:00:08. > :00:12.And joining in. The headlines from us.

:00:13. > :00:15.The death of a rail worker ` claims safety procedures were ignored.

:00:16. > :00:18.The question is, why were they there when they knew there were trains

:00:19. > :00:25.still running on the other side of the track?

:00:26. > :00:33.Parents are told their children should be in school ` even if they

:00:34. > :00:38.have an infectious illness. If it is contagious, the child should be kept

:00:39. > :00:39.of to stop anything spreading. If you stay home, you nip it in the

:00:40. > :00:45.bud. A call to scrap equal pay between

:00:46. > :00:49.the north and the south. And making a splash for cash ` Luke

:00:58. > :01:09.unsettled week. All the details in 15 minutes. Good evening.

:01:10. > :01:13.A rail worker who was hit by a train in Saxilby near Lincoln died as a

:01:14. > :01:16.result of a string of broken and ignored safety procedures. That was

:01:17. > :01:19.the finding of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch report into the

:01:20. > :01:26.death of 26`year`old Scott Dobson, who was killed in December 2012. It

:01:27. > :01:31.adds to concerns about the lack of safety precautions for thousands of

:01:32. > :01:35.casual rail workers. Paul Murphy reports.

:01:36. > :01:41.This is an industry which, by its very nature, is hazardous. But is

:01:42. > :01:44.safety taken seriously enough? It is December 2012, early in the

:01:45. > :01:51.afternoon on a railway line in Lincolnshire. The gang of workers

:01:52. > :01:57.are repairing the track. One of the workers steps back just as a train

:01:58. > :02:00.is passing. He doesn't survive. Network Rail called the death of

:02:01. > :02:07.Scott Dobson a watershed moment, and promised new safety rules. Scott had

:02:08. > :02:10.been hired that day by an agency. Many in the industry say safety is

:02:11. > :02:15.compromised by the use of such casual staff. We have spoken to

:02:16. > :02:19.track workers who have done casual shifts for renewables companies

:02:20. > :02:24.across the North of England. They tell us bad safety practices are

:02:25. > :02:32.widespread. I worked with one client for a year because I wouldn't do

:02:33. > :02:35.work that wasn't safe. More than a year on, Scott's family still has

:02:36. > :02:39.questions about the safety of the gang on that day at Saxilby. Why

:02:40. > :02:47.were they there when they knew that somebody would have been in danger?

:02:48. > :02:52.80,000 people are registered to work on railways. Only a quarter of them

:02:53. > :02:55.are Network Rail staff. Scott Dobson's death has forced the

:02:56. > :02:59.company to rethink the way they manage this workforce. We will no

:03:00. > :03:06.longer accept employees to be employed by agencies. They will only

:03:07. > :03:10.be employed by Network Rail. We need to make sure this is the last

:03:11. > :03:16.fatality, and we will make sure any changes are made to reverse those

:03:17. > :03:18.risks. Scott had been hired that day by a recruitment company called

:03:19. > :03:24.sky`blue, a subsidiary of the engineering giant Carillion. They

:03:25. > :03:27.tell us they are unable to comment on specific questions or issues

:03:28. > :03:33.related to Scott's death until after an inquest and further enquiry. They

:03:34. > :03:36.do however say that they go to great lengths to ensure they workforce can

:03:37. > :03:43.raise safety concerns, and that these will be acted upon. Since the

:03:44. > :03:48.incident, they say, they have gone beyond industry standards to put in

:03:49. > :03:52.place new safety procedures. Network Rail has said that by September,

:03:53. > :03:55.many of its new safety reforms will be in place ` too late for Scott's

:03:56. > :04:04.family, but aimed at preventing a repeat of the terrible events which

:04:05. > :04:10.took his life. Paul's out on the rail network this

:04:11. > :04:16.evening. Do you think there will be genuine safety improvements as a

:04:17. > :04:22.result of Scott Dobson's death? I think it is fair to say that a year

:04:23. > :04:26.run, there is still concern about safety, particularly from the rail

:04:27. > :04:30.unions, who believe this is a proliferation of casual staff and

:04:31. > :04:35.evolved chain of responsibility down the supply chain to subcontractors

:04:36. > :04:40.is bad for rail safety. Network rail, which runs this rail and rails

:04:41. > :04:46.all ran the country, says that his death was a watershed moment. The

:04:47. > :04:50.big lessons have been learned. It is implementing safety changes which

:04:51. > :04:54.come into effect in September. This will make the railway is a much

:04:55. > :04:59.safer place to work, and prevent a repeat of the tragedy of December of

:05:00. > :05:02.last year. Thank you very much. And this story is covered in more detail

:05:03. > :05:05.on tonight's Inside Out for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. You can

:05:06. > :05:12.hear from the union and others who've carried out track work on the

:05:13. > :05:15.railways. In a moment: The hospitals under

:05:16. > :05:29.scrutiny as inspectors drive to raise standards. Parents in east

:05:30. > :05:32.Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are being told their children could still

:05:33. > :05:39.attend school even if they have an infectious illness. Conjunctivitis,

:05:40. > :05:43.tonsillitis, and hand, foot and mouth are classed as minor ailments

:05:44. > :05:47.in a leaflet being made available to schools across East Yorkshire.

:05:48. > :05:54.They can't be happy and healthy all of the time, but on the days when

:05:55. > :05:57.they are sick, should they be here? In Yorkshire, parents have been

:05:58. > :06:02.given this leaflet to help them make this decision. In the list of

:06:03. > :06:07.reasons to not keep your child off school, are contagious diseases like

:06:08. > :06:13.conjunctivitis, and, foot and mouth disease, and tonsillitis.

:06:14. > :06:19.Conjunctivitis is very contagious, particularly the viral forms. If you

:06:20. > :06:25.get an outbreak of that in a school, it is nasty. It lasts for ten days.

:06:26. > :06:31.In secondary schools in England, 55% of authorised absences were due to

:06:32. > :06:35.illness. In the East Riding, that figure was 60%. It is the second

:06:36. > :06:39.highest in the country. The local authority says it is acting on

:06:40. > :06:44.advice from both the government and the NHS. The decision about your

:06:45. > :06:47.sending a charter school remains with the parents. We're not saying

:06:48. > :06:51.anything other than that. Parents should use their judgement and

:06:52. > :06:55.common sense because parents know their children best. We hope to do

:06:56. > :07:01.here is help them make a good decision. To want a child with

:07:02. > :07:04.tonsillitis in your classroom? We have a duty of care to our staff and

:07:05. > :07:08.children at the school. We have a balancing act to do. We wait

:07:09. > :07:13.children to maximise their time in school, but we don't want them when

:07:14. > :07:17.they are infectious. A bit of common sense, liaising with the local

:07:18. > :07:24.general practitioners as to whether it is appropriate for the child to

:07:25. > :07:28.be in school. I think they are best off at home. If they stay at home,

:07:29. > :07:33.you need it in the bad and that is the end of it. If it is contagious,

:07:34. > :07:37.they should stay off to keep it spreading. If they can keep going,

:07:38. > :07:42.it is best to do that. It may just be a day off here and there, but

:07:43. > :07:48.they do end up missing school. It can affect academic achievement. The

:07:49. > :07:50.local authority hope these local guidelines will help people think

:07:51. > :07:54.twice before keeping their child off school.

:07:55. > :07:57.What do you think of this story? If your child had conjunctivitis,

:07:58. > :08:03.tonsillitis or hand, foot and mouth disease, would you automatically

:08:04. > :08:08.keep them away from the classroom? Should they be at school or not?

:08:09. > :08:21.Here's the e`mail. Some more news now.

:08:22. > :08:23.A 33`year`old man has been arrested after armed police cordoned off a

:08:24. > :08:27.Lincolnshire village. Officers were called to a flat in Ruskington this

:08:28. > :08:30.morning after a report that there was an armed man inside. The

:08:31. > :08:35.stand`off ended when a trained negotiator persuaded the suspect to

:08:36. > :08:39.come out peacefully. Police say the man was on his own and that no`one

:08:40. > :08:42.else was at risk. Lincolnshire Police is joining four

:08:43. > :08:45.other forces in the East Midlands to work more closely. Traffic policing,

:08:46. > :08:50.armed response and dog sections will each work as single regional teams.

:08:51. > :08:55.Chief constables say it will increase the number of available

:08:56. > :08:58.officers and save money. Some Yorkshire Ambulance staff are

:08:59. > :09:01.coming to the end of a four`hour strike. The Unite Union, which

:09:02. > :09:04.organised a 24`hour walk`out on Saturday ` says new shifts could

:09:05. > :09:10.mean paramedics working ten hours without a meal break. The Ambulance

:09:11. > :09:15.Service says it's had contingency plans in place.

:09:16. > :09:19.There are calls for people working in the public sector in Lincolnshire

:09:20. > :09:24.and East Yorkshire to be paid less than those doing the same job in the

:09:25. > :09:28.South. The Institute of Directors says it's 'crazy' to have equal pay

:09:29. > :09:33.in London and places like Hull and Lincoln. They claim it discourages

:09:34. > :09:37.businesses from coming to the north because they can't compete with pay

:09:38. > :09:40.rates in the public sector. More from the Institute of Directors in a

:09:41. > :09:47.moment, but first, Kate Sweeting has been finding out what people living

:09:48. > :09:50.here think of the idea. Debates about the north/south divide

:09:51. > :09:53.are nothing new, but now a group which represents business leaders

:09:54. > :10:04.says a divide exists, and wages should reflect that. It's a view

:10:05. > :10:08.which has angered unions here. Fuel prices have not fallen in the North

:10:09. > :10:13.compared to the south. It is the politics of divide and conquer. It

:10:14. > :10:16.is about making sure our working people have dignified lives and are

:10:17. > :10:19.able to go out and provide for their families and have good opportunities

:10:20. > :10:24.in life. And people in Hull agree paying people less in the north

:10:25. > :10:27.wouldn't be fair. People work just as hard in the North as they do in

:10:28. > :10:36.the south. It should be just a sequel. Do the same work, get the

:10:37. > :10:44.same pay. It should be based on your job, not where you live. That it's

:10:45. > :10:48.cheaper to live here. Yes. Is it really any cheaper living here than

:10:49. > :10:53.in the South? A pint of milk will cost the same wherever you live. As

:10:54. > :10:56.all filling up your car or even buying a car. The difference comes

:10:57. > :11:00.to when you buy a house. The average cost of a house in the south is

:11:01. > :11:04.twice as expensive as it is in the north. And for some, the lower cost

:11:05. > :11:07.of living is a big attraction. Sebastian Musil is moving his energy

:11:08. > :11:16.investment business from the south to Hull. If I can pay people less,

:11:17. > :11:20.it is better for them to be in a job that they are qualified rather then

:11:21. > :11:23.being an employed or working in a job that maybe they have to do just

:11:24. > :11:27.to earn money. So while some say a pay divide could create jobs in the

:11:28. > :11:38.north, workers here may take some convincing. This came from the

:11:39. > :11:43.Institute of directors. I spoke to their chief economist. I put it to

:11:44. > :11:49.him if we reduce wages in the north, those people will have less money to

:11:50. > :11:53.spend, affecting the economy. The biggest thing is we have to make

:11:54. > :11:56.sure that businesses in all parts of the country are competitive, and the

:11:57. > :11:59.best way to gauge economic prosperity is to make sure the

:12:00. > :12:04.businesses can compete, and clearly if you have one part of the company

:12:05. > :12:07.in charge of too much for wages, it sets a goal which other parts of the

:12:08. > :12:11.company can't manage. How would it help if public sector workers like

:12:12. > :12:15.teachers were paid less in the north and south? What part of that is

:12:16. > :12:22.fair? What is fair is to make sure that the economy works as a whole.

:12:23. > :12:26.We don't have a national cost of living. Costs of living vary across

:12:27. > :12:30.the country. Are you saying that because houses are cheaper to buy in

:12:31. > :12:34.the north, then if you are working there, you should not be paid as

:12:35. > :12:39.much money? We should not decide on local issues. What we have to get

:12:40. > :12:46.around is everybody paid according to productivity. If you are a

:12:47. > :12:48.hard`working teacher doing the same job in Kingston`upon`Hull as

:12:49. > :12:55.Kingston`upon`Thames, why should you be paid the same? `` shouldn't you.

:12:56. > :13:02.What we would like to see is the quality teachers get paid more. We

:13:03. > :13:05.have performance`related pay. Trade have a big disadvantage in

:13:06. > :13:09.nationalised pay bargaining. Unions That is why they exist. The unions

:13:10. > :13:14.say that because of pay freezes and pension contributions, Hull are

:13:15. > :13:18.facing a 60% wages cut by 2015. We will see if that comes about, but

:13:19. > :13:21.clearly what we have is the situation where in many parts of the

:13:22. > :13:24.country, people are paid better than their counterparts. We don't want

:13:25. > :13:29.that. We want a situation where people are able to compete on a

:13:30. > :13:32.level playing field. What would you say to those people, public sector

:13:33. > :13:37.workers watching the telly tonight, saying "his idea is cheap labour"?

:13:38. > :13:40.My idea is to have all parts of the country competitive, and those parts

:13:41. > :13:43.of the country that have difficulty attracting businesses or where

:13:44. > :13:46.businesses have not been thriving as much, we would like to see them

:13:47. > :13:50.being able to be more productive, and those mean people pay... I know

:13:51. > :13:55.you're not public sector, but if your job is move to Hull, would you

:13:56. > :13:59.be happy to take a pay cut? I would be happy to be paid what the going

:14:00. > :14:06.rate in Hull is. Thank you very much.

:14:07. > :14:10.And this is another story we'd like to hear your thoughts on. Should

:14:11. > :14:15.public sector wages in the north be cut as a way to attract more private

:14:16. > :14:24.businesses up here? You have heard the story. Your thoughts on this

:14:25. > :14:33.one. We will have some before we finish. Looked forward to hearing

:14:34. > :14:37.from you. Thank you for watching. Still ahead tonight: The local

:14:38. > :14:41.rivals fighting to stay in Rugby's Superleague.

:14:42. > :14:44.Swapping the boxing ring for the swimming pool ` Hull's Olympic Gold

:14:45. > :15:01.medallist makes a splash for Sport Relief. Keep your photos coming in.

:15:02. > :15:12.Tonight's was taken, a stunning picture. Another picture tomorrow

:15:13. > :15:22.night. Good evening. Have a nice weekend? Yes. Possibly the nicest

:15:23. > :15:28.shirt and tie combinations I have ever seen on television. This is not

:15:29. > :15:36.a send`up. It is a genuine e`mail. I have a there. J should have gone to

:15:37. > :15:41.Spec Savers. As he heard about the orange one? Unit did the other day.

:15:42. > :15:53.Let's have a look at the weather. Tomorrow, not too bad. A bit of

:15:54. > :15:57.sunshine between systems. This weather front will bring rain after

:15:58. > :16:00.midnight. This feature will bring some rain on Tuesday night. There

:16:01. > :16:07.will be more rain to come Wednesday afternoon. Very unsettled weak

:16:08. > :16:10.indeed. It is not being too bad today. We will see sunshine across

:16:11. > :16:14.Norfolk, eastern part of Lincolnshire. Here is the weather

:16:15. > :16:18.of. It will move across as for the course of tonight. It will stay dry

:16:19. > :16:23.this evening and during the first part of tonight. In the early hours

:16:24. > :16:26.of the morning, that rain will push north`eastwards. It would amount to

:16:27. > :16:33.a great deal, and in fact towards the end of the night, it will clear.

:16:34. > :16:40.Averages down to three Celsius. The sun will rise in the morning at

:16:41. > :16:47.7:43am. There is your next water times. There might be a bit of rain

:16:48. > :16:51.first things towards the coast clearing. Watch out for icy patches

:16:52. > :16:54.around dawn. Other than that, a generally decent day. Very low

:16:55. > :17:00.cloud. The risk of the odd shower with some sunny breaks in place. The

:17:01. > :17:04.race will pick up, especially in the afternoon and evening ahead of that

:17:05. > :17:07.next weather system pushing in from the south`west. These are very

:17:08. > :17:15.average temperatures for early February. You might the odd eight

:17:16. > :17:19.degrees out. It turns wet on Tuesday night, and Wednesday books really

:17:20. > :17:26.unsettled. Windy with showers. Bubba spells of rain at first. Thursday,

:17:27. > :17:29.not bad. One or two showers. Uncertainty for Friday, but at the

:17:30. > :17:39.moment, mostly dry. That is the forecast.

:17:40. > :17:44.One of the funniest men had no eyebrows, so you are in good

:17:45. > :17:46.company. Only with the eyebrows, not the comedy. Have a nice evening. See

:17:47. > :17:49.you tomorrow. Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill

:17:50. > :17:52.Hospital in Cottingham are coming under intense scrutiny this week as

:17:53. > :17:56.dozens of inspectors from the Care Quality Commission visit the trust.

:17:57. > :17:58.It's part of tough new measures designed to raise standards

:17:59. > :18:03.following a national review into hospital death rates. Our health

:18:04. > :18:07.correspondent, Vicky Johnson reports.

:18:08. > :18:10.The Care Quality Commission came in for fierce criticism last year

:18:11. > :18:16.following the Keogh review into high death rates. Two trusts in our area

:18:17. > :18:19.were among 11 exposed as failing. Since then, the inspection teams

:18:20. > :18:22.from the Care Quality Commission have been transformed from just

:18:23. > :18:28.three or four members to the 55`strong squad currently in Hull

:18:29. > :18:30.and East Yorkshire. The new director of hospitals, Professor Sir Mike

:18:31. > :18:38.Richards, has been spearheading the changes.

:18:39. > :18:44.We're acknowledging there have been problems in the past. I can tell you

:18:45. > :18:47.we have very different processes now, different management, and we're

:18:48. > :18:49.doing things differently. Previously, inspections would

:18:50. > :18:51.concentrate on different departments. Now it's the whole

:18:52. > :18:54.hospital, focusing particularly on eight key areas ` Accident and

:18:55. > :19:01.Emergency, Maternity, Acute, Medical and Surgery, Care for the Elderly,

:19:02. > :19:03.End of Life Care and Outpatients. Hospital managers say they're

:19:04. > :19:13.determined to learn as much as possible from this process. What we

:19:14. > :19:17.have said to the staff is that this is an opportunity to be absolutely

:19:18. > :19:21.honest, open and transparent about what we are proud of and what we are

:19:22. > :19:25.frustrated by, what we need to improve. We want that openness

:19:26. > :19:29.around this, so we will take whatever comes as the lessons we

:19:30. > :19:32.need to learn. Healthwatch, which aims to be the patients' champion,

:19:33. > :19:35.has already submitted more than 400 views to the inspection team. If

:19:36. > :19:44.comments from today's visitors are anything to go by ` these are likely

:19:45. > :19:51.to be very varied. I found it brilliant, the world that my mum is

:19:52. > :19:58.on. I think it is really good. I was 24 hours in the casualty, and there

:19:59. > :20:05.is 24 hours and assessment before I went into award. Fantastic. No

:20:06. > :20:08.problem at all. Once all the information has been collected and

:20:09. > :20:12.processed, the trust will be given a rating, a bit like Ofsted's

:20:13. > :20:16.judgement for schools. It will either be outstanding, good, needs

:20:17. > :20:22.improvement or inadequate. It will be at least two months before staff

:20:23. > :20:27.find out how they are doing. When we know, we will let you know. Thank

:20:28. > :20:33.you to everyone who got in touch. People who don't exercise up costing

:20:34. > :20:36.taxpayers because they don't look after their health. Researchers said

:20:37. > :20:40.Hull had in the highest level of lazy people in the UK. But

:20:41. > :20:53.surprisingly after Friday's programme, there was a big response.

:20:54. > :21:10.Just a few. Chloe says: I think we got your message there. Nick said:

:21:11. > :21:16.Michael says: Thank you very much for all of your comments.

:21:17. > :21:19.Hull City are just two points above the Premier League relegation zone

:21:20. > :21:23.following their draw against Spurs at the weekend. Shane Long scored

:21:24. > :21:26.the Tigers' first league goal of the year to give them an early lead. The

:21:27. > :21:28.game finished one`all, though, following a Spurs equaliser in the

:21:29. > :21:31.second half. Scunthorpe United are still second

:21:32. > :21:35.in League Two after their fourth draw in a row. Their game away at

:21:36. > :21:38.Hartlepool on Saturday saw the Iron's best chance come from a Paul

:21:39. > :21:41.Hayes near`miss. Sam Slocombe saved efforts from Luke Williams and Andy

:21:42. > :21:47.Monkhouse as the match ended goalless.

:21:48. > :21:51.Grimsby Town are a semifinal away from Wembley after beating Tamworth

:21:52. > :21:56.4`1 in the FA Trophy. North Ferriby United went out, though, losing 2`1

:21:57. > :21:59.at home to Gosport. And in the Conference Premier, Lincoln City

:22:00. > :22:04.beat Halifax by three goals to one at Sincil Bank.

:22:05. > :22:07.Officials from the Super League are promising a better competition than

:22:14. > :22:17.home to Catalan with Hull KR under way two days later against Leeds at

:22:18. > :22:22.Craven Park. This year sees big changes, including the

:22:23. > :22:24.reintroduction of relegation. This report from our sports reporter,

:22:30. > :22:34.They are the elite of rugby league. 14 teams, including two from Hull.

:22:35. > :22:38.At the end of the season, two sides will be relegated for the first time

:22:39. > :22:42.since 2007. Although teams are planning for the top in play`offs,

:22:43. > :22:48.the force of the dreaded drop is not far away. It will be an exciting

:22:49. > :22:52.season, especially from the fans' point of view. You don't want to be

:22:53. > :22:56.in that bottom section of the ladder, or anywhere near it, towards

:22:57. > :23:00.the back end of the year, so it does make every game important. Every

:23:01. > :23:07.point is important, which is something we need to address. There

:23:08. > :23:12.is a lot of pressure on. Every team needs to perform and perform their

:23:13. > :23:16.best. We're no exception. We expect to play well every week, and we

:23:17. > :23:19.expect to do well this season. This is how the changes work. Two teams

:23:20. > :23:22.are relegated this season. The play`off system alters in 2015.

:23:23. > :23:28.The magic weekend, where all teams play at the same venue, stays. The

:23:29. > :23:30.format is one that we have now endorsed, so we have to get on with

:23:31. > :23:39.it. It is one that can lead to exciting

:23:40. > :23:44.rugby at the end of the season, and if you're in the top eight, you will

:23:45. > :23:47.get those hard games at the end of the season. Fans will get a better

:23:48. > :23:50.quality of competition. It is the introduction of something that has

:23:51. > :23:54.been missing from the game. It will bring excitement to both ends of the

:23:55. > :23:59.game. As you say, every week and game will matter. This promises to

:24:00. > :24:05.be one of the most important seasons in the nine seasons since Super

:24:06. > :24:08.League started. There are 14 teams. Eight will make the play`offs. Two

:24:09. > :24:11.will be relegated. That should mean that every single game will have

:24:12. > :24:14.something riding on it. BBC Look North at the Super League launch in

:24:15. > :24:18.Manchester. Luke Campbell, the Gold medal winner

:24:19. > :24:21.from Hull, is asking people to get involved in this year's Sport

:24:22. > :24:24.Relief. Luke swapped the boxing ring for the swimming pool to encourage

:24:25. > :24:28.people to get fit and raise money for the charity, which helps people

:24:29. > :24:32.in the UK and abroad. Phillip Norton met him at Beverley Leisure Centre.

:24:33. > :24:36.It's time to get wet. Taking the plunge and putting his weight behind

:24:37. > :24:40.Sport Relief. Oi! Are those boxing gloves? Olympic gold medallist Luke

:24:41. > :24:46.Campbell boxing as you have never seen him box before. It's the

:24:47. > :24:50.first`time swimming with these on, you know, which is a little bit

:24:51. > :24:54.different. I don't usually pair the two together. You do get some

:24:55. > :24:59.professionals that do shadow`box underwater. It's great for speed and

:25:00. > :25:02.for your lungs, as well. Luke's just one of the country's top sports

:25:03. > :25:05.personalities backing next month's energetic fundraising event with the

:25:06. > :25:12.aim of getting people exercising and having fun. It's to get in the pool,

:25:13. > :25:16.get fit. I do my swimming twice a week in my training and it's a great

:25:17. > :25:20.all`round sport and it's good fun. It gets you fit, it gets you strong.

:25:21. > :25:23.Two years ago the biannual event raised more than ?60 million for

:25:24. > :25:28.good causes and this year's has already given lifeguard Nathan a

:25:29. > :25:33.smile. It doesn't happen every day, I turn up to work and see Luke there

:25:34. > :25:36.in his boxing gloves just in the pool. Not a regular occurrence here.

:25:37. > :25:40.He did really well, actually. I wouldn't like to swim in boxing

:25:41. > :25:44.gloves myself. I can imagine it will be a lot harder. We should include

:25:45. > :25:48.it in some of our training, really, make it a bit harder for us all.

:25:49. > :25:50.After his Olympic gold in London 2012, preparations are well under

:25:51. > :25:54.way for Luke's fifth professional fight against Scott Moises at the

:25:55. > :25:57.end of the month. But he's more than happy to squeeze Sport Relief in

:25:58. > :26:01.with his training. It's a great charity. As a sportsman myself, you

:26:02. > :26:08.know, I know what it can do for you. All you have got to do is get

:26:09. > :26:11.involved and help raise some money. A rallying call from the poolside.

:26:12. > :26:22.Hull's number one Olympian hopes his ringside fans will dive in and get

:26:23. > :26:25.involved. I like his headband. He also gets the pool to himself.

:26:26. > :26:29.If you need more information, Sport Relief is in March. There are

:26:30. > :26:32.details of how to get involved on the website, sportrelief.com. The

:26:33. > :26:37.time is 6:55pm. Let's get a recap of the national

:26:41. > :26:44.school day will help state schools be as good as private ones. After
