finish one ahead of Shane Lowry of Ireland. And that is all the sport. | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
There's more throughout the Hello from BBC Look North. More than | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
500 volunteers have joined the Lincolnshire Police Force a year | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
since the Police and Crime Commissioner launched a campaign to | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
recruit a thousand. Getting them in place has cost more than six hundred | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
thousand pounds, money some argue should have been spent on employing | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
full time officers. Tolu Adeoye reports. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
Kitted out for his first day in the field with Lincolnshire police. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
20`year`old student Jacob Mason is one of 500 volunteers taken on in | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
the first year of a project to get 1000 people working for the force | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
for free. Today he is part of an operation hunting for contraband in | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Grantham. We are just waiting for the sniffer | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
dogs to come and sniff out the store. Looking for anything, hides | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
or anything counterfeit or illegal. From volunteering in the police, I | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
am definitely getting a foot in. And possibly a career in the future. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
The new recruits include support workers like Jacob, specials with | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
the same power as regular officers, as well as cadets in the countries | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
first voluntary PCSOs. I am absolutely delighted. This is a | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
milestone for us. It is a 1000 challenge, that's an ambition, but | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
it shows that we have struck a chord there with many, many people in | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Lincolnshire who want to do something for their communities. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Lincolnshire police have spent around ?630,000 recruiting and | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
training the volunteers it has so far. That amount of money could pave | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
the starting salary of around 25 officers for a year. The force, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
though, says that for every pound it spends on volunteers, it makes back | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
?4. That is a principle for me and my | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
colleagues in the federation. If there is money available it should | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
be spent providing more front line police officers. That's not to decry | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
the work that the volunteers will do. The force has been hugely | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
professional in the way that it has gone about recruiting the right | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
people and trying to put them on the right places. Back in Grantham, it | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
has been a successful day for Jacob's team. It is down to him to | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
photograph the evidence. After today's operation, he says he is | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
more convinced than ever he made the right decision volunteering. The | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Commissioner needs 500 more like him to hit its target by 2016. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
The results of elections for the European Parliament ` held last | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Thursday ` are being announced this evening. Voters in the East Midlands | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
region, which includes Lincolnshire, will elect five members. The count | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
is being held in Kettering. Six MEPS will be elected in the Yorkshire and | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Humber region, with the count in Leeds. Both regions will announce | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
results after ten this evening. And we hope to be able to bring you | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
those results if they arrive in time on the late Look North at 22.50pm. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
The North Lincolnshire town of Brigg has hosted an contestants from | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
around the world in the World Quadrathlon Championships. It's the | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
first time the UK's held the multi`event sport at this level, | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
which involves swimming, kayaking, cycling and running. Our reporter | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Crispin Rolfe was there. Under starters order in the first | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
ever World Quadrathlon Championships to be held in the UK. The River | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
Ancholme turned 1500 metre race track, as Brigg put on a show of | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
endurance. But what is a quadrathlon? You start with | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
triathlons and then you add on the kayak when you want more of a | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
challenge, and this is a fantastic location for it, you have got the | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
rubber on your doorstep and some cracking background. So the added | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
extra of a 7km kayak. But with Scunthorpe boasting its own European | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Quadrathlon Champion Steve Clark, the sport is firmly on the local | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
road map. Swimming, running, cycling and kayaking, for disciplines | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
instead of three. The European Championships has already been | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
here, and now for the first time, the world Championships. The bike | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
race is 36 K, a challenge for all but the leaders. Then followed by a | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
ten K run in what is surely one of the most gruelling events going. | :04:19. | :04:30. | |
Britain's Steve King came in fifth. I managed to fill `` if you back on | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
the bike. For Brigg, though, the race to host the UK's first World | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Championships is won. Though right now everyone needs a breather. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Hull Kingston Rovers have gone three games unbeaten in front of a home | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
crowd. They beat bottom side London Broncos 48`16 at Craven Park. The | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
court said he was proud of the win even though dated their food off the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
gas for the second half. Now the weather with Jennifer | :05:06. | :05:06. | |
Bartram. Hello. Good evening. The showers | :05:07. | :05:17. | |
that many of us have seen today will clear through the course of this | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
evening and overnight we will be left with a dry night, with some | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
clear spells and we could just see some patchy mist or fog for tomorrow | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
morning. Temperatures overnight will fall back to around nine or ten | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Celsius and the winds will stay fairly light for the south east. So | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
it is a bright start to Bank Holiday Monday, some spells of sunshine | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
immediately and then the cloud will build into the afternoon and we will | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
see some further showers breaking out. Like today, some of those | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
showers could be heavy and thundery in places. Temperatures tomorrow | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
getting up to highs of 17 Celsius. That is 63 Fahrenheit. As we go | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
through the rest of the week, some heavy rain will make its way up from | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
the south east too as we go through Tuesday and that is going to hang | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
around into Wednesday. Some real downpours on the way and highs of 14 | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
Celsius. Good evening. Some of us had a | :06:02. | :06:14. | |
pretty good soaking. It downpours around with thunder and lightning. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
It wasn't so bad everywhere. The satellite picture across the | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
Midlands, East Anglia and the south coast, the Isle of Wight. A | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
beautiful end to the day. You | :06:28. | :06:28. |
