And joining in. The headlines from us. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
The death of a rail worker ` claims safety procedures were ignored. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The question is, why were they there when they knew there were trains | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
still running on the other side of the track? | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
Parents are told their children should be in school ` even if they | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
have an infectious illness. If it is contagious, the child should be kept | :00:34. | :00:38. | |

A rail worker who was hit by a train in Saxilby near Lincoln died as a | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
result of a string of broken and ignored safety procedures. That was | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
the finding of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch report into the | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
death of 26`year`old Scott Dobson, who was killed in December 2012. It | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
adds to concerns about the lack of safety precautions for thousands of | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
casual rail workers. Paul Murphy reports. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
This is an industry which, by its very nature, is hazardous. But is | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
safety taken seriously enough? It is December 2012, early in the | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
afternoon on a railway line in Lincolnshire. The gang of workers | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
are repairing the track. One of the workers steps back just as a train | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
is passing. He doesn't survive. Network Rail called the death of | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Scott Dobson a watershed moment, and promised new safety rules. Scott had | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
been hired that day by an agency. Many in the industry say safety is | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
compromised by the use of such casual staff. We have spoken to | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
track workers who have done casual shifts for renewables companies | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
across the North of England. They tell us bad safety practices are | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
widespread. I worked with one client for a year because I wouldn't do | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
work that wasn't safe. More than a year on, Scott's family still has | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
questions about the safety of the gang on that day at Saxilby. Why | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
were they there when they knew that somebody would have been in danger? | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
80,000 people are registered to work on railways. Only a quarter of them | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
are Network Rail staff. Scott Dobson's death has forced the | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
company to rethink the way they manage this workforce. We will no | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
longer accept employees to be employed by agencies. They will only | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
be employed by Network Rail. We need to make sure this is the last | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
fatality, and we will make sure any changes are made to reverse those | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
risks. Scott had been hired that day by a recruitment company called | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
sky`blue, a subsidiary of the engineering giant Carillion. They | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
tell us they are unable to comment on specific questions or issues | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
related to Scott's death until after an inquest and further enquiry. They | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
do however say that they go to great lengths to ensure they workforce can | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
raise safety concerns, and that these will be acted upon. Since the | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
incident, they say, they have gone beyond industry standards to put in | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
place new safety procedures. Network Rail has said that by September, | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
many of its new safety reforms will be in place ` too late for Scott's | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
family, but aimed at preventing a repeat of the terrible events which | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
took his life. Paul's out on the rail network this | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
evening. Do you think there will be genuine safety improvements as a | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
result of Scott Dobson's death? I think it is fair to say that a year | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
run, there is still concern about safety, particularly from the rail | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
unions, who believe this is a proliferation of casual staff and | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
evolved chain of responsibility down the supply chain to subcontractors | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
is bad for rail safety. Network rail, which runs this rail and rails | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
all ran the country, says that his death was a watershed moment. The | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
big lessons have been learned. It is implementing safety changes which | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
come into effect in September. This will make the railway is a much | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
safer place to work, and prevent a repeat of the tragedy of December of | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
last year. Thank you very much. And this story is covered in more detail | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
on tonight's Inside Out for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. You can | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
hear from the union and others who've carried out track work on the | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
railways. In a moment: The hospitals under | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
scrutiny as inspectors drive to raise standards. Parents in east | :05:16. | :05:29. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are being told their children could still | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
attend school even if they have an infectious illness. Conjunctivitis, | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
tonsillitis, and hand, foot and mouth are classed as minor ailments | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
in a leaflet being made available to schools across East Yorkshire. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
They can't be happy and healthy all of the time, but on the days when | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
they are sick, should they be here? In Yorkshire, parents have been | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
given this leaflet to help them make this decision. In the list of | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
reasons to not keep your child off school, are contagious diseases like | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
conjunctivitis, and, foot and mouth disease, and tonsillitis. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
Conjunctivitis is very contagious, particularly the viral forms. If you | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
get an outbreak of that in a school, it is nasty. It lasts for ten days. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
In secondary schools in England, 55% of authorised absences were due to | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
illness. In the East Riding, that figure was 60%. It is the second | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
highest in the country. The local authority says it is acting on | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
advice from both the government and the NHS. The decision about your | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
sending a charter school remains with the parents. We're not saying | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
anything other than that. Parents should use their judgement and | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
common sense because parents know their children best. We hope to do | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
here is help them make a good decision. To want a child with | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
tonsillitis in your classroom? We have a duty of care to our staff and | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
children at the school. We have a balancing act to do. We wait | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
children to maximise their time in school, but we don't want them when | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
they are infectious. A bit of common sense, liaising with the local | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
general practitioners as to whether it is appropriate for the child to | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
be in school. I think they are best off at home. If they stay at home, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
you need it in the bad and that is the end of it. If it is contagious, | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
they should stay off to keep it spreading. If they can keep going, | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
it is best to do that. It may just be a day off here and there, but | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
they do end up missing school. It can affect academic achievement. The | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
local authority hope these local guidelines will help people think | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
twice before keeping their child off school. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
What do you think of this story? If your child had conjunctivitis, | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
tonsillitis or hand, foot and mouth disease, would you automatically | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
keep them away from the classroom? Should they be at school or not? | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Here's the e`mail. Some more news now. | :08:09. | :08:21. | |
A 33`year`old man has been arrested after armed police cordoned off a | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
Lincolnshire village. Officers were called to a flat in Ruskington this | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
morning after a report that there was an armed man inside. The | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
stand`off ended when a trained negotiator persuaded the suspect to | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
come out peacefully. Police say the man was on his own and that no`one | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
else was at risk. Lincolnshire Police is joining four | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
other forces in the East Midlands to work more closely. Traffic policing, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
armed response and dog sections will each work as single regional teams. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Chief constables say it will increase the number of available | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
officers and save money. Some Yorkshire Ambulance staff are | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
coming to the end of a four`hour strike. The Unite Union, which | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
organised a 24`hour walk`out on Saturday ` says new shifts could | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
mean paramedics working ten hours without a meal break. The Ambulance | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Service says it's had contingency plans in place. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
There are calls for people working in the public sector in Lincolnshire | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
and East Yorkshire to be paid less than those doing the same job in the | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
South. The Institute of Directors says it's 'crazy' to have equal pay | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
in London and places like Hull and Lincoln. They claim it discourages | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
businesses from coming to the north because they can't compete with pay | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
rates in the public sector. More from the Institute of Directors in a | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
moment, but first, Kate Sweeting has been finding out what people living | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
here think of the idea. Debates about the north/south divide | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
are nothing new, but now a group which represents business leaders | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
says a divide exists, and wages should reflect that. It's a view | :09:54. | :10:04. | |
which has angered unions here. Fuel prices have not fallen in the North | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
compared to the south. It is the politics of divide and conquer. It | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
is about making sure our working people have dignified lives and are | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
able to go out and provide for their families and have good opportunities | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
in life. And people in Hull agree paying people less in the north | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
wouldn't be fair. People work just as hard in the North as they do in | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
the south. It should be just a sequel. Do the same work, get the | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
same pay. It should be based on your job, not where you live. That it's | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
cheaper to live here. Yes. Is it really any cheaper living here than | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
in the South? A pint of milk will cost the same wherever you live. As | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
all filling up your car or even buying a car. The difference comes | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
to when you buy a house. The average cost of a house in the south is | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
twice as expensive as it is in the north. And for some, the lower cost | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
of living is a big attraction. Sebastian Musil is moving his energy | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
investment business from the south to Hull. If I can pay people less, | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
it is better for them to be in a job that they are qualified rather then | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
being an employed or working in a job that maybe they have to do just | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
to earn money. So while some say a pay divide could create jobs in the | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
north, workers here may take some convincing. This came from the | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
Institute of directors. I spoke to their chief economist. I put it to | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
him if we reduce wages in the north, those people will have less money to | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
spend, affecting the economy. The biggest thing is we have to make | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
sure that businesses in all parts of the country are competitive, and the | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
best way to gauge economic prosperity is to make sure the | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
businesses can compete, and clearly if you have one part of the company | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
in charge of too much for wages, it sets a goal which other parts of the | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
company can't manage. How would it help if public sector workers like | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
teachers were paid less in the north and south? What part of that is | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
fair? What is fair is to make sure that the economy works as a whole. | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
We don't have a national cost of living. Costs of living vary across | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
the country. Are you saying that because houses are cheaper to buy in | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
the north, then if you are working there, you should not be paid as | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
much money? We should not decide on local issues. What we have to get | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
around is everybody paid according to productivity. If you are a | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
hard`working teacher doing the same job in Kingston`upon`Hull as | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
Kingston`upon`Thames, why should you be paid the same? `` shouldn't you. | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
What we would like to see is the quality teachers get paid more. We | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
have performance`related pay. Trade have a big disadvantage in | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
nationalised pay bargaining. Unions That is why they exist. The unions | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
say that because of pay freezes and pension contributions, Hull are | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
facing a 60% wages cut by 2015. We will see if that comes about, but | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
clearly what we have is the situation where in many parts of the | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
country, people are paid better than their counterparts. We don't want | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
that. We want a situation where people are able to compete on a | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
level playing field. What would you say to those people, public sector | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
workers watching the telly tonight, saying "his idea is cheap labour"? | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
My idea is to have all parts of the country competitive, and those parts | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
of the country that have difficulty attracting businesses or where | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
businesses have not been thriving as much, we would like to see them | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
being able to be more productive, and those mean people pay... I know | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
you're not public sector, but if your job is move to Hull, would you | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
be happy to take a pay cut? I would be happy to be paid what the going | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
rate in Hull is. Thank you very much. | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
And this is another story we'd like to hear your thoughts on. Should | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
public sector wages in the north be cut as a way to attract more private | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
businesses up here? You have heard the story. Your thoughts on this | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
one. We will have some before we finish. Looked forward to hearing | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
from you. Thank you for watching. Still ahead tonight: The local | :14:34. | :14:37. | |

Tonight's was taken, a stunning picture. Another picture tomorrow | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
night. Good evening. Have a nice weekend? Yes. Possibly the nicest | :15:13. | :15:22. | |
shirt and tie combinations I have ever seen on television. This is not | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
a send`up. It is a genuine e`mail. I have a there. J should have gone to | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
Spec Savers. As he heard about the orange one? Unit did the other day. | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
Let's have a look at the weather. Tomorrow, not too bad. A bit of | :15:42. | :15:53. | |
sunshine between systems. This weather front will bring rain after | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
midnight. This feature will bring some rain on Tuesday night. There | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
will be more rain to come Wednesday afternoon. Very unsettled weak | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
indeed. It is not being too bad today. We will see sunshine across | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
Norfolk, eastern part of Lincolnshire. Here is the weather | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
of. It will move across as for the course of tonight. It will stay dry | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
this evening and during the first part of tonight. In the early hours | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
of the morning, that rain will push north`eastwards. It would amount to | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
a great deal, and in fact towards the end of the night, it will clear. | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
Averages down to three Celsius. The sun will rise in the morning at | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
7:43am. There is your next water times. There might be a bit of rain | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
first things towards the coast clearing. Watch out for icy patches | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
around dawn. Other than that, a generally decent day. Very low | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
cloud. The risk of the odd shower with some sunny breaks in place. The | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
race will pick up, especially in the afternoon and evening ahead of that | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
next weather system pushing in from the south`west. These are very | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
average temperatures for early February. You might the odd eight | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
degrees out. It turns wet on Tuesday night, and Wednesday books really | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
unsettled. Windy with showers. Bubba spells of rain at first. Thursday, | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
not bad. One or two showers. Uncertainty for Friday, but at the | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
moment, mostly dry. That is the forecast. | :17:30. | :17:39. | |
One of the funniest men had no eyebrows, so you are in good | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
company. Only with the eyebrows, not the comedy. Have a nice evening. See | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
you tomorrow. Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Hospital in Cottingham are coming under intense scrutiny this week as | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
dozens of inspectors from the Care Quality Commission visit the trust. | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
It's part of tough new measures designed to raise standards | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
following a national review into hospital death rates. Our health | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
correspondent, Vicky Johnson reports. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
The Care Quality Commission came in for fierce criticism last year | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
following the Keogh review into high death rates. Two trusts in our area | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
were among 11 exposed as failing. Since then, the inspection teams | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
from the Care Quality Commission have been transformed from just | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
three or four members to the 55`strong squad currently in Hull | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
and East Yorkshire. The new director of hospitals, Professor Sir Mike | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
Richards, has been spearheading the changes. | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
We're acknowledging there have been problems in the past. I can tell you | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
we have very different processes now, different management, and we're | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
doing things differently. Previously, inspections would | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
concentrate on different departments. Now it's the whole | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
hospital, focusing particularly on eight key areas ` Accident and | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Emergency, Maternity, Acute, Medical and Surgery, Care for the Elderly, | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
End of Life Care and Outpatients. Hospital managers say they're | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
determined to learn as much as possible from this process. What we | :19:04. | :19:13. | |
have said to the staff is that this is an opportunity to be absolutely | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
honest, open and transparent about what we are proud of and what we are | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
frustrated by, what we need to improve. We want that openness | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
around this, so we will take whatever comes as the lessons we | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
need to learn. Healthwatch, which aims to be the patients' champion, | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
has already submitted more than 400 views to the inspection team. If | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
comments from today's visitors are anything to go by ` these are likely | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
to be very varied. I found it brilliant, the world that my mum is | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
on. I think it is really good. I was 24 hours in the casualty, and there | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
is 24 hours and assessment before I went into award. Fantastic. No | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
problem at all. Once all the information has been collected and | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
processed, the trust will be given a rating, a bit like Ofsted's | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
judgement for schools. It will either be outstanding, good, needs | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
improvement or inadequate. It will be at least two months before staff | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
find out how they are doing. When we know, we will let you know. Thank | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
you to everyone who got in touch. People who don't exercise up costing | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
taxpayers because they don't look after their health. Researchers said | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Hull had in the highest level of lazy people in the UK. But | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
surprisingly after Friday's programme, there was a big response. | :20:41. | :20:53. | |
Just a few. Chloe says: I think we got your message there. Nick said: | :20:54. | :21:10. | |
Michael says: Thank you very much for all of your comments. | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
Hull City are just two points above the Premier League relegation zone | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
following their draw against Spurs at the weekend. Shane Long scored | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
the Tigers' first league goal of the year to give them an early lead. The | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
game finished one`all, though, following a Spurs equaliser in the | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
second half. Scunthorpe United are still second | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
in League Two after their fourth draw in a row. Their game away at | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
Hartlepool on Saturday saw the Iron's best chance come from a Paul | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
Hayes near`miss. Sam Slocombe saved efforts from Luke Williams and Andy | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Monkhouse as the match ended goalless. | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Grimsby Town are a semifinal away from Wembley after beating Tamworth | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
4`1 in the FA Trophy. North Ferriby United went out, though, losing 2`1 | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
at home to Gosport. And in the Conference Premier, Lincoln City | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
beat Halifax by three goals to one at Sincil Bank. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
Officials from the Super League are promising a better competition than | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
ever when the season gets under way a week on Friday. Hull FC are at | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
home to Catalan with Hull KR under way two days later against Leeds at | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
Craven Park. This year sees big changes, including the | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
reintroduction of relegation. This report from our sports reporter, | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
Simon Clark, contains some flash photography. | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
They are the elite of rugby league. 14 teams, including two from Hull. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
At the end of the season, two sides will be relegated for the first time | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
since 2007. Although teams are planning for the top in play`offs, | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
the force of the dreaded drop is not far away. It will be an exciting | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
season, especially from the fans' point of view. You don't want to be | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
in that bottom section of the ladder, or anywhere near it, towards | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
the back end of the year, so it does make every game important. Every | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
point is important, which is something we need to address. There | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
is a lot of pressure on. Every team needs to perform and perform their | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
best. We're no exception. We expect to play well every week, and we | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
expect to do well this season. This is how the changes work. Two teams | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
are relegated this season. The play`off system alters in 2015. | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
The magic weekend, where all teams play at the same venue, stays. The | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
format is one that we have now endorsed, so we have to get on with | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
it. It is one that can lead to exciting | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
rugby at the end of the season, and if you're in the top eight, you will | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
get those hard games at the end of the season. Fans will get a better | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
quality of competition. It is the introduction of something that has | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
been missing from the game. It will bring excitement to both ends of the | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
game. As you say, every week and game will matter. This promises to | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
be one of the most important seasons in the nine seasons since Super | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
League started. There are 14 teams. Eight will make the play`offs. Two | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
will be relegated. That should mean that every single game will have | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
something riding on it. BBC Look North at the Super League launch in | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
Manchester. Luke Campbell, the Gold medal winner | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
from Hull, is asking people to get involved in this year's Sport | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
Relief. Luke swapped the boxing ring for the swimming pool to encourage | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
people to get fit and raise money for the charity, which helps people | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
in the UK and abroad. Phillip Norton met him at Beverley Leisure Centre. | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
It's time to get wet. Taking the plunge and putting his weight behind | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
Sport Relief. Oi! Are those boxing gloves? Olympic gold medallist Luke | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
Campbell boxing as you have never seen him box before. It's the | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
first`time swimming with these on, you know, which is a little bit | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
different. I don't usually pair the two together. You do get some | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
professionals that do shadow`box underwater. It's great for speed and | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
for your lungs, as well. Luke's just one of the country's top sports | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
personalities backing next month's energetic fundraising event with the | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
aim of getting people exercising and having fun. It's to get in the pool, | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
get fit. I do my swimming twice a week in my training and it's a great | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
all`round sport and it's good fun. It gets you fit, it gets you strong. | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Two years ago the biannual event raised more than ?60 million for | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
good causes and this year's has already given lifeguard Nathan a | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
smile. It doesn't happen every day, I turn up to work and see Luke there | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
in his boxing gloves just in the pool. Not a regular occurrence here. | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
He did really well, actually. I wouldn't like to swim in boxing | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
gloves myself. I can imagine it will be a lot harder. We should include | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
it in some of our training, really, make it a bit harder for us all. | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
After his Olympic gold in London 2012, preparations are well under | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
way for Luke's fifth professional fight against Scott Moises at the | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
end of the month. But he's more than happy to squeeze Sport Relief in | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
with his training. It's a great charity. As a sportsman myself, you | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
know, I know what it can do for you. All you have got to do is get | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
involved and help raise some money. A rallying call from the poolside. | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
Hull's number one Olympian hopes his ringside fans will dive in and get | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
involved. I like his headband. He also gets the pool to himself. | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
If you need more information, Sport Relief is in March. There are | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
details of how to get involved on the website, sportrelief.com. The | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
time is 6:55pm. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
and regional headlines. Education Secretary Michael Gove says a longer | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
school day will help state schools be as good as private ones. After | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
the death of a row worker in Lincolnshire, safety procedures are | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
Tomorrow's weather ` a grey, damp start in places. | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
Claimed to be ignored. Otherwise, generally dry and bright with some | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
sunny spells. Just a small risk of a shower. Top temperature seven | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
degrees. We were talking about public sector | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
pay a few minutes ago. Graham has tweeted: | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
He says that we need less money. Dave has texted to save the wage | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
difference between the north and south is already present. Matt says | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
I am sick of the North and South divide. It is ridiculous. I vote for | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
northern independence. Steve says teachers have had an inner and outer | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
London rate for years. Those men are already paid less than those are the | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
same job. That is it from us tonight. Join me if you can tomorrow | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
on the radio. Have a good evening. See you tomorrow night. | :27:43. | :27:58. | |
Why are you staring at me? Just wonder how things grow and grow | :27:59. | :27:59. | |
Why are you staring at me? Just wonder how things grow and grow | :28:00. | :28:08. | |
Yeah, well, mummies and daddies do argue sometimes. | :28:09. | :28:12. |
