:00:07. > :00:11.Good evening. A man has been arrested following the death of a
:00:11. > :00:19.baby girl in Devon. The 10-month- old was taken to hospital on boxing
:00:19. > :00:24.day, but died yesterday. Ali Chitty reports.
:00:24. > :00:28.The baby was admitted here to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital on
:00:28. > :00:33.Boxing Day evening. Due to her condition she was later transferred
:00:33. > :00:39.to Bristol where she died yesterday. The girl has not yet been formally
:00:39. > :00:43.identified, but her next of kin were with her at time of death.
:00:43. > :00:53.Police have begun an investigation and a 28 Gerard man has been
:00:53. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:02.arrested. He has been bailed until February. -- A 28 year-old man.
:01:02. > :01:05.A 44-year-old woman has been charged with murder following the
:01:05. > :01:08.death of a man on Portland. Martin Rusland, who was 43, was found dead
:01:08. > :01:11.at his home in Park Road on Wednesday morning. Carol
:01:11. > :01:13.It seems it's been a much better Christmas than expected for some
:01:13. > :01:18.shops in Plymouth. They'd been preparing for the worst, but sales
:01:18. > :01:21.have stayed reasonably buoyant as Jane Chandler reports. Retailers
:01:22. > :01:26.were anticipating fewer shoppers because of the downturn in the
:01:26. > :01:30.economy, but there has been a brighter picture than many expected.
:01:30. > :01:35.Independent traders have done particularly well. Retailing has
:01:35. > :01:40.been very challenging and we were all worried about takings for
:01:40. > :01:45.Christmas. Having a quick round up today of the independent traders,
:01:45. > :01:51.the outcome has been positive. At the other end of the city, it is
:01:51. > :01:57.the same story. The run-up to Christmas was fantastic, we broke
:01:57. > :02:04.records for the most fought for we have had on the 22nd. It has really
:02:04. > :02:09.boy it -- it has been really buoyant. Shoppers are still
:02:09. > :02:13.watching the pennies murder. Definitely. I think it will be the
:02:13. > :02:18.same next year. A we have done a lot more budgeting and waiting for
:02:18. > :02:23.things that we want. That is how we save money. We did most of our
:02:23. > :02:29.shopping before the sale but we had a lot of vouchers. I have been able
:02:29. > :02:33.to buy a coat at half-price. So a better season than expected.
:02:33. > :02:36.Retailers just hope customers will keep shopping in the new year.
:02:36. > :02:39.The roof of a medieval Cornish church could soon be generating
:02:39. > :02:43.power and earning money for its community. Campaigners want to put
:02:43. > :02:46.22 solar panels on the roof of the Church at St Newlyn East. The
:02:46. > :02:52.church is Grade Two Star listed - but the plans have won the support
:02:52. > :02:55.of English Heritage and now just need approval from Cornwall Council.
:02:55. > :03:00.British bobsleigher, Serita Shone, from Dorset is determined to return
:03:00. > :03:03.to the sport after fracturing her spine on a training run. Just eight
:03:03. > :03:07.weeks after the accident, Serita is back in Weymouth. There were fears
:03:07. > :03:17.she may never walk again, such was the damage to her spinal cord, but
:03:17. > :03:17.
:03:17. > :03:20.that's been straightened by metal plates and bolts. There were a few
:03:20. > :03:27.points where I did not think I would make the next day. I thought
:03:27. > :03:32.I was dying. It was bad and I remember saying out loud, am I
:03:32. > :03:36.dying? I think most people think a am mad and saying and should not
:03:36. > :03:38.get back in one of those, but I am. A sell-out 10,500 crowd will be at
:03:38. > :03:41.Sandy Park tomorrow when Exeter Chiefs play the Premiership leaders
:03:41. > :03:45.Harlequins. Full-back Luke Arscott scored his first try of the season
:03:45. > :03:47.for the Chiefs in Tuesday's defeat at London Irish. He's relishing the
:03:47. > :03:57.challenge against Quins, who suffered their first league defeat
:03:57. > :03:59.
:03:59. > :04:04.at Christmas to Saracens. I think there are a lot of teams up there.
:04:04. > :04:07.I would not say there is any one team that is better than the others.
:04:07. > :04:10.There are six teams that can all challenge each other and it will be
:04:10. > :04:13.really interesting come the end of the season.
:04:13. > :04:16.All our Football League teams have early starts on New Years Eve,
:04:16. > :04:19.kicking off at one o'clock. Exeter City and Yeovil Town continue their
:04:19. > :04:22.quest to escape League One's relegation area at Colchester and
:04:22. > :04:23.at home to Bournemouth respectively. In League Two, Torquay United and
:04:24. > :04:28.In League Two, Torquay United and Plymouth Argyle look to follow up
:04:28. > :04:31.wins on Boxing Day. Oxford come to Plainmoor, while the Pilgrims go to
:04:31. > :04:33.Aldershot. Aldershot.
:04:33. > :04:37.Now we're continuing our look back at some of the stories from 2011
:04:37. > :04:40.and today we recall some of the year's sporting highlights. They
:04:40. > :04:49.included spectacular events such as the America's Cup and a fight for
:04:49. > :04:54.survival for our biggest football club.
:04:54. > :04:58.2011 was probably the toughest history in Plymouth Argyle history.
:04:58. > :05:03.The club entered administration and suffered relegation. Staff and
:05:03. > :05:08.players went months without full pay. Peter Reed was sacked in
:05:08. > :05:13.September with Carl Fletcher taking his place on the touchline.
:05:13. > :05:17.Meanwhile Argyll's future was secured in October. Their aim now
:05:18. > :05:22.is to avoid relegation from the Football League. Torquay's
:05:22. > :05:28.promotion play-off at Old Trafford ended in tears when they were
:05:28. > :05:35.beaten 1-0. A there was Premiership glamour at
:05:35. > :05:38.the start of the season when Liverpool visited Exeter. Ending
:05:38. > :05:41.the home side's hopes in the competition. Cornish pirates
:05:41. > :05:47.battled hard to make it to the play-offs where they were
:05:47. > :05:53.eventually beaten. Plymouth Albion it parted ways with their chairman.
:05:53. > :05:57.Former Exeter chief man is the new head coach. It was close, but no
:05:57. > :06:03.but none as Somerset missed out on a trophy for the second year. Tom
:06:03. > :06:08.Daley began the year picking up gold in the synchronised diver. In
:06:08. > :06:16.May, Tom's father lost his battle with cancer. He had been a proud
:06:16. > :06:22.supporter of Tom and no more so than when his son became champion.
:06:22. > :06:28.Exeter's Lee and Hancock read -- defended his title in Shanghai and
:06:28. > :06:34.Olympics. Helen Glover had plenty to smile
:06:34. > :06:43.about this year. She and her rowing partner won gold at two events and
:06:43. > :06:47.silver in Slovenia. Cornwall cyclist won her third world team
:06:48. > :06:54.title in years. The Tour of Britain cycle race rode into the region and
:06:54. > :06:56.the Americas Cup races provided all of the action for spectators.
:06:56. > :07:00.Another busy year. And now the Another busy year. And now the
:07:01. > :07:04.weather. Some rather cloudy and damp
:07:04. > :07:09.conditions heading our way both overnight and they allowed much of
:07:09. > :07:14.tomorrow. It is all thanks to this weather system. We are between
:07:14. > :07:19.weather fronts but it was this warm front that board rain and cloud.
:07:19. > :07:24.The rain eventually clears, but it does remain at misty and murky with
:07:24. > :07:28.health bargain places and very mild for this time of year. Temperatures
:07:28. > :07:33.will hold into double figures for many of us. Tomorrow we keep hold
