:00:22. > :00:24.One in five children in poverty - a study reveals how some families in

:00:24. > :00:27.the region are struggling to make ends meet.

:00:27. > :00:30.Good evening. There are renewed calls tonight for more to be done

:00:30. > :00:33.to tackle child poverty. Also on the programme, criticism of

:00:33. > :00:43.teachers - parents of children with autism say many schools are letting

:00:43. > :00:43.

:00:43. > :00:46.down youngsters with the condition. I thought it would be a good idea

:00:46. > :00:49.to take him out of school and a teacher might home.

:00:49. > :00:59.And spending millions less - a warning that holidaymakers will be

:00:59. > :01:09.

:01:09. > :01:12.Official figures have revealed that one in five children in Cornwall is

:01:12. > :01:15.living in poverty. The figures have been compiled from national

:01:15. > :01:18.statistics by a group of Cornwall councillors who found that almost

:01:18. > :01:21.17,000 children under 16 in the county live on or below the poverty

:01:21. > :01:24.line. They are calling for a so- called Poverty Tsar to help tackle

:01:24. > :01:26.the wide variation in deprivation which ranges from 2% in more

:01:26. > :01:30.affluent areas to almost 60% in places like Pengegon.

:01:30. > :01:32.This is the Pengegon estate. Just a few years ago it was known as a

:01:32. > :01:35.problem area, there were burglaries, anti-social behaviour, drunkeness

:01:35. > :01:37.and drug abuse. But, in the last four years, residents, in

:01:37. > :01:40.partnership with the authorities, have turned the estate around.

:01:40. > :01:43.People here now say it is a good place to live. But the government

:01:43. > :01:46.figures show 58% of children here lived in poverty.

:01:46. > :01:52.I know our family whose kids were sleeping on the floor under courts

:01:52. > :02:00.-- I know of our family, because they did not have bedding or

:02:00. > :02:04.anything. There are kids that do not have shoes, and I think there

:02:04. > :02:08.is a big knock-on effect for teenage families, as well. There is

:02:08. > :02:14.a lot of under-age pregnancy and staff and kids are not found

:02:14. > :02:23.missing school. That mediate it becoming an a continuing trend,

:02:23. > :02:27.kids wearing kid. The -- kids raising kids. It is difficult,

:02:27. > :02:33.because child poverty Jimmy his children in Third World countries,

:02:33. > :02:38.people starving. -- child poverty to me. Here it may

:02:38. > :02:41.be children not having proper food, that old cliche of having a packet

:02:41. > :02:45.of crisps for breakfast. The figures vary enormously across

:02:45. > :02:47.Cornwall, but the average is 19%, giving a total of more than 16,000

:02:47. > :02:53.children who live in poverty. Councillors were so concerned they

:02:53. > :03:00.formed a special single issue panel. And you cannot look at it, it is

:03:00. > :03:04.often hidden. We looked at issues affecting poverty and children

:03:04. > :03:10.growing up in that. We look at health and housing issues, finance

:03:10. > :03:14.and debt issues, as part of the package. It is those issues, where

:03:15. > :03:20.there is a lot of good work going on by voluntary organisations. But

:03:20. > :03:23.it needs to be co-ordinated to have more impact.

:03:23. > :03:29.Councillors are calling for the appointment of a sort of poverty

:03:29. > :03:36.tsar, who would lead what they call suitably resource organisations to

:03:36. > :03:39.come up with an action plan to address these issues.

:03:39. > :03:41.There's no doubting the enormity of deprivation and child poverty in

:03:41. > :03:44.Cornwall, as highlighted in today's report. But further figures

:03:44. > :03:54.supplied by the charity End Child Poverty shows there is poverty

:03:54. > :03:54.

:03:54. > :04:00.The highest levels of child poverty are seen in Torbay, where around a

:04:00. > :04:04.quarter of children are living in proper -- poverty. In Plymouth it

:04:04. > :04:07.is 22%. West Somerset, 20%. And in Weymouth and Portland it is 19% -

:04:07. > :04:13.the same as in Cornwall. These compare to a national average of 22

:04:13. > :04:16.per cent, with a peak at almost 60% in inner city London. These figures

:04:16. > :04:21.are based on measures of Relative Poverty - those people whose income

:04:21. > :04:24.lies at 60% or below a typical lies at 60% or below a typical

:04:24. > :04:29.household income. On this basis, child poverty is at its lowest

:04:29. > :04:31.level in 25 years. But there are concerns that with rising inflation

:04:31. > :04:41.and stagnant incomes the measure of material deprivation - what

:04:41. > :04:43.

:04:43. > :04:46.families can or can't afford to Unfortunately this is going to see

:04:46. > :04:52.more families with parents skipping meals saw their kids don't go

:04:52. > :04:58.without. Children squeezing into she's too tight for them and that

:04:58. > :05:01.kind of problem. -- squeezing into shoes.

:05:01. > :05:04.The charity says the three main causes of poverty are low pay,

:05:04. > :05:07.unemployment and low benefits. But the consequences are numerous -

:05:07. > :05:10.poor health, poor education, and a cycle of deprivation.

:05:10. > :05:15.The coalition has said it is committed to ending child poverty

:05:15. > :05:19.by 2020, but the last government hoped to do that by 2010. Earlier,

:05:19. > :05:21.I spoke to George Eustice, who is the MP for Redruth and Hayle, and I

:05:21. > :05:31.started by asking him what the Government's plans are to tackle

:05:31. > :05:34.

:05:34. > :05:39.poverty in Cornwall. DUP -- it is not enough to just

:05:39. > :05:43.throw money at it. The last Government spent a lot of money

:05:43. > :05:49.trying to get people up above the poverty line, but those deepest in

:05:49. > :05:53.the poverty line are not helped. We need to break the culture of

:05:53. > :05:59.benefits, help get people off benefits and encourage them into

:05:59. > :06:05.work. Finally, we need to get new Industry into this part of Cornwall,

:06:05. > :06:08.so we have better, well-paid jobs with higher incomes.

:06:08. > :06:15.It some of the people who fall into the definition of poverty are

:06:15. > :06:18.working, their families have jobs, but they are not very well paid.

:06:18. > :06:24.With the policies of your Government go through, pay freezes,

:06:24. > :06:31.job losses, but will not help, will By one of the biggest causes of

:06:31. > :06:38.poverty we have is that people are trapped on benefits. In some areas,

:06:38. > :06:43.there are generations who have never worked. You have got to stop

:06:43. > :06:48.that culture. People have to get used to doing some work, even if it

:06:48. > :06:52.is a part-time job, even a job that is not a very good job, it is

:06:52. > :06:56.important that they get used to working, getting out of bed and

:06:56. > :07:03.being used -- being part of are relied on team.

:07:03. > :07:07.Briefly, there is talk of having a poverty tsar appointed, is there a

:07:07. > :07:14.special case for Cornwall, and how effective would that be in

:07:14. > :07:18.eradicating child poverty? I am not a fan of tsars. We need

:07:18. > :07:28.the right policy solutions at Government level and council level.

:07:28. > :07:40.

:07:40. > :07:43.I do not think a tsar would change Many parents of autistic children

:07:43. > :07:46.say they are being let down by schools in the South West. A new

:07:46. > :07:49.report says less than half of parents feel their children are

:07:49. > :07:51.making good progress at school, and nearly three quarters say teachers

:07:51. > :07:54.don't know enough about autism. Jamie Porthouse is a bright and

:07:54. > :07:56.capable six-year-old, but he's autistic so changes in routine

:07:56. > :07:59.upset him. He's distressed by crowds and loud noises and can

:07:59. > :08:01.become obsessive about things. His mum, Gail, says staff in his

:08:01. > :08:04.Plymouth nursery and reception classes were understanding and

:08:04. > :08:12.supportive, but more recently he has not had the help he needs and

:08:12. > :08:18.now she is teaching him at home. Le Tell Things can mean a huge deal

:08:18. > :08:22.to an autistic child, and it is that understanding, and I think if

:08:22. > :08:27.teachers listened to parents of the autistic children, it would make

:08:27. > :08:29.their lives easier, the children's lives easier, and the rest of the

:08:29. > :08:32.class. Plymouth City Council said it

:08:32. > :08:35.provides a range of support for children and young people with

:08:35. > :08:38.autism and training programmes for teachers and other school staff.

:08:38. > :08:40.But a National Autistic Society survey found fewer than half of

:08:40. > :08:45.parents felt their autistic chlidren were doing well at school,

:08:45. > :08:50.and 43% said teachgers needed more training.

:08:50. > :08:52.-- and 43 % said teachers needed more training. The Department for

:08:52. > :08:54.Education told us they welcomed the Education told us they welcomed the

:08:54. > :08:59.report as it clearly highlights the difficulties parents have faced in

:08:59. > :09:01.getting support for their children. We know the Special Education Needs

:09:01. > :09:11.and Disability system needs improving, and that is why we have

:09:11. > :09:18.published a Green Paper on the Ollie Headech, who lives in North

:09:18. > :09:22.Devon, is musical and academically bright. Now 12, he was diagnosed

:09:22. > :09:24.with aspergers three years ago. He used to hate school, where

:09:24. > :09:26.teachers who misunderstood his condition treated him as naughty

:09:26. > :09:29.and put him in isolation. Our son has been treated

:09:29. > :09:35.appallingly by the education system. He has been denied his

:09:35. > :09:38.opportunities to develop his full potential.

:09:38. > :09:41.At a small village school, now his mainstream secondary, staff have

:09:41. > :09:44.helped him progress. I Though some schools are clearly getting it

:09:44. > :09:53.right, many parents say more must be done to ensure children are not

:09:53. > :09:57., I am treated more nicely. They know some schools are clearly

:09:57. > :10:07.getting it right, many parents say more should be done to ensure

:10:07. > :10:07.

:10:07. > :10:11.children are not let down by the The number of senior officers in

:10:11. > :10:13.the armed forces needs to be cut and a crackdown on waste and

:10:13. > :10:16.infighting is long overdue. That was the message from the Defence

:10:16. > :10:19.Secretary this afternoon as he announced the biggest reform of the

:10:19. > :10:22.MoD for a generation. Our Political Editor, Martyn Oates, is here to

:10:22. > :10:25.tell us more. Liam Fox was painting a rather unflattering picture of

:10:25. > :10:35.the MoD today. He is quoting a report commissioned

:10:35. > :10:37.

:10:37. > :10:42.by the Government from Lord divine. -- Lord Levene. Career progression

:10:42. > :10:45.and promotion needs to be more transparent. The report also found

:10:45. > :10:55.there was too much squabbling between the three services. The

:10:55. > :11:00.present system, it says, encourages poor decision-making and waste --

:11:00. > :11:05.wasted money. The MoD currently has a financial black hole because it

:11:05. > :11:09.bought equipment it did not have the money for. All of these things

:11:09. > :11:13.have been welcomed by eight Lord Burnett, the South West and Liberal

:11:13. > :11:18.Democrat. We need it a more sensible

:11:18. > :11:24.decision-making process. This change will lead to that. It will,

:11:24. > :11:31.I hope, sweep away these corrosive inter-service rivalries.

:11:31. > :11:35.He is actually a former marine himself, he is hoping this might

:11:35. > :11:39.lead to a former marine becoming Chief of Defence Staff. The report

:11:39. > :11:43.was critical of the cuts announced in autumn. Today we are talking

:11:43. > :11:46.about losing a few admirals and generals, but we know that

:11:46. > :11:48.thousands of rank and file posts will go, as well.

:11:48. > :11:51.This summer cash-strapped holidaymakers will be spending

:11:51. > :11:54.millions of pounds less than last year in the South West. As Simon

:11:54. > :11:57.Alexander reports a business survey says families will be holding onto

:11:57. > :12:01.their cash rather than splashing out on meals out and trips to local

:12:01. > :12:04.attractions. In a few weeks' time, this field in

:12:04. > :12:07.Devon will be full of music fans from all over the country.

:12:07. > :12:10.Chagstock is just one of hundreds of events hoping to cash in on the

:12:10. > :12:17.summer tourist season, where more people than ever are expected to

:12:17. > :12:22.holiday at home because of the economic climate.

:12:22. > :12:27.This year it is economically difficult for people, and although

:12:27. > :12:34.it has grown over the last few years, we are seeing a slowdown on

:12:34. > :12:37.the increase on previous years. The South West tourist season

:12:37. > :12:39.provides a huge financial boost to the region's economy, but this year

:12:39. > :12:42.there are concerns that hard-hit holidaymakers will not spend as

:12:42. > :12:45.much. A survey of more than 1,000 businesses found that bookings are

:12:45. > :12:52.being made later. Perhaps more worringly, families will on average

:12:52. > :12:57.spend up to �300 less during their stay in the region than last year.

:12:57. > :13:00.Unfortunately, I feel it is a sign of the economic times we are in.

:13:00. > :13:05.People will come down here, they will pay for travel and

:13:05. > :13:07.accommodation, but getting them to splash the cash in this economic

:13:07. > :13:09.environment is difficult. The financial landscape hasn't

:13:09. > :13:15.stopped some tourism businesses from investing in their future,

:13:15. > :13:20.with some reporting double the bookings on this time last year.

:13:20. > :13:25.In terms of trends, we are experiencing more people taking UK

:13:25. > :13:31.holidays. Our customers are telling us they normally go abroad but are

:13:31. > :13:35.trying the UK. That is certainly helping in terms of our business.

:13:35. > :13:37.It is now down to us to make sure we deliver and they come back again

:13:37. > :13:40.and again. The weather and the wider economy

:13:40. > :13:43.will have an impact on holidaymaker's spending power in

:13:43. > :13:53.the months ahead, those in the industry will be hoping the green

:13:53. > :13:53.

:13:53. > :13:57.shoots of recovery will encourage Earlier, I spoke to Duncan Currall

:13:57. > :14:00.from Visit Devon. He said even though the result of the survey was

:14:00. > :14:05.worrying, his organisation had not seen much evidence of it yet.

:14:05. > :14:09.No, I think we are getting a mixed message. I think people are

:14:09. > :14:15.naturally looking at spending less, generally come across the UK at the

:14:15. > :14:19.moment. I think quite a few people are holding back on their spending.

:14:19. > :14:24.Interestingly, 60 % of businesses are saying they have the same

:14:24. > :14:30.bookings this year as they had last year. We are confident that a lot

:14:30. > :14:33.of people are still looking to come to Devon for this season, and next

:14:34. > :14:38.year, as well. Or obviously the survey is quite

:14:39. > :14:44.far, how worrying is it? I think it is down to businesses,

:14:44. > :14:48.whether they want to offer and it - - incentive for people to book

:14:48. > :14:52.early rather than leave it to the last minute looking for a deal.

:14:52. > :14:56.People are looking for deals, but when they are looking for those

:14:56. > :15:00.they should perhaps consider the value for money they are getting

:15:00. > :15:05.these days in Europe. With the high cost of the bureau, are they

:15:05. > :15:11.getting the same value for money they got years ago. -- with the

:15:11. > :15:16.high cost of the euro. There is so much been Devon for people to come

:15:16. > :15:20.to, a range of different price bracket. We are open to all sorts

:15:20. > :15:25.of markets, and some businesses will offer incentives, but others

:15:25. > :15:30.will say, no, we will wait and see because we can fill our books.

:15:30. > :15:36.It looks like the high end of the market might be struggling, with

:15:36. > :15:40.the bucket-and-spade brigade doing quite well. Will the high end move?

:15:40. > :15:46.I do not think so. I do not think people necessarily need to discount.

:15:46. > :15:49.I think the offer over all is so good that I am very confident of

:15:49. > :15:59.our product in Devon. There is plenty still ahead in the

:15:59. > :16:13.

:16:13. > :16:15.There is an important meeting about to take place between Plymouth

:16:15. > :16:17.Argyle's administrators and Pilgrims supporters at the city's

:16:17. > :16:20.Guildhall. Dave Gibbins is there for us this

:16:20. > :16:23.evening. Dave, what's it all about? It is an open meeting between the

:16:23. > :16:27.fans and the chairman of the club. The buyout has not gone through as

:16:27. > :16:34.smoothly as possible. A lot of questions, and joining me from the

:16:34. > :16:39.supporters' trust is the chairman, Chris Webb. What do you think it

:16:39. > :16:43.will be the mood tonight? The mood is electric in the run. It

:16:43. > :16:47.is heaving in there, and people are waiting and there is an

:16:47. > :16:51.anticipation. Do you think it will be aggressive?

:16:51. > :16:56.I'd do not think so, I think we will set the tone from the chair.

:16:56. > :17:01.We are asking Plymouth Argyle fans that we do not need aggression come

:17:01. > :17:04.we need passion and answers from Brendan Guilfoyle and the others

:17:04. > :17:09.tonight. We can still see people streaming

:17:09. > :17:13.in over your shoulder there, what do you think fans will beat asking?

:17:13. > :17:19.I think they will be saying we want more information on the prospective

:17:19. > :17:23.owners of our football club. The identification of the

:17:23. > :17:28.consortium, the leaders, the Irish consortium, has not been revealed,

:17:28. > :17:32.as it? Absolutely not, and the rumours go

:17:32. > :17:37.on. We want to know whether staff will be paid wages and whether the

:17:37. > :17:42.club will be in safe hands. If we don't get the answers, they will be

:17:42. > :17:44.in for a rough ride. The caveat is that the football

:17:44. > :17:51.season starts five weeks on Saturday.

:17:51. > :17:55.It is not all good news at Plymouth Argyle, because they're player, the

:17:55. > :18:01.Icelandic international, has today been sacked because he did not

:18:01. > :18:04.agree to the wit -- latest wage agree to the wit -- latest wage

:18:04. > :18:12.deferral. He himself has not been paid... We can see some pictures of

:18:12. > :18:17.him now it scoring one of his best goals, but he has not been paid for

:18:17. > :18:26.seven successive months. It is now seven successive months. It is now

:21:00. > :21:07.In fairness, I must tell you this was our early rehearsal from three

:21:07. > :21:12.weeks ago. It is an enormous privilege to produce such a concert,

:21:12. > :21:15.and also quite a pressure. To be able to play with a group the

:21:15. > :21:19.size of what it is his very overwhelming.

:21:20. > :21:23.The we are really looking forward to it. It is like nothing any of us

:22:34. > :22:38.energy left insiders to pull it And while the festival does trying

:22:38. > :22:42.to recycle what it can, the truth is that most of these tents and

:22:42. > :22:47.everything inside will be bulldozed and sent to landfill.

:22:47. > :22:54.Some of these tents are worth a lot of money, and they just weave them.

:22:54. > :22:58.Pretty shocked by it. I as with every year, Monday is the

:22:58. > :23:03.day an army of 300 and litter pickers get to work trying to make

:23:03. > :23:08.worthy Farm a farm again. It is the likely to be at least a month

:23:09. > :23:18.before these cans see their fields again. As might be for these

:23:24. > :23:34.At least the our animals have left no, and the organisers have said it

:23:54. > :23:59.remember of it, anyway. I can't remember any of it! What

:23:59. > :24:04.just happened! It was amazing, best one we have

:24:04. > :24:14.ever been to. Now we have a long trek home.

:24:14. > :24:14.

:24:14. > :24:23.Thousands headed home by train after getting a free Willy wash. --

:24:38. > :24:47.wrong, I said, I don't want to come It looks like they had a marvellous

:24:57. > :24:58.

:24:58. > :25:02.having reports that the tides are doing unusual things. Unusual

:25:02. > :25:05.surges along the coast. We are going to look at that, talk to the

:25:05. > :25:11.Met Office, also talk to the British Geological Survey and find

:25:11. > :25:15.out what is going on. More on that out what is going on. More on that

:25:15. > :25:21.on Spotlight tomorrow. We have had those tides, really

:25:21. > :25:26.heavy thundery downpours of rain. The good news is for the rest of

:25:26. > :25:29.the week it will be fresher, more sunshine and a drier conditions.

:25:29. > :25:33.The line of cloud has been straining up from Spain and

:25:33. > :25:38.Portugal, a lot of moisture and worms in thus generating heavy

:25:38. > :25:42.showers. There is a clearance in that, edging into the far west of

:25:42. > :25:47.Cornwall, and if whole lot, by lunchtime tomorrow, a ridge of high

:25:47. > :25:52.pressure, fresher conditions, a north westerly winds and largely

:25:52. > :25:57.dry. A few showers in the east. All this week, high pressure get a

:25:57. > :26:02.little closer, by lunchtime on Thursday it is moving right across

:26:02. > :26:06.southern Britain. At the moment, we have showers, one or two heavy with

:26:06. > :26:12.a risk of thunder and lightning. Three whole lot will move eastwards

:26:12. > :26:19.overnight, with a clearance coming into the Far West and a fresher

:26:27. > :26:31.to the day, we may have some patchy cloud that make generate one or two

:26:31. > :26:36.showers, the further west we are the clear the skies and the more

:26:36. > :26:42.sunshine we are likely to see. It will not be anywhere near as warm,

:26:42. > :26:48.temperatures between 16 Celsius and 18 Celsius. A fine day for the

:26:48. > :26:55.Isles of Scilly, 15 Celsius the top temperature with brisk, north-

:27:18. > :27:24.good. It is fine, bright, we may see some showers, but it is
