That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from ma - and

:00:00.:00:16.

The search for a man who police believe could be armdd.

:00:17.:00:18.

They have warned the public not to approach Derrel Weaver.

:00:19.:00:21.

A major police operation continues tonight in the small villagd

:00:22.:00:23.

We'll be live at the scene and hearing from local residents.

:00:24.:00:33.

I'm shocked. I can't understand it. He's just an all`round, nicd guy.

And the victim of a hit and run appeals

:00:48.:00:51.

A major police operation is continuing tonight to hunt for a man

:00:52.:00:58.

60 year old Derrel Weaver, from Widegates, near Looe,

:00:59.:01:06.

has been missing since a domestic incident last night.

:01:07.:01:08.

Police say he's known to have access to weapons and have warned

:01:09.:01:11.

The local school has been closed all day as a precaution

:01:12.:01:15.

and several roads in the area have been cordoned off.

:01:16.:01:17.

Our reporter John Henderson is at the scene.

:01:18.:01:19.

Relatively low`key police presence here at the moment. But in the last

:01:20.:01:36.

half an hour, three or four police vehicles drove quickly passdd us. It

:01:37.:01:46.

has been an extraordinary d`y here. The peace was shattered in this

:01:47.:01:49.

quiet village at the centre of manhunt. Police were called after a

:01:50.:01:59.

domestic incident here. This lunchtime, officers named the man

:02:00.:02:02.

they are looking for a 60`ydar`old Derrel Weaver. If any member of the

:02:03.:02:11.

public sees him, we ask that they do not approach him but call the

:02:12.:02:16.

police. It is unclear whethdr he may be armed, but this is a possibility

:02:17.:02:24.

as he is a licensed firearms holder. Police are not prejudging any of his

:02:25.:02:28.

actions, but we would like to speak to him as soon as possible. He is

:02:29.:02:33.

well known locally as an entertainer and tree surgeon. It is a bht sad

:02:34.:02:54.

really. He is a lovely blokd. I am shocked. He is keen on motorbikes. I

:02:55.:03:02.

often walk that dogs down p`st the farm, his dog barks, our dogs bark.

:03:03.:03:08.

A very nice guy. You would never think anything. A local school close

:03:09.:03:14.

to his property was closed today, but police say that was purdly a

:03:15.:03:18.

precaution and no specific threat has been made to anyone connected to

:03:19.:03:25.

the school. This afternoon, there were unconfirmed reports th`t his

:03:26.:03:40.

mobile phone had been traced. You think that he is still hn the

:03:41.:03:48.

area, how do you know that? We are reacting to information and

:03:49.:03:53.

intelligence. It has led us to believe that he is still here

:03:54.:03:59.

locally. He likes motorbikes, there is a mainline train service, he

:04:00.:04:05.

could have gone? That is trte. That is a possibility, but our enquiries

:04:06.:04:09.

lead us to believe that he hs still local. What is the latest? We saw

:04:10.:04:14.

those police cars heading bx half an hour ago. Our officers have searched

:04:15.:04:19.

some buildings and fields ndar to where we are. What I would trge Mr

:04:20.:04:29.

Weaver, if he is listening to this, is that he speaks to us so that we

:04:30.:04:34.

can get some trained officers to resolve this situation. Havd you

:04:35.:04:39.

been using his mobile phone to track him? That is something that we would

:04:40.:04:46.

want to do. But Mr Weaver would want to contact us, that would bd of

:04:47.:04:54.

help. We know that he did not plan the incident to occur as it has

:04:55.:05:01.

done. Is he armed? He is a licensed firearms holder and is something we

:05:02.:05:04.

have to take into consideration Thank you for that. I will be back

:05:05.:05:07.

with more on this in the late news. The Prisons Minister has ordered

:05:08.:05:12.

a review after inmates who escaped onto

:05:13.:05:13.

the roof of Dartmoor jail dtring The Ministry of Justice says it has

:05:14.:05:16.

a duty of care, but the Minhster, Jeremy Wright,

:05:17.:05:22.

described the incident as foolish. Well, we've asked people

:05:23.:05:24.

in Princetown what they think. These people are going to eventually

:05:25.:05:42.

go outside, if they get burned, it will cost the NHS. They chose to go

:05:43.:05:48.

up there, they shouldn't do it. If somebody is putting themselves at

:05:49.:05:51.

risk by sitting on a roof, they have been that decision. Trying to keep

:05:52.:05:56.

them safe by giving them sole cream seems daft. But there is a duty of

:05:57.:06:06.

care. I should've thought it would be a sensible thing to offer them,

:06:07.:06:09.

to save them from getting skin cancer. I think it is stupid. It is

:06:10.:06:17.

their own thought. `` their own fault. I think they should because

:06:18.:06:18.

of. Our political editor Martyn Oates

:06:19.:06:22.

joins us now. The prisons minister says there

:06:23.:06:37.

should be no policies in pl`ce that promote this sort of foolishness and

:06:38.:06:41.

that there should be an immddiate review. But a spokesman for the

:06:42.:06:45.

Ministry of Justice, his own department, explained that this

:06:46.:06:50.

suncream was offered as part of our standard duty of care. Then later,

:06:51.:06:56.

it was said that it was part of the negotiating tactics. It does not

Ministry of the `` that everybody in Ministry of the `` that everybody in

:07:01.:07:07.

the Ministry of Justice is singing from the same hymn sheet.

:07:08.:07:13.

It has been clearly condemndd by the prison officers Association?

:07:14.:07:15.

Absolutely no confusion or dissenting voices of beer. Ht could

:07:16.:07:24.

encourage other prisoners up onto the roof.

:07:25.:07:29.

A pensioner who was left injured on a road in Cornwall after a hit and

:07:30.:07:33.

run accident is appealing for the driver of the car to come forward.

:07:34.:07:36.

Douglas Elliott, who was on a cycling holidax,

:07:37.:07:38.

was knocked off his bike and taken to hospital where he was trdated

:07:39.:07:41.

68`year`old Douglas Elliott was riding back to his campsite when his

:07:42.:07:56.

bike was hit by a car. The next thing I knew I was landing on the

:07:57.:08:01.

floor. I hit my handlebars. I just went down. I was lucky not to go

:08:02.:08:11.

right under. I sat up a little bit and waved, to let her know to stop.

:08:12.:08:22.

I thought, not stopping! Yot can believe it sometimes. He was taken

:08:23.:08:28.

to hospital where he spent several days being treated for a broken bone

:08:29.:08:32.

in his pelvis. He believes hf he had not been wearing his helmet, it

:08:33.:08:37.

could have been worse. It h`ppened on this road. The police sax the car

:08:38.:08:49.

was at dark blue Fiesta, Andrew Driver was a young woman with dyed

:08:50.:08:57.

blonde here. If you come across a cyclist or a horse them timd, do not

:08:58.:09:04.

move ahead when you are at ` bend in the road, give them as much room as

:09:05.:09:10.

you would a car. What would you like to say to her about your

:09:11.:09:14.

predicament? Can you see wh`t you have done to a 68`year`old guy with

:09:15.:09:24.

a pacemaker did not deserve it? Douglas Elliott is now stranded as

:09:25.:09:28.

he is not able to tour his caravan home until his injury has hdaled.

:09:29.:09:32.

A street preacher in Taunton is claiming the police are restricting

:09:33.:09:34.

his right to free speech by asking passers`by to viddo him.

:09:35.:09:37.

Avon and Somerset Police sax they've had numerous complaints

:09:38.:09:39.

about the way Michael Overd preaches his views on homsosexuality

:09:40.:09:42.

Traders in Taunton say he's scaring customers away.

:09:43.:09:44.

But Mr Overd says he's doing nothing wrong.

:09:45.:09:46.

God will not tolerate sin in his presence.

:09:47.:09:55.

Depending on your views, he is either a messenger

:09:56.:09:58.

Michael does admit that his preachings do sometimes offend

:09:59.:10:03.

passers by, but he says that is more an issue for them than him.

:10:04.:10:09.

I have freedom of speech to come and preach the gospel of

:10:10.:10:12.

No, I'm not inciting anybodx to persecute any type of person.

:10:13.:10:18.

I am preaching the gospel and responding and letting people

:10:19.:10:20.

This preacher does carry his own camera for his own protection he

:10:21.:10:36.

says against those who confront him about his outspoken views.

:10:37.:10:39.

Now the police are collecting videos from passers`by who have

:10:40.:10:43.

What do you say to the allegation that this is

:10:44.:10:48.

I believe it is about getting the right balance between free

:10:49.:10:55.

speech and the right for people to come into Taunton and not h`ve

:10:56.:10:58.

Should you be asking people to video him?

:10:59.:11:03.

We are not asking, but if they choose to do so, I will

:11:04.:11:06.

There is no doubt that some are insulted about his views,

:11:07.:11:12.

especially when he openly criticises gay people walking by.

:11:13.:11:17.

He has affected our business badly when he is around.

:11:18.:11:25.

We have had customers here and people get up and walk out and

:11:26.:11:29.

But this former paratroopdr says h will continue preaching

:11:30.:11:35.

`` for 6 years. But when it comes to popularity, maybe he could learn

from those whose public performances are just a little quieter.

Kicking cancer into touch, the 12`year`old boy whose love

And forget the mud, we have the ultimate guide on how to

A 26 year old man has died after taking drugs

:12:13.:12:29.

Since he was rushed to hosphtal on Wednesday, officers from Avon

:12:30.:12:33.

and Somerset Police have bedn on site warning of the dangdrs.

:12:34.:12:35.

The man had a bad reaction to the drug ketamine.

The region's longest serving MEP isn't ruling out a return to

:12:39.:12:40.

politics after he lost his seat in last month's European eldctions.

The Liberal Democrat Graham Watson left his office in Brussels this

:12:44.:12:46.

He says he hasn't made up his mind about what to do ndxt.

:12:47.:12:56.

I take the view that you move on and you move on to new things. Hf you

:12:57.:13:02.

have a setback, as I have h`d, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off

:13:03.:13:05.

and start all over again. And you can see more on this story

:13:06.:13:09.

on the Sunday Politics programme. Search and Rescue helicopters have

:13:10.:13:15.

been landing on beaches in Cornwall to help prepare lifeguards

:13:16.:13:17.

for emergency situations. The air crews from RNAS Culdrose

:13:18.:13:19.

have been training with the RNLI Spotlight's John Danks was with them

:13:20.:13:22.

in Perranporth when A Sea King helicopter from 771

:13:23.:13:27.

Squadron approaches Perranporth place is quiet this evening, but in

:13:28.:13:38.

the height of summer, finding a safe place to land can be a problem. When

:13:39.:13:47.

we arrive at the beach, we will always conduct an aerial recce to

:13:48.:13:50.

see what is going on. What we expect you to have done is to create a

:13:51.:13:55.

landing site for us. We do not want to fly over people in the bdach

:13:56.:13:59.

blowing away stuff. We want a nice, decent area that we can set the

:14:00.:14:02.

helicopter down in without causing distress to anyone. And then a safe

:14:03.:14:05.

way to come to and from the helicopter. For the lifeguards, it

:14:06.:14:15.

is a useful part of their pdak season training. The next thme we

:14:16.:14:33.

see these guys, it's for re`l. Just to work out what they do, what we

:14:34.:14:36.

can do to help them land, load patients, get them away is vital to

:14:37.:14:39.

speed up all our operation. For some, that meant a chance to look

:14:40.:14:43.

inside the Sea King and talk to the crew. I thought it was really cool,

:14:44.:14:46.

very interesting to see inshde it and see what the crew does `nd

:14:47.:14:49.

equipment they have on board. The training over, no one could have

:14:50.:14:53.

predicted how quickly it wotld be put into practice. The aircraft

:14:54.:14:56.

headed back to its base, only for it to return to Perranporth within

:14:57.:14:59.

45 minutes. A woman had suffered a suspected heart attack on the

:15:00.:15:02.

beach. The lifeguard first on the scene had performed CPR before

:15:03.:15:05.

paramedics took over. The patient was airlifted to hospital,

:15:06.:15:07.

her condition is not known. For many youngsters, there's nothing

like a kick around with But one family

football crazy teenager. When he was told he would hd would

have to stop playing for his beloved Broadcliffe Football

:15:45.:15:48.

Club to have cancer treatment, Kind of more upsetting for Ryan

:15:49.:15:50.

than being told he had cancdr. He was determined even though people

:15:51.:15:56.

told him he would not feel well enough, he had his chemo on

:15:57.:16:03.

a Wednesday, and his battle for the next few days was to get hilself fit

:16:04.:16:06.

enough and well enough to train on His determination definitelx

:16:07.:16:09.

kept us going as well. Ryan was only diagnosed with

:16:10.:16:22.

lymphoma at the start of thd year. For him, his favourite sport has

:16:23.:16:25.

become the perfect distracthon. Playing football made me forget

:16:26.:16:32.

about the stuff that was gohng on, like hospital,

:16:33.:16:35.

and if I was playing football I Ryan's club needs a bigger pitch

But the weather is causing some problems tonight. Some of the stages

:23:54.:23:57.

have had to be powered down due to the thunderstorms.

:23:58.:24:05.

More thunder to come tomorrow as well. These showers have bedn

:24:06.:24:12.

forming lines. This is the sort of cloud causing the thunder and

:24:13.:24:20.

lightning. More of this typd of cloud likely tomorrow. Therd will be

:24:21.:24:26.

some sunshine in between thd showers, and much drier on Sunday.

:24:27.:24:34.

We are concerned about the heavy showers because those we have seen

:24:35.:24:39.

today have given some torrential downpours. And a warning of further

:24:40.:24:47.

downpours tomorrow. The bro`d set up is for low pressure, but evdn though

:24:48.:24:53.

we have low`pressure, there may be some sunshine in between thd

:24:54.:25:01.

showers. Saturday and Sundax, the area of low pressure begins to move

:25:02.:25:05.

out of the way. On Monday, `verage of high pressure coming in. He is a

:25:06.:25:10.

closer look at that picture, showing you where the showers have been

:25:11.:25:18.

This line of showers have h`d some thunder in them. It is that sort of

:25:19.:25:23.

location that could well sed the same sort of heavy downpours

:25:24.:25:28.

tomorrow. The course has fe`red quite well however. We had some fine

:25:29.:25:32.

whether there today. The shower risk is one that will

:25:33.:25:52.

continue through the day tolorrow, but perhaps a quieter picture as we

:25:53.:25:58.

move into Sunday. Let's follow the progress of those showers. They will

:25:59.:26:04.

eventually fade away. Along the coastline, we will keep a fdw light

:26:05.:26:08.

showers, but inland, it will turn dry and misty. Tomorrow morning for

:26:09.:26:14.

most of us, there should be some sunshine to enjoy. A top telperature

:26:15.:26:24.

tomorrow of 18 or 19. That hs when the atmosphere has the energy to

:26:25.:26:33.

generate that type of shower. But for the western parts of Devon and,

:26:34.:26:37.

you might get away with somd sunshine in the afternoon. That is a

:26:38.:26:44.

reminder of our temperatures, 1 `19. For the Isles of Scilly, sunny

:26:45.:26:49.

spells and a few showers. Wd might get away with a largely Friday.

:26:50.:26:52.

Those are our times of high water. Offshore, the wind at see is likely

:26:53.:27:11.
