Good evening. That's it.

Good evening. Worshippers in one of the worst hit

villages on the Somerset Levels gathered for the first time today

since flooding closed their church. The Bishop called them the

resurrection community after all they've been through and urged them

to hold politicians to account as to hold politicians to account as

they rebuild their lives. Here's Sally Challoner.

Decimated by flooding three months ago, today, the church rose again,

throwing open the doors to hts long`suffering congregation. When we

talk about resurrection and hope this community shows what is

possible. You go through thd dark possible. You go through thd dark

times and you come out and you think times and you come out and xou think

there is life, there is help, and there is a future. Even if ht

there is life, there is help, and there is a future. Even if it looks

there is a future. Even if ht looks likely different.

For this day that speaks of faith and courage... The pews filling up

for the first time this sprhng, for the first time this spring,

dried out but still needing attention. The pews need to be

sorted out on the building needs to be dry for it to get back to its

previous condition and the organising is difficult. Thdre

previous condition and the organising is difficult. There is

organising is difficult. Thdre is talk of tens of thousands of pounds

to repair it. That is the essential work. Being as it is Easter and the

meaning of Easter and the villages racing again, they do tie in

together and it is very nicd, yes. together and it is very nice, yes.

It is great to be able to come back together again. The Bishop of

Taunton gave this candle to signify a community that stood together in a

matter what. `` no matter what. There will be plenty of argtments as

to why this year cannot be allowed to why this year cannot be `llowed

to happen again. Politicians and others have promised to much. But

you had the community. You are others have promised to much. But

you had the community. You `re the you had the community. You `re the

resurrection community who must you had the community. You are the

resurrection community who lust hold resurrection community who lust hold

them to account. It was indeed a day of hope for this

much dispersed clock. Happy that something is at least I getting back

to normal and in the right place to ask for this rain to stop.

Police in Devon say they've prevented two illegal raves taking

place this weekend. Officers from Operation De`Rig stopped events at

There was a special Easter delivery for young patients at Derriford

Hospital in Plymouth today. 15`year`old Jasmine Bayly wdnt

Hospital in Plymouth today. 15`year`old Jasmine Bayly went from

bed to bed handing out chocolate eggs to children unable to enjoy the

eggs to children unable to dnjoy the holidays at home. More remarkably

she's only recently completed holidays at home. More remarkably

she's only recently completdd months she's only recently completdd months

of treatment herself ` for a brain tumour. John Danks reports.

A trolley full of chocolate is on its way to the children's w`rd.

A trolley full of chocolate is on its way to the children's ward. Just

its way to the children's w`rd. Just the tonic for poorly little ones

stuck in hospital over Easter. 15`year`old Jasmine has spent a lot

of time in hospital herself and that has sparked an idea. When I was in

on special occasions like this and I was sad and I suppose I just wanted

to do something to make them was sad and I suppose I just wanted

to do something to make them smile, like for when I didn't get `nything

like for when I didn't get anything like that. She's got

neurofibromatosis one, which means the body's got a propensity to

develop tumours and hence a brain tumour. The brain tumour, lhke

develop tumours and hence a brain tumour. The brain tumour, like I

said, is inoperable, so she has chemotherapy to stabilise it. It

finished in December and everything's good at the molent

everything's good at the moment. Jasmine collected more than 100

Easter eggs, all donated by local businesses, a supermarket and Hele's

School in Plymouth. Enough to ensure both patients and their siblings

could have a treat. We do pride ourselves in trying to do that

little bit extra for children ourselves in trying to do that

little bit extra for childrdn when little bit extra for children when

they are inpatients and this is probably where the idea of the

Easter eggs came from, to try and make people be happy. Although

they're in hospital and feeling sad, they can see Jasmine in her onesie

delivering Easter eggs and ht they can see Jasmine in her onesie

delivering Easter eggs and ht makes it a nicer place. So for those who

can't go out on an Easter egg hunt, very special delivery service.

What an amazing thing to do. On to sport now and in rugby, Jersey face

a growing risk of relegation from the Championship following

yesterday's defeat by London Scottish. The game ended 17`25 but

because Plymouth Albion also lost, the two results combined sent the

Islanders to the bottom of the table. They have to win next week to

stand any chance of avoiding the drop.

I know how hard the players worked this week and I know how much effort

they put in on the pitch today. We didn't get the result. It c`me down

to probably two or three crtcial areas at crucial times. But we've

got an opportunity to go to Bedford, put in the same work as we did this

week, and do everything we can to get a result there.
