:00:00. > :00:00.building society. That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye

:00:00. > :00:07.from me, and Good evening and welcome to BBC Look

:00:08. > :00:12.North. The headlines tonight: Two hospitals told to make urgent

:00:13. > :00:14.improvements. Inspectors say staff shortages are

:00:15. > :00:18.affecting care. Still burning after 24 hours ` why

:00:19. > :00:29.it's not safe to put this fire out yet. I don't want to put a lot of

:00:30. > :00:32.water on that might contaminate. Crowds turn out to see a victorious

:00:33. > :00:41.Scunthorpe United parade through the town.

:00:42. > :00:47.The acorns from Australia that will become hundreds of oak trees in

:00:48. > :00:48.Hull. Don't forget your detailed weather forecasts that follows in

:00:49. > :00:59.the next 15 minutes. East Yorkshire's two main hospitals

:01:00. > :01:01.have been ordered to make urgent improvements after inspectors found

:01:02. > :01:09.that staff shortages were affecting patient care. The team from the

:01:10. > :01:13.health watchdog the Care Quality Commission has also demanded action

:01:14. > :01:16.over allegations of bullying. Management at Hull Royal Infirmary

:01:17. > :01:19.and Castle Hill say they're already addressing some of the issues raised

:01:20. > :01:25.in the report. Vicky Johnson's been looking at the report. What's new

:01:26. > :01:28.about this investigation? This latest CQC inspection is one of

:01:29. > :01:34.the new`style, more thorough investigations. A team of 45

:01:35. > :01:38.specialists spent time in all the main departments at both Castle Hill

:01:39. > :01:41.hospital and the Hull Royal. While some services like critical care and

:01:42. > :01:44.maternity have been rated as "good", inspectors have identified 20 areas

:01:45. > :01:47.where the Trust must now improve. These include a review of incident

:01:48. > :01:50.reporting to ensure staff receive feedback, the cancellation of

:01:51. > :01:53.outpatient clinics must be kept to a minimum and the hospital must ensure

:01:54. > :02:05.there are sufficient qualified staff.

:02:06. > :02:08.Hull's accident and emergency is always busy, but during their

:02:09. > :02:13.three`day visit in February, inspectors found a department

:02:14. > :02:24.struggling to cope. Staff shortages were highlighted as a problem. Union

:02:25. > :02:30.leaders say they're not surprised. We know there is a shortage of

:02:31. > :02:36.qualified staff. A hospital consultant agreed

:02:37. > :02:46.staffing is an issue. We don't seem to have enough nursing staff to look

:02:47. > :02:48.after patients with lots of problems. That is what I think is

:02:49. > :02:51.the real problem. Inspectors were told that bullying

:02:52. > :02:56.was a problem, with some staff feeling pressure to put targets

:02:57. > :03:05.above patient care. Ian Philp, the Trust's chief medical director,

:03:06. > :03:09.insists this is now being tackled. We are going to commission an

:03:10. > :03:15.independent organisation to come and talk to our staff and find out what

:03:16. > :03:18.the problem is. We will not tolerate bullying in the organisation. Staff

:03:19. > :03:20.should feel they come to work and are supported to do the best they

:03:21. > :03:23.can for patients. Inspectors also criticised the

:03:24. > :03:26.practice of patients being moved between wards, often at night. But

:03:27. > :03:33.visitors to Hull Royal today were full of praise for the hospital.

:03:34. > :03:38.Excellent service all the time I have been here. I have been coming

:03:39. > :03:45.for quite awhile and I can't fault them my care. I had a heart attack

:03:46. > :03:48.last year. They kept me alive. He has had a kidney transplant, and

:03:49. > :03:51.they could not have been any better. Today's report comes just over two

:03:52. > :03:54.weeks after the former chief executive Phil Morley resigned.

:03:55. > :03:57.Officials have refused to link his departure with the criticisms made.

:03:58. > :04:03.Instead, managers say they're already working on the improvements

:04:04. > :04:05.needed. The Trust has already announced ?1

:04:06. > :04:10.million investment to recruit more nurses. Plus they're working with

:04:11. > :04:14.other organisations to tackle bullying and to improve incident

:04:15. > :04:17.reporting. Earlier I spoke to Kath Lavery from

:04:18. > :04:30.Healthwatch, who represent the interests of patients. I asked her

:04:31. > :04:32.if she was surprised by the findings of the Care Quality Commission

:04:33. > :04:40.report? With much of it, no. We've known of

:04:41. > :04:44.the pressures in A for some time. But the staff shortages problems I

:04:45. > :04:47.think were a surprise in their depth and breadth across the organisation.

:04:48. > :04:51.This is a damning report. Are the people of Hull and East Yorkshire

:04:52. > :04:54.being let down by the trust? The report does say that the staff and

:04:55. > :04:58.the organisation is very caring, they have got good screens across

:04:59. > :05:00.that indicators. They're saying the services are effective. A hospital

:05:01. > :05:04.needs three things ` a building, equipment and staff, and you haven't

:05:05. > :05:07.got the staff. They are not mine. Well, they haven't got the staff.

:05:08. > :05:11.But the staff that are there are delivering caring services that are

:05:12. > :05:15.effective, but how long can they continue to do that when they are

:05:16. > :05:19.obviously short staffed? What are you going to be doing as

:05:20. > :05:32.HealthWatch? What will you be saying to the trust? Have you got enough

:05:33. > :05:36.teeth? Yes, I think we do, and already, we have been invited in. We

:05:37. > :05:40.have been asked to be part of the solution by the new team at the

:05:41. > :05:44.acute trust, which is very good. Our job is to find out what the public

:05:45. > :05:48.think. You know what the public think about A and now they hear

:05:49. > :05:51.junior doctors are being forced to undertake procedures they are not

:05:52. > :05:54.qualified to do so. That will frighten people. I don't think they

:05:55. > :05:56.should be frightened. I think they should be ready to give their

:05:57. > :05:59.opinions when HealthWatch Kingston`upon`Hull, HealthWatch East

:06:00. > :06:02.Riding of Yorkshire Council go out there to do that in`depth survey and

:06:03. > :06:16.meeting with people. That's a talking shop. No, it's not. You've

:06:17. > :06:20.got to find out. Well, this tells you what you need. You need more

:06:21. > :06:32.people. It does, but that is the CQC's report. What we have to find

:06:33. > :06:36.out, from my point of view, is what 300,000 people in Hull think and

:06:37. > :06:39.believe and have experience of in that trust. We got to get all

:06:40. > :06:43.together, with the East Ridings findings, go into the trust and make

:06:44. > :06:55.sure that is respected when it comes to a solution. I wish you well with

:06:56. > :07:02.that. Very good to speak to you. Let us know what you think of this

:07:03. > :07:03.story. Maybe you or a member of your family has been there. If you're a

:07:04. > :07:18.patient, is your voice being heard? A ?100 million investment in

:07:19. > :07:21.Sleaford Town Centre has moved a step closer after Tesco confirmed

:07:22. > :07:28.its commitment to building a new supermarket and link road in the

:07:29. > :07:31.town. The district council says it will bring much needed investment to

:07:32. > :07:35.Sleaford, but not everyone is happy with the plans, as Jake Zuckerman

:07:36. > :07:42.reports. Sleaford's recreation ground. Land

:07:43. > :07:46.North Kesteven district council says must be sacrificed for the good of

:07:47. > :07:49.the town. It's a saga that's dragged on since 2009, when Tesco won

:07:50. > :07:53.planning permission for a new store on this disused site. In order to

:07:54. > :07:57.connect the new Tesco with the rest of the town, the company is paying

:07:58. > :08:00.for a link road that will cross the town's recreation ground ` and will

:08:01. > :08:12.also allow new flats, offices and shops to be built at the derelict

:08:13. > :08:16.bass maltings. They need a strip of land here on the recreation ground.

:08:17. > :08:20.The mature trees behind me would have to be felt, at the town council

:08:21. > :08:27.that owns the land is refusing to sell it. The district council plans

:08:28. > :08:41.to force them to sell. We would like to see Sleaford grow and develop and

:08:42. > :08:46.be the type of market Many in the town oppose the scheme, which would

:08:47. > :08:52.also see this level crossing closed to traffic. But restaurant owner

:08:53. > :09:07.Martin Crute says the scheme is long overdue. Town we want. Tesco has

:09:08. > :09:18.confirmed plans to go ahead. It's a statement of intent that

:09:19. > :09:26.gives the district council the confidence to move forward with

:09:27. > :09:29.compulsory purchase. Fire crews say they could be dealing with a fire at

:09:30. > :09:38.a recycling centre in Scunthorpe for another two days. The fire, which

:09:39. > :09:41.started yesterday evening, is now under control but there's been more

:09:42. > :09:59.disruption in the area during the day, as Simon Spark reports. The

:10:00. > :10:11.fire could be seen over ten miles away. Flames are still visible from

:10:12. > :10:16.inside the building. There are wider issues and good reasons why the Fire

:10:17. > :10:34.Service cannot simply put this out. What I don't want to do is put a lot

:10:35. > :10:37.of water on that might contaminate. It is having an effect on

:10:38. > :10:47.businesses. It is affecting everybody in the area. What can we

:10:48. > :10:52.do? Some haven't been able to open at all and can only watch and wait.

:10:53. > :10:57.The Thomson family told is that despite attempts by members of the

:10:58. > :11:01.family, the blaze took hold before the Fire Service arrived. One of the

:11:02. > :11:06.sons was treated for smoke inhalation. They say they are

:11:07. > :11:15.distraught. This evening, it is still unclear how long the Fire

:11:16. > :11:21.Service will need to stay on scene. They say it is likely to run into

:11:22. > :11:31.Thursday, possibly Friday before this fire is fully extinguished. An

:11:32. > :11:36.investigation has begun after a 77`year`old man died when his car

:11:37. > :11:43.was hit by the train on a level crossing. The train driver has been

:11:44. > :11:46.treated for shock. None of the passengers were hurt. The line was

:11:47. > :11:50.closed until early afternoon. 80 jobs could go at a turkey factory

:11:51. > :11:53.near Grimsby. Lincs Turkeys in Grainthorpe, which is owned by

:11:54. > :12:05.Bernard Matthews, is likely to close as a consultation begins with its

:12:06. > :12:08.workforce. The company says it's because of fewer Christmas orders.

:12:09. > :12:34.The farming operation in Grainthorpe will remain unchanged.

:12:35. > :12:48.It is the 10th anniversary of the sat now.

:12:49. > :12:57.Is it? We will that headline. `` we will

:12:58. > :13:03.look at the headline. There will be some patchy rain spreading north

:13:04. > :13:12.eastwards later. Before that, dry intervals but this system will push

:13:13. > :13:23.its rain late in the day. The next few days look very unsettled with

:13:24. > :13:28.heavy downpours. You can see, clouds were moving in from the West. A

:13:29. > :13:35.number of showers were pushing down the Humber area. As a general rule,

:13:36. > :13:41.most of the showers will die away by dawn. Just the odd one left by the

:13:42. > :13:56.end of the night. Lowest temperatures at 10 Celsius. That is

:13:57. > :14:02.50 degrees Fahrenheit. One or two showers are possible at first. There

:14:03. > :14:07.will be some bright intervals. Clouds gradually increasing and

:14:08. > :14:16.patchy rain in places. There will be dry and bright interludes. The fresh

:14:17. > :14:21.south`west wind will ease down tomorrow. Top temperatures, around

:14:22. > :14:24.13 for the East Riding and northern parts of Lincolnshire, and 14 for

:14:25. > :14:30.central and southern Lincolnshire into north`west Norfolk. That rain

:14:31. > :14:40.tomorrow will clear away. A brighter day on Friday but it is quite

:14:41. > :14:42.unstable. Saturday, we might have a dry start but heavy rain will spread

:14:43. > :14:50.north eastwards through the course of the day. Quite a cool day on

:14:51. > :14:56.Sunday with some showery outbreak. Peter, that is the forecast.

:14:57. > :15:04.Bobby says, Paul has more days off than Father Christmas, but it means

:15:05. > :15:16.we see more of clearly Donovan. Say nothing. See you tomorrow.

:15:17. > :15:20.Hundreds of oak trees are to be grown as part of Hull's 2017 City of

:15:21. > :15:23.Culture celebrations. The acorns to grow them are returning to the city

:15:24. > :15:28.after being gathered from trees in Western Australia. Those trees were

:15:29. > :15:32.grown by some of the first settlers there, who had taken acorns from

:15:33. > :15:38.East Yorkshire to their new home in the 1800s. Jo Makel has the story.

:15:39. > :15:48.On the other side of the world, in Western Australia, the autumn winds

:15:49. > :15:52.had shaken down hundreds of acorns. They've been gathered to be shipped

:15:53. > :15:56.to Hull, and in a way sent back to their historical home, because they

:15:57. > :15:59.come from these old oak trees near Perth. The settlers who established

:16:00. > :16:02.this farm nearly 200 years ago were from East Yorkshire. The Hardy

:16:03. > :16:07.family and other families actually left England from Hull. They brought

:16:08. > :16:10.with them acorns, from which these magnificent oak trees were

:16:11. > :16:13.propagated and grown, and we are now able to use them as a vehicle for

:16:14. > :16:19.re`establishing a cultural connection between the two places.

:16:20. > :16:26.And a few days ago, the acorns arrived. There we are. It's here at

:16:27. > :16:33.the university's botanic gardens that they'll be planted and grown.

:16:34. > :16:38.Two years ago, they successfully propagated a smaller number of

:16:39. > :16:41.saplings from Australia. Two were planted on Holme on Spalding moor,

:16:42. > :16:45.where some of the emigrants came from. This time, they're hoping to

:16:46. > :16:49.succeed with around 400, to be used in a project for the City of Culture

:16:50. > :16:53.celebrations. This is a real reminder of the past. Hull's got a

:16:54. > :16:58.remarkable number of links with every country almost in the world.

:16:59. > :17:03.We should celebrate this, especially as part of 2017. Where the trees

:17:04. > :17:07.will go hasn't been finalised, but the City of Culture organisers are

:17:08. > :17:13.working with artists and a number of environmental projects. The oak

:17:14. > :17:16.trees could form part of what they are calling Growing Gateways to the

:17:17. > :17:23.City. It fits with the international dimensional to the programme, it

:17:24. > :17:28.fits with the legacy. It is fantastic. It's absolutely lovely,

:17:29. > :17:36.but it's kind of unusual. It's a slightly quirky sort of situation.

:17:37. > :17:39.Hull tends to celebrate its quirkiness, and these acorns not

:17:40. > :17:52.only bring history full circle but will provide a lasting reminder of

:17:53. > :17:56.2017. The southbound carriageway of the Humber Bridge is closed due to

:17:57. > :18:01.an overturned car. Emergency services are at the scene at the

:18:02. > :18:05.moment and there is queueing traffic. Five people been taken to

:18:06. > :18:08.hospital as a precaution after the wrong mixture of chemicals was put

:18:09. > :18:13.into a hotel swimming pool and Lincolnshire. There is concern in

:18:14. > :18:19.health dangerous fumes. Fire crews were called to the hotel in Louth at

:18:20. > :18:26.four o'clock this afternoon. The hotel was close but has now

:18:27. > :18:30.reopened. Steve Bruce says Matthew fired is pushing for a starting

:18:31. > :18:35.place in the FA Cup final. All city lost last night Manchester United.

:18:36. > :18:41.They have one match left of the Premier League campaign before

:18:42. > :18:46.attention turns their biggest match of the season against Arsenal at

:18:47. > :18:50.Wembley. Everybody wants to play in an FA Cup final. The last thing you

:18:51. > :18:57.want is to go in injured. Human nature kicks in. We can't wait. We

:18:58. > :19:03.were disappointed at the weekend. We want to perform well and prove we

:19:04. > :19:09.can play at this level. We have still got games to do and want to do

:19:10. > :19:12.as well as we possibly can. It is unfortunate we were on the losing

:19:13. > :19:15.side. Two swimmers from Lincoln have been named in the England squad for

:19:16. > :19:18.this summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Lizzie Simmonds and Sophie

:19:19. > :19:21.Allen will both compete in the games which start in July. It will be

:19:22. > :19:31.Simmonds' second Commonwealth Games after winning a silver in Delhi four

:19:32. > :19:35.years ago. Thanks for getting in touch after we

:19:36. > :19:38.told you Hull's City of Culture team says it will give work to Hull`based

:19:39. > :19:42.firms, despite criticism it's using a London`based recruitment firm to

:19:43. > :19:45.fill its three top jobs. Hull City Council is paying a national company

:19:46. > :19:48.?60,000 to find a chairperson, a programme director and a chief

:19:49. > :20:51.executive. Here are just a few of your comments.

:20:52. > :20:55.attend a civic reception at Normanby Hall. The trophy was presented to

:20:56. > :21:00.the team in front of hundreds of fans. From here, they boarded buses

:21:01. > :21:04.for an open top two of the town. Russ Wilcox told Simon Spark how

:21:05. > :21:08.important today is for the players and the fans. It is a special day

:21:09. > :21:34.for everybody. smiling from ear to ear ever since.

:21:35. > :21:39.Yes. It has been a crazy week. A very enjoyable week. Topped off

:21:40. > :21:43.nicely fight tonight. What do you have two say to the people of

:21:44. > :21:48.Scunthorpe? Just thanks for your support. They are the life and soul

:21:49. > :21:51.of the football club. People move on but the supporters don't. They are

:21:52. > :22:04.born Scunthorpe fans and they die scum pop fans. `` they die

:22:05. > :22:11.Scunthorpe fans. We have a few pictures of the team on board the

:22:12. > :22:20.buses. You can see a full report later. That will be in our late

:22:21. > :22:26.reports at 10:25pm. Thank you for the pictures that are already in.

:22:27. > :22:31.Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines.

:22:32. > :22:34.Britain's sending a small number of military experts to Nigeria, as more

:22:35. > :22:38.countries offer to help find more than 200 missing school girls. East

:22:39. > :22:41.Yorkshire's two main hospitals are told to make urgent improvements.

:22:42. > :22:41.Inspectors say staff shortages are affecting care.

:22:42. > :23:04.Tomorrow's weather: a big response on the story we had

:23:05. > :23:08.at the top of the programme, the report from the Care Quality

:23:09. > :23:15.Commission, the damning report looking at two hospitals in the

:23:16. > :23:19.area. Steve says, the easy answer is get rid of government targets and

:23:20. > :23:21.get the government to stop forming the government to stop performing

:23:22. > :23:29.unneeded commissions and committees because that could pay for extra

:23:30. > :23:32.staff. Malcolm says, I had heart surgery at Castle Hill three years

:23:33. > :23:41.ago, always super attention from staff and enough staff to cope, I am

:23:42. > :23:45.still good many thanks to them. Karen says, my mother was admitted

:23:46. > :23:49.to the whole Royal infirmary last year and the level of care she

:23:50. > :23:54.received was appalling on three different occasions `` my mother was

:23:55. > :24:05.admitted to the Hull Royal infirmary. She left with no help.

:24:06. > :24:07.She lost ?12 in weight over three months. Sarah said, I have been in

:24:08. > :24:15.Castle Hill and received excellent care, in 2009 I was rushed into

:24:16. > :24:21.their Hull Royal infirmary, where they said my life. Andrea says I was

:24:22. > :24:29.sent home with a migraine, saying I was sure it was a glaucoma task. I

:24:30. > :24:34.could have lost my sides. It is appalling.

:24:35. > :24:43.Thank you for those. We will continue to follow the story. The

:24:44. > :24:50.party is continuing at Normanby Hall as Scunthorpe United enjoyed a civic

:24:51. > :24:57.reception. They seemed unlikely last November when Brian Laws was sacked

:24:58. > :25:00.and Russ Wilcox was left in charge. We will remind ourselves of the

:25:01. > :25:15.highlights of an incredible season. See you tomorrow. I don't think I

:25:16. > :25:22.need to apply. They have seen what they have seen. Over the moon. Russ

:25:23. > :25:28.Wilcox, get in there. Fantastic feeling. Unbelievable. We knew we

:25:29. > :26:01.had a good group. They are the life and soul of the

:26:02. > :26:22.club. They are born Scunthorpe fans and die Scunthorpe fans.

:26:23. > :26:27.'This is the story of Nick Clegg - a man entrusted by a nation

:26:28. > :26:31.'to act upon the policies he proposed.
