:01:05. > :01:09.He's in an induced coma and they're just desperately trying to...

:01:10. > :01:12.Because originally they wanted to get him straight back to the UK.

:01:13. > :01:15.You know, they wanted to get him to a hospital here because

:01:16. > :01:20.But they were advised it's not safe to fly him.

:01:21. > :01:25.It's a long flight and the pressure, it would be too dangerous for him.

:01:26. > :01:29.A crowd funded appeal has so far raised more than ?60,000 to fund

:02:16. > :02:22.Torbay Hospital took almost ?800,000, and Dorset County more

:02:23. > :02:26.The figures came from a Press Association investigation.

:02:27. > :02:29.Hospitals say the money is invested in front line services,

:03:07. > :03:09.Torbay and Dorset County both say money they raise goes

:03:14. > :03:18.But, with NHS hospitals across England making more money,

:03:19. > :03:22.We get lots of calls on our helpline about this.

:03:23. > :03:25.People are very concerned about it, and the prices seem to have

:03:26. > :03:30.It's almost like an additional tax on people that are

:03:31. > :03:34.So, really recognise this is a sensitive issue for the public,

:03:35. > :03:40.which is why we make sure that we invest our parking income

:03:41. > :03:44.One is that we spend money straight back into patient care.

:03:45. > :03:47.And, secondly, we subsidise the park and ride service which is a service

:03:48. > :03:52.that is available for both visitors to the hospital staff.

:03:53. > :03:56.Not all hospitals in the south-west took part in the survey

:04:15. > :04:21.Car keys lost, these revellers have no way of leaving Dartmoor.

:04:22. > :04:25.Stranded and cold, there has been time to reflect.

:04:26. > :04:28.It is a shame if it has disturbed some people which,

:04:29. > :04:34.I'm sorry if it did ruin anybody's Boxing Day.

:04:35. > :04:39.As well as the response from the emergency services,

:04:40. > :04:43.an animal charity was called out to collect escaped ponies at risk

:04:44. > :04:50.We all had to drop tools, down family time, and come out

:04:51. > :04:53.and put extra resourcing into gates and ensuring the ponies

:04:54. > :04:59.Our big concern was the ponies escaping onto the roads or getting

:05:00. > :05:04.Steps have been taken today to restore order.

:05:05. > :05:07.The message going out to that community is you are not welcome

:05:08. > :05:09.to come to Forestry Commission land and carry out your activities.

:05:10. > :05:12.It's a danger for the members of the public who are here enjoying

:05:13. > :05:14.legitimate activities, like walking, cycling,

:05:15. > :05:18.They're are also putting themselves in danger,

:05:19. > :05:20.they're driving around the woodlands, they're using our

:05:21. > :05:23.woods as a toilet, and they're also disturbing wildlife.

:05:35. > :05:37.Now, it's a time of year when many of us like to get out

:05:38. > :05:40.in the countryside but it's not so easy if mobility is an issue.

:05:41. > :05:44.Here's our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell on a new all-terrain

:05:45. > :05:49.buggy scheme which has been pioneered here in the south-west.

:05:50. > :05:53.You'll get that good viuew when we get around the corner.

:05:54. > :05:56.This all-terrain vehicle is being put through its paces on Dartmoor.

:05:57. > :06:00.There are 37 sites around the south-west where people

:06:01. > :06:03.with limited mobility can get out into the countryside

:06:04. > :06:09.I went with my 86-year-old father, who tackled the sometimes difficult

:06:10. > :06:20.I'm used to a scooter but this is a different kind of scooter.

:06:21. > :06:24.The south-west has pioneered this idea.

:06:25. > :06:27.For a nominal fee, you can sign up to the network

:06:28. > :06:33.They vary from coastal sites, where you can get up on clifftops,

:06:34. > :06:39.or you can go to a forest area, like Holden Forest.

:06:40. > :06:41.I'll do you a new list of sites with pubs.

:06:42. > :06:44.As I understand, pubs would be more...

:06:45. > :06:50.And you can find details of the charity which supplies those

:06:51. > :06:55.buggies on the Spotlight Facebook Page.

:06:56. > :07:03.We've got another cold night in store, with quite

:07:04. > :07:07.a bit of frost around, and some mist and fog patches.

:07:08. > :07:09.We should get some sunshine but, for all of us,

:07:10. > :07:14.Some of the fog will be freezing fog, particularly across parts

:07:15. > :07:17.Could cause some problems on the roads.

:07:18. > :07:19.We have high pressure, so nothing really to stir the air.

:07:20. > :07:23.Very light winds through the night, with that mist and fog forming.

:07:24. > :07:26.A little bit more on the way of cloud coming into the far west

:07:27. > :07:29.of Cornwall but we start the day with temperatures at

:07:30. > :07:33.Some sunny spells through the day tomorrow but in places some of that

:07:34. > :07:36.fog may not lift at all and, where that happens, it's

:07:37. > :07:39.8-9 degrees, I think, will be the maximum temperature.

:07:40. > :07:42.Little change as we move into Friday.

:07:43. > :07:46.South-west winds so slightly less cold, turning colder again,

:07:47. > :07:53.That's all the news and weather from us,

:07:54. > :08:23.we're back at 10:40pm with the late news, in the meantime,

:08:24. > :08:42.Good evening, the weather is proving hazardous and the fog now becoming

:08:43. > :08:44.more extensive and causing disruption overnight tonight. There
