Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Farmers say the price of food will continue to rise and more will go | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
:00:21. | :00:22. | ||
out of business unless the government steps in. We need a | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
greater return to make our industry financially viable and profitable. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
The seagulls in Bridlington that businesses claim are hitting them | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
in the pocket. A �100 million shopping development | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
planned for Lincoln. Hull's newest millionaires | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:49. | ||
celebrate their lucky win. A I will have the forecast later in | :00:49. | :00:58. | |
Good evening. The price of food will continue to | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
rise if more help is not given to farmers. Food growers in East | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are calling for the Government to | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
provide more support for the industry as inflation figures today | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
showed food prices rising sharply. There were big increases in the | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
cost of bread, cereals, meat, milk, cheese and eggs. Caroline Bilton | :01:17. | :01:26. | |
reports. At the pumps, at the tales, we are | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
all pay more. Today's inflation figures are proof of that. Basics | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
such as bread and milk have gone up in price. It is not just us, the | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
consumer, paying more. Those who grew and produce our food are also | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
feeling the strain. All our costs have gone up, like everybody's else. | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
We are not seen the increase in revenue from our cells. Add the | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Great Yorkshire Show today, there were many more with stories of hard | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
:02:10. | :02:11. | ||
times. The frosty weather can have a bad effect on the food. We had to | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
0.4 mm of rain in April, which was really serious. It Yorkshire, food | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
producer generate more than �1.7 billion for the economy every year. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
The NFU is warning today that Yorkshire producers are struggling. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
It is because of the recent extreme weather. Some people are facing | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
losses of up to �1.2 million. nothing changes, we will see | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
agricultural production continued to decline in the UK. When we have | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
years like this, with a drought in the spring and a very hard winter, | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
we have to look to other countries around the world to feed us. We won | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
the government to look at taxation policies, employment, training, | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
skills, to make sure we make British agriculture more | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
competitive and more productive. Many believe receiving a fair price | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
for their food is crucial in achieving that. What we are looking | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
for is a greater, improved share of the money that is received by the | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
supermarkets for the sale of our products. If that happened, I think | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
our businesses would become much more profitable and we could invest | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
in it for the future. But some believe that farmers can do a lot | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
for themselves. Matthew is one of the consortium of pea growers, who | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
have launched a new brand of P. They have just signed a deal to | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
supply them to Tesco's across the North of England. Farmers must try | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
to create a niche, create a pot of difference, and sell themselves | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
into the market. The market is not going to come to me. You have to go | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
to the market and create the opportunities. Changing the way | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
they work has paid off for this farmers, but that will not work for | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
everyone. That is why the NFU of what the government to recognise | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
the challenges facing farmers in the future, so that we, the | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
consumer, do not end up paying more in the long run. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Lord Henley, from the Department for the Environment and Rural | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
:04:31. | :04:32. | ||
Affairs, told me was looking at how to get farmers a better deal. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
government is addressing it. We are bringing in an adjudicator who will | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
help arbitrate. You need to get this right, otherwise food is just | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
going to go up and up for people who are watching the television | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
tonight. We do not want food to become expensive. We what the | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
consumer to get a fair deal, but we also want the farmers to get a fair | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
deal from the supermarkets. Any inequality between them needs to be | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
addressed. Away to dependence on imported food? No, we are not. We | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
produce 75 % of the through to we want. When it comes to things like | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
bananas, we have to import this because we cannot produce that. | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
There are opportunities for fruits grown here to be exported elsewhere. | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
There is their point talking about protectionism in third. We want to | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
give people a choice about what food they have. We will go on | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
producing food here. The NFU wants to see the government help local | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
producers in a way that will makers not rely on import so much. There | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
is nothing wrong with imports. We want to do what we can to encourage | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
people to buy British food where they can, because British food is | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
probably best, but they should have the opportunity to import food as | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
they wish. Lord Henley, effective. Lord Henley talking to me earlier. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
What help do you think the Government should give farmers? | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
What can be done to control the cost of food? Let us know what you | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
:06:22. | :06:39. | ||

Hull University honours the sports star turned charity fundraiser. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Seagulls swooping to steal fish and chips from tourists in Bridlington | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
are being blamed for costing businesses their money. So many | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
people are suffering assaults by the birds that owners are having to | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
give away free food in compensation. Crispin Rolfe is in Bridlington for | :07:01. | :07:10. | |
us tonight. Crispin, just how big is this problem? | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
His considerable one, when you consider this is the nation's | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
favourite food. The question is, how do you managed to steal some of | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
these from any one of these shops across the front of the seafront | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
and bring them here without been bad Bond so you can eat them in | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
peace? The problem for businesses is that when people lose their | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
chips to see goals, the businesses are having to pay for new portions, | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
so that is costing them. For a pack of seagulls, these trips | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
takes seconds to demolish. Chip shops are more Bridlington's | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
seafront said they are devouring mother does fried potatoes. Every | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
time they still make a stab's food, it costs money. He they dive-bomb | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
and there is nothing you can do about it. The customers come back | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
to us and we have to give them the money, we feel obliged to give them | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
:08:14. | :08:21. | ||
the food. It is out of somebody's wages. People need to keep the | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
chips covered up until they get sat down. Part of the problem is people | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
feeding the seagulls. We have got a Dalmatians, keeping them at bay. I | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
would advise people to bring a dog a long! They are an issue. They | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
pester people. We have been having fish and chips, and they have come | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
and grab them out of your hand. Very cheeky. Must make you feel | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
uncomfortable. A bit, I suppose. A bit scary. What can be done? The | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
RSPB says Segal numbers are declining, and may have been forced | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
inland to find food. Instead of calling birds, is it a case of | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
controlling human behaviour? People can take easy steps and not feed | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
the birds. It is a nice thing to do if you do not come into contact | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
with beds very often. The council is playing its part in clearing up | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
unused food. We are asking people not to feed the sea eagles, and to | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
put their unused food in the rubbish bins we have provided. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
There is a balance to be struck between nature and the modern world. | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
In Bridlington, it seems that the see goals rule the roost. | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Bridlington may be the busiest seafood pot and the country, but | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
according to the RSPB, the fish stocks are in decline. Naturally, | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
their calls are coming inland. They are declining by 40 %. The RSPB | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
says Colin is not an issue. The East Riding of Yorkshire council | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
says that fining people is not something they are prepared to do | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
for feeding the birds. I have seen a lot of people doing it today. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
What is the solution? The answer to that will have to come on a seaside | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
postcard to Bridlington. Thank-you. What is the answer? Have | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
you suffered at the hands of the beds in Bridlington? You may have a | :10:23. | :10:33. | |

Humberside Fire and Rescue say sending crews to false alarms at | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
local hospitals is a drain on resources. The fire service | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
automatically sends two appliances every time an alarm sounds at a | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
local hospital. Last Year they attended 72 call-outs at Hull Royal | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Infirmary, only two turned out to be real fires. They are now working | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
with the NHS to review the system. To turn out to false alarms is a | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
waste of resources. We are in discussions with the hospitals to | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
come to some agreement to reduce the number of false alarms the fire | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
service turn out to. An inquest has been opened and | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
adjourned into the deaths of two people found dead in a car in North | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
Lincolnshire on Friday. The men have been identified as Craig | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Harris, who was 44 and from Cleethorpes, and Naresh Kumar Ahir, | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
who was 40 and from Wolverhampton. Their bodies were discovered in a | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
car parked in a lane in Winteringham. Post mortem | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
examinations have been conducted today and police are awaiting the | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
outcome of further tests. More than �1 million has been | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
pledged by North East Lincolnshire Council for a new road in Immingham. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Plans to improve the A180 were put on hold by the Government last year. | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Local authorities now have to re- enter a bid for the upgrade which | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
will cost around �5 million. A former sports star turned charity | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
fundraiser has today been given an honorary degree by the University | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
of Hull. Steve Prescott joined Hull FC in 1998, but just two years | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
after retiring was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2006. Since | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
then, Steve has dedicated his life to raising money for good causes | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
and so far has received �300,000 through various challenges. Our | :12:20. | :12:30. | |
:12:30. | :12:36. | ||
sports reporter Simon Clark has more. | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
I confer upon you have the big grey... A major moment for Dr Steve | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
Prescott. He received a doctorate from the University of Hull's | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Chancellor, Virginia Bottomley. A I am overwhelmed that the people of | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
Hull and a city of Paul and the University wants to bestow this on | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
upon me. It is great. Steve Prescott made his name the | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
first at St Helen's and then at Hull FC. Two years after retiring | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
in 2004, he was struck down by cancer. Given months to live, he | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
dedicated time to raising money doing extreme runs on cycles around | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
Britain. �300,000 later, he has received the MBE and now this | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
doctorate. Primarily, it is for services to the city, and we want | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
:13:37. | :13:37. | ||
to be associated with eminent people. I think my next challenge | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
is delivering his speech today! That is what I am most nervous | :13:41. | :13:49. | |
about! I have to address everybody today. | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
It means a lot to be honoured by the University of Hall, the city | :13:53. | :14:03. | |
:14:03. | :14:05. | ||
that has been adopted home since 1998. Steve Prescott is not the | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
only person with sporting connections been appreciated at | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
Hull University. Another man is later on it later in the week. | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
Today was a family affair. His wife and sons were joined by other | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
relatives. He loves the team spirit when he is doing a challenge. It | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
gives him something to focus on. Steve is in a clear for now from | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :14:42. | ||
his illness, and he is planning his Still ahead tonight... | :14:42. | :14:45. | |

Steve Harper of Spilsby. Thank you. Another picture tomorrow night at | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
the same time. Paul is a way collecting his honorary degree - | :15:26. | :15:35. | |
I think we should go to Bridlington again and you can picture hand in | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
your pocket and buy me some chips! It has been a few years, yes! I am | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
sure I would not be troubled by the birds with you! | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
Thank you. Today has been fairly bright. We have seen a fair bit of | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
cloud as well. Tomorrow could turn out to be brighter than today. | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
Variable cloud and mostly dried. High pressure is not too far away | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
keeping the weather fairly settled with the odd shower. You can see on | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
the satellite picture of the Clyde has been breaking from the North. | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
We do have some brightness out there to end the day. Some sunny | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
spells the evening and through the night, it will stay dry with | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
variable cloud, clear spells and the winds falling. The temperatures | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
down to 12 degrees. Let's look at the sometimes across the region. | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
The sun will rise at 447 am and setting at 9:26pm. Those are the | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
high water times. Tomorrow, it will be a bright start to the day in | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
places, particularly in the West. There will be some cloud. It would | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
break up throughout the course of the day. We will see some bright | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
and sunny spells, but it will also be thick enough to give the odd | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
isolated, light shower at times. Not many of us will catch it, but | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
it should be quite quick for those who do. Cooler on the coast of 16 | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
degrees. Inland, up to 18 degrees. As we head through Thursday, the | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
weather stays very much the same. Variable cloud, sunny spells and a | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
small chance of the odd shower. It should be feeling warmer by the | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
time we get it there stage. Top temperature around average for this | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
time of the year - 21 degrees. Friday - there will be a much | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
higher chance of catching the rain, and it will get worse on Saturday. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
Somebody has just message me saying that it is still on the internet, | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
the footage of me building sandcastles at! Unit the same but I | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
The group behind a �100 million proposal to transform the centre of | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
Lincoln says it is confident the development will go ahead. | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Lindongate would include a new shopping centre, bus station, | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
restaurants and apartments. Landowners first announced the | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
plans three years ago, but they've been on hold since the original | :17:54. | :18:04. | |
:18:04. | :18:06. | ||
developers hit financial problems. Historic since Full Street is a | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
busy shopping area in the centre of the city. For years, there has been | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
talk of redeveloping this area and the adjoining bus station. This | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
morning's shoppers were cautiously optimistic about the new proposals. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
It will be a good thing if it does come off. But it has been in here | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
so long. How big a shopping centre to be need? It could work out very | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
good. It just depends what Parkin is supplied with that as well. | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
is what is being proposed. �100 million worth of redevelopment to | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
include shops, bars and restaurants and a new transport interchange. It | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
is the kind of investment any city would be proud of. But there is no | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
word yet on who is going to pay for it all. This project is being | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
launched at a tough time for the high street. In Lincoln, 15% of the | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
shops are empty at the moment. The company behind these proposals is | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
confident it will succeed. If you look at a lot of towns and city | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
centres across the UK, the retailing is going out of town. | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
City centres are struggling. In Lincoln, we are lucky. We have a | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
vibrant city centre and we want to keep it that way. We want the new | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
retailers to come here and get established in the city centre so | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
that everybody can succeed. proposals are going on display in | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
this disused shop - a vital consultation for what are some of | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
the biggest redevelopment plans in the recent history of this city. | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
This development of links the high street and will really help the | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
small shops. It will also help the market and keep the main shopping | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
party of Lincoln within a certain area of the high street. If an | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
investment partner is found and if planning permission is granted, it | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
could still be four or five years before this proposal comes to | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
fruition. Our reporter is in Lincoln this | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
evening. People have been talking about this for years - how likely | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
is it that this will happen? There can't be many towns are said | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
to use outside the capital prepared to spend �100 million on this kind | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
of retail development at this stage in the economic cycle. -- towns and | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
cities. So many high streets have taken at battering from the | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
recession and from internet sales, which are gradually nudging up | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
month-on-month. The court, the group behind this the Belmont, says | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
it is confident that a number of an vesper SVRs -- investors are | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
already showing strong interest in this proposal. They have a lot of | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
faith in the future of the local economy in the city. | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
We will continue to follow the story. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
After almost 40 years of service, one of RAF Waddington's Nimrod | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
aircraft has taken its final flight from the station. Two of the | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
surveillance planes were retired from service last month after | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
active service in Afghanistan, Iraq and during the Cold War. One of | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
them will now form part of a static display at East Midlands Airport. | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
The other will be scrapped. It is only a few weeks ago is that we | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
were flying over the Mediterranean in support of our own guys. It is | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
strange, in a way, that the aircraft -- the aircraft has come | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
to be a demise so quickly. It is sad, but I am pleased that will be | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
preserved. I will come back over the years and have a sit inside and | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
remember the good old days. There's been a big response on the | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
story about a man from Hull who's been fined for flyposting after | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
putting up signs asking for a job. Daniel Bird had been out of work | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
for a year when he put up the posters. He's now got a job at a | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
Bingo Hall, but he's also been fined �75 for flyposting. His new | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
employers have picked up the bill. Lots of you have been moved to get | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
in touch on this one. We've had a tweet from Rick who says, "They | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
should give the bloke a medal for using his initiative". | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
Angela says, ""We should be applauding his efforts, people find | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
it hard enough to find work. Why should anyone stop them"? | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Andy from Hull is also annoyed. "This city is losing funding for | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
job seekers yet they penalise someone who wants to work. It makes | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
me wonder why people bother when I hear reports of this nature". | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Jan supports the council. "If all of the unemployed did the same then | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
every city would be papered wall to wall with flyers". | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Adam also backed the fine, saying, "It is illegal for a reason. They | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
:22:49. | :22:50. | ||
are an eye sore and his fine should have been doubled at least". | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
A piece of Lincolnshire's naval history has today returned to the | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
county. HMS Boston was used during the Normandy landings but after the | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
war it was broken up and sold. Now more than 60 years later, the | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
ship's bell has returned to the town. It was dedicated at a service | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
at St Botolph's Church this morning. We shall be ringing the bell at the | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
beginning of every service. The Bull Ring at at the beginning of | :23:19. | :23:29. | |
all civic services -- civic services - Remembrance Day etc. | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
Hopefully people will remember the war or because of it. By great | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
sense of pride for us. Cricket, and Yorkshire have taken a | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
big first innings lead in the County Championship match against | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
Worcestershire at Scarborough. The Tykes were all out today for 367 - | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
199 runs ahead. Worcestershire are 82 for 4 in their second innings at | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
the end of day two. A couple from Hull say they won't | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
be looking for a new house despite winning more than �3 million on the | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
lottery. John and Susan Denston say they may buy a new caravan after | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
matching five numbers and one lucky star in Friday's Euromillions draw. | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
They were one number off the jackpot of �166 million. That's | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
still up for grabs in tonight's draw and they're even trying to get | :24:11. | :24:19. | |
lucky again. It is no wonder these two are | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
celebrating - after two years looking for work, their �3.3 | :24:22. | :24:32. | |
:24:32. | :24:32. | ||
million lottery wins put their money worries to bed. I could not | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
believe it when I saw the first two numbers, then three, then for a. | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
Them five. Then I got a lucky star. I could not believe it. I just sat | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
there. I could not believe what was on the screen and what was on my | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
ticket. So what could �3.3 million get John | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
and Susan? Well, how about a private yacht to cruise around in? | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
Or they could move to a luxury millionaires mansion. Or what about | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
:25:08. | :25:09. | ||
upgrading to a high flying sports car? So what will they choose? | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
little caravan! A little caravan so we can go away on the weekends. The | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:27. | ||
really? Yes. John and Susan live on Hull's | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Bilton Grange estate. They say they aren't moving and with 166 million | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
up for grabs again tonight, how would people here spend the cash? | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
would get holidays and a house. Holiday, holiday, holiday. The most | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
important thing is doing something for charity. | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
Only two tickets in the UK won �3.3 million. This is their local | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
newsagent - the man they had to thank. I won on the same trough. I | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
cashed my ticket in on Sunday morning. I won at the princely | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
amount of two. City. At least it will buy me one pint! | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
These little pink tickets have been flying off the shelves. At one | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
point on Friday, three million were bought an hour. So who knows - | :26:17. | :26:27. | |
:26:27. | :26:30. | ||
tonight, another local couple could also be celebrating. | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
Congratulations to them if they are watching. | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines... | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
The pressure on News Corporation increases with fresh accusations | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
from a former prime minister and the police. | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
Farmers claim that food prices will continue to rise than double the | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
white of business unless the Government steps in. | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
Another bright and mainly dry day with some sunny spells. A risk of | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
the odd shower, too. Maximum temperature of 18 degrees. | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
Ricks says, food prices are rising because of the price of diesel. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
Increases in delivery costs are passed on to the consumer. Never | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
has anyone tried poverty like farmers - down to their last Range | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
Rover! And a text from Marton. We're | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
importing goods from Europe while our fields stand empty. It is | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
madness and the supermarkets are to blame. | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
Finally, from Trevor, the farmers are obviously happy when they | :27:30. | :27:33. |
