The former Home Secretary and Hull West and Hessle MP

:00:07.:00:10.

Alan Johnson says the Government should step up measures to prevent

:00:11.:00:12.

radicalisation following this week's Westminster terror attack.

:00:13.:00:17.

The Prevent programme is part of the Government's counterterror

:00:18.:00:20.

strategy and aims to stop people becoming drawn to violence.

:00:21.:00:23.

Some in the Muslim community have described the scheme as toxic,

:00:24.:00:26.

but Alan Johnson insists it has a vital role to play.

:00:27.:00:32.

Obviously, it has to be the right mechanism.

:00:33.:00:34.

There are things you can do, I don't say we got a right

:00:35.:00:38.

But it would be perverse to have a counterterrorism strategy

:00:39.:00:41.

that didn't trying to prevent people being radicalised

:00:42.:00:45.

The new owners of a test track used by racing drivers near Gainsborough,

:00:46.:00:53.

say they want to improve the facilities and help

:00:54.:00:55.

create the next generation of motor sport drivers.

:00:56.:00:59.

Ginetta Cars announced their purchase of the track this week and,

:01:00.:01:01.

as Europe's largest manufacturer of racing cars, said buying

:01:02.:01:04.

For the last six years, the Blyton Park test track

:01:05.:01:10.

in Lincolnshire has been an easy access space for motorsport

:01:11.:01:14.

clubs like this one to test out their vehicles.

:01:15.:01:18.

It's also been used by car manufacturers to test out theirs.

:01:19.:01:22.

Ginetta has been a long-standing customer, but now they've become

:01:23.:01:25.

Ginetta is really all about investing in British motorsport.

:01:26.:01:33.

And investing in the future of racing in the UK.

:01:34.:01:41.

And I think that, as a British manufacturer of racing cars,

:01:42.:01:44.

it's a logical step for us to purchase a track

:01:45.:01:46.

in the UK to help motorsport from the grassroots level,

:01:47.:01:48.

very much through to our aspirations to go to Le Mans

:01:49.:01:51.

Although Ginetta their manufacture their cars like this one

:01:52.:02:00.

in Garforth, near Leeds, they're no strangers to Lincolnshire.

:02:01.:02:01.

In fact, you could call this a bit of a homecoming.

:02:02.:02:04.

The bodyworks were handbuilt just outside of Parton.

:02:05.:02:07.

The chassis was made in Scunthorpe it's company that's

:02:08.:02:13.

been around a long time, 1938 it was founded, down in Essex,

:02:14.:02:16.

It's great for it to return back to its roots.

:02:17.:02:25.

In Scunthorpe, they concentrated their efforts on building the G32

:02:26.:02:27.

But their biggest initial export deals came from

:02:28.:02:32.

Famous for racing on all the world's major circuits and smashing lap

:02:33.:02:37.

We've just acquired Blyton Park, very exciting for me,

:02:38.:02:40.

we can look to enhance the driving experience here.

:02:41.:02:43.

I want to bring people to the area and teach them to drive.

:02:44.:02:46.

My fear would be that it becomes only a corporate facility.

:02:47.:02:53.

So, hopefully it will stay above to the public.

:02:54.:03:00.

If we can use the circuits, and as long as they're happy to keep

:03:01.:03:03.

to let us club racers use it, then that's brilliant, yeah.

:03:04.:03:06.

At the moment the new bosses are saying things will stay

:03:07.:03:09.

And for now, that's exactly what these motor

:03:10.:03:14.

Researchers say that more work needs to be done to find out what impact

:03:15.:03:20.

wind farms have on harbour porpoises, which can be

:03:21.:03:22.

There are concerns that the construction of wind farms may

:03:23.:03:26.

drive the animals away and it's not clear how many return.

:03:27.:03:30.

They're seen as a barometer for the well being of the sea.

:03:31.:03:35.

In football, Scunthorpe United picked up a vital win this afternoon

:03:36.:03:37.

in their battle for promotion from League One.

:03:38.:03:40.

Two first-half goals gave Bradford the lead after the Iron went

:03:41.:03:43.

After grabbing an equaliser, a goal from Matt Crookes with eight

:03:44.:03:49.

minutes left secured a 3-2 win for the home side.

:03:50.:03:53.

The Iron move up to fourth place in the table.

:03:54.:03:57.

It was a tough game against a tough side, but we dug in deep and got

:03:58.:04:06.

A bit more spirit there now, isn't there?

:04:07.:04:11.

So hopefully they'll get back to winning ways and kick

:04:12.:04:13.

start the season again, get in the play-offs.

:04:14.:04:15.

It was great to come back from 2-1 down and to win 3-2.

:04:16.:04:19.

We didn't think it was quite happen, but she loved it.

:04:20.:04:21.

I think we're going to go up, definitely.

:04:22.:04:26.

In Rugby League, Hull Kingston Rovers made it seven wins from seven

:04:27.:04:30.

The Robins trailed 14-8 at halftime, but ran out winners by 28-14.

:04:31.:04:36.

The Red and Whites are now four points clear at

:04:37.:04:39.

Tonight sees the second of two live performances in Hull

:04:40.:04:44.

Ziggy Stadust And The Spiders From Mars.

:04:45.:04:49.

The original album was a hit in the 70s and is seen

:04:50.:04:51.

It featured Mick Ronson and Woody Woodmansey,

:04:52.:04:56.

Let's get a look at the weather with Abbie Dewhurst.

:04:57.:05:02.

Hi there, what a gorgeous weekend, and we're ending it on a pretty

:05:03.:05:05.

Clear spells initially, yes, but will see some cloud

:05:06.:05:09.

So mist and fog patches forming in some places as well.

:05:10.:05:14.

Temperatures, because of all this cloud, won't drop quite

:05:15.:05:16.

as low as they have done, down to about four degrees.

:05:17.:05:19.

We could see a couple of spots of frost rurally.

:05:20.:05:22.

We start the day tomorrow and quite a cloudy and murky note.

:05:23.:05:25.

Not all bad, high pressure still in charge, so some dry

:05:26.:05:28.

and decent sunny spells developing in the afternoon.

:05:29.:05:33.

Not quite as warm as the weekend, highs of 11, and along that east

:05:34.:05:37.

coast, always a little cooler with the onshore breeze.

:05:38.:05:41.

For the rest of the week, a lot more cloud.

:05:42.:05:43.

More unsettled with some rain, but still nice and mild.

:05:44.:05:49.

That's all for now, we'll be back with your late bulletin at 10:20pm.

:05:50.:05:51.

For the first time this year, the temperature reached 20 Celsius, the

:05:52.:06:13.

highest recorded in Highland Scotland, lovely picture from

:06:14.:06:17.

earlier on. We have seen more cloud around today, mostly thin, high

:06:18.:06:21.

cloud, but some coming from the near continent, we are seeing more

:06:22.:06:25.

spilling in from the North Sea, so some changes on the way. Still, the

:06:26.:06:29.

temperatures will drop quickly, low cloud and misty weather coming in

:06:30.:06:33.

from the North Sea later in the night to conflict the radiation

:06:34.:06:36.

balance. Cold overnight, more chilly in the south, the winds are lighter

:06:37.:06:40.

than last night, a touch of frost more possible towards the north-west

:06:41.:06:45.

of the UK. Not quite as cold or Northern Ireland, more cloud here,

:06:46.:06:50.

not as warm as today, a great start from East Wales, north-east England,

:06:51.:06:54.

a lot of low cloud and misty weather will burn off, most of us enjoying

:06:55.:06:59.

some sunshine. Where the cloud lingers, the coast of north-east

:07:00.:07:00.

England,

:07:01.:07:02.
