independent Scotland. That is all from the News at six, so it is time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
to One, we now join the BBC's news | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
teams where Good evening and welcome to BBC Look | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
North. The headlines tonight. "Pointless and avoidable" ` the | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
family of Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham speak out after the | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
inquest into his death. The tragedy was preventable. We want to endure | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
no family has to endure such a pointless death. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Both the RAF and the company who made the ejection seat are | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
criticised for their role in the death of the Red Arrows pilot. We | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
have made and will continue to make every effort to make sure such a | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
tragic accident could never happen again. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Also tonight: Health experts welcome a proposed ban on smoking in cars | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
where children are present. It's announced the Queen's Baton | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
will come to Hull on its way to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
Another dreary day tomorrow. The very latest five`day forecast | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
follows shortly. "Pointless and avoidable." The words | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham's parents have used to describe his | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
death. Today saw the end of a three`week inquest into how the Red | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Arrow's pilot died when his ejection seat went off at RAF Scapmton in | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
2011. Today the coroner said Sean Cunnigham's death was preventable, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
reserving particular criticism for the company which made the ejection | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
seat and the Ministry of Defence. Caroline Bilton was at the inquest | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
in Lincoln today. Caroline, how significant were the findings? | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
Well, Peter, he said no stone would be left unturned at the start of | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
this inquest. All parties in this case were scrutinised. Today, we | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
learned that mistakes were made. There were failures on many | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
different levels. It was a job he loved, but it | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
ultimately cost him his life. Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham died | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
after his ejector seat went off during routine checks on the ground | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
at RAF Scampton in 2011. At the inquest into his death, it was | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
revealed the accident could have been prevented. His family have been | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
coming here every day for three weeks to get the answers there have | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
been searching for for two years. That weight had taken its toll when | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
it came to giving their reaction today. Sean was blameless. Excuse | :02:36. | :02:49. | |
me. His tragic death was preventable. We still find it | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
difficult to accept so many people could have missed what should have | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
been obvious to those having a duty to ensure the safety of the seat. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
The inquest heard about concerns over pressure timetable. | :03:05. | :03:35. | |
Had his parachute worked, he would still be alive. | :03:36. | :03:49. | |
Other foreign forces were informed, but not the RAF. In relation to the | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
19 missed opportunities to notice the handle was not unsafe, the | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
coroner said: we have made, and will continue to | :04:00. | :04:25. | |
make, every effort to make sure such a tragic accident never happens | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
again. With regards to this nut and bolt and Martin Baker's failure to | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
notify the MoD of potential risks of over signing, Stuart Fisher said | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
there was a very serious failure of communication by Martin Baker. | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
The Red Arrows training session was given today in Sean pot`macro on. | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
Business has resumed here. The family hope lessons learned from the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
death of their son mean these men and women are safer in the country | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
`` in the future. What changes have there been since | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
Sean's death? Martin Baker did not respond in a statement today to the | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
criticism of their failure to communicate. The coroner in tents to | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
write to the company about that issue. They have redesigned and | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
developed a new type of bolt and firing handle, and they will be | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
fitted and operational by the end of the year. The coroner will also | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
write to the RAF. He says he still has concerns about the ongoing | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
safety of the handle. HSE is still investigating this case and there | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
could be a prosecution. Earlier I spoke to Andrew Brookes, a former | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
RAF pilot specialising in flight safety, and asked him what he makes | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
of the coroner's conclusions today. It is a sorry tale. He has | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
highlighted the errors and omissions, and pointed the finger, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
and at the end of the day it is a sad indictment. It was unavoidable | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
accident, but at the end of the day, somebody had to be dragged. The | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
ejection seat makers have been heavily criticised. They describe | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
the ejection seat is entirely useless. The handle had been | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
misaligned. The safety pin was not doing its job. Why was it | :06:30. | :06:42. | |
misaligned? Sean had something to do with it, his ground crew had | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
something to do with not seeing it there is a link in this chain. It is | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
so sad and so avoidable. The parachute didn't apply because | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
somebody did not tighten it properly. You are a former pilot. | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
How is seriously are the checks taken? Very. He would have checked | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
it. He did not notice the problem. The ground crews checked it. It is a | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
sophisticated piece of equipment. Everybody checks it. Is it safer now | :07:28. | :07:46. | |
being a pilot? You can take it from the ever will make sure this never | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
happens again. Everything has been done to stop it from happening | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
again. The only things I take from it is these things are so rare. This | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
wonderful piece of life`saving equipment is still there for the air | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
forces of the world, to keep them safe. Good to talk to you. Thank you | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
for your time. Health experts from East Yorkshire | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
say they would welcome a ban on smoking in cars where children are | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
present. It's claimed that passengers are 17 times more likely | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
to be affected by smoke inhalation in a car than they would be at home. | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
The Labour proposal has been debated in the House of Lords today, but one | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Conservative peer from our area says the ban would be difficult to | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
enforce. More from Tim Iredale. Are children being put at | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
unnecessary risk of harm by the effects of second hand smoke when | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
travelling in a car? Rebecca is a senior stop smoking specialist who | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
works with pregnant women and their families in Hull and East Riding. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
She says many drivers are unaware of the dangers. Our advice to people | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
would be to not do it at all when children are in the car. It can be | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
up to 17 times more concentrated than in any other area. Not many | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
people smoke in their homes because they realise the dangers of passive | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
smoking. It is just getting people to realise that so applies to in the | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
car. Of course, in the past few years, people have been banned from | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
lighting up imports, clubs, restaurants and other enclosed | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
spaces. How do smokers in Hull feel about being banned from lighting up | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
in their cars? You are smokers. To think it should be banned in cars? | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
It would make any difference to me a lot of people. My sister`in`law 's | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
most with her kit in the car. We refused to let our children got in | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
the car for that reason, so I would welcome it. Can't smoking cafes, | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
can't smoke in shop, so car is a warm place to smoke and it is our | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
property. Why shouldn't we? Labour want to ban smoking in cars | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
where children are present ` a move which was debated today in the House | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
of Lords. But one member from our area claims a ban could difficult to | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
enforce. There is a view this as an extension of the nanny state and it | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
is not up to the state to tell people. It is different from getting | :10:25. | :10:39. | |
drivers to wear seat belts. This is people having an affect on third | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
parties, children. The Government hasn't ruled out a | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
ban on smoking in cars where where children are passengers. The Prime | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Minister has said he want to listen to the arguments. | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
We want your views on this. Should smoking be banned in cars where | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
children are passengers? Or is this a step too far and could the law be | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
enforced? Almost ?15 million of Government | :11:02. | :11:22. | |
money has been secured for a new energy park in North Lincolnshire. | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
The Humber Local Enterprise partnership was one of 12 areas to | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
get the money. Last month, ministers gave Able UK permission for a giant | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
business park for energy companies on the south bank of the Humber. It | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
will employ 4,000 people. Makes it all the more likely this will be | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
good for offshore wind and renewable assembly. This is the energy vestry. | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
15 million will help with construction jobs, looking at the | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
energy supply, creating a quarter of a million square metres, getting the | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
project going. A man's appeared in court charged | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
with murder and robbery following the death of a man in Hull. | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
51`year`old Keith Opray was found dead at his home on Wareham Close in | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
Bransholme on Saturday. 40`year`old Duncan Keith Heaton from Hull was | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
remanded in custody earlier today. Still ahead tonight: New claims a | :12:29. | :12:52. | |
planned renewable energy site could damage the landscape. North Cave | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
Wetlands, by Leigh Gawley. Looks like it is abroad. People have | :12:56. | :13:08. | |
let me know you got a mention in the Daily Mail and the times and where | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
described as a weather expert. First time for everything. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
More importantly, you stole my shirt and tie. | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
I did not. It merges into your head collar and | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
does not work. The headline is unsettled weather. There will be | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
some ice on high`level routes. Tomorrow will be another dreary | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
day. Patchy rain and cloudy. There might be a little bit of sleet. | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
Commands will be small for many. Patchy rain, then we look to the | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
West. Atlantic weather fronts coming in. No letters in this unsettled | :13:53. | :14:04. | |
weather at all. The winds have been coming in from the east. Is there | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
where a few breaks this afternoon, but the cloud will increase. It | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
could thicken. A few flurries of snow possible, mainly over the tops | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
of the walls. Watch out for icy patches. Cloudy tomorrow, dreary and | :14:22. | :14:43. | |
damp. There may be longer outbreaks of rain. This will revert quickly | :14:44. | :14:58. | |
back to rain. Ltd brightness, if any at all. Friday, wind and rain blows | :14:59. | :15:08. | |
sweep in from the west late in the day. | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
Somebody in Driffield said that Paul's eyebrows are invisible | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
because they have been leaked by the sun on too many holidays. See you | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
tomorrow. The latest proposal for a renewable energy scheme off the | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
Lincolnshire coast has been heavily criticised, despite it being much | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
smaller than the original plans. A leading county councillor says the | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
onshore work needed for the Triton Knoll wind farm will 'trash' the | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
countryside. The developer says plans will go through a rigorous | :15:48. | :16:04. | |
public consultation. As is unsure, substations are required and miles | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
of cabling. The developer wants to build this countryside. The idea of | :16:08. | :16:20. | |
this is angering many. We're not going to let people trash the | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
countryside because they want to do it. The proposed turbine field is | :16:24. | :16:39. | |
about 20 miles off the road. The cable will run underground, then | :16:40. | :16:53. | |
south for more than 13 miles. It was recently and now is that the whole | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
project will be smaller. That is cold comfort to local residents. | :16:57. | :17:09. | |
Killing them has a national grid connection point. `` Killingholme. | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
Developers say they are trying to accommodate concerns about the | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
countryside. I feel confident about the way we have gone about this. | :17:24. | :17:38. | |
Once it is working, it is thought that Triton Knoll will develop | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
enough power for 8000 homes. The decision will not be taken by local | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
politicians. Ministers in Whitehall will have the final say. Is that it | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
a process Lincolnshire county council says it will challenge. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
Thanks for the e mails and texts after we told you about the Hull | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
North MP Diana Johnson, who's hoping to limit the locations of lap | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
dancing clubs. A temporary swimming pool which was | :18:09. | :18:44. | |
used by athletes at the London 2012 Olympic Games has been installed in | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
Bridlington. The pool will provide swimming for two years in the town, | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
while the Leisure World complex is closed for a twenty million pound | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
refurbishment. Olympic bronze medallist Jo Jackson, used the pool | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
at the Olympic Park for warming up and training. | :18:59. | :19:10. | |
In Football, Hull City lost 1`0 at Crystal Palace last after conceding | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
a goal in the first half. The Tigers also had goalkeeper Alan Macgregor | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
sent off leaving Steve Bruce unhappy about the decision. He has | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
retaliated. It was no more than a yellow card in my opinion. | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
There was better news for Grimsby Town as they won 2`1 away against | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
promotion rivals Cambridge United. The Mariners are fourth in the | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
Conference Premier. The Olympic Torch relay was a huge | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
success travelling through East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire ahead of | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
the London Games in 2012. It's now hoped that the Queen's baton event | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
will be able to recreate some of that magic. Today it was announced | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
that a relay will take place in England two weeks before the | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
Commonwealth Games in Glasgow ` and it's coming to Hull. Leanne Brown | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
has more. No`one knows what it says, but in | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
October last year the Queen put a message in the Commonwealth Baton. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Since then it's been travelling around the world and will visit 70 | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
countries before returning back to the uk ahead of the Commonwealth | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
Games in Glasgow. At a knitting club in Hull today, 91`year`old Jean | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Bishop ` who ran with the Olympic Torch ` welcomed the news it was | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
coming to Hull. I think it is lovely. It is something different, | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
for a change. I am looking forward to it. Do you fancy carrying it | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
yourself? Oh, yes, I am in for anything. Definitely. It would be | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
lovely to have it all again. I often wish I could have it again. Little | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
things I felt I did wrong, I could Freeview it. `` I could do it again. | :21:07. | :21:16. | |
It is my pleasure to declare the 17 Commonwealth Games open. | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
Once the batton has finished its tour, the Queen will then read out | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
her message, like she did at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester. | :21:24. | :21:36. | |
Dame Kelly Holmes is a Commonwealth Gold medallist from those games | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
which Leanne mentioned in her report there It was in Manchester in 2002 | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
that she took Gold in the fifteen hundred Metres. Two years later she | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
won two Olympic golds in Beijing. She's a big supporter of the | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Commonwealth Baton, and a little earlier I asked her whether the | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
baton will capture the imagination like the Olympic Torch did two years | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
ago. You I think what is important to get across is that the Queens | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
battened relay is different from the torch. The relay means it is going | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
round 17 nations in total. When it comes to Great Britain and England | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
in particular, we are going around 15 locations. What is different is | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
we can pick the location. As you said, we are in Hull. We are trying | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
to get people to come to those events. We want people to celebrate | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
sport. It is fantastic for Hull. I wonder | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
what is written in the pattern for the Queen. You are so important, you | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
probably know. That is a good one. I am sure we will all find out. It is | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
a lovely baton. We really want to support team England. England have | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
some incredible sports people. We won the public behind it. Great to | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
chat with you. I met you last time you will in Hull in 2006, but I | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
expect you have forgotten. No. I got a doctorate at the University. I was | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
very grateful for that. All dressed up in your robes. You look exactly | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
the same. I wish I could say the same about me. Very good to talk to | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
you. Have a good evening. Thank you. | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines The governor | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
of the Bank of England says sharing the pound could work if Scotland | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
votes for independence, but the new authority would have to give up some | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
powers. Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham's | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
parents say his death was "pointless and avoidable" at the end of his | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
inquest. Will talk about smoking in cars. The | :23:54. | :24:20. | |
Lords has voted for a ban on people smoking in cars carrying children. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
The government will have to consider what to do next. Big response. | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Lorraine says, trying to ban smoking in your car is not only ridiculous | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
but unenforceable. It is your own private space. Who do these people | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
think they are? Big Brother gone mad. Mitch said, surely it is a good | :24:39. | :24:48. | |
idea for any driver. It is selfish. Gary says, of course it should, I | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
think it will be widely welcomed, but how can it be policed? Graham | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
says, surely common sense should prevail and the child's health be | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
paramount. Parents should not contemplate smoking anywhere near | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
them. Thank you for watching for. Good night. | :25:15. | :25:34. | |
