Good evening from Spotlight. so it's goodbye from me.

:00:00.:00:00.

Tonight, Devon and Cornwall Police are heavily criticised for letting

:00:00.:00:00.

They've been rated inadequate after failing to report more than 17,000

:00:07.:00:15.

We'll speak to the man in charge of sorting it all out.

:00:16.:00:19.

Also tonight: a breath of fresh air is often the best medicine.

:00:20.:00:22.

We'll find out how patients are benefiting after being

:00:23.:00:24.

You wait ages for one and then 30 come along at once.

:00:25.:00:32.

Millions of pounds are invested to provide new bus

:00:33.:00:34.

Primary school children have been considering the biggest

:00:35.:00:39.

High Speed two I think the meaning of life is, some people say it's to

:00:40.:00:49.

have children, but I think is to be happy and make a difference.

:00:50.:01:08.

Some of the most serious crimes are not being properly recorded

:01:09.:01:10.

In a highly critical report, inspectors say victims are being let

:01:11.:01:15.

down and the force has only made limited improvements

:01:16.:01:17.

Senior officers have told Spotlight they accept the report's

:01:18.:01:22.

conclusions and insist victims are "at the heart" of their work.

:01:23.:01:24.

We'll hear from a deputy chief constable in a moment.

:01:25.:01:29.

First, here are the key findings of Her Majesty's

:01:30.:01:31.

Emergency, which service? Call the police to report a crime, but in too

:01:32.:01:47.

many cases, staff don't treat the information they are given as they

:01:48.:01:50.

should, not officially recording and a third straightaway, and that

:01:51.:01:55.

matters. A victim may benefit from getting immediate help, or they

:01:56.:01:58.

could potentially find themselves in more danger if there is a delay in

:01:59.:02:01.

the response. It all depends on how officers view claims being made, but

:02:02.:02:06.

inspectors say the current situation is wholly unacceptable. The report

:02:07.:02:08.

estimated that more than 17,000 crimes are not

:02:09.:02:36.

being recorded every year. They include rape, sexual offences and

:02:37.:02:38.

violent attacks. A survey found that crime reporting processes were

:02:39.:02:40.

convoluted and staff don't understand the basic crime reporting

:02:41.:02:41.

principles. Inspectors believe it to be a sister big failure and have

:02:42.:02:44.

read the Devon and Cornwall police inadequate, saying many victims are

:02:45.:02:45.

being let down. Well, Devon and Cornwall's Police

:02:46.:02:46.

and Crime Commissioner says she takes the report very

:02:47.:02:48.

seriously and has already set up a new group to look at ways

:02:49.:02:52.

to improve the recording of crime. James Vaughan is the Deputy Chief

:02:53.:02:55.

Constable with responsibility for recording crimes

:02:56.:02:57.

for Devon and Cornwall. I asked how he could reassure

:02:58.:02:58.

victims who'd been let down by Devon We don't believe that

:02:59.:03:02.

we've let victims down. In the vast majority of cases,

:03:03.:03:05.

victims have come forward, an investigation has taken place,

:03:06.:03:07.

people have been safeguarded and they've been given

:03:08.:03:09.

a good service. But do you accept that if you don't

:03:10.:03:11.

record straight away something, for instance, as serious as a rape,

:03:12.:03:14.

that victim doesn't get the support straight away that they need,

:03:15.:03:17.

and that is where HMIC says You dispute that, but that's

:03:18.:03:19.

what HMIC SAY in their report. I accept that that's what it

:03:20.:03:27.

says in their report. There are 27 cases highlighted

:03:28.:03:29.

in the report where a report of a serious sexual offence

:03:30.:03:32.

was recorded as a crime. In all of those cases,

:03:33.:03:35.

the victims were taken under the wing of Devon

:03:36.:03:37.

and Cornwall police. They were provided with

:03:38.:03:42.

safeguarding activity. They were referred to victim

:03:43.:03:44.

services and victim care and a range of investigative

:03:45.:03:46.

processes were undertaken. One recommendation the report says

:03:47.:03:53.

should be implemented immediately is a sexual offences liaison officer

:03:54.:03:55.

assigned to all victims What progress are

:03:56.:03:57.

you making on that? My goal group that I run yesterday

:03:58.:04:10.

gave me reassurance that in every case of a serious sexual assault

:04:11.:04:13.

and rape, a specially trained sexual offences liaison

:04:14.:04:19.

officer will be deployed. One of the limitations currently

:04:20.:04:21.

is that we can't make that deployment of the initial deployment

:04:22.:04:24.

and get them there within minutes. So despite it saying

:04:25.:04:28.

in the recommendations that wherever possible, these officers should be

:04:29.:04:30.

deployed as the first responder, you are saying that not every victim

:04:31.:04:35.

of a serious sexual assault will immediately be

:04:36.:04:37.

responded to by a sexual With the current levels

:04:38.:04:39.

of resources that we have, and taking into consideration

:04:40.:04:45.

the sparsity that the Devon and Cornwall geography lends,

:04:46.:04:47.

it isn't possible for us today to make the first initial response

:04:48.:04:53.

to any serious sexual offence that of a specially trained sexual

:04:54.:04:56.

offence liaison officer. One of the themes that comes

:04:57.:04:59.

through the whole report is that officers often don't know

:05:00.:05:02.

the correct procedures for reporting crimes at the initial stage,

:05:03.:05:04.

and there is after that a lack of supervision from a senior officer

:05:05.:05:11.

on whether the crime was recorded What is being done to address

:05:12.:05:14.

what appears to be a lack of understanding of the system,

:05:15.:05:19.

which your own officers reported back in the feedback

:05:20.:05:22.

is being convoluted at times? Yes, that's a fair description

:05:23.:05:30.

of the complex rules It's my job as the Deputy Chief

:05:31.:05:32.

Constable to understand those rules and ensure

:05:33.:05:38.

that they are complied with. There is a great deal

:05:39.:05:40.

of further work to do. Again at my goal group yesterday,

:05:41.:05:42.

I saw plans to revisit training for all front line officers,

:05:43.:05:45.

and those plans have been Deputy Chief Constable Vaughan,

:05:46.:05:48.

thank you very much for joining us. A report on crime recording

:05:49.:05:52.

at Avon and Somerset police The force was judged as "requiring

:05:53.:06:05.

improvement" after failing to properly record more

:06:06.:06:10.

than 13,000 crimes. A little bit of Westminster

:06:11.:06:12.

came to Cornwall today, as the cross-party committee

:06:13.:06:16.

on Exiting the EU held It comes just a day

:06:17.:06:18.

after the Government won a vote giving them the go-ahead to trigger

:06:19.:06:22.

Article 50 and is part of an inquiry into how the UK

:06:23.:06:24.

negotiates its position Well, today political,

:06:25.:06:27.

business and agricultural leaders from across Cornwall

:06:28.:06:32.

were asked their opinions on Brexit. Our political reporter

:06:33.:06:34.

Tamsin Melville listened to the debate and joins us now

:06:35.:06:36.

from County Hall. Yes, Cornwall was just the latest

:06:37.:06:48.

stock for this committee of MPs who are going around the country,

:06:49.:06:51.

getting opinions on the implications of Brexit. It is not clear whether

:06:52.:06:55.

they will come back to any other south-west counties or speak to the

:06:56.:06:58.

public here, so we decided to take this debate out onto the streets. My

:06:59.:07:02.

colleague Neil Gallaher has been out and about in Plymouth.

:07:03.:07:04.

This cafe looked as good as anywhere.

:07:05.:07:07.

Like many people, the assistant manager thinks Brexit

:07:08.:07:10.

could go either way, but she is concerned

:07:11.:07:12.

Hopefully, it shouldn't affect us too much.

:07:13.:07:17.

We've got Spanish chefs downstairs as well.

:07:18.:07:19.

So it would be a bit sad if it does mean everyone's got to go.

:07:20.:07:23.

And they are really good, hard workers.

:07:24.:07:26.

Outside, no concerns for one taxi driver,

:07:27.:07:29.

Actual trade, believe it or not, has gone down a lot

:07:30.:07:37.

Because some people will have a lot more money to spend, probably.

:07:38.:07:47.

A stone's throw away, there's a big tourism

:07:48.:07:55.

What about the leaders of the hospitality industry?

:07:56.:08:02.

We were quite reassured by the Prime Minister's statement

:08:03.:08:05.

that there wouldn't be a cliff edge, that there would be transitional

:08:06.:08:08.

arrangements, but we absolutely need to make sure that the decisions

:08:09.:08:10.

For example, we'd be concerned about any suggestion

:08:11.:08:15.

that we withdraw from the customs union, because that would provide

:08:16.:08:18.

particular difficulties at the ports and airports.

:08:19.:08:23.

Back at the cafe, one Romanian is worried about his own future.

:08:24.:08:29.

People say if you work here and all is legal

:08:30.:08:33.

and I pay my taxes and everything, I get to stay.

:08:34.:08:36.

But other people, like Romanian people, say no.

:08:37.:08:39.

If it goes through, you just go out. I really don't know.

:08:40.:08:44.

And on the cafe terrace, I heard one opinion

:08:45.:08:47.

I think yes, in hindsight, did I make the right decision?

:08:48.:08:53.

I wasn't fully aware of what the EU was totally all about.

:08:54.:08:56.

Because I didn't think it was going to happen,

:08:57.:09:03.

and I think a lot of people did that, voted out.

:09:04.:09:07.

But there must have been a reason why you wanted to vote out.

:09:08.:09:10.

You must have been fed up with something.

:09:11.:09:15.

Like you say, there must have been something at the time.

:09:16.:09:22.

But afterwards, finding out different things about the EU,

:09:23.:09:25.

like the farmers were going to lose money, as I say, a lot of people

:09:26.:09:29.

voted out thinking it wasn't going to happen,

:09:30.:09:31.

and I must admit I'm one of those people.

:09:32.:09:33.

The Government, of course, insists that funding

:09:34.:09:34.

The yes vote in the referendum was 51.9%.

:09:35.:09:38.

There's no way to be sure how many people like Lorraine

:09:39.:09:41.

Or, come to that, Remainers who would now rethink.

:09:42.:09:57.

There is a busy still a lot of uncertainty out there because of

:09:58.:10:02.

Brexit. But here in Cornwall, the various sectors have got together

:10:03.:10:05.

and produced this glossy document talking about both the risks and

:10:06.:10:09.

opportunities of Brexit. A committee of MPs today said they were very

:10:10.:10:13.

impressed with that can-do attitude. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Keating

:10:14.:10:16.

today was that Cornwall voted to leave despite all those EU millions

:10:17.:10:20.

it has had over the years and what could or should be done about this

:10:21.:10:24.

in the future, post-Brexit. The committee says it is going back to

:10:25.:10:28.

Westminster very clear on the messages from Cornwall. Whether

:10:29.:10:31.

those messages have any impact on the future is less clear.

:10:32.:10:36.

For as long as you can remember, a prescription from the doctor has

:10:37.:10:39.

probably involved tablets and medicine bottles like this.

:10:40.:10:46.

The old prescription charge has risen to a shilling per item, but

:10:47.:10:52.

the doctor gets no more. Costs are rising for all of us - for the

:10:53.:10:56.

healthy, the sick, for the chemist, for the doctor.

:10:57.:10:59.

Since the late 1940s and '50s, continuing advances in science have

:11:00.:11:02.

But in recent years, there's been a different

:11:03.:11:05.

and there's evidence it can help reduce the pressure on the NHS.

:11:06.:11:09.

It's called social prescribing and is when a GP seeks to improve

:11:10.:11:12.

a person's health by, for example, referring them for exercise.

:11:13.:11:15.

Our health correspondent Jenny Walrond joined one walking

:11:16.:11:17.

I've really got a lot more in control of my diabetes

:11:18.:11:23.

through this and various other activities that I've done,

:11:24.:11:26.

One of the major things is just the company.

:11:27.:11:41.

We can have a laugh, just being with other people who've

:11:42.:11:44.

It's certainly a step in the right direction,

:11:45.:11:46.

but why does it need to be initiated by a GP?

:11:47.:11:49.

This gave me a reason, and I've stuck to it, and other

:11:50.:11:52.

You don't need it, but if they don't provide it, you haven't

:11:53.:11:56.

The fact is that we are spending huge amounts of money

:11:57.:12:00.

on prescription medication and a lot of it sometimes doesn't work and can

:12:01.:12:03.

So anything we can do that gets people away from that,

:12:04.:12:11.

makes them feel better and keeps them healthy,

:12:12.:12:13.

150 people have taken part in this pilot by St Austell healthcare,

:12:14.:12:20.

There are plans to expand across Cornwall and include other

:12:21.:12:26.

And some think that GPs linking their patients to these

:12:27.:12:37.

voluntary groups will play a big part in the future of the NHS.

:12:38.:12:40.

We now know that exercise is, in the words of the royal colleges,

:12:41.:12:43.

the important people, the miracle cure.

:12:44.:12:52.

So we have about 15 million people getting medicines,

:12:53.:12:54.

and many of them are fantastic medicines, but they all

:12:55.:12:56.

The working group here in St Austell have already seen the health

:12:57.:13:05.

benefits of social prescribing, and those behind it are hoping

:13:06.:13:07.

that their ambitious plans to extend this pilot will soon be realised

:13:08.:13:10.

What's thought to be the largest device in the world capable

:13:11.:13:20.

of harnessing the power of the sea and converting it into electricity

:13:21.:13:23.

is to connect to the wave power research project off the coast

:13:24.:13:26.

The multi-million pound prototype will arrive next year.

:13:27.:13:35.

Meanwhile, a scale model is currently being tested

:13:36.:13:37.

as our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell

:13:38.:13:39.

This is the dream, an array of devices to harness energy

:13:40.:13:47.

In New England, a huge prototype is already being built.

:13:48.:13:52.

Now the company backing the design is testing a scale model

:13:53.:13:54.

By 2018, the first vessel should be connected to Wave Hub,

:13:55.:14:01.

Each turbine could generate twice as much electricity

:14:02.:14:04.

It's the size of a Boeing 747, and we're putting in tremendous

:14:05.:14:19.

masses, the weight of a freight train moving through.

:14:20.:14:22.

the freight train powers on through and then as the vessel

:14:23.:14:27.

pitches the other way, it powers back the other way,

:14:28.:14:30.

and we can convert that rolling motion directly into electrical

:14:31.:14:32.

Wave Hub is an undersea electrical socket linked to the National Grid.

:14:33.:14:42.

It's cost tens of millions of pounds to put on the sea bed,

:14:43.:14:45.

and this announcement marks an important development

:14:46.:14:47.

in its history, because so far, it hasn't sent any electricity

:14:48.:14:49.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been any electricity

:14:50.:14:52.

We have worked very hard with several technology companies

:14:53.:14:55.

to try and enable them to demonstrate their

:14:56.:14:57.

But with the plans we're hearing about today

:14:58.:15:14.

As you can see, this scale model is doing well in the tests

:15:15.:15:22.

it is undergoing in the tanks here at Plymouth University.

:15:23.:15:25.

The real thing itself will be 60 times the size of this.

:15:26.:15:28.

The American backers of this scheme believe it's important to think big

:15:29.:15:31.

to produce the amount of clean and affordable electricity that this

:15:32.:15:33.

country and the rest of the world will need in the coming years.

:15:34.:15:42.

the philosophical questions being posed to children.

:15:43.:15:51.

I am here at Bowhill primary in Exeter, where children are being

:15:52.:15:56.

asked some of life? Biggest questions. Like what is art, and

:15:57.:15:58.

what is bravery? Now, red double decker buses might

:15:59.:16:05.

be synonymous with London but from today, a state of the art

:16:06.:16:10.

fleet of double deckers will be part Bus operator First Kernow has

:16:11.:16:13.

officially unveiled its new fleet, having spent ?7.4 million on them -

:16:14.:16:22.

they come complete with tables and free wi fi,

:16:23.:16:25.

but will they actually Lucie Fisher went

:16:26.:16:27.

along for the ride. Certainly true that they don't want

:16:28.:16:38.

people to miss the fact that these buses are being launched. So how are

:16:39.:16:45.

they going down with locals? Fantastic. It's great to have new

:16:46.:16:50.

things for Cornwall. I think the future is buses for Cornwall. We

:16:51.:16:54.

need to have more to get around. Surprise to see a red bus. Well,

:16:55.:17:04.

it's a red bus! Nice. Caught the tinner, they have been carefully

:17:05.:17:09.

branded with a Cornish list. And there is no. The idea is that these

:17:10.:17:13.

will be modern buses for the modern world, so they are fitted with USB

:17:14.:17:17.

ports and in the next year, they will be contactless, so you can pay

:17:18.:17:21.

with a card. Is a major investment at ?7.5 million, but has it come at

:17:22.:17:27.

another cost? Did you cherry pick services, to have those most

:17:28.:17:31.

profitable? No. We have obviously put these vehicles onto our busiest

:17:32.:17:40.

routes. That is, and commercial business sense. We have got to make

:17:41.:17:43.

these buses pay for themselves, but the ongoing plan is to obviously

:17:44.:17:45.

start to improve the rest of the network. We are in the process of

:17:46.:17:49.

designing the network and working out how to do smart ticketing so

:17:50.:17:53.

that people can buy products on both networks, and we are looking at a

:17:54.:17:58.

rich network which covers as comprehensive and area as we can.

:17:59.:18:00.

Overall, feedback here has been possible. Top -- positive. Any

:18:01.:18:06.

improvement in public transport is good for us and good for the

:18:07.:18:10.

environment. We get so excited now every time we are driving down the

:18:11.:18:15.

:18:16.:18:17.

are shiny and new and just lovely. A mixed martial arts fighter

from Somerset is heading stateside It's a sport with a fast growing

international audience and now former plasterer Mark Godbeer

:18:28.:18:31.

from Bridgewater has his sights set on glory -

:18:32.:18:33.

and possible riches. It is the most brutal

:18:34.:18:35.

of fight sports. But with the high risks

:18:36.:18:51.

come high rewards. Especially for the biggest

:18:52.:18:53.

stars, like the bearded Irishman Conor McGregor,

:18:54.:18:58.

now said to be worth A million miles away,

:18:59.:19:00.

you might think, from this small industrial estate in the middle

:19:01.:19:04.

of rural Somerset. But inside a converted workshop,

:19:05.:19:09.

a former plasterer has stars, Do you get scared when

:19:10.:19:12.

you get in the ring? I think that's what I'm addicted

:19:13.:19:18.

to, the fear factor. So, yeah, I suppose I am a bit

:19:19.:19:31.

of an adrenaline junkie. This is Mark Godbeer,

:19:32.:19:38.

who in the sport of mixed martial arts is already at the top

:19:39.:19:40.

of his game in this country. Finally, out of Somerset,

he will be heading off to Las Vegas, to Las Vegas, stepping

is the sense that children can learn to disagree with each other,

always end with the weather. And what is whether, David?

:23:23.:23:28.

At the moment, it's mostly cold! It is certainly chilly today. We have

:23:37.:23:40.

But you have been out taking your photographs. This is a beautiful

shot of the blue skies we saw earlier today. Not so sunny towards

Somerset. Temperatures really have struggled today, especially across

:23:55.:23:58.

parts of Dorset and Somerset. Slightly less cold as you get

:23:59.:24:01.

towards the coast line, but for all of us, it has been pretty chilly,

:24:02.:24:06.

still in the grip of winter. But not all of our plants are paying

:24:07.:24:11.

attention to that. This is Ka Hayes, where there was some sunshine, and

:24:12.:24:16.

the flowers seem to be coming out, the Magnolia 's and other flowers

:24:17.:24:23.

beginning to appear. These pictures were filmed by our cameraman

:24:24.:24:28.

Tristan. A beautiful, springlike day here, but but the temperatures have

:24:29.:24:32.

not reflected those figures. We have been pretty cold right across the

:24:33.:24:35.

south-west today. If anything, it's going to get colder. Tomorrow, it

:24:36.:24:42.

looks like we will see some sunshine, but briefly, plus more

clout than we have seen today and the risk of wintry showers. And for

:24:46.:24:49.

all of us, it's going to feel very cold indeed. The reason is in an

:24:50.:24:54.

area of low pressure across Spain and Portugal which is staying

:24:55.:24:58.

stationary and whilst that happens, it draws air from the east, and that

is to leave will continue not just for tomorrow, but continuing into

:25:04.:25:07.

the weekend. As an area of high pressure settles in across the north

:25:08.:25:11.

of Ireland, we draw in the air from southern parts of Scandinavia, from

:25:12.:25:14.

Poland and eastern parts of Germany, where temperatures today have not

:25:15.:25:20.

been much more than one or 2 degrees above freezing. So it's going to be

:25:21.:25:23.

cold. There is also the chance of cloud embedded in that flow,

:25:24.:25:28.

generating showers. There are a few tonight, mostly along the south

:25:29.:25:32.

coast, where they will probably fall as rain. But if you get higher up,

:25:33.:25:37.

particularly the southern slopes of Dartmoor, they could fall as sleet

:25:38.:25:40.

and snow. It will be a cold night for all of us, temperatures hovering

:25:41.:25:44.

around freezing for most locations. The breeze helps keep temperatures

:25:45.:25:49.

up, but a frost is possible. More showers tomorrow, mostly through the

:25:50.:25:54.

Channel. A few creep into parts of Dorset and Somerset, and they will

:25:55.:25:57.

have a wintry flavour. A flurry of snow is possible. Temperatures may

:25:58.:26:04.

get up to 5 degrees but for most of us, it will be below that. And with

:26:05.:26:09.

a brisk wind from the East or Northeast, it will feel bitterly

:26:10.:26:13.

cold. One of the warmest places in the country is likely to be the

:26:14.:26:16.

Isles of Scilly. But it will not feel that one, because it will be

:26:17.:26:18.

windy. And for our surface, there are some

:26:19.:26:33.

clean surf. The waves are not very big now. The forecast for the

:26:34.:26:40.

:26:41.:26:44.

tomorrow. It is mainly an easterly, becoming north-easterly. Generally

:26:45.:26:56.

good visibility outside the showers. The weekend will gradually get

:26:57.:27:00.

warmer, but temperatures will not change a great deal. The only real

:27:01.:27:03.

change is on Monday, when we see slightly less cold air coming from

:27:04.:27:07.

the south-east and temperatures back up. For the weekend, birthdays are

:27:08.:27:13.

predominantly dry, with the risk of some overnight frost. A brisk winds

:27:14.:27:20.

from the East. Next week, it looks like we will start to see a change

:27:21.:27:24.

as we see more at coming up from the south, but that is a long way away.

:27:25.:27:26.

For the moment, it is cold. That is it from us, but Andy will be

:27:27.:27:37.

here with an update at ten and we will all be back at 6.30 tomorrow.

:27:38.:27:41.

From all of us on Spotlight, good night.

:27:42.:27:52.

OK, everyone, have you got your bamboo sticks?

:27:53.:27:59.

If you just paint what you want to paint,

:28:00.:28:01.

I've turned around, my painting washes away.

:28:02.:28:07.

..and take on The Big Painting Challenge.

:28:08.:28:12.

Remember, you're not painting a pond.

:28:13.:28:14.

Before I met you, I was a civilised woman.

:28:15.:28:46.

Now I don't even know what that means.
