Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:00.

Good evening. Welcome to the late Look North.

:00:00.:00:08.

The headlines tonight: Armed police will be on Lincolnshire's streets

:00:09.:00:12.

after the deadly lorry attack in Berlin.

:00:13.:00:15.

Catching drivers who jump red lights - the new cameras

:00:16.:00:18.

And a call to keep shops closed on Boxing Day,

:00:19.:00:24.

so people can spend more time with their families.

:00:25.:00:33.

A very windy day tomorrow. The brisk winds will last across Christmas

:00:34.:00:38.

weekend. I am back later. Armed police will patrol

:00:39.:00:41.

busy and crowded places across Lincolnshire over Christmas

:00:42.:00:53.

and New Year. Officers say there is no

:00:54.:00:55.

specific threat here, but that the patrols will offer

:00:56.:00:58.

reassurance in the days after the attack on a Christmas

:00:59.:01:02.

market in Berlin. Patrolling officers

:01:03.:01:05.

are not routinely armed It's familiar front page news -

:01:06.:01:07.

another suspected terror attack on foreign soil -

:01:08.:01:16.

this time at a German Christmas Because of these events,

:01:17.:01:19.

armed police from forces in the East Midlands,

:01:20.:01:25.

including Lincolnshire, will now patrol busy and crowded

:01:26.:01:27.

areas this Christmas. This is solely a reassurance

:01:28.:01:33.

and a patrol from officers that have

:01:34.:01:35.

got the capability. Those that go through airports

:01:36.:01:37.

routinely we deploy officers carrying firearms

:01:38.:01:42.

in that environment and all we are doing

:01:43.:01:43.

is we're taking that tactic

:01:44.:01:45.

and using it in areas where we know there

:01:46.:01:47.

are high volumes of members

:01:48.:01:48.

of the public. But do people on one of Lincoln's

:01:49.:01:51.

busiest streets feel reassured They would make me feel nervous,

:01:52.:01:54.

but it does seem that times are changing quite a lot and there

:01:55.:02:01.

are more terrorist attacks. I do feel incredibly

:02:02.:02:05.

safe when I'm here but I think it would make me feel

:02:06.:02:09.

like there is something

:02:10.:02:11.

to fear if I saw that. The UK's terror threat has been

:02:12.:02:14.

ranked as severe since 2014, But senior firearms officers working

:02:15.:02:18.

across Lincolnshire say there is no specific threat

:02:19.:02:26.

to the East Midlands. The patrols are happening

:02:27.:02:30.

across four police force areas but officers have also

:02:31.:02:33.

been deployed in cities It would be a deterrent and I think

:02:34.:02:35.

we have got to see it positively. And don't forget, these armed

:02:36.:02:43.

officers are just normal They gone through all

:02:44.:02:45.

the same training, they've carried out similar roles

:02:46.:02:48.

to unarmed officers, so they are They are not there

to be frightened of. They are doing their job

:02:52.:02:56.

and one of the key Police carrying guns might be

an uncommon sight in Lincolnshire, but it's hoped their presence

:02:59.:03:04.

in crowded places will help people feel reassured

could be caught by new cameras. The city council wants to trial

:03:53.:04:00.

the use of number plate recognition cameras at key junctions,

:04:01.:04:04.

with the aim of reducing accidents. One of the busiest junctions in Hull

:04:05.:04:11.

- but when the lights go red, To end this the city wants

:04:12.:04:16.

to introduce Automatic Number plate recognition cameras -

:04:17.:04:23.

to some of its roads. There have been incidents

in the past wearing red light jumpers have ended up causing

serious accidents and It's a national problem

but there seems to be quite a high Unless the lights are green,

drivers must stop. There are a few exceptions,

:04:39.:04:44.

but committing this offence carries three penalty points

:04:45.:04:47.

and a fine of ?100. During the pilot, traffic light

cameras will capture the details of motorists

:04:53.:04:56.

who are jumping the lights. Drivers during the trial phase

will not be penalised, but information will be sent

if they are jumping the red lights and the other ones are coming,

so yeah, definitely agree. Sometimes it gets close,

it changes quite quick. I don't think I should be

of people who think shops shouldn't The Lincoln MP, Karl McCartney,

wants people to be given the time And more than 140,000 people have

of Christmas as turkey and tinsel - While stores used to close

for the whole festive period, So staff have to go back to work.

:06:36.:06:41.

And some say that's not right. Christmas time is a time

to be spending with your If you have only got one day off,

:06:49.:06:51.

which is Christmas Day, you're probably worried

:06:52.:06:56.

about what time you have to get up the next day and go into work,

:06:57.:06:59.

if you're made to go into work. Some people are happy to work

:07:00.:07:02.

but I don't think people We should allow people

to have some quality time Last year, more than 36,000

:07:06.:07:08.

people in the UK had to go But many more people hit the stores

:07:09.:07:12.

- an estimated 22 million shoppers And big firms say they

:07:13.:07:17.

rely on that trade. Retailers don't just

:07:18.:07:21.

have to compete with other high street shops,

:07:22.:07:23.

they have to compete with

Internet shopping. People will be shopping

online on Christmas Day. To be closed on Boxing

trade on Boxing Day. shut for Boxing day -

:07:35.:07:38.

the owner many stores only open because they feel

:07:39.:07:42.

like they need to compete. Especially with the pressure

:07:43.:07:48.

for busy time, there is such a pressure

:07:49.:07:49.

for small businesses and everything So do people really

:07:50.:07:55.

want to spend their I figure should own --

thing should be open on Boxing Day but only

:08:05.:08:10.

if they are necessary. We relax on Christmas Day. Why

:08:11.:08:26.

shouldn't we relax on Boxing Day as well?

:08:27.:08:27.

But even if you'll be home with a cold turkey sandwich,

:08:28.:08:33.

Earlier, I spoke to the manager of the St Stephen's

:08:34.:08:35.

I started by asking whether he thought shop staff

:08:36.:08:39.

Boxing Day is a fun day, Boxing Day is a customer day.

:08:40.:08:47.

I think... So, they don't deserve a rest?

:08:48.:08:51.

But if you work in retail, it's one of those great days you have.

:08:52.:08:56.

Not great if you have to work, is it?

:08:57.:08:59.

Several MPs have said that it should be a day of rest.

:09:00.:09:02.

I think it is, but I think for those of us who work,

:09:03.:09:07.

So everybody who is working is choosing to work?

:09:08.:09:17.

I think so, yes. And it's also a premium paying day.

:09:18.:09:20.

If people are desperate to buy something, they can just

:09:21.:09:22.

go online and buy it, if they are that desperate.

:09:23.:09:24.

They have had weeks to go to the shops.

:09:25.:09:26.

It's a very special day. It's the first day of the sales...

:09:27.:09:29.

It's a big day for you to make money?

:09:30.:09:34.

It's a wonderful day to get out of the house.

:09:35.:09:36.

You have had two days of turkey and chestnuts...

:09:37.:09:38.

If I want to get out of the house, I'll go for a walk

:09:39.:09:42.

No, come shopping. It's great fun.

:09:43.:09:44.

You get some amazing bargains and it really is a great day to shop.

:09:45.:09:48.

Can they turn round and say they don't want to work?

:09:49.:09:50.

Not everyone agreed. Lots of Commons in tonight on that. Finally, the

:09:51.:10:07.

weather. Good evening. A windy day tomorrow. It looks like a windy

:10:08.:10:10.

Christmas weekend. And the weather quietened down. Any showers will die

:10:11.:10:19.

away tonight and we may get a touch of frost rurally. Temperatures

:10:20.:10:23.

getting back to three or 4 degrees. Tomorrow the main feature of the

:10:24.:10:27.

weather will be the wind. Even touching gale force at times. Later

:10:28.:10:33.

in the day a band of rain will sweep through. Squally winds. Very short

:10:34.:10:40.

lived rain later in the day with temperatures in double figures.

:10:41.:10:43.

Fairly academic given the strength of the wind. Saturday's dry with

:10:44.:10:48.

sunshine. Very mild for Christmas Day. Very windy, too. That's it for

:10:49.:10:55.

us. I give watching. We are back in the morning with summaries from six

o'clock. Join us at half past six tomorrow.

:11:05.:11:15.

I suppose you could say today was the calm before the storm. A
