Welcome to Spotlight on a big night so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00.:00:00.

for one of the South West's leading football clubs.

:00:00.:00:00.

Plymouth Argyle get another crack at Liverpool in the FA Cup

:00:07.:00:16.

And we're going to be live at home Park as 17,500 fans pour into the

:00:17.:00:21.

stadium. We'll also be hearing from members

:00:22.:00:25.

of the Green Army who'll be watching Also tonight - alarm over

:00:26.:00:28.

an early morning wake up call. Fireman were stood there wearing

:00:29.:00:40.

their suits with their helmets and gas masks.

:00:41.:00:42.

Residents were forced to leave their homes,

:00:43.:00:43.

following an arson attack in Newquay.

:00:44.:00:46.

The settlement that is being proposed for Devon schools is

:00:47.:00:48.

Furious MPs condemn funding plans which could leave

:00:49.:00:53.

many of the region's schools worse off.

:00:54.:00:59.

And back with the family of a much loved Somerset nurse -

:01:00.:01:01.

the World War One autograph book signed by the patients

:01:02.:01:04.

Final preparations are underway at Home Park ahead of Plymouth Argyle's

:01:05.:01:28.

third round FA Cup replay match against Liverpool tonight.

:01:29.:01:32.

It's a sell out match - Argyle's Chief Executive telling us

:01:33.:01:35.

that he could have sold double the number of tickets

:01:36.:01:37.

But this is much more than just a football match.

:01:38.:01:42.

The game is also providing a major boost for Plymouth's economy.

:01:43.:01:44.

In a moment we'll be live at Home Park but first

:01:45.:01:47.

John Henderson reports on how the city has been

:01:48.:01:49.

Anyone for today's big match scarf? Today's souvenir match scarf. Game

:01:50.:02:09.

on! The football match that's a great shop window for Plymouth. With

:02:10.:02:15.

my binoculars down at the front, looking at the two warships sailing

:02:16.:02:21.

out this morning. Beautiful. Travelling fans have packed the

:02:22.:02:24.

city's hotels and began thes. -- Bed city's hotels and began thes. -- Bed

:02:25.:02:35.

Breakfasts. A lot of money coming in, a lot of new blood. People

:02:36.:02:39.

coming back for their summer holidays. They say Plymouth is a

:02:40.:02:44.

hidden jewel and I think it is. Good advertising for the town and it has

:02:45.:02:49.

filled up all my rooms. For one business, the icing on the cake. A

:02:50.:02:56.

sugar rush for the boys, giving them the energy to score that goal

:02:57.:03:01.

tonight. Tickets were hard to come by but just as sweet. These are my

:03:02.:03:10.

initials, 08 is for Steven Gerrard, my favourite player. And obviously,

:03:11.:03:19.

everybody knows the Kop. No price for guessing which team this

:03:20.:03:23.

Plymouth taxi driver is supporting. I've been getting a lot of grief.

:03:24.:03:28.

There's a lot of the full support is in Plymouth. Even those that aren't

:03:29.:03:34.

going are excited. It's nice. But little buzz going on. The Reds are

:03:35.:03:43.

here but Plymouth is united in green.

:03:44.:03:47.

Well the excitement is building at Home Park.

:03:48.:03:49.

And we'll be back with her later in the programme.

:03:50.:03:56.

Seven people were forced to leave their homes in Newquay

:03:57.:04:01.

early this morning after an arson attack on their building.

:04:02.:04:04.

A fire had been lit against the front door with police

:04:05.:04:06.

saying if the flames hadn't been spotted by a neighbour,

:04:07.:04:09.

the consequences for those living inside could have been far worse.

:04:10.:04:12.

The seven people who live in this building divided into two flats

:04:13.:04:19.

were given just minutes to leave after the fire brigade arrived

:04:20.:04:22.

that had been started against the front door.

:04:23.:04:31.

The Fire and Rescue Service had attended after being alerted by a

:04:32.:04:37.

resident who saw flames outside the front door. They put out the fire

:04:38.:04:42.

promptly and evacuated to seven persons. Police are treating this as

:04:43.:04:47.

suspicious. The police say the fire was lit on the outside of the door

:04:48.:04:52.

but the flames quickly made their way through the door and there is a

:04:53.:04:56.

strong smell of an accelerant such as petrol.

:04:57.:04:59.

This couple live in the ground floor flat.

:05:00.:05:01.

They then say their first thoughts were for their new kitten.

:05:02.:05:07.

There were fireman with their suits and their gas mass, they said we had

:05:08.:05:13.

to get out and get our stuff. And is there anyone else in the house. It

:05:14.:05:20.

was very much a panic. It could have been a lot worse. I think it was

:05:21.:05:29.

Lynn upstairs who found out what was going on. We were lucky that she got

:05:30.:05:36.

up at 6am. If it had started earlier, it could have been more

:05:37.:05:37.

dangerous. The police believe the fire

:05:38.:05:39.

was started between five o'clock They want anyone who saw

:05:40.:05:46.

anything suspicious in St Thomas' Road

:05:47.:05:52.

at this time to contact them. MPs are warning they'll vote

:05:53.:05:54.

against the government's education plans unless more funding

:05:55.:05:56.

is provided for Devon's schools. The county has always received

:05:57.:05:58.

one of the lowest amounts of cash per pupil and schools had hoped

:05:59.:06:01.

things would improve in proposals But analysis obtained by the BBC

:06:02.:06:04.

shows more than a third of Devon Okehampton College is one of those

:06:05.:06:08.

which stand to lose out. It will have a detrimental effect to

:06:09.:06:20.

everything we try to do. Whether that's extracurricular

:06:21.:06:22.

opportunities, potentially class sizes will be affected, staff

:06:23.:06:26.

allocations will be affected. There is no good news in this.

:06:27.:06:29.

Devon's MPs debated the issue at Westminster today.

:06:30.:06:32.

Conservative Gary Streeter was one of those with a stark

:06:33.:06:34.

If this educational funding settlement does not change,

:06:35.:06:39.

in relation to have in schools, if there is no significant uplift,

:06:40.:06:42.

whatever format it comes, whether in six months,

:06:43.:06:44.

nine months, 12 months' time, I will vote against it.

:06:45.:06:47.

Because the settlement that is being proposed

:06:48.:06:50.

for Devon schools is simply illogical and unfair.

:06:51.:07:06.

All this week we're shedding some light on the pressures on the health

:07:07.:07:09.

service to find out what effect they're having

:07:10.:07:11.

So-called bed blocking is one of the main sources

:07:12.:07:14.

It's when patients remain in a hospital bed even though

:07:15.:07:18.

It cost south west hospitals more than 15,000 days

:07:19.:07:25.

Most of the patients were waiting for care to be

:07:26.:07:28.

arranged for them elsewhere, but providing that care

:07:29.:07:30.

is increasing the demands on our local councils.

:07:31.:07:32.

They're warning they don't have enough funding to pay for it.

:07:33.:07:35.

Our health correspondent Jenny Walrond has been investigating.

:07:36.:07:37.

When social care works well, the need to use other health

:07:38.:07:39.

Chris Head from Connor Downs has motor neurone disease

:07:40.:07:44.

and says his care package enables his wife Jacqui to care

:07:45.:07:52.

They are widening every door in the bungalow so I can get the wheelchair

:07:53.:08:01.

through without colliding with the doors which I have been doing for

:08:02.:08:10.

the last few months. Know that people in their own homes with the

:08:11.:08:14.

right equipment is helpful to everybody in the longer term.

:08:15.:08:18.

But not everyone has such a good experience.

:08:19.:08:20.

The main cause of so-called "bed blocking"

:08:21.:08:22.

in our hospitals is the wait some people face

:08:23.:08:24.

getting social care packages arranged to enable them

:08:25.:08:26.

And that has an impact throughout the hospital.

:08:27.:08:32.

Nigel Charles has non-Hodgkins lymphoma and spent 13 hours

:08:33.:08:35.

on a trolley in Derriford hospital's emergency department

:08:36.:08:38.

after experiencing a pulmonary embolism.

:08:39.:08:41.

He says he was told a shortage of social care

:08:42.:08:44.

It makes you really cross. It's not the fault of the hospital but the

:08:45.:08:58.

broader social care system which has inadequate funding. Thinking, I

:08:59.:09:04.

could be properly taken care of. In particular, I have observed, there

:09:05.:09:09.

are lot of old people around me. That is what really upset me. Older

:09:10.:09:13.

people stuck on trolleys for hours on end.

:09:14.:09:15.

Derriford hospital says its emergency department is seeing

:09:16.:09:17.

unprecedented demand and that staff try to make patients as comfortable

:09:18.:09:20.

And problems arranging social care can means patients

:09:21.:09:23.

at the Royal Cornwall Hospital's emergency department

:09:24.:09:26.

also sometimes spend 12 hours or more waiting for a bed.

:09:27.:09:31.

We know that most days over the winter, we've had over 100 patients

:09:32.:09:40.

who been medically fit for discharge just awaiting additional social

:09:41.:09:45.

care. That has a knock-on effect for patients in A who need to be

:09:46.:09:50.

admitted to hospital. It's easy to see the impact that a lack of social

:09:51.:09:58.

care has. But authorities warned that they don't have money to pay

:09:59.:10:03.

for it. Many authorities are not confident they have the funding to

:10:04.:10:07.

fulfil their legal responsibilities this financial year. Even more are

:10:08.:10:12.

not confident about the next financial year. While the government

:10:13.:10:16.

says it is giving more money for social care, it is difficult to see

:10:17.:10:20.

the problem going away any time soon.

:10:21.:10:23.

On tomorrow night's Spotlight some of the key decision makers

:10:24.:10:25.

in the health service in the South West

:10:26.:10:27.

will be here for a special debate which we'll continue

:10:28.:10:30.

after the programme live on our Facebook page.

:10:31.:10:31.

You don't have to have a Facebook account to join the debate.

:10:32.:10:34.

Just go online to facebook.com/BBCSpotlight

:10:35.:10:39.

And our local radio stations are also debating

:10:40.:10:42.

the state of the national health service tomorrow.

:10:43.:10:44.

Join Laurence Reed on BBC Radio Cornwall at midday -

:10:45.:10:48.

and you can have a chat with me on BBC Radio Devon from one o'clock.

:10:49.:11:09.

A book in which soldiers drew pictures and signed autographs in

:11:10.:11:18.

honour of the nurse that cared for them has just been returned to her

:11:19.:11:19.

family. Violet's book is full

:11:20.:11:21.

of touching letters. "I wish you all the best

:11:22.:11:23.

things of the world." Iris Simmons founded 40 years ago

:11:24.:11:28.

and has treasured it since. She is very tender

:11:29.:11:31.

and caring to the men But determined to return

:11:32.:11:35.

the book to Violet's family, Researchers found Violet's grandson

:11:36.:11:42.

and they met for the first time. I was just so pleased that somebody

:11:43.:11:50.

had gone to all that effort to track me down to let me have

:11:51.:11:56.

something that my long lost grandmother

:11:57.:12:11.

owned, who I know virtually nothing about,

:12:12.:12:13.

to return it to me, and it's Iris was living there

:12:14.:12:15.

when she found her book. Strangely, Iris and Mark now

:12:16.:12:19.

live within a few miles Stranger too, Dave

:12:20.:12:22.

discovered Violet's old home I've lived all over the place

:12:23.:12:25.

and settled in this area and didn't even know that this

:12:26.:12:30.

was on my doorstep. It's been really good

:12:31.:12:33.

to find all this out. Firstly that the book has been

:12:34.:12:35.

recovered by family and will be, hopefully, in the family

:12:36.:12:39.

from now on. Violet died in 1972

:12:40.:12:43.

but her life's work lives If you've just joined us,

:12:44.:12:45.

it's a big night for one Live now to Home Park and Natalie's

:12:46.:12:54.

there with all the news 17,500 fans are expected

:12:55.:13:01.

to be here at Home Park tonight for the game -

:13:02.:13:12.

many of them have made it already. But there are many many

:13:13.:13:15.

more who won't be here - some of them are in far flung

:13:16.:13:17.

corners of the world. I've tracked a few of them down -

:13:18.:13:20.

from Afghanistan to the USA to Australia and New Zealand -

:13:21.:13:23.

all members of the I will be watching in Kaboul,

:13:24.:13:46.

Afghanistan. I'm from Perth Western Australia, here is my mum Sue and my

:13:47.:13:52.

dad Mike, and we are all going to be watching the game against Liverpool

:13:53.:13:58.

on Monday morning at 3:45am. I'm Claire and this is Kevin and we will

:13:59.:14:06.

be watching from the beautiful island in Honduras. I'm going to be

:14:07.:14:14.

watching from Mick Ugen USA. My name's Andy Soper, I'm calling from

:14:15.:14:23.

New Zealand. I'll be watching from 5am tomorrow morning. I'm very

:14:24.:14:30.

passionate with the North Argyll. I'd rather be there in real life.

:14:31.:14:37.

He's the reason I'm so Argyll mad. He took me when I was seven and it

:14:38.:14:42.

has carried on from them. How does it feel to be so far away from the

:14:43.:14:49.

big game? It's so frustrating. One of the best feelings is to look at

:14:50.:14:54.

the app on my mobile phone and to see the next game is Liverpool

:14:55.:14:59.

against Plymouth Argyle. I've considered flying home on a couple

:15:00.:15:05.

of occasions. Unfortunately, losing at Wembley. I was never able to make

:15:06.:15:11.

it. It's a great thing that they are airing on screen here. Not only one

:15:12.:15:16.

game, but two, and maybe three if they beat Liverpool. I've told my

:15:17.:15:22.

mates that I won't be at golf because this is far more important.

:15:23.:15:28.

Did you watch the first game at Anfield? We were on the edge of our

:15:29.:15:33.

seats. They took so much pressure in the second half but they worse

:15:34.:15:38.

magnificent. Were hoping for more of the same on Wednesday. We had a

:15:39.:15:43.

slight problem with the electric for the last five or six minutes so we

:15:44.:15:47.

didn't know the result until it came back on again. The one thing I miss

:15:48.:15:53.

more than anything is the trip from hail up to Argyll. I would eat my

:15:54.:16:00.

pasty, watch the game with my mates. Block three, C 92. It's a close

:16:01.:16:07.

game, really exciting. At 3:45am, it's hard work. It will be a mid

:16:08.:16:14.

afternoon kick-off for me with the time difference. Everything will be

:16:15.:16:18.

on hold for me. Albee watching the game, really excited. Albee back in

:16:19.:16:27.

a few weeks. I'll be home for the next round match. Can they do it?

:16:28.:16:38.

Come on, Argyll! Such lovely people and it was fantastic to talk to them

:16:39.:16:43.

all. If you are watching the match anywhere unusual, take a picture and

:16:44.:16:48.

post it on our Facebook page. Keep it clean though.

:16:49.:16:53.

Now let's see now how the managers are feeling.

:16:54.:16:55.

The superstars landed in Devon this morning,

:16:56.:16:58.

But how many of their big name players will be

:16:59.:17:03.

In the first match, three players who cost Liverpool more

:17:04.:17:07.

than ?60 million pounds between them,

:17:08.:17:10.

were brought on to try and break the deadlock - to no avail.

:17:11.:17:13.

The manager has no regrets, but there's a big hint

:17:14.:17:15.

We want to win the game and go to the next round. So, you will see it.

:17:16.:17:26.

Probably, it will be different to the team that we had in the first

:17:27.:17:33.

game. But that's not 100% sure. Have to wait a little bit.

:17:34.:17:35.

His opposite number has a much more simplistic approach.

:17:36.:17:39.

You've got to go and enjoy the match. It's just another game. A

:17:40.:17:46.

very good spectacle for everybody in the city but as a footballer, it's

:17:47.:17:51.

11 against 11 on the park and you never know what can happen. Well

:17:52.:17:55.

said, Derek Adams. Did you know that here in Plymouth,

:17:56.:17:57.

Liverpool fans have a meeting place where they can go and

:17:58.:18:02.

enjoy games together? It's Porters on the Barbican

:18:03.:18:04.

and tonight it's welcoming new visitors who've made the trip

:18:05.:18:07.

from Merseyside and have stopped off there for a pasty before

:18:08.:18:10.

they come here to Home Park. Hamish Marshall has

:18:11.:18:12.

been to meet them. The atmosphere is building here. The

:18:13.:18:21.

flag says it all. This is where the Liverpool fans of Plymouth com to

:18:22.:18:26.

watch the match. Some of them are able to get to home Park tonight.

:18:27.:18:31.

Steve, you're the landlord. How big is this? Over the last two seasons

:18:32.:18:40.

it has built and built. Whatever game is on, we have a great time.

:18:41.:18:46.

They are nice people. You've been out of Liverpool for a while but you

:18:47.:18:52.

are still a fan. I've been here 42 years. Supporters do a fantastic

:18:53.:18:58.

job. It's a home from home. How's it going to go tonight? I firmly

:18:59.:19:05.

believe it should be 3- 02. But Argyll did really well. I'm really

:19:06.:19:09.

pleased that they got the money for the replay but I honestly think that

:19:10.:19:15.

we'll win 3-0. Scott, what do you think will happen tonight? Any win

:19:16.:19:21.

is fine by me. I know a lot of locals and if they win, I won't hear

:19:22.:19:28.

the end of it. How nice would be to get home before midnight? It's

:19:29.:19:33.

brilliant. Normally, I wouldn't be home before midnight. Tonight, taxi

:19:34.:19:41.

home, five minutes. It's brilliant. I'm just heading up to home Park to

:19:42.:19:46.

join you up there. But those here in the pub are going to have a

:19:47.:19:52.

brilliant time. It sounds fantastic. There are loads of famous people

:19:53.:19:57.

here. I've seen Steven Gerrard, Neil Warnock. I've got some more famous

:19:58.:20:04.

people. John Houston. You are here to work for five live. Did you

:20:05.:20:10.

expect to be here for the replay? I don't think any others expected to

:20:11.:20:16.

be here. I have to say, you've deserved the right to be here. A

:20:17.:20:21.

wonderful defensive display from Plymouth. Derek Adam Scott his

:20:22.:20:25.

tactics spot on. Financially, they will be in a better place for the

:20:26.:20:31.

replay. I feel it will push them on. League 2, second at the minute, this

:20:32.:20:37.

is a fantastic boost for the club. Great atmosphere, isn't it? It's

:20:38.:20:45.

brilliant. A pleasure to be here. Not only the Argyle fans. The

:20:46.:20:49.

Liverpool fans. People have spent a whole day coming here tonight and it

:20:50.:20:54.

is a big game for both clubs but it is huge for Plymouth. They deserve

:20:55.:20:57.

it. They've worked so hard to get here. Ryan, you are injured. Are you

:20:58.:21:09.

gutted to be missing it? I am gutted. But I'm pleased to be here

:21:10.:21:13.

watching and involved in the club today. You are both summarising for

:21:14.:21:20.

radio Devon. Are you looking forward to it? I've done it all season and

:21:21.:21:26.

it's been really good, keeping my mind close to the team. He's had a

:21:27.:21:35.

blinder every game. Don't get used to the radio, we need you back,

:21:36.:21:40.

pitch. John, who do you think is going to do it tonight? The FA Cup

:21:41.:21:47.

is stoked traditionally with shocks and upsets. It can happen. You saw

:21:48.:21:52.

Lincoln knockout Ipswich last night. Already, six Premier League clubs

:21:53.:21:58.

have gone out. It can happen. You have got to dream. I think Liverpool

:21:59.:22:02.

will be too strong on the night. They will play with a strong front

:22:03.:22:06.

three but Plymouth will give it everything and it won't be a stroll

:22:07.:22:11.

in the park for Liverpool tonight. I'm hoping for an Argyll win. It's a

:22:12.:22:15.

tough test. It would be memorable. Fingers crossed. And, Ryan? No goals

:22:16.:22:24.

during the game but late on somebody can nick it. That is my guess. They

:22:25.:22:31.

have all got jobs to do here so I am going to let them get on with it.

:22:32.:22:35.

for all the reaction to tonight's match, that's at half past ten.

:22:55.:22:58.

I'm not a big fan of football but even I am quite excited. One of our

:22:59.:23:09.

viewers is excited about daffodils in full bloom.

:23:10.:23:15.

It's been very cold but quite a lot of sunshine. Starting with the

:23:16.:23:21.

football, it's going to be very cold tonight. But on an extra pair of

:23:22.:23:27.

socks. By the end of the match, temperatures could be close to

:23:28.:23:31.

freezing. It's going to be a chilly night but hopefully one from the

:23:32.:23:38.

have kept the cloud. For most others, quickly it's going to turn

frosty. There will be a fair amount of frost tomorrow morning. A range

:24:32.:24:38.

of temperatures along the coastline. Two or three degrees above freezing.

:24:39.:24:44.

You don't have to go far inland to find temperatures in the minus

come out in bloom. But it is cold. Just a bit more of a breeze. An

easterly wind developing. If you want to set your barometer, a very

There isn't a huge amount for surfing at the moment.
