:00:28. > :00:34.their children. The region's first eating disorder

:00:34. > :00:39.clinic opens its doors. The teenager who stole thousands

:00:57. > :01:00.

:01:00. > :01:04.And join me in 15 minutes for the Good evening. A man from East

:01:04. > :01:10.Yorkshire who fractured the skull of one child and left another with

:01:11. > :01:14.permanent brain damage has been jailed for five years. Hull Crown

:01:14. > :01:19.Court found out that Adam Hewitt from Bridlington lost his temper

:01:19. > :01:24.and caused the injuries. Two social workers lost their jobs for failing

:01:24. > :01:30.to protect one of the children. The results of an investigation will be

:01:30. > :01:35.revealed next week. Adam Hewitt was described in court as being a

:01:35. > :01:42.danger to all young children. A low tolerance for their behaviour and

:01:42. > :01:46.an inability to control his temper. He was sentenced to five the years

:01:46. > :01:56.in prison at Hull Crown Court for causing serious injuries to two

:01:56. > :02:03.children, both are just one you all. The first attack took place in 2007.

:02:03. > :02:08.-- Botha were just one year old. He fractured at the baby's skull. He

:02:08. > :02:16.was not prosecuted for VAT and one a year later moved in with a new

:02:16. > :02:21.partner. He then was responsible for a more serious assault on her

:02:21. > :02:26.baby. The child suffered severe brain damage, broken ribs, and a

:02:26. > :02:31.broken leg. The police officer in charge of the investigation said

:02:31. > :02:34.significant force had been used and leave -- and it left the kind of

:02:34. > :02:39.injuries consistent with a car accident.

:02:39. > :02:44.He convinced that these women he was a caring and loving partner. In

:02:44. > :02:49.fact he went on to harm the children. And he did so with no

:02:49. > :02:54.witnesses and nobody there to defend the children.

:02:54. > :03:00.An inquiry has already seen two social workers lose their jobs. It

:03:00. > :03:04.is now the subject of a serious case review. The finding of the

:03:04. > :03:08.children's board will be released next week. Today a council

:03:08. > :03:13.spokesperson welcomed the sentence and said the protection of children

:03:13. > :03:16.in East Yorkshire remained their priority. The investigating officer

:03:16. > :03:20.believes that Adam Hewitt will remain at danger to young people

:03:20. > :03:25.for the rest of his life. The children year attacked meanwhile

:03:25. > :03:31.have been removed from their mothers. One is in the care of the

:03:31. > :03:37.local authority. Coming up, the Speaker of the House

:03:37. > :03:42.encourages young people to take more of an interest in politics.

:03:42. > :03:45.The family of an elderly woman who died after being left outside a

:03:45. > :03:51.care home and freezing temperatures say that failings at the home have

:03:51. > :03:57.been exposed. 84-year-old Dorothy Spicer from Market Deeping was

:03:57. > :04:05.living at the warm and Stanford when she died in November 2009. --

:04:05. > :04:12.living at the home. Our reporter is in Stamford. What is the background

:04:12. > :04:17.to the case? You can see the care home behind me.

:04:17. > :04:22.This is where in November 2009 Dorothy Spicer, and 84-year-old

:04:22. > :04:28.with Alzheimer's, was somehow allowed to remain outside all night

:04:28. > :04:31.in freezing temperatures. She died of pneumonia. The coroner said the

:04:31. > :04:36.systems in place supporter Protector were not applied. For

:04:36. > :04:44.example, a door alarm what apparently went off but it is not

:04:44. > :04:49.clear if staff checked to was outside or undertook a head count.

:04:49. > :04:52.What has been the family's reaction?

:04:52. > :04:55.They have been waiting for two years to find out exactly what

:04:56. > :05:05.happened and today the totter said that she was happy the truth was

:05:06. > :05:06.

:05:06. > :05:11.finally out there. -- the daughter. We listened to three harrowing days

:05:11. > :05:15.at an inquest. There are no words to express how I feel about the

:05:15. > :05:21.home and the people that allowed this to go on. That allowed that

:05:21. > :05:28.night to happen. A catalogue of errors.

:05:28. > :05:38.What has the Care Homes said? They're -- be released the

:05:38. > :05:44.

:05:44. > :05:47.The family say that they now want to draw a line under these

:05:47. > :05:57.distressing events and they are happy now in the knowledge that

:05:57. > :05:59.

:05:59. > :06:02.their perseverance should prevent a 600 jobs could be lost from North

:06:02. > :06:07.Lincolnshire Council over the next few years. The Conservative

:06:07. > :06:13.controlled authority has now agreed its budget plans. It is hoped that

:06:13. > :06:17.many posts will disappear through natural wastage.

:06:17. > :06:24.Police in in Lincolnshire will cost council tax payers an extra �7 per

:06:24. > :06:31.year. -- policing. It is aimed at saving 60 uniformed posts. 70 have

:06:31. > :06:35.already been cut. Just days after an alleged brawl

:06:35. > :06:40.between MPs in the House of Commons bar a young people have been told

:06:40. > :06:44.that they should take more interest in politics. That is according to

:06:44. > :06:47.John Bercow, the Speaker of the House of Commons, talking to

:06:48. > :06:55.students at Hull University and calling on politicians to work

:06:55. > :07:01.harder to improve their reputation. The Speaker speaks out. John Bercow

:07:01. > :07:04.came to Hull as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the

:07:04. > :07:10.University's politics and International Studies Department.

:07:10. > :07:14.Many of the students take a keen interest in politics. The speaker

:07:14. > :07:20.feels that what happens at Westminster is not seen as relevant

:07:20. > :07:26.to many other young people. My message to these youngsters as,

:07:26. > :07:31.OK, even if it does not fascinate you, let me try to convention. Let

:07:31. > :07:39.me try to engage you can win you over to the merits of a voting.

:07:39. > :07:43.It is estimated that 44% of 18 year olds voted compared with 65% of the

:07:43. > :07:49.general population at the most recent election. I have been out on

:07:49. > :07:56.the streets with pictures of two prominent local politicians. Alan

:07:56. > :08:03.Johnson and David Davis. Do you know who these men are?

:08:03. > :08:13.I don't have a clue. Have I guess.

:08:13. > :08:21.Is his name Richard? He is the President of the country.

:08:21. > :08:28.Not quite, at no. Alan Sugar?

:08:28. > :08:33.No, Alan Johnson. Oh, I have met him before!

:08:33. > :08:39.This follows news of a brawl between two politicians in the

:08:39. > :08:45.House of Commons bar. We do not do ourselves any favours

:08:45. > :08:52.with excessive, noisy, apparently disrespectful comments. We have to

:08:52. > :09:00.move away from that. So, a plea from the Speaker for MPs

:09:00. > :09:10.to set a better example. What do you think? Let me know. You

:09:10. > :09:23.

:09:23. > :09:27.can contact us using the details on The Sunday politics is back this

:09:27. > :09:30.weekend, looking at a deal that Lincolnshire police have just

:09:30. > :09:40.signed for the first of a privately owned police station in the United

:09:40. > :09:44.Kingdom. BBC One, made day, Sunday. The Pilgrim Hospital in Boston is

:09:44. > :09:49.reviewing the supervision of junior doctors after concerns were raised

:09:49. > :09:53.by staff. Junior doctors claim they do not get enough support Pike --

:09:53. > :09:57.from consultants. The hospital's trust says it will seek reassurance

:09:57. > :10:01.that the learning environment is effective.

:10:02. > :10:05.A women from Cleethorpes who suffer from an eating disorder says that a

:10:05. > :10:09.new unit open today will help hundreds like her. The centre is

:10:09. > :10:14.the only one of its kind in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and is

:10:14. > :10:19.designed specifically for people with eating disorders. Our reporter

:10:19. > :10:25.has been speaking to Kate Thomson, who once weighed less than a for

:10:25. > :10:29.stone and knows how important a treatment centre like this. She was

:10:29. > :10:32.just 11 years old when she became obsessed with what she was eating.

:10:32. > :10:36.Kate was later diagnosed with an eating disorder and at one point

:10:36. > :10:43.her weight plummeted to a life threatening level.

:10:43. > :10:50.I could not allow myself any other happiness. It is upsetting. You do

:10:50. > :10:56.not allow yourself any pleasure at whatsoever. I dropped to three

:10:56. > :11:02.stones �10. My head was heavier than my body, I could not lift my

:11:02. > :11:06.head. A new centre open that the Diana

:11:06. > :11:10.Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby today. It is estimated that

:11:10. > :11:17.14,000 people in the region have eating disorders and many are

:11:17. > :11:23.already lining up to use the centre. I wanted people to walk in without

:11:23. > :11:30.thinking, oh, I am in a hospital. We want them to come in and say,

:11:30. > :11:38.wow, this looks lovely. This is one of the five bedrooms

:11:38. > :11:43.designed to help people recover. But in every room you step into

:11:44. > :11:52.there are quotes on the wall. The idea is to give people help. -- to

:11:52. > :11:56.give people hope. Support groups are behind the move.

:11:56. > :12:00.Young people are developing the condition at an early age. Some as

:12:00. > :12:07.young as eight or nine. It is frightening.

:12:07. > :12:13.The Cape is now well on the road to recovery.

:12:13. > :12:20.-- Kate. I am just trying to gradually get

:12:20. > :12:24.it back more, and just smile more. She just had -- she had to travel

:12:24. > :12:34.to Leeds for treatment but is thrilled that others can get it in

:12:34. > :12:40.

:12:40. > :12:48.It is 6:41pm. Thank you for watching. Still to come - the rugby

:12:48. > :12:51.players of the future packing up tips from Hull's finest.

:12:51. > :13:01.And a tribute to a feat of engineering, made out of

:13:23. > :13:23.

:13:23. > :13:28.Another photograph on the programme John says, Peter seems to be

:13:28. > :13:34.uncomfortable when you get the weather spot on, he prefers to see

:13:34. > :13:44.you look at Phil! And your point is? It is the only thing that keeps

:13:44. > :13:45.

:13:45. > :13:49.me going! The headline for the next 24 hours

:13:49. > :13:53.is a fine one with quite a bit of sunshine and it looks as if we are

:13:53. > :13:57.in for a nice weekend right across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and

:13:58. > :14:05.North Norfolk with high pressure coming in from the south so it

:14:05. > :14:09.looks very pleasant. Quite cool at night with a widespread ground fast.

:14:09. > :14:14.There's the cold front which is taking away the milder air behind

:14:14. > :14:18.it. It is cooler, fresher, not particularly cold but we are still

:14:18. > :14:27.in February so it means a touch of frost for some. A fairly clear

:14:27. > :14:33.evening apart are part of the world. On the whole, it is dry, clear

:14:33. > :14:43.periods with temperatures down to one degrees. The summarise in the

:14:43. > :14:45.

:14:45. > :14:51.morning at 7:00am. We're off to a bright start in the morning. Quite

:14:51. > :14:55.cool but there should be a fair amount sunshine around. Dry and

:14:55. > :14:59.bright. Some patchy cloud but there will be a decent amount of sunshine.

:14:59. > :15:03.The breeze, white and moderate. Temperatures are still above

:15:03. > :15:09.average. It will feel cooler than today at these levels are not to be

:15:09. > :15:15.snapped up for February, nine or ten degrees. A touch of frost again

:15:15. > :15:18.on Saturday night. Sunday looks fine but Monday, a bit damp and

:15:18. > :15:28.dreary and there were back into the very mild weather for Tuesday and

:15:28. > :15:30.

:15:30. > :15:35.Wednesday. Chris says, can we have a mention

:15:35. > :15:45.for our society? He is chairperson of the poll huts and appreciation

:15:45. > :15:47.

:15:47. > :15:50.She's a teenager from Lincolnshire but somehow she walked into a bank

:15:50. > :15:53.and convince them that she was the model Katie Price, stealing

:15:53. > :15:56.thousands of pounds from her account. A court heard that 18

:15:56. > :15:58.year-old Kerry Marshall from Sleaford had developed a dangerous

:15:58. > :16:05.obsession with the reality TV star before buying expensive jewellery

:16:05. > :16:10.and a sports car in her name. This report contains some flash

:16:10. > :16:13.photography. Dressed like the model she is

:16:13. > :16:18.obsessed with, Kerry Marshall hid her face from cameras as she left

:16:18. > :16:25.Lincoln Crown Court. The 18 year- old had admitted six charges of

:16:25. > :16:29.fraud after trying to empty Katie Price's bank account of �25,000.

:16:29. > :16:32.The court heard Kerry Marshall had been born a man. After she began

:16:32. > :16:38.dressing as a woman, she became obsessed with reality TV star Katie

:16:38. > :16:43.Price. She even was arrested for posing as a security guard and

:16:43. > :16:50.conning in her way into the star's home. After that, Kerry Marshall

:16:50. > :16:53.somehow got hold of Katie Price's bank details. She pretended to be

:16:53. > :16:57.the model and asked the HSBC to send her a replacement bank card.

:16:58. > :17:04.Then she went on a spending spree. Marshall withdrew �1,000. Then

:17:04. > :17:07.bought a �600 bracelet, a �9000 sports car and spent �400 online.

:17:07. > :17:13.Then she took another �1500 before failing to move money to her own

:17:13. > :17:18.account. The deception was uncovered when Katie Price's own

:17:18. > :17:23.bank card stop working. The court was told the model was extremely

:17:23. > :17:28.upset. The judge told Marshall it almost beggars belief. The public

:17:28. > :17:30.would be completely shocked at how easy it was to be Miss Price. The

:17:30. > :17:38.teenager was given a two-year supervision and community order and

:17:38. > :17:41.told never to approach Katie Price ever again.

:17:41. > :17:49.A little earlier I spoke to Neil Munro who is a fraud expert who

:17:49. > :17:53.says in many ways, this is a typical fraud. What has happened

:17:53. > :17:57.here is a case of somebody has got hold of information about Katie

:17:57. > :18:06.Price, I'm not too certain where that has come from, maybe credit

:18:06. > :18:09.card details that were obtained. They will then work that

:18:09. > :18:14.information to add other information to then go and do

:18:14. > :18:17.exactly what this lady did. You say that but walking into a bank with a

:18:17. > :18:25.blonde wig and sunglasses saying your Katie Price, as the judge says,

:18:25. > :18:29.it almost beggars belief. Yes, obviously there was an attempt to

:18:29. > :18:33.look like Katie Price but of course what banks are doing these days is

:18:33. > :18:38.looking at information about the individual and I suppose if that

:18:38. > :18:42.individual looked like Katie Price and presented enough facts about

:18:42. > :18:48.Katie Price that the bank thought were genuine and valid, I suppose

:18:48. > :18:55.they probably would move forward on that basis. If someone cannot

:18:55. > :18:58.impersonate one of the country's most famous celebrities, this can

:18:58. > :19:08.happen to anyone? This is an obvious case but it does happen

:19:08. > :19:12.more and more. This account to Dover, as it is told, is one of the

:19:12. > :19:15.fastest growing areas of fraud because getting a new credit is

:19:16. > :19:22.difficult for genuine people so it is even more difficult for

:19:22. > :19:28.fraudsters so they are now attacking a current tax -- current

:19:28. > :19:33.accounts. What can the rest of us do to make sure that somebody else

:19:33. > :19:38.doesn't become last and get our money? The first thing is to

:19:38. > :19:42.recognise information about you is worth more than the gold credit

:19:42. > :19:45.cards to a for Ulster. So, look after it, make sure you only give

:19:45. > :19:49.it out when you need to would also make sure you are checking

:19:49. > :19:53.everything you've got on a regular basis, checking back accounts

:19:53. > :19:57.regularly to make sure of the payments are going out and are

:19:58. > :20:04.genuine and Schneider Show that you check your credit history on a

:20:04. > :20:14.regular basis as well so you going to as many sources as possible to

:20:14. > :20:18.

:20:18. > :20:22.identify potential activities so you can stop it as soon as possible.

:20:22. > :20:26.If you have a story for us, contact us. We had a really mixed response

:20:26. > :20:29.from you after our story about the Cat Zero project based in Hull.

:20:29. > :20:32.Launched three years ago, it was hailed as a new way of getting

:20:32. > :20:33.young people into jobs, education or training. One of its most

:20:33. > :20:36.controversial aspects involved spending �500,000 of taxpayers'

:20:36. > :20:40.money on a yacht, training young people to sail. But managers behind

:20:40. > :20:50.the scheme says it has been a huge success, saving millions in the

:20:50. > :21:25.

:21:25. > :21:29.One of Hull FC's top stars has been passing on his expertise to

:21:29. > :21:32.children in the city. England player Tom Briscoe was at Hull's

:21:32. > :21:42.half-term training camp giving tips to the potential stars of the

:21:42. > :21:44.

:21:44. > :21:53.future. Their dreams are crystal clear,

:21:53. > :21:57.they want to emulate their heroes and start for Hull FC. Today this

:21:57. > :22:07.academy is their KC Stadium. Watching their every move is Tom

:22:07. > :22:10.

:22:10. > :22:16.Briscoe and his team-mate. Tom's words are listened to intended.

:22:16. > :22:20.main thing is just the enjoyment. Time out to play rugby is a very

:22:20. > :22:24.important. I did it when I was younger and I enjoyed every minute

:22:24. > :22:30.of it and that is what I want to do so hopefully we can see some of

:22:30. > :22:34.these in the future playing. After time on the field executing those

:22:34. > :22:40.drills, it is back to the sports hall to receive well earned

:22:40. > :22:44.commendations. While the immediate future of Hull FC rests on people

:22:44. > :22:49.like Tom Briscoe, it seems the long-term future is in good hands.

:22:49. > :22:53.Tom Briscoe told us that when you on the wing and it is a windy day,

:22:53. > :22:58.always keep your eye on the ball and get under it. When you're on

:22:58. > :23:03.the wing, if you don't want to get wiped out, keep down low so you can

:23:03. > :23:12.score in the corner. What did you think of him as a player?

:23:12. > :23:16.brilliant player, I hope he stays with us. Tonight Hull plays at

:23:16. > :23:22.Salford. There's full commentary on Hull

:23:22. > :23:25.FC's game at Salford on BBC Radio Humberside tonight. The build-up

:23:25. > :23:28.has started with Sportstalk which is on now.

:23:28. > :23:30.Football - Scunthorpe United will be hoping to put their midweek

:23:30. > :23:35.disappointment behind them when they play Brentford at Glandford

:23:35. > :23:40.Park tomorrow. You can hear commentary of that keen on BBC

:23:40. > :23:43.Radio Humberside on FM from 1:30pm. On medium wave and DAB, you'll be

:23:43. > :23:51.able to hear Grimsby Town's FA Trophy match against York City.

:23:51. > :23:54.Coverage starts at 1:30pm and both matches kick-off at 3pm. BBC

:23:54. > :24:03.Lincolnshire will have coverage of Lincoln City's Conference game

:24:03. > :24:06.against Telford from 2pm. It's a bridge you might recognise,

:24:06. > :24:09.but made entirely from Matchsticks - over one hundred and twenty-five

:24:09. > :24:12.thousand of them. It's the painstaking result of 16 months

:24:12. > :24:22.work by George Brown. Now he's given it away to his daughter's

:24:22. > :24:28.

:24:28. > :24:32.school. A Humber bridge that is a marvel in

:24:32. > :24:37.structural engineering, or inspiring in its majestic design

:24:37. > :24:41.and the painstaking time it took to complete. But for all its splendour,
