:01:38. > :01:43.of diminished responsibility. We'll hear from former Royal Marine
:01:44. > :01:47.Lord Burnett in a moment. First this report
:01:48. > :01:50.from Clinton Rogers. In Taunton, a Royal Marine's town,
:01:51. > :01:53.you don't have the power to find people flying the flag for Alexander
:01:54. > :02:00.Blackman. Well, that is better than it was,
:02:01. > :02:08.but I still feel that he should After all, he was fighting
:02:09. > :02:11.for his country and things Yet there are those who believe
:02:12. > :02:15.Alexander Blackman had to be held Well, it was right
:02:16. > :02:22.that he was prosecuted. That sort of action has
:02:23. > :02:24.to be investigated. Simon Hollington was
:02:25. > :02:26.a Royal Marine first 24 years, Today he told me Alexander Blackman
:02:27. > :02:30.had crossed the line of what was acceptable
:02:31. > :02:33.on the battlefield. I can understand how he did
:02:34. > :02:36.what he did, I don't We have to keep them,
:02:37. > :02:46.otherwise we are reduced to savages. What do you say though
:02:47. > :02:48.to the argument that what goes on on the battlefield should stay
:02:49. > :02:51.on the battlefield? If somebody breaks the law
:02:52. > :02:57.and it is the law, then they have Former Sergeant Blackman
:02:58. > :03:00.is currently in Erlestoke prison in Wiltshire having served more
:03:01. > :03:03.than three years of an eight-year Now, all dates back to September
:03:04. > :03:09.2011 when he was serving in Helmand Province,
:03:10. > :03:12.Afghanistan. When he shot dead
:03:13. > :03:16.a seriously injured Taliban His actions captured
:03:17. > :03:19.on helmet camera. But his prosecution
:03:20. > :03:33.prompted protests. This one on the streets
:03:34. > :03:35.of Westminster. And in Parliament today,
:03:36. > :03:37.the local MP welcomed And would the Prime Minister agree
:03:38. > :03:44.with me that within the correct legal framework, those
:03:45. > :03:46.who defend our peace, protect our will from evil,
:03:47. > :03:48.be treated with fairness Another MP, a former soldier,
:03:49. > :03:53.said the right outcome had It was always my view whilst
:03:54. > :04:00.Sergeant Blackman had behaved in the most despicable way,
:04:01. > :04:07.what he was guilty in the most despicable way, what he
:04:08. > :04:12.was guilty of was not murder. He was mentally ill
:04:13. > :04:14.when he did what he did. He had not been looked
:04:15. > :04:17.after by his chain of command. He had seen things that would have
:04:18. > :04:20.snapped the will and senses of anybody and what he did
:04:21. > :04:22.was awful, truly, truly awful, but it wasn't murder,
:04:23. > :04:24.it was manslaughter. So, murder has now formally
:04:25. > :04:26.become manslaughter, but the debate over the rights
:04:27. > :04:29.and wrongs of the shooting, and the prosecution which followed
:04:30. > :04:41.it, haven't gone away. With me now is Liberal Democrat peer
:04:42. > :04:46.Lord Bernat who is a former Royal Marine and was also an MP in Devon.
:04:47. > :04:53.What did you make of the ruling? I was pleased to see it and I pay
:04:54. > :04:57.tribute to Sergeant Blackman who has behaved with great dignity and they
:04:58. > :05:00.paid tribute to his wife who has been unbelievably loyal and stood by
:05:01. > :05:05.him and she has been a wonderful lady. We just heard some of the
:05:06. > :05:07.footage of the incident itself. As a former Royal Marine what did you
:05:08. > :05:13.make of what Sergeant Blackman did at the time? I had the advantage of
:05:14. > :05:19.having spoken to him about it. I visited him in prison nearly two
:05:20. > :05:23.years ago and he believed he shot a dead man against the Geneva
:05:24. > :05:30.Convention, but not murder. The panel in the court-martial find
:05:31. > :05:34.other ways. -- found otherwise. If the Taliban insurgent was alive, he
:05:35. > :05:39.did the wrong thing. Nevertheless, the court has today held that such
:05:40. > :05:49.were the stresses and pressures on him and the other members at the
:05:50. > :05:55.time, the public don't really understand quite what those
:05:56. > :06:00.pressures are. Continuous mortal danger. Continuous wondering whether
:06:01. > :06:05.your next step, you are going to blow up with an IED. This has led to
:06:06. > :06:09.diminished responsibility. We have had a comment on our Facebook page
:06:10. > :06:14.tonight from a viewer who says if it was diminished responsibility, he
:06:15. > :06:18.was very clear in knowing he was doing wrong. He said in the footage,
:06:19. > :06:22.I am breaking the Geneva Convention. What do you say to the viewer
:06:23. > :06:29.tonight who says he clearly knew what he was doing? Because first of
:06:30. > :06:35.all, as I said I'd start, a new that if he was shooting a dead man, what
:06:36. > :06:41.he thought, what he told me in prison when I visited him, he was
:06:42. > :06:44.shooting a dead man, that is against the Geneva Convention. Nevertheless
:06:45. > :06:47.the court held otherwise. So how should he had been dealt with
:06:48. > :06:51.without breach? If your think the murder conviction which clearly was
:06:52. > :06:55.overturned was wrong, how should he have been dealt with? What should
:06:56. > :07:03.have happened was that when the panel came to its opinion, 5-2,
:07:04. > :07:10.which is not sufficient to convict, not take sufficient racial the
:07:11. > :07:16.conflict in a civil criminal case, -- ratio. He should have been
:07:17. > :07:22.treated on the basis that an appeal after that hearing the whole
:07:23. > :07:27.business of his diminished responsibility came into play,
:07:28. > :07:30.whether he killed a dead man or a barely alive man but Mike you want
:07:31. > :07:35.the whole way in which military justice is dealt with to be
:07:36. > :07:39.reviewed? I think so yes. It should be a trial, the panel should have
:07:40. > :07:42.been his peers. That is the ethos of court-martial is. Only two of the
:07:43. > :07:48.seven members of the panel had actually served in Afghanistan and
:07:49. > :07:51.knew the hell that was inflicted on our people. We must leave it there.
:07:52. > :07:53.Lord Burnett, thank you very much. And there is a special
:07:54. > :07:55.edition of Panorama tonight after the Spotlight
:07:56. > :08:01.late news and weather. Marine A: The Inside Story
:08:02. > :08:09.is tonight at 10:50pm on BBC One. The temporary closure in bed at
:08:10. > :08:14.Bosworth Nady Hospital in Devon could be permanent and a public
:08:15. > :08:17.meeting beginning an telling the tapenade. Campaigners are due to be
:08:18. > :08:21.shown a video made by patient Penny Smith who has terminal cancer. Penny
:08:22. > :08:49.has pleaded to be allowed to see out her days in her local hospital.
:08:50. > :08:58.Our Health Correspondent Jenny Wilder and is in Holsworthy tonight
:08:59. > :09:02.for us. The news two weeks ago that this hospital was likely to close
:09:03. > :09:04.temporarily has shocked and angered many local people tonight. But they
:09:05. > :09:09.get the opportunity to express those feelings to the trust that runs it.
:09:10. > :09:11.Earlier the Chief Executive Alison Dimond told me they are looking at
:09:12. > :09:11.all options. We are open to any suggestions
:09:12. > :09:14.that our staff are making and we have looked to work
:09:15. > :09:19.with other local organisations to see whether any of these
:09:20. > :09:21.things can be resolved, but it actually is quite
:09:22. > :09:24.a difficult thing for us to do. We will continue to work
:09:25. > :09:37.with people though. John Hutchings is the merit of
:09:38. > :09:42.Holsworthy. Feelings really running high with this issue. Definitely.
:09:43. > :09:45.People are very passionate about our committee hospital and one of the
:09:46. > :09:48.big problems is our geography, we are miles away from anywhere, one of
:09:49. > :09:54.the furthest distance is in Devon for any regard. Do you think they
:09:55. > :09:57.will reopen the hospital say that they had never opened after the
:09:58. > :10:04.break closure. We hope we can persuade them not to. We hope to go
:10:05. > :10:07.against the three major point was in hospital. The meeting starts in just
:10:08. > :10:08.a few minutes. Feelings running high. Police are already there so it
:10:09. > :10:15.is likely to be a lively one. Investigations are continuing

:10:18. > :10:19.believe was caused by Smoke was seen coming from houses
:10:20. > :10:23.at St Day near Redruth at the same time as numerous electrical faults
:10:24. > :10:33.were reported in nearby properties. The Nightcrawler by rescue service
:10:34. > :10:41.has told the BBC the most likely cause is electrical. David 's

:10:48. > :10:52.no one was injured but you wouldn't call them lucky when this is the
:10:53. > :10:59.state of their home. Upstairs it is worse. Far worse. Fire burned
:11:00. > :11:04.through in next door and through the roof. The children's destroyed.
:11:05. > :11:09.Katie finds some wet and charred pictures of her daughter. I found
:11:10. > :11:21.those pictures of Charlie from quite a while ago and it is just gutting.

:11:28. > :11:31.there was number three there was smoke coming out of the roof. A
:11:32. > :11:36.neighbour called the Fire Service and that was minutes after she had
:11:37. > :11:40.reported a power cut. Other neighbours say they saw smoke and
:11:41. > :11:43.sparks coming from a nearby electrical transformer. Yet more
:11:44. > :11:47.neighbours claim home electronics had burnt out at around the same
:11:48. > :11:51.time. The electric goes off, sparking, the satellite box is going
:11:52. > :11:58.up. Sparking off on cushions. Ten minutes later the ruthless smoking.
:11:59. > :12:02.Within 20 minutes two rubes are on fire with flames coming out of both
:12:03. > :12:05.of them. Western Power distribution say no one is available for
:12:06. > :12:08.interview but a spokesman has confirmed that there was a problem
:12:09. > :12:13.with the transformer that was here which is why they have replaced it
:12:14. > :12:17.with that new one. Work to repair these homes is due to last at least
:12:18. > :12:22.six months. The homeless families are still trying to find temporary
:12:23. > :12:25.cut accommodation to rent. The children's schools have started a
:12:26. > :12:27.collection to help replace their room and toys. But family photos are

:12:43. > :12:52.is being harnessed to try to cut the number of people
:12:53. > :12:57.who accidentally drown There were more deaths
:12:58. > :13:03.from water-related incidents in Devon than in any other county
:13:04. > :13:05.in England in 2015. 321 people died in the UK,
:13:06. > :13:09.with 231 of them in England. By county, Devon had 19,
:13:10. > :13:11.Cornwall had ten, Dorset Across the UK, most
:13:12. > :13:17.of the deaths were men. Now a virtual reality film
:13:18. > :13:20.is being made to show the risks and Clare Woodling has been
:13:21. > :13:26.to find out more. People are taking chances,
:13:27. > :13:35.and that's why more drown in Devon Today we're shooting
:13:36. > :13:40.a virtual-reality on the issues of drink-drowning,
:13:41. > :13:45.peer pressure and cold-water shock. This water rescue is
:13:46. > :13:49.an exercise done with actors. It will make a virtual-reality film
:13:50. > :13:54.warning people about the risks. The Fire Service want it to save
:13:55. > :13:59.lives, particularly young ones. Why is it the service is not
:14:00. > :14:01.handing out leaflets So, for me, the issue with having
:14:02. > :14:05.leaflets is that actually you can hand them out but people may not
:14:06. > :14:08.necessarily read them, they may just get thrown
:14:09. > :14:11.on the side, put in a pocket, whereas with this technology we're
:14:12. > :14:14.engaging with people, we're sparking a conversation,
:14:15. > :14:17.we're being able to show them just how dangerous this water is visually
:14:18. > :14:19.through the virtual-reality goggles and being able to go
:14:20. > :14:21.into schools and colleges and starting that debate,

:15:42. > :15:43.of avoiding relegation Exeter City put the recent losses
:15:44. > :15:51.to Hartlepool and Accrington behind them with a comprehensive win
:15:52. > :15:55.at home to Cheltenham. They went in front
:15:56. > :15:57.on the stroke of half-time. David Whelan was brought down
:15:58. > :15:59.in the penalty area by Cheltenham And then it was down
:16:00. > :16:06.to Reuben Reid to do the rest. The striker then doubled his tally
:16:07. > :16:10.for the evening, combining with Jake Taylor on the right-hand
:16:11. > :16:13.side before showing a quick turn of pace and rifling the ball
:16:14. > :16:18.into the back of the net. Double figures now for
:16:19. > :16:21.Reuben Reid this season. Taylor then turned from creator to
:16:22. > :16:26.finish with this fine solo effort. It sealed the points
:16:27. > :16:28.for the Grecians and extends their gap to eighth in the table
:16:29. > :16:33.to three points. Plymouth Argyle picked up a very
:16:34. > :16:36.useful point on the road The hosts took the lead
:16:37. > :16:41.through Myles Weston's But super sub Nathan Blissett,
:16:42. > :16:47.on from the bench, rose highest to head in his first Pilgrims goal,

:22:15. > :22:18.might put people off where people think you wear a lab coat and that
:22:19. > :22:22.is not a bad thing. A little genetic genius helped the pupils work out
:22:23. > :22:26.which culprit had spiked the bread. A taste of science at may well lead
:22:27. > :22:30.to more successful experiments in future.
:22:31. > :22:33.And we're hoping there will be no spiking of baked goods next week,
:22:34. > :22:38.when BBC Radio Devon and Cornwall, Spotlight, Inside Out
:22:39. > :22:41.and the Sunday Politics will be competing in their very
:22:42. > :22:46.They'll be pitting their best Victoria sponges against one another
:22:47. > :22:51.And you'll be able to see how they get on and how much they raise
:22:52. > :23:07.In the meantime, it has been so mild, hasn't it? It has been nice.
:23:08. > :23:15.Other places have had the crowds. It is going to change, because it turns
:23:16. > :23:20.unsettled as we head into the week ahead. More cloud and more breeze
:23:21. > :23:24.developing. In the still air we have had the leader two or three days it
:23:25. > :23:28.is about to change but we have had some lovely sunshine in place of.
:23:29. > :23:32.This this was the sunset in Somerset. The beautiful end to the
:23:33. > :23:38.day here. Some sunshine coming in across other parts of Somerset. This
:23:39. > :23:41.is hovered in the sunshine with just patchy cloud. The change will happen
:23:42. > :23:47.through the day tomorrow. Generally for all of us rather a cloudy day
:23:48. > :23:51.tomorrow. The risk of drizzle as well as hill fog. This weather front
:23:52. > :23:57.is a bit closer. It also marks the boundary between the very mild air
:23:58. > :24:01.and slightly colder conditions. Once that moves across southern Britain
:24:02. > :24:06.temperatures will come down and then it opens the door to several weather
:24:07. > :24:09.fronts queueing up to affect us and that will arrive at the weekend so
:24:10. > :24:15.the weekend looks like it could be quite windy and at times also quite
:24:16. > :24:19.wet for Saturday and Sunday. Risk winds. Perhaps Sunday afternoon in a
:24:20. > :24:25.bit brighter with some sunshine but also some sharp showers. You can see
:24:26. > :24:29.how we have had a fair cover of cloud today in places but others
:24:30. > :24:34.have had the glorious sunshine. It is mainly be the more eastern parts
:24:35. > :24:38.of Devon in the Dorset and Somerset where we have seen likely clear
:24:39. > :24:43.skies to date allowing the sunshine to come through allowing
:24:44. > :24:46.temperatures to get up quite high. He can see where Cornwall and west
:24:47. > :24:51.and south Devon have been rather cloudy. Parts of North Devon,
:24:52. > :24:54.Somerset and the North Dorset have had glorious sunshine. Overnight
:24:55. > :24:59.tonight the holes were filling with mist and low cloud and it will be
:25:00. > :25:04.very similar to what it was last night. A few spits of drizzle but
:25:05. > :25:08.possible in the far west and temperatures no lower than between
:25:09. > :25:15.six and nine. Tonight the cloud figure capable of producing drizzle
:25:16. > :25:22.and few holes in that cloud so we returned to other great day tomorrow
:25:23. > :25:29.stores. Temperatures not as high as they have been. Ten or 11 the top
:25:30. > :25:34.temperatures. Here is the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. For much of
:25:35. > :25:37.the date we have mild there. Bits of drizzle in the wind. Still feeling
:25:38. > :25:52.quite mild but the will feel cooler into credit. Good surf today, bigger
:25:53. > :25:58.than predicted. Not quite so high waves tomorrow but still some usable
:25:59. > :26:01.served. As the breeze comes on the waves will become slightly choppy
:26:02. > :26:09.especially towards the end of the afternoon. Westerly 3-4, fearing
:26:10. > :26:13.north-westerly four. Occasional drizzle with moderate occasionally
:26:14. > :26:17.poor visibility. Friday isn't too bad to start with. We might end up
:26:18. > :26:20.with a bright start to Friday. Brief sunshine even through the morning
:26:21. > :26:25.but then clouding over with patchy rain turning up. But rain keeps on
:26:26. > :26:31.coming through the weekend. Generally quite cloudy weekend but
:26:32. > :26:35.also quite windy at times. Thank you. And our News at 10:30pm an
:26:36. > :26:39.update on that meeting which is about to get underway about
:26:40. > :27:05.Holsworthy hospital but from all of us, good night.
