trapped in Iraq for eight months is facing

further delays to his return home. Kristian Nicholson has only been

able to talk to his family via the Internet after his passport was

confiscated by police following a fatal car crash.

At the weekend he received a six`month suspended sentence and was

set to have his passport returned but that still has not happened.

fatal crash but still has not been given back his passport and it is

not clear when that will happen. There is no need for me to be here

because the court said I was free and if I had my passport I could get

on a flight and come home. He is trapped in Irbil. At the moment it

is stable but one security expert told me it is still not safe place

The Nicholson family is getting used to waiting.

After eight months they still have no idea if and

when their dad would come home. It's been really scary.

Nobody knew what was going on. We were given false hope all the

time and we were just frightened. He wanted him back home.

Free school meals for all children in the first three years of primary

of the new school year next week. Tonight there are fresh claims that

the policy has been rushed through. A mother from Lincolnshire says she

year olds will get free meals so that should mean all four to seven

year olds.' Sarah says 'If the child can't eat what the school serves up,

give the mother a voucher for the equivalent cost of the dinner so she

can buy the child something she can eat.' Catherine: 'Personally if it

was my child I would make them a packed lunch myself that I know was

safe for them rather than risk them being ill by getting a free meal.

Police are appealing for witnesses after two people died in a crash

near RAF Scampton. The collision involving two vehicles happened just

after 11 o'clock yesterday morning on the A15. A 45`year`old

man from Stainfield and a 59`year`old man from Scunthorpe both

died at the scene. A female passenger is in hospital with

A ward has been closed at Scunthorpe General Hospital after patients came

down with a stomach bug. Tests are being carried out to see if it's

caused by the Norovirus or winter vomiting bug. Doctors have asked

patients who display symptoms to stay away from the hospital and say

staff are being advised to stay home if they become sick.

People in Grimsby affected by flooding say there's too much

talk and not enough action by the council to prevent future damage.

The concerns follow the announcement that a working

group will be set up by North East Lincolnshire Council to review what

Some homeowners were flooded twice in a month,

This was the scene in a seat in Grimsby earlier this month. Some

people had just replaced carpets from similar flooding three weeks

earlier. Rains came again and the problems are returned. The trains in

the street have won in 40 year chance of this happening and this

has happened within three weeks. We just want somebody to investigate

what has actually happened and we should not be terrified. People who

live here say that nothing has been done. Last week there was a special

school council meeting of the Cabinet backed the Conservative

group leader says that people need to see action. People want for the

council to be out there and looking at the problem area is that are

happening again and again. We needed to deal with these drainage

problems. We have had people come down the street more than once but

still nothing is being done. We are still in the situation where water

could come back into the house and we want less words and more action.

Residents say that they needed to know that repairs to their homes

will last. tonight. Phil, what have North East

Lincolnshire Council had to say? Unfortunately nobody was available

for comment but a statement from them says that a working group will

be set up following council approval to look at how flooding is dealt

with in the area. We have also spoken to Anglian Water who have

said that the sheer volume of water inundated the system and the pumps

were dealing with five times the usual amount of water. You can

understand why residents who have tried to fix their homes here are

wondering why this has happened and whether these repairs will be all in

vain. Here are the details if you want to contact us if you have been

affected by this. Still ahead tonight: The goals which

just keep coming for Grimsby Town and why state`of`the=art technology

could help one hand`cyclist get to Rio.

rain is expected later on Wednesday night because of this weather

with some sunshine so it looks quite changeable. It was a cloudy start

but that cloud pulled away from the north`east and we have seen those

pictures in Grimsby of a beautiful end to the day. Fine everywhere with

plenty of sunshine. Overnight a bit of loud rolling in from the North

Sea might produce the odd light shower but most of us will stay dry.

Quite windy at first, especially along the literature coursed and the

national parks is warning it may have to close rights of way and shut

down conservation projects because of government cuts. The North York

Moors National Park has seen its budget cut by 40% and next

month more savings and redundancies will be announced. It says it's now

being forced to rely on teams of volunteers to keep vital services

going. Phill Connell's been investigating the financial plight

of this important national asset. This footpath is just one example.

If we were not doing this now you would not be able to see this path

by the springtime. In the last three years the budget of the National

Park has been cut by 40% of annual spending reduced to just over ?4

million. What rule for volunteers no play here? How reliant will the Park

become on the hard work and goodwill? The chief executive says

that volunteers will not replace qualified staff and it says in over

50 years of the Park being in existence he has not known at times

like these. It really is a huge change and there are days when you

feel completely despondent so we will rely more on volunteers because

the alternative is that things will not happen. A planning application

for potash mine near Whitby has also squeezed finances further. This has

raised questions as to how we safeguard this beautiful national

asset. A restaurant in Lincolnshire has

been badly damaged after an articulated lorry

left the road and crashed into it. The accident happened at Whaplode

last night. No customers were hurt and the

driver of the lorry escaped with minor injuries.

An investigation into the circumstances

of the crash is under way. A Hull food company has agreed a

deal with an Indian manufacturer worth ?100,000 a year. Chaucer Foods

will provide croutons for the Indian market in an agreement which has

seen them increase their trade with the country by 50%. The details were

announced by the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg who is on a

visit to India. A Lincolnshire village is hoping to

secure enough investment for them to build a solar farm.

200 panels will start going up on this barn roof in Belchford

from next month. That's enough to provide electricity

for around 16 households. If successful it will be the first

time a solar farm has been run by a cooperative in the county.

There are lots of benefits. Point number two, it is clean

energy. Point number three, I suppose, it's

clean technology, it's known technology, it's been

around for years. The panels will start to be put up

in September. More than half the ?56,000 quiet has been raised in

just one month. ``required. We have not found anyone disappointed yet.

With British weather being as it is, is that a real benefits in having

solar panels? This is a very effective technology and people are

often surprised to find out that solar energy works less well when it

is heart. There is a surprisingly difference between the performance

of solar panels in the United Kingdom and in Mediterranean areas

in summer. It is believed this will benefit people even if they do not

have a share in the solar farm. Grimsby Town supporters will have

Rio Paralympics in 2016. An athlete from Lincoln is using

cutting edge Liz McTernan is already one of the

world's top hand cyclists. She is now working with sports

scientists from the University of Lincoln to improve her technique

and go even faster. In sport you have to get the edge on

your opponent. Milliseconds, millimetres make all

the difference. Every element of performance needs

to be scrutinised. To have biomechanic feedback on the

correct peddling, how I am seated in the bike, how aerodynamic I am,

it all makes a massive difference. And, as British Cycling do, they

have marginal gains and that's what I'm looking for now.

This is Liz's second session with the human performance department

at the University of Lincoln. It's already helped a number of top

athletes reach perfection. Two main objectives we have with

this type of biomechanical analysis, the most important one, the one

which matters to the athlete is improving his or her performance

but also we have two remain conscious about the risk of injury.

To get optimum technique in terms of performance is key, but also reduces

the risk of injury. Liz started in triathlons and

despite switching her focus to cycling just a year ago, she has

recently finished in the top three for both races and

time trials across Europe. I am now ranked sixth in the world

in my category for hand cycling and I'm ranked second in

Europe at the moment but I have one more competition to

go and I'm hoping to bump my ranking up and be first in Europe.

It depends who turns up for the turned to

and regional headlines. A report's published into the sexual

abuse of almost 1,500 children in Rotherham over

16 years. The father from Hull says he's

growing increasingly frustrated after being trapped in Iraq for

eight months. Tomorrow's weather: Dry and bright

with partly cloudy skies and sunny spells. A light or moderate south

east wind, and a top temperature of Talking about the 40`year`old girl

who cannot get school meals because of her allergies, feedback from

viewers says that she should not miss out just because she has

allergies. Paul says that he is sure this child will get dietary food on

the National Health Service. Why does mum not just pack some up? Some

people are never satisfied. One woman says she worked for school

meals for 27 years and provided special diets. See you tomorrow

night at the same time. Have somebody play bagpipe at the

airport to welcome you? Possible. Whichever car you like,

with Wi-Fi inside? Possible. Can I get you a pink elephant?

I'll try! See, the Indian philosophy

is not a guest, but he's God.
