:01:06. > :01:09.has been given to more than seventy people even

:01:10. > :01:11.though they were allergic to it and that fact was recorded

:01:12. > :01:14.on some of the patients' notes. The mistakes have been condemned

:01:15. > :01:16.by the the Patients Association which says

:01:17. > :01:18.the consequences can be fatal and Around one in 15 people has

:01:46. > :01:52.of information requests, Beresford confirmed that there were

:01:53. > :01:56.23 incidents last year when a patient with an allergy to

:01:57. > :02:06.penicillin was given it. The Royal Cornwall Hospital says

:02:07. > :02:12.that 32 patients were recorded At North Devon District Hospital,

:02:13. > :02:16.six patients with documented allergy to penicillin were given it,

:02:17. > :02:18.plus one with recorded sensitivity. The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital

:02:19. > :02:21.had 12 cases, one of those patients was wearing a red band on their

:02:22. > :02:25.wrist, and six had the allergy Torbay Hospital said

:02:26. > :02:28.its figures were so low it could not release them because it might

:02:31. > :02:34.did suffer a severe reaction have 80`year`old John Dowding died

:02:35. > :02:37.at Derriford Hospital in 2012 after being given penicillin

:02:38. > :02:43.despite being allergic to it. An inquest in May found that drug

:02:47. > :02:53.being made with the release I am a little bit disappointed that

:02:54. > :02:59.it is so high, however, I am encouraged that at least they are

:03:00. > :03:01.reporting all these incidents, and I am aware that the hospitals that are

:03:02. > :03:06.performing the best are the ones Derriford Hospital says it

:03:07. > :03:35.takes the risks associated with allergic

:03:36. > :03:38.reactions very seriously, and it is reporting rate says it is showing

:03:39. > :03:47.a strong patient safety culture. New figures obtained by Spotlight

:03:48. > :03:50.show the true scale of homelessness They reveal that

:03:51. > :03:55.around 500 people in The figure for Devon is 162,

:03:56. > :04:00.in Cornwall it?s 69, in Somerset Campaigners say the economic

:04:01. > :04:07.downturn has made matters worse. In one part of Somerset campaigners

:04:08. > :04:12.are appealing for more people to offer their beds

:04:13. > :04:18.to those who have nowhere to go. A makeshift bedroom in the centre

:04:19. > :04:23.of Yeovil, and hundreds Calling

:04:42. > :04:49.of these youngsters in Yeovilton over the past few years,

:04:50. > :04:51.including Aaron Gilford. When you open your front door, you

:04:52. > :04:54.are not really sure what you are going to see, and some of them are

:04:55. > :04:57.very closed off, and very anxious. Once they have had a hot meal

:04:58. > :05:01.and a shower, and they have had a good night's sleep, because some

:05:02. > :05:04.of them have been sofa surfing for some time, the next morning,

:05:05. > :05:06.they are a different person. Hosts get expenses to cover

:05:31. > :05:34.downturn for family break`ups. Our first point is always to see

:05:35. > :05:37.whether they can work with families, work with young people to get them

:05:38. > :05:40.to return home. But the reality is that

:05:41. > :05:43.for some young people, it is not Jess is staying at an emergency

:06:21. > :06:21.to youngsters' problems. 16 to 24`year`olds remain

:06:22. > :06:29.worst hit by the recession. A vintage aircraft has crashed on

:06:30. > :06:40.the runway at RAF cold roast. As we heard earlier a pilot had

:06:41. > :06:43.a lucky escape today at RNAS Culdrose, when his aircraft appeared

:06:44. > :06:46.to lose power and crash landed. The pilot of the Sea Fury

:06:47. > :06:58.escaped without serious injury. We would call this a crash landing

:06:59. > :07:10.rather than emergency landing. You can see the fire engines. You can

:07:11. > :07:17.see the plane from our NAS Yeovilton. Smoke came from the

:07:18. > :07:19.aircraft. It was the penultimate aircraft display at five o'clock

:07:20. > :07:25.this afternoon, and very quickly, the aircraft came down. Freelance

:07:26. > :07:35.photographers took pictures of this, which we have now. We can run that

:07:36. > :07:39.sequence of stills. You can see the engine smoking badly. But its

:07:40. > :07:43.undercarriage does not come down correctly. The undercarriage

:07:44. > :07:59.collapses, and it spins onto the grass, and the pilot, he got out and

:08:00. > :08:11.walked away. The photographer Toby what he saw. A lot of smoke started

:08:12. > :08:19.coming out, on the starboard side, and he seemed to have lost power.

:08:20. > :08:29.There was a lot of smoke. He went straight across the crowd area. So

:08:30. > :08:38.far, there has been no formal communication from the MOD or from

:08:39. > :08:40.the Royal Navy. We will bring you their communication later. But the

:08:41. > :08:44.important thing to say is that no one was injured in this. In

:08:45. > :08:50.formally, naval pilots that were around this afternoon, they said

:08:51. > :09:39.that if you were to crash, that was the textbook way of doing it.

:09:40. > :09:51.Gliding into water. Meet Natasha, she was born with cerebral palsy.

:09:52. > :09:58.There is no stopping this 17`year`old, thanks to this special

:09:59. > :10:04.mechanism. It operates via a tube that she has in her mouth. At

:10:05. > :10:09.present, she is in steering mode, and if Natasha was too sick, she

:10:10. > :10:17.would go to starboard, and if she was to pass we would go to port.

:10:18. > :10:21.Plymouth is the halfway mark in her challenge to sail the entire

:10:22. > :10:28.south`west coast. The hot weather has made it harder. It is hot, but

:10:29. > :10:35.Natasha is suffering. It can get pretty hot. I have had to stipulate

:10:36. > :10:43.that the helmet has come off so we can browser down. She does not like

:10:44. > :10:49.the autopilot! She thinks it is cheating. She would prefer to be in

:10:50. > :10:54.control. Phil knows who is boss on board. But he is there to supervise.

:10:55. > :10:59.The yacht has been specially adapted The yacht has been specially adapted

:11:00. > :11:06.to create an air lock should it cap size, and there is a safety boat. It

:11:07. > :11:14.is amazing. It often brings a tear to my eye, with a smile on her face.

:11:15. > :11:18.She just loves it. She is hoping that passion will inspire others

:11:19. > :11:25.with disabilities to get out onto the water. She is trying to raise

:11:26. > :11:32.?15,000 for the RNLI and two other charities. She is an inspiration to

:11:33. > :11:38.ceremony other people. What she is doing is extraordinary. The fact she

:11:39. > :11:49.is going out there is testament to who she is. There is no hiding her

:11:50. > :11:58.parents pride. Even if it is laced with trepidation. It is terrifying!

:11:59. > :12:08.How are you feeling about it? Cool! It is cool!

:12:09. > :12:10.Firefighters in the south west will be involved in a further eight

:12:11. > :12:13.days of strike action in a dispute with the Government over pensions.

:12:14. > :12:17.The Fire Brigades Union is unhappy that its members face the prospect

:12:18. > :12:20.of dismissal if they can't maintain fitness levels up to the age of 60.

:12:21. > :12:22.They're also unhappy at the cut in pension that happens

:12:23. > :12:26.Prison officers say they have no confidence in the leadership

:12:27. > :12:31.Staff at Channings Wood ` near Newton Abbot ` took a vote

:12:32. > :12:34.on the issue after what they claim has been an increase in assaults.

:12:35. > :12:36.The Ministry of Justice says Channings Wood is

:12:37. > :12:42.a "safe and decent" prison with "low levels of violence."

:12:43. > :12:45.Major roadworks are planned on the A38 that will last a year.

:12:46. > :12:48.It's to replace a bridge that has concrete cancer.

:12:49. > :12:51.The work is due to start in the Spring and will involve contraflows

:12:52. > :12:57.and narrow lanes between Marsh Mills and Deep Lane in Plymouth.

:12:58. > :12:59.Lifeguards have released this footage of a young girl being

:13:00. > :13:03.rescued, to highlight the danger of rip currents.

:13:04. > :13:08.She got into difficulty at Chapel Porth near St Agnes yesterday.

:13:09. > :13:11.She's the ninth person to be saved on the beach in recent days.

:13:12. > :13:13.Storms have created offshore sandbanks which allow strong

:13:14. > :13:24.It's been another successful day at the Commonwealth Games

:13:25. > :13:27.for Devon's lawn bowlers, with at least two silver medals guaranteed.

:13:28. > :13:30.In the pool, Plymouth divers Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow have

:13:31. > :13:32.been back in action in the Preliminary round of the individual

:13:33. > :13:34.event alongside England's youngest team member, Victoria Vincent.

:13:35. > :13:58.The first dive in a major games for Victoria Vincent. What a massive

:13:59. > :14:06.opening dive from VV! For VV, as she is known, it was a good chance to

:14:07. > :14:12.dive without pressure. Victoria won the British title in June, and was

:14:13. > :14:25.included in the games following an appeal. She did more than hold her

:14:26. > :14:34.own. Nice dive from Sarah. Tonia Couch has defensive her chances of

:14:35. > :14:39.another medal after finishing with another good diet. The good times

:14:40. > :14:42.keep on rolling for Natalie Moore. She has booked a place in

:14:43. > :14:49.tomorrow's final, meaning she has another silver. Her fiance is

:14:50. > :15:03.looking to get a hand on a medal of his own. He's an action right now

:15:04. > :15:05.against India. There will be another medal for the family. Sophie is part

:15:06. > :15:12.of the women's team. We play of the women's team. We play

:15:13. > :15:17.altogether. We play well as unit, and so we have to play the best

:15:18. > :15:20.bowls we can, and hope we do it. Whatever happens, she is guaranteed

:15:21. > :15:32.to walk away with at least a silver, and maybe a gold. It looks like she

:15:33. > :15:37.may make it a gold medal, because she is leading by 20 points to one.

:15:38. > :15:40.Well, one of the areas where Team England have excelled in

:15:41. > :15:44.Plymouth's John Rudd has played a major part in that success

:15:45. > :15:49.He's just got back from Glasgow and joined us earlier today.

:15:50. > :15:52.John, first of all, many congratulations on a fantastic

:15:53. > :15:55.performance by the team, but let's talk a bit about Ben first of all.

:15:56. > :16:00.Certainly getting up to his name for his region.

:16:01. > :16:02.What did you make of his performance?

:16:03. > :16:07.We knew he was one of the fastest swimmers going into the competition,

:16:08. > :16:11.but these art events where the margins are so small, you never know

:16:12. > :16:16.So to come back with two individual gold medals, and...

:16:17. > :16:20.Breaking the British record in both and the game trickled in by,

:16:21. > :16:25.He comes across as a mild mannered young man.

:16:26. > :16:39.I don't think there was anyone more surprised than him when he

:16:40. > :16:48.His natural persona is to be quiet and very unassuming.

:16:49. > :16:51.How have you worked with him to get him up to this level?

:16:52. > :16:53.What is the training set schedule running up

:16:54. > :17:04.Even for an event that lasts 21 or 20 seconds.

:17:05. > :17:08.He swims nine times a week, he is in the gym a novel lot,

:17:09. > :17:10.he spent a lot of time with the physiotherapist, running him

:17:11. > :17:14.around and trying to make him better in terms of his muscular structure.

:17:15. > :17:18.He has to eat rest a lot, and he has teak consume a lot of food.

:17:19. > :17:21.But he is also doing a degree at University at the same time.

:17:22. > :17:28.So his life is pretty hectic, and he has a lot to fit in.

:17:29. > :17:31.You work with Ben on a weekly basis, but as coach of team England, you

:17:32. > :17:36.So how different is it working with some of those swimmers

:17:37. > :17:38.for a very short time as opposed on a weekly basis?

:17:39. > :17:41.It was definitely a challenge, because we did not have a lot

:17:42. > :17:46.of time to create what we wanted, which was an identity for England.

:17:47. > :17:50.We said right from the outset, we thought Scottish people found it

:17:51. > :17:54.quite easy to feel Scottish, and Welsh people had it easy to

:17:55. > :17:58.feel Welsh, but in this people tend to feel British.

:17:59. > :18:01.We wanted to create something that was an English identity.

:18:02. > :18:06.We have a seven`day preparation camp, at the aquatic centre in the

:18:07. > :18:12.Olympic pool, and we tried to create an identity, to deal part of a team.

:18:13. > :18:17.I conducted one`to`ones with each athlete,

:18:18. > :18:24.By the end of that, we have struck a bond, all of us.

:18:25. > :18:27.We had a great group of coaches working with me as well,

:18:28. > :18:34.We use the time wisely, and by the time we arrived in Glasgow,

:18:35. > :18:40.Part of the team was Liam Tancock from Exeter.

:18:41. > :18:43.He was doing well considering he was coming back

:18:44. > :18:51.Many people had written them off, and one of the people with

:18:52. > :18:59.To win two medals in the individual event, and heat swampy medley relay

:19:00. > :19:05.heat, which meant he also got a gold as part of that relay as well,

:19:06. > :19:19.That is a hell of an achievement to anybody.

:19:20. > :19:21.He is good value to have on the team,

:19:22. > :19:25.He is the old man of the team, and he brings positivity with him.

:19:26. > :19:28.This has been fantastic success for team England.

:19:29. > :19:32.Will you hope to have a role in that in 2016?

:19:33. > :19:36.I would love to be part of convocation is that I'd do not

:19:37. > :19:43.Hopefully, I will still be looking after Rita

:19:44. > :19:47.at that stage as well, but I am sure that we will be involved in Rio

:19:48. > :19:52.I know more competitions beckon, but congratulations

:19:53. > :20:09.Culdrose, when his aircraft appeared to lose power and crash landed.

:20:10. > :20:11.The pilot of the Sea Fury escaped without serious injury.

:20:12. > :20:14.Apart from that incident though it was a day of celebrations,

:20:15. > :20:41.Even before this afternoon's air show started, the crowd was treated

:20:42. > :20:53.this mad display. The aircraft's callsign is golf echo... Gee`whiz.

:20:54. > :20:59.The star of today's show must be this Vulcan bomber. It carried

:21:00. > :21:03.Britain's nuclear deterrent in the 60s, and the pilot today is the man

:21:04. > :21:15.who bombed Port Stanley runway in the Falklands. It has big engines

:21:16. > :21:19.and it is very manoeuvrable. It is a delight to fly. He told me a little

:21:20. > :21:22.earlier on, just before he set off this flight, that most of that noise

:21:23. > :21:38.that we are hearing if the air sucked into those for huge engines.

:21:39. > :21:45.It is an inspiring machine. It is huge. It has an amazing how, and I

:21:46. > :21:49.think that is what people love to hear. The displays are carefully

:21:50. > :21:55.coordinated by the team in the control tower. We have a response

:21:56. > :21:59.worked out minuted by minute. There will be little slippages left and

:22:00. > :22:03.right, but not by much. The important thing is we keep it calm.

:22:04. > :22:11.The howl aim of the date is to put on a safe and enjoyable day for the

:22:12. > :22:19.public. This helicopter is popular for a look around. In the last 24

:22:20. > :22:25.hours, all of the Culdrose Sea Kings are back home. Now they are

:22:26. > :22:32.preparing to return for the sea. It will be nice to get on board. It

:22:33. > :22:38.will be good. It will be good to get back to the grassroots of what we

:22:39. > :22:43.put in force. Back in the air, and the Culdrose whether state fair for

:22:44. > :22:49.aircraft to complete their displays. The Canberra shining in the States

:22:50. > :22:53.afternoon sun. No airshow is complete without what must be

:22:54. > :23:08.Britain's most famous aircraft of all time.

:23:09. > :23:16.The noise on television does not do it justice. Some decent weather

:23:17. > :23:20.there. But things are about to change. Today has been the last

:23:21. > :23:23.decent date. We are turning the corner as we move through this

:23:24. > :23:28.evening and overnight. To much more unsettled weather. It does change

:23:29. > :23:32.substantially. The main area of low pressure of each of the start of the

:23:33. > :23:35.weekend, but it does move out of the way fairly quickly. Expect an

:23:36. > :23:40.improvement. I will come to that in just a second. There will be

:23:41. > :23:43.showers, and the showers will link together to give some more

:23:44. > :23:50.persistent rain. It will be a little bit cooler, too. The showers have

:23:51. > :23:54.just been to the north of us. The line of showers will continue to

:23:55. > :24:01.move up towards Wales. Overnight tonight, some dry weather. Chance of

:24:02. > :24:06.a shower anywhere, but temperatures not as low as they were last night.

:24:07. > :24:12.Still the stream of showers close to the North Devon coast. Overnight

:24:13. > :24:15.tempted will dip down to 14 or 15 degrees, may be lower than that, but

:24:16. > :24:18.tomorrow will be a completely different start of the day compared

:24:19. > :24:21.with what we have seen today. This is what we saw at else may be lower

:24:22. > :24:24.than that, but tomorrow will be a completely different start of the

:24:25. > :24:27.day compared with what we have seen today. This is what we saw at cosmic

:24:28. > :24:30.where we had some cloud. Flora and fauna appreciating the weather, and

:24:31. > :24:38.a lot of the blackberries a lot of the blackberries

:24:39. > :24:43.appreciating it. A few spits of light rain around, but Culdrose was

:24:44. > :24:47.lucky to stay dry. Tomorrow, these pictures may well seem a little bit

:24:48. > :24:53.different. Those are the morning temperatures. Through the day, we

:24:54. > :24:57.have one strand of showers that drifts along the Bristol Channel

:24:58. > :25:02.coast. Coming up from the south`west, a line of much more

:25:03. > :25:08.persistent rain. That is what will give us a bit of wet weather.

:25:09. > :25:15.Little, if any, rain to come in to Dorset, but we do stay largely dry.

:25:16. > :25:20.Note the wind is beginning to change direction. It ill become quite

:25:21. > :25:27.breezy. The temperatures will be breezy. The temperatures will be

:25:28. > :25:32.quite a bit down for most of us. For most of us, 17 or 18 will be the

:25:33. > :25:37.maximum. Wet the sunshine holds on for the longest, 20 degrees. Here is

:25:38. > :25:41.the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. We will find that it is

:25:42. > :25:50.rather cloudy for much of the day. Not much sunshine, and the rain

:25:51. > :25:56.becoming heavier. These are the times of high water.
