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 | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
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 | :11:36. | :11:51. | |
from those whose public performances are just a little quieter. | :11:52. | :12:02. | |

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 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. | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
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 | :15:08. | :15:20. | |
like a kick around with But one family | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
in Devon believe their son's love of the beautiful game has hdlped | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
him through his cancer treatment. 12 year old Ryan Griffiths refused | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
to give up his place in the local team | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
despite being diagnosed with a rare Ryan is your typical | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
football crazy teenager. When he was told he would hd would | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
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 | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
for the under 13s to comepete So the Griffiths' family ard now | :16:38. | :16:55. | |

the funds are running short now As you can see, there's not a lot | :17:11. | :17:13. | |

certainly making its impact on the landscape. The works appeardd to be | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
quite intense. The construction environment, there have been some | :19:04. | :19:16. | |
setbacks, not least the imp`ct on the cirl buntings, because they have | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
suffered here. But here on Labrador Bay, Devon County Council h`s given | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
a grant of ?100,000 which h`s improved the chances of the cirl | :19:28. | :19:33. | |

with careful management, thhs will be an ideal location for thd birds. | :19:38. | :19:43. | |

it's my retirement bash, Glastonbury I came to about 35 years | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
ago, always fancied doing it again, We saw the yurts advertised | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
and they looked gorgeous And then we went mad | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
and booked a helicopter to bring us For me, is the perfect way to | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
celebrate my retirement If I'm honest, right now, | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
at the end of a long day down at the festival, I am really enjoyhng the | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
cutlery, the china and the glass. We've got a kitchen, | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
a fridge for the beer and whne, Most importantly, our own toilet, | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
brilliant. We had a fantastic time last year, | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
my first`time. I'd rather do this again th`n | :22:50. | :22:54. | |

morning and the party is cldarly But up here, it's almost | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
like a relaxing hum which I can That would be your way of doing | :23:33. | :23:49. | |
Glastonbury. It would know. | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
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. | |
to be from the south`west fhrst thing. I risk of showers, btt here | :27:12. | :27:22. | |
is forecast as head into Sunday A brighter day, a chilly breeze from | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
the north`west. Monday will be mainly dry and the risk of showers | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
returning on Tuesday. But not too bad, just watch out for those | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
thunderstorms tomorrow. That is it from us. We are back on | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
Monday, but I think at a later time. We are all over the place bdcause of | :27:44. | :27:45. | |
football and tennis. Goodbyd. | :27:46. | :27:48. |
