:00:17. > :00:19.costing ?1,000 a day. Good evening. The new boat is
:00:20. > :00:28.helping villagers reach the outside world, in some cases for the first
:00:29. > :00:30.time this year. We have had wonderful volunteers coming in and
:00:31. > :00:37.out, bringing of things, which is great, but to know that you can get
:00:38. > :00:40.out yourself is great. As a leading union says migrant
:00:41. > :00:44.workers to pay their way, an interpreter here in the South West
:00:45. > :00:47.says it's still too easy for them to claim benefits. They call this

:01:09. > :01:11.a day is helping to get vital supplies into Muchelney on the
:01:12. > :01:15.Somerset levels. It's also helping people who need to leave what is now
:01:16. > :01:18.effectively an island community. But as Sally Challoner now reports,
:01:19. > :01:24.there are growing demands for a longer term solution to reduce the
:01:25. > :01:28.risk of such severe flooding. Sunrise over the Somerset levels.
:01:29. > :01:33.But while the views are stunning, life here at the moment is less so.
:01:34. > :01:38.At least villagers from Muchelney have been able to get to the
:01:39. > :01:42.mainland today. They have been marooned since before the New Year.
:01:43. > :01:47.Wonderful. Finally! So it's a relief. Do you know what I mean?
:01:48. > :01:50.Just to know that you can get in and out. We have had wonderful
:01:51. > :01:53.volunteers coming in and out, bringing us things, which is great.
:01:54. > :01:58.But to know that you yourself can get out is great. And they are here
:01:59. > :02:02.all day at our beck and call! What more can you ask for? ! The boat has
:02:03. > :02:06.been paid for by the County Council but the local MEP says that is a
:02:07. > :02:10.sticking plaster on a problem that needs major surgery. I think we need
:02:11. > :02:12.to be looking at how we deal with water management and whether taking
:02:13. > :02:17.decisions centrally in the Environment Agency is the right
:02:18. > :02:19.thing. Whether we shouldn't be looking at setting up again local
:02:20. > :02:22.drainage boards with representatives of local landowners, local councils,
:02:23. > :02:26.local water companies to make sure that local people who know the area
:02:27. > :02:36.are taking the decisions about where the water goes. There is no arguing
:02:37. > :02:41.with the need. This is the main road to Muchelney. Homes and businesses
:02:42. > :02:45.are submerged too. The clean`up bill is likely to be huge. There is
:02:46. > :02:48.European money available. ?? CYAN We have the opportunity to apply for
:02:49. > :02:54.funding under the European Union Solidarity Fund. We did so five
:02:55. > :02:59.years ago, after the flooding in Gloucestershire. We got some ?30
:03:00. > :03:01.million to help us with the clean`up. I want to see the
:03:02. > :03:04.Government putting in that application within the ten week
:03:05. > :03:09.deadline period and making sure that the people who have suffered are
:03:10. > :03:12.getting some help in the clean`up. While some here are getting used to
:03:13. > :03:20.the attention their situation is creating, most just want life to get
:03:21. > :03:24.back to normal. Well, the BBC's Jon Kay is in
:03:25. > :03:28.Muchelney tonight for a special programme coming up on BBC One later
:03:29. > :03:36.this evening. A short time ago he described the latest situation
:03:37. > :03:42.there. Well, this village is still an island community tonight and the
:03:43. > :03:46.church here has basically become a community centre, a place where
:03:47. > :03:49.people can come and pray and have a time of reflection as they worry
:03:50. > :03:52.about what happens next and what will happen to their flooded
:03:53. > :04:00.properties. It is also a place where they can pick up their groceries
:04:01. > :04:03.that are brought in by rescue boats from the supermarkets in other
:04:04. > :04:09.towns. The post also here. This is the hub where people wait to be
:04:10. > :04:14.returned to normality. The key men this afternoon on one of those
:04:15. > :04:18.boats. Just as we did a couple of days ago. `` we came in. The water
:04:19. > :04:22.levels have dropped a little bit, about three inches. The other day,
:04:23. > :04:27.we were going right over the top of some submerged cars. Now, the roof
:04:28. > :04:33.of the car is with Acorn on the top to make sure the boats realise they

:04:41. > :04:44.in it for the duration. They think it could be a couple of weeks before
:04:45. > :04:47.this please is fully opened up. In the meantime, supplies will keep
:04:48. > :04:53.coming in by boat. People will have to keep trying to get on with life,
:04:54. > :04:56.get out to their jobs and get back to you. It is going to be difficult
:04:57. > :04:59.weekend and a difficult week ahead. Meanwhile, the recent storms have
:05:00. > :05:02.raised concerns about the stability of the region's cliffs. Walkers are
:05:03. > :05:06.being warned to take extra care on the coastal footpath. There have
:05:07. > :05:09.already been a number of land slips and there are fears that the recent
:05:10. > :05:17.heavy rain may cause further problems. Eleanor Parkinson reports.
:05:18. > :05:22.Heavy rain followed by a very dry or very cold weather is bad news for
:05:23. > :05:25.the coastal footpath. Last year in Cornwall, 30 stretches of the
:05:26. > :05:30.footpath had to be closed because of landslides. This week, a section of
:05:31. > :05:36.the footpath in Devon has been shot after cracks began appearing on the
:05:37. > :05:39.ground. Council workers have been assessing the recent damage in
:05:40. > :05:43.Cornwall and walkers have been asked to look out for any problems. We
:05:44. > :05:47.would welcome members of the public reporting to any cracking around the
:05:48. > :05:52.coast path. It is quite obvious. You will see very distinct, linear
:05:53. > :05:56.cracks. You will also start to see some. If you do, walk away from them
:05:57. > :06:01.straightaway and then report into the council and we will deal them.
:06:02. > :06:07.In some parts of the coastline, there have been problems. There has
:06:08. > :06:10.been a landslide here. From the top of the clip, you can see how the
:06:11. > :06:18.grass, youth and rock has broken away, falling 100 feet into the sea.
:06:19. > :06:23.`` grass, moss and rock. This couple are holiday. You have to be careful,
:06:24. > :06:27.any time of the year, but especially this time of year, it is very
:06:28. > :06:34.slippery. You have to take care. High winds, rain. I am more a fewer
:06:35. > :06:37.than a walker! Walkers are also being asked to avoid slipways and
:06:38. > :06:42.harbour walls on Sunday when the wet and windy weather is predicted to
:06:43. > :06:44.return. Onto other news.
:06:45. > :06:47.There's a distinct difference of opinion tonight on the contribution
:06:48. > :06:51.that migrant workers make to the economy of the South West. On the
:06:52. > :06:54.one hand, the TUC has released a guide saying that migrant workers
:06:55. > :06:57.pay 34% more in tax than they take out in public services. But on the
:06:58. > :07:01.other, an interpreter in Cornwall, who helps migrant workers fill in
:07:02. > :07:06.benefits forms, says the system is simply too easy. John Henderson
:07:07. > :07:10.reports. A homage to Cornish labour's past.
:07:11. > :07:14.This week, politicians talked tough about migrant workers and their
:07:15. > :07:19.benefits. UKIP leader Nigel Farage said they should only be paid out
:07:20. > :07:23.after five years. In Redruth, that went down well. We haven't got any
:07:24. > :07:27.money anyway. So please can we, sort of, sort out the things we need to
:07:28. > :07:31.sort out here and not pay money on anybody else? Yeah, at the moment it
:07:32. > :07:34.seems like you're coming across and you're instantly getting a free
:07:35. > :07:37.ticket straight into the system. And this Russian interpreter says the
:07:38. > :07:41.system is too easy, after helping clean benefits for many immigrants.
:07:42. > :07:45.They call this country Field of Wonders because it is so easy to get
:07:46. > :07:48.easy money and it is easier to get benefits and do nothing than to
:07:49. > :07:59.work. The TUC says immigrants bring more benefits to the UK and the
:08:00. > :08:03.south`west. The union says migrants pay 34% more in income tax than they
:08:04. > :08:09.take out in terms of public services. Down here in the West
:08:10. > :08:13.Country, immigration is a very small part of the economy. We're talking
:08:14. > :08:18.about 6% or something like that, in terms of foreign population. And
:08:19. > :08:23.many are coming here to do important jobs or the jobs that local people
:08:24. > :08:27.simply do not want to do. ?? WHITE It might be small but it is still
:08:28. > :08:32.visible. Polish shops in Plymouth. But immigration divides opinion. You
:08:33. > :08:36.know, they're taking the jobs off us so I'm not happy. If they're here to
:08:37. > :08:40.work there then I think everybody has their rights. ?? YELLOW Jobs in
:08:41. > :08:43.this country should go to people in this country. If you've got more
:08:44. > :08:48.diversity coming in... Well, it can't only be but it is mostly a
:08:49. > :09:01.good thing. Whether immigration is good or bad, one thing is clear,
:09:02. > :09:05.controlling it is not easy. Unions are warning that Torbay
:09:06. > :09:08.Council might not be viable as an authority in five years' time, if it
:09:09. > :09:11.continues with severe budget cuts. The union, the Torbay and District
:09:12. > :09:15.Trades Council, says the ?27 million the local authority has to save over
:09:16. > :09:18.the next two years could force it to merge with another council.
:09:19. > :09:23.Our South Devon reporter John Ayres has more.
:09:24. > :09:27.Just four years ago, Torbay was celebrating the opening of a stock
:09:28. > :09:32.Centre which provides accommodation and support for homeless people. It
:09:33. > :09:37.could now lose half its funding from Torbay Council, putting the centre
:09:38. > :09:42.at risk. What it will clearly do, you will see increases in
:09:43. > :09:48.anti`social behaviour, hospital admissions through AMD. Much of the
:09:49. > :09:50.work that we do is not just about preventing homelessness, it is
:09:51. > :09:53.associated behaviours that may go with it. Like most local
:09:54. > :09:59.authorities, Torbay council is having to make large cut of the
:10:00. > :10:03.result of a reduction in the grant from central government. When you
:10:04. > :10:09.have to make such large cuts, how do you protect the most vulnerable?
:10:10. > :10:15.Toby's budget which helps vulnerable groups is facing a cut of 73%. I do
:10:16. > :10:18.not want to help any Torbay that turns its back on the needy. When
:10:19. > :10:21.there are people sleeping in doorways, no help for elderly people
:10:22. > :10:25.who want to carry on living in their own homes, no support for people
:10:26. > :10:30.battling drug and alcohol addictions. I don't want to live in
:10:31. > :10:35.a place like that. I want to live any just and decent Toby. The cuts
:10:36. > :10:38.will also have a big impact on jobs. The unions fear the council
:10:39. > :10:45.will no longer be valuable in four years' time. We will end up having
:10:46. > :10:47.to look at other options, sharing services with different councils.
:10:48. > :10:55.Probably, what may happen at a later date, a merger of a whole South
:10:56. > :10:57.Devon youth authority. The mayor himself admits the
:10:58. > :11:00.authorities might have to share some services in the future but is
:11:01. > :11:04.confident they can help any of the groups that are now facing cuts. We
:11:05. > :11:08.would not have done it at all we have been forced to do them by the
:11:09. > :11:12.members of Parliament and budgetary situation in this country. We have
:11:13. > :11:16.to find a way around it, find new ways of undertaking things, working
:11:17. > :11:20.together in partnership with the Health Service and voluntary
:11:21. > :11:24.organisations and we can probably help some of these organisations
:11:25. > :11:26.working with us to overcome some of these problems.
:11:27. > :11:32.A final decision on Toby's what it is expected in the next few weeks.
:11:33. > :11:36.`` Toby's budget. Also coming up:
:11:37. > :11:40.Gibbons will have a week ahead to the sporting action. Also:

:12:16. > :12:19.The largest joint police operation of its kind in the country to ways

:12:23. > :12:26.with sniffer dogs from the Navy, Devon and Cornwall Police and the
:12:27. > :12:28.MoD took part in the patrols in the city centre. `` took place in

:12:36. > :12:41.Two teams, three sniffer dogs and undercover CID. Their first stop was
:12:42. > :12:45.the Union Rooms. The officers secured the site and then the dogs
:12:46. > :12:53.were sent in. There were 150 patrons within the pub. It was surrounded by
:12:54. > :12:59.officers, secured and the successful drug search was completed with no
:13:00. > :13:03.arrests. No arrests? None. Is that surprising? Not surprising.
:13:04. > :13:08.Hopefully that is indicative of the rest of the night. This was just the
:13:09. > :13:12.first of eight bars and clubs to be searched. Many of the officers had
:13:13. > :13:14.never worked together before. We have started working on lot more
:13:15. > :13:19.closely with Devon and Cornwall Police and our volition chip has
:13:20. > :13:22.flourished. It seemed only right and proper that we moved to the next
:13:23. > :13:27.scale and escalate things to the next level and move our operations
:13:28. > :13:32.in and work together. The goal of the operation was to test whether
:13:33. > :13:35.combining operation of resources on such a larger scale would work in
:13:36. > :13:38.detecting drug use in personnel and civilians. The naval police were
:13:39. > :13:43.responsible for arresting those in the forces. Devon and Cornwall
:13:44. > :13:47.officers were concentrating on everyone else. The military police

:14:04. > :14:08.doing for the last nine months is focusing on the higher offences, the
:14:09. > :14:11.drug trafficking offences, not the straight possession offences that we
:14:12. > :14:14.have seen tonight. That is what this operation is all about. It is going

:17:18. > :17:26.Stephan has now turned his attention to the next generation. And he has
:17:27. > :17:30.found the perfect people. He has the most biomechanical efficient action
:17:31. > :17:33.I have seen any youngster. It is really explosive at the crease. He
:17:34. > :17:37.has a long delivery stride, a greater delay on the right side of
:17:38. > :17:45.his body. He uses stored energy in his right side, in his hips. He can
:17:46. > :17:50.bowl genuinely quickly for his age. Yes just concerned `` he has just
:17:51. > :17:53.turned 16 and has moved from Birmingham to take advantage of
:17:54. > :18:01.Stephan's expertise. It is not just cricket, body wise, I have grown up
:18:02. > :18:08.and still maturing so I am learning every day. His training is tailored
:18:09. > :18:12.for power and speed but his bowling at 90 mph, is it a realistic ago?
:18:13. > :18:20.Bear I think it is incredibly realistic. `` with the structure and
:18:21. > :18:26.support I have, I think it is a great goal to achieve. His natural

:19:22. > :19:25.war. The Government introduced the medals in 2012, more than six
:19:26. > :19:33.decades after the conflict ended. Hamish Marshall was at the ceremony
:19:34. > :19:44.in Yeovilton. It was 8/2 but a vital job. `` a
:19:45. > :19:47.tough but vital. The Arctic convoys delivered aid to the Soviet Union
:19:48. > :19:51.during the Second World War, running the gauntlet of submarine, flight
:19:52. > :19:56.and surface ship attacks. The main thing was the cold. Not only was it
:19:57. > :20:03.absolutely freezing on the deck with the wind, but the thought that if my
:20:04. > :20:09.single engine aircraft, if the engine failed, I would be in the
:20:10. > :20:13.waters of minus 10 Celsius. That is what frightened me most, I think. If
:20:14. > :20:20.the engine stopped and I had to land in the water. This is a long serving
:20:21. > :20:28.member of the helicopter test pilot. John received one of ten Arctic Star
:20:29. > :20:31.medals today. The chance to remember and to share stories. It was
:20:32. > :20:38.necessary because the Russians wanted all the ornaments, aircraft,
:20:39. > :20:44.tanks, lorries, everything that a country needs to keep the services
:20:45. > :20:49.and the army going. Today's fitting, in an area of a museum which
:20:50. > :20:54.commemorates the battle of the Atlantic, was very appropriate. The
:20:55. > :21:01.idea of bringing the Bollinger and having a naval officer give out the
:21:02. > :21:07.medals was a privilege. How nice is to have the recognition question and
:21:08. > :21:11.clamour it is very nice but I would like to know why they have get it
:21:12. > :21:15.for so long! To many, the medals have come too late. Sadly, three of
:21:16. > :21:20.those who should have been here today have died.
:21:21. > :21:22.The incredible veterans of the Arctic convoys.
:21:23. > :21:26.A feisty ferret is causing a kerfuffle at a Plymouth rescue
:21:27. > :21:29.centre. Grumpy Gareth has such a bad attitude problem nobody wants to
:21:30. > :21:33.adopt him. He was taken home by new owners but
:21:34. > :21:36.they marched him back to the isolation wing of Woodside's high
:21:37. > :21:39.security Ferret fun house because he can't get along with other ferrets.
:21:40. > :21:43.Johnny Rutherford has been to meet him.
:21:44. > :21:52.He has taken his life into his own hands!
:21:53. > :22:04.Meet Gareth, a five`year`old white albino ferret has a bit of an
:22:05. > :22:07.attitude rotten so he gets called Grant `` Grumpy Gareth. Somebody
:22:08. > :22:13.called him Victor Meldrew the other day but he is happy. He is
:22:14. > :22:19.misunderstood, not grumpy. He is set in his ways. He knows what he likes
:22:20. > :22:24.and likes what he knows, I think. This area is the ferret fun house
:22:25. > :22:26.but unfortunately for Grumpy Gareth, he is not allowed to play
:22:27. > :22:32.with the others because he is not very sociable. Instead, he has his
:22:33. > :22:38.own bachelor pad. You're not really grumpy, are you, Gareth? I think his
:22:39. > :22:41.yellowing meets believe he is. Most people looking for ferrets are
:22:42. > :22:45.looking for a companion for an existing ferret so obviously they
:22:46. > :22:50.are sociable, living in families of more than eight. Him, he is just a
:22:51. > :22:55.little loner, unfortunately. He did find a home but the people
:22:56. > :23:01.wanted more of an indoor ferret and Gareth likes the outdoors and was a
:23:02. > :23:06.bit mischievous. Our ferrets good pets yes.
:23:07. > :23:12.Very sociable, Hannibal, a great laugh to watch and play. People take
:23:13. > :23:22.them out on harnesses to walk. `` very sociable, funny.
:23:23. > :23:24.Oh, dear little Gareth! Misunderstood, not grumpy. He
:23:25. > :23:26.reminds me of someone, just in. Now, with a look at the weekend
:23:27. > :23:30.weather prospects, reminds me of someone, just in.
:23:31. > :23:37.Now, with here's Kawser. More in the way of cloud around this
:23:38. > :23:40.evening and some patchy light rain making its way across us but it will
:23:41. > :23:43.clear for tomorrow. Tomorrow, the start of the weekend, dry, bright
:23:44. > :23:47.weather with sunshine, surprisingly. It will be a pleasant
:23:48. > :23:52.day. Feeling quite cool was later winds. A crisp, winter day in four

:24:08. > :24:10.Later winds, as I mentioned, but look behind me, the next area of low
:24:11. > :24:13.pressure and weather fronts which will come towards us for Sunday. A
:24:14. > :24:18.brief respite from the stormy weather. For Sunday, wet, windy
:24:19. > :24:21.weather. Look at how to get isobars are. It will be strengthening winds
:24:22. > :24:26.throughout the course of the day but not as much rain as we have seen
:24:27. > :24:29.lately. For this evening, that light, patchy rain will continue to
:24:30. > :24:33.clear through and by the early hours, under the clear skies,
:24:34. > :24:38.editors are likely to fall. In towns and cities, we are looking at around
:24:39. > :24:43.Celsius but it will be cooler in rural spots. The dot of frost and
:24:44. > :24:48.also from icy stretches. In fact, there was a Met Office be aware
:24:49. > :24:51.warning for the risk of some ice on untreated roads and pavements. Take
:24:52. > :24:55.care of your out and about tomorrow. Tomorrow itself, the cloud will thin
:24:56. > :25:00.and break and we will see sunshine in the forecast. The winds will be
:25:01. > :25:04.lighter but it is quite chilly. Temperatures in towns and cities
:25:05. > :25:07.around nine or 10 Celsius at best. In the sunshine, with those later
:25:08. > :25:12.winds, it will be a nice day as long as you're up top fairly warmly. For
:25:13. > :25:17.the alpha silly, after any rain clears away, we're looking at a dry
:25:18. > :25:19.day, a brighter day with sunshine, like twins but feeling quite cool.

:26:07. > :26:09.better day of the weekend. Some crisp sunshine, lighter winds,
:26:10. > :26:12.before more in the way of cloud and rain to come later in the day on
:26:13. > :26:17.Sunday. Rather unsettled conditions for the start of next week also. Not
:26:18. > :26:21.a significant amount of rain but we are looking at around 50 millimetres
:26:22. > :26:24.but falling on already saturated ground and from swollen rivers. ``
:26:25. > :26:29.15 millilitres. If you are concerned, this is the flood plain
