here on BBC One we can now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:12.

Good evening. Friends and family of a Devon man

:00:13.:00:15.

shot in the head in Antigua have now raised more than ?64,000

:00:16.:00:17.

to fly him back to the UK. 37-year-old Chris Tester remains

:00:18.:00:23.

in a critical condition since the attack on Christmas Day.

:00:24.:00:27.

Tonight, his family said words cannot express how grateful

:00:28.:00:29.

they are for all the support. Janine Jansen has the latest.

:00:30.:00:34.

A luxury holiday to Antigua turned into a nightmare.

:00:35.:00:39.

37-year-old Chris Tester from Torquay was helping his parents

:00:40.:00:41.

at their restaurant on Christmas Day.

:00:42.:00:43.

But a masked, armed robber held them at gunpoint and Chris

:00:44.:00:46.

His sister Vicky, from Bristol, is anxiously waiting for news.

:00:47.:00:56.

I spoke to my dad and he just said "I've got some bad news.

:00:57.:00:59.

"Your brother's been shot and he's in hospital."

:01:00.:01:06.

Today, he was transferred to another island for specialist care.

:01:07.:01:11.

He's in an induced coma and they're just desperately trying to...

:01:12.:01:13.

Because originally they wanted to get him straight back to the UK.

:01:14.:01:16.

You know, they wanted to get him to a hospital here,

:01:17.:01:19.

But they were advised it's not safe to fly him.

:01:20.:01:26.

It's a long flight and the pressure, it would be too dangerous for him.

:01:27.:01:30.

Vicky says their parents emigrated over ten years ago, but have never

:01:31.:01:33.

The body of a man in his sixties has been recovered

:01:34.:01:45.

from Exeter Canal basin. The area was cordoned off

:01:46.:01:47.

around lunchtime today. Meanwhile, in Paignton,

:01:48.:01:49.

the body of a woman has been found in the harbour.

:01:50.:01:51.

Torbay Lifeboat was called to the scene, following reports

:01:52.:01:54.

of someone falling from Paignton Pier.

:01:55.:02:00.

People left behind after an illegal Boxing Day rave on Dartmoor

:02:01.:02:02.

say they are sorry for any disruption caused.

:02:03.:02:04.

Today, the clear-up got underway at woodland near Bellever,

:02:05.:02:06.

Car keys lost, these revellers have no way of leaving Dartmoor.

:02:07.:02:14.

Stranded and cold, there has been time to reflect.

:02:15.:02:20.

It is a shame if it has disturbed some people,

:02:21.:02:22.

which, unfortunately, it might have done.

:02:23.:02:23.

I'm sorry if it did ruin anybody's Boxing Day.

:02:24.:02:26.

As well as the response from the emergency services,

:02:27.:02:33.

an animal charity was called out, to collect escaped ponies at risk,

:02:34.:02:36.

We all had to drop tools, down family time and come out

:02:37.:02:43.

and put extra resourcing into gates and ensuring that the ponies

:02:44.:02:48.

were safely kept on-site. Our big concern was the ponies

:02:49.:02:51.

escaping on to the roads or getting out onto the open common,

:02:52.:02:54.

which would be very difficult to get them back from.

:02:55.:02:56.

So, yes, we have basically lost a couple of days.

:02:57.:02:59.

Steps have been taken today to restore order.

:03:00.:03:02.

The message going out to that community is you are not welcome

:03:03.:03:05.

to come to Forestry Commission land and carry out your activities.

:03:06.:03:08.

It is a danger to the members of the public who are here enjoying

:03:09.:03:11.

legitimate activities - walking, cycling

:03:12.:03:12.

and other recreation in our woodlands.

:03:13.:03:14.

They're are also putting themselves in danger.

:03:15.:03:15.

They're driving around the woodlands, they're using our

:03:16.:03:17.

woods as a toilet and they're also disturbing wildlife.

:03:18.:03:23.

The last traces of mess are being cleaned up.

:03:24.:03:26.

The focus now moves to preventing raves like this in future.

:03:27.:03:35.

Exeter's main hospital made almost ?2 million

:03:36.:03:37.

from parking charges last year. Torbay Hospital took almost

:03:38.:03:39.

?800,000 and Dorset County more than ?500,000.

:03:40.:03:41.

The figures came from a Press Association investigation.

:03:42.:03:42.

Hospitals say the money is invested in front line services

:03:43.:03:45.

and that some patients are exempt, but critics argue it is immoral.

:03:46.:04:02.

Now, it is a time of year when many of us like to get out

:04:03.:04:05.

in the countryside, but it is not so easy if mobility is an issue.

:04:06.:04:08.

A new, all-terrain buggy scheme has been pioneered

:04:09.:04:10.

Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell has more.

:04:11.:04:14.

You'll get that good view when we get around the corner.

:04:15.:04:16.

This all-terrain vehicle is being put through its paces on Dartmoor.

:04:17.:04:19.

There are 37 sites around the South West where people

:04:20.:04:21.

with limited mobility can get out into the countryside

:04:22.:04:24.

and take in the view. I went with my 86-year-old father,

:04:25.:04:26.

who tackled the sometimes-difficult terraine with relative ease.

:04:27.:04:35.

It's lovely countryside. Lovely scenery.

:04:36.:04:36.

I'm used to a scooter, but this is a different kind of scooter.

:04:37.:04:39.

The South West has pioneered this idea.

:04:40.:04:47.

For a nominal fee, you can sign up to the network

:04:48.:04:50.

They vary from coastal sites, where you can get up on clifftops,

:04:51.:04:57.

or you can go to a forest area, like Holden Forest.

:04:58.:04:59.

I'll do you a new list of sites with pubs.

:05:00.:05:02.

As I understand, pubs would be more...

:05:03.:05:06.

And you can find more details of the charity buggies

:05:07.:05:15.

Let us take a look at the weather now, with David.

:05:16.:05:23.

Hello, again. Good evening.

:05:24.:05:23.

Already, it has turned frosty and, I think, for the rest of the night,

:05:24.:05:27.

we will also have some mist and fog problems.

:05:28.:05:29.

Some of the fog will be freezing, particularly across parts

:05:30.:05:31.

of Somerset and Dorset. So, very tricky

:05:32.:05:33.

travelling conditions. Stay tuned to BBC local radio

:05:34.:05:37.

for all the latest updates first thing tomorrow.

:05:38.:05:41.

We have got high pressure in charge, at least for the rest of this week.

:05:42.:05:44.

At the weekend, however, there is a bit of a change

:05:45.:05:47.

coming our way. More of that later.

:05:48.:05:48.

The mist and fog forming very quickly now.

:05:49.:05:50.

Temperatures bottoming out at zero, maybe dipping

:05:51.:05:52.

into minus figures here and here. Tomorrow, some sunshine.

:05:53.:05:54.

Certainly, for much of the day, we will see some sunny spells.

:05:55.:05:57.

But some parts of Somerset may not lift from the mist and fog.

:05:58.:06:00.

That could stick around all day and, there, temperatures

:06:01.:06:02.

struggling up to 4-5 Celsius. For the rest of us, 8-9 Celsius.

:06:03.:06:07.

The big change comes at the weekend, through the New Year.

:06:08.:06:10.

This cold front will gradually trickle southwards

:06:11.:06:12.

and will introduce Arctic air. So, quite a big change,

:06:13.:06:14.

Sunday night into Monday. But for the rest of this week,

:06:15.:06:17.

with south-westerly light winds, temperatures just

:06:18.:06:20.

That is all from the late team. Have a good night.

:06:21.:06:39.

As we have seen today, the weather can be a thing of real beauty, but

:06:40.:06:45.

also a real menace. Lovely shot taken this afternoon in Berkshire,

:06:46.:06:50.

the sun lighting up the hillsides, with dense fog. And that fog is

:06:51.:06:55.

dangerous. It is becoming up right now, with warnings out from the Met

:06:56.:07:02.

Office. -- it is thickening right now. Not a pretty sight across

:07:03.:07:06.

England, East Wales tomorrow morning. Dense patches of freezing

:07:07.:07:13.

fog. Nor for all. Slippery surfaces. Take it easy on the roads. In the

:07:14.:07:18.

far north of England, and Scotland and Northern Ireland, not so chilly.

:07:19.:07:22.

And some drizzly rain across the Western Highlands and the islands.

:07:23.:07:26.

These continued through the day on a brisk wind. Elsewhere, the winds

:07:27.:07:30.

will be liked and that is the problem, because there was no wind

:07:31.:07:33.

to shift that fog. Where do you have got fog, it could stick around for

:07:34.:07:38.

much of that of. In some spots, it should not feel too

:07:39.:07:39.
