:00:22.:00:24.

Keiron said he'd put his parents, who live near Winkleigh, through the

:00:44.:00:49.

family for the most ever performance of our lives, and I'm partly

:00:50.:00:54.

responsible for that. I need to make sure I take that view is a lot more.

months. It is wonderful to see them and know he is a free man. We did

not know when. It has been amazing. Hopefully, it is over. For her son,

:01:41.:01:47.

is a chance to get home and reflect. Tonight I get to go home and have a

:01:48.:01:51.

cup of tea, and talk about what is being going on. It has been utterly

:01:52.:01:57.

bizarre. The members of the Arctic 30 are back in the UK, and the next

:01:58.:02:04.

few days they will reflect on their journey to the peace of the South

:02:05.:02:07.

West. Search teams in New Zealand, looking

:02:08.:02:11.

for a hiker from Cornwall have found a body. 41`year`old Andrew Wyatt was

A large landslip on the railway between Buckfastleigh and Staverton

:02:34.:02:36.

has forced South Devon Railway to stop running any trains along the

:02:37.:02:41.

line. An estimated 500 tonnes of fallen trees, soil and stone came

:02:42.:02:46.

down onto the line. Staff say they hope to get the line cleared again

:02:47.:02:50.

in time for the February half term holiday.

:02:51.:02:54.

Half a million people over 65 live alone. One in ten reports feeling

:02:55.:03:00.

lonely all the time or often. Two organisations ` Healthwatch Cornwall

:03:01.:03:03.

and Age UK have used the festive period to focus attention on the

:03:04.:03:06.

issue and encourage others to do more to offer support and friendship

:03:07.:03:10.

to lonely older people in the county. Here's our Health

:03:11.:03:15.

Correspondent Sally Mountjoy. The Age UK day centre in Falmouth is

:03:16.:03:19.

a hub of warmth, activity and company. For Peggy Jones it has

:03:20.:03:23.

become a lifeline two days every week, following the loneliness she

:03:24.:03:26.

felt when her husband died nine months ago. I had nothing to do. I

:03:27.:03:33.

had nothing to cook for and I felt I was wasting away, because I had no

:03:34.:03:39.

company there. 34,000 people aged over 65 in Cornwall live alone, and

:03:40.:03:47.

many spend Christmas on their own. We have a focus on it at Christmas.

:03:48.:03:51.

We encourage people to look out for each other. We have a similar focus

:03:52.:03:55.

when the weather goes bad and we say, look out for a neighbour. But

:03:56.:03:59.

actually when the weather is not bad, our neighbours are still

:04:00.:04:01.

lonely. Day centres provide essential contact and friendship,

:04:02.:04:04.

but this New Year we all being urged to share the responsibility of

:04:05.:04:07.

ensuring older members of society don't suffer alone. ?? new line

People living in Calstock in Cornwall are becoming increasingly

:04:14.:04:15.

concerned about how they can get goods and services to their homes

:04:16.:04:18.

following a major landslip on Christmas Day. Engineers fear it

:04:19.:04:22.

could be well into the New Year before they have a solution. About

:04:23.:04:26.

40 homes have been cut off from the rest of the village after a

:04:27.:04:29.

retaining wall collapsed, taking most of the road at Lower Kelly with

:04:30.:04:33.

it. The road is now impassable to vehicles, with about 20 cars stuck

:04:34.:04:37.

on the wrong side of the landslip. It also means deliveries of central

:04:38.:04:40.

heating oil could be delayed for months. Even emergency services

:04:41.:04:50.

can't get through. The Environment Agency has begun a

:04:51.:04:53.

pilot project to clear rivers on the Somerset Levels in an effort to

:04:54.:04:56.

reduce the risk of flooding. Farmers have argued for years that the

:04:57.:04:59.

watercourses have become so clogged with silt that they can't handle the

:05:00.:05:03.

increase in water flows caused by heavy rain. And while they welcome

:05:04.:05:06.

this pilot scheme they say it's not enough.

:05:07.:05:09.

And now here's a look at the weather with Sarah Farmer.

enough. And now Good evening. Still a few

:05:13.:05:15.

showers this evening, tending to ease as we go into the latter part

:05:16.:05:21.

of the night. Temperatures are down to two or three degrees. By the

:05:22.:05:25.

early part of Saturday morning, it will be chilly, maybe a touch of

:05:26.:05:29.

frost. There are still some heavy showers tomorrow. We could hear the

:05:30.:05:33.

odd rumble of thunder. There will be some sunshine in between. It will

:05:34.:05:38.

feel pleasant. Temperatures of 27 or eight degrees through the course of

:05:39.:05:48.

tomorrow. `` seven or eight degrees. There are some sunny intervals. Here

:05:49.:05:53.

is your summary. Heavy showers at times, but weather overnight into

:05:54.:05:55.

Sunday. That's it for now. I'll be back with

:05:56.:05:58.

the late news at around 10.15pm. Good evening. What a week it has

:05:59.:06:14.

been, a stormy start, a law through Christmas, then a wild end to the

:06:15.:06:19.

week, had to keep up, isn't it? This was a vicious area of low pressure

:06:20.:06:25.

last night, but today the winds have been strongest across northern

:06:26.:06:29.

areas, where it is still blowing a gale. That will gradually subside as

:06:30.:06:34.

we go through the night, although a windy night across Scotland with

:06:35.:06:37.

frequent, heavy showers. A few showers whistling in elsewhere, but

:06:38.:06:41.

a lot of dry weather, and temperatures will ease down first
