Hello. so it's goodbye from me -

Tonight on Spotlight the threat from cyber crime -

We'll investigate how young hackers are being persuaded

to put their skills to good use to help protect us.

One 16-year-old tells us how he's now using his knowledge to expose

We'll also tonight be looking at the growth of new communities

So called 'garden villages' will soon be sprouting

but at what cost to the current infrastructure and environment?

A newly merged GP practice caring for more than sixty thousand people

Ten years after the Torrey Canyon, you could remember coming home from

a day on he beach and having to scrape the tar off your feet.

of one of the world's worst pollution incidents.

The UK's leading law enforcement agency is targeting young people

who are at risk of falling into cyber crime as cases emerge

in the South West of teenagers who are developing skills to hack

The National Crime Agency says those carrying out the attacks are getting

younger as crime moves off the street and online.

Many try to break in to systems for fun but don't realise

There are now moves to harness the knowledge young people have

gained so they can be used to help protect companies.

Harriet Bradshaw has this exclusive report.

Searching a neighbourhood for weaknesses - online

But breaking into web-sites and computer systems

can be done on a global scale from the comfort of a living room.

And now the experts in how to do it are

But one 16-year-old from the South West is now using his skills

I did not actually steal any people's

data, like addresses or credit cards or anything, I did it to raise

awareness that the security isn't as good as these people think.

I just wanted to point it out that there's

a 16-year-old in a bedroom that can hack your whole business and there's

I dare say I'm not the only parent that doesn't understand

it and doesn't get what these young people,

the skills and talent they

have, I think there is a lot of information out there about

It is often a tactic to take away their technology or their

phones or their computers, I don't think that's the answer.

Because that may just drive them more

The National Crime Agency said some young hackers are attracted

to the kudos they get from crime, so one Plymouth-based company is

campaigning to keep young people on the right side of the law by

Their massive ability is not always recognised, unless you're

around professionals and what we are trying to say is,

come and interact with us as professionals in the

industry, because we can give you that high-five, not the

Because we will show you that these skills can be

Cybercrime is becoming harder and harder to

fight, but it's hoped tapping into the talents of teenagers might

keep them out of trouble and the rest of us safe.

Well Cyber Security Challenge UK encourages young people

to use their computer skills in a positive way.

Nigel Harrison from the organisation join us now.

What methods do you use to help persuade people too put their skills

to good use? We have been running for the last seven years now,

nationwide competitions and regional competitions to find talented young

people ready to join the profession and the competition format is the

main means. Online competition and those are then who are the best of

those on the online competitions come forward to our face to face

competitions and indeed then we run an annual national final. So that's

open to young people and career changers and our last final in

November attracted the youngest conten Tant was 16 and the toldest

56. So a great of people. In addition, we run quite an extensive

programme of reaching out to schools and universities to offer them

competitions, careers advice and those sorts of things. Indeed, we

have just launched a new qualification, an extended project

qualification, targeted at 16 to 18-year-olds to help them get those

vital extra points towards getting university places. How much demand

is there for cyber security experts, what sot of career can it provide?

Kit provide a luke -- it can provide a lucrative and interesting career.

It is a diverse profession. There is a lot of people who have the

impression that it's all deeply technical and it is not. We have to

get people who understand human psychology, we have to get people

who understand the legal implications and such like. So the

broad spectrum of skill sets that are required. The latest figures,

these are back end of last year, were that globally, there would be

several million short fall in the profession by the early 2020s. So

there is a huge demand for new talent. And currently we have got

about 9,500 people of all ages registered as contestants on our

platform. A massive challenge. We are going to have to leave it there,

but thank you very much. More than a decade after the plan

was first hatched, a new village in mid-Cornwall has finally been

given outline approval The settlement just north

of St Austell is officially designated by the Government as one

of its "garden village" schemes. Today it successfully

cleared its biggest hurdle. Other similar schemes

are coming down the pipeline Our business correspondent Neil

Gallacher reports from Clay Country. It has been home to China clay

workings, tonight a square mile just north of St Austell is set

to become home to homes. 1,500 are them are due to be

built here and shops, health facilities and a school

and employment space. There are clues everywhere that the

land belongs to the clay giant Imrerys, which is one

of the partners in the development company behind this

seem and they have been looking pretty certain

to get this outline planning consent

at least since January, when the Government said this could be

one of garden villages A garden village - supposed to mean

a location that makes environmental sense and a good

proportion of affordable housing. How many of these homes

will be affordable? So 450 homes will be classified

as affordable homes. And we have said we would

like to offer self-build to people who want to build their own

homes or local builders who want to build three or four homes

should be part of scheme. We found a mixed

reaction in the area. Used to work in the old clay

works, but the thing is I suppose people

need places to live and they have got to build

it I think it could be

good for us, yeah. I don't think there is

enough facilities for those that are here now, yet they're

introducing or have passed more planning for additional homes and

houses and where are the additional What about the pressures on existing

local facilities? What we have looked

at is the impact of the development and we have been doing

this for about ten years, so we have done a lot of analysis, it is clear

there are things that need to be put So what we have done

in our plan is make sure we have taken into account

things like we do need a school, we need a health care facility,

we need a community centre. We need to upgrade

the sewage system. happen. Similar developments like

this one look likely to happen elsewhere in due course,

a garden town of 10,000 homes on the edge of Taunton

and a guaranteed village This development, being smaller,

may be an early test of garden villages

for Britain as a whole. Now a brief roundup of other stories

making the news in the South West. A man's been jailed for four

years after a woman died Sabrina Bellman died on Boxing Day

2015 when the car she was in had Thirty one year old Daniel Smith

was found guilty of several charges, including causing death

by dangerous driving. A man has pleaded not guilty

to possessing an explosive substance with intent,

after a device was found on a tube Counter-terror police carried out

searches at a property Damon Smith appeared

via videolink at the Old Bailey. His trial is provisionally

set for the 24th April. Torbay is to become one of the first

authorities in the country to run its own lottery

to support local causes. Tickets will cost a pound,

sixty pence will go towards charity and community projects

in the borough. There'll be a jackpot

prize of ?25,000 and none of the money will go to Torbay

Council. The first draw is expected to take

place at the end of May. The days of the small local GP

practice appear to be numbered. One such practice in Plymouth closes

it doors tomorrow despite a local The closure comes as two larger

practices announce they're merging to become the largest in the South

west with more than 60 The super practice is around 8 times

bigger than average and will treat more than 1 in 5 people

in Plymouth and Ivybridge. Most patients will still go

to the same surgery as before but it's hoped there will be

a shorter wait for routine appointments and more services

on offer as our Health correspondent There's a national shortage

of GPs, but demand for appointments has risen by more

than 15% in recent years. One solution is for bigger

practices, such as the merger between Oaks Health

and Beacon Medical Group, which operates surgeries

in Plymouth and Ivybridge. It's hoped paramedics,

prescribing nurses and pharmacists can spread the workload

and bring security. I think it's a way of building

a sustainable future for general practice and

I think we all need GPs, myself included,

and I think we need to find a sustainable

way of working that means the GP isn't the person that

does everything. The new superpractice will have more

than 60,000 patients. But is promising there will still be

a familiar atmosphere and We're very much keen

to keep a local feel and respond to the needs

of our community here, so, although we will be part of Beacon,

we have got a different patient population here,

so it may be that things that work well here don't

work so well in other places and things that work

there don't work so well here. And increasingly this

is how our GP practices are likely to look, as a means

of coping with the difficulty in recruiting doctors

at a time when demand for Dr Richard Ayres knows

the problem facing A campaign by him and his

patients failed to stop his Cumberland Surgery from being

closed at the end of this week. But he believes smaller practices do

have a future in they work together. Coming to a small practice where

there's not very many doctors, where we stay where patients stay as well

and we get to know each other and share life's journey a bit together,

that to me is the essence of Dr Ayres's old surgery may be

closing, but hundreds of his patients haven't registered

with a new doctor and will be automatically allocated a new GP

in another part of the city. A one million pound restoration

of a historic building in the centre The upgrading of the Georgian

Library Roof and other work on the Devon and Exeter Institution

will help to protect it's collection of rare

books and newspapers - some dating back

to the 16th century. As Hamish Marshall reports,

the old roof was so heavy it was in danger of bringing

the building down. As good as new, but still true

to its original design. It's taken five years,

but now the library of the Institution, which has an important

collection of local books, can have daylight again -

the way those who created it two They were designed to let

the natural light into the library and 200 years ago they depended

on natural light more

than anything else. So it's really put us back

on a very solid footing. This was the scene last

summer when we saw the project - funded by Historic England

and the Heritage Lottery Fund - But now this is no

longer a building site. It was quite daunting

looking at the work that was needed to do, with

the unknown aspects of this job. Again with the people

you had, it does This crane wasn't here last summer,

it's part of demolition of the In fact, builders and staff

stood by here on the Institution's roof during the fire

last autumn, in case it spread. Well, the roof is now

covered with this copper Before this was lead, which was

actually so heavy the building was actually moving and here

we have got a mixture of the the old and the

new. These are the slates that came off

when the work began. There wasn't quite

enough to cover the building at the end,

so some new ones have been And inside, a growing number

of students like Oscar are Here it has other people

doing other things. It has not just students working

on essays, it's sort of a more Times may have changed,

but now we have a new chapter in the battle to protect

and preserve this rare collection of books,

charting the South West Next on Spotlight a first glimpse

inside one of the South West's main tourist attractions

after its refurbishment. And later - seen on TV for the first

time, how one family captured on film the horror

of the Torrey Canyon disaster. And sculpting in sand -

we'll reveal the finished works After an eighteen month closure,

the refurbished Tate St Ives The new extension is still under

construction and won't open until the Autumn, but the existing

building is hosting a brand new exhibition

and Spotlight's Lucie Fisher has So this is Jessica Warboy's sea

paintings and whenever she is commissioned by art galleries

or museums to create a work, she goes to the nearest sea, bit of sea

or ocean, to get the natural She throws them in the sea

and she actually makes the sea a participant in the work,

the sea makes the work. Absolutely and this is a mix

of really ceramic art by young contemporary artists,

we also have a lot of the potters like Jill Crowley here with some

of her absolutely amazing and crazy

if I may say teapot. You have got Denise Wren,

all she did was elephants. And in here what we have

got is the Californian Clay Revolution from

the 1950s and '60s. This work is in part a response

to the way in which these other artists, these west

coast ceramacists work, response - saying people

like Barbera Hepworth is as present in my work as much

as one of these other Mark Osterfield told me

what a relief it is to finally be opening

This is our core purpose and this is the first step.

So we will be open over the summer, we will have this excellent

show for all our visitors and the local community in the summer.

But come the autumn, we will be launching

the new Tate St Ives and

And that step change is well under way outside.

On the right we have the new loading bay, which is of a

scale that means we can bring in huge artworks to Cornwall,

And we've got a really good lift in order to

bring them into the gallery and to lower them down

and to the left you can just see the edge of the roofscape above our

So we have a 500 square metre gallery

space, which is the equivalent of all or other gallery spaces

And this is the new activity room for families.

Come tomorrow it will be a "clayground"

After 18 months of closure, everybody here is full of

excitement for the new opening tomorrow.

Now you may remember a couple of weeks ago we covered the 50th

anniversary of the day the Torrey Canyon supertanker ran

aground on rocks between Lands End and the Isles of Scilly.

Well today marks the day the ship - which polluted much of the Cornish

coast causing Britain's biggest ever oil spill -

A former fireman has now come forward with some previously unseen

footage that was recorded on his family's cine camera

and Eleanor Parkinson has been to meet him.

This isn't an ordinary film, it is a record of a piece of history. In

1967 the supertanker Torrey Canyon spills her cargo of oil and locals

can smell it reaching the shore. The home video was shot by Ray Ireland.

I wint out in the garden and I could smell it. I said, the oil's coming

in. That is the beach. You can see it is just one mass of tar. It is

absolutely, like... Melted chocolate. Hundreds of thousands of

tonnes of detergent is brought in to try and break up the oil. In some

locations it is brought by helicopter. This is the early stages

of spraying, they had no automatic pumps. They had a manual pump. Until

things progressed and they increased and got some better equipment.

Despite their best efforts the detergent didn't work and it wasn't

good for those handling it. I know one fire man, after he said, I had

to leave the service, he showed his hands and they were bad. As the days

passed it was clear the impact on wildlife was huge. Look at that

bird. Poor thing can't move, can it? It was all the flying birds that go

into the water and that then. It was quite a mess. There was only one

place for them - bye-bye. A decision was made to bomb the tanker and she

sank. But the coastline took years to recover. Even ten years after the

Torrey Canyon, you could remember coming home from a day on the beach

and having to sit and scrape the tar off your feet with a lollipop stick.

The memories are still as strong as the day of the disaster.

And if you want to hear more about the Torrey Canyon disaster,

there's a documentary currently available on the BBC Radio iplayer

called "Torrey Canyon and the Toxic Tides".

I can remember scraping tar off my feet as well.

Now, if you've ever been on the beach and tried to impress

the family by making something out of sand, you'll know

So prepare to be completely blown away by the pros!

Artists at an attraction in Dorset have even been painting their sand

The team in Weymouth is led by Mark Anderson whose family

The idea of using colour was a tribute to my grandfather who

started painting with the sand. That was a first. He started with Kong

and nearly all of them were made. We are doing the tiger that. Was one of

his first. And then Kong as well. We are doing that and that will be

coloured throughout the season. Because it is not supporting

anything, we wet it down, pack it into place and carve it out using

typically a trowel of some sort and then I use a couple of different

types of brush to get the effect of an animal, and the fur. A bit of a

change this year. We have been asked many times when, if the people can

see the sculptors working. We have changed a few from last year and we

are going to keep a couple of the most popular ones and change a

through and hopefully there is always somebody here working. So we

are under a roof and nothing gets washed away. No issues with the

weather. Hopefully. The British weather. The good old British

weather. Incredible. The detail was incredible. And the good old British

weather, but it has been warm today. It has been lovely Daid. Ly --

today. We have had some really good temperatures, certainly the warmest

day of the year so far. St Helier was top at 19 degrees. Well above

the average for the time of year. Where we have had the cloud and rain

its around 12 degrees. This stripe of blue, the rain, has been trouble

and it has been back and forth across Cornwall. More to come

tonight. And ahead of it some breaks in the cloud, but some showers. Not

a bad evening for some of us. The forecast tomorrow is not quite so

warm A fresher feel to the day. Some sunshine, but also some showers. If

anything more persistent rain later in the day. We have a weather front

that will move through steadily and by lunch tooichl tomorrow it is

across the central part of Britain. We have two systems. This will bring

more rain tomorrow night. But it should be going through by the time

we get into the start of weekend. Plenty of showers on Saturday. Some

hail and thunder. And then high pressure comes back for Sunday. So

of two days, Sunday is the better day. That is the picture that we

have had tonight with that rain coming and going. It will move

across us. But before that we have had some pleasant late sunshine.

This was this afternoon in Okehampton. We have had some warmth

from the sun and it has been a pleasant day. There is the risk of

some showers tonight. But many of us getting away with a dry start to the

night. But rain will come in fairly swiftly through the night and be

across us by the morning. These pictures filmed by our cameraman,

Alex. Thank you for those. Tonight the cloud will produce some rain and

continue eastwards. It is mild night at ten or 11 degrees. Some rain in

the morning, but moving quickly and the skies will clear, the sun will

come out. Before that line of more persistent rain returns late in the

day. So a reasonable day. Not a warm as today. 14 the maximum

temperature. The Isles of Scilly a bright first half of the day and

then it will cloud over. There is the times of high water. Plymouth is

9.02. Some reasonable waves for the surfers.

Some sharp showers on Saturday. Sunday is a fine day. Monday also

fine and dry. Just a bit more cloud. Have a good evening. Thank you,

David. We have put that film of Torrey Canyon on our Facebook page

and we will be back at 6.30 tomorrow. Good night.
