:00:00. > 3:59:59a million New Yorkers celebrated 2014 in the traditional way. There's
:00:00. > :00:11.more throughout the evening A Grimsby mother whose son was
:00:12. > :00:14.killed at a notorious accident blackspot near Lincoln says she's
:00:15. > :00:17.unhappy at the lack of safety improvements at the junction.
:00:18. > :00:20.Special Constable Scott Bennett died a year ago on the A46 at Dunholme
:00:21. > :00:24.and his mother says she's still waiting for the authorities to do
:00:25. > :00:27.something about the large number of crashes in the area. Amanda White
:00:28. > :00:31.reports. Scott Bennett was working towards a
:00:32. > :00:36.career in the police when his car collided with a lorry on the A46
:00:37. > :00:44.near Welton just over a year ago. He walked out of the door that morning
:00:45. > :00:47.to go to his police training. He basically never walked back in it
:00:48. > :00:54.again. You know, the devastation this road accident has caused has
:00:55. > :00:57.just been absolutely phenomenal. ?? WHITE The tragedy was no surprise to
:00:58. > :01:01.Graham Williamson, who has counted 400 accidents in his ten years at
:01:02. > :01:04.the garage on the junction. All you hear is metal. It's frightening.
:01:05. > :01:11.Seriously, something needs to be done, not later, something now. It
:01:12. > :01:15.needs to be dealt with. There needs to be some sort of calming system. I
:01:16. > :01:18.don't know. I don't know what to say, roundabout, traffic lights,
:01:19. > :01:21.whatever. It needs to stop because people... There's going to be more
:01:22. > :01:25.fatalities. One of the problems with this junction is once vehicles come
:01:26. > :01:28.over the brow of this hill they are often travelling at speed and
:01:29. > :01:31.downhill and it makes it very difficult to react to what's
:01:32. > :01:35.happening at the junction. This is probably one of the worst junctions
:01:36. > :01:49.we have in the county. We have vehicle activated signs, telling
:01:50. > :01:53.people to slow down. Little or no notice is taken of those. We do need
:01:54. > :01:57.something extra at this junction and we are looking at ideas for that.
:01:58. > :02:07.Will the measures be enough for Scott's family? It is about time
:02:08. > :02:12.somebody did something about it. You need to stand up and listen to the
:02:13. > :02:15.people, to the residents of the area and actually do something about it.
:02:16. > :02:19.How many more deaths do we have to have before somebody takes this on
:02:20. > :02:22.board and actually thinks, yeah, we have got problem here? For now,
:02:23. > :02:25.though, the safety of motorists here is very much in their own hands.
:02:26. > :02:30.Five people have been arrested as part of a murder investigation in
:02:31. > :02:33.Hull. A man, who's believed to be in his thirties, was found with serious
:02:34. > :02:36.injuries near the City Centre at just after six o'clock this morning
:02:37. > :02:40.and died in hospital. Four men and a woman are being questioned as part
:02:41. > :02:43.of the investigation into the man's death.
:02:44. > :02:46.It's been a mixed afternoon for our local football sides. In the Premier
:02:47. > :02:51.League, Hull City lost by two goals to nil away against Liverpool.
:02:52. > :02:54.Scunthorpe United are two points clear at the top of League Two after
:02:55. > :02:58.they beat Rochdale 3`0 at Glanford Park. And in the Conference Grimsby
:02:59. > :03:01.Town and Lincoln City drew a bad tempered game 1`1. Both sides had a
:03:02. > :03:04.player sent off. Dozens of people braved the wind and
:03:05. > :03:08.rain today today for the annual charity swim in the sea off Hornsea
:03:09. > :03:11.in East Yorkshire. Hundreds also lined the shore to support them and
:03:12. > :03:17.raise money for the local Inshore Rescue lifeboat team. Sarah Walton
:03:18. > :03:25.reports. It was a Scottish piper that lead
:03:26. > :03:28.swimmers to the sea this afternoon. Fitting for weather conditions more
:03:29. > :03:33.suited to the highlands. Not that anyone seemed to mind.
:03:34. > :03:36.Several hundred people turned up to support the dippers, but it wasn't
:03:37. > :03:39.long before the wind and rain forced even the hardiest to retreat to the
:03:40. > :03:43.lifeboat station for warmth. Good bit of fun on New Year's Day!
:03:44. > :03:47.Get rid of a hangover. WITH AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: Freezing. A bit
:03:48. > :03:52.different to Australia! I couldn't stand it. I went straight in and
:03:53. > :03:55.then came straight out. It's a vital part of the community, is the
:03:56. > :03:59.lifeboat, and for us all to do something like this, it's our chance
:04:00. > :04:01.to put something back as well. And that effort is greatly appreciated.
:04:02. > :04:04.We generally raise over ?1,000, which is awesome, so we're hoping
:04:05. > :04:08.we've done the same today. Everyone's been putting their hands
:04:09. > :04:11.in their pockets. I think even more so with the weather conditions being
:04:12. > :04:16.so bad! It's so cold. But after a quick change and a cup of tea, most
:04:17. > :04:20.said they will be back again next year.
:04:21. > :04:26.Time for a look at the weather with Jennifer Bartram. Hello. Good
:04:27. > :04:30.evening. January has got off to a fairly soggy start and we still have
:04:31. > :04:33.a fair few showers to get through as we go through the night. Some of
:04:34. > :04:37.these showers will be on the heavy side, perhaps producing a touch of
:04:38. > :04:40.hail in places, but they will start to dissipate into the early hours of
:04:41. > :04:43.tomorrow morning. Temperatures overnight getting down to around
:04:44. > :04:46.five or six and staying fairly breezy. Dry to start with tomorrow
:04:47. > :04:49.morning. We will see some good spells of sunshine and a
:04:50. > :04:50.decent`looking day all in all. Temperatures tomorrow getting up to
:04:51. > :04:54.a high or around seven or That's all for the moment. I'm back
:04:55. > :05:20.with the late news at 22.40. Hello. It is a New Year but it is
:05:21. > :05:27.the same old weather. Flood warnings are on the rise. The flood line
:05:28. > :05:33.number is on screen if you are at all concerned. Still some rain to
:05:34. > :05:36.come this evening and overnight Still some heavy bursts. It will
