:00:16. > :00:19.after bacteria was found in the supply. Good evening. South West

:00:19. > :00:29.Water is still trying to trace the source of the contamination. It's

:00:29. > :00:33.

:00:33. > :00:37.left customers frustrated and angry. Pull their finger out and do

:00:37. > :00:41.something about it, let's bring this to a conclusion. I'll be talking

:00:41. > :00:51.South West Water to find out what's being done to get supplies back to

:00:51. > :00:54.

:00:54. > :00:58.normal. Also tonight, a family speak for the first time about whether

:00:58. > :01:01.they can bring charges against four police officers. And Plymouth based

:01:01. > :01:05.Olympic swimming champion Ruta Meilutyte is hot favourite to take

:01:05. > :01:08.the World Title in Barcelona. People in parts of St Ives in West

:01:08. > :01:12.Cornwall have been told they must continue to boil their water because

:01:12. > :01:15.a reservoir is contaminated. South West Water says it has found higher

:01:15. > :01:18.than normal levels of bacteria in the reservoir which serves parts of

:01:18. > :01:23.St Ives, Carbis Bay, and Lelant. We'll speak to the company's head of

:01:23. > :01:30.drinking water in a moment, first this report from David George.

:01:30. > :01:36.Sunshine, sand, but for the last two days, and ordered to boil water in

:01:36. > :01:41.some parts of the town. It is the holiday season with an extra 40,000

:01:41. > :01:49.people in Saint Ives. Business leaders are worried about the

:01:49. > :01:54.impression that the drinking water order gaps. I am getting more and

:01:54. > :02:01.more concerned about the situation. I want a satisfactory end so that we

:02:01. > :02:07.can continue trading confidently. I want South West water to pull their

:02:07. > :02:12.finger out, do something about it, bring this to a conclusion.

:02:12. > :02:18.company say they have found higher than normal levels of bacteria and

:02:19. > :02:26.this reservoir. The problem for South West water is finding out how

:02:26. > :02:36.the bacteria got into the reservoir. It is a large sealed tank. Nearby is

:02:36. > :02:36.

:02:36. > :02:42.a park where 800 caravanners have to boil their water supplies. The main

:02:42. > :02:46.problem has been informing everybody. You cannot drink the

:02:46. > :02:53.water or use it for brushing your teeth. Needs to be boiled before you

:02:53. > :03:00.do anything with it. South West water say that as well as giving the

:03:00. > :03:08.notice they have increased the coordination of the water. --

:03:08. > :03:14.chlorine levels. And they have told the BBC that they will offer

:03:14. > :03:18.compensation to anybody who has received a boiled water notice. The

:03:18. > :03:21.company has apologised for the disruption. Well earlier I spoke to

:03:21. > :03:26.James King from South West Water. I asked him how much progress had been

:03:26. > :03:31.made in identifying the source of the contamination. In terms of the

:03:31. > :03:41.investigation we have August on the reservoir supplying the area affect

:03:41. > :03:42.

:03:42. > :03:49.that. -- we have focused on. It is rainwater that has probably carried

:03:49. > :03:52.the bacteria although this has yet to be confirmed. We are continuing

:03:52. > :04:01.investigations and when they are completed we can confirm the exact

:04:01. > :04:05.cause of the problem. Presumably that is a sealed and safe area where

:04:05. > :04:12.water is stored and contamination should not be possible. How could

:04:12. > :04:19.something like that happen? I would say that our customers enjoy

:04:19. > :04:24.regularly a good drinking water quality. We are amongst the best in

:04:24. > :04:34.the industry in this country. This is a very real event but we are

:04:34. > :04:39.

:04:39. > :04:44.taking it seriously. How much longer will it take to clear the system?

:04:44. > :04:49.are working as hard as we can with teams on the ground. I would like to

:04:49. > :04:52.think within the next two days we would be back to normal but clearly

:04:52. > :05:01.that is subject to investigation is being completed and tests in carried

:05:01. > :05:10.out. We will then confirmed to our customers. We will do so

:05:10. > :05:18.individually. Businesses and individuals will spend money, buying

:05:18. > :05:27.water in, boiling kettles, will there be compensation? We will

:05:27. > :05:32.follow that up after the incident is resolved. Customers can rest assured

:05:32. > :05:36.that there will be compensation but August at the moment is on resolving

:05:36. > :05:41.the problem in getting things back to normal. -- the focus at the

:05:41. > :05:45.moment. Four Devon and Cornwall police

:05:45. > :05:48.officers could face criminal charges over the death of a man in custody.

:05:48. > :05:51.Thomas Orchard, who was 32 and a church caretaker, died after

:05:51. > :05:55.collapsing in a police cell in Exeter last October. Prosecutors are

:05:55. > :05:58.now considering the case. In their first interview, Mr Orchard's family

:05:58. > :06:08.told Spotlight they welcome the move. Our home affairs correspondent

:06:08. > :06:10.Simon Hall reports. Thomas or chopped's family say that they are

:06:10. > :06:18.relieved the investigation is progressing but the announcement

:06:18. > :06:22.like today's brings back difficult memories. He was in intensive care

:06:23. > :06:28.for one week and it was the most difficult week of my life. It was

:06:28. > :06:38.the toughest week of the family have ever had to face. We really live

:06:38. > :06:39.

:06:39. > :06:44.that every time an announcement takes place. -- real life. One hour

:06:44. > :06:54.after being arrested Thomas Orchard was found collapsed in a sale. He

:06:54. > :06:55.

:06:55. > :07:01.was taken to hospital but did not regain consciousness. A fail on the

:07:01. > :07:06.case has been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service. -- file. It

:07:06. > :07:15.asks whether charges should be brought against Cormack officers,

:07:15. > :07:20.two civilian staff, and a staff nurse. Mr Orchard suffered from

:07:20. > :07:29.schizophrenia but the family say he was recovering and living an

:07:29. > :07:34.independent life. We want justice. We do not know the reasons why he

:07:34. > :07:41.did stop it is important that we understand that. And just as

:07:41. > :07:44.important that the police learn what has happened. It is very important

:07:44. > :07:50.for our understanding of what happened to him, but nothing can

:07:50. > :07:57.bring him back. But the understanding seems to help as we

:07:57. > :08:01.slowly pieced together the picture. Churchgoers said Mr Orchard was a

:08:02. > :08:06.quiet and gentle man who was much liked. Devon and Cornwall police

:08:06. > :08:09.would not comment. The company which wants to develop a

:08:09. > :08:12.new tungsten mine at Hemerdon near Plymouth says that the owners of

:08:12. > :08:16.thirteen out of fifteen properties have now agreed the terms to move

:08:16. > :08:19.out so mining can begin. There's sadness among some of those who are

:08:19. > :08:29.leaving and concerns about what the development will mean for the area.

:08:29. > :08:29.

:08:29. > :08:34.Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports. After nearly five

:08:35. > :08:44.decades, this family home is being closed up to make way for a new mine

:08:44. > :08:52.which a company want to develop on the outskirts of Plimpton. We know

:08:52. > :09:00.that it is a mining area. There is nothing we can do. The family have

:09:00. > :09:06.lived with the possibility of a mine for much of their lives. 20 years

:09:06. > :09:11.ago a Canadian company wanted to mine. But it fizzled out. We thought

:09:11. > :09:21.the same thing would happen this time. We paid for that. It was not

:09:21. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:25.to be. The garden has grown up close to the disused mine and has been a

:09:25. > :09:34.haven for wildlife but the people who look after it say that will now

:09:34. > :09:44.change. It is heartbreaking. This is like a mini party base. All manner

:09:44. > :09:47.

:09:47. > :09:56.of fantastic way of life. -- a mini paradise. Mining clearly has an

:09:56. > :10:03.impact but the positive side as we create jobs. We work very closely

:10:03. > :10:11.with the environmental agency. Hopefully if we get this right,

:10:11. > :10:15.people will dry past and not even realise that a mine is there.

:10:15. > :10:25.family have spent a happy life time here but now must be up to leave the

:10:25. > :10:28.

:10:28. > :10:31.family home. More than 1700 people in the

:10:31. > :10:34.Teignbridge area of Devon who had been hoping for social housing have

:10:34. > :10:37.been told they're being removed from the waiting list. The council is

:10:37. > :10:41.changing the way it allocates the houses and says the people being

:10:41. > :10:45.removed from the list are now deemed to have no housing need. John

:10:45. > :10:52.Henderson reports. Barbara and after say that they are lucky when it

:10:52. > :10:58.comes to social housing. -- Arthur. Because of their medical conditions

:10:58. > :11:02.they were assessed as having medium needs but despite that they still

:11:02. > :11:11.had to wait three years for this comfortable bungalow close to their

:11:11. > :11:17.family and a far cry from where they left before. It was so depressing.

:11:17. > :11:27.We could not go anywhere or do anything. It was awful. There are

:11:27. > :11:28.

:11:28. > :11:38.five housing needs bands in Devon. In Cambridge at the moment there are

:11:38. > :11:47.

:11:47. > :11:57.one housing 700 people in the lowest band. -- M Teignbridge, there are

:11:57. > :12:00.

:12:00. > :12:04.1,700 people. I don't think this helps. It is tea and sympathy.

:12:04. > :12:14.4500 people on the waiting list the council say that they can only place

:12:14. > :12:18.

:12:18. > :12:21.resources where they are most How to keep children safe when

:12:21. > :12:24.swimming in the sea. The RNLI is offering youngsters lessons in

:12:24. > :12:33.dealing with difficult conditions. And learning on the job - the

:12:33. > :12:36.volunteers being taught how to build detailed report on unemployment

:12:36. > :12:39.among teenagers in the Bay, which is amongst the highest in the country.

:12:39. > :12:42.It concludes that schools are not preparing their students well enough

:12:42. > :12:45.for the world of work and there isn't enough emphasis on

:12:45. > :12:48.employability skills such as literacy, numeracy and job

:12:48. > :12:51.interviewing. In Torbay the number of 18 to 24-year-olds claiming job

:12:51. > :13:01.seekers allowance in 2012 was 10.6%, compared with 6.2% in the rest of

:13:01. > :13:14.

:13:15. > :13:22.the southwest and 8.3% nationally. Leigh Rundle reports. Up until

:13:22. > :13:29.recently these young people fitted the bill perfectly. Under 22 and

:13:29. > :13:34.claiming jobseeker's allowance. What went wrong? At college they train

:13:34. > :13:44.you up and get the money then say, see you later. We are left in the

:13:44. > :13:47.

:13:47. > :13:51.dark. Now it is a different story thanks to good careers advice.

:13:51. > :13:58.have brought out all the positives that I could bring. I feel a lot

:13:58. > :14:04.more confident. It has built up myself esteem. It is not that

:14:04. > :14:11.students is your have not got good grades, it is whether the courses

:14:11. > :14:21.they choose help them find work. Some of the courses were not

:14:21. > :14:24.

:14:24. > :14:29.fulfilling that at all. We have had courses were just trying to keep

:14:29. > :14:34.youngsters in there, but not preparing them for the of work.

:14:34. > :14:39.rolling young people and training courses to keep pace with government

:14:39. > :14:45.targets is never going to be a long-term solution. Identifying

:14:45. > :14:48.vocational training in areas where real jobs exist, well. The priority

:14:48. > :14:53.for the Council must be to look for opportunities for young people to

:14:53. > :14:56.find sustainable employment. This week marks the first

:14:56. > :14:59.anniversary of the arrival of the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics in the

:14:59. > :15:03.biggest venue outside London. Before the eyes of the world were trained

:15:03. > :15:06.on Weymouth and Portland for the sailing, BBC Spotlight spoke to a

:15:06. > :15:09.local school, a theatre and an athletics club about the benefits

:15:09. > :15:13.they hoped a global event on the doorstep might bring. One year on

:15:13. > :15:23.Our Dorset reporter Simon Clemison has been back to see if their hopes

:15:23. > :15:27.

:15:27. > :15:32.of an Olympic legacy have been fulfilled. You are looking at the

:15:32. > :15:41.delighted faces of the children who gathered in 2005 two year that they

:15:41. > :15:47.would grow up in an Olympic town. They were promised a lasting legacy

:15:47. > :15:54.- have they got one? This school promises a link to the games as the

:15:54. > :16:01.building was first used by the sailors. The youngsters met some of

:16:01. > :16:09.the stars. I caught up with the man who helped deliver the Olympics here

:16:09. > :16:13.and now works with the pupils. has had a fantastic impact. That

:16:13. > :16:22.Olympian spirit has created inspiration. Youngsters are up for

:16:22. > :16:26.it. But has that translated into participation in sport? Membership

:16:26. > :16:33.at this athletics club has increased but it is unclear if that is because

:16:33. > :16:36.of the Olympics. But attitudes have changed. There are more people

:16:36. > :16:40.associated with the club who are serious about better facilities for

:16:40. > :16:49.our young will so that they have a partner with other parts of the

:16:49. > :16:52.county. 2012 was also meant to inspire a cultural scene. This

:16:52. > :17:02.pavilion was in need of inspiration and a community group has just taken

:17:02. > :17:08.over. Bookings are coming and and the footfall has increased. That is

:17:08. > :17:13.because of the advertising effect on coverage of the Olympics. Legacy

:17:13. > :17:21.system Rachel over many years so it will be sometime before the question

:17:21. > :17:26.of what the games that for Dorset is answered. -- legacies stretch over

:17:26. > :17:30.many years. Most children leave school being

:17:30. > :17:33.able to swim but how many are really prepared for a dip in the sea?

:17:33. > :17:36.Lifeboat crews say even the most experienced swimmers can be caught

:17:36. > :17:38.out. At least 50 people have been rescued off Cornwall's coastline in

:17:39. > :17:42.the last fortnight, and yesterday lifegaurds in Devon rescued eight

:17:42. > :17:45.youngsters caught in a rip current at Bantham Beach. Now the RNLI in

:17:45. > :17:50.Cornwall is offering lessons in how youngsters can cope with colder

:17:50. > :17:54.water and dangerous currents. John Maguire reports. School may be out

:17:54. > :18:04.for summer but that these children are learning lessons that may save

:18:04. > :18:05.

:18:05. > :18:11.their lives. For the very first time, the governing body of swimming

:18:11. > :18:21.has teamed up with the coastal life guards of the RNLI for a scheme cold

:18:21. > :18:27.

:18:27. > :18:37.swimming safe. -- called. The main difference between a swimming pool

:18:37. > :18:42.and a beach, the cold. Does that feel warm? That is because you are

:18:42. > :18:49.keeping busy in your body. It is the most important thing these children

:18:49. > :18:55.will learn. Dealing with the cold. Many people who are comfortable in

:18:55. > :19:02.their local pool, as soon as they get in the cold water, that is part

:19:02. > :19:09.of the lesson. That is the difference. The lessons last 40

:19:09. > :19:13.minutes and are suited to the sea pool here. Children can swim in the

:19:13. > :19:23.sea water but in controlled environment. They all seemed very

:19:23. > :19:25.

:19:25. > :19:35.impressed. We learned how to signal for help. And how to swim when you

:19:35. > :19:38.

:19:38. > :19:46.add in heavy clothing. You get tired and very easily. I enjoyed dodging

:19:46. > :19:56.jellyfish! This is a pilot scheme that may be rolled out in other

:19:56. > :19:57.

:19:57. > :20:00.community education centre - what better way to do it than to use the

:20:00. > :20:03.community and teach them while you're at it! Yes around 50

:20:03. > :20:05.volunteers will be working on the project all this week, on a

:20:05. > :20:15.beautiful 50-acre site next to Haldon Forest near Exeter.

:20:35. > :20:44.fantastic. Things you do naturally as a Child will stop it is almost

:20:44. > :20:54.like playing, but you are building something. They are learning how to

:20:54. > :20:55.

:20:55. > :21:00.make up render. This is what they did in the old days. No machines.

:21:01. > :21:07.Hands and feet. They are doing very good. They all have different

:21:07. > :21:15.reasons for wanting to help. I am interested in sustainability and I

:21:15. > :21:19.would like to learn more skills. love doing real stuff. I work in an

:21:19. > :21:29.office. In my spare time I want to do as much practical stuff as

:21:29. > :21:32.possible. Other than the volunteer was the bulk of the work is done by

:21:32. > :21:39.a building company employing former drug addicts and offenders to give

:21:39. > :21:46.them a second chance. It is about building people as much as building

:21:46. > :21:51.the building. They have gone through the clear system, prison, claim,

:21:51. > :21:57.various hopelessness, they do not get given a second or third chance.

:21:57. > :22:04.But if they can be given that chance on a deeper or more involved level,

:22:04. > :22:10.you can get great results. I have been out of prison for eight years.

:22:10. > :22:17.I have been working on this scheme for three years. I was into drugs,

:22:17. > :22:21.all sorts of claim. This has helped me to my waves around. I have got

:22:48. > :22:52.the World Swimming Championships. -- Plymouth student. She could break

:22:52. > :23:02.the world record that she set just last night, has she got what it

:23:02. > :23:07.takes? Yes is the unequivocal answer. She proved it in the

:23:07. > :23:16.Olympics coming from nowhere to win a gold medal. And last night,

:23:16. > :23:18.breaking the world record. She has got the Olympic title and the world

:23:18. > :23:24.record, in the matter of just a couple of minutes she could you

:23:30. > :23:38.Her coach at Plymouth College says she could be the fastest in the

:23:38. > :23:48.world this year and the fastest of all time. He says he expects her to

:23:48. > :23:48.

:23:49. > :23:57.win gold to mate. She is the hot favourite. -- tonight. I would be

:23:57. > :24:03.very surprised if she does not win gold. And we have just held that she

:24:03. > :24:13.has won gold. We can bring your pictures of the race from roughly

:24:13. > :24:14.

:24:14. > :24:20.halfway through. We can confirm that she is the world champion. We are

:24:20. > :24:28.hoping to get these pictures from Barcelona. And hopefully another

:24:28. > :24:38.world record. She is gaining and -- strength and confidence all the

:24:38. > :24:39.

:24:39. > :24:45.time. The we are. Let's look at the time. She has not got the

:24:45. > :24:51.world-record tonight, last night was enough. But another gold medal for

:24:51. > :25:00.Plymouth College. The Lithuanian swimmer, Olympic champion and now

:25:00. > :25:04.world champion. We got that in by world champion. We got that in by

:25:04. > :25:11.the skin of our teeth. And now the the skin of our teeth. And now

:25:11. > :25:21.Temperatures are on the rise but so is this humidity. It will feel close

:25:21. > :25:24.

:25:24. > :25:27.and tomorrow looks set to be quite a mistake there. -- misty day. All

:25:27. > :25:35.that moisture coming from the tropics heading our way in the next

:25:35. > :25:42.20 four hours. Clothing over, and by the small hours of the morning we

:25:42. > :25:52.will see patchy rain. -- clouding. Quite a breeze along the south

:25:52. > :25:55.

:25:55. > :26:03.coast. Southerly wind drawing in the warm air from France and Spain.

:26:03. > :26:13.Dorset and Somerset, the temperatures could reach 27 Celsius.

:26:13. > :26:15.

:26:15. > :26:24.Some clear sky initially tonight but the cloud will thicken later on.

:26:24. > :26:30.Some low cloud and messed along the south coast. -- missed. Tomorrow

:26:30. > :26:40.will be a damp start with outbreaks of rain. Remaining that way for much

:26:40. > :26:40.
