:01:42. > :01:47.answered, but there will be a reduced emergency response across

:02:26. > :02:31.are angry about having to work until they 60 before they can retire on a

:03:02. > :03:03.needed at 38 stations in Lincolnshire and strike action at
:03:04. > :03:15.the majority of Humberside's 31 stations. It comes at the busiest

:03:24. > :03:30.display. They'll be hoping to avoid scenes like this, homemade fires in
:03:31. > :03:33.the run`up to Bonfire Night in Hull. It probably is about time to do it,
:03:34. > :03:38.but they do need to resolve some of the issues. It is going to cause
:03:39. > :03:44.able hassle, it might be a good thing. `` people. I think it is a
:03:45. > :03:47.bad time. Emergency cover is in place ` Humberside has trained 50
:03:48. > :03:50.members of the public to fill in. In Lincolnshire, the service will rely
:03:51. > :03:54.on part`time firefighters. Ministers have condemed the strike and say the
:03:55. > :04:02.pension deal is one of the most generous in the public sector. The
:04:03. > :04:06.principle has been there for some time. It also brings the fire
:04:07. > :04:09.service in line with the police and the armed forces, who all go until
:04:10. > :04:13.60. There is independent evidence that shows with reasonable fitness
:04:14. > :04:16.throughout their career, a firefighter can work until they are
:04:17. > :04:19.60. The strike finishes at 11pm tonight, and with no side showing
:04:20. > :04:23.any sign of backing down, another walk`out is planned for Monday
:04:24. > :04:29.morning. I'm joined now by Ian Murray from
:04:30. > :04:33.the Fire Brigades Union. Plenty of people watching in their 50s,
:04:34. > :04:39.digging the roads, plumbers or whatever, white don't firefighters
:04:40. > :04:46.want to put out fires in their 50s? Experts have said that under the
:04:47. > :04:55.reviews, it is a young person's occupation. The fitness standards
:04:56. > :04:59.required are not there from 55 visits to. Are we endangering
:05:00. > :05:05.people's lives if you're working in your 50s? Absolutely. The public and
:05:06. > :05:10.the firefighters will be put at risk by these ludicrous, it is madness,
:05:11. > :05:13.but the Government should be introducing these changes to the
:05:14. > :05:17.pension scheme. Firefighters will have to wait until they are 60. The
:05:18. > :05:20.Government minister has said firefighters still get one of the
:05:21. > :05:28.most generous engine schemes in the public sector. `` pension schemes.
:05:29. > :05:32.He would say that. I think the pensions of MPs are the most
:05:33. > :05:35.generous. A firefighter can earn a pension of ?19,000, after working
:05:36. > :05:41.for 40 years under these Government proposals. As evidence has shown,
:05:42. > :05:44.the majority of firefighters will not be able to complete this 40
:05:45. > :05:49.years so will get a massively reduced pension. Many people get ``
:05:50. > :05:55.not many people get ?19,000 a year pension, and that with the state
:05:56. > :06:02.pension goes to ?26,000. Again, I bit misleading. Firefighters who
:06:03. > :06:06.wait 40 years would get a pension of 19,000, increasing to 26,000 when
:06:07. > :06:12.they reach the state pension age of 65. Friday night, before Bonfire
:06:13. > :06:18.Night, how much support from the public will you have for this
:06:19. > :06:22.tonight? Sun`mac we expect we get the same support as we always do. It
:06:23. > :06:26.is the last resort, we have been in these talks for two and a half
:06:27. > :06:29.years. We have said, give us a pension scheme that suits the
:06:30. > :06:33.occupation. Kurram, the keep coming forward with a pension scheme that
:06:34. > :06:38.does not superstock `` currently. What happens if there is a major
:06:39. > :06:46.fire tonight? The Fire Brigades union has signed up to continued to

:06:51. > :06:54.Should firefighters be striking during one of their busiest times of
:06:55. > :07:01.the year? Maybe you think they should defend changes to their
:07:02. > :07:03.pensions? Your thoughts on the strike tonight.
:07:04. > :07:26.In a moment... Thanks for watching this Friday
:07:27. > :07:29.night on BBC One. In a moment. It was bombed 70 years ago but never
:07:30. > :07:35.repaired. Now, this historic theatre is starring in a film of its own.
:07:36. > :07:39.One of the leading figures in the arts world says he believes digital

:07:44. > :07:46.Peter Bazelgette, who chairs the Arts Council, has visited Hull as it
:07:47. > :07:51.bids to become City of Culture in 2017. As well as galleries and

:07:55. > :07:59.businessman has said could rival green energy as the industry that
:08:00. > :08:05.will regenerate Hull. Anne`Marie Tasker reports.
:08:06. > :08:09.You might not recognise his face, but you'll know his work. Before
:08:10. > :08:14.heading the Arts Council England, Sir Peter Bazelgette led the TV

:08:17. > :08:19.cultural and creative industries, including Platform Studios, a space
:08:20. > :08:31.computer programmers and game designers can use for free. Great to
:08:32. > :08:34.be at Platform Studios today, to meet the digital marketeers and
:08:35. > :08:37.games designers of the future, because they are going to have
:08:38. > :08:42.successful businesses, and we are just at the beginning of the Digital
:08:43. > :08:45.millennium. Hull as to be part of that. And the people working here
:08:46. > :08:48.are determined they will be. With his first game being launched this
:08:49. > :08:51.month, Louis Deane is confident Hull can follow in the footsteps of
:08:52. > :08:57.California's Silicon Valley, the home of the world's biggest
:08:58. > :09:02.technology businesses. When you work in technology, I have walked in the
:09:03. > :09:05.collapsed fishing industries of San Francisco Bay and I have walked in
:09:06. > :09:13.the food market and they look exactly the same, the only
:09:14. > :09:17.difference was in San Francisco, I turned in a different direction. Sir
:09:18. > :09:21.Peter Bazalgette also visited companies like Labelworx. Matt
:09:22. > :09:26.Abbott started the business in his bedroom. Now it's one of the world's
:09:27. > :09:30.top five dance music distribution companies. It's based in the city's
:09:31. > :09:35.Centre for Digital Innovation, or C4DI, where small compnaies can use
:09:36. > :09:39.Britain's fastest broadband. They can also get advice from big
:09:40. > :09:42.businesses like Sonoco Trident. Based in North Hull, it digitally
:09:43. > :09:47.produces branding for huge multinational companies. And its
:09:48. > :09:56.boss thinks digital businesses could rival green energy as Hull's boom
:09:57. > :10:00.industry. We have got to stop putting all our eggs in one basket
:10:01. > :10:04.and say there is a lot of digital opportunities in Hull. People are
:10:05. > :10:08.staying here, setting up as Mrs. We have a few of them at C4DI. And
:10:09. > :10:11.there are dozens more tech entrepreneurs who agree that Hull

:10:47. > :10:50.according to the town's MP. Nick Boles is concerned a review of NHS
:10:51. > :10:54.services is putting an earlier plan for the hospital at risk. He says
:10:55. > :11:03.the hospital is essential for people living in Grantham. People are not
:11:04. > :11:08.trying to hang onto everything as they remember it in the 50s. They

:14:59. > :15:07.Setting again just before 4:30pm tomorrow evening. Tomorrow, it looks
:15:08. > :15:10.like the breeze will pick up. By the end of the day, it will be quite

:16:18. > :16:23.preparing for much colder winters because of a decline in the sun,
:16:24. > :16:25.which could mean less windy weather. But the Lincolnshire`based
:16:26. > :16:28.weatherman John Kettley says the Government shouldn't abandon its
:16:29. > :16:37.commitment to renewable energy. More from our political editor, Tim
:16:38. > :16:41.Iredale. The stormy scenes at the beginning
:16:42. > :16:44.of the week were a stark reminder of the disruption that can because I
:16:45. > :16:50.extreme weather conditions. `` that can be caused by. But according to a
:16:51. > :16:53.scientist, we should be appearing for a different kind of climate
:16:54. > :16:59.challenge. It is claimed that harsh winters like the big freeze of 1963
:17:00. > :17:07.could become more common due to a decline in solar activity. We might
:17:08. > :17:11.need to warehouse somethings. We might need more power stations to
:17:12. > :17:17.meet the energy demands. All these things become more sensible and more
:17:18. > :17:24.economic role to do, if you're going to face many more cold winters. The
:17:25. > :17:30.research has been seized upon by anti`wind farm campaigners, who
:17:31. > :17:34.claim his prediction of more cold, Siberian winters, will see a
:17:35. > :17:43.reduction in milder air coming off the Atlantic. In other words, less
:17:44. > :17:47.wind. Melvin Grosvenor led a campaign which successfully blocked
:17:48. > :17:50.the development of eight giant wind turbines on the edge of the

:18:13. > :18:16.will have no energy, blackouts. With the French opinion on how to manage
:18:17. > :18:22.our future energy needs, I sought advice from a familiar face. There
:18:23. > :18:27.is no question of renewable energy because it will run out, everyone is

:19:25. > :19:27.afford a holiday in the school holidays, then they can't go.
:19:28. > :19:33.Children have to go to school. Fines should be trebled."

:20:00. > :20:02.Tonight, a short film based on a Hull cinema is getting its world

:20:07. > :20:08.artistic look at the history of the National Picture Theatre on Beverley
:20:09. > :20:25.Road. The cinema was nearly destroyed during the Blitz. Gemma
:20:26. > :20:29.Dawson reports. There was gunfire, a lot of gunfire in the sky. It was a
:20:30. > :20:32.lot of tracers going off. When the bombs dropped, they caused
:20:33. > :20:36.destruction across this city. One landed here on the National Picture
:20:37. > :20:39.Theatre on Beverley Road. Alexander and his two friends had been inside
:20:40. > :20:47.the cinema earlier that evening, watching The Great Dictator,
:20:48. > :20:55.starring Charlie Chaplin. We heard explosions going off. And then, we
:20:56. > :21:02.left early, I don't know why, but coming across by the park, we heard
:21:03. > :21:07.gunfire, very loud explosions. I would say that is when the bomb
:21:08. > :21:10.dropped on the theatre. Now, the events of that night in 1941 have
