North. The headlines tonight... The inquest into the death of Red | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Arrow Sean Cunningham hears about ejector seat concerns dating back 20 | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
years. I've been at the inquest, where the | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
ejection seat's maker said it knew of a possible fault 20 years ago, | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
but failed to tell the RAF. Designs for a bridge to re`unite a | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
city and its historic waterfront ` the designs are made public. I think | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
the ambitions need to be raised. I think you need something really | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
startling and beautiful. We are not looking to win architectural awards, | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
readers want something that does the job. `` we just want something. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
A warning of environmental disaster if fracking for cheap gas isn't | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
properly controlled. And has spring sprung? We look at | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
the effects of the mild winter. And a cold and frosty night, a Met | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
office warning of fog by morning. Good evening. | :01:00. | :01:13. | |
The inquest into the death of a Red Arrows pilot Sean Cunningham has | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
been told of concerns over the safety of ejection seats... Concerns | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
which were not revealed to the RAF. Flight Lieutenant Cunningham died | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
when he was ejected from his sationary plane at RAF Scampton in | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
November 2011. The inquest has been told that the seat's manufacturer | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Martin`Baker warned foreign air forces about the possible fault 20 | :01:33. | :01:45. | |
years ago. Caroline Bilton reports. We are now eight days into this | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
inquest and today was the turn of the employees of the ejection seat | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
manufacturer, Martin`Baker, to answer questions. Flight Lieutenant | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
Sean Cunningham's ejection seat wed off as he sat on the tarmac at RAF | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
Scampton in 2011. A crucial nut and bolt had been over tightened, | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
preventing his parachute from the `` from deploying. Martin`Baker has | :02:16. | :02:25. | |
produced 75,000 seats since 1946. There are currently 5550 mark ten | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
parachutes in service around the world. | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
Martin`Baker were aware back in 1990 that if they not and bolt were over | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
tightened, it could produce a risk to life. They produced a warning for | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
foreign users of the parachutes but failed to warn the RAF. | :02:53. | :03:06. | |
Since the death of Flight Lieutenant Cunningham, the design of the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
crucial nut and bolt has been changed. It is soon to be lamented. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
The inquest continues. Caroline is in Lincoln this evening. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Caroline, what other lessons have been learnt after Sean's death? | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
There is a bit of a twist in the tale here because after the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
accident, it has transpired that the guidance given on that crucial nut | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
and bolt and how far it should be tightened was in fact wrong. So | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
although foreign air forces on the advice of Martin`Baker were | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
following incorrect advice, the MoD, following its own guidelines was in | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
promoting a procedure that posed a risk to life and all of this has | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
come to light after the death of Sean Cunningham. Perhaps these new | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
procedures have been implemented since then but we sadly, obviously, | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
have lost and we have seen a man die as a result of this. Perhaps this | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
would not have come to light until now it if it were not for the death | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
of Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
In a moment... The organisers of the Hull ten`kilometre run promise this | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
year will be a success. A leading mining engineer has told | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
the BBC that if the shale gas industry is not properly regulated, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
it could lead to an environmental disaster. Last week, the French | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
energy company Total committed almost ?30 million to exploring | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
fracking in parts of Lincolnshire. The Government argues that it would | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
bring huge benefits to the community. However Mike Hill, who | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
worked on a fracking rig in Blackpool that caused a minor | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
earthquake, believes there are real dangers. We'll hear from him in a | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
moment but first Jake Zuckerman has this report. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
"No need to fear fracking" ` that was the message from Prime Minster | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
David Cameron last week as he visited an oil depot near | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
Gainsborough. On the Lincolnshire`Nottinghamshire border, | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
where we have oil extraction and gas extraction taking place right now, | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
people can already see that this is a safe and successful industry and | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
employing local people. That will improve when they moved to exploding | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
shale gas as well. So what exactly does fracking | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
involve? It means drilling down into the gas`bearing shale rock and | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
injecting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
This fractures the rock, releasing shale gas, which flows back to | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
ground level. The area around Gainsborough has been earmarked for | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
exploration by French energy company Total. We need to make sure that | :05:44. | :05:52. | |
shale is extracted responsibly, that it is safe for those extra net and | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
safe for the environment. That is why we are putting in place a very | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
strong regular Tariq framework. `` regulatory framework. But fracking | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
has been blamed for causing two small earthquakes near Blackpool in | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
2011. And environmental campaigners fear it could cause the sort of | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
contamination of water supplies shown in this dramatic footage from | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
the USA. The quiet Lincolnshire village of Laughton sits directly | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
above the type of rock formations that energy companies want to | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
explore. Permission was recently granted to drill for oil on the | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
outskirts of the village. A controversial decision and when it | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
comes to fracking, people living in the village are concerned. I have | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
lived here all my life, it is a nice and quiet village. It could do | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
without it. I am not a great believer in that around a village | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
area like this. The black areas on this map show the parts of East | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire where oil companies already hold drilling | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
licences. From next summer, the red areas will be opened up for auction, | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
allowing companies to bid for licences that will give them the | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
rights to explore for conventional oil and gas and for shale gas. The | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Government will be hoping that anti`fracking protests, like this | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
one near Manchester last week, don't become widespread. | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
Earlier, I spoke To Mike Hill, a senior engineer on the fracking rig | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
which caused a minor earthquake in Blackpool two years ago. I asked him | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
if he thinks fracking is safe. No. But is anything safe? I don't | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
think you can say anything is completely safe. At this point in | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
time, fracking is not safe. A study said that is long as it is | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
regulated, it is safe was the boy should anyone be concerned? Public | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Health England have come in a little late but as they said in their own | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
wording, providing it is properly regulated, it is not properly | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
regulated. With proper regulation comes in force at and inspection and | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
it is not being inspected or a delicious enforced at all. You say | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
that the monitoring and inspection is not robust enough? Not at all. In | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
layman 's terms, four wells have been drilled and they were inspected | :08:09. | :08:22. | |
zero times. The UK water industry research, the government's research | :08:23. | :08:33. | |
body, say there is no chance of contaminating water supplies. Their | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
official statement was something on the lines of, "is honoured as it is | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
strictly enforce `` as long as it is strictly enforced" . Ground water is | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
at risk of contamination. Councils which allow fracking will be better | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
off and it will provide jobs and money. Can you understand the rush? | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
At this point in the economic cycle, there is a number of councils who | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
are strapped for cash. However, you cannot put money before people's | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
lives, before public health and before the environment. Briefly, if | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
you were living near a fracking plant yourself, would you be | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
worried? Yes, if I was living within 1.5 miles of a fracking well, I | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
would be very worried. Based on studies from America. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
We'd like to hear your thoughts on this story. Is Mike Hill right to be | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
concerned or are you happy that the Government will have the right | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
regulations in place to make sure Fracking is entirely safe? Is | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
fracking shale gas the right way to produce energy or are you concerned | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
about the effects on the environment? | :09:56. | :10:16. | |
You can hear more from Mike Hill and from the Energy Minister, Michael | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
Fallon, on the issue of fracking on tonight's Inside Out at 7:30pm. | :10:23. | :10:32. | |
A number of jobs could be lost at an egg`packing company in Lincolnshire. | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
Noble Foods says it's consulting staff at its plant at North Scarle | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
near Lincoln. The firm is looking at relocating part of its business to | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
Oxfordshire. A woman's in a serious condition | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
after being hit by a bus in East Yorkshire. The woman, in her 60s, | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
was hit near Castle Hill hospital earlier today. Roads around the | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
incident were closed for much of the afternoon. No`one on the bus was | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
hurt. Work could start as early as next | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
year on a footbridge designed link the centre of Hull with its historic | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
waterfront. At the moment, the two areas are split by the busy A63 dual | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
carriageway, meaning people have to use pedestrian crossings to visit | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
them. Today, the Highways Agency put their plans for the bridge on show | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
but already some of the designs have been described as unacceptable by | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
the man leading Hull's regeneration. Sarah Corker reports. | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
It's one of Hull's busiest roads and is often described as a barrier to | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
growth in the city. It divides the city centre and the marina. And, to | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
solve that very problem, five designs for an iconic footbridge. | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
From the functional... To spiralling, curving structures. They | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
are not particularly inspiring and do not reflect the area in any way. | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
Despite disapointment in the designs, at this jewellery workshop | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
on the marina, they hope the bridge can unlock the waterfront's | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
potential. Not only is it a physical barrier, it is also a mental barrier | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
as well because that road is really busy. It is quite dangerous. I think | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
it needs to be easier to get across. This summer, the long`awaited | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
Government upgrade of the A63 was approved, and includes lowering the | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
road. Anything that we can do that will encourage people to cross from | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Hull city centre to the proposed development areas will be of benefit | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
to the city, especially with the city of culture. City leaders have a | :12:37. | :12:55. | |
vision of an iconic structure but there is only a budget for a | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
functional bridge. Extra funding has to be found. An extra ?3 million | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
according to the council. I think the options are potentially quite | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
exciting. We have never been closer to realising this scheme. What do | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
you think of the plans for the footbridge? The ambitions need to be | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
raised. You need something really startling and beautiful. We are not | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
looking to win architectural awards, we were one something that does the | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
job. It looks functional, there is nothing wrong with that. And, | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
whatever the final design is, it's hoped a bridge could be in place for | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
the City Of Culture celebrations in 2017. | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
And you can see more of those images and the plans by visiting our | :13:44. | :13:52. | |

this Monday night. Still ahead tonight... The | :13:56. | :14:08. | |
organisers of the Hull ten, the run `` ten kilometre run say it will be | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
a success. And the plants tricked into | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
flowering weeks early by a mild winter. | :14:15. | :14:27. | |
This is the king George Dock. Another picture tomorrow night at | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
the same time. Good evening. A mild winter, that is | :14:30. | :14:51. | |
my job! Maggie says, , " I saw Peter in my local supermarket and saw him | :14:52. | :15:02. | |
eyeing up the reduced items! " fog is the main concern tonight, so | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
allow more time of your commute first thing tomorrow. | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
A different feel for the weather tomorrow. A chilly feel and that | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
mist an Foxley thing `` that mist and fog lifting. We are ahead of | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
this weather front that will bring rain on Tuesday night into | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
Wednesday. It is ideal for mist and fog formation. It has been a nice | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
day almost everywhere today. A lot of sunshine. We have patchy cloud | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
pushing in from the west. That will complicate the fog formation but it | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
will break up. We all have debit is close to freezing, watch for frost. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
We are respecting that fog to develop with the exception of | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
coastal areas with a gentle onshore breeze full supply should protect | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
those areas. Temperatures at or below freezing in many areas. The | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
sun will rise in the morning at 8:05am. A lot of fog first thing in | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
the morning. That will slowly lift. The exceptions could be coastal | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
areas. It is a chilly feel to most with a moderate south east wind in | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
the afternoon. The top temperatures in the afternoon, they are | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
struggling to stop the average is around seven. We are looking at four | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
Celsius. That is the high. Rain at first, slowly petering out. A lot of | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
cloud and a risk of patchy rain on Thursday. That is the forecast. I am | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
working with posh people this evening, they don't know what and | :16:54. | :17:04. | |
bargains are! `` bent bargains. At 50 acres, it's the size of more | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
than 30 football pitches, making a new solar energy park near Sleaford | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
in Lincolnshire the largest in the county. Its owners says it will | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
generate enough electricity to power 3,000 homes. But concerns are being | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
raised about the growth of the solar industry in Lincolnshire, where land | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
is valued for farming. Here's our Business Correspondent, Paul Murphy. | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
It is the size of 30 football pitches. The largest solar farm | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
Lincolnshire has seen. The company behind it believes solar has | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
fantastic potential in this county. It is reducing the need to import | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
energy from other countries, it is generating clean energy at the point | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
people use it and it is increasing the investment into the local and | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
national energy grid. Connected fully to the grid this week, it is | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
hoped this solar farm will generate enough power for 3000 homes. In | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
fact, the large open spaces in ligature have attracted several | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
solar farms in recent years. There are at least six now operating in | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
the county, from Gainsborough down to Sleaford. Many more are planned | :18:06. | :18:18. | |
or are being built. The Government's ambition is for a | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
tenfold increase in the number of solar farms over the next ten years. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Ministers are also issuing strong guidelines on where they should be | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
built. The real thrust of expansion for solar in the UK must actually be | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
on round field sites, on industrial buildings, on Brownfield land, on | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
commercial buildings and also individual homes. That is where the | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
expansion of solar Nice to be. In Lincolnshire, there is concern about | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
the loss of farmland. Where it is highly visible and 100 or 50 acre | :18:51. | :19:03. | |
sites, where it is taking up food production land, ING beers. The | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
owners of the site say that rather than ruining the land, they will be | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
enhancing it by bringing in beehives and wild flowers to improve | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
pollination. We get this huge pollination benefit on the rest of | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
the farm. About six miles from any development of solar, we see an | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
improvement of ten or 50% of the wider agricultural production. This | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
site sits on low`grade agricultural land, which is just about acceptable | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
to the Government. As the solar industry expands in Lincolnshire, | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
the pressure to the use farmland is looking to increase. An interesting | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
one. Thanks to everyone who got in touch | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
regarding Friday's story about fox hunting. The League Against Cruel | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
Sports has said it will be gathering more evidence this year, following | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
the prosecution of four members of Yorkshire's Middleton Hunt, but some | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
hunts say activists pose a danger to legitimate groups. Not surprisingly, | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
there was a big response after the programme. Just a view of the | :20:07. | :20:07. | |
many... Thank you very much for all of | :20:08. | :20:40. | |
those. Lincoln City will hold a minute's | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
applause for their former striker, Andy Graves, who has died aged 86. | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Andy played for Lincoln in three spells during the 1950s, scoring a | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
club record of 143 goals. The former miner's career will be celebrated by | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
applause before the match against Woking on Saturday. | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
Steve Bruce said he was disappointed to lose at Norwich with a goal late | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
into the game. Former Grimsby Town player Ryan Bennett headed home the | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
only goal in the game, which saw Tigers' midfield player, Tom | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
Huddlestone, sent off for two cautions. They have to and puffed | :21:15. | :21:24. | |
and had a few corners and free kicks but overall we were very | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
comfortable, our defenders defended well but we conceded in the last | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
minute, which is always annoying. Scunthorpe United could only manage | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
a goaless draw with Wimbledon in League Two. It was enough to keep | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
them top of the table and unbeaten since Russ Wilcox took charge. | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
Grimsby Town are still in the promotion play`off places in the | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
Conference. A late equaliser at Blundell Park against Gateshead | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
earned the Mariners a 2`2 draw. They're now fifth in the table. | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
For a fifth year, Hull will host a ten`kilometre race in memory of the | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
charity fundraiser Jane Tomlinson, who was also a student in the city. | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
Last year's race proved controversial when it was reduced to | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
nine kilometres after a bridge on the route was opened. Our sports | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
reporter, Simon Clark, has been to find out about this year's plans. | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
They are getting warmed up for the big one. Hull FC's player was | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
setting off a motley crew, head of the city's ten kilometre race. Last | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
year, the race was reduced to nine, Mrs after a bridge on the route was | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
opened and would not close. The organisers hope that will not happen | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
this year. I think everybody took it very well and understood it was | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
unavoidable in the circumstances. We always had contingency plans in | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
place and hopefully we will not see a repeat of that. Last year's | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
shortened run annoyed some keen runners. But many do not believe it | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
will have an adverse effect this year. I think people work | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
disappointed they were not getting the full distance but on the all I | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
don't think it well except the ship was macro event. I think people | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
understood it was in beyond the control of the organisers. The Hull | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
ten kilometre race, run in memory of Jane Tomlinson, is into its fifth | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
year and has become a premier running event in East Yorkshire. | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
After the problems of last, the organisers say they have | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
contingencies in place that, if anything goes wrong, this year ten: | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
That is will mean ten kilometres. It will be the 8th of June. | :23:48. | :24:01. | |
Across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, there are signs that | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
spring has started to make an appearance. Some plants are | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
flowering almost three weeks early, and newborn lambs are already being | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
put out to grass because of the mild temperatures. Amy Cole has been | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
discovering the tell`tale signs of spring. | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Everywhere you look, there are hints of spring, although you might not | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
have realised it. At Burton Agnes Hall near Driffield, the aconite | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
plant has already started flowering. It's three weeks early, as are the | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
snowdrops. But there's something even more exceptional. The rosemary | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
bush, as Jeremy Palmer, the estate's head gardener, explains. | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
It is flowering a lot earlier than we would expect. In the 15 years I | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
have been here, this is the first time I have seen it flower at this | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
time of year. It's not just the flora but the fauna that's | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
flourishing, too. At this farm in Beswick in East Yorkshire, the pet | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
ducks have already started hatching eggs and the newborn lambs are being | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
put out to grass. They would normally stay in for ten to 14 days, | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
but they are going up that they be gold. We have a pair of born last | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
weekend and they are already out. Chris Hickman is an expert in the | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
changing seasons and thier effects on wildlife. At this woodland in | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
Grantham, birds are nesting and that, he says, can be risky. | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
What this may mean is that if the young hatch too soon and then there | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
is a long period of cold like we saw in 2013, there may be a lack of food | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
or it might be so cold that the young could die. Back at Burton | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
Agnes, there are further indications of warmer weather. This plant hails | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
from Madeira, a warmer climate. I told they had not had to cover the | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
plants up this winter because of the warm temperature. As you can see, | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
there is a bit of frost on the leaves but that is not a problem. | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
However, it could be if the temperature drops below freezing | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
during the day for a number of days. Then they might have to get cautions | :26:01. | :26:16. | |
`` have to take precautions. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
and regional headlines. The Liberal Democrats suspend Lord | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
Rennard after he refused to apologise over sexual harassment | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
claims. The inquest into the death of Red | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
Arrow Sean Cunningham hears about ejection seat concerns dating back | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
20 years. Tomorrow's weather ` mist and fog | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
slowly lifting into low cloud. Tomorrow's weather ` mist and fog | :26:34. | :26:35. | |
slowly lifting into A chance of sun on higher ground and along the | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
coast. A maximum temperature of four Celsius. That's 39 Fahrenheit. | :26:39. | :26:50. | |
A big response on the subject of fracking. One woman says they could | :26:51. | :27:03. | |
be risks, and their only financial interests, at them risk of | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
environmental issues. Kevin says, how can anyone think | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
that destroying the ground beneath our feet would end well? They need | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
to use a bit of common sense. Tony said, I own a farm and we would | :27:22. | :27:37. | |
welcome it. We need the gas. Join me tomorrow on Radio | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
Humberside. Look after yourself. Good night. | :27:43. | :27:46. |
