me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight... | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Human remains found in Russia could be the crew of a Hull trawler that | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
sank 40 years ago. The hope is that somebody, somewhere, will be able to | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
lay their relatives to rest in dignity. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
He wanted 1,000 volunteers to come forward ` tonight Lincolnshire's | :00:27. | :00:28. | |

The Christmas dinner ruined by last week's flooding ` and the business | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
stepping in to make sure the celebrations still go ahead. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
We meet the man who shares his home with 1,700 gnomes. | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
And there is some dense fog around across parts of Lincolnshire and | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Norfolk. That will clear up. Join me later for the forecast. | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
Good evening. Families face an agonising wait to | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
learn if human remains which have been discovered in Russia are those | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
of crew members of the Hull trawler, Gaul, which sank in heavy seas | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
almost 40 years ago. 36 men were lost when the ship sank in the | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Barents Sea off the Norwegian coast in February 1974. Bodies were washed | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
up in the Murmansk region of Russia over the following 18 months and | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
they've now been discovered by scientists. The crew's families will | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
now provide information and DNA to help identify the bodies. Jo Makel | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
reports. Could remains found in northern | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Russia be those of crew members from this sunken ship, the Gaul? It's | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
thought they washed up on the Murmansk coastline in the months | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
after the ship sank and lay there for decades covered with rocks. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
There are remains of between five and ten men. The Russian authorities | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
and Humberside Police are now trying to work out if they are from the | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
Gaul. It would be reasonable to assume that bodies from a ship that | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
sank in the area that the Gaul sank in could wash ashore in this area. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
That is not to say that these remains are the remains of crew | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
members. We have a series of tests to be undertaken before we could | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
make any further comment or establish any more information about | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
that. Relatives of the Gaul crew in Hull have agreed to have DNA samples | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
taken so comparisons can be made. The hope is that somebody, | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
somewhere, will be able to lay their relatives to rest with dignity and | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
in a manner that befits them. We have a rip in the timeline of our | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
family which can never be patched up. I am pleased in one sense that | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
it looks as if this could be a breakthrough. The families I have | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
already spoken to, there is mixed emotions. There is a real feeling | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
that all this could have happened earlier. Questions have always | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
surrounded the fate of the Gaul crew. In 1974 when the ship sank, | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
officials blamed heavy seas. But this was the height of Cold War. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Some thought it was targeted as a spy ship. The families hoped for | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
answers when the wreck was found in 1997. Two years later, some remains | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
were exhumed in Russia but they weren't Gaul crew members. And in | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
2002, the remains of four crew men were recovered from the wreck, | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
although no other bodies were found. When a fresh public inquiry in 2004 | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
again dismissed the spying claims and found the ship was overcome, | :03:34. | :03:47. | |
some still had doubts. 40 years since the `` since the Gaul left the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
fish stocks of Hull, its fate is still surrounded by injury. This | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
latest development will bring a mix of emotions for the families and | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
also months of waiting for an answer. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
A little earlier I spoke to former Hull East MP, Lord Prescott, who | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
commissioned a survey of the Gaul wreck in 1999. He gave me his | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
reaction to the news. Well, it is a curious one. Since relatives want to | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
know what happened in the end, the pilot `` the possibility that this | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
could be the remains of people from the Gaul, at least we can address | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
that. Hopefully, they are. Then we can go through the proper | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
ceremonies. How do you think the relatives will be feeling? Will it | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
help? I think it is `` I think it will. It is a highly personalised | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
thing. People want to know what happens to the ship. We now know | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
that because of the enquiries I brought in. But what happened to the | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
crew men who died at sea? If these are the ones, it will bring closure. | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
There will be uncertainty until we know for sure. Can you speed up the | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
procedure so it is done as quickly as possible? I think the Humberside | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
Police working with the Foreign Office and the Russian authorities | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
have done their best. We have not yet completed the full examination | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
to establish whether they are the ones from the Gaul. I want to thank | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
the Russian authorities. I approached the Russian Prime | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Minister to ask them to open a grave. It did not turn out to be one | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
of the crew men, but they have continued and hopefully we have | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
found that they are the remains and we can give a proper burial. Could | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
you have imagined, when this happened, that we would be talking | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
about it nearly 40 years later? Yes, it is quite remarkable, isn't it? It | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
was the Russian Prime Minister who replace Dashiell explained to me | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
that it was difficult to dig in that part of the country. `` the Russian | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
Prime Minister who explained to me that it was difficult to dig. There | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
were a lot of rocks which are quite common in that part of the country. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
So after 40 years, I hope the relatives, who are the important | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
ones, feel that if it least it is the Gaul, we can give them a proper | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
burial. Lord Prescott, thank you very much. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
We will continue to follow that story. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
In a moment, we're with an unsung hero as he prepares for his night | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
out with Britain's sporting superstars. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
The first six of what could be 1,000 police volunteers are being welcomed | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
into the Lincolnshire force this evening. The Police and Crime | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Commissioner Alan Hardwick is asking people to work for free as he aims | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
to manage a shrinking budget while making police more visible across | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
the county. Opponents say the money would be better spent employing | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
police officers. Amanda White reports. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
PCSOs have become the modern`day bobby on the beat. Criticised by | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
some as policing on the cheap, they're about to get cheaper. In | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
Lincolnshire they want 250 people to do it for free. Volunteer PCSOs are | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
not policing on the cheap. Their presence on the streets of | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Lincolnshire, starting in 2014, will enhance the policing of this county | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
and will help the county be the safest in which to live. Alan | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
Hardwick is looking to recruit a total of 1,000 volunteers at | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Lincolnshire Police. 250 of these will be Volunteer Police and | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Community Support Officers. If this is achieved the cost to Lincolnshire | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Police will be ?150,000. Today's lunch time panel on BBC Radio | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Lincolnshire need to be convinced it'll work. Presumably, there will | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
be a cost associated with training them. So it is not as if it is | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
completely cost free. We have very few people who will volunteer for | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
all sorts of other things, why would they want to volunteer to be a PCSO? | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
What society wants is more police officers out there on the beat with | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
the powers to stop people from committing crime. The voluntary | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
PCSOs will have the same job as paid officers but they will have `` they | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
will give hours in the week free. There are major reservations about | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
the plan. It is a dire indictment of the way the government has treated | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
the police. It has taken money out of the forces, and we have to look | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
for volunteers I would prefer police officers. But new volunteers are | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
coming forward and they will be officially welcomed into the force. | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
The Deputy Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Force, Keith Smy is at | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
Police Headquarters. Bearing in mind what we just heard, is this policing | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
on the chief `` policing on the cheap? No, not at all. It is an | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
opportunity to invest some upfront money in relation to recruiting, | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
equipment and training volunteers. And thereafter, very quickly, that | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
return on investment is a superb return. For every ?1 spent, will get | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
ten or ?15 back. The aim is to get 1000 volunteers by 2015. How will | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
you find the other 988? We have over 450 volunteers with us already. It's | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
essential number of special constables, police cadets and adult | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
volunteers. This is a new initiative to look at a new type of volunteer | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
to support our police community support officers. If it will cost | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
?150,000, some people would say that it will be better to get police | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
officers. The Commissioner has made it clear that even with a tight | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
budget he will sustain `` sustain the number of police officers and | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
police staff for a few years. He has made additional money available to | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
test this investment. But you would not have chosen this, yet `` it has | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
been forced upon you? No, I disagree. I am an advocate of the | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
engagement of the community in volunteering in public services. I | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
have been a supporter of the special Constabulary for my entire 29 years | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
of service. We have always had volunteers assisting us over a wide | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
range of services. Neighbourhood watch, speed watch... Is it not | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
undermining the existing PCSOs by saying they could get people to work | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
for nothing? Then they will be at risk anyway? No, I'm firmly opposed | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
to that suggestion. Our strategic partners have pledged not to | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
undermine employed staff. This is additional expansion, development of | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
a range of services for our community. Thank you very much. My | :11:27. | :11:37. | |
pleasure. What do you think? Do you think Lincolnshire Police are right | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
to ask for volunteers as a way of dealing with the budget squeeze? | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Would you be unhappy with underpaid PCSOs working for Lincolnshire | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Police? If you want to comment on this, contact us. | :11:51. | :12:13. | |
Up to 100 jobs could come to Grimsby as the renewables capital of the UK. | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
Dong Energy has today signed an agreement with ABP to locate its | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
offshore wind operations in Grimsby. It's hoped the move will create jobs | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
and pave the way for a new harbour and pontoon facilities within the | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
town's Royal Dock. The schools inspector, Ofsted, says | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
that some children in the Yorkshire and the Humber Region are lagging | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
behind by the rest of the country. Only 74% of children are at primary | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
schools considered "good" or "better". In the East Riding of | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire more than half of | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
pupils are in schools which are classed as "not yet good". We are | :12:45. | :12:54. | |
getting left behind. If we want to compete as a country, complete | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
economic league and socially, we have to make sure everybody gets a | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
decent education and we have high standards for all. It is not | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
happening everywhere at the moment. The system in general is improving. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Controversial car parking charges introduced in East Lindsey just | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
seven months ago are being reviewed. It comes after residents and | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
businesses in the area criticised the changes. The District Council | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
says it will consider two`hour free parking and permit schemes as part | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
of the review. Hundreds of thousands of pounds is | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
being spent in East Yorkshire to combat what is seen as one of the | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
most serious health conditions facing the planet. World leaders | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
have been meeting in London to consider how to deal with the growth | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
in dementia cases. In this area many people remain undiagnosed and one | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Professor has expressed concern that there isn't enough support for | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
people with the condition. Our Health Correspondent Vicky Johnson | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
has more. Dementia is a big problem in Hull. | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
But poor diagnosis rates mean more than half those with the condition | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
do not even realise. In UK's every four microseconds. Today, world | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
leaders have been discussing how to fund research for a cure, and how to | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
prevent it. Crucially, helping those who have dementia to live well and | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
with dignity. This woman and her husband were among the lucky ones. | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
He was diagnosed early. They both get lots of support. We go dancing, | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
we go on trips to Whitby and two places. `` and two places. It is | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
having something to look forward to and knowing the support is there at | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
the same time that helps. Hundreds of thousands of pounds has been | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
committed to improve diagnosis rates and raise awareness. We will also do | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
something around the end of the year about being a dementia friendly | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
city. It is important that if you are in a bank or in a supermarket | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
you can spot the signs of dementia and help somebody do their business. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
But the system is already under pressure. Some fear that if | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
diagnosis rates increase, it could be at the expense of support with | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
those already with the condition. There are a lot of risks of making | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
diagnosis, perhaps making those who are eligible and anti`Tim entered | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
drug. Not all people with dementia are eligible. `` and anti`dementia | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
drug. Then send them back to their GP when they need more than that. | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
The priority here is encouraging those with the disease to lead a | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
happy and fulfilling life as much as possible. | :15:46. | :15:55. | |
It is 6:45pm. Still ahead, the hotel stepping in to save Christmas dinner | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
for some of our's flood victims. And I am an Alford to find out who | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
shares his home with all of these gnomes. | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
Short objects still to come on the programme tonight. But before then, | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
this is Digby Fenn. Thank you very much for that picture. | :16:23. | :16:36. | |
My grandma has an old cookbook from the 1970s, says this viewer. At | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
Christmas it is not unusual to find Peter slightly tipsy in the studio, | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
not sure if it is the record going round, or himself. | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
That was from 90s `` from donkeys years ago. | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
In the next 24 hours, changing. Patchy rain. A big change in the | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
weather conditions. Goodbye to the high pressure and hello to the West. | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
Westerly 's will dominate the second half of December. At times, we will | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
have heavy rain and strong winds. But it will not be all doom and | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
gloom. There will be some brightness. A big change to more | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
typical December weather. Frog is the main is you at the moment. | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
Across Norfolk, southern part of Lincolnshire. That frog is pretty | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
dense. Do take care on the roads. Very slowly, the cloud will push in | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
from the south`west. The breeze will pick up, too. That should pick up | :17:43. | :17:54. | |
the fog. The sun will rise in the morning at these times. And these | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
are the high water times. A dry start, perhaps a bright start and | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
praises. `` in places. There will be some patchy rain heading in from | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
that direction. Amounts will be small. Most places stay dry. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Afternoon temperatures will feel quite chilly even though values are | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
above where we have been today. There will be a blustery south`west | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
wind. Friday not looking too clever. Cloudy with further outbreaks of | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
rain. Saturday will be the best day of the weekend. That is the | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
forecast. You can drive me to drink, working with you every night! | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
I thought you were about to show and a bad thing picture. I got of quite | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
likely `` quite live `` I got of quite like to leave. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
The winner of the unsung is `` the Unsung Hero award is Neil Kelsey. He | :19:02. | :19:12. | |
will take his place at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
ceremony which is being held in Leeds on Sunday night. | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
Today's school assembly at Bricknell Primary and guest of honour is | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
Unsung Hero award winner Neil Kelsey. He coaches at the school and | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
the children have much to say about him and his prospect of winning the | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
Unsung Hero award at Sports Personality of the Year. I think he | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
will do well, he has a good chance. Really good. Excellent. I think he | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
has a really good chance of winning because he is a really good coach. I | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
think he will definitely do well. It will be exciting for everyone to | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
watch and exciting for him as well. Neal Kelsey won the award for years | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
of dedicated service to basketball in Hull and the East Riding of | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
Yorkshire. He is bouncing with delight at the prospect of beating | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
stars like Jessica Ennis`Hill and Sir Bradley Wiggins at the sports | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
personality awards in Leeds. I'm looking forward to it. My son is | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
coming with me. personality awards in Leeds. I'm | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
looking forward to it. My son is We are sports fanatics and we will have | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
a wonderful day. Today, Bricknell Primary gave Neal a wonderful | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
sendoff before his big day. He is engaging children who may not be | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
naturally sporty and may not be what Ashton may not want to be involved. | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
He is also incredibly good at taking the gifted and talented children and | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
turning them into enthusiastic sportspeople. Whether he wins on | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
Sunday or not, with these pupils, Neil Kelsey is already a winner. | :21:03. | :21:15. | |
Good luck to him for Sunday night. You can see the BBC Sports | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Personality of the Year on Sunday from 7:40pm. It is from late this | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
year. Hull City has confirmed that it has | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
sent a letter to the FA asking for a name change. Assem Allam, the owner, | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
has confirmed he wants the club to be known as Hull Tigers from next | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
year despite fan protest. The rivers or we will be considered in April. A | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
baby `` the proposal will be considered. | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
A baby penguin has been born in Texas. | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
The baby, Gentoo, will join other penguins in the polls next year. It | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
is a nervous wait. In the first few days, any baby animal is delicate. | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
But the news that we have hatched a baby check is exciting but we have | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
to wait until things develop. Last week's floods caused problems | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
for people in this region but many have been heartened by the kindness | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
they received from strangers. Dozens of pensioners will serve Christmas | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
dinner by a local hotel after the Age UK centre had to close because | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
of flood damage. In the surroundings of Hull's Royal | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
hotel, the food has been donated. Nowadays, it is easy to focus on | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
profit but there are other things which are extremely important. We | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
work with various other people throughout the year in terms of the | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
local community. Today's diners are especially grateful. I did think, | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
someone has put in a lot of effort. They were saying do it after | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
Christmas, but it's not the same. People are tucking into turkey here. | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
People who thought their Christmas dinner had been cancelled. Several | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
feet of water flooded Hull City centre on Thursday night. The Age UK | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
centre was one of the victims. We had six parties books `` are booked | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
and people `` hundreds of people who would have been attending. We have | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
been able to get people down to the hotel. It is wonderful, the | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
community spirit that has enabled people to pull together and give old | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
people a meal before Christmas. There are other examples of how the | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
weather has brought out the best in people. In Boston, food parcels have | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
been put together and presents donated for those suffering. There | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
is a presentation at the Christmas dinner for the best`known | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
fundraiser. But the ladies are also grateful for the meal. When they | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
said we could have it in the town, it was lovely, everybody cheered up. | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
Once I take this costume off, I will enjoy my dinner. And thanks to the | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
kindness shown here, she's not the only one. | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Well done to the hotel. Lots of people enjoy hobbies when they get | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
home from work. Some people enjoy football and lots of people are | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
collectors. But very few are like Ron Broomfield. | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
Meet Ron Broomfield. No one is a bigger fan of these little men with | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
pointy hats than him. Gnomes are fantastic. Always happy`go`lucky. | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
You go around, never know what you will find. Different characters. Ron | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
takes pride in his collection and he says many people come to see his | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
gnomes. He has got big ones, small ones and even royal ones. I feel a | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
tad underdressed to be in the company of no royalty. Ron has 1700 | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
gnomes and he has been collecting them for 50 years. Ron even keeps a | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
record of all his gnomes. But there are still a couple he wants. There | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
were two doing the leapfrog. And there were some tug`of`war gnomes | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
which I was hoping to get. I always keep looking out to see if I can | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
find something a little different to what I have got. I think it is it | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
obvious what Ron will be looking for for Christmas. He assures me there | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
is room for a few additions. And well done to Ron and Gemma. And | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
good evening to Ron's neighbour. Let's recap the main headlines. | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
?21 million fine for putting staff under too much pressure at Lloyd's. | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
Families which you learn if human relic `` human remains discovered in | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
Russia are members of the goal which sank 40 years ago. | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
Becoming dry and bright. Temperatures around nine Celsius. A | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
change coming to rain. The volunteers that we were talking | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
about earlier from Lincolnshire Police. | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
Terry says, of course this is policing on the cheap. They are not | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
even trained properly. Sarah says I was a police constable | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
on Humberside. They are a massive past of the police family. `` a | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
massive part. But we need more officers as well. Laura on twitter | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
says that the volunteer PCSO has the same pressures as paid staff, it is | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
criminal. This is not `` this is anonymous, | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
from a PCSO. I do not agree with volunteers, we | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
get slated enough and not being a proper copper. | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
And finally, the authorities can say what they like, but this is policing | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
on the cheap. What next, cardboard Bobbies? Join me on the radio if you | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
can. Good night. | :27:46. | :27:52. |
