:00:00. > :00:00.into Friday morning and enhance the risk of flooding. That is all from
:00:00. > :00:16.us, Good evening and welcome to BBC Look
:00:17. > :00:19.North. The headlines tonight. A report into Hull's flooding two
:00:20. > :00:42.months on calls for better defences at the city's docks. This has shown
:00:43. > :00:44.us the vulnerability. I'm at Hull's tidal barrier which stopped
:00:45. > :01:01.thousands of properties from flooding. A teenager is found guilty
:01:02. > :01:05.of murdering his grandmother. This has been a horrible crime. Police
:01:06. > :01:08.praise for the one woman fight against anti`social behaviour. After
:01:09. > :01:26.her on`screen debut, we meet Scunthorpe's youngest TV star. A
:01:27. > :01:30.five`day forecast follows. It's two months since the highest tide in 60
:01:31. > :01:33.years bought flooding to large parts of Hull and tonight a report says
:01:34. > :01:44.the city needs a better flood warning system and better
:01:45. > :01:47.protection. More than 150 businesses were affected by the water and
:01:48. > :01:50.without the tidal barrier 19,000 homes would have been flooded.
:01:51. > :01:53.However even the barrier only just did its job, the report highlights
:01:54. > :01:56.how it came within 40 centimetres of being over`topped. Here's our
:01:57. > :01:59.correspondent, Paul Murphy. This is Hull's Albert Dock ` identified in
:02:00. > :02:02.today's report as the city's weak point during the tidal surge.
:02:03. > :02:04.The water which overtopped the defences here inundated hundreds of
:02:05. > :02:28.local businesses. Including this one which is still recovering. We look
:02:29. > :02:35.at the rest of the country. Something has to be done. The
:02:36. > :02:39.rapidly unfolding events of December the fifth were simply not predicted.
:02:40. > :02:43.The cost of it all is still being assessed. The report says Hull
:02:44. > :02:58.experienced its highest tides for at least 60 years. That damage was
:02:59. > :03:01.caused to 149 homes and 155 businesses in the Albert Dock area.
:03:02. > :03:20.But that Hull's tidal barrier prevented an estimated ?230 million
:03:21. > :03:23.of damage. There is a sense the city just escaped catastrophe. The
:03:24. > :03:25.Environment Agency and Hull City Council say there were already plans
:03:26. > :03:29.to defend this vulnerable Albert Dock area ` but they're being
:03:30. > :03:51.brought forward as a matter of urgency. We are looking at all
:03:52. > :03:53.defences for improvement to ensure all future events can be managed.
:03:54. > :03:55.The report urges greater co`operation and communication
:03:56. > :03:59.between all the authorities, a familiar theme in a city which is no
:04:00. > :04:03.stranger to the devastation of flooding. Paul Murphy, BBC Look
:04:04. > :04:06.North, Hull. Paul is live for us at the tidal barrier in Hull for us
:04:07. > :04:21.tonight. Paul, just how close did Hull come to a much more serious
:04:22. > :04:48.situation? Very close indeed. You get a sense of the city's
:04:49. > :04:52.vulnerability. They need to defend the city and inward investment. I'm
:04:53. > :05:21.joined now by Philip Winn from the Environment Agency. What have you
:05:22. > :05:50.learnt? This was the bigegst flood since 1953. We will learn a lot. We
:05:51. > :06:05.need to get warnings through quickly and we found levels on the coast
:06:06. > :06:50.were higher than indicated. Is long`term protection possible? A
:06:51. > :07:01.temporary solution is in place and we will work to put in a full
:07:02. > :07:22.scheme. The tide came close to the top but the barrier did a great job.
:07:23. > :07:26.I think we can do some of both town and country but people are our
:07:27. > :08:05.priority. We want to hear from you on this story. A teenager from Hull
:08:06. > :08:07.has been found guilty of murdering his grandmother and the attempted
:08:08. > :08:10.murder of his grandfather. 17`year`old Lewis Dale admitted the
:08:11. > :08:14.killing but claimed he was suffering the effects of taking the drug
:08:15. > :08:41.mephedrone. He was convicted by a jury at Hull Crown Court this
:08:42. > :08:45.afternoon. Emma Massey reports. Lewis Dale as he was found guilty on
:08:46. > :09:04.a ten to two majority. He admitted stabbing his grandparents. He denied
:09:05. > :09:43.murder. I thought it would be manslaughter. Humberside Police said
:09:44. > :09:58.today's verdict was right. There are no winners. I do not feel pleased
:09:59. > :10:00.and this has been a horrible crime. Council workers have held
:10:01. > :10:03.demonstrations in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire over salaries, which
:10:04. > :10:06.unions say, are below the living wage. Some councils, like City of
:10:07. > :10:10.Lincoln pay their staff the living wage which is ?7.45 an hour. But
:10:11. > :10:13.campaigners like these in Scunthorpe want local government workers to
:10:14. > :10:39.receive a ?1 ncrease to their hourly rate. 6000 people can affect
:10:40. > :10:42.spending and everybody benefits. And last night we were talking about
:10:43. > :10:46.calls for people working in the public sector in the North, to be
:10:47. > :10:49.paid less than those doing the same job in the South. Thank you for your
:10:50. > :10:55.responses... Neekie from Grimbsy says: "I moved to Grimsby from
:10:56. > :10:59.Portsmouth two years ago and I am doing the same job as a teaching
:11:00. > :11:03.assistant. I work six more hours a week for ?2000 less a year. I don't
:11:04. > :11:07.think it's fair. Chantelle e`mailed us to say: "What about people who
:11:08. > :11:11.want to move onto bigger and better things? I would like to earn enough
:11:12. > :11:14.to be able to move somewhere like London, but cutting our pay is going
:11:15. > :11:18.to make things a lot more difficult". Bunty has been in touch:
:11:19. > :11:21."It makes perfect sense to pay public sector workers less in areas
:11:22. > :11:27.of high unemployment. It would undoubtedly create jobs". Around 100
:11:28. > :11:34.people have been at a public inquiry being held about the Lincoln Eastern
:11:35. > :11:37.bypass. The aim of the scheme, which is due to get underway later this
:11:38. > :11:40.year, is to ease congestion. Highways and Planning officers have
:11:41. > :11:45.been hearing people's objections to parts of the planned road. The head
:11:46. > :11:49.of a group of six Lincolnshire schools has been suspended and is
:11:50. > :11:52.currently under investigation. Carol Clare is the Chief Executive of the
:11:53. > :11:56.Phoenix Family of Schools, which runs five academies in the Boston
:11:57. > :11:58.area. The organisation has confirmed that she's been suspended following
:11:59. > :12:15.an allegation from an anonymous source, which is currently under
:12:16. > :12:19.investigation. Pam Roddis was well`known in Bridlington. She'd
:12:20. > :12:27.holidayed in the town for one week every month for the past ten years.
:12:28. > :12:31.Four days later, Pam died of a brain haemorrhage. Police say the theft
:12:32. > :12:46.can't be linked to her death, but that the stress may have affected
:12:47. > :13:10.her health. She became close friends with Wendy Clarke. She liked to go
:13:11. > :13:32.down to the harbour and watch the world go by. A cyclist took her bag
:13:33. > :13:35.and mobile phone. Four days later, she died.This CCTV footage shows the
:13:36. > :14:07.cyclist they believe was responsible for stealing her bag.. I we can
:14:08. > :14:09.catch the male responsible it will help the grieving process. Pam's
:14:10. > :14:24.friends and family say the incident blighted her final days and it's
:14:25. > :14:27.important the suspect is caught. He spoiled the last few days of her
:14:28. > :14:40.life. Pam's friend, Wendy Clarke, ending that report by Tolu Adeoye.
:14:41. > :14:44.Still ahead tonight: Fighting the name change ` the fans who want to
:14:45. > :15:09.keep 'Hull City' put their case to the FA. We got to say what our
:15:10. > :15:12.members wanted. The MP for East Yorkshire is in the running for a
:15:13. > :15:16.very different parliamentary win. Sir Greg Knight's cat Tommy is on a
:15:17. > :15:20.short list to become Westminster Cat of the Year. The winner will be
:15:21. > :15:51.decided by a public vote and the result will be announced later this
:15:52. > :16:19.month. It's a moggy! Do you have a part in Open All Hours? Police have
:16:20. > :16:42.praised a Hull woman's campaign against anti social behaviour and
:16:43. > :17:03.drug use on a City Council estate. Mostly fine this evening but another
:17:04. > :17:16.wet night. Overnight rain will give way to a dry period but then more
:17:17. > :17:28.rain. Temperatures seven to eight Celsius. Thursday should be
:17:29. > :17:32.brighter. Ann Hodges has been displaying photos of used needles
:17:33. > :17:35.and blood stained walls in the block of flats she lives in off Holderness
:17:36. > :17:39.Road before Hull City Council asked her to take them down because they
:17:40. > :17:41.were too graphic. The police say it's important people report issues
:17:42. > :17:45.to them so they can investigate. Jessica Lane reports. Needles in the
:17:46. > :17:48.stairways, bloodstains on the walls. Look at this chart. Rain tonight
:17:49. > :17:52.with more rain on Thursday. These just some of the photos taken since
:17:53. > :17:55.last summer to try and give the Council and police evidence of how
:17:56. > :17:59.bad things are in the flats. We live here, the things you see on the
:18:00. > :18:35.pictures are happening here, it's not safe to send grandchildren to
:18:36. > :18:42.the chute room where we put rubbish. You don't know who or what is
:18:43. > :18:50.happening. Her neighbour Alice, who is in her 80s, says things have got
:18:51. > :18:54.worse in the last few months. When I've locked the door and bolted it,
:18:55. > :19:03.I just daren't answer it, you don't know who's going to be there. It's
:19:04. > :19:07.not the first time people have taken matters into their own hands. A few
:19:08. > :19:10.years ago, residents on a Scunthorpe estate got a steel fence built
:19:11. > :19:13.around their homes to protect them from crime and disorder. It's
:19:14. > :19:16.important people don't put themselves at risk, say police. But
:19:17. > :19:37.information passed on can help them to act. So they say Ann did the
:19:38. > :19:40.right thing, the right way. We have increased patrols and asked
:19:41. > :19:42.residents to provide information. Police say patrols have increased
:19:43. > :19:45.around Denaby Court recently in response to reports from residents
:19:46. > :19:48.and say they'll continue to work with the council to deal with
:19:49. > :20:05.criminal activity and even evict those who cause trouble. We want to
:20:06. > :20:09.hear from you on this story ` is it up to us to help the authorities
:20:10. > :20:23.track down people who commit crime and anti`social behaviour? A man who
:20:24. > :20:29.was arrested after armed police were called to a village in Lincolnshire
:20:30. > :20:32.has been charged with two offences. Mark Anthony Hall of Thomas Street
:20:33. > :20:35.in Sleaford was arrested in Ruskington yesterday for failing to

:20:43. > :20:49.fuel. Plans for a skate park in Lincoln are being opposed by
:20:50. > :20:52.campaigners. After a search taking years, the City of Lincoln Council
:20:53. > :20:57.says that land known as Hobblers Hole is the right location. But
:20:58. > :21:09.opponents of the proposed site argue that it's become a peaceful area for
:21:10. > :21:13.the whole community. It should remain that way. Two parents from
:21:14. > :21:26.Hull have described how they feared the worst for their baby who needed
:21:27. > :21:30.complex heart surgery. Julia was born with a hole in her heart, and
:21:31. > :21:33.needed to be transferred from Hull's Royal Infirmar 100 miles to a
:21:34. > :21:37.specialist unit. The medical teams who transferred her in a mobile
:21:38. > :21:40.intensive care unit are featured in a new BBC series this evening. And

:21:51. > :21:54.Football Association. Dr Allam has submitted a plan to change the name
:21:55. > :21:57.of the Premier League club to Hull Tigers. Fans' groups, including the
:21:58. > :22:00."City Till I Die" campaign, have been to Wembley Stadium explaining
:22:01. > :22:06.why they disagree with the alteration. Our sports reporter
:22:07. > :22:34.Simon Clark is here, what happened at this meeting? This document was
:22:35. > :22:56.presented with a video. The name change has caused a storm. We had a
:22:57. > :23:16.lengthy discussion in which members' views were put. When are we likely
:23:17. > :23:20.to hear about the FA's decision? Greg Dyke has not said so, sometime
:23:21. > :23:23.in April? And Grimsby Town will play Cambridge United in the semifinal of

:24:06. > :24:10.camera, no surprise for a little girl who made her TV debut as a
:24:11. > :24:28.newborn, thanks to a contact in the business. My friend has children in

:24:45. > :24:47.Here's Annabella as baby Peter, the newborn son of a woman in prison
:24:48. > :25:09.played by former Eastenders actress Lacey Turner. You can't have him!
:25:10. > :25:13.She was lovely and chatty. Like a professional she was paid for her
:25:14. > :25:29.work and needed just two takes, not letting the fame get to her. She
