forget a first look at the papers over on the BBC News Channel. But | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
now Good evening. Humberside's Chief | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Constable has told BBC Look North that cuts in police numbers won't | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
mean a poorer service. The force is facing the loss of 200 officers in | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
the next four years. In Lincolnshire they are still fighting for extra | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
funds. We will have more on that in just a moment, but first Sarah | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Corker has this report on the future of Humberside Police. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Justine Curran's arrival was heralded as a new era for the | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Humberside force. It's been a year where she's received royal | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
recognition for her services. Her officers have faced the challenges | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
of policing EDL matches, and the chaos of December's tidal strge | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
of policing EDL matches, and the chaos of December's tidal surge. `` | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
chaos of December's tidal strge `` marches. Her biggest test is the | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
same, cutting crime with fewer officers. It's roughly around the | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
200 officer mark, and up to 500 police staff, so it is signhficant. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
police staff, so it is significant. I'm not ducking that. What we are | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
doing at the same time is a lot of modernisation, a lot of change in | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
how we work, how we use technology. Can you understand the publhc's | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
Can you understand the public's concern that this is restricting the | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
force's ability to fight crime? Of course I can understand the concern. | :01:13. | :01:22. | |
I'm not sitting here saying, that's a fantastic thing for us, btt the | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
reason I'm here is to be a bit more sophisticated about it than that. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
21st`century policing is not as simple as having a cop on every | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
street. And working with the street. And working with thd | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
community and businesses dohng their bit to help police is seen as | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
community and businesses doing their bit to help police is seen `s the | :01:36. | :01:35. | |
bit to help police is seen as the way forward. If you see a crime you | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
way forward. If you see a crime, you should be able to stop it, not just | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
leave it to the police or the community police. I still don't | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
think you can beat seeing bobbies walking around and doing thdir job. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
I think it has a good effect. The force is increasingly sharing | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
expertise. One dive team serves all Yorkshire forces. Mounted officers | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
are hired in. So what's next? I don't think the merger of forces is | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
on the agenda at the moment. What we need to do, to make sure we are | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
protecting our front`line officers in communities, is to share where we | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
can for those specialist functions I've talked about that are | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
expensive, that we can do better together. When you first st`rted, | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
together. When you first started, you said, I hope the Commissioner | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
leaves policing to us. Has he done that or has he been interfering? No, | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
he's not been interfering. The commissioner's role is to sdt the | :02:24. | :02:24. | |
commissioner's role is to set the strategic priorities, which he's | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
done through the Police and Crime Plan, to give us the budget we need | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
and hold us to account. But it's my job to deliver policing. He respects | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
that. With ?30 million of savings to that. With ?30 million of s`vings to | :02:34. | :02:37. | |

Police and Criminal Justice Minister Damian Green took to the Ermine | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Damian Green took to the Erline estate in Lincoln to see for himself | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
the challenges that Lincolnshire Police face. His visit todax, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Police face. His visit today, an opportunity for those involved in | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
policing the county to meet and lobby for a better deal. If I look | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
in my crystal ball, the pot of money for policing is shrinking. My | :03:15. | :03:18. | |

Commissioner Alan Hardwick. We have here the government performhng what | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
I can only describe as a slhght of hand, they're picking the pockets of | :04:00. | :04:00. | |

the people of Lincolnshire and other the people of Lincolnshire and other | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
counties by giving us money with one hand, and taking millions of pounds | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
back with the other hand. Today the Minister confirmed the government is | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
reviewing the funding formula that determines how much money | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Lincolnshire Police receives. I have set in train a root and branch look | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
at the funding formula so that we can be as fair as possible to all | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
parts of the country. The chance to speak directly to the Minister is a | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
rare opportunity, and those in charge of Lincolnshire's force will | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
hope they have managed to influence government thinking. | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
It will be the UK's largest solar energy farm and it will be built at | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
RAF Faldingworth just outside Market Rasen in Lincolnshire. But despite | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
claims that the farm will produce enough energy for 12,000 homes, | :04:48. | :04:48. | |
enough energy for 12,000 holes, people living nearby insist it | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
should never have been given planning permission. Our business | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
correspondent Paul Murphy joins me now. Paul, why has this row broke | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
out? It boils down to the type of land | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
this solar energy Park is being built on, government guidance they | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
should only be tilted on Brownfield or former industrial sites, the | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
council says that is what this site actually is. It's a former | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
airfield. Many local people disagree. In actual fact thhs is not | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
disagree. In actual fact this is not a brownfield site. It was a | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Brownfield site when it was the airfield, the World War Two | :05:27. | :05:27. | |
airfield. But since its comlission airfield. But since its comlission | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
it's undergone a project of reinstatement. `` back to | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
agriculture. There is a concern, a agriculture. There is a concern a | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
wider concern in Lincolnshire, this food production Co, there is a | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
danger to the elements like these are encroaching on prime | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
agricultural land. We have spent many years making the case to | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
government that Lincolnshire's land is worth a huge amount to government | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
and national plc for food security reasons. We would be very crazy if | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
we then start saying that solar is OK on agricultural land. We will see | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
more of this tension between energy production, and that biomass or wind | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
or solar and food production, particularly in Lincolnshird, a part | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
particularly in Lincolnshire, a part of the country which is ide`lly | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
suited to both. And in tonight's Challenge Cup game, Hull FC drew | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
36`all to Salford, before going out on a golden point. It has been a | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
miserable day, let take a look at the weather. Yellow mac good | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
evening, an improvement tomorrow. A damp and grey start but it should | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
get brighter and we will get a south`westerly and that will create | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
`` clear any air pollution. Much improved air quality. Some patchy | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
outbreaks of rain to come tonight. Hill fog, some mist and temperatures | :06:57. | :07:01. | |

around seven or eight agrees. Friday, a familiar start, mhsty and | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
dumb but any rain will move away to the north. Cloud into the afternoon | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
but it will get brighter, some sunny intervals and will not two showers, | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
top afternoon temperatures, 14 or 15 degrees. That is the forecast. | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
Newsnight is over on BBC Two with an exclusive interview with the former | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
US president, Jimmy Carter. We are back tomorrow at 6:25am. Goodbye. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
weather looks. Now the latest on the pesky pollution. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Good evening. They say a change of air is good for you and that is what | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
we have on the way. The brush that will sweep away all of the air | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
pollution is a weather system developing in the Atlantic. The | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Atlantic implements very much across the UK from the next few days -- | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
over the next few days. Cleaner air from the Atlantic. Ringing rain as | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
well. That is also good because it tends to wash the particles out of | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
the air. We have seen that happening today with fairly heavy rain at | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
times across parts of Wales and south-west England. It will continue | :08:13. | :08:13. | |
north | :08:14. | :08:14. |
