11/08/2011 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening. They headlines tonight: MPs tell the Prime

Minister the police should have been tougher on rioters. Why have

our police been disbursing these youths so they can riots in other

areas? Why the bus operators are fessing -- are facing the toughest

test of a generation? Secret documents relieve -- revealed

details of strange sightings in Yorkshire. Workers make this deadly

discovery in a shipment. There has been a fair bet of cloud, will it

be any better for the weekend? -- appear remote. -- a fair amount.

MPs from Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire have demanded a much

tougher police response in future riots. Officers have been sent to

assist other forces, and politicians say the police must be

given more power to tackle criminal gangs. Parliament was recalled

today to discuss the violence, with some of our MPs criticised for

choosing not to attend. Thankfully, are a career has been spared the

violent scenes which blighted many English cities this week. But that

did not prevent a number of MPs from East Yorkshire and Lincoln

having their say. Why have our police been dispersing these uses

so they can riot in other facilities? -- these children. This

veteran conservative that suggested the rioters should be rounded up

and held at Wembley Stadium. It was clear many MPs wanted a much

tougher approach. I do not think the ordinary policeman has got

softer. But the management of the police has done, and I am afraid if

they are not careful, this will happen again. There were a few

notable absentees from Parliament. Alan Johnson could not get back

from his holidays in time. Austin Mitchell spoke to us from

California. He said it would not be a good use of taxpayers' money to

fly back to London. I think it is because of a government economic

policy. I have a contribution I want to make, but I will not sit

there and listen to various Cabinet members and then squeeze my eight.

Into it. There is no reason why I should be there. -- squeeze into it.

He should find out what is going on. I will not have a go at him, but if

I was in he might -- if I was in his position I would be back at

Westminster straight away. another corner of Grimsby, politics

was not on the agenda at all stop these young people said they were

shocked by the images. Respect in society has gone down for a while,

people do not care about other people, everybody is fighting for

themselves. It is a shame, because I do not think anyone in my eight

friends would do that. Despite not basing this type of trouble,

Humberside police have revealed bespoke to a number of people

staring up violence on social networking sites. -- starring up

violence. -- stirring. They have warned that arrests could follow.

Diana Johnson is a Hull North MP. I spoke to her and asked her whether

it was worth recalling Parliament. I think it was. It is an

opportunity for the prime minister to step out what takes -- set out

what steps he has taken. I was concerned the Prime Minister was

not listening to questions about the police cuts. That was

disappointing. You spoke about police cuts, at the end of the day,

people what the police to be tougher with yobs. -- people want

the police. I do not agree with you, Peter. People what the police on

the streets. I think their concerns are still there, people are saying

to me on a daily basis the 20 % cuts to the police are something

they do not want. What do you think went wrong? I do not think there is

a simple answer to this. Clearly there was criminality, looting,

murderers, so that is all criminal offences. There is other defences.

There is also the issue of society, we need to have a long hard think

about it, consider what happened, do not rush into making knee-jerk

reactions. What are at the other issues? Some areas have not had any

problems. -- what are the other issues? Thankfully in sombre side -

- in Humberside there has been no problem, but we need to consider

issues like what we are saying to young people about their future,

what jobs they will have, we must address that. We must think about

the benefits system, what we say about encouraging people into work.

It is not simple. You are implying it is about people who do not have

jobs, some of these people do have jobs. Absolutely. You can see there

was a primary-school teacher, someone who has just signed up for

the army, an undergraduate, and that is why there is no simple

cause for what is going on. There is a whole range of things we

should consider. We need to think about what we expect of young

people. Diana Johnson, thank you. Then a moment, a waste of money?

Boston businesses give their verdict on the group that may pay

to promote the town centre. The bus industry is facing the greatest

financial challenge for a generation according to a report

out today by the Commons transport committee. It says that cuts to

rural bus services I damaging access to vital bus services for

the young, old and disabled. It warns that even deeper cuts are

available -- are possible next year. Bus services have been hit hard by

cuts. It is rural areas that are seen services disappear. 6pm, the

buses get less and less. Old people are suffering. Jim Taylor has seen

the largest number of operators going bust in the last six months

than he has ever seen before. He had to cancel services from his own

company. We have to cancel services, we are a business. If there is no

money from the councils, supporting services in a rural area,

unfortunately, they will call by the wayside. It is a reflection of

the findings from the transport committee. They say the cuts are

damaging the ability of the young, old and disabled to access vital

services, and further cuts could make things worse. That is a worry

for people like this woman. completely and utterly rely on the

bus services, so when I heard a rumour they were going to cut it, I

was quite upset about it, because I need this bus service. There are no

plans for further cuts, but it is easy to feel the concern in the

town. I think there are other cuts that could be made, but cutting the

bus service should not happen. government says it is not then, it

is local councils that are making the cuts. The government has made

no cuts, so we must look at councils. The debate will continue.

Chris Briggs is the head of transport in Lincolnshire County

Council. I spoke to him and asked him whether he agreed with the cuts

being accounts will matter. It is correct, the government supplied

the money and the county council makes the decision. The county

council has had to make those tough decisions, but having less money

means having less services. The decision was to protect other

frontline services which are important to people, and therefore

�1 million was removed from the amount of money used this to

subsidise bus services. I think you will find the county council has

done all of this, senior management level was reduced by around one-

third at the end of last year. about all furred, up a service used

to run on two days, and it had been cut to one day. -- Alford. That

sounds like coppers. It does, but we need to make the savings.

three years' time, will there be less bus services in Lincolnshire?

I hope not, because the county council made the decision to make

the savings at the front end, so hopefully there will be no further

cuts if the government funding remains as promised, and we will do

If you have got a view on this one then throw it open. The best way of

providing bus services in rural areas, should do routes be

We will have some of your stories. Some more news now, the company

wanting to build a new power- station in North Lincolnshire,

creating hundreds of jobs, says there will not proceed with the

plans and silicates reassurances from the Government. The plant was

given the go-ahead yesterday, but says it will not progress unless

the Government gives guarantees of future subsidy levels.

Plan is for a tidal power device in the Humber to generate electricity

have been approved by Parliament. The device is thought to be the

first in its kind in the country. It will use the tidal power of

their estuary to create electricity to power the D in Hull. It is

expected to be deployed in autumn. -- The Deep in Hull. We'd talked

about the controversy surrounding this Hull bed -- BID of which

provides help for companies by charging them.

Not everybody wants is we have heard from companies in Boston who

are not happy with their BID organisation.

This picture has been paying the compulsory levy to Boston Business

improvement District, or BID, 43 years. Like the majority of

businesses in Boston he did not join -- board for this. When the

form came through the post, I have felt it was junk mail and I ignored

it. Maybe we were the only people who didn't know it, but because we

did that it felt that was a vote of yes. End Boston, beds are entitled

to take 1% of the value. -- BIDs. For a small shop, annual fee is one

on -- a couple of hundred pounds. This shopkeeper believes the

organisation is a waste of money. And at the moment, I think the BID

is operating the way they always have operated, which is just too

write things down on paper, give us a list of what they are proposing

to do, and never actually doing it. Boston BID says its achievement is

to create a safer shopping area and more welcoming town. That has

benefited is is is directly area. A number of town ranges are claimed

to have greatly improved the shopping area. This shop owner says

there BID is worth every penny of the compulsory levy. It is all to

promote and enhance the town of Boston. We do a lot of things

behind the scene which people do not realise. It is not possible for

us to do something for every single business, what we try to do is do

something that is good for Boston. That will then have a knock-on

effect for the businesses in Boston. It will be another two years before

businesses can vote on whether they want to keep the Business

improvement District, until then opinions are likely to remain

divided. If you have got a local bed, how does it work? Do you think

you get value for money, get in touch.

It time is 6:45pm. Still ahead: the striker spotted on YouTube but who

is hoping to help Lincoln City bounce back into the Football

League. The deadly stowaways discovered by

Do not forget if you have got a photograph you are proud of, send

it in. Tonight's is taken by Paul McCafferty. It is of Rippingale in

Lincolnshire. Thank you for that. Goody evening, Lisa. What of

week but is she not giving him back as much as she gets, good on you,

Karel! I do not know what they are It has been a mild day to day, we

have reached 22 degrees are but we are set for some cloud but there

will be some brightness. If you look at the pressure charts for

tomorrow, we have a weather front out in the Atlantic which is

heading our way. It stars to Brighton and then clouds over.

Today, you can see on the satellite picture that there is some cloud.

There have been some heavy showers. Overnight we are going to see some

patchy light rain and drizzle. That will tend to die away by the end of

the night. It will be a mild night with temperatures of 13 or 14

degrees. Looking at the Sun, it rises in the morning and sex at

8:37pm. Their next -- sects in the evening. Tomorrow will not be too

cold, there will be a fair amount of cloud. As we go through the day

we see the damp mist clearing and the Clyde will start to break we

will see some brighter spells. The cloud will be thickening from the

West. Temperatures tomorrow are run roundabout 19 degrees as a high. It

may be 21 in Boston. Rain to come on Friday evening, there will be

further rain on Saturday morning. Once that clears away the rest of

the weekend is brighter. There will be a scattering of showers but many

Turn the sound down, it looks like Lincoln City are preparing to kick

off the new season when they travelled to size port. Fans will

hope for a strong start to the season as they try to bounce back

into the Football League. BBC Lincolnshire's sports editor has

been assessing their chances. The last three months have been

pretty traumatic for Lincoln City supporters have they has replayed

the goals that relegated them again and again. It seems to be, looking

at other football teams, the longer you're out the harder it is to get

back in. They have to make every effort to get back. Said the has

had to cut its budget. The fault of a no confidence vote. In has been a

difficult last few months, lot of things going on. The relegation to

non-league, lots of cost cutting is to be made. A hopefully we have

come through all of that and we are looking forward to starting the new

season. Among the news seized -- faces, striker Bradley Baraclough

New Lad. We're not thinking about last season. When you come into the

next season, it does not feel like that. They hope the new squad can

help the squad bounce-back. It will take time to gel but a lot will

depend on injuries. We have got a small squad. If we pick up to work

he injuries to key players it will not help us, but we stay injury-

free, who knows. Where in they were last relegated the bounced back at

Court of Hull Kingston Rovers has broken his silence about leaving

the club. Justin Morgan says it was mutual. Today he revealed he could

be heading home to Australia. Still in charge but not for much

longer, Justin Morgan addressed the issues of his departure for the

first time since it became known. We had a good chat on Thursday

about a few different things. It was not anything that came out of

the blue. It is something that has been on topic for a little while.

Despite the timing, Rovers are still have a chance of making this

season's play-off. He was the man who ended many years with promotion

to Super League in 2007. Since then he has moved them into two plea of

finishes and lead them into a Challenge Cup semi-final, no wonder

fans are sad to see him go. Just great for for what he has done for

us. I think Justin Morgan has done brilliant for Rovers. It is a shame

really, I think he will be well mist. He had the flair and optimism.

I think he passed it on to the team. More can revealed today that he may

find work home in Australia up with interest from clubs there. Have

often got dialogue with them anyway, so now that might situation has

become a little bit clearer, we have spoken a little bit more on a

professional level, I have spoken to a couple of clubs at the moment.

We will see if anything happens. More akin leaves with the fans'

best wishes as they wait to see who will be returned as their new coach.

Government files released today show a series of UFO sightings in

Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire. Some of the incidence bait -- date

back more than 30 years. The files, from the Ministry of Defence, have

been stored in the national archives. Our reporter has been

taking a look. It is the early hours of October

5th, 1996. Reports comment of a red and green rotating light over

Boston. Bright, no noise, spotted by police, members of the public,

even the crew of a ship in the North Sea. It is just one of many

unexplained sightings of UFOs over East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire,

released today by the Ministry of Defence. The have received

thousands of support -- reports since they end of the Second World

War. When people hear the truth, which is that there has never been

the resources for staff to investigate the. Nobody will

believe that. The police a feature in many of the documents, in one

incidents in 20031 witness even described how the Humberside police

helicopter was being observed by a bright light over Hull. One a

police officer runs a website which locks sightings. I had what one

case where I have 70 police officers from six different vantage

points geographically all watching the same object, why does that not

get on the news? Perhaps one of the stranger sightings is that of a

flying cigar spotted by five people over Hull and Scunthorpe in 1976.

With more recent incidents in Lincolnshire, including wind

turbines sector have been hit by UFOs, there is plenty of people who

think theory is something out there. Thank you. Imagine being at work

and suddenly seeing this just a few inches from your face. That

happened to one Engineer in North Lincolnshire. He was dismantling a

jet engine that was shipped in from America up when he got a rather

nasty surprise. It has razor-sharp fangs and its

venom can kill. Imagine their shock when engineers discovered this a

Black Widow spider in the workshop in North Lincolnshire. What of our

engineers was working underneath their engine, one of the guys

noticed that the spider had dropped out of a box and reset itself on

its back legs, ready to pounce. Match eels was dismantling a jet

engine at TC Power in Barton when it scuttled towards him. It's was

moving quite quickly back towards its web. I must have caught the Web

so it came back out again. It was just a little spider. When I got

out and the guys checked what it was, it dawned on me what it could

have done. So far they engineers have found three of these spiders,

to our meals which are quite tiny, but they have also found this one,

female. She is quite a whopper, imagine having that just a couple

of inches from your face. In the workshop they are still on spider

watch. As you can see here, there is a lot of webs in the framework.

With 3080 -- tiny camera up they filmed another Black Widow, still

hidden away. We find evidence that the spiders have been in there.

found another female. They are still creeping around their engine?

Engineers are feeding the spiders flies until they are moved into a

new home. For now, they are were -- one workplace hazard you will not

find in the Health and Safety Manual.

Do not forget if you have got a story we should know about then

send me an e-mail. It is now at four minutes until

seven. Police have made hundreds more arrests following riots across

England. Their tactics have been criticised. An MP claims that

police should have rounded up the rioters and put them in Wembley

Stadium. Tomorrow's weather is cloudy with damp start. It will be

brighter in the afternoon. Top Response coming in on the subject
