:00:21. > :00:24.Nick, what details have you been able to find out about this

:00:25. > :00:38.The announcement has been made by Admiral Sir Philip Jones, the First

:00:39. > :00:41.Sea Lord. He has said that the restructuring is necessary to meet

:00:42. > :00:46.the challenges of what he has called a dangerous and uncertain world. The

:00:47. > :00:49.Ministry of Defence has in cities this is a reshuffle with no

:00:50. > :00:54.redundancy is necessary, cuts will go through natural wastage and

:00:55. > :01:04.are largely backroom staff which are largely backroom staff which

:01:05. > :01:07.will be redeployed. 100 are affected here at the home of 42 commando.

:01:08. > :01:10.This will become a solely maritime operation unit freeing up posts like

:01:11. > :01:15.heavy weapons specialists. There has been some reaction, people accepting

:01:16. > :01:19.there will have to be changes to the Royal Marines after cutbacks to

:01:20. > :01:21.other Armed Forces like the Army and the RAF.

:01:22. > :01:33.OK, Mike, thank you. After years of fierce opposition,

:01:34. > :01:38.it's now full steam ahead for an ?18 million redevelopment

:01:39. > :01:40.of Exmouth seafront. Council leaders say

:01:41. > :01:42.the investment is vital But many local businesses say it's

:01:43. > :01:46.the end of their traditional Our business correspondent

:01:47. > :01:49.Carys Edwards has the details. Exmouth has been described

:01:50. > :01:52.as a jewel in the crown of seaside resorts, but today's vote backing

:01:53. > :01:54.the council's vision for redevelopment means this

:01:55. > :01:57.seafront could undergo a radical transformation within

:01:58. > :01:58.the next few years. All of those in favour

:01:59. > :02:02.of the application? Final approval was given

:02:03. > :02:03.for the multi-million pound watersports centre,

:02:04. > :02:05.a 70-room hotel, shops, a new restaurant,

:02:06. > :02:11.cafe and play areas. I am very pleased,

:02:12. > :02:12.very pleased indeed. Exmouth is a world-class location

:02:13. > :02:15.and we want it to be a world-class destination,

:02:16. > :02:17.and the important part about today's approval is that it allows us

:02:18. > :02:20.to get on with that now. But protesters at the meeting

:02:21. > :02:22.today describe the scheme as a huge monstrosity,

:02:23. > :02:24.which will destroy After years of fighting,

:02:25. > :02:30.their last-ditch battle has failed. I am concerned simply

:02:31. > :02:33.because of the scale and that it will be in a prominent position

:02:34. > :02:35.on the seafront that I do not believe that many residents

:02:36. > :02:40.in Exmouth really appreciate what is going to happen

:02:41. > :02:42.on this site. You know, it is going to change

:02:43. > :02:46.the character completely. So, the new plans mean the crazy

:02:47. > :02:49.golf course will have to close, along with the boating lake

:02:50. > :02:51.and the amusement arcade. This cafe has been here for 41

:02:52. > :02:54.summers, but this year I'm absolutely devastated,

:02:55. > :03:06.you know, my family have been here for 40 years,

:03:07. > :03:08.we just celebrated our We employ 21 people at the moment,

:03:09. > :03:14.including myself, and I'm trying to find some way to avoid

:03:15. > :03:17.redundancies but if I don't, Well, we are devastated

:03:18. > :03:22.because it is very dog-friendly, lovely people run it,

:03:23. > :03:27.we have been coming here for years. This is such

:03:28. > :03:30.a family-orientated place. The council says 140 jobs will be

:03:31. > :03:33.created and that the changes It also says it will continue

:03:34. > :03:38.to consult every step of the way. The protesters, though,

:03:39. > :03:40.will not give up. We have lost today's battle

:03:41. > :03:43.but the battle goes on. Yes, we shall be there right until

:03:44. > :03:51.they concrete the seafront over. As one pro-councillor said,

:03:52. > :03:59."Let's get on with the job." Now for a roundup of other

:04:00. > :04:03.news in the region... A former Torbay Hospital nurse has

:04:04. > :04:06.been jailed for 19 years and four months for raping

:04:07. > :04:08.a three-year-old girl. 27-year-old George Anderson told

:04:09. > :04:11.the girl he was a doctor while attending a party

:04:12. > :04:15.at the child's home. Devon Partnership NHS Trust says no

:04:16. > :04:18.evidence has emerged to suggest that people in his care were at risk

:04:19. > :04:25.when he was a nurse. An investigation has been launched

:04:26. > :04:27.into the death of a man held at an immigration removal

:04:28. > :04:30.centre in Dorset. The 43-year-old had been

:04:31. > :04:33.detained at The Verne A Home Office spokeswoman said

:04:34. > :04:39.a full independent investigation will be conducted by the prisons

:04:40. > :04:44.and probation ombudsman. There are calls for Devon's Buckfast

:04:45. > :04:47.Abbey to be stripped The Buckfast Abbey Trust doesn't pay

:04:48. > :04:53.tax on its income for Buckfast tonic wine because it's a charity,

:04:54. > :04:57.which the National Secular Society claims is an "abuse

:04:58. > :04:59.of the charitable system". The trust said it was

:05:00. > :05:08.surprised at the complaint. Musicians from around the world

:05:09. > :05:11.are taking part in a unique online challenge to help raise money

:05:12. > :05:14.to save the life of Stephen Sykes is suffering

:05:15. > :05:18.from a blood cancer which isn't responding

:05:19. > :05:22.to conventional treatment. His doctors say he needs

:05:23. > :05:24.an expensive drug which isn't And I hope that you make your own

:05:25. > :05:35.video of your own Acrobat Challenge. They are all doing it,

:05:36. > :06:07.playing a piece of music called The Acrobat online and challenging

:06:08. > :06:12.others to do the same. And all to raise money for this man,

:06:13. > :06:14.a talented trombonist himself, now seriously ill

:06:15. > :06:21.with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Some of them have been

:06:22. > :06:23.really good, in fact, Some have been so exciting that it

:06:24. > :06:30.is making my hair fall out now. Somebody was playing

:06:31. > :06:36.a carrot and a red pepper! Then we had one family

:06:37. > :06:39.from the other side of Wincanton in the garden

:06:40. > :06:41.with their grandchildren and I think The Acrobat Challenge

:06:42. > :06:50.which aims to raise ?90,000 for radical cancer treatment,

:06:51. > :06:56.was the idea of another trombonist from Cambridgeshire,

:06:57. > :06:57.who just wanted to do I was aiming at trombonists

:06:58. > :07:01.and thinking about the internet and the Ice Bucket Challenge,

:07:02. > :07:05.and The Acrobat is a really famous trombone solo,

:07:06. > :07:07.so it just popped into my head, sounded good -

:07:08. > :07:11.The Acrobat Challenge. Apparently the tune

:07:12. > :07:19.is so simple, anyone can do it. Give me time, that

:07:20. > :07:33.is all I am saying. The view over St Ives Bay

:07:34. > :07:45.in Cornwall has been named as one of the best in the country

:07:46. > :07:48.in a national poll. Devon didn't even

:07:49. > :07:50.feature in the top 20. Top honours went to the view

:07:51. > :07:52.from the summit of Snowdon. St Ives is looking

:07:53. > :08:05.particularly gorgeous on this But what makes this view

:08:06. > :08:10.such an eye-pleaser? This is my favourite

:08:11. > :08:12.place in the whole world. For me, it is the

:08:13. > :08:16.iconic St Ives view. The higgledy-piggledy houses

:08:17. > :08:18.and the beautiful harbour. And whether on a smartphone

:08:19. > :08:25.or a more sophisticated camera, people gather

:08:26. > :08:30.here to snap the vista. The colours of the sea

:08:31. > :08:38.water just make it. I must have a thousand photographs

:08:39. > :08:50.and they are all different. You can see the harbour, you can see

:08:51. > :09:01.the boats going in and out, and people on holiday,

:09:02. > :09:03.children enjoying themselves. This, it seems, is a view

:09:04. > :09:19.with a very special place Beautiful day in St Ives, David is

:09:20. > :09:23.here with the weather. Is it going to last?

:09:24. > :09:27.I wish I could tell you that was the case, but unfortunately all good

:09:28. > :09:31.things come to an end. This is a lovely shot across the

:09:32. > :09:34.channel islands. It has not been particularly one and I think the

:09:35. > :09:38.difference tomorrow is that there is more cloud around. There could be

:09:39. > :09:42.some showers. Without the sun, it will feel cooler for all of us and

:09:43. > :09:43.temperatures will be a little bit lower. The changes because there is

:09:44. > :09:46.a weather front coming from the a weather front coming from the

:09:47. > :09:54.North. We are at the end of that weather front so it is not very

:09:55. > :09:57.active at all but it will produce some showers by the end of the night

:09:58. > :10:00.and during tomorrow morning. Before those arrive in the cloud arrives, a

:10:01. > :10:02.good deal of clear sky so it is already quite cold, temperatures

:10:03. > :10:06.down to five or 6 degrees in a few places before those temperatures

:10:07. > :10:09.come back up again. Tomorrow it is rather more cloudy for all of us.

:10:10. > :10:14.There will be showers around but they will be light and fleeting,

:10:15. > :10:21.most of us dry. Some sunny spells developing, a brisk North-Westerly

:10:22. > :10:24.wind, so even though temperatures of 12, 13 degrees, not a great deal

:10:25. > :10:27.different compared to the deep but without the sunshine it will be on

:10:28. > :10:31.the cool side. Thursday, cloud around, capable of producing

:10:32. > :10:36.showers, most getting away with the dry day. Briefly, some sunny spells

:10:37. > :10:40.possible and temperatures at around 11, 12 degrees. As we get towards

:10:41. > :10:44.Easter, we stayed with the same kind of weather, Friday and Friday

:10:45. > :10:48.afternoon especially could be a bit damp, brighter on Saturday.

:10:49. > :10:53.Good night. Thank you, David. That is it for the moment. Join us for

:10:54. > :10:57.the Brexit bulletins from 6:25am tomorrow morning. From the

:10:58. > :11:00.beginning, had a good night, goodbye.

:11:01. > :11:04.rain but it will be brighter later. On Sunday, on the cool side for East

:11:05. > :11:21.itself. Good evening. Grace of all it -- it

:11:22. > :11:27.is greatest of all in Scotland. A weather front is on the move. The

:11:28. > :11:31.rain edging down into south-western parts of Scotland and northern

:11:32. > :11:37.Ireland. Much of England and Wales will have a dry note but not quite

:11:38. > :11:41.as Chile to start tomorrow. Let's deal with the wet weather first

:11:42. > :11:46.thing tomorrow. It will be a damp start for Scotland and Northern

:11:47. > :11:51.Ireland. Heaviest rain on the hills towards the coast and east of the

:11:52. > :11:52.Pennines, not too much rain at
