:00:35. > :00:38.Poor value for money. all options to avoid a repeat of this are ruled

:00:39. > :00:41.uneconomic. Good evening. An official report says there hsn't a

:00:42. > :00:44.business case for any new r`il route avoiding Dawlish. But tonight one MP

:00:45. > :00:46.has told Spotlight it?s still possible

:00:47. > :00:48.Also tonight: The sky's the limit in Cornwall. Newquay airport could

:00:49. > :00:51.become Britain's launch sitd for the first commercial flights into space.

:00:52. > :00:52.Back to the drawing board ` the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall continue

:00:53. > :01:01.their three`day tour of the region. Back to the drawing board ` the Duke

:01:02. > :01:05.and Duchess of Cornwall continue And the tiny town in Somersdt set to

:01:06. > :01:09.house an international art gallery. There's no economic case

:01:10. > :01:12.for an additional rail line to An official report commissioned

:01:13. > :01:15.after the region was cut off from the rail network in February's

:01:16. > :01:17.storms, concludes that all the options considered offer poor

:01:18. > :01:19.value for money. As Spotlight revealed two wdeks ago

:01:20. > :01:22.the Network Rail study, published today,

:01:23. > :01:24.shows that none of the five options But tonight one of the region's MPs

:01:25. > :01:28.says he's still confident that We'll hear from Gary Streetdr

:01:29. > :01:31.in a moment. First, our Business Correspondent

:01:32. > :01:45.Neil Gallacher assesses Today's report discusses buhlding a

:01:46. > :01:48.modern version of this, and inland alternative to the Dawlish route

:01:49. > :01:52.like we used to have. It saxs it would be poor value for mondy but it

:01:53. > :01:58.doesn't actually say it cannot be done. Network Rail have dond a cost

:01:59. > :02:03.benefit analysis of each rotte and given each a point score. If a

:02:04. > :02:07.scheme gets more than four points it is said to be good value for money,

:02:08. > :02:12.if it gets only one or less, it is poor value for money. This hs just a

:02:13. > :02:17.narrow, economic assessment, but the schools look rather damning. The old

:02:18. > :02:26.route north of Dartmoor gets a score of 0.14. The Newton Abbey to Exeter

:02:27. > :02:32.route gets a score of 0.29. And a set of five alternative new routes,

:02:33. > :02:42.all of which would mean somd kind of channelling get a score between 0.08

:02:43. > :02:45.and 0.17. In Dawlish, there was some relief. Observers here take the view

:02:46. > :02:54.that any alternative inland route could become the only route. It

:02:55. > :03:00.seems like good news, but I don t know why they are considering it.

:03:01. > :03:03.The amount of money they have spent on it, they shouldn't have to do

:03:04. > :03:07.anything else. But alternathve options remain on the table. The

:03:08. > :03:12.Transport Secretary said thd government was committed to giving

:03:13. > :03:16.the region world`class transport in infrastructure. The Prime Mhnister

:03:17. > :03:19.announced ?130 million worth of improvements, but we know there is

:03:20. > :03:23.more to do. Some commentators pointed out today that the proposed

:03:24. > :03:29.inland routes for the region are not remotely expensive by national

:03:30. > :03:33.standards. If we creep up to ?3 billion, it still relativelx modest,

:03:34. > :03:40.but it might come in at ?2 billion. When compared with Cross rahl at ?15

:03:41. > :03:47.billion, HS2 at ?30 billion, Boris Island airport at ?45 billion, we

:03:48. > :03:51.are peanuts. This report from Network Rail would never decide the

:03:52. > :03:54.issue, that is the government, and it's clear there months of `rgument

:03:55. > :04:01.and more detailed costings to lie ahead. We can't even be sat which go

:04:02. > :04:02.on the decision will so. `` certain which government the decision will

:04:03. > :04:03.fall to. We asked for an interview whth

:04:04. > :04:06.the Transport Secretary, Earlier I spoke to Gary Strdeter,

:04:07. > :04:10.the Conservative MP for I asked him where this leavds

:04:11. > :04:21.the options for We are a significant step closer to

:04:22. > :04:24.get the railway resilience we need in the south`west. This report today

:04:25. > :04:28.is only part of a longer`term process and the most import`nt thing

:04:29. > :04:31.coming out in September is ` 30 year look at what we need in the West

:04:32. > :04:36.Country and this resilience report will form part of this, so we can

:04:37. > :04:41.get a plan and a budget in there and then we will have the line we

:04:42. > :04:46.deserve. We are not a step closer to an additional line. If anything we

:04:47. > :04:50.are a step further away frol this report. None of them offer value for

:04:51. > :04:54.money. There is the cost benefit ratio applied to all governlent

:04:55. > :04:57.projects and according to that, that's right, we don't scord very

:04:58. > :05:04.highly, but that is not by `ny means the full extent of the storx. What

:05:05. > :05:07.ministers in London will have to decide is if it is acceptable to

:05:08. > :05:12.have a region of the countrx that every year or two is washed away by

:05:13. > :05:14.floods and they no longer h`ve rail connectivity to the region for

:05:15. > :05:19.several weeks, or even months. The answer to that must be no. Dven

:05:20. > :05:23.though it doesn't provide f`ntastic value for money when you apply the

:05:24. > :05:27.formula, for us in the West Country and ministers in London, thhs has to

:05:28. > :05:29.happen. There is a government determination to make it happen and

:05:30. > :05:34.it won't happen in the next couple of years but it will happen over the

:05:35. > :05:38.Is there really government Is there really government

:05:39. > :05:41.commitment to this? What government before an election would colmit to

:05:42. > :05:47.something that offers no value for money whatsoever? There is ` great

:05:48. > :05:49.deal of commitment, but bear in mind we are not talking about a decision

:05:50. > :05:56.between now and Christmas, we are talking about a process over the

:05:57. > :06:01.next 12 or 18 months and getting this project into the network rail

:06:02. > :06:04.budget. This decision won't be made in five minutes but there's a real

:06:05. > :06:10.commitment that the West Cotntry needs the line and we will campaign

:06:11. > :06:14.for it like mad. Let's be frank how much politics is behind this? You

:06:15. > :06:17.will not come on here tonight and say that it is out of the qtestion

:06:18. > :06:21.and will never happen because there is an election in less than a year.

:06:22. > :06:23.There is no way you or the government would want to upset or

:06:24. > :06:30.worry people in the South Wdst by ruling it out. There is a clear

:06:31. > :06:33.commitment from government that it needs to happen. There's an election

:06:34. > :06:36.in nine months time and there will be one a few years after th`t and we

:06:37. > :06:39.will be judged by the promises of delivering on them. We are confident

:06:40. > :06:41.that something like this will happen and we will get it into the 201

:06:42. > :06:47.budget. Other news now

:06:48. > :06:49.and campaigners have been protesting today against plans to closd beds

:06:50. > :06:51.at Torrington Hospital. The NHS wants to treat more

:06:52. > :07:12.patients at home but local people No postal votes, no proxy votes ..

:07:13. > :07:17.As the campaign to save `` save the beds went on, emotions were running

:07:18. > :07:22.high. We work on the NHS, I am your public servant. What we do hs work

:07:23. > :07:29.with the public on the NHS to get things right. The campaigners turned

:07:30. > :07:32.out today at local NHS offices where a committee was considering the

:07:33. > :07:36.impact of closing local hospital beds. The campaigners claim that NHS

:07:37. > :07:39.bosses have been deliberate Lee running the service down during the

:07:40. > :07:45.time period where the need for the beds was being assessed. Last

:07:46. > :07:50.summer, Sonia's mother had ` hard problem and needed local care but

:07:51. > :07:53.had to be looked after at home. They said it could not be accepthng her

:07:54. > :07:59.because there was no one else to come in. They said it was not

:08:00. > :08:01.shouting until September. When I queried why they said she ndeded

:08:02. > :08:08.physiotherapy because she w`s not mobile and there were no

:08:09. > :08:11.physiotherapists at the timd. In that time, only three peopld we know

:08:12. > :08:18.of used the beds but we do now know, since then, that 100 or more

:08:19. > :08:24.people could have been referred to the hospital from North Devon

:08:25. > :08:27.District Hospital but weren't. The clinical commissioning group thinks

:08:28. > :08:30.it can provide better care by providing it at home rather than

:08:31. > :08:35.through inpatient beds. Instead it wants to use the community hospitals

:08:36. > :08:39.as hubs, providing des servhces and by doing it that way it will

:08:40. > :08:42.preserve the long`term future. The clinical commissioning group insists

:08:43. > :08:46.no decision has been made about the future of the beds and denids claims

:08:47. > :08:51.that the evaluation process has been unfair. We have set up an oversight

:08:52. > :08:55.group which is the meeting being held today. It is not a public

:08:56. > :08:59.meeting. It is chaired by a member of the public. Members of the public

:09:00. > :09:04.are part of that meeting, jtst as we have councillors, the voluntary

:09:05. > :09:06.sector, commissioners and providers. A final decision about the future of

:09:07. > :09:10.the beds will be made next week Meanwhile the NHS in Devon hs

:09:11. > :09:12.deciding which other communhty hospitals will lose beds and minor

:09:13. > :09:15.injuries units, in a major shake`up Today some 270 responses have

:09:16. > :09:19.been published to the documdnt Our Health Correspondent Sally

:09:20. > :09:35.Mountjoy is here. What are the proposed changds

:09:36. > :09:40.question mark more people whll get their care at home and hosphtals

:09:41. > :09:44.will be hubs with day care services and clinics. At some of the 19

:09:45. > :09:48.community hospitals will lose inpatient beds and some minor injury

:09:49. > :09:54.units will close. What our people how to say about it? 270 individuals

:09:55. > :09:56.and organisations have sent in responses to the proposals `nd

:09:57. > :10:02.receiving a summing up of the feedback has been published online.

:10:03. > :10:06.`` and this evening. A lot of people welcome staying at home for their

:10:07. > :10:07.care and they welcome integrated services, but some people are

:10:08. > :10:54.concerned. So if enough people say thex want to

:10:55. > :10:59.keep the hospital beds will be NHS abandon the reorganisation? The NHS

:11:00. > :11:06.group that buys health care for most of Devon was this year ?15 lillion

:11:07. > :11:10.overspend, and year number of people in need health care, partictlarly

:11:11. > :11:13.older people rises by many thousands. If the way health care is

:11:14. > :11:14.delivered is delivered is not changed, we are being told that the

:11:15. > :11:19.money will just run out. The government has put

:11:20. > :11:21.on hold plans to privatise the Land Registry,which records all

:11:22. > :11:24.property sales and employs hundreds Ministers say further consideration

:11:25. > :11:27.of the plans would be valuable, The union says local

:11:28. > :11:41.workers are delighted. We have won a significant b`ttle, an

:11:42. > :11:45.important battle. It will ghve our members more confidence to go on and

:11:46. > :11:48.fight the rest of the war, which we intend to win, not just for

:11:49. > :11:50.ourselves, but also because we provide such a good service to the

:11:51. > :11:53.public. Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks

:12:55. > :12:57.trying to enter his own flat, which was not included in the repossession

:12:58. > :13:03.order. There were six of thdm and they forced me out, forcing me down

:13:04. > :13:09.the staircase. Were you unable to get into your flat? Yes, thdy

:13:10. > :13:13.blocked the way in and said I could not go anywhere. His family are very

:13:14. > :13:17.angry about what has happendd. We are definitely going to write an

:13:18. > :13:21.official complaint to the m`nagers of the company and we're not sure if

:13:22. > :13:25.it will go further. I think it will take a lot of time, but the

:13:26. > :13:33.management of the company h`s to respond. 41 tenants were evhcted

:13:34. > :13:36.from Bartholomew Street in Dxeter after the landlord got into

:13:37. > :13:38.financial difficulties and the property was repossessed. In a

:13:39. > :13:55.statement, the receivers sahd: Housing officers from the Chty

:13:56. > :13:59.Council are working with thd ousted tenants to try to secure alternative

:14:00. > :14:04.operator `` accommodation. Things have calmed down a bit. We have

:14:05. > :14:07.started to rehouse some of the people affected by these

:14:08. > :14:11.circumstances and we are expecting more to come in through the day

:14:12. > :14:14.Tonight a High Court enforcdment officer's Association said ht would

:14:20. > :14:24.comes to mind when space flhght is mentioned, but that might bd about

:14:25. > :14:26.to change. Although to be f`ir, it won't look quite

:14:31. > :14:34.The countdown for the spaceport project w`s

:14:35. > :14:41.The first flights could be blasting off anytime from 2018.

:14:42. > :14:43.It might sound far`fetched but, as Eleanor Parkinson reports,

:14:44. > :14:57.Space travel for many is just a dream, but multimillionaire

:14:58. > :15:01.businessman Richard Branson wants to make it a reality. He sees ` day

:15:02. > :15:06.when space tourists will be able to pay for eight seat on a space plane

:15:07. > :15:09.and orbit the Earth. Now thd government says it wants to build a

:15:10. > :15:14.spaceport. They have short listed eight sites across the UK, `nd one

:15:15. > :15:17.of them is Newquay. Newquay and Cornwall airport has one of the

:15:18. > :15:22.longest runways in the country, more than two and a half kilometres long,

:15:23. > :15:27.and compared to other air fdels it has relatively uncongested `irspace.

:15:28. > :15:33.`` airfields. This is how an American company want to send people

:15:34. > :15:36.into space. Their plane is called the Links. They are looking for

:15:37. > :15:41.sites with a minimal population density and says that Newqu`y fits

:15:42. > :15:44.the bill. Not many people, dasier to fly. Absolutely can see is flying

:15:45. > :15:49.out of Scotland but we also like Newquay. It's a great site for a

:15:50. > :15:53.horizontal take`off plane. The government is committed to spending

:15:54. > :15:56.?40 billion over the next 14 years on the space industry and it could

:15:57. > :16:02.be a big boost for the Cornhsh economy. We are the poorest county

:16:03. > :16:05.in England and we need some better value jobs and this would obviously

:16:06. > :16:11.bring with it a number of hhgh engineering jobs, high`technology

:16:12. > :16:17.jobs, and that would be verx important and would also sp`wn other

:16:18. > :16:20.jobs as supply chains, neardr. And as a space race goes, things have to

:16:21. > :16:28.move fast, as the government wants to see a spaceport opened bx 20 8.

:16:29. > :16:30.One of the region's historic piers is re`opening,

:16:31. > :16:33.six months after it was serhously damaged by the winter storms.

:16:34. > :16:34.Hundreds of thousands of pounds have been spent

:16:35. > :16:40.on Teignmouth Pier after its floor was washed away and amusement

:16:41. > :16:54.For the younger and younger hard, the waiting is almost over, but

:16:55. > :16:58.there is still plenty to do. Cleaning, stacking and testhng. The

:16:59. > :17:01.damage of six months ago me`ns virtually every machine herd is new.

:17:02. > :17:08.And they all need to be put through their paces. Luckily with a lot of

:17:09. > :17:12.the new stuff there's not an awful lot of running on, you just have to

:17:13. > :17:19.plug it in and play, and we hope this will be a popular addition to

:17:20. > :17:22.our things. This was the legacy of the winter storm, damage to the

:17:23. > :17:30.structure and the electrics and the floor. They have put in new beams

:17:31. > :17:35.and new decking underneath. Then half inch plywood with screws every

:17:36. > :17:38.six inches. It is as tight `s a drum, and fingers crossed, ht will

:17:39. > :17:43.withstand anything the sea can throw at us now. Teignmouth Pier hs one of

:17:44. > :17:47.just two left in Devon. Thex used to be more, but now they are a selling

:17:48. > :17:52.point in the battle to attr`ct tourists. We haven't got many indoor

:17:53. > :17:56.places. You go on the beach, then the clouds come over and yot think,

:17:57. > :18:01.what shall we do? Everybody heads into the pier to get out of the wind

:18:02. > :18:05.and maybe the showers, and when it's been done, back out on the beach.

:18:06. > :18:11.The unofficial testers are giving the new amusements the thumbs up. A

:18:12. > :18:17.contrast to last winter and spring, perhaps the darkest day in the

:18:18. > :18:20.pier's 109 year history as hnsurance delays left the family that only

:18:21. > :18:24.about half a century wonderhng if it would reopen. I just didn't

:18:25. > :18:31.recognise the place. I've bden here since I was 12 or 13, working, and

:18:32. > :18:37.to see it like that was horrendous. Some very dark moments. One useful

:18:38. > :18:41.thing in the modernisation hs it will now be easier for people

:18:42. > :18:46.playing here like myself to use the latest technology to count their

:18:47. > :18:49.winnings. Eight so far and H can now take my ticket and going get

:18:50. > :18:56.something at the price tag. I might bring something back for yot. I

:18:57. > :19:06.don't think we should hold our breath. The Duke and Duchess of

:19:07. > :19:09.Cornwall have been in the rdgion today. Prince Charles saw how the

:19:10. > :19:14.Royal William Yard in Plymotth has been redeveloped while the Duchess

:19:15. > :19:18.was treated to a tour of thd newly refurbished library in Exetdr.

:19:19. > :19:24.A chance to share their lovd of locally sourced food. Their Royal

:19:25. > :19:29.Highness is the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall were given a tour of River

:19:30. > :19:30.cottage HQ full stops you fhrmly witting stall was keen to show them

:19:31. > :19:40.his cookery I have always longed to comd and

:19:41. > :19:44.have a taste of what you ard doing. Hoping to inspire other would`be

:19:45. > :19:47.chefs, Prince Charles left ` gift for the jam making class, a plum

:19:48. > :19:53.tree from the Duchy of Cornwall nursery. Apart from anything else, I

:19:54. > :19:57.wanted to give you what looks as though it is holding up the tent.

:19:58. > :19:59.What makes it important for us is that everybody recognises that

:20:00. > :20:05.Prince Charles is a great champion of sustainability, sustainable

:20:06. > :20:10.agriculture and local Artis`n food production, and we are great

:20:11. > :20:15.believers in that as well. Get in the house, Flora. Guns norm`lly make

:20:16. > :20:23.the police nervous during a royal visit. But the Prince and Dtchess

:20:24. > :20:26.were not fazed. This exercise at a fire training centre was designed to

:20:27. > :20:30.show them how a domestic incident can require all three emergdncy

:20:31. > :20:36.services working together. So what did the Prince say about thd acting

:20:37. > :20:40.skills? We were working verx hard not to swear, and he was absolutely

:20:41. > :20:45.right. I was very conscious not to make any bloopers. The warmdst

:20:46. > :20:49.welcome of the day came frol the Plymouth School of creative arts, as

:20:50. > :20:55.the children sang a song celebrating the amalgamation of the towns. It

:20:56. > :21:04.has been 100 years since thdy combined. I wish I first, btt then I

:22:37. > :22:39.audiences can come together. This business partnership are renowned as

:24:07. > :24:10.I was going to ask Natalie first but you got into click. I would have

:24:11. > :24:19.said even clouds. It is mainly low cloud coming in and

:24:20. > :24:23.quite a change overnight. Low cloud, missed, even some drhzzle

:24:24. > :24:28.arriving for tomorrow morning, so different start and a lot cloud

:24:29. > :24:33.around so a bit misty and some low cloud over the hills. Sunny spells

:24:34. > :24:39.will develop particularly over parts of Devon, East Devon, Somerset and

:24:40. > :24:42.Dorset. It is here that we will get the sharp showers perhaps

:24:43. > :24:46.developing, so quite a lot happening tomorrow. A lovely evening but

:24:47. > :24:52.already low cloud is creeping into parts of West Cornwall and ht will

:24:53. > :24:56.gradually moving overnight tonight. Quite a week weather system that

:24:57. > :25:00.trickles in towards us. It hs lying there around the middle of the day,

:25:01. > :25:04.and then it moves away a short while on Thursday. Thursday we ard between

:25:05. > :25:07.weather systems so Thursday is a better chance to see some more in

:25:08. > :25:10.the way of sunshine and then we are watching carefully the area of low

:25:11. > :25:14.pressure off the north coast of Spain. That is the one with thunder

:25:15. > :25:19.and lightning in it and the one that could move towards us overnhght on

:25:20. > :25:21.Thursday and into Friday and possibly with more thunderstorms in

:25:22. > :25:27.the weekend as well. Let's look at the detail. For this evening and to

:25:28. > :25:32.night, initially, a lot of clear skies but more cloud will arrive as

:25:33. > :25:36.the night wears on. Already the cloud is in the far west Cornwall

:25:37. > :25:41.but this was earlier over Exmoor and we had lovely weather with blue

:25:42. > :25:48.skies and cloud. Some of thd moorland is looking a littld bit

:25:49. > :25:52.dry. Farmers are very busy `t this time of year cutting the hax, trying

:25:53. > :25:55.to get three or four dry daxs to get the hay gathered and tucked away. A

:25:56. > :26:03.lovely day today with temperatures of 2223 degrees. Possibly even

:26:04. > :26:06.warmer tomorrow, and the warmth and humidity just increases over the

:26:07. > :26:13.next couple of days. Quite human overnight with the low cloud

:26:14. > :26:16.appearing and for all of us, some cloud blankets become extensive by

:26:17. > :26:23.dawn. Overnight temperatures are around 13 or 14, very mild further

:26:24. > :26:26.west we are. 15 or 16 degreds the western part of Cornwall and

:26:27. > :26:30.tomorrow we will see a few spots of light rain or drizzle and bx

:26:31. > :26:33.mid`morning that has petered out and by the afternoon we get sunny spells

:26:34. > :26:38.articulately across parts of Somerset and Dorset, but also hear

:26:39. > :26:45.there is the risk of a sharp shower developing in the second half of the

:26:46. > :26:48.day. Temperatures ranging from 7 or 18 up to 23, possibly 24 degrees

:26:49. > :26:53.where we get the sunny spells developing. For the Isles of Scilly,

:26:54. > :26:56.perhaps a different day with a lot of cloud around and early drizzle

:26:57. > :27:01.will clear but it stays misty with low cloud throughout the dax. The

:27:02. > :27:10.times of high water sees Penzance at 8:17 a.m.. For the surfers, it is

:27:11. > :27:19.not massive, but it is usable and choppy on the north coast. The winds

:27:20. > :27:22.are mostly westerly, force for, drizzle or fair, moderate to good

:27:23. > :27:27.visibility, and the outlook is for thunderstorms to show Thursday and

:27:28. > :27:30.Friday, and certainly on Saturday there will be torrential downpours

:27:31. > :27:39.possible as well as thunder and lightning. Have a good evenhng.

:27:40. > :27:43.You have been to a good teacher haven't you? That is all for this

:27:44. > :27:46.evening. Good night.
