Police are investigating whether the bodies of a man | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
and a woman found at a farmhouse in Devon are the result of a murder | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The married couple have been named locally as Nicola and Michael Beck. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Scenes of crime officers and police search teams have spent | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
the day at the scene, near Dunkeswell - from there, | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Remote, rural, but tonight, this is the scene of a major | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
After being contacted by someone with concerns, the body | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
of a man and a woman were found at this farmhouse. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
The news of the deaths have shocked those living close by. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
It was a tremendous shock and surprise. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
It is something you do not expect on your doorstep. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
It was such a shock when we heard the news. | :01:01. | :01:20. | |
Officers say they are looking into whether | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
this was a murder followed by a suicide. | :01:23. | :01:23. | |
The couple involved where named locally as Nicola and Michael | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Beck, who had lived at the property for around two decades. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
We have been searching the properties for evidence. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
We are dealing with family members of the two individuals. | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
We have trained family liaison officers helping them. | :01:41. | :01:50. | |
Neighbours say the couple had been intending to sell | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
Police say they are not looking for anyone else in | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
connection with the deaths, abut are asking anyone | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
with information to come forward and contact them. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
The chronic lack of support for homeless people with drink | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
and drug addictions in Cornwall is becoming a desperate situation, | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
according to the Mayor of Truro. Rob Nolan is now calling | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Addaction, a drug and alcohol charity, says it saw a 20% rise | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
in referrals to their Cornish service last year. | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
Clare Woodling has been speaking to rough sleepers, | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
who say they've been turned away from shelters due to their alcohol | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Sonia is used to getting by on the streets. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
It is not the only habit she has, though. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
If we did not drink, we would be housed within a week. | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
Any of us who have lived here a long time, we get put | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
to the back of the queue, cos they just think | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
She is not alone in not finding shelter due to addiction problems. | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
They see it and they choose to ignore it. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Or they go, "It will be OK, it will sort itself out. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
Of course it is not going to sort itself out. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
The shortage is something the Mayor of Truro wants to see | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
We have a desperately urgent need for some sort of provision. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Some sort of shelter for people with drug and alcohol issues. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
There are some homeless people here who are looked after, | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
and those doing so do a fabulous job, but people | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
with drug and alcohol issues, they cannot go into the shelters | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
at night, so end up sleeping on the streets. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
This has been going on for three months now. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
They are now setting up tents. They are setting up home here. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
We need a hostel somewhere, some accommodation, for them - | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
somewhere they can go in the evenings and be looked after. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
As the light fades, so the temperature falls | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
There is bigger chance of people dying on the streets | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
There is the risk of increased, if they are drug users, | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
That, combined with the cold, could lead to overdosing and death, etc. | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
Also, just frustration from the street homeless community. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Frustration does not quite do it justice. | :04:17. | :04:17. | |
Absolutely disgusted that human beings can treat homeless | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
Being an old lady myself, and a mother and grandmother, | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
We understand that temperatures here could fall | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
and the people in that package, the rough sleepers, will be expected | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
to bed down on hard floors out on the city tonight. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
The society has said it will work with other | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
services offering help for rough sleepers. | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
Derriford Hospital is tonight on black alert. | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
The hospital has declared itself at the highest level | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
in the escalation system, saying the pressure on its services | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
is currently so great, there is potential for patient care | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
The Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske, and Yeovil Hospital | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
As the authorities in France begin slaughtering up to a million ducks, | :05:19. | :05:30. | |
to try to halt the spread of bird flu, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
poultry keepers here are facing even tighter controls. | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
All poultry must now be kept indoors until the end of February. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
That includes so-called backyard farmers - | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
people who may only keep a small number of chickens, but who may not | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
be aware of the risks of not keeping them housed. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
Traders in one Cornish town are warning that a major shake up | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
of their business rates could be the final straw for many of them. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
From April, some shops in St Ives will have to pay hundreds | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Ministers say the changes make the system fairer, | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
and nearly three quarters of companies nationwide will see | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
But there are warnings some could be forced out of business. | :06:03. | :06:19. | |
They perhaps see that St Ives is the jewel in the crown | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
of Cornwall and so it's buoyant and rich. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
It's very quiet in the winter months still. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
A lot of businesses, you know, will struggle to survive. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
A pioneering genetic test has pinpointed a rare immune deficiency | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Matthew Knight has suffered from one infection since he was a baby. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
The success of the test has made it possible | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
to boost his immunity and help him fight off future illnesses. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
The team responsible believe their work could benefit | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
many more people, paving the way for a routine genetic test | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
for all NHS patients with rare diseases in the future. | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
Some have compared what we are doing is the same as the man landing on | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
the moon. I think we are moving out into the reality of delivering tests | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
that we would not have thought possible a decade and a half ago | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
into clinical care and indeed within Matthew's case within two weeks we | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
were able to create a result and give the family information that had | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
previously been elusive. An 18-foot high soldier, | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
made entirely from scrap metal, Clinton Rogers has been to see | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
the Tommy, at the forge where he was welded together | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
in honour of the men who served He is a monument to bravery, but | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
also recycling. At the door said Ford where he was created, they | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
pieced together, well, pretty much everything they could get their | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
hands on. From car parts to spammers. From chains to garden | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
forks. And the result is truly impressive. Only when you stand next | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
to the sculpture do you get a true sense of its scale. It powers the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
bubbly to 5.8 metres. It weighs one and a half tonnes. It took three and | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
a half months to build. It is called the Haunting. It has been made for a | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
local man who wants to remain anonymous. It is a commission for a | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
local opera, actually. He came to us and asked if we could build a | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
ghostly figure of a First World War soldier. So that is what we have up | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
with and I think it fits the bill. It will be featured in a book. At | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
the moment, that is as much as I can say. Well, as it stands, proudly | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
waiting for delivery, the sculpture is certainly attracting admiring | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
glances from passers-by. I think it is just incredible. The more you | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
look at it, you see so many little bits that you missed and it is | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
absolutely wonderful. I think it is absolutely beautiful. Though younger | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
admirers really are not sure who he is. What do you call him? The BFG. | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
Oh, you think he is the BFG. Well, I think he might be. A friendly giant | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
or a hero? Well, that depends what side you are on. The Content will | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
eventually go on show. Where and when that will be for now remains a | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
mystery. Fabulous. Time for the weather. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Hello. Good evening. Temperatures right now are already a feudal | :09:34. | :09:42. | |
freezing in some places. For tomorrow, generally a lot more cloud | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
coming our way, so limited brightness, mainly in the east and | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
some patchy rain turning up as well. All courtesy of a couple of weather | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
fronts that are gradually, slowly creeping up towards us. Slow | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
progress on that, but they are not particularly active. It is like an | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
patchy. Overnight, the main frost risk is to the east. Milder air | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
across the world western parts of England and particularly across | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
Cornwall. Temperatures between 5-9 C. Still some places getting | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
down to minus figures. Tomorrow we have some brightness in the East, | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
but generally the cloud will win. It will produce fabrics of rain from | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
late morning onwards. It is patchy but it will be with us. It | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
introduces milder error and a lot of low cloud. On Saturday, we may end | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
up with very misty conditions. Mild but rather cloudy along with | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
Saturday and Sunday a bit of brightness coming through from time | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
to time. Have a good evening. David, thank you very much. We will be back | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
at breakfast. From as all of the late team, have a good night. | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
creeping up by a notch or two, 10, maybe nine Celsius. Here is Louise | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
with the national picture. Won't it cold and frosty this | :11:02. | :11:13. | |
morning? The coldest night of the winter so far in England. Down to | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
minus 8 Celsius. But widely, the temperatures below freezing. Through | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
the night, cloud and rain, so temperatures for | :11:25. | :11:25. |
