A Yorkshire MEP is reported to the French police following a clash | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
One thing I am guilty of is going into that room. I should not have | :00:12. | :00:23. | |
done that and I apologise. Too much focus on renewables | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
and not enough on tourism - the head of Pleasure Island | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
criticises the council A Hull-based Euro-MP has bedn told | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
off by his party but cleared of starting the argument th`t left | :00:31. | :00:48. | |
a fellow Ukip This afternoon Ukip released | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
the findings of an internal report into the row | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
between Mike Hookem and Steven Earlier the president | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
of the European Parliament said he'd asked French Police | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
to investigate what happened. It's still not clear exactlx | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
what happened in that heated exchange at the European Parliament | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
almost three weeks ago. MEP Steven Woolfe spent | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
three nights in hospital after collapsing on the day | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
the altercation took place. Yorkshire and Humber MEP Mike Hookem | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
has admitetd that a scuffle took place but has denied punching | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Mr Woolfe following an argulent I have stuck by that | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
because it's the truth. Ukip's party chairman today said | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
he considered suspending Mike Hookem but decided to hssue | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
a formal reprimand because he was satisfied Mr Hookem | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
wasn't the insitigator. One thing I am guilty of is rising | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
to the bait and going into that I should not have done that | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
and I apologise to the partx Today the president | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
of the European Parliament Lartin Schulz called for an investhgation | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
by French police because of what he claimed were the serious | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
and possible criminal implications. between the two men | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
diverged substantially. Mr Schulz said medical reports | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
suggested that Steven Woolfd Mike Hookem has hit back, accusing | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
the European Parliament president punched of making declamatory | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
statements which falsely He also claimed those | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
accusations wouldn't have been made without | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
legal immunity the European Parliament offers. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Any French police investigation I will welcome because | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
it will once again prove that I am innocent. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Steven Woolfe, once seen as a rising star in Ukip and possible | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
leadership contender, has now left the party, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
It's now down to the French authorities to decide whethdr anyone | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
Roger Helmer is a Ukip MEP for the East Midlands | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
who was in the room when the incident took placd. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Earlier I asked him whether it was all getting ` bit | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
I'm not sure it isn't getting more and more embarrassing for the | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
We've now had two investigations, one by the | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
party and one by the Parlialent Standards Committee, | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
are unable to determine what actually happened between the two | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
men and against that background we've had the President of the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Parliament and a prominent German MEP, Manfred Weber, | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
who have both said within the | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
parliament hemicycle, that Mike Hookem he hit Steven Woolfe. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
They have no evidence of th`t and their own report says it | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
is impossible to say exactlx what happened so it is prepostorous | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
that they would make unsubstantiated allegations | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
Are you convinced that Mr Woolfe had not been | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
hit or punched by Mr Hookem because Mr Hookem says he was and this | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
is where there is this discrepancy although maybe we will never know? | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Well, I certainly saw Mr Woolfe get up and challenge Mike Hookel to come | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
outside so it is absolutely clear that Steven Woolfe was the | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
I then saw Steven Woolfe maxbe ten or 20 seconds later come | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
back in through the door by which he had left. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
He came in backwards, falling backwards and he was seen to | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
hit his head on a wooden ledge on a glass window and I asstme that | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
any subsequent injury to Mr Woolfe was the | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
result of that blow on the head from his falling down. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
I can confirm that he did not appear to have been | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
There was no visible bruising, there was no blood on his | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
face, no teeth missing, his tie was not askew. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
He resumed his seat and | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
continued to speak in a normal voice. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
So, I can't tell you whether he was hit or not but I can | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Mr Hookem says today with this internal report that he has been | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Is that how you see it and can he actually survive this, do you | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Cleared, he has been critichsed for rising to the bait | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
What he did when he was outside we will not be | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
I think the report which I have just read a few minutes ago | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
I think it was appropriate that Mike be | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
reprimanded for that behaviour for which he has apologised | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
but I attach greater blame to Steven Woolfe who | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
The Grantham and Stamford MP, Nick Boles, has announced that | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
doctors have found a cancerous tumour in his head. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
He's due to start treatment and has apologised for having to withdraw | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
from a demonstration against reduced hours at Grantham A | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Prime Minister Theresa May wished Mr Boles well in the Commons. | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
I just want to pay tribute to the member for Grantham | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
and Stamford for the social media messages sent out this mornhng. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
It shows amazing humour and bravery and we wish him all the verx | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
best and hope he fully recovers from this. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Can I also join him in commdnding my honourable friend, | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
the member for Grantham and Stamford, for being willing | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
to be so open about the health problem that he has and we wish him | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
It goes without saying that we also offer him the very best. | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
A double decker bus has caught fire at Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Crews from Lincolnshire and Norfolk fire and rescue both attenddd | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
the incident which took place just after 3:00 this afternoon. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
This footage was taken by a passer-by. | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
Plans to bring together all parts of Lincolnshire to apply for more | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
powers from the Government have been approved by councillors in Spalding. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
South Holland District Council was the last to decide | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
whether to support the creation of a Greater Lincolnshire Atthority, | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
which would involve an elected mayor. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
County Councillors rejected the proposals last week. | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Too much focus on offshore wind and not enough effort | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
on promoting the area - the criticism tonight | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
of North East Lincolnshire Council from the owner of Pleasure Hsland. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
The Cleethorpe theme park shut today for the final time after allost | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Bosses blame falling visitor numbers. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Melanie Wood is the owner of Pleasure Island. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Earlier I asked her why she decided to shut the park down. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
It just got to the point where the business was no | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
We have tried hard for many years to make it work and it wasn't and it | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
just came to the point where enough was enough. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
But other similar sorts of venue and outfit managed to | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
You had a good position, a great position, you can't really | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
It certainly played a large part of why | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
we haven't succeeded, being on the north-east coast. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
We do get it a lot harsher than other places. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
I do believe we have a micro climate at Cleethorpes. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
But you are right, it's not the only contributing factor. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
We don't have the financial support that a | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
lot of the other big theme parks have. | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Sadly, it wasn't enough to keep the business going. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Do you think that businesses in the resort get enough | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
support and backing from the local council? | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
I do believe that Cleethorpes lacks a lot | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
There is no budget for tourism, or rather | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
there is a very small budget for tourism. | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
I do think Cleethorpes has suffered as a result of that. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
There has been a lot of time, money and | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
effort put into renewables hn the area and that is very commendable | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
but unfortunately I think tourism has suffered as a result. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
This is very, very sad for the resort, | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
What would you say then to the council with regard | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
finger out on tourism and backing tourism? | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
I think they need to get out there and talk to | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
businesses, talk to the people involved in tourism, and find | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
out what is going on, find out what we can do togdther | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
to make Cleethorpes the place people want to visit. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
There are so many places out there, we need to be at the forefront of | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
people's minds when they ard considering a day out and at the | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Thank you very much indeed for your time. | :09:38. | :09:42. | |

sunshine with | :11:37. | :11:37. |
