03/03/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from me -

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

The heroes that stopped an armed man - a bin man and a care worker

wrestle a suspected carjacker to the floor.

A guy came from that red car over their with a gun in his hand,

pointing the gun at me and shouted, get out of the car. Poor adrenaline

really. Just to stop the guy is keeping. This is one of a number of

carjacking attempt what police say is the continuing organisation.

The women who will march on London in a protest over pensions.

The ding dong in Lincoln over the cathedral's missing bell.

I will have the weather forecast in a few minutes.

An elderly lady, a care worker and a bin lorry crew have been

praised as heroes for taking on an armed carjacker

Witnesses in Hedon in East Yorkshire say the man forced a driver out

of his car at gunpoint early this morning.

12 hours after the incident police are still to reveal

details of the incident, but have said a number of attempted

carjackings happened across the Hull area.

It was a dramatic start to the day on

The driver of this car was on his way to

I did not comply straightaway because I was in a bit

He hit the gun on the window of the car, told me

I got out of the car, moved to the back of

He couldn't drive it away because he couldn't

As he realised the car wasn't going anywhere,

he tried to get out of the car and opened the door just as this

Witnesses had reported the mild had already

The driver of the bin lorry was actually filling

in for a colleague who was away on holiday and told me about his

He's not going anywhere, sort of thing.

Let's get in front of him and he can't escape.

Then at that point when we'd stopped the vehicle,

People were dragging him out of that 4x4 and wrestling him to the ground

The binmen who thought they had seen the man brandishing a gun but still

rushed to help people who had pushed into the ground.

This care worker says she and another lady were first

Some old woman ran across and I ran across and then the next thing

I know we are all piling on him on the floor.

Everyone rallied round, everyone that was walking

Everyone jumped out, everyone was really good.

Katy is still in Hedon, how unusual is gun crime in this area?

In the past, police have said it is very rare around here but today,

quite some hours now after the event, the police still haven't

confirmed whether a gun was recovered from the scene. They

haven't confirmed the nature of the event or what has happened to the

mild behind it. In town earlier, some people said they were surprised

binmen had put themselves in harm 's way by tackling somebody they

believed had a gun in their possession. The council has hailed

the binmen as heroes. It said what they did was a shining example of

going the extra mile to help the community. It is thanks to them and

everyone involved who helped for their bravery.

Humberside Police says it's also investigating the theft

The van was found outside a pub on Hessle Road this morning.

The Royal Mail have said their worker was unharmed

and there was no mail in the vehicle at the time.

Three teenagers have been arrested after the car they were travelling

in crashed into a level crossing at Langworth, in Lincolnshire.

Police officers were following a blue Corsa,

which was thought to have been stolen and had failed

Two other teenagers who were in the car are being

treated in hospital, one is said to be in

Lincolnshire's Police and Crime Commissioner

has given his backing to a new taser stun gun.

The government has authorised police to be equipped with the more

powerful tasers which carry two stun probes instead of one,

Marc Jones welcomed the move saying it's vital officers have the right

tools to protect themselves and the public.

Thousands of women who thought they would be able to retire at 60

are to protest in London after changes left them

waiting till they reach 66 to get the state pension.

The government says it has no plans to compensate them.

Now a campaign called Waspi is taking women from East Yorkshire

and Lincolnshire to hold a demo on budget day.

When the welfare state was created it promised a guaranteed pension

for everyone who paid National Insurance throughout

But a number of women in their 60s claim they've been short-changed

by changes to the way their state pensions are calculated.

Rosemary Jordan, a former teacher from Scunthorpe is one of them.

Somebody who is a year younger than myself has already

My sister-in-law was born in May '53, she got her state

I was born in February '54, I've got to wait another 2.5 years.

Traditionally the retirement age was 65 for men and 60 for women.

But in 1995 the Government decided the state pension age should become

equal for both men and women - this would be phased

But in 2011 it was decided to raise the state pension age again and some

women who originally thought they could retire at 60

are now facing the prospect of working until they're 66.

For many of the women in Hull WASPI, some women actually took redundancy

and early retirement and then discovered

they were not going to get their pensions from the state.

Some of them are talking about the physical and mental strain

of carrying on working in the roles that they have been employed

in for six more years when they never thought

The Government says everyone was told about these changes,

If I had been properly informed I would have done additional

financial arrangements for my pension.

But many campaigners are determined to make their voices heard

and they are planning the biggest protest so far to coincide with

Tim will be discussing that issue and much more on this weekend's

Sunday Politics from 11am on BBC One.

A union has accused the operator of Northern train services -

The RMT union which is striking on 13 March about driver only trains

and who should close the doors, claims Arriva put up posters

Something the company has described as a simple mistake.

The RMT are not happy, we'll hear from them.

First, Leanne Brown, our Business Correspondent

This is about who opens and closes the doors. Rail operators want the

driver to do it but unions say that is dangerous. It is unsafe and not

secure and actually, it is unfair on people who are vulnerable and

disabled. A strike is planned in ten days but train operators say driver

only trains like this are part of their future. Our plans are in their

very infancy of modernisation and were incredibly disappointed that

the RMT have taken this premature action. It is an issue that has

brought misery to passengers in the south of England for almost a year

with strikes almost every month. Hundreds of thousands of passengers

have been affected and they've even taken strike action themselves. As

things soured further, there were protests outside the Department for

Transport. IMDb sorry. The BBC even staged a debate so all sides could

thrash it out. As the dispute escalates to the north, there are

claims of dirty tricks. Unions say Northern Realtor Liberty put up

posters saying the protest was off but Northern Rail admitted it was a

mistake saying unfortunately one of our stations displayed the wrong

poster which was quickly removed. The fear now the passengers is that

the dispute could become as long and bitter as the strikes that have

often paralysed the southern network.

I've been speaking to Micky Thompson from the RMT union, who represent

I asked him whether he accepted the apology from Arriva

I think it's a bit disheartening that they have taken the action they

have, saying strike action was cancelled. Mistakes do happen, don't

they? That is what they were saying. I don't know if it was intentional

or not. It is about your members jobs or is it about safety? It is

both. First of all, the priority of safety for the travelling public and

secondly, it is security for employment form an abridged going

forward. We have had driverless trains for many years. The real and

safety standards board say they are safe. You are backing a loser here?

I disagree and if you are offering to that report, but says it can be

saved if the guidelines and equipment is put in place. The

realities will not back that. The protection of the travelling public

is paramount. 70% of our network is covered by conventional King trains.

We have robot ticking over people's jobs and who we are having a

conversation about the guards on trains. Some of the trains around

here are only two carriages long. They still travel over 70 miles an

hour and could still be involved in a contingency situation. I am sure

your viewers would like to be assured that there is some geometry

and that is protecting their lives. You want a southern real type

dispute in the North? Now, let's keep it there. I am the lead officer

and I have been trying to negotiate with this employer for over two

years now and try and find an amicable resolution to this

position. The reality is, we're wanting to introduce driver control

and if we are trying to reach a common demise and negotiate a

settlement with this employer, this employer is not head to consider

anything. The public want value for money, do you think travellers would

rather have a cheaper train ticket or pay someone and have a guard?

That depends on who you ask. We will take a common-sense approach here. I

am sure everyone will not mind, knowing they are getting from A to B

in a safe manner. This was that everybody 50, 50. Is

union right about safety or is the trading company that driver only

trains are the future? Who should close the doors? Here's how to get

in touch. Still ahead tonight: The council

slammed over parking as a 150-year-old Lincoln business

says it's closing for good. And the broken bells causing

confusion in Lincoln. The weather is next.

I noticed that you tweeted you watched me while having your tea for

years. I used to watch you for years, getting on from Henry Scott.

Primary school? You had to go and spoil it, didn't you?

The headline for tomorrow on it is looking quite cloudy for sure. Rain

and Russell at first but largely a try picture. This afternoon it was

quite unsettled and that is due to a low pressure but it is starting to

clear towards the North. More weather front to come over the

weekend so it is looking quite unsettled. This is the satellite

picture from earlier, this is the cloud that brought the rain. We can

have a look at the graphics for this evening and you can see it is

starting to fragment and turn sherry in nature must it will continue to

do so through the night and we could still see a couple of heavy

outbursts. The cloud will act as a blanket and prevent temperatures

from dropping too low. Tomorrow morning, your son will arise at 40

in the morning. Tomorrow, it will be a cloudy start.

We don't have any frost the concerned with Bill. We will see

some drizzle but that will clear, leaving us with a largely dry

afternoon. Still quite cloudy but we could see some to brighter spells

and temperatures in the sunshine. To respond so we see double figures.

The winds should be mostly lied through the course of the day

tomorrow and Sunday will be a largely dry stored. We should see

some brightness but then a weather front will creep up from the

south-west, bringing with it, very heavy rain through the course of the

day on Sunday. It will get quite blustery as well with temperatures

around eight or nine. As we make our way through to next week, we will

see changes from day to day. One of Lincoln's oldest family

businesses is closing its doors for good, blaming Brexit,

internet shopping The Ruddock's shop on the High

Street opened in its current This tour has been here in Lincoln

for 113 years. It is closing for a number of reasons, from changing

consumer habits to the fall of the pound Saint Brexit and also the

owners say issues around parking in the city centre. If Lincoln City

Council actually did have a strategy, I don't think they do, but

if they did, it wouldn't look much different from what has happened.

Lincoln City Council said they are extremely disappointed to have been

given some of the blame for this. They say they are opening a new

1,000 space car park in the city in the near future. The shop front has

been around for more than a century and a lot of people here have got

used to seeing it around. It's a real shame for a local business to

be going like that. Unfortunately it away many high-street ongoing. This

feels like it's part of Lincoln. I didn't realise. What a shame. This

business has been in the same family are former generations so the people

most disappointed today are the owners and the start. It just gets

to the point where I felt there was no alternative. One has to face the

reality of life. At least this way, we will be able to leave with our

heads held high. The owners say they will close the store by Easter so

within weeks, a shop that has been here for more than 100 years will be

no more. For a second week running,

Hull City have the chance to climb out of the Premier League's

relegation places this weekend whilst Scunthorpe United

come up against one Our Sports Reporter

Matt Dean is here. Hull City head to the current

Premier League champions Leicester City tomorrow and in the build-up

to the game, it's been revealed they're in talks with one

of their best They're keen to extend England

hopeful Harry Maguire's feature at the KCOM stadium and see

that as a priority. This weekend he is expected

to face Leicester. They beat Liverpool

on Monday after their boss's sacking but Marco Silva

isn't worried about that. Of course it is different, the

players showed our confidence because it is important and better

after the one win and it shows that they feel more comfortable during

this week doing the work but I don't see similar differences in tactical

work. Scunthorpe face their closest

promotion rival tomorrow. An automatic motion place is at stake

but they do need an upturn in form. Grimsby Town there pushing the

play-offs post again in League 2 and Lincoln City held to Aldershot

hoping to extend their lead at the top of the table.

After scoring just three tries in two games, Mark scored a hat-trick

last night in helping big Huddersfield by 48-8. Albert Kelly

also weighed in with a couple. Pleasing. To put 48 points and some

excellent tries scored there as well. This time of year, we're

trying to build truancy with the ball and hopefully tonight we will

go towards doing that and you'll see better from us against St Helens

next week. Hull Kingston Rovers play

Sheffield on Sunday, where they're leading

the Championship after If you want to follow your team this

weekend, BBC Radio Humberside and BBC Radio Lincolnshire will have

commentary of all the key action. Lincoln Cathedral is having

problems with its bells. Some people have noticed a missing

dong, and have got in touch with the BBC to ask what's

going on. Lincoln Cathedral,

breathtakingly beautiful both But this building goes well

beyond looks, it also offers magnificent sound, sound

from its 20 bells spread over three For keeping you on time, it also

sounds perfect chimes every 15 I don't know whether it's

my hearing but that It sounds like a dong

hasn't dinged or So it's time to investigate

what's going on and to This is the bell here

that is supposed to be rung. What's happened is, the spring

that goes just there has actually broken

and without those springs, what happens is,

hammer hits the bell far too hard and you end up with a broken bell.

These are the cables that operate the hammer that hits the bell.

That's the faulty one of the moment, the one that's set back.

The biggest tool for the moment will be the repair

bill of ?2,000 to ?3000 but for now, to avoid disappointment,

we've filled in the gaps for you with another

It's a programme made here in Hull's UK City of Culture year

going on national television tonight.

The presenters are Anne Marie Tasker and Kofi Smiles, who joins us now.

My agent said and I just said, I've got to display. I couldn't bear the

thought of somebody else playing Lady Sarah for I did. I'm really,

really glad I'm doing it first. The presenters are Anne Marie Tasker

and Kofi Smiles, who joins us now. Everybody living here knows how just

great the City of Culture has been but this is a chance for us to shut

the rest of the nation to come down and join us for the next few months.

It will be looking at the hypocrite, and everything that has been going

on there. It's going to be looking at how this thing behind me, the

blade, got here and we will have a sneak peak of what is going to be

coming later on in the year which will be looking at the new Theatre

reopening with the Royal Ballet coming here. So, make sure you check

it out, don't miss it, it will be fantastic.

And this is just the first in the series.

Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines.

Theresa May lays into Scottish Nationalists as she tries

to stave off a second referendum on independence.

A suspected carjacker with a gun is tackled to the floor

by passers-by in a quiet East Yorkshire town.

Tomorrow's weather and further outbreaks of light rain at first,

but these should gradually clear northwards, with a chance of some

A response on driver only trains, Bannview says we should have

cordless trains. When I get a train to Peterborough, Spalding, there is

only one carriage and even then, they cannot be bothered to walk down

to check tickets. Pat says if there is going to be driver only trains,

who will check that passengers have paid their fares? Some news just in,

from the police, we have been actively investigating several

aggregated vehicle thefts that occurred in hole and East Riding

earlier today. They say we received former reports of vehicles being

stolen including a postal van by two men believed to be carrying

imitation firearms at various locations. There were also protocols

relating to attempted theft. A 23 old man has been arrested and are

made in custody. That said, had a good weekend. See you on Monday.

Cake-a-bake? Yeah. What is that?

It's like bake a cake, but we flipped it.

Oh, my God, we love flipping. Cake-a-bake. Cake-a-baking.

I love it. I so love it when this happens.
