jailed for 19 years at Hull Crown Court, the foster carer | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
who sexually abused children in his care. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
We can't show him to protect his victims, | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
which include his own granddaughter. | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
Also - the undercover police targeting speeding bikers on country | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Only in the last week we have seen speeds | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
of well over 100 mph, and that is just too fast | :00:34. | :00:37. | |

How long will this try whether last? Join me for the latest update. -- | :00:42. | :00:57. | |
dry weather. A former foster carer from Hull | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
who raped his granddaughter and sexually abused other children | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
has been jailed for 19 years. We can't name the 64-year-old man | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
to protect the identity of his victims, but they also | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
include children placed in his care Concerns were first raised in 2011, | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
when neighbours became worried about noises and started | :01:16. | :01:27. | |
to record them. The footage showed sexually | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
inappropriate remarks from the carer to children he was supposed | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
to be looking after. At the time, there wasn't enough | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
evidence to prosecute, but the children were taken away | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
and he was told he could Two years ago, one of | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
the victims came forward, He was then charged | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
with ten counts of sexual offences against children, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
which he pleaded guilty to. Now he has been found guilty | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
of two more sex offences, this time against a member | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
of his own family To be clear, we are only unable | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
to report the name of the man because doing so could mean some | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
of his victims may be identified. Judge Richardson told | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the man the sentence was designed to punish him | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
as well as protect the public. He said, "You are | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
the architect of this "calamitous situation. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
The emotional wounds "will take a very long time | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
to heal for all concerned. "You visited immense cruelty | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
upon the victims of your crimes... The judge added that, | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
given the seriousness of the case, Hull City Council should | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
hold an enquiry. The authority said today that | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
a review had already been carried out and found no missed | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
opportunities to protect children, but that the authority would read | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
the full report from the judge A woman has been summoned | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
to court more than a year after a baby boy was found dead | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
in a drain in Grimsby. It happened at this | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
property on Scartho Road 28-year-old Sinead Connett | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
from Hertford near London is due She faces a charge of | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
concealment of birth. Humberside Police are using | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
undercover officers to try to catch Bikers have been filmed | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
travelling more than 100mph on narrow country roads | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
in East Yorkshire over Katy Austin reports | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
from the Yorkshire Wolds. They say country roads like the ones | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
around here are attractive to people want to take their motorbikes out | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
for a spin, but police are concerned because they say quite a number | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
of them are going far too fast. One rider was filmed | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
in reaching speeds of 118 They were caught by a camera | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
fitted to an unmarked motorbike being ridden | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
by an undercover police officer. Police say riders going that fast | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
are putting themselves in huge danger because they don't | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
have any protection against oncoming Only in the last week we have seen | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
speeds of well over 100 mph, and that is just too fast | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
for our roads in East Riding. They are risking their own lives, | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
and unfortunately having been a traffic officer who has had to | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
knock on a number of doors to give some really bad news, it is not good | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
for the families, the medical teams and everyone who | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
suffers as a result. Two motorcyclists have already died | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
on the roads of East Yorkshire so far this year, and though police | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
say the causes of those incidents are still being investigated, | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
they say motorcyclists make up 20% of road casualties | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
in the area despite making They say riders caught | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
going at higher speeds can end up in court, | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
but more importantly, they are a risk | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
to themselves and everyone else. Researchers from the University of | :04:49. | :05:08. | |
Hull are trying to work out the extent to which chemicals from | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
ordinary house all products are polluting our waters. Toxins that | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
are flushed down our sinks and toilets cause the problem. Here's | :05:17. | :05:17. | |
Paul Murphy with more. This investigation | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
is all about the mud. The banks of the River Hull | :05:24. | :05:24. | |
are just one location where These cores will be carefully | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
analysed for their chemical content. The higher up the bank, | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
the higher the age of sediment, so what they contain | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
is going to be from a longer period, but within | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
the sediments, you can get a good indication of the post-industrial | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
signals, the industrial influences | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
of pollution in the sediments. The ?4-million project | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
is investigating the impact of commonly used chemicals | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
on the environment. Take the example of hormones found | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
in the contraceptive pill. The presence of this | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
hormone can cause male fish to have female | :05:56. | :05:56. | |
characteristics, which could have long-term effects on the fish | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
population in those rivers. The chemical names | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
might not be familiar but these substances | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
are found in everything from toothpaste to handwashes | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
to painkillers and pills. These contaminants end up in our | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
waterways because sewage treatment plants do not have the | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
technology to trap them. But this project is about much | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
more than research into It is aiming to make | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
us all think more about the products we are buying | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
and the small print on the packet. The team is even developing simple | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
indicators to test household Ideally, people would think | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
about products they are using and perhaps think about the next | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
generation, your children, and whether you want them | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
to be having to dealing with this big toxic | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
soup of sediments. The suspicion is that the impact of | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
accumulating toxins in our waterways This project could lead | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
to changes to the content of household products that | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
many of us use every day. Police are investigating | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
after thieves broke into the lifeboat station | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
in Skegness on Saturday night and ransacked the shop, | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
although the boat itself A short time ago, I asked | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
Adam Holmes from the RNLI It is an unfortunate circumstance, | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
but at about 2am on Saturday morning just gone, somebody decided | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
that they wanted to force entry to the station behind us | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
here and break into the shop, and basically make | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
a terrible mess and steal various bits and bobs, | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
and worst of all, take donations that the public have | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
kindly donated to the RNLI. A lot of the things that | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
have been taken cannot Because they are | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
going to be branded. I suspect the motive | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
was purely for cash, and that is the bulk of what has been taken, | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
but there have been some other items taken, that as you say, | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
are pretty useless, because they are heavily | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
branded as RNLI items. There is a lot of disgust | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
that I have been reading tonight on Facebook, people | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
are absolutely furious about this. What do you think of the people | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
who have done this to a charity I'm pretty disgusted, | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
and everybody that's involved and knows | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
about this is disgusted. As you say, the feeling on Facebook | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
is quite deep, and the language has been quite rife, but | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
people's emotions are running high. As a charity especially, | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
you would not expect people to target you, | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
and this is not a good thing for anybody at any time, | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
but the money that we take in honest We get no support from | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
the Government, and the organisation and the institution run | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
solely on these donations. It is abhorrent, really, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
and I can't imagine the type of person that | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
would do such a thing. Well, I know you've | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
got CCTV pictures. If the people that have done | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
this are watching the telly tonight, and they might have | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
some of the merchandise with them, and the cash, what would you say | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
to them directly now? The best thing for you to do | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
would be to return what it is you have stolen. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
This is a good, honest charity. All the volunteers here work | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
very, very hard to make sure that the money that is given to | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
us by the public is put to great use And you should really look | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
within yourself and Mr Holmes, very good | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
to talk to you tonight. Thank you very much, | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
I wish you well, and we will let If there are any developments, we | :09:35. | :09:48. | |
will let you know. Now it is time for the weather | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
In a lot of clouds tomorrow, but the sun should breakthrough slowly. | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
Throughout the week, high pressure will remain with us, but a bit of | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
movement from the south. A lot of bad weather across Spain and | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
Portugal, and this weather front may well bring us some heavy showers on | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Friday and into the weekend. There is a hint of at least some rain and | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
the forecast towards the weekend. Fairly quiet at the moment despite a | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
stiff breeze, one or two light showers possible, temperatures | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
around seven Celsius. A cloudy day tomorrow but the wind will he is | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
quite readily through the morning, a light breeze in the afternoon, a lot | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
of close throughout, but we are a poll that some cloud breaks will | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
occur later in the day, temperatures are around 12 Celsius. With less | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
wind, it should feel milder than today. Warmer on Wednesday and | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Thursday, and some showers later on Friday, that is | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
Thank you for watching, we will be back in the morning and I will be | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
back tomorrow night. goodnight. will become drier and feel warm. Now | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
the National forecast. Good evening. A quiet day on the | :11:04. | :11:16. | |
weather front but we still managed to have some huge contrasts in the | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
weather. This was a beautiful picture from Cumbria, blue skies and | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
crystal clear blue skies in Argyll and Bute but closer to the north | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
coast, it sends shivers down your spine! Chilly and cloudy all along | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
that cost this bank of cloud that sliced the country in half, cool and | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
cloudy to the east and to the West had sunshine. But it still been dry | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
and it will stay that way for most of the week. As we get into Friday, | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
there is some rain on the way. In the short-term, not much happening | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
in the next few hours, quite a bit of cloud in most of England and | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
Wales but many northern | :12:01. | :12:01. |
