holiday, to improve education I'm hoping we will see an

:00:13.:00:22.

improvement in the engagement of their children.

:00:23.:00:23.

Police say a man wanted in connection with a Bridlington

:00:24.:00:25.

murder is also a suspect in a sexual assault case.

:00:26.:00:28.

There's a big rise in the number of people waiting longer to be

He's never been on a train, tube or bus.

The Lincolnshire farmer taking his first trip to London.

:00:38.:00:48.

Over time, people coming and going, it is very different.

:00:49.:00:57.

More sunshine to come over the next few days, the details follow

:00:58.:00:58.

shortly. A Lincolnshire school has become one

:00:59.:01:05.

of the first in the country to break away

:01:06.:01:08.

from traditional summer term times. White's Wood Academy in Gainsborough

:01:09.:01:12.

says it will help improve learning but also mean that parents can take

:01:13.:01:15.

children on cheaper holidays away The Government's welcomed the change

:01:16.:01:19.

saying it wants every school to have Parents face being fined if they

:01:20.:01:27.

take children out of lessons. The last day of school at White's

:01:28.:01:33.

Wood Academy in Gainsborough. But next year the term will end

:01:34.:01:38.

a week earlier to allow families to It is helpful. Cheaper holidays mean

:01:39.:01:57.

more money to spend on the kids. I am happy with it. It is normally so

:01:58.:02:06.

expensive. It'll be so much cheaper and better for. The trust that runs

:02:07.:02:12.

the school has changed next year's term dates so holidays are shorter

:02:13.:02:17.

and they fall outside the standard holiday period which means that

:02:18.:02:21.

parents will be able to buy a family holiday without the inflated prices.

:02:22.:02:28.

Should be a school's concern to get it cheaper holiday? We started off

:02:29.:02:34.

with looking at a different model, then we consulted parents to see

:02:35.:02:40.

what changes they want. We are always asking parents. This is their

:02:41.:02:44.

school, what would they like? It was also about the children being tired

:02:45.:02:50.

near Christmas and about as not having a long summer break and the

:02:51.:02:53.

lack of learning because the children drop quite a lot of

:02:54.:02:55.

learning during that time. And the difference between

:02:56.:03:00.

school holiday and non`school The cost of taking a family of three

:03:01.:03:02.

to Mallorca in August is ?1680 whereas in May the same holiday is

:03:03.:03:07.

?670, a thousand pounds less. But one travel agent warns that

:03:08.:03:13.

starting the summer holiday early to In theory, it is a great idea.

:03:14.:03:29.

Whether it comes off in practice, I am not sure. Airlines are clever.

:03:30.:03:37.

Generally speaking, if a date starts to become popular, even if there is

:03:38.:03:41.

no particular reason for it, prices can go up.

:03:42.:03:42.

This school says changing the term times isn't just about holiday

:03:43.:03:44.

The thought of saving money is bringing a smile to parents' faces

:03:45.:03:54.

here. Julie Davies is a representative

:03:55.:03:57.

of the National Union of Teachers Do you think other schools

:03:58.:03:59.

should follow this example? If it's a win`win situation? I'm not

:04:00.:04:13.

sure they are all quite true. I have three children. At various times,

:04:14.:04:18.

they have been at different schools. If all schools set their own

:04:19.:04:22.

holidays, you can have three schools were different holidays and that

:04:23.:04:28.

could turn into a nightmare. I take out when this came up that thinks it

:04:29.:04:33.

is wrong to lose the six`week long summer holiday as teachers like it?

:04:34.:04:38.

Yes, they do. As teachers that worked 50 to 60 hours a week, that

:04:39.:04:43.

is on average, they are exhausted at the end of term. And children need a

:04:44.:04:50.

holiday, too. You think you need that six weeks? I think children do,

:04:51.:04:59.

too. Credit to leave `` could lead to better attendance?

:05:00.:05:05.

It can't be proven, this is a new situation. I agree if it does, it is

:05:06.:05:12.

a good thing. I am not sure that shortening school holidays will do

:05:13.:05:21.

that. In favour or not in favour? I know that six weeks sounds like a

:05:22.:05:26.

long holiday and perhaps it is. But I think everybody should have longer

:05:27.:05:31.

holidays. Teachers are in a different world. Yellow if you

:05:32.:05:40.

compare `` If you compare it to other countries, teachers don't have

:05:41.:05:47.

long holidays. People say we always have to compete, why don't we have

:05:48.:05:54.

more holidays like they do abroad? Are you happy that the price of

:05:55.:05:57.

getting away to the sun is beginning to dictate school times? No. ?1000

:05:58.:06:08.

for a price hike because kids are a holiday, it is disgraceful. And

:06:09.:06:13.

people are saying it is good for education. Which is it? Thank you

:06:14.:06:17.

very much for coming in. Can changing term times

:06:18.:06:19.

help children learn? What else should be done to ease

saying today about the search for Police say the search is now focused

:07:37.:07:48.

on an area of land near Barnsley. There have been 200 reported

:07:49.:07:53.

sightings of him, but police say many have been discounted. We are

:07:54.:07:57.

told he is wanted in connection with a targeted serious sexual assault

that took place about a week before the murder of Bei Carter. Police are

trying to do get a set of keys that are missing from the guesthouse.

:08:10.:08:18.

They are room keys that look similar to this,

:08:19.:08:20.

It's thought John Heald took them with him, but could have thrown them

:08:21.:08:25.

away somewhere in Bridlington or over in the South Yorkshire area.

:08:26.:08:27.

Crimestoppers has put forward a ?5,000 reward for information

But a warning from the police is still in place ` this man is

Ten athletes from East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire will join thousands

:09:26.:09:28.

of people competing from across the world.

:09:29.:09:30.

Our sports reporter Simon Clark is there.

:09:31.:09:32.

What medal hopes do we have over the next 11 days?

:09:33.:09:41.

It is hard to put an exact figure on it as there are many intangibles,

:09:42.:09:51.

but ten athletes I hear from our area and I would be surprised if we

:09:52.:09:56.

come away with fewer than three. `` are here.

proud to be wearing a kilt. We have been working hard for the last three

:10:16.:10:21.

or four months, training in Scotland. We have trained on that

:10:22.:10:29.

pitch. This is the best squad Scotland have had. And mixing with

:10:30.:10:34.

the home crowd and support, we hope for our best ever finish. This is

thrower, is here. You want to do your best that the major events. We

:11:32.:11:38.

am happier now what I see on paper each week. It is a great position to

:11:39.:11:43.

be in. You don't want to go in thinking it is not quite for you. It

:11:44.:11:48.

has been great. Ten athletes from East Yorkshire are aiding the glory.

:11:49.:11:51.

Many could win coveted medals. How does the atmosphere compare

:11:52.:11:56.

today to that surrounding the It has been fantastic. The weather

:11:57.:12:08.

has helped. We were driving on a main routes here and passed to

polythene bags, but they are actually part of the pyrotechnics

:12:20.:12:23.

that you will see soon. If you see an explosion by the SECC, you know

:12:24.:12:30.

what it is. Still ahead, a final decision is

:12:31.:12:36.

made on what will happen to the site of Louth's former capital markets.

:12:37.:12:41.

And he has never been on a train, tube or bus, the Lincolnshire farmer

:12:42.:12:44.

enjoying a day out in London. A green weather forecaster and an

:12:45.:13:08.

orange newsreader, I thought it was cruel.

:13:09.:13:17.

I will show you how hot it has been. Kings Lynn, 27 Celsius. Other places

:13:18.:13:23.

struggling with low cloud, 16 Celsius. Here is tomorrow's

:13:24.:13:35.

headline. A great start, warm sunshine breaking through. Generally

:13:36.:13:41.

speaking, the coastal low cloud should be a a lot thinner. High

:13:42.:13:48.

pressure in charge. You can see the low cloud and missed that actually

:13:49.:13:53.

anywhere on the satellite picture, it has been shrinking, but for many

:13:54.:13:59.

it is beautiful with lots of sunshine around. Cloud and missed

:14:00.:14:05.

will extend inland. South Lincolnshire may well stay clear.

:14:06.:14:09.

Temperatures coming in of 13 or 14 Celsius. The sun will rise at two

:14:10.:14:21.

minutes past five. A great start in many places. Low cloud will break up

:14:22.:14:26.

pretty quickly and the Lincolnshire coast should have a better time of

:14:27.:14:30.

it. Much of the East Yorkshire coast should clear, so most will become

:14:31.:14:39.

sunny. Like all moderate east would wind. `` eastward. We're looking at

:14:40.:14:49.

top temperatures of 25 Celsius. Another beautiful day to come.

:14:50.:14:52.

Friday is similar with a great start. Sunday, fresh air on the way

:14:53.:14:58.

from the North with more cloud and a risk of showers.

:14:59.:15:07.

No matter how desperate you are, you can't be as bad as Alex Deakin who

:15:08.:15:09.

has treated in. Don't forget to...

:15:10.:15:25.

I'm not green, but you are still orange.

:15:26.:15:31.

The number of patients waiting for hospital treatment in

:15:32.:15:34.

East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire has gone up by almost 10,000 people

:15:35.:15:36.

According to Government targets, all patients should be seen within

:15:37.:15:40.

18 weeks after being referred by their GP, but waits

:15:41.:15:42.

Our health correspondent Vicky Johnson has been looking

:15:43.:15:45.

After being referred by a doctor, the Government says you should be

:15:46.:15:49.

But the number of people waiting longer than this

:15:50.:15:52.

has more than doubled at some of our hospital trusts over the past year.

:15:53.:15:55.

Last May, there were 1866 people who'd been waiting too long at

:15:56.:15:58.

At the same point this year that number had almost doubled to 3660.

:15:59.:16:03.

That means out of a total waiting list of almost 38,000 people,

:16:04.:16:09.

Sheila Hall was first diagnosed with anaemia last August.

:16:10.:16:18.

Her GP referred her to the Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals for tests

:16:19.:16:21.

She then spent more than six months waiting for another appointment to

:16:22.:16:29.

You think you have got lost in the system

:16:30.:16:33.

and you do constantly worry that there may be some serious problem

:16:34.:16:36.

Sheila's experience is far from unique.

:16:37.:16:46.

Thousands are kept waiting longer than the Government 's target

:16:47.:16:52.

of 18 weeks from referral to treatment time.

:16:53.:16:56.

Hospital managers say part of the reason for this is

:16:57.:17:02.

They say they are working hard to reduce the backlog.

:17:03.:17:06.

They have also told us that they are now liaising closely with

:17:07.:17:09.

their colleagues in the community to try to change the process by which

:17:10.:17:12.

Ruth Marsden is the vice`chair of the National patient group,

:17:13.:17:18.

Nationally, the Department of Health see waiting

:17:19.:17:25.

For the individual patient, it is an element of their own well`being

:17:26.:17:31.

It is hugely important that if they are told they are having

:17:32.:17:39.

an appointment and it will be within X weeks,

:17:40.:17:41.

Last night, the issue was raised in the House of Commons.

:17:42.:17:50.

4000 patients in East Yorkshire are forced to wait more than 18 weeks to

:17:51.:17:53.

Hospital managers insist they are working hard to improve

:17:54.:17:57.

This isn't a problem particular to our area.

:17:58.:18:02.

Other hospitals across the country are seeing the same increases.

:18:03.:18:05.

It seems to be a combination of rising patient demand, combined with

:18:06.:18:12.

But some of our trusts have now agreed to

:18:13.:18:17.

invest more money on increasing both the number of outpatient clinics

:18:18.:18:19.

Have you been affected by the longer waits for treatment?

:18:20.:18:30.

Perhaps you've been left waiting for results longer than you should have?

:18:31.:18:34.

What do you think should be done about this?

:18:35.:18:49.

It's one of Lincolnshire's longest running planning disputes, but the

:18:50.:18:52.

future of the cattle market site in Louth will become clearer tonight.

:18:53.:18:55.

Councillors are meeting right now to decide whether to sell the land to

:18:56.:18:58.

It's a move that's split the town with some people saying

:18:59.:19:02.

a supermarket is needed for Louth to progress.

:19:03.:19:05.

Others say it could drive out independent shops.

:19:06.:19:07.

Our business correspondent Sarah Corker is outside East

:19:08.:19:09.

Sarah, why has it taken so long to get to this point?

:19:10.:19:20.

It is because over the last five years, there has been fierce debate

:19:21.:19:27.

about how the site should be developed. At the start of the

:19:28.:19:31.

meeting, there was a 4000 strong edition against the supermarkets.

:19:32.:19:38.

Today, it was decision day and about 30 minutes ago councillors voted to

:19:39.:19:45.

approve that sale to Asda. It was described as a momentous but

:19:46.:19:48.

difficult decision made for the benefit of Louth.

:19:49.:19:54.

Louth cherishes its uniqueness. It is largely `` has largely resisted

:19:55.:20:04.

the march of the chain stores. At this green grocers, there is concern

:20:05.:20:10.

that character could disappear if a supermarket giant moves in. I was

:20:11.:20:16.

scared we will lose our identity. We don't want it to stop moving

:20:17.:20:19.

forward, but how many supermarkets does a small town need? The cattle

:20:20.:20:27.

market is only use one morning a week. The district council is

:20:28.:20:32.

purposing to relocate it and sell this land to developers for a

:20:33.:20:37.

supermarket. There were 15 bidders and this afternoon councillors

:20:38.:20:42.

approved the sale to Asda. There were a lot of views amongst members,

:20:43.:20:46.

but there was a vote in favour of the sale. We will go back to Asda

:20:47.:20:52.

and it will be up to them to bring forward a planning application.

:20:53.:20:55.

There are already smaller high`street supermarkets here. The

:20:56.:21:02.

council has an alternative plan and says it will appeal the decision.

:21:03.:21:06.

Keep the cattle market on the current site. People of Louth get

:21:07.:21:13.

the shops that they have not currently got... But some want a big

:21:14.:21:19.

supermarkets or they can get a weekly shop. Yell back they think

:21:20.:21:22.

they're going to get some megastore,. `` they think they are

:21:23.:21:27.

going to get some megastore, but they won't. Due on the supermarkets

:21:28.:21:34.

here? I don't see why not. `` do you. It will bring jobs, I suppose.

:21:35.:21:44.

I am very much against it. I love the little town. The sale is worth

:21:45.:21:49.

up to ?12 million to the council, money says will be spent to improve

:21:50.:21:56.

public services. It is predicted the town will grow

:21:57.:22:02.

by 2000 houses in the next 15 years. The council says it needs a bigger

:22:03.:22:06.

supermarkets. Those in the against camp says it is in and out of town

:22:07.:22:12.

location that will take customers away from the centre. It is not a

:22:13.:22:17.

done deal, what happens next? Asda will have to put in a planning

:22:18.:22:21.

application and only then will we know the size and layout of the

:22:22.:22:26.

store. The council is looking at ways of putting an appeal against

:22:27.:22:29.

the decision so the story is far from over.

:22:30.:22:30.

Thank you. Thousands of people have turned

:22:31.:22:33.

out in Cleethorpes to welcome It's the first time in 28 years that

:22:34.:22:36.

the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment have exercised their right

:22:37.:22:40.

to the freedom of the town. Hull City Council has apologised

:22:41.:22:47.

after paddling pools were closed in the hot weather. They will be back

:22:48.:22:52.

in use tomorrow. The council says they were shut for maintenance work.

:22:53.:22:58.

One has been shut for a year after an infection outbreak last year.

:22:59.:23:02.

A Lincolnshire farmer who's barely left his home county has spent the

:23:03.:23:05.

Farmer Wink, who speaks in Lincolnshire dialect, has farmed

:23:06.:23:08.

Today, he boarded a train for the first time to have

:23:09.:23:12.

Our reporter Simon Spark was with him.

:23:13.:23:22.

For most people, getting on a train wouldn't be a big deal. But Pharma

:23:23.:23:32.

Wink is not the most people. He is a traditional farmer. He talks in

:23:33.:23:42.

Lincolnshire dialect. He has rarely ventured further than his

:23:43.:23:46.

birthplace. Today, he is going to London. `` but Farmer Wink is not

:23:47.:23:52.

most people. It starts in first class. We have a special guests with

:23:53.:24:04.

us. Farmer Wink from Lincoln. I like looking after the chickens and pigs.

:24:05.:24:14.

It is in your blood. I have been on the farmer and it has been good.

:24:15.:24:18.

Getting used to the number of people was the first hurdle. I never

:24:19.:24:23.

thought there would be so many people, touring and fro`ing.

:24:24.:24:29.

Unbelievable really. `` coming and froing.

:24:30.:24:47.

He then scaled the Shard. Before long, he had quite a

:24:48.:24:51.

following. Then the following didn't just grow, it went national.

:24:52.:24:57.

We have done the train and the underground, now we are on BBC Radio

:24:58.:25:09.

2. This is one of the best days. It is great to have our friend here. I

:25:10.:25:14.

don't know where to start, because this city is crazy. Trying to work

:25:15.:25:22.

out what Farmer Wink makes of it, I do not know. I'm excited to meet

:25:23.:25:29.

him. Then a tour and a bit of whether presenting. Note the name.

:25:30.:25:37.

If that was not enough, Downing Street. This was not just a day, it

:25:38.:25:42.

was a moment in history. How would you sum it all up? Marvellous. What

:25:43.:25:55.

an end to the day. There we are, Farmer Wink's big day

:25:56.:25:56.

out. Let's get a recap of the
