:00:10. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

:00:12. > :00:17.Security at the Humber Bridge is to be reviewed after teenagers

:00:18. > :00:21.film themselves climbing 500 feet to the top of the tower.

:00:22. > :00:34.Firstly they are idiots. I am live at the bridge as critics call the

:00:35. > :00:35.stunt reckless. An ejection seat manufacturer denies

:00:36. > :00:38.breaching health and safety regulations following the death

:00:39. > :00:40.of a Red Arrows pilot. The tiny patch that

:00:41. > :00:42.could save stroke victims The earlier we are able to treat

:00:43. > :01:06.them the better. Labour heavyweights in Lincoln

:01:07. > :01:09.as the party commits to scrapping A century after the First World War,

:01:10. > :01:13.an East Yorkshire soldier killed at the Battle of the Somme

:01:14. > :01:22.is finally laid to rest. It has been a witness the wash-out

:01:23. > :01:26.as forecast but a model should see an improvement. Join me for the five

:01:27. > :01:45.day forecast. -- tomorrow should see an improvement.

:01:46. > :01:48.A group of young men who climbed 500 feet to the top

:01:49. > :01:51.of the Humber Bridge have been condemned for risking their lives

:01:52. > :01:55.A video posted on the internet shows them balancing on the cables

:01:56. > :02:00.Security at the bridge is now being reviewed but police say no

:02:01. > :02:03.Crispin Rolfe is at the Humber Bridge, Crispin,

:02:04. > :02:06.the bridge has become the latest international landmark to be scaled,

:02:07. > :02:15.Once upon a time people might have researched during this safely but

:02:16. > :02:20.now it seems to be a growing trend in seeking attention and even

:02:21. > :02:27.generating income by videos online. Those young men from London skilled

:02:28. > :02:31.at the top of the Southbridge. There are obvious issues over safety not

:02:32. > :02:35.just for them for anybody passing underneath. It is why the bridge

:02:36. > :02:38.board are keen to review security. This is footage from the top

:02:39. > :02:47.of the Humber Bridge taken by four so-called Urban Explorers and last

:02:48. > :02:49.night posted on social media We need to go now, man,

:02:50. > :02:55.it's getting bright. Online he's known as Night Scape,

:02:56. > :02:57.and is well known for But critics aren't so impressed

:02:58. > :03:02.and see it as a part of a new trend of making money online by taking

:03:03. > :03:06.extreme videos to attract If they fell off from there,

:03:07. > :03:14.we wouldn't be looking There could be somebody genuine

:03:15. > :03:23.on the river which is in trouble. In a statement a spokesman

:03:24. > :03:31.from the Humber Bridge said. There's cameras on the top

:03:32. > :03:56.and literally they were fine Climbers condemned the stunt saying

:03:57. > :04:00.that the better and safer ways. We are all harnessed up while as the

:04:01. > :04:05.daredevils had no harnesses. They were 500 feet in the air.

:04:06. > :04:07.Going that extra mile to take a selfie has

:04:08. > :04:11.Statistics suggest worldwide that more people die by taking them

:04:12. > :04:16.And it's thought that selfies have led to the deaths of 49 people

:04:17. > :04:18.globally since 2014, of whom 75% were men and half

:04:19. > :04:22.Meanwhile Humberside Police say they're now working

:04:23. > :04:28.with the Humber Bridge Board to review security,

:04:29. > :04:30.but are reminding people just how dangerous taking this sort

:04:31. > :04:47.We try to contact those but nobody has responded. Not from those

:04:48. > :04:52.responsible. Have they committed a crime? I'm told they have not but

:04:53. > :04:57.there are obvious concerns for the bridge board such as copycat

:04:58. > :05:01.incidents. They say it is largely impossible for anybody scaling the

:05:02. > :05:05.bridge the really don't want the likes of the stunt being sent all

:05:06. > :05:09.around the world and when you think that 160,000 people have viewed this

:05:10. > :05:15.online on you Tube ready that will be of genuine concern for them.

:05:16. > :05:17.I spoke to Dr Theo Kindynis, a criminologist at

:05:18. > :05:19.Roehampton University who has researched urban exploration.

:05:20. > :05:21.I started by asking whether he admired the young men

:05:22. > :05:30.who climbed to the top of the Humber Bridge.

:05:31. > :05:37.Personally I don't particularly admire them. I can see why some

:05:38. > :05:42.people might. Large parts of the urban exploration subculture will

:05:43. > :05:47.condemn them alone perhaps not the reason you would think. Is this

:05:48. > :05:51.trespass of exploration? I don't see them as two mutually exclusive

:05:52. > :05:55.categories. One is a legal definition and the others perhaps a

:05:56. > :05:59.subcultural definition. As social media made these people more

:06:00. > :06:07.reckless in looking for even better pictures? Yes. The competition to

:06:08. > :06:11.gain more likes and more followers and more fame through these social

:06:12. > :06:16.media channels, this kind of following comes from these kind of

:06:17. > :06:22.viral images and groups like this seek to capture them. The impetus is

:06:23. > :06:28.to engage in more reckless behaviours and getting clicks online

:06:29. > :06:34.and so on. They call themselves a rooftop is. Dangling their feet over

:06:35. > :06:38.the edge. Is that for their excitement and adrenaline at the

:06:39. > :06:44.time for us when they put it online? This is a tension that runs through

:06:45. > :06:46.the subculture itself and perhaps different individuals participating.

:06:47. > :06:52.Again I don't think they're mutually exclusive but I will say that more

:06:53. > :06:56.and more of these social media platforms incentivise people to

:06:57. > :07:02.engage in these kind of image centric varieties. For me dangling

:07:03. > :07:08.your feet over the edge of a rooftop is something you would do funeral

:07:09. > :07:14.experience. Are you worried it will end up with a couple of hundred

:07:15. > :07:17.thousand views and there will be copycats? Potentially. These are not

:07:18. > :07:22.the first group to climb on this bridge and it probably won't be the

:07:23. > :07:30.last. It will be a lot harder in future and potentially they could

:07:31. > :07:32.encourage other less experienced young people to engage in what is

:07:33. > :07:43.clearly quite a reckless activity. What do you think of the people

:07:44. > :07:46.who climbed the bridge? No crime has been committed

:07:47. > :07:48.according to the police. Or is this something

:07:49. > :08:25.you can't prevent? Later on I will be talking to an

:08:26. > :08:34.urban explorer in the late programme.

:08:35. > :08:37.More than five years after the death of a Red Arrows pilot -

:08:38. > :08:39.an ejection seat manufacturer will go on trial, charged

:08:40. > :08:42.Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham died after being ejected

:08:43. > :08:44.from his aircraft at RAF Scampton in 2011.

:08:45. > :08:50.It is now five and a half years since Flight Lieutenant Sean

:08:51. > :08:53.Cunningham died after being ejected from his Red Arrows Hawk jet.

:08:54. > :08:56.It happened during pre-flight checks - while it was on the ground -

:08:57. > :09:00.here at RAF Scampton in November 2011.

:09:01. > :09:06.This morning the ejection seat manufacturer -

:09:07. > :09:10.Martin-Baker Aircraft Company Ltd - entered a NOT guilty plea -

:09:11. > :09:17.at Lincoln Crown Court - to a charge under the Health

:09:18. > :09:26.Now - Flt Lieutenant Cunningham's family were at today's hearing -

:09:27. > :09:28.which took place just a few miles from here.

:09:29. > :09:32.Following the not guilty plea - the company will now go on trial.

:09:33. > :09:35.It's due to start on the 22nd January next year -

:09:36. > :09:46.and is expected to last four to five weeks.

:09:47. > :09:48.A social worker who lied about visiting two children

:09:49. > :09:51.who were potentially at risk of harm has been struck off.

:09:52. > :09:53.Trudy Taylor was employed as an agency social worker

:09:54. > :10:02.for Lincolnshire County Council until 2015.

:10:03. > :10:05.Council tip workers in Boston had to call in the bomb squad

:10:06. > :10:08.for a second time after world war two explosives were dumped

:10:09. > :10:14.A controlled explosion was needed to get rid

:10:15. > :10:16.of the shells at recycling centre in Boston last week.

:10:17. > :10:19.Lincolnshire County Council says people should call the police,

:10:20. > :10:29.if they want to dispose of ammunition and shells.

:10:30. > :10:32.A woman accused of hitting her step daughter with a hammer has

:10:33. > :10:35.Jennifer Harrison, who's 30 is accused of hitting

:10:36. > :10:38.the girl 34 times at their home in Bempton near Bridlington.

:10:39. > :10:40.Her partner Deborah Harrison, the girl's mother,

:10:41. > :10:43.Both deny assault causing actual bodily harm.

:10:44. > :11:15.The trial at Hull Crown Court, continues.

:11:16. > :11:17.Litter and new private enforcement officers in Boston prompted a big

:11:18. > :11:20.Patrols have started and anyone caught littering

:11:21. > :11:24.So far thousands of pounds of penalties have been handed out.

:11:25. > :11:27.Alan says "If people were given the choice of a ?75 fine or half

:11:28. > :11:29.an hour litter picking I think people would opt

:11:30. > :11:32.If notices are issued, the litter remains."

:11:33. > :11:34.Jenny says "I think litter informant officers

:11:35. > :11:37.Armed with body cameras, then there is no argument."

:11:38. > :11:39.John in Lincoln says "The British have no personal pride

:11:40. > :11:43.Many European countries have exactly the opposite and have pride

:11:44. > :11:49.Tiny patch, like a sticking plaster, could save the lives of people

:11:50. > :11:52.who have a stroke - and now a trial of them

:11:53. > :11:59.in Lincolnshire is spreading to the Ambulance Service in Yorkshire.

:12:00. > :12:01.Around 40,000 people in the UK die as a result

:12:02. > :12:03.of a stroke every year, and it's hoped the stick

:12:04. > :12:06.on patches will reduce that, as our health correspondent,

:12:07. > :12:12.T - Time, just like a fire, it's time to call 999...

:12:13. > :12:14.Every minute counts when you have a stroke.

:12:15. > :12:23.The faster you act, the more of the person you save.

:12:24. > :12:24.Now almost 50 paramedics in Lincolnshire like Mark

:12:25. > :12:27.have been equipped with a revolutionary new stroke treatment

:12:28. > :12:29.and it's all contained in one tiny patch.

:12:30. > :12:49.Place that onto the shoulder blade and it won't feel anything.

:12:50. > :12:51.The drug will be absorbed into the skin and the

:12:52. > :12:54.best way to try and describe it, is the artery as a vessel.

:12:55. > :12:57.If a blood clot gets trapped in that artery,

:12:58. > :13:00.this medication will allow that artery to open and dilate which will

:13:01. > :13:02.The drug, GTN, which is contained in these

:13:03. > :13:05.patches is already used to treat heart patients because it has been

:13:06. > :13:08.shown to help lower blood pressure and open up blood vessels.

:13:09. > :13:10.It's hoped the use of these patches could help

:13:11. > :13:12.double the chances of survival among stroke patients.

:13:13. > :13:16.A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of

:13:17. > :13:18.your brain is cut off either through a clot

:13:19. > :13:24.Strokes can cause permanent disability in around a quarter of

:13:25. > :13:28.patients and not everyone will survive.

:13:29. > :13:32.One in eight will die within 30 days of having a stroke.

:13:33. > :13:35.Stroke survivors like Jim Howard from Hull, the new treatment

:13:36. > :13:42.Anything that will help the patient who has had a stroke

:13:43. > :13:59.before he gets into the hospital is a good thing.

:14:00. > :14:10.Before this treatment can be widely adopted many more stroke patients

:14:11. > :14:21.need to be recruited to the trial so results can be monitored. LA results

:14:22. > :14:26.suggest that the treatment can cut down the problems.

:14:27. > :14:28.Still ahead tonight: Lincoln welcomes some Labour heavyweights

:14:29. > :14:34.they commit to scrapping student tuition fees.

:14:35. > :14:37.A century after World War I, an East Yorkshire soldier killed

:14:38. > :14:57.at the Somme is finally laid to rest.

:14:58. > :15:26.How could you doubt my forecast? It looks much better and a vast

:15:27. > :15:31.improvement on today's wash-out. Just the chance of one or two

:15:32. > :15:35.showers. The weather has already bought over an inch of rain at

:15:36. > :15:38.Holbeach and 30 millimetres more to come in the next few hours. Ridge of

:15:39. > :15:42.high pressure on Thursday means many of us will be fine and the weather

:15:43. > :15:47.develops another wave and maybe we see more rain coming through for a

:15:48. > :15:51.time on Friday. Now there's a weather front that has brought all

:15:52. > :15:55.the heavy rain across most parts of East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and

:15:56. > :16:01.it is still what is at the moment so lots of problems with surface spray

:16:02. > :16:06.on the roads. For the period times. -- further heavy rain at times. It

:16:07. > :16:12.clears the coast in the second Ave of the night and we will see

:16:13. > :16:15.temperatures down to seven degrees eight Celsius. The sun rises at just

:16:16. > :16:20.before five o'clock and your next hide what time and whole Victoria

:16:21. > :16:30.Dock is at 36 minutes past 11 in the morning. -- Hull. A dazzling start

:16:31. > :16:34.with clear blue skies and sunshine in the morning and it stays bright

:16:35. > :16:38.through the morning. Sunny spells and just the chance of one or two

:16:39. > :16:42.spells breaking out. It will feel quite one in the sunshine after a

:16:43. > :16:48.fairly chilly start and a light westerly wind means temperatures

:16:49. > :16:51.around 17 Celsius. Some uncertainty about the forecast on Friday but

:16:52. > :16:53.there is a risk of further show the outbreaks of rain for a time. The

:16:54. > :17:09.weak bright sunshine and the rest The man who hopes to be in charge

:17:10. > :17:13.of the UK economy if Labour win the general election has been

:17:14. > :17:15.campaigning in Lincoln - with a message to try

:17:16. > :17:24.to win over young people. John McDonnell told a crowd

:17:25. > :17:26.that his party would SCRAP The Conservatives say

:17:27. > :17:30.that's unaffordable More from our Political

:17:31. > :17:39.Editor, Tim Iredale. If Labour when the election next

:17:40. > :17:45.month He's the man who will be in charge

:17:46. > :17:48.of the nation's finances if Labour win the general election and this

:17:49. > :17:50.lunchtime Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has been in Lincoln

:17:51. > :18:06.to set out some of the policies we do not believe young people

:18:07. > :18:11.should be saddled with debt for the rest of lies. Tuition fees were

:18:12. > :18:17.injuries by Tony Blair 's Labour Government in 1998 and students

:18:18. > :18:21.played ?1000. This was travelled in 2006 and travelled again under the

:18:22. > :18:29.Coalition Government in 2012 is, the cap on fees made ?9,000. Going to

:18:30. > :18:35.uni is a massive thing and the last thing you need is to worry about

:18:36. > :18:39.this ?9,000 debt. It makes a lot of people's lives a lot easier. Where

:18:40. > :18:46.will they get the funding from? It seems unrealistic to say free

:18:47. > :18:50.tuition for everyone. I am concerned about a lowering of the standards

:18:51. > :18:53.because a lot of the money that goes on to tuition fees goes into the

:18:54. > :18:58.facilities and by increasing the facilities they get a lot more

:18:59. > :19:02.funding. It is easy to see why Labour I targeting university cities

:19:03. > :19:05.such as Lincoln with the promise to scrap student fees at the party 's

:19:06. > :19:11.opponents insist they have got the figures wrong. They have not been

:19:12. > :19:15.very good with figures with John McDonnell and Diane Abbott. I don't

:19:16. > :19:19.think she will get very far with any interviews with Co down. I don't

:19:20. > :19:23.think the figures add up at all and I think very quickly develop out

:19:24. > :19:28.yesterday. It is going to cost ?11 billion. There were some time how

:19:29. > :19:32.you will pay for it. That might give you some idea. We have brought out a

:19:33. > :19:42.fully costed programme and are saying there will be increases in

:19:43. > :19:50.income tax for the fop 5% errors. -- top 5%. The Liberal Democrats led to

:19:51. > :19:55.pledge more money for school. There was nothing on tuition fees. I

:19:56. > :19:56.remind some would say election pledges are often washed away by the

:19:57. > :20:04.harsh realities of power. And this is the full

:20:05. > :20:06.list of candidates for the Lincoln Constituency

:20:07. > :20:08.for the general election The NHS says that almost all GP's

:20:09. > :20:16.practices in Lincolnshire are back to 'business as usual'

:20:17. > :20:18.following Friday's cyber attack. Hospital appointments

:20:19. > :20:21.that were cancelled We've got an update

:20:22. > :20:29.on some of those affected. Steve Helmer from Nettleham was one

:20:30. > :20:32.of those whose story The cyber attack meant

:20:33. > :20:36.he was unable to find out how He's been told he'll be able to see

:20:37. > :20:40.a consultant tomorrow. Claire Hobday from Gainsborough

:20:41. > :20:42.had her radiotherapy interrupted for four days while staff worked

:20:43. > :20:44.to get computers Lincoln County Hospital were able

:20:45. > :20:49.to resume her treatment on tuesday and are going to make up

:20:50. > :21:05.for the sessions she missed. They said they would squeeze points

:21:06. > :21:10.in on Saturday the people. -- appointments. They said what time

:21:11. > :21:13.would you like to come and I think that is ground of them and I admire

:21:14. > :21:19.them for being able to do that and put it in place with everybody that

:21:20. > :21:24.mistake, just up myself. -- not just myself, obviously.

:21:25. > :21:29.Terry Garnett from Hull got in touch with us back in March to try to help

:21:30. > :21:40.She wanted WiFi internet installed at the hospital where she received

:21:41. > :21:48.Terry said his wife Beverley felt isolated when she couldn't call

:21:49. > :21:50.because of poor signal and the hospital having

:21:51. > :21:53.And she couldn't email because of a lack of internet.

:21:54. > :21:56.Well, now, The NHS Trust which runs Castle Hill hospital says cancer

:21:57. > :22:02.patients will have internet access by October.

:22:03. > :22:11.I think it will help people who are not on the war. Wives and husbands.

:22:12. > :22:15.I felt isolated being at home and wondering how Beverly was coping

:22:16. > :22:23.with it. I think it will make a lot of people have the lives easier. We

:22:24. > :22:24.were happy to More than a century after he died

:22:25. > :22:39.in the Great War, an East Yorkshire soldier has been laid

:22:40. > :22:42.to rest in France with full Private Henry Parker,

:22:43. > :22:44.whose family still live at Wansford near Driffield,

:22:45. > :22:47.was twenty-three when he was killed No picture of him remains,

:22:48. > :22:51.and his bones were only recovered These shall not grow all. 100

:22:52. > :23:08.service in France. These shall not grow all. 100 years

:23:09. > :23:14.after he was killed at the Battle Henry Parker was back

:23:15. > :23:22.with the Shropshire family and with his Yorkshire Regiment. At the

:23:23. > :23:26.cemetery in France he was buried with full military honours close to

:23:27. > :23:30.where he felt at the age of 23. The trenches were knee deep in mud and

:23:31. > :23:35.the combat stress quite unimaginable. No these young men

:23:36. > :23:45.carried out the exploits the dead and the bravery and determination is

:23:46. > :23:49.really quite remarkable. Private Parker was a member of The Yorkshire

:23:50. > :23:55.Regiment. A soldier like many from the First World War who had been

:23:56. > :23:59.listed as missing in action. In 2015 this Yorkshire regimental badge was

:24:00. > :24:02.found in France with human remains. At rear find which for one family

:24:03. > :24:15.back in Yorkshire was to end 100 years awaiting. Lovely. Through DNA

:24:16. > :24:22.testing organised by the Ministry of Defence casualties enter the human

:24:23. > :24:26.remains were matched to Henry 's great-nephew. Today he and other

:24:27. > :24:29.family members made the journey from East and north Yorkshire to see the

:24:30. > :24:39.long lost relative at last laid to rest. I think he would've been

:24:40. > :24:44.really proud. It is nice to look back and you see clippings of the

:24:45. > :24:49.parents and that they never got chance to say goodbye so further

:24:50. > :24:53.down the line family members have managed to do it. 500,000 British

:24:54. > :24:57.soldiers were lost in the First World War and still of no name the

:24:58. > :25:03.grave. For the family of private Henry Parker that is some comfort at
