Good evening, Devon and Cornwall police are investigating three

:00:08.:00:10.

separate accidents over the Bank Holiday weekend in which two people

:00:10.:00:14.

died. All the crashes were on the A30 - one of the region's busiest

:00:14.:00:18.

routes. A man was killed on the westbound carriageway in the early

:00:18.:00:22.

hours of this morning near Redruth. Yesterday, a motorcyclist died on

:00:22.:00:25.

the same road near Okehampton. His pillion passenger was seriously

:00:25.:00:30.

hurt. The carriageway was closed for six hours. There were also long

:00:30.:00:33.

delays on the A30 near Exeter after a motorcyclist collided with the

:00:33.:00:38.

central crash barrier. Government plans to close a licensing loophole

:00:38.:00:41.

for small fishing vessels have been criticised by the Conservative MP

:00:41.:00:46.

for South East Cornwall. A number of inshore boats based in the South

:00:46.:00:48.

West escape restrictions on their catch by being registered and

:00:48.:00:53.

licensed in Wales. Now owners are being forced to fish where their

:00:53.:00:56.

boats are licensed or face limits on the amount they can land.

:00:56.:01:02.

Sheryll Murray says businesses will suffer. We should really be

:01:02.:01:08.

encouraging the inshore fleet to be successful and viable. I just feel

:01:08.:01:12.

that it's very unfair. That's why I will certainly be taking the

:01:13.:01:18.

message to the Minister that we need to rethink this agenda.

:01:19.:01:21.

Campaigners hoping to stop a planned cull of badgers in the

:01:21.:01:24.

South West have been told their appeal will be heard next month.

:01:24.:01:27.

The Badger Trust's challenge to a previous court ruling which

:01:27.:01:30.

supported the Government's trial culls will be heard at the High

:01:30.:01:34.

Court on September 11th. If rejected, the badger cull in West

:01:34.:01:42.

Somerset could get under way within a matter of weeks. Large crowds

:01:42.:01:45.

have turned out in Dorset to see the arrival of the Paralympic flame.

:01:45.:01:48.

Hundreds lined the quay and seafront in Weymouth this afternoon

as the flame arrived by boat and was then carried by land train to

Weymouth now. No one was sure how many people would turn out today.

:02:07.:02:11.

Specially after a pretty rotten morning of weather. But organisers

:02:11.:02:19.

needn't have worried, because of a dose of Olympic fever, Weymouth is

:02:19.:02:27.

getting Paralympic fever. It was a water born arrival for flame. 3

relented at the right time. It is fantastic, the Paralympians are

phenomenonal. We hoped we would see something and that has put the

:02:46.:02:52.

icing on the cake. The flame was lit from the English flame one of

:02:52.:02:59.

four touring the country. Two local flame ambassadors carried the lamp

:02:59.:03:05.

along a packed seafront. Words can't describe it. It was

:03:05.:03:10.

absolutely, gob-smacked you could say. But seeing people's faces,

:03:10.:03:15.

smiling and waving and showing their support for it. It was

:03:15.:03:19.

ridiculous, I'm just an ordinary guy who 457 to be doing this little

job. But it was lovely. I want to thank everyone. But it was lovely.

:03:25.:03:28.

After an official welcoming ceremony, people were keen to take

:03:28.:03:34.

their chance to get up close and personal with the flame. The flame

:03:35.:03:39.

is on public display here for another 45 minutes and there have

:03:39.:03:45.

been big crowds and the festivities will end with some fireworks on

:03:45.:03:50.

:04:00.:04:03.

of League One after a resounding victory at Scunthorpe United over

:04:03.:04:06.

the Bank Holiday weekend. Exeter City and Torquay United also won,

:04:06.:04:11.

but Plymouth Argyle are still looking for their first success.

:04:12.:04:17.

looking for their first success. Here's Spotlight's Dave Gibbins.

:04:17.:04:22.

Yeovil are enjoying their highest position as a Football League club.

:04:22.:04:29.

While going top of League One, they sent Scunthorpe to the bottom after

:04:29.:04:39.

beating them 4-0. The goals preserved their unbeaten start.

:04:39.:04:49.
:04:49.:04:57.

Exeter City are sixth in League Two after beating Accrington 3-0. Two

:04:57.:05:05.

places behind Exeter are Torquay. They beat doch dale 4-2. --

:05:15.:05:22.

Downes was later sent off, but Epoke came to the rescue by saving

:05:22.:05:26.

the kick. Plymouth couldn't prevent Oxford United from leading the

:05:26.:05:35.

division with a 100% record. They beat The Pilgrims 2-1. But they did

:05:35.:05:41.

score a lovely free kick. Plymouth are now next to the bottom. Here

:05:41.:05:50.

with the latest weather details is Emily. Hello, after some wet

:05:50.:05:54.

weather for the bank holiday, we have some dry weather for the week

:05:54.:05:58.

ahead. The rain we have seen today is clearing through this evening.

:05:58.:06:03.

We did see some heavy down pours with this front. But it is making

:06:03.:06:07.

its way east and it should dry up tonight. So clearing from the

:06:07.:06:12.

Channel Islands. Behind that rain band some drier and clearer skies.

:06:12.:06:18.

A few showers moving in during the early hours as well. But the winds

:06:18.:06:23.

easing off after a breezy day today. Temperatures around 16 Celsius. So

:06:23.:06:26.

a mild night. Tomorrow morning it should be a brighter start. There

:06:26.:06:30.

will be a few showers around and during the afternoon a few sharper

:06:30.:06:34.

showers as well. But away from the showers there should be some

:06:34.:06:39.

sunshine. The winds picking up in the south coast. But in the

:06:40.:06:43.

sunshine it should feel pleasant with highs around 20 Celsius. For

:06:43.:06:47.

the Channel Islands it should be a drier day. Cloudy at first, but

:06:47.:06:52.

some sunshine developing later on throughout the day. At sea the

:06:52.:06:57.

winds from the south-west will be a force four to five, with some

:06:57.:07:01.

showers and mod ra rate or good visibility. By Wednesday we will

:07:01.:07:05.

see some heavy showers for a time. Tpwhau should clear away with drier

:07:05.:07:09.

weather by the end of the day and the second half of the week we

:07:09.:07:15.

should see some high pressure and it will be sunny. But a brisk
