The headlines from BBC Look North this Thursday night. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
A narrow escape for a driver as a major storm hits our area - | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Road and Rail services are disrupted as high winds | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
It felt like something from a waterfall, you know when you hear | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
buildings crashing and walls crashing. It was quite frightening. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
And backing for a Sugar Tax as concern grows about | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
the increasing number of overweight youngsters. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
We have not seen the end of Storm Doris yet. I will have the full | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
I will have the full forecast shortly. | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
The impact of today's big storm has been felt | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, as thousands | :01:00. | :01:00. | |
of homes were left without power and trees were brought down. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Strong winds of up to seventy miles per hour ripped | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
through the area, blocking roads and disrupting public transport. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
One driver in Spalding had a lucky escape as a tree fell right | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
in front of his car, while another vehicle was crushed | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Our reporter Jill Archbold is in Beverley, where a busy road | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
was brought to a standstill by a fallen tree earlier. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
Yes, it's house. It all seems very calm this evening but there are | :01:26. | :01:42. | |
signs of the damage from earlier. A tree trunk collapsed on this | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
hedgerow. -- yes it is. The tree snapped in half and a few hours ago | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
it was lying across this busy route into Beverley. That has been the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
story of the day, countless images of trees across roads and pavements, | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
in some cases even uprooted from the ground. It has been a very busy | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
afternoon for emergency services who have been trying to react to this | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
short but powerful storm. Southern Lincolnshire | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
bore the brunt of Doris. In Spalding this driving instructor | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
witnessed first hand Waves whipped-up | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
by the wind made it slow And for those crossing the river | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
there've been safety concerns. The Humber Bridge - | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
closed to high-sided vehicles - but that closure is only advice - | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
and many have made the journey. At one point | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Lincolnshire Police said trees were falling faster | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
than they could tweet about them. And we've been send | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
dozens of your photos. In the centre of Lincoln | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
the wind was strong enough to bring down a wall - | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
damaging a car - There was a big gust of wind | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
and we saw the wall crashing down. It all happened like slow motion | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
and then you heard this really loud We have had strong winds before | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
but to witness something like By late afternoon it was estimated | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
that nearly 5,000 properties were without power across Lincolnshire - | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
and as darkness fell around half of those homes | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
were still waiting for repairs. At seven o'clock this evening, there | :03:21. | :03:38. | |
were 2500 homes across Lincolnshire who were still without power. As of | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
tonight 1600 homes are still waiting to be reconnected. Although there | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
have been reports of windows blown in and people swept off their feet, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
luckily it seems there haven't been any serious injuries in our region. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Thank you very much, weather forecast to fall. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
A motorcyclist has died following a crash in North Lincolnshire. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
The 37-year-old man was travelling on Holmes Lane in Bottesford | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
yesterday evening when his bike came off the road. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
And a 31-year-old cyclist died last night in Lincolnshire. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
It was following a collision with a car on the A158 | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
It happened at about quarter to nine. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Police are asking for any witnesses to come forward. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Fire crews were called out to tackle a fire | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Six fire engines were called to a storage building | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
for Dynex Semi-Conductors on Doddington Road. | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
It started just after four o'clock this afternoon. | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
A tax on sugary drinks will help to reduce the number | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
of overweight children in North Lincolnshire. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
That's according to a leading diet expert from the area, | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
where more than a fifth of children leaving primary school | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Families are now being given help to manage diets and lifestyles, | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
amid concerns the country faces a diabetes epidemic. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Our Health Correspondent Vicky Johnson has been looking at how | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
The soft drinks industry levy will be introduced in 2018, | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
allowing companies time to change their recipes. | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
The amount of tax will depend on the amount of sugar in the drink. | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Pure fruit juices and milk-based drinks will be exempt. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
The Government says it expects to raise more than half | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
a billion pounds from the tax in the first year alone. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Much of that will fund things like breakfast clubs and sports, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
to encourage children to eat and be healthier. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Sugar has become almost as big an enemy to our health, | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
according to some experts, as alcohol or tobacco. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Fanta, do we think that is higher or lower than the Slush Puppy? | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Part of the Get Going programme in North Lincolnshire aims | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
to educate families about nutrition, especially the sugar | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
We do a task around ketchup and also other sauces and people don't | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
realise how much sugar is in your sauces, your ketchups. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
The Volvic one really surprised me when I first did this. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
I used to drink quite a few of them and now I am like, what? | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
I understand that sometimes you have got to have sugar in these things | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
but I think the amount they put in can be a bit excessive. | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
More than 20% of children who leave primary schools across Lincolnshire | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
and East Yorkshire are classed as obese and the Sykes family say | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
they wanted to tackle their weight problems together. | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
I know the implications of the health issues, diabetes, etc, | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
and I didn't want them, going forward, | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
Last year, the then Chancellor weighed in with | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
I can announce that we will introduce a new sugar levy | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
I think fizzy drinks are a good thing to target and it's probably | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
an initial initiative that there are going to be | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
things which follow on from that, in other foods. | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
Sugary drinks don't contain any other nutrients. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
We're now seeing companies bringing their sugar | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
levels down by 40% which is way over what was asked | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
so the fear of God has been put in companies saying | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
unless you bring your sugar content down we will tax you. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
So the finance people are saying we're not having that and they're | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
So in the end it will be a win-win solution for everybody. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
But those involved in the sugar industry doubt it | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
Consumption per head of sugars has dropped by 15% and since 2001, | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
Others argue that this tax will hit the poor hardest and the focus | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
be on public health campaigns, rather than through this levy. | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
MPs from our area are warning that jobs at a Hull-based firm could be | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
lost as the government reviews a green energy scheme.Vivergo | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
is the largest supplier of biofuels in the UK. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Currently a percentage of fuel sold at petrol stations needs to come | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
from biofuels but Ministers have been consulting on plans | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
The Minister of State will recall at our meeting in December with | :08:00. | :08:16. | |
representatives from the company, where jobs are under threat. The | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
consultation has now closed, can the minister in light of us as to when | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
he will make a decision and avert the threat of redundancy? | :08:29. | :08:29. | |
Lincolnshire Police have crushed a car suspected | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
The force have seized a number of vehicles which were used to chase | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
It was a disappointing night for Hull FC in Super League. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
They were looking to go top of the table with a win | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
over Catalan Dragons - but lost a close game a short time | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
of the Bransholme Estate in Hull for its 50th birthday. | :08:49. | :09:03. | |
week the team have been at the North Point Shopping Centre | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
looking for people to feature in a new film about the estate. | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Filming of their stories has already begun. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
When we first moved in here, there was no boundary, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
so this room, our living room, was in Sutton, where | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
we could have a cup of tea and then we could walk | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
This is where we could have our dinner and our tea, | :09:27. | :09:41. | |
And tomorrow I'll be joining the team at North Point Shopping | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Centre in Bransholme between 11 and one so come and say hello. | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
It has been an unsettled day for most of us and we will be pleased to | :09:54. | :10:15. | |
hear that Storm Doris has left us. A few showers, blustery along the | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
coast. We could C temperatures of two or three Celsius. We could say | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
some icy patches in rural regions further inland. What a difference 24 | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
hours make. A lot of dry and bright weather tomorrow, sunshine in the | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
forecast. Highs of eight Celsius, the wind is much lighter. Saturday | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
receivers were front make its way us, rain throughout the day but much | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
more settled. That's it from us tonight, we are back in the morning. | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
I was see you tomorrow. Either at Branscombe or hear. Good night. | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
be much milder. I will leave you with Thomas Shelter. | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
Good evening. It was quite a day for some of us. We get these sort of | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
storms every couple of years also. Difficult to give an exact number, | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
but it was certainly a nasty one. It's | :11:23. | :11:23. |
