:00:16. > :00:21.Could evening. The headlines: a vote of confidence in Grimsby. New

:00:21. > :00:26.investment as hundreds of fish processing jobs are created. Good

:00:27. > :00:33.news for the port at that there bringing 250 jobs. Good news for

:00:33. > :00:41.everybody. Warnings that the cockle industry is in crisis because of

:00:41. > :00:49.quotas. People cannot earn a living. They are not even earning a minimum

:00:49. > :00:54.wage. Calls to keep the cost of insurance down for people in flood

:00:54. > :01:04.risk areas. And preparations are underway to move the carcass of a

:01:04. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:15.whale. And do not forget to join me Good evening. Millions of customers

:01:15. > :01:19.of one of the UK's biggest supermarkets could soon be buying

:01:19. > :01:23.fish protest -- processed in Grimsby. Morrisons has announced

:01:23. > :01:28.that it plans to build the processing factory which will

:01:28. > :01:32.create 200 new jobs. The multi- million pound investment is being

:01:32. > :01:37.welcomed as a boost of confidence in the town. Our Business

:01:37. > :01:43.Correspondent reports. Our appetite for fish grows up bigger every year

:01:44. > :01:49.and Morrisons want to sell more of it. Its investment in Europe's fish

:01:49. > :01:53.processing capital will mean the new factory and hundreds of jobs.

:01:53. > :02:00.We believe the technical skills are here and as far as supplies is

:02:00. > :02:08.concerned there is a great deal of knowledge in area. The announcement

:02:08. > :02:13.comes just weeks after another farm said it wanted to shed 300 jobs.

:02:13. > :02:21.hope that the company will come here and find a secure future. And

:02:21. > :02:24.that other suppliers well as well. Good news for jobseeker's as well

:02:24. > :02:30.like this former fish processing manager. Although he warns that

:02:30. > :02:38.competition for places has never been so fierce. It is a tough call

:02:38. > :02:44.to get into work here. Does this investment give you walk? Yes. If

:02:45. > :02:51.they're coming then hopefully other people well as well. The fish will

:02:51. > :02:56.be distributed to all 475 stones across the UK. In a town of above-

:02:56. > :02:59.average unemployment the sort of investment will always be welcomed.

:03:00. > :03:05.What will be interesting will be the response of other UK

:03:05. > :03:13.supermarkets. It could mean further investment of the same time.

:03:13. > :03:17.Karen's the fish market is the most obvious beneficiary. -- Grimsby.

:03:17. > :03:23.do not know the details yet but look for to building a relationship

:03:23. > :03:28.with the company. Recruitment for the jobs begins in the coming weeks

:03:28. > :03:38.and the company is not ruling out expansion and more jobs if the

:03:38. > :03:40.

:03:40. > :03:46.What is the thinking behind this Also poor markets are finding it

:03:46. > :03:50.difficult to get fish and their shells. -- all supermarkets. The

:03:50. > :03:55.price of diesel has a lot to do with that. What the company of

:03:55. > :04:05.doing is taking more control over its own stores by saying they will

:04:05. > :04:05.

:04:05. > :04:09.Whilst it might be good news for the fishing industry in Grimsby

:04:09. > :04:13.fishermen in The Wash say that restrictions on gamut of cockles

:04:13. > :04:23.they can catch arc stretching the industry to breaking-point and they

:04:23. > :04:23.

:04:23. > :04:30.say that things could get even harder. Jamie's boat has been tied

:04:30. > :04:34.up for eight months. He wants to be doing this. Harvesting cockles. But

:04:34. > :04:42.Fisher men reached the limits set by the fissuring -- fisherman's

:04:42. > :04:46.authority and now cannot catch any more until a new quota is set.

:04:46. > :04:54.Terrible. People cannot earn a living. They have not even make the

:04:54. > :04:58.minimum wage for the last 12 months. This is a lucrative crop worth

:04:58. > :05:05.�1,000 per tonne. But fishermen say that the rules leaves them

:05:05. > :05:12.scratching around for work and reliant on a few private contracts.

:05:12. > :05:17.With successful stock management we can provide a successful future.

:05:17. > :05:22.There is quite a lot of damage your but it is not purely problem. A

:05:22. > :05:27.cable has been laid here Connecting the Skegness wind farm with the

:05:27. > :05:36.shore. It has cut through a cockle bed and killed some of this year's

:05:36. > :05:42.stock. Anywhere from 800-1,200 tonnes. So they're coming back to

:05:42. > :05:49.cut through again which will destroy more. Another cable will be

:05:49. > :05:54.relayed by the wind farm owners in May. They say that because -- the

:05:54. > :05:58.dispute the claim. But they admit that it is unclear how many young

:05:58. > :06:04.cockles died. For many this is just another pressure on a struggling

:06:05. > :06:09.industry. The boats you see here a you shouldn't see here. They should

:06:09. > :06:16.be out doing their jobs at sea. At the moment their benefit claimants

:06:16. > :06:20.and their boats are in debt. Fishing is a trade handed down

:06:20. > :06:23.through the generations. But no fish are many here say that the

:06:23. > :06:32.economic pressures are so great that unless something changes at

:06:32. > :06:41.the industry is at risk of dying Coming up: why the Red Arrows will

:06:42. > :06:46.not be flying like this over the 115 people face redundancy with the

:06:46. > :06:50.closure of a well known haulage a farmer in Hull. Administrators have

:06:50. > :06:57.been called to AR Lunn which has been running since 1983 and

:07:22. > :07:26.women. They say that women with children at school could help.

:07:26. > :07:31.Calls will be made this week for flood insurance to be kept

:07:31. > :07:35.available and affordable for homeowners. On Wednesday government

:07:35. > :07:38.ministers, insurers, and local councillors will come together to

:07:38. > :07:43.discuss the problem of people not being able to get their house

:07:43. > :07:51.insured because they live in a flood risk area. Recent figures

:07:51. > :07:58.suggest almost 17,000 homes are at risk in Hull and East Riding alone.

:07:58. > :08:04.Wendy is one of the only 15,000 people whose home was flooded in

:08:04. > :08:07.Hull in 2007. -- nearly 15,000 people. Although the deluge has

:08:07. > :08:17.gone she is still feeling the effects. Insurance premiums have

:08:17. > :08:24.rocketed. Our last premium came to �750 pair in Year and �15,000

:08:24. > :08:28.excess. How can anybody find that? The floods left the insurance

:08:28. > :08:34.companies with a bill running into the billions. A deal between

:08:34. > :08:38.government and insurers to cover flood risk homes 10th next year.

:08:38. > :08:43.That has left many homeowners worried that they could be

:08:43. > :08:48.blacklisted by insurers. government must bear pen and decide

:08:48. > :08:55.who to support will communities. We cannot leave entire cities unable

:08:55. > :08:59.to access the insurance market. Despite fears many homes could

:08:59. > :09:07.become unsaleable this estate agent claims they still appeal to first-

:09:07. > :09:13.time buyers. It will have some effect but there are plus sides.

:09:13. > :09:17.You just got to lookout for other insurance elsewhere. When they

:09:17. > :09:23.eventually found the company to insular her for what here but is

:09:23. > :09:27.worried what will happen after that. I am really dreading that. Not just

:09:28. > :09:33.for me, but for all the flood victims. We had many sleepless

:09:33. > :09:42.nights and I had a nervous breakdown. I am sure this will put

:09:42. > :09:45.a lot of pressure on people who cannot get insurance next year.

:09:45. > :09:55.When they now lives with the constant fear it could all happen

:09:55. > :09:56.

:09:56. > :10:02.again and that she will not able to I am joined by the floods Minister,

:10:02. > :10:11.Richard Benyon. Can you be sure our viewers that their homes will not

:10:11. > :10:17.become unsaleable. -- can you reassure? We are working very hard

:10:17. > :10:22.to reach principles there will cover the arrangement that ends in

:10:22. > :10:28.2013. We want something that falls at which makes insureds widely

:10:28. > :10:36.available. People can get insurance right now but ideally what you want

:10:36. > :10:40.to see happen after 2013? That homes will take precautions to

:10:40. > :10:45.limit the effects of flooding, which many are doing. That is

:10:45. > :10:50.reflected in premiums. Government will be spending �2.7 million over

:10:50. > :10:54.the next three years on flood protection. We will continue to

:10:54. > :10:58.play our part in making sure that happens. And we want to find an

:10:58. > :11:03.arrangement so that we can announce in the spring to the insurance

:11:03. > :11:09.industry that insurers will be widely available. And also

:11:09. > :11:16.protection for those on low incomes. Are you close to that and will be

:11:16. > :11:20.insulins be affordable? Day is no arrangement on a affordability. The

:11:20. > :11:25.so-called statement of principles is just about availability, not

:11:25. > :11:31.cost. The recognise there are many people in flood risk areas who have

:11:31. > :11:34.the threat of the actual effect of massively increased premiums. We

:11:34. > :11:38.want to make sure government is still doing it spat but we also

:11:38. > :11:45.want reach agreements with the insurance industry to make sure it

:11:46. > :11:53.is widely available and affordable. Diana Johnson, a local MP, says

:11:53. > :11:59.flood defence budgets are being cut by 27%. Is that true? No It is not.

:11:59. > :12:02.We are spending 6% less than the last spending period but you

:12:02. > :12:08.spending it better. We're keeping an extra money from other sources,

:12:08. > :12:12.�72 million this year, we hope more next year. And the efficiency of

:12:12. > :12:19.what we're doing, we hope we can put forward a good part of the

:12:19. > :12:24.Government's part of the deal, putting money into flood defences.

:12:24. > :12:34.You might want to comment on this. You can get in touch using the

:13:03. > :13:13.swimmers ahead of the Olympics. And the challenge of moving a 30 ton

:14:01. > :14:02.

:14:02. > :14:07.Tomorrow will be a quieter picture, a ridge of high pressure means much

:14:07. > :14:14.less wind and it has been blowing a gale on the coast with guests

:14:22. > :14:31.into East Lincolnshire and North. - - cloud. It has been a horrible day

:14:31. > :14:37.again over the last few hours. The cloud feeding in, patchy rain,

:14:37. > :14:45.further north and west dry it with clear spells. A touch of frost in

:14:45. > :14:55.set -- in places. Eventually, the wind will ease. The high water

:14:55. > :14:56.

:14:56. > :15:00.A much better day in general, there will be cloud to watch out for in

:15:00. > :15:04.extreme south eastern parts. The risk of patchy rain towards the

:15:04. > :15:14.Wash and North Norfolk. Some sunshine and a light south-west

:15:14. > :15:15.

:15:15. > :15:20.breeze. Everywhere will feel less cold. The top temperatures:

:15:20. > :15:26.temperatures up to nine degrees in Gainsborough and Lincoln. Further

:15:31. > :15:39.dry towards the end of the week and getting milder.

:15:39. > :15:43.In matters to us sea dogs who you have upset! -- it matters. Too late

:15:43. > :15:46.to back pedal. See you tomorrow. They're one of the most familiar

:15:46. > :15:48.sights in the skies above Lincolnshire - and we're all used

:15:49. > :15:52.to seeing the Scampton-based red arrows flying like this. But for

:15:52. > :15:56.the rest of the summer season, there won't be nine hawk jets - but

:15:56. > :16:00.just seven - looking like this. It follows the death of two pilots

:16:00. > :16:02.earlier in the season. The reds will still fly in their traditional

:16:02. > :16:07.nine formation for flypasts at big events like the diamond jubilee,

:16:07. > :16:17.but for this summers displays only, their numbers will be cut. I spoke

:16:17. > :16:17.

:16:17. > :16:21.to Aviation writer Jim Ferguson This is a great shame, I do not

:16:21. > :16:28.think it should detract from the scale of the aerobatic team. People

:16:28. > :16:31.will flock in hundreds of thousands to any Red Arrows display so the

:16:31. > :16:37.main thing well before the members of the team to reassess where they

:16:37. > :16:44.are. Do you think This is the start of a scaling back of the Red

:16:44. > :16:49.Arrows? I would hope not. This country has lots of past Aviation

:16:49. > :16:57.icons, the only one we have got left is the Red Arrows. If anyone

:16:57. > :17:00.in the Treasury or the money- changers, keep their fingers out.

:17:00. > :17:06.Do you sent politicians might think now is the time to draw a line

:17:06. > :17:14.under the Red Arrows -- do you sense? The aircraft are getting

:17:14. > :17:19.older. An interesting question, you have to ask the Chief of the Air

:17:19. > :17:24.Staff or the Defence Secretary. It would be an unpopular decision for

:17:24. > :17:29.whatever reason. Hundreds of thousands see the Red Arrows every

:17:29. > :17:33.year, they are at the top of the world's aerobatic display teams.

:17:33. > :17:39.Even if the aircraft are wearing out, thought should be given to

:17:39. > :17:47.replace them and make us aware of the possibility but not for many

:17:47. > :17:53.years. They have had a torrid 12 months. Correct. The Bournemouth

:17:53. > :17:57.accident and the other tragedy. Not good at all for any unit of the

:17:57. > :18:02.Royal Air Force or military unit. Not good for the Red Arrows because

:18:02. > :18:11.the team spirit is quite remarkable, they are a team in the finest sense

:18:11. > :18:14.of the word. The goods to talk you. -- good to talk to you. And this is

:18:14. > :18:18.another story you might like to comment on. As always, you can get

:18:18. > :18:21.in touch in all the usual ways - the email and text numbers are on

:18:21. > :18:24.the screen now. Hull Kingston Rovers got an

:18:24. > :18:29.impressive win in the Super League as they beat Widnes 36-0 at Craven

:18:29. > :18:39.Park. There was also a win for Hull FC yesterday, as Linsey Smith

:18:39. > :18:43.reports. Former Hull FC coach Richard Agar

:18:43. > :18:52.was denied a return to the KC Stadium. The Wigan boss watched

:18:52. > :18:58.Hull notch up a lead. Will sharp increased their lead and it looked

:18:58. > :19:05.like they had achieved their first clean sheet in six years. But the

:19:12. > :19:19.Wakefield Wildcats 10. -- Hull FC. At Craven Park, the Robins got off

:19:19. > :19:22.to the perfect start with a third- minute try. Jake Webster and George

:19:22. > :19:32.Hodgson got their names on the scoreboard, the traffic was all

:19:32. > :19:37.one-way. It was Craig hawk who scored two of the six tries. The

:19:37. > :19:43.coach praised his side for managing a 36-0 winner despite some of the

:19:43. > :19:45.worst possible conditions, turning the match into a mudbath. Hull City

:19:45. > :19:50.face arch-rivals Leeds United tomorrow in their latest attempt to

:19:50. > :19:53.move back into the play-off places. The Tigers left it late to salvage

:19:53. > :19:56.a point at Blackpool after going behind at Bloomfield Road on Friday.

:20:19. > :20:23.Scunthorpe United manager Alan Knill says this month will be vital

:20:23. > :20:26.for their bid to stay in league one. Saturday's 4-1 win against Wycombe

:20:46. > :20:48.a good position for the last month. And a reminder that former Hull

:20:48. > :20:52.City Boss Phil Brown and Scunthorpe's former manager Brian

:20:52. > :20:56.Laws will both be on Late Kick Off this evening. We'll also be able to

:20:59. > :21:02.Three Lincolnshire swimmers are fighting for their place at the

:21:02. > :21:04.London Olympics this evening. Lizzie Simmonds, Katie Haywood and

:21:04. > :21:11.Sophie Allen are all competing at the Olympic Aquatics Centre in

:21:11. > :21:14.London for a place in Team GB. Our Olympic correspondent Simon Clark

:21:15. > :21:21.is following their progress for us. Simon, how likely is it they'll

:21:21. > :21:26.make it? If you go to the BBC red button,

:21:26. > :21:32.you can see this live and in 10 seconds will know if Luneside East

:21:32. > :21:36.-- Lizzie Simmonds is making it for the women's backstroke. Here it

:21:37. > :21:44.comes. The key moment, we will learn whether Lizzie Simmonds has

:21:44. > :21:49.been successful or not. It is one of two events we will be watching,

:21:49. > :21:59.we need to see if she will come second. In the 100 metres

:21:59. > :22:00.

:22:00. > :22:05.breaststroke, Kate Haywood. She did tremendously well in the heats but

:22:05. > :22:12.needed the qualifying time, she needs to swim faster tonight. This

:22:12. > :22:20.young lady, Sophie Allen has had a tremendous meeting, qualifying for

:22:20. > :22:25.the other final and goes head-to- head with TT tonight. She needs a

:22:25. > :22:29.fast race. They race will be on at about 7pm tonight. Watch it on the

:22:29. > :22:33.BBC red button. The rotting carcass of a huge sperm

:22:33. > :22:36.whale has provided an unexpected tourist attraction for Skegness.

:22:36. > :22:39.Hundreds of people have been to see the remains since the whale was

:22:39. > :22:47.discovered on Saturday morning. Preparations are now being made to

:22:47. > :22:52.remove it from the beach. Here's Simon Spark.

:22:52. > :22:56.Today in the wind and rain, there is little to see but sand. Despite

:22:56. > :23:03.the weather, what lies beneath has brought people here to take a

:23:03. > :23:11.closer look. Something, pollution which is doing this. It is really

:23:11. > :23:18.sad. A once-in-a-lifetime thing. We shall never see it again. How do

:23:18. > :23:22.you shift something like that? 50 ft sperm whale washed ashore on

:23:22. > :23:26.Saturday. It's believed to have died a few days before it was

:23:26. > :23:34.beached. Because of that, it was covered with sand to minimise its

:23:34. > :23:39.pungent smell. Basically, I saw this shape and I thought it was an

:23:39. > :23:46.upturned boat. As it got closer, the smell made us realise it was a

:23:46. > :23:51.carcass. Sadly, for that to happen, these things happen in nature.

:23:51. > :23:56.Experts said there were a number of things they could have happened.

:23:56. > :24:00.should have been in deeper water than the sea off Skegness. It was

:24:00. > :24:06.probably in the North Atlantic or Norwegian Sea where it is deeper.

:24:06. > :24:13.It would have been feeding on squid, they can dive to 3,000 metres. I

:24:13. > :24:19.think it would have been up there. That's my guess. Its 50 metres, 50

:24:19. > :24:25.ft in length but the real problem is its sheer weight. Estimated to

:24:25. > :24:30.be between 25 and 30 tons and that will be a real issue when trying to

:24:30. > :24:33.move it. A decision on how to finally move it is still to be made.

:24:33. > :24:43.Simon Spark is live in Skegness. Simon, what will happen to the

:24:43. > :24:48.whale's body now? Well, we will update you had three

:24:48. > :24:54.in a moment. It is a third night under the sky for the Skegness
