:00:04. > :00:07.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:
:00:07. > :00:17.Not welcome in Lincolnshire - a group of migrant workers living are
:00:17. > :00:18.
:00:18. > :00:25.expelled from the county for anti- social behaviour. They do not play
:00:25. > :00:28.a part in our community. It is all take but no good.
:00:28. > :00:36.After flash flooding deluged homes in Goole, there are fresh claims
:00:37. > :00:40.vital pumping equipment failed. Join me live where Hull City are
:00:40. > :00:43.preparing to kick-off a new football season.
:00:43. > :00:50.Hoping to the first of her kind - we meet the Lincolnshire woman
:00:50. > :01:00.attempting a 300 mile international challenge.
:01:00. > :01:02.
:01:02. > :01:07.And join me for the weather later in the programme.
:01:07. > :01:12.And good evening. A group of homeless migrant workers have been
:01:12. > :01:17.deported up for anti-social behaviour. The three Lithuanian so
:01:17. > :01:25.had been arrested and were causing a nuisance to businesses. Now, in a
:01:25. > :01:30.rare move, the local council has used European law to expel them.
:01:30. > :01:34.The three homeless migrants have been blamed for shoplifting and
:01:34. > :01:40.anti-social behaviour. They were expelled after ignoring police
:01:40. > :01:47.warnings. Local businesses have welcomed the move. The expulsion
:01:47. > :01:51.has helped. We really do notice the difference. They had already been
:01:51. > :01:55.charged by the police for shoplifting and public order
:01:55. > :02:00.offences. We will not tolerate this sort of behaviour from anybody.
:02:00. > :02:04.Hopefully we have resolved the issue in the short term. The
:02:04. > :02:13.feedback from members of the public and traders in the town has been
:02:13. > :02:22.very positive. Support workers say deportation is sometimes the only
:02:22. > :02:27.option. When it goes on a long-term, you say, we cannot make progress,
:02:27. > :02:31.so they are going to perhaps spiral downwards and get into trouble.
:02:31. > :02:36.Migrants who have lost their jobs have been offered free flights home,
:02:36. > :02:41.as have those in this case. But, in this case, the three refused that
:02:41. > :02:47.offer, and it because it is claimed they refuse to look for work, the
:02:47. > :02:51.UK Border Agency said it had been right, under European law, to expel
:02:51. > :02:55.them. We cannot run round the country expelling people just
:02:55. > :03:01.because they are not working. But, if they are not working, and they
:03:01. > :03:06.are stealing, and living rough, expelling them was absolutely, in
:03:06. > :03:11.this case, the answer. But this MP believes European law
:03:11. > :03:16.should not have been used to expel them. He thinks they should have
:03:16. > :03:24.faced a criminal trial in the UK. And as European citizens, everyone
:03:24. > :03:30.has the right of free movement. You cannot discriminate against some
:03:30. > :03:33.body that you could not use against a national in your own country.
:03:33. > :03:39.Economic pressures and a competition for jobs means migrant
:03:39. > :03:44.homelessness is likely to continue in Lincolnshire. Rare though this
:03:44. > :03:48.cases, it is unlikely to be the last of its kind.
:03:48. > :03:53.Don Flynn is the director for the Migrants' Rights Network. I asked
:03:53. > :03:58.him what his reaction was to the deportation of the homeless migrant
:03:59. > :04:02.workers. We have to be concerned about it. They are European
:04:02. > :04:09.Community nationals. They were exercising a European Community
:04:09. > :04:15.rides. If they had been unemployed as well. The view taken by the
:04:15. > :04:22.authorities, you cease to exercise European Community night on
:04:22. > :04:27.becoming unemployed, that is wrong. People were made vulnerable to
:04:27. > :04:32.deportation for that reason. should they have been deported?
:04:32. > :04:36.view is that they should not had been deported. There have been
:04:36. > :04:41.cases in the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the High Court which
:04:41. > :04:47.have dealt with this issue. these three shoplifters, abused
:04:47. > :04:51.people, they were drunk in the streets, and still refuse to go
:04:51. > :04:56.home. I used saying they should be allowed to stay? I am sure there
:04:56. > :05:00.were many problems with them. These are common, anti-social issues that
:05:00. > :05:05.cause concern. The issue is whether deportation was the proper way to
:05:05. > :05:12.deal with them. But why should they stay there if they have been
:05:12. > :05:16.charged, been jailed at the expense of the British taxpayer? The law is
:05:16. > :05:23.clear about the circumstances in which people lose their rights to
:05:23. > :05:28.exercise free movement. Misdemeanours, shoplifting, anti-
:05:28. > :05:33.social behaviour, these do not constitute the sort of offences
:05:33. > :05:36.which permit people to lose their right for free movement. So they
:05:36. > :05:41.should have been allowed to stay here and go through the court
:05:41. > :05:49.system? This is not my view, this is the view of the courts. There
:05:49. > :05:55.has been a very important case in June which dealt with similar fact.
:05:55. > :06:03.The courts did it ruled that deportation was disproportionate.
:06:03. > :06:08.And it was unlawful. I think it is a danger, that the council have got
:06:08. > :06:14.themselves into. They might have taken an action which is deemed to
:06:14. > :06:19.be unlawful. Thank you very much indeed for talking to us.
:06:19. > :06:26.What do you think? Is the council right to deport the migrant workers
:06:26. > :06:36.when they cause trouble, or is that they discrimination? What other
:06:36. > :06:49.
:06:49. > :06:52.In a moment: As local MPS are split over a
:06:52. > :07:01.return to the death penalty, there are calls to let the public have
:07:01. > :07:05.the final say. It is claimed a pumping station
:07:05. > :07:13.managed by Yorkshire Water could have failed during flash floods
:07:13. > :07:16.which inundated homes in East Yorkshire. The local MP and Goole &
:07:16. > :07:22.Airmyn Internal Drainage Board have told Look North they believe the
:07:22. > :07:25.station may have stopped working during Wednesday's floods. We have
:07:26. > :07:35.asked the Yorkshire walked about this, but they have not responded
:07:36. > :07:36.
:07:36. > :07:40.to our direct questions. -- Yorkshire Water.
:07:40. > :07:46.Two weeks of rain fell on Goole on Wednesday, but there were further
:07:46. > :07:49.claims that it was not just the ferocity that caused flooding.
:07:49. > :07:54.Graham works for the Goole & Airmyn Internal Drainage Board. Initial
:07:54. > :08:00.period of time, these pumps went off. How do you know? From what my
:08:00. > :08:04.pump attendant told me and other board members have told me. If they
:08:04. > :08:08.have got nothing to hide, Yorkshire Water would be more than delighted
:08:08. > :08:16.to show me information. Resident who are insured were
:08:16. > :08:20.counting the cost. I am not insured, but that is my problem not somebody
:08:20. > :08:29.else's. What was your lot of money to replace everything? To replace
:08:29. > :08:34.two bedrooms, a living-room, kitchen, bathroom, hallway, quite a
:08:34. > :08:38.bit. They rely on the young ones to come out, but even the elderly once
:08:38. > :08:42.worked out with shovels tried to get the water away.
:08:42. > :08:47.In a statement, Yorkshire Water told us they empathise with the
:08:47. > :08:52.residence. They say in line with any extreme weather event, they are
:08:52. > :08:56.investigating how their systems work. Yorkshire Water denied there
:08:56. > :09:01.has been a problem with any pumping stations. We asked them to prove
:09:01. > :09:07.this by providing Look North with a computer record on how their palms
:09:07. > :09:15.third -- fed on Wednesday night. But they have been a unable to do
:09:15. > :09:18.this. -- fared. Lots of you got in touch after last
:09:18. > :09:21.night's programme. Sim in Scunthorpe says, it is a sad thing
:09:21. > :09:25.for those affected, but we will see more floods as more new houses are
:09:25. > :09:28.built. This puts strain on drains with concrete everywhere. Sarah
:09:28. > :09:33.from Grimsby says, I can't believe people have been flooded again. My
:09:33. > :09:38.heart goes out to them, especially those that can't get insured. The
:09:38. > :09:41.government should offer house insurance for them. And Mark
:09:41. > :09:44.Wainman tweeted to say, it just goes to show, if the rain comes
:09:44. > :09:50.down like that, history will repeat itself. There is nothing we can do
:09:50. > :09:52.about it. A man from Scunthorpe has been
:09:52. > :09:56.given a five-year anti-social behaviour order banning him from
:09:56. > :10:01.the town centre. 43-year-old Stephen Golubovic has been caught
:10:01. > :10:05.shop lifting a number of times. Humberside Police say he has caused
:10:05. > :10:08.a large amount of stress for retail staff who work in the town.
:10:08. > :10:10.Student nurses who were withdrawn from Boston's Pilgrim Hospital have
:10:10. > :10:16.been told they will continue their placements at Lincoln County
:10:16. > :10:18.Hospital and bases in Mansfield and Nottingham. Last week all student
:10:19. > :10:22.nurses were told to leave Boston after the Nursing and Midwifery
:10:22. > :10:26.Council said it had serious concerns over training. They have
:10:26. > :10:28.yet to explain the exact nature of their concerns.
:10:28. > :10:32.A family farm that has been a tourist attraction in East
:10:32. > :10:35.Yorkshire for more than 20 years is to close after an outbreak of
:10:35. > :10:39.E.coli. Cruckley Animal Farm near Driffield has been linked to six
:10:39. > :10:42.cases of the bug and now its owners have decided to close the business.
:10:42. > :10:47.An investigation is still underway to establish exactly how the people
:10:47. > :10:50.affected fell ill. The phone companies behind plans
:10:50. > :10:53.for a mobile phone mast in East Hull say there is no alternative
:10:53. > :10:56.site for the transmitter, despite a three-month protest by local
:10:56. > :11:00.residents. Campaigners have been running a 24-hour demonstration on
:11:00. > :11:04.Summergangs Road. They are worried transmissions from the mast will
:11:04. > :11:14.damage their health. Experts say there is no hard evidence to
:11:14. > :11:16.
:11:16. > :11:20.support those claims. There are calls for a referendum on
:11:21. > :11:25.whether we should bring back the death penalty. The Tory MP Andrew
:11:25. > :11:29.Percy says the public should have the final say on the matter.
:11:29. > :11:35.Thousands have signed an online petition calling for Parliament to
:11:35. > :11:39.debate the capital punishment, but the majority remain opposed to its
:11:39. > :11:43.reintroduction. Here is our political editor.
:11:43. > :11:48.Almost half a century has passed since murderers were last hanged in
:11:48. > :11:54.this country, but there remains support for the death penalty among
:11:54. > :12:01.a large section of the public. Do you think the best -- death penalty
:12:02. > :12:06.should be restored? Yes, in some cases. For example, people going to
:12:06. > :12:10.prison for sex offences. The you think this should bring back the
:12:10. > :12:15.death penalty? Yes, because it would deter people from not doing
:12:15. > :12:21.the act in the first place. The death penalty is the most
:12:21. > :12:24.popular topic on the government's new petition has a website. Is

:12:29. > :12:36.will be debated in Parliament. not think politicians should take
:12:36. > :12:39.this decision. It is where the public feel law should said. I
:12:39. > :12:45.would have a referendum on this and let people decide.
:12:45. > :12:51.Car but will punishment was abolished in the 19 Sixties --
:12:51. > :12:59.capital punishment. The last person to be hanged in Hull prison was a
:12:59. > :13:04.Lincolnshire woman. She killed her husband, Arthur, by poisoning his
:13:04. > :13:11.corned beef, and there are many who argue the death penalty should
:13:11. > :13:17.remain a part of history. Courts make mistakes. I am a lawyer myself.
:13:17. > :13:21.I have seen errors in a law, and it would be dreadful to think that
:13:21. > :13:26.somebody has been killed for an offence they have not committed. It
:13:26. > :13:32.is completely uncivilised, and I would be against reintroducing it.
:13:32. > :13:37.So borders of the death penalty accept the chances are they being
:13:37. > :13:47.reinstated to be unlikely. But many are argued that Parliament should

:13:59. > :14:05.people in the legal possession saying -- profession saying? I have
:14:05. > :14:12.not conducted an opinion poll, but I would imagine that most people

:14:15. > :14:23.people are in favour of capital punishment. Would you agree with
:14:23. > :14:29.that? No. The one not? I am opposed on ethical and moral grounds. There

:14:49. > :14:56.on a lot since capital punishment was abolished in the 1960s. We have
:14:56. > :15:04.DNA evidence. I do not necessarily agree with that. If there was to be
:15:04. > :15:12.a fail-safe system, and everyone who was found guilty was 100 %
:15:12. > :15:17.guilty, a bid still be a place. MPs cannot ignore public opinion, and
:15:17. > :15:23.this is about getting the matter debated yet again in Parliament.
:15:23. > :15:31.you agree with it being debated? think if 100,000 signatures of
:15:31. > :15:36.there, and public -- parliament on to debated, it would do so. There
:15:36. > :15:41.is a financial debate as well. The likes of Peter Sutcliffe being kept
:15:41. > :15:45.in prison for the rest of their lives. I think that is a terrible
:15:45. > :15:55.argument, pitting the price of a life on someone. It is a cheaper
:15:55. > :16:00.
:16:01. > :16:04.way of disposing of them. Why not let the people decide? I think he
:16:05. > :16:11.wants permission for the public to decide is one particular thing.
:16:12. > :16:16.This referendum. I am not going to back this up, but far and sure this
:16:16. > :16:20.has never been put to a referendum, because MPs are rather concerned
:16:20. > :16:24.that the public will want it back again. I am sure we will be talking
:16:25. > :16:34.about this. It will go on for some time. Let me know what you think.
:16:35. > :16:42.
:16:42. > :16:45.Do you think we should be having a The time is 6:45pm. Not long to go
:16:45. > :16:53.until the big kick-off. Hull City are getting the new football season
:16:53. > :17:01.under way. The Lincolnshire women preparing for one of the most
:17:01. > :17:11.gruelling challenges in the world. Tonight's photo is of cliffs. It

:17:28. > :17:35.don't you? You were very friendly towards the last night. -- towards
:17:35. > :17:37.me. A I am scared to talk you tonight! Do you want to make things
:17:37. > :17:42.tonight! Do you want to make things worse? I will move on with the
:17:42. > :17:47.forecast. It has been a beautiful day today with lots of sunshine. It
:17:47. > :17:50.is going to be -- I would love to say he would be the same at the
:17:50. > :17:53.weekend, but we are looking at heavy showers on Saturday. The low-
:17:53. > :18:02.pressure is never too far away as we move into the weekend. We have
:18:02. > :18:10.frequent showers. There's not too much in the way of cloud around
:18:10. > :18:20.today. Sunny spells as we head into the evening. There will be a few
:18:20. > :18:30.showers at dawn tomorrow. Temperatures around 13 degrees.

:18:33. > :18:38.These are the times of the high Tomorrow, there will be early

:18:45. > :18:53.show was will turn out to be heavy. -- some of the showers. There will
:18:53. > :19:01.be showers in the northern parts. 18 or 19 degrees, but Lincolnshire
:19:01. > :19:11.should see some dry weather. May be either -- maybe even some brighter

:19:17. > :19:23.There is a weather warning on Saturday for the rain. Temperatures
:19:23. > :19:31.staying below average. I think it is easier if I do not talk to. It
:19:31. > :19:35.is too dangerous! Have a nice Hull City bring up the curtain on
:19:36. > :19:42.the new Football League season with the opening game of the season
:19:42. > :19:51.against Blackpool. Our sports reporter Damien Johnson is at the
:19:51. > :19:55.KC Stadium. The atmosphere is building nicely. It is a balmy
:19:55. > :20:02.evening here. It feels like five minutes ago that it was just coming
:20:02. > :20:10.to an end. Blackpool is getting -- Hull City and blackball are getting
:20:10. > :20:15.the season under way. It is a new look team for Hull City. Wise and
:20:15. > :20:22.methodical will be the best way described the preparation. There
:20:22. > :20:28.has been little fan fire -- fanfare about the new signings. Supporters
:20:28. > :20:33.are quietly optimistic. I hope it is straight promotion. If we get to
:20:33. > :20:42.the play-offs, are will be happy. think we will get in the play-offs
:20:42. > :20:46.at least, but I hope we don't fall apart. I don't think the play-
:20:46. > :20:54.offs... I do not think they are ready for going up into the Premier
:20:54. > :21:04.ready for going up into the Premier League again. This veteran striker
:21:04. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:22.We have balance and scored with experience and young players. I
:21:22. > :21:25.think we have really proved the -- improved the quality of the squad.
:21:25. > :21:30.The Tigers remained unbeaten in their pre-season fixtures. They
:21:31. > :21:35.beat Liverpool and beat Chesterfield and Bradford City. One
:21:35. > :21:44.of the new arrivals said they need to get on to -- have a good start
:21:44. > :21:50.to the new season. We did quite well at the start of the season. We
:21:50. > :21:56.are keen and looking forward to it. The key could be how quickly the
:21:56. > :22:00.new signings settle in. There is hope that they will put in a
:22:00. > :22:07.serious title challenge. How much of the challenge of apple going to
:22:07. > :22:10.be tonight? Quite a big challenge. You'll will remember -- you will
:22:10. > :22:13.remember that they were in the Premier League last season. Many
:22:14. > :22:18.people thought they would go straight back down, and dated, but
:22:18. > :22:22.they put a good fight of it, going down on the last day against
:22:22. > :22:28.Manchester United. They have bought some new players. Ian Holloway is a
:22:28. > :22:32.very thorough man, and gets his team organised. It will be no means
:22:32. > :22:37.plain sailing for Hull City when they kick-off the new season at the
:22:37. > :22:43.KC Stadium. 7:45pm kick-off and expectation building nicely. Thank
:22:43. > :22:49.you very much indeed, and BBC Radio Humberside will be at all of Hull
:22:49. > :22:59.City's gains over this do coming season. As far as tonight is
:22:59. > :23:00.
:23:00. > :23:10.concerned, the build up is already on BBC Radio Humberside right now.
:23:10. > :23:15.
:23:15. > :23:25.Kick-off at 7:45pm. Scunthorpe's first game will be on BBC Radio

:23:30. > :23:35.Nowton -- known to man. But now Lincoln has the first woman having
:23:35. > :23:40.a go at completing it. Rachael Cadman from RAF Cranwell will be

:23:47. > :23:53.planning to do it in less than five days. We have been to meet her.
:23:53. > :23:57.Imagine getting ready to push your body to the absolute limit. To be
:23:58. > :24:01.about to face a challenge so demanding, only seven men have
:24:01. > :24:11.completed it in the last 10 years. Imagine being the first woman to

:24:16. > :24:21.30-year-old fight Lieutenant Rachael Cadman could be the first
:24:21. > :24:27.woman to complete the gruelling Arch To Arc Challenge. To do it,
:24:27. > :24:34.she will need to start at Marble Arch in London and run 87 miles to
:24:34. > :24:42.Dover. From Dover, she will need to swim the English Channel, a further
:24:42. > :24:47.distance of 22 miles, then cycle 180 miles to the Arc de Triomphe in
:24:47. > :24:52.Paris. All in five days. The achievement of it will be fantastic.
:24:52. > :24:57.That motivates me every day. To be the first woman to do it per be
