:00:00. > :00:08.Good evening. Welcome to the late Look North.

:00:09. > :00:12.The headlines tonight: Armed police will be on Lincolnshire's streets

:00:13. > :00:15.after the deadly lorry attack in Berlin.

:00:16. > :00:18.Catching drivers who jump red lights - the new cameras

:00:19. > :00:24.And a call to keep shops closed on Boxing Day,

:00:25. > :00:33.so people can spend more time with their families.

:00:34. > :00:38.A very windy day tomorrow. The brisk winds will last across Christmas

:00:39. > :00:41.weekend. I am back later. Armed police will patrol

:00:42. > :00:53.busy and crowded places across Lincolnshire over Christmas

:00:54. > :00:55.and New Year. Officers say there is no

:00:56. > :00:58.specific threat here, but that the patrols will offer

:00:59. > :01:02.reassurance in the days after the attack on a Christmas

:01:03. > :01:05.market in Berlin. Patrolling officers

:01:06. > :01:07.are not routinely armed It's familiar front page news -

:01:08. > :01:16.another suspected terror attack on foreign soil -

:01:17. > :01:19.this time at a German Christmas Because of these events,

:01:20. > :01:25.armed police from forces in the East Midlands,

:01:26. > :01:27.including Lincolnshire, will now patrol busy and crowded

:01:28. > :01:33.areas this Christmas. This is solely a reassurance

:01:34. > :01:35.and a patrol from officers that have

:01:36. > :01:37.got the capability. Those that go through airports

:01:38. > :01:42.routinely we deploy officers carrying firearms

:01:43. > :01:43.in that environment and all we are doing

:01:44. > :01:45.is we're taking that tactic

:01:46. > :01:47.and using it in areas where we know there

:01:48. > :01:48.are high volumes of members

:01:49. > :01:51.of the public. But do people on one of Lincoln's

:01:52. > :01:54.busiest streets feel reassured They would make me feel nervous,

:01:55. > :02:01.but it does seem that times are changing quite a lot and there

:02:02. > :02:05.are more terrorist attacks. I do feel incredibly

:02:06. > :02:09.safe when I'm here but I think it would make me feel

:02:10. > :02:11.like there is something

:02:12. > :02:14.to fear if I saw that. The UK's terror threat has been

:02:15. > :02:18.ranked as severe since 2014, But senior firearms officers working

:02:19. > :02:26.across Lincolnshire say there is no specific threat

:02:27. > :02:30.to the East Midlands. The patrols are happening

:02:31. > :02:33.across four police force areas but officers have also

:02:34. > :02:35.been deployed in cities It would be a deterrent and I think

:02:36. > :02:43.we have got to see it positively. And don't forget, these armed

:02:44. > :02:45.officers are just normal They gone through all

:02:46. > :02:48.the same training, they've carried out similar roles

:02:49. > :02:51.to unarmed officers, so they are They are not there

:02:52. > :02:56.to be frightened of. They are doing their job

:02:57. > :02:58.and one of the key Police carrying guns might be

:02:59. > :03:04.an uncommon sight in Lincolnshire, but it's hoped their presence

:03:05. > :03:07.in crowded places will help people feel reassured

:03:08. > :03:16.and alert, but not alarmed. Up to 50 people appear to have

:03:17. > :03:19.lost their jobs at a fish processing Fish Gate at Brookenby

:03:29. > :03:37.confirm if the staff would be paid. BMW is creating around 100 jobs

:03:41. > :03:44.Lincolnshire. There will be room for 10,000 cars

:03:45. > :03:49.on a 60 acre site in Killingholme. It will be ready by the end

:03:50. > :03:52.of 2017, and the contract Drivers who jump red lights in Hull

:03:53. > :04:00.could be caught by new cameras. The city council wants to trial

:04:01. > :04:04.the use of number plate recognition cameras at key junctions,

:04:05. > :04:11.with the aim of reducing accidents. One of the busiest junctions in Hull

:04:12. > :04:16.- but when the lights go red, To end this the city wants

:04:17. > :04:23.to introduce Automatic Number plate recognition cameras -

:04:24. > :04:26.to some of its roads. There have been incidents

:04:27. > :04:30.in the past wearing red light jumpers have ended up causing

:04:31. > :04:32.serious accidents and It's a national problem

:04:33. > :04:38.but there seems to be quite a high Unless the lights are green,

:04:39. > :04:44.drivers must stop. There are a few exceptions,

:04:45. > :04:47.but committing this offence carries three penalty points

:04:48. > :04:52.and a fine of ?100. During the pilot, traffic light

:04:53. > :04:56.cameras will capture the details of motorists

:04:57. > :04:59.who are jumping the lights. Drivers during the trial phase

:05:00. > :05:03.will not be penalised, but information will be sent

:05:04. > :05:07.to the Home Office for a case to be A number of cities throughout the UK

:05:08. > :05:13.already have this system in place but it would be a first

:05:14. > :05:16.for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. "A red light is a clearly understood

:05:24. > :05:29.received a formal bid, but would need to approve

:05:30. > :05:33.and fund the idea. Money from fines would also go

:05:34. > :05:37.to its road safety work. They can cause a crash,

:05:38. > :05:40.if they are jumping the red lights and the other ones are coming,

:05:41. > :05:43.so yeah, definitely agree. Sometimes it gets close,

:05:44. > :05:46.it changes quite quick. I don't think I should be

:05:47. > :05:49.put in place for that. -- I don't think fines

:05:50. > :05:51.should be put in place. Another way of funding,

:05:52. > :05:53.getting money off people. I don't like it, from a privacy

:06:00. > :06:08.by the autumn of next year. Every year on Boxing Day,

:06:09. > :06:10.more than ?3 billion But there is a growing number

:06:11. > :06:15.of people who think shops shouldn't The Lincoln MP, Karl McCartney,

:06:16. > :06:20.wants people to be given the time And more than 140,000 people have

:06:21. > :06:25.signed a petition saying the same. For some it's as much a part

:06:26. > :06:35.of Christmas as turkey and tinsel - While stores used to close

:06:36. > :06:41.for the whole festive period, So staff have to go back to work.

:06:42. > :06:48.And some say that's not right. Christmas time is a time

:06:49. > :06:51.to be spending with your If you have only got one day off,

:06:52. > :06:56.which is Christmas Day, you're probably worried

:06:57. > :06:59.about what time you have to get up the next day and go into work,

:07:00. > :07:02.if you're made to go into work. Some people are happy to work

:07:03. > :07:05.but I don't think people We should allow people

:07:06. > :07:08.to have some quality time Last year, more than 36,000

:07:09. > :07:12.people in the UK had to go But many more people hit the stores

:07:13. > :07:17.- an estimated 22 million shoppers And big firms say they

:07:18. > :07:21.rely on that trade. Retailers don't just

:07:22. > :07:23.have to compete with other high street shops,

:07:24. > :07:24.they have to compete with

:07:25. > :07:28.Internet shopping. People will be shopping

:07:29. > :07:31.online on Christmas Day. To be closed on Boxing

:07:32. > :07:34.Day as well for a high street retailer gives away more

:07:35. > :07:38.trade on Boxing Day. shut for Boxing day -

:07:39. > :07:42.the owner many stores only open because they feel

:07:43. > :07:48.like they need to compete. Especially with the pressure

:07:49. > :07:49.for busy time, there is such a pressure

:07:50. > :07:55.for small businesses and everything So do people really

:07:56. > :08:04.want to spend their I figure should own --

:08:05. > :08:10.thing should be open on Boxing Day but only

:08:11. > :08:26.if they are necessary. We relax on Christmas Day. Why

:08:27. > :08:27.shouldn't we relax on Boxing Day as well?

:08:28. > :08:33.But even if you'll be home with a cold turkey sandwich,

:08:34. > :08:35.Earlier, I spoke to the manager of the St Stephen's

:08:36. > :08:39.I started by asking whether he thought shop staff

:08:40. > :08:47.Boxing Day is a fun day, Boxing Day is a customer day.

:08:48. > :08:51.I think... So, they don't deserve a rest?

:08:52. > :08:56.But if you work in retail, it's one of those great days you have.

:08:57. > :08:59.Not great if you have to work, is it?

:09:00. > :09:02.Several MPs have said that it should be a day of rest.

:09:03. > :09:07.I think it is, but I think for those of us who work,

:09:08. > :09:17.So everybody who is working is choosing to work?

:09:18. > :09:20.I think so, yes. And it's also a premium paying day.

:09:21. > :09:22.If people are desperate to buy something, they can just

:09:23. > :09:24.go online and buy it, if they are that desperate.

:09:25. > :09:26.They have had weeks to go to the shops.

:09:27. > :09:29.It's a very special day. It's the first day of the sales...

:09:30. > :09:34.It's a big day for you to make money?

:09:35. > :09:36.It's a wonderful day to get out of the house.

:09:37. > :09:38.You have had two days of turkey and chestnuts...

:09:39. > :09:42.If I want to get out of the house, I'll go for a walk

:09:43. > :09:44.No, come shopping. It's great fun.

:09:45. > :09:48.You get some amazing bargains and it really is a great day to shop.

:09:49. > :09:50.Can they turn round and say they don't want to work?

:09:51. > :10:07.Not everyone agreed. Lots of Commons in tonight on that. Finally, the

:10:08. > :10:10.weather. Good evening. A windy day tomorrow. It looks like a windy

:10:11. > :10:19.Christmas weekend. And the weather quietened down. Any showers will die

:10:20. > :10:23.away tonight and we may get a touch of frost rurally. Temperatures

:10:24. > :10:27.getting back to three or 4 degrees. Tomorrow the main feature of the

:10:28. > :10:33.weather will be the wind. Even touching gale force at times. Later

:10:34. > :10:40.in the day a band of rain will sweep through. Squally winds. Very short

:10:41. > :10:43.lived rain later in the day with temperatures in double figures.

:10:44. > :10:48.Fairly academic given the strength of the wind. Saturday's dry with

:10:49. > :10:55.sunshine. Very mild for Christmas Day. Very windy, too. That's it for

:10:56. > :11:00.us. I give watching. We are back in the morning with summaries from six
