That's all from t`e BBA Fews `t Six, so it's good"ye fro- md, | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Sacked for gross misconduct ` a police officer has been dhsmissed. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
It's understood he'd hit soleone. Good evening Devon and | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Cornwall's Chief Constable has told Spotlight he wanted to send a clear | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
conduct fell below the standards expected of offices on and off duty. | :00:22. | :02:09. | |
The dismissal of police staff is incredibly rare, and as such I look | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
at the systems and processes that enforce that. We have had an | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
unprecedented period for thhs service but I have to confront that, | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
deal with it and tell the ptblic deal with it and tell the ptblic | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
what we have done and an honest mistake will be treated hondstly and | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
fairly, a dishonest and dishonourable mistake if malicious, | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
you will not have a future hn this organisation. Devon and Cornwall | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Police police dismissed another officer for data protection | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
breaches. The chief constable has spoken out about expecting high | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
standards of professional integrity and honesty from his offices and | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
staff. There were other opthons available, aside from this lissing | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
this detective sergeant, thd fact he has chosen to do so is a public | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
demonstration of the tough stance he intends to take with offices and | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
staff who step out of line. `` officers. | :03:12. | :03:12. | |
A woman who's had major surgery cancelled twice, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
says she doesn't believe Cornwall's main hospital can cope with | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
On both occasions Barbara Ctrnow was about to go into theatre | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust says it's having to cancel planned | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
surgery because of the increasing number of patients | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Barbara was booked in for a major operation two weeks ago, shd had | :03:31. | :03:45. | |
seen the anaesthetist and w`s about to go to theatre when was a change | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
plan. I had my blood taken, I was given pre`med, I had to go `nd wait | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
in the waiting room, and thdn ten o'clock the deputy manager came and | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
said sorry, there is no beds, we have cancelled your operation. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Barbara was given another d`te for the operation this week. Thhs time | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
she had changed into her down for surgery when she was once again told | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
the operation had been cancdlled. The deputy manager came agahn and | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
said I am sorry but it has been cancelled again. He said I should | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
not have been told there was a bed because there was not a bed for me. | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
She says for other women wahting were given the same news. Today the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
hospital trust admitted there was a problem. They said their mahn | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
challenge continues to be the increasing number of patients | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
requiring emergency and urgdnt care while they struggle to discharge | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
patients to suitable care ottside. They say they apologise to `ny | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
patient who has had the operation cancelled at short notice. The trust | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
have been here before, last October bed blocking and high number of the | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
patients left asking if people needed be there. They are btilding | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
new houses and estates in Cornwall and the hospital cannot copd, there | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
are too many people. Barbar` has been given another date for the | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
operation but she has been told although she is a priority case | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
there are no guarantees it will go ahead. | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
There have been renewed calls for a transit site | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
for travellers because of a series of illegal camps in Cornwall. | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
Travellers have been using car parks around the county causing traffic | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
problems for shoppers and in one case parents experienced | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
problems trying to drop off their children at a primary school. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
The travellers had parked their caravans in a car park run by the | :05:38. | :05:51. | |
council. The car park is normally used by shoppers and parents taking | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
children to the school. These parents say the travellers caravans | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
have made finding a space dhfficult. It is really busy at school times | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
anyway. There is nowhere to park. Where is their safety? It is causing | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
problems with cars piling up. Somebody could get injured. We have | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
knocked on the caravans but nobody has come out to speak to us. One | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
traveller we spoke to earlidr said they were originally from Ireland, | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
they had been in Scotland and had travelled down to spend somd time in | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Cornwall on holiday. This is the third `` third time travelldrs have | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
moved into a car park in Cornwall are weak. These travellers from | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
France parked up in Truro for several days. They used up 30 car | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
spaces. Cornwall does not h`ve a transit site for travellers and an | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
application to build one was turned down. We have been looking for some | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
time now to establish a transit site for such situations as this where we | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
can direct them to a transit site where they pay a fee and it is | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
facilitated well and it was refused at planning permission. We `re | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
looking at the options at the moment. The travellers were served | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
with a court injunction and have to move. They have travelled f`rther | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
west and are now in Penzancd. A pony charity's caused uproar by | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
suggesting that one of the best ways of protecting Dartmoor Ponids is to | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
sell them for human consumption In a letter the | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Dartmoor Hill Pony Associathon says it's reluctantly put forward | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
the idea because it's concerned But South West Equine Protection | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
believes it wouldn't solve the problem of too many unw`nted | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
ponies on Dartmoor, and would More on that on Inside Out on | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Monday. News that beds at some Devon | :07:41. | :07:54. | |
community hospitals have bedn earmarked for closure has unsettled | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
staff and will damage patient care, Crediton, Axminster and Ottdry St | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Mary Hospitals will lose beds, under A final decision will be made after | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
12 weeks' consultation, and Northern Devon Healthcare, says it's | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
supporting workers who are `ffected. However, staff representatives say | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
the uncertainty will take its toll. I think staff will stop looking for | :08:15. | :08:27. | |
talented employment, that whll put the organisation and servicds at | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
risk. We will find it difficult to recruit, we are struggling with | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
retaining as it is in the ottlying areas because everyone feels totally | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
unsettled and the person it affects the most is the patient. Thdy will | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
be the people that will suffer through this. | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
The UKIP leader Nigel Faragd has dismissed Cornwall's billion`pound | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
European aid programme as "a bit of funding spent on things | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
He also said UKIP would cut all subsidies for wind power, | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
meaning that every turbine hn the South West would be unvhable. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Mr Farage was talking to our Political Editor Martyn Oates | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
ahead of the party's conferdnce which began today. | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
Places like the Southwest too poorly in terms of funding for public | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
services compared to Scotland and many in the rural South West feel | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
they get a fairly raw deal compared to the rest of England. Do xou | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
sympathise? I do, the Barnett formula has been deeply unf`ir on | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
areas like the Southwest whhch much is the Southwest is pretty, it has | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
serious areas of deprivation and unemployment. The other are` where | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
the Southwest is terribly is here we are talking about spending ?70 | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
billion on a project when it is five hours 11 minutes from Paddington to | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
Penzance. It was quicker 100 years ago. The Southwest is the forgotten | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
part of England. One source of money is money from Europe becausd that | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
has been allocated on basis of need. There was some money under the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
category one funding. An awful lot of it was swallowed up in | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
administration services in Bristol which is a long way from Cornwall | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
and it is only a bit of mondy coming back. We could argue about that | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
Would Cornwall have got that money? Looking ahead, is call going to get | :10:27. | :10:37. | |
more money, no, because going on from her Cornwall knobby qu`lifying | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
for EU money... We have let in much poorer countries and a bit of | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
European funding, some expenditure on a new car park... University | :10:50. | :11:00. | |
broadband? A few look at thd amount of money that is spent in Cornwall | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
it is very small. What Cornwall needs is genuine regeneration, | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
business opportunities. You cannot argue with what has been spdnt in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Cornwall is more than a fraction of a percentage of the economy of the | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Southwest. But not on trivi`l things. It is, the European money | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
that has come back as not come back in funding but to pay land `` | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
landowners or has come back indirectly to pay people to put up | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
wind turbines. A few take the overall balance of it, it isn't | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
good. Ed Miliband and David Cameron this week made big announcelents | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
about the need to combat clhmate change and built the green dnergy | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
industry. You think that is codswallop? Windstar binds `re ugly, | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
they don't work, we cannot store electricity, they have put tp | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
domestic electricity prices. Would you close the current ones? I would | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
not continue with subsidies so they would be unviable. Thank yot very | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
much. A disused dairy in south Devon which | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
used to employ more than 150 people The Dairy Crest plant in Totnes | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
closed in 2008. It's stood empty ever since, | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
but now part of the site has been For seven years the gate of this | :12:23. | :12:40. | |
site has been locked, today we are going to open these gates. | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
A derelict site reclaimed by the community. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
The dream ` to see this forler dairy transformed into a sustainable | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
development called Atmos Totnes shaped by local people. | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
Sad to see it as it is. I w`s manager here for eight or nhne years | :12:57. | :13:09. | |
back in the 1980s. Wonderful. He is wonderful. | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
Getting here has been anythhng but a piece of cake, but agreement | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
has finally been reached with Dairy Crest on a way forward. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
We would like to thank the community of this town for supporting us over | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
the last seven years. This hs a remarkable place and what unfolds on | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
this site will be correspondingly remarkable. | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
The site has been divided into three parcels of land. | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
Dairy Crest have sold one to developers McCarthy Stone, | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
The second, with its listed chimney, part of Brunel's Atmospheric | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
railway, has been sold to the Totnes Community Development Society | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
We have been impressed by the passion and hard work put into the | :13:46. | :14:00. | |
project by Totnes community development Society and we `re | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
pleased with where we have come out and the hard work begins now. | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
The third parcel of land cotld also eventually be purchased | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
by the Community, once planning has been approved and a value agreed. | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Local people will now be consulted before a masterplan is drawn up | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
A community referendum will then be held next Autumn. | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
Work could begin as early as March 2016. | :14:19. | :14:29. | |
A North Devon newspaper in which a columnist described homosdxuality | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
as 'an aberration' has been criticised by gay rights groups | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
The editor of the South Molton and District News ` | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
who was questioned by policd ` stood by his decision to publish | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
People reading the column in South Molton. | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
The paper's editor said it was close to the mark ` | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
South Moulton is a nice place and a few people would find that puite | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
The column, whose writer has the pen nale Grave | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
Turner, describes homosexuality as 'an aberration' and links it to | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
The article says such persons as suffer from it should be treated | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
It is just hate, really. It is people blaming everyone elsd for | :15:13. | :15:25. | |
their own failings and pickhng on the minority. It isn't really fair. | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
The MP for the area and gay rights campaigners thought | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
If they had done this about black people there would have been an | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
outrage or Jewish people. To do it about gay people is equally | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
offensive to those on the wrong end of it. It is a fine line, I do not | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
think it is right and responsible for a newspaper to publish `n | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
article which is likely to stir up animosity against any section of a | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
Editor Paul Henderson said the monthly paper exists to | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
The editor did not want to be interviewed by us saying he was | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
camera shy. He gave a statelent which said we apologise to `nyone | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
who has been offended by thhs article, it is not what we hntend to | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
do. following complaints, but no | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
action's been taken. Farmers are being urged to provide | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
more of their own water The call comes from South Wdst Water | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
which says, with increasing domestic deland | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
for treated mains water, farmers could make better use of thd water | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
which is already on their l`nd. Bedrugan Barton farm is nearly four | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
hundred acres of grassland `nd They've got more than 600 sheep | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
and a some cows. Robin Kendall's family have farmed | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
this land for over 300 years. Now they're using a modern version | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
of water pumping technology his The joy of the system is it uses no | :16:54. | :17:09. | |
power other than the water, it is the weight of water flowing down the | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
hill from a holding tank whhch works the pump, when it is done its job it | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
flows back, 20% is pumped uphill to water troughs all over the farm It | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
is free water providing there was enough industry at a great deal of | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
water to places you need on the farm which is useful for us. | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
Here they've put the system in after agreeing to fence off the stream to | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
stop animals from contaminating the water ` making it safer | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
But South West Water say thdse "papa" pumps, | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
which are made in Cornwall, can also be used to pump water | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
into storage tanks during flooding to be released during dry wdather. | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
So why is the water company trying to offload its farming customers? | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
There has been lots of development as you are aware, more housds the go | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
up means there is more demand on the mains water so if we can encourage | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
farmers to use natural water when there is plenty in abundancd it | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
makes sense to use that watdr rather than the mains. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Some argue that its simply good business sense to sell water to | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
domestic customer who use ldss and pay more than farmers do. | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
South West Water say around two hundred farmers `re using | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
similar pumps, they want many more to become self sufficient in water. | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
The tricky job of transferring goods and epuipment | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
from ship to ship at sea should be a little easier in future thanks to | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
a brand new training facility in South East Cornwall. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
Our defence reporter Scott Bingham has been to have a look at | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
the 25 million pound replenhshment at sea rig at HMS Raleigh. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Replicating on dry land the refuelling of a Royal N`vy | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Frigate from a Royal Fleet @uxiliary tanker across 55 metres of ocean. | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
RAS, short for Replenishment At Sea, is as vital a skill today | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Imagine at night the rig is moving towards each other, the ship is | :19:07. | :19:20. | |
close, big loads and the careful control that has to be directed from | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
within the support ship to dnsure it is conducted safely is quitd | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
high`tech. The rig has been setup to replicate three classes of Royal | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Navy vessel, on the left of the type 23 frigate come on the right the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
type 45 destroyer and behind me in the centre the Queen Elizabdth class | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
aircraft carrier, the largest vessel ever built for the Royal Navy. It | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
The new carriers required a doubling of the RAS load. | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
The unit was developed for that purpose and the trials were | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
successfully carried out on equipment we designed so th`t was | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
the challenge for us, this was nice to have as a result of having done | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
The official opening was carried out by Flag officer Sea Training, | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Rear Admiral Ben Key, but the new classroom block is named in honour | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
It is routinely a retired Admiral or someone from the Greek gods but | :20:16. | :20:27. | |
there was a lot of thought process taking place and the administrator | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
in the office said he spends so much time why don't we call it the Deakin | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
The Rig will be used to trahn Royal Navy and Royal Fleet @uxiliary | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
crews as well as sailors from overseas into the future. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
Now how do you feel about the idea of having your own local currency? | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Exeter is due to be the next place to launch its very own pound. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
A group there wants to model itself on the Totnes pound where | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
a hundred and forty shops accept the local notes. | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
Totnes on the banks of the River Dart, it is renowned for its | :20:56. | :21:10. | |
alternative culture, small independent retailers and b`ttle to | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
keep the coffee giant Costa coffee out of town. It is also famous for | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
this. The Totnes pound. Allow other cities and towns are followhng suit. | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
A stroll around the high street to reveal a plethora of shops dager to | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
take your Totnes pound. 140 retailers embrace the local currency | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
but what is the point? We are trying to keep money circulating locally | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
because after all this is a tourist town in Totnes and it takes a lot of | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
effort from many people to bring money into the area so we are trying | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
to keep it circulating for `s long as possible. It is an initi`tive | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
that has captured the imagination of this city of Exeter. It is ` city | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
that has a lot of history and pride and identity and we feel thd people | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
of Exeter if they have their own currency will help that comlunity | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
spirit and feeling and get behind local businesses and shops. Back in | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
Totnes, is the currency in circulation? I would like tdn Totnes | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
pounds. Alan should be able to Tammy. He exchanges and self Totnes | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
pounds from his shop. It is helping us, I have sold ?9,000 from here and | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
that goes into the local economy, it cannot go anywhere else, it stays in | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
Totnes. That is the best bit about it. I am armed with my Totnds pounds | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
and I can buy shoes and shirts and beads that Totnes may be twhnned | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
with Narnia but in this Narnia I cannot spend my Totnes pounds. Do | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
you have Totnes pounds? I h`ve just spent them. I had four. No, I don't. | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
Have you thought of getting them? I just haven't got round to it. I did | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
get round to it, my Totnes pounds bought me a very nice cup of coffee. | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
For those of you with a fear of spiders, it's probably thme to | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
The dry and warm weather we've been enjoying is also proving to be great | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
for spiders who are able to feast on more insects than usual. | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
And 'tube web' or 'cellar' spiders are doing particularly well | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
in the South West, recently spotted in parts of Exeter | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
Despite having green jaws that glow in the dark, | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
They some lovely! Most of the spiders are venomous, they do have | :23:46. | :23:57. | |
some venom to kill their prdy but the vast majority are unabld to bite | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
us because their fangs are not big enough or unable to penetrate skin. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
It is incredibly rare to get bitten by a spider. Some people have a bit | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
of a reaction and then you get a bacterial infection and that can | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
happen from the scratch of ` bramble or a cat so those other things where | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
you see these horror stories in the paper, my arm dropped off, ht is an | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
infection as a result of people scratching their bites, not the bite | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
itself. That's OK then! The weather is to blame, apparently. David, it | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
is your fault. We have some fine | :24:38. | :26:35. | |
The coastal waters forecast has not a great deal of wind, quite breezy | :26:36. | :27:23. | |
but the wind will drop overnight. Cloudy through the weekend, also | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
quite foggy first thing on Saturday but it should remain dry, the chance | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
of light rain as a to start next week. Have a nice evening! | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
Thank you, David. That is it from us. You can follow us on Facebook | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
and see some of the films. We are back at 6:30pm tomorrow. Have a | :27:44. | :27:44. | |
evening. | :27:45. | :27:49. |
