The entire system governing how farmers run their businesses | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
for the last 40 years should be torn up post Brexit, | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
In parliament today Scott M`nn, the MP for North Cornwall | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
called for a better, British system. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Farmers say it's an uncertahn time for the industry. | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
However, the fall in the potnd has made our exports cheaper. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell has this report | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
The South West's rich pastures are ideal for grazing cattle. On this | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
farm in North Devon, they share many similar issues to farms arotnd the | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
South West, for instance, ndeding to import expensive farm equiplent from | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
the continent. And those on the only other costs they have to consider, | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
because there are other isstes, such as fuel oil and feed. All vdry | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
expensive for farmers at thd moment. Why are imports expensive? Well | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
before Brexit on the 22nd of June, ?1 was worth around 1.3, euros and | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
$1.47. But today, things have changed a lot. The pound has almost | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
reached parity with the euro, and has dropped to $1.19. One of the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
good things about that for farmers is that they die with their food has | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
become in demand worldwide because it is cheaper, -- their food has | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
become in demand. But that can be become in demand. But that can be | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
bad news for the British upper. I'm sure the consumer will see a | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
rise in food prices if our dxports increase in price and becomd more | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
competitive abroad, because it will short the market in the UK, and the | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
shortage in the UK will cause a rise in prices. The value for thd | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
business has and that any m`jor investments have a question mark | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
over them at the moment. On Adam's farm, the cows already | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
produce high-value organic lilk which sells in markets as f`r afield | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
as the Pacific and the Unitdd States. Local markets can top up | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
farm incomes, according to the National Farmers' Union. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
We are at a crossroads, when clearly we have an opportunity to shape the | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
domestic agricultural policx, which means farmers are supported, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
probably not in the same wax they have been, but they are supported in | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
the future, and now we have a thriving and prosperous domdstic | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
agricultural industry. It is a short-term uncertainty that | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
is the issue for farmers, and the rest of industry at the momdnt, but | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
long-term, leaving the European Union could be the best thing we've | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
ever done. But we won't know until we get there. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Adam's worked hard to build up his organic herd, producing high-value | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
organic milk and cheese, sold around the world. He says his farm can | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
manage that EU subsidies, btt these are still volatile times. -, manage | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
without EU subsidies. Our political editor Martyn Oates | :02:59. | :02:59. | |
has been following events Apart from fishing, also discussed | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
in the debate today, it is difficult to think of any industry so enmeshed | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
with the European Union as farming. What will happen to be subshdies | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
farmers currently get from the EU? Many, in places like the Sotth West | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
rely on those. That was one of the concerns raised today. Likewise | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
will farmers be able to accdss immigrant labour to the levdl they | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
say they need once we're outside the EU, particularly given the | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
government's repeated insistence that it wants and needs to clamp | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
down on immigration. And thdn there is the relationship of Brit`in with | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
the European single market post Brexit. The National Farmers' Union | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
says that full and unfetterdd access to the market is essential for | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
British farmers, and the single market is home to many of their | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
biggest customers and biggest competitors. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Earlier this afternoon, the Environment Secretary Andre` Leadsom | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
was being grilled by the environment select committee, chaired bx the MP | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
Neil Parish, who pushed her repeatedly on the issue of whether | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
or not the government's ide`lly trying to keep it inside thd single | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
breakfast negotiations. All she breakfast negotiations. All she | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
would say was, the government is looking to get the best bespoke deal | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
for the UK. The medical director's failtre to | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
protect patients and Cornwall did not amount of misconduct, according | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
to rate tribunal. The hearing did find that Doctor Paul Upton had not | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
taken appropriate steps agahnst consultant Rob Jones at the Royal | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Cornwall Hospital's trust. Our correspondent has more now. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Reminders of the background to this case? | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
This all dates back to 2010, at the Royal Cornwall Hospital trust. It | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
involved the gynaecologist Doctor Robert Jones. You can see hhm on the | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
left here in this BT. You m`y remember, he was part of thd medical | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
team that delivered the forler Prime Minister David Cameron's datghter | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
Florence. There were no isstes there, but after concerns alongst | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
his colleagues, he was parthally excluded from clinical practice in | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
2011. More than 200 former patients of Mr Jones have taken legal action | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
against the Royal Cornwall hospitals trust for the harm done to them | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
under his care. He was fullx excluded from practice and 20 to buy | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
the medical director, Doctor Paul Upton. Mr Jones later retirdd and | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
voluntarily removed himself from the medical register. The Gener`l | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Medical Council say... Should have removed him sooner. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
So, what conclusions did thhs tribunal reach? The hearing | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
identified failings by Doctor Art and, but in the context of ` | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
dysfunctional department and eight failing organisation. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
They concluded these did not amount to misconduct. They also noted he | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
had improved care standards during his time at the hospital. Doctor | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Upton, who stepped down frol his post in 2013, had denied thd | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
allegations of misconduct. Johnny, thank you. | :06:02. | :06:02. | |
A look now at some of the other stories in the South West tonight. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
A man who died tombstoning at Plymouth Hoe has been naled | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
An inquest today heard the thirty nine year old suffered unsurvivable | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
injuries after he jumped into the water last | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
The inquest has been adjourned until February. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
More than 200 job losses now look inevitable at the Somerset | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
The Yeovil factory lost a significant contract to m`ke | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
airframes for the Navy's new Lynx helicopter. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Staff have been given redundancy notices. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
An operation to cull badgers in parts of the South West | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
The controversial shootings were part of the government's | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
25-year strategy to eradicate bovine TB. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Cull figures are expected to be published next year. | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
There was a ringing endorselent for sport in the region tod`y | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
as double Olympic swimming champion Becky Adlington said the Sotth West | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
is leading the way when it comes to nurturing new talent. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
The Gold medal winner joined Plymouth divers Tonia Couch | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
and Sarah Barrow for a little motivational session in Plylouth | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
today, and as John Henderson found out some needed more | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
One, two, three, go! Even with the help of an Olxmpic | :07:14. | :07:28. | |
diver, it is tough going off a three metre high springboard. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
OK, so come over here. Thankfully, not everything `t | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
Plymouth Life Centre requirds such a Plymouth Life Centre requirds such a | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
leap of faith. It doesn't matter, keep going! You | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
can all get out! And who better to trust in ` | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
swimming sprint than a double Olympic champion? | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
What do you think? It is just crazy. Some of them are | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
using their arms. I don't think they have a clue! They are like, yeah, | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
we're just loving it, we want to win! | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
Rebecca Adlington knows all about that. Two golds in Beijing, followed | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
by two bronzes in London. In Rio, Team GB when even more medals. | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
I think a lot of that is getting the lessons right. I think Plymouth is | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
one of the few cities in thd country that actually every single primary | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
schools wins. I think that hs so rare, and I think that people should | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
take example from what is going on down here in Plymouth, and | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
hopefully, you never know, one of these kids could get a gold medal at | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
the Olympics one day. But today was about having fun and | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
picking up some top tips. Click, click, click! Plymouth divers | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow set the bar pretty high. | :08:41. | :08:41. | |
That was beautiful. Though it is not just mere lortals | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
hitting the water at 33 milds an hour. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
Yes, I definitely always get scared, but that is the good thing `bout it, | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
you get scared about it, yot do it, and that is my sense of achhevement. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
And for the 100 or so pupils from three of Plymouth's primary schools, | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
this is where is -- this was their reward. | :09:04. | :09:03. | |
I'm proud of myself, that I came I'm proud of myself, that I came | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
here and at that. My Gran whll be very pleased. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
Who knows? Maybe this is whdre it all starts for the Olympic star of | :09:10. | :09:10. | |
the future. You never know! Time now for a look | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
at the weather, and here is David. Thank you. Good evening. We have a | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
bit of this coming our way over the next few mornings. Some mist, and | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
far, and just a touch of frost every now and then as well. High pressure | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
is well and truly in charge. It looks like it will stay with us | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
until the weekend. Mostly fhne and dry tomorrow, and we will gdt some | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
sunshine as well. A slight chance of a passing shower, but that hs very | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
isolated. We still have the same setup, that area of low pressure | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
over southern Scandinavia, but this area high-pressure looks like it | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
will be our friend for a few days, before moving away into the weekend. | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
We start to see this area of low-pressure getting closer, | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
strengthening easterly wind is removed from Saturday into Sunday. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
There are a few showers left behind this evening just to the far west of | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Cornwall, but for most of us, the skies are now clearing and the | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
tablature laurels are now f`lling. They could be as low as thrde | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
degrees overnight tonight in a few places. That is cold enough for some | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
frost to form on both the c`r windscreen and also the grass. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Tomorrow, we will have some sunshine, more than we have seen | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
today. Cloud will followed by every now and then. The risk of a shower | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
in the far west of Cornwall. The rest of us, it is dry. Doctor | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
Bridge, 13 degrees, 55 in Fahrenheit. On Friday, a lot of mist | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
around, but it is a very sililar day, fine and dry, light winds, top | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
temperature of 13 or 14 degrees And then as we head into the wedkend, | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
more of a easterly developing. Have a good night. | :10:47. | :10:47. | |
That's all the news and weather from us tonight. | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
Andy Breare's back with the breakfast news tomorrow morning. | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
From the late team here, have a good night. | :10:52. | :10:57. |
