Welcome to Look North. The headlines. Plans are being put at | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
risk as paramedics said ambulance staff borrowed a word. I think | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
patients are being put at risk and it is a matter of time before | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
somebody loses their life. War's family appeal for help three weeks | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
after she went missing -- and Diann Conboy's family. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
An investigation says nothing could have stopped the Goole floods. | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
And we find out if the Iron Lady has provoked a North-South divide. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Stay mild the next couple of days but cold by Friday. The details | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :00:55. | ||
coming up shortly. -- staying mild. Good evening. It is being claimed | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
that patients' lives are being put at risk across Yorkshire because of | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
overwork ambulance staff. A paramedic has told the BBC that | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
crews at being regularly asked to work over their 12 hour shifts | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
without breaks. He says some staff are asked to cover a huge distances | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
to help other areas of the service need response targets. The | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Yorkshire Ambulance Service denies the claims. We will hear from them | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
in a moment. First, here is Vicky Johnson. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Ambulance crews operating across East Yorkshire at increasingly been | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
stretched to the limit. This employee, who wants to remain | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
anonymous, has had his comments revoiced. Morale is very low, | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
basically because we are being worked into the ground. We work 12 | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
hour shifts and very often we do not get breaks within that period. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
His concerns have been echoed by union leaders, who say increasing | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
demand combined with staff shortages are causing problems. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
They are running the cruise into the ground. As a trade union, we | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
have never liked 12 hour shifts. I think they are far too long for the | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
type of work paramedics do. Go beyond that, and I think you are | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
really pushing the boundaries. You cannot drive a lorry for that long. | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
He does not seem right. Yorkshire Ambulance Service receive | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
up to 4 million calls a year, and has almost 1,900 frontline staff | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
who cover approximately 6,000 square miles. Sometimes, crews are | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
expected to cross county boundaries when there is a surge in demand in | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
other areas. This member of staff told me they increasing workload | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
could have tragic consequences for patients. I think patients had | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
definitely been put at risk and it is a matter of time before somebody | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
loses their life because the Ramblers does not arrive in time. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
The core into ambulance officials, the Yorkshire service is definitely | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
not overstretched, and they insist that response times here in Hull | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
area are among the best in the country. -- according to ambulance | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
officials. Vince Larvin is from the Yorkshire | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Ambulance Service. I asked him if services are stretched. Definitely | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
not. I think anything but. Our response times are proving | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
otherwise. The government stand -- the Government's standard is 75 %, | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
and we are achieving almost 90 %. This paramedics says morale is low, | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
Ships at Toulon and rarely they get proper breaks. Is that fair and | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
:03:51. | :03:57. | ||
accurate? -- shifts are too long. We take the welfare of staff very | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
seriously. Unison told us they regained 12 hour shifts because | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
invariably they do 13 or 14 away days. Why ambulance staff allowed | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
to do that? It can happen on occasion. It is the nature of the | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
job. When we put the shift patterns together, we consulted unions and | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
staff. There was a range of 8, 9 and 10 hour shift patterns | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
available. Why ambulance staff being sent to other parts of | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Yorkshire? Is that so they hit government response times? To put | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
that into perspective, that happens in all areas. When demand is high | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
in other areas, we do move resources around. That is | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
reciprocal. It happens nationally. This paramedics says lives are | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
being put at risk. Do you accept and agree with him on that? | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Absolutely not. I think our response times demonstrate we are | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
providing some of the best reply -- best response times in the country. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
They are really good, not is down to the hard work and commitment of | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
our staff. Thank you very much. I would like to know your thoughts | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
on this. What is your experience of the Yorkshire Ambulance Service? | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Maybe you work there. What do you think of some of the claims being | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
made? Is it right that crews apple from one part of the region to | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
:05:49. | :06:02. | ||
In a moment: One council tries to get thousands of people to change | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
to one energy supplier. Anybody has been discovered Mayor | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Humberside Airport. Police were called to the scene at Great Limber | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
earlier this afternoon. The area has been cordoned off one | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
investigations take place. Investigations are continuing into | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
the death of a woman who died after falling from a block of flats in | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
Bridlington. It happened on South Marine Drive late last night. A 36- | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
year-old man is being questioned. An abattoir in Skegness has gone | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
into administration, putting 26 jobs at risk. Lincolnshire Prime | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
Meat Company has debts of over �1 million. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
It does not matter what you have done away you have been, all we | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
want is for you to get in touch. Those are the words of Diann | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
Conboy's family, three weeks after she went missing. Humberside Police | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
say the public could pets -- the public could play a vital role in | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
finding the 47-year-old. Woman com -- Diann Conboy. Police | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
have today revealed she had gone missing ones before. It was back in | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
October, and she was staying in and out house may Cottingham. Diann's | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
family have issued a statement through the police calling on | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
people to check their sheds and garages. Please contact the police | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
and let us know you are safe. We are missing our mother, daughter, | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
sister and friend. Diann Conboy was reported missing from her home on | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
21st December. Police said they have an unconfirmed sighting of her | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
at Ellerburn Avenue on the 23rd. Searches had focused on the Sir | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Henry Cooper schools side before moving to Thwaite Hall in | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
Cottingham last weekend. Diann's last sighting may have been by a | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
white colleague here on Ellerburn Avenue. Police are using it as a | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
starting point as they examine financial records and CCTV across | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
the area. Police insist there is no connection with the disappearance | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
of Diann's encore, Michael Conboy, who has been missing since 2009. | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
But for Diann's family, a difficult time. They edged ahead to get in | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
touch. He does not matter what anybody else says. It does not | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
matter what you have done away you have been. We just when you to get | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
in touch with any of us to let us know it you were safe and well. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Until I is fresh information, the searches that were taking place | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
have stopped, despite the police and her family becoming | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
increasingly concerned as each day passes. | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
We will continue to follow that story. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
A North Norfolk District Council is paying up to �25,000 of taxpayers' | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
money to retrain staff at the Cromer Crab Company. Youngs, which | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
owns the company, is still in talks to secure the future of the factory, | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
but at least 70 jobs are under threat. The council has asked for | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
the cash to be reimbursed. Her rail travel from Yorkshire to | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
London could be about to get much quicker following the announcement | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
there will be a high-speed rail link developed. The trains will | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
travel at up to 250 miles away. It means you will be able to get from | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Leeds to London in one hour and 20 minutes. But it will be over 20 | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
years before the line get built. With energy costs expected to rise | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
by 27 % over the next eight years, one Lincolnshire council has | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
decided to take matters into its own hands. South Holland District | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Council is hoping to persuade all of its 37,000 residents to switch | :09:51. | :10:00. | |
to a single energy supplier. It is all about bulk discount, as Paul | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Murphy reports. June and Peter believe that if | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
their energy costs keep rising, they will struggle to pay the bills. | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
They are eating and their heating or me to be carefully calculated -- | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
they're eating and heating. Last winter, we did not suffer but my | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
pocket did. They are joining the new fuel tariff register. It allows | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
a community to bulk-buy discount energy from a single supplier. All | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
37,000 households in his council area had been invited to sign up. | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
If we could get everybody together to buy from the same contract, if | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
we could save 10 %, that would be about �4 million we have saved for | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
the district. That would give the shops and Traders extra income. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
a household spends more than 10 % on -- more than 10 % of income on | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
energy, it is classed as fuel poverty. Around 18 % of households | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
in England fall into this category. In South Holland, that figure is | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
around 25 %. We are fortunate that we both have small pensions to back | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
away state pensions. There are people who rely on the state | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
:11:30. | :11:33. | ||
pension. I think it is getting harder, and will do. If enough | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
households can be encouraged to sign up to this game, the council | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
hopes to begin negotiations with energy suppliers within weeks. | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
Interesting idea. Thank you for watching this Tuesday night. Still | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
ahead: Plans to give a local landmark a new lease of life. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
And more than 20 years after leaving office, Margaret Thatcher | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
:12:11. | :12:15. | ||
If you have a picture you are proud of, send it in. Tonight's is of the | :12:15. | :12:25. | |
:12:25. | :12:25. | ||
Tony says, last night, Paul suggested we go and look at the | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
magnificent full moon, then added, you might find it more interesting | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
than his forecast. He was right! I did and it was. He said, is there | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
another tonight? It is a bit cloudy. Tell us about | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
last night! Read the weather. Oh, you do not | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
read it, do you? You elaborate! The next 24 hours is a mild one. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
They will be a lot of cloud around, possibly enough to produce a little | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
drizzle. Temperatures in Bridlington could be up to 12 | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
degrees. There could be some drizzle for the Yorkshire wolds. We | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:17. | ||
had a nice spell of sunshine. I think the cloud will thicken | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
through this evening and overnight sufficiently to produce some | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
drizzle. It looks generally as if it should be dry and frost free | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
again. Lowest temperatures about six or seven. The sun will rise at | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
:13:47. | :13:47. | ||
8:15am, setting at fora 5:00pm. -- setting up fora 5:00pm. Perhaps a | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
bit of dampness around. Any drizzle will quickly die away, then it is | :13:53. | :14:03. | |
:14:03. | :14:04. | ||
generally dry but cloudy. You will see some great developing. Top | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
temperatures will probably be in Bridlington, perhaps it see as well. | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
:14:19. | :14:19. | ||
Elsewhere, around 11. Thursday will be worked at first with patchy rain, | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
but it tends sunny in the afternoon. Some frost on Thursday night, then | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
Friday and Saturday look colder, but generally dry with some | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
:14:38. | :14:39. | ||
You get very touchy about the forecast! See you tomorrow. | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
Read your autocue! An investigation looking into the cause of flooding | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
in Goole last summer found more rain fell than the drainage systems | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
are designed to cope with. You might remember that last August, | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
it's estimated that more than 64 millimetres of rain "probably" fell | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
on Goole in just one hour. The council say this is a once in a | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
lifetime event. Yorkshire Water has now agreed to spend 275 thousand | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
pounds on a study looking at the town's drainage systems. Our | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
environment correspondent Siobhan Robbins is in Goole now. Just | :15:12. | :15:22. | |
:15:22. | :15:28. | ||
It was really serious. Two weeks of rain fell in a few hours and this | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
cul-de-sac was an area which was badly hit. To give you an | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
impression of how bad things got, one resident told me he was wading | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
through water up to his knees. He is over 6 ft tall. That is the | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
point of the report to look at what caused the floods and how to | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
prevent a repeat in the future. This was the result of a few hours' | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
rain. A freak summer downpour which left many houses in Goole under | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
water. Five months many victims like Judy blame the cutting out of | :15:57. | :16:06. | |
three pumps at the pumping station for worsening the situation. When | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
the pumps were switched back on, we could see the water going back down | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
the drains. It was quite clear at something had happened. Up until | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
then, the water was rising. today's report paints a different | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
picture it blames exceptional rain. It says most system's would be | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
overwhelmed. But in the future to recommends agencies work together | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
more that a new warning system is put in and pumping stations don't | :16:29. | :16:39. | |
:16:39. | :16:39. | ||
shut off during heavy rain. We have carried out a million pounds of | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
investment at the pumping station, we have refurbished the pumps and a | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
confident there will be no repeat in terms of those pumps going idle | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
at a critical point. Yorkshire Water is fitting new monitors which | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
will measure the amount of water in drains to stop a repeat. They'll | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
work with the council over the next year to pinpoint any areas which | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
could flood again. We seem to be getting exceptional events every | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
four or five years. It is something we need take up nationally because | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
the guidelines are the sewers must be designed for a one in 13 event | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
but one in 30 is happening every one in five. We need to move the | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
marker post. But for some this doesn't go far enough. Jonathon | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
Taylor had to fit a whole new kitchen. He thinks victims should | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
be compensated. We have had the flooding, the | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
heartache, the headaches. The property damage and sofa made it is | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
too late. These things should have been in place beforehand. Today's | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
recommendations still have to be agreed by the council's cabinet as | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
they'll decide how best to protect homes in the future. | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
The Cabinet will meet next week to discuss a host of recommendations | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
held in a report. One of the main ideas is agencies working more | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
closely together and that has already begun. A survey was | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
commissioned looking at the Suez, trains and ditches to pinpoint any | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
weak spots and defend and better in the future. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
And this might be another story you've got a view on. Maybe you | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
were affected by those floods last year - are you reassured by these | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
measures? Do you think more needs to be done to avoid a repeat, and | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
if so, what? As always, there's the email and text details for you now. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
And thanks for all of your tweets, emails, texts and phone messages on | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
our story about the Hull cyclist who's taken to filming every single | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
journey he takes. Simon Mason has spent hundreds of pounds on special | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
glasses with a camera attached. He's done it after becoming | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
concerned for his safety, in case he's involved in an accident. The | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
camera records everything he sees while out on his bike. There was a | :18:57. | :19:07. | |
:19:07. | :19:43. | ||
huge response last night's. Thank Winky for all of those. -- thank | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
you. Over the years it attracted stars like Michael Ball, Ben Elton | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
and Jim Davidson, but sixteen years ago The Ritz cinema and live venue | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
in Lincoln closed its doors. Since then, it's been used as a pub but | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
now a local community group has come forward and they want to | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
restore it to how it used to be, and it was pretty grand. Simon | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Spark has this. It's nearly 16 years since anyone | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
other than the owners have set foot in the old Ritz cinema on Lincoln's | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
High Street, and over that time it's badly deteriorated with just a | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
:20:21. | :20:23. | ||
few signs it was ever a cinema at all. You can see this is originally | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
where the seats would have been and the screen at the back. The frame | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
is still there for the screen but it is an empty shell. These are the | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
only three left. In the projection room there's an old diary logging | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
any problems with the films like oil on Jurassic Park and dirt on | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
the piano. But a return last year by the previous owners Barry and | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
Brenda Stead was a reminder of the stars that used to perform here. | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
The Colosseum in Rome, Gladiators ready for the spectacle! Look at | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
this stage. We had a few good nights here. Many good nights. | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
Every show was a spectacle. They were unique and enjoyed by so many | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
people. I would see the Hollies. remember the live shows. As you go | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
up the stairs, the pictures of the stars. Yes, lots of happy memories. | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
It's this strong sense of connection that's made Pete Genders | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
want to get the Ritz back to the way it was. And his intention is to | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
jointly use it as a community project. It is a big part of my | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
Chartered, my first kiss was here. My big love is for film. I thought | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
to reopen the centre would be a dream come true. It is not | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
something we can manage on their own. We do not have the funding to | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
completely renovated. We need people's health. So this is where | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
the work begins a large part of which will be finding the estimated | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
three quarters of a million pound it'll take before Lincoln will be | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
putting on the Ritz again. The producer told me she sought Trevor | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
and Simon and then she got to work with me. She has known suffering! | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
If you have any memories let us know. Hull City has confirmed Nick | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
Barmby as the club's permanent manager. Barmby took over as | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
caretaker boss in November when Nigel Pearson moved to Leicester. | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
He's since led the Tigers to six victories in 11 games. He says it's | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
a great honour to become manager of his home town club and he's looking | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
forward to the challenge. Grimsby Town hope to make it ten | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
unbeaten matches in a row tonight as they travel to Cambridge United | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
in the Blue Square premier. The Mariners beat Alfreton Town on | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
Saturday to move within eight points of the play-off places. | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Joint manager Rob Scott says tonight's opponents, who are two | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
places above them, will have something to prove. | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
It is a good test. We would like to see where we are from early in the | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
season. We did not play well, it was a different side in terms of | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
confidence. And how we will play. They went down to 10 men are so | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
they feel aggrieved it wasn't a fair reflection. And you can hear | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
full commentary of tonight's game on BBC Radio Humberside's FM | :23:19. | :23:26. | |

build up on Sportstalk which is on She hasn't been the Prime Minister | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
for more than 20 years but it seems Margaret Thatcher still has the | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
power to divide the country. The film The Iron lady is pulling in | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
the audiences down South but seems to be performing less well in more | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
Northern cities. So how is the film about Grantham's most famous | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
daughter going down in our part of the world? Emma Massey's been | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
finding out. The Right Honourable Gentleman | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
knows we had no choice but to close the school. Launched on Friday, The | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
Iron Lady tells the story of Margaret Thatcher's rise to power. | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
The union paymasters have called a strike deliberately to cripple the | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
economy. But the film seems to have split the country with a | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
north/south divide. In London it's playing to packed-out cinemas while | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
:24:39. | :24:40. | ||
in the north it's a very different story. Screen number five. Some | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
people remember when there was lots of unemployment in the 1980s and | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
they blame her and the government. With the miners' strike, it was a | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
defining point which has made people more antagonistic in the | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
north than the southerners. politics was massive. It stopped | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
many people working, there was trouble with the unions. They will | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
not support the film. Most of them are supporting Labour and always | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
will. Gentlemen, shall we joined the ladies? Deramore Labour | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
strongholds in the north who may not want to see anything to do with | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
Margaret Thatcher. They did not want to see it because of her it | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
was about. So Lady Thatcher may not have been in power since 1990 but | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
it seems she's still as divisive a character as ever. | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
That is the tone if we want to strike. Let's get a recap of the | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
national and regional headlines: London to Birmingham in 45 minutes | :25:46. | :25:51. | |

had to call the ambulance many times and the responses second to | :26:32. | :26:38. | |

over the end of my shift as a paramedic for the East Midlands and | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
the service nationwide is overstretched, not enough staff, | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
vehicles or money to meet demand. I do jobs in Nottingham when I work | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
