:00:17. > :01:29.and vulnerable people in Devon face being left without a daily hot meal
:01:30. > :01:29.being delivered to them. The private company, Apetito,
:01:30. > :01:31.will end its service next month. It says it became unviable after
:01:32. > :01:34.Devon County Council stopped its But that's left many people angry,
:01:35. > :01:40.as Hamish Marshall reports. Pauline Young is 82 and lives in
:01:41. > :01:42.South Molton. She has memory problems
:01:43. > :01:45.and limited mobility. A hot meal delivered daily means
:01:46. > :01:47.the world to her. It is lovely to know that it is
:01:48. > :01:58.coming and that I am going to get But the service stops in a couple
:01:59. > :02:03.of weeks. To save half a million
:02:04. > :02:07.the council stopped the subsidy Pauline and her son Nigel were
:02:08. > :02:14.happy to pay that, but others were not and she has
:02:15. > :02:17.been told the service is stopping. But I can and do blame the county
:02:18. > :02:28.council for not providing support to people who need this vital
:02:29. > :02:33.lifeline. The company based in these
:02:34. > :02:36.offices in Exeter say they to provide the hot meal
:02:37. > :02:39.service, But it says reduced numbers
:02:40. > :02:43.and increased costs means that the service is no longer
:02:44. > :02:49.financially viable. She is not able to use
:02:50. > :02:51.kitchen equipment any more, so a frozen meal to microwave will
:02:52. > :02:55.not work. Seemingly there is no
:02:56. > :02:58.other provider in this part of North Devon to operate a hot meal
:02:59. > :03:01.service. My mum can't, the option
:03:02. > :03:05.that has been suggested with a frozen meal for my mum to be able to
:03:06. > :03:14.reheat is just out of the question. Devon County Council said they do
:03:15. > :03:18.not have a duty to provide meals and the money saved needs to be spent
:03:19. > :03:22.elsewhere. It says it will try and
:03:23. > :03:25.help people like Pauline But the loss
:03:26. > :03:31.of a meal is not the only issue. She goes to this day centre
:03:32. > :03:34.and that is closing too A 12 year`old boy who has been
:03:35. > :03:45.separated from his family for almost two years is to be given
:03:46. > :03:47.full time care in Cornwall. Josh Wills, who suffers from autism,
:03:48. > :03:50.needs specialist care which was only available 250 miles
:03:51. > :03:53.away in Birmingham. His parents, who launched
:03:54. > :03:57.a huge campaign to bring him home, have now been told that a charity
:03:58. > :04:01.will care for him back in Cornwall. Josh Wills on a day out on the
:04:02. > :04:11.beach like any other boy, but look closely, he has his arms
:04:12. > :04:14.wrapped tightly in his jacket His self harming is so great it has
:04:15. > :04:21.been judged as life`threatening. Because of this he is being cared
:04:22. > :04:24.at a secure unit in Birmingham, His parents began a campaign
:04:25. > :04:43.to get him back to Cornwall. They enlisted the help of
:04:44. > :04:46.MP Norman Lamb. This week they were given
:04:47. > :04:49.the news they had been waiting for. The charity will provide a house
:04:50. > :04:53.for Josh in Cornwall. His father says there is a lot
:04:54. > :04:56.of catching up to do. By the time that he comes home,
:04:57. > :05:06.it will be nice to see him in the garden maybe with her,
:05:07. > :05:10.my other son Elliot and Sarah and Gavin's daughter Isabelle and son
:05:11. > :05:11.William. And ultimately it will be nice to
:05:12. > :05:19.have him sat where you are now, snuggling up
:05:20. > :05:28.one evening watching TV. Cornwall Council
:05:29. > :05:30.and NHS Curnow said that they are doing all they can to make sure that
:05:31. > :05:33.his care is provided close to home It is hoped he will be back
:05:34. > :05:38.in Cornwall in the next few months. Meanwhile his parents say that there
:05:39. > :05:41.are many other families and children in similar situations
:05:42. > :06:01.and they want to help these Devon Cornwall Police have been
:06:02. > :06:09.told to take immediate action to remove `` improve how they record
:06:10. > :06:13.some crimes. A report has criticised how domestic violence cases are
:06:14. > :06:20.dealt with. It found assault on viable adults are not always logged
:06:21. > :06:23.as crime. It said it was a cause for concern. The report found officers
:06:24. > :06:26.handed out cautions in some domestic abuse cases, against national
:06:27. > :06:34.guidelines. They said in most cases it recommends offenders should be
:06:35. > :06:44.charged. I am joined by a survivor of domestic abuse and a
:06:45. > :06:49.representative of services to deal with domestic abuse. What do you
:06:50. > :06:53.think about cautions being given instead of charges, against the
:06:54. > :06:58.guideline? It is hard when it is given for a perpetrator. They have
:06:59. > :07:03.to take responsibility really for their actions. With just a caution
:07:04. > :07:09.it is almost saying that behaviour is OK and they carry on. A spokesman
:07:10. > :07:13.has said that in some cases they might have been insufficient
:07:14. > :07:18.evidence to bring charges. It was felt a caution was better than
:07:19. > :07:23.be better than nothing but the law be better than nothing but the law
:07:24. > :07:28.needs to look at all of the signs of domestic abuse, like coercion and
:07:29. > :07:33.control which leads to the violence then taking place. And if you leave
:07:34. > :07:39.a victim with a perpetrator and when the police have gone, they are
:07:40. > :07:44.almost in an even more vulnerable place. The force said it is treating
:07:45. > :07:49.domestic abuse as a priority and is working hard to improve things. It
:07:50. > :07:54.is not the first time they have been criticised. In a previous report it
:07:55. > :07:58.was found wanting and criticised for not abiding a consistent service for
:07:59. > :08:06.victims. In your experience what needs to change to improve things?
:08:07. > :08:10.It is across the board. It is not just the police. It is the Crown
:08:11. > :08:18.Prosecution Service as well. The whole system needs to be backed up.
:08:19. > :08:25.You need to know that you are in good hands and you will not be let
:08:26. > :08:29.down. Do you think that the police are making steps forward? I find it
:08:30. > :08:35.is inconsistent. Some police officers really do work hard.
:08:36. > :08:41.Others, you feel they do not understand. Thank you very much. We
:08:42. > :08:45.did asked to speak to somebody from Devon Cornwall Police but we were
:08:46. > :08:49.told nobody was available for this programme. But we do hope to hear
:08:50. > :08:53.from them in the late news. But the force did say in a statement that
:08:54. > :08:57.the immediate steps recommended by the report have been implemented.
:08:58. > :09:01.They also said that the report highlights many areas of good

:11:32. > :11:39.Probably better than when we clang away on Sunday. The bell`ringers

:23:26. > :23:37.similar action again. STUDIO: That is very nice. And it is
:23:38. > :23:40.nice to see the sun out in Falmouth and Dartmouth and after Torbay
:23:41. > :23:46.yesterday. The red arrows could not go over because of the rain. Now the
:23:47. > :23:52.weather. How is it going to be? Lovely evening for most of us. It
:23:53. > :23:57.gives us a clue about next week. Some might come back. I have got my
:23:58. > :23:59.summer suit on. It is September and the children are going back to
:24:00. > :24:05.school. A hint that things might be school. A hint that things might be
:24:06. > :24:11.a bit warmer and drier next week. Good evening. Into this evening and
:24:12. > :24:15.a nice end for most of us. But this wind is picking up overnight tonight
:24:16. > :24:19.and into tomorrow. Tomorrow, we might have some bright spells but I
:24:20. > :24:22.think it will be a bit of a cloudy day than we have seen. Some showers
:24:23. > :24:28.coming in and that is becoming more coming in and that is becoming more
:24:29. > :24:31.persistent into the afternoon. A look at the satellite picture. And
:24:32. > :24:37.we have got swirling cloud which we have seen earlier. That is clearing
:24:38. > :24:41.East. We can see a little line of cloud coming through, courtesy of a
:24:42. > :24:47.cold front we saw earlier today. That brought us drizzly conditions.
:24:48. > :24:51.That has cleared. Drier and brighter conditions have been left behind.
:24:52. > :24:55.These bars are getting tighter together, indicating that
:24:56. > :25:00.south`westerly breeze will be here for the next day or so. We have
:25:01. > :25:03.still got the wind with us. Low pressure moving slightly north`east.
:25:04. > :25:09.A difficult series of weather fronts and giving us some showers and
:25:10. > :25:12.times. High building from the south. And quite a deep area of low
:25:13. > :25:16.pressure. That is the remnants of the hurricane making its way up
:25:17. > :25:22.through the Atlantic in the next couple of days. It will not hit us
:25:23. > :25:27.directly. But into Monday, we might have a weather front bringing cloud
:25:28. > :25:30.and some rain around. But it is bringing in warm conditions from the
:25:31. > :25:35.continent. That should warm us up next week. We can take a look at the
:25:36. > :25:37.satellite and radar. The cloud and the showers went through earlier
:25:38. > :25:41.today. Still some showers and a bit today. Still some showers and a bit
:25:42. > :25:46.of cloud in Somerset but foremost, it is fine end to the day. Overnight
:25:47. > :25:53.tonight, most of the showers have clear. One or two are still possible
:25:54. > :25:55.and variable cloud overnight. We have still got that south`westerly
:25:56. > :26:02.breeze and I think that will help holding temperatures overnight. Not
:26:03. > :26:05.getting much below 13, 14 degrees. Into tomorrow. Some brighter
:26:06. > :26:11.in the south. We will get a fair few in the south. We will get a fair few
:26:12. > :26:15.showers pushing through in the morning. Into the afternoon,
:26:16. > :26:18.clumping together and some heavier periods of rain. Especially up at
:26:19. > :26:26.the Bristol Channel `` Bristol Channel. All the while we have got
:26:27. > :26:31.the south`westerly breeze with us. Temperatures probably not even 18 or
:26:32. > :26:39.cloud. In the Isles of Scilly, cloud. In the Isles of Scilly,
:26:40. > :26:42.rather cloudy. Some showers initially and into the afternoon and
:26:43. > :26:49.I think we will hold onto the breeze in the day. High water is at 733.
:26:50. > :26:56.And again at 747 in the evening. Portland...
:26:57. > :27:04.With the breeze, the serve, we have got some big waves, especially on
:27:05. > :27:07.the north coast. Between five and eight feet but the crosswind is
:27:08. > :27:16.making the surf rather choppy. Choppy wind. Veering north`westerly
:27:17. > :27:17.4`5 with rain and showers and generally good, occasionally
:27:18. > :27:23.moderate visibility with any showers. Into the outlook and for
:27:24. > :27:27.tomorrow, a fair few showers. Saturday should be more dry. A
:27:28. > :27:32.chance of isolated showers but more cloudy. Temperatures creeping up on
:27:33. > :27:33.Sunday but should be dry with bright conditions at time. Cloud on Monday
:27:34. > :27:38.but getting warmer as we go through but getting warmer as we go through
:27:39. > :27:41.the week. That is it from us for tonight. We will be back tomorrow
:27:42. > :27:45.with more coverage from the Tall Ships in Falmouth. We will leave you
:27:46. > :28:16.with a view there tonight. From all of us on the programme, good night.
:28:17. > :28:18.Go away if you don't me to speak to you like that!
:28:19. > :28:22.Most schools exclude disruptive pupils.
:28:23. > :28:26.I ain't putting up with this any more.
