Good evening. Friends and family of a Devon man | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
shot in the head in Antigua have now raised more than ?64,000 | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
to fly him back to the UK. 37-year-old Chris Tester remains | 0:00:19 | 0:00:25 | |
in a critical condition since the attack on Christmas Day. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
Tonight, his family said words cannot express how grateful | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
they are for all the support. Janine Jansen has the latest. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
A luxury holiday to Antigua turned into a nightmare. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:41 | |
37-year-old Chris Tester from Torquay was helping his parents | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
at their restaurant on Christmas Day. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
But a masked, armed robber held them at gunpoint and Chris | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
was shot in the head. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
His sister Vicky, from Bristol, is anxiously waiting for news. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:58 | |
I spoke to my dad and he just said "I've got some bad news. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
"Your brother's been shot and he's in hospital." | 0:01:01 | 0:01:08 | |
Today, he was transferred to another island for specialist care. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
He's in an induced coma and they're just desperately trying to... | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Because originally they wanted to get him straight back to the UK. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
You know, they wanted to get him to a hospital here, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
because it's better care for him. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:26 | |
But they were advised it's not safe to fly him. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
It's a long flight and the pressure, it would be too dangerous for him. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
Vicky says their parents emigrated over ten years ago, but have never | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
experienced any violence before. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
The body of a man in his sixties has been recovered | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
from Exeter Canal basin. The area was cordoned off | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
around lunchtime today. Meanwhile, in Paignton, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
the body of a woman has been found in the harbour. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Torbay Lifeboat was called to the scene, following reports | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
of someone falling from Paignton Pier. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
People left behind after an illegal Boxing Day rave on Dartmoor | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
say they are sorry for any disruption caused. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Today, the clear-up got underway at woodland near Bellever, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
as Clare Woodling reports. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:14 | |
Car keys lost, these revellers have no way of leaving Dartmoor. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Stranded and cold, there has been time to reflect. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:22 | |
It is a shame if it has disturbed some people, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
which, unfortunately, it might have done. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
I'm sorry if it did ruin anybody's Boxing Day. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
It is only one time in the year. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
As well as the response from the emergency services, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
an animal charity was called out, to collect escaped ponies at risk, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
after gates had been left open. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
We all had to drop tools, down family time and come out | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
and put extra resourcing into gates and ensuring that the ponies | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
were safely kept on-site. Our big concern was the ponies | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
escaping on to the roads or getting out onto the open common, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
which would be very difficult to get them back from. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
So, yes, we have basically lost a couple of days. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
Steps have been taken today to restore order. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
The message going out to that community is you are not welcome | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
to come to Forestry Commission land and carry out your activities. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
It is a danger to the members of the public who are here enjoying | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
legitimate activities - walking, cycling | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
and other recreation in our woodlands. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
They're are also putting themselves in danger. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
They're driving around the woodlands, they're using our | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
woods as a toilet and they're also disturbing wildlife. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:25 | |
The last traces of mess are being cleaned up. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
The focus now moves to preventing raves like this in future. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
Exeter's main hospital made almost ?2 million | 0:03:37 | 0:03:38 | |
from parking charges last year. Torbay Hospital took almost | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
?800,000 and Dorset County more than ?500,000. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
The figures came from a Press Association investigation. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Hospitals say the money is invested in front line services | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
and that some patients are exempt, but critics argue it is immoral. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:56 | |
Now, it is a time of year when many of us like to get out | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
in the countryside, but it is not so easy if mobility is an issue. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
A new, all-terrain buggy scheme has been pioneered | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
here in the South West. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell has more. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
You'll get that good view when we get around the corner. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
This all-terrain vehicle is being put through its paces on Dartmoor. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
There are 37 sites around the South West where people | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
with limited mobility can get out into the countryside | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
and take in the view. I went with my 86-year-old father, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
who tackled the sometimes-difficult terraine with relative ease. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:36 | |
It's lovely countryside. Lovely scenery. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
I'm used to a scooter, but this is a different kind of scooter. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
The controls are so simple. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:47 | |
The South West has pioneered this idea. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
For a nominal fee, you can sign up to the network | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
and then go exploring. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
They vary from coastal sites, where you can get up on clifftops, | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
or you can go to a forest area, like Holden Forest. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
I'll do you a new list of sites with pubs. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
We've got quite a lot with cafes. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
As I understand, pubs would be more... | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
More appropriate, yeah! | 0:05:07 | 0:05:14 | |
And you can find more details of the charity buggies | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
on the Spotlight Facebook Page | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
Let us take a look at the weather now, with David. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Hello, again. Good evening. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:25 | |
Already, it has turned frosty and, I think, for the rest of the night, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
we will also have some mist and fog problems. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Some of the fog will be freezing, particularly across parts | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
of Somerset and Dorset. So, very tricky | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
travelling conditions. Stay tuned to BBC local radio | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
for all the latest updates first thing tomorrow. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
We have got high pressure in charge, at least for the rest of this week. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
At the weekend, however, there is a bit of a change | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
coming our way. More of that later. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
The mist and fog forming very quickly now. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Temperatures bottoming out at zero, maybe dipping | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
into minus figures here and here. Tomorrow, some sunshine. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Certainly, for much of the day, we will see some sunny spells. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
But some parts of Somerset may not lift from the mist and fog. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
That could stick around all day and, there, temperatures | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
struggling up to 4-5 Celsius. For the rest of us, 8-9 Celsius. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
The big change comes at the weekend, through the New Year. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
This cold front will gradually trickle southwards | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
and will introduce Arctic air. So, quite a big change, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Sunday night into Monday. But for the rest of this week, | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
with south-westerly light winds, temperatures just | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
into double figures. Have a good night. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
That is all from the late team. Have a good night. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 |
