:00:20. > :00:25.this family to assess their right to benefits. It is an absolute

:00:25. > :00:27.insult and the government should be ashamed of their samples. I am

:00:27. > :00:30.absolutely livid. Good evening. The Hallorans say

:00:30. > :00:32.they're being made to feel like benefit cheats. We'll hear from the

:00:32. > :00:35.Department for Work and Pensions in a moment.

:00:35. > :00:38.Also on Spotlight tonight: Not long to wait now.

:00:38. > :00:41.Families of local commandos get ready for the return of loved ones.

:00:41. > :00:48.We'll be live in Chivenor. Not suspicious, but how did this

:00:48. > :00:58.fire start in a North Devon school? And a country created from scratch.

:00:59. > :01:04.The artist floating the idea of a The moment we cross international

:01:04. > :01:06.waters, we will declare that round a new Ireland.

:01:06. > :01:09.The father of severely disabled twins has described the

:01:09. > :01:12.Government's "Return to Work" plans as an insult after hearing that one

:01:12. > :01:15.of his sons will have to be assessed yet again, despite years

:01:15. > :01:18.of continual monitoring. Kelvin Halloran's furious that he

:01:18. > :01:21.and his wife provide 24-hour care for their sons, yet he feels

:01:21. > :01:31.they're being treated as if they're trying to cheat the system.

:01:31. > :01:31.

:01:31. > :01:36.Spotlight's John Ayres has more. Daniel and his twin brother Tom

:01:36. > :01:40.have a rare genetic disorder. Their father says they have a mental age

:01:40. > :01:44.of three and need constant care. For 25 years, they have been

:01:44. > :01:52.continually assessed and received maximum incapacity benefits. But

:01:52. > :02:02.now, once again, Daniel has to prove he is not fit for work.

:02:02. > :02:04.

:02:04. > :02:08.you want to fill the format? You would? The one to fill it out? It

:02:08. > :02:16.is an absolute insult, an absolute insult. The government should be

:02:16. > :02:22.ashamed of themselves. I am livid. Over the years, we have had so many

:02:22. > :02:27.assessments and here we are in a position that does not respect of

:02:27. > :02:32.carers are trying to achieve. Down has no idea what is going on, it is

:02:32. > :02:35.absolutely shameful. We do need smarter systems to make sure that

:02:35. > :02:39.people don't receive the embarrassment and sometimes

:02:39. > :02:44.humiliation of having these letters come through the post when they are

:02:44. > :02:47.necessary. However, it is important, given that we have to 0.6 million

:02:47. > :02:51.people claiming incapacity benefit, the government has a right to check

:02:51. > :02:55.up to make sure that people need that support, or are they able to

:02:55. > :03:01.get back into work. The review is right, but in the case that they

:03:01. > :03:05.should not have happened. The Department of Work and Pensions

:03:05. > :03:15.told the BBC that people who are too sick or disabled will continue

:03:15. > :03:20.

:03:20. > :03:25.Whilst the vast majority of people on benefits are gem of it --

:03:25. > :03:28.genuine, there is a minority who are playing the system. We need to

:03:28. > :03:32.find them and reviewed them and encourage them back into work.

:03:32. > :03:35.Kelvin understands why the government is re-evaluating, but he

:03:35. > :03:43.can't believe they have to go through it again when the outcome

:03:43. > :03:46.is obvious. We have computers. Why is it there cannot be a link up

:03:46. > :03:52.between national health, social services, bearing in mine we have

:03:52. > :03:57.care managers, professional people that have assessed the boys a needs.

:03:57. > :04:03.Why does it have to go to us? We should not even be on the radar. It

:04:03. > :04:08.is very, very clear that Daniel does not even know the concept of

:04:08. > :04:12.work, let alone going to work. Kelvin is threatening not to fill

:04:12. > :04:16.out the four men protest, but he risks losing the benefits

:04:16. > :04:18.altogether. Tom has not received his benefit yet, although he is

:04:18. > :04:21.expecting it. Well, as we heard in that report,

:04:21. > :04:24.the questionnaires are being sent out because the Department of Work

:04:24. > :04:27.and Pensions doesn't want claimants "abandoned to a life on benefits."

:04:27. > :04:31.The new benefit was introduced in October 2008, but claiming it would

:04:31. > :04:34.involve being assessed. The most recent figures show that here in

:04:34. > :04:38.the south west 34 % of the people who were assessed, were deemed "Fit

:04:38. > :04:43.For Work" which means they're not eligible to claim. The national

:04:43. > :04:45.average was 39%. Earlier, I spoke to Marc Bush, who

:04:45. > :04:52.is the Director of Policy at the disability charity, Scope, and

:04:52. > :04:56.asked him what he made of the Halloran's case.

:04:56. > :05:00.I think the first thing to say is we completely understand the

:05:00. > :05:05.frustration that Kelvin and his family are going through, but

:05:05. > :05:08.Daniel's experience isn't a one-off. There are thousands of disabled

:05:08. > :05:14.people cranny been reassessed under this programme. The government is

:05:14. > :05:18.looking to move 1.6 million people of this old benefit and on to the

:05:18. > :05:23.new one. We understand the situation he is going to it and it

:05:23. > :05:28.is a very difficult and frustrating situation. The Department of Work

:05:28. > :05:32.and Pensions told us that in the south-west alone, 34 % of people

:05:32. > :05:35.are were -- you were reassessed were fit to work. So it is right

:05:35. > :05:39.that these people are checked to see if they can work because it is

:05:39. > :05:43.good for them and the economy. is right that the government wants

:05:43. > :05:47.to reform the benefits system. It is really important. However, we

:05:47. > :05:52.have got concerns, like Kelvin, about the way they are going about

:05:52. > :06:02.this, not just the process of how it is no divine people and getting

:06:02. > :06:03.

:06:03. > :06:08.people engaged, but the test itself. It has been suggested that 65 % of

:06:08. > :06:13.people overturn the decision of the government. One person contacted us

:06:13. > :06:19.to say that if someone is severely disabled and unable to work, the

:06:19. > :06:23.reassessment will pro that up. Shouldn't people go through the

:06:23. > :06:27.reassessment and stay as they are after that? That is an important

:06:27. > :06:31.emailed flagging that because the assessment and the test should show

:06:31. > :06:35.that, however the test that the government has designed does not.

:06:35. > :06:40.There is lots of research that suggests that. The government has

:06:40. > :06:44.had to create an independent review and inquiry to improve the system.

:06:44. > :06:47.We have got real concerns about the assessment they are using because

:06:47. > :06:52.lots of disabled people are ending up on the wrong benefit with the

:06:52. > :06:56.wrong level of support. This needs to change. Does that explain why

:06:56. > :06:59.another person has e-mailed to say they have been told by their GP and

:06:59. > :07:03.mental health services they are not fit to work, but have been told

:07:03. > :07:07.their benefits will stop because the assessments say they are?

:07:07. > :07:12.Having an assessment that does not work throws up these cases, even

:07:12. > :07:17.when there are two medical professionals, a doctor and an

:07:17. > :07:21.assessor, who are disputing this. It is really important we get this

:07:21. > :07:27.assessment process bright, that we support everyone that goes do it,

:07:27. > :07:30.that we support -- so we can understand.

:07:30. > :07:34.70 royal engineers from 24 Commando Engineer Regiment are on their way

:07:34. > :07:37.back home to Chivenor tonight after more than six months in Afghanistan.

:07:37. > :07:42.On deployment they've been working to provide buildings and safe roads

:07:42. > :07:45.and even building bridges. This evening, some of the families at

:07:45. > :07:55.the North Devon base are excitedly waiting for their homecoming. Our

:07:55. > :07:56.

:07:56. > :08:00.reporter David George is at there. 70 of them will be coming back this

:08:00. > :08:05.evening, but a lot of them will come back over the next month. An

:08:05. > :08:09.empty hangar year, it is ready for a party, welcome home signs. It is

:08:09. > :08:12.ready for a party, there will be lots of families here later on and

:08:12. > :08:18.they have been kind enough to welcome me around to one of their

:08:18. > :08:24.houses to see them preparing themselves for the homecoming.

:08:24. > :08:28.Specially for Daddy. Just a few banners to make it obvious that we

:08:28. > :08:34.appreciate what they are doing. We are just looking forward to seeing

:08:34. > :08:39.them. It is good enough just to seen -- say it that we missed you.

:08:39. > :08:42.It is there, written on a banner. You have to carry on as usual. They

:08:42. > :08:47.were gone during the summer holidays so that is not usual, but

:08:47. > :08:55.we did lots of things to keep ourselves busy. You have to carry

:08:55. > :09:00.on. There are phone calls, letters, we are lucky. We are lucky that

:09:00. > :09:06.Devon is a good place for doing things. We just jump in the car.

:09:06. > :09:14.The car has been used for and we are lucky we are all driving. But

:09:14. > :09:18.we have kept a really busy. The girls were making those lovely

:09:19. > :09:22.banners which will be here later on. Joining me is a major Bradley

:09:22. > :09:31.Hardwick to tell us more about what they have been doing over there in

:09:31. > :09:35.Helmand Province. 24 Commando Engineer Regiment have played a key

:09:35. > :09:40.part to live, fight and move over what has been a demanding six-month

:09:40. > :09:44.demanding tour. They help the troops live, fight and move, but

:09:44. > :09:49.tell us about the work they do, including building a bridge.

:09:49. > :09:52.Building a bridge is one of the key aspects to allow people to move

:09:52. > :10:02.around. The one they built is the biggest bridge to be built over

:10:02. > :10:08.there in the last 10 years. It has allowed Afghan National Army

:10:08. > :10:12.partners the freedom to move around that part of the world. It is a key

:10:12. > :10:17.infrastructure which has supported the locals, improved their life and

:10:17. > :10:23.making sure that they can move forward. They will all be back. 70

:10:23. > :10:27.of them, anyway. We hope to bring you the pictures of their

:10:27. > :10:30.homecoming in our late bulletin. A head teacher has said she is

:10:30. > :10:33.heartbroken after fire at a school in North Devon. Crews were called

:10:33. > :10:36.to the small village of Parracombe this morning. The severity of the

:10:36. > :10:42.blaze means it could be a number of days before the cause is known but

:10:42. > :10:47.it is not being treated as suspicious. Simon Clemison reports.

:10:47. > :10:51.This head teacher has just lost her school. The majority of the main

:10:51. > :10:56.building has been destroyed. This is a tiny school in a village have

:10:56. > :11:01.just a few hundred people, but it has managed to survive. The fire is

:11:01. > :11:05.devastating. This is getting for this community in more ways and one.

:11:05. > :11:09.We can see that the roof has gone. That means the school will be out

:11:09. > :11:17.of action. The local residents fought to keep the score and give

:11:17. > :11:21.it a future and it is very bad news. So at this is some of what the fire

:11:21. > :11:28.brigade has salvaged? They have been fantastic and they have

:11:28. > :11:33.removed as much as they could from a classroom also remains intact.

:11:33. > :11:37.The impact is absolutely colossal. It is heartbreaking for everyone.

:11:37. > :11:40.The school is the heart of the community. The school was well

:11:40. > :11:45.alight by the time crews arrived at 7am this morning. They may have

:11:45. > :11:50.taken time for someone to spot the fire and reported. A couple of

:11:50. > :11:54.hours later, and the children would have been riding for lessons.

:11:54. > :12:02.of the community could have been lost, which is devastating. The

:12:02. > :12:06.children could have been arriving at school a couple of hours later.

:12:06. > :12:10.The children were taken to their sister school were held principle

:12:10. > :12:15.was on offer. They are young and this could be traumatising. One

:12:15. > :12:20.parent agreed to speak to us. Initially, the children were

:12:20. > :12:23.pleased because they thought they might have a day off school. But as

:12:23. > :12:27.the news of old, we realised that it was more serious than we thought

:12:27. > :12:31.and everyone was really upset and worried. The the damage will be

:12:31. > :12:36.repaired and the school will reopen, but it may take some time for this

:12:36. > :12:40.community to fully recover. A new fire and rescue control

:12:40. > :12:43.centre in Taunton which has lain empty for more than three years is

:12:43. > :12:45.a "white elephant" according to a parliamentary committee. The centre

:12:45. > :12:49.was part of the former Labour government's plan for nine large

:12:49. > :12:52.regional control centres. Now the public accounts committee has said

:12:52. > :12:59.the project was a "complete failure" and has wasted �469

:12:59. > :13:07.million. Later in the programme, a special

:13:27. > :13:30.More than 6,000 people complained to south west Water last year. It's

:13:30. > :13:35.a drop of just over 30%, but it's still the second most complained

:13:35. > :13:41.about company in the country. South West Water says it expects to see

:13:41. > :13:44.another reduction in the number of written complaints in the future.

:14:23. > :14:27.with water after a pump failed on its journey from Dartmouth to

:14:27. > :14:30.Plymouth. Cornwall's Chief Police officer

:14:30. > :14:32.says all forensic evidence from crimes in the Devon and Cornwall

:14:32. > :14:35.will be handled by private companies from next month. Chief

:15:10. > :15:13.An artist on an arctic expedition to bring back part of an island to

:15:13. > :15:15.the southwest is now en-route to international waters. Alex

:15:15. > :15:18.Hartley's Arts Council-funded project is hoping to start a new

:15:18. > :15:22.nation called "nowhereisland". The new island will then navigate the

:15:22. > :15:24.entire 702 miles of the coast of the south west, visiting its ports

:15:24. > :15:34.and harbours. Spotlight's Johnny Rutherford sent this report from

:15:34. > :15:40.the High Arctic. At the position of 7842 degrees

:15:40. > :15:45.north, is an Arctic island which recently became revealed by a

:15:45. > :15:50.retreating glazier. This previously uncharted island was discovered in

:15:50. > :15:58.2004 by artist Alex Hartley. Now he is back to take some of it away in

:15:58. > :16:02.the name of art. It is good to be back. His idea is to take part of

:16:02. > :16:08.the land to make a floating sculpture in the shape of the

:16:08. > :16:13.island. He wants to tour it around the coastline of south-west England.

:16:13. > :16:16.It has come out of a retreating glacier. The glacier has moved back

:16:16. > :16:21.and revealed the land. We are taking that land to make a new

:16:21. > :16:26.country and that is heading south. It will gather ideas around climate

:16:26. > :16:31.change, land, colonialism, migration, all of these issues that

:16:31. > :16:37.could be put on to the bank cambers of Disneyland. There are 16 on the

:16:37. > :16:44.expedition team helping to develop the Arts Council funded, �5,000 a

:16:44. > :16:48.project. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for melting glaciers. In a

:16:48. > :16:55.way, that is a symbol for climate change. The origins of this island

:16:55. > :16:58.are really a symbol of the mess we have made and the failure of

:16:58. > :17:05.existing systems of the Government's a nation's to solve

:17:05. > :17:15.these problems. The island is a displaced nation

:17:15. > :17:20.

:17:20. > :17:24.journeying south in search of its Next year as part of the Cultural

:17:24. > :17:28.Olympiad, the island will be towed into various ports across the

:17:28. > :17:36.south-west on his journey from Weymouth to Bristol. The journey

:17:36. > :17:41.will be followed a man to buy a mobile members -- mobile Mosey him.

:17:41. > :17:44.-- mobile museum. Whether you think it is a waste of money or a great

:17:44. > :17:47.project, it has got a lot of people talking about it.

:17:47. > :17:51.So what do you think of that project? Let us know via email or

:17:51. > :18:01.Twitter and we'll try to include a few of your comments before the end

:18:01. > :18:09.

:18:09. > :18:12.Thank you, Steve, for your comments. Not sure I'm going to read that one

:18:12. > :18:16.out! He is not very keen on the idea or

:18:16. > :18:20.how it is being funded. It's time for a quick sports round

:18:20. > :18:30.up now. Natalie's here with the details.

:18:30. > :18:32.

:18:32. > :18:38.I want to know what Steve said now! Ben Ainslie has been officially

:18:38. > :18:42.selected to represent Great Britain in the Olympics next year. The 34-

:18:42. > :18:46.year-old is honoured and relieved to be selected. He said to compete

:18:46. > :18:52.in home waters is a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity. If he takes

:18:52. > :18:57.gold, only Steve Redgrave will have taken more. But then it knows it

:18:57. > :19:02.will not be plain sailing. It is never easy, the Olympics get

:19:02. > :19:06.harder each time. I have the home advantage in terms of sailing at

:19:06. > :19:09.Portsmouth and Weymouth. The home crowd will help for sure, but it

:19:09. > :19:15.will be tough. It is always tough, you have to train hard and the

:19:15. > :19:20.preparation has to be perfect to go have a chance of getting the metal.

:19:20. > :19:23.-- the medal. Marcus Trescothick has become the

:19:23. > :19:26.first cricketer to win the Most Valuable Cricketer Award for a

:19:26. > :19:29.second time. The Somerset Captain piled up 2,518 runs this summer in

:19:29. > :19:32.all competitions, in excess of 500 more than his nearest rival and

:19:32. > :19:42.also held 38 slip catches. He previously won the MVP award in

:19:42. > :19:45.

:19:45. > :19:48.2009. It's been another brilliant few

:19:48. > :19:51.days for young Devon golf star Harrison Greenberry. He's been

:19:51. > :19:53.invited to play in the prestigious Abu Dhabi Junior Golf Championship

:19:53. > :19:56.and selected for the England boys under 18 performance Coaching Squad,

:19:56. > :19:59.which means he will almost certainly be selected to play for

:19:59. > :20:09.England in the future. Among other recent successes he also won the

:20:09. > :20:10.

:20:10. > :20:13.Devon EGU Scratch foursomes trophy for men.

:20:13. > :20:23.Now if you were on to Polzeath Beach in Cornwall early this

:20:23. > :20:23.

:20:23. > :20:29.Somerset needed to regroup after failing in England. They have been

:20:29. > :20:33.in India less than a day, but there was no sign of any jet lag.

:20:33. > :20:37.Somerset had qualified for this tournament by beating the English

:20:37. > :20:40.2020 final one month ago, but had travelled to India without their

:20:40. > :20:44.captain and three other first- choice players because of

:20:44. > :20:52.international commitments. It did not seem to matter as Auckland

:20:52. > :21:00.found life hard. And at times, visibly frustrating. 126 was

:21:00. > :21:04.Somerset's target. The South African was a big hit with the

:21:04. > :21:08.county earlier in the season and has returned for the Champions'

:21:08. > :21:11.League. His dismissal started a collapse of wickets and Somerset

:21:11. > :21:16.were starting to get that familiar sinking feeling. They needed a bit

:21:16. > :21:21.of luck and got it, but it would still come down to the very last

:21:21. > :21:25.ball. Stand-in skipper of getting the runs they needed. After all

:21:25. > :21:35.their heartache, a hard win, and they have to do it all again

:21:35. > :21:40.

:21:40. > :21:50.It's been another brilliant few days for young Devon golf star

:21:50. > :21:54.

:21:54. > :21:57.Now if you were on to Polzeath Beach in Cornwall early this

:21:57. > :22:00.morning you will have spotted some rather unusual four-legged bathers.

:22:00. > :22:02.Mingling with the surfers were more than 30 horses from the Kings Troop

:22:02. > :22:05.Royal Artillery. They have travelled down from London for

:22:05. > :22:07.their annual summer camp and some sea air. Eleanor Parkinson reports.

:22:08. > :22:10.These are some of the army's finest horses and they have swapped London

:22:10. > :22:14.for Cornwall. It may look like a holiday, but it is a training camp

:22:14. > :22:17.and this is the first time many of them have seen the sea. Some added

:22:17. > :22:21.to the whole thing like a horse to water. Others were not quite as

:22:21. > :22:27.keen. Among those heading his ex was Harlequin. He is young and was

:22:27. > :22:31.given to the trip by the Queen. Did you get him in the water?

:22:31. > :22:35.got him up to his knees so by the end of the week, I hope we will be

:22:35. > :22:40.swimming out there with everyone else. It you think the Queen would

:22:40. > :22:44.be watching his progress? watches him closely when she visits

:22:44. > :22:50.the trip. But he is a bit of a cheeky chap and he tries to give

:22:50. > :22:54.her a nip every time. I have been riding pepper. She is young, this

:22:54. > :23:00.is her second time on summer camp. She is a water baby so she took me

:23:00. > :23:04.swimming! You are very wet, aren't you? She went straight in. They

:23:04. > :23:11.normally go in in pairs, but she went in with me and decided to swim,

:23:11. > :23:16.I don't mine there. We have got two types of horses.

:23:16. > :23:22.They are all over 17 hands and the idea is that when you are at Battle,

:23:22. > :23:27.you can have a greater height advantage. He is called Ben gent,

:23:27. > :23:30.he is five years old and this is the first time he has seen the sea.

:23:30. > :23:34.After a long journey from London, these courses needed to stretch

:23:34. > :23:39.their legs. The fresh air was too much for this course who decided to

:23:39. > :23:42.go for a couple of extra laps. They will be in Cornwall all week and

:23:42. > :23:50.the public gets the chance to see them this Saturday at a special

:23:50. > :23:55.open day. That is a fantastic sight. Maybe

:23:55. > :24:03.not a good day for us to be on the beach, but the horses didn't seem

:24:03. > :24:09.The weather is a bit miserable this evening if you are coming home from

:24:09. > :24:14.work, there is a lot of wet weather around. But it is steadily moving,

:24:14. > :24:20.slow progress. Whilst most of us are asleep, the brain band should

:24:20. > :24:23.clear. You can see from the satellite picture, these great

:24:23. > :24:29.amount of cloud stretching from the south, feeding and moist, mild air

:24:29. > :24:32.and giving us the rain that we have now. There is some parents, that is

:24:32. > :24:35.already into the southern island. You can see clearer skies coming in

:24:35. > :24:39.now. That weather front will continue to push East, slow to

:24:39. > :24:43.clear for the Channel Islands and Dorset first thing tomorrow, but

:24:43. > :24:46.for the rest of us, we should have a bright start, a bit misty in

:24:46. > :24:51.places and then the high-pressure lives end during Thursday. Thursday

:24:51. > :24:57.is not a bad day. We should see some sunshine Bury day. Relatively

:24:57. > :25:01.mild as well. Already some heavy bursts of rain appearing and that

:25:01. > :25:06.will continue to spread across the south-west overnight. Turning out

:25:06. > :25:10.to be wet, a lot of hill fog as well. Eventually, it peters out and

:25:10. > :25:17.this East. Whilst we seek some players cars, at the same time we

:25:17. > :25:22.will see Mr and fog patches. The temperatures will get down to nine

:25:22. > :25:26.or 10 degrees for most of us. Tomorrow morning, some at mistiness

:25:26. > :25:31.and rain across the far south a Dorset. Quickly it will brighten up

:25:31. > :25:35.and we should see sunny spells and to later in the day, a couple of

:25:35. > :25:39.showers are possible. On the whole, for most of us, we should see

:25:39. > :25:43.bright weather and some sunshine. Damages getting up to 17 or 18

:25:43. > :25:45.degrees. Increasingly breezy, especially to end the day,

:25:45. > :25:52.particularly along the north Devon coast and through the Bristol

:25:52. > :26:02.Channel. For the Isles of Scilly, a fine day. We should see dry

:26:02. > :26:06.

:26:06. > :26:16.conditions with a sunny spells. For a work surface, as the breeze

:26:16. > :26:18.

:26:18. > :26:22.picks up, the serve well as well. - The onshore breeze will be a force

:26:22. > :26:28.of four tomorrow, picking up to a force five, and into the evening it

:26:28. > :26:31.will peak at a six. Mainly fair with the risk of a few showers and

:26:32. > :26:37.a moderate or good visibility. Here is the book has all the best of

:26:37. > :26:41.this week. Thursday is a rather cloudy, but we should see some

:26:41. > :26:46.breaks in the cloud. It is a dry day. Temperatures will be on the

:26:46. > :26:50.rise by Friday. Again, a lot of cloud around, but some breaks

:26:50. > :27:00.developing. Saturday is more generally cloudy, and later in the

:27:00. > :27:01.

:27:01. > :27:06.day, we will see patchy rain. Mild for the rest of the week.

:27:06. > :27:09.We have had an unprecedented amount of e-mails about the island. We did

:27:09. > :27:17.not even give me the news room number and the phones are jammed

:27:17. > :27:21.upstairs. Derek says, in my opinion, this is a waste of money and an

:27:21. > :27:26.insult to those struggling financially into a's climate.

:27:26. > :27:34.Another person says, waste of money. Maybe it could become a floating
