:00:53. > :00:55.landmark case, a Torquay man with diabetes has won a disability
:00:55. > :00:58.discrimination action against one of the UK's biggest companies. An
:00:58. > :01:00.employment tribunal found that Paul Bailey, a patrolman with the AA,
:01:01. > :01:10.was subjected to harassment and discrimination because of his
:01:11. > :01:14.
:01:14. > :01:19.condition. Emma Ruminski reports. Paul Bailey was diagnosed with
:01:19. > :01:24.diabetes two years ago. He found it difficult to manage at first. The
:01:24. > :01:28.doctor told him to take a more measured approach at work. But his
:01:28. > :01:32.performance at the AA dropped. There was still a thousand people
:01:32. > :01:37.below me in the country. Nothing that should have highlighted
:01:37. > :01:42.anything, because they knew I had diabetes. But obviously, I was told
:01:42. > :01:49.that I'm paid the same amount as others, and they do twice as much
:01:49. > :01:53.work. You know it was more and more becoming to the stage where I was
:01:53. > :02:01.feeling threatened. Paul sought help from his union, when the AA
:02:01. > :02:04.offered him three months salary to leave. The tribunal found he was
:02:04. > :02:10.discriminated against because of his disability. He had been trying
:02:10. > :02:14.to raise the issues with his employer, that once he was
:02:14. > :02:19.diagnosed with diabetes. These are issues that most employers deal
:02:19. > :02:21.with every day and do so successfully. We found it hard to
:02:21. > :02:28.understand that a large organisation like the AA couldn't
:02:28. > :02:32.get to grips with this. Paul's local MP also has the condition. He
:02:32. > :02:40.worked with diabetes UK to influence the legislation that
:02:40. > :02:43.protects people with disabilities. The 2005 disability Chris cim --
:02:43. > :02:48.discrimination Act is clear that people can't be discriminated
:02:48. > :02:54.against on the basis that they have a condition. You need to do more to
:02:54. > :02:59.assess what that person's ability is. And that is why so many
:02:59. > :03:04.organisations now adopt the practice of having regular x or
:03:04. > :03:11.periodic medical assessments to assess the ability of a member of
:03:11. > :03:14.staff and to help them if there is a problem to retain in post. In a
:03:14. > :03:18.statement the AA said they have received the judgment from the
:03:18. > :03:22.tribunal and take on board their comments. They say they take
:03:22. > :03:27.diversity issues seriously and working with Mr Bailey on a
:03:27. > :03:35.satisfactory outcome. They say he remains employed by the AA. Paul is
:03:35. > :03:42.now happy that he has returned to work on reduced shifts. Earlier I
:03:42. > :03:47.spoke to Libby Doulling and asked her about the case. I think the
:03:47. > :03:50.outcome of the case is positive for Mr Bailey. He has gone through a
:03:50. > :03:55.terrible time with the issues he has had around his diabetes in the
:03:55. > :03:59.work place. We feel for him for that. But what it does show is a
:03:59. > :04:02.step forward for people with diabetes and the recognition of the
:04:02. > :04:07.issues that can happen in the work place if you have the condition.
:04:07. > :04:12.There must be thousands 06 people who manage the condition and live a
:04:12. > :04:17.normal life. How does it impact on people? Well depending on the type
:04:17. > :04:21.of diabetes, you will be looking at taking regular medication and for
:04:21. > :04:27.people with type one diabetes that, would be insulin, by an injection
:04:27. > :04:31.or by a pump. You would need to be checking your blood from a blood
:04:31. > :04:36.test several times a day. You need to be careful about the amount and
:04:36. > :04:43.type and timing of food as well. And also be aware that sometimes
:04:43. > :04:47.your blood levels can crop drop causing a problem which needs
:04:47. > :04:50.treating straightaway that. Is something that most people can the
:04:50. > :04:57.condition can tell that is happening. But it is something to
:04:57. > :05:02.be aware of. How often do you come across cases of discrimination for
:05:02. > :05:08.somebody with diabetes. We do still come across cases, be it in the
:05:08. > :05:16.work place, schools or in social life. Largely due to still a lot of
:05:16. > :05:20.myths and misconceptions. Diabetes UK it -- has produced a pack for
:05:20. > :05:24.people with diabetes in the work place that, tell people their right
:05:24. > :05:29.and responsibilities. We have the ability to support an individual
:05:29. > :05:31.through a discrimination case as necessary. But they are cases we
:05:32. > :05:36.hear regularly. Even though there are people, many as you say
:05:36. > :05:44.thousands of people, who live with diabetes, work with it and it
:05:44. > :05:48.doesn't impact on their life. you. Hundreds of people have come
:05:48. > :05:50.together to remember the six people who died in a stabbing in Jersey on
:05:50. > :05:52.Sunday. Political leaders, clergy and people from different
:05:52. > :06:02.communities in Jersey gathered last night for a requiem mass.
:06:02. > :06:02.
:06:02. > :06:08.Spotlight's Edward Sault reports. They came to remember, to pray and
:06:08. > :06:13.to grieve. This was not an ordinary church service in Jersey. It was a
:06:13. > :06:19.service to help an island that is still in shock. The people may be
:06:19. > :06:25.not coming to the church every Sunday, but in situations as such,
:06:25. > :06:31.in moments of grief, they're coming to seek comfort in their faith.
:06:31. > :06:39.Asking for God's help. And we off ah prayers. Because, what else can
:06:39. > :06:47.we do? The police are still investigating how the six people

:08:47. > :08:53.reed Rie's rookies are to do the same they will have to do the same.
:08:53. > :09:00.Peter Reid has had to rebuild his team F you omit the three most
:09:00. > :09:04.senior players, the average average is just 20. The best thing is to
:09:04. > :09:08.learn for themselves. That is what they will get, playing week in and
:09:08. > :09:13.week out. They have not got much experience, but they're here to get
:09:13. > :09:19.that. They want to be here. This is the difference. Manchester United's
:09:19. > :09:26.Champions League final team in May was an average age of 29. The
:09:26. > :09:35.average age of England's cricket ers is 28. The club is starting
:09:35. > :09:39.from scratch and there is one patient employee who has not
:09:39. > :09:45.received full pay since December. Bits here and there. A lot of
:09:45. > :09:49.credit has had to go to the office staff who haven't been paid and
:09:49. > :09:56.everyone here. You know, I think for what these people have done
:09:56. > :10:01.here at the club, there is people with medals for doing less. But
:10:01. > :10:09.they have shown their true colours. I think you find out a lot about
:10:09. > :10:15.people when thin aren't going well. Three years ago, Plymouth's
:10:15. > :10:23.opponents were in the non-league division. Now Wimbledon are above
:10:23. > :10:26.Plymouth. That tells its own story. Dave will be here late we are the
:10:26. > :10:29.sport news. There's been a surge in the number of passengers using the
:10:29. > :10:31.region's small rural branch lines. On some routes, passengers numbers
:10:31. > :10:35.have almost doubled. The experts say high fuel costs are encouraging
:10:35. > :10:38.many people out of their cars and onto the trains, but they also say
:10:38. > :10:48.the routes are now much more frequent and more reliable. Eleanor

:11:40. > :11:45.it is bad. So the train goes straight there. On this route there
:11:45. > :11:49.has been a 90% increase in passengers. They have carried out
:11:49. > :11:57.engineering work on the track so they can run more trains. Many of

:12:10. > :12:16.We have a fantastic network with 37 stations. We survived a number of

:12:49. > :12:54.later: A festival of the best flavours the South West has to
:12:54. > :13:01.offer. And we're up in the air in the third and final part of our
:13:01. > :13:05.series on the work of our rescue services. People power in Cornwall
:13:05. > :13:08.has resulted in a drive towards community wind power. Two turbines
:13:08. > :13:11.worth half a million pounds are being put up in the village of
:13:11. > :13:13.Gorran near St Austell. They'll soon be feeding power into the
:13:13. > :13:23.national grid. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell
:13:23. > :13:24.
:13:24. > :13:29.watched the first turbine being put up. The two turbines being
:13:29. > :13:33.delivered to this field may not be considered large by modern
:13:33. > :13:37.standards, but they are each capable of producing up to 50
:13:37. > :13:42.kilowatts of electricity. What is different about this wind farm is
:13:42. > :13:47.that its community-owned. They do look tkpraisful. We have got a
:13:47. > :13:53.little one at home. -- graceful. Some of those involved have come to
:13:53. > :13:58.see the turbines being put in place. It is difficult for people to
:13:58. > :14:02.accept something as dramatic a wind turbines in their backyard, if they
:14:02. > :14:05.have no control over the installation, or certainly the
:14:06. > :14:10.profits. So it makes a huge difference if you feel you have
:14:10. > :14:13.done it yourself. Some of the money has been raised through a share
:14:13. > :14:18.issue across Cornwall and some of the profits are going to come back
:14:18. > :14:23.to the village. Funding renewable schemes is a pioneering idea. This
:14:23. > :14:29.project is taking advantage of the Government's feed in tariff for
:14:29. > :14:36.renewable energy and it is hoped to generate electricity for 180 home.
:14:36. > :14:40.The engineering is a well practiced arts now. This is one of the more
:14:40. > :14:44.tricky bits. They have to bolt the two bits together and then it is
:14:44. > :14:47.pretty much done. A team from community power Cornwall have
:14:47. > :14:52.overseen the project and they're pleased with the way the local
:14:52. > :14:55.funding has worked. It is different to the large scale schemes. We have
:14:55. > :15:00.worked with a group in the community and they have decided
:15:00. > :15:05.what technology they would like to see and the the size and the site
:15:05. > :15:11.and we get more support for projects that we develop. Community
:15:12. > :15:18.power Cornwall has been filming the progress of the towers and by next
:15:18. > :15:27.week they hope to see both the blades fitted. Time for the sport
:15:27. > :15:30.now and Dave's back with all the latest news. Exeter City look to
:15:30. > :15:34.pick up their first League win of the new football season when they

:19:29. > :19:35.- squadron. The alarms went off and they were scrambled to a rescue in
:19:35. > :19:40.St Ives. A young girl had gone over the sea wall. The St Ives lifeboat

:19:49. > :19:57.a swimmer. That is some of the rescues we have seen here today.
:19:57. > :20:02.But first look at the work they do. When there is a rescue, helicopters
:20:02. > :20:06.from here are usually airborne in five minutes. I joined them when
:20:06. > :20:11.they're out training with the lifeboats. Their speed and the fact
:20:11. > :20:16.they can fly for up to three hours without refuelling makes them ideal

:20:26. > :20:34.sea around here. They can change rapidly. There is a lot of rip
:20:34. > :20:40.tides and there is a lot of people going into the water. This exercise
:20:40. > :20:46.is in ideal conditions. Often though they fly at night, miles out
:20:46. > :20:53.to see sea in appalling weather. But few nights are as stormy as the
:20:53. > :20:57.night Robert was saved 60 miles off lands ends after his boat caught

:21:11. > :21:15.This woman's husband died in an accident and she is opposed to
:21:15. > :21:20.Government plans to close some coastguard stations. It says cuts

:21:24. > :21:28.there for a reason. They were located in the positions that they
:21:28. > :21:34.are located, particularly on the south coast, because we have got
:21:34. > :21:40.the busiest shipping lane in the world. The role 771 will play in

:22:22. > :22:30.day's work. I was amazed by the blue sky, I have been indoors all
:22:30. > :22:32.day. You should look out the window more love. I haven't got time!
:22:32. > :22:35.Plymouth's local food extravaganza Flavour Fest is packing crowds into
:22:35. > :22:38.the city centre for an eighth successive year. The event is a
:22:38. > :22:40.major part of Plymouth's summer festival and organisers are hoping
:22:40. > :22:46.to attract 150,000 people during the course of the weekend.
:22:47. > :22:53.Spotlight's Phil Tuckett went to sample some of what's on offer.
:22:53. > :22:58.Every where you look, fresh produce. It is a food lover's heaven. Is a
:22:58. > :23:02.buzz in the air in Plymouth where thousands have Tom to sample the
:23:02. > :23:07.food, the best that the -- have come to sample the food, the best
:23:07. > :23:15.the region has to offer. Everything is from the Dorset, Somerset, Devon
:23:15. > :23:20.and Cornwall boundary. They make their own spices. There is no
:23:20. > :23:25.strict criteria. Chillies are all popular. I have come here and I
:23:26. > :23:35.said hello to Josie who will give me the hottest chilli you have got.
:23:36. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:46.This one here. Over a million on the scale. Eat's go. -- let's go.
:23:46. > :23:51.It is OK so far. Your ear will start to sweat soon. At the centre
:23:51. > :23:58.of it was the Ready Steady Cook competition. I doubt they were
:23:58. > :24:03.using any ingredients as fiery. Phil said later he was crying after
:24:03. > :24:08.that. We didn't see that. But that made him cry. I think he needs to
:24:08. > :24:15.man up! So the sun was out today, much to my surprise. What is the
:24:15. > :24:16.weather going to be like. He wants some rain to cool him down. He did
:24:16. > :24:22.some rain to cool him down. He did look hot. The weather has been fine
:24:22. > :24:30.today, but there is some rain on the way. The start of the weekend
:24:30. > :24:34.looks cloudy and damp for tomorrow. It becomes dryer by Sunday. Today
:24:34. > :24:41.has been fine, there has been some cloud at types. You can see this
:24:41. > :24:45.arm extending from the northern Atlantic. A lot of it has been
:24:45. > :24:50.disappeared. But we have low pressure and the fronts are moving
:24:50. > :24:55.in tonight. That will bring some cloud and rain tomorrow. By Sunday
:24:55. > :25:00.the fronts move away and it should be fine for Sunday. With some
:25:00. > :25:03.sunshine as well. A close look at the satellite, you can see the
:25:03. > :25:08.skies have cleared across many parts of the South West. There is
:25:08. > :25:13.some cloud to the north coast. So a fine end to the day. But the north
:25:13. > :25:18.coast will see the cloud move in and during the second half of the
:25:18. > :25:24.night ever which are -- every where will turn cloudy with rain tomorrow
:25:24. > :25:31.morning. Mild tonight. Inland spots down to 12 Celsius. Around the
:25:31. > :25:36.coast with that cloud, just 16 Celsius. So for tomorrow morning, a
:25:36. > :25:41.grey start and a damp start. We will see rain throughout the
:25:41. > :25:47.morning. It should be drier during the afternoon. That rain does head
:25:47. > :25:51.further north A chance of some brightness by the end of the day.
:25:51. > :25:58.Quite a humid feel tomorrow. Temperatures reaching highs of
:25:58. > :26:06.around 20 Celsius. If you're heading out to the regular at ta --
:26:06. > :26:13.regatta, it will be cloudy with some rain. For the Isles of Scilly,
:26:13. > :26:23.it is cloudy with some rain on and off through the day. Times of high
:26:23. > :26:27.
:26:27. > :26:34.water, high tides at Plymouth is at 1006 in the morning. For the
:26:34. > :26:40.surfers tomorrow, your best bet for clean surf is to the north coast.
:26:40. > :26:44.The swell around one foot. For the marine forecast, out at sea, the
:26:44. > :26:51.wind from the west or south-west, force three to fours, occasionally
:26:51. > :26:55.five. Out at sea occasional rain or showers. For outlook, tomorrow does
:26:55. > :26:59.look cloudy and damp to start the day. Feeling humid too. But
:26:59. > :27:03.brighter by the end of the day tomorrow. That sets us up for fine
:27:03. > :27:08.weather on Sunday. There is the chance of some showers to the south
:27:08. > :27:14.coast. But many places on Sunday should be drier. Feeling warm with
:27:14. > :27:21.lighter winds and highs of 22 Celsius. For Monday, things turn
:27:21. > :27:26.unset Wylde heavy showers around. Do without out for some heavy down
:27:26. > :27:32.pours on Monday. So make the most of any sunshine this weekend.
