Now the latest from the Look North newsroom. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Security at the Humber Bridge is to be reviewed after teenagers | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
film themselves climbing 500 feet to the top of the tower. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
If they fell off from there, we wouldn't be looking | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
We'd have to recover somebody, and that's the last thing we need. | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
The tiny patch that could save stroke victims that's | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
What a dreadful day it's been, but a big improvement on the way for | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
tomorrow. Join me for the latest. A group of young men | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
who climbed 500 feet to the top of the Humber Bridge have been | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
condemned for risking their lives They posted a video on the internet | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
in which they were seen climbing the supporting cables | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
without ropes or safety gear. Matthew Bone is at | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
the Humber tonight. It was for climbers who, earlier | :01:06. | :01:19. | |
measures round here, because there and climbed right to the top of | :01:20. | :01:35. | |
are questions of the safety not just of the climbers but people who may | :01:36. | :01:35. | |
have been passing by underneath. This was more than | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
just a student prank. This is footage from the top | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
of the Humber Bridge taken by four so-called Urban Explorers - | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
and last night posted on social media by | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
19-year-old Harry Gallagher. Online, he's known as Night Scape, | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
and he's well-known But critics aren't so impressed, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
and see it as a part of a new trend of making money online by taking | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
extreme videos to attract If they fell off from there, | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
we wouldn't be looking We'd have to recover somebody, | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
and that's the last thing we need. There could be somebody genuine | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
on the river which is in trouble. In a statement, a spokesman | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
from the Humber Bridge Board said: Today, climbers at Hull's Rockcity | :02:15. | :02:30. | |
also condemned the stunt, saying that there are better | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
and safer ways to get Obviously, we are all harnessed up | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
when we are on the ropes, which does make it really safe, | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
whereas the daredevils obviously didn't have any harnesses | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
while they were 500 feet in the air. Going that extra mile to take | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
pictures of yourself Statistics suggest that it's led | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
to the deaths of 49 people globally since 2014, | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
of whom 75% were men and half Humberside Police say they're now | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
working with the Humber Bridge Board to review security, | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
but are reminding people just how dangerous taking | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
this sort of footage is. When it comes to questions of police | :03:11. | :03:25. | |
action here, we understand that is unlikely because it would depend on | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
evidence of criminal damage, which we don't believe to have taken | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
place. It's hard to underestimate just how dangerous this was, not | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
just for the climbers but for people below. It could have caused a | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
serious traffic accident on the bridge, or if the climber had fallen | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
into the water, the emergency services would have been called out | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
and been unable to attend another emergency at the time. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Matthew, thank you. Sergej Komkov from Hull explores | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
abandoned buildings which are often He gave me his view of the teenagers | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
who climbed the bridge. Looking at the video, | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
I think they looked very young for the age to be experienced | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
to climb any heights But you do the same sort | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
of thing, don't you? You go into derelict | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
buildings, old buildings? I think it's a difference | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
into going into a derelict building and something called roofing, | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
because what they have done is roofing, from the word "roof", | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
so being high up, and urban exploration is more going into sort | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
of crumbling, abandoned buildings. But you've been into old buildings | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
like the old Clarence sandmill, where you could have had an accident | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
or fallen down, and people watching will be saying, | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
it's just irresponsible. I think I would be the person | :04:46. | :04:45. | |
to kind of be responsible after that if charges were to be | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
pressed against me, Do you think about the risks | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
involved when you are I think it's because we all express | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
ourselves in one way or another, I record it with my camera, | :04:56. | :05:05. | |
both the interior and exterior. These guys on the top of the bridge, | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
would they have got a buzz from it? Yes, I think so, because they do | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
have obviously their social network page, where they share it, | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
they get likes. And I think that is kind of | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
a big push as well to this, because they get thousands | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
of people following them. Are you worried about getting caught | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
and being prosecuted? Just finally, what do you say | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
to those people watching who say that people like yourself and these | :05:32. | :05:45. | |
lads are being irresponsible, I think that one day their parents | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
will get a really sad phone call. Sergej, very good | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
to see you tonight. An ejection seat manufacturer has | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
denied breaching health and safety regulations following the death | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
of a Red Arrows pilot. Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
died after being ejected from his aircraft at RAF | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
Scampton in 2011. This morning, Martin Baker | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Aircraft Ltd pleaded not guilty The trial is due to start | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
in January next year. A woman accused of hitting her | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
stepdaughter with a hammer has Jennifer Harrison, who's 30 and seen | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
here in a wheelchair, is accused of hitting the girl | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
at their home in Bempton. Her partner, Deborah Harrison, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
the girl's mother - seen walking - Today, Jennifer told | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Hull Crown Court she loved the girl. But the prosecution accused | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
her of being jealous The NHS in Lincolnshire says | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
the majority of GP practices in the county are back to normal | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
following the cyber attack. NHS computers were shut down | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
by a virus on Friday. Doctors have got back | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
into clinical systems, but are asking people to be patient | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
as some are still slow. Council tip workers in Boston | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
had to call in the bomb squad for a second time, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
after World War Two explosives were dumped | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
by members of the public. A controlled explosion | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
was needed to get rid of the shells at a recycling centre | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
in Boston last week. Lincolnshire County Council says | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
people should call the police if they want to dispose | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
of ammunition. A tiny patch, like a sticking | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
plaster, could save the lives of people who have a stroke, | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
and now a trial of them in Lincolnshire is spreading to | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
the ambulance service in Yorkshire. Around 40,000 people | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
in the UK die as a result of a stroke every year, | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
as our health correspondent, Just like a fire, | :07:47. | :07:47. | |
it's time to call 999... Every minute counts | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
when you have a stroke. The faster you act, the more | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
of the person you save. Now, almost 50 paramedics | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
in Lincolnshire - like Marc - have been equipped with | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
a revolutionary new stroke treatment, and it's all | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
contained in one tiny patch. 5 mg of GTN, life-saving | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
drug, 39p per patch. Place that onto the shoulder | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
blade of the patient. They won't feel anything | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
at all, it will just be as if we were applying | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
a normal plaster. So the drug will be absorbed | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
into the skin, and the best way to try and describe it is the artery | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
as a vessel. If a blood clot gets | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
trapped in that artery, this medication will allow that | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
artery to open, it vasodilates, which will hopefully free the clot, | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
if it's free-moving. The drug GTN which is contained | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
in these patches is already used to help heart patients, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
because it's been shown to help lower blood pressure | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
and open up blood vessels. And it's hoped the use of these | :08:49. | :08:49. | |
patches could help double survival A stroke occurs when the blood | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
supply to part of your brain is cut off, either through a clot, | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
or a burst blood vessel. Strokes can cause permanent | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
disability in around And not everyone will survive - | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
around 1 in 8 will die within 30 days of having a stroke. | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
For stroke survivors, like Jim Howard, from Hull, | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
the new treatment offers real hope. Any thing that will help the patient | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
who's had the stroke before he gets But before this treatment can be | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
more widely adopted - Marc and other paramedics need | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
to recruit many more stroke patients to the trial so their recovery can | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
be monitored over 12 months. Early results, though, | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
suggest the patches Vicky Johnson, | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
BBC Look North, Lincoln. What an absolute wash-out it has | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
been today, but tomorrow However, some uncertainty | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
about Friday's forecast. There is Thursday's little | :10:04. | :10:12. | |
ridge there, but Friday, we could well see more rain | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
pushing up from the south. That rain eventually | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
clearing out of the way. The sky slowly clearing | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
from the west, and we will see temperatures around 8 or 9 | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
at the lowest. So, a much better day on Thursday - | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
that little ridge of high pressure That sunshine lasting | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
through the afternoon. A bit more cloud, | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
the risk of one or two showers, The risk of more rain | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
to come on Friday. showers. But it will be a bit | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
warmer. Before today, many gardeners were | :10:46. | :11:16. | |
crying out for rain. Some of the those garden may now be water | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
logged. And Lincolnshire was one of wettest places with 40 millimetres. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
That is nearly a month's worth of rain in 24 hours. Some difficult | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
travelling conditions. Some parts of north-west England stayed dry. This | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
was the main rain-maker. It is pulling away. Tomorrow a day | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
sunshine and showers and that freshing feeling air will filter | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
into those parts that were muggy today. It was 25 Celsius in Kent. A | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
different feel, but still pleasant when the sun appears tomorrow. Still | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
some rain in the east of England. Become light and patchy tonight. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Clearer in the north and west. Still the odd shower in Northern Ireland, | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
Scotland and Wales and western England. Turning | :12:06. | :12:06. |
