interview with Paul Flowers, Good evening. You are watchhng BBC | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Look North, coming live frol the banks of the Humber. Our news | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
tonight is dominated by the confirmation that the energx giant | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Siemens will be going ahead with plans to build one of Europd's | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
biggest wind energy factorids just a stone's throw from where I `m | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
standing right now. Siemens is investing ?160 million. It will | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
create more than a thousand jobs over two sites, one in Hull, one at | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Paull in East Yorkshire. Working with ports firm ABP, the total | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
investment will be ?310 million Speaking in Hull earlier, Prime | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Minister David Cameron said it would transform the regional economy. The | :00:56. | :01:09. | |
deal is finally done. After years of uncertainty, the Prime Minister was | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
inspecting the site which whll become a world leading manufacturing | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
centre for the offshore wind industry. It is a fantastic day for | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
the city, for Humberside and for Britain. We are going to be making | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
the turbines here in Britain. The development is centred on | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Aleksandra. . There are also plans for a new rotor blade manuf`cturing | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
plant to the east of the city. It is a fantastic opportunity. It is going | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
to create 1,000 jobs. It is the hundred million pounds in modern | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
investment. Hopefully, we whll begin construction work on the amount of | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
jobs will increase. It will be a yes and I think we will find out | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
shortly. I have spent a lot of time on the telephone lobbying vdry hard | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
for this. Despite the false dawns, the news was welcomed by thd MPs of | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
the local area. The decision by Siemens India investment in | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
renewables will make the city a centre of energy as well as culture. | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
It was unexpected, the decision to bring across blade manufacttrer from | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Denmark. It was also welcomd news for the council. I think evdrybody | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
feels that now. City of culture and know this centre for manufacturing. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
This is a great decision th`t Siemens have made. After ye`rs of | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
gloomy news, there is a belhef that the wind of change is sweephng | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
through the Humberside region. It has taken years to get to today's | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
announcement. It was back in January 2011 when Siemens and ABP fhrst went | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
public with their plans for Hull. Planning permission was granted by | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
the council in May 2012, but then, in October the same year, it was | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
announced that the deal had been delayed until 2013. Then, it all | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
went quiet. That was until this morning's announcement that the deal | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
had finally been signed. Our business correspondent Paull Murphy | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
has been looking at the imp`ct this could have for jobs and loc`l | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
industry. This morning 's announcement brings with it a real | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
sense of a new beginning for Hull. ?300 million buys two factories in | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
1,000 jobs, but that is not all As for the next`generation, yot will | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
also detect a new`found sense of security. I would love to work for | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
Siemens. It is a huge company. It is great news for everybody. As well as | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
a factory in whole, they ard going to build a plate making factory | :04:23. | :04:36. | |
nearby. I think Siemens havhng made this huge statement, it may | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
encourage others, there could be a knock`on effect. Of course, | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Humberside has a big industry before. The economic aspects of its | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
collapse are still being felt. But today, it is also about a ndw | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
attitude. It means that loc`l people can stay locally and hopefully get | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
the best jobs. I am very happy to have this opportunity. We c`n offer | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
a wide range of programmes which will give the skills requirdd. We | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
want to talk about the future and what we can do to make the college | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
better. Overflow 6,000 of these giant machines are planned for the | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
North Sea. The proposal will mean other companies will need to move to | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
the area to help Siemens re`lise the fact that the factory June. Looking | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
at Germany, offshore wind h`s taken off from bust to boom in under one | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
decades. Could you make a prediction about the economic impact? H hate | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
doing these predictions cause you always get caught out. It whll have | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
a huge impact, it will go rhght down into the workforce. The hard work | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
begins now, reinventing the local economy. The sooner these ghant | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
structures will become a faliliar sight and once again, the pdople of | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Humberside are looking out to sea for the future. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Scunthorpe United extended their unbeaten run to 23 games, whth a win | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
at Cheltenham tonight. Sam Winnall scored both the Iron's goal in the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
2`0 win. Meanwhile, Grimsby Town lost 2` at | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
home to Luton in the Conferdnce Let us get a look at the we`ther | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
now, with Paull Hudson. Good evening. It is fairly puiet out | :06:46. | :06:57. | |
there this evening. A touch of ground frost in places. 12 showers | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
in the south of the region overnight, but largely dry. Patchy | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
fog will clear tomorrow. Thd odd shower around tomorrow. But it will | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
go downhill later, with this weather front moving in from the North Sea. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
A very chilly feel, with temperatures just getting up to | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
eight Celsius. That is all from the late tdam. It | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
is a Dave when Siemens confronted going to make a major investment in | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
might be wintry. Feeling chilly at 10 degrees. The outlook, it stays | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
chilly and temperatures look like they will pick up towards the eight | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
-- weekend. In early spring, a bit of sunshine | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
makes the difference. Today we had some sunshine in the far east of the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
UK and in the far west. In Northern Ireland and East Anglia, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
temperatures climbed into the teens. But for most of us, it was gloomy | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
and temperatures were at sixes and sevens. Single figure temperatures | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
will feature heavily over the next few days. We are already seeing the | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
weather coming in from the east pushing the weather to the West so | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
we will see showers continuing in the night. Isolated showers. Most | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
towns and cities just about avoiding a frost but in rural areas we will | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
seek pockets of frost | :08:24. | :08:24. |
