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

Lincolnshire school that has been opened by the Duke of Edinburgh. And

the choir that's singing it's way in Lincolnshire Police and tonight

the Chief Constable and the Police and Crime Commissioner say they are

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

day for Bourne. Cardboard police officers are being used at Hull

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.
:09:35.:09:52.

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

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.

:13:21.: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.

area can now have its own flag. It was hoisted to the top of Beverley

:21:27.:21:35.

Minster this morning. It is from dead people and it is for the

:21:35.:21:41.

people. It could be about commerce and business. It is about branding.

:21:41.:21:47.

We have to project who we are. Hull City manager Steve Bruce admits

:21:47.:21:50.

there may be a few butterflies ahead of the game with Bristol City

:21:50.:21:54.

tomorrow. They will take an enormous step towards the Premier

:22:12.:22:17.

the adrenalin pumping and we have a wonderful opportunity. We have been

:22:17.:22:21.

in the top six for the best part of six months and we have to see the

:22:21.:22:25.

job through. It will be a big step forward tomorrow if we can get the

:22:25.:22:31.

right result. And if you can't get in to the KC tomorrow you'll find

best shot of making it to the grand final. You are at the last choir

one of the best things to happen in my life. I had butterflies in my
