Two men have died after a hdlicopter crashed into the sea off thd East

Yorkshire coast. A major emdrgency operation is still underway tonight

to recover the privately owned jet ranger aircraft. The accident

happened around lunchtime close to the cliffs at Flamborough, north of

Bridlington. The emergency services have recovered two bodies. Nobody

else was on board the private charter helicopter which had taken

off from an airfield near Edinburgh on its way to Retford. Well, our

correspondent Paul Murphy is on the cliffs at Flamborough now.

This rescue and recovery opdration has been going on all afternoon and

is now slowly winding down. Two bodies have been recovered from the

wreckage about 250 feet below the clifftop here. The police and no

just after half past one and it became clear that a helicopter

flying just a few hundred y`rds of this coast was in serious

difficulty. Some eyewitnessds had a change in the engine tone while

others said it was more dralatic. We had a crack and then saw thdir

helicopter descending almost like an aircraft. At the nearby golf club

the crash was witnessed by several players. Many ran to the clhff edge

mid`afternoon that this was clear dash it was an operation to recover

bodies and not to rescue thdm. Efforts are being made to identify

the men who died. What else do we know about the helicopter and the

two men who were on board? Hn terms of the journey, we understand that

this aircraft took off from an airport close to Livingston in

Scotland. The helicopter is a Bell jet Ranger. . It flew south through

dilemma airspace and was on its way to Humberside airport. It w`s going

there to refuel before conthnuing its journey down to rectify it in

Nottinghamshire ``to Retford. We do not yet know the circumstances of

the crash. We hope to establish that within the coming hours.

who reports a crime should dxpect a police officer to turn up at their

home. The force says it recdived 160,000 calls last year and of those

almost half were unnecessarx and could have been dealt with over the

phone or at the front desk of a police station. The force s`ys it

has to prioritise its response to save ?31 million over the

next five years. Our political editor Tim Iredale reports.

Long gone are the days when a family doctor would turn up at our homes to

treat the mildest of ailments. So should we expect the polhce to

guarantee a home response for every call they receive?

Humberside Police published in full today, says we're ringing the police

for the wrong reasons, like parking According to the report, out of

600,000 calls to the switchboard Whilst

the public's being asked to change its expectations, thd force

says it needs to reorganise to go where the demand and not have

officers stationed by geogr`phy Some feel that rural policing could

suffer under the changes. I want the assurance that residents in the East

Riding also get a decent service from the police.

Police and Crime Commissiondr, Matthew Grove, has defended

I asked if police had previously made home visits were not absolutely

necessary. Yes last year. The first thing the forested last year when we

got a call about a rape that had taken place. The first thing we did

was sent to officers renewed for rent at the door. They were

horrified because neighbours were asking them if they had had their

shared a broken into. Give le an example where a police officer

should not be required. We should not send uniform officers in every

sexual crime. We need to is CDs people in a place that is private to

them. But if you want to cut numbers from 160,000 to 80,000, these are

not just examples you have given. We do not want to cut them but we

simply point out that we cotld respond in a way that is better for

the victims and better for the public. Tell me about a crile where

you do not want to call. We do not want to have the visit but we want

to make sure that when the public do not want officers we make stre we do

not send officers. I myself was the victim of theft and the offhcer

turned up at 1030 at night H simply wanted to report the crime. I want

to make sure that we can send an officer more quickly to vulnerable

people because they are not wasting their time by going to placds where

they are not required. The public were being conned when somebody was

pretending that every crime was investigated under our formdr police

superintendent. He says it was and he sat in that she and told me that

was the case. I have checked and that was not the case but what was

the case is that I learnt that the main demand for policing in the East

Riding is in Bridlington but most of the police officers when Beverley.

How does that make sense for the East Riding?

What do you think of the suggestion there that some less serious crime

should be dealt with over the phone? Do you expect an officer to turn up

at your doorstep every time a crime is reported? Should we change the

way we view police, and accdpt that they have to prioritise mord serious

Look North last week that the "silent majority" of supporters had

Tigers. Last night those supporters found their voice. Fans protesting

against the change were loudly booed by their fellow supporters `t the

match against West Ham. It was the most obvious sign so far th`t the

name change is dividing fans. Phillip Norton reports from the KC

On the pitch the new signings made an instant improvement to the

team. Able and Anders opened the scoring. West Ham levelled hn the

second half before another new boy Mohammed Di army restored the lead.

It did not last long, Curtis Davies credited with an own goal after the

ball trickled into the net. Fans happy with the performance but much

who booed last night, why dhd you do it? Do you feel like the supporters

Still ahead tonight: Hundreds of children are encouraged to take up a

career in science at an event in Lincoln.

They just need to know that they can achieve this.

There has a lot of cloud and West. ``and mist. We have had 68

Fahrenheit weather cloud did it break but we still have adrhft from

the east and high pressure over Scandinavia and the Bay of Biscay.

That is why we will see quite a lot of low cloud and mist and fog

developed a night. Coastal `reas are already pretty grey and mistake and

coastal cloud cover is quitd a last lot of East Yorkshire. The sun will

rise just after half past shx tomorrow morning and your ndxt high

dull and misty and drizzly start tomorrow with the risk of one or two

showers. Skies will brighten slightly and might be a bit of

sunshine in places that alw`ys the risk of a shower. Letters h`ve a

to hundreds of school children today to try to inspire them to t`ke up

careers in engineering. Bushnesses say they need 1.8 million more

engineers by the end of the decade just to meet demand for skilled

workers. At RAF Scampton sole of the biggest companies in British

industry were showing youngsters what kind of jobs they could do if

they carried on studying schences and maths. Gemma Dawson has this

report. Among these schoolchildren could be

the engineers, scientists and I think it is really import`nt for

the new generations to see `nd to experience stuff first`hand,

particularly in the science and engineering fields so to cole here

today is brilliant. There are so many different

opportunities and different aspects of science and technology and so

much to look at, it is amazhng. We have been arch and learning about

civil engineering. Hopefullx the future will be bright for md. These

young people are hungry to find out where they are going and possibly to

validate the fact they are really interested in science and tdchnology

and engineering and the need to know that it is exciting and acttally

achievable. Engineering UK says that

87,000 new engineers are nedded 51,000 being recruited each year.

That's a shortfall of 36,000. So it's hoped events like this will

attract more young people into the We have a huge skills short`ge and

when I retire somebody needs to fill my shoes.

And what better way to insphre these pupils than a display by thd Red

Arrows, a team that relies on the work of

engineers to enable them to do this.

presenter Professor Brian Cox. I asked him if schools needed to do

more to make subjects like laths and physics more interesting for budding

I do not know because I am not at school but I know there is `n

increase in pupils wanting to do science and engineering so the

schools must be doing something right. We have a huge deficht in the

number of engineers that we need in the economy. We need 1 millhon more

engineers at all levels by 2020 so that is a big skills gap to fill.

Events like this help to fill it. Why are young people, particularly

girls, not going in for it? That is a problem there, isn't therd? That

is a problem in the sense that it is a demographic problem. The dngineers

tend to be at the older end of the spectrum and we have not bedn

replacing them but we are bdginning to do it now. It is events like this

that direct and students like these ones here come here because they are

science and science and enghneering and they see the range of c`reers

that are available to them. It might be a disgrace. It also might be

Rolls`Royce. You also have BAE Systems. It is all about showing

them that it is for them. Students are always stood in the big

questions but occasionally xou find that they think it is impossible to

get into these areas while hn fact we have just been discussing that

the reality is that there are more jobs at our people and all these

peoples, weather it be building spacecraft are building aircraft of

the next generation of comptters. The shortage of 1.8 million people

at the moment is an extraordinary shortage because it is a very secure

job at the moment, is it not? Yes, I said that the students. You do not

always choose your life by the most sensible sources and you often

choose it by inspiration. I find that the students will find for

themselves that whatever thdy are interested in this huge arr`y of

opportunities for them but there's a shortage of a sense of posshbility

and that is what we get thel with events like this.

to Chesterfield. Peter Swann has spoken out about his surprise and

disappointment at recent poor performances. He expects thd team to

step up when the Iron face hn`form Coventry at Glanford Park tonight.

We only have four points from 2 points. We do not want to bd down at

the end of the table for thd whole season and that was part of the

message from me. Let's not wait any longer and get on with it now.

And Scunthorpe United's match at home to Coventry will be on BBC

Radio Humberside on FM. The build`up is on the air now. Grimsby Town s

trip to Halifax is on AM, dhgital and the BBC Sport website. @nd BBC

Radio Lincolnshire have Lincoln City's match at Welling.

There has been good news for Cleethorpes FC who have thehr

goalposts stolen. We got a call last night from a local businesslan who

offered to pay for new goals so from being a television to within a

couple of the minutes, we h`d a problem solved which is fantastic

for the club and we are delhghted. An argument breaks out in Scotland

over weather it stays in thd union. A helicopter crashes with the death

of two men. Top temperatures tomorrow will be around 18 Celsius

which is 60 45 night. Let's go back to our top story now, the hdlicopter

crash on the east coast of Yorkshire. What happens now with

this investigation? Investigators will want to find out what the

aircraft was doing at the moments before it crashed. Coast Gu`rd is

busy speaking to us within the last two minutes. These are very

dangerous areas to be working and because of the overhanging cliffs at

the teams are specially trahned and there was a good effort to be able

to get a satisfactory concltsion. One of the challenges for the

investigation is getting access to this aircraft which lies about 00

feet below the clifftop herd at Flamborough. It is likely that the

two men have already been identified from passenger manifests from the

flight of the aircraft. Thehr families are still to be informed of

which is why they have not xet been named. There will be more from us at

25 past ten. A lively discussion with a crime can Mr about wdather

people should always get hole visits from the police. Natasha saxs that

all these changes are to save money and not to make police work better.

Police are looking to move of resources from the main are` to

rural areas. Sega says that it makes sense to ask victims if thex want

visitors rather than simply turning up and wasting the time of police

officers. I will see you at 25 past ten. Take care and good night.

There's so much more to this story than I thought. Wow.
