:00:20. > :00:22.has been reached today, but a Barrister has told Spotlight it
:00:22. > :00:26.could still go to court. Also tonight The sweet smell of

:00:45. > :00:48.It has been more than a decade in the planning and has sparked fierce
:00:48. > :00:53.opposition, but today plans for a new town in Devon were finally
:00:53. > :00:56.approved. The development in the Sherford Valley on the eastern edge
:00:56. > :01:00.of Plymouth would include more than five thousand new homes, four new
:01:00. > :01:06.schools and two wind turbines. But a lawyer for objectors is warning
:01:06. > :01:12.it could end up in the courts with a judicial review. Spotlight's
:01:13. > :01:14.Clare Casson has this report. On in the idea of a New Town in the
:01:14. > :01:19.Sherford Valley has always been controversial.
:01:19. > :01:23.Over the years, we have seen protests by local residents and do
:01:23. > :01:28.the plans themselves have changed in response to economic downturn.
:01:28. > :01:32.But today was detained for councillors, who were asked to
:01:32. > :01:37.approve the outlined planning agreement. They voted by a majority
:01:37. > :01:41.of 15-seven in favour. I am pleased for the communities in
:01:41. > :01:44.the region. At the end of the day, this will deliver much-needed
:01:44. > :01:50.affordable housing and commuting facilities for those who really
:01:50. > :01:54.need it. That work could start here in
:01:54. > :01:59.Sherford Valley in the next 18 months. The developers want to
:01:59. > :02:03.build around 5,500 new houses, along with schools and a sports
:02:03. > :02:07.centre. Objectors still are not happy. They argue that will not
:02:07. > :02:11.form a real community and say there are not enough affordable homes.
:02:11. > :02:13.death this development was about providing affordable housing for
:02:13. > :02:17.local Working families, I would be happy.
:02:17. > :02:22.The truth is, it is not. It is about trying to kick-start the
:02:22. > :02:27.economy and providing second homes, buy-to-let for people to come and
:02:27. > :02:31.retire to. Is it worth digging up our be double countryside for that?
:02:31. > :02:35.I do not think so. And the prospect of a legal battle
:02:35. > :02:39.was also raised in today's meeting following claims there had not been
:02:39. > :02:43.enough consultation as plants changed along the way.
:02:43. > :02:47.There has been a drop in the provision of affordable housing.
:02:47. > :02:53.There has been a lessening of proper transport facilities. There
:02:53. > :02:57.has been a cut in a way of community facilities, and because
:02:57. > :03:02.of all those significant changes that would provide a chance for
:03:02. > :03:06.judicial review, and in my view it would succeed.
:03:06. > :03:10.The district council insists there have been a number of consultations.

:05:23. > :05:26.Production line and packing staff say it has been extremely hard to

:05:36. > :05:38.Back in business and hopefully staying there. A few months ago, it
:05:38. > :05:44.appeared that, after 80 years, suite meetings here was going to be
:05:44. > :05:49.consigned to history. The parent could have gone bust. But after a

:05:51. > :05:57.here 16 years and is glad to be off the dole.
:05:57. > :06:03.It was very difficult to, to be honest. It is a buyer's market,
:06:03. > :06:08.they can pick who they want. Now we are back again, it is brilliant.
:06:08. > :06:11.It has been assailed -- similar story for Gillian, who first came
:06:11. > :06:15.here in 1985. How hard it was at looking for
:06:15. > :06:17.jobs? Very hard, there is nothing out
:06:17. > :06:21.there at all. When you heard this place was

:06:25. > :06:31.Jubilation. I was really pleased to get my job back.
:06:31. > :06:35.At its peak, there were 65 staff employed here walking across two

:06:52. > :06:56.This has always been a good business and it is in a good market,
:06:56. > :07:01.it is things that people want in this climate. We are not expensive
:07:01. > :07:07.and we seek a good opportunity. Unemployment in Crediton may be

:07:17. > :07:21.
:07:21. > :07:25.is still hard to find a job. These people feel lucky.
:07:25. > :07:29.Dorset County Council has announced it is making big cuts to his
:07:29. > :07:33.library budget. A small distance inside Dorset, but
:07:34. > :07:40.a bigger difference. Said to be the county's smallest town, Stowbridge
:07:40. > :07:47.is classic West Country. It has three pubs, a dozen shops and a
:07:47. > :07:55.library funded, but not for much longer, by the council. There are a
:07:55. > :07:59.great many similarities between the two local counties. While
:07:59. > :08:05.campaigners there were unable to take the issue to court to stop
:08:05. > :08:09.library funding been slashed, here it cuts are going ahead. This is a
:08:09. > :08:13.library the County Council will not staff after next summer. Regular
:08:13. > :08:16.users are angry. He I cannot understand what they are doing, I
:08:16. > :08:20.could really cannot. It is such a wonderful amenity to
:08:20. > :08:23.the village. Last month's High Court ruling that
:08:23. > :08:27.stops Somerset and Gloucestershire County Councils from similar cuts
:08:28. > :08:33.gave campaigners hope. Lawyers advised against a similar challenge,
:08:33. > :08:38.to the relief of the County Council. We were not worried. Well, all we
:08:38. > :08:43.were anxious because you never know, finally, what will come out of a
:08:43. > :08:46.judicial review. But we were confident we had gone about it
:08:46. > :08:50.properly. Today, it said the library,
:08:50. > :08:55.supporters gathered. So we have decided to accept the
:08:55. > :08:58.fact we have lost at the challenge, as far as that goes, and try and
:08:58. > :09:03.push on and do our own thing locally.
:09:03. > :09:08.They are being bowled. The town council may take over with
:09:08. > :09:12.volunteers and even expand. There comes a point we have to stop
:09:12. > :09:16.waving placards and find another way of doing it. That is what the
:09:16. > :09:22.town is doing for itself. It is ambitious, but we are not deterred
:09:22. > :09:30.by it. It is a way to save the library. Another satisfied customer.
:09:31. > :09:34.Locals only hope he will still be able to come here when he grows up.
:09:34. > :09:37.Still to come tonight... The Cornish connection with Stalin
:09:37. > :09:39.- how this woman's true identity was kept secret until her death

:09:49. > :09:53.South Hams Council has been given the legal go-ahead to remove
:09:53. > :10:00.protestors from local authority land in Totnes. Supporters of the
:10:00. > :10:02.Occupy Totnes camp pitched up a week ago. Today the County Court

:10:22. > :10:25.environmental organisations in the south west have published a letter
:10:25. > :10:28.strongly critical of the Government. They say the Chancellor's recent
:10:28. > :10:30.Autumn Statement puts conservation under threat with the promise of
:10:30. > :10:35.growth at the expense of the countryside, but the Government
:10:35. > :10:45.insists it is the greenest in history. Our Environment
:10:45. > :10:45.
:10:45. > :10:50.Correspondent, Adrian Campbell, North Devon is typical of the types
:10:50. > :10:52.of specialist Habitat switch South West Wildlife trusts and other
:10:52. > :10:58.environmental organisations have worked hard to protect in recent
:10:58. > :11:02.years. Increasingly, these same people who have been managing all
:11:02. > :11:05.kinds of habitats in the South West say they are disheartened by the
:11:05. > :11:09.Government's plans to promote development. Their lead to
:11:09. > :11:13.concentrate on the recent Autumn Statement by the Chancellor. It
:11:13. > :11:16.talks of ill-conceived planning reforms, and says the Government
:11:16. > :11:20.has run out of date approach that casts regulation and the
:11:20. > :11:24.environment as enemies of growth. In the South West, which trade on
:11:24. > :11:27.the quality of its environment, they say the Government's approach
:11:27. > :11:32.is madness. We value living here because of the
:11:32. > :11:35.quality of the environment. Does it pay to destroy these resources and
:11:35. > :11:39.regard them as getting under way of someone making a quick bit of
:11:39. > :11:42.money? According to the new chief
:11:42. > :11:45.executive of the Devon Wildlife Trust, the South West has
:11:45. > :11:50.internationally important sites which must be protected.
:11:50. > :11:55.What we see on this map here it is the very best of the best wildlife
:11:55. > :12:00.sites. It is the equivalent of Exeter Cathedral, Stonehenge,
:12:00. > :12:05.Windsor Castle. These are our best sites. The Government is proposing
:12:05. > :12:08.to substantially weaken or even remove the protection of these
:12:08. > :12:12.sites. The letter has the overwhelming
:12:12. > :12:15.support of all the main wildlife organisations in the South West.
:12:15. > :12:21.The RSPB says the bill that has to take place, but it should be
:12:21. > :12:25.controlled. There is this contention that the
:12:25. > :12:30.environment get in the way of the economy and that has wild the
:12:30. > :12:33.conservation of wind. The Government says it has an
:12:33. > :12:37.excellent record on environmental matters.
:12:37. > :12:41.We will be judged on our actions, and I think this Chancellor will
:12:41. > :12:47.prove to be one of the greenest we have had for a great many years,
:12:47. > :12:50.one who has put money into green actions, but also nature being
:12:50. > :12:54.valued at the heart of what Government seeks to do. That puts
:12:54. > :12:58.us ahead of many other countries around the world.
:12:58. > :13:02.Those comments are unlikely to satisfy campaigners. Their letter,
:13:02. > :13:05.which has been widely published, makes a direct appeal for
:13:05. > :13:09.sustainable economic policies without destroying all but millions
:13:09. > :13:11.hold dear. It has been revealed that the
:13:11. > :13:15.daughter of the Russian leader Josef Stalin, moved to a remote
:13:15. > :13:19.village in Cornwall in an attempt to escape the eyes of world and the
:13:19. > :13:22.press. Svetlana Stalin was taken in by a charity which ran a home in
:13:22. > :13:26.the village of Mullion. Only a handful of people in the village
:13:26. > :13:29.knew her true identity. Svetlana, who was known as Lana Peters during
:13:29. > :13:38.the latter part of her life, died last month. Eleanor Parkinson
:13:38. > :13:44.reports. Svetlana rain was born in Russia in
:13:44. > :13:51.1926. -- Svetlana Stalin. She was the only dog daughter of one of
:13:51. > :13:56.history's most famous figures, Josef Stalin. This was her home for
:13:56. > :14:01.several months in 1997, a house run by a charity for older people.
:14:01. > :14:11.Svetlana Stalin defected from Russia in the 1960s. This is her at
:14:11. > :14:12.
:14:12. > :14:15.a press conference. If I'd love this country and his
:14:15. > :14:19.country will love me, the marriage will be settled, but I cannot say
:14:19. > :14:23.nowt. She did settle. During her later
:14:23. > :14:27.years she sought seclusion and this may have led to her decision to
:14:27. > :14:37.come here. One of the only people who knew she was in Cornwall was
:14:37. > :14:41.
:14:41. > :14:44.this man, the village's doctorate Geoff would go. -- Geoff Wood.
:14:44. > :14:47.She wanted to get away from the publicity.
:14:47. > :14:51.She did not get away, eventually, did she?
:14:51. > :14:57.That is right, her secret was broken and the press started
:14:57. > :15:02.publishing pictures and hounding her and she left us and went off. I
:15:02. > :15:06.think she was quite happy here. Although Svetlana was in her
:15:06. > :15:13.seventies, she was said to be in good health. She could often be
:15:13. > :15:20.seen walking the Cornish cliffs around the village dressed in a "--

:15:40. > :15:44.An amazing story. Devon athlete Jo Pavey is hoping
:15:44. > :15:47.the latest 3D technology will give her the edge in the run up to the
:15:47. > :15:50.2012 Olympics in London. As Jeremy Stern reports Jo has been monitored
:15:50. > :15:57.by scientists in Oxford who have used the 3D images to study her
:15:57. > :16:01.running technique. This is Jo Pavey. She is one of the
:16:01. > :16:08.best distance runners in the country. She has already competed
:16:08. > :16:11.in three Olympic Games. A Home Olympics is a massive
:16:11. > :16:17.opportunity not many athletes get in their career, so I hope I can be
:16:17. > :16:21.there for so. Jo Pavey is hoping 3D technology
:16:21. > :16:25.will give her the edge. There are 12 cameras in the room and they are
:16:25. > :16:29.taking hundreds of images every second of Harrow running. All we
:16:29. > :16:32.hear they monitor the information. They are building up a picture of
:16:32. > :16:36.how her bones and joints are working. From this, they can
:16:36. > :16:39.understand more about her running style.
:16:39. > :16:43.Researchers from Oxford University have spent one year of developing
:16:43. > :16:47.the system. There is no point in looking into
:16:47. > :16:51.dimensional -- two dimensions, because the body moves in three
:16:51. > :16:57.dimensions. Here we look at the rotations of the body, which you
:16:57. > :17:03.would not even consider these movements in two dimensions.
:17:03. > :17:08.I felt that the right was good... Are Jo Pavey found out why she was
:17:08. > :17:11.struggling with a foot injuries. Never before in her 20 year career
:17:11. > :17:14.has a technique been analysed in such detail.
:17:14. > :17:18.To have all these markers picked up with infra-red imaging, seeing
:17:18. > :17:25.yourself as a stick man and all the movement going on and it is so
:17:26. > :17:30.accurate, it is amazing. The creators say it is not just for
:17:30. > :17:35.elite athletes, but for all runners. In the future there will be systems
:17:35. > :17:39.for golfers, cyclists and runners. It is time now to take a look at
:17:39. > :17:43.the second of our unsung sporting heros. Dave Desforges is the master
:17:43. > :17:46.of the South Hams Tae Kwondo Club. He gives up hours of his free time

:17:58. > :17:59.
:17:59. > :18:04.Don't get on the wrong side of these men. Joking aside, this Tae
:18:04. > :18:07.Kwondo is only a small organisation, but has a habit of coming out
:18:07. > :18:11.competitors at international level. At the heart of it is Dave
:18:11. > :18:16.Desforges, who wanted an activity to share with his family.
:18:16. > :18:21.As a family it is something we could all do and all did do. My son
:18:21. > :18:26.and daughter were in here tonight training. My wife used to do it.
:18:26. > :18:30.She has stopped, but at the three of us kept going.
:18:30. > :18:37.Four nights a week to his club wit -- club-mate, and it is a lot of
:18:37. > :18:41.work. That is a more competitive sport and Dave's students love it.
:18:41. > :18:44.Where we are feeling a little down and not into it he get us going,
:18:44. > :18:48.always makes me want to come training.
:18:48. > :18:54.He is a friend and coach, so he has been really supportive of me and my
:18:54. > :18:58.Tae Kwondo and what I do. Four of his students are the
:18:58. > :19:02.current national champions. Dave travels all over Europe at his own
:19:02. > :19:06.expense to support him. He was nominated by Andrew Bradley, who

:19:09. > :19:13.When she first came here she was notched doing her best that
:19:13. > :19:18.competition, now she is a national champion and has competed for Great
:19:18. > :19:22.Britain. He us all -- is obviously doing a fantastic job.
:19:22. > :19:25.It is great to think that the people I am putting a lot of effort
:19:25. > :19:30.into appreciate what I am doing, and I can see that without a doubt.
:19:30. > :19:35.I can see that in the way the train, as well, the way they follow it up
:19:35. > :19:39.going abroad. It is not just mean, really.
:19:39. > :19:42.Dave is unpaid and his club doesn't make money. He plays all -- pays
:19:42. > :19:45.for all this trouble himself, no mean feat when you students have
:19:45. > :19:49.competed in Europe are six times this year alone.
:19:49. > :19:52.Now Christmas is a time that often prompts some high-jinx at work, and
:19:52. > :19:54.this year is proving no different. HMS Ocean is due home from

:19:57. > :20:01.decided to create their very own festive message for family and
:20:01. > :20:04.friends. Little did they know their film would go global. Earlier this
:20:04. > :20:12.afternoon we were joined by the person behind the camera, to hear
:20:12. > :20:15.how it came about, but first let's # I don't want a lot for
:20:15. > :20:23.# I don't want a lot for Christmas...
:20:23. > :20:30.# There is just one thing I need... # I don't care about the presents...
:20:30. > :20:40.# Underneath the Christmas tree. # I just want you for my own...
:20:40. > :20:41.
:20:41. > :20:51.# More than you could ever know... # Make my wish come true...
:20:51. > :21:03.
:21:04. > :21:08.# All I want for Christmas... Kelly, it is fantastic and has
:21:08. > :21:11.caused a lot of amusement here today. How did the idea, about?
:21:12. > :21:15.We thought about doing a video for a few weeks before we got the news
:21:15. > :21:18.we were going home for Christmas. A few days before we started at we
:21:19. > :21:23.were given the news by the cat and the ship would be home for
:21:23. > :21:27.Christmas, so a Christmas song seemed the most appropriate. Mariah
:21:28. > :21:31.Carey got the vote. It all looked very hi-tech, these
:21:31. > :21:36.videos take a long time to do, usually. How did you achieve it and
:21:36. > :21:41.how long did it take you? We did well whole thing in three
:21:41. > :21:46.days, two days to film it and one data edited. I broke the sun --
:21:46. > :21:52.song down to its individual lines. I e-mailed it to the guys in my
:21:52. > :21:55.department and they chose, coming up with the costumes and where they
:21:55. > :21:59.wanted to be filmed. Looking at it, it does not look
:21:59. > :22:04.like they had to have their arms twisted!
:22:04. > :22:07.When I first put the idea to them they thought I wanted them to sing,
:22:08. > :22:10.but then I had to tell them they would be mining over the top. As
:22:10. > :22:15.soon as I told him that they were quite happy.
:22:15. > :22:18.This must have really boosted morale, because it was supposed to
:22:18. > :22:23.have been a seven-week deployment and turned into seven-and-a-half
:22:23. > :22:28.months? Yes, it was to boost morale, cheer
:22:28. > :22:32.the guys up and give them a diversion. It has also acted nicely
:22:32. > :22:36.as a little Christmas card to send home to their family.
:22:36. > :22:41.Ian on deployment is serious business, and they may be some who
:22:41. > :22:45.would look at that think -- and think you were up on seven months
:22:45. > :22:48.of having fun. What kind of permission did you need to get
:22:48. > :22:56.this? It has all been cleared, the
:22:56. > :23:01.captain and my boss or paid at the video when I had finished it.
:23:01. > :23:05.-- my boss said it was OK. Added released all that tension, as
:23:05. > :23:08.you said. Absolutely, it was a good way to
:23:08. > :23:11.have fun, despite everything they have been through the have a sense
:23:11. > :23:13.of humour. In the middle of the high seas
:23:13. > :23:17.doing this it must have been hilarious.
:23:17. > :23:21.It was brilliant fun. Some people watching us wondered what we were
:23:21. > :23:22.doing, and it was not till they saw the video the understood why we had
:23:22. > :23:27.been running around in cardboard boxes.
:23:27. > :23:33.I do have had reaction from Mariah Carey herself?
:23:33. > :23:36.Yes, she tweeted us and gave us her Christmas wishes.
:23:36. > :23:46.We watch the superb finale to the video now.
:23:46. > :24:24.
:24:24. > :24:27.# Baby, all I want for Christmas... I loved the block in the bath the
:24:27. > :24:34.best. It is so funny, have a look online,
:24:34. > :24:38.do a search for HMS Ocean and their Christmas video.
:24:38. > :24:42.They did not have videos like that They did not have videos like that
:24:42. > :24:51.when I was in the Navy. Good evening. We have some fairly
:24:51. > :24:56.rough weather and a very blustery day tomorrow with gusts of wind up
:24:56. > :25:01.to 60 mph it possible. Windy and milder, the temperatures getting up
:25:01. > :25:08.to 13 Celsius, unusually mild for this month, then a big drop as the
:25:08. > :25:12.band of rain clears. This is a vigorous area of low
:25:12. > :25:17.pressure ahead into the north-west of Scotland. We are between systems,
:25:17. > :25:23.so it will Chauhan chilly tonight. The cloud comes in and this shows
:25:23. > :25:27.us how windy it will be. Lots of isobars, right across Britain. A

:25:47. > :25:52.figures before it becomes milder it later in the night. This was area
:25:52. > :25:55.today where our cameraman caught some sunshine. When we got out of
:25:55. > :26:00.the breeze with some sunshine it was quite pleasant. There have been
:26:00. > :26:06.some sharp showers, and there will be more of those briefly this
:26:06. > :26:13.evening before they all fade away and the sky is clear. Then it
:26:13. > :26:17.clouds over and we will see some patchy, light rain. Tomorrow it
:26:17. > :26:22.will be blustery. A few showers overnight tonight, then perhaps
:26:22. > :26:26.some drizzle and low cloud by the end of the night. Winds continuing
:26:26. > :26:33.to freshen up, and after ran initial drop of temperatures down

:27:12. > :27:22.up the seas. Dangerous conditions on some of our beaches for the next
:27:22. > :27:26.24 hours. A little bit quieter for Friday, and quieter into the
:27:26. > :27:32.weekend. Look at the drop in temperatures - Saturday just five
