0:00:02 > 0:00:06From the Highlands of Scotland to the coast of Cornwall
0:00:06 > 0:00:09the Great British countryside is spectacular...
0:00:11 > 0:00:14..but we work and play in it at our peril...
0:00:17 > 0:00:19..and when things go wrong,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22the emergency services race to the rescue...
0:00:22 > 0:00:23This chap is having a heart attack.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I'm going to need to get him in quickly.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29We've got a cow on the road.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Countryside policing at its finest here(!)
0:00:32 > 0:00:34..going hundreds of miles against the clock...
0:00:36 > 0:00:38..battling the elements and braving the waves.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42HE SCREAMS
0:00:42 > 0:00:47From the Welsh valleys to winding country roads,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50we'll be right at the heart of the action,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53with police fighting crime...
0:00:53 > 0:00:55I'm not arguing it, I'm reporting you for it.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59..paramedics saving lives...
0:00:59 > 0:01:00BABY CRIES
0:01:00 > 0:01:03..and lifeguards patrolling the seas.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We're there as the emergency services pull together to
0:01:07 > 0:01:11pick up, patch up and protect the public.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15This is Countryside 999.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Coming up,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38countryside cops get up close and personal at a music festival...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- I've also got a van that can conduct a strip search, OK?- Yes.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42So I'll be looking down your pants.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45..the Royal Navy helicopter searches for kids
0:01:45 > 0:01:47stranded in the Scottish seas...
0:01:47 > 0:01:52- RADIO:- 'We have children in the water at Troon.'
0:01:52 > 0:01:53..and school's out in Cornwall
0:01:53 > 0:01:57as medics brace themselves for another summer break.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01If ten was the worst pain possible and one was no pain at all,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03how painful is it?
0:02:03 > 0:02:04- Ten.- A ten.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19The Great British countryside,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23where many of us head to get away from it all.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26But not all of us wants to escape the crowds.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30For a growing number, summer in the country means just one thing -
0:02:30 > 0:02:32festival time.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39But the invasion of revellers can be a huge challenge
0:02:39 > 0:02:41for our rural emergency services.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47It's summer in Wales
0:02:47 > 0:02:49and the small town of Crickhowell is gearing up
0:02:49 > 0:02:51for its annual Green Man Festival.
0:02:53 > 0:02:5515,000 people are due to gather
0:02:55 > 0:02:59for a weekend of music, art, theatre and fireworks.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07It's a popular event with a family friendly reputation
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and it's Sergeant Owen Dillon's job to make sure it stays that way.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I'm just coming up to 18 years in the force.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I've seen urban policing, I've been involved in that but the fantastic
0:03:18 > 0:03:22thing about here is, first of all, our involvement with the community.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24We are very much part of the community
0:03:24 > 0:03:28when we're rural police officers, and I love the variety.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32I could be dealing with mountain rescue one minute, I could deal with
0:03:32 > 0:03:35an issue in the river, I could deal with military training.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I could go in and come to work
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and deal with something completely different every day.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43The festival kicks off in two days' time and
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Owen is on his way to meet the organisers.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51What I find most satisfying now is working with, you know, people
0:03:51 > 0:03:54like the Green Man, working with the organisers,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57the security people, the council and all the different agencies
0:03:57 > 0:04:01all sort of pulling together and putting on a good event.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Joining Owen for a tour of the site is his boss, Inspector Matt Scrase.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Fiona Stewart is the event organiser and her careful planning has
0:04:14 > 0:04:17helped turn the festival into a well-oiled machine.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24But it won't be the only well-oiled thing this weekend.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Matt checks there's a sensible alcohol policy in place.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32That over there is some of the bars.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35There's a rum shack and on the other side is a general bar
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- on that side as well. - Selling to intoxicated persons -
0:04:39 > 0:04:42you're quite happy that everybody is fully briefed on that
0:04:42 > 0:04:43if there are...
0:04:43 > 0:04:49Every single bar has a qualified licensee there individually.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52But it's not just folk inside the grounds the teams have to
0:04:52 > 0:04:53look out for.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Gate crashers can be a problem and they'll do anything to sneak in.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Three, maybe four years ago,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04we had an issue with people trying to swim across and get over the fence.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05A guy got in the river, got lost
0:05:05 > 0:05:08when he was intoxicated, so it was nothing to do with the event
0:05:08 > 0:05:10but there was a few learning points from there.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13So what's happening now is the security guards are all carrying
0:05:13 > 0:05:15throw lines for us so if there's any issues on the river,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18they've actually got a sort of first response for us.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Crowd safety is a big priority, especially as this year
0:05:23 > 0:05:26they're expecting a bumper turnout.
0:05:27 > 0:05:3015,000 people coming plus then the people already here.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36- 22,000 for the site.- Yeah.- We've got about 4,000 workers and staff.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39If you add it to Crickhowell and Llangynidr
0:05:39 > 0:05:40and all of a sudden the population...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- You got a big area and a lot of people in.- Yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Owen's masterminded the police presence here
0:05:48 > 0:05:51for the last four years.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54There's no sort of extra costing as such with the policing
0:05:54 > 0:05:57because all I've done is tweaked a few of the local shifts
0:05:57 > 0:06:01and then we've covered it from the existing staffing.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09The festival highlight is a massive 8m high Green Man that took
0:06:09 > 0:06:11a team of 12 nine days to build.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16And to celebrate the achievement, they're going to burn him down.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- This... This is burnt. Is it about midnight you do it, Fiona?- Yeah.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Yeah. On Sunday, at midnight, this is effectively
0:06:23 > 0:06:25the closing of the festival.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27All that work goes up in flames.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Matt can't resist taking a closer look.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Very impressive.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Have you seen The Wicker Man, sir? - Yeah, I have.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43LAUGHTER
0:06:46 > 0:06:49It's probably the best one we've seen, that one. It's good.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It seems such a shame to burn it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56As far as the police are concerned, it's so far, so good.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I'm very positive. I've been involved in a number.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04This is the fourth one I've supervised as a sergeant running it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05I see the improvement every year
0:07:05 > 0:07:10and I'm confident this is a very professionally run event
0:07:10 > 0:07:13and we can just sort of stay in the background and support them.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It might be hunky-dory inside...
0:07:17 > 0:07:21..but later, outside the event, it's about to get a little less friendly.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24You've put something down there, haven't you? Just keep your hand...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26No, keep your hand still.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42The countryside is a place of escape and adventure...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47..a giant playground for kids to explore...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51..where summer holidays seem to last forever...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55..as long as no-one gets hurt.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00The Urgent Care Centre in Penzance is specially geared up to
0:08:00 > 0:08:04deal with all the minor mishaps that summer holidays bring.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08And as the bucket and spade brigade arrive
0:08:08 > 0:08:12in their thousands, August is a busy time for bumps and scrapes.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18On shift today is emergency nurse practitioner Louise Silver.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23A young holiday-maker has just arrived.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26He's fallen off a swing and badly damaged his arm.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Oh, sweetheart.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Oh, come on in. What have you done to yourself?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Let's have a little look at you in here. I'm Louise. What's your name?
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- Angus.- Angus. Oh, right, OK. Come on in, Mam. Come and take a seat.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45- Thank you very much.- So, what have you done to yourself, Angus?- Um...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Oh, yes. All right, my darling.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08The first thing I'm going to do, I'm going
0:09:08 > 0:09:12to weigh you so we can give some really good painkillers, all right?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I'll just go and get that...
0:09:14 > 0:09:17What we do is we use intranasal diamorphine for children
0:09:17 > 0:09:20who are in a lot of pain and it's really good
0:09:20 > 0:09:23because it means we can give them
0:09:23 > 0:09:28diamorphine into the nose instead of having an injection
0:09:28 > 0:09:33and it works really, really well and within a few minutes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37But the first thing we need to do is weigh...weigh Angus.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Louise will use Angus's weight
0:09:40 > 0:09:42to work out how much painkiller he needs.
0:09:42 > 0:09:4633kg. That's great. Well done, my darling.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Are you on holiday or do you live down here?
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Summer holiday.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52You're on your summer holiday?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Eight-year-old Angus and his family were camping 25 miles
0:09:55 > 0:10:00away on the remote Lizard Peninsula when disaster struck.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- So it's your elbow, isn't it, really?- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Right, silly question but, if ten was the worst pain
0:10:07 > 0:10:13- possible and one was no pain at all, how painful is it?- Ten.- A ten.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16All right. Let's get you some pain relief.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Are you going to give me an injection?
0:10:18 > 0:10:23This won't be an injection. It's little drops we put into your nose.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24All right, my darling.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Are you all right? And he's normally fit and well, is he?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It's tough on mum Helen, too.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32We'll get it sorted.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35There's nothing that can't be fixed. All right?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44All right? That'll help.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Louise briefs Dr Neil Davidson,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48who'll take a closer look at Angus's arm.
0:10:48 > 0:10:55So, he was 33kg so I gave him 3.5 of diamorphine.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56HE CRIES
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Hello. I'm Dr Davidson. - Hello.- What's happened?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I presume he's just jumped off the swing
0:11:06 > 0:11:08and slipped and caught his arm.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10He came running over with it saying, "I've broken it
0:11:10 > 0:11:12"because I heard it go crack." It's been quite a journey.
0:11:12 > 0:11:19- Can you show me where it's most sore. Is it just here?- No.- Up here?
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- No, right on the joint of the elbow. - Right on the elbow. OK.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Can I just look at your other elbow just to see? OK.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- Once you're more comfortable, we'll send you down for an X-ray, OK?- OK.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I'm sure he's fractured his elbow.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39'I'm also a little bit worried about below the elbow cos there's
0:11:39 > 0:11:43'clearly swelling in the upper forearm as well and he's very tender'
0:11:43 > 0:11:45there so we need to get it X-rayed
0:11:45 > 0:11:48but we need to get his pain relief sorted first. We can't send him down
0:11:48 > 0:11:51to the X-ray department screaming like that, poor little chap.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Angus is still in a lot of pain
0:11:54 > 0:11:58and he's worried his injury might knock his future plans for six.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Oh, Angus. You've got years and years ahead of you, OK?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12He wants to be a professional cricketer.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15He's worried that this will affect his chances.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18What would you want to do if you can't be a cricketer?
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Oh, Steve Backshall. Deadly 60. He wants to be an adventurer.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28He is doing well at the moment, aren't you?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Getting into enough scrapes for an adventurer.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35The budding adventurer is being very brave
0:12:35 > 0:12:38but the painkillers don't seem to be helping.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Mummy.- Yeah?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Ow.- I can't do anything more for you, OK?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The doctor's just waiting to get you into X-ray.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54It should start very soon.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Is that any better at all? - Not a lot.- Not a lot.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59We're probably getting
0:12:59 > 0:13:02fairly close to the point where he needs a bit more.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06It hasn't had much effect, has it? Unfortunately. It's unusual.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10It's been nearly two hours since Angus had his accident.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13He urgently needs an X-ray to see just how bad his arm is.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18But the team can't move them until they get on top of his pain.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Back in Wales,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Dyfed-Powys Police are gearing up for the four-day Green Man Festival.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Earlier, Sergeant Owen Dillon
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and Inspector Mark Scrase had a little taste of what to expect.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Have you seen The Wicker Man, sir?- Yeah.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50LAUGHTER
0:13:50 > 0:13:53With thousands of revellers due to descend,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56it's time to get Operation Martian under way.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58That's Martian as in little green man.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's an important event, as you know. This is a family event.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04There will be a lot of people,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06respectable people, that will be turning up.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09We want everybody to enjoy it in the safest possible way.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And safe means legal.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Today, Owen and the team will be carrying out
0:14:16 > 0:14:18stop and search on the roads around the festival.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21We don't want it to become a drugs festival, all right?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The event management security work very hard to make sure
0:14:24 > 0:14:25it isn't a drugs fest.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Spread the message that we don't want drugs coming here.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30If you've got grounds then we go for a search
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and what I want you to be doing is looking at physical characteristics.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36The eyes, pinpointed, dilated pupils, skin pallor,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I want you to be looking at that sort of thing.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Looking at nervous and furtive behaviour, looking for paraphernalia.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44OK, then, everyone? Happy with that?
0:14:47 > 0:14:52We are on our way now to run a stop search operation for people
0:14:52 > 0:14:54coming into the area.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Today, the majority of the people arrive
0:14:57 > 0:15:00so, numbers-wise, it will be a busy day.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03The reports I'm getting in from people is it's damn hard to find
0:15:03 > 0:15:05drugs in the event, which is brilliant
0:15:05 > 0:15:10and it shows that, between us running this and the security staff
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and the ethos of the event, there isn't many drug dealers.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18But just in case they do find anything dodgy,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Owen's well-prepared.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25I've got two dog handlers and they've got drugs dogs and then I've got four
0:15:25 > 0:15:31traffic officers and they're all sort of particularly gifted in searching
0:15:31 > 0:15:36and very knowledgeable on searching for and identifying controlled drugs.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40There's only one thing missing.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Right, what we need now is some people.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Cue the campers.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Is there anything in the vehicle that shouldn't be. No?
0:15:56 > 0:15:57You're welcome to search.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00So you've got tickets to go and you've got tickets
0:16:00 > 0:16:03and you're just dropping them off. I won't hold you up any longer.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- OK, thank you. - You continue your journey.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's not long before Owen clocks some suspicious behaviour.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19The guy's fiddling on the right-hand side.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25PC Gareth Earp is on the case.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Is there anything in the vehicle that shouldn't be?- Nothing at all.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Nothing at all? OK. When we saw you, when you saw us,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33you started fiddling around on your right-hand side.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36You just see a bit nervous to me at the moment, that's all.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40You've gone a bit pale. It was chewing gum, was it? OK.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41I'm going to search you and the vehicle.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44If you've got something you shouldn't and you hand it to us now
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and save us the hassle, we'll try our best to deal with it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49You've put something down there. Just keep your hand...
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- No, keep your hands still.- I was going to give him what he wanted.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Yeah, yeah, but slowly for me, all right? Thank you.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01You were giving all the signals. You've gone very pale. What is it?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- They're pills. - If you come with me, mate, then.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Just come and sit in the van.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15That's the classic, what we are trained to look for.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17As soon as the guy came in, the two of us
0:17:17 > 0:17:20spotted straightaway the sudden furtive movement with the right hand
0:17:20 > 0:17:22and as soon as we're talking to him he's shaking physically,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25worried about the fact we was talking to him and lo and behold
0:17:25 > 0:17:29he's got drugs so, you know, it's classic for what we're looking for.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33And the dog makes sure there's no more stashed away.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Meanwhile, PC Dai Morgan pulls over a van.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42The driver comes clean straightaway.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43What have you got?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- I've got a couple of wraps here. - What's in it?- Ecstasy.- Ecstasy.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- Ecstasy.- OK. Right. Oh, right, OK.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54What's going to happen now is my colleague will do
0:17:54 > 0:17:57a check on the computer for the police national computer.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58It depends who you are,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01you know, what your previous convictions and history is
0:18:01 > 0:18:03and also if we can confirm who you are then what'll happen is
0:18:03 > 0:18:06you're obviously going to have to be dealt with.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08We can either deal with it today but I'd rather let you go to
0:18:08 > 0:18:11the event and we'll deal with you by being street bailed.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- That's MDMA crystals, is it? - MDMA, is it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Yeah, ecstasy tablets as well. Cool.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Is there anything else in the vehicle? We'll put a dog through.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20If there's anything else, you may as well hand it over.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Looks like there's more.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23All right, OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25We can deal with that by way of a cannabis warning
0:18:25 > 0:18:28but then obviously, the ecstasy, you'll have to come in. All right?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30If you go with my colleague, then,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32to the van, we'll sort everything out there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39He said he was willing to provide a search for me so I took him
0:18:39 > 0:18:43round the back of the vehicle, I've gone through his pockets,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I've taken his leather wallet out
0:18:46 > 0:18:50and basically then I found a couple of wraps of folded paper.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52This is what I found in his wallet.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I've asked the gentleman what they are and he informed me
0:18:55 > 0:18:57then that they were ecstasy.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01That's Class A so we couldn't deal with him by way of a street caution
0:19:01 > 0:19:05as we can for cannabis so what I've done now, I've street bailed him.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I've formally arrested him, street bailed him,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11taken all his details and he's been bailed back now to Brecon
0:19:11 > 0:19:13police station, Saturday afternoon.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18The driver will still get to enjoy the festival
0:19:18 > 0:19:20but he's not off the hook.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23The least he'll get away with is a formal caution.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27So, a busy morning for the bobbies
0:19:27 > 0:19:31and, with queues building, it's about to get even more hectic.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Later, it's more stop and searches in South Wales...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Do you have anything in the car -
0:19:45 > 0:19:48the love bus - that you shouldn't have?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49HE WAILS
0:19:49 > 0:19:52..tough cookie Angus faces his fears...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56People say a lot worse, you know.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01..but first, search and rescue race to two girls trapped on rocks
0:20:01 > 0:20:03and in danger of drowning.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Scotland - over 6,000 miles of rugged coastline.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Its West Coast is some of the most windswept and beautiful,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31buffeted by Atlantic rollers and fast-changing weather fronts.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Stunning beaches, but dangerous seas.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43It's also home to Britain's busiest search and rescue helicopter -
0:20:43 > 0:20:45HMS Gannet.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Flying from Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire, the Royal Navy team
0:20:50 > 0:20:53cover the wildest parts of Scotland and Northern England.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59But you don't rescue over 200 people a year without practising.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Today, the crew are carrying out some routine checks.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11On shift, navigator Rob Suckling and paramedic Dave Rigg.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28They're barely airborne when an emergency call comes through.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- RADIO:- '177 Kinloss Rescue...'
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Two children are trapped on rocks in open sea off Troon.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45It's a red alert situation.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56With young lives at risk, there's no time to lose.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Thankfully, the team don't have to fly far,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03just seven miles north to the beach between Troon and Irvine.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39A bad situation has just got worse.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It seems more people could be trapped
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and there's confusion over their whereabouts.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Dave opens the door to get a better look at the beach.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Still no sign of the children.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17It may be the height of summer
0:23:17 > 0:23:20but August is a dangerous month for swimmers -
0:23:20 > 0:23:22the second highest for fatalities.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34They're worried they're heading the wrong way.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07It sounds like the two girls may have made it ashore but
0:24:07 > 0:24:11the crew need to make a U-turn to check there's no-one else trapped
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and there's a worrying update on the children's condition.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27The girls are now with local coastguards
0:24:27 > 0:24:30but paramedic Dave's concerned about their injuries.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55With the ambulance still on its way there,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Rob and Dave are the nearest paramedics to the scene.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- RADIO:- 'Belfast Ardrossan five, again it looks like he has actually
0:25:02 > 0:25:04'landed on the beach at this time, over.'
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You deal with it, I'll just bring the kit.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Dave grabs his first response bag and rushes to help.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15He doesn't yet know what state the girls are in.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Back in Cornwall, emergency nurse Louise
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and the team at the Urgent Care Centre have been desperately
0:25:30 > 0:25:33trying to ease eight-year-old Angus's pain.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39I don't know, young man. Holidays are meant to be fun, aren't they?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Angus has a suspected fractured arm.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47He needs an X-ray to confirm this but they can't move him
0:25:47 > 0:25:50until they've got his pain under control.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51We need to get him settled down.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We're going to give him some, what they call gas and air, Entonox,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57first cos that'll work straightaway
0:25:57 > 0:26:00and then we'll give him... put a little cannula into a vein
0:26:00 > 0:26:03in his right arm and we'll give him a dose of morphine.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08But poor Angus isn't a fan of needles.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Does it hurt?
0:26:09 > 0:26:14All needles hurt a little bit, OK? So I won't lie. It will hurt a bit.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17But once we give you the painkiller through that injection,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19you'll be glad we did it.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Now, I know it's tempting to wiggle
0:26:22 > 0:26:24but I need you to keep really still for us.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27OK? Good lad.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- DR DAVIDSON:- OK, very brave, little scratch.- Ow.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- HELEN:- Trying not to what, sorry? - You can say, "Ow."
0:26:36 > 0:26:38People say a lot worse, you know.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44It's been an agonisingly long morning for Angus and mum Helen.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54We came from the Lizard,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57which is obviously almost as far as you can go.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59We probably left about quarter past 11.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02It was certainly an hour before we got here.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05He just likes being the highest on the swing
0:27:05 > 0:27:07and the fastest on the bike and...
0:27:09 > 0:27:11..good swimmer and all the rest of it.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- Right. Do you want a cup of tea? - Thanks very much.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You're not having a very good week on your holiday.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Cup of tea solves everything.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Finally, Angus is taken for his X-ray.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Good boy. You're doing fantastic.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42The morphine has taken the edge off the pain but it's still a struggle.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45No. No more!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48The results come back and it's not good.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- DR DAVIDSON:- Ouch.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54So, he's got a double fracture at his elbow.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56That's why it was so painful for him.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00And this bit here shouldn't be sitting like that.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03His elbow, instead of stopping there, as mine does,
0:28:03 > 0:28:08it's gone back further and two bits have broken off,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11which was the loud crack he heard, poor chap.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Neil phones the orthopaedic department at Truro for advice.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Hello. Dr Davidson.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22This is a young man who was playing on a swing, fell off the swing and
0:28:22 > 0:28:25hyperextended his elbow, heard a loud crack,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28has been in a lot of pain. He's eight.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31The doctor's just going to have a look at your X-rays
0:28:31 > 0:28:33and then we'll come and let you know what the verdict is.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- DR DAVIDSON:- 'OK, thank you.'
0:28:36 > 0:28:39What they'd like us to do is to put him into a back slab.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41That's a plaster that sort of goes right down the outside of
0:28:41 > 0:28:44the arm and along the forearm.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48The specialists in Truro think his forearm might be dislocated.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Right, what we can see are two fractures.- OK.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- He's broken it in two places, definitely.- Right.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01And he's obviously got a fracture
0:29:01 > 0:29:04on the end of the bigger bone in the forearm.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- You did a good job then. - Well, not good.- No, no.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Angus will have to go to Truro to get his arm reset.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- Are you going to do the plaster? - We're going to plaster now.- OK.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24We are going to be as gentle as we can
0:29:24 > 0:29:26but we have got to get on and do it, all right?
0:29:26 > 0:29:30And I tell you, once this is on, it will feel a lot better.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33The half plaster is only temporary.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35So, this is half a plaster.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39If we put on a full plaster, it wouldn't accommodate for any
0:29:39 > 0:29:43swelling and it and it would become too tight around his arm.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47How long do I have to keep it on for?
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Well, my darling, the usual rule is, for a broken bone,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54about four to six weeks, really.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56You won't have this one on for four to six weeks,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59you'll have a much lighter plaster on after this one.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08What they need to do is a little anaesthetic so you go to sleep
0:30:08 > 0:30:11and then they'll tweak it a little bit, move it around
0:30:11 > 0:30:13until they are happy with the position
0:30:13 > 0:30:16and then replaster it and wake you up.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19All right? You won't know anything about it.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21There we go. All right?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24It's another road trip for Helen and Angus.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- How are you feeling, young man? - Erm, better.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32You're 100 per cent better than when you came in.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Gosh! Couldn't get much worse!
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Could you?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Angus, let's get these on.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I need to get you out to the car.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46As they are not an ambulance priority, Helen decides
0:30:46 > 0:30:49the best option is to drive the 30 miles to Truro.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54More adventures for budding explorer Angus.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56But probably not the ones he's hoped for.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Yeah.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02My arm still really, really hurts.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I've got three breaks in my arm.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09I'm changing hospital to be put to sleep
0:31:09 > 0:31:13and have my arm moved around a bit.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18And it's a summer break that Mum won't forget in a hurry either.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- Thanks very much.- You're welcome. I hope your next holiday
0:31:21 > 0:31:23is more successful.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I think we're going to go home tomorrow!
0:31:25 > 0:31:26THEY LAUGH
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- I don't think I can take much more. Thanks very much. Bye.- Bye.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Back in Wales, the crowds are arriving for the Green Man Festival.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Can you pop in there, please?
0:31:52 > 0:31:56The police have had a busy morning carrying out
0:31:56 > 0:31:58stop and searches on the surrounding roads.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Scores on the door.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02One street bail for a class A,
0:32:02 > 0:32:06four cannabis warnings
0:32:06 > 0:32:08and one P and D for cannabis.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11We've got about seven seizures so far.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13All for minor possession of cannabis,
0:32:13 > 0:32:17MDMA and ecstasy.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18So we are finding...
0:32:18 > 0:32:23Nothing big, just small personal amounts for the event.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27But the majority of festivalgoers are law-abiding...
0:32:29 > 0:32:32..choosing to get their kicks in other ways.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Standard question everybody gets asked.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Do you have anything in the car - the Love Bus -
0:32:37 > 0:32:40that you shouldn't have?
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- Apart from some random performance props.- Nothing wrong with that!
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Have you got anything you shouldn't have?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49PASSING CAR DROWNS SPEECH
0:32:49 > 0:32:53We're doing a cowboy act in there!
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- A plastic pistol...- Are you Calamity Jane?
0:32:56 > 0:33:00We are doing a West Country, Wild West, Wall of Shame, which involves
0:33:00 > 0:33:05taking photos of people, moustaching them up and making them look silly.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- No drugs or anything?- I've got my painkillers, my paracetamol.
0:33:08 > 0:33:14- That's it.- Nothing illegal?- No. - I've got sore throat tablets.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- I'll leave you to it. Enjoy your weekend.- Thank you very much.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Enjoying the rest of it. - Try not to shoot anyone.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21INDISTINCT
0:33:23 > 0:33:25With the crowds building,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Owen and the team work quickly to get through
0:33:27 > 0:33:29as many cars as possible.
0:33:29 > 0:33:35- Smell the purse.- Yeah. Ooh! Whose purse is this? Is this yours?
0:33:37 > 0:33:42- Some come clean straightaway.- We found herbal cannabis and a joint.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46A person has just given us brownies made with cannabis.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49While others need a bit of gentle persuasion.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52I've also got a van, I can conduct a strip search, OK?
0:33:52 > 0:33:53I'll be looking down your pants.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Meanwhile, PC Leighton Phillips has sniffed out
0:34:01 > 0:34:03another suspicious stash.
0:34:04 > 0:34:11- There's a bit of MDMA.- A gram of MDMA.- And two pills.- And two pills.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Shamed Matt into buying them!
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Can you recover yours for me, please, sir?
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Is this all we're going to find in this vehicle? BOTH:- Yeah.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- I'm not going to find anything else in here at all? BOTH:- No.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- It should be down here somewhere. - It's better you recover it
0:34:29 > 0:34:32than the dog because the dog will ruin it.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Anything?
0:34:33 > 0:34:38I've got one with possession of MDMA and some pills. Ecstasy.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42And I got this gentleman with some weed, some pills and some MDMA.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Where are you both from?- Cardiff.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Have you got your driving licences with you?- Yeah.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- Both of you?- Yes.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- Thank you.- Five pills and a gram of MDMA.- And a bit of weed.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55INDISTINCT
0:34:55 > 0:34:58I'm a man of my word. You can go and enjoy your event.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01I won't take you into custody or arrest you now.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05I've told you I won't and I won't.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Within the next week or so I'll need you to come back to Brecon
0:35:10 > 0:35:11to speak to me in relation to this matter.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12All right?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17The lads didn't want to 'fess up at first.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21But Leighton has a bit of a nose for the job.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25That's for you. Your copy.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27They were quite reluctant to start but you can tell by
0:35:27 > 0:35:30sort of non-verbal communication with those people if they are lying.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33I'm quite good at spotting it.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36I sensed they were lying to me and then they give up the game
0:35:36 > 0:35:39and they said, "Yeah we've got controlled drugs in the boot."
0:35:39 > 0:35:41They came to the boot and handed it over to me.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44It was enough there for personal consumption.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47There was no evidence to suggest they were dealing the drugs.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48No scales, no large amounts of cash.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51They're not known to us on the Police National Computer
0:35:51 > 0:35:56so I'm satisfied they were just for personal use, between themselves.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00After several hours' stopping and searching,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Owen and the team finally call it a day.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Look after yourselves. Have a good weekend. Be careful.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09It's time to check the haul.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15A bit of herbal, resin, and a ready-made joint.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17There's a few wraps in there.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Some more powder. Possibly going to be meow meow.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24It's been a good day for us.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Seizures from today have predominantly been herbal cannabis.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33At least two given on-the-spot fines for possession of cannabis.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36There's been a few people arrested.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Some dealt with today and
0:36:37 > 0:36:40the others street bailed until tomorrow or the day after.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42But it's a smaller haul than last year
0:36:42 > 0:36:44so Owen's chuffed with the results.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49The message is pretty much hitting home, don't bring drugs here,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and people have chanced their arm with bits of possession
0:36:52 > 0:36:54but most of these are first-time offenders
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Hopefully, they won't bring anything next year.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Meanwhile, this year, it's time for crowds to kick back,
0:37:02 > 0:37:05chill out and have some good clean festival fun in the sun.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20From stop and search to search and rescue.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Earlier, in Ayrshire, the Royal Navy helicopter raced to rescue
0:37:24 > 0:37:27two girls trapped on treacherous rocks off Irvine beach.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38The children, thankfully, are now onshore
0:37:38 > 0:37:41but they've had a rough time in the water.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Paramedics Dave Rigg and Rob Suckling
0:37:43 > 0:37:46are on the scene straightaway,
0:37:46 > 0:37:47checking for shock and injuries.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15It was a terrifying experience for local lasses 11-year-old Jordan
0:38:15 > 0:38:18and 12-year-old Amy.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21They'd been paddling fully clothed when they were pulled in by waves.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32On our arrival we saw the people on the ground.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35We decided to land on the beach nearby.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39We jumped out, went over to the casualties to find out
0:38:39 > 0:38:41exactly what had happened.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44They explained that they'd been on this spit of land,
0:38:44 > 0:38:48the water had taken their legs away, they'd been washed in
0:38:48 > 0:38:50and with the turbulence and struggling to try and get out,
0:38:50 > 0:38:53they were heavily cut up from the rocks.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56The girls are really cold.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59The bracing Scottish summer breeze isn't helping.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Has anyone got a spare jacket we can use to put over her?
0:39:04 > 0:39:09The pair were spotted by quick-thinking passer-by Fiona.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11We'd come down a walk and walked to the bottom.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14We realised there were some kids in the water.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16A first we thought they were playing
0:39:16 > 0:39:20but we realised the tide was getting high and it could be dangerous.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24We quickly realised there was two girls and they couldn't get out.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27It was very scary very quickly.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30I don't think they realised the danger they were in.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Amy has some nasty cuts. Both girls could be suffering from shock.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46The rescue team decide to get them to the nearest hospital quickly.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15Once on board, the girls are wrapped up warm. It's been a lucky escape.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32What started as a bit of fun quickly turned nasty.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35It could have all ended very differently.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Even though the girls were badly cut up, fortunately for them,
0:40:38 > 0:40:41they weren't caught in any riptide or anything like that,
0:40:41 > 0:40:43which could have easily took them under,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46dragged them into deeper water where they would have been
0:40:46 > 0:40:47in more difficulty.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51At the time, the water was quite shallow and luckily,
0:40:51 > 0:40:54with the assistance of people around, they were out quite quickly.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02For the Royal Navy team, every rescue means giving their all.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Especially when children are involved.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07As soon as we discovered the two casualties were children,
0:41:07 > 0:41:09even though it shouldn't affect
0:41:09 > 0:41:13your way of thinking, it always does change your mindset.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17People do tend to go that little bit further to ensure that
0:41:17 > 0:41:19children are all right
0:41:19 > 0:41:22and that they are safe and well as quickly as possible.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Thankfully, this time, no-one had to be winched from the water.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33It's only a five-minute journey to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40They'll both be fine. It's the shock of being in the water
0:41:40 > 0:41:43and being battered by the waves onto the rocks.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Why they were in the water in their clothes, I've no idea.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53They said they went into the water, swimming,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55the wave broke onto them and pushed them onto the rocks
0:41:55 > 0:41:59and they got rolled around in the surf.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Fully dressed and dressed for the occasion.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10The girls are taken to a waiting ambulance.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15It's job done for the Royal Navy search and rescue team.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34It's been all go for the emergency services in Britain's rural areas.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38After their swimming scare,
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Jordan and Amy were kept in hospital a few hours and then allowed home.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45They were lucky to get away with just minor cuts and scrapes.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Eight-year-old Angus spent two nights in Truro Hospital
0:42:51 > 0:42:53after having his arm reset.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57The budding explorer has another five weeks in plaster before he can
0:42:57 > 0:42:58resume his adventures.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04And a good time was had by all at the Green Man Festival.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08Those found with cannabis received a warning at the side of the road.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11The rest got police cautions in custody.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16And you thought it was quiet in the countryside.
