:00:09. > :00:19.networking comes under scrutiny again as a council officer is under
:00:19. > :00:20.
:00:20. > :00:24.investigation for posting an offensive comment on Twitter.
:00:24. > :00:28.You should always be aware that you are a representative of the
:00:28. > :00:32.organisation you are employed by or connected with. You need to think
:00:32. > :00:34.about the consequences of what you post in relation to that employment
:00:34. > :00:37.or those connections. Trying to do better - a council
:00:37. > :00:39.admits they've got work to do to improve care services for older
:00:39. > :00:44.people. Celebrations planned to mark 100
:00:44. > :00:47.years since the official opening of the port of Immingham.
:00:48. > :00:55.A step too far? Why the green figure not the green man will be
:00:55. > :01:00.helping you cross the road in Lincolnshire.
:01:00. > :01:10.Very windy and a wet night ahead. The metaphors have a warning in
:01:10. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:20.force for gales. All the details An investigation is under way after
:01:20. > :01:25.an official from the digital inclusion Unit at North
:01:25. > :01:32.Lincolnshire Council posted a comment about pub-goers on Twitter.
:01:32. > :01:36.He referred to users of one local as tattooed chaps. In fact, the pub,
:01:37. > :01:41.the foundry arms, has got a special room for children with special
:01:41. > :01:45.needs. It is the latest in a series of rows about comments posted on
:01:45. > :01:48.line. Another social media row - this
:01:48. > :01:51.time it's brewing over this pub. The Foundry Arms was closed in July
:01:51. > :01:55.after being open two weeks, because of safety concerns about the car
:01:56. > :02:01.park beside it. It's re-opening has been delayed - promoting an online
:02:01. > :02:04.debate over its future. And this is the tweet by a council officer from
:02:04. > :02:09.North Lincolnshire Council that has angered people. It said, "Demolish
:02:09. > :02:17.the dump. It's just a haven for all day boozers and tattooed chavs.".
:02:17. > :02:21.It was brought to Councillor Mark Kirk's attention. I was contacted
:02:21. > :02:27.by a local resident who has got to autistic children. She felt very
:02:27. > :02:30.upset by it. I reported it to the chief executive and a understand
:02:30. > :02:34.that an investigation is to take place. The newly refurbished pub
:02:34. > :02:36.had a children's play area staffed by carers and a room designed for
:02:36. > :02:39.children with special needs. An online campaign is calling for it
:02:39. > :02:46.to be re-opened. Today in Scunthopre businesses and locals
:02:46. > :02:50.had a view. You can't say this because kids
:02:50. > :02:55.used to go there and mums used to go there and have a nice time.
:02:55. > :03:02.brother took all his kids in there every week. I think it was a good
:03:02. > :03:05.idea for him to go there. I think it is, you can't get away from it.
:03:06. > :03:08.It should be opened again because there is no reason why it shouldn't.
:03:08. > :03:11.This isn't the only time social network sites have caused problems.
:03:11. > :03:14.In Hull, two teachers resigned after being involved in an internet
:03:14. > :03:16.discussion where people from East Hull were called "inbred". And,
:03:16. > :03:19.four officers from Lincolnshire police and one from Humberside have
:03:19. > :03:27.been warned over the inappropriate use of Facebook in the past two
:03:27. > :03:30.years. This seems to becoming increasingly
:03:30. > :03:33.common and I'm surprised that people, particularly in
:03:33. > :03:39.organisations and in prominent organisations, have not cottoned on
:03:39. > :03:42.that they need to be very careful. North Lincolnshire Council has
:03:42. > :03:48.launched an internal investigation into what has happened. Meanwhile,
:03:48. > :03:50.the foundry arms's future is still uncertain as the social media row
:03:50. > :03:59.continues. I'm now joined by Twitter and
:03:59. > :04:03.social media expert Mark Shaw. Good evening. Are you surprise that
:04:03. > :04:08.people still make comments like this on social networking sites?
:04:08. > :04:11.it keeps me in business. The sad thing is that typically this
:04:11. > :04:15.happens for for you be -- for reasons. There is no guidance, no
:04:15. > :04:19.guidelines, no support and no training. If those were in place at
:04:19. > :04:21.the beginning of your employment, be it with the council or whatever
:04:21. > :04:25.but you are doing, a lot of the issues that people do would not
:04:25. > :04:30.happen. To be just of think about the consequences of making comments,
:04:30. > :04:35.and the impact that they might have? Exactly that. Far too many
:04:35. > :04:38.times people Tweet Drumquin they shouldn't, tweet out of anger,
:04:38. > :04:41.tweet comments that are completely inappropriate. They need to
:04:41. > :04:45.remember that often they are ambassadors for where they work.
:04:45. > :04:50.They might be celebrities, council officials, MPs, and there are
:04:50. > :04:56.ramifications. Are there any golden rules for those of us who Tweet to
:04:56. > :05:00.keep us out of trouble? Yes, there are. It all stems back to one thing,
:05:00. > :05:05.which is the basic principle of Twitter and the main gold mine is
:05:05. > :05:11.that it allows people to listen, to hear what people have to say. It is
:05:11. > :05:14.not to broadcast medium. To get on it and doesn't your constituents,
:05:14. > :05:18.listen to people that vote for you, listen to members of the public -
:05:18. > :05:22.that is where the real value is. Perhaps MPs and councillors should
:05:22. > :05:26.spend more time listening rather than broadcasting. And employers
:05:27. > :05:31.need to help employees? Absolutely. It is great value for businesses
:05:31. > :05:36.and people to be able to listen to conversations, find out what people
:05:36. > :05:39.are saying, find out what ideas they have, get some great feedback.
:05:39. > :05:42.Imagine as a councillor been able to have a surgery by you ask people
:05:42. > :05:47.what they think of the services, of the issues that are going on in
:05:47. > :05:53.that area. That information is incredibly value. Very interesting,
:05:53. > :05:56.Mark, thank you for talking to us. I'm sure you have a view on this.
:05:56. > :06:00.Should there be more restrictions on the social networking sites like
:06:00. > :06:03.Twitter and Facebook, or should they be used as an open forum where
:06:03. > :06:08.people can freely express their views? Do you work in an
:06:08. > :06:18.organisation where you have been given advice about how to use it?
:06:18. > :06:23.
:06:23. > :06:33.In a moment: Continued uncertainly for hundreds of BAe workers facing
:06:33. > :06:37.redundancy. Detectives in offer cap tonight
:06:37. > :06:41.revealed more details about a murder on the Queen's Sandringham
:06:41. > :06:47.estate. It has now been four days since the body of a young woman was
:06:47. > :06:52.discovered in woodland in the village of Amer. Our reporter Alex
:06:52. > :06:55.Dunlop is there. What is the latest on this case? Police officers have
:06:56. > :06:59.spent all day on a dirt track in a copse behind me, trying to search
:06:59. > :07:08.for clues that might help them identify this victim. What we do
:07:08. > :07:12.know is that behind the scenes police scientists have been trying
:07:12. > :07:17.to match DNA samples to establish the identity of the woman. Within
:07:17. > :07:21.the last hour, police say samples have not provided a DNA profile so
:07:21. > :07:25.they cannot get identify the victim. We know that she was between 15 and
:07:25. > :07:29.23 years of age, described as a young, white female. It is thought
:07:29. > :07:33.she had been there for between one and four months but we don't know
:07:33. > :07:38.if she had died before she came here. They are looking at cold
:07:38. > :07:42.cases, missing persons report. What is crucial is that two factors have
:07:42. > :07:49.highlighted that it could be the remains of a missing that the in
:07:49. > :07:55.teenager. -- Latvian. She is 17 years old, bang in the middle of
:07:55. > :08:00.the age range of the victim who died. Secondly, she was last seen
:08:00. > :08:04.in King's Lynn at the end of August, four months ago, and that falls
:08:04. > :08:11.within the period that the body may have been here. What happens next?
:08:11. > :08:16.Police said they will use more judicial measures -- to be shot

:08:21. > :08:25.Mounted police have joined a surge to look for a woman missing from
:08:25. > :08:32.her home in Hull. They have been looking around the fields today and
:08:32. > :08:35.local people are being asked to check their sheds and garages. The
:08:35. > :08:39.47-year-old has not been seen since 20th December.
:08:40. > :08:44.A rail link between Hull and it could get the go-ahead. In October,

:08:51. > :08:55.line as well. Hull City Council has admitted
:08:55. > :08:59.today that it has got more work to do when it comes to assessing the
:08:59. > :09:03.needs of the elderly in this city. The comments follow our story
:09:03. > :09:08.yesterday about Clarence Bamforth. His family got in touch with us to
:09:08. > :09:12.tell us that they called social services 20 times to ask for help
:09:12. > :09:22.for -- help. Age UK says everyone has their right to be fully

:09:22. > :10:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
:10:04. > :10:09.assessed by their local authority. Thank you for your comments. One
:10:09. > :10:12.other broke -- person got in touch after last night programme - a 70-
:10:12. > :10:20.year-old who e-mailed us to tell us some of the problems she has had
:10:20. > :10:23.with Hull City Council over the issue of social care.
:10:23. > :10:33.I am sole carer to my husband. He needs everything going for him,
:10:33. > :10:34.
:10:34. > :10:41.from washing, shaving, feeding, toilet, shower... I first contacted
:10:41. > :10:47.Hull City Council for an assessment in the summer of 2010. They came to
:10:47. > :10:52.see us in 20th October 10, but I still have not got, here in January,
:10:52. > :10:56.a proper care package in place for my husband. My biggest fear is that
:10:56. > :11:01.if I don't have the right care package in place, and this creeps
:11:01. > :11:07.ever nearer every day, my husband may have to go into a nursing home.
:11:07. > :11:11.I really am terrified that one day I will have to make that decision.
:11:11. > :11:19.Hull City Council says that new procedures are now in place to
:11:19. > :11:22.improve services. Earlier I spoke to Councillor Rilba Jones, who has
:11:22. > :11:29.responsibility for adult care. I asked her how long she'd be
:11:29. > :11:31.prepared to wait to have a loved one assessed. It would very much
:11:31. > :11:38.depend on the circumstances, but I would definitely want something
:11:38. > :11:41.done soon. I don't think I could put an exact time on it. One, I
:11:41. > :11:49.want to reassure the public that we really are doing everything we can.
:11:49. > :11:53.But you have got some way to go? Yes, but there has been this
:11:53. > :11:57.problem when in June we had many vacancies due to the early
:11:57. > :12:03.retirement... Of oh, you are understaffed, are you? We have been,
:12:03. > :12:08.but I am able to tell you that we are advertising six occupational
:12:08. > :12:13.therapy posts next week, which will be very important. We are trying to
:12:13. > :12:20.work better with partner agencies, and that includes the voluntary
:12:20. > :12:24.sector, Age Concern UK, Hull churches home from housing with...
:12:24. > :12:30.So you accept that there is a problem and you are working on it?
:12:30. > :12:35.There has been a problem, and I am not aware of all the e-mails that I
:12:35. > :12:40.am being told about, and I just wish that people at least would get
:12:40. > :12:48.in touch with their local councillor. People do get in touch
:12:48. > :12:53.with me - I get a regular but small stream of things coming through so,
:12:53. > :13:02.you know, and we are very committed as an administration to the care of
:13:02. > :13:05.the elderly and vulnerable, and I feel very sorry if this is
:13:05. > :13:08.happening. I want them all looked into as a matter of urgency. Thank
:13:08. > :13:18.you for coming in tonight. After we talked about that last
:13:18. > :13:24.
:13:24. > :13:28.night's, there was a big response The Prime Minister will hold a
:13:28. > :13:32.meeting with BAE Systems after they agreed to extend its consultation
:13:32. > :13:37.period on redundancies, which should have ended on Boxing Day.
:13:37. > :13:43.There has rarely been an uneventful year at BAE Systems. Defence
:13:43. > :13:46.contracts are fickle at the best of times. 2011 was one of the toughest.
:13:46. > :13:51.Frank Melton police negotiations over the coming weeks will be
:13:51. > :13:55.crucial for him and colleagues. The company has agreed to extend its
:13:55. > :14:00.consultation period on the redundancies, and that gives a
:14:00. > :14:06.glimmer of hope to many, though it is mixed with uncertainty. Do I
:14:06. > :14:12.jump, if on offer comes up? For me and everybody, it is just not
:14:12. > :14:18.knowing. Some people have decided to go, younger ones, shall we say
:14:18. > :14:26.people below the age of 50. They think, I haven't got a future here,
:14:26. > :14:34.I will move on. The autumn and winter campaign to save the jobs
:14:34. > :14:38.has been energetic and sustained. The cycling to party conferences
:14:38. > :14:43.kept this high on the agenda, as did lobbying of Downing Street. One
:14:43. > :14:47.of the hopes is that the private investor can be brought in to
:14:48. > :14:51.takeover the Brough site before these skills are lost forever.
:14:51. > :15:01.There are companies that could invest here. We have a brilliant

:15:04. > :15:08.white voice -- a workforce. It led coming weeks, the chief executive
:15:08. > :15:12.of BAE Systems will meet with the Prime Minister. At the very least,
:15:12. > :15:20.hundreds of local families will be hoping that these talks give them
:15:20. > :15:24.some clarity about their futures. That is a story we have followed
:15:25. > :15:29.from the start, and we will continue to do so. Thank you for

:16:43. > :16:53.where there for the next 24 are was. The there is a warning for gales
:16:53. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :16:57.fairly widely across Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire. There will be
:16:57. > :17:03.rain as well, and that will be about first thing in the morning,
:17:03. > :17:08.but it will turn brighter in the afternoon. This little pomp of high
:17:08. > :17:17.pressure means Friday should be better -- born poor of high
:17:17. > :17:26.pressure. Look at this shield of cloud. It is thickening all the
:17:26. > :17:30.while. I think we will see spots of rain turning into outbreaks of rain.
:17:30. > :17:39.A wild and wet night developing across our region. Temperatures
:17:39. > :17:49.will be about five Celsius. The sun will rise at 8:18am, setting at
:17:49. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:57.3:56pm. Quickly, I think that rain will clear away, just affect in
:17:57. > :18:02.Lincolnshire for a time. The afternoon will have some sunshine.
:18:02. > :18:07.Most places should be dry through the after them. Still very windy,
:18:07. > :18:14.and top temperatures close to normal. That is seven, possibly

:18:29. > :18:34.See you tomorrow. We are expecting high winds again this evening and
:18:34. > :18:39.into later tonight. Siobhan Robbins is at the Humber Bridge. There are
:18:39. > :18:45.problems for commuters last night. What is the situation like? We have
:18:45. > :18:51.lost the line to the Humber Bridge. We will try again. What is a
:18:51. > :18:57.situation like? As you can see, it is pretty windy. The water behind
:18:57. > :19:00.me is very choppy. On the bridge, there are warnings about the winds.
:19:00. > :19:05.It is not as bad as it was yesterday when I was crossing the
:19:06. > :19:10.bridge. The rain and wind was hammering on my car. If this gets
:19:11. > :19:15.worse, there are plans in place to keep everything going. East Riding
:19:15. > :19:22.Council have got three teams on standby, so if any trees come down
:19:22. > :19:30.overnight, you can get in touch. Trains are looking better at. East

:19:48. > :19:54.is being planned to mark 100 years since Immingham Dock was officially
:19:54. > :20:01.opened. In July 1912, King George V and Queen Mary perform the ceremony.
:20:01. > :20:09.Jo Makel has been looking back at its remarkable history. It is the
:20:09. > :20:15.UK's largest port by tonnage. Its 1,200 acre site handle a lot of
:20:15. > :20:19.goods last year, and its creation changed Immingham forever. In the
:20:19. > :20:26.early 1,900, it was still a tiny village of green lanes and marshy
:20:26. > :20:30.meadows. Its population was little more than 100. The railway wanted
:20:30. > :20:35.to expand Grimsby docks, and realise that at Immingham Creek,
:20:35. > :20:43.which is what it was, there was a deep-water channel. They decided
:20:43. > :20:48.that they would build, instead of expanding at Grimsby, they would
:20:48. > :20:55.build a dock at in them. Immingham's first import was more
:20:55. > :20:59.than 1,000 navvies, living in a community of hot. Six years later,
:20:59. > :21:09.their work was complete and the official opening of the dock was a
:21:09. > :21:09.
:21:09. > :21:17.grand affair. The King and Queen came into the dock itself, and
:21:17. > :21:20.schoolchildren whether. -- schoolchildren work there. Each
:21:20. > :21:25.child was given a special commemorative badge. Over their
:21:25. > :21:35.lifetime, they would see the dock change and grow. Cull and oi have
:21:35. > :21:43.been a constant, but the First World War... Coal and oil have been
:21:43. > :21:48.a constant. They will be a public open day in the summer. The porter
:21:48. > :21:51.operates every day, and we have to be strict about public access, but
:21:51. > :21:56.we do not celebrate 100 years that often. It is important to show the
:21:56. > :22:00.community what we do here. Through that be, exhibitions and events
:22:00. > :22:08.will mark the centenary and celebrate the growth of the dock
:22:08. > :22:13.and town together. Many know him as a little green man that helps you
:22:13. > :22:18.cross the road safely, but now five of these new signs have gone up in
:22:18. > :22:24.Lincolnshire that remain him as a green figure. It has caused a
:22:24. > :22:27.debate, with some claiming it is political correctness gone mad.
:22:27. > :22:33.There is never usually much of a debate about crossing the road,
:22:33. > :22:39.until you think about what it is that tells you it is safe to cross.
:22:39. > :22:42.Green crossing man. It has always been the green man. Not according
:22:42. > :22:47.to Lincolnshire County Council. They have some new signs on
:22:47. > :22:52.crossings, like this one in Boston, to only cross with the green figure.
:22:52. > :23:00.It is a bit of madness, I think. We have been used to the green man.
:23:00. > :23:04.has always been a green man. could be pink! It has caused some
:23:04. > :23:09.politicians to blame political correctness. You wait for the green
:23:09. > :23:13.man, that is what people have done for generations. There is no sexism
:23:13. > :23:17.in that. They are not just in Boston. Look at these brand new
:23:17. > :23:21.ones in Bracebridge Heath, a little bit more confusing as this
:23:21. > :23:25.particular green figure did not work. Other examples of signs that
:23:25. > :23:30.did not work include the lollipop man who was stopped from using a
