:00:00. > 3:59:59We will keep you updated on the Typhoon as it heads towards Vietnam
:00:00. > :00:21.this weekend. Good evening. And based Royal Marine
:00:22. > :00:24.faces a life sentence. Tonight, we'll hear from one ex`commando
:00:25. > :00:30.about the battlefield as senior officers condemn the actions of the
:00:31. > :00:35.guilty man. It is a matter of regret that, in
:00:36. > :00:39.this isolated incident, this Marine failed to apply his training and his
:00:40. > :00:42.responsibilities. Also tonight: Fares please ` how
:00:43. > :00:46.some free bus pass holders in Cornwall, could be asked to pay for
:00:47. > :00:49.their travel to save routes. And the rare birds facing a winter
:00:50. > :00:54.without food, after their habitat was destroyed.
:00:55. > :00:58.A Royal Marine from Plymouth`based 42 Commando has been found guilty of
:00:59. > :01:02.murdering an Afghan insurgent. The marine, who cannot be named, faces a
:01:03. > :01:06.mandatory life sentence for the execution of the man in Helmand
:01:07. > :01:09.Province two years ago. Two former colleagues, known as Marines B and
:01:10. > :01:21.C, were found not guilty. John Danks reports.
:01:22. > :01:28.Marine B had filmed the murder on his camera, and it was this footage
:01:29. > :01:36.that was shown to the court. We cannot show the footage, but we can
:01:37. > :01:45.show the audio. The Marines are heard discussing
:01:46. > :01:56.what to do with the injured man. Later, Marine a Mac `` Marine a is
:01:57. > :02:03.heard to shoot the man. Today, the action was judged as murder.
:02:04. > :02:10.In a war situation, when adrenaline is pumping through the body, people
:02:11. > :02:19.do perhaps make errors in judgement. One former commando has told the BBC
:02:20. > :02:25.about the pressures. With the powerful adrenaline going
:02:26. > :02:36.through the body and with a firefight, when it peaks, you are
:02:37. > :02:39.buzzed up. The Ministry of Defence says that,
:02:40. > :02:46.whatever the circumstances, the man is guilty.
:02:47. > :02:53.It is a matter of regret that in this circumstance one Marine did not
:02:54. > :02:59.do his duty. What we have heard is not consistent with the values and
:03:00. > :03:04.standards of the Royal Marines. Of all these services, I think the
:03:05. > :03:11.Royal Marines Warfield this most acutely, because they say that their
:03:12. > :03:25.people are very educated. `` will feel this. They will try not to do
:03:26. > :03:34.this and be accused of these things. The man was from 42 Commando. A MP
:03:35. > :03:41.says that people will feel this throughout the community.
:03:42. > :03:45.I think that people will be sad, because the Marines are part of our
:03:46. > :03:51.community. To find that these Marines were accused and found
:03:52. > :03:59.guilty of this act will concern people.
:04:00. > :04:06.The Marine A will be sentenced. Marines B and C were found not
:04:07. > :04:08.guilty and will return it to the services.
:04:09. > :04:11.This is the first time that the British Forces have been put on
:04:12. > :04:14.trial for murder during the 12 year campaign in Afghanistan. Our
:04:15. > :04:17.correspondent Andy Moore has been following the case in court.
:04:18. > :04:23.Earlier, I asked him what happened in court when the verdicts came in.
:04:24. > :04:29.A very short hearing, but it was emotional. A military panel was
:04:30. > :04:37.there. The three men were asked to stand behind the screens. The
:04:38. > :04:43.families linked arms. The panel declared Marine A guilty and the two
:04:44. > :04:49.other men not guilty. There was no reaction from behind the screens.
:04:50. > :04:54.The families cried. The judge said that this sentence had a mandatory
:04:55. > :05:01.life sentence, but the court will be adjourned. He said that Marines B
:05:02. > :05:07.and C were free to go back to their bases. The court was cleared so that
:05:08. > :05:12.Marine A could spend time with his family before being taken away.
:05:13. > :05:22.What will happen in regards to custody?
:05:23. > :05:27.Marines B and C go back to their lives as Royal Marines. For Marine
:05:28. > :05:35.A, there will be reports done. The judge said that he wanted a report.
:05:36. > :05:39.They will go back for sentencing on December six. There will be a
:05:40. > :05:46.mandatory life sentence, but with a minimum term set. Also, there will
:05:47. > :05:58.be talks about the anonymity of that men. The judge said that he wanted
:05:59. > :06:02.the anonymity to be there whilst the trial was on, but he might lift it
:06:03. > :06:11.afterwards. There will be discussion over whether the men can be named.
:06:12. > :06:21.There will be more analysis of that case on the BBC News website.
:06:22. > :06:25.People with free bas passes could be asked to pay their bus fares, if
:06:26. > :06:28.they can afford to. It's just one proposal being put to Cornwall
:06:29. > :06:31.Council in an attempt to help protect rural bus routes. The
:06:32. > :06:35.council says it will have to make some cuts to subsidised bus services
:06:36. > :06:38.next year. Bus passes are not means tested, you get one when you reach
:06:39. > :06:41.60. One councillor says some pensioners can afford to pay for
:06:42. > :06:46.their travel. Eleanor Parkinson reports.
:06:47. > :06:52.Villagers here say that there daily bus service is a lifeline for people
:06:53. > :06:56.who do not drive and want to go to local towns. But this village has
:06:57. > :07:05.just had its bus service cuts. It has lost its evening and Sunday bus
:07:06. > :07:09.services. This lady has not drive `` has not driven since her car
:07:10. > :07:16.accident. She says that it will be difficult for her to get home.
:07:17. > :07:22.I will be getting back at 9pm, how? I will not be able to do it.
:07:23. > :07:29.I use the bus service a lot, and on Sunday I go to a Quaker meeting, and
:07:30. > :07:33.I cannot get there. What has happened is that members of the
:07:34. > :07:40.meeting have kindly said that they will drive me.
:07:41. > :07:45.Many bus routes are subsidised by the council. One councillor has
:07:46. > :07:48.suggested that pensioners could be at to pay for their journeys if they
:07:49. > :07:53.can. I know that there are lots of people
:07:54. > :07:58.who use free bus passes who cannot afford to pay, and we do not want to
:07:59. > :08:06.penalised them. But we can say to people that, if they can afford to,
:08:07. > :08:10.maybe they can keep the bus pass in their pocket and pay for the adult
:08:11. > :08:16.fare. I think that would be sensible, as
:08:17. > :08:19.long as people on low incomes would go for free.
:08:20. > :08:23.Everyone I have spoken to would be happy to pay for the trip. They
:08:24. > :08:28.would be happy to do that if they get to keep the bus.
:08:29. > :08:34.I think many people would be able to pay a small amount for the journey.
:08:35. > :08:40.The council is obliged to provide free bus travel to people over the
:08:41. > :08:50.age of 60, so free bus pass travellers can only be asked to pay
:08:51. > :08:53.for their fair on a voluntary basis. Plans to cut bus services across
:08:54. > :08:55.Dorset are being revised following public opposition. The ?850,000
:08:56. > :08:59.reduction to services was deferred by the County Council in July for a
:09:00. > :09:01.public consultation. A report on that includes concerns over access
:09:02. > :09:05.to medical services, the isolation of some communities and the economic
:09:06. > :09:13.impact. A final decision on the cuts is expected next month.
:09:14. > :09:15.The region's Police and Crime Commissioners have raised concerns
:09:16. > :09:18.with the government over policing cuts. PCC Martyn Underhill is
:09:19. > :09:22.warning that Dorset's council tax precept could rise by up 3% next
:09:23. > :09:35.year. He says it's due to the cost of expanding the Independent Police
:09:36. > :09:38.Complaints Commission. The RSPB says it's shocked by the
:09:39. > :09:41.removal of an important habitat which is used by one of the
:09:42. > :09:44.country's rarest birds. Cirl buntings have been coaxed back to
:09:45. > :09:48.the South West in recent years, but the ones at Exminster in Devon have
:09:49. > :09:51.now lost their food supply for the winter, after crops were cut back
:09:52. > :09:53.and the land ploughed over. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian
:09:54. > :09:59.Campbell reports. There were still some cirl bunting
:10:00. > :10:05.left today on this field, but what has happened here as `` has
:10:06. > :10:09.devastated those involved in bringing back the birds to the
:10:10. > :10:14.south`west. We have put in a lot of work onto
:10:15. > :10:19.this site. To see its like this is terrible.
:10:20. > :10:25.This woman has worked hard on this land on behalf of the RSPB, but the
:10:26. > :10:33.land is owned by the NHS Trust. We have ten pairs of cirl buntings,
:10:34. > :10:39.and two of them have been nesting on this site, but other pairs, and
:10:40. > :10:43.winter here. This is where they get their winter food. Without it, they
:10:44. > :10:51.haven't got any food. Nobody has been available for
:10:52. > :10:54.interview from the Devon NHS Trust. They say that they are sad about
:10:55. > :10:57.what happened and they are looking for a way forward and what to do
:10:58. > :11:03.next. It takes 20 years for the hedgerows
:11:04. > :11:11.to have the right nature for cirl buntings.
:11:12. > :11:19.One of the local people is Diane. She is with a group who get involved
:11:20. > :11:26.with the nature of the area. There is no overall total effect of
:11:27. > :11:37.all the action is taking place. This may be only one site, but the number
:11:38. > :11:41.of cirl buntings sites are affected. Everyone has agreed that this is an
:11:42. > :11:50.unfortunate incident that will be difficult to put right.
:11:51. > :11:53.Coming up next: A very special challenge for Children in Need.
:11:54. > :11:55.Plus: The young racing driver going places.
:11:56. > :11:58.Could he be a Formula 1 champion of the future?
:11:59. > :12:06.And poems from the front line ` the letters giving an insight into life
:12:07. > :12:10.during the Second World War. Well, a week today is the big day `
:12:11. > :12:13.Children in Need 2013. Each year, you raise thousands of pounds to
:12:14. > :12:17.help disadvantaged children and young people in the UK. The charity
:12:18. > :12:20.is funding 73 projects in the South West and has granted more than ?3
:12:21. > :12:23.million in the region. One of those projects is
:12:24. > :12:25.Penhaligon's Friends in Cornwall, which helps people with bereavement,
:12:26. > :12:28.including 17`year`old Peter Birkett. He's taking part in the One Show's
:12:29. > :12:32.Rickshaw Challenge in memory of his mother and sister. He and his dad
:12:33. > :12:35.Geoff are now preparing for their 700 mile journey across the UK to
:12:36. > :12:42.raise money for BBC Children in Need.
:12:43. > :12:52.When we first found out about it, that was quite exciting that friends
:12:53. > :12:58.thought of us. To do something as amazing as this challenge is
:12:59. > :13:05.exciting. We have been training, going to work, going to the gym. It
:13:06. > :13:10.has been like that for the past few months, trying to do as much
:13:11. > :13:12.training as we can, to do the challenge.
:13:13. > :13:17.It will definitely be a challenge, but that is what it is meant to be.
:13:18. > :13:22.We want to raise as much money as possible to support as many
:13:23. > :13:32.charities as possible. The charity has been valuable. I don't know
:13:33. > :13:41.where we would be today without it. Six years ago, my son was in a car
:13:42. > :13:48.accident in which his sister died. Quickly after the accident, there
:13:49. > :13:55.was a lot of problems. Very angry, upset is, regretful, feeling a lot
:13:56. > :14:03.of the most because he survived and his mother and sister did not. I was
:14:04. > :14:12.grieving as well. It was a difficult time for us.
:14:13. > :14:16.I could not deal with it. The charity was there when I needed
:14:17. > :14:20.help. As a parent, watching your child go
:14:21. > :14:26.through something like that, you feel hopeless. There is nothing you
:14:27. > :14:30.can do or say. You just can't make it better.
:14:31. > :14:39.None of my friends had been through anything similar, so they could not
:14:40. > :14:43.understand. I would be on my own. I went to youth groups and understood
:14:44. > :14:49.that other people know what it is like to go through this. I
:14:50. > :14:54.understood that I am not on my own. I would like to do this challenge
:14:55. > :15:00.every year for the rest of my life. The charity is so valuable. Life
:15:01. > :15:11.would have been so much harder for both of us if they were not around.
:15:12. > :15:15.So, Children in Need really does make a difference, and this year the
:15:16. > :15:18.South West's Party for Pudsey is at the National Maritime Museum
:15:19. > :15:21.Cornwall next Friday night. So if you've been fundraising and would
:15:22. > :15:32.like to come along just go to pudseytickets@bbc.co.uk and we'll
:15:33. > :15:35.send you some tickets. Onto the sport now, and Dave's been
:15:36. > :15:38.to meet a highly`rated welterweight boxer from Devon, who's preparing
:15:39. > :15:41.for his first professional fight later this month.
:15:42. > :15:50.This is a boxing gym in Torquay, where Freddie Hewitt is doing some
:15:51. > :15:55.shadow`boxing. He is preparing for his first professional boxing match
:15:56. > :16:01.after his amateur career. And there will be the quest to win
:16:02. > :16:06.the Anglia cup tomorrow. There is more reason for the Chiefs to do
:16:07. > :16:10.well this year, because their home stadium has been chosen to have the
:16:11. > :16:17.final in March. And three teams hope to win `` to
:16:18. > :16:26.get to the final of the FA Cup. One team will play Peterborough,
:16:27. > :16:32.Plymouth Argyle have a new striker in time for their match against
:16:33. > :16:43.City. And Paul McCallum is eligible to play against Rochdale.
:16:44. > :16:46.This story is about the breeding ground for Formula 1 drivers, and
:16:47. > :16:54.the next one could be from this area. Would he overtake him ``
:16:55. > :17:01.players like Lewis Hamilton one`day?
:17:02. > :17:08.And maybe a schoolboy, but Alex is making a big name for himself in
:17:09. > :17:14.motorsport. He is only 12, but he is going to the next stage. He is
:17:15. > :17:20.ranked number two in the country, and has already joined a racing
:17:21. > :17:28.team. However, his performances this season have also attracted attention
:17:29. > :17:38.from beef or RE `` from the top of the karting groups.
:17:39. > :17:48.Top races from Formula 1 have been Carters in the past.
:17:49. > :17:51.He has become a prolific winner. There is the championships and the
:17:52. > :17:58.British open Championships and the Grand Prix, which is to events, and
:17:59. > :18:03.I was lucky to win both of them. And the first winner of the Grand Prix
:18:04. > :18:08.championship? Lewis Hamilton. You only have to
:18:09. > :18:14.look at Alex's room to see that there is more than luck involved. In
:18:15. > :18:18.fact, she has achieved all this against the odds. Despite receiving
:18:19. > :18:26.some sponsorship, other opponents have a full`time teams. Luckily for
:18:27. > :18:31.Alex, his dad is a mechanic. It is an expensive sport and we need
:18:32. > :18:39.more help. We are reliant on the bank of mum and dad. It is every
:18:40. > :18:45.boy's dream to get to Formula 1, and the karting is a stepping stone.
:18:46. > :18:54.Winter testing with his new team and his new cart begins tomorrow, just
:18:55. > :18:59.after his final cadet phrase. He has already been over to Italy for a
:19:00. > :19:06.test drive, and there are talks that he might go back in the future.
:19:07. > :19:11.I want to go into Formula 1, but everyone wants that. But I think
:19:12. > :19:18.anything with four wheels and an engine would be good for me.
:19:19. > :19:22.Freddie, are you ready for your professional career after only four
:19:23. > :19:31.years as an amateur? I can't wait to get in the ring. I
:19:32. > :19:38.just want to do it now I am here. Have you done enough in your amateur
:19:39. > :19:48.career? 11 wins. I started boxing late, when I was
:19:49. > :19:57.18. I did mostly knockouts as well. I think my boxing style suits the
:19:58. > :20:00.professional style. I am ready. What do you think your strengths
:20:01. > :20:09.are? I think it is these. People always
:20:10. > :20:17.find it hard to get speed. I am a faster. My goal is to keep
:20:18. > :20:23.improving. I will see how I have done in two years.
:20:24. > :20:38.If you cannot beat them, then joined them.
:20:39. > :20:44.Great work, loved every minute! Now, as the nation prepares to mark
:20:45. > :20:54.remembrance weekend, new light has been shed on the life and work of a
:20:55. > :20:57.Second World War poets. John Jarmain saw action at the Battle of El
:20:58. > :21:01.Alamein, and was killed in 1944. His letters from the front line to his
:21:02. > :21:04.wife in Dorset contained much of his poetry. Now, those letters have been
:21:05. > :21:07.donated to the University of Exeter. Simon Clemison has the story.
:21:08. > :21:15.We have seen sand frothing like the sea in our wheels, wrapped in the
:21:16. > :21:23.dust from Sun and sky without a mark to guide them by.
:21:24. > :21:28.The words were written by her father. She always knew that he was
:21:29. > :21:34.a published war poets, but she did not know that her mother had kept
:21:35. > :21:39.let after letter, revealing his character as well as his poems.
:21:40. > :21:43.It gave me an insight into my Father, which I had not thought of
:21:44. > :21:52.before, as I had never known him. He became a person.
:21:53. > :21:58.He was killed in 1944 when Janet was very young. He was a significant
:21:59. > :22:03.Second World War poet, and there are not many poets from that era. Why
:22:04. > :22:11.are the First World War poets more non`quiz`macro it could be that the
:22:12. > :22:14.First World War poets had already written about much of the
:22:15. > :22:21.experience. But the Second World War poets could
:22:22. > :22:24.write about the sand and the desert. The environment was even more
:22:25. > :22:30.hostile for a lover of green landscapes.
:22:31. > :22:37.James is a poets who has written extensively about Dorset. He tells
:22:38. > :22:43.me that whilst poets may have written about their surroundings, it
:22:44. > :22:46.is the country that they are writing `` fighting for that is prominent in
:22:47. > :22:51.their writing. I think you get that from all war
:22:52. > :22:56.poets. They are describing the landscape that they are fighting in,
:22:57. > :22:59.but their memory takes them back to where they come from.
:23:00. > :23:07.It is the collection that we have been given from John Jarmain.
:23:08. > :23:13.Janet has now parted company with most of the correspondence. It is
:23:14. > :23:16.now in the University. The letter is in the middle with more words in the
:23:17. > :23:22.margin. It is fantastic to receive these
:23:23. > :23:32.letters. John Jarmain was a local writer. We have a horrific resource
:23:33. > :23:42.here `` a fantastic resource here. John Jarmain is at home, surrounded
:23:43. > :23:46.with other great writers here. Students may discover more about the
:23:47. > :23:51.poetry of the Second World War, from these same letters that helped Janet
:23:52. > :23:56.discover more about her family. I wish everyone could read these
:23:57. > :24:05.letters, because they are a wonderful love story.
:24:06. > :24:10.It is remembrance weekend. Is it looking like a good weather for
:24:11. > :24:12.Sunday? I think so. Most of the morning
:24:13. > :24:31.services should be dry. Saturday might be quite wet, but it
:24:32. > :24:35.should be brighter on Sunday. The rain will be quite heavy tomorrow
:24:36. > :24:42.morning. There will be quite a lot of cloud, according to the satellite
:24:43. > :24:47.picture. All of this cloud is moving our way, but briefly, we will get
:24:48. > :24:54.some breaks in the cloud. This weather will move in towards dawn to
:24:55. > :24:59.give this some wet weather at first thing. There will be a risk of some
:25:00. > :25:05.hail and under, turning more showery. Then we will be between
:25:06. > :25:14.weather systems. This line of cloud and rain will move in during Sunday
:25:15. > :25:21.afternoon. It will not be dry all day. But hopefully in the morning it
:25:22. > :25:27.should be dry. That first rain will move away, and we will have clear
:25:28. > :25:31.skies overnight and in the morning to drop the temperatures into single
:25:32. > :25:39.figures. Some it will be cold. By morning, there will be thicker cloud
:25:40. > :25:49.and more rain. It will all move quite fast. The wins `` the wins
:25:50. > :25:56.will be quite strong originally. The temperatures will be as low as
