:00:10. > :00:14.Good evening. Welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines: Their balloon
:00:14. > :00:18.crashed into power lines, but an East Yorkshire family escapes
:00:18. > :00:24.unhurt. I lost sight of it from the road.
:00:24. > :00:28.It drifted over to the lines. The situation, they have been very
:00:28. > :00:32.lucky. The Government asks for this school
:00:32. > :00:36.in Lincoln to answer questions about its financial management.

:01:11. > :01:16.A group of balloonists have escaped injury after their hot air balloon
:01:17. > :01:22.came down on power lines. The pilot and his nine passengers, including
:01:22. > :01:26.three from East Yorkshire, had taken off from York racecourse and
:01:26. > :01:31.crashed one hour into their flight. An investigation into the accident
:01:31. > :01:35.at West Haddlesey near Selby has begun. The company has blamed
:01:35. > :01:38.strong winds as the pilot tried to land.
:01:38. > :01:46.Anything but a safe landing for the passengers on board this pleasure
:01:46. > :01:51.flight. The pilot and his nine passengers left York at at 7:30am
:01:51. > :01:55.today. The hot-air balloon travelled 20 miles and weather
:01:55. > :01:59.conditions were fair, but the landing did not go as planned. I
:01:59. > :02:04.spoke to the pilot this morning and he said that he was planning to
:02:04. > :02:08.land the billion here by the road, but sadly it was not to be. All
:02:08. > :02:14.nine passengers were carried in this direction, around 200 metres,
:02:14. > :02:18.missing the pond, but hitting the power lines. It was just before 9am
:02:19. > :02:27.when the balloon landed here near West Haddlesey. Richard Watson who
:02:28. > :02:34.lives nearby saw the drama unfold. It happened just before the road.
:02:34. > :02:38.It seemed to bans -- bounce back up. It hit the flood bank at and went
:02:38. > :02:42.over the bank and that is when I lost sight of it from the road. It
:02:42. > :02:48.drifted over to the lines. As you can see from heiresses, they have
:02:48. > :02:52.been very lucky. The power lines carry 66,000 volts, but the
:02:52. > :03:02.electricity supply would have disconnected it as the balloon hit
:03:02. > :03:11.the wire. It is a big job. It is a long feed from Ferrybridge going
:03:11. > :03:14.towards Selby. We have the over- hyped -- over headlines dead now.
:03:14. > :03:20.No-one was available for comment from the balloon adventure company
:03:20. > :03:24.which runs the flights, bed in a statement, they said there was an
:03:24. > :03:28.increase of surface winds when landing and that no-one was injured.
:03:28. > :03:32.It is not the first time an accident like this had happened. A
:03:32. > :03:39.balloon crashed earlier this week in Northamptonshire. An
:03:39. > :03:43.investigation into what happened here is now under way.
:03:43. > :03:49.Tonight, our reporter is live at the scene of the crash. What is
:03:49. > :03:54.happening there to like? The balloon came down in this field
:03:54. > :03:59.behind me, just a few feet away from the water. As you can imagine,
:03:59. > :04:04.a traumatic experience for the people involved. This afternoon,
:04:04. > :04:08.investigators have been taking photographs. Within the last half
:04:08. > :04:12.an hour, the balloon has been taken away. Three of the people on board
:04:12. > :04:16.were from East Yorkshire, and we have been speaking to them. They
:04:16. > :04:22.have been shaken by what happened. It was a birthday treat. They said
:04:22. > :04:26.they had a wonderful time in the air. As they looked for somewhere
:04:26. > :04:31.safe to land, a gust of wind blew them into some cables and they came
:04:32. > :04:36.down. We also spoke to the pilot on board. He has been doing this for
:04:36. > :04:39.25 years and nothing like this has ever happened to him. I also spoke
:04:39. > :04:42.to some villages today who were waving at the balloon as it went by
:04:42. > :04:46.and did not realise that anything had happened until the power went
:04:46. > :04:50.off in their homes. Everyone is relieved that no-one was injured,
:04:50. > :04:56.but that does not make it any less upsetting for those involved.
:04:56. > :05:03.Thank you very much. In a moment, how millions of litres
:05:03. > :05:06.of water are being saved in parts of drought-hit Lincolnshire.
:05:06. > :05:12.The Government has asked a Lincolnshire school to respond to
:05:12. > :05:15.concerns over the way it manages its finances. Two weeks ago, the
:05:15. > :05:20.chief executive of the Priory Federation of Academies, Richard
:05:20. > :05:25.Gilliland, steps down suddenly. It is emerged that that was as a
:05:25. > :05:30.result of an investigation into the school's financial management.
:05:30. > :05:35.The Priory Federation is one of the biggest and most ambitious academic
:05:35. > :05:41.projects in the country. They have four schools in and around Lincoln.
:05:41. > :05:46.It is now at the centre of a government enquiry. Its chief
:05:46. > :05:55.executive's -- executive has resigned. Richard Gilliland was one
:05:55. > :06:00.of Britain's highs pays civil servants. His departure was an
:06:00. > :06:04.expected, but it coincides with this investigation into possible
:06:04. > :06:08.financial irregularities. Academies are not controlled by the
:06:08. > :06:14.local authority and critics say the Government's enquiry highlights
:06:14. > :06:19.concerns. These allegations are serious. This is public money that
:06:19. > :06:23.we are talking about. It is vital that we get to the bottom of what
:06:23. > :06:30.has happened, who sanctioned it and how we can move forward and prevent
:06:30. > :06:34.this happening in the future. Funding for academies comes direct
:06:34. > :06:38.from the Government. Richard Gilliland has overseen a multi-
:06:38. > :06:43.million-pound budget in his time. In France, his chateau was
:06:43. > :06:48.converted into an overseas Learning Centre, whilst in Lincolnshire they
:06:49. > :06:52.have been Olympic-sized running tracks, state-of-the-art gymnasiums
:06:52. > :06:57.and at a science block with a planetarium. Supporters say that
:06:57. > :07:01.these kinds of facilities have turned round failing schools. The
:07:01. > :07:07.Department of Education are awaiting a response of its findings
:07:07. > :07:10.-- to its findings, but management have be unavailable for comment.
:07:10. > :07:16.Plans for a multi-million-pound energy plant in North East
:07:16. > :07:21.Lincolnshire which could create 200 jobs has been given the go-ahead.
:07:21. > :07:26.The �130 million biomass station would be built at Immingham, using
:07:26. > :07:31.wood pellets as fuel. It would power 90,000 homes. Directly, it
:07:31. > :07:37.will create about 200 jobs in the construction phase and about 30
:07:37. > :07:41.jobs when it is operating. It is not just this business on its own.
:07:42. > :07:46.It is part of a wider renewables cluster that we have in North East
:07:46. > :07:50.Lincolnshire. It is helping to bring those industries into the
:07:50. > :07:55.area. There are claims that many churches
:07:55. > :07:59.in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire will not be able to afford vital
:07:59. > :08:04.improvements when new tax changes come into effect later this year.
:08:04. > :08:09.The Archdeacon of Lincoln is one of the campaign is trying to stop the
:08:10. > :08:15.introduction of VAT on alterations to listed buildings.
:08:15. > :08:21.In many leafy parishes, a quiet revolt is gaining momentum over the
:08:21. > :08:26.latest government tax changes. Soon, alterations to listed buildings
:08:26. > :08:31.including churches will no longer be free from VAT. In recent years,
:08:31. > :08:38.people in this village near Sleaford have raised thousands of
:08:38. > :08:42.pounds to pay for repairs for the church spire. The trouble is it.
:08:42. > :08:48.Parishes wanting to help their churches and make them available
:08:48. > :08:58.for community use. They are going to be cautious about taking on any

:09:06. > :09:10.many cases, extra grants will be available to cover the extra cost
:09:10. > :09:16.of approve alterations to listed places of worship. This latest
:09:16. > :09:23.controversy about VAT on repairs to listed buildings follows the row
:09:23. > :09:28.about VAT on hot snacks, the so- called pasty tax. There was also
:09:28. > :09:33.the rout on VAT on static caravans, which will have an effect on that
:09:33. > :09:37.industry. The highlight these -- the whole idea is that people
:09:37. > :09:43.should have enough money to keep historic buildings in a good state
:09:43. > :09:49.of repair. Taxes should be transparent and simple. They should
:09:49. > :09:53.not be used as a -- an excuse for the Chancellor to grab more money.
:09:53. > :09:57.Thousands of churchgoers have signed a petition calling on the
:09:58. > :10:02.Government to keep alterations to listed buildings free from VAT. In
:10:02. > :10:09.the age of austerity, it could take more than the power of prayer to
:10:09. > :10:14.force a rethink by the Treasury. We are interested in your views on
:10:14. > :10:24.this one. Should churches be a special case when it comes to
:10:24. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:44.paying VAT on repairs, or should There will be more on this story on

:12:53. > :12:57.West, so it may be that across East Yorkshire it brightens up with the
:12:57. > :13:02.best of the sunshine returning towards the end of the day. The
:13:02. > :13:07.temperatures are still struggling because of the northerly wind. The
:13:07. > :13:11.wind will be fresh and gusty. Temperatures will be about a

:13:41. > :13:44.On Wednesday, we told you how East Lindsey District Council were
:13:44. > :13:48.confused as to whether they could use hosepipes to water their plants
:13:48. > :13:58.on the seafront in Skegness. They said they'd had no clarification
:13:58. > :14:01.
:14:01. > :14:05.and so that was a question I put to Anglian water.
:14:05. > :14:10.Perfect does not matter who is doing it. It is the use of the
:14:10. > :14:13.hosepipe that is prohibited. I have a statement here from Anglian Water
:14:13. > :14:16.customer services. They say that if the contractor is hired to do such
:14:17. > :14:20.activities, then the use of a hosepipe for a hanging basket will
:14:20. > :14:25.be acceptable. Therefore, it is the sole purpose of their business
:14:25. > :14:29.because they are hired for the job. If you are using a hosepipe in a
:14:29. > :14:33.public garden, which is classified as a garden in this situation, if
:14:33. > :14:37.you were not able to use a hosepipe to water the plants. So this
:14:37. > :14:40.statement is wrong? It sounds like a days.
:14:40. > :14:44.Well, we've now had this response from Anglian Water. They say a
:14:44. > :14:47.hosepipe can be used in the course of a business to clean a private
:14:47. > :14:50.motor vehicle, walls or windows of domestic premises, paths or patios
:14:50. > :14:52.or an artificial outdoor surface, where this is done as a service to
:14:52. > :15:02.customers. It doesn't apply to gardens, hanging baskets or
:15:02. > :15:02.
:15:02. > :15:05.flowerbeds. That was in East Lindsey on
:15:05. > :15:08.Wednesday. Elsewhere in Lincolnshire, millions of litres of
:15:08. > :15:12.water are being saved as measures are in place to deal with the
:15:12. > :15:15.drought. They're cutting back on washing council vehicles and
:15:15. > :15:25.planning how to save water in parks and gardens, as Jake Zuckerman
:15:25. > :15:26.
:15:26. > :15:31.reports. At this swimming pool, there is
:15:31. > :15:37.certainly no shortage of water. But that has not stopped the District
:15:38. > :15:41.Council looking for ways to cut back on the amount it uses. We have
:15:41. > :15:44.for maximum Pools across the district. We're using lots of
:15:44. > :15:48.things like using a pool covers, only cleaning our filters when we
:15:48. > :15:54.need to, we have Federation in our taps and showers to reduce the
:15:54. > :15:56.volume of water used by 60%. comes in the week when the East
:15:56. > :16:02.Lindsey District Council said it was worried the hosepipe ban could
:16:02. > :16:06.damage tourism in Skegness at the time's florals displays die off. It
:16:06. > :16:10.has spent more than �70,000 and plans to beautify the time and
:16:10. > :16:14.needs to keep them watered. Here, the scale of planting is more
:16:14. > :16:19.modest, but the time Council are still looking at ways to avoid the
:16:20. > :16:23.problem. We have to rethink this year and probably for future years.
:16:23. > :16:28.One of our senior operatives is actually a qualified Gardner. We
:16:28. > :16:34.will be taking his advice as to drought-resistant plants, mulching,
:16:34. > :16:38.gravel, Park. The counsellors encourage and all employees to do
:16:38. > :16:43.their bed, with a message on every council computer. Each of their
:16:43. > :16:48.toilets has one of these flaws reducing devices and it has also
:16:48. > :16:53.cut back on washing its vehicles. One of the key things we have done
:16:53. > :16:57.is to change the frequency of the washing of RFU's fleet. Once upon a
:16:57. > :17:00.time, we go doing it once a week. We're now doing it once a month.
:17:00. > :17:06.They will not look quite a smart, but it will save quite a lot of
:17:06. > :17:11.water. With these measures being taken by that the District Council,
:17:11. > :17:15.they are making a real difference. Over the last 12 months at this
:17:15. > :17:19.site alone, they have saved the equivalent of 2.5 million litres of
:17:19. > :17:28.water. And by setting a good example, on the council hopes it
:17:28. > :17:32.will encourage others to look at their water use.
:17:32. > :17:34.The whole story of that right, I'll be will continue to follow that.
:17:35. > :17:37.The family of the late charity fundraiser Jane Tomlinson are
:17:38. > :17:40.setting off on an epic challenge this weekend, to help raise money
:17:40. > :17:43.for good causes in Yorkshire. Jane's husband Mike and daughter
:17:43. > :17:48.Rebecca will run a marathon in Paris on Sunday, before starting a
:17:48. > :17:52.600 mile cycle ride. They'll head to Zeebrugge to get the ferry to
:17:52. > :18:00.Hull. They'll ride through the city on Wednesday, across Yorkshire and
:18:00. > :18:03.down to London for another marathon, all in just eight days.
:18:03. > :18:06.Jane's daughter Rebecca has been to visit Sunshine House in Hul, a
:18:06. > :18:16.charity that's benefitted from the Jane Tomlinson Appeal, and has been
:18:16. > :18:18.
:18:18. > :18:21.looking at what difference her Mum made. We now run, I think of her
:18:21. > :18:25.and what she achieved and everyone she inspired.
:18:25. > :18:28.Ten years ago, I watched Mum run the London marathon. It was the
:18:28. > :18:32.start of an incredible journey. It was a journey that swept us all up
:18:32. > :18:34.and I know what she did made a difference to people's lives.
:18:34. > :18:39.People like 25-year-old Jema, diagnosed with thyroid cancer last
:18:39. > :18:48.summer. Her treatment left her exhausted and depressed, so she was
:18:48. > :18:52.prescribed what she calls the Tomlinson treatment. My doctor
:18:52. > :18:57.tells me to exercise all the time. She is constantly telling me to
:18:57. > :19:00.exercise, to a point where I cannot exercise any more! If you are
:19:00. > :19:03.stronger, you can get through it easier. That is the point they are
:19:03. > :19:05.trying to make. Jema's not unusual. Last year,
:19:05. > :19:07.research highlighting the benefits of physical activity alongside
:19:07. > :19:14.cancer treatment was published, findings that have been embraced
:19:14. > :19:18.here at Macmillan. Over the last 10 years, there has been increasingly
:19:18. > :19:23.powerful evidence that shows that moderate amounts of exercise will
:19:23. > :19:29.both reduce the chances of cancer coming back and reduce the chances
:19:29. > :19:31.of you developing heart disease, thin bones, diabetes later.
:19:31. > :19:34.Keeping healthy, keeping positive and changing perceptions were all
:19:34. > :19:44.massively important to Mum, but the challenges had another, possibly
:19:44. > :19:49.
:19:49. > :19:53.greater, effect. They raised money. What will the Jane Tomlinson fund
:19:54. > :19:57.provide for the house? One of the things we wanted to do for the
:19:57. > :20:00.children is make this area into a multi- sensory room.
:20:00. > :20:03.Organisations like this respite facility have benefited from over
:20:03. > :20:12.�3 million raised to date. It's humbling to see the impact the
:20:12. > :20:16.money has and it's the reason Dad carried on. To I would not
:20:16. > :20:20.recommend this life for anyone. You have to accept that this is the
:20:20. > :20:28.path we chose. It is the path I am choosing to stay on. I could walk
:20:28. > :20:38.away. I would feel like a was not doing the right thing, in terms of
:20:38. > :20:45.
:20:45. > :20:48.June. And so we keep pushing the limits, as she would have done.
:20:48. > :20:51.It's not the only fundraiser that Jane has inspired in Hull. On June
:20:51. > :20:55.the third, thousands of runners will be taking part in the Run For
:20:55. > :21:03.All. Our reporter Anne-Marie Tasker is on the course. How big will this
:21:03. > :21:06.event be? When the 10, to race starts here
:21:06. > :21:11.outside the hall, they're hoping it'll be even bigger than last
:21:11. > :21:15.year's event, when they attracted 4,000 runners. The rich will be the
:21:15. > :21:18.same as last year. They will be heading out to the East of the city,
:21:18. > :21:23.back past the marina, through the city centre for and then back here
:21:23. > :21:26.to the finish line. The charity is aiming to bring its fund-raising
:21:26. > :21:30.total to �5 million this year. They're asking anyone who still
:21:31. > :21:35.wants to take part in the race to apply. You can do that on their
:21:35. > :21:41.website. Jane Tomlinson had strong links to this city. She studied
:21:41. > :21:46.here and received an honorary doctorate from the University. A
:21:46. > :21:49.her eldest daughter graduated from the university as well. That was
:21:49. > :21:52.back in 2007. Because of those strong legs, Mike and Rebecca
:21:52. > :21:56.wanted to bring their big fund- raising challenge back to the city
:21:56. > :21:59.next week. They will be cycling through the city on Wednesday and
:21:59. > :22:04.heading out across the East Yorkshire countryside towards York
:22:04. > :22:07.on arguably what is their most tough challenge yet.
:22:07. > :22:10.The coach of Hull FC, Peter Gentle, has called on the Rugby League to
:22:10. > :22:15.look again at their Easter scheduling, saying teams are too
:22:15. > :22:17.tired to play two matches in three days. Speaking ahead of their cup
:22:17. > :22:27.game with Huddersfield, Gentle says the spectacle is spoilt by players
