:01:07. > :01:10.inpatient care after a suicide attempt and dangerous behaviour,
:01:11. > :01:15.but they say the local NHS refuses to give it.
:01:16. > :01:17.With one in ten 5`to`16`year`olds having a psychiatric condition,
:01:18. > :01:20.Spotlight's Matthew Hill has been asking if more can be done
:01:21. > :01:37.I cannot carry on the way that I am living. I have scars they are and
:01:38. > :01:42.all over my legs. Covered in scars from years of self harm, Joe Dodd is
:01:43. > :01:49.a very disturbed teenager who tried to kill himself in February. I
:01:50. > :01:57.didn't get help for that. What sort of thing do you see? Bad people that
:01:58. > :02:03.hurt me when I was young, and I hear people telling me today. He was
:02:04. > :02:07.sectioned under the Mental Health Act. His mother says he was sent
:02:08. > :02:11.back to her a month later with no support. Jane says she was not
:02:12. > :02:20.surprised when he ended up on the roof of a high building two weeks
:02:21. > :02:22.ago. I was brought down here and I phoned him on the top of that
:02:23. > :02:30.building there. He was cutting his arms again. I phoned the police, the
:02:31. > :02:35.ambulance, they came and sorted him out and detained him under the
:02:36. > :02:38.Mental Health Act. His conditions include post`traumatic stress
:02:39. > :02:41.disorder, which stems from the time he was taken into care as a
:02:42. > :02:46.12`year`old because of his challenging behaviour. It started in
:02:47. > :02:52.May 2012 when he disclosed about having trauma at the care home. He
:02:53. > :02:56.needs psychiatric help, and they are just saying that he has not got a
:02:57. > :03:02.treatable mental health illness. I believe that PTSD is treatable, and
:03:03. > :03:06.if he does not get help for it he has not got a future. A letter from
:03:07. > :03:26.another psychiatrist says: Another letter from a child
:03:27. > :03:31.psychiatrist warns it is highly unlikely that he will recover in the
:03:32. > :03:35.setting of the family home. I will either go too far and kill myself or
:03:36. > :03:38.end up hurting myself `` hurting someone. I do not know what I am
:03:39. > :03:39.doing. In a statement, the Child and
:03:40. > :03:41.Adolescent Mental Health Service, responsible for Joe's care,
:03:42. > :03:44.says while they can't comment on the case, it is sometimes not
:03:45. > :03:47.in the patient's best interests to be admitted as an inpatient,
:03:48. > :03:50.and they can be supported with a package of
:03:51. > :03:54.treatment in the community. Meanwhile vulnerable people
:03:55. > :03:56.living in sheltered housing in Devon fear they'll
:03:57. > :03:59.lose support from wardens because of cutbacks
:04:00. > :04:01.by the County Council. The wardens help people live
:04:02. > :04:04.independently in their own homes. But it's costing the County Council
:04:05. > :04:08.?4 million a year, a sum it says should be the responsibility
:04:09. > :04:23.of housing providers. David has mental health problems. He
:04:24. > :04:30.recently moved into this sheltered housing scheme to get more support.
:04:31. > :04:40.They look after your financial needs, contact with the outside
:04:41. > :04:48.world. So it alarms me that I have just moved into the property and
:04:49. > :04:51.that is going to be removed. Funding cuts mean his support worker and
:04:52. > :04:57.others like may not have a job after next March. The most important thing
:04:58. > :05:03.is enabling them to stay in their own home. Helping with things like
:05:04. > :05:09.correspondence, bills, financial things like that, and also social
:05:10. > :05:14.inclusion, helping them join clubs are things they want to do, going to
:05:15. > :05:19.church, things like that. The County Council pays up to ?4 million a year
:05:20. > :05:22.towards the services. Even though it is actually the landlord's
:05:23. > :05:25.responsibility. The council says government funding cuts mean they
:05:26. > :05:30.cannot continue to pay for the services. The council wants to focus
:05:31. > :05:35.the money on directly supporting people with eligible social care
:05:36. > :05:39.needs instead. I understand the financial reason why they are taking
:05:40. > :05:42.the funding away. But it only costs ?500 a year per person in this
:05:43. > :05:49.property. If we end up going into care, you are looking at ?600 a
:05:50. > :05:55.week. I don't understand how they can work out the budgets. The
:05:56. > :05:58.company that runs this scheme is consulting over the summer with
:05:59. > :06:04.tenants to see what services they can provide when the County Council
:06:05. > :06:09.funding runs out next March. The alarm services they all have which
:06:10. > :06:15.provides 24`hour will remain. But other support services we will cease
:06:16. > :06:20.to have funding for. We want to engage with residents to find out
:06:21. > :06:25.the real priorities so we can remodel the service. For residents
:06:26. > :06:32.like David, it remains a difficult time. It is giving me a lot of
:06:33. > :06:34.anxiety because if it is removed, I am going to have to try and deal
:06:35. > :06:37.with the outside world on my own. Police investigating
:06:38. > :06:39.the death of a man found on a Cornish beach in February
:06:40. > :06:41.say a Crimewatch appeal hasn't yet produced
:06:42. > :06:44.any major new leads. Alan Jeal, seen here on CCTV
:06:45. > :06:47.on the day he died, was found with multiple injuries and a sock
:06:48. > :06:52.in his mouth on Perranporth beach. His case featured
:06:53. > :06:54.on Crimewatch last night. The programme received
:06:55. > :06:56.about 20 calls. Detectives were hoping
:06:57. > :06:59.for information about what happened to the 64`year`old the night
:07:00. > :07:10.before his body was found. We have had a number of phone calls
:07:11. > :07:14.last night as a result of the appeal, what unfortunately they do
:07:15. > :07:20.not pinpoint the information that we really need, information of what

:08:33. > :08:37.representing England and have what I think is a great England team with
:08:38. > :08:42.me as well. The hub of the village is the dining hall. 400,000 athletes
:08:43. > :08:49.plus all the support staff, 20,000 meals a day will be served catering
:08:50. > :08:51.for all tastes. We have recipes and authentic chefs cooking all the
:08:52. > :08:57.different curries from around India and Southeast Asia, they can have
:08:58. > :09:01.lots of traditional Scottish food. Like pudding and white pudding,
:09:02. > :09:09.haggis. No deep fried Mars bar as yet. Team England is the biggest,
:09:10. > :09:14.there has been huge investment in sports science, physiotherapy and
:09:15. > :09:19.recovery equipment. The athletes are moving towards the limits of human
:09:20. > :09:25.performance. This type of area is what delivers that, making sure the
:09:26. > :09:28.athlete stays well and injury free. If a problem happens, treat them
:09:29. > :09:33.early and get them back to the field of play. We can move people from off
:09:34. > :09:39.the podium and onto the podium. But we can move them from bronze to gold
:09:40. > :09:43.as well. The athletes are here, the venues are ready on the waiting is
:09:44. > :09:45.almost over. An estimated 1.5 billion people will be watching the
:09:46. > :09:47.20th Commonwealth Games. Earlier I asked Hamish which local
:09:48. > :10:04.names we should be looking out for Some of the marquee names, Joe Pavey
:10:05. > :10:11.in the 5000 metres. Then proud `` Ben Road. And Tom Daley, he has come
:10:12. > :10:18.out to deny reports that he will retire after these games. He has
:10:19. > :10:21.tweeted to say, see you in Glasgow. It is not just the big names. Some
:10:22. > :10:27.of the lesser names are getting their day in the sunshine. Natalie

:10:53. > :10:59.taking their diving there. That is in the pool that hosted the 1970 and

:11:07. > :11:13.And obviously the Opening Ceremony tonight. One to watch? I hope so. I
:11:14. > :11:17.have seen some of the rehearsals, it looks pretty good. I cannot give you

:13:30. > :13:33.year. My first thought was of my husband, and that he is not here
:13:34. > :13:36.with me to enjoy it. But he has done this for me. He had a little word
:13:37. > :13:44.with the Lord above and said let's do something. He is watching over
:13:45. > :13:55.me. What will they do with their share of just over ?250,000 each. I
:13:56. > :14:09.want to pay my mortgage. What about you guys? I do not know. Get a
:14:10. > :14:14.bungalow for my mum. Most of the group has voted to carry on stacking
:14:15. > :14:19.shelves at the supermarket. The atmosphere in the staff room, when
:14:20. > :14:27.we are on our break, laughing all the time. It is nice to enjoy
:14:28. > :14:35.people's company like that. We do joke. The next time your late`night
:14:36. > :14:47.shopping, the smiles may not just be because they love their job so much.

:15:26. > :15:30.years, it will reflect what was going on in the war. At the moment
:15:31. > :15:33.we're looking at 1914, the early battles, we will go on through

:16:14. > :16:18.There was extraordinary enthusiasm in those early days. They passed

:17:01. > :17:05.She had kept them all those years. I just felt they had to go somewhere
:17:06. > :17:12.so I brought them in. I am very surprised how it has all turned out.

:18:02. > :18:05.already here. It is important because the species is considered
:18:06. > :18:08.vulnerable to extinction. They are quite rare in the wild because of
:18:09. > :18:15.deforestation and bushmen trade over there, illegal hunting. They are

:18:24. > :18:29.is bread in a national park in Vietnam, and they are coming over
:18:30. > :18:33.here. He has come over here to increase the gene pool of them being
:18:34. > :18:37.kept in captivity. He will be kept in quarantine for four months.
:18:38. > :18:41.Newquay Zoo has been coordinating the breeding programme here in the
:18:42. > :18:45.UK. But protecting the species relies on more than increasing
:18:46. > :18:49.numbers. Work is going on in Vietnam that might one day enable these to
:18:50. > :18:55.be returned to the wild. The centre we run over there is not only for
:18:56. > :19:00.breeding animals and letting them out into the wild, but it is also
:19:01. > :19:04.educational. Hopefully it will encourage the indigenous people to

:19:49. > :19:53.to the warm summer, something more than just leaves and flowers are
:19:54. > :19:59.growing. It is a citrus fruit about the size of a golf ball. It grows
:20:00. > :20:06.throughout Egypt through to Palestine and Afghanistan. Very
:20:07. > :20:13.rarely do you see it set foot in this country. Planting at the garden
:20:14. > :20:21.started in 1765. The weather has produced quite a few highlights to
:20:22. > :20:27.go with the loquat. You have got the valley with the rhododendrons. That
:20:28. > :20:33.fades out, then you have the Victorian garden with borders and
:20:34. > :20:41.grasses. Subtropical planting. By late summer, you have got what we
:20:42. > :20:47.called the jungle, bananas, its transports you to another world. It
:20:48. > :20:51.is not only unusual fruit enjoying the subtropical sunshine in Dorset.
:20:52. > :21:01.The kookaburras are flourishing as well. We have built a free flying
:21:02. > :21:05.area. 15 years, we have had them. The sound of the laughing kookaburra
:21:06. > :21:10.echoes through the valley and transports you into another world.
:21:11. > :21:12.It has been the warmest week of the year so far, unusual for this

:21:53. > :21:56.to say that we are undoubtedly a continental cafe culture in this
:21:57. > :22:00.part of the world. We love to sit outside eating and drinking full top
:22:01. > :22:04.but there is a risk with that, and today Plymouth City Council decided
:22:05. > :22:13.it is time to get tough and act. Seagulls. For those enjoying a snack
:22:14. > :22:18.and the sun, they are a pest. The seagulls drink out of my copy cup
:22:19. > :22:23.and everything. They try to pack food off the table. They grabbed
:22:24. > :22:28.food out of people's hands! They are disgusting creatures. Such is the
:22:29. > :22:34.problem in Plymouth, the City Council is taking action. If we can
:22:35. > :22:43.remove the food sooner than later, that will deter the seagulls. Also,
:22:44. > :22:48.replacing eggs with false eggs. So that they do not hatch. Eventually
:22:49. > :22:53.the seagulls will move onto another area where can breed. Cafes in the
:22:54. > :22:58.city are a common target for these herring gulls. Trying to clear up
:22:59. > :23:05.the leftovers before the birds do is important. We do a lot to keep the
:23:06. > :23:10.tables free from the birds trying to swoop down. But it will draw
:23:11. > :23:15.attention to the fact that there is a problem, an obvious problem in the
:23:16. > :23:21.city. For new visitors coming into the city, they need to be made aware
:23:22. > :23:25.of the fact that there is an issue with seagulls when they are eating
:23:26. > :23:31.outside. That will only help matters. The campaign asks people
:23:32. > :23:36.not to feed the birds or drop litter, especially food. The problem
:23:37. > :23:39.is worse between April and August when the goals have chicks to
:23:40. > :23:45.protect and more people are eating outside.
:23:46. > :23:48.So far no problems down here with seagulls this evening, but the City
:23:49. > :23:54.Council is also planning to bring in birds of prey to deal with what it
:23:55. > :23:58.thinks is a serious problem. I am joined by the owners of this cafe.
:23:59. > :24:05.How big a problem are seagulls in this part? In the summer they are
:24:06. > :24:09.quite a big problem, if people did not feed them they would be much
:24:10. > :24:14.less of a problem. Adrian, what do you think? Is it heavy`handed
:24:15. > :24:19.thinking about finding people to feed the seagulls? It seems a bit
:24:20. > :24:24.over the top to me. I would favour signs urging people not to feed
:24:25. > :24:27.them. Occasionally we do get problems with people feeding them.
:24:28. > :24:33.If you do not feed them there is no problem. We will leave you to it, it
:24:34. > :24:36.is a lovely evening down here, and so far no dive`bombing from the
:24:37. > :24:44.seagulls. Thank you very much indeed, John. A
:24:45. > :24:54.scorcher again today. It has been even hotter today.
:24:55. > :24:58.The heat stays with us. Slightly cooler Celtic Park in Glasgow for
:24:59. > :25:04.the start of the Commonwealth Games. Clear blue skies, 20 degrees. It is
:25:05. > :25:08.a lovely evening to enjoy that. We have got that on BBC television as
:25:09. > :25:17.well. The close of the western side of Ireland is not worth worrying
:25:18. > :25:20.about `` that line of cloud. We see showers develop overnight tonight,
:25:21. > :25:26.some of them around tomorrow, just for one day. By the time we get to
:25:27. > :25:34.Friday, high pressure comes back. Plenty of showers across the near
:25:35. > :25:35.continent, largely dry for us. A little bit of colour appearing
:25:36. > :25:41.across Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. Showers that are moving
:25:42. > :25:46.towards us overnight. This is the fine weather we have seen today, we
:25:47. > :25:52.had glorious blue skies. More cloud around, appearing through the
:25:53. > :25:57.afternoon. Very little in the way of breeze, it has been a very warm day.
:25:58. > :26:03.Described as hot for most of us. The best place to be, in the water,
:26:04. > :26:09.staying cool. For the next couple of days, a small risk of showers, cloud
:26:10. > :26:13.bubbling up in the distance could be the cloud we develop over the next
:26:14. > :26:19.24 hours. Some of that will come overnight, the odd rumble of thunder
:26:20. > :26:22.possible tonight. Most of us try a clear skies, another warm night as
:26:23. > :26:28.well, overnight temperatures of 17, 18 degrees. Tomorrow, the risk of a
:26:29. > :26:33.few showers moving through Cornwall. In the afternoon, showers developing
:26:34. > :26:37.across parts of Devon especially. One or two of those could be
:26:38. > :26:47.thundery. They are very isolated, for most of us tomorrow it is
:26:48. > :26:52.another dry, fine and warm day. 25, 28 degrees tomorrow. Showers turning
:26:53. > :26:59.up in the Isles of Scilly after lunch time. Times of high water, up
:27:00. > :27:04.to about one foot for most of the beaches. The outlook is for us to
:27:05. > :27:12.remain dry and warm as we head into the weekend. The chance perhaps the
:27:13. > :27:17.show. Have a good evening. The late news is that 11:25pm after
:27:18. > :27:20.the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games on BBC One. We
:27:21. > :28:26.are back with you at 6:30am tomorrow morning. Good night.
