A man from Torquay who was shot in the head during an armed robbery | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
in Antigua has been safely flown to another island for | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
37-year-old Chris Tester is now being treated in Guadeloupe | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
following the attack at his parent's restaurant on Christmas Day. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
A luxury holiday to Antigua turned into a nightmare. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
37-year-old Chris Tester from Torquay was helping his parents | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
at their restaurant on Christmas Day. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
But a masked, armed robber held them at gunpoint and Chris | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
His sister, Vicky, from Bristol, is anxiously waiting for news. | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
I spoke to my dad, and he just said "I've got some bad news. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Today, he was transferred to another island for specialist care. | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
He's in an induced coma and they're just desperately trying to... | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Because originally they wanted to get him straight back to the UK. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
You know, they wanted to get him to a hospital here because | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
But they were advised it's not safe to fly him. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
It's a long flight and the pressure, it would be too dangerous for him. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
A crowd funded appeal has so far raised more than ?60,000 to fund | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
treatment and to get Chris back to the UK. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
He's a really laid easy-going kind of... | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Even, he literally wouldn't hurt a fly. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Vicky says their parents emigrated over ten years ago but they've never | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
The body of a man in his 60s has been recovered | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
The area was cordoned off shortly after one o'clock today. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Meanwhile, in Paignton, the body of a woman has been | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Torbay lifeboat was called to the scene following reports | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
someone had been seen falling from Paignton Pier. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Exeter's main hospital made almost ?2 million | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Torbay Hospital took almost ?800,000, and Dorset County more | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
The figures came from a Press Association investigation. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Hospitals say the money is invested in front line services, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
But, as Harriet Bradshaw's been finding out, critics | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
The amount made through hospital car parking charges and fines. | :02:34. | :02:49. | |
Here at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, last year, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
almost ?2 million was made through car parking charges. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
And more than ?50,000 in car parking fines. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
It's not the only hospital to feature in a new report today. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Torbay and Dorset County both say money they raise goes | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
into the upkeep of their car parks, and some patients don't pay. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
But, with NHS hospitals across England making more money, | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
We get lots of calls on our helpline about this. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
People are very concerned about it, and the prices seem to have | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
It's almost like an additional tax on people that are | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
So, really recognise this is a sensitive issue for the public, | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
which is why we make sure that we invest our parking income | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
One is that we spend money straight back into patient care. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
And, secondly, we subsidise the park and ride service which is a service | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
that is available for both visitors to the hospital staff. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Not all hospitals in the south-west took part in the survey | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
but the findings are sure to spark more debate. | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
People left behind after an illegal Boxing Day rave on Dartmoor | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
have said they're sorry for any disruption caused. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
They spoke to BBC Spotlight from woodland near Bellever, | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
where clear up work's been taking place today. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Car keys lost, these revellers have no way of leaving Dartmoor. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Stranded and cold, there has been time to reflect. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
It is a shame if it has disturbed some people which, | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
I'm sorry if it did ruin anybody's Boxing Day. | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
As well as the response from the emergency services, | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
an animal charity was called out to collect escaped ponies at risk | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
We all had to drop tools, down family time, and come out | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
and put extra resourcing into gates and ensuring the ponies | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Our big concern was the ponies escaping onto the roads or getting | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Steps have been taken today to restore order. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
The message going out to that community is you are not welcome | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
to come to Forestry Commission land and carry out your activities. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
It's a danger for the members of the public who are here enjoying | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
legitimate activities, like walking, cycling, | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
They're are also putting themselves in danger, | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
they're driving around the woodlands, they're using our | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
woods as a toilet, and they're also disturbing wildlife. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
The last traces of mess are being cleaned up. | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
The focus now moves to preventing raves like this in future. | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
Clare Woodling reporting from Dartmoor. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
Now, it's a time of year when many of us like to get out | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
in the countryside but it's not so easy if mobility is an issue. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Here's our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell on a new all-terrain | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
buggy scheme which has been pioneered here in the south-west. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
You'll get that good viuew when we get around the corner. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
This all-terrain vehicle is being put through its paces on Dartmoor. | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
There are 37 sites around the south-west where people | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
with limited mobility can get out into the countryside | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
I went with my 86-year-old father, who tackled the sometimes difficult | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
I'm used to a scooter but this is a different kind of scooter. | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
The south-west has pioneered this idea. | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
For a nominal fee, you can sign up to the network | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
They vary from coastal sites, where you can get up on clifftops, | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
or you can go to a forest area, like Holden Forest. | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
I'll do you a new list of sites with pubs. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
As I understand, pubs would be more... | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
And you can find details of the charity which supplies those | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
buggies on the Spotlight Facebook Page. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
We've got another cold night in store, with quite | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
a bit of frost around, and some mist and fog patches. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
We should get some sunshine but, for all of us, | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Some of the fog will be freezing fog, particularly across parts | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Could cause some problems on the roads. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
We have high pressure, so nothing really to stir the air. | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
Very light winds through the night, with that mist and fog forming. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
A little bit more on the way of cloud coming into the far west | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
of Cornwall but we start the day with temperatures at | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Some sunny spells through the day tomorrow but in places some of that | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
fog may not lift at all and, where that happens, it's | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
8-9 degrees, I think, will be the maximum temperature. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Little change as we move into Friday. | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
South-west winds so slightly less cold, turning colder again, | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
That's all the news and weather from us, | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
we're back at 10:40pm with the late news, in the meantime, | :07:52. | :08:23. | |
Good evening, the weather is proving hazardous and the fog now becoming | :08:24. | :08:40. | |
more extensive and causing disruption overnight tonight. | :08:41. | :08:42. |
