all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Three men die after being taken ill on a ship at an East Yorkshire dock. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
I can hardly remember accident at all. It is surprising and | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
upsetting. It is not a regular occurrence. Police say it could be | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
weeks before we know what core the deaths of these people. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |

Three men working on board a ship in Goole Docks have now died | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Humberside Police, who are working with marine accident | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
investigators, say it could be several weeks before the actual | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Our reporter Kate Sweeting is live at the Docks for us this evening. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
We know the men were unloading a cargo of wood from this ship | :01:40. | :01:54. | |
yesterday morning when they became ill. They were taken to hospital but | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
all died. Two other members of the crew were unaffected. Police today | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
confirmed the men were taken ill. They were not injured by falling | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
cargo as was first speculated but they say it is too early to say what | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
caused the become ill until the result of postmortem examinations, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
which will be carried out in the next few days. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Searching for clues as to what killed three members | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
of this ship's crew. The men were a 60`year`old | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
from Germany and a 33 and 38`year`old from the Philippines. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
At the moment the cause of their death is unknown. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
All we know is they've been working on the ship. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
As a result of that they've taken ill and they | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
have been taken to hospital. It is early days for us to be able | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
to say what is the cause of death. For those who know the port well, | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
what happened has come as a shock. I think a lot of people will be | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
frightened and scared and want to know what has happened. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
People have worked in the docks in dangerous situations for years. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
I can hardly remember an accident at all over the years. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
It is really surprising and upsetting. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
It is sad news. I'm from Goole and all my family | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
have worked on the docks all lives. It is not a regular occurrence | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
and it is sad. In a statement, Associated British | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Ports, which runs this dock, said, we are continuing to work with | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
the relevant authorities. Our thoughts are with those affected | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
by this tragic shipboard accident. The fact is accident levels have | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
gone down, thankfully, but nevertheless, | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
despite all that work, everyone acknowledges it is a dangerous | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
environment and I suspect seafaring will always have a significant | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
element of danger and risk. The police and marine accident | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
investigation branch are now trying to establish what happened, | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
but we are told it could be weeks before we have any answers. | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
How common are accidents like this? They are rare but not unheard of and | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
figures from the health and safety executive showed 15 people in | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Yorkshire and seven in the East Midlands were killed in industrial | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
accidents in the last year. 1000 people are killed worldwide in | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
maritime accidents every year, so it can be a risky business. The aim of | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
this investigation now will to the establish what happens and also how | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
to prevent it happening again. We'll let you know if we do hear anything. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
The man travelling 200 miles in his wheelchair to help improve | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
A senior Lincolnshire MP has been told he must do more to help | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
The leader of Boston Borough Council told BBC Look North that local | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
Tory MP Mark Simmonds should "get Boston back as his priority". | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
The warning follows UKIP's success in the European elections. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
The UKIP leader Nigel Farage has earmarked Boston Skegness as one | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
of the seats the party could win in next year's general election. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
More from our Political Editor Tim Iredale. | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
Died testing `` digests the news, this woman claims her party can | :05:13. | :05:23. | |
repeat the success in the general election in just over 11 months | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
time. We will target seats and target the seeds where we have a | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
fantastic support at local level with local councillors in place. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
UKIP are targeting Grimsby currently held by Labour who is stepping down | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
next year and Boston which is represented by Conservative | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
ministers. In Boston alone, UKIP polled more than 50% of the boat in | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
the European elections. They are the only parties who will do something | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
about the problems we have got in Lincolnshire. That is with migration | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
and the way the town has been spoiled. I am not racist but there | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
are too many foreign people in this country, and in Boston. I hope they | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
don't create tensions here. We have had it already and the situation is | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
a little bit under control. As a foreign minister his work is | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
overseas, but the leader of his Conservative council says he needs | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
to reconnect with people closer to home. Mark has been doing an awful | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
lot of work in Boston but he has not been the best communicate in that | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
work. He spent a lot of time out of the country. My message to him is | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
that you need to get Boston back first as your priority. Marco wasn't | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
available for interview today. UKIP's ultimate aim is to see | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Britain leave the European Union but they know they can only achieve that | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
if they have a power base at Westminster. One of Lincolnshire's | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
MEPs was back on the campaign trail. He is UKIP's candidate in the | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
election team place next week. That'll be a test of how the world | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
of Westminster politics has changed following the events of the past few | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
days. Well you saw her there in Tim's | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
report ` and now Jane Collins, one of UKIP's newest MEPs | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
for Yorkshire and the Humber, is It all started by you sitting at | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
home on the survey shouting at the TV. Are you going to stay on the | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
sober or get out? I am going to be the eyes and ears of people. And MEP | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
on ?80,000 a year, when he don't think we should be in Europe. It is | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
strange. It is an ironic situation. You are in a job you hope you lose | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
because we want to come out of the EU. You are happy to take the | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
?80,000 salary? We don't look at it at that way. I don't think the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
voters are. We are going to represent the people that will | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
upload photos, who had a mistress of the European Union and Parliament | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
and we will represent them and do our job. But there is like David | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Cameron who have called you races in the past, how insulting is that? `` | :08:41. | :08:53. | |
racist. It is insulting. They live in a bubble. What message does | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
leaving the EU centre companies like Siemens? They would run a mile from | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
Hull. I don't agree with that comment. They said they were | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
concerned with our membership but let me make it clear. Business and | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
trade is not based on the back part of a political union. It is based on | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
supply and demand. Is Siemens wasn't yet those jobs would go and we would | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
lose it. You are saying we should be out of Europe. I am delighted for | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
the people in Hull he'll get the jobs with Siemens, but you have to | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
as yourself why they are laid out 15,000 of their own workers in | :09:39. | :09:47. | |

You work of Godfrey Bloom. Has he given you any advice on how not to | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
put your foot in it? I don't think he need to give me any advice. We | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
may find out. I don't think we can advise each other on that. I have my | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
own special way of doing things and he had his. Very good to seeing you. | :10:13. | :10:26. | |

Thousands more army reservists are needed in the next four years to | :10:52. | :10:54. | |

A recruitment drive is falling short of its ambitious targets. | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Here the 4th Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment is a third`empty with room | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
I don't think it is overly optimistic. | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
I think we need to make sure we give ourselves enough time to achieve | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
There's always a desire to do it right now | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
and we have to keep concentrating on the fact we have given ourselves a | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
target of six years to achieve that and we have to get on with it, get | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Six firefighters from Lincolnshire have rescued more than 100 people | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
from floods in Bosnia and Herzegovina. | :11:32. | :11:34. | |

Anti`windfarm campaigners in East Yorkshire say plans to build | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
12 turbines the height of the Humber Bridge will | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
industrialise the Yorkshire Wolds and damage tourism in the area. | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
This latest proposal is for a new wind farm near Driffield on land | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
In the East Riding, 16 wind farms have already been | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
approved or built, and five others are still to be decided on. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
To some wind turbines offer cheaper, cleaner energy. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
To others an eyesore invading the countryside. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
In Yorkshire, campaigners say they are already changing the skyline. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
You will be able to see this as far north as Scarborough. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
This farmland has become the latest battle ground. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
The proposed site for a new wind farm. | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
It will decimate the landscape and ruin the entire area. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
Tourism is a big thing and we need to generate more | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
Would you be happy if this was somewhere else | :12:46. | :13:06. | |
We've got plenty of wind farms and it is time to say no. | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
The plan would see 12 turbines stretch along the brow of this hill, | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
That is more than twice the height of Beverley Minster, | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
but they would produce enough energy to power nearly 13,000 homes. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
We do need to generate more electricity from renewable sources | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
and so it is a difficult exercise to try balance that but we believe | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
Highwood is one of those sites which we think can meet those targets. | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
By 2020 the government must generate 15% | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
By then it is predicted wind power will provide | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
But ministers say from 2015 they will cut support | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
for onshore wind because wind power targets will already have been met. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
The turbines at Highwood would be similar | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
Opposition in the village is growing. | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
This wind farm is effectively an industrialisation. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
We are going to get these monsters built on our doorstep. | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
Just last week plans for turbines near Burton Agnes Hall | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
were thrown out by the Secretary of State after a lengthy enquiry. | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
But supporters of wind power say it offers greater value for money. | :14:10. | :14:23. | |
It's easier to install at the top in this region. | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
We have wide open space for onshore wind power. | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
It may be a prime spot for the energy companies but tonight | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
villages here are holding an action meeting, determined, they say, | :14:34. | :14:35. | |

Met office stop some spot having a significant amounts of rain. It is | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
all down to this front which will stick around the ages. It will | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
fizzle through Thursday, so a lot of rain to come. You can see all the | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
cloud. It has brought rain. It is now starting to clear from far | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
eastern parts and spreading westwards, so a dry spell for a time | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
but further spells of rain setting in on the night. Tomorrow morning | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
will be north, so a wet and miserable day to | :16:28. | :17:01. | |
come and temperatures really suppress as a result. We should be | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
at around 70 degrees so it will feel cruel but the breeze from the North | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
east `` 17 degrees so it will feel improvement on Friday, not | :17:11. | :17:37. | |
completely dry but drier. Thank you very much. It is one thing being | :17:38. | :17:41. | |

change the countryside like can change the size I work for. Those | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
sites include here which already prides itself on taking wheelchairs | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
into account. This is one of our points. It is safe and secure and it | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
is completely accessible. Those Les Mobile appreciate the efforts but | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
say there is still much that can be done. `` less mobile. They can be a | :19:27. | :19:40. | |

and business association says it is a difficult task but landowners are | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
taking an increasing responsibility. We would encourage people to | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
consider how they can make access more easy, to all the various things | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
which disabled people can enjoy in the countryside. Roy's challenge for | :20:22. | :20:25. | |

and coach Johnny Whiteley says he's very concerned | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
about the club's away form. Hull have failed win on | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
the road this season and are not due Johnny still gave | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
his backing to coach Lee Radford. Our sports reporter Simon | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
Clark has been to meet him. He's one of Hull and rugby | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
league's most decorated stars. Even at 83, | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
Johnny Whiteley retains his youthful enthusiasm for the game he loves | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
and club who defined his career. He was at Headingley on Friday when | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Hull lost their latest game on road, You hope something happens and that | :21:12. | :21:30. | |
somebody lights of the game. Very few times this season have we really | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
got our bottoms off the seats and stood up. | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
Hull have won just five games all season and if they're not quite | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
in the relegation scrap with London and Bradford | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
The issues are not being fixed in a week. They will take a while but we | :21:43. | :21:54. | |
are doing it. That is right from the bottom. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |

commentaor and former player Craig Murdock sees grounds for optimism. | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
Lee has been left with a lot card he doesn't want and it will take him | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
time to shovel them out. He can't just buy a new side. It is a work in | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
progress. It will take a couple of years to sort out but I am certain | :22:21. | :22:35. | |
he is right for the job. It is important to find your halfbacks and | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
keep them for a run of games. They have my sympathies because it is a | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
hard job. Especially when the crowd are helping you along. | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
Due to this work at the KC, Hull who've not won away all season | :22:51. | :22:54. | |

That's what the mum of a singer from Lincolnshire says | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
after her son reached the final of Britain's Got Talent. | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
24`year`old Thomas Leak, from Donington`on`Bain near Louth, | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
is part of the musical theatre group Collabro. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Last night they won the first semi final of the ITV talent show ` | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
to keep alive their hopes of performing in front of the Queen. | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
They certainly have the luck of a boy band but it was their sound | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
which surprised the judging panel on one of the world's talent shows and | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
last night the boy band, including Thomas Leak, made it to the live | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
finals after the public voted them the best of the night. I think we | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
could be looking at the winners. We are proud. The boys are quite young | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
this is all they wanted to do. They love musical theatre. Thomas is in | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
the first person problem engage are hoping to launch his career. Matt | :24:35. | :24:46. | |
Smith from Grimsby finished runner`up and went on to release a | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
number one album. Back home, the neighbours of Thomas reminisce about | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
his performance. It was fantastic, it really was. In a nearby village | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
shop, evident music is in his jeans. His mum sings in the church choir. | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
They are a musical family. It runs in the family and they all like | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
singing. It is quite appropriate for him to be doing it. Tom learned his | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
craft here, performing on stage from the age of ten. We are very proud | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
because we promote an enormous amount of youth in this society and | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
in this theatre, and for youngsters. Tom was part of us but all of them, | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
it is wonderful they produce this quality of music. It was at this | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
theatre 12 years ago that Tom took the lead in Oliver, starting his | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
passion for musical theatre and many who watched him in the audience then | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
watching with interest now to see what he can achieve on a national | :26:00. | :26:00. | |
stage. Let's get a recap of the | :26:01. | :26:09. | |
national and regional headlines. Crucial talks in Brussels | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
as European leaders gather to work out how to respond to the shock | :26:12. | :26:14. | |

work out what caused the deaths A cloudy and wet start with | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
some heavy spells of rain. A response on the subject of UKIP. | :26:21. | :26:40. | |
Sandra says it was OK for them to give us a wake of gold but them | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
running the country would be suicidal. Another says they want to | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
cut maternity leave. Tony says, well done UKIP. The other parties didn't | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
contact my area. Smug, arrogant and lazy. Now they are not so smug. Dave | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
says Nigel Farage has said things about immigration that all other | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
parties dare not say. Join me tomorrow lunchtime. Have a good | :27:08. | :27:08. | |
