Could evening. The headlines: a vote of confidence in Grimsby. New

:00:16.:00:21.

investment as hundreds of fish processing jobs are created. Good

:00:21.:00:26.

news for the port at that there bringing 250 jobs. Good news for

:00:27.:00:33.

everybody. Warnings that the cockle industry is in crisis because of

:00:33.:00:41.

quotas. People cannot earn a living. They are not even earning a minimum

:00:41.:00:49.

wage. Calls to keep the cost of insurance down for people in flood

:00:49.:00:54.

risk areas. And preparations are underway to move the carcass of a

:00:54.:01:04.
:01:04.:01:10.

whale. And do not forget to join me Good evening. Millions of customers

:01:10.:01:15.

of one of the UK's biggest supermarkets could soon be buying

:01:15.:01:19.

fish protest -- processed in Grimsby. Morrisons has announced

:01:19.:01:23.

that it plans to build the processing factory which will

:01:23.:01:28.

create 200 new jobs. The multi- million pound investment is being

:01:28.:01:32.

welcomed as a boost of confidence in the town. Our Business

:01:32.:01:37.

Correspondent reports. Our appetite for fish grows up bigger every year

:01:37.:01:43.

and Morrisons want to sell more of it. Its investment in Europe's fish

:01:44.:01:49.

processing capital will mean the new factory and hundreds of jobs.

:01:49.:01:53.

We believe the technical skills are here and as far as supplies is

:01:53.:02:00.

concerned there is a great deal of knowledge in area. The announcement

:02:00.:02:08.

comes just weeks after another farm said it wanted to shed 300 jobs.

:02:08.:02:13.

hope that the company will come here and find a secure future. And

:02:13.:02:21.

that other suppliers well as well. Good news for jobseeker's as well

:02:21.:02:24.

like this former fish processing manager. Although he warns that

:02:24.:02:30.

competition for places has never been so fierce. It is a tough call

:02:30.:02:38.

to get into work here. Does this investment give you walk? Yes. If

:02:38.:02:44.

they're coming then hopefully other people well as well. The fish will

:02:45.:02:51.

be distributed to all 475 stones across the UK. In a town of above-

:02:51.:02:56.

average unemployment the sort of investment will always be welcomed.

:02:56.:02:59.

What will be interesting will be the response of other UK

:03:00.:03:05.

supermarkets. It could mean further investment of the same time.

:03:05.:03:13.

Karen's the fish market is the most obvious beneficiary. -- Grimsby.

:03:13.:03:17.

do not know the details yet but look for to building a relationship

:03:17.:03:23.

with the company. Recruitment for the jobs begins in the coming weeks

:03:23.:03:28.

and the company is not ruling out expansion and more jobs if the

:03:28.:03:38.
:03:38.:03:40.

What is the thinking behind this Also poor markets are finding it

:03:40.:03:46.

difficult to get fish and their shells. -- all supermarkets. The

:03:46.:03:50.

price of diesel has a lot to do with that. What the company of

:03:50.:03:55.

doing is taking more control over its own stores by saying they will

:03:55.:04:05.
:04:05.:04:05.

Whilst it might be good news for the fishing industry in Grimsby

:04:05.:04:09.

fishermen in The Wash say that restrictions on gamut of cockles

:04:09.:04:13.

they can catch arc stretching the industry to breaking-point and they

:04:13.:04:23.
:04:23.:04:23.

say that things could get even harder. Jamie's boat has been tied

:04:23.:04:30.

up for eight months. He wants to be doing this. Harvesting cockles. But

:04:30.:04:34.

Fisher men reached the limits set by the fissuring -- fisherman's

:04:34.:04:42.

authority and now cannot catch any more until a new quota is set.

:04:42.:04:46.

Terrible. People cannot earn a living. They have not even make the

:04:46.:04:54.

minimum wage for the last 12 months. This is a lucrative crop worth

:04:54.:04:58.

�1,000 per tonne. But fishermen say that the rules leaves them

:04:58.:05:05.

scratching around for work and reliant on a few private contracts.

:05:05.:05:12.

With successful stock management we can provide a successful future.

:05:12.:05:17.

There is quite a lot of damage your but it is not purely problem. A

:05:17.:05:22.

cable has been laid here Connecting the Skegness wind farm with the

:05:22.:05:27.

shore. It has cut through a cockle bed and killed some of this year's

:05:27.:05:36.

stock. Anywhere from 800-1,200 tonnes. So they're coming back to

:05:36.:05:42.

cut through again which will destroy more. Another cable will be

:05:42.:05:49.

relayed by the wind farm owners in May. They say that because -- the

:05:49.:05:54.

dispute the claim. But they admit that it is unclear how many young

:05:54.:05:58.

cockles died. For many this is just another pressure on a struggling

:05:58.:06:04.

industry. The boats you see here a you shouldn't see here. They should

:06:05.:06:09.

be out doing their jobs at sea. At the moment their benefit claimants

:06:09.:06:16.

and their boats are in debt. Fishing is a trade handed down

:06:16.:06:20.

through the generations. But no fish are many here say that the

:06:20.:06:23.

economic pressures are so great that unless something changes at

:06:23.:06:32.

the industry is at risk of dying Coming up: why the Red Arrows will

:06:32.:06:41.

not be flying like this over the 115 people face redundancy with the

:06:42.:06:46.

closure of a well known haulage a farmer in Hull. Administrators have

Cromer hospital open new units today. Others will fall on the next

:07:11.:07:15.

few weeks. Lincolnshire Fire and rescue is trying to recruit more

:07:15.:07:22.

women. They say that women with children at school could help.

:07:22.:07:26.

Calls will be made this week for flood insurance to be kept

:07:26.:07:31.

available and affordable for homeowners. On Wednesday government

:07:31.:07:35.

ministers, insurers, and local councillors will come together to

:07:35.:07:38.

discuss the problem of people not being able to get their house

:07:38.:07:43.

insured because they live in a flood risk area. Recent figures

:07:43.:07:51.

suggest almost 17,000 homes are at risk in Hull and East Riding alone.

:07:51.:07:58.

Wendy is one of the only 15,000 people whose home was flooded in

:07:58.:08:04.

Hull in 2007. -- nearly 15,000 people. Although the deluge has

:08:04.:08:07.

gone she is still feeling the effects. Insurance premiums have

:08:07.:08:17.

rocketed. Our last premium came to �750 pair in Year and �15,000

:08:17.:08:24.

excess. How can anybody find that? The floods left the insurance

:08:24.:08:28.

companies with a bill running into the billions. A deal between

:08:28.:08:34.

government and insurers to cover flood risk homes 10th next year.

:08:34.:08:38.

That has left many homeowners worried that they could be

:08:38.:08:43.

blacklisted by insurers. government must bear pen and decide

:08:43.:08:48.

who to support will communities. We cannot leave entire cities unable

:08:48.:08:55.

to access the insurance market. Despite fears many homes could

:08:55.:08:59.

become unsaleable this estate agent claims they still appeal to first-

:08:59.:09:07.

time buyers. It will have some effect but there are plus sides.

:09:07.:09:13.

You just got to lookout for other insurance elsewhere. When they

:09:13.:09:17.

eventually found the company to insular her for what here but is

:09:17.:09:23.

worried what will happen after that. I am really dreading that. Not just

:09:23.:09:27.

for me, but for all the flood victims. We had many sleepless

:09:28.:09:33.

nights and I had a nervous breakdown. I am sure this will put

:09:33.:09:42.

a lot of pressure on people who cannot get insurance next year.

:09:42.:09:45.

When they now lives with the constant fear it could all happen

:09:45.:09:55.
:09:55.:09:56.

again and that she will not able to I am joined by the floods Minister,

:09:56.:10:02.

Richard Benyon. Can you be sure our viewers that their homes will not

:10:02.:10:11.

become unsaleable. -- can you reassure? We are working very hard

:10:11.:10:17.

to reach principles there will cover the arrangement that ends in

:10:17.:10:22.

2013. We want something that falls at which makes insureds widely

:10:22.:10:28.

available. People can get insurance right now but ideally what you want

:10:28.:10:36.

to see happen after 2013? That homes will take precautions to

:10:36.:10:40.

limit the effects of flooding, which many are doing. That is

:10:40.:10:45.

reflected in premiums. Government will be spending �2.7 million over

:10:45.:10:50.

the next three years on flood protection. We will continue to

:10:50.:10:54.

play our part in making sure that happens. And we want to find an

:10:54.:10:58.

arrangement so that we can announce in the spring to the insurance

:10:58.:11:03.

industry that insurers will be widely available. And also

:11:03.:11:09.

protection for those on low incomes. Are you close to that and will be

:11:09.:11:16.

insulins be affordable? Day is no arrangement on a affordability. The

:11:16.:11:20.

so-called statement of principles is just about availability, not

:11:20.:11:25.

cost. The recognise there are many people in flood risk areas who have

:11:25.:11:31.

the threat of the actual effect of massively increased premiums. We

:11:31.:11:34.

want to make sure government is still doing it spat but we also

:11:34.:11:38.

want reach agreements with the insurance industry to make sure it

:11:38.:11:45.

is widely available and affordable. Diana Johnson, a local MP, says

:11:46.:11:53.

flood defence budgets are being cut by 27%. Is that true? No It is not.

:11:53.:11:59.

We are spending 6% less than the last spending period but you

:11:59.:12:02.

spending it better. We're keeping an extra money from other sources,

:12:02.:12:08.

�72 million this year, we hope more next year. And the efficiency of

:12:08.:12:12.

what we're doing, we hope we can put forward a good part of the

:12:12.:12:19.

Government's part of the deal, putting money into flood defences.

Tomorrow will be a quieter picture, a ridge of high pressure means much

:14:02.:14:07.

less wind and it has been blowing a gale on the coast with guests

:14:07.:14:14.

approaching 50 miles an hour. The swirl of clout is feeding cloud

:14:14.:14:22.

into East Lincolnshire and North. - - cloud. It has been a horrible day

:14:22.:14:31.

again over the last few hours. The cloud feeding in, patchy rain,

:14:31.:14:37.

further north and west dry it with clear spells. A touch of frost in

:14:37.:14:45.

set -- in places. Eventually, the wind will ease. The high water

:14:45.:14:55.
:14:55.:14:56.

A much better day in general, there will be cloud to watch out for in

:14:56.:15:00.

extreme south eastern parts. The risk of patchy rain towards the

:15:00.:15:04.

Wash and North Norfolk. Some sunshine and a light south-west

:15:04.:15:14.
:15:14.:15:15.

breeze. Everywhere will feel less cold. The top temperatures:

:15:15.:15:20.

temperatures up to nine degrees in Gainsborough and Lincoln. Further

:15:20.:15:26.

Outlook, Graham MacPherson, sunshine and showers, predominantly

:15:26.:15:31.

dry towards the end of the week and getting milder.

:15:31.:15:39.

In matters to us sea dogs who you have upset! -- it matters. Too late

:15:39.:15:43.

to back pedal. See you tomorrow. They're one of the most familiar

:15:43.:15:46.

sights in the skies above Lincolnshire - and we're all used

:15:46.:15:48.

to seeing the Scampton-based red arrows flying like this. But for

:15:49.:15:52.

the rest of the summer season, there won't be nine hawk jets - but

:15:52.:15:56.

just seven - looking like this. It follows the death of two pilots

:15:56.:16:00.

earlier in the season. The reds will still fly in their traditional

:16:00.:16:02.

nine formation for flypasts at big events like the diamond jubilee,

:16:02.:16:07.

but for this summers displays only, their numbers will be cut. I spoke

:16:07.:16:17.
:16:17.:16:17.

to Aviation writer Jim Ferguson This is a great shame, I do not

:16:17.:16:21.

think it should detract from the scale of the aerobatic team. People

:16:21.:16:28.

will flock in hundreds of thousands to any Red Arrows display so the

:16:28.:16:31.

main thing well before the members of the team to reassess where they

:16:31.:16:37.

are. Do you think This is the start of a scaling back of the Red

:16:37.:16:44.

Arrows? I would hope not. This country has lots of past Aviation

:16:44.:16:49.

icons, the only one we have got left is the Red Arrows. If anyone

:16:49.:16:57.

in the Treasury or the money- changers, keep their fingers out.

:16:57.:17:00.

Do you sent politicians might think now is the time to draw a line

:17:00.:17:06.

under the Red Arrows -- do you sense? The aircraft are getting

:17:06.:17:14.

older. An interesting question, you have to ask the Chief of the Air

:17:14.:17:19.

Staff or the Defence Secretary. It would be an unpopular decision for

:17:19.:17:24.

whatever reason. Hundreds of thousands see the Red Arrows every

:17:24.:17:29.

year, they are at the top of the world's aerobatic display teams.

:17:29.:17:33.

Even if the aircraft are wearing out, thought should be given to

:17:33.:17:39.

replace them and make us aware of the possibility but not for many

:17:39.:17:47.

years. They have had a torrid 12 months. Correct. The Bournemouth

:17:47.:17:53.

accident and the other tragedy. Not good at all for any unit of the

:17:53.:17:57.

Royal Air Force or military unit. Not good for the Red Arrows because

:17:57.:18:02.

the team spirit is quite remarkable, they are a team in the finest sense

:18:02.:18:11.

of the word. The goods to talk you. -- good to talk to you. And this is

:18:11.:18:14.

another story you might like to comment on. As always, you can get

:18:14.:18:18.

in touch in all the usual ways - the email and text numbers are on

:18:18.:18:21.

the screen now. Hull Kingston Rovers got an

:18:21.:18:24.

impressive win in the Super League as they beat Widnes 36-0 at Craven

Park. There was also a win for Hull FC yesterday, as Linsey Smith

:18:29.:18:39.

reports. Former Hull FC coach Richard Agar

:18:39.:18:43.

was denied a return to the KC Stadium. The Wigan boss watched

:18:43.:18:52.

Hull notch up a lead. Will sharp increased their lead and it looked

:18:52.:18:58.

like they had achieved their first clean sheet in six years. But the

Wakefield Wildcats 10. -- Hull FC. At Craven Park, the Robins got off

:19:12.:19:19.

to the perfect start with a third- minute try. Jake Webster and George

:19:19.:19:22.

Hodgson got their names on the scoreboard, the traffic was all

:19:22.:19:32.

one-way. It was Craig hawk who scored two of the six tries. The

:19:32.:19:37.

coach praised his side for managing a 36-0 winner despite some of the

:19:37.:19:43.

worst possible conditions, turning the match into a mudbath. Hull City

:19:43.:19:45.

face arch-rivals Leeds United tomorrow in their latest attempt to

:19:45.:19:50.

move back into the play-off places. The Tigers left it late to salvage

:19:50.:19:53.

a point at Blackpool after going behind at Bloomfield Road on Friday.

:19:53.:19:56.

In the end a last minute Matty Fryatt goal secured a point for

:20:17.:20:19.

Scunthorpe United manager Alan Knill says this month will be vital

:20:19.:20:23.

for their bid to stay in league one. Saturday's 4-1 win against Wycombe

:20:23.:20:26.

means they are now two points above the relegation zone as they prepare

:20:26.:20:35.

to travel to Oldham tomorrow. month is a big one, nine games this

:20:35.:20:41.

month. If we can come out of it with positive points we will be in

:20:41.:20:46.

a good position for the last month. And a reminder that former Hull

:20:46.:20:48.

City Boss Phil Brown and Scunthorpe's former manager Brian

:20:48.:20:52.

Laws will both be on Late Kick Off this evening. We'll also be able to

:20:52.:20:56.

see all the weekend's goals - that's at 11:05pm tonight.

:20:56.:20:59.

Three Lincolnshire swimmers are fighting for their place at the

:20:59.:21:02.

London Olympics this evening. Lizzie Simmonds, Katie Haywood and

:21:02.:21:04.

Sophie Allen are all competing at the Olympic Aquatics Centre in

:21:04.:21:11.

London for a place in Team GB. Our Olympic correspondent Simon Clark

:21:11.:21:14.

is following their progress for us. Simon, how likely is it they'll

:21:15.:21:21.

make it? If you go to the BBC red button,

:21:21.:21:26.

you can see this live and in 10 seconds will know if Luneside East

:21:26.:21:32.

-- Lizzie Simmonds is making it for the women's backstroke. Here it

:21:32.:21:36.

comes. The key moment, we will learn whether Lizzie Simmonds has

:21:37.:21:44.

been successful or not. It is one of two events we will be watching,

:21:44.:21:49.

we need to see if she will come second. In the 100 metres

:21:49.:21:59.
:21:59.:22:00.

breaststroke, Kate Haywood. She did tremendously well in the heats but

:22:00.:22:05.

needed the qualifying time, she needs to swim faster tonight. This

:22:05.:22:12.

young lady, Sophie Allen has had a tremendous meeting, qualifying for

:22:12.:22:20.

the other final and goes head-to- head with TT tonight. She needs a

:22:20.:22:25.

fast race. They race will be on at about 7pm tonight. Watch it on the

:22:25.:22:29.

BBC red button. The rotting carcass of a huge sperm

:22:29.:22:33.

whale has provided an unexpected tourist attraction for Skegness.

:22:33.:22:36.

Hundreds of people have been to see the remains since the whale was

:22:36.:22:39.

discovered on Saturday morning. Preparations are now being made to

:22:39.:22:47.

remove it from the beach. Here's Simon Spark.

:22:47.:22:52.

Today in the wind and rain, there is little to see but sand. Despite

:22:52.:22:56.

the weather, what lies beneath has brought people here to take a

:22:56.:23:03.

closer look. Something, pollution which is doing this. It is really

:23:03.:23:11.

sad. A once-in-a-lifetime thing. We shall never see it again. How do

:23:11.:23:18.

you shift something like that? 50 ft sperm whale washed ashore on

:23:18.:23:22.

Saturday. It's believed to have died a few days before it was

:23:22.:23:26.

beached. Because of that, it was covered with sand to minimise its

:23:26.:23:34.

pungent smell. Basically, I saw this shape and I thought it was an

:23:34.:23:39.

upturned boat. As it got closer, the smell made us realise it was a

:23:39.:23:46.

carcass. Sadly, for that to happen, these things happen in nature.

:23:46.:23:51.

Experts said there were a number of things they could have happened.

:23:51.:23:56.

should have been in deeper water than the sea off Skegness. It was

:23:56.:24:00.

probably in the North Atlantic or Norwegian Sea where it is deeper.

:24:00.:24:06.

It would have been feeding on squid, they can dive to 3,000 metres. I

:24:06.:24:13.

think it would have been up there. That's my guess. Its 50 metres, 50

:24:13.:24:19.

ft in length but the real problem is its sheer weight. Estimated to

:24:19.:24:25.

be between 25 and 30 tons and that will be a real issue when trying to

:24:25.:24:30.

move it. A decision on how to finally move it is still to be made.

:24:30.:24:33.

Simon Spark is live in Skegness. Simon, what will happen to the

:24:33.:24:43.

whale's body now? Well, we will update you had three

:24:43.:24:48.

in a moment. It is a third night under the sky for the Skegness

:24:48.:24:54.

whale. It is lying under a blanket of sand 300 yards from me. Most

:24:54.:24:58.

people have come to see it and a trickle of people coming to see it

and they have asked me the same question, what will happen next and

:25:03.:25:08.

how will they move it? To update us is East Lindsey District Council.

:25:08.:25:14.

Any further answers? We are waiting for a licence to remove it from the
