0:00:02 > 0:00:04From the Highlands of Scotland
0:00:04 > 0:00:06to the coast of Cornwall,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09the Great British countryside is spectacular.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14But we work and play in it at our peril.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19And when things go wrong,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22the emergency services race to the rescue.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24This chap is having a heart attack
0:00:24 > 0:00:26and we need to get him in quickly.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29You're under arrest for failing stop for police.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Going hundreds of miles against the clock,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35battling the elements
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and braving the weather.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Lower the winch.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43From fields and forests
0:00:43 > 0:00:45to cliffs and country roads.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We'll be right at the heart of the action
0:00:48 > 0:00:50with police fighting crime...
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I've got suspicions that there might be cannabis being used.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57..paramedics saving lives...
0:00:57 > 0:00:59BABY CRIES
0:00:59 > 0:01:02..and wardens safeguarding our lakes.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Come out of the way!
0:01:04 > 0:01:08We're there as the emergency services pull together to
0:01:08 > 0:01:12pick up, patch up, and protect the public.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16This is Countryside 999.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Coming up...
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Paramedics on the Isle of Man race to help a woman
0:01:39 > 0:01:44who's just given birth in some very surprising circumstances.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50But Mum's not the only one in shock.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Didn't even know she was pregnant.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58The Royal Navy join the hunt for a man missing in the Firth of Forth.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10And Hereford's own Cagney and Lacey crack down on drug driving.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12The reason that we've stopped you is as we passed you
0:02:12 > 0:02:15there's an enormous smell of cannabis coming from your vehicle.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25The Isle of Man.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36A breathtaking haven, 30 miles off England's west coast.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Though, for the last 90 years,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45there's been an annual disturbance of the peace.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49ENGINE REVS
0:02:56 > 0:02:57This is the Manx Grand Prix.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03A two-week event which sees up to 400
0:03:03 > 0:03:05amateur and professional riders battle it out.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11But with it come road closures - up to 11 hours a day...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16..creating havoc for the likes
0:03:16 > 0:03:19of paramedics Mark Dodd and Karen Conner.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27And today, in the midst of the craziness,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30there's a 999 call like no other.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Within seconds Mark and Karen are on a blue light.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05From their base in Douglas,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08it's four miles to just outside the village of Onchan...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13..a journey that normally takes six minutes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21..who was unaware that she was pregnant.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24She must have thought it was just stomach cramps.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And she's given birth, in the downstairs toilet.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31While they race to the scene,
0:04:31 > 0:04:36the emergency operator stays on the line to a bewildered new mum.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00This will be Mark's sixth delivery.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02They're like a bar of soap when they come out. They're very slippy.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And a friendly wager on the baby's gender is a must.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Kit Kat. I'd go for...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'll go for a girl
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Despite the road closures,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25they arrive on scene in just ten minutes...
0:05:25 > 0:05:28where 24-year-old Stephanie and newborn
0:05:28 > 0:05:31haven't moved from the downstairs loo.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Yeah.- Yeah, OK.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Red Cross medic Sue Plant got here a few minutes ago.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48The baby was already here. Just checked her over.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Soon followed my family friends
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and Martin, the baby's 26-year-old dad.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Didn't even know she was pregnant.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02She's just delivered it now!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Mum seemed pretty calm.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Not as shocked as Dad.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Scary.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah, she took it all in her stride.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18She was quite calm and...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Karen reassured her.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29She was just very quiet initially, very pale,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31as you would be, I suppose, if you'd just given birth
0:06:31 > 0:06:34and you didn't expect it to happen.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Stephanie had been for tests for stomach cramps
0:06:39 > 0:06:42and slight weight gain, but no-one realised she was pregnant.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Girl.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Karen's priority is cutting the umbilical cord.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57We always give Dad the option to cut the cord
0:06:57 > 0:06:59when it happens in the hospital, so...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Do you want to cut the cord?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Go on, lad.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Get in there.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Martin was very shaky and very emotional
0:07:21 > 0:07:23cos it's something that can only ever happen once.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25We just talked him through what he needed to do
0:07:25 > 0:07:30and where he needed to cut it, so he'll always have that memory now.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Martin and Stephanie have been together for six years
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and they still live with Stephanie's mum and dad.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44When I handed him the scissors, he was pretty shaky.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I would say...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50rabbit in headlights kind of look.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Just got Dad to cut the cord. - All right?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- I couldn't blame him at all. - Are you all right?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Although I would say both of them were in total shock,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Martin was just in floods of tears.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Go and have a seat in the ambulance cos you'll want to come with us.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well done, mate.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Just 20 minutes old,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10this little girl has already turned her parents' world upside down.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11She's a good colour.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18THEY LAUGH
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Right now, she needs a thorough examination.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30After all, it's not every baby that's born in the downstairs loo.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Across the British Isles...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52..in some of our most remote locations...
0:08:55 > 0:08:57..from Scotland's highest peaks...
0:08:59 > 0:09:02..to the dense valleys of the Lake District...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07..Royal Navy Search and Rescue squad HMS Gannet
0:09:07 > 0:09:10covers an area roughly 12 times the size of Wales.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Today, a call's come in.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Following reports of a man in the waters of the Firth of Forth,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23emergency services have been called.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25A Gannet crew is joining the search.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32When you're responding to an incident that doesn't sound
0:09:32 > 0:09:36too good, experience would dictate that you never, ever know.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I've been on jobs where you could almost guarantee that the
0:09:38 > 0:09:41people have died and they haven't - they've been fit and well.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45And likewise, you've been on what sounded like quite a minor
0:09:45 > 0:09:48incident and, unfortunately, the worst happened.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So, yeah, I always go in there with a positive attitude.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56HMS Gannet is called to sea
0:09:56 > 0:09:59and river searches around 12 times a year.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Onboard are pilot Stuart Pike...
0:10:05 > 0:10:08..and Lieutenant MV Hammond...
0:10:09 > 0:10:11..along with winch operator Richie Lightfoot...
0:10:16 > 0:10:21..and winchman paramedic Mike Henson, better known as H.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26If a person has died then I would prefer to find that person
0:10:26 > 0:10:30and hand them back over to their families, so that the family
0:10:30 > 0:10:32gets a little bit of closure,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36but also that, sort of, a young child on the beach
0:10:36 > 0:10:41or a family who haven't built up a resistance to that sort of thing
0:10:41 > 0:10:44could find that person and be quite traumatised.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48From their base in Prestwick,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51they're flying 58 miles towards Edinburgh
0:10:51 > 0:10:52and the Firth of Forth.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01'177, Kinloss Rescue. Roger. Out.'
0:11:02 > 0:11:05They'll coordinate with police and the coastguard to make
0:11:05 > 0:11:07a strategic search of the surrounding water.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11But with two bridges in the middle of their flight path,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14the crew need to keep their wits about them.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18If we were out at sea and there was no obstructions around,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21everybody could have their eyes out and searching.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yep.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31In that particular incident, we prefer the pilots not to search,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33as such, and keep us clear of all the obstructions.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36So you've kind of degraded your search ability as a team
0:11:36 > 0:11:38by 50% straightaway.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42The crew begins with a low-level sweep.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56We had to fly under bridges and around obstacles.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We felt 60 feet was giving us our
0:12:02 > 0:12:05best opportunity of finding something.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12As far as the search pattern goes, it was quite frustrating
0:12:12 > 0:12:14because we had an accurate grid position, and because
0:12:14 > 0:12:16we couldn't find him, it gets really frustrating.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20You think, it must be...either he got out without anybody seeing,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23or, you know, it may be that they're, unfortunately, submerged
0:12:23 > 0:12:25to the point where we can't see them.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34An initial sweep of the area takes seven minutes.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42But with no immediate sign of the casualty,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45the crew concentrate on a series of smaller search grids.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Every possibility needs to be explored.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23If the crew find the missing person,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26it will be H's job to get him safely on board.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55After 40 minutes, neither police, the coastguard or HMS Gannet
0:13:55 > 0:13:57have found any trace of the casualty.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24They decide on a different approach.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29We went to 500 feet to clear all the obstructions
0:14:29 > 0:14:30that were knocking around,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33but that also gave us a big view
0:14:33 > 0:14:37of the area so we could see the whole area we were searching.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44It also allowed us to see just below the surface of the water.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48From past experiences, sometimes when people have drowned,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51they'll be submerged just slightly below the water.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02After 90 minutes, there's still no trace of the missing person.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The call is made to end the search.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Of HMS Gannet's 300 search and rescue missions a year,
0:15:29 > 0:15:3180% have a positive outcome.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35But not every callout ends well.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42How people deal with that is very, very different for everybody.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Like to think I'm doing a service
0:15:44 > 0:15:46even if the outcome isn't what we want.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49The way I live with it is the fact that I know that
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I gave 100%
0:15:51 > 0:15:54and there's nothing else I could have possibly done to change that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03A new day and another call's come in.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06A 58-year-old woman has been injured while hill walking.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16From their base the crew are flying 30 miles north
0:16:16 > 0:16:19to a rural location in Inverclyde.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24It's taken ground paramedics three hours to find
0:16:24 > 0:16:26the casualty in the remote spot.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Now they're struggling to get her to hospital.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32People get, what we call, a minor injury.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36They're reluctant to call for assistance,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39and then when they call for assistance,
0:16:39 > 0:16:43secondary problems such as hypothermia
0:16:43 > 0:16:45or hypoglycaemia can set in.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Meanwhile, winch operator Richard Swales
0:16:53 > 0:16:56is worried about the landing.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Open the door now.- Clear door.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13But as they reach the coordinates they've been given,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15there's another problem.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The initial grid was slightly inaccurate.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27But within the vicinity,
0:17:27 > 0:17:33however, we could see a farmer pointing us in the direction
0:17:33 > 0:17:34of where we needed to go.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46After searching the surrounding area,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49it turns out to be an ambulance from another incident.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57Unfortunately, the farmer was aware of another job that was
0:17:57 > 0:18:02happening at the time, so pointing us in the complete wrong direction.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06And more than three hours after her fall,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10the casualty they are looking for is still waiting for help.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23From bad directions to a surprise delivery.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28On the Isle of Man,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31paramedics Mark and Karen still have their hands full.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Just 20 minutes ago, and to everyone's surprise...
0:18:42 > 0:18:44She's just delivered it now!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48..24-year-old Stephanie
0:18:48 > 0:18:52gave birth in her mum and dad's downstairs loo.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54She's a good colour.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Although I would say both of them were in total shock,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59she'd obviously handled it really well
0:18:59 > 0:19:04and Martin was just in floods of tears and shaking.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The baby's five critical factors need to be assessed.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15Her appearance, pulse, reflexes, activity and breathing.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20The baby appeared nice and pink.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Pulse rate was above 100.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26BABY CRIES
0:19:26 > 0:19:29The baby had good response to stimulation.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Activity, you could see the baby's arms and legs were nicely flexed
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and the respiratory rate, the baby appeared to be breathing normally.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45She's in good shape. Now it's Mum's turn.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Which means finally leaving the downstairs loo.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Family friend Amy gives Stephanie's dad the incredible news.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's your dad.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02She's just going now, she's just leaving the house.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Her mum, Tracy, now a grandmother, arrives home just in time.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- You all right?- Can you make your way up to the hospital?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15You're OK, don't worry.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17The next stop for these young parents
0:20:17 > 0:20:19is Noble's Hospital in Douglas.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Though both are still in shock.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Although Stephanie had been to her GP and undergone
0:20:36 > 0:20:40a series of tests, pregnancy was the last thing on anyone's mind.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45She thought she had a medical term called IBS,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50She's gone to the toilet with stomach cramps
0:20:50 > 0:20:54and out popped a baby.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24MAN LAUGHS
0:21:26 > 0:21:28That was pretty new to me because all the other births
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I've been to, all the ladies had known that they were pregnant,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34so it wasn't too much of a shock for them.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Stephanie is a nursery nurse,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50but now she has a new role to consider.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00No.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03She looks full term. She looks a healthy baby.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- SPEECH DROWNED OUT - Yeah.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08You know, it's...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10She felt a good weight when I picked her up.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16She's got all her features, got all her toes and, yeah.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28At the hospital, a team of midwives is ready and waiting.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Hello.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Hiya.- Hi.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Both Mum and daughter will be thoroughly checked over.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Maybe even Dad, too.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Meanwhile, paramedics Karen and Mark still have a bet to settle.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00We had a bit of a gamble on which sex the baby would be.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04I went for a girl and, yeah, Karen went for the boy and, yeah.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08She still hasn't given me the Kit Kat yet, so she owes me one!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26170 miles southeast of the Isle of Man...
0:23:29 > 0:23:32..you'll find Herefordshire in the West Midlands.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38One of the most rural
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and sparsely-populated counties in England.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Patrolling its 842 square miles are around 200 police officers.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Amongst them, a duo affectionately known by their colleagues
0:23:56 > 0:23:58as Cagney and Lacey.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Testing Taser!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- PC Sarah Smith...- Have you got your insurance documents to hand?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07..and PC Sam Davis.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Take care, ta-ra.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14I'm what you would call a rural bird,
0:24:14 > 0:24:15so it didn't even occur to me
0:24:15 > 0:24:17to move to the city to be a police officer.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I just wanted to police where I grew up
0:24:19 > 0:24:22and police in areas that I knew best, really.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27But many of the crimes associated with cities
0:24:27 > 0:24:30are also a big problem in the country,
0:24:30 > 0:24:35such as driving under the influence, not just of alcohol, but drugs.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I think, generally, car-loads of lads will go and park up
0:24:38 > 0:24:41at a beauty spot or somewhere nice and quiet and have a joint,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44and sort of chill out and listen to music and then drive home.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46They might feel OK but if they're over the limit,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48they're over the limit.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52It's 10.25pm.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55OK, have a safe journey. All right. Bye-bye.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Sarah and Sam are on patrol looking out for any suspicious vehicles.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04SIREN WAILS
0:25:06 > 0:25:0915 miles from their Hereford base,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13they stop two men driving through the village of Symonds Yat.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Have you got any ID on you, mate?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19They suspect the driver may be under the influence of cannabis.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21The reason that we've stopped you is as we passed you there's
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- an enormous smell of cannabis coming from your vehicle.- OK.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I take it you've just been out for a joint, have you?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Right, OK.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30What about you, lad? Have you got any cannabis in here?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Cos we're going to search it, so it's probably easier if you tell us
0:25:33 > 0:25:35there is some, then it's easier to deal with, isn't it?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- I've got a little bit in my pocket here.- Right, OK.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Do you want to just chuck it up on top of the car for us?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43For small amounts, it's at police discretion
0:25:43 > 0:25:45whether or not to charge for possession.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Right, get your filter, then, before it...
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's covered in muck.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Though, if the passenger has had a previous drug conviction
0:25:51 > 0:25:54in the last 12 months, Sarah has to arrest him
0:25:54 > 0:25:55or summon him to court later.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Have you been dealt with for possession of cannabis before?
0:26:00 > 0:26:01There's not a lot in there.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Enough to make me sneeze!
0:26:03 > 0:26:04So I shall put the lid back on.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Sarah searches the vehicle while Sam questions the driver.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13From our point of view, I need to be happy that when you drive
0:26:13 > 0:26:15this car away, you're not under the influence of it, all right.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- So what I'm going to be doing... - I've had a shandy at the pub. - That's fair enough.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22What I'll do, I'll give you a quick breath test and then because
0:26:22 > 0:26:24of the strong smell of cannabis, what I'm going to be doing
0:26:24 > 0:26:27is requesting a swab, basically, a saliva swab from you.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28No problem.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Section 5A of the Road Traffic Act,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33which is basically over excess drugs.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Legal limits for driving under the influence of eight drugs,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40including heroin, cocaine and cannabis,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42were introduced in March 2015.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Have you had a smoke or anything? - Last night I had a smoke.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I did maybe... I had... Just last night, nothing today.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Right, OK.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Since then, more than 400 motorists a month have been
0:26:55 > 0:26:57arrested for drug driving.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Driving whilst under the influence of drugs is
0:27:00 > 0:27:04just the same as driving whilst under the influence of alcohol.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06It's very dangerous and can cause accidents.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09If it comes back as showing
0:27:09 > 0:27:12that you're under the influence of cannabis, OK,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and picks up a trace of that, obviously, you'll be arrested.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17You'll be coming to Hereford Police Station
0:27:17 > 0:27:19and then we'll go through a procedure which I'll explain
0:27:19 > 0:27:20- if that comes to it, OK.- OK.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23The fact that I had a smoke last night, will it make a difference
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- to this, or not?- I can't really say, mate, to be honest.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Let's just see what the old swab says, all right?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Meanwhile, the police database reveals the passenger's
0:27:35 > 0:27:38conviction was less than a year ago.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- When was it?- 22nd September.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- It's not quite a year, then.- No.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- All right. - What does that mean, then?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49What I'm going to have to do is
0:27:49 > 0:27:51arrest you on suspicion of possession of cannabis, OK.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53You do not have to say anything.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55It may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned
0:27:55 > 0:27:58something you later rely on in court. Anything that you do say
0:27:58 > 0:27:59- may be given in evidence, OK?- Right.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01What we'll do is get a quick interview.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Do I have to come to the police station or anything like that?
0:28:04 > 0:28:06It's probably quicker to, yeah. I know.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- What, Hereford?- Yeah.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I know.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12That's it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17And a second arrest tonight depends on this small piece of plastic.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19It takes eight minutes to give a result.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It's a little bit like a pregnancy test.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23It sort of gives two lines if it's a positive
0:28:23 > 0:28:25and one line if it's a negative.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29The results are in.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Right, let's have a look at the scores on the doors.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I'll show you the result. Come here.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36You can see in the light, then.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I haven't smoked anything today, my love. I promise you.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40I've been in the pub all night.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41- Look at this, OK.- Yeah, I'm looking.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Double line for cannabis there. Can you see it?- I can see it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Yeah, you've got one for cocaine, which means it's worked.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- The test has worked correctly. - Right.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53So cocaine's not showing anything, but cannabis is, OK.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56So at this present moment in time you're under arrest on suspicion
0:28:56 > 0:28:58of driving a motor vehicle with excess drugs, OK.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- You do not have to say anything... - I haven't smoked anything...
0:29:01 > 0:29:04It may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned
0:29:04 > 0:29:06something which you'll later rely on in court. Anything you do say
0:29:06 > 0:29:08may be given in evidence, OK?
0:29:08 > 0:29:09What's going to happen now,
0:29:09 > 0:29:10I'm going to take you...
0:29:15 > 0:29:16Listen to me, OK.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19You're going to have to come into the police station...
0:29:19 > 0:29:21No, it's all right. No, it's fair enough.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23That doesn't lie, OK. It's not...
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I've done the test with you and it shows
0:29:26 > 0:29:28that you have got a trace of it, OK.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Whether that amount is above the legal limit or under
0:29:31 > 0:29:33the legal limit is not for me to say, is it?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35But what we need to do, we need to get you to custody.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37We'll call a doctor out, he'll take a blood test
0:29:37 > 0:29:39and then that'll be analysed, OK?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43And that'll be the decision on whether you are driving with excess
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- drugs or not, all right? Simple as.- OK.- So, OK.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Both men live locally, but the main police station is in Hereford.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- You mum?- She rang me a minute ago.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Yeah, give your mum a ring. Go on, then. Yeah, go on.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Which means a 34-mile round trip.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Rural policing, it's not just about arresting them
0:30:04 > 0:30:06and taking them to the police station.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08You've got to make sure they get home safely, as well.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11So sometimes we arrest, sometimes we deal with roadside.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12It just depends on the situation.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17In this instance, Sarah decides to de-arrest the passenger
0:30:17 > 0:30:19and interview him in situ.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22You're entitled to free and independent legal advice
0:30:22 > 0:30:23- at any time. Do you understand?- Yes.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Asked all the questions that I would've asked
0:30:25 > 0:30:27if I'd brought him into custody.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Tell me what's the substance I've just seized from you.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33And then I reported him for summons which basically means that he'll
0:30:33 > 0:30:36get a letter in the post telling him what date to go to court.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Because you've already been to court for cannabis,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I can only assume that you're going to go to court again.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44If you hadn't been to court or had any problems
0:30:44 > 0:30:47with cannabis before, we could be looking at giving you
0:30:47 > 0:30:50a street warning or a fixed-penalty ticket or something different,
0:30:50 > 0:30:54but because you've got previous, and it's less than a year ago...
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I'm not the decision-maker,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- but I can only assume that you will be going to court.- Right, OK.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00All right. So you get yourself home.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Go and explain to Daddy why you've been pulled by the police...
0:31:03 > 0:31:04See you in a bit, mate.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- ..and we'll look after your mate, all right?- All right, no worries.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- All right. Take it easy.- Take care.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12A lot of jobs we do, it can be dealt with in custody,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14it can be dealt with side of the road on a voluntary basis.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16We just have to make the judgment call,
0:31:16 > 0:31:17you know, what we're going to do.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21If it was a large amount of cannabis or we thought for a second he was
0:31:21 > 0:31:24growing it at home, something like that, then we need to arrest him
0:31:24 > 0:31:27so we can get the power...the authority to get a search
0:31:27 > 0:31:28of his house, for example.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32But that was a tiny little bit just for his own use.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35So that was it, really.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38So, let's get this other one to custody.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Come through, then.
0:31:45 > 0:31:5017 miles later, at Hereford station, the driver is searched...
0:31:52 > 0:31:54..processed....
0:31:54 > 0:31:57You do have the right to speak to a solicitor.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58..and will be given a blood test
0:31:58 > 0:32:02to accurately measure the level of cannabis in his system.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05The doctor is en route so it shouldn't take too long.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09If the blood test proves he's over the limit,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12this driver faces a 12-month driving ban.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13They might feel OK,
0:32:13 > 0:32:15but if they're over the limit, they're over the limit,
0:32:15 > 0:32:17and I don't think they've considered that before,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20but I think this new legislation will address that.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23That's section 5A, or 3A of the Road Traffic Act 1988,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25do you understand?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Cannabis, in particular, it slows your system down.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Inevitably then slows your reaction time down,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34so slows your braking distances, everything else.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Once the blood test is complete, he'll be allowed to go home.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45But it will be several weeks before he gets the results.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49If you're under the influence of whether it's alcohol or drugs,
0:32:49 > 0:32:50it's a no-go behind the wheel.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52We have to pick up the pieces at the end of the day
0:32:52 > 0:32:54and it's sometimes not very pretty.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08280 miles from Hereford, in Inverclyde...
0:33:12 > 0:33:15..the crew from HMS Gannet is still searching a remote area
0:33:15 > 0:33:17for an injured hill walker.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22They lost valuable time when a local farmer sent them
0:33:22 > 0:33:24in the wrong direction.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27There was a couple of false starts and a bit of confusion
0:33:27 > 0:33:29cos it was well away from the position we were passed.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Winch operator Richard Swales is frustrated by the delay.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38The farmer that was next to the ambulances was gesticulating
0:33:38 > 0:33:42to us to head up the valley, basically, to where he thought
0:33:42 > 0:33:43we were coming to attend.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Finally, there's a breakthrough.
0:33:55 > 0:33:579 o'clock. Visual and casualty. 9 o'clock.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59But now there's another concern -
0:33:59 > 0:34:01landing.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03The casualty was in quite a remote area
0:34:03 > 0:34:08and the area was pretty bad underfoot, quite swampy ground.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Where the pilot's positioned, they can't really see
0:34:13 > 0:34:14below the aircraft.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17They also can't see behind, and in certain areas
0:34:17 > 0:34:19where we land with rising ground
0:34:19 > 0:34:21the rotors can get pretty close to the ground.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25So we, basically, provide the eyes for the pilot.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Part of that is to talk them down to the correct area
0:34:32 > 0:34:33and looking out for any hazards.
0:34:45 > 0:34:4858-year-old Dot twisted her ankle
0:34:48 > 0:34:50when a footbridge collapsed underneath her.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Most of the pain, it was in
0:35:05 > 0:35:07what we call the popliteal space,
0:35:07 > 0:35:08which is just behind the knee.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11The casualty had had surgery on that knee,
0:35:11 > 0:35:15so it could have been a kind of a weak part of her anatomy.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19She was in a fair bit of pain,
0:35:19 > 0:35:24but she'd refused pain relief from the ambulance crew.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Dot was walking with her friend Dawn
0:35:28 > 0:35:30when the accident happened,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32but a lack of mobile coverage
0:35:32 > 0:35:35and the rugged terrain has hampered the rescue attempt.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38She's been lying here for three-and-a-half hours.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43We've managed to find a little route across the boggy ground,
0:35:43 > 0:35:47so, just with the inherent risk of winching, it's not worth...
0:35:47 > 0:35:49The risk versus the benefit isn't worth it.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53So we're going to package the casualty into the stretcher
0:35:53 > 0:35:55and just walk her across to the aircraft
0:35:55 > 0:35:57and get her on the way to hospital.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02But even this small journey requires military precision.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16And Dot's pain begins to worsen.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19When we were just about to move the casualty to the aircraft,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22she decided the pain was now becoming unbearable.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27You would? OK, I've got some...
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Once onboard the helicopter, H can give Dot Entonox,
0:36:38 > 0:36:43a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45But first, he needs to get her there.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Roger. Just about to ready to go.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58The crew sets course for Glasgow.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05And Dot receives much-needed pain relief.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Giving the Entonox helped.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10That brought her pain score from
0:37:10 > 0:37:12an eight out of ten down to a four out of ten.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16There's a lot of extrinsic factors
0:37:16 > 0:37:19that can make a pain score better or worse.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24Quite often, when a patient's out of the elements and is getting
0:37:24 > 0:37:28reassured and talked to, that can bring their pain score down.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41In just 13 minutes, the crew touches down at
0:37:41 > 0:37:46Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow's newest medical facility.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53From the rooftop helipad, it's a short trip to A & E,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56where Dot can finally get the treatment she needs.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16On the Isle of Man,
0:38:16 > 0:38:2024-year-old Stephanie had the shock of her life when
0:38:20 > 0:38:23what she thought were stomach cramps turned out to be a baby.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Despite road closures, paramedics Mark Dodd
0:38:32 > 0:38:35and Karen Conner got there in just ten minutes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Though, while Mum and daughter were in good health,
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Dad was a nervous wreck.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Didn't even know she was pregnant!
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- When did you find out? - She's just delivered it now!
0:39:01 > 0:39:04After an unorthodox delivery,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07the surprised new parents found themselves
0:39:07 > 0:39:08in Noble's Maternity Ward.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Three weeks later, Stephanie, Martin
0:39:24 > 0:39:27and the newly-named Maisie, are back home.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29A lot of people call her Amazing Maisie.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Cos she was a surprise.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Honestly, I thought it was just a stomach bug, stomach pains,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40stomach cramps, and thought it would pass.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Just thought it was some kind of bug that I had.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49After seeing her GP, Stephanie was diagnosed
0:39:49 > 0:39:53as having a wheat intolerance, until that fateful day.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57I just felt like I needed the toilet constantly.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Was pretty much on and off the toilet all day.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I told Mum to take me to hospital but she said, no, that A & E
0:40:03 > 0:40:05wouldn't thank me for a stomach bug.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06She told me to stay at home.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10This urge just came over me to push and I...
0:40:10 > 0:40:13was obviously a bit confused, a bit, like, no, you don't need to,
0:40:13 > 0:40:15but it's obviously something that you can't stop,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17and the second time I pushed, I seen a head,
0:40:17 > 0:40:20and then the third time, she came out!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24I stood up and caught her at the same time.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26I was panicking that she might hit her head.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28And as I pulled her from the toilet,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31she had the umbilical cord round her neck,
0:40:31 > 0:40:32which I took from round her neck,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34and that's when she started screaming.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Then Stephanie phoned 999.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I said, "I swear I didn't know I was pregnant,"
0:40:57 > 0:41:00and she said, "You don't have to justify it to me."
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Next thing, I get this phone call which I didn't think was real
0:41:05 > 0:41:09cos I was swearing at her and all sorts, you know.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11One of them phone calls you don't believe, isn't it?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14If somebody said, "I've won the lottery," you might believe that,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17but you saying, "I've just had a baby and didn't know about it,"
0:41:17 > 0:41:18it's a big shock.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Scary.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Just didn't believe me and then, obviously, Martin heard her crying
0:41:25 > 0:41:26and asked me what it was.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Thought it was the dog, and I said, "No, it's not the dog, it's a baby."
0:41:30 > 0:41:33I went through a few red lights and that to get home, so...
0:41:33 > 0:41:35As soon as I came in, obviously,
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I went to see if Steph was all right.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Had a little look at her, then obviously just a bit shocked.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I was crying my eyes out.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Yeah, it was an emotional day, to be honest.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Baby Maisie was born a healthy 7lb 5oz,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54and despite her unusual start in life,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58her mum and dad are happy to report she's in perfect health.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14It's been all go for the emergency services
0:42:14 > 0:42:16across the British Isles.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20In Herefordshire, the driver stopped for drug driving
0:42:20 > 0:42:22was given an evidential blood test
0:42:22 > 0:42:24which proved the levels of cannabis in his system
0:42:24 > 0:42:28were under the legal limit and all charges were dropped.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32But his friend was charged with possession of cannabis
0:42:32 > 0:42:33and summoned to court.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38In Scotland, injured hill walker Dot
0:42:38 > 0:42:42has been treated for a torn muscle in her knee and a sprained ankle.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46After three weeks' R&R, she's steering clear of steep hills,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49but managing the odd short walk with her dog.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52And on the Isle of Man,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55amazing Maisie is now sleeping through the night.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Dad's almost over the shock,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59and Mum is officially on maternity leave.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04And you thought it was quiet in the countryside.
