:00:48. > :00:50.of pounds a year from drivers who From crazy paving to swimming pool
:00:51. > :00:55.closures, the issues in the battle From near financial ruin to the
:00:56. > :01:00.FA Cup, we look at Hull City's more than a year to see her attacker
:01:01. > :01:29.sentenced has criticised She says more attention is given
:01:30. > :01:34.to the offender than the victim. The judge described the delays
:01:35. > :01:43.as unjustifiable. Caroline Bilton joins me now from
:01:44. > :02:07.where the attack took place in Hull. This attack lasted for up to half an
:02:08. > :02:14.hour. She described the pain that she felt as she was dragged
:02:15. > :02:25.physically across the concrete. She said it was the most horrific thing
:02:26. > :02:31.she had ever felt in her life. The attack had a history of mental
:02:32. > :02:36.health issues and what he did to her left both and mentally scarred. He
:02:37. > :02:45.had me physically pinned to the ground. I try to pull myself back
:02:46. > :03:12.up. He just pushed me to the ground again. Only the arrival of the
:03:13. > :03:20.police stopped the attack. He said the amount of skin that had been
:03:21. > :03:29.scraped from my legs and knees and particular was quite a large part,
:03:30. > :03:33.but that was due to being dragged across the concrete. I still have
:03:34. > :03:39.got scars over a year later, and I've been told that these scars
:03:40. > :03:42.would be with me for life. Rowlands prize pleaded guilty to the
:03:43. > :03:53.attempted rape last March, but it has taken a year to sentence him.
:03:54. > :04:03.The case here at Hull Crown Court has been adjourned 11 times, due in
:04:04. > :04:06.part to an NHS dispute over who was responsible for paying for his care.
:04:07. > :04:09.I feel like I have not been treated as well as I should have. I feel
:04:10. > :04:14.that victims from Mike 's Berry and her not treated as well as the
:04:15. > :04:18.offenders themselves. Victims of crime must come first in our justice
:04:19. > :04:27.system. That is what the justice system is meant to be for, it is
:04:28. > :04:36.about fairness, but Justice must begin to the victims who suffer
:04:37. > :04:41.terrible crimes. The judge today described him as a dangerous
:04:42. > :04:47.individual and he said that he will serve life in a psychiatric unit and
:04:48. > :04:52.imprisoned. What did the judge say about how long this has taken to
:04:53. > :04:58.come to an end? He said that it was unjustifiable, he said it had also
:04:59. > :05:02.added to the victim 's distress and it had made her dead the criminal
:05:03. > :05:07.justice system. He will receive mental health care in the UK, but we
:05:08. > :05:12.have spoken to the Ministry of Justice today and they say that it
:05:13. > :05:13.is likely that he will be likely considered for deportation back to
:05:14. > :05:43.Latvia. The money goes in, but the only
:05:44. > :05:47.way any comes out again is if you Overpay
:05:48. > :05:50.and that your tough luck because And that is how easy it is
:05:51. > :05:56.for the City of Lincoln Council to From the BBC's Freedom
:05:57. > :06:01.of information request, the city of Lincoln Council took
:06:02. > :06:07.an extra ?95,000 last year on the ?3.2 million it takes
:06:08. > :06:11.annually from car parking charges. That is an extra 3% on top of what
:06:12. > :06:18.people should have paid every year. I think that is taking advantage
:06:19. > :06:22.of people unnecessarily. I work in the pub industry,
:06:23. > :06:28.if I overcharged by 3%, So why are
:06:29. > :06:34.the council allowed to do it? Parking,
:06:35. > :06:36.you have got to pay for it anyway, I don't agree with not giving
:06:37. > :06:44.change, but then it is very difficult for them to give change
:06:45. > :06:47.in a machine like that, isn't it? One motoring organisation doesn't
:06:48. > :06:51.think the technology is an excuse. Councils should make it easier to
:06:52. > :06:55.park, not more difficult, not hanging on the money that they
:06:56. > :06:58.are not entitled to. It is not as if Lincoln hasn't got
:06:59. > :07:02.the funds available to invest in new parking machines that might give
:07:03. > :07:05.change or offer an alternative way Lincoln does offer other options,
:07:06. > :07:11.you can pay by phone or use a card, some of the reasons why
:07:12. > :07:15.the council says the amount of annual overspend has actually
:07:16. > :07:20.decreased significantly since 2010. The British Parking Association says
:07:21. > :07:23.providing machines that offer change means bigger machines
:07:24. > :07:27.and more staff to maintain them. And they are more vulnerable
:07:28. > :07:30.to vandalism and thieves. So for the people of Lincoln
:07:31. > :07:33.and her visitors, for now, rising up to technology is
:07:34. > :07:36.your only option if you do not have Let us know what you think of this
:07:37. > :07:49.story. Is it up to the drivers to make sure they have the right change
:07:50. > :07:53.or are Lincoln City Council wrong to have these machines which don't give
:07:54. > :08:12.change? Get in touch. We asked if the council were guilty
:08:13. > :08:19.of overpaying? No, people can pay by credit card, they can pay over the
:08:20. > :08:26.phone. A huge amount of money over paid into your pocket? We have been
:08:27. > :08:36.the amount overpaid last year was a the amount overpaid last year was a
:08:37. > :08:43.figure of under ?67,000, and we have worked hard to reduce that all along
:08:44. > :08:47.the way. We can put people on the moon, why not have a machine that
:08:48. > :08:57.gives change? Most machines are pay on exit machines, they are larger
:08:58. > :09:04.and more complex and we usually have one machine in one car park. Why do
:09:05. > :09:11.you not do that smack the RAC has said this is not an issue? Well if
:09:12. > :09:18.you did your research, the pay and display machinery, they do not
:09:19. > :09:25.provide pay and display machines that give change. That people have
:09:26. > :09:33.not got the money back, it is tough luck, ?300,000 tough luck? ! I would
:09:34. > :09:37.say that any money that is overpaid is reinvested in those car parks and
:09:38. > :09:44.in those public services, and that is far better than I would suggest
:09:45. > :09:47.in what goes into pay and display machines in private operators when
:09:48. > :09:58.it swells the profits of the company. Do you want to get people
:09:59. > :10:01.to do away with money? No, not at all, we encourage people to use
:10:02. > :10:07.car parks, we offer different ways car parks, we offer different ways
:10:08. > :10:13.to pay and that is what we will continue to do. We will continue to
:10:14. > :10:17.do term when the machines, for renewal if we should move to pay on
:10:18. > :10:20.exit, that is something that local businesses and committees have been
:10:21. > :10:21.asking for, but to do that, it would need an investment of about ?1
:10:22. > :10:47.million to switch to pay on exit. Two people have been arrested during
:10:48. > :10:52.an anti`fracking protest at an East The arrests took place as protestors
:10:53. > :10:57.attempted to block the entrance to Around 30 police officers were
:10:58. > :11:01.called to the site after protestors tried to prevent a number of waste
:11:02. > :11:04.water disposal tankers entering. The protestors,
:11:05. > :11:06.who've been camped there since the beginning of the week, are claiming
:11:07. > :11:09.that the owner Rathlin Energy plans to conduct fracking in the area
:11:10. > :11:29.in order to extract shale gas. To local people, a husband and wife,

:11:52. > :11:55.and daughter claim failings in the care service meant her death was
:11:56. > :11:58.needlessly painful and distressing Our health correspondent,
:11:59. > :12:09.Vicky Johnson reports. Two months later, the family are
:12:10. > :12:17.still distressed by the way that she died. She was begging over and over
:12:18. > :12:23.again, help me, help me. Enid had suffered from cancer and she was
:12:24. > :12:29.assured by the local palliative care service that they would help to have
:12:30. > :12:34.a dignified, pain`free death. It was not to be. She was told she would
:12:35. > :12:40.have a peaceful death and she would sleep away, but it wasn't the right
:12:41. > :12:44.amount of medicine she was given, because she still woke up. Good
:12:45. > :12:50.palliative care should provide pain relief according to a hospice in the
:12:51. > :12:54.city. Often, we would prescribe medication in the event of the
:12:55. > :13:00.patient having distressing symptoms. That can be done in any health care
:13:01. > :13:04.setting. But even it was not cared for in the hospice, it has been
:13:05. > :13:07.claimed that staff shortages meant she was not given the support
:13:08. > :13:12.needed. The health care partnership that runs the local palliative care
:13:13. > :13:14.service has said they launched a detailed investigation into the
:13:15. > :13:18.complaints from the family, but they complaints from the family, but they
:13:19. > :13:24.say they will not share their findings on the other family have
:13:25. > :13:26.been informed. More than 350,000 people in England need palliative
:13:27. > :13:32.care every year. Around one third still do not get any. And of life,
:13:33. > :13:38.that should just be compassion and care, and that is what it should be
:13:39. > :13:43.about. Some charities are calling for resources to be diverted into
:13:44. > :13:48.the community. We know that a lot of people, it is quite clear, they
:13:49. > :13:53.would prefer to die at home, and given the choice, they would like to
:13:54. > :13:57.be able to do that. It would be great if some of the resources could
:13:58. > :14:00.be directed in that way. This is the week when all of us are encouraged
