died aged 88. That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Claims that an influx of migrants from Romania and Bulgaria hasn't | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
materialised. The message that we have got across is that the area is | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
so full of migrant workers that there is no extra work here. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The Government's asked to help three former soldiers from East Yorkshire | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
who are being held in an Indian jail. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
The report that says you're more likely to be obese if you live near | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
a takeaway. She's done it again ` Lincolnshire's | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
Jade Etherington celebrates a record medal haul at the Winter | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
Paralympics. And there are some sunshine to come this weekend. | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
An investigation by BBC Look North has found that claims that a rush of | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Romanians and Bulgarians would come to work in Britain have not so far | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
become reality in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Fears had been raised | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
by some politicians and research groups that an influx of new | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
migrants would put pressure on public services in towns including | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Boston. But some companies who employ workers from overseas say | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
they're disappointed Romanians and Bulgarians are not coming at all. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Here's our rural affairs correspondent, Linsey Smith. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Spring has sprung and in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire there are | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
more than the usual signs. Once we see that the flowers are going to be | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
ready, then we start ringing the agencies that we use and will tell | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
them how many pickers we think we want on a particular day. We're | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
right in the peak of the season now and we are up to 150. We would | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
really like about 200 at the moment. How many Romanians and Bulgarians | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
have you had? I don't think we've got any. It's not just in the | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
daffodil fields. We spoke to farmers, pack house owners and gang | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
agencies. All of which were poised for an influx, they haven't seen a | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
single Romanian or Bulgarian. On January the 1st On January the 1st | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
all eyes were on airport arrival lounges. The Home Office say they'll | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
be no official figures on the numbers of new migrants from Romania | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
and Bulgaria until May. If they had headed here you may | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
expect to find some here. Park Academy, Boston's school with a | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
glowing reputation for welcoming children of different nationalities. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
67% of the pupils here don't speak English as their first language. We | :02:41. | :02:53. | |
haven't seen any, we've had no interest from Romanian or Bulgarian | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
families at all. It certainly would have been a struggle, the biggest | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
challenge for us would've been places. Protesters in Boston are | :03:01. | :03:12. | |
also worried about public services being overstretched. But even Boston | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Borough Council say they have taken a couple of tentative housing | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
enquiries from Romanians and Bulgarians. But Liliana Demeter says | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the UK has missed out. A trained Romanian nurse, she moved here with | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
her family a decade ago. In the nursing field, it is well known | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
there are lots of jobs and they need nurses. From the local hospital they | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
have gone to Portugal to recruit. Bad publicity around coming here had | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
also a little bit of an impact and especially people with kids. Why | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
they choose to come somewhere where they are not welcome. There are | :03:46. | :03:58. | |
other countries, now it is three all over `` The UK's door is still open | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
to Romanians and Bulgarians but in this home they feel there's little | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
appetite to join them. The UK Independence Party was among | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
those warning there would be tens of thousands of new migrants from | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Bulgaria and Romania. I spoke to Roger Helmer ` the UKIP MEP for the | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
East Midlands. I asked him if he believes everyone wants to come and | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
live in Britain. Of course not everyone wants to come | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
to Britain, but very large numbers of people do want to come to Britain | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
and have come to Britain, and will continue to come to Britain unless | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
we get a grip on our borders. All the people we have spoken to, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
farmers and employers, none have seen an influx of Romanians and | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Bulgarian workers. It has not happened. If you go back to the | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
beginning of 2013, you will find there are about 112,000 Romanians | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
and Bulgarians in Britain. By the end of the year there were 142,000. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Sorry, 141,000. You have got nearly 30,000 coming during the course of | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
last year. We don't have good statistics for this year, and | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
obviously it is still nine and a half months to go. Everyone was | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
talking about the start of January. UKIP got it wrong. There was a lot | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
of scaremongering, wasn't there? Absolutely not. As politicians we | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
can tell you how many people gained the right to come to Britain at the | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
beginning of this year, and that was close on 29 million in Bulgaria and | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Romania. What we can't tell you is exactly how many will come. There | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
was all the scaremongering. There is a quote here from Godfrey Bloom in | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
2012. Britain will be unable to stop the tidal flood of new immigrants. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Where is this tidal flood? We have not even had a drip since January. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
We don't know what the statistics are, but we do know 30,000 came last | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
year, and we know the National Statistics Office is estimating | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
50,000 a year for subsequent years, so these are not trivial numbers. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
You must want to congratulate David Cameron, because another factor | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
could be that the new migrants wouldn't be able to claim benefits | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
for the first three months. That is a well done job, isn't it? He has | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
made a few little gestures, but frankly in the overall scheme of | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
things they make no real difference. The fact is, we in Britain can no | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
longer control our borders in terms of people coming from the European | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Union, and we need to be able to do that. Are you sad we have missed out | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
on a potential new labour force since the start of January, that | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
firms desperately need those people? No, of course. We have to get a | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
balance. UKIP isn't saying we don't want immigration. We are saying we | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
want sensible numbers that we can cope with, and we want to be able to | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
select people who are needed by British industry. It is about | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
numbers and skills. Nothing to do with race or religion, or ethnicity | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
or nationality. It is about numbers and skills. Other countries do this | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
in a rational way. Canada and Australia. We can't because we are | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
not very good with our borders and we are in the European Union. | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
Did some politicians get it wrong? Has Britain put off new migrants who | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
are now working in countries like Germany? Do you agree with Roger | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Helmer that Britain is not very good with its borders? Should reselect | :07:10. | :07:21. | |
people `` should we select people? Email: [email protected]. Text: | :07:22. | :07:26. | |

Twitter PeterLevy. Immigration will be one of the big | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
talking points on this week's Sunday Politics. The programme starts at | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
11am on BBC One. Guests include the Grimsby MP Austin Mitchell and the | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
Brigg and Goole MP, Andrew Percy. In a moment: Coming to Hull ` The | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
city welcomes the man who could give millions to local arts | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
organisations. David Cameron is being asked to help | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
three former soldiers from East Yorkshire who are in jail in India. | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
They're among six men arrested last October when Indian police detained | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
the ship they were protecting against pirates. They were refused | :08:13. | :08:27. | |
bail today. They have all served their country | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
and now they need their country. Purslane array from Hull is a | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
Buddhist soldier jailed in India `` British soldier. He had been working | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
for an American security company when the Indian authorities detained | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
that vessel five months ago. There she had had sailed from Yemen | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
through waters with pirates. Its owners say the Indian Coast Guard | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
allowed to enter the port to shelter from a cyclone. But India claims | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
wasn't the right paperwork for the weapons on board. They had arms of | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
course because they have to arm themselves. They were doing a job to | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
protect themselves. Pressure is on the government to intervene. 100,000 | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
signatures have been collected on a petition urging the Prime Minister | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
to stepping. A former paratrooper is held as well. His father says every | :09:30. | :09:39. | |
day is tough. It can tie you up in knots. It has had an affect on the | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
whole family. Everyone is concerned. We are spoken to the Foreign Office | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
today who says this is a difficult and important case that the primers | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
has raised with the authorities, but is unable to get the release of | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
British nationals or interfere with another country's legal processes. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
It did say it will do all it can to help and stress the importance of a | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
quick resolution. Carroll says that is not enough. David Cameron, if it | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
was your son what would you do? If it was your family what would you | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
do? You would want to get back home. You would do the best you could to | :10:19. | :10:34. | |
get these guys are back home. We will continue to follow that story | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
if there are any developments. Engineers have started dismantling | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
an experimental tidal power generator in the Humber. The Neptune | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
was built to provide power to The Deep, but was scrapped when the | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
company behind it went into liquidation. People living on Hull's | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
Victoria Dock had campaigned to have it removed, saying it had become an | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
eyesore. Network Rail says a broken locking | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
mechanism on the Goole swing bridge was behind delays last night. Five | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
trains on the Hull to Doncaster line were held up. It took two hours for | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
the problem to be fixed. A police constable from Hull has | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
been to Buckingham Palace today to receive her MBE. PC Sharon Houfe was | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
given the honour by Prince Charles for her work developing | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
relationships with Hull's Muslim community and for tackling racial | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
bullying in the city's schools. And Greg Knight, the MP for East | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Yorkshire, was knighted at the same ceremony, for his work in the | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
Conservative's Whips' Office. If you live near a take`away you're | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
more likely to be obese. That's according to new research in the | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
British Medical Journal. They say there's been a large increase in | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
take`away food businesses in recent year. For example we found out that | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
in 2010 in North Lincolnshire there were 102 takeaways. There are now | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
175. That's a 75% rise. And in that area almost a third of people are | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
overweight. Sarah Corker reports from Scunthorpe. | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
Fast food is cheap and convenient, but often high in fat and calories. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
But takeaway owners say they're just responding to demand. All take | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
arrays have high calories, but you can get it from the supermarket as | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
well. It is not just us and you're giving people what they want. Almost | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
30% of adults here are OBEs, above the national average. Here in | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Scunthorpe, I have counted 14 take arrays in less than half a mile foot | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
of the report today says the closer either to a fast`food joint the more | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
likely you are to be overweight. How often do you eat takeaway is? Five | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
days a week. Ie chicken and kebabs. It keeps people lazy. June and Mayo. | :12:57. | :13:12. | |
It is healthy `` We need between between two and 2500 calories a day. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
Fish and chips with mushy peas is 604 calories A meat feast pizza | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
comes in at 900 calories And for a whopping 1,436 calories, you can get | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
a chinese sweet and sour chicken with egg friend rice and spring | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
rolls. `` fried. More takeaways are appearing on our high streets than | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
ever before. Just because there is a fast`food joint there it does not | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
mean you have to eat it. We have to make sure people exercise. Will the | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
council listen to this advice and limit the number of takeaways? We | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
believe interesting people. And health professionals want councils | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
to take more responsbility. If customers want to eat healthy baking | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
comb into an establishment and that choice is there for them. In Hull, | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
the council's encouring businesses to offer healthy options, like | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
grilling food rather frying it. So the message is some fast foods are | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
kinder to your wastelines than others. It's your choice. | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
Are there too many takeaways? Should councils stop new ones opening? Are | :14:15. | :14:28. | |
they making people obese? There is the contact details below. | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
Still ahead tonight: The Lincolnshire skier who's become | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
Britain's most successful woman at the Winter Paralympics. It was the | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
best race we have done together, so we are both happy. Let's take a look | :14:55. | :15:13. | |
at night's picture. This is a lovely picture. It is these are good at the | :15:14. | :15:29. | |
weekend send it in. `` if you see anything good. You said I was | :15:30. | :15:46. | |
bossy. Let's have a look at the weather. There'll be some sunshine | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
but cloud tomorrow morning. It will brighten up and LB sunshine by | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
tomorrow afternoon. Sunday is pleasant. It is because there is | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
pressure from the South and settled weather through the rest of the | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
week. We will start the season changes by Wednesday. More cloud | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
develops as we move through the course of the afternoon. It will | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
continue to spread southwards overnight. A largely cloudy night | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
developing but mostly dry one and underneath that cloud temperatures | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
will drop too low. Not as cool as last night. Seven or eight degrees. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
We will have the problems of mist and fog. Your next high water will | :16:31. | :16:45. | |
be at 5am tomorrow morning. A loss of cloud around. It may well linger | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
until late morning, midday, but I'm hopeful it will brighten up through | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
tomorrow. We should see some sunny spells breaking through, but it | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
might be that temperatures don't go too high. It also the average of 12 | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
or 13 degrees. It with outbreaks of quickly enough I wouldn't be | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
surprised to see temperatures getting up to 14 or 15 degrees. On | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
Sunday, there will be some low cloud around, but that should burn off and | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
we will have some spells of sunshine. Another dry day to come | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
and cool on Tuesday. We will start to see changes on Monday. There will | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
be some rain around. Thank you for your grandmother who dogged me in. | :17:39. | :17:48. | |
The head of the organisation that funds arts in England says he can | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
help Hull unlock its potential before it becomes UK City of Culture | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
in 2017. Alan Davey has already approved millions of pounds for the | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
city but says there are never guarantees about more funding. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Caroline Bilton met him as he toured the city today. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
He came to see the cultural highlights of Hull ` This is a man | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
who holds the key to unlock lots of money ` so those who are behind | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Hull's City of Culture celebrations were keen to bend his ear. The arts | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
Council has committed ?3 million but we see the opportunity to make a | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
difference here. His visit started off here at Hull Truck Theatre one | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
the main recipients of arts council funding in the city at the moment. | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
He then visited smaller businesses like this art gallery, who are | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
hoping the city of Gold estate will open new doors. `` city of culture | :18:42. | :18:54. | |
status. We can't extend our state is it we don't get the money. From | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
grassroots to big events, the city of culture celebrations come with a | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
80 million pounds price tag. The council is facing cuts, so what can | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
they promised? It is always competitive. What is happening in | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
Hull is special. It is special but Hull. It is special for art and | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
culture, so we have to get behind it and we are. We will find a way. | :19:22. | :19:31. | |
There are no guarantees? I can never give guarantees. Other visits in the | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
pipeline will happen. Conversations happen all over the UK for the city | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
of culture. I've met with some of the lottery distributors, the | :19:43. | :19:51. | |
British film Institute. They want to understand what we are achieving | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
here. He says the main thing he will take away from his visit is the | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
possibility of what can be achieved here. Of course, arts Council | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
funding is crucial in achieving that full potential, but he tells me | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
this, it'll be the first of many visits to the city. | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
The winners at last night's Hull and East Yorkshire tourism awards say | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
they're confident that they can do their bit to attract more visitors | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
to the area. At last night's ceremony in Bridlington there was a | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
determination from winners like RSPB Bempton and the KC Stadium to take | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
full advantage of Hull's year as UK City of Culture 2017. | :20:29. | :20:37. | |

We couldn't have played any better against them, and we still weren't | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
good enough. I accept that and say OK, we were beaten fairly and that | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
is what we have to do tomorrow. We have to make sure we play well. | :22:06. | :22:13. | |

in sporting history. She is now the most successful woman British winter | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
paralympian after winning her fourth skiing medal in Sochi. Jade has 5% | :24:26. | :24:34. | |
vision. At her former school in Market Deeping in South | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
Lincolnshire, pupils and teachers say they are very proud of her | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
achievement. Jake Zuckerman has the story. | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
The moment Lincolnshire's Jade Etherington make paralympic history. | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
Taking silver in the super`combined earlier this morning in Sochi. With | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
three silvers and a bronze, Jade, from Bourne, and her guide Caroline | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
Powell, have become the most successful British women ever at the | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
Winter Paralympics. We missed the silver and did go throw it. We had a | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
good performance. It was the fastest and best race we have done together. | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
We are both happy and it is a shame as it was so close to the gold. We | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
tried hard and said we didn't want to just finished I get the silver. | :25:20. | :25:31. | |
`` and get. There are 45 countries competing in the Winter Paralympics. | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
With four medals to her name, Jade has won more in total than Norway, | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
Sweden or Finland. At her old school in Market Deeping, where they've | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
been following Jade's every move, her success has been inspiring | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
current students too. I have dreams and aspirations I want to achieve. | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
If that is what she wanted to do for her live, then it makes me feel I | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
could do that as well. It is amazing to see what she has gone through. | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
Those who taught Jade say she's always shown great strength of | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
character. She was very bubbly and it can be quite challenging, because | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
she had very clear ideas about what you wanted to achieve, and was | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
determined to achieve them even though it seemed very difficult for | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
her. She was very determined, and that determination to succeed | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
clearly has led to great things in terms of her skiing. So far gold | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
medal position has remained just beyond Jade's grasp, but she and her | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
guide have one final chance to add to their medal tally on Sunday when | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
they compete in the Giant Slalom. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
and regional headlines. An MP for more than 50 years and tireless | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
campaigner for socialism ` the former Labour cabinet minister Tony | :26:47. | :26:55. | |
Benn has died. There is a predicted influx of migrants to East | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
Yorkshire, but it fails to materialise. Tomorrow's weather: A | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
cloudy morning but tending to brighten into the afternoon. A fresh | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
breeze and a maximum temperature of 14 Celsius. We have some messages on | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
migration. Mike has treated. Only a small number have come to date, but | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
it is far to early that we should think no more to come. UKIP | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
exaggerate the figures. Tony says your speakerphone UKIP was select. | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
We have to select immigrants and choose the right ones `` speaker | :27:35. | :27:45. | |
