Good evening. on the BBC News Channel, we ape b!ck

Bosses at The Dame Hannah Rogers School near Plymouth have announced

The respite centre and children s home has been closed for more than

six weeks, over what was described as a "safeguarding issue."

A statement today said it whll initially be opened on a ph`sed

approach with a view to increasing the numbers in the future.

Highways officials have been left scratching their heads,

following the disappearance of a controversial No Entry sign

It happened during a protest march in Totnes earlier tod`y.

Campaigners are now seeking a judicial review to remove

The message was clear. Reverse the experimental traffic order `nd allow

vehicles to drive up the street again.

Campaigners say at any rate the order has failed in one of hts major

objectives. Since they have introduced this nonsense system is

there have been more accidents than there were before. Not only more

accident, but people are re`lising that walking down the street, you

don't know whether the cars are coming towards you, or behind you.

By midday, the controversial no entry sign had disappeared. Devon

County Council high ways were at a loss to explain why. A spokdsman did

however state that the order was intended to stop rat running and

improve the shopping experidnce Some traders agree. It has been

great. When you see the strdets full of people, shopper, they ard relaxed

and enjoying themselves. Business is good. By the time we finishdd

filming the roadside has ch`nged back, to no entry. Whether ht

changes again will depend on the success of campaigners seekhng a

judicial review. The Environment Minister johned

locals on Porthtowan beach today, to highlight the problem of

of beach litter. He was taking part

in an event organised by thd It is 20 year since the Marhne

Conservation Society started to survey the amount of beach `nd

marine litter round the country s coastline and the charity s`ys over

the past two decades there has been a rise in the amount of litter on

our beaches. It causes a number of probldms for

the environment, but also on the local economy. This beach is

probably one of the tidier ones in the area, but that is only because

the council spend a lot of loney between May and September cleaning

it up. Today's vent is one of 3 being held across Devon and Cornwall

as part of the great British beach clean. Among those involved today

was the Environment Minister, who is the MP for Camborne and Redruth He

says the Government is taking the problem seriously We are

participating in a number of project, there is a big one covering

the north Atlantic Oceans and we participate in that. There `re a

number of European projects under way to try and control it. The

Marine Conservation Society is also urging the public to be mord

responsible when it comes to litter. On to today's sport,

and in football it was good news In League One, Yeovil Town

beat Peterborough United 1`0. In League Two, Plymouth Argxle

secured a 2`0 victory at Hole Park against Hartlepool United,

while Exeter City got And in the Conference there was

a 2`0 home win for Torquay Tnited The ex theefrs recorded thehr second

win of the season. It finished in a 25`22 victory for the Chiefs. It was

a different story in the Championship.

Hello. Good evening, we havd still got the risk of heavy, maybd

Northumberlandry showers into the eve Ming, and for that reason we do

have a Met Office yellow warning in force. So a few of those rotnd

perhaps as we push through the first part of tonight but generally it

turns drier, and we start to see a few clear spells merging, that could

lead to mist. Temperatures still sticking in the teens but things are

turning fresher tomorrow. Any mist clearing, readily, lots of sunshine

coming through for tomorrow. Perhaps a bit more cloud for the far

south`west. Temperatures not as high as they have been but feeling

pleasant in the sunshine. And as we push into beginning of next week, we

keep this dry theme but it will feel a little cooler. Have a lovdly

evening. That is it from me, the next update

from the Spotlight team is 6.45 tomorrow and Sunday politic is on

air tomorrow morning. Have ` good night. Bye.

Good evening. I think tomorrow should be a good day for getting out

and about wherever you are. Sunny spells becoming more widespread for

Sunday. You will notice a different feel to things, particularly across

England and Wales where it has been on the multisite hence the

thunderstorms. -- where it has been on the muggy side. There is a cold

front coming in so it is introducing cooler air which will be fresher.

But only just about reaching the south coast by the end of the night.

As you go further north, certainly rural areas will have a chilly end

to the night. Tomorrow, looking fair for pretty much all of us. A bit of

a breeze blowing in through the East Coast. It is a dry story almost

across the board. For central and western areas, feeling pleasant

enough. Temperatures are about right for this time of year. High pressure

to start with on the week
