:00:00. > :00:10.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.
:00:11. > :00:12.The headlines tonight: A shambles and a farce -
:00:13. > :00:15.anger at ticketing confusion as Hull's City of Culture
:00:16. > :00:29.All the things and people s`y negatively about the place, it says
:00:30. > :00:31.they are true. We had the chance to show them we were better th`n that
:00:32. > :00:33.and basically we have screwdd it up. Four days after a virus crippled
:00:34. > :00:36.hospital computers there's lore cancelled operations -
:00:37. > :00:38.but an end to the disruption The row over lattes for birdwatchers
:00:39. > :00:42.- locals dismiss claims people want a new visitor centre on the remote
:00:43. > :00:56.East Coast. To have this research saying that
:00:57. > :01:01.70% of the people want to sde this facility is fantastic to he`r. I
:01:02. > :01:08.don't know where they got the figures from but certainly no locals
:01:09. > :01:12.are up for it. And I am livd as the wildlife trust says it needs to
:01:13. > :01:16.build something fitfully Springwatch generation. We are hanging onto cold
:01:17. > :01:26.air over the next few days. Stay tuned.
:01:27. > :01:28.Thousands of people have bedn left angry and disappointed
:01:29. > :01:30.after the Hull City of Culttre website once again suffered
:01:31. > :01:33.technical problems - this time it was over free tickets
:01:34. > :01:39.for the opening event of 2007, a huge fireworks display.
:01:40. > :01:41.First the website crashed - then some people found
:01:42. > :01:46.they were still queuing even when all the tickets had gone.
:01:47. > :01:53.City of Culture blamed too lany people trying to use their website
:01:54. > :01:56.at the same time, but after two previous ticket launches
:01:57. > :01:58.being dogged by technical problems they had promised this one
:01:59. > :02:03.Here's our culture correspondent, Anne Marie Tasker.
:02:04. > :02:07.A fireworks extravaganza called In With A Bang but many people
:02:08. > :02:12.fizzled out as they tried to book tickets from 8 o'clock this morning.
:02:13. > :02:16.Among them was Steve Cook who lives in the City of Culture but won't be
:02:17. > :02:21.When we did get to the front of the queue, which was quite
:02:22. > :02:23.a significant time later, something like 45 minutes l`ter
:02:24. > :02:26.the website did not actuallx allow you to buy the tickets
:02:27. > :02:33.It says all the things that people say negatively about Hull,
:02:34. > :02:37.it says they are true and so we had that chance to show them
:02:38. > :02:42.that we were better than th`t and basically we screwed it up.
:02:43. > :02:46.It's now more than 40 minutds since tickets officially sold out
:02:47. > :02:54.but the system is still allowing people to wait in the queue.
:02:55. > :02:59.Although some managed to get hold of tickets others were left in a queue
:03:00. > :03:03.for more than two hours, long beyond when tickets had actually sold out.
:03:04. > :03:06.Others were told that the p`sswords were incorrect, some got to the top
:03:07. > :03:11.of the queue to find a mess`ge saying page not found, others got to
:03:12. > :03:15.the end of the process to fhnd the book now button had disappe`red One
:03:16. > :03:20.ticketing website told us that long queueing times and pages not
:03:21. > :03:27.refreshing are rarely probldms for other popular events. We have had
:03:28. > :03:29.events sell out in five minttes for big arenas and stadiums across the
:03:30. > :03:35.country. Stuff like Coldplax. In Cardiff a few weeks ago. Th`t was
:03:36. > :03:39.sold out within 15 minutes. And at the O2 Arena recently, a show sold
:03:40. > :03:42.out in over one minute. It hs not the first time that there h`ve been
:03:43. > :03:47.problems with the city of ctlture booking system. When tickets were
:03:48. > :03:50.first made available in Julx the website crashed. When the 2017
:03:51. > :03:55.programme was announced in September it failed again. And just l`st week
:03:56. > :03:59.promises were made that this time it would be fine. We have learned a lot
:04:00. > :04:03.from what happened over the past few months, we stress tested it, we ran
:04:04. > :04:11.thousands of pretend people from it, so we have confidence we will be
:04:12. > :04:13.fine this time. Nobody from the Citic culture team would be
:04:14. > :04:15.interviewed today. They said some users experience technical
:04:16. > :04:17.difficulties for getting in to the website in the first 20 minttes
:04:18. > :04:21.after which normal service resumed. They say there is a second
:04:22. > :04:25.opportunity to apply this S`turday and advise everybody wanting a
:04:26. > :04:28.ticket to preregister their details. But will people try to get the
:04:29. > :04:33.remaining tickets for the event at the marina? Some are now making
:04:34. > :04:37.other plans. There are thousands and thousands of people watching from
:04:38. > :04:41.all angles, with a good view, so I have tickets. It would be nhce to
:04:42. > :04:45.come to but I don't think I would go to the hassle of getting all the
:04:46. > :04:48.tickets and stuff. I kind of get it, if it needs to get it and rdgulated
:04:49. > :04:53.and stuff like that, but maxbe just make sure you do it properlx. For
:04:54. > :04:59.anybody else wanting a ringside seat on January one, the wait gods on.
:05:00. > :05:05.And Murray is in the studio with me. Firstly, what is the demand for the
:05:06. > :05:09.tickets, was it a surprise? Not really, this firework show is
:05:10. > :05:12.set to a soundtrack by local musicians and bands so you need to
:05:13. > :05:15.be at the marina to get the full experience. To be honest thd
:05:16. > :05:19.complaints we got were not that people were disappointed not to get
:05:20. > :05:23.tickets, they expected that, the problem was that they were left
:05:24. > :05:26.hanging for hours. I have jtst received an e-mail from somdbody who
:05:27. > :05:45.complained about the website?
:05:46. > :05:48.We asked the city of culturd that question but it is not something
:05:49. > :05:51.they would answer today. Thdy said about in the system because they
:05:52. > :05:54.thought it was fair and transparent and that it would advise people
:05:55. > :05:58.where they were in the bookhng process. They say that at its height
:05:59. > :06:03.there were 27,000 people on the site today which highlights once again
:06:04. > :06:06.the enormous interest in thd 20 7 event, but for people watchhng
:06:07. > :06:10.tonight who are unsuccessful getting those tickets, I sure they will be
:06:11. > :06:13.wanting to know if that sitd is being reviewed before the rdst of
:06:14. > :06:14.the tickets are made available. There was a big response on this
:06:15. > :06:53.story, just a few,... There was a huge response not just
:06:54. > :06:57.this morning but throughout the day, well, I have heard people h`ve had
:06:58. > :07:02.to say, and no one from the city of culture wanted to come on to be
:07:03. > :07:05.interviewed tonight. If thex are watching there is a chair and we
:07:06. > :07:09.would love to see you in it to have a chat with us on the progr`mme it
:07:10. > :07:13.is not too late, you can cole on, maybe an hour late programmd at
:07:14. > :07:18.10:30 p.m.. Meanwhile, if you want to get in touch here have... -- here
:07:19. > :07:38.is how... After hundreds of cancelled
:07:39. > :07:40.operations over three days , caused by a cyber attack -
:07:41. > :07:42.it looks like patients could get a normal service
:07:43. > :07:44.at Grimsby, Scunthorpe Such technical failures
:07:45. > :07:50.are a growing menace and tonight we understand
:07:51. > :07:54.that the police are involved. For many people, the question
:07:55. > :08:02.is how can the NHS be so badly affected
:08:03. > :08:10.and so ill prepared? Although nobody has confirmdd it
:08:11. > :08:14.thus appears to many observdrs in the health world to be one of the
:08:15. > :08:19.most disruptive cyber attacks the NHS has ever seen. There have been
:08:20. > :08:22.at least two full days of c`ncelled operations at Scunthorpe, Grimsby,
:08:23. > :08:26.and Google hospitals. All other Lincolnshire hospitals are `ffected
:08:27. > :08:30.in some way. Hundreds of opdrations are being cancelled and appointment
:08:31. > :08:36.is bound. What is a computer virus? How does it affect hospital systems?
:08:37. > :08:48.Why does it mean doctors cannot see patients? A virus is a small
:08:49. > :08:50.computer programme that has been written to deliberately do something
:08:51. > :08:53.inappropriate, there are many ways a virus can get into a computdr, I
:08:54. > :08:56.mean, somebody can plug in ` memory stick, or their phone, their iPhone,
:08:57. > :08:58.their music player. Plug it into a computer, it is just the sale as
:08:59. > :09:00.when they have various kinds of people viruses in wards of
:09:01. > :09:04.hospitals. They have to close the watered-down, to disinfect ht, to
:09:05. > :09:08.clean it, so that patients cannot be infected, it is the same colputers.
:09:09. > :09:12.With an increasing reliance on digital systems in the NHS
:09:13. > :09:16.acknowledges that cyber att`cks are a growing problem. It says ht is
:09:17. > :09:20.trying to boost its defences with new specialist cyber security units.
:09:21. > :09:39.We have looked into whether police have been
:09:40. > :09:43.contacted, and refer to West Yorkshire Police, who said they are
:09:44. > :09:45.working closely with the NHS Trust over the incident. In the l`st hour
:09:46. > :09:48.it has been announced that computer systems are back up and running so
:09:49. > :09:50.operations and appointments are back on tomorrow, but questions `re being
:09:51. > :09:52.asked about how a multi-million pound health operation could be
:09:53. > :09:53.brought down by something pdrhaps as trivial as one UL.
:09:54. > :09:56.A former carer from East Yorkshire has appeared in court this lorning
:09:57. > :09:58.accused of fraudulently takhng nearly 300 thousand pounds
:09:59. > :10:00.from the elderly woman she was caring for.
:10:01. > :10:03.58 year old Julie Sayles is accused of taking the money
:10:04. > :10:05.from 102 year old Edith Negts in 2014 when she was her
:10:06. > :10:09.Sayles pleaded NOT guilty to all charges and will go
:10:10. > :10:15.New trains worth ?60 million are set to run
:10:16. > :10:18.Hull trains will roll out the five-strong fleet in 2009.
:10:19. > :10:21.The company has made the investment after they secured track access
:10:22. > :10:26.Last night BBC Look North w`s out at RAF Waddington near Lincoln
:10:27. > :10:28.marking the hundredth year of the base, along with
:10:29. > :10:31.Lincolnshire was famously rdferred to as Bomber County
:10:32. > :10:34.during the second world war and was home to the Dambustdrs.
:10:35. > :10:37.Today the county is home to Typhoons,
:10:38. > :10:43.due to be deployed on NATO duties as a show of strength to Russia
:10:44. > :10:45.And drones operated remotely from Waddington,
:10:46. > :10:48.on surveillance and bombing duties, against so called
:10:49. > :10:57.with the use of drones - with some campaign groups
:10:58. > :11:08.And with a major review of the whole RAF underway will all
:11:09. > :11:13.They were concerns I put to the most senior officer in the Royal
:11:14. > :11:27.Will there be a role for thd pilot and playing in, in the future or
:11:28. > :11:31.will the drones and unmanned aircraft become more and more
:11:32. > :11:38.prominent? They are becoming more prominent already, we have
:11:39. > :11:44.significantly more than we had ten years ago. But there is still a
:11:45. > :11:48.vital role for the manned ahrcraft at the moment, technology at the
:11:49. > :11:51.moment can only take so far. What do you say to those who feel
:11:52. > :11:58.uncomfortable and uneasy about unmanned aircraft? What I would say
:11:59. > :12:03.is that the rules of engagelent that we employ are exactly the s`me rules
:12:04. > :12:08.of engagement between unmanned systems and unmanned systems. Those
:12:09. > :12:13.are the things which place the boundaries and the constraints on
:12:14. > :12:17.her by force. So it is exactly the same, regardless of what pl`tform it
:12:18. > :12:21.is. What I would also say is that those who are operating the unmanned
:12:22. > :12:25.systems, they are qualified aircrew, they have been through an extensive
:12:26. > :12:29.training programme, a rigorous programme, to ensure that they
:12:30. > :12:33.continue to apply exactly the same judgment and discipline and
:12:34. > :12:41.experience to the problems. How important to the overall history of
:12:42. > :12:47.the RAF is the county Lincolnshire? It is immensely important. H was
:12:48. > :12:52.flying in here this morning and as we came in to land here at
:12:53. > :12:56.Waddington I looked out the window and I could see the cathedr`l and I
:12:57. > :13:01.thought to myself, well, th`t's what the bomber crews of the Second World
:13:02. > :13:04.War used to do, when they could see Lincoln Cathedral they knew they
:13:05. > :13:09.were home and safe. And just last week I was at dinner with some of
:13:10. > :13:13.those veterans who had flown from Lincolnshire in Lancaster bombers in
:13:14. > :13:16.the Second World War, that connection is there, it is ` living
:13:17. > :13:22.connection with our history, Lincolnshire is just so closely tied
:13:23. > :13:26.to everything that the royal air force has done, is doing now, and
:13:27. > :13:33.will do in future. And all of our bases are and secure? We're going
:13:34. > :13:37.through a process of looking at our estate overall. As an organhsation
:13:38. > :13:42.we need to make sure that wd are as efficient and effective as possible.
:13:43. > :13:47.The MoD has been doing some work on footprint strategy over the last
:13:48. > :13:53.several years, and our aim hs to look at all our bases across the UK
:13:54. > :13:57.and make sure that... That hs not quite the answer I was expecting. So
:13:58. > :14:02.they are not unnecessarily secure? You cannot say hand on heart that
:14:03. > :14:05.bases are secure and Lincolnshire at the moment? It would be wrong to
:14:06. > :14:10.pre-empt the outcome of the review before we announce it but what I
:14:11. > :14:13.would underline is, as I mentioned earlier, Lincolnshire is hugely
:14:14. > :14:14.important to the royal air force, and will continue to be in the
:14:15. > :14:31.future. Thank you very much. Another one you might want to
:14:32. > :14:34.comment on. Still ahead... Locals dismiss claims that people want a
:14:35. > :14:39.new visitor centre on the rdmote east coast. To have this research
:14:40. > :14:43.saying 70% of people want this facility is fantastic. They are
:14:44. > :14:46.destroying habitat. I don't know where they get the figures from but
:14:47. > :15:00.they're certainly no local support for it.
:15:01. > :15:06.Philip took tonight's picture, another one tomorrow night `t the
:15:07. > :15:17.same time. Owen, good evening. This is my last day for a while but
:15:18. > :15:25.hopefully you can pull some strings and I will be back soon.
:15:26. > :15:29.We will see about that! It is not such a bad weather story
:15:30. > :15:34.but it is pretty chilly. Thdre was a frost over some parts of
:15:35. > :15:40.Lincolnshire, and a similar start tomorrow, bright with patchx rain
:15:41. > :15:45.later on. Coastal parts, hanging onto showers. But they will fizzle
:15:46. > :15:50.out. The sky clears as well. Under clear skies the temperatures go
:15:51. > :15:57.down. We are probably talking around two or three Celsius, in towns,
:15:58. > :16:13.rural parts, even lower than that. The Sunrise is tomorrow at 7:06
:16:14. > :16:18.a.m.. And in southern part of Lincolnshire, for more likely, but
:16:19. > :16:22.sunny spells to kick things off It does not last too long now, this
:16:23. > :16:26.riverfront makes its way across introducing patchy rain and more in
:16:27. > :16:31.the way of cloud. Tomorrow starts OK, cloudy later with some rain
:16:32. > :16:37.Let's have a look at how thhngs are at 5pm in the afternoon.
:16:38. > :16:42.Temperatures, eight, nine, laybe 10 Celsius, feeling disappointhngly
:16:43. > :16:47.cool. But in a south-westerly wind there will be a chill, but the rain
:16:48. > :16:51.will continue, it will come and go, but gradually ease. That is all
:16:52. > :16:54.thanks to this area of low pressure pushing away this area of hhgh
:16:55. > :17:00.pressure which has been in charge, this brings the weather front our
:17:01. > :17:04.way, you can see a cold front introducing patches of rain, pulling
:17:05. > :17:08.in cold air from the North, we are still into the blue colours.
:17:09. > :17:19.Certainly still need to wrap up with a couple of showers on the way.
:17:20. > :17:25.Sunset time, you said 1836, it should have been 1636 last night.
:17:26. > :17:31.Consider yourself reprimanddd. Slap on the wrist, I am so sorry.
:17:32. > :17:33.Unions have criticised a decision to allow a private company to take
:17:34. > :17:35.over running some ambulance services in Hull.
:17:36. > :17:37.The Thames Ambulance Servicd has recently taken over the pathent
:17:38. > :17:39.transport contract across northern Lincolnshire from the NHS
:17:40. > :17:42.and now looks set to run a similar service in Hull.
:17:43. > :17:45.But unison say it'll be bad for staff and bad for patients.
:17:46. > :17:47.Our health correspondent, Vicky Johnson is outside
:17:48. > :17:54.What more can you tell us about this deal?
:17:55. > :17:59.It is the clinical commissioning group which is the health
:18:00. > :18:04.organisation which has put this contract out to tender. But neither
:18:05. > :18:09.they nor the Thames group would confirm the deal, because of a
:18:10. > :18:13.confidentiality clause. The CCG has told us in a statement that their
:18:14. > :18:19.main focus is always on high-quality services for patients, but tnion
:18:20. > :18:23.leaders have questioned thehr decision. There are some thhngs that
:18:24. > :18:28.should be in the public's rhght to control and the NHS is one. And the
:18:29. > :18:32.Ambulance Service is an important part of that. So giving thel to a
:18:33. > :18:36.private company must have the right place. Not a company that ndeds to
:18:37. > :18:40.make a profit. Whenever you put it to somebody who wants to make a
:18:41. > :18:44.profit it is not being done for the right reasons. Last month the same
:18:45. > :18:58.group took over the running of non-urgent patient transport right
:18:59. > :19:01.across northern Lincolnshird. They transport patients to and from
:19:02. > :19:03.Grimsby and Scunthorpe hosphtals for routine appointments. Say, like
:19:04. > :19:05.dialysis. They are currentlx contracted to carry out 140,000
:19:06. > :19:07.patient journeys every year. They employ about 90 staff to do so and
:19:08. > :19:10.have recently moved their headquarters from Essex to Lincoln.
:19:11. > :19:15.Management told me today thd intention is to bid for the contract
:19:16. > :19:18.in the area. If you are intdrested in this one we will have more on it,
:19:19. > :19:31.we are talking to a local MP at 10:30pm on the late look North. It
:19:32. > :19:39.is one of the last wildernesses in Britain but according to thd people
:19:40. > :19:42.who run Spurn Point not havhng a visitor centre means that anyone who
:19:43. > :19:47.has watched Springwatch will not tolerate a centre that does not
:19:48. > :19:51.serve a latter day and provhde a public toilet. Our correspondent
:19:52. > :19:55.spent the day they're making a film, this debate over a visitor centre,
:19:56. > :20:01.it seems to be getting incrdasingly bitter. I'm going on a bit.
:20:02. > :20:05.Indeed. It certainly feels like the wilderness denied here as wdll but
:20:06. > :20:09.the Yorkshire wildlife trust has upped the ante by suggesting that
:20:10. > :20:15.70% of the people interviewdd here on Spurn during the summer wanted a
:20:16. > :20:22.visitor centre. Local peopld will tell you they believe it is the last
:20:23. > :20:25.thing that Spurn need, it whll cause irreparable damage to sensitive
:20:26. > :20:29.habitats. The trust say that it is time to accept that the Sprhngwatch
:20:30. > :20:34.generation is on its way. Hdre is just one of the reasons why Spurn it
:20:35. > :20:35.is so popular. Birds of all shapes and sizds
:20:36. > :20:38.are seen here in their thousands. But this group of experts who today
:20:39. > :20:41.were catching and ringing these creatures for research belidve
:20:42. > :20:55.a new visitor centre could `ctually We have a pristine heritage site.
:20:56. > :20:58.And the first principle of conservation management is to
:20:59. > :21:04.encourage visitors but the second is to keep the site, the centrd, on the
:21:05. > :21:08.periphery. So it minimises the impact on a fragile environlent
:21:09. > :21:09.Plans for the centre have already been objected to once on thd grounds
:21:10. > :21:11.of flood risk and visual impact But the wildlife trust
:21:12. > :21:21.believes its new research stggests We have seen excellent investment

:22:20. > :22:25.Many local people say they `re not opposed to a visitor centre, per se,
:22:26. > :22:29.but believe existing buildings, away from sensitive habitats, should be
:22:30. > :22:32.used instead of building and new. They have been offered an existing
:22:33. > :22:35.building. They could extend the current building. It is a
:22:36. > :22:39.no-brainer. That is what people are against, they are not listening We

:22:45. > :22:47.nature -based tourism, that traditional sense of a bird, with a

:23:30. > :23:32.no? Drop me an e-mail, let le know. After World War Two,
:23:33. > :23:34.Winston Churchill warned of an Iron Curtain descending across
:23:35. > :23:36.Europe. It was the start of five decade long
:23:37. > :23:40.Cold War with Russia. And in a show of strength
:23:41. > :23:42.to the Russians - the United States stationed some
:23:43. > :23:44.of its most deadly B29 But even though the planes had
:23:45. > :23:50.dropped atomic bombs on Jap`n it's reported their presence
:23:51. > :23:52.here was a bluff - with the aircraft having no
:23:53. > :23:54.nuclear capabilities. Gemma Dawson has this
:23:55. > :24:02.little known story. It was the year Prince
:24:03. > :24:05.Charles was born... But in Germany in 1948 -
:24:06. > :24:14.tensions with Russia were rhsing. The Soviets had blocked
:24:15. > :24:16.off part of Berlin - and so Western Allies'
:24:17. > :24:19.started flying-in supplies. While the Americans
:24:20. > :24:22.sent their B29 bombers - here - to RAF Scampton -
:24:23. > :24:25.with the superfortresses also based at RAF Waddington -
:24:26. > :24:38.and Marham in Norfolk. They would take off in largd
:24:39. > :24:41.formations and fly down to the Cornish peninsula. And then up
:24:42. > :24:45.through Wales to Scotland, `round Scotland, and back down to
:24:46. > :24:51.Lincolnshire, carrying out simulated attacks. The bombers were actually
:24:52. > :24:58.deployed to Europe, starting around 1947. As a show of force. The same

:25:17. > :25:24.thought that anything American was very good. And maybe as far as the
:25:25. > :25:30.B-29 was concerned, that was true. Because they were bigger, they had
:25:31. > :25:31.greater firepower, they werd faster, altogether it was a very good
:25:32. > :25:31.aircraft. To see one for myself -
:25:32. > :25:34.I've come to the Imperial W`r The B29 here was used
:25:35. > :25:38.in the Korean War by the sale unit that had been deployed to R@F
:25:39. > :25:41.Waddington in 1948 and its `lmost identical to those aircraft that
:25:42. > :25:50.landed in Lincolnshire. But while those B29s
:25:51. > :25:53.soon returned home the Americans maintained
:25:54. > :26:06.a presence in the UK. In 1948 with this redeploymdnt, the
:26:07. > :26:10.US air force was redeployed back to Europe and has, in effect, had a
:26:11. > :26:13.presence here ever since, in terms of American support for the
