Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

Still on the run ` 150 officers join the search for John Heald, wanted

in connection with the murder of this Bridlington guest housd owner.

We need continued support in the coming hours.

Concerns that police in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are

relying too much on Taser guns to subdue suspects.

It is important we are able to control certain individuals.

Police searching for the killer of a landlady in Bridlington havd

revealed for the first time the scale of the manhunt. 49`ye`r`old

Bei Carter was stabbed in the chest at her guest house on Fridax

evening. 150 officers including armed units are now looking for

53`year`old John Heald who hs suspected of killing her. Kate

Sweeting is in South Yorkshire where the hunt is taking place. K`te, why

are officers focusing their search there?

The police are describing the suspect is extremely dangerous and

telling people to lock their doors and windows when the alert home.

Four. They are also putting up a reward for information that leads to

his arrest. Four days after the murder, he is still at largd. It was

revealed that the victim had only moved to Bedlington two years ago

after living in China. She is a wife after living in China. She is a wife

and a wife and other and thdy are and a wife and other and they are

struggling to come to terms with why this has happened and are n`turally

outraged at what has gone on. They have come back to this country and

set up their guest house in Bedlington, been very happy and

become part of the communitx and this is an outrageous set of

circumstances. This is the man this is an outrageous set of

circumstances. This is the lan that circumstances. This is the man that

police suspect of telling hdr. He police suspect of telling hdr. He

was staying at the guesthouse and was already on the run from police

for another crime at Sheffield. Was enough done to protect the community

in Bridlington from them? I think enough was done because it was

difficult to suggest what this gentleman would have done. Nobody

knew this was a possibility and he could've gone anywhere in the

country. It would have been impossible to predict he would be

country. It would have been impossible to predict he wotld be in

Bridlington and it is impossible to say how we could have prevented this

from happening. We need continued support in the coming hours to do

everything we can with the resources we have two get him arrested. Police

A temporary ice pad is to bd bought in to allow Grimsby's ice rink

to re`open, at a cost of more than ?200,000.

It was closed around six wedks ago because

of problems with its refrigeration. North East Lincolnshire Council says

eventually a new rink will be built in the town.

We are going to soft test the area and we would

like to put the ice rink in, so that will be down to developers.

More importantly, by the end of this week, we will get a time fr`me for

getting the refrigeration units, getting the temporary ice p`d in.

It will be weeks and not months. Brilliant news. Really happx.

Officers in Humberside Police drew their Tasers 460 times in one year.

It's prompted concern from the national police watchdog because

the two forces are at the top of a national list of taser usd ` with

officers here more than twice as likely to draw their weapon compared

with much bigger forces including the Met and

Our cameras filmed these officers from Lincolnshire Police le`rning

The force was one of the first to trial the ddvice.

Now the police watchdog is concerned about how often officers usd them.

There are five forces nationally which account for half of the uses.

Last year, Humberside Policd used Tasers 462 times.

While officers in Lincolnshire used them 259 times.

But while some other forces used the device more often,

the concern here is about ntmber of times Tasers were used,

Home Office data shows officers from Humberside Police are some

Figures from 2013 show for every 100 officers in the force,

Similarly, in Lincolnshire, for every 100 officers there were 23

But for London's Metropolit`n Police that figure was just seven uses per

The police do not always fire Tasers.

Lincolnshire Police claim in most cases they used

the device as a deterrent to stop offenders from turning violdnt.

Humberside's Police Commissioner agrees.

We have more officers using and having access.

It is a safe tool, a great way of controlling dangerous situations.

With usage increasing every year the police watchdog wants to know

why some forces are using them more frequently than others.

I spoke Sophie Khan, a solictor advocate who represents Tasdr

I think that they are used when there is a life`threatening

situation. It is only after that that it should be used. It should

not be used to threaten or do care the individual. `` or deter. I have

a number of cases and have done a lot of campaigning over the last

couple of years and I see the impact that they have on individuals who

are not involved in any kind of criminality and do not have a weapon

with them. But if they are not involved in anything, why would

there be concerned by the police? If that is no criminality involved,

there be concerned by the police? If that is no criminality involved it

that is no criminality involved, it should not be used in the fhrst

should not be used in the first place and especially if there is no

weapon involved. I have somd clients who were just in the wrong place at

the wrong time and certain individuals might have ment`l health

issues and are unaware of what they are doing and also they do not have

weapons. Do you think it is being used too much? I think it is being

used to readily by police forces because it is double the number of

times or triple the number of times that forces across the country use

them. You've been debating this one on

Facebook throughout the day. Natalie: "Carry on using them

because not only does it prdvent an on the arresting officer but

prevents further attacks on the public"

Stuart: "It's just an easy way to get people to do what the police

tell them to. whatever happdned to the strict hands`on approach".

Simon: "Anything that could kill or harm someone should be used as a

last resort. Unfortunately some police officers are only to happy to

use it". If you want to join in log onto Facebook and search for BBC

week and also into Saturday. People who live on the

East Yorkshire coast are being asked to take responsibility

for cleaning their local beaches. East Riding Council says beautiful

beaches are spoiled by rubbhsh and wants councillors to lead teams

of volunteer litter pickers. The group Keep Britain Tidy says

a minority of people who drop litter ` like here in Queen's Gardens

in Hull ` think someone elsd will pick it up and the Government says

that costs ?1 billion a year. We'll be asking whether you should

challenge people who drop lhtter. First our environment correspondent,

Paul Murphy, These are some of the finest beaches

you will find anywhere. Even more glorious when the sun

shines. But the East Coast is hiding a dirty

secret. The legacy of those who reftse to

take their rubbish home. From beer cans, which unfortunately

people do leave when they have had a barbecue on the beach.

The campaign now being launched to clear up our beaches is arguably one

of the most determined for decades. We have a scheme called Ways Of

Waste. Really, it's an initiative to try

and get everybody involved in taking a little bit of responsibilhty,

citizenship, really, for our coast. We have, at the moment, 17 sites up

and down the Yorkshire coast. In the most recent litter survey of

the East Coast from Flamborough to Spurn, more than 10,000 items

were recovered. It's thought around 75% of it is

made up of plastic or polystyrene. Research shows that 94% of birds

examined in the North Sea had ingested plastic particles.

The beaches around Flamborough are among the most beautiful in the UK

but you only have to take a stroll for a couple of minutes to realise

they have got a real problem here. And, as the holiday season begins,

so the size of the challengd gets bigger.

It is a mess, you can tell it's a mess.

Obviously, it's keeping up with it. Every time we come down, we do take

ours up top with us and take it home to the caravan, and

things like that. If everybody did it, it would not be

as bad, would it? It is a case of having to carry it

to the top, or to the car p`rk, put it in your car.

I mean, you can find a bin somewhere, can't you?

The clear`up message is getting through but there will

always be those who ignore ht. The evidence of their days at the

seaside I spoke to Phil Barton,

the head of Keep Britain Tidy. I asked him if he knows why some

people leave litter behind. The vast majority of the population

realises it should not matter and realises it should not matter and

most people do not letter. There is much more plastic fast food

available for people to letter in the first place. Should we ask

people to pick up litter or do we risk getting a mouthful? We

recommend people are careful and recognise a situation that you are

recognise a situation that xou are then. I do not tackle people

recognise a situation that you are then. I do not tackle peopld when I

then. I do not tackle people when I do not feel it would be safd

then. I do not tackle peopld when I do not feel it would be safe to

then. I do not tackle people when I do not feel it would be safd to do

do not feel it would be safe to do so. Is it a good enough exctse

do not feel it would be safd to do so. Is it a good enough excuse to

say there are not enough bins? No. Everybody has personal

responsibility for the lettdr they responsibility for the lettdr they

produce and it is very easy to take it home or find the nearest litter

then and ideally to recycle it because any letter is just resources

in the wrong place and we nded to concentrate on generally reducing

our waste. At the deterrent is not so much financial but if yot expect

to get caught or not. You have to to get caught or not. You have to

have a sensible policy for ht to get caught or not. You h`ve to

have a sensible policy for it but to get caught or not. You have to

have a sensible policy for ht but we have a sensible policy for it but we

do believe there should be lore enforcement and that would have an

impact on people. What is your message to people who drop litter?

You are messing up the nest for everybody else and it is very easy

to avoid. If you want to be in touch on this issue, you can e`mail

to avoid. If you want to be in touch on this issue, you can e`mahl us or

text us. We will have some of your stories tomorrow night.

We are dipping a toe in the water at the beginning of the season but

We need to get our recruitment right for this season. The scheme has a

habit of kicking you in the teeth. If we are in the top ten,

that will be exceptional. The team says training has been

going well and they're prep`red for the season, away at Swindon

on the 9th of August. Last night we had about a triathlon

across the Humber and we have had from the organisers it was a success

Becci Ellis from Gunness made the record attempt

at Elvington airfield near York, on a bike built by her husb`nd.

She's thought to be the world's fastest woman on a motorbike, but

Becci Ellis had no idea unthl the end of her record`breaking attempt.

I had a ticket that was shoved onto the end of the tank,

I hadn't noticed that the thcket was there straight away and it was only

when I sat back and looked down that I realised I'd got 248.5 mph.

And I was absolutely elated, I was just squeaking, it was amazing.

And, as this amateur footagd shows, 248.5 mph is pretty quick.

The bike was hand`built by Becky's husband, Mike, at their home

It is terrifying because I know what can go wrong.
