Good evening. is all from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On Spotlight tonight: The verdict on the death of a junior doctor. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
An inquest hears Rose Polge was under pressure from long hours | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
and struggled with self doubt before taking her own life. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Her family have called for more to be done to tackle the crisis | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Also tonight: Unwrapping the confusion over recycling - | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
why getting rid of your Christmas paper won't be as | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
And I am live along with the elves in the North Pole in the heart of | :00:23. | :00:39. | |
Devon where we are about to climb on board the Polar Express and we are | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
launching a week-long journey of Christmas trains and tails as it | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
travels through the region. Join me for Christmas excitement in about | :00:50. | :00:50. | |
ten minutes time. The family of a young doctor | :00:51. | :01:05. | |
from Devon, who took her own life, have called for action to deal | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
with what they call 25-year-old Rose Polge walked | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
into the sea after after talking about the pressure of her job | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
as a junior doctor Following the inquest into her death | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
today, her family pointed to the increasingly heavy workloads | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
that are leading to a "crisis in morale" of our next | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
generation of doctors. Rose Polge was 25 and a talented | :01:27. | :01:41. | |
doctor but she was doubting her abilities, although she was said to | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
be progressing well. Her family arrived at the coroner 's Court to | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
hear of the events which led to her death earlier this year. A statement | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
by Rosa's boyfriend was read out at the inquest. He said he was woken by | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
high on February 12. She said she had been walking the beach. He | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
described her as distressed and being concerned about a stretch of | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
11 days of ships at Torbay Hospital. He said she was having self doubts | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
about her profession and she asked him if he would stay with her if she | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
laughed. He said he would. Later, rose grow to Anstey 's code to | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
entire life. She looked at suicide sites on the Internet and left two | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
notes. One made a reference to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Rosa's | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
body was found six weeks later. Her family said their concerns about the | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
workload of junior doctors. As he returned a verdict of death by | :02:42. | :03:07. | |
immersion in water, the coroner said it was cleared that Rose was unhappy | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
and that she had left two notes. He was satisfied she had entered the | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
water to take her own life. He described her as being highly | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
regarded and a caring doctor who was a tremendous loss to the profession. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Eight Cornish towns are teaming up with the Fire Service and police | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
will be recorded and monitored by staff based at the Fire Service's | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
Critical Control Centre in Tolvaddon. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
It will be funded by the town councils via council tax, | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
and as Tamsin Melville reports, it's being hailed as | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
We can zoom in that close that we can read a menu | :03:45. | :03:56. | |
on a restaurant, so the actual clarity is brilliant on this system. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
State-of-the-art CCTV cameras across eight Cornish towns, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
running 24 hours a day and live monitored for 44 hours a week | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
from here at the Fire Service Critical Control Centre. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
There are towns in Cornwall that are working in partnership together, | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
but as far as we are aware, nationally, there is not eight town | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
councils that have come together to create a network such as this. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
This is the CCTV camera in the centre of Camborne. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
There's 80 of these cameras across the eight towns | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
in West Cornwall signed up to the project and it's | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
costing the taxpayers in those towns ?33 an hour. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
The town councils are sharing that cost and the community is paying | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
via their own part of council tax bills, after cuts put a stop | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
It gives us tremendous opportunity to contribute towards the safety | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
of residents within Cornwall, not only to consider | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
and identify and look at crime, but also to protect the vulnerable | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
CCTV, seen here, is said to have played a crucial part in convicting | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
two men for the murder of soldier Dave Curnow on a night out | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
But where some say it is an invaluable tool, | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
others say it violates privacy and question its effectiveness. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
If you are doing nothing wrong, you have absolutely nothing to worry | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
about and I think it is definitely a deterrent there for people | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
who are considering committing crime, or being involved | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Those involved say there's scope in the future for other Cornish | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Detectives are tonight still questioning a 35-year-old man | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
The body of 44-year-old Gary Miller from Devonport was found | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
at a flat on Union Street in Plymouth on Saturday. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
A postmortem examination found he died from a head injury. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Throughout the day, forensic searches have been taking place | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
at what police are describing as "locations of interest". | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
The Penlee lifeboat disaster in which 16 people died, | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
including eight volunteer lifeboatmen, has been | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
35 years ago, the lifeboat was lost while repeatedly trying to rescue | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
the crew of the cargo ship Union Star in hurricane-force | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Scientists in Plymouth believe they may have come up with a way | :06:13. | :06:22. | |
to help make exercise easier if you're overweight. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
It's a device which helps with breathing and it's hoped it | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
could encourage people who are trying to lose weight, | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
Our health correspondent Jenny Walrond has been | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
It's called a bod pod and it measures your body size. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
It's one of a number of tests for volunteers who are hoping | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Megan and Justine are taking part in research by the University | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
of St Mark and St John into helping people with obesity who suffer | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Anything that is going to help me increase my respiratory muscles, | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
so I can take in a lot more and achieve more before I get | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
I struggle with my breathing quite a lot, I suffer from panic | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
attacks quite a lot, so I thought something to help | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
with my breathing would be something quite good to take part in. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
The volunteers are tested on how far they can walk in six minutes. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
But it's hoped that by breathing in through one of these devices, | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
60 times a day for four weeks, our volunteers will stregthen | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
the muscles around the lungs, enabling them to work | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
We are looking at individuals and seeing how they can | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
improve their respiratory performance and how that | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
moves into their physical performance as well, | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
because actually, a barrier to physical participation in people | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
who are overweight can actually just be the adiposity, the fat, | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
The device works by making it harder to breathe in. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Using it repeatedly strengthens the muscles around the lungs, | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
It has been used by athletes to improve their performance. | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
Now scientists want to see if it can have long-term effects | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
In four weeks, the volunteers will be tested again | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
and they will then do another month of the trial with exercise added in. | :08:19. | :08:31. | |
by Christmas wrapping paper and you might assume that it can go | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
However, several councils, including Exeter, North Devon and Torridge, | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Instead you're being encouraged to take it to a recycling | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
centre or just put it in with your general waste. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
And Cornwall council says it can only take paper that's not sparkly, | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Harriet Bradshaw's been investigating the different | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
You have got your decorations, gifts and set aside time | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
Well, those of us who are organised have. | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
But when the big event is all over, what happens to all that | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
For the first time in Exeter, the City Council is asking you not | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
to put your Christmas wrapping paper in the household recycling bin. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Officers say it is too time-consuming for their team | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
to separate it from better quality paper here in Exeter. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
The paper mill that actually turns your old paper back into fresh | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
newsprint can't handle this material and it can actually degrade | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
the quality of the paper they are trying to recycle. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
We send out our paper for recycling in 25-tonne loads | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
and if there is a concentration of this type of wrapping paper, | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
that whole 25 tonnes is rendered unable to recycle. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
Instead they advise you personally take it to an alternative | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
recycling centre in the city, or just chuck it in the bin. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
It is disappointing that the council can't take it in the household | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
recycling, because there are so many areas they do take it, | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
but people can drop it off at the recycling centre. | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
Hopefully they won't make a special journey, but there are lots of other | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
ways we can reduce our need for recycling at all | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
For example, these are calendars but they could be magazines. | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
This is last year's paper that I saved and last year's binding. | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
On to sport now, and the sale of Torquay United has been delayed | :10:30. | :10:42. | |
The Conference side had hoped to finalise the deal | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
with Gaming International today, but now expects to complete | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
But the wait IS over for Exeter City who recorded their first league win | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
259 days to be precise, but on Saturday, the | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
Ollie Watkins getting everyone's hopes up with an early goal. | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
The manager described the game as hideous to watch, | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
apart from the last two minutes and that's because Watkins popped up | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
And give the home crowd a chance to really celebrate | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Their Devon rivals proved yet again they have a knack | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
Despite Accrington putting Argyle under pressure, | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
The Pilgrims' defence held firm with Luke McCormick on top form. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
The only goal of the game came from Craig Tanner | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
The substitute linked well with David Goodwillie and his shot | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
had just enough power in it to beat the home keeper. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
The win means Plymouth are top of the tree this Christmas. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
The Exeter Chiefs are out of the Champions Cup barring | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
But with Henry Slade pulling the strings from fly half, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
they produced their best result in this year's competition, | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
Tries in each half from Thomas Waldrom and from returning | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie helped them to their first-ever win French soil. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Elsewhere, there were narrow defeats for the Cornish Pirates | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
in the British and Irish Cup, and for Plymouth against | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
unbeaten National One leaders Hartpury College. | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
Now, Victoria has embarked on a festive adventure tonight | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
and we can join her now from a very appropriate location. | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
It is very chilly but then it would be in the North Pole, in the heart | :12:30. | :12:46. | |
of Devon. Tonight we are going to give you a real Polar Express | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
experience, I am even armed with my hot chocolate. On Friday I asked you | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
if you have ever seen the film. Don't worry if you have not because | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
tonight we will give you a real experience of the Polar Express and | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
at the same time, launching our very own Spotlight express which will be | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
a week-long series of Christmas trains and stories driving you on a | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
journey throughout the region, hearing from different people about | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
various Christmas traditions. I hope he will stay with us as the | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
excitement builds because they are only six more sleeps before | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Christmas. I have seen with my own eyes Father Christmas and the elves | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
who have been busy shipping Christmas presents across the world. | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
Do stay with us for the Polar Express which is packed with very | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
excited children and their parents and another person who managed to | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
get a ticket was our very own Andrea who went on a journey that no one | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
will ever forget. It's an action-packed journey, | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
all the way to the North Pole. And it's not just the | :14:03. | :14:26. | |
children having fun. A change of pace to drink that hot | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
chocolate and eat their cookies and while they do it, | :14:30. | :14:39. | |
the story of the Polar We've arrived and the elves | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
and Santa take a break I've got some special elves | :14:42. | :14:59. | |
that deal with that. Santa says hello and the children, | :15:00. | :15:20. | |
well, just look at their faces. # Jingle bells, jingle bells | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
# Jingle all the way. On the way back from the North Pole, | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
there's loads more fun. # Jingle bells, jingle bells, | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
jingle all the way. # Jingle bells, jingle bells, | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
jingle all the way. # Oh what fun it is to ride | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
on a one-horse open sleigh. Father Christmas was here to visit | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
and he gave us a bell. I think he's the real | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Father Christmas. Just to see Father Christmas, to ask | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
for what they want for Christmas, We have a nice collection | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
of them on the tree now. Felt a bit silly in the car | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
on the way up in our pyjamas, It was lovely to see | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
you singing and dancing, The team are so energetic | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
and so friendly and welcoming. It's a real party mood | :16:26. | :16:37. | |
on the train, it's lovely. # We wish you a Merry Christmas | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
and a happy New Year. By the time the Polar Express | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
arrives at its final destination in Okehampton, | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
there is no-one on board Never mind the children, I am | :16:51. | :17:15. | |
equally as excited as we wave off the Polar Express. We have managed | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
to keep hold of some of the characters. You are from Exeter. Is | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
this the first year you have done it? Yes. What is it like being on | :17:27. | :17:39. | |
board the Polar Express? Really fun. How many times have you seen the | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
film? About a million. Two of the shafts. Is this the first year you | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
have done it? This is the fourth year. It is a great way to see the | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
season in. Everyone enjoying the hot chocolate? One of my favourite | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
scenes in the film. We try to do the backflips but we just jumped on the | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
chairs. It does seem really good fun. Is there a baddie in this film? | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
I own this train, I am the king of the Polar Express, the king of the | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
North Pole! I have never seen Father Christmas. Seeing is believing. The | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
conductor here in charge of the train. We have a schedule to keep. | :18:38. | :18:53. | |
What does that say? Are there any nonbelievers on the train? If there | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
are, they get thrown off. It is on time. We have a schedule to keep | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
here. Thank you so much. We don't have to be here to get into the | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
Christmas spirit. Making your own cards and singing carols can fill | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
you with festive fun and a group of children in Plymouth have been doing | :19:20. | :19:20. | |
just that. Christmas can sometimes be a very | :19:21. | :19:31. | |
lonely time for the old today. These children are on a special mission to | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
bring joy. It was wonderful. Their little | :19:34. | :19:54. | |
voices and the expressions on their faces. They were lovely. I think | :19:55. | :20:10. | |
they enjoyed it as much as I did. It is good making people happy at | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
Christmas that don't usually have Christmas together with their | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
family. The children handed out their home-made Christmas cards to | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
everyone. Thank you very much. I drew one with two snowman on. I | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
could cry so easily. They are perfect. The way they have drawn, | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
not silly things I have seen before and like I draw myself. Mission | :20:45. | :20:54. | |
accomplished, Joy delivered. Have you done all of your Christmas | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
shopping yet? Song feel it is getting all to commercial these | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
days. What happened to soap on a rope and that simple pair of pants | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
that you used to get from your grandma? John has been looking back | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
through the archives and finding out about Christmas presents. People's | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
aspirations used to be a little more colourful. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
They never had it so good in the 1950s. As the 60s swung in, people | :21:25. | :21:36. | |
wanted more. I want a jaguar. A Mercedes-Benz. These days people | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
expect to be bowled over at Christmas and are prepared to splash | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
out. About a ground probably. I have three children. Back in the day, | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
folks went wild. How much money do you reckon to spend at Christmas | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
time? ?10. To be fair, ?10 is worth over 150 quid in today's money says | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
it is easy to see how the Christmas budget can balloon. Things that they | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
want, they cost hundreds of pounds and when you put in a few board | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
games, nice things, you are there. Time to reset those Christmas | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
values, something they hankered for 52 years ago. I suppose that in | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
England today, it is an opportunity when the world is at its dimmest of | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
making whoopee. The real meaning of Christmas has been forgotten about. | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
Sometimes the story of the Nativity has been lost as well. Many would | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
say amen to that and perhaps we should all be thankful for what we | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
have got. What would you like? Good health? Nothing else? Christmas | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
presents, Polar Express, we have singers here as well. And beware | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
that this evening has been really, really chilly. It feels like the | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
North Pole here. Well, you are at the North Pole. I | :23:23. | :23:42. | |
am much further south. We seem to have lost David. He is a little bit | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
further south at Okehampton station where the Polar Express set off | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
earlier on. It comes along the rails through the light and ends up here | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
at the North Pole and the children are treated to a Christmas | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
extravaganza. We will hear more of the carol singers, but, Justin, you | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
would love it here. It looks very festive. Let's see the weather is | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
going to be like. It looks like we have a change on the way as we had | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
through this week. It will be rather cloudy with a lot of mist and fog | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
but we will see some rain starting to push in. The satellite picture | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
shows we have a lot of cloud across the south-west, some might rain and | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
that cloud. The temperature is getting to know tonight. We have | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
various weather fronts out towards the West. By tomorrow, we have one | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
to watch out for. It. The cry, some of the card will lift and then rain | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
is spreading in in the afternoon. The winds will pick up as well and | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
was the end of the week, things do start to settle down. We have a lot | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
of cloud out there, most and we have had some rain but the bulk of it is | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
clearing towards the east. It will be done overnight, a lot of mist and | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
low cloud. With that cloud it does mean temperatures are not too low. | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
It should be frost free, temperatures of three or 4 degrees. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
A grey, damp start tomorrow. One or two places further east will see | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
some spells of sunshine. Many of us keeping that fairly solid layer of | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
cloud. Not as mild as today, highs of around eight or 9 degrees. For | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
the Isles of Scilly we will see a lot of cloud, some early drizzle and | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
it will stay rather misty. Here are your times of high water. In terms | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
of our certain conditions, fairly clean conditions. Here we will see | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
five or six foot along the north coast. The winds will become | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
suddenly through the day. Some drizzle at times and the visibility | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
of all the good occasionally poor. It does look like we will see a | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
change through the week. Tomorrow we will keep that low cloud but it. To | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
shift as we had through the day. Wednesday will look unsettled with | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
strong winds and rain at times. Thursday largely dry with some | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
sunshine. Friday the winds picked up with some rain spreading in. Rather | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
blustery as we head towards Christmas. Jim, a local folk singer | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
is here this evening with the North Dartmoor quire. But from us here at | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
the Polar Express, we all believe, the team here at Spotlight. Thank | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
you for joining us. Enjoy the music. Ben dropping | :27:04. | :27:48. | |
a frozen turkey on Mum's foot. Put me down! | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
No, we talked about this. Taser him! That is a video game, | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
isn't it? I'm going to need at least another | :27:54. | :27:55. | |
15 years to recover from children. This is all nonsense - it's highly | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
entertaining, nonetheless it's... I'm starting this new job, I'm | :28:01. | :28:25. | |
taking over a really tough school. Where is it? | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
You're not going down south...? Huddersfield? I know. That's like | :28:29. | :28:31. | |
the dark side of the moon. You do know that this house | :28:32. | :28:34. | |
is haunted? This is all nonsense - it's highly | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
entertaining, nonetheless it's... | :28:40. | :28:49. |
