Injured climber describes 70 foot fall and precarious climb back to safety, plus we're live in Rotherham and Walsall in a local election round up.

A climber who fell around 70 feet down a crevasse in the Himalayas says he could have lost his life at any moment as he made the painfully slow and precarious climb back to safety. Dr John All was collecting snow samples  when he fell on the climb of Mount Himlung - near Everest. It took Dr All around 5 hours to crawl back up the crevasse - with a broken arm, broken ribs smashed knees, severe cuts and acute bruising. At the same time he managed to film himself so that his family would have a record of what happened to him. Plus latest in England local election results.
