Hello, its Peter here and welcome to the last Levy Letter of the week. Its Friday, and theres more heavy rain predicted over the next twenty four hours, so I hope if youre at risk youre well prepared. On Look North tonight well be in the emergency planning centres across the region looking at how preparations are going to try and prevent a repeat of the awful scenes weve had recently.
We'll also talk to an insurance company criticising Hull City Council as it tries to find housing for the hundreds hit by the floods. Tonight were also looking at why more Lincolnshire Police officers are being given powers to use taser stun guns on suspects. They are a non lethal electrified weapon if you didnt know, although they do come with certain risks. Well have more on the programme. And we're in the village losing its school because parents would rather drive their children to another school 5 miles away. That sounds unbelievable doesnt it? Watch the report tonight to get the full story. Dontmiss the weather forecast for the weekend today, as I mentioned earlier there could be lots of rain on the way. Thats all on Look North tonight at the usual time of 6.30 on BBC One. Museums Theres an event happening at the weekend in Hulls Museums Quarter, theyve got a programme of free family activities and demonstrations to mark National Archaeology Week. Warriors and weapons weekend, led by Magnus Sigurdsson, master armourer, who has made weapons and armour for some of the most famous Hollywood historical blockbusters will start on Saturday 21st July, 11am - 4pm, at the Hull and East Riding Museum. Youll be able to make a Saxon shield or sword to take home, and talk to Magnus about what its like to make swords for films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Braveheart. On Sunday Magnus will be giving a talk at Ferens Art Gallery about his job and the conflict that can arise between history and Hollywood. The talk begins at 2pm, places can be booked by calling Hull Museums on 01482 613902. If you havent been to the Museums Quarter in Hull before this is an excellent opportunity, and it sounds very interesting. Thats happening over this weekend. Harry I hear the latest Harry Potter book is to be launched at midnight tonight, and some fans have already been queuing for three days! Thats outside a bookshop in London, I dont quite know what theyve been doing to pass the time for three days as they stand in a queue. It certainly puts standing in line at the supermarket in perspective, doesnt it? Some of the Potter fans have come dressed as their favourite characters, and others have travelled from around the world to soak up the atmosphere, and presumably the British weather, as they savour the anticipation. Lets hope the book lives up to their expectations. Apparently the childrens charity Childline has put on extra staff as they ready themselves for an expected surge in calls from distraught children over a rumoured death in the book. Thats incredible, isnt it? So the new Harry Potter book is out at midnight tonight, or tomorrow morning. If youre a fan, youd better get in line now! Dont forget if you have anything you think we should know about, or any pictures you think we should see or that we can use on the programme, you can get in touch with me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] And if you miss the programme tonight or if youre busy and cant see it live, you can watch it on our website at www.bbc.co.uk/looknorthhull.
