Killed by a mentally ill man. A critical report says the of parties

could have done more to manage the risks posed by the killer. Good

evening. Stephen Hoskin died in 2006 and today's report says

information about his killers should have been more widely shared.

Behind the scenes at Occupy Exeter. There are some delicious food in

the kitchen. Who are the protesters living outside the cathedral? A

special report from inside the camp. And find out more about the night

sky as the region prepares for a starring role in a live television

event. Clinical teams responsible for the

killer of a man with learning disabilities are missed

opportunities and fail to manage the risk he posed. That is the

conclusion of an independent report ordered by the Southwest Strategic

Health Authority. Darren Stewart had been diagnosed with the

personality disorder. He is serving life for the murder of Stephen

Hoskin who fell to his death from a viaduct in St Austell and 2006. Our

health correspondent reports. Stephen Hoskin was 39 and had

severe learning disabilities. Soon after social services moved him

into a flat in St Austell in July 2006, Darren Stewart moved in and

with a group of others began to intimidate him. On the day Stephen

died, he was tortured and then taken to the top of the viaduct and

was forced to hang from the railings and then drop 100 ft to

his death. Darren Stewart was then jailed for life. A serious case

review criticise health and social services and police for failing to

spot the risks. Today, an independent report commissioned by

the strategic health authority described her Stewart had been in

prison and psychiatric hospitals and was known to be violent and at

risk of harming himself and others. He had been diagnosed with a

personality disorder and had been in contact with various agencies

and services many times. The report makes 15 recommendations for

improvements and says we identify several missed opportunities that

would have provided a more systematic and organised approach

to his care and treatment. Given the risks identified at regular

intervals, it is conceivable that a continue to targeting of those more

vulnerable than himself might have been predicted. I think there were

risks that were identified at various stages. There were

opportunities, but each of those were dealt with almost

independently and not look that corporately and therefore the

broader risk, very few people's will be bigger picture, this will

be individual incident and dealt with that in isolation. Those

responsible for mental health services in Cornwall said important

lessons have been learned. There are a number of changes that have

been made, not just to our service, but the most in that -- innovative

attenders of call-outs from the police and ambulance service and

brings agencies together to share information about those people.

Tonight's Inside Out South West hears from surviving crew and

relatives who say Reliance Yacht Management which is based in

Hampshire, put pressure on skippers to sell when they have told the

company it was unsafe. Family and survivors claimed that Reliance

pressured skippers into sailing into dangerous waters against their

better judgment. John Anstess was delivering a catamaran from South

Africa to the north-west coast of America in 2006. He asked Reliance

if he could change route and go around Hawaii and avoid the her

cane. He was flatly told no and the owner would go ballistic. You are

taking too long and dragging your heels. John and two crew died when

the boat capsized. Two months later, another Reliance skipper Steve

man has appeared in court charged with two counts of child abduction

in Devon. Mark Howe, who is 50 and from Crediton, is also charged with

other sexual offences. Our Home Affairs correspondent reports from

Exeter Magistrates' Court. Mark Howe was charged with two counts of

child abduction, both in Exeter, the first on New Year's Eve and the

second on Friday 13th January. He is also charged with another

offence against a tide, possessing an indecent image of the 14-year-

old girl and another count of grinning. My Mark Howe entered no

plea to the charges and he was remanded in custody to appear again

before a judge at Exeter Crown The Occupy Exeter camp outside the

Drake's Circus shopping centre has ended. The group had said on social

network sites that their campaign isn't over, but they are changing

tactics. Meanwhile the occupy a Obama camp on the city's Cathedral

Green has refused an offer for a perm and a marquee for use during

daylight hours in return for an end to the campsite. Increasing reports

of anti-social behaviour have prompted the cathedral to make the

offer in a bid to end the occupation of its land, but Occupy

Exeter says it has no intention of moving until it sees changes in

global financial inequalities. Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has been

to the camp over the weekend to sense the mood and to see what life

is like there after dark. Dinner- time at Occupy Exeter. Look at the

steam coming of that! Vegetarian pasta sauce. There is some

delicious third in the kitchen! There is a rota for everything, but

even in these inclusive anti- capitalist quarters, things go

wrong. This has been rustled up in record time, because people someone

else was doing dinner. Anyone can be part of Occupy Exeter. Katie is

disabled and says she has been badly affected by a austerity

budget cuts. She spent as much time as you can hear. It is great living

in such a mixed community. Sometimes it can be a bit scary,

because we are open and we cannot keep people out. It is an inclusive

community. Most of the time it is brilliant and I have met lots of

people you would not get anywhere else in society. It has its

problems. Some of the community are causing trouble. It has got worse

and last night was particularly bad. I was kept awake quite a lot. This

afternoon has been disturbing as well. There is a part of the camp

that are or homeless and a lot of them have social problems and the

noise his death in the coming from that end of the camp. Then she is

23 and he is doing a degree in history at Exeter University. Every

night he comes back here to sleep. It is a bit cramped, but it is cosy

and we have plenty of layers to keep out the cold. One air they're

all here? To protest about global financial inequality. In the last

30 years, the gap between the rich and poor in this country has

widened. How can that be right? those passing by the cathedral,

mixed opinions. They have made a lot of mess and it isn't really an

appropriate place to make a protest, because the church is on the site

of many of the issues they support. It is such a shame they had made

such a mess. It isn't the way to protest. They could do a lot more

good if they got off their bombs and helped people. I do not think

they have been making much mess or noise. They are taking up space,

but they are standing up for what they believe in, which a lot of

people should be doing. It is nine weeks now since Cathedral Green has

been occupied, first with eight or 10 tense, now with near a 40.

Community spirit is strong, but they are not welcome neighbours. A

small inconvenience they say in the fight for a fairer society.

Last week, the cathedral authorities offered the protesters

the chance to site and Occupy Exeter marquee to use as a focal

point for their campaign. They also offered other ways in which the

cathedral and protesters could work together in what they described as

areas of common concern. The proposals required an end to the

permanent encampment on the cathedral green. Occupy Exeter have

refused to move and concern about anti-social behaviour at the site

is growing. A jury must now from Exeter is city centre manager John

Harvey. We understand the concern about anti-social behaviour, but

this is a city centre location and inevitably after hours people will

be drawn there. Surely this anti- social behaviour has been happening

long before the Occupy Exeter set up residents? No. It is becoming a

focus for anti-social behaviour. It is right that people should have

the right to protest and it is an important thing in a democratic

society. This is a honey pot for disorder, drug misuse, alcohol

misuse and fights. It is an acceptable and things have got to

change. What are you doing to move anti-social behaviour on, because

people in the camp say they are trying to con the anti-social

behaviour problems by having so called tranquillity watches. Is it

down to them to do that? Clear lead, they have to take some

responsibility, because it is their camp and they are running it. They

need to deal with it. The reality is that they cannot fully deal with

that, the police are getting called on a regular basis and I think it

is reaching the point that we need to take a view if it is appropriate

for them to be there. What are you doing about it? The cathedral

chapter will be meeting to review more options on Thursday. They and

I have been talking about it at length over the whole duration of

the camp. We are keeping the situation under review and we are

in regular touch with the police. We are reaching a point where

things have got to change and obviously the cathedral will take a

view on what his next at the next True City FC warded off a winding-

wonderful thing about the Cornish people is they take campaigns to

Natalie with a round up of what was a busy weekend. Plymouth Argyle are

all set to unveil a new coach who will mentor rookie manager Carl

Fletcher. The person thought to be taking on the role is former

Doncaster and Bournemouth boss Sean O'Driscoll. He was at Saturday's 2-

1 win over Burton Albion. Brent Pilnick reports.

Could this man be the answer to Plymouth Argyle's problems? Sean

O'Driscoll was at the game on Saturday. He is the former boss of

Doncaster and Bournemouth and is widely thought to be the man to be

appointed mentor to Carl Fletcher. It comes as Argyll's owner unveiled

his new board of directors to fans at a meeting on Saturday morning.

We have not agreed what the title should be but it will reflect the

fact the individual who comes in will come in as a mentor with

advice to help Carl take the team forward. On the pitch, an in-crowd

-- encouraging result as they beat Burton. Simon Walton gave Argyle

the lead in the second half. There was an equaliser with 17 minutes

left. Argyll showed great steel and determination as they won a late

penalty after this Thow. -- this foul. The club's first win of the

year and with improvements of the fields, the fans hope they will be

many more like this to come. To our other results and Exeter may

have extended their unbeaten run to seven games but they were

frustrated by a 0-0 draw at home to Hartlepool on Saturday. It meant

they missed the chance to pull well clear of the relegation zone.

Hartlepool gave little away as Exeter threw everything at them in

the closing stages to no avail. Gary Johnson's return to Huish Park

resulted in three valuable points as Yeovil beat Tranmere Rovers 2-1.

The Glovers came from behind with goals from Joe Edwards and then

Andy Williams at the death. Yeovil are still in the relegation zone

but safety is within touching distance. Operation Johnson has

begun. In League 2 Torquay managed a 2-1

win as well. They overcame Macclesfield Town with Ian Morris

and Mark Ellis both scoring for the first time for the club. This was

the Gulls eighth win, in a run that's seen only one defeat in 11

games. This was their second double of the season and it lifts them to

eighth in the table, surely making them serious promotion contenders.

A trio of wins for our three main rugby sides this weekend. Exeter

Chiefs had a stonking victory over Cavalieri Prato in the Amlin Cup

beating them 50-10. The Cornish Pirates beat Esher 36-30 in the

Championship and cash strapped Plymouth Albion got their first win

under coach Nat Saumi when they beat Leeds 25-20. The bonus point

victory helped lift the mood at the Brickfields after what's been a

turbulent few weeks for Albion. Two of Plymouth's tries came from

Gareth Evans with Wayne Sprangle and Paul Roberts scoring the others.

The Plymouth Raiders missed out on their first bit of silverware this

season when they lost the BBL cup final. They were beaten 115 - 94 by

the Newcastle Eagles. It was a record breaking game in which

previous BBL Cup final statistics were blown out of the water. The

Raiders admitted they didn't play very well, and were comfortably

beaten by a much better team on the day. But they thanked their fans

and everyone who has backed them this season. The Raiders still have

3 trophies to shoot for, and are hoping to they may be able to exact

revenge on the Eagles at some stage. The Ghanaian Olympic team has

chosen Plymouth as its training camp leading up to the summer's

games. There'll around be 25 competitors and 15 trainers.

They'll be using various city facilities including the YMCA and

Brickfields. The sports they will compete in are likely to be boxing,

tae Kwando, judo, weight-lifting and athletics. It's already been

revealed that Canadian Olympic divers and Lithuanian swimmers will

also be based here. Plymouth has been linked with Sekondi-Takoradi

in Ghana for the last nine years. It is good news. The City is

delighted. They are impressed with the facilities and equipment and

they are pleased to hear it we will make... Ghanaian food will be

available. And finally a reminder that Late Kick Off, our football

league magazine show, returns to our screens tonight. It kicks off

at 11.05pm. That is well past someone's bed time!

I shall still be here tonight. That is a nice twinkly top.

Tonight sees the first of this year's Stargazing Live programme on

BBC2, but if you've ever fancied having a go at some stargazing

yourself, Helen Roberts has put together a beginner's guide.

As a weather presenter I am often looking up at the sky the usually

it is in daylight hours. I thought I would have a go at something

different. They say it's bad luck to open an umbrella indoors but on

this occasion we can make an All you need to make your own

For something a little more realistic I went along to an

observatory and ask how why beginners can get started with

star-gazing. Binoculars are a wonderful way to start because you

get a wide view of everything. You can see constellations and you can

see really simple things like star patterns, double stars, variable

stars. You can even use the naked eye to see things like me tools and

the Andromeda galaxy, our closest Labour. To get a guaranteed view of

some of those very objects, I went to the Observer trees Planetarium

feet are bare. So, we that tuition and some breaks in the cloud, I

thought I would put my new knowledge into practice. The full

moon was a perfect opportunity. I am looking at some really bright

areas with bright lines coming away, is that the craters? Yes, and there

raised reflecting sunlight. There is a full moon and I would have

thought that's ideal but you said earlier it is not necessarily ideal

conditions. Not for viewing because you're getting too much of the

Sun's reflection. It is too bright. You cannot see the shadows or

detail on the craters. If you have never looked at the night sky, grab

a scarf and get outside. Who knows what you might see? There's plenty

of information online to go along with the Stargazing Live series on

our website. The first programme starts at eight thirty tonight on

BBC 2 and Spotlight is live at the Eden Project tomorrow and in

Dulverton on Wednesday for a spot of South West stargazing.

What we really need are three really good clear nights. Just like

we had for the eclipse! What about one? Tonight is the night star-

stars will be twinkling tonight. It will get pretty chilly, as low as
