As you can probably see behind me it is a hive of activity as they make

the final reparations for this big event. Among the people coming at

the forefront of their minds will be security. When I spoke to Humberside

Police ISM white the army and not coming, they are providing cover for

trained officers in London who will be coming from the capital to East

Yorkshire to patrol this area to ensure everyone who is coming feels

as safe as they possibly can. Armed police arriving

at the Big Weekend festival site. Officers have been brought

in from as far afield as London to patrol and check music fans

as they arrive. We have provided additional police

resources to make this feel very different,

to make it really obvious there is a very visible police

presence that actually should deter anybody who feels they

should be a soft target. What we would say to parents

with children, this is going It's going to be once-in-a-lifetime

for some of the children, please come along, enjoy the day

and be really reassured by all the police officers that

you will see around. Security is among the final

preparations being made at the site, including building the biggest stage

that Big Weekend has ever had. By tomorrow, these fields

will look more like this, 25,000 fans watching the likes

of Katy Perry and Little Mix and excitement is building,

even among Radio 1's presenters. I'm on from Manchester

so I know that northern crowd Be here tomorrow alongside some of

the biggest names in music but there will be a collection of unsigned and

perhaps unheard-of bans and they will perform over there in that

white structure, the BBC Introducing Stage. They'll be five bands from

Hull. They will perform to some of the 50,000 music fans who will be

descending here over the weekend. If you are going to the event,

there's more information about what to expect with security checks on

the Look North Facebook page. The parents of an East Yorkshire

woman have each been sentenced to four years in prison

for beating her with a hammer The victim's mother

Deborah Harrison, seen here walking, and her partner Jennifer Harrison,

who is in a wheelchair, were convicted of repeatedly hitting the

victim with a hammer in July 2013. The judge at Hull Crown Court said

it was perhaps the worst case of actual bodily harm he'd ever had

to deal with. A prisoner has absconded

from HMP North Sea Camp Lincolnshire Police is appealing

for information on Nicky Ward, who's 36 and has been missing

since Wednesday night. He may be wearing a grey T-shirt,

grey tracksuit bottoms and trainers. He has links to the Skegness

area but is originally A police officer responsible

for alcohol licensing for Humberside Police has been

sacked for gross misconduct after he was convicted

of being drunk and disorderly. PC Gordon Underwood had served

as an officer for 15 years but received a criminal conviction

in March at Hull Magistrates where he was also fined for obstructing

three fellow officers. The 39-year-old was dismissed

from the force without notice The Ukip leader Paul Nuttall claims

that scrapping the foreign aid budget would allow

an extra ?9 billion a year Mr Nuttall is campaigning

in Grimsby this lunchtime, where he's been answering questions

based on our BBC Look North Here's our political

Eeditor, Tim Iredale. This isn't the first time

Paul Nuttall has been to our patch He is also a candidate in the Boston

and Skegness constituency. He is in Grimsby today as part

of his role as Ukip's party leader on the day that national campaigning

resumes, following a pause out of respect for the victims

of the Manchester bombing. Now we showed Paul Nuttall

our People's Manifesto. These are the issues our Look North

audience are saying are most important to them, including

a pledge to put more Nine billion every single year

and that would come directly from that foreign aid budget

that we would slash. We were told last year that

when we leave the EU it would give us ?350 million a week

towards the NHS. That was a gross figure

which was used by vote Leave. The Ukip figure

was around half that. Hang on, we would allocate that

money elsewhere into the economy. We don't need that money for the NHS

because we are already saving 11 billion a year

from the foreign aid budget. Recent election results have been

encouraging for Ukip - have not been encouraging in our

part of the world. In the Lincolnshire County Council

elections earlier this month, Ukip lost every single seat

they were defending so Paul Nuttall knows he has his work cut out

if his party is to make an impact in the general election

on June the 8th. A beach hut on the Lincolnshire

coast has been described as an architectural gem after it won

a prestigious award The hut in Sandilands was a winner

in the East Midlands area of the Royal Institute of British

Architects. New fountains have been officially

opened in Hull City centre. A total of 77 water jets and 61

coloured LED lights have been They're part of a multi-million

pound re-vamp of the city centre. To mark the switch on crowds were

treated to a surprise dance routine. It has been a glorious day so far.

Letters get the forecast. Good afternoon, I hope you are enjoying

the sunshine, plenty more to come. We have this gorgeous photos sent in

by one of our weather Watchers, wall-to-wall blue sky. This

afternoon the headline is sunny and hot. There's not a lot to say. Not a

lot going on, it is hot and dry and inland temperatures could reach the

high 20s, cooler on the East Coast. It will feel pleasant. These

temperatures could get higher. There is a potential 426, 20 seven. This

evening and overnight, remaining dry. The breeze blow some low cloud

onto eastern coastal parts but files and muggy night and temperatures

will drop to 30 Celsius. More like our seasonal average daytime highs.

The cloud will quickly lift and we will see some sunshine. We will see

this heavy showers spreading to the north-east, very heavy, potentially

thundery and there is a weather warning for these up to 11 o'clock.

If you are out and about on the roads, they could be some surface

water issues. Radio 1's Big Weekend, dry and fresh on Sunday. That is all

from us this lunchtime. Peter will be back at 6:30pm. We will have more

full - on the preparations for Radio 1's Big Weekend. There are a couple

big events happening at the Lincolnshire Showground. They'll be

talking about what changes they have had to make to review security

there. The local radio stations are on air at the moment and they'll be

more coverage of the Radio 1's Big Weekend later. Peter is back at

6:30pm. From all of here, have a very weekend. Goodbye.
