Good evening and welcome to Spotlight. Complaints about the

:00:11.:00:17.

noise as England's largest onshore wind farm prepares to go online.

:00:17.:00:20.

The noise comes straight down the valley and it sounds like a giant

:00:20.:00:25.

cement mixer. It grinds. We'll hear more from North Devon and look at

:00:25.:00:29.

the future of renewable energy. Also tonight. A court appearance

:00:29.:00:33.

after an explosion at a house in Bodmin. A 49 year-old man is

:00:33.:00:37.

charged with arson and recklessly endangering life. And high-tech

:00:37.:00:47.
:00:47.:00:52.

Torbay, attracting more skilled workers to South Devon. The Defence

:00:52.:00:55.

Secretary has confirmed the Government's commitment to

:00:55.:01:02.

Devonport naval base. Philip Hammond was making his first

:01:02.:01:05.

Commons appearance in the new job when he gave the assurances to a

:01:05.:01:08.

Plymouth MP. Our political editor, Martyn Oates, joins us now. This

:01:08.:01:10.

follows the resignation of the previous Defence Secretary, Liam

:01:10.:01:16.

Fox? Oliver Colville seized the opportunity to ask Mr Hammond

:01:16.:01:23.

several questions, some of which are easier than others. Can I

:01:23.:01:27.

welcome the new Secretary of State for Defence and urge him to stay

:01:27.:01:31.

there as long as he possibly can because we need to break the cycle

:01:31.:01:35.

of permanently changing secretaries of state. And I thank you for

:01:35.:01:39.

agreeing to come to meet three Commando Brigade when they come

:01:39.:01:45.

back but also, ask at Plymouth will continue to remain at principal

:01:45.:01:51.

naval port in the defence of the country. This is what he said in

:01:51.:01:56.

reply... I am happy to do my best to remain in the post for as long

:01:56.:02:01.

as I can and he might address his plea to my friend, the Prime

:02:01.:02:07.

Minister. It is part of the government policy that Plymouth to

:02:07.:02:12.

remain one of the principal UK naval bases. So the general

:02:12.:02:17.

commitment. But what are the detailed concerns? The next issue

:02:17.:02:21.

is whether Plymouth or Portsmouth will be the base port for the

:02:21.:02:25.

generation of frigates. Realistically, that decision could

:02:25.:02:28.

be years away and following recent changes made by the Coalition, it

:02:28.:02:34.

will be made by the head of the Navy. Rather than ministers. Future

:02:34.:02:38.

secretaries are down to the Prime Minister but he will not want to

:02:38.:02:41.

find himself forced to appointing a new one soon. Thank you very much

:02:41.:02:50.

indeed. A man has appeared in court after an explosion and fire at a

:02:50.:02:53.

house in Bodmin. The property has been almost completely destroyed by

:02:53.:02:55.

the explosion. Today, 49 year-old Glen Heather was charged with arson

:02:55.:02:59.

and recklessly endangering life. Eleanor Parkinson reports. This is

:03:00.:03:03.

a fight that followed the explosion at the house on a housing estate in

:03:03.:03:06.

Boardman. Neighbours had to leave their homes, some of them for the

:03:06.:03:10.

whole night, because of fears of further explosions. By morning

:03:10.:03:14.

there was little left. And fire crews were unable to get into the

:03:14.:03:20.

building for some time because it was judged unsafe. Today, the

:03:20.:03:25.

honour, Glen Heather, appeared before the district judge at Bodmin

:03:25.:03:29.

magistrates court. The court was told that Mr Heather jointly owns a

:03:29.:03:33.

property with his estranged wife. He was charged with arson and

:03:33.:03:37.

recklessly endangering life. He made no plea and was remanded in

:03:37.:03:42.

custody. Mr Heather will appear before Truro Crown Court before the

:03:42.:03:46.

end of the month and a fire investigation team are still at the

:03:46.:03:55.

scene, working to establish how the fire started. A scheme to use local

:03:55.:03:58.

libraries to help cancer patients and their families get all the

:03:58.:04:00.

information they need has been launched in Cornwall. Libraries

:04:00.:04:03.

will be used as a central hub for books and online support. Patients

:04:03.:04:06.

will also be able to review and recommend material they have found

:04:06.:04:09.

useful. The project is being run by the local NHS, Macmillan Cancer

:04:09.:04:14.

Support and Cornwall Council. Cornwall Council has approved plans

:04:14.:04:17.

to build a supermarket on the site of the heliport linking Cornwall to

:04:17.:04:20.

the Isles of Scilly in Penzance. The heliport will relocate to St

:04:20.:04:22.

Erth. British International Helicopters says it will help

:04:22.:04:29.

secure the long-term survival of the service. Torbay's hi-tech

:04:29.:04:32.

industries say they're confident they can provide more jobs in the

:04:32.:04:35.

region. An event has been held in Torquay today aimed at attracting

:04:35.:04:38.

new electronics companies and skilled workers back to the bay. In

:04:38.:04:41.

the past, the closure of companies like Nortel left thousands without

:04:41.:04:46.

jobs. But the companies that sprang up in its wake claim manufacturing

:04:46.:04:53.

is moving away from China and back to places like Paignton. Emma

:04:53.:04:57.

Ruminski reports on how the bay hopes to strengthen one of its more

:04:57.:05:01.

lucrative industries. When Nortel made this man redundant, he set up

:05:01.:05:08.

a new company. He started out in a boat shed and one decade later, it

:05:08.:05:12.

employs 150 staff to manufacture electronics for devices like GPS

:05:12.:05:17.

but tracking and hospital call systems. Many of the old Nortel

:05:17.:05:23.

workers found jobs. They help his firm turnover �17 million each year.

:05:23.:05:28.

This year we have seen a turnaround, more opportunities, certainly a lot

:05:28.:05:33.

of product that we manufacture that would have gone to China and it is

:05:33.:05:39.

coming back to the UK. We are looking to grow to about �30

:05:39.:05:44.

million in the next five years. Thousands used to work in the high-

:05:44.:05:48.

tech industries in Torbay and today's conference hopes to attract

:05:48.:05:53.

new firms and skilled workers back to the region. Amongst the industry

:05:53.:05:59.

itself, they probably do quite well in making themselves known to the

:05:59.:06:04.

wider world but it isn't such a big story for everyone. And it is about

:06:05.:06:09.

time that Torbay put itself on the not. But with so many public sector

:06:09.:06:14.

jobs due to be cut, can the growing hi-tech industry absorb them?

:06:14.:06:19.

in the day, there are probably not quite as many elements of fall-out

:06:19.:06:23.

in the public sector as in other places. But I am convinced that we

:06:23.:06:27.

can grow our employment in hi-tech areas. There were lots of students

:06:27.:06:31.

at the conference hoping to find out what skills they need for a job

:06:31.:06:35.

in the high-tech industries. would like to go into anything

:06:35.:06:40.

automotive. But anything electrical does interest me. I have an

:06:40.:06:44.

apprenticeship, getting paid to learn, what more could you want?

:06:44.:06:48.

The company is one business keeping highly skilled jobs in South Devon

:06:48.:06:57.

but it is hoped even more will return as the industry grows.

:06:57.:07:00.

Penny-pinching befitting of Scrooge himself or prudent moneysaving in

:07:00.:07:02.

tough times? The sharply divided opinions on the threat to the

:07:02.:07:06.

traditional Christmas lights in one of the south west's cities.

:07:06.:07:09.

Exeter's festive show has now been saved after local businesses staged

:07:09.:07:14.

a last-minute rescue. But a row has developed over who should fund the

:07:14.:07:24.

lights in future. Simon Hall reports. The spectacle of the

:07:24.:07:28.

seasonal switch on brings thousands into Exeter. But this year's

:07:29.:07:33.

Christmas lights were threatened after the council withdrew funding.

:07:33.:07:37.

Now they have been saved by two local businesses. Some get so you

:07:37.:07:40.

will put up the lights and South West Communications will underwrite

:07:40.:07:47.

the cost. Things are tough. I don't have too much sympathy for the

:07:47.:07:53.

council because they pay rates and they keep asking when they go. But

:07:53.:07:58.

you cannot put all the blame on them, their matching the funding

:07:58.:08:02.

that has been raised by the private sector and I think that some of

:08:02.:08:05.

those retailers on the High Street will have a conscience this

:08:05.:08:09.

Christmas. In Exeter there was a mix of views on the decision to

:08:09.:08:15.

withdraw funding for the lights. wasn't overly bothered, to be fair.

:08:15.:08:19.

The lights will be nice. But I don't know why all the shops should

:08:19.:08:25.

pay. I suppose they have to make cuts. Perhaps we don't it so many

:08:25.:08:29.

doubts. Perhaps it can be reduced. Disappointing, it is something that

:08:29.:08:34.

everyone looks forward to so they should keep it coming. These are

:08:34.:08:39.

difficult times, challenging times for the public sector, for public

:08:39.:08:45.

finance. When the city council looked at these issues and asked

:08:45.:08:48.

voters and residents, they said it was right to protect frontline

:08:49.:08:54.

public services against festivals and lights. Other high streets have

:08:54.:08:57.

also seen a threat to their Christmas lights. The issue is the

:08:57.:09:03.

old story. Austerity cuts to council budgets. What delights due

:09:03.:09:06.

to be switched on next month, this roe rut -- this row went to the

:09:06.:09:10.

wire. But the council and traders agree that cannot be allowed to

:09:10.:09:14.

happen again. The spectacle is too important for Exeter. Negotiations

:09:15.:09:24.
:09:25.:09:25.

on funding the Christmas lights for 2012 will be again much sooner.

:09:25.:09:27.

England's largest onshore wind farm will start contributing energy to

:09:27.:09:30.

the national grid within the next two weeks. The company behind

:09:30.:09:33.

Fullabrook Wind Farm, based in North Devon, says it will provide

:09:33.:09:36.

enough power for 30,000 homes. There are 22 turbines on the site,

:09:36.:09:46.
:09:46.:09:47.

but like all wind farms, it's not been without controversy. Earlier I

:09:47.:09:50.

spoke to Merlin Hyman from Regen South West, the organisation which

:09:50.:09:53.

promotes renewable energy in the region. I asked him what the future

:09:53.:09:56.

holds for large-scale onshore wind farms, bearing in mind how

:09:56.:10:02.

controversial they are. I don't think in this part of the world

:10:02.:10:07.

that we will see very much more in the shape of a large scale onshore

:10:07.:10:12.

wind farms. The resources we have here, the wind resources in Devon

:10:12.:10:17.

and Cornwall, is excellent. But it tends to be in small pockets and

:10:17.:10:22.

what we will see coming forward is smaller groups of turbines, often

:10:22.:10:26.

brought forward by community groups keen to reap the benefits of

:10:26.:10:31.

sustainable energy. The other point that viewers have made is that

:10:31.:10:34.

they're not all of producing electricity. If there is no wind,

:10:34.:10:39.

you will not get electricity? turbines for a very well-proven

:10:39.:10:44.

technology over 20 years. They are deployed successfully across the

:10:44.:10:50.

world so they are an excellent and well proven energy technology. As

:10:50.:10:53.

part of the overall mix of electricity generation. But if he

:10:54.:10:58.

were not expecting any more large- scale development in the south-west,

:10:58.:11:04.

where will the next generation of renewable energy come from? To meet

:11:04.:11:09.

our energy targets and make most use of the resources we have and

:11:09.:11:14.

create local green jobs, we need a range of renewable energy

:11:14.:11:19.

technologies so there is a future for onshore wind and it is very

:11:19.:11:24.

efficient and proven but we would tend to see that in smaller scales.

:11:24.:11:29.

But there are up at -- lots of other technologies, offshore wind,

:11:29.:11:36.

biomass heating has a lot of potential. In replacing oil from on

:11:36.:11:42.

certain parts of the world. And we have power and tidal power. And the

:11:42.:11:45.

Government has said there will be more encouragement for people to

:11:45.:11:52.

invest in things like waves. It has proven difficult to get anyone to

:11:52.:11:58.

plug into this and test it. With this move things forward? We have

:11:58.:12:04.

been coming and the Government for some time. There has to be an equal

:12:04.:12:08.

incentive for companies investing in tidal technology and the rest of

:12:08.:12:14.

the UK as there is in Scotland. This jump in the incentive that the

:12:14.:12:19.

Government will play his answer to vital for the future of the south-

:12:19.:12:25.

west Marine, Energy industry. This is one part of a jigsaw. There will

:12:25.:12:30.

be more to do to help that fledgling industry really take-off

:12:30.:12:37.

but this is an absolutely key step. Thank you very much for joining us.

:12:37.:12:40.

There's poetry on the programme later. The poet laureate has been

:12:40.:12:43.

visiting one of the region's schools. A setback for Jemma

:12:43.:12:47.

Simpson, one of Cornwall's Olympic hopefuls. And the youngsters

:12:47.:12:49.

getting to perform with one of the world's best-known cellists, Julian

:12:49.:12:59.
:12:59.:13:00.

Lloyd Webber. Businesses in the South West are being encouraged to

:13:00.:13:02.

use social networking sites to connect with customers. As a

:13:02.:13:05.

leading conference on social and digital media takes place in Exeter,

:13:05.:13:08.

some firms in the region are already using the technology in

:13:08.:13:16.

place of traditional advertising. John Danks reports. This is one

:13:16.:13:23.

film guaranteed to make you hungry. One of a series of recipe videos on

:13:23.:13:28.

Youtube, uploaded by at bakery in Lyme Regis. It is the only thing we

:13:28.:13:35.

do. We don't do advertising. People do not trust advertising. They

:13:35.:13:41.

don't trust leaflets. But people trust their friends. Social BDA is

:13:41.:13:45.

really important. The man who made the film was 21 year-old Steven

:13:45.:13:49.

Banks from Dorset. He is at the like mines conference in Exeter to

:13:49.:13:54.

inspire others. It is important to come along because we have already

:13:54.:13:59.

met to people from the business: Exeter who were sent by the

:13:59.:14:04.

University and it is a fantastic breeding-ground for ideas. Great

:14:05.:14:10.

for networking and you get to meet like minds. The event is in its 4th

:14:10.:14:14.

year and takes place at venues across the city. It attracts major

:14:14.:14:18.

players from the technology industry. Organisers say that half

:14:18.:14:21.

a million people have connected to the conference on Twitter over the

:14:21.:14:25.

previous events. And it is social EDF that is enabling South West

:14:25.:14:30.

firms to do business with some of the biggest brands. Local companies,

:14:30.:14:35.

South West based companies, they're working with Nokia, Orange, Ogilvy,

:14:35.:14:40.

big agencies. Local people can get at work and there can collaborate

:14:40.:14:44.

with other local people because in recession it is vital for business

:14:44.:14:49.

to bloom. The conference continues until Friday and as you would

:14:49.:14:58.

expect, there is plenty more information online... Exeter

:14:58.:15:02.

Chiefs's Sandy Park will miss out on becoming one of the venues for

:15:02.:15:06.

the Rugby World Cup. This despite members supporting plans to make

:15:06.:15:10.

the ground the biggest stadium in the south-west. The cheats, in the

:15:10.:15:14.

second season as a Premiership club, one to turn Sandy Park into the

:15:14.:15:18.

20,000 all-seater ground but still not be selected for the next World

:15:18.:15:24.

Cup, staged in England. Even if he managed in four years to increase

:15:24.:15:31.

the capacity to 20,000, it is unlikely. The decision has already

:15:31.:15:37.

been taken to use some football stadiums around the country because

:15:37.:15:42.

they have higher capacities. Cornwall's international middle

:15:42.:15:45.

distance runner, Jemma Simpson, has received a blow ahead of the 2012

:15:45.:15:48.

Olympics. The 27 year-old has been told by UK Athletics that she'll no

:15:48.:15:51.

longer be funded by their world- class performance program for next

:15:51.:15:57.

season. Dave Gibbins is here to talk about the implications. Why

:15:58.:16:03.

has she missed out? Two reasons. She has been blighted by injuries

:16:04.:16:07.

throughout the season. And disappointing performances when it

:16:07.:16:12.

has mattered the most. Her preparation work has been excellent,

:16:12.:16:16.

she is a three-times British champion over 800 metres. But when

:16:16.:16:20.

it comes to big tournaments, major competitions, she has let yourself

:16:20.:16:25.

down. She is appealing the decision to and she has been reacting to the

:16:25.:16:29.

news by talking to BBC Radio Cornwall from her training camp in

:16:29.:16:37.

the USA. I feel that justice and entering the years in my life were

:16:37.:16:40.

and developed enough to start performing, they have dropped it.

:16:40.:16:44.

At the last minute. What do you do? You train all your life for this

:16:45.:16:48.

point to be the pinnacle and then they decide, they take your career

:16:48.:16:51.

into their hands and decide your fate for you. So it is kind of

:16:51.:17:01.
:17:01.:17:03.

like... It is a blow. Oliver focus has been on 2012, the Olympics. How

:17:03.:17:10.

can she my father? With great difficulty. To rub salt into the

:17:10.:17:16.

wind, her biggest rivals over 800 metres, the British Girls' Jenny

:17:16.:17:22.

Meadows and Marilyn O'Connell, have been funded by UK Athletics. We

:17:22.:17:26.

know that individuals as well as big sporting clubs take money to

:17:26.:17:31.

achieve success. However, to kick- start this, it could kick-start

:17:31.:17:36.

Gemma into proving UK Athletics wrong. We wait to see. We were sure

:17:36.:17:42.

the best. Thank you very much indeed. In this age of texting and

:17:42.:17:45.

tweeting, is there any room left for poetry? According to the poet

:17:45.:17:49.

laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, the answer is a resounding yes. The

:17:49.:17:52.

famous writer has been at a local school today to spread the word.

:17:52.:17:59.

Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby was there. For poetry lovers at the King's

:17:59.:18:04.

School in Ottery Saint Mary, this was like a royal visit. I love you

:18:04.:18:09.

writing so much. Carol Ann Duffy is two-and-a-half years into her ten-

:18:09.:18:13.

year stint as poet Laureate. Her work is now studied as part of the

:18:13.:18:19.

curriculum. I would not be a poet if I had not had fantastic English

:18:19.:18:23.

teachers and engage with poetry from a young age. Along with many

:18:23.:18:28.

other poets in this country, I am passionate about going into schools

:18:28.:18:32.

and reading poems and meeting young students. As well as signing copies

:18:32.:18:36.

of her books, Carol Ann Duffy performed some of her work with the

:18:36.:18:46.
:18:46.:18:52.

help of musician, John Samson. APPLAUSE. The visit was organised

:18:52.:18:57.

for the school librarians in this National Poetry Month. It is

:18:57.:19:02.

probably the least understood of the English literature forms that

:19:02.:19:09.

students learn and yet it is so important and it is an opportunity

:19:09.:19:13.

to get children and young people to engage with the written word in a

:19:13.:19:18.

way that is really very special. The rain and snow and fog or

:19:19.:19:27.

something like it. A man on a coal- black course came riding. Fantastic.

:19:27.:19:31.

The new study something a school you are inspired to go out and read

:19:31.:19:34.

more. And then to make that person who has inspired you to look for

:19:34.:19:40.

more literature, it is such a fantastic feeling. When you have

:19:40.:19:45.

studies someone and so much depth, then you get to meet them and

:19:45.:19:55.
:19:55.:20:00.

actually talk to her, it is really exciting. I love it. I enter

:20:00.:20:05.

competitions so it's a real inspiration. You can just go along.

:20:06.:20:10.

I love rating. Her poems are just so inspirational and so different

:20:10.:20:14.

to anything else I have read. According to Carol Ann Duffy, this

:20:14.:20:22.

is the century for poetry. Poetry says more about a society that is

:20:22.:20:27.

in a hurry and used to using texts and tweeting. The porn is the

:20:27.:20:32.

perfect literary form for our times. -- pawn. The mission is to inspire

:20:32.:20:42.
:20:42.:20:42.

a passion for poetry. It might just have worked. This is a cultural

:20:42.:20:47.

section of the programme. From poetry to music. 50 talented young

:20:48.:20:50.

musicians from the South West are tonight performing with world-

:20:50.:20:52.

famous cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. The teenagers are playing alongside

:20:53.:20:55.

a professional orchestra at Exeter Cathedral as part of the Two Moors

:20:56.:21:02.

Festival. Johnny Rutherford went along to the rehearsal. Beautiful

:21:02.:21:08.

location for beautiful music. Elgar's cello concerto played by 50

:21:08.:21:13.

Webber. It is a fantastic idea. It really brings music all over Devon.

:21:21.:21:26.

It is good for the area. concert is unique, like all 30

:21:26.:21:31.

musical events held across the festival. This one is a dream maker

:21:31.:21:37.

for the young students. I am very nervous. It means the world to me.

:21:37.:21:40.

I have always dreamed of an opportunity like this, to play with

:21:40.:21:45.

someone as good as Julian Lloyd Webber. Having to perform it at

:21:45.:21:50.

high level, with professional musicians. Because I want to go

:21:50.:21:57.

:21:58.:22:03.

is great. The idea of the festival is to take music to various

:22:03.:22:07.

locations across the murders but also to enthuse young people with

:22:07.:22:11.

classical music. At this time, particularly, it is hugely

:22:11.:22:16.

important for people to have music in their lives. It should be a

:22:16.:22:20.

birthright. Music is a tremendous thing for bringing people together.

:22:20.:22:25.

Especially working in the orchestra, hearing children work at something

:22:25.:22:30.

that is basically bigger than them individually and trying... It is a

:22:31.:22:34.

fantastic building block for teamwork. Unfortunately, the

:22:34.:22:39.

concert is only on this evening at 7:30pm but those in the area, there

:22:39.:22:49.
:22:49.:22:52.

sunshine. And some mist in the valley. We did have some cloud

coming in through the morning, spoiling things a little. If you

:23:34.:23:39.

were up early, you would have caught the sunshine. And at this

time of year with those early temperatures, it has not really
