:00:00. > :00:00.Thank you very much. Goodbye from me. And on BBC One
:00:07. > :00:14.Good evening, thank you for joining us. The headlines: The family of a
:00:15. > :00:22.woman killed by a partially sighted driver call for a change in the law.
:00:23. > :00:26.It is just horrendous that the driver has hardly got any vision at
:00:27. > :00:31.all. He was allowed on the road. Something has to be done.
:00:32. > :00:35.Also tonight, opposition to plans to build the country's tallest wind
:00:36. > :00:38.turbines in Lincolnshire. All flights are suspended at East
:00:39. > :00:51.Midlands Airport after a plane crashes on the runway.
:00:52. > :00:54.And, can football anthems inspire Hull City two FA Cup success at
:00:55. > :00:59.Wembley? And it was a cloudy start to the
:01:00. > :01:01.day. It brightened up by nicely, how is it looking tomorrow? I will have
:01:02. > :01:15.all the details. The family of a pensioner who died
:01:16. > :01:21.after being knocked down and killed on a zebra crossing by a driver who
:01:22. > :01:26.was, effectively blind in one eye, is calling for a change in the law
:01:27. > :01:34.to prevent another death. 93`year`old Audrey Noden died six
:01:35. > :01:38.weeks after being hit to you so ago. The 70 three macro 73`year`old
:01:39. > :01:43.driver of the car is starting a two`year jail sentence after
:01:44. > :01:46.admitting causing death by dangerous driving. He had a serious eye
:01:47. > :01:52.condition and had been lying about being fit to drive.
:01:53. > :01:58.This CCTV footage shows Audrey and her daughter Margaret approaching
:01:59. > :02:04.the zebra crossing. We saw this car and it was going really slowly. We
:02:05. > :02:10.assumed it was going to stop. So we started out on the crossing, and it
:02:11. > :02:14.didn't stop. A second or two later, the care were hit on this crossing
:02:15. > :02:21.by eight car driven by 73`year`old Peter Conroy. He suffers from a
:02:22. > :02:24.degenerative eye disease. He admitted causing death by dangerous
:02:25. > :02:30.driving and was jailed for two years yesterday. Earlier, Audrey's
:02:31. > :02:33.daughters told me they believe there needs to be a change in the law to
:02:34. > :02:39.prevent this happening to anyone else. It is just horrendous that a
:02:40. > :02:43.driver who has hardly got any vision at all is allowed on the road.
:02:44. > :02:49.Something has to be done, probably when you are applied to have your
:02:50. > :02:53.license renewed when you are 70, maybe you have to have an
:02:54. > :02:58.optician's note to say that you are able to drive. Warranty, all drivers
:02:59. > :03:03.over 70 has to renew their licence every three years. They are required
:03:04. > :03:09.to tell the DVLA about any condition that might affect their driving. Mr
:03:10. > :03:14.Conway should have done this. In his case it was a case of self
:03:15. > :03:18.certification that will continue his licence. He should have stopped at
:03:19. > :03:23.that point. He knew it was on the form, he knew it was a criminal
:03:24. > :03:28.offence to fall further details on that form, but he continued to do
:03:29. > :03:32.so. And this was the result. Audrey's family wanted this footage
:03:33. > :03:36.to be released to act as a warning to other drivers to prevent anyone
:03:37. > :03:43.else experiencing the pain they have suffered. I had to go to my
:03:44. > :03:48.mother's funeral in a wheelchair, and it was horrible. I just wanted
:03:49. > :03:53.to walk again. I have not coped with my emotions at all. Audrey's
:03:54. > :03:58.daughters hope motorists will now think seriously about whether they
:03:59. > :04:05.are safe to drive. In a moment, there is opposition to
:04:06. > :04:12.plans to build the country's tallest wind turbines in Lincolnshire.
:04:13. > :04:17.A two`year`old is recovering in hospital in Hull after being hit by
:04:18. > :04:20.a car. The incident happened on Sculcoates Lane about a mile from
:04:21. > :04:28.the city centre, just before 5pm yesterday afternoon.
:04:29. > :04:35.24 hours later, do we know what happened? All that remains to be
:04:36. > :04:39.seen that an incident happened here is the yellow police markings here
:04:40. > :04:43.on the road, but we do note that it was he on Sculcoates Lane that a
:04:44. > :04:47.two`year`old girl ran out into the road and was hit by a car. I
:04:48. > :04:52.understand that she did live on the estate behind me, and eyewitnesses
:04:53. > :04:56.have described to me how she ran out into the road before she was hit.
:04:57. > :05:01.Her family were here and close by at the time, and luckily, there was a
:05:02. > :05:05.PC as Owen the neighbourhood he was one of the first at the scene. It
:05:06. > :05:10.was 852`year`old woman driving a blue Mercedes who hit girl, and she
:05:11. > :05:16.was understandably shaken `` a 52`year`old woman. There was a lot
:05:17. > :05:20.of screaming. The parents were around. There was no screeching of
:05:21. > :05:26.tyres. She apparently run out in the road and got knocked down by a car.
:05:27. > :05:31.The driver was in shock. She could not say anything. I have been
:05:32. > :05:34.speaking to many who live nearby. Although they are saddened by this
:05:35. > :05:39.news, they are not entirely surprised that it has happened on a
:05:40. > :05:43.road like this. There is a 30 mph speed limit, but as you can see,
:05:44. > :05:48.this electronic sign behind me, the only thing that is registering
:05:49. > :05:52.speed, and the only speed control in this area, and many residents are
:05:53. > :05:56.calling for a reduction in that speed limit to 20 mph. At about 5pm
:05:57. > :06:05.you have got traffic all the way down here. You have got loads of
:06:06. > :06:13.kids down here from the estate. It is a bad road. My daughter has had a
:06:14. > :06:19.near miss on it. The latest from Humberside Police this evening, that
:06:20. > :06:23.this little girl is in a comfortable condition in hospital, but we do
:06:24. > :06:27.know that she has been treated for fractures to the body and bad
:06:28. > :06:32.grazing to her face. Now, more than 24 hours since this incident
:06:33. > :06:36.happened, and Elise are keen to speak to anyone who might have seen
:06:37. > :06:43.what happened here. `` police are keen.
:06:44. > :06:48.More stories now from around our area.
:06:49. > :06:51.A man from Grimsby who committed a number of sex offences over a 16

:07:12. > :07:16.training centre to recreate flooding. The ?3 million site could
:07:17. > :07:20.be told in Grimsby. It would be the first of its kind and include a
:07:21. > :07:26.water tank, enough to submerge vehicles. Last December, more than
:07:27. > :07:30.1000 homes and businesses along the River Humber were affected by a
:07:31. > :07:35.tidal surge. It is not a question of if these events will happen in the
:07:36. > :07:39.future, it is when. We need to be as prepared as we can be. Humberside
:07:40. > :07:45.suffers from all the different types of flooding, including tidal surges.
:07:46. > :07:49.We need to make sure we are the best prepared in the country. A decision
:07:50. > :07:53.is expected this evening on plans for nearly 1500 homes in Sleaford. A
:07:54. > :07:58.developer and would include a primary school, health centre and
:07:59. > :08:01.shops. The council is recommending the plans go ahead, despite some
:08:02. > :08:10.concerns about an increase in traffic to the area.

:08:21. > :08:24.And, the soundtrack to success. The Hull city fans hoping to send their
:08:25. > :08:29.side to victory in the FA Cup final. We want all the fans to get involved
:08:30. > :08:43.more all singing and chanting at Wembley. They can certainly make a
:08:44. > :08:47.difference. Tonight's picture is a real stunner.
:08:48. > :08:52.If you have got a picture you are proud of, do send it in.
:08:53. > :08:55.Electronically is best for us these days because we are high`tech!
:08:56. > :09:08.Now, the weather. We started the day of on a cloudy
:09:09. > :09:12.note, but it did brighten up. It will be a repeat performance through
:09:13. > :09:22.tomorrow. It was a fairly cloudy start, particularly across the hills
:09:23. > :09:27.and along the coast. But it did brighten up and we got some good
:09:28. > :09:29.spells of sunshine, and it did feel quite pleasant with the breeze
:09:30. > :09:32.remaining quite light. This evening it will stay mostly dry, but again,
:09:33. > :09:34.missed and fog rolling in once again. The breeze will remain light
:09:35. > :09:40.overnight, temperatures not much lower than seven or eight degrees.
:09:41. > :09:50.Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise at 5:29am. It will be a pretty
:09:51. > :09:55.similar start to tomorrow morning. Cloudy, misty and murky with sea fog
:09:56. > :09:59.and hill fog, and there could be the odd isolated shower as we head
:10:00. > :10:04.through the morning. It will gradually brighten up, but it will
:10:05. > :10:09.be a slow process. Good spells of sunshine later in the day. For most
:10:10. > :10:14.it should remain dry with just the odd shower possible. Coolest on the

:10:54. > :10:59.An energy company that wants to build a wind farm with some of the
:11:00. > :11:54.tallest wind turbines in the country has been setting out its plans this
:11:55. > :11:56.Lincoln Cathedral is 272 foot tall. A wind farm development in North
:11:57. > :13:08.Yorkshire has national importance, which means it
:13:09. > :13:12.is Westminster that ultimately decides whether it will go ahead,
:13:13. > :13:15.rather than the local District Council that normally rules on
:13:16. > :13:25.planning applications. Developers need a presentation today. They say
:13:26. > :13:33.they expect to submit a formal planning application by the end of
:13:34. > :13:37.next year. Join me now is Matt Smith from
:13:38. > :13:46.renewables UK, the organisation that presents the renewables industry. Up
:13:47. > :13:52.to 22 turbines, should local people welcome this wind farm? They should
:13:53. > :13:57.because wind energy is helping us to have an affordable source of power.
:13:58. > :14:01.What the developers are doing is absolutely right, coming in early,
:14:02. > :14:04.talking to the community, setting out its plans and listening to what
:14:05. > :14:08.people say, and the planning process will test that scheme and make sure
:14:09. > :14:13.it is the right scheme for this location. What do you say to locals
:14:14. > :14:18.who don't want this wind farm? It is best that they look at the proposals
:14:19. > :14:23.that are on the table and engage with what is happening at the
:14:24. > :14:28.moment. Equally, the need to realise that wind is supported, so there is
:14:29. > :14:33.a poll out today from the government showing that 70% of the population
:14:34. > :14:38.support wind. Yes, you said today that public support for onshore wind
:14:39. > :14:44.is that record levels. That is a poll that the government released
:14:45. > :14:48.today. The government needs to take stock. Last week, the energy
:14:49. > :14:51.minister said there was a lack of support for onshore wind, yet their
:14:52. > :14:58.own data says there is. You say that, but the wind farm bubble has
:14:59. > :15:01.burst, hasn't it? The Prime Minister said last week that financial
:15:02. > :15:07.incentives should not be in place any longer than necessary. I think
:15:08. > :15:13.12% of the population say they oppose onshore wind. People see it
:15:14. > :15:17.as a workable, positive technology. People back onshore wind ahead of
:15:18. > :15:22.other... At Lincolnshire has already got 22 wind farms. It is one of the
:15:23. > :15:26.three top areas in the UK for wind farms. Hasn't it done is fair
:15:27. > :15:31.share? The planning decision has to look at humour at its capacity. But
:15:32. > :15:36.companies will come in, set out their plans, and they are doing a
:15:37. > :15:41.lot of work to engage and support the local supply chain. What do you
:15:42. > :15:48.say to those watching tonight who don't want them? Look at the plans,
:15:49. > :15:53.engage, but be aware that wind is a big part of our energy for the
:15:54. > :15:57.future. Thank you for joining us. We would
:15:58. > :16:19.be keen to hear your views on this one. Do get in touch.
:16:20. > :16:27.We had a big response to Humberside Police cracking down on begging.
:16:28. > :16:31.Charities say that 200 people in the area have no permanent address, but
:16:32. > :16:34.police say most people who are begging are spending the money to
:16:35. > :16:40.fund drink or drug habits. They say some beggars make as much as ?400 a
:16:41. > :16:46.week. We heard yesterday that somebody and ?160 in half a day.
:16:47. > :16:49.Thank you to all your comments. " I struggle to believe that beggars

:17:12. > :17:19.Thank you for all your comments. It is hoped that flights at East
:17:20. > :17:23.Midlands Airport will resume in the next few hours. They have been
:17:24. > :17:28.suspended all day after a cargo plane lost part of its undercarriage
:17:29. > :17:32.and became stranded on the runway in the early hours of this morning.
:17:33. > :17:36.Dozens of flights have been cancelled, and thousands of

:17:51. > :17:53.plane. The freighter plane lay stranded on the runway at East
:17:54. > :17:58.Midlands Airport after landing from Paris at around 2:30am. The owners
:17:59. > :18:04.of the plane say it is understood that part of the landing gear on the
:18:05. > :18:07.left`hand side failed after it slowed down to exit the runway. It
:18:08. > :18:13.has meant huge disruption for passengers. Buses laid on to other
:18:14. > :18:18.airports by operators Thomson and Jet2. Initially we thought we were
:18:19. > :18:24.leaving earlier than this. We thought we would be leaving at 7am.
:18:25. > :18:29.But that has been a delay, there is a problem with the coach getting us
:18:30. > :18:33.there. We will have to wait and see what happens. The staff have been
:18:34. > :18:39.very informative. We have been told that we have now got to get a gusty
:18:40. > :18:45.Manchester. We are flying out of there instead. But, for Ryanair
:18:46. > :18:49.passengers, a different story. No buses for them. They have two book
:18:50. > :18:54.again, or apply for a refund on mine. We got a text about him it's
:18:55. > :18:59.before we got here to say it was cancelled. We were nearly here. We
:19:00. > :19:03.have been in a queue for nearly three hours. They have not told us
:19:04. > :19:08.anything. We don't know if we are getting a flight today. Late this
:19:09. > :19:12.afternoon, lifting gear was brought in to move the cargo plane, which
:19:13. > :19:17.was carrying parcels, and operated by an Irish company. Air accident

:19:24. > :19:33.Our reporter is at East Midlands Airport. What have officials said?
:19:34. > :19:35.Tonight, there is hope that the lifting operation is well underway
:19:36. > :19:40.and that flights could resume here at about 8:30pm. As you say, people

:19:52. > :19:56.maintained aircraft and have apologised for the inconvenience
:19:57. > :19:59.caused here today. A team of inspectors from the Care
:20:00. > :20:03.Quality Commission are checking hospitals in Lincolnshire over the
:20:04. > :20:06.next three days. It is the first time they have stood side in the
:20:07. > :20:10.county since the trust that runs hospitals was placed in special
:20:11. > :20:16.measures last summer. The trust believe they are making progress. I
:20:17. > :20:20.am anticipating that the team will be able to identify the improvements
:20:21. > :20:24.we have made since last year. But also, it is important that we get
:20:25. > :20:28.across to them that we know we have still got further improvements to
:20:29. > :20:32.make and we understand what those improvements are.
:20:33. > :20:35.Plans to close 30 libraries in Lincolnshire will be considered by
:20:36. > :20:40.the High Court in London in July. The County Council says it needs to

:21:01. > :21:06.be just one match away from a return to the football league. It is a good
:21:07. > :21:10.mood in the camp, quite relaxed, but we are still a couple of days away
:21:11. > :21:16.from the game. Each hour that passes by, nerves will start to kick in. As
:21:17. > :21:18.long as we use that nervous energy well, there is nothing wrong with
:21:19. > :21:23.that. With less than three weeks to go
:21:24. > :21:27.until Hull City face Arsenal, an anthem is being recorded to spur on
:21:28. > :21:30.fans and players. It is being billed as a fun song that all the fans can
:21:31. > :21:51.sing along to. An FA Cup final anthem for the
:21:52. > :22:01.Tigers. Sector to the Toy Dolls version of Chamakh Nellie the
:22:02. > :22:08.Elephant. It is a cheesy song. Nellie the elephant is the perfect
:22:09. > :22:15.song for what we are doing. It is quite a simple song, simple lyrics,
:22:16. > :22:21.and in a matter of two or three lessons, hopefully everyone will be
:22:22. > :22:30.chanting it on the terraces. Supporting the band, a group of
:22:31. > :22:34.loyal fans. I think it is nice to do it for this occasion. I think the
:22:35. > :22:39.song is all right, and these people are working hard for it. It has got
:22:40. > :22:48.a catchy tune. Hopefully it will be a good day and they will be singing
:22:49. > :23:01.it when they win the FA Cup. # Tigers are roaring, destiny is
:23:02. > :23:08.calling... # football anthems may lift the spirits in the stands, but
:23:09. > :23:11.success has not necessarily followed on the pitch.
:23:12. > :23:23.The England team has quite a back catalogue of hits, from world in

:23:30. > :23:38.# Vindaloo... # All did well in the charts, but England did not bring
:23:39. > :23:44.back a trophy. Do you think this could really make
:23:45. > :23:49.a difference? Definitely, not only are we going to win the FA Cup, but
:23:50. > :23:52.I think we have got a number one hit record on our hands. The song is
:23:53. > :23:56.available to download on Friday, with all proceeds going to charity.
:23:57. > :24:04.Come May 17, those behind it hoped fans will be in fine voice, sparing

:24:46. > :24:56.A big response after we talked about the plans for a wind farm. Chris
:24:57. > :25:01.says" people in Lincolnshire are against the modern, clean way to

:25:13. > :25:18.halve the amount of electricity used, then maybe they would have a
:25:19. > :25:21.case". Tom says he is sick of people complaining about wind farms,
