31/10/2016 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

Operations are cancelled in ALL Lincolnshire hospitals, as ` virus

The trust has called this a major incident and say they are t`king all

steps possible to keep patidnts safe.

It's one of the largest compensation claims ever

against the Catholic Church - more than 200 men claim

they were abused at a care home in East Yorkshire.

They were the most evil people I've ever met in my life. You cotldn t

scream at him and say, go away, get off me, because he had the power.

Tonight a BBC investigation suggests the abuse could have been prevented.

Learning to defend British `irspace - we're given a rare look

at the training needed to fly the RAF's fastest jet.

Getting ready for a fright this Halloween - but is Hull

the stingiest city in the country when it comes to trick or treat

And we are in for a change over the next couple of days, state shooting,

I will be back for the forecast shortly. -- stay tuned.

Hundreds of operations and thousands of appointments have been c`ncelled

because of a computer virus that is affecting hospitals

across Lincolnshire and northern Lincolnshire.

Worst affected are Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole,

where trauma patients are being sent elsewhere.

Accident and Emergency departments are open but planned operathons

tomorrow have been cancelled in ALL hospitals in Lincolnshire.

Vicky Johnson is in Scunthorpe, what has happened here?

Managers say this has been ` deliberate and malicious attack

affecting all of their electronic systems, so patient records. A

decision has been taken to close down these systems so that HT

engineers can locate and destroy the virus, but this means that `ll

planned operations, outpatidnt appointments and procedures, have

been cancelled this afternoon and tomorrow. Patients already hn the

hospital will be discharged as soon as medically fit. The medic`l

director is Lawrence Roberts. It's affected us because we can t

get an awful lot of patient records, which these days are mainly

computerised, and it also mdans that some aspects of our buildings don't

work particularly well, our car parking barriers for exampld,

our ventilation systems. So for patients very sadly we've had

to decide to reduce the amount of activity

we can do safely tomorrow. This hasn't just affected the

Northern Lincolnshire and pool trust. Because they share four IT

systems with United Lincolnshire trust they have also had to revert

to manual systems so they are cancelling all planned oper`tions

tomorrow at their three main sites. Earlier we spoke to Mike

Brassington, the chief oper`ting officer for the Lincolnshird trust.

There are four computer systems that we share

with our colleagues at

NLAG and they particularly `ffect results with regards to blood tests

and pathology and microbiology and if our clinicians aren't gohng to

view those results we can't necessarily provide the card that

some of our patients would need whether they're receiving an

operation or in some of the outpatient clinics.

Patients who were attending A here at Scunthorpe and in some of the

other sites will be seen but they are likely to face long del`ys so

patients are being urged to stay away if at all possible, although

they will be seen if it is `n emergency. Patients at Northern

Lincolnshire and Gould are being told not to turn up for procedures

tomorrow unless they receivdd a phone call in the morning to do so

-- Goole. They are being urged to watch social media for updates.

It is one of the largest compensation claims

At Leeds High Court five men who attended the St William's

approved school in Market Wdighton, which closed in 1992, will dxplain

These are test cases, there are more than 200 othdrs.

If successful it could lead to payouts of millions of pounds.

Three men who were responsible for the abuse have

The Church has now apologised for this.

But a BBC Inside Out investhgation has discovered that those rtnning

the home had several chances to stop head teacher James Carragher

Caroline Bilton carried out that investigation and she joins us now.

Caroline, why was today so important?

They have waited 12 years for today, Peter. A chance the compens`tion

following one of the biggest cases of Catholic abuse in the UK. The

victims and supporters stagdd a small protest outside Leeds High

Court today. They spoke of how they had waited for this day to come a

day when they hope that fin`lly their voices may just be he`rd.

I didn't deserve what they did to me.

Nigel was 13 years old when he was sent to the Catholic-run chhldren's

On the outskirts of Market Weighton in East

Yorkshire, it was run by the De La Salle order on behalf of

They were the most evil people I've ever met.

Nigel was one of many boys who were abused

by the former principal, James Carrigan.

He takes you swimming, you get undressed.

And I thought it was really strange when

he started coming round and touching, like doctors do.

You couldn't scream at him `nd say, go away, get off me,

I don't know, what could I have to do?

James Carragher is currently serving his

third prison sentence for abusing boys at the homd.

He joined Saint William's in 19 8, was

promoted to principal in 1976, a role he stayed in till 1980.

But I've seen court documents that state that

James Carragher was being investigated as early as 1970.

Little detail but what we know is that on the 6th of April an

incident was investigated by a subcommittee of managers.

It concluded no further action should be taken.

Allegations continued into the 1980s.

I've seen written testimony from a child in 1983

describing how James Carragher hit the boy on the head with his fist

then dragged and kicked him and pulled him down a flight of stairs.

On this occasion James Carr`gher was subjected to an internal

disciplinary hearing and given a warning.

If a person with more scruples hadn't got in earlier and done up

drop investigation, James C`rragher would have been kicked out hn the

early 1970s. -- had got in. It was a perfect opportunitx for

abuse, they had complete control of the investigation but if solebody

knew the investigations werd taking place they must have known something

was going wrong. Neither thd De La Salle order nor the diocese have

responded to the allegations but in a statement the De La Salle order

said they deeply regret what happened. The diocese says these

offences are historic and a matter of profound regret for which they

apologise. Both reiterated they now have robust safeguarding policies in

place. Decades have passed but many of the boys who came to Saint

William's are still commentdd by their time there. Those acthng on

behalf of the victims say they have been countless attempted suhcides.

This lady says her partner was haunted by memories of the home

until his depth they're death three months ago. It would go frol crying

uncontrollably. -- until his death three months ago. And he wotld walk

around with his fists clenched, he couldn't get away from it, ht was

like a life sentence. Today a civil case the compensation has started at

the High Court in Leeds, it could lead to a pay-out of millions of

pounds. Nigel wanted a personal apology, something he feels he is

still waited for. The civil case has started today, it

started with five test cases, but those I have spoken today s`y it is

not about the money. They do want a personal apology from the dhocese of

Middlesbrough and the De La Salle order. They say that an apology on a

piece of paper for them means nothing. The case is expectdd to

last the three weeks now but there is no guarantee that it could lead

to pay-outs for all 149 men. This Saint William's story still has some

way to go, Peter. And there's a special report on this

on BBC Inside Out tonight, showing how the abuse startdd

at St William's as early as 197 and how those running the home had

numerous chances to stop James Carragher but their f`ilure

to do so meant boys A woman's died after a crash

on the A63 earlier this month. The 88-year-old from Skidby

haven't been revealed by thd party but the council's leader,

Stephen Brady, will take Mr Bayes' employers, Hull

and East Yorkshire Hospitals Trust, say he's not at work at the moment,

but they're unable to say any more as it is a confidential

employment matter. A judge has warned a chemic`l

company it faces a "substantial fine" after one of its workdrs died

at its plant in Paul Doyley, who was 48

and from Immingham, died after a container

at the Cristal factory rupttred contaminating him with its

highly toxic contents. Our correspondent Sarah Corker

was at Grimsby Crown Court. Father of two Paul Doyley h`d been

working night shift when thdre was an explosion. A container vholently

exploded, covering him in toxic fumes and liquid. He died two weeks

later. Another worker suffered life changing injuries. After thd

explosion in March 2010, a thick cloud of toxic fumes poured out of

the site and spread across the Humber estuary and shipping

movements were stopped for several hours. The day in court the

prosecution said at the timd parts of the plant and equipment were

poorly maintained and operated and safely. Cristal, the companx that

owns and runs the site, has admitted breaking health and safety

regulations and apologised. It says since the accident it has spent ?40

million improving the site `nd today the judge said serious findhngs IV

company had devastating consequences for the -- and the fine would be

substantial. A senior councillor

in Lincolnshire says she dotbts whether Grantham will never again

have a fully functioning A The department has been shut

overnight since August. Thousands of people marched

in Grantham on Saturday to protest. The hospital trust has said it does

not have enough doctors to staff the department safely

and that the closure is temporary. Councillor Christine Talbot

is the chair of Lincolnshird County Earlier I asked her what shd thought

of hospital bosses who had lade the decision to close

the A overnight? We all know that there are three

sides of ULHT in Lincolnshire and they can't keep all thrde sites

open 24/7 because they don't have enough A consultants

or middle grade doctors. Because the campaign is mounting,

Nick Bowles, obviously now now he is very poorly,

is involved, and I think Robert Jenrick's

standing in for him. But they've done the campaign,

they've had marches, they've been to London,

they had another march at the weekend, and I understand

they're now determined to rdstore the A at Grantham and it hs not

going to be an A ever. Because I understand that some time

ago, and I can't get straight answers from the CX at ULHT,

that a decision was made to downgrade the A

to a minor-injuries unit. So are you saying it's a done deal

and that those people were wasting their time

at the weekend? I'm not saying it's a done deal

but the people of Grantham have been let down very badly

because they thought the A Have they been let down

by the Health Scrutiny Commhttee, because protests have been

going on about Grantham Hospital No, we haven't,

that's totally unfair. We scrutinise, but if we scrutinise

and we don't get the answers How do you mean

action will be taken? They have gone for another three

months on the grounds Well, they're going to make

a decision tomorrow. Come on, they can't recruit,

how are they going to open ht again So you are saying another

three months of closure? Last question, will it ever reopen

as it was three months ago? It will open as a minor-injtries

unit I suspect but not as a full-blown A,

as is at the County and the Pilgrim. Is it worthwhile protesting or is

the closure almost a done ddal? Still ahead on the programmd,

training to fly. We go inside one of the RAF's most

secret areas. Is Hull one of the stingiest cities

in the country at Halloween? For a couple of nights guest

appearance, Paul is not herd but we do have a win-win Evans in his

stead. Will you be putting on full make up tonight? -- we do h`ve Owain

Wyn Evans. I will as always and I will always

be wearing my special ties. Tomorrow morning we are off to a

faulty start, something to bear in mind if you are travelling first

thing. Tomorrow morning on ` lot of fog, dense, not patchy. I think it

will really affect visibility. Lows tonight of nine or 10 Celsits. Rain

to the north, that is a weather front that will sink southw`rds

Tomorrow's high waters, Hull at 7:49am and 8:06pm. The weather front

will slowly make its way down from the north, it will push awax a lot

of the fog. You may think whll be followed Everclear? -- will that fog

ever clear? The weather front is cold so trailing behind it hs air

that is a lot colder. Tonight's lows that I mentioned earlier, nhne or 10

Celsius, tomorrow's highs tdn or 11 Celsius, not a lot of difference in

the temperatures. Why is thhs happening? High pressure behind me

up in the Atlantic, low pressure, they turn in opposite direction so

it draws down in cold air from the north, and here it comes, and that

is here to stay over the next couple of days. Daytime temperaturds really

struggling to get into double figures but by night I think we will

see a frost over the next couple of days. Peter, I think you will need

another layer because it is certainly feeling a bit mord like

water. It is very nice that you care.

The pilots who fly them are on standby to defend

But a crucial part of their training takes place well away from the jets

themselves in a secure hang`r at RAF Waddington near Lincoln.

Jill Archbold was given rare access to see it.

The building is decades old but the technology

within is state-of-the-art , from the outside this is silply

Dome A but once the dome is closed this becomes a computerised

warzone and an RAF fighter pilot is about to fly a mission that

He can't be identified on c`mera for security reasons.

It's a lot harder to replic`te this kind of training in the real world

because you have to have thhs many aircraft to go and fly.

In terms of actual realism, pulling G is actually quite tiring,

whereas here I'm just sat in the chair, I've got

the screens, I've got the hood, but what they throw at us

and what they expect from us does make it a mental challenge.

This is one of the most private facilities in the RAF and phlots

from across the air force come here to train.

The yellow line on the floor will show us where we enter

Today some of the UK's best pilots are flying with American and German

planes manned by pilots sitting in simulators thousands

We give them a problem that's probably too difficult to solve

It's a made-up scenario but it's credible in terms of it

But what they will do is they will be co-operating

with a lot of other aircraft, more than they could see

Typhoons are the newest, fastest jets that the RAF h`ve

in service, recently used in military action over Syrha,

but the only way the pilots who fly them can practise large-scale

missions is to do it virtually, by linking up with aircrew

Here in Waddington we're connected over a big interndt

pipe that is encrypted to the United States

and we are training with six military bases

and we are training with six military bases across there

This air battles based training centre was originally used from 2009

to train Army personnel before deployment to Afghanistan.

Today, Army, Navy and air force teams are trained to work bdtter

together in preparation for any future conflict.

RAF pilots don't come here to be monitored or assessed,

instead the simulators they sit in offer a safe place to make

the mistakes that they wouldn't want to make in battle.

And tomorrow I'll be live at RAF Waddington when we'll be marking

100 of its history - and that of RAF

The University of Hull has spent more than nine million pounds

building recording studios and refurbishing its concert hall

ready for Hull's year as UK City of Culture.

An operatic performance showed off the auditorium,

which has adjustable walls to create the best acoustics.

There's also professional-standard studios -

including one of the first in the country to create 3D sound.

Two hand-made poppy displays stolen from Newland Avenue in Hull

However ONE of these remembrance tributes

is still missing following ` spate of thefts in recent days.

The Newland Avenue Residents' Association says "it's over

But they're still making more poppies to replace those taken.

If the other one shows up wd will let you know.

It was much better, our attitude was spot-on,

our determination was good, and we have to keep going and we

Well, one street in Hull is taking it all very seriously -

despite research that says the city is the stingiest in the country

Normally quite street in Hull but where things are certainly going

bump tonight. Welcome to Dundee Street, where the ghouls and zombies

have a few helping hands of the humankind. For Kerry and her family

the spooky fun began three xears ago. It brings fun for the people

around here, especially the neighbours who have to cope with the

lights and the noise. We have spent far too much! We just keep `dding to

it. A ghostly shimmer down the road brings you to another hauntdd place.

We knew we were going to do it so we started yesterday and it took about

five hours to put together. It is time to let your hair down, have a

few drinks, be merry and sc`re the kids to death! But is all of the

extravagance in gardens likd this paying off for young trick or treat

kids. One survey says that Hull is the stingiest city in the country to

handing out sweets. Not at this house! Probably why it was the first

stop for these which is tonhght They have only been to one house so

far and they have a handful already. Are you going to eat all yotr sweets

tonight? No. We are eating them now. And you are going around dohng trick

or treat? Yes. And with a slile like that, who could grudge a few sweets?

The time is five minutes to seven. Let's have a reminder of thd main

national and regional news. Anger and disappointment

after the government rejects an inquiry into one of the worst

clashes of the miners' strike. Operations are cancelled in ALL

Lincolnshire hospitals as a virus Tomorrow's weather -

a very murky start to the d`y, with dense patches of fog

for a time. Surely the HS, says Tim, have to

take note of how people feel? - the NHS. In the light of the hundreds of

thousands of pounds spent on training, surely doctors should do a

minimum term. Tony says, it is obvious to anybody

who has followed the story over the following month that they intend to

close the hospital and this is just the start.

There is a decision to be m`de on A tomorrow, we will let you know

about that. And tonight at 00:3 pm we will give you the latest on the

Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire hospitals story.

If you trust me not and I trust you not,

then what is the point in this marriage at all?

Life holds very few things which are genuinely worth having.

If you don't possess them, everything else is worthless.
