Good afternoon! Peter is away for a few days, but Im here, Tim Iredale, for your Letter today and will be presenting the programme tonight as well.
It seems such a long way away, but our regions councils are buzzing about the Olympics in 2012. Find out why several sites across our region could be in the running to host top athletes and teams in the 2012 Olympics. Well be finding out what local councils are doing to attract the Olympic committee to come to our region and what it could mean for businesses. We'll have a special report on the £80 million pound plan to transform Hull's skyline and as the heat rises in the argument to save local fire stations, we'll be in Goole as campaigners fight against plans to downgrade local stations. And Damian Johnson will be with us with a round up of the weekend's sport, including looking back at Lincoln City's final match under manager, Peter Jackson. Thats on BBC One at the usual time of half past six. Weather Its the usual discussion attributed to British people isnt it! The weather! Heres a text come in from Irene in Louth. Perhaps something for Paul to comment on. This has been the sunniest February since 1946 but 1947 was the worst winter of the 20th century. A sign of things to come perhaps? It certainly does seem like the weather is making the news more and more often doesnt it? And now after our sunniest February, are we to have any snow? Paul will have the forecast for us as usual. Baby Robot Teaching your child to talk is a very difficult process. You certainly need a lot of patience! But imagine trying to teach a baby robot to speak! A university in Devon is preparing to find out if a baby robot can be taught how to speak. The researchers are working with a one metre high humanoid baby robot called iCub to research how parents teach their children to speak. Their findings could lead to the development of humanoid robots which learn, think and talk! Well, thats it for the Letter for today. Ill be with you for tonights Look North. I hope you can join me.
