20 degrees. We need to keep a close eye on development is over the next | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
couple of days. grieving family asking British | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
officers to investigate the death of their son in Kenyan police custody. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
We are calling for what any other family would call for, which is | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
justice. Merge into Hull or stay in east Yorkshire, the choice facing | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
people in part of the East Riding. They lost the match but could Hull | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
still end up as winners after the FA Cup final? | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
Imagine the global coverage the FA Cup got and the profile that's given | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
the city, it's been amazing. And tonight, the gardeners looking | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
for gold at the world's most famous Flower Show. It's been another | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
beautiful day but what about the rest of the week? Join me for all | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
the details. Good evening. Two years ago Alex | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Monson died after being taken into police custody in Kenya. Today, his | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
sister and father, who is a Lincolnshire Lord, took a petition | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
to the Kenyan Embassy to urge authorities to allow British | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
detectives to investigate. Alex died after a blow to the head. A report | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
by Kenyan detectives cleared local police of any involvement. Now his | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
family want the Metropolitan Police to be allowed to open their own | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
inquiry. Caroline Bilton reports. He died two years ago in police | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
custody in Kenya. Today, Alex Monson's family took their quest for | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
answers to the Kenyan Embassy in London. It felt like two years was a | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
long enough time to have waited and that we would start coming in person | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
to ask for personal assurance that something was being done. We just | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
hoped by reaching out to the Kenyan High Commission as Kenya's | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
representatives here in the UK that they might help us. Alex Monson was | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
a son of the Lincolnshire peer Lord Monson. He had been living here in | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
Kenya since 2009. 28`year`old Alex was arrested on drugs charges on | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
18th May, 2012. In the early hours of the 19th friends visited him in | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
jail reporting that he was both jovial and normal. By 9. 9.30 that | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
morning investigators say officers realised he hadn't woken up and | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
breathing heavily. By 5. 10 he was dead. The family believe the police | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
have questions to answer. Alexander entered the police station as a | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
healthy man and he came out in a coma. He was with police the entire | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
time. From when he was healthy to when he was dead. A investigation by | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Kenyan authorities have ruled out police involvement. The family are | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
today calling for the Kenyan Government to allow Scotland Yard to | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
investigate. We are calling for what any other family would call for, | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
which is justice and we are seeking a prosecution of those responsible. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
In a statement the Foreign Office says: | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
His death remains a mystery but his family say they won't give up their | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
fight for answers. Of course we will follow the story | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
if there are any developments. In a moment the BBC team that's | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
transformed the home and the life of a seriously ill girl from Spalding. | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
People living in areas of east Yorkshire will be asked to vote in | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
September over whether they want to become part of Hull. East Riding of | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Yorkshire council will get the views of people living near the boundary | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
in a special poll later this year. In a moment we will hear from the | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
leader of East Riding Council, but first this report. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Hull is a city steeped in maritime history. Last year it won the title | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
for UK City of Culture for 2017. The city needs to grow and Hull City | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Council has a plan, to expand the city's boundaries in to what is now | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
the East Riding. This September people living in communities near | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
Hull's existing boundary, will all get a chance to vote on these two | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
questions: Do they want to remain in the East Riding? Or be part of | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Hull's expansion? And, do they want to keep the so`called green space in | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
between? There's been no significant changes since 1996 when the | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
boundaries were last redrawn and Humberside County Council was | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
abolished. Neither council has the power to redraw the boundaries. It | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
will be used to gauge local opinion and any eventual changes would be | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
made by the Secretary of State. We are asking for your thoughts on | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
this in a moment, first I spoke with the leader of East Riding Council | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
and asked him was the concern about Hull taking over or was it snobbery? | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
I don't think it's anything to do with snobbery. We get on well with | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
the city council, they get on well with us. It's about identity. Is it | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas? I think it pretty much is | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
actually. I am pretty sure the vote will be overwhelming but we need to | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
prove that and need to ask people. Why do you need to prove it? We need | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
to demonstrate this is a waste of time and effort on behalf of the | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
city council and that actually the public don't want it so we need to | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
prove that beyond doubt. Hull City council would say they are | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
disadvantaged by not having leafy suburbs like other cities, do you | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
agree with that? No, I don't actually. If you look at statistics, | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
they're no different to many cities throughout the country. It's a | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
non`argument, frankly. You are just trying to lance the boil and get it | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
down on paper that we don't want to be part of Hull, that's what you are | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
trying to do? Let's get it over with and celebrate all the great things | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
happening in the city and the East Riding and move on. So you want the | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
city to be down the road so you can come and use the waterfront and | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
theatres and stuff like that but you don't want to be part of it? No, | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
they can come and use ` come to East Riding and the Spa in Bridlington. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
We welcome people. We are not building brick walls around it. We | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
want people to live in. If you lived in Cottingham say, what would you | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
vote? I would be voting to stay exactly as we are, as we have done | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
for send trees and that's the best place to be `` centuries. Are you | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
sure it's not snobbery? Absolutely, yeah. There's no snobbery about me, | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
I am sure you would agree with that and I don't think it is on behalf of | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
other residents. OK, good to have you on the programme. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
There we are, the leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. We want | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
to hear from you. Do you agree with the Councillor that it's not | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
snobbery? The vote is in September. Let me know if you are voting | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
especially in one of the boundary areas. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
We look forward to hearing from you. And we will have some of your | :07:46. | :08:08. | |
stories and thoughts before we finish tonight. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Some more news. Firefighters from Lincolnshire have flown to Sarajevo | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
to help victims of severe flooding. It's part of the UK contribution to | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
efforts. A national emergency has been declared after the floods | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
caused thousands of people to be moved out of their homes. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
A Hull school which has been earmarked for closure will be used | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
for adult education. It opened in 2003 but was placed in special | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
measures three times. Hull City council says the site will remain | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
open for current year ten pupils until 2015 so that they can complete | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
their GCSEs. It was a match beamed to more than | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
100 countries and seen by an estimated 500 million people around | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
the world. Hull City's first ever FA Cup final ended in defeat to Arsenal | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
on Saturday at Wembley but it's hoped there will be long`term | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
benefits to the area. Leanne Brown reports on the impact of Hull's | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
exposure on the world stage. The game may be over, but flags are | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
still flying in Hull as the legacy of the FA Cup final continues. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
It's been absolutely amazing. You can imagine the global coverage that | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
the FA Cup got and the profile that has given the city, even after | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
Saturday a lot of the Arsenal supporters were saying they must go | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
to Hull for things other than football. Hopefully that will be | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
people coming up at weekends, during the week for city breaks. This is | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
about really getting Hull on the map as a destination. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
A dedicated team went to Wembley at the weekend to promote the city to | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
anyone who would listen. We brought our iconic white phone boxes, some | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
dancers. The feedback has been positive. Over the last six months | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
we have had so much good news that the people of Hull feel it's our | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
time. This map shows activity on Twitter over the weekend. People | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
were talking about the FA Cup in places as far away as Malaysia, | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Africa, and America. When you get it on the type of scale that you get | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
for something like the FA Cup final, the power of it is phenomenal, it's | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
so many people talking about it. It's demonstrated previously in the | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
City of Culture bid and demonstrated again around the FA Cup as well. | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Even in London today at the Chelsea Flower Show people were still | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
talking about it. I believe in Hull. But I am an Arsenal fan. I realise | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
the people there have passion. They've got drive and determination. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Lots of Chelsea fans were rooting for Hull because they didn't want | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Arsenal to win. We were rooting for them as a Stoke`on`Trent team | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
associated with Hull because we lost out a few years ago. We wanted you | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
to win. So although the match ended in defeat, it's looking like Hull | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
has won in many other ways. We saw pictures there of the Chelsea | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Flower Show. We will be live there later in the programme. Still ahead: | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
The gardeners looking for gold at the world's most famous Flower Show. | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
And early joy turned to FA Cup despair but Hull City left Wembley | :11:27. | :11:36. | |
with their heads held high. Tonight the BBC programme D IY | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
spores SOS features `` SOS features a family from Spalding. | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
The family home wasn't wheelchair friendly. Now thanks to the team | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
from the BBC the future for Dakota is much brighter. For Paula and her | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
daughter every day was a struggle. The family bungalow near Spalding | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
wasn't suitable for Dakota's needs but major building work was out of | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
their price range. She was given a life expectancy of 15 years. But we | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
were told that if we could keep her mobile then we had the potential of | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
adding another 21 years on to her life expectancy. As a mother, what | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
else do you want more than that? The family was put forward for the BBC's | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
D IY SOS. Weeks later an army of builders turned up. You have to be | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
able to move everything out of the house, move yourself out. We have a | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
lot of animals here. We had to find places for them to be homed. It was | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
a marathon task. The ambitious makeover was far from simple. Just | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
as the crew arrived on site, temperatures dropped well below | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
freezing. The whole project hung in the balance. It's minus four around | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
here which means that the concrete won't go off, plaster won't go off, | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
mortar won't go off. We have bricks delivered today. A bit of a worry. | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
With nine days to finish the job, builders battled some of the worst | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
weather in years. And conscious that this could make a huge difference | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
for Paula's family. This, in terms of Dakota's life is absolutely a | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
life`saver. There's no question. Could the team beat the British | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
weather? And would the family's new home be everything they had hoped | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
for? Well, you will have to tune in tonight to find out. | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
We look forward to seeing the transformation. It's on BBC1 | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
tonight. That's at 9.00pm. We will tune in later on. Good | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
evening young man. What a beautiful day again. Yes, you open read it! | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
No, you make it. Did you enjoy it at Wembley? Yes. | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
You now know what a football is. It's not a bad one, although it's a | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
deteriorating picture over the next few days. Tomorrow perhaps a grey | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
start. Sunny spells, a few thunder storms breaking out. An unsettled | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
looking chart. The storms will be quite well`scattered. Still a good | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
deal of fine weather on offer. All the storms have been to the west of | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
us today. We have had a beautiful day. 24C. Just a chance of an | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
isolated thundery downpour tonight but hit and miss. Many of us will | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
stay dry. Low cloud and mistiness for the east Yorkshire coastline | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
moving inland with lowest temperatures. Another mild one. | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
The sun will rise in the morning. Some of us waking up to a different | :15:07. | :15:17. | |
start. A grey start especially across parts of east Yorkshire, | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
mistiness and the odd shower from the overnight period but skies will | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
brighten and we will see sunny spells developing but there you can | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
see a risk of scattered thunderstorms. A few of them again | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
pushing up the western side but some later tomorrow may push across | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
central parts of east Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Top temperatures, | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
along the coast temperatures lower at 17C. Inland 22C possibly. A tee | :15:46. | :15:54. | |
gree or so down on values over `` a degree or so down on values over the | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
weekend. Wednesday, it turns much cooler and wetter through Thursday. | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
That's the forecast. My tweet was, he may have written | :16:02. | :16:16. | |
five books but most are in the charity book shop! Along with John | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
Kettle's! See you tomorrow. More than 150,000 people will go through | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
the gates of the Chelsea flour this week. It's an international `` | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
Chelsea Flower Show this week. It's an international stage for gardeners | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
to showcase skills and build their businesses. The Queen is there this | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
evening. Amanda White got there first. | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
It's the greatest celebration of our British love affair with our | :16:49. | :16:58. | |
gardens. Chelsea is for the best of the best. Much of it grown in | :16:59. | :17:11. | |
Lincolnshire. A new daffodil for a young Prince. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
This is a good flower. It's a garden variety. We have grown it on | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
specifically to use in gardens and that's what it's for. This part of | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
the pavilion is little Lincolnshire. They're going to have to rename it. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
It's impressive at how much variety from that part of Britain. | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
Lincolnshire is everywhere. En Victorian violas from Lincoln. | :17:37. | :17:50. | |
Lincoln firecracker, it's a lovely two`tone orange. | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
So much here at Chelsea is sheer decadence but the flowers remain the | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
star. The planting here was done by a man from Cleethorpes. We started a | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
couple of weeks ago, Saturday morning, and the place was bare | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
earth. We turn up, have a look. We design with our client base and | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
budgets in mind. We could go off easily and design fantastic gardens | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
but people can't afford to have them so we design real gardens for real | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
people. In the grandpa victimian Debbie `` in the grand pavilion was | :18:31. | :18:39. | |
Debbie. Thrilled with the way the garden has turned out. Horticultural | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
and floristry don't usually come together, we are thrilled. | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
Lincolnshire really contributes to a show which will amaze and inspire in | :18:51. | :19:05. | |
equal measure. In Manchester the black and whites | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
were left a man down after Jason Crooks was sent off after the | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
half`time break. A try from Hodgson. Hull KR 38, Hull FC 24. The magic | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
weekend. Back to the FA Cup final and Hull | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
City hope that this is only the start of a long period of success. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
In July, the club will play their first game in Europe before | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
embarking on another season of Premier League football. Our sports | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
reporter Simon Clarke looks at the impact of the game on the club. | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
The eye has watched over the Tigers this year and the eyes of the world | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
have viewed press coverage which has taken Hull City to another level. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
Nobody is prouder than the club's captain from the 80s, Gareth | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Roberts. He, like all in amber, enjoyed and endured. We gave them a | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
great game. The only thing that let us down was the thing that gave the | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
advantage to Arsenal, their squad, the depth in the squad. The FA Cup | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
delivered all the pomp and circumstance before The Tigers | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
decided to rip up the script. It was something nice to look back on that, | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
not too many people have managed to achieve that. It would have felt | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
much better had we gone on to get the victory. Yorkshire hearts danced | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
as the Gunners sank to the volley of Davis. Then a little reality check. | :20:33. | :20:45. | |
And untimely Tigers injuries. I pulled my groin, unfortunately, I | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
jumped for a header and I just felt it go. Arsenal struck. | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
It's gone to the far post. Energy`sapping. It was hard coming | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
off from exhaustion. I knew we were ready for 120 minutes. You are | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
playing against a great team. Then an 11th hour dagger through the | :21:07. | :21:16. | |
heart of east Yorkshire's finest. Sick as a dog to see them lift the | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
trophy. We started off brilliantly and to lose it late on, really sort | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
of, a big disappointment. Now Steve Bruce and his players can brush off | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
defeat because Europe is on its way. The dust is settling on an epic FA | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
Cup final but for Hull City the journey doesn't end there. You see | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
on the 31st July they begin their first steps in a European football | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
competition. These are extraordinary times to be a Hull City supporter. | :21:48. | :21:57. | |
That is the football part. Our cameras have been capturing stories | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
of the weekend in Hull and also down in London as thousands of City fans | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
MUSIC Here are some of the best pictures. | :22:07. | :23:30. | |
We are proud of you! It was just fantastic, wasn't it? It | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
was made by the weather, as well. Thank you very much indeed if you | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
went there. I hope you enjoyed it. If you watched it on the TV, hope | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
you enjoyed it, as well. You sent loads of pictures, thank you very | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
much indeed for all of those. We will put them together in a | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
scrapbook on our Facebook page, thank you for thinking of us and for | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
all of the photos. If you have a story you think we should know | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
about, drop us an e`mail with the details. | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
The main national and regional headlines: AstraZeneca rejects a | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
final offer from the US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. It | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
would have been the biggest ever foreign takeover of a British firm. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
Two years after their son died in police custody in Kenya, a | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
Lincolnshire family call on Scotland Yard to step in and investigate his | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
death. Tomorrow's weather: A grey start in | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
places with low cloud, brightening up with sunny spells developing in | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
the afternoon but also the risk of thundery showers breaking out, as | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
well. Top temperatures very warm, up to 21C. East Riding wants to be part | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
of Hull, and talking about that ballot of the villages, those on the | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
boundary, a big response on this story. | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
John says another total waste of money hatched up by council r | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
councillors wishing to hide failings. How about a vote for us in | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
Hull. Louise says you are better off staying with East Riding. Paul says | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
people in East Riding are snobs, that's why they don't want to be | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
part of us. Nicky tweeted, my friend lives metres past the Cottingham | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
sign and is horrified if you say she lives in Hull. | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
Thank you for those. Thank you for watching. Have a nice evening. Look | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
after yourself. See you tomorrow night. Good night. | :25:28. | :25:53. | |
