:00:44. > :00:46.A coroner has criticised a water authority for "gambling" with the
:00:46. > :00:51.lives of 20,000 people following Britain's worst mass poisoning
:00:51. > :00:56.incident. The water supply in Camelford was accidentally
:00:56. > :00:59.contaminated with aluminium sulphate in 1988. Investigating the
:00:59. > :01:01.death of 59-year-old Carole Cross, the West Somerset coroner said
:01:01. > :01:08.there was a very real possibility the chemical may have been a factor
:01:09. > :01:16.in her death. Our reporter Janine Jansen is live in the North
:01:16. > :01:20.Cornwall town tonight. It is the answer they have been
:01:20. > :01:26.waiting for it, it did the catastrophic poisoning caused the
:01:26. > :01:29.death of Carol Cross? After 24 years, an answer. Probably.
:01:29. > :01:33.Although there is not enough evidence to be absolutely sure.
:01:33. > :01:38.Today the coroner said there was a real possibility that a union may
:01:38. > :01:45.have been a calls in her death and after the verdict the statement was
:01:45. > :01:51.read up by her widower. The verdict comes after eight years
:01:51. > :01:55.fighting to discover the truth of what happened to my wife, Carol. I
:01:55. > :01:59.hope the verdict today prompts further study of the long-term
:02:00. > :02:07.effects of the incident to give reassurance to my friends and
:02:07. > :02:12.neighbours in the town. Recently I spoke to the widow of
:02:12. > :02:19.Carol Cross about that fateful day back in 1988. It is a date he
:02:19. > :02:27.remembers vividly. An elderly lady splashed her face with water in the
:02:27. > :02:33.morning and her hand stuck to her face. The man running the Pet Shop
:02:33. > :02:37.was in tears saying that his animals had died. He said he filled
:02:37. > :02:43.up their bowls with water, they drank it and they died within a few
:02:43. > :02:51.minutes. The river was full of dead fish, it was a total wipe out.
:02:51. > :02:54.60,000 fish have died. John Stevens was the relief driver who put 20
:02:54. > :03:01.tonnes of aluminium sulphate into the wrong tank at the treatment
:03:01. > :03:08.works. It poisoned the mains water supply. 20,000 people were affected.
:03:08. > :03:10.The accidental contamination happened on Wednesday 6th July 1988.
:03:10. > :03:15.The South West Water of the rot began to have its suspicions about
:03:15. > :03:19.the aluminium two days later. But did not get the lorry driver back
:03:19. > :03:24.to confirm his mistake until six days later. Still people were being
:03:24. > :03:29.told that the water was safe to drink. They finally told the
:03:29. > :03:36.public's some of the truth about the contamination 16 days later.
:03:36. > :03:39.This is the noticed that South West Water put in the middle of a sports
:03:40. > :03:43.page in it and newspapers 16 days after the event. Still the public
:03:43. > :03:47.was being told that the water was safe to drink and there was no
:03:47. > :03:55.mention of the amount of aluminium sulphate placed in the mains water
:03:55. > :04:00.supply. Here authority was to be privatised will foreign year. --
:04:00. > :04:04.the following year. People were told that the water was safe to
:04:04. > :04:10.drink but at a public meeting the chairman was not too keen to put
:04:10. > :04:20.that into practice. I would like to pass up to the top
:04:20. > :04:22.
:04:22. > :04:26.table a sample of the water. I would not like to drink it.
:04:26. > :04:32.man in charge of environmental health says he was not told the
:04:32. > :04:37.truth for three weeks. He said that was shockingly late. I think
:04:37. > :04:41.everybody that I know of things it was a very disgraceful episode, a
:04:41. > :04:46.dreadful lack of communication. Many were told to mix the water
:04:46. > :04:49.with orange juice or to boil it. The leading aluminium expert in the
:04:49. > :04:55.country said that that was appalling advise. It was completely
:04:55. > :04:58.ridiculous. One assumes it was uninformed because balling would
:04:58. > :05:06.just have concentrated the amount of aluminium Wes adding orange
:05:06. > :05:09.juice would have increased the absorption of it across the gut.
:05:09. > :05:13.Carol Cross lived in Camlough but at the time but died 16 years later.
:05:13. > :05:18.She had levels of aluminium in her brain that experts say we are
:05:18. > :05:21.beyond belief. The leading neuropathologist in the country
:05:21. > :05:26.said that Carroll had a rare form of old timers, unique across the
:05:26. > :05:31.world. I have only seen one remotely similar case and that was
:05:31. > :05:37.in someone a lot older than Carol. She was 81 when she died whereas
:05:37. > :05:43.Carroll was just 59. So I have never seen a comparable case at
:05:43. > :05:48.that age. Her with a were says when she died, it was his specialist who
:05:48. > :05:54.suggested a link. He looked at me and said that it looked like metal
:05:54. > :05:59.poisoning. And then add German doctor, a locum, took me aside and
:05:59. > :06:07.said you know, we see quite a few cases of aluminium poisoning in
:06:07. > :06:12.Germany. The experts are convinced. The incident must have contributed
:06:12. > :06:16.to the death of Carroll crossed. To do the coroner criticised the South
:06:16. > :06:20.West Water a priority as it was then for its dereliction of duty.
:06:20. > :06:24.He criticised the poor state of management centre should have
:06:24. > :06:29.informed the public much sooner about the truth. He says they were
:06:29. > :06:39.gambling with up to 20,000 lives. Today we have reaction from one
:06:39. > :06:40.
:06:40. > :06:43.environmental campaigner here. I think the specialist
:06:43. > :06:53.practitioners have done their job well and they're saying that there
:06:53. > :06:53.
:06:53. > :07:00.must be a link. The coroner must say that there is a definite link.
:07:00. > :07:03.I feed he was deeply distressed by the way the whole thing was handled.
:07:03. > :07:06.To rub the coroner said that people should not fear that they may
:07:06. > :07:10.become victims of this poisoning. He said there are probably most
:07:10. > :07:14.people ingested none or little of the aluminium and should not be
:07:14. > :07:22.worried. Again beginning to like that most people will be glad to
:07:22. > :07:26.put this episode behind them. Now the offence created a lot of
:07:27. > :07:31.political controversy over the years. Our political Correspondent
:07:31. > :07:35.is in at Westminster. Well the mistakes of the past
:07:35. > :07:40.continued to cast a long shadow over the water industry in the
:07:40. > :07:45.south-west. Just this afternoon MPs have been debating legislation to
:07:45. > :07:50.reduce all water bills in Devon and Cornwall by �50 a year. It will go
:07:50. > :07:55.some way towards correcting what everyone seems to accept is an
:07:55. > :08:02.unjust side effect of privatisation. The poisoning incident dates from
:08:02. > :08:05.the same era and is just as long lasting. By their the corner Lord
:08:05. > :08:09.former MP for the area things that the findings today should be
:08:09. > :08:14.allowed to draw a line entirely under this episode. The very least
:08:14. > :08:18.the government should do now, because it was a Conservative
:08:18. > :08:22.government that took those steps in the run-up to the privatisation of
:08:22. > :08:27.the industry, the least that the present government should do is to
:08:27. > :08:32.compensate victims and make sure we get to the bottom of what exactly
:08:32. > :08:36.the health effects wear. Well the corner was asking the government
:08:36. > :08:39.also to provide some money towards the cost of the long-running
:08:39. > :08:42.inquest. He also called for more research into the effects of
:08:42. > :08:46.aluminium in public water supplies. Meanwhile the government says the
:08:46. > :08:50.next few months will see the publication of a major report into
:08:50. > :08:56.chemical contaminants in water supplies and that report had been
:08:56. > :09:00.deliberately delayed in order to take account of the verdict today.
:09:00. > :09:02.Unemployment has risen again across the region. But in most places here
:09:02. > :09:05.our figures are still below the national rate, and there are signs
:09:05. > :09:11.the rise may be beginning to flatten off. With the latest,
:09:11. > :09:16.here's our business correspondent Neil Gallacher.
:09:16. > :09:19.Yes, bad that it's still rising, but at least not rising as fast. As
:09:19. > :09:22.always we're limited to giving you just the number actually out of
:09:22. > :09:26.work and claiming benefit for each county. But we can still compare
:09:26. > :09:29.like with like and draw some conclusions. The overall UK
:09:29. > :09:32.claimant count rate went up to 4.2 percent.
:09:32. > :09:37.Cornwall's rate went up to 3.4 percent, Devon's went up to 2.5
:09:37. > :09:42.percent. Dorset's rose only very slightly to
:09:42. > :09:47.2 percent and Somerset's rose to 2.6 percent.
:09:47. > :09:50.The higher rates here are in the unitary areas. Plymouth's went up
:09:50. > :09:54.to 4.1 percent and Torbay is still the one significant area here above
:09:54. > :09:58.the national rate, at 5 percent. Now we went to South Devon today to
:09:58. > :10:01.Newton Abbot where there's a careers fair all week. Young people
:10:01. > :10:02.from all over Devon getting advice on the search for work which a
:10:02. > :10:09.disproportionate number of youngsters find themselves caught
:10:09. > :10:13.up in. No one seems to want to call back
:10:13. > :10:23.and tell me what is actually wrong with my application or anything
:10:23. > :10:24.
:10:24. > :10:29.like that. It is so hard, the amount of rejections I have got.
:10:29. > :10:34.It comes to the point now where I am hoping someone has lost their
:10:34. > :10:41.jobs so I can have it. I have been looking for work for about six
:10:41. > :10:47.months and still cannot get anything. I do not want to claim
:10:47. > :10:52.benefits. Although the rise in unemployment
:10:52. > :10:55.is no longer as steep as it was, I guess it will be a good while yet
:10:55. > :10:56.before we are looking at any actual falls.
:10:56. > :10:59.Although Torbay's unemployment figures are consistently the
:10:59. > :11:01.highest in the South West, the area boasts a number of Hi-tech
:11:01. > :11:05.manufacturing companies which, despite the poor state of the local
:11:05. > :11:10.economy, are continuing to do well. Chloe Axford has been to find out
:11:10. > :11:15.why. Spirent in Paignton makes hi-tech
:11:15. > :11:17.test equipment for navigation systems. It seems the secret to its
:11:17. > :11:27.current success is that its not reliant on the UK market to stay
:11:27. > :11:28.
:11:28. > :11:33.afloat. We have a global market here. As do
:11:33. > :11:43.another of hi-tech businesses here. So our customers are much broader
:11:43. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:48.than many traditional businesses who are restricted by geography.
:11:48. > :11:52.Most jobs are highly skilled and specialised which means that many
:11:52. > :11:55.of the staff are recruited from outside the area. One company which
:11:55. > :12:04.does recruit locally is Gooch and Housego in Torquay. It employs 110
:12:04. > :12:11.staff making fibre optic components. We don't recruit in the local area
:12:11. > :12:14.and tried to improve people's skills. We also have programmes for
:12:14. > :12:17.people who require further education, we would respond to them
:12:17. > :12:22.as well. Lyn Doney grew up in Torbay and has
:12:22. > :12:27.been working at the company for two weeks.
:12:27. > :12:31.It is the first job I applied for and I have got it. With him out of
:12:31. > :12:33.people added work I did not expect to get into work so quickly. Both
:12:33. > :12:36.companies are too small to run their own apprenticeship schemes.
:12:36. > :12:44.But they say they are thinking of banding together with other firms
:12:44. > :12:48.to help those out of work on their doorstep get their foot in the door.
:12:48. > :12:53.And we will be debating the state of the economy in the region next

:13:40. > :13:46.one hotelier in Weymouth of the news that the Dorset town is losing
:13:46. > :13:48.its ferry business until November at the earliest. The failure of
:13:48. > :13:51.emergency work to repair cracks in Weymouth's damaged harbour wall
:13:51. > :14:00.means Condor Ferries will have to sail out of Poole throughout this

:14:04. > :14:08.The decorators are sprucing up the Bourneville hotel on the seafront

:14:13. > :14:17.night, five guests have already cancelled their bookings.
:14:17. > :14:21.It is going to be catastrophic for Weymouth. When the report came out
:14:21. > :14:25.we had phone calls almost immediately to cancel for the next

:14:35. > :14:41.confidently promised that Condor would then turn this month. But
:14:41. > :14:44.that has clearly failed, and failed badly. At the moment we was

:14:50. > :14:54.depends on what the cancelled -- what the council do with the birth.
:14:54. > :14:58.We hoped that remedial works would be sufficient but now we're in the
:14:58. > :15:05.position of relocating. The council owns the port so the council must

:15:15. > :15:22.meantime you're going to lose a million passengers for Weymouth
:15:22. > :15:26.this year. Yes, we are. Just months from the Olympics, Weymouth is no
:15:26. > :15:29.longer a ferry port. No longer a gateway to the Channel Islands and

:21:10. > :21:15.We're not going to let the draw today affect us mentally. I gave
:21:15. > :21:19.them five minutes to be disappointed and then we are ready
:21:19. > :21:23.for Saturday. There seems to be no stopping Torquay United at the
:21:23. > :21:27.moment as this storm into the automatic promotion places. For
:21:27. > :21:31.Yeovil Town there were thwarted with virtually the last kick of the
:21:31. > :21:35.game. But on this performance I am sure but they will stay in League
:21:35. > :21:38.One. Cornish MP George Eustice came
:21:38. > :21:41.first in the annual Sport Relief Westminster Mile. More than 40 MPs
:21:41. > :21:44.took part in the charity event in St James' Park. The Camborne and
:21:44. > :21:52.Redruth Conservative MP took five minutes 28 seconds to set the
:21:52. > :21:57.record. Now for a tale of double-crossing,
:21:57. > :21:59.love late in life and scandal in the banking industry. But before
:21:59. > :22:03.you think we have a really juicy story to finish the programme
:22:03. > :22:05.tonight, we're actually talking about a play. The production is
:22:05. > :22:07.called "Tin", it's all set in nineteenth century Cornwall and
:22:07. > :22:17.features one of the county's best known voices, performing after a
:22:17. > :22:18.
:22:18. > :22:20.long absence. Spotlight's Matt Pengelly went along to rehearsals.
:22:20. > :22:24.Tin is a story of romance, greed, and the adventures of a travelling
:22:24. > :22:26.opera company, who become embroiled in a huge banking fraud. Singers
:22:26. > :22:36.from the English Touring Opera are working with Cornwall's Miracle
:22:36. > :22:40.
:22:40. > :22:44.Theatre. This in Street went on underground
:22:45. > :22:49.but the more we researched into it, the more we got into the background
:22:50. > :22:56.of the story, it is extraordinary to discover the depths that people
:22:56. > :23:00.went to, down to a 1000 feet. The intricacies of the financing of
:23:00. > :23:03.mining. Playing the part of Mr East, the
:23:03. > :23:05.mine owner, is the famous Cornish baritone Ben Luxon. He's travelled
:23:05. > :23:08.from his home in America for his first performance in Cornwall for
:23:08. > :23:12.12 years. He won't be singing due to hearing problems, but he's
:23:12. > :23:18.looking forward to the acting challenge.
:23:18. > :23:25.It is very special. I was born just across the road of course in
:23:25. > :23:32.hospital. It is very special. I always come back to Cornwall for a
:23:32. > :23:34.couple of weeks at least each year. Tin will be premiered here on the
:23:34. > :23:39.20th of March with 100 local singers, including representatives
:23:39. > :23:42.from eight local schools, at the Heartlands site in Pool.
:23:42. > :23:52.It is a pretty appropriate site, as it's right in the centre of what
:23:52. > :24:01.
:24:01. > :24:06.used to be Cornish mining country. Now time for and look at the
:24:06. > :24:12.Now time for and look at the weather.
:24:12. > :24:15.We had some sunshine this afternoon, it has been quite pleasant today if
:24:15. > :24:22.you're not right on the coast because those areas did struggle
:24:22. > :24:27.with the temperatures. That was because of the cloud and the
:24:27. > :24:35.onshore breeze. But the wind is already dying down at so what will
:24:35. > :24:45.become colder tonight with those clearer skies. Some fog expected to
:24:45. > :24:50.form. Especially across parts of East Devon and up into Somerset.
:24:50. > :24:57.The high pressure is beginning to move now, allowing flout to coming
:24:57. > :25:02.to the west of Ireland. That will produce some patchy rain on Friday.
:25:02. > :25:08.Then as we move through Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, at the high
:25:08. > :25:15.pressure finally moves right out of the way. Then we start to seek low
:25:15. > :25:20.pressure take charge. And by the end of Friday, outbreaks of rain.
:25:20. > :25:25.There is the satellite picture from earlier today. You can see how the
:25:25. > :25:35.cloud has largely melted away. Of the area of cloud coming into parts
:25:35. > :25:42.of Devon has made it pretty chilly and miserable. It has been forming
:25:42. > :25:46.a few waves along the seaside. And temperatures have struggled to
:25:46. > :25:51.seven or eight degrees today, compared to parts of north and west
:25:51. > :25:57.Devon were temperatures were at 11 or 12 degrees. Tonight for all of
:25:57. > :26:03.us, like wind and that mist and fog forming quickly. Once that starts
:26:03. > :26:11.to happen we see temperatures dropping to as low as three degrees
:26:11. > :26:16.overnight. Quite a funny start in places tomorrow. That will clear up
:26:16. > :26:23.through the morning but do not expect a lot of sunshine. The cloud
:26:23. > :26:28.is quite reluctant to break up. The best of the bricks will be across
:26:28. > :26:35.the east of Devon, up into Somerset and Dorset. And here also the
:26:35. > :26:45.highest temperatures. The Isles of Scilly, rather cloudy and misty and
:26:45. > :26:59.
:26:59. > :27:09.grey. And those times of high water. For the coastal waters forecast,
:27:09. > :27:10.
:27:10. > :27:15.after an easterly wind to a -- today, at the wind turns suddenly.
:27:15. > :27:22.On Friday, but we have some rainfall perhaps later in the day.
:27:22. > :27:26.But once that sets in it will remain overnight into Saturday.
:27:26. > :27:30.Clearing to showers, and then quite a drop in the temperatures on
