John Prescott's funeral to be held on Thursday
The funeral of former deputy prime minister and Hull East MP John Prescott will take place on Thursday.
The service will be held at Hull Minster at 12:00 GMT, and the family said it would be an invitation-only ceremony.
Lord Prescott died on 20 November, aged 86. He had been in a care home, living with Alzheimer's disease.
In a statement, his family said: "We wish to thank everyone for their love and support on the passing of our husband, father and grandfather."
Lord Prescott was first elected as MP for Hull East in 1970 and went on to hold the seat for almost 40 years.
He was deputy leader of the Labour Party between 1997 and 2007 and held housing, local and regional government and environment briefs.
He is remembered by many for getting into a scuffle with a protester who threw an egg at him during the 2001 general election campaign.
Lord Prescott's widow Pauline and his sons David and Johnathan said they had invited more than 300 family, friends and colleagues to the funeral to "pay their respects to a man who played a pivotal role in shaping modern British politics".
Choral-Hull, a choir made up of children from across the city, will sing at the service.
"To hear so many wonderful tributes from people who knew John has been a great source of comfort to us as we dealt with our grief," the family statement said.
"We hope the service will be an opportunity to celebrate his life and his love of Hull and its people."
Hull City Council said a number of roads would be closed on the day, between 08:30 and 16:00 GMT.
These include Lowgate, Market Place, North Church Side, South Church Side, Vicar Lane, Dagger Lane, King Street, Posterngate, Fish Street, Prince Street, Trinity House Lane, Silver Street, Scale Lane and Liberty Lane.
There is due to be a further closure of Lowgate on Wednesday between 20:00 and 00:00 GMT to allow the installation of traffic management measures.
The road will also be closed on Thursday between 20:00 and 00:00 GMT so the restrictions can be removed.
Parking restrictions will be in place along South Church Side, North Church Side and Lowgate from 06:00 GMT on Wednesday until 16:00 GMT on Thursday. Any vehicles left in the area will be removed.
In lieu of flowers, the Prescott family has requested donations for Alzheimer's Research UK.

In Labour's hands, British manufacturing never stood a chance
The delay of the UK's long-awaited industrial strategy should hardly come as a shock. This country's approach to such matters has long been confused. At times, it has been utterly non-existent. Industrial policy was so muddled during the twilight years of a dying Tory government, that it often seemed like ministers were making it up as they went along. Knee-jerk responses to major crises – such as the one that saw Sheffield Forgemasters nationalised when someone in Whitehall suddenly realised the £40bn programme to build the Royal Navy's next-generation nuclear missile submarines was in jeopardy –became the norm in the absence of any joined-up thinking. The decision of Boris Johnson to scrap the industrial strategy council and replace it with the 'Build Back Better council' – one of many utterly hollow slogans the Tories desperately dreamed up as their popularity collapsed – seemed like the moment that the UK threw in the towel on any pretence of a clear industrial plan. Remarkably, the situation has deteriorated even further under this Labour Government. Rather than 'reigniting Britain's industrial heartlands' as Keir Starmer claimed on the basis of very little, shortly after taking power, the current Cabinet is in danger of presiding over the complete disappearance of UK manufacturing. In the hands of clueless Labour ministers obsessed by net zero and entirely arbitrary green targets, swathes of the industrial base are vanishing before our eyes, and there is no plan to stop it. The consequences for entire towns built on factory production, and surrounding communities, will be utterly devastating. Since Labour won the general election, the list of major manufacturers that have raised the white flag has ballooned into a who's who of UK industry. Port Talbot's blast furnaces have closed, threatening the very existence of that region's biggest employer. At British Steel, the situation is even more alarming – its vast Lincolnshire steelworks is now controlled by the Government, forced to step in after years of neglect by Chinese owners, yet with no discernible sign that the site has a viable future. The closure of Grangemouth, Scotland's only remaining oil refinery, in the coming weeks, is in danger of being missed altogether – except of course by the hundreds of people employed there. True, owner Ineos has a reputation for ruthless cost-cutting across its empire, but billionaire owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has warned repeatedly of the existential crisis facing the chemicals industry as a result of what he describes as 'decarbonising by de-industrialisation'. Others that failed to grab the same headlines, but whose loss to the nation's output will be no less severe, include the Olefins 'cracker' facility in Teesside. A feature of the local skyline for half a century, it reportedly stands on the brink of closure after its Saudi Arabian owners halted a multimillion-pound upgrade. The future of the North Sea, cement, glass, paper, ceramics and other so-called foundational industries are all similarly bleak – the result of long-term neglect, complacency, short-term politics, and confused decision-making. The idea that salvation lies in Britain's unquestioning embrace of all things net zero is the great lie of this century. Ed Miliband's 'green jobs' promise is a fantasy. Where employment is being created by clean energy projects, many thousands more are being destroyed on the altar of his fanaticism as companies buckle under the exorbitant costs of the transition. But it's not just the renewables revolution that is at fault, the UK's energy policy has long been a complete catastrophe. Time and again, sky-high energy costs are being blamed for crushing the life out of heavy industry as production lines are shut down or entire factory complexes mothballed altogether. The shadow of the green levy monster looms large but factory bosses also blame surging gas prices for the destruction. Throw excessive network charges into the mix and British companies are grappling with the most punishing energy bills in the world, leading to an extraordinary collapse in output. The figures, published in The Telegraph last weekend, are truly astonishing. In the UK, industrial electricity costs have shot up by three quarters in three years and industrial gas prices have more than doubled. Meanwhile, the output of energy-intensive industries has tumbled by a third. It is the equivalent of having not one, but both hands fastened behind the back and your shoelaces tied together. Faced with energy bills five times greater than their US counterparts and three times higher than European rivals, British industry stands little chance of competing globally. It is therefore impossible to overstate how much there is riding on the industrial strategy this time around. Recent history from both sides of the political divide suggests there is little reason to be hopeful given the number of unconvincing iterations of industrial policy that have come before. Yet the overwhelming message from UK manufacturers is that energy costs are a tangible problem that can be addressed. The blizzard of Government-imposed green levies and taxes that companies must contend with, such as the climate change levy, renewables obligation, feed-in tariffs, alone leaves plenty of room for meaningful action. The bold move would be to bring forward a planned tax on carbon intensive goods imports of cement, fertiliser, aluminium, iron and steel set for 2027, at the same time as expanding it to other key sectors such as glass and ceramics. Fears that the tariff will push up prices for consumers cannot be overlooked but, at the same time, a policy of penalising domestic producers while goods pour in from countries that continue to pollute at will seems like self-harm on a grand scale. There are encouraging signs that this Government is actually listening for once. Rachel Reeves told an audience at the annual CBI dinner last week: 'We know that one of the questions is how we make energy more affordable, especially for … intensive energy-using businesses where the price compared with other countries … is just too acute.' But the time for talking is clearly over. The crisis in manufacturing means Britain's industrialists will no longer stand for ministers trying to fob them off with easy soundbites.

Israel set to deport Greta Thunberg, other activists, ministry says
JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Greta Thunberg and other pro-Palestinian activists have been taken to Tel Aviv airport ahead of their deportation, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, after the Israeli navy prevented them from sailing to Gaza. Israeli forces boarded the charity vessel as it neared Gaza early on Monday, trying to break through a years-old naval blockade of the coastal enclave, and seized the 12-strong crew, including Swedish campaigner Thunberg. The British-flagged yacht was taken to the Israeli port of Ashdod and the foreign ministry said the activists were transferred overnight to Ben Gurion airport. "Some of the 'Selfie Yacht' passengers are expected to leave within the next few hours," the ministry said in a statement. "Those who refuse to sign deportation documents and leave Israel will be brought before a judicial authority, in accordance with Israeli law, to authorize their deportation." Consular representatives from the passengers' home countries met them at the airport, it added. The activists had been carrying a small cargo of humanitarian aid, including rice and baby formula, and said they wanted to raise international awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has been devastated by months of war. Israel dismissed the voyage as a pro-Hamas publicity stunt. 'The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the 'celebrities' will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels,' the Foreign Ministry said. Thunberg accused Israel of kidnapping her in international waters. "I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible," she said in a video that was recorded ahead of the Israeli navy action. U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed Thunberg's claim of being kidnapped. 'I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg,' he said. 'She's a young, angry person ... I think she has to go to an anger management class.' Israel has imposed a naval blockade on the coastal enclave since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, saying it aims to stop weapons from reaching Hamas. The blockade has remained in place through conflicts including the war, which began when Hamas-led militants rampaged through southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing more than 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, by Israeli tallies. Israel's retaliatory offensive against Hamas has since killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, according to health officials in Hamas-run Gaza, and destroyed most of the homes of its 2.3 million residents.

Reeves says nuclear investment shows UK ‘back where it belongs'
Rachel Reeves has committed £16.7 billion to nuclear power projects as the country shifts away from fossil fuels. The Chancellor has signed off on £14.2 billion of investment to build the new Sizewell C nuclear plant in Suffolk, while Rolls-Royce has been named as the preferred bidder to build small modular reactors (SMRs) in a programme backed by £2.5 billion of taxpayers' cash. Ms Reeves will use Wednesday's spending review to allocate tens of billions of funding for major infrastructure projects over the rest of the decade. Officials hope SMRs will be cheaper and quicker to build than traditional power plants, and projects could be connected to the grid by the mid-2030s. Ms Reeves said: 'The UK is back where it belongs, taking the lead in the technologies of tomorrow with Rolls-Royce SMR as the preferred partner for this journey.' The SMR project could support up to 3,000 new skilled jobs and power the equivalent of around three million homes, with a first site expected to be allocated later this year by state-owned Great British Energy – Nuclear. Tuesday's announcement of Rolls-Royce as the preferred bidder came after the Government confirmed financial support for Sizewell C. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said new nuclear power capacity was needed to deliver a 'golden age of clean energy abundance'. Trade unions welcomed the Sizewell move, which the Treasury said would go towards creating 10,000 jobs, including 1,500 apprenticeships. But the head of a campaign group opposing the plant criticised the decision to commit the funding, saying it is still not clear what the total cost will be. Nuclear plants are seen as increasingly important electricity sources as the Government tries to decarbonise Britain's grid by 2030, replacing fossil fuels with green power. The last time Britain completed one was in 1987, which was the Sizewell B plant. Hinkley Point C, in Somerset, is under construction and is expected to produce enough power for about six million homes when it opens, but that may not be until 2031. The Energy Secretary said: 'We need new nuclear to deliver a golden age of clean energy abundance, because that is the only way to protect family finances, take back control of our energy, and tackle the climate crisis. 'This is the Government's clean energy mission in action – investing in lower bills and good jobs for energy security.' It will get the UK off the 'fossil fuel rollercoaster', he separately told The Guardian. 'We know that we're going to have to see electricity demand at least double by 2050. All the expert advice says nuclear has a really important role to play in the energy system. 'In any sensible reckoning, this is essential to get to our clean power and net zero ambitions.' The joint managing directors of Sizewell C, Julia Pyke and Nigel Cann, said: 'Today marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Sizewell C, the UK's first British-owned nuclear power plant in over 30 years.' At the peak of construction, Sizewell C is expected to provide 10,000 jobs and the company behind the project has already signed £330 million worth of contracts with local businesses. The plant, which will power the equivalent of six million homes, is planned to be operational in the 2030s. The GMB union said giving Sizewell C the go-ahead was 'momentous'. Regional Secretary Warren Kenny said: 'Nuclear power is essential for clean, affordable, and reliable energy – without new nuclear, there can be no net zero. 'Sizewell C will provide thousands of good, skilled, unionised jobs and we look forward to working closely with the Government and Sizewell C to help secure a greener future for this country's energy sector.' Alison Downes, of Stop Sizewell C, said ministers had not 'come clean' about the full cost of the project, which the group have previously estimated could be some £40 billion. She said: 'Where is the benefit for voters in ploughing more money into Sizewell C that could be spent on other priorities, and when the project will add to consumer bills and is guaranteed to be late and overspent just like Hinkley C?' The Government has also promised £2.5 billion over five years for fusion energy research and £6 billion of investment for the industrial base supporting the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine fleet.
