:00:55. > :01:00.ambulances to respond to calls is unacceptable and needs to change -
:01:00. > :01:02.so says the council body which oversees the service. East Midlands
:01:02. > :01:11.Ambulance Service runs in several counties but recent figures showed
:01:11. > :01:13.that in Lincolnshire it's failing to meet government targets. Now,

:01:38. > :01:42.ambulance was called but it took 40 minutes to arrive. It exceeded the
:01:42. > :01:47.response target that had been said by the government.
:01:47. > :01:51.Why they were so late coming... They talked to us the whole time
:01:51. > :01:54.and kept saying it won't be long, it won't be long, but in that time
:01:54. > :01:59.it could so easily have gone the other way.
:01:59. > :02:02.The service is provided by East Midlands Ambulance Service, and
:02:02. > :02:08.while response times in areas like north and north-east Lincolnshire
:02:08. > :02:13.are being mat, it is rural Lincolnshire where it has failed.
:02:13. > :02:20.The national target for response times under eight minutes is 75 %,

:02:33. > :02:36.body which oversees the service says it is not acceptable and have
:02:36. > :02:39.now called East Midlands Ambulance Service to a meeting on Wednesday
:02:39. > :02:46.to explain why things are going wrong.
:02:46. > :02:50.They are disturbing, to have a target of only 95% and only hit 86%
:02:50. > :02:53.is worrying. The committee needs to be to the bottom of this.
:02:53. > :02:56.East Midlands Ambulance Service say the problems are caused by the
:02:56. > :03:01.rural nature of the county, a factor which is now being
:03:01. > :03:07.considered. We have tree art points on the east
:03:07. > :03:12.coast. At this time, where we know we have a high volume of course, we

:03:26. > :03:30.as to how and where the cash is being spent.
:03:30. > :03:33.We'd like to hear from you if you've got a story to tell on this
:03:33. > :03:37.one. Have you or a loved one been kept waiting for an ambulance in
:03:37. > :03:47.Lincolnshire? Or maybe your experience is the opposite. Are

:04:13. > :04:15.it's called, was put up near The Deep to commemorate lost fishermen.
:04:16. > :04:18.Its sister statue is in Iceland. The solid bronze statue weighs more

:04:29. > :04:31.
:04:31. > :04:35.those responsible. Sarah Burton has Unveiled in 2006 as a tribute to
:04:36. > :04:40.those who braved the perils of the sea, but today the Voyage was gone
:04:40. > :04:44.with just the plinth left standing. Passers-by were stunned at the
:04:44. > :04:49.theft, which happened on Nelson Street last night.
:04:49. > :04:54.It is just a plinth alone to celebrate the trading. As I
:04:54. > :04:58.understand, there's missing from the top which has been stolen. It
:04:58. > :05:02.is a shame, really. I would like to know more about it.
:05:02. > :05:06.The mayor have described it as a desecration to the memory of those
:05:06. > :05:10.who died. It is like throwing a pot of paint
:05:10. > :05:14.at the Cenotaph. But it is worse because this thing has gone
:05:14. > :05:20.altogether. It was a memorial to last Seafarers, and really a symbol
:05:20. > :05:25.of the connections between Hull and Iceland which go back centuries.
:05:25. > :05:30.Historians say this kind of theft is a massive problem.
:05:30. > :05:34.This is becoming more popular. Some of the most historic buildings have
:05:34. > :05:37.been targeted. This is just the latest one. It is unfortunate that
:05:37. > :05:43.they have chosen such a popular statue.
:05:43. > :05:48.As Hull's rich fishing heritage remains in the minds of those who
:05:48. > :05:58.will remember, Sally is seen this iconic sculpture has now gone in

:06:00. > :06:04.Joining me is the former President of the British Fishermen's
:06:04. > :06:08.Association. Good evening to you. The statue was put there to
:06:08. > :06:13.remember, wasn't it? It was. It was there to remember
:06:13. > :06:19.6,000 men. So, an important day when the statue was put up?
:06:19. > :06:24.certainly was. The city, being a great maritime city, it is a great
:06:24. > :06:29.loss. I don't know what message it sends to the people of Hull and the
:06:29. > :06:32.Icelandic people, that somebody can stoop so low to steal something
:06:32. > :06:37.that was a memorial to six other people.
:06:37. > :06:42.Made of bronze - hardly easy to steal.
:06:42. > :06:46.There must have been more than one of them. They do not realise what
:06:46. > :06:51.they have taken, what it means to some of these people.
:06:51. > :06:57.So significant? It is. I was 23 years fishing in
:06:57. > :07:07.Iceland. I say sorry to the people of Iceland, because they are good
:07:07. > :07:07.
:07:07. > :07:10.people. It must make you very sad. Yes. I
:07:10. > :07:16.appeal to these people with a conscience and hope they can just
:07:16. > :07:19.call to the police and say where it is to be found. It has a lot of
:07:19. > :07:26.bearing to the city of Hull. If those responsible for doing this
:07:26. > :07:34.are watching, and there's a chance they are, what do you stage again?
:07:34. > :07:41.I would say there's 6,000 members there, and that is what we member -
:07:41. > :07:47.- remember them by. Let's have this one back. I do appeal to them
:07:47. > :07:55.sincerely. I just hope they're conscious -- their conscience
:07:56. > :08:04.And this is another one I'm sure you've got a view on, too. There's
:08:05. > :08:07.the email and text details on The family of a woman from Hollym
:08:07. > :08:11.near Withernsea who's been missing for three days are asking the
:08:12. > :08:16.public to help them find her. Police have been searching for
:08:16. > :08:19.Marlene Wagstaff since Friday, when she left her house to go for a walk.
:08:19. > :08:21.She suffers from Alzheimer's. Today officers moved their search to just
:08:21. > :08:31.outside Withernsea, where the 77- year-old was spotted on Saturday
:08:31. > :08:41.afternoon. She is 77 but very sprightly for
:08:41. > :08:44.her age. She likes to go for walks. She knows a lot of people in the
:08:44. > :08:48.community. Everybody looks out for her.
:08:48. > :08:53.We appeal to members of the public, farmers and local businesses -
:08:53. > :09:03.please check your buildings, stores, and however small a piece of
:09:03. > :09:07.
:09:07. > :09:10.information you have, please give us a call.
:09:10. > :09:13.A number of people in Bridlington are calling for seagulls to be

:09:23. > :09:30.Philip Norton has spent the day there and he joins us now. What has
:09:30. > :09:33.been happening, Philip? The problem is down to the hundreds
:09:33. > :09:37.of see goals here and Bridlington. This is one of the worst-hit areas,
:09:37. > :09:41.by the harbour. You can see them flying around. They are getting
:09:41. > :09:47.more and more aggressive in their search for food. So aggressive, in
:09:47. > :09:52.fact, they have now left two people in hospital with serious injuries.
:09:52. > :09:57.Frightened to go out after an attack by a seagull. It just flew
:09:57. > :10:05.at me. It came down the path behind me and hit me. I turned around to
:10:05. > :10:11.come back and it came back at me. I try to hit it with my walking stick.

:10:46. > :10:55.is predicting a state. They are diving at you and they are
:10:55. > :11:05.At the harbour, people say the birds are now attacking at random,
:11:05. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:15.including one which left a man with The seagull, I saw this seagull
:11:16. > :11:20.attack the man. It actually put his claws into the man's head. He came
:11:20. > :11:23.down the steps with blood pouring from his head.
:11:23. > :11:29.Signs won the visitors not to feed the sea gulls but many are still
:11:29. > :11:34.getting a daily diet of fish and chips. If people did not feed them,
:11:34. > :11:37.they would not be such a nuisance. The council said it is aware of the
:11:37. > :11:41.problem. Attacks by sea gulls are very rare
:11:41. > :11:46.indeed. But people can take steps themselves not to feed the sea
:11:46. > :11:50.gulls and put any leftover food in the bins provided.
:11:50. > :11:54.So, no immediate plans for a cull, but patients from the public is
:11:54. > :11:58.wearing thin. Do we know why the birds seem to be
:11:58. > :12:03.getting so aggressive at the moment?
:12:03. > :12:06.Part of the problem, Peter, is that it is the breeding season for sea
:12:06. > :12:12.gulls. Many of these problems can be because the adults are trying to
:12:12. > :12:15.protect their young. We have spoken to the RSPB today. They say the
:12:15. > :12:18.behaviour is normal. The advice, if you are visiting the seaside - do
:12:18. > :12:24.not feed the birds. Try to take litter home with you because they
:12:24. > :12:30.are scavengers as well. Also, try to make sure you stay away from any
:12:30. > :12:34.of the young birds you may see. The fillet, thank you very much. --

:13:46. > :13:50.situation. Pressure is high so we are not expecting too much in the

:13:59. > :14:04.or drizzle for a time, especially towards the coast. We are looking
:14:04. > :14:08.at a lot of cloud. Any sunshine at a premium. A lot of cloud this
:14:08. > :14:13.evening, just a chance of one or two showers in the West. These will
:14:13. > :14:18.fizzle out and then the thick cloud will bring some patchy rain and

:19:17. > :19:24.defeat. Well, like I say, I was at the KC earlier to meet up with Adam
:19:24. > :19:29.Pearson. I started by asking him why he bought Hull FC. It is a big
:19:29. > :19:33.Super League club. It has got great potential. Has been well run but it
:19:33. > :19:39.needs a little bit more ambition and Investment. That is her plea

:19:43. > :19:49.The cap minimises the amount of investment, but we want to look at
:19:49. > :19:54.recruitment, and have a real go. It takes time to build a real team but

:20:47. > :20:55.we will sit down and we have got some good players coming and. There
