:00:00. > :00:00.arrives on Friday. Can't wait! That's all from the BBC News at Six.
:00:00. > :00:00.So it's goodbye from Good evening and welcome to BBC Look
:00:07. > :00:10.North. The headlines tonight. The smugglers targeting the Humber
:00:11. > :00:17.ports in the in the run up to Christmas ` and those trying to stop
:00:18. > :00:23.them. Chrysalis for the smuggler is pretty much the same for an honest
:00:24. > :00:27.person. There is a Bulova business. I'm live at the Port of Hull where
:00:28. > :00:29.officials are helping to keep illegal drugs and tobacco off the
:00:30. > :00:32.streets. Forced out by floods ` after the
:00:33. > :00:37.devastating tidal surge, the temporary classrooms set up for
:00:38. > :00:40.school children. The visiting team ` Hull City
:00:41. > :00:47.players make a very special Christmas delivery. I am not a
:00:48. > :00:56.football fan usually, but has made me more interested in it. They are
:00:57. > :01:00.lovely. Still Open All Hours, with the comedy favourite set to return
:01:01. > :01:05.to our screens next week, I speak to its creator Roy Clarke. Wenders c/o,
:01:06. > :01:20.I bought a while, yes. A stroll down memory lane and joy. That the cast
:01:21. > :01:24.follows later in the programme. `` forecast.
:01:25. > :01:28.There has been a rise in the number of illegal goods seized at the docks
:01:29. > :01:32.in Hull and Immingham. The Humber Ports are among the busiest in the
:01:33. > :01:35.country and ` in the run up to Christmas ` port officials say
:01:36. > :01:37.international crime groups try to smuggle larger quantities of drugs,
:01:38. > :01:42.fake cigarettes and counterfeit goods into the UK. Our reporter
:01:43. > :01:45.Sarah Corker has been out with Border Force and has this exclusive
:01:46. > :01:50.report. It's 6am at the port of Hull, a busy
:01:51. > :01:55.time for those whose job it is to secure our borders. The morning
:01:56. > :01:57.ferries arrive from Holland and Belgium and Border Force officers
:01:58. > :02:06.gather intelligence about who and what is on board. Target wise, we
:02:07. > :02:10.have a couple at freight, which the freight team have got and they will
:02:11. > :02:14.be addressing. Some of the arriving lorries are selected for closer
:02:15. > :02:18.inspection. I was satisfied that the paperwork matches what the load is.
:02:19. > :02:23.Looking for anything that perhaps is suspicious, doesn't add up. Kevin is
:02:24. > :02:26.a Dutch lorry driver. For him, illegal immigrants trying to get
:02:27. > :02:32.into his trailer are a constant worry. Sometimes, when you are not
:02:33. > :02:36.sealed in the trailer, people climb in. If I am caught and I don't know
:02:37. > :02:40.thoere's people on the side of my trailer, it's my fault. I won't say
:02:41. > :02:44.I'll get into jail, but you know, it's always my fault and you can pay
:02:45. > :02:48.a big price for it. It's not just stowaways. At this time of year all
:02:49. > :02:52.types of smuggling are on the rise. We have had a number of seizures of
:02:53. > :02:56.cocaine in recent months and there is a build`up of business. We do
:02:57. > :03:01.find we detect quite few large loads of counterfeit goods, of illicit
:03:02. > :03:04.goods from September onwards. We also find there is an increase in
:03:05. > :03:09.tobacco goods coming through in suitcases and in cars. Just in the
:03:10. > :03:14.last six months, five million fake cigarettes were found hidden in a
:03:15. > :03:16.lorry at Killingholme docks. A man from Hull was charged with heading a
:03:17. > :03:22.crime group smuggling illegal immigrants into UK. At Immingham,
:03:23. > :03:29.cannabis and cocaine, with a street value of ?2 million was seized from
:03:30. > :03:35.a Dutch trailer. For those with something to hide, this scanner
:03:36. > :03:38.takes an X`ray of what's inside. The scanner's shown that there is
:03:39. > :03:40.something unusual about this load, which needs further investigation
:03:41. > :03:46.and officers are now searching the trailer by hand. A sniffer dog is
:03:47. > :03:52.brought in to help. Paddy's trained to pick up the scent of drugs and
:03:53. > :03:56.tobacco. They can be in bumpers, the roofs, anywhere where there is an
:03:57. > :04:00.actual space, where you can fit something in, that's where smugglers
:04:01. > :04:05.will hide something. They have found heroin, cocaine, amphetamine,
:04:06. > :04:10.ecstasy. Checks done, and nothing illegal is found but I was shown the
:04:11. > :04:12.goods seized in the past two days. We've got tobacco cigarettes.
:04:13. > :04:18.Prohibited items here, knuckle`dusters, four or five flick
:04:19. > :04:22.knives, telescopic batons. We don't want those kind of items on our
:04:23. > :04:26.streets. Every day hundreds of security checks on foot passengers,
:04:27. > :04:34.cars and lorries, stem the tide of illegal and dangerous goods getting
:04:35. > :04:38.through the Humber ports. Sarah Corker is live in the port of
:04:39. > :04:41.Hull tonight. It's a busy time of year as we've heard, have the
:04:42. > :04:49.authorities got the resources to cope? It is impossible to check
:04:50. > :04:54.every car and lorry here. This very is about to make the overnight
:04:55. > :04:57.sailing to Rotterdam. What the authorities will lie on is good
:04:58. > :05:02.intelligence to control what comes in and out of the UK. They are
:05:03. > :05:08.asking drivers to report anything suspicious they see at the docks.
:05:09. > :05:11.Last week, a report by MPs criticised the border force popular
:05:12. > :05:15.staffing levels and for not making another checks on lorries. Instead,
:05:16. > :05:19.prioritise and checks on passengers. There is only one
:05:20. > :05:25.freight scanner shared by the ports of call and Immingham. They found
:05:26. > :05:29.staff are good at finding illegal drugs, but also says they need to
:05:30. > :05:35.have more prosecutions of smugglers to act as a deterrent. Thank you
:05:36. > :05:39.very much. You might have a view on this story,
:05:40. > :05:41.are the authorities right to be targeting the large scale smugglers
:05:42. > :05:44.or maybe you think everyone should be searched who goes through our
:05:45. > :05:47.ports? Email: looknorth@bbc.co.uk, text: 81333 looknorth, you will be
:05:48. > :06:01.charged at your standard message rate for each message.
:06:02. > :06:19.In a moment: Forced to work for no pay ` claims that "slavery gangs"
:06:20. > :06:22.are operating in Lincolnshire. Almost a 100 school children will be
:06:23. > :06:25.out of their classrooms for several weeks after the tidal surge damaged
:06:26. > :06:28.school buildings. Pupils from the Gunness and Burringham Primary
:06:29. > :06:31.Schools near Scunthorpe are facing a journey of five miles to lessons
:06:32. > :06:38.until the damage can be repaired. Simon Spark has more. The water had
:06:39. > :06:47.gushed over, straight down here and taking all the equipment with it and
:06:48. > :06:51.brought the stilton sludge. It has left a total devastation. Every
:06:52. > :07:02.single corner of every single classroom was two inches underwater
:07:03. > :07:06.at the Burringham free. I am very emotional, because it is a school we
:07:07. > :07:15.built, what Ross from a small school and has grown. It is devastating the
:07:16. > :07:20.impact it has halved. You can see a skip of items used by children. The
:07:21. > :07:25.estimates at the moment are the building work which need to be
:07:26. > :07:30.carried out as ?100,000. 21 schools were closed because of the schools,
:07:31. > :07:36.nine in Hull, aid in Lincolnshire, and for an easy riding. All have now
:07:37. > :07:42.reopened, and only this one has fully relocated to carry on is
:07:43. > :07:46.education `` eight. Today, this school reopens but in a different
:07:47. > :07:50.temporary location in Scunthorpe. The site was a previously closed
:07:51. > :07:56.primary school, but quickly adapted to get Almighty for children back
:07:57. > :08:07.into lessons. It is upsetting to hear `` all 92. I have been doing a
:08:08. > :08:11.better bet. My clozapine boxed up. At the time the flood this should
:08:12. > :08:21.school should have been performing its Christmas production `` cloves
:08:22. > :08:24.that rather . People in Hull whose homes were
:08:25. > :08:28.flooded will get reductions in their council tax while their homes are
:08:29. > :08:32.repaired. Residents will receive a 50% reduction while the living area
:08:33. > :08:35.of their property is under repair. Companies which have ceased trading
:08:36. > :08:37.because of the flooding are eligible for exemptions from Business Rates.
:08:38. > :08:39.Those still trading can apply for discretionary relief.
:08:40. > :08:43.Liberal Democrat councillors in Hull have written to the government
:08:44. > :08:47.asking for improvements to the A63 in the city to be made earlier. The
:08:48. > :08:50.work is planned to start in 2016 and take four years. Councillors say
:08:51. > :09:02.moving it forward would boost the local economy and create jobs ahead
:09:03. > :09:05.of Hull becoming City of Culture. Firefighters will take part in three
:09:06. > :09:09.more strikes planned for the Christmas period over disputes and
:09:10. > :09:12.pensions. The union has announced the action will take place on
:09:13. > :09:16.Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and also January the 3rd.
:09:17. > :09:19.On the day the government publishes plans for tougher sanctions to
:09:20. > :09:21.tackle modern slavery and human trafficking, there have been claims
:09:22. > :09:26.that "slavery gangs" are operating in Lincolnshire. One church says it
:09:27. > :09:32.has offered sanctuary to six victims of slavery in the last 18 months.
:09:33. > :09:35.Jake Zuckerman reports. Across Lincolnshire, victims of
:09:36. > :09:41.modern day slavery inhabit a twilight world of exploitation.
:09:42. > :09:46.Peter was sleeping rough when he says he was offered accommodation
:09:47. > :09:49.and paid work. But the money never materialised and he was held against
:09:50. > :09:59.his will. We've disguised his identity to protect him. Their way
:10:00. > :10:06.of control it was through fear and B did not prove weight, I witnessed
:10:07. > :10:10.people being beaten. It was actually done for new people like myself.
:10:11. > :10:13.They were saying this is what happens. At St Mary Le Wigford
:10:14. > :10:16.church in Lincoln, they offer support for the most vulnerable in
:10:17. > :10:22.society. Over the last 18 months the church has given sanctuary to six
:10:23. > :10:26.people escaping from forced labour. I've had one or two of the gang
:10:27. > :10:32.masters expressed dissatisfaction with me when I'm giving Santry to
:10:33. > :10:39.people. We have had one to on our front door. On the whole, it has
:10:40. > :10:43.been very good for them to come. We are able to move them on out into
:10:44. > :10:46.places of safety very quickly. Today the government unveiled plans for
:10:47. > :10:53.new laws to crack down on the criminals responsible. Modern
:10:54. > :10:57.slavery is an awful crime, and too many victims in the UK. This bill is
:10:58. > :11:02.enabling us to get other on the slave drivers and the perpetrators
:11:03. > :11:09.of these crimes, so we will increase sentences for those convicted of his
:11:10. > :11:11.crimes, be it a life sentence. Here community workers welcome the
:11:12. > :11:17.government's commitment to clamp down on one day slavery, and hope
:11:18. > :11:26.the new legislation will put an end to this form of exploitation once
:11:27. > :11:29.and for all. Thank you for watching. Still ahead tonight: Lincolnshire
:11:30. > :11:37.air ambulance taking off from RAF Waddington.
:11:38. > :11:48.I will be talking to the writer of open all hours. And why these Hull
:11:49. > :12:08.City players are paid a visit. From Phil Sellars. This picture is
:12:09. > :12:12.fantastic. We are going to Malaga for Christmas. Can Paul do an
:12:13. > :12:28.accurate Spanish forecast? From moniker? There no chance for
:12:29. > :12:32.spraying. `` Spain. Here it will be unsettled. Tomorrow looks to be the
:12:33. > :12:44.best day of the week. The winds will strengthen and rainbow heading. ``
:12:45. > :12:48.rain will. There has been a lot of clouds on the satellite picture and
:12:49. > :12:53.it has also been mild indeed. Temperatures were 13 and 15 degrees
:12:54. > :12:56.this morning. They had been sliding away this afternoon, but there will
:12:57. > :12:59.be a lot club this evening and overnight. That cloud picking up
:13:00. > :13:03.some rain, across central and southern part of Lincolnshire.
:13:04. > :13:09.Further north, one of two showers, but the skies will clear. It may
:13:10. > :13:16.lead to a ground frost. Watch out for the risk of one to icy patches,
:13:17. > :13:28.over the ground. The sun rises at 8:14am. So, and I stayed tomorrow.
:13:29. > :13:32.There could be a patch of fog. Watch out for icy patches, otherwise it is
:13:33. > :13:37.dry with a good deal of sunshine, although cloud might increase. It is
:13:38. > :13:43.a lovely day. The breeze is moderate. Let's have a look at
:13:44. > :13:49.them. Top temperatures coming in at six elders in the afternoon, just a
:13:50. > :13:53.little below average for December. For Wednesday, it becomes
:13:54. > :13:59.increasingly windy. The risk of gales by the end of the day. A fine
:14:00. > :14:03.start, rain had name. Heavy rain when night. Thursday mostly dried,
:14:04. > :14:09.some sunshine and strong winds return on Friday. That won't be till
:14:10. > :14:17.after dark on Friday. Peter, that is the weather. Peter gives a concise
:14:18. > :14:25.summary of the weather. Do we need a weather by at all? We have been at
:14:26. > :14:35.enough for some time. Don't you forget it. It was voted one of the
:14:36. > :14:38.best sitcoms of all time and now Open All Hours returns for a special
:14:39. > :14:42.episode over Christmas after a nearly 30 year absence. David Jason
:14:43. > :14:45.stars as the shopkeeper, originally of course Arkwright played by Ronnie
:14:46. > :14:47.Barker. The show was written by Roy Clarke who was also behind Last of
:14:48. > :14:50.The Summer Wine. of course Arkwright played by Ronnie
:14:51. > :14:57.Barker. We'll hear from Roy in a moment but first Tolu Adeoye has
:14:58. > :15:03.this report. It's an all`time British comedy
:15:04. > :15:06.favourite. For years Open All Hours brought laughs from a small grocer's
:15:07. > :15:16.shop in Balby in Doncaster ` to living rooms across the country. Roy
:15:17. > :15:19.Clarke first penned the sitcom in the 70s. The series took viewers
:15:20. > :15:22.into the life of Arkwright, a middle`aged grocer with a stammer `
:15:23. > :15:25.his nephew and long suffering errand boy Granville, and the object of
:15:26. > :15:28.Arwright's desire district nurse Gladys. Roy Clarke, had already
:15:29. > :15:36.created hit Yorkshire`based sitcom in Last of the Summer Wine when he
:15:37. > :15:43.first penned Open All Hours in 70s. It kind of brings people's memories
:15:44. > :15:50.back. Corner shops for a mass part, thickly in the North. They're still
:15:51. > :15:54.around. I think they believe another time is gone by, and it has created
:15:55. > :16:01.the classic status that they will bring it back for a new generation.
:16:02. > :16:04.He's written the highly anticipated one off special which airs this
:16:05. > :16:11.boxing day. In the new episode David Jason reprises the role of Granville
:16:12. > :16:16.now running the shop with his son. At least Granville is back in his
:16:17. > :16:19.penny. Ronnie Barker died eight years ago, but Roy says Arkwright's
:16:20. > :16:23.legacy will be felt in the special and he hopes it will give everyone
:16:24. > :16:25.watching an enjoyable half our of classic television over Christmas.
:16:26. > :16:29.It looks great. This afternoon I went to meet Roy Clarke at his home
:16:30. > :16:32.near Thorne in South Yorkshire. What are the basic ingredients, then
:16:33. > :16:35.Roy, of Open All Hours, which made it a massive hit? I think it is a
:16:36. > :16:40.balmy little self`contained universe. To me, its appeal came
:16:41. > :16:44.from the same region as musical and variety, because basically that shop
:16:45. > :16:57.is a stage, and people come in and do their thing and off they go
:16:58. > :17:01.again. I have a script here for Still Open All Hours for Boxing Day.
:17:02. > :17:04.Was is exciting to this one? Absolutely, because I thought of
:17:05. > :17:11.myself retired. I reconnected with the business. When this came up, I
:17:12. > :17:17.thought wow, yes. A stroll down memory lane and a joy. Tell me about
:17:18. > :17:22.the shop. It is still there in real life. What is it today? It is a
:17:23. > :17:31.hairdressers. It is still a hairdressers, just as it was,
:17:32. > :17:34.modernised a bit since 1983. What a stroke of luck, that it A, it is
:17:35. > :17:42.still there, and B, they are prepared to let us faff it about.
:17:43. > :17:49.Does the hairdressers close a couple of days while you do the filming?
:17:50. > :17:53.Yes. As they did in the original. As well as Open All Hours, you have
:17:54. > :17:56.done our biggest comedies, including Summer Wine, the longest running
:17:57. > :17:59.comedy in history. Which is your favourite? Open All Hours is well up
:18:00. > :18:04.there. There are aspects of the Summer Wine which I am fond of, but
:18:05. > :18:07.Open All Hours, how could you get a cast like Ronnie Barker and David
:18:08. > :18:15.Jason together again, it would never happen. It was a pure fluke. I'm
:18:16. > :18:20.just looking at the script. Are you happy. Is it a hit? I have never any
:18:21. > :18:24.idea whether it is a hit, never, ever. I have to wait for the
:18:25. > :18:28.audience, for the viewers to tell me. But if they say, Roy, this is
:18:29. > :18:38.fantastic. There were great fixures Boxing Day, write a series. Sure,
:18:39. > :18:43.sure. You would do it? Absolutely. David Jason, what a star. How did
:18:44. > :18:49.you manage without Ronnie? We don't know yet. That is the big? Over the
:18:50. > :18:57.whole thing. That massive absence. Can we compensate? We'll see. I had
:18:58. > :19:03.a little part in Summer Wine. Everybody had a part. If you write a
:19:04. > :19:15.series, maybe you'll write a part for me. It is a deal. It's a deal?
:19:16. > :19:21.If you have any influence, use it. If I can get you a series?. Yes, you
:19:22. > :19:25.will get a part. That sounds like a fantastic deal. I am looking forward
:19:26. > :19:32.to seeing it. It is a great honour to meet you. Thank you very much.
:19:33. > :19:36.Hull City has been charged by the FA for not controlling their players at
:19:37. > :19:40.Swansea last week. They have until tomorrow to respond. Today the
:19:41. > :19:43.players met some of the children who are having to spend the Christmas
:19:44. > :19:51.period in hospital. Our sports reporter Simon Clark joined them. It
:19:52. > :19:56.is a long`standing Christmas edition, and here or Hull City
:19:57. > :20:01.playing their part. They are handing out gifts to youngsters at Heil
:20:02. > :20:07.Royal Infirmary, doing their bit. It is nice to put a smile on the kids
:20:08. > :20:11.face. It is not great to be in here. Anything that can cheer them up over
:20:12. > :20:17.the period, we are more than happy to help. They are here doing their
:20:18. > :20:22.duty, bringing smiles on faces. They certainly have a rapport with the
:20:23. > :20:28.kids. The other big eyes, really down to earth. It is nice men to
:20:29. > :20:33.comment. They seem down to earth. I'm not a bubble by muesli, but it
:20:34. > :20:43.has made me get more interested. They are lovely. `` football fan
:20:44. > :20:49.usually. On the pitch it was a tale of two goalkeepers. Alan McGregor
:20:50. > :20:57.kept Hull's position is a leader's meanest defence. Supporters signed F
:20:58. > :21:09.like in their latest effort to prevent the FA agreeing a change to
:21:10. > :21:16.Hull Tigers. The club's identity is at stake. For somebody to dismiss
:21:17. > :21:20.it, I think if this to the club. On the busy wards of the hospital,
:21:21. > :21:26.there was a change in the fortunes of the youngsters.
:21:27. > :21:30.North Ferriby united face the biggest game in their history in the
:21:31. > :21:33.next round of the FA Trophy. They'll make the short journey over the
:21:34. > :21:41.Humber Bridge to Sincil Bank and face Lincoln City. Grimsby Town will
:21:42. > :21:44.base Maidenhead united. Simon is with me in the studio now, Simon,
:21:45. > :21:50.how have people at North Ferriby reacted to the news? I think they
:21:51. > :21:56.are very happy with that drawer. I was talking with a chairman. I said,
:21:57. > :22:01.today you will get Lincoln City, and it is out at the heart. I'm not sure
:22:02. > :22:08.linking are so keen about it, because it is not the glamour tie,
:22:09. > :22:11.but a massive one for us. Last year's runners`up play Maidenhead. A
:22:12. > :22:16.great chance for them to progress, and they could meet Lincoln
:22:17. > :22:18.somewhere down the line, maybe at Wembley Stadium.
:22:19. > :22:24.Scunthorpe United are unveiling plans for a new stadium tonight. The
:22:25. > :22:27.Iron moved to Glanford Park 25 years ago. The club says it's in

:27:25. > :27:29.personnel were reduced to save money, and the fact there was only
