The Trust at Dame Hannah Rogers school called | :00:14. | :00:25. | |
Parents are now having to make alternative arrangements. | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
It will be very tough for the families who have children here. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
There's concern the city's parks may be being used | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Millions of years in the making ` Portland plans to chart | :00:44. | :00:56. | |
5 million years, but if you, how would you know? | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
And back on dry land after two months at sea ` | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
but did these Atlantic rowers break the world record? | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
"In complete shock" ` that's how one parent has described the decision to | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
suspend some services at a Devon centre for children with physical | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
The announcement came after the Dame Hannah Rogers School referred | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
a potential safeguarding issue to Devon and Cornwall Police. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Families are now left trying to find alternative facilities | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
for their children, as Spotlight's Heidi Davey reports. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
The Dame Hannah Rogers School can look after up to 40 students | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
at its residential and short`term units in Ivybridge. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
It was at this site the school trust referred a potential safeguarding | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
With an investigation now active, OFSTED took | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
the decision to temporarily suspend the residential and short`term | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
services, leaving many families having to find alternative respite | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
I have been a parent here for a few years, and all that they | :02:00. | :02:11. | |
have done for him is quite amazing, and I have championed the school. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
I have always found the staff to be outstanding, committed | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
James has made incredible progress here. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
It has changed his life for the better. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
This family, like many others, travel from outside | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
The decision to close will have a very significant effect | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
on many families, beyond what you can possibly imagine, definitely. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
They will be suffering trying to cope without respite support, awake | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
at night looking after children who need night`time care, medical care. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
A spokesperson for the trust has told us this afternoon | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
it is clearly a very upsetting time for everybody involved, | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
but they are working very closely with the multi`agency investigation | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
It is keen to reiterate that that is why they referred the potential | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
safeguarding issue to the relevant authorities in the first instance. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
It has still not been made public what that exact referral was, but we | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
do know that OFSTED has currently suspended children's services here | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Clearly it is a distressing time for all the families and staff involved. | :03:25. | :03:36. | |
An inquest has heard how a husband, who was found dead alongside | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
his wife at their home in Cornwall, had convinced him | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
It?s believed Derisa Trenchard had been hit with a hammer. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
The bodies of her and her husband John were | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
discovered after worried colleagues reported them missing from work. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
John and Derisa Trenchard were found dead | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Derisa Trenchard had multiple head injuries. | :03:59. | :04:23. | |
The couple seemed devoted to their sons. | :04:24. | :04:36. | |
However, several months before their deaths, their two older | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
sons said they had noticed a change in their father's behaviour. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
They said he had become convinced that their mother was having | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
an affair, even though they told him that was extremely unlikely. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
They say in recent months he had been losing his temper and had been | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
seen throwing down tools. Is Wi`Fi recently started a job as a legal | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
secretary and I bought clothes and make`up. John told a work colleague | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
that he believed his wife was good to use her legal knowledge to leave | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
him and take his youngest son with him. He was given counselling from | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
his GP and the councillor said he was trying to work with him on his | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
depressive thoughts. But she said he never displayed any violent | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
tendencies are discussed taking his own life. The inquest continues. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
Hundreds of people have attended the funeral of the teenage | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
The service for the former Plymouth Argyle youth player was | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
He died after an alleged row at a taxi rank in the town last month. | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
42`year`old Lee Dent from East Portlemouth has been charged | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
22`year`old Henry Felton from Kingsbridge has been charged | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
Dorset Police says enquiries about trapped birds | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
and children refusing to go to school have contributed to delays | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Last month, the force took 28,000 calls | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
and fewer than half were answered in the target time of 30 seconds. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
That's compared with 54% for the same time last year. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Dorset police say the introduction of a new call | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
centre and an influx of tourists have made the delays worse. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
It's apologised and is asking people to e`mail | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
The Eden Project's setting up a new apprenticeship programme | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
for 16 to 24`year`olds in horticulture and cookery. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
Its aim is to have 25% of its workforce on the training scheme. | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
It's using a grant of ?80,000 from the Edge Foundation to set up | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
It'll be run in conjunction with the Cornwall College Group and be | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
The police are sending letters to more than 150 homes | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
in Exeter asking people to report irresponsible dog owners who are | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
teaching their pets to become vicious by attacking trees. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Volunteers from Exeter Parks Watch say they have evidence trees are | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
being badly damaged by dogs biting and clawing them. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Could this huge horse chestnut tree be a training tool | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
if the bark is damaged enough, it can actually kill the tree. | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
Here in Exeter's Bury Meadow Park, a ?500 award is on offer. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
These volunteers believe dogs are being trained to attack trees | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
What happens is, they will get a lure on a piece of string, dangle it | :07:32. | :07:44. | |
from the tree out of reach of the dog, and as the dog leaps and | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
becomes increasingly frenzied, it will rip and tear the bark because | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
this simulates tearing flesh and bone, frankly. | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
It is a wholly disgusting thing to do. | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
It is difficult to imagine who would do this. | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
It was a shock when I saw the trees so badly damaged. I am a forest by | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
trade, retired now, and the damage is pretty bad for a tree of that | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
size. The RSPCA says this is not the work | :08:17. | :08:17. | |
of an organised dogfighting gang. What we're seeing is irresponsible | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
owners who like showing off. They like the status | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
of having this type of dog. People do call them status dogs | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
because it is all about Last year 30 trees were attacked | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
in a nearby cemetery. Following this new attack, police | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
are sending out letters asking Devon and Cornwall police say | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
although dogfighting appears to be rare in this area, | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
it will not be tolerated. They say they welcome any | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
information about it, which will a Cathedral | :08:58. | :09:00. | |

from New York to Scilly. There's growing support | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
among some of the biggest names in science for the creation | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
of a giant monument, featuring The MEMO project, | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
which will cost nearly ?30 million, could attract up to 300,000 | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
visitors a year to the island. Here's our Dorset reporter | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Simon Clemison. A stone carver and the dream. It | :09:44. | :09:59. | |
will take more than a few chisels to create this masterpiece, however. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
The monument here will rise 70 feet into the air. The rugby views from | :10:04. | :10:08. | |

It will be fantastic, an extraordinary architectural thing. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
On the cliff, we are building a clifftop cathedral. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
The site is desolate, a disused quarry. As visitors dwell on the | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
dead, the hope is they will think more about the living. White | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Portland and its lifeless down to celebrate life? It was a piece of | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
Portland stone that helped scientists realise the creatures | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
were being wiped off the face of the earth. Be found fossil but could not | :10:53. | :11:04. | |
find a match for it in the living world them. In many ways, question | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
could be, where else would you build a ?20 million monument to extinct | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
species? Planning permission has been granted and work is beginning | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
on some of the carvings. It may have taken a few centuries for 800 | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
species to disappear, but in the history of the planet that is no | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
time at all, and researchers say extinction rates are much faster now | :11:24. | :11:24. | |
than in the days before human beings. | :11:25. | :11:24. | |
In geological terms it is happening In geological terms it is happening | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
like lightning. Tinge in terms it is slow. At the moment we are in a | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
period of geological scale extinction. If you were the Earth | :11:30. | :11:35. | |

you in our culture, how would you know? | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Some of the artists recreating the animals are having to work from | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
models of newest relatives. It is recognising their life, that | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
they have been alive and they are now gone forever. Their relatives | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
need to be looked after as well. The big question is funding, but | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
leaders of the project are confident the money will come in, and with | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
visitors it could further revitalise Portland as part of this | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
coastline's past becomes part of its future as well. | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
Many men who fought in the First World War never spoke | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
of their experiences and the horrors they'd witnessed, | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
but tonight, in the third of our World War I At Home series, we hear | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
John Mathews was left for dead on the battlefield but went on to | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
lead a long life in West Cornwall working on St Michael's Mount, | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
and sometimes sharing his memories of the Great War with his family. | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
I've been to meet his grandson, who's also called John Mathews, | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
My grandfather would have known what he was getting into, but like many | :12:44. | :13:11. | |
men at that time, King and country, he would have viewed it as an honour | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
to serve. But nothing can compare you for the culture shock that would | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
have faced him living on an idyllic island not much more than a boy. | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
In March 1918 like so many soldiers before him, John Matthews was | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
injured and knocked unconscious. When he came round he had been moved | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
to different place on the battlefield, but until a friend | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
visited West Cornwall in 1979, he never knew how or why. | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
The chap knocked on my grandfather's door and said, you are | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
John Matthews. Served in the great War? Yes. He said, you're dead, | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
Haji? And my grandfather said, I don't think so. And the chap said, | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
you're meant to be. My grandfather asked him why he thought he was | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
dead, and it transpired that when he had been badly wounded by shrapnel, | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
his best mate in the platoon had seen him fall and him and another | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
Tommy tried to carry him back. As they were carrying him, they thought | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
he was already dead, and there was another Tommy calling for help was | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
obviously a life. So they dumped my grandfather and picked up the other | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
Tommy. When he came to, he was faced with a German soldier, towards them | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
with his rifle and bayonet. And my grandfather 's thought he was either | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
going to shoot him or stab him, but the German soldier didn't, he | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
stabbed the end of his rifle into the earth to allow my grandfather to | :14:49. | :14:58. | |
pull himself up, and he was taken to a German field dressing station. The | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
easiest thing to do because of the amount of flesh that was blown off | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
was to chop his leg off armour but the German surgeon took time, | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
patched it up, and saved my grandfather's Lake. `` saved his | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
leg. When it was over, John Hahn time | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
convalescing in a military hospital. He became friends with a | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
young woman. When it was time to go back to the island, he said goodbye | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
to her, never dreaming he would see Doris again. But that was not to be | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
the case. One day the board called in, and my | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
grandfather on the front thought, "I know that hat!" And then, "I know | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
that what!" He started walking towards and being a romantic, he | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
said to her, " what entire nation are you doing here?" She said she | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
was a new kitchen maid at the castle. In 1923 they got married. | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
They were completely devoted to one another from 1923 until his death in | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
1988, completely and utterly devoted. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
After their wedding, John Matthews worked back on the mound for 40 | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
years. He was filmed in 1949 in his role as island postman, either | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
ruling to the island walking across the cobbled causeway to deliver the | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
mail. Every so often he shared stories of his wartime experiences. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
As a man and a boy, his grandson so loved to listen to his tales of life | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
on the line. My grandfather would get a parcel | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
from home and give it all away. And his mates would say he was mad. "all | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
this handsome food!" And I could see my grandfather saying, " I knew, | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
boy, I knew! "because his mother thought the most important thing in | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
life was to be regular, and so every piece of fruit was laced with | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
something to make your regular! There were also other more gruesome | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
memories that John never shared. After he died, my Nan said to me | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
that write`up too close to his death she would be walking with him | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
sobbing with nightmares. He could never forget what he experienced and | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
what he went through. There are people who paid the ultimate | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
sacrifice, but they're suffering ended when they were shot. For my | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
grandfather, until he was two weeks away from 90 years old, he carried | :17:42. | :17:52. | |
that. 72 years of nightmares. John clearly never fully got over | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
to lead a long and happy life on the to lead a long and happy life on the | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
island with the wife he met when he was convalescing from his wartime | :18:04. | :18:08. | |

make it big for England. He has twice already recorded career`best | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
scores, and accompanied that with his best bowling figures. Not | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
surprisingly, he has been recognised by his country for this one day | :19:07. | :19:10. | |

test yourself against those kind of players. If you can prove yourself, | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
it is a massive confidence boost and you can take that on. | :19:31. | :19:37. | |

Happy to be here. It has been a long trip. | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
It was beyond belief, the 3000 miles they have rowed in all sorts of | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
weather. Sharks following them, Wales surprising them. It has been | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
epic. A couple of hours later a small | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
flotilla escorted into St Mary's harbour where a true welcome waited | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
for the record`breaking pair. APPLAUSE | :22:01. | :22:15. | |
. We only said we would never do it | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
again. We're talking about doing another one now! | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
The pain was excruciating. But the welcome has been credible. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
The guys have set a record today, 60 days, that is a tough record to | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
beat. On behalf of the children and | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
families who need our help, thank you, Chris, thank you, Elliott. | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
We're so proud of you. There are suspicions that and I's | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
party might go on into the early hours. | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
Someone was clever with the soundtrack, when they? | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
It was looking beautiful on the silly I, but they had some pretty | :23:08. | :23:20. | |
strong winds after hurricane after. We will have more in the way of | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
sunshine tomorrow. Mainly dry. This group of cloud is parting as it | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
moves towards us. It will produce some hybrids of rain. Behind that we | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
have a ridge of high pressure for much of the day tomorrow, and then | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
things start to go downhill somewhat. This is the chart for | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
Friday. It is that area of low pressure that could produce | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
outbreaks of rain as we move towards the end of the week. There isn't | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
high`pressure near as we go towards Friday, so it does become more | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
unsettled. A few showers this evening coming in on a gentle | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
breeze. Overnight temperatures will fall a little lower than last | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
night. Any showers we do see this evening will fade away. Enough clear | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
sky to bring the temperatures lower than last night. Between 12 and 14 | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
Celsius for many of us. Tomorrow is not bad. Some patchy cloud, but | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
mostly dry. The chance of a few showers moving through the English | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
Channel. In terms of temperature, it will reach 19 degrees on the coach, | :24:40. | :24:49. | |
`` on the coast, but 22 degrees the top figure. Much lighter winds on | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
the Isles of Scilly and we have seen. The high water times: And the | :24:58. | :25:10. | |
surf isn't too bad. This is from today, glorious | :25:11. | :25:27. | |
sunshine and a proper summer day on the south coast of Devon. The | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
sunshine has been out over most of the area, some showers, but they | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
have been the exception. I'm sure our cameraman got himself an ice | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
cream. The sea temperature is around 18 or 19 degrees, still unusually | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
warm for the time of year. For the coastal waters forecast: | :25:52. | :26:03. | |
Rebecca mentioned that we have wet weather heading our way. We might | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
see showers on Saturday, quite blustery conditions. On Sunday the | :26:11. | :26:18. | |
remnants of an old Harry Kane that is moving across the Harry Kane as | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
an old tropical storm, it will be weak when it gets to us, but that | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
could bring a spell of unusually wet and windy conditions on Sunday. We | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
don't know the exact area of low pressure, it could be into the | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
middle of France or the south of England. I will update you using our | :26:41. | :26:50. | |
