:02:06. > :02:12.To get a note we had to get him out of the tent and get some fresh air

:02:12. > :02:14.into him, and as Tony said, one of the Goebbels was completely flat

:02:14. > :02:19.out. They contacted the emergency

:02:19. > :02:23.services, and the family of five, that is two adults and three

:02:23. > :02:26.children, were all taken to hospital. The Fire Service says

:02:26. > :02:30.they used a portable barbecue incise their tent, which is

:02:30. > :02:35.incredibly dangerous. By be queues are no different, it

:02:35. > :02:42.is charcoal and gives of carbon dioxide. -- barbecues are no

:02:43. > :02:46.different, it gives of carbon monoxide. They were at that stage

:02:46. > :02:50.where they would unconscious and falling into a state of not being

:02:50. > :02:55.able to assist themselves. That is the danger.

:02:55. > :03:02.We were refused permission on to the side. Although the road is

:03:02. > :03:11.Cornwall's largest campsite. Barbecuing is an integral part of

:03:11. > :03:16.the holiday. Down from Redditch, this family camps a lot.

:03:16. > :03:20.In most campsites there are designated barbecue areas. Here it

:03:20. > :03:25.is pretty relaxed. They are not a fire hazard in

:03:25. > :03:35.themselves, so they are away from Kent's, off the ground, there is no

:03:35. > :03:36.

:03:36. > :03:40.other restriction on barbecues. -- The owner says they intend to issue

:03:40. > :03:43.new guidelines to campers. A Plymouth based Royal Marine has

:03:43. > :03:46.died while on foot patrol in Afghanistan. The Royal Marine, from

:03:46. > :03:50.42 Commando, was killed by a roadside bomb in the Nahr-e Saraj

:03:50. > :03:53.district of Helmand Province. He is the sixth member of the unit based

:03:53. > :04:00.at Bickleigh Barrracks to die during this tour of duty. His

:04:00. > :04:04.family has been told. Police say a woman in her sixties

:04:04. > :04:07.has drowned in the Isles of Scilly. She was pulled from the water at St

:04:07. > :04:10.Martins this lunchtime. The family of the woman, who was a visitor,

:04:10. > :04:12.has been informed. New figures out today show the

:04:12. > :04:15.region's housing crisis is deepening with fewer people owning

:04:15. > :04:20.their own home. More than 317,000 people are on social housing

:04:20. > :04:22.waiting lists in the South West. But only those in the most

:04:22. > :04:25.desperate of circumstances have a realistic chance of being allocated

:04:25. > :04:28.a home. Average rents in the private sector are forecast to

:04:28. > :04:33.increase by 18.9% in the region over the next five years, fuelled

:04:33. > :04:37.by high demand and a shortage of properties. The problem is

:04:37. > :04:47.exacerbated by second homes and higher than average property prices.

:04:47. > :04:51.

:04:51. > :04:57.The proud owner of a new house, but it is not really owned or even

:04:57. > :05:01.rented - this is a council house. It is quite disappointing, really,

:05:01. > :05:05.to think you are not going to get a foot on the ladder and are probably

:05:05. > :05:14.going to be in housing association housing for ever, probably. They

:05:14. > :05:21.are lovely, we love and might house and are grateful for it, but it is

:05:21. > :05:31.disappointing we might never worn our born. -- we might never owned a

:05:31. > :05:33.

:05:33. > :05:39.They this is our House, our little lounge, we have a carpet that is

:05:39. > :05:42.not very good for our little boy who is trying to walk, and he might

:05:43. > :05:47.follow over and hit his head. They say they feel hopeless and

:05:47. > :05:50.they are not alone. The National Housing Association says the South

:05:50. > :05:55.West is in crisis. There are not enough homes being built in Devon

:05:55. > :06:00.and Cornwall to meet the need. There are also specific issues

:06:00. > :06:05.relevant to rural areas. House prices in rural areas tend to be

:06:05. > :06:15.much house at -- ten to be much higher. There are more second

:06:15. > :06:22.

:06:22. > :06:26.In these areas. I think we will see a steady

:06:26. > :06:30.increase in the market for the next 18 months, and by that time the

:06:30. > :06:36.economy will right itself, paprika the in the West Country if not

:06:36. > :06:39.actually, and the market will improve in that latter part of 2012.

:06:39. > :06:43.They it is a market this family will probably never be part of.

:06:43. > :06:46.Earlier I put the points raised in that report to Brian Moore, an

:06:46. > :06:52.independent housing consultant. I began by asking him what he thought

:06:52. > :06:58.the answer was to the housing crisis.

:06:58. > :07:02.There is no easy answer. The fact is, here we are in 2011 and a

:07:02. > :07:09.society has given a generation so many expectations about home-owning.

:07:09. > :07:17.Things have changed very rapidly. People's expectations, however, are

:07:18. > :07:22.still up there. People go on more foreign holidays than ever before,

:07:22. > :07:26.people have cars, we are not as poor as a generation ago. We have

:07:26. > :07:30.expectations, driven perhaps falsely by Government short-

:07:30. > :07:36.sightedness in telling people they will get something from --

:07:37. > :07:40.something tomorrow and they should aim for the stars. Frankly, the

:07:40. > :07:44.penny has dropped, there is no simple answer apart from people

:07:44. > :07:47.taking a deep breath and not -- realising they're not going to get

:07:47. > :07:52.a house. If they do that, what do they do

:07:52. > :07:56.instead? There are huge pressures in the rent market, so that is a

:07:56. > :08:00.difficulty for young people. That is the double whammy. The rent

:08:00. > :08:05.sector is the only way to sort this out, so small landlords should be

:08:05. > :08:10.given incentives to take tenants for longer so. The Labour

:08:10. > :08:15.Government stopped all the things Margaret Thatcher did and

:08:15. > :08:20.deregulated it. Rents are extraordinary -- extraordinarily

:08:20. > :08:25.high. Why should someone want to move into a rented house when they

:08:25. > :08:29.could move into a housing association home? It is very much

:08:29. > :08:34.the emperor's new clothes, and if the king is not needed, he is

:08:34. > :08:39.certainly running around in his smalls. The big challenge of the

:08:39. > :08:44.21st century is not the war, not anything, not disease, it is

:08:44. > :08:49.housing and expectation. The Government says it is trying to

:08:49. > :08:55.ease the situation by changing planning regulations so that house

:08:55. > :09:00.-- builders can build more homes. We could build homes, but how can

:09:00. > :09:04.things happen like that in Devon? We were talking ten years ago there

:09:04. > :09:08.was an enormous thing going to happen. Ten years later, it has

:09:08. > :09:13.been downgraded, lest things happening, and this concept of

:09:13. > :09:22.affordable housing - what is affordable? Something affordable to

:09:22. > :09:26.you may not be to me. Quite frankly, I would prefer a our problems today

:09:26. > :09:30.would be housing rather than being invaded or a dreadful disease.

:09:30. > :09:33.Society is better, but society needs to realise you cannot always

:09:33. > :09:36.get what you want. A big policing operation is

:09:36. > :09:39.underway tonight to try and prevent any violence as Exeter City play

:09:39. > :09:43.Plymouth Argyle in a local football derby. Devon and Cornwall Police

:09:43. > :09:48.have brought in extra officers in an attempt to keep order.

:09:48. > :09:51.It is hoped the match will go ahead without any unrest. But it is the

:09:51. > :09:56.force's second big test in a fortnight, and police are not

:09:56. > :09:57.taking any risks. Our home affairs correspondent Simon Hall reports

:09:57. > :10:07.from Exeter, where the match takes place.

:10:07. > :10:08.

:10:08. > :10:10.Sporting rivalries can sometimes turns sour. And the sun deck this -

:10:10. > :10:15.- Exeter of football games have a history of trouble, so the police

:10:15. > :10:19.are bringing in extra force to keep order.

:10:19. > :10:22.The policing we have for this event is mindful of the previous

:10:22. > :10:28.background and I have significant resources available to make sure

:10:28. > :10:31.the event passes peacefully. There is a lot of preparation, and

:10:31. > :10:37.particularly it is an all-ticket game. Anyone who comes here will be

:10:37. > :10:41.known to add a Plymouth Argyle's Club or two ours. That has worked

:10:41. > :10:45.before, there is no reason it should not work well this evening.

:10:45. > :10:53.The game is not expected to be a sell-out, but police have still

:10:53. > :10:57.given it a category C security rating - the highest.

:10:57. > :11:01.We want everybody to behave themselves,, to St James's Park and

:11:01. > :11:06.have a good evening, see a good evening of football and go home

:11:06. > :11:13.safely with no problems. A to be fair to Exeter, it is usually

:11:13. > :11:19.trouble the other way around, Exeter do not have history of

:11:20. > :11:25.causing trouble in Plymouth, it is usually the other way around.

:11:25. > :11:28.Another high-profile match last week, when Liverpool saw a similar

:11:28. > :11:33.sized policing operation that passed off peacefully.

:11:33. > :11:37.The police say they have -- their intelligence has assessed tonight's

:11:37. > :11:47.much as having a low risk of disorder, but they are taking no

:11:47. > :11:50.chances. We will be live at St James's Park

:11:50. > :11:59.for a preview of that much later in the programme and there will be

:11:59. > :12:02.full commentary on BBC Radio Devon. A new monitoring system to warn

:12:02. > :12:05.bathers about sewage spills has resulted in nearly 50 alerts on

:12:05. > :12:08.south west beaches this summer. The computerised system - said to be

:12:08. > :12:11.the first in Europe - sends alerts which can be viewed on websites and

:12:11. > :12:16.received as text messages. Hamish Marshall reports.

:12:16. > :12:23.The New Alert system shows raw sewage has spilled into the water

:12:23. > :12:29.here at Crantock beach near Newquay since the scheme began in June. --

:12:29. > :12:35.six times since the scheme began. The nearby treat what works over

:12:35. > :12:38.flowers during heavy wet weather causing combined flows 2 one to the

:12:38. > :12:40.beach. We will take this information to

:12:40. > :12:46.the Government and lobby them to say, this is not good enough that

:12:46. > :12:51.you can have sewage coming out onto some of our best beaches ten times

:12:51. > :12:57.a year in the breeding season. Raw sewage can cause bathers to

:12:57. > :13:01.suffer from infections, gastroenteritis, or worse.

:13:01. > :13:10.I come here surfing quite a lot, and you cannot really see the nasty

:13:10. > :13:15.bugs, to what would be a good idea. The new system has been installed

:13:15. > :13:19.at 24 locations in Cornwall and Devon.

:13:19. > :13:23.The system is showing us exactly what we and other experts will have

:13:24. > :13:26.seen, which is when there is a storm there will be shorter

:13:26. > :13:29.durations were water quality is affected, and that is what is

:13:29. > :13:33.happening. So is it West Water says it will

:13:33. > :13:38.wait until the end of the seething to judge the system.

:13:38. > :13:42.-- South West Water. -- end of the season.

:13:42. > :13:44.An unusual project is underway in the south west to track down bats.

:13:45. > :13:47.Healthy bats indicate a healthy environment, but it is thought

:13:48. > :13:50.their colonies are under pressure from OUR modern lives. Until now we

:13:50. > :13:55.have known very little about where they are thriving. Spotlight's

:13:55. > :13:59.Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.

:13:59. > :14:03.Bats are an important indicator of how well our environment is coping.

:14:03. > :14:06.They are elusive creatures, and tracking them is not easy, but it

:14:06. > :14:16.is amazing what you can learn about individual species by listening to

:14:16. > :14:21.the sounds they make as they you -- as they used echo location to

:14:21. > :14:28.navigate the landscape. This is a graphical representation

:14:28. > :14:38.of the sounds. This is an echo locating at 45 kilohertz, so I know

:14:38. > :14:49.

:14:49. > :14:59.Bedrich Hopkinson has his own bat Mobile and locater. It is all part

:14:59. > :15:04.of a project to map but Habitat's. We can mount this like this on to a

:15:04. > :15:07.vehicle, it has a very strong suction cup, and that is connected

:15:07. > :15:14.to the device in the vehicle recording any echo location calls

:15:14. > :15:20.as we drive around. He is working with maps and data

:15:20. > :15:25.provided from the Devon biodiversity centre.

:15:25. > :15:30.We will go up to the side and I will show you some more areas...

:15:30. > :15:35.All kinds of bats over 1,200 acres will be monitored with the help of

:15:36. > :15:41.volunteers. Ian has high hopes for the results.

:15:41. > :15:45.A very rare bat which has declined very severely from the loss of

:15:45. > :15:47.woodland has been found on the Somerset side and we will hope to

:15:47. > :15:55.identify it on the Devon side if possible.

:15:55. > :15:58.By finding aware of the bats live it is hoped wildlife corridors

:15:58. > :16:01.could be developed in the future. Time for the sport now, and

:16:01. > :16:04.Natalie's here with a round up starting with on the pitch matters

:16:04. > :16:07.in tonight's football derby. It may only be the first round of

:16:07. > :16:10.the Football League Trophy, but it gives an opportunity to rekindle

:16:10. > :16:13.Devon rivalry between Exeter City and Plymouth Argyle. Good evening.

:16:13. > :16:19.Last season, the clubs met three times with City coming out on top

:16:19. > :16:23.2-1. Dave Gibbins is there for us this evening.

:16:23. > :16:32.Plymouth Argyle are no rock bottom with a huge gap between these two.

:16:32. > :16:36.Good Plymouth stand any chance at all tonight? -- du Plymouth Hoe?

:16:36. > :16:40.On paper they shouldn't. They are lower than a standard League One

:16:40. > :16:44.side now, and that they are still waiting for their first win in

:16:44. > :16:48.League two and the a bottom of the Football League. However, this is a

:16:48. > :16:56.cup competition, it may only be the first round, but why not tonight,

:16:56. > :17:00.they can do it? Plymouth obviously have their

:17:00. > :17:04.worries of the pitch, is there any worries on that deal being done

:17:04. > :17:11.tonight? Not as we speak. Ostensibly, the

:17:11. > :17:19.deal was not signed but it was agreed last Friday at teatime. We

:17:19. > :17:22.are waiting for the eyes to be dotted, but I can tell you that a

:17:22. > :17:28.few hundred Plymouth Argyle fans are set to come here to sing James

:17:28. > :17:31.Park, what does that tell you about the first round competition?

:17:31. > :17:34.Meanwhile Torquay United will look to carry on their excellent away

:17:34. > :17:38.form when they go to Cheltenham in the same Trophy this evening. The

:17:38. > :17:40.Gulls are unbeaten on the road this season. Yeovil go through to the

:17:40. > :17:43.next round. With just ten days to go until the

:17:43. > :17:46.start of the America's Cup World series in Plymouth preparations

:17:46. > :17:49.have been gathering pace in the city over the weekend. The first

:17:49. > :17:58.racing boats have been unloaded as teams get ready to take part in the

:17:58. > :18:04.international sailing event. John Gently does it - the French team

:18:04. > :18:09.watch as the whole of their boat is lifted from the container ship. It

:18:09. > :18:15.is an anxious time as the crew discover if the report has survived

:18:15. > :18:22.the journey. Went on board the ship, checked

:18:22. > :18:27.that the board had, of the cradles inside the container ship OK, than

:18:27. > :18:30.to get up to the frame without the framework it had been supported on

:18:30. > :18:34.and to get onto the sea and brought it ashore. Here she is, safe and

:18:34. > :18:40.sound. This week, all eight teams will be

:18:40. > :18:44.ready for the competitions. It is going very well, we are on

:18:44. > :18:51.schedule. A couple of setbacks with heavy rain, but nothing to worry

:18:51. > :18:56.about. We have all the containers set up, and we are pretty much

:18:56. > :18:59.working with the TV compound. And the television unit will be

:18:59. > :19:03.responsible for capturing images like these, which people will be

:19:04. > :19:11.able to view on the big screen in the city centre.

:19:11. > :19:13.The first races will take place since -- in Plymouth Sound on

:19:13. > :19:18.Saturday. The young Exeter golfer Harrison

:19:18. > :19:21.Greenberry has won another major competition. The 17 year old's just

:19:21. > :19:23.back from Spain with the victorious Great Britain and Ireland Team who

:19:23. > :19:26.won the Jacques Leglise Trophy. They beat Continental Europe and

:19:26. > :19:29.Harrison won both his singles and his foursomes to achieve a 100%

:19:29. > :19:32.winning record. Two weeks ago he won the British Amateur Golf

:19:32. > :19:35.Championship for Boys. Former Plymouth Albion star Dan

:19:35. > :19:38.Ward Smith has announced he is retiring from professional rugby

:19:38. > :19:42.because of a back injury. The 33- year-old Number 8 from Launceston

:19:42. > :19:45.was at Albion for six years and scored nearly 100 tries for them.

:19:45. > :19:48.The Rugby Players Association said it was a huge shame that Dan was

:19:48. > :19:51.unable to fulfill his international potential because of injury and it

:19:51. > :19:54.was a cruel blow that another serious injury has now ended his

:19:54. > :19:57.career. A ceremony has taken place to

:19:57. > :20:01.officially open Bodmin's new tennis courts which, for the first time,

:20:01. > :20:04.are free to the public. The Beacon scheme was paid for jointly by

:20:04. > :20:13.Cornwall Council and the Lawn Tennis Association. It is hoped it

:20:13. > :20:17.will encourage local people to use the Dragon centre's new facilities.

:20:17. > :20:26.The focus of my presidency which started this year is to ensure we

:20:26. > :20:29.get more people playing all over the country at every location.

:20:29. > :20:31.And finally, congratulations to St Just Cricket Club who have made it

:20:31. > :20:35.through to the National Club 20/20 finals after beating Valley End

:20:35. > :20:38.yesterday by five wickets. They will take on Ealing in the last

:20:38. > :20:46.four next month with the winners facing either Kendal or Chester-le-

:20:46. > :20:50.Now he has become quite a talking point in his home town of Yeovil

:20:50. > :20:53.since he featured on a national TV documentary. Ken Andre is the

:20:53. > :20:59.martial arts expert who dresses in Ninja robes to patrol the streets

:20:59. > :21:03.of the town by day and night. Reaction to what he does has been

:21:03. > :21:06.mixed. So, Clinton Rogers has been out on

:21:06. > :21:16.the streets with him to see what drives the man who lives in the

:21:16. > :21:16.

:21:16. > :21:25.And move through the shadows and help people.

:21:25. > :21:31.A warrior for just causes, or a vigilante? Neat Shadow. We may not

:21:31. > :21:36.have seen him, but he has been working in the shadows of Yeovil

:21:36. > :21:41.for years, he says to keep the streets safer.

:21:41. > :21:47.Ken Andre is a father of two, by day as security guard. Being a

:21:47. > :21:50.ninja is, he says, his passion. What does his wife think?

:21:50. > :21:55.It is great he is out there in his kept doing what he does.

:21:55. > :22:00.You do not think it is odd? And no. I would not be with him if

:22:01. > :22:07.I thought he was odd. It is not just at night time that

:22:07. > :22:11.Ken assumes the role of ninja shadow. During the day he can be

:22:11. > :22:15.found patrolling the areas where he thinks trouble will flare up. There

:22:15. > :22:20.have been concentrations. This is the area yobs would using

:22:20. > :22:24.BB guns to shoot swans. And you stepped in? What did you

:22:24. > :22:32.I got as close as I could to give a growl...

:22:32. > :22:42.What? Are a gravel. -- I gave a growl.

:22:42. > :22:45.

:22:45. > :22:50.Today, police stopped and to check what they thought was a samurai

:22:50. > :22:54.sword. In fact, it is a stick made of form.

:22:54. > :23:02.He is quite a decent sort of chap, not breaking the law.

:23:02. > :23:07.Main due, the formal -- however, the formal police view is they

:23:07. > :23:10.would leave the job to them. Members of the public are

:23:10. > :23:16.suspicious. I look at anyone with a samurai

:23:16. > :23:18.sword with a little suspicion! Make no mistake, Ken thinks he is

:23:18. > :23:22.providing an important public service, breaking up trouble when

:23:22. > :23:26.he can and calling the police when necessary.

:23:26. > :23:30.There will be people saying, you are a vigilante, it is wrong, back
