Clearing up tonight after a day of torrential rain causes flash | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
:00:19. | :00:22. | ||
flooding. In 10 minutes we were under 10 inches of water. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Good evening. We'll be live in Mevagissey where once again homes | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
:00:35. | :00:41. | ||
and businesses have been hit. AB is destroy his local school. I can't | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
believe it has happened. And spanning 50 years - memories of | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
the day the Tamar bridge opened to traffic. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
The region is clearing up tonight after a combination of heavy rain | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
and gale force winds caused flash flooding. Seafronts were closed, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
flights and ferries were disrupted and trees were brought down. At one | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
point four miles of queuing traffic was held up by flooding on the A30 | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
near Exeter. In Cornwall 100 highways staff were called out to | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
deal with more than 300 incidents. Homes have also been flooded in | :01:11. | :01:21. | |

Mevagissey. Amy Cole is there tonight. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
It is fine light -- it has finally stopped raining but not before the | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
weather week have it in this village. I have been talking to | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
residents who are already starting to count the cost of the damage. | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
Jail has only own this cottage with three weeks. It is her holiday home | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
and she arrived from Swindon to find this... I opened the door and | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
it was full of water, about two to three inches. We started bailing | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
out as much as we could but it was coming in as fast as we were | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
bailing out. This cottage has already had a major refurbishment | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
following last year's torrential rain. Mopping up are the owners of | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
this pub. They were forced to close this lunchtime. Within 10 minutes | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
it was just full of water, 10 inches. We had customers in at the | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
time and everyone had to leave. This last hour, we have just been | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
able to get it cleared a little bit. It is not as bad as last time. We | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
lost stark and furniture last time, was horrendous. The biggest thing | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
is the trait. We have had to shut on lunchtime. This couple are still | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
putting their house back together after last year's flood. Every time | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
you seem to get heavy water down here, we seem to have problems in | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
the village. Something has got to be done about it properly. Indeed | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
this afternoon, a number of sandbags have been put out to help | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
prevent further damage. The Environment Agency and Cornwall | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Council said they are working with local residents to sort out any | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
problems. The pub you saw has managed to open this evening and | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
the owner is very happy. It depends what the weather is going to do | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
over the next few hours. We will hear more about that later. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
One of the men accused of planning to attack the Devon soul singer, | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Joss Stone, has now also been accused of conspiracy to murder her. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
The new charge was added as the two men accused of plotting to rob her | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
and commit grievous bodily harm appeared at Exeter Crown Court | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
today. Spotlight's home affairs correspondent Simon Hall was at the | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
:03:57. | :03:58. | ||
hearing. Such is the fame and popularity of | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
just stone, this case has gone international attention. She has | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
had a series of hits and is said to be worth around �9 million. An | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
extensive police operation began when two men were arrested near her | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
home in a quiet Devon countryside. Weapons including a samurai sword, | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
a body bag and ropes were found in the car they were driving. Kevin | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
Liverpool who is 33, and junior Bradshaw, 30, were charged with | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm. Today a new allegation | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
was added. Mr Liverpool was charged with conspiracy to murder. The men | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
listened to the details in the dark. They spoke only to confirm their | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
identities and when Mr Liverpool replied not guilty in response to | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
charges against him. Mr Bradshaw did not enter a plea. The case was | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
adjourned and they won't reappear on 20th January. The court heard | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
the case is continuing in the Manchester area. Reports are | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
awaited before proceedings continue. Both men were remanded in custody. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Jos stone's mother was in court today. She said the singer was well | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
and getting on better life but she said she was being kept updated on | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
how the case was progressing. -- getting on with her life. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
The European Court of Human Rights has rejected claims that one of two | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
brothers serving a life sentence for the murder of a Cornish couple | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
didn't get a fair trial. Robert and Lee Firkins were jailed for life at | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Exeter Crown Court after a jury convicted them of murdering Carol | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
and Graham Fisher near Wadebridge in 2003. The court in Strasbourg | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
:05:54. | :05:57. | ||
ruled Lee Firkin's complaints were manifestly ill-founded. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
A teenage body-boarder has had to be rescued after getting into | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
trouble off the Cornish coast. The 16-year-old was thrown on to rocks | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
at Portscatho, near Falmouth. Two lifeboats were called out but | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
couldn't get near to him. In the end he was helped to safety by a | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
cliff rescue team. A survey by the BBC suggests that | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
one in ten A-level students have been put off university because of | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
the increase in tuition fees. And those that do go may need to choose | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
wisely. Out of the four south west universities, the only degree | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
choices with zero unemployment prospects were medicine and | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
dentistry. And you can see more on what course to take - and possibly | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
avoid - on Inside Out on BBC One at 7.30 tonight. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
There's new evidence tonight that Exeter is tightening its grip as | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
the region's capital of upmarket shopping. Spotlight has found that | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
the city is continuing to develop even in tough times, while it's a | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
different story in Plymouth and Truro. All this week in a series of | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
special reports we're looking at different aspects of life in these | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
three South West cities and asking who's going up in the world and | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
who's going down. Tonight's Tale of Three Cities, about shopping, is by | :06:57. | :07:07. | |
:07:07. | :07:08. | ||
Neil Gallacher. The latest big news shopping | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
development in Exeter, Wii prose has been brought here by this man. | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
But he is going to do a great deal more of with his next store. He is | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
also development director for John Lewis. They are sold on Exeter. | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Exeter is a place we have been trying to get into for considerable | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
years and we are delighted Waitrose have opened their first store here. | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
It is a vibrant city and seems to be surviving the downturn better | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
than anywhere else and I am sure it has a fantastic future. One reason | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
for Exeter's retail success is geography. According to one method | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
:07:57. | :08:00. | ||
of red -- measuring population,, different cities have different | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
retail catchments. You might point out that Exeter, with its new rate | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
rose, is just getting what Plymouth has enjoyed for years at Saltash. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Plymouth has developed some of these retail problems. Five years | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
ago all was rosy when the City got new shops but now, Plymouth seems | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
to have too many shops. It has been exacerbated here but by the | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
improbable coincidence of TJ Hughes and Woolworths, the three anchor | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
stores, all falling vacant at the same time. And that is not because | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
Plymouth is no hope, just bad luck? It is just bad luck. It is an | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
unfortunate coincidence. Plymouth is well placed to draw in shoppers | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
from Exeter or Truro as long as they don't want mainly upmarket | :08:54. | :09:04. | |
shopping. The shops here reflect the nature of the place. A way to | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
look at spending power is to look at the percentage of workers in | :09:07. | :09:17. | |
managerial jobs. Plymouth's figure Plymouth is about to go upmarket | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
for food with restaurants coming soon from cue from the wedding | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
store and Gary Rhodes. Shopping developments are thin on the ground. | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
For Rowe enjoys a number of well- known names you do not find in | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
Plymouth. It does not expect to poach shoppers but this is the big | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
fish in Cornwall's ritual pond. Somewhere else used to be, and not | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
that long ago. That is where the Cornish shark -- went to, red brick. | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
For a row was the place to avoid. There were some beautiful regional | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
shops in Redruth and that was the place to go. Truro's dominance was | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
helped by the decline of 10. -- 10. Three cities that have carved out | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
their own niche. Day-to-day the sense of competition is not huge | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
but the fact remains that at the moment it is the changing face of | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
shopping in Exeter that is most striking. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Nearly the half the region's MPs have told the BBC they will defy a | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
three-line whip from their party leaders this evening and vote for a | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
referendum on whether Britain should leave the European Union. | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
Our Political Editor Martyn Oates joins me now. This is a significant | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
number of MPs? Yes, because it is an issue that has torn the | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
Conservative Party apart. In the past, David Cameron's leadership | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
seems to have stopped the infighting but it seems to be back | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
with a vengeance. We have heard white one of our MPs is voting for | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
a referendum. In his time to give people their say. The trade | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
agreement we signed up to has changed dramatically and we have | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
lost more and more powers. We are no longer really a sovereign state | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
in my view and in the view of many colleagues. It is time to get that | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
back. A on the other hand, he is another Conservative MP voting | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
against the referendum. Now it is not the right time to do this. We | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
need to eat have a specific issue which cannot just be on the general | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
feeling of we need to pull out now or we need to stay. The prominence | :11:42. | :11:52. | |
:11:52. | :11:54. | ||
of new MPs is quite striking here. That this is a decade old issue. | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
The majority of these rebels looked like they are from the new intake | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
and it suggests that this issue has been given a powerful lease of life. | :12:03. | :12:13. | |
That is potentially the big problem for a David Cameron. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
A primary school in Dorset has been severely damaged in a fire. The | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
blaze at Powerstock Primary near Bridport gutted the oldest part of | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
the building and has left staff and the community devastated. An | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
electrical fault has been blamed. Our Dorset reporter Simon Clemison | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
has the story. They conferred each other because | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
it is a time of great loss. -- comfort. Parents and grandparents | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
of children at this group were also taught in this classroom. There is | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
little of it left. Gutted, absolutely gutted. I cannot believe | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
it has happened. The fire crews salvage what they can. They have | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
had to pump water from a stream as there is no mains supply. We have | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
protected both sides of the property. There has been minimal | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
damage. The crew has got to be complimented for that. This is a | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
small school but a big part of life here. It serves as surrounding | :13:14. | :13:23. | |
villages as well. There was no one in the building. Everybody was safe. | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
Because it is half-term? That is the biggest relief, everybody is | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
safer. Built by the Victorians are from the leftovers of a nearby | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
church and once saved from closure, this school has a history of | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
reinventing itself and everyone is confident it can do the same again. | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
The Tamar Bridge is 50 years old today. It was six o'clock in the | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
morning on the 24th of October 1961 when the new bridge was opened to | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
traffic and pedestrians for the first time. No government money was | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
available to build the bridge so the project was jointly funded by | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Cornwall County Council and Plymouth City Council. David George | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
has been looking into the archives, meeting some of the people who were | :14:04. | :14:14. | |
:14:14. | :14:18. | ||
there, and seeing how the 50-year- old bridge is looked after. | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
From Plymouth, a carriage way to Cornwall as an extension of the A38. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
It all looks so clean and shiny. A lot of memories for a lot of people, | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
including Bob Reid, who was on the last ferry crossing from Saltash. - | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
- Ottery. It was like New Year's Eve. There were people playing | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
accordions. There were handbell ringers, fireworks, and we went | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
across the river. The next morning at 6 o'clock, in the pouring rain, | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
we walked over the Tamar Bridge. There were crowds of people there | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
all wanting to be the first to cross. I can't say I was first, but | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
one of the first. The Tamar Bridge took shape. A feat of engineering | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
of which to be proud. The bid had taken two years to build and cost | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
�1.8 million and the lives of seven work men. Five drowned when their | :15:18. | :15:27. | |
boat sank. The 1,100 ft span was the longest in Britain. 50 years | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
later, every inch is inspected every three months. You can feel | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
every vehicle passing above. We are on the inspection walkway. This is | :15:38. | :15:47. | |
100 ft above the river. It makes you want to hang on. And there are | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
130 ft to climb to get to the very top. This is it, seven ladders, 142 | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
steps. It is only when you get here... Neck at that! That you get | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
the view. Driving across the Tamar Bridge every day, you can easily | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
take it for granted. It is only from appear that you realise what | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
an amazing amount of skill went into building it. You get a feel | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
for the Engineering involved, will be cables do. The biggest load went | :16:23. | :16:33. | |
over last year, a 300 town transformed her. -- 300 it can | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
transform. The structure behaved as it should. This is definitely not a | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
job for me! You have obviously got a good job for heights -- good head | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
for heights. The you ever get bored? No, this is not something | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
people get to see very often and I am lucky. When it opened, 4,000 | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
cars a day made the crossing. Today, the widened and strengthened bridge | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
carries 50,000 cars a day. Those signs were put up to mark the 25th | :17:11. | :17:20. | |
anniversary. One day, my wife was waiting for me and when I returned, | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
she said why hasn't the day it signed been put on the Tamar Bridge. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
I said, I am sure Brunel didn't put the sign on himself, and it was put | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
on afterwards. But she made the point and it was a good one. What | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
made you proud to think that was your wife's idea? I am sure someone | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
else would have been bound to thought of it. It could not have | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
gone without it now that you see it. These days 35 staff operate the | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
bridge and the Toba. -- Tolbooth. They say around 60% of drivers | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
choose to pay using the eighth -- electronic tagging system. It was | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
four and sixpence when the bridge opened 50 years ago. Happy 50th | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
:18:23. | :18:33. | ||
birthday, Tamar Bridge. It is a tribute to Britain's engineers... | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
It's time for the Monday sport and reflecting on a busy weekend, | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
here's Dave. The weekends rugby saw Exeter | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
Chiefs taste defeat for the first time in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, when | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
they took a 43-20 defeat on the chin at Premiership champions | :18:44. | :18:53. | |
Saracens. The Cornish Pirates have moved up to second in the | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Championship after coming back to beat bottom side Esher in Penzance. | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
From 18-17 behind at the interval, the Pirates moved into top gear, | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
scoring another 17 points without reply, including two for wing David | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
Doherty. Plymouth Albion matched Leeds for | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
the number of tries scored at Headingley on Sunday, going over | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
three times. But they still lost 28-23, though they did pick up a | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
losing bonus point. As a consequence, Albion slip into the | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
bottom four. It's a familiar story for South | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
West football this weekend. Only Exeter City had something to shout | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
about as Yeovil Town, Torquay United and Plymouth Argyle all sank | :19:33. | :19:43. | |
:19:43. | :19:44. | ||
further into relegation trouble. Before Exeter City beat Rochdale | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
they had found the net on only six occasions, all at St James's Park. | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
From a goal down, the manager rigid a successful recovery path which | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
led to Danny Nardiello profiting twice, his second a penalty. The | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
scoring takes city of the bottom of League One. They are replaced by | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
Yeovil Town who have their goalkeeper to fight for a point at | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
:20:25. | :20:26. | ||
Stevenage. -- goalkeeper to thank. But he could not prevent Yeovil | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
Town from propping up the rest of their rivals. Torquay United are | :20:30. | :20:39. | |
thinking faster than the Titanic in leaked whom -- the two. Eight lost | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
4-1 at Southend. They are now 7th from the bottom without a win in | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
eight games. The first six games we were lying in 4th place and you | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
think things are smooth but now we are in a rut and decisions are not | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
going for us. You can feel the lack of confidence amongst the players | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
at the moment. You just have to get on with it. Five points separate | :21:06. | :21:11. | |

that he pulled down a Guildford Heat player's shorts during their | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
87-83 Trophy win at the Pavilions on Saturday night. The win saw them | :21:35. | :21:42. | |

There were "Happy Days" in Exeter at the weekend as one of the 70s' | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
TV icons was in town promoting books in his new role as a | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
children's author. Henry Winkler, known to his fans as "The Fonz" was | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
at a book signing and as John Ayres reports the crowds turned out in | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
their hundreds. There are books signings and then | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
there are put signings. Happy Days was on the TV 30 years ago but fans | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
of Fonzie have not forgotten him. These days Henry Winkler is a | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
children's offer and has earned an honorary OBE. I have to tell you, I | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
did not know that I was doing work. I fob that I was telling children | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
what I had learned in my life that I wish someone had said to me. That | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
is all I was doing. And then it turned into one of the greatest | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
honours in my entire life outside of the birth of my kids. Youngsters | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
know him for his books, their parents remember Fonzie. Some were | :23:17. | :23:25. | |
keen to meet their childhood idol. I have had a Fonzie mayor for a 37 | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
years. I got him to sign it. Having spent years holding up his thumbs, | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
has Henry had enough? I never get tired of the Fonz. I would not be | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
talking to you without the Fonz. I do not know if I would be able to | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
write these books without the funds. He was the foundation of the rest | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
of my life. The this was the only public signing Henry was doing. He | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
was keen to come here because he did not get to come here during his | :23:55. | :24:05. | |
:24:05. | :24:06. | ||
original tour and it also appears He has barely changed! Let's take a | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
look at the weather. The rain is clearing away but there | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
are heavy showers tonight. It has been quite a wet day for parts of | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
the south-west. It did not stop some people going into the sea. The | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
rain is clearing away. There are showers forecast overnight and for | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
the next couple of days but also dry weather and sunshine to come. | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
After the heavy rain today there are flood alerts for some rivers in | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
the south-west. Live on the environment agency's website or | :24:44. | :24:50. | |

they saw the most rain today. The rain is clearing away. It is making | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
its way north and eastwards. There is still low pressure in charge. | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Tomorrow, at low pressure sending showers across us with a south- | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
westerly breeze. Wednesday has a similar picture with sunshine and | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
showers. We need to watch the low pressure to the south which looks | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
like it could bring us heavy rain on Thursday. You can see the bright | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
flashes of heavy rain earlier on. It has cleared from Cornwall and | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
Devon. There is heavy rain further east. It is clearing quickly but | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
watch out for the showers, Beye could merge into a longer spell of | :26:08. | :26:18. | |
rain. There could be another 20 mm. The wind eases off and the | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
temperatures are not too bad for the time of year. First thing | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
tomorrow morning, a match drier start for many. We should seek | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
sunshine and some showers. There could be sharper downpours but they | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
will be well scattered. A bed of a respite tomorrow after the | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
torrential rain for many today. -- a bit. Still a brisk breeze | :26:45. | :26:55. | |
