That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from

:00:00.:00:13.

The care worker struck off after failing to respond to concerns about

:00:14.:00:19.

the abuse of patients Good evening. Brian Clarke worked at the disgraced

:00:20.:00:22.

Winterborne View home. Tonight, the mother of one Plymouth resident

:00:23.:00:28.

welcomed the move. He was not picking up on that, what else was he

:00:29.:00:34.

picking up on? If you cannot take responsibility for the role you are

:00:35.:00:37.

paid for, you should not have that role. The Devon pub landlord who

:00:38.:00:44.

stole ?17,000 from a dead friend, and defrauded a council for

:00:45.:00:47.

thousands more. And it was 50 years ago today.

:00:48.:00:50.

Beatlemania swept through Plymouth as the Fab Four played in the city.

:00:51.:00:57.

A care worker has been struck off, for failing to respond to concerns

:00:58.:00:59.

about vulnerable adults from Plymouth who were being cared for at

:01:00.:01:06.

a home near Bristol. Brian Clarke, who was a safeguarding adult

:01:07.:01:08.

manager, repeatedly failed to act upon reports that patients from

:01:09.:01:11.

Plymouth were being verbally abused at the Winterbourne View care home

:01:12.:01:15.

by the very people who were supposed to be looking after them. Matthew

:01:16.:01:18.

Hill reports. The revelations about what went on

:01:19.:01:22.

here at Winterborne View became a national scandal. Brian Clarke, who

:01:23.:01:27.

worked for this council, was one of two social workers whose families

:01:28.:01:31.

were supposed to turn to and trust if they had any concerns, but

:01:32.:01:37.

instead, he let them down. It was in 2008, some three years before an

:01:38.:01:43.

undercover television show exposed the abuse, that this woman first

:01:44.:01:48.

raised concerns. She was one of several families whose complaints

:01:49.:01:52.

were escalated by the NHS to a social service where Mr Clarke

:01:53.:02:03.

worked. I complained about restraints being used in the wrong

:02:04.:02:09.

way so it caused injury to my daughter. She had her knee

:02:10.:02:11.

dislocated on several occasions and had to have surgery on her knee. He

:02:12.:02:16.

also failed to respond to this whistle`blower, a charge nurse at

:02:17.:02:21.

the unit. In the meantime, patients considered `` continued to suffer

:02:22.:02:26.

abuse. Brian Clarke had a manager in his office, and they were both

:02:27.:02:31.

dismissed last year, following an investigation into how they handled

:02:32.:02:36.

concerns over Winterborne View. In a statement today, the Council say

:02:37.:02:39.

they fully cooperated with the professional hearing against Mr

:02:40.:02:51.

Clarke. A mother from Cornwall has told

:02:52.:02:54.

Spotlight about her anguish after not hearing from her son and his

:02:55.:02:58.

family in the Phillipines for the last six days. Jeanne Thomas's son

:02:59.:03:01.

Nigel lives near Tacloban, one of the areas worst hit by the Typhoon.

:03:02.:03:05.

This morning she finally had the call she longed for. Nigel Thomas

:03:06.:03:10.

moved to the Philippines nine years ago. The 59`year`old lives with his

:03:11.:03:16.

wife and children, one aged seven and one aged four, along with three

:03:17.:03:21.

stepchildren on an island which was one of the worst hit areas. His

:03:22.:03:26.

mother has been worried since she first heard about the disaster. I

:03:27.:03:31.

was quite alarmed because I knew that was where he was, in that area,

:03:32.:03:39.

so I went to pieces a bit. I was here on my own on the worried, and

:03:40.:03:45.

then, for the next six days, I was all right for six days, not bad, I

:03:46.:03:49.

was staying in to listen to the throne, and I was not getting any

:03:50.:03:53.

phone calls from him, and I was trying to phone him, but nothing, I

:03:54.:03:58.

could not get through to him. She has contacted the Foreign Office,

:03:59.:04:02.

and fronts set up a Facebook page asking for news of Nigel and his

:04:03.:04:06.

wife and children. Early this morning, the telephone rang. It was

:04:07.:04:15.

my son, and he told me he was safe. I did not believe him. I thought it

:04:16.:04:21.

was my brother. He said, it is. I cannot comprehend that he was alive.

:04:22.:04:26.

`` I could not copperhead that he was alive, but he was, and that was

:04:27.:04:32.

not `` and that was wonderful. He did not Tommy any details. He just

:04:33.:04:35.

told me they were all going off to the capital. Nigel Thomas told the

:04:36.:04:42.

family that he was all OK and so was his family, but it was a short phone

:04:43.:04:46.

call and his mother could not find out anymore. She hopes to hear from

:04:47.:04:50.

her son again when he gets to Manila.

:04:51.:04:57.

Underground flooding in a Devon village has left one family battling

:04:58.:05:00.

to stop the foundations of their home disappearing into a nearby

:05:01.:05:06.

culvert. Another couple have been refused insurance against flooding

:05:07.:05:09.

after sewage backed up in their property four times in a year and a

:05:10.:05:12.

third couple have moved out completely. After more than 12

:05:13.:05:15.

months of misery, residents of Starcross near Dawlish are demanding

:05:16.:05:20.

answers. Leigh Rundle reports. I put a pump in to keep my house

:05:21.:05:25.

drive. This man is stuck between a rock and a hard place. His health is

:05:26.:05:30.

thinking. He believes it is due to a build`up of excess water outside,

:05:31.:05:36.

but despite nearly two years battling with the County Council, it

:05:37.:05:42.

has not been fixed. It has been doing it for I don't know how many

:05:43.:05:47.

years. I have lost about a metre square of my foundations, completely

:05:48.:05:52.

washed away. Just next door, his neighbour cannot get insured against

:05:53.:05:56.

flooding. As well as for incidents last year, when sewage backed up

:05:57.:06:02.

into his home. The problem is that the main sewer here, it gets

:06:03.:06:06.

overloaded, and there is insufficient pumping capacity. Who

:06:07.:06:11.

do you hold responsible? South West water. They is their pumping

:06:12.:06:15.

station. They turned it off and decided they didn't need it.

:06:16.:06:20.

Everyone seems to agree, reopening the pumping station would help

:06:21.:06:23.

matters, but there still is the issue of who is responsible for

:06:24.:06:26.

repairing and cleaning broken and blocked pipes. The two biggest

:06:27.:06:33.

players are the highways department at South West water. Devon highways

:06:34.:06:38.

told us it is definitely not them. As far as we know, South West water

:06:39.:06:43.

is responsible for the pipes. South West watcher told us that they have

:06:44.:06:46.

no responsibility whatsoever for any part of the watercourse running

:06:47.:06:51.

under the road. However, the company added it was now reassessing the

:06:52.:06:55.

situation with the pumping station and is currently investigating

:06:56.:07:01.

resuming operations there. For those worst affected by the confused

:07:02.:07:05.

situation in star`crossed, it is too little, too late. The owners were

:07:06.:07:09.

forced to move out here, while parts of their home were rebuilt. The

:07:10.:07:15.

issue remains unresolved. Problems of ownership with watercourses and

:07:16.:07:19.

sewers is not isolated to Starcross. Since we began

:07:20.:07:22.

investigating this issue, other issues have come to light,

:07:23.:07:26.

suggesting many other homeowners might be in the same boat.

:07:27.:07:31.

Earlier I spoke to Peter Shears, a professor of Consumer Law at

:07:32.:07:36.

Plymouth University. I asked him how the people affected in Starcross can

:07:37.:07:39.

get to the bottom of who's responsible.

:07:40.:07:42.

The first thing that we've got to do is, get an independent surveyor to

:07:43.:07:50.

have a look and say, here is the damage, here is the course.

:07:51.:07:55.

Establish that. Until relatively recently, and we do not know exactly

:07:56.:08:02.

when, some agency saw fit to pump despite doubts, and so we know that

:08:03.:08:05.

somebody somewhere has the knowledge that this pipe `` pipe needs to be

:08:06.:08:11.

pumped out from time to time. Once you establish the facts, you have to

:08:12.:08:15.

establish a target, and there are two candidates, it seems. We have

:08:16.:08:19.

Devon highways, who say it is not them, and the other likely candidate

:08:20.:08:24.

is South West water, and they say that they inherited a lot of what

:08:25.:08:28.

they were referred to as assets and a counsellor reorganisation, but

:08:29.:08:32.

that the moment, they do not see that this is one of them. They are

:08:33.:08:37.

too big organisations or individuals to take on. Where do the insurance

:08:38.:08:42.

companies fit into this? These kind of claims, and I hope that it will

:08:43.:08:47.

not get litigious, but if it does, it is probably going to boil down to

:08:48.:08:52.

insurance companies fighting each other, but I hope that at least one

:08:53.:08:55.

of these major organisations is going to step up and get it fixed.

:08:56.:09:00.

We have uncovered more of these programmes as well. What can people

:09:01.:09:03.

do to prevent this happening, to establish before there are any

:09:04.:09:07.

problems who is responsible for what? To be fair, it is clear most

:09:08.:09:14.

of the time. This is an aberration. This is something that South West

:09:15.:09:17.

watcher say they may have inherited as part of this fortune that they

:09:18.:09:22.

inherited when all of this responsibility was put onto them,

:09:23.:09:24.

and they have not really said they will do anything about it. They have

:09:25.:09:29.

said they will look at replacing the pumping station, and that is for the

:09:30.:09:33.

future. It will not do any good to the people now. I hope it will not

:09:34.:09:37.

have to go to lawyers in courts. Thank you very much indeed.

:09:38.:09:45.

A Devon pub landlord who was jailed for fraud for his double life

:09:46.:09:48.

claiming benefits and a council flat in Croydon features in a BBC

:09:49.:09:52.

programme tonight. Stephen Sussams took ?17,000 from his dead friend's

:09:53.:09:55.

bank account and claimed ?15,000 in council and housing benefits.

:09:56.:09:57.

Richard Bilton followed Croydon Council's attempts to prosecute him

:09:58.:10:03.

and recover the money. Stephen Sussams had been getting

:10:04.:10:06.

benefits to care for his sick friend, Keith Dickinson. When he

:10:07.:10:11.

died, he should have told the Council. They say he did not him and

:10:12.:10:19.

he just kept taking the cash. The person he was in charge of Keith

:10:20.:10:23.

Dickinson's affairs, according to our affairs, with his partner,

:10:24.:10:27.

Stephen Sussams. He had actually gone in and started taking money out

:10:28.:10:32.

of the account. The account was not closed, it kept on running, so the

:10:33.:10:37.

Council paying for care for a dead man. The council say that Stephen

:10:38.:10:45.

Sussams cleared more than ?70,000 on his dead friend's bank account. Best

:10:46.:10:53.

represented team thousand pounds `` ?17,000. I have been looking at this

:10:54.:10:57.

case for two years. The more I dug, the more extraordinary it became. It

:10:58.:11:02.

began in one of the smartest parts of Devon. We have heard that Stephen

:11:03.:11:12.

Sussams had been spotted at a pub. It is a historic building on the

:11:13.:11:15.

waterfront, next to a beautiful Marina, and Stephen Sussams seems to

:11:16.:11:23.

be in charge. Has he been here long? Q and a. So for all of that

:11:24.:11:31.

time, Stephen Sussams seems to be living a double life. Croydon

:11:32.:11:35.

Council gave him a flat, reduced Council tax, because they thought he

:11:36.:11:39.

was struggling, but he was living the high life on the militia Riviera

:11:40.:11:45.

`` on the English Riviera. I was wondering how you could get benefits

:11:46.:11:53.

and a council house? The cases under investigation by Council. I have no

:11:54.:11:59.

intent in being involved by a trial by television. You have got a lovely

:12:00.:12:07.

pub. It takes the jury six hours to reach a unanimous verdict. Result!

:12:08.:12:18.

He is found guilty on all counts and jailed for a year. Attempts to

:12:19.:12:26.

recover the money owed by Stephen Sussams to Richard as far as the

:12:27.:12:35.

South of Spain. You can follow his exploits in Britain On the Fiddle

:12:36.:12:38.

here on BBC One at nine tonight. Coming up, we'll hear from the South

:12:39.:12:42.

West skipper who has been forced to abandon a transatlantic race for the

:12:43.:12:45.

second time. Also ahead in the programme: Are you a cider drinker?

:12:46.:12:49.

Well, there's good news if you are. Producers in the region are

:12:50.:12:51.

predicting a bumper harvest. And reliving the hysteria of

:12:52.:12:54.

Beatlemania. It's 50 years since the Fab Four played Plymouth. We speak

:12:55.:13:01.

to some of the fans who were there. Plans for a new town on the

:13:02.:13:04.

outskirts of Plymouth, which have been on hold for nearly ten years,

:13:05.:13:08.

have finally been given the go`ahead. Proposals were first put

:13:09.:13:11.

forward for thousands of new homes at Sherford, just off the A38, in

:13:12.:13:22.

2004. Last night, planners finally signed off a complex list of

:13:23.:13:25.

obligations the development must deliver, which has cleared the way

:13:26.:13:28.

for building work to start early next year.

:13:29.:13:30.

Falmouth yachtsman Sam Goodchild has been forced to retire from the

:13:31.:13:33.

Transat Jacques Vabre race from France to Brazil. Sam and his

:13:34.:13:36.

co`skipper were forced to abandon the race two years ago, and fate

:13:37.:13:40.

struck again last night when their boat suffered a damaged rudder off

:13:41.:13:43.

Finistere, leaving them stranded in Spain. We put ourselves off and

:13:44.:13:54.

started going faster. It topped up and damaged itself come essentially.

:13:55.:13:59.

A wave hit it pretty hard. It got ripped off the boat.

:14:00.:14:07.

A Devon couple who are the first husband and wife team to run the

:14:08.:14:11.

length of South America are back on home soil. It took David and

:14:12.:14:14.

Katharine Lowrie 15 months to run more than 6,500 miles, and they did

:14:15.:14:17.

it pulling a trailer. This makes Katherine the first woman to run the

:14:18.:14:22.

continent. They're now visiting local schools to teach students

:14:23.:14:24.

about the wildlife and geography they experienced out there.

:14:25.:14:27.

Every year, hundreds of families who have fled abusive and violent

:14:28.:14:30.

situations are helped by Children in Need. This is the experience of two

:14:31.:14:33.

families who suffered domestic violence. Their words are spoken by

:14:34.:14:39.

actors to protect their identities and their story begins with a poem

:14:40.:14:43.

written by one of the children, telling us the effect it's had on

:14:44.:14:46.

her life. Before my mother met him, I was a

:14:47.:14:51.

girl in a good setting. I always tried my best, even if I did not get

:14:52.:14:57.

success with stop I always went to school, I always followed the rules,

:14:58.:15:04.

but then he came along. I felt like I did not belong. He always made my

:15:05.:15:12.

mother cry. It was like at home our dad and brothers were mean to us. I

:15:13.:15:16.

felt bruised because I got beaten up every day. My daughter went off the

:15:17.:15:24.

rails. She hated me for a long time. Why did you allow that man

:15:25.:15:28.

into our house and things like that. It was absolutely upsetting

:15:29.:15:35.

because I could not talk to my daughter and my daughter wouldn't

:15:36.:15:43.

talk to me. She was three months pregnant and he threw a TD at her in

:15:44.:15:46.

the alley, and she whacked her back on the railing, so that's got me

:15:47.:15:51.

really upset. That is why I didn't want to go home anymore. Basically,

:15:52.:15:58.

I wasn't around my mother when I should have been, when she needed me

:15:59.:16:03.

the most. When we left the house, I felt kind of happy, because I really

:16:04.:16:10.

hated my big brother. To start with, they were still quite aggressive

:16:11.:16:14.

towards me. It took a wild for them to settle in, but they have really

:16:15.:16:21.

settled down now. Children in Need has changed my life because I have

:16:22.:16:23.

built a relationship with my mother, my brothers, and we have had a good

:16:24.:16:29.

time here, and my brothers are actually able to grow up in a safe

:16:30.:16:34.

place. The children are much more relaxed, much more happy. I speak to

:16:35.:16:40.

people now and there is a lot less heating and slapping going on. ``

:16:41.:16:46.

they speak. The best part here is teenagers are nice to us. The best

:16:47.:16:56.

part about being here, it is safe. And that's the difference your money

:16:57.:17:01.

can make. And if you're fundraising again this year there's still time

:17:02.:17:05.

to get tickets to go along to the Party for Pudsey at the National

:17:06.:17:08.

Maritime Museum Cornwall on Friday night. Just go to

:17:09.:17:10.

[email protected], say how many of you are going along and

:17:11.:17:15.

we'll send you the tickets. Cider producers in the South West

:17:16.:17:18.

say they're expecting one of the best quality harvests the region has

:17:19.:17:25.

seen in the last decade. With just weeks to go until picking finishes,

:17:26.:17:28.

production is already up by 30%. The majority of cider makers in the

:17:29.:17:32.

country are based in The South West. Anna Varle has the details.

:17:33.:17:40.

The busiest time of year for this harvest, and one which was

:17:41.:17:45.

disastrous for many 12 months ago. The weather last summer was

:17:46.:17:49.

atrocious, and we had a very small crop, and the small crop we had was

:17:50.:17:53.

almost impossible to harvest, so we did not make any money at all from

:17:54.:18:00.

our apples. Like many, this family business made a loss last year.

:18:01.:18:06.

Their harvest was down by 60%. But now it is a different story. We are

:18:07.:18:13.

up by probably 50% at least. At one stage, it looked like we would get

:18:14.:18:17.

small marbles for apples, but thankfully the rain came at the

:18:18.:18:21.

right time, and after the long dry period, the crop actually turned out

:18:22.:18:26.

quite well. There are around 480 cider makers across the country, and

:18:27.:18:31.

the majority of those are in the South West. It is a thriving

:18:32.:18:34.

industry, where half of all apples grown in the UK are now used to make

:18:35.:18:38.

the drink. The export market is also booming. These orchards have been

:18:39.:18:43.

producing traditional cider on this council owned farm for the past ten

:18:44.:18:48.

years, and the business has been so successful, it is now selling to

:18:49.:18:52.

China. My goodness, it is a huge market out there. People love

:18:53.:18:56.

British produce and West country produce, and so I would urge any

:18:57.:19:03.

maker in the West of England to look at the opportunities beyond the

:19:04.:19:08.

shores of Britain, never mind their County. Snyder has a fascinating ``

:19:09.:19:19.

cider has a fascinating history. Up until the 1950s, farm workers were

:19:20.:19:22.

commonly paid half of their wages in it. Research shows that cider

:19:23.:19:27.

drinking is on the rise in Britain, and it is one of the few drinks that

:19:28.:19:30.

is enjoyed by both men and women. It is a shame I am on duty! I bet she

:19:31.:19:43.

got off with it eventually! Exactly 50 years ago, The Beatles

:19:44.:19:46.

were getting ready to take the stage for their first really big concert

:19:47.:19:53.

in the South West. The show in Plymouth wasn't their first

:19:54.:19:56.

appearance in the region but it was the first since Beatlemania had

:19:57.:19:59.

really taken hold. So the challenge was how to smuggle the Fab Four in

:20:00.:20:03.

and out of the venue. Neil Gallacher has been finding out how it was

:20:04.:20:05.

done. The Beatles were driven down by a

:20:06.:20:09.

limousine, of course. They were met by the film crew in a car park, and

:20:10.:20:18.

they duly crowned `` clowned around. It was front`page news that Paul had

:20:19.:20:21.

a show the night before to to illness. On into town along the

:20:22.:20:27.

embankment, still playing up for the camera, and in the city centre, it

:20:28.:20:31.

was straight into Westwood television for an interview. I did

:20:32.:20:38.

not really collapse. That was just the Nazi newspapers. I just had a

:20:39.:20:43.

bit of flu. `` that was just the naughty newspapers. Are you feeling

:20:44.:20:48.

all right Mister Mark yes. The concert venue was just two blocks

:20:49.:20:55.

away from Westwood TV. By evening, fans had formed a major crowd. I

:20:56.:21:00.

Westwood, visible in the background, the challenge was getting the band

:21:01.:21:07.

securely into the venue. The answer was beneath their feet, a rather

:21:08.:21:10.

curious service tunnel that could spirit them secretly into the

:21:11.:21:15.

building standing on the block in the middle. From here, they just

:21:16.:21:22.

sidled into the ABC. Although Westwood TV has been demolished, the

:21:23.:21:25.

tunnel into the building still exists, and I heard about that from

:21:26.:21:33.

the horses's mouth. Back then we were happy to travel in the back of

:21:34.:21:39.

ice cream vans or in lorries, it disguises and things. We could just

:21:40.:21:48.

stroll in through the back door. The building is still there today, and

:21:49.:21:51.

just across the alley, so is the cinema, although it is no longer

:21:52.:21:56.

called the ABC. Very little of the concert was filmed, and there is no

:21:57.:22:00.

sound. I have been told the cameras were not meant to film inside at

:22:01.:22:04.

all. From what concertgoers have told me, they did not hear the music

:22:05.:22:09.

either, because there was concert the sharper constant screaming at

:22:10.:22:15.

the show and afterwards. It was a very electric feeling. Everyone was

:22:16.:22:20.

excited they were going to see them. The atmosphere and the screaming,

:22:21.:22:24.

you see it in the news reels, and his is exactly the same. It is just

:22:25.:22:32.

such a buzz. To think in 1963, I was sitting here watching history in the

:22:33.:22:35.

making, really. Not everyone who saw The Beatles that they taught it was

:22:36.:22:39.

historic. This man worked for Westwood, and even cropped up in the

:22:40.:22:46.

archive footage. I was working with a lot of Hollywood stars and big

:22:47.:22:50.

musical stars and stars of television at the time, so it was a

:22:51.:22:56.

bit blase, really. You were The Beatles? They were not as famous as

:22:57.:23:00.

they are now, of course. You were here with her boyfriend at the

:23:01.:23:07.

time. Did you scream? Yes. I think you had to, really. The band must

:23:08.:23:13.

have known their exit drill. Once the Kerstin fell, there was no

:23:14.:23:19.

strolling. They ran. And within moments, The Beatles had left the

:23:20.:23:27.

building. Amazing memories there. And that is

:23:28.:23:32.

how you leave the building every day, isn't it? Always screaming

:23:33.:23:40.

fans! No screaming fans for you, David.

:23:41.:23:46.

It has been a cold day today. Last night we had the first proper frost

:23:47.:23:51.

of the season, and the sort of temperatures we saw were at or just

:23:52.:23:58.

below freezing for many locations. So, the cold has arrived and it is

:23:59.:24:02.

here to stay. It will not really warm up over the next few days.

:24:03.:24:07.

England, there is the risk of frost. Not tonight, but probably tomorrow

:24:08.:24:13.

night. There is much more of a breeze developing, and actually

:24:14.:24:18.

cloudy guys as the showery rain comes in. Tomorrow, the cold wind

:24:19.:24:22.

will make for a pretty raw day with some fine weather and just a small

:24:23.:24:28.

chance of one or two showers. The rain band is already a good part of

:24:29.:24:35.

Cornwell. `` Cornwall. A few showers tonight, but they moved stiffly out

:24:36.:24:40.

of the way. Notice where the winds are coming from by the middle of the

:24:41.:24:47.

day tomorrow. Low temperatures, and also a windshield that will make it

:24:48.:24:52.

feel decidedly cold. `` wind`chill. By Friday, potential for another

:24:53.:24:59.

morning of scraping of the car windscreens as the frost returns.

:25:00.:25:03.

There is a line of rain that I mentioned. It will continue to spill

:25:04.:25:06.

across us this evening and through the night. South West winds

:25:07.:25:10.

associated with that. It will be replaced with showers, showers often

:25:11.:25:16.

off and on right through till Dawn, and also a blustery northwesterly

:25:17.:25:21.

winds developing. It is the developing winds which will be a

:25:22.:25:25.

feature through the day tomorrow. For our five degrees in the

:25:26.:25:29.

countryside, six or seven in the towns and villages. As he moved

:25:30.:25:32.

through the day tomorrow, I left a fine weather and sunshine, but the

:25:33.:25:39.

wind will make it till chilly. Temperatures of ten or 11 degrees,

:25:40.:25:43.

the top figure. For the Isles of Scilly, rather cloudier skies. We

:25:44.:25:50.

will see the risk of sunshine and showers and clouding through the

:25:51.:25:51.

afternoon. Times of high water. Clean surf on the south coast, with

:25:52.:26:06.

this North West winds. Rather choppy on the north coast with that onshore

:26:07.:26:13.

breeze. The wind is slowly during around and becoming northerly

:26:14.:26:19.

through the day. Occasionally, it rests to force seven along the north

:26:20.:26:24.

coast. Showers, then the coming mainly fair, with very good

:26:25.:26:30.

visibility. The high pressure is still in charge. Friday, a rather

:26:31.:26:34.

cloudy day and a cold start to the day. As he moved into the weekend,

:26:35.:26:39.

lighter winds. A lot of low clouds and mist developing which could be

:26:40.:26:44.

stubborn to clear. Generally much cloudy `` colder than it has been.

:26:45.:26:49.

Tomorrow marks one year since Police and Crime Commissioners were

:26:50.:26:51.

elected. 12 months on, how much impact have they had on policing

:26:52.:26:55.

here in the South West? In Spotlight tomorrow we'll be assessing how

:26:56.:26:58.

they've fared and whether they've delivered on their election pledges.

:26:59.:27:02.

We'll hear from victims of crime, get the views of rank and file

:27:03.:27:06.

officers and talk to live to Devon and Cornwall's Commissioner. That's

:27:07.:27:12.

the PCCs one year on, in Spotlight tomorrow at 6:30pm on BBC One.

:27:13.:27:17.

And we would also like your questions to put to the
