Fire crews are expected to remain through the night at the scene | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
of a major blaze which destroyed a historic pub near Bideford. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
At it's height, more than 80 firefighters from across Cornwall, | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Devon and Somerset were involved in bringing the fire at the 13th | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Five people inside managed to escape uninjured. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
It's stood to hear for 800 years, but today it was ravaged by fire. | :00:29. | :00:40. | |
All the family that ran the pub could do was stand by and watch | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Sam was due to be working behind the bar this lunchtime. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Instead she was confronted with this. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Everyone supports it, all the community, everyone. | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
Locals told me they couldn't believe their eyes. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
I've lived here all my life and to see the pub here | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
like it is at the minute, it's a bit sad, especially | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
I know the family really well as well. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
It must be gutting for them at the minute. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
The school playground usually falls silent during half-term. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
It was transformed as a temporary holding area | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
It was a deep-seated fire in a thatch, they're always | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
incredibly difficult and it's incredibly hard work | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
pulling the thatch away from the property and just removing | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
all the combustible material to try and deal with the incident. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Firefighters expect to be here through the night. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Only once the site is safe will investigators be able to get | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
a good look at what caused this historic pub to be | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
There's concern from police about the rise in the number | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
of pop-up drug dens across the South West. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Officers says gangs in cities like Manchester or London | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
are dispatching often vulnerable teenagers to the region to sell | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Spotlight's Denis Nightingale has been investigating. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Drug dealing may not be a legal business, | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Spying new markets, gangs branch out from big cities to create | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
The young dealers travel by train, coach and car to places | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
like Bournemouth, Yeovil, Plymouth and Penzance. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Once there, they establish themselves in hotels and hostels | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
and often in the homes of drug addicts. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
Former gang member Jamal was shot and knifed before | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
You're taking a chance with them by off-loading drugs | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
If they come back with the money, obviously that's beneficial. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
If it's a loss or that person gets arrested up there, it is what it is. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
And it can be a lot of money - ?3,000 a day. | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
The young dealers are usually commanded by a single gang leader | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
on a single mobile phone in what are known as county lines. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
This detective sergeant, who does not want his face shown, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
leads undercover operations to break them up. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Quite often they will be people that are recruited from care homes | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
The youngest person we've had is 14 years old and he was already on bail | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
after being found in Bournemouth in a hotel room with | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Figures from the police in the south west show that last year, | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
sentences totalling hundreds of years in prison were handed out | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
to criminals following county lines investigations. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
We intercepted numerous people, young, vulnerable, missing people | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
from the metropolitan cities and returned them back | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Many of those young people will have been recruited through social media. | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
Very often they will be groomed for me that collated by these groups | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
of people who want them to sell all run drugs for them, | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
and they can then be exploited for that and then | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
In regards to social media, I think the flip side of things | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
should be promoted and shown, where a mother's sitting | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
in their house crying when her house is turned upside down at 5am | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
by the police, or when a family is at the graveside due to the fact | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
that someone has been lost to knife crime. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Exeter University says it is carrying out an urgent | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
investigation after a swastika was found carved into a door on campus. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
The university says the graffiti and an offensive slogan were removed | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Disciplinary action against the students believed to be | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
The university said any form of racist or discriminatory | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
The rail operator GWR has been told to improve the training | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
and assessment of new drivers following an investigation | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
into a collision at Plymouth railway station. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
48 people were hurt and two trains damaged | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
Jane Chandler has been following the story. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
The accident happened on a Sunday afternoon last year, last April, | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
The Penzance to Exeter service, passenger train, it was pulling | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
into Plymouth Station on platform six when it hit an empty train. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Some 48 people were hurt, four of them were trained staff. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
According to the Rail Accident Investigation Branch, | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
they say that the signalman had decided that both trains | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Unfortunately, he had not told the driver, | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
but he doesn't have to according to the rules, and although | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
the driver applied emergency brakes, he still hit the other train | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
and to further complicate matters, the train driver had | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
The recommendations that have been given in the report to GWR | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
who owned two of the trains, and some of the other operators | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
who also have to look at this, is that there should be improvements | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
to the training and assessment of new train drivers. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
And that there are also improvements to the emergency door release | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
There's also another recommendation, but is to Network Rail | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
and that is there is a review of what's called permissive working | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
What that means essentially is when you've got two trains | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
who occupy the same platform or the same line at the same time. | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
We spoke to GWR today and they gave us a statement and what they have | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
told us is that they have been working closely with Network Rail | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
to improve processes when two trains are occupying a single platform. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
They say that "the safety of our passengers and colleagues | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
They have also said that they will be closely studying the report | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
and they will hope to implement any of its further recommendations. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
A bell-ringer from Devon is recovering at home after a freak | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
accident saw him yanked into the air by the rope of the bell | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Ian Bowman, from Widdecombe, was preparing for a service | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Firefighters had to lower him almost 100 feet through a trapdoor before | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
On Saturday they took their toll on Devon bell-ringer Ian Bowman. | :07:14. | :07:25. | |
The rope was going up and down through the ceiling and somehow | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
the rope got behind my right ankle and took me from a standing position | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
to upside down and the next thing I knew I was eyelevel with another | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
So I was upside down and it crashed me back into the floor | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
as the rope came down and then picked me up again. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
With a head and back injury, the emergency services decided | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
a spiral staircase would be problematic, so they placed | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
the mechanic from Widdecombe on a special structure | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
and lowered him through this trap door, 80 feet high. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
We train a lot for this type of scenario, so these types | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
of resources in the fire and rescue service are not always | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
seen out and about, because these incidents, | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
thankfully, do not occur a lot, however we do train exactly | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Ian's recovering at home and hopes to be back ringing bells very soon. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
It is just an accident and it could've happened to anyone, | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
but I was just unlucky that it happened to me. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
It's happened and I'll get better and I can get back to bell-ringing. | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
Four rare otter pups, which were born at Newquay Zoo | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
at the end of last year, are now beginning to venture outside. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
The zoo has released this footage of the quartet of Asian | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
They were taken for their first swimming lesson by their parents, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
which mainly consisted of the pups being dunked repeatedly | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
It has been quite a blowy day today. Strong winds around but it has been | :08:48. | :09:08. | |
milder at least, although it might not have felt like it with the wind. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
This week will be mild in general. Durst 's Strong winds than today. We | :09:14. | :09:21. | |

eastwards. It is d j vu for eastwards. It is d j vu for | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Wednesday. Perhaps that rain heavier and foundry for a time. For Thursday | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
and Friday, higher pressure building in. More cloud will feed him through | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Friday and that could bring a little bit of rain. Tonight we see clear | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
spells initially. Cloud tends to build and outbreaks of rain will | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
work in from the south-west. The winds slowly easing and temperatures | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
typically six, seven, 8 degrees. For many a wet start to tomorrow but the | :10:17. | :10:23. | |

turning dry as we move towards Thursday and Friday. That is the | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
news and weather this Monday night. From everyone here, good night. | :10:52. | :11:01. | |
