North. The headlines tonight: Presenting a united front - the men | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
in charge of policing Lincolnshire insist it's business as usual. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Hardwick and I are both firmly committed to improving the quality | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
of policing in this county. Cattle farmers in our area are told they | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
must act to stop TB spreading. have got to work as a community and | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
in that way they will keep it out. royal seal of approval - the | :00:34. | :00:39. | |

the spread of bovine tuberculosis. Our rural affairs correspondent is | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
at a farm near caster. What is being done to help the farmers tackle the | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
disease? The Government are spending �15. 5 million on trying to develop | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
a vaccine to protect animals. They have granted two culls in the South | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
West, where TB is rife and it is believed that badgers are causing | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
that. Some research suggests that. DEFRA have given permission to use | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
trials for night vision CCTV to help with badgers and help them when they | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
are carrying out the culls. Because TB isn't in Lincolnshire yet, the | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
:02:09. | :02:15. | ||
precautions are different, but just as important. It looks like a scene | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
from the foot-and-mouth crisis, farmers disinfecting their boots in | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
fear of infection. But as tuberculosis in cattle creeps closer | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
to Lincolnshire, farmers are being warned to take precautions. It is | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
like a silent killer. You don't know where it is, you don't know what is | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
happening. The little precautions that we can take now are probably | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
going to be painful, but not as painful as if tuberculosis gets into | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
this county. It is going to devastate a business, an industry - | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
it's going to be awful. Some scientific research has linked | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
badgers to the spread of TB. But culls have only been approved in the | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
South West. That means in Lincolnshire our only defence is | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
diligence. That means being incredibly sure where your cattle | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
come from, incredibly sure what their TB status is and being doubly | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
sure that you don't bring it into the county. Because that is how it | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
with will come, it will come in a cattle lorry. Last year 5.5 million | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
TB tests were carried out in England. 28,000 cows were | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
slaughtered as a result of testing positive and in the last decade, | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
�500 million of taxpayers' money has been spent on trying to control this | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
:03:21. | :03:21. | ||
disease. Vet James Russell has been advising Lincolnshire farmers on how | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
to stay TB-free. Today, he is testing cattle outside of the | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
county. At the moment this animal doesn't look like she is going to | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
pass, sorry mate. This animal is just ten months old and was destined | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
to stay on the farm for breeding. This is about the hardest part of my | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
job. I'm telling Nick now that any animals he had ready for selling, he | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
can't sell. That is over and above the loss of the animal that is going | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
to be taken off and slaughtered for TB. It's not a nice part of the job. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Everyone's talking about the price of food going up. Well why? There | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
was nearly 10% less cattle killed last year, no wonder beef's more | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
money, because there's less of it. And it is dirty, it's dangerous, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
it's demoralising if I had known what my career as a cattle farmers | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
was going to be 20 year ago, I would have gone into banking. The NFU | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
warns if Lincolnshire farmers want to be avoid being in the same | :04:17. | :04:26. | |
situation as Nick they must take bio-security seriously. James | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Russell, the vet you saw there said it is possible if Lincolnshire | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
farmers work together to lock Lincolnshire down against this, but | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
he said it would only take a few rogue farmers acting irresponsibly | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
to let this disease creep in. And if it did, not only would it cripple | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
cattle farming, but it would push beef prices up at the supermarket, | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
which unless you're a vegetarian, is not good for anyone. Thank you. Now | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
concern is growing for a 76-year-old woman who has not been seen for more | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Nan a week. Dorothy Brewster was reported missing on Monday. Police | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
say she doesn't have any of her medication and her family have | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
appealed for information. A legal challenge to try and stop an out of | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
town shopping park being built in Scunthorpe has been dismissed. | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
Planning permission for the �20 million development was granted a | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
year ago. But opponents said the plans would damage businesses in the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
town centre. They were refused permission to take the case to the | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
Lords. Hundreds of people have lined the streets of Bourne for the viz | :05:40. | :05:50. | |
tit othe -- visit of the Duke of Edinburgh. A small cheer, then | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
silence as the Duke of Edinburgh arrived in Bourne. He is the most | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
senior royal to visit the town and he is here to open this school's new | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
building. Wow, it's just amazing! I mean I never thought he would come | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
here. It has been nice he has come, because he has a lot of other things | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
to do. I think it is special he has come here in a little town and is | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
acknowledging our centre. The Duke has now headed inside the school and | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
will spend an hour having a look around the new touring centre, which | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
has new computers and new classrooms. It was a delight. The | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
students were delighted, he was on great form. He is great company and | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
a nice guy. guy. Est a number of hospital visits last year. -- | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Despite some hospital visits last year, the Duke is not slowing down. | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
Yesterday he was at the funeral of Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
female Prime Minister who grew up in Grantham. It was brilliant. I didn't | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
get to talk to him, but he seemed very approachable. He asked me about | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
my project and how it works and I took him through it. He was happy to | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
see what we were doing. He asked if I rode to school on my bike. Said I | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
catch the bus. He said you're very lazy. And I laughed. After an hour, | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
the Duke emerged from the school. Students waited to take his | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
photograph. A reminder o' after day here many will never forget. A big | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
day for Bourne. Cardboard police officers are being used at Hull | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
royal infirmary to twrie try and cut down on crime. Its hoped they will | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
act as a deterrent and a calming influence. Our correspondent has | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
been to find out more. This is the hi-tech approach to security at | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
Hull's hospitals. 120 cameras monitoring visitors. But this weapon | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
is less hi-tech. The cardboard police officers are an added measure | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
to help as a calming measure. than a quarter of hospital staff | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
have reported incidents of abuse and harassment. It is hoped the new cut | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
price coppers will help reduce such behaviour. Hospital have reported | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
they seem to have a reduction in anti-social behaviour incidents | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
reported in those locations where the cut outs has been used. It is | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
early day and we have not got figures to support that. But it | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
seeps positive. The cut outs are already a common sight in local | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
stores. But are they a good idea for our hospitals? The amount of people | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
that are watching you, they are looking at you. I have noticed them | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
in the supermarket and it does just make you think. So I think they are | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
a bit of a deterrent. These police officers are just �57 each w the | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
cost shared between the police and the NHS. Both say it is a small | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
price to pay for safer hospitals. Well you might have a view on that. | :09:25. | :09:35. | |

If you want to be in touch, just Or is it policing on the cheap? | :09:52. | :09:59. | |

finals of a national singing competition. Keep the pictures and | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
photographs coming in. Tonight is of Spurn Point and the old light house | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
there. It was taken by Mandy. Thank you for that. Another picture | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
tomorrow night. Good evening young man. A reference to Stuart from | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
Goole, he said, I am a man and I have knitted for many years, I'm six | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
foot two. Has Paul got anything to say. You need to get out a bit more. | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
At six foot two you probably wouldn't say anything. I have some | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
pictures of Leeds Bradford airport. You will like this. A Boyning 727 | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
coming in. Very strong winds. Not at coming in. Very strong winds. Not at | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
the airport, There was a gust of 73mph. I am sure you're excited by | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:25. | ||
those shots. A Boyning 737400.Here is the league table for our part of | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
world, Waddington 60mph this morning. A rough commute. The winds | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
are still gusting in the 40 to 50mph range, but they will ease and | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
tomorrow we have a damp start. But it will brighten up and become a | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
nice day. A ridge of high pressure. This will be with us over the top on | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Saturday. Saturday will be the best day of the weekend. This front may | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
spoil things later on sonned. -- Sunday. But the first part of Sunday | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
will be fine. There is the satellite. We have some sharp | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
showers. There is one in sot Yorkshire and may come into | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Lincolnshire tonight. Elsewhere there is a lot of bright and windy, | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
but sunny weather. The showers will die away and it becomes dry with | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
clear spells, breakfast this front brings -- before this front brings | :12:15. | :12:25. | |
:12:25. | :12:27. | ||
rain. So a wet period to come. the sun will rise in the morning. | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
That is around 5 to 6. High water in Cleethorpes at 25 to 1. A damp start | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
with rain in Lincolnshire. But it clears southwards. And then skies | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
brighten and the afternoon looks pleasant. Dry with some sunshine. A | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
cool on shore breeze, but inland it shouldn't feel too bad and less | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
windy than it has been today. Top temperatures 11 Celsius. Saturday, a | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
lovely day, light winds and dry with sunshine. A fine start on Sunday. | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
With some patchy rain later. That is the forecast. I was on the key board | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
there sending David your address. Six foot two! Serve you right. | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
should get together. Being excite -- having these exciting hobbies. | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
you tomorrow. They are the two most powerful men in Lincolnshire police | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
and the Chief Constable and the crime commissioner say they are | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
focussed on working together. It's the first time Neil Rhodes has | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
spoken about Alan Hardwick's decision to suspend him, a decision | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
which was eventually over turned by a High Court judge. Today they have | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
appeared in public together as it appeared in public together as it | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
was announced that crime is down in Two men, one message. That the crime | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
rate is down in Lincolnshire. But beneath the smiles, there is a | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
history. Alan Hardwick suspended the acting Chief Constable over conduct | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
matters earlier this year. But today speaking for the first time since | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
going back to work, Neil Rhodes said he is looking forward. Alan Hardwick | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
and are both committed to improving the quality of policing in this | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
county. And I think it is important that the story moves from the | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
personalities involved, and focuses again on the quality of policing. | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
But Mr Rhodes is still being investigated for his alleged role in | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
a racial discrimination case at West Yorkshire Police. Mr Rhodes was | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
suspended in February. No reasons were given, but Mr Hardwick referred | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
to matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. In March the | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
IPCC sent the case back to be dealt with locally and Mr Hardwick | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
launched an independent investigation. In March a court | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
overturned the suspension and Mr Rhodes went back to work. Hind sight | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
is a wonderful thing isn't it? The outcome of course is something that | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
both are going to draw a line under. But you have regrets? You are asking | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
me if I have regrets, I have said... About suspending him? That is all in | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
the past. The press conference was held here, because this area was | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
targeted by one particular burglar and since he has been locked up the | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
crime figures have come down here. And people living in the area say | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
they care about the amount of police on the ground, but are they bothered | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
about what has gone on at the top of the force. I don't think a lot of | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
people are bothered. As long as crime is fought by police and there | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
are police still. Good relations would lead to more harmonious work | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
and should be of benefit. outcome of the investigation is | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
expected within week and it will still be some sometime before they | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
:16:03. | :16:19. | ||
It is quite difficult, morale has been reported as low nationally. | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
The frontline police want to get on and do the job. This does not help | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
to encourage police officers to do a great job. We have the police | :16:30. | :16:38. | |
commissioner out there in front of the media, is this a good thing? | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
think these people are appealing for the wrong reasons. They are | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
winded in the wrong ways. -- wounded. Now is the time to get on | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
and do what the public want which is to get policing and the morale | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
of officers up in Lincolnshire. see these people are wounded can | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
they work together and get on with it? These individuals are paid an | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
awful lot of money to do a job, they need to get on and do that. | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
There is no room for sentiment. They have to put this behind them | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
:17:29. | :17:31. | ||
and move forward. There is a lot of work to be done in Lancashire. | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
the commissioners working? I think the jury is still out. Some good | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
things have come out in some areas of the country but there is | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
inconsistency. There are 39 police and Crown Commissioners. The jury | :17:46. | :17:56. | |
:17:56. | :17:58. | ||
is still out on them. -- police and crime are commissioners. I would | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
like to know what you think of this one. Five months on from last | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
autumn when the police and crime commissioners were appointed and | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
started work, do you think it is going well? Text us or send an e- | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
mail. I look forward to hearing from you. Within the last hour it | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
has been revealed that an appeal has been made for the NHS to look | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
again at plans to halt children's heart surgery at Leeds Royal | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
Infirmary. A judicial review found that the process was flawed and a | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
panel has been set up to look at the issue. Campaigners say the | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
challenge is a waste of time. We will continue to follow that on the | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
programme. A father from East Yorkshire who's daughter died last | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
year will be one of those taking part in the London Marathon this | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
weekend. David Pudsey is raising money for the hospice which helped | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
care for his daughter Hannah who was a heart transplant. But David's | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
run is all the more poignant because of his own health problems. | :19:09. | :19:17. | |
Amy Cole reports. The London Marathon is a major event in | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
Britain's sporting calendar and attracts thousands of athletes. | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
Supporting each other during the ruling run will be this father and | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
son who hope to raise as much as they can for the hospice which | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
cared for their daughter and sister. David has another reason to run | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
this year. It might be my last chance to actually run it because I | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
:19:55. | :19:56. | ||
have multiple sclerosis and it takes a lot even now to do it. | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
is a charity that was very close to my sister's heart. It has been just | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
one year since she died. I think doing something like this is like a | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
great tribute. She was 12 when her heart started to feel. Her heart | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
transplant gave her a decade of life during which she urged others | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
to become organ donors. People never get around to doing it. They | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
say they will sign up but they will do it tomorrow and sometimes that | :20:34. | :20:43. | |
:20:44. | :20:44. | ||
tomorrow never comes. This link in based cafe owner is running for his | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
first time and he is not prepared to give up now it despite the fears | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
after bombs at the Boston Marathon. People have supported me for months | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
and months and sponsored need to raise thousands of pounds for my | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
chosen charity, I am more determined than ever. For many it | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
is an experience they simply do not want to miss out on. Good luck to | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
those who are running at the weekend. A new flag for East | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
Yorkshire has been unfurled for the first time. The design was chosen | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
after a competition following legal changes last year which meant the | :21:23. | :21:27. | |

:23:28. | :23:31. | ||
best shot of making it to the grand final. You are at the last choir | :23:31. | :23:37. | |

really helps. Also we have got dedication and enthusiasm and that | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
:24:39. | :24:40. | ||
is what we really need. We will have to be tuned in to the | :24:40. | :24:50. | |

:25:47. | :25:48. | ||
