Good evening. Welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
The owner of a right that failed injuring seven people in Skegness | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
says it was his worst nightmare. I am live in Skegness, where | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
investigators try to find out what happened. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Shopkeepers warn the billion pound trade in illegal cigarettes is | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
putting a huge strain on business. It is a lot cheaper. It is �11 in | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
the shop, and you can get it on the street for �7. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
The little girl with a royal meeting after being named the | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
bravest in Britain. Her face just lit up. | :00:49. | :00:59. | |

Good evening. The owner of a fairground ride in Skegness that | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
broke down in mid-air trapping more than 20 people has described the | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
accident as the blackest day in the fair's history. Seven people were | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
left needing hospital treatment after the Surf stopped working at | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
Pleasure Island. Today, health and safety inspectors have visited the | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
site. Siobhan, what have the inspectors been doing today? | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
looks like a fairly normal day except for one thing. The rides are | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
not moving. That is because the park's owner has close the park so | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
that inspections can continue. Officers have been here throughout | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
today try to find out what caused the accident. They have said that | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
the right needs to be completely removed. This is holiday season, so | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
any closures mean a lot of money. The summer season is in full swing, | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
but today these gates are locked. It is after investigations begin | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
into yesterday's accident. It has led to tourists shaken. It will put | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
people off coming. What is safe and what is not? How often are these | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
things being checked. You hope they are being looked after and | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
maintained. We will definitely not go on it now. It is probably a | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
freak accident. The seven people were taken to | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
hospital after this ride broke yesterday. It is still not clear | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
what happened, but this former employee insists safety is up to | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
scratch. Every single morning, I have done quite if you write, and I | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
used to carried -- test them every morning. There are safety people | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
around who check everything. He it is the second time in a week | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
the rights have been scrutinised. A women is still in hospital after | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
her and her granddaughter were injured in Bridlington. There are | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
worries that these events will put people off. You need to remember | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
that this is very rare, it is bad timing. We hope that the people are | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
OK, it is incredibly sad that these things have happened. Albright's | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
like this across the country can still be used safely. The raid -- | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
the right has now been made safe. The owners wants to reopen tomorrow, | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
hoping their worst nightmare does not leave a lasting impression. | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
Siobhan, you mentioned the owners, what has been their reaction? | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
owner has been too emotional to speak today, but he has issued a | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
statement. He says he is devastated by what has happened. There is no | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
doubt that he and many others are hoping to put what he described as | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
the blackest day in the side's history behind them. Thank you. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
In the last five years, 48 people have been injured it on fairground | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
rides in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Keith Carroll is an expert on the | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
right safety and represents fair grounds. I asked him what has gone | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
wrong. I think there has been a mechanical failure. Both the other | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
one, I do not think there has been anything mechanical, it has -- | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
something has gone wrong which we do not have the full information. | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
Not a great couple of days. No, not at all. The when would the right | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
had last been checked? It has to have an independent test annually, | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
so it could have been a week before or some time in the last 12 months. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
It will have also been checked by the operator of the right Daley | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
before operation. If it was checked daily, it looks like something | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
might have been missed. There may have been a mechanical failure that | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
we cannot see, so I can't comment on that. Just today people said | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
they would not go on these right any more. How do you restore | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
people's confidence falls? Many years ago there was a survey which | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
said it was more likely to have an accident on your way to a | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
fairground, be it an amusement park or a travelling fair, and you are | :05:52. | :06:02. | |
on a fairground. It was something like 14 million to one. But when | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
these are back in action, people will not be rushing back on them, | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
or will they? I do not know. We have had rights where there have | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
been accidents before and people just seem to come back on. I would | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
imagine the public may feel that if the right has had an incident, it | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
will have had a proper checks. They may feel it is quite safe. | :06:28. | :06:38. | |
:06:38. | :06:39. | ||
damaging Willett be -- how damaging will it be? It is difficult for all | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
of the industry. None of the industry wants to see accidents, | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
that is why they tried to be vigilant with their testing and | :06:51. | :07:01. | |
:07:01. | :07:02. | ||
their inspections. It is difficult. Very good to talk to you. | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
A story that we will continue to follow. | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
Or people living in part of an East Yorkshire town wants to split and | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
go-it-alone. It is an illegal trade that costs | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
the government billions of pounds, money it claims could be used to | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
help the economy. Today, a survey of shopkeepers has revealed that a | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
black market in smuggled and counterfeit tobacco is thriving in | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. More than half had admitted that | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
they know about cheek -- cheap imports or fake cigarette being | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
sold. For some, the practice could see then pushed out of business | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
altogether. It is a market costing businesses | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
millions of pounds every year, the sale of illegal cigarettes. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Thousands of packets have been seized across the past few weeks, | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
all in an attempt to tackle the problem. Have you ever bought | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
cigarettes on the street? demand is fuelling their sale. I | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
found plenty of people willing to buy them. If you can get it on the | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
black market, everybody is human. I'd buy as many as I can get. They | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
are cheaper. How much cheaper? Three or �4 a packet. There are a | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
couple of girls who are openly sell them out of a rucksack. More than | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
half of the shop owners are aware of the problem, which is costing | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
them hundreds of pounds a week in lost revenue. We pay the taxes, and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
the people on the streets selling the three pound cigarette, they do | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
not pay any money on it. This is why they are so expensive. A | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
typical packet of cigarettes cost �7. The but �4.24 of that price is | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
excise duty, and �1.16 is VAT. 78% of the price goes to the government. | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
Sometimes that can be up to 90% on cheaper brands. | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Officers of the UK Border Agency are constantly patrolling the | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
boards here in Hull. They found 1.5 million cigarettes stored inside | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
concrete blocks. But this is not just a financial issue, it is a | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
healthy one. People are looking for a cheaper deal, and this is not | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
necessarily the bargain you expect. There are content -- problems with | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
the content of the tobacco. Sawdust has been found in them. Mohammed | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
says if the price of duty is not reduced soon, the smugglers will | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
put him out of business. Chris Ogden is from the Tobacco | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
Manufacturers' Association, he told me earlier why he believes the UK | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
is so bad for smuggled and counter pit tobacco and cigarette. There is | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
a simple answer, tax. The UK is one of the highest tax regimes in the | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
world, and it is a charter for the smugglers to come in. As a result, | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
over 20% of cigarettes and 60% of hand-rolling tobacco is avoiding | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
duty in one way or another. But the companies you represent make huge | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
amounts of money. Should you try and do more to stop it? We are | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
doing all we can. If we can call it a fault, it lies with government | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
and tax policy. In the last Budget, the price of cigarettes went up by | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
more than 50p a pack, and hand- rolling tobacco by more than 60p. | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
The but smoking is the largest cause -- cause of much illness. | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
government is right, isn't it, to make it more expensive to stop | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
people smoking? If the government wants to use tax to further its | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
health policy, that is laudable. But it does not work, because it | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
encourages the black market. They also brought down the smoking | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
numbers as well. Smoking numbers have been in decline for many years, | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
but it is levelling off because of the ready supply of counterfeit and | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
smuggled tobacco products available. On an average packet of cigarettes, | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
I gather the retailers and manufacturers make one pound 55. | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
Reduce that big profits, and there will be less counterfeit cigarette. | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
I am not sure way you have that figure from. Well over 80% of the | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
price of a packet of cigarettes is tax, and that goes to the Treasury. | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
If it is a huge market, the tobacco market in the UK is worth �14 | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
billion a year, of which the government takes �11 billion in tax. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
What do you want the government to do? We want the government to take | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
a long, hard look at their tax policy, ideally freeze tax, but we | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
are with them in supporting Revenue and Customs and the border Agency | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
in intercepting smuggled loads, and do all we can to share intelligence | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
and fight this crime. We will throw this one open. How | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
bad is the black market in illegal cigarettes way you are? Do you | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
agree that high taxes are making the problem worse? What can be done | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
to tackle it? Is the tax level too high? How do we get rid of the | :12:55. | :13:05. | |

An announcement on cuts to RAF and Army personnel is expected to be | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
made tomorrow. It has thoroughly been confirmed that 175 student | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
pilots will be let go from the RAF's flight training programme, | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
affecting trainees and instructors at Cranwell in Lincolnshire. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Firefighters say this of action of cruise help save the lives of a man | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
and woman engulf. They were rescued from a fire at his house this | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
morning which had no smoke alarm. Both were treated for smoke | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
inhalation. Smith and Nephew, one of Hull's | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
biggest employers has refused to comment on rumours of a takeover | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
bid today. US company Biomet is thought to be planning to buy the | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
firm for �8 billion. The company employs around 700 people in the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
city. Still ahead tonight: 60 years on - | :14:10. | :14:15. | |

a Royal meeting for this little girl named the bravest in Britain. | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
A fantastic story. This photograph is of Gould docks | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
and it was taken by Peter Jones. -- Goole docks. | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
Good evening. I recorded last night's programme to refresh my | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
:14:59. | :15:00. | ||
memory of what Paul Hudson look like. I have seen you're comment. | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
Do you want me to wear a blonde wig? | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
The headline for the next 24 hours is a cloudy one. It looks as if it | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
will be generally dry. Although there will be quite a lot of cloud | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
tomorrow, Friday looks brighter and warmer. The weekend, a good deal of | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
uncertainty. Saturday could turn out to be warm before rain tries to | :15:28. | :15:37. | |
come in from the West. All the cloud on the satellite picture, it | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
has not been thick enough to produce any showers. It has been | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
quite grey for a good part of our region. We keep a lot of cloud for | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
this evening and overnight. Most part should be dry and we will see | :15:50. | :16:00. | |
:16:00. | :16:00. | ||
temperatures down to nine Celsius. The sun will rise in the morning at | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
just after 6 o'clock. I think a predominantly dry picture. A | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
variable amount of cloud. Just like today, there is every chance we | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
will see a few glimmers of sunshine. But a lot of cloud around. The | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
breeze will be a light one from the South East. We will see top | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
temperatures around 16 or 17 Celsius around the cost. Possibly | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
and 19 Celsius if we get some decent rates. Friday looks a nice | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
day, warmer and brighter. All parts should be dry with sunny spells. | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
Saturday looks warm and 22 Celsius are 23 Celsius. Sunday looks | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
unsettled. We will keep you updated with that tomorrow. | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
My local charity shop is selling Paul's last book for �2.99. You | :17:00. | :17:09. | |
will be robbed I would say! My next book is also available. | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Residents in a part of Goole in East Yorkshire are attempting to | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
split the town in two. Hundreds have signed a petition calling for | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
the area known as Old Goole to be given village status. Sarah Burton | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
has been to the town to find out more. | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
It has been a time for more than a century, steeped in history. But | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
some people living in the all-time have decided they want to go it | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
alone. We seem to be left out. If we had our own community, it would | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
be up to us what we did an hour -- in Old Goole. A lot of old school | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
has not been recognised at all. Residents in Old Goole won their | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
independence back and have handed in a petition calling for the | :17:56. | :18:05. | |
council to make them a village. school has always been here. -- old | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
Goole. We have been here for a lot longer than 2:20am. If all Goole | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
does become a village, the boundary will start here on the Dutch river. | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Across the bridge will be what will remain of the town. By being made a | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
parish, residents say they will get more investment to return all Goole | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
to its former glory. But some people in the area are not sure the | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
idea has been properly thought through. I have not see any | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
costings for this. We do not know if it is going to cost the | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
community more money, whether the council tax is going to go up. We | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
need to have a better understanding of exactly what the whole process | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
entails. There is also people fighting for a Bill to become a | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
city who are not happy. It came as quite a shock. It was a surprise. | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
The harmony we have got for the city has been fantastic. East | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
Riding council is now deciding whether Old Goole will become a | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
village and create new history for this old port town. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Thank you for your response after our story last night on how cancer | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
patients would now be able to park for free and some hospitals in | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
northern Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire. Those who have to attend | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
appointments for more than eight times a month at hospitals in | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
Grimm's May, Scunthorpe and Goole will be able to park without charge. | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
The changes will see the charges call up for most people. That was | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
the story. Thank you for all the e- mails and texts. Here are some on | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
the programme. Les, he says, parking for anybody who has to go | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
to hospital for treatment should be free. John in Lincoln says, people | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
should be thankful that their relatives are only in hospital for | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
a short time and should not begrudge those less fortunate | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
visiting patients with longer term illnesses. John Gregory end the | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
area says, I am happy to pay more for parking if it means someone | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
dying from cancer can park for free. Scunthorpe United have a new face | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
in the form of French player Damien Mozika. The 24-year-old signs a day | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
after the I and secured their place in the second round of the | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
Johnstone Paints Trophy. United also resisted the | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
opportunity to rest his first team, despite playing into extra time | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
with Newcastle next Thursday and then being been involved in our | :20:55. | :21:04. | |
trying game on Saturday. Garry Thompson almost scored his | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
first goal since a long-term injury. The Bard denying him. In the second | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
half, the Iron put all that pressure to good use as Bobby Grant | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
got an opening to score. But he could hardly believe they get their | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
came his way seven minutes later. They settled the tie. They only | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
have little chance came after the Iron fell to deal with a late | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
corner. Today Allendale has gone to bury to sign Damien Mozika on a two | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
year deal. They have signed Shane Duffy for a month. | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
This is a very moving story. Tonight is a special night for one | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
five-year-old girl from Lincolnshire. Sophie Cooper is | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
being given an award for her bravery by Prince Harry. Sophie | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
suffers from cerebral palsy. Simon Spark went to meet her and her | :22:02. | :22:10. | |

Sophie has cerebral palsy level five which is the most severe level. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
She had epilepsy, and seizures. She has chronic lung disease which can | :22:19. | :22:27. | |
lead to her being oxygen dependence. She has a curvature of the spine | :22:27. | :22:35. | |
and she has problems with her Hibs. So is the premature birth of their | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
first twin children, the Cooper family have had to deal with 24- | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
hour care. As significantly to the brain was the start of Sophie's | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
cerebral palsy. Her twin sister is also mildly affected. It is not | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
something you have learned to cope with, it is something you have to. | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
It is something that happens. Are you Locking yet? Managing comes | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
with strict routine an organisation, whole cupboards are dedicated to | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
supplies and medication. But it has all become part of family life. | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
girls love each other unconditionally. They are very in | :23:18. | :23:26. | |
June and we like what -- we know what she likes. But it is how | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
Sophie has managed with all the care she needs that prompted them | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
to enter her for an award to recognise her bravery. It is just | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
insurmountable the amount of thing she has had to go through. The | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
least she could get was an award to say, Sophie we are proud of you. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
And the fact that she is more -- smiling as well. The judges | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
unanimously agreed, Sophie has won the Bravest Child Award. She will | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
receive it at a ceremony in London this evening where she will get to | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
meet Prince Harry. I did mention to it to her. We're going to see | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
Prince Harry, how lucky are you? As soon as I said that, her face lit | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
up. She knows who Prince Harry us. She will have a private meeting | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
with the Prince before collecting her award. | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
Sophie meeting Prince Harry tonight. A couple from Hull has been | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
celebrating the 60th anniversary after being brought together by a | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
:24:39. | :24:40. | ||
bicycle. When Biomet met Mike -- when juggler met Mike for the first | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
time, he turned up with a tandem!. The back brake used to be there. | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
For 60 years they have done everything in tandem - marriage, | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
kids and now retirement, all because of a bike Mike turned upon | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
on their first date in Hull all those years ago. I lived on the | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
:25:14. | :25:18. | ||
other side of Hull. He said I will pick you up. There is the Tandem! | :25:18. | :25:28. | |
Cheers. Nowadays 80 sealed like and 80-year-old Vera stick to tea for | :25:28. | :25:37. | |
two. When I rolled up and I saw her in the stress, I thought fancy | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
putting that lot on to ride at random on. You managed it all right. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
We have been married 60 years. in the 1950s, bicycles were a far | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
more common means of transport. But turning up with a tandem would | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
still have been seen at a little out of the ordinary. But at least | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
that Lady template for future family life. The story about Mum | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
and Dad meeting is quite a story. We think it is a lovely story. As | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
we were kids, we always cycled everywhere. 60 years on and the | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
celebrations have meant royal recognition and a party with a | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
surprise tandem in tow. So this was 19 great-grandchildren, because of | :26:19. | :26:29. | |

A response coming in on cigarettes. Smoking has been going on for years. | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
Black-market cigarettes are the only way. | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
Smokers cost the NHS �1.7 billion. Smokers and produce �7 billion in | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
