:00:54. > :00:56.what the Vauxhall deal As you may have seen,
:00:57. > :01:01.the French car manufacturer PSA, the company behind
:01:02. > :01:06.Peugeot and Citroen, has agreed to buy Vauxhall and Opel
:01:07. > :01:09.in a deal worth almost ?2 billion. It has national and
:01:10. > :01:10.international ramifications, but more directly, it
:01:11. > :01:14.will affect the 1,500 people who work
:01:15. > :01:17.for Vauxhall in Luton and the thousands of employees
:01:18. > :01:22.of local suppliers. For them, more certainty
:01:23. > :01:24.that the deal will be done, but no guarantees over
:01:25. > :01:27.the long-term future. Nicola Haseler is in
:01:28. > :01:39.Luton for us now. Workers here have enjoyed a
:01:40. > :01:43.nerve-racking few weeks, not knowing what will happen to their jobs. And
:01:44. > :01:49.Vauxhall is 1 of Luton's biggest employers. While this plant is
:01:50. > :01:54.secure for the short-term, the new owners PSA will need to make cuts
:01:55. > :01:57.somewhere in Europe. At shift changeover in Vauxhall this
:01:58. > :02:00.lunchtime, many staff had still not been told that they were now
:02:01. > :02:09.employees of the French car giant PSA. We don't know anything yet. I
:02:10. > :02:14.have heard nothing. Not allowed to speak about it. The commitment to
:02:15. > :02:20.continue production in Luton has been secured until 2024 but beyond
:02:21. > :02:25.that the PSA chairman said today that its future depends on improving
:02:26. > :02:30.performance. Their future is in their hands, based on their ability
:02:31. > :02:34.to give themselves the level performance that will ensure the
:02:35. > :02:38.sustainability of company. We know we've got a good workforce,
:02:39. > :02:43.hopefully they will take that on board, that's all we can say. We'll
:02:44. > :02:50.do our bit. Let's hope they do theirs. I looked over when her show
:02:51. > :02:56.as well as they thought. We haven't as well as they thought. We haven't
:02:57. > :03:00.been told if our jobs are safe, we have families and bills to pay so as
:03:01. > :03:04.someone on the front line of the production, we want to know what is
:03:05. > :03:08.going on. Today was reassuring in that they say they are going to keep
:03:09. > :03:14.our contracts until at least 2025, if they stick to that, everyone will
:03:15. > :03:19.be caught happy. The plant is 1 of the most productive in Europe. But
:03:20. > :03:24.2000 jobs were lost in Luton when Vauxhall stopped making cars here 15
:03:25. > :03:29.years ago. I think we're quite unique, we used to have the Vauxhall
:03:30. > :03:35.car plant, we know what happened in 2000, that's why we wouldn't want to
:03:36. > :03:38.see the van plant going down the same road, we need to preserve the
:03:39. > :03:43.jobs here and there is no reason we can't, we have an efficient,
:03:44. > :03:47.flexible workforce, why wouldn't we continue here? There has to be
:03:48. > :03:51.serious concern whether as a big announcement like this, we are
:03:52. > :03:55.reassured that they are saying they want to invest in the brand and make
:03:56. > :03:59.sure the iconic brand of Vauxhall continues, for our part, we were
:04:00. > :04:04.watching with government and working with Vauxhall and trade unions to
:04:05. > :04:05.make sure that Vauxhall is a long-term business pollutant. Just
:04:06. > :04:18.how long-term is still in question. The plot's future will depend on the
:04:19. > :04:22.kind of savings that the new owners PSA want to make and on the Brexit
:04:23. > :04:25.deal that the government negotiates stop while there was cautious
:04:26. > :04:30.optimism here, there are many businesses around Luton that penned
:04:31. > :04:33.on Vauxhall, there are now facing a more uncertain future.
:04:34. > :04:36.There's a lot of politics behind this story,
:04:37. > :04:39.not just because Vauxhall is a major and long established employer
:04:40. > :04:40.but because its future under Peugeot Citroen
:04:41. > :04:42.will be very much determined by what happens in the
:04:43. > :04:44.Brexit negotioations which are about to begin.
:04:45. > :04:54.Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair reports.
:04:55. > :05:00.It's a sign of the level of concern felt about Vauxhall that the
:05:01. > :05:06.Business Secretary was called to the Commons this afternoon to update MPs
:05:07. > :05:11.on the deal. These have been worrying times for the workforce. He
:05:12. > :05:17.acknowledged the uncertainty felt in places like Luton. But he said the
:05:18. > :05:20.new owners had given welcome commitments, PSA's strategy
:05:21. > :05:26.committee said, was 1 of expansion not plant closures and felt that the
:05:27. > :05:30.UK in a good place. It is an area in which we are strong and have a high
:05:31. > :05:35.reputation, there should be an opportunity to make what is good
:05:36. > :05:40.even better. The Beds MP asked for reassurances for those who works in
:05:41. > :05:45.the Luton supply chain, he said it may well expand under this deal. The
:05:46. > :05:50.Corby MP asked if this could benefit steel, very possibly, came the
:05:51. > :05:55.reply. Labour were cautiously welcoming but could see possible
:05:56. > :06:00.problems. Our employment laws make it easier to sack workers in the UK
:06:01. > :06:04.compared to those who work in France and Germany, which puts them at an
:06:05. > :06:10.immediate disadvantage. The feeling at West by Mr is that at the moment
:06:11. > :06:15.Luton are safe but there is 1 big uncertainty. Brexit. What sort of a
:06:16. > :06:21.trading religion trip will we end up having with the EU? A free-trade
:06:22. > :06:23.deal, so that parts and cars can freely move in and out of Europe
:06:24. > :06:29.will keep this plot competitive, but what if tariffs are applied? The
:06:30. > :06:35.uncertainty over our trading relationship will deter investment
:06:36. > :06:39.unless the government can nail down a trading relationship as quickly as
:06:40. > :06:42.possible and they have said the UK's leading the single market, leaving
:06:43. > :06:46.the customs union, that means a lot of uncertainty in the car industry
:06:47. > :06:53.to makes it difficult for the of Peugeot to commit to the UK. But 1
:06:54. > :06:57.of Luton's MPs isn't so concerned. The reality is that it is a big
:06:58. > :06:59.market in Britain, they won't want to upset the market and having a
:07:00. > :07:03.manufacturing footprint here is an manufacturing footprint here is an
:07:04. > :07:06.important part of having a good relationship with their market.
:07:07. > :07:10.Until Brexit negotiations are concluded, it's hard for anyone to
:07:11. > :07:11.say what the long-term future will become Luton forced everyone is
:07:12. > :07:14.hoping for the best. Earlier I spoke to Gavin Shuker,
:07:15. > :07:16.the MP for Luton South. I asked him for his reaction
:07:17. > :07:28.to the news of the deal. This is a good 1st step in the
:07:29. > :07:31.future of the model here in Luton because we now know what the
:07:32. > :07:38.ownership is going to be. But no 1 should be under any force conception
:07:39. > :07:42.here, we need to work hard to secure the future jobs both here at the
:07:43. > :07:46.plant, this is 1 of the most efficient and most productive parts
:07:47. > :07:51.of General Motors and will be in the newly formed company, but with the
:07:52. > :07:55.risks of Brexit and the possibility of a very hard Brexit, we know we
:07:56. > :07:58.are going to work hard to make sure the government delivers on that
:07:59. > :08:02.commitment as well as PSA. What commitments would unite the
:08:03. > :08:09.government to deliver on? The government has studied it will push
:08:10. > :08:16.for a hard Brexit, and currently pushed some addictions here in the
:08:17. > :08:20.UK, without that, we note there will be tariffs, taxes on vans going into
:08:21. > :08:25.the continent and parts coming back in, that would be disastrous for a
:08:26. > :08:28.plant like this and Vauxhall's Val Smith port, they can take the risk
:08:29. > :08:32.of that and say they will cover the costs of that, if they don't
:08:33. > :08:38.negotiate with they need to all they can push for a softer Brexit, which
:08:39. > :08:42.allows us to be 1 of the best places in Europe that manufacturers vans.
:08:43. > :08:47.There are 8 years left on the current contract in Luton, what do
:08:48. > :08:52.you think will happen after that? 8 years is a long way away, in
:08:53. > :08:57.automotive terms, its relatively short. We need a decision on a new
:08:58. > :09:01.van in 5 years' time, the good news is we will probably have an idea of
:09:02. > :09:08.what the future sake of putting's Russian ship with Europe will be,
:09:09. > :09:12.but in the short-term, GM lost money on its operations in Europe in the
:09:13. > :09:17.last 16 years, continuously, under new ownership they would be crazy to
:09:18. > :09:19.get rid of 1 of the parts of this business that is making money, ie
:09:20. > :09:26.the van plant here in Luton. PSA the van plant here in Luton. PSA
:09:27. > :09:31.have given reassurances today over the future of jobs, are you
:09:32. > :09:34.satisfied with what they have said? I'm thankful for their interjections
:09:35. > :09:38.that guarantee the future of this plant, it makes good business sense,
:09:39. > :09:43.but probably the bigger part of this story is now putting's relationship
:09:44. > :09:46.with the EU, which is why we need the government to do its bit. --
:09:47. > :09:48.Britain's relationship. So that's the local
:09:49. > :09:49.politician's view. Let's hear now from our
:09:50. > :09:52.Business Correspondent Richard Bond. How important is this van factory
:09:53. > :10:01.to the region's economy? Symbolically, it is enormously
:10:02. > :10:05.important commit 1 of our last big factories. The 1500 workers are
:10:06. > :10:09.there, thousands more in the supply chain and what's there is the legacy
:10:10. > :10:11.of the fantastic industrial heritage that Vauxhall has, going back to
:10:12. > :10:17.that Vauxhall has, going back to 1905.
:10:18. > :10:19.So how well do you think Luton has fared in light
:10:20. > :10:33.Not bad, I think the omens are better for Luton than 4 thousand
:10:34. > :10:39.airport, which security until 2021, which in the meantime, Putin has it
:10:40. > :10:43.The worry must be that Luton is safe for the time being.
:10:44. > :10:55.1 of its strengths is it is the last man factory in Britain, Ford has
:10:56. > :11:00.closed in Southampton, LDV vans has closed in Birmingham and the UK is a
:11:01. > :11:04.massive market for commercial vehicles. Would it really make sense
:11:05. > :11:11.to close the last man factory in the country and then serve that vast UK
:11:12. > :11:15.market simply by importing what are bulky things? -- the last van
:11:16. > :11:20.factory. I struggled to see how that would be commercial sense.
:11:21. > :11:22.You're watching Look East from the BBC.
:11:23. > :11:25.Still to come, Julie will be taking a look at the week's weather.
:11:26. > :11:27.And a new excavation at one of the region's oldest
:11:28. > :11:36.One of the region's councils is bidding to become the first local
:11:37. > :11:39.authority outside London to ban diesel taxis.
:11:40. > :11:42.Air pollution levels in Cambridge have begun to drop.
:11:43. > :11:46.But diesel emissions in the city centre continue to be a problem.
:11:47. > :11:49.Now the council wants to phase out the most polluting cars.
:11:50. > :11:51.As part of the BBC's So-I-Can-Breathe week,
:11:52. > :11:55.Mousumi Bakshi has been to see one firm already
:11:56. > :12:14.It's the 1st fare of the day for Apple and time the charges cap. It
:12:15. > :12:18.is 1 of the electric caps that crisscross the congested streets of
:12:19. > :12:22.Cambridge system running costs have dropped with fuel bills cut by
:12:23. > :12:28.around 90%. You save a lot of money by driving an electric car, my fuel
:12:29. > :12:36.costs are a lot lower now, and you do get better economy driving an
:12:37. > :12:38.electric car. There are just a handful of charge points of the
:12:39. > :12:42.county and while the current generation of electric cars can only
:12:43. > :12:47.travel so far on 1 charge, the technology suits short taxi ride in
:12:48. > :12:53.a city can to terms with green energy. Some of our market research
:12:54. > :12:57.and experience is that people do ask for them and there are people very
:12:58. > :13:01.aware of the need to be greener, so we can get requests for them, we are
:13:02. > :13:06.looking to increase the Fleet so we can facilitate that properly. So yes
:13:07. > :13:09.there is a demand. Cambridge is now on the cusp of a clean energy
:13:10. > :13:13.revolution, the City Council is bidding for government funding for
:13:14. > :13:18.up to 40 dedicated taxi charging points. But access in this medieval
:13:19. > :13:22.city is proving to be a problem. Putting street furniture in the
:13:23. > :13:25.historic city has issues with it, we have chosen locations that are
:13:26. > :13:33.fairly uncontroversial for the 1st few locations in car park, stations,
:13:34. > :13:38.where aesthetically it won't be an issue. While air quality in
:13:39. > :13:41.Cambridge is broadly improving, nitrogen dioxide levels remain
:13:42. > :13:46.higher than the national average, at certain points in the city centre,
:13:47. > :13:53.and that has printed a rethink. This mother of 2 had too many school runs
:13:54. > :13:58.in the most polluted part of Cambridge. It's not nice, you can
:13:59. > :14:03.see it, smell it, I was driving a 4x4 and thought, what am I doing? I
:14:04. > :14:08.thought, there is technology out there and thought, there is electric
:14:09. > :14:12.cars, hybrid, why am I driving this? If the City Council gets its way,
:14:13. > :14:15.all of us will be looking low emission caps in Cambridge within
:14:16. > :14:21.the decade. The push now is to convince the rest of the population
:14:22. > :14:26.to drive electric so we can all breathe in cleaner air.
:14:27. > :14:29.Two people have been treated for injuries after a fire
:14:30. > :14:30.ripped through an Asda supermarket in Luton.
:14:31. > :14:33.The alarm was raised this lunchtime in Wigmore Lane and led to the store
:14:34. > :14:37.At least 16 fire engines and three aerial platforms were used
:14:38. > :14:41.Luton Airport sent its own fire engine to help.
:14:42. > :14:46.People living in flats nearby were also told to leave their homes.
:14:47. > :14:49.Rough sleeping has been on the increase in this region
:14:50. > :14:53.In Luton for example, at the last count, there were 76 people
:14:54. > :15:00.In Bedford the figure was 59, making them two of the worst
:15:01. > :15:04.In Northampton the figure was just 14.
:15:05. > :15:07.A month ago a new homeless shelter was opened there.

:15:28. > :15:33.move in. From the street, this place, yet others, has put his life
:15:34. > :15:40.straight. Even finding work now. I have managed to find a job now, they
:15:41. > :15:51.have referred me, I have met so many new people, it's been wicked. I was
:15:52. > :15:54.attacked, I lost everything when I was 50, everything went down the
:15:55. > :15:59.pan, it's just a rocky road and fell away. And before you know where you
:16:00. > :16:07.town. After 2 weeks here, now hoping are, you on the street. For
:16:08. > :16:17.town. After 2 weeks here, now hoping for a place on his own. I am going
:16:18. > :16:21.to bed and still working with these people, and try and get a proper
:16:22. > :16:27.place to live with and I'm hoping to give a bit back and come down on
:16:28. > :16:31.volunteer myself. 20 can spend the night, arriving at 9 in the evening
:16:32. > :16:38.and leaving 9 in the morning. Anna helps run it. Tends to be anywhere
:16:39. > :16:41.between 5 and 14 people a night, guests have the be working alongside
:16:42. > :16:45.the other agencies in Northampton so it could be probation, the Hope
:16:46. > :16:51.Centre, as long as they are engaging them they can stay with us.
:16:52. > :16:55.Beforehand it was derelict, a former railway worker site, transformed in
:16:56. > :17:02.its 1st 4 weeks, more than 30 have stayed here. The shelter is funded
:17:03. > :17:06.for 2 years. It's safe, it keeps them warm, it encourages them to
:17:07. > :17:10.communicate with the various organisations who are able to help
:17:11. > :17:14.them and we can move them on. In Northampton like most towns across
:17:15. > :17:18.the region, numbers of homeless have increased. The shelter, a place to
:17:19. > :17:20.help people in their lives back on course.
:17:21. > :17:22.Business and education leaders in our region
:17:23. > :17:25.are criticising the government's plans to expand apprenticeships.
:17:26. > :17:28.It wants 3 million by 2020 and is trying to do this
:17:29. > :17:33.by forcing bigger businesses to pay a tax to fund them.
:17:34. > :17:35.But while the number of people taking up
:17:36. > :17:37.apprenticeships is rising, but the number completing
:17:38. > :17:53.Gregory has always screamed of working with cars. Unlike his dad,
:17:54. > :18:01.he has chosen the apprenticeship route. I'm not academic myself. I am
:18:02. > :18:05.more hands-on, they were pleased I got this apprenticeship. He has
:18:06. > :18:10.managed to fight off the competition to get this apprenticeship in
:18:11. > :18:14.Northampton. And it is hoped a lot more businesses will start offering
:18:15. > :18:18.apprenticeships to teenagers like Gregory. The government's plans to
:18:19. > :18:23.expand the system will be funded by a new levy, or businesses with a pay
:18:24. > :18:28.bill of more than ?3,000,000 will have to invest in apprenticeships.
:18:29. > :18:33.Essentially, it's a tax, big businesses will have to pay Norburn
:18:34. > :18:37.5% of their total wage bill to the government. But will it actually
:18:38. > :18:43.create more apprenticeships? Phil Everly is going to use it for the
:18:44. > :18:46.existing workforce rather than recruit new apprentices into the
:18:47. > :18:53.businesses. With new princes they have to find the money for money,.
:18:54. > :18:57.Employers could employ somebody for a year, not give them a permanent
:18:58. > :19:01.job at the end of it or offer them only part-time employment. Last year
:19:02. > :19:06.in our region 46,000 students started an apprenticeship and member
:19:07. > :19:15.completing their apprenticeship is falling. In 2010, it was 76%. 4
:19:16. > :19:18.years later, it was less than 72%. So will again be perceived as a good
:19:19. > :19:24.option to go for compared with university? -- young people? I think
:19:25. > :19:27.they are in a different level, I know people who have left them
:19:28. > :19:32.because they are not getting anywhere. My little brother is going
:19:33. > :19:37.in for an apprenticeship. It's very useful if you want to go straight
:19:38. > :19:40.into the workplace. The government says that by 2020 they will have
:19:41. > :19:44.spent ?2.5 billion on apprenticeships and it's doing
:19:45. > :19:45.everything possible to make sure Princess gets the quality and
:19:46. > :20:02.apprenticeship they deserve. Also, why the war on drugs has

:20:45. > :20:53.becoming 1 of the most talked about strikers in the football league,
:20:54. > :20:58.with 11 goals in 12 matches. This sets the stage for this weekend's
:20:59. > :21:04.game at Kenilworth Road, Luton thumped Yeovil 4- 0 and have their
:21:05. > :21:10.own on fire struck, Danny Hilton scoring his 21st and 22nd goals of

:21:18. > :21:22.Luton and the fans right that forget that so this is a huge game for the
:21:23. > :21:29.Hatters fans. The same applies for the Boro supporters. It is perfectly

:21:32. > :21:35.Colchester, costing them a crucial to put in their promotion chase. The
:21:36. > :21:42.player ambitions of Peter Brewer suffered another setback with a
:21:43. > :21:50.comedy of defensive errors -- Peter Boro. Robbie Neilson has Microsoft

:22:18. > :22:21.he was back in the groove, jumping a season's best 2 metres 30

:22:44. > :22:46.5,000 years ago East Anglia was home to one
:22:47. > :22:48.of the most important industries in the world -
:22:49. > :22:54.It was mined at Grimes Graves near Thetford,
:22:55. > :22:56.where a new mine shaft is being opened to the public
:22:57. > :23:08.Hundreds of prehistoric flint mine shafts come to the surface. Now a
:23:09. > :23:15.2nd shaft here is being opened to visitors. But you will need a head
:23:16. > :23:23.for heights. It incredible to think this shaft was made about 2000 BC.
:23:24. > :23:26.The signs I'm looking at would have been exactly what the Neolithic
:23:27. > :23:37.miners would have seen all those years ago. They radiate off from the
:23:38. > :23:43.shaft in different directions... Work between 3000 and 1900 BC, some
:23:44. > :23:46.tunnels stretched for 60 metres. It's an industrial site because they
:23:47. > :23:50.were clearly getting the raw product outcome in some cases working in
:23:51. > :23:59.some basic shapes but it was travelling some distance. We found a
:24:00. > :24:03.green stone axe in here. It's incredible to think this shaft was
:24:04. > :24:08.dug by miners equipped with little more than pics fashioned out of
:24:09. > :24:15.antlers, this is what they were after. Flint Broadstone. Prize
:24:16. > :24:20.material. It is called after the cannon who expected the shaft.
:24:21. > :24:25.Greenwell excavated this bit in a syndicate to 1870, and there were
:24:26. > :24:29.later excavations by the British Museum in the night in 70s. But the
:24:30. > :24:37.public have never seen it? Never seen it. Flint used to be a prized
:24:38. > :24:45.commodity. Hopefully you can see and ex- emerging. For the Neolithic, the
:24:46. > :24:52.great change was the farming, the clear up of land, which you need to
:24:53. > :24:57.start thinking about is getting an axe into a handle for the 1st time,
:24:58. > :25:03.so you can do that. But underground, the pit will soon welcome small
:25:04. > :25:07.guided groups. They are concerned with the need to protect this
:25:08. > :25:14.historic relic for future generations. Time for the weather.
:25:15. > :25:20.Plenty of blue sky and sunshine to start the day for many of us, this
:25:21. > :25:25.was certain in East Cambridgeshire, is that they went on, we saw more
:25:26. > :25:30.cloud, and a few showers, most of those have stayed in more Eastern
:25:31. > :25:35.counties, but 1 or 2 are proving quite heavy and producing a bit of
:25:36. > :25:41.hail. But tonight, any showers will be isolated, some clear spells,
:25:42. > :25:48.underneath is clearer skies, out of the wind, we could see temperatures
:25:49. > :25:54.lower than these values. But I think it will be fairly patchy, actually
:25:55. > :25:56.start tomorrow, this weather front will push towards us from the
:25:57. > :26:02.south-west, but it has already slowed down considerably since
:26:03. > :26:07.lunchtime. After that cold start to tomorrow, it should be largely fine
:26:08. > :26:17.and dry, more cloud compared to today but some spells of sunshine,
:26:18. > :26:23.it could be a bit milky at times. We will have mainly light winds from a
:26:24. > :26:29.south-westerly direction. That is Tuesday, it finishes on a fine and
:26:30. > :26:31.dry note but as we had into Tuesday night, into Wednesday, travel
:26:32. > :26:38.increase and some outbreaks of rain moving through, some of it could be
:26:39. > :26:43.on the heavy side. The front responsibility on our pressure
:26:44. > :26:46.chart, it could drag its heels on Wednesday so on Wednesday, a lot of
:26:47. > :26:50.cloud around to start the day with further outbreaks of rain. Some
:26:51. > :26:53.uncertainty as to how quickly it will clear but hopefully the most of
:26:54. > :27:02.us it will brighten up, temperatures could get as high as 13dC. And then
:27:03. > :27:08.the uncertainty really sets in the end of the week, the moment high
:27:09. > :27:11.pressure is building in, another front pushing in from the
:27:12. > :27:15.south-west, Thursday will be fine and dry and again, we should see
:27:16. > :27:24.some sunshine and brightness, with the rain arriving during Thursday
:27:25. > :27:27.night into Friday. If all goes to plan, Friday is looking a cloudy day
:27:28. > :27:34.with occasional rain, still on the mild side. As we head into the
:27:35. > :27:38.weekend, it is looking pretty unsettled, some wet and windy
:27:39. > :27:39.weather expected on Saturday, on Sunday, blustery showers but feeling
:27:40. > :27:42.colder.
