East Yorkshire has reached We are concerned about the | :00:00. | :00:25. | |

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 | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
facing a sentence of seven xears in prison. The punishment for ` | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
ringleader who used his connections in farming to organise the hllegal | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
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 | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
given it mattered towards ?4 million defrauded. Diesel is used in | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
agricultural machinery and hs cheaper than ordinary diesel found | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
in forecourts. It is estimated that the cost around six in ?1 mhllion a | :09:17. | :09:29. | |
year in lost taxes. `` ?600 million. Two other people were sentenced as | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
well. They were doing four xears each. His stepson and anothdr | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
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 | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
behind a carousel of fraudulent companies, evading an estim`ted ?5 | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
million in duty and tax. Denied they leave York Crown Court to sdrve a | :10:25. | :10:25. | |
total of 19 years in prison. The engineering firm Siemens is | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
starting to recruit for its new multi`million pound | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
development in Hull. The company announced | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
in March it would be building a wind turbine manufacturing plant at two | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
separate sites in East Yorkshire. Two posts have been advertised | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
for the team to start developing It's expected one thousand | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
jobs will be created. Earlier today a yachtsman from | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
East Yorkshire ` who it was feared had gone missing in the North Sea ` | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
was found safe and well 69`year old Charles Pickering, | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
from Wetwang, set out from Germany last wdek in | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
his 17`foot yacht Equinox and was These pictures show | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
his rescue earlier today. His wife alerted | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
the coastguards after she h`dn't An appeal even went out on the | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
BBC Radio Four's Shipping Forecast. Eventually Mr Pickering set | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
off a distress beacon on his yacht this morning | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
and was picked up shortly afterwards I'm pleased to say Charles | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
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 | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
worried. It is a good boat `nd the thing is a boat always takes care of | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
you. It never lets the crew down, it is the crew who let the bow down. I | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
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 | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
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 | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
take time to think. If I had thought, I would have got that ended | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
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 | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
great job. Leaving Lincolnshire ` | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
is this the final flight And the East Yorkshire bus drivers | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
becoming stars of the small screen. Tim Paulus took this | :14:17. | :14:29. | |
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. | |
