Good evening, and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The headlines tonight: Two women attacked by dogs in Lincolnshire. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
One suffers "life`changing" injuries at this quarry. | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
She was bitten on the top of her head. She has had fairly extensive | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
scalp injuries, she was bitten on the hand as well. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Calls to delay plans for thousands of new homes in Scunthorpe, because | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
of concerns over flooding. How can we possibly think about | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
building 3500 houses on what is a flood plain, when we note the | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
previous model for flood risk in our area was proven to be incorrect | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Also on tonight's programme: On their way to Wembley. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
Hull City reach their first FA Cup semifinal in over 80 years. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
The Lincolnshire skier who's won a second medal at the Winter | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Paralympics. Another lovely day, how long will it | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
last? Join me for the details coming up shortly. | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
Two women have been taken to hospital, one with "life`ch`nging | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
injuries", after separate dog attacks in Lincoln. Police say a | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
22`year`old woman was bitten in the head and face last night, bx an | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
American pit bull terrier. One man has been arrested in connection with | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
this attack. Then, this aftdrnoon, a 28`year`old woman suffered ` broken | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
arm in a second attack, thotght to be by a Staffordshire bull terrier. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
Jake Zuckerman reports. Armed police and a police hdlicopter | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
were called here late last night, to an old quarry popular with dog | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
walkers, after a 22`year`old woman was the victim of what's bedn | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
described by police as a devastating attack. The woman was badly bitten | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
by a dog, believed to be an American pit bull terrier. | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
She was bitten on the top of her head, she has had some fairly | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
extensive scalp injuries, she was bitten on the hand. She is being | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
kept at Lincoln hospital ovdrnight and I understand she is unddrgoing | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
surgery today to try to rep`ir as much as possible. It is likdly she | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
will end up with scarring. The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 outlines | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
the banned breeds in the UK, which are the pit bull terrier, including | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
the American pit bull, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, Fila | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Brasileiro. The maximum pen`lty if a person is found guilty of owning | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
one of these dogs, is a ?5,000 fine, or six months in prison. Owners of | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
banned breeds can get a certificate of exemption, but they must go | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
through the courts, and meet certain requirements. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Last night, at a house here on Keats Close in Lincoln, police arrested a | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
33`year`old man on suspicion of offences under the Dangerous Dogs | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Act, and also for affray, following an incident which happened when | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
police came to seize the dog which they believe was involved in the | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
attack. Neighbours say they're shocked. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
We heard a lot of commotion last night, dogs barking, shouting. Then | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
a helicopter above us for about 40 minutes. The police came ovdr, the | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
man came out `` out of the house with his dog, they were scrdaming | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
and shouting. The helicopter woke us up. Dogs, people shouting. We saw | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
police with guns. We stayed out the way. | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
Then, this afternoon a second dog attack took place here at Kdats | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Close, at the same address the man was arrested at. A 38 year`old`woman | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
was bitten by a Staffordshire bull terrier, while intervening hn a | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
fight between two dogs. Armdd police humanely destroyed that dog. | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
The dog is currently being held by police here in kennels at Lhncoln | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Police Station, while officdrs prepare to carry out DNA tests to | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
establish its breed. Meanwhhle, police are appealing for anxone who | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
may have any information about the attack to come forward. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
We don't know what's happendd in this case, But I asked Bill Lambert | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
from the Kennel Club whether banning certain breeds was the way to stop | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
dog attacks in general. No, I don't think that is the | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
answer. We have had legislation since 1991 when various bredds were | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
made illegal, but that hasn't worked. We have seen people turn to | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
other breeds of dogs. If thd law was wrong, to suggest an animal is | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
illegal because of the way ht looks... You say no dog is | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
inherently vicious, but most would say these are very vicious. That is | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
not actually true, those dogs in America are used for police work, | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
search and rescue. It is not fair to say a dog is inherently vichous but | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
dogs can be chained for illhcit purposes. So it is the owners at | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
fault, not the breed? Yes, ht is. We had the opposite effect by having | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
certain breeds labelled dangerous, it suggests all others are | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
inherently safe. Any breed of dog can be trained to be vicious in the | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
wrong hands. What about dog licenses, would that make any | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
difference? No, I don't think so. The government has announced | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
compulsory micro`chipping in a few years. That will remove the need to | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
have any licensing. Something is clearly going wrong. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
You have to put it in perspdctive. There are 10 million dogs in the | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
country, these attacks are very rare. But they come up time and | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
again, hardly a week passes without reading about it. In perspective, | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
there are a lot of dogs in responsible hands. This is `n issue | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
of education for the public and people to train their dogs properly | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
from an early age. Many of you have already bedn | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
debating the issue on our F`cebook page. | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
This is what Claire says. "I have dogs, and see so many | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
accidents or close calls, dte to out of control dogs no matter the breed. | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
It's far too easy for peopld to get and breed dogs, even banned breeds! | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
Time the government opened hts eyes. We would like your thoughts on this | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
one. Do you think the laws `re tight enough? Should more dogs be banned | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
from the UK? Or do dangerous dogs need better training to man`ge their | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
aggression? Please get in touch In a moment: The angling colpetition | :06:47. | :07:09. | |

Developers planning to build 6, 00 new homes on a flood plain near | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Scunthorpe have been asked to put them on hold. Today, local | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
politicians met with the Environment Agency to discuss if, after | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
December's floods, the area is still suitable to be built on. But there | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
are thousands on housing wahting lists, raising the question of where | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
all those new homes should be built, as Anne`Marie Tasker reports. | :07:30. | :07:39. | |
This winter saw severe floods, prompting the government to say | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
strict tests need to be passed, before new homes can be built on | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
flood plains. And that's rahsed questions about whether 6,000 houses | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
should be built as part of the Lincolnshire lakes project, on these | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
fields west of Scunthorpe. Today, MP Andrew Percy and North | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Lincolnshire's council leaddr met the Environment Agency, as ht | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
redraws flood risk maps for the region. | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
Things have changed, they h`ve had to do the remodelling, and puite | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
rightly so. I speak on the half of the residents who are writing to me, | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
saying, what are you going to do? Everything has to be strengthened to | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
support this application. It is important it is delayed unthl June. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
The ?612 million project is planned on flood plains on the banks of the | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
River Trent. But, just a few fields away from the site, December's tidal | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
surge flooded dozens of homds in the village of Burringham. As they still | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
make repairs, residents say they can't understand why new hotses are | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
being planned nearby. How are they going to do it with all | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
of the flood plain? To me, ht is ridiculous, I can't underst`nd the | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
reason behind it. In no way can I see the insurance people enjoying | :09:01. | :09:01. | |
those houses. Building on flood plains isn't | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
always out of the question. Near Lincoln, the Swan Pool development | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
is going ahead, now plans are in place to raise the land. Thd flood | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
risk management principles needed to be of the highest standard. The | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Environment Minister visited the area and said the government thinks | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
these projects should procedd with caution. The key thing is to choose | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
the site very carefully. Maxbe in Lincoln they have two consider | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
building on flood plains but need to make is that they have the right | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
mitigation measures in placd. That is the question that ndeds to | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
be asked before more homes `re built here on the edge of Scunthorpe. | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
Andrew Percy is the MP for Brigg and Goole. He joins me now from | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Westminster. Will these homds be built? | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
There is a planning application for 3500. Some residents are contacting | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
me, angry at this proposal. They need to know what the futurd | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
modelling is in terms of flood risk. Leaving flood plains alone, or | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
building new houses for a growing population, what's more important? | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
You can have a balance of both, it is not a case of always sayhng you | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
can never build on a flood plain. We have a glut of siding in thhs area. | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
The Environment Agency has said is modelling did not work as expected. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Now is not the time to procded and the residents in these areas are | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
quite right to be concerned. The council says it needs to build | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
3500 homes over four years, where can they do it? This isn't the only | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
location, there are other shtes which may be appropriate. A lot of | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
the development we are expecting to come to the area is on the other | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
side of Scunthorpe. This isn't the only show in town when it comes to | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
housing. If you are watching this and your | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
house is a new build in an `rea that gets flooded, people will s`y what | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
you are saying is sensible, why wasn't it done before? | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
We inherited these plans from the last Labour council. This government | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
has tried to tighten up planning policies. MPs are saying we are | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
never say never. We are sayhng that now is not the time, just after | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
people have been flooded, to consider putting 3500 houses on to a | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
flood plain. That seems to be bonkers to me. | :11:34. | :11:42. | |
The road under one of Lincoln's oldest structures has shut today, | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
and will remain closed for ` month. The Roman Newport Arch is bding shut | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
off to traffic to allow for repairs. More than half the stone will have | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
to be replaced by stonemasons. Some local businesses are worried it will | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
disrupt trade. We are worried that it will cause a | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
nuisance, cause disruption to our tourism trade, which is absolutely | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
critical to the city. Lots of you have contacted ts about | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
the debate on calls to relax the laws on the use of cannabis. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Humberside's Police and Crile Commissioner Matthew Grove says | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
those who support legalisathon must be living in "cloud cuckoo land . | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
But Deputy Prime Minister Nhck Clegg wants a review of Britain's drug | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
laws. Does anyone seriously think we are | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
winning the war on drugs whdn more drugs are being put onto thd | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
marketplace, more youngsters are using drugs at a younger agd. When | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
criminal organisations around the world of raking in billions of | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
pounds of illicit profit? Not everyone supports the idea of | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
legalising cannabis, but many do. Tim says: "Of course it shotld be | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
legalised. But no politician is brave enough to campaign for it Tax | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
it to the hilt, like cigarettes and alcohol, and start treating people | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
like adults." Karen in Cottingham disagreds, | :12:56. | :12:56. | |
saying: Carol called with her views on | :12:57. | :13:06. | |
cannabis. She says: | :13:07. | :13:19. | |
we will be talking about thhs tomorrow lunchtime. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
For the first time since thd reign of George V and the Great | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Depression, Hull City have reached the FA Cup semi`finals. The Tigers | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
will play Sheffield United `t Wembley next month, after thrashing | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
Sunderland in the quarterfinals Fans have spent the day booking | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
hotels and transport to the capital, and dreaming of FA Cup glorx. Sarah | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
Corker reports. Bright blue skies set the scene for | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
a showdown between two teams, both fighting for Premier League | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
survival, but also dreaming of Cup success. 20,000 fans arrived at the | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
KC Stadium, all smiles, in the sunshine. | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
3`0, easy. It was a shaky start. A poor penalty | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
by Sony Aluko, a missed opportunity. But Hull recovered after thd break. | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
Captain Curtis Davis heading home. David Meyler soon made it two, in as | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
many minutes. Then, a messy back pass for Sunderland, the sttff of | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
nightmares. For Hull, the chance to seal a trip to Wembley for only the | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
second time in the clubs history. `` club's. 3`0 to Hull. | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
Cue a pitch invasion. Can they go all the way? All the way, Sheffield | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
next round, Manchester City. Picking out League One side | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
Sheffield United next month, in the most unlikely last four. | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
1930, quite remarkable, the last time in a semifinal. Fans whll hope | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
we can make it a fantastic occasion, a big Yorkshire derby, at Whndley, | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
will be terrific. `` Wemblex. These were scenes in March 0930 | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
Hull beating Newcastle, to reach the last four. Back in 1930, King George | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
was on the throne. The aver`ge cost of a house was ?590. Hull wdre rock | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
bottom of the Second Division. But the 84`year wait to do it again now | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
over. I have been following them the 70 years. Football has changed so | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
much. The money side of it brings better players in, and facilities. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
You cannot contrast the conditions from 1930 to what they are now. They | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
will never have a better opportunity. Sarah is at thd KC | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
Stadium. Thousands of people will be trying | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
to get hold of tickets for the semifinal. When will they go on | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
sale? The club is hoping to have those | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
tickets on sale by the end of the week. That is still to be | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
finalised. In terms of numbdrs, up to 35,000 tickets. The match is | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
expected to be played on either the 12th or 13th of April. The lanager | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
has said if there are any f`ns at that 1930 semifinal, he will | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
personally pay for their ticket It is a case of finding them. Ht is | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
fair to say the trophy cabinet at this stadium is pretty sparse, so if | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
Howell can beat Sheffield, they will face Arsenal or Wigan in thd final. | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
There is a sense there is a real opportunity to add to some | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
silverware, and pop it in that cabinet. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Still ahead tonight: We talk to the family of skier Jade Etherington, as | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
she picks up her second med`l at the Winter Paralympics. | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
To get two medals in two races is a great achievement. Hopefullx she | :17:09. | :17:09. | |
will get some more. Keep the photos coming in, we will | :17:10. | :17:22. | |
have some more later in the programme. This is the sunsdt at | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
Brough Haven with the Drax Power Station in the distance. Th`t's from | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
Steve Wilkinson. Good evening. | :17:35. | :17:45. | |
What a lovely day yesterday. You reckon you weren't around for Hull | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
city in 1934, but take a look at this black and white picturd. That | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
must be the 1950s. That is Lulu That was the fashion them. Xou used | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
to have a thriving career! H said in that article I wanted you as the | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
forecaster, what a mistake! Tomorrow will turn sunny but it may | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
turn grey with some mist and fog and patchy, low cloud. A large `rea of | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
high pressure should ensure some lovely weather. It has not been fine | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
everywhere. We have seen a force five north`easterly all day with | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
temperatures of just seven degrees. The north and West managing double | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
figures but not as warm as yesterday. Tonight, we may see | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
further cloud filtering in from the wash. Some fog. With clear periods | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
leading to a widespread grotnd frost in western areas, down to two | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
Celsius. So, the sun will rhse in the morning at 6:27am. So, ` Gray 's | :19:02. | :19:13. | |
start in the morning with p`tchy fog and low cloud. That won't l`st too | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
long, it will break up and clear, the skies should turn sunny across | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
all areas. We should see wall`to`wall sunshine in thd West. | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
Still a cool breeze, in the shade it will feel chilly. In the Sun, 1 | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
Celsius. 11 degrees in Lincoln. Low cloud and fog will be expensive `` | :19:41. | :19:49. | |
extensive on Wednesday. Then, becoming a writer and reasonably | :19:50. | :19:50. | |
warm. Let us see there's lapels, that was | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
fashion! `` those lapels. The Paralympic skier Jade | :19:57. | :20:08. | |
Etherington is celebrating her second medal at the Winter Games in | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Sochi. The 23`year`old from Bourne took bronze in the super`G this | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
morning, after claiming silver on Saturday. Gemma Dawson watched the | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
race with her proud sisters in Lincoln. | :20:18. | :20:34. | |
Jade entering tinsel great Britain. `` Jade Etherington for Gre`t | :20:35. | :20:35. | |
Britain. The start of her second event in | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
Sochi. This time, it's women's super G, for Jade and her guide, Caroline. | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Back in Lincoln, Jade's sisters nervously watch the competition | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Shouting support at the TV, As Jade races towards the finish line. Then, | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
an even more anxious wait, while the final competitors take to the | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
course. Around ten minutes later, the results. Jade's team`mate, Kelly | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
Gallagher, gets gold. And the realisation in Lincoln that their | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
sister's also won a medal. This is not supposed to be one of | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
her best disciplines but shd has done amazingly to get two mddals out | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
of two races. Hopefully she will get some more. | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
Jade and Caroline have spent months preparing for these Games. Jade is | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
partially sighted, so relies on Caroline in front to guide her | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
around the course, shouting instructions through a headset. And | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
it seems all this training has paid off. Today's bronze is therd second | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
medal at Sochi. On Saturday, they claimed silver in the women's | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
downhill. We knew we had to work really hard | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
in the last few months, keep our focus on what we wanted to do, to | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
win a medal! And this medal`winning pair will be | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
back in action here again tomorrow. Hoping for even more success. | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
She is fantastic. Two medals, in two days, and basing a third tile | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
tomorrow. And even the Prime Minster has been | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
congratulating Jade. He twedted her on Saturday, to say well done for | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
her silver, and again today when she won bronze. Jade races again | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
tomorrow. Scunthorpe United extended their | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
unbeaten run to 19 games, btt missed out on the chance to go top of | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
League Two. The Iron took the lead against Northampton at Glanford | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
Park, thanks to Niall Canav`n. But the visitors equalised with 25 | :22:32. | :22:36. | |

all the tries from this weekend That's tonight on BBC One, `t | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
11.50pm. The glorious weather over the | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
weekend encouraged many people to get out and about, including more | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
than a thousand anglers, who descended on East Yorkshire's coast | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
to take part in one of Europe's biggest fishing competitions. | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
Organisers say the European Beach Open, which runs from Bridlhngton to | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
Spurn, brings in ?500,000 to the local economy. Amy Cole reports | :23:42. | :23:51. | |
Hoping to hook a ?35,000 prhze in Europe's biggest beach fishhng | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
competition. These anglers had travelled from far and wide, to be | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
in with a chance. I think it is my 11th year. We come | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
for the atmosphere, we like to fish, to catch a big fish. It is ly 1 th | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
year. It was a friend who invited me the first time. We have been coming | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
ever since. It is a nice atlosphere. We love the fishing. | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Whatever the weather, this `nnual event has never kept the fishermen | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
away, as these images from 2010 prove. | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
Whether it is rain, sun, sldet or snow. They come over, they spent a | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
fortune in the shops, the bed`and`breakfast 's. They probably | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
spend up to half ?1 million. And seeing the benefit of that spend | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
is this campsite near Withernsea. It has been really good, peopld on the | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
park. We filled our hire fldet completely. People from Denlark the | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
Netherlands, coming. The bars have been full. | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
Elsewhere across the region, the brilliant sunshine encouragdd many | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
people to get out and about. And it seems our local wildlife was also | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
basking in the warmer climate. Back at Withernsea, and time for the | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
weigh`in. But, unfortunatelx, none of the fish were large enough to net | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
that big prize. But at least the local economy was a winner. | :25:26. | :25:36. | |
What a lovely day it was yesterday, it cheered everyone up. | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
Thank you all so free your pictures. Keep your photos coming | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
in. Let's get a recap of the national | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
and regional headlines. The search for the missing Lalaysia | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
Airlines plane is widened. Authorities call it an | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
"unprecedented mystery." Two women attacked by dogs hn | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
Lincolnshire, one suffers "life`changing" injuries at this | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
quarry. The weather, a grey start in places, | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
though cloud will break to lead a dry and mainly sunny day, top | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
temperatures up to 11 Celsits. A big response on the subject of | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
dogs, thanked you for your lessages. Keep them coming in. One vidwer says | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
it is about time all dogs should wear muscles in public and wary | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
lead. Lesley agrees, saying every dog should be muzzled, it then | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
cannot attack anybody or another dog. Tony has e`mailed to sde if you | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
listen to the kennel club, they don't want any controls. I have a | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
lovely long`haired German Shepherd always on a, that should be made | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
law. The rain says no breed of dog can always be classed as safe or | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
always fishes. It is up to responsible owners to train their | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
dogs to be safe in the comp`ny. Steve says he believes all dogs | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
should be heavily licensed `nd kept on leads at all times in public | :27:15. | :27:23. | |
Finally, another message saxing it's choosing a dog licence will do no | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
good, neither with having a dog micro`chipped. If the owner doesn't | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
train the dog, there is a chance any dog could be dangerous. | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
That's all from us. Joins us again during the Ten O'Clock News. | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
Goodbye. | :27:39. | :27:41. |
