:00:00. > :00:00.BBC Look North. Plans to ban street drinking
:00:07. > :00:19.in one Lincolnshire town. Every street corner, corner, people
:00:20. > :00:40.are drinking. It is threatening. A murder investigation begins
:00:41. > :00:43.after a man is shot dead Is this the smallest lamb
:00:44. > :00:54.in the world? Join me for the latest in the
:00:55. > :00:58.weather. Banning drinking
:00:59. > :01:00.in public places will criminalise That's the view of one organisation
:01:01. > :01:05.opposed to a plan for a drinking ban Boston Borough Councillors meet
:01:06. > :01:09.tonight to talk about introducing the ban which comes after police
:01:10. > :01:12.figures show crime linked to daytime drinking is far higher in Boston
:01:13. > :01:15.than the rest of Lincolnshire. In a moment we'll hear
:01:16. > :01:18.from the Freedom Association about their concerns but first Jake
:01:19. > :02:08.Zuckerman reports from the town. a public consultation in which 97%
:02:09. > :02:12.wanted a total ban. Yes, it would be nice in some ways. It is unfortunate
:02:13. > :02:17.for the decent people who might want a picnic with a glass of wine in the
:02:18. > :02:20.park. It has got worse over the past few years. Never seen so many drugs
:02:21. > :02:38.as you see now. Since 2007, Legislation planned for next year
:02:39. > :02:46.will allow a total ban for all alcohol drinking to be imposed in
:02:47. > :02:54.public areas. Some councillors want any plan to cover the entire
:02:55. > :02:59.borough. Helen organises litter patrols, where volunteers constantly
:03:00. > :03:05.find discarded beer cans. I think the impact of a town centre ban will
:03:06. > :03:13.send people to the outlying areas and to their villages, and drink
:03:14. > :03:19.there, on the nature reserves. This police statistics show the scale of
:03:20. > :03:22.the problem. In 2013, 9.1% of all police incident in Boston were
:03:23. > :03:27.alcohol`related. That is considerably higher than the
:03:28. > :03:30.Lincolnshire average of 6.6%. In the last six years, the number of
:03:31. > :03:37.off`licences in the town has increased by more than two thirds,
:03:38. > :03:47.from 35 to 59. Police boat and 96 people in the streets drinking, last
:03:48. > :03:52.year. The older generation sometimes feel it is daunting coming into the
:03:53. > :03:58.town centre, because if there are groups of individuals that are under
:03:59. > :04:03.the influence of alcohol, they feel it is difficult for them to feel
:04:04. > :04:06.secure while there, and shop. While public support for drinking ban in
:04:07. > :04:14.Boston may be high, the legislation to make it possible is still some
:04:15. > :04:18.way off. Councillors may vote for this, but
:04:19. > :04:25.what has been the police response to this? They will have to it.
:04:26. > :04:29.The police and crime commission, Alan Hardwick, says he supports
:04:30. > :04:34.tougher measures to try and prevent irresponsible street drinking, which
:04:35. > :04:39.has a negative impact on society and complete anti`social behaviour. He
:04:40. > :04:43.says tackling it is a high priority for the police, and he has some
:04:44. > :04:47.meetings scheduled soon with local MP Matt Simmons and the State
:04:48. > :05:01.Minister for crime prevention, Norman Baker is, to discuss the
:05:02. > :05:06.specific issues Boston faces. I spoke to Joe Hart about whether a
:05:07. > :05:13.ban on drinking in public everywhere is a good way to reduce anti`social
:05:14. > :05:20.behaviour. Not at all. People are already drink alcohol in public are
:05:21. > :05:23.not going to be dissuaded by this. If drinking ban would stop the drugs
:05:24. > :05:32.and bad behaviour, you would welcome it and it has got to be a good thing
:05:33. > :05:40.hasn't hurt `` stop the drinking and bad behaviour.
:05:41. > :05:44.Filip says, I cannot see why people should be allowed to drink alcohol
:05:45. > :05:49.in public anyway. Weren't many people think like that? I don't
:05:50. > :05:52.think so. When people realise it will restrict their behaviour, they
:05:53. > :05:56.will not be allowed to do things they enjoy in public, like having a
:05:57. > :06:00.picnic and a glass of wine, so they will not be fans of this. Although
:06:01. > :06:07.people do not drink in public like this. It will only affect those who
:06:08. > :06:17.drink and at Berkeley. Those people are already breaking the law.
:06:18. > :06:24.Maybe you don't live in one of these areas were drugs in the street at
:06:25. > :06:31.causing bad behaviour `` where people drinking in the street are
:06:32. > :06:34.causing bad behaviour. They will not have the time to focus on the small
:06:35. > :06:41.number of individuals that cause these problems. But I will be taken
:06:42. > :06:45.up by the somebody having a glass of wine with a picnic in the park,
:06:46. > :06:50.doing something reasonable. When was the last time you sat in a Park
:06:51. > :06:54.having a can of lighter? It is a very small number of people. In
:06:55. > :06:58.summer, I like to have a glass of wine with a picnic in the park. I am
:06:59. > :07:01.responsible. Why should I be criminalised? Very good to talk to
:07:02. > :07:04.you. Do you agree with the
:07:05. > :07:07.Freedom Association that a ban is Or is a blanket ban needed
:07:08. > :07:11.to solve the problem? Is it fair that this should cover
:07:12. > :07:50.everyone We will have some of your responses
:07:51. > :07:53.before the end of the programme. That meeting is tonight and we
:07:54. > :07:56.should have a decision on that in our late bulletin. Thank you for
:07:57. > :08:01.watching. In a moment: Senior politicians make
:08:02. > :08:05.a final scramble for votes ahead of tomorrow's council and Euro
:08:06. > :08:10.elections. Police remain in the quiet
:08:11. > :08:13.East Yorkshire village of Melton tonight after a man was killed
:08:14. > :08:15.there yesterday evening. Officers say he suffered serious
:08:16. > :08:18.injuries and may have been shot. Three people are in police custody,
:08:19. > :08:22.two men and a 15`year`old boy. A massive police presence,
:08:23. > :08:27.road closures in Melton, and last night, extra security
:08:28. > :08:35.at Hull Royal Infirmary. It follows what neighbours described
:08:36. > :08:38.as the sound of gun shots at a house on Melton Old Road
:08:39. > :08:41.at five o'clock yesterday evening. An incident leaving one man dead,
:08:42. > :08:48.and another in hospital with serious,
:08:49. > :08:58.but non`life`threatening injuries. There appears to have been a dispute
:08:59. > :09:05.which has led to these consequences. And we are looking for a firearm? We
:09:06. > :09:17.believe the injuries are consistent with a firearm being discharged. We
:09:18. > :09:25.were sitting with friends in the garden having a few glasses of
:09:26. > :09:30.wine. We heard a bang. It's odd nothing, really. We were just having
:09:31. > :09:38.a drink and then we had lots of silence. For something like that up
:09:39. > :09:48.in our doorstep, it is surprisingly. Two men and a 15`year`old boy remain
:09:49. > :09:54.under arrest. I spoke to the family and mother of the deceased, who came
:09:55. > :09:59.to pay tribute to a son who is now at the centre of a murder enquiry.
:10:00. > :10:02.Scenes of crime officers have been trying to determine the chain of
:10:03. > :10:08.events which led to the injury of one man and the death of another.
:10:09. > :10:15.Not many people knew them. It has been a family dispute, I understand,
:10:16. > :10:19.and it got out of hand. Formal identification of the dead man has
:10:20. > :10:33.still to take place, with police investigations still continuing,
:10:34. > :10:39.although tonight, a family mourns. Hometown`macro has the highest
:10:40. > :10:45.number of repossessions. According to a survey, one in 79 homes was
:10:46. > :10:48.taken back in the last year. Energy companies planning to drill for oil
:10:49. > :10:50.in the Lincolnshire Wolds said there could be 10 million barrels of oil
:10:51. > :11:05.per need the services. A spy plane from RAF Waddington
:11:06. > :11:08.remains grounded after being sent to help search for 200 kidnapped school
:11:09. > :11:11.girls from Nigeria. The Sentinel left Lincolnshire
:11:12. > :11:13.on Sunday morning, but had to land in Senegal
:11:14. > :11:15.because of technical problems. The Ministry of Defence says work to
:11:16. > :11:18.repair the aircraft is continuing. A Typhoon jet
:11:19. > :11:22.from RAF Coningsby has been given a make`over to commemorate the 70th
:11:23. > :11:26.anniversary of D`Day next month. The aircraft has been given
:11:27. > :11:29.the black stripes that all British planes wore to make them easier to
:11:30. > :11:32.recognise and avoid friendly fire. The Typhoon showed off
:11:33. > :11:51.its new paint job this afternoon. The recognisable role of the typhoon
:11:52. > :11:56.was head above the skies of Lincolnshire today `` the
:11:57. > :11:59.recognisable roar. It was performing spectacular moves. There was
:12:00. > :12:08.something different about this fighter. We have put this on for the
:12:09. > :12:22.anniversary of D`day, invasion stripes. The stripes really make
:12:23. > :12:27.this unique. The black and white markings replicate those seen on the
:12:28. > :12:32.Hawker typhoons used in World War II. There are none left in existence
:12:33. > :12:35.that can still fly. One man who knows the importance of those
:12:36. > :12:51.printed on stripes is better and John Byrne. It was for recognition.
:12:52. > :13:05.They fired at anything. By having those on, it was easier to know they
:13:06. > :13:11.were friendly. This modern Typhoon flew alongside this, and original
:13:12. > :13:19.Spitfire that took part in the D`day landings. Spitfire are amazing.
:13:20. > :13:28.They're not difficult fly at all. They were built for careful handling
:13:29. > :13:40.to could concentrate on fighting and not flying. The pilots say it is an
:13:41. > :13:47.honour and a privilege to fly these planes, and they will be doing
:13:48. > :13:50.chateau at eight shows across the country. `` they will be doing so at
:13:51. > :14:10.air shows across the county. Still to come: The plan to repeat
:14:11. > :14:15.the success of the Larkin toes that were dotted around Hull. And small,
:14:16. > :14:22.but not silent. The Lambert could break a record.
:14:23. > :14:32.Small and not silent, tonight's photograph is of sunrise, taken by
:14:33. > :14:43.Emma Anderson. Thank you for that. Another one tomorrow. Quite a few
:14:44. > :14:47.here. Mike in long wrist and said, can you ask your mate what happens
:14:48. > :14:51.to the rain, I did not water on the strength of his forecasts and have
:14:52. > :14:55.hundreds of dead plants, is he going to reimburse me?
:14:56. > :14:58.The forecast was for scattered thunderstorms, and if you look in a
:14:59. > :15:03.dictionary, scattered means scattered, so some people will get
:15:04. > :15:07.them and some people want. We got it wrong, then.
:15:08. > :15:11.Plenty of water tonight for your plans.
:15:12. > :15:15.Bit late now. Are warning of heavy rain. You don't
:15:16. > :15:20.have to water up this evening because there is plenty coming.
:15:21. > :15:25.Tomorrow, the rain is coming a bit more quickly than we thought. There
:15:26. > :15:35.will be a scattering of thunderstorms tomorrow. Trouble has
:15:36. > :15:44.been brewing over France today. The rain has jumped across the Channel.
:15:45. > :15:48.It will move north westwards through the night. Hometown`macro has been
:15:49. > :15:54.about the warmest place in the country today, with around 22
:15:55. > :16:07.Celsius. It is very nice but that we will see cloud thickening. There
:16:08. > :16:26.could be some localised flooding in places. A wet start across these
:16:27. > :16:33.more western areas. The rain will quickly pull away north westwards.
:16:34. > :16:57.We will see a scattering of thunder showers. Top afternoon temperatures,
:16:58. > :17:05.15 or 16. 20 Celsius in Lane. Scattered showers over the weekend.
:17:06. > :17:10.Mike says, I will continue to watch look North four is informed content.
:17:11. > :17:17.As for the weather, I will treat you as a guide. He says, and he is not
:17:18. > :17:21.as pretty as the other presenter. He is not on about you there, is it?
:17:22. > :17:25.No. Today has seen the last full day
:17:26. > :17:29.of campaigning in the Local Politicians have been out
:17:30. > :17:32.in force across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
:17:33. > :17:54.in a last`minute push for votes. After the welcome from his
:17:55. > :17:59.conservative opponents, Ed Miliband tot housing in Lincoln. The house he
:18:00. > :18:05.really wants is the one currently occupied by this man. David Cameron
:18:06. > :18:10.was campaigning a few miles away in your work with Boris Johnson.
:18:11. > :18:14.Council elections will take place tomorrow in Hull, Lincoln and
:18:15. > :18:18.north`east Lincolnshire. A third of council seats in these three
:18:19. > :18:24.authorities will be up for grabs. Meanwhile, voters everywhere can
:18:25. > :18:27.take part in European elections to decide who represents them in the
:18:28. > :18:31.European Parliament. The ballot paper will look something like this.
:18:32. > :18:36.He will put a cross by the party of your choice, and the number of seats
:18:37. > :18:45.that party secures depends on the percentage vote they receive
:18:46. > :18:49.tomorrow. Six MEPs will represent Yorkshire and Humber region. Five
:18:50. > :18:53.MEPs will represent the East Midlands region, covers
:18:54. > :18:57.Lincolnshire. Many people have sent in their ballot papers by post, but
:18:58. > :19:02.I asked some voters in Hull whether they would be making the trip to the
:19:03. > :19:09.polling station. I always vote because if I don't, it is a vote
:19:10. > :19:15.wasted. Are you voting tomorrow? Yes. I will fill the form in and I
:19:16. > :19:21.am ready. Will you be voting tomorrow. No, because I don't
:19:22. > :19:25.believe in any of the parties. At the minute, I will not vote for any
:19:26. > :19:31.of them. I you voting tomorrow? Yes. It is important because the
:19:32. > :19:37.country is going down the pan. It is our democratic right. In order to
:19:38. > :19:44.have an opinion you have to be able to substantiate it. I think it is
:19:45. > :19:52.important. Polling stations will be open from 7am until ten p.m..
:19:53. > :19:55.Thanks for all your comments about the rise in season ticket
:19:56. > :21:00.Russ Wilcox was selling passes for last budget for next season. The
:21:01. > :21:06.fans are the life and soul of the football club. It is nice to give
:21:07. > :21:11.that personal touch. There are some great fixtures look forward to. It
:21:12. > :21:16.is nice to give a bit back. They were big and bright,
:21:17. > :21:19.and they brought ?1 million Now those behind the giant toads
:21:20. > :21:25.that appeared around the city want to repeat their success in time
:21:26. > :21:28.for City of Culture. Four years ago, Hull experienced
:21:29. > :21:31.an amphibian takeover. For ten weeks, the city streets
:21:32. > :21:38.were home to 40 giant toads and visitors loved it, with more than
:21:39. > :21:46.100,000 people coming to see them. It even inspired a similar project
:21:47. > :21:57.in Australia, this time with koalas. We were so inspired by this. It was
:21:58. > :22:03.fun and friendly. It was a family kind of thing. We thought, we will
:22:04. > :22:12.do something inspired by toad but different. There will be artists
:22:13. > :22:16.getting involved and they will be around 70 things dotted around Hull.
:22:17. > :22:21.It is hoped they will be even more successful than the toad 's
:22:22. > :22:26.upbringing in visitors. One person has come up with the idea of which
:22:27. > :22:31.shows that can be transferred `` transformed by each artist. They
:22:32. > :22:35.will move around the place. There is also this concept of caravans. That
:22:36. > :22:45.is a reflection of an amazing industry locally. I am really taken
:22:46. > :22:55.by things coming in and out of the port. I came up with a cute
:22:56. > :23:00.container. The sculpture ideas were on display in Beverley Minster
:23:01. > :23:07.today, but they will tour the county until August, when the final designs
:23:08. > :23:15.will be chosen. What do you think of that? Let me know what you would
:23:16. > :23:16.like to see. I wonder what happened to my toad. I think it went to live
:23:17. > :23:23.in a garden in Hull. Hull is in the top ten
:23:24. > :23:26.of the happiest places to live in the country,
:23:27. > :23:29.according to a survey of 50 thousand Hull came seventh
:23:30. > :23:33.in the whole country. The survey also shows Hull was
:23:34. > :23:51.second only to Harrogate as the It is a great place to live,
:23:52. > :24:00.darling. Very friendly. I came back last week. It is really nice. I love
:24:01. > :24:03.it here and I love the people. We have always got a smile on our
:24:04. > :24:09.faces. It helps everybody else smile. Because of Greek culture 2017
:24:10. > :24:15.and Hull City getting to Wembley, the Derby, it is a fantastic city.
:24:16. > :24:19.One thing after another at the moment. Great news.
:24:20. > :24:23.The owners of a lamb born in Lincolnshire six weeks ago say
:24:24. > :24:25.they think he's the smallest in the world.
:24:26. > :24:29."Titch", who weighed less than half a bag of sugar at birth lives
:24:30. > :24:32.near Spalding and has been adopted by the family dogs.
:24:33. > :24:42.Six weeks old, Titch is Belinda's little lamb.
:24:43. > :24:54.There is no official record for the world's smallest lamb, but this
:24:55. > :25:09.I never thought of worrying him on the first day. I was more concerned
:25:10. > :25:21.about keeping alive. I decided to wear on day four.
:25:22. > :25:26.The other lamb is Titch's cousin, and is a week younger.
:25:27. > :25:33.But Titch prefers the company of the house pets.
:25:34. > :25:39.He identifies with the dogs more, definitely. It follows them round.
:25:40. > :25:43.I'm sure he thinks he is a dog. This home video shows
:25:44. > :25:45.their relationship started early. The dogs licked Titch clean
:25:46. > :25:57.when he was first born He is such a character and so
:25:58. > :26:01.funny. It would be ideal doing films.
:26:02. > :26:04.When he's bigger, Titch will play in the garden, so can eat
:26:05. > :26:10.Which might stop him nibbling everything else!
:26:11. > :26:16.Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines.
:26:17. > :26:22.The Home Secretary told the police Federation to carry out reforms of
:26:23. > :26:26.the government will do it for you. And plans to ban street drinking in
:26:27. > :26:31.Boston, but opponents say it is the wrong approach.
:26:32. > :26:33.Has already drink and are badly are already breaking the law and the
:26:34. > :26:39.police have the powers to deal with them. Adding new rules will not stop
:26:40. > :26:51.that. Tomorrow's weather:
:26:52. > :27:00.Response coming in and drinking in public places. Kieren says, they
:27:01. > :27:10.need to ban the really cheap alcohol sold in shops and supermarkets and
:27:11. > :27:17.lower the cost of jinxing pods. `` lower the cost of drinks in pubs.
:27:18. > :27:21.Sunday else says, there is no need to drink in the street. Another
:27:22. > :27:30.person says, who is going to police it? Sue says, I can see the problem
:27:31. > :27:42.with people drinking in public as long as they behave responsibly. It
:27:43. > :28:09.is being discussed tonight I Boston Borough Council and
