The words today of the Assistant for the news where you are. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
It's over the force's failure to adopt a scheme that was started | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
within its own area to help children exposed | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
In the past year Operation Encompass has been adopted by 19 other police | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
forces across the UK, as well as being rolled | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Devon and Cornwall Police say a new computer system five years ago | :00:34. | :00:51. | |
I don't remember anything for three days. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
I had lumps at the back of my head like I'd never felt or seen. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Blood in my hair, on my ear, it was just awful. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Out of all of that that is the worst part. | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
Hard for a parent and more importantly really hard for the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
This victim's son was one of the first in the UK to have the | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
It's a simple scheme where if the police attend a case | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
of domestic violence involving children the | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
school is contacted by nine the next day and can give that child support. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
Today's presentation by the charity to high level members of the Devon | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
and Cornwall force had a commitment from them | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
to relaunch the scheme in | :01:34. | :01:34. | |
Professional embarrassment is a difficult thing | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
to admit sometimes because we all want to be seen as professionals | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
On this issue we haven't been on top of our | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Fixing that is really important for us but it's not | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
important because I need to stand in front of teachers and hold my head | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
up high, it's important because I need to look | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
at communities and know that children's welfare is being | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
promoted through what we are doing, not that | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
it's being neglected through | :02:01. | :02:01. | |
Five years ago Devon and Cornwall police joined | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
forces with all the Plymouth headteachers. | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
But when a new computer system was brought in the | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
This journalist has covered plenty of | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
There wasn't the will at the top table. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
There were people who thought it was not a bad | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
idea but I think there were people who just dismissed it. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
And when the computer glitches came in, because | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
effectively Devon and Cornwall Police bought a duff computer system | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
that didn't do what it was promised to do, they were able to lean back | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
and say that was the reason it has fallen apart. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Obviously we are sad that it hasn't happened earlier than | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
this but happening now is better than it not happening at all. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
And we really are looking forward to working with the police in Cornwall | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
to get it rolled out here as soon as we can in the new autumn term. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
While 19 other police forces are already | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
part of Operation Encompass, Devon and Cornwall's Chief Constable says | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
he is committed to adopting the scheme. | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
Road and rail services in Plymouth were brought to a standstill in this | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
evening's rush hour after a 30-tonne juggernaut got stuck | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
It's not the first time the bridge has been hit by a truck | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
and as our reporter Scott Bingham explains, there are now calls | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
for improvements to signs and markings to give | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
Free at last after a three hour operation to extract it. | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
The articulated lorry was finally hauled | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
from the bridge outside Plymouth's main railway station just after 7.15 | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Unfortunately the truck at 16 foot has gone under the | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
Clearly there is a six inch difference. | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
It has got part of the way under and then | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
There was widespread disruption as roads and railways were closed. | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
Network Rail apologised for any delays and alternative transport was | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
laid on to get these Cornwall-bound passengers home. | :04:11. | :04:11. | |
They said there has been a vehicle stuck on the bridge again. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
There was a similar incident a couple of weeks | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
ago on the 10.45 train, which meant I was not back until | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
It's been a very long day for me today at work. | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
But hopefully I'll get the next taxi, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
The lines were reopened after engineers had | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Tonight it was declared structurally sound. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
There is a warning sign on the bridge up | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
there and there is another one on the approach to this road. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
But police have told me today they plan | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
to speak to the council about improving the signage and giving | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
Police say the driver of the lorry has been | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
There are calls tonight for the consultation on a blueprint | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
for future housing needs to be extended because people have | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
struggled to use the website to express their views. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Some residents in Modbury fear their concerns won't be heard | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Where new homes should be built will never be without controversy | :05:12. | :05:25. | |
Concerns have been raised about the difficulty of submitting | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
comments about developments in Plymouth and South Devon | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
These people in Modbury say it is time-consuming and unnecessarily | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
complex to enter views to the council's consultation. | :05:37. | :05:37. | |
The consultation as it stands now is not fit for purpose | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
We have got increasing numbers of reports coming | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
saying they are extremely frustrated and incensed that they cannot | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
To submit comments to the online portal you need | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
It is asking for my name, e-mail address, username, password, | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
But residents say this is not the difficult part. | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
That is posed by the next stage in the process when they start | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Once you have registered then you can log on and start | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
Once you have saved it in draft form you can't go back to revisit it, | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
you cannot find where you have drafted it. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
You are either back to square one, or giving up. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
We are concerned that people will be giving up | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
but we need their views to be heard because they all have strong views. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Plymouth City, South Hams District and West Devon borough council told | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
They want to reassure people they can also e-mail their views | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
or send in a letter by the deadline tomorrow. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Any late comments will still be passed to the planning inspector | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
and will be considered at their discretion. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
There are now calls for an extension to the deadline. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
People in the South Hams need more time to make a comment. | :07:03. | :07:14. | |
In order to do this we need an immediate extension | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
of the deadline on Wednesday the 26th, to allow those people | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
The ball is now in the council's court. | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Now, they are the elite, but two Royal Marines have started | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
a challenge that'll see them run 16.64 miles every day, | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
The all-important team photo before the challenge gets under way, | :07:32. | :07:46. | |
but for these two corporals, today is the start of 100 | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
consecutive days running a very precise 16.64 miles. | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
Aiming to run at the right pace, at a reasonably slow | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Just been resting the last week or so, trying to stay injury free. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
I am going to take each day at a time. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Hopefully that's how I will get on until the end. | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
Although getting across to the start line was their first hurdle. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
We have set off from the Mayflower steps, we are now en route | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Once on dry land it was time to start running. | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
1664, it's nothing to do with the beer, it is the year | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
We'll be going round every unit in the corps and Army units that | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
So they will be the face of the corps for the next 100 days. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
They will get support from everyone they meet and they will be sort | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
of dragged along and pushed uphill if they need to be. | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Their journey will take them across the region over the next | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
few days raising funds for the Royal Marines charity. | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
At Exeter Chiefs they will run the match ball | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
After Honiton to Lyme Regis on Sunday, they will start heading | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
north before hopefully ending at Buckingham Palace in August. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
But tonight they will be enjoying a well earned rest in Looe. | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
Time for the weather. It has been cold. But it is not often we see | :09:29. | :09:38. | |
Plymouth has had the highest temperature of any around the | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
country, but that happened today. But that was not everywhere. The | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
other feature of the weather is just total year and clean the air is. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Fantastic visibility in many locations. In excess of 30 | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
kilometres in some places. Tomorrow, more showers to come. Tonight | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
showers will fade away and become isolated by the morning. Mostly | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
confined to the far West of Cornwall. Where the sky is clear | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
that is where we will see the lowest temperatures. Another frost is | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
possible tonight with temperatures close to freezing tomorrow morning. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Tomorrow, some morning sunshine. Showers at the start of the day in | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
West Cornwall. For the rest of us, for half a day, it is fine and dry | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
and perhaps less windy. A view showers in the afternoon with | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
similar temperatures. Thursday, slightly less cold are arriving. A | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
few spots of rain and chisel. Temperatures start to rise as we | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
head towards the end of the week. It is also a later right then as well. | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
Thank you. That is all for now. Join us for our breakfast bulletins | :10:56. | :10:56. | |
tomorrow morning. Good night. Good evening. Another cold night | :10:57. | :11:12. | |
lies ahead after what was a chilly day for swathes of the UK. This is | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
the Highlands of Scotland. 25th of April and lying snow. | :11:19. | :11:21. |
