:00:00. > :00:00.But the turmoil at the senior level is, according to

:00:00. > :00:09.one local MP, becoming a crhsis and hurting the organisation.

:00:10. > :00:12.We can reveal today that the university has appointed

:00:13. > :00:15.barrister Simon Cheetham to investigate allegations

:00:16. > :00:18.of sexual harassment against William Taylor, the retired judge

:00:19. > :00:26.But it's not the only investigation underway at the university.

:00:27. > :00:29.In June, the Vice Chancellor Wendy Purcell was effectively suspended

:00:30. > :00:32.by the governors while an inquiry is carried out

:00:33. > :00:41.The university hasn't revealed their nature.

:00:42. > :00:44.While that inquiry was underway Professor Purcell alleged that Judge

:00:45. > :00:47.Taylor had sexually harassed female members of staff at the university.

:00:48. > :00:49.Those are the claims which will now be investigated.

:00:50. > :00:59."I categorically deny these allegations

:01:00. > :01:06.I have personally insisted that together with the universitx,

:01:07. > :01:11.these are robustly investig`ted by an independent expert.

:01:12. > :01:13.It would clearly be inappropriate to comment further while that

:01:14. > :01:25.investigation is in train, dxcept to say that these are deeply htrtful."

:01:26. > :01:27.Whatever the outcome of the two investigations,

:01:28. > :01:29.there is concern outside and inside the university that the

:01:30. > :01:43.Any investigation like this must be damaging. We need to minimise the

:01:44. > :01:46.damage. We want the univershty to be successful, it is a great

:01:47. > :01:49.institution, we want this to be wrapped up as quickly as possible.

:01:50. > :01:51.The university's watchdog, the Higher Education Funding Cotncil,

:01:52. > :01:53.has already looked into the suspension of Professor Purcell and

:01:54. > :01:56.They've said there isn't enough evidence

:01:57. > :01:59.for them to launch an investigation, but they have called for a review

:02:00. > :02:08.Well, our Business Correspondent Neil Gallacher is with us now.

:02:09. > :02:15.What are the claims and two is making them? We know that Wdndy

:02:16. > :02:19.Purcell is making the compl`ints, she is the suspended Chief

:02:20. > :02:22.Executive, and they concern a number of alleged incidents of

:02:23. > :02:26.inappropriate behaviour by Judge Taylor towards female members of

:02:27. > :02:30.staff at the University. Judge Taylor, as chair of governors, is

:02:31. > :02:34.the head of the body that oversees the university and guided

:02:35. > :02:38.strategically, and categorically denies these allegations. In the

:02:39. > :02:54.background is the suspension of the Vice Chancellor, Wendy Purcdll,

:02:55. > :02:56.isn't it? Yes, it is a bittdr dispute at the top of the

:02:57. > :02:59.University. Wendy Purcell w`s suspended for reasons that have

:03:00. > :03:01.never been made clear and l`st week and other senior university figure,

:03:02. > :03:04.Barbara Bond, she issued a statement she said that she had long`standing

:03:05. > :03:06.concerns, as she put it, about the way that university was govdrned and

:03:07. > :03:09.criticised Judge Taylor for what she called his manner when dealhng with

:03:10. > :03:17.female members of staff and students. What could next? One MP is

:03:18. > :03:21.adding voices to his concerns because of the damage it is doing to

:03:22. > :03:24.an important institution and in the last 40 minutes, there has been a

:03:25. > :03:29.statement from Judge Taylor Brady says he is prepared to stand aside

:03:30. > :03:33.the time being. He said, I have already stepped away from the

:03:34. > :03:36.investigation into the condtct of Wendy Purcell, he said he would be

:03:37. > :03:42.prepared to do the same agahn and transfer of duties and

:03:43. > :03:45.responsibilities to the deptty, Steve Pearce, pending the ottcome of

:03:46. > :03:48.this independent investigathon, were that thought to be helpful. He said

:03:49. > :03:52.he will speak to the board to moral and seek their views.

:03:53. > :03:55.Businesses in Weymouth have been counting the cost today, after it

:03:56. > :03:58.was confirmed that the resort is to lose its Condor Ferries service

:03:59. > :04:00.The company, which generates millions of pounds for the Dorset

:04:01. > :04:03.economy and supports hundreds of jobs, is moving its oper`tions

:04:04. > :04:14.to Poole from next spring. Paul Clifton reports from Wdymouth.

:04:15. > :04:19.Setting sail at lunch time, the ferry macro to Guernsey slipping

:04:20. > :04:26.away from Weymouth. Soon, the whole company will do the same. Condor

:04:27. > :04:30.Ferries is replacing two ferries with a new larger one. It whll not

:04:31. > :04:36.fit on this birth. Forever tell years and shops, that will lean a

:04:37. > :04:39.significant loss of business, up to ?10 million per year. Passengers

:04:40. > :04:45.stay the night before sailing or stop for a meal. We are going to

:04:46. > :04:48.miss it. But we need to movd on and say Weymouth with your long before

:04:49. > :04:52.Condor Ferries and it will be here long after, so I think we whll come

:04:53. > :04:57.back after they find out how much it costs to run from pool. Two years

:04:58. > :05:13.ago, the harbour wall startdd slipping into the sea. The council

:05:14. > :05:15.and this board spent ?4 million rebuilding a sport which will now

:05:16. > :05:18.stand empty. The cancers as they will not spend another ?10 lillion

:05:19. > :05:20.building a larger one. They try to gloss over the economic dam`ge that

:05:21. > :05:23.will inevitably follow the departure of the ferry. We have had the ferry

:05:24. > :05:26.service operating from Weymouth substantial amount of time `nd it

:05:27. > :05:30.plays an important role in the local economy, but equally, as, wd have

:05:31. > :05:34.been mindful of seeing thesd things within the strategic agenda going

:05:35. > :05:41.forward. We have that five xears to scratch our heads and think, do we

:05:42. > :05:44.want the ferry here and if so how do do we raise the money? That will

:05:45. > :05:47.give people time to think about it. It became a beauty contest between

:05:48. > :05:56.the town of blue and the tenor Weymouth, one has the shortdr sea

:05:57. > :06:00.crossing, the other offers the right facilities. Weymouth's lasts is the

:06:01. > :06:04.game of pool. We have a contract to make sure that Condor Ferrids will

:06:05. > :06:09.be here for a number of years so it gives certainty to the port and it

:06:10. > :06:14.helps with employment. Condor Ferries has left a faint glhmmer of

:06:15. > :06:18.hope for Weymouth in the long`term future. We're signing a medhum`term

:06:19. > :06:35.agreement, so that provide certainty for the Channel Islands and

:06:36. > :06:44.certainty for us and certainty for to accommodate us. It is festival

:06:45. > :06:51.time. The red arrows fly ovdr. Condor Ferries have chosen this with

:06:52. > :06:57.care, this announcement. Shortly, it could be gone.

:06:58. > :07:18.We will be in Weymouth for the festival, live, later on.

:07:19. > :07:20.A 50`year`old man from Germany has been released

:07:21. > :07:22.on police bail in connection with the discovery of suspected hllegal

:07:23. > :07:26.15 people were discovered in the back of a truck

:07:27. > :07:29.The foreign nationals, who told police they were

:07:30. > :07:31.from Eritrea and Kashmir, included men, women and a 15`year`old boy.

:07:32. > :07:38.It's madness that too many people in Devon are being kept

:07:39. > :07:40.in hospital when they don't need to be, according to one

:07:41. > :07:44.The latest government figurds show that in June, Devon was

:07:45. > :07:46.the third worst place in thd country for so`called bed`blocking.

:07:47. > :07:49.Nearly 140 people were readx to be discharged from hospitals

:07:50. > :07:51.in the Devon County Council area, but couldn't be because thex were

:07:52. > :07:54.That's only just behind Birlingham and Northamptonshire,

:07:55. > :07:56.which were the worst. Jenny Kumah reports.

:07:57. > :07:58.Earlier this year, bed blocking was a big problem in Cornwall.

:07:59. > :08:01.This meant that people like Florence Uren had their operations c`ncelled,

:08:02. > :08:06.I had been looking forward to going in to get rid of the pain

:08:07. > :08:10.But what upset me was that H had the bed and then it was takdn away.

:08:11. > :08:13.Florence had her operation ` few weeks later and the bed blocking

:08:14. > :08:16.But now, Devon is one of the worst places

:08:17. > :08:20.The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital admits they have had high ntmbers

:08:21. > :08:22.of patients on wards unnecessarily but they say

:08:23. > :08:26.The hospital Chief Executivd has said more needs to be done to

:08:27. > :08:27.improve the way that health organis`tions

:08:28. > :08:30.and social services work together to provide onward care for pathents.

:08:31. > :08:33.This could be in a nursing home or any colmunity

:08:34. > :08:39.But she says she recognises this can be challenging because of the high

:08:40. > :08:46.number of elderly patients, some of whom live in remote, rural `reas.

:08:47. > :08:48.A recent survey highlights community care worker shortages,

:08:49. > :08:52.lack of access to physiotherapy and problems with patient transport

:08:53. > :08:58.as key issues behind delayed hospital discharges in Devon.

:08:59. > :09:01.The local clinical commissioning group and county council sax they're

:09:02. > :09:05.working with hospital trusts and the independent care sector providers to

:09:06. > :09:08.make sure services are available when and where they're needdd.

:09:09. > :09:12.But some think government cuts are to blame.

:09:13. > :09:16.They need to ensure that social care, community hospitals stpporting

:09:17. > :09:19.people in their own homes, have the support that they need to

:09:20. > :09:22.enable hospitals like the Royal Devon and Exeter to ldt people

:09:23. > :09:28.The government says it's spdnding more money tackling this problem,

:09:29. > :09:31.including giving social services across the country an addithonal

:09:32. > :09:41.Two men have been airlifted to hospital

:09:42. > :09:44.after a steel structure collapsed at Falmouth Docks in Cornwall.

:09:45. > :09:47.Emergency services were called to the scene just

:09:48. > :09:52.A Falmouth said the men suffered "serious injuries"

:09:53. > :09:55.and the thoughts of everyond at the company were with thdm.

:09:56. > :10:04.The Health and Safety Executive has been informed.

:10:05. > :10:07.An review into mental health services for young people in England

:10:08. > :10:09.has been welcomed by a family from Cornwall whose son died

:10:10. > :10:13.The Health mMinister Norman Lamb has described services as

:10:14. > :10:18.He's set up a "task force" to find out how they can be improved.

:10:19. > :10:21.In a moment, we'll be hearing from a member of that task force, but first

:10:22. > :10:25.18`year`old Ben Cowburn frol Truro took his own life at the

:10:26. > :10:30.Longreach House Adult Mental Health Unit in Cornwall in 2010.

:10:31. > :10:34.His parents set up the Invictus Trust to campaign for

:10:35. > :10:40.a specialist unit for young people with acute mental health issues

:10:41. > :10:44.Plans for the unit are advanced but are waiting on NHS fundhng

:10:45. > :10:49.The family welcome the ministerial interest.

:10:50. > :10:52.Norman Lamb outlines a numbdr of points that we have discovered

:10:53. > :10:56.through talking to young people and their families.

:10:57. > :10:59.Priorities that we see as rdally, really important,

:11:00. > :11:03.so it is completely in line with the Invictus C`mpaign.

:11:04. > :11:08.I am slightly concerned that a task force means a strategy,

:11:09. > :11:12.aims, objective, etc, so th`t all adds delay to a process and I am

:11:13. > :11:16.concerned that there may be some delays in things happening, but we

:11:17. > :11:19.are very pleased that mental health is being raised up to

:11:20. > :11:22.a more appropriate level of consciousness, really.

:11:23. > :11:26.The Health Minister says thd initiative has been influenced by

:11:27. > :11:30.meeting the families of young people including Steve and Sharon Cowburn.

:11:31. > :11:34.Here he's visiting a young persons mental health unit in Essex.

:11:35. > :11:40.I want to crucially involve young people in this whole process to look

:11:41. > :11:43.at how we can modernise children's mental health services, makd the

:11:44. > :11:49.best use of the resources available, pooling all of the resources.

:11:50. > :11:52.It's a commission organised by four different organisathons

:11:53. > :11:56.We need to make that much more rational.

:11:57. > :12:00.Two of the patients at the Colchester unit are from Cornwall.

:12:01. > :12:03.Because there are between tdn and 15 young people being c`red

:12:04. > :12:11.for outside of Cornwall at `ny one time, Cornwall has to pay for that.

:12:12. > :12:14.The Cowburns say that costs ?2 million a year.

:12:15. > :12:17.The new unit would cost no lore and young people would be treated

:12:18. > :12:20.The Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

:12:21. > :12:23.which runs mental health services in Cornwall says it welcomes the task

:12:24. > :12:26.force and that its clinical director will be providing some input.

:12:27. > :12:29.Meanwhile, it says the 30 beds here at Longreach House

:12:30. > :12:38.should reopen after building work by the end of the year.

:12:39. > :12:40.Well one member of the task force is Johnny

:12:41. > :12:43.Benjamin, he says he receivdd poor mental health care as a teenager

:12:44. > :12:48.I asked him what one thing needs changing to

:12:49. > :12:58.I mean, we know, in some ardas, funding has been cut by 94%

:12:59. > :13:03.There is no parity of esteel between physical health tre`tment

:13:04. > :13:08.Cuts keep coming to the mental health system and much

:13:09. > :13:16.Money is one thing, but it `lso depends on how that money is spent.

:13:17. > :13:19.What kinds of services on the ground are needed

:13:20. > :13:23.so that young people in particular get the help and support thdy need?

:13:24. > :13:26.We need to look at services on the ground and things

:13:27. > :13:30.like more beds and stopping young people being placed in adult wards.

:13:31. > :13:34.Also, stopping young people having to travel miles for treatment.

:13:35. > :13:37.Sometimes they have to travdl right across the country, which is really

:13:38. > :13:41.They need to be around their family and fridnds

:13:42. > :13:43.There is also a problem with waiting times.

:13:44. > :13:45.People are waiting for years for access to therapy

:13:46. > :14:01.The Minister says that the system isn't currently fit for purpose do

:14:02. > :14:07.you detect that something could come out of this task force? I do hope

:14:08. > :14:10.that something comes from this task force because something desperately

:14:11. > :14:14.needs to change. I just hear stories of young people that down bx the

:14:15. > :14:18.service. It is very rare to hear a good example of mental health care

:14:19. > :14:25.for young people, and the wrist the problem of when people turn 18, they

:14:26. > :14:28.get transferred to the adult service, and so many people fall

:14:29. > :14:29.through the gap in that service Too many people are failed by the

:14:30. > :14:36.system. Thank you. The end of an era

:14:37. > :14:40.for a famous livestock markdt. It's carnival time in Weymotth,

:14:41. > :14:56.thousands are there, includhng Join us for the legendary c`rnival

:14:57. > :14:59.here in Weymouth, we are here with hundreds of thousands of other

:15:00. > :15:02.people and the world`famous red arrows.

:15:03. > :15:05.The North Devon town of Holsworthy is famous for its cattle market

:15:06. > :15:08.but today the hammer went down on the final sale in the site's

:15:09. > :15:11.last ever auction, ending a hundred years of bidding and bargaining

:15:12. > :15:14.A brand new market will soon open just outside the town,

:15:15. > :15:17.but it's still been a poign`nt day for farmers who?ve been selling

:15:18. > :15:23.Kirk England has been to medt those seeing the end of an dra.

:15:24. > :15:34.Very sad, really, because after about 107 years, it's going.

:15:35. > :15:38.This is the last time we are coming to this market.

:15:39. > :15:41.People came from far and wide for the last ever auction

:15:42. > :15:46.Surreal, I think, that is how it feels.

:15:47. > :15:49.You're standing back and looking at what is going on.

:15:50. > :15:52.There are a lot of people hdre, farmers coming in with stock,

:15:53. > :15:56.they want to be part of history and have animals here at thd last

:15:57. > :16:03.Livestock was eventually sold on the town square, before being moved to

:16:04. > :16:09.It has been sold now to pay for this, a ?6 million markdt

:16:10. > :16:17.An investment that many argte was vital for the local economy

:16:18. > :16:20.There was probably one third of all people involved in some shape

:16:21. > :16:25.If we took that out of the dquation, that would be an enormous g`p

:16:26. > :16:29.in what is happening in terls of productivity in the area

:16:30. > :16:34.in what is happening socially in the area as well as economically.

:16:35. > :16:38.The old market site has been bought by a housing developer and Tesco

:16:39. > :16:47.We have to compete against a supermarket.

:16:48. > :16:52.We are individual traders whth their individual niche at what we

:16:53. > :17:00.No`one from Tesco was avail`ble for comment, but the local business

:17:01. > :17:07.groups say that the planned store could attract more people into town.

:17:08. > :17:09.This is the last piece to be sold through

:17:10. > :17:15.Back at the market, the last hammer falls, and people

:17:16. > :17:28.are hoping the next 100 years will be as good as the last 100.

:17:29. > :17:31.It's been the end of an era too for the Royal Navy frigate HMS Plymouth.

:17:32. > :17:34.She's set sail to be scrappdd in a foreign port.

:17:35. > :17:37.She was one of the last surviving warships from the Falklands War

:17:38. > :17:49.It's believed she's heading for a port in Turkey.

:17:50. > :17:57.One of the main thing is th`t she is the surrender of South Georgia. She

:17:58. > :18:01.was involved in major action in the Falklands War and was severdly

:18:02. > :18:03.damaged during the action and claimed a number of hits on

:18:04. > :18:06.Argentinian aircraft also. Onto some sports news and

:18:07. > :18:08.in last night's football, Yeovil Town at last got off the mark

:18:09. > :18:12.in League One with a good away win. Plymouth Argyle staved

:18:13. > :18:14.off defeat with a late penalty, while Exeter City still wait for

:18:15. > :18:17.their first win of the new season. Yeovil Town relied on two mdmbers

:18:18. > :18:20.of their promotion`winning team at Wembley last year to delhver

:18:21. > :18:23.the goods at Walsall. James Hayter was

:18:24. > :18:26.in the right place at the rhght time to finish off an accurate cross from

:18:27. > :18:29.Kevin Dawson to put them on the path The Midlanders wiped that ott to

:18:30. > :18:35.set up what could have been a few But Gary Johnson's boys movdd

:18:36. > :18:41.forward with purpose and Dawson swooped to score the winner

:18:42. > :18:47.in an encouraging 2`1 result. At Home Park,

:18:48. > :18:49.Plymouth Argyle were on the verge of going down to Stevenage who took

:18:50. > :18:54.an early second half lead. They held that

:18:55. > :18:57.until the eighth minute of `dded time, when a handball offence led to

:18:58. > :19:00.a penalty which Dean Smallex duly despatched to earn a 1`1 dr`w

:19:01. > :19:06.in front of a relieved 6,000 crowd. Exeter City are left

:19:07. > :19:08.frustrated once again. Still without a victory

:19:09. > :19:11.in league and cup, they went down to a lone goal at Burton Albion

:19:12. > :19:16.who've won three on the trot. Former Weymouth striker

:19:17. > :19:18.Stuart Beavon did the damagd just before the interval to leavd City

:19:19. > :19:21.with only one point from Plymouth diver Tom Daley has

:19:22. > :19:30.finished a disappointing fotrth in the men's 10 metre synchronised

:19:31. > :19:33.event at the European Diving The 20`year`old, along with

:19:34. > :19:38.his new diving partner James Denney, was in the silver medal poshtion

:19:39. > :19:42.going into the final round. But they failed to maintain their

:19:43. > :20:01.form and missed out on a medal. It is one of the big events in the

:20:02. > :20:07.Dorset calendar and bumper crowds have turned out for the Weylouth

:20:08. > :20:14.Carnival. We can cross to the town very much in a party mood.

:20:15. > :20:19.Good evening, Weymouth has been teeming with visitors and it still

:20:20. > :20:24.is this evening, soaking up the beautiful sunshine and the carnival

:20:25. > :20:29.atmosphere. The grand procession got underway about half an hour ago and

:20:30. > :20:32.you can see everybody behind me Luckily the military band isn't

:20:33. > :20:38.quite here yet. Probably thd favourite with the crowd was the red
