:05:07. > :05:11.they want to get back and button- down and get on and do some work.
:05:11. > :05:14.But the regional organiser of the biggest public sector union told me
:05:14. > :05:18.to government's reform of pensions would make them unaffordable for
:05:18. > :05:22.some workers. Our members want to be responsible. They want to save
:05:22. > :05:26.towards their old age so they are not dependent on welfare and they
:05:26. > :05:30.want to be able to continue to manage their family budgets and
:05:30. > :05:37.really they have been left with such an awful choice to make that
:05:37. > :05:39.it is not fair on them. The unions expect Wednesday to be the biggest
:05:39. > :05:44.strike since the "Winter of Discontent" but the government say
:05:44. > :05:47.current public sector pensions are unaffordable and must be reformed.
:05:47. > :05:52.Ministers have told the BBC there will be no further concessions on
:05:52. > :05:56.pensions because of the urgent need to reduce the budget deficit. The
:05:56. > :06:04.unions appear in no mood to back down. Wednesday's strike action may
:06:04. > :06:07.then be just the beginning. The our political editor Martyn
:06:07. > :06:11.Oates has been following the story and joins me. Is there any
:06:11. > :06:14.likelihood of Wednesday's strike being called off? That has looked
:06:14. > :06:18.very unlikely for months now and even more so at the moment. The
:06:18. > :06:21.government did make some concessions recently and they have
:06:21. > :06:25.told the unions that is as good as it gets and that deal might be
:06:25. > :06:28.removed if it is not taken up. But that has still left the basic
:06:28. > :06:32.requirement for people in public sector pension schemes to pay more
:06:32. > :06:36.in contributions and to work for longer. As we heard in the report,
:06:36. > :06:38.people affected feel very strongly about it but beyond that there is a
:06:38. > :06:42.fundamental disagreement as to whether the government really needs
:06:42. > :06:45.to do this. The government says the present system is unsustainable.
:06:45. > :06:49.The unions' point to the teachers' pension scheme and sake just a few
:06:49. > :06:51.years ago the National Audit Office gave it a clean bill of health and
:06:51. > :06:54.say it was sustainable and they also accuse the government of
:06:54. > :06:58.making public sector workers' pay with their pensions for the mess
:06:58. > :07:03.the banks have got the financial system into. It seems the
:07:03. > :07:06.government is hardening its stance was the unions. Yes, ministers are
:07:06. > :07:13.condemning the would be strike in no uncertain terms and saying that

:08:12. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:16.for review. Adrian Campbell reports. The company wants to build this
:08:16. > :08:18.energy waste incinerator at St Dennis with the help of an �80

:08:22. > :08:25.place for five years but there have been delays with planning disputes
:08:25. > :08:29.and the Bank wants to review its loan by the end of December. The
:08:29. > :08:32.company has said if the bank does withdraw its loan to end the
:08:32. > :08:37.current state of the financial markets means they could be an
:08:37. > :08:41.extra cost to the council and its tax payers �23 million over the

:09:00. > :09:04.hope that the European Investment Bank actually pulls the plug on
:09:04. > :09:07.this �80 million and forces Cornwall Council and the company to
:09:07. > :09:10.go back to the drawing board. I have always been clear that
:09:10. > :09:14.incineration is not the right answer for the problems of waste in
:09:14. > :09:19.Cornwall. St Dennis is not the right place and one single site to
:09:19. > :09:21.serve off Cornwall's waste is not the right solution in principle.
:09:21. > :09:26.Cornwall council says it hopes the European Investment Bank will
:09:26. > :09:29.continue to offer that lone despite the delays. The company says of the
:09:29. > :09:34.incinerator does not go ahead it could be eight years before an
:09:34. > :09:38.alternative is in place but others think that is debatable. I have had
:09:38. > :09:41.people say to me, people who want to exaggerate one way say ten years,
:09:41. > :09:46.I have had people who say they are optimistic and it will take three
:09:46. > :09:50.or four years. It depends how quickly the Government brings

:09:54. > :09:59.who have campaigned against an Energy from Waste Land, hope things
:09:59. > :10:05.are moving their way. As I see it now the Court of Appeal will have a

:19:47. > :19:54.training young cadets at Gravesend. But he never sent away for the
:19:54. > :20:01.medals he was entitled to. The Navy and the army, it is all different
:20:01. > :20:07.when they come out straight from service into civvy street. I worked
:20:07. > :20:12.into that gradually. I was not a serviceman at all. You did not
:20:13. > :20:17.think about medals and things like that. Victor was helped by staff
:20:17. > :20:27.from the starting point service, run by Plymouth Age Concern. I was
:20:27. > :20:29.
:20:29. > :20:37.very pleased. It is very nice. I do not think that I would have get
:20:37. > :20:42.this. Now, Victor has put the memories as well as the medals.
:20:42. > :20:46.Football, now... Exeter City became the second South West club to be
:20:46. > :20:49.eliminated from the FA Cup in 24 hours. Last night they went out 3-2
:20:49. > :20:52.at Walsall in a first round replay. Despite Richard Logan giving City
:20:52. > :20:55.the lead late in the first half, Walsall overturned that to go 2-1
:20:55. > :21:00.in front. Exeter substitute Elliot Frear forced extra time with an
:21:00. > :21:06.equaliser near the end. But the Midlands team grabbed what proved
:21:06. > :21:08.to be the winner eight minutes into the extra period. The Christmas
:21:08. > :21:13.lights have already started to be switched on. Tonight it's happening
:21:13. > :21:17.in Exeter. And another great South West festive tradition is just
:21:17. > :21:24.about complete. Johnny Rutherford has been to visit Cothele House,
:21:24. > :21:29.where the famous garland is going on display. Final preparations for
:21:29. > :21:34.a grand Christmas atmosphere in the Great Hall. Not a hint of tinsel to
:21:34. > :21:40.be seen. Instead, a 60 ft Garnant in fitting with the Tudor
:21:40. > :21:45.surroundings. Christmas trees were not around back then. In that time,
:21:45. > :21:53.the hall would have been cut from green foliage from the estate.
:21:53. > :21:57.Conifers and traditional plants and now, we have greedily with around
:21:57. > :22:03.30,000 flowers, dried from the garden. The National Trust have
:22:03. > :22:09.been making Christmas gardens at the house for over 50 years.
:22:09. > :22:13.those were never... Into this space? The yellow ones? This year,
:22:13. > :22:19.they have allowed visitors to join in, if they are willing to climb
:22:19. > :22:25.the scaffolding. It is remarkable, the way it is made. We are
:22:25. > :22:29.remarkably using very thin cord and wants all of the bunches are put
:22:29. > :22:37.around, and then we put in those individual flowers, and I climbed
:22:37. > :22:40.up. I and 82 years old and I am glad I can still do this! Tomorrow,
:22:41. > :22:46.the garment get its final touches and will be on display until New
:22:46. > :22:54.Year's Eve. It has taken two weeks of concentration to create. We have
:22:54. > :22:59.to put them in in strict order. We work through different grasses. And
:22:59. > :23:05.we finish off with these long, slender ones. It would be a shame
:23:05. > :23:13.to not join in so on behalf of BBC Spotlight, as they say, this is one
:23:13. > :23:19.be prepared earlier. Thank goodness he did dot bring that crashing
:23:19. > :23:29.down! Can you imagine that?! Such a spectacular piece of work.
:23:29. > :23:33.
:23:33. > :23:37.Christmas is still one month away. You Love Christmas! Good evening.
:23:37. > :23:43.We have some rain in the forecast tonight but it is still relatively
:23:43. > :23:48.mild. I cannot see any cold weather as far ahead. Some rain tonight,
:23:48. > :23:53.that is coming in now and quite breezy overnight. Not as cold as it
:23:53. > :23:59.has been. Temperatures holding up at seven or eight degrees. This
:23:59. > :24:02.cloud has been brought in by this big circle. That is a very vigorous
:24:02. > :24:10.area of low pressure, giving problems to the north-west of
:24:10. > :24:13.Scotland. It is a very deep area. The weather fund, for the south, is
:24:13. > :24:19.much bigger and there is a strength of wind tonight but moving through
:24:19. > :24:22.fairly fast by midday tomorrow. We have some showers following on
:24:22. > :24:28.behind and into the weekend, another with a system and that will
:24:28. > :24:32.bring us some rain later on in Saturday night. Until then, a lot
:24:32. > :24:37.of dry weather and are seen as the rain welcome during the night. He
:24:37. > :24:42.read his, coming across Ireland and then to the north-west of Wales.
:24:42. > :24:48.Earlier today, we did have some hazy sunshine. This was Plymouth
:24:48. > :24:51.Hoe. Colin was enjoying some drier weather. The breeze has been
:24:51. > :24:57.picking up. And that breeze is still keeping temperatures
:24:57. > :25:05.relatively mild at 13 and 14 degrees. This season has not got
:25:05. > :25:09.going yet. But the seas will put up tonight. And as the rain and cloud
:25:09. > :25:13.moves through, Plymouth Sound will be one of the most sheltered places
:25:13. > :25:17.with the wind coming from a different direction. Some light
:25:17. > :25:21.rain he ran there initially and for a time, some moderate bursts as
:25:21. > :25:26.this front clears away. And by the end of the night, it is gone for
:25:26. > :25:32.all of us. We wake up to a fine start. Especially across Cornwall
:25:32. > :25:37.and Devon. Still the risk of early showers along Dorset. For the rest
:25:37. > :25:42.of us, fine and a fresher feel. Temperatures as low as seven or
:25:42. > :25:46.eight degrees. Tomorrow, a fine start with plenty of sunshine, more
:25:46. > :25:50.cloud from the north-west. That happens later but it will produce
:25:50. > :25:53.some showers by the end of the afternoon. They will be fleeting
:25:53. > :25:58.and fairly isolated but generally more cloud towards the early
:25:58. > :26:03.evening. Temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 12 degrees.
:26:03. > :26:06.Abri is making it feel colder from the west and north-west and for the
:26:06. > :26:16.Isles of Scilly, quite blustery. The wind easing through the
:26:16. > :26:19.
:26:19. > :26:23.afternoon. The times of the high water... Some big waves for the
:26:24. > :26:30.surfers. This low pressure is up to the north and it is starting to
:26:30. > :26:38.produce some sizeable waves. Choppy but sizeable. Six or seven or eight
:26:38. > :26:43.feet. The south coast having the cleanest, up to five or six feet.
:26:43. > :26:50.Really good conditions. The coastal waters, the windows from the west
:26:50. > :26:56.and north-west. -- the wind is from the West. And good visibility. The
:26:56. > :27:00.weekend, Saturday, bright and dry. Temperatures up to 13 degrees.
:27:00. > :27:05.Saturday into Sunday, windy conditions and outbreaks of rain.
:27:05. > :27:09.It will be reluctant to clear on Sunday morning but late morning and
:27:09. > :27:12.the afternoon will see this return to sunny skies. 11 degrees and a
:27:12. > :27:18.bright start on Monday, increasingly windy with more wet
:27:18. > :27:23.weather on Monday night. Thank you. The top stories... An ear infection
:27:23. > :27:28.which proved fatal. A coroner asks for a review of NHS procedures
:27:28. > :27:33.after the death of a young father. And contingency plans underway
