Welcome to Look North. The headlines... Warnings for lorry- | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
drivers and garages as fuel theft rises across the area. It has gone | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
up nationally about 40 % in the past two or three years. Still to | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
be identified. The body of a woman found on the Queen's Sandringham | :00:27. | :00:33. | |

in 15 minutes with your detailed Good evening. It is a crime which | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
is increasing in the area and a lorry drivers and garages are being | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
warned to be on their guard against the risk of fuel theft. Almost 2000 | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
cases were reported to Humberside and Lincolnshire police last year, | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
including a recent series of more than he doesn't thefts in one week. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
That was in North Lincolnshire alone. -- 12 thefts. High petrol | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
prices are putting a strain on finances but it appears some people | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
are getting round them up by targeting garages like this one and | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
stealing deal instead. Declined on top of the tank and got the lid | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
open and got into the tank and pumped the fuel out into the back | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
of a down. That is how they got away with 4,000 litres in about 45 | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
minutes. David Craven Jones runs 12 carriages in the how and has seen a | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
big increase in the crime in the past 18 years. -- I'll. It has gone | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
up by 40 % in the past three years. They are getting cheeky, how they | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
do it. They are taking petrol tankers. They take a delivery truck. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Instead of delivering the fuel, they are pumping it out of the | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
truck. They are dressed in a uniform and they look like delivery | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
drivers. That is what has happened. It is not just being stolen from | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
garages. Lorries and tankers are major targets. In 2011, more than | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
1,500 cases were reported and in some cases, more than 1000 litres | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
were stolen. The authorities say there is a link between rising | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
prices and rising crime. We have got a 17 % increase in the fuel | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
theft. That does not include petrol stations, currently almost 40 % in | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Lincolnshire. It is along with the national average, increasing. That | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
is down to the increase in prices and people simply not afford in the | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
fuel and stealing it. -- affording. Recently there were more than one | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
dozen facts in one week and this man is taking precautions. -- | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
:03:37. | :03:37. | ||
deaths. -- cases of theft. Here, you cannot get any fuel out. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Technology is being brought in to try and beat the criminals but | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
while prices remain high, this is I asked Malcolm Bingham from the | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Freight Transport Association about why East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire | :03:53. | :04:02. | |
is being targeted by fuel fact criminals. The cost of fuel has | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
made it more attractive for organised criminals To target is | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
that type of commodity. In the past we have seen a lot of crime where | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
things have been taken but more and more companies are aware of that | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
and have taken preventative measures. But when vehicles are | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
parked, sometimes in isolated places, they become more of a | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
target. And our drivers and colleagues doing all that they can | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
to protect fuel all leading them wide open? We have got a couple of | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
problem areas. One of the issues we are concerned about is the lack of | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
proper Secure Parking. We have had a history of a lack of provision | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
for that sort of facility. Sometimes when operators try to set | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
up that kind of facility in the area, they get local resistance | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
because it is looked as not being the sort of business opportunity | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
that should be put in certain areas. Secure Parking is a major issue. | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
And presumably, that bumps up the bill even more? We have got an | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
issue around cost. But what we are asking for is a network of proper | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
and affordable parking across the country, where that sort of | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
provision is made and drivers can rest at night understanding that | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
they are secured. We have got a good facility in Yorkshire and the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Humber area but people start to wonder if it is the right sort of | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
provision. Not all lorry parks are stickier and can become targets it | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
people realise the vehicles are there with large amounts of fuel. - | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
- stickier. It appears the criminals are one step ahead. | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
industry is always trying to combat that effect. Because of the | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
increased value of fuel, it has moved towards taking this problem | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
forward. Good to talk to you. Malcolm Bingham from the Freight | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
Transport Association. What can be done to combat this problem? Have | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
you been affected by this? Let us you been affected by this? Let us | :06:43. | :06:53. | |

Hood. Norfolk police have still not been able to identify the body of a | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
woman found on the Sandringham estate at the weekend. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Investigations began after a human remains were discovered at Anmer on | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
New year's Day. Tests are taking place in the next 48 hours. When | :07:24. | :07:28. | |

a full profile. Detailed searches where a Walker discovered the | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
remains have continued. And entomologist has helped from the | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
National retreat -- History Museum. They are trying to determine when | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
the body died. It was a white female between the age of 15-23. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Police want to identify people working in the area at the time had | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
have contacted the estate manager about events held in the area | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
between the end of August and September. The latest tests carried | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
out during the weekend are on a femur bone, a leg bone found at the | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
site at Sandringham. If the tests go well, police hope they will have | :08:38. | :08:42. | |

know her name and how she died but while the delay is frustrating, | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
police say they are making progress. Tests are being carried out on the | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
body in a mortuary to confirm if it is Christopher Alder. It was | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
discovered in the morgue last November. It was discovered 11 | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
years after his funeral. It is thought a woman was buried in his | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
place. The family has asked Professor Jack Crane, state | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
pathologist in Northern Ireland to lead the examination. More details | :09:20. | :09:25. | |

Stephen's Square were told it would close on Sunday after new owners | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
did not agree occupancy terms with the management. A vote of | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
confidence is how the investment is being described involving Siemens. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
It is a new factory in the city. They employed more than 5,000 | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
people to make gas turbines. As we report, it appears it is a rare | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
manufacturing success in tough economic times. Gas turbines are | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
used in power generation and to pump oil through pipes. The good | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
news is that the order book for these machines is looking healthy. | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
I have great pleasure in officially opening this facility. At the | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
opening of the return Bicester factory, we have got an air of | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
confidence. -- the factory. It is the most we have recruited in a | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
long time. We are trying to make sure that we have got not just the | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
technology, but the people. Manufacturing success stories are | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
rare at the moment but this is among them. This investment marks a | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
vote of confidence in this workforce and the wider community | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
in Lincoln. Siemens has invested in a new engineering school at Lincoln | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
University and has signed up to a multi-million pound research | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
facility at the Business Park. you get a company of such fame and | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
important putting resources in, that is a sign that Lincoln is a | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
place of the future. They have got the skills and the young people and | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
the experienced workforce to resource this company. And the | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
college is reaping the benefit of a booming engineering sector. We have | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
seen an increase in recruitment and investment. Particularly true | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
Siemens but our organisations as well. Business is booming. The | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
building has just been built and a had obviously spent a lot of money | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
it. I think a company as big as Siemens is a great place to build a | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
career. They have got more than one century of skilled engineering | :11:55. | :12:04. | |
tradition. This is likely to insure Parents in Grimsby have been | :12:04. | :12:09. | |

wrong location for the centre. think it is disgusting. It is not | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
fair. Children, parents, we think it is disgusting and it is not | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
right. I did it is totally outrageous. They should not be | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
doing anything like this where we have got children. We have got a | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
school and a playground and a nursery and old people nearby. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
understand their concerns. We are moving closer to the people and | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
working with them. We have got more than 1,000 people registered and | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
600 live in the East Marsh. Some of them are going to the school and | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
the local children's centre. A lot of them are in that area already | :13:13. | :13:19. | |

We would like you to comment about And on the programme last night we | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
told you about the police community support officer who will not face | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
charges after slapping a teenage boy in Grimsby. Humberside police | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
say that the officer has been disciplined and that the slap was | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
part of a joke. There was issued response on this story after the | :13:48. | :13:58. | |

shaping up too badly. It will be quite breezy, but on the whole it | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
will be dry and we will see some sunshine breaking through the | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
clouds at times. It has been a fabulous day today. Clouds have | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
moved in through the afternoon as they could be the odd spot of rain | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
or drizzle in places. You will notice the wind picking up. It will | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
not be as windy as the other night, but you will notice the wind and | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
nonetheless. A patchy rain will clear throughout the night. The | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
lowest temperatures will be around five Celsius. The sun will rise in | :16:11. | :16:21. | |

coast will have a lovely day. Variable amounts of cloud, a chance | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
of light showers in the West. There will be some sunshine and pleasant | :16:35. | :16:39. | |

up later, but as I say it is an One of England's oldest annual | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
events is under way right now. The Haxey Hood is a fourteenth-century | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
contest held between the villages of Haxey and Woodside as they | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
attempt to wrestle a leather want to one of four local pubs. Alcohol | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
is key to the preparations. It is one of the few games away | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
getting really drunk is practically a prerequisite. Fortunately for the | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
Haxey Hood getting to a pub with the trophy is the name of the game. | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
There are four involved. Crowds had to Haxey each year to take part in | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
the Haxey Hood. It is a kind of fourteenth-century scrum. Look | :18:04. | :18:14. | |

proportions, steeped in a tale of a lady using a hood and the villagers | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
vowing to return it. Even the police can be scared of controlling | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
these crowds. It goes on for quite a while, but the best team wins in | :18:39. | :18:49. | |

Ipswich Town at home at. They will hope to make it through to the 4th | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
round of the FA Cup. Caretaker- manager Nick Barmby looks set to | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
take the job on a permanent basis. Last week's home defeat to Derby | :19:29. | :19:34. | |

will be hoping for a victory as he is due to be installed as city's | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
full-time boss. Hopefully everything will be sorted out over | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
the weekend, if not Monday. It will definitely be signed over the next | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
few days. Everything is positive. Elsewhere this weekend, after | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
completing the double over Lincoln City, Ipswich Town are facing | :20:04. | :20:14. | |

Of course, enjoy your football this weekend. | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
Residents of Margaret Thatcher's home town of Grantham are enjoying | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
their chance to see the film of her life. The Iron Lady stars Hollywood | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
legend, Meryl Streep, as the former prime minister. Was there much | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
eager anticipation in the town? there certainly has been plenty of | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
excitement. The first showing of this film is already under way. As | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
you can tell by all of the decorations of the cinema, there is | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
a new level of excitement about the first night of a film here in | :20:52. | :21:02. | |
:21:02. | :21:06. | ||
Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
Grantham's most famous daughter on the silver screen. The film is | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
causing a stir in the Thatcher's causing a stir in the Thatcher's | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
home town. People in Grantham either love her or hate her. People | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
want to see how Meryl Streep performs in the film. As final | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
preparations were made for the film's first showing, cinema-goers | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
couldn't wait to see how Thatcher is portrayed. It is a very good | :21:39. | :21:47. | |
cast. I know so much about it, I wanted to see it. Everyone has | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
heard of her and seen her and seen her in action. In Grantham itself, | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
the film is drawing in visitors. This was her father's shops and | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
where she was born and brought up. The media are coming from far | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
afield to see this town. We have had French television and radio and | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
American radio. There is a great deal of curiosity and interest. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
Right Honourable Gentleman knows very well that we had no choice but | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
to close the school. The Iron Lady charts Margaret | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Thatcher's rise to power. But in her childhood her classmates had no | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
idea that she would be portrayed by a Hollywood star. She was very good | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
in the class and with her behaviour, but I would not have said that as a | :22:37. | :22:47. | |
small girl we would expect to see what she did in the future. This is | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
what she achieved, becoming Britain's first female prime | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
minister. But some are still angry today. In former mining towns like | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
Chesterfield there has been angry protest about the film's release. | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
But that has not stopped dozens flocking to see The Iron Lady on | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
:23:16. | :23:16. | ||
the big screen. Is it for tonight? They are a few | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
dozen people down in the stalls at the moment, but for the next | :23:21. | :23:25. | |

projection room here also has another Lincolnshire link. Jim | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
Broadbent, who was born on the other side of the county, is | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
playing the part of a Denis Thatcher. One person we know who | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
will not be in the audience in Grantham tonight, is Margaret | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
Thatcher herself. The director of the film has told the BBC that she | :23:47. | :23:56. | |
turned down an offer to see the film for herself. | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
Thank you. Now, vehicles getting stuck, heavy goods vehicles hitting | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
bridges and also locals getting frustrated all because of satellite | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
navigation systems. The government is trying to tackle this problem. | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
They want to reassure the information we have is bang up-to- | :24:17. | :24:27. | |

Becoming too reliant on technology can soon it lead to the need for | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
help. Especially when it comes to your sat nav. Say you're in | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
Scunthorpe and fancy a day at the races, put the shortest route in | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
your sat nav and it will take cue the long way around. The way the | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
road starts to deteriorate is giving me my first clue. When you | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
get to the bridge, you'll need a pretty thin vehicle with wheels | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
like a tractor for the other side. On a map you will find this road to | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
be either not marked at all, or of minimal quality. However sat nav | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
are quite happy to tell you it is fine. You need to use a horse to | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
get over that bridge. Unless you are local he would not know that. | :25:30. | :25:40. | |
People using a sat nav will often get down here. You can also find | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
yourself being taken through private land. It is also fine | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
according to sat nav to take your car every tiny footbridge. And | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
there was a Syrian lorry driver who ended up 1600 miles off course. | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Instead of going to Gibraltar, he went to Gibraltar Point just off | :26:05. | :26:13. | |
Skegness. We need to ensure that the sat nav Yvette to -- sat nav | :26:13. | :26:20. | |

Let's recap the headlines. The government has said there is no | :26:37. | :26:41. | |

implants. Warnings for lorry drivers and | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
