:01:02. > :01:06.Good evening. The BBC understands that four nurses and a health care
:01:06. > :01:10.support worker have been suspended from the children's ward at the
:01:10. > :01:15.Scunthorpe General Hospital. It is alleged that a baby was restrained
:01:16. > :01:22.and injured while being treated on the Disney Ward. When did this
:01:22. > :01:26.happen? We understand that this incident occurred within the last
:01:26. > :01:31.few weeks and that it was on the Disney Ward, here at Scunthorpe
:01:31. > :01:38.General Hospital, which is the children's ward. We understand that
:01:38. > :01:43.an allegation was made that a baby was restrained and injured, and
:01:43. > :01:48.that was why it was being treated on the ward. We understand that it
:01:48. > :01:56.is about a year old and that five staff have since been suspended.
:01:56. > :02:01.What are the hospital and police saying tonight? The Hospitals Trust
:02:01. > :02:05.has confirmed to us that it is investigating an incident. My head

:03:37. > :03:42.stolen near Beverley in East Yorkshire. Another mile has been
:03:42. > :03:47.damaged. It means hundreds of homes it may not get their phone lines

:04:02. > :04:05.metal beads. They describe -- and they struck at night ripping up
:04:05. > :04:11.tons of telephone cables. It was sheer luck that this couple were
:04:11. > :04:16.home on Saturday night. They heard tapping on their window and it was
:04:16. > :04:21.their 92-year-old neighbour who had taken ill. She had to come out of
:04:21. > :04:26.her house because she did not have the phone. She needed help quite
:04:26. > :04:31.urgently. We needed to get her an ambulance. We don't have a
:04:31. > :04:36.particularly good mobile reception so it was very difficult to get
:04:36. > :04:40.hold of anyone to begin with. We couldn't get a signal. Nancy was
:04:40. > :04:46.too ill to talk to us today but like half of the village, she lost
:04:46. > :04:51.her telephone because it thieves stole two kilometres of cable from
:04:51. > :04:56.just outside the village. It is a massive job to repair and it is
:04:56. > :05:01.causing tailbacks surround the area. This particular area was a very
:05:01. > :05:08.severe incident and we lost two kilometres of cable, which was cut
:05:08. > :05:13.up to 15 -- cab at up to 15 locations. It has been a difficult
:05:13. > :05:18.task to get it online. Engineers have been working around the club.
:05:18. > :05:22.BT cable is distinguishable. Most merchants in the Humberside Police
:05:22. > :05:28.area have signed up to a code of conduct that forbids them from
:05:28. > :05:33.buying it. Someone somewhere is willing to pay. Almost a week
:05:33. > :05:37.without connection has made running a business difficult. Lots of

:05:47. > :05:54.machine that runs on a BT line and people have not been able to do --
:05:54. > :05:58.to use it. It could be Monday before repairs are complete which

:06:15. > :06:20.costing railway and phone companies millions of pounds a year and
:06:20. > :06:24.causing massive disruption to their customers. We report on the
:06:24. > :06:30.technology used to track the feed. From churches to cars, all of these
:06:30. > :06:35.are targets of metal thieves. There is a van, driven onto tracks near
:06:35. > :06:40.Hull, shows how far they will go to get their loot. Police have to be
:06:40. > :06:45.one step ahead. We have asked the Scrap Metal Dealers Act to sign up
:06:45. > :06:50.to a voluntary code. They ask for identification and install good
:06:50. > :06:53.quality CCTV. We have an information-sharing agreement
:06:53. > :06:57.whereby we release details of people convicted of metal theft and
:06:57. > :07:04.asked them not to trade with them. Thieves are turning to professional
:07:04. > :07:08.methods. This man helps repair phone cables but criminals have

:17:08. > :17:14.they have handed out as many tickets in one month as the old
:17:14. > :17:20.police wardens gave out in a year. Traders say it is driving customers
:17:20. > :17:23.away. Bryan Hepworth is disabled and often relies on the goodwill of
:17:24. > :17:28.others to get out. On a recent visit to his optician in
:17:28. > :17:32.Bridlington Town Centre, that is not what he got. Instead, he was
:17:32. > :17:38.told by a traffic warden to move his car or get a ticket. I have
:17:38. > :17:44.always left my car there. Commonsense today, I was only a
:17:44. > :17:47.quarter of an hour. But they are a law unto themselves. The ease
:17:47. > :17:53.traffic wardens are new. East Riding of Yorkshire Council took
:17:53. > :17:56.over parking duties from Humberside Police in November with what they
:17:56. > :18:01.call civil enforcement officers. In that same month, these wardens
:18:01. > :18:04.issued more tickets than the police issued in a whole year. They police,
:18:04. > :18:08.because they knew they were giving up that service, run the service
:18:08. > :18:12.down and only had a few number of officers dealing with traffic
:18:12. > :18:19.warden duties. Those officers would be used for other police priorities
:18:19. > :18:23.as well. Although there is free parking available in the town
:18:23. > :18:28.centre, it is limited. As well as that, the time you can stay packed
:18:28. > :18:33.up for is not law. The shopkeepers I spoke to were concerned that the
:18:33. > :18:37.new wardens are bad for business. When business is struggling, a lot
:18:37. > :18:42.of business in the town would like to see more people coming into the
:18:42. > :18:46.town, but I think the new enforcement officers are being very
:18:46. > :18:53.keen and not giving people a chance. We do know what people being in
:18:53. > :18:56.trouble for parking. We want as many customers as we can get.
:18:56. > :19:00.Easter onwards, parking restrictions here in Bridlington
:19:00. > :19:04.will become even stricter. Along the seafront, weekend charges and
:19:04. > :19:09.now back in operation. With hundreds of thousands of visitors
:19:09. > :19:16.expected during the summer, it is likely there will be even more
:19:16. > :19:23.tickets handed out. That is another one you might have
:19:23. > :19:27.an opinion on. If you have, get in touch. Thank you to everyone who

:24:51. > :24:58.not been one of the main attractions. Just a handful of
:24:58. > :25:03.visitors coming to see him. Staff here are keen to keep him out of

:25:42. > :25:48.sea or by the close. When this one is released, it will have to decide
:25:48. > :25:53.whether to go south or make its way north to Bempton Cliffs. This is
