A BBC investigation has revealed the trust that runs

Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital has spent

more than ?8 million on agency staff in the last financial year.

The 247% rise in spending is the biggest increase

The trust says the figure represents 2.6% of its budget,

and the amount spent compares favourably to other trusts.

A Ukip MEP for Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire has backed

the leader of his party despite a poor showing

Mike Hookem says Paul Nuttall has his "full support."

Mr Nuttall recently made an apology after false claims

appeared on his website, including a suggestion

he lost close friends in the Hillsborough disaster.

The Ukip leader came second to Labour in the Stoke

We'll keep on fighting, because we know we are right,

and I send out a personal plea to every Labour Party member,

please, please, please, keep Jeremy Corbyn, because every

time he opens his mouth, he puts a smile on my face.

A school near Lincoln is now thought to be one

of the greenest in the country after cutting its carbon

It's estimated that becoming more energy efficient

will save William Farr School up to ?180,000 a year.

And as education budgets tighten, Lincolnshire County Council is now

hoping other schools will follow in its steps.

William Farr School is over 60 years old, but it's

looking ahead to a more environmentally friendly future.

Over the last five years, it's made big changes,

like installing solar panels for electricity, and ground source

heating that uses water pumped through the ground

But some of their changes have been much smaller,

We worked with them to help install the insulation and LED

When you have the heating on, don't have the windows open,

Anyone who wanted to design an eco or green sticker had a chance to get

it professionally published and stuck around the school.

The head says it'll take six years to cover the cost of the changes,

but after that, it'll save them ?180,000 a year - money that's

I'm sure I'll be facing another budget cut.

It's a significant problem for all schools, but clearly

if you're spending ?180,000 simply on lighting and heating,

very naturally, the money not being used for that would go

towards educating the children, and what could be better?

The most recent addition is a ?900,000 biomass boiler

The company that installed it helped the school finance the project,

and says many are being put off by the costs involved.

We worked with them to showcase that this actually is doable

within Lincolnshire, and actually all over the UK.

We know that there is funding out there, there's investors that

want to do it, and there's companies like us who have the capability

William Farr has been supported by Lincolnshire County Council.

It says if more schools made these changes, it could revolutionise

Schools make up about 66% of the council's carbon footprint,

It teaches children that there is a consequence

to the energy they use, and how they can reduce

The county council is applying for funding for a project to help

more schools cut their carbon footprint, and William Farr says

they'll keep looking for ways to become more energy efficient.

Archaeologists working on the route of Lincoln's Eastern Bypass have

discovered artefacts dating back 12,000 years.

They've been working between the River Witham

and Washingborough Road since September.

The finds include tools and high-status Roman buildings.

Hull City remain second from bottom in the Premier League

A second-half penalty scored by Tom Huddlestone

had given City hope, but the lead was short-lived

as Burnley equalised four minutes later.

Head coach Marco Silva says they've still got everything to play

We need to think game by game, and to take points for us

in all the games, and nobody may believe we won against Liverpool

All the games are important, and the fight continues.

Scunthorpe United are second on goal difference in League One.

An own goal from Tom Lockyer saw the Iron come from behind for a 1-1

Meanwhile, Grimsby Town dropped three points

The 1-0 defeat leaves them 14th in League Two.

Luke Campbell retained his WBC Silver Lightweight title

He knocked out Mexican Jairo Lopez in the second round.

Hull's Tommy Coyle and Scunthorpe's Dec Spelman,

who were fighting on the undercard, both also won their fights.

And in rugby league, Hull Kingston Rovers won 48-0

Lets take a look at the weather - here's Jen Bartram

After quite a blustery day, we keep the strong winds as we go

It will tend to ease down a touch, and there will be some clear skies,

so the temperatures will be falling back to around 4 or 5 degrees,

so quite a chilly start to take us into Monday morning.

There should be some blue skies around, but a lot

Some of these showers could have some hail, some thunder,

even some sleet and snow over higher ground, but in between the showers,

the sunshine will come through, and temperatures will be reaching

Looking further ahead into the week, it stays unsettled -

some further showers in the forecast on Tuesday, turning cloudier

That's all from Look North this evening.

I'm back at 10:20pm with a round up of the day's news.

Good evening. The fifth named storm of the season has been affecting the

west of the UK, and it was named Ewan by the Irish meteorological

service because that is where the impact was expected, but it has been

quite wet for some and the wettest weather is moving northwards across

the North of Scotland and the stronger winds go with that. Strong

winds pushing away towards the east with showers and then further

showers behind overnight, and some of the showers will contain some

wintry weather. It will be quite cold for the North and west of the

UK, 2
