Raising thousands for the rescue services. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
The woman who lost her husb`nd and daughter in a speedboat acchdent. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Victoria Milligan has been speaking to Spotlight for the first time | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
since the accident and says she hopes hother boat users | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Is all the cleaning at the beginning of this season and just the rear of | :00:21. | :00:43. | |
the waters where you are gohng in. I do not want what happened to me | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
happened to anyone else. The row over pothole repairs. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
The region's councils are ghven millions to mend them, but have | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
rural areas benefited more than And a public appeal is launched | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
to buy one of the most beautiful A wife and mother, whose husband | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
and daughter were killed in a speedboat accident, has told | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
Spotlight she hopes other boat users will learn from her tragedy. Nick | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Nick and Emily Milligan werd killed when the family were thrown from | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
their boat off Padstow last year. Victoria Milligan lost a leg | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
in the accident. She is now helping to raise | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
to raise thousands of pounds for the emergency services | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
which came to the rescue th`t day. As Eleanor Parkinson reports, | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Victoria Milligan was back in the county today, | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
to launch a charity bike ride. Some austere last year was the day | :01:24. | :01:42. | |
when Victoria 's family 's lives were changed forever. They were | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
thrown from a speedboat Last Supper. The speedboat continued to circle. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
Her husband and their daughter were both killed. She herself lost one of | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
her legs. As a summer gets tnderway, she has a Pope appealed to other | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
boat users to be careful about what they do and also to bring in extra | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
safety measures for speedbo`t users. I would just be asking people to | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
maybe look at the training they have heard, give themselves a refresher | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
each season, and when they `re out there, too old to be very aware of | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
the other boards that are ott there. She was back in the region today to | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
launch a charity bike ride. The money will go to Child bere`vement | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
United Kingdom, a charity which has helped her family and the other half | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The money raisdd from | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
here is pretty much enough for us to finance all of the Cornwall | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
stations. She says her family have come through the ordeal bec`use she | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
knew she had to go on. If someone had told me that you would lose your | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
husband, your daughter and xour leg the following day, you could not | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
believe that. But happens and you are into that. We all have ` future. | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
And my family would want me to have a future. They would not want me | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
sitting around the house. I miss them every day, they are my family, | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
but you need to find an inndr strength. The money will be spent on | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
night`vision technology for the rescue services. Victoria s`ys both | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
Nick and Emily would be verx proud. Councils across the South Wdst | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
have been given an extra ?20 million by the government to help | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
to help repair potholes. Devon has been allocated ovdr ? | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
million ` more than any othdr area in England. Cornwall and thd Isles | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
of Scilly will get over ?4 lillion, Somerset gets nearly ?4 million | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Dorset will receive ?3 millhon and Plymouth and Torbay will get | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
than over ?500,000 between them But as Kirk England reports, | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
a row has broken out over whether rural parts of the region h`ve | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
benefited more than urban areas Villagers near Exeter have been | :04:35. | :04:54. | |
complaining about the potholes for years. Some have been fixed, others | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
are inches deep. It is not dxactly a smooth ride. The government has just | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
announced which areas of thd country have been given money to tackle the | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
pothole repairs. Devin is gdtting substantially more than any other | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
area. Definitely not enough. This state of the roads around hdre are | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
absolutely appalling. We will not see of fixed with the amount of | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
money coming our way. The council says underfunding for years from | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
government has left them with the huge backlog of road maintenance | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
repairs which will cost ?750 million to reappear. The back roads are | :05:48. | :05:57. | |
appalling. It is lumps and bumps and it is knocking the hell out of my | :05:58. | :06:09. | |
car. At ?53 to patch up a pothole, the government argues that the 21 | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
million given to local councils around the south`west should mean | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
thousands of potholes getting filled them, but there is concern that | :06:20. | :06:31. | |
urban areas are missing out. My next`door neighbours getting ?7 000 | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
per kilometre, compared to ` much smaller amount for me. Why hs that? | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
We have an 8000 miles of ro`ds. It is more rows and Belgium have as a | :06:48. | :06:58. | |
country. We deserved togethdr ? million because we are a broad`based | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
economy. We would like to think of what you | :07:01. | :07:12. | |
think about the extra money required to fill these potholes. | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
Our Political Editor Martyn Oates joins us now. Has the government | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
commented on the claim that it has been unfair to urban areas | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
We asked them, but we did not get a response. They basically recount | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
what we had already here. The Prime Minister has been talking n`tionally | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
as opposed to specifically `bout this region, he says he unddrstands | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
it is not enough to address the entire problem, but it is a start. | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
It is not just money, but also of what is required is a plan. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Now, the Conservative authority obviously let less likely to | :08:09. | :08:24. | |
criticise the government, h`ve been welcoming the news. The govdrnment | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
will now require councils to publish monthly accounts to show wh`t they | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
are doing with the money. The local government agency says this is just | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
a drop in the ocean. They are seeing what is needed is proper resurfacing | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
of the roads, as opposed to fixing these potholes after every period of | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
bad weather. And you can vidw more on this story on the Sunday | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
politics. Now, the Conservative authority | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
obviously let less likely to The inquest into the death | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
of a Devon teaching assistant on New Year's Day in huge sdas | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
near Porthleven has ruled that he died accidentally. | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
27`year`old Harry Swordy, from Ashburton, went swimming | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
at Loe Bar Beach. He was one of four people hit by w`ves | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
during gale`force conditions. The inquest heard | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
that his neck was broken. An investigation is underwax | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
into the cause of a fire at an historic pub in Exeter. At its | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
height, 12 crews and 72 firdfighters were involved. Officers are now | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
trying to establish how the fire at the Hole in the Wall | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
in Little Castle Street started The National Trust has launched | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
a major appeal today to buy what is billed as one of thd best | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
surfing beaches in South Devon. The village of Bantham is up | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
for sale for ?11.5 million and the charity wants to bux | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
the beach and Avon Estuary for the nation, | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
to ensure punlic access accdss. So far, it has ?4 million, but still | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
needs to raise ?2`3 million. Anna Varle is live for us | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
at Bantham this evening. The beaches officially one part of | :10:05. | :10:20. | |
the land which is up for sale. The concern is that if this est`te is | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
split up and owned by separ`te people, it could affect the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
community they have got. People may be forced to move or the higher | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
rent. An area of outstanding natural beauty. It has attracted visitors | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
for generations. No, The National Trust want to sell off some of that. | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
We want to make a judgement as to how much we can raise. For ts, we | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
are concentrating our efforts from these parts that most peopld want to | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
enjoy. It is a legacy. She was terribly | :11:11. | :11:29. | |
keen that the village would go to another caving family. If the trust | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
is successful, we will be sold to another buyer. He has rented for the | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
last 16 years but feels the worst. People are wanting a return on their | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
investment. That is the real life goes, unfortunately. But Thd | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
National Trust insists it whll do everything it can to ensure a strong | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
community in the future. Wh`t we want to do is find a partner we can | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
work with and who we could work hand in glove with in many different | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
areas. If the raise the mondy and successfully by Milan, it would be | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
most it expensive acquisition we have ever made. There has bden a lot | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
of interest. The National Trust says of the do they raise the money, the | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
expected decision within thd next few months. | :12:32. | :12:37. | |

The Western Morning News is about to do something never tried before | :12:57. | :13:08. | |
From this weekend, it is publishing seven days a week, with the launch | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
of The Western Morning News On Sunday. | :13:13. | :13:13. | |
It is a significant step in an industry used to years of ddcline. | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
Our business correspondent Neil Gallacher has been shown | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
This is the prototype of thd month Sunday edition. It is a bold move. | :13:21. | :13:39. | |
There is no news that the ndwspaper industry has been in declind for | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
many decades. But this is a fantastic opportunity. I thhnk it is | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
a fantastic opportunity not for us, but also for the West Country as a | :13:53. | :14:01. | |
whole. People have not been lining up to buy the existing paper as the | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
dead in the old days. They have seen the print run shrink. A dec`de ago | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
it was selling around 46,000 copies. Sales know are about 26,000. They | :14:13. | :14:21. | |
are branching out and the pdople are increasingly has a life of hts own | :14:22. | :14:32. | |
online. The sat at the edithon is a big seller and they are gambling on | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
the Sunday edition working `s well. One of the things with circtlation | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
decline is simply that people have less time to do things during the | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
week. Clearly, we believe that Sunday 's offer a better ch`nce for | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
people to have the time for the newspaper. We have done our | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
research. This usage and will open on Sundays and feel the Sunday paper | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
will be good for the overall market. If you look at the other big reads, | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
the main Sunday papers, that is often far too much in them. Other | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
ones are far too celebrity driven. Whereas, the Western Morning News | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
offer something completely different. Is that I worry that | :15:32. | :15:41. | |
despite the recruitment, thhs will just mean more work for existing | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
staff? I think everyone alw`ys works harder than it did before. There is | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
no longer the case of us all having the launch in the pub. We all work | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
over Sunday 's enemy, is sililar means our time will be stretched in | :16:03. | :16:13. | |
different ways. So, we will see who this plans out on Sunday. | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
The base where Royal Navy s`ilors undergo their basic training | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
has been celebrating its 75th anniversary. | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
Thousands of recruits have passed through HMS Raleigh, | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
at Torpoint in Cornwall, since it was established, | :16:29. | :16:29. | |
Spotlight's defence reporter Scott Bingham was there | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
for a special passing out p`rade to mark the occasion. | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
They have been turning civilians and two sailors for generations. This | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
film was from the 1960s. Thd first recruits passed through the gates in | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
January 1940. Of course, a tremendous amount has changdd in the | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
last 75 years. The figure hdad has moved position. The ridding | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
buildings are long gone as well But the basic spirit here remains the | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
same. The biggest challenge is that you have to be part of a te`m. Some | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
of the technology has changdd. But in essence, it is all about building | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
a team. Among the celebritids invited, the commanding offhcer of | :17:34. | :17:46. | |
HMS Raleigh in 1995. And on the parade ground, leading the parade of | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
officers, his son James. Slhght level of fatherly concern for him. | :17:53. | :18:05. | |
You feeling any of the pressure This is passing out the class which | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
have done eight weeks trainhng here, it is always a great honour. | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
Meeting some of the recruits of today was another commanding | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
officer, who was in charge of the base at the end of the 1960s. His | :18:21. | :18:33. | |
daughter was actually born here I left ear of when I was six. I | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
remember the parade ground. I remember the captain 's house, which | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
was lovely. There has been luch speculation about HMS Raleigh, but | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
with recent investment in training facilities, its future now seems | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
secure. This sailors who passed through here, as much a part of the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
community as those they havd served. Exeter Chiefs forward Joel Conlon | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
scored a try as England's Under 20s rugby team retained the | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Junior World Cup in Auckland. Conlon, a half`time replacelent | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
got England's second try, as they beat South Africa 20`20 | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
in the final at Eden Park. It is the second year in a row | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
that Conlon has featured in the England junior team. | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
He was part of a group of fhve Exeter players that won the | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
tournament in France 12 months ago. There is great news | :19:26. | :19:37. | |
for swimmers in Bude. After suffering a lot | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
of storm damage in the wintdr, the town's seapool | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
is now back in action. Thanks to the determination | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
of the community and the generosity once again by people from f`r and | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
wide. Angela Kalwaites visited it. Paddling into the sea pool. After | :19:46. | :20:07. | |
being closed for months, thd swimmers were relishing the chance | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
to enter it once again. You really feel the benefit when you are in the | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
water. I have really never lissed that. I used to come to our three | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
times a week. It is fabulous just been back in the water. This is how | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
it looked after the storms hn the summer. Luckily, the communhty swung | :20:30. | :20:43. | |
into action. We have to thank the people here. We put adverts show for | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
people to come and help and people would just along and give as one or | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
two of the help to clear all the storms as many hands make lhght | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
work. Calls have been drilldd for new railings. We are here over the | :21:04. | :21:18. | |
winter and we felt we could help out. We are a firm which spdcialises | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
in this type of work and we wanted to be able to help them movd forward | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
and offer as much help as possible. There is still what to be done and | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
the fundraising continues. H am doing a bicycle charity raid. They | :21:40. | :21:49. | |
have said the pool is a verx important aspect of the town, put | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
proving a huge draw for loc`l people and also for visitors. | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
Gorgeous weather there in Btde. You can swim in the pool | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
at high tide now and, when the sluice gates go in next week, | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
it will be in use at all times of the day. | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
Many of you have been in totch regarding our story on potholes | :22:05. | :22:15. | |
One viewer says some of the car tax money should go on repeating the | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
roads. He said the roads ard going to rack and ruin, try cycling on | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
these roads. Comments coming in on our Facebook says. Filling hn | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
potholes is a waste of monex. Resurfacing the roads has to be the | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
priority. Time now for the weather. The sun has been blazing, you will | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
want to know what the weekend has in store. | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
It will be a fine weekend. Do not worry about that. To be precise it | :22:55. | :23:12. | |
is the day with the most nulber of minutes of daylight tomorrow. So, | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
from tomorrow, then Knights start to draw in gradually. It will seek warm | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
and mostly sunny, with high temperatures getting up to 23 | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
Celsius. Over the big satellite picture, you can see the extent of | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
this nice weather, over much of not only Great Britain, but also friends | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
burnt down in Spain. A bit of code in Scotland. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
The editors this evening. Not much change coming over the next couple | :23:50. | :24:01. | |
of days. Next, there is a slow and gradual change. There will be the | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
threat of showers once again. At the moment, the cloud has built up | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
slightly and this evening that is some cloud around. It has jtst built | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
up inland. There may be a bht of low cloud forming. Overnight | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
temperatures, still in double figures. For tomorrow, we are | :24:28. | :24:39. | |
looking more of same. Low cloud and mist clearing out the rear. We will | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
have the lot of fine weather tomorrow. As I say, the | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
temperatures, into the 20s, maybe slightly cooler up along thd | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
northern coast. Here the high water times: | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
I mention the suffering, it has been rather disappointing. | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
And the next four days, prolising much of the same. Perhaps a bit more | :25:22. | :25:41. | |
clothes around into early ndxt week. The jealous of showers on | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
