:00:18. > :00:26.I can hardly remember accident at all. It is surprising and

:01:40. > :01:54.We know the men were unloading a cargo of wood from this ship
:01:55. > :02:00.yesterday morning when they became ill. They were taken to hospital but
:02:01. > :02:05.all died. Two other members of the crew were unaffected. Police today
:02:06. > :02:09.confirmed the men were taken ill. They were not injured by falling
:02:10. > :02:14.cargo as was first speculated but they say it is too early to say what
:02:15. > :02:18.caused the become ill until the result of postmortem examinations,

:02:30. > :02:32.At the moment the cause of their death is unknown.
:02:33. > :02:35.All we know is they've been working on the ship.
:02:36. > :02:40.As a result of that they've taken ill and they
:02:41. > :02:44.have been taken to hospital. It is early days for us to be able
:02:45. > :02:48.to say what is the cause of death. For those who know the port well,
:02:49. > :02:51.what happened has come as a shock. I think a lot of people will be
:02:52. > :02:55.frightened and scared and want to know what has happened.
:02:56. > :02:58.People have worked in the docks in dangerous situations for years.
:02:59. > :03:02.I can hardly remember an accident at all over the years.
:03:03. > :03:05.It is really surprising and upsetting.
:03:06. > :03:09.It is sad news. I'm from Goole and all my family
:03:10. > :03:12.have worked on the docks all lives. It is not a regular occurrence
:03:13. > :03:15.and it is sad. In a statement, Associated British
:03:16. > :03:18.Ports, which runs this dock, said, we are continuing to work with
:03:19. > :03:23.the relevant authorities. Our thoughts are with those affected
:03:24. > :03:27.by this tragic shipboard accident. The fact is accident levels have
:03:28. > :03:29.gone down, thankfully, but nevertheless,
:03:30. > :03:33.despite all that work, everyone acknowledges it is a dangerous
:03:34. > :03:36.environment and I suspect seafaring will always have a significant
:03:37. > :03:39.element of danger and risk. The police and marine accident
:03:40. > :03:43.investigation branch are now trying to establish what happened,
:03:44. > :03:51.but we are told it could be weeks before we have any answers.
:03:52. > :04:00.How common are accidents like this? They are rare but not unheard of and
:04:01. > :04:03.figures from the health and safety executive showed 15 people in
:04:04. > :04:08.Yorkshire and seven in the East Midlands were killed in industrial
:04:09. > :04:12.accidents in the last year. 1000 people are killed worldwide in
:04:13. > :04:17.maritime accidents every year, so it can be a risky business. The aim of
:04:18. > :04:22.this investigation now will to the establish what happens and also how
:04:23. > :04:27.to prevent it happening again. We'll let you know if we do hear anything.

:05:33. > :05:38.fantastic support at local level with local councillors in place.
:05:39. > :05:43.UKIP are targeting Grimsby currently held by Labour who is stepping down
:05:44. > :05:49.next year and Boston which is represented by Conservative
:05:50. > :05:54.ministers. In Boston alone, UKIP polled more than 50% of the boat in
:05:55. > :05:58.the European elections. They are the only parties who will do something
:05:59. > :06:04.about the problems we have got in Lincolnshire. That is with migration
:06:05. > :06:11.and the way the town has been spoiled. I am not racist but there
:06:12. > :06:18.are too many foreign people in this country, and in Boston. I hope they
:06:19. > :06:26.don't create tensions here. We have had it already and the situation is
:06:27. > :06:31.a little bit under control. As a foreign minister his work is
:06:32. > :06:34.overseas, but the leader of his Conservative council says he needs
:06:35. > :06:43.to reconnect with people closer to home. Mark has been doing an awful
:06:44. > :06:50.lot of work in Boston but he has not been the best communicate in that
:06:51. > :06:54.work. He spent a lot of time out of the country. My message to him is
:06:55. > :07:02.that you need to get Boston back first as your priority. Marco wasn't
:07:03. > :07:05.available for interview today. UKIP's ultimate aim is to see
:07:06. > :07:10.Britain leave the European Union but they know they can only achieve that
:07:11. > :07:16.if they have a power base at Westminster. One of Lincolnshire's
:07:17. > :07:22.MEPs was back on the campaign trail. He is UKIP's candidate in the
:07:23. > :07:27.election team place next week. That'll be a test of how the world
:07:28. > :07:28.of Westminster politics has changed following the events of the past few
:07:29. > :07:36.days. Well you saw her there in Tim's
:07:37. > :07:40.report ` and now Jane Collins, one of UKIP's newest MEPs
:07:41. > :07:48.for Yorkshire and the Humber, is It all started by you sitting at
:07:49. > :07:55.home on the survey shouting at the TV. Are you going to stay on the
:07:56. > :08:05.sober or get out? I am going to be the eyes and ears of people. And MEP
:08:06. > :08:12.on ?80,000 a year, when he don't think we should be in Europe. It is
:08:13. > :08:15.strange. It is an ironic situation. You are in a job you hope you lose
:08:16. > :08:22.because we want to come out of the EU. You are happy to take the
:08:23. > :08:27.?80,000 salary? We don't look at it at that way. I don't think the
:08:28. > :08:32.voters are. We are going to represent the people that will
:08:33. > :08:35.upload photos, who had a mistress of the European Union and Parliament
:08:36. > :08:40.and we will represent them and do our job. But there is like David
:08:41. > :08:53.Cameron who have called you races in the past, how insulting is that? ``
:08:54. > :08:59.racist. It is insulting. They live in a bubble. What message does
:09:00. > :09:07.leaving the EU centre companies like Siemens? They would run a mile from
:09:08. > :09:10.Hull. I don't agree with that comment. They said they were
:09:11. > :09:15.concerned with our membership but let me make it clear. Business and
:09:16. > :09:21.trade is not based on the back part of a political union. It is based on
:09:22. > :09:26.supply and demand. Is Siemens wasn't yet those jobs would go and we would
:09:27. > :09:33.lose it. You are saying we should be out of Europe. I am delighted for
:09:34. > :09:38.the people in Hull he'll get the jobs with Siemens, but you have to

:13:13. > :13:15.The plan would see 12 turbines stretch along the brow of this hill,
