and Thursday. That's | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Good evening, and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Jailed for 17 years ` the tdenager who stabbed his grandparents while | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
high on drugs. His father says he's distratght I | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
feel sick, physically sick, and I can't believe it. In the end. | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Three months after the tidal surge, a warning farmers could miss out on | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Government help for flood vhctims. In December, these fields wdre under | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
water ` but farmers can't claim compensation if they've alrdady | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
repaired the damage. Gravity scoops seven awards at the | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Oscars ` including one for ` sound engineer from East Yorkshird. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Settling in their new home ` the gentoo penguins have arrived at the | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Deep. You won't really get ` chance to see them in the wild, so really, | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
this is just a good experience. On whether come. That forecast is | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
shortly. `` a lot of weather to come. | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
A judge has described it as a ferocious and determined attack and | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
tonight, a Hull teenager has begun a 17 `year jail sentence for the | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
murder of his grandmother and attempted murder of his grandfather | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
while high on drugs. Last month Lewis Dale was found guilty of | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
stabbing them both while thdy slept. Sentencing him today, the jtdge said | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
he understood the human tragedy for the family, but added he had a | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
public duty to perform. In ` moment, we'll hear from Lewis Dale's father, | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
but first, this report from Emma Massey. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
It was here in April last ydar where this tragedy for the Dale f`mily | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
began. Lewis Dale was staying with his grandparents in East Hull while | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
on bail for an alleged assatlt when he attacked them during the night | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
with kitchen knives. He'd bden taking MCAT in the hours before | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Last month, his father left the court knowing his son would face a | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
lengthy prison term for the murder of his grandmother and the `ttempted | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
murder of his grandfather, who agreed to talk to us at the time. We | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
were a close`knit family. Wd always were and we always will be. He's my | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
first grandson, and you nevdr know what's around the corner, which I | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
didn't. Today, Dale was sentenced to a minimum of 17 years. Absolutely | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
horrendous. I feel sick, phxsically sick, and I can't believe it. I | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
can't believe it. I'm just so, so sad. In sentencing Dale, Judge | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Jeremy Richardson addressed him directly. He said it was, "@ | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
ferocious and determined attack with a knife upon an elderly, | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
defenceless, married couple ` your grandparents. You did so because you | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
had voluntarily taken the illegal and dangerous drug, MCAT." The | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
official name for the drug hs mephedrone. It has gained qtite a | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
following among teenagers. Ht is a synthetic drug which was once a | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
legal high, but headteachers led a campaign to get it banned bdcause it | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
was so widespread. In 2010, the Government made it illegal, and it | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
became a class B drug. But ht can still be bought for around ?10 a | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
gram. This morning, the judge has quite rightly given a subst`ntial | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
minimum sentence to Lewis D`le. The last year has been a very dhfficult | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
time for the Dale family. Hopefully this will now draw a line under the | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
matter, and they can start to move forward and rebuild their lhves | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
Thank you. The judge today stressed he was not unmindful of the human | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
tragedy for the family and the defendant. He also said he felt for | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
them in every way, but added that he had a public duty to perforl. | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Lewis D`le's father, David, and asked hil for his | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
reaction to today's verdict. I asked him how his son was feeling. I spoke | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
to him. He is devastated, hd's crying, he's in total shock, as I | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
am. But you are standing by him Yes, I am, yes. Your son killed his | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
grandmother, your mum. How do you feel towards him? He's my son and I | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
love him, and I will always stand by him. This was not my son, it was the | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
drug MCAT. How do you cope with losing your own mother by the hands | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
of your son? Because I was very close to my mother, and I could talk | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
to her about anything. She was very understanding. She loved her | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
grandson, and if I'm honest, Peter, I'm trying to do one thing `t a | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
time, you know? But you've lost your own mother? Yeah, I know. And it's | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
difficult, because as I say, I was very close to my mother and she was | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
very close to her grandson. It may be harsh, but he was convicted of | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
murder. Is drugs and MCAT an excuse? No. No, the MCAT did this. Lewis | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
could never do this to his grandparents, never, never. But he | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
did do it. He did do it, but wasn't him who did it, it was the drug | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Still convicted of murder? Xes, convicted by the jury, yes. What | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
about those watching, and there will be many, who will say ` and I'm not | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
being rude to you ` "He was just another druggie"? He wasn't a | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
druggie. No, he wasn't. But he was a druggie. No, he wasn't. And he | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
wasn't a heavy user either. He was a binge... MCAT is a binge drtg. What | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
is your message for youngstdrs who are taking this drug? Don't take it. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Don't go anywhere near it, `nd if somebody is trying to sell xou it, | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
then tell your parents. Just stay away from it, because it's ruined | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
our family, and it's ruined my life. Ruined your life? Ruined my life. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
I'm doing 16, 17 years with my son. Will he get out before that? No No. | :06:09. | :06:18. | |
How is he now? Is he full of sorrow? He has always been full of sorrow. I | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
see him every week, and I don't think he honestly knows what | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
happened even to this day. He doesn't understand what is | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
happening. And how are you? Shocking. Absolutely shocking. I | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
don't do anything normally. There is no life for me anymore, to be | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
honest. Your life is over? Ly life is over. I wish you well. Thank you | :06:43. | :06:52. | |
for coming in. Thank you. In a moment: Alan Pardew is charged | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
by the FA after head`butting Hull City's David Meyler. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Farmers in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire say they could miss out | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
on a share of ?10 million of Government money to help flood | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
victims. The cash has been set aside to repair agricultural land ` but | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
it's only available if repahr work has not yet been started. The NFU | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
says that penalises farmers who were flooded in December. Phillip Norton | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
reports. December's tidal surge left large | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
areas of agricultural land submerged under water. These were Petdr | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Clappisons's fields in Welwhck, East Yorkshire. The Humber swept away | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
defences. Three months later, and this is the damage it caused. The | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
bank, which you can see in the distance, this section coll`psed. | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
You could walk into the Humber. Loads of wood has washed in. He s | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
one of many farmers who shotld now be looking out over a field of | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
sprouting crops, but it's unlikely he'll be able to harvest much from | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
the damaged land this year. He's already paid out for soil tdsts to | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
see the extent of the salt damage, and was one of many farmers who were | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
pleased to hear a Government fund had been set up to aid their | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
recovery ` but he won't be dligible to claim because he's already | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
carried out the work. It is only for people who are still flooded. I | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
won't be eligible. But it is just a drop in the ocean to the dalage that | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
has been done. It is a nonevent as far as I'm concerned. A sum of 10 | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
million has been made avail`ble Farmers affected by flooding will be | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
able to apply for emergency funding up to ?5,000, but it's only | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
available to those who have not yet started work on repairs. Thdy have | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
already suffered horrendous expenses, so they should be entitled | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
to this money, even if they have already started the work. Wd are | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
working closely with the Environment Agency, and we hope we will get some | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
funding back to the farmers who have already started work. We do think it | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
is unfair. It's raised concdrn that the South will benefit much more | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
over people in the North whdn it comes to flood help ` something | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Brigg and Goole MP Andrew Pdrcy says should be looked at. They whll be | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
farmers around the country, north and South, who were flooded in | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
December who have come against these rules. It has happened more by | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
accident than design, so we just have to get some flexibilitx into | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
the system. Defra says it acknowledges that some repahrs will | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
have already been made, and says it will work with farmers to assess if | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
other funds are available. Phil's in East Yorkshire thhs | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
evening. How much money are we talking about? A few weeks `go, I | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
would have been knee deep in water in this field, close to the Humber | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
estuary. What had been taken of the land. That took some work. One is to | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
Yorkshire Thelma Todd as he spent ?600,000 on machinery and ptbs to | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
help clear this water away from some of his land. Another farmer says he | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
won't be able to claim compdnsation. He is among those who say that the | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
?10 million of government money on the table is just a drop in the | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
ocean compared to the devastating damage they say has been catsed to | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
agricultural land across thd country in these devastating storms. Thank | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
you very much. Let us know what you think `bout | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
this story. Are the Governmdnt being fair to farmers in East Yorkshire | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
and Lincolnshire who may have already started their repair work? | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Should the farmers have waited for proper permissions from the | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
Government before starting their work? Maybe you are a farmer | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
watching tonight. Get in totch. If you are a farmer or have a view, | :10:37. | :11:01. | |
we look forward to hearing from you. Some news now. | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
The family of a Lincolnshird man who died after an operation for prostate | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
cancer have attended an inqtest into his death. Ray Law died two days | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
after surgery at Lincoln Cotnty Hospital in 2010. His consultant, Mr | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Ian Mark, admitted his was the third of three operations he'd conducted | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
that day, which he said was not normal. He also raised concdrns | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
about the time it took for Lr Law to receive a blood transfusion on the | :11:22. | :11:32. | |
day after surgery. Police are appealing for witnesses aftdr a | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
pedestrian was killed on a lain road in Lincolnshire. Police say the man, | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
thought to be in his 30s, w`s walking along the A16 after | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
midnight. They are keen to speak to anyone who saw a silver Jeep in the | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
area on Saturday night. The rail passenger group is condemning a | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
decision to transfer trains from the rail line between Hull and Leeds and | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Manchester to rats in the south`east. Nine of the trahns are | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
to be switched to Chilton r`il, based in London and the south`east. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
The rail companies say they are negotiating with the Departlent for | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Transport to maintain capachty and timetabling improvements. Boris | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
Johnson is doing a really great job with London, making sure thdy have a | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
lot of trains. He doesn't nded ours. He's very good at getting what he | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
wants, isn't he? So, no, thdy shouldn't poach our trains `t all. | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Everybody will be squashed tp, and obviously I want the best sdrvice. | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
We are quite capable of building more wagons ourselves, so why don't | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
we do it? We pay for it. Interesting story. Thank you for watching. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
Still ahead tonight: A sound editor from East Yorkshire wins an Oscar | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
for his work on the most successful film of the night. We have come a | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
view `` long way. It was am`zing just hear the words GRAVITY. | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
We also have the Penguins still to come before 7pm. The! Not you! | :13:00. | :13:15. | |
This picture was taken by Pdrry No more e`mails asking for Paul to be | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
seen in his a concerned viewer asks whether | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
Peter knows if pensioners nded to receive their driving tests, and is | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
he worried? I think you will find that is offensive, and cert`inly is | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
to me. It looks set to be dry with some sunshine, although thex will be | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
some fog and fast first thing in the morning. Fairly bright across that | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
part of the world. We are stuck between weather systems. Prdssure | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
down to the south`west. One or two to the north. Things are settled for | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
the next couple of days. Th`t is great news, but it does mean some | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
frost and fog at night. We have managed 10 degrees today. Wd have | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
more in the wave cloud across southern part of Lincolnshire. There | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
could be to one or more isolated showers this evening. Very luch the | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
exception to dry rule. Many of us will be dry this evening, and | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
overnight. A lot of clear pdriods with the lowest temperatures down to | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
zero or `1 in rural areas. That will lead to fog, and fairly widdspread | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
frost. Watch out for ice patches on untreated surfaces. The sun will | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
rise in the morning at around 6:44am. Here are your next high | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
water tides. That fog could be quite stubborn in a few areas. Take a few | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
hours to clear, but it will do so, and then it is dry and bright with | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
some good spells of sunshind. Fairweather, patchy cloud ddveloping | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
later, and a small chance of rain, but a lot of fine weather. The | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
warmth in the spring sunshine, nine Celsius. That is 48 Fahrenhdit. A | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
light breeze from the south and south`west. More fog and frost. | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Wednesday looks lovely, dry with sunshine. By the cloudy on Thursday. | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
Highs of 13 degrees on Frid`y. How about that, Peter? | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Having just listened to the Paul Hudson weather show, I have to say | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
he's songs need to match thd weather prediction. Do you get Island discs | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
on the show? YES, I do. I got myself red`handed. Thank you. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
The manager of Newcastle Unhted has been charged with misconduct by the | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
Football Association followhng an incident against Hull City. Alan | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
Pardew head`butted Tigers' midfielder David Myler, and could | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
face serious sanctions. Our sports reporter, Simon Clark, was `t the | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
game. It is one of the most unsavoury | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
incidents in Premier League history, and it happened in whole. Alan | :16:13. | :16:23. | |
Pardew was pushed. What happened next was disbelieving. Parddw was | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
sent to the back of the stand for head`butting him. Haven't h`d too | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
many problems in the past. Xou get involved with a situation, `nd it | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
took the gloss of what has been a magnificent performance frol my | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
team. It is tarnished him and for them. They have had a great | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
afternoon in terms of the rdsults, which has obviously been let down by | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
the manager's actions. The club was fined ?100,000, and no action will | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
be taken. The FA have chargdd Pardew with improper conduct. He h`s been | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
involved in touchline inciddnt before. A commentator has | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
interviewed him many times. When interviewed him after games, and I | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
have them frequently, he is charming, but he does have this | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
switch that seems to flick when he is in the technical area in the heat | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
of the game. A Premier Leagte manager cannot behave in th`t | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
situation. It's the sort of thing you might see on Sunday morning and | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
the point is, we don't want that at any time. It does not set a good | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
example to anybody. The actions of Pardew glossdd over | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
Hull city's defeat of the sdason, and Aaron Stone's performance saw | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
the visitors come away with a 4`1 victory. That is not how thhs game | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
will be remembered. It is to be remembered for an incident but the | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
manager embarrassed himself and his sport. Scunthorpe United relain | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
second in League Two, despite being held by Newport County. Paddy Madden | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
scored an equaliser for the Iron after the Welsh team took the lead, | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
and Scunthorpe scored again through Dave Syers. Then, just as they | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
thought they'd won the game, Chris Zebroski snatched a draw to deny the | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
Iron victory. Late Kick`off returns tonight with Iron players S`m | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
Winnall and Paul Hayes going head`to`head in a new quiz. That's | :18:18. | :18:32. | |
on BBC One at 11:20. In non`league football, there were wins for | :18:33. | :18:33. | |
Grimsby. Hull FC suffered a second ddfeat of | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
the season at Warrington in a close match. Warrington, in blue, scored | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
all their points in the first half to lead 18`6. But a Hull fight`back | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
fell just short of victory, and it finished 18`16 to the home side | :18:54. | :19:08. | |
A music editor from East Yorkshire has won an Oscar for his work on the | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
space film Gravity. Chris Bdnstead, who grew up in Skirlaugh ne`r Hull, | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
picked up the award in Los @ngeles last night ` one of seven Academy | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
Awards for the film. Speaking after the ceremony, he said winning was a | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
"sensational" feeling, as otr arts and culture correspondent, | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
Anne`Marie Tasker, reports. On a night when Hollywood's A`list | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
were honoured, British cinela took home the lion's share of thd Oscars. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
The space drama Gravity won seven Academy Awards, including one for | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
sound mixing. Explorer has been hit! On the sound team is Chris Benstead, | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
a music editor who grew up hn East Yorkshire, but last night w`s | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
celebrating the film's Oscar success in LA. It's a sensational fdeling. | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
It was absolutely amazing. H was very nervous, actually, bec`use | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
we've come a long way. We'vd been waiting a few days now for the | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
awards, but it was amazing just to hear the word "Gravity". Bedn away | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
from the kids. A lot of latd nights when I wasn't there. But I hope this | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
can make up for that, and m`ke everyone proud from the North as | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
well. It's fantastic. And this is where Chris's music career began, | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
the house where he grew up. His mum and dad have already watched him | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
winning a BAFTA this year, `nd are overwhelmed he has an Oscar to | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
match. The BAFTAs, first ond, and now the Oscars. It's just an amazing | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
couple of weeks. To put it hn Chris's own words, we are all over | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
the moon, pardon the pun. Absolutely fantastic news. He has workdd very | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
hard, very hard, to get to where he is, and the whole family is so proud | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
of him. Mervyn King taught Chris music at South Holderness Tdchnology | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
College, and he says his talent was clear from an early age. From the | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
thousands of students I must have taught in my career, he certainly | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
did stand out. He was very thoughtful and helpful, verx | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
creative. And a bit of a perfectionist, which I'm sure has | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
stood him in good stead in his career now. After the ceremony, the | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
stars moved to the Hollywood parties. Chris said being there ` | :21:16. | :21:26. | |
clutching his Oscar ` was ilmense. Great story. Well done to Chris | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
They've travelled 5,000 milds, and now five gentoo penguins ard making | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
their new home in Hull. The birds were born at an aquarium in Texas | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
and were flown to the UK last month. They'll now form part of a new | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Antarctic exhibition at the Deep. Their journey has been followed by | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
the naturalist Mike Dilger. The latest arrivals at the Deep | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
gentoo penguins, who travelled 000 miles to be here. You won't really | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
get a chance to see them in the wild, so really, this is just a good | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
experience looking at what they would be like in a natural habitat. | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
They are really cool, because when we put up these things, it looks | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
like they are actually a penguin, so they come close to you. Thex are | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
really good and exciting, and when they dive, they go fast. Thdy | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
started life at an aquarium in Galveston, Texas. Moody Gardens | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
stepped in to help when the Deep went on an international se`rch for | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
penguins. I got to visit thhs September, and visit the st`ff and | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
see the exhibits and meet everyone there, and that sealed the deal for | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
us. It's a great facility, we had the birds to send, so we were | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
willing to do so. The team designed and built the penguins' new home. | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
Doing it themselves has helped to keep the costs down. You can't get a | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
penguin on eBay, and we said at the beginning, we are an environmental | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
charity ` if we're going to bring penguins here, we're going to bring | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
them to the most exciting, suitable site that we can. That doesn't come | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
cheap. It's costing us about ?600,000. Part of that cost is | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
transporting the penguins. They travelled loaded into a crate, and | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
were then flown cargo class on a jumbo jet. It was a little scary to | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
let them go into the cargo hold without us, but we've prepared well, | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
and I think they will do just fine. It is only when the birds are | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
unloaded at Heathrow's anim`l reception centre that everyone knows | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
they are OK. I see penguins They are all standing up. More than a day | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
after the gentoos left their home in Texas, they are finally in their new | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
enclosure in Hull. It feels like it's been quite a long journey, but | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
we are here now, and I think the whole team are thrilled, just | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
watching these little fellas running around, which is kind of magical, | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
really. It's lovely. In the next few months, the five penguins whll be | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
joined by five more, who will also take the trip from Texas. Aren't | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
they gorgeous? Earlier, I spoke to Mike and asked | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
him why the team had to go to Texas to find the penguins. | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Peter, it was a tough job, but someone had to do it. The Ddep, the | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
aquarium at Hull, were determined to get hold of gentoo penguins, a | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
really interesting species. The third`largest. Only found on the | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Antarctic islands, the Falklands, South Georgia. It seems the only | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
place where they cast the ndt far and wide was a lovely aquarhum | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
called Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas. That's why we went | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
international, transatlantic, and brought the penguins back from the | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
big old US of A. Was that tricky? It was very tricky, honestly. Going all | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
the way to sunny Texas, where it is cold and wet and windy in Htll. It | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
is really tough trying to transport these animals, because they are | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
sensitive creatures. They nded to travel in cold temperatures, so we | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
had to keep them at six degrees When they left the aquarium, they | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
went into a refrigerated cr`te in the belly of the plane. Thex had to | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
have glow sticks, like the dance rave glow sticks, all the thme, to | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
make sure they have light, because these penguins are afraid of the | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
dark. Then obviously when they arrived at the animal reception | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
centre at Heathrow, they had to be checked over by a vet. Eventually, | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
they made it. Fiona, the ond female, was a bit poorly, but I unddrstand | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
she's made a complete recovdry and they are doing very well. What is it | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
about penguins? Is it something to do with the way they walk? Dverybody | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
loves penguins, don't they? Peter, everybody loves penguins. I think it | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
is something about the bike he will element. Bipedal element. And they | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
get excited, they stand uprhght and flap their wings like this. They are | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
very sociable. They are verx noisy and gregarious. It is a bit naff to | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
anthropomorphise size, but they have bags of personality, and thd people | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
of Hull and Humberside and further a field, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
as so incredibly excited. It is almost like an honorary mamlal. | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
These birds have five star `ppeal. We look forward to seeing them, and | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
look forward to seeing the programme as well. Thank you very much. Always | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
a pleasure. And you can see more on the gentoo | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
penguins in Hull on tonight's Inside Out, which is on BBC One at 7:3 . | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines. An tltimatum | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
to surrender is issued as Rtssia sends more troops into the TK. `` | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
troops into the Ukraine. Tonight, Lewis Dale's father says he will | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
stand by his son. He is my son and I love him, and I will stand by him. | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
This was not my son. It was the drug MCAT. David Dell talking me`t | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
tonight. The weather forecast for tomorrow. Fog and frost at first, | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
but then it will clear. Top temperatures around nine degrees. | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
And I have just heard that the Environment Agency has issudd a | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
flood warning, the second hhghest level of alert, and also Easington | :27:05. | :27:14. | |
caravan park. This is because of high tides expected this evdning. We | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
talk about flooding and farlers on the programme. Just a few of the | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
messages. James says, homeowners have to pay insurance. Why don't | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
farmers? They are always wanting free hand`outs. Why can't f`rmers | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
sit around indefinitely waiting for the government to help flood | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
victims. Farmers are taking action themselves, and they should be | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
helped. Good response on thd story. Thank you for those. I will see you | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
tomorrow night. | :27:45. | :27:49. |
