industry. We are back with the late | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Good evening. Cornwall Council has confirmed it | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
was contacted earlier this year with concerns about a road in Calstock | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
that collapsed on Christmas Day. The landslip at Lower Kelly, in the | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Cornish Village, has left 30 homes without road access. Residents say | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
they had reported concerns to the council weeks ago. The council is | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
carrying out a full survey of the road but says it appears the land | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
has succumbed to extreme heavy rainfall. Louise Walter reports. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
People here are nervous and you can see why ` a section of the road | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
collapsed on Christmas Day, and residents claim it's now slipped | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
further. On the day it happened, just part of | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
the road had gone. By Boxing Day, virtually all the road, up to the | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
pavement, has now gone. And they felt it had reached its optimum | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
fall, but a little more did fall that night. So, obviously, we do | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
feel slightly anxious about being here at the moment. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
?? WHITE Worried, the residents might be. But not surprised. BBC | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Spotlight has been told the council was made aware of concerns some time | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
ago. It has been reported. We have seen it developing, but we have not | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
seen anything being done about it. Of course, it could have been fixed. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
If they had been a bit proactive about it, and actually shored it up | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
before it collapsed. Today, Cornwall Council said the | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
area is subject to maintenance inspections, and confirmed that it | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
had been contacted by a resident back in June. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
We are going back through our records, to look and see if that | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
happened. But as far as this slippage is concerned, this is new | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
to us, and we are dealing with this problem now. That's the priority. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
And, today, there was a full inspection of the area. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
I think the option, today, is to see if we can address the failure we | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
have seen behind us, and how we can prevent any further deterioration, | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
or temporary measures we can put in, and move on to look at the permanent | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
solution. With more unsettled weather | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
predicted, Cornwall Council says special contingencies have been put | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
in place to provide emergency cover. And it will arrange for independent | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
structural surveys on five properties next to the landslip. | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
Police and the RSPCA are continuing to search for a deer believed to | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
have been shot with a crossbow in Plymouth. A 25`year`old man was | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
arrested, on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon in | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
a public place, and has been bailed. Police say it's important they find | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
the animal and are appealing for anyone spotting it in or near | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Plymbridge woods to get in contact. We do have a concern with the | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
welfare of the animal. We need to catch that animal, hopefully alive, | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
and see if we can get it treated. We are working with the RSPCA, and we | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
will call upon the services of a local vet, if we can. If the animal | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
is deceased, we will still need to be able to recover the bolt, to be | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
able to link it to the male that we have arrested. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Freed Greenpeace worker Alex Harris has told Spotlight she has no | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
regrets about her involvement with the campaign against drilling for | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
oil in the Arctic. Alex was among 30 people on board | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
the Greenpeace ship, Arctic Sunrise, when it was boarded by the Russian | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
authorities three months ago. The so`called Arctic 30 were detained, | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
and initially faced prison sentences of up to 15 years for alleged piracy | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
and hooliganism. No, I don't regret it. Never once | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
did I regret it. There were moments of panic, and we were isolated ` it | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
was hard, but not once did I regret my decision to join the Arctic | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Sunrise. I care about saving the Arctic, and I decided to take a | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
stand. I'm proud that I did that. You don't regret the things you do | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
in life, you regret the things you didn't do. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
She'll chase her career as she wants to, as she's already said. If she | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
feels she needs to do that, she'll do it. But hopefully not in such a | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
dangerous environment, such as she's just gone through. Fingers crossed. | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
Older drivers are the focus of a research project in Dorset to see | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
whether free coaching can reduce their involvement in road accidents. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Dorset County Council, which has one of the highest amount of elderly | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
drivers on the road is working with a road safety charity and Warwick | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
University to see whether a series of theory and practical lessons will | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
reduce the county's accidents. The scheme will cost ?6,000 and the | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
initial results will be announced in the Spring. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
It's been another eventful year in the South West sporting calendar. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
The region boasted two world champions and an appearance at | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Wembley. But amongst the success, there was sadness. Spotlight's Dave | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Gibbins looks back at the past twelve months. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
It was They had to beat Brentford in the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
league one play`off final to gain promotion to the second tier of | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
professional football ` the championship. On a Sunday afternoon | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
in May, they duly completed one of their most historic moments, winning | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
2`1. For little old Yeovil, it certainly puts us on the map. There | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
will be a lot more visitors coming to Yeovil, be it for the football, | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
or just to see what's around. Penzance rower Helen Glover added | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
two more titles, this year, to her Olympic gold medal. With new pairs | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
partner Holly Swan, she retained the World Cup trophy after beating | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
allcomers in Sydney, Eton Dorney and and Lucerne. The 27`year`old | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
followed that with her first ever world championship. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
I don't train to try and keep my unbeaten record, I train to be the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
best I can be. I don't want it to feel like a pressure for me, but | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
obviously it's a better feeling to win. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Plymouth College swimmer Ruta Meilutyte proved she's the best in | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
the world. The 16`year`old Lithuanian became the new 100 metres | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
and world champion in Barcelona, 12 months after winning Olympic gold in | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
London. In the semifinal, Ruta also smashed the world record, which was | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
a prelude to a personal total of 14 golds during 2013. Finally, Cornwall | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
sailor Sir Ben Ainslie's magnificent win for team USA in the Americas | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
cup, after they had trailed 8`1 to New Zealand, was tinged with | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
sadness. He dedicated the famous win to his compatriot, Andrew Simpson, | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
from Sherborne in Dorset, who tragically died in May whilst | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
training for the event and in San Francisco Bay. | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
Dave Gibbins reporting there. And tomorrow we'll look back at the news | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
stories which made 2013. Time for the weather now and here's | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
Emily. Quite a windy day through tomorrow, | :06:39. | :06:59. | |
as well. At the moment, we are in between weather systems, so a | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
quieter start to the night but this weather front is set to sweep into | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
the West, bringing some heavy rains tomorrow morning. That does clear to | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
the east, so we'll have some sunshine to the afternoon on New | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Year's Eve. More rain and showers for New Year's Day. That rain did | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
clear quite quickly to the east today, so we had some sunshine | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
through the day and generally a dry start to tonight. Tonight, cloud | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
increasing and some sherry rain ahead of that more intense band of | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
rain arriving in the West into the early hours. Strong winds | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
particularly with that rain man, but fairly mild tonight with | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
temperatures no lower than six degrees. That rain will make its way | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
across the region through tomorrow morning, followed by some sunshine | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
and dry weather for the rest of the day. A few showers, and is a more | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
organised showers tomorrow evening will stop quite breezy through the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
day tomorrow, the temperature is still mild, up to 11 degrees. We do | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
have an early warning out of further heavy rain for New Year's Day. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Another weather system moving in on Wednesday which will bring some | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
heavy, persistent rain, along with some strong winds. He prepared for | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
New Year's Day which will bring a risk of flooding. After New Year's | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
Day, still looking unsettled with some sunshine and showers. That's | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
all from the Spotlight news room for now. I'll be back with the late news | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
just before 10:25PM, but for now, enjoy your evening. | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
Another day off strong winds, heavy rain and flooding. At least things | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
are quiet at the moment. The rain has cleared off and the wind is | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
lighter. There might be some ice in Scotland, but through the night, the | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
wind picks up, lifting temperatures, but more heavy rain pushing in. The | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
rain band is not quite a significant us today, but it will leave surface | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
water flooding. Some heavy bursts clearing Northern Ireland by first | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
light. It reaches the east coast by the time we get to lunchtime, after | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
a few morning showers. The wind is falling lighter, easing down from | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
the gusty nature. A bit of sunshine through the afternoon. The | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
temperature is a bit higher than they should be at this stage of the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
year. Some showers to finish the day in the West. They will push East on | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
a blustery wind. Some of you will end the year on a | :09:38. | :09:38. |
