And the future of Devon's bdavers ` stay or go?

:00:35.:00:41.

15 people suspected of being illegal immigrants have

:00:42.:00:43.

been found in a lorry in Solerset which was bound for Exeter.

:00:44.:00:46.

One man has been arrested and is being held by police.

:00:47.:00:49.

The lorry was stopped by officers on the A303 at the Southfield

:00:50.:00:52.

Those inside have been treated for suspected dehydration.

Spotlight's Hamish Marshall is there for us tonight.

:01:00.:01:01.

This service station was thd centre of a major police operation. The

:01:02.:01:15.

lorry was parked up just ovdr there this afternoon. There were police,

:01:16.:01:21.

there were Home Office staff here as well as paramedics. One by one, the

:01:22.:01:25.

suspected illegal in the swdll brought of the lorries, thex were

:01:26.:01:28.

checked over by paramedics to see how they were. The alarm had been

:01:29.:01:33.

raised around one o'clock. There were a number of calls from drivers

:01:34.:01:40.

on the road saying they could hear people inside a wagon. It w`s pulled

:01:41.:01:42.

off here and that is when the operation swung into action.

:01:43.:01:46.

Everyone was brought out individually after we had ghven them

:01:47.:01:50.

some water. They had a comprehensive health check and then they were

:01:51.:01:54.

placed into one of our police vehicles and taken to a place of

:01:55.:01:59.

safety. What did they tell xou about where they had come from? They said

:02:00.:02:06.

they got on at the Channel port at Calais. How they got to Cal`is, I do

:02:07.:02:09.

not know but they were obviously hoping to get to the UK. Thd people

:02:10.:02:16.

were taken away at about 4:30pm this afternoon. They have been looked

:02:17.:02:20.

after and given hot food and drinks. Police have more qudstions

:02:21.:02:25.

to ask them. They say they came from Eritrea and Kashmir. They h`ve not

:02:26.:02:30.

given any more details. The lorry company is cooperating with the

:02:31.:02:34.

police, as is the lorry driver, who has told officers he was not aware

:02:35.:02:38.

they were on his vehicle. Questioning now will continte but

:02:39.:02:42.

this operation has got some more time to run to find out how those

:02:43.:02:48.

people got on the lorry and how they came to be heading towards the

:02:49.:02:49.

south`west. Rail passengers in the south west

:02:50.:02:56.

are bracing themselves for Today the Government announced there

:02:57.:02:58.

would be an average rise of 3.5 % for regulated fares,

:02:59.:03:02.

that's one percentage point above The rail operators say it whll mean

:03:03.:03:05.

more trains, better stations and faster services, but passengers are

:03:06.:03:09.

angry they'll have to pay hhgher fares which are going up faster than

:03:10.:03:12.

average wages, and the RMT tnion says people will be priced

:03:13.:03:15.

off the railways. Spotlight's John Ayres has the

:03:16.:03:17.

story. Campaigners have been at st`tions

:03:18.:03:24.

today demanding change. As fare rises are announced,

:03:25.:03:31.

groups such as Action For R`il and the unions are calling

:03:32.:03:34.

for the franchises to be brought I think the public have been ripped

:03:35.:03:47.

off on the whole privatisathon game. The time is now, we can makd a

:03:48.:03:51.

difference if we all pull together on this. There have been directly

:03:52.:04:00.

operated railways for three years. It returns a load of money to the

:04:01.:04:05.

taxpayer. You get more on`thme trends, less complaints and cheaper

:04:06.:04:08.

fares. Assuming the individual fards rise

:04:09.:04:09.

by the average 3.5%, an off`peak return from Exeter to

:04:10.:04:12.

London Paddington will go up by ?3.50 to ?104.50 and the same

:04:13.:04:14.

ticket from Penzance to Birlingham People are finding it difficult to

:04:15.:04:34.

survive anyway. On top of that, it will not make people's lives easier.

:04:35.:04:39.

It is going up but the qualhty of service is not going up with the

:04:40.:04:42.

cost. If the cost was going up and it was getting better, it mhght be

:04:43.:04:48.

just about worth it, but it is not. For longer journeys it is probably

:04:49.:04:51.

unfair but I do not make too many long journeys.

:04:52.:04:55.

Regulated fares, which incltde season tickets, have gone up by more

:04:56.:04:58.

than the rate of inflation hn most years since 2004, which increases

:04:59.:05:00.

the share of rails costs for passengers rather than taxp`yers.

:05:01.:05:05.

If the rail delivery group which represents the railway, says there

:05:06.:05:16.

is macro pay for `` fares p`id for better stations and what is your's

:05:17.:05:24.

safest network. People who `re dependent upon season tickets are

:05:25.:05:27.

trapped. They have to pay the additional because they do not have

:05:28.:05:31.

an alternative. The only thhng that is good is there is a massive

:05:32.:05:34.

increase in the amount of money being invested on the rallids.

:05:35.:05:40.

Unfortunately, not down herd in the south`west. The fare increases will

:05:41.:05:42.

come into force in January. And here at Spotlight we'd like to

:05:43.:05:49.

it knew some of its supplies Trewithen Dairy has voluntarily

withdrawn the milk and clotted cream which has been affected,

:06:09.:06:11.

but says up to 100,000 litrds The Food Standards Agency s`ys

:06:12.:06:14.

the risk of harm is low, but Spotlight has been contacted by a

number of people who are concerned. Alex Munro has frozen the Trewithen

would check. He did not comd back to me but by this time I felt perfectly

:07:05.:07:08.

OK will stop I was worried that other people who were older or

:07:09.:07:12.

perhaps for a young might h`ve been affected in some way. You knew about

:07:13.:07:20.

it on the Saturday. We knew about it because a shopkeeper phoned me up.

:07:21.:07:26.

Trewithen Dairy founder and director was fielding calls at BBC R`dio

:07:27.:07:30.

Cornwall today as the company worked to reassure consumers. He s`id

:07:31.:07:35.

100,000 litres may have been contaminated after a small `mount of

:07:36.:07:39.

cleaning fluid went into thd milk at one of its supply farms. He also

:07:40.:07:43.

said they notified the authorities as soon as they were alerted to the

:07:44.:07:49.

possible contamination by ctstomers. By hindsight there is no more we

:07:50.:07:53.

could have done to react more quickly. I think all of the people

:07:54.:07:56.

at the dairy have reacted vdry quickly. The products affected our

:07:57.:08:03.

whole, semi and skimmed milk dated the 25th 26th of. Also liquhd cream

:08:04.:08:09.

and clotted cream dated the 26th and 27th of August. The food st`ndards

:08:10.:08:15.

agency said it was unlikely that anybody would become ill from

:08:16.:08:19.

drinking the milk but urged people not to consume it. Cornwall Council

:08:20.:08:23.

said environmental health officers were investigating the causd of the

:08:24.:08:24.

incident. Three people suffered minor injuries

:08:25.:08:28.

in a fire One was treated for burns

:08:29.:08:30.

and the others for the effects The fire involved the underlay

:08:31.:08:34.

plant on the ground floor. Officers say the incident

:08:35.:08:37.

was contained very quickly. We do have a lot of information on

:08:38.:08:49.

the site. Thankfully, some of the guys on the fire engine tod`y had

:08:50.:08:53.

worked at the factory beford so they knew the area well and were able to

:08:54.:08:56.

use that local knowledge to our advantage.

The M5 into Somerset was closed today for five and

Six people were taken to hospital after the accident near junction 13,

A thief who stole a boat and then left it drifting whth its

:09:09.:09:11.

engine running ` causing a huge air and sea search ` has been criticised

:09:12.:09:14.

for wasting tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers' mondy.

The inflatable boat was found near Town Quay in Fowey

Search teams assumed somebody had fallen overboard.

The inflatable boat was seen by residents with its engind

Two lifeboats, three harbour patrol vessels and a Royal Navy rescue

:09:38.:09:55.

helicopter were involved in the four`hour search, a total of 30

:09:56.:10:01.

It now appears no`one had f`llen overboard ` the boat had bedn

It is so frustrating. Obviotsly we have to respond on the assulption

:10:05.:10:13.

that someone is in distress. When someone is in distress we whll move

:10:14.:10:18.

heaven and earth to get to their raid. But it is really irritating

:10:19.:10:22.

when you find in all probabhlity, it is down to petty theft and

:10:23.:10:26.

inconsiderate people abandoning a boat after they have stolen it, to

:10:27.:10:31.

be drifting around the harbour, tying up time, money and resources.

:10:32.:10:35.

All our lifeboat crew of volunteers. They all have real jobs in the

:10:36.:10:42.

daytime but their incomes are prejudiced by people's inconsiderate

behaviour. Coastguards in Ellesmere Port were

nature you fear the worst. The removal of the vote was filled by

the CCTV cameras. I'm told the images have been handed to the

A man who was left profoundly deaf after contracting meningitis is

urging people to be more aw`re of its symptoms.

:11:27.:11:30.

Peter Lovell, from Devon, developed the illness

He says people need to watch out for symptoms from an early stagd and not

Words once spoken and heard are now written down. How 19`year`old girl

:12:56.:13:04.

but people say when he had darache, symptoms of another illness were

:13:05.:13:09.

emerging. There is a lot of publicity about picking up

:13:10.:13:13.

meningitis in babies and sm`ll children but not adults. It should

:13:14.:13:20.

not be overlooked. It can h`ppen to anybody. No one is immune to it I

had the rash about four days after I was in hospital. It does not

:13:26.:13:31.

necessarily come up first. Ht is complex but Peter is urging people

not to be distracted by a shdeshow, whether it is earache or se`rching

That's the question being debated tonight

:15:45.:15:47.

The animals were discovered living wild on the River Otter

:15:48.:15:51.

in east Devon but opinion is divided as to whether

:15:52.:15:53.

they should be rounded up and placed in captivity or left in the wild.

:15:54.:15:57.

Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.

:15:58.:16:05.

Here on the River Otter, thdre has been plenty of evidence of beaver

:16:06.:16:11.

activity along the waterway. Many local people have expressed opinions

:16:12.:16:15.

about what should happen and today there is a public debate in the town

:16:16.:16:20.

posing the question. What do people want to happen next? Would xou like

:16:21.:16:25.

them to stay or go? I would like them to stay if they are not doing

:16:26.:16:29.

too much damage. Apparently there is a query about whether they `re

:16:30.:16:37.

carrying disease. I think they should stay. It is a native

:16:38.:16:41.

species... It is their habitat. I cannot understand why peopld have so

:16:42.:16:46.

many worries about it. I thhnk it will be carefully monitored. I think

:16:47.:16:51.

the Beavers were native oncd upon a time so it is a really good move to

:16:52.:16:58.

bring them back again. DEFR@ says it is concerned about a parasite which

:16:59.:17:03.

can be transmitted by Beavers and is potentially dangerous to hulans It

:17:04.:17:07.

has already said it wants to track the animals and re`homed thdm. But

:17:08.:17:14.

today, Devon wildlife trust says it sees things quite differently. We

:17:15.:17:18.

want the opportunity to study these animals over the next five xears to

:17:19.:17:22.

learn what impact they do h`ve on the landscape. They coexist happily

:17:23.:17:27.

with fishermen right across mainland Europe. One ecologist says DEFRA is

:17:28.:17:33.

just about to trap the Beavdrs on the River Otter. It is clailed cages

:17:34.:17:37.

which have already been used in Scotland are now on their w`y to

:17:38.:17:42.

Devon. It is ironic that we are in Ottery Saint Mary and talking about

:17:43.:17:46.

how people feel about Beavers but we believe today DEFRA are picking up

:17:47.:17:53.

traps and they will be used to catch the Beavers here. The angling trust

:17:54.:18:01.

says it is concerned about the reintroduction of Beavers btt

:18:02.:18:04.

Professor Bryony Coles says she has discovered archaeological evidence

:18:05.:18:08.

in Somerset dating back thotsands of years showing Beavers can coexist

:18:09.:18:16.

quite happily with humans. Ht would be very interesting to see what

:18:17.:18:20.

might happen now, in terms of changes to the environment, and

:18:21.:18:25.

perhaps the return of some of it to a more natural state. DEFRA says it

:18:26.:18:32.

is taking precautionary acthon by trapping and testing the Be`vers. It

:18:33.:18:37.

was unable to confirm exactly when it would begin its programmd of

trapping the animals. Plymouth Leander swimmer Ben Proud

:23:38.:23:41.

scenes captured earlier tod`y, it was quite a bright picture. You can

:23:42.:23:51.

see some cloud around bubblhng up here and there. For many of us it

:23:52.:23:56.

has been a largely dry day. The sheep do not mind the blustdry wind

:23:57.:24:01.

too much. The breed has been filtering in from the north`west. It

:24:02.:24:06.

has added to the chilly field `` the breeze has been filtering them.

:24:07.:24:13.

There will be some good sunny spells to be had tomorrow. A few showers

:24:14.:24:16.

but fewer in number than today. We do keep the school feel. Thd breeze

:24:17.:24:22.

will be lighter and the temperatures may be a bit higher `` we do keep

:24:23.:24:32.

the cool feel. Much of the TK have experienced showers through today.

:24:33.:24:36.

It is all thanks to low pressure. That's it up across Scandin`via It

:24:37.:24:40.

drags this cool air across ts. There is not a lot of change as wd pushed

:24:41.:24:45.

through tomorrow. The breezd is gradually easing down. Not ` lot of

:24:46.:24:53.

change. Then we look ahead to Thursday. Low sinks southwards. We

:24:54.:24:57.

see more of a westerly wind coming in. On our radar and satellhte

:24:58.:25:05.

picture you can see we have had a few showers sliding across ts. Now

:25:06.:25:10.

for many of us, it is a dry picture. This evening should be a fahrly

:25:11.:25:16.

decent one. Some evening sunshine to be had. The cool breeze gradually

:25:17.:25:26.

easing down. It will be a cool night. These are the values in towns

:25:27.:25:30.

and cities. In the countryshde it could be four or 5 degrees. I think

:25:31.:25:34.

for some of us it could be the coolest night we have had shnce May.

:25:35.:25:42.

There will be a few showers tomorrow. It will be lighter than

:25:43.:25:54.

today and may feel a bit warmer If we take a look at the Isles of

:25:55.:25:59.

Scilly for tomorrow. A fairly decent story. And then these other of high

:26:00.:26:05.

water. And we take a look at the ndxt few

:26:06.:26:48.

days. The cloud will thicken on Thursday. That will increasd our

:26:49.:26:52.

shower risk. Friday should turn brighter once more. Saturdax looks

:26:53.:27:02.

like a decent day with some sunshine. But it will turn wet and

:27:03.:27:05.

windy for Sunday. Thank you. We will have mord news at

:27:06.:27:13.

10:25pm, including the storx about suspected illegal immigrants in

:27:14.:27:15.

Somerset. Have a good evening.
