And that is all from us. There is more throughout the evening on the

:00:00.3:59:59

BBC News channel. Now Good evening and welcome to

:00:00.:00:00.

BBC Look North. Anti`wind farm campaigners say

:00:00.:00:00.

East Yorkshire has reached We are concerned about the

:00:00.:00:25.

encroachment of these monstdrs on the horizon.

:00:26.:00:29.

A yachtsman feared missing in the North Sea has been found

:00:30.:00:32.

Final flight ` is this the last time the Vulcan will be seen

:00:33.:00:37.

On the buses ` How drivers from East Yorkshire

:00:38.:00:45.

It has been a warm and humid day. How is it looking tomorrow?

:00:46.:01:05.

An East Yorkshire MP has told Look North that he would put a stop to

:01:06.:01:09.

any more wind turbines being built on shore, despite his Government

:01:10.:01:13.

David Davis, who represents Haltemprice `nd

:01:14.:01:18.

Howden, will speak with anth`wind farm protestors who are org`nising

:01:19.:01:23.

They're calling on the Government to halt the `pproval

:01:24.:01:29.

of further wind farm development, and say that the county has reached

:01:30.:01:32.

We'll be hearing from David Davis in a moment, but first this report

:01:33.:01:37.

from our Environment Correspondent Paul Murphy.

:01:38.:01:41.

In Ellerker village hall, preparations for tomorrow's protest.

:01:42.:01:44.

This is one of many communities earmarked for wind turbine

:01:45.:01:47.

development, an industry with an increasingly controversi`l

:01:48.:01:52.

It's got the highest densitx and our communities are being decim`ted

:01:53.:02:00.

There are already 62 turbinds over 50 metres high in the countx.

:02:01.:02:05.

In addition to the large machines, more than 80 smaller turbinds,

:02:06.:02:14.

less than 50 metres in height, have already been given planning

:02:15.:02:18.

What started here on the proposition to put thred

:02:19.:02:26.

turbines just behind the village has actually expanded now,

:02:27.:02:30.

due to the fact these things are proliferating all over the county,

:02:31.:02:34.

and we have a lot of parishds that have joined in with us.

:02:35.:02:38.

More than 90 turbine applic`tions have been rejected by local

:02:39.:02:41.

councillors, only to be uphdld by national government planners

:02:42.:02:45.

I've lost count of the numbdr of times our decisions, reftsals,

:02:46.:02:49.

have been turned around and have been allowed.

:02:50.:02:53.

That has been deeply frustr`ting for the council and quite costly for

:02:54.:02:56.

the east riding council taxpayer because they are paying to take

:02:57.:03:00.

You only need to walk up into east Yorkshire a bit to get a sense of

:03:01.:03:07.

They are dotted across the landscape.

:03:08.:03:13.

It is fair to say that in the communities where thdy are

:03:14.:03:16.

sited, wind turbines continte to divide opinion.

:03:17.:03:21.

That's because developers offer money as

:03:22.:03:25.

It can run into many millions of pounds and here at Sancton it

:03:26.:03:29.

has included a new village hall and children's play area.

:03:30.:03:33.

If wind farm are going to affect the public greatly,

:03:34.:03:36.

But certainly if not, as we can see, as it has been proved,

:03:37.:03:46.

there can be a lot of benefhts for the community, the vast majority

:03:47.:03:51.

The government says the UK needs onshore wind f`rms

:03:52.:03:56.

in order to reduce carbon elissions and the threat of global warming.

:03:57.:04:00.

But these protesters believd that mission has gone too far in

:04:01.:04:04.

Earlier I spoke to the MP for Haltemprice and Howden David Davis,

:04:05.:04:12.

who'll be talking to protestors tomorrow, and asked if he agrees

:04:13.:04:16.

We've had huge numbers of approvals on wind farms hn

:04:17.:04:24.

East Yorkshire, most of thel over the heads of the council.

:04:25.:04:27.

Most of them were given an appeal and it is pretty clear,

:04:28.:04:30.

so far, until last year, thd appeal authority were given enough credit,

:04:31.:04:33.

As a general question, do you think turbines are a good and relhable

:04:34.:04:45.

Once I was told by somebody who advises the ministry,

:04:46.:04:56.

he said what they needed most on the coldest days of the xear you

:04:57.:05:00.

So, they don't work when we need them.

:05:01.:05:07.

What do you say to the people watching who say these things are

:05:08.:05:10.

You just don't want them in the posh countryside of east Yorkshire.

:05:11.:05:17.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

:05:18.:05:22.

One of my constituents is on antidepressants because

:05:23.:05:30.

Not all the time the wind comes in from that direction.

:05:31.:05:35.

People come there for the qtiet understated...

:05:36.:05:49.

Frankly I wouldn't build anx more at the moment.

:05:50.:05:54.

We have got more than enough to meet the requirements

:05:55.:05:56.

90, I think, is the figure that has gone to government,

:05:57.:06:02.

If you look at the statistics for this year, the first quarter of the

:06:03.:06:10.

year, from about one in six being turned down, it is now a half.

:06:11.:06:13.

Now the government have clocked onto the fact we need to put

:06:14.:06:18.

Because you are a troublemaker, aren't you?

:06:19.:06:25.

I'd been described that way sometimes.

:06:26.:06:28.

I'll be there to speak to them, encourage them.

:06:29.:06:32.

We've got around loads of wind farms,

:06:33.:06:40.

Let us know what you think about this story.

:06:41.:06:52.

Will the campaigners have any success by protesting?

:06:53.:06:55.

Do the Government need to change their policy on allowing wind

:06:56.:06:57.

You can see more on that story on Sunday Politics this Sunday

:06:58.:07:28.

The moment a yachtsmen knew he was safd after

:07:29.:07:37.

Five people who are part of a gang selling illegal red diesel have been

:07:38.:07:57.

sentenced to a total of 19 xears in prison. The conspiracy organised by

:07:58.:08:02.

a pensioner evaded an estim`ted ?5 million in duty and tax.

:08:03.:08:10.

This pensioner of 72 in bad health, carer for those elderly wifd, now

selling of red diesel and sdtting up companies to hide VAT fraud. During

:08:29.:08:34.

sentencing, he kept his eyes at his feet while his honour Judge Jackson

:08:35.:08:38.

described the conspiracy as sophisticated and that he h`d been

:08:39.:08:44.

at the very centre of it. Hd criticised his attempts to pass

:08:45.:08:48.

blame during the trial, describing him as the controller and prime

:08:49.:08:55.

mover. It was a sophisticatdd and persistent crime that went on over a

:08:56.:08:59.

number of years. I think it justified the sentences givdn on a

given it mattered towards ?4 million defrauded. Diesel is used in

serving lesser sentences for their involvement. The red diesel was at

:09:40.:09:45.

times cleverly hidden using adapted fuel tanks which appeared to contain

:09:46.:09:51.

regular diesel but when checked contained both. As we startdd to

:09:52.:09:56.

look at the different tanks we were initially thinking it was going to

:09:57.:10:01.

be a small`scale operation, very locally and had no concept of what

:10:02.:10:07.

was going to come. The investigation lasted into three years and we were

:10:08.:10:11.

amazed at the scale that was revealed. This six years th`t hid

development in Hull. The company announced

:10:33.:10:34.

in March it would be building a wind turbine manufacturing plant at two

separate sites in East Yorkshire. Two posts have been advertised

jobs will be created. Earlier today a yachtsman from

and was picked up shortly afterwards I'm pleased to say Charles

joins me now from his home. How much trouble were you in? The

:11:25.:11:35.

electrics on the boat had gone dead so I couldn't do anything about it.

:11:36.:11:42.

It took me four hours to an`lyse. Were you not worried? No. I wasn't

worried. It is a good boat `nd the thing is a boat always takes care of

gather you didn't get any sleep No, not for six days. That is

:12:02.:12:10.

extraordinary. This morning, this begin. What did you do? I attempted

:12:11.:12:18.

to start the boat, because ly master had broken which I couldn't

:12:19.:12:22.

replace. I had nothing for ht. Quite simply, ie attempted to started so I

:12:23.:12:30.

thought, this is silly. In embarrassment I activated its and

went to work on the housebo`t which is hard. What did you think this

:12:38.:12:46.

morning when and helicopter approached you? Total surprhse

:12:47.:12:57.

because I didn't know who it was. Were you embarrassed or surprise?

:12:58.:13:04.

Totally embarrassed. I never expected to happen to rely on the

:13:05.:13:12.

emergency services. How do xou feel tonight? When you got home, did your

:13:13.:13:19.

wife give you a ticking off? A bending would not be the right word.

:13:20.:13:28.

I will sleep in the spare room. Your message to fellow yachtsmen. Always

take time to think. If I had thought, I would have got that ended

working. Unbeknown to me, they were looking for me already. A vdry

:13:42.:13:49.

honest answer. It is good to see you back, Charles. You need to get some

:13:50.:13:57.

speed, but you look quite wdll. I haven't shaved either. You look in

:13:58.:14:03.

good shape. Good night, Charles We salute the rescue services who did a

great job. Leaving Lincolnshire `

of a Steam loco at the Lincolnshire Let's get the forecasts. Many things

:14:30.:14:51.

on this weekend. It has been quite humid today, much is the sale

:14:52.:14:56.

tomorrow. Tomorrow morning we start off on a cloudy note, but it will

:14:57.:15:01.

brighten up as we had Thursday, because of this week 's front. In

:15:02.:15:10.

between the two fronts, tomorrow we should see some good spells of

:15:11.:15:15.

sunshine. Today has been fine. It has been mostly dry. There has been

:15:16.:15:20.

some spells of warm sunshind but it has been humid. There has bden some

:15:21.:15:24.

cloud roll in from the codes. It will continue to do so this evening

:15:25.:15:31.

and overnight. A muggy feelhng too tonight. Temperatures no lower than

:15:32.:15:37.

14 degrees. Tomorrow morning the sun will rise at 4:46am, setting at

:15:38.:15:48.

9:30am. So, a bit of early start, feeling uncomfortable tonight.

:15:49.:15:53.

Tomorrow morning we start to get a break from the west, so we will see

:15:54.:15:59.

clouds breaking with warm spells of sunshine. As it comes, it could

:16:00.:16:03.

trigger some showers. They will be few and far between but there is

:16:04.:16:10.

that risk. Temperatures tomorrow we'll get to 24 degrees. Just ever

:16:11.:16:16.

so slightly cooler along thd coasts. You can see the front furthdr out to

:16:17.:16:21.

the west. That will show its hand as we head through tomorrow evdning.

:16:22.:16:26.

Cloud will increase from thd west as we head through tomorrow. Wd have

:16:27.:16:31.

the rain tomorrow and into Sunday. It will brighten up and it will be

:16:32.:16:38.

highs of 21. Have a good wedkend if you have something planned. If you

:16:39.:16:43.

have any pictures you are proud of, send them in.

:16:44.:16:48.

It's three inches long but the time it saves is eqtivalent

:16:49.:16:51.

to 24 nursing shifts each d`y across three local hospitals.

:16:52.:16:53.

A new digital key being used to get at the drugs at Goole, Grimsby

:16:54.:16:56.

and Scunthorpe hospitals is saving hours of nurses' time every day

:16:57.:16:59.

They are the first in country to trial the system which

:17:00.:17:05.

Our Health Correspondent Vicky Johnson has more.

:17:06.:17:08.

In most hospitals when nurses need to get into

:17:09.:17:11.

the drug cupboards they havd to find the person in charge of the keys.

:17:12.:17:14.

This means hours of nurses' time is wasted every day.

:17:15.:17:18.

But in Scunthorpe it's a different story.

:17:19.:17:21.

These electronic keys have revolutionised the way staff gain

:17:22.:17:25.

Every nurse who's going to need one during their shift is alloc`ted one,

:17:26.:17:47.

across the wards that will give us the equivalent of having 24 extra

:17:48.:17:50.

Nurses can be going to the drugs cupboards up to 50 times

:17:51.:17:54.

a shift, so easy access is benefiting them and their p`tients.

:17:55.:18:00.

You get quality time with your patience rather than jtst

:18:01.:18:04.

Now we have our own it is life changing.

:18:05.:18:10.

The new system has improved drug security too because each kdy

:18:11.:18:14.

generates its own computerised audit trail, detailing who ht is

:18:15.:18:18.

assigned to, which cupboards have been opened and how long.

:18:19.:19:45.

Hundreds of people have been at RAF Waddington today, for what could be

:19:46.:19:48.

the last time that a Vulcan bomber ever takes off from the station

:19:49.:19:53.

Waddington's runway will be out of service for the next year, while the

:19:54.:19:57.

Vulcan's engines are due to reach the end of their lives in 2015.

:19:58.:20:02.

Our reporter Jake Zuckerman was there.

:20:03.:20:05.

For RAF Waddington and the Vulcan bomber it was a historic morning.

:20:06.:20:10.

At the viewing area crowds began to gather, many had travelled

:20:11.:20:13.

For some their connection to the Vulcan goes back more than half

:20:14.:20:18.

I used to see it flying abott all of the time, and I suppose ht is

:20:19.:20:27.

We have come down from Pontdfract so it was an early morning.

:20:28.:20:35.

I will be amazed if I don't feel a bit emotional

:20:36.:20:38.

It is the last time it ever goes out of here.

:20:39.:20:42.

Vulcan was delivered to RAF Waddington in 1960

:20:43.:20:45.

and spent much of its operational life in Lincolnshire.

:20:46.:20:48.

It was finally grounded in 0993 becoming the last Vulcan to leave

:20:49.:21:05.

RAF service, but in 2007 the aircraft took to the sky

:21:06.:21:08.

once more after a huge fundraising effort paid for its restoration

:21:09.:21:10.

Since then it has been a highlight on the airshow circuit.

:21:11.:21:13.

But this could well be the last time it takes off from Waddhngton.

:21:14.:21:16.

Next year it will still be flying but Waddington will be shut, so you

:21:17.:21:20.

may see her in the overhead but it certainly won't be landing here

:21:21.:21:23.

Unfortunately at the end of 201 , although we have airframe lhfe left,

:21:24.:21:26.

The engine has cycled out by the end of them.

:21:27.:21:32.

These days nobody services or rejuvenate old vintage jet dngines.

:21:33.:21:38.

As the crowd looked on, 558 taxied to the take`off,

:21:39.:21:41.

The Vulcan returns for one final fly`past.

:21:42.:22:02.

A salute to the crowd and to the station that for

:22:03.:22:05.

Beverley's Kyle Edmund is through to semi final of the

:22:06.:22:21.

Kyle, nearest the camera, beat Luxembourg's Neils Deshgn,

:22:22.:22:28.

who is ranked nearly a hundred places above him, 6`4 6`4

:22:29.:22:31.

In the semi final Kyle will medt second

:22:32.:22:37.

The second seed beat Lincoln's Dan Cox in straight sets in another

:22:38.:22:42.

Hull Kingston Rovers travel to Headingley to take on Leeds Rhinos

:22:43.:22:51.

Rovers beat leaders St Helens by 40 points to 10 last Sunday.

:22:52.:22:55.

It's Chris Chester's second game in charge as the Robins' boss.

:22:56.:22:58.

We just hope we can take thhs confidence and belief into Friday's

:22:59.:23:10.

BBC Radio Humberside will h`ve commentary of the match tonhght and

:23:11.:23:19.

If you use the buses in Hull, there's

:23:20.:23:27.

a good chance you might see your driver on the television tonight.

:23:28.:23:30.

The staff of East Yorkshire Motor Services will star in a doctmentary

:23:31.:23:35.

following life on the buses around Hull and further afidld.

:23:36.:23:40.

They've been speaking about how the show has been affecting them

:23:41.:23:43.

There are certain things th`t let you know where you are

:23:44.:23:50.

in the world and the colours of the east Yorkshire motor services

:23:51.:23:53.

bus company let you know imlediately you are in Hull and the east Riding

:23:54.:23:57.

But tonight we see their true colours in

:23:58.:24:00.

Of course most of the action and of course the drama comes

:24:01.:24:13.

It is here where we see Rod in action, getting lost.

:24:14.:24:23.

I have a catchphrase now whhch is on the TV programme.

:24:24.:24:28.

I get it from work colleaguds, not just the drivers,

:24:29.:24:36.

but everybody in the garage and from the passengers as well.

:24:37.:24:42.

And George is finding the word is spreading quickly too.

:24:43.:24:51.

The girl in the hairdressers asked me when the programme is gohng on.

:24:52.:24:56.

It is surprising how many people know about it.

:24:57.:25:00.

We were hoping it would be kept under wraps.

:25:01.:25:03.

I can't even go in the kebab shop because they're

:25:04.:25:07.

You get to see everything, the good, the bad and ugly.

:25:08.:25:13.

She thinks I need to lose a bit of weight now.

:25:14.:25:17.

They say it adds pounds on, the camera, it has added kilos to me.

:25:18.:25:21.

Opening such a well`established family business to a TV doctmentary

:25:22.:25:23.

company and a national audidnce is a risk, but owner Peter Ship thinks

:25:24.:25:28.

We run a pretty good ship hdre, if you would pardon the pun.

:25:29.:25:36.

The staff are great, generally speaking.

:25:37.:25:40.

It will show people what sole of the problems are

:25:41.:25:42.

in running a bus company and I don't think we have anything to lose.

:25:43.:25:52.

It is the character of the people that work herd that

:25:53.:25:54.

meant the entire series has been dedicated to the one companx.

:25:55.:25:58.

The question is will they enjoy watching it.

:25:59.:26:15.

Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlhnes

:26:16.:26:20.

Tens of thousands more people could be allowed weight loss surgdry

:26:21.:26:22.

on the NHS to tackle an epidemic of diabetes.

:26:23.:26:25.

Anti wind farm campaigners claim the East Yorkshire countryshde is on

:26:26.:26:27.

A muggy start to the day with a lot of cloud around, however cloud

:26:28.:26:34.

will eventually break with some warm sunny spells developing.

:26:35.:26:36.

Risk of the odd isolated, thunderstorm towards the end of

We had that report on the whnd turbines earlier on. Pete s`ys wind
