A warning that cuts to traffic police will cost lives on South

West roads. Good evening and welcome to

lives. Brake is now calling on the Government to invest in more front

line officers. In the last year a third of Dorset's traffic division

:00:58.:01:01.

has been redeployed while there has been a 13% fall in the number of

:01:01.:01:05.

traffic officers in Devon and Cornwall.

:01:05.:01:15.

In Avon and Somerset the number is down by 5%. But the police say

:01:15.:01:18.

there are now fewer deaths and injuries on our roads. In Devon and

:01:18.:01:22.

Cornwall, for example, the number has halved. There were 100

:01:23.:01:25.

fatalities in 2005 and only 50 in 2010. Spotlight's Hamish Marshall

reports. Out enforcing the law, but

:01:31.:01:37.

campaigners believe less of this is going on in the region. This woman

:01:37.:01:41.

felt the impact of a crash. Three years ago her daughter died in a

:01:41.:01:46.

crash. She was taken from there by someone over the drink-drive limit.

:01:46.:01:50.

I am still suffering greatly, and of course the rest of my family and

:01:50.:01:55.

her friends, too. That terrible realisation that someone's

:01:55.:02:01.

beautiful life could be taken from them in a fraction of a second.

:02:01.:02:09.

Then and I was not with us any more. Police captured this motorcyclist

:02:09.:02:15.

doing 140 mph, double the speed limit, on the A38. Road campaigners

:02:15.:02:19.

say fewer traffic officers below low this and other dangers to go

:02:19.:02:24.

one noticed. We're very worried that, by cutting

:02:24.:02:28.

the numbers of police, you are increasing the chances of crashes

on the road, potentially the number on the road, potentially the number

on the road, potentially the number on the road, potentially the number

:02:35.:02:42.

of people needlessly killed. Devon and Cornwall police say they denied

:02:42.:02:45.

lives are being put at risk, but they're having to cope with the

:02:45.:02:50.

loss of several hundred policing officers. We are reduce in numbers,

:02:50.:02:56.

however I think it is wrong to the fair -- in fare this will lead to

:02:56.:03:03.

an increase in casualties on the roads.

:03:03.:03:06.

Police say in recent years there has been a fall in the number of

:03:06.:03:11.

deaths on roads. But there is a new worry - there has been a bigger

:03:11.:03:16.

rise in the number of people who failed breath tests during the

:03:16.:03:19.

recent festive campaign. Those who have seen the consequences of that

:03:19.:03:26.

first hand all the cuts are not sending out the wrong message.

:03:26.:03:32.

It is so difficult to get across that message that all of us feel,

:03:32.:03:37.

that it won't happen to you, but it could, because it happened to our

:03:37.:03:44.

family. And if you want to comment on the

The Government's controversial health reforms have met a mounting

:03:54.:04:02.

tide of opposition this week. The Health and Social Care Bill aims to

:04:02.:04:04.

hand commissioning powers to GPs and extend private sector

:04:04.:04:07.

involvement in the NHS in a drive to save �20 billion by 2015. MPs

:04:07.:04:10.

and medical professionals have joined forces to criticise the the

:04:10.:04:16.

Bill. One Cornish Liberal Democrat MP says it is now beyond amendment

:04:16.:04:21.

and should be scrapped. Our Political Editor, Martyn Oates, has

:04:21.:04:26.

been following the week's events. This is all getting very difficult

:04:26.:04:33.

for the Government, isn't it? Extremely, because all of this

:04:33.:04:36.

Bangor Road controversy swirls around arguably the most central

:04:36.:04:39.

policy area for a Conservative-led Government. Opposition from Labour

:04:39.:04:45.

would be expected, they seek major restructuring is the last thing the

:04:45.:04:52.

NHS needs. It is the situation, where great swathes of opinion

:04:52.:04:55.

within the medical profession are increasingly hostile, that is bad

:04:55.:05:00.

news for the Government. This Cornish doctor is part of that.

:05:00.:05:05.

do not have any trust in the Government about the NHS. I say

:05:05.:05:09.

that very sadly, and the reason I say it is because unfortunately so

:05:09.:05:15.

far they have not listened to us, the British Medical Association,

:05:15.:05:19.

the Royal College of Nurses, the Royal College of GPs, who are

:05:19.:05:23.

allegedly leading these reforms, and they have certainly not

:05:23.:05:27.

listened to patients. The Government insists Major re

:05:27.:05:31.

structuring is essential to make these necessary savings and

:05:31.:05:36.

safeguard the NHS. People like that doctors say that actually the NHS

:05:36.:05:41.

is not been too bad a shape, we can secure its future without upheaval

:05:41.:05:45.

on this scale. The Prime Minister reminded everybody at Question Time

:05:45.:05:49.

this week that not all people in the medical profession are opposed

:05:49.:05:55.

to this plan and lots of GP plot, current -- implementing the changes.

:05:55.:06:04.

-- lots of GPs. There is even a suggestion that

:06:04.:06:07.

some of these changes are making it more difficult for the NHS to save

:06:07.:06:11.

money? This came from the health Select

:06:11.:06:15.

Committee, which produced a report concluding that changes are

:06:15.:06:20.

distracting and disrupting the NHS at a time it is struggling to make

:06:20.:06:25.

it if -- efficiencies. Conservative MPs sit on the health Select

:06:25.:06:29.

Committee, as well as Liberal Democrat and opposition MPs. It is

:06:29.:06:33.

actually chaired by a former Conservative Health Secretary,

:06:33.:06:41.

Stephen Dorrell. Peer in the South West, the St Ives MP, Andrew George,

:06:41.:06:44.

continues his dogged campaign within the coalition opposing the

:06:44.:06:50.

Bill, and he says it has reached the stage it should be binned.

:06:50.:06:55.

And I will be back with Sunday politics at midday on Sunday.

:06:55.:06:58.

Around �4 million is being spent on new flood defences for the South

:06:58.:07:00.

Devon town of Teignmouth. The Environment Agency says the work is

:07:01.:07:04.

needed because of climate change and a rising sea level. One pub in

:07:04.:07:06.

particular is undergoing a dramatic facelift to help hold back the

:07:07.:07:09.

spring tides. Our Environment Correspondent, Adrian Campbell, has

:07:09.:07:16.

been to have a look. They have got the builders and at

:07:16.:07:20.

the moment in Teignmouth. The construction side is right on the

:07:20.:07:22.

waterfront, and while local residents carry on walking their

:07:23.:07:30.

dogs as normal, a �4 million flood defence scheme is being erected to

:07:30.:07:35.

keep rising sea levels at bay. The landlady of this pub took us inside

:07:35.:07:39.

which, with substantial reinforcements, will become part of

:07:39.:07:44.

the flood defences. Ours is quite extensive, because

:07:48.:07:53.

walls, it will change the outlook and we will have to have our

:07:53.:08:00.

windows changed. Powers is the most intense of all the way down.

:08:00.:08:03.

2008, the pub and its neighbours suffered from high seas and

:08:03.:08:07.

flooding. Rising sea levels have become a way of life here in recent

:08:07.:08:12.

years. This photograph shows you how bad things can get here, up

:08:16.:08:19.

the spring tide is High, the swans are just outside the window,

:08:19.:08:23.

sometimes tapping on the window of the pub.

:08:23.:08:27.

On the other side of the estuary, this town already has a similar

:08:27.:08:31.

flood defence scheme. The team responsible are now hoping to

:08:31.:08:33.

complete the Teignmouth scheme by the summer.

:08:34.:08:38.

The scheme put forward the now compared to the one in 2004 is a

:08:38.:08:41.

lot better for the community. Community have bought into this

:08:41.:08:46.

project. Support is with us, on the wall.

:08:46.:08:49.

They new flood defence scheme will rely on a team of volunteers to

:08:50.:08:54.

make sure it works. We'd will issue a flood warning and

:08:54.:08:59.

mobilise a tree in -- a trained team of experts to ensure the gates

:08:59.:09:06.

are closed in time for the flood. That is a right -- that is vital.

:09:06.:09:10.

A artist's impressions sold the new scheme should be discreet, despite

:09:10.:09:14.

-- despite flood walls up to four feet in height.

It is now exactly six months until the Olympics arrive in Britain and

:09:17.:09:22.

the sailing events are held off the Dorset coast. Local organisers hope

:09:22.:09:24.

the games will re-shape Weymouth's tourism industry and help Portland

:09:24.:09:28.

recover from the loss of the naval base in the 90s. To assess the

:09:28.:09:30.

progress so far, our Dorset reporter, Simon Clemison, has taken

The Olympics are coming, and where once the Royal Navy ruled the waves,

:10:12.:10:16.

Olympics is difficult to imagine in these cold winter months, but as

:10:16.:10:20.

the temperature rises, so will the excitement. Thousands are expected

:10:47.:10:51.

There were a lot of families, and most of the population of Portland

:10:51.:10:55.

are connected to the Navy, because of the hundreds of years they were

:10:55.:11:00.

here. Those accommodation blocks over their were turned into luxury

:11:05.:11:14.

Navy had not left, the Olympics may not have come. The sale in the

Looking at it now, knowing what it was like in its heyday, between

the journey to 2012. 30 years of roadworks in 18 months caused

uproar. Short-term pain, but will there be long-term gain? Can Dorset

bring in a new type of visitor in 2013 and 2014? Inspired by the

Oil explorers have told the BBC they could be drilling off the

:13:20.:13:23.

Dorset coast in two year's time. Wessex Exploration say they could

:13:23.:13:26.

be on the verge of a major discovery. The company had already

:13:26.:13:29.

bought the rights to search on- shore, but now they are investing

:13:29.:13:32.

in new licences which will allow them to explore for oil off-shore

here in the South West. Plymouth City Council has signed a

:13:36.:13:39.

deal to keep the British Fireworks Championships in the city for

:13:39.:13:42.

another six years. The spectacular two-day event is now in its 16th

:13:42.:13:49.

year. The 2012 competition will be a Champion of Champions final. The

:13:49.:13:52.

event costs the council around �90,000 to stage, but it insists it

:13:52.:14:01.

is money well spent. OK, the council does not get money

:14:01.:14:08.

directly back, but we do help secured jobs, it helps build the

:14:08.:14:12.

economy and it helps a track's other events, a lot of those we do

:14:12.:14:19.

not have to pay for. Those also help secured jobs and investment.

Ambulance is about to open. The 25- year-old charity flies 1,000 life

Many across the South West are today remembering the thousands

:14:33.:14:37.

killed in concentration camps in World War II. As part of events to

:14:37.:14:39.

mark Holocaust Memorial Day, children have been meeting in

:14:39.:14:43.

Exeter to share the work they have been doing at school with one of

:15:15.:15:18.

Schools across Devon have been working towards this exhibition at

:15:18.:15:22.

the Guildhall in Exeter, designed to make people stop and think about

:15:22.:15:26.

what happened. It is upsetting and depressing people were put through

:15:26.:15:32.

that. Just for being innocent and their race and what they are.

:15:32.:15:36.

really important we can remember it and acknowledge it, but also try to

:15:36.:15:42.

make sure it does not happen again. They got to meet a concentration

:15:42.:15:46.

camp survivor. She is believed to be the oldest survivor of a

:15:46.:15:52.

holocaust. Three weeks before my birth, my mother was on the train,

:15:52.:15:56.

the coal truck, or put to the skies and filthy. She was on that train

:15:56.:16:00.

for three weeks with no food and hardly any water. After the war,

:16:01.:16:06.

when similar trains were discovered, they opened them and found piles of

:16:06.:16:14.

corpses within them. In 1945, the Germans blew up the gas chamber.

to you now. He is to relate this will never have a chance of

repeating its of -- history like this. Will never have a chance of

:16:32.:16:36.

repeating itself. Time for a look at the weekend's

:16:36.:16:39.

sport now with Dave, who has been at Sandy Park today in rather

:16:39.:16:43.

illustrious company. We are here at Sandy Park, just as

:16:43.:16:48.

England Saxons have finished their final preparations for tomorrow's's

:16:49.:16:54.

game against the Irish Wolfhounds. It is a final pocket kick-off, and

:16:54.:16:59.

we are joined by two familiar faces, Tommy Johnson of Exeter achieves,

:16:59.:17:06.

Matt Hopper formerly of Plymouth Albion and the Cornish pirates. Tom,

:17:06.:17:10.

our special visit to play or your home ground? It is very special,

:17:10.:17:14.

always an occasion where you run out in front of a really good crowd,

:17:14.:17:19.

and to do it with an England shirt on will hopefully be a special day.

:17:20.:17:23.

You have played for the England seniors, although you did not win a

:17:23.:17:28.

cap because it was against the Barbarians. You have played against

:17:28.:17:32.

the big-time atmosphere, what is it like being involved with the top

:17:32.:17:37.

team? It is great being involved with the Saxons. We played in the

:17:37.:17:41.

Tatchell Cup in the summer, and to get another taste is very enjoyable.

:17:41.:17:50.

Matt, he is from Exeter, born in Exeter, and to play here, to put

:17:50.:17:54.

that white shirt on representing England must be a little special

:17:54.:18:02.

for you, is it? It wasn't something I probably envisioned in the near

:18:02.:18:05.

future, but I always had confidence in my ability that it would happen

:18:05.:18:11.

one day. To come to Exeter has been the City of -- racing on the cakes,

:18:11.:18:15.

I will probably see some familiar faces in the crowd. What do you

:18:15.:18:20.

look for from occasions like this? The main thing is to be part of a

:18:20.:18:24.

winning Saxons team. We have trained pretty hard this week and

:18:24.:18:30.

we have a set of set objectives. Personally, just have a decent game

:18:30.:18:35.

and put a stamp down, a bit of a marker and continue in their good

:18:35.:18:42.

form I have been in. Best of luck for tomorrow evening. It is crucial

:18:42.:18:46.

for goalkeepers, as well, I would imagine, and Brent Bilic has been

:18:46.:18:51.

listed -- receiving let it -- lessons on this art from the

:18:51.:18:58.

England standing coach. Sandy Park will host the England

:18:58.:19:02.

Saxons, at one of the most important players is the kicker.

:19:02.:19:08.

This is the England Saxons coach, also has a future England caps to

:19:08.:19:15.

his name. How important is taking? For it is very important, it is not

:19:15.:19:21.

just about converting tries and adding to the value of the Saxons

:19:21.:19:27.

score, but it allows teams to that pressure. Get through the ball more,

:19:27.:19:30.

chase your foot over the post, so we're not stopping dead, we're

:19:31.:19:36.

going through the ball, get a bit of hip movement through, and then

:19:36.:19:46.
:19:46.:19:48.

see if you can think about getting the foot chasing the ball. What a

:19:48.:19:57.

short! While the Exeter chiefs continue their campaign at wondered

:19:57.:20:01.

Wasps tomorrow, the Cornish pirates and Plymouth Albion look to improve

:20:01.:20:06.

their position in the championship. They have a juicy contest in

:20:06.:20:10.

Penzance on Sunday against London Welsh in third. If Albion when

:20:10.:20:15.

tonight, the will of the Birmingham club. Whichever team loses, they

:20:15.:20:20.

will be in the relegation play-offs. Exeter City can put a feather in

:20:20.:20:25.

their cap if they overcome League One leaders Charlton Athletic at St

:20:25.:20:31.

James' Park tomorrow. They have lost only twice this season, while

:20:31.:20:35.

City look to keep some distance from their rivals below them. They

:20:35.:20:39.

include Yeovil Town, who will move out of the bottom four if they beat

:20:39.:20:42.

out of the bottom four if they beat Preston. If Torquay United get the

:20:42.:20:46.

better of Northampton, they can go forth in League Two. That will help

:20:46.:20:50.

Plymouth Argyle, who have a Plymouth Argyle, who have a

:20:50.:20:53.

difficult game at Port Vale. It is exactly six months to the start of

:20:53.:20:57.

the London Olympics, and four rowers will be hoping to qualify

:20:57.:21:02.

for the Great Britain squad. Marcus Bateman and Bill looking for

McInnes Meyer are looking for a place, and Helen Glover and Annabel

This weekend members of the RNLI will be out and about raising money

Today is SOS day across the country for the RNLI. Behind me is the

:22:01.:22:09.

us about the sport -- this boat. This is similar to what was here in

:22:09.:22:17.

1866, paid for by the people of Exeter. It is an open lifeboat, 10

:22:17.:22:24.

oarsmen, completely different to what we have known. -- what we have

:22:24.:22:29.

now. Why is it here today? It is a challenge for us to run this

:22:29.:22:34.

lifeboat, and it gives the modern people a taste of what it is like

:22:34.:22:38.

back in those days and appreciate what they had to do to get to see.

:22:38.:22:43.

What is your plan tomorrow? We will road from St Mary's Bay into

:22:43.:22:49.

Brixham harbour, then through to Torquay. The Wives And Girlfriends

:22:49.:22:58.

of the Torbay lifeboat court are all all -- also involved in this.

:22:58.:23:02.

We will be dressed in traditional dress, pulling the boat insurer

has been in service about ten years, and the RNLI have put a task to

:23:16.:23:21.

each station to raise enough funds to purchase a new set, modern,

:23:21.:23:25.

state-of-the-art lifejackets for the crew to go out and seek -- to

me speaking to the Torbay lifeboat crew earlier this evening. You can

see the difference in size between the two whistles. It is hard to

this weekend. We have the cold air seeping in, cold start with some

sunshine, then the possibility of a rain on Sunday. To the west, there

with us for the first half of the evening before fading away through

being a fine day. By lunchtime on Sunday clouding over, patchy rain.

:24:50.:24:54.

You can see where the showers have been in the last few hours. Still

:24:54.:25:01.

some sharp downpours of rain. As the showers clear to the south,

:25:01.:25:05.

tonight's forecast is clear and cold, and quickly that temperatures

:25:05.:25:11.

will get close to freezing widely across the South West. We have a

:25:11.:25:15.

risk of ice overnight, quite a high risk, particularly on minor roads

:25:15.:25:20.

and pavements that have not been treated. Tomorrow, a frosty start

and an AC one -- icy conditions. Top temperature of six or seven

:25:29.:25:37.

Celsius, not warmer, lighter winds and normally winds. -- northerly.

:25:37.:25:42.

For the Isles of Scilly, decent spells of sunshine, later in the

coast. Generally quite a cold day to be in the sea. Coastal waters

:26:10.:26:19.

forecast, quite quiet tomorrow. That is tomorrow. For the outlook,

:26:19.:26:24.

we are expecting a change into Sunday, more cloud around. That

:26:24.:26:30.

will produce patchy rain. Over high ground that could give us some snow

:26:30.:26:36.

or sleet. Cold into Monday, cloudy and drizzly, and next week because

gradually getting colder and colder. By midweek next week we could have

four or five Celsius. four or five Celsius.

:26:44.:26:47.

Throughout the day you have been letting us know what you think of

:26:47.:26:51.

the cuts in the number of dedicated traffic police. Jack emails to say,

:26:51.:26:54.

now those who use mobile phones, drink and drive will assume that

:26:54.:26:56.

they have less chance of being caught.

:26:56.:27:00.

A former traffic officer who is now on general policing duties and has

:27:00.:27:03.

asked us not to use his name says, we are deeply interested in

:27:03.:27:06.

reducing the number of collisions involving death and injuries on our

:27:06.:27:09.

roads and the misery they leave behind. Sadly, we have been

:27:09.:27:15.

thwarted from this important task. And Jeremy in Honiton emailed to

say, if there is police presence on roads then more lives will be at

risk and the bad drivers will not be the ones whose families are

destroyed by their actions. Thank you to everyone who took the

:27:28.:27:32.

trouble to get in touch. That is it from us tonight and this
