:00:21. > :00:24.could put lives at risk. Every time I looked at myself, I cried. I do

:00:24. > :00:29.not know what I would do now if I did not have that place. I do not

:00:29. > :00:35.think I would be alive. The wife of a soldier killed in Afghanistan

:00:35. > :00:45.completes a 200 mile charity walk in his memory. Humber Powerboat Racing

:00:45. > :00:45.

:00:45. > :00:50.is hailed as a success even though the local boat crashed out. And a

:00:50. > :00:55.song for the Ashes. The children who have been chosen to sing at one of

:00:55. > :01:05.cricket's biggest matches. It is a glorious start to June, but how long

:01:05. > :01:09.

:01:09. > :01:13.will the sunshine last. Join me later to find out. Good evening. The

:01:13. > :01:17.widow of a soldier from East Yorkshire who was killed in

:01:17. > :01:22.Afghanistan has walked nearly 300 miles to raise money for injured

:01:23. > :01:27.service men and women. Samantha Stone lost husband Gregg, who was

:01:27. > :01:32.from attic near Hornsea last year. She has walked with her baby

:01:32. > :01:36.daughter from Yorkshire to Wiltshire in his memory. Tarah Welsh was with

:01:36. > :01:46.her when she completed her journey and sent this report. Smiles all

:01:46. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:51.round despite a year of sadness for Samantha Stone. Strangers came out

:01:51. > :01:54.to support as she finished her walk in memory of her husband Gregg. He

:01:54. > :02:03.was shot by the Taliban one year ago today. His daughter was born after

:02:03. > :02:07.he died. I think he would be very proud. It has been a brilliant

:02:07. > :02:11.achievement. Everyday they have remembered break stones, as a

:02:11. > :02:17.husband, father, soldier and friend. We clicked. We had some good laughs.

:02:17. > :02:23.He was a bit of a prankster. He was a top guy. You could never get him

:02:23. > :02:32.down. He would uplift you if you were feeling down. He was a bubbly

:02:32. > :02:40.character. He was excellent. Every step has been for the man that they

:02:40. > :02:42.once fought alongside. They have battled through the rain and even

:02:42. > :02:47.marched against the hail to get here. They set off from North

:02:47. > :02:54.Yorkshire were Gregg had trained 11 days ago. 74 miles later, a few

:02:55. > :03:00.blisters, a few injuries, they are finally here in Warminster. My feet

:03:00. > :03:05.are hurting, getting new blisters on my feet. It has been very painful,

:03:05. > :03:12.but it has been good doing it. injuries will heal but they have

:03:12. > :03:16.been raising money for the men and women who have to live with their is

:03:16. > :03:19.and for the families left without their loved ones. It changed his

:03:19. > :03:25.life massively. It changes it completely. Our main goal was to

:03:26. > :03:32.raise awareness and to raise money for the Yorkshire Regiment but also

:03:32. > :03:42.to do it in memory of Gregg. It is worth more. He was a great lad.

:03:42. > :03:43.

:03:43. > :03:48.many came out to show that he will never be forgotten. Well done to

:03:48. > :03:54.Samantha. In a moment, the whole MP who says that new businesses are

:03:54. > :04:00.vital to bringing in prosperity to the Humber area -- Hull. There are

:04:00. > :04:04.claims tonight that lives could be lost because of a cut in the care

:04:04. > :04:07.being offered to children with severe mental health problems. One

:04:07. > :04:16.in ten under 16 's suffer from a mental health disorder and more than

:04:17. > :04:22.half of adults who have mental health problems were diagnosed in

:04:22. > :04:28.their childhood. Now residential care that was offered at the West

:04:28. > :04:36.End Centre in Hull has been cut because it does not meet new

:04:36. > :04:39.national standards. Parents told us it is a lifeline but the NHS insists

:04:39. > :04:44.that care can be better provided in other ways. Just one month after

:04:44. > :04:46.closing the residential part of the west end children's unit, they had

:04:46. > :04:51.to reopen one of the bed. This woman's 13-year-old daughter

:04:52. > :04:54.suffered a relapse last week after being treated for severe mental

:04:54. > :04:57.health problems. Her words have been re-voiced to protect the identity of

:04:57. > :05:00.the family. It was too dangerous for her to come home. If she was left

:05:00. > :05:10.alone, she would kill herself. I found a knife under her pillow and I

:05:10. > :05:13.

:05:13. > :05:15.was worried. They phoned around for a bed but there were no beds

:05:15. > :05:17.anywhere in the country. This was confirmed in a letter written by her

:05:17. > :05:19.consultant psychiatrist. Former residents like this girl who has

:05:19. > :05:23.struggled with body image, claims the units are lifesavers. Every time

:05:23. > :05:30.I looked at myself, I cried. It is devastating to know it will be shut

:05:30. > :05:33.down, because they need that placed to survive. Her mother agrees.

:05:34. > :05:38.are certain children who need that support. I do not think anything

:05:38. > :05:42.will happen until a child perhaps takes their own life and that is how

:05:42. > :05:46.bad it can get. Local health officials say they have stopped

:05:46. > :05:55.offering residential care here because they could not provide a

:05:55. > :05:58.seven-day service. Instead, all serious cases will travel outside of

:05:58. > :06:01.East Riding for round-the-clock care. The nearest beds are in your

:06:01. > :06:07.work, Leeds and Sheffield. Having treatment so far from home can cause

:06:07. > :06:14.problems according to some experts. You need to make it as easy as

:06:14. > :06:20.possible for the young person and their family to care for the young

:06:20. > :06:24.person and just adding that is going to make things even harder. Health

:06:24. > :06:29.officials insist most young people make a better recovery if they are

:06:29. > :06:34.treated closer to home. Union officials point out that some

:06:34. > :06:38.counselling jobs in Hull are being cut. It is a complex service. The

:06:38. > :06:44.fear is that there are no other services available for these young

:06:44. > :06:52.people, so where will they go close macro this teenager is concerned.

:06:52. > :06:54.do not know what I would do if I did not have that place. Patients and

:06:54. > :07:00.professionals agree that treatment is better if it is carried out

:07:00. > :07:06.closer to home. They cannot agree on how best to achieve this. Joining me

:07:06. > :07:11.in the studio is Greg Aitken from the mental health charity Mind. How

:07:11. > :07:18.concerned are you about the removal of this care? Very concerned for the

:07:18. > :07:21.people that would access the service and their families. Your report

:07:21. > :07:26.pointed out that young people particularly respond better to care

:07:26. > :07:34.and support if it is done in their own home or in their own community.

:07:34. > :07:42.The big worry with this solution is that families will have to travel.

:07:42. > :07:45.Whilst concentrating expertise in a location is a good thing to do,

:07:45. > :07:48.counter to that is you have displaced that young person from

:07:48. > :07:53.their community and you will have the problems of reintegrating them

:07:53. > :07:58.back once they are able to leave. the centre does not meet national

:07:58. > :08:05.standards, it is a good thing that care is provided in other ways?

:08:05. > :08:10.There are choices to be made. You can choose to invest in a service or

:08:10. > :08:15.you can choose to invest elsewhere. I am not in a position to comment on

:08:15. > :08:20.the efficiency of the choices being made, but it has to be recognised,

:08:20. > :08:25.that moving young people out of area will put pressure on the families

:08:26. > :08:29.and present additional problems when those young people want to return to

:08:29. > :08:33.those communities. The NHS says young people do better with mental

:08:33. > :08:41.health problems if they are around their family, so services let this

:08:41. > :08:46.one, aren't they a bit redundant? Not entirely. I am sure the

:08:46. > :08:51.investment will ensure that fewer young people need to go into the

:08:51. > :08:54.residential services. However, those that do will be faced with the real

:08:54. > :08:58.problems and there are families will be faced with the problems of

:08:58. > :09:04.supporting the young person when they come out of those residential

:09:04. > :09:09.units. Thank you. I would like to hear from you on this. Are the

:09:09. > :09:19.authorities right to close the services? If you want to get in

:09:19. > :09:32.

:09:32. > :09:36.Nationaol Executive Committee of UKIP are discussing whether action

:09:36. > :09:40.will be taken against a councillor in Lincolnshire. It follows racist

:09:40. > :09:46.remarks posted on the Facebook account of Chris Pain and he says

:09:46. > :09:48.his account had been hacked. Six people have been arrested on

:09:48. > :09:52.suspicion of causing criminal damage at RAF Waddington near Lincoln.

:09:52. > :09:56.Police were called to the base this morning after reports of people

:09:56. > :10:03.causing damage to the perimeter fence. The station is home to

:10:03. > :10:07.several operational units including surveillance aircraft and the new

:10:07. > :10:11.Reaper Drone Squadron. Work has started on the final section of a 40

:10:11. > :10:16.mile water pipeline in Lincolnshire. The route between carbon reservoir

:10:16. > :10:23.and Boston is costing �30 million. When it is finished it will be able

:10:23. > :10:28.to move 26 million litres of water a day. The concept is that they have

:10:28. > :10:32.got to move water around the country, as many water companies do

:10:32. > :10:36.and they have surplus water in the Grimsby area and they have got

:10:36. > :10:38.insufficient water potentially in the future in the Boston area, so

:10:39. > :10:44.they are trying to get infrastructure in place ready for

:10:44. > :10:49.that sort of growth. They also will want resilience if we have

:10:49. > :10:54.droughts. Plans are being drawn up to cut speed limits in Hull city

:10:54. > :10:59.centre to 20 mph. The council says the move would make the city's

:10:59. > :11:03.streets safer, but no decision has been taken over which roads could be

:11:03. > :11:08.included. Organisers of the National powerboat Championships in Hull say

:11:08. > :11:15.it was a success, despite the local team crashing and forcing the final

:11:15. > :11:17.race to be cancelled. One crewmember was treated in hospital after the

:11:17. > :11:24.boat capsised in the Humber. The team are firing to continue racing

:11:24. > :11:32.in the future. For the two crew members on board, there had been

:11:32. > :11:36.smiles and celebrations. The city's hopes had been resting on these two

:11:36. > :11:42.local businessmen, who until 12 weeks ago, had never raced a boat

:11:42. > :11:45.before. On the second lap of the final race, this amateur video

:11:45. > :11:51.captures their speedboat crashing. Rescue teams were there within

:11:51. > :11:55.seconds, pulling both men from the water, shaken and badly bruised.

:11:55. > :11:59.Today, navigator Sam Whitaker was back at the marina to assess the

:11:59. > :12:09.damage. Your train to be aware of the potential of these things

:12:09. > :12:09.

:12:09. > :12:11.happening. Every time you bounce on a wave, you are expecting it and

:12:12. > :12:14.obviously that is the way you drive and navigate these boats. It

:12:14. > :12:17.happens, split second, you're in the water, straight back up and we were

:12:17. > :12:22.OK. Despite their inexperience, race organisers say the crew members had

:12:22. > :12:26.been trained to required standards. While their first Championship race

:12:26. > :12:33.did not end the way they expected, both already have plans to be racing

:12:33. > :12:39.again in just a few weeks time. Despite the local team's unfortunate

:12:39. > :12:47.end, organisers say the weekend's event was a huge success, attracting

:12:47. > :12:50.thousands of spectators. I consider Hull to be our home port. It is a

:12:50. > :12:55.fantastic city to raise in. pilot on board the city's entry has

:12:55. > :12:59.described it as one Hull of a crash. The boat is on its weight for

:12:59. > :13:09.repairs in Portsmouth. This new ambitious team is undeterred and

:13:09. > :13:09.

:13:09. > :13:13.still aiming for their next race at the end of June. This is the third

:13:13. > :13:17.time the city has staged this national event. It has gone from

:13:17. > :13:22.strength to strength. This year 30,000 spectators lined the banks of

:13:22. > :13:25.the Humber, creating what could have been a three and a half million

:13:25. > :13:31.pound boost to the local economy. Organisers will have wanted this

:13:31. > :13:34.local boat to have finished. It will be back in action soon. Not just

:13:34. > :13:40.racing in this country but around the world as well. Despite this

:13:40. > :13:46.crash, great publicity for this city and that is why so many businesses

:13:46. > :13:51.have been keen to sponsor the boat and its crew. 12 weeks ago, these

:13:51. > :14:01.were two ordinary businessmen here in the city. Fantastic achievement.

:14:01. > :14:01.

:14:01. > :14:07.Thank you, Phil. Thank you for sending in your pictures.

:14:07. > :14:16.Still ahead: Rugby league teams improve their play-off chances with

:14:16. > :14:26.winds. -- victories. The Lincolnshire children hoping

:15:02. > :15:12.

:15:12. > :15:19.that is we who came in! For the next 24 hours it is dry, sunny and warm.

:15:19. > :15:23.This weather should continue well into next week. High pressure is in

:15:23. > :15:28.charge and we could have a prolonged spell of thing weather. The first

:15:28. > :15:35.spell since the end of May last year. We have had to wait 30 months

:15:35. > :15:39.which is quite a while! It has been beautiful today. 19 Celsius, about

:15:39. > :15:46.average for the early part of June. Do enjoy this evening if you are out

:15:46. > :15:56.and about. It will be dry and clear. Temperatures will come in at six or

:15:56. > :15:59.

:15:59. > :16:07.seven Celsius. The sun will rise in seven Celsius. The sun will rise in

:16:07. > :16:10.the morning at 4:47am. An absolutely fabulous start to the day. It looks

:16:10. > :16:18.as though we will keep a lot of sunshine throughout the cause of the

:16:18. > :16:26.morning. It is a nice day. The only thing that might excite you as cloud

:16:26. > :16:32.that might come into their Yorkshire coast tomorrow. It will be cruel at

:16:32. > :16:39.times along the East Coast. Inland you will get around 18 or 19

:16:40. > :16:46.Celsius. Wednesday is a little bit of a setback. On Thursday and Friday

:16:46. > :16:56.and over the weekend it is fine, long spells of sunshine. Time to

:17:11. > :17:14.Thank you for giving us that update. A former Cabinet Minister says it is

:17:14. > :17:18.vital that small businesses are given support to reduce

:17:18. > :17:21.unemployment. The percentage of people claiming job-seeker's

:17:21. > :17:27.allowance in the city is more than double the national average.

:17:27. > :17:32.Speaking at the start of Business Week, the Hull West and Hessle MP,

:17:32. > :17:38.Alan Johnson, said enterprise was the key to improving prosperity.

:18:02. > :18:08.am learning to communicate and work with other people. This business

:18:08. > :18:14.could eventually be owned and run by the young people themselves. It is

:18:14. > :18:20.showcasing new types of skills to them. A critical part of what we do

:18:20. > :18:25.is not just for the big companies but the whole of the history of

:18:25. > :18:31.economic success shows we must help all businesses of all sizes. Some

:18:31. > :18:39.like Grimsby food exporters Ramsden International drawl to big

:18:39. > :18:45.businesses. Their overseas sales are already picking up. Look at this

:18:45. > :18:51.Scunthorpe warehouse, the size of eight football pitches. This is the

:18:51. > :18:55.type of resources that the government wants to see. You must

:18:55. > :18:59.make sure you have the supply chain to make this thing work and we need

:18:59. > :19:05.the government 's support. outlook for Humberside depends on

:19:05. > :19:10.the overall economy. There are some good signs out there. The Europeans

:23:49. > :23:54.The children wrote this song themselves with the help of their
