:00:24. > :00:28.the time, shortly before 9:30 last night. Police and paramedics were

:00:56. > :00:58.the time. The police were here and the ambulance was here quickly and I

:00:59. > :01:04.believe she was taken to hospital. I believe she has hurt her wrist and

:01:05. > :01:09.ankle. The ride is closed for the time being. Obviously, the ride

:01:10. > :01:15.operators are cooperating with the council and giving full cooperation.

:01:16. > :01:19.Is there a sign of any fault with the ride? There is no sign at this

:01:20. > :01:22.stage. All the rides in the fair were checked by officers before they

:01:23. > :01:30.were set up and they do have up`to`date safety certificates. The

:01:31. > :01:36.other rides began operating as planned, but the Rocker remains

:01:37. > :01:38.closed. The council later said that the Health and Safety Executive said

:01:57. > :02:02.Portsmouth a group abseiled down the Spinnaker Tower to raise awareness

:02:16. > :02:18.It was once a building material used across the country, now it is a

:02:19. > :02:23.banned substance. But diseases caused by inhalation of

:02:24. > :02:28.asbestos linger. There is a lung cancer caused purely by asbestos

:02:29. > :02:32.exposure. It lies in the core of the lung and it can lay there for many

:02:33. > :02:37.years, before it actually sort of rears its ugly head. Campaigners say

:02:38. > :02:42.industries like dock working make Portsmouth something of a hotspot.

:02:54. > :02:55.Today, Portsmouth Spinnaker Tower was the challenge as doctors,

:03:26. > :03:28.playoff places for our sides. In the Championship, Reading slipped up at

:03:29. > :03:31.Wigan, beaten 3`0, which means they drop out of the playoff places.

:03:32. > :03:33.They're replaced by Brighton, who got a late equaliser at
