:00:10. > :00:17.Drunk, uninsured and driving the wrong way on a major motorway. The

:00:17. > :00:21.Somerset woman jailed for nine months. The message I would say is,

:00:21. > :00:24.if you drink and drive, you are putting yourself and other people

:00:24. > :00:26.in danger. Good evening and welcome to Spotlight on Wednesday 7th

:00:26. > :00:29.September. Also on the programme tonight, a

:00:29. > :00:32.fresh attempt to save a vital island link.

:00:32. > :00:36.The Isles of Scilly helicopter service hoping to relocate from its

:00:36. > :00:39.Penzance base. And we report on the last minute

:00:39. > :00:48.preparations as the 34th America's Cup prepares for a week of world

:00:48. > :00:51.Police have condemned the actions of a woman who drove the wrong way

:00:51. > :00:56.up the M5 in Somerset, saying she played Russian roulette with other

:00:56. > :00:59.drivers' lives. Deborah Hunt drove 23 miles up the southbound

:00:59. > :01:04.carriageway while twice over the drink drive limit and only stopped

:01:04. > :01:08.after she ran out of petrol. The judge at Bristol Crown Court said

:01:08. > :01:12.it was a miracle that nobody had been killed during the incident in

:01:12. > :01:21.July. Mrs Hunt wept in the dock as Judge Mark Horton handed down a

:01:21. > :01:23.nine month sentence. Steve Brodie reports.

:01:23. > :01:27.Experienced police officers say they are astonished that the

:01:27. > :01:33.actions of Deborah Hunt on that July evening did not end in

:01:33. > :01:38.catastrophe here on the M5. I think anybody driving the wrong way down

:01:38. > :01:43.the motorway it is playing Russian roulette. And the only way to take

:01:43. > :01:47.the bullet out of the gun is not to drink and drive. The message, I

:01:47. > :01:53.would say, is that if you drink and drive you are putting yourself and

:01:53. > :01:57.other people in danger. Mrs Hunter joined the motorway at junction 24

:01:57. > :02:01.at Bridgwater. But to the terror of other motorists, she was driving

:02:01. > :02:07.the other way, heading out 60 miles an hour directly towards oncoming

:02:07. > :02:12.traffic. She kept going like this for 23 miles. Further up the M5 at

:02:13. > :02:16.Burnham on Sea, a police car had to swerve on to the hard shoulder to

:02:16. > :02:20.avoid a head-on collision. When Deborah Hunt eventually ran out of

:02:20. > :02:24.petrol, going off on the southbound carriageway on the M5, police

:02:24. > :02:30.officers put their own lives at risk by jumping over the central

:02:30. > :02:34.reservation to finally arrest her. She ran out of petrol. The officers

:02:34. > :02:40.travelling north in the correct direction, they stopped, crossed

:02:40. > :02:44.the carriageway, over the central barrier, ran up to her, stop,

:02:44. > :02:48.realised that she was smelling of intoxicating liquor, and she was

:02:48. > :02:51.arrested. In court, her barrister admitted that the mother of three

:02:52. > :02:55.had a serious drink problem and was suffering from stress. She had

:02:55. > :03:01.recently been made redundant and what in the middle of a custody

:03:01. > :03:05.battle. 43 year-old Mrs Hunt, from Somerset, pleaded guilty to

:03:05. > :03:08.dangerous driving, driving with excess alcohol and without

:03:08. > :03:12.insurance. As she was sentenced, she wept and controllable in the

:03:12. > :03:16.dock. Jailing hunt for nine months, the judge told her, it is

:03:16. > :03:20.unbelievably fortunate that you did not kill or injure anyone. You

:03:20. > :03:25.caused terror to members of the public. I would be failing in my

:03:25. > :03:29.duty if you did not get a custodial sentence. She was also disqualified

:03:29. > :03:39.from driving for 15 months and has to prove that she no longer has a

:03:39. > :03:44.

:03:44. > :03:48.drink problem if she ever applies drink problem if she ever applies

:03:48. > :03:50.for a licence again. $$$NEWLINE The Prime Minister David Cameron has

:03:50. > :03:56.paid tribute to South West troops killed in Afghanistan during Prime

:03:56. > :03:58.Plymouth-born Corporal Mark Palin of 1st Battalion The Rifles was

:03:58. > :04:01.killed by an improvised explosive device in Helmand Province. While

:04:01. > :04:03.Marine James Wright, from Weymouth, died while on patrol with 42

:04:03. > :04:06.Commando. Mr Cameron also paid tribute to Lieutenant Daniel Clack

:04:06. > :04:11.of First Battalion the Rifles and Sergeant Barry Weston from 42

:04:11. > :04:16.Commando, who also died in action. I pay tribute to their outstanding

:04:16. > :04:20.courage and selfishness, -- selflessness, they have made our

:04:20. > :04:24.world more secure. Our deepest sympathy should be the best family,

:04:24. > :04:27.friends and colleagues. A woman from Taunton has been

:04:27. > :04:30.released on bail in connection with the death of a schoolgirl. Amy

:04:30. > :04:33.Hofmeister was killed when she was knocked off her bike on Blackbrook

:04:33. > :04:36.Way in June. A local man has already pleaded guilty to causing

:04:36. > :04:39.her death by dangerous driving. This morning Leanne Burnell, on the

:04:39. > :04:44.left, who was driving a separate car, appeared in court. She's

:04:44. > :04:47.charged jointly with causing Amy's death and will reappear in November.

:04:47. > :04:49.There could be a reprieve for Cornwall's threatened bus network.

:04:50. > :04:54.Councillors have voted to delay any cuts to concessionary fare

:04:55. > :04:58.subsidies until next April. They've also stressed funding for buses

:04:58. > :05:02.should be a priority in the next budget. Their recommendations will

:05:02. > :05:05.go to cabinet for approval next week.

:05:05. > :05:10.One of the founders of Cornwall's Eden Project has become an honorary

:05:10. > :05:13.Knight for his work in engaging the public with science. Tim Smit, who

:05:14. > :05:18.was awarded a CBE in 2002, was presented with his KBE at a special

:05:18. > :05:24.ceremony in the county. The Eden project has attracted more than 13

:05:24. > :05:27.million visitors since it first opened nine years ago.

:05:27. > :05:32.The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust has changed its procedures for

:05:32. > :05:35.carrying out lung biopsies after the death of a patient. An inquest

:05:35. > :05:39.in Truro has heard how 60-year-old Philip Thomas died from a cardiac

:05:39. > :05:47.arrest, after a doctor failed to re-inflate a collapsed lung.

:05:47. > :05:51.Eleanor Parkinson reports. Today Philip Thomas's family heard

:05:51. > :05:55.details of exactly how he died. He had gone into the Royal Cornwall

:05:55. > :05:58.Hospital for what should have been an out-patient appointment. A

:05:58. > :06:04.biopsy to test for lung cancer. Because he had other health

:06:04. > :06:09.problems, a doctor was her present in case of complications. As in

:06:09. > :06:16.Tester dated, there were problems. -- anticipated, there were problems.

:06:16. > :06:21.Mr Thomas had a collapsed lung, and the doctor did not to insert the

:06:21. > :06:27.drain into the role long. Mr Thomas suffered a cardiac arrest and later

:06:27. > :06:33.died. -- into the role and lung. The doctor said she carried out a

:06:33. > :06:37.biopsy would be patient lying on his front and mocked the left side

:06:37. > :06:43.of his back. He then was turned over so her colleague would not

:06:43. > :06:50.have been able to see the morgue. do not understand getting left and

:06:50. > :06:54.right mix up. I cannot follow that. I am a builder, i it make mistakes,

:06:54. > :06:59.I put doorways in the wrong place, that is easily put right. Something

:06:59. > :07:04.like this is not easily put right. The trust says since Mr Thomas's

:07:04. > :07:07.death, they have introduced a number of procedures. They say lung

:07:07. > :07:14.biopsy patients will no longer be knocked on their back, but their

:07:14. > :07:20.side, so it can be more readily seen. And safety checks will be

:07:20. > :07:22.extended to the interventional clinical imaging surface. --

:07:23. > :07:27.service. The family welcome the changes but wanted kept under

:07:27. > :07:31.review. Anything it -- any benefit that can be gained from the death

:07:31. > :07:35.is good, everyone would have preferred if he did not die, but if

:07:35. > :07:39.some good can be helped to protect someone else or improved procedures,

:07:39. > :07:43.that has to be a good thing. coroner recorded a narrative

:07:43. > :07:47.verdict and it told the family that Mr Thomas died from a pneumothorax

:07:47. > :07:50.following a necessary biopsy for lung cancer.

:07:51. > :07:53.The Cornish businessman leading a bid to take Plymouth Argyle out of

:07:53. > :07:57.administration has told Spotlight that Football League approval is

:07:57. > :08:01.all that stands in the way of the deal being approved. The club is

:08:01. > :08:04.the subject of a takeover as it looks to clear the debts that have

:08:04. > :08:10.crippled it for the best part of a year. Brent Pilnick joins us from

:08:10. > :08:16.Home Park with the latest. You have managed to talk to Kevin

:08:16. > :08:20.Heaney, what did he tell you? has remained rather tight-lipped in

:08:20. > :08:23.this process, but today he told me the money was still there to take

:08:23. > :08:29.over the club and the Football League will discuss in a meeting

:08:29. > :08:33.tomorrow whether or not to approve it. His consortium, Bishop

:08:33. > :08:37.International, will pay �6 million for Home Park in Plymouth and land

:08:37. > :08:40.surrounding it to buy the land and take away the debt from the club

:08:40. > :08:44.and take it away from administration. That will allow the

:08:44. > :08:48.acting chairman of the club, Peter Ridsdale, to buy the football side

:08:48. > :08:51.of the business for a nominal fee. Mr Heaney also told me this morning

:08:51. > :08:57.that there would be financial security for the club for the next

:08:57. > :09:03.couple of years. This has been going on for a long time. Still

:09:03. > :09:08.very uncertain times for Argyll? is. Only last week, the players

:09:08. > :09:12.were not paid at all and threatened to go on strike. In the end, the

:09:13. > :09:16.administrator paid than 40% of their wages. Even after scenes like

:09:16. > :09:21.this 12 days ago, when Peter Ridsdale said the money was in

:09:21. > :09:26.place, since then, there has been no takeover deal. The Football

:09:26. > :09:29.League is the final stumbling block, they have to give back the right to

:09:29. > :09:34.play League football to the new owners. Without that, there will be

:09:34. > :09:40.no football here. Until that deal is sealed, Argyll are in trouble.

:09:40. > :09:45.Are the other builders -- bidders still around? Yes, there is a

:09:45. > :09:49.proposed deal on the table from James Brent, another businessman.

:09:49. > :09:53.But Mr Heaney says that the end of the day, his is the only one which

:09:53. > :09:57.is acceptable for anyone. And people should get behind his bid.

:09:57. > :10:02.He also said the fans should get behind a blue -- club, the more

:10:02. > :10:05.people who come and support the club, the more money they will make

:10:05. > :10:08.an investor in the squad. That money needs to be invested in the

:10:08. > :10:11.squad, they are bottom of the Football League and they have not

:10:11. > :10:15.won all season. Ocean racing, a verdict on a new

:10:15. > :10:17.seafront and the smell of a famous harbour coming up in a water filled

:10:17. > :10:26.second half. Including the migrating seabirds getting a

:10:26. > :10:29.helping hand trying to find their The company which runs the

:10:29. > :10:34.helicopter service to the Isles of Scilly says the future of the

:10:34. > :10:36.service depends on the sale of the Penzance heliport. British

:10:36. > :10:40.International Helicopters has unveiled plans to build a new

:10:40. > :10:44.runway at St Erth. It says it needs to buy new aircraft, and that will

:10:44. > :10:52.only be possible if it sells its current site to a supermarket.

:10:52. > :10:55.David George reports. Passengers have been balding

:10:55. > :11:02.helicopters for the 20 minute flights to silly from the outskirts

:11:02. > :11:06.of Penzance since the heliport Open here in 1964. It is the longest

:11:06. > :11:09.running Scheduled commercial helicopter service in the world.

:11:09. > :11:15.British International Helicopters says it needs to buy new aircraft

:11:15. > :11:19.for the offshore oil side of its business, costing 16 to �20 million

:11:19. > :11:23.each. The company claims the only way to raise the catch is to --

:11:24. > :11:28.raise the cash is to sell the heliport and so it has done at deal

:11:28. > :11:32.with Sainsbury's, and wants to build a new heliport in nearby St

:11:32. > :11:37.Erth. The company says the site is ideal, next to a railway station, a

:11:37. > :11:41.road and near a planned park-and- ride scheme. It is also close to

:11:42. > :11:47.some houses. The taking off and landing, it is just behind my house.

:11:47. > :11:53.I think that will be a lot of noise. They keep saying they are going to

:11:53. > :11:57.fly at 10,000 ft, but I think they are flying at about 150 ft across,

:11:57. > :12:02.behind my place, because they do not go straight up. The taking off

:12:02. > :12:06.and landing is pretty awful. There were some supporters, but most

:12:06. > :12:10.people were concerned about the noise. We hope to be able to do

:12:10. > :12:13.things in terms of mitigating the noise, where we make it, and how we

:12:13. > :12:17.manage it on site. We had to be able to persuade people that we

:12:17. > :12:21.will be good neighbours. What happens if you do not persuade

:12:21. > :12:25.people and you do not get planning permission for this scheme? We can

:12:25. > :12:28.probably muddle Orme through next year, but I cannot see us being

:12:28. > :12:33.able to continue the helicopter service but on the end of next year

:12:34. > :12:37.if we cannot move to St Erth. So that will mean the end of British

:12:37. > :12:41.International Helicopters. British International helicopters says it

:12:41. > :12:47.did get is planning permission, it will have aircraft flying in and

:12:47. > :12:51.out of next -- a this side by April next year. If it does not get it,

:12:51. > :12:54.it claims the future for the company is gloomy.

:12:54. > :12:57.They were en route to America but were blown off course, and today

:12:57. > :13:00.hundreds of seabirds are recovering in a wildlife rescue centre in

:13:00. > :13:05.Somerset. The birds, mainly Manx Shearwater, were rescued off the

:13:05. > :13:08.Pembrokeshire coast. Staff at the RSPCA centre at West Hatch near

:13:08. > :13:16.Taunton are now working to build up the birds strength to get them

:13:16. > :13:22.flying fit again. Clinton Rogers reports.

:13:22. > :13:29.It may look painful, but this is tough love for birds a hook, right

:13:29. > :13:32.now, would have no tots of survival -- no chance of survival on their

:13:32. > :13:37.own. Stormy seas in West Wales, an RSPCA volunteers are literally

:13:37. > :13:40.pulling the birds from the water. They had attempted to their annual

:13:40. > :13:45.migration to South America but were battered by unseasonably strong

:13:45. > :13:51.winds, and in the end were too exhausted to five. Four we have got

:13:51. > :13:57.18 in there. And so they were boxed up, nearly 250 of them, and sent to

:13:57. > :14:01.the RSPCA wildlife rescue centre in Somerset. Today, they were all

:14:01. > :14:05.being individually weighed and hand fed. They need to be fed by tube

:14:05. > :14:11.because they do not feed in captivity. They are all tube fed,

:14:11. > :14:15.and it is a fish soup we are fleeing the number swanning. What

:14:16. > :14:19.are their chances of survival? should be very good, these are

:14:19. > :14:25.strong birds. We have not found any with horrendous injuries or

:14:25. > :14:30.anything. They should be OK. This is quite a logistical operation for

:14:30. > :14:36.the RSPCA, but I know you have seen this before? We have. In 2007,

:14:36. > :14:42.there were about 1000 guillemots that came into the centre. We had a

:14:42. > :14:46.large number of sea birds. It is large numbers, but we are used to

:14:46. > :14:51.it. It is now just a matter of building up the birds' strength

:14:51. > :14:55.before they can be set free. Staff here are hopeful that all of these

:14:55. > :14:59.birds can be released back into the wild within the next few days. The

:14:59. > :15:06.plan is to take them to the West Somerset coastline, point them in

:15:06. > :15:09.the direction of South America, and hope they find their way there.

:15:09. > :15:13.Now, if you live in the countryside you probably expect the odd farm

:15:13. > :15:17.smell to drift by once in a while. And if you live by the sea, perhaps

:15:17. > :15:20.a whiff of fish from time to time. But one visitor to Ilfracombe has

:15:20. > :15:28.taken exception to the stench of the harbour and has been kicking up

:15:28. > :15:32.a stink! Our North Devon Reporter Andrea Ormsby has the story.

:15:33. > :15:38.This man is a fisherman, the skipper of a passing boat and he

:15:38. > :15:44.has been coming in and out of this harbour in Ilfracombe for 26 years.

:15:44. > :15:50.Just recently, though, his bait has been causing a bit of a stink.

:15:50. > :15:55.fish on board was bait that we used to catch well, it was not for human

:15:55. > :16:00.consumption. It was not a problem. But one tourists took exception to

:16:00. > :16:03.the smell and lodged a complaint with the harbour master. I received

:16:03. > :16:06.a telephone call from a tourist who was here on the cove where we

:16:06. > :16:12.Ofsted now, he had become distressed along with his children

:16:12. > :16:16.about the site and smell of fish landed here. What did you say?

:16:16. > :16:22.explain it was a working harder and these things happen. The trawlers

:16:22. > :16:26.catch and land fish. I think it is pathetic. It is a fishing village.

:16:26. > :16:33.What you'd expect? Fish and that that smell of fish! That is what

:16:33. > :16:38.you come here for and you expect it. We do not like the smell, -- if you

:16:38. > :16:43.do not like the smell, keep away. It is quite unusual to have a

:16:43. > :16:46.working harbour with public access. Ilfracombe is a tourist on. We have

:16:47. > :16:50.a lot of research as took what people like when they come here,

:16:50. > :16:55.and one of the things that comes out is how much our tourists love

:16:55. > :16:58.the harbour. The fact that is it fair working harbour, they can see

:16:58. > :17:02.the workings and the fishermen doing what they do, they love it,

:17:02. > :17:07.and they get a real crowd sometimes watching them do these things.

:17:07. > :17:12.get a complaint has not gone down well. It is ludicrous. If he wants

:17:12. > :17:17.to come to a working harbour, and bring your children, and not expect

:17:17. > :17:22.to see dead fish and smell fish, do not bring them. It is a fishy tale

:17:22. > :17:30.which has caused a stink, but for Dave, life and fishing will

:17:31. > :17:33.continue unchanged. The e-mails will come flooding in!

:17:34. > :17:37.It's one of the biggest sporting events to hit Plymouth, and the

:17:37. > :17:39.start of the America's Cup is just three days away. The World Series

:17:40. > :17:42.starts on Saturday with yachting teams from all over the globe

:17:42. > :17:44.taking part in Plymouth Sound. The racing's expected to attract

:17:45. > :17:54.thousands of spectators, and to cater for everyone the city's

:17:55. > :18:17.

:18:17. > :18:22.waterfront has been transformed. It is all go here, the world's

:18:22. > :18:27.media will be here soon, the tented village is a hive of activity. Men

:18:27. > :18:33.and women hard at work. A bit hectic at the moment. It is, I am

:18:33. > :18:37.glad we started early. I am thinking it will come together.

:18:38. > :18:41.There are about 2000 people here involved in making the America's

:18:41. > :18:46.Cup world series happen, from delivery drivers to the man who

:18:47. > :18:50.gets the catamarans capable of 20 knots on the Water. It is a bit

:18:50. > :18:57.like when you are rock-climbing. If you think about it, you make a

:18:57. > :19:02.mistake. If you do not worry, and just do your job, it is easy.

:19:02. > :19:05.is what it is all about. Thrills and spills on the high seas. In

:19:05. > :19:12.Plymouth, there will be three helicopters capturing all of the

:19:12. > :19:17.action, together with various cameras on board the yacht. Inside

:19:17. > :19:21.a huge metal containers is the complex TV Centre, with operators

:19:21. > :19:27.monitoring pictures and marking up graphics. Showcasing Plymouth in

:19:27. > :19:33.all its glory. We will not get a better and the theatre, abetted you

:19:33. > :19:39.love this, anywhere in the world. - - a better view than this, anywhere

:19:39. > :19:45.in the world. San Francisco, it has similar views, but they do not have

:19:45. > :19:50.the rate element we have here. This is going to be one of the best

:19:50. > :19:54.views in the next few years. Over 700 Plymouth hotel rooms have been

:19:54. > :19:58.booked by those competing or working in the America's Cup world
