Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Thousands of Vauxhall workers in Luton are waiting to hear | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
about the future of their jobs after crunch talks in Paris. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The Business Secretary held emergency talks with Peugeot | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
who are considering a takeover of General Motors in Europe. | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Vans being assembled at the Vauxhall plant in Luton. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
The van has a proud history of production here, but | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
looking forward there is uncertainty, as the French | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
car-maker PSA, which owns Peugeot and Citroen, | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
looks to take over the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
European arm of Vauxhall's parent company, GM. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
We have been here before so I think most people are | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
We are just waiting to see until something is | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
We do not know what is going on, we have not | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
They just said they will let us know when they know. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Last October I visited Vauxhall as they celebrated | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
50 new jobs being created at their police car factory in Luton - | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Today, the UK Business Secretary Greg Clark said he had constructive | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
But he made no assurances about Vauxhall's future. | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
If this deal goes ahead there will be plant | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Now, the question then is where will the axe fall? | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
The UK plant are very efficient but we have very flexible | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
labour market rules in the UK and it is very | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
easy to fire workers, and | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
also of course there is considerable uncertainty over our trading | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
relationship with Europe and whether or not we will be in the single | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
It is not the first time thhere has been worries over | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
This was the old Vauxhall car plant in 1999 shortly before it | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
The land has now been redeveloped for houses, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
This man was a forklift truck driver at Vauxhall up until | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
There was a contract come in and they said they had to get rid | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
I did not see Vauxhall as a job, I saw it | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
So I thought Vauxhall could do a lot for me but... | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
It has been a week of uncertainty for Vauxhall | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
workers here, and while the firm says it has no | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
definitive news to report as yet. | :02:35. | :02:35. | |
It seems that uncertainty will continue for some time to come. | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
It's one of the region's biggest attractions but tourism bosses | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
in Cambridge say not enough visitors stay overnight here. | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
They don't want more visitors but they do want people to stay | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
longer and spend more money in the city ad the surrounding area | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Capturing the sights in one Britain's most photogenic cities. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
More than 5 million visitors come to Cambridge | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
each year, but very few of them stay the night. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
And those who promote tourism here want | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
If people are only staying here for a few hours, which many do, | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
they might only be spending ten or ?15. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
But if you can encourage them to stay longer and explore | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
further, then you are spreading the benefits of that visitor economy | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
It is about value tourism, not volume. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
You know, we genuinely don't need more | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
visitors to the city, but we just need them to stay longer. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Tourism bosses think the key is to persuade | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
visitors that there is much more to see than the city centre. | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
For example, the historic Wimpole Hall | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
and the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, enough to keep you busy | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
So are today's visitors staying for a while or here just for | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Are you just here for the day or are you staying here? | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
So you are visiting Cambridge for the day today? | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
We just came down yesterday, last night. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Just for two days, but you are staying in a hotel here? | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Whether you are in Cambridge for a day or for three weeks, a punting | :04:24. | :04:35. | |
But are attractions but this just bringing | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
We have a very small restricted area, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
And in a small historic city like Cambridge, | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
I believe that this kind of tourism will prove ruinous. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
And that is the question facing everyone | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
How to grow the industry without spoiling this historic city? | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
For 20 years, the Kick It Out campaign has tackled | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
racism and discrimination in English football. | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
It's made a difference but there's still plenty to do. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
So Cambridge United have decided to start young - | :05:19. | :05:19. | |
with a new scheme in primary schools. | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
As times you can do it by yourself, but football is a team game, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
so you need everyone working together, and this will happen. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
I think it is very important everyone is equal in football | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
because if everyone is not equal you cannot have a fair game | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
and if there is no fair game it is not a game at all. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Wise words from 11-year-old Dallas at this half-term football camp run | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
We are really committed to this campaign and we all want it | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
to succeed and it is very important to us to give an | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
It is about fighting against discrimination and racism | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
and if that happens on the football pitch it is not fair. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Every one of the 92 Football League clubs host a dedicated | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Cambridge United's players, though, are going the extra mile | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
as part of their campaign, each of visiting 20 primary schools | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
All the girls out there who actually like football | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
but don't want to show it, just show it. | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
You will be proud of yourself when you show | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
it's been a big day for Northampton schoolgirl Ellie Robinson, | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
receiving her MBE at Buckingham Palace. | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
The 15-year-old won gold at the Paralympics. | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Today she said it was "amazing and quite surreal". | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Here's julie to tell us if the warmer weather will last or not. | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
It is a largely dry and cloudy night, under clear skies we mist and | :06:42. | :06:56. | |
fog. Tomorrow, any mist and for will take a while to clear and then we | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
are left with quite a lot of cloud but it should send an break and some | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
sunshine coming through. Generally into double figures. We finish the | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
day on a dry note with variable amount of cloud. I will leave you | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
with the output. Sunday and Monday likely to start cloudy and a bit of | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
rain first thing and then brighter spells than sunshine. Monday is very | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
mild. 17 Celsius possible in the sunshine. Not as mild on Tuesday. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Celsius in a few spots. Here is knit with | :07:38. | :07:38. |
