:00:00. > :00:00.Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:07. > :00:09.The headlines from BBC Look North this Wednesday night.

:00:10. > :00:13.The research in Lincoln that could mean people with Parkinson's

:00:14. > :00:18.And a Yorkshire whisky - farmers here set up a distillery

:00:19. > :00:28.and claim it can rival the traditional Scottish brands.

:00:29. > :00:41.Hull City me that the Premier League relegation zone with a massive win

:00:42. > :00:46.over Middlesbrough. Join me for the updated weather forecast.

:00:47. > :00:48.New research at the University of Lincoln could GREATLY

:00:49. > :00:50.improve our understanding of Parkinson's disease.

:00:51. > :00:51.There's currently no cure for the condition,

:00:52. > :00:54.which affects the brain and can lead to severe muscle

:00:55. > :01:00.But scientists studying eye movement in people with the disease

:01:01. > :01:02.believe their findings could lead to an earlier diagnosis and help

:01:03. > :01:15.Here's our Health Correspondent Vicky Johnson.

:01:16. > :01:23.Karen, from Lincoln, was only in her 40s when she was first diagnosed

:01:24. > :01:26.with Parkinson's. It can be horrendous, to the point of how many

:01:27. > :01:31.medications you have to take to control the symptoms, get out and

:01:32. > :01:34.about in public. People assume you're walking funny because you can

:01:35. > :01:40.be shabbily, they assume you are drunk. Every hour someone in the UK

:01:41. > :01:44.is told they have Parkinson's. High-profile sufferers include Billy

:01:45. > :01:51.Connelly, Bob Hoskins and of course Muhammad Ali. Parkinson's affects

:01:52. > :01:55.people differently. The main symptoms are shaking, and stiff

:01:56. > :01:58.muscles. People develop the condition when they don't produce

:01:59. > :02:03.enough of the chemical dopamine. Some of the nerve cells in their

:02:04. > :02:06.brain have died. As of yet there is no cure, but symptoms can be

:02:07. > :02:12.controlled through a combination of drugs, physiotherapy and

:02:13. > :02:15.occasionally surgery. This is why Karen has agreed to take part in

:02:16. > :02:23.research carried out at the University of Lincoln. They are

:02:24. > :02:28.using computerised eye trackers to analyse how people with Parkinson's

:02:29. > :02:33.control their eye movements. You can measure movements very precisely.

:02:34. > :02:37.Picking up subtle differences in people with Parkinson's, than those

:02:38. > :02:42.without. One potential benefit for that, maybe then made the sign to

:02:43. > :02:46.pick up early diagnosis and the condition. Part of the reason it is

:02:47. > :02:51.important, when symptoms of Parkinson's become obvious there may

:02:52. > :02:57.be up to half, more than half of the brain cells are affected. If we can

:02:58. > :03:02.catch it earlier, and accurately we will be in a better position to

:03:03. > :03:09.treat earlier and potentially slow, stop or reverse the condition. The

:03:10. > :03:13.last significant drugs discovery was 50 years ago for Parkinson's. While

:03:14. > :03:16.Karen has recently had brain surgery to ease symptoms, what she and other

:03:17. > :03:18.sufferers are looking for now is a breakthrough.

:03:19. > :03:26.People facing eviction from a chalet park in East Yorkshire say

:03:27. > :03:30.the council has treated them without compassion.

:03:31. > :03:33.Yesterday a judge threw out the case against William Flannigan -

:03:34. > :03:35.the owner of Lakeminster Park near Beverley - who had been

:03:36. > :03:37.accused of mis-selling homes for year-round use.

:03:38. > :03:40.People living on the site have been served an eviction notice

:03:41. > :03:42.by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, which say it'll help

:03:43. > :03:52.Coming in 2010, we have paid full continue their fight to stay.

:03:53. > :03:56.Coming in 2010, we have paid full council tax, had our bins emptied,

:03:57. > :03:59.voted. None of those things you do if you live in holiday home.

:04:00. > :04:01.Police say they've received 'a lot of information' following yesterdays

:04:02. > :04:04.appeal to missing mum Samantha Baldwin.

:04:05. > :04:05.The 40-year-old, who's from Newark, went

:04:06. > :04:09.It's believed she's with her two boys, six-year-old Lewis and nine

:04:10. > :04:12.Police say their inquiry is focussing on Nottinghamshire

:04:13. > :04:18.Genius Foods - which makes gluten-free food -

:04:19. > :04:21.is making more than half of its staff in Hull redundant.

:04:22. > :04:24.78 jobs will go at the bakery in the city.

:04:25. > :04:28.It was taken over by the company four years ago.

:04:29. > :04:33.Staff have been asked to take either voluntary or compulsory redundancy.

:04:34. > :04:34.Two North East Lincolnshire libraries have employed security

:04:35. > :04:36.guards to help them cope with disruption caused

:04:37. > :04:40.The council says groups of between 15 and 20 youngsters have

:04:41. > :04:42.been causing problems in Grimsby and Immingham -

:04:43. > :04:50.and that the security staff are a temporary measure.

:04:51. > :04:52.The Polish Ambassador to the United Kingdom says he's

:04:53. > :04:54.worried about what will happen to Polish people living

:04:55. > :04:58.in Boston as the Brexit process gets under way.

:04:59. > :05:01.He made the comments on a visit to the town today.

:05:02. > :05:05.Fifteen percent of people living in Boston were born outside the UK.

:05:06. > :05:07.The Prime Minister, Theresa May, says the free movement of people

:05:08. > :05:10.from the EU to the UK could be extended after Brexit.

:05:11. > :05:17.Seventy five percent of people in Boston voted to leave the EU.

:05:18. > :05:26.I hope that during negotiations it will be one of the first points,

:05:27. > :05:32.because the future of families, individuals, the future of companies

:05:33. > :05:34.of businessmen, and businesses from a very important. Uncertainty is a

:05:35. > :05:36.bad thing. Yorkshire's first whisky

:05:37. > :05:38.distillery has been built by farmers near Bridlington,

:05:39. > :05:40.who say they can compete with Farmers have been sending barley

:05:41. > :05:50.north of the border for years but have now decided to keep it

:05:51. > :05:53.closer to home, in hopes of creating a drink that'll one day

:05:54. > :05:56.be as popular as Scotch. The barley that's just starting

:05:57. > :06:00.to sprout in these fields on the Yorkshire Wolds used to end

:06:01. > :06:20.up in Scotland, used to make a drink The Yorkshire Wolves are the Premier

:06:21. > :06:22.barley growing area in the UK. 90% is grown in this area. We felt we

:06:23. > :06:34.had to keep summer that here. Whiskey is distilled beer like

:06:35. > :06:42.cognac brand wine. You are taking barley, you mail it. When mulled

:06:43. > :06:46.barley, grist and water meet something magical happens. Enzymes

:06:47. > :06:52.transmit starch and sugar. When used in each you get alcohol. The alcohol

:06:53. > :06:57.rises up, through the pipes, then convinces down. What you are left

:06:58. > :07:01.with is this clear and milky coloured liquid. I know what you are

:07:02. > :07:04.thinking, that does not look like whiskey. It is from the barrels that

:07:05. > :07:06.whiskey gets Keller. In fact it has to be in these

:07:07. > :07:09.barrels for at least three years before you can officially call

:07:10. > :07:11.it a whisky. They won't know how it tastes

:07:12. > :07:19.for another couple of years. We have Yorkshire barley, Yorkshire

:07:20. > :07:24.water from the farm. The people from Yorkshire running the distillery.

:07:25. > :07:27.The distilleries operating in Scotland, you can count on one hand

:07:28. > :07:32.the ones that have a similar ethos to us. We we can to make sure we

:07:33. > :07:33.create something bloody good to drink.

:07:34. > :07:40.The team also hope the distillery will become a must-see attraction

:07:41. > :07:49.with tourists holidaying on the Yorkshire coast.

:07:50. > :07:52.Hull City moved out of the Premier League relegation

:07:53. > :07:54.zone tonight with a vital win over Middlesbrough.

:07:55. > :07:57.The Tigers won 4-2 at the KCOM Stadium to go

:07:58. > :08:15.Hull City needed to get the job done, and in some style, too. 4-2

:08:16. > :08:17.win over strugglers Middlesbrough. Three goals in 20 minutes in the

:08:18. > :08:20.first half, and another one in the first half, and another one in the

:08:21. > :08:23.second half to make things say. That led to some very happy supporters

:08:24. > :08:29.coming out of the ground at full-time. Yes, I have started to

:08:30. > :08:31.believe it could be yet. We could be staying up. Fingers crossed with the

:08:32. > :08:38.next few matches. Really good feeling. Super. Right on the ball

:08:39. > :08:44.tonight, really quick. Never been more excited, better than my wedding

:08:45. > :08:49.day. Fantastic stuff. Get ready Manchester City, we're coming on

:08:50. > :08:53.Saturday. Manchester City better be ready, they're the next opponents

:08:54. > :08:57.for Hull City this weekend. This team will be really fired up. This

:08:58. > :09:02.result takes them out of the bottom three, out of the relegation zone,

:09:03. > :09:06.for the first time in five months. With seven games left to play, I

:09:07. > :09:07.would not bet against them doing it, staying in the Premier League next

:09:08. > :09:15.season. Great night for Hull City, I season. Great night for Hull City, I

:09:16. > :09:18.hope that chap's wife was not watching tonight. You can see the
