Hull City turn to Portugal for the man who they hope will keep

I hope they can bring new talent and some new ideas. Those that have done

it have been successful, let's hope it can wait for us.

Protecting workers' rights - a local MP demands

The rights we have in this country as working people are pretty scant,

for those that have been made redundant or fired, they realise the

ability to access some rights are very difficult. A chilly couple of

are in for a change. Temperatures are in for a change. Temperatures

going up. Stay tuned for a full forecast.

Hull City have turned to Portugal for the man they hope will keep them

Marco Silva has barely played or managed outside his homeland

but today took over at the Premier League's bottom club.

He's been labelled the "New Mourinho" by some commentators.

Tonight Silva told the club's website premier league

If you are not an expert on European football then you've probably never

He's Marco Silva, and he's swapped the Mediterranean sun for a chilly

I think it is good, the blueprint for teams,

Hopefully some new talent in and new ideas to help

brighten the team up, good attacking style

So what do we know about Marco Silva.

He was a right back and played his whole career in Portugal.

He got his first club - Estoril - promoted to the top league

and won the Portuguese cup with Sporting Lisbon but was sacked

for not wearing the club's official suit at that final.

Last season his side Olympiakos set a European record

as they won 17 games in a row - on their way to the Greek title.

I think it is an appointment that shows ambition and vision.

I think it should energise the players.

I feel confident he can improve the players collectively

So Marco Silva and his coaching team took their first training session

today with a weighty task ahead of them.

Hull City sit bottom of the table and have won just one

The club's owners will be hoping they've picked

The new manager and his tactics have been kept under wraps here today.

He does have a couple of cup games coming up in the next week

but surely Marco Silva s biggest task is keeping Hull city

I'm joined by Geoff Bielby from the Hull City Supporters' Trust.

What is your view of this appointment question mark Er...

Cautious optimism, excitement, yes, a change is as good as a rest. Is

getting someone with limited managerial experience and none in

the British Premier league, a gamble? A big gamble and that's why

it is cautious optimism. Many pundits commenting on the

appointment say it is wrong and you should be a British manager. The

backroom team, and of the management team and support staff know the

players, they met them today. Does that matter? It could do. You don't

sound enthusiastic. I am but it is a huge gamble to bring a foreign

manager in. If you are where you are and they are at the bottom, the only

way is up. We were playing well under Mike Phelan with half the

squad and little support from the owners. Should he have been kept on?

I believe so and I hope the owners give the new manager, the new head

coach, as he is, some serious support. We need a right back, we

lost El Mohammad E and another to go to the African cup of Nations. We

still have injuries. He has said in the interview that Premier League

survival is his only focus. He will not with the manager if we do not

stay in the Premier League. And that is ultimately and absolutely his

only focus. Do you think that given the current situation, 18 games

left, relegation is inevitable? We are three points from safety, we

played well and the players played well for Mike Phelan. The key thing

for the new head coach is to galvanise the team and bring in the

important additions to the squad we need, a goal-scorer, right back and

give the squad the additional tools. Your message to the owners? They

need to listen to the fans, listen to the pundits and listen to the new

coaching team and give them the support they did not give Steve

Bruce in the summer and they did not give to Mike Phelan. Good to see

you. Thank you for coming in. The first parts for wind

turbines have left The company's Green Port

officially opened last month. More than 300 million pounds have

been invested in the site The Sea Challenger left this morning

heading for a wind farm which is being built off

the Norfolk coast. First sail out, culmination of three

or four years of hard work, not just to build blades

but to construct the site, plan it and preassembly

and load take place. Health bosses say they will try

to keep some care services in Wainfleet in Lincolnshire

after the town's GP surgery closed. It was shut down in November

because of safety concerns and patients were asked to register

with a doctor in Skegness. Today the local Clinical

Commissioning Group said GP shortages mean the surgery cannot be

replaced, but neighbouring practices will be asked to run a reduced

service in the town. We have heard about the distance

people have to travel and the issues around local transport

so what we would want to do is make sure they have access to the right

services in Wainfleet, it does not mean they have to travel

for some services but primarily we would like to provide services

as locally as possible. The Grimsby MP Melanie Onn

is campaigning to keep workers' rights which she says are currently

guaranteed by membership The MP says some entitlements

could disappear with Brexit. But some businesses see

a chance to free Britain One of Britain's biggest decisions -

which EU laws to keep? The Great Grimsby MP

Melanie Onn has already chosen People deserve to know their rights

will not be detrimental it. Melanie Onn's pushing ahead

with a bill to adopt EU employment In an attempt to stop

the government weakening worker's I am trying to make sure this stays

at the top of the agenda and provide a bill that ensures

the right people currently enjoy while at work

are continued going forward. A significant amount of UK

employment law comes from the EU. So the UK government needs

to decide which EU laws That means anything -

including holiday pay, agency worker rights,

paternity and maternity pay - But trade unions, the Labour Party

and many Conservatives say they're But others like Hull Haulier Dominic

Yeardley see leaving the EU People would not have voted to leave

the EU without major consideration of reviewing the laws,

it is time for people to be taking a look and thinking,

this is a good opportunity to review For now though employment

lawyer Mary Walker says She says little will change legally

with or without Melanie Onn's bill. When it comes to family friendly

policies come body are maternity, leave and pay is higher

than in Europe, holiday leave is larger than Europe,

there are huge swathes of protection But with Brexit creating

an uncertain future for many Melanie Onn insists parliament

would do well to agree her plans to ensure workers'

rights aren't eroded. Weather forecast

with Owain Wyn Evans. Hello, a chilly couple of days

across East Yorkshire and another chilly one tonight. It is turning

blue, temperatures dipping below freezing across rural parts. A band

of cloud creeps into western parts arriving later on. Lows of one

Celsius. A cold start tomorrow, a lot cloudier and then a band of rain

pushes across from the West introducing thicker cloud, and rain.

Temperatures getting to three or five Celsius but rising later. Over

the weekend, we lose the weather front. This area of high pressure

starts to build, we catch a bit of a breather, that introduces milder air

so it is not as cold into Saturday and Sunday but it will be a lot

cloudier. See you soon. I hope you are concentrating on the weather. We

are back tomorrow. Goodbye for now. creeping up by a notch or two, 10,

maybe nine Celsius. Here is Louise with the national picture.

Won't it cold and frosty this morning? The coldest night of the

winter so far in
