:00:00. > :00:09.six. It Good evening and welcome to BBC Look
:00:10. > :00:13.North. The headlines tonight: Faster journey times ` MPs say a major rail
:00:14. > :00:21.line in East Yorkshire will be electrified. They assured us that
:00:22. > :00:25.the line would be electrified. Poor exam results ` now an academy
:00:26. > :00:32.school in Lincolnshire is to be handed back to the government. I
:00:33. > :00:36.think this will create a huge amount of instability in the community and
:00:37. > :00:39.a great deal of concern about whether or not their children are
:00:40. > :00:43.getting the education they deserve. A deal is signed for RAF Scampton
:00:44. > :00:46.that could bring jobs and hundreds of thousands of visitors.
:00:47. > :00:53.A game away from Wembley ` Hull City are through to the FA Cup quarter
:00:54. > :00:57.finals. And it has been another mile day,
:00:58. > :01:08.temperatures in double figures. Join me for that, coming up shortly.
:01:09. > :01:13.Good evening. The government is backing plans to upgrade the railway
:01:14. > :01:16.line through East Yorkshire to Hull to allow faster, more reliable
:01:17. > :01:19.electric trains on the route. A group of business leaders and
:01:20. > :01:22.politicians met with the transport secretary in London today to put the
:01:23. > :01:26.case forward. Now that the backing of ministers has been secured it is
:01:27. > :01:32.seen as vital that work starts next year so it can be finished by 2017
:01:33. > :01:37.when Hull becomes City of Culture. Emma Massey reports.
:01:38. > :01:41.They're noisy, inefficient and slow. All the trains which service Hull
:01:42. > :01:43.are diesel. In comparison, the rail industry says electrification is
:01:44. > :01:50.cleaner and greener but, most importantly, faster. That's why this
:01:51. > :01:52.delegation is pushing for electrification and today went to
:01:53. > :02:02.see the Transport Minister Patrick McLoughlin. He assured us that the
:02:03. > :02:06.line would be electrified, that there is an unanswerable case both
:02:07. > :02:13.in terms of cross Pennine, as well as from Hull to London. So that will
:02:14. > :02:16.happen. What we are seeing is it needs to happen now, it needs to be
:02:17. > :02:23.approved this year so work can commence next year, and it can be
:02:24. > :02:26.finished by 2017. We have got a bankrupt economy and the Humber
:02:27. > :02:31.area. We have got a lot happening in the next three or four years, we
:02:32. > :02:37.want rail to be a part of that, we want as many people in the region as
:02:38. > :02:40.possible. Work is underway to electrified the trans`Pennine route.
:02:41. > :02:43.From Liverpool to Manchester to Leeds. But with no plans to go
:02:44. > :02:46.further than Selby ` today's proposal from first hull trains
:02:47. > :02:50.would see overheard line equipment added to the route between there and
:02:51. > :02:53.Hull opening the city up to the rest of the UK's high`speed network. It
:02:54. > :02:58.would be very ambitious and perhaps unlikely for the work to be ready in
:02:59. > :03:03.time for 2017. The year that how a city of culture. `` Hull is city of
:03:04. > :03:08.culture. But those behind The City of Culture
:03:09. > :03:10.say that needs to be the aim. We anticipate something like an
:03:11. > :03:15.additional 12 million visitors to the city. Good, 21st`century,
:03:16. > :03:21.efficient rail links are an urgent necessity. We need them, we need
:03:22. > :03:23.them by the end of 2016 to be up and running. Rail passengers who
:03:24. > :03:26.regularly use services out of Hull say they feel left behind but are
:03:27. > :03:30.concerned about the potential disruption. I think it is
:03:31. > :03:32.outrageous. I think it would make a tremendous difference to the
:03:33. > :03:35.regeneration of the region if they could improve the travelling
:03:36. > :03:42.infrastructure of roads and railways. Very behind with things,
:03:43. > :03:45.obviously. Trains need to be faster, the railway network needs to be
:03:46. > :03:47.better at this end. And it's promised there'll be minimal
:03:48. > :03:52.disruption to current services when the work goes ahead.
:03:53. > :03:56.Emma is live in Hull tonight. There is a lot of support for these plans,
:03:57. > :04:00.why is it so crucial the work is finished by 2017?
:04:01. > :04:05.Well, Peter, there are two main ways to get into Hull, by rail and by
:04:06. > :04:08.this road, the A63. It is very busy. The Transport Secretary Patrick
:04:09. > :04:13.McLaughlin came here last year and was told an upgrade of the A63 was
:04:14. > :04:21.vital for economic growth. Since then a ?160 million upgrade has been
:04:22. > :04:29.given the go ahead. But that will not happen until 2017, which is the
:04:30. > :04:32.year Hull becomes City of Culture. So getting these overhead lines is
:04:33. > :04:35.more important than ever. Those behind it say that faster rail
:04:36. > :04:39.journeys could be only way to ensure easy travel into the city, which is
:04:40. > :04:42.to attract more visitors. Patrick McLoughlin has told Look North he
:04:43. > :04:47.had a constructive meeting without local MPS and councillors today. ``
:04:48. > :04:50.with local MPs and councillors today. He says his officials are now
:04:51. > :04:54.working with the operator and wider industry to explore the possibility
:04:55. > :04:59.of a more detailed study into the scheme. Thank you very much indeed.
:05:00. > :05:02.Some good news, we will continue to follow that story.
:05:03. > :05:05.In a moment: Our World War One At Home series continues, with a
:05:06. > :05:13.special look at the battalion known as the Grimsby Chums.
:05:14. > :05:17.Control of a Lincolnshire school could be removed from the Academy
:05:18. > :05:20.chain that runs it after serious concerns were raised over its
:05:21. > :05:24.education standards. Ofsted inspectors say only 36% of pupils at
:05:25. > :05:27.the Trent Valley Academy in Gainsborough got five good GCSEs
:05:28. > :05:32.there last year, well below the national average. Now E`Act, the
:05:33. > :05:35.academy chain that runs it, is being urged by the government to hand over
:05:36. > :05:46.control of Trent Valley and nine others across the country. Sarah
:05:47. > :05:50.Corker has this report. They are flagship government policy,
:05:51. > :05:54.academies publicly funded but outside of local council control.
:05:55. > :05:58.One of the country's biggest Academy chains is to be stripped of control
:05:59. > :06:03.of ten schools because of poor performance. One of them is Trent
:06:04. > :06:07.Valley Academy in Gainsborough. Something of a surprise to some
:06:08. > :06:12.parents here. It is quite shocking. Just wondering what is going to...
:06:13. > :06:19.How it is going to affect every child. Haven't had any concerns with
:06:20. > :06:25.my granddaughter at all. It is up and down all the time. As a year
:06:26. > :06:30.seven, he has had to put up with a lot of things. E`Act today said its
:06:31. > :06:34.pupils, parents and staff deserve strong support and leadership. It
:06:35. > :06:38.will now focus on where that can be provided. That focus will not be
:06:39. > :06:46.here. Educational standards have been so low the Academy must now
:06:47. > :06:49.find a new sponsor. Schools are not being run properly. There are
:06:50. > :06:52.questions about the bodies, the trusts that are running the schools.
:06:53. > :06:58.There has been a previous investigation into E`Act. The
:06:59. > :07:04.Academy was rated inadequate by Ofsted last year. Only 36% of
:07:05. > :07:07.students achieved five good GCSEs, significantly below the national
:07:08. > :07:12.average. Attendance is also below the average. Across east Yorkshire
:07:13. > :07:18.and Lincolnshire, seven academies are among the 100 worst performing
:07:19. > :07:22.schools in the country for GCSEs. Today, the Education Secretary said
:07:23. > :07:27.it was vital Academy chains be held to account. We need to make sure
:07:28. > :07:36.that when underperformance shows, we take the action required in order to
:07:37. > :07:38.improve education. This man is a Lincolnshire County Council and
:07:39. > :07:43.taught at the Academy until he was made redundant. It is utterly
:07:44. > :07:47.unacceptable, and the community of Gainsborough will be upset about
:07:48. > :07:53.that. It has had a negative effect on the standards of education in our
:07:54. > :07:59.area. Pupils and parents have been reassured that standards are
:08:00. > :08:03.improving. I spoke to Alistair Smith from the
:08:04. > :08:08.anti`academies Alliance, and asked why his group is so against
:08:09. > :08:14.academies. We are not against academies per se, we are against
:08:15. > :08:24.Academy chains. There are real aim is to make profits out of education.
:08:25. > :08:30.`` their real aim. Shouldn't we welcome a dressing underperformance?
:08:31. > :08:33.I am very concerned that the Department of Education has had to
:08:34. > :08:38.take ten schools of the chain. Having not had their eye on this
:08:39. > :08:43.problem already? It beggars belief that a chain with 40 schools,
:08:44. > :08:49.suddenly ten of them are found to be wanting and the chain cannot cope
:08:50. > :08:53.with it. This is good for E`Act, they can focus on raising standards
:08:54. > :08:58.in the remaining academies? Then the education doesn't suffer? It may be
:08:59. > :09:04.good in that sense, but E`Act have too many schools and they cannot
:09:05. > :09:06.cope. But are they good enough? We were told that Academy chains would
:09:07. > :09:14.run schools better than local authorities. This has now been
:09:15. > :09:16.disproved. There are plenty of poor performing schools and local
:09:17. > :09:21.authorities plodding on without the luxury of someone knew coming into
:09:22. > :09:23.back then? There are schools and local authorities that have been
:09:24. > :09:28.failing, but local authorities do not walk away. They are
:09:29. > :09:31.democratically accountable, and when a school goes into special measures
:09:32. > :09:37.the local authority has decided out. Academy chains just drop their hands
:09:38. > :09:41.and walk away. `` throw up their hands and walk away. We will have
:09:42. > :09:47.hundreds of schools down the road who will not have anybody to help
:09:48. > :09:52.them. Thank you very much indeed. We would like to know what you think
:09:53. > :09:56.about this one. Maybe you go to an academy, or your child does. Your
:09:57. > :10:03.thoughts on this one, if you want to be in touch, the e`mail address:
:10:04. > :10:11.Follow me on Twitter, if you want to tweet. And also the text number.

:10:50. > :10:53.the matter. Lots of things are very difficult to police. The current
:10:54. > :10:59.proposal to ban smoking in cars, where there is a child, is almost
:11:00. > :11:03.impossible to police. That is not necessarily a reason not to
:11:04. > :11:08.introduce it. We want the police to use discretion in this, and use it
:11:09. > :11:12.as a tool in the box. If you're taking a bottle of wine in a picnic
:11:13. > :11:18.basket down to the local park, fine. If you're taking 48 cans of beer to

:12:45. > :12:47.anywhere in the country and now a new heritage centre at Scampton has
:12:48. > :12:50.moved a step closer today. The Royal Air Force Museum near London and
:12:51. > :12:54.Lincolnshire County Council have signed a deal which will see them
:12:55. > :12:59.work together to build the visitor attraction. If it goes ahead it
:13:00. > :13:05.could create 100 jobs, and bring 200,000 tourists a year to the
:13:06. > :13:13.county. Jake Zuckerman has been to the RAF museum and sent this report.
:13:14. > :13:19.With exhibits spanning the history of flight, the RAF Museum in North
:13:20. > :13:22.London is a mecca for aviation enthusiasts. And today's visitors
:13:23. > :13:27.included a group from Lincolnshire County Council here to sign a
:13:28. > :13:33.cooperation agreement. It is the first step in a process that could
:13:34. > :13:38.transform RAF Scampton, the Red Arrows' Lincolnshire base, into a
:13:39. > :13:42.major tourist destination with a multi`million pound heritage centre
:13:43. > :13:47.looking something like this. I think it could be hugely important. In
:13:48. > :13:50.2018 it is the 100th anniversary of the RAF, we are determined
:13:51. > :13:54.Lincolnshire plays a central part in the celebration. And we believe that
:13:55. > :13:58.alongside the castle and the Cathedral, we will then have three
:13:59. > :14:03.world`class attractions that will bring people from all over the world
:14:04. > :14:07.to Lincolnshire. That is all still a long way off, today's agreement is
:14:08. > :14:12.about building the links that will allow Lincolnshire County Council
:14:13. > :14:16.to: The expertise of the RAF Museum. We are very keen to loan or
:14:17. > :14:18.artefacts, we have a significant amount of aircraft, but it is
:14:19. > :14:23.important that we allow everyone across the country to share in those
:14:24. > :14:32.stories. If we are able to loan aircraft, we already loan is craft
:14:33. > :14:34.`` artefacts to Scampton. Aviation tourism is already worth more than
:14:35. > :14:40.?4 million a year to Lincolnshire's economy. Attracting thousands of
:14:41. > :14:44.visitors. The county council estimates that a visitor centre at
:14:45. > :14:49.Scampton could add another 200,000 visitors to that number. With dozens
:14:50. > :14:54.of historic aircraft on display, the RAF Museum attracts millions of
:14:55. > :14:58.visitors a year, putting it in a unique position to be able to help
:14:59. > :15:06.Lincolnshire achieve its own ambitions. Great news, let's hope we
:15:07. > :15:10.get the centre at Scampton. Thank you for watching this Tuesday night.
:15:11. > :15:15.Still ahead tonight: Closing in on Wembley ` Hull City are through to

:15:34. > :15:36.Keep your pictures coming in. Thank you very much indeed for this one,
:15:37. > :15:39.another picture tomorrow night around about the same time.
:15:40. > :15:42.We've made the news ourselves today, If you were watching Look North
:15:43. > :15:46.yesterday lunchtime you might have seen this happen during one of our

:16:13. > :16:33.You are on your own, sunshine. The headline for the next 24 hours
:16:34. > :16:39.is a mild one, it looks as though it is going to be bright with variable
:16:40. > :16:43.cloud and some sunny intervals. Showers across more northern parts
:16:44. > :16:46.for a time, but basically it is not looking too bad. This weather front
:16:47. > :16:51.will bring more rain in from the west tomorrow night, that should be
:16:52. > :16:54.clear first light Thursday morning. We had unexpected rain late this
:16:55. > :16:59.morning, heavy bursts across parts of Lincolnshire. That works into the
:17:00. > :17:03.North Sea, and the afternoon has been pleasant. Temperatures, 10
:17:04. > :17:08.Celsius at Waddington, 50 Fahrenheit. Showers bushing and from
:17:09. > :17:14.the West tonight, overnight it is try. If you have got shelter from
:17:15. > :17:23.the wind, there is a chance of a touch of ground frost ruefully ``
:17:24. > :17:33.rue relief. The Sun will rise in the morning, at 6:57am, your next high
:17:34. > :17:40.water time. It is not a bad day, the emphasis on a fine and bright spell
:17:41. > :17:47.of weather. Just for a time there is a risk of a few showers bushing into
:17:48. > :17:52.East Yorkshire. Most places will be dry with some sunshine, at another
:17:53. > :18:00.mild one for the time of year, the average is seven or eight degrees.
:18:01. > :18:04.50 Fahrenheit, well above average. More rain expected on Wednesday

:18:08. > :18:11.breakfast time it clears up, sunshine with a few showers, and it
:18:12. > :18:18.looks unsettled and quite showery on Friday. Into the first weekend of
:18:19. > :18:28.March. That is the forecast. So many people ask me, is your mate with
:18:29. > :18:32.you? I absolutely do not. Knock that on the head straightaway. See you
:18:33. > :18:36.tomorrow. World War One claimed the lives of
:18:37. > :18:39.millions of soldiers, and the impact on their home towns and villages was
:18:40. > :18:42.devastating. Many had joined up with their friends and colleagues in what
:18:43. > :18:46.became known as "pals battalions". Tonight, as we continue with the
:18:47. > :18:49.BBC's World War One at Home series we look at one of those battalions
:18:50. > :18:58.which was known as the Grimsby Chums. Jo Makel tells their story.
:18:59. > :19:03.When war was declared Britain only had a small army. Lord Kitchener,
:19:04. > :19:14.the Secretary of War, cold for 100,000 men to join up. It was the
:19:15. > :19:20.birth of the pals battalions. `` called for 100,000 men to join up.
:19:21. > :19:23.Kitchener's trump card was the fact that he promised that if you joined
:19:24. > :19:28.up together, you would serve together. People who worked
:19:29. > :19:33.alongside each other on the docks in Grimsby joined up together. Charlie
:19:34. > :19:38.had been doing voluntary work, and it is a tragic thing, he was such a
:19:39. > :19:43.good leader, most youngsters joined up with him. This rare footage shows
:19:44. > :19:46.the men of the 10th Battalion of the Lincolnshire regiment. The Grimsby
:19:47. > :19:53.Chums. They trained initially on the Brocklesby estate using make do
:19:54. > :19:56.uniforms from the post office. They were quite interested in having a
:19:57. > :20:00.challenge, doing their bit, as it were. Nobody had a clue what they
:20:01. > :20:04.were getting into. Richard's uncle Charles was in his early 20s and
:20:05. > :20:07.became a captain. He still has his will, written in the last hours
:20:08. > :20:15.before leaving for France in January 1916. We are going through a
:20:16. > :20:21.terrible strife, and I hope to be one of the ones to return. If it is
:20:22. > :20:25.not God 's will that I returned to you all, you will know I have tried
:20:26. > :20:28.to do my duty as a man. Over the next six months they they
:20:29. > :20:35.experienced real life in the trenches. Charles wrote in June: so
:20:36. > :20:40.much rain in the trenches and everything is so wet. If I pull out
:20:41. > :20:44.all right, I hope to have a company, which my ambition. It was to be his
:20:45. > :20:47.last letter. The Allies were trying to break through enemy lines spent
:20:48. > :20:53.days bombarding the Germans with artillery fire. On July first at
:20:54. > :21:00.7.30am the Chums were among a line of infantrymen who went over the
:21:01. > :21:08.top. But the deep German trenches were largely untouched. The German
:21:09. > :21:20.machine gunners came out of the dugouts, troops like the Chums, they
:21:21. > :21:23.were an easy target. Leading men across and encouraging them to their
:21:24. > :21:27.own deaths must have been a horrific situation. When he was
:21:28. > :21:32.machine`gunned, lying there are wounded, in mud and filth and
:21:33. > :21:36.things, he must have wondered, what have I done? About 840 Chums went
:21:37. > :21:41.over the top that day. Around half were killed or injured. But Peter
:21:42. > :21:49.Stele has in the past spoken to some of those who survived. They said
:21:50. > :21:53.things like, well, you just did it because you did not want to let your
:21:54. > :21:56.mates down. They were going over the top and you wanted to be with them.
:21:57. > :22:03.Charles Bellamy is remembered with his fellow soldiers in Grimsby
:22:04. > :22:07.Minster. They all joined up together and they were all killed together,
:22:08. > :22:11.it wiped out a whole echelon of society, and in a small place like
:22:12. > :22:15.Grimsby, it must have been absolutely devastating. All the
:22:16. > :22:19.young men of that generation just wiped out. The "pals" experiment was
:22:20. > :22:26.not repeated. The suffering in tight communities like Grimsby was too
:22:27. > :22:30.much to bear. And if you want to hear more about
:22:31. > :22:33.the untold stories from the Home Front then go to the BBC website
:22:34. > :22:41.where you'll be able to discover more World War One history from
:22:42. > :22:44.across the UK. We are looking for people to have
:22:45. > :22:48.their say about what we do here at Look North by joining our audience
:22:49. > :22:54.panel. The group meets three times a year, some paid although you would
:22:55. > :23:00.receive expenses `` it is unpaid. Visit the website for details. You
:23:01. > :23:03.need to do it by March the 7th. We look forward to hearing from you.
:23:04. > :23:07.Scunthorpe United could go top of League Two if they continue their 16
:23:08. > :23:10.match unbeaten run tonight. The Iron are second on goal difference to
:23:11. > :23:13.Chesterfield and take on Bristol Rovers at Glanford park this
:23:14. > :23:16.evening. This side are yet to lose since manager Russ Wilcox took over
:23:17. > :23:19.in November. Grimsby Town will try to move closer
:23:20. > :23:23.to the Conference play off places when they take on Southport tonight.
:23:24. > :23:27.The Mariners have a number of games in hand on their promotion rivals
:23:28. > :23:30.after their FA Trophy campaign. They're currently eighth and have
:23:31. > :23:36.won once in their last six league matches.
:23:37. > :23:38.And both those games will be on BBC Radio Humberside tonight
:23:39. > :23:53.Scunthorpe's match at home to Bristol Rovers is on FM, the build
:23:54. > :23:56.up is on air now in Sportstalk. Hull City are just one game away
:23:57. > :24:00.from a trip to Wembley after reaching the quarterfinals of the FA
:24:01. > :24:03.Cup for just the sixth time in their history. They'll meet Premier League
:24:04. > :24:06.rivals Sunderland on March ninth ` a team the club has beaten twice this
:24:07. > :24:09.season already. Our sports reporter Simon Clark has the story of Hull
:24:10. > :24:12.City's progress. The Tigers are just minutes from a
:24:13. > :24:14.second trip to Wembley. Last night against Brighton Hove Albion the
:24:15. > :24:17.club asserted its superiority against Championship opponents in
:24:18. > :24:20.the FA Cup with Curtis Davies squeezing home the first. Robert
:24:21. > :24:24.Koren was then credited with a second though it was far from clear
:24:25. > :24:28.cut. The men in amber and black were cruising through when Leo Ulloja
:24:29. > :24:31.reminded them they were in a cup tie but they held on to win. I thought,
:24:32. > :24:34.shall I get a ticket or shall I watch it in the comfort? And I
:24:35. > :24:38.thought, I have got to be there. And after Saturday, it was the best
:24:39. > :24:44.decision I made. The second half, they were quite poor. But we are in
:24:45. > :24:50.the quarterfinals. Thought it was absolutely excellent. We have got a
:24:51. > :24:53.chance, we are in the last eight, we are a Premier League team. We are a
:24:54. > :24:57.threat to anybody. It's only Hull City's sixth visit to the quarter
:24:58. > :25:00.final of the cup. This was their third time ` a replay at Boothferry
:25:01. > :25:05.park against Chelsea. Chelsea scraped through. Ken Wagstaff played
:25:06. > :25:09.on that day in 1966 and again in the quarter final in 1971 against Stoke.
:25:10. > :25:18.Baby`sitting his grandson, Waggy says today's team have to seize the
:25:19. > :25:23.day against Sunderland. You're playing in the sixth round, not far
:25:24. > :25:30.from Wembley, it is really exciting for the supporters. The supporters
:25:31. > :25:35.get behind you, and I just want them to go for the supporters, really.
:25:36. > :25:39.What a great opportunity for Hull City in this competition, a
:25:40. > :25:43.competition that has not been kind to them over the years. If they can
:25:44. > :25:51.beat Sunderland, it is a date at Wembley Stadium, and the semifinals.
:25:52. > :25:56.One game away, fantastic news for Hull City. We will continue to
:25:57. > :26:01.follow their success. It is five minutes to seven, let's get a recap
:26:02. > :26:06.of the national and regional headlines: a suspected IRA terrorist
:26:07. > :26:09.accused of murdering four British soldiers in London will not stand
:26:10. > :26:12.trial because of what is being called a reckless police error.
:26:13. > :26:18.Faster journey times ` MPs say a major rail line in East Yorkshire
:26:19. > :26:23.will be electrified. Tomorrow's weather, bright and breezy with some
:26:24. > :26:26.cloud and sunny intervals. A few showers as well, many places staying
:26:27. > :26:34.dry. Mild in the afternoon, getting up to around 10 Celsius.
:26:35. > :26:37.We were talking about academies and the Trent Valley Academy a few
:26:38. > :26:43.minutes ago. A big response on this. I am a student at the Trent Valley
:26:44. > :26:48.Academy, and there is poor quality teachers. Since we started back in
:26:49. > :26:51.September, we have had four different timetables, they have
:26:52. > :26:54.stopped activities week and work experience. I am not happy with the
:26:55. > :26:59.quality of education at the Trent Valley Academy. That is from a
:27:00. > :27:04.student there. Karen says, I have two children attend the Trent Valley
:27:05. > :27:08.Academy, one of whom left last year with good exam results. During both
:27:09. > :27:13.my daughters' time there, they were extremely happy, and the staff go
:27:14. > :27:18.above and beyond the cold duty to assist. As a parent, I could not
:27:19. > :27:22.praise and thank the staff enough. And Angelina, a retired teacher
:27:23. > :27:30.says, of course the results are below the national average. The top
:27:31. > :27:33.candidates go to grammar schools. And another person says, it is a
:27:34. > :27:36.no`brainer. It has to compete with the Gainsborough high school, which
:27:37. > :27:44.creams off the more academic students. Blame it partly on
:27:45. > :27:45.selection. Join me if you can on the radio tomorrow lunchtime. Have a
:27:46. > :27:49.nice evening. Goodbye.
