Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:

:00:06.:00:09.

He seriously injured two babies: Now the authorities say sorry for

:00:09.:00:15.

failing to stop Adam Hewitt. Diagnosed with dementia in her 30s:

:00:15.:00:22.

The story of a husband's struggle to cope. She would go out of the

:00:22.:00:29.

house and walk anywhere without any shoes. I have lost her and ended up

:00:29.:00:34.

finding her sat in the theatre. A host of frozen daffodils:

:00:34.:00:37.

Lincolnshire growers count the cost of extreme weather.

:00:37.:00:40.

And she doesn't have a full-time coach, but this teenager has

:00:40.:00:46.

reached trials for the Olympics. And an exceptionally mild day to

:00:46.:00:56.
:00:56.:01:00.

come tomorrow. The forecast had a few minutes. -- in a few minutes.

:01:00.:01:05.

Seriously flawed. East Riding of Yorkshire council's own words. It

:01:05.:01:09.

admits to failings in the way it handled a major tra protection case.

:01:09.:01:13.

The man from Bridlington has been jailed for five years after he

:01:13.:01:17.

fractured the skull of one baby and left another with permanent brain

:01:17.:01:23.

damage. Now a review has blamed social services and the police for

:01:23.:01:28.

failing to co-ordinate what they knew about Adam Hewitt or to manage

:01:28.:01:35.

the risk she posed to children. Adam Hewitt from Bridlington was

:01:35.:01:39.

jailed last week for five years for injuring -- injuries inflicted on

:01:39.:01:44.

two children. Today, a serious case review revealed how social workers

:01:44.:01:52.

and police failed to identify the rescue posed. Poor assessment and

:01:52.:01:55.

judgment from social workers left one child with permanent brain

:01:55.:01:58.

damage and another baby with a fractured skull. Today, the

:01:58.:02:02.

different agencies involved were queuing up to offer explanations

:02:02.:02:07.

and remorse. Bron Sanders from the East Riding Safeguarding Children

:02:07.:02:13.

Board has apologised for the failings. She said in a statement,

:02:13.:02:17.

the recommendations have been fully implemented. I'm confident the

:02:17.:02:21.

similar case will be managed appropriately in the future. Alison

:02:21.:02:25.

Michalska, the Director of Family and Children Services at East

:02:25.:02:29.

Riding Council has admitted the assessment process was seriously

:02:29.:02:39.
:02:39.:02:40.

Meanwhile, Alan Leaver, Assistant Chief Constable at Humberside

:02:40.:02:50.
:02:50.:02:59.

Shoppers in Bridlington today expressed their horror that while

:02:59.:03:03.

Adam Hewitt was known both to the police and social services, nobody

:03:03.:03:09.

intervened. To me, the whole system needs be changed. Not just the

:03:09.:03:13.

social services, everything. read it all the time up about all

:03:13.:03:18.

these kids. What are they getting paid for? Social services should

:03:18.:03:27.

have helped a lot more. This woman works in job protection and says

:03:28.:03:31.

the situation has improved over that -- over the last couple of

:03:31.:03:40.

years. Children who are at risk of harm a discussed within a multi-

:03:40.:03:44.

agency conference. Any plan that a child needs in order to safeguard

:03:44.:03:50.

them is made within that conference as a multi- agency agreement.

:03:50.:03:55.

agencies involved says lessons have been learned. But the people of

:03:55.:04:00.

Bridlington and beyond can only hope they have.

:04:00.:04:07.

In a moment: It hasn't been blown off course from its Hull plans by a

:04:07.:04:12.

wind farm critics. A man from Lincolnshire has told of

:04:12.:04:15.

the struggle he faced to find suitable care for his wife when she

:04:15.:04:20.

developed before the off Alzheimer's before she was 40 years

:04:20.:04:25.

old. Michelle Borjak was diagnosed when she was only 28. She lived

:04:25.:04:30.

with her husband Steve at Wickenby near Louth and their two songs

:04:30.:04:40.
:04:40.:04:45.

before she had to go into care. -- sons. six only 600 people diagnosed

:04:45.:04:55.
:04:55.:04:56.

with Alzheimer's find out before the age of 40 -- only 600 people.

:04:56.:05:00.

From a young age, she started to go to London to do some to have done

:05:00.:05:03.

things because her father died of Alzheimer's when he was quite young,

:05:03.:05:09.

at 46. When she was 28 years old, she found out that she had the same

:05:09.:05:13.

gene as her father and that she was going to develop Alzheimer's at a

:05:13.:05:23.
:05:23.:05:27.

young age. We had 10 good years and then when she got a 38, she would

:05:27.:05:34.

go a very drunk -- a junction when she was driving a car. -- go over

:05:34.:05:44.
:05:44.:05:46.

the junction. We went on holiday in 2010 with some friends from the pub.

:05:46.:05:56.
:05:56.:05:57.

She was really happy... Sorry. Five minutes after the picture was taken,

:05:57.:06:07.
:06:07.:06:09.

she stood up, she tipped the table over and stormed out. For no reason.

:06:09.:06:17.

Sorry. We had had the European Tour boy is young, and thought when they

:06:17.:06:23.

grew up, we could live a life. -- we had the Royal International Air

:06:23.:06:33.
:06:33.:06:42.

I had to keep the doors locked when she was at home. We used to have a

:06:42.:06:45.

dog and she used to walk miles with it and then some days she would

:06:45.:06:50.

just go out of the house and a walk everywhere with no shoes on. We

:06:50.:06:55.

used to take out the docks and I have lost her two or three times

:06:55.:07:05.
:07:05.:07:10.

have I found her satin the theatre. -- sat in. I got so run-down and

:07:10.:07:16.

tired. I tried nursing homes all over the place. Because she was 43,

:07:16.:07:21.

nobody would take her. There was nothing for Michelle. They were

:07:21.:07:30.

only two best in hand that would take a. -- there were only two

:07:30.:07:37.

nursing homes that would take her. She doesn't even recognise herself

:07:37.:07:44.

sometimes. There is no where else for anybody have a certain age. It

:07:44.:07:50.

is heartbreaking. I knew she was going to get it when she had the

:07:50.:07:53.

Test, but I never thought it would get as bad as what it is. I never

:07:53.:08:00.

did. There really, really didn't. That was a Simon Borjak speaking

:08:00.:08:08.

about the impact of his wife Michelle's condition. Earlier I

:08:08.:08:10.

spoke to Dr Simon Ridley from Alzheimer's Research UK, a dementia

:08:10.:08:16.

research charity, and asked him how common Michelle's condition is?

:08:16.:08:23.

This type of inherited Alzheimer's disease is very rare. Most of the

:08:23.:08:27.

people in the UK with Alzheimer's Orin older age, so this is a rare

:08:27.:08:33.

type of dementia. And it is it always passed on to a faulty gene?

:08:33.:08:38.

Where there is a family history, it is a poor teaching. In the most

:08:38.:08:44.

common types of Alzheimer's disease, it is a far more complicated mix --

:08:44.:08:52.

it is a faulty gene. Dementia costs the UK �23 billion a year, 2.5 % of

:08:53.:08:57.

the government's medical research goes on dementia. Not very much

:08:57.:09:03.

compared to cancer, for example. Is enough being done? At Alzheimer's

:09:03.:09:10.

Research UK, we are trying to put as much money as we can researching

:09:10.:09:15.

dementia. They have made it a national priority, which is good.

:09:15.:09:20.

But it is not enough, unfortunately. If we are going to be dementia in

:09:20.:09:24.

the long term, we need to be investing in research now. We heard

:09:24.:09:27.

their from Steve about the difficulties of finding appropriate

:09:27.:09:31.

care for his wife. Is that a common problem for families? Certainly,

:09:31.:09:35.

care is a big issue for people with dementia, particularly in the later

:09:35.:09:41.

stages. Finding the right treatment and care is very important, and it

:09:41.:09:45.

is quite patchy in the services available. People with early onset

:09:45.:09:48.

dementia can have particular needs which often are not always

:09:48.:09:53.

highlighted. What about the future? Is enough being done to find a cure,

:09:53.:09:59.

or do we need to spend all our time on prevention? I think a bit of

:09:59.:10:03.

both. But we do need more research on a cure one day and we need to

:10:03.:10:08.

understand what is causing dementia. It is a very complicated disease

:10:08.:10:13.

and we need to understand the cause if we're to make real inroads into

:10:13.:10:21.

new treatments. What do you think? Should more be

:10:21.:10:24.

done to help prevent dementia or help find a cure? If you're

:10:24.:10:31.

affected by this one let me know your experiences. You can contact

:10:31.:10:41.
:10:41.:10:44.

Police are treating the death of a man in Hull as unexplained. Rimas

:10:45.:10:49.

Kontrimas, who was 39 and from Lithuania was found dead at this

:10:49.:10:53.

House on Princes Avenue on Saturday morning. He died from an injury to

:10:53.:10:57.

the chest. The funerals have taken place today

:10:57.:11:00.

for a six year-old boy and his grandmother who drowned in the late

:11:00.:11:03.

in Lincolnshire. The bodies of Dawn Mullaney, 71 from Castle Bytham,

:11:03.:11:09.

and her grandson Laurence Mullaney Mills were found at Holywell near

:11:09.:11:14.

Stamford 10 days ago. The energy giant Siemens says it is

:11:14.:11:18.

fully committed to investing in Hull. The comments come as other

:11:18.:11:20.

Green energy companies admit they're worried about the

:11:20.:11:25.

government's attitude to renewable energy. Siemens is set to build a

:11:25.:11:35.
:11:35.:11:35.

new wind turbine factory at Hull Docks. It is the �200 million

:11:35.:11:40.

factory that will put Hull at the heart of the renewables revolution.

:11:40.:11:45.

The Siemens plant on Hull Docks will create offshore turbines for

:11:45.:11:51.

the North Sea and 700 jobs. Today, Siemens renewed their commitment

the city. The government has recently been consulting on

:11:57.:12:00.

policies for win power. We have been very encouraged by the

:12:00.:12:04.

response and we are pushing ahead with our plans in Hull. We are

:12:04.:12:09.

making -- making a commitment here. The century, the first big step is

:12:09.:12:17.

to put those planning applications in -- essentially. It is reassuring

:12:17.:12:23.

commit went. -- commitments. The Guardian claims that some companies

:12:23.:12:28.

have been put off investing because of the government's lukewarm

:12:28.:12:33.

attitude to wind farming. Wind farms are popping up the cost --

:12:33.:12:43.
:12:43.:12:43.

across East Yorkshire. Recently, many companies wrote to the Prime

:12:43.:12:48.

Minister to express their concerns. There were currently 14

:12:48.:12:52.

applications for wind farms like this in East Yorkshire. But his is

:12:52.:12:56.

not just politicians who are less than welcoming. In Routh, an

:12:56.:13:01.

application was rejected because of protests. My constituency is on the

:13:01.:13:06.

edge of the Lincolnshire Wells. The idea that people want the landscape

:13:06.:13:10.

cluttered with wind farms is nonsense. We want them based in the

:13:11.:13:18.

north to the. We want maintenance based in Lincolnshire -- North Sea.

:13:18.:13:22.

But it is one thing for those near wind turbines to object, but when

:13:22.:13:26.

MPs are raising concerns in numbers, the impression it gives to major

is the latest for the plans? Sometimes ago, Siemens admitted

:13:49.:13:54.

just forms they would fill in on the off chance. They are up

:13:54.:13:58.

detailed plans that would have cost tens of thousands of pounds. They

took those plans are a tour of the city to show other businesses their

ambitions and they have also continued to order steel from Tata

:14:06.:14:16.

Steel to make buildings. And the boss of Siemens said that he hopes

:14:16.:14:23.

by the end of the spring he will have some positive news about the

applications and the future of the site.

February's bizarre weather may have cost Lincolnshire daffodil growers

:17:18.:17:22.

hundreds of thousands of pounds in lost sales. A warm beginning of the

:17:22.:17:26.

month followed by extreme frost meant that some varieties were

:17:26.:17:32.

badly damaged. Around 40% of UK daffodils are grown in the county.

:17:32.:17:36.

At Holbeach in the heart of South Lincolnshire it stands a host of

:17:36.:17:42.

golden daffodils, but every single one of them is going to waste.

:17:42.:17:47.

weeks ago we had temperatures of minus 16 overnight. A lot of the

:17:47.:17:51.

flowers are already through the ground, ready to be picked, and

:17:51.:17:56.

they have had a terrible effect on their stems. Some of them have stem

:17:57.:18:04.

damage, such as this one here. That would not look very pretty in a

:18:04.:18:09.

vase. Others are failing to come out properly. More than an acre of

:18:09.:18:15.

daffodils has been lost here. That is 1.5 million stems in total. Many

:18:15.:18:19.

growers have lost some or all of their early crop. I have been

:18:19.:18:23.

growing for over 30 years and I have never seen such cold

:18:23.:18:27.

temperatures that occur at this late. We have quite a lot of leaf

:18:27.:18:35.

damage. That will probably carry over to the following year.

:18:35.:18:38.

Meanwhile, the job of picking the unaffected flowers continues in

:18:38.:18:43.

earnest. For growers here in Lincolnshire, the main daffodil

:18:43.:18:46.

season is just starting to get under way and babble but at their

:18:46.:18:53.

busiest in the next few weeks, with mothering Sunday. Daffodil

:18:53.:18:58.

production is around -- worth around �50 million to the UK

:18:58.:19:02.

economy and around 40% of the crop is produced in Lincolnshire, but

:19:02.:19:05.

farmers here say they are still confident they can make up for the

:19:05.:19:15.

The countdown to the Olympics is well under way. This is the clock

:19:28.:19:34.

She is only 15 but Chloe Hannam has confounded everyone by joining

:20:03.:20:07.

but we have a phenomenal team of volunteers to keep the club

:20:07.:20:11.

brimming and ticking over. In the meantime, or we have had some great

by his drive -- the strike from Brett Seymour.

:21:23.:21:27.

But in the dying minutes, Hull conceded a penalty which allowed

Salford to claim victory, 24 to talk -- 24-22.

Hull Kingston Rovers had no answer to Warrington as they went down at

Thousands of acres of ancient wetlands are to be restored around

:22:49.:22:54.

the Humber to help protect some of our rarest plants and animals. The

:22:54.:22:58.

area, known as the Humberhead Levels, has won a share of �7

:22:58.:23:02.

million of Government money, to help local groups improved and

:23:02.:23:07.

protect their local habitats. Our reporter has been to a new nature

:23:07.:23:10.

reserve in North Cave near Brough which will benefit from the money.

:23:10.:23:15.

Ten years ago, this land in North Cape was picked to be the next

:23:15.:23:18.

landfill site but the local community for its plans and decided

:23:18.:23:23.

to create a nature reserve. Today it is home to more than 200 species

:23:23.:23:29.

of wildlife, and attracts around 20,000 visitors a year. We have

:23:29.:23:33.

designed it to create a wide variety of habitats to attract many

:23:33.:23:37.

different species of the water and other birds. But we have also put

:23:37.:23:45.

in facilities, packs and hides for anybody that is interested in

:23:45.:23:49.

coming into the countryside. This is just one part of Humberhead

:23:49.:23:53.

Levels, an area which contains a unique network of wetlands, now

:23:53.:23:59.
