:01:13. > :01:17.has today announced it will invest ?28 million in Lincolnshire to carry
:01:18. > :01:20.out fracking. To show his support for the industry, the Prime Minister
:01:21. > :01:24.visited Lincolnshire this morning. On a trip to Gainsborough, he told
:01:25. > :01:27.BBC Look North that fracking, which is the extraction of shale gas from
:01:28. > :01:32.underground will bring huge benefits to the local economy. We'll hear
:01:33. > :01:35.from David Cameron in a moment, but first let's look at how widespread
:01:36. > :01:39.the impact of fracking could be for us here. The geology of our area
:01:40. > :01:41.means large parts of East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have already been
:01:42. > :01:46.licensed for fracking, the black areas. In the red areas, more
:01:47. > :01:49.licences will be auctioned in the summer. So what does fracking
:01:50. > :01:53.involve? It means drilling down and then injecting a mix of water, sand
:01:54. > :01:59.and chemicals into the earth under high pressure. This then releases
:02:00. > :02:03.the shale gas which flows back to ground level. Supporters say it will
:02:04. > :02:05.mean cheap energy bills but environmental campaigners say the
:02:06. > :02:12.process could cause contamination and lead to earth tremors. Our first
:02:13. > :02:18.report tonight comes from our political editor, Tim Iredale.
:02:19. > :02:20.We have nothing to fear from fracking. That was the Prime
:02:21. > :02:24.Minister's message today, as he toured an oil depot near
:02:25. > :02:27.Gainsborough. This is one of the areas earmarked by the French energy
:02:28. > :02:35.giant Total which has announced the biggest ever investment in the UK
:02:36. > :02:43.shale gas industry. We are promised lower energy bills. Here on the
:02:44. > :02:46.Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire border, where we have oil and gas
:02:47. > :02:49.extraction taking place right now, people can already see this is a
:02:50. > :02:55.safe and successful industry, employing local people. It will be
:02:56. > :02:57.even more so when they moved to exploiting shale gas opportunities
:02:58. > :03:07.as well. But some remain sceptical about this new potential energy
:03:08. > :03:18.source. The health impacts of methane in the water courses are of
:03:19. > :03:23.a huge concern. Most importantly, it is local communities. They watch how
:03:24. > :03:27.we function and operate every day. Their right to ask the questions,
:03:28. > :03:29.but she'll gas... However, those already involved with shale gas
:03:30. > :03:34.exploration say that risk is minimal. The Government accepts his
:03:35. > :03:38.country as # this process is controversial, but he says people
:03:39. > :03:50.will come to see the economic benefits of shale gas exploration.
:03:51. > :03:57.I do apologise. That is a slight problem there with the film. I spoke
:03:58. > :04:00.to the group that interest `` represents the interests of the oil
:04:01. > :04:04.and gas industry and I asked what financial incentive Gainsborough
:04:05. > :04:08.would get. It is difficult to say at this
:04:09. > :04:12.process in time. In terms of funding, we have said five `?10
:04:13. > :04:16.million per site over the lifetime of the asset. Most of it will come
:04:17. > :04:20.in the first ten years. In terms of local communities, the Government
:04:21. > :04:27.has talked about business rates being 1.7 million for each council.
:04:28. > :04:34.This is a bribe, isn't it, to accept something that people do not want on
:04:35. > :04:38.their back door. Now, it is not a bribe. It is an award for hosting
:04:39. > :04:41.sites on behalf of others in the country. Secondly, it is a
:04:42. > :04:46.commonplace scheme in terms of business rates and committee funds.
:04:47. > :04:57.It comes from the onshore wind and give. Total is French. I gather fans
:04:58. > :05:05.do not want it and have come knocking here. Total's announcement
:05:06. > :05:10.today is very good in terms of energy security and economic
:05:11. > :05:14.benefits. France have made a political decision not to do
:05:15. > :05:18.hydraulic fracturing for this moment in time. That could change. We have
:05:19. > :05:23.heard the earthquake story in Blackpool. We have seen frightening
:05:24. > :05:30.pictures of tap water in America. We do not know if this is safe, do we?
:05:31. > :05:36.We have a highly regulated industry in the UK. We have four different
:05:37. > :05:39.regulators looking at this over a long period of time. We have been
:05:40. > :05:45.chilling in this country for over 100 years. We have hydraulically
:05:46. > :05:49.fractured very safely and environmentally sensitive way. But
:05:50. > :05:54.we have seen what happened in Blackpool. It is untested. Our
:05:55. > :05:59.broadcast area map almost identically is covered by the
:06:00. > :06:07.fracking map. What you say to people who are concerned? There was a study
:06:08. > :06:16.last year about induced seismicity. A situation like that will not
:06:17. > :06:19.happen again. Is it a gamble? No. The fracking process has caused
:06:20. > :06:21.widespread controversy, with environmental campaigners organising
:06:22. > :06:25.protests whenever it has been tested in other parts of the country. But
:06:26. > :06:31.supporters say it will mean more money for councils to spend on local
:06:32. > :06:34.services. Our reporter has been to the village of Laughton near
:06:35. > :06:36.Gainsborough to find out what people living there think of fracking in
:06:37. > :06:41.the area. Laughton, a quiet Lincolnshire
:06:42. > :06:44.village surrounded by fields. It is exactly the type of place companies
:06:45. > :06:48.think could be perfect to explore for shale gas. Last year, plans were
:06:49. > :06:52.approved to allow drilling on this field just outside the village.
:06:53. > :06:55.There was local opposition back then and villagers I've spoken to today
:06:56. > :07:05.say cash incentives wouldn't have made any difference. I would rather
:07:06. > :07:09.not have the fracking and not have any facilities that are likely to be
:07:10. > :07:16.provided by any so`called intervention money. Now, it is
:07:17. > :07:22.bribery. Out and out bribery. What we need here is not right money. So
:07:23. > :07:24.why such negativity towards fracking? Reports of
:07:25. > :07:26.mini`earthquakes, water contamination and environmental
:07:27. > :07:33.damage and the effect on the environment has worried many. Joy
:07:34. > :07:37.has lived here for 40 years. She believes any drilling nearby would
:07:38. > :07:41.change the nature of the village. I do worry quite a lot about the
:07:42. > :07:47.possibility of tremors. I am also annoyed about the aspect of
:07:48. > :07:52.wildlife. This is an area with a tremendous variety of wildlife. How
:07:53. > :07:56.that is good to be affected, I cannot begin to think. We will go
:07:57. > :08:00.through an extremely rigorous planning process. The council says
:08:01. > :08:03.the money offered by the Government won't influence decisions on whether
:08:04. > :08:08.to grant planning applications, but in principle it has welcomed the
:08:09. > :08:12.idea. It is nice that they are there, but it will not alter what we
:08:13. > :08:17.have to do to check and make sure that the application is safe. There
:08:18. > :08:21.has not been drilling here so far. After today's endorsements, it is
:08:22. > :08:25.likely many villages in this area could see applications for gas apple
:08:26. > :08:29.take `` gas exploration beneath them.
:08:30. > :08:38.We would be very keen to hear yours. `` hear your thoughts on
:08:39. > :08:41.this. Would you welcome fracking if it means bringing jobs and
:08:42. > :08:44.investment to the area? How worried are you about the environmental
:08:45. > :08:49.impacts, not just to Lincolnshire, but East Yorkshire as well? If you
:08:50. > :09:10.want to get in touch, follow the details on screen.
:09:11. > :09:16.An inquest into the death of a Red Arrows pilot has heard that a senior
:09:17. > :09:20.engineer had warned about a risk to life because of a lack of manpower
:09:21. > :09:22.and training of engineers working on his aircraft. Sean Cunningham died
:09:23. > :09:28.when his ejection seat activated while his plane was on the ground at
:09:29. > :09:31.RAF Scampton in November 2011. Today the inquest heard that the
:09:32. > :09:33.authorisation for one of the engineers had lapsed shortly before
:09:34. > :09:36.the accident. Jake Zuckerman has been in court. What was said about
:09:37. > :09:39.the lapse in authorisation? Today, the inquest has focussed on
:09:40. > :09:42.the maintenance undertaken on the ejection seat in Flight Lieutenant
:09:43. > :09:45.Cunningham's aircraft prior to the incident which led to his death.
:09:46. > :09:47.Cunningham's aircraft prior to the incident which led The inquest heard
:09:48. > :09:51.from Sergeant Michael Poultney, an armourer working at RAF Scampton.
:09:52. > :09:55.Prior to the incident, he had carried out work on the ejection
:09:56. > :09:57.seat. He said he wasn't aware that over`tightening a particular bolt
:09:58. > :10:01.could potentially lead to the seat failing to operate properly.
:10:02. > :10:04.It also emerged that his authorisation to carry out the work
:10:05. > :10:14.had lapsed, and that he should have undertaken a refresher course. The
:10:15. > :10:19.inquest here from senior officers about the laps and authorisation?
:10:20. > :10:22.The inquest also heard from Wing Commander Ross Priday, who was the
:10:23. > :10:25.senior engineering officer for the Red Arrows. He said, the fact that
:10:26. > :10:29.an authorisation had expired concerned me greatly. It was
:10:30. > :10:33.unacceptable. The inquest was told that an audit of Sergeant Poultney's
:10:34. > :10:35.work was carried out by the RAF, but no problems were highlighted. Wing
:10:36. > :10:38.Commander Priday said, the conclusion of that is that the lapse
:10:39. > :10:41.in authority posed no airworthiness or safety threat whatsoever and
:10:42. > :10:48.therefore wasn't a factor in this accident. In the course of evidence,
:10:49. > :10:51.it emerged that prior to the accident the Wing Commander had
:10:52. > :10:55.raised concerns about the risk to life posed by a lack of manpower and
:10:56. > :11:00.training issues on the engineering side at the Red Arrows. But he said
:11:01. > :11:04.that he didn't believe that either of these issues had contributed to
:11:05. > :11:19.the accident that killed Sean Cunningham. The inquest continues
:11:20. > :11:22.tomorrow. Police have named a man from Louth who was found murdered
:11:23. > :11:26.over the weekend. Richard Samuel Woods ` who was 32 ` was found at a

:13:15. > :13:21.at the window before that came, you looked onto the river. It was a nice
:13:22. > :13:24.view. Now you look onto that monstrosity. For this house
:13:25. > :13:28.particularly, it looks directly onto it. Neptune Renewable Energy
:13:29. > :13:30.deployed it in January 2012 but despite testing and modifications
:13:31. > :13:41.they were unable to achieve enough electricity. The company then went
:13:42. > :13:44.into liquidation. It is not being maintained because the company
:13:45. > :13:47.behind it has gone past. There is a problem with noise from it. We're
:13:48. > :13:52.worried about vandalism on the site. We were promised when it first went
:13:53. > :13:56.in that the area would be returned to the stated was before it went in,
:13:57. > :14:00.and that is what we want to see happen. The Crown now owns the land
:14:01. > :14:03.the device is on. They have to maintain it but they don't have to
:14:04. > :14:07.remove it. That's the job of the Department for Energy and Climate
:14:08. > :14:09.Change. It's says it's in "active discussions with partner agencies
:14:10. > :14:11.for the safe and expedient decommissioning of the facility
:14:12. > :14:20.following the owners going into liquidation". But this won't be a
:14:21. > :14:24.quick process. You have got to think about the environment, navigational
:14:25. > :14:30.safety. It is not just the case of killing of the bulldozer and taking
:14:31. > :14:34.it away. It is a very complicated process that has to be going through
:14:35. > :14:36.to decommission it. I would imagine the decommissioning process would
:14:37. > :14:38.have been thought about when the original licence for the facility
:14:39. > :14:41.was granted. There were high hopes for this
:14:42. > :14:45.renewable energy device to power business and homes along the Humber.
:14:46. > :14:48.Now the only hope is that it is removed. And while as yet there's no
:14:49. > :14:52.frame for that, residents should feel safe in the knowledge that the

:20:56. > :20:57.its own conference by stopping the payments. He says the IEMO has
:20:58. > :21:01.always presented accounts in accordance with the instruction of
:21:02. > :21:04.its congress. And there's more on that story in a special Inside Out

:21:20. > :21:22.play Gosport in the next round while Grimsby Town also have home
:21:23. > :21:27.advantage. With all the football news, here's our sports reporter
:21:28. > :21:31.Simon Clark. They have been playing on a
:21:32. > :21:36.different planet this season, but a 4`0 victory at Lincoln City must be
:21:37. > :21:41.one of the best in this history of North Ferriby United. It is given a
:21:42. > :21:48.quarterfinal tie against Gosport. Gosport in the conference South.
:21:49. > :21:52.They are not a team that is playing `` plying their trade at a higher
:21:53. > :21:58.level. We have to consider home advantage is a great opportunity to
:21:59. > :22:00.get to the semifinal. The draw for North Ferriby United against Gosport
:22:01. > :22:02.means they have missed some of the bigger guns in the competition,
:22:03. > :22:12.including Grimsby Town, who will play the winners of the Tamworth
:22:13. > :22:16.`trolley replay. Hull City were having a more difficult time against
:22:17. > :22:21.Chelsea in the Premier League. If it wasn't for Allan McGregor,
:22:22. > :22:24.this could have been far worse. Time and again, Scotland's number one
:22:25. > :22:28.came to the rescue with a number of fine saves from excellent Chelsea
:22:29. > :22:36.play. In the end, he was blameless for the Chelsea goals. The first was
:22:37. > :22:41.a splendid effort from Eden Hazard. The second near the end was struck
:22:42. > :22:46.by Fernando Torres. The season will not be defined by games against
:22:47. > :22:49.Chelsea. But over the last couple of months, especially against the big
:22:50. > :22:53.boys, we have kept the ball better and played better as a team. Today,
:22:54. > :23:00.first`half was OK, second`half, we will know will near posing a threat.
:23:01. > :23:06.One of the special goals of the weekend came from Scunthorpe
:23:07. > :23:11.United's Paul Hayes. Sign for a third spell, he kept United top of
:23:12. > :23:16.League Two with the second. Some goal that, from Paul Hayes. Back to
:23:17. > :23:19.the FA Trophy quarterfinals. They will be played on the 1st of
:23:20. > :23:24.February, which could have an impact on the gate here. Just down the road
:23:25. > :23:29.on the same day at the same time, Hull City will be playing Tottenham

:23:51. > :23:54.Fantastic news. It has taken him four years and he's
:23:55. > :24:00.covered thousands of miles in that time. Andrew Dowd has visited every
:24:01. > :24:04.one of the 2,548 railway stations in Britain and he says Gainsborough's
:24:05. > :24:12.central station is the worst one he visited. I've been talking to Andrew
:24:13. > :24:18.about his visits and asked him what was wrong with Gainsborough.
:24:19. > :24:21.Quite a lot of things, actually. It is inaccessible and could not give
:24:22. > :24:26.your Friday. It was locked up. Only open on Saturday. It looked very
:24:27. > :24:32.weedy, full of weeds and very unloved. That is not good news, is
:24:33. > :24:38.it? What needs to be done to Gainsborough station, then? Better
:24:39. > :24:42.services, maybe one in the morning and in the evening rather than all
:24:43. > :24:50.on a Saturday. Bit of tell `` a bit of TLC as well. You are an expert.
:24:51. > :24:56.What makes a good station? It would have to be staff, services, access
:24:57. > :25:01.ability. For me personally, and is coughing on the platform. You're
:25:02. > :25:11.going to the train station to train, not a coffee. You do look barrel
:25:12. > :25:16.haven, don't you? Yes, I do. I am a big fan of not just visiting
:25:17. > :25:23.stations, but exploring Britain. When you go a few metres away from
:25:24. > :25:29.the station platform at Barrow Haven, it has the River Humber and
:25:30. > :25:34.Humber Bridge in the background. You have all this information in your
:25:35. > :25:40.bedroom. I do. It is on my computer ready for when they could be
:25:41. > :25:44.published or make a book. You never know. I would love to read it. Very
:25:45. > :25:50.good to have gone the programme. Thank you very much indeed. It has
:25:51. > :25:53.been a pleasure. Andrew has been to every single railway station in the
:25:54. > :25:58.country. Another study might want to comment
:25:59. > :26:01.on. Is Andrew being unkind to Gainsborough station? He thinks it
:26:02. > :26:05.is the worst in the country. Which would you vote as the best or worst
:26:06. > :26:14.railway stations in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire? The contact details
:26:15. > :26:16.are on screen. Look forward to hearing from you on the subject of
:26:17. > :26:19.railway stations. Let's get a recap of the national
