Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:03. | :00:07. | |
Humberside police say crime is on the up and there is worse to come | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
as the economic downturn hits hard. If care are number of factors | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
coming together. If anybody looks at this dispassionately they are | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
creating the perfect storm sewer crime to rise. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Firefighters say a fire which killed two people over the weekend | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
was one of the worst they've ever seen. It is unusual to come across | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
fires of that intensity. Super League's leading try-scorer | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
is set to play on despite suffering an epileptic fit during a match. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |

It has been a hot day before along time. Join me for the details in 15 | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
:01:08. | :01:09. | ||
There has been a sharp rise in crime in Hull and a senior police | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
officer says the worst is still to come. Humberside police say | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
burglary is up by 30 per cent and theft from cars has gone up by more | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
than 60 per cent over the last year. The economic downturn rather than | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
:01:29. | :01:30. | ||
cuts to police budget is being blamed. There are fears of more | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
misery for people living in the city. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Welcome to the most burgled street in Yorkshire. The dubious accolade, | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
that those on Hull's Ings Road estate would rather lose. People | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :01:50. | ||
like Colin, who has been burgled twice. The saddest part was my | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
wife's jewellery box. Bennett, apart from what I used to buy her | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
for Christmas, it was a diamond ring. When my mother died, my wife | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
could her engagement ring in. That went. And it appears of late more | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
people are suffering like Colin. In Hull during April and May, house | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
burglaries rose by almost 30 per cent compared to last year. That | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
means 93 more people have had their homes broken into. Thefts from cars | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
were up over 63 per cent and violent crime is up by almost three | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
per cent. It comes a year after Chief Constable Tim Hollis had to | :02:27. | :02:37. | |
:02:37. | :02:38. | ||
look at every part of the force to save money. 140 posts were cut. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
There are a number of factors coming together and creating the | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
perfect stance for crime to rise. The probation service has been | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
slashed. We catch these people all the time, we pick them to the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
courts, but it is very rare that we can get in kept in custody for any | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
lakes of times. It is a revolving door. Whether less officers equals | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
more crime was not only been discussed in Hull today. We have | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
been clear that there is no simple relationship. That view that we | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
take is backed up by the Home Affairs Select Committee. We are | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
trying to get our members on board to speak to the MPs. We are trying | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
to persuade their MPs to understand the impact of what is going on here. | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
For a place like Hull, we need public sector jobs. We need a plump | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
-- strong police force. These unwelcome figures are being blamed | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
on cash-strapped individuals turning to crime. But when there | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
are less bobbies on the beat, estates like this could become a | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
Diana Johnson is the Labour MP for Hull North and shadow home affairs | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
minister. She joins us from Westminster. As a Hull MP, what is | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
your reaction to these crime figures? I am very worried. If | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
these are the start of a trend of crime going up, that is very | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
worrying for my constituents and people across Hull. It is very | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
concerning. Humberside police say the economic conditions are to | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
blame. Other areas have financial hardship and the crime rates have | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
not gone up, what is going wrong in Hull? The cuts have been | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
disproportionate across Hull. If you look at the cuts to their local | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
authority and probation, you will see that Hull has suffered very | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
badly. We need to wait and see if this turns into a trend but it is | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
very worrying. Labour -- Labour would have cut benefits and police | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
numbers if they had won as well. The situation would not have been | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
different. That is not correct. We said we could see 12% cuts to | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
policing. The Government has gone to 20% cuts. The front loaded it. | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
The police and authorities have had little room for manoeuvre. We think | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
that was wrong. 20% is too much. The Home Secretary says there is no | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
simple relationship between crime figures and the number of police, | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
do you think there is a link? think when you look at the figures | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
in Hull that crime has gone down since 2002, there were more police | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
officers. We gave them more power. I would expect you to take that | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
line, but figures for burglary have dropped in Lincolnshire. They have | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
also had cuts. One is wrong in Hull? There are heavier cuts in | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Hull. We need to wait and see how this will develop. It may be that | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
this is just two months' work of figures. It is very worrying and I | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
hope they will not continue. More cuts are expected from Russia | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
police. �11 million. -- Humberside police. What should we do to keep | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
credit in the City? The resources that have been slashed so much by | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
the Government have got to be used as effectively as possible. I will | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
be speaking to their Police Chief Constable of Humberside to see what | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
we can do. We must all support each other and work together to tackle | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
the problem. We do need adequate resources. | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
Do you agree that crime has gone up because people have lost jobs in | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
the City or are on benefits? Are you concerned and it falling police | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
numbers or do you think they have enough resources? What you think? | :06:35. | :06:45. | |

Donors are asked to help solve the financial problems faced by a world | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
renowned theatre. A Hull businessman who collapsed | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
whilst running in yesterday's Humber Bridge half-marathon has | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
died. 33 year-old Matthew Good has been described by his colleagues as | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
a generous, caring, an honest person with a great sense of humour. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Mr Good was running for charity when he collapsed. He died later in | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
hospital. A man who was unable to save his | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
neighbours from a house fire in Hull has described the moment when | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
he desperately tried to get them out. Danny Draper said we did what | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
we could but it was just too late. He says he has been unable to sleep | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
since the tragedy on Saturday which killed two people. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
It has been described as one of the most ferocious eye is fires the | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
emergency services have been called to. It took the lives of a couple. | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Today, one of the neighbours who tried desperately to save them on | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Saturday morning described how flames ripped through the couple's | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
home. By the time it took me to cross the road, it had gone from | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
screaming to a pop window and from white smoke to black smoke and | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
silence. That was in a matter of 30 seconds. We went up one that ladder, | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
I thought it was the lady but it was her partner. We could not move | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
him. The flames were coming out, the smoke was really thick and | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
black. Worst thing I have ever seen. There was nothing they could do or | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
what any of us could have done. It was too quick, I think she will Cup | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
too late. Investigations are continuing into what caused his | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
devastating fire. It is understood there were no smoke alarms fitted | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
inside the property, something which will form part of the | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
investigation. The fire station is stressing the importance of having | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
their it devices inside a home. is unconfirmed whether the whole | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
had smoke detectors or not. Fire of this ferocity takes time to develop. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Having smoke detectors saves lives in gives you that critical early | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
warning at every chance of getting out of the property. We would | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
stress that you should have a smoke detector. Fire officers are now | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
making door-to-door checks in this shocked community, reassuring | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
residents and offering fire safety advice to anybody who needs it. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Investigations have begun into the cause of a light aircraft crash | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
near Grimsby. A 53-year-old local man was taken to hospital suffering | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
from head injuries and fractures after the crash at North Cotes | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
airfield yesterday afternoon. Officials from the Air Accident | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Investigation Branch have begun to examine the wreckage to try and | :09:40. | :09:50. | |
:09:50. | :09:52. | ||
find out what happened. I saw the aircraft approached it a airfield | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
and apparently lose control and crashed. An ambulance was called | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
and took their injured pilot a way, although he had managed to climb | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
out of the wreckage himself. It is not the first crash I have seen but | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
it is quite sickening as you never know what they injuries will be. | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Motorists in Lincolnshire will not be charged for on-street parking | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
after the idea was overwhelmingly rejected. Lincolnshire county | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
councillors today voted against scrapping free on-street parking | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
and installing meters. New ways of paying council employed traffic | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
wardens are now being investigated. It has been the hottest day in | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
years with the temperature climbing up of 90 degrees and places. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
However, with rain to come and uncertainty about the economy, | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
there are concerns that too is businesses are struggling. Simon | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
Spark is in Cleethorpes for us this evening. Simon, how busy has it | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
:10:54. | :10:58. | ||
been there? Earlier on this afternoon there | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
were lots of families enjoying the weather here on the beach. There | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
were a lot of children and families paddling in the sea. It has been an | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
incredibly hot day, it has been humid and sticky. There were | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
temperatures recorded of 32 degrees at Humberside airport. Over the | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
next 24 hours, that's all set to change. It is coping with that on | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
prick -- unpredictability that is the biggest challenge. You have got | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
a bed and breakfast, you were in charge of the tourism? Yes I have a | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
guest house. What are your concerns? It is a constant battle | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
of attracting people to the resort. One of the main things is to make | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
sure there are enough things for people to do. We have had a kite | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
festival and folk Festival, all wonderful 1940s weekend up the road | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
and a blues festival. I have spoken to people and a lot of people said | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
it was spur-of-the-moment to come here. One couple said that when it | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
is miserable we stay at home, that sums it up. It does. There are some | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
people who do that. People are looking at the weather at the | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
weekend and are breaking into guest houses. Thank you. After the | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
weather today, this cool breeze is more than welcome. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
It does not sound sinister tonight. Still ahead tonight: Super League's | :12:31. | :12:34. | |

Carol Vorderman is going to a show, are you taking your binoculars? Let | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
us look at the league table, you are all interested in how warm it | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
has been. It was the hot is at Humberside airport. It has net not | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
be so what's in July 2006. Poor old Bridlington, but if you do not like | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
the heat it might be nice here, 19 degrees. The rest of us have been | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
hot. There is cooler weather on the way. It is not the start of a | :14:00. | :14:09. | |
heatwave. It will be back to square one tomorrow as the hot ear is | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
shunted. You can see their cloud has been moving up from the south- | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
west. There are few showers showing up on the radar. Nothing menacing | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
at the moment, there is every chance that there will be some | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
heavy thunderstorms. It looks like these showers will be hit and miss. | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
Some places will miss them. Most temperatures of 14 or 15. The sun | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
will rise in the morning at 433 A M. Those are you or high water times. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
It will be mostly cloudy tomorrow with some showers around. There | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
will be some thunderstorms, but these will be well into Norfolk. | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
You will notice a big drop in temperatures. Let us have a look at | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
those highs. We had 32 at Humberside airport but tomorrow we | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
are looking at 19. That is a 13 degrees Celsius drop. Sunny spells | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
:15:20. | :15:29. | ||
And I shall polish my binoculars before the weekend! Dear think that | :15:29. | :15:39. | |

Now, Hull Truck Theatre has suffered financially since moving | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
to new premises. Last year, its total debt stood at �250,000. This | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
year, it has risen to �400,000 and faces cuts in the future. Elliott, | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
I spoke to Andrew Smaje and asked them how he is dealing with the cut. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
We are producing plays with pure accent -- fewer actors and we have | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
had to make redundancies. Everybody locally and nationally are having | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
to do this. As the future of Hull Truck Theatre assured? We are going | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
through a serious period. You could go bust? There is the potential for | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
us to go bust if they do not get the support of the public. Is it | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
the public's for? North. I do not think it is our fault either. -- | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
:16:52. | :16:54. | ||
know. We have to find an extra 300 people every night. That is not | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
easy to find. We have started to broaden the canvas of work. If | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
you're going to broaden your audience, you have to broaden your | :17:03. | :17:13. | |
:17:13. | :17:13. | ||
palate. There is a big audience for plays by Alan Bennett, Shakespeare, | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
Arthur Miller. We're not to hear it -- we're not here to make money, | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
we're a charity. We are here to break-even, but because of the work | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
we do with the community, with young people and with young, | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
disabled people, and in bringing on the next generation of talent, that | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
involves a certain amount of creative risk and our audience | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
loves to see that risk. It is very exciting to see Newick talent | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
emerging. -- a new talent emerging. That is one of the principal | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
responsibilities of my job. With hindsight, was it right to move to | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
the new premises? Have you tried to be too ambitious? I was not here at | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
the time. Was it right? I cannot comment on the thought process | :18:02. | :18:12. | |
behind it, but we have a test ahead of it -- head of us now. There is | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
no reason why, Hull is a major city in Britain, and in a region such as | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
East Yorkshire and Humber, that area should not have a producing | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
theatre. Of course we should have that. You want people to pay a | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
little bit more than previously? Do think they will? I know they will. | :18:35. | :18:45. | |
:18:45. | :18:46. | ||
We have seen the evidence of that. The fund-raising campaign is an | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
opportunity for local individuals and businesses to invest in the | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
future. If people do not use this theatre, will they lose it? For me, | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
there is a sense that our audience need to use it or there is the risk | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
that they will lose it. Andrew Smaje talking to me earlier. | :19:08. | :19:18. | |

Kirk Yeaman could return to Hull FC's side on Saturday despite | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
suffering a leg - it -- despite suffering an epileptic fit against | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
Wakefield on Saturday. Dramatic scenes indeed. Kirk Yeaman has | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
thanked Hull FC supporters today after that dressing room drama at | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Wakefield. His progress will be monitored during the week. He could | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
make an immediate return to decide on Friday night against St Helens. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
There was no sign of the drama to come as he scored an early try. But, | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
in the dressing-room at half-time, he suffered an epileptic fit and | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
was treated by the club doctor. Potentially, that could derail the | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
team. Our doctor handled the whole situation very well. | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
Hull FC went on to secure a victory which boosts their play-off hopes. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
One campaign group said today it is no more dangerous for epilepsy | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
sufferers to player can do it -- to play a contact sport like rugby | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
league than anyone else. There is no reason why any of young people | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
with epilepsy cannot go on to succeed in sport or any other area | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
of work. Kirk Yeaman thanked fans after she was inundated with | :20:52. | :21:02. | |

every spare moment on his pride and joy. He is now travelling from | :24:40. | :24:46. | |

excess of 160 miles an hour. It has taken painstaking work to build, | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
