:00:28. > :00:31.As Hull City prepare for their first ever European competition, how will
:00:32. > :00:36.their success reflect on the area? Clearly the value of this

:00:46. > :01:02.severely damaged in December's tidal surge. Don't forget that forecast in
:01:03. > :01:06.15 minutes. A man has died after an incident at
:01:07. > :01:08.a cement making factory in North Lincolnshire. It happened this
:01:09. > :01:12.morning as he was working to repair part of the Cemex plant in South
:01:13. > :01:16.Ferriby which was damaged by December's tidal surge. Our reporter
:01:17. > :01:23.Kate Sweeting joins me now live from South Ferriby. Kate, what more do we
:01:24. > :01:27.know about the incident? This is thought to have happened
:01:28. > :01:30.mid`morning today. The man, who's a German contractor in his 30s, was
:01:31. > :01:36.working to repair flood damage here, which happened during the December
:01:37. > :01:40.tidal surge. Earlier I spoke to the first aider who treated him who told
:01:41. > :01:48.me he fell, sustaining serious injuries which killed him. All the
:01:49. > :01:51.staff was sent home early today. This factory is a big employer in
:01:52. > :02:07.South Ferriby, and people locally have been hugely shocked. I've only
:02:08. > :02:10.just heard the news. It is sad. You don't expect it. You think
:02:11. > :02:26.everything is getting back to normal. What other company said? ``
:02:27. > :02:29.have the. The company has released a statement. "All operations and work
:02:30. > :02:32.at the plant have been suspended. We are working with the relevant
:02:33. > :02:35.authorities to investigate and fully understand the circumstances of this
:02:36. > :02:38.tragic incident. Our thoughts are with the contractor's family and
:02:39. > :02:40.friends." The Health and Safety Executive is currently
:02:41. > :02:43.investigating, as are Humberside Police. As well as being tragic,
:02:44. > :02:47.this is another big blow to the company which has been going through
:02:48. > :02:49.a very difficult period. Like many houses here it sustained serious
:02:50. > :02:53.damage during Decembers tidal and repairs still aren't complete,
:02:54. > :03:10.and it was those repairs that this man was working on when he was
:03:11. > :03:13.killed. Thank you very much. In a moment. Worries shellfishing off the
:03:14. > :03:19.Lincolnshire coast could be damaged by a new wind farm.
:03:20. > :03:29.There is massive impact from these works and we need to know our
:03:30. > :03:32.industry will be able to continue. Hull could get 'priceless publicity'
:03:33. > :03:34.and millions of pounds of extra business after the football team
:03:35. > :03:38.qualified for European competition for the first time in their history,
:03:39. > :03:41.as FA Cup finalists Hull City have earned their place because Arsenal
:03:42. > :03:44.have qualified for the Champions League. Our sports reporter Simon
:03:45. > :03:49.Clark has been finding out what European football will mean for the
:03:50. > :03:52.city. It's now required reading and today
:03:53. > :03:56.football fans in Hull are pouring over the Atlas knowing their dreams
:03:57. > :03:59.of playing in Europe have been realised. Hull City will blossom
:04:00. > :04:01.into the Europa League thanks to their progress in the FA Cup and
:04:02. > :04:05.opponents Arsenal's qualification for the Champions League. There is a
:04:06. > :04:11.sense of disbelief from even the most optimistic of die`hard fans.
:04:12. > :04:18.Those chats you have when you say, would you rather win the cup or be
:04:19. > :04:22.in Europe. I really didn't think the second would happen. It is good for
:04:23. > :04:33.the city. More people coming in. City of culture. Which team would
:04:34. > :04:43.like to see most of all? Spanish teams really. Valencia, Sevilla.
:04:44. > :04:46.Just any decent team. So what is it worth to club and city? Based on
:04:47. > :04:49.last season's figures each round earns you a minimum of 100,000
:04:50. > :04:52.euros, plus a share of television revenue. The winners Chelsea took 5
:04:53. > :04:56.euros million in prize`money and when other revenues come into play
:04:57. > :04:59.pocketed 11 million. And with an attractive draw the economy could
:05:00. > :05:02.earn upwards of ?2 million in visitor revenue. But economist and
:05:03. > :05:07.Tigers fan Michael Nolan says that figure will only be realised with a
:05:08. > :05:12.decent draw. The type of teams that we might get could vary quite a lot
:05:13. > :05:15.in terms of both their size in terms of their fan base, also the
:05:16. > :05:25.distances involved and indeed the nature of travel and how they would
:05:26. > :05:29.possibly choose to visit Hull. Ten years ago Hull City were being
:05:30. > :05:32.promoted from the bottom division of English football and in that season
:05:33. > :05:36.they played Boston United, Lincoln City and Scunthorpe United. Next
:05:37. > :05:41.season they could be playing teams on Bilbao, Lyon or even Athens and
:05:42. > :06:05.Hull in the East Riding is set to benefit.
:06:06. > :06:08.Sumner news `` some more news. Lincolnshire Health Trust have
:06:09. > :06:11.introduced parking charges for disabled drivers for the first time.
:06:12. > :06:15.Blue badge holders will now have to pay a flat fee of ?1.50 to park at
:06:16. > :06:18.their hospitals. Other parking charges have also been increased by
:06:19. > :06:21.around 10%. Also the Trust has agreed that certain patients such as
:06:22. > :06:23.those having regular treatment for cancer and adults accompanying
:06:24. > :06:25.children having emergency treatment will be exempt.
:06:26. > :06:29.Roger Helmer, who represents Lincolnshire as a UKIP member of the
:06:30. > :06:32.European Parliament, is to stand for election as an MP at Westminster.
:06:33. > :06:35.He's been announced as UKIP's candidate in the Newark by`election.
:06:36. > :06:38.Hull's city of culture team says it will give work to Hull`based firms,
:06:39. > :06:41.despite criticism it's using a London`based recruitment firm to
:06:42. > :06:45.fill its three top jobs. Hull City Council is paying a national company
:06:46. > :06:47.?60,000 to find it a chair, a programme director and a chief
:06:48. > :06:50.executive. But some Hull`based businesses are angry that no
:06:51. > :06:52.recruitment companies in the city were asked to tender for the
:06:53. > :06:55.contract. Once again Hull City Council has not
:06:56. > :06:59.had faith in their local businesses. The people who pay the rates.
:07:00. > :07:03.They've taken the money out of the town and giving it to a London based
:07:04. > :07:07.agency. We are more than capable of doing that. Is this going to be the
:07:08. > :07:10.case for every single thing that happens now with the 2017 city of
:07:11. > :07:14.culture? To get the top people we were told you need a top agency.
:07:15. > :07:18.They have linked into people who know people as well as people on
:07:19. > :07:33.their books, and of course a lot of the art world, the leading figures.
:07:34. > :07:37.They tend to revolve around London. You might have a view on this story.
:07:38. > :07:44.Should more have been done to try and use companies in the area to
:07:45. > :07:46.fill this role? You can contact us on the
:07:47. > :08:06.following. They are two of the most important
:08:07. > :08:09.industries off our East Coast ` fishing and offshore wind. But
:08:10. > :08:13.concerns are being raised about how they can work together. Plans have
:08:14. > :08:17.now been unveiled for the latest wind farm off the East Coast. It
:08:18. > :08:21.will cover nearly 30 square miles in the Lincolnshire Wash. But as our
:08:22. > :08:24.Business Correspondent Paul Murphy reports, there are already fears
:08:25. > :08:30.about its potential impact on one of the UK's most important areas for
:08:31. > :08:33.shellfish. Hundreds of wind turbines have
:08:34. > :08:42.already been installed off the East Coast and there are many more on the
:08:43. > :08:45.way. The latest is in the wash, and those plans are now being shared
:08:46. > :08:49.with local communities. 90 turbines linked by a cable to an onshore
:08:50. > :08:53.substation, and the promise of local jobs. What we have seen in other
:08:54. > :08:58.wind farm developments is that there are significant opportunities for
:08:59. > :09:01.the local and regional businesses. If we look at London whrere we
:09:02. > :09:04.recently built on the Thames Estuary, we have seen over 1000
:09:05. > :09:09.people engaged in the construction of that project. But the turbine
:09:10. > :09:15.field will need to exist alongside another important local industry,
:09:16. > :09:19.shellfish. It's thought to be worth around ?35 million a year for the
:09:20. > :09:24.local economy. Cockles, mussels, shrimp and crab. It is one of the
:09:25. > :09:30.biggest fishing areas of its kind in Europe. But the fishermen are
:09:31. > :09:34.worried. If we have got to fish less, if we have got to to turn
:09:35. > :09:37.round and give ground, if we are hampered and stop going to our
:09:38. > :09:43.normal historic fishing grounds, then we need some form of recompense
:09:44. > :09:46.to cover those losses. The fishermen's fears are that laying
:09:47. > :09:55.cable and driving turbines into the sea bed could destroy the shellfish
:09:56. > :10:00.habitat. You're now going to put pylons on. What's going to happen?
:10:01. > :10:03.Trawlermen here are already involved in a bitter legal dispute with
:10:04. > :10:09.another wind turbine company over alleged damage to their fishing
:10:10. > :10:15.grounds. These two industries seem a long way off from being able to work
:10:16. > :10:20.together. But the developers say they want to work with the shellfish
:10:21. > :10:23.industry. We are already right now building one wind farm off the east
:10:24. > :10:28.Yorkshire coast, so we've already been engaging with fishermen further
:10:29. > :10:32.north. We know how important it is to find a way of working together to
:10:33. > :10:37.find solutions that work for us and work for the fishing industry.
:10:38. > :10:40.Installation work begins next year. Perhaps this is a real test of
:10:41. > :10:53.whether these two important industries can actually work
:10:54. > :10:57.together. Vital for our part of the world.
:10:58. > :11:01.Should there be more protection for fishermen in the area orders the
:11:02. > :11:13.wind industry need freedom to develop? You can e`mail us and text
:11:14. > :11:17.us. Still ahead tonight: World War II veterans from Hull bring home a
:11:18. > :11:20.Flame of Liberation from Holland. And we've got some essential
:11:21. > :11:35.information for Hull City fans considering following their team
:11:36. > :11:46.into Europe. Neil Nicklin took this yesterday at
:11:47. > :11:57.Blue Bell Woods near North Cave. A lovely picture. Another photograph
:11:58. > :12:17.tomorrow night. I hope you have a good weekend. `` had. I heard about
:12:18. > :12:25.all of the rain. Anyway there are rumours on Twitter that you got
:12:26. > :12:29.married? Tomorrow is a bright start. It will turn showery from the west.
:12:30. > :12:37.You can see this weather fronts here. Later in the day but certainly
:12:38. > :12:40.the morning looks OK but we are looking at a downward trend with
:12:41. > :12:45.increasingly unsettled weather over the coming days. It has been another
:12:46. > :12:50.lovely day, temperatures around 16 degrees. One or two showers have
:12:51. > :12:54.been triggered. You can see the clouds on the pictures here. One or
:12:55. > :13:01.two showers in the next few hours, with sunny intervals in between. We
:13:02. > :13:10.have rain in Ireland at the moment which could push eastwards. 10
:13:11. > :13:20.Celsius is 50 Fahrenheit which will be the top temperature tonight. The
:13:21. > :13:23.sun will rise in the morning. Mostly dry and bright start to Wednesday
:13:24. > :13:28.when some sunshine. There will be one or two showers but the morning
:13:29. > :13:35.is not too bad. Clouds will increase an afternoon will turn showery.
:13:36. > :13:39.Showers pushing in on a stiffening south`west wind. Those temperatures
:13:40. > :13:44.as taking a bit of a head, a couple of degrees down on where there have
:13:45. > :13:56.been, with top temperatures of 14 degrees across the east riding. So,
:13:57. > :14:00.Thursday. We will see some outbreaks of rain spreading north easterly.
:14:01. > :14:08.Friday has some heavy, perhaps thundery showers developing and
:14:09. > :14:17.Saturday will be rainy again. It turns increasingly unsettled over
:14:18. > :14:29.the next few days. Jim is watching the show in Spain tonight. Even I
:14:30. > :14:36.can forecast there. See you tomorrow.
:14:37. > :14:39.World War II veterans from Hull will return from the Netherlands this
:14:40. > :14:41.week carrying a special flame, which commemorates the country's
:14:42. > :14:44.liberation. The flame is lit every year to mark the anniversary of when
:14:45. > :14:47.Germany surrendered in Holland. Members of the Normandy Veterans'
:14:48. > :14:50.Association were presented with the Flame of Liberation at the weekend
:14:51. > :14:53.in Holland. It's usually sent to communities across the country, but
:14:54. > :14:58.this year for the first time, it will also be carried back to the UK.
:14:59. > :15:18.Gemma Dawson has been following the veterans and sent this report.
:15:19. > :15:31.Remembering those they lost, here in the land they helped to liberate.
:15:32. > :15:37.Very emotional. Thinking about the lives were lost. Laying a wreath
:15:38. > :15:42.here, thinking about the airmen who drowned. British and Allied troops
:15:43. > :15:48.arrived in the Netherlands in 1944 ` after four years of German
:15:49. > :15:52.occupation. It was so hard to dry the Germans out of Holland and it
:15:53. > :16:05.was a long hard battle, and during that time the Dutch people didn't
:16:06. > :16:09.have any food. `` drive. They were starving. Now almost 70 years on,
:16:10. > :16:12.thousands turned up to welcome the veterans back ` walking side by side
:16:13. > :16:16.in a silent march through the streets of Wageningen. Later, the
:16:17. > :16:20.Chairman of the National Committee of Commemoration told me people here
:16:21. > :16:24.want to thank them for their efforts. Over the years people in
:16:25. > :16:32.the Netherlands and other countries realise that it is important what
:16:33. > :16:36.veterans have done. You have to honour them and that is happening
:16:37. > :16:39.now. I'm very happy about that. Every year, to mark the day when
:16:40. > :16:46.Germany surrendered in Holland, a flame is lit here. At this ceremony
:16:47. > :16:51.the veterans have received a special torch lit by the flame of
:16:52. > :17:03.liberation. It is a symbol of freedom which the veterans say is
:17:04. > :17:08.priceless. He is going to take the fire, take the torch, keep it
:17:09. > :17:18.burning. And marching. It's quite a unique feeling. I can't say any
:17:19. > :17:23.more. They're still here and to come to our commemoration is an honour
:17:24. > :17:27.for us. For us it is special, but always within the Netherlands and
:17:28. > :17:34.for the first time that is getting back to England. As communities from
:17:35. > :17:37.across the Netherlands collect the flame and head home, the veterans
:17:38. > :17:48.too will return to Hull where the flame will be welcomed on Thursday.
:17:49. > :17:51.Five months after it was badly damaged by flooding, the Boston
:17:52. > :17:56.Stump Tower has re`opened to the public. The well known landmark was
:17:57. > :17:59.damaged by the December tidal surge. Church officials say other repair
:18:00. > :18:07.work to parts of St Botolph's could take another 18 months. Simon Spark
:18:08. > :18:11.has more. Setting up shop again for the first
:18:12. > :18:17.time since the floods of December last year. It is a long recovery for
:18:18. > :18:22.the iconic landmark but now with the shop reopened things are starting to
:18:23. > :18:26.get back to normal. We are happy to be up and running again after a long
:18:27. > :18:35.time. It has been a long five mums with a lot of hard work. There's a
:18:36. > :18:42.lot of work to do and it is expensive. As churches go this is an
:18:43. > :18:46.attractive church. With a tower reopened people can witness the
:18:47. > :18:51.breathtaking views across Boston and of course the river that cause so
:18:52. > :18:56.much devastation just five months ago. It couldn't have looked more
:18:57. > :19:06.tranquil today but compare this with the scenes of December the 5th. It
:19:07. > :19:10.was devastating for people to see and just the volume of water that
:19:11. > :19:17.came through. People worked so hard on the building year ensuring it is
:19:18. > :19:23.maintained in a way that it helps the community. When things happen
:19:24. > :19:28.like that it is about the town. There is still a lot of work to do
:19:29. > :19:33.including the electrics, the entire heating system and replacing the
:19:34. > :19:45.platforms. All that could take another 18 months.
:19:46. > :19:50.Police are now treating a fire at a recycling plant in East Yorkshire as

:19:58. > :19:59.on Sunday. Firefighters have been using heavy lifting machinery to
:20:00. > :20:01.clear debris, which is still smouldering.
:20:02. > :20:06.At the moment we can't determine what the cause of the fire is so we
:20:07. > :20:09.are classing it as arson. We have a joint investigation between the
:20:10. > :20:13.police and the fire brigade and that is ongoing at the moment. So we are
:20:14. > :20:17.appealing for anyone in the area at the time to come forward. There is a
:20:18. > :20:20.lot of public highways at the back where people might be walking their
:20:21. > :20:30.dogs. We are asking them to come forward if they were in the area.
:20:31. > :20:35.Sun News just coming in. Firefighters are trying to control a
