Labour is facing the "fight of its life" in the forthcoming

:00:11.:00:15.

That's according to Grimsby's MP Melanie Onn.

:00:16.:00:18.

Lincolnshire's politicians have been debating some of the key issues

:00:19.:00:21.

in the campaign including Brexit and Immigration.

:00:22.:00:23.

More from our political editor, Tim Iredale.

:00:24.:00:28.

The first weekend of the general election campaign has seen local

:00:29.:00:31.

Lincolnshire Conservatives are hoping voters will support

:00:32.:00:33.

Theresa May's bid to secure a stronger mandate

:00:34.:00:35.

The key thing with this general election is a vote

:00:36.:00:42.

for the Conservatives gives Theresa May a stronger hand

:00:43.:00:50.

with which to negotiate our best deal as leave the European Union.

:00:51.:00:53.

But Ukip claim the Government can't be trusted on immigration.

:00:54.:00:55.

One of the biggest issues was immigration and we will have

:00:56.:00:59.

uncontrolled immigration after Brexit with this

:01:00.:01:01.

And do Labour MPs really expect to turnaround

:01:02.:01:05.

There is absolutely no doubt that this is going to be

:01:06.:01:10.

However, you don't go into an election admitting any kind

:01:11.:01:16.

We'll hear from other parties as the campaign progresses,

:01:17.:01:20.

but it's clear that Lincolnshire is set for a long election battle.

:01:21.:01:28.

Police are investigating two armed robberies in the Stoneferry

:01:29.:01:31.

Staff at a petrol station on Leads Road were threatened by two

:01:32.:01:35.

men during the incident before a man was also attacked and robbed

:01:36.:01:38.

Police are urging residents in the area to be extra vigilant.

:01:39.:01:43.

Gay rights campaigners have been protesting to raise awareness

:01:44.:01:47.

of the plight of gay men in Chechnya.

:01:48.:01:49.

A demonstration was held in Hull this afternoon.

:01:50.:01:51.

It follows reports that the Chechnyan government has been

:01:52.:01:54.

torturing and killing gay men as part of a systematic campaign.

:01:55.:01:59.

Today is just an opportunity for the LGBT plus community of Hull

:02:00.:02:02.

and East Riding to sort of offer solidarity and support

:02:03.:02:05.

to the dreadful situation that's happening in Chechnya where LGBT

:02:06.:02:08.

people, predominantly gay men, are being persecuted, tortured

:02:09.:02:14.

Large crowds have turned out in Hull to see a reenactment

:02:15.:02:21.

of a pivotal moment that started the English Civil War.

:02:22.:02:23.

History enthusiasts put on a performance showing how

:02:24.:02:25.

-- Hull's city gates were closed to royalist forces in 1642.

:02:26.:02:32.

The sights and sounds of the 17th century,

:02:33.:02:38.

grabbing the attention of Sunday shoppers in Hull.

:02:39.:02:43.

You could see people who did not know this was on,

:02:44.:02:47.

just out doing some shopping and their jaws hit the floor

:02:48.:02:49.

I think a lot of them were wondering if we have had a time slip

:02:50.:02:55.

and they have gone back to the 17th century.

:02:56.:02:57.

It's exactly 375 years since Hull turned it's back on a king,

:02:58.:03:02.

an act which led to English Civil War.

:03:03.:03:06.

Some of them incited him to kill the governor.

:03:07.:03:08.

Today, hundreds gathered to see the moment re-enacted.

:03:09.:03:13.

It is nice for people to get together and celebrate.

:03:14.:03:14.

Since we became City of Culture, every day is so busy in Hull

:03:15.:03:19.

and it is great that lots and lots of people are coming here

:03:20.:03:24.

The story of Sir John Hotham's act of defiance was performed

:03:25.:03:28.

at the place where it happened, by the remains of Beverley Gate.

:03:29.:03:34.

It was kind of looking a bit sad really.

:03:35.:03:36.

Water in the bottom, litter was accumulating.

:03:37.:03:39.

Hopefully this new space with the banners and the interpretation

:03:40.:03:43.

that is going in will signal a new start for people to add

:03:44.:03:46.

to its story and people using it more often.

:03:47.:03:51.

Work to preserve Beverley Gate is nearly complete.

:03:52.:03:54.

Hull's current residents gathered by it to see a piece of their city's

:03:55.:03:59.

In Rugby League, Hull FC beat league leaders Castleford this afternoon.

:04:00.:04:07.

They had prop Liam Watts sent off in the first half but won 26-24.

:04:08.:04:13.

Well, it will turn colder over the next few days and overnight

:04:14.:04:20.

thicker cloud starts to build from the north.

:04:21.:04:21.

With this, I think will see some spits and spots of rain,

:04:22.:04:24.

the heaviest of which will be further inland and temperatures

:04:25.:04:27.

A cloudy start of the day tomorrow with further outbreaks of rain.

:04:28.:04:33.

I think we'll see something a bit brighter later on.

:04:34.:04:36.

With our top temperatures reaching 10 or 11 Celsius, yes,

:04:37.:04:40.

those temperatures start to dip, then, over the next few days,

:04:41.:04:42.

potentially frosty nights and some wintry showers.

:04:43.:04:47.

It has been a fine and dry day, and it the sunshine temperatures were

:04:48.:05:16.

about 17 degrees. But a change in weather as we had through this week.

:05:17.:05:21.

Wintry showers and some frosty night in the forecast over the next few

:05:22.:05:26.

nights. We have a cold front starting to work in across Scotland,

:05:27.:05:30.

introducing colder air towards the North. Towards the south, cloud and

:05:31.:05:35.

outbreaks of rain. In Scotland and Northern Ireland. Most places are

:05:36.:05:40.

largely dry to the south of that. We could see a touch of grassed frost

:05:41.:05:46.

for the south-west. Very cold first thing Monday morning across the

:05:47.:05:49.

sheltered glens of Scotland. Sleet and snow working in across Scotland

:05:50.:05:53.

tomorrow. Further south across the country, this band of cloud, and

:05:54.:05:57.

outbreaks of rain across England and Wales.

:05:58.:05:58.
