That is all from the News At Six, goodbye | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
The Royal Marine who murdered an Afghan insurgent ` the legal battle | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
over whether his identity should be revealed. | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
Good evening. Judges are deciding if Marine A should be named, but one of | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
his former comrades says that would have serious consequences. I think | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
it would be a travesty if the details were made public it is a set | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
serious security risk. The Christian guesthouse owners who | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
refused a room to a gay couple lose the latest round in their legal | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
battle. On your bike ` the residents living | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
near a new cycle trail have dubbed its users lycra louts. And seizing | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
the day ` the pensioner who's joined the growing trend for tattoos. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
The naming of a Plymouth based Royal Marine who's been found guilty of | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
murder would put his life at risk and the lives of his family. That's | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
the claim from lawyers who are fighting to protect the identity of | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
the man known only as Marine A. Judges are considering whether his | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
name should be revealed, but tonight a former comrade of Marine A has | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
said if that happens it would be a travesty. Spotlight's John Henderson | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
reports. I cannot stress how I read this that too was. It was a | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
miserable existence. We were very tired. He was at the limits. At the | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
limits and guilty of murder. Earlier this month the Royal Marine was | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
convicted of murder. During the trial he was known as marine a, | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
because he and two others were granted anonymity. Lawyers argued | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
that making their identities public could make them and their families | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
potential targets for jihadist. But the judge said there identities | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
should be made public. But one of their colleagues disagrees. It would | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
be a travesty if the details were handed out. It would pose a serious | :02:35. | :02:44. | |
security risk. It is not the right thing to do. They deserve their | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
privacy. The case has now gone before the court martial appeal | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
court. Some in this village think the Royal Marines should keep their | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
anonymity. Yes, for their own safety. They go through enough. His | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
family would have to bear the consequences if his name was | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
released. It is not fair on the family. I do not think he should go | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
to prison. It was a difficult situation a former troop commander | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
had this to say. If he does not have anonymity every jihadist will go | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
after them. When he has released he will have done his time, but they | :03:41. | :03:57. | |
will go after him. Marine A is due to be sentenced next | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
week. A former colleague what leniency. | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
The owners of a Christian guesthouse in Cornwall who refused to rent a | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
double room to a gay couple have lost the latest round in their legal | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
battle. In 2008 Peter and Hazelmary Bull turned away civil partners | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Steven Preddy and Martyn Hall from the Chymorvah Guesthouse. Bristol | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
County Court later ruled that was discriminatory and ordered them to | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
pay damages. Mr and Mrs Bull asked the Court of Appeal to overturn that | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
decision but that was rejected. And today, a further appeal to the | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Supreme Court was dismissed as well. With more, here's our reporter Clare | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
Burton. A bed and breakfast business, but | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
also the home of devout Christians Peter and Hazelmary Bull. They say | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
they are Christian beliefs mean they cannot allow any and married couple | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
to share a double bed under the roof. The Bible only recognises | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
heterosexual marriage. So they turned away these civil partners. | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
Now every stage of the British legal system agrees that there is direct | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
discrimination. If a homosexual couple denied a room to Christians | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
because of their beliefs that would be equally unlawful. | :05:36. | :05:47. | |
This court had the opportunity to show more fair`mindedness. I am | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
disappointed in them. They did not take that opportunity to make room | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
for an alternative lifestyle and for our lifestyle. Earlier this year the | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
Bulls announced the our selling the guest house because they have lost | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
so much as this. It has been bad press for Cornwall also. Today to | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
list losses were keen to stress that Cornwall was open for everybody's | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
business. Cheat them well. `` treat them well. That is what tourist | :06:31. | :06:39. | |
businesses do. The European Court of Human Rights is the only remaining | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
option for the Bulls. That could take years. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
South West MPs are calling on the Government to allow water customers | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
in the South West to choose between more than one supplier. They hope | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
this would help to bring our unusually high water bills down. Our | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Political Editor Martyn Oates joins us now from Westminster. | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
Is this something the government wants to introduce anyway? Yes and | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
no. The Water Bill which has been | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
discussed in the Commons this week plans to extend that kind of choice | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
to us this is across the country. The environment secretary said the | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
government would be interested longer term in seeing if it could be | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
extended to domestic customers. At the moment only 40% of customers | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
have water meters. It would need universal metering to make it work. | :07:34. | :07:48. | |
In Devon and Cornwall we already have 80% water meter coverage. I am | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
asking the government to consider using Devon and Cornwall as a pilot | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
to enable water customers to shop around. | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
The Labour MP for Plymouth also agrees and he has got our ally in | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
John redwoods. He once domestic customers to have this kind of | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
choice as soon as. He agrees that the present monopoly system where | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
big companies control a single region is one of the big mistakes | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
when water was privatised originally under the Conservatives. | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Tenants of social housing in Exeter, which was partly deemed | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
uninhabitable due to the damp and lack of insulation, say nothing has | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
been done and they're facing another freezing winter. Some residents of | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Sidwell House say this winter they're having to choose between | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
eating and heating, and one has chosen to become homeless rather | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
than face another Christmas in a flat he says he can't afford to keep | :08:51. | :09:02. | |
warm. Jenny Walrond reports. This man shows me the and integrated | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
void any his flats. They have done nothing. We filmed | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
him last winter surviving on payday loans so he could both eat and heat | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
his flats. This winter he has made a tough choice. I am having to put | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
three or four years on. Just to keep comfortable and warm. I cannot | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
afford to use the night storage heaters. | :09:40. | :09:51. | |
In April it was ordered that improvements were made. | :09:52. | :10:05. | |
Residents told as they have got new showers that have seen no other work | :10:06. | :10:17. | |
being done. Nobody had any heaters change | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
whatsoever. Here is evidence of problems caused | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
by the cold and damp. Some residents say things like this are making them | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
will. This is my bedroom. The windowsill is leaking. There is what | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
all the way down the wall stop. This man has been living here for | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
three months. He says he has repainted twice and used fungicide | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
three times to get rid of the moulds. I would not put my worst | :10:58. | :11:10. | |
enemy in this place. It is not just the damp and cold that is causing | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
concern. This fire door does not close properly. This local | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
councillor could find little evidence of any improvement is. If | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
this work is not done properly it will be a cold winter. These places | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
are not properly treated. Exeter City Council says installation of | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
the roof is the responsibility of another company. It says council | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
officers will be checking all the works. | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
Sanctuary Housing says it has carried out significant improvement | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
work to the flats. At least one resident has given up | :11:58. | :12:21. | |
hope. The cost of heating is so high that this person has chosen to | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
become homeless and stay with friends. | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
Police are appealing for witnesses in their hunt for a man who raped a | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
25`year`old woman in Honiton. The victim was approached as she left | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
the town's Pit Club between three and four o'clock on Sunday. She was | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
followed to the nearby livestock market where the attack happened.The | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
man police are looking for is described as around five feet seven | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
inches tall with dark hair and was wearing a grey long sleeved top and | :12:55. | :13:11. | |
genes. `` and genes. A Second World War mine has been | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
discovered in the sea just off Dorset. The police are looking for a | :13:16. | :13:34. | |
man armed with a bottle of a bleach like liquid, who grabbed a | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
12`year`old girl as she walked to school in Bodmin. During the | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
struggle on Whitestone road, the girl's clothes were left covered in | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
the liquid. The police have described the man as being | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
Mediterranean in appearance, with a dark goatee beard. He was wearing a | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
red t`shirt and a baseball cap. The public will have a chance to | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
question Devon and Cornwall's Police and Crime Commissioner about the | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
controversies over his expenses and the costs of running his office | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
tonight. Tony Hogg, along with the Chief Constable, Shaun Sawyer, will | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
face an audience in a debate on policing. Our home affairs | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
correspondent Simon Hall is at Plymouth's Council House where the | :14:10. | :14:18. | |
debate is taking place. The issue of expenses may come up. | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
What you often see at meetings like this, people are interested in | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
police on the beat. They like to see them there. That may come up. Linked | :14:29. | :14:42. | |
to that, trying `` links to that is crime. Traffic and transport. A | :14:43. | :14:54. | |
report has raised the possibility of regional units. It also mentioned | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
whether police anti`crime commissioners are worth having. | :15:03. | :15:11. | |
What form for the evening take? We have got people here already. It | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
is about questions from the public. The chief constable and the | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
commissioner Sadie are keen to hear from people. `` and the Commissioner | :15:23. | :15:33. | |
see they are keen to hear from the people. There are still some seats | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
available if you fancy coming along. | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
The debate will be broadcast on BBC Radio Devon and BBC Radio Cornwall | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
from 7.30. We'll have a report on what happens in our late news at | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
10.25. Some of the cyclists using the new | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
Exe Estuary trail have been dubbed lycra louts by people living in the | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
small villages close to the River. The route runs from Dawlish and then | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
follows the Estuary around to the other side, finishing at Exmouth. | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
It's thought the trail could be used by more than a third of a million | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
people every year. There is already conflict between walkers and | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
cyclists, and a rise in accidents. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
Campbell reports. You do not have to look far to see a | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
cyclist. They are everywhere. This cycle Trail has been good for | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
tourism and arguably for many people's health. But few that is a | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
problem. On Friday somebody was hit while he was on his mobility | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
scooter. The postmistress is keeping an accident book. They are people | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
that do not want to come into the village. At both ends of the village | :16:53. | :17:04. | |
the goal at 30 or 40 mph. The route diverts away from the line | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
and goes through residential areas causing conflict at times. This | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
couple seek sometimes they are afraid to go out of their front row. | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
We have got no pavements. There are a lot of elderly people. Before you | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
know where you are there is a bright. But cyclists living in the | :17:32. | :17:41. | |
village see things differently. Cycling has opened up new business. | :17:42. | :17:52. | |
I can see the point about some of the Danes here but most cyclist are | :17:53. | :18:04. | |
responsible. `` some of the bends here. Our real worry is that there | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
will be a fatality. A couple of miles away there has | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
been conflict on the narrow lanes between cyclists and pedestrians. | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
The County Council said in 2005 the consultant on what to do. No signs | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
have started appearing asking people to cooperate with one another. Devon | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
County Council said it is talking with people about refining betrayal. | :18:39. | :18:47. | |
Hash`mac wrote about refining the path. | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
Onto some sports news and Yeovil Town's top scorer from last season | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
looks like he's leaving Huish Park. Paddy Madden, who scored in their | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
play`off final win over Brentford at Wembley, has been placed on the | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
transfer`list. The 23`year`old Dubliner has failed to find the | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
target this season, with the Glovers struggling at the bottom of the | :19:05. | :19:05. | |
Championship standings. Wembley, has been placed | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
It was honours even in the 37th Devon derby between Torquay United | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
and Plymouth Argyle at Plainmoor last night. In a frantic opening, | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
United took the lead through Elliot Benyon despite Luke McCormick's | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
initial save. Soon after, Luke Young's free`kick was handled by | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
Nathan Craig in the penalty area and the resulting spot`kick was | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
converted by Reuben Reid for a one`all draw. Alan Gow also earned | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
Exeter City a 1`1 draw at Wycombe Wanderers with a late equaliser. | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
Now many of you will have been to a remembrance service earlier this | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
month and next year the day will hold even more significance. It'll | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
be the centenary of the Great War and one woman in Devon is hoping to | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
mark it in an unusual way. Yes, Cathy McAnespie runs a clock shop in | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Exeter and wants to create the largest online archive of watches, | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
clocks and other timepieces associated with the war. Spotlight's | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
Andrea Ormsby has been to meet her. Time ticks loudly. She is passionate | :20:00. | :20:12. | |
about timepieces. A lot of it is working on older items which are | :20:13. | :20:26. | |
loved by their owners. She runs a watch repair and | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
restoration shop. She has another passion. Remembering those who | :20:34. | :20:43. | |
fought and died in the war. A lot of it stems from the experiences of my | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
grandfather. He was a prisoner of war. It is important to cherish | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
these memories and what they did for us. | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
When she found her grandfather's wartime watch an idea was formed. | :21:03. | :21:21. | |
This is to protect the glass. It is lovely, the fact it is still | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
running. I know what my grandfather went through and many like him. She | :21:28. | :21:40. | |
has set up an online archive for watchers associated with the war. `` | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
for timepieces associated with the war. | :21:48. | :21:57. | |
It was nice linking time with time for remembrance. | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
She hopes people will get in touch to share their stories in the run`up | :22:05. | :22:14. | |
to the centenary next year. Tattoos used to be the preserve of | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
ancient mariners but now they have become the ultimate in body fashion | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
accessories. BBC broadcaster David Dimbleby recently revealed that he'd | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
had one done at the age of 75. Well now a great grandmother from | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
Cornwall has topped that by getting her first tattoo in her 80s. Renee | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
Parker from Saltash is proof that you're only as old as you feel. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
Spotlight's John Danks has been to meet her. | :22:36. | :22:50. | |
I and 84 and I had my first tattoo in April. A relative had one. I | :22:51. | :23:13. | |
thought it was a good idea. She says she has got to a stage where she | :23:14. | :23:26. | |
does not care what people think. There is not a lot of flesh on your | :23:27. | :23:38. | |
foot. What do the people of Saltash think | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
about it? If she wants one by not. If it makes it happy it is up to | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
her. I would not want that are to add my age. I just sit and look at | :23:55. | :24:18. | |
it. Seize the day. I like the tattoos you can wash | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
off. We have some quiet weather for the | :24:30. | :24:41. | |
next 24 hours. It is a cloudy day. It will not feel as cold as it has | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
felt over the last two days. There are a couple of weather fronts that | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
are keeping things cloudy. Then we have a definite change to writer and | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
easier conditions as we head to Friday. And breezy day on Friday. | :25:00. | :25:12. | |
The risk of a few showers. A lot of cloud as you can see from earlier | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
today. Staying cloudy overnight. This was earlier today. Lovely shots | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
of the Cornish coastline. The quiet conditions continue | :25:25. | :25:45. | |
overnight and through the day tomorrow. We will see some mist | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
forming here and there. Very light winds tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow | :25:54. | :26:09. | |
will be a cloudy day will stop. For our surfers it has been | :26:10. | :26:33. | |
disappointing this week. Becoming quite windy as we move into | :26:34. | :27:18. | |
Friday. You as the Outlook. Friday a few showers. It is cooler as we head | :27:19. | :27:27. | |
into the weekend. High pressure coming back for the weekend. | :27:28. | :27:37. | |
That debate with the Chief con the and the police commissioner is about | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
to get underway. We will have a live update at ten to 85. `` chief cold | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
to. | :27:46. | :27:47. |
