:00:09. > :00:16.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines: The plan
:00:16. > :00:19.to ease the drought by pumping millions of litres of water into
:00:19. > :00:23.Lincolnshire. We will be able to use that water
:00:23. > :00:27.to set about 100,000 homes. There death of a grandmother is blamed on
:00:27. > :00:32.failures at an East Yorkshire hospital.
:00:32. > :00:36.5,000 tickets in five months. Claims that fines are harming East
:00:36. > :00:39.Yorkshire's economy. And how the Wolds masterpieces by
:00:40. > :00:44.Hockney have brought in the crowds in London.
:00:44. > :00:54.And we have a week of April showers, but there will be sunshine at times.
:00:54. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:02.I will have the forecast later. Good evening. Millions of litres of
:01:03. > :01:07.water could be pumped into Lincolnshire every day from
:01:07. > :01:12.Birmingham to ease the effects of the drought. Anglian Water is in
:01:12. > :01:17.talks with Severn Trent Water about the plan. It told us it is looking
:01:17. > :01:21.at using the canal network to transport water. The company
:01:21. > :01:25.insists customers will not bear the cost of water transfers. Tarah
:01:25. > :01:30.Welsh reports. He on the banks of the River Trent
:01:30. > :01:35.in Gainsborough, we are in track. Over the bridge in Nottinghamshire,
:01:35. > :01:39.they ran no water restrictions and no hosepipe bans. A further down
:01:39. > :01:45.river, there is even a surplus, and it is hoped millions of litres will
:01:45. > :01:49.head this way. Severn Trent do not have any restrictions. We are
:01:49. > :01:54.moving water around our region, so we have enough for our customers.
:01:54. > :01:59.We also have a bit of surplus. We are looking to cover costs and make
:01:59. > :02:03.a small profit. Water would come from boreholes and the Birmingham
:02:03. > :02:08.area. It would go into the River Tame, then that would flow into the
:02:08. > :02:14.River Trent, 80 miles across the country, ending up in Gainsborough.
:02:14. > :02:17.It would be cleaned and process as normal at this treatment plants in
:02:17. > :02:22.Lincolnshire. A 30 million litres of water would make the journey
:02:22. > :02:27.across the country every day. That would be enough to supply 100,000
:02:27. > :02:31.homes, helping to ease the shortage here. If the deal goes ahead, this
:02:31. > :02:38.process could begin in June. While the hosepipe ban would remain in
:02:38. > :02:45.place, businesses whose survival depends on water welcome it.
:02:45. > :02:50.Obviously, we are a garden-centre and we need water. Anglian Water is
:02:50. > :02:54.also considering using canals to move water across the country.
:02:54. > :02:58.Moving it across counties is already happening. In East
:02:58. > :03:02.Yorkshire, extra water is being pumped in from the West and the
:03:02. > :03:06.North. The water companies still meet to agree a deal, but say
:03:07. > :03:11.sharing supplies could bring bills down. Not all customers are
:03:11. > :03:16.convinced. They need to find some way round it, putter realistic
:03:16. > :03:21.system in place that will last. -- put a realistic system in place.
:03:22. > :03:27.You should not have to buy water. It should be going where it is
:03:27. > :03:31.needed. My concern would be, being selfish, will we end up with Severn
:03:31. > :03:35.Trent have been a shortage, and will we have a hosepipe ban?
:03:35. > :03:39.According to experts, water trading could save millions of pounds, but
:03:39. > :03:46.say we are still in drought and all have to continue to try to save
:03:47. > :03:51.water. I asked Mike Cook from Anglian
:03:51. > :03:57.Water how likely it was that the transfers would go ahead.
:03:57. > :04:02.prospects are changing all the time in terms of the drought. We are
:04:02. > :04:07.likely to face quite a dry summer. We need to be prepared for a third
:04:07. > :04:12.dry winter. These options are proving to be quite important.
:04:12. > :04:16.that, you were going to bring water in from the Midlands?
:04:16. > :04:20.necessarily. It depends on what happens through the summer and next
:04:20. > :04:24.winter. It is a scheme that is under consideration along with
:04:24. > :04:28.others. What else is under consideration? We are looking at
:04:28. > :04:35.options to move water using canal systems, and talking to whether
:04:35. > :04:40.water companies about sharing resources. It sounds quite
:04:40. > :04:47.desperate. Canal systems have been talked about a lot in terms of
:04:47. > :04:54.forming part of a water grade. It would seem quite a logical step.
:04:54. > :05:02.you do this, with bringing water from another area, Anglian Water
:05:02. > :05:09.customers pay among the highest in the country, could you guarantee
:05:09. > :05:14.that their bills would not go up? There is a lot that is transferred
:05:14. > :05:22.very close to Lincoln. Some of that water is sourced from the other
:05:22. > :05:26.side of Birmingham. I do not see any additional costs due to this.
:05:26. > :05:32.Will this mean business is definitely will not face a ban on
:05:32. > :05:37.using water this summer? These schemes are very much at a concept
:05:37. > :05:41.stage. It will take some time to get all permits in place from the
:05:41. > :05:47.Environment Agency that need to support such transfers. Also, a lot
:05:47. > :05:53.of discussions need to be held with the water company. Very good to
:05:53. > :05:59.talk to you. Thank you. It thank you. If you want to comment on that,
:05:59. > :06:05.our details coming up some. In a moment: Staff at Lincoln Prison say
:06:05. > :06:09.a rise in foreign inmates is making their job more difficult.
:06:09. > :06:13.An investigation into the death of a woman at a hospital in East
:06:13. > :06:18.Yorkshire has found serious failings in her care. Joan Fisher,
:06:18. > :06:23.who was 83, died of a cardiac arrest. Her son convinced the
:06:23. > :06:29.Health Ombudsman to investigate. Emma Massey reports.
:06:29. > :06:35.My mum was very proud of the garden she had. She continually entered
:06:35. > :06:40.the Hull in Bloom competitions. years today since her death, Dave
:06:40. > :06:44.Fisher fondly remembers his mother, Joan. She was taken into hospital
:06:44. > :06:49.suffering from a short of breath. Two days later, she died from a
:06:49. > :06:54.cardiac arrest. All medical expect that reviewed the case said had she
:06:54. > :07:00.been treated for heart failure more aggressively from the start, she
:07:00. > :07:10.may have survived. Jen was first treated here at Castle Hill
:07:10. > :07:15.Hospital, but then moved on to read Janet logical -- then move on to a
:07:15. > :07:20.gynaecological ward. They said it was because they had a bed crisis.

:07:26. > :07:35.pick my mother? She is 83. So sure that her death was due to a
:07:35. > :07:37.catalogue of errors by NHS staff, and despite his grief, Joan's son
:07:37. > :07:44.complained to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. It

:08:02. > :08:07.things. You do not expected to go that far. It was a tragedy after
:08:07. > :08:11.tragedy. In response to the case, Hull and East Yorkshire NHS Trust
:08:11. > :08:17.said it would be inappropriate to comment until the coroner's inquest
:08:17. > :08:20.has concluded. That is expected in the coming months. Until then, Dave
:08:20. > :08:29.and his family will continue to wait answers from the hospital
:08:29. > :08:33.where Joan died. A mother and her nine-year-old
:08:33. > :08:38.daughter I said to be improving in hospital following a car crash near
:08:38. > :08:46.Goole on Saturday, in which three people died. Derek Sarkar and his
:08:46. > :08:51.son Ethan, who was 14, were killed in a head-on collision on the A 614.
:08:51. > :08:56.70-year-old Sheila Stavert-Lee, who was travelling in another car, also
:08:56. > :08:59.died. Ethan's sister Abbie is in a stable condition in Leeds General
:08:59. > :09:04.Infirmary, while his mother Karen is described as poorly.
:09:04. > :09:08.BAe has pleaded guilty to breaching health and safety regulations after

:09:14. > :09:18.factory two years ago -- Gary Whiting. The company accepted his

:09:21. > :09:25.caught the fire should be at least �100,000.
:09:25. > :09:29.Concern is growing about the number of parking tickets being handed out
:09:29. > :09:34.in East Yorkshire since the council to cut the responsibility for
:09:34. > :09:42.parking from the police last year. Figures show the Council wardens
:09:43. > :09:47.are issuing four times as many tickets as the police state. -- as
:09:47. > :09:52.the police state. Dave Brown says trade at his
:09:52. > :09:56.motorbike accessory shop has been badly hit by a council's strict
:09:56. > :10:00.enforcement of parking regulations. His customers say parking
:10:00. > :10:03.attendants are putting them off going into his shop. If people
:10:03. > :10:08.deserve a ticket, they should get a ticket, but I strongly believe
:10:08. > :10:11.there should be some leeway for people who just want to nip into a
:10:11. > :10:17.shop. If they are five minutes late back to their car, I do not think
:10:17. > :10:21.they should get a ticket. Parking in East Riding is now dealt with by
:10:21. > :10:26.the council after they took over from police last autumn. Much of
:10:26. > :10:30.central Bridlington has a one hour maximum for us -- maximum for
:10:30. > :10:34.visitors which is strictly enforced. Nobody disputes traffic wardens
:10:34. > :10:39.have a job to do, but what seems to be the case is that the town is
:10:39. > :10:44.becoming a victim of their efficiency. Across the East Riding,
:10:44. > :10:51.around 1,000 tickets are issued every month. They are driving a lot
:10:51. > :10:55.of people away. You cannot like anywhere for more than an hour.
:10:55. > :10:59.council says it's parking policies are not about making money, and its
:10:59. > :11:03.wardens are trained to use common sense. The wardens are expected to
:11:03. > :11:07.use appropriate common sense in terms of their approach. We
:11:07. > :11:11.received positive feedback about that. The message is, we have had
:11:11. > :11:15.hundreds of requests from residents across these Riding FA help with
:11:15. > :11:19.people who were parking indiscriminately. We need to make
:11:19. > :11:23.sure we have safety for pedestrians and motorists. The council believes
:11:23. > :11:32.it has the balance right between enforcement and commonsense, but
:11:32. > :11:36.clearly, not everyone agrees. It will be interesting to get your
:11:36. > :11:41.thoughts on this one. Do you agree that rise in the number of fines
:11:41. > :11:51.can harm business is by putting off shoppers? Are the drivers to blame
:11:51. > :12:05.
:12:05. > :12:09.Thank you for what shame this Tuesday night. Still ahead: Half a
:12:09. > :12:13.million people take the chance to see David Hockney's pictures of the
:12:13. > :12:23.East Yorkshire countryside. And how the weather failed to ruin
:12:23. > :12:29.
:12:29. > :12:36.the Easter holiday for our work If you have a picture you are proud
:12:36. > :12:40.of, send it in. Thank you for this one. Good evening. From the cruel
:12:40. > :12:48.emailed department, I do hope Lisa Gallagher's stand-in is enjoying
:12:48. > :12:52.his wet week. That sums it help! It does. I am sure he is having to
:12:52. > :12:59.rest a bit longer. The weather turned out a bit wet for Easter,
:12:59. > :13:04.but there was a bit of sunshine. This week, April showers. We will
:13:04. > :13:14.seek sunshine at times. You can see no pressure is never going to be
:13:14. > :13:14.
:13:14. > :13:20.far away. Tomorrow will not be as breezy as today. You can see the
:13:20. > :13:30.speckles their, they are shower clouds. They will fade away.
:13:30. > :13:31.
:13:31. > :13:41.Overnight, it becomes dry. The gusty winds will ease. We will see
:13:41. > :13:43.
:13:43. > :13:53.a touch of frost. Looking at the sun times, the sun will rise at
:13:53. > :13:56.
:13:56. > :13:59.6:09am. It is going to be a bright start to the day. A few showers
:13:59. > :14:07.will develop through the morning. By lunchtime, though showers will
:14:07. > :14:13.really get going. They will be more frequent than the showers we have
:14:13. > :14:17.seen today. There will still be some sunshine. If you manage to
:14:17. > :14:27.avoid the showers, it will be quite pleasant. Temperatures are around
:14:27. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:41.10 or 11th. As we go through the week, little will change. It will
:14:41. > :14:44.
:14:44. > :14:49.get cooler as we head through the You're so charming and polite. At
:14:49. > :14:51.the Easter egg anecdote was all about it he has another week off!
:14:51. > :14:54.Bosses at Lincoln Prison say they're facing added challenges
:14:54. > :14:57.because of an increased number of foreign prisoners. About one in
:14:57. > :14:59.seven inmates at Lincoln Prison is a foreign national. They are from
:15:00. > :15:04.36 countries, but most are eastern European. Jake Zuckerman was given
:15:04. > :15:12.access to the prison. Lincoln Prison is home to around
:15:12. > :15:14.7,000 inmates at any one time. -- 700. Today, 94 of those held here
:15:14. > :15:22.are foreign nationals, mostly from eastern Europe. And that can make
:15:22. > :15:27.it difficult for staff. Many of them do not speak English, so how
:15:27. > :15:32.do you teach them what the prison regime is and how the British could
:15:32. > :15:37.do so system works? We have to explain to them what will happen to
:15:37. > :15:40.them in prison and rehabilitate them and get them work. The prison
:15:40. > :15:43.aims to rehabilitate all those in its care. Here at an on-site skills
:15:43. > :15:48.academy run by partners from the construction industry, both British
:15:48. > :15:51.and foreign prisoners learn new skills. We take on the challenge
:15:51. > :15:55.and enjoyed teaching them up and it helps them to adapt and learn
:15:55. > :15:58.English and feel more incorporated into the community here. When a
:15:58. > :16:01.foreign prisoner has served their time, the immigration service must
:16:01. > :16:04.decide if they can stay in the UK. It's not always a speedy process.
:16:04. > :16:12.Lincoln has 15 foreign inmates who've already finished their
:16:12. > :16:18.sentence, but are still locked up awaiting release or deportation.
:16:18. > :16:23.Foreign about deals, I suppose it would be frustrating at times if
:16:23. > :16:26.they had a view that they would be detained for a certain period and
:16:26. > :16:30.then either released into a detention centre or the community.
:16:30. > :16:33.If that transpires not to be the case, that could get a bit
:16:33. > :16:36.frustrating for them. As the makeup of the local population has changed,
:16:36. > :16:42.so has the mix of nationalities being held at Lincoln Prison, which
:16:42. > :16:45.continues to mirror the community in which it stands.
:16:45. > :16:50.And all this week BBC Lincolnshire are focusing on different aspects
:16:50. > :16:53.of life inside Lincoln Prison. Their breakfast presenter Rod
:16:53. > :16:59.Whiting joined two prisoners in their cell. You can hear that from
:16:59. > :17:02.six in the morning. Organisers of the first Hull
:17:02. > :17:06.Marathon have been responding to criticism of the race following
:17:06. > :17:08.complaints from some runners. Stewarding problems sent a small
:17:08. > :17:15.number of runners the wrong way while others complained about a
:17:15. > :17:23.lack of signs. The organisers have promised to improve for next year
:17:23. > :17:29.as our sports reporter Simon Clark explains.
:17:30. > :17:33.They were off and ahead of them up 26 miles and some 385 yards. This
:17:33. > :17:37.first running a marathon in the city since the 1980s was not
:17:37. > :17:42.without teething problems. There were complaints about a lack of
:17:42. > :17:47.stewarding and course markers. Some markers were sent the wrong way and
:17:47. > :17:52.end up doing fewer than 26 miles. Experienced brother Jonathan Frost
:17:52. > :17:55.finished first. He enjoyed it but identified deficiencies. The main
:17:55. > :17:59.thing was the lack of marshals. You need a lot of marshals for the it
:17:59. > :18:03.and I was lucky enough to be running with a couple of runners
:18:03. > :18:10.who knew the course well. There was a few twists and turns where it was
:18:10. > :18:14.confusing as to where you were going. Also, the mile markers -
:18:14. > :18:18.people who a competitive one to deal to time themselves.
:18:18. > :18:23.organiser except that in this first year there were problems. Issues he
:18:23. > :18:26.believes can be rectified for future races. There were always
:18:26. > :18:32.going to be unknown something's not working the way they should have
:18:32. > :18:35.done or could have done. Mistakes were made and as part of the review
:18:35. > :18:42.I am going through now, we will address every one of those mistakes
:18:42. > :18:46.and make sure it does that happen again. The marathon was officially
:18:46. > :18:50.licensed but issues raised by this case will have to be corrected
:18:50. > :19:00.before another is granted next year. I don't regret issuing a licence
:19:00. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:05.but I wish we had been involved much easier -- early and throughout.
:19:06. > :19:09.The F3 and myself and the starter we up the only people who were
:19:09. > :19:12.qualified officials will stop despite the shortcomings and the
:19:12. > :19:15.drizzle, most were happy to be a part of it.
:19:15. > :19:17.Well, Simon is close to the marathon finishing line. Simon, is
:19:17. > :19:24.there any possibility that these complaints could stop the marathon
:19:24. > :19:28.from being run again? There is a possibility but I think it is for
:19:28. > :19:37.the licensing of authorities and the local authority and the police
:19:37. > :19:41.to be satisfied that safety is going to beat all right next year.
:19:41. > :19:46.My main concern in the race was when the lead runners and their
:19:46. > :19:51.real runners were running counter to one another. For me, that was an
:19:51. > :19:54.issue that needs to be addressed. Meetings are under way to try to
:19:54. > :19:57.rectify the situation is for last - - next year.
:19:57. > :20:00.Hull City got back to winning yesterday, with a 2-1 victory at
:20:00. > :20:03.home to Middlesbrough. The Tigers went behind on 13 minutes. However,
:20:03. > :20:06.second-half strikes from Josh King followed by a hundredth league goal
:20:06. > :20:11.for Matty Fryatt gave City the win and ended a run of five straight
:20:11. > :20:14.defeats. In League One, Scunthorpe United are now eight points clear
:20:14. > :20:18.of the relegation zone following their goalless draw at Carlisle.
:20:19. > :20:23.Their best chance came in the second half, however. Cliff Byrne
:20:23. > :20:27.hit his shot against a defender's legs. It was the Iron's 20th draw
:20:27. > :20:31.of the season. In rugby, Hull FC missed the chance
:20:31. > :20:36.to go top of the Super League after they lost to Huddersfield Giants
:20:37. > :20:40.yesterday afternoon. The Black and Whites were beaten by 22-4 at The
:20:40. > :20:44.Galpharm Stadium. The two sides meet in the Challenge Cup at the
:20:44. > :20:51.weekend. But Hull Kingston Rovers had a better day as they won 18-10
:20:51. > :20:54.away at the Salford City Reds. And there'll be more from both of
:20:54. > :21:04.those games tonight on the Super League show here on BBC One at

:21:05. > :21:08.11:40. An exhibition by David Hockney
:21:08. > :21:12.featuring many paintings of the Yorkshire countryside has been
:21:12. > :21:15.described as a huge success. Half a million people have seen the
:21:15. > :21:22.pictures at the Royal Academy in London making it one of the most

:22:26. > :22:31.who has come has felt a terrific sense of pleasure. In terms of
:22:31. > :22:35.image, what can this do for Yorkshire, do you think? I get the
:22:35. > :22:40.press cuttings every day and there is a big spread about travel to
:22:40. > :22:46.Yorkshire, bed and breakfast and Yorkshire beer. Come and stay at
:22:46. > :22:50.Bridlington. I hope people will go. David Hough they have's vision of
:22:50. > :22:54.their Yorkshire Wolds has been described as breathtaking. Will
:22:55. > :23:00.these creative landscapes tempt people north and put Yorkshire and
:23:00. > :23:04.the tourist map. It makes you want to go there, absolutely. At all
:23:04. > :23:07.times of year it can look wonderful. It gave a really good impression of
:23:07. > :23:15.Yorkshire and we have only just booked to go to Yorkshire for
:23:15. > :23:18.holidays. After 10 sell-out weeks, the exhibition now Mr Spain with

:23:32. > :23:35.Holiday but if you're planning a barbecue or at the on the beach,
:23:35. > :23:40.you're out of luck. In Skegness, many of the guest
:23:40. > :23:50.houses were full. People had been making the best out of the
:23:50. > :23:50.
:23:50. > :23:52.miserable beach weather. You could tell the donkeys weren't
:23:52. > :23:56.impressed. Skegness's Easter Weekend was a washout. At least for
:23:56. > :24:03.those risking a trip to the beach. After all, no-one really wants to
:24:03. > :24:09.ride a damp donkey. If it rains, we can't operate. It has been a slow
:24:09. > :24:14.week this week. As one of England's most visited resorts, it does not
:24:14. > :24:22.lack for visitor numbers. For beach-side kiosks one of the worst
:24:22. > :24:27.weekends ever. And a stark contrast to last year's late Easter. It was
:24:27. > :24:32.a terrible weekend, especially after having a bit too if the wax -
:24:33. > :24:42.- weeks of sun before it. It has been a terrible weekend but
:24:42. > :24:48.hopefully it Opera Cup. It is early. If we were a rich, we go of rot but
:24:48. > :24:52.we're not. We spent most of the afternoon yesterday in a caravan.
:24:52. > :24:55.You can't blame the weather all the time. Of course, the East Coast's
:24:55. > :24:58.endless caravans means most can escape the rain in comfort. So if
:24:58. > :25:06.the seafront suffered, then still Skegness claims to cater for all
:25:06. > :25:10.seasons. We find and bank holidays that people read it and everybody
:25:10. > :25:14.arrived and we were awful. It was great and people enjoy their time
:25:14. > :25:16.when they are here. The resorts had developed things to cope with the
:25:16. > :25:18.British weather. Like the weather, Skegness's
:25:18. > :25:21.fortunes are seasonally unpredictable. But with visitors
:25:21. > :25:31.turning up by the spade and bucket load, the town is still busy with
:25:31. > :25:32.
:25:32. > :25:36.people. Even if they're having to find shelter first. Hope you had a
:25:36. > :25:43.good Easter. If you have a story we should know about, send us an e-
