:00:09. > :00:15.Welcome to Inside Out from Lincolnshire.
:00:15. > :00:21.This week, could the future of the famous Red Arrows based here at RAF
:00:21. > :00:29.Scampton be in jeopardy? After two tragic deaths N3 months,
:00:29. > :00:36.could they fall victim to defence cuts? -- in three months.
:00:36. > :00:41.You really have to think, the game is up unless they buy the planes.
:00:41. > :00:45.Stopping the litter louts - at a time when councils are looking to
:00:45. > :00:51.cut costs, how do we deal with the problem?
:00:51. > :00:57.You dropped some litter there. A fag packet.
:00:57. > :01:07.Pigs might fly. The East Yorkshire pig farming business setting its
:01:07. > :01:18.
:01:18. > :01:23.The tragic deaths of two Red Arrows pilots in three months has brought
:01:23. > :01:28.unwelcome attention on one of the military's most famous institutions.
:01:28. > :01:33.Now a defence Allott -- analyst has told us that, with the armed forces
:01:33. > :01:41.facing cutbacks, the RAF may have to consider a future without its
:01:42. > :01:48.famous display team. The pilot, who had been thrown from
:01:48. > :01:54.the aircraft, was pronounced dead at the scene. He always gave his
:01:54. > :01:59.most, for his job or in his life. It is with great regret that I can
:01:59. > :02:05.confirm that there has been a ground incident involving when --
:02:05. > :02:11.one of the team, which has in -- resulted in the death of the pilot.
:02:11. > :02:17.I could not save enough nice things about him. This has obviously been
:02:17. > :02:22.a very tragic time. We must get to the bottom of what happened.
:02:22. > :02:26.Red Arrows are normally a familiar sight here in Lincolnshire. For the
:02:26. > :02:30.past week the skies has been -- have been empty as investigations
:02:30. > :02:33.continue. The latest tragic death comes at a time when some are
:02:33. > :02:41.questioning the future of the Red Arrows.
:02:41. > :02:44.We are coming up to crunch.. It is too close to call. For the Red
:02:45. > :02:50.Arrows it is one of the most challenging periods in their 50
:02:50. > :02:52.year history, two fatal accidents in quick succession. In August
:02:52. > :02:59.Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging died in an air show in Dorset after
:02:59. > :03:03.crashing into the ground near Bournemouth, and eight days after
:03:03. > :03:06.his memorial service the team suffered a not -- another blow,
:03:06. > :03:10.with the death of Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham at the Red Arrows
:03:10. > :03:14.base in Scampton. He died after being ejected from his Hawk T1 on
:03:14. > :03:20.the ground. Inquiries have been carried out by
:03:20. > :03:25.a team of crash investigators from the Military Aviation Authority.
:03:25. > :03:29.Professor Graham Braithwaite is director of the Safety and Accident
:03:29. > :03:37.Investigation Centre, where the men charged with discovering the facts
:03:37. > :03:42.are trained. This is the laboratory where the investigations are
:03:42. > :03:48.carried out. Some of these wrecks have been involved in real
:03:48. > :03:52.accidents. When people see two Red Arrows crashes in a matter of
:03:52. > :03:58.months, they might draw their own conclusions. I would expect the
:03:58. > :04:04.investigators to look at whether there is a pattern, but they might
:04:04. > :04:13.be unrelated. I think it would be too soon to draw any conclusions
:04:13. > :04:23.about a pattern. The latest inquiry is focusing on be plain's Martin
:04:23. > :04:31.
:04:31. > :04:41.Baker mark 10 ejection seat. -- and the plains. -- the aeroplanes'. A
:04:41. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:49.directive has been given out to all planes with the same ejection seat.
:04:49. > :04:53.The ejection seat manufacturer Martin Baker told Inside Out that
:04:53. > :04:57.he is co-operating fully with the inquiry. It said it was confident
:04:57. > :05:01.the issue of the seed was not related to the manufacture or
:05:01. > :05:06.design but that it would be inappropriate to comment further
:05:06. > :05:14.until the full facts are known. It added that it has over 5,000 seats
:05:14. > :05:18.in service worldwide and to date it has saved 489 lives. It may have
:05:18. > :05:23.fired as a result of something else that was happening. You have to
:05:23. > :05:28.look at the evidence, the witnesses, and work with the manufacturer to
:05:28. > :05:35.look at whether this is something that has happened before. It is
:05:35. > :05:40.about gathering facts and not jumping to conclusions. I think
:05:40. > :05:43.people will look quite deep beyond the incident. The past year has
:05:43. > :05:47.been extremely difficult for the Red Arrows. While the attention is
:05:47. > :05:56.on their immediate future, at some point that will have to switch to
:05:57. > :06:00.what happens in the long term. The RAF have been using Hawk jets since
:06:00. > :06:04.1976 and the Red Arrows currently have a fleet of 13 based at
:06:04. > :06:12.Scampton. They were made at BAE Systems in Brough but production of
:06:12. > :06:17.the jets in East Yorkshire is being phased out. This man is an expert
:06:17. > :06:24.for Jane's Defence. He says that, while the recent accents --
:06:24. > :06:33.accidents are tragic, there is a significant long-term problem.
:06:33. > :06:39.What are the threat to the Red Arrows? The life of their aircraft.
:06:39. > :06:45.They have been used since the 1970s and they only have so much life in
:06:45. > :06:48.them. They are only expected to be used until about 2017. They may
:06:48. > :06:53.have not decided to buy a replacement. According to his
:06:53. > :06:57.figures it would cost between �350 million and �400 million to replace
:06:57. > :07:07.the Red Arrows fleet, which in the current climate look mate -- makes
:07:07. > :07:24.
:07:24. > :07:30.Within a year, 18 months, unless they decide to buy the planes, you
:07:30. > :07:35.have to think the game is up. Brough, where 900 workers are due
:07:35. > :07:39.to be made redundant, the worry is that whatever planes replace the
:07:39. > :07:48.Hawk, they will not be made in Britain, a decision which unions
:07:48. > :07:57.say will be a trap -- a tragedy for the British aerospace industry.
:07:57. > :08:04.may have the Red Arrows flying a Korean Air -- aeroplane in the
:08:05. > :08:08.future. It has to be a nonsense that we would have ambassadors of
:08:08. > :08:15.the Red Arrows taking their planes a round-the-world in a plane that
:08:15. > :08:20.is not from the UK. It comes at a time when the RAF is told it has to
:08:20. > :08:25.lose 5,000 personnel in four years and between 25 % and 30 % of its
:08:25. > :08:29.civilian staff, 930 redundancies having already been announced.
:08:29. > :08:33.Although the RAF is having to think very carefully about its future
:08:33. > :08:38.funding, one former Air Vice Marshall believes it would be a
:08:38. > :08:41.mistake to make the Red Arrows a scapegoat. Jered -- Gerry Connolly,
:08:41. > :08:47.a defence aerospace consultant, says they still have a relevance
:08:47. > :08:53.that goes far beyond their stunning aerial acrobatics. They come from
:08:53. > :09:03.the phone line, they go to the Red Arrows for three years, and they go
:09:03. > :09:07.
:09:07. > :09:12.back to the front line. What they do it in the Red Arrows, and all of
:09:12. > :09:17.that -- all that that means for UK plc, they are at the top of their
:09:17. > :09:24.game and by a process of osmosis that goes across the Royal Air
:09:24. > :09:29.Force. They deliver a lot more than just displays on the day. The MoD
:09:29. > :09:37.dismissed talk about the future of the Red Arrows as pure speculation.
:09:37. > :09:41.They say the fleet of Hawks are not due to leave service until 2018.
:09:41. > :09:45.But, as the RAF and the families of the two dead pilots continue to
:09:45. > :09:50.mourn their loss, the people at Scampton are only too aware of how
:09:50. > :09:55.quickly things can change. When it happens that this guy is
:09:55. > :10:03.RMT in Scampton for the summer, we know they are away doing shows, but
:10:03. > :10:07.when they are empty over the winter, there is an eeriness about it.
:10:07. > :10:14.had a memorial service at the cathedral only a few weeks ago for
:10:14. > :10:19.a Jon and it seems as soon as that was over this happened. -- for Jon.
:10:20. > :10:26.It has stunned the village. What will be will be. It is just for me
:10:26. > :10:32.to make sure that I put my feeling across for the village and
:10:32. > :10:37.everybody that we love them dearly. But amid the Soren there is a
:10:37. > :10:45.pragmatism but nothing can be taken for granted. -- sorrowful stop
:10:45. > :10:50.Steve Hand helped to paint the Red Arrows their distinctive colour.
:10:50. > :10:56.There are still children aspiring to be aviators when they get older
:10:56. > :11:01.and the Red Arrows are something to aspire to. In the economic climate
:11:01. > :11:06.at the moment, if it is a struggle to keep funding them. I would hate
:11:06. > :11:10.to think that the writing is on the wall for them. The future of the
:11:10. > :11:13.Red Arrows is unlikely to be decided in the next weeks or months
:11:13. > :11:17.but at some point in the not too distant future the decision will
:11:17. > :11:22.have to be made. As soon as the Red Arrows are clear
:11:22. > :11:27.to start flying again, they can get back to rehearsing next year's
:11:27. > :11:37.routines and they will be hoping that the coming 12 months bring a
:11:37. > :12:10.
:12:10. > :12:17.much-needed change in their Three northern towns trying to
:12:17. > :12:24.become cities, trying to deal with one problem. It is disgusting,
:12:24. > :12:27.everything is on the floor. Chips, gravy, Greece. The British are the
:12:27. > :12:32.fattest people in Europe. They can't control themselves and they
:12:32. > :12:35.don't care about public spending. Councils in Barnsley, Rotherham and
:12:35. > :12:43.the Dearne Valley have told us that picking up litter is a waste of
:12:43. > :12:53.money. If you thought it wasn't a problem, take another look. Every
:12:53. > :13:01.
:13:01. > :13:11.place has a different tactic. In This is possibly the toughest
:13:11. > :13:11.
:13:11. > :13:19.council in England would it comes to litter enforcement. Their
:13:19. > :13:24.targets for the round of fines handed out -- there are targets.
:13:24. > :13:29.have got to be in a situation where we have got to have teeth. They do
:13:29. > :13:33.it because they would rather not spend money from increasingly
:13:33. > :13:37.stretched budget by picking up our rubbish. In England alone, the
:13:37. > :13:43.local authorities spend �880 million on street cleansing. That
:13:43. > :13:47.is money which could be much better spent on other things. Doncaster
:13:47. > :13:57.would have �3 million every year to spend on other things. Across the
:13:57. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:02.Pennines, but it costs 2.8 million. -- litre costs. The focus is much
:14:02. > :14:09.more on changing people's behaviour, and if that doesn't work, they tell
:14:09. > :14:18.you off. But the man in the black jacket and a grey trousers please
:14:18. > :14:28.pick up the litter. Five years ago, talking cameras were brought 10.
:14:28. > :14:37.covers a lot of ground. Have you seen it work? Yes, we have got some
:14:37. > :14:44.footage of a later -- a lady whipping up a Yellow Pages book.
:14:44. > :14:54.Doncaster, they find fear works better. They will be fined. We know
:14:54. > :14:55.
:14:55. > :15:02.it isn't the back of people's minds. -- we know it is end. But not with
:15:02. > :15:11.everyone. They ended up fining me. It is the government's way of
:15:11. > :15:16.making money. They can sit on their houses and get paid. In Doncaster
:15:17. > :15:24.last year, they raised a cool �120,000 in fines, compared to
:15:24. > :15:29.6,000 in Bolton and just �250 in Middlesbrough. It is a major
:15:29. > :15:36.success. We don't need to find people. So, you don't borrow the
:15:37. > :15:40.Doncaster is raking money in for the council? -- you don't worry.
:15:40. > :15:50.Even campaign groups are arguing about litter. It is a British
:15:50. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :15:55.institution. Keep Britain tidy has been around for 50 years. But
:15:55. > :16:00.continuing to fund it is throwing taxpayers' money in the bin.
:16:00. > :16:05.campaigning dust has not worked. There are streets like this all
:16:05. > :16:12.over England. John Read launched Clean Up Britain this year with the
:16:13. > :16:16.help of celebrities. Litter is a big issue in this country. You
:16:16. > :16:21.wouldn't throw away litter in Europe house. There are a group of
:16:21. > :16:25.individuals who have got together on a voluntary basis to run this
:16:25. > :16:35.campaign. And by saying the campaign is failing, they have
:16:35. > :16:36.
:16:36. > :16:41.caused quite a stir. It seems a bit daft but that is what they have
:16:41. > :16:45.chosen to do. But campaigns like this a part funded by the taxpayer,
:16:45. > :16:51.and on top of that, they ask town - - councils in towns like Doncaster
:16:51. > :17:00.for even more money. Can we afford it? In Bolton, they are already
:17:00. > :17:10.feeling the pinch. It has deteriorated because of the
:17:10. > :17:17.workforce. You need to make sure people don't drop litter in the
:17:17. > :17:22.first base. It is a mindset that needs to change. People used to
:17:22. > :17:28.clean in front of their houses. Even if you think littering is
:17:28. > :17:31.wrong, day you into being? This man confronted two teenagers for
:17:32. > :17:41.throwing rubbish. He was punched in the face and he died with a head
:17:42. > :17:42.
:17:42. > :17:49.injury. You have dropped some litter just there. Why did you do
:17:49. > :17:57.it? Are you going to stop? Why did you put it down there for someone
:17:57. > :18:07.else to pick up? I know you're sorry, let's find a bend. It's just
:18:07. > :18:11.
:18:11. > :18:17.there. Its embarrassing, isn't it? Most people, when you tell them
:18:17. > :18:27.about it, they know they have done something wrong. If councils didn't
:18:27. > :18:30.
:18:30. > :18:39.pick up litter? Do Be Really Want To Keep Britain tidy? Bolton agreed
:18:39. > :18:49.to leave 100 metres of a Town Street and cleaned for a day. --
:18:49. > :18:53.without cleaning Friday. This is what we found. The majority of
:18:53. > :18:58.people who saw that litter were shocked. Normally, it would have
:18:58. > :19:05.been cleaned away in the early hours. We asked local children to
:19:05. > :19:10.help clean up the mess. But in Middlesbrough, it's going to be a
:19:10. > :19:20.much tougher job. The council left a mile of its busiest road and
:19:20. > :19:26.cleaned for a whole weekend. It is disgusting. Chris packets, fag
:19:26. > :19:36.packets. Cleaning up our own bit of the streets might not be a bad idea
:19:36. > :19:38.
:19:38. > :19:44.with council budgets under pressure. And in this Middlesbrough Road, we
:19:45. > :19:48.collected 24 full bags of rubbish. Food for thought? Next time you see
:19:48. > :19:56.somebody dropping a crisp packet on the floor, just imagine that is
:19:56. > :20:02.your five-pound note because you're paying to pick it up. As the
:20:02. > :20:08.eurozone lectures from one -- from one crisis to another, businesses
:20:08. > :20:15.are increasingly looking for Forest to market. One company is not only
:20:15. > :20:19.taking its animals to China, but bringing China to its animals.
:20:19. > :20:22.pigs, pigs! They're not always seen as the most glamorous or lucrative
:20:22. > :20:25.part of the farming business. But for one East Yorkshire company,
:20:25. > :20:31.raising pigs has been honed to a scientific process where animals
:20:31. > :20:36.are bred for their genetic superiority. The animals we're
:20:36. > :20:39.providing are the top of the pyramid. They require high
:20:39. > :20:42.attention to detail to get the optimum results. Pigs from JSR
:20:42. > :20:50.Genetics near Driffield are now being exported all over the world
:20:51. > :20:58.and in particular to the world's biggest market for pork, China.
:20:58. > :21:04.There are nearly 50 million sows in China. Their requirement for a
:21:04. > :21:07.protein is increasing. So JSR is going where the money and the pork
:21:07. > :21:10.is. They're providing 1,500 breeding sows and boars to a
:21:10. > :21:19.Chinese company called HB Coff. These animals will then form the
:21:19. > :21:26.basis for a huge pig breeding unit with over a million pigs. This
:21:26. > :21:29.afternoon, we will go to the structure... Bobo, Yann, Amber and
:21:29. > :21:32.Lee work for HB Coff in China. They've been brought over to live
:21:32. > :21:36.in Driffield for several weeks to learn about British pig farming
:21:36. > :21:41.methods. I would like you to make a list of the traits that you think
:21:41. > :21:44.we would look for. And it's not long before they're out of the
:21:44. > :21:54.classroom and onto one of JSR's farms in Oxfordshire and I'm going
:21:54. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:07.along too for a free pig farming lesson. Hyde, Steve Bull stop --
:22:07. > :22:13.hello, steep. We need to get you showered through to protect our
:22:13. > :22:19.pigs for many diseases. I've signed in, now it's time to shower down
:22:20. > :22:23.and put on unit clothes. While I'm in the shower, our cameraman Mark
:22:23. > :22:31.has to make sure all his equipment is free of any nasty germs that the
:22:31. > :22:36.pigs might pick up. I'm showered and clean and I'm wearing Wellies
:22:36. > :22:46.two sizes too big. The first thing we're learning is weighing and
:22:46. > :23:02.
:23:02. > :23:11.measuring, but first a bit of pig Jason, which area of the pig had
:23:11. > :23:21.you just been measuring. He is measuring from this the end, the
:23:21. > :23:21.
:23:21. > :23:30.depth, this measurement here. gives the pork the really nice
:23:30. > :23:40.flavour? This marbling effect here. We need to see if we can improve on
:23:40. > :23:45.taste and flavour. I catch up with Lee and Bobo in between lessons.
:23:45. > :23:49.China, we used a lot of human beings. But in the UK, we used a
:23:49. > :23:54.lot of machines and technology to raise the pigs. What British
:23:54. > :23:58.customs do you think you will take back with you to China? If I could
:23:58. > :24:04.get the chance, I would suggest to my boss to give me coffee time in
:24:04. > :24:08.the morning! Now we're onto the most important issue - breeding.
:24:08. > :24:11.The students go to JSR's boar stud near Selby to learn about semen
:24:11. > :24:21.collection. Once the delicate process of producing semen is over,
:24:21. > :24:30.it is then taken to the lab to be diluted into individual doses.
:24:30. > :24:38.have done 21 doses per boar. We have some boars that can do a lot
:24:38. > :24:48.more. The smallest amount... Once it leaves here, it goes to the
:24:48. > :24:48.
:24:48. > :24:52.farms and the farmers then inseminate their sows. Back in
:24:52. > :24:57.Oxfordshire, we're about to see how that works. I'm just going in with
:24:57. > :25:01.Lee now to learn about AI, which stands for artificial insemination.
:25:01. > :25:05.Tom shows Lee how to inseminate the sow the scientific way, using the
:25:05. > :25:15.diluted boar's semen. It's not a particularly pleasant job but Lee
:25:15. > :25:15.
:25:15. > :25:22.doesn't seem phased. The most important part to remember is to go
:25:22. > :25:32.upwards. How often do you inseminate the pics? On a weekly
:25:32. > :25:42.basis, from Monday to to Friday. Each gilt will have Freeserve's,
:25:42. > :25:43.
:25:43. > :25:53.whereas a sow will only have two -- three serves. We need a steady flow
:25:53. > :26:00.
:26:00. > :26:07.of AI flowing. It helps them to think they have a boar with them.
:26:07. > :26:12.How was it to learn about AI? think I need to learn to be patient.
:26:12. > :26:22.It is relatively simple. Are you nervous about your first
:26:22. > :26:22.
:26:23. > :26:26.insemination? Yes, I'm nervous and I'm also curious. The first pigs
:26:26. > :26:29.for the new unit in China will be loaded onto planes in the next few
:26:29. > :26:34.days. This really is a large scale industrial operation which seems
:26:34. > :26:39.quite remote from my idea of traditional pig farming. People
:26:39. > :26:43.have the perception of genetics of people in white coats. We're not
:26:43. > :26:48.doing that. Testing is undertaken on the farm, the data is gathered
