:01:50. > :01:53.neighbouring forces Dorset, and Avon and Somerset as good,

:02:19. > :02:25.Laura Beal was proud to be a police officer, following in her father 's
:02:26. > :02:29.footsteps and serving in Devon and Cornwall for 13 years. She even
:02:30. > :02:32.featured in promotional leaflets but now she has resigned criticising
:02:33. > :02:40.cutbacks and the service the police can provide. I am expected to go on
:02:41. > :02:51.patrol with one other officer most days, the letter says.
:02:52. > :02:56.To be a police officer, without trying to sound dramatic you have to
:02:57. > :03:01.have something to give that is extraordinary. I had that and I was
:03:02. > :03:04.desperate to give it to the people I wanted to help but I could not
:03:05. > :03:09.because I was getting stifled because we have so much pressure.
:03:10. > :03:12.It's too dangerous, there is not enough of us and we are not able to
:03:13. > :03:17.do the job we were designed to do because there is not enough of us.
:03:18. > :03:24.It is horrendous, it really is. The cuts, it's a front-line job, you
:03:25. > :03:31.have to be a people person, you have to get involved and be seen and you
:03:32. > :03:37.cannot do it. Laura Beal's concerns echoed today any flagship report
:03:38. > :03:41.from the police regulator. After producing Allingham lengthy case
:03:42. > :03:44.file they conclude that Devon and Cornwall police require improvement
:03:45. > :03:47.in cutting crime and keeping people safe, a particular concern is
:03:48. > :03:52.neighbourhood policing. There is some good work the report says but a
:03:53. > :03:55.lack of a coherent strategy which would help the police better engage
:03:56. > :04:01.with communities and so prevent crime. There is plenty to celebrate
:04:02. > :04:07.in the report and we are pleased with that however many
:04:08. > :04:10.organisations, one in three police forces across the country have been
:04:11. > :04:16.given requires improvement in this assessment. We are one of those
:04:17. > :04:22.forces. We will be working hard to look at the detail in the report to
:04:23. > :04:24.see how we can further improve. A police statement expressed sympathy
:04:25. > :04:29.for Laura Beal but noted Devon and Cornwall plan to take on almost 100
:04:30. > :04:34.new officers and 50 crime investigators. Today's Inspectorate
:04:35. > :04:38.report will nonetheless be a concern for senior officers. Devon and
:04:39. > :04:42.Cornwall police's performance in the most important role of cutting crime
:04:43. > :04:44.and keeping people safe had deteriorated since last year it says
:04:45. > :04:48.and yet more budget cuts lie ahead. Alison Hernandez is the Police
:04:49. > :04:57.and Crime Commissioner Thank you for coming in, we hear
:04:58. > :05:02.weekly about the police, things they have done well and not so well, so
:05:03. > :05:06.let's focus on Laura Beal who said she was suffocated and frustrated
:05:07. > :05:09.and that is not how anyone should feel in their work. The public have
:05:10. > :05:13.every sympathy with policing at the moment and they have been
:05:14. > :05:17.struggling. The Police Federation did a threshold survey last year and
:05:18. > :05:21.I have spoken with them today. The issues around what we know, the
:05:22. > :05:25.stresses and strains on the front line come through in that survey.
:05:26. > :05:29.It's something I use through the budget planning process to support
:05:30. > :05:34.the Chief Constable around the 100 extra officers. 100 extra officers
:05:35. > :05:38.is a drop in the ocean when you think about how vast the south-west
:05:39. > :05:43.is. Laura talked about two officers covering the whole of mid Devon. We
:05:44. > :05:48.had a retired officer sympathising scene in West Devon they frequently
:05:49. > :05:55.had two officers covering 250 square miles. We do not want to talk about
:05:56. > :05:58.systems but the systems within policing our archaic. One of the
:05:59. > :06:00.things I'm looking to do is invest in the systems and I will be frank
:06:01. > :06:04.that a lot of response officers don't know the other teams on duty
:06:05. > :06:09.at the same time as them and they feel alone because they don't know.
:06:10. > :06:14.The control room now. The systems do not easily allow them to understand
:06:15. > :06:18.who is on duty. That has to change. It is simple stuff. The well-being
:06:19. > :06:21.of officers is a priority for the Chief Constable, I have had many
:06:22. > :06:25.discussions with him about well-being and without a doubt we
:06:26. > :06:28.have hard-working officers and I want the public to realise and I
:06:29. > :06:32.think most of them appreciate that they could not work any harder. We
:06:33. > :06:36.have systematic changes we need to make in policing and the local
:06:37. > :06:41.policing promise will be one of those things in the plan. You have
:06:42. > :06:46.set out your plans for the next year or so, a few years or so, but the
:06:47. > :06:49.HMI C said the erosion of neighbourhood policing cannot be
:06:50. > :06:56.allowed to happen. That's kind of what you are planning to do, you
:06:57. > :07:00.have taken PC SO's away from communities. Through last year on
:07:01. > :07:04.the consultation the public felt more disconnected from policing than
:07:05. > :07:07.they have ever felt before. One of the things I have focused on is
:07:08. > :07:14.better connecting policing and communities. By taking away the PC
:07:15. > :07:22.SO's? At the moment we have just considered our direction of travel.
:07:23. > :07:26.It's about trying to think about doing things differently so I have
:07:27. > :07:30.supported the Chief Constable in that and I am really clear that the
:07:31. > :07:33.local policing promise and better connecting policing and communities
:07:34. > :07:37.which is the fundamental core of the police and crime plan is what will
:07:38. > :07:43.help. I will be scrutinising the Chief Constable... THEY TALK OVER
:07:44. > :07:45.EACH OTHER How quickly can we see improvements? The local policing
:07:46. > :07:51.promise will be published at the end of March, the productivity plan by
:07:52. > :07:55.the end of March, there are big pieces of work being undertaken. We
:07:56. > :07:58.are supporting them but I am looking forward to scrutinising their
:07:59. > :08:00.efforts. We look forward to talking to you again Alison Hernandez, thank
:08:01. > :08:02.you. A Plymouth businessman has been

:09:08. > :09:11.nothing is going to happen immediately caught following this
:09:12. > :09:17.decision, this is the beginning of the application fees. It'll be a

:09:21. > :09:22.Jenny Walrond is at one of the hospitals affected,
:09:23. > :09:32.Honiton. This is becoming a familiar story?
:09:33. > :09:37.Absolutely. It's very sad news for people here but not entirely
:09:38. > :09:41.surprising that commissioners voted today to close their inpatient beds.
:09:42. > :09:45.Commissioners say people are better off cared for in their own homes but
:09:46. > :09:50.of course we know they need to save money. I am joined by two of the
:09:51. > :09:56.people involved in the campaign to save those beds, Gillian Pritchett,
:09:57. > :09:59.what is your reaction? I was gutted, we were excluded from the
:10:00. > :10:07.consultation options before the process we were told we could make
:10:08. > :10:10.proposals and be dead. There were letters, a lot of forms completed, I
:10:11. > :10:14.was not convinced they had given serious consideration to us as an
:10:15. > :10:17.option. Do you agree this new model of care of caring for people in
:10:18. > :10:23.their own homes will work and be better off for some people? This is
:10:24. > :10:30.an end of an era for this hospital. We have seen no evidence to support
:10:31. > :10:33.the new model of care. We do understand some people want to be
:10:34. > :10:37.cared for at home and that's the right place for them but there are
:10:38. > :10:41.many vulnerable people, people at the end of life, people with
:10:42. > :10:48.dementia that it is not suitable for them to be care at home. We are
:10:49. > :10:53.deeply, deeply disappointed. Briefly, what next? We will fight
:10:54. > :10:58.on, we will not give them, we have a strategic plan and we will start to
:10:59. > :11:03.implement that. No surrender. We also have news of another closure,
:11:04. > :11:09.we are told today staff at Holsworthy hospital were briefed
:11:10. > :11:13.that their inpatient beds would be closing, Northern Devon health care
:11:14. > :11:18.trust tell us it is unrelated to the current review of the hospital
:11:19. > :11:19.services in the county and it is a temporary closure for significant
:11:20. > :11:24.safety concerns. Thank you. A look now at some of the other
:11:25. > :11:27.stories across the south west. The number of students
:11:28. > :11:29.at Falmouth University will rise The move was approved

:12:01. > :12:05.at the stately home have finally been confirmed as coming
:12:06. > :12:08.from a fin whale. It was thought they'd
:12:09. > :12:10.were from a minke whale but a mixture of DNA analysis
:12:11. > :12:14.and archival research has identified More than a hundred incidents
:12:15. > :12:21.of fly-tipping are reported Official figures show its risen
:12:22. > :12:27.for the third year in a row. And it appears people
:12:28. > :12:31.from Plymouth are dumping their rubbish in Cornwall -
:12:32. > :12:33.evidence found in the waste has sparked an investigation
:12:34. > :12:35.which Cornwall Council hopes will end in prosecution
:12:36. > :12:49.and a heavy fine. Throughout the year thousands of
:12:50. > :12:54.people across the Tamar to seek out those hidden corners of Cornwall
:12:55. > :13:00.which promise natural beauty and tranquillity. Others are doing it to
:13:01. > :13:03.dump rubbish illegally. I think it's disgusting. Someone has taken the
:13:04. > :13:09.rubbish and just dump it in an area of outstanding natural beauty and
:13:10. > :13:18.its utter laziness. Dumped along the coast road is a spoil which holds
:13:19. > :13:21.hidden treasures. The sort of James which Cornwall Council investigators
:13:22. > :13:27.delight in finding. A letterhead, maybe a bill, certainly evidence
:13:28. > :13:32.revealing it has come from an address in Plymouth. I feel even
:13:33. > :13:39.sadder that someone has taken the time to drive out from Plymouth,
:13:40. > :13:43.find somewhere secluded and this was tipped during the night we believe.
:13:44. > :13:49.There are recycling centres in Plymouth as well as the one they
:13:50. > :13:56.virtually drove past in Saltash. The audacity of the act has sparked
:13:57. > :13:59.anger. It is appalling. They could go to a municipal tip or get rid of
:14:00. > :14:04.it in the proper way, I don't see why they have to come over the
:14:05. > :14:08.border and do it here. It makes me wonder if they have the facilities
:14:09. > :14:11.to get rid of it in Devon, to make that ever to come over the border
:14:12. > :14:15.into Cornwall to do it. People travel a long way to save a bit of
:14:16. > :14:19.money, that is why they are criminals, they are commercial, they
:14:20. > :14:21.are thieves, stealing from the public purse and every single
:14:22. > :14:27.council taxpayer because those things have to be cleared up. In a
:14:28. > :14:30.statement Cornwall Council says it is not only unsightly but costs the
:14:31. > :14:35.council thousands of pounds each year to clear up the mess. We will
:14:36. > :14:42.continue to respond, investigate and where evidence is found we will take
:14:43. > :14:45.appropriate enforcement action. Once cherished, now discarded by the
:14:46. > :14:46.roadside. There would have been no charge to take these toys to the
:14:47. > :14:49.tip. A commercial recycling waste centre
:14:50. > :14:51.faces demolition tonight after being severely
:14:52. > :14:55.damaged by fire. At its peak a hundred
:14:56. > :15:12.firefighters tackled the blaze All the ingredients needed for a
:15:13. > :15:14.devastating fire, paper, cardboard, plastic, each week hundreds of
:15:15. > :15:23.tonnes of business waste came to this recycling plant. Tucked away on
:15:24. > :15:28.one side, an electricity substation, one of three helping power the
:15:29. > :15:33.industrial estate. Little wonder the emergency services were not taking
:15:34. > :15:39.any chances. At its height it was approximately about 100
:15:40. > :15:43.firefighters, three hydraulic platforms, and support appliances.
:15:44. > :15:47.The alarm was raised just before 11 o'clock last night, the intense heat
:15:48. > :15:52.caused the steel panel building to collapse in on itself as it is
:15:53. > :15:56.designed to do. But it meant hotspots kept flaring up. It is well
:15:57. > :16:01.over 12 hours but there are still pockets of flames are popping up in
:16:02. > :16:05.and around the building. The area was blanketed in smoke but the
:16:06. > :16:11.owners of the plant, on-site for five years, said it did not deal
:16:12. > :16:17.hazardous waste. Only office type waste, we do not deal with hazardous
:16:18. > :16:23.waste here. Any hazardous waste goes to other places. But yes, General
:16:24. > :16:30.office recycling, paper, cardboard, plastics, whatever. The damage has
:16:31. > :16:35.been put out millions but nobody was hurt and the 90 or so staff will
:16:36. > :16:40.work from other sites. A 15 strong fleet of waste trucks was saved,
:16:41. > :16:46.this one had to be pulled free by a recovery truck with an
:16:47. > :16:47.uncompromising name. Another building in Exeter destroyed by
:16:48. > :16:50.fire. The Environment Agency says erosion
:16:51. > :16:52.at Dawlish Warren has worsened since it began its multi million
:16:53. > :16:55.pound scheme to improve coastal But it says the beach should return
:16:56. > :17:00.to its former glory by the end of the summer and be less vulnerable
:17:01. > :17:04.to rising sea levels and storms. Our Environment Correspondent
:17:05. > :17:20.Adrian Campbell reports Dawlish Warren is not looking at its
:17:21. > :17:24.best at the moment. In fact some local people say it has never looked
:17:25. > :17:27.worse. That's not surprising because the Environment Agency is only part
:17:28. > :17:32.way through a multi-million pound project to secure the long-term
:17:33. > :17:35.future of the area. The aim of the agency and its partners is to
:17:36. > :17:40.protect it from sea-level level rising and potentially splitting in
:17:41. > :17:44.two. Eileen has been keeping a close eye on progress. I wondered what
:17:45. > :17:51.they were doing, sandbags, stones, rocks. We always said if they moved
:17:52. > :17:58.the stones they would lose the Junes which they found they had done which
:17:59. > :18:01.is why we have sandbags up. They have been taking these baskets full
:18:02. > :18:09.of rocks and replacing them with bags full of sand. In the end they
:18:10. > :18:13.aim to reach the beast level. Whether Junes are at their most
:18:14. > :18:18.vulnerable and narrow the aim is to stabilise the sand with what experts
:18:19. > :18:22.College YouTube. It's about like a giant sausage fed deep into the sea
:18:23. > :18:27.facing edge of the Warren and inflated with a mix of sand and
:18:28. > :18:32.water. The water fades away to leave a concrete like structure. For now
:18:33. > :18:41.the Environment Agency are still persuading people it is doing the
:18:42. > :18:46.right thing. Other than extra sand? Recent storms, in recent years, more
:18:47. > :18:50.than a thousand cubic metres of sand have been lost in the last 18
:18:51. > :18:54.months. Sand levels dropping by a metre in all the last few weeks so
:18:55. > :18:59.at the moment visitors will see it at its worst. The white bags people
:19:00. > :19:02.see our temporary, they are coming out in the next couple of months as
:19:03. > :19:08.we remove the old stones and subsequently replace a large amount
:19:09. > :19:12.of sand. The Environment Agency says by some things should look much
:19:13. > :19:16.better at Dawlish Warren. It plans to import huge quantities of sand
:19:17. > :19:19.from just off shore to recharge the beach and then natural forces will
:19:20. > :19:22.be harnessed to help protect the sand dunes.

:20:26. > :20:30.children have dressed up to get in the mood for reading to celebrate
:20:31. > :20:36.world book day. But why do they read? I read at night when I am in
:20:37. > :20:40.bed and cannot sleep. When you first read a book you just read it and
:20:41. > :20:45.when you get to the end you feel you have an achievement. They are very
:20:46. > :20:50.exciting and I get stuck into them. If you finish a book then you feel
:20:51. > :20:54.like you want to do another because I like this book and it makes you
:20:55. > :20:59.want to read and read and read. We may think these youngsters are a
:21:00. > :21:02.techno generation but they are more retro, preparing to read books
:21:03. > :21:07.rather than from a computer or tablet. There has been research
:21:08. > :21:11.recently that children are moving away from tablets and re-engaging
:21:12. > :21:16.with a book particularly at bedtime when is thought the blue light from

:22:50. > :22:54.conditions, rain in the forecast as well. I think tomorrow it's a
:22:55. > :22:59.different day, sunshine today, a few isolated showers, most of us dry.
:23:00. > :23:03.Tomorrow rather cloudy, it will be a bit milder, there will be rain at
:23:04. > :23:07.times and some of it quite heavy. It will arrive overnight tonight and be
:23:08. > :23:11.with us for a good part of the day. This is why, this area of low
:23:12. > :23:15.pressure, weather fronts wrapped around it which means more rain as
:23:16. > :23:19.we move through the day. Perhaps drier conditions on Saturday
:23:20. > :23:24.although the risk of showers and more rain returning on Sunday as
:23:25. > :23:29.this weather front moves across the south-west of England. Also becoming
:23:30. > :23:33.windy on Sunday with the winds becoming north-westerly again.
:23:34. > :23:40.Drawing in slightly colder air, avail of cloud has arrived and
:23:41. > :23:43.thicker cloud approaching from the South which will produce more
:23:44. > :23:47.persistent rain. For a time dry and then here comes the wet weather,
:23:48. > :23:51.around midnight or just after we will get a bit of rain as it moves
:23:52. > :23:54.through, turning showery by morning and with all the cloud and breeze
:23:55. > :23:59.from the Southeast I don't think temperatures will fall much below 67
:24:00. > :24:04.degrees. Tomorrow we have a rather cloudy day, rather wet day, I of
:24:05. > :24:07.rain off and on throughout the morning, perhaps briefly at
:24:08. > :24:17.lunchtime holes in the cloud but not a great deal of that to look forward
:24:18. > :24:19.to, the rain returns to the afternoon. The breeze will be lively
:24:20. > :24:21.in the morning and ease in the afternoon. Some good news,
:24:22. > :24:29.temperature slightly higher than they have been despite the rain.
:24:30. > :24:39.This is the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. Cloud, breezy and
:24:40. > :24:54.outbreaks of rain. Time is of high water for the ports and harbours.
:24:55. > :25:00.For the surfers, most of the beach is likely to be a bit messy,
:25:01. > :25:05.particularly along the south coast. The north Coast some sheltered areas
:25:06. > :25:08.which could be usable but still quite big waves, between four and
:25:09. > :25:18.eight feet depending on which way the beach faces. The winds quite
:25:19. > :25:26.gusty, from the South South West, rain at times with moderate to good
:25:27. > :25:31.visibility. The outlook is for us to see showers on Saturday and Sunday
:25:32. > :25:36.and some of them also quite heavy. Not a lot of cheer in the forecast
:25:37. > :25:39.and notice the temperatures, we start at 11 on Friday but by Monday
:25:40. > :25:45.and Tuesday of next week back down to seven or eight so despite the
:25:46. > :25:49.fact we are into spring temperatures are not responding. Just a little
:25:50. > :25:52.bit of sunshine does help things. You have been seeing all these
:25:53. > :25:58.weather pictures and if you want to get involved in the programme there
