England's road to recovery. There is more throughout the evening on the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
BBC News Channel. We're back with the late | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Good evening and welcome. People from a village badly affected | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
by a tidal surge three weeks ago are about to complete a charity walk. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
They were aiming to raise hundreds of pounds for flood victims in South | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Ferriby. Paul Lead has the story. When the surge struck three weeks | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
ago, many homes on the banks of the Humber were under water. South | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Ferriby was badly hit. But it has brought people together to help. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
This the start point of a charity walk this morning. It's brilliant. | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
These people are prepared to give up some of the Christmas holidays and | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
people here have Christmas cancelled. My grandma has happily | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
affected by the floods so I'm doing this to help others. It's a chance | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
to help the community and people that have been affected by the | :01:00. | :01:00. | |
floods. Their route through towns and | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
villages in North Lincolnshire took them to Appleby, Broughton and | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Brigg, and people who'd heard about the floods were quick to donate | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
cash. It will be months before all the homes are repaired, and they'll | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
be keeping their eyes on high tides predicted next week. But in a | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
crisis, they now know they have neighbours they can count on. | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
Strong winds have caused some problems on the roads. It's thought | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
a gust of wind played a part in this lorry spilling its load of tonnes of | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
cat litter on the Immingham junction of the A180. Both the Humber Bridge | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
and the Ouse Bridge were closed to high`sided vehicles during the day. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Air display teams from around the world are being invited to help | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
celebrate the Lincolnshire`based Red Arrows' 50th display season. Events | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
are being planned for 2014 to celebrate the milestone, including | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
displays at the Royal International Air Tattoo in Gloucestershire and at | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
the Waddington Air Show. ?10,000 is being spent buying the | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
latest technology to loan to elderly people in East Yorkshire. It's hoped | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
if they learn to use the tablet devices, they will be able to get | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
access to health advice, as well as keep in touch with family and | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
friends, as Amy Cole reports. Since October, this group of pensioners | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
has been learning how to use a tablet. Today they are being taught | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
to make a video, something they've never done before. Where going to be | :02:20. | :02:34. | |
very busy. Peter Copley is aged four years old. The tablet is taking time | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
for used to. You could just walk around with the tablet and to show | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
it to the family so they can have a conversation with the person at the | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
other end. The rest of the class gets 13 to see how it works. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
And a chance to have some fun with it. `` their chance. The hope is | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
that eventually, they use the tablets at home to video call family | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
and friends. My son and family live in Cheshire and my grandson is | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
particularly competent at iPads and the like so I shall enjoy being able | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
to compact `` contact him. Last week, I was reading a book, which | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
was great and it's great that I can enlarge the figures and letters. The | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
pilot is a joint partnership between GPs and the council. We've got a | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
vast area of thousands of square miles and rural projects `` villages | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
and this project makes it easier to connect people. The group will be | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
encouraged to download apps to help with their health care needs and | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
interact with their GPs. Hull City could be without their | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
goalkeeper Alan McGregor and David Meyler for the team's home game | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
against Fulham tomorrow at the KC Stadium. Both were injured in the | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
game against Manchester United, which the Tigers were at one stage | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
leading 2`0. However, a James Chester own`goal made it 3`2 to give | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
the visitors victory. Very good. They had their chances but they | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
played really well. The buyers did great today. I've lost all respect | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
for Manchester United. This is a ridiculous schedule that we have to | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
play when there is so much at stake but we'll have to recover in time | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
for Saturday. Scunthorpe United were denied a win | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
late in stoppage time when Bury scored to make it a draw. Sam | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Winnall tapped this in to put the Iron 1`0 up. But after firing in a | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
second, he was then sent off after a second booking for the way he | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
celebrated the goal. Bury came back and levelled the game just before | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
the whistle. Third`placed Scunthorpe are away at second`placed Oxford | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
United on Sunday. Now the weather forecast with Paul | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
Hudson. It's been very gusty. There were | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
gusts of 75 miles an hour earlier on. Tomorrow, south`westerly gales | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
were moderate overnights and they will be squally showers which will | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
die away. Watch out for icy patches. Lows of two Celsius in rural | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
locations. Less windy but still quite breezy. A day of isolated | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
showers but most places try and find with a good deal of sunshine. Top | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
temperatures coming in at six Celsius. Widespread frost on | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Saturday. Sunday looks dry with some sunshine but strong winds and | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
further heavy `` have you went to come. We are back just after 10pm | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
this evening with a further update. Goodbye. | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
Good evening. What a week it has been, a stormy start, a law through | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
Christmas, then a wild end to the week, had to keep up, isn't | :06:18. | :06:18. |
