And we will ask why so many more people over the age of 65 are | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
getting married these days. Feelings were running high | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
in Holsworthy this evening as around 500 people gathered | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
to express their anger at plans to temporarily | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
close their community hospital beds. The NHS Trust bosses met | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
with shouts and jeers from the audience, but refused | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
to overturn the decision. Our health correspondent Jenny | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Walrond is there for us tonight. I gather quite a lively meeting? | :00:30. | :00:43. | |
Absolutely. Hospital bosses can be left in no doubt that there is | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
considerable public anger and distrust over their decision to come | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
close beds at Holsworthy hospital. At a packed meeting tonight we heard | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
concerns that that temporary closure could become permanent and criticism | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
over the way the trust is handle problems with staffing and bed | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
occupancy. When it comes to dying, I want to be | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
able to die where I want to die and in the comfort that | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
I want. So, you are telling me | :01:12. | :01:12. | |
that the reason numbers are reducing is because you have stopped people | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
coming to Holsworthy? Sometimes people need more medical | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
care and the best place Do you know, they feel | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
very strongly about it. It is such an important thing, | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
a centre of the community really. We asked if it is going to be | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
permanent and they were like, "Oh, You know, they were going | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
on about the agency staff. No proper answer, no better | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
off now, really, so... And what did the trust had to say | :01:45. | :01:58. | |
tonight? Northern Devon health care Jost was challenged to overturn a | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
decision to close those beds but the Chief Executive said that that is | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
something there was no way we would do in speaking to me before the | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
meeting Alison Diamond said that the closure was due to significant | :02:12. | :02:12. | |
safety concerns. One of them is around the use | :02:13. | :02:13. | |
of agency staff to support our staff due to very significant staff | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
sickness and also some vacancies And that, in combination with few | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
people actually needing the beds in Holsworthy, | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
is a situation that we can't There was one assurance. But is that | :02:33. | :02:50. | |
current patients will be allowed to stay for as long as they need to. | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Patients such as Penny Smith who has terminal ovarian cancer and who has | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
appealed to end her days at Holsworthy hospital but there were | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
no promises that these beds would definitely reopen and so it may be | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
many months before we know the long-term future of this hospital. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Jenny in Holsworthy, thank you. There are calls tonight | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
for changes to the way military It follows the successful appeal | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
by Sergeant Alexander Blackman The former Royal Marine from Taunton | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
shot dead an injured Taliban Today an Appeal Court ruled | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
he was instead guilty of manslaughter on the grounds | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
of diminished responsibility. In Taunton, a Royal Marine's town, | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
you don't have to look far to find people flying the flag for Alexander | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
Blackman. Well, that is better than it was, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
but I still feel that he should After all, he was fighting | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
for his country and things Yet there are those who believe | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Alexander Blackman had to be held Well, it was right | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
that he was prosecuted. That sort of action has | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
to be investigated. Simon Hollington was | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
a Royal Marine for 24 years, Today he told me Alexander Blackman | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
had crossed the line of what was acceptable | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
on the battlefield. I can understand how he did | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
what he did, I don't We have to keep them, | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
otherwise we are reduced to savages. What do you say though | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
to the argument that what goes on on the battlefield should stay | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
on the battlefield? If somebody breaks the law | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
and it is the law, then they have Former Sergeant Blackman | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
is currently in Erlestoke prison in Wiltshire having served more | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
than three years of an eight-year Now, it all dates back to September | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
2011 when he was serving in Helmand Province, | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
Afghanistan. When he shot dead | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
a seriously injured Taliban His actions captured | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
on helmet camera. But his prosecution | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
prompted protests. This one on the streets | :05:04. | :05:15. | |
of Westminster. And in Parliament today, | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
the local MP welcomed And would the Prime Minister agree | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
with me that within the correct legal framework, those | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
who defend our peace, protect our will from evil, | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
be treated with fairness Another MP, a former soldier, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
said the right outcome had It was always my view whilst | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Sergeant Blackman had behaved in the most despicable way, | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
what he was guilty in the most despicable way, what he was | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
guilty of was not murder. He was mentally ill | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
when he did what he did. He had not been looked | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
after by his chain of command. He had seen things that would have | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
snapped the will and senses of anybody and what he did | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
was awful, truly, truly awful, but it wasn't murder, | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
it was manslaughter. So, murder has now formally | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
become manslaughter, but the debate over the rights | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
and wrongs of the shooting, and the prosecution which followed | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
it, haven't gone away. Earlier the Liberal Democrat | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
peer Lord Burnett, who's a former Royal Marine, | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
told Spotlight he'd be calling for a change in the way military | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
courts deal with cases like Sergeant It'll be raised in the House | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
of Lords next week. The public don't really understand | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
quite what those pressures are. The panel should | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
have been his peers. That is the culture, | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the ethos of court-martial. Only two of the seven members | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
of the panel had actually served in Afghanistan and knew the hell | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
that was inflicted And straight after this programme | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
there's a special edition of Panorama made by filmmaker | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Chris Terrill, who was embedded with Sergeant Blackman's unit | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
at the time of the shooting. In a vital case that could affect | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
the way we fight wars in future, we ask did Sergeant Blackman kill | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
in cold blood? Were there other pressures | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
we had not heard about? Everyone that was speaking | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
on the radio was sending For every individual man, there's | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
a point in which he's had too much. That's Panorama at | :07:23. | :07:36. | |
10:50pm here on BBC One. The most likely cause | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
of a devastating fire in the Cornish village of St Day was electrical | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
according to Cornwall's Fire It started at the same time | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
as several electrical faults Today our reporter David George | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
was invited in, to see Fire has burned through into next | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
door and through the roof. Katie finds some wet and charred | :07:58. | :08:10. | |
pictures of her daughter. I found these pictures | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
of Charlie from quite Everything was in there, | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
our lives, everything and... I came out and there was, | :08:22. | :08:33. | |
in number three, there was smoke Neighbour Tammy Mitchell called | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
the Fire Service and that was just minutes after she had reported | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
a power cut in the estate. The electric goes off, sparking, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
the satellite box is going up, sparking off on cushions and ten | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
minutes later the roof was smoking. And then within 20 minutes | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
two rooves are on fire, Western Power Distribution say no | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
one is available for an interview, but a spokesman confirmed | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
that there was a problem with the transformer that was here, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
which is why they had replaced it Well, let's take a look | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
a weather now with David. Good evening. We have had some | :09:12. | :09:31. | |
sunshine today, not everywhere, but some places got a lovely entered the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
day. This was the sunset in Somerset. Tomorrow I don't think we | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
will see as much clear sky. Cloud will be thicker and more widespread | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
and it's capable of producing some spots of drizzle. All because of | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
this weather front which is slowly coming in from the West through the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
day tomorrow. It will introduce cooler air and that opens the door | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
to much more unsettled weather. This is Friday, a bright start and cloud | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
and rain sweeping in. More cloud and rain as we head into the start of | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
the weekend. Any dry weather tomorrow we will make the most. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
Tonight it is misty. Low cloud and hill fog. Mild bout with | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
temperatures between seven and nine of us. Tomorrow the greyness is | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
there this time the cloud will be quite thick and it will produce a | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
few spots of rain and not as warm as today. Ten of 11 the maximum. Quite | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
a bright start on Friday. There might be some sunshine at first | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
before rain gradually sweep since. They wet Friday evening. Quite a | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
damp and windy start weekend ahead. That is all from me. | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
That's about all from us tonight - that special edition of Panorama | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
been. The outlook, rain around, if it stays dry I will be surprised. | :10:50. | :11:07. | |
Here is Nick with the national headlines. | :11:08. | :11:21. | |
