Dramatic footage emerges of family being winched to safety after being trapped by rising water in North Yorkshire. They were believed to have been paddling in the River Ure when they were washed out by a sudden surge of water, caused by heavy overnight rain. They clung to a tree for safety as the children's father looked helplessly from the river bank and rescuers said the trio were lucky to be alive.

Station manager, Ben Cairns of North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue,said: "It could have been very, very tragic. The river was rising very, very quickly."

Miraculously no one was injured. Report by Sarah Kerr.
