:00:00. > :00:09.Crisis in care - the council leader warning
:00:10. > :00:21.we'll all have to pay more to look after our elderly.
:00:22. > :00:25.It's about making the government recognise it's been an
:00:26. > :00:27.abhorrent failure, their policy on adult social care.
:00:28. > :00:29.Report your neighbours - people urged to watch out

:00:34. > :00:37.And making an impression - I meet Hull's Debra Stephenson ahead
:00:38. > :00:43.Davina McCall for some reason took me ages and I don't know why it
:00:44. > :00:45.took me ages just because it's quite sort of...
:00:46. > :01:07.Milder air is on the way. Join me for the very latest in 15 minutes.
:01:08. > :01:09.Good evening. Despite a rise in council tax bills,
:01:10. > :01:12.there are claims tonight that some local authorities will NOT have
:01:13. > :01:15.enough money to pay for the care The leader of North East
:01:16. > :01:19.Lincolnshire council says he's writing to the government to ask
:01:20. > :01:21.for a review of the way Most town halls are increasing
:01:22. > :01:27.council tax by up to 5%, with the majority of that rise
:01:28. > :01:29.going towards the More from our political
:01:30. > :01:48.editor Tim Iredale. Nice to see you. At the age of 91,
:01:49. > :01:51.Irene Racine 's home from carers at her home in Quincy. With talk of
:01:52. > :01:54.care crisis, many families are choosing to pay private for services
:01:55. > :02:02.rather than relying on the council. You hear this about ten minute
:02:03. > :02:07.visits, what can you actually do in ten minutes? An elderly person, you
:02:08. > :02:11.walk into their home, whether issues giving them some medication, you
:02:12. > :02:15.cannot just go here you go, and get out. You need to interact. When we
:02:16. > :02:19.talk about social care, what do we mean? Social care is the spelling
:02:20. > :02:24.peoples lives within their own homes. Becky has worked within the
:02:25. > :02:27.sector for ten years. She says it is not as the elderly who need looking
:02:28. > :02:32.after in their own homes. Those individual people could learning
:02:33. > :02:38.difficulties, they might be paralysed the Road traffic accident.
:02:39. > :02:42.Have different conditions so we have got customers with Huntington's
:02:43. > :02:49.disease, parking since, all of those conditions that can be safely manage
:02:50. > :02:52.within the home that do make life limiting for the person. They have
:02:53. > :02:56.been limited to 2% but this year the comedy is allowing local authorities
:02:57. > :03:01.to charge an extra 3%, what is going as a precept to help pay the social
:03:02. > :03:06.care. Any rise above 5% must be put to local people in a referendum. But
:03:07. > :03:11.even with that increase, some local authorities say it is still not
:03:12. > :03:14.enough. The leader of north east linkage council is writing to the
:03:15. > :03:21.government urging a total rethink of the way health and social care are
:03:22. > :03:24.funded. Not like the leafy suburbs of Westminster when they have a high
:03:25. > :03:30.council tax base. Because we have got low housing costs, our council
:03:31. > :03:36.tax rate, equate to about two fifths of what they have got. We are double
:03:37. > :03:41.whammy. More deprivation and more need in our area for older people
:03:42. > :03:46.and services that we raise less money than the leafy suburbs of
:03:47. > :03:49.Westminster. It is an unfair system. So council leaders appear to be
:03:50. > :04:01.locked in a war of words with the government over the cost of care.
:04:02. > :04:02.With no easy solution in state. -- sight.
:04:03. > :04:05.Joining me now is Lord Porter of Spalding who is the Chair
:04:06. > :04:07.of the Local Government Association and leader of South
:04:08. > :04:24.Is increasing council tax be right way to go? It is one of the right
:04:25. > :04:28.ways to go. Ie Letting down councils by not sorting out the problem and
:04:29. > :04:31.funding it centrally? It is our government, it is not my government.
:04:32. > :04:36.The government does recognise that it needs to do more. I'm not here as
:04:37. > :04:39.a spokesman for the government, and a spokesman for local government.
:04:40. > :04:44.Local government has been making a strong case. We are ?1.3 billion
:04:45. > :04:49.short in the medium period. Racing to 2.6 billion pounds over the life
:04:50. > :04:52.of this Parliament. We need action direct funding to bid on adult care
:04:53. > :04:56.across the country. The government said it would create a sustainable
:04:57. > :05:00.system for everyone who needs social care. Are they feeling? -- the
:05:01. > :05:14.laden. They are going to try and find more
:05:15. > :05:19.money. If they do, it will worsen. You will probably see more reports
:05:20. > :05:21.over the next three weeks, over a million people not requiring
:05:22. > :05:25.adequate funding for the care that they need. Would you feel
:05:26. > :05:29.comfortable if we had those figures that, if we were talking about 10%,
:05:30. > :05:32.15%, would you be happy about that to go on the council tax bills to
:05:33. > :05:38.pay this and get it sorted out once and for all? Council tax is not the
:05:39. > :05:41.way to sort this problem out. This problem needs to be resolved through
:05:42. > :05:45.national taxation and that does not mean to say we need to pay more, it
:05:46. > :05:51.means we have to spend the money we are spending better. It is taxing
:05:52. > :05:54.somebody, whichever way you do it? The government only has our money.
:05:55. > :05:59.The government does not make its own money. It only has money so it is
:06:00. > :06:04.only tax. Local tax may raise the money in the areas that are
:06:05. > :06:05.necessary. What with the local government Association message the
:06:06. > :06:15.two central government tonight on this one? -- what would be? To sit
:06:16. > :06:18.down and workaholic and best deliver this. There is money being wasted in
:06:19. > :06:22.the health service tonight as we speak because we did not spend
:06:23. > :06:26.enough money on adult social care yesterday. We have broken people. We
:06:27. > :06:29.need to stop people getting broken. Hospital beds are the most expensive
:06:30. > :06:36.beds that we have. I use the word word crisis, is it? Some people use
:06:37. > :06:40.the word crisis, I would prefer to wait for crisis to come into the
:06:41. > :06:45.future. We are at breaking point now. There's ?1.3 billion action
:06:46. > :06:51.needed. Each week that goes by, it is coming out of the private sector.
:06:52. > :06:53.Lord Porter, it was good to talk to tonight.
:06:54. > :06:55.This is one we'd like to hear your thoughts on.
:06:56. > :06:58.Do you agree the way we fund social care needs totally rethinking?
:06:59. > :07:01.Do you think the government should do more to help local
:07:02. > :07:05.Would you pay more council tax to ensure services remain in place?
:07:06. > :07:30.East riding is going to garrotte 5%. Bat go up.
:07:31. > :07:36.People are deliberately ignoring rules designed to stop the spread
:07:37. > :07:39.of bird flu and putting millions of chickens and turkeys at risk
:07:40. > :07:44.That's according to farmers - who want people to report
:07:45. > :07:52.neighbours who break the rules to the authorities.
:07:53. > :07:54.30000 birds have died after three outbreaks
:07:55. > :07:58.Our rural affairs correspondent Linsey Smith reports.
:07:59. > :08:07.Strolling around without a care in the world.
:08:08. > :08:10.But the owner of these guinea fowl should have.
:08:11. > :08:12.The government has ordered that all poultry be kept
:08:13. > :08:14.indoors to stop the spread of bird flu.
:08:15. > :08:16.And for granting these speckled hens their freedom, they could be
:08:17. > :08:31.This lady sells her eggs locally and she is following the rules, and is
:08:32. > :08:36.angry about those who are not. I think they should be named and
:08:37. > :08:40.shamed. I have been doing it with my friends. They say it does not apply
:08:41. > :08:45.to me. Yes it does. It is not fair on their beds that are in welfare
:08:46. > :08:55.but also when the restrictions are lifted a bit, as we are hoping in
:08:56. > :08:57.March, are those birds now carries? -- carriers.
:08:58. > :09:01.Jono Dixon is encouraging people to report rule breaking
:09:02. > :09:04.He runs a social media club for farmers.
:09:05. > :09:06.Some of whom feared bird flu infecting their flock.
:09:07. > :09:08.I think some of them are totally speechless
:09:09. > :09:11.as to how irresponsible people can be, you know, given the warnings
:09:12. > :09:14.that have been put out by the veterinary, the UK veterinary
:09:15. > :09:17.30,000 birds have been culled in our area so far
:09:18. > :09:24.It was discovered at a farm near Louth in
:09:25. > :09:26.December with 5000 birds were culled.
:09:27. > :09:28.The second case two weeks later was in Fulstow
:09:29. > :09:30.where 6000 were culled and the latest outbreak
:09:31. > :09:32.was last month in Boston,
:09:33. > :09:38.again at a turkey farm, where 19,000 birds were infected.
:09:39. > :09:42.One gram of infected bird feed seeds is enough
:09:43. > :09:44.to kill a million birds so
:09:45. > :09:47.that gives you a scale of how serious this disease is which can be
:09:48. > :09:51.spread sort of from a car tyre, it can be spread by a boot, by
:09:52. > :09:55.Well, there are hundreds of poultry farms in East Yorkshire and
:09:56. > :09:57.Lincolnshire employing thousands of people
:09:58. > :09:59.and those jobs rely on the prosperity,
:10:00. > :10:02.the health of those flocks and Defra say that the only way
:10:03. > :10:07.to ensure that at the moment is to keep birds housed.
:10:08. > :10:09.Shoppers who prefer local, free range eggs could
:10:10. > :10:14.Farms in high-risk zones may lose their free range
:10:15. > :10:21.Another reason why keeping this disease contained is so important.
:10:22. > :10:23.Linsey is with me in the studio this evening.
:10:24. > :10:26.What have the Government said about the people
:10:27. > :10:36.They say that they are taking this outbreak of bird flu very seriously.
:10:37. > :10:40.Not only because it affects people's jobs but it is affecting the whole
:10:41. > :10:44.countryside. The RSPB has said it is affecting people's attitude to wild
:10:45. > :10:49.birds in the nature reserve. They said that the seriousness is
:10:50. > :10:53.reflected in that penalty, up to ?5,000 fine and up to three months
:10:54. > :10:56.in prison. It is important to the that we do not know who those guinea
:10:57. > :11:00.fowl belong to and that is not the only clip that we have seen, many
:11:01. > :11:05.have been sent to the BBC over recent days. Defra told us that it
:11:06. > :11:10.is local training going to deal with rule breakers, they are encouraging
:11:11. > :11:14.anyone who wants to report a neighbour to contacted the local
:11:15. > :11:18.trading standards. Defra Sadie eases way to avoid getting her back flocks
:11:19. > :11:22.filmed and being named and shamed in social media is to check the
:11:23. > :11:22.website, know the rules and stick to them.
:11:23. > :11:23.Thank you. A 46-year-old man has
:11:24. > :11:25.died after it's believed he was struck by steel that fell
:11:26. > :11:28.from a van in Hull. Humberside Police and the Health
:11:29. > :11:30.and Safety Executive are investigating the incident
:11:31. > :11:32.on Vulcan Street off Clough Road A Hull shop owner filmed two men
:11:33. > :11:40.using this public phone box to, allegedly, use hard drugs
:11:41. > :11:46.in broad daylight. He says he was shocked this
:11:47. > :11:49.could happen in a residential It's hard because it's a public
:11:50. > :11:54.phone box so Many times I've found
:11:55. > :12:02.syringes around here. You know, recently, I've
:12:03. > :12:04.seen a few people... They go in the phone box
:12:05. > :12:07.and use it for drugs. There's places for people to go
:12:08. > :12:09.and do whatever they're going to do, you know,
:12:10. > :12:12.I don't think things like that Within the last hour,
:12:13. > :12:15.Hull City Council have They say, "We will not tolerate this
:12:16. > :12:19.kind of behaviour and will work closely with the police
:12:20. > :12:21.to tackle anti-social behaviour." This is another story we'd
:12:22. > :12:29.like your thoughts on. Is drug taking in public now part
:12:30. > :12:32.of everyday life or can something be The police say no complaint
:12:33. > :12:38.was made to them in this instance so no action
:12:39. > :12:40.has been taken. Maybe there's a problem
:12:41. > :12:43.in your area. Six men have been arrested
:12:44. > :12:47.in connection with a petrol bomb attack on a house in Scunthorpe.A
:12:48. > :12:49.woman was treated in hospital for burns following the fire
:12:50. > :12:53.in the town last week. Officers say they carried out a raid
:12:54. > :12:56.in Scunthorpe today and detained the men who are aged
:12:57. > :13:00.between 18 and 32. Police have seized firearms
:13:01. > :13:08.from a firing range and explosives The operation is being carried out
:13:09. > :13:13.at Skydock, which is at the former RAF Faldingworth base near Market
:13:14. > :13:14.Rasen. Police are working with military
:13:15. > :13:16.firearms experts after the Home Office withdrew a licence
:13:17. > :13:37.to store weapons. This has Ben dei two of a joint
:13:38. > :13:40.operation between Lincolnshire Police and military firearms experts
:13:41. > :13:45.and the police say it could take a number of days yet. They are seizing
:13:46. > :13:48.firearms at this site here because the Home Office has revoked the
:13:49. > :13:54.company's licensed under section five of the firearms act. The
:13:55. > :13:57.company is called Skydock, they have a firing age, explosives testing
:13:58. > :14:01.facilities and in the past, people have complained about the noise from
:14:02. > :14:04.here. That has been resolved. I have been speaking to people nearby to
:14:05. > :14:07.see what they think of what is happening now.
:14:08. > :14:11.The community here, I personally do not think it affects, it has not
:14:12. > :14:16.affected our lives at all. I think there are people locally, they do
:14:17. > :14:23.have concerns about it. Something has gone wrong somewhere. But the
:14:24. > :14:26.Home Office to react like they have. Something must have come to light
:14:27. > :14:33.but I have no speculation as to what I could be. Like I say, I did not
:14:34. > :14:39.know anything about it. It is news to me. We have spoken to
:14:40. > :14:43.Skydock who have declined to comment. The police have released a
:14:44. > :14:51.statement. They say the following the relocation of the license, we
:14:52. > :14:54.are seizing the weapons to maintain security and to ensure public
:14:55. > :15:01.safety. Those are the only details they have given us so far and no
:15:02. > :15:02.arrests have been made. Peter. Thank you very much. It is nearly

:15:13. > :15:16.took me ages and I don't know why it took me ages just

:16:23. > :16:26.of the week but I suspect much of next week and I would not be
:16:27. > :16:31.surprised next Monday afternoon, a long way off, temperatures of 16

:16:37. > :16:39.are just keeping an eye on this weather front that is bringing cloud
:16:40. > :16:44.from the south-west. A beautiful day. You have that picture from
:16:45. > :16:50.Hull. The clear blue skies. They will give way to the cloud pushing
:16:51. > :16:57.up from the south-west. A little bit of drizzle and mist. We will see
:16:58. > :17:01.temperatures about four or five Celsius. Generally six or seven

:17:14. > :17:18.rises, just before nine o'clock. -- seven o'clock. A bit of drizzle at
:17:19. > :17:22.first. Skies may well brighten for a time and then we have got another
:17:23. > :17:25.weather front which will later tomorrow afternoon bring some patchy
:17:26. > :17:29.outbreaks of rain in from the south-west. It looks like it is
:17:30. > :17:34.going to be quite wet tomorrow evening. Top temperatures, into
:17:35. > :17:42.double figures just about everywhere, 10 Celsius. Possibly the
:17:43. > :17:46.order 11. 52 Fahrenheit. A bit further ahead into Thursday and
