Angler trapped after cliff fall

Emergency services are working to free an angler who fell 15 metres (50ft) when a Northumberland cliff top collapsed.
The man was fishing near Sandy Bay Caravan Park in Newbiggin when mud and rock gave way and he fell onto the beach below.
Coastguard teams with cliff rescue equipment, along with ambulance, fire and RNLI crews were called out.
The man, who is trapped at the foot of the cliff, is seriously injured.
Humber Coastguard Watch Manager Mike Puplett said: "Coastguard Rescue Teams on scene estimate that hundreds of tonnes of mud and rock have come away from the cliff side, making this is an incredibly difficult rescue, made worse by the atrocious weather conditions and limited accessibility to the area.
"With the tide coming in and the weather increasingly poor the Coastguard teams' extensive cliff rescue training and our close relationship with our other emergency services will be crucial in effecting a speedy recovering of the casualty."
