Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

:00:00.:00:00.

Humberside's top police officer steps down as chief constable.

:00:00.:00:12.

Lincoln City march in to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

:00:13.:00:23.

It was a high-energy, intense game. We enjoyed the encounter.

:00:24.:00:29.

And Lincoln City fans have not stopped shouting about it

:00:30.:00:32.

The city is absolutely buzzing. We are now known worldwide. It was

:00:33.:00:47.

insane, everyone was going mental, grown men crying, because of what

:00:48.:00:49.

they had done. Also on the programme tonight:

:00:50.:00:50.

Police forces in our area consider using special hoods to protect

:00:51.:00:53.

officers against people I can't think of anyone more

:00:54.:01:04.

horrible to do to someone than to spit at them, the saliva running

:01:05.:01:07.

down your cheek. The Hull singer Calum Scott

:01:08.:01:09.

returns to the city ahead It has been exceptionally mild

:01:10.:01:22.

today, 16 degrees, but the rest of the week looks very changeable. Join

:01:23.:01:25.

me for that week ahead forecast. The head of Humberside Police has

:01:26.:01:31.

announced that she is to quit. In a surprise announcement,

:01:32.:01:34.

Justine Curran will retire as Chief The decision to replace her

:01:35.:01:38.

was taken by the Police and Crime Commisioner,

:01:39.:01:42.

Keith Hunter, who warned in May the force had

:01:43.:01:44.

to improve after being rated Mr Hunter is with me in the studio

:01:45.:01:47.

tonight and we'll hear from him in a moment,

:01:48.:01:54.

but first Jill Archbold Justine Curran's arrival

:01:55.:01:56.

was heralded as a new era She's even recieved royal

:01:57.:02:01.

recognition for her services, but now the Chief Constable

:02:02.:02:06.

is retiring more than a year Under her charge, the force has been

:02:07.:02:09.

criticised for its response times and staffing levels but,

:02:10.:02:15.

just three months ago, she told There has been a huge amount of

:02:16.:02:28.

improvement but there is still more to do and I accept that. We are on a

:02:29.:02:32.

journey of improvement. In April 2013, Justine Curran

:02:33.:02:33.

was appointed Chief Constable In 2015, she introduce

:02:34.:02:35.

controversial changes to shift patterns that were unpopular

:02:36.:02:39.

with many of her officers. That October, her force was the only

:02:40.:02:44.

one in the country to be rated Three months ago, the force was once

:02:45.:02:47.

again told it required improvement. When Humberside's Police

:02:48.:02:58.

and Crime Commisioner took office, he said Justine Curran had six

:02:59.:02:59.

months to convince him Would you hesitate in sacking the

:03:00.:03:11.

Chief Constable if she was not doing what she needed to be doing? I would

:03:12.:03:17.

not hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to secure an efficient

:03:18.:03:21.

and effective police service for this area.

:03:22.:03:22.

But just three months ago, he said he had confidence in her leadership.

:03:23.:03:27.

I have been convinced that the leadership of the force is doing the

:03:28.:03:32.

right things to move the force forward and it isn't the best

:03:33.:03:36.

interests of Humberside Police and the best interests of the public it

:03:37.:03:40.

serves to leave that leadership term in place to deliver what it to.

:03:41.:03:47.

In a statement, Justine Curran said...

:03:48.:03:54.

Keith Hunter is the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner.

:03:55.:03:56.

Did you ask to leave? I presented her with my assessment of the state

:03:57.:04:11.

the force was then I asked her to consider her position. So that is

:04:12.:04:17.

yes? I asked to consider her position. She took the decision to

:04:18.:04:21.

leave on the basis of the assessment is presented to her of the force.

:04:22.:04:26.

What concerns did you have with the way that the force is progressing or

:04:27.:04:31.

not which brought you to say that? There are a number of issues.

:04:32.:04:35.

Firstly, I spoke to members the public. Those people who rely on

:04:36.:04:43.

police the most have less confidence in the police. There is an issue of

:04:44.:04:48.

the confidence of staff. Staff survey showing a lack of confidence

:04:49.:04:52.

and leadership that in a situation like that there is more than one

:04:53.:04:56.

person, there are plenty of other people, but she has to carry the

:04:57.:05:00.

can. There are issues around how they identify those issues would

:05:01.:05:04.

leadership and some of that was directly related to the Chief

:05:05.:05:08.

Constable. I believe that the leaders of public services should be

:05:09.:05:14.

held accountable. We saw that clip of that interview some while back.

:05:15.:05:20.

Did you always know that you would struggle with her? Absolutely not.

:05:21.:05:25.

We have actually had a reasonable professional relationship. When I

:05:26.:05:28.

made that statement, I was not aware of some of the issues coming out of

:05:29.:05:32.

the woodwork, the staff survey had not been done at the time and I have

:05:33.:05:38.

received recent feedback, which some of the improvements a stuttering,

:05:39.:05:43.

they are not necessarily sustainable and I feel as though the force

:05:44.:05:49.

cannot improve with a disengaged workforce and the leadership as it

:05:50.:05:52.

currently stands. So she's not doing good enough for use as she had to

:05:53.:05:59.

go? The people of this area are not having the police force the deserve.

:06:00.:06:04.

I think it needs new leadership to take it onto the next stage. So if

:06:05.:06:09.

anyone doubted whether you were ruthless, the proof is the night. I

:06:10.:06:14.

have always said I would do whatever necessary to deliver to the public

:06:15.:06:17.

of this area what I would deliver. Do you have anyone in mind for the

:06:18.:06:22.

job? I do not, I will go out tomorrow and appetites for that. I

:06:23.:06:26.

really want to recruit someone who's up for the challenge.

:06:27.:06:29.

1,000 recently-hatched chicks, which were found abandoned

:06:30.:06:32.

in South Lincolnshire, have had to be humanely killed.

:06:33.:06:36.

The chicks, which were about a day old, were discovered

:06:37.:06:38.

on the outskirts of Crowland on Friday.

:06:39.:06:41.

The RSPCA says, because they were found near a bird flu exclusion

:06:42.:06:44.

zone, it would have been too risky for the chicks to be rehomed.

:06:45.:06:49.

An investigation is now underway to find out who dumped them.

:06:50.:06:55.

I would consider this to be one of the most callous acts I've come

:06:56.:06:58.

There is no way they could've looked after themselves.

:06:59.:07:03.

All that would've happened to them is dying of cold and exposure,

:07:04.:07:06.

maybe being picked off by predators and scavengers and so on.

:07:07.:07:09.

Had these people not found the chicks within hours

:07:10.:07:11.

A chemical producer has announced it'll invest ?27 million

:07:12.:07:16.

Croda International says it's looking at increasing its output

:07:17.:07:20.

of chemicals, which are used in things like manufacturing

:07:21.:07:23.

The firm was founded at Rawcliffe near Goole in 1925 and now has

:07:24.:07:28.

It's been called a football miracle, a result so unexpected that it made

:07:29.:07:35.

headlines across the world - the multi-millionaire Premier League

:07:36.:07:38.

superstars of Burnley toppled by little Lincoln City.

:07:39.:07:42.

This was the goal that took a non-league club

:07:43.:07:44.

into the quarterfinals of the biggest club competition

:07:45.:07:47.

in world sport for the first time in over a century.

:07:48.:07:51.

Defender Sean Raggett's name will be forever written into FA Cup history.

:07:52.:07:57.

There were celebrations in the stadium ? 3,000 fans were there.

:07:58.:08:00.

And it was the same back home in Lincoln -

:08:01.:08:03.

pubs and bars packed with fans who couldn't get tickets to go.

:08:04.:08:07.

Next up, it's Arsenal or non-league Sutton.

:08:08.:08:10.

Five years ago, Lincoln were a club on its knees, on the brink

:08:11.:08:13.

Now they are one win from Wembley and three from winning

:08:14.:08:20.

Our correspondent, Leanne Brown, looks

:08:21.:08:24.

Lincoln have made history! The first time they have ever been in the FA

:08:25.:08:38.

Cup quarterfinals. The camera in the dressing

:08:39.:08:39.

room said it all. But if you needed words, magical,

:08:40.:08:41.

legendary and dramatic were used to describe the moment

:08:42.:08:44.

Lincoln City made history. I never is thought I would see

:08:45.:08:52.

Lincoln in the quarterfinals. I cannot believe a middle-aged woman

:08:53.:08:56.

has cried at a football match, unbelievable. It was absolutely

:08:57.:08:58.

amazing, and unreal atmosphere. Hailed as a miracle,

:08:59.:09:01.

the club's achievements led It was plastered all over the front

:09:02.:09:03.

pages of the press and the team's name was snapped on a billboard

:09:04.:09:07.

in Times Square in New York. Social media exploded

:09:08.:09:10.

with household names like Olly Murs tweeting,

:09:11.:09:14.

"Incredible!" And congratulations,

:09:15.:09:16.

too, from Ant and Dec. Local Hollywood actor

:09:17.:09:24.

Colin Mcfarlane has been talking about the win on local radio and has

:09:25.:09:28.

been getting requests worldwide. People are looking up where Lincoln

:09:29.:09:37.

is, people are calling me and tweeting me. It is incredible.

:09:38.:09:41.

In Lincoln city centre, shops where embracing the team's success.

:09:42.:09:48.

We had red and white everywhere, there was so much interest. But more

:09:49.:09:55.

than anything, it is the feel-good factor amongst staff and customers,

:09:56.:09:59.

it is exciting, everyone is talking about it.

:10:00.:10:00.

No other non-league club has gone this far.

:10:01.:10:02.

It was 1914, the year World War 1 broke out,

:10:03.:10:05.

that Queens Park Rangers made it to a similar stage.

:10:06.:10:08.

Definitely unprecedented in the world of football. There has not

:10:09.:10:12.

been a result like this ever. So far, the club have made

:10:13.:10:16.

?1.5 million from prize money, and that could double

:10:17.:10:19.

in the next round. But could they even

:10:20.:10:20.

win the competion? The Imps started out

:10:21.:10:24.

as 1,000-1 outsiders. But since their win at Burnley,

:10:25.:10:27.

their odds of winning the FA Cup have been slashed to 100-1

:10:28.:10:30.

and their chances of reaching The sky is the limit. We never

:10:31.:10:47.

thought we would get this far. We already said we would invest that

:10:48.:10:52.

money into the infrastructure. We have a stadium move on the cards. It

:10:53.:10:58.

opens up a whole raft of possibilities.

:10:59.:10:59.

Five years ago, Lincoln were a club on the brink

:11:00.:11:01.

Now they are one win away from Wembley as their FA

:11:02.:11:05.

Saturday was another remarkable day in Lincoln City's history.

:11:06.:11:10.

Our sports reporter, Simon Clark, has been at Sincil Bank this

:11:11.:11:13.

afternoon to look at the impact of that historic performance.

:11:14.:11:23.

Back to work. They may be the darlings of the FA Cup but today was

:11:24.:11:31.

business as usual. Danny Cowley reminding players the next game is

:11:32.:11:38.

the most important. The result and all that has gone on around that

:11:39.:11:43.

result would be tough for us and for me, it is a great challenge. I

:11:44.:11:47.

cannot wait for tomorrow night. And this cup run is making extra work

:11:48.:11:54.

for kit man. I'm putting in more hours than I have ever put in but it

:11:55.:11:59.

is quite enjoyable. The camaraderie within the club and within the town,

:12:00.:12:05.

the town is passing, it is really putting Lincoln on the map.

:12:06.:12:09.

From all angles this is the moment that rewrites

:12:10.:12:11.

not only Lincoln City but FA Cup history.

:12:12.:12:16.

This footage captured at the game by Mark Evans

:12:17.:12:23.

Today he and his mate Ollie Cooper have been trying to comprehend

:12:24.:12:27.

Sean Raggett is just absolutely amazing.

:12:28.:12:32.

Danny Cowley, the best thing that has happened since Graham Taylor.

:12:33.:12:35.

Everyone was going absolutely mental.

:12:36.:12:42.

Grown men crying because of what they've done.

:12:43.:12:46.

While all this media attention and publicity is welcome, the one think

:12:47.:12:59.

you hear today over and over again is that the most important game is

:13:00.:13:06.

North Berwick United, and that is because this club will not be judged

:13:07.:13:11.

on how well it does against Arsenal or Sutton, but how well it does in

:13:12.:13:16.

the league and three points tomorrow will be very useful indeed.

:13:17.:13:19.

Danny Cowley is the Lincoln City manager.

:13:20.:13:21.

Earlier, I asked him if the players realised fully

:13:22.:13:23.

I am not so sure, really. I said to them this morning, don't

:13:24.:13:38.

underestimate what you have achieved. This is the greatest cup

:13:39.:13:44.

competition in the world, 100 years since a non-league team got the last

:13:45.:13:50.

eight of the competition, an unbelievable achievement, incredibly

:13:51.:13:53.

proud of the players, I thought they were all magnificent on Saturday.

:13:54.:13:57.

What do you think of the fans? They have been through a lot over the

:13:58.:14:04.

years. Our supporters, unbelievable, they have been brilliant, they have

:14:05.:14:08.

been a huge part of our success, they have made a huge contribution

:14:09.:14:10.

to what we have done, so delighted for them, they have had tough times

:14:11.:14:15.

in recent years and I am just delighted that they are able to

:14:16.:14:19.

support the team and have pride in the team and have been part of the

:14:20.:14:22.

fantastic journey we have all been on. What would you ideally like to

:14:23.:14:29.

happen tonight? Who do you want to win and who do you want to play? For

:14:30.:14:38.

us, it is a win-win. I have played all my career in semiprofessional

:14:39.:14:41.

football so from that perspective I would like Sutton to win, it would

:14:42.:14:45.

be great for the non-league game to have two teams in the last eight of

:14:46.:14:51.

the competition and one through to the semifinals. If Sutton not able

:14:52.:14:58.

to do it, we have a trip to the emirates to play Arsene Wenger's

:14:59.:15:04.

arsenal. Can you beat them? Sutton or Arsenal? Arsenal! Who thought we

:15:05.:15:13.

would get to the last eight of this competition? We have been through

:15:14.:15:18.

six rounds, anything is possible in trouble. If it is Arsenal we played,

:15:19.:15:22.

we will go there with a game plan with the best version of ourselves.

:15:23.:15:27.

I wish you all the best, thank you very much indeed. Lovely man. That's

:15:28.:15:36.

Sutton, Arsenal game is on BBC One tonight.

:15:37.:15:37.

Still ahead tonight: Special hoods to protect officers against people

:15:38.:15:40.

And we'll hear from the Hull singer Calum Scott as he returns

:15:41.:15:51.

The East Yorkshire Wolds taken from Whitton by Tracy Marsden.

:15:52.:16:15.

Many messages but one of my favourites was, I realised how sad I

:16:16.:16:21.

have become when I listen to the weather show at the weekend. It is

:16:22.:16:27.

an insomniac's delight! It is radio, you do not watch it.

:16:28.:16:34.

It is on every weekend, in case you mist it. The headline for the next

:16:35.:16:41.

24 hours is not too bad, mostly dry and bright with some sunshine

:16:42.:16:45.

tomorrow. Trouble in store on Thursday. This potentially deep area

:16:46.:16:51.

of low pressure will bring strong winds and the chance of some heavy

:16:52.:16:57.

rain. That is Wednesday night in the Thursday. Today, we have had 16

:16:58.:17:05.

degrees around the wash. The cloud is now breaking up nicely. As we

:17:06.:17:12.

head to the course of this evening and overnight, we will see variable

:17:13.:17:16.

amounts of cloud. It might pick the time to bring a little patchy light

:17:17.:17:21.

rain into the far south of our area but to the north, it is dry and that

:17:22.:17:28.

strong wind will slowly ease, lowest temperatures across East Yorkshire.

:17:29.:17:34.

Down to five Celsius. The sun rises in the morning at 7:10am. Not too

:17:35.:17:44.

bad tomorrow, but the dampness first thing. A bright morning with decent

:17:45.:17:53.

spells of sunshine, all the morning. Later in the afternoon, cloud will

:17:54.:17:58.

increase tomorrow evening, this next area of rain crosses into and what

:17:59.:18:03.

part of the world. Much less windy so it will feel springlike. 11 or 12

:18:04.:18:10.

sunshine. The average for this plight of the year is seven Celsius.

:18:11.:18:15.

Rain first thing on Wednesday, Brighton dray on Wednesday

:18:16.:18:19.

afternoon, potentially wet and windy.

:18:20.:18:26.

Special hoods could be used by police officers in East Yorkshire

:18:27.:18:43.

and Lincolnshire to protect them against people who try

:18:44.:18:45.

The fabric guards are already used by some forces but are controversial

:18:46.:18:49.

with campaigners, claiming they are cruel and degrading.

:18:50.:18:53.

This is what police forces in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

:18:54.:19:03.

are considering to stop more aggressive suspects

:19:04.:19:05.

Hundreds of officers are assaulted every year, including PC Eglen.

:19:06.:19:13.

He was in the car taking an arrested man to the station.

:19:14.:19:17.

We got up to a point where we were travelling on the A63

:19:18.:19:20.

He turned around and spat in my face.

:19:21.:19:23.

I can't think of anything more horrible that somebody could do

:19:24.:19:26.

To feel the saliva running down your cheek.

:19:27.:19:30.

A third of the country's police forces use spit guards or hoods

:19:31.:19:32.

although they're not something meant to be used often.

:19:33.:19:35.

Officers receive training in how and when they should use one.

:19:36.:19:37.

Examples might be an arrested person who is threatening to spit

:19:38.:19:40.

at or bite a police officer or if they've already done it once

:19:41.:19:43.

Humberside Police Federation wants officers issued with spit hoods.

:19:44.:19:53.

It is essential that they have that. Officers continue to be sorted for a

:19:54.:19:59.

whole range of things and happens daily. This sort of protection

:20:00.:20:08.

equipment is needed, unfortunately. You cannot monitor the health and

:20:09.:20:12.

safety of the individual who is being put it at a time which is

:20:13.:20:16.

likely to be volatile and other forms of restraint are likely to be

:20:17.:20:21.

used, and there is always the risk of serious injury and death. Will

:20:22.:20:28.

police officers in our area soon be using these? Humberside Police said

:20:29.:20:37.

they are considering the use. Lincolnshire Police says they will

:20:38.:20:41.

consider using them. I wanted to personally check what it feels like

:20:42.:20:45.

using one. I walked around the house and bought it at the gym. I was

:20:46.:20:49.

still able to breathe and move around in the something I would use.

:20:50.:20:55.

Currently, officers like PC Eglen can only resort

:20:56.:20:57.

to pushing down someone's head if they think they'll spit.

:20:58.:21:00.

The debate about whether this is a good alternative goes on.

:21:01.:21:02.

Are they a safe way for officers to protect themselves or do

:21:03.:21:07.

you agree with campaigners who say they are cruel and degrading?

:21:08.:21:20.

Three of the five gold statues hidden in a treasure hunt

:21:21.:21:23.

in North Lincolnshire have been found.

:21:24.:21:26.

They're worth thousands of pounds and have been hidden by an artist.

:21:27.:21:29.

The three so far have been found in a Scunthorpe park

:21:30.:21:33.

near the bandstand in Brigg and at Normanby Hall.

:21:34.:21:37.

The BBC is asking people to help remember their local musical hero

:21:38.:21:43.

People can send in their suggestions - it can be a musician or a venue.

:21:44.:21:48.

Each BBC local radio station will erect a plaque for their area

:21:49.:21:51.

and they'll be unveiled on BBC Music Day in June.

:21:52.:21:59.

He is a Hull boy who's gone from singing in the pubs of Hull

:22:00.:22:04.

On Wednesday, Calum Scott will find out whether he has won one

:22:05.:22:09.

of the biggest honours in British music - a Brit Award for his debut

:22:10.:22:13.

Congratulations, by the way. Do you think this fame has changed you? I'm

:22:14.:22:47.

still exactly the same and one I get my time back, I always come back to

:22:48.:22:52.

Hull, see my friends and family. Do you travel around in a car with

:22:53.:22:59.

blacked out windows and your own make-up artist? I am living the

:23:00.:23:06.

dream. Dancing On My Own was the most downloaded song in the UK last

:23:07.:23:10.
