:01:20. > :01:36.Relatively low`key police presence here at the moment. But in the last
:01:37. > :01:46.half an hour, three or four police vehicles drove quickly passdd us. It
:01:47. > :01:49.has been an extraordinary d`y here. The peace was shattered in this
:01:50. > :01:59.quiet village at the centre of manhunt. Police were called after a
:02:00. > :02:02.domestic incident here. This lunchtime, officers named the man
:02:03. > :02:11.they are looking for a 60`ydar`old Derrel Weaver. If any member of the
:02:12. > :02:16.public sees him, we ask that they do not approach him but call the
:02:17. > :02:24.police. It is unclear whethdr he may be armed, but this is a possibility
:02:25. > :02:28.as he is a licensed firearms holder. Police are not prejudging any of his
:02:29. > :02:33.actions, but we would like to speak to him as soon as possible. He is
:02:34. > :02:54.well known locally as an entertainer and tree surgeon. It is a bht sad
:02:55. > :03:02.really. He is a lovely blokd. I am shocked. He is keen on motorbikes. I
:03:03. > :03:08.often walk that dogs down p`st the farm, his dog barks, our dogs bark.
:03:09. > :03:14.A very nice guy. You would never think anything. A local school close

:03:19. > :03:25.precaution and no specific threat has been made to anyone connected to
:03:26. > :03:40.the school. This afternoon, there were unconfirmed reports th`t his
:03:41. > :03:48.mobile phone had been traced. You think that he is still hn the
:03:49. > :03:53.area, how do you know that? We are reacting to information and
:03:54. > :03:59.intelligence. It has led us to believe that he is still here
:04:00. > :04:05.locally. He likes motorbikes, there is a mainline train service, he
:04:06. > :04:09.could have gone? That is trte. That is a possibility, but our enquiries
:04:10. > :04:14.lead us to believe that he hs still local. What is the latest? We saw
:04:15. > :04:19.those police cars heading bx half an hour ago. Our officers have searched
:04:20. > :04:29.some buildings and fields ndar to where we are. What I would trge Mr
:04:30. > :04:34.Weaver, if he is listening to this, is that he speaks to us so that we
:04:35. > :04:39.can get some trained officers to resolve this situation. Havd you
:04:40. > :04:46.been using his mobile phone to track him? That is something that we would
:04:47. > :04:54.want to do. But Mr Weaver would want to contact us, that would bd of
:04:55. > :05:01.help. We know that he did not plan the incident to occur as it has
:05:02. > :05:04.done. Is he armed? He is a licensed firearms holder and is something we
:05:05. > :05:07.have to take into consideration Thank you for that. I will be back
:05:08. > :05:12.with more on this in the late news. The Prisons Minister has ordered

:05:14. > :05:16.the roof of Dartmoor jail dtring The Ministry of Justice says it has
:05:17. > :05:22.a duty of care, but the Minhster, Jeremy Wright,
:05:23. > :05:24.described the incident as foolish. Well, we've asked people

:05:49. > :05:51.up there, they shouldn't do it. If somebody is putting themselves at
:05:52. > :05:56.risk by sitting on a roof, they have been that decision. Trying to keep
:05:57. > :06:06.them safe by giving them sole cream seems daft. But there is a duty of

:13:56. > :13:59.landing site for us. We do not want to fly over people in the bdach
:14:00. > :14:02.blowing away stuff. We want a nice, decent area that we can set the
:14:03. > :14:05.helicopter down in without causing distress to anyone. And then a safe
:14:06. > :14:15.way to come to and from the helicopter. For the lifeguards, it
