Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
A world medical first that gave this woman a new kidney and a new | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
lease of life. The kidney was available, and I | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
thought, what have I got to lose? Looks just get on and do it. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
No help for heroes - the veterans forced to pay to march though a | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Lincolnshire town. We reveal the tiny fat-fighters | :00:27. | :00:37. | |

clearing Hull's clogged sewers. fight all the way to Bondi Beach | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
when you can come here, to Bridlington. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
And the Harry Potter star telling the world about the magic of the | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
Yorkshire Coast. All are very latest in the weather | :00:52. | :01:01. | |
A woman from Lincoln has told Look North she's got her life back after | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
becoming the first person in the world to receive a donor kidney | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
treated with a pioneering 'warming' technique. Deborah Bakewell had | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
been on dialysis for nine hours a day for two years after suffering | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
kidney failure. But this new method helps boost the effectiveness of | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
organs which might otherwise have been rejected. It is now hoped the | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
research could cut the transplant waiting list by more than 10%. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Vicky Johnson's report does contain images of animal organs and an | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
operation. Deborah Bakewell from Lincoln has | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
quite literally been given a new lease of life. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
The freedom has been amazing, I don't have to plan things so much. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
For want to go shopping, I go shopping. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
She suffers from a rare genetic kidney disease which meant she was | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
on dialysis for nine hours every night. But she was the first person | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
in the world to benefit from a new technique during her transplant. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
For a split second I thought, I am going to be a guinea pig. However, | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
I thought to myself, what am I doing? The Professor is someone I | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
trust, his team are brilliant, the research he has done seems to be on | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
the button, and I trust his judgement. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Transplant operations using kidneys from dead donors don't always work | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
as well as those from living donors. But researchers using pigs' kidneys | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
have found that a so-called perfusion machine warms the kidney | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
with oxygenated blood, helping to reverse any damage. A team in | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Leicester has recently been using this process on human kidneys. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
We can take the kidney and rather than transplanting and seeing | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
whether it works or not. The kidney is perfused with blood and you can | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
decide whether it's healthy or not before transplanting it. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Just over a year on and Deborah's enjoying life to the full with her | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
family. It's incredible - before she was | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
:03:10. | :03:11. | ||
confined to her room, but now she has new lease of life. | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
We now have a bike, so we can have a drink or have a meal she has a | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
chance to see her granddaughter. Deborah's donated kidney had been | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
rejected by five different hospitals before this new technique | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
made it viable. It is hoped an extra 500 patients a year could | :03:31. | :03:41. | |
:03:41. | :03:42. | ||
soon, like Deborah, be benefiting An incredible story, and we wish | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Deborah well. In a moment on tonight's Look North | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
There are calls tonight for East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
to be represented by its own parliament. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
And I am at the official opening of Yorkshire's first ever charity pub. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
Join me later at the party. There are calls tonight for East | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire to be represented by its own Parliament. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Campaigners claim a Yorkshire and Humber regional assembly would lead | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
to more government money being spent in the North. In a moment, | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
I'll be speaking to the former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
who is backing the campaign. But first, let's get more from our | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
Political Editor Tim Iredale. More than 5 million people live in | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
the Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, but the bulk of the | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
region's tax money is spent by officials in London. | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
The economy of the Yorkshire and Humber region is worth around �80 | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
billion. That is similar to some small countries, including Ireland, | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Greece and Norway. A comparison which has prompted MPs to call for | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
home rule for the North. The North is actually worse treated | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
and Scotland, which has its own powers to make its own decisions, | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
and that energises things. And the areas further south, which is more | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
prosperous. So, what do southerners think about | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
the prospect of devolution for the North? | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
Ridiculous! Unless they want to finance it. No, we want our England. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
We have to have areas that are still English. It seems ridiculous | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
for them to have a separate Parliament. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
I am not sure about more than independence, where would you draw | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
the line? The his idea has been around before. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
When Labour was in power John Prescott wanted to create regional | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
assemblies. The idea was dropped when voters in the north-east | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
rejected proposals in a referendum and made accusations - -- in a | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
referendum. Amid accusations of snaps in the trough it was scrapped. | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
Many places, such as the pink farm in Scunthorpe, would like to see an | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
assembly fighting their corner. To have a Yorkshire and has -- | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Yorkshire and Humber Parliament looking after the area would be | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
good, because only people in the area would know about the area, and | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
in these stricken times the original theatre best place the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
finances. The Government is rolling out the | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
prospect of giving the green light to assemblies, but campaigners say | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
they will keep up the pressure for more power in the north. Joining us | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
now from London is Lord Prescott, the former Hull MP and Deputy Prime | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
Minister. Doctors caught why do we need more politicians on top of | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
those we have in Westminster it? We want more powers and resources | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
denied to us under the present political system. Scotland and | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Wales get far more per head than the English regions do. The north- | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
west, Yorkshire and the north-east, all of them across the North. I put | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
that case once, it got defeated in the north-east, but let's be clear | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
- it Wells demolition and Scottish devolution were defeated by a | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
referendum and came back in 20 years. The movement is now two | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
regions, so when you talk of quangos, we want the regional | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
development agencies. The Tories scrapped at, this gap -- except for | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and we are left with small | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
localism bodies that Board have the powers to make the difference | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
between us -- between the north and south. | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
We had a try of it and people didn't wanted. | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
They didn't want it in Scotland or Wales, 20 years later they voted | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
for it. They saw the purpose of it and that is what is happening now. | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
If you think of the difference in money between Scotland and England, | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
they get far more per head. They have been able to force more of | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
those resources at the expense of the North. We need that political | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
influence and the much -- decision- making at the centre of it to get | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
our fair share of the resources. When the Scottish Parliament was | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
built it ended up costing eight times the original budget. How much | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
would this cost? The sort of Parliament I am talking | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
about, assemblies, elected regional assemblies. Things are moving to | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
the region. If you look at police forces, going to regional crime, | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
the actor Paul was just announced by police commissioners that we | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
don't have to go through privatisation if we have regional | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
:08:37. | :08:37. | ||
development. -- th ACPO. And the cost? | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
We haven't done the cost for it, but with Scotland, and Northern | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Ireland, we could certainly do with that in the English regions. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Thank you very much for talking to us tonight. I am sure you will have | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
a view on this, should East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire be | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
represented by its own Parliament? What benefits do you think it would | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
What benefits do you think it would bring? Or be you think the money | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
would be better spent elsewhere? We would love to hear your thoughts on | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
:09:16. | :09:22. | ||
I look forward to hearing from you as always, we will have some before | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
we finish. A multimillion pound investment in | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Lincoln city centre has been backed by the council. The Lindongate | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
scheme is set to include a department store, around 900 car | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
park spaces and new riverside restaurants. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
The A180 near Immingham remains closed in both directions tonight | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
after a lorry crash. It happened around midday today when a lorry | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
careered into the central reservation. The driver is believed | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
to have suffered only minor injuries. The road is closed | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
between the EuroParc and Stallingborough junctions. | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
Bridlington's MusicPort festival has been cancelled. The world music | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
event was due to be held in the resort again this summer, but the | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
company which runs it has gone into liquidation. The council has said | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
it is disappointed. There is anger at plans to bulldoze | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
this historic arts venue in Hornsea, and replace it with a car park. | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
East Riding Council is expected to demolish the Floral Hall, claiming | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
it can't justify spending public money on it. But campaigners say it | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
is at the heart of the community and must be saved. We really need | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
the Floral Hall to continue to be able to encourage the children of | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
this town to take part in productions and encourage the | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
:10:40. | :10:42. | ||
talent we have. prison than pay to hold at the | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
event. Lincolnshire police used to direct traffic at events like the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
parades for three, but they say they can no longer afford it. It | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
means war veterans are among those who have been told to pay �2,000 if | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
they want to continue parading. Our reporter has been to Grantham to | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
find out more. For as long as Remembrance Day has | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
existed, veterans across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
honoured their fallen comrades by parading through the streets. But | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
for veterans in Grantham, this tradition is now under threat. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Each year, hundreds of people take part in the Remembrance Day parade, | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
marching the length of a high street, their destination is here, | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
the Cenotaph. But organisers have been told the police will no longer | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
manage the road closure and they must pay a private company to do | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
the job at a cost of �2,000. We have no chance of getting it. | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
The ex service people who come on our parades have all voiced their | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
opinions and are all of the same opinion - we're having our | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Remembrance Day parade with or without permission, and if they | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
want to arrest us at the end of it, they can feel free. | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
And it is not just the Royal British Legion - Grantham Scouts St | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
George's Day parade may have to be cancelled, as well. | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
We cannot put participants at risk if the roads are not closed, and we | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
cannot afford to pay for that. This has never been necessary in | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
the past, why now? We are in a different environment. | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
Financially we are in a different environment and we have had to | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
reduce our resources. I have to consider resourcing the parade and | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
also at the same time policing the community at that time. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |

But, with better at -- Veterans adamant they will defy the law, | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
somehow a solution needs to be found. | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
An interesting story. While Lincolnshire police have chosen to | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
do this, Humberside have not. They say they will carry on policing | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
road closures as they always have done, without charging groups like | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
:13:21. | :13:30. | ||

High pressure moves that from the south-west tomorrow and it looks | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
like a prolonged spell of dry weather is to come. With | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
Lincolnshire, we have a drought situation so that is not what we | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
want to hear there. The chance of a lot like shower in this clump of | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
cloud but it is essentially a dry evening for most of us. There will | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
be clear slots though. Temperatures temporarily dropping back to five | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
degrees Celsius. A little drizzle, perhaps, over the top of the | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
:15:27. | :15:31. | ||
Quite a cloudy day on Friday. The thick enough for a bit of drizzle | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
in places but the emphasis on -- is on dry weather. There will be some | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
sunny spells around but there will be more cloud than sunshine | :15:41. | :15:51. | |

A milder feeling day. Quite a spring-like weekender to come. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |

Fat-eating bacteria are being put into Hulls sewers to try and tackle | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
the massive blockages that are clogging up the system. Yorkshire | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
water is the only company in the country to use this treatment. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Engineers were called to remove 350 blockages from Hull's sewers last | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
month alone. In the last six months, they've dealt with 1,700 call-outs | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
in the city. And across Yorkshire, the total amount of fat removed | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
from sewers last year was the same weight as 400 African elephants. | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
Our Environment Correspondent, Siobhan Robbins, has more. | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
It may look like Porto but this liquid contains superbugs, and | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
greedy bacteria which feed on fat. The superbugs have one mission - to | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
unblock our trains. We get a small minority of customers pouring hot | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
fat down the kitchen sink and that built up over time. That is when | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
you get blockages which is when sewers can blackcap and, in a worst | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
case scenario, can flood people's homes. This is fat and it sticks | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
together. Yorkshire Water has already removed some of this, but | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
every year they take out the equivalent of 250 double-decker bus | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
loads. This picture shows how clog up the system can get and, in bad | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
cases, sewage can flow back into homes. It has caused Beer's -- big | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
problems in the past four this restaurant. The corridors get | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
flooded when there is a backlog and the toilets get flooded. Everything | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
is rising when it rains and, on Monday lunchtime, we closed the | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
restaurant because the smell was unbearable. Although the superbugs | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
help solve the problem, others think we need more long-term | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
solutions. The broader a solution is to be considered as to why there | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
is so much muck down the drains which doesn't need to go there. We | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
have all been trained and dedicated into recycling plastics and | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
everything, why not recycle fat? Seven hot spots around the City are | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
being cleared. It is clear at the super bugs eat the fat and keep our | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
unwanted waste underground. Thank you to everyone who got in | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
touch with us after the news that Scunthorpe is to get a new out-of- | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
town retail development. The plan, which includes a branch of Marks | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
and Spencer, was given the go-ahead by planners, but shopkeepers in the | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
town centre fear it could kill the high street. Here are some of your | :18:56. | :19:06. | |
:19:06. | :19:38. | ||
What do we think about that? Thank you for those. | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
Lincoln swimmer Lizzie Simmonds could move a step closer to Olympic | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
qualification this evening. After missing out in the 100 metres | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
backstroke, she will race in the semi-finals of the 200 metres | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
backstroke tonight. The event is her last chance to make the London | :19:50. | :19:59. | |
games. Good luck to her. The hidden gems of our coastline | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
will take the starring role in a new national television advert this | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
evening. It features none other than Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
better known as Ron Weasley, surfing on Fraisthorpe beach near | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Bridlington. It's hoped the ad will help boost visitor numbers to this | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
part of the country. Linsey Smith has been to Fraisthorpe to find out | :20:16. | :20:26. | |
:20:26. | :20:30. | ||
Why go to Bondi when you can come here? You won't see the Olympic | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
torch relay in Corfu or creed. The aim... Its aim is to get more | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
of us to holiday at home. And today at Fraisthorpe beach, the feeling | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
was that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I have been | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
serving here for up to six years. It has been good. A bit cold. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
passports, jabs... To have Bridlington featured in | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
this advertisement, alongside the holiday hotspots like the Lake | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
District and Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway, it cost | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
Yorkshire's tourism Board a six figure sum. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
We are optimistic the campaign will drive traffic to the coast and to | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
the rest of our county. Tourism bosses hope the campaign is | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
successful, not only because they have spent so much money on it, but | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
because tourism is vital to Yorkshire's economy. Across the | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
county, it is worth �7 billion a year. 250,000 jobs rely on it and | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
216 million visitors make the trip already each year. | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
What do you think? I say the same, why go to Bondi a when you can go | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
to Bridlington? I am OK with the weather. They it is spot-on because | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
I can't go to anyone with this one. So Skegness will also get his | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
moment in the spotlight with some short spin-off adverts. It is hoped | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
that this, the biggest-ever domestic tourism campaign, will | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
prove to be magic with Hollywood stars. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
That is fantastic. The advert starts tonight. Let's hope it does | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
the trick. A new way of supporting charity is | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
being tried out in Hull and all it involves is going to the pub! All | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
the profits made at The Wassand Arms will go towards a children's | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
charity. The pub is only the third of its kind to open in the country | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
and was officially opened in the last hour. Our reporter, Emma | :22:45. | :22:55. | |
Massey, is there for us now. What is going on? Everyone is | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
celebrating the opening of the The Wassand Arms. It is the first ever | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
charity pub in Yorkshire. Alan Johnson is here lending his support. | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
Earlier on, he managed to cut the ribbon to officially open the pub. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
The buzz is great here this evening. Everyone is excited about the | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
Last-minute preparations are well under way at Yorkshire's first ever | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
charity pub. Almost everything from the pub itself to the drinks on | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
sale have been donated. And all the profits will go to Hull-based | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
charity, The Echoes Foundation. aim is for us to become self | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
sustainable. I don't want to keep relying on the public. They have | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
been fantastic and are generis and we would not have got where we are | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
without them but you can't keep going back to the same people. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
charity helps families with disabled children. It has its own | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
therapy room and mobile sensory equipment. One family to benefit is | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
the Dickens. It gave them advice and help when they disabled | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
daughter was diagnosed. We would have been lost. The help from then | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
was done within four weeks and it was an easy transition from nothing | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
to diagnosis and them helping us. They think the charity pub is a | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
great idea. It is nice for them not to have to rely on things that are | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
set-up like hammering parties. They have always had to try and get a | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
venue for that. Now, they have the venue all the time which is | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
brilliant. With profit from every pint going to such a good cause, | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
this is one pub where everyone will leave in high spirits. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
So, everything has been donated from the booze-up to the beer mats | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
and even the bar itself. Clare Stockton from the The Echoes | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Foundation was the brainchild but it was Sue Perkins who had the | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
venue. Why did you decide to get involved? Listening to a speech at | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
a Women in Business dinner was inspirational. In four years, what | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
that lady has done is amazing. she make the place work? She has | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
such a following and to have the venue and know it is going back to | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
charity will be great. The difference is it's a lovely place | :25:36. | :25:45. | |
and it's lovely when people are in here. It is great that play can be | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
here and put her heart and soul into it. A couple of punters want | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
to have a word. It looks absolutely amazing after all our hard work | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
helping the charity to refurbish everything. I you impressed? | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
Absolutely. There is a brilliant turnout and another successful | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
adventure for The Echoes Foundation. The The Wassand Arms it opens for | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
business tomorrow. Thank you. A good IT -- idea. I | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
wonder if Alan Johnson knew he was on the telly. | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines: The six | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
soldiers killed in Afghanistan are named. Three of them were from the | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
same town, Huddersfield. Five of them were aged 21 or under. | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
A world medical first has given this woman from Lincoln a new | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
kidney and a new lease of life. Tomorrow's weather: Cloudy with a | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
little drizzle possible in the morning but most places dry. | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
:26:54. | :26:56. | ||
Turning brighter at times. Maximum A response coming in on the subject | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
of the regional assemblies. We were talking to Lord Prescott. One | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
viewer says we don't need a separate regional assembly as MPs | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
already get paid plenty and shipped just shout louder. | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
From Anthony, long before we think about regional assemblies, which it | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
should keep England together and create a single English parliament. | :27:20. | :27:26. |
