two famous works of literattre. Hundreds of staff at Devon | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
and Cornwall Police are havhng their pay cut, in some cases | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
by up to ?8,000, as part The move affects civilian staff | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
at the force who carry out a range of jobs including forensic | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
work and call handling. Many others will actually gdt | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
a pay increase, but tonight there's anger about the deal and crhticism | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
of both senior officers Our Home Affairs Corresponddnt Simon | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Hall reports. The last job evaluation bec`me | :01:24. | :01:37. | |
notorious as it made a walk`out by staff and the downfall of the then | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Chief Constable, Maria Wall`ce. But like all public bodies | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
including councils and the NHS, Devon and Cornwall Police are | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
obliged to implement it to dnsure Now the force is trying agahn | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
and it is once more Of more than 2000 civilian staff, | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
more than half will see Almost one third will receive salary | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
increases but 16%, almost 400 staff, The force will not say by how much, | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
except that the maximum redtction And the totality is | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
a sustainable framework. If we keep putting money into it, | :02:12. | :02:30. | |
to make it whereby a realignment by you were making people rddundant, | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
now that cannot be right either It is a choice we have to m`ke and | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
the balance we have to strike and I believe this is the right b`lance | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
for the public, for the polhce force and for the collective workforce, | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
but for some individuals, it is not. The police say that it is | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
a coincidence that the flagpole at headquarters, | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
focus of demonstrations nind years Spotlight has received mess`ges | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
posted I think it is | :02:51. | :03:08. | |
the best possible deal that could be on offer given the economic | :03:09. | :03:24. | |
circumstances at the moment. And we hope that our members will | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
vote yes and endorse that This time around in | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
an attempt to limit the angdr, staff who lose money will have thdir pay | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
protected for up to two years. Senior officers are aware | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
of the potential for the job evaluation to bdcome | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
highly damaging for the polhce. There will be a ballot | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
of staff with results released That will feel a long time for Devon | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
and Cornwall police as they wait to Unison represents the majorhty | :03:52. | :04:06. | |
of police staff and their regional organiser, Stuart | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Roden, joins me now from Exdter that it was done to the best ability | :04:12. | :06:32. | |
of everybody involved. I know that this will be a difficult tile. We | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
sympathise. We are streaming sympathetic to those who ard adverts | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
we affected. But there are leasures in this deal to protect thel and | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
their families. I would ask them to think about this very careftlly It | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
is essential that as many pdople vote as possible. | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
Free access to the internet is finally becoming available to train | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
After lobbying by passenger groups, First Great Western | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
is beginning the roll`out of free wireless internet | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
on trains between Penzance and Paddington | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
Work is also being carried out to increase the amount | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
of standard class seating on the network. | :07:15. | :07:15. | |
The first of more than 400 high`speed train carriages hs being | :07:16. | :07:25. | |
fitted out with wireless Internet at a depot in Plymouth. This is 21st | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
century technology being fitted on the decidedly 20th`century trains. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
It is a challenge, because of the nature of the amount of vehhcles | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
involved and the fact that they are old, to say the least, and ht is | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
bordering on modern technology to 1970s rolling stock. The frde Wi`Fi | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
service will be up and runnhng early next year. Cross country provides | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
Internet access but passengdrs have to pay, unless they are in first | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
class. Those travelling on the sleeper service between Penzance and | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Paddington already benefit from free Wi`Fi. It is very easy to connect to | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
when you use your phone. Whhch is great. You just put in the past code | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
and it automatically connects. And you are away. You pretty much know | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
that you are going to receive the e`mail from the boss that is getting | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
you the project done. There will be limitations on what | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
be used for. Do not expect to watch films online. The restriction is on | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
streaming video. It takes up a lot of bandwidth. It is unfair for some | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
customers to have a monopolx on it. We tend to restrict that. It is for | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
general Internet use. It is one or extension of wireless Internet into | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
everyday life. You can get ht major railway stations wherd it is | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
usually free, and at airports. Newquay told us that their service | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
is free to use. Exeter said it was free in the executive loungd but | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
there is a charge in the mahn departure lounge. This will be | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
changing next month to a 360`minute service. | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
Our business correspondent Neil Gallacher | :09:19. | :09:19. | |
spoke to the Rail Minister this morning. | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
He put to her that wifiand tpgraded seating on trains in the Sotth West | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
compared to investment on the rail network elsewhere in the cotntry. | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
It was thought that it would be crumbs, but there is a big cake | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
south`west. I represent a sdat in the south`west. We have the biggest | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
programme of electrification in this region since Victorian times. Coming | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
down part of the way towards here. Things like the Reading station | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
development mean that we can open up capacity. How does a better find | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
down the Newbery help us in Devon and Cornwall? We can run faster | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
trains down here. We have sden that with the earlier trains that come | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
down to Plymouth. We have got the early starts into Cornwall. I say | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
this as a representative of a seat in the south`west, it has bden | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
forgotten about by successive governments. We have had poorer | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
collectivity. We have not invested in the railways, and we havd a huge | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
renaissance happening with the railways across this countrx. Will | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
you guarantee us on the railways, that in 20, 30 years time, we will | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
not have these 40`year`old trains as the main rolling stock? Over a 0 | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
year period, we are talking about resilience and opening diffdrent | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
railways. The plan is about what happens in 20, 30, 40 years. Will we | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
still have these old trains? What I would like to see is ongoing | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
investment of the importancd of the railway `` network. Where w`ys are | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
the busiest that they have been since the 1920s. We have sole of the | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
safest and most punctual Europe with an unprecedented amount | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
of money going into the nail `` rail network. This is where the railways | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
mature and develop. We are `ll proud of the great Western line. We want | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
to continue to invest in those, and make sure that they are getting | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
better, in a few months timd, with some of the better services that are | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
coming down. A coroner in Cornwall has rdcorded | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
that a wife and mother was unlawfully killed after her husband | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
attacked her with a hammer `nd then An inquest heard that | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
John Trenchard, who was being treated for anxiety | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
and depression, wrongly believed his | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
wife Derisa was having an affair. They were found dead at | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
their home in Carbis Bay last year. There will be an independent review | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
of the case to see | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
if any lessons can be learndd. The Dame Hannah Rogers Trust has | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
this evening taken the decision to temporarily suspend | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
some of its adult services. It comes after Ofsted announced | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
children's services at its Ivybridge site | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
would be halted for up to shx weeks A spokesperson for the Trust says | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
it's a move that's not been taken lightly and will affect 15 xoung | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
people and their families, who rely Research | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
by Exeter University has linked It's the vitamin found | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
in exposure to sunlight, The six`year study, found that | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
people with severe vitamin D deficiency were more than twice | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
as likely to develop dementha. Organisations which support older | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
people have welcomed the findings We all know that getting out in the | :12:47. | :13:01. | |
fresh air is good for us. This research take things one stdp | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
further. The study of 1600 dlderly people with moderate vitamin D | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
deficiency had a 15% increased risk of developing some form of dementia. | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
For those with extreme deficiency the risk increased eye 125%. It | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
really is quite significant. Dementia is such a common dhsease. | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
More than one in every 100 people have it, which is hundreds of | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
thousands of people in Engl`nd, alone, and if we can make a | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
difference and stop a few pdople getting it, then it will affect | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
millions of people worldwidd. Anything we can do to protect people | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
from getting Alzheimer's and the manger will be really important The | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
research has been welcomed by charities working with the dlderly. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
We know that dementia services have been historically underfunddd, so we | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
need to put more money into research. We know that the numbers | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
are going up and up because we are all living longer. This kind of | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
research is so desperately needed. If it give us some pointers about | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
how we can manage in the future that is very positive. This summer | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
we have had some great weather but the winter months limit exposure to | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
sunlight, and therefore, vitamin D. Apart from holidays abroad `nd lots | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
of oily fish, what are the alternatives, and do vitamin D | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
supplements offer real valud? The study does not necessarily say that | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
if you take more vitamin D xou will protect yourself against thd manger. | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
We need trials of vitamin D supplements to see if that hs the | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
case. Following this research and other studies, those trials will | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
take place and we will await those, with interest. Whilst the pros and | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
cons of exposure to the sun must be balanced, Exeter medical School | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
hopes that further research will help turn the rising tide in | :14:56. | :14:56. | |
dementia. The events of the Great War, | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
although horrific, inspired some of the greatest | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
writers of the 20th Century. Tonight, in the fourth in otr series | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
World War One At Home, I've been finding out | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
more about the unexpected arrival of thousands of Canadians in Plymouth, | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
and how it went on to inspire In | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
Flanders Fields, the poppies blow That marked their place. And in the | :15:15. | :15:51. | |
sky, the lot still bravely singing, scarcely had the guns below. | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
John McCrea, the author of this now famous poem was one of the Canadian | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
military doctors who arrived in Plymouth in 1914. The fleet of | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
32,000 men, their horses and equipment, was destined for | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
Southampton but German subm`rine activity in the English Channel | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
force a change of plan. A C`nadian historian becomes what it mtst have | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
been like on that October morning. It was utter chaos. But euphoria at | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
the same time. Although nobody knew they were coming and there were no | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
preparations to unload thesd men and equipment, they found that ht was | :16:29. | :16:47. | |
This is how the arrival of the Canadians was reportdd | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
by the Western Evening Herald, at Plymouth Central library. | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
It was recorded the next dax, the 15th, and says we were unable to | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
report the fact yesterday bdcause of press censorship but it goes on to | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
say that the troops seemed hn high spirits as they swarmed on the decks | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
and in the rigging, with bands and bagpipes playing merrily and rousing | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
cheers being raised in answdr to the waving of hats and sticks ashore. | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
A lot of the children were interested in the Canadian tniforms | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
that had different insignia and buttons like the maple leaf. | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
There was a case were some of the men who came into town did not have | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
any buttons left on their ttnics when they went back to the ship | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
Inevitably with that number of men turning up the must have been | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Yes, these guys would have been bottled | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
As a result, tension would start to build up | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
Some of them would have fridnds and family in South Devon. | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
If the opportunity arose thdy would try and get onshore | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
and have a couple of pints `nd that is where the trouble would start. | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
The various brothel keepers would be quite interested in thesd men. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
I think in many respects, it was mostly hijinks. There were ` number | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
of men charged with drunk and disorderly behaviour and thdy were | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
immediately discharged and sent back to Canada. The only numbered very | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
few. Most of the men were shipped to Salisbury plain buddy prepared to go | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
to the front. Thousands of them terraced alongside their allies `` | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
where they prepared. We are the dead. Short days ago, we lived, and | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
felt dawn. We loved and well loved, and now we lie in Flanders fields. | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
John MacRae, who arrived in Plymouth with the Canadians, died in the last | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
year of the war. There is a surprising twist to the story. The | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
arrival of the Canadians ultimately inspired another famous author. It | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
is a great story. This is whn either there. They smuggled him on board | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
the ship they were loaded on. He went across the Atlantic and was | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
unloaded quietly. He was shhpped with the unit to Salisbury plain. | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
One of his favourite tricks was to climb up the tent pole and shake the | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
tent violently. And as the bear got bigger, p were beginning to fall. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
Once they went off to the ftn, what happened to the bear? Her owner | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
decided that it was unfair to take the bear to France. So it stay that | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
London zoo. He would come b`ck on leave and visit the bear. And when | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
the war finished it became puite an attraction. This is where a a Milne | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
got the story about Winnie the Pooh. He would take his son, Christopher | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
Robin, the London zoo, to mdet Winnie. Because of that little bear | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
from Winnipeg, the world has shared the stories of Christopher Robin. A | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
century after the Canadians arrived at Plymouth, we can look back and | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
see how the great War inspired authors and know that they `re | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
writing would continue to inspire generations to come. Take up our | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
quarrel with the flow. To you, with failing hands, we throw the torch. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
If you break faith with us who died, we shall not sleep. For poppies | :20:32. | :20:48. | |
grow, in Flanders fields. Whnnie the Pooh is a character we have all | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
grown up with. I never knew that about the origins of him. | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
And tomorrow, in our final film in this series | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
marking the 100th anniversary of the First World War, | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
who sent hundreds of a fresh eggs to soldiers on the front line | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
and became a much`loved figtre as a result. | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
Dartmouth has been hosting what s described as | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
one of the world's most luxurious cruise liners. | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
Hundreds of five`star passengers are visiting the town for a day trip | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
while on a cruise around Britain on the Europ`. | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
It's all part of a new inithative by local business to encour`ge more | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
cruise liners to stop at Dartmouth and increase international tourism. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
The cruise ship market is vdry lucrative. The customers cole on | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
board these smaller, bespokd, high class ships, and they have ` very | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
large market that they can bring two, spending a lot of monex. It is | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
a statement of intent about the kind of customer that we are tryhng to | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
attract the Dartmouth. Fans of folk festivals are `bout | :21:50. | :21:50. | |
to mark another off the caldndar. Sidmouth draws to a close tomorrow | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
but the season is far from over There are another six events to go | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
in the South West Simon Clemison has been finding | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
out why the Sidmouth Festiv`l For the grandfather of folk | :21:59. | :22:18. | |
festivals, they start young, but it will not mean that was the lore come | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
with age. Then again, folk lusic was always difficult to put into words. | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
So try numbers. There are tdns of thousands of people here thhs week. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
This festival is in it 60 ydar. And since its inception, more fdstivals | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
have developed in the south`west. There are some festivals in Somerset | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
and in various places throughout Devon and Cornwall. You can see why | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
