:00:10. > :00:14.A big rise in deaths from liver disease, much of it is alcohol-

:00:14. > :00:19.related. Good evening. In parts of the region, deaths have risen by

:00:19. > :00:22.more than 50% in a decade. Also tonight, making a splash - the

:00:22. > :00:30.multi-million pound Life Centre described as one of the best

:00:30. > :00:32.facilities of its kind. It was amazing. I just thought, wow, this

:00:32. > :00:36.is going to be brilliant. And residents patrolling their own

:00:36. > :00:44.streets, is it policing on the cheap or a good way to tackle anti-

:00:44. > :00:48.social behaviour? There's been a big increase in the

:00:48. > :00:51.number of people dying from liver disease in the South West. Although

:00:51. > :00:55.fewer people here die than most other parts of the country, new

:00:55. > :00:58.research has found there's been a rapid rise over the last decade.

:00:58. > :01:01.The increase in many parts of the South West is well above the

:01:01. > :01:09.average for England. In Plymouth there's been an increase of nearly

:01:09. > :01:12.53%, in Dorset 51, Somerset 45 and in Cornwall just over 31%. There

:01:12. > :01:17.were also increases in Devon and Torbay but these were lower at

:01:17. > :01:20.19.5% and 8%. Alcohol plays a part in around 45% of all deaths from

:01:20. > :01:26.liver disease in the South West compared to the national average of

:01:26. > :01:29.37%. The figures come in the first ever national report of its kind

:01:29. > :01:36.published today. In a moment we'll hear from one of its lead authors,

:01:36. > :01:39.but first Jane Chandler reports. Lesley Harris' husband David was

:01:39. > :01:44.just 62 when he died of liver disease last year. They'd been

:01:44. > :01:51.together for 40 years. The lived at St Agnes in Cornwall. She's says

:01:51. > :01:56.alcohol played a big part in his life after he retired. I think he

:01:56. > :02:01.lost his identity. He certainly lost confident and went from that

:02:01. > :02:07.he quite enjoyed a drink and then it got to "I need a drink to be

:02:07. > :02:11.happy and have a laugh" and then it was "I have to have a drink" and

:02:11. > :02:14.then it made him drink more because he was feeling guilty and depressed,

:02:14. > :02:16.he knew what he was doing was not right.

:02:16. > :02:19.Understanding what's happening with alcohol-related liver deaths like

:02:19. > :02:29.David's is complex. The South West still has the lowest amount of

:02:29. > :02:29.

:02:29. > :02:32.people per head of population dying from liver disease. But there's

:02:32. > :02:37.been a huge rise in the last decade. The Harbour Centre is a charity

:02:37. > :02:45.that works with people to overcome addiction. It takes referrals from

:02:45. > :02:52.across the Plymouth area. We have seen many referrals a year on year

:02:52. > :02:55.we see an increase in referrals. Lot of young people coming in and

:02:55. > :03:01.week no a client who died in their mid-twenties due to alcohol Concern

:03:01. > :03:04.Sion. Harbour says they aren't shocked by

:03:04. > :03:10.the figures for alcohol-related liver disease in the South West

:03:10. > :03:14.because of what they've seen. It is a sad reflection on a number

:03:14. > :03:17.of units of alcohol drunk nationally. People drink more at

:03:17. > :03:24.home now, it is cheaper in supermarkets are people can afford

:03:24. > :03:28.to drink at home. And problems can begin there. Lesley hopes that by

:03:28. > :03:35.sharing her story today, she may help others avoid heartache in the

:03:35. > :03:39.future. He was a lovely man. 200 people came to his funeral. It is

:03:39. > :03:41.horrendous and I can't begin to tell you how awful it is.

:03:41. > :03:48.The report's authors say efforts must now focus on tackling the

:03:48. > :03:52.causes of liver disease, sooner rather than later.

:03:52. > :03:55.Earlier I spoke to Dr Julia Verne, one of the lead authors of the

:03:55. > :04:02.report and asked her if there was any explanation as to why there had

:04:02. > :04:11.been such a rapid rise in liver disease here. Window that over a

:04:11. > :04:13.third of the cases are alcohol- related -- we know that over. Also

:04:13. > :04:18.obesity and risk-taking with respect to drug taking over the

:04:18. > :04:24.past few decades. You have mentioned alcohol really plays a

:04:24. > :04:26.part in liver disease but it is not the only reason, is it? No, not at

:04:26. > :04:34.all and one of the concerns recently is the effect of obesity

:04:34. > :04:38.on the liver. It causes fatty liver disease and terminal liver illness.

:04:38. > :04:41.Not all types of liver disease are lifestyle-induced and there are

:04:41. > :04:45.some people who have auto-immune liver diseases and some of the

:04:45. > :04:48.problems are that liver disease and death from them is very

:04:48. > :04:51.stigmatising. That is one of the things we would like to overcome.

:04:51. > :04:55.So we have got the facts and figures from this report, what

:04:55. > :04:59.would you like to see happen as a result of your findings? We are

:04:59. > :05:03.hoping that this report will raise the profile of the disease and in

:05:03. > :05:09.particular deaths from it among the general population and particularly

:05:09. > :05:12.among half professionals, GPs and hospital specialists. What we are

:05:12. > :05:15.hoping it is that end of life care for patients dying of liver disease

:05:16. > :05:19.will be improved and to do this, we will need to understand the very

:05:19. > :05:22.special needs that liver patients have in relation to the

:05:22. > :05:26.stigmatisation that is associated with endstage liver disease, the

:05:26. > :05:31.fact that many come from deprived backgrounds, from marginalised

:05:31. > :05:40.groups. Perhaps because of their lifestyles. But the important thing

:05:40. > :05:42.is that everybody has a right to a normal death and we must improve

:05:42. > :05:45.end of life care for the disease patients.

:05:45. > :05:50.A charity and campaign group for pensioners has reacted angrily to

:05:50. > :05:53.the news that tax-free allowances for older people are being frozen.

:05:53. > :05:56.The news was announced in the Budget yesterday. In a moment we'll

:05:56. > :05:59.hear from our political editor Martyn Oates, but first our

:05:59. > :06:02.correspondent Simon Hall has been getting reaction in East Devon.

:06:02. > :06:05.Dart's Farm shop is popular amongst older people who are a little

:06:05. > :06:10.better off, exactly those who will be affected by the freezing of the

:06:10. > :06:18.tax allowance. Angela Lock retires this week after 36 years with the

:06:19. > :06:27.fire service. She fears losing money for her retirement under the

:06:27. > :06:30.change. It is hard for people who have worked all their lives and

:06:30. > :06:34.some people are in more watch and positions, lots of people will

:06:34. > :06:38.suffer and go without. I think it is totally unfair. It does come as

:06:38. > :06:42.a bombshell. One bit of the Budget that was not leaked beforehand and

:06:42. > :06:46.I think there will be millions of pensioners out there who are just

:06:46. > :06:51.shocked that the Chancellor can take money off them while listening

:06:51. > :06:55.the tax burden for the richest in our society. I think it's appalling.

:06:55. > :06:58.A Budget seminar this morning heard the tax change will affect tens of

:06:58. > :07:01.thousands of retired people in the south west, and cost the region's

:07:01. > :07:09.economy millions. Currently, older people can have an income of

:07:09. > :07:11.�10,500 per year before paying tax. That will no longer increase in

:07:12. > :07:14.line with inflation. The Government estimate more than 4 million people

:07:14. > :07:24.will be affected each losing an average of over �80 pounds next

:07:24. > :07:27.year. The pensioners will not be able to spend that money in the

:07:27. > :07:31.economy and that will have a knock- on effect in the businesses in the

:07:31. > :07:34.South West. The businesses themselves are feeling the pinch

:07:34. > :07:41.through increased fuel prices and the Chancellor said he would not

:07:41. > :07:44.change the fuel price in October of 3p. The freeze in the tax-free

:07:44. > :07:48.allowance for retired people comes into effect next April.

:07:48. > :07:51.The Chancellor described this change as a simplification of the

:07:51. > :07:56.tax system. He said nobody would receive less cash than they do at

:07:56. > :08:03.the moment and that older people would benefit to significant

:08:03. > :08:09.I'm joined now by our political editor Martyn Oates. How are the

:08:09. > :08:16.Government parties reacting to all this criticism? As Simon said

:08:16. > :08:19.yesterday, he described the Chancellor describing it as a

:08:19. > :08:24.simplification which said he was almost doing the pension as a

:08:24. > :08:32.favour. He also said that nobody will lose in cash terms.

:08:32. > :08:37.Technically true but they will lose out in real terms in the long term.

:08:37. > :08:40.Conservative MP Ben two painted a more general picture that George

:08:40. > :08:49.Osborne was painting. We are about to have the largest operating in

:08:49. > :08:52.the basic level of pension. We have preserved many of the things that

:08:52. > :08:57.Labour attacked as being under threat such as the winter fuel

:08:57. > :09:02.allowance, the free prescriptions and bus passes, the free TV

:09:02. > :09:09.licences for the pensioners and so on. Labour say that we have a

:09:09. > :09:13.budget now where one headline, tax for very richest, is cut over the

:09:13. > :09:20.50 p top rate. At the same time we see a merger like this which

:09:20. > :09:24.affects people on much more limited means. -- a measure which means.

:09:24. > :09:28.Pensioners at the bottom end of the earnings scale will be hit by this

:09:28. > :09:32.tax. It is not fair in the same way that other taxes and removal of tax

:09:32. > :09:37.credits is not there and on top of that you have got all sorts of

:09:37. > :09:40.other hits for the West Country. Other MPs are keen to point out

:09:40. > :09:44.that lots of pensioners are not affected?

:09:44. > :09:48.That is correct, 50% of all pensioners will not be affected and

:09:48. > :09:51.even the richest 10% and that leaves the 40% in the middle. All

:09:51. > :09:55.the main parties tend to say they have got a great deal of time for

:09:55. > :09:59.people in that middle section and they tend to tiptoe around them.

:09:59. > :10:01.Not least, perhaps, because they can play a critical role in

:10:01. > :10:05.determining which of those parties get to govern the country from

:10:05. > :10:08.Westminster. A thank you. The BBC has learned that Condor

:10:08. > :10:11.Ferries - which recently pulled out of Weymouth when the port became

:10:11. > :10:14.unsafe - hasn't had a written contract with the council for 20

:10:14. > :10:19.years. Condor has moved all its services to Poole until at least

:10:19. > :10:23.November because of the problems with the harbour wall. Weymouth and

:10:23. > :10:25.Portland Council says a contract with the ferry firm was put on hold

:10:25. > :10:28.when redevelopment plans stalled. The lack of a contract means no

:10:28. > :10:35.compensation is payable, and also means Condor has no legal

:10:35. > :10:43.obligation to return if the port is rebuilt.

:10:43. > :10:46.A �46.5 million sports centre has been officially opened in Plymouth.

:10:46. > :10:48.There's an Olympic-sized pool, aerial assault course and a

:10:48. > :10:51.competition-standard climbing wall. Olympic hopefuls Tom Daley and

:10:51. > :11:00.Tonia Couch will train there and several Olympic teams will use it

:11:00. > :11:02.as their training camp. John Henderson was there for the opening

:11:02. > :11:12.ceremony. Dizzying heights for a dazzling display. Plymouth's Life

:11:12. > :11:15.Centre opened with a bang. Everyone got stuck in. And Plymouth's club

:11:15. > :11:19.divers showed off their talents at their new home. Brother and sister

:11:19. > :11:22.Evie and Oscar are six and five and not scared of top board. All ten

:11:22. > :11:28.metres of it. The city's most famous diver wasn't around. But

:11:28. > :11:33.this purpose-built pool should ensure even more Tom Daley's.

:11:33. > :11:36.think it is the best dining facility in the country. It will be

:11:36. > :11:44.great for the Games but in terms of the facility and feel-good factor,

:11:44. > :11:48.this place has it all. Those lucky enough to get in first loved it.

:11:48. > :11:51.is amazing, I just thought, wow, this would be brilliant. Research

:11:51. > :11:54.found more than half of Plymouth's population don't do any exercise.

:11:54. > :11:59.No excuses anymore - you can do just about anything at the Life

:11:59. > :12:02.Centre. The climbing wall is 15 metres high. In the basement

:12:02. > :12:11.there's an eight lane bowling centre. The stats are impressive -

:12:11. > :12:14.but at �46.5 million is it worth it? Probably the best public

:12:14. > :12:20.leisure centre in the country at the moment. If that this will not

:12:20. > :12:23.inspire people to come in and get more active, -- if it does, then it

:12:23. > :12:26.is money well spent. Arguably such a major investment is about

:12:26. > :12:29.attracting more people into Plymouth. It's off to a good start

:12:29. > :12:34.- the Canadian diving team and the Lithuanian swimming team are here

:12:34. > :12:41.ahead of the Olympics. But these sharks in the 50 metre pool are

:12:41. > :12:48.from Wembury Primary School. What do you think of it? Brilliance

:12:48. > :12:52.great. I think the swimming pool is his great. The children could not

:12:52. > :12:58.wait to get in and they could not contain their excitement. They are

:12:58. > :13:08.having so much fun. The Life Centre is the biggest investment in

:13:08. > :13:11.leisure facilities in the region, and after a flying start.

:13:11. > :13:14.People power in Falmouth coming up in a moment as volunteers take to

:13:14. > :13:17.the streets to help keep the peace, also still to come - the

:13:17. > :13:20.painstaking restoration of an 18th century home. The work to bring

:13:20. > :13:24.Sherborne House back to life. And a fascinating insight into the

:13:24. > :13:27.history of daffodils as Cotehele celebrates a golden treasure.

:13:27. > :13:30.A civilian patrol made up of volunteers will be taking to the

:13:30. > :13:34.streets of Falmouth in Cornwall, to help the police in their battle

:13:34. > :13:37.with anti-social behaviour. The Street Watch scheme is the first of

:13:37. > :13:46.its kind in the South West but is already up and running in big

:13:46. > :13:50.cities such as Manchester. Meet the Street Watch volunteers. These

:13:50. > :13:55.residents of Falmouth and Devon & Cornwall Police force's latest

:13:55. > :14:00.weapon against anti-social behaviour and low-level crime. This

:14:00. > :14:04.area close to the beach gets very busy in the summer. Local residents

:14:04. > :14:07.say with that comes a rising anti- social behaviour such as drinking,

:14:07. > :14:13.the to-ing and dog fouling. But now they have their own civilian

:14:13. > :14:19.patrols. Rebecca is a shop assistant and Diana is a town

:14:19. > :14:22.council. -- town councillor. they have been given special insurance

:14:22. > :14:26.and high-visibility jackets and training. They can hand out advice

:14:26. > :14:29.and patrol the streets. I think it is a good scheme getting the

:14:29. > :14:31.community involved and you can speak to people when you are

:14:31. > :14:35.walking around. People know you are there. If they need help, they will

:14:35. > :14:39.come to you anyway so you can help them with what are the problems

:14:39. > :14:43.they have. If you came across a problem, perhaps a dispute, have

:14:43. > :14:48.you had training for that was back yes, they have taught us but if it

:14:48. > :14:52.is something that is really hostile, to walk away and get the police to

:14:52. > :14:57.deal with it but if you feel you can communicate with them, if they

:14:57. > :15:02.are young, maybe get them to listen. Some people might say that this is

:15:02. > :15:06.just bobby on the beat on the cheap. Of course, we are facing cuts and

:15:06. > :15:11.we will have fewer police officers and we have to prioritise where we

:15:11. > :15:15.put those officers. But this is part of a bigger picture, part of

:15:15. > :15:19.the "big society", growing recognition of the importance of

:15:19. > :15:22.the voluntary sector and of skimming it is taking charge of the

:15:22. > :15:28.areas they are living. Street Watch has already been trialled in

:15:28. > :15:35.Hampshire and Manchester. And is expected in other towns around the

:15:35. > :15:38.South West who may have their own All this week we've been meeting

:15:38. > :15:41.some of the lucky people in the South West who've been chosen to be

:15:41. > :15:44.Olympic torchbearers for London 2012. Tonight it's one of our very

:15:44. > :15:54.own camera operators, Alec Collyer - one of two members of the entire

:15:54. > :15:56.

:15:56. > :16:02.BBC staff - to carry the Olympic Hello, I am Alec Collyer and I I am

:16:02. > :16:05.a editor here in Plymouth, I am really excited to run with the

:16:05. > :16:08.Olympic torch on behalf of the BBC It was last August at the

:16:08. > :16:12.Corporation launched its search to find two members of staff who could

:16:12. > :16:17.make a real difference in their committed -- who had made a real

:16:17. > :16:25.difference. He is a founder member of the Dartmoor search and rescue

:16:25. > :16:30.team. We are out training every Wednesday and we respond 24/7, 365.

:16:30. > :16:34.We have had call-outs on Christmas Day. It was this huge commitment

:16:34. > :16:38.that was recognised by his employer. The work he does for the rescue

:16:38. > :16:42.group is so important for this part of the world and I know that he can

:16:42. > :16:49.be liable to be called out at any time of day and night. He gives up

:16:49. > :16:52.so much of his time. It takes hours of training but I know that his

:16:52. > :16:55.passion is ordinary people, tourists, people who live here and

:16:55. > :17:02.so they can get out on to that wonderful environment and enjoy it

:17:02. > :17:06.safely. Alec's getting ready to run part of the torch relay on the 27

:17:06. > :17:11.per of May and it is fair to say he is looking forward to it. How many

:17:11. > :17:18.times have the Olympics come to Britain? How many chances do we get

:17:18. > :17:20.to run with the taut? Fabulous. -- with the torch.

:17:20. > :17:23.The Devon modern pentathlete Heather Fell has been modelling

:17:23. > :17:26.Team GB's 2012 competition kit. The launch at the Tower of London today

:17:26. > :17:32.showcased the new kit which has been designed by Stella McCartney.

:17:32. > :17:36.Heather's still unsure whether she's made the Olympic squad.

:17:36. > :17:42.might be why I am not as excited to put it on, I do not want to allow

:17:42. > :17:46.myself, we do not know if we are all there. That is what I am

:17:46. > :17:49.working towards. It is completely a six way race still.

:17:49. > :17:51.BBC South West has unveiled its coverage for the Olympics this

:17:51. > :17:54.summer. Highlights of our coverage will include a special extra half-

:17:54. > :17:57.hour programme from Weymouth on 12th July when the Olympic torch

:17:57. > :18:00.relay arrives in the town, as well as coverage on Spotlight and BBC

:18:00. > :18:04.local radio of the torch as it travels through the South West

:18:04. > :18:07.after its arrival in Cornwall on 19th May. During the Olympics

:18:07. > :18:12.itself we will bring you special programmes from Weymouth, where the

:18:12. > :18:15.sailing events take place. In football, it's transfer deadline

:18:15. > :18:20.day for loan signings and Exeter City and Plymouth Argyle have

:18:20. > :18:25.bolstered their attacking options as they bid to avoid relegation.

:18:25. > :18:27.Paul Tisdale has signed Alan Gow who's a former Plymouth striker.

:18:27. > :18:30.He's recently been released by Notts County. City have also

:18:30. > :18:33.brought in Shamrock Rovers midfielder Rohan Ricketts. Argyle

:18:33. > :18:37.have swooped for Bournemouth veteran Steve Fletcher, who's spent

:18:37. > :18:43.17 years there. The 39-year-old joins the Pilgrims on loan until

:18:43. > :18:48.the end of the season. Exeter Chiefs have announced that

:18:48. > :18:50.top point-scorer Ignacio Mieres has signed a new contract at Sandy Park.

:18:50. > :18:53.The 24-year-old Argentinean international, who's scored 240

:18:53. > :19:03.points this season, has agreed to stay with the Chiefs until the

:19:03. > :19:07.

:19:07. > :19:12.summer of 2014. I think the club has big projects for the future. I

:19:12. > :19:16.think we can be a lot better than what we are doing today. We are

:19:16. > :19:20.doing OK right now but we can be a lot better still. I think we should

:19:20. > :19:25.be pushing towards that. Work has started to restore a once-

:19:25. > :19:28.magnificent stately home in Dorset. Part of Sherborne House dates back

:19:28. > :19:30.to Tudor times, but for the last 10 years the people of Sherborne

:19:30. > :19:40.haven't been able to see the Grade 1-listed building. Spotlight's
