Poor value for money. all options to avoid a repeat of this are ruled

:00:35.:00:38.

uneconomic. Good evening. An official report says there hsn't a

:00:39.:00:41.

business case for any new r`il route avoiding Dawlish. But tonight one MP

:00:42.:00:44.

has told Spotlight it?s still possible

for an additional rail line to An official report commissioned

after the region was cut off from the rail network in February's

storms, concludes that all the options considered offer poor

:01:16.:01:17.

value for money. As Spotlight revealed two wdeks ago

:01:18.:01:19.

the Network Rail study, published today,

:01:20.:01:22.

shows that none of the five options But tonight one of the region's MPs

:01:23.:01:24.

says he's still confident that We'll hear from Gary Streetdr

:01:25.:01:28.

in a moment. First, our Business Correspondent

:01:29.:01:31.

Neil Gallacher assesses Today's report discusses buhlding a

:01:32.:01:45.

modern version of this, and inland alternative to the Dawlish route

:01:46.:01:48.

like we used to have. It saxs it would be poor value for mondy but it

:01:49.:01:52.

doesn't actually say it cannot be done. Network Rail have dond a cost

:01:53.:01:58.

benefit analysis of each rotte and given each a point score. If a

:01:59.:02:03.

scheme gets more than four points it is said to be good value for money,

:02:04.:02:07.

if it gets only one or less, it is poor value for money. This hs just a

:02:08.:02:12.

narrow, economic assessment, but the schools look rather damning. The old

:02:13.:02:17.

route north of Dartmoor gets a score of 0.14. The Newton Abbey to Exeter

:02:18.:02:26.

route gets a score of 0.29. And a set of five alternative new routes,

:02:27.:02:32.

all of which would mean somd kind of channelling get a score between 0.08

:02:33.:02:42.

and 0.17. In Dawlish, there was some relief. Observers here take the view

:02:43.:02:45.

that any alternative inland route could become the only route. It

:02:46.:02:54.

seems like good news, but I don t know why they are considering it.

:02:55.:03:00.

The amount of money they have spent on it, they shouldn't have to do

:03:01.:03:03.

anything else. But alternathve options remain on the table. The

:03:04.:03:07.

Transport Secretary said thd government was committed to giving

:03:08.:03:12.

the region world`class transport in infrastructure. The Prime Mhnister

:03:13.:03:16.

announced ?130 million worth of improvements, but we know there is

:03:17.:03:19.

more to do. Some commentators pointed out today that the proposed

:03:20.:03:23.

inland routes for the region are not remotely expensive by national

:03:24.:03:29.

standards. If we creep up to ?3 billion, it still relativelx modest,

:03:30.:03:33.

but it might come in at ?2 billion. When compared with Cross rahl at ?15

:03:34.:03:40.

billion, HS2 at ?30 billion, Boris Island airport at ?45 billion, we

:03:41.:03:47.

are peanuts. This report from Network Rail would never decide the

:03:48.:03:51.

issue, that is the government, and it's clear there months of `rgument

:03:52.:03:54.

and more detailed costings to lie ahead. We can't even be sat which go

:03:55.:04:01.

on the decision will so. `` certain which government the decision will

:04:02.:04:02.

fall to. We asked for an interview whth

:04:03.:04:03.

the Transport Secretary, Earlier I spoke to Gary Strdeter,

:04:04.:04:06.

the Conservative MP for I asked him where this leavds

:04:07.:04:10.

the options for We are a significant step closer to

get the railway resilience we need in the south`west. This report today

:04:22.:04:24.

is only part of a longer`term process and the most import`nt thing

:04:25.:04:28.

coming out in September is ` 30 year look at what we need in the West

:04:29.:04:31.

Country and this resilience report will form part of this, so we can

:04:32.:04:36.

get a plan and a budget in there and then we will have the line we

:04:37.:04:41.

deserve. We are not a step closer to an additional line. If anything we

:04:42.:04:46.

are a step further away frol this report. None of them offer value for

:04:47.:04:50.

money. There is the cost benefit ratio applied to all governlent

:04:51.:04:54.

projects and according to that, that's right, we don't scord very

:04:55.:04:57.

highly, but that is not by `ny means the full extent of the storx. What

:04:58.:05:04.

ministers in London will have to decide is if it is acceptable to

:05:05.:05:07.

have a region of the countrx that every year or two is washed away by

:05:08.:05:12.

floods and they no longer h`ve rail connectivity to the region for

:05:13.:05:14.

several weeks, or even months. The answer to that must be no. Dven

:05:15.:05:19.

though it doesn't provide f`ntastic value for money when you apply the

:05:20.:05:23.

formula, for us in the West Country and ministers in London, thhs has to

:05:24.:05:27.

happen. There is a government determination to make it happen and

:05:28.:05:29.

it won't happen in the next couple of years but it will happen over the

:05:30.:05:34.

Is there really government Is there really government

:05:35.:05:38.

commitment to this? What government before an election would colmit to

:05:39.:05:41.

something that offers no value for money whatsoever? There is ` great

:05:42.:05:47.

deal of commitment, but bear in mind we are not talking about a decision

:05:48.:05:49.

between now and Christmas, we are talking about a process over the

:05:50.:05:56.

next 12 or 18 months and getting this project into the network rail

:05:57.:06:01.

budget. This decision won't be made in five minutes but there's a real

:06:02.:06:04.

commitment that the West Cotntry needs the line and we will campaign

:06:05.:06:10.

for it like mad. Let's be frank how much politics is behind this? You

:06:11.:06:14.

will not come on here tonight and say that it is out of the qtestion

:06:15.:06:17.

and will never happen because there is an election in less than a year.

:06:18.:06:21.

There is no way you or the government would want to upset or

:06:22.:06:23.

worry people in the South Wdst by ruling it out. There is a clear

:06:24.:06:30.

commitment from government that it needs to happen. There's an election

:06:31.:06:33.

in nine months time and there will be one a few years after th`t and we

:06:34.:06:36.

will be judged by the promises of delivering on them. We are confident

:06:37.:06:39.

that something like this will happen and we will get it into the 201

:06:40.:06:41.

budget. Other news now

:06:42.:06:47.

and campaigners have been protesting today against plans to closd beds

:06:48.:06:49.

at Torrington Hospital. The NHS wants to treat more

:06:50.:06:51.

patients at home but local people No postal votes, no proxy votes ..

:06:52.:07:12.

As the campaign to save `` save the beds went on, emotions were running

:07:13.:07:17.

high. We work on the NHS, I am your public servant. What we do hs work

:07:18.:07:22.

with the public on the NHS to get things right. The campaigners turned

:07:23.:07:29.

out today at local NHS offices where a committee was considering the

:07:30.:07:32.

impact of closing local hospital beds. The campaigners claim that NHS

:07:33.:07:36.

bosses have been deliberate Lee running the service down during the

:07:37.:07:39.

time period where the need for the beds was being assessed. Last

:07:40.:07:45.

summer, Sonia's mother had ` hard problem and needed local care but

:07:46.:07:50.

had to be looked after at home. They said it could not be accepthng her

:07:51.:07:53.

because there was no one else to come in. They said it was not

:07:54.:07:59.

shouting until September. When I queried why they said she ndeded

:08:00.:08:01.

physiotherapy because she w`s not mobile and there were no

:08:02.:08:08.

physiotherapists at the timd. In that time, only three peopld we know

:08:09.:08:11.

of used the beds but we do now know, since then, that 100 or more

:08:12.:08:18.

people could have been referred to the hospital from North Devon

:08:19.:08:24.

District Hospital but weren't. The clinical commissioning group thinks

:08:25.:08:27.

it can provide better care by providing it at home rather than

:08:28.:08:30.

through inpatient beds. Instead it wants to use the community hospitals

:08:31.:08:35.

as hubs, providing des servhces and by doing it that way it will

:08:36.:08:39.

preserve the long`term future. The clinical commissioning group insists

:08:40.:08:42.

no decision has been made about the future of the beds and denids claims

:08:43.:08:46.

that the evaluation process has been unfair. We have set up an oversight

:08:47.:08:51.

group which is the meeting being held today. It is not a public

:08:52.:08:55.

meeting. It is chaired by a member of the public. Members of the public

:08:56.:08:59.

are part of that meeting, jtst as we have councillors, the voluntary

:09:00.:09:04.

sector, commissioners and providers. A final decision about the future of

:09:05.:09:06.

the beds will be made next week Meanwhile the NHS in Devon hs

official complaint to the m`nagers of the company and we're not sure if

it will go further. I think it will take a lot of time, but the

management of the company h`s to respond. 41 tenants were evhcted

Newquay Airport could becomd the launch site for Britain's first

The countdown for the spaceport project w`s

:14:31.:14:34.

The first flights could be blasting off anytime from 2018.

:14:35.:14:41.

It might sound far`fetched but, as Eleanor Parkinson reports,

:14:42.:14:43.

Space travel for many is just a dream, but multimillionaire

:14:44.:14:57.

businessman Richard Branson wants to make it a reality. He sees ` day

:14:58.:15:01.

when space tourists will be able to pay for eight seat on a space plane

:15:02.:15:06.

and orbit the Earth. Now thd government says it wants to build a

:15:07.:15:09.

spaceport. They have short listed eight sites across the UK, `nd one

:15:10.:15:14.

of them is Newquay. Newquay and Cornwall airport has one of the

:15:15.:15:17.

longest runways in the country, more than two and a half kilometres long,

:15:18.:15:22.

and compared to other air fdels it has relatively uncongested `irspace.

:15:23.:15:27.

`` airfields. This is how an American company want to send people

:15:28.:15:33.

into space. Their plane is called the Links. They are looking for

:15:34.:15:36.

sites with a minimal population density and says that Newqu`y fits

:15:37.:15:41.

the bill. Not many people, dasier to fly. Absolutely can see is flying

:15:42.:15:44.

out of Scotland but we also like Newquay. It's a great site for a

:15:45.:15:49.

horizontal take`off plane. The government is committed to spending

:15:50.:15:53.

?40 billion over the next 14 years on the space industry and it could

:15:54.:15:56.

be a big boost for the Cornhsh economy. We are the poorest county

:15:57.:16:02.

in England and we need some better value jobs and this would obviously

:16:03.:16:05.

bring with it a number of hhgh engineering jobs, high`technology

:16:06.:16:11.

jobs, and that would be verx important and would also sp`wn other

:16:12.:16:17.

jobs as supply chains, neardr. And as a space race goes, things have to

:16:18.:16:20.

move fast, as the government wants to see a spaceport opened bx 20 8.

:16:21.:16:28.

One of the region's historic piers is re`opening,

:16:29.:16:30.

six months after it was serhously damaged by the winter storms.

:16:31.:16:33.

Hundreds of thousands of pounds have been spent

:16:34.:16:34.

on Teignmouth Pier after its floor was washed away and amusement

:16:35.:16:40.

For the younger and younger hard, the waiting is almost over, but

:16:41.:16:54.

there is still plenty to do. Cleaning, stacking and testhng. The

:16:55.:16:58.

damage of six months ago me`ns virtually every machine herd is new.

:16:59.:17:01.

And they all need to be put through their paces. Luckily with a lot of

:17:02.:17:08.

the new stuff there's not an awful lot of running on, you just have to

:17:09.:17:12.

plug it in and play, and we hope this will be a popular addition to

:17:13.:17:19.

our things. This was the legacy of the winter storm, damage to the

:17:20.:17:22.

structure and the electrics and the floor. They have put in new beams

:17:23.:17:30.

and new decking underneath. Then half inch plywood with screws every

:17:31.:17:35.

six inches. It is as tight `s a drum, and fingers crossed, ht will

:17:36.:17:38.

withstand anything the sea can throw at us now. Teignmouth Pier hs one of

:17:39.:17:43.

just two left in Devon. Thex used to be more, but now they are a selling

:17:44.:17:47.

point in the battle to attr`ct tourists. We haven't got many indoor

:17:48.:17:52.

places. You go on the beach, then the clouds come over and yot think,

:17:53.:17:56.

what shall we do? Everybody heads into the pier to get out of the wind

:17:57.:18:01.

and maybe the showers, and when it's been done, back out on the beach.

:18:02.:18:05.

The unofficial testers are giving the new amusements the thumbs up. A

:18:06.:18:11.

contrast to last winter and spring, perhaps the darkest day in the

:18:12.:18:17.

pier's 109 year history as hnsurance delays left the family that only

:18:18.:18:20.

about half a century wonderhng if it would reopen. I just didn't

:18:21.:18:24.

recognise the place. I've bden here since I was 12 or 13, working, and

:18:25.:18:31.

to see it like that was horrendous. Some very dark moments. One useful

:18:32.:18:37.

thing in the modernisation hs it will now be easier for people

:18:38.:18:41.

playing here like myself to use the latest technology to count their

:18:42.:18:46.

winnings. Eight so far and H can now take my ticket and going get

:18:47.:18:49.

something at the price tag. I might bring something back for yot. I

:18:50.:18:56.

don't think we should hold our breath. The Duke and Duchess of

:18:57.:19:06.

Cornwall have been in the rdgion today. Prince Charles saw how the

:19:07.:19:09.

Royal William Yard in Plymotth has been redeveloped while the Duchess

:19:10.:19:14.

was treated to a tour of thd newly refurbished library in Exetdr.

:19:15.:19:18.

A chance to share their lovd of locally sourced food. Their Royal

have a taste of what you ard doing. Hoping to inspire other would`be

:19:41.:19:44.

chefs, Prince Charles left ` gift for the jam making class, a plum

:19:45.:19:47.

tree from the Duchy of Cornwall nursery. Apart from anything else, I

:19:48.:19:53.

wanted to give you what looks as though it is holding up the tent.

:19:54.:19:57.

What makes it important for us is that everybody recognises that

:19:58.:19:59.

Prince Charles is a great champion of sustainability, sustainable

:20:00.:20:05.

agriculture and local Artis`n food production, and we are great

:20:06.:20:10.

believers in that as well. Get in the house, Flora. Guns norm`lly make

:20:11.:20:15.

the police nervous during a royal visit. But the Prince and Dtchess

:20:16.:20:23.

were not fazed. This exercise at a fire training centre was designed to

show them how a domestic incident can require all three emergdncy

skills? We were working verx hard not to swear, and he was absolutely

:20:37.:20:40.

right. I was very conscious not to make any bloopers. The warmdst

has been 100 years since thdy combined. I wish I first, btt then I

Time for a look at the weather. David is with us, standing hn front

of some altered humourless lytic URS.

:24:02.:24:06.

I was going to ask Natalie first but you got into click. I would have

said even clouds. It is mainly low cloud coming in and

:24:11.:24:19.

quite a change overnight. Low cloud, missed, even some drhzzle

:24:20.:24:23.

arriving for tomorrow morning, so different start and a lot cloud

:24:24.:24:28.

around so a bit misty and some low cloud over the hills. Sunny spells

:24:29.:24:33.

will develop particularly over parts of Devon, East Devon, Somerset and

:24:34.:24:39.

Dorset. It is here that we will get the sharp showers perhaps

:24:40.:24:42.

developing, so quite a lot happening tomorrow. A lovely evening but

:24:43.:24:46.

already low cloud is creeping into parts of West Cornwall and ht will

:24:47.:24:52.

gradually moving overnight tonight. Quite a week weather system that

:24:53.:24:56.

trickles in towards us. It hs lying there around the middle of the day,

:24:57.:25:00.

and then it moves away a short while on Thursday. Thursday we ard between

:25:01.:25:04.

weather systems so Thursday is a better chance to see some more in

:25:05.:25:07.

the way of sunshine and then we are watching carefully the area of low

:25:08.:25:10.

pressure off the north coast of Spain. That is the one with thunder

:25:11.:25:14.

and lightning in it and the one that could move towards us overnhght on

:25:15.:25:19.

Thursday and into Friday and possibly with more thunderstorms in

:25:20.:25:21.

the weekend as well. Let's look at the detail. For this evening and to

:25:22.:25:27.

night, initially, a lot of clear skies but more cloud will arrive as

:25:28.:25:32.

the night wears on. Already the cloud is in the far west Cornwall

:25:33.:25:36.

but this was earlier over Exmoor and we had lovely weather with blue

:25:37.:25:41.

skies and cloud. Some of thd moorland is looking a littld bit

:25:42.:25:48.

dry. Farmers are very busy `t this time of year cutting the hax, trying

:25:49.:25:52.

to get three or four dry daxs to get the hay gathered and tucked away. A

:25:53.:25:55.

lovely day today with temperatures of 2223 degrees. Possibly even

:25:56.:26:03.

warmer tomorrow, and the warmth and humidity just increases over the

:26:04.:26:06.

next couple of days. Quite human overnight with the low cloud

:26:07.:26:13.

appearing and for all of us, some cloud blankets become extensive by

:26:14.:26:16.

dawn. Overnight temperatures are around 13 or 14, very mild further

:26:17.:26:23.

west we are. 15 or 16 degreds the western part of Cornwall and

:26:24.:26:26.

tomorrow we will see a few spots of light rain or drizzle and bx

:26:27.:26:30.

mid`morning that has petered out and by the afternoon we get sunny spells

:26:31.:26:33.

articulately across parts of Somerset and Dorset, but also hear

:26:34.:26:38.

there is the risk of a sharp shower developing in the second half of the

:26:39.:26:45.

day. Temperatures ranging from 7 or 18 up to 23, possibly 24 degrees

:26:46.:26:48.

where we get the sunny spells developing. For the Isles of Scilly,

:26:49.:26:53.

perhaps a different day with a lot of cloud around and early drizzle

:26:54.:26:56.

will clear but it stays misty with low cloud throughout the dax. The

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

:27:02.:27:10.

not massive, but it is usable and choppy on the north coast. The winds

:27:11.:27:19.

are mostly westerly, force for, drizzle or fair, moderate to good

:27:20.:27:22.

visibility, and the outlook is for thunderstorms to show Thursday and

:27:23.:27:27.

Friday, and certainly on Saturday there will be torrential downpours

:27:28.:27:30.

possible as well as thunder and lightning. Have a good evenhng.

:27:31.:27:39.

You have been to a good teacher haven't you? That is all for this

evening. Good night.
