:00:19. > :00:21.back home. Keiron Bryan, Alex Harris and Iain Rogers were meet by
:00:22. > :00:24.photographers and reporters at St Pancras Station this afternoon.
:00:25. > :00:27.Keiron said he'd put his parents, who live near Winkleigh, through the

:00:39. > :00:43.of their journey home from Russia. Home at last. A joyful Keiron Bryan
:00:44. > :00:49.and his parents who live in Devon. Freedom, but at what cost? I put my
:00:50. > :00:54.family for the most ever performance of our lives, and I'm partly
:00:55. > :01:01.responsible for that. I need to make sure I take that view is a lot more.

:01:41. > :01:47.not know when. It has been amazing. Hopefully, it is over. For her son,
:01:48. > :01:51.is a chance to get home and reflect. Tonight I get to go home and have a
:01:52. > :01:57.cup of tea, and talk about what is being going on. It has been utterly
:01:58. > :02:04.bizarre. The members of the Arctic 30 are back in the UK, and the next
:02:05. > :02:07.few days they will reflect on their journey to the peace of the South
:02:08. > :02:11.West. Search teams in New Zealand, looking
:02:12. > :02:14.for a hiker from Cornwall have found a body. 41`year`old Andrew Wyatt was

:02:51. > :02:54.in time for the February half term holiday.
:02:55. > :03:00.Half a million people over 65 live alone. One in ten reports feeling
:03:01. > :03:03.lonely all the time or often. Two organisations ` Healthwatch Cornwall
:03:04. > :03:06.and Age UK have used the festive period to focus attention on the
:03:07. > :03:09.issue and encourage others to do more to offer support and friendship
:03:10. > :03:15.to lonely older people in the county. Here's our Health
:03:16. > :03:19.Correspondent Sally Mountjoy. The Age UK day centre in Falmouth is
:03:20. > :03:23.a hub of warmth, activity and company. For Peggy Jones it has
:03:24. > :03:26.become a lifeline two days every week, following the loneliness she
:03:27. > :03:33.felt when her husband died nine months ago. I had nothing to do. I
:03:34. > :03:39.had nothing to cook for and I felt I was wasting away, because I had no
:03:40. > :03:47.company there. 34,000 people aged over 65 in Cornwall live alone, and
:03:48. > :03:51.many spend Christmas on their own. We have a focus on it at Christmas.
:03:52. > :03:55.We encourage people to look out for each other. We have a similar focus
:03:56. > :03:59.when the weather goes bad and we say, look out for a neighbour. But
:04:00. > :04:01.actually when the weather is not bad, our neighbours are still
:04:02. > :04:04.lonely. Day centres provide essential contact and friendship,
:04:05. > :04:07.but this New Year we all being urged to share the responsibility of

:04:14. > :04:15.People living in Calstock in Cornwall are becoming increasingly
:04:16. > :04:18.concerned about how they can get goods and services to their homes
:04:19. > :04:22.following a major landslip on Christmas Day. Engineers fear it
:04:23. > :04:26.could be well into the New Year before they have a solution. About
:04:27. > :04:29.40 homes have been cut off from the rest of the village after a
:04:30. > :04:33.retaining wall collapsed, taking most of the road at Lower Kelly with
:04:34. > :04:37.it. The road is now impassable to vehicles, with about 20 cars stuck
:04:38. > :04:40.on the wrong side of the landslip. It also means deliveries of central
:04:41. > :04:49.heating oil could be delayed for months. Even emergency services
:04:50. > :04:53.can't get through. The Environment Agency has begun a
:04:54. > :04:56.pilot project to clear rivers on the Somerset Levels in an effort to
:04:57. > :04:59.reduce the risk of flooding. Farmers have argued for years that the
:05:00. > :05:03.watercourses have become so clogged with silt that they can't handle the
:05:04. > :05:06.increase in water flows caused by heavy rain. And while they welcome
:05:07. > :05:09.this pilot scheme they say it's not enough.
:05:10. > :05:12.And now here's a look at the weather with Sarah Farmer.

:05:16. > :05:21.showers this evening, tending to ease as we go into the latter part
:05:22. > :05:25.of the night. Temperatures are down to two or three degrees. By the
:05:26. > :05:29.early part of Saturday morning, it will be chilly, maybe a touch of
:05:30. > :05:33.frost. There are still some heavy showers tomorrow. We could hear the
:05:34. > :05:38.odd rumble of thunder. There will be some sunshine in between. It will
:05:39. > :05:48.feel pleasant. Temperatures of 27 or eight degrees through the course of
:05:49. > :05:53.tomorrow. `` seven or eight degrees. There are some sunny intervals. Here
:05:54. > :05:55.is your summary. Heavy showers at times, but weather overnight into
:05:56. > :05:58.Sunday. That's it for now. I'll be back with
:05:59. > :06:13.the late news at around 10.15pm. Good evening. What a week it has
:06:14. > :06:19.been, a stormy start, a law through Christmas, then a wild end to the
:06:20. > :06:25.week, had to keep up, isn't it? This was a vicious area of low pressure
:06:26. > :06:29.last night, but today the winds have been strongest across northern
:06:30. > :06:35.areas, where it is still blowing a gale. That will gradually subside as
