A staggering series of lies. for the news where you are. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
That's how a judge described the actions of a former chairman of | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust, who was jailed today | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Jon Andrews from Totnes earned over ?1 million from his deception, | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Jon Andrews had the right background and qualifications. | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
Or so it seemed, but he got three senior roles on the back of lies. | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
He spent ten years at St Margaret's Hospice in Taunton. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
He had exaggerated his experience and made up three university degrees | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
While he claimed to be a Home Office executive officer, | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Everyone is shocked and saddened to learn about the fraud | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
and the information that was disclosed in court today. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
There was nothing during his time and tenure here to suggest | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Andrews had been chairman of the Torbay Care Trust | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
and in 2015, became chairman of the Royal Cornwall hospitals | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
trust, an organisation under serious pressure. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
There were debts of around ?7 million, mortality rates | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
were higher than expected, it was missing its target | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
of treating 95% of emergency patients within four hours | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
and there was a doubling of the number of ambulances | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
In my experience of large business, on a senior appointment like this | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
we would have looked at the detail very closely indeed, | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
so I am surprised this situation has emerged. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
From my personal perspective and my involvement with him, | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
there were one or two questions I might have had when he was fairly | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
circumspect in what he said and perhaps now we know why. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Today he admitted three counts of fraud. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Passing a jail sentence of two years, the judge told Andrews, | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
"Your outwardly prestigious life was built on a series | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
He told Jon Andrewes he had received ?1 million, "Money you received | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
And he said he denied other people the positions he got. | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
The family of Tanis Bhandari, who was stabbed to death | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
on New Year's Eve in Tamerton Foliot, near Plymouth, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
two years ago were told by the Justice Secretary Lizz Truss | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
today that the law has been tightened since the crime. | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
Tanis's family believe he would still be alive if his joint | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
killer Donald Pemberton had not been free on licence at | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Pemberton had been arrested a fortnight before the killing | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
for threatening men with meat cleavers. | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
Earlier, the family's MP raised the matter in the commons. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
I would ask whether there is any more the department can do to help | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
the families like those here with me today whose son was murdered | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Would the department work with families to get the support | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
they need to ensure cases like this cannot happen again? | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
None of us in this house, very few of us in this house can | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
ever understand or have to go through what the family had to go | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
through and that is a tragicism all of us would never wish | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
He is right that following the implementation of | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
the rehabilitation act, the process around post-sentencing | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
provision has changed, but I am always willing to look | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
at what more we can learn from the experiences | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
A woman from Penzance has been killed after a collision with a van | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
in the town's Larrigan Road this afternoon. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
The woman, in her fifties, was pronounced dead at the scene. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
A Ukip MEP for the South West has been accused of hypocrisy and lying | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
over his involvement in a wind farm project. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
In a television interview three years ago, William Dartmouth had | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
denied knowing that land in Yorkshire he'd given | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
to a relative was being lined up to take wind turbines. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
But it's now emerged that he'd been personally involved | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
in negotiations over the project for several years beforehand. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Ukip is opposed to onshore wind farms. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Safety experts are calling for greater awareness of illegal | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
drug use among the south west's fishermen following a number | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
In the last two years, 15% of fishing vessel accidents | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Here's our industry correspondent Neil Gallacher. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
Breaking the surface, the scallop dredger JMT. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
She capsized off Teignmouth in July 2015 taking with her 34-year-old | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Shane Hooper and 22-year-old skipper Mike Hill. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Mike had followed his dad into the family business. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
At a very young age, he used to come to sea with me, | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
loved everything about the sea, he was a good fisherman. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
I think he was probably going to be one of the tops out there. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
When Shane's body was recovered there was a large quantity | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Micky believes Michael would never have worked with Shane had he known. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Michael would have chucked him over the side. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Michael has always said amphetamine is classed as the poor man's drug. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Michael would not have allowed Shane on that boat and you know... | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
He definitely would not have allowed him on that boat. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Amphetamines can create a sense of alertness and confidence. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
And they have been increasingly linked to fishing accidents. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
It is like driving a car, if you take drugs and drive a car, | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
The government has pledged to raise awareness and help prevent | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
You look at the stars at night and think that the brightest one | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
is my son, and that is the way you try and get through things. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
I tell you what, you don't know what you have lost | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
The father of Michael Hill ending that report by Neil Gallacher. | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
One charity which is working with fishermen to tackle drug abuse | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Earlier, its superintendent in Newlyn told me why some | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
fishermen could be tempted to take amphetamines. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
I think the choice of the drug is very significant. | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Amphetamines are very much about stimulant, about getting on, | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
being able to cope with lack of sleep, tiredness, | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
giving you a sense of euphoria and I think that is something | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
that is very much experienced by fishermen when they go to sea. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
It's the lack of sleep, the hard physical labour hour after hour, | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
the pains of a body that has been working five days straight | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
I think the amphetamines do tend to help with that. | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
I don't think drug-taking in the fishing industry is any more | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
prevalent than it is in any other part of society. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
There are those that do and those that don't right | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
But you would think it is the pressures involved | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
in the job entailed in fishing that drive some fishermen | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
I think that would be the biggest single determinant | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
of whether someone would take them or not. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
It does help you get through what is the hardest job. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
It has the highest death rate bar none in peace time | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
in British industry, it is 180 times more dangerous | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
It is difficult for anybody who has not been fishing, myself included, | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
to understand what demand it puts an their bodies. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
Very briefly, what can the Fishermen's Mission try to do | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
I think probably the best way is through education. | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
Explaining to the people who might choose to do this and go to sea | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
and use drugs the possible consequences and how it does | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
make what is a very, very dangerous job in the first | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
place so much more dangerous and most importantly, | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
working with those people who would choose to use drugs, | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
helping them to find appropriate support and just being there, | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
supporting them through the process of dealing | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Paddington Bear was famously a refugee from darkest Peru. | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
Now knitters in east Devon have been reaching out to child | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
refugees by making hundreds of home-grown bears. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
The small toys will be put into the pockets of donated coats | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
for children in Syria, Greece and elsewhere. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Time for the weather - here's David with the forecast. | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
I cannot promise you 25 degrees and sunshine, but I can promise you | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
something less cold. Temperatures are on the rise this week. It has | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
been pretty chilly over the last three or four days. It is milder, | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
there is some rain in the forecast, it will be breezy but nowhere near | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
as colds. A cold night to come because we have the winds easing, | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
the skies clearing and the chance of some frost but this is the first of | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
milder interludes, this warm front tomorrow. Pretty erratic progress. | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
It will take its time to get to us. Eventually get into parts of | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Somerset and Dorset. On Wednesday and Thursday, we keep these | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
south-westerly winds and by Friday we are drawing warm air from the far | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
south which means much higher temperatures to end the week. More | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
orange and yellow appearing here as this milder air comes up from the | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
south, so hopefully no frost to look forward to temperatures up to 14 | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
degrees. It is cold tonight, there will be a frost in places, | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
particularly across the more eastern parts of Devon, Dorset and Somerset. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
There could well be a frost to start the day. Milder air further west and | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
most of the rain tomorrow will be across Cornwall. Probably staying | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
largely dry in Dorset, Somerset. Not a bad day here, elsewhere in the | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
rain will win and it will move right across the south-west, the evening. | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
Brisk winds from the west and south-west and temperatures in | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
double figures for Wednesday. The only downside is there is not a huge | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
amount of sunshine but at least we will see temperatures back to 13 or | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
14. That is the news and weather for now. More in BBC breakfast tomorrow | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
morning, but from us, good night. cool, it will be windy at times as | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
well and still rather unsettled with some blustery showers around. That's | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
the London forecast and now for the National forecast, over to Nick | :11:06. | :11:06. | |
Miller. North-west France and Plymouth were | :11:07. | :11:19. | |
miles apart weather-wise. This southern flank in north-west France | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
there was a wind gusts of 120 mph which we just dodged. That area of | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
low pressure continues to move quickly south-eastwards so that by | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
tomorrow it is in Italy on its southern flank, stormy in Sardinia | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
and around it strong winds blowing through south-east France. We've got | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
a little bump in the ice bars with lighter winds, a brief ridge of high | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
pressure, things briefly settled going into tomorrow, overnight there | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
are some showers around moving through western Scotland and | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
north-west England and the Midlands, clearing Wales, one or two in the | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
east, the North Sea tip of high pressure, things briefly settled | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
going into tomorrow, overnight there are some showers around moving | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
through western | :12:00. | :12:00. |
