:00:00. > :00:00.early 1990s. That's all from the BBC News at Six. It's goodbye from me.
:00:00. > :00:09.On Good evening, and welcome to BBC
:00:10. > :00:13.Look North. The headlines tonight: An apology for poor care at a heart
:00:14. > :00:26.unit treating children from East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.
:00:27. > :00:28.I have a sense of profound disappointment and regret that your
:00:29. > :00:32.experience was so poor. From the Tour de France, to City of
:00:33. > :00:37.Culture. Hopes that big events could bring in ?100 million.
:00:38. > :00:44.Keeping the Humber safe. Thd new pilot boat making vessels s`fer on
:00:45. > :00:49.the Humber. Bossy.
:00:50. > :00:53.The new campaign to ban the word "bossy", because it puts girls off
:00:54. > :00:58.from becoming leaders. It has been another glorious day.
:00:59. > :01:00.What about the next few days? Join me for a detailed forecast hn a few
:01:01. > :01:09.minutes. The head of the hospital whhch
:01:10. > :01:12.provides heart surgery for children across East Yorkshire and northern
:01:13. > :01:17.Lincolnshire has offered a full apology to families who recdived
:01:18. > :01:20.poor care. NHS England has today published two reports into the Leeds
:01:21. > :01:28.Heart Unit, following the stspension of surgery there last year. The
:01:29. > :01:31.first found the unit is safd. But the second identified a number of
:01:32. > :01:41.families who were treated whthout compassion. Our health corrdspondent
:01:42. > :01:44.Vicky Johnson reports. Children's heart surgery has been
:01:45. > :01:47.suspended in Leeds. When children's heart surgery in
:01:48. > :01:51.Leeds was suspended last March, it caused a storm of claims and counter
:01:52. > :01:54.claims about death rates and poor care. Today, NHS England has
:01:55. > :01:59.released two reports into that closure. The first, which examines
:02:00. > :02:03.deaths on the unit over a fhve`year period, found that outcomes were in
:02:04. > :02:06.line with other similar units, and that services are safe. But the
:02:07. > :02:09.second details shortcomings in the care of 16 families, includhng one
:02:10. > :02:16.mother who says she felt prdssured into having an abortion agahnst her
:02:17. > :02:20.Muslim beliefs. We are profoundly sorry that we let
:02:21. > :02:30.you down. We have a sense of profound disappointment and regret
:02:31. > :02:33.that your experience was so poor. Four`year`old Summer, from Hull had
:02:34. > :02:37.major heart surgery two years ago. Her father insists they werd shown
:02:38. > :02:45.care and compassion at the Leeds unit.
:02:46. > :02:49.The nurses came told you wh`t was going on, how it was going to
:02:50. > :02:56.happen. They were very nice to us. Even the people in our bays, I never
:02:57. > :03:01.heard one bad word against them We are thrilled the unfair `nd
:03:02. > :03:05.flawed decision... Surgery had been suspended the very day after
:03:06. > :03:09.campaigners had succeeded in getting the high court to overturn `
:03:10. > :03:13.decision to close the unit. Today's report makes 35 recommendathons for
:03:14. > :03:19.improvement. Many families come to this tnit with
:03:20. > :03:23.a positive experience. Much as this is a negative view of the sdrvice,
:03:24. > :03:27.we must take heart from the fact most families who come throtgh here
:03:28. > :03:36.have a positive experience, it is a safe place.
:03:37. > :03:43.These complaints go back to 200 . The most important message for me to
:03:44. > :03:46.give is that this centre is safe. The proposal to close speci`list
:03:47. > :03:51.units in Leeds and Leicester would mean that local families wotld have
:03:52. > :03:52.to travel to Birmingham, London and Newcastle, as the NHS tries to
:03:53. > :03:55.concentrate expertise in fewer centres. The long`term future of the
:03:56. > :03:58.Leeds unit is still in doubt, despite today's reports.
:03:59. > :04:06.Vicky is with me now. What hmpact do these findings have on the bigger
:04:07. > :04:09.debate over whether the Leeds unit, and the Leicester unit which is used
:04:10. > :04:11.by families in Lincolnshire, should stay open in the future?
:04:12. > :04:14.As regards Leeds, the report means the unit can continue with the 00
:04:15. > :04:20.operations they undertake every year, for the time being. The
:04:21. > :04:23.National review into how to concentrate these centres of
:04:24. > :04:29.excellence into fewer areas will continue. Last year, followhng the
:04:30. > :04:33.High Court ruling, the revidw has extended to include adult hdart
:04:34. > :04:37.surgery as well as children's. There will be a public consultation in
:04:38. > :04:44.summer. The results of this review won't be known until next ydar.
:04:45. > :04:45.Coming up, committing to thd future: Same`sex couples can registdr to get
:04:46. > :04:51.married from today. Lincolnshire's biggest employer has
:04:52. > :04:57.announced a major re`organisation, including jobs cuts among sdnior
:04:58. > :04:59.managers. Staff at the county council are today being told that
:05:00. > :05:02.departments will be restructured, and more services could be
:05:03. > :05:06.out`sourced. 25 senior management jobs are to go over the sumler, with
:05:07. > :05:15.the possibility of more cuts to follow.
:05:16. > :05:23.Everybody knows in any organisation or business, staff cuts `` costs are
:05:24. > :05:28.a sizeable part of the budgdt. It is good management to look at this and
:05:29. > :05:30.to cut your costs `` cloth accordingly.
:05:31. > :05:33.It already employs 15,000 pdople, and generates millions for the local
:05:34. > :05:37.economy but, now, tourism bosses in East Yorkshire believe they could be
:05:38. > :05:41.on the brink of a real boom. They want to use the years beford Hull
:05:42. > :05:44.becomes City of Culture to promote the area, and draw in more visitors
:05:45. > :05:47.who are prepared to stay for longer. Ahead of tonight's East Yorkshire
:05:48. > :05:49.tourism awards, Crispin Rolfe has been looking at the challenges faced
:05:50. > :05:54.by the industry. Yorkshire kick`starts this xear s
:05:55. > :06:02.Tour de France. And Hull is UK City of Culture 2017. In between, three
:06:03. > :06:08.key years for East Yorkshird's tourist industry to make thd most
:06:09. > :06:10.of. Ruth Rowland's hoping to do just that, by expanding her self`catering
:06:11. > :06:21.holiday lodge company in Bishop Wilton near Pocklington. Already we
:06:22. > :06:24.have had a number of bookings for the Tour de France, we have put in
:06:25. > :06:29.cycle racks, cycle encourage cyclists.
:06:30. > :06:34.And so does Lisa Rushworth, who owns the village pub, just a few miles
:06:35. > :06:41.from a cycling tourist routd. Being the only pub in the vhllage,
:06:42. > :06:45.it is a win`win for us. Ruth is kind enough to recommend us. We do really
:06:46. > :06:52.well for evening meals and repeat business.
:06:53. > :06:54.Currently, it's estimated that tourism accounts for 15,000 jobs in
:06:55. > :07:00.East Yorkshire, 3.5 million overnight stays, and 14 million day
:07:01. > :07:03.visitors. It's worth ?700 mhllion a year to the local economy, with
:07:04. > :07:06.tourism bosses now aiming at increasing that by a 100 million
:07:07. > :07:10.over the next three years. That is the challenge not only for
:07:11. > :07:20.us, but the 1800 businesses that work within the visitor economy at
:07:21. > :07:22.the minute. Helping them to rise to that
:07:23. > :07:25.challenge, are new promotions in London's Metro newspaper and Time
:07:26. > :07:31.Out. But can Hull and East Xorkshire truly rival Britain's premidr
:07:32. > :07:38.holiday destinations? I havd been to Hull... No, I wouldn't go through
:07:39. > :07:46.choice. We have done in the past. We enjoy it. But, no, today, wd like
:07:47. > :07:54.London. Have you heard of a place called hole? No. Either way, it is a
:07:55. > :07:58.challenge to get people to stay overnight. Because they will pay
:07:59. > :08:05.five times more into the Yorkshire economy. Tonight, industry `wards in
:08:06. > :08:08.Bridlington. But tomorrow, ` challenge for the industry `nd
:08:09. > :08:10.businesses like Ruth's, to lake the most of three years in the
:08:11. > :08:14.spotlight, and secure millions more from overnight stays.
:08:15. > :08:17.I've been speaking to James Beresford who's the head of Visit
:08:18. > :08:21.England. He'll be at the aw`rds ceremony tonight. I asked hhm how
:08:22. > :08:27.Hull and East Yorkshire can make the most of the City of Culture title?
:08:28. > :08:32.It is a brilliant accolade to have for Hull and East Yorkshire, a
:08:33. > :08:37.target to aim for. One of the great things about receiving such an
:08:38. > :08:40.accolade is it is that targdt, and the businesses, local authorities,
:08:41. > :08:47.and the people here can focts on delivering what has to be a terrific
:08:48. > :08:51.occasion. And I know they whll. How do we get these 14 million day
:08:52. > :08:58.visitors to stay overnight? What do we say to them? It is a tricky line
:08:59. > :09:07.to tell people. Because Hull and East Yorkshire is an accesshble
:09:08. > :09:11.place to get to and from. The trick is to sell to those visitors who are
:09:12. > :09:17.coming on a daily basis to say to them, if you spend more timd here,
:09:18. > :09:24.you will relax, you will enjoy more. There is so much to do and see.
:09:25. > :09:28.There really is. I look at Hull and East Yorkshire and it is a
:09:29. > :09:33.destination in England of htge potential. Are we up there, can we
:09:34. > :09:41.rival the likes of the Lake District? There is some way to go.
:09:42. > :09:47.Those are destinations that have been established as visitor
:09:48. > :09:51.destinations for years. Whilst I am very confident that tourism will
:09:52. > :09:57.still thrive in those established areas, it is areas like these were
:09:58. > :10:05.the potential sets, for us to grow tourism. So, why not? That `ccolade
:10:06. > :10:08.of 2017, capital of culture for Hull and East Yorkshire really ghves
:10:09. > :10:13.something for people to set their sights on. I would be very confident
:10:14. > :10:17.as chief executive of the n`tional tourist board we can get behind the
:10:18. > :10:24.efforts of folks in this part of the world and transform it. Will you be
:10:25. > :10:30.booking a city break and st`ying overnight in hole? I know this area
:10:31. > :10:36.quite well already, I have visited here many a time. I love thd
:10:37. > :10:43.villagers, the towns and city. Yes, absolutely, I will. I will make
:10:44. > :10:50.sure I spend a full weekend in the lead up and during 2017.
:10:51. > :10:58.What do you think about this story. Adverts in London trying to attract
:10:59. > :11:01.visitors to Hull for a city break and to bring ?100 million in revenue
:11:02. > :11:05.to the region. What particularly do Hull and East Yorkshire need to do
:11:06. > :11:10.to get visitors in from London and the south east?
:11:11. > :11:14.What have we got to tempt pdople? Your thoughts on this one,
:11:15. > :11:29.particularly if you are in the tourism industry.
:11:30. > :11:35.Block paving put down as part of the ?6 million revamp of Grimsbx town
:11:36. > :11:39.centre will have to be taken up and re`laid. North East Lincolnshire
:11:40. > :11:43.Council has confirmed that "there is a problem" with a section of paving
:11:44. > :11:46.which has been breaking up. It will now be looked at by contractors
:11:47. > :11:51.New pool`side flooring is to be laid at Cleethorpes Leisure Centre,
:11:52. > :11:54.following safety concerns. Tests have been carried out, after
:11:55. > :11:57.complaints from people who'd fallen. The leisure centre will be closed
:11:58. > :12:02.for two weeks, while the work takes place.
:12:03. > :12:07.Plans for 970 new homes in Louth have been rejected. East Lindsey
:12:08. > :12:10.District Council's planning committee voted unanimously against
:12:11. > :12:13.the scheme, which also incltded a school and community buildings. The
:12:14. > :12:15.new homes on a 150 acres of agricultural land would havd
:12:16. > :12:28.increased the town's population by more than 10%.
:12:29. > :12:37.I am really pleased, 970 holes is to many, like tacking on anothdr town.
:12:38. > :12:43.I don't want to see the toilet `` the town spoilt. We are at
:12:44. > :12:47.capacity. Do you envisage an appeal? Too early to say. We need to think
:12:48. > :12:55.through the debate and see what the options are. An appeal is an option.
:12:56. > :12:57.Still ahead tonight: The tiny vessel making huge ships safer on the
:12:58. > :13:10.Humber. Girls are less interested in
:13:11. > :13:11.leadership than boys. Because they are worried about being called
:13:12. > :13:15.bossy. The online campaign to ban the word
:13:16. > :13:22."bossy", because it puts girls off from becoming
:13:23. > :13:30.This sunset was taken from South Ferriby, by
:13:31. > :13:49.Time now for the weather with Paul Hudson. There are two weeks of
:13:50. > :13:57.sunshine I read in the newspaper. Stick to the professionals!
:13:58. > :14:03.If Alex coming in! The headline it has been a beautiful day today.
:14:04. > :14:08.Tomorrow will be fine with sunshine once any fog clears. Some fog could
:14:09. > :14:13.be dense in places. High prdssure is generally in charge.
:14:14. > :14:21.A week where the front won't make it across as. The weekend is pretty
:14:22. > :14:31.good. Breezy, but a fine wedkend. A lovely afternoon it has been, 1
:14:32. > :14:37.Celsius. A beautiful, clear evening. Overnight, we will see Mr
:14:38. > :14:45.and fog developing, some face `` C fog. Not as cold as it has been on
:14:46. > :14:51.previous nights, lowest temperatures around three Celsius. Enough for a
:14:52. > :15:02.ground frost in places. The sun will rise in the morning at around
:15:03. > :15:14.6:20am. A great start in pl`ces Take care on the roads. `` ` grey
:15:15. > :15:21.start. A fine day in prospect. Let us look at the temperatures. A
:15:22. > :15:31.lovely day. 14 Celsius. Nothceably milder along the coast. We lose that
:15:32. > :15:35.easterly breeze. The weekend is looking drive. Variable amotnts of
:15:36. > :15:46.cloud. Some sunshine, the bdst of the sunny skies on Sunday.
:15:47. > :15:51.Wouldn't it be nice to play golf all day tomorrow? Funny you shotld say
:15:52. > :15:56.that! A same`sex couple from Hull will
:15:57. > :15:59.become amongst the first to get married, when gay weddings become
:16:00. > :16:02.legal later this month. Tod`y, Jenna Middleton and Sammy Spence were able
:16:03. > :16:05.to register their intention to marry on March 29th. They say thex want a
:16:06. > :16:09.marriage rather than a civil partnership, so they can have the
:16:10. > :16:15.same rights as any other cotple Amy Cole reports.
:16:16. > :16:21.When it was a busy fishing port marriage in Hull was about len going
:16:22. > :16:24.to sea, and women staying at home. But, over the years, fleets have
:16:25. > :16:28.left the city's docks, and larriage is about to become more than just
:16:29. > :16:31.something for men and women. Today, the stepdaughter of one trawlerman,
:16:32. > :16:35.and her girlfriend have gond, to the Guildhall to formally give notice of
:16:36. > :16:49.their wedding in just over two week's time. Did you want m`tching
:16:50. > :16:53.rings? Yes. Up until now, couples like Jenna and
:16:54. > :16:56.Sammy have been able to become civil partners, bringing them simhlar
:16:57. > :16:58.rights, but not the right to say they're married. For them, ht's
:16:59. > :17:02.about equality. It is the principle of the latter,
:17:03. > :17:06.men and women have that right, so why can't we? We are basically
:17:07. > :17:09.saying we are equal to them. Wedding history was last made in
:17:10. > :17:15.Hull when a bachelor and a spinster tied the knot in 1837.
:17:16. > :17:20.Marriage at the moment is rdferred to as the union of one man `nd one
:17:21. > :17:24.woman. After the changes, it will be the union of two people.
:17:25. > :17:32.There was significant opposhtion to the new law from some MPs and
:17:33. > :17:36.churches. Jenna and Sammy s`y it's partly for the rights that have been
:17:37. > :17:43.won that they will say their vows a week on Saturday.
:17:44. > :17:46.All the very best to them. This is another story we'd like your
:17:47. > :17:49.thoughts on. Is it right th`t same`sex couples who want to get
:17:50. > :17:52.married will legally be allowed to at the end the month? While those in
:17:53. > :18:01.civil partnerships can't? Thanks to everyone who's got in
:18:02. > :18:03.touch with us about concerns over the safety of e`cigarettes. They
:18:04. > :18:06.mimic the effects of real cigarettes, without some of the
:18:07. > :18:09.toxic substances. But health professionals in Hull say the
:18:10. > :18:18.long`term effects are unknown, and people that use them could be taking
:18:19. > :19:01.in dangerous quantities of nicotine. Keith says, my wife uses thdse.
:19:02. > :19:05.Newcastle United manager Al`n Pardew says he's contacted Hull City to
:19:06. > :19:08.apologise for head`butting David Meyler during the game betwden the
:19:09. > :19:11.sides at the KC Stadium. Thhs week, Pardew received a seven`match
:19:12. > :19:16.touchline ban from the FA, following the incident. He says he's sorry,
:19:17. > :19:31.and accepts that the player did nothing wrong.
:19:32. > :19:36.I sent a letter to Steve to say there was no animosity on mx side
:19:37. > :19:39.towards David, to say sorry basically for the incident that
:19:40. > :19:42.happened. I deeply regret it. Their role guiding ships into the
:19:43. > :19:46.Humber has been established over decades. And, today, a new vessel
:19:47. > :19:49.was added to the fleet of the Humber pilots. The Humber Jupiter, launched
:19:50. > :19:51.by ABP, will transport pilots to and from ships, helping others navigate
:19:52. > :19:56.the treacherous tides of thd estuary. Jill Archbold reports.
:19:57. > :20:03.The planet is fifth in order from the sun. So it's fitting thhs
:20:04. > :20:09.Jupiter is the fifth to join the fleet of vessels which help ships
:20:10. > :20:16.navigate the Humber. I am pleased to name this btstle
:20:17. > :20:20.Humber Jupiter `` vessel. Her price tag is ?1 million. But,
:20:21. > :20:28.for the crew who will be drhving ten miles out into the North Se`, having
:20:29. > :20:34.the latest equipment is priceless. The seas can become quite rough you
:20:35. > :20:40.can imagine it is quite a slall boat going out to these ships. The
:20:41. > :20:43.conditions we have two ensure, you can resemble it to being in a
:20:44. > :20:47.washing machine. Similar on`board technology has proved life`saving.
:20:48. > :20:51.In February, sister vessel the Humber Mercury answered a dhstress
:20:52. > :20:55.call, and saved a man who h`d fallen overboard.
:20:56. > :21:01.The thought we saved somebody's life, that is on a different level.
:21:02. > :21:07.The crew members and the pilot who said that man's life can fedl very
:21:08. > :21:15.proud. You don't have to go far to see evidence of this.
:21:16. > :21:24.It is the modernisation of the fleet that ABP says is vital to attract
:21:25. > :21:28.trade. A modern fleet of pilot vessels are fundamental to what we
:21:29. > :21:32.do. If we cannot get the pilots safely to the ships, ships cannot
:21:33. > :21:38.come in, and the Humber ports will fail to flourish. And, as "the
:21:39. > :21:40.tradesman" sails by, a reminder of the important role the Humbdr pilots
:21:41. > :21:45.play, steering trade towards Hull. Beyonce and Posh Spice want the word
:21:46. > :21:48.banned, and politicians say it's damaging to women's confidence.
:21:49. > :21:52.They're talking about the word "bossy". A new video campaign says
:21:53. > :21:55.strong women should be calldd confident and ambitious, rather than
:21:56. > :21:58.being labelled in this way. In a moment, we'll be hearing from a
:21:59. > :22:02.Yorkshire businesswoman who's proud to be called "bossy". But, first,
:22:03. > :22:04.Sarah Corker has been finding out whether there's any support for the
:22:05. > :22:18.ban. whether there's any support for the
:22:19. > :22:22.Stubborn. Pushy. Bossy. Frol politicians to pop stars, united in
:22:23. > :22:25.their campaign to get this word banished. A word which stops
:22:26. > :22:33.schoolgirls seeing themselvds as leaders. The word first appdared in
:22:34. > :22:41.the dictionary in 1882. Then, mentioning NIDA `` a lady m`nager
:22:42. > :22:47.who was dreadfully bossy. So, our women confident and assertive or
:22:48. > :22:56.bossy? You are the boss, ard you bossy? I am not bossy. She hs not
:22:57. > :23:03.bossy at all. You have to bd bossy. You are happy about that? Ltcy
:23:04. > :23:09.Beaumont may be confident on stage but she says she is no leaddr. I
:23:10. > :23:15.like to be called bossy. My mum has, actually. Apart from that, I am
:23:16. > :23:21.not like that. I am not somdbody who wants to tell people what to do
:23:22. > :23:24.Teenagers at this school sahd it can be a con ferment. I like to leave
:23:25. > :23:37.but I don't consider myself bossy. My mum is bossy but she is ` good
:23:38. > :23:40.mum. I don't think we should ban the word, bossy, but it is used about
:23:41. > :23:47.women who tend to be strong and assertive. The campaign may be
:23:48. > :23:50.backed by celebrities but m`ny said here they are bossy and protd of it.
:23:51. > :23:55.Earlier, I spoke to the forler runner`up of The Apprentice, Claire
:23:56. > :24:04.Young, and asked her whether the word "bossy" should be banndd?
:24:05. > :24:09.The word, bossy, should be banned. It is ridiculous to suggest banning
:24:10. > :24:14.a word at all but I am proud to be defined as a bossy female,
:24:15. > :24:20.particularly working with ghrls in schools. It is good to have an
:24:21. > :24:26.opinion and be assertive. The head of Facebook says it is disp`raging
:24:27. > :24:33.to women. It has had great headlines today in the campaign. I don't think
:24:34. > :24:39.it will stick. Parents and teachers will be shaking their heads saying
:24:40. > :24:49.we need our girls to be bossy. A woman is bossy, a man is called
:24:50. > :25:03.assertive. It's not flatterhng. They do call me bossy. It is an old way.
:25:04. > :25:07.If women are assertive and confident, that is what it comes
:25:08. > :25:12.down to, people will say yot are bossy. It is an old`fashiondd way.
:25:13. > :25:21.What they are saying is in this campaign, this is putting off one in
:25:22. > :25:25.putting themselves forward for leadership roles. I do not
:25:26. > :25:30.understand the article. I encourage the young ladies I worked whth to be
:25:31. > :25:37.assertive and confident, and if that labels them to be bossy, I want them
:25:38. > :25:45.to be proud. I don't understand the rationale behind the campaign. When
:25:46. > :25:51.they told me you were coming in I said, that bossy so and so, that is
:25:52. > :25:55.all I need. I take it as a compliment. It means you have a
:25:56. > :26:00.sense of opinion and you ard not frightened to say it. That hs a big
:26:01. > :26:06.thing for girls, having the confidence to speak up.
:26:07. > :26:11.Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines.
:26:12. > :26:14.A former News Of The World journalist claims it was Prhncess
