Good evening. significant -- end of the season.

Good evening. A police investigation's under way

after a body was found by a member of the public in Liskeard in

Cornwall. It was discovered yesterday afternoon at around 3pm on

Lake Lane. The man's body has been identified and his death is being

treated as unexplained. Next of kin have been informed and a postmortem

examination has been carried out. Meanwhile, a man's body has been

recovered from the River Exe in the centre of Exeter. It was discovered

by a member of the public just after 10am this morning. Police have

identified the body as a 56`year`old local man and are not treating his

death as suspicious. Next of kin have been informed and

investigations continue. Specialist nurses are taking part in

a new police scheme to support officers dealing with people with

mental health issues. The year`long pilot called Street Triage is a

night time service. Specialist nurses are based in control rooms to

give advice direct to officers on patrol. If officers are called out

to an incident, nurses can go along to provide on`the`spot advice.

For example, if there were concerns because a person is missing, we

might be able to look into our system and find information that is

specifically relevant to that person, and where they may be at

that current time. Energy bills in the south west

should be ?15 a year lower, after a tax on burning carbon was frozen in

this week's Budget. George Osborne insists the Government's commitment

to support green energy remains unchanged. But some say the move is

another nail in the coffin for the renewable energy industry.

We think it's a bad message for investors because there is a

long`term framework that was supposedly stable and robust, and

George Osborne has basically changed it at the first sign of trouble.

That doesn't give a long`term strong message to investors that low carbon

investment and generation is a place to put their money.

And there's more on that story in the Sunday Politics tomorrow morning

from 11am here on BBC One. The community of St Cleer in

Cornwall have been remembering the fallen from the First World War. A

sapling from an ancient Cornish oak tree was planted to replace a tree

blown down by the recent storms. Johnny Rutherford was there.

It was a large gathering at St Cleer, as the Royal British Legion

and 20 local organisations remembered the war of 100 years ago.

The recent storms have brought down a large beech tree, so it seemed

fitting to honour those in the First World War by planting a special oak

sapling, and dedicating it to them. What made it special was that the

acorn was collected from the Darley Oak ` a local tree which is reputed

to be over 1000 years old. It really is a rather special little tree.

Thousands of poppy seeds were also laid around the edge of the church

grounds ` the Brownies learning about the significance of the

flower. During the First World War, there

were loads of bombs and hardly any plants, and one day the army people

saw a poppy starting to grow. Let's hope that the oak tree will

grow old enough to be around for World War I's 200 year anniversary.

Onto football, and in the Championship: Yeovil led Bolton 2`0

at the break at Huish Park, but had to settle for a point after two

second`half goals from the visitors. In League Two, Plymouth Argyle

slipped out of the play`off places as they were held to a 1`1 draw at

Accrington Stanley. Exeter City secured their first home win in more

than five months as promotion`chasing Fleetwood were

beaten 3`0. Torquay United's relegation fears mounted as they

were beaten 1`0 at home by Newport County.

Onto rugby, and in the Championship: Plymouth Albion were thrashed 45 `

ten at the Rotherham Titans. Last night, Jersey's relegation fears

increased as they were beaten 25`23 at the bottom side Ealing.

Meanwhile, Exeter Chiefs and the Cornish Pirates both play tomorrow.

Let's take a look at the weather now with Elizabeth Rizzini.

Good evening. It's a weekend of sunshine and showers, and there have

been plenty of showers around today, and they are likely to rumble on for

most of this evening, too, possibly turning a bit wintry over the high

ground at times. The showers are continuing to come in on this

westerly breeze. Watch out for some icy stretches into tomorrow morning,

and possibly even a touch of rural frost. These will be the overnight

lows. The wind is gradually going to shift around to be a bit more

north`westerly as we head into tomorrow morning, so the focus of

the showers tomorrow is going to change. They will mostly be confined

to Easter in areas ` the Channel Islands getting away with a mostly

dry day. Sunny spells just about everywhere. Top temperatures up to

nine possibly ten degrees, but we are going to see a rather cold night

on Sunday into the start of the working week.

That's all from Spotlight this afternoon, the next update is at

6.50pm tomorrow evening. Have a good weekend.

The Wind a lot showers around at the moment, still hale and thunder too.

As we turn the wind north-westerly, these areas will bear the brunt of

the showers overnight. A chilly night, a touch of frost in rural

areas. A few showers first thing. Sunshine too. Cloud will bubble up

and showers will develop in England and Wales. The main
