:00:14. > :00:18.The cull was a success according to the Environment Secretary but he
:00:18. > :00:26.tells Spotlight that badgers moved the goalposts. Good evening. Owen
:00:26. > :00:29.Paterson says the trial was humane and effective. In an interview for
:00:29. > :00:37.this programme he denied the Government had changed the rules of
:00:38. > :00:42.the cull. The badgers have moved the goalposts. It is a wild animal. It
:00:42. > :00:49.is subject to the vagaries of the weather. We'll also hear from
:00:49. > :00:53.anti—cull campaigners. Jailed, an artist from Cornwall convicted of a
:00:53. > :00:56.series of child sex offences is finally behind bars after a court
:00:56. > :01:00.ruled his suspended sentence was unduly lenient. And the row over who
:01:00. > :01:09.should've taken this badly injured child to a specialist burns unit 170
:01:09. > :01:15.miles away... He was in pain and had a horrible trauma. To expect him to
:01:15. > :01:27.sit in a car while we tried to find the hospital was crazy. An artist
:01:27. > :01:29.from Cornwall who was controversially spared prison
:01:29. > :01:34.earlier this year despite being convicted of a series of child sex
:01:34. > :01:39.offences was today told he faces jail after all. Graham Ovenden was
:01:39. > :01:42.given a prison term of two years and three months after the Court of
:01:42. > :01:46.Appeal ruled the original sentence was too lenient. The Lord Chief
:01:46. > :01:49.Justice said he had shown not a shred of mosques and had no
:01:49. > :01:55.understanding of the very serious harm he had caused to his victims.
:01:55. > :02:00.Our Home Affairs correspondent Simon Hall was in court in London. Graham
:02:00. > :02:06.of London arrived in court far less keen to speak out than usual. He was
:02:06. > :02:11.aware he could be facing prison —— Graham Ovenden. He had been
:02:11. > :02:15.convicted of child sex offences but because of his age, the damage to
:02:15. > :02:21.his reputation and the judge's view that he was a longer a threat to
:02:21. > :02:23.children, he was given a 12 month suspended sentence. Today the Court
:02:23. > :02:29.of appeals said there were more aggravating factors, the serious
:02:29. > :02:32.abuse of trust, the age of his victims and their suffering and they
:02:32. > :02:39.imposed a jail term of two years and three months. On the half of the
:02:39. > :02:43.victims, I am pleased that the Court of Appeal has agreed that the
:02:43. > :02:48.original sentence was unduly lenient and have passed a custodial sentence
:02:48. > :02:54.for Graham —— Graham Ovenden. He had a clear sexual interest in children.
:02:54. > :03:00.I am pleased with the outcome of this case. I can review cases if
:03:00. > :03:03.they are unduly lenient and in this case it seems that there was a
:03:03. > :03:06.strong argument that this sentence was unduly lenient and that he
:03:06. > :03:11.should have received a custodial sentence. I am pleased that the
:03:11. > :03:17.Court of Appeal has agreed with my analysis and has substantially
:03:17. > :03:23.increased the sentence. He committed the crimes in the 1970s and 1980s.
:03:23. > :03:28.There was anger at the original sentence. Graham Ovenden also
:03:28. > :03:34.appealed against his original conviction. That was dismissed. The
:03:34. > :03:38.Lord Chief Justice was damning in his assessment. He said that Graham
:03:39. > :03:43.Ovenden had no understanding of the serious harm he had caused his
:03:43. > :03:47.victims, had shown not one shred of mosques and continued to deny that
:03:47. > :03:50.he had done anything wrong. Graham Ovenden showed no reaction as he was
:03:50. > :04:05.sent to prison with immediate effect. Well, a short time ago, I
:04:05. > :04:08.spoke to Pete Saunders from the National Association of People
:04:08. > :04:12.Abused in Childhood — who broadly welcomed the court's decision to
:04:12. > :04:16.jail Ovenden... I spoke to Dominic Grieve and I agreed that it was an
:04:16. > :04:19.appropriate change of the sentence from what was a lenient sentence to
:04:20. > :04:24.the sentence that is more appropriate for the crimes that were
:04:24. > :04:28.committed. I'm not sure whether pleased is the right word, but it is
:04:28. > :04:34.appropriate and hopefully it will help to bring some kind of measure
:04:34. > :04:42.of closure to his victims. Is the sentence enough? That is tough.
:04:42. > :04:46.Those of us who work with survivors of abuse will tell you that no line
:04:46. > :04:51.of sentence will ever be long enough when you think that the victims will
:04:51. > :04:58.suffer and live with the memories of what was done to them for the rest
:04:58. > :05:01.of their lives. What impact does it have on survivors when they feel the
:05:01. > :05:09.sentence passed has been unduly lenient? From our experience and
:05:09. > :05:15.hearing accounts from survivors, it is absolutely devastating when the
:05:15. > :05:20.person that committed these vile crimes against you walks free from
:05:20. > :05:28.the courtroom, so I cannot understate the impact that leniency
:05:28. > :05:31.has on the victim. The very least that society can do is to
:05:31. > :05:41.acknowledge this crime by imposing an appropriate sentence. The
:05:41. > :05:45.Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has denied the badger cull trial in
:05:45. > :05:47.Somerset was a failure, but has told BBC Spotlight that "the badgers
:05:48. > :05:50.moved the goal posts". The Government says that although it
:05:51. > :05:54.didn't meet the original target for the number of badgers killed, it's
:05:54. > :05:57.still happy with the way the trial was conducted and is considering an
:05:57. > :06:01.application to extend it. Welfare groups have argued the cull has
:06:01. > :06:04.failed to meet any of it its aims. We'll hear from the Secretary of
:06:04. > :06:10.State after this report from our Environment Correspondent Adrian
:06:10. > :06:15.Campbell. This farm is right on the edge of the Devon and Somerset
:06:15. > :06:21.border. The cattle here, pedigree Highland cattle are free of bovine
:06:21. > :06:31.to burka loses, but the farmer says it is a present risk. He says the
:06:31. > :06:35.cull is sad but necessary —— TV. It is difficult to make a start. They
:06:35. > :06:39.had to get going with it and perhaps the results are not as they
:06:39. > :06:49.anticipated. In time, they have made a good start. The department says
:06:49. > :06:55.that 850 badgers were killed, 40% of the original target figure. DEFRA
:06:55. > :06:59.had set itself a target of killing 70% of the population, but it says
:06:59. > :07:03.Badger numbers are lower than predicted. There were thought to
:07:03. > :07:09.have been around 2400 in West Somerset, but that has now been
:07:10. > :07:14.revised downwards to 1450, which means that the companies do not have
:07:14. > :07:23.to shoot so many badgers to meet the targets. They have moved the
:07:23. > :07:27.goalposts because the numbers are disappointing. The results are the
:07:28. > :07:33.important thing. Somerset Badger Group show that —— say that the
:07:33. > :07:42.results show they have failed to meet the target. There is no
:07:42. > :07:45.allowance for the seasonal changes in badger populations. There is no
:07:45. > :07:53.allowance in terms of the fact that we had a dry spring and we have less
:07:53. > :07:56.badgers. The National Farmers' Union says the results may not be perfect,
:07:56. > :08:08.but the government is doing the right thing. They have taken a brave
:08:08. > :08:12.step. The disease was out of control and was the danger of Europe making
:08:12. > :08:18.us into some sort of isolation zone and effectively shutting down
:08:18. > :08:23.farming. Many campaigners say they support farmers but say a badger
:08:23. > :08:27.cull simply cannot work. Well, earlier I spoke to the Environment
:08:27. > :08:34.Secretary Own Paterson. I asked him why he considered the cull to be a
:08:34. > :08:38.success. I am satisfied that we have proved that in Somerset this method
:08:38. > :08:45.is safe. The overwhelming evidence coming back is that the badgers have
:08:45. > :08:49.been shot cleanly and died quickly in a humane manner and I think that
:08:49. > :08:56.is important for the future and on effectiveness, they have achieved in
:08:56. > :09:00.six weeks, 60% of the current numbers and our chief veterinarian
:09:00. > :09:06.is clear that this will lead to a significant reduction in disease.
:09:06. > :09:10.Critics say it is a failure, you did not estimate the number of badgers
:09:10. > :09:15.in the area correctly, you have not reached the 70% target that you set
:09:15. > :09:22.yourself and now the trial has to be extended. You're moving the
:09:22. > :09:26.goalposts. The badgers have moved the goalposts. They are wild
:09:26. > :09:34.animals. They are subject to weather, disease and breeding
:09:34. > :09:39.patterns. If you are saying that, does that not mean the trial itself
:09:39. > :09:43.is pointless? That will change every year, you could never set a target
:09:43. > :09:50.that you know you will meet if the badger population is changing year
:09:50. > :09:57.by year. Of course it will change every year. How can you say you want
:09:58. > :10:05.to kill this many badgers when you do not know how many badgers are in
:10:05. > :10:09.that area from year to year? We have guides on the ground who are good at
:10:09. > :10:13.coming up with an accurate estimate according to the very latest
:10:13. > :10:18.evidence available. They took this physical evidence very shortly
:10:18. > :10:24.before the cull began and came up with the current number. The whole
:10:24. > :10:28.idea has been to see if this will be successful enough to be rolled out
:10:28. > :10:33.to other parts of the country. Experts have said in the past if you
:10:33. > :10:39.do not kill enough badgers in the zone, there is a danger that the
:10:39. > :10:46.disease will spread to clean areas. What happens if that is the case
:10:46. > :10:50.here? It is sensible to ask for an extension. If you can get more in a
:10:50. > :10:57.disease hotspot area it will be helpful. In terms of judging it as a
:10:57. > :11:01.success, it sounds as if you are already doing this. Will it be
:11:01. > :11:09.rolled out across the country regardless of how this trial ends.
:11:09. > :11:14.No. There are lessons to be learned. The preliminary evidence is clear.
:11:14. > :11:18.We have been successful on safety. The guys on the ground have been
:11:18. > :11:26.successful. They have been successful on humaneness and on
:11:27. > :11:30.effectiveness. So, I am very happy to say this is a successful
:11:30. > :11:35.operation. Obviously we can always do better and there will be lessons
:11:35. > :11:40.to be learned. I look forward to reading an independent report.
:11:40. > :11:43.Responding to the minister's comments, Labour's Exeter MP Ben
:11:43. > :11:46.Bradshaw said he's always been sceptical that the cull could reach
:11:46. > :11:54.its target and feared the cull could make matters worse. It seems to go
:11:54. > :11:59.from one disaster to another when it comes to win Patterson. They have
:11:59. > :12:03.lost half the badger population of Somerset. If they had moved out of
:12:03. > :12:08.the Carling area, the farmers in those areas will not be happy. After
:12:08. > :12:17.all of this we could have a lot of dead and injured badgers with no
:12:17. > :12:21.benefit for the farming community. And many of you have expressed your
:12:21. > :12:25.opinions on this story. If you'd like to join the debate, you can
:12:25. > :12:28.head over to our social media pages. You can find us on Facebook and
:12:28. > :12:32.Twitter, or you can email us. The addresses you need are all on your

:12:36. > :12:40.e—mail address. Coming up later in the programme; a dramatic
:12:40. > :12:46.confrontation. I am here on behalf of former residents. Find out what
:12:46. > :12:50.happened when Sam Smith caught up with one of the owners of two former
:12:50. > :12:54.care homes. And the mother who was told to make her own arrangements to
:12:54. > :12:57.get her injured son to hospital 170 miles away. Russian investigators
:12:57. > :13:01.say they've found what appears to be hard drugs on board the Greenpeace
:13:01. > :13:04.ship seized during a protest in the Arctic last month. Investigators
:13:04. > :13:07.claimed charges against some of the detainees might change in the light
:13:07. > :13:10.of evidence gathered from the ship. Six Britons, including three from
:13:10. > :13:13.Devon, are being held on suspicion of piracy after activists attempted
:13:13. > :13:16.to scale a Russian oil rig. Greenpeace described the suggestion
:13:16. > :13:18.of illegal drugs being found as "a smear". Meanwhile Foreign Office
:13:18. > :13:30.officials have discussed their detention with the Russian
:13:30. > :13:34.ambassador in the UK. The BBC has tracked down one of the owners of
:13:34. > :13:36.two Plymouth care homes which were effectively closed down by the
:13:36. > :13:40.authorities. An Inside Out South West investigation found that South
:13:40. > :13:43.View and Park View failed to meet a number of Care Quality Commission
:13:43. > :13:46.standards. The homes were owned by Nick and Anna Chapman. But Mrs
:13:46. > :13:50.Chapman refused to comment on why the homes were run so badly, when we
:13:51. > :14:04.caught up with her this morning. Sam Smith reports. Anna Chapman, I am
:14:04. > :14:11.from the BBC. I am here on behalf of your former residents and staff.
:14:11. > :14:15.Anna Chapman arrives back home at her luxury home. It is very
:14:15. > :14:19.different to the care homes in different to the care homes in
:14:19. > :14:22.Plymouth she ran with her husband. Sell to view and Park View were
:14:22. > :14:29.effectively closed by the council after failing to meet a number of
:14:29. > :14:32.essential standards. Former staff showed Inside Out South West stained
:14:32. > :14:37.bents and told how residents had been unable to take a bath because
:14:37. > :14:41.there was no hot water. It was claimed that residents complained
:14:41. > :14:50.about the carer. We repeatedly asked the Chapmans for their side of the
:14:50. > :15:01.story but got no response. It. Get out of my way! I am here on behalf
:15:01. > :15:08.of former residents and staff. You have no reason to speak to me.
:15:08. > :15:13.You're not denying yourself any comforts here, you denied those to
:15:13. > :15:20.your residence. No shortage of heated water for the Chapmans, a hot
:15:20. > :15:26.tub in the grounds. Anna Chapman is the director of the company which
:15:26. > :15:31.ran the care homes. Mr Chapman is the former assistant director of
:15:32. > :15:35.care for older people at Devon County Council. These two former
:15:35. > :15:39.staff members are still awaiting compensation that they were awarded
:15:40. > :15:44.from the Chapmans company for unfair dismissal. According to the CQC,
:15:44. > :15:51.food suppliers, tradesmen and the gas company are also owed money. The
:15:51. > :15:54.parents of an injured baby say they had to make their own arrangements
:15:54. > :15:57.to get him to a specialist burns unit. Twenty—two—month—old Corey
:15:57. > :16:00.Duffield, who was badly scalded in an accident at home, was taken to
:16:00. > :16:04.the hospital in Truro by ambulance. Doctors there asked his parents, who
:16:04. > :16:06.don't drive, to arrange the 170 mile trip to Frenchay hospital in
:16:06. > :16:09.Bristol. The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust say such requests
:16:09. > :16:19.are part of an agreed protocol. You may find some pictures in David
:16:19. > :16:24.George's report distressing. Toddler Corey Duffield will be two next
:16:24. > :16:27.month. He has recovered well from the scalding accident which happened
:16:28. > :16:35.three weeks ago when he pulled over at hand of boiling potatoes. I did
:16:35. > :16:41.not see, but I think he has tried to stir it and brought it on to
:16:41. > :16:46.himself. A paramedic was sent in an search of an emergency call and the
:16:46. > :16:50.baby was given morphine and taken to the Royal Cornwall Hospital by
:16:50. > :16:54.emergency ambulance. His head and neck were badly scalded. These
:16:54. > :16:58.pictures were taken by his parents. They were asked to make their own
:16:58. > :17:07.arrangements to take him to a special burns unit in Bristol. As he
:17:07. > :17:12.was given morphine, he should have been monitored in an ambulance. We
:17:13. > :17:19.were in the back of a car and he had open wounds. Looking back, I think
:17:19. > :17:25.it was crazy to expect us in that state and Cory as well, he was in
:17:26. > :17:37.pain and had had a horrible trauma, to expect him to sit in a car for
:17:37. > :17:41.hours ——: Smith. The hospital said his condition was fully assessed by
:17:41. > :17:45.the emergency department doctor and our records show he was not
:17:45. > :17:48.displaying any signs of undue pain or distress. In line with protocols
:17:48. > :17:51.agreed with the team at Frenchay Hospital it was considered
:17:51. > :17:56.appropriate for him to travel by car. At his parents raised any
:17:56. > :18:01.concerns about the difficulty of getting to Bristol, we would have
:18:01. > :18:05.organised transport. His parents say they told hospital staff they could
:18:05. > :18:09.not drive and they did not ask for an ambulance because they were upset
:18:09. > :18:16.and distressed and believed they had no choice. A project being piloted
:18:16. > :18:18.in the South West is cutting crime and ensuring people with mental
:18:18. > :18:21.health problems get the treatment they need. The Liaison and Diversion
:18:21. > :18:24.scheme involves psychiatric nurses who are based in police stations. In
:18:24. > :18:26.Cornwall, the service has dramatically reduced reoffending.
:18:26. > :18:38.Here's our Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy. James has had a
:18:38. > :18:44.mental health problems for years. This summer, deeply depressed, he
:18:44. > :18:54.reached a crisis. I barricaded myself in my bungalow. Put petrol
:18:54. > :19:01.over myself. I set alight to the bungalow. He was arrested, but in
:19:02. > :19:06.court his luck changed. He met Jim Beresford, and nurse with the
:19:06. > :19:10.Liaison and Diversion Scheme and he assessed him, spoke up for him in
:19:10. > :19:17.court and helped avoid a prison sentence and ensured he got the
:19:17. > :19:20.medication and support he needed. I went from despair and not seem like
:19:20. > :19:27.at the end of the tunnel to basically, when I met Jim,
:19:27. > :19:34.everything every —— ever thing turned around. Research showed that
:19:34. > :19:38.25% of people coming into police custody centres in Cornwall and 40%
:19:38. > :19:42.of those in regular contact with the police were known to have a history
:19:42. > :19:48.of mental illness. For many, the criminal justice system was the
:19:48. > :19:54.wrong place. Inspector Mark Bolt who is based in Camborne helped set up
:19:54. > :19:58.the pilot scheme one year ago. As well as two psychiatric nurses,
:19:58. > :20:04.three are now based in police stations across Cornwall. When
:20:04. > :20:06.officers in custody centres or the community think someone is mentally
:20:06. > :20:16.unwell, they are referred for assessment. The neighbourhood teams
:20:16. > :20:21.can refer people in. If they commit an offence or are suspected of an
:20:21. > :20:25.offence, officers can refer them to the team and see if their behaviour
:20:25. > :20:28.is due to mental illness and if it is, the team can offer them support
:20:29. > :20:35.and hopefully, that support will make them better so they will not
:20:35. > :20:45.commit further offences. The service has reduced crime and saved police
:20:45. > :20:50.time. Pilot schemes also operate in Dorset and Somerset and from last
:20:50. > :20:53.month, in Devon. Those involved want government funding to continue the
:20:53. > :21:00.scheme which improves individual lives and is good for society. The
:21:00. > :21:06.community at large benefit from someone whose circumstances are
:21:06. > :21:08.stabilised under social circumstances are stabilised, they
:21:08. > :21:16.are less likely to offend. Therefore, they will not come to the
:21:16. > :21:28.attention of police. I am lucky. But, better late than never. People
:21:28. > :21:32.are getting wise to everything. And I am a good example of someone who
:21:32. > :21:39.has got the help that they needed, because I would not have got it in
:21:39. > :21:42.prison. Plymouth Argyle bowed out of the Football League Trophy last
:21:42. > :21:45.night when they were beaten 2—1 at Swindon Town in the second round.
:21:45. > :21:48.The Pilgrims actually led through Andre Blackman's first goal for the
:21:48. > :21:52.club after only seven minutes. But the Wiltshire team responded soon
:21:52. > :21:55.after and won the tie just after half—time with a second goal. It's
:21:55. > :22:02.now five league and cup games without a win for John Sheridan's
:22:02. > :22:05.side. Exmouth—based Olympic sailors Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes may
:22:05. > :22:08.have announced they're to go their separate ways, but thoughts now turn
:22:08. > :22:12.to their future. Will the former 49'er skiff world champions stay in
:22:12. > :22:20.the sport? Both of them are with us this evening in the studio to tell
:22:20. > :22:27.us more. Welcome to the programme. Why the decision at this point to go
:22:27. > :22:33.your separate ways? Ultimately we are in our results based business.
:22:33. > :22:37.We have looked at our results. We have had some real highs in our
:22:37. > :22:42.career, but we have perhaps plateaued a little bit. We have
:22:42. > :22:46.looked down several avenues to improve ourselves, but it has not
:22:46. > :22:52.quite happened. We have been doing it a long time. It is probably time
:22:52. > :23:04.to move on. Looking back on your career, what are the highlights? It
:23:04. > :23:12.was incredible. We had minimal backing at that point. That was our
:23:12. > :23:21.springboard. That was amazing. The sport of sailing is on a high after
:23:21. > :23:24.the Olympics, then with the success of Ben Ainslie in the America's
:23:24. > :23:35.Cup. What does the future hold for you? Obviously the America's Cup
:23:35. > :23:39.captured the imagination and made sailing more understandable but the
:23:39. > :23:46.amazing broadcast that happened. We were lucky to have someone like Ben
:23:47. > :23:50.Ainslie. He has spearheaded sailing around the country and around the
:23:50. > :23:55.world. The America's Cup, it originally started out in Britain,
:23:55. > :24:01.unfortunately we lost that first race, and we have never won it back.
:24:01. > :24:07.Right now, we have an unbelievable wealth of talent in the country and
:24:07. > :24:13.if Ben Ainslie can drum up that financial interest that ultimately
:24:13. > :24:16.you need, then it would be amazing. Unfortunately, the sport is moving
:24:16. > :24:21.towards a high—performance end which is were we come from, so less of the
:24:21. > :24:26.slow boats and more of the faster spectacular boats, which is the pace
:24:26. > :24:33.we are used to working out. Thank you. Good luck. Let us take a look
:24:33. > :24:43.at the weather. Good evening. We have had a drop in
:24:43. > :24:48.the temperatures and it has felt colder and some of us have not got
:24:48. > :24:52.any higher than 12 degrees. A cold day in store tomorrow. It will be
:24:52. > :24:57.breezy and there will be some sunshine off and on and we will need
:24:57. > :25:02.to wrap up warm. It is much more autumnal and that change is here to
:25:02. > :25:06.stay. Quite a lot of cloud on the satellite picture. It is big enough
:25:06. > :25:13.to give us some outbreaks of rain this evening. Not a huge amount of
:25:13. > :25:16.wet weather, but it does herald a change later this evening. A cold
:25:16. > :25:18.night as the weather systems move out of the way and the high—pressure
:25:18. > :25:23.sits to the west of Ireland, northerly winds, giving us lower
:25:23. > :25:26.temperatures and it will feel chilly tomorrow morning with overnight
:25:26. > :25:31.temperatures well into single figures. By the time we get to
:25:31. > :25:35.Thursday and Friday, there is a subtle change, with this
:25:35. > :25:40.low—pressure drink —— dragging in an easterly flow. There will be less
:25:40. > :25:46.cold air and there will be showers. There is that satellite picture, a
:25:46. > :25:51.fine line of blue across the Bristol Channel. That is the second in a
:25:51. > :26:01.line of showers and that will have the clear air behind it. Overnight
:26:01. > :26:04.figures could be as low as four or five degrees. That is a lot colder
:26:05. > :26:10.than it has been, the coldest nights so far this autumn and the winds are
:26:10. > :26:20.brisk and will remain from the North West slowly clearing northerly.
:26:20. > :26:25.There are the temperatures. Tomorrow morning, apart from a few showers in
:26:25. > :26:30.the Isles of Scilly, it will be a good day with plenty of sunshine,
:26:30. > :26:34.the sunshine giving us some decent lengthy spells and also giving us
:26:34. > :26:38.very good visibility. Lovely clear air coming from the Arctic.
:26:38. > :26:43.Excellent visibility, the risk of a few showers, but it is cold, 12 or
:26:43. > :26:47.13 degrees will be the maximum temperature. For the Isles of
:26:47. > :27:06.Scilly, breezy and cold day, a higher risk of showers. Times of
:27:06. > :27:21.high water. For surfers... Coastal waters forecast... Freddie's
:27:21. > :27:30.forecast is similar, a bit less cold, early in the day, there may be
:27:30. > :27:35.some patchy rain —— Friday. Into the weekend, it remains cooler and also
:27:35. > :27:44.more unsubtle. Have a good evening. That is the news and weather for now
:27:44. > :27:45.—— unsettled. From everyone here, have a very good night.
