Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Calls for an increase in the speed limit for lorries on one of our | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
busiest roads. The driving is dangerous on | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
occasions and the crossing by overtaking vehicles. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
The Grimsby MP Austin Mitchell is reprimanded following a tweet | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
A little boy with a serious heart condition is chosen to walk out at | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
How long we'll be fine weather last? Join me for the latest. | :00:36. | :00:53. | |
Campaigners say big changes are needed to a major route through | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Lorry drivers want the speed limit for them on the A15 | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
north of Lincoln to be increased from 40 to 50 miles an hour. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
They say it will help stop impatient car drivers taking risks | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Slow lorries causing long tailbacks on rule roads. It is a daily | :01:12. | :01:25. | |
frustration on the A15 in Lincolnshire for car and lorry | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
drivers. There is a car overtaking on a blind corner. This haulier says | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
if lorries were allowed to go faster on some stretches, it would stop | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
dangerous overtaking by impatient motorists. On the long straights | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
where visibility is good, if they put it up to 50, the cars that are | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
behind that of restricted, everything quill move. The speed | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
limit for heavy goods vehicles on single carriageway is is 40 miles an | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
hour. The government is carrying out a consultation on raising it to 45 | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
or 50 miles an hour. The change would affect 280,000 vehicles. They | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
overtake on bends, it is dangerous. A lorry is a long way, if you have | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
got to go slow, you have got to go slow. Lorry drivers in Scotland will | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
be able to travel at 50 as part of a trial, something this man wants to | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
be tested here, after he was caught speeding in his lorry. I have | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
measured on the stretch we are talking about summer you will get 12 | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
overtakes in that time from cars, one of which will be over double | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
white lines, and it is very dangerous. I thought I would test | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
out how long it takes to get from Lincoln along this road to | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Scunthorpe, and how much of the journey is spent stuck behind a | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
lorry. It was not long before I joined a tailback. I have completed | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
the journey pretty quickly, 22 minutes, an average speed of 50 | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
miles an hour. For half of the time, I was behind a lorry, which was | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
clearly going faster than 40 miles an hour. The vehicle handling will | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
be compromised, and putting the vehicles into the overtaking | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
manoeuvres for longer is a risk to other road users, so we do not feel | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
it is a good idea. Some motorists argued the best way to improve | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
safety on this route is to turn the road into a jaw carriageway. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Do you think the speed limit for lorries on single carriageways | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
The government has been consulting on this since 2012. We are expecting | :03:44. | :03:56. | |
the findings later this year. It is unlikely there will be any changes | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
soon. This is one stretch of the A15 which lorry drivers they would be | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
safe to travel at 50. It is wide and straight for a good mile or so, we | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
have seen some queues here this evening, and the argument goes that | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
if you put up speed limits, that cuts congestion, speeds up journey | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
times, and that is all good for business. It is worth remembering | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
that the County of Lincolnshire has no motorways, so this is a hot | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
topic, because it can be slow getting around. | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
Should the speed limit the increased? Would you be happy to see | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
lorries going faster? We will have some of your thoughts before we | :04:47. | :04:47. | |
finish at 7pm. The minor parties hoping to make | :04:48. | :05:06. | |
a mark in next week's The Labour MP for Great Grimsby | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Austin Mitchell has refused to apologise for comparing a US | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
pharmaceutical company to a rapist The Minister For Women Nicky Morgan | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
has described the tweet as deeply offensive and called for the Labour | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
leader Ed Miliband to take action. Mr Mitchell has dismissed the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
controversy as a storm in a teacup. Earlier, I spoke to Mr Mitchell and | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
asked him whether describing a drugs I am made to feel like Jeremy | :05:45. | :06:03. | |
Clarkson, I did not anticipate this. One of the definitions of rape in | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
the Oxford in this dictionary is to plunder, and that is what I fear | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
will happen to AstraZeneca. You talk about the rape of the countryside | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
and the rainforests, but I have had abuse landing on my head. Others do | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
not see it as a waste of time. It is, because people are missing the | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
point. In Twitter, it is difficult to express what I think is going to | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
the `` going to be the fate of AstraZeneca, subjugation to a | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
foreign company, cutting off research, and weakening of the | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
company, in 140 characters. I did it graphically. Perhaps I should have | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
used the word rapacious. Nicky Morgan has said, if you do not | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
apologise, you should be suspended. Do you want to apologise? All of the | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
people who talk about the HST raping the countryside in the same mode, | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
bigots that it's want to make a party political point, most of the | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
people are conservatives, they want to distract attention from the fact | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
that AstraZeneca is going to be taken over. Do you want to apologise | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
on the TV now, so everybody sees it? Note. I do apologise for | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
inconvenience in Ed Miliband, because of the reaction it has | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
caused, but what I said was the truth. You do not want to | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
apologise? I am sorry for the trouble I have caused the Labour | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Party, but what I said was essentially true. | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
Do you agree with him that it is a storm in a teacup, or should he not | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
have used the language he used? Police | :08:10. | :08:22. | |
and health`and`safety officials are investigating after a farm worker | :08:23. | :08:23. | |
was killed on a Lincolnshire farm. 60`year`old John Turner died | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
after he was crushed by a cow An inquest into his death has | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
been opened and adjourned. Five people have been hurt | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
in a crash near Skegness. The emergency services were called | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
to the A52 at Ingoldmells just The injured are aged between 16 | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
and 33 and were all travelling The Prime Minister has offered | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
the Nigerian government the use of a surveillance aircraft | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
from Lincolnshire to help search The Sentinel plane, | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
which is based at RAF Waddington, would work alongside US forces | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
and the Nigerian army. The girls were taken | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
from a school last month A week tomorrow, more than half | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
a billion people will be eligible Here on BBC Look North, we've been | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
looking at the choices facing voters We've heard from the Conservatives, | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
Labour, Tonight, we look at some | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
of the other parties hoping to make Recent experience tells us the | :09:29. | :09:44. | |
majority of people support one of the parties led by these four men. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
But there are signs that some voters could put their crosses in a | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
different box in next week's European elections. This provides | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
central heating. Green party candidates have been buoyed by at | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
least one opinion poll putting them have the Liberal Democrats. They | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
believe more homes like this one should benefit from renewable energy | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
such as solar power. People are finding it difficult to deal with | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
their fuel bills, so let's get some European resources in, let's link it | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
with local government resources, which are limited, to try to do some | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
worthwhile things. From green to red and white, these are not England | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
supporters making an early getaway to Brazil, but the English | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Democrats, demanding a greater voice for England in Brussels. People are | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
sick of the fact that the other home nations of the UK have their own | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
parliament, and England does not, and the people of England feel left | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
behind. Some believe we should not be part of the EU at all. See what | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
you think, getting out of Europe, we would be better, not spending the | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
money. We want to leave Europe, we do not think the referendum is the | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
right way, we think the ballot box for people to vote for us to leave | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
Europe. We would call for an immediate withdrawal outside of the | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
EU, Pol out of it altogether. It is not working. Voters in towns like | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Beverley are being targeted by a range of political parties. Some | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
want us to remain part of the EU, others want us out, and some are | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
calling for more direct power for Yorkshire. Yorkshire has a good | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
story to tell, a population of 5 million people, the economy is twice | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
the size of Wales, but it has the power of neither. We have enormous | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
potential. The Tour de France is coming here, Hull have the city of | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
culture, we want to be able to unleash the potential. Next | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Thursday, voters may choose to support the main political parties | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
or consider an alternative in this most unpredictable election | :12:01. | :12:01. | |
campaign. There's been a fall in the number of | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
people out of work in our region. Unemployment in Yorkshire | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
and the Humber is at 230,000. That's down by 8,000 compared to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
the previous quarter. In the East Midlands, which covers | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Lincolnshire, the jobless total is However, one candidate standing | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
in the local`council election in Hull, who is opposed to all cuts | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
to council jobs and services, says We welcome the reduction in | :12:30. | :12:45. | |
unemployment, but you have to look deeper than the figures, and look at | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
how many of those young people have been forced onto zero hours | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
contracts, how many are part`time, how many Arsenal having to claim | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
benefits, because most people claiming benefits are working, so it | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
is the working poor that are the ones who we need to look at. | :13:02. | :13:05. | |

Keep the photos coming in with the good weather. This was before the | :13:41. | :13:49. | |
good weather came. Another picture tomorrow night. | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
This one, Mr Hudson is quite sexy now he has had the work done, he is | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
the, shattered Acca for the menopausal generation! We should not | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
have done that before the watershed! | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
What work? I will leave the Botox to you! For the next 24 hours, it is | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
not bad, there will be more cloud tomorrow. Variable cloud, some warm | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
sunny spells as well, just the risk of the odd light shower, so not | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
quite the clear blue sky we have had today. It is a lovely outlook, | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
Friday and Saturday look nice. A question as to when the weather will | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
break down. Not until late on Sunday, it seems, which is good | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
news, but the timing may change. Lots of cloud, which will spill | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
Southeast overnight. It has not stopped temperatures reaching 17 | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
this afternoon. Overnight, it turns cloudy, with the odd light shower | :15:04. | :15:04. | |
possible. Variable, perhaps large amounts of | :15:05. | :15:24. | |
cloud through tomorrow, it may well produce the odd light shower, but | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
some good breaks coming through, some sunny spells, though the | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
sunshine may be hazy. A light breeze. A westerly breeze in | :15:32. | :15:43. | |
Bridlington, much better news for the coast. The temperatures are even | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
higher on Friday, a lot of sunshine, a beautiful day. The warm weather | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
lasts until the weekend, just the chance of a shower on Saturday | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
afternoon and a bit of patchy rain late on Sunday. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
I hope our writer was concentrating on the forecast! Have a nice | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
evening. We do not need a reply! This is all mine! | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
More than 100 personnel from RAF Coningsby have been deployed to | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
help patrol the skies above the Baltic states. | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
Four aircraft left Lincolnshire last month and will spend 16 weeks | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
in Lithuania as part of the NATO operation. | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
It comes amid tensions in the region between Russia and Ukraine. | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
13,000 feet over Eastern Europe, typhoons from RAF Coningsby | :16:41. | :16:49. | |
manoeuvre alongside our Voyager jet. As tensions between Russia and | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Ukraine continue to rise, these are among four typhoons from the | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
squadron helping to protect the Baltic states and secure NATO | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
airspace. They have been called to a loss of litigation is a craft, they | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
are joining up to try to see what state the aeroplane is in, have a | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
good look, try and identify what type of aircraft it is. The crews | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
have been deployed to this former Soviet airbase in Lithuania, it has | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
taken an RAF team to bring tonnes of equipment and aircraft shelters as | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
well as these jets. They are ready to scramble at a moment's notice. | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
The mission is about reassurance to the Baltic states. As an aircraft in | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
distressed, or an aircraft that has not followed a plan, or a military | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
aircraft that needs to be identified. We are excited to be | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
here, we have been made to feel very welcome in Lithuania, it is great to | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
get stuck in. The Lincolnshire crews were sent here just over two weeks | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
ago amid the West's condemnation of Russia's behaviour. The nearby | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Baltic states do not have their own air defence fighters so these jets, | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
along with others from RAF Waddington, will support other | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
allies and provide reassurance. It is not dissimilar to the task we | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
carry out in the UK, the duties are fairly similar, the air space, | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
working with the local controllers has been fine, we have been flying | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
missions over Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, to various international | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
airports as well, as part of our reassurance task. This is what | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
happens if an unidentified aircraft approaches or enters without | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
approval. Airborne within minutes. We are used to it, both at RAF | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
Coningsby and at RAF Leuchars. It is not routine, but we are | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
comfortable. This is the first time the RAF has deployed on an air | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
policing mission for ten years. It is likely this part of the world | :19:05. | :19:05. | |
could be a base for some time yet. Last night, we were talking about | :19:06. | :19:18. | |
the pavement and the road, he said `` the shared space. One person | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
says, this is dangerous and impractical. | :19:25. | :19:53. | |
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been paying credit to the | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
Hull City manager Steve Bruce ahead of this weekend's FA Cup final. | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
The Frenchman held his side's pre`match press conference | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
Fear at the Arsenal training ground, the talk has been about them | :20:07. | :20:20. | |
breaking their 90s `` nine year wait for a trophy. Here, that counts as a | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
long time. Arsene Wenger took time out to consider the work that Steve | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
Bruce had done at Hull City over the past years. He has done extremely | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
well, I said that two weeks ago, he has done extremely well to keep them | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
up in the Premier League and get them to the FA Cup final. It is a | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
great achievement. Back in Hull, one person that wants to dent the dream | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
is Curtis Davies. For him, the FA Cup has lost none of its magic, and | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
to lift it would be a dream country. To win an FA Cup is the stuff you | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
dream of. To play in an FA Cup final is one thing, that is a dream | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
accomplished, but once you get there, I have said on a number of | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
occasions, you want to win it. I am hoping that we have got enough on | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
the day to do that. There can be little doubt that Arsenal start as | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
out and out favourites, pretty much like Manchester City last season. | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
But as we saw emerged as winners, so maybe there | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
is hope for Hull. Very few people get to walk on the | :21:28. | :21:42. | |
pitch at Wembley, but Freddie will be one of them. He has been chosen | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
as the mascot for the FA Cup final. It is one of the things on his to`do | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
list, and he is getting ready for his moment in the spotlight. | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
Walking out at the KC Stadium is the stuff dreams are made of. Imagine | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
walking out on the hallowed turf of Wembley. Freddie has only three | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
sleeps to wait. At first, I was scared. But then, I got excited. He | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
has a terminal heart condition, and along with riding in a speedboat, | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
being a mascot was on his to`do list, so what is he most looking | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
forward to? Walking onto the field at Wembley. I will be shaking | :22:28. | :22:36. | |
hands, then they take me back to the changing room, but I will still be | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
in my kit when I go back on my coach. Seeing his face when he walks | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
out onto the pitch, he will be so proud, and it will make me... You | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
can not get memories like that, this does not happen everyday. It will be | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
a big day for his sister, as well. She was able to have the surgery | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
Freddie is too unwell for. My heart has been fixed, his can not be. | :23:08. | :23:20. | |
Every second counts. We have no timescale, Freddie could die today, | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
he might not even make Saturday. All he cares about is his lunch. If I do | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
not like it, I will eat what my mum will make! He will not eat jam, so | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
he will see what it is, if it beats his approval, he will eat it, if | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
not, I have got to have a spare one in my bag. Never mind a Hull City | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
victory, we have got to pray it is not jam! | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
What a big day it will be. Ducklings living | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
in Bridlington have found an unlikely bodyguard to protect | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
them from threatening seagulls. A barnacle goose has taken to | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
escorting the ducks and their newly`hatched chicks | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
around the harbour, He'll chase away any seagull | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
that gets too close. If you know a story that we do not | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
know about, send us an e`mail. Let's get a recap of the | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
national and regional headlines. The death toll rises in the Turkish | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
mine disaster, 250 men are confirmed to have died. | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Austin Mitchell refuses to apologise for a tweet which compared and | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
American drugs firm to a rapist. Most of the people attacking me are | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
conservatives who want to exacerbate the issue to distract attention from | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
the fact that AstraZeneca is going to be taken over. | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
The weather forecast for tomorrow, it gets better and better, most | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
places try and bright, some cloud. It feels very warm. | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
The speed limits for lorries should be increased on roads like the A15, | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
a big response on this. Patrick says, it will not help, the roads | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
need to be a dual carriageway, if not, it should and how people to | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
pass. Rachel says, speed is not a factor, it is more the impatient | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
drivers overtaking in the wrong places and taking unnecessary risks. | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
One person says, allowing lorries to travel at 50 would help, because it | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
would stop some impatient drivers trying to pass, but it will not stop | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
or accident. We will have some more tomorrow | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
night. Have a nice evening, see you tomorrow. | :25:58. | :26:23. | |
Europe. A community of nations which can do no wrong. | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
A perfect brotherhood in which we all share. | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
the benefits are obvious to being in... | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
Hampering a British recovery and harping on about climate change. | :26:40. | :26:44. |
