First look at the morning papers on the BBC News Channel in just is a | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
few minutes too. Now Good evening. The leader of East | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Riding Council is warning Hull to back off over its plans to expand | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
the city. Stephen Parnaby says it looks like a potential hostile | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
take`over. But Hull has hit back saying it needs to expand into | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
places including Hedon, Cottingham and Hessle because its tight | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
boundaries are holding back development. Our business | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
correspondent Sarah Corker reports. The East Riding's pretty market | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
towns and green spaces encircle urban industrial Hull. City leaders | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
say it needs space to grow and want the boundaries redrawn. Now the two | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
neighbouring councils are locked in a war of words. It is a hostile | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
takeover, or a potential one, by the City Council. And there is | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
absolutely no need for it. Isn't this petty squabbling? Well, we | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
didn't start it. Um, and of course, we need to work together, and we do | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
work together. One idea Hull City Council wants to | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
consider is expanding its boundary into the East Riding. Including | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Hessle, Cottingham and Hedon. Another possibility, a single | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
authority covering the whole of East Yorkshire. There is a dearth of | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
developable industrial land in Hull. I mean, it was an issue with | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
Siemens. We have had to do a lot of work to free up sufficient land near | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
the Siemens development to make it viable. Is this a hostile takeover? | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
Or is this a land grab? Er... The East Riding have been asked to | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
take part in the commission's work. And the only answer we've had so far | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
is the Councillor Parnaby shouting at us from Beverley. It is land on | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
the outskirts of the city that is at the centre of this debate. Hull City | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Council owns this site near Hedon. And there are plans for an energy | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
park. But it is in East Riding's boundaries. And those living in | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Hedon don't want it to be swallowed up by the city. We are a separate | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
little market town here. And that is how it should be. I think the | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
services will get worse. The rubbish won't be empted as regular. I think | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
they just want us for the money. Really. But could a change help both | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
councils prosper? If you can increase the overall number of | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
employment opportunities, it is possible you could also get | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
spill`over effect. That might mean you could have benefits to both | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
sides of the boundary. Hull has now set up a commission to look at its | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
boundaries. The East Riding is holding a referendum in September. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
But ultimately, the government has the final say. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
I'm joined by the MP for Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart. Good | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
evening. Thank you for coming in. I know you disagree, but can you see | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
Hull's thinking? It is strange to go about it not inviting the east | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
riding to have a position, not consulting, which is what is | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
annoying my constituents. `` East Riding. Doing something to them, | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
rather than with them. What about boundary changes making things | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
prosper, would you just take that out? The thing is having the support | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
of the people. Steve Parnaby is right to ask the people, so there | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
will be this referendum in September and I would add my constituents in | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
the Hedon area, make your vote, you will have a choice on two things, to | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
be part of Hull and have Hull City Council providing services, and do | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
you want places like Hedon airport developed? Many people think that | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
Hull's land grab allows them to exploit the green belt, build on it | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
and is not done in the interests of the people they wish to take over. | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
Is Hull wasting their time? Setting up the way they have is | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
counter`productive. Not working with people I think will put backs up. | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
This referendum is costing ?60,000, another is costing ?40,000, ?100,000 | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
of taxpayers' money wasted? Hull City Council should have worked to | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
have a joint approach, did not do that, then this up as a land grab, | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
and I think Stephen Parnaby handled it well, seeing to give the people | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
said. Abie get the MPs together and stop the squabbling? See what the | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
people have to say. And if the people overwhelmingly vote against, | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
that will send a strong message whichever government is in power | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
before and after next May. Thank you very much. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Some other news tonight. A man has appeared in court in | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Beverley charged with the murder of a landlady from Bridlington. Bei | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Carter was found stabbed to death in a bedroom at her guest house on | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Friday the 18th of July. John Heald was also charged with ten rapes in | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Sheffield on the 13th of July. Magistrates ordered him to appear at | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Hull Crown Court this Friday. Police are increasing patrols in a | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
part of Lincoln after a suspected arson attack. The fire destroyed two | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
flats in Westwick Drive early this morning. No`one was hurt. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Lincolnshire detectives want help from the public to piece together | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
the final days of a man found dead in a caravan. The body of Shaun | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Scholes was discovered at Freiston near Boston at the weekend. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
A former Education Secretary attended the start of construction | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
work on the new Humber University Technical College. The school for | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
14`19 year olds in Scunthorpe will teach engineering skills, and is the | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
first of its kind in the area. It's very necessary for industry. Because | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
these companies that are supporting this college find it very difficult | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
to recruit technicians and engineers locally. And that is what they need. | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
These are big operators. Maritime experts say Hull could see | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
a shipping boom because of global warming. Ocean experts say Arctic | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
ice is thawing, opening up the shipping route north of Russia. It | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
would mean a cheaper, faster route from one side of the world to the | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
other. The rate at which ice is melting in | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
the Arctic is alarming environmentalists. But presenting | :06:32. | :06:32. | |
opportunities for shipping companies. The breaking ice has | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
opened up routes which have reduced journey times between the East and | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
the West. At the moment, ships travelling between Asia and Europe | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
go the long way round. Through the Suez Canal, with journeys taking | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
around eight weeks. Going via the Northern Sea Route, through the icy | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
waters north of Russia, cuts the journey by a third. Experts believe | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Hull is the best placed UK port to take advantage. Hull is about the | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
only one I've thought of. And looking at it, because if you come | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
much further south, you might as well go to Rotterdam. Um, so you've | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
got to be relatively far north. You've got to save the big ships | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
that additional day's sailing. Hull has a rich maritime history. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
From fishing and whaling, to shipping goods to and from the UK. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Those involved with the shipping industry today said the increased | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
use of the Northern Sea Route could be a welcome new chapter for the | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
city's port. The John Good Group was founded in Hull in 1833. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Specialising in shipping and logistics, it's exactly the type of | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
company that could benefit. Hull, as a natural gateway up and down the | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
East Coast, clearly needs to take advantage of that. And tool up to | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
make sure we can capitalise on any such opportunity going forward. By | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
2020, it's believed the Northern Sea Route could be used 60 days a year. | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
If the port of Hull is to be a viable option, experts say get the | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
infrastructure would need to be vastly improved, so that cargo could | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
be distributed efficiently beyond the port. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
More potential good news for Hull. That is the news tonight. Now the | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
weather forecast with Paul Hudson. Good evening. It looks as if we are | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
in for an unsettled spell of weather over the next few days. Tomorrow has | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
sunny intervals and scattered showers. It is dry at the moment. | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Quite a bit of cloud at times streaming in from the west. It might | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
be thick enough for the odd shower in places. But most of us will be | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
dry and we will see those temperatures around 13`14 degrees. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
`` lowest temperatures. Tomorrow, then, a day of variable amounts of | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
cloud. There will be some sunny spells at times. One of two showers | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
from the word go. But sunny spells and, as temperatures rise into the | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
afternoon, we will see those showers turning a little bit more frequent | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
and potentially heavy. But good dryer, brighter spells in between | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
those showers. Top temperatures 20 or 21 degrees. Friday, a fine start. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Showers later. Saturday, very unsettled. Heavy and at times | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
prolonged showers. That is the forecast. | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
Paul, thank you. Newsnight has just started on BBC Two with a special | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
programme on the Middle East in crisis. We are back in the morning | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
from 25 past six, as usual. I will see you tomorrow night. Take care. | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
Goodbye. heavy in the north of the region. | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
24-25 Hello again. Will it be happy | :09:35. | :09:45. | |
campers or happy gardeners? You get different responses when you mention | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
rain at this time of the year. I will try to remain neutral and talk | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
of an increasing chance of showers developing tomorrow. There'll be | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
further mentions or rain for Friday and over the weekend. Most of the | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
showers have been over northern parts but they will work southwards | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
through tonight. And at the same time begin to turn heavier as well. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
Creeping southwards all the while but not reaching south-eastern | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
parts. Starting the day dry with temperatures in the mid to high | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
teens in much of East Anglia, southern England and the Midlands. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Showers are beginning to show their hand. One or two in the Bristol | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
channel. And in southern and central England and Wales. Random across | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, but the odd patch of brighter colour | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
means that some of the showers will be heavy. | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Injects some heat and energy from the sun and the showers develop more | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
widely as the day wears on. | :10:45. | :10:45. |
