He's been on assignment with the London Mayor, Boris Johnson. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
A Hull MP says new rules ailed at reducing pollution in the shipping | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
industry could cost jobs and lead to drivers paying more at the pumps. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Ferry companies have been told to use more expensive fuel which has | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
less sulphur in it, but thex're worried about the extra cost. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Hull East MP Karl Turner agrees and wants the government to act | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Our political editor Tim Irddale reports. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Like all forms of transport, the shipping industry is under | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
pressure to become cleaner, greener and more efficient. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
But according to one Hull MP, ferry operators, such as P, will soon be | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
hit by expensive regulations which will force them to change the fuel | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
They're going to have to pass it on somehow. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
They're not going to be able to swallow that cost. | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
They're either going to havd to make a decision and cancel | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
International rules mean th`t the sulphur content of fuel | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
The shipping industry claims that switching to lighter, marind diesel | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
And they are warning of up to 2000 job losses across the TK. | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
I would like the government to show a little | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
bit of leadership here now, and to lobby the EU to allow a transition | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
period, a route to compliance, as was envisaged by the | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
The industry even claims motorists could pay up to 3p a litre lore | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
for diesel because of the extra pressure put on refineries. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Something that shocked drivdrs in Hull today. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Drivers won't pay 3p a litre more for any reason, | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Yes, I am worried about that, and it will make a big dent | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
in our family income because we travel across thd | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
The government has hit back at claims that it's not doing enough | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Ministers say they are workhng with Europe to look at ways | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
of providing finance for shipping firms and ports. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
It's not an announcement th`t happened today, yesterday, | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
This is something the industry has had over shx years | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Extra fuel costs was one of the reasons given | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
for the scrapping of the Harwich to Denmark ferry service. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Many hope Hull's ferry routds don't suffer a similar fate. | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
Is there any chance of the government making | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Not for the first time, thex will argue their hands are tied by | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
regulations. The shipping industry wants to equip new technology on | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
their older vessels. Many whll argue that what will happen if thd east | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
coast ferry routes are cut back or even closed, worst case scenario, | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
traffic will get on the roads, driving south to the Channel ports, | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
creating congestion. And pollution, which is what they are trying to | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
stop. Thank you. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
This evening I spoke to Jamds Cole from the environmental pressure | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
I asked him why making ferrhes use more expensive fuel was a good | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
idea if it led to lorries h`ving to travel further to get to ports. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
I think what we are hearing and what you are saying is that the | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
government needs to look at reducing the impact of all modes of | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
transport, and we need to look at how we transition to a lower impact | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
economy in the best possibld way. What's more important dash of ferry | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
sailing or ferry sailing behng lost, and jobs, or reducing sulphur | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
emissions? That is not a fahr question. That is the questhon on | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
the table at the moment, isn't it? We have to look at the big picture. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
In the big picture, we don't have a choice of moving to know a `` of | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
moving to a low impact economy. We have one planet of limited | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
resources. If we are to thrhve and have an economy that thrives with | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
businesses that thrive, it's not whether we can afford to make a | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
change, it is if we can afford not to. We will follow that story. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
East Yorkshire has one of the highest number of convictions | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
74 people were convicted in the county last year, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the fifth highest in the UK and higher than Greater Manchester. | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
There are now calls for tougher punishments to deter abusers. | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
Concerns about allegations of bullying and harassment | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
at the Hull and East Yorkshhre Hospitals Trust have been dhscussed | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Shortly after the former Chief Executive Phil Morley resigned | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
in April, a health watchdog published a highly critical report. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
There are also worries about staff morale and recrtitment. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
The head of the trust meets councillors tomorrow. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
The debts facing Lincolnshire's hospitals are among the highest | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
Figures from the Labour Party suggest the United Lincolnshire | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Hospitals Trust has a deficht of nearly ?26 million. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
A five year plan's being developed to help the Trust meet | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
The Environment Secretary h`s defended the government's rdcord | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
on flood protection following criticism by a committee of MPs | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Owen Paterson spoke to farmdrs at the Lincolnshire Show who had | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
expressed concern about sea defences. | :05:32. | :05:32. | |
He also rejected claims by ` select committee that his department wasn't | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
doing enough to protect comlunities at risk of flooding. | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
The report attacked us for `sking to do things which we are alre`dy | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
doing. We are spending a record sum of money. There is no one w`rrant as | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
elastic behind these flood defences. There is no one that sees | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
the economic value of protecting high quality agricultural l`nd. That | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
was Owen Paterson. Typhoons from RAF Conningsbx's | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
3 Fighter Squadron have been used to intercept | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
Russian aircraft as part of a NATO Four aircraft and 100 personnel | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
left Lincolnshire in April. Yesterday, the British jets | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
intercepted and escorted fotr It's been a fine day | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
and through this evening We are finally going to see that | :06:20. | :06:34. | |
cloud developing, a very we`k front bringing one or two spots | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
of light rain or drizzle later, temperatures overnight fallhng back | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
to around 13 or 14 degrees. So, a cloudy, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
perhaps damp start to the d`y, once again we will see | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
an improvement. It will become largely dry | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
and brighten up as well. By tomorrow afternoon, therd should | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
be some sunny spells around. It won't feel quite as warm | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
as it did today. Temperatures that little bit | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
fresher along the coast. Not a lot more sunshine, but largely | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
dry conditions with just thd odd Thank you. If you're going to the | :07:03. | :07:22. | |
show tomorrow, enjoy. Thank you for watching, we're back tomorrow at | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
6:25am. I will see you tomorrow night as usual. Thank you for | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
watching. Good night. Celsius. The outlook for the weekend | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
is looking pretty good. If you have outdoor plans, plenty of | :07:35. | :07:48. | |
