:00:19. > :00:21.A major emergency operation started this afternoon when members of the
:00:22. > :00:24.public reported the crash. The Jet Ranger aircraft started its flight

:00:38. > :00:41.going into the sea at Flamborough at 1.44 PM. Our correspondent Paul
:00:42. > :00:54.Murphy is at Flamborough. What happens now, Paul?
:00:55. > :01:05.Officers will be looking at the possible causes of this crash
:01:06. > :01:09.tomorrow. Before that, the helicopter has to be hoisted to a
:01:10. > :01:14.safer area before examination. They will be speaking to a number of
:01:15. > :01:21.people that watch this tragddy unfold. The call came just `fter
:01:22. > :01:27.half past one and it became clear that a helicopter flying just a few
:01:28. > :01:31.hundred yards off this causdd was in serious difficulty. Eyewitndsses
:01:32. > :01:38.reported hearing a change in its engine torn. Others said it was much
:01:39. > :01:42.more automatic. We had a cr`ck and be looked up and saw the helicopter
:01:43. > :01:48.descending almost like an ahrcraft descending down. At the nearby
:01:49. > :01:53.Flamborough golf club the crash was witnessed by several players, many
:01:54. > :01:59.of whom ran to the edge of the cliff to see if they could help. Xou hear
:02:00. > :02:04.the change of an engine and wonder if it is turning round are coming
:02:05. > :02:09.back but then I could see it was banking Britain slipping and then
:02:10. > :02:15.went down below the cleft. From what we understand it would've bden under
:02:16. > :02:21.water for a period of time that has now effectively lying on thd beach.
:02:22. > :02:32.The Coast Guard used winch `nd ropes to get down. The helicopter is now
:02:33. > :02:54.approximately 200 yards frol the cleft to the Mac `` clef. `cliff.
:02:55. > :02:58.The men have not been named but it is very probable they have been
:02:59. > :03:00.identified by the various rdcords of the flight.
:03:01. > :03:09.who reports a crime should dxpect a police officer to turn up at their
:03:10. > :03:11.home. The force says it needs to save ?31 million and that
:03:12. > :03:15.many cases can be dealt this over the phone. Our political edhtor Tim
:03:16. > :03:19.Long gone are the days when a family doctor would turn up at our homes to
:03:20. > :03:22.treat the mildest of ailments. So should we expect the polhce to
:03:23. > :03:24.guarantee a home response for every call they receive?
:03:25. > :03:40.That's the question being posed by Humberside's Chief Constabld Justine
:03:41. > :03:48.Scunthorpe's Westcliff Estate feel about not being guaranteed ` home
:03:49. > :04:02.I'd rather someone came out to reassure me. There's no good
:04:03. > :04:03.speaking over the phone. I would rather have an actual policd officer
:04:04. > :04:10.there is a sign of reassurance. The report on the future of
:04:11. > :04:15.Humberside Police published in full today, says we're ringing the police
:04:16. > :04:18.for the wrong reasons, like parking According to the report, out of
:04:19. > :04:31.600,000 calls to the switchboard There are 160,000 staff turn outs.
:04:32. > :04:48.But only 86,000 are necessary. You want to deal with crime at the
:04:49. > :04:57.end of a telephone. Whilst the public's being asked to
:04:58. > :05:00.change its expectations, thd force says it needs to reorganise to go
:05:01. > :05:03.where the demand and not have officers stationed by geogr`phy
:05:04. > :05:05.Police and Crime Commissiondr, Matthew Grove, has defended
:05:06. > :05:14.redesigning the force. Tonight I spoke to Humberside's
:05:15. > :05:18.Police Commissioner, I asked him if police have previously made home
:05:19. > :05:31.visits that weren't actuallx needed. Community to make sure that we
:05:32. > :05:35.respond in a way that meets the needs of the victims. But you want
:05:36. > :05:43.to have the number of visits, don't you? Give me a crime or you do not
:05:44. > :05:47.want to call. We do not want to have the visits. We want to make sure
:05:48. > :05:53.that we send officers only when the public need them. Our farmer police
:05:54. > :05:58.superintendent of your own force says that the public is being conned
:05:59. > :06:04.and this should not be deprhved of us visit by police. The public were
:06:05. > :06:08.being conned when somebody was pretending every crime was being
:06:09. > :06:15.investigated under the reign of that former police superintendent. He sat
:06:16. > :06:18.in a chair and told me. Then he was accepting something that was not
:06:19. > :06:23.true because I have sat in that chair and checked and that was not
:06:24. > :06:27.the case. But the main demand for policing in the East Riding is in
:06:28. > :06:34.Bedlington but most of the police officers whether Beverley. Why does
:06:35. > :06:41.that make sense for anybody in the East Riding?
:06:42. > :06:44.In tonight's football Scunthorpe United beat Coventry 2`1 and in the

:07:08. > :07:14.some rest and flogging placds, particularly over the hills. It will
:07:15. > :07:18.be very mild, though, from mid`September. Extensible code
:07:19. > :07:22.tomorrow and sky spouting a little bit better and will keep a lot of
:07:23. > :07:28.cloud with the rest of the shower. Highs around 18 degrees.
:07:29. > :07:32.Thanks for watching. We're back tomorrow night at the same time

:07:59. > :08:07.This cloud looks worse than it is. Glitching the extreme south-west
:08:08. > :08:12.overnight. Ahead of it we've got an easterly air flow. That low cloud
:08:13. > :08:16.that never cleared the North Sea coasts is pushing through the gaps,
:08:17. > :08:21.running on to high ground. We'll have clearer skies further west but
