And that is all from us for this evening. Now on BBC One, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Hello, I'm Simon Newton. Doctors say a 16`year`old from | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
Essex, who drank a bottle of vodka as part of a so`called Neknominate | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
challenge, is lucky to be alive. The mother of Megan Lister has | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
decided to speak out against the current drinking craze after her | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
daughter spent two days in hospital. Three young men taking part in the | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
latest craze, called Neknominate. Friends challenge each other to film | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
themselves drinking alcohol and put the footage on the Internet. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
But some end up in hospital. They take the dare too far and drink a | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
large quantity of spirits. Dawn Lister's teenage daughter | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
nearly died after drinking a bottle of vodka. She is now urging | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
teenagers not to Neknominate. And parents to be vigilant. She couldn't | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
stand. She was shaking violently. Could not hold her eyes still. Her | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
eyes were rolling back in her head. She was screaming. She had hurt | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
herself. She was lucky. It could have turned any other way, you know. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
She could have died. She could have lost her life. The most common and | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
most dangerous side`effect of drinking a lot of alcohol is that it | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
will affect your conscious level. So you will become unconscious. When | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
you are unconscious, you cannot protect your airway. So you can | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
actually suffocate to death. 20`year`old Isaac Richardson, a | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
former pupil of Colchester Royal Grammar School, died after drinking | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
a concoction of wine and spirits. Meanwhile, Neknominate footage | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
becomes more and more outrageous. This woman rode a horse into a | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
supermarket to perform her drinking challenge. She defended her actions | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
as harmless fun. But there is deepening concern at the risks young | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
people face if they take part in this drinking craze. | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
Well, earlier, Look East spoke to Dr Tim Snelson, who lectures in media | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
studies at the University of East Anglia. And third year student Ollie | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Osborne about the Neknominate craze and the part social media plays in | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
these kind of online crazes. There is often talk about Facebook | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
depression. That people feel this pressure that their lives have to be | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
really exciting and special, because of the edited versions of other | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
people's profiles they see. So there is a sense in which social media | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
does provide some concerns or issues we would want to think about. I | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
would not do it, because I do not feel the pressure from other people | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
to do it. I guess it is down to being in those social groups. And if | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
you want to participate, then you can. I guess we've got to remember | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
that it is your own choice if you want to participate. You don't have | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
to actively feel that you must do it. I feel there is an area around | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
it. Where there is a discussion that happens off`line. Friends saying, | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
drinking that pint was horrible. And that aspect of moving from being | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
online and participating in online. `` in it. And then, moving it | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
off`line to talk to your friends and other people. And say, I saw you do | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
the Neknominate, how was it? You know, did you enjoy it? Was it | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
horrible? That is that other off`line aspect we don't see, | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
because it is not published. Other news and a police officer from | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Essex has been sacked after having a relationship with a vulnerable crime | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
victim. The 45`year`old officer, who was based at Colchester police | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
station, hasn't been named. A disciplinary hearing was told he'd | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
met the woman through his work, then tried to cover it up. He's been | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
dismissed without notice. Villagers in Suffolk who were | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
flooded out of their homes during the East coast tidal surge met with | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
the Environment Agency this afternoon. People in Snape say they | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
feel forgotten. And now some of those residents and businesses have | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
formed their own flood action group. We were here on our own. We didn't | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
see the police, the fire, any emergency services. Residents in the | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
village of Snape frustrated at the lack of support during the storm | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
surge. Today, the Environment Agency held a meeting to discuss concerns. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
It does annoy me that all of this is going on. And everybody is | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
complacent. The message that we got was not necessarily that clear in | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
terms of what we should and shouldn't have done in advance. You | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
should have had a flood plan, shouldn't you? I'm not sure that a | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
plan would have made a lot of difference. It is a fairly easy bit | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
to say, we should have had a plan, it would have made a difference. Why | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
are you having a plan now, then? Because I think there are lessons to | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
be learned. Back in December, the water overtopped this bank, flooding | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
50 acres of land. This is The Crown Pub back in December, completely | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
surrounded. It finally reopened today. I think there wasn't a proper | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
structure. Whereas in other communities, I know they are | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
slightly bigger and slightly different. But I think we could do | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
something here in Snape like they've got. That is when I knew something | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
was wrong, I tried to put the lights on. Sarah Gallagher's cottage was | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
flooded at three in the morning. Her home has been gutted. She won't be | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
able to return until July. To see policeman telling you that they have | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
no wellies and cannot come across. It is quite scary. Because they | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
seemed to treat our plight rather lightly. Sarah's saddened she and | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
her family felt forgotten by the agencies that were supposed to | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
protect them. But she is hoping to set up an action group to put in | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
place a proper flood plan for the future. | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
And a house facing demolition on an eroding cliff top in Suffolk has | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
been sold. The property at Easton Bavents near Southwold comes with | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
rights and financial help to build a new house elsewhere. It's currently | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
just eight metres from the cliff edge. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
The actor, John Hurt, launched a ?50,000 appeal today to help create | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
a film heritage centre in Norwich. Mr Hurt is patron of Cinema City | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
which is behind the ?660,000 project. The money will be used to | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
improve access and it's hoped those with a disability, particularly | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
dementia, will benefit from the education programmes. It is opening | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
up an understanding of the language of film. Which is a very specific | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
language. It is still quite young. It is only 100 years old anyway. But | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
it is inextricably part of our lives now. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
A Suffolk firm which became world famous for making sheepskin coats is | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
trying to find a buyer. Nursey of Bungay has been in business for more | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
than 200 years, but has been making losses. If the company can't find a | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
buyer, it will close next month. That's all from me. Time for the | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
weather now with Alex. Those earlier showers have no clear, | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
the rest of the night looking dry but cold. Clear spells across the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
region. And the wind continuing to ease, so chillier than it has been | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
recently, cold enough. `` cold enough for a touch of frost. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
Locally, widespread growing frost by the end of the night. We start | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
tomorrow quite chilly, but it should be bright sunshine through the | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
morning, feeling cooler and fresher than today, but we should see plenty | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
of sunshine and it will be quite windy. Increasing cloud for the | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
afternoon may produce some showers, although they are expected to be | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
quite isolated and stop in a moment, we have the national | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
forecasts, I will leave you with a word about the weekend, Saturday | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
looks the better, quite breezy but dry and bright weather, the wind | :07:30. | :07:30. | |
picks up on you in just the second. But here is | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
the outlook. On Sunday, we have grey skies and a bit of drizzle, too | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Good evening. You may have had the latest from the Met Office about the | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
rainfall we have had this winter, the wettest winter on record. It is | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
sometimes difficult to visualise the numbers. Let me explain how much | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
rain we had. If you think about a stretch of land across the UK, we | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
had about half a metre of rainfall falling so far this winter. That is, | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
if the water didn't sleep into the ground. We have a huge amount of | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
water brought in by areas of low pressure. 15 of them have been big | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
storms, causing lots of damage. As far as the shorts is concerned, it | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
is just a breeze. We have a few shells on the horizon and that is | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
pretty much it. You can see where the weather is coming from the | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
moment. It has | :08:24. | :08:25. |
