:00:53.:00:54.

the details. Good evening.

:00:55.:01:03.

Firefighters across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are walking out now

:01:04.:01:06.

at the start of a four`and`a`half`hour strike. They

:01:07.:01:09.

say it's over changes to their pension, which would mean they have

:01:10.:01:14.

to work until they're 60. Tonight, a senior officer from the Humberside

:01:15.:01:16.

service is urging people to postpone bonfire parties until the weekend.

:01:17.:01:22.

Sarah Corker is live at Hull Central Fire Station for us tonight. What is

:01:23.:01:32.

the advice to the public tonight? The message is to think about fire

:01:33.:01:36.

safety and to take extra care tonight. All 909 calls will be

:01:37.:01:41.

answered, but there will be a reduced emergency response across

:01:42.:01:47.

the country. Ash max 999. Firefighters are just coming out

:01:48.:01:50.

here now for the start of a five and a hive are a strike. `` five and a

:01:51.:01:56.

half hour. The Government says contingency plans are robust.

:01:57.:01:59.

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service said there was no need to cancel any

:02:00.:02:02.

kind of planned events, but the union has been criticised the timing

:02:03.:02:08.

of this strike. Getting ready to take to the picket line. ??Up to 80%

:02:09.:02:12.

of Humberside's firefighters are expected to strike tonight. A repeat

:02:13.:02:15.

of October's nationwide strike over pension changes. We have already

:02:16.:02:22.

been out of the doors once. The Fire Brigades Union told me firefighters

:02:23.:02:25.

are angry about having to work until they 60 before they can retire on a

:02:26.:02:31.

full pension. Can you still do the job safety, can you look at your

:02:32.:02:35.

colleagues safely? Can you perform rescues safely? The physical demands

:02:36.:02:39.

of our job have been proven and you cannot do that up until the age of

:02:40.:02:46.

60. Are you putting lives in risk? Sun`mac potentially. Retiring at 60

:02:47.:02:50.

` a firefighter can get a pension of up to ?19,000 a year ` rising to

:02:51.:02:55.

?26,000 with a state pension. Union leaders say those forced to retire

:02:56.:02:58.

early will lose thousands of pounds. Tonight's strike will see cover

:02:59.:03:01.

needed at 38 stations in Lincolnshire and strike action at

:03:02.:03:03.

the majority of Humberside's 31 stations. It comes at the busiest

:03:04.:03:15.

time of year for fire crews. If you're planning any celebrations on

:03:16.:03:17.

Friday night, you might want to postpone those to a different night

:03:18.:03:21.

for extra safety, or as an alternative, go to an organised

:03:22.:03:23.

display. They'll be hoping to avoid scenes like this, homemade fires in

:03:24.:03:30.

the run`up to Bonfire Night in Hull. It probably is about time to do it,

:03:31.:03:33.

but they do need to resolve some of the issues. It is going to cause

:03:34.:03:38.

able hassle, it might be a good thing. `` people. I think it is a

:03:39.:03:44.

bad time. Emergency cover is in place ` Humberside has trained 50

:03:45.:03:47.

members of the public to fill in. In Lincolnshire, the service will rely

:03:48.:03:50.

on part`time firefighters. Ministers have condemed the strike and say the

:03:51.:03:54.

pension deal is one of the most generous in the public sector. The

:03:55.:04:02.

principle has been there for some time. It also brings the fire

:04:03.:04:06.

service in line with the police and the armed forces, who all go until

:04:07.:04:09.

60. There is independent evidence that shows with reasonable fitness

:04:10.:04:13.

throughout their career, a firefighter can work until they are

:04:14.:04:16.

60. The strike finishes at 11pm tonight, and with no side showing

:04:17.:04:19.

any sign of backing down, another walk`out is planned for Monday

:04:20.:04:23.

morning. I'm joined now by Ian Murray from

:04:24.:04:29.

the Fire Brigades Union. Plenty of people watching in their 50s,

:04:30.:04:33.

digging the roads, plumbers or whatever, white don't firefighters

:04:34.:04:39.

want to put out fires in their 50s? Experts have said that under the

:04:40.:04:46.

reviews, it is a young person's occupation. The fitness standards

:04:47.:04:55.

required are not there from 55 visits to. Are we endangering

:04:56.:04:59.

people's lives if you're working in your 50s? Absolutely. The public and

:05:00.:05:05.

the firefighters will be put at risk by these ludicrous, it is madness,

:05:06.:05:10.

but the Government should be introducing these changes to the

:05:11.:05:13.

pension scheme. Firefighters will have to wait until they are 60. The

:05:14.:05:17.

Government minister has said firefighters still get one of the

:05:18.:05:20.

most generous engine schemes in the public sector. `` pension schemes.

:05:21.:05:28.

He would say that. I think the pensions of MPs are the most

:05:29.:05:32.

generous. A firefighter can earn a pension of ?19,000, after working

:05:33.:05:35.

for 40 years under these Government proposals. As evidence has shown,

:05:36.:05:41.

the majority of firefighters will not be able to complete this 40

:05:42.:05:44.

years so will get a massively reduced pension. Many people get ``

:05:45.:05:49.

not many people get ?19,000 a year pension, and that with the state

:05:50.:05:55.

pension goes to ?26,000. Again, I bit misleading. Firefighters who

:05:56.:06:02.

wait 40 years would get a pension of 19,000, increasing to 26,000 when

:06:03.:06:06.

they reach the state pension age of 65. Friday night, before Bonfire

:06:07.:06:12.

Night, how much support from the public will you have for this

:06:13.:06:18.

tonight? Sun`mac we expect we get the same support as we always do. It

:06:19.:06:22.

is the last resort, we have been in these talks for two and a half

:06:23.:06:26.

years. We have said, give us a pension scheme that suits the

:06:27.:06:29.

occupation. Kurram, the keep coming forward with a pension scheme that

:06:30.:06:33.

does not superstock `` currently. What happens if there is a major

:06:34.:06:38.

fire tonight? The Fire Brigades union has signed up to continued to

:06:39.:06:46.

climb. `` a contingency plan. We want to hear from you on this story.

:06:47.:06:50.

Should firefighters be striking during one of their busiest times of

:06:51.:06:54.

the year? Maybe you think they should defend changes to their

:06:55.:07:01.

pensions? Your thoughts on the strike tonight.

:07:02.:07:03.

In a moment... Thanks for watching this Friday

:07:04.:07:26.

night on BBC One. In a moment. It was bombed 70 years ago but never

:07:27.:07:29.

repaired. Now, this historic theatre is starring in a film of its own.

:07:30.:07:35.

One of the leading figures in the arts world says he believes digital

:07:36.:07:39.

businesses in Hull will bring both cash and creativity to the city. Sir

:07:40.:07:43.

Peter Bazelgette, who chairs the Arts Council, has visited Hull as it

:07:44.:07:46.

bids to become City of Culture in 2017. As well as galleries and

:07:47.:07:51.

theatres, he's toured the city's new high tech companies, which one

:07:52.:07:54.

businessman has said could rival green energy as the industry that

:07:55.:07:59.

will regenerate Hull. Anne`Marie Tasker reports.

:08:00.:08:05.

You might not recognise his face, but you'll know his work. Before

:08:06.:08:09.

heading the Arts Council England, Sir Peter Bazelgette led the TV

:08:10.:08:14.

company that created Big Brother. Today, he was touring Hull's

:08:15.:08:16.

cultural and creative industries, including Platform Studios, a space

:08:17.:08:19.

computer programmers and game designers can use for free. Great to

:08:20.:08:31.

be at Platform Studios today, to meet the digital marketeers and

:08:32.:08:34.

games designers of the future, because they are going to have

:08:35.:08:37.

successful businesses, and we are just at the beginning of the Digital

:08:38.:08:42.

millennium. Hull as to be part of that. And the people working here

:08:43.:08:45.

are determined they will be. With his first game being launched this

:08:46.:08:48.

month, Louis Deane is confident Hull can follow in the footsteps of

:08:49.:08:51.

California's Silicon Valley, the home of the world's biggest

:08:52.:08:57.

technology businesses. When you work in technology, I have walked in the

:08:58.:09:02.

collapsed fishing industries of San Francisco Bay and I have walked in

:09:03.:09:05.

the food market and they look exactly the same, the only

:09:06.:09:13.

difference was in San Francisco, I turned in a different direction. Sir

:09:14.:09:17.

Peter Bazalgette also visited companies like Labelworx. Matt

:09:18.:09:21.

Abbott started the business in his bedroom. Now it's one of the world's

:09:22.:09:26.

top five dance music distribution companies. It's based in the city's

:09:27.:09:30.

Centre for Digital Innovation, or C4DI, where small compnaies can use

:09:31.:09:35.

Britain's fastest broadband. They can also get advice from big

:09:36.:09:39.

businesses like Sonoco Trident. Based in North Hull, it digitally

:09:40.:09:42.

produces branding for huge multinational companies. And its

:09:43.:09:47.

boss thinks digital businesses could rival green energy as Hull's boom

:09:48.:09:56.

industry. We have got to stop putting all our eggs in one basket

:09:57.:10:00.

and say there is a lot of digital opportunities in Hull. People are

:10:01.:10:04.

staying here, setting up as Mrs. We have a few of them at C4DI. And

:10:05.:10:08.

there are dozens more tech entrepreneurs who agree that Hull

:10:09.:10:11.

could soon be dubbed the Silicon Estuary.

:10:12.:10:19.

The jury has gone out to consider its verdict in the case of a woman

:10:20.:10:27.

73`year`old Carol Sheridan is a retired headteacher who was living

:10:28.:10:32.

in France. She was last in leaving her apartment on Sunday. The foreign

:10:33.:10:37.

and Commonwealth office have confirmed a British national has

:10:38.:10:40.

been reported missing in France. Grantham Hospital should be put

:10:41.:10:44.

under new management if A and other services are threatened,

:10:45.:10:46.

according to the town's MP. Nick Boles is concerned a review of NHS

:10:47.:10:50.

services is putting an earlier plan for the hospital at risk. He says

:10:51.:10:54.

the hospital is essential for people living in Grantham. People are not

:10:55.:11:03.

trying to hang onto everything as they remember it in the 50s. They

:11:04.:11:08.

are survey saying, let's have a modern hospital, providing services

:11:09.:11:11.

that need to be provided close to where people live. And A is one of

:11:12.:11:18.

those services. The United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust says

:11:19.:11:21.

major changes have been taking place in health and social care nationally

:11:22.:11:24.

and locally. The NHS group responsible for organising hospital

:11:25.:11:27.

services said they're confident A will continue to be provided.

:11:28.:11:34.

The jury has gone out to consider its verdict in the case of a woman

:11:35.:11:37.

from Northland ager who is accused of stealing money meant for her

:11:38.:11:43.

disabled daughter. Cathy Watson from Scunthorpe denies four charges of

:11:44.:11:46.

theft and one of transferring criminal property. She says she had

:11:47.:11:51.

no knowledge of the family's financial affairs and relied on her

:11:52.:11:54.

husband, who has pleaded guilty of theft.

:11:55.:12:04.

Cathy Watson from Grimsby was only 14 when she gave birth to her

:12:05.:12:07.

daughter, Samantha, who had cerebral palsy. In 1999, Samantha received a

:12:08.:12:14.

?1.6 million compensation pay`out, that money was supposed to provide

:12:15.:12:17.

care for her for the rest of her life, but it is alleged that Mrs

:12:18.:12:23.

Watson and her former husband stole more than half ?1 million of that

:12:24.:12:27.

money. It is alleged that the couple still money that was intended to buy

:12:28.:12:32.

investment properties in the Eastlake incher, and overlapping

:12:33.:12:35.

blood either for some of the's anything. `` and eight Villa in

:12:36.:12:44.

Florida. Cathy Watson, who faces four counts of theft and one of

:12:45.:12:49.

transferring criminal property, maintains she had no knowledge or

:12:50.:12:51.

understanding of the couple's and actual affairs. The case was

:12:52.:12:56.

adjourned until Monday, when the jury will return to consider their

:12:57.:13:04.

verdict. 90 for watching. Still ahead on the

:13:05.:13:09.

programme. The golden boy is back in the city,

:13:10.:13:14.

missing his home fans I show this weekend. `` promising. I think this

:13:15.:13:21.

is that fight when you will see a lot more of me. Tonight's picture

:13:22.:13:34.

was taken by Michelle Simpson of Ashby`cum`Fenby. Thank you very much

:13:35.:13:39.

for that. Don't forget, keep the pictures coming in. Julie Donovan is

:13:40.:13:48.

with us now. How long has Paul been of? Too long! Two weeks. I have just

:13:49.:13:58.

got a message for `` from him. He says, I am messaging you on Facebook

:13:59.:14:02.

because it cost me 70p from abroad to send a. `` to send a text. The

:14:03.:14:13.

weather, a breezy affair all through the weekend. Tomorrow, the wind will

:14:14.:14:15.

be accompanied by some rain. On Sunday, we may escape with a

:14:16.:14:24.

largely dry day. But tomorrow's ring is down to this front and it could

:14:25.:14:29.

be quite heavy at times. The isobars will be tightly packed and it will

:14:30.:14:33.

be rather breezy. It has been cloudy today and there has been some rain.

:14:34.:14:37.

You can see the cloud on the satellite picture from the last few

:14:38.:14:40.

hours. There is still rain had there. It is starting to weaken now.

:14:41.:14:45.

Some of it will return North again, but it will weaken as it goes. It

:14:46.:14:48.

will remain fairly cloudy and damp overnight, temperatures falling to

:14:49.:14:54.

around seven or eight. The sun will rise in the morning just after 7am.

:14:55.:14:58.

Setting again just before 4:30pm tomorrow evening. Tomorrow, it looks

:14:59.:15:07.

like the breeze will pick up. By the end of the day, it will be quite

:15:08.:15:10.

dusty. There will be rain through tomorrow, so showers at times

:15:11.:15:14.

merging into longer spells of rain, some heavy. There will be some dry

:15:15.:15:21.

spells. Tomorrow evening, we could have a dry slot of weather.

:15:22.:15:25.

Temperatures tomorrow getting to around 11 or 12 stop but feeling

:15:26.:15:33.

cooler because of the breeze. Particularly gusty along the coast

:15:34.:15:37.

tomorrow evening. A windy spell of weather has the area of low pressure

:15:38.:15:40.

pulls away into Sunday. Very breezy overnight into Sunday. A cool start

:15:41.:15:46.

on Sunday, there will be the risk of one or two showers. But essentially,

:15:47.:15:49.

a dry day. The breeze, strong from the West. A frosty start on one day.

:15:50.:15:53.

A cool but fine day. Paul will be so glad you have told

:15:54.:16:02.

that little anecdote. I will bring him a present.

:16:03.:16:06.

A free pen of the aeroplane. Or a plastic cup.

:16:07.:16:08.

Anti`wind farm campaigners in Lincolnshire are calling for a

:16:09.:16:11.

review of the Government's energy policy after claims the UK could

:16:12.:16:15.

face a "mini Ice Age". Some scientists are warning we should be

:16:16.:16:17.

preparing for much colder winters because of a decline in the sun,

:16:18.:16:23.

which could mean less windy weather. But the Lincolnshire`based

:16:24.:16:25.

weatherman John Kettley says the Government shouldn't abandon its

:16:26.:16:28.

commitment to renewable energy. More from our political editor, Tim

:16:29.:16:37.

Iredale. The stormy scenes at the beginning

:16:38.:16:41.

of the week were a stark reminder of the disruption that can because I

:16:42.:16:44.

extreme weather conditions. `` that can be caused by. But according to a

:16:45.:16:50.

scientist, we should be appearing for a different kind of climate

:16:51.:16:53.

challenge. It is claimed that harsh winters like the big freeze of 1963

:16:54.:16:59.

could become more common due to a decline in solar activity. We might

:17:00.:17:07.

need to warehouse somethings. We might need more power stations to

:17:08.:17:11.

meet the energy demands. All these things become more sensible and more

:17:12.:17:17.

economic role to do, if you're going to face many more cold winters. The

:17:18.:17:24.

research has been seized upon by anti`wind farm campaigners, who

:17:25.:17:30.

claim his prediction of more cold, Siberian winters, will see a

:17:31.:17:34.

reduction in milder air coming off the Atlantic. In other words, less

:17:35.:17:43.

wind. Melvin Grosvenor led a campaign which successfully blocked

:17:44.:17:47.

the development of eight giant wind turbines on the edge of the

:17:48.:17:50.

Lincolnshire Wolves. He now supports other communities where there is

:17:51.:17:53.

significant opposition to new wind farms. If the wind is not blowing,

:17:54.:18:02.

we know full well where there is little wind, there is virtually no

:18:03.:18:06.

energy produced from wind turbines. If we are going down this route, we

:18:07.:18:12.

will have no energy, blackouts. With the French opinion on how to manage

:18:13.:18:16.

our future energy needs, I sought advice from a familiar face. There

:18:17.:18:22.

is no question of renewable energy because it will run out, everyone is

:18:23.:18:27.

sure of that. Whatever happens and whatever conjecture that is,

:18:28.:18:29.

whatever new science comes out, we are still going to need these new

:18:30.:18:34.

renewable energies. Weather we are facing a mini Ice Age or not, one

:18:35.:18:37.

thing that is unlikely to freeze in the foreseeable future is our

:18:38.:18:44.

household energy bill. And energy will be one of the big

:18:45.:18:47.

talking points on this weekend's Sunday Politics from 11am on BBC

:18:48.:18:51.

One. Guests include the Hull East MP, Karl Turner.

:18:52.:19:04.

We've had an overwhelming response on the subject of parents being

:19:05.:19:08.

fined for taking children out of school on holidays, which we talked

:19:09.:19:11.

about last night. Thank you for all the different opinions on this one.

:19:12.:19:16.

Janet in Beverley says, "They're not putting the children's needs first.

:19:17.:19:19.

The holidays are put in place at the appropriate time. I think it's

:19:20.:19:21.

disgusting." Jean disagrees. "If parents can't

:19:22.:19:24.

afford a holiday in the school holidays, then they can't go.

:19:25.:19:27.

Children have to go to school. Fines should be trebled."

:19:28.:19:33.

George sent us this text. "In Skegness, lots of parents work in

:19:34.:19:36.

the tourism industry and can only take time off work in school term.

:19:37.:19:40.

And of course, holidays abroad can be educational."

:19:41.:19:51.

We touched on this last night. A huge response, thank you very much

:19:52.:19:53.

for all of those. It is one of the last remaining

:19:54.:19:56.

buildings damaged by German bombs during the Second World War.

:19:57.:19:59.

Tonight, a short film based on a Hull cinema is getting its world

:20:00.:20:02.

premiere in the city tonight. Monument to Charlie Chaplin takes an

:20:03.:20:06.

artistic look at the history of the National Picture Theatre on Beverley

:20:07.:20:08.

Road. The cinema was nearly destroyed during the Blitz. Gemma

:20:09.:20:25.

Dawson reports. There was gunfire, a lot of gunfire in the sky. It was a

:20:26.:20:29.

lot of tracers going off. When the bombs dropped, they caused

:20:30.:20:32.

destruction across this city. One landed here on the National Picture

:20:33.:20:36.

Theatre on Beverley Road. Alexander and his two friends had been inside

:20:37.:20:39.

the cinema earlier that evening, watching The Great Dictator,

:20:40.:20:47.

starring Charlie Chaplin. We heard explosions going off. And then, we

:20:48.:20:55.

left early, I don't know why, but coming across by the park, we heard

:20:56.:21:02.

gunfire, very loud explosions. I would say that is when the bomb

:21:03.:21:07.

dropped on the theatre. Now, the events of that night in 1941 have
