Good evening. Extra police patrols have been introduced in the region | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
as a precaution following the London terror attack. Police commanders | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
told the BBC that security has been increased at airports, main railway | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
stations, military bases and ports. Simon Hall reports. A single word | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
summed up the mood amongst travellers to London from the | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
south-west today, the pies. I am going to visit my daughter. She's in | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Suffolk, and I am not going to be put off by a terrorist. If everyone | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
gave in and didn't do anything it would not be British, would it? We | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
plan to go and I am not having any terrorist affecting us. Our lives | :00:59. | :00:59. | |
will not be affected by it, we I think it's important | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
for a number of reasons. For ourselves, obviously, | :01:03. | :01:35. | |
our job is to be out there to reassure the public, | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
make everybody feel safe. I think, more importantly | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
as a member of the public, someone who lives in this country | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
and has resided in it all their life, I think | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
it is important that we are able to carry on, be as resilient | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
as possible and show these people that, you know, | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
we can live our lives And we will live our | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
lives quite normally. As investigations continued | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
into yesterday's attack, one South-West terrorism expert told | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
us it was important that people They should, of course, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
always be alert in public places, But, basically, don't get | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
worried, don't get panicky. The threat for this part | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
of the world is very low. In an open letter, Avon | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
and Somerset Police said: As well as stations, | :02:24. | :02:37. | |
there will be extra police patrols at the South-West airports | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
and military bases and large public All this is not in response to any | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
specific threat to the region, senior officers say, | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
but a precaution. It's designed to reassure the public | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
and to ensure that life can go on as normal in defiance of attacks | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
which are intended to spread fear. Around 50 children from Somerset | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
found themselves trapped inside Westminster for two hours | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
during the terror alert. One Devon MP has been talking | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
tonight about the way For some of these ten | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
and 11-year-olds, But shortly after these photos | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
were taken, they were trapped inside the Palace of Westminster | :03:25. | :03:37. | |
as the incident unfolded. Today, a parent of one of those | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
children still visibly upset. I'm very emotional. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Heartbreaking. It's the first time I have ever | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
let my son go anywhere He was very cuddly when he saw | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
me first last night. The 53 children and seven | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
staff were ushered to the Central Lobby at Westminster | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
- a safe place, but still within 50 metres of where the police | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
officer was stabbed. The deputy head kept spirits | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
up by singing hymns. Yeah, we had a lovely ripple | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
of applause at the end and, beautifully, lots of people, | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
lots of MPs on the way out congratulated our children on how | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
well they sang and how they lightened the mood, | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
so that was lovely to hear. Meanwhile, back at the School | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
at Bridgwater, text messages | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
were sent to worried parents. And then we said to parents | :04:28. | :04:28. | |
that they could come We had teas and coffees | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
and the Salvation Army were here and our local vicar | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
helping parents to process At the school today, | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
everyone is well. The Prime Minister was also | :04:38. | :04:50. | |
impressed by everyone's bravery. It must have particularly | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
difficult for those children who were here and being caught | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
up in this. We should commend the work | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
of their teachers in offering them MPs have been returning from London | :04:58. | :05:14. | |
but the message that action is being taken to keep us safe. This is the | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
first time up at an attack like this in Westminster, so we need to keep | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
it in proportion, but the police are reviewing the situation in London | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
and Westminster and the Chief Constable will be working with his | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
team in Devon and Cornwall to make sure that any relevant measures are | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
put in place. It is a trip these youngsters will not forget. But it | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
will not stop them doing what they want to do in future. | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
A look at some of the other stories making the news tonight. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Offers of help have been made to try to keep | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
the Isles of Scilly's only care home open. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
The council, which runs Park House, says it's had interest | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
in carers' jobs and offers of accommodation for staff. | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
It's facing closure because of problems recruiting people. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
The number of child sex offences recorded in the South West | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
is at an all-time high, according to the NSPCC. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
there were nearly 1,500 cases last year - that's up 10%. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Cornwall is the fifth-worst performing area in the country | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
for getting patients out of hospital and back home. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
The independent health charity the Nuffield Trust says that | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
for every 1,000 patients, 43 can't go home | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
because social care packages aren't in place. | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Cornish cyclist Wendy Houvenaghel says a "medal at any cost" approach | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
created a "culture of fear" at British Cycling. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
The Olympic silver medallist claims | :06:35. | :06:35. | |
there was also no regard for welfare. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
British Cycling says it's introduced a plan to address shortcomings. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Falmouth University has been named the sixth best in the UK | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Students across the UK took part in the survey for the Times. | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
They rated teaching, facilities, accommodation and social life. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
A new initiative has been launched to encourage | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
more people in the South West to become foster parents. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
There's a shortage across much of the region. | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Johnny Rutherford has been meeting some of those | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
who already offer support in Plymouth. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Sky has been with foster mum, Madge, for four years. | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
You never know what will come through your front door. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
When Sky first arrived she had black hair, thick black make-up | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Slowly, over the weeks and months that have | :07:29. | :07:39. | |
now turned into years, she has grown up, matured. | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
It is a delight to look after a lot of these children. | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
They just need to be loved, they need support, | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
That is the sort of carer of that Plymouth City Council are looking | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
for, a foster parent who is looking to help change a vulnerable child | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
We want carers from Plymouth to come forward so we don't have to place | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
We know that children are best placed around their family | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
and their connections so we really want carers to come forward. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
There are people out there who would potentially | :08:17. | :08:17. | |
We have increased our financial offer to encourage people | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Also within the new support packages specialised training, | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
It is about the commitment, taking someone into your home | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
who is broken, maybe feeling very unloved, and it is about giving them | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
a family environment they're not used to have the chance to feel | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
better about themselves and excel in life and go somewhere. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
There may be trouble at first, they could be cheeky or very quiet | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
but they will come out of their shell in their own time. | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
Now 18, Sky is the longer fostered by Madge, but she is still family. | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
Now time to find out what the weather has in store. | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
Thank you for all your cloud photographs. | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
It was a bit of a grey day today with outbreaks of rain. | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
Tomorrow, more rain but then it turns a lot brighter. | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
What's happening is, an area of low pressure that | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
generated that rain today is now heading down towards the west coast | :09:31. | :09:41. | |
of Spain and Portugal with high pressure following, lasting | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
Some of the rain from earlier today was quite heavy but it is now | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
It will be dry for a time tonight apart from a few showers | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
There will be the continued risk of a few spots of light rain | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
But it will be a mild night compared to last night. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
Temperatures no lower than between five and seven Celsius. | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
Tomorrow the risk of a few spots of rain | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
at some point through the morning and into the afternoon, | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Some good breaks developing in the cloud, and it will feel | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
warmer than today despite quite a keen wind from the north-east | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
with temperatures of around 12 Celsius being the maximum. | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
On Saturday, the start of the weekend, it's going to be | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
A lot of sunshine on Saturday and warmer at around 14 Celsius. | :10:19. | :10:27. | |
As we head through the weekend, we are going to find some sunshine, | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
some fine weather lasting into the early part | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
And it may be that we have quite a keen wind around. | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
It could still be quite chilly at night time. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
Some fairly low overnight temperatures. | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Sunshine for the weekend. That's all from the late team. We'll be back | :10:43. | :10:56. | |
with the breakfast news just before half past six. Goodbye. | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
