:00:15. > :00:18.Plymouth. Good evening. We'll be live at Bickleigh Barracks as final
:00:18. > :00:21.preparations are made for their return. Also tonight - surrounded

:00:43. > :00:47.happen to a conservation area by the Coast and Countryside Trust, I
:00:47. > :00:55.would say to everybody in Torbay, who is next? And the unusual
:00:55. > :00:58.weather events captured on camera by Spotlight viewers. 100 Royal
:00:58. > :01:01.Marines from the south west return home tonight after serving on the
:01:01. > :01:05.front line in Afghanistan. It's a homecoming tinged with sadness
:01:05. > :01:13.because 42 Commando, based at Bickleigh, have lost seven men.
:01:13. > :01:17.Spotlight's Simon Hall is at Bickleigh tonight. I have been
:01:17. > :01:22.speaking to some officers this afternoon and there is a sense of
:01:22. > :01:27.pride about what they have achieved in Afghanistan. But also a sense of
:01:27. > :01:34.sadness for the men who will not be coming home tonight. Here at the
:01:34. > :01:39.barracks, a tribute to the seven people who fell in the line of duty.
:01:39. > :01:41.It was April when members of 42 Commando left BECTU for their third
:01:41. > :01:47.tour in Afghanistan. With the Marines taking command of a
:01:47. > :01:51.district in Helmand Province. Their remit was to help train the Afghan
:01:51. > :01:55.national army and police to take control of security in the region.
:01:55. > :02:00.But just one month into the tour, the unit suffered its first
:02:00. > :02:05.fatality when Nigel Mead was killed by a bomb. He was to be one of
:02:05. > :02:11.seven men to lose their lives during the tour. The others were
:02:11. > :02:14.Samuel Alexander from Plymouth, Lieutenant Oliver August and, Lance
:02:14. > :02:22.Corporal Martin Gill, Marine James Wright from Weymouth, Sergeant
:02:22. > :02:25.Barry Weston and marine David Fairbrother. Their commanding
:02:26. > :02:33.officer said the deaths were a sad reminder of the daily dangers the
:02:33. > :02:37.unit faced. For those returning after six months, there will be a
:02:37. > :02:47.sense of relief but with the insurgency in Afghanistan ongoing,
:02:47. > :02:47.
:02:48. > :02:52.the role of the south-west Marines might be far from over. We area's
:02:52. > :02:55.boat to the commanding officer and asked him about the work the
:02:55. > :03:00.Marines have been doing in Afghanistan and also about
:03:00. > :03:05.tonight's homecoming. The first thing is there will be excitement
:03:05. > :03:08.tonight for the men returning and the families who will be relieved
:03:08. > :03:13.to have them back. Tinged with sadness because there will be some
:03:13. > :03:15.people not be turning but the overarching message is we had done
:03:15. > :03:20.seven months of good work and we are all excited about be turning
:03:20. > :03:25.back. There is always risky in what they do and this is something we
:03:25. > :03:29.have talked about before redeployed and have cancelled the families in
:03:29. > :03:34.the UK all the way through and anyone who has been involved in an
:03:34. > :03:44.incident with casualties have been looked after by the Royal Navy and
:03:44. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:49.the UK forces. The Colonel's be keen to us. The men are due back in
:03:49. > :03:54.four hours. -- speaking to us. Many families and friends will be there
:03:54. > :04:01.to greet them when they return. We will be there and there will be
:04:01. > :04:03.more on the homecoming live at 10:25pm. Thank you. Meanwhile, the
:04:03. > :04:05.latest batch of Royal Marine officers are already preparing for
:04:05. > :04:08.their first deployment to Afghanistan. The 36 recruits are
:04:08. > :04:10.nearing the end of 15 months of basic training at the Commando
:04:10. > :04:17.Training Centre at Lympstone. Spotlight's defence reporter, Scott
:04:17. > :04:20.Bingham, caught up with them. It isn't every day you see Royal
:04:20. > :04:26.Marines on patrol in Devon. This training exercise is about learning
:04:26. > :04:31.to work closely with the community, be that in Afghanistan or here in
:04:31. > :04:36.the village of Launceston. It is relatively unusual and there has
:04:36. > :04:41.been interest from the locals, the local emergency services have been
:04:41. > :04:45.very keen to support us and we have seen the police and the fire
:04:45. > :04:49.brigade and even had a visit from the Marines, who are keen to
:04:49. > :04:53.understand what best practice be using. For the officers it makes a
:04:53. > :04:58.change from the controlled environment of military training.
:04:58. > :05:02.It is out of what we normally do in training but it is great practice
:05:02. > :05:08.because with the current The Archers, it is realistic to what we
:05:08. > :05:15.do. It is extremely different, patrolling Dartmoor and Wales, but
:05:15. > :05:19.it is very useful. The local people seem to appreciate it, too. We like
:05:20. > :05:23.to see them, we feel more confident when they are about. It is great,
:05:23. > :05:29.they should be in the community because they are part of the
:05:29. > :05:33.community. Yes, it is good. We like to see them around. It is excellent.
:05:33. > :05:37.They're giving a good job. It is also an opportunity for the
:05:37. > :05:41.emergency services to get involved and even the US Marine Corps are
:05:41. > :05:45.taking an interest. We're not fortunate enough to have training
:05:45. > :05:52.in the local community like this and we can simulate that on bases
:05:52. > :05:54.and stations but to do it in the town is at a higher level. These
:05:54. > :06:01.officers will pass out in five weeks and will joint operational

:06:08. > :06:13.Residents in a Cornish village are demanding urgent action after their
:06:13. > :06:16.homes were surrounded by sewage. Yesterday's torrential rain caused
:06:16. > :06:18.flooding in Par and residents say the drainage system can't cope. As
:06:18. > :06:27.Eleanor Parkinson reports, it's the fourth time it's happened in four
:06:27. > :06:31.years. The Mrs Evans is used to being flooded. She has only just
:06:31. > :06:34.moved back to her house after it was flooded last November. This is
:06:34. > :06:41.her and her neighbour yesterday. Shovelling Ross sewage away from
:06:41. > :06:46.her back door. These are the manhole covers. What happened.
:06:46. > :06:51.have five of them. Each cover just popped up and and out came the
:06:51. > :06:55.water and the raw sewage. Everything else that was revolting.
:06:55. > :06:58.And it was backing up to the back door. If we had not had shovels and
:06:58. > :07:06.brooms and anything we could get hold of, just to sweep the water
:07:06. > :07:10.away, it would have been in the house. This area is notorious.
:07:10. > :07:16.People have now formed an action group. They say that money needs to
:07:16. > :07:22.be spent on the drains. There are some bottlenecks, which is the best
:07:22. > :07:25.way to describe this and they need urgent work. Some properties in
:07:25. > :07:29.this area have been flooded four times in four years. We apologise
:07:29. > :07:31.to our customers that we did not get here any quicker due to us
:07:31. > :07:37.having other priorities, but I would like to assure our customers
:07:37. > :07:40.that we will offer them every assistance to help tidy up. They
:07:40. > :07:46.have done the tidy up themselves and they want something done about
:07:46. > :07:49.the drains, they say they cannot cope? It is relating to the weather
:07:49. > :07:56.that the experienced and the surface run-off contributed to the
:07:56. > :08:01.sewers being overwhelmed. It is just due to the nature and volume
:08:01. > :08:05.of the rainfall. Some residents have also been offered extra
:08:05. > :08:13.protection for their homes, such as special flood stories. But this
:08:13. > :08:16.work has yet to be done. -- floored doors. The Exeter based airline
:08:16. > :08:18.Flybe is calling on the government for a better deal for UK travelers.
:08:18. > :08:21.At the moment, passengers pay airport duty twice on return
:08:21. > :08:24.flights within the UK while many European countries pay no duty at
:08:24. > :08:33.all. There are fears the charges are discouraging air travelers and
:08:33. > :08:37.could damage the regional economy. Spotlight's Leigh Rundle reports.
:08:37. > :08:42.Travelling with the budget airline could mean forking out more in
:08:42. > :08:46.government tax and you pay for your ticket. Airport passenger duty will
:08:46. > :08:53.cost these customers heading out of Exeter this morning and minimum of
:08:53. > :08:57.�24. It is a hidden charge. Everything these days is text, you
:08:57. > :09:03.would be naive to us saying it would not be like that. It is
:09:03. > :09:08.unfair. Everything is taxed. People were probably put off but it's the
:09:08. > :09:17.only way to travel. You cannot travel from here to Edinburgh by
:09:17. > :09:22.car. It would cost me more than �12. It is disgusting. Very poor. Should
:09:22. > :09:25.the Government lower taxation? Or abolish it. Under the present
:09:25. > :09:30.system, passengers are charged twice on return flights within the
:09:30. > :09:35.UK. But in this into perspective, someone flying from Birmingham to
:09:35. > :09:41.Belfast and back will pay �24 in passenger duty. Recent concessions
:09:41. > :09:47.by the Treasury have cut the tax for long-haul flights from Belfast

:09:58. > :10:01.more tax and Germany and France and Spain, all others. Germany has
:10:01. > :10:07.reduced the tax, like the Republic of Ireland. I would like to see the
:10:07. > :10:11.UK to the same. There is some good news, the tax has been frozen by
:10:11. > :10:15.the Government consults on reform. That will likely include reviewing
:10:15. > :10:23.the banding system and extending duty to private business jets. The
:10:23. > :10:26.results are expected later this year. The Torbay MP Adrian Sanders
:10:26. > :10:29.found himself in the national spotlight last night when he became
:10:29. > :10:32.the only Liberal Democrat MP in the country to defy his party in the
:10:32. > :10:34.Commons vote on Europe. He was joined by six south west
:10:34. > :10:37.Conservatives in voting for a referendum on Britain's membership
:10:37. > :10:46.of the European Union. Spotlight's Political Editor Martyn Oates has
:10:46. > :10:50.been following events in Westminster. As previously
:10:50. > :10:54.advertised, more than one-third of the region's MPs survived a three-
:10:54. > :10:58.line whip and voted against the Government and for a referendum on
:10:58. > :11:06.the UK's relationship with the EU. Last night, most were conservative
:11:06. > :11:13.but the south-west candidate was the only Liberal Democrat rebel.
:11:13. > :11:19.think there were two principles at stake. One is that government
:11:19. > :11:22.should be accountable to Parliament and not the other way around. What
:11:22. > :11:24.was backbench business was taken over by the Government and turned
:11:24. > :11:27.into a three-line whip, which I thought was completely wrong. The
:11:27. > :11:30.other principle is an old liberal principle of trusting people to
:11:30. > :11:34.take decisions that affect their own lines. While Adrian Sanders was
:11:34. > :11:37.making a solo protest, half of the region's Conservative MPs voted
:11:37. > :11:40.against the Government. Most of them were drawn from last year's
:11:40. > :11:45.new intake, which makes it impossible for David Cameron to
:11:45. > :11:48.shrug this off as a last gasp of the old guard. Absent from the
:11:48. > :11:55.ranks was the man who was arguably the most vocal Euro-sceptic MP in
:11:55. > :11:59.the region, George Eustace. He has an eye-catching CV including a
:11:59. > :12:02.stint as David Cameron as press secretary and a candidate for the
:12:03. > :12:06.United Kingdom Independence Party. He was trying to broker a
:12:06. > :12:10.compromise between the rebels and the government in the run-up to the
:12:10. > :12:14.vote. It was based on offering a referendum on the repatriation of
:12:14. > :12:17.specific powers from Brussels to Westminster. The Government
:12:17. > :12:26.rejected that and he had talked about voting against the Government
:12:26. > :12:28.if that happened. In the event, he did not vote at all. A group of
:12:28. > :12:31.residents in Torbay is accusing a conservation charity of hypocrisy
:12:31. > :12:34.over its plans to build new homes in a conservation area. The Torbay
:12:34. > :12:37.Coast and Countryside Trust wants to build luxury homes and a village
:12:37. > :12:44.hall, but the residents of Maidencombe are having none of it.
:12:44. > :12:50.John Ayres has more. It is the quintessential English village with
:12:50. > :12:53.a thatched pub, honesty box and a stunning beach. Like many rural
:12:53. > :12:57.places, residents are not an arms about plans for development but
:12:57. > :13:02.what is unusual is it is a conservation charity that wants to
:13:02. > :13:06.do it. The Countryside Trust is proposing to build a village hall
:13:06. > :13:10.here and for a four-bedroom houses over there. But there is no
:13:10. > :13:14.question about what the locals think. One of the great things
:13:14. > :13:20.about the area is that no one has boiled it and there are not many
:13:20. > :13:25.places like that. You look around and there are no tourist areas, so
:13:25. > :13:31.when I heard they were going to mess it up, I got upset. If this
:13:31. > :13:36.can happen to a conservation area by the Coast and Countryside Trust,
:13:36. > :13:41.who look after many other places in Torbay, I would say to everybody in
:13:41. > :13:46.Torbay, who is next? The Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust is a
:13:46. > :13:50.charity supported by many local people. Including some of the
:13:50. > :13:54.Maiden, residents, who are surprised by the charity's stance.
:13:54. > :13:58.The trust says plans are in keeping an will provide residents with the
:13:58. > :14:03.village hall. It insists that it is sympathetic to the residents'
:14:03. > :14:07.concerns and will seek a compromise. If you look at the old maps, there
:14:07. > :14:11.were structures and dwellings. It isn't totally out of the blue,
:14:11. > :14:16.we're not doing this in the middle of a green field in the wild. There
:14:16. > :14:20.is scope to do something and because it can be balanced, it can
:14:20. > :14:24.enable development to generate other improvements. There is a good
:14:24. > :14:31.case for it. The Trust is meeting with President this evening to
:14:31. > :14:34.discuss their concerns. -- residents. All this week we're
:14:34. > :14:39.looking at the changing fortunes of three south west cities - Truro,
:14:39. > :14:41.Plymouth and Exeter. Tonight, we look at the big changes which have
:14:41. > :14:44.happened in the last few years in local newspapers, radio and
:14:44. > :14:47.television. Exeter may have the up market shopping developments but
:14:47. > :14:54.it's not going up in the world of local news. With tonight's Tale of
:14:54. > :14:59.Three Cities, here's our business correspondent, Neil Gallacher.
:14:59. > :15:02.Still the flagship. The Western morning News internet. The engine
:15:02. > :15:07.room is empty with the printing press up country, and the crew on
:15:07. > :15:11.board is smaller. But this is still resolutely at daily paper which
:15:11. > :15:15.nowadays is saying something. In fact, Planet has two daily papers
:15:15. > :15:20.in the city. Exeter, which likes to style itself the regional capital,
:15:20. > :15:25.no longer has its own daily. The Express and Echo went weekly last
:15:25. > :15:30.month. A change forced by recession and the internet. That is history,
:15:30. > :15:34.according to the editor, who preferred not to be interviewed.
:15:34. > :15:40.This is a numbers game and the Ecole's last circulation as a delay
:15:40. > :15:46.had stood at just 16,500. In Plymouth, twice the size, they
:15:46. > :15:51.hurled it is still delay. It sells just under 30,000. The morning news
:15:51. > :15:54.sells 31,000 across the region. And the editor of the morning news is
:15:54. > :16:01.confident that both papers do not need to go weekly as many smaller
:16:01. > :16:09.circulation dailies have done. Those below about 15,000 each day
:16:09. > :16:12.are now weekly. Because of the reduction in cost, distribution,
:16:12. > :16:19.newsprint, those models become sustainable and we see long-term
:16:19. > :16:22.futures. We are nowhere near that point. That is that... The chairman
:16:22. > :16:27.of this Plymouth radio station says that having daily papers is
:16:27. > :16:32.naturally enough and gives extra cloud to a city that cannot rest on
:16:32. > :16:39.its laurels. We are not as rich as Exeter, we don't have the money
:16:39. > :16:45.around us that Exeter does. We have to work harder. But we do have a
:16:45. > :16:50.critical massive a population. We do have a great central geography
:16:50. > :16:55.for the region. And I think that makes Plymouth and natural centre
:16:55. > :16:59.for the south-west. Plan its role as regional media capital would
:16:59. > :17:03.have been stronger if ITV had not switched the hosting of its
:17:03. > :17:07.regional news programme to Bristol. But there has been no change to the
:17:07. > :17:11.hosting of Spotlight. That role is 50 years old and the head of the
:17:11. > :17:19.BBC here is confident the spotlight will stay, despite recently
:17:19. > :17:21.announced cuts. We will have a 20% bite your budget by 2016. But I can
:17:22. > :17:27.absolutely guarantee that there will be at television news service
:17:27. > :17:32.from the BBC from the city's serve in the wider South West and that
:17:32. > :17:38.goes for radio and on mine. No question. And Plymouth is also home
:17:38. > :17:43.to one of the biggest independent television producers outside London.
:17:43. > :17:48.The founders came out of BBC plumber. And what about Truro?
:17:48. > :17:53.Cornwall has never had a daily paper in the county. Curious, given
:17:53. > :17:57.that when the BBC set up Radio Cornwall, it was a runaway success.
:17:57. > :18:02.The West Briton, their weekly newspaper, is going strong, selling
:18:02. > :18:07.32,000 copies. And the editor knows he isn't saddled with the problems
:18:07. > :18:12.many locals face. They have had to keep putting out a newspaper every
:18:12. > :18:18.day so they have to have a lot of staff and as things have become
:18:18. > :18:23.more difficult, that is more expensive. And it starts to not
:18:23. > :18:29.make so much sense. If you put out a weekly newspaper, we have
:18:29. > :18:33.property, motoring, jobs, all-in- one package. So, it turns out to be
:18:33. > :18:40.a sort of template for the future of small local papers. Not bad for
:18:40. > :18:43.a publication that is 200 years old. And the series continues tomorrow
:18:43. > :18:49.on a health theme, with a look at research work at the Peninsula

:20:10. > :20:12.Dorchester Town. In 1928, she played Test's younger sister in
:20:12. > :20:19.Tess of the D'Urbervilles. She even had a few extra lines created for
:20:19. > :20:29.her. I had to rush across the stage, throw myself into my sister's arms
:20:29. > :20:29.
:20:29. > :20:35.and say, Tess! That was all. He asked me for my script and he rode
:20:35. > :20:42.into a... I am so glad you have come home. And he looked at me and
:20:42. > :20:46.he said, that is better, isn't it? Age did not stop her continuing

:23:56. > :24:01.but in the space of one day, very wet. The streams and rivers are

:25:01. > :25:05.and we are underneath all this lumpy cloud. There have been some
:25:05. > :25:10.clear skies and places, this was earlier at Charlestown in Cornwall.
:25:10. > :25:15.We did have some sunshine, relatively quiet weather. At least
:25:15. > :25:19.people were out and about. And much lighter wind. This was completely
:25:19. > :25:23.different yesterday because of the strength of the wind. Tonight and
:25:23. > :25:33.through tomorrow, the wind will not be overly strong. And the chance
:25:33. > :25:37.for things to come down. And the showers will never be too far away.
:25:37. > :25:40.The low pressure is continuing to dominate with two systems. One to
:25:40. > :25:45.the west of Ireland generating showers and that will move closer
:25:45. > :25:52.over the next 24 hours. But also, this the area of low pressure,
:25:52. > :25:55.quite vigorous, brushing up the western side of Spain and Portugal
:25:55. > :26:00.tomorrow and as this weaker area of low pressure brings in more wet
:26:00. > :26:05.weather on Thursday, it could be quite a wet day. The showers have
:26:05. > :26:09.been quite lively today. They have been moving northwards. Still some
:26:09. > :26:13.heavy downpours. Standing surface spray on faster rates might make
:26:13. > :26:17.for some dangerous driving conditions. Although the showers

:26:31. > :26:36.through the day but largely the showers will die away by the end of
