:00:09. > :00:15.He seriously injured two babies: Now the authorities say sorry for
:00:15. > :00:22.failing to stop Adam Hewitt. Diagnosed with dementia in her 30s:
:00:22. > :00:29.The story of a husband's struggle to cope. She would go out of the
:00:29. > :00:34.house and walk anywhere without any shoes. I have lost her and ended up
:00:34. > :00:37.finding her sat in the theatre. A host of frozen daffodils:
:00:37. > :00:40.Lincolnshire growers count the cost of extreme weather.

:01:05. > :01:09.Seriously flawed. East Riding of Yorkshire council's own words. It
:01:09. > :01:13.admits to failings in the way it handled a major tra protection case.
:01:13. > :01:17.The man from Bridlington has been jailed for five years after he
:01:17. > :01:23.fractured the skull of one baby and left another with permanent brain
:01:23. > :01:28.damage. Now a review has blamed social services and the police for
:01:28. > :01:35.failing to co-ordinate what they knew about Adam Hewitt or to manage
:01:35. > :01:39.the risk she posed to children. Adam Hewitt from Bridlington was
:01:39. > :01:44.jailed last week for five years for injuring -- injuries inflicted on
:01:44. > :01:52.two children. Today, a serious case review revealed how social workers
:01:52. > :01:55.and police failed to identify the rescue posed. Poor assessment and
:01:55. > :01:58.judgment from social workers left one child with permanent brain
:01:58. > :02:02.damage and another baby with a fractured skull. Today, the
:02:02. > :02:07.different agencies involved were queuing up to offer explanations
:02:07. > :02:13.and remorse. Bron Sanders from the East Riding Safeguarding Children
:02:13. > :02:17.Board has apologised for the failings. She said in a statement,
:02:17. > :02:21.the recommendations have been fully implemented. I'm confident the
:02:21. > :02:25.similar case will be managed appropriately in the future. Alison
:02:25. > :02:29.Michalska, the Director of Family and Children Services at East
:02:29. > :02:39.Riding Council has admitted the assessment process was seriously

:02:50. > :02:59.
:02:59. > :03:03.Shoppers in Bridlington today expressed their horror that while
:03:03. > :03:09.Adam Hewitt was known both to the police and social services, nobody
:03:09. > :03:13.intervened. To me, the whole system needs be changed. Not just the
:03:13. > :03:18.social services, everything. read it all the time up about all
:03:18. > :03:27.these kids. What are they getting paid for? Social services should
:03:28. > :03:31.have helped a lot more. This woman works in job protection and says
:03:31. > :03:40.the situation has improved over that -- over the last couple of
:03:40. > :03:44.years. Children who are at risk of harm a discussed within a multi-
:03:44. > :03:50.agency conference. Any plan that a child needs in order to safeguard
:03:50. > :03:55.them is made within that conference as a multi- agency agreement.
:03:55. > :04:00.agencies involved says lessons have been learned. But the people of
:04:00. > :04:07.Bridlington and beyond can only hope they have.
:04:07. > :04:12.In a moment: It hasn't been blown off course from its Hull plans by a
:04:12. > :04:15.wind farm critics. A man from Lincolnshire has told of
:04:15. > :04:20.the struggle he faced to find suitable care for his wife when she
:04:20. > :04:25.developed before the off Alzheimer's before she was 40 years
:04:25. > :04:30.old. Michelle Borjak was diagnosed when she was only 28. She lived

:05:00. > :05:03.From a young age, she started to go to London to do some to have done
:05:03. > :05:09.things because her father died of Alzheimer's when he was quite young,
:05:09. > :05:13.at 46. When she was 28 years old, she found out that she had the same
:05:13. > :05:23.gene as her father and that she was going to develop Alzheimer's at a
:05:23. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:34.young age. We had 10 good years and then when she got a 38, she would
:05:34. > :05:44.go a very drunk -- a junction when she was driving a car. -- go over
:05:44. > :05:46.
:05:46. > :05:56.the junction. We went on holiday in 2010 with some friends from the pub.
:05:56. > :05:57.
:05:57. > :06:07.She was really happy... Sorry. Five minutes after the picture was taken,
:06:07. > :06:09.
:06:09. > :06:17.she stood up, she tipped the table over and stormed out. For no reason.
:06:17. > :06:23.Sorry. We had had the European Tour boy is young, and thought when they
:06:23. > :06:33.grew up, we could live a life. -- we had the Royal International Air
:06:33. > :06:42.
:06:42. > :06:45.I had to keep the doors locked when she was at home. We used to have a
:06:45. > :06:50.dog and she used to walk miles with it and then some days she would
:06:50. > :06:55.just go out of the house and a walk everywhere with no shoes on. We
:06:55. > :07:05.used to take out the docks and I have lost her two or three times
:07:05. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:16.have I found her satin the theatre. -- sat in. I got so run-down and
:07:16. > :07:21.tired. I tried nursing homes all over the place. Because she was 43,
:07:21. > :07:30.nobody would take her. There was nothing for Michelle. They were
:07:30. > :07:37.only two best in hand that would take a. -- there were only two
:07:37. > :07:44.nursing homes that would take her. She doesn't even recognise herself
:07:44. > :07:50.sometimes. There is no where else for anybody have a certain age. It
:07:50. > :07:53.is heartbreaking. I knew she was going to get it when she had the
:07:53. > :08:00.Test, but I never thought it would get as bad as what it is. I never
:08:00. > :08:08.did. There really, really didn't. That was a Simon Borjak speaking
:08:08. > :08:10.about the impact of his wife Michelle's condition. Earlier I
:08:10. > :08:16.spoke to Dr Simon Ridley from Alzheimer's Research UK, a dementia
:08:16. > :08:23.research charity, and asked him how common Michelle's condition is?
:08:23. > :08:27.This type of inherited Alzheimer's disease is very rare. Most of the
:08:27. > :08:33.people in the UK with Alzheimer's Orin older age, so this is a rare
:08:33. > :08:38.type of dementia. And it is it always passed on to a faulty gene?
:08:38. > :08:44.Where there is a family history, it is a poor teaching. In the most
:08:44. > :08:52.common types of Alzheimer's disease, it is a far more complicated mix --
:08:53. > :08:57.it is a faulty gene. Dementia costs the UK �23 billion a year, 2.5 % of
:08:57. > :09:03.the government's medical research goes on dementia. Not very much
:09:03. > :09:10.compared to cancer, for example. Is enough being done? At Alzheimer's
:09:10. > :09:15.Research UK, we are trying to put as much money as we can researching
:09:15. > :09:20.dementia. They have made it a national priority, which is good.
:09:20. > :09:24.But it is not enough, unfortunately. If we are going to be dementia in
:09:24. > :09:27.the long term, we need to be investing in research now. We heard
:09:27. > :09:31.their from Steve about the difficulties of finding appropriate
:09:31. > :09:35.care for his wife. Is that a common problem for families? Certainly,
:09:35. > :09:41.care is a big issue for people with dementia, particularly in the later
:09:41. > :09:45.stages. Finding the right treatment and care is very important, and it
:09:45. > :09:48.is quite patchy in the services available. People with early onset
:09:48. > :09:53.dementia can have particular needs which often are not always
:09:53. > :09:59.highlighted. What about the future? Is enough being done to find a cure,
:09:59. > :10:03.or do we need to spend all our time on prevention? I think a bit of
:10:03. > :10:08.both. But we do need more research on a cure one day and we need to
:10:08. > :10:13.understand what is causing dementia. It is a very complicated disease
:10:13. > :10:21.and we need to understand the cause if we're to make real inroads into
:10:21. > :10:24.new treatments. What do you think? Should more be
:10:24. > :10:31.done to help prevent dementia or help find a cure? If you're
:10:31. > :10:41.affected by this one let me know your experiences. You can contact
:10:41. > :10:44.
:10:45. > :10:49.Police are treating the death of a man in Hull as unexplained. Rimas
:10:49. > :10:53.Kontrimas, who was 39 and from Lithuania was found dead at this
:10:53. > :10:57.House on Princes Avenue on Saturday morning. He died from an injury to
:10:57. > :11:00.the chest. The funerals have taken place today
:11:00. > :11:03.for a six year-old boy and his grandmother who drowned in the late
:11:03. > :11:09.in Lincolnshire. The bodies of Dawn Mullaney, 71 from Castle Bytham,
:11:09. > :11:14.and her grandson Laurence Mullaney Mills were found at Holywell near
:11:14. > :11:18.Stamford 10 days ago. The energy giant Siemens says it is
:11:18. > :11:20.fully committed to investing in Hull. The comments come as other
:11:20. > :11:25.Green energy companies admit they're worried about the
:11:25. > :11:35.government's attitude to renewable energy. Siemens is set to build a

:12:28. > :12:33.have been put off investing because of the government's lukewarm
:12:33. > :12:43.attitude to wind farming. Wind farms are popping up the cost --
:12:43. > :12:43.
:12:43. > :12:48.across East Yorkshire. Recently, many companies wrote to the Prime
:12:48. > :12:52.Minister to express their concerns. There were currently 14
:12:52. > :12:56.applications for wind farms like this in East Yorkshire. But his is
:12:56. > :13:01.not just politicians who are less than welcoming. In Routh, an
:13:01. > :13:06.application was rejected because of protests. My constituency is on the
:13:06. > :13:10.edge of the Lincolnshire Wells. The idea that people want the landscape
:13:11. > :13:18.cluttered with wind farms is nonsense. We want them based in the
