:00:11. > :00:14.Good Evening and welcome to Look North. A man remains in a critical

:00:14. > :00:16.but stable condition in hospital tonight, following a fire at a

:00:16. > :00:20.block of flats in Lincoln. Emergency services were called to

:00:20. > :00:23.the building on West Parade early yesterday morning. The injured man

:00:23. > :00:27.is being treated for severe burns at a specialist unit in Nottingham.

:00:27. > :00:30.Police say they are not look for anyone else in connection with the

:00:30. > :00:38.fire. Some local residents are concerned the building is now in a

:00:38. > :00:44.dangerous condition. Looking at it now, it is not in a

:00:44. > :00:49.safe condition. You have loose slates and there is gale-force

:00:49. > :00:51.winds and rain. It doesn't look safe.

:00:51. > :00:54.Meanwhile, investigations are continuing into another suspected

:00:55. > :00:57.arson attack at a Lincoln takeaway on Christmas Day. There was an

:00:57. > :01:01.explosion just before midnight at Tasty Provisions on St Mary's

:01:01. > :01:05.Street. Lincolnshire Police want to speak to a man who was wearing a

:01:05. > :01:09.black cap and seen running away from the scene at the time of the

:01:09. > :01:12.incident. RAF search and rescue teams based

:01:12. > :01:15.at Leconfield have been called out to four separate incidents within

:01:15. > :01:19.the past 24 hours, making this one of their busiest festive periods in

:01:19. > :01:22.recent years. The RAF's Sea King helicopter first dealt with two

:01:22. > :01:24.separate rescues in Filey and then a may day call, before being

:01:24. > :01:34.scrambled to airlift a French fishermen from his boat 70 miles

:01:34. > :01:45.

:01:45. > :01:47.It was quite a tricky night out there. The vessel was heaving in

:01:47. > :01:50.the rough seas. A Lincolnshire police officer is on

:01:50. > :01:53.bail after being arrested on suspicion of drink driving. The 41

:01:53. > :01:57.year old was stopped in Lincoln a week before Christmas. He was off

:01:57. > :01:59.duty at the time. In a statement the police say the officer's been

:01:59. > :02:01.suspended. Police say there's growing concern for the welfare of

:02:01. > :02:05.a missing woman. 47-year-old Diann Conboy hasn't

:02:05. > :02:08.been seen since leaving her home in north Hull, more than a week ago.

:02:08. > :02:14.She's described as white, 5ft 3ins tall with a slim build and short

:02:14. > :02:19.brown hair. Humberside Police are urging people who live in the area

:02:19. > :02:22.to check sheds and garages. A community food shop that's opened

:02:22. > :02:28.in Hull has proved so successful the project could be extended to

:02:28. > :02:38.other towns and cities. The shop is on Hull's Thornton Estate, and is

:02:38. > :02:40.

:02:40. > :02:47.one of the first of its kind in the It opened in October to provide

:02:47. > :02:51.healthy fruit and veg at low cost prices. Now, 10 weeks on the, the

:02:51. > :02:55.first co-operative food shop has gone from strength to strength. It

:02:55. > :03:00.is now selling good-quality meat also and for hundreds of families

:03:00. > :03:05.on the Thornton Estate, the message of healthy eating is spreading fast.

:03:05. > :03:10.People have waited a long time to get this facility that they really

:03:10. > :03:15.wanted. We asked them what they needed and they wanted a fresh

:03:15. > :03:20.fruit and veg shop, access to good, quality food. We have helped them

:03:20. > :03:27.do that and that is what we have provided. The prices are kept low

:03:27. > :03:33.because almost everyone here is a volunteer. Across the country, news

:03:34. > :03:36.of its success is travelling fast. These Community leaders have

:03:36. > :03:42.travelled from Leeds and Hartlepool with a view to launching similar

:03:42. > :03:46.schemes there. It is quite impressive. They have a lot of

:03:46. > :03:52.drive and determination and it involves the committee and asking

:03:52. > :03:57.what they want. It is based on what people want in this area. Over

:03:57. > :04:07.Christmas, special food boxes have been selling well. All that is

:04:07. > :04:08.

:04:08. > :04:14.needed for a festive family dinner without breaking the bank.

:04:14. > :04:21.Ferries are once again able to leave on time after locks were

:04:21. > :04:25.fixed at the dock. Dog owners have repaired the lock gate.

:04:25. > :04:31.We need reassurance that it is not going to happen again. I presume

:04:31. > :04:35.there is a better contingency plan in place. The fact that it hasn't

:04:35. > :04:39.happened for gives me confidence that it is a one-off. There hasn't

:04:39. > :04:43.been a big public outcry but the fact that it hasn't been addressed

:04:43. > :04:46.for a long period of time is a disappointment.

:04:46. > :04:49.If Staff at RAF Waddington were up to three times busier than normal

:04:49. > :04:52.this year because of their important role in the overthrow of

:04:52. > :04:54.Colonel Gadaffi in Libya. The Station Commander says success in

:04:54. > :05:02.overseas campaigns has helped secure the base's reputation as

:05:03. > :05:09.central to Britain's Defences. It has been a big year for these

:05:09. > :05:14.planes and for those who operate them. They are spy planes used to

:05:14. > :05:19.gather information from the air and often used in conflict overseas.

:05:19. > :05:24.it is a surveillance platform. We are looking at the country, trying

:05:24. > :05:28.to give information to the commanders, the other aircraft and

:05:28. > :05:34.provide as much information as we can so we can make the did --

:05:34. > :05:39.correct decisions as a coalition and to make the population safe.

:05:40. > :05:45.the staff here were the first to be deployed in February and were the

:05:45. > :05:49.last to leave. Their efforts didn't go unnoticed, earning them praise

:05:49. > :05:53.from central Government and a visit from the Deputy Prime Minister in

:05:53. > :06:00.November. It is great to get reckoned -- recognition rights from

:06:00. > :06:07.the very top. We are an integral part of the command -- committee

:06:07. > :06:12.and consider ourselves part of the Lincolnshire area. This aeroplane

:06:12. > :06:17.is an iconic part of the Lincolnshire landscape.

:06:17. > :06:24.It was also the end of an era for another of the iconic aircraft. The

:06:24. > :06:29.name RAAD or one which took one last flight during the summer.

:06:29. > :06:35.was a very sad moment for myself, tinged with fond memories of the

:06:35. > :06:41.service but an opportunity to look ahead. They so much that is going

:06:41. > :06:46.to be happening at the station and it continues to grow. -- there is

:06:46. > :06:49.so much. For it looks as though 2012 will be

:06:49. > :06:58.no different. With roles at the Olympics and the Queen's Jubilee

:06:58. > :07:03.coming up, staff will have plenty It's been a bumper few months for

:07:03. > :07:07.baby seals on the north Norfolk coast. In the last month and a half

:07:07. > :07:11.more than 750 pups have been born .There are now 30 times as many

:07:11. > :07:21.seals born at Blakeney Point than 11 years ago.
