Now it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
A gas drilling company in East Yorkshire is taking legal | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
advice after protesters built a barricade across | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Anti`fracking campaigners claim the controversial gas extraction | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
But the firm which runs the site near Walkington isn't frackhng there | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Here's our Environment Correspondent Paul Murphy. | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
Even though no fracking is taking place here, | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
protesters who suspect it whll have barricaded the site entrance | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
The protest is now in its seventh week. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Oil and gas exploration is an inherently risky business, | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
and hydraulic fracturing is that taken to a desperate extremd. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
This is the process they're worried about. | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Fracking involves drilling down and creating tiny explosions to | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
shatter and crack hard shald rocks to release the gas inside. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at hhgh | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
pressure, which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
But there are concerns that harmful chemicals can sometimes esc`pe | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
and find their way into drinking water sources. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
At the heart of the debate about what's really going on here is | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
a small paragraph in the drhlling company's licence to operatd. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
It's got permission for somdthing called a mini fall`off test. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Essentially, this is a way of establishing whether | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
the rock beneath my feet is capable of being hydraulically fractured. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
The company insists that test is only to gather information, | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
We are an exploration company. Explorers explore. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
We have spent a great deal of time, resource and intellectual thought | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
to design these wells and take them to the depths that we | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
think will give us the maxilum possible amount of informathon. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
That site is about the one site in East Yorkshire you can | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
absolutely guarantee will ndver have fracking from it, because it's | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
They might as well protest outside the pylons down the road, | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
because they've got about as much to do with fracking as that site does. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
But Walkington resident Peter Rollinson, who's | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
a former oil industry enginder, says he needs more reassurance. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Rathlin have put themselves on the line. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
They've stated categoricallx many times that they will not fr`ck | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
at Crawberry Hill, but we have to ask, why havd they | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
I believe they are laying the ground for somebody elsd to come | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
in and possibly frack this site at some point in the future. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
As Rathlin Energy seeks legal advice, the protesters | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
say they are more determined than ever not to be moved. | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
There has been a serious cr`sh this evening in Louth in Lincolnshire. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
East Midlands Ambulance Service says six people sustained injurids | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
in the accident on Crowtree Lane, with two taken to | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Police are asking for the public's help to trace | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
a missing 12`year`old boy from Lincoln. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Niks Patmalnieks was last sden between around 6 and 7 | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Police say they're concerned for his welfare and have asked | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
anyone with information to contact them or his family. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Yorkshire ambulance staff h`ve voted for further strike action | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
in their long running dispute over changes to shift patterns. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
Members of Unite union are opposing longer shifts and, in some cases, | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
some staff having to work more than ten hours without a meal brdak. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
They're also against greater responsibilhties | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
The strikes will take place next weekend. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
A road in Scunthorpe has bedn reopened, three days after ` broken | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
One man was trapped and had to be rescued when it happened on Tuesday. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Ashby Road has now reopened, but temporary traffic lights are | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
A driver from Lincolnshire says he c`n prove | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
he was wrongly given a parkhng ticket using his own CCTV footage. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Ron Best received the ticket for leaving his car on a street | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
in Horncastle for more than two hours, in a one`hour bay. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
But he says he moved his car during that time and has | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Well, this is vehicle CCTV footage from my car. | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
The footage that Ron says proves he doesn't deserve a parking thcket. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
He told me this was filmed in his car on the morning | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
But at the same time, officials claim it had been parked | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
up here in Horncastle for more than two hours in a one`hour space. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
I'm just annoyed really, because it is just unnecess`ry. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
I can't see why I got it, and obviously, I've got some proof that | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
I wasn't there, and a lot of people probably wouldn't have that proof. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Ron runs this CCTV shop in the town, and that's why he's got a c`mera | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
like this in his car, and the footage | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
On that morning, Ron claims he parked up near his | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
When he returned, just before 1 , he left his car further up | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
North Street in a one`hour space, facing the opposite direction. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
But Ron's received a letter from Lincolnshire County Cotncil, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
which claims a parking warddn measured his tyre valves | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
and they didn't move between 8:53 and 11:03, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
and that's why he got a parking ticket. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Why don't you just show the council your CCTV footage? | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
It's slightly difficult, because you've actually got to have | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
I have actually suggested that they come round and have a look `t it. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
It's not really that easy to view without the softward. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
In a statement, Lincolnshire County Council says: | :05:48. | :06:04. | |
The procedure before the trhbunal is simple and straightforward. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Every time my wife gets a p`rking ticket, I send one of my yotng | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Back in Horncastle, Ron says he's prepared to go to | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Time for the weather now with Kay Crewdson. | :06:18. | :06:31. | |
As we go through tomorrow, ht is going to be a cloudy and in places | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
damp start to the day, but ht should gradually brighten from the north. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
You can see on the pressure chart, this weather system that brought us | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
all the rain today eventually clears, and actually, Sundax, | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
certainly further towards the west you are, a mostly fine day. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
So, an improving picture through the weekend. | :06:51. | :06:51. | |
Overnight tonight, though, we start to see that rain bdcoming | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
a little more fragmented, a little bit lighter and patchier. | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
Temperatures will be down to around 11 degrees, 52 Fahrenheit. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Tomorrow, it looks like we're going to have | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Outbreaks of rain continue, but they will start to sink to the south | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Skies start to brighten from the North with some sunny | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Top temperatures tomorrow of around 16 degrees, 61 Fahrenheit. | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
Look North is back tomorrow evening after 7 o'clock. Goodnight. | :07:23. | :07:33. | |
move towards Sunday. The top temperature again 20. Fewer showers. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Most out towards the east. That's the way it is looking. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Good evening. For some the weather put on a show today - lightning and | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
hail. For others more of a no-show. Showers at Wimbledon stayed away. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
They were further west. Torrential downpours with the lightning flashes | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
over East Anglia. Local flooding in for folk. Showers through | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
Glastonbury. Thunder storms over Mid Wales | :08:06. | :08:07. |
