9:30 pm
they were small, manoeuvrable, and crews knew local waters. but there was no drill ortraining. where they knew there was a minefield they would send these ships in pairs with ropes strung between them with knots along the length of the rope and the idea was this would catch the moving of the mine. the ships would steer in parallel and zigzag, forcing the mine between the two knots and then it would be severed and destroyed by rifle fire. for trawlermen life would have been extremely tense. they were in imminent danger at any point and never knowing where that would come from. a huge build—up of tension. they had an extremely high mortality rate. nearly a 19% chance of dying doing this work, which is higher than front—line infantry. in december 1916 the cornish trawler, the st ives, hit a mine and sank in falmouth bay. all 11 crew, local trawlermen and naval reservists, were lost. one name is remembered at this war memorial in falmouth but
9:31 pm
the wreck of the vessel has never been found. diver mark and historian dave are on a mission to find it, starting with the original telegram that reported the loss. it states clearly it was blown up by a mine, west, south—west of st anthony. we have scaled off two miles, west south—west, approximately there. we are somewhere off of penzance point. i have dived there extensively in the past. i have also dived looking for the st ives. i have not found any information, any parts, any pieces that are relevant. they have also obtained a copy of the official war office report of the sinking and this gives the location not as west south—west, but as
9:32 pm
south of st anthony. only one letter different but more than a mile from the site where divers have been searching for a century. could it be that a simple typing error has sent generations of divers to the wrong place? what would you expect to see of the st ives? the main thing probably would be boiler parts. small plates with lots of holes in it. if it is intact it will probably be five, six or four foot diameter. if the team's theory is correct there is a challenge in store. there is already a known and significant wreck at this newly identified site. in 1940 an oil carrier, hit a mine in falmouth bay. after partially sinking she was still a hazard to shipping and had to be blown up by the royal navy. it could be that this vessel sank directly on top of the st ives and the divers will have to search for clues
9:33 pm
underneath this massive wreck. or the explosion to sink her may have mangled both ships together. convinced that the two ships had sunk on the same site, the team heads out to falmouth bay. the wreckage spread out over a long area. i want to go to the most northerly part. can wreckage from the st ives be found amongst the remains of the other vessel, a ship nearly four times its size? the divers soon find the wreck of the vessel sunk in 1940, a site almost 100 metres across. the twisted metal evidence of the huge explosion that sent her to the sea bed. decades of tide, corrosion, silt and marine life have taken their toll on the site. it is going to be hard to distinguish
9:34 pm
9:35 pm
diver has told mark about another section of wreck. satellite navigation takes the team to the spot. we have covered this so well, i think it has got to be in this place. finding the separate section of the vessel from 1940s should be easy, finding the wreck of the st ives will be much harder. and just minutes into the dive mark finds what he has been looking for, the distinctive plates of that type of boiler that would have powered the st ives. the holes in these distinctive perforated slabs of
9:36 pm
steel would have contributed to making steam. this wreckage could never have been from the 1940s vessel. mark is convinced this is the last resting place of the st ives and her crew. good to see it, i am glad we have found it at last. it has taken a while to find it. it is nice to have found it. among the wreckage mark has even found call that might have fuelled the steam boiler. it is right next to where the boiler was. they will visit the wreck one more time to pay their last respects to the 11 who died in a fo rg otte n last respects to the 11 who died in a forgotten chapter of the first world war. it is nice to have found it. it could have taken forever. we still have not seen the entire wreck. i am still have not seen the entire wreck. iam happy still have not seen the entire wreck. i am happy that we have found
9:37 pm
it. next, we heads to west dorset and a place once faltered by bbc viewers as one of the top ten market towns end britain but if it is that good why are so many young people moving out that we sent a reporter to find out. a storm's throw from the world—famous a storm's throw from the world —famous jurassic coast lies bridport. who would not want to live here? iam retired, i have got my bus pass, i canjump on the bus to bridport. we are trying to enjoy our la st bridport. we are trying to enjoy our last years as much as we can.|j bridport. we are trying to enjoy our last years as much as we can. i like the buildings, and hopefully my car will not get broken into, that is what i like about bridport. and you can see their point. bridport has a
9:38 pm
lots to offer. the town and its historic harbour art showcased by some of the best scenery in the south—west. the place is steeped in history. the place is steeped in history. the map meet —— map—making dates back to the 13th century. it is easy to see why so many sing its praises. that the town is facing an economic crisis, a crisis rooted in the changing shape of its population or an one in the full year are over 65 of that is forecast to grow to one and four in the next 20 years. people are spotting how great bridport is, moving year to retire, and living longer than ever, that thatis and living longer than ever, that that is only part of what is going on. mark is bridport born and bred, he
9:39 pm
works at the local pub, and a set of year, but it is wrecking a large number of people of working age will move out of dorset in the next ten yea rs move out of dorset in the next ten years and his son might be one of them if there were not so many full buying second homes, bridport would be better for people of the young generation. a lot of people have said they might have to move away, even just across the border, it is much cheaper. such arguments are new. i cannot see any future, job wise. not the way it is going at present. 37 years ago he was filmed ina present. 37 years ago he was filmed in a documentary about the changing face of his hometown. in a documentary about the changing face of his hometownlj in a documentary about the changing face of his hometown. i am hoping to move away from bridport. there is
9:40 pm
nothing for the young people. there is nothing you can do. people have got nothing better to do. more and more retired people were moving in, pushing up the cost of housing, and employment was heading for 12%, it was a tough time to be a teenager. go to the youth club and play badminton, or stay at home. unless you have that money to go to the pub. he peacekeepers to london. but not for long. i thought london, the big city, bright lights and all the rest, it was not what i thought or hoped. i came back. i realised what i had missed in the first place. this is where he eventually found work as a
9:41 pm
young man, the biggest employer in the town then and now. the business has changed hands over the years but nets have been made for generations. now it is high—tech, the military is a big customer, graduate engineers are needed, exactly the sort of young people who could boost the economy of bridport. we have to offer a good package, good benefits, get them to visit the facility and see what we do, and actually getting them here is quite hard. it is a difficult environment to get young and skilled engineered. there are opportunities elsewhere in the country. if bridport or is it passed to one kind of net in the future is in another. this is the old library, 110w in another. this is the old library, now it is a beautifully restored
9:42 pm
cafe and sheared workspace. it is home to a high profile internet based business that helps good causes raise money. the founder wa nts to causes raise money. the founder wants to raise interest in bridport. we need to attract and be part of the attraction of other businesses coming in, and making that decision or realisation that you can run a leading digital business from anywhere outside of one of the major cities of the uk, and by us being here we can attract other businesses to do the same. nobody wants the tough guy and bring that experience and knowledge back to the town. that is exactly what rob hopes for. he has had a good start in life,
9:43 pm
teaching wise, now the ball is in his court to do what he wants to do. if he had to move away i would support him, as any parent would. it isa support him, as any parent would. it is a condition that more people suffer from than you may think and it carries a high risk of suicide. borderline personality disorder is misunderstood and stigmatise. as the government pledges more money for mental health services patients and clinicians see it is time for change. joanna has been struggling with mental health issues for years. she has experienced mood swings, often linked with problems in
9:44 pm
relationships. i have been treated for depression for as long as i can remember, at times that has had a numbing effect and helps me get through, but i knew that was not the entire issue. at times the depth and intensity of her mood swings have brought on dark thoughts and dangerous behaviour. it is exhausting. this is all day, every day, battling with different emotions. sometimes i do not even know what my emotions are, they are so overwhelming. other times i have thought, i cannot live like this any more, dn, day out, being this tired and exhausted. after years of taking antidepressants joanna researched her symptoms herself, and after seeing a sympathetic gp was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. it is often
9:45 pm
marked by attachment issues like joanna has. it is thought this condition affects one in 100 of us, amongst the most serious sufferers there is an estimated 7—10% suicide risk. a recognised treatment is something cold dialectical behaviour therapy, a form of intense counselling, but instead juana was offered a self help course. counselling, but instead juana was offered a self help courselj counselling, but instead juana was offered a self help course. i was referred to self—help, there was nothing about intensive therapy that i was expecting from what i had read and heard about. it is frustrating. it is difficult to know that there is stuff out there but to feel like, you cannot cure it, but there is proof that this treatment can help, ijust want proof that this treatment can help, i just want this opportunity to be able to make myself better and live able to make myself better and live a better life. long waits are one
9:46 pm
issue. misdiagnosis is another problem. one thing thought not to help people with this condition is going into hospital. this consultant psychiatrist left the nhs last year, he believes the diagnosis is often wrongly used as a way of managing access to expensive emergency beds. a phenomenon which occurs by clinical staff making a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder as justification for not admitting to hospital. this is rising in the context of tremendous pressure on beds in the nhs mental health services at the moment, there are not enough beds to support the people who need them. clinicians look for reasons to justify not admitting patients to hospital, one way is to make a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder.
9:47 pm
u nfortu nately borderline personality disorder. unfortunately diagnosis is being used inappropriately and inaccurately, leading to people that may benefit from admission to hospital being excluded from services. carol was diagnosed hospital being excluded from services. carolwas diagnosed last year, from a medical background herself, she was not convinced they had the correct diagnosis. when i we nt had the correct diagnosis. when i went in to see the dr initially i was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. i felt before i went personality disorder. i felt before iwent in personality disorder. i felt before i went in they had an idea of what they thought of me before i went there, idid they thought of me before i went there, i did not feel i was listened to. when i came away from the appointment and received a letter summarising the appointment, it had incorrect information on the letter, for example, around self harm and things i had not had. after one year with the diagnosis carol was told
9:48 pm
that she had bipolar or manic depression. it is a different condition than the other condition, it tends to have... sadly this does not always happen accurately, sometimes the diagnosis is not made inaccurately, i have witnessed in my experience, people experiencing harm asa experience, people experiencing harm as a result of having the wrong diagnosis. on at least two occasions, people have died following incorrect attribution of diagnosis and support, as a result of being excluded from mainstream services. carol is angry at the incorrect diagnosis. it meant i did not get the correct treatment meant that i had extreme mood swings for those two years, swinging between
9:49 pm
episodes of mania and severe depression, which affected my behaviour and the way that i lived my life, which then impacted on every aspect of my life. and the treatment for borderline personality disorder does not treat bipolar. it did not solve anything that was going on for me. carol is now on medication which controls her symptoms and she is able to hold down a responsiblejob symptoms and she is able to hold down a responsible job stop here at oxford university department of psychiatry the art researching both conditions to dry and improve diagnosis and work towards more effective treatment. this dr was pa rt effective treatment. this dr was part of a team that looked at how co nsulta nts part of a team that looked at how consultants diagnosed the condition. in the assessment clinicians were not applying the diagnostic criteria
9:50 pm
for the disorders that they were assessing. despite that many are still happy to make a diagnosis. that is not to say the diagnosis was right or wrong, but it was difficult to know what it was based on, and getting the diagnosis rates and understanding it is to substance —— is important for treatment. now the tea m is important for treatment. now the team is looking in to both disorders. volunteers, some healthy, some with borderline personality disorder, some with bipolar, healthy people on the left—hand graph short queer periods when they were asleep, those with borderline personality disorder short random periods of activity and rest. people with borderline personality disorder can
9:51 pm
be clearly distinguished on the ability of mood as reported using spiteful, also a distinctly disturbed pattern of very distinct from healthy people and from other psychiatric disorders. that is interesting. it is something that one might be able to cheat and targets. something that people with the disorder report as a problem. this enables us to do something new that has the potential to change things. backin things. back in devon, joanna still has little idea of when she will get the therapy she says is long overdue. little idea of when she will get the therapy she says is long overduelj therapy she says is long overdue.” feel like i have got so much potential. my family and friends love me and they do not want to see me throwing my life away, but it is
9:52 pm
ha rd to me throwing my life away, but it is hard to live with what i am dealing with the end, day out, i want the chance to be better and live a normal life. from clinicians and sufferers alike it appears that greater understanding of and greater resources for this complex condition. with mental health higher on the political agenda they hope that that condition attracts the funding needed for effective diagnosis and treatment. that is all for this week. join us again next week when we revisit some of our best stories of 2018. see you then. of the past week has been
9:53 pm
exceptionally mild. we have seen temperatures above average. on friday we had a lot of low cloud, mist and fog. many parts of the country had scenes like that. not everywhere. there were some blue skies and sunshine at times. as we head through the next ten days the trend is that the dry and settled weather will continue at first, things will turn calls through the course of next week. there could be wintry showers as well we start with sunshine in the south—east on saturday. that sunshine makes its way further north—west across the country through the day, it will
9:54 pm
brighten up, perhaps northern ireland and eastern scotland will keep the cloud. it will not be as warm as it has been. a similar day as we head into sunday. a clear night, there could be a touch of frost as temperatures fall just ate few degrees above freezing. one or two misty and foggy patches first thing on sunday and eastern scotland, north—east england, that should clear away, sunday looks like a sunny day across—the—board. a breeze from the south—east. temperatures, fairly average for this time of year. as we look towards the new working week, high—pressure setting across scandinavia, this cold front pushing end from the east. duelling mandate that will bring in more cloud. look
9:55 pm
at those temperatures. back into single figures for most places. it will feel quite a lot colder than it has done in the past week. high pressure sitting across scandinavia, thatis pressure sitting across scandinavia, that is drawing in an easterly breeze, by tuesday that easterly breeze, by tuesday that easterly breeze could bring more cloud and showers. it could be wintry over the mountains in the north. wednesday, similar, cold easterly wind, snow fall possible over the pennines and the mountains of scotland. it will feel chilly. through the middle part of the week we have that cold
9:56 pm
easterly breeze. the wind could change direction in the latter part of the week. expecting snow all over the mountains through the middle of the mountains through the middle of the week. later next week, into next weekend, low pressure is likely to develop towards the south and south—west of the uk. it looks like it's could move in from the south—west, potentially bringing a speu south—west, potentially bringing a spell of milder but more unsettled weather particularly across the southern half of the country. scenes like this possible towards the end of next week, but before that, we have a taste of winter. tonight at 10pm: theresa may ends a difficult week by winning the support of some of the cabinet's leading brexit—backers. michael gove, widely expected
9:57 pm
to resign because of mrs may's brexit plans, is staying on as environment secretary. do you have confidence in the prime minister, mr gove? i absolutely do. i think it's absolutely vital that we focus on getting the right deal in the future and making sure that in the areas that matter so much to the british people we can get a good outcome. the prime minister is still facing a possible vote of no confidence, but the cabinet's newest member warns colleagues against. this is not a time for changing our leader. this is a time for pulling together. making sure we remember who we are here to serve and to help and that is the whole of the country.
