:00:12. > :00:15."Potential nuclear implications"; concerns over safety at Devonport

:00:15. > :00:21.after power to cool reactors was lost for 90 minutes. Good evening.

:00:22. > :00:25.The incident happened last July but the details have only just emerged.

:00:25. > :00:34.Local residents and MPs are now demanding to know why they weren't

:00:34. > :00:38.told sooner. We need our people in Plymouth to keep their faith in the

:00:38. > :00:49.dockyard and in the Royal Navy bearer and we can only do that if

:00:49. > :00:52.they are a bit more open. The care homes exposed by whistle—blowers.

:00:52. > :00:56.Nicholas and Anna Chapman were told to improve their homes — the city

:00:56. > :00:59.council removed the residents. And the operations being cancelled at

:00:59. > :01:07.the last minute because of a bed shortage in Cornwall. The company

:01:07. > :01:09.which runs Devonport Dockyard is tonight under pressure to give

:01:09. > :01:12.assurances over nuclear safety. Babcock has been served with an

:01:12. > :01:15.Improvement Notice by regulators following an number of incidents at

:01:15. > :01:18.Devonport where proper guidelines weren't followed. That comes on top

:01:18. > :01:21.of an incident in July last year which an official report describes

:01:21. > :01:24.as having "potential nuclear implications." There was a complete

:01:24. > :01:27.loss of its nuclear ringmain for more than 90 minutes. That power is

:01:27. > :01:42.vital to cool nuclear reactors. Hamish Marshall is live at

:01:42. > :01:46.Devonport. Nuclear safety incidents are rated on a scale from A being to

:01:46. > :01:50.the most serious to D. This was rated as B. This one happened on the

:01:50. > :01:54.first Sunday of the Olympics last year — but details have been kept

:01:54. > :01:58.secret until now. The city's two MPs want assurances from Babcock Marine

:01:58. > :02:11.and say the company has to allay the concerns of people who live around

:02:11. > :02:15.here. At see their work is mostly unseen, but the refitting and

:02:16. > :02:19.maintenance of Britain's nuclear submarines takes place to thousands

:02:19. > :02:25.of homes and that is why this incident has run so many other

:02:26. > :02:34.bells. Power is vital to ensure that the nuclear reactor is kept cool. On

:02:34. > :02:40.Sunday, July 29 last year, power was lost for 90 minutes. It was due to a

:02:40. > :02:44.defect on the switchboard. Defects on the stand—by generators prevented

:02:45. > :02:52.the immediate resupply. The annual report into nuclear incidents says

:02:52. > :02:58.it was a category Be incident and it had potential nuclear implications.

:02:58. > :03:01.The operators own report found an inability to learn from previous

:03:01. > :03:07.incidents and to implement the recommendations from previous event

:03:07. > :03:11.reports. Why did the back—up knotwork? It did not start. Someone

:03:11. > :03:19.has done the maintenance and someone should check this, but what is

:03:19. > :03:23.happening? Why did it not start? There are bigger questions to be

:03:24. > :03:29.asked. This was the most serious incident last year, but a series of

:03:29. > :03:34.other events were guidelines were not followed has led the regulator

:03:34. > :03:38.to issue an improvement notice. Local MPs say Babcock Marine must

:03:38. > :03:44.explain what went wrong and how it plans to ensure it will not happen

:03:44. > :03:48.again. What we need to understand is why the processes went wrong and

:03:48. > :03:53.what has been done to ensure that further fail safes are in place and

:03:53. > :03:57.that people are following the right safety culture in the dockyard. If

:03:57. > :04:03.they can answer those questions, then I am sure at the public will

:04:03. > :04:08.feel happier. Today, local residents have been seeking reassurance. For

:04:08. > :04:14.this to have come to light at a late stage is a big concern. The time

:04:14. > :04:23.lapse in between it happening and is finding out. It is not right, it is

:04:23. > :04:27.disgusting. They should have notified us right away. Babcock has

:04:27. > :04:32.declined requests for an interview and the MoD says they have agreed to

:04:32. > :04:36.an improvement programme and it says we take all safety concerns

:04:36. > :04:42.extremely seriously, but there is no immediate safety impact. This is the

:04:42. > :04:47.official advice which is given out in the event of a nuclear emergency

:04:47. > :04:51.at the site. It is issued by Plymouth City Council, but they have

:04:51. > :04:55.issued a statement saying it was not directly informed about this

:04:55. > :05:00.incident when it happened last year and the council says it will raise

:05:00. > :05:04.this issue at the highest level and seek assurances and wants to be

:05:04. > :05:09.immediately informed of any future incident. That is what MPs say as

:05:09. > :05:12.well and they say they will be looking at this to see if the

:05:12. > :05:18.improvement notice which has been served and see if it makes a

:05:18. > :05:20.difference. Two care homes which closed after their elderly residents

:05:20. > :05:24.were removed by Plymouth city council were on the brink of being

:05:24. > :05:26.officially closed by the care watchdog, a BBC investigation has

:05:26. > :05:29.found. The Care Quality Commission says the company which ran the homes

:05:29. > :05:33.was "struggling financially". The council says it had to step in with

:05:33. > :05:36.emergency staffing and food after the owners Nicholas and Anna Chapman

:05:36. > :05:50.seemingly "abandoned" the homes. Sam Smith reports. Plymouth Council

:05:50. > :05:55.effectively closed the homes after hearing mounting concerns from

:05:55. > :06:00.relatives and two whistle—blowers, former staff Launa Llewellyn Jones

:06:00. > :06:05.and Rose Parker. There was never any heating in the winter. We would get

:06:05. > :06:14.told to put a blanket over them. Janine Roberts mother was in Park

:06:14. > :06:20.View until she was moved out. One Christmas, a manager at the time

:06:20. > :06:25.said they had to chip in because they had had not had any extras to

:06:25. > :06:32.do a Christmas dinner. They had bought the turkey. The staff bought

:06:32. > :06:36.the turkey? Yes. The homes had been inspected by the Care Quality

:06:36. > :06:40.Commission and had failed certainly cull standards including management

:06:40. > :06:48.of medicines and meeting nutritional needs. The whistle—blowers took me

:06:48. > :06:54.to South View. They were concerned that confidential files were

:06:54. > :07:00.abandoned here. Oh my God! This is appalling. Even the care plans are

:07:00. > :07:07.there. That is private and confidential information. Sue

:07:07. > :07:10.McDonald says the final report published in May appalled her and

:07:11. > :07:20.she thought it would lead to the closure of the home. It did not. The

:07:20. > :07:25.CQC says it believes it did all it could and says that it was taking

:07:25. > :07:30.steps to close the homes. Before it could, Nicholas Chapman took himself

:07:30. > :07:36.off their register. Does that mean he could run a care home again? He

:07:37. > :07:42.could apply to run a care home. We do have a memory and we are well

:07:43. > :07:49.aware of his record. He is not automatically disqualified? No. The

:07:49. > :07:51.Chapmans, directors of Ashley Residential Care Limited have not

:07:51. > :07:58.responded to our letters and phone calls. Sam Smith joins me now. Where

:07:58. > :08:02.are the Chapmans? That is a good question. We would like to ask them

:08:02. > :08:06.why they ran the homes like that and give them a chance to apologise. We

:08:07. > :08:12.are not the only ones who would like to talk to them. They have many

:08:12. > :08:17.creditors, suppliers and former staff would like to speak to them as

:08:17. > :08:24.well. We visited all their addresses and they are not at any of them. How

:08:24. > :08:26.could this have happened? The city council carried out an investigation

:08:26. > :08:30.and said they could not tell residents and their relatives what

:08:30. > :08:38.they were doing because information came to them confidential legal. The

:08:38. > :08:43.Care Quality Commission, that publishes its reports online and the

:08:43. > :08:48.trouble with these homes was that the CQC would go in, point out the

:08:48. > :08:53.problems, the homes would improve for a while, so that they could not

:08:53. > :08:59.be close, but then they would move backwards. The regulator had a job

:08:59. > :09:04.harbouring evidence as well. What is the one thing that people can do to

:09:04. > :09:09.ensure they are choosing a good home? Although the regulator has to

:09:09. > :09:15.dress —— treat some evidence in confidence, it publishes reports

:09:15. > :09:20.online and anyone can read those. At these homes, you could see how many

:09:20. > :09:26.times the regulator was going in and out and how many problems they were

:09:27. > :09:32.finding. Thank you. There is more on that subject in Inside Out South

:09:32. > :09:35.West tonight at 7:30pm. A lack of community health and social care in

:09:35. > :09:38.Cornwall is leading to bed blocking and cancelled operations. Spotlight

:09:38. > :09:41.viewers were among fourteen people who had surgery postponed at the

:09:41. > :09:44.last minute today at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, because there are

:09:44. > :09:48.no beds available. The hospital says some 50 patients are fit to leave

:09:48. > :09:51.but there's nowhere to move them on to, which is causing the shortage of

:09:51. > :10:00.beds. Our Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy is here. What exactly is

:10:00. > :10:05.the situation? Some people have been in touch to say they turned up for a

:10:05. > :10:10.planned operation today only to have it cancelled. One woman had been

:10:10. > :10:16.waiting nine months and she had put elaborate plans in place to keep her

:10:16. > :10:19.business running. And another woman spoke to the anaesthetist and

:10:19. > :10:23.surgeon and even had a cannula inserted in her hand and then she

:10:23. > :10:32.was told that there were no beds free. I am not getting paid and I

:10:32. > :10:40.have to wait for another date and when that will be I do not know. How

:10:40. > :10:43.do you feel? Devastated. I cannot understand why the hospital has not

:10:44. > :10:50.come up with the strategy so this does not happen to people over and

:10:50. > :10:55.over again. Clearly distressing, but what has brought this about? The

:10:55. > :10:59.Chief Executive says they currently have 50 medically fit patients who

:10:59. > :11:03.cannot be discharged because of a lack of community health and social

:11:03. > :11:07.care support and she said it was this ongoing situation that was

:11:07. > :11:28.causing the cancellations. She said they were sorry and were trying to

:11:28. > :11:30.provide new dates for people, but the problem is that many people,

:11:30. > :11:32.particularly frail older people might be well enough to leave

:11:32. > :11:35.hospital, but they are not well enough to be sent home without any

:11:35. > :11:37.support. If there are no places in community hospitals and note

:11:37. > :11:40.packages from the council, the hospital has to keep the patients.

:11:40. > :11:44.The pilot cull of badgers in Somerset — part of the government's

:11:44. > :11:47.plan to eradicate TB in cattle — has officially come to an end. The

:11:47. > :11:51.government granted a licence for the shooting in a large area of West

:11:51. > :11:54.Somerset to last six weeks. But even though that period has now closed

:11:54. > :11:56.the protestors say they will stay. Our Somerset correspondent Clinton

:11:56. > :12:00.Rogers reports. The prettiest of settings, for the ugliest of rows,

:12:00. > :12:10.from today, the guns have fallen silent in this rural corner of

:12:10. > :12:16.Somerset. The village of club and is in the middle of this. Even in this

:12:16. > :12:20.predominantly farming community, opinions can divide friends. One

:12:20. > :12:24.person was very much in favour of the cull and the other was very much

:12:24. > :12:34.against it. The two were together and they just said, our friendship

:12:34. > :12:39.is the main point, we keep our opinions to ourselves. The cull in

:12:39. > :12:44.West Somerset began six weeks ago. Protesters have tried to follow

:12:45. > :12:50.every move, as Marx then set out to kill 70% of the badger population,

:12:50. > :12:56.around 2000 animals. No one is saying whether that number has been

:12:57. > :13:02.reached or not. The temporary home of the protesters is still there.

:13:02. > :13:07.Even though the official cull period has ended, they have no intention of

:13:07. > :13:11.moving out. The only thing that has stop them getting the numbers they

:13:11. > :13:17.wanted was because there were so many people getting in the way. Much

:13:17. > :13:23.respect to those people, but if they disappear, I think they will have a

:13:23. > :13:27.field day. The National Farmers' Union in Somerset says the fact that

:13:27. > :13:32.no one was hurt in confrontations shows the cull was carried out

:13:32. > :13:37.safely. On the ground, I think it has gone as well as anyone could

:13:37. > :13:42.have hoped. There have been arrests, three in Somerset and 18 in

:13:42. > :13:47.Gloucestershire. The cull is over here in Somerset, it started later

:13:47. > :13:52.in Gloucestershire and still has a week to run. Only then will the

:13:52. > :13:54.department start analysing statistics and working out whether

:13:54. > :13:57.it is over here in Somerset, it started later in Gloucestershire and

:13:57. > :13:59.still has a week to run. Only then will the department start analysing

:13:59. > :14:02.statistics and working out whether and if the pilot was a success and

:14:02. > :14:04.whether it can be rolled out across other parts of the country. I am

:14:05. > :14:13.told a pronouncement on that is still many weeks away. Much of the

:14:13. > :14:16.region's rich and varied past has been preserved on film thanks to the

:14:16. > :14:19.South West Film and Television Archive. It's celebrating its 20th

:14:19. > :14:22.year and the collection includes more than forty thousands items from

:14:22. > :14:25.the old Westward Television and its successor TSW. But despite

:14:25. > :14:28.preserving the past, the archive is also looking to the future. It is

:14:28. > :14:32.about to be forced out of its current home which is due to be

:14:32. > :14:43.redeveloped. John Danks has been finding out what it will mean for

:14:43. > :14:47.the collection. The Melville building in Plymouth has been home

:14:47. > :14:52.to one of the largest regional film archives in the UK for 15 years.

:14:52. > :14:57.Next spring, work is due to start to convert this blog into a boutique

:14:57. > :15:03.hotel. This means that all of these films will need to move —— block. We

:15:03. > :15:10.are talking to the landlords and the council. The council is a key

:15:10. > :15:15.partner for us with plans for the history centre. Hopefully, we will

:15:15. > :15:26.be able to engineer some sort of solution. There are more than 43,000

:15:26. > :15:32.items here, each one telling a story. This new script from 1963

:15:32. > :15:42.talks of Penzance being battered by gales. There were interviews with

:15:42. > :15:46.one or two famous faces. I did not really collapse. That was the

:15:46. > :15:54.naughty newspapers. I had a bit of the flu. I am fine. Some of the

:15:54. > :15:59.boast in treating images are those captured by amateur film—makers.

:15:59. > :16:05.This one shows a Thatcher at work in the 1930s. Caught on camera by a

:16:05. > :16:11.major bid —— got a shopkeeper from Turow. This oddity seems to show a

:16:11. > :16:16.feature film made on a beach in Cornwall, the scene was shot by a

:16:16. > :16:27.holiday—maker from London who also filmed these fish in the 1930s. ——

:16:27. > :16:31.fishermen. The Southwest film and television archive could eventually

:16:31. > :16:36.live here. The council is bidding for funding to help build a new

:16:36. > :16:40.history centre on the site of the city's Museum. Even if it does get

:16:40. > :16:45.funded, the new building will not be ready for another four years. The

:16:45. > :16:52.archives are one of our key partners. We planned to build a

:16:52. > :16:57.state of the art centre and they are one of our key partners. They are

:16:57. > :17:02.safe. We will be working with them to find temporary accommodation.

:17:02. > :17:07.Reassuring news perhaps for the staff and volunteers who work here.

:17:07. > :17:11.While the archive celebrates its 20th year, this little chap is on

:17:11. > :17:24.hand should any bunny hops be needed. Lovely to see him again. I

:17:24. > :17:28.grew up watching him! Time for the sport now and Dave's here with news

:17:28. > :17:33.of a great weekend for the city of Exeter. Exeter City completed the

:17:33. > :17:35.first part of a double success for the city's clubs. They overcame

:17:35. > :17:39.Devon rivals Plymouth Argyle by three goals to one at St James Park

:17:39. > :17:42.after a goalless first half. So elation for the home fans, but

:17:42. > :17:54.despair for the away supporters. This is how they saw the derby.

:17:54. > :18:03.A fantastic game. A very bad side. They will be disappointed. What

:18:03. > :18:11.about the goals? I loved them. I could not watch at 1—1. I Facebook.

:18:11. > :18:17.It was a fantastic game and we deserved the win. I did not think it

:18:17. > :18:22.was a good performance. At least two of the girls worked as a result of

:18:22. > :18:33.terrible defending. There was not much in the way of tackling. —— girl

:18:33. > :18:43.—— goals. We had a class act up front. It was a cool finish. We

:18:43. > :18:49.followed Plymouth Argyle and it was one of the worst sides we had seen

:18:49. > :19:02.for a long time. Very disappointed. I think we scored three very good

:19:02. > :19:10.goals. They were good goals. I'm very proud of the players. We played

:19:10. > :19:13.well. We lost the game, though. We are not winning football matches and

:19:13. > :19:19.we need to. We need to stay together. The performance was OK,

:19:19. > :19:28.but it was very poignant. Yeovil Town and Torquay United both

:19:28. > :19:30.had days to forget. Gary Johnson's Glovers are still without a

:19:30. > :19:34.Championship win since the opening day in August. Although they took an

:19:34. > :19:37.early lead at Middlesbrough through Liam Davis, that was soon wiped out

:19:38. > :19:41.and they eventually ended up on the wrong end of a four—one battering.

:19:41. > :19:44.Yeovil are in the bottom three and now have a two week break to

:19:44. > :19:47.re—group due to World Cup qualifiers. In League Two, Torquay

:19:47. > :19:50.United are now fourth from the bottom after York City inflicted a

:19:50. > :19:54.three—nil defeat on them at Plainmoor. United conceded all three

:19:54. > :20:07.goals in the second half, the third scored by ex—Gulls striker Ryan

:20:07. > :20:10.Jarvis. Exeter Chiefs have gone up to sixth in rugby's Aviva

:20:10. > :20:13.Premiership after a fine 29—12 win at Gloucester. It was another strong

:20:13. > :20:17.display from the Chiefs forwards, with number eight Dave Ewers again

:20:17. > :20:19.catching the eye. He outplayed his opposite number, England's Ben

:20:19. > :20:22.Morgan, and enhanced HIS chances of perhaps coming to the notice of

:20:22. > :20:25.England selectors. Ben White and skipper Dean Mumm scored Exeter's

:20:25. > :20:37.tries with Gareth Steenson contributing 19 points with his

:20:37. > :20:40.boot. Plymouth Raiders have won their first basketball league match

:20:40. > :20:42.of the season, beating former champions Newcastle Eagles in

:20:42. > :20:45.overtime. They were behind at the halfway point of their BBL

:20:45. > :20:49.Championship match at the Pavilions. But they managed to level matters at

:20:49. > :20:52.the end of regulation time. The contest went into overtime and

:20:52. > :21:00.Raiders pushed their noses in front to win 89—87. Finally, cricketing

:21:00. > :21:02.twins Craig and Jamie Overton from Northam near Bideford, have signed

:21:02. > :21:05.three year extensions to their contracts at Somerset. The

:21:05. > :21:08.19—year—olds have both gone on to play for England Lions, while Jamie

:21:08. > :21:20.was in the England One—Day squad against Australia this summer. Well

:21:20. > :21:23.done to them! We are staying with sport. A British Olympian and

:21:23. > :21:26.celebrity ski jumper have been helping to celebrate the 50th

:21:26. > :21:30.birthday of Torquay's dry ski slope. It was Britain's first purpose built

:21:30. > :21:33.outdoor ski run when it opened in October 1963. Since then thousands

:21:33. > :21:36.of people have learned to ski there, with many going on to great things.

:21:36. > :21:49.Spotlight's Carole Madge donned her salopettes to bring us the story.

:21:49. > :22:00.Skiing on upturned toothbrushes for 50 years. These racers are enjoying

:22:00. > :22:04.the legacy of the small band of passionate skiers whose pioneering

:22:04. > :22:18.vision began the dry ski scope —— dry ski slope movement. That tiny

:22:18. > :22:23.strip of plastic has grown up and who better to help celebrate than

:22:23. > :22:28.our own three times Olympian, Chemmy Alcott? To be honest, I am such a

:22:28. > :22:34.born competitor, when I see people knocking down gates, I want to be

:22:34. > :22:38.doing that! I am very jealous of these guys. Look who has also

:22:38. > :22:43.dropped in? You might not recognise him, but you will probably remember

:22:43. > :22:48.the name, Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards. I loved every single minute

:22:48. > :22:53.of being on skis, or whether it was alpine racing, or in Gloucester or

:22:53. > :22:58.racing internationally, I would love to do it all again. Thanks to the
