:00:08. > :00:10.Good evening, Devon and Cornwall police are investigating three

:00:10. > :00:14.separate accidents over the Bank Holiday weekend in which two people

:00:14. > :00:18.died. All the crashes were on the A30 - one of the region's busiest

:00:18. > :00:22.routes. A man was killed on the westbound carriageway in the early

:00:22. > :00:25.hours of this morning near Redruth. Yesterday, a motorcyclist died on

:00:25. > :00:30.the same road near Okehampton. His pillion passenger was seriously

:00:30. > :00:33.hurt. The carriageway was closed for six hours. There were also long

:00:33. > :00:38.delays on the A30 near Exeter after a motorcyclist collided with the

:00:38. > :00:41.central crash barrier. Government plans to close a licensing loophole

:00:41. > :00:46.for small fishing vessels have been criticised by the Conservative MP

:00:46. > :00:48.for South East Cornwall. A number of inshore boats based in the South

:00:48. > :00:53.West escape restrictions on their catch by being registered and

:00:53. > :00:56.licensed in Wales. Now owners are being forced to fish where their

:00:56. > :01:02.boats are licensed or face limits on the amount they can land.

:01:02. > :01:08.Sheryll Murray says businesses will suffer. We should really be

:01:08. > :01:12.encouraging the inshore fleet to be successful and viable. I just feel

:01:13. > :01:18.that it's very unfair. That's why I will certainly be taking the

:01:19. > :01:21.message to the Minister that we need to rethink this agenda.

:01:21. > :01:24.Campaigners hoping to stop a planned cull of badgers in the

:01:24. > :01:27.South West have been told their appeal will be heard next month.

:01:27. > :01:30.The Badger Trust's challenge to a previous court ruling which

:01:30. > :01:34.supported the Government's trial culls will be heard at the High

:01:34. > :01:42.Court on September 11th. If rejected, the badger cull in West

:01:42. > :01:45.Somerset could get under way within a matter of weeks. Large crowds

:01:45. > :01:48.have turned out in Dorset to see the arrival of the Paralympic flame.

:01:48. > :01:51.Hundreds lined the quay and seafront in Weymouth this afternoon

:01:51. > :01:55.as the flame arrived by boat and was then carried by land train to

:01:55. > :02:05.give more people a chance to see it. Our reporter Hamish Marshall is in

:02:05. > :02:07.

:02:07. > :02:11.Weymouth now. No one was sure how many people would turn out today.

:02:11. > :02:19.Specially after a pretty rotten morning of weather. But organisers

:02:19. > :02:27.needn't have worried, because of a dose of Olympic fever, Weymouth is

:02:27. > :02:35.getting Paralympic fever. It was a water born arrival for flame. 3

:02:35. > :02:42.hundred wave -- 300 waved it off from Portland A poor day of weather

:02:42. > :02:46.relented at the right time. It is fantastic, the Paralympians are

:02:46. > :02:52.phenomenonal. We hoped we would see something and that has put the

:02:52. > :02:59.icing on the cake. The flame was lit from the English flame one of

:02:59. > :03:05.four touring the country. Two local flame ambassadors carried the lamp

:03:05. > :03:10.along a packed seafront. Words can't describe it. It was

:03:10. > :03:15.absolutely, gob-smacked you could say. But seeing people's faces,

:03:15. > :03:19.smiling and waving and showing their support for it. It was

:03:19. > :03:25.ridiculous, I'm just an ordinary guy who 457 to be doing this little

:03:25. > :03:28.job. But it was lovely. I want to thank everyone. But it was lovely.

:03:28. > :03:34.After an official welcoming ceremony, people were keen to take

:03:35. > :03:39.their chance to get up close and personal with the flame. The flame

:03:39. > :03:45.is on public display here for another 45 minutes and there have

:03:45. > :03:50.been big crowds and the festivities will end with some fireworks on
