Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. A | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
worker dies at the Cemex cement`making factory. Al baguette | :00:10. | :00:21. | |
and local reaction to the tragic incident `` al be getting. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
As Hull City prepare for their first ever European competition, how will | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
their success reflect on the area? Clearly the value of this | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
competition to the city goes beyond everything. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Veterans from Hull are honoured for their part in liberating Holland in | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
World War II. Boston Stump re`opens after being | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
severely damaged in December's tidal surge. Don't forget that forecast in | :00:46. | :01:02. | |
15 minutes. A man has died after an incident at | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
a cement making factory in North Lincolnshire. It happened this | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
morning as he was working to repair part of the Cemex plant in South | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Ferriby which was damaged by December's tidal surge. Our reporter | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Kate Sweeting joins me now live from South Ferriby. Kate, what more do we | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
know about the incident? This is thought to have happened | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
mid`morning today. The man, who's a German contractor in his 30s, was | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
working to repair flood damage here, which happened during the December | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
tidal surge. Earlier I spoke to the first aider who treated him who told | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
me he fell, sustaining serious injuries which killed him. All the | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
staff was sent home early today. This factory is a big employer in | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
South Ferriby, and people locally have been hugely shocked. I've only | :01:52. | :02:07. | |
just heard the news. It is sad. You don't expect it. You think | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
everything is getting back to normal. What other company said? `` | :02:11. | :02:26. | |
have the. The company has released a statement. "All operations and work | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
at the plant have been suspended. We are working with the relevant | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
authorities to investigate and fully understand the circumstances of this | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
tragic incident. Our thoughts are with the contractor's family and | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
friends." The Health and Safety Executive is currently | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
investigating, as are Humberside Police. As well as being tragic, | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
this is another big blow to the company which has been going through | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
a very difficult period. Like many houses here it sustained serious | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
damage during Decembers tidal and repairs still aren't complete, | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
and it was those repairs that this man was working on when he was | :02:54. | :03:10. | |
killed. Thank you very much. In a moment. Worries shellfishing off the | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Lincolnshire coast could be damaged by a new wind farm. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
There is massive impact from these works and we need to know our | :03:20. | :03:29. | |
industry will be able to continue. Hull could get 'priceless publicity' | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
and millions of pounds of extra business after the football team | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
qualified for European competition for the first time in their history, | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
as FA Cup finalists Hull City have earned their place because Arsenal | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
have qualified for the Champions League. Our sports reporter Simon | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Clark has been finding out what European football will mean for the | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
city. It's now required reading and today | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
football fans in Hull are pouring over the Atlas knowing their dreams | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
of playing in Europe have been realised. Hull City will blossom | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
into the Europa League thanks to their progress in the FA Cup and | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
opponents Arsenal's qualification for the Champions League. There is a | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
sense of disbelief from even the most optimistic of die`hard fans. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
Those chats you have when you say, would you rather win the cup or be | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
in Europe. I really didn't think the second would happen. It is good for | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the city. More people coming in. City of culture. Which team would | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
like to see most of all? Spanish teams really. Valencia, Sevilla. | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
Just any decent team. So what is it worth to club and city? Based on | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
last season's figures each round earns you a minimum of 100,000 | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
euros, plus a share of television revenue. The winners Chelsea took 5 | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
euros million in prize`money and when other revenues come into play | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
pocketed 11 million. And with an attractive draw the economy could | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
earn upwards of ?2 million in visitor revenue. But economist and | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Tigers fan Michael Nolan says that figure will only be realised with a | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
decent draw. The type of teams that we might get could vary quite a lot | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
in terms of both their size in terms of their fan base, also the | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
distances involved and indeed the nature of travel and how they would | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
possibly choose to visit Hull. Ten years ago Hull City were being | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
promoted from the bottom division of English football and in that season | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
they played Boston United, Lincoln City and Scunthorpe United. Next | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
season they could be playing teams on Bilbao, Lyon or even Athens and | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Hull in the East Riding is set to benefit. | :05:42. | :06:05. | |
Sumner news `` some more news. Lincolnshire Health Trust have | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
introduced parking charges for disabled drivers for the first time. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Blue badge holders will now have to pay a flat fee of ?1.50 to park at | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
their hospitals. Other parking charges have also been increased by | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
around 10%. Also the Trust has agreed that certain patients such as | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
those having regular treatment for cancer and adults accompanying | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
children having emergency treatment will be exempt. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Roger Helmer, who represents Lincolnshire as a UKIP member of the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
European Parliament, is to stand for election as an MP at Westminster. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
He's been announced as UKIP's candidate in the Newark by`election. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Hull's city of culture team says it will give work to Hull`based firms, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
despite criticism it's using a London`based recruitment firm to | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
fill its three top jobs. Hull City Council is paying a national company | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
?60,000 to find it a chair, a programme director and a chief | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
executive. But some Hull`based businesses are angry that no | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
recruitment companies in the city were asked to tender for the | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
contract. Once again Hull City Council has not | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
had faith in their local businesses. The people who pay the rates. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
They've taken the money out of the town and giving it to a London based | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
agency. We are more than capable of doing that. Is this going to be the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
case for every single thing that happens now with the 2017 city of | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
culture? To get the top people we were told you need a top agency. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
They have linked into people who know people as well as people on | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
their books, and of course a lot of the art world, the leading figures. | :07:19. | :07:33. | |
They tend to revolve around London. You might have a view on this story. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Should more have been done to try and use companies in the area to | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
fill this role? You can contact us on the | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
following. They are two of the most important | :07:47. | :08:06. | |
industries off our East Coast ` fishing and offshore wind. But | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
concerns are being raised about how they can work together. Plans have | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
now been unveiled for the latest wind farm off the East Coast. It | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
will cover nearly 30 square miles in the Lincolnshire Wash. But as our | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Business Correspondent Paul Murphy reports, there are already fears | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
about its potential impact on one of the UK's most important areas for | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
shellfish. Hundreds of wind turbines have | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
already been installed off the East Coast and there are many more on the | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
way. The latest is in the wash, and those plans are now being shared | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
with local communities. 90 turbines linked by a cable to an onshore | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
substation, and the promise of local jobs. What we have seen in other | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
wind farm developments is that there are significant opportunities for | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
the local and regional businesses. If we look at London whrere we | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
recently built on the Thames Estuary, we have seen over 1000 | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
people engaged in the construction of that project. But the turbine | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
field will need to exist alongside another important local industry, | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
shellfish. It's thought to be worth around ?35 million a year for the | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
local economy. Cockles, mussels, shrimp and crab. It is one of the | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
biggest fishing areas of its kind in Europe. But the fishermen are | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
worried. If we have got to fish less, if we have got to to turn | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
round and give ground, if we are hampered and stop going to our | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
normal historic fishing grounds, then we need some form of recompense | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
to cover those losses. The fishermen's fears are that laying | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
cable and driving turbines into the sea bed could destroy the shellfish | :09:47. | :09:55. | |
habitat. You're now going to put pylons on. What's going to happen? | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Trawlermen here are already involved in a bitter legal dispute with | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
another wind turbine company over alleged damage to their fishing | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
grounds. These two industries seem a long way off from being able to work | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
together. But the developers say they want to work with the shellfish | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
industry. We are already right now building one wind farm off the east | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Yorkshire coast, so we've already been engaging with fishermen further | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
north. We know how important it is to find a way of working together to | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
find solutions that work for us and work for the fishing industry. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Installation work begins next year. Perhaps this is a real test of | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
whether these two important industries can actually work | :10:41. | :10:53. | |
together. Vital for our part of the world. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Should there be more protection for fishermen in the area orders the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
wind industry need freedom to develop? You can e`mail us and text | :11:02. | :11:13. | |
us. Still ahead tonight: World War II veterans from Hull bring home a | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
Flame of Liberation from Holland. And we've got some essential | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
information for Hull City fans considering following their team | :11:21. | :11:35. | |
into Europe. Neil Nicklin took this yesterday at | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
Blue Bell Woods near North Cave. A lovely picture. Another photograph | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
tomorrow night. I hope you have a good weekend. `` had. I heard about | :11:58. | :12:17. | |
all of the rain. Anyway there are rumours on Twitter that you got | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
married? Tomorrow is a bright start. It will turn showery from the west. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
You can see this weather fronts here. Later in the day but certainly | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
the morning looks OK but we are looking at a downward trend with | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
increasingly unsettled weather over the coming days. It has been another | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
lovely day, temperatures around 16 degrees. One or two showers have | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
been triggered. You can see the clouds on the pictures here. One or | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
two showers in the next few hours, with sunny intervals in between. We | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
have rain in Ireland at the moment which could push eastwards. 10 | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
Celsius is 50 Fahrenheit which will be the top temperature tonight. The | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
sun will rise in the morning. Mostly dry and bright start to Wednesday | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
when some sunshine. There will be one or two showers but the morning | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
is not too bad. Clouds will increase an afternoon will turn showery. | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
Showers pushing in on a stiffening south`west wind. Those temperatures | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
as taking a bit of a head, a couple of degrees down on where there have | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
been, with top temperatures of 14 degrees across the east riding. So, | :13:45. | :13:56. | |
Thursday. We will see some outbreaks of rain spreading north easterly. | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Friday has some heavy, perhaps thundery showers developing and | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
Saturday will be rainy again. It turns increasingly unsettled over | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
the next few days. Jim is watching the show in Spain tonight. Even I | :14:18. | :14:29. | |
can forecast there. See you tomorrow. | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
World War II veterans from Hull will return from the Netherlands this | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
week carrying a special flame, which commemorates the country's | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
liberation. The flame is lit every year to mark the anniversary of when | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
Germany surrendered in Holland. Members of the Normandy Veterans' | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Association were presented with the Flame of Liberation at the weekend | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
in Holland. It's usually sent to communities across the country, but | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
this year for the first time, it will also be carried back to the UK. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Gemma Dawson has been following the veterans and sent this report. | :14:59. | :15:18. | |
Remembering those they lost, here in the land they helped to liberate. | :15:19. | :15:31. | |
Very emotional. Thinking about the lives were lost. Laying a wreath | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
here, thinking about the airmen who drowned. British and Allied troops | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
arrived in the Netherlands in 1944 ` after four years of German | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
occupation. It was so hard to dry the Germans out of Holland and it | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
was a long hard battle, and during that time the Dutch people didn't | :15:53. | :16:05. | |
have any food. `` drive. They were starving. Now almost 70 years on, | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
thousands turned up to welcome the veterans back ` walking side by side | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
in a silent march through the streets of Wageningen. Later, the | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
Chairman of the National Committee of Commemoration told me people here | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
want to thank them for their efforts. Over the years people in | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
the Netherlands and other countries realise that it is important what | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
veterans have done. You have to honour them and that is happening | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
now. I'm very happy about that. Every year, to mark the day when | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
Germany surrendered in Holland, a flame is lit here. At this ceremony | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
the veterans have received a special torch lit by the flame of | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
liberation. It is a symbol of freedom which the veterans say is | :16:52. | :17:03. | |
priceless. He is going to take the fire, take the torch, keep it | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
burning. And marching. It's quite a unique feeling. I can't say any | :17:09. | :17:18. | |
more. They're still here and to come to our commemoration is an honour | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
for us. For us it is special, but always within the Netherlands and | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
for the first time that is getting back to England. As communities from | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
across the Netherlands collect the flame and head home, the veterans | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
too will return to Hull where the flame will be welcomed on Thursday. | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
Five months after it was badly damaged by flooding, the Boston | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Stump Tower has re`opened to the public. The well known landmark was | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
damaged by the December tidal surge. Church officials say other repair | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
work to parts of St Botolph's could take another 18 months. Simon Spark | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
has more. Setting up shop again for the first | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
time since the floods of December last year. It is a long recovery for | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
the iconic landmark but now with the shop reopened things are starting to | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
get back to normal. We are happy to be up and running again after a long | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
time. It has been a long five mums with a lot of hard work. There's a | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
lot of work to do and it is expensive. As churches go this is an | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
attractive church. With a tower reopened people can witness the | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
breathtaking views across Boston and of course the river that cause so | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
much devastation just five months ago. It couldn't have looked more | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
tranquil today but compare this with the scenes of December the 5th. It | :18:57. | :19:06. | |
was devastating for people to see and just the volume of water that | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
came through. People worked so hard on the building year ensuring it is | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
maintained in a way that it helps the community. When things happen | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
like that it is about the town. There is still a lot of work to do | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
including the electrics, the entire heating system and replacing the | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
platforms. All that could take another 18 months. | :19:34. | :19:45. | |
Police are now treating a fire at a recycling plant in East Yorkshire as | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
arson. A joint investigation has begun between the police and the | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Fire Service to find out how the plant burnt to the ground at Saltend | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
on Sunday. Firefighters have been using heavy lifting machinery to | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
clear debris, which is still smouldering. | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
At the moment we can't determine what the cause of the fire is so we | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
are classing it as arson. We have a joint investigation between the | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
police and the fire brigade and that is ongoing at the moment. So we are | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
appealing for anyone in the area at the time to come forward. There is a | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
lot of public highways at the back where people might be walking their | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
dogs. We are asking them to come forward if they were in the area. | :20:21. | :20:30. | |
Sun News just coming in. Firefighters are trying to control a | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
fire at a recycling plant. They were called at 6pm to a building. We will | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
let you know on that one. A young choir from Lincolnshire narrowly | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
missed out in the final of Songs of Praise's School Choir of the Year. | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
The students from Lincoln Minster School made it to the final six and | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
got positive comments from the celebrity judges, including Gareth | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Malone. These students from this cruel got | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
to the final six of the contest and got positive comments from this | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
levity judgments `` celebrity judges. Scunthorpe United are | :21:17. | :21:26. | |
preparing for a bus tour of the town to celebrate their promotion to | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
League One. The tour starts tomorrow evening from 5.30pm at Glanford | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
Park. The bus will drive along Scotter Road, Moorwell Road, | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
Messingham Road, Ashby Road, Oswald Road and Frodingham Road ` before | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
travelling to Normanby Hall for a civic reception with the Mayor at | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
6.30pm. It starts off at 5pm here when we | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
