UKIP's new councillor's celebrate as they take seats across Hull | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
I'm live in Grimsby where UKIP have taken seven out of 15 seats. | :00:16. | :00:32. | |
Today's result is a fantastic accumulation of tenures of work. | :00:33. | :00:40. | |

Flash floods, thunder and lightning. Today, the clearer about torrential | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
rain. And the team hoping to travel more than 400 mph to set a new world | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
record. And a soggy start to the bank | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
holiday weekend, but it should gradually improved. I will be back | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
later in the programme with all the details. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
UKIP is celebrating big successes in the local elections | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
after winning eight seats locally in yesterday's polls. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
In Hull they won one seat, beating one of Labour's most long | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
But their biggest gains have come in North East Lincolnshire where | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
Labour remain in overall control in Hull and Lincoln, | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
but they've now lost control of North East Lincolnshire. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Our Political Editor, Tim Iredale, is in Grimsby tonight. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
How much of a surprise is this showing by UKIP? | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
Well, I have been out on the campaign trail across Lincolnshire | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
and east Yorkshire in the past few weeks and it has been cleared, | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
speaking to voters, that they wanted to give the established parties are | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
good kicking. There will be some who say UKIP still do not have any | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
direct power in our every outcome any other words the door not | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
actually run `` in our area, in other words they do not actually run | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
any of our councils, but they certainly have their opponents | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
running scared. Meet the new kids on the block. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
UKIP's success has seen the party secure a solid power base in North | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
East Lincolnshire. I think today's result is a fantastically with `` | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
fantastic attenuation of ten years of work. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
The fruitcakes have come home! The result sees Labour dropped to 21 | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
seats on North East Lincolnshire Council. The Conservatives are down | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
to ten seats, with UKIP now boasting eight councillors on the authority. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
The Liberal Democrats have three. UKIP I think will be a temporary | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
phenomenon that will split and the divide on the council, and possibly | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
even in Europe. The interesting thing about this election is the | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
fact that the electorate has said to both main parties, a plague on both | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
your houses. For people like me, who have long | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
been Eurosceptics even before the word was invented, it confirms our | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
view that people are very disconnected from the whole process, | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
particularly the fact that Europe is seen as a distant organisation going | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
against what the British people, and in some cases the British | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
government, want. Last night saw Labour retain control | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
of Hull City Council. UKIP's share of the vote was more than 25% of the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
vote, but that only resulted in them winning a one seat from the veteran | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Labour councillor David Gemmill, who had served on the authority for 26 | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
years. What do you make to the swing `` | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
make of the swing towards UKIP version macro `` towards UKIP? | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
There is certainly a swing across the country and all edition should | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
take note. It tells you, it is a symptom of something that the public | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
are not happy with. Labour also kept control of the city | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
of Lincoln Council after gaining two Micro seats from the Conservatives. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
So, a mixture of celebration and commiseration after the local | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
elections. For some, the excitement was all too much. | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
Tim, do these results tell us anything about what we might expect | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
on Sunday when we find out the results of the European elections? | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
Yes, I managed to get some sleep first, like that last bloke, but it | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
does seem a given now that UKIP will do well in the European elections. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
The votes are counted on Sunday night. There is one crumb of comfort | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
this evening to UKIP's opponents, and that is that only one third of | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
voters turned out in yesterday's elections. That is around half of | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
that which would normally turn out in a general election. Some will say | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
that voters have not necessarily switched allegiances, they just have | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
not bothered to turn out to vote at all. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Earlier this afternoon I spoke to Victoria Ayling, I UKIP `` single | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
Michael UKIP councillor, and I asked why they had done so well in North | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
East Lincolnshire. I think it is because everyone in the country, not | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
just in Grimsby, are sick to the teeth of the three main parties | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
selling them down the river. We are fed up with the lies, the | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
same old spin, and the UKIP have common`sense policies and people who | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
want to make a difference to bring this country forward again. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
I assume you will agree that a lot of these people who voted UKIP did | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
it just to send a message. What percentage of these people will vote | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
UKIP at the next election? No, it is not just a message. They | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
realise we are forced to be reckoned with to turn this country around and | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
get our country back for our people. This is not a flash in pan. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
We are a year away from the general election, number crunching has been | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
done today, they reckon that Nigel Farage is right when he says that | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Grimsby is winnable as I UKIP seat one year from now and you will be | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the candidate. There has been no selection so I | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
cannot comment. In North East Lincolnshire UKIP got 36% of the | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
vote today. If it is you, and it is assumed it | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
will become is it awkward? Four years ago you were wondering | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
around the streets as a conservative. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Is that not confusing for people? As I say, there has been no | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
selection so I cannot comment on who the candidate is. All I can say is I | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
am interested and that is it. Grimsby has gone well, and you have | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
taken votes away from Labour. What do you think the average UKIP | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
supporter stands for, and what do they want? We know what David | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Cameron thinks, closet racists and fruitcakes. What does the average | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
person think and want? The average person wants a change | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
with the party that will change things in this country for the | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
better run to stop the downward spiral into the European Union and | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
into the clutches of professional politicians, who have let us all | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
down so much for years, whichever party it is. But David Cameron has | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
promised a referendum on Europe. He has given a cast iron guarantee. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
UKIP's work is done, we do not need them any more, do we? | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
No, David Cameron is not to be trusted. He reneged on the Lisbon | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
Treaty referendum, that did not happen. But that was different, he | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
has given a cast iron guarantee this time. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
I cast I guarantee from David Cameron or any of the main parties, | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
voters realise it is not worth the paper is written on. There is only | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
one way to get us out of Europe and to get our country back on its | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
feet, and that is to vote UKIP. Anything else is a wasted vote for | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
the same old system sucking us further into Europe. Cameron will | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
not deliver, and even if we had a referendum it would be a fudge, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
because he has said he will campaign for a yes vote. Who can trust a man | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
like that? Fast forward one year. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Will you be, Victoria Ayling, UKIP MP? Or will it be eyed UKIP MP, | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
someone else if not you, in Grimsby? There will be a UKIP MP in Grimsby, | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
I believe that. Whether it is me or someone else, purely because the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
people of Grimsby and Cleethorpes have woken up, along with many in | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
this country, that they can have a difference, they can get our country | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
back and have a party that puts them first. This has proved it. Last year | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
it proved it with council elections then. This is not a flash in the | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
pan. Thank you for your time. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
There we are, an important day, seats for UKIP in Grimsby today, and | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
we would be keen to get your thoughts on this one. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Are you surprised that the results? Why has UKIP done so well? | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Please e`mail us at the address below. | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
Give us your views on what you have heard from the local elections. As I | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
say, UKIP has done well in north`eastern indenture and also | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
Hull. Austin Mitchell there saying that UKIP are temporary phenomenon, | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
do you agree with that? Thank you for watching this Friday | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
night come in a moment of... Bringing the salmon back to East | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Yorks's rivers by leaving the lock gates open. | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
A coroner has ruled a 17`year`old boy from Lincolnshire killed | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
themselves after receiving file and threats on Facebook. Callum | :10:21. | :10:32. | |
Moody`Chapman was found dead last regatta going missing from his aunt | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
's home. In yours before he went missing he had read messages from a | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
boy on Facebook saying he would be stabbed and beaten. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
Callum Moody`Chapman was described as a happy`go`lucky boy who put his | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
family and others before himself. You would never meet another boy | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
like him. If he got into trouble at school, he would not be in trouble | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
for long because he knew how to work his charm. You know, he was... | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Unbelievable. But, one weekend last December, his life was turned upside | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
down when he read threats to stab and beat him on Facebook. | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
He was so troubled by it, a coroner decided, he killed himself. After | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
today's hearing, his mum and dad said cyber bullying had taken their | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
son's life. I would say to parents, I know you | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
do not like to be nosy and look into your child's personal accounts or | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
whatever. But you have to look out for the signs. The cyber bullying | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
that is going on at the moment, it is rife, it really is. There are | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
people out there that do it. They use Facebook as a weapon, not for | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
what it should be used, for friends and genuine chat. | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
The evidence's Callum `` the evidence Callum's family heard had | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
been harrowing. On the night he died, he came here to the harbour, | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
crying and sobbing he made two phone calls. | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
One was to his older brother, Robert, saying he had messed up his | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
life and he was sorry, and asked him to say goodbye to his niece. The | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
second was to his father, Kevin, saying, simply, dad, I love you. | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
117`year`old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons earlier this year | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
pleaded guilty to charges of assault and fences under the malicious | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
Communications act. A man has been charged with murder | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
following a shooting at Melton in East Yorks on Tuesday night. | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
30 age old Jonathan Smith from gunshot widths. 54`year`old Peter | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
Guy from Milton will appear before magistrates tomorrow morning charged | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
with his murder. A 15`year`old boy has been charged with assault and a | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
third man released on police bail. A Hull academy is rewarding GCSE | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
students who attend extra revision classes with trips to | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
a 4 star hotel for a weekend Sirius Academy, which is rated | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
as outstanding takes around 80 Academies are independently run | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
and have more control over budgets. But anti`academy campaigners have | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
described these weekends away It is a stressful time of year for | :13:13. | :13:28. | |
thousands of teenagers, and like many schools at Sirius Academy in | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
Hull they put on extra revision sessions. Your legal even further, | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
rewarding some of those attending these classes with a stay at a hotel | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
for a weekend of learning. Although the intense work we have | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
done in the exam I just threw it. You get stressed and tired, to go | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
and sit with your friends. You could do this at home with your friends, | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
could you not ration might know, at home I would not have the | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
motivation. The academy runs two of these | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
residential ploys of `` residential is every year to around 40 pupils. | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Since 2009 they have used hotels in Hull, Scarborough, York and North | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
Lincolnshire. Peace `` these days are a reward for | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
good attendance and hard work, things like queue jump passes or | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
special weekends away. Some people would say picking kids up in a hotel | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
is a waste of public money. I disagree, because we have had a | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
huge impact in terms of performance with our children being able to be | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
given that last`minute revision with the support of a qualified member of | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
staff. In 2009, 20 9% of pupils achieved | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
five a star to C grades. At figure has risen to 25% `` 65%. | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
Some argue it is an unnecessary expense. | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
It sounds like a bribe. We now have these elite schools with extra | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
finance and extra cash, and that is great for them but it does nothing | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
for an equitable system. Opening at weekends for revision and | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
these trips away costs around ?5,000 per year, and those here say it has | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
helped boost grades. Another one you may wish to comment | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
on, if you do, let me know, here are the contact details... | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
The school says it is a good way to boost grades, do you agree? | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
I look forward to hearing from you, as always. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
It is exactly 6:45pm, Friday night on BBC One. Still ahead... Hoping to | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
set a new record for the fastest motor cycle in the world. | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
It will be the first 400 mph record on two wheels, it has never been | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
done before. As Britain has not held the record since 1937, that is far | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
too long, we need that record back. If you have a picture you are proud | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
of, please send it in and we will show it next week. | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Tonight's was taken by Mike Woodcock of wooden in North Lincolnshire. | :16:19. | :16:19. | |
Like you for that. I am pleased to say you have put | :16:20. | :16:29. | |
Sunita Darren. I thought you preferred blondes! | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
That is what we always said. She is more polite and less cheeky | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
than you come anyway. Some very unsettled weather to come | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
through tomorrow, but an improvement through the bank holiday weekend. A | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
lot of uncertainty about Monday still but it does look like the | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
warmest and brightest day. Tomorrow will be thundery with | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
showers from the south. This is courtesy of this area of low | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
pressure, very unsettled weather tomorrow. It has been quite pleasant | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
today, but some showers just creeping into part of North East | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
Lincolnshire and some thunder. There is a risk anywhere of some showers | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
into this evening, diminishing across the evening. A dry night with | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
clear spells at first, more cloud later. It will not be called, | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
temperatures down around ten or 11 Celsius. `` it will not be cold. The | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
sun will rise in the morning at 4:47am setting at 9:10pm tomorrow | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
evening. We start the day with a lot of cloud | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
and we will start to see showery outbreaks of rain spreading into | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Lincolnshire. They will be heavy and persistent in | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
places, perhaps again rumble of thunder, tending to ease later in | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
the day. We could get quite wet spells at | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
times, very large puddles again, and local surface water flooding as | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
possible. Temperatures getting up to around 15 or 16 Celsius, cooler than | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
today in Hull where we got around 20. On Sunday, starting on a damp | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
zero but we should see an improvement, saw a dry day to come | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
on Sunday. Some uncertainty about the forecast on Monday, some heavy | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
showers for Lincolnshire but generally dry and bright with some | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
sunshine and feeling warm. You have changed, I used to look forward to | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
Fridays, now I look forward to Monday to Thursday. | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
There is a special treat for you because I am on Monday to Friday | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
next week, Peter. Don't tell me he has gone on holiday | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
again! No, he has gone for more weather | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
training, actually. It is a bit late for that! | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
See you later. Homeowners is `` homeowners and | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
business owners in parts of linkage today have been clearing up after | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
flash flooding. Emergency services received more than 30 calls about | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
damage caused by flooding and lightning. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Some had a lucky escape. Wednesfield community School in | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
keeping Saint James, deep in water. Here, headteachers and staff trying | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
to clear corridors after a monsoon like a storm. It was like bucket | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
after bucketload of water was pouring through the ceiling. | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
Having walked in, I was horrified to see such a depth of water in the | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
school, fast spreading. It took less than one hour for heavy | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
rain to overwhelm roads here. Emergency services to 34 columns of | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
flooding, 25 incidents attended. The road in which my partner lives | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
was flooded to about a foot deep for maybe a quarter of a mile. We | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
gritted our teeth and get the engine running and got home. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
The building behind me had its roof completely destroyed by a lightning | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
strike in what people have described to me as one heck of a storm. | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
We have been your 25 years and I have never known anything like it. | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
The house was actually shaking. My son said a lightning bolt hit the | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
aerial and there was a flash of yellow light, then the tiles on the | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
roof lifted and fell back down. Some of them fell off and some were still | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
hanging. One tenant missed the boat by | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
minutes. Another was still in the building but was unhurt. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
This is my bedroom here, that window there, all of the ceiling is all | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
collapsed over my bed. If I was lying in my bed, that would have all | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
come down on top of me. There was a massive hole just in the ceiling. It | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
is just huge, there is nothing left of it. I mean... Everything is gone. | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
Every single light socket, plug socket, lamp, everything has just | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
blown off the walls. A flash storm that made its impact | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
in minutes will take months to put right. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
Let us hope that salmon could return to the rivers of East Yorkshire. | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
The Barmby Barrage near Goole is being opened to allow the fish | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
And as our Rural Affairs Correspondent Paul Murphy reports, | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
it could also provide a boost to the local economy. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
For 40 years, these gates have protected drinking water in the | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
River Derwent from salt water in the river whose. Now there been | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
carefully opened just a few hours every day. `` River Ouse. Soon | :21:33. | :21:42. | |
someone will be able to migrate upstream into East and North Yorks. | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
The lock behind us has been opened on a four hour basis to allow the | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
animals to get up and do what they want to do in this brilliant | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
watercourse. A year or two back we opened it for an hour and within a | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
short period there were salmon spawning below Helmsley. | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
The River Derwent runs from the North York murderers don't East | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
Yorkshire and into the River Ouse. It is Yorks's largest river system | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
covering 800 square miles. `` the North York Moors. | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
It is this will add more than ?12 million to local economies. | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
The salmon is arguably the most highly prized and iconic of fishes, | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
and although it could be several years before its presences fully | :22:33. | :22:42. | |
felt on the Derwent, there is reason to believe communities along the | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
stand to benefit. The Derwent runs along the edge of | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
East Yorkshire and are sometimes overlooked, salted anglers and | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
tourists be spending more time and money there? `` so could anglers? | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
It would help if people need accommodation, camping facilities, | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
it could help. As I say, it would have to be really well promoted. | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
In other parts of the country, these highly prized fish attract quite an | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
audience. In opening its doors for business, the Derwent is hoping for | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
similar success. Garreth Carvell will be out for a | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
month because of knee surgery. The Black and Whites travel to Leeds | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
rhinos this evening for their first match after their defeat to Hull KR | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
at the weekend. Hull KR face the London Broncos on | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
Sunday. BBC Radio Humberside will have | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
commentary or both of those matches starting with the build`up of Hull | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
FC Basel micrometre. Hull KR's game is on FM and also online from 2:30pm | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
on Sunday. `` the build`up of Hull FC's game. | :23:53. | :24:03. | |
A team hoping to break the world land speed record on the fastest two | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
wheeled vehicle in the world,have been testing it near Pocklington. | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
It's hoped Jet Reaction will beat the 376 mph record later this year. | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
It may look more like a missile, but this could soon hold the title | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
of fastest motorcycle in the world. This is Jet Reaction ` | :24:20. | :24:31. | |
testing at Elvington Airfield. months away from potentially going | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
faster than anything else on two wheels in history. | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
The designers are thrust powered two wheeler, that is innovative because | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
the other contenders are using more regular means to power their | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
vehicles. The world record for two wheeled | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
vehicle stands at 376 mph, set by an American in 2010. That is the record | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
the team are hoping to smash, to break through the 400 mph barrier | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
and bring that record back to Britain for the first time since | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
before the Second World War. Parachutes, parachutes, | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
parachutes... Among the team is Phil Evans from | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
Grimsby. on two wheels in history. | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
He was part of Thrust SSC, the first car ever to break | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
the sound barrier in 1997. I was privileged to be involved by | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
Ken Hinchey 97, that was the first car to set the supersonic record, | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
and we are working to establish what will be the fourth `` first 400 mph | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
record on two wheels. As Britain has not held the record since 1937, that | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
is far too long, we need that record back. | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
the sound barrier in 1997. The bike is thrust forward thanks to | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
a modified jet engine taken from a Sea King search | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
and rescue helicopter, and fitted with an afterburner. | :25:51. | :25:51. | |
But none of this comes cheap. We are still desperately searching | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
for sponsorship because obviously defines this and go to America is a | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
struggle on a personal budget. It takes a lot to make it happen, and | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
in a way that is why when it was finally happen it is so deserved. | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
But none of this comes cheap. The team's hoping to make the record | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
breaking run at the Bonneville salt flats in Utah later this year. | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
A chance to bring home a record they say has been out | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
of British hands for too long. That looks good, doesn't it? | :26:17. | :26:31. | |
Let's have a recap of the main national and regional headlines... | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
UKIP and labour make the biggest gains in the local elections. | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
In north`east Lincolnshire, UKIP take almost half of the available | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
seats. Tomorrow's weather cloudy day with spells of rain, heavy and | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
persist, top temperature 16 Celsius in the afternoon. | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
Talking about that Hull Academy, Sirius Academy, rewarding GCSE | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
students with a trip to Waddell. A big response so far. Everyone has | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
been in favour I have read. Alison says the ends justify the | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
means. Doctor Kathy Taylor has gained outstanding by Ofsted in all | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
areas. Children should be rewarded for hard work. Jason says it is OK | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
to send young offenders on holiday so why not give kids who have done | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
well at chance for a break? This one, why not? Good luck to | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
them. Carroll says, anything to reward | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
pupils to work harder, achieving good grades should be welcomed. | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
Well done, Sirius Academy. Thank you for all of your messages | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
are not just tonight but throughout the week. Have a good and peaceful | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
weekend and the gap to yourself. See you next week, take a. Good | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
night. Let's look at the history | :27:48. | :27:57. | |
of BBC TWO with me, Simon Schama. 'Harry And Paul's | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
Story Of The 2s - part of 'the Big Bumper Bank Holiday | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
Comedy 50th Birthday Weekend.' Ted, I wondered if... | :28:07. | :28:26. | |
