Good evening. back with the late news at 10.

:00:00.:00:08.

Labour has had its majority on Plymouth City Council cut to just

:00:09.:00:11.

one, after one of their councillors decided to quit the party.

:00:12.:00:15.

Alison Casey, whose represented the Moor View ward

:00:16.:00:18.

since 2011, says she will continue as an Independent councillor.

:00:19.:00:20.

It's another blow for the Labour group, just over a week

:00:21.:00:24.

after they lost three of their seats to UKIP in the local elections.

:00:25.:00:30.

Firefighters were called to the centre of Plymouth this

:00:31.:00:33.

afternoonafter a bus caught fire near Bretonside bus station.

:00:34.:00:37.

There were no passengers on board at the time, and the driver was unhurt.

:00:38.:00:41.

The cause of the fire in the engine is not yet known.

:00:42.:00:45.

Thousands of people have flocked to Exeter's

:00:46.:00:46.

Belmont Park this weekend, for the city's annual Respect Festival.

:00:47.:00:49.

Organisers say the celebration of cultural diversity aims to engage

:00:50.:00:54.

the wider community in saying no to racism and all forms of prejudice.

:00:55.:01:01.

I think this helps the city in terms of its community cohesion.

:01:02.:01:04.

It educates people about different cultures, different religions.

:01:05.:01:06.

I think that's the best way forward is to make sure

:01:07.:01:10.

Trelawney's Army marched on Twickenham today,

:01:11.:01:16.

as the Cornwall Rugby team lined up in their second successive

:01:17.:01:19.

But despite a strong start, the thousands of fans were denied a

:01:20.:01:25.

dream finish, as Lancashire proved too strong for the Cornishmen.

:01:26.:01:29.

From Twickenham, Andy Birtkett reports.

:01:30.:01:32.

Cornwall had had one hand on the cup.

:01:33.:01:37.

For the supporters, young and old, who dared to dream, it ended

:01:38.:01:46.

Lewis Vinnicombe scored for the second year running,

:01:47.:01:52.

When he won in the footrace to touch down in the corner.

:01:53.:01:59.

When Jamal Ford Robinson crashed over, after a bulldozing run,

:02:00.:02:03.

But in the second half, Lancashire showed why they have won

:02:04.:02:15.

The red rose refused to wilt, and three tries in ten minutes

:02:16.:02:20.

They completed their remarkable comeback to leave

:02:21.:02:31.

I felt good when we came in at half`time, there was a real buzz.

:02:32.:02:38.

I thought we had a real opportunity to kick on, but obviously there was

:02:39.:02:41.

that ten minutes in the second half that really killed the momentum.

:02:42.:02:44.

We weren't able to come back from that.

:02:45.:02:46.

It probably feels like you want to be 25 years younger

:02:47.:02:51.

and pull on a shirt and go out and smoke one or two of them.

:02:52.:02:55.

They'll have to wait 12 months to put things right,

:02:56.:03:05.

as Lancashire celebrated another County Championship title.

:03:06.:03:15.

Onto sailing and all eyes were on Plymouth Sound today

:03:16.:03:18.

for the start of the Round Britain and Ireland yacht race.

:03:19.:03:21.

The event, which features crews of two on each boat, only takes

:03:22.:03:24.

place once every four years and involves a gruelling 2000 mile

:03:25.:03:28.

Chloe Axford was there to see them off.

:03:29.:03:34.

It's two hours before the race begins and time the crews

:03:35.:03:36.

Unlike some of the other yachtsmen, skipper Cash Smitt,

:03:37.:03:41.

sailing with her partner Rupert, denies any last`minute nerves.

:03:42.:03:44.

It gets too certain point where que sera, sera and you

:03:45.:03:53.

Trevor Drew from Cornwall is also raring to go.

:03:54.:04:03.

It's a very exciting time for us, just setting off.

:04:04.:04:05.

We've done a lot of work prepping the boat and I think we're ready.

:04:06.:04:09.

Who knows what the weather gods will soon you over the next 20 days, and

:04:10.:04:13.

:04:14.:04:21.

At noon, the starting gun is fired from HMS Kent.

:04:22.:04:25.

The race has just started and they've got 2000 miles to go.
