Episode description

Fires are still burning on two ships which collided off the East Yorkshire coast. A Portuguese-flagged cargo ship, carrying fifteen containers of highly toxic sodium cyanide, struck an American oil tanker. Thirty-seven crew members from the ships have been brought safely ashore but one crew member remains missing. The American ship was carrying aviation fuel, some of which is pouring into the sea.

Also in programme: we assess whether the Government’s new planning legislation can placate residents’ concerns about housing developments and electricity pylons; and as the head of the UK's security industry calls for the word "bouncer" to be kicked out, we'll explore the word's history with Countdown's Susie Dent.
