:01:32. > :01:37.disease? The Government are spending �15. 5 million on trying to develop
:01:37. > :01:41.a vaccine to protect animals. They have granted two culls in the South
:01:42. > :01:48.West, where TB is rife and it is believed that badgers are causing
:01:48. > :01:55.that. Some research suggests that. DEFRA have given permission to use
:01:55. > :01:59.trials for night vision CCTV to help with badgers and help them when they
:01:59. > :02:09.are carrying out the culls. Because TB isn't in Lincolnshire yet, the
:02:09. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :02:17.precautions are different, but just as important. It looks like a scene
:02:18. > :02:20.from the foot-and-mouth crisis, farmers disinfecting their boots in
:02:20. > :02:23.fear of infection. But as tuberculosis in cattle creeps closer
:02:23. > :02:27.to Lincolnshire, farmers are being warned to take precautions. It is
:02:27. > :02:29.like a silent killer. You don't know where it is, you don't know what is
:02:29. > :02:33.happening. The little precautions that we can take now are probably
:02:33. > :02:36.going to be painful, but not as painful as if tuberculosis gets into
:02:36. > :02:39.this county. It is going to devastate a business, an industry -
:02:39. > :02:44.it's going to be awful. Some scientific research has linked
:02:45. > :02:49.badgers to the spread of TB. But culls have only been approved in the
:02:49. > :02:51.South West. That means in Lincolnshire our only defence is
:02:51. > :02:54.diligence. That means being incredibly sure where your cattle
:02:54. > :02:59.come from, incredibly sure what their TB status is and being doubly
:02:59. > :03:02.sure that you don't bring it into the county. Because that is how it
:03:02. > :03:05.with will come, it will come in a cattle lorry. Last year 5.5 million
:03:05. > :03:08.TB tests were carried out in England. 28,000 cows were
:03:08. > :03:11.slaughtered as a result of testing positive and in the last decade,
:03:11. > :03:21.�500 million of taxpayers' money has been spent on trying to control this
:03:21. > :03:21.
:03:21. > :03:26.disease. Vet James Russell has been advising Lincolnshire farmers on how
:03:26. > :03:32.to stay TB-free. Today, he is testing cattle outside of the
:03:32. > :03:35.county. At the moment this animal doesn't look like she is going to
:03:35. > :03:41.pass, sorry mate. This animal is just ten months old and was destined
:03:41. > :03:44.to stay on the farm for breeding. This is about the hardest part of my
:03:44. > :03:49.job. I'm telling Nick now that any animals he had ready for selling, he
:03:49. > :03:55.can't sell. That is over and above the loss of the animal that is going
:03:55. > :03:58.to be taken off and slaughtered for TB. It's not a nice part of the job.
:03:58. > :04:01.Everyone's talking about the price of food going up. Well why? There
:04:02. > :04:06.was nearly 10% less cattle killed last year, no wonder beef's more
:04:06. > :04:09.money, because there's less of it. And it is dirty, it's dangerous,
:04:09. > :04:14.it's demoralising if I had known what my career as a cattle farmers
:04:14. > :04:17.was going to be 20 year ago, I would have gone into banking. The NFU
:04:17. > :04:26.warns if Lincolnshire farmers want to be avoid being in the same
:04:26. > :04:31.situation as Nick they must take bio-security seriously. James
:04:31. > :04:33.Russell, the vet you saw there said it is possible if Lincolnshire
:04:33. > :04:38.farmers work together to lock Lincolnshire down against this, but
:04:38. > :04:44.he said it would only take a few rogue farmers acting irresponsibly
:04:44. > :04:49.to let this disease creep in. And if it did, not only would it cripple
:04:49. > :04:56.cattle farming, but it would push beef prices up at the supermarket,
:04:56. > :05:00.which unless you're a vegetarian, is not good for anyone. Thank you. Now

:06:17. > :06:23.to do. I think it is special he has come here in a little town and is

:07:08. > :07:13.get to talk to him, but he seemed very approachable. He asked me about
:07:13. > :07:19.my project and how it works and I took him through it. He was happy to
:07:19. > :07:26.see what we were doing. He asked if I rode to school on my bike. Said I
:07:26. > :07:30.catch the bus. He said you're very lazy. And I laughed. After an hour,

:13:31. > :13:36.and the Chief Constable and the crime commissioner say they are
:13:36. > :13:38.focussed on working together. It's the first time Neil Rhodes has
:13:38. > :13:41.spoken about Alan Hardwick's decision to suspend him, a decision

:13:55. > :13:59.rate is down in Lincolnshire. But beneath the smiles, there is a
:13:59. > :14:02.history. Alan Hardwick suspended the acting Chief Constable over conduct
:14:02. > :14:08.matters earlier this year. But today speaking for the first time since
:14:08. > :14:13.going back to work, Neil Rhodes said he is looking forward. Alan Hardwick
:14:13. > :14:18.and are both committed to improving the quality of policing in this
:14:18. > :14:23.county. And I think it is important that the story moves from the
:14:23. > :14:27.personalities involved, and focuses again on the quality of policing.
:14:27. > :14:33.But Mr Rhodes is still being investigated for his alleged role in
:14:33. > :14:38.a racial discrimination case at West Yorkshire Police. Mr Rhodes was
:14:38. > :14:41.suspended in February. No reasons were given, but Mr Hardwick referred
:14:41. > :14:46.to matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. In March the
:14:46. > :14:49.IPCC sent the case back to be dealt with locally and Mr Hardwick
:14:49. > :14:53.launched an independent investigation. In March a court
:14:53. > :14:59.overturned the suspension and Mr Rhodes went back to work. Hind sight
:14:59. > :15:04.is a wonderful thing isn't it? The outcome of course is something that
:15:04. > :15:11.both are going to draw a line under. But you have regrets? You are asking
:15:11. > :15:17.me if I have regrets, I have said... About suspending him? That is all in
:15:17. > :15:20.the past. The press conference was held here, because this area was
:15:20. > :15:25.targeted by one particular burglar and since he has been locked up the
:15:25. > :15:29.crime figures have come down here. And people living in the area say
:15:29. > :15:33.they care about the amount of police on the ground, but are they bothered
:15:33. > :15:40.about what has gone on at the top of the force. I don't think a lot of
:15:40. > :15:45.people are bothered. As long as crime is fought by police and there
:15:45. > :15:49.are police still. Good relations would lead to more harmonious work
:15:49. > :15:53.and should be of benefit. outcome of the investigation is

:20:10. > :20:17.one year since she died. I think doing something like this is like a
:20:17. > :20:22.great tribute. She was 12 when her heart started to feel. Her heart
:20:22. > :20:29.transplant gave her a decade of life during which she urged others
:20:29. > :20:33.to become organ donors. People never get around to doing it. They
