Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
Not welcome in Lincolnshire - a group of migrant workers living are | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
:00:17. | :00:18. | ||
expelled from the county for anti- social behaviour. They do not play | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
a part in our community. It is all take but no good. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
After flash flooding deluged homes in Goole, there are fresh claims | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
vital pumping equipment failed. Join me live where Hull City are | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
preparing to kick-off a new football season. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Hoping to the first of her kind - we meet the Lincolnshire woman | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
attempting a 300 mile international challenge. | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
:01:00. | :01:02. | ||
And join me for the weather later in the programme. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
And good evening. A group of homeless migrant workers have been | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
deported up for anti-social behaviour. The three Lithuanian so | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
had been arrested and were causing a nuisance to businesses. Now, in a | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
rare move, the local council has used European law to expel them. | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
The three homeless migrants have been blamed for shoplifting and | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
anti-social behaviour. They were expelled after ignoring police | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
warnings. Local businesses have welcomed the move. The expulsion | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
has helped. We really do notice the difference. They had already been | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
charged by the police for shoplifting and public order | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
offences. We will not tolerate this sort of behaviour from anybody. | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
Hopefully we have resolved the issue in the short term. The | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
feedback from members of the public and traders in the town has been | :02:04. | :02:13. | |
very positive. Support workers say deportation is sometimes the only | :02:13. | :02:22. | |
option. When it goes on a long-term, you say, we cannot make progress, | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
so they are going to perhaps spiral downwards and get into trouble. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
Migrants who have lost their jobs have been offered free flights home, | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
as have those in this case. But, in this case, the three refused that | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
offer, and it because it is claimed they refuse to look for work, the | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
UK Border Agency said it had been right, under European law, to expel | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
them. We cannot run round the country expelling people just | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
because they are not working. But, if they are not working, and they | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
are stealing, and living rough, expelling them was absolutely, in | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
this case, the answer. But this MP believes European law | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
should not have been used to expel them. He thinks they should have | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
faced a criminal trial in the UK. And as European citizens, everyone | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
has the right of free movement. You cannot discriminate against some | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
body that you could not use against a national in your own country. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Economic pressures and a competition for jobs means migrant | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
homelessness is likely to continue in Lincolnshire. Rare though this | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
cases, it is unlikely to be the last of its kind. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Don Flynn is the director for the Migrants' Rights Network. I asked | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
him what his reaction was to the deportation of the homeless migrant | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
workers. We have to be concerned about it. They are European | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Community nationals. They were exercising a European Community | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
rides. If they had been unemployed as well. The view taken by the | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
authorities, you cease to exercise European Community night on | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
becoming unemployed, that is wrong. People were made vulnerable to | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
deportation for that reason. should they have been deported? | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
view is that they should not had been deported. There have been | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
cases in the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the High Court which | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
have dealt with this issue. these three shoplifters, abused | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
people, they were drunk in the streets, and still refuse to go | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
home. I used saying they should be allowed to stay? I am sure there | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
were many problems with them. These are common, anti-social issues that | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
cause concern. The issue is whether deportation was the proper way to | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
deal with them. But why should they stay there if they have been | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
charged, been jailed at the expense of the British taxpayer? The law is | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
clear about the circumstances in which people lose their rights to | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
exercise free movement. Misdemeanours, shoplifting, anti- | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
social behaviour, these do not constitute the sort of offences | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
which permit people to lose their right for free movement. So they | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
should have been allowed to stay here and go through the court | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
system? This is not my view, this is the view of the courts. There | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
has been a very important case in June which dealt with similar fact. | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
The courts did it ruled that deportation was disproportionate. | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
And it was unlawful. I think it is a danger, that the council have got | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
themselves into. They might have taken an action which is deemed to | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
be unlawful. Thank you very much indeed for talking to us. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
What do you think? Is the council right to deport the migrant workers | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
when they cause trouble, or is that they discrimination? What other | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
:06:36. | :06:49. | ||
In a moment: As local MPS are split over a | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
return to the death penalty, there are calls to let the public have | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
the final say. It is claimed a pumping station | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
managed by Yorkshire Water could have failed during flash floods | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
which inundated homes in East Yorkshire. The local MP and Goole & | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Airmyn Internal Drainage Board have told Look North they believe the | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
station may have stopped working during Wednesday's floods. We have | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
asked the Yorkshire walked about this, but they have not responded | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
:07:36. | :07:36. | ||
to our direct questions. -- Yorkshire Water. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Two weeks of rain fell on Goole on Wednesday, but there were further | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
claims that it was not just the ferocity that caused flooding. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Graham works for the Goole & Airmyn Internal Drainage Board. Initial | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
period of time, these pumps went off. How do you know? From what my | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
pump attendant told me and other board members have told me. If they | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
have got nothing to hide, Yorkshire Water would be more than delighted | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
to show me information. Resident who are insured were | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
counting the cost. I am not insured, but that is my problem not somebody | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
else's. What was your lot of money to replace everything? To replace | :08:20. | :08:29. | |
two bedrooms, a living-room, kitchen, bathroom, hallway, quite a | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
bit. They rely on the young ones to come out, but even the elderly once | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
worked out with shovels tried to get the water away. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
In a statement, Yorkshire Water told us they empathise with the | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
residence. They say in line with any extreme weather event, they are | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
investigating how their systems work. Yorkshire Water denied there | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
has been a problem with any pumping stations. We asked them to prove | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
this by providing Look North with a computer record on how their palms | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
third -- fed on Wednesday night. But they have been a unable to do | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
this. -- fared. Lots of you got in touch after last | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
night's programme. Sim in Scunthorpe says, it is a sad thing | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
for those affected, but we will see more floods as more new houses are | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
built. This puts strain on drains with concrete everywhere. Sarah | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
from Grimsby says, I can't believe people have been flooded again. My | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
heart goes out to them, especially those that can't get insured. The | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
government should offer house insurance for them. And Mark | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Wainman tweeted to say, it just goes to show, if the rain comes | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
down like that, history will repeat itself. There is nothing we can do | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
about it. A man from Scunthorpe has been | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
given a five-year anti-social behaviour order banning him from | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
the town centre. 43-year-old Stephen Golubovic has been caught | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
shop lifting a number of times. Humberside Police say he has caused | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
a large amount of stress for retail staff who work in the town. | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Student nurses who were withdrawn from Boston's Pilgrim Hospital have | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
been told they will continue their placements at Lincoln County | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
Hospital and bases in Mansfield and Nottingham. Last week all student | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
nurses were told to leave Boston after the Nursing and Midwifery | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Council said it had serious concerns over training. They have | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
yet to explain the exact nature of their concerns. | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
A family farm that has been a tourist attraction in East | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Yorkshire for more than 20 years is to close after an outbreak of | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
E.coli. Cruckley Animal Farm near Driffield has been linked to six | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
cases of the bug and now its owners have decided to close the business. | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
An investigation is still underway to establish exactly how the people | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
affected fell ill. The phone companies behind plans | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
for a mobile phone mast in East Hull say there is no alternative | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
site for the transmitter, despite a three-month protest by local | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
residents. Campaigners have been running a 24-hour demonstration on | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Summergangs Road. They are worried transmissions from the mast will | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
damage their health. Experts say there is no hard evidence to | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
:11:14. | :11:16. | ||
support those claims. There are calls for a referendum on | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
whether we should bring back the death penalty. The Tory MP Andrew | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Percy says the public should have the final say on the matter. | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Thousands have signed an online petition calling for Parliament to | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
debate the capital punishment, but the majority remain opposed to its | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
reintroduction. Here is our political editor. | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
Almost half a century has passed since murderers were last hanged in | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
this country, but there remains support for the death penalty among | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
a large section of the public. Do you think the best -- death penalty | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
should be restored? Yes, in some cases. For example, people going to | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
prison for sex offences. The you think this should bring back the | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
death penalty? Yes, because it would deter people from not doing | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
the act in the first place. The death penalty is the most | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
popular topic on the government's new petition has a website. Is | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
facing competition attracts more than 100,000 signatures, the issue | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
will be debated in Parliament. not think politicians should take | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
this decision. It is where the public feel law should said. I | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
would have a referendum on this and let people decide. | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
Car but will punishment was abolished in the 19 Sixties -- | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
capital punishment. The last person to be hanged in Hull prison was a | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
Lincolnshire woman. She killed her husband, Arthur, by poisoning his | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
corned beef, and there are many who argue the death penalty should | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
remain a part of history. Courts make mistakes. I am a lawyer myself. | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
I have seen errors in a law, and it would be dreadful to think that | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
somebody has been killed for an offence they have not committed. It | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
is completely uncivilised, and I would be against reintroducing it. | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
So borders of the death penalty accept the chances are they being | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
reinstated to be unlikely. But many are argued that Parliament should | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
:13:47. | :13:53. | ||
donate a subject that promotes Good evening to you. What other | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
people in the legal possession saying -- profession saying? I have | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
not conducted an opinion poll, but I would imagine that most people | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
would be anti- capital published -- punishment. Polls suggest that | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
people are in favour of capital punishment. Would you agree with | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
that? No. The one not? I am opposed on ethical and moral grounds. There | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
have been many examples the beginner cat since the death | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
penalty was abolished where we know now that many people will put to | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
death who will be has subsequently proved innocent. Science has moved | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
on a lot since capital punishment was abolished in the 1960s. We have | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
DNA evidence. I do not necessarily agree with that. If there was to be | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
a fail-safe system, and everyone who was found guilty was 100 % | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
guilty, a bid still be a place. MPs cannot ignore public opinion, and | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
this is about getting the matter debated yet again in Parliament. | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
you agree with it being debated? think if 100,000 signatures of | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
there, and public -- parliament on to debated, it would do so. There | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
is a financial debate as well. The likes of Peter Sutcliffe being kept | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
in prison for the rest of their lives. I think that is a terrible | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
argument, pitting the price of a life on someone. It is a cheaper | :15:45. | :15:55. | |
:15:55. | :16:00. | ||
way of disposing of them. Why not let the people decide? I think he | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
wants permission for the public to decide is one particular thing. | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
This referendum. I am not going to back this up, but far and sure this | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
has never been put to a referendum, because MPs are rather concerned | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
that the public will want it back again. I am sure we will be talking | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
about this. It will go on for some time. Let me know what you think. | :16:25. | :16:34. | |
:16:35. | :16:42. | ||
Do you think we should be having a The time is 6:45pm. Not long to go | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
until the big kick-off. Hull City are getting the new football season | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
under way. The Lincolnshire women preparing for one of the most | :16:53. | :17:01. | |
gruelling challenges in the world. Tonight's photo is of cliffs. It | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:16. | ||
You can see another one on Monday night at 6:45pm. You love work, | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
:17:26. | :17:28. | ||
don't you? You were very friendly towards the last night. -- towards | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
me. A I am scared to talk you tonight! Do you want to make things | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
tonight! Do you want to make things worse? I will move on with the | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
forecast. It has been a beautiful day today with lots of sunshine. It | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
is going to be -- I would love to say he would be the same at the | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
weekend, but we are looking at heavy showers on Saturday. The low- | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
pressure is never too far away as we move into the weekend. We have | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
frequent showers. There's not too much in the way of cloud around | :18:02. | :18:10. | |
today. Sunny spells as we head into the evening. There will be a few | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
showers at dawn tomorrow. Temperatures around 13 degrees. | :18:20. | :18:30. | |
:18:30. | :18:33. | ||
These are the times of the high Tomorrow, there will be early | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
brightness, but Shell has developed through the morning. Some of the | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
show was will turn out to be heavy. -- some of the showers. There will | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
be showers in the northern parts. 18 or 19 degrees, but Lincolnshire | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
should see some dry weather. May be either -- maybe even some brighter | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
:19:11. | :19:17. | ||
There is a weather warning on Saturday for the rain. Temperatures | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
staying below average. I think it is easier if I do not talk to. It | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
is too dangerous! Have a nice Hull City bring up the curtain on | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
the new Football League season with the opening game of the season | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
against Blackpool. Our sports reporter Damien Johnson is at the | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
KC Stadium. The atmosphere is building nicely. It is a balmy | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
evening here. It feels like five minutes ago that it was just coming | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
to an end. Blackpool is getting -- Hull City and blackball are getting | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
the season under way. It is a new look team for Hull City. Wise and | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
methodical will be the best way described the preparation. There | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
has been little fan fire -- fanfare about the new signings. Supporters | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
are quietly optimistic. I hope it is straight promotion. If we get to | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
the play-offs, are will be happy. think we will get in the play-offs | :20:33. | :20:42. | |
at least, but I hope we don't fall apart. I don't think the play- | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
offs... I do not think they are ready for going up into the Premier | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
ready for going up into the Premier League again. This veteran striker | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:16. | ||
We have balance and scored with experience and young players. I | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
think we have really proved the -- improved the quality of the squad. | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
The Tigers remained unbeaten in their pre-season fixtures. They | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
beat Liverpool and beat Chesterfield and Bradford City. One | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
of the new arrivals said they need to get on to -- have a good start | :21:35. | :21:44. | |
to the new season. We did quite well at the start of the season. We | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
are keen and looking forward to it. The key could be how quickly the | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
new signings settle in. There is hope that they will put in a | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
serious title challenge. How much of the challenge of apple going to | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
be tonight? Quite a big challenge. You'll will remember -- you will | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
remember that they were in the Premier League last season. Many | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
people thought they would go straight back down, and dated, but | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
they put a good fight of it, going down on the last day against | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Manchester United. They have bought some new players. Ian Holloway is a | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
very thorough man, and gets his team organised. It will be no means | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
plain sailing for Hull City when they kick-off the new season at the | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
KC Stadium. 7:45pm kick-off and expectation building nicely. Thank | :22:37. | :22:43. | |

City's gains over this do coming season. As far as tonight is | :22:49. | :22:59. | |
:22:59. | :23:00. | ||
concerned, the build up is already on BBC Radio Humberside right now. | :23:00. | :23:10. | |
:23:10. | :23:15. | ||
Kick-off at 7:45pm. Scunthorpe's first game will be on BBC Radio | :23:15. | :23:25. | |
:23:25. | :23:26. | ||
It is said to be the most gruelling and challenging endurance event | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Nowton -- known to man. But now Lincoln has the first woman having | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
a go at completing it. Rachael Cadman from RAF Cranwell will be | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
attempted to run, swim and cycle from London to Paris. She is | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
planning to do it in less than five days. We have been to meet her. | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
Imagine getting ready to push your body to the absolute limit. To be | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
about to face a challenge so demanding, only seven men have | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
completed it in the last 10 years. Imagine being the first woman to | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
:24:11. | :24:16. | ||
30-year-old fight Lieutenant Rachael Cadman could be the first | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
woman to complete the gruelling Arch To Arc Challenge. To do it, | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
she will need to start at Marble Arch in London and run 87 miles to | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
Dover. From Dover, she will need to swim the English Channel, a further | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
distance of 22 miles, then cycle 180 miles to the Arc de Triomphe in | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
Paris. All in five days. The achievement of it will be fantastic. | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
That motivates me every day. To be the first woman to do it per be | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
absolutely fantastic. I do not enjoy the pain, don't get me wrong, | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
but it is all about problem-solving when you get to the lowest depths. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
Knowing in the race that you are going to find those depth, and drag | :25:07. | :25:17. | |
yourself out of it. I like the challenge of that. Rachel's day job | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
is at RAF Cranwell. She is getting all the support she needs. There is | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
huge admiration that she is taking this huge challenge on. She has a | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
really good chance of achieving it. She has got backing, support and | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
well-wishers. She hopes to start within 13 days. If she succeeds, | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
who knows what she will put her sell-through next. -- herself | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
through next. Finally tonight, an extra photo. If you have a cat, I | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
bet that he or she is not as well house trained as Tickle, who lives | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
in Lincoln. Here is Tickle. Tickle has learned impeccable bathroom | :26:05. | :26:13. | |
habits. He uses the toilet whenever he wants! Thank you for that | :26:13. | :26:23. | |
excellent picture. Maybe he leaves the seat down as well. If you have | :26:23. | :26:31. | |
a talented pet, sent a picture in it. Let's have a recap of the main | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
national and international headlines. Maint -- new falls on | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
the markets as fears about for a new recession continued. Showers | :26:42. | :26:47. | |

Talking about the migrant workers, a text. "I am from Mafia. I have | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
been working here for many years. Why do we not send home the | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
criminals and slackers? They create such a bad impression about the | :27:16. | :27:26. | |
:27:26. | :27:27. | ||
rest of us." "if I broke the law, white -- other go through the legal | :27:28. | :27:35. |
