:00:16. > :00:23.city council in whole clashes with the unions over plans to cut opening
:00:24. > :00:28.hours in the museums and libraries. Once you start taking one hour here
:00:29. > :00:36.and one another the, it is the beginning of the end. If we want a
:00:37. > :00:39.successful high Street, we need to have businesses in the, shops and
:00:40. > :00:47.the other that cater for the community. And the criminal, the
:00:48. > :00:53.Grimsby sea captain who had an agonising choice during World War I.
:00:54. > :00:59.And the noisy peacocks that have divided and Yorkshire village. The
:01:00. > :01:07.very latest weather forecast coming up later.
:01:08. > :01:20.Good evening. In two and a half years Hull time, will be the City of
:01:21. > :01:26.Culture. But today, museum workers are being asked to take industrial
:01:27. > :01:35.action over cuts to services across the city. The council saving it to
:01:36. > :01:38.find ?150,000 of savings from the culture budget, but unions argue it
:01:39. > :01:45.is an area which needs to be protected ahead of the City of
:01:46. > :01:49.Culture year. Museums are all free in the city. There is a wide`ranging
:01:50. > :01:58.offer, bringing people into the city. At the moment, the council
:01:59. > :02:05.spends ?2.5 million on heritage. They say they have to cut back
:02:06. > :02:10.?150,000. That means reductions to some of the cultural services. The
:02:11. > :02:16.unions say it is worrying for a place which will soon call itself
:02:17. > :02:20.the City of Culture. Once you start taking a few hours here, half a day
:02:21. > :02:30.here, it is the beginning of the end. We want the ?150,000 to be
:02:31. > :02:35.found. We believe it can be found. The Heritage Museum is now only
:02:36. > :02:39.opening once a fortnight for four hours. The consultancy they have had
:02:40. > :02:46.to make difficult decisions to keep all museums free. It does not look
:02:47. > :02:54.good, because we are the City of Culture inner couple of years time
:02:55. > :02:59.and we are having to cut hours. The factors, the government are
:03:00. > :03:04.insisting that the bag. So, how does the city compare with others? It
:03:05. > :03:13.invests 44p per person per week in arts and culture in fourth place
:03:14. > :03:21.with regard to that all over England. People in the city said
:03:22. > :03:25.cutting opening times was bad news for visitors. If they are open for
:03:26. > :03:32.longer, you will attract more people. I would rather pay in a
:03:33. > :03:40.better be a better experience than not pay and how to worry about the
:03:41. > :03:43.times. This should be keeping them open longer. Union members will
:03:44. > :03:50.receive ballot papers early next month. The council say they have
:03:51. > :03:57.done all they can to minimise cuts and strike action will make no
:03:58. > :04:03.difference. I spoke to the trade union representative earlier. I'd
:04:04. > :04:11.ask them if reducing the opening times for the history museum was a
:04:12. > :04:14.sensible move. No, it is not. People are prepared to take industrial
:04:15. > :04:20.action to save their jobs and keep the museums open. A high take action
:04:21. > :04:24.over such a small issue? It may be a small issue to some people, but not
:04:25. > :04:29.to others. Are you fighting over jobs because you feel the museum
:04:30. > :04:36.should stay open, despite the fact very few people use it? We want to
:04:37. > :04:42.keep museums open. We will be the city of culture in three years time.
:04:43. > :04:46.We have one of the higher spends on museums and the country. The council
:04:47. > :04:52.has to makes savings and surely it is clear that every area takes the
:04:53. > :04:58.Ayrshire? Yes, we understand that. But we believe they could find the
:04:59. > :05:03.?150,000 needed to keep it open. The museum is not that we'll used. We
:05:04. > :05:11.will of people coming to the city and people will want to see the
:05:12. > :05:16.culture of the city. If you had a choice between keeping a purely used
:05:17. > :05:20.museum open and cuts to front line services, for which you choose? That
:05:21. > :05:28.is for the council to decide, not for me. But that is the choice,
:05:29. > :05:32.isn't it? That is the surgeon. We have got to make a lot of cuts. They
:05:33. > :05:38.have got cuts from central government and we affect understand
:05:39. > :05:44.that. Our members have taken cuts in the terms and conditions. But surely
:05:45. > :05:48.they need you to back them? You are not doing that, you are making an
:05:49. > :05:53.awkward. We are not making an awkward. We are there to support our
:05:54. > :05:56.members in their hour of need. The museum members of the museum members
:05:57. > :06:04.of said it will the museum opened and we will back them doing that.
:06:05. > :06:11.Would you stop free museums and make people to pay into them? That is not
:06:12. > :06:15.our decision. Our reunions right. Should the city be protecting its
:06:16. > :06:20.cultural heritage onto these cuts need to be made to balance the
:06:21. > :06:23.budget? Should museums be protected at whatever cost. Here are the
:06:24. > :06:49.contact details: I look forward to hearing from you.
:06:50. > :06:54.In a moment, a former television dragon who has raised money for
:06:55. > :06:59.sport relief and today he shared some of his business secrets.
:07:00. > :07:07.Shoppers in Scunthorpe same morning needs to be done to save stores from
:07:08. > :07:14.closing down in the town centre. The comments come as the more shops are
:07:15. > :07:16.closing. North Lincolnshire Council said it has responded by providing
:07:17. > :07:29.free parking and bringing new investment to the town. It is busy
:07:30. > :07:35.on the high street, but some shops are shouting and struggling in
:07:36. > :07:41.Scunthorpe. Marks Spencer left the tone and others are no closing. A
:07:42. > :07:52.local farmers also set to join the list. 50% of the outlets are either
:07:53. > :07:59.empty or about to be empty. The head of the chamber of trade thinks
:08:00. > :08:05.things will get worse. There are virtually 50% empty here. We have
:08:06. > :08:10.not got it right. The intimate and people shopping out of town, it is
:08:11. > :08:13.the final nail in the Coffin. Walking around the town centre,
:08:14. > :08:18.there are many empty premises ready to be let, but it is not all bad
:08:19. > :08:25.news. There are still shop owners who will take the risk on the high
:08:26. > :08:31.Street. Ella opened her shop three weeks ago and said, so far, business
:08:32. > :08:38.has been good. A lot of businesses have been complaining, but we have
:08:39. > :08:46.is future plan in place to be flexor flexible, to address many of our
:08:47. > :08:49.trains are coming in. High Street shops are always about addressing
:08:50. > :08:53.the needs of the community. You need to have businesses in the catering
:08:54. > :08:58.for the community because of the convenience. The council say they
:08:59. > :09:03.are helping the town centre, with free parking at certain times in new
:09:04. > :09:10.investment in the area. Old town centres are having difficulty. But
:09:11. > :09:14.we are doing a lot in Scunthorpe. We want a vibrant town centre. We
:09:15. > :09:15.wanted to offer something different and unique.
:09:16. > :09:19.want a vibrant town centre. We wanted to offer And the landlords
:09:20. > :09:26.have to encourage more businesses to stay open. It seems only the
:09:27. > :09:30.strongest will survive, with more challenges to come when this new
:09:31. > :09:35.out`of`town development opens its doors. The council is remaining
:09:36. > :09:42.optimistic about the future? Is that she had both people and the tone? As
:09:43. > :09:48.you say, the council say they are trying to get people into Scunthorpe
:09:49. > :09:52.spending. But this is the next big challenge. This huge new development
:09:53. > :10:00.on the Scott and Scots of the town is attracting big names into the
:10:01. > :10:03.town, but probably are coming to Scunthorpe, they are staying on the
:10:04. > :10:06.outskirts. One shop owner said they are not worried because the high
:10:07. > :10:12.Street offer something different for people without cars, for example.
:10:13. > :10:17.But they know they will have to get the shoppers who come here into the
:10:18. > :10:23.town centre and spending on the high street if it is to survive. Another
:10:24. > :10:31.issue you might wish to comment on. Just a reminder of the contact
:10:32. > :10:35.details. Some more news now. Police are continuing to question a
:10:36. > :10:41.25`year`old man in connection with an incident in North Somercotes. And
:10:42. > :10:47.manners been treated for a head injury. Officers were called in the
:10:48. > :10:54.early hours of Sunday morning. The official reopening of the Roman arch
:10:55. > :10:59.to place this afternoon. The meal of Lincoln cut the regiment, with
:11:00. > :11:04.renovation starting last year, with more than half the stones needing
:11:05. > :11:08.replaced. They say it is an important landmark to the city. The
:11:09. > :11:18.whole Kingston Rovers centre has been forced to retire at the age of
:11:19. > :11:23.26. He was forced to retire after suffering an eye injury after an
:11:24. > :11:28.incident outside the nightclub. On the field, his club came back to
:11:29. > :11:40.earth with a bump when they lost to Castleford. Hull Have finally won
:11:41. > :11:43.away from home. Hull Kingston Rovers had been moving along quite nicely
:11:44. > :11:47.this season until Castleford get in the way. This season 's surprise
:11:48. > :11:59.team were at it again. Time after time, the men in blue had
:12:00. > :12:04.no and so to the running and finishing of the Yorkshire side. A
:12:05. > :12:12.couple of tries were mere consolation in the 54`12 defeat. How
:12:13. > :12:19.Kingston Rovers were not help by a red card for the centre. A qualified
:12:20. > :12:23.civil engineer, he has been out with the show to see one of the great
:12:24. > :12:36.Yorkshire projects, the Humber Bridge. It is an amazing project. It
:12:37. > :12:46.is something I look forward to being a part of when I finish. I wanted to
:12:47. > :12:52.go and have a look at it. Means well, neighbours Hull said they
:12:53. > :12:56.would put right the waveform Andy Murray as good as their word.
:12:57. > :12:59.Without a win away from home all season, they were expected to win
:13:00. > :13:09.and in this game against London, they did so with plenty to spear.
:13:10. > :13:15.They racked up 50 points. Youngster Calum Lancaster get two of the
:13:16. > :13:22.tries. There is more of the action for the look out events off the
:13:23. > :13:35.field at 11:30pm on BBC One tonight. Thank you for your company tonight.
:13:36. > :13:45.Still ahead: The unusual garden visitors whose call is dividing a
:13:46. > :13:51.community. They eat certain flowers and make that awful noise.
:13:52. > :14:01.Yes, a high`pitched whine still to come, and also the peacocks! .
:14:02. > :14:10.Here are some photographs taken. Thank you very much for these. Good
:14:11. > :14:22.evening, young man. How did the core school? It was really good. I got a
:14:23. > :14:31.message saying, we were in Torquay last week and met Paul. We were
:14:32. > :14:33.doing the Jurassic Coast fossil hunting, which made me think of you,
:14:34. > :14:51.finally enough! Tomorrow's forecast this stunning
:14:52. > :14:54.rather bad after a bright start. We can see the shower is beginning to
:14:55. > :15:00.move in this evening into western areas. We had high temperatures of
:15:01. > :15:14.20 degrees, but the showers while meandering north east. Quite a
:15:15. > :15:25.showery night to come. Here are the sunrise times. The next time what
:15:26. > :15:28.time is about quarter past ten. I suspect it will be quite a cloudy
:15:29. > :15:34.and damp start across all parts, with patchy rain appealing. This guy
:15:35. > :15:38.gradually brightening up, with some sunshine breaking through in the
:15:39. > :15:43.afternoon. It could trigger some sharp showers. Nevertheless, there
:15:44. > :15:51.should be some dire conditions around. Very pleasant in the
:15:52. > :16:01.sunshine. High temperatures around 18 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow
:16:02. > :16:07.evening, it is looking fine, with some sunshine and scattered showers
:16:08. > :16:11.moving out that way. On Wednesday, there is a bit of uncertainty about
:16:12. > :16:15.the positioning of varying, but potentially it could be very way,
:16:16. > :16:22.with persistent and heavy local rain. But Thursday looks dry and
:16:23. > :16:32.warm, afraid it much the same, with the odd bit of patchy rain later in
:16:33. > :16:38.the day. Fossil hunting in Devon! The joy of it.
:16:39. > :16:48.The great`grandson of the trawler captain from Grimsby left a German
:16:49. > :16:55.to to die at sea has left apologise for his grandfather 's actions. He
:16:56. > :17:01.did not want to rescue the crewmen because he was worried that the meat
:17:02. > :17:05.over power his own crew. The story is now being told in a documentary.
:17:06. > :17:10.Visiting the grave of his great`grandfather, there is no
:17:11. > :17:14.headstone, just flowers planted a hundred years after his death. It is
:17:15. > :17:23.believed he wanted to remain anonymous. He had a story to tell
:17:24. > :17:27.which divided opinion. I think he was the man in the wrong place at
:17:28. > :17:32.the wrong time and effort to tap into someone else, for with the have
:17:33. > :17:38.done? William Martin was the skipper of a Grimsby troller and on the 2nd
:17:39. > :17:42.of February 1916, he was involved in one the most notorious incidents of
:17:43. > :17:51.the First World War. The stroller came across the remains of a cached
:17:52. > :17:55.German airship. He could either CVE in our leave them to dive. He
:17:56. > :18:02.refused to rescue them and the old Rome. Now, the family want to know
:18:03. > :18:05.why he did what he did. His great`grandson a journey to find out
:18:06. > :18:13.more about the man who is called a war criminal by some. You can
:18:14. > :18:19.imagine the slimming up in front of you receive. You know it has brought
:18:20. > :18:25.a lot of destruction on towns across Britain. You are confronted by the
:18:26. > :18:31.people operating this killing machine. Do you let them aboard your
:18:32. > :18:36.vessel? This is where the Zeppelin was based, end it will jump. He has
:18:37. > :18:42.come to find out more about the men who lost their lives. The captain of
:18:43. > :18:51.the Zeppelin gave his word of honour, as an officer, that he would
:18:52. > :19:00.not do anything to have tricked the man. That should be enough, but of
:19:01. > :19:05.course we cannot prove that now. The historian made me realise that there
:19:06. > :19:11.are one or two things that are quite upsetting. Whatever his
:19:12. > :19:16.great`grandson 's father 's reasons, that still feels an apology should
:19:17. > :19:23.be made. If I could make amends, I would. All I can do is offer my
:19:24. > :19:30.sincere apologies to the family. William died a year later, said to
:19:31. > :19:34.be a broken man. He made an agonising decision at the time of
:19:35. > :19:38.war. His family hope he can now finally be at peace. There is more
:19:39. > :19:55.in the story later on at 7:30 p.m.. And you rode on a housing
:19:56. > :20:00.development in Lincolnshire has been named after a former worker at the
:20:01. > :20:08.site. It commemorates Steve, who passed away in 2009 after battling
:20:09. > :20:13.skin cancer. His family visited the site for the ceremony. It is a
:20:14. > :20:21.massive fauna run a real privilege. We are extremely grateful for the
:20:22. > :20:25.brilliant gesture they have shown to our family. Steve was a former
:20:26. > :20:30.employee and worked here for four years. He was a conscientious
:20:31. > :20:34.hard`working member of the team and what we have decided to do, very
:20:35. > :20:41.uniquely, is mainly a road after him, to keep the his memory going.
:20:42. > :20:46.One of Britain's most successful businessmen has been on a sharing
:20:47. > :20:54.his knowledge with local companies. He started the 10th annual conger
:20:55. > :21:03.week. Theo Is best known for his judging on dried Spain.
:21:04. > :21:17.Good to meet you. What is your name? Good to meet you. How old are you,
:21:18. > :21:26.Amelia? Eight. I am a lot older than you. You saw poverty first`hand
:21:27. > :21:31.earlier this year and that must have been quite an eye opener. Do you
:21:32. > :21:37.agree with experts who say we are out of recession? We have been out
:21:38. > :21:44.of recession for years, but the figures take a foil to catch up.
:21:45. > :21:48.Businesses have grown and we have Sean profits coming through. The
:21:49. > :21:51.great thing about this particular recession is that we managed to keep
:21:52. > :21:57.unemployment down and interest rates down. What we have not been able to
:21:58. > :22:23.do is reduce the and that still hangs over is.
:22:24. > :22:30.own shops, you could not need to hire people to open them. That would
:22:31. > :22:36.be a good idea. But I time off to concentrate on my businesses. But I
:22:37. > :22:42.am doing a monthly slot on television. How about going on
:22:43. > :24:18.strictly come dancing? I do not think
:24:19. > :24:23.sleep, because they are very noisy. They eat certain flowers and make
:24:24. > :24:32.that awful noise. Who could complain about these beautiful creatures is
:24:33. > :24:38.ridiculous. I want long gone, but I do not want any more than we have
:24:39. > :24:45.got. They are dividing the community. A human show registers at
:24:46. > :24:52.70 decibels, all these sounds and clock sounds 115 decibels, rate at
:24:53. > :25:00.the threshold of what anyone can put up with. So what is the solution?
:25:01. > :25:03.The birds are not protected, so could be culled, but that is not an
:25:04. > :25:09.option the parish council want to take. Especially since the peacocks
:25:10. > :25:15.have the supporters. Yes, they make a noise and the mess, but they are
:25:16. > :25:20.beautiful. If someone can come up with a sensible solution, the parish
:25:21. > :25:28.council would be very interested in hearing from them. One stately home
:25:29. > :25:35.that is nearest is up to its size in peacocks. Most daily homes also have
:25:36. > :25:39.gardens only one kept in good condition and the peacocks
:25:40. > :25:44.unfortunately do have a tendency to trash the gardens. Unfortunately,
:25:45. > :25:52.the birds can also live until they are about 40, so it would be a
:25:53. > :25:58.long`term problem. It is now five minutes to seven. Here are the main
:25:59. > :26:06.headlines. Reports of alleged abuse by Jimmy Savile no total 500. Whole
:26:07. > :26:12.city council clashes with the museums over plans to cut opening
:26:13. > :26:21.hours. Tomorrow, brightening up with sunny spells, with high temperatures
:26:22. > :26:28.in the afternoon of 18 Celsius. No, a big response with regard to the
:26:29. > :26:31.museums. Andrew says, if the council looked after the finances better,
:26:32. > :26:41.they would not have to make these cuts. The museums are great. Another
:26:42. > :26:46.says, either charge for entry and the museums over to private
:26:47. > :26:51.enterprise. Another says, if people come to the city, we want them to
:26:52. > :26:59.spend money. In Holland, Amsterdam has a ticket which you buy for
:27:00. > :27:04.museums. It gives you an incentive to buy and also to see all of the
:27:05. > :27:08.museums. Thank you very much for these and thank you for watching. I
:27:09. > :27:11.will be back tonight just after the ten o'clock national news. Goodbye
:27:12. > :27:12.for now.
