:00:00. > :00:07.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.
:00:08. > :00:10.The headlines tonight: An East Yorkshire MP blames
:00:11. > :00:19.cycle lanes for causing pollution and congestion.
:00:20. > :00:25.On your bike is the polite message from cycle campaigners to Sir Greg
:00:26. > :00:28.Knight tonight. The engineering companies trying
:00:29. > :00:34.to employ more women. Our factory job is not a man's job.
:00:35. > :00:40.Nowhere near. Caught on camera -
:00:41. > :00:42.the archive film showing how Hull New found fame - the schoolboy
:00:43. > :00:46.who carried his injured friend over the finish line
:00:47. > :01:04.of a cross country race. We are living the dream. We could
:01:05. > :01:10.make a movie! Sunshine today. Will it last? Join me for the forecast.
:01:11. > :01:12.Too many cycle lanes are causing an increase in traffic
:01:13. > :01:14.congestion and pollution in our towns and cities.
:01:15. > :01:17.That is the view of the East Yorkshire MP Sir Greg Knight
:01:18. > :01:21.who says too much of the highway is being turned over to cycle lanes
:01:22. > :01:22.causing traffic to slow down which increases emissions
:01:23. > :01:25.Cycling groups say his comments are simply wrong.
:01:26. > :01:28.Caroline Bilton is live in Cottingham near Hull tonight.
:01:29. > :01:49.How have Sir Greg Knight's comments been received by cyclists today?
:01:50. > :01:58.Well, let's face it. The road travel between cyclists and motorists has
:01:59. > :02:01.been fraught for some time. I'm afraid these comments today have
:02:02. > :02:07.done nothing to smooth over those cracks. There are over 500 miles of
:02:08. > :02:12.cycle lanes in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. This is one of them.
:02:13. > :02:21.Abroad adapted to make it easier for cyclists to get from A to B. You can
:02:22. > :02:25.look at this in one of two weighs. To encourage people to leave their
:02:26. > :02:27.cars at home and get on their bikes, or, as Sir Greg Knight sees it, a
:02:28. > :02:38.cause for congestion. The start of the Tour De Yorkshire
:02:39. > :02:42.two years ago in Bridlington, an event that has helped boost
:02:43. > :02:44.the popularity of cycling with thousands more now taking
:02:45. > :02:47.to the saddle as a result and it's led to councils investing
:02:48. > :02:49.heavily in improving The East Riding for example
:02:50. > :02:53.spending more than ?8 But one East Riding MP,
:02:54. > :02:55.who's constituency town of Bridlington will once again be
:02:56. > :02:58.hosting the Tour de Yorkshire this year, is calling for cycle lanes
:02:59. > :03:02.to be scrapped to make way for cars. Is there not a case for making local
:03:03. > :03:05.authorities in future take into account the congestion effects
:03:06. > :03:07.of their crusade to improve road space in favour of wider
:03:08. > :03:10.pavements and cycle lanes. Followers of Greg Knight
:03:11. > :03:13.on Twitter will see he's He chairs the Parliamentary
:03:14. > :03:15.Historic Vehicles Group. One might say he's
:03:16. > :03:18.a bit of petrol head. He believes cycle lanes
:03:19. > :03:19.cause congestion, adding If we had more cycle lanes,
:03:20. > :03:26.there'll be more cyclists out there There would not be the congestion
:03:27. > :03:31.and the pollution. It comes just weeks after Hull
:03:32. > :03:34.was found to be breaching pollution limits, a problem that is linked
:03:35. > :03:38.to around 40,000 deaths But for cyclists in the city
:03:39. > :03:43.today removing cycle I think his comments
:03:44. > :03:48.are a load of rubbish. I don't think they
:03:49. > :03:51.should be scrapped. There is a bigger picture and it
:03:52. > :03:55.needs to be addressed in general why there is a lot of traffic
:03:56. > :03:57.in the city centre. Make it freer for the bigger
:03:58. > :04:07.vehicles to move about. Cycling campaigners claim cars
:04:08. > :04:12.create ten times the amount of carbon dioxide as bikes for every
:04:13. > :04:18.kilometres travelled. In Denmark, the average person cycles 600 miles
:04:19. > :04:23.per year, compared to 46 miles in the UK. It's claimed pollution in
:04:24. > :04:31.Europe could be reduced by a quarter if everyone cycled as much as they
:04:32. > :04:32.did in Denmark. We are a long way off of reaching the cycle utopia of
:04:33. > :04:39.Denmark, but. the Government says it intends
:04:40. > :04:44.to invest 300 million in improving Mr Knight may find his suggestion
:04:45. > :04:54.struggles to get the green light. The consensus from those I've spoken
:04:55. > :04:58.to today is we should be investing more money into cycle highways,
:04:59. > :05:02.certainly not giving motorists encouragement to stay in their
:05:03. > :05:04.cards. Thank you.
:05:05. > :05:07.We would like to hear from you on this story,
:05:08. > :05:10.Would we be better off with out cycle lanes?
:05:11. > :05:45.Maybe you are a cyclist and want to be in touch?
:05:46. > :05:47.A man has been airlifted to hospital with serious
:05:48. > :05:49.injuries following a crash on the A1 near Newark.
:05:50. > :05:51.Nottinghamshire Police say six vehicles were
:05:52. > :05:53.involved in the collision which happened earlier.
:05:54. > :05:55.The A1 southbound carriageway has re-opened, but the northbound
:05:56. > :06:09.side will remain closed until 8pm tonight.
:06:10. > :06:12.The Conservative MP for Cleethorpes says he won't rule out a vote
:06:13. > :06:14.against the government over changes to National insurance
:06:15. > :06:17.Plans to raise contributions for self employed workers were announced
:06:18. > :06:20.Martin Vickers says he won't be disappointed if the budget
:06:21. > :06:26.I'm not going to commit myself as yet because I've not had a chance to
:06:27. > :06:31.discuss it with the minister, but I am concerned about the hit on the
:06:32. > :06:34.self-employed. The Conservative Party have always prided themselves
:06:35. > :06:36.in being the party of business and of the small business man in
:06:37. > :06:39.particular. And you can hear that full
:06:40. > :06:41.interview with Martin Vickers on our late programme tonight
:06:42. > :06:59.on BBC one at 10:30pm. ?30 million of Government money
:07:00. > :07:02.is to be invested in improving roads and supporting
:07:03. > :07:03.businesses in Lincolnshire. The money will be used to build
:07:04. > :07:06.a new centre for health science and also engineering research
:07:07. > :07:08.at the University of Lincoln. It will be run by Siemens
:07:09. > :07:11.and the University. Businesses in part of Lincoln city
:07:12. > :07:13.centre say they are fed-up after seeing an increase
:07:14. > :07:15.in thefts and vandalism. Shop owners on Bailgate claim
:07:16. > :07:18.the CCTV in the area isn't doing The Council says it is due to be
:07:19. > :07:23.upgraded over the next few months. Close to the Castle and Cathedral,
:07:24. > :07:27.Lincoln's Bailgate is home to many independent businesses
:07:28. > :07:28.which are popular with But recently they've seen
:07:29. > :07:37.some unwelcome visitors. The windows of this shop
:07:38. > :07:39.were recently smashed Staff here have now changed
:07:40. > :07:45.their displays to try We have got our internal CCTV
:07:46. > :07:49.cameras and we have also We can't have the external ones
:07:50. > :07:53.because of the building Businesses here are now calling
:07:54. > :08:00.for improved CCTV coverage. It does appear to be the case that
:08:01. > :08:03.every time something happens, the CCTV, without fail,
:08:04. > :08:05.was pointing in the wrong direction. I actually wonder whether it points
:08:06. > :08:07.in any direction apart There is one camera
:08:08. > :08:15.and it faces down there. Unfortunately, we are a bit exposed,
:08:16. > :08:20.as are the other shops. The Council says the CCTV
:08:21. > :08:22.is in good working order. The CCTV is due to be upgraded
:08:23. > :08:25.over the next few months and we are looking at options
:08:26. > :08:28.to increase coverage. Although this will be subject
:08:29. > :08:30.to finances and we can't commit to any specific expansion areas
:08:31. > :08:35.at this point. In the last month we've had five
:08:36. > :08:39.burglaries in the Bail... Inspector Coates tells me the police
:08:40. > :08:43.have now increased patrols here. We have put additional patrols
:08:44. > :08:45.overnight when the offences We also have a dedicated police
:08:46. > :09:01.community support officer for the Bailgate area,
:09:02. > :09:03.so we try and patrol the area as much as we can but,
:09:04. > :09:06.obviously, with limited resources, there is only so much
:09:07. > :09:08.we can achieve. Officers say they've yet catch
:09:09. > :09:10.anyone for the recent offences More than ?2 million

:10:28. > :10:29.for jobs in manufacturing and engineering according to some
:10:30. > :10:31.of our area's leading employers. There are double the number of jobs

:11:10. > :11:13.told to go into waitressing or photography, that kind of thing. You
:11:14. > :11:19.get told that our factory job is more of a man's job. It's nowhere

:11:55. > :12:00.a special event this weekend. There are lots of fabulous women who

:12:26. > :12:34.I went to an event today. I used to think manufacturing was a male kind
:12:35. > :12:39.of thing, not for girls. And I absolutely love it.
:12:40. > :12:41.The company actively promotes what they do in schools
:12:42. > :12:54.It is not male dominated. Ladies are encouraged here and in lots of big

:13:28. > :13:34.subjects. -- do you know. My physics teacher said that she thought it
:13:35. > :13:39.would be a good environment for me. There was not an engineering
:13:40. > :13:44.programme at my all girl school. I hit the books, I went to the library
:13:45. > :13:49.and read into engineering. I thought it sounded like the thing for me.
:13:50. > :13:54.Then I decided to join the air force. We have just heard from a
:13:55. > :13:59.woman at Siemens Saint when she was at school she was told to go into
:14:00. > :14:06.waitressing or photography and engineering is not a role for women.
:14:07. > :14:13.What should schools be doing? Do you know what, in many jobs, there are
:14:14. > :14:17.so many rolls out there. Listen to people is advice, but if you want to
:14:18. > :14:22.do something, go for it. Nobody should tell you what you can or
:14:23. > :14:28.cannot do. It is up to you. Maybe you want to be a waitress or an air
:14:29. > :14:32.hose test, an engineer, doctor or dentist. It doesn't matter. Do what
:14:33. > :14:44.you want to do. Engineering is for me. I like fixing things and I like
:14:45. > :14:46.physics. So I went for it. What would you say to girls at school
:14:47. > :14:50.watching the TV tonight regarding engineering as a career? Just go for
:14:51. > :14:55.it. Find out as much as you can. For me, engineering in the military was
:14:56. > :15:01.what I wanted to do, so I joined the Air Cadets. I spoke to engineers and
:15:02. > :15:05.find out what it was like. That is how I got into it. I went to
:15:06. > :15:12.university to study engineering and then I joined the air force when I
:15:13. > :15:15.left. Tremendous story. Thank you for telling us all about it. Thank
:15:16. > :15:19.you, Peter. Still ahead tonight: The film

:16:05. > :16:09.David, thank you. Regarding the five day forecast, Roy wrote to me this
:16:10. > :16:13.morning. If Paul Hudson gives a five-day accurate forecast, why
:16:14. > :16:18.don't we all may have to suffer him every fifth day? I think many people
:16:19. > :16:23.would go along with that. I think you'll find many people
:16:24. > :16:34.would like me to be on five days a week.
:16:35. > :16:42.Let's have the forecast... The headline for the next 24 hours.
:16:43. > :16:47.Not the sunny skies of today, it will cloud over from the West
:16:48. > :16:50.through the course of tomorrow. Let's look at this week warm front
:16:51. > :16:55.which will bring a band of cloud eastwards after what should be
:16:56. > :17:01.bright start with some sunshine. Saturday, cloudy and some patchy
:17:02. > :17:08.rain southwards. A good deal of dry weather to come on Saturday as well.
:17:09. > :17:13.Absolutely stunning out there with blue skies and sunshine. As we head
:17:14. > :17:20.through the course of this evening, little will change. The wind will
:17:21. > :17:24.continue to ease. Falling light overnight. There will be a ground
:17:25. > :17:28.frost in rural locations, particularly in East Yorkshire.
:17:29. > :17:46.Three or four or five. A bright start with some sunshine in
:17:47. > :17:53.the morning. Gradually clouding over from the West. The afternoon looks
:17:54. > :17:59.pretty cloudy. The emphasis is on a good deal of dry weather. Looking at
:18:00. > :18:04.the top temperatures, just a light southerly breeze and we look at
:18:05. > :18:10.highs of about ten or 11 degrees. Ten for Grimsby. Another fairly
:18:11. > :18:16.cloudy day on Saturday. The risk of some patchy rain on Sunday, but dry
:18:17. > :18:27.and bright spells. Peter! That is your forecast. Neill says there are
:18:28. > :18:33.five hours left, not four hours. Peter, I think you need to get out a
:18:34. > :18:41.bit more, don't you? Let's not upset people.
:18:42. > :18:43.Some of the best moving images captured in Hull
:18:44. > :18:45.over the last 100 years, by both amateurs and professionals,
:18:46. > :18:48.will be shown on the big screen for the first time.

:19:34. > :19:38.This piece of footage takes us through to the 1940s and the Second
:19:39. > :19:42.World War. It's quite poignant we look back at the devastation, the
:19:43. > :19:50.bombing and the blitz of 1941. Then we see the celebrations and however
:19:51. > :19:54.they came together to mark VE Day. Do you think film-makers at this
:19:55. > :20:00.time knew they were documenting such a momentous day? This was a film
:20:01. > :20:04.maker from Beverley cold Ernest. He made newsreels. I think he had an
:20:05. > :20:09.eye on the future and he knew what he was capturing. We couldn't do a
:20:10. > :20:12.film show about the city of Hull without looking at the fishing
:20:13. > :20:23.industry. A rich industry going back many hundreds of years. I love these
:20:24. > :20:27.images of the barbarous, who had to duck out of the way of the swinging
:20:28. > :20:37.baskets. That's how they got their name. At long last, the River Humber
:20:38. > :20:40.will have a bridge. It is incredible to see the operation. The
:20:41. > :20:44.foundations and the building of the towers. We don't want people to
:20:45. > :20:50.watch these films in silence. Talk about your memories. Maybe you will
:20:51. > :20:54.recognise family members and ancestors. We want people to come
:20:55. > :20:57.forward and identify the people in these films.
