For Good evening. Warnings of a pay cut for public sector workers as | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
part of one new North-South divide. Everyone in that public sector has | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
a pay cut and that is going to be devastating. The stalemate over | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
:00:35. | :00:35. | ||
cutting the Humber Bridge toll claims the maths don't add up. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
How a former workers at the docks are about to star in a television | :00:40. | :00:44. | |

:00:54. | :01:04. | ||
washers upon the East Coast. That all-important weather forecast. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
there are claims that teachers, health workers could see their pay | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
cut under government plans. Minister believes salaries should | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
be closely linked to wages and the private sector. That has prompted | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
fears workers will find themselves on the wrong side of a North-South | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
divide. The most public sector workers are subject to the same | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
rates of pay weather in the north or south. That could come to an end. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
The Chancellor announced that the Government is looking at salaries | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
being negotiated at will local rather than national level. We are | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
trying to make sure that p is clear and right for the local economy. | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
This was done by the last Labour government. It is a move will | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
caused by teachers like this woman. She works in a primary-school. | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
He must be either put in a pay freeze on people in the periods or | :02:16. | :02:26. | |
giving them a pay cut. Critics of national pay bargaining IQ public | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
sector salaries should reflect the cost of living in a place in the | :02:30. | :02:40. | |
:02:40. | :02:49. | ||
country. The average house price here is just over 93,000. The | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
unions are not convinced. We're convinced teachers are doing the | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
same job. It is important they are motivated and they feel they can | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
move to different parts of the community -- country. Following | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
strikes over pensions, the scrapping of national pay | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
bargaining can spark round to two and a fight between the unions and | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
the Government. I asked Kevin Austerberry from the | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
Royal College of Nursing why they were against the government's idea | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
the suggestion that local pay should be introduced in the NHS | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
came as no surprise. It is misguided. A nurse and the North | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
does not have the same living expenses as one and the size. | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
you look at what might lie behind us, it is clear the intention would | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
be to reduce the costs of staff in the NHS. We tried is back in the | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
1990s and it pushes costs up. you are a nurse and you want a | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
:04:17. | :04:18. | ||
house, some places are very expensive. We recognise costs | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
Theory from one part of the country to another. Some p have | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
enhancements. If you did an interview on our programme in | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
London, you have say nurses should earn more because it is expensive | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
to live there. We must insure the best interests of patients is at | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
the forefront. It is uncomfortable that introducing local pay if it is | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
intending to drive pay rates down is not acceptable at a time when | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
:05:07. | :05:10. | ||
health care staff are under pressure. George Osborne says it is | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
about setting paid which is fair and right for the local economy. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
if you introduce anomalies, think about what that means for | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
recruitment. If one hospital pays specialist nurses at one level and | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
the one down the road gets paid more, there will be a temptation | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
:05:44. | :05:48. | ||
for staff to move. That will secure the system. You have heard this | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
story. Should periods for public sector jobs be left to local | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
:06:04. | :06:21. | ||
economy? Should a nurse in the This is a subject that will be | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
debated starting this weekend, the Sunday Politics from 12 noon. | :06:30. | :06:40. | |
:06:40. | :06:41. | ||
In a moment, Britain's greatest living in just a -- artist. | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
The government's deal with councils on the Bank of the Humber to half | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
bridge tolls may not work, that is a warning from some backing the | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
change. The Chancellor said he wanted a �1.50 charge within months. | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
:07:11. | :07:11. | ||
There is little sign of progress. Has something gone wrong? In the | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
cold light of the new year, some serious questions are being asked | :07:16. | :07:25. | |
about the nitty-gritty of the deal. It is whether it can be made to | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
work in the long term as a sustainable solution for the | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
economy. The Government has written off half the debt. It wants the | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
councils making up the bought to come up with a financial plan to | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
manage their trunk. When George Osborne visited the bridge, he was | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
confident we councils would get back to him with a workable plan to | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
deal with their half of the debt. The Theory says that cutting the | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
bridge tolls and half, there will be a massive increase in the volume | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
:08:11. | :08:12. | ||
using the bridge. The problem is that this is just a theory. No one | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
knows whether it will work. This man as a campaigner on to bridge | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
debt but does not believe there will be a big enough traffic | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
increase. On basic maths, you cannot afford to pay �184 million | :08:29. | :08:39. | |
debt. There are other problems. It needs underwriting. It is suggested | :08:39. | :08:48. | |
the council's divide this. Up I want to make sure North East | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Lincolnshire Council has a fair deal. I do not see why we should | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
:09:03. | :09:04. | ||
subsidise other parts of the area. We have seen a few shenanigans. | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
There was another fine Humber sunset. Behind the scenes, the | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
negotiations to get the bridge deal to work will not be as pretty. | :09:15. | :09:25. | |
:09:25. | :09:29. | ||
Those are the concerns. Will those tolls behalf by 1st April? People | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
say there is little danger of the deal being withdrawn. It is likely | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
that tolls will be half and the coming months. The bigger question | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
about how to make this reduction work long term will still be there? | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
The row about who will pay for it is also going to get deeper. Three | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
people were taken to hospital after a crash that close to Major wrote | :10:04. | :10:12. | |
in north Lincolnshire. Two cars were involved on the A180. One man | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
was airlifted to Hull Royal Infirmary. Two others were taken to | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
hospital. A jury has started to consider its | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
verdict on the trial of five men of murdering Adam Vincent. His family | :10:29. | :10:38. | |
was at court today. His body parts were found in the water. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
A shop and Lincoln which sold fake bottles of vodka a containing | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
cleaning fluid has had its Algol licence revoked. Mouldy tobacco was | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
also found during a raid by trading standards on Finest Foods. Other | :10:54. | :11:04. | |

shops have lost their licences. Still ahead, workers starring in | :11:07. | :11:13. | |

Other than that, it is unsettled weekend. There is hardly a cloud in | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
the sky. There has been cloud on the coastline but it should melt | :12:34. | :12:44. | |

Temperatures will struggle. A variable breeze will come up from | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
the south-east. Where the fog lingers through the evening, it | :13:24. | :13:34. | |

As David Hockney prepares to open his latest exhibition about the | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
Yorkshire Wolds, campaigners have been fighting for years to make it | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which would limit what | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
could be built there. They are hoping the new focus on the walls | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
will strengthen their campaign. -- focus on the Yorkshire Wolds. | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
At times, the views of breathtaking, but for many, the Yorkshire Wolds | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
are still a hidden gem. But this man knows them well and once again, | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
David Hockney has found inspiration from the peaceful landscape. There | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
was a very, very good subject here. The landscape itself, which I felt | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
quite strongly attached to. If you are my age and you find a subject | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
that is exciting, stick with it. For this collection, he used his | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
iPad to capture the untouched beauty of the Yorkshire Wolds and | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
it is a characteristic many want to protect. I think it is absolutely | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
stunning up here. When you get on the top you get the panoramic views. | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
Steve Hey is hoping in -- hoping Hockney's latest exhibition will | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
draw focus to this area. Hopefully it will help protect against the | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
industrialisation of the landscape. This will open up the doors to | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
developers. Total development of the countryside. These beautiful | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
areas will be gone forever. others, the wildlife that thrives | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
here is a source of inspiration which needs protection. I love the | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
wildlife in the Yorkshire Wolds but the key to them is the grassland | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
valleys, a fall of wild flowers and orchids. At the moment I can hear a | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
thrush singing. That is one of the first birds of the years singing. | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
New York is difficult, London I find difficult, so I love the quiet | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
of East Yorkshire. On a day like today, it is easy to see why David | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Hockney finds the Yorkshire Wolds are inspirational, and campaigners | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
hope that by making this an area of outstanding natural beauty, they | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
can protect these views for the future. | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
Some fantastic pictures there of the Yorkshire Wolds. That David | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
Hockney exhibition is about to open. I have been talking to Gary Verity | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
from CPP -- Welcome to Yorkshire about the impact of David Hockney's | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
work on the countryside here. Yorkshire Wolds are the hidden gem | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
of Yorkshire. What the exhibition will do is draw attention to the | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
great things that visitors can see when they come and visit art great | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
county and I think East Yorkshire stands to benefit hugely from the | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
massive profile of the Hochmann exhibition. What is the Hockney | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
trail all about? It will give sides across East Yorkshire where people | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
can see the great man himself has painted his pictures, and see what | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
they look like in real life. It is about giving the visitor the | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
greater experience and the report on country while the other night | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
where Hockney was fantastic, the way he came across, explaining in | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
great detail why he had chosen the sites that he had done, and the | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
benefit to the visitor. Yorkshire Wolds have seen a growing | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
number of wind farm applications. How important is it for the area to | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
be recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Ceri can | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
be protected? I do not know that the Net -- necessarily needs to be | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but I | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
would say that East Yorkshire are already an Area of Outstanding | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
Natural Beauty and it is important that any development that happens | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
there needs to be sympathetic. you think this will actually bring | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
people into East Yorkshire who have never been before, to come to the | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
trail? Undoubtedly. Our experience over the last three years has been | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
that where we have done thing similar to this there has been a | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
massive upsurge in visitor numbers and I am sure East Yorkshire will | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
benefit from that over the months ahead. Thank you. | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
Let's hope that we protect those areas in the future. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
For Hull Marina is closed for six weeks because of maintenance work. | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
Boats cannot get in or out while repairs to the gates' seal is | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
repaired. A statute in honour of scumbled | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
steelworkers has been proposed for the town centre. This is a scale | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
model. The finished sculpture would be 17ft tall and made from | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
Scunthorpe steel. The group behind the idea is trying to raise �40,000 | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
and hopes the statue could be in place by October. We are working on | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
this as a project to give some recognition to the steel workers | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
:19:29. | :19:34. | ||
and their families. Let's hope that Scunthorpe gets the statue. | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
Hull City's new manager, Nick Barmby, hopes he has the signed to | :19:39. | :19:44. | |

Championship play-off position as they take on Peterborough United. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
They may have lost their last league game to this goal but | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
Saturday's Cup victory over Ipswich Town has given Hull's City manager | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
Nick Barmby the belief that his side Arab force to be reckoned with. | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
These players have as good a chance as any other team, as long as they | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
keep believing what they are to link, they remain positive, you are | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
going to set -- get setbacks but it is how you handle them. So far they | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
have done that well. I want to get better and better. I want to prove | :20:17. | :20:25. | |
to a lot of people what I can do. So if I have the chance now, I want | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
to grab it with two hands. Scunthorpe United return to action | :20:29. | :20:38. | |

not make it his FA Trophy date with The real-life stories of the people | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
who worked on the docks at the Humber port will be shown in a | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
documentary this weekend. It will be broadcast exclusively here on | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
BBC One in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The programme, called | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
How the Humber Changed our World, involves lots of local people and | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
tells the story of the history of the docks through their eyes. | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
You was either a strong woman or you wasn't. It made you strong. | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
was first shown in cinemas in Hull, Goole and Grimsby, and some in the | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
audience, like Jim Williams, had taken part in the film, to share | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
their own personal memories. There is three weeks' money. You have two | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
days. I knew so many of those | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
personalities that were filmed. They all put it across as it was, | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
to give our children and grandchildren memories of the | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
heritage of they grew up with. Brylcreem in my hair, three-day | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
millionaire... The film delves into the working life of the Humber | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
ports, through the good time when fishermen when it meant freedom | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
millionaires, to the troubled cod wars and the turbulent days of the | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
dock strikes. First-hand accounts, family photographs and amateur | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
video were all vital. These are the stories that people would hand down | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
to their sons, daughters and grandchildren. People generally | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
were very candid in the stories they were prepared to tell us. If | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
you look at the dock workers, it put their militancy in context | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
because they told us about how bad conditions were when they first | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
started. What we often get is the official sanitised version, the | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
story about the great and the good, and this one actually tells us the | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
story of working people. If you do not recall that now, it is gone | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
forever. There was so much interest in the film last summer that | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
tickets were oversubscribed and an extra screening had to be put on | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
but now many more people will get to see it as it transfers to | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
television. Jim hopes it will help more people appreciate the reality | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
of life on the docks. Looking forward to seeing that one. | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
That is this Sunday at 3:05pm here on BBC One. On BBC Radio Humberside | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
from 9am on Monday, there will be a chance for you to talk about the | :23:26. | :23:36. | |

She is a seal with a poor sense of direction, more than 2000 miles | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
from home, and less than a year old. Eve was found on a Lincolnshire | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
beach. Staff at Natureland in Skegness are using tracking | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
technology to keep an eye on her. With her special track of it did, | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
this breed of hooded seal is rarely seen around here. This one is badly | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
lost and in desperate need of good directions. They come from regions | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
like Ice land in the East, right across to Newfoundland and Canada | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
in the West. So she is one and truly lost. This particular seal is | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
thought to have been born in Icelandic waters. Just ten months | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
old, weak and confused, she has now been rescued from the beach here in | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Lincolnshire. Normally by this age they are really fat. She was weak | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
and underweight for so we thought we would bring her back. That was | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
when we noticed the transmitter on top of her head as well. Staff have | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
named their new edition Eve and have quickly discovered her poor | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
sense of direction has already been recorded by colleagues in Europe. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
She was first discovered of the German coast last summer and it was | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
here when the tracking device was fitted. She was then traced heading | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
north back home to Iceland but near Scotland things again went wrong. | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
She turned around and was found a few weeks later on a beach at | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Chapel St Leonards. To now guarantee has said return home, the | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
best plan of action is transportation. That means an | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
expensive flight and for that to happen, financial backing will be | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
needed. If it did come to that, we would probably be looking for | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
sponsors to help us do that but that is in a few months' time, when | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
she has been putting on weight. Whatever happens, he's still needs | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
to gain a further 30kg in weight. Wherever she goes, she will still | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
be fitted with the special Tracker, enabling the staff here to monitor | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
her progress and make sure that this time she is heading in the | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
right direction. It's the cost of transporting her back home would be | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
thousands of pounds but with a face like this, there could be shared | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
brought financial offers over the coming weeks. -- several financial | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
offers. If you have a story you think we | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
should know about, senders and Emap. A recap of the main headlines. The | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
Government says it will press ahead with controversial child benefit | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
cuts. There are fears public sector workers in East Yorkshire and | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
Lincolnshire could see their pay cut under Government plans. Any fog | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
patches would be clear to -- slow to clear. Otherwise dry and with | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
sunshine tomorrow. Response coming in on the subject | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
of local pay. Annabel says, having passed election, I was offered a | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
post of a prison officer but had to decline due to not being able to | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
live in Cambridge on �14,500 a year, the same had I think offered a post | :26:39. | :26:47. | |
in Hull, with a much lower cost of living. I support localised pay. | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Another viewer, at any pace in based on house prices will just | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
make the poor poorer. And from Clare, watched the number of | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
vacancies in the lower-paid areas go through the roof and standards | :26:58. | :27:04. |
