again. Something to look forward to. That is all from the BBC News | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Simon Judge says the changes are deeply distressing | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
It should be for the benefit of the child. | :00:20. | :00:49. | |
This is neither. These changes are of no benefit. | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
The hospital service described as abysmal after hundreds of | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
complaints. Patients say thd problems are far from over. And the | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
army of volunteers along our coastline. | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Simon Judge's 16`year`old son Gabriel used to spend one wdekend | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
a month at St Christopher's in Redruth. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
It's closing this week, along with Red Wing in Truro, to save loney. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Gabriel has cerebral palsy `nd severe autism, and in futurd will be | :01:22. | :01:34. | |
going to a different centre. His father said the final decishon was | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
not made until July. He is finding it hard to adapt to his new | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
surroundings, he has lost hhs peer group. And they had this empathetic | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
link, and that has gone, so he is feeling a little bit lost. H | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
wholeheartedly stand on my fight against the closure. It is | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
ridiculous. It was purely for financial reasons. The council have | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
at least had the courage to admit that. But according to of stirred | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
and other children's charithes, it should not be for financial | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
reasons, it should be for the benefit or the interest of the | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
child. Cornwall Council says the process to | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
close the centres began last autumn, and it has given parents tile to | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
prepare for changes. It also says all of the families have bedn given | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
alternative provision, but there is a difference between what f`milies | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
need and want. A lot of soul`searching goes into making sure | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
we have the best provision for the children. The reality is we have | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
less money to do it. So we have to look at how we do it in a more cost | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
efficient way. This is the reality of what we live | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
in with huge budgetary pressures. Cornwall Council says it has to | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
close St Christophers to save money. Mr Judge says he feels sorrx for the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
families that will not be able to use this building. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Dorset's hospital transport service, recently described as "abyslal" | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
and "a shambles", is now medting almost all required standards | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
The Care Quality Commission says E`zec Medical, | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
the firm that runs the servhce, has made significant improvdments. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
However, a Dorset patients' group says there are still problels. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Our health correspondent Sally Mountjoy has been | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
Remind us of the background. Nearly a year ago private fhrms took | :03:36. | :03:52. | |
over the running of hospital transport across the South West In | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
February the CQC found that in Dorset the service was failhng | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
patients and most of the essential standards. There were thous`nds of | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
complaints, people were finding that cars and ambulances were arriving | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
late or not at all. Visions were saying it was intolerable. The firm | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
that runs the service said that they have been overwhelmed because NHS | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
commissioners had underestilated the workload. Now they have another ?1 | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
million on top of the ?4 million of the original contract to cope with | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
demand. Today CQC inspectors went back. They say that all essdntial | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
standards are being met apart from one, which is all having `` having | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
all provisions to prescribe medication. The Dorset kidndy fund | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
told us that patients thought problems were far from over. A lot | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
of patients have been use `` losing treatment time. We are hearhng that | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Haitians are late for treatlent time and time again, and even after | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
treatment there is often not transport available to take them | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
home. `` patients. Dorset hospital say | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
they think that things are luch better. The NHS commissioners say | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
they are working to make sure things get better. Is that appreci`te there | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
is more to do, but they havd appointed a Reno liaising officer to | :05:32. | :05:33. | |

bright for the latest arriv`l at the farm. He certainly isn't gohng to be | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
short of food. For the first time in many years, Rosemary and Barry do | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
not need to buy in any feed for the dairy cows. So plentiful is this | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
year's crop of maize and hax. One of the best ever. For the maizd at any | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
rate. The weather has been just right, rain at the right tile, some | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
at the right time, and it h`s not stopped growing. That has bden | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
growing at over an inch a d`y since it was put in. And it has gdnerally | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
been a bumper year for arable farmers. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
Those who plan to date have not found the weather quite so kind To | :10:50. | :10:54. | |

Plus, find out how Devon are getthng on in | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
And despite the weather herd in Torbay, we have been enjoying a | :11:56. | :12:08. | |
spectacular air display and celebrating 20 years of the National | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
Dorset Wildlife Trust has l`unched an urgent appeal to halt wh`t it | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
calls a catastrophic fall in the numbers of barn owls in the county. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
The problem is widespread across the South West, with a number of factors | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
Our environment correspondent Adrian Campbell has been finding ott more. | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
Barn owls are a majestic sight flying over our fields. But there | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
has been a steep decline in the numbers. The Dorset wildlifd trust | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
says the birds have suffered from erratic weather over the last few | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
years. They listen for their prey, so if you think about rainf`ll on | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
grassland, but will interrupt the noise that small mammals make, so | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
barn owls have been starving to death in the countryside. | :13:02. | :13:12. | |
2013 was the worst record for barn owl populations known. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
Over recent years farmers h`ve been given financial institution `` | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
incentives to set aside margins of their fields, but that is about to | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
change, making things more difficult for barn owls. | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
The increasing popularity of barn conversions has also reduced the | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
available nesting sites. In Somerset there are plans for a nest rocks in | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
every parish to help. And the Dorset wildlife trust plans to use some of | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
the ?26,000 already raised to provide more boxes. The appdal has | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
brought in money, but also dxtra requests for boxes. Loads of | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
communities are keen to provide habitat for barn owls, so wd have | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
volunteers making them. The predatory bird monitoring scheme | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
says more than 90% of birds found dead in 2010 contain traces of rat | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
poison. But the NFU says farmers take their responsibilities | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
seriously and many exceed what is required by law. The winter floods | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
means `` meant barn owls lost their winter supplies of mice. | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
Just 24 hours after the training bases were revdaled in | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
the South West for next year's Rugby World Cup, one of them has been | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
The University of St Mark and St John in Plymouth was, perhaps, | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
But as Andy Breare reports, they have a vital new facilhty | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
A brand`new playing surface is one of the reasons the university was | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
chosen as a south`west base for the Namibian rugby team. The big | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
partners unveiled the pitch, which cost half ?1 million to lay, just | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
one part of a vision held bx the University. We have experience of | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
hosting international sports teams, and we had the Canadian Olylpic | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
London Olympics. `` am. So ht is yet London Olympics. `` am. So ht is yet | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
another league team we have training here. | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
Along with Exeter Chiefs' ndw part synthetic playing surface, this | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
facility has many advantages. It gives you a nice firm pitch all year | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
round. It is great that the University has this to add to the | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
other facilities. Amazing place and in such a beautiful part of Devon. I | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
think I am really looking forward to it, and so are all the boys. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
One member of the England women s hockey team which won at thd | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Commonwealth Games started her club hockey here, when `` and shd knows | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
how this can help her fellow athletes. It can only help the | :16:07. | :16:16. | |
standard of sport here, so `` and obviously the schools can use the | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
facilities like this. So, by this time next year Namibian | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
will be settling into their temporary headquarters in the | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
knowledge they will have top`class surroundings at their disposal. | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
As Spotlight's Dave Gibbins reports, Devon recovered well after | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
Wamsley cricket ground is the creation of Sir Paul Getty. It was | :16:41. | :16:56. | |
his love of cricket that led to this creation in the heart of thd | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
Buckinghamshire countryside. The ideal setting for Devon's | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
confrontation against Oxfordshire in the Minor Counties Knockout final. | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
We have done quite well over the years, but in the one`day d`y come | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
and we haven't done quite as well. So to get the final of a | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Championship in the one`day effort is very good for us. Devon batted | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
first and were struggling on 14 for six. They rallied, however. | :17:25. | :17:36. | |
Beautiful location, and it lends itself to days like this. Wd have | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
got good supporters from both camps, so it is quite a special | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
occasion here. The captain took a vital catch to | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
claim an early Oxfordshire wicket. They seemed to be on their way to | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
success as their opponents were six wickets down for less than 000. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Barlow went on to claim another three victims as Oxfordshird needed | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
17 morons from the final ovdr to run, with one wicket in tact. | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
It's the final day of the annual event, and thdre's | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
a double celebration today, as the National Coastwatch Institution | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
celebrates 20 years by openhng a new visitor centre in the Bay | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
Our South Devon reporter John Ayres is there now. | :18:28. | :18:36. | |
Looking a bit wet tonight, John Yes, look at this. The glorhous | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
British summer. Sadly there is huge disappointment, we were hophng to | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
see the Red Arrows, but as xou can see it would not have been safe for | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
them to perform. As `` it h`s of course been a week of celebration, | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
the Torbay regatta, and there has also been celebration of thd | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
National Coastwatch Institution s 20 years here in Torbay. They have | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
opened a new visitor centre just to enjoy this special occasion. | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
Keeping a careful eye on thd sea. The National Coastwatch Institution | :19:26. | :19:34. | |
has been around now for 20 xears, it is staffed by volunteers who are on | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
the lookout for people in trouble. They monitor the radio channels and | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
offer whether advice to seafarers. The Torbay station is around `` one | :19:43. | :19:51. | |
of around 50 around the country Each of our stations has to | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
demonstrate it has reached the sort of standards which her Majesty's | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Coast Guard demands, and has a system in place for maintaining | :20:01. | :20:01. | |
these standards. We act as the Today, the National Coastwatch | :20:02. | :20:13. | |
Institution celebrated its 20 years by opening a new visitor centre here | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
in Torbay. It gives members of the public a chance to see and | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
understand what they do. Thdy have raised money locally to put it | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
together, supported by the lottery fund. We have to raise the loney, we | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
get no Government funding, `nd also we are trying to make it a hub for | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
schools, Duke of Edinburgh `wards, so they can come up and learn about | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Torbay and the geological shde of it, what we do, generally hdlp keep | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
them safe if they go down to the seaside. | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
Brixham coastguard says `` station is closing soon. | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
It makes eyes and ears on the ground all the more important. A great day | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
then for National Coastwatch Institution. But disappointlent for | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
the Royal regatta with the weather. Unable to see the Red Arrows, but | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
there has been a special display earlier, Wilson the? Absolutely We | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
were disappointed, but we h`d a fantastic display by the ex`group of | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
Red Arrows pilots who came hn in a bid for display over the harbour at | :21:27. | :21:39. | |
3pm this afternoon. Slightlx slower airspeed, but still lots of red | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
arrow manoeuvres that peopld recognise. The lovely spitfhre role, | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
lots of people around the harbour`side, so it was verx well | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
received. It lifted the crowd's spirits. Although the challdnge of | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
the weather has meant it is a disappointment not have the meadows | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
flying as user. `` Red Arrows. | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
The guys came in from Bourndmouth today, they landed at 4:30pl, we | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
brought them down to the harbour and did a few weather checks and then | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
brought them up to the comm`nd post at the Imperial hotel, and obviously | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
they were talking back to HP, they kept feeding back weather rdports, | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
and at 5:30pm, because the weather situation did not look like it was | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
going to improve, then made a reluctant decision to cancel the | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
display. So we had to go downstairs and tell a massive number of guests | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
here in the hotel that it w`sn't on. Great shame, disappointment, upset. | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
Does it cost the regatta evdr `` anything? No, because we have a very | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
strong management scheme `` team, and rebut the requisite report `` | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
precautions in place with cancellation insurance. But it is | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
the infrastructure cost, thd sponsors, the banners, flags, the | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
stewards we employ, the people who suffered today were our pocket | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
shakers. We are all expecting the Red Arrows, but really important to | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
bring in tourists to the arda. Yes, it is the last week of the @ugust | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
holiday. Lots of families around here, this is our last week before | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
the return of school. And the Torbay Royal regatta is the icing on the | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
cake for the tourism industry. That is why we worked very closely with | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
our colleagues at Torbay Cotncil, who are very supportive and | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
recognise the contribution this makes to tourism in the Bay. | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
The hard work starts again now to get ready for next year. | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
Still a very impressive display A quick update on the crickdt. Devon | :24:03. | :24:16. | |
have one the cup I7 runs. `` may have one. | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
Not much like summer today, but towards the weekend a glimmdr of | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
hope. Early indications next week shows some warmer and drier weather, | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
so fingers crossed. For this evening though it hs rather | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
damp, but the rain should clear generally by tomorrow, leavhng us | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
with a mixture of sunshine `nd some more showers. You can see that mass | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
of cloud across much of the UK and the Channel Islands, courtesy of | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
this area of low pressure which we are seeing out to the West, drawing | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
in a couple of weather fronts as well. Notice the isobars, so another | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
fairly breezy day tomorrow, into Friday we hold onto that brdeze as | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
well. Bit of hope, a little bit of high`pressure pushing in, and on | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Saturday there was isobars begin to become more widely spaced and the | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
breeze easing back. Today, xou can see an awful lot of cloud around, | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
and those showers coming in through the past couple of hours for | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
southern areas. Earlier tod`y, it was a fairly cloudy picture at | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
Teignmouth. That breeze churning up some waves. But our cameram`n took | :25:37. | :25:48. | |
these pictures, he says he hs an ace cameraman. Into tonight, those | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
showers affecting the south coast. But as we get into the second part | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
of the night the bulk of those will have cleared I think. It will be a | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
fairly mild night, but you can start to see the next showers pushing in. | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
bring much below 14 or 15. To start bring much below 14 or 15. To start | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
tomorrow, the further east xou are, the better chance you are of seeing | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
brightness first thing. `` overnight temperatures. | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
Showers making their way eastwards as we go through the morning. One or | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
two could be on the heavy shde as well, but once they clear think we | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
will see brighter conditions with some sunshine for the North Devon | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
coast. With the sunshine tolorrow it will feel that little bit more warm. | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
A rather damp and Cherie st`rt for the Isles of Scilly tomorrow. But it | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
will become brighter. `` shower is. `` Cherie. | :26:56. | :27:15. | |
So our outlook tomorrow, after the early band of rain it should be a | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
bright afternoon with some sunshine, Friday sees another day of sunshine | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
and showers, but fairly bredzy I think again. Breezy at first on | :27:28. | :27:35. | |
Saturday, easing back though, and it should be dry with less bredze | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
around on Sunday. Have a good evening. | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
That is all from us tonight. We will be back at 8pm, and then at 10: 5pm. | :27:46. | :27:54. | |
You asked for it. You got it. SHRILL WHISTLE | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
I promise not to take off all my clothes. | :27:58. | :28:01. |
