:00:00. > 3:59:59And we will ask why so many more people over the age of 65 are
:00:00. > :00:12.getting married these days. Feelings were running high
:00:13. > :00:17.in Holsworthy this evening as around 500 people gathered
:00:18. > :00:21.to express their anger at plans to temporarily
:00:22. > :00:24.close their community hospital beds. The NHS Trust bosses met
:00:25. > :00:27.with shouts and jeers from the audience, but refused
:00:28. > :00:29.to overturn the decision. Our health correspondent Jenny
:00:30. > :00:43.Walrond is there for us tonight. I gather quite a lively meeting?
:00:44. > :00:48.Absolutely. Hospital bosses can be left in no doubt that there is
:00:49. > :00:52.considerable public anger and distrust over their decision to come
:00:53. > :00:58.close beds at Holsworthy hospital. At a packed meeting tonight we heard
:00:59. > :01:03.concerns that that temporary closure could become permanent and criticism
:01:04. > :01:04.over the way the trust is handle problems with staffing and bed
:01:05. > :01:05.occupancy. When it comes to dying, I want to be
:01:06. > :01:11.able to die where I want to die and in the comfort that
:01:12. > :01:12.I want. So, you are telling me
:01:13. > :01:18.that the reason numbers are reducing is because you have stopped people
:01:19. > :01:20.coming to Holsworthy? Sometimes people need more medical
:01:21. > :01:28.care and the best place Do you know, they feel
:01:29. > :01:32.very strongly about it. It is such an important thing,
:01:33. > :01:36.a centre of the community really. We asked if it is going to be
:01:37. > :01:39.permanent and they were like, "Oh, You know, they were going
:01:40. > :01:44.on about the agency staff. No proper answer, no better
:01:45. > :01:58.off now, really, so... And what did the trust had to say
:01:59. > :02:02.tonight? Northern Devon health care Jost was challenged to overturn a
:02:03. > :02:06.decision to close those beds but the Chief Executive said that that is
:02:07. > :02:11.something there was no way we would do in speaking to me before the
:02:12. > :02:12.meeting Alison Diamond said that the closure was due to significant
:02:13. > :02:13.safety concerns. One of them is around the use
:02:14. > :02:18.of agency staff to support our staff due to very significant staff
:02:19. > :02:24.sickness and also some vacancies And that, in combination with few
:02:25. > :02:32.people actually needing the beds in Holsworthy,
:02:33. > :02:50.is a situation that we can't There was one assurance. But is that
:02:51. > :02:56.current patients will be allowed to stay for as long as they need to.
:02:57. > :03:00.Patients such as Penny Smith who has terminal ovarian cancer and who has
:03:01. > :03:04.appealed to end her days at Holsworthy hospital but there were
:03:05. > :03:08.no promises that these beds would definitely reopen and so it may be
:03:09. > :03:11.many months before we know the long-term future of this hospital.
:03:12. > :03:14.Jenny in Holsworthy, thank you. There are calls tonight
:03:15. > :03:16.for changes to the way military It follows the successful appeal
:03:17. > :03:20.by Sergeant Alexander Blackman The former Royal Marine from Taunton
:03:21. > :03:24.shot dead an injured Taliban Today an Appeal Court ruled
:03:25. > :03:27.he was instead guilty of manslaughter on the grounds
:03:28. > :03:30.of diminished responsibility. In Taunton, a Royal Marine's town,
:03:31. > :03:38.you don't have to look far to find people flying the flag for Alexander
:03:39. > :03:41.Blackman. Well, that is better than it was,
:03:42. > :03:47.but I still feel that he should After all, he was fighting
:03:48. > :03:52.for his country and things Yet there are those who believe
:03:53. > :03:58.Alexander Blackman had to be held Well, it was right
:03:59. > :04:02.that he was prosecuted. That sort of action has
:04:03. > :04:06.to be investigated. Simon Hollington was
:04:07. > :04:09.a Royal Marine for 24 years, Today he told me Alexander Blackman
:04:10. > :04:14.had crossed the line of what was acceptable
:04:15. > :04:18.on the battlefield. I can understand how he did
:04:19. > :04:21.what he did, I don't We have to keep them,
:04:22. > :04:27.otherwise we are reduced to savages. What do you say though
:04:28. > :04:30.to the argument that what goes on on the battlefield should stay
:04:31. > :04:32.on the battlefield? If somebody breaks the law
:04:33. > :04:37.and it is the law, then they have Former Sergeant Blackman
:04:38. > :04:42.is currently in Erlestoke prison in Wiltshire having served more
:04:43. > :04:45.than three years of an eight-year Now, it all dates back to September
:04:46. > :04:52.2011 when he was serving in Helmand Province,
:04:53. > :04:55.Afghanistan. When he shot dead
:04:56. > :04:57.a seriously injured Taliban His actions captured
:04:58. > :05:03.on helmet camera. But his prosecution
:05:04. > :05:15.prompted protests. This one on the streets
:05:16. > :05:19.of Westminster. And in Parliament today,
:05:20. > :05:21.the local MP welcomed And would the Prime Minister agree
:05:22. > :05:26.with me that within the correct legal framework, those
:05:27. > :05:29.who defend our peace, protect our will from evil,
:05:30. > :05:32.be treated with fairness Another MP, a former soldier,
:05:33. > :05:37.said the right outcome had It was always my view whilst
:05:38. > :05:44.Sergeant Blackman had behaved in the most despicable way,
:05:45. > :05:48.what he was guilty in the most despicable way, what he was
:05:49. > :05:50.guilty of was not murder. He was mentally ill
:05:51. > :05:53.when he did what he did. He had not been looked
:05:54. > :05:55.after by his chain of command. He had seen things that would have
:05:56. > :05:58.snapped the will and senses of anybody and what he did
:05:59. > :06:01.was awful, truly, truly awful, but it wasn't murder,
:06:02. > :06:04.it was manslaughter. So, murder has now formally
:06:05. > :06:07.become manslaughter, but the debate over the rights
:06:08. > :06:10.and wrongs of the shooting, and the prosecution which followed
:06:11. > :06:17.it, haven't gone away. Earlier the Liberal Democrat
:06:18. > :06:20.peer Lord Burnett, who's a former Royal Marine,
:06:21. > :06:23.told Spotlight he'd be calling for a change in the way military
:06:24. > :06:26.courts deal with cases like Sergeant It'll be raised in the House
:06:27. > :06:31.of Lords next week. The public don't really understand
:06:32. > :06:39.quite what those pressures are. The panel should
:06:40. > :06:44.have been his peers. That is the culture,
:06:45. > :06:48.the ethos of court-martial. Only two of the seven members
:06:49. > :06:51.of the panel had actually served in Afghanistan and knew the hell
:06:52. > :06:53.that was inflicted And straight after this programme
:06:54. > :06:58.there's a special edition of Panorama made by filmmaker
:06:59. > :07:01.Chris Terrill, who was embedded with Sergeant Blackman's unit
:07:02. > :07:06.at the time of the shooting. In a vital case that could affect
:07:07. > :07:10.the way we fight wars in future, we ask did Sergeant Blackman kill
:07:11. > :07:14.in cold blood? Were there other pressures
:07:15. > :07:20.we had not heard about? Everyone that was speaking
:07:21. > :07:22.on the radio was sending For every individual man, there's
:07:23. > :07:36.a point in which he's had too much. That's Panorama at
:07:37. > :07:40.10:50pm here on BBC One. The most likely cause
:07:41. > :07:44.of a devastating fire in the Cornish village of St Day was electrical
:07:45. > :07:47.according to Cornwall's Fire It started at the same time
:07:48. > :07:51.as several electrical faults Today our reporter David George
:07:52. > :07:57.was invited in, to see Fire has burned through into next
:07:58. > :08:10.door and through the roof. Katie finds some wet and charred
:08:11. > :08:19.pictures of her daughter. I found these pictures
:08:20. > :08:21.of Charlie from quite Everything was in there,
:08:22. > :08:33.our lives, everything and... I came out and there was,
:08:34. > :08:35.in number three, there was smoke Neighbour Tammy Mitchell called
:08:36. > :08:42.the Fire Service and that was just minutes after she had reported
:08:43. > :08:46.a power cut in the estate. The electric goes off, sparking,
:08:47. > :08:50.the satellite box is going up, sparking off on cushions and ten
:08:51. > :08:55.minutes later the roof was smoking. And then within 20 minutes
:08:56. > :08:58.two rooves are on fire, Western Power Distribution say no
:08:59. > :09:03.one is available for an interview, but a spokesman confirmed
:09:04. > :09:06.that there was a problem with the transformer that was here,
:09:07. > :09:11.which is why they had replaced it Well, let's take a look
:09:12. > :09:31.a weather now with David. Good evening. We have had some
:09:32. > :09:35.sunshine today, not everywhere, but some places got a lovely entered the
:09:36. > :09:39.day. This was the sunset in Somerset. Tomorrow I don't think we
:09:40. > :09:44.will see as much clear sky. Cloud will be thicker and more widespread
:09:45. > :09:48.and it's capable of producing some spots of drizzle. All because of
:09:49. > :09:52.this weather front which is slowly coming in from the West through the
:09:53. > :09:57.day tomorrow. It will introduce cooler air and that opens the door
:09:58. > :10:01.to much more unsettled weather. This is Friday, a bright start and cloud
:10:02. > :10:05.and rain sweeping in. More cloud and rain as we head into the start of
:10:06. > :10:12.the weekend. Any dry weather tomorrow we will make the most.
:10:13. > :10:16.Tonight it is misty. Low cloud and hill fog. Mild bout with
:10:17. > :10:22.temperatures between seven and nine of us. Tomorrow the greyness is
:10:23. > :10:26.there this time the cloud will be quite thick and it will produce a
:10:27. > :10:32.few spots of rain and not as warm as today. Ten of 11 the maximum. Quite
:10:33. > :10:39.a bright start on Friday. There might be some sunshine at first
:10:40. > :10:44.before rain gradually sweep since. They wet Friday evening. Quite a
:10:45. > :10:46.damp and windy start weekend ahead. That is all from me.
:10:47. > :10:49.That's about all from us tonight - that special edition of Panorama
:10:50. > :11:07.been. The outlook, rain around, if it stays dry I will be surprised.
:11:08. > :11:21.Here is Nick with the national headlines.
:11:22. > :11:26.For large parts of Wales and England there was blue sky and warmth.
:11:27. > :11:28.Warmest day of the
