Hi there, welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. Tonight on the programme, if you've seen the front pages of all the national newspapers you'll know scientists in Hull are at the centre of one of the day's biggest stories - the research that shows anti-depressants don't really work for the majority of patients. We'll be speaking to the man behind the research on the programme tonight. And according to the statistics, depression affects an incredible amount of people all across the world and yet I think not many people like talking about it. If you want to share your story with us about how depression has affected you or your family and what you think about this news today, then let me know. Id like to hear from you. Its the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get in touch with me direct.
Also tonight, we'll have a special report about the work of the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance as the emergency service approaches its ten thousandth operation. Plus the bets are on that the government will finally make an announcement about plans for new casinos across the country. Hull is in line for a so-called large casino and Skegness may get a smaller casino. We'll find out if they finally get the go ahead today. And Grimsby Town could be just two matches away from a trip to the capital. It's the football teams rescheduled Johnstone Paint Trophy match tonight and well get the latest. Thats all at half past six as usual and Paul will be here with the forecast for us tonight as well. As I say, keep in touch with me today if theres any news story you think we should be doing and let me know if youd like a little plug in the Levy Letter. Of course, were still in the period of Lent for many Christians. Beverleys Community Church are organising their own Passion Play for Good Friday. Good luck to them. And let me know if there are any other events to celebrate Easter coming up and Ill give them a little mention in the Letter. Doggies On The Beat If you remember, recently we looked at designer dogs thats cross-bred dogs that are being bred more frequently because theyre quite fashionable, especially amongst celebrities. And with their celebrity owners, the doggies often get kitted out with the latest couture too. Well, from designer dogs and dogs wearing designer gear to this! More and more Bobbies on the beat are being accompanied by mans best friend nowadays apparently, especially in Germany, but theyre being given special shoes to wear! Police dogs have been having problems especially in one German town, Dusseldorf, as many sharp objects like glass get stuck between the cobbles and can damage their paws. Special blue rubber shoes have been designed for the canines for them to wear whilst theyre on the beat. But theyre not too popular with the dogs just yet and theyll have to undergo some training for a few weeks for them to get used to them. So police dogs wearing shoes! I suppose in this case its not re! ally for fashion, but Im not surprised the dogs arent too happy about wearing them! Well, that's it from me for now. Have a very good day and join me tonight if you can for Tuesdays Look North.
