:00:19. > :00:23.Devon and Somerset came out winners receiving more than twice as much
:00:24. > :00:27.But there was shock and disappointment west

:00:32. > :00:34.Tamsin Melville has this report from Plymouth train station,
:00:35. > :00:42.where the money will help fund major redevelopment.
:00:43. > :00:48.When you arrive, that is my biggest beef, really. It is tired, it is
:00:49. > :00:50.dilapidated. dilapidated.
:00:51. > :00:54.If it is true first impressions count, today, Plymouth had reasons
:00:55. > :00:59.to celebrate. Sprucing up the area outside the station is on a list of
:01:00. > :01:02.ten projects across Devon and Somerset in line for some government
:01:03. > :01:05.cash. This is an ideal way to spend
:01:06. > :01:08.government money, because it will leveraged huge amount of private
:01:09. > :01:12.sector investment. Universities are keen to get involved in the project.
:01:13. > :01:17.They are keen to locate a new faculty, so we're talking about
:01:18. > :01:20.winning in 40- ?50 million of private sector investment, and it
:01:21. > :01:23.would transform the entire site. The money coming down the tracks to
:01:24. > :01:30.hear is bid for by business leaders, and is for projects to boost the
:01:31. > :01:34.economy and create jobs. Six local enterprise partnership areas across
:01:35. > :01:37.the wider South West are sharing ?191 million.
:01:38. > :01:39.In our area, this is how it breaks down. Dorset is in line for 19.5
:01:40. > :01:44.million. Devon and Somerset will million. Devon and Somerset will
:01:45. > :01:51.pocket 43.6 million, and Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are getting
:01:52. > :01:54.18 million. But Cornwall actually bid for 127 million, so there are
:01:55. > :01:58.some tough decisions on what project will now get the cash.
:01:59. > :02:03.We are disappointed that it is not more. Clearly, in terms of Cornwall
:02:04. > :02:07.and the Isles of Scilly economy, we absolutely need further investment,
:02:08. > :02:11.whether that be in infrastructure, direct into business, skills and
:02:12. > :02:16.other things. We still need that investment. One thing I would say is
:02:17. > :02:20.that on a per capita basis, we are about on a par with many other LEP
:02:21. > :02:24.areas. In Devon and Somerset, funds for ten
:02:25. > :02:27.projects instead of the hoped-for 27, but some are happy it is more
:02:28. > :02:30.than expected. Some disappointment but Cornwall. I
:02:31. > :02:35.think it is very important to look at again the quality of the bid. The
:02:36. > :02:39.more tangible the better, and in relation to some bids in Devon and
:02:40. > :02:41.Somerset, lots of joint ventures, people working together, and
:02:42. > :02:45.government likes to see that, and that is perhaps a lesson that could
:02:46. > :02:48.Work continuing on these Work continuing on these
:02:49. > :02:53.improvements near Saltash, funded by money from one of two previous
:02:54. > :02:56.growth funding rounds. But the council to night branded the
:02:57. > :02:59.settlement as shockingly small and disappointing.
:03:00. > :03:05.Our political editor Martyn Oates has been following the story. A huge
:03:06. > :03:08.discrepancy between the money awarded either side of the tame our?
:03:09. > :03:12.Yes, Cornwall council eventually today admitted that they were
:03:13. > :03:16.shocked and disappointed by the amount of money they had got. They
:03:17. > :03:19.say in future, they would encourage the government to base this on need,
:03:20. > :03:25.because this is not, they say, reflect lower earnings in the
:03:26. > :03:29.county, poverty and rural areas. But as the South West Devon MP hinted
:03:30. > :03:33.there in the report, that is not how this particular scheme is set up. It
:03:34. > :03:36.is basically competitive, so the government gives money to the
:03:37. > :03:43.proposals it thinks are the strongest. So it is quite unlike,
:03:44. > :03:46.for instance, the European funding that Cornwall has been receiving and
:03:47. > :03:52.is continuing to receive, which is basically awarded according to need.
:03:53. > :03:55.The background to all this is quite interesting as well. A few months
:03:56. > :04:00.ago, Devon and Somerset were told they should expect as little as
:04:01. > :04:05.Cornwall, if not an even smaller sum of money. In the meantime, there has
:04:06. > :04:10.been some quite ferocious lobbying by MPs from the two counties, both
:04:11. > :04:14.in parliament and administers' offices in Whitehall, and that seems
:04:15. > :04:16.to have paid off. Briefly, how important is this
:04:17. > :04:19.investment overall? Well, even in Devon and Somerset,
:04:20. > :04:23.the money they have got is less than half the amount they bid for, so
:04:24. > :04:27.there, as in Cornwall, number of projects will not now go ahead. I
:04:28. > :04:32.spoke to one senior figure in the business community this evening who
:04:33. > :04:37.said that frankly, ?43 million for Devon and Somerset is a derisory sum
:04:38. > :04:37.for an economy the size of those counties.
:04:38. > :04:39.Thank you very much. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency
:04:40. > :04:41.is tonight insisting that people calling 999 in south Devon
:04:42. > :04:44.will still get help, despite a dispute with
:04:45. > :04:46.the Dartmouth Coastguard Two senior members have quit
:04:47. > :04:50.and the other ten will resign if a resolution with the MCA
:04:51. > :04:53.cannot be found. They're unhappy about changes
:04:54. > :04:56.to their procedures. Other emergency services,
:04:57. > :05:01.such as the RNLI Lifeboats, are still operational.
:05:02. > :05:13.From Dartmouth, John Ayres reports. Tonight, the Dartmouth coastguard
:05:14. > :05:18.rescue team are off-line, meaning they will not be answering their
:05:19. > :05:20.pagers are going on any shouts. Ordinarily, it would take 7-10
:05:21. > :05:24.minutes for them to get to an incident, but it would have to be a
:05:25. > :05:27.neighbouring team now, which could take anything between 40-50 minutes.
:05:28. > :05:32.They have had a vote of no-confidence the management, the
:05:33. > :05:35.MCA. They are unhappy two senior members have quit. The remaining
:05:36. > :05:40.members say they will resign if they cannot come to a solution. The
:05:41. > :05:44.Maritime and Coastguard Agency said, we are aware of an issue with the
:05:45. > :05:48.Dartmouth coastguard rescue team. We will be working with those involved
:05:49. > :05:52.to bring about a swift resolution. Coastguard rescue team is a much
:05:53. > :05:56.valued part of our search and rescue capability, which also includes
:05:57. > :06:00.helicopters and lifeboats, so anyone who finds themselves in difficulty
:06:01. > :06:06.should be assured that they will always get help if they call 999 and
:06:07. > :06:07.ask for a coastguard. There will be a meeting tomorrow, and hopefully,
:06:08. > :06:09.they can find a resolution. An independent investigation
:06:10. > :06:11.into a former Avon and Somerset police doctor has found he fell
:06:12. > :06:14.woefully or grossly below common and acceptable standards during 10
:06:15. > :06:17.medical examinations. The report also found
:06:18. > :06:20.there were several missed opportunities to act upon concerns
:06:21. > :06:24.about Dr Reginald Bunting, Victims complained about being made
:06:25. > :06:30.to strip naked unnecessarily and being touched inappropriately.
:06:31. > :06:36.The force has apologised. Experts are warning that terror
:06:37. > :06:38.groups are using gaming forums They say the problem isn't just
:06:39. > :06:44.confined to urban areas, but also affects teenagers
:06:45. > :06:47.in Devon and Cornwall. Terror groups are creating their own
:06:48. > :06:51.games mimicking the style of popular games to draw people in.
:06:52. > :07:09.Eleanor Parkinson has more details. It is a seductive world for
:07:10. > :07:12.teenagers, the world of fantasy and often violence, and many young
:07:13. > :07:15.people are linking up with others around the world on gaming forums.
:07:16. > :07:19.But experts say often, they have no idea of who they are talking to.
:07:20. > :07:25.Terror groups are now using gaming forums to radicalise and recruit. As
:07:26. > :07:29.a potential radicalise, you are looking for vulnerabilities in an
:07:30. > :07:34.individual, and if those are identified, that is where they start
:07:35. > :07:37.to signpost them to alternative sites, alternative chat rooms, and
:07:38. > :07:42.start to communicate with them outside of the normal media
:07:43. > :07:44.channels. In 2008, Nicky Reilly, young man with learning
:07:45. > :07:50.difficulties, try to set off a home-made nail bomb in Exeter. It
:07:51. > :07:54.emerged he had been encouraged by two men he had been speaking to an
:07:55. > :07:57.online chat room. All schools in Cornwall have no train their staff
:07:58. > :08:02.to look up on my medicalisation. At this college, they have had to refer
:08:03. > :08:06.two pupils because of low level concerns about their behaviour, and
:08:07. > :08:10.he's are not isolated cases. -- these are not. At this college,
:08:11. > :08:13.students can now use an app to talk to a teacher if they have concerns
:08:14. > :08:16.about a friend. If I were to see one of my close
:08:17. > :08:20.friends who were starting to act differently, perhaps not so social,
:08:21. > :08:24.or spending more time inside by themselves, I would just go and
:08:25. > :08:26.question them, CF anything was happening to them, such as the
:08:27. > :08:31.radicalisation. It might be a student who changes
:08:32. > :08:35.their friendship group, becomes more isolated. Their parents may report
:08:36. > :08:39.that they spend more time alone in their bedroom, more time alone
:08:40. > :08:42.online. It might be that they have particular searches that flag up on
:08:43. > :08:48.our filtering system in the school that might be a concern, or in some
:08:49. > :08:50.cases, students who might respond to national or international incidents
:08:51. > :08:53.in a way that worry you. Terror groups have even designed
:08:54. > :08:58.their own games to mimic the plots of the game is being sold in shops.

:09:39. > :09:43.behind some pretty lively gusts of wind. These are the strongest gusts
:09:44. > :09:49.of wind from earlier today. Top of the league was bliss, 67 mph. The
:09:50. > :09:53.winds are much lighter now, and will continue to drop overnight tonight.
:09:54. > :09:55.For the next hour and a half to two hours, Stills and very strong gust
:09:56. > :10:01.of wind, but as I mentioned, they will ease through the night, and a
:10:02. > :10:06.much quieter day to come tomorrow. A week weather front may drift in late
:10:07. > :10:09.in the day, but for many of us, a quiet, dry, bright day, more wind
:10:10. > :10:14.and rain on Saturday, but not as windy as it has been today. By
:10:15. > :10:18.Sunday, we are into blustery westerly winds again. So overnight,
:10:19. > :10:23.a chance of a shower, but they are fleeting for most of us. Dry, clear
:10:24. > :10:28.night. The winds continuing to drop through the night, and also falling
:10:29. > :10:32.down to just 2-3 in places. A touch of frost is certainly possible first
:10:33. > :10:36.thing tomorrow. Tomorrow, a bright dry day. There may be a few showers
:10:37. > :10:42.around, but they will be isolated. Not overly warm, 8-10 is the
:10:43. > :10:47.maximum. More cloud around on Saturday. Eventually, that will
:10:48. > :10:51.produce outbreaks of rain. Breezy and mildly 10-11 the top
:10:52. > :10:52.temperature, and it stays mild into Sunday as well.
:10:53. > :10:56.Have a good night. That it from the late team.
:10:57. > :11:02.Thank you for your company. Good night.
:11:03. > :11:11.be much milder. I will leave you with Thomas Shelter.
:11:12. > :11:19.Good evening. It was quite a day for some of us. We get these sort of
:11:20. > :11:22.storms every couple of years also. Difficult to give an exact number,
:11:23. > :11:28.but it was certainly a nasty one. It's now moving into Holland,
:11:29. > :11:34.Germany, south of Denmark, and it continues to blow itself out. The
:11:35. > :11:37.winds around coasts were not particularly spectacular, but the
:11:38. > :11:47.inland winds were unusual, 62 mph in London. A trail of damage across the
