Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
Workers make a grim discovery, as the body of a baby is found at a | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
recycling centre in Lincolnshire. We do have concerns for the mother | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
of this child. We are trying to establish what's happened, but one | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
of the main priorities is to locate the mother of this child and get | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
her the help she probably needs. Save our jobs, save our jobs, save | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
our jobs... A show of support - hundreds of BAE workers protest in | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
London against planned job cuts. want to let them know that we scare, | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
first of all, about this. We care about our site, about our jobs ants | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
about our families. BAE managers tell Look North they | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
are listening. We will not spare any efforts in looking for | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
opportunities for redeployment and training. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Olympic security - Fighter jets from Lincolnshire prepare to play | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
their part at London 2012. And from walking the thin blue line | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
to treading the boards - the policeman turning his hand to | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
stand-up. And I'll have your detailed forecast, coming up | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
:01:22. | :01:24. | ||
Good evening. The body of a baby has been found | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
at a waste recycling plant in North Lincolnshire. The discovery was | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
made in Scunthorpe by staff at the site this morning. Tonight, police | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
have told us the baby, believed to be a boy, could be up to six months | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
old. They say their priority now is to find his mum. Emma Massey | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
reports. The investigation is still in the very early stages. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Humberside Police have said the body of a baby believed to be that | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
of a boy was found here at Bell Waste Control in Scunthorpe at | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
around 9.30 this morning. Earlier today Humberside police also | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
confirmed the body was found at the last stage of the recycling process. | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
At this stage we believe that it's a child, a baby. We can't give an | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
age. Unfortunately, any further details that I would give you would | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
be speculation. So we are not talking about a stillbirth hire? | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
we believe it's a baby that's reached full term. Although the | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
plant is open the area where the baby was found has been cordoned | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
off. We collect and process from local businesses a lot of cardboard | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
waste and politics. That's what we separate. The police are concerned | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
where the body's come from. We've been able to help them with their | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
inquiries and assist them where the bins have been collected from. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Police are concerned for the wellbeing of the baby's parents, | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
especially the mother, who Knight need help and support. They are | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
urging the parents to come forward or anyone who might be able to | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
identify them. And Emma joins us from that | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
recycling site now. Emma, what else do we know about this investigation | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
at this stage? Peter, we still don't know how the baby died or how | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
he came to be seemingly discarded. I spoke to the plant manager and he | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
said the body was found in commercial waste, not amongst | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
domestic rubbish. He said the person that found it has been left | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
traumatised by the ordeal. They said the baby wasn't a foetus but | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
was around six months of age. The post-mortem takes place tomorrow. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Police are hoping that someone comes forward before then. Emma, | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
thank you. In a moment: | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
What's the council ever done for you? We look at how they're | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
spending your money ahead of tomorrow's local elections. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Managers at BAE have promised that "no effort will be spared" when it | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
comes to finding work for employees facing redundancy from their site | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
in Brough. In their first television interview, bosses have | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
also confirmed they are in talks with other companies about taking | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
over the factory. It comes on the day that hundreds of employees | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
travelled to London to demand answers at BAE's annual general | :04:13. | :04:23. | |
:04:23. | :04:25. | ||
meeting. Our correspondent, Siobhan Robbins, was with them. Save our | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
jobs, save our jobs... It it was clearest message so far. Hundreds | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
of workers standing together, fighting to save their jobs. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
want to let them know that we care first of all about this. We care | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
about our site. We care about our jobs and we care about our families. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
They are trampling all over me like I'm a nobody. We are fighting for | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
your jobs and to feed our families. Today they brought their campaign | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
to the capital, to the doorsteps of the bosses of the company's annual | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
meeting. This is the Hartley family's third protest. I came to | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
London when I was nine years old. It shouldn't happen twice. Let | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
alone once. We are capable of making the work, there is no need | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
to mover it across the Pennines. These workers aren't just fighting | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
for their jobs. They are here to show their anger over payouts to | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
bosses, including a �1.4 million bonus to Ian King. They say how can | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
that be fair when they are facing redundancy? Local MPs came out to | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
show their support. For the work eshes, keep going. We've done | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
better. To BAE, recognise your responsibilities. The taxpayer paid | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
for you today. I think they are going to change their mind on that | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
but we can see a range of opportunities to maintain aerospace | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
manufacturing at Brough. There's a much healthier dialogue about that. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
In September they were fighting to work on the Hawk. Today they just | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
want somewhere to work. As long as we keep working and we | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
are keeping manufacturing, whoever we are working for it doesn't | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
matter. I would like to stay with BAE Systems, but if that's not an | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
option, as long as I've got an employer who is going to keep | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
paying me and keep me in the same type of work I'm in now, I will be | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
happy with that. As they head home these workers hope their protest | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
today has shown bosss the human face of what has so far been an | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
industrial dispute. Siobhan is in London. You've been | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
speaking to the company about the job losses. What have they said to | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
you today? For the first time BAE has spoken on camera about its | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
intentions for the site. It's confirmed that it is dedicate to | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
the finding all of the workers jobs. It has confirmed that there'll be | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
no compulsory redundancies in 2012, something that MPs have suggested | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
on Monday. When I spoke to Nigel Whitehead I asked hill about the | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
suggestion that other companies might be brought on site. I asked | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
whether there was anyone specific in the frame. At early stages and | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
at this stage, because of the business sensitivity of it, we are | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
acting under a series of confidentiality agreement, I won't | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
name businesses today, but active interest. Ideally if we could get | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
that active interest to gel in an appropriate timescale, a | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
probability of -- possibility of continuation of work. Identify with | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
the passion, identified with the energy that they are putting in to | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
it. Does it sway us? We were already fully committed to that | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
mitigation process. The truth is that we continue to be committed to | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
it. I appreciate their passion. So from that perspective it is raw, it | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
is very real and quite compelling. If you are onest and you look at | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
your position in September and now, are you more or less confident that | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
you can save those jobs? We are certainly more confident that | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
there's real interest in the skills and capabilities on the site. The | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
trick is to convert that into commitment from other companies, | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
jobs for the people on the site and redeployment opportunities. We are | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
further on in that process. What's your message to the workers here | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
today? The message is that we'll not spare any efforts in looking | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
for opportunities for mitigation, redeployment and retraining. So the | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
question on everyone's lips, has today made any difference? In a way | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
I think yes. Not only have these workers reinforced to shareholders | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
their dedication to saving those jobs. For the first time BAE has | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
publicly confirmed that it is talking to parties interested in | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
investing in this site that. Means there is hope in saving these | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
workers from redundancy. Do let me know your thoughts on | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
this. Are you one of those workers or family of one of those workers | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
who travelled down today? Do you think your message got through? | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
Maybe you are facing republican si elsewhere? Do you support this -- | :09:19. | :09:29. | |

Two men arrested in connection with the murder of a woman whose body | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
was found near the Royal Sandringham estate have been | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
released on bail. 17-year-old Alisa Dmitrijeva from Wisbech was | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
reported missing in September. Her body was found in woodland near | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Anmer on New Year's day. The two men, aged 28 and 31, are also from | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
the Wisbech area. The Environment Agency is | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
rebuilding an embankment in Boston after part of a road collapsed into | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
a waterway. The incident happened because of a burst water main on | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
Horncastle Road. It's expected to stay closed until tomorrow while | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
repairs are made. A woman has been rescued after her | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
car went over the cliff at Flamborough. The vehicle became | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
stuck on the edge at North Landing last night. The female driver was | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
airlifted to Hull Royal Infirmary after being winched to safety. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
The owners of Hull City have broken their silence about recent events | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
at the club. In an interview with the Hull Daily Mail, Assem and Ehab | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Allam say the club will continue to grow without their former Head of | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Football Operations, Adam Pearson. And they say money was made | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
available to the manager, Nick Barmby, in the transfer window. His | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
future remains unclear. Sarah Corker reports. | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
Another day - and another twist to the turmoil engulfing Hull City. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
The club's owners have hit back at claims they werent willing to | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
invest. 'We made made money available and we wanted a striker' | :11:08. | :11:18. | |
- Assem Allam said today in a newspaper interview. For the owners | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
to say we are willing to spend that much per week on a player and we | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
were telling the management team to buy a striker when the problem was | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
that the club wasn't striking goals, the impression was that the money | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
wasn't there. It is comments made by Nick Barmby | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
about his transfer Budget which are believed to the led to his | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
suspension. Today fans learnt that ticket prices will be going up. The | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
club has a wage bill of �17 million this season. One of the highest in | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
the Championship. As a result, the Elams say the cost of season | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
tickets will rise. An adult season ticket in the west stand costs �440 | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
but that price could increase by between 10-15%, taking prices up to | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
between �484 and �506. Certainly won't be going at that price. | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
would help the club, yes. It's regular income, you can plan on it | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
I think a few people won't subscribe again. There's a move of | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
uncertainty hangs over the K C Stadium Nick Barmby's future is | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
expected to be clarified by the end of the week. Speculation is rife | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
among fans as to who would replace him as manager if he does leave the | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
club. Billie Davies is top of the list. Ex-Wolves boss Mick McCarthy | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
could also be in the frame. But the owners couldifies a back flash from | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
:13:10. | :13:14. | ||
fans, who say they are dismayed by It goes without saying that we will | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
:13:24. | :13:30. | ||
continue to follow that story. Anglian Water says the construction | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
of a major new pipeline in Lincolnshire is the kind of project | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
they will have to do a lot more of in the future. �40 million is being | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
spent by the company to take water from Covenham Reservoir near Louth | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
to Boston. Our weather forecaster Paul Hudson has been investigating | :13:43. | :13:46. | |

there is more rain on the way across southern parts, particularly | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
North Norfolk and southern Lincolnshire. Some patchy rain on | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
Friday but on Sunday it and Saturday, for the May Day weekend, | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
there will be a fair amount of dry and bright weather before rain | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
returns on bank holiday Monday. As I say, the weekend's not looking | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
too bad. Of more on that later. You can see that cloud streaming up | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
from the south-east. It is bright rain now, rather than sunny but it | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
has been a lovely day. Overnight we will see that rest heightened with | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
patchy rain over the Wash and southern Lincolnshire. Otherwise, | :15:20. | :15:28. | |

spending your money on local services like housing, roads and | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
bin collections and tomorrow voters in three of our council areas will | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
decide who runs their local authority. With a summary of where | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
elections are taking place here is our political editor Tim Iredale. | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Tomorrow voters in Hull, Lincoln and north-east Lincolnshire go to | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
the polls. In these areas one-third of council seats will be up for | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
grabs. In Lincoln, Labour are defending a slender majority of | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
just one seat with the Conservatives not far behind. In | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
Hull, Labour have a much larger majority of 12 seats after they | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
snatched the city from Liberal- Democrat control last year. But | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
many eyes will be a north-east Lincolnshire which is currently a | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
hung council. Labour are the largest party there and need to | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
gain two seats to take outright control. Traditionally, local | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
elections in our area have a low turnout. Last year only one in | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
three people used their vote so will it be any different this year? | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
:18:19. | :18:21. | ||
It is my right to bite and I feel silly not being able to do that. I | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
hope fully will be. It is a good question and the | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
answer is that I will not be voting. I have lost faith in all the | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
parties, are rarely. Everybody has a boat and you should | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
use them. I think it is important abodes and | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
choosy you want to be in charge of things. | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
So for those who will be voting, polling stations will be open from | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
7 o'clock in the morning and will close tomorrow night at 10 o'clock. | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Thank you for all your views on green energy and windfarms after | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
our story yesterday. We told you how the cost of electricity | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
produced by windfarms and the future of turbine production were | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
discussed in Hull at a renewable energy conference. Here are some of | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
your comments. Sally in East Yorkshire says, "Wind | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
turbines ruin the views of our countryside, affect radar and are | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
noisy. Wave power would be more effective and less ugly." | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Steve texted to say, "Wind turbines are hopelessly uneconomic. They | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
don't even cut carbon emissions given the resources used to build, | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
maintain and back them up when the wind isn't blowing." | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
But Ron from Hull disagrees. He says, "There is nothing wrong with | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
windfarm technology. The problem with energy costs lies squarely | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
with the energy companies' quest to Typhoon jets from Lincolnshire will | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
be flying over London this week as part of a security training | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
operation for the Olympic Games. It's the first time fighter | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
aircraft have been stationed at RAF Northolt since the Second World War. | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
Our Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale has more. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
The roar of the engines from for typhoon jets announce their arrival | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
in London. It marks the start of this major Olympic security | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
exercise over the next eight days. Hurricane fighter planes are | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
dressed in line waiting for the signal to take off. | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
It is the first time fighter planes have been based here since the | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Second World War, when her O'Kane's were flown here through the Battle | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
of Britain. Now, in peacetime, the most advanced fighter jets the RAF | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
has are training to acts during the Olympics, if necessary, as a last | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
resort. It there is an unknown aircraft | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
that threatens the game there will be high level decision-making to | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
take care of that aircraft. We carry weapons to deal with that | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
events. 8th there will also be helicopters | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
carrying snipers and spy planes flying over the major Olympic sites | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
over the next few days. It is unusual activity but nothing | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
to worry about. It is preparation for the Games and reassurance there | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
will be there and watching. We will still be that the Games but out of | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
sight and out of mind. This is just be exercised a later | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
this summer they will be ready to act if necessary. | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
It is about training the military embolden the Olympics and to | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
tearing any attack as well as reassuring the public that the | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
Olympics will be safe. Have caused all his military hardware would | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
only be used as a last resort. -- of course. | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Non-League Gainsborough Trinity have a big game this evening. They | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
are through to the play-off finals, fighting for a place in the | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Conference Premier League which would see them playing the likes of | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Lincoln and Grimsby. First though they have got to beat Halifax Town | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
over two legs to make the final. And there will be full commentary | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
of Trinity's vital match on BBC Lincolnshire tonight in their | :22:11. | :22:21. | |

The huge task of pinning more than a million tulip heads on to dozens | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
of floats ahead of this weekend's flower parade in Spalding has | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
started. The parade has been on the town's calendar for more than 50 | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
years and gets up to 50,000 visitors. Jake Zuckerman has been | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
to see the floats taking shape. With only three days to go, the | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
float decorators are hard at work. Each year, Spalding celebrates its | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
traditional bulb-growing industry with a grand parade and each year | :22:47. | :22:57. | |
:22:57. | :22:59. | ||
there is a different theme. The theme for this year is food. | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Because Spalding is a massive feed grain area it seems a logical thing | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
to do. There are so many food manufacturers and suppliers in this | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
area. Every float has to be covered with | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
flower heads. It'll take more than a million tulips to get the job | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
done but all that work certainly pays off. When they are finished, | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
the floats will look something like this. 12 different colours of tulip | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
are used. Many of the workers are volunteers. | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
It puts us on the map, it nationally and internationally. | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
People come from all over the place to see it. | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
One young helper has more reason than most to be excited. Sophie is | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
working on the float that she designed herself. | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
I will be on the float at the front. I will be dressed as a carrot. I | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
try to make it a bit different. The theme was fruits do so most people | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
thought of beggars and ships so I thought the opposite anted | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
vegetables. -- burgers and chips. - - answer thoughts of vegetables. | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
The parade has a serious side too. 50,000 visitors are expected and it | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
is estimated they wll contribute more than �1.3 million to the local | :24:08. | :24:16. | |
economy. He is a serving police officer with | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
the Humberside force but Alfie Moore has swapped patrolling the | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
streets of Scunthorpe for a life of stand-up. After being told how | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
funny he was, he has taken a career break and embarked on a UK tour. | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
Last night was his biggest performance yet and Leanne Brown | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
was there. You may not think that there are | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
many similarities between being a cop and a comedian but you would be | :24:35. | :24:44. | |
wrong. When you are a car, you turn up and | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
have to make a connection quickly and under pressure. You have to | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
make a connection with the audience they quickly and if you do not you | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
are in trouble. We say it quite quickly, in a | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
deeper voice. Things like, Humberside. It sounds pretty cool. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Alfie has been a policeman for 18 years so, as you'd expect, it | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
features heavily in his show. Is it is funny how drinking is | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
acceptable in this job. Imry last are drinking was frowned upon. I | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
had to be very discreet. And he has also taken to wearing a | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
uniform. The art fits eyewear is quite retro | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
and 1970s. -- the outfit I wear. It is stereotypical old-fashioned | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
detective look. Once you put the uniform on, a U-turn in so a bit of | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
a super hero. You change your personality and it makes you braver | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
and a couple of inches taller. It is a bit like that when you are | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
performing like this. His first tour seems to be going | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
down well with the audience in hall. We work for the police so we | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
relates to a lot of the stuffy as saying. It is very true to life. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
To doing the job every day, it is interesting to find out how he | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
perceives it and make comedy out of bed. | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
A some really good stories. Really entertaining. | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
So it seems he does live up to his name as the laughing policeman. | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
Good luck to him. Let us have a recap of the main headlines. | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
The coroner says the M I six officer who was found dead in a | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
sports bag was probably a more fully curls. | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
A major investigation is underway after a baby's body was found in a | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
recycling centre in Scunthorpe. Tomorrow the weather will brighten | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
up during the day but a chance of rain in Lincolnshire and the South. | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
He sat temperatures of 12 degrees Celsius. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
Talking about the situation at BAe and the response coming in. Well | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
done to the workers and keep fighting. Plenty of people have | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
lost their jobs during the recession and have received little | :27:17. | :27:26. | |
or no help from local councillors. Counsellor should help everyone. | :27:26. | :27:32. |
