  3. Lincolnshire brewery in 'Yellow Belly' branding rowpublished at 11:48 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2018

    Lincolnshire-based brewery Batemans says the name of a beer promoting anti-racism which is made by another company is too similar to one it produces and is taking legal action.

    Yellow Belly Beers

    Yellow Belly, an 11% stout brewed by Buxton Brewery and Omnipollo from Sweden, was intended to lampoon the Ku Klux Klan.

    But for the past 20 years, Batemans have been producing a 3.9% amber ale called Yella Belly.

    Geoff Quinn, owner of Buxton Brewery, said it was "a shame" to discontinue the beer, but said it wanted to avoid "legal wrangles which wouldn't really benefit anyone".

    The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) is reviewing the case.

    A spokesman for the EUIPO said it could not comment on individual cases, and a final decision has not yet been reached in this case.

  6. MPs make call for National Flood Centrepublished at 08:00 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2018

    Scunthorpe MP Nic Dakin and Cleethorpe's Martin Vickers say 400,000 people in the Humber region are at risk of being flooded, and the area is the best location for such a centre.

    Mr Dakin says: "A national flood resilience centre would bring all the expertise and science together which would ensure we do everything we can when floods happen."

    In 2013 Hull's flood defences were overtopped after water levels in the estuary peaked to the highest ever seen, following a tidal surge.

    Nic Dakin and Martin Vickers are holding a meeting with ministers today.
