Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

:00:24.:00:25.

Lincolnshire MP Nick Boles who has cancer says he will stand.

:00:26.:00:32.

German engineering giant Siemens commits to Lincoln

:00:33.:00:33.

The Hull man with depression gets a boost from Princes William

:00:34.:00:38.

and Harry, as he prepares for the London Marathon.

:00:39.:00:41.

As a nation we needed to grip this because talking about mental health

:00:42.:00:44.

He was genuinely open, honest and knowledgeable,

:00:45.:00:47.

and wanted to learn more from us as well.

:00:48.:00:50.

The mystery of Brenda Simpson's Christmas cards that finally arrived

:00:51.:00:52.

For endangered hedgehogs in an East Yorkshire village. A new home. The

:00:53.:01:09.

weather forecast follows in 15 minutes.

:01:10.:01:14.

A Lincolnshire MP who was diagnosed with cancer says he WILL stand again

:01:15.:01:18.

Nick Boles - who represents Grantham and Stamford for the Conservatives -

:01:19.:01:21.

says he's completed his treatment for the disease and is expected

:01:22.:01:24.

Today MPs backed the Prime Minister's call for a snap

:01:25.:01:32.

That means thousands of local activists can begin

:01:33.:01:36.

planning their campaigns over the next seven weeks.

:01:37.:01:38.

More from our Political Editor Tim Iredale.

:01:39.:01:44.

Nick Boles revealed last year that doctors had found

:01:45.:01:47.

In recent weeks he hasn't played an active role in politics,

:01:48.:01:52.

but he did leave hospital to vote in favour of triggering

:01:53.:01:58.

Today he revealed he'd completed his final treatment

:01:59.:02:01.

for non Hodgkin's lymphoma and doctors expect him

:02:02.:02:03.

In a statement he said: "Although my current state of health

:02:04.:02:06.

will prevent me from playing an energetic part in the election

:02:07.:02:09.

campaign, I am confident that if I am re-elected I will be able

:02:10.:02:12.

to resume my duties as Member of Parliament with renewed vigour

:02:13.:02:15.

None of our MPs opposed plans for a snap election when it

:02:16.:02:25.

The only one of our sitting MPs to announce they won t be standing

:02:26.:02:29.

again in Alan Johnson as Labour's candidate in Hull West and Hessle.

:02:30.:02:34.

There is a growing list of names hoping to replace them.

:02:35.:02:38.

And Ukip MEP Mike Hookem - who was famously involved

:02:39.:02:54.

in an altercation says he want sto be party candidate in Grimsby.

:02:55.:02:58.

Amongst our MPs opinion is divided as to whether Brexit will be a

:02:59.:03:06.

dominant issue in the campaign. It is incredibly important for people

:03:07.:03:14.

to be behind that. People will be looking that under a Conservative

:03:15.:03:18.

Government we are seeing cuts to our local schools and our local NHS in

:03:19.:03:24.

crisis. Spare a thought for the thousands of activists working for

:03:25.:03:28.

all the political parties who have been thrust into a political

:03:29.:03:33.

election campaign with no notice. There was not much forewarning. I

:03:34.:03:40.

now have only really a week or so ten days to sort out all the issue

:03:41.:03:45.

around getting an election in hand and under way and the literature

:03:46.:03:50.

prepared and all the volunteers ready to help out and everything

:03:51.:03:54.

else. This is what we can expect of the next few weeks. People knocking

:03:55.:03:59.

on the door and leaflets stuffed through the letterbox from

:04:00.:04:04.

candidates who want our board. -- who want our boat.

:04:05.:04:12.

Earlier I spoke to Victoria Atkins - the Conservative MP

:04:13.:04:14.

for Louth and Horncastle - I asked whether she was surprised

:04:15.:04:17.

I didn't wake up yesterday expecting a general election and was a little

:04:18.:04:27.

bit surprised but we have a ladder chance to think about it and sleep

:04:28.:04:30.

on it and I am really looking forward to the chance. The Prime

:04:31.:04:35.

Minister has said time and again there is no need for an action. Her

:04:36.:04:40.

trust has gone out the window. She has made it clear it was a decision

:04:41.:04:44.

she took very recently and also reluctantly. She thought very

:04:45.:04:49.

carefully about it and if you think back to last summer and the

:04:50.:04:54.

immediate aftermath of the referendum the most important thing

:04:55.:04:57.

was stability for the country. She has achieved that and we have had a

:04:58.:05:01.

rapid economy and having now triggered Article 50 now she feels

:05:02.:05:07.

we need to have this general election to help give her a mandate

:05:08.:05:14.

to into Europe. 17% of East Lindsey voted for Brexit. She has made it

:05:15.:05:22.

about Brexit. -- 70%. You voted to remain. My manifesto promise to

:05:23.:05:31.

those of 15 is that we would hold a referendum and honour the results.

:05:32.:05:37.

-- 2015. I took a different view from people in my constituency but

:05:38.:05:41.

that is the nature of democracy and why we had a referendum were each

:05:42.:05:46.

person's vote counted as much as their neighbours. I'm very clear

:05:47.:05:49.

that now we have had the referendum and the result was clear I am

:05:50.:05:52.

supporting the Government and ensuring that we leave Europe. Do

:05:53.:05:57.

you feel that the people of life and Newcastle want another election. --

:05:58.:06:11.

Louth. I can appreciate that people at this stage may be thinking let's

:06:12.:06:17.

get on with it the job of Government but actually we need to have the

:06:18.:06:20.

selection so that Theresa May has the mandate she needs to do the best

:06:21.:06:26.

possible deal not just for the UK but also for Louth and Newcastle.

:06:27.:06:38.

You have a 15,000 majority. You can put your feet up and take it easy.

:06:39.:06:43.

Certainly not. I worked very hard at the last election and hope my

:06:44.:06:46.

constituents think I have worked hard since then. I'm looking forward

:06:47.:06:50.

to getting out and shaking hands and talking to people on the doorstep

:06:51.:06:53.

and winning the trust and winning the vote.

:06:54.:06:58.

There's been a big response following yesterday's announcement.

:06:59.:07:04.

Anne in Bridlington says: 'Well done Theresa May.

:07:05.:07:06.

It's time that people listened and the country needs to draw

:07:07.:07:09.

together behind you because you have to fight our cause.'

:07:10.:07:11.

But Anthony in Sleaford says 'The general election should have

:07:12.:07:14.

been called the day Theresa May took over as PM.

:07:15.:07:16.

She was not voted in by the public and has been running,

:07:17.:07:19.

or trying to run, our country without our votes.'

:07:20.:07:21.

But Gale in Scunthorpe says 'I have never voted Conservative

:07:22.:07:24.

in my life but I will definitely be voting for Theresa May.

:07:25.:07:26.

While Jeremy Corbyn is leader of the Labour Party I will not

:07:27.:07:29.

And you can still get in touch about this one.

:07:30.:07:35.

Perhaps you agree with Gale there and have voted one way

:07:36.:07:38.

all your life but will be changing your mind this time?

:07:39.:07:43.

Are you certain of how you will vote or will the campaign

:07:44.:07:46.

Is this an election about Brexit - or is it

:07:47.:08:02.

In our second look North tonight I will be talking to the Brig and

:08:03.:08:31.

Goole MP. The German engineering giant Siemens

:08:32.:08:34.

says it will spend ? 35 million relocating more of its gas turbine

:08:35.:08:37.

operations to a business The company is expanding its site

:08:38.:08:39.

on Teal Park in what it calls a positive step for the company

:08:40.:08:43.

in the city. Our business correspondent

:08:44.:08:46.

Leanne Brown is here - Well there has been lots of talk

:08:47.:08:48.

about the impact the Brexit vote might have on Siemens in the UK -

:08:49.:08:56.

but this is a sign of their confidence

:08:57.:08:59.

and commitment to the county. The company is one of the largest

:09:00.:09:01.

private employers in Lincoln, manufacture and service a range

:09:02.:09:03.

of industrial gas turbines - in simple terms they're basically

:09:04.:09:08.

engine's that generate power. Of course those parts need servicing

:09:09.:09:16.

- so with this extra investment Service Centre - that will be

:09:17.:09:28.

based at their current They're relocating a storage

:09:29.:09:32.

facility they have in Freeman Road there -

:09:33.:09:37.

so everything is in one place. Building work is set to begin

:09:38.:09:39.

as early as next month and it's hoped to be completed

:09:40.:09:42.

by spring next year - Humberside Police want help to find

:09:43.:09:45.

a missing teenager from Hull. 15-year-old Ben-Anthony

:09:46.:09:52.

Edmonds hasn't been seen since leaving his home

:09:53.:09:54.

on Sunday afternoon. Police say they're worried

:09:55.:09:57.

because of his age and are asking anyone with information

:09:58.:09:59.

to come forward. A woman is in critical

:10:00.:10:05.

but stable condition in hospital following a fire

:10:06.:10:07.

at a bungalow in Skegness. It happened at Finisterre

:10:08.:10:09.

Avenue this morning. Mental health has been in the news

:10:10.:10:12.

this week with Prince William and Prince Harry opening up

:10:13.:10:15.

about their experiences following the death of their mother

:10:16.:10:17.

Princess Diana in a car Paul Plowman from Hull is one

:10:18.:10:20.

of a group of runners - all with mental health issues -

:10:21.:10:24.

who have met, and been supported by, the two Princes

:10:25.:10:26.

as they prepare to take It's part of a documentary

:10:27.:10:29.

on the issue on BBC One tomorrow. I think from my personal point of

:10:30.:10:42.

view it is emotional side. I hate seeing people in emotional or mental

:10:43.:10:46.

torment. It is really sad because it takes you down a very different path

:10:47.:10:50.

in life. The point of the campaign with the marathon is you want to

:10:51.:10:54.

reduce the stigma. A lot of people talk about mental health like it is

:10:55.:10:56.

heavily normal. I spoke to Paul this afternoon.

:10:57.:11:11.

There were a couple of things that happened in life with relationships

:11:12.:11:14.

and work in issues like that that sent me off kilter couple of years

:11:15.:11:18.

ago. That was probably the main catalyst for it and then I've been

:11:19.:11:24.

struggling with it since then. Looking at other people and thinking

:11:25.:11:27.

they had it all with jobs and partners. I think there was a lot to

:11:28.:11:35.

do with that. I had hit 30 the era and did not think my life was going

:11:36.:11:39.

away necessarily that my peers were going and there was a lot of

:11:40.:11:42.

comparisons and compare myself to others. Prince William and Prince

:11:43.:11:46.

Harry have spoken out this week. Giving this will help people

:11:47.:11:50.

understand the issues to make them more willing to talk about mental

:11:51.:11:54.

health issues? I hope so. They have been absolutely fantastic for us in

:11:55.:11:58.

our journey. There are so high-profile that they attract so

:11:59.:12:02.

much attention. These are things that are genuine to them and have

:12:03.:12:06.

affected them. If they can speak out and say they have suffered or have

:12:07.:12:12.

sought help then that is great. You met Harry. We met Harry and William

:12:13.:12:18.

and Kate. I spent most of my time with Harry. What did you talk about?

:12:19.:12:25.

He was quite open and honest about his experience in the services and

:12:26.:12:33.

here seen a lot of vets with post-traumatic stress disorder and

:12:34.:12:37.

problems like that. He spoke to us about our problems and about mental

:12:38.:12:40.

health and how to start about in society as a whole. He was genuinely

:12:41.:12:45.

open and honest and knowledgeable and wanted to learn more from us as

:12:46.:12:48.

well so it was quite a surprise. Do you feel better now? The running,

:12:49.:12:55.

the one thing I would stress from this process is, the running has

:12:56.:13:06.

been... Out you didn't startle November? I hadn't done any exercise

:13:07.:13:15.

before. I started in November and have dropped all antidepressants now

:13:16.:13:20.

and so they do the running. That is vital for me. Exercise is crucial in

:13:21.:13:26.

the repair for mental health. I was so this is an overnight cure and

:13:27.:13:30.

will be absolutely fine when to start running but in terms of

:13:31.:13:33.

keeping me on a balanced level and a coping strategy it has been

:13:34.:13:38.

fantastic. It is very good to see. He looked very well. Crossed. Thank

:13:39.:13:48.

you very much, Peter. Cheers. -- fingers crossed.

:13:49.:13:51.

And the first programme in the two part series -

:13:52.:13:58.

Mind over Marathon - is on BBC One tomorrow

:13:59.:14:00.

And see how Paul gets on in the second programme next week.

:14:01.:14:10.

Still ahead tonight: Why Christmas arrived more than a year late

:14:11.:14:13.

for the friends and family of Brenda Simpson.

:14:14.:14:15.

A new home for endangered hedgehogs in an East Yorkshire village giving

:14:16.:14:18.

We were talking last night about caravans. I will reach one of seven

:14:19.:14:54.

e-mails. -- several e-mails. Linda says iPhone post comments about

:14:55.:14:59.

caravans and fear. To make it even I invite him to stay mine for a week

:15:00.:15:02.

in Mablethorpe. Would you like to stay with lender for a week in

:15:03.:15:12.

Mablethorpe? -- with lender. -- Linda says iPhone and Paul's

:15:13.:15:16.

comments about caravans very under fear. We will see a week and warm

:15:17.:15:25.

front heading down from the North West which will bring perhaps a

:15:26.:15:28.

little drizzle in the morning. Predominantly dry weather looks set

:15:29.:15:33.

to continue which is not good news for farmers and growers. The cloud

:15:34.:15:37.

has been steadily pushing down from the North West during the course of

:15:38.:15:41.

today. It will continue and we will see that process. This cold front is

:15:42.:15:48.

later Friday into Friday night bringing a little drizzle and no

:15:49.:15:51.

more than that. It will introduce a cooler air the weekend but brighter

:15:52.:15:56.

conditions should bring some sunny spells. Next week a proper cold push

:15:57.:16:03.

that may mean showers of a wintry nature. The forecast tonight sees

:16:04.:16:06.

that I'd continue to present the North West, perhaps bringing 12

:16:07.:16:11.

spots of light rain or drizzle. We will see most temperatures around

:16:12.:16:16.

seven Celsius. The sun rises at ten to six in the morning. The next high

:16:17.:16:22.

water time in whole Victoria Dock at quarter to one in the morning. --

:16:23.:16:31.

Hull. That week and warm front might bring a little patchy drizzle and it

:16:32.:16:37.

will be quite dry but some places quite crowded. Hopefully somewhere

:16:38.:16:42.

some cloudy spells. The warm front will bring some milder era ends with

:16:43.:16:46.

two or three degrees up on today with highs of 15 Celsius. A similar

:16:47.:16:52.

sort of day on Friday. It will be mostly dry but rather cloudy with a

:16:53.:16:56.

bit of light patchy rain on Friday night. The weekend looks a bit

:16:57.:17:00.

colder Pirbright was some sunshine and variable amounts of cloud.

:17:01.:17:06.

Mentioning Victoria Dock is not a get out of jail free card. D1 me to

:17:07.:17:18.

reply to Lynda tonight? You're always on for a free holiday. Get in

:17:19.:17:21.

the caravan. Go away. When Brenda Simpson dropped her

:17:22.:17:35.

Christmas cards off at her post office in Ruskington,

:17:36.:17:38.

near Sleaford, in December 2015 she thought it might take a few

:17:39.:17:39.

days for them to arrive. That is - until Easter Saturday -

:17:40.:17:42.

16 months later - when she started getting puzzled calls

:17:43.:17:47.

from her friends across the country. I've got friends, family,

:17:48.:17:49.

acquaintances... Brenda has a long

:17:50.:17:52.

Christmas card list. In 2015, she spent more

:17:53.:17:54.

than ?40 on postage sending I posted them early

:17:55.:17:56.

to avoid disappointment. Everyone thinks it's quite funny,

:17:57.:18:05.

but for me it's quite upsetting. cos you wouldn't be

:18:06.:18:34.

sending Christmas cards From her home village of Ruskington,

:18:35.:18:37.

Brenda sent 82 cards Some went North to Blackpool,

:18:38.:18:40.

Bradford and Rotherham. And some were sent south to London,

:18:41.:18:43.

Devon and St Austell in Cornwall. But they've taken 16 months

:18:44.:18:46.

to reach their destinations. Brenda posted her cards at the post

:18:47.:18:50.

office in her local supermarket. So long after she delivered them,

:18:51.:18:53.

no one has yet been able to explain It's not the money it's

:18:54.:18:56.

the principle of the thing. If you send a Christmas card you

:18:57.:19:08.

expect them to get it. Maybe one might call which is understandable.

:19:09.:19:16.

But for that is a lot of cards to go missing. A hell of a lot.

:19:17.:19:21.

The Royal Mail told us it's investigating.

:19:22.:19:23.

This year I'm not sending Christmas cards.

:19:24.:19:25.

It's not just the stamps, if the cards as well.

:19:26.:19:36.

Bren's now having to explain to dozens of worried

:19:37.:19:39.

The team which runs Hornsea's independent lifeboat say

:19:40.:19:46.

a new tractor to get the boat in and out of the water

:19:47.:19:49.

It was bought with a ?96,000 donation and replaces

:19:50.:19:52.

a number of decades-old tractors that were struggling

:19:53.:19:54.

to cope with driving in and out of the North Sea.

:19:55.:20:02.

The Lego daffodils in Hull City centre that were sold off yesterday

:20:03.:20:05.

People queued for hours to get one of the flowers

:20:06.:20:09.

which were on display in King Edward Square as part

:20:10.:20:11.

They were given away to nearly 2,000 people

:20:12.:20:14.

Burton Fleming in East Yorkshire is welcoming dozens

:20:15.:20:23.

It has become the first hedgehog friendly village in the North.

:20:24.:20:27.

Around fifty of them have been put in gardens across the village.

:20:28.:20:29.

Jill Archbold is there - have they been exploring

:20:30.:20:32.

A quick paint job - and Jason - is one of 50 rescued hedgehogs

:20:33.:20:43.

hedgehog friendly village - where many families are happy

:20:44.:20:53.

to see Burton Fleming's new arrivals up close...

:20:54.:20:58.

The children had never seen a hedgehog live until we started doing

:20:59.:21:03.

this project so we're hoping there will be more out in the wild for

:21:04.:21:09.

people to see and observed and back the old hedgehogs they released it

:21:10.:21:10.

when we were children. And in many of the

:21:11.:21:14.

village's back gardens - local residents have been

:21:15.:21:16.

getting their hedgerows ready... We have put it under the hedge so it

:21:17.:21:23.

can go next door but hopefully it will stay around so we can watch it.

:21:24.:21:27.

It is putting it back to the wild so if it doesn't stay it doesn't stay

:21:28.:21:31.

but at least that is a lot of rough area around here where hopefully it

:21:32.:21:33.

area around here where hopefully it can thrive.

:21:34.:21:35.

Every hedgehog has come from a sanctuary near Scunthorpe -

:21:36.:21:38.

precariously packed yesterday and brought 50 miles

:21:39.:21:40.

Look at the people. The people here are lovely and they are so keen to

:21:41.:21:52.

help and hopefully this lot will be happy and breed. We are putting a

:21:53.:21:54.

new generation back. We are putting a new

:21:55.:21:56.

generation back. And saying goodbye to a rescued

:21:57.:21:58.

hedgehog is all part of the job for sanctuary owner

:21:59.:22:00.

Frank... Our whole purpose in life is to take

:22:01.:22:08.

an injured or sick hedgehog and make it better and written to the wild.

:22:09.:22:16.

The wild animal and not a pet. -- return it to the wild. For me it is

:22:17.:22:21.

the result of hard work and very satisfying.

:22:22.:22:25.

And as the sun sets over Burton Fleming its hoped this

:22:26.:22:29.

village's new residents will walk out into the Wolds.

:22:30.:22:34.

Are they out exploring their homes? Not quite yet. Everyone who has

:22:35.:22:43.

taken home one of those hedgehogs has been told to wait until dusk but

:22:44.:22:48.

I am allowed to let the first of the hedgehogs out in Burton Fleming. It

:22:49.:22:53.

looks like they are probably going to be a bit camera shy. They are

:22:54.:22:58.

deep inside the stroller. It is unlikely they will return to those

:22:59.:23:02.

boxes once they are out in the Yorkshire walls but is hoped they

:23:03.:23:06.

will meet again and breed together and boost the population in this

:23:07.:23:07.

area. -- Wolds. Let's get a recap of the national

:23:08.:23:30.

and regional headlines Fifty days to the general election,

:23:31.:23:32.
