Hi there and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. There's been drama at the British Swimming Championships today where Lincolnshire swimmer Mel Marshal has failed to turn up for her final in one of her individual events. Tonight on the programme, we'll find out what implications this will have on her competing in the Beijing Olympics.
Also, its been a day of relief for one family in Cottingham. As Deborah Phillips and her family celebrate after winning the right to stay in East Yorkshire, Look North will find out what their case will mean for others facing deportation in our region. Also if you're over sixty and had hoped to travel with the national concessionary bus pass, then your experience may not have run smoothly this morning as your pass may not have arrived. Tonight Look North will assess the post code lottery that exists across our area and will find out what the hold up is for these passes to be distributed. We'll have a special report as the RAF heritage in Lincolnshire is put at the centre of the world's attention. For the RAF's 90th birthday, we'll take a look at the modern-day role of the RAF and get a glimpse of the Red Arrows performing their celebratory flypast across London. Thats all on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me. Spam No, not the processed meat! But the bane of everyones life spam emails! Its in the news today as spam is continuing to blight our inbox exactly fifteen years after the term was first coined and almost thirty years since the first ever spam message was sent. 90% of all email is spam apparently and is responsible for slowing down our computers, transferring viruses and generally being quite irritating! Clever Sharks Apparently, Pauls job might be under threat by very clever sharks that can predict the weather. The University of Aberdeen are looking into this and they think that sharks have an in-built radar for predicting bad weather. Researchers have looked back at the lull before the storm before recent hurricanes and in these cases the sharks moved out of shallow water and into the safety of the deeper seas, possibly to avoid being washed up on the beach. The theory behind this is that the sharks are very sensitive to changes in pressure in the water. When the weather turns for the worse, the air pressure drops as does the water pressure. I hope Pauls impressed with my weather knowledge. The sharks can sense this change in the water pressure and scarper to safer waters. So there you go. Sharks can predict the weather! Well, that's it from me for now. I hope you have a lovely day.
