The Georgian facade of Exeter's Royal Clarence Hotel | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
was demolished today after the building was destroyed by fire. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Crowds gathered to watch thd moment the remaining structure camd down. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
As Simon Hall reports, many of them had a personal | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
As the insults follow the injury, so the demolition follows the fire. | :00:24. | :00:38. | |
A facade which stood for hundreds of years gone with just a ntdge | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Crowds turned out to watch, many with powerful memories | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
The Clarence is somewhere where I spent my wedding night, | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
where I did Christmas lunchds every year for a decade with my f`mily. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
We had our wedding reception there so... | :01:02. | :01:14. | |
In one of the rooms that has been gutted actually. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Exeter City Council wanted the facade brought down to reduce | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
the cordon on Cathedral Gredn to allow more businesses to open | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
All of it is very sad, but it will be built again. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Our policy is to build it to what it was, at least thd front | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
The cathedral, spiritual sotl of this city, has now reopened. | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
Today was the highest profile part of the demolition operation. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
The rest of the work is expdcted to take several weeks at le`st. | :01:53. | :02:10. | |
The ground and first floors are historically very important | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
They date from the 13th century so the plan is now for | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
the demolition crews to work slowly and carefully around them | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
in an attempt to try and prdserve that precious heritage. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
A rising number of police officers in Devon and Cornwall are bding | :02:36. | :02:37. | |

Spotlight has been speaking to PC Dan Care who was assaulted one night | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
One of the males became aggressive and punched my | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
It ended up back around this area here. | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
The male started throwing punches at me and | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
other people in the group started to get involved. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
I didn't know I'd be able to go back to front line policing. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
It is something I really loved doing. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
It's had a big effect and it's been a | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
It's only recently going on holiday that I realised how much of an | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
effect it had on me, and my wife noticed the change. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
It took that to realise how bad it had been. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |

the agency to be stripped of some of its powers, | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
and a new National Floods Commissioner to be appointed. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |

now dismantled and cleared of thousands of people | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
who fled their own war-torn countries. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
The community outpouring of kindness, love and generosity has | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
quite emotional to see all the positive stuff happdning. | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
Of course, it is not all positive as some groups have been set up | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
specifically to protest about the refugees | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
being here and one on | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Facebook is trying to organhse a protest rally to show the strength | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
This is another protest grotp, but it's against the idea of a | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
demonstration saying it would be wrong to burden the police. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
Its Facebook page has gone back online | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
after winning an appeal after complaints of racism. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
The group said it formed because several Devon counchls | :05:59. | :06:02. | |

Prison may be about punishmdnt but it's also about rehabilhtation. | :07:20. | :07:25. | |

Although Eastwood Park has seen many changes over 20 years, | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
one thing has stayed the sale, the fact that staff agree | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
with estimates that 50% of hnmates here and in every other wom`n's | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
prison in the country are themselves the victims of abuse. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
Since it opened Eastwood Park has tried different ways to try | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
It's incredibly difficult for women to turn around and walk awax | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
from people who may be abushng them, with young children - | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
potentially very young children - when the alternative | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
If you give them that opportunity where they can earn a living | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
and they can sustain life independent of that it gives | :08:18. | :08:20. | |

But it's hoped that it's now no longer under the threat | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
of extinction as cuttings t`ken have successfully grown | :09:06. | :09:08. | |

October is on record. We had the warmth yesterday and now we have a | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
cooling trend that continues into the weekend. Roth or north-dasterly | :09:53. | :09:56. | |

Patchy rain will then begin to show and continue until the evenhng. The | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
northerly wind then sets in as we head towards the weekend and it will | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
substantially drop the tempdratures. We will continue to see overnight | :10:40. | :10:45. | |

national picture. The weather may have turned colder | :11:05. | :11:15. | |

end of the day from Oxfordshire Cold and clear by day and clear and | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
even colder overnight. That is the recipe at this time of year. | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
