Cornish communities battling to reclaim their homes after the | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
floods. You're left with nothing and | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
insurance probably are not as empathetic as they should be. It is | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
a big deal losing everything in a heartbeat. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
And a picture from the past to help build the future. Plans to recreate | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
one of the oldest places of worship in Britain move a step closer. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Two men have been remanded in custody, charged with an alleged | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
plot to attack and rob the Devon celebrity soul singer, Joss Stone. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Police seized weapons and maps indicating the location of her home | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
from a car after a tip off from the public. Simon Hall was at today's | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
hearing at Exeter Magistrates Court. The uncovering of the alleged plot | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
to attack and rob Joss Stone at her rural home in east Devon led to the | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
launching of a major police operation. A car was found, | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
containing maps of the area around her house, swords, knives and | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
balaclavas. Today, two men - Junior Bradshaw, who's 30, and Kevin | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Liverpool, who's 33 - appeared in court charged with conspiracy to | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
commit grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to rob. Both are from | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
Manchester. Court number of one here at Exeter magistrates was busy | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
with journalists. In a hearing which lasted for 45 minutes the | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
case against the two men was applied. Both spoke only to confirm | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
their names, addresses and dates of birth. Joss Stone has become an | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
international star and one of Britain's highest earning young | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
performers, said be rowed are worth �9 million. She's told her fans | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
she's fine and is carrying on with life. That includes preparations | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
for a European tour, due to begin next month. The men were told the | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
charges against him was so serious that they could only be dealt with | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
by a Crown Court. They are due to appear before Exeter Crown Court | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
for a preliminary hearing on Friday July 1st or stop Some residents | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
whose homes were severely damaged by flooding seven months ago say | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
they feel let down. The flash floods in mid Cornwall last | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
November affected more than 200 homes and 400 businesses. Although | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
many people have now returned to their properties, others say | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
they've had to battle with insurance companies. Louise Walter | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
has been to see them. 17th November 2010. The start of a | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
nightmare for many communities in Mid Cornwall. Seven months on, some | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
:03:10. | :03:11. | ||
people are still in it. This is Debbie Evan's living room, today. | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
Well, everything, the whole place has had to be gutted. We have had | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
no power, no heating, no floors, no ceilings, those stairs. So, quite a | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
:03:33. | :03:34. | ||
lot. This is a JCB in my front room. Debbie is a single mother and | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
throughout all this work she and her autistic children have been | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
living here. She says the work's taken longer because she's had to | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
battle with her insurance company, and ended up emplying her own loss | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
adjustor. It has been worth every East set can because it has taken | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
the pressure off me because they Halifax have not been the most | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
helpful insurance company in the world. The Halifax have agreed to | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
pay for the work, and say they are working closely with the | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
independent assessor. But in general Debbie says there's not | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
been the help there she's expected. People are interested when it first | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
happened but once the water has gone, nobody is really interested. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Looking anxiously at the rain is Carl Farlowe. He was lucky enough | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
to be back in his house after three months. In his cul-de-sac they've | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
taken the initiative in flood prevention. We have replaced the | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
train across Verona but to train in the corner. You have paid for the | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
share cells. Yes, we have. Like Debbie, he feels promises made at | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
the time have not been followed through. They come and get all | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
publicity and off they go. There is still help available for those | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
affected by the floods. The divinity fund says it still has | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
�7,000. Next week they will peak an event to help Trinity's be prepared | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
sure of the worst ever happen again. -- communities. A police officer | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
from Devon has been cleared of trying to falsely claim | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
compensation after being injured while arresting a suspect. A jury | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
at Exeter Crown Court found 41- year-old PC Anthony Cross not | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
guilty of fraud following the incident in Barnstaple last year. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
The jury is still considering a second charge of perverting the | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
course of justice following the same incident. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
People are being told not to swim off parts of Dawlish Town Beach | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
after the water there failed bathing quality tests. The | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Environment Agency has been carrying out further tests today. | :05:41. | :05:50. | |
Adrian Campbell is at the beach for us now. | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
It has been quiet on the beach at Dawlish today. People had been | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
concerned to see red flags and notices on the beach warning about | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
possible problems with bathing water quality standards. A lovely | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
day on Dawlish Town Beach. But unfortunately, the recent spell of | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
heavy showers has caused the problem and Teignbridge District | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
Council says this small section of beach has failed a routine | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Environment Agency test to ensure the water meets all the necessary | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
quality standards for swimming. did a sample test on Sunday, we do | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
care so pretend to 14 days as a regular occurrence with Environment | :06:32. | :06:41. | |
Agency. The test on Sunday, we think with heavy rainfall, has | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
caused a slight record of a pollutant. What we have done is | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
bathers temporarily not to bathe in the water. Today there were hopes | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
that the affected area close to the railway station could soon be | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
declared -- declared completely clear. The Environment Agency has | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
taken follow-up samples and the results should be known tomorrow. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
Visitors were surprised to know about the news. I love this place, | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
and come back for another visit. have come down from the Midlands | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
and I always thought down here was clean and spot was. It is quite | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
surprising. If I had children with me, after reading this site, I | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
would be a bit wary. South West Water told us that they have come | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
to clear a blockage close to the beach today but they are stressing | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
this has nothing whatsoever to do with the sample taken on Sunday. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Teignbridge District Council says the sign it will remain in place | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
until the next water sample result passes the necessary standards. No | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
one from South West Water has been available for interview but they | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
did say that the problems can relate to recent storms. They said | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
next week they are going to begin an online trial. They will be put | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
information on their website giving people the latest information about | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
possible overflows on the system. The Government is facing calls from | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
its own backbenches to take more radical action to bring fuel prices | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
down. Our political editor, Martyn Oates, joins us now. What is the | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
Government now being asked to do? This emerge from the debate tabled | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
by the Conservative MP for Harlow in Essex. He said they should not | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
be any more fuel duty increases for the rest of Parliament. He says | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
when the price of oil comes down, the fuel company should be given a | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
clear choice to bring down the price for motorists for the | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
government would threaten them on the windfall tax for their profits. | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
This is one of the real bugbears for people, that when the basic | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
price of oil comes down, the price of the punt does not seem to follow | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
suit. He says the government should create a commission to look into | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
why this happens and also to look at possible alternatives. | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
government is already working on a scheme to bring down fuel prices in | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
rural areas. This is the so-called rural fuel rebate, which monitors | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
have been talking there since the election. This could cut 5p a litre | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
from fuel bills in rural areas. The government wants to trial it in | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
remote island off the coast of Scotland and down here in the Isles | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
of Scilly. But it is a slow-burning project because to go ahead with | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
the pilot itself, the government needs permission from the EU, which | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
it is waiting for. 26 towns have entered a competition | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
to be granted city status - two of them in the South West. St Austell | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
in Cornwall and Dorchester in Dorset have both entered. The Queen | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
will grant city status to one of them as part of celebrations for | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
her Diamond Jubilee. The result will be announced next year. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
People are being asked not to visit patients in Torbay and South Devon, | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
to help prevent the spread of norovirus. Torbay Care Trust says | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
three wards in Torbay Hospital have been affected by the bug. Paignton | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
Community Hosiptal, and one ward at Newton Abbot Community Hospital | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
have been closed to new admissions. Hundreds of patients in Devon and | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Cornwall will benefit from a new 3D heart scanner which is now being | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
used at Plymouth's Derriford hospital. The �100,000 scanner | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
gives surgeons a window into the heart to see what's wrong and where | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
they need to make repairs. John Henderson was in theatre this | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
morning to see the scanner at work. This is a 3D colour image of a | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
heart. But it's a heart that's not working properly. This is the area | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
of the Gulf which simply should not becoming a bath that area. This | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
really is, for the first time, an ability to watch the valve in | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
action, right now, and show us what the problem really is. The 3D image | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
show's David Allen's heart. The 55- year-old Devonport dockyard worker | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
hasn't been well for some time. Uncomfortable Sundays and Sunday is | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
not to put. I get and there will be short of breath, depends what kind | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
of manual work I am to in. And I also want to improve my life if I | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
can. So today's he having surgery, but first he needs a scan. And this | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
is where the new 3D echo machine comes in. Bought by the British | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Heart Foundation and HeartSwell South West charities for �100,000, | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
it offers surgeons at Derriford instant and much improved diagnoses. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
These are amazing pictures which are giving me an idea that I would | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
never have previously been able to see before. This will be at big | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
advantage to our practice and hoppers to develop further our | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
techniques for repair and help patients in the longer term. They | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
have done the scan and it has gone very well and now they are about to | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
start surgery. David, then, the first of many in the South West to | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
benefit from the latest technology at Derriford. | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
Coming up; the plans to excavate one of the oldest Christian | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
buildings in mainland Britain. Plus, find out how this 150-year-old | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
Brunel tunnel is getting a new lease of life. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |

A plan to excavate an ancient chapel in Cornwall is a step closer | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. St appearance of a | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
tree at Perranporth is believed to be the oldest Christian building on | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
mainland Britain. It marks the site where Cornwall's saint built his | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
first place of worship around 1400 years ago. | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
St Piran's Oratory is a place of pilgrimage and celebration. Every | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
year on March 5th, St Piran so -- St Piran's day, enthusiastss make | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
their way across the sand dune, or towans, but when they arrive, there | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
is not much to see. To the side is the priest's house. In front of us | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
is the Oratory and that is it. These photographs from around 1900 | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
:13:50. | :13:54. | ||
show the small chapel surrounded by iron railings. Later, one of the | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
first reinforced concrete structures in the south-west was | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
built to protect what remained of fog was known as the lost church. | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
Years later, the concrete casing was described as a monstrosity and | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
fears that it could collapse or a reported on Spotlight in 1971. | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
There are fears that it would collapse. The thinking of the day | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
was that the best way to preserve their oratory was to remove it the | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
collapsing roof and fill the whole thing with sand. I am standing on | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
top of it now. Modern thinking is that that was a bad idea and the | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
weight of the sand could be collapsing the walls of the ancient | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
building. The St Piran distrust -- St Piran's Trust had been working | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
for years to get the building uncovered and preserved. The moment | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
is coming. We hope next year that everyone will join in and volunteer. | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
:15:01. | :15:02. | ||
You can come with a feel barrel, a towel, -- a travel, there is | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
something for everyone to help with. These days, the St Piran flag flies | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
all over the county. His story is one of myth, legend, a fact and | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Christian belief. The St Piran Trust hope his chapel will soon be | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
uncovered for all to see. This whole area is an area of special | :15:25. | :15:34. | |
scientific interest, so there are studies to be damned -- studies to | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
be work can begin. A rare black rhino who was born at Paignton Zoo | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
is moving on. The birth of Zuri was filled four years ago for BBC South | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
West's Inside Out programme and she became an internet star when the | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
pictures were beamed around the world. Zuri is going to Chester Zoo | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
where of a similar age. The draw for the first round of the Football | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
:16:12. | :16:14. | ||
League Cup has produced a local derby. Exeter City and Yeovil will | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
meet at St James's Park. Work is underway on a new cycle path | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
between Plymouth and Tavistock. It will follow the old Great Western | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
railway line through Brunel's 150- year-old Grenofen tunnel and | :16:28. | :16:38. | |
:16:38. | :16:38. | ||
viaduct. And the train leaves the valley... The old railway to | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
Tavistock. If you listen closely enough, you can still imagine the | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
ghosts of old locomotives. Most of the stonework is in pretty good | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
condition, but we will nearly 100 and -- nearly 50 years ago, the | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
last steam train thundered through this tunnel. Now it is finding | :17:05. | :17:15. | |
:17:15. | :17:16. | ||
Andrew RT Davies lease of life. ice is a crucial part of their -- a | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
new lease of life. It is a crucial part of the whole line. The sooner | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
it to be have realised a dream is to extend the Drakes trail. A brand | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
:17:41. | :17:43. | ||
new �2 million bridge will cross the Walkham. Built in 1859, as part | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
of his Great Western Empire, the tunnel will take cyclists and | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
walkers away from congested and often dangerous roads. This was | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
last used in the 1960s. It is a phenomenal project. We have made | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
great strides in Devon and we are committed to cycling. 26, to us all | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
off road. It will attract thousands of cyclists. -- 26 kilometres. | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
have managed to get the cream in... Brunel had a terrific Viaduct here. | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
One of the biggest in Devon. That was demolished in the early 1960s. | :18:31. | :18:40. | |
We are having to put up a new one. This bridge is the last part of the | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
chain. They are now pretty close to Tavistock. They are hoping to | :18:47. | :18:57. | |

important people there when you won? Absolutely. I was blown away | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
by the talent in the room. I had a great day just hearing everybody | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
else play. I think it should open some doors for me. There were some | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
great people who I have been inspired by. What is it about an | :19:40. | :19:48. | |
acoustic guitar or a particular that appeals to you? I just like | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
that you can do the baselines, the harmony lines all at once. Her has | :19:55. | :19:59. | |

here the piece you were judged on, Absolutely beautiful. What sort of | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
support are you getting from Plymouth University? They have been | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
fantastic. Just recently, I played the Vice Chancellor's address. That | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
was lovely. They have helped me to launch a CD of mind and put me up | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
to play University orchestral experiences. Where can people who | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
are watching tonight see you next? I am heading home to Bournemouth, | :22:36. | :22:46. | |

for coming in. Let's find out what Good evening to you. It is a fairly | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
wet and windy forecast. Good news for some of our gardeners. Wet and | :23:17. | :23:25. | |
windy weather over the weekend. It is already coming into parts of | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
west Cornwall. This is the main area of low pressure. That great | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
lump of cloud is heading straight towards us by the end of the night. | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
It is fairly fast moving initially, then it slows as it moves into | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
southern Britain. Not just wet weather, but strong winds as well. | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
By the time we get to Saturday, it has moved away. It will be brighter | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
on Saturday. A scattering of showers through the day. Sharp | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
showers on and off through the day today. They will continue for the | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
next few hours. We did have some sunshine on the south coast of | :24:10. | :24:20. | |
:24:20. | :24:21. | ||
Devon. Not too bad in the sunshine. Not too far away, there were some | :24:21. | :24:31. | |
:24:31. | :24:34. | ||
quite sharp showers. We had some hefty downpours of rain here. But | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
the nature of showers is a one village is a downpour, the next | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
remains dry. Those showers are beginning to wither away now. That | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
a shower activity will die down completely. But in the Far West, we | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
have got all this cloud and rain sweeping in. Those winds will begin | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
to increase as well. Overnight temperatures, no lower than about | :25:00. | :25:09. | |

10. Tomorrow, we have got this band of rain pushing through. It is | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
likely to be quite heavy for a couple of hours. The clearance | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
coming into the far west of Cornwall in the afternoon. Gusty | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
:25:33. | :25:33. | ||
winds. Temperatures at 14 or 15 degrees. Not really what we expect | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
to see for the month of June. A fairly cold and miserable day. For | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
the Isles of Scilly, the rain will be here early in the day. Then | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
later on, it will start to clear. Quite a gusty winds. For a time, | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
they could be gale-force. Then they will swing to the west and drop a | :25:58. | :26:08. | |
