The Lincolnshire farmer taking his first trip to London. | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
Over time, people coming and going, it is very different. | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
More sunshine to come over the next few days, the details follow | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
shortly. A Lincolnshire school has become one | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
of the first in the country to break away | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
from traditional summer term times. White's Wood Academy in Gainsborough | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
says it will help improve learning but also mean that parents can take | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
children on cheaper holidays away The Government's welcomed the change | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
saying it wants every school to have Parents face being fined if they | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
take children out of lessons. The last day of school at White's | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Wood Academy in Gainsborough. But next year the term will end | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
a week earlier to allow families to It is helpful. Cheaper holidays mean | :01:39. | :01:57. | |
more money to spend on the kids. I am happy with it. It is normally so | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
expensive. It'll be so much cheaper and better for. The trust that runs | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
the school has changed next year's term dates so holidays are shorter | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
and they fall outside the standard holiday period which means that | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
parents will be able to buy a family holiday without the inflated prices. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Should be a school's concern to get it cheaper holiday? We started off | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
with looking at a different model, then we consulted parents to see | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
what changes they want. We are always asking parents. This is their | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
school, what would they like? It was also about the children being tired | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
near Christmas and about as not having a long summer break and the | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
lack of learning because the children drop quite a lot of | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
learning during that time. And the difference between | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
school holiday and non`school The cost of taking a family of three | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
to Mallorca in August is ?1680 whereas in May the same holiday is | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
?670, a thousand pounds less. But one travel agent warns that | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
starting the summer holiday early to In theory, it is a great idea. | :03:14. | :03:29. | |
Whether it comes off in practice, I am not sure. Airlines are clever. | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
Generally speaking, if a date starts to become popular, even if there is | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
no particular reason for it, prices can go up. | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
This school says changing the term times isn't just about holiday | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
The thought of saving money is bringing a smile to parents' faces | :03:45. | :03:54. | |
here. Julie Davies is a representative | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
of the National Union of Teachers Do you think other schools | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
should follow this example? If it's a win`win situation? I'm not | :04:00. | :04:13. | |
sure they are all quite true. I have three children. At various times, | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
they have been at different schools. If all schools set their own | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
holidays, you can have three schools were different holidays and that | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
could turn into a nightmare. I take out when this came up that thinks it | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
is wrong to lose the six`week long summer holiday as teachers like it? | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Yes, they do. As teachers that worked 50 to 60 hours a week, that | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
is on average, they are exhausted at the end of term. And children need a | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
holiday, too. You think you need that six weeks? I think children do, | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
too. Credit to leave `` could lead to better attendance? | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
It can't be proven, this is a new situation. I agree if it does, it is | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
a good thing. I am not sure that shortening school holidays will do | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
that. In favour or not in favour? I know that six weeks sounds like a | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
long holiday and perhaps it is. But I think everybody should have longer | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
holidays. Teachers are in a different world. Yellow if you | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
compare `` If you compare it to other countries, teachers don't have | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
long holidays. People say we always have to compete, why don't we have | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
more holidays like they do abroad? Are you happy that the price of | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
getting away to the sun is beginning to dictate school times? No. ?1000 | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
for a price hike because kids are a holiday, it is disgraceful. And | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
people are saying it is good for education. Which is it? Thank you | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
very much for coming in. Can changing term times | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
help children learn? What else should be done to ease | :06:20. | :06:21. | |

saying today about the search for Police say the search is now focused | :07:37. | :07:48. | |
on an area of land near Barnsley. There have been 200 reported | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
sightings of him, but police say many have been discounted. We are | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
told he is wanted in connection with a targeted serious sexual assault | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
that took place about a week before the murder of Bei Carter. Police are | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
trying to do get a set of keys that are missing from the guesthouse. | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
They are room keys that look similar to this, | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
It's thought John Heald took them with him, but could have thrown them | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
away somewhere in Bridlington or over in the South Yorkshire area. | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
Crimestoppers has put forward a ?5,000 reward for information | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
But a warning from the police is still in place ` this man is | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
potentially very dangerous, he shouldn't be approached and if you | :08:35. | :08:37. | |

of people competing from across the world. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
Our sports reporter Simon Clark is there. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
What medal hopes do we have over the next 11 days? | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
It is hard to put an exact figure on it as there are many intangibles, | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
but ten athletes I hear from our area and I would be surprised if we | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
come away with fewer than three. `` are here. | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
All packed and ready for action. He has more to look forward to them | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
most. Thanks to his grandfather, he is playing hockey for Scotland and | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
proud to be wearing a kilt. We have been working hard for the last three | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
or four months, training in Scotland. We have trained on that | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
pitch. This is the best squad Scotland have had. And mixing with | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
the home crowd and support, we hope for our best ever finish. This is | :10:35. | :10:42. | |

am happier now what I see on paper each week. It is a great position to | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
be in. You don't want to go in thinking it is not quite for you. It | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
has been great. Ten athletes from East Yorkshire are aiding the glory. | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
Many could win coveted medals. How does the atmosphere compare | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
today to that surrounding the It has been fantastic. The weather | :11:57. | :12:08. | |
has helped. We were driving on a main routes here and passed to | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
cyclists. I would like to take you to the Clyde and show you the | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
polythene bags, but they are actually part of the pyrotechnics | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
that you will see soon. If you see an explosion by the SECC, you know | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
what it is. Still ahead, a final decision is | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
made on what will happen to the site of Louth's former capital markets. | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
And he has never been on a train, tube or bus, the Lincolnshire farmer | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
enjoying a day out in London. A green weather forecaster and an | :12:45. | :13:08. | |
orange newsreader, I thought it was cruel. | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
I will show you how hot it has been. Kings Lynn, 27 Celsius. Other places | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
struggling with low cloud, 16 Celsius. Here is tomorrow's | :13:24. | :13:35. | |
headline. A great start, warm sunshine breaking through. Generally | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
speaking, the coastal low cloud should be a a lot thinner. High | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
pressure in charge. You can see the low cloud and missed that actually | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
anywhere on the satellite picture, it has been shrinking, but for many | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
it is beautiful with lots of sunshine around. Cloud and missed | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
will extend inland. South Lincolnshire may well stay clear. | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
Temperatures coming in of 13 or 14 Celsius. The sun will rise at two | :14:10. | :14:21. | |
minutes past five. A great start in many places. Low cloud will break up | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
pretty quickly and the Lincolnshire coast should have a better time of | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
it. Much of the East Yorkshire coast should clear, so most will become | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
sunny. Like all moderate east would wind. `` eastward. We're looking at | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
top temperatures of 25 Celsius. Another beautiful day to come. | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Friday is similar with a great start. Sunday, fresh air on the way | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
from the North with more cloud and a risk of showers. | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
No matter how desperate you are, you can't be as bad as Alex Deakin who | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
has treated in. Don't forget to... | :15:10. | :15:25. | |
I'm not green, but you are still orange. | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
The number of patients waiting for hospital treatment in | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire has gone up by almost 10,000 people | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
According to Government targets, all patients should be seen within | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
18 weeks after being referred by their GP, but waits | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
Our health correspondent Vicky Johnson has been looking | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
After being referred by a doctor, the Government says you should be | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
But the number of people waiting longer than this | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
has more than doubled at some of our hospital trusts over the past year. | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
Last May, there were 1866 people who'd been waiting too long at | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
At the same point this year that number had almost doubled to 3660. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
That means out of a total waiting list of almost 38,000 people, | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
Sheila Hall was first diagnosed with anaemia last August. | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
Her GP referred her to the Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals for tests | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
She then spent more than six months waiting for another appointment to | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
You think you have got lost in the system | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
and you do constantly worry that there may be some serious problem | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
Sheila's experience is far from unique. | :16:37. | :16:46. | |
Thousands are kept waiting longer than the Government 's target | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
of 18 weeks from referral to treatment time. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Hospital managers say part of the reason for this is | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
They say they are working hard to reduce the backlog. | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
They have also told us that they are now liaising closely with | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
their colleagues in the community to try to change the process by which | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
Ruth Marsden is the vice`chair of the National patient group, | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
Nationally, the Department of Health see waiting | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
For the individual patient, it is an element of their own well`being | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
It is hugely important that if they are told they are having | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
an appointment and it will be within X weeks, | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
Last night, the issue was raised in the House of Commons. | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
4000 patients in East Yorkshire are forced to wait more than 18 weeks to | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Hospital managers insist they are working hard to improve | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
This isn't a problem particular to our area. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Other hospitals across the country are seeing the same increases. | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
It seems to be a combination of rising patient demand, combined with | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
But some of our trusts have now agreed to | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
invest more money on increasing both the number of outpatient clinics | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
Have you been affected by the longer waits for treatment? | :18:20. | :18:30. | |
Perhaps you've been left waiting for results longer than you should have? | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
What do you think should be done about this? | :18:35. | :18:49. | |
It's one of Lincolnshire's longest running planning disputes, but the | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
future of the cattle market site in Louth will become clearer tonight. | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
Councillors are meeting right now to decide whether to sell the land to | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
It's a move that's split the town with some people saying | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
a supermarket is needed for Louth to progress. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Others say it could drive out independent shops. | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
Our business correspondent Sarah Corker is outside East | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
Sarah, why has it taken so long to get to this point? | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
It is because over the last five years, there has been fierce debate | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
about how the site should be developed. At the start of the | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
meeting, there was a 4000 strong edition against the supermarkets. | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Today, it was decision day and about 30 minutes ago councillors voted to | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
approve that sale to Asda. It was described as a momentous but | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
difficult decision made for the benefit of Louth. | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
Louth cherishes its uniqueness. It is largely `` has largely resisted | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
the march of the chain stores. At this green grocers, there is concern | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
that character could disappear if a supermarket giant moves in. I was | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
scared we will lose our identity. We don't want it to stop moving | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
forward, but how many supermarkets does a small town need? The cattle | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
market is only use one morning a week. The district council is | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
purposing to relocate it and sell this land to developers for a | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
supermarket. There were 15 bidders and this afternoon councillors | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
approved the sale to Asda. There were a lot of views amongst members, | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
but there was a vote in favour of the sale. We will go back to Asda | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
and it will be up to them to bring forward a planning application. | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
There are already smaller high`street supermarkets here. The | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
council has an alternative plan and says it will appeal the decision. | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
Keep the cattle market on the current site. People of Louth get | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
the shops that they have not currently got... But some want a big | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
supermarkets or they can get a weekly shop. Yell back they think | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
they're going to get some megastore,. `` they think they are | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
going to get some megastore, but they won't. Due on the supermarkets | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
here? I don't see why not. `` do you. It will bring jobs, I suppose. | :21:35. | :21:44. | |
I am very much against it. I love the little town. The sale is worth | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
up to ?12 million to the council, money says will be spent to improve | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
public services. It is predicted the town will grow | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
by 2000 houses in the next 15 years. The council says it needs a bigger | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
supermarkets. Those in the against camp says it is in and out of town | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
location that will take customers away from the centre. It is not a | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
done deal, what happens next? Asda will have to put in a planning | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
application and only then will we know the size and layout of the | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
store. The council is looking at ways of putting an appeal against | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
the decision so the story is far from over. | :22:30. | :22:30. | |
Thank you. Thousands of people have turned | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
out in Cleethorpes to welcome It's the first time in 28 years that | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment have exercised their right | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
to the freedom of the town. Hull City Council has apologised | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
after paddling pools were closed in the hot weather. They will be back | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
in use tomorrow. The council says they were shut for maintenance work. | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
One has been shut for a year after an infection outbreak last year. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |

For most people, getting on a train wouldn't be a big deal. But Pharma | :23:23. | :23:32. | |
Wink is not the most people. He is a traditional farmer. He talks in | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
Lincolnshire dialect. He has rarely ventured further than his | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
birthplace. Today, he is going to London. `` but Farmer Wink is not | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
most people. It starts in first class. We have a special guests with | :23:53. | :24:04. | |
us. Farmer Wink from Lincoln. I like looking after the chickens and pigs. | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
It is in your blood. I have been on the farmer and it has been good. | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Getting used to the number of people was the first hurdle. I never | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
thought there would be so many people, touring and fro`ing. | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
Unbelievable really. `` coming and froing. | :24:30. | :24:47. | |
He then scaled the Shard. Before long, he had quite a | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
following. Then the following didn't just grow, it went national. | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
We have done the train and the underground, now we are on BBC Radio | :24:58. | :25:09. | |
2. This is one of the best days. It is great to have our friend here. I | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
don't know where to start, because this city is crazy. Trying to work | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
out what Farmer Wink makes of it, I do not know. I'm excited to meet | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
him. Then a tour and a bit of whether presenting. Note the name. | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
If that was not enough, Downing Street. This was not just a day, it | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
was a moment in history. How would you sum it all up? Marvellous. What | :25:43. | :25:55. | |
an end to the day. There we are, Farmer Wink's big day | :25:56. | :25:56. | |
out. Let's get a recap of the | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
national and regional headlines: The first bodies from the Malaysian | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
airline crash in Ukraine arrive A school in Lincolnshire shortens | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
the traditional summer holiday to improve education | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
and allow cheaper breaks. A grey start first thing tomorrow, | :26:14. | :26:14. | |
but most areas soon turning sunny Response on the subject of school | :26:15. | :26:35. | |
holidays. It will just make travel companies up their price and make it | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
more expensive. Even says that schools shortening summer holidays | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
is a waste of time. Karen says it is a great idea, hope other schools | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
follow suit. Teachers do live in a world of 50 to 60 hours a week, | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
facilitating school clubs in holidays and need a decent break to | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
start again. Finally, Louise says I am a teacher and have not had a day | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
off work yet. I wanted to go abroad, but cannot afford it. Holiday | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
companies don't think of staff. We have to pay ridiculous prices too. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
It is not fair. We are later because of the opening | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
ceremony in Glasgow. DRUMBEATS CONTINUE | :27:23. | :28:26. | |
