:00:00. > :00:13.warmer. That is it from us. Now the news teams where you
:00:13. > :02:02.are always there for us. I suppose they are more like friends. The
:02:02. > :02:08.Minimum Practice Income Guarantee is a top up payment given to some GP
:02:08. > :02:18.practices. In East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, 63 surgeries receive
:02:18. > :02:22.it, getting a total of £2.3 million. The NHS is phasing it out to create
:02:22. > :02:24.a fairer system of funding for GPs with money shared out more
:02:25. > :02:29.equitably, depending on the numbers of patients and their needs. The
:02:29. > :02:33.government is choosing to take away from doctors a large sum of money
:02:33. > :02:36.that we use to pay for our staff. It is inevitable this is going to
:02:36. > :02:39.affect patient services. It's several tens of thousands of pounds
:02:39. > :02:44.per year, per practice. GPs are going to struggle to keep going with
:02:44. > :02:52.this sort of loss. Villagers here in Rippingale in Lincolnshire know what
:02:52. > :02:55.effect closures can have. The doctors' shut in March, its school
:02:55. > :02:58.and full—time post office have gone, too. Awful, another service gone.
:02:58. > :03:01.There will be people, possibly, isolated in their own homes, who we
:03:01. > :03:05.don't know about, who might be suffering. It's an attractive place
:03:05. > :03:09.to live but come winter some parts of the countryside can be completely
:03:09. > :03:13.cut off. That's when the true value of rural surgeries is felt, but they
:03:13. > :03:18.are expensive to run. Some getting twice the amount of money, per
:03:18. > :03:24.patient, than city practices. The government says that has to stop.
:03:24. > :03:27.It's starting in 2014. They're taking seven years to allow GP
:03:27. > :03:31.practices to adjust to the fact they're only going to get paid for
:03:31. > :03:34.the patients they actually have. So some surgeries will actually get
:03:34. > :03:50.more money, others will have to find a way to provide the same service
:03:50. > :03:52.with less. I'm joined by Dr Richard Vautrey, who represents the British
:03:52. > :03:57.Medical Association who speak on behalf of GPs. Good evening. What
:03:57. > :04:02.effect do you think getting rid of these top up payments will have on
:04:02. > :04:08.smaller GP practices? It could have a major impact. It is a direct
:04:08. > :04:12.result of a government imposing unacceptable contract changes
:04:12. > :04:15.against the will of GPs and against the advice of the BMA. They simply
:04:15. > :04:20.did not listen to us about how damaging these changes could lead if
:04:20. > :04:26.they did not implement them in the right way. Isn't this just GPs
:04:26. > :04:31.saying that they want more money? It is not about more money, it is about
:04:31. > :04:36.how the money is distributed. There will be some practices the game as a
:04:36. > :04:42.result of this process but there will inevitably be some outliers and
:04:42. > :04:44.it might well be that some small, rural practices would not be
:04:44. > :04:52.sustainable on a national contract will need that additional money to
:04:52. > :04:55.enable services to continue. If you see more patients, you should get
:04:55. > :05:02.more money, it is as simple as that, surely? We should ensure that
:05:02. > :05:06.practices can be sustainable but there are some special
:05:06. > :05:12.circumstances. Some practices will not be sustainable. We have to look
:05:12. > :05:18.at each individual practice very carefully. There will be those
:05:18. > :05:24.outliers that need to be looked at. People will be interested in this
:05:24. > :05:28.from rural places. Could some GP surgeries have to close down because
:05:28. > :05:32.they cannot be sustained? I hope that is not the case, but it could
:05:32. > :05:37.be, if the Government does not work with us closely and come up with
:05:37. > :05:39.answers quickly. Practices need—to—know, because this is
:05:40. > :05:45.starting from April next year, and at the moment the Government and NHS
:05:45. > :05:49.England, charged with putting these plans in place, are simply not
:05:49. > :06:01.giving us answers to the questions that we are asking. I'm sure you
:06:01. > :06:03.will have a view on this story, should rural GPs continue to receive
:06:04. > :06:06.extra funding from the Government? Or maybe you think these rural
:06:06. > :06:09.services don't need protecting? We have lost post offices and village
:06:09. > :06:18.shops. Should GP surgeries be ring fenced? You can contact us.
:06:18. > :06:29.In a moment, no guarantees on the future of Lincolnshire's Police
:06:29. > :06:34.commissioner as investigations continue into why he suspended his
:06:34. > :06:38.Chief Constable. It's the busiest time of year for our seaside resorts
:06:38. > :06:42.but one of the main sea front car parks in Skegness will be closed
:06:42. > :06:50.over the weekend after more than a hundred travellers set up camp. East
:06:50. > :06:53.Lindsey District Council says it started legal proceedings as soon as
:06:53. > :06:56.they arrived and hopes to minimise disruption. The travellers who say
:06:56. > :06:59.they've come to Skegness for a celebration, thought to be a wedding
:06:59. > :07:03.could now be forcibly removed. Jessica Lane reports. It is a
:07:03. > :07:09.300—space car park on the seafront with no room for holiday—makers. It
:07:09. > :07:12.has become a travellers site for 100 people and more are expected. The
:07:12. > :07:18.local government secretary Eric Pickles said that councils must act
:07:18. > :07:24.quickly to clamp down on all authorised travellers sites. When
:07:24. > :07:29.this issue happened, the relative is that there was a clear process that
:07:29. > :07:34.we have to go through, in law, and we cannot deviate from that,
:07:34. > :07:39.otherwise we will get nowhere. They have to get court permission to
:07:39. > :07:43.serve the travellers with notice and if they do
:07:44. > :07:47.days they can be forcibly removed. We have spoken to some of the
:07:47. > :07:51.travellers. None wanted to be interviewed but they said they are
:07:51. > :07:55.here for a family gathering and say that they are not planning to stay
:07:55. > :08:01.long—term. One business owner says he welcomes custom from everyone. We
:08:01. > :08:04.had the bar for last night from locals and the travelling community
:08:04. > :08:09.and they got on fantastically well, no problems at all. Townspeople say
:08:09. > :08:16.they are concerned about the possibility of trouble. They have a
:08:16. > :08:19.pitch, they should keep to it. I would have thought they could have
:08:19. > :08:26.picked a better place than a seaside town. The police told me that
:08:26. > :08:29.travellers come every year but there is no increase in crime connected
:08:29. > :08:32.with their visit. They put extra officers on patrol during the summer
:08:32. > :08:37.months but are not concerned about trouble over the weekend. The
:08:37. > :08:41.council says that there will be 24—hour security around car parks in
:08:41. > :08:47.the town to make sure that the rest remain open. Jessica is that the
:08:47. > :08:52.travellers camp in Skegness at the moment. Is there any indication how
:08:52. > :08:57.long they are going to stay? The travellers I have spoke to said they
:08:57. > :09:05.don't expect to be here much longer than the weekend, but this is quite
:09:05. > :09:09.a sensitive issue for Skegness. In 2000, as some people might
:09:09. > :09:13.remember, hundreds of travellers came over Christmas and New Year. It
:09:13. > :09:18.meant some of the bars and clubs closed for a short time. Everyone I
:09:18. > :09:22.have spoken to has said they do not expect anything like that to happen
:09:22. > :09:26.this time round. The police expect this to be a peaceful visit and they
:09:26. > :09:38.expect the travellers to be leaving early next week. A reminder of the
:09:38. > :09:47.ways that you can contact us. Thank you for watching. A children's
:09:48. > :09:52.paddling pool in Hull — believed to be source of a bacteria that made
:09:52. > :09:55.children ill — is to stay closed for the rest of the summer. 18 children
:09:55. > :09:58.from Hull and East Yorkshire had the cryptospiridium bug. Hull City
:09:58. > :10:05.Council says the pool at East Park is still being tested for bacteria.
:10:05. > :10:09.Network Rail says is doesn't know when it will be able to lift a new
:10:09. > :10:13.railway bridge into place in Hull. Engineers say they're being delayed
:10:13. > :10:18.by ground conditions as they try to dig concrete piles. Traffic on
:10:18. > :10:21.Spring Bank is still disrupted. An influential committee of MPs is to
:10:21. > :10:25.visit Lincolnshire as part of its investigation into the role of
:10:26. > :10:28.police and crime commissioners. The Home Affairs Select Committee has
:10:28. > :10:38.criticised the way Lincolnshire's Chief Constable was suspended by the
:10:39. > :10:41.force's commissioner, Alan Hardwick. Yesterday, a report into that
:10:41. > :10:43.suspension cleared the chief constable Neil Rhodes of any
:10:43. > :10:46.wrongdoing. However, the select committee believes questions still
:10:46. > :10:49.remain about the way the matter was handled by the commissioner. It is
:10:49. > :10:59.very clear that there are lessons to be learned as a result of what
:10:59. > :11:05.happened over this issue and I think that Peter Fahey's report draws a
:11:05. > :11:11.line under this issue but people need to learn the lessons that come
:11:11. > :11:13.out of this sorry state of affairs. This story has had a lot of response
:11:13. > :12:02.after we talked about it last night. That is a reference to the crime
:12:03. > :12:05.commission. —— commissioner. Alan Hardwick is also under scrutiny from
:12:06. > :12:08.the Lincolnshire Police and Crime Panel. I spoke to Chris Cook who's
:12:09. > :12:11.leading their investigation and asked him whether they had full
:12:11. > :12:16.confidence in the commissioner. We are looking at the investigation
:12:16. > :12:19.from Sir Peter Fahey. We are carrying out a full review, and we
:12:19. > :12:25.cannot comment on it until we interview the Commissioner, himself.
:12:25. > :12:34.Some viewers have said that Alan Hardwick has lost all credibility.
:12:34. > :12:37.the Commissioner is a waste of time, and that he must now resign. There
:12:37. > :12:41.are two issues, the suspension and the investigation. He was right to
:12:41. > :12:47.launch that investigation. We are looking at the suspension, as a
:12:47. > :12:52.panel. Is it working for him as a Commissioner? It is too early to
:12:52. > :12:57.say. It was new territory for the Commissioner. We are looking at
:12:57. > :13:04.that, as part of our review —— as part of our review. That is not a
:13:04. > :13:11.ringing endorsement. It is still too early to say. Your department's
:13:11. > :13:20.handling of this has been described as shambolic by Keith Vaz MP. Is
:13:20. > :13:26.that right? We have got full control of the situation. You think that the
:13:26. > :13:33.legal bill of £37,000 is money well spent when police budgets are being
:13:33. > :13:37.cut? We look at all the costs, we need to look at the costs of Neil
:13:37. > :13:44.Rhodes, as well in this. We'll Alan Hardwick the Commissioner in a year
:13:44. > :13:49.from now? He was elected as Commissioner last year and it is not
:13:49. > :13:54.in my remit to say that. Will you want Neil Rhodes for this job after
:13:54. > :13:57.everything he has been through? This has been an open, transparent
:13:57. > :14:09.process and if Neil Rhodes applies for that, he will go through this
:14:10. > :14:13.process accordingly. And the story goes on. Coming up on the programme.
:14:13. > :14:25.Setting off on a Premier League journey, Hull city are back in the
:14:26. > :14:29.big time. And we're celebrating the Wolds Way — which after more than 30
:14:29. > :14:34.years — still brings a million people to East Yorkshire each year.
:14:34. > :14:38.Some fantastic pictures coming up in a moment. If you have got a good one
:14:39. > :14:53.to send to us, this one is of the Yorkshire walls near Driffield. ——
:14:53. > :14:59.Wolds. Good evening, Keeley Donovan. One viewer has said that they would
:14:59. > :15:04.like a calendar that will count down to the next holiday for Paul, and if
:15:04. > :15:10.you could put it on the back of a signed photograph, that would be
:15:10. > :15:20.better. Thank you very much for that. I want see you for another
:15:20. > :15:25.week, Peter, how will you get by? Temperatures rose to 24 Celsius
:15:25. > :15:33.today, and it will be more unsettled tomorrow. We'll be breezy with rain
:15:33. > :15:45.at times. You can see those isobars tightly packed. On Sunday it will be
:15:46. > :15:46.breezier still. We have had some good spells of sunshine today.
:15:46. > :15:57.Temperatures reaching It will stay dry tonight. Cloud will
:15:57. > :16:02.tend to thicken with temperatures falling back to around 13 Celsius.
:16:02. > :16:10.Tomorrow morning, that Breeze will pick up.
:16:10. > :16:20.Chamorro, cloud will continue to thicken. It will not be washed out,
:16:20. > :16:25.but it will be quite breezy, so it could feel cooler, and we will have
:16:25. > :16:30.spells of rain pushing in from the west. The breeze is going to pick up
:16:30. > :16:42.later tonight and into tomorrow, it could become gusty at times with
:16:42. > :16:49.temperatures tempered by that breeze. Sunday is going to be
:16:49. > :16:52.brighter. You cannot rule out some showers across parts of
:16:52. > :16:59.Lincolnshire. It will still be correct breezy. It will be variable
:16:59. > :17:07.cloud and more breezy weather on Monday. Some fine weather to come as
:17:07. > :17:11.pressure builds next week. I was cruel reading out that letter from
:17:11. > :17:23.Keith, and embarrassing him. It is Keith Taylor of Laceby Road,
:17:23. > :17:33.Grimsby. He likes you! Have a nice weekend. A farmer from East
:17:33. > :17:36.Yorkshire has narrowly missed out on a place in the Guinness Book of
:17:36. > :17:39.Records, for growing the world's biggest yield of barley. John
:17:39. > :17:42.Porter, who's farm is near Aldborough, had a crop which
:17:42. > :17:46.measured at 11.9 tonnes for every two and a half acres but needed 12.2
:17:46. > :17:49.tonnes for a place in the record books. It's just 48 hours before
:17:49. > :17:59.Hull City step out on to football's biggest stage. The Tigers kick—off
:17:59. > :18:02.their Premier League campaign at the pre—season favourites Chelsea who
:18:02. > :18:06.have Jose Mourinho back in charge. Our sports reporter Simon Clark has
:18:06. > :18:08.been talking to the fans about The Tigers' chances for the coming
:18:08. > :18:14.season. They were taking time out from the harvest at this east
:18:14. > :18:17.Yorkshire farm today. The lifelong Hull City fan was looking ahead to a
:18:17. > :18:23.Premier league season starting at Chelsea. Looking at the game on
:18:24. > :18:29.Sunday against Chelsea, that is a day out, and we will have a hard
:18:29. > :18:36.graft to get points at home, so survival is key. The Premier league
:18:36. > :18:40.is going to be harder than the last time, but we have got better players
:18:40. > :18:47.and a better manager, so hopefully we will be all right. Obviously
:18:47. > :18:50.playing all these big teams again, hopefully, we can stay in the
:18:50. > :19:02.Premier league longer the last time. Nobody knows what the players are
:19:02. > :19:09.feeling better than Dean Windass. He is confident that the club can
:19:09. > :19:12.progress. I think anything is a bonus, if you stay up, if you finish
:19:12. > :19:22.fourth from bottom, that is a massive achievement. Mike Morgan has
:19:22. > :19:25.written about the Tigers for three decades for national newspapers. He
:19:25. > :19:34.thinks that they will do OK this season. It is the younger guys who
:19:34. > :19:40.could be a surprise package that I am looking forward to. And this is
:19:40. > :19:50.the man plotting the downfall of the Tigers. He is called Jose. Teams
:19:50. > :19:55.come from the lower divisions with the fantastic mentality. These are a
:19:55. > :20:03.team that we have to look at these matches. All roads lead to Stamford
:20:03. > :20:11.Bridge, it seems, but this one will take you to your. This will be
:20:11. > :20:15.watched in 183 different countries. Millions of people around the world
:20:15. > :20:25.will be watching Hull City this weekend. So, the Tiger nation is on
:20:25. > :20:38.the move. Destination, Premier League. Someone
:20:38. > :20:40.to Stamford Bridge by mistake. BBC Radio Humberside will have full
:20:40. > :20:43.commentary on Hull City's first match back in the Premier League on
:20:43. > :20:46.Sunday, the coverage starts from three o'clock. Before that they will
:20:46. > :20:49.have commentary on Scunthorpe United's match against Dagenham and
:20:49. > :20:52.Redbridge tomorrow on their FM frequency. Grimsby Town's match at
:20:52. > :20:55.Welling will be on AM, DAB and online. BBC Radio Lincolnshire will
:20:55. > :21:03.have full commentary of Lincoln City match against Forest Green.
:21:03. > :21:08.After their derby win, Hull FC play Salford where another victory could
:21:08. > :21:11.guarantee a place in the play—offs. Both teams suffered injuries to
:21:11. > :21:14.players in the game, but Coach Peter Gentle says his side is fully
:21:14. > :21:18.focussed on tonight's match despite their Challenge Cup final only a
:21:18. > :21:20.week away. I think that they will be a dangerous proposition. Ryan
:21:20. > :21:28.McGoldrick will come back to haunt us. We are expecting them, so we
:21:28. > :21:37.will try and protect ourselves. We have got to go at it full tilt. And
:21:38. > :21:40.you can hear commentary of Hull FC's game tonight on BBC Radio
:21:40. > :21:47.Humberside. Kick—off in that match is at 8pm. And they've also coverage
:21:47. > :21:55.from Hull KR's match with Leeds Rhinos from eight o'clock as well.
:21:55. > :21:59.140 tribute acts will arrive in East Yorkshire this weekend for a music
:21:59. > :22:02.festival. Tribfest, which is in its seventh year will feature groups
:22:02. > :22:06.paying homage to acts like Pink Floyd and the Kings of Leon at
:22:06. > :22:09.Sledmere House near Driffield. When we first started out, we could not
:22:09. > :22:18.afford it, and now we are in the ideal place, miles from anywhere, a
:22:18. > :22:31.beautiful sight. It is the Knebworth of the North! For more than 30 years
:22:31. > :22:34.the Yorkshire Wolds Way has been one of our most scenic and inspiring
:22:34. > :22:37.walks. These days its enjoyed by almost a million people every year
:22:37. > :22:40.but despite that many parts remain largely undiscovered. Over the next
:22:40. > :22:42.four weeks our Environment Correspondent Phil Connell will
:22:42. > :22:46.explore the walks future and meet some of the people who live and work
:22:46. > :22:50.on this dramatic landscape. Tonight he looks at the history of the Wolds
:22:50. > :22:57.Way and how this special part of Yorkshire became a designated
:22:57. > :23:01.National Trail. It could be Yorkshire's best kept secret. After
:23:01. > :23:12.30 years as a recognised tourist attraction, the Wolds Way still seen
:23:12. > :23:16.as an undiscovered gem. It is a journey that starts at the Humber
:23:16. > :23:25.Bridge and winds its way through 79 miles of countryside, ending in the
:23:25. > :23:30.seaside town of Filey. To walk it comfortably takes five or six days.
:23:30. > :23:33.In the 1960s, the story of the Wolds Way began. A group of local ramblers
:23:33. > :23:40.were to have this, their favourite area, recognised as a designated
:23:40. > :23:48.walk. It took 14 years of campaigning but in 1982, the Wolds
:23:49. > :23:54.Way was created and the rest, as they say, is history. These days,
:23:54. > :23:58.around 800,000 people walk parts of the Wolds Way every year. Each of
:23:58. > :24:05.them grateful to those early campaigners, who fought to establish
:24:05. > :24:12.a legal right of way. It was violent at times. The gamekeepers were a bit
:24:12. > :24:16.hard. They had sticks on them. Put people in hospital, and in court,
:24:16. > :24:24.and in prison, but it is a good legacy. Today, preserving the legacy
:24:24. > :24:34.has fallen to a new generation of walkers. These ramblers from Market
:24:34. > :24:42.Weeton walk here at responsibly. —— at least once a week. Do you feel
:24:42. > :24:45.selfish keeping this as a well—kept secret for Yorkshire? A little bit,
:24:45. > :24:55.yes. The distinctive landscape enjoyed by
:24:55. > :25:01.ramblers is also steeped in history. Ancient churches are often
:25:01. > :25:05.at the centre of village life and a long the Wolds Way there is one
:25:05. > :25:13.local family to thank for their survival. This church was pretty
:25:13. > :25:18.much derelict and required a massive amount of work because it had been
:25:18. > :25:26.neglected. employed to renovate 19 local
:25:26. > :25:31.churches. Saint Edith's at Bishop Wilton is a fine example. The floor
:25:31. > :25:35.is an exact copy of one you would find in the Vatican. It is work that
:25:35. > :25:47.today would have cost millions of pounds, and all that was paid for by
:25:47. > :25:54.Sir Tatton Sykes and his son. What would have happened to this church?
:25:54. > :25:58.It would have been derelict. It has been completely reconstructed. That
:25:58. > :26:02.is what would have happened. These churches were not just built for
:26:02. > :26:06.worship, but the people to do all kinds of social things, to have
