:00:01. > :00:11.And we reached 31 degrees in some parts of our region today. I will

:00:11. > :00:14.have the full forecast. Good evening.

:00:14. > :00:24.The Deputy Prime Minister says people who don't believe in wind

:00:24. > :00:24.

:00:25. > :00:28.power to generate electricity are Luddites. He's been in Grimsby to

:00:28. > :00:34.open a new wind farm off the Lincolnshire coast, as well as

:00:34. > :00:37.announcing millions of pounds of investment for the industry. He said

:00:37. > :00:41.Britain is a world leader in renewable energy despite having no

:00:41. > :00:47.wind turbine factories yet - even though two are planned for this

:00:47. > :00:50.area. Here's our business correspondent, Paul Murphy.

:00:50. > :00:54.This afternoon Mr Clegg got an overview of an industry he hopes the

:00:54. > :01:00.UK can become a world leader in. He wants it to be bigger and the

:01:00. > :01:05.country to benefit. When you are in a global race, if you are in pole

:01:05. > :01:12.position, you need to put your foot on the accelerator and increase your

:01:12. > :01:17.lead. He had come to Grimsby to formally opened a new wind farm, it

:01:17. > :01:20.is generating enough power for 200,000 homes. But it is a source of

:01:20. > :01:24.frustration to the government that these giant machines are actually

:01:24. > :01:31.made abroad, with subsidy UK taxpayers. Ministers want Great

:01:31. > :01:36.Britain to get a biggest slice of the action. Strategy will require

:01:36. > :01:43.new turbines, a supply plan that will ensure more of the work is

:01:43. > :01:53.done. We are publishing more incentives for foreign manufacturers

:01:53. > :01:53.

:01:53. > :01:57.to do their manufacture in Britain. Mr Clegg said he was working flat

:01:57. > :02:00.out. It is three years since its Siemens expressed an interest in

:02:00. > :02:05.building a factory here but the company has been nervous about how

:02:05. > :02:09.much UK Government support there would be. The proposed government

:02:09. > :02:15.measures include a �20 million fund to offered specialist support to

:02:15. > :02:20.renewable energy companies. �46 million to encourage invention and

:02:20. > :02:23.innovation in the area of renewable energy. And a requirement that

:02:23. > :02:29.larger companies getting involved in offshore wind make a commitment to

:02:29. > :02:34.the UK supply chain. What is Centrica's view of where the

:02:34. > :02:37.government is sat at the moment in terms of support for your industry?

:02:37. > :02:42.We welcome the industrial strategy announced today. There is a lot of

:02:42. > :02:48.work that needs to be done for us to look at it and understand it fully.

:02:48. > :02:53.So that we can make sure we have the certainty required in order to start

:02:53. > :02:57.a large infrastructure projects. that is what you call a cautious

:02:57. > :03:00.welcome. This industry will want to think hard on the detail of the

:03:00. > :03:08.government support package before making too many more big investment

:03:08. > :03:12.decisions. I met Nick Clegg on his trip to

:03:13. > :03:16.Grimsby earlier today. This is good news. You want to be a world leader

:03:16. > :03:21.in green energy. Why do we not have one factory building turbines in

:03:21. > :03:30.this country? One of the things we say, we are setting out our offshore

:03:30. > :03:37.strategy. When, in future, bidders want to install new wind farms, they

:03:37. > :03:42.must show how they will help the UK supply chain. Can you force them to

:03:42. > :03:50.employ local people? Now. We need to ask them, what is your commitment to

:03:50. > :03:56.that local supply chain. -- now, we cannot. Why hasn't Siemens committed

:03:56. > :04:05.to coming to Humber? I hope they will. You hope or do you think they

:04:05. > :04:11.will? It is their decision. We are doing everything we can to make sure

:04:11. > :04:15.that Siemens project goes ahead. We need to work with Siemens to make

:04:15. > :04:19.sure that when they make that decision, it is a decision taken by

:04:19. > :04:23.the Siemens board in Germany, they are confident of spending millions

:04:23. > :04:28.of pounds locally here. I think it will be money well spent. I hope

:04:28. > :04:33.they will take that decision soon. It is reported that they want more

:04:33. > :04:38.clarity from the government. Do you know what that is? Tell a lot of

:04:38. > :04:45.these big deals are very complex in their detail. We are working with

:04:45. > :04:48.Siemens a day in, day out. We are giving them answers. We are giving

:04:48. > :04:53.them reassurance. At the end of the day, Siemens is a big international

:04:53. > :04:59.company. They must make that decision, comparing a investment

:05:00. > :05:04.here to other investments in other parts of the world. I hope they make

:05:04. > :05:09.the investment here. I hope it will be a yes. We are working flat out to

:05:09. > :05:13.make sure it is a yes and I am very committed to this. I have had

:05:13. > :05:16.several conversations with Siemens, I have visited them locally on

:05:16. > :05:24.several occasions, I have visited them in Germany, we are doing

:05:24. > :05:28.everything we can. You have been a great ambassador of turbines. There

:05:28. > :05:35.is still a lot of people who are very sceptical in this country.

:05:35. > :05:38.There is still a big job to do. You call them Luddites, don't you?

:05:38. > :05:42.every new technology, you get people saying, we do not want the new, we

:05:42. > :05:46.want to stick to what we know. I think we have to move with the

:05:47. > :05:52.times. There is a global race going on about who can employ more people,

:05:52. > :05:57.get more investment in the new green technologies. It so happens that I

:05:57. > :06:01.believe the new British economy, part of it, will be a boom in green

:06:01. > :06:07.renewable technologies. It is already a sector growing at 5% per

:06:07. > :06:10.year, more than other parts of the economy. Offshore industry could be

:06:10. > :06:16.worth �7 billion to our economy by the end of the decade, employing

:06:16. > :06:22.30,000 people. I want to see jobs created for people locally. That is

:06:22. > :06:26.why I am dedicated to it. Thank you. That was earlier this afternoon. Is

:06:26. > :06:33.the Government right to say it's a world leader on green energy? And

:06:33. > :06:43.are the people who oppose wind farms Luddites? Give us your thoughts on

:06:43. > :06:59.

:06:59. > :07:05.whether Siemens will come to our In a moment: Looking for wildlife in

:07:05. > :07:08.unusual places - the hidden secrets of our ponds and drains.

:07:08. > :07:11.No deaths in house fires in 12 months. A proud record for

:07:11. > :07:16.Humberside firefighters, who say it is because their message on smoke

:07:16. > :07:19.alarms and fire safety is getting through. But they are warning people

:07:19. > :07:27.not to be complacent and have highlighted how even an unattended

:07:27. > :07:31.toaster can cause devastation. Amy Cole reports.

:07:31. > :07:34.This is the result of a piece of toast that got stuck in a toaster

:07:34. > :07:44.and carried on burning. The kitchen is completely ruined - around

:07:44. > :07:45.

:07:45. > :07:49.�50,000 pounds worth of damage caused. If we had left that door

:07:49. > :07:52.open, the living room would be in the same state. The actions of the

:07:52. > :07:55.Mawston family have been praised by Humberside Fire and Rescue service.

:07:55. > :08:02.It says they responded in a textbook manner under very challenging

:08:02. > :08:05.circumstances. It took us 15 minutes to get here and get it under

:08:05. > :08:10.control. That was helped by the fact that the family knew exactly what to

:08:10. > :08:15.do in the event of a fire. They close the kitchen door. Dad did not

:08:15. > :08:24.attempt to fight the fire. It is those types of behaviour that helped

:08:24. > :08:27.us keep fire deaths recently down to zero. Humberside Fire and Rescue

:08:28. > :08:34.service says there has been no deaths from fire in the last 12

:08:35. > :08:40.months. In the school year before 2012, there were six deaths. The

:08:40. > :08:50.family said they feel lucky to be alive. Feeling a bit down, but

:08:50. > :08:53.

:08:53. > :08:58.relieved as well at the fact that all the family got out. Marvellous

:08:58. > :09:02.response, my older children who were upstairs who managed to get the

:09:02. > :09:06.younger sister out. For the Mawstons, it could be up to three

:09:06. > :09:10.months before they can move back in - a stark reminder of how an

:09:10. > :09:13.everyday act can suddenly get out of control. Amy Cole, BBC Look North,

:09:13. > :09:17.Hull. Parking charges are making large

:09:17. > :09:20.profits for some of our local authorities. According to the latest

:09:20. > :09:23.research, a surplus of more than �500 million has been made

:09:23. > :09:28.nationally. The three councils making the most profit from parking

:09:28. > :09:33.in this area include Lincoln City Council. They made a surplus of just

:09:33. > :09:36.over �2.4 million last year. Hull City Council made just over �1.6

:09:36. > :09:44.million and East Lindsey District Council generated �1.4 million from

:09:44. > :09:47.parking charges. The owners of a piece of land in the

:09:47. > :09:50.way of a major development in Sleaford could be forced to sell.

:09:50. > :09:54.North Kesteven District Council is meeting now to decide whether to

:09:55. > :09:59.force Sleaford town council to give up part of a recreation ground. It

:09:59. > :10:09.would allow a link road to be built, opening up land for Tesco, and the

:10:09. > :10:09.

:10:09. > :10:12.redevelopment of the semi-derelict Bass Maltings site.

:10:12. > :10:15.Passenger numbers at East Midlands Airport dropped to four million in

:10:15. > :10:20.the year to March, but it's claimed they're recovering this summer. The

:10:20. > :10:23.fall of more than six per cent is being put down to the closure of the

:10:23. > :10:27.airline BMI Baby last September. The airport says new routes from other

:10:27. > :10:29.airlines and a new base for Monarch should help offset the drop by the

:10:29. > :10:33.end of the summer. Today marks Yorkshire Day, where

:10:33. > :10:36.people celebrate the county's rich culture and heritage. However,

:10:36. > :10:42.according to one survey only a handful of public buildings have

:10:42. > :10:46.flown the traditional white rose flag. Campaigners are using the day

:10:46. > :10:53.to call for Yorkshire to be given its own parliament to strengthen the

:10:53. > :10:56.county's identity. More from our political editor, Tim Iredale.

:10:56. > :11:00.The traditional white rose flag has been flying above East Riding's

:11:00. > :11:03.County Hall today. It was here in Beverley where the first Yorkshire

:11:03. > :11:13.Day was celebrated in 1975, as a protest against the redrawing of

:11:13. > :11:13.

:11:13. > :11:18.England's county boundaries the previous year. We think it is very

:11:18. > :11:23.important, we are very proud of Yorkshire and I think many people

:11:23. > :11:27.call it God 's country. It is a celebration of all things Yorkshire,

:11:28. > :11:30.and we are proud of that heritage. However, a survey by a group called

:11:31. > :11:34.the Yorkshire Devolution Movement suggests that East Riding is in a

:11:34. > :11:39.minority and only a handful of local authorities will fly the Yorkshire

:11:39. > :11:42.flag today. The Yorkshire der evolution movement once more power

:11:42. > :11:47.devolved away from Westminster. There is a lot of discussion about

:11:47. > :11:53.this north, south divide. With the Yorkshire did evolution, we would

:11:53. > :12:03.want a similar structure to what we have in Wales at the moment, a

:12:03. > :12:06.

:12:06. > :12:09.directly assembly. Yorkshire and the Humber, which has now elected

:12:09. > :12:16.regional government, has a population of 5.3 million, the same

:12:16. > :12:21.number as Scotland, which has its own parliament. So, how do voters in

:12:21. > :12:24.Beverley feel about the idea of a Yorkshire Parliament? I think it

:12:24. > :12:30.should have its own parliament to promote Yorkshire itself as far as

:12:30. > :12:33.the guest of the UK is concerned. Yes. It is a big county. It is the

:12:33. > :12:37.biggest county in the whole country, so on that hand, if you

:12:37. > :12:45.think of it like that, we should have a say that goes on in the

:12:45. > :12:50.biggest county will stop now, we should not have our own parliament.

:12:50. > :12:53.Leave it at that. Proposals for regional government bit the dust

:12:53. > :12:56.under the last Labour government, but with Scotland due to hold a

:12:56. > :13:06.referendum on independence next year, the idea of home rule for

:13:06. > :13:07.

:13:08. > :13:13.Yorkshire may not seem so far-fetched. What's the likelihood

:13:13. > :13:17.of seeing a Yorkshire Parliament? This comes up every now and again.

:13:17. > :13:21.The argument is, a disproportionate amount of taxpayers money is spent

:13:21. > :13:24.on the south-east of England and having home rule for Yorkshire may

:13:24. > :13:28.retest the balance. It still throws up a whole new set of questions. Do

:13:28. > :13:35.voters want a whole new set of politicians in the current climate?

:13:35. > :13:40.Where would the Parliament or assembly be based? Leeds, Sheffield,

:13:40. > :13:46.Hull? Who would be in charge of it? Do you fancy that job? Prime

:13:46. > :13:56.Minister of Yorkshire? Should Yorkshire get more power to make its

:13:56. > :13:57.

:13:57. > :14:07.own decisions, a parliament for Yorkshire? Please contact us and

:14:07. > :14:09.

:14:09. > :14:15.tell us your thoughts. Still ahead tonight, the million pound lottery

:14:16. > :14:19.winners who almost threw their ticket away. I was shaking, my

:14:19. > :14:29.stomach was turning and she had to look at the ticket three times. She

:14:29. > :14:32.said, you have done it. You said you would always do it. Tonight's

:14:32. > :14:38.picture is a beautiful sunset at Freiston Shore near Boston. It was

:14:38. > :14:47.taken by Rose Ravenscroft. Thank you very much. Another one tomorrow

:14:47. > :14:51.night. I was too busy thinking those people had as much money as you. You

:14:51. > :14:58.were taking the Mickey out of me last week. It seems your clothes

:14:58. > :15:04.resemble household items. I wanted to say we have got a tablecloth that

:15:04. > :15:13.looks like your shirt. It is very dull today. I will wear a tablecloth

:15:13. > :15:17.tomorrow. It has been a very warm day. Up to 31 degrees in some part

:15:17. > :15:21.of the region, which is 87 Fahrenheit. It won't be quite as

:15:22. > :15:24.warm or uncomfortable tomorrow and at the weekend. Tomorrow, Danny

:15:24. > :15:30.spells but there will be an settled spells as well. There will be some

:15:31. > :15:37.showers. Courtesy of this cold front, introducing fresh air behind

:15:37. > :15:40.it. Fresh prospects for the weekend. It has been very warm this

:15:40. > :15:46.afternoon, you can see barely a cloud in this guide through the

:15:46. > :15:52.course of the afternoon. It is a lovely evening out there. -- barely

:15:52. > :15:56.a cloud in the sky. It will be quite an uncomfortable night. In some

:15:56. > :16:06.places, temperatures will drop no lower than 18 or 19 degrees, which

:16:06. > :16:11.is a little warm for son of us. -- for some of us. I think early doors

:16:11. > :16:15.it will be a lovely start to the day, but quickly we will see

:16:15. > :16:18.reversals of rain pushing in from the south-west. There will be

:16:18. > :16:23.increasing amounts of sunny spells and dry weather, but always an

:16:23. > :16:29.ongoing shower risk, one or two could be heavy with the risk of hail

:16:29. > :16:38.and thunder. It will be fresh, it will be less humid, though.

:16:38. > :16:42.Temperatures getting up to 22 or 23 degrees. On Saturday, and Sunday,

:16:42. > :16:48.temperatures in the high teens, low 20s. On Saturday, a mixture of the

:16:48. > :16:58.rebel cloud. The risk of a few showers. A few more showers on

:16:58. > :16:59.

:16:59. > :17:05.Sunday, and then rain in the south-west on Monday.

:17:05. > :17:08.Someone was complimenting you on Twitter. See you tomorrow.

:17:08. > :17:13.Water voles, newts and bats have all been filmed in unexpected places in

:17:13. > :17:23.cities for a new BBC One programme. Presenter Mike Dilger and The Urban

:17:23. > :17:31.Jungle team found the wildlife in unusual places on a visit to Hull.

:17:31. > :17:35.The water is lovely. Are you coming in? Bill Marsden spent tens of

:17:35. > :17:44.thousands of pounds building this swimming pond so he could take his

:17:44. > :17:50.daily swim with the marine life. You can tell the meals from the females.

:18:05. > :18:09.to go to the gym. He is reluctant to fly. I have come to a drain that

:18:10. > :18:12.runs through a housing estate a few miles outside Hull. I'm on the trail

:18:12. > :18:22.of the waterfall, and after four hours finally we catch one on

:18:22. > :18:25.

:18:25. > :18:30.calorie. -- camera. -- water vole. It was the most fantastic wildlife

:18:30. > :18:33.pond I have ever seen. It does not matter about the size of the pond in

:18:33. > :18:39.your back garden, you can think a bucket into the garden or you can

:18:39. > :18:43.have a pond that is large. The important thing is that you have a

:18:43. > :18:53.pond. I have a pond in my back garden. I have got nukes, water

:18:53. > :18:56.

:18:56. > :19:04.voles, the key thing is, do not have any fish. They eat the wildlife. --

:19:04. > :19:08.newts. The males excite the females by using their tail, don't they?

:19:08. > :19:13.They have a long tail with a crest all the way down and they squish it

:19:13. > :19:23.in front of the female, bigger your lover. They try to entice them into

:19:23. > :19:31.

:19:32. > :19:41.meeting. -- Gyle then. -- beguile then. What about these gizmos? Every

:19:41. > :19:46.bat is on a different frequency? Yes. We were very lucky. We went to

:19:46. > :19:53.a park in the centre of Paul, an area that is surrounded by hour

:19:53. > :19:59.cause of vision. It takes the echo location of where the bats are

:19:59. > :20:04.calling and opted to a frequency you can hear. The east Yorkshire bat

:20:04. > :20:10.group were fascinated to find they had soprano bats over the lake.

:20:10. > :20:16.Sopranos call at 55 cello hurts, they are more high-pitched. You can

:20:16. > :20:24.buy these gizmos? They cost about �150. We had infrared camera is

:20:44. > :20:50.in about ten minutes. It looks like a great programme. It is on in about

:20:50. > :20:54.ten minutes after this programme. More response on this story about

:20:54. > :20:59.the Church in Lincoln stirred that wants to stop people signing up for

:20:59. > :21:02.high interest loans by running its own credit union. Holy Trinity in

:21:05. > :21:08.It comes after the Archbishop of Canterbury said he wanted to see

:21:08. > :21:18.payday lenders forced out of business. Thank you for all your

:21:18. > :21:42.

:21:42. > :21:45.you for those comments. It's the lottery that nearly wasn't.

:21:45. > :21:50.A EuroMillions ticket, discarded, thought to be worth just a few

:21:50. > :21:57.pounds. Now David Long and his fiancee Kathleen MacKenzie are

:21:57. > :22:00.celebrating winning �1 million. Emma Massey reports from the celebration

:22:00. > :22:04.at their local pub. A very lucky couple from Scunthorpe

:22:04. > :22:09.- winners of �1 million in the EuroMillions Lottery. Kathleen

:22:09. > :22:13.initially binned the ticket, thinking it was worth �2.70. But

:22:13. > :22:23.when David took it to a newsagent to claim the prize, he found it was a

:22:23. > :22:31.much bigger win. That ticket could have been in the bin now. It is just

:22:31. > :22:35.unbelievable, honestly. He came home and told me. I was still in bed.

:22:35. > :22:40.would not believe me. I was shaking, my stomach was turning, I

:22:40. > :22:49.got her up, she looked on the iPad. She said, you have done it. You said

:22:49. > :22:52.you would do it. It is nice that it has happened to a nice couple. They

:22:52. > :22:56.will be able to do things they have dreamt of and never been able to do

:22:56. > :23:01.before. So what could this lucky couple buy with their �1 million

:23:01. > :23:07.winnings? They could of course go some way towards buying this, their

:23:07. > :23:11.local pub, the Mallard. It has four bedrooms, two lounges and a

:23:11. > :23:21.well-stocked cellar. There are some houses for sale here in the leafy
