We have to work hard to make a profit. . We've had Prime Ministers | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
say how proud they are of their soldiers. They gave their yesterdays | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
for our tomorrows. We owe it to them. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Protesters who ambushed a train at Drax Power Station have had their | :00:47. | :00:50. | |

Rain on the way tonight. That detailed five`day forecast follow | :01:00. | :01:00. | |
very shortly. Good evening. Crime is down across | :01:01. | :01:17. | |
Lincolnshire according to the county's Police and Crime | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Commisioner. But MPs have suggested that police crime figures should be | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
taken with a pinch of salt amid claims that some forces are | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
manipulating the numbers to try and hit targets. Alan Hardwick says his | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
force doesn't have targets and the figures are accurate. Today he's | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
announced plans to deal with shoplifting which is one of the few | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
crimes on the rise. Simon Spark reports. Stacking shelves but | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
keeping a careful watch. Theft and shoplifting has increased by 5% in | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
the last year, with an extra 443 crimes, according to Lincolnshire | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
police's latest performance report. But that's in surprise to this shop | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
in Lincoln. Unfortunately we have more shoplifting. Anything, food, | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
alcohol, anything is with people with hardly any income. They are | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
desperate for things and they target shops like this but shops like this | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
have quite low margins and we have to work as hard as we can to make a | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
profit and it really does call financial problems. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
But Lincolnshire police are pleased with their results. They show | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
overall crime down by 3%, antisocial behaviour down by 14, and a decline | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
in vile bins more than 9%. I'm `` in violence. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
I'm delighted with this report. It just shows that the leanest funded | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
force in the country can continue to produce results that are, well, | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
let's say, punch well above its weight. The report comes out, of | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
course, just when police figures are being questioned generally for their | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
be a radioscy. The Home Secretary, Theresa May, has written to every | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
police chief in the country to ensure they keep accurate figures. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
But what damage does this do to public confidence, in figures like | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
this? It makes you wonder sometimes. Obviously it needs to be reported | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
more accurately, doesn't it? We encourage our children to talk to | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
policemen because they give you an honest answer. Now you think ` do | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
they or don't they? A bit sceptical. The whole thing has been grossly | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
mishandled. I'm not surprised the public have the wrong idea. All I | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
can do is speak for Lincolnshire and say I'm as confident as it is | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
possible to be that the way that we record and report crime figures is | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
honest and is probust. No questions have been raised about | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
the reliability of Lincolnshire's fillings, but they are still having | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
to restore public confidence and justify their claims. ` | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Lincolnshire's figures. I spoke to the MP, Bernard Jenkin, Chairman of | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
an influential #35r789ry committee that has been looking into the | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
accuracy of crime figures. `` parliamentary committee. I asked | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
them if people in Lincolnshire can trust the figures published today? | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
To a degree, yes. But overall the statistics have been downgraded. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
They are no longer national statistics. Lincolnshire is a good | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
example. The Police and Crime Commissioner doesn't set targets. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
The overwhelming conclusion we have received in evidence, is that it is | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
the targets that distort the figures because the police, with the best | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
will in the world, they are trying to meet the targets, not record the | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
crimes. If you don't have any targets, Lincolnshire can't fail | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
because they are not saying what they are going to do. The targets | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
should not be the criteria for success or failure. The question is | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
how safe the population feels and whether the overall crime survey | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
figures, a different measure of crime, is going down. Do some police | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
forces massage figures, or have they done so? Massage is probably too | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
strong a word. The problem we have, is after decades of target`driven | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
behaviour in police force, there is a habit amongst, you know, the desk | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
sergeant punching the numbers into his computer ` oh, I think I'll make | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
this a criminal damage, not an attempted robbery or I think we'll | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
put this mobile phone down as "lost" rather than "stolen", to make the | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
figures look better. It was part of the team effort to present a good | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
face. Obviously that's in the what what we want. Changing that | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
behaviour in some police force also take a long time. Is the way that | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
crime is recorded at the moment, is it clear enough and good enough and | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
can we always trust what the police say? | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
Well, what we need is more auditing of crime, recorded crime figures, so | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
that there is a more checking up, more policing of the system but | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
also, to encourage police ` and this is a real challenge for leadership ` | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
to put the values of their policing service above whatever targets there | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
might be. To put the integrity and honesty and the behaviour of police | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
officers above the achievement of any targets for this crime or that | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
kind of crime. Very good to talk to you, Mr Jenkin. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Thank you very much. Your thoughts on this: Do you trust | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
the crime figures when they are published. Are targets important or | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
do they encourage manipulation of crime records? Do you trust what you | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
have heard of figures. If you want to be in touch, you can e`mail, or | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
text us. Now, in a moment on tonight's | :06:21. | :06:37. | |
programme: The inquest into the death of a Red Arrows pilot hears | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
evidence from evector seat experts. Force Protestors who ambushed a coal | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
train on its way to Drax Power Station near Goole have had their | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
convictions quashed by the Court of Appeal. The 29 activists were | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
cleared because an undercover policeman's involvement in the | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
protest was kept secret. They're now calling for a public inquiry into | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
undercover police work. Jake Zuckerman has more. | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Result is that the convictions are all quashed. The moment a judge at | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
the Court of Appeal overturned the convictions of 29 environmental | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
protesters. Outside they gave their reaction. We just feel really | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
pleased to have been able to continue to shine a light on the | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
underhand tactics of undercover police officers in solidarity with | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
other individuals and groups that have actually suffered far, far | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
greater miscarriages of justice. In 2008, protesters ambushed a train | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
carrying coal to Drax Power Station near Goole. 29 were later convicted | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
of obstructing railway engines and were given either a conditional | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
discharge or community service but what they didn't know at the time | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
was that their convictions depended on the secret evidence of Mark | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Kennedy an undercover police officer who infiltrated their group. Today | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
the Appeal Court threw out their convictions because the protesters | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
should have been told about his involvement. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Paul was one of those cleared but he remains concerned about the use of | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
undercover policing. Undercover policing is being used to support | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
operations and support the police and support the status quo rather | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
nan protecting citizens from violence and such like. We are | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
calling for a public inquiry where we get all this out in the open. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Mark Kennedy drove the activists to the protests before tipping off | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
transport police. If protesters had known he was a policeman, they could | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
have argued he'd led them to it and it was because they never had that | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
opportunity that the Appeal Court quashed their convictions. | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
It was West Yorkshire Police who authorised the use of the undercover | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
police officer and in a at the same time tonight it said, "We will look | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
at today's judgment in detail before deciding if any action is needed." | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
An undertaker from Scunthorpe has appealed to the Prime Minister to | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
ensure that war veterans without close family aren't given "paupers" | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
funerals. It comes after Sue McLane was asked to cremate a 90`year`old | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
ex`serviceman, while all his possessions, including his medals, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
would have been thrown in a skip. She says she wants the Government to | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
pay for those who served the country to get a proper send`off. | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
For ten years, Michael Clarke was a Royal Marine. He died in a care home | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
with no immediate family. His friend barksy Armstrong, was told Michael | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
would be given a basic council`funded funeral and that all | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
his possessions would be thrown away. I said ` what happens then? | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
They said, question get a skip and teleeverything and we deal with the | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
funeral. It just didn't seem right. You can't treat a man like that. You | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
wouldn't treat an animal like that. It shouldn't happen ever again. And | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
funeral director Sue Maclean awith the report of bare and the Royal | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
British Legion, she organised Michael Clarke's funeral in | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Scunthorpe. They arranged for more than 160 soldiers to come to pay | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
their last respect We had the Piper Piping Men and a bugler play the | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
Last Post for me that's the way every serviceman and woman should | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
have their final journey. We have had Prime Ministers say how proud | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
they are of their soldiers. They gave their yesterdays for our | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
tomorrows. We owe it to them. It is not the first time ex`servicemen | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
have been honoured by people they never knew. Last year hundreds of | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
people attended the funeral of world World War Two veteran Harold | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
Percival. Now an MP is backing the campaign to ensure former soldiers | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
without families are honoured. It is important that we have people like | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Sue Maclean, willing to champion these issues, so that we can ` you | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
know I have written to the Prime Minister, I have written to the | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Royal British Legion to see what sort of response we can get from | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
them to address this issue. Sue Maclean has now started a | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
petition, calling on the Prime Minister to take her idea on board. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
We asked the Government about Sue's campaign. It says it remains the | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
legal duty of local councils to provide a burial when that person | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
can't provide for themselves. But there should be consideration, | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
especially when that person has served their country. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Sue's now displaying Michael Clarke's medals, that she saved from | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
the skip. But she wants change so no soldier without a family is | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
forgotten. It raises an interesting debate. | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
Anne`Marie Tasker joins me now. Is there any chance of the government | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
agreeing to fund the funerals of ex servicemen? As he explained in the | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
report, it is the council's responsibility to pay for fun radios | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
like this. But should they consider it in the future it would raise | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
issues like, for example, for 15 years nearly every man in this | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
country did national service, that poses the question ` would all of | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
those countes a ex`servicemen. When I spoke to the Royal British Legion | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
today they said at the moment, at least, it is very rare that there is | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
an ex`serviceman who dies who has no immediate family. We will throw this | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
open as well. Do you think ex`service personnel should have | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
military funeral paid for by the state or is it asking too much from | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
the tax payer? If you want to comment on this, you can e`mail in: | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
Police say they're now treating the death of a man in Lincolnshire as | :12:31. | :12:43. | |
murder. The body of twenty four`year`old Evans Zanovich was | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
found at his home on Etherington Street in Gainsborough last Friday. | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
Police say a fire at his house was deliberately started. | :12:51. | :12:51. | |
Managers at the world's leading manufacturer of ejector seats have | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
been giving evidence at the inquest into the death of a Red Arrows | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
pilot. Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham died when the seat in his | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
Hawk jet fired as he prepared to take off and the parachute failed to | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
deploy. Many of the questions in the inquest | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
are about a nut and bolt like this one. They attached to a shackle like | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
this, which holds the parachute in place until it's needed but when | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
Flight Lieu ten act Sean Cunningham's seat activated when he | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
was on the ground, his parachute did not release. The seat manufacturer | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
carried out tests after he died. Nicholas Moss, the QC for the | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
Ministry of Defence asked why the equipment used in those tests were | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
new, even though those used on Sean Cunningham's seats were not new. | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
Steven Ru if, f said they used the equipment they had in store. He said | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
they were carried out in good faith. It was fact`finding, not to point | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
blame. Yesterday the inquest heard that Martin Baker hadn't told the | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
MoD about a potential problem with the nut and bolt dating back to the | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
1990s. Sean Cunningham's parents have been a regular presence in the | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
core beer's court. Before he left the room one of the witnesses from | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
Martin Baker passed on the company's condolences. The inquest is set to | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
continue on Thursday. Jessica is in Lincoln at the moment. What has been | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
said today about the training given to those using the ejector seats? | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
Well, much has been made today about the amount of detail given to | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
engineers about exactly how to maintain those ejection seats | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
without causing damage it the nut and bolt you saw earlier. It's | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
emerged during the inquest that the same information was not given to | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
ever are I air or even used by Martin Baker and the RAF themselves. | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
However one Martin Baker employee said they had been using this | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
particular neck nichl for years before Sean Cunningham died and he | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
described it as an unexpected and single rogue event. We will follow | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
that and continue to do so. Thank you for watching. It is | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
6.43pm. Still ahead: A call for tighter regulation as | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
wolf`like dogs become the latous status`breed to be bane donned. `` | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
the latest. And why this herd of deer are | :15:23. | :15:28. | |

Keep your photographs coming N tonight is of Cleethorpes beach. | :15:34. | :15:39. | |

Dp We got on to the subject of bent bargains last night. I can't | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
I "I found two of Paul's books for but | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
like everyone else, I wasn'ted tempted by the offer." A | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
best`selling author for 50p, come on. | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
I'm devastated. In your dreams. | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
Now look at the headlines for the next 24 hours. Unsettled. Quite a | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
bit of rain around in the morning T does improve slowly through tomorrow | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
afternoon. Hopefully it does brighten up. This weather front | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
making slow progress, it eventually clears, with showers spreading in | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
from the west through Thursday. More rain by the end of Friday. So as I | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
say looking unsettled. Many of us have been stuck in fog, particularly | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
across Lincolnshire. The current temperature at Waddington lifted up | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
to 2 degrees as the fog now is lifting but it has been a cold, day | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
grey. It is chilly this evening, a touch of ground frost but the wind | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
will continue to increase, as the rain eventually pushes in from the | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
west. After midnight for most of us, but it looks as they it'll be a | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
fairly wet second half to tonight. Lowest temperatures around now, one | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
or two Celsius. The sun will rise just after 8.00am | :16:55. | :17:10. | |
tomorrow: A miserable, cold, cloudy, wet, dank morning across all parts | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
with outbreaks of rain. Persistent rain at that. It'll slowly edge out. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Not clearing the coast until early afternoon. Hopefully brideness | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
spreading in from the west. Tomorrow morning looks dreadful with a | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
moderate south or south`east wind. Temperatures eventually up to six, | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
probably seven. But certainly for much of the morning it'll feel | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
pretty cold. Looking further ahead. A showery day on Thursday, sunny | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
intervals, scattered showers. Friday, a bright morning, it clouds | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
over with rain towards the end fted day. The weekend increasingly windy, | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
with a risk of more rain. Peter, that's the forecast. #7 | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
Best`selling author. I can't believe you said that. I remember you rang | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
me up last year saying you got five barbecues for ?1. | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
I think 50 pction is pushing that book. | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
Aer North Lincolnshire dogs home say they have seen a large number of | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
wolf`like dogs, particularly huskies, made fashionable by films | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
like Twilight, bane donned. It is claimed that breeders are cashing in | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
on this late etc status symbol dog and selling the puppies. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
This is Loki. His owner couldn't look after him any more so. Home for | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
now is this dog rescue centre in Brigg. Huskies and crosses with | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
malamute. Lots of people are ringing up asking us to take them. We don't | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
have the space. We see them coming n when they hit at lessens and stop | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
being so pretty and need to run. That's what they are breed to do, | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
pulling sleds over long distances as seen here at the annual UK sled dog | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
races in Scotland but the dogs trust has seen a 61% rise in these breeds | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
being abandoned I think it is a slit fashion thing and #23i678s like | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
Twilight have made them popular. There is no getting a I way from the | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
fact that they are good`looking dogs and they are nice, people need to do | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
a lot of research before taking that responsibility on. | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
It is scenes like this, Jacob Black's half`man half`wolf character | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
in Twilight, blamed in part for the trend. A decade ago you had to go on | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
a it with aing list to get a husky or malamute in the UK now, throw, | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
animal welfare chaurts warn you can go online, and get it delivered to | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
your door that day. Further north, Kay has four huge and energetic | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
malamutes. She is a Kennel Club`assured breeder and wants | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
tighter breeders. We have people ring up and say ` would a malamute | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
sit in the front seat of my sports car. No is the quick answer to that. | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
There seems to be a continual churning out of puppies, three, | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
four, litters a year without thought for their futures. Back at the dogs' | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
home, Loki has been looking for two months now for the right owner with | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
the time and energy to look after him. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
The MP for Grimsby has written to Channel 4 asking them to ` not to | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
film a new series of Skint in the town. The broadcaster has confirmed | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
it is carrying out research in Grimsby but Austin Mitchell says he | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
is worried the show will only demonise the poor. Last year it | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
caused caused controversy over its portrayal of Westcliffe estate in | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
Grimsby. From the 3rd February, driving tests | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
will be taken place at the Craven Park Training and Enterprise Centre. | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
There is criticism of plans for a new Kew on the Humber that would | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
stop the building of a new energy park. Ai'l UK has been granted | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
permission to develop the line but the association of British ports has | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
aplayed to build a quay on the site and the council say that would | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
scupper the creation of thousands of jobs. Thanks to everyone who got in | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
touch about the worries about fracking and the industry from a | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
leading engineer we talked to last night. Hundreds of gas exploration | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
licences are already in place already in Yorkshire and | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Lincolnshire, Mike Hill worked on the fracking rig which caused a | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
minor earthquake in Blackpool. He says that although underground | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
monitoring would take place there, there are other dangers, including | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
to the water supply. We were talking to Mike last night on the programme. | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
After that, again, second time we talked about fracking in a couple of | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
weeks, a big response, just a few. Simon says: It's all well and good | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
giving councils extra money: Thank you very much indeed for all | :22:04. | :22:39. | |
of those. Hull Kingston Rovers say they are | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
hoping for a big crowd for their gym against Hull FC this weekend. The | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
club's new stand will be open for Sunday's derby which will act as | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
preparation for the Super League season which starts next month. | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
Any game is Rugby League is anything but a friendly, I suppose. Being | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
Hull FC, adds a little bit of spice, I suppose but we are going to use | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
all 28 players from our young ones to our eldest, they will all be | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
given a chance to show what they've got. The East Yorkshire`based tennis | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
player, Kyle Edmund has been named in the Great Britain Davis Cup squad | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
which will face the United States later this month. The teenager from | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
Tickton near Beverly has been brought into the squad ahead of the | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
British number two, Dan Evans, in spite of being ranked more than 200 | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
places below him. Selectors say he has more experience of playing on | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
the clay. Well done to Kyle. | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
After their game at Braintree on Saturday, was postponed because of a | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
water`logged pitch. Lincoln City play at Macclesfield tonight. BBC | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
Radio Lincolnshire has commentary of the game. The build`up starts from | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
7.00pm. By the way, BBC Sport relief is only | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
two months away. We are all being encouraged to take part. This year's | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
event will feature, cycling, running and swimming as a way of raising | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
money for good causes in this country and overseas. If you want it | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
get involved in Sport Relief this year, you can find out what is | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
happening by going to the website and looking there. The address is on | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
the screen: Now nature lovers in North Lincolnshire have been | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
attracted to the grounds of a stately home in the area by a rare | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
sight. Normanby Hall's herd of deer are already popular, of course, but | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
it's two unusual members of the group that have been bringing in the | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
extra visitors. Among friends near Scunthorpe, but | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
noticeably different to his fellow fallow deer. This is a rare glimpse | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
of the two white deer that now call Normanby Hall country park their | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
home. They are just one end of the range | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
of fallow deer. You get the fallow deer, traditional and brown with the | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
white spots, right through to the pale ones which look almost white | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
which is what we have got and then they go through to the dark, almost | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
black colour. They pop in other places, I konted say how many as a | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
percentage but not too common. The first white deer was born here five | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
years ago, the youngest is now 18 months old. It is possible that the | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
first white deer to appear here may have been purely down to genetics | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
due to two brown deer. But it is also known that there was a white | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
male deer living on community woodland adjacent to the park. It is | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
possible that he found his way in here and then made his escape. They | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
are sometimes referred to as Judas deer because they can make their | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
fell yes herd easier to spot by hunters. Although, being such emit I | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
had animals, visitors have little chance it getting up close. I have | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
not seen the white deer but there are quite a few deer around, so I | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
have quite enjoyed watching them. We are going to go and have a look it | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
see if we can see them. I think they might be down near the pond. A load | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
of food can help but there is no special treatment from Wendy on her | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
daily rounds be they white deer, red deer or fallow deer. We are not too | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
fussed about the colour, as long as they are healthy. | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
Now, the time is 6.55pm. The main headlines tonight: New claims that | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
you thousands of prisoners were scarf starved, beaten and executed | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
by Government forces in Syria and Lincolnshire police's Commissioner | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
defends the falling crime rate, while other forces are accused of | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
putting targets first It's the targets that dis`Stott the figures. | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
The police, with the best will in the world, they are trying to meet | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
the tafrgts, not record the crime. Bernard general tin on the programme | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
tonight. Wednesday whether. Cloudy and cold with outbreaks of rain in | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
the morning, dry and brighter in the afternoon. Top temperatures at best, | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
around 7. 7 is 45 Fahrenheit. The response on the subject of skriem | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
figures. Thank you for all the messages. A big response. Sarah has | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
tweeted ` why should crime figures matter? Surely for the important | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
thing is for the police to do their jobs successfully and deal with the | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
indents. Bob says ` people don't bother about reporting crime. | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Nothing gets done. I have seen unreported crimes with no response | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
from the police. I don't bother any more. Less says ` it is how safe we | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
feel, not what the figures might pour tra. At the moment there is | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
probably too much fear and we need the police to make us feel safer. | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
This is an interesting one, anonymous. : I recently retired as a | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
police sergeant. For balance, I would point out that often I had to | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
educate officers who had recorded a crime when the circumstances did not | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
amount to a crime in law. Interesting. Join me tomorrow lunch | :27:40. | :27:47. | |
time as usual. Good evening. See you tomorrow, take care. Good night. | :27:48. | :27:53. |
