:00:13. > :00:23.Lincoln City march in to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
:00:24. > :00:29.It was a high-energy, intense game. We enjoyed the encounter.
:00:30. > :00:32.And Lincoln City fans have not stopped shouting about it
:00:33. > :00:47.The city is absolutely buzzing. We are now known worldwide. It was
:00:48. > :00:49.insane, everyone was going mental, grown men crying, because of what
:00:50. > :00:50.they had done. Also on the programme tonight:
:00:51. > :00:53.Police forces in our area consider using special hoods to protect
:00:54. > :01:04.officers against people I can't think of anyone more
:01:05. > :01:07.horrible to do to someone than to spit at them, the saliva running
:01:08. > :01:09.down your cheek. The Hull singer Calum Scott
:01:10. > :01:22.returns to the city ahead It has been exceptionally mild
:01:23. > :01:25.today, 16 degrees, but the rest of the week looks very changeable. Join
:01:26. > :01:31.me for that week ahead forecast. The head of Humberside Police has
:01:32. > :01:34.announced that she is to quit. In a surprise announcement,
:01:35. > :01:38.Justine Curran will retire as Chief The decision to replace her
:01:39. > :01:42.was taken by the Police and Crime Commisioner,
:01:43. > :01:44.Keith Hunter, who warned in May the force had
:01:45. > :01:47.to improve after being rated Mr Hunter is with me in the studio
:01:48. > :01:54.tonight and we'll hear from him in a moment,
:01:55. > :01:56.but first Jill Archbold Justine Curran's arrival
:01:57. > :02:01.was heralded as a new era She's even recieved royal
:02:02. > :02:06.recognition for her services, but now the Chief Constable
:02:07. > :02:09.is retiring more than a year Under her charge, the force has been
:02:10. > :02:15.criticised for its response times and staffing levels but,
:02:16. > :02:28.just three months ago, she told There has been a huge amount of
:02:29. > :02:32.improvement but there is still more to do and I accept that. We are on a
:02:33. > :02:33.journey of improvement. In April 2013, Justine Curran
:02:34. > :02:35.was appointed Chief Constable In 2015, she introduce
:02:36. > :02:39.controversial changes to shift patterns that were unpopular
:02:40. > :02:44.with many of her officers. That October, her force was the only
:02:45. > :02:47.one in the country to be rated Three months ago, the force was once
:02:48. > :02:58.again told it required improvement. When Humberside's Police
:02:59. > :02:59.and Crime Commisioner took office, he said Justine Curran had six
:03:00. > :03:11.months to convince him Would you hesitate in sacking the
:03:12. > :03:17.Chief Constable if she was not doing what she needed to be doing? I would
:03:18. > :03:21.not hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to secure an efficient
:03:22. > :03:22.and effective police service for this area.
:03:23. > :03:27.But just three months ago, he said he had confidence in her leadership.
:03:28. > :03:32.I have been convinced that the leadership of the force is doing the
:03:33. > :03:36.right things to move the force forward and it isn't the best
:03:37. > :03:40.interests of Humberside Police and the best interests of the public it
:03:41. > :03:47.serves to leave that leadership term in place to deliver what it to.
:03:48. > :03:54.In a statement, Justine Curran said...
:03:55. > :03:56.Keith Hunter is the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner.
:03:57. > :04:11.Did you ask to leave? I presented her with my assessment of the state
:04:12. > :04:17.the force was then I asked her to consider her position. So that is
:04:18. > :04:21.yes? I asked to consider her position. She took the decision to
:04:22. > :04:26.leave on the basis of the assessment is presented to her of the force.
:04:27. > :04:31.What concerns did you have with the way that the force is progressing or
:04:32. > :04:35.not which brought you to say that? There are a number of issues.
:04:36. > :04:43.Firstly, I spoke to members the public. Those people who rely on
:04:44. > :04:48.police the most have less confidence in the police. There is an issue of
:04:49. > :04:52.the confidence of staff. Staff survey showing a lack of confidence
:04:53. > :04:56.and leadership that in a situation like that there is more than one
:04:57. > :05:00.person, there are plenty of other people, but she has to carry the
:05:01. > :05:04.can. There are issues around how they identify those issues would
:05:05. > :05:08.leadership and some of that was directly related to the Chief
:05:09. > :05:14.Constable. I believe that the leaders of public services should be
:05:15. > :05:20.held accountable. We saw that clip of that interview some while back.
:05:21. > :05:25.Did you always know that you would struggle with her? Absolutely not.
:05:26. > :05:28.We have actually had a reasonable professional relationship. When I
:05:29. > :05:32.made that statement, I was not aware of some of the issues coming out of
:05:33. > :05:38.the woodwork, the staff survey had not been done at the time and I have
:05:39. > :05:43.received recent feedback, which some of the improvements a stuttering,
:05:44. > :05:49.they are not necessarily sustainable and I feel as though the force
:05:50. > :05:52.cannot improve with a disengaged workforce and the leadership as it
:05:53. > :05:59.currently stands. So she's not doing good enough for use as she had to
:06:00. > :06:04.go? The people of this area are not having the police force the deserve.
:06:05. > :06:09.I think it needs new leadership to take it onto the next stage. So if
:06:10. > :06:14.anyone doubted whether you were ruthless, the proof is the night. I
:06:15. > :06:17.have always said I would do whatever necessary to deliver to the public
:06:18. > :06:22.of this area what I would deliver. Do you have anyone in mind for the
:06:23. > :06:26.job? I do not, I will go out tomorrow and appetites for that. I
:06:27. > :06:29.really want to recruit someone who's up for the challenge.
:06:30. > :06:32.1,000 recently-hatched chicks, which were found abandoned
:06:33. > :06:36.in South Lincolnshire, have had to be humanely killed.
:06:37. > :06:38.The chicks, which were about a day old, were discovered
:06:39. > :06:41.on the outskirts of Crowland on Friday.
:06:42. > :06:44.The RSPCA says, because they were found near a bird flu exclusion
:06:45. > :06:49.zone, it would have been too risky for the chicks to be rehomed.
:06:50. > :06:55.An investigation is now underway to find out who dumped them.
:06:56. > :06:58.I would consider this to be one of the most callous acts I've come
:06:59. > :07:03.There is no way they could've looked after themselves.
:07:04. > :07:06.All that would've happened to them is dying of cold and exposure,
:07:07. > :07:09.maybe being picked off by predators and scavengers and so on.
:07:10. > :07:11.Had these people not found the chicks within hours
:07:12. > :07:16.A chemical producer has announced it'll invest ?27 million
:07:17. > :07:20.Croda International says it's looking at increasing its output
:07:21. > :07:23.of chemicals, which are used in things like manufacturing
:07:24. > :07:28.The firm was founded at Rawcliffe near Goole in 1925 and now has
:07:29. > :07:35.It's been called a football miracle, a result so unexpected that it made
:07:36. > :07:38.headlines across the world - the multi-millionaire Premier League
:07:39. > :07:42.superstars of Burnley toppled by little Lincoln City.
:07:43. > :07:44.This was the goal that took a non-league club
:07:45. > :07:47.into the quarterfinals of the biggest club competition
:07:48. > :07:51.in world sport for the first time in over a century.
:07:52. > :07:57.Defender Sean Raggett's name will be forever written into FA Cup history.
:07:58. > :08:00.There were celebrations in the stadium ? 3,000 fans were there.
:08:01. > :08:03.And it was the same back home in Lincoln -
:08:04. > :08:07.pubs and bars packed with fans who couldn't get tickets to go.
:08:08. > :08:10.Next up, it's Arsenal or non-league Sutton.
:08:11. > :08:13.Five years ago, Lincoln were a club on its knees, on the brink
:08:14. > :08:20.Now they are one win from Wembley and three from winning
:08:21. > :08:24.Our correspondent, Leanne Brown, looks
:08:25. > :08:38.Lincoln have made history! The first time they have ever been in the FA
:08:39. > :08:39.Cup quarterfinals. The camera in the dressing
:08:40. > :08:41.room said it all. But if you needed words, magical,
:08:42. > :08:44.legendary and dramatic were used to describe the moment
:08:45. > :08:52.Lincoln City made history. I never is thought I would see
:08:53. > :08:56.Lincoln in the quarterfinals. I cannot believe a middle-aged woman
:08:57. > :08:58.has cried at a football match, unbelievable. It was absolutely
:08:59. > :09:01.amazing, and unreal atmosphere. Hailed as a miracle,
:09:02. > :09:03.the club's achievements led It was plastered all over the front
:09:04. > :09:07.pages of the press and the team's name was snapped on a billboard
:09:08. > :09:10.in Times Square in New York. Social media exploded
:09:11. > :09:14.with household names like Olly Murs tweeting,
:09:15. > :09:16."Incredible!" And congratulations,
:09:17. > :09:24.too, from Ant and Dec. Local Hollywood actor
:09:25. > :09:28.Colin Mcfarlane has been talking about the win on local radio and has
:09:29. > :09:37.been getting requests worldwide. People are looking up where Lincoln
:09:38. > :09:41.is, people are calling me and tweeting me. It is incredible.
:09:42. > :09:48.In Lincoln city centre, shops where embracing the team's success.
:09:49. > :09:55.We had red and white everywhere, there was so much interest. But more
:09:56. > :09:59.than anything, it is the feel-good factor amongst staff and customers,
:10:00. > :10:00.it is exciting, everyone is talking about it.
:10:01. > :10:02.No other non-league club has gone this far.
:10:03. > :10:05.It was 1914, the year World War 1 broke out,
:10:06. > :10:08.that Queens Park Rangers made it to a similar stage.
:10:09. > :10:12.Definitely unprecedented in the world of football. There has not
:10:13. > :10:16.been a result like this ever. So far, the club have made
:10:17. > :10:19.?1.5 million from prize money, and that could double
:10:20. > :10:20.in the next round. But could they even
:10:21. > :10:24.win the competion? The Imps started out
:10:25. > :10:27.as 1,000-1 outsiders. But since their win at Burnley,
:10:28. > :10:30.their odds of winning the FA Cup have been slashed to 100-1
:10:31. > :10:47.and their chances of reaching The sky is the limit. We never
:10:48. > :10:52.thought we would get this far. We already said we would invest that
:10:53. > :10:58.money into the infrastructure. We have a stadium move on the cards. It
:10:59. > :10:59.opens up a whole raft of possibilities.
:11:00. > :11:01.Five years ago, Lincoln were a club on the brink
:11:02. > :11:05.Now they are one win away from Wembley as their FA
:11:06. > :11:10.Saturday was another remarkable day in Lincoln City's history.
:11:11. > :11:13.Our sports reporter, Simon Clark, has been at Sincil Bank this
:11:14. > :11:23.afternoon to look at the impact of that historic performance.
:11:24. > :11:31.Back to work. They may be the darlings of the FA Cup but today was
:11:32. > :11:38.business as usual. Danny Cowley reminding players the next game is
:11:39. > :11:43.the most important. The result and all that has gone on around that
:11:44. > :11:47.result would be tough for us and for me, it is a great challenge. I
:11:48. > :11:54.cannot wait for tomorrow night. And this cup run is making extra work
:11:55. > :11:59.for kit man. I'm putting in more hours than I have ever put in but it
:12:00. > :12:05.is quite enjoyable. The camaraderie within the club and within the town,
:12:06. > :12:09.the town is passing, it is really putting Lincoln on the map.
:12:10. > :12:11.From all angles this is the moment that rewrites
:12:12. > :12:16.not only Lincoln City but FA Cup history.
:12:17. > :12:23.This footage captured at the game by Mark Evans
:12:24. > :12:27.Today he and his mate Ollie Cooper have been trying to comprehend
:12:28. > :12:32.Sean Raggett is just absolutely amazing.
:12:33. > :12:35.Danny Cowley, the best thing that has happened since Graham Taylor.
:12:36. > :12:42.Everyone was going absolutely mental.
:12:43. > :12:46.Grown men crying because of what they've done.
:12:47. > :12:59.While all this media attention and publicity is welcome, the one think
:13:00. > :13:06.you hear today over and over again is that the most important game is
:13:07. > :13:11.North Berwick United, and that is because this club will not be judged
:13:12. > :13:16.on how well it does against Arsenal or Sutton, but how well it does in
:13:17. > :13:19.the league and three points tomorrow will be very useful indeed.
:13:20. > :13:21.Danny Cowley is the Lincoln City manager.
:13:22. > :13:23.Earlier, I asked him if the players realised fully
:13:24. > :13:38.I am not so sure, really. I said to them this morning, don't
:13:39. > :13:44.underestimate what you have achieved. This is the greatest cup
:13:45. > :13:50.competition in the world, 100 years since a non-league team got the last
:13:51. > :13:53.eight of the competition, an unbelievable achievement, incredibly
:13:54. > :13:57.proud of the players, I thought they were all magnificent on Saturday.
:13:58. > :14:04.What do you think of the fans? They have been through a lot over the
:14:05. > :14:08.years. Our supporters, unbelievable, they have been brilliant, they have
:14:09. > :14:10.been a huge part of our success, they have made a huge contribution
:14:11. > :14:15.to what we have done, so delighted for them, they have had tough times
:14:16. > :14:19.in recent years and I am just delighted that they are able to
:14:20. > :14:22.support the team and have pride in the team and have been part of the
:14:23. > :14:29.fantastic journey we have all been on. What would you ideally like to
:14:30. > :14:38.happen tonight? Who do you want to win and who do you want to play? For
:14:39. > :14:41.us, it is a win-win. I have played all my career in semiprofessional
:14:42. > :14:45.football so from that perspective I would like Sutton to win, it would
:14:46. > :14:51.be great for the non-league game to have two teams in the last eight of
:14:52. > :14:58.the competition and one through to the semifinals. If Sutton not able
:14:59. > :15:04.to do it, we have a trip to the emirates to play Arsene Wenger's
:15:05. > :15:13.arsenal. Can you beat them? Sutton or Arsenal? Arsenal! Who thought we
:15:14. > :15:18.would get to the last eight of this competition? We have been through
:15:19. > :15:22.six rounds, anything is possible in trouble. If it is Arsenal we played,
:15:23. > :15:27.we will go there with a game plan with the best version of ourselves.
:15:28. > :15:36.I wish you all the best, thank you very much indeed. Lovely man. That's
:15:37. > :15:37.Sutton, Arsenal game is on BBC One tonight.
:15:38. > :15:40.Still ahead tonight: Special hoods to protect officers against people
:15:41. > :15:51.And we'll hear from the Hull singer Calum Scott as he returns
:15:52. > :16:15.The East Yorkshire Wolds taken from Whitton by Tracy Marsden.
:16:16. > :16:21.Many messages but one of my favourites was, I realised how sad I
:16:22. > :16:27.have become when I listen to the weather show at the weekend. It is
:16:28. > :16:34.an insomniac's delight! It is radio, you do not watch it.
:16:35. > :16:41.It is on every weekend, in case you mist it. The headline for the next
:16:42. > :16:45.24 hours is not too bad, mostly dry and bright with some sunshine
:16:46. > :16:51.tomorrow. Trouble in store on Thursday. This potentially deep area
:16:52. > :16:57.of low pressure will bring strong winds and the chance of some heavy
:16:58. > :17:05.rain. That is Wednesday night in the Thursday. Today, we have had 16
:17:06. > :17:12.degrees around the wash. The cloud is now breaking up nicely. As we
:17:13. > :17:16.head to the course of this evening and overnight, we will see variable
:17:17. > :17:21.amounts of cloud. It might pick the time to bring a little patchy light
:17:22. > :17:28.rain into the far south of our area but to the north, it is dry and that
:17:29. > :17:34.strong wind will slowly ease, lowest temperatures across East Yorkshire.
:17:35. > :17:44.Down to five Celsius. The sun rises in the morning at 7:10am. Not too
:17:45. > :17:53.bad tomorrow, but the dampness first thing. A bright morning with decent
:17:54. > :17:58.spells of sunshine, all the morning. Later in the afternoon, cloud will
:17:59. > :18:03.increase tomorrow evening, this next area of rain crosses into and what
:18:04. > :18:10.part of the world. Much less windy so it will feel springlike. 11 or 12
:18:11. > :18:15.sunshine. The average for this plight of the year is seven Celsius.
:18:16. > :18:19.Rain first thing on Wednesday, Brighton dray on Wednesday
:18:20. > :18:26.afternoon, potentially wet and windy.
:18:27. > :18:43.Special hoods could be used by police officers in East Yorkshire
:18:44. > :18:45.and Lincolnshire to protect them against people who try
:18:46. > :18:49.The fabric guards are already used by some forces but are controversial
:18:50. > :18:53.with campaigners, claiming they are cruel and degrading.
:18:54. > :19:03.This is what police forces in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
:19:04. > :19:05.are considering to stop more aggressive suspects
:19:06. > :19:13.Hundreds of officers are assaulted every year, including PC Eglen.
:19:14. > :19:17.He was in the car taking an arrested man to the station.
:19:18. > :19:20.We got up to a point where we were travelling on the A63
:19:21. > :19:23.He turned around and spat in my face.
:19:24. > :19:26.I can't think of anything more horrible that somebody could do
:19:27. > :19:30.To feel the saliva running down your cheek.
:19:31. > :19:32.A third of the country's police forces use spit guards or hoods
:19:33. > :19:35.although they're not something meant to be used often.
:19:36. > :19:37.Officers receive training in how and when they should use one.
:19:38. > :19:40.Examples might be an arrested person who is threatening to spit
:19:41. > :19:43.at or bite a police officer or if they've already done it once
:19:44. > :19:53.Humberside Police Federation wants officers issued with spit hoods.
:19:54. > :19:59.It is essential that they have that. Officers continue to be sorted for a
:20:00. > :20:08.whole range of things and happens daily. This sort of protection
:20:09. > :20:12.equipment is needed, unfortunately. You cannot monitor the health and
:20:13. > :20:16.safety of the individual who is being put it at a time which is
:20:17. > :20:21.likely to be volatile and other forms of restraint are likely to be
:20:22. > :20:28.used, and there is always the risk of serious injury and death. Will
:20:29. > :20:37.police officers in our area soon be using these? Humberside Police said
:20:38. > :20:41.they are considering the use. Lincolnshire Police says they will
:20:42. > :20:45.consider using them. I wanted to personally check what it feels like
:20:46. > :20:49.using one. I walked around the house and bought it at the gym. I was
:20:50. > :20:55.still able to breathe and move around in the something I would use.
:20:56. > :20:57.Currently, officers like PC Eglen can only resort
:20:58. > :21:00.to pushing down someone's head if they think they'll spit.
:21:01. > :21:02.The debate about whether this is a good alternative goes on.
:21:03. > :21:07.Are they a safe way for officers to protect themselves or do
:21:08. > :21:20.you agree with campaigners who say they are cruel and degrading?
:21:21. > :21:23.Three of the five gold statues hidden in a treasure hunt
:21:24. > :21:26.in North Lincolnshire have been found.
:21:27. > :21:29.They're worth thousands of pounds and have been hidden by an artist.
:21:30. > :21:33.The three so far have been found in a Scunthorpe park
:21:34. > :21:37.near the bandstand in Brigg and at Normanby Hall.
:21:38. > :21:43.The BBC is asking people to help remember their local musical hero
:21:44. > :21:48.People can send in their suggestions - it can be a musician or a venue.
:21:49. > :21:51.Each BBC local radio station will erect a plaque for their area
:21:52. > :21:59.and they'll be unveiled on BBC Music Day in June.
:22:00. > :22:04.He is a Hull boy who's gone from singing in the pubs of Hull
:22:05. > :22:09.On Wednesday, Calum Scott will find out whether he has won one
:22:10. > :22:13.of the biggest honours in British music - a Brit Award for his debut
:22:14. > :22:47.Congratulations, by the way. Do you think this fame has changed you? I'm
:22:48. > :22:52.still exactly the same and one I get my time back, I always come back to
:22:53. > :22:59.Hull, see my friends and family. Do you travel around in a car with
:23:00. > :23:06.blacked out windows and your own make-up artist? I am living the
:23:07. > :23:10.dream. Dancing On My Own was the most downloaded song in the UK last
:23:11. > :23:15.summer. It started off quite slowly then suddenly took off. It reacted
