An investigation is under way in Cornwall after the bodies of two

:00:12.:00:15.

men were found at a property in St Austell.

:00:16.:00:18.

Their deaths are being treated as unexplained.

:00:19.:00:20.

Spotlight's Eleanor Parkinson has spent the day at the scene.

:00:21.:00:27.

The bodies of the two men were found in a rented flat in this building

:00:28.:00:31.

The police have not revealed how they died but say

:00:32.:00:34.

Officers from Plymouth have been drafted in,

:00:35.:00:38.

along with a forensic team and a number of fire officers.

:00:39.:00:48.

This block of flats has been sealed off all day while officers

:00:49.:00:50.

search around the building and inside the property.

:00:51.:00:52.

The police say that the two men who died are a 31-year-old local man

:00:53.:00:56.

and a 22-year-old man originally from Plymouth.

:00:57.:00:57.

They say that another man arrested at the scene on suspicion

:00:58.:01:00.

of burglary is not thought to have anything to do with the deaths.

:01:01.:01:06.

Obviously, I do not know exactly what has happened, but, no,

:01:07.:01:10.

it is appalling that something like this can happen.

:01:11.:01:12.

The results of postmortem examinations are expected tomorrow

:01:13.:01:16.

but the fire brigade have already ruled out the possibility

:01:17.:01:19.

There are hopes that a man from Torquay shot in the head

:01:20.:01:26.

during an attempted robbery in Antigua could be flown back

:01:27.:01:28.

Chris Tester was attacked at his parents' restaurant

:01:29.:01:32.

The 37-year-old was due to have an operation today.

:01:33.:01:36.

An appeal to fly him home has raised almost ?70,000.

:01:37.:01:42.

An investigation has been launched after a pilot briefly lost control

:01:43.:01:45.

Ice built up on an Aurigny flight from Guernsey to Manchester causing

:01:46.:01:49.

It happened on the 21st of December as the aircraft was climbing.

:01:50.:01:53.

The flight returned safely to Guernsey.

:01:54.:01:54.

The RSCPA has been called in after undercover filming

:01:55.:02:04.

at a farm in Somerset showed animals being punched and kicked.

:02:05.:02:06.

The farm owner says he was appalled when he saw the film and has sacked

:02:07.:02:10.

Some viewers may find scenes upsetting in this

:02:11.:02:13.

He has just kicked that cow square in the face.

:02:14.:02:36.

She gave birth 1.5 hours before this footage was taken.

:02:37.:02:38.

And the animal rights group which secretly filmed the farm

:02:39.:02:41.

on the edge of Taunton has described it as shocking.

:02:42.:02:46.

I really don't know what I was expecting to see as far

:02:47.:02:49.

as the handling of the animals, but to see tiny calves and cows

:02:50.:02:52.

who had just given birth being punched and kicked and sworn

:02:53.:02:55.

at in such an aggressive manner, I found really shocking.

:02:56.:02:59.

The charity says that it chose to hide a camera at Pyrland Farm

:03:00.:03:02.

in Taunton after a tip-off from someone living nearby

:03:03.:03:04.

When we visited the farm today, a local vet was there as well.

:03:05.:03:14.

He said he was as surprised as anyone when he saw the film

:03:15.:03:17.

I just can't understand his behaviour, because...

:03:18.:03:23.

The farmer himself said he had now sacked the labourer seen

:03:24.:03:26.

to have kicked and punched the cows and calves.

:03:27.:03:29.

But he denied any welfare issues on the farm.

:03:30.:03:32.

We were really appalled by the behaviour of

:03:33.:03:34.

We take great pride in our dairy herd and we all work very

:03:35.:03:41.

And we are very proud of the way the cows are on this farm.

:03:42.:03:47.

The footage has now been passed to the RSPCA.

:03:48.:03:53.

They say that they are investigating, adding

:03:54.:03:55.

that they are concerned by what they see.

:03:56.:03:59.

The Devon dog charity K9 Focus wants people to stop bringing rescue dogs

:04:00.:04:03.

back from Europe while so many dogs here are put down.

:04:04.:04:08.

One couple have defended their decision, saying conditions

:04:09.:04:10.

If you look at the pictures of foreign dogs, I mean,

:04:11.:04:18.

But I think what people don't realise is that in this country,

:04:19.:04:22.

we are putting a dog to sleep every two hours and we just don't

:04:23.:04:26.

So for every dog that comes in, one of our dogs here

:04:27.:04:30.

A surfer from Cornwall has been describing how he was crushed under

:04:31.:04:36.

tonnes of water at a big wave competition in Portugal.

:04:37.:04:40.

Tom Butler was in a World Surf League event when he

:04:41.:04:44.

He was taken to hospital where he was treated

:04:45.:04:49.

for a split ear, bruised ribs and a suspected lung injury.

:04:50.:04:52.

As I landed and fell, I slapped the water really hard.

:04:53.:04:57.

I had an outstretched arm, so then that left all my rib cage

:04:58.:05:01.

exposed to the water and I just slapped really hard and hit

:05:02.:05:03.

basically my ribs and lungs and that knocked all the wind out of me.

:05:04.:05:08.

It's turning cloudier to end the year.

:05:09.:05:16.

The high pressure we have seen keeping things settled for the last

:05:17.:05:19.

Those isobars are tightening a bit, becoming breezier, and then this

:05:20.:05:23.

weather front coming through during New Year's Day

:05:24.:05:27.

turning it rather cloudy and damp for a time before colder,

:05:28.:05:29.

Tonight, we are seeing the return of some mist patches,

:05:30.:05:33.

Some fog here, perhaps, for a time, but the wind does pick up a little,

:05:34.:05:38.

But cloud further to the west is lowering so we could see

:05:39.:05:43.

Temperatures holding out further to the west.

:05:44.:05:47.

Could just be cold enough for a touch of frost

:05:48.:05:49.

But, equally, I think we could see some spits and spots of light rain

:05:50.:05:58.

Temperatures up a bit on today but certainly not feeling it

:05:59.:06:03.

with the lack of sunshine and a bit more breeze.

:06:04.:06:05.

It stays cloudy to end the year as well.

:06:06.:06:10.

The next update from the Spotlight newsroom will be just

:06:11.:06:12.

From everyone here, thank you for your company and enjoy what is left

:06:13.:06:21.

of your night. Goodbye. Hello. Fold and frost has been a

:06:22.:06:44.

feature of the weather in recent mornings in England and Wales,

:06:45.:06:48.

producing a wintry scene with Frost in Oxfordshire this morning. In

:06:49.:06:53.

Highland Scotland, a completely different story. Thank you to our
