:00:23. > :00:31.charged with her murder. $$newline Good evening. Neighbours of the

:00:31. > :00:35.Beardon's described the couple as Also tonight...

:00:35. > :00:38.Calls for an urgent plan of action at Newquay Airport. Who will fill

:00:38. > :00:40.the gap left by Air Southwest? We will be there as managers discuss

:00:40. > :00:44.the future. Appeals for your help as this horse

:00:44. > :00:47.is killed in a random attack. Editor -- it is horrific, I don't

:00:48. > :00:57.know what sort of person could do this will stop

:00:57. > :01:01.And where in the world? The stunning show of wildlife right on

:01:01. > :01:04.our doorstep. A pensioner who spent the past decade caring for his

:01:04. > :01:06.disabled wife is tonight in custody charged with her murder. Malcolm

:01:06. > :01:09.Beardon, who is 79, appeared in court earlier today accused of

:01:09. > :01:12.killing her. Neighbours in the Somerset town of Wellington have

:01:12. > :01:17.described the couple as devoted and say this is a tragedy which has

:01:17. > :01:20.shocked the entire community. This is 78-year-old Margaret

:01:20. > :01:23.Beardon, who in recent years had become disabled by dementia. This

:01:23. > :01:31.is where she lived with her husband, Malcolm, who according to friends

:01:31. > :01:34.spent the last ten years as her full time carer. But on Friday

:01:34. > :01:39.police were called here to find Mrs Beardon dead. And today her husband

:01:39. > :01:45.appeared in court charged with her murder. The hearing at Taunton

:01:45. > :01:48.Magistrates Court lasted just a few minutes. Mr Beardon was not

:01:48. > :01:51.required to enter a plea of either guilty or not guilty and was

:01:51. > :01:53.remanded in custody to appear at Exeter Crown Court on Wednesday. In

:01:53. > :01:57.Wellington this afternoon, neighbours reacted with shock and

:01:57. > :02:05.spoke of a devoted couple. I believe she suffered from

:02:05. > :02:10.dementia for many years, and he had looked after her for all that time.

:02:10. > :02:14.It is very sad, because we realise the dedication a lot of people show

:02:14. > :02:19.to loved ones and look after them for many years, and it is sad when

:02:19. > :02:23.the pressure gets too much, and it appears perhaps in this case that

:02:23. > :02:27.has what it -- that has happened. My thoughts go to the family and

:02:27. > :02:30.anyone connected, because it is a very tragic time for everyone

:02:30. > :02:40.concerned. Tonight the family issued a

:02:40. > :02:53.

:02:53. > :02:56.Mr Breadon is due to appear at An urgent search is underway to

:02:56. > :02:59.find airlines prepared to take on the routes to and from Newquay

:02:59. > :03:03.which will be vacated by Air South West. Airport managers say there

:03:03. > :03:06.has been interest from other airlines and they remain optimistic.

:03:06. > :03:09.Air South West announced last week that it was pulling out of Plymouth

:03:09. > :03:12.and Newquay earlier than planned. The company, which operated routes

:03:12. > :03:15.from nine airports across Britain and Ireland will end all flights on

:03:15. > :03:21.September 30th. In this financial year Newquay Airport predicts

:03:21. > :03:31.330,000 passengers will pass through its gates. 25% were due to

:03:31. > :03:31.

:03:31. > :03:35.travel with Air Southwest. Our court reporter -- Cornwall

:03:35. > :03:40.reporter is that Newquay airport for us.

:03:40. > :03:49.Yes, welcome to Newquay airport, where the advertising rates,

:03:49. > :03:54.Newquay Cornwall airport, where the sky meets the sea. Today this guy

:03:54. > :04:04.has been very grey, and that was a little like the mood when the

:04:04. > :04:07.

:04:07. > :04:12.announcement was made. -- tonight Last week, the company announced

:04:12. > :04:19.there will be no more flights after September 30th, effectively marking

:04:19. > :04:22.the end of the Air Southwest brand. We need the transport facilities,

:04:23. > :04:27.better business and tourism, and without it the economy can only

:04:27. > :04:33.suffer. We are a little disappointed

:04:33. > :04:38.because our son stays in Cornwall. I am horrified, I think it is a

:04:38. > :04:43.great airport, a great service people have had over the years, and

:04:43. > :04:48.I think it is tragic. But today, from the airport's

:04:48. > :04:54.management, the possibility of better news from managers and

:04:54. > :04:58.taxpayers. Another airline contacted us

:04:58. > :05:01.following the arrest in from Air Southwest to discuss the route in

:05:01. > :05:07.the future. A we all hear of the problems in

:05:07. > :05:12.the airline industry at the moment, argued convinced there are other

:05:12. > :05:17.companies that could go where Air Southwest could not?

:05:17. > :05:21.Or all airlines have different working models, and we are

:05:21. > :05:25.confident in terms of the economy we will recover, the aviation

:05:25. > :05:30.upmarket is in a severe slump, but the fact we have spoken positively

:05:30. > :05:33.over the last 96 hours with the 9th, shows there is a demand and

:05:33. > :05:36.appetite for services out of the South West, and hopefully we will

:05:36. > :05:41.be able to announce something in the coming weeks.

:05:41. > :05:47.I am not surprised, because Cornwall is a popular destination,

:05:47. > :05:50.and I am very encouraged by it. I did not think there was room for

:05:50. > :05:56.two - back for too many airlines to compete on the smaller routes, but

:05:56. > :05:59.now there are vacancies I am certain other airlines will step in.

:05:59. > :06:03.Obviously everyone here is keen to talk up the possibility those other

:06:03. > :06:08.airlines will step in and take over those seven routes, meanwhile Air

:06:08. > :06:18.Southwest themselves are seeing any passengers that have booked in for

:06:18. > :06:19.

:06:19. > :06:23.flights after September 30th will The RSPCA has described an attack

:06:23. > :06:26.which left a horse dead as deplorable. 14-year-old Lucky was

:06:26. > :06:29.either shot or stabbed whilst she was in her paddock at Churchinford

:06:29. > :06:31.on the Devon and Somerset border. Her owner is appealing for anyone

:06:32. > :06:41.with information to come forward. You may find some pictures in

:06:42. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:45.Lucky was like a pet. But this morning when her owner, Helen

:06:45. > :06:48.Salter, came to feed the 14-year- old horse she found her lying dead

:06:48. > :06:52.in her paddock. Close examination showed up to six marks on the side

:06:52. > :06:54.of Lucky. It is thought she had been shot, although police say the

:06:54. > :06:58.marks could be stab wounds. But whatever the post mortem

:06:58. > :07:02.examination shows, a serious crime has been committed here.

:07:02. > :07:06.It is horrific, absolutely horrific. I don't know what sort of person

:07:06. > :07:12.could do this. There is blood on the trees and all around, so it

:07:12. > :07:16.looks as if the house was moving around before it died. We think it

:07:17. > :07:19.has suffered. This was Lucky in happier times.

:07:20. > :07:23.She wasn't often ridden but was a regular sight trotting around the

:07:23. > :07:31.lanes here with her owner, who had had her since she was ten months

:07:31. > :07:36.old. The order was too upset to speak

:07:36. > :07:40.today, and is hoping that anyone will come forward to help track

:07:40. > :07:44.down her killers. -- the owner was too upset.

:07:44. > :07:48.She was absolutely distraught, she came down to feed the course as

:07:48. > :07:51.normal and found it in this state. Police forensic experts are now

:07:51. > :07:56.trying to find any clues which could help track down whoever did

:07:56. > :08:06.this. Animal owners in the area are being warned to keep extra guard in

:08:06. > :08:08.case this turns out to be more than Reserve armed forces like the

:08:08. > :08:13.Territorial Army are set to double in strength, the Government

:08:13. > :08:16.announced this afternoon. But the plans would also see a large

:08:16. > :08:21.reduction in the number of Regular Army troops. Our Political Editor

:08:21. > :08:25.Martyn Oates has been following the story in Westminster.

:08:25. > :08:33.The plans announced by Dr Liam Fox, the Defence Secretary, would see

:08:33. > :08:36.reserve forces rise from as low as 14,000 to 30,000, and at the same

:08:36. > :08:39.time the Government is pledging money to train and equip these

:08:39. > :08:45.people, who take on part-time military work alongside full-time

:08:45. > :08:49.civilian jobs, to prepare them for the front line.

:08:49. > :08:52.I am pleased to announce the Government will proceed with a �1.5

:08:52. > :08:57.billion investment package over the next ten years to enhance the

:08:57. > :09:01.capability of the reserves and increase their strength. �400

:09:01. > :09:07.million of this will be spent in this Parliament.

:09:07. > :09:11.A at the same time, the number of regular troops will be cut, by

:09:11. > :09:15.around one fifth. Labour has latched on to that and said this is

:09:15. > :09:20.slashing the army. I lit at the Territorial Army website earlier

:09:20. > :09:25.today and they said that most jobs are open to territorial lists, and

:09:25. > :09:28.I guess after this announcement a lot more will be on offer.

:09:28. > :09:31.Police investigating a suspected double murder in Cornwall say

:09:31. > :09:34.they've recovered two bodies. Human remains and a vehicle were

:09:34. > :09:36.discovered on farmland near St Austell last week by police

:09:36. > :09:39.investigating the disappearance of two men, David Griffiths and Brett

:09:39. > :09:41.Flowernoy. Earlier today a 25-year- old man was arrested in the

:09:41. > :09:44.Huddersfield area of West Yorkshire on suspicion of murder. 28-year-old

:09:44. > :09:52.Ross Jan Stone from Cornwall has already been charged with disposing

:09:52. > :09:56.A permanent memorial dedicated to personnel killed in action has been

:09:56. > :09:58.unveiled in Afghanistan. The special site of remembrance at Camp

:09:58. > :10:02.Bastion has been dedicated to members of the Royal Artillery

:10:02. > :10:10.Gunners who have been killed during active duty. 17 Gunners have lost

:10:10. > :10:13.their lives, including six from 29 Later in the programme...

:10:13. > :10:16.Selecting pupils on academic ability - in a new series on

:10:16. > :10:26.Spotlight we'll be looking at the role of grammar schools in the

:10:26. > :10:29.

:10:29. > :10:33.It is not so much a tale of two cities, more a fight between two

:10:33. > :10:36.sides of the same city. Independent traders at one end of Exeter say

:10:36. > :10:43.they are being neglected, while at the other end of the city centre �2

:10:43. > :10:46.million is being spent where a new John Lewis store will go.

:10:46. > :10:51.Our correspondent takes up the story.

:10:51. > :10:54.Richard Monk and his shop have been doing business here for more than

:10:54. > :10:58.20 years, and did all that time he says the council has done nothing

:10:58. > :11:03.to help him or any of the small independent traders who make up

:11:03. > :11:07.this side of the town. It is a bit annoying. John Lewis

:11:07. > :11:11.has come into the city and the council says how high can be jump?

:11:11. > :11:16.Down this end of the time, we feel neglected, we feel that the council

:11:16. > :11:20.needs to look at other areas of the city. We are suffering here,

:11:20. > :11:24.everyone has a footfall, and we need help.

:11:24. > :11:28.Just up the road in this cafe, and business is also suffering.

:11:28. > :11:32.I am all for the council encouraging big companies to come

:11:32. > :11:38.to Exeter, but they need to remember small businesses like us

:11:38. > :11:43.and we need some attention, as well. There -- nothing seems to have been

:11:43. > :11:46.done here since the war. These traders are angry the council

:11:46. > :11:51.is investing �2 million on improving the other end of town

:11:51. > :11:55.where John Lewis is setting up shop. The road layout will be changed and

:11:55. > :11:58.a nearby car-parks kissed up. I think the traders need to be part

:11:58. > :12:03.of the solution, not arguing against us while we tried to move

:12:03. > :12:06.forward, and I told those traders who are critical will vote for the

:12:06. > :12:11.bid, because that is the way to get a shared strategy which will work

:12:11. > :12:21.for the future of the city centre. In this tale of two parts of the

:12:21. > :12:22.

:12:22. > :12:32.same city, triggers of for St say this is the worst of times. --

:12:32. > :12:33.

:12:33. > :12:36.traders on the street say this is If you are a parent, wou will know

:12:36. > :12:38.that choosing a school for your child can be daunting, with league

:12:38. > :12:41.tables and Ofsted reports to scrutinise. But things have changed

:12:41. > :12:44.dramatically over the years. Unlike most of the UK, the south west

:12:44. > :12:47.still has some grammar schools which are state run, but that

:12:47. > :12:50.select pupils on the basis of academic ability. There are seven

:12:50. > :12:52.left, all of them in Devon. More than two thirds of local

:12:52. > :12:54.authorities scrapped them completely a generation ago. That

:12:54. > :12:57.included Cornwall, Somerset and west Dorset. But three remained in

:12:57. > :13:03.Plymouth, three in Torbay and one in Devon county.

:13:03. > :13:13.It was more than half a century ago that the vision of freedom like

:13:13. > :13:14.

:13:14. > :13:18.secondary education for all Education over the age of 14 was a

:13:18. > :13:22.privilege then, one that had to be paid for.

:13:22. > :13:28.This was to change. We aim to give every child over 11

:13:28. > :13:32.some form of education. You could describe it as seismic.

:13:32. > :13:38.It changed everything. It changed the way we look at what education

:13:38. > :13:42.can do, the idea that education is for all, and the idea that it

:13:42. > :13:45.should not matter what your family background, everybody should have a

:13:46. > :13:55.right, an equal right, to a good education.

:13:56. > :13:57.

:13:57. > :14:00.Ansell, the Eleven Plus became key Pupils who did well went to grammar

:14:00. > :14:03.school - the rest made do with secondary moderns. Those who took

:14:03. > :14:06.the exam in the early days still remember how important it was.

:14:06. > :14:11.I remember when we got the results. They were read out in class, who

:14:11. > :14:15.had passed and failed. I remember going the warmth, and I said, I had

:14:15. > :14:20.just passed, and they were really pleased.

:14:20. > :14:25.When I failed the examination, my parents were mortified. They

:14:25. > :14:35.considered I had let them down. I did not pass, and I am glad I did

:14:35. > :14:38.

:14:38. > :14:41.not pass, but they had to go to school on a morning while I was

:14:41. > :14:43.playing football. -- on a Saturday morning.

:14:43. > :14:46.By the mid-60s, the idea of comprehensive education was

:14:46. > :14:49.sweeping in, and over the next few years there was great pressure to

:14:49. > :14:52.scrap the old grammars. So, out they went in Cornwall, Somerset,

:14:52. > :14:53.and West Dorset. But there were pockets of resistance in parts of

:14:53. > :14:57.Devon, which divided local politicians.

:14:57. > :15:01.This was a hard fight, but it worked. We had lots of meetings,

:15:02. > :15:10.and I can remember going to one and listening to their general

:15:10. > :15:13.complaints by people. They wanted the choice. We stopped the

:15:13. > :15:18.compulsory sitting of the examination, that was wrong, but we

:15:18. > :15:22.wanted people to have a choice. By the 90s there were three

:15:22. > :15:28.grammars left in Plymouth, three in Torbay, and Colyton in East Devon.

:15:28. > :15:32.In 1994, Ross Kirton started at Devonport High School for Boys. BBC

:15:32. > :15:35.South West filmed him on his very first day, as part of the Close Up

:15:35. > :15:39.series. Ross was one of only two pupils from his primary school in

:15:39. > :15:46.Keyham to even sit the 11 plus - so going to grammar school felt quite

:15:46. > :15:51.a change. People who live around here it used

:15:51. > :15:58.to take the Mick. If you walk past in a green and black blazer at the

:15:58. > :16:01.used to shout stuff, but I really enjoyed my time there.

:16:01. > :16:06.The university, obviously, we were very proud of, because we have

:16:06. > :16:11.never been, and it was the first of our immediate family that had ever

:16:11. > :16:16.been to university. The school itself, Ross always did well, but

:16:16. > :16:19.then the school pushed you. And so for Ross, like many others,

:16:19. > :16:22.a grammar school education opened up new opportunities. But is it a

:16:22. > :16:32.fair system? Tomorrow we take a look at how grammars work today,

:16:32. > :16:32.

:16:32. > :16:35.and who goes there. And if you want to give us your

:16:35. > :16:44.view on any of tonight's topics we welcome your e-mails on

:16:59. > :17:02.British team. Time for the sport.

:17:02. > :17:05.Yes, to China first, and there was disappointment for Plymouth's Tom

:17:05. > :17:10.Daley and Tonia Couch on the opening weekend of the World Diving

:17:10. > :17:13.Championships in Shanghai. Couch and her partner Sarah Barrow were

:17:13. > :17:18.less than two points away from what would have been a first ever medal

:17:18. > :17:22.for British women at the event. Meanwhile, Tom came sixth with his

:17:23. > :17:28.partner Pete Waterfield, as Brent Pilnick reports.

:17:28. > :17:33.Medals are hide -- hard to come by for British women divers, and Tonia

:17:33. > :17:38.Couch came closer than anyone else to getting one. Despite this great

:17:38. > :17:41.dive, she and her partner had to settle for fourth place. When it

:17:41. > :17:47.comes to Tom Daley, he knows the eyes of the world are on him, added

:17:47. > :17:50.that did not help that his partner, Peter Waterfield, had been

:17:50. > :17:55.suffering from food poisoning in the run-up to the event. It meant a

:17:55. > :17:58.little time to practise at the end of the competition, and they ended

:17:58. > :18:03.in seventh place. You have to deal with different

:18:03. > :18:07.situations. What happens if that happens in 2012? You just have to

:18:07. > :18:10.try and make the most of the situation, and we dived quite well

:18:10. > :18:16.together considering what has been going on.

:18:16. > :18:21.Meanwhile, Cassie Patten knows she must do well in the open waters

:18:21. > :18:26.when if she is to do well in the Olympics next year. The world

:18:26. > :18:31.championships is a baby, because it is also the World Cup qualifier.

:18:31. > :18:37.-- it is a big one. I always do my best, so I cannot ask for any more

:18:37. > :18:45.than that. No medals yet for the South West, but perhaps this time

:18:45. > :18:48.tomorrow we might yet be To football and Torquay United have

:18:48. > :18:50.a new midfielder. He is 24-year-old Ian Morris and comes on a free

:18:50. > :18:53.transfer from Scunthorpe. Kenyan International Taiwo Atieno

:18:53. > :18:56.impressed in his two-week trial with the Gulls and has also been

:18:56. > :18:59.offered a deal. Goal Keeper Martin Rice has also returned to the club.

:18:59. > :19:03.At Plymouth Argyle, Stephan Zubar, Luke Daley and Ladji Soukouna all

:19:03. > :19:07.look set to agree deals. Meanwhile sacked Plymouth midfielder Kari

:19:24. > :19:31.the Junior British Team. 15-year- old Emily King from Sidmouth in

:19:31. > :19:34.Devon is keen to follow in her mother's sporting footsteps. As

:19:34. > :19:37.Janine Jansen has been finding out, she says her ultimate ambition is

:19:37. > :19:40.to be on the same British team as her mum.

:19:40. > :19:45.Mary King is probably Britain's most successful event rider. She is

:19:45. > :19:49.preparing for her sixth Olympics. But she will still have time to
