Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
Backing for the owners of Htll City. A woman from Lincoln dies trying to | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
save two children swept into the sea in Tenerife. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
1,000 days to go to City of Culture 2017, but does Hull have thd ability | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
to host big events? Some evdnts the city does not have the venuds for | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
for the moment. And as Russ Wilcox becomes ` global | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
record`breaker, what else h`s the time given the world? Torrential | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
downpours this evening, but what about the rest of this week. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
Join me later. Good evening. The majority of Hull | :00:54. | :01:10. | |
city season ticket holders who voted in a ballot have supported the | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
change of name to a whole Thgers. But less than half of those eligible | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
actually voted. The club's owners say they will not comment on the | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
decision until after the wedkend's FA Cup semifinal. The footb`ll | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Association will make its comments on Wednesday. Last August, @ssem | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Allam announced his named the club. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
He said it would give the club a stronger brand identity, potentially | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
worth millions of pounds. Btt the move angered some fans, seehng it | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
went against over 100 years of history and tradition. The club | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
balloted the fans. A short time ago, the results were released. The club | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
says the forms went out to 05,0 3 pass`holders. Of those, 5874 took | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
part in the vote. If you thhnk of it like an election, that's a turnout | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
of 39%. This is how the restlt breaks down, counted, the club says, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
by an independent company. 2565 said yes to Hull Tigers with the Allams | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
in charge. 2517 voted no to the name change. 792 fans replied saxing they | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
were not good concerned and would support the club no matter what | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
That is a 48 vote majority hn favour of changing the name. | :02:37. | :02:48. | |
In an important week for thd club but NFA cup semifinal at Welbley on | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Sunday, this is not the end of the matter. A full F a council leets on | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Wednesday and they will votd on whether Hull city can becomd whole | :02:57. | :03:10. | |
Tigers. `` Hull Tigers. Joining me now is Mark Gretton from | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
the City Til We Die campaign group. Good evening. You have seen the | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
results. What is your reacthon? Very hard to know what this tells us | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
When you have a question th`t says yes to whole Tigers with thd Allams | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
in charge, a lot of people wanted to support the Allams. But a lot of | :03:42. | :03:53. | |
people didn't bother to votd. The club did say they would get in touch | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
with all ticket holders. A lot of people who did vote found that there | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
bought in forms were blank, the ballot boxes were shot when they | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
said they were open. I think a lot of people gave up. Is it not time | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
you just fell in line? Most supporters are happy to go with the | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
owners? If this was a gener`l election, we would be having a | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
recount over 48 votes of a difference. It is not a ringing | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
endorsement. But this muddids the water. It makes it worse. I agree. | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
I've no idea why the club dhd this at this time. We asked for this back | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
in November. We could have fired a straightforward ballot. The club | :04:53. | :05:13. | |
have tended. Mac if the F a doodle `` FA do rule against it, would you | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
lose the Allams? I hope not, they have done a lot. Please let us not | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
your thoughts on this one. In a moment. Missing out, the | :05:31. | :06:00. | |
families who feel to benefit from free childcare. It's free, please | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
come forward. A GP from Lincolnshire is one of two | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
women who have drowned whild on holiday in Tenerife. Dr Bar`thi | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Ravikumar was a partner at the Heath Surgery at Bracebridge Heath near | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
Lincoln. It's thought they were trying to rescue their children | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
who'd been swept away by a wave They bear in Tenerife when the | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
accident happened yesterday. Our correspondent Paul Murphy is live in | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Bracebridge Heath for us tonight. What else to we know about the | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
circumstances of the accident? Those precise details surrounding the | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
accident are still unclear. We are getting bits and pieces of | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
information from the authorhties in Tenerife. It appears that Dr Barathi | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
Ravikumar was in a family group with a doctor friend and another adult, a | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
woman and two children who got into difficulty in this scene. It is | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
unclear how that happened. There are suggestions the children were washed | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
off rocks. The result was that Dr Barathi Ravikumar and her f`mily | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
friend both drowned. There were three rescues. Local fisherlen went | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
to help. There was a rescue effort by the local authorities and | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
holiday`makers as well. Tributes have been paid to her, what have her | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
colleagues said tonight? Shd had only worked here for three or four | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
years, but made quite an impact People have been shocked by her | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
death. In a statement, the Heath surgery where Dr Ravikumar worked | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
said, "During her short timd with the practice, she was passionate | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
about making a difference to health care in Lincolnshire. Dr Ravikumar | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
will be sorely missed." Friends and neighbours of the doctor | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
have been speaking to us tonight. It's a shame because she was a very | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
nice lady and was admired bx everybody. A tragedy. Massive shock. | :08:21. | :08:34. | |
I was in there a few weeks `go and you sorted me out, sort of blood is | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
out. It's come as a shock. We expect a full details of these | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
tragic incidents to unravel in the next few hours and coming d`ys, but | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
an entire community in shop here. Thank you. | :08:53. | :09:12. | |
Councillors in Norfolk have decided to strap plans for a waste | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
incinerator. A former soldidr from East Yorkshire released on bail from | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
an Indian jail, where he's been held since October, says he hopes to be | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
back in the UK within weeks. Ray Tindall, from Hull, and Nicholas | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Simpson, who grew up in Cottingham, were among six guards arrested when | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
Indian police detained the ship they were protecting. The authorhties | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
said the boat had arms on board which didn't have the correct | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
paperwork. It's been a nightmare, to bd honest. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
But, having been in the milhtary, I've got a different mindset to the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
normal person and I have bedn able to focus on the right sort of things | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
rather than the bad sort of things. Being in jail for 170 days, it will | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
take time is to get used to being out. The lawyer says I should be | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
home hopefully in three to four weeks. | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
It's emerged that families hn Hull aren't benefiting from government | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
money which provides free childcare for two`year`olds. Despite having | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
been on offer in the city for more than seven years, hundreds of | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
parents are missing out. Hull was one of the first places in the | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
country to pilot the scheme. The city council says it has more than | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
350 free nursery places, and has been criticised by Ofsted for not | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
encouraging parents to take advantage of them. Amy Cole reports. | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
It's not all child's play hdre at Little Jumping Beans nurserx, but | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
learning how to interact with other kids as well. And for some parents, | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
the opportunity to send thehr young ones to nursery for 15 hours a week | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
for free is an opportunity too good to miss. She's always singing and | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
talking. She's the first ond of my kids that have gone for the | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
2`year`old funding. The othdrs never did and there's a big difference. | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
I think it's one of the best things we've done, as far as our child is | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
concerned coming to nursery. He can be with his parents, but thdre's | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
nothing like making friends and being with other adults. I think | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
it's the best thing for him, really. He's my first to come to a | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
two`year`old nursery. I've got a little girl, she turns two hn three | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
weeks, so she might be joinhng him. While these parents are makhng the | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
most of the incentive, therd are plenty who aren't. Hull Citx Council | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
has been criticised by Ofstdd for not encouraging more parents from | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
disadvantaged backgrounds to take up the free nursery places. Thd city | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
council says that for the up`coming summer term, it's received 208 | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
successful applications for two`year`old funding. It currently | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
has around 370 vacancies across the city. And, following a list provided | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
by the Department for Work `nd Pensions, the council has written to | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
406 families who may be eligible but are still yet to apply. | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
It's getting children into ` proper playing environment where they can | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
learn a whole mass of skills. If a child is on their own at hole, they | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
simply won't have a chance to do that and it's a terrible sh`me. And | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
we're offering these places free, please come forward. | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
The problem is that some parents aren't even aware of the benefit, | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
like this woman. She has just started bringing her daughtdr to | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
nursery and is now wondering whether she would qualify. I didn't actually | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
know that 2`year`old funding existed. That's why I've not looked | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
into it at all. I'm wondering whether we would have been dntitled | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
to it. I don't know anything about it so I will have to go and | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
research. Parenting organisations say they | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
welcome free places for 2`ydar`olds and would like to see more childcare | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
support. Hull City Council hs urging parents to get in touch. | :12:36. | :12:51. | |
You might also have a view on this story and the free nursery places, | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
maybe you're a parent, do you think two is too young to send chhldren to | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
nursery? 1000 days until whole becomds city | :12:57. | :13:11. | |
of culture 2017, but will bd city be ready? And as Russ Wilcox breaks | :13:12. | :13:23. | |
another record, how else has a town impressed the world? | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Keep your pictures coming in. Let's get the forecast now. | :13:28. | :13:43. | |
It's very lively out there. We got thunder storm and downpours. But the | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
good news is to date will bd the most unsettled day of the wdek | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
because tomorrow looks fine with some sunshine. Thresher will remain | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
high throughout the week and probably into next weekend. That | :13:59. | :14:10. | |
means many part will... This has given some very heavy rainf`ll in | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
places. Very quickly moving off into the North Sea. Overnight, a fresher | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
feel. The westerly wind will bring fresh air with a scattering of | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
showers. By the end of the night, those showers should be out of the | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
way. Cooler than of late. The sun will rise at about 20 past six. One | :14:34. | :14:45. | |
or two showers are possible in the morning, otherwise it is brhght and | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
breezy with variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells. A fdw | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
showers trying to get into Lincolnshire. But most of us will | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
enjoy a fine, right and bredzy day. Temperatures a few degrees down on | :15:00. | :15:09. | |
today with highs of 11 Celshus. Further ahead, Wednesday looks a | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
fine, dry day with some sunshine. Thursday mostly fine with a few | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
spots of rain on Thursday nhght Friday and next weekend look dry. | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
The man who ran Delhi` Londonderry city of culture see Hull has an | :15:27. | :15:49. | |
advantage. `` Derry/Londonddrry We have been looking at how thd city | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
has been getting ready for 2017 City of Culture status brought more | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
than a million visitors and an estimated ?25 million to | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
Derry/Londonderry. Plans ard being made so it can do the same for Hull. | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
Just four months since Hull was named City of Culture, almost half | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
of the ?18 million needed h`s been promised to the city. And that's | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
before they even begin speaking to private sponsors. Fundraising is | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
going really well. It's early days, we have three years to put together | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
the budget. But now that Hull has won, we see ?7 million of ilmediate | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
coverage and sponsors beating a path to our door. This has reallx hit the | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
national psyche. Plans for the BAFTAs or the Brits to | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
come here have been ruled ott because of Hull's lack of c`pacity. | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
But it's hoped Hull could follow Derry/Londonderry's lead and host | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
Radio One's Big Weekend mushc festival and the country's | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
best`known art competition, the Turner Prize. They want to `ttract | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
show stopping displays like this one in Sydney by Brian Eno. But before | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
they book artists, the team are making sure they have the | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
infrastructure to deliver 2017. It is a marathon. It's not ` sprint. | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
It's really important that we get all those discussions and those | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
dialogues right now so that we can plan for what is going to bd an | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
amazing year for the city. @nd also that we create legacy. That is | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
critical. So what else is in the pipeline By | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
summer, a chairperson and an artistic director will be appointed | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
and making decisions about what the city will host. Plans are bding | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
drawn up to make it easier to move between Hull's cultural highlights | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
and create artistic gateways to the city. And next year, an offhcial | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
campaign begins to recruit 4,00 volunteers, similar to the | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
gamesmakers that helped makd London's Olympics a success. And on | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
June the 28th, there'll be ` big public party to thank peopld in Hull | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
for the part they played in winning the bid. | :17:41. | :18:00. | |
Elia, I spoke to the director of Derry/Londonderry. Its liturgy where | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
it should be `` is the city would it should be? Yes, work | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
behind`the`scenes has been going on. The team will be making things | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
prepared for releases about the programme. Do people realisd how big | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
this could be? There are cynics everywhere you go in the world. The | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
situation turned around when people began to see the programme `nd the | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
opportunities and the busindss opportunities. That happened made | :18:41. | :18:55. | |
each year `` mid`year. It c`me with recognition in the lonely planet | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
guide. You think it is a little things that matter and you worked | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
with the taxi drivers. What should they do here? They need to consider | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
what the business is for thdm going forward. A great taxi experhence is | :19:10. | :19:18. | |
likely to sell the city. If their appearance being polite? To be | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
knowledgeable and proud of the city because everybody in this chty, | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
250,000 people, are ambassadors for this city going forward. Visitors | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
will come from around the world Why should ordinarily peopld, who | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
might not have a job, why should they be excited about this? They | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
should be proud about their city. This city has one and not m`ny other | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
people have done. The probldm going forward is people may not sde the | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
opportunity at this moment hn time. If you have not got a job, perhaps | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
you will get a job out of chty of culture. Did it bring jobs to | :20:03. | :20:12. | |
Derry? Yes, it did. But it can't be about one year, it has to bd a | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
sustained effort. Thank you. Thanks to everybody who got in touch | :20:20. | :20:33. | |
about a shortage of prescription drugs. | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
Roy in Cleethorpes messaged me to say... I had at heart transplant 15 | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
years ago and one of the drtgs I am on is proving difficult to get hold | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
of. I have to order it two weeks before I needed and the pharmacy as | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
to ring the supplier to get hold of it because it is not being stalked. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
It is adding stress to a difficult situation. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
Plenty of other similar expdriences as well. | :21:10. | :21:50. | |
One of Hull City's longest serving players, Andy Davidson, has died. He | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
played 579 times for The Tigers during the '50s and '60s before | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
joining the coaching staff during a career at the club lasting 33 years. | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
There will be a minute's silence in his memory ahead of City's home game | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
against Arsenal later this lonth. On the pitch, the Tigers have | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
virtually secured their place in the Premier League for another xear | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
They are now nine points cldar of the relegation zone. I just can t | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
see that the teams below us will get enough. We are hopeful to kdep going | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
to the end. Hull Kingston Rovers went out of the Challenge Ctp at the | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
fourth round stage yesterdax. The Robins led at half time, but | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
Warrington proved to strong for them and ran out 28 to 24 winners. Both | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
Hull clubs are now out of the competition. | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
And plenty from this weekend's rugby league will be on the Super League | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
Show. That's on BBC One this evening, just before midnight. | :22:58. | :23:08. | |
This weekend, this man becale a world record`holder. Russ Whlcox, | :23:09. | :23:20. | |
his Scunthorpe side has rem`ined unbeaten for 25 games. | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
Scunthorpe, a town of grittx steel like and steel`making deterlination. | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
A town that gave birth to ldgendary actresses like Joan Plowright and | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
the most successful British golfer of his generation Tony Jacklin. It | :23:39. | :23:49. | |
all started here. With a golf ball in front of me and just wanting to | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
be as good at golf as I could possibly be. And now the world's | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
spotlight is shining on Scunthorpe again. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
We're talking about this man, manager Russ Wilcox. On Sattrday, he | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
did it again. After an away win against Torquay. Now 25 unbdaten | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
games in a row, extending hhs new world record. That's the kexword, | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
momentum. Having a great st`rt breeds confidence, belief, | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
togetherness. They won from this penalty. It was a bit cheekx, but | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
went past the keeper into the back of the net. Torquay had thehr own | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
chance, but couldn't get back Sam Slocombe. An historic run continues. | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
We've never known them win `s many as they have this year. Thex've done | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
really well. Usually they start well and go down. Any club that can make | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
a record, no matter what it is, it's got to be good for the town. The | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
fact that Scunthorpe are dohng well has lifted the town. Look at those | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
two. It's lifted the spirits. This is a town well prepared to keep | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
enjoying the moment. That's fantastic. Let's havd a recap | :25:11. | :25:19. | |
of the main national and regional headlines. | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Oscar Pistorius apologises hn court to his girlfriend's family `s he | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
takes the stand for the first time at his murder trial. Backing for the | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
owners of Hull City. If this was a general electhon, we | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
would have a recount. It's not a ringing endorsement. | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
The weather for tomorrow, a much brighter day than to day with | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells. Fresher than today `s well. | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
A big response on the subject of the whole city name change. `` Hull | :26:02. | :26:14. | |
City. If I buy a company, I should allowed to call it what I w`nt. I | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
feel sorry for the Allams, they can't do right for doing wrong. Why | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
worry about the name, it is winning that is imported. Matthew s`ys, I am | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
a season ticket holder, I ndver got an e`mail or any notice of how to | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
vote. I do not know anyone dlse who was notified. Daniel says, H think | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
the name change is ridiculots, it is part of the heritage of the club. | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
But the big thing for the club is Wembley. Fans have spoken, lake the | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
name change and move on. Henry says, the wording of the ballot has | :27:00. | :27:08. | |
altered the vote of many. The ballot should simply have asked yes or no | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
and nothing else. That is all for now. Good nhght | :27:14. | :27:16. |
