:00:09. > :00:10.Good evening. The parents of a teenager who

:00:11. > :00:11.drowned after his car crashed The parents of a teenager who

:00:12. > :00:13.drowned after his car crashdd into a drowned after his car crashed into a

:00:14. > :00:17.deep water`filled ditch are asking for barriers along hundreds of miles

:00:18. > :00:20.of country roads to protect drivers. Peter and Stella Roberts fotnd their

:00:21. > :00:22.son's car near Coningsby in South Lincolnshire. But despite many

:00:23. > :00:25.Lincolnshire. But despite m`ny incidents, the authorities say it's

:00:26. > :00:36.not practical to install barriers on all roads which are next to water.

:00:37. > :00:37.Gemma Dawson reports. Peter and Stella's son James never

:00:38. > :00:41.celebrated his next birthday. They celebrated his next birthday. They

:00:42. > :00:46.found his car upside down in a ditch, near to their home, six

:00:47. > :00:54.months ago. It was awful, it is still awful, the pain is unbearable.

:00:55. > :00:55.There are so many unguarded areas, particularly where there are

:00:56. > :01:03.There are so many unguarded areas, particularly where there ard turns

:01:04. > :01:09.in the road, with no lighting. There should really be barriers. For one

:01:10. > :01:13.person to die is bad enough so we need to make sure this never happens

:01:14. > :01:17.again. So nobody goes through what my family has been through. But in

:01:18. > :01:20.the last two weeks, three cars have ended up in ditches ` in separate

:01:21. > :01:23.incidents ` across Lincolnshire. Figures from the Lincolnshire Road

:01:24. > :01:26.Safety Partnership show that over the last five years, 30 cars have

:01:27. > :01:29.been found in water`filled ditches in the county. Five of those cases

:01:30. > :01:32.in the county. Five of thosd cases resulted in serious injuries and in

:01:33. > :01:40.three cases, either the driver or a passenger died. We have had a number

:01:41. > :01:50.of collisions and we have carried out extensive work on those areas.

:01:51. > :01:54.And sometimes, safety fences. In reality, it is not always practical.

:01:55. > :01:57.I first met Andy last November, after he'd helped another motorist

:01:58. > :02:08.who'd ended`up in the ditch opposite his house near Boston. They have

:02:09. > :02:12.added markers all the way along round the bends, and chevrons. Five

:02:13. > :02:14.months on, he was happy to show me the signs and markers that

:02:15. > :02:18.Lincolnshire County Council has just installed here. To be fair to the

:02:19. > :02:20.council, I was critical, it took a while, but they have done a good

:02:21. > :02:23.job. And hopefully it will lake a job. And hopefully it will make a

:02:24. > :02:27.difference. But James' parents would like to see more signs and barriers

:02:28. > :02:29.near ditches to prevent further deaths. What are the authorities

:02:30. > :02:35.deaths. What are the authorhties saying about putting crash barriers

:02:36. > :02:36.beside ditches? James' dad told me he believes James would still be

:02:37. > :02:42.alive if there had been a barrier alive if there had been a b`rrier

:02:43. > :02:43.next to the ditch where he drowned. In some places there are barriers.

:02:44. > :02:45.But, in reality, there are liles In some places there are barriers.

:02:46. > :02:47.But, in reality, there are miles and But, in reality, there are liles and

:02:48. > :02:48.miles of these drainage ditches so the authorities say it's not

:02:49. > :02:49.practical to put barriers next the authorities say it's not

:02:50. > :02:51.practical to put barriers ndxt to practical to put barriers next to

:02:52. > :02:54.every road. Now it's up to Lincolnshire County Council, along

:02:55. > :02:55.with the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership, to decide where to

:02:56. > :02:58.Partnership, to decide wherd to install these safety measures. And

:02:59. > :03:00.install these safety measurds. And they do that based on the amount

:03:01. > :03:02.install these safety measures. And they do that based on the alount of

:03:03. > :03:04.they do that based on the amount of traffic using the road, along with

:03:05. > :03:07.the number and severity of crashes that take place there. So it's very

:03:08. > :03:16.unlikely that James' parents will get their wish ` to see barriers

:03:17. > :03:19.next to all ditches. New technology could lead to

:03:20. > :03:20.expansion of the BAE factorx in Brough following years of mass

:03:26. > :03:28.development centre. Our Business Correspondent, Paul Murphy, reports

:03:29. > :03:32.from the factory. Danny is one of the new breed of BAE workers in

:03:33. > :03:37.Brough. He's a former apprentice and now a specialist software engineer.

:03:38. > :03:41.He designs the computer systems used to fly the latest versions of the

:03:42. > :03:53.Hawk jet. A plane with a long association with the Brough site. It

:03:54. > :03:57.is the future, isn't it? Software is what provides the capability of the

:03:58. > :03:58.Hawks, it is quite an old frame but the software is what makes the

:03:59. > :04:01.current platform a successftl current platform a successftl

:04:13. > :04:15.aeroplane building in the 1870s and 1980s, around 5,000 people were

:04:16. > :04:16.employed but there have been difficult times for the site in

:04:17. > :04:20.difficult times for the sitd in recent years. In 2011, BAE announced

:04:27. > :04:32.close. This was eventually reduced to 500. Recently, in old aircraft

:04:33. > :04:38.hangars, state of the art laboratories have been built. There

:04:39. > :04:45.are still 800 people working here on the nuts and bolts of Hawk

:04:46. > :04:47.manufacture. But the great hope for the future is in software

:04:48. > :04:55.development The mission control systems which fly these aircraft.

:04:56. > :04:59.This is the first time cameras have been allowed into this facility,

:05:00. > :05:02.home to a team of 85 software specialists. The emphasis now is

:05:03. > :05:08.more on the technology we put into more on the technology we put into

:05:09. > :05:11.the jets. So we design, develop and write the software that the pilot

:05:12. > :05:22.uses as his primary aid for training. And also for flying the

:05:23. > :05:23.aircraft. Nearly half the work here still involves physically making

:05:24. > :05:24.still involves physically m`king components. But an increasingly

:05:25. > :05:26.important part of any aircraft components. But an increasingly

:05:27. > :05:29.important part of any aircr`ft is its so`called digital brain, and

:05:30. > :05:39.that is where it is hoped the future lies for this factory.

:05:40. > :05:42.Scunthorpe United have been showing off plans for a new 12,000 seat

:05:43. > :05:45.stadium at a meeting in the town tonight. It will replace Glanford

:05:46. > :05:52.Park, which opened in 1988. Simon Clark was the meeting.

:05:53. > :05:55.Here at Scunthorpe United's Glanford Park executive suite, the chairman

:05:56. > :05:58.has held court for more than one hour, explaining his plans to move

:05:59. > :06:00.to a new stadium. He wouldn't be specific on where the location

:06:01. > :06:00.to a new stadium. He wouldn't be specific on where the locathon of

:06:01. > :06:02.specific on where the location of the new stadium would be, btt he did

:06:03. > :06:06.the new stadium would be, but he did put some meat on the bones. It will

:06:07. > :06:11.cost ?80 million, paid for over ten years. It will house 12,000 fans. We

:06:12. > :06:16.know we are on a tight schedule We know we are on a tight schedule We

:06:17. > :06:19.want to get this done as quickly as we can so we don't spend another

:06:20. > :06:24.year in limbo. We will work as fast as we can and we'll hopefully get it

:06:25. > :06:27.done. As you can see over my shoulder, fans are poring over the

:06:28. > :06:31.artist's impressions, getting a feel for the new place and one or two are

:06:32. > :06:35.telling me they are picking their seats for the future.

:06:36. > :06:38.Now the weather forecast with Paul Hudson.

:06:39. > :06:40.A better day in prospect tolorrow, A better day in prospect tomorrow,

:06:41. > :06:41.perhaps a grey start but thdre A better day in prospect tolorrow,

:06:42. > :06:43.perhaps a grey start but there will perhaps a grey start but thdre will

:06:44. > :06:47.be some warm sunshine developing in most places. This weather front will

:06:48. > :06:48.hold its rain off until tomorrow night. Quite a misty night hn

:06:49. > :06:52.night. Quite a misty night in prospect tonight, some fog patches,

:06:53. > :06:53.some low cloud, the risk of the odd shower meandering up from the south

:06:54. > :06:55.but I suspect most places whll shower meandering up from the south

:06:56. > :07:00.but I suspect most places will be but I suspect most places whll be

:07:01. > :07:03.dry. Temperatures around eight or nine degrees. Wednesday, a grey

:07:04. > :07:07.start in places, the low cloud and mist will clear, we should see some

:07:08. > :07:11.warm sunny spells developing. The risk of one or two showers later,

:07:12. > :07:16.the emphasis on a good deal of dry weather, temperatures a not bad 16

:07:17. > :07:18.or 17 degrees. That is the forecast. That's all from the late te`m. Look

:07:19. > :07:20.That's all from the late team. Look North is back tomorrow just after

:07:21. > :07:22.midday ` hope you can join us then. midday ` hope you can join ts then.

:07:23. > :07:38.Bye is not looking too bad. That's

:07:39. > :07:42.weather front. It is never too early to think about

:07:43. > :07:47.next weekend and I will be doing that in a couple of minutes. But we

:07:48. > :07:53.have a sizeable chunk of this week's whether to go first. There

:07:54. > :07:57.are more showers, but there will be spells of warm sunshine around as

:07:58. > :08:04.well, so there will be no frost at night. Bands of showers across the

:08:05. > :08:08.western side of the UK and Scotland's passing through

:08:09. > :08:15.overnight. Another heavy burst coming into the south-west later on

:08:16. > :08:19.in the night. This rain band slowly comes in from the South West and

:08:20. > :08:24.this is how Wednesday starts at eight o'clock in the morning. It

:08:25. > :08:29.will turn out to be a warmer day in Scotland, but misty low cloud in the

:08:30. > :08:35.North East and that will impact on the temperature. There will be a few

:08:36. > :08:36.bright spells punching through this cloud and a sunny day
