A verdict of unlawful killing has been recorded into the death | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
of a wealthy Devon businessman whose family are convinced | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Barry Pring was killed by a speeding vehicle in Ukraine. | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
From the inquest in Exeter, Anna Varle reports. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
It has been a nine-year battle for the Pring family to find out | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
But does today's verdict give them any comfort? | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
The conclusion today was what we expected. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
However, that conclusion still isn't going to get justice for Barry, | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
because the person that murdered him is still a free person. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
The 47-year-old had been celebrating his first wedding anniversary | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
He was with his wife and former stripper, Ganna Ziuzina. | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
The inquest heard how the couple had left | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
the restaurant and the couple were trying to hail a cab. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Ganna Ziuzina turned back to try and fetch | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
a glove, and then Barry was hit by a car travelling at speed, | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
The coroner said Barry Pring had been tricked into | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
standing on a westbound carriageway, which was the wrong | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
Despite the verdict of unlawful killing, Devon and Cornwall Police | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
have no jurisdiction to take it further. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
As far as Devon and Cornwall Police is concerned, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
it has always been a Ukrainian-led investigation. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
We have no jurisdiction, we can't get any jurisdiction | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
We are just hopeful that the Ukrainian authorities | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
will pick up the verdict from the coroner and can | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
take further action back in the Ukraine. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
The family, however, vowed to continue the fight. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Does this give you any closure at all? | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
And we will keep fighting until we get justice. | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
That report from Anna Varle in Exeter. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Campaigners in North Devon fighting to save two theatres are calling | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
on the local council to step in and help. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
The trust which ran the Queen's Theatre in Barnstaple | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
and the Landmark in Ilfracombe went into administration yesterday. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
They received nearly ?300,000 in council money | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
The doors are closed now but these campaigners want them | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
This singer performed at the theatre in Barnstaple last week. | :02:33. | :02:44. | |
It is so sad that it is all going to be gone and this makes people | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
like me inspired and able to dream big and I don't want it to | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
This and the Landmark Theatre in Ilfracombe have gone | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
There are calls for the local council to step in. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
They don't have endless money, we understand that, but we believe | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
there is a viable future for these theatres and as North Devon Council | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
own the theatre buildings, we hope we can come to a solution. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
We are pleading with the council to work with us and the administrator | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
to find a way to get doors open again. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
The North Devon Theatres Trust blamed falling sales | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
and a cut in public subsidy from the local council | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
These closures leave the Plough arts Centre in Great Torrington | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
as the last art centre for miles around. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
It survives on just ?9,000 a year in public funding. | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
Many organisations have been on a journey of weaning themselves | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
off public funding out of necessity and it is a journey that some have | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
If you have got two big theatres with big overheads it is difficult | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
to say that you will cover that from the box office. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
It was always going to need some sort of support. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
As a society we should be supporting the arts. | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
If you go to other countries, they support the arts, phenomenally. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
The subsidy to support the theatres from the council was over ?300,000. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
The council says that it is facing financial pressure | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
It would not comment further whilst the administration process | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
is ongoing, leaving campaigners waiting for a verdict | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Well, North Devon MP Peter Heaton Jones has said throwing | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
more public money at the theatres isn't the solution. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Speaking earlier he called for the council, community | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
and the theatres to come together to turn the situation around. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Yes, it's got to be turned around, as one of the campaigners | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Both theatres are viable, firstly, but secondly, | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
North Devon District Council doesn't have a bottomless pit of money. | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
The council, by which we mean local taxpayers, have subsidised theatres | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
to the tune of about ?3 million in the last six years. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
It's a lot of money, but in return, the theatre has to get | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
people into the seats, they have to bring in productions | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
Sadly, we have seen audiences reduced by about 20%, | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
by about one fifth, recently, so the sums don't add | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
We've got to try and work to make this deal happen. | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
We had calls tonight for North Devon Council to be | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
putting more money in. Do you think that's a viable option? | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
North Devon Council doesn't have any money. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
And for that reason it has to watch every pound | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
As I've said, the council has put in more than ?3 million | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
That's a lot of money for a small local authority. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
But on the other side of the equation, theatres do have | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
to be putting on performances that people want to come and see. | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
And the days, I'm afraid, have gone where the solutions | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
to these problems is to throw more public money at it. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
What I am urging everyone to do is get together round the table | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Should they be staging different shows? | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Is that one of the answers to getting people to go to the theatre? | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
I couldn't answer that, but what I do know is that | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
both theatres are viable. They are vital for the community. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
I've been to a number of events, not only performances and shows | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
but also community meetings in both Ilfracombe and Barnstaple, | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
and they are a vital part of the community and | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
of the arts scene in North Devon. We have to save them both. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
I am urging everyone to get round the table | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
to come up with a deal and if I, as the MP, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
can help in any way, my door open. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
People in Somerset may have to fork out more than ?10 million | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
scheme which is more than two years behind schedule. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
No-one will even say when Taunton's new road will open. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Clinton Rogers has this exclusive report. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
It remains the road to nowhere, already two years behind schedule, | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
I think people are getting a bit fed up with it, | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
That would sort them out, wouldn't it? | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
The mile-long road on the northern side of Taunton is designed to ease | :07:17. | :07:29. | |
congestion in a rapidly expanding town with its fair | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
But this project has been beset by technical difficulties, not least | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
over the construction of a new bridge. | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
I'm telling them to get workers out here and get | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
And this week for the first time the county council, | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
which has already paid more than ?11 million | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
We employed what we thought was a competent contractor to do this | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
project a number of years ago and here we are in January 2017 and the | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
road still is not open. Whenever this road finally | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
does open, the question is - who is responsible | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
for all the technical problems, all the delays and who is going | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
to pick up the bill which The fact is, both sides | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
are blaming one another, the council and the contractor, | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
and it is a row that has become now a formal legal dispute and the loser | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
could be faced with a very big bill indeed - I am told in | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
excess of ?10 million. The contractor, Carillion, | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
is refusing interviews The council is adamant - | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
we're not paying a penny piece more. They want extra money - | :08:32. | :08:45. | |
I'm not a charitable person, So now lawyers are involved | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
in a dispute which could yet go to the courts and of course push up | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
the final bill even higher Keepers at Paignton Zoo are helping | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
the animals stay warm during the frosty nights by adding | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
a mealtime favourite to their menu. The western lowland | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
gorillas from Africa The zoo says it's one of the few | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
things which will tempt them out Well time now to take a look | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
at the weather and David has | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
the forecast for us. Hello, good evening. After some | :09:26. | :09:35. | |
quiet but cold weather over the last few days, it is beginning to change | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
now with slightly more robberies developing tomorrow. Still a cold | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
start some post and some sunshine to enjoy but more of a breeze and it | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
will be a cold wind, too, with areas of low pressure out of the west | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
squeezing those Acer bars. The winds will increase tomorrow afternoon, | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
tomorrow night and into Thursday. Light winds overnight allow that | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
mist and fog to reform other parts of eastern Somerset with the lowest | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
temperatures SmackDown 2-1 and a fast possible elsewhere. Generally | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
more of a breeze so less post than last night, and a better chance to | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
see more sunshine on and off through the day. We should start to see | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
temperatures recover up to maybe nine Celsius, the maximum. Quite a | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
cool breeze developing along the South West coast of Cornwall. It is | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
the South West wind we get on Thursday that brings across the | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
channels on cold air. So quite a cold fuel to the day on Thursday. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
Daytime temperatures of five Celsius but given the wind chill it will | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
feel more like -2, or minus three. Things to warm up towards the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
weekend but not without seeing some patchy rain on the way on Friday. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
Have a good night. That's all from the late team. Sleep well, and we | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
will see you soon. | :11:02. | :11:02. |
