Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Security at the Humber Bridge is to be reviewed after teenagers | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
film themselves climbing 500 feet to the top of the tower. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Firstly they are idiots. I am live at the bridge as critics call the | :00:22. | :00:34. | |
stunt reckless. An ejection seat manufacturer denies | :00:35. | :00:35. | |
breaching health and safety regulations following the death | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
of a Red Arrows pilot. The tiny patch that | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
could save stroke victims The earlier we are able to treat | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
them the better. Labour heavyweights in Lincoln | :00:43. | :01:06. | |
as the party commits to scrapping A century after the First World War, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
an East Yorkshire soldier killed at the Battle of the Somme | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
is finally laid to rest. It has been a witness the wash-out | :01:14. | :01:22. | |
as forecast but a model should see an improvement. Join me for the five | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
day forecast. -- tomorrow should see an improvement. | :01:27. | :01:45. | |
A group of young men who climbed 500 feet to the top | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
of the Humber Bridge have been condemned for risking their lives | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
A video posted on the internet shows them balancing on the cables | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Security at the bridge is now being reviewed but police say no | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Crispin Rolfe is at the Humber Bridge, Crispin, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
the bridge has become the latest international landmark to be scaled, | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Once upon a time people might have researched during this safely but | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
now it seems to be a growing trend in seeking attention and even | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
generating income by videos online. Those young men from London skilled | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
at the top of the Southbridge. There are obvious issues over safety not | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
just for them for anybody passing underneath. It is why the bridge | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
board are keen to review security. This is footage from the top | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
of the Humber Bridge taken by four so-called Urban Explorers and last | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
night posted on social media We need to go now, man, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
it's getting bright. Online he's known as Night Scape, | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
and is well known for But critics aren't so impressed | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
and see it as a part of a new trend of making money online by taking | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
extreme videos to attract If they fell off from there, | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
we wouldn't be looking There could be somebody genuine | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
on the river which is in trouble. In a statement a spokesman | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
from the Humber Bridge said. There's cameras on the top | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
and literally they were fine Climbers condemned the stunt saying | :03:32. | :03:56. | |
that the better and safer ways. We are all harnessed up while as the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
daredevils had no harnesses. They were 500 feet in the air. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Going that extra mile to take a selfie has | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Statistics suggest worldwide that more people die by taking them | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
And it's thought that selfies have led to the deaths of 49 people | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
globally since 2014, of whom 75% were men and half | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Meanwhile Humberside Police say they're now working | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
with the Humber Bridge Board to review security, | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
but are reminding people just how dangerous taking this sort | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
We try to contact those but nobody has responded. Not from those | :04:31. | :04:47. | |
responsible. Have they committed a crime? I'm told they have not but | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
there are obvious concerns for the bridge board such as copycat | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
incidents. They say it is largely impossible for anybody scaling the | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
bridge the really don't want the likes of the stunt being sent all | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
around the world and when you think that 160,000 people have viewed this | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
online on you Tube ready that will be of genuine concern for them. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
I spoke to Dr Theo Kindynis, a criminologist at | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
Roehampton University who has researched urban exploration. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
I started by asking whether he admired the young men | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
who climbed to the top of the Humber Bridge. | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
Personally I don't particularly admire them. I can see why some | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
people might. Large parts of the urban exploration subculture will | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
condemn them alone perhaps not the reason you would think. Is this | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
trespass of exploration? I don't see them as two mutually exclusive | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
categories. One is a legal definition and the others perhaps a | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
subcultural definition. As social media made these people more | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
reckless in looking for even better pictures? Yes. The competition to | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
gain more likes and more followers and more fame through these social | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
media channels, this kind of following comes from these kind of | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
viral images and groups like this seek to capture them. The impetus is | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
to engage in more reckless behaviours and getting clicks online | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
and so on. They call themselves a rooftop is. Dangling their feet over | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
the edge. Is that for their excitement and adrenaline at the | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
time for us when they put it online? This is a tension that runs through | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
the subculture itself and perhaps different individuals participating. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Again I don't think they're mutually exclusive but I will say that more | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
and more of these social media platforms incentivise people to | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
engage in these kind of image centric varieties. For me dangling | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
your feet over the edge of a rooftop is something you would do funeral | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
experience. Are you worried it will end up with a couple of hundred | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
thousand views and there will be copycats? Potentially. These are not | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
the first group to climb on this bridge and it probably won't be the | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
last. It will be a lot harder in future and potentially they could | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
encourage other less experienced young people to engage in what is | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
clearly quite a reckless activity. What do you think of the people | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
who climbed the bridge? No crime has been committed | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
according to the police. Or is this something | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
you can't prevent? Later on I will be talking to an | :07:49. | :08:25. | |
urban explorer in the late programme. | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
More than five years after the death of a Red Arrows pilot - | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
an ejection seat manufacturer will go on trial, charged | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham died after being ejected | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
from his aircraft at RAF Scampton in 2011. | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
It is now five and a half years since Flight Lieutenant Sean | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
Cunningham died after being ejected from his Red Arrows Hawk jet. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
It happened during pre-flight checks - while it was on the ground - | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
here at RAF Scampton in November 2011. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
This morning the ejection seat manufacturer - | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
Martin-Baker Aircraft Company Ltd - entered a NOT guilty plea - | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
at Lincoln Crown Court - to a charge under the Health | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
Now - Flt Lieutenant Cunningham's family were at today's hearing - | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
which took place just a few miles from here. | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
Following the not guilty plea - the company will now go on trial. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
It's due to start on the 22nd January next year - | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
and is expected to last four to five weeks. | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
A social worker who lied about visiting two children | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
who were potentially at risk of harm has been struck off. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Trudy Taylor was employed as an agency social worker | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
for Lincolnshire County Council until 2015. | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
Council tip workers in Boston had to call in the bomb squad | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
for a second time after world war two explosives were dumped | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
A controlled explosion was needed to get rid | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
of the shells at recycling centre in Boston last week. | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
Lincolnshire County Council says people should call the police, | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
if they want to dispose of ammunition and shells. | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
A woman accused of hitting her step daughter with a hammer has | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Jennifer Harrison, who's 30 is accused of hitting | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
the girl 34 times at their home in Bempton near Bridlington. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Her partner Deborah Harrison, the girl's mother, | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
Both deny assault causing actual bodily harm. | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
The trial at Hull Crown Court, continues. | :10:44. | :11:15. | |
Litter and new private enforcement officers in Boston prompted a big | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
Patrols have started and anyone caught littering | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
So far thousands of pounds of penalties have been handed out. | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
Alan says "If people were given the choice of a ?75 fine or half | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
an hour litter picking I think people would opt | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
If notices are issued, the litter remains." | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
Jenny says "I think litter informant officers | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
Armed with body cameras, then there is no argument." | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
John in Lincoln says "The British have no personal pride | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
Many European countries have exactly the opposite and have pride | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Tiny patch, like a sticking plaster, could save the lives of people | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
who have a stroke - and now a trial of them | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
in Lincolnshire is spreading to the Ambulance Service in Yorkshire. | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
Around 40,000 people in the UK die as a result | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
of a stroke every year, and it's hoped the stick | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
on patches will reduce that, as our health correspondent, | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
T - Time, just like a fire, it's time to call 999... | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
Every minute counts when you have a stroke. | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
The faster you act, the more of the person you save. | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
Now almost 50 paramedics in Lincolnshire like Mark | :12:24. | :12:24. | |
have been equipped with a revolutionary new stroke treatment | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
and it's all contained in one tiny patch. | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
Place that onto the shoulder blade and it won't feel anything. | :12:30. | :12:49. | |
The drug will be absorbed into the skin and the | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
best way to try and describe it, is the artery as a vessel. | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
If a blood clot gets trapped in that artery, | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
this medication will allow that artery to open and dilate which will | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
The drug, GTN, which is contained in these | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
patches is already used to treat heart patients because it has been | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
shown to help lower blood pressure and open up blood vessels. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
It's hoped the use of these patches could help | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
double the chances of survival among stroke patients. | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
your brain is cut off either through a clot | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
Strokes can cause permanent disability in around a quarter of | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
patients and not everyone will survive. | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
One in eight will die within 30 days of having a stroke. | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
Stroke survivors like Jim Howard from Hull, the new treatment | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
Anything that will help the patient who has had a stroke | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
before he gets into the hospital is a good thing. | :13:43. | :13:59. | |
Before this treatment can be widely adopted many more stroke patients | :14:00. | :14:10. | |
need to be recruited to the trial so results can be monitored. LA results | :14:11. | :14:21. | |
suggest that the treatment can cut down the problems. | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Still ahead tonight: Lincoln welcomes some Labour heavyweights | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
they commit to scrapping student tuition fees. | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
A century after World War I, an East Yorkshire soldier killed | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
at the Somme is finally laid to rest. | :14:38. | :14:57. | |
How could you doubt my forecast? It looks much better and a vast | :14:58. | :15:26. | |
improvement on today's wash-out. Just the chance of one or two | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
showers. The weather has already bought over an inch of rain at | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
Holbeach and 30 millimetres more to come in the next few hours. Ridge of | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
high pressure on Thursday means many of us will be fine and the weather | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
develops another wave and maybe we see more rain coming through for a | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
time on Friday. Now there's a weather front that has brought all | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
the heavy rain across most parts of East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
it is still what is at the moment so lots of problems with surface spray | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
on the roads. For the period times. -- further heavy rain at times. It | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
clears the coast in the second Ave of the night and we will see | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
temperatures down to seven degrees eight Celsius. The sun rises at just | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
before five o'clock and your next hide what time and whole Victoria | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
Dock is at 36 minutes past 11 in the morning. -- Hull. A dazzling start | :16:21. | :16:30. | |
with clear blue skies and sunshine in the morning and it stays bright | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
through the morning. Sunny spells and just the chance of one or two | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
spells breaking out. It will feel quite one in the sunshine after a | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
fairly chilly start and a light westerly wind means temperatures | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
around 17 Celsius. Some uncertainty about the forecast on Friday but | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
there is a risk of further show the outbreaks of rain for a time. The | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
weak bright sunshine and the rest The man who hopes to be in charge | :16:54. | :17:09. | |
of the UK economy if Labour win the general election has been | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
campaigning in Lincoln - with a message to try | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
to win over young people. John McDonnell told a crowd | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
that his party would SCRAP The Conservatives say | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
that's unaffordable More from our Political | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
Editor, Tim Iredale. If Labour when the election next | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
month He's the man who will be in charge | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
of the nation's finances if Labour win the general election and this | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
lunchtime Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has been in Lincoln | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
to set out some of the policies we do not believe young people | :17:51. | :18:06. | |
should be saddled with debt for the rest of lies. Tuition fees were | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
injuries by Tony Blair 's Labour Government in 1998 and students | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
played ?1000. This was travelled in 2006 and travelled again under the | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Coalition Government in 2012 is, the cap on fees made ?9,000. Going to | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
uni is a massive thing and the last thing you need is to worry about | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
this ?9,000 debt. It makes a lot of people's lives a lot easier. Where | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
will they get the funding from? It seems unrealistic to say free | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
tuition for everyone. I am concerned about a lowering of the standards | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
because a lot of the money that goes on to tuition fees goes into the | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
facilities and by increasing the facilities they get a lot more | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
funding. It is easy to see why Labour I targeting university cities | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
such as Lincoln with the promise to scrap student fees at the party 's | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
opponents insist they have got the figures wrong. They have not been | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
very good with figures with John McDonnell and Diane Abbott. I don't | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
think she will get very far with any interviews with Co down. I don't | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
think the figures add up at all and I think very quickly develop out | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
yesterday. It is going to cost ?11 billion. There were some time how | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
you will pay for it. That might give you some idea. We have brought out a | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
fully costed programme and are saying there will be increases in | :19:33. | :19:42. | |
income tax for the fop 5% errors. -- top 5%. The Liberal Democrats led to | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
pledge more money for school. There was nothing on tuition fees. I | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
remind some would say election pledges are often washed away by the | :19:56. | :19:56. | |
harsh realities of power. And this is the full | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
list of candidates for the Lincoln Constituency | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
for the general election The NHS says that almost all GP's | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
practices in Lincolnshire are back to 'business as usual' | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
following Friday's cyber attack. Hospital appointments | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
that were cancelled We've got an update | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
on some of those affected. Steve Helmer from Nettleham was one | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
of those whose story The cyber attack meant | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
he was unable to find out how He's been told he'll be able to see | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
a consultant tomorrow. Claire Hobday from Gainsborough | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
had her radiotherapy interrupted for four days while staff worked | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
to get computers Lincoln County Hospital were able | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
to resume her treatment on tuesday and are going to make up | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
for the sessions she missed. They said they would squeeze points | :20:50. | :21:05. | |
in on Saturday the people. -- appointments. They said what time | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
would you like to come and I think that is ground of them and I admire | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
them for being able to do that and put it in place with everybody that | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
mistake, just up myself. -- not just myself, obviously. | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Terry Garnett from Hull got in touch with us back in March to try to help | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
She wanted WiFi internet installed at the hospital where she received | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
Terry said his wife Beverley felt isolated when she couldn't call | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
because of poor signal and the hospital having | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
And she couldn't email because of a lack of internet. | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Well, now, The NHS Trust which runs Castle Hill hospital says cancer | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
patients will have internet access by October. | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
I think it will help people who are not on the war. Wives and husbands. | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
I felt isolated being at home and wondering how Beverly was coping | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
with it. I think it will make a lot of people have the lives easier. We | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
were happy to More than a century after he died | :22:24. | :22:24. | |

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

and his bones were only recovered These shall not grow all. 100 | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
service in France. These shall not grow all. 100 years | :22:52. | :23:08. | |
after he was killed at the Battle Henry Parker was back | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
with the Shropshire family and with his Yorkshire Regiment. At the | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
cemetery in France he was buried with full military honours close to | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
where he felt at the age of 23. The trenches were knee deep in mud and | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
the combat stress quite unimaginable. No these young men | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
carried out the exploits the dead and the bravery and determination is | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
really quite remarkable. Private Parker was a member of The Yorkshire | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Regiment. A soldier like many from the First World War who had been | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
listed as missing in action. In 2015 this Yorkshire regimental badge was | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
found in France with human remains. At rear find which for one family | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
back in Yorkshire was to end 100 years awaiting. Lovely. Through DNA | :24:03. | :24:15. | |
testing organised by the Ministry of Defence casualties enter the human | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
remains were matched to Henry 's great-nephew. Today he and other | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
family members made the journey from East and north Yorkshire to see the | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
long lost relative at last laid to rest. I think he would've been | :24:30. | :24:39. | |
really proud. It is nice to look back and you see clippings of the | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
parents and that they never got chance to say goodbye so further | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
down the line family members have managed to do it. 500,000 British | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
soldiers were lost in the First World War and still of no name the | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
grave. For the family of private Henry Parker that is some comfort at | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
last. A great here in France where he | :25:04. | :25:03. | |
will be remembered by future generations of his family. He's back | :25:04. | :25:12. | |
home now. He was Yorkshire lad and a farmer. We are all farmers and he is | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
where he belongs. 100 years on a dignified end for this brave | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Yorkshire soldier. Tonight, finally at peace. | :25:22. | :25:34. | |
