28/05/2014 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

stand firm, dismissing talk of a leadership challenge,

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

Labour spark a row after saying only a woman can replace Austin Mitchell.

It is discriminating between men and women. That is not what women want.

It is sexist. Caught at over 100 miles an hour. Calls for tougher

penalties for speeding. Some people ignore penalties. We have to make

sure they are punished to the fullest extent of the law. Also: The

couple arrested after Nancy fracking protest. And, this six`year`old

relives his big day at Wembley. More rain to come. I will be back

with the forecast. The local party say its views were ignored. The

majority said they would like to see a female selected from an open short

list. The worry is that you are restricting across other types of

people and characteristics. All`female selection led to the

so`called Blair's babes. Labour is the only party to use this system.

Figures show they do have the highest percentage of female MPs

today. Opponents to all`female candidness

argued that they don't address the real reasons why Deraa not more

women that want to `` why there are not more women that want to be MPs.

It is discriminating between men and women. That is not why women want to

be in politics anyway. There has to be some reason behind it. I have no

problems with it. I think it is a good idea. Why not? They are both

equal. So discount men is a sexist thing. Labour is standing by its

decision, saying it is increased `` it is committed to increasing the

number of women in parliament. Labour's next Parliamentary

candidate for Grimsby will be chosen in the next few months. We can

already say that it will be a woman. The former high`profile Labour MP

Aramis King was elected from an all woman short list in 1997 `` Baroness

King. I asked if it was a good move for Grimsby. I think it is important

overall that we have as many women as men going into Parliament. We are

very short of that pain. We need to change it. I do think it is a good

thing. Some are saying it is artificial and create an illusion

that there was a change when their recent. The change depends on the M

E. The candidate becoming an MP. People talking about it being

illusory. I have sat for many years in Parliament, and the fact is, only

one in five overs there are women. It depends if you want women in

politics. A Conservative MP, a female, said, I disagree with

tokenistic initiatives like Labour's all women short lists.

Shouldn't it be the best person for the job? I absolutely agree, it

should be the best person for the job, and women are quite capable of

doing that job, but the system and the institutional bias against women

locked them out. We have effectively had all male short lists for the

last 500 years. That is not fair on women. I recognise some individual

men might suffer, the same as many women suffered. I would like to see

twin constituencies, with one man and one woman. In Grimsby, you could

end up with a not so good female MP when perhaps there was affecting my

candidate. `` a better male candidate. I don't agree. That

implies there was not enough talent at that across both sexes across the

tree. There are more than enough capable women there. He getting a

lot of mediocre men, Deraa say, in parliament, nobody says a word about

it. Very good to have you on the programme.

Do you support all women short lists? Do you think it is

discrimination against men? In a moment: The rivalry between

Yorkshire and Lincolnshire been settled on a German army camp.

Tougher penalties are being demanded for drivers who are being caught

doing more than three times the speed limit.

Police have revealed that a driver was caught doing more than

90 close to a school near Boston in Lincolnshire.

Another was clocked at 113 miles per hour in a 40 zone on the A17.

The justice system only allows magistrates and judges to impose a

their own lives at risk, but putting at risk the lives of everybody

around them. On the A1 near Grantham,

with a 70 limit, And in a 40 zone on the A17

near Boston, two people were caught driving over 100,

one clocked at 113, another at 108. While in North East Lincolnshire,

one motorist was doing double the speed limit on the A18

near Grimsby, again, over 100. While it may be a 40 zone here,

this camera has recorded some of the You're always going

to have lunatics. The camera's been there a long time,

you're coming up to a level crossing and a really busy

junction, I'm surprised anyone's There should be another

camera this side, I think. Since they introduced

the 40mph speed limit, it has Just a few miles away, on this 30mph

road near a primary school, There are a minority of drivers who

are reckless, and even with the penalties we have, there are

some people ignoring them. When that happens, we have to make

sure they are punished to The man in the Porsche was fined

and banned for six months, but road safety campaigners say

there must be tougher punishments to People are getting in touch with

this already. Carroll says, should be a total driving ban for life,

there is no excuse. Ian says, with such disregard for others, it should

be a life ban. Trevor is an HGV driver and says he has a speed

limiter at 56 mph. He says, fixed speed limiter to cars.

You can go to our Facebook page. If you like our page, you can receive

regular updates. A man has appeared in court charged

with murder following a shooting in East Yorkshire. Jonathan Smith died

of gunshot wounds in Milton last Tuesday. Peter Kite was remanded to

appear in court in August. A 15`year`old boy also appeared,

charged with assault. A couple in their 60s are to go on

trial accused of causing a public disturbance at an anti`fracking

camp in East Yorkshire. John Mager,

who used to be a director at East Riding Council, and his wife Val,

an ex`teacher were arrested last Today they pleaded not guilty to

the charges against them. From Greater Manchester to a village

in West Sussex, campaigners have been protesting against the use of

the shale gas extraction method known as fracking. Protesters set up

camp at this site near Walkington in East Yorkshire. They said they

feared plans for fracking. Two weeks ago, 30 police officers were brought

in to a score to lorries onto the site. John and Valerie Mager were

arrested, accused of obstructing vehicles. In court, they pleaded not

guilty to the charge of preventing the carrying on of lawful business

at the site. The judge set a trial date here for July the 31st. The

couple have been granted unconditional bail. They left court

without making any comment. The placards carried by their supporters

gave a clear message. Thank you for watching. Still ahead:

Another picture tomorrow. Good evening. Our regular weather

forecaster is away on a course, and that happens to be in Spain. Paul

says `` Frank says, Paul doesn't do a bad job but he should be given a

permanent job and not just Keeley's standing.

He has chosen a good day to be away. There is more rain to come then a

gradual improvement through tomorrow. It is all due to this area

of low pressure. It will be more settled for Friday and the weekend.

You can see all the cloud pulling in from the North Sea. Outbreaks of

rain. It started heavy this morning. It could be heavy at times.

Tomorrow morning, heavy rain to start with. There will be further

outbreaks of rain and drizzle. It will tend to fizzle out and we may

get some sunny spells. Temperatures got up to 11 or 12 today. Across

parts of Lincolnshire, it could get up to 15 or 16 degrees. After the

rain fizzles out, more settled conditions for Friday and the

weekend. It would be completely dry. There might be a few showers around.

Hopefully, there will be some sunshine.

I thought there was a lot of arm on display, but I had better be nice to

you. Wattage hole and?

I have to be nice to you if I want to get an invite to the barbecue.

The historic rivalry between Yorkshire and Lincolnshire is being

settled on an army camp in Germany. Reserve soldiers have been teamed up

with soldiers from Lancashire, part of the reorganisation of the Army.

On an army base in Germany in a tin shed, there is a great tent. It is

hot and cramped, but it is he is here that battles are planned,

side`by`side. It is how the modern army will work in the future. The

regulars and reserve will become a singular, integrated force. The

reserves come and provide a supporting element. There is no

pretence one way or the other. This isn't the first time soldiers from

Yorkshire and Lancashire have worked closely together. On the first day

of the bottom of the Somme in France, men from both sides of the

Pennines died fighting shoulder to shoulder. You could say the War of

the Roses has been mentioned a few times. In the sergeant's mess, when

training is done, the revelry takes place. We were assured that

Yorkshire had a resounding victory. Despite the fact they are from the

wrong side of the border, they are a good set of guys and we have got on

well. The mystery of defence is increasing the number of reserves to

compensate for redundancies in the regular army. That is controversial.

Some people believe spare time soldiers can never be as good. It is

not about being as good, it is about being good enough. We have to make

sure they are competent and can fit in. This was the first joint

training exercise. It will set the standard for the future of the

British Army. Plenty of response following our

interview with UKIP member. They are targeting at least two local seats

in next year's general election. Thank you for the messages.

The Conservative MP for Boston and Skegness, Mark Simmonds,

is fighting back against complaints that he doesn't spend enough time

UKIP won half of the votes in his area

in last week's euro elections, and will target the seat to try to get

Fellow Conservatives are warning Mr Simmonds he will have to work

hard in the area if he wants to get re`elected.

Her Successful maximums. e,

seat in the 2010 General Election, with nearly 50% of the votes.

But four years on, are people in Boston still impressed

He has been good to us personally. He should be representing Boston

instead of gallivanting around the world.

As a foreign office minister, much of Mark Simmonds' work is overseas.

But just yesterday, the leader of his local Conservative

council told Look North he needs to reconnect with people back home.

Mark has been continuing to do a lot of work. He hasn't been the best at

communicating that work. My message is, get Boston back is your

priority. More than 50% of people who voted here in Boston in the

European election that UKIP. Now the party is planning to target this

seat in next year's general election. So maximums could have to

fight to remain MP here. I asked Mark Simmonds if he was

worried about losing his seat at the general election.

Of course I was disappointed with the results of the elections last

week. The conservative vote held up reasonably well. It was the same

across the rest of the country. Of course more work needs to be done.

The government has had to take difficult decisions, to reset the

economy after the shambles we inherited. Is being a Foreign Office

minister advantage it `` an advantage to your career but a

disadvantage to the Boston in Skegness area? I am a committed

member of Parliament as was a committed government minister. I am

proud to be the first MP to be elected to Boston who has ever been

a government minister. I'm very much hope it will continue. Your own

leader of the Council says, get Boston back as your priority. Is it

fair? Of course there will be exchanges of thought. I have been a

committed MP since I was first elected. I am delighted and proud to

be a government minister, and I will continue to represent my

constituency and country as long as people want me to do so. Looking at

these messages, they do not end you are visible enough. Well, I live in

the constituency. I am here every weekend. I have a large

constituency. I do what I can in the context of my ministerial

responsibilities. I hope everyone will continue to support me. Another

message, I would like to see UKIP represent is because the main

parties are ignoring people 's views.

You are in trouble if many people think like that. I don't share

that. The simple choice in the next election will be between putting

David Cameron in Number ten or Ed Miliband. Will you be the Boston MP

after 2015? I hope so. Thank you. There we are. If you are in Boston,

you have heard the response there, you might want to comment on that.

an incurable heart condition. Today he's been looking back

at the big day and spoke to Reliving the moment Freddie got his

wish, walking onto the Wembley pitch with Curtis Davies for the FA Cup

final is a moment he will never forget. The atmosphere was amazing.

For Freddie to do what he did was wonderful. Brilliant memory.

Six`year`old Freddie as an incurable heart condition which could end his

life at any moment. We don't know how long he's got left. Everything

that he does matters. This is just amazing. Freddie got to meet plenty

of big names, although he didn't realise it at the time. I didn't

know was him. I didn't know was Prince William. What did you think?

I was like, tell me you didn't know who that was, and he said, I just

thought it was a strange man walking by. The exposure has had an

unexpected side`effect. He thinks he's famous. People stop is all the

time, there is Freddie off the television, everywhere we go. I

mean, not everywhere, but just like prior mark. Last time we spoke to

Freddie, his biggest worry was what would be a packed lunch. Well? I

don't like the muffins you gave me. The you like anything? I liked the

Mars bar. His next adventure is riding in a speedboat. The matter

what they are doing, this family enjoys every moment they have

together. Letters hope Prince William isn't

watching. Recap of the headlines. Nick Clegg

tells his supporters to stand firm, dismissing talk of a leadership

challenge. Labour sparked a row after seeing only a woman can

replace Austin Mitchell in Grimsby. Response on the women short lists.

Julie says, I wouldn't want to be elected because I am a woman,

sectors and gone mad. Brian says, if anybody else came up with the idea

of one sex shop was, they would be accused of sexism. `` one sex short

list. Chris says, if I was a potential male Labour candidate for

Grimsby, I would put in a claim of sexual discrimination. Somebody else

says it is patronising to women. Have a good evening. Goodbye.
