But the turmoil at the senior level is, according to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
one local MP, becoming a crhsis and hurting the organisation. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
We can reveal today that the university has appointed | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
barrister Simon Cheetham to investigate allegations | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
of sexual harassment against William Taylor, the retired judge | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
But it's not the only investigation underway at the university. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
In June, the Vice Chancellor Wendy Purcell was effectively suspended | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
by the governors while an inquiry is carried out | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
The university hasn't revealed their nature. | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
While that inquiry was underway Professor Purcell alleged that Judge | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Taylor had sexually harassed female members of staff at the university. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Those are the claims which will now be investigated. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
"I categorically deny these allegations | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
I have personally insisted that together with the universitx, | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
these are robustly investig`ted by an independent expert. | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
It would clearly be inappropriate to comment further while that | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
investigation is in train, dxcept to say that these are deeply htrtful." | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
Whatever the outcome of the two investigations, | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
there is concern outside and inside the university that the | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Any investigation like this must be damaging. We need to minimise the | :01:30. | :01:43. | |
damage. We want the univershty to be successful, it is a great | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
institution, we want this to be wrapped up as quickly as possible. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
The university's watchdog, the Higher Education Funding Cotncil, | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
has already looked into the suspension of Professor Purcell and | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
They've said there isn't enough evidence | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
for them to launch an investigation, but they have called for a review | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Well, our Business Correspondent Neil Gallacher is with us now. | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
What are the claims and two is making them? We know that Wdndy | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
Purcell is making the compl`ints, she is the suspended Chief | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Executive, and they concern a number of alleged incidents of | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
inappropriate behaviour by Judge Taylor towards female members of | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
staff at the University. Judge Taylor, as chair of governors, is | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
the head of the body that oversees the university and guided | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
strategically, and categorically denies these allegations. In the | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
background is the suspension of the Vice Chancellor, Wendy Purcdll, | :02:39. | :02:54. | |
isn't it? Yes, it is a bittdr dispute at the top of the | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
University. Wendy Purcell w`s suspended for reasons that have | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
never been made clear and l`st week and other senior university figure, | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Barbara Bond, she issued a statement she said that she had long`standing | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
concerns, as she put it, about the way that university was govdrned and | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
criticised Judge Taylor for what she called his manner when dealhng with | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
female members of staff and students. What could next? One MP is | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
adding voices to his concerns because of the damage it is doing to | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
an important institution and in the last 40 minutes, there has been a | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
statement from Judge Taylor Brady says he is prepared to stand aside | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
the time being. He said, I have already stepped away from the | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
investigation into the condtct of Wendy Purcell, he said he would be | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
prepared to do the same agahn and transfer of duties and | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
responsibilities to the deptty, Steve Pearce, pending the ottcome of | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
this independent investigathon, were that thought to be helpful. He said | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
he will speak to the board to moral and seek their views. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Businesses in Weymouth have been counting the cost today, after it | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
was confirmed that the resort is to lose its Condor Ferries service | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
The company, which generates millions of pounds for the Dorset | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
economy and supports hundreds of jobs, is moving its oper`tions | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
to Poole from next spring. Paul Clifton reports from Wdymouth. | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
Setting sail at lunch time, the ferry macro to Guernsey slipping | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
away from Weymouth. Soon, the whole company will do the same. Condor | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
Ferries is replacing two ferries with a new larger one. It whll not | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
fit on this birth. Forever tell years and shops, that will lean a | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
significant loss of business, up to ?10 million per year. Passengers | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
stay the night before sailing or stop for a meal. We are going to | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
miss it. But we need to movd on and say Weymouth with your long before | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
Condor Ferries and it will be here long after, so I think we whll come | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
back after they find out how much it costs to run from pool. Two years | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
ago, the harbour wall startdd slipping into the sea. The council | :04:58. | :05:13. | |
and this board spent ?4 million rebuilding a sport which will now | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
stand empty. The cancers as they will not spend another ?10 lillion | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
building a larger one. They try to gloss over the economic dam`ge that | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
will inevitably follow the departure of the ferry. We have had the ferry | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
service operating from Weymouth substantial amount of time `nd it | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
plays an important role in the local economy, but equally, as, wd have | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
been mindful of seeing thesd things within the strategic agenda going | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
forward. We have that five xears to scratch our heads and think, do we | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
want the ferry here and if so how do do we raise the money? That will | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
give people time to think about it. It became a beauty contest between | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
the town of blue and the tenor Weymouth, one has the shortdr sea | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
crossing, the other offers the right facilities. Weymouth's lasts is the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
game of pool. We have a contract to make sure that Condor Ferrids will | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
be here for a number of years so it gives certainty to the port and it | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
helps with employment. Condor Ferries has left a faint glhmmer of | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
hope for Weymouth in the long`term future. We're signing a medhum`term | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
agreement, so that provide certainty for the Channel Islands and | :06:19. | :06:35. | |
certainty for us and certainty for to accommodate us. It is festival | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
time. The red arrows fly ovdr. Condor Ferries have chosen this with | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
care, this announcement. Shortly, it could be gone. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
We will be in Weymouth for the festival, live, later on. | :06:58. | :07:18. | |
A 50`year`old man from Germany has been released | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
on police bail in connection with the discovery of suspected hllegal | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
15 people were discovered in the back of a truck | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
The foreign nationals, who told police they were | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
from Eritrea and Kashmir, included men, women and a 15`year`old boy. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
It's madness that too many people in Devon are being kept | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
in hospital when they don't need to be, according to one | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
The latest government figurds show that in June, Devon was | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
the third worst place in thd country for so`called bed`blocking. | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
Nearly 140 people were readx to be discharged from hospitals | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
in the Devon County Council area, but couldn't be because thex were | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
That's only just behind Birlingham and Northamptonshire, | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
which were the worst. Jenny Kumah reports. | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
Earlier this year, bed blocking was a big problem in Cornwall. | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
This meant that people like Florence Uren had their operations c`ncelled, | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
I had been looking forward to going in to get rid of the pain | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
But what upset me was that H had the bed and then it was takdn away. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Florence had her operation ` few weeks later and the bed blocking | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
But now, Devon is one of the worst places | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital admits they have had high ntmbers | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
of patients on wards unnecessarily but they say | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
The hospital Chief Executivd has said more needs to be done to | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
improve the way that health organis`tions | :08:27. | :08:27. | |
and social services work together to provide onward care for pathents. | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
This could be in a nursing home or any colmunity | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
But she says she recognises this can be challenging because of the high | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
number of elderly patients, some of whom live in remote, rural `reas. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
A recent survey highlights community care worker shortages, | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
lack of access to physiotherapy and problems with patient transport | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
as key issues behind delayed hospital discharges in Devon. | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
The local clinical commissioning group and county council sax they're | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
working with hospital trusts and the independent care sector providers to | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
make sure services are available when and where they're needdd. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
But some think government cuts are to blame. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
They need to ensure that social care, community hospitals stpporting | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
people in their own homes, have the support that they need to | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
enable hospitals like the Royal Devon and Exeter to ldt people | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
The government says it's spdnding more money tackling this problem, | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
including giving social services across the country an addithonal | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Two men have been airlifted to hospital | :09:32. | :09:41. | |
after a steel structure collapsed at Falmouth Docks in Cornwall. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Emergency services were called to the scene just | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
A Falmouth said the men suffered "serious injuries" | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
and the thoughts of everyond at the company were with thdm. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
The Health and Safety Executive has been informed. | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
An review into mental health services for young people in England | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
has been welcomed by a family from Cornwall whose son died | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
The Health mMinister Norman Lamb has described services as | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
He's set up a "task force" to find out how they can be improved. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
In a moment, we'll be hearing from a member of that task force, but first | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
18`year`old Ben Cowburn frol Truro took his own life at the | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Longreach House Adult Mental Health Unit in Cornwall in 2010. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
His parents set up the Invictus Trust to campaign for | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
a specialist unit for young people with acute mental health issues | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
Plans for the unit are advanced but are waiting on NHS fundhng | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
The family welcome the ministerial interest. | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Norman Lamb outlines a numbdr of points that we have discovered | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
through talking to young people and their families. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Priorities that we see as rdally, really important, | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
so it is completely in line with the Invictus C`mpaign. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
I am slightly concerned that a task force means a strategy, | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
aims, objective, etc, so th`t all adds delay to a process and I am | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
concerned that there may be some delays in things happening, but we | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
are very pleased that mental health is being raised up to | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
a more appropriate level of consciousness, really. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
The Health Minister says thd initiative has been influenced by | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
meeting the families of young people including Steve and Sharon Cowburn. | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Here he's visiting a young persons mental health unit in Essex. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
I want to crucially involve young people in this whole process to look | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
at how we can modernise children's mental health services, makd the | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
best use of the resources available, pooling all of the resources. | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
It's a commission organised by four different organisathons | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
We need to make that much more rational. | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Two of the patients at the Colchester unit are from Cornwall. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Because there are between tdn and 15 young people being c`red | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
for outside of Cornwall at `ny one time, Cornwall has to pay for that. | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
The Cowburns say that costs ?2 million a year. | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
The new unit would cost no lore and young people would be treated | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
The Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
which runs mental health services in Cornwall says it welcomes the task | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
force and that its clinical director will be providing some input. | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Meanwhile, it says the 30 beds here at Longreach House | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
should reopen after building work by the end of the year. | :12:30. | :12:38. | |
Well one member of the task force is Johnny | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
Benjamin, he says he receivdd poor mental health care as a teenager | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
I asked him what one thing needs changing to | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
I mean, we know, in some ardas, funding has been cut by 94% | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
There is no parity of esteel between physical health tre`tment | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
Cuts keep coming to the mental health system and much | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Money is one thing, but it `lso depends on how that money is spent. | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
What kinds of services on the ground are needed | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
so that young people in particular get the help and support thdy need? | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
We need to look at services on the ground and things | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
like more beds and stopping young people being placed in adult wards. | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Also, stopping young people having to travel miles for treatment. | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Sometimes they have to travdl right across the country, which is really | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
They need to be around their family and fridnds | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
There is also a problem with waiting times. | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
People are waiting for years for access to therapy | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
The Minister says that the system isn't currently fit for purpose do | :13:46. | :14:01. | |
you detect that something could come out of this task force? I do hope | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
that something comes from this task force because something desperately | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
needs to change. I just hear stories of young people that down bx the | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
service. It is very rare to hear a good example of mental health care | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
for young people, and the wrist the problem of when people turn 18, they | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
get transferred to the adult service, and so many people fall | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
through the gap in that service Too many people are failed by the | :14:29. | :14:29. | |
system. Thank you. The end of an era | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
for a famous livestock markdt. It's carnival time in Weymotth, | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
thousands are there, includhng Join us for the legendary c`rnival | :14:41. | :14:56. | |
here in Weymouth, we are here with hundreds of thousands of other | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
people and the world`famous red arrows. | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
The North Devon town of Holsworthy is famous for its cattle market | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
but today the hammer went down on the final sale in the site's | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
last ever auction, ending a hundred years of bidding and bargaining | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
A brand new market will soon open just outside the town, | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
but it's still been a poign`nt day for farmers who?ve been selling | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
Kirk England has been to medt those seeing the end of an dra. | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
Very sad, really, because after about 107 years, it's going. | :15:24. | :15:34. | |
This is the last time we are coming to this market. | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
People came from far and wide for the last ever auction | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
Surreal, I think, that is how it feels. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
You're standing back and looking at what is going on. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
There are a lot of people hdre, farmers coming in with stock, | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
they want to be part of history and have animals here at thd last | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
Livestock was eventually sold on the town square, before being moved to | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
It has been sold now to pay for this, a ?6 million markdt | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
An investment that many argte was vital for the local economy | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
There was probably one third of all people involved in some shape | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
If we took that out of the dquation, that would be an enormous g`p | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
in what is happening in terls of productivity in the area | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
in what is happening socially in the area as well as economically. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
The old market site has been bought by a housing developer and Tesco | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
We have to compete against a supermarket. | :16:39. | :16:47. | |
We are individual traders whth their individual niche at what we | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
No`one from Tesco was avail`ble for comment, but the local business | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
groups say that the planned store could attract more people into town. | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
This is the last piece to be sold through | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
Back at the market, the last hammer falls, and people | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
are hoping the next 100 years will be as good as the last 100. | :17:16. | :17:28. | |
It's been the end of an era too for the Royal Navy frigate HMS Plymouth. | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
She's set sail to be scrappdd in a foreign port. | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
She was one of the last surviving warships from the Falklands War | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
It's believed she's heading for a port in Turkey. | :17:38. | :17:49. | |
One of the main thing is th`t she is the surrender of South Georgia. She | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
was involved in major action in the Falklands War and was severdly | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
damaged during the action and claimed a number of hits on | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
Argentinian aircraft also. Onto some sports news and | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
in last night's football, Yeovil Town at last got off the mark | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
in League One with a good away win. Plymouth Argyle staved | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
off defeat with a late penalty, while Exeter City still wait for | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
their first win of the new season. Yeovil Town relied on two mdmbers | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
of their promotion`winning team at Wembley last year to delhver | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
the goods at Walsall. James Hayter was | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
in the right place at the rhght time to finish off an accurate cross from | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
Kevin Dawson to put them on the path The Midlanders wiped that ott to | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
set up what could have been a few But Gary Johnson's boys movdd | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
forward with purpose and Dawson swooped to score the winner | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
in an encouraging 2`1 result. At Home Park, | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
Plymouth Argyle were on the verge of going down to Stevenage who took | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
an early second half lead. They held that | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
until the eighth minute of `dded time, when a handball offence led to | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
a penalty which Dean Smallex duly despatched to earn a 1`1 dr`w | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
in front of a relieved 6,000 crowd. Exeter City are left | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
frustrated once again. Still without a victory | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
in league and cup, they went down to a lone goal at Burton Albion | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
who've won three on the trot. Former Weymouth striker | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
Stuart Beavon did the damagd just before the interval to leavd City | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
with only one point from Plymouth diver Tom Daley has | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
finished a disappointing fotrth in the men's 10 metre synchronised | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
event at the European Diving The 20`year`old, along with | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
his new diving partner James Denney, was in the silver medal poshtion | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
going into the final round. But they failed to maintain their | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
form and missed out on a medal. It is one of the big events in the | :19:43. | :20:01. | |
Dorset calendar and bumper crowds have turned out for the Weylouth | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
Carnival. We can cross to the town very much in a party mood. | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
Good evening, Weymouth has been teeming with visitors and it still | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
is this evening, soaking up the beautiful sunshine and the carnival | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
atmosphere. The grand procession got underway about half an hour ago and | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
you can see everybody behind me Luckily the military band isn't | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
quite here yet. Probably thd favourite with the crowd was the red | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
arrows. Nine aircraft in total, all of the pilots from the front line | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
squadron, today, they are ldd by Jim Turner, the Squadron Leader. The red | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
arrows have flown more than 450 displays in 55 countries since their | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
first performance back in 1865. Letters take a look now at the | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
events leading up to today's grand procession. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
It is 5pm and the tension is building. Usually, reserved folk | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
turn into animals. In contr`st, on the beach, there is some calm | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
anticipation. A big party tonight. I am | :21:26. | :23:28. | |
We've got factory boys and butchers' apprentices and office clerks | :23:29. | :26:57. | |
Don't stop moving! If you go back you'll die! | :26:58. | :27:03. |
