The Tunisia terror attack inquests has heard how lives were lost

He was really laid back and really pleasant. She was really lovely.

There will be a scattering of wintry showers. Join me for the updated

forecast. The Tunisia terror attack inquests

has heard how lives were lost because of police cowardice

as a gunman walked freely through a beach resort for half

an hour killing tourists. Three people from this area

were among the 38 victims. Claire Windass from Hull,

Bruce Wilkinson from Goole The tour operator has also been

challenged about the level Our reporter,

Crispin Rolfe, is here. Crispin, what evidence was heard

about police cowardice? This was evidence of how several

divisions of Tunisia's security forces failed to stop gunman

Seifeddine Rezgui during They arrived too late,

to save any of the 38 lives. It was heard how one police patrol

was seen on CCTV deliberately slowing down on its way

to the scene. Another went in search of more body

armour and weapons instead of going straight there,

even though the vehicle had enough Some units took 35 minutes

to arrive, when it should It was also heard that

guards on the beach, who carried assault rifles,

would have been in a position to stop the attack

at the very beginning. An officer in charge of coordinating

the security forces said it was due And what was heard

about travel agent TUI? Bearing in mind the gunman

was able to roam free, killing for half an hour,

and covered more than a mile in that time -

today a senior health and safety manager at TUI at the time

of attack, Fraser Ellacot, In particular why had TUI not

carried out a security check after the terrorist killing

of tourists in Tunisia just three He said it was not their

responsibility, and that security was such a specialist issue

it was down to the hotel, But the barrister for the victims

families pointed out that - A security expert had emailed

another TUI manager warning of a potential campaign of violence

by so-called Islamic State in Tunisia after the earlier

attack in the capital. And the barrister said TUI had

checked security at the Sousse The point being, that had proper

security been in place at the time of the attack many lives

would have been saved. Two teenagers have died

in a crash in East Yorkshire. A 16-year-old girl from Selby

and a 17-year-old boy from Goole died when the car

they were travelling in hit a tree The driver, a 19-year-old man,

sustained minor injuries and has been arrested on suspicion

of causing death A man's died after a crash

on a Lincolnshire road. It happened on the A18

near Ludborough at around 11 A car and a lorry were involved,

and the road was closed The new Chief Constable

of Lincolnshire says he's 'reasonably optimistic'

about the future of the force. Bill Skelly, who was previously

the deputy chief constable of Devon and Cornwall

there are still He's been speaking to our

reporter, Jake Zuckerman. Lincolnshire's new chief

constable is getting to know Bill Skelly takes over at a time

when the force faces Next Friday I will be meeting with

some of our farming community to talk about issues and the things

which really affect them, in terms of anti-social behaviour and

criminal activity. I am very keen to listen to and understand the

problems before I really kind of commit to where we need to put the

resources because it may not be necessarily clear at the outset for

me as to where the best effect of those resources could be. How are

central government? Two big things central government? Two big things

we want to see new arrangement that have not featured much in the past

are the sparse geography area that we have to cover and also seasonal

population increases. I am optimistic those two arguments this

time round are being listened to. Whether or not they will actually

translate into increased funding, that is my challenge over the next

three months. Boston has been described as England's most

segregated town. You have seen it for yourself. How are you going to

deal with the tensions that causes in the community? I have also used

wood model heard it described as one of the most vibrant and

multicultural. There have been historic tensions and it is my role

to work with the communities and agencies to intervene where we can

to reduce those tensions. It may be early days,

but the new chief constable says he's optimistic about the outlook

for policing in the county. The former chief executive of Hull

and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Phil Morley,

who was accused of bullying, is now leaving a second high level

NHS job at a hospital Mr Morley his post in Hull in 2014

just weeks before a highly critical The trust Essex has

been rated "inadequate" Councillors failed to make

a decision on selling-off a chalet park that dates back

to the first world war. Residents at the Humberston Fitties

which is beside the sea near Cleethorpes are worried

about the future of the area if it's sold to a leisure company and put

forward their own bid to run it. The decision on the Fitties' future

now goes to another committee Hull has played host to a Royal

visit, just six weeks into its City The Prince of Wales and the Duchess

of Cornwall arrived just before lunchtime, to be greeted

by hundreds of well-wishers. The story of the day,

from Kate Sweeting. It wasn't the best weather for a

royal visit, but once the motorcade had arrived, no one seemed to mind

the rain. The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall took the time to thank the

public who had lined the street. He said we were courageous for being

out in this weather. I was a bit cheeky, I shook his hand and said

Monica, Charles. He was so laid back. Really nice. It might be a

cold and wet day but that has not discouraged hundreds of people from

coming out to see the royal couple. This is the only engagement they

will carry out today together. They will inspect the ?5.2 million

refurbishment of the art gallery before going on two separate

engagements. Once inside, they took a closer look at the exhibits and

met potential artists of the future. Next to Prince Charles it was a

visit to holy Trinity Church, soon to be renamed Hull minster. He saw

some of the regeneration work and even tried a spot of crocheting

without great success. He struggled without great success. He struggled

a bit, I think. He needs to practice. But he did OK. For the

Dodgers, it was a visit to a homeless charity. She met those who

had been helped by the charity. She asked me why the reason was I had

come here and what did I do here. And generally asked me about myself.

The final stop on the visit was the deep. She presented prizes to five

story charity, for which she is a story charity, for which she is a

patron. She told me to never give up and keep on writing. I was nervous.

It was nerve wracking but I was happy after I had done it. The final

billing of the day for Prince Charles was a visit to truck Theatre

where he met some famous faces. There was then just enough time to

thank a few more well-wishers before the visit ended but it will be a

memorable day for all those involved.

Tonight, rather cloudy with a few scattered showers.

Minimum temperatures 0 Celsius, with ice on untreated surfaces.

Tomorrow, rather cloudy and very cold, with brighter spells,

but also scattered showers of sleet and snow.

A little change as we head into the weekend. That is it from us tonight.

Sorry we are so late because of the football. We will be back to to dash

back to normal tomorrow night. cloudy and Ben Rich will take you

through the bigger picture. Good evening. Over the next few days

I suspect it's going to feel like we have been plunged into the deep

freeze. Cold weather on the way and not necessarily crisp cold weather,

with blue skies. A lot of cloud, there was some sunshine today across

parts of west Wales, for instance. That lifted temperatures up to 11.

But further east as you can see from the picture, there was a lot of

cloud feeding in and that pegged temperatures down into single

figures, because there is increasingly cold air heading in

this direction on a cold and fairly strong wind. Tonight that wind will

continue to deliver wintry showers, particularly close to the east

coast, a mixture of rain and sleet along the coast. Inland some

snowfall and wherever you are it's a cold night with temperatures around
