Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. I hope your days going well, the weather seems to be nice this morning so far. To see if its going to stay that way well have the weather forecast with Paul today, and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on Look North at half past six for the days news as well.
As if the situation wasn't bad enough, flood victims are now having to suffer the insult of having their possessions looted from outside their homes. Tonight well have exclusive pictures of one lot caught on CCTV and we'll talk to police about the problem. Its unbelievable, isnt it? It's one of the last taboos - one in ten admissions to accident and emergency is thought to be self inflicted, but people are still unwilling to talk about self harm. We'll speak to one young woman who says more needs to be done to help people like her. And thousands of people own technology they don't know how to use, but can primary school children help pensioners get to grips with mobile phones? Im looking forward to seeing that. And ahead of Lincolnshire's Waterfront festival, we'll visit the main attraction as a replica of the famous Discovery ship is winched into place in Brayford Pool. Thats all coming up at the usual time of six thirty on BBC One. Live Earth I dont know if you watched any coverage of the big world wide Live Earth concert on Saturday, apparently not many did. It was intended to raise awareness of environmental issues and climate change, and it was hoped the event would be the equivalent of Live Aid. Unfortunately, viewing figures would suggest the publicity generating concert was a flop, with less than a third of the viewers watching than tuned in for the previous weeks Concert for Diana. In addition to stars using foul language on stage in a pre-watershed time slot, many people were put off by the fact that lots of the stars were being flown in and out for the concerts on private jets hardly the greenest way to travel. In addition, the news today is that the concert was beaten in viewing figures on American television by well, everything. It was the least watched show on mainstream American television in that time slot. Lets hope there are some better plans in the pipeline to help save the environment. RNLI The RNLI will be holding its first Flag Day in Hull for at least ten days, thats on this Saturday the 14th. What is the Flag Day? Well Val from the RNLI tells me its a big fundraising event for the Lifeboat institution. Their main activities will centre on Queen Victoria Square where theyll have a Sea Safety Roadshow and a model lifeboat on display. Go along if you can, its for an excellent cause and sounds like a lot of fun, thats on Saturday in Queen Victoria Square in Hull. And Ive got another mention here for to the Appleby WI today as they come for a tour of the studio in Hull. I think I'll be hanging about tonight to meet them. And they tell me too that it's a busy weekend for the little village of Appleby in Lincolnshire. It's their Flower Festival running through the weekend at St Bartholomew's Church. There'll be Ploughman's Lunches and afternoon teas in the village hall both days. Theres a musical concert in the evening on Saturday starting at 7.30pm and on Sunday there's a Service of Celebration led by the Bishop of Grimsby starting at half past ten. I hear that the villagers of Appleby are a green fingered lot, and their gardens will be open and on display on the Sunday from half past twelve. So an incredibly busy weekend for Appleby. There must have been lots of organising going on for this and of course lots of weeding and pruning! Not something I can really relate to! But good luck for all the events going on this weekend in Appleby. It's all in aid of their church, which is needing some repairs. Apparently, they have some very unusual and rare gargoyles. Please no mention of the likeness of me or Paul! So make a note in your dairy about that and welcome to the ladies of Appleby's WI tonight. Dont forget, if you have anything you wan to send in, a picture or email, send it to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] And you can watch todays edition of Look North online at your leisure, just go to www.bbc.co.uk/looknorthhull.
