Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
The cost of injuries at school ` councils here pay out more than ?1 | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Schools aren't prepared now to do things they did outside | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
the main curriculum because there are risks associated with it. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
The East Yorkshire church that's said no to having a woman vhcar | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
Tesco tell shoppers in Immingham we're not abandoning plans | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Bomber crews gather in Lincolnshire more than 70 years | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
More than ?1.3 million has been paid out by councils in East Yorkshire | :00:48. | :01:19. | |
and Lincolnshire for children injured at school. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Parents have successfully sted local authorities for trapped fingers | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
in a desk, falls in the plaxground and sunstroke on a school trip. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Some argue there's a lack of supervision in schools | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
while others say a compensation culture is damaging education. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Our correspondent Sarah Corker has more. | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
Playground games and the bulps and grazes that come with them are | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
all part of growing up but some accidents at school are proving | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
In five years, payouts and legal fees have cost | :01:50. | :02:01. | |
Including in Lincolnshire, ?12,000 to a pupil | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
injured when a classmate fell onto them from a climbing frame. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
?8000 for a child hit in thd face by a hockey stick. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
In Hull, more than ?1000 was paid out to a pupil hurt playing tag | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
But it cost the council ?14,000 in legal fees. | :02:15. | :02:27. | |
It is to the notice of what is happening. I think it can only | :02:28. | :02:41. | |
damage the experience of chhldren at school. | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
At the Oasis Academy in Immhngham there are strict health | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
The principal says its sometimes solicitors who push | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
There is an opportunist approach perhaps where there's been | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
Really, through contacting parents who may | :03:01. | :03:12. | |
have intially been accepting that these accidents do happen, being | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
encouraged to pursue a clail and try to look into a blame culturd. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Back in the '60s, children played on concrete pipes | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
and glass windows, provided by the council, as a low`cost play ground. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
Health and safety would stop that now. | :03:23. | :03:40. | |
We got quite a depressing mdssage from many schools, particul`rly | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
state schools, that schools aren't prepared now to do the things they | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
did outside the curriculum because there are risks associated with it. | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
I'm very concerned that we're robbing children of their childhood. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
There were some unusual payouts ` sunstroke on school trip, | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
post falling on child's head, a burnt finger from a laptop. | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
So is this a compensation ctlture or health and safety failings? | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
A personal injury lawyer in Grimsby told me these claims are rare | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Slips and trips ` aren't thdy just a part of growing up and being a kid? | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Not necessarily when it's somebody else's f`ult | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
And that slip or trip could be prevented | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
and that slip or trip has pdrhaps caused a fairly significant injury. | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
While regulations have made schools arguably much safer | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
in recent decades, they may also have made them less adventurous | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
Gill who's written about risks children take. | :04:26. | :04:39. | |
I think it is undeniable th`t is a much greater worry about chhldren. | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
It is about claims and the perception of risk. The figtres seem | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
to suggest that the problem is reducing what is undeniable is this | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
wider anxiety that is leading teachers, parents and counchls to | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
quickly to get too focused on what might go wrong and to forget that a | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
rounded childhood is one whhch children have some freedom `nd can | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
take some responsibility for themselves. At the parents laking | :05:13. | :05:25. | |
the schools are averse to rhsk? At the heart of the problem is this | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
confusion and that we are forgetting what a good sheltered looks like. I | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
can remember just how valuable it is to have some adventures and play and | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
take some risks and learn your boundaries and I think a lot of this | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
problem would be tackled if we just revived that sense of the v`lue of | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
risk and the health and safdty executives have made statemdnts | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
about the value of letting children take risks that it will takd time to | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
turn this around. Are some of the claims such as been burnt bx a | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
computer or hit by a hockey stick acceptable? I do agree that some of | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
the cases sound as if peopld have caved in without taking the court | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
action properly. But the good news is that as more guidance note for | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
the need for a balanced approach and more schools are confident `bout | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
taking their children out in learning environments such `s the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
forest Alderwood and in public play areas you're actually seeing more | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
challenging and more exciting playgrounds and I'm sure yot have | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
seen some of those in your region because we have realised th`t we | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
have gone too far. We want to hear from you on this | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
story, do you think the 'compensation culture' is a problem? | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
Maybe you think there should be compensation if children get | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
injured? In a moment: Two Lincolnshire MPs | :07:10. | :07:40. | |
get new jobs as David Cameron reshuffles his | :07:41. | :07:41. | |
ministers. In one Spanish, the congreg`tion are | :07:42. | :08:09. | |
insisting that when the pridst leaves he is | :08:10. | :09:05. | |
Some people would say this hs outdated. Not everything has to do | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
with Bates. Belief in God h`s nothing to do with what the times | :09:10. | :09:31. | |
are. ``with dates. Six other churches would be affected `s well. | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Not all the congregation ard happy with this. Why should they not have | :09:38. | :09:55. | |
a woman priest. I don't think it should be allowed. There ard those | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
that agree that despite this in devoting in favour of women priests | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
that people should be allowdd the right to say no. As a church, we | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
have made a decision for those who cannot accept that ministry to | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
remain in the church and be served by an male priest. It is part of | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
honouring that decision that enables us to do this. This parish has made | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
it clear that women need not apply to Garten. The new rules cole into | :10:41. | :11:13. | |
effect in November and the church will have to reconsider its | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
position. But it is thought that the yes vote for female bishops will | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
encourage women into the cldrgy but it is also thought that any women | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
coming here will not get a job in this place for the next sevdral | :11:33. | :11:44. | |
years. Do you have a view on this? Should congregations be abld to put | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
a block on women priests? The Crown Prosecution Service has | :11:47. | :12:03. | |
confirmed charges have been dropped disturbance at an anti`fracking | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
camp. John Mager who used to be director at East Riding Council ` | :12:10. | :12:19. | |
and his wife Valerie, a forler teacher ` were arrested at the camp | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
at Walkington near Beverley while police were escorting lorrids onto | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
the neighbouring gas explor`tion site. The CPS says there was | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
"insufficient evidence." An ASDA supermarket could bd built | :12:28. | :12:41. | |
in Louth if the council votds to sell the former Cattlemarket site. | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
15companies put bids in for the land land after council officials in East | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Lindsey recommend it's sale. Critics believe a large supermarket will | :12:51. | :12:51. | |
damage local businesses. A signalling fault that caused hours | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
of delays for travellers in and out of Hull last night was causdd by an | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
attempted cable theft. Brithsh Transport Police say they'rd | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
continuing their investigathons today after the cable was ctt at the | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Hessle Road junction. Hull's ice arena is to closd over | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
the summer holidays because of changes to regulations. The venue's | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
refrigeration system needs to be replaced. The City Council hs | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
talking to Hull Stingrays Ice Hockey team to find a different venue for | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
their pre`season preparations. The final stages of work to remove a | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
tidal power generator which had been abandoned in the Humber are | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
underway. It was originally installed to provide electrhcity to | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
power The Deep, but the company behind the project went into | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
liquidation last year. Residents and businesses | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
in Immingham say it's desperately needed ` but Tesco has delaxed | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
coming to Immingham to create won't now be availble | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
for the festive season. It also leaves the town without | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
a supermarket Tesco says profits are fallhng | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
and they're halting the opening of Supermarket giant Tesco has | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
navigated its way into most towns and cities ` but | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
in Immingham they're still waiting. Many residents travel more than | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
eight miles to Grimsby to do It takes 20 minutes to get to Tesco. | :14:06. | :14:27. | |
Grimsby or Scunthorpe at thd nearest. | :14:28. | :14:59. | |
deyaled coming to the site until next summer ` a disappointment | :15:00. | :15:20. | |
There's a lot riding on Tesco ` shops surrounding the development | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
Tesco has always been a major player on the high street ` but ovdr | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
the last two years profits have dropped, and they're now opdning | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
But it's still left people concerned about the delay. | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
Despite reassurances, residents just hope the grocer isn't | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
I don't think they will comd. I do not think they will. | :15:51. | :16:12. | |
II Bomber crews reunited in Lincolnshire 70 years after their | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
And the plan to bring high culture to rural Lincolnshire. | :16:21. | :16:37. | |
At the says that your forehdad and there's not a move. | :16:38. | :17:31. | |
There will be a lot of cloud at times but that is now breakhng up. | :17:32. | :17:53. | |
We will see temperatures coling in at around about 12 Celsius or 1 | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
Celsius. That is around 55 Fahrenheit. The sun will rise just | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
before five o'clock in the lorning. High water time will be just before | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
quarter to ten. It will be ` lovely morning with lots of sun and blue | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
sky and it stays bright and warm through the morning and into the | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
afternoon but clouds will thicken and by the end of the day that is a | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
risk of a few sharp downpours especially crossed East Yorkshire | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
and some western parts of Lincolnshire. To the south ht should | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
stay dry and this is where the highest temperatures will bd. It | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
will not be too bad over thd East Riding. It will be 25 degreds in | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
Kingsland, that is 77 degreds fire in height. Thursday looks w`rm with | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
high is nearly up to 80 Fahrenheit but with the warmth and humhdity | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
through Friday into Saturdax is quite a high risk of thunderstorms | :18:57. | :18:57. | |
breaking out. new jobs in a reshuffle of David | :18:58. | :19:13. | |
Cameron's government. Nick Boles and John Hayes have been to Downing | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
Street this morning to hear about their roles. Our political dditor | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
Tim Iredale is with me now. Tim what jobs has the Prime Minhster | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
given them? Nick Boles Has been given a new role | :19:33. | :19:58. | |
as Minister with responsibility for things such as adult skills and | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
apprenticeships and politic`l commentators always describdd him as | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
part of the inner circle of David Cameron. This will be seen `s a | :20:08. | :20:20. | |
promotion for him. John Hayds Has been a bit of a political agenda in. | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
And is now a senior minister in the Department for Transport so he will | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
have a big say about how much money is spent on new roads and r`il | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
projects and many will argud that the transport infrastructurd of | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
Lincolnshire is largely inadequate so some may say that his largest | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
challenge will be in his own backyard. | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
They carried out thousands of raids over Germany during the Second World | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
War and today veterans from 106 Squadron in Lincolnshire have | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
gathered for what is likely to be their last reunion. The grotp lost | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
59 Lancaster bombers while based at RAF Metheringham in 1943. Some | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
surviving members of the sqtadron have travelled from as far `s Canada | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
to their former air base. Gdmma Dawson reports. | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
This would have been a familiar sight here ` during the Second World | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
War. But today's flypast by the Lancaster | :21:16. | :21:30. | |
is bringing back memories for the men from 106 Squadron. | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
Alfred who spent three months here in 1944. | :21:33. | :21:48. | |
I liked my time here, even though it was war. The camaraderie with the | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
fellows on the base was trelendous. No matter weather you were Dnglish | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Canadian, you were all thrown together any pile and you m`de it | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
work and did work. carried out hundreds of raids over | :22:06. | :22:17. | |
Germany. Today the remaining veterans gathered at their old | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
airfield. We were looking at a photograph that | :22:23. | :22:43. | |
was taken in March 1944. Most of them did not make it. I was very | :22:44. | :22:53. | |
lucky. Every year at this thme we have our reunion day. | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
But organisers believe this could be the final time that many ard able to | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
We've had a lot of messages after the National Flood Forum sahd more | :23:02. | :23:19. | |
money needs to be spent protecting homes and businesses across East | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Skegness was hit by flash floods agahn on | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
Sunday. One hotel in the town says it will now lose thousands of | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
pounds' worth of business. Well, lets take a look at some of | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
your thoughts.Ray in Beverldy says: "The authorities are quick to blame | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
global warming rather than their own maintenance of the drainage systems. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
We live in the sticks with no mains drainage. We have soak`aways, | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
ditches and dykes to clear the rainwater, and we don't get | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
flooded.Mr Harrison from Bedford says: "I worked for the Rivdr Board | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
for 41 years and we dredged the drains every five years. For the | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
last 20 years, I don't think we ve seen a dredging machine. We've seen | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
machines working, taking wedds out, but not dredging.And Daz suggests: | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
"There is money in flooding. Everybody profits except thd | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
insurers and the property owners who have to make a claim." | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
It's a challenge for many pdople in rural Lincolnshire ` how to get | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
involved in art when your ndarest gallery is as much as a couple of | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
hours' drive away. But a new project is trying to overcome that problem | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
by bringing art to the people. And what better way to do than to put it | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
on a lorry that travels across the whole country. Here's our Arts | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
This is not your average artwork. It is around 40 feet long and has been | :24:24. | :24:37. | |
specially commissioned to travel round by Laurie. There is a | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
particular audience that gods to galleries. `` by lorry. This is the | :24:46. | :25:08. | |
first of ten projects that will be produced to reflect the county of | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
Lincolnshire and bring art of people who live hours away from tr`ditional | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
galleries. There are very fdw galleries and so our approach is | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
rather than spending many mhllions of pounds on building new g`lleries, | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
what we have to do is take the art to world people are so people can | :25:27. | :25:39. | |
engage with it. Some did not give the art a second glance but it | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
turned some heads. My three`year`old is not quite so keen on walking | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
round and art gallery. So h`ving it about you is a nice treat? Xes, | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
wonderful. Looking at something like that is quite nice. This rather | :26:00. | :26:10. | |
unusual artwork will be offhcially revealed in London on Thursday but | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
you may well see it on a ro`d near you for years to come. | :26:14. | :26:23. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlhnes | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
Michael Gove is moved from his post as Education Secretary during | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
His job goes to Nicky Morgan ` one of ten promoted women. | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
Local councils have paid out more than ?1 million in compensation | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
A fine bright morning with sunny spells. | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
A cloudier afternoon, with a risk of a few heavy showers. | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
Very warm, with highs around 24 Centigrade (75 Farenheit(. | :26:52. | :27:10. | |
Ian says compensation claims need to be nipped in the bud sooner rather | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
than later. Another viewer says too much blame and too much clahm | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
culture. Andy in Lincoln saxs why not get the patents to sign a risk | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
disclaimer if they do not whsh to sign then they can find another | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
school. Dave says to blame the parents. They are just after the | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
cash. Compensation culture gone mad. We will have some more on this later | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
on. See you later. | :27:46. | :27:48. |
