The knock on effect of the Brittany Ferries strike as local businesses

:00:11.:00:21.
:00:21.:00:21.

begin to suffer. In our industry, the costs are a big problem to West

:00:21.:00:26.

that moment. Fuel and general running costs, and this on top is

:00:26.:00:31.

bad news. Good evening. Haulage firms say the

:00:31.:00:34.

dispute could cause long term damage. We'll have the latest from

:00:34.:00:37.

France. Also tonight: cutting benefits. The

:00:37.:00:40.

Lib Dem's say free bus passes, TV licences and other allowances may

:00:40.:00:41.

be scrapped for the wealthiest pensioners.

:00:41.:00:44.

And under pressure, a dramatic increase in the number of doctors

:00:44.:00:52.

Four days of talks and still no agreement to end the strike by

:00:52.:00:55.

French workers on Brittany ferries. All services are cancelled until at

:00:55.:00:57.

least tomorrow lunchtime as the dispute over pay and conditions

:00:57.:01:04.

rumbles on. Hundreds of people have had their

:01:04.:01:07.

travel arrangements turned upside down, and as we'll hear in a moment

:01:07.:01:09.

business trying to deliver local goods to the continent have also

:01:09.:01:12.

had to re-think their journeys. But as John Ayres reports from Roscoff,

:01:12.:01:15.

many passengers have now bitten the bullet and have started making

:01:15.:01:21.

their way to Calais in order to get back home.

:01:21.:01:25.

Enough is enough. A number of Brittany ferries passengers had

:01:25.:01:30.

chosen to sit the strike out, in the hope of eventually coming home.

:01:30.:01:35.

But feel this could go on and on, they decided it is time to go.

:01:35.:01:38.

Yesterday, we featured Roger and Susan, who felt they were not fit

:01:38.:01:43.

enough to drive. They decided they've got no choice. I find it

:01:43.:01:48.

difficult to drive and as you can see, I'm using a stick today. I

:01:48.:01:52.

cannot stand for long anyway. I have to hope we make it all right.

:01:53.:01:57.

If we stay any longer, we are not - - they are not going to stay for

:01:57.:02:02.

the rooms. We are going to stop and stay in a hotel tonight and then go

:02:02.:02:06.

on the ferry tomorrow. And we might have to stop on the way home from

:02:06.:02:14.

Dover. The drive is such a long way. The dispute is about proposals to

:02:14.:02:17.

change working hours. Brittany Ferries say they have to make

:02:17.:02:20.

changes because of losses caused by exchange-rate fluctuations and

:02:21.:02:26.

rising fuel costs. John and Eve were also sitting it out. They've

:02:26.:02:33.

decided to take the 700 mile route home of fire caliph. This has

:02:33.:02:42.

tainted it home -- painted it for as this time. We feel abandoned. We

:02:42.:02:45.

will extend our holiday but we have already been here too long and we

:02:45.:02:50.

should be home. A lot of elderly people are still here. They are

:02:50.:02:54.

hoping that the ferries will run for stop we really don't think they

:02:54.:02:59.

will. It is distressing to see other people in this situation.

:02:59.:03:04.

It's a huge drive home for people caught in the south-west -- from

:03:04.:03:08.

the South West but the uncertainty has left them with no choice.

:03:08.:03:10.

The dispute isn't just affecting people on holiday. Scores of

:03:10.:03:13.

businesses in the region rely on the ferry link to import and export

:03:14.:03:16.

their goods. Haulage firms are dealing with a logistical nightmare

:03:16.:03:19.

as they search for alternative routes with some warning that if

:03:19.:03:22.

the dispute drags on it could have damaging consequences in the long

:03:22.:03:26.

term. John Henderson has been to see how one firm is coping with the

:03:26.:03:34.

on going strike. Loading up with marmalade. It is

:03:34.:03:38.

one of the goods are often taken to France by this haulage company.

:03:38.:03:43.

Over half its business is in Brittany. The ferry dispute is

:03:43.:03:48.

costing the firm money. This is a headache. In our industry, costs on

:03:48.:03:52.

a big problem to was at the moment. You have this on top of it is bad

:03:52.:03:59.

news. I calculated, we had to trucks leaving on Sunday but

:03:59.:04:02.

instead of going from Plymouth to Roscoff, they had to go to

:04:02.:04:07.

Portsmouth, back to Britain. Add the extra time and diesel, but

:04:07.:04:14.

that's about �650 extra per truck. In the office, Mike and his team

:04:14.:04:18.

are used to tracking orders. The firm has a fleet of 12 lorries. The

:04:18.:04:25.

strike has made keeping across the logistics are even harder. Give me

:04:25.:04:34.

a couple of minutes... Peter has seen the dispute professionally and

:04:34.:04:37.

personally. He missed a day's work when his Ferrie home from France

:04:37.:04:40.

was cancelled, forcing him to stay in a hotel and then drive hundreds

:04:40.:04:46.

of miles. It was a major hassle. It ruined the end of my holiday. You

:04:46.:04:49.

work hard all year, look forward to your holidays and that happens at

:04:49.:04:59.
:04:59.:05:02.

the end of it. It has remained the relaxing week I did have. This

:05:02.:05:07.

business is having a difficult time. 85 % of what we carry ends up in

:05:07.:05:14.

the supermarkets. That is the import side. We export goods into

:05:14.:05:19.

Europe as well. In today's market, the Chancellor tells us exports are

:05:19.:05:23.

an important part of making the economy work again. If we got no

:05:23.:05:33.
:05:33.:05:36.

ferries, we will struggle. At the Other news: detectives

:05:36.:05:39.

investigating the alleged rape of a woman in Exeter during the early

:05:39.:05:42.

hours of this morning are appealing for the public's help. It's thought

:05:42.:05:45.

she was attacked in a walkway in the city centre, between Sidwell

:05:45.:05:48.

Street and King William Street. The area has been cordoned off while

:05:48.:05:51.

police continue with their inquiries.

:05:51.:05:54.

A ship involved in the recovery of tons of silver from a wreck, lying

:05:54.:05:57.

three miles beneath the surface of the Atlantic, has docked in

:05:57.:06:04.

Falmouth. The Seabed Worker has been adapted with high-tech

:06:04.:06:07.

equipment to work at the wreck site 300 miles south west of Ireland.

:06:08.:06:10.

Odyssey Marine Exploration has a contract from the UK government to

:06:10.:06:15.

recover the silver, worth many millions of pounds. The wrecked

:06:15.:06:17.

steamship, SS Gairsoppa, was torpeadoed by a U-boat in the

:06:17.:06:23.

second world war. The Liberal Democrat leader Nick

:06:23.:06:26.

Clegg has indicated that in future his party might look at ending

:06:26.:06:29.

universal benefits for the elderly. That would include things such as

:06:29.:06:33.

free bus passes, the winter fuel allowance and free TV licences. Our

:06:33.:06:41.

political editor is with us now. Is this a bolt from the blue?

:06:41.:06:44.

Not really. Today Nick Clegg alluded to a discussion when the

:06:44.:06:48.

coalition formed on this issue. The Conservatives were dead against it.

:06:48.:06:51.

He said for the lifetime of this Parliament, he agrees there should

:06:51.:06:54.

be no change but looking to the future, it's difficult to defend

:06:54.:07:00.

somebody like Alan Sugar are getting a free bus pass.

:07:00.:07:05.

Millionaires in this country, though, perhaps not during this

:07:05.:07:10.

Parliament, but in the future will, much in the spirit I'm saying but

:07:10.:07:13.

the people of considerable wealth want to make a contribution, will

:07:13.:07:17.

also say that they be they should give up some of those universal

:07:17.:07:22.

entitlements to help people who are less lucky them them. Some people

:07:22.:07:27.

in his party want him to move fast on this. By spoke to a couple of

:07:27.:07:33.

our MPs. -- I spoke. They say that they also think this is worth

:07:33.:07:37.

having a look at, as long as the only losers are people who are too

:07:37.:07:40.

rich to need these things. On the other side of the argument, there

:07:40.:07:45.

are people who say there is more to universal benefits than Duchess's

:07:45.:07:48.

spending their winter fuel allowance on champagne. Charities

:07:48.:07:55.

like age UK say that he should think again. Age UK would say event.

:07:55.:08:00.

What we would say is that universal benefits are there to help all the

:08:00.:08:05.

people -- older people in the country. If you tinker with them

:08:05.:08:08.

and juice means testing which is expensive, we will see lots of

:08:08.:08:18.
:08:18.:08:18.

older people with needs slip through the rent. -- the net. If we

:08:18.:08:22.

go to a means tested system, that is going to be exactly the same for

:08:22.:08:28.

millions more. We posted this story on our Facebook pages earlier and

:08:28.:08:31.

we had a lot of comments. Gordon says, why not just kill them all

:08:31.:08:41.
:08:41.:08:42.

off at 65? For wealthy maintain -- the wealthy older people are being

:08:42.:08:46.

abandoned. Colin says, far better to tax the wealthy, which they went

:08:46.:08:51.

of course, than cut benefits to pensioners. The form said, what

:08:51.:08:55.

they don't seem to understand is that these were of the pensioners

:08:55.:08:59.

are the ones who've worked hard, paid their taxes and national

:08:59.:09:03.

insurance and been careful. So guess what, let's penalise them now.

:09:03.:09:06.

They have reached an age where they should be enjoying themselves.

:09:06.:09:16.

Colin says, and a pensioner. I wish I was a wealthy one!

:09:16.:09:18.

The diggers have moved onto Trafalgar roundabout in Truro at

:09:18.:09:27.

the start of a massive roadworks scheme to improve traffic flow.

:09:27.:09:30.

It'll take a year and is costing �2.2 million. The central island's

:09:30.:09:33.

being made smaller and an extra lane's being added. Pedestrian

:09:33.:09:35.

crossings and junctions are being improved. The works will be carried

:09:35.:09:41.

out during the night. Tests have begun to find out what

:09:41.:09:43.

effect dredging a deeper channel into Falmouth port would have on

:09:43.:09:46.

sea life. Falmouth Harbour Commissioners claim the work is

:09:46.:09:49.

needed to secure the future of the port. Protestors say the scheme

:09:49.:09:51.

will damage the environment and hit fishermen. David George reports

:09:51.:09:56.

from Falmouth Docks. Dredging of Falmouth Docks is

:09:56.:10:02.

finally under way. This is a trial dredge, an experiment. The top 30

:10:02.:10:06.

centimetres or one foot of the sea bed is an important habitat for

:10:06.:10:11.

many creatures. Here, it's been scraped off and then stored for 12

:10:11.:10:15.

hours on a barge. Then the material as the creatures that live in it

:10:15.:10:21.

are being returned to the sea bed. The pointers is to see whether the

:10:21.:10:25.

habitat and the animal live in it, well it -- whether they can be put

:10:25.:10:29.

on a barge and then put back in place. It's the top surface of the

:10:29.:10:32.

habitat which is most important. This is the bit that is protected.

:10:32.:10:39.

The idea is that if we can do this, dredgers in future can use this

:10:39.:10:44.

process to hold the top surface of the habitat and then dig, take this

:10:44.:10:49.

sediment below and relay this very important top surface of the seabed.

:10:49.:10:52.

From of Harbour Commissioners say a deeper channel to the docks is

:10:52.:10:56.

vital for the future of the port. They want bigger cruise ships to be

:10:56.:10:59.

able to come alongside, to avoid the need for passengers to come

:10:59.:11:03.

ashore in small boats. And they want to be able to get bigger

:11:03.:11:08.

vessels and the docks for ship repair. Protesters, including

:11:08.:11:12.

commercial fishermen, are worried about the effects of thousands of

:11:12.:11:17.

drugs -- tonnes of dredged soil. They also say council money should

:11:17.:11:22.

not be used to pay for the project. And that the dredging will damage

:11:22.:11:27.

the environment of what is a Special Area of Conservation. They

:11:27.:11:30.

believe the trial dredge is inadequate. The problem with the

:11:30.:11:36.

trial is that it is small scale. At very short term. Critically, and

:11:36.:11:40.

like a full-scale trade, there are not many thousands of tons of silt

:11:40.:11:48.

suspended in the sediment being washed and settling. We wanted to

:11:49.:11:51.

ask the commission is about that and several other aspects of the

:11:51.:11:55.

project but they declined to take part in any interviews with BBC

:11:55.:12:01.

Television. Once the experiment will dredge is over, scientists

:12:01.:12:04.

will come back here in five weeks and again in six months' time, to

:12:04.:12:08.

check the effects on seabed creatures. Their report will be

:12:08.:12:11.

sent to the Government's Marine the management organisation, which will

:12:11.:12:16.

make the final decision on whether the full-scale dredging of the

:12:16.:12:22.

docks here can go ahead. It's faster, full of safety

:12:22.:12:26.

features and fit for the future. We take to the water with the RNLI as

:12:26.:12:33.

they test drive a new wave of lifeboats.

:12:33.:12:43.

Find out why these are the best in The number of Devon GPs seeking

:12:43.:12:46.

help for stress has increased sharply in the last year. Their

:12:46.:12:48.

professional body blames health service changes and a heavy

:12:48.:12:51.

workload. There's also concern that too few new doctors are going into

:12:51.:12:59.

general practice. I'm joined now by our health correspondent. What is

:12:59.:13:02.

the problem here? In Devon, the body that represents

:13:02.:13:07.

them, says in of the past year there has been a fourfold increase

:13:07.:13:10.

in the number of family doctors coming to them for pastoral support

:13:10.:13:14.

because of stress. One of the reasons his workload, because of a

:13:14.:13:19.

shortage of GPs and the concern is that as GPs retire, there are not

:13:19.:13:21.

enough new dockers are going into general practice. This is something

:13:22.:13:30.

that has been raised in Parliament. We've now got it and -- 12 %

:13:30.:13:34.

vacancy for GPs which was unheard of in years gone by. I think the

:13:34.:13:39.

problem is that we are training to many junior doctors and medical

:13:39.:13:44.

students to going to hospitals where there are vacancies. This has

:13:44.:13:48.

been happening for many years and it is time we address it. We need

:13:48.:13:51.

to get 50 % of doctors coming through medical school and choosing

:13:51.:13:55.

General Practice. Are there other reasons why GPs may be under

:13:55.:13:58.

pressure? The work they do has increased in

:13:58.:14:00.

recent years because we are all living longer and have got more

:14:01.:14:04.

things wrong with us. Also, have got more patients to look after

:14:04.:14:07.

because there is more of an emphasis on people -- keeping

:14:07.:14:11.

people out of hospital and is looking after them in the community.

:14:11.:14:15.

Add that the enormous changes that the health service is going through

:14:15.:14:19.

and the health -- the pressure is piling on the doctors. Doctors'

:14:19.:14:25.

leaders say that the whole combination of these changes and

:14:25.:14:30.

taking over NHS budgets next year, at a time of enormous financial

:14:30.:14:35.

pressure, is going to send more people out of the profession.

:14:35.:14:43.

have been a lot of reports in the press about attacks on pensions. 12

:14:43.:14:48.

and 14 nowadays, and the constant drive for efficiency and lack of

:14:48.:14:55.

funding means GPs are are retiring early or considering alternative

:14:55.:14:59.

careers. She says what is needed is more

:14:59.:15:03.

investment and practices to stop GPs burning out and to prevent a

:15:03.:15:08.

possible recruitment crisis in the future.

:15:08.:15:11.

Clean, green heat for those living and working at Exeter's newest town

:15:11.:15:14.

and business park moved a step closer today. A huge building

:15:14.:15:16.

alongside the old A30 which will eventually house two wood chip

:15:16.:15:19.

boilers, has been completed. Spotlight's Leigh Rundle has been

:15:19.:15:25.

finding how it will eventually heat local homes and businesses.

:15:25.:15:33.

This is the inside of an energy centre. When its new huge by a mass

:15:33.:15:37.

boilers are installed, it will be able to supply renewable energy to

:15:37.:15:43.

the 3500 new homes just have to read. It will also supply the sky

:15:43.:15:48.

park next door. At the other end of things, Sam gets to grips with the

:15:48.:15:52.

control panel. His heating and hot water are currently fuelled by

:15:52.:15:56.

natural gas but all the infrastructure is there in

:15:56.:16:02.

preparation for would waste by a mass. We can see how the basic

:16:02.:16:08.

stuff works. We have got our head around the level so if it goes

:16:08.:16:11.

below a certain temperature, the heating will kick in. In terms of

:16:11.:16:16.

using it for when you want the water to come in, we've not got

:16:16.:16:21.

that stage yet. Generating clean, renewable energy, this centre it

:16:21.:16:25.

makes -- looks set to make this committee will have the lowest

carbon renewable heat that will be distributed to properties and the

business park via a heat and add to it. There will be pipes under the

:16:42.:16:47.

ground taking hot water to all the commercial units and all the

:16:47.:16:50.

properties. Instead of having gas connection, they will have a hot

:16:50.:16:58.

water connection. This ground- breaking heating system will, it's

:16:58.:17:03.

hoped, encourage business growth and the adjacent development.

:17:03.:17:08.

think it will be fantastically attractive to occupiers. It's a

:17:08.:17:11.

unique facility providing low carbon heat. It's one of the first

:17:11.:17:17.

in the country serving in low-rise development. It will give you

:17:17.:17:23.

carbon emissions savings of 80 %. It's truly fantastic and unique, as

:17:23.:17:28.

I say. Doubtless say trail-blazing development but money is tight and

:17:28.:17:31.

for many businesses feeling the pinch, relocation may not be at a

:17:31.:17:37.

top priority. More than 100,000 people have

:17:37.:17:40.

signed an online petition against a trial cull of badgers to tackle

:17:40.:17:43.

bovine TB in the South West. Last week a licence to kill the animals

:17:43.:17:46.

was issued for a pilot cull in Gloucestershire. A second licence

:17:46.:17:50.

for a pilot cull in Somerset is still being considered. The size of

:17:50.:17:58.

the petition means the issue could now be debated in Parliament.

:17:58.:18:01.

Talks are taking place today at door-maker, Leaderflush Shapland,

:18:04.:18:11.

Unions want assurances about how the process will be managed.

:18:11.:18:14.

Now we had lots of emails following yesterday's story on pupils at a

:18:14.:18:17.

Secondary school in Totnes in Devon who are back in uniform yesterday

:18:17.:18:22.

after months of controversy over plans to re-introduce it. Mr James

:18:22.:18:25.

says, if that father who you interviewed is not prepared to send

:18:25.:18:28.

his child to school complying with the school's uniform policy then he

:18:28.:18:31.

should find another school. Jon Wheatley commented on a banner

:18:31.:18:38.

held by protesting pupils. He says, banner shown on the kids' school

:18:38.:18:41.

uniform protest read, all your blazers are belong to us. Little

:18:41.:18:44.

less time protesting, a little more learning perhaps?

:18:44.:18:48.

And John Pepper from Brixham says, I live near a school which adopted

:18:48.:18:51.

a uniform about 12 months ago and the standard of behaviour has

:18:51.:18:57.

improved hugely. Thank you for all of your comments. You can send your

views on any of tonight's topics via email, Twitter or on our

Facebook page. The RNLI has unveiled its new

:19:04.:19:07.

Shannon Class lifeboat today. It uses water jets instead of

:19:07.:19:09.

propellers, which makes it 50% faster, and it's packed with

:19:09.:19:14.

innovations and new safety features. Crews in the South West will be

:19:14.:19:17.

among the first to get their hands on the new boats as they're rolled

:19:17.:19:27.

The boats have a lifespan of 50 years and it is thought during that

time, they will be involved in about 56,000 rescues and save in

project. The computer system allows them to remotely control many of

Plenty of salt and vinegar on mine. There is one in the south-west that

:22:02.:22:07.

I'm afraid I really am. It is back in here tonight but you cannot just

:22:07.:22:11.

-- just cannot beat the smell of fish and chips. It's the truth. All

:22:11.:22:16.

these people in south Devon know the secret that ham breeze is the

best fish and chip shop and the south-west. -- Hanbury. Hello. How

:22:23.:22:27.

have you done it again? This is not the first time we've won this

:22:27.:22:32.

accolade. I know, eight times. As remarkable. And so chuffed with

corset this year. We started in 1988, when we came second. This

:22:42.:22:47.

year, we are hoping to win the whole competition. We have already

got the south-west. From this region it goes to Cornwall, right

:22:51.:23:00.

up to Avon and Wiltshire, down to Dorset. Devon and Cornwall. It's a

:23:00.:23:05.

fantastic achievement. I am really pleased for my staff as well as for

:23:05.:23:09.

myself. Her think the secret question is, what is your special

:23:09.:23:17.

secret? I think. You've got to be dedicated to it. I've been in this

:23:17.:23:22.

for 30 years. You've got to have attention to detail. It got to be a

:23:22.:23:28.

fusspot. I'm a very fussy about everything. I've instilled that

:23:28.:23:32.

into my staff and my staff are very, very conscientious about giving

:23:32.:23:38.

people good fish and chips. That is it, really. Experience comes into

it. Some of my people have been with me for a long time and that

helps to create the best fish and chip shop. A thank you for joining

us tonight. David and the team will not find out until next year if

they have won the national award. So fingers crossed for them.
