The former Home Secretary and Hull West and Hessle MP

:00:09.:00:12.

Alan Johnson says the Government should step up measures to prevent

:00:13.:00:15.

radicalisation in light of the Westminster terror attack.

:00:16.:00:18.

The Prevent programme is part of the Government's counterterror

:00:19.:00:20.

strategy and aims to stop people becoming drawn to violence.

:00:21.:00:24.

Some in the Muslim community have described the scheme as toxic,

:00:25.:00:27.

but Alan Johnson insists it has a vital role to play.

:00:28.:00:31.

Obviously, it has to be the right mechanism.

:00:32.:00:33.

There are things you can do, I don't say we got a right

:00:34.:00:36.

But it would be perverse to have a counterterrorism strategy

:00:37.:00:40.

that didn't include trying to prevent people being radicalised

:00:41.:00:42.

Researchers say that more work needs to be done to assess the impact wind

:00:43.:00:51.

farms have on harbour porpoises, which can be found in the North Sea.

:00:52.:00:54.

There are concerns that the construction of wind farms may

:00:55.:00:56.

drive the animals away and it's not clear how many return.

:00:57.:00:59.

They're seen as a barometer for the well being of the sea.

:01:00.:01:06.

The new owners of a test track used by racing drivers near Gainsborough

:01:07.:01:09.

say they want to improve the facilities for their customers

:01:10.:01:11.

and help create the next generation of motor sport drivers.

:01:12.:01:14.

Ginetta Cars announced their purchase of the track this week and,

:01:15.:01:16.

as Europe's largest manufacturer of racing cars, said buying

:01:17.:01:19.

For the last six years, the Blyton Park test track

:01:20.:01:30.

in Lincolnshire has been an easy-access space

:01:31.:01:31.

for motorsport clubs like this one to test out their vehicles.

:01:32.:01:34.

It's also been used by car manufacturers to test out theirs.

:01:35.:01:37.

Ginetta has been a long-standing customer, but now they've become

:01:38.:01:39.

Ginetta is really all about investing in British motorsport.

:01:40.:01:51.

And investing in the future of racing in the UK.

:01:52.:01:55.

And I think that, as a British manufacturer of racing cars,

:01:56.:01:58.

it's a logical step for us to purchase a track

:01:59.:02:02.

in the UK to help motorsport from the grassroots level,

:02:03.:02:05.

very much through to our aspirations to go to Le Mans

:02:06.:02:08.

Although Ginetta now manufacture their cars

:02:09.:02:14.

like this one in Garforth, near Leeds, they're no

:02:15.:02:16.

In fact, you could call this a bit of a homecoming.

:02:17.:02:22.

The bodyworks were handbuilt just outside of Parton.

:02:23.:02:24.

It's company that's been around a long time,

:02:25.:02:27.

1938 it was founded, down in Essex, and moved

:02:28.:02:30.

It's great for it to return back to its roots.

:02:31.:02:39.

In Scunthorpe, they concentrated their efforts on building the G32

:02:40.:02:43.

But their biggest initial export deals came from

:02:44.:02:46.

Famous for racing on all the world's major circuits and smashing lap

:02:47.:02:53.

We've just acquired Blyton Park, very exciting for me,

:02:54.:02:57.

we can look to enhance the driving experience here.

:02:58.:02:59.

I want to bring people to the area and teach them to drive.

:03:00.:03:03.

My fear would be that it becomes only a corporate facility.

:03:04.:03:09.

So, hopefully it will stay available to the public.

:03:10.:03:13.

If we can use the circuits, and as long as they're happy to keep

:03:14.:03:16.

letting us club racers use it, then that's brilliant, yeah.

:03:17.:03:21.

At the moment, the new bosses are saying things will stay

:03:22.:03:23.

And for now, that's exactly what these motor enthusiasts

:03:24.:03:28.

In football, Scunthorpe United have moved up to fourth in League One

:03:29.:03:38.

following a win this afternoon. The Iron beat Bradford City 3-2

:03:39.:03:41.

They'd won just one of their previous eleven league

:03:42.:03:46.

games and the victory has kept alive their faint hopes of automatic

:03:47.:03:48.

It was a tough game against a tough side, but we dug in deep and we got

:03:49.:03:58.

Let's get a look at the weather with Abbie Dewhurst.

:03:59.:04:03.

A dry picture out and about at the moment.

:04:04.:04:08.

Some clear spells, yes, but we will see cloud amounts

:04:09.:04:10.

increasing in the far north of the region.

:04:11.:04:12.

A few patches of mist, murk and some fog as well.

:04:13.:04:15.

That will prevent temperatures dropping quite as low

:04:16.:04:17.

as they have over the weekend, 4 or 5 Celsius.

:04:18.:04:19.

We will start the day tomorrow in a bit of cloudy, misty, murky now

:04:20.:04:22.

Things should stay likely dry and we should see some bright spells

:04:23.:04:30.

It won't feel quite as warm or mild as it was at the weekend,

:04:31.:04:34.

highs of 10 or 11 Celsius, always that little bit cooler

:04:35.:04:36.

For the rest of the week, more in the way of cloud,

:04:37.:04:40.

certainly on Tuesday, some showers, rain arriving

:04:41.:04:42.

on Wednesday, it will still feel very mild for the rest of the week.

:04:43.:04:50.

We'll be back in the morning at 6:25am.

:04:51.:04:54.

Hello there, it's not often that we have the best of the weather at the

:04:55.:05:12.

weekend. But, that seems to be the case this time around.

:05:13.:05:13.
