:00:15. > :00:18.officers to investigate the death of their son in Kenyan police custody.

:00:19. > :00:26.We are calling for what any other family would call for, which is

:00:27. > :00:30.justice. Merge into Hull or stay in east Yorkshire, the choice facing

:00:31. > :00:34.people in part of the East Riding. They lost the match but could Hull

:00:35. > :00:39.still end up as winners after the FA Cup final?

:00:40. > :00:44.Imagine the global coverage the FA Cup got and the profile that's given

:00:45. > :00:49.the city, it's been amazing. And tonight, the gardeners looking

:00:50. > :00:53.for gold at the world's most famous Flower Show. It's been another

:00:54. > :01:04.beautiful day but what about the rest of the week? Join me for all

:01:05. > :01:10.the details. Good evening. Two years ago Alex

:01:11. > :01:15.Monson died after being taken into police custody in Kenya. Today, his

:01:16. > :01:19.sister and father, who is a Lincolnshire Lord, took a petition

:01:20. > :01:23.to the Kenyan Embassy to urge authorities to allow British

:01:24. > :01:28.detectives to investigate. Alex died after a blow to the head. A report

:01:29. > :01:31.by Kenyan detectives cleared local police of any involvement. Now his

:01:32. > :01:37.family want the Metropolitan Police to be allowed to open their own

:01:38. > :01:42.inquiry. Caroline Bilton reports. He died two years ago in police

:01:43. > :01:46.custody in Kenya. Today, Alex Monson's family took their quest for

:01:47. > :01:50.answers to the Kenyan Embassy in London. It felt like two years was a

:01:51. > :01:55.long enough time to have waited and that we would start coming in person

:01:56. > :01:59.to ask for personal assurance that something was being done. We just

:02:00. > :02:03.hoped by reaching out to the Kenyan High Commission as Kenya's

:02:04. > :02:08.representatives here in the UK that they might help us. Alex Monson was

:02:09. > :02:15.a son of the Lincolnshire peer Lord Monson. He had been living here in

:02:16. > :02:21.Kenya since 2009. 28`year`old Alex was arrested on drugs charges on

:02:22. > :02:27.18th May, 2012. In the early hours of the 19th friends visited him in

:02:28. > :02:34.jail reporting that he was both jovial and normal. By 9. 9.30 that

:02:35. > :02:40.morning investigators say officers realised he hadn't woken up and

:02:41. > :02:49.breathing heavily. By 5. 10 he was dead. The family believe the police

:02:50. > :02:52.have questions to answer. Alexander entered the police station as a

:02:53. > :03:00.healthy man and he came out in a coma. He was with police the entire

:03:01. > :03:04.time. From when he was healthy to when he was dead. A investigation by

:03:05. > :03:08.Kenyan authorities have ruled out police involvement. The family are

:03:09. > :03:12.today calling for the Kenyan Government to allow Scotland Yard to

:03:13. > :03:21.investigate. We are calling for what any other family would call for,

:03:22. > :03:26.which is justice and we are seeking a prosecution of those responsible.

:03:27. > :03:36.In a statement the Foreign Office says:

:03:37. > :03:43.His death remains a mystery but his family say they won't give up their

:03:44. > :03:49.fight for answers. Of course we will follow the story

:03:50. > :03:54.if there are any developments. In a moment the BBC team that's

:03:55. > :04:01.transformed the home and the life of a seriously ill girl from Spalding.

:04:02. > :04:06.People living in areas of east Yorkshire will be asked to vote in

:04:07. > :04:10.September over whether they want to become part of Hull. East Riding of

:04:11. > :04:14.Yorkshire council will get the views of people living near the boundary

:04:15. > :04:18.in a special poll later this year. In a moment we will hear from the

:04:19. > :04:23.leader of East Riding Council, but first this report.

:04:24. > :04:29.Hull is a city steeped in maritime history. Last year it won the title

:04:30. > :04:34.for UK City of Culture for 2017. The city needs to grow and Hull City

:04:35. > :04:38.Council has a plan, to expand the city's boundaries in to what is now

:04:39. > :04:46.the East Riding. This September people living in communities near

:04:47. > :04:50.Hull's existing boundary, will all get a chance to vote on these two

:04:51. > :04:54.questions: Do they want to remain in the East Riding? Or be part of

:04:55. > :05:01.Hull's expansion? And, do they want to keep the so`called green space in

:05:02. > :05:06.between? There's been no significant changes since 1996 when the

:05:07. > :05:11.boundaries were last redrawn and Humberside County Council was

:05:12. > :05:16.abolished. Neither council has the power to redraw the boundaries. It

:05:17. > :05:22.will be used to gauge local opinion and any eventual changes would be

:05:23. > :05:27.made by the Secretary of State. We are asking for your thoughts on

:05:28. > :05:32.this in a moment, first I spoke with the leader of East Riding Council

:05:33. > :05:37.and asked him was the concern about Hull taking over or was it snobbery?

:05:38. > :05:42.I don't think it's anything to do with snobbery. We get on well with

:05:43. > :05:47.the city council, they get on well with us. It's about identity. Is it

:05:48. > :05:52.like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas? I think it pretty much is

:05:53. > :05:55.actually. I am pretty sure the vote will be overwhelming but we need to

:05:56. > :05:58.prove that and need to ask people. Why do you need to prove it? We need

:05:59. > :06:01.to demonstrate this is a waste of time and effort on behalf of the

:06:02. > :06:06.city council and that actually the public don't want it so we need to

:06:07. > :06:10.prove that beyond doubt. Hull City council would say they are

:06:11. > :06:15.disadvantaged by not having leafy suburbs like other cities, do you

:06:16. > :06:22.agree with that? No, I don't actually. If you look at statistics,

:06:23. > :06:25.they're no different to many cities throughout the country. It's a

:06:26. > :06:29.non`argument, frankly. You are just trying to lance the boil and get it

:06:30. > :06:33.down on paper that we don't want to be part of Hull, that's what you are

:06:34. > :06:36.trying to do? Let's get it over with and celebrate all the great things

:06:37. > :06:41.happening in the city and the East Riding and move on. So you want the

:06:42. > :06:43.city to be down the road so you can come and use the waterfront and

:06:44. > :06:51.theatres and stuff like that but you don't want to be part of it? No,

:06:52. > :06:57.they can come and use ` come to East Riding and the Spa in Bridlington.

:06:58. > :07:02.We welcome people. We are not building brick walls around it. We

:07:03. > :07:06.want people to live in. If you lived in Cottingham say, what would you

:07:07. > :07:09.vote? I would be voting to stay exactly as we are, as we have done

:07:10. > :07:14.for send trees and that's the best place to be `` centuries. Are you

:07:15. > :07:18.sure it's not snobbery? Absolutely, yeah. There's no snobbery about me,

:07:19. > :07:22.I am sure you would agree with that and I don't think it is on behalf of

:07:23. > :07:27.other residents. OK, good to have you on the programme.

:07:28. > :07:33.There we are, the leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. We want

:07:34. > :07:37.to hear from you. Do you agree with the Councillor that it's not

:07:38. > :07:40.snobbery? The vote is in September. Let me know if you are voting

:07:41. > :07:45.especially in one of the boundary areas.

:07:46. > :08:08.We look forward to hearing from you. And we will have some of your

:08:09. > :08:13.stories and thoughts before we finish tonight.

:08:14. > :08:17.Some more news. Firefighters from Lincolnshire have flown to Sarajevo

:08:18. > :08:22.to help victims of severe flooding. It's part of the UK contribution to

:08:23. > :08:25.efforts. A national emergency has been declared after the floods

:08:26. > :08:31.caused thousands of people to be moved out of their homes.

:08:32. > :08:37.A Hull school which has been earmarked for closure will be used

:08:38. > :08:40.for adult education. It opened in 2003 but was placed in special

:08:41. > :08:45.measures three times. Hull City council says the site will remain

:08:46. > :08:50.open for current year ten pupils until 2015 so that they can complete

:08:51. > :08:56.their GCSEs. It was a match beamed to more than

:08:57. > :09:00.100 countries and seen by an estimated 500 million people around

:09:01. > :09:04.the world. Hull City's first ever FA Cup final ended in defeat to Arsenal

:09:05. > :09:12.on Saturday at Wembley but it's hoped there will be long`term

:09:13. > :09:16.benefits to the area. Leanne Brown reports on the impact of Hull's

:09:17. > :09:20.exposure on the world stage. The game may be over, but flags are

:09:21. > :09:26.still flying in Hull as the legacy of the FA Cup final continues.

:09:27. > :09:30.It's been absolutely amazing. You can imagine the global coverage that

:09:31. > :09:33.the FA Cup got and the profile that has given the city, even after

:09:34. > :09:35.Saturday a lot of the Arsenal supporters were saying they must go

:09:36. > :09:40.to Hull for things other than football. Hopefully that will be

:09:41. > :09:44.people coming up at weekends, during the week for city breaks. This is

:09:45. > :09:49.about really getting Hull on the map as a destination.

:09:50. > :09:55.A dedicated team went to Wembley at the weekend to promote the city to

:09:56. > :10:01.anyone who would listen. We brought our iconic white phone boxes, some

:10:02. > :10:04.dancers. The feedback has been positive. Over the last six months

:10:05. > :10:08.we have had so much good news that the people of Hull feel it's our

:10:09. > :10:12.time. This map shows activity on Twitter over the weekend. People

:10:13. > :10:17.were talking about the FA Cup in places as far away as Malaysia,

:10:18. > :10:23.Africa, and America. When you get it on the type of scale that you get

:10:24. > :10:28.for something like the FA Cup final, the power of it is phenomenal, it's

:10:29. > :10:34.so many people talking about it. It's demonstrated previously in the

:10:35. > :10:38.City of Culture bid and demonstrated again around the FA Cup as well.

:10:39. > :10:41.Even in London today at the Chelsea Flower Show people were still

:10:42. > :10:45.talking about it. I believe in Hull. But I am an Arsenal fan. I realise

:10:46. > :10:49.the people there have passion. They've got drive and determination.

:10:50. > :10:53.Lots of Chelsea fans were rooting for Hull because they didn't want

:10:54. > :10:56.Arsenal to win. We were rooting for them as a Stoke`on`Trent team

:10:57. > :11:02.associated with Hull because we lost out a few years ago. We wanted you

:11:03. > :11:10.to win. So although the match ended in defeat, it's looking like Hull

:11:11. > :11:14.has won in many other ways. We saw pictures there of the Chelsea

:11:15. > :11:20.Flower Show. We will be live there later in the programme. Still ahead:

:11:21. > :11:26.The gardeners looking for gold at the world's most famous Flower Show.

:11:27. > :11:36.And early joy turned to FA Cup despair but Hull City left Wembley

:11:37. > :11:45.with their heads held high. Tonight the BBC programme D IY

:11:46. > :11:53.spores SOS features `` SOS features a family from Spalding.

:11:54. > :11:59.The family home wasn't wheelchair friendly. Now thanks to the team

:12:00. > :12:05.from the BBC the future for Dakota is much brighter. For Paula and her

:12:06. > :12:09.daughter every day was a struggle. The family bungalow near Spalding

:12:10. > :12:14.wasn't suitable for Dakota's needs but major building work was out of

:12:15. > :12:20.their price range. She was given a life expectancy of 15 years. But we

:12:21. > :12:25.were told that if we could keep her mobile then we had the potential of

:12:26. > :12:32.adding another 21 years on to her life expectancy. As a mother, what

:12:33. > :12:40.else do you want more than that? The family was put forward for the BBC's

:12:41. > :12:44.D IY SOS. Weeks later an army of builders turned up. You have to be

:12:45. > :12:49.able to move everything out of the house, move yourself out. We have a

:12:50. > :12:57.lot of animals here. We had to find places for them to be homed. It was

:12:58. > :13:00.a marathon task. The ambitious makeover was far from simple. Just

:13:01. > :13:04.as the crew arrived on site, temperatures dropped well below

:13:05. > :13:10.freezing. The whole project hung in the balance. It's minus four around

:13:11. > :13:15.here which means that the concrete won't go off, plaster won't go off,

:13:16. > :13:20.mortar won't go off. We have bricks delivered today. A bit of a worry.

:13:21. > :13:24.With nine days to finish the job, builders battled some of the worst

:13:25. > :13:30.weather in years. And conscious that this could make a huge difference

:13:31. > :13:35.for Paula's family. This, in terms of Dakota's life is absolutely a

:13:36. > :13:39.life`saver. There's no question. Could the team beat the British

:13:40. > :13:42.weather? And would the family's new home be everything they had hoped

:13:43. > :13:50.for? Well, you will have to tune in tonight to find out.

:13:51. > :13:56.We look forward to seeing the transformation. It's on BBC1

:13:57. > :14:00.tonight. That's at 9.00pm. We will tune in later on. Good

:14:01. > :14:09.evening young man. What a beautiful day again. Yes, you open read it!

:14:10. > :14:14.No, you make it. Did you enjoy it at Wembley? Yes.

:14:15. > :14:23.You now know what a football is. It's not a bad one, although it's a

:14:24. > :14:30.deteriorating picture over the next few days. Tomorrow perhaps a grey

:14:31. > :14:34.start. Sunny spells, a few thunder storms breaking out. An unsettled

:14:35. > :14:38.looking chart. The storms will be quite well`scattered. Still a good

:14:39. > :14:42.deal of fine weather on offer. All the storms have been to the west of

:14:43. > :14:51.us today. We have had a beautiful day. 24C. Just a chance of an

:14:52. > :14:56.isolated thundery downpour tonight but hit and miss. Many of us will

:14:57. > :15:00.stay dry. Low cloud and mistiness for the east Yorkshire coastline

:15:01. > :15:06.moving inland with lowest temperatures. Another mild one.

:15:07. > :15:17.The sun will rise in the morning. Some of us waking up to a different

:15:18. > :15:21.start. A grey start especially across parts of east Yorkshire,

:15:22. > :15:24.mistiness and the odd shower from the overnight period but skies will

:15:25. > :15:28.brighten and we will see sunny spells developing but there you can

:15:29. > :15:33.see a risk of scattered thunderstorms. A few of them again

:15:34. > :15:38.pushing up the western side but some later tomorrow may push across

:15:39. > :15:45.central parts of east Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Top temperatures,

:15:46. > :15:54.along the coast temperatures lower at 17C. Inland 22C possibly. A tee

:15:55. > :15:59.gree or so down on values over `` a degree or so down on values over the

:16:00. > :16:01.weekend. Wednesday, it turns much cooler and wetter through Thursday.

:16:02. > :16:16.That's the forecast. My tweet was, he may have written

:16:17. > :16:24.five books but most are in the charity book shop! Along with John

:16:25. > :16:26.Kettle's! See you tomorrow. More than 150,000 people will go through

:16:27. > :16:31.the gates of the Chelsea flour this week. It's an international ``

:16:32. > :16:34.Chelsea Flower Show this week. It's an international stage for gardeners

:16:35. > :16:38.to showcase skills and build their businesses. The Queen is there this

:16:39. > :16:48.evening. Amanda White got there first.

:16:49. > :16:58.It's the greatest celebration of our British love affair with our

:16:59. > :17:11.gardens. Chelsea is for the best of the best. Much of it grown in

:17:12. > :17:16.Lincolnshire. A new daffodil for a young Prince.

:17:17. > :17:19.This is a good flower. It's a garden variety. We have grown it on

:17:20. > :17:25.specifically to use in gardens and that's what it's for. This part of

:17:26. > :17:29.the pavilion is little Lincolnshire. They're going to have to rename it.

:17:30. > :17:36.It's impressive at how much variety from that part of Britain.

:17:37. > :17:50.Lincolnshire is everywhere. En Victorian violas from Lincoln.

:17:51. > :17:59.Lincoln firecracker, it's a lovely two`tone orange.

:18:00. > :18:04.So much here at Chelsea is sheer decadence but the flowers remain the

:18:05. > :18:09.star. The planting here was done by a man from Cleethorpes. We started a

:18:10. > :18:13.couple of weeks ago, Saturday morning, and the place was bare

:18:14. > :18:18.earth. We turn up, have a look. We design with our client base and

:18:19. > :18:22.budgets in mind. We could go off easily and design fantastic gardens

:18:23. > :18:30.but people can't afford to have them so we design real gardens for real

:18:31. > :18:39.people. In the grandpa victimian Debbie `` in the grand pavilion was

:18:40. > :18:46.Debbie. Thrilled with the way the garden has turned out. Horticultural

:18:47. > :18:50.and floristry don't usually come together, we are thrilled.

:18:51. > :19:05.Lincolnshire really contributes to a show which will amaze and inspire in

:19:06. > :19:10.equal measure. In Manchester the black and whites

:19:11. > :19:18.were left a man down after Jason Crooks was sent off after the

:19:19. > :19:22.half`time break. A try from Hodgson. Hull KR 38, Hull FC 24. The magic

:19:23. > :19:25.weekend. Back to the FA Cup final and Hull

:19:26. > :19:29.City hope that this is only the start of a long period of success.

:19:30. > :19:32.In July, the club will play their first game in Europe before

:19:33. > :19:37.embarking on another season of Premier League football. Our sports

:19:38. > :19:42.reporter Simon Clarke looks at the impact of the game on the club.

:19:43. > :19:47.The eye has watched over the Tigers this year and the eyes of the world

:19:48. > :19:51.have viewed press coverage which has taken Hull City to another level.

:19:52. > :19:56.Nobody is prouder than the club's captain from the 80s, Gareth

:19:57. > :20:01.Roberts. He, like all in amber, enjoyed and endured. We gave them a

:20:02. > :20:05.great game. The only thing that let us down was the thing that gave the

:20:06. > :20:13.advantage to Arsenal, their squad, the depth in the squad. The FA Cup

:20:14. > :20:16.delivered all the pomp and circumstance before The Tigers

:20:17. > :20:20.decided to rip up the script. It was something nice to look back on that,

:20:21. > :20:25.not too many people have managed to achieve that. It would have felt

:20:26. > :20:32.much better had we gone on to get the victory. Yorkshire hearts danced

:20:33. > :20:45.as the Gunners sank to the volley of Davis. Then a little reality check.

:20:46. > :20:48.And untimely Tigers injuries. I pulled my groin, unfortunately, I

:20:49. > :20:54.jumped for a header and I just felt it go. Arsenal struck.

:20:55. > :21:02.It's gone to the far post. Energy`sapping. It was hard coming

:21:03. > :21:06.off from exhaustion. I knew we were ready for 120 minutes. You are

:21:07. > :21:16.playing against a great team. Then an 11th hour dagger through the

:21:17. > :21:21.heart of east Yorkshire's finest. Sick as a dog to see them lift the

:21:22. > :21:28.trophy. We started off brilliantly and to lose it late on, really sort

:21:29. > :21:32.of, a big disappointment. Now Steve Bruce and his players can brush off

:21:33. > :21:37.defeat because Europe is on its way. The dust is settling on an epic FA

:21:38. > :21:42.Cup final but for Hull City the journey doesn't end there. You see

:21:43. > :21:47.on the 31st July they begin their first steps in a European football

:21:48. > :21:57.competition. These are extraordinary times to be a Hull City supporter.

:21:58. > :22:02.That is the football part. Our cameras have been capturing stories

:22:03. > :22:06.of the weekend in Hull and also down in London as thousands of City fans

:22:07. > :23:30.MUSIC Here are some of the best pictures.

:23:31. > :23:37.We are proud of you! It was just fantastic, wasn't it? It

:23:38. > :23:41.was made by the weather, as well. Thank you very much indeed if you

:23:42. > :23:46.went there. I hope you enjoyed it. If you watched it on the TV, hope

:23:47. > :23:48.you enjoyed it, as well. You sent loads of pictures, thank you very

:23:49. > :23:53.much indeed for all of those. We will put them together in a

:23:54. > :23:58.scrapbook on our Facebook page, thank you for thinking of us and for

:23:59. > :24:01.all of the photos. If you have a story you think we should know

:24:02. > :24:06.about, drop us an e`mail with the details.

:24:07. > :24:10.The main national and regional headlines: AstraZeneca rejects a

:24:11. > :24:13.final offer from the US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. It

:24:14. > :24:19.would have been the biggest ever foreign takeover of a British firm.

:24:20. > :24:22.Two years after their son died in police custody in Kenya, a
