:00:07. > :00:12.Good evening. Welcome to the programme. The headlines: Yorkshire
:00:12. > :00:17.Water admits its pumps did not work on the night that homes in Goole
:00:18. > :00:23.flooded. The pumps have failed, but Goole flooded because of the
:00:23. > :00:29.torrential rain that came down with in two hours. A Hull MP says that
:00:29. > :00:38.cuts are causing people to right across the country. Another plan to
:00:38. > :00:45.buy the Humber Bridge. This time, from the people already run it. And
:00:45. > :00:51.the very wet Beverley races. We are suffering, but we are managing.
:00:51. > :01:01.After the rain, it is going to be a better day. It will feel milder. I
:01:01. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:10.Good evening. Yorkshire Water have admitted that they bought a
:01:10. > :01:15.Buncefield when dozens of people's homes flooded in Goole. Three pumps,
:01:15. > :01:20.seemingly designed to stop working in heavy rain, could have prevented
:01:20. > :01:25.flooding during the storm in East Yorkshire. The company running a
:01:25. > :01:31.says that the pumps switched off to protect the equipment, and they are
:01:31. > :01:35.sorry that the customers were not protected. Waiting for the big
:01:35. > :01:45.clean-up to begin. It is the second time in five years that this
:01:45. > :01:51.bungalow has flooded. It is not my house, it is my mother in law's.
:01:51. > :01:57.She is 94 years old. It is really getting to her. I cannot see her
:01:57. > :02:03.coming back in here. I don't know. But time will tell. Everything is
:02:03. > :02:09.ruined. During Wednesday's downpour, residents say water was draining
:02:09. > :02:13.away. Then it suddenly stopped. Sutton -- some residents down the
:02:13. > :02:19.street always believed that there had been problems with the pumping
:02:19. > :02:25.station. After initially denying it, Yorkshire Water admitted that was
:02:25. > :02:30.the case. We did have a problem with our facility. Three of the
:02:30. > :02:34.pumps shut down, we believe. The pumping operation did continue. But
:02:34. > :02:37.they were down for about 45 minutes. Surely the Proms are not good
:02:38. > :02:42.enough if they are going to shut down every time there is heavy
:02:42. > :02:46.rainfall? That is not going to happen again. We will make sure
:02:46. > :02:51.this is put right. We will put additional capacity in on a
:02:51. > :02:56.temporary basis to make sure. That is to this will, too late for some.
:02:56. > :03:06.Some are forced to live in hotels. I think this a case of negligence.
:03:06. > :03:07.
:03:07. > :03:14.They should be held to account for it. I am very angry. We pay it --
:03:14. > :03:21.repay all our rates, and nothing gets done. They should have had
:03:21. > :03:28.other options. They should have had a safety guard. They were at six
:03:28. > :03:31.pumping stations, and not all of them were on. There were times when
:03:31. > :03:35.only two of them were operating. That is not acceptable. It is not
:03:35. > :03:39.right for people to be out of their homes yet again. Yorkshire-born to
:03:39. > :03:44.have admitted that they are talking to some residents about liability.
:03:44. > :03:54.For others, the fear is not reserved -- renovations, but
:03:54. > :03:57.
:03:57. > :04:01.Earlier, I spoke to Richard Sears from Yorkshire Water at the failed
:04:01. > :04:04.water pump. I asked him what went wrong. What went wrong last week?
:04:04. > :04:09.What went wrong was the weather. The reason Goole failed was because
:04:09. > :04:16.we had an extreme weather events. Residents said that they could not
:04:16. > :04:23.see their houses over the street. It wasn't the palms, it was the
:04:23. > :04:28.rain at fault? What Goole experience to was an extreme never
:04:28. > :04:34.put -- weather event. Three pumps stopped working during the storm.
:04:34. > :04:40.The pumping station itself carried on working. We had two very large
:04:40. > :04:46.pumps doing what they were designed to do. So people were being flooded
:04:46. > :04:50.because of the heavy rain? Let's be absolutely clear about this.
:04:50. > :04:59.reason Goole flooded was because of the rain. It did not help that the
:04:59. > :05:05.Poms did not work. The they had carried on working. -- if they had
:05:05. > :05:11.carried on working, no one would have been flooded. This was a very
:05:11. > :05:15.intense rain. Two weeks' worth of rain fell in two hours. So what are
:05:15. > :05:20.you saying? Are you saying sorry that it went wrong and it was your
:05:20. > :05:26.fault? We field desperately sorry for those homes which were flooded
:05:26. > :05:29.last night. Are you so it is your fault? I was in a customer's House,
:05:29. > :05:34.and he acknowledged that there was very little that we could do with
:05:34. > :05:41.the level of rain they came down. The pump did not work, and we put
:05:41. > :05:45.that right. We have put this rain - but we have put these pumps in. We
:05:45. > :05:51.are refurbishing them. We have put right what was wrong. The reason it
:05:51. > :05:55.flooded was because of the rain. It is rain in again now. If we get the
:05:55. > :06:02.same again this evening, will these people be flooded again? Absolut
:06:02. > :06:07.lead. Absolute yes, or absolutely no? At to look yes, because it was
:06:07. > :06:11.an extreme weather event. If it rained like he did last week, yes.
:06:11. > :06:16.It is a very difficult message to deliver. No system could have coped
:06:16. > :06:20.with the level of rain that fell last week -- fell last week. We can
:06:20. > :06:25.cope with stormy conditions, but what we cannot cope with is the
:06:25. > :06:29.extraordinary brain became down last night -- last week. Body say
:06:29. > :06:32.to those who are worried sick? we are desperately sorry for those
:06:32. > :06:39.who were flooded, and we have been there to help. We responded within
:06:39. > :06:42.10 minutes of the first -- customer contacting us. We help with the
:06:42. > :06:50.clean-up operation. We recognise that this is a traumatic event. I
:06:50. > :06:55.have seen their homes. We are there for them. Thank you very much.
:06:55. > :07:00.Let's throw this one open. If you live in the area, are you happy
:07:00. > :07:05.with that explanation from Yorkshire Water? How would you feel
:07:05. > :07:09.if the same rate happened again and the same event happened again?
:07:09. > :07:19.the same event happened again? Using get in touch with us. -- you
:07:19. > :07:28.
:07:29. > :07:34.In a moment, the Lincolnshire town revived by lottery cash featured in
:07:34. > :07:39.a new BBC show. The group in charge of running the Humber Bridge has
:07:39. > :07:43.for the first time ever put forward a plan to cut tolls for the
:07:43. > :07:46.crossing. The Humber Bridge Board is going to last the government
:07:46. > :07:52.whether it can get a one-off payment and get rid of its debt
:07:52. > :07:58.forever. It could finally put a stop to tolls going up and up with
:07:58. > :08:04.inflation. Motorists have waited years in the hope that Humber
:08:04. > :08:09.Bridge tolls will come down. Now, just like the buses, two of us have
:08:09. > :08:13.come at once. This morning, the Humber Bridge Board has revealed it
:08:13. > :08:19.wants to buy the debt from the government, allowing it to slash
:08:19. > :08:25.tolls. It is similar to the scheme drawn up by 8 Hull businessman,
:08:25. > :08:31.Malcolm Scott. We feel that will be looked at favourably by the
:08:31. > :08:36.government. If they will speak to Malcolm Scott, I feel they can do
:08:36. > :08:44.it for the bridge. The Government wants to clear more than �300
:08:44. > :08:51.million worth of debt. The Humber Bridge Board want to pay �100
:08:51. > :08:59.million. If the government says yes, the tolls will be cut. Tolstoy
:08:59. > :09:05.lawyer's -- tolls for lorries will be cut to �12.50. If the results is
:09:05. > :09:11.a small toll to cover the costs of keeping the bridge maintained, that
:09:11. > :09:20.will be good news for this area, and for a very -- for a campaign
:09:20. > :09:26.that has worked very hard. Malcolm Scott says this decision is a real
:09:26. > :09:30.sea change in the board's chance -- stance. They have a now accepted
:09:30. > :09:35.that the bridges key to the social and economic welfare of the region.
:09:35. > :09:41.They want to reduce the debt and tolls. That is a real shift in the
:09:41. > :09:49.board's attitude. Unfortunately, it is doing it late in the day, and
:09:49. > :09:54.the cynic would say it is doing it for self-preservation. With a two
:09:54. > :10:00.deals up for consideration, it seems more likely than ever that
:10:00. > :10:07.the tolls will be finally cut. will not be until November until
:10:07. > :10:15.the government reveals whether it will take either option. Another
:10:15. > :10:19.want you will want to comment on. You can get in touch. More news. A
:10:19. > :10:25.teacher in Pocklington has been charged with having an unlawful
:10:25. > :10:31.sexual relationship with a people. He is due to appear before Beverley
:10:31. > :10:35.magistrates. The teacher has been suspended pending the outcome. A
:10:35. > :10:41.power station capable of producing enough electricity to power 500,000
:10:41. > :10:46.homes has got the go-ahead in North Lincolnshire. It will employ 600
:10:46. > :10:51.people during the can such -- construction. Another 100 jobs will
:10:51. > :11:00.be created when it is finished. It will be creating electricity from
:11:00. > :11:05.wood pallets. Humberside Police on standby to provide help to other
:11:05. > :11:10.parts of the country. Yesterday, they were called to Nottingham and
:11:10. > :11:14.Manchester. Units from both were also in London. As politicians
:11:14. > :11:20.prepare to return to Parliament, or want Hull MP has claimed that much
:11:20. > :11:30.of the trouble has been caused by young people who have become
:11:30. > :11:39.
:11:39. > :11:49.disenfranchised due to government A massive clean-up operation has
:11:49. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:53.taken place. These are specially trained public order officers.
:11:53. > :12:00.There is a special public or uniform which is seen on the
:12:00. > :12:04.streets. They are here to deal any incidents of public disorder.
:12:04. > :12:09.unit from Humberside Police was also sent to assist Manchester
:12:09. > :12:15.Police has violence broke out in Salford, and looters targeted shops
:12:15. > :12:20.in the city centre. Both the Lincolnshire and Humberside forces
:12:20. > :12:25.insist that helping riots hit areas will not affect the local policing.
:12:26. > :12:33.Thankfully there have been no such problems closer to home. One Labour
:12:33. > :12:38.MP says he fears for the future. Tuition fees have been tripled,
:12:38. > :12:42.young people feel disenfranchised, they are using this as an excuse.
:12:42. > :12:47.It should not be used, this is about a mindless violence and
:12:47. > :12:52.criminality, they should be very careful about how they behave.
:12:52. > :12:55.Today the Prime Minister said they could be no excuse for violence.
:12:55. > :13:02.is a complete lack of responsibility from part of our
:13:02. > :13:06.society, people feel they are right away their responsibilities, and
:13:06. > :13:12.their actions do not have consequences. Well they do have
:13:12. > :13:16.consequences. Tomorrow MPs from East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
:13:16. > :13:21.will interrupt their summer break to discuss the events in Parliament.
:13:21. > :13:27.Like everybody else they want answers, and solutions to try and
:13:27. > :13:30.avoid a repeat of the scenes. We had a really big response on
:13:30. > :13:33.this story after last night's show, Danielle got in touch via Twitter
:13:33. > :13:39.to say: People describing the rioters as animalistic is unfair
:13:39. > :13:42.because animals never do anything as mindless as this without reason.
:13:42. > :13:47.Ben tweeted: Anyone who blames the riots on spending cuts should be
:13:47. > :13:51.ashamed of themselves. These "people" should lose their benefits.
:13:51. > :13:54.And finally Ricky had this to say: This was bound to happen with
:13:54. > :14:03.people not being able to discipline young people like they did. They
:14:03. > :14:08.now feel invincible and I'm not surprised. Early a I spoke to Karl
:14:08. > :14:16.Turner, the MP for Hull East, I asked him what he thought was
:14:16. > :14:20.behind this trouble? What is happening is people feel
:14:20. > :14:25.very disenfranchised. They say there is nothing to look for two
:14:25. > :14:33.when I meet them. You are playing politics with the cuts come a we
:14:33. > :14:43.should be talking about jobs they rhino's Future jobs funds, the AMA
:14:43. > :14:46.
:14:46. > :14:54.has been scrapped. You are to doing it again. You're talking about her
:14:54. > :15:01.public politics, the person today was a schoolteacher. That is no
:15:01. > :15:08.excuse Quare? The man was a teaching assistant, that was an
:15:08. > :15:15.exception from the norm on this. They have state-of-the-art mobile
:15:15. > :15:19.phones, and close, you cannot link this to poverty? The government has
:15:19. > :15:23.to get serious, they have to pay for except that the debt reduction
:15:23. > :15:27.plan is not working, if people are feeling disenfranchised. When they
:15:27. > :15:32.talk about the police, they are talking about cutting them by 20 %,
:15:32. > :15:38.that will not work. You're doing party politics, what would you do
:15:38. > :15:46.in your eye in a constituency. You have described some parts of it as
:15:46. > :15:56.a war-zone, how would you tackle it? By not talking about jobs, I'm
:15:56. > :15:56.
:15:56. > :16:00.talking about the Government's. I would speak to young people, I want
:16:00. > :16:04.to make sure that their parents know where they are. The Prime
:16:04. > :16:09.Minister has made the point that people need to be dealt with, they
:16:09. > :16:19.need to feel the full force of the locker, I except that. Would you
:16:19. > :16:21.
:16:21. > :16:28.like to see them pay more tax. would accept that. I want bobbies
:16:28. > :16:37.on the beat, I am not trying to be party political. Thank you very
:16:37. > :16:40.much. Karl Turner there. And people-watching.
:16:40. > :16:43.Still ahead tonight: Hull City suffer a shock exit from the

:17:54. > :18:03.wet as today. You can see the satellite picture, outbreaks of
