:00:12. > :00:14.There's a warning tonight about the use of glue traps to catch
:00:15. > :00:17.pests after two owls became stuck in them.
:00:18. > :00:19.The animals are being cared for at the West Hatch
:00:20. > :00:25.This one was unable to move its wings and wouldn't have survived.
:00:26. > :00:28.The RSPCA says glue traps cause unnecessary suffering to pests

:00:38. > :00:39.He had quite a few feathers missing on
:00:40. > :00:43.Without us intervening and actually washing the
:00:44. > :00:46.glue off, there is no way he would ever have flown again,
:00:47. > :00:50.so he would have slowly starved to death or died
:00:51. > :00:56.It's been a busy day on some of our roads,
:00:57. > :00:58.as people make the most of the Easter break, but two years
:00:59. > :01:01.through Bodmin Moor isn't quite over yet.
:01:02. > :01:04.It had been hoped work at Temple would be completed by today,
:01:05. > :01:07.but Cornwall Council says the problems won't continue
:01:08. > :01:13.It's been said that it's the only stretch of single carriageway
:01:14. > :01:18.on an A-road between Scotland and Cornwall.
:01:19. > :01:21.We have been promised that it will be open in time for the main
:01:22. > :01:23.holidays in the summer, which is, you know, good news.
:01:24. > :01:28.It just would have been great news if it was open today.
:01:29. > :01:31.About 2,000 people have turned out in one town in Devon
:01:32. > :01:33.as people across the South West have taken part in traditional
:01:34. > :01:35.Good Friday processions through the streets.
:01:36. > :01:38.Early Christians in Jerusalem would walk what they believed
:01:39. > :01:40.was Jesus' final journey carrying the cross.

:01:58. > :02:01.good sense of it, to be moved by it, but not too realistic that they are
:02:02. > :02:06.It was estimated a couple of thousand were
:02:07. > :02:10.in the crowd, with about 100 costumed actors and 70 crew.
:02:11. > :02:17.And at the heart of a tale that is centuries
:02:18. > :02:23.old, it was a young actor who took on the role of Jesus.
:02:24. > :02:26.Just like when you go on the stage in any other
:02:27. > :02:29.production, you do get that stage fright, when you see so many people
:02:30. > :02:31.before you. But it does give a sense
:02:32. > :02:33.of purpose to the way you were acting.
:02:34. > :02:35.Suddenly, you realised the meaning behind the words you were
:02:36. > :02:38.saying, so in a way, it sort of emboldened you, gave
:02:39. > :02:42.you confidence and an understanding of how everything fitted together.
:02:43. > :02:44.Thought to be the first Passion play for the town in living
:02:45. > :02:47.memory, but a tradition that could continue.
:02:48. > :02:51.Everybody was a very good actor, I thought.
:02:52. > :02:55.I liked about the play, when the guy screamed when he
:02:56. > :02:58.got pricked by the sword in his cheek.
:02:59. > :03:01.I thought it was quite powerful, and nice that
:03:02. > :03:06.I thought that the last bit was very well done, and very emotional,

:03:22. > :03:27.Born in Dorset he shot to fame predicting the results of football
:03:28. > :03:32.A bit of fun at the time, but octopuses are very intelligent,
:03:33. > :03:35.and John Ayres has been discovering there's now some proper research
:03:36. > :03:39.into their thought processes at an aquarium in Torquay.
:03:40. > :03:43.The point of dropping plastic bricks into this tank is to see if Octavia
:03:44. > :03:45.can find her way through to the food.
:03:46. > :03:47.The test is repeated, and each time, she gets quicker.
:03:48. > :03:51.She may not be as famous as Paul the Octopus,
:03:52. > :03:56.What I could not really grasp about Paul,
:03:57. > :03:59.the World Cup octopus, is how he could distinguish between the
:04:00. > :04:02.technicalities of the Netherlands team and the flamboyance of the
:04:03. > :04:05.Spanish, or indeed, how he was able to watch the matches under
:04:06. > :04:11.But the difference with this is that the testing is
:04:12. > :04:16.actually real, and they believe that octopuses have intelligence similar

:04:23. > :04:26.She is measuring how long it takes Octavia to work
:04:27. > :04:31.Two of the puzzles that I am using for the study,
:04:32. > :04:34.a simple one is clip-lock boxes and screw-top containers,
:04:35. > :04:38.so she really has to figure out how to get into these boxes in order to
:04:39. > :04:41.get her food, and then I will present these challenges a few
:04:42. > :04:44.weeks later to see if she has learned how to do it, and the time
:04:45. > :04:47.They are inquisitive, they can work things
:04:48. > :04:49.out if we give them puzzles and things.
:04:50. > :04:52.It is just things that they have developed in the wild to
:04:53. > :04:56.Obviously, they have got that, and we need to keep that busy
:04:57. > :05:00.Her ability to do these puzzles has been
:05:01. > :05:02.entertaining the crowds this Easter holiday.
:05:03. > :05:05.Meghan will be carrying out a number of research projects for

:05:15. > :05:17.after drawing against Portsmouth at Fratton Park late this afternoon.

:05:30. > :05:35.Plymouth Argyle knew a win today would secure promotion, as long as
:05:36. > :05:42.other results went their way. And they started well, after this flying

:05:54. > :06:02.Eventually, a goalkeeping error allowed Portsmouth to equalise. The
:06:03. > :06:06.Green Army will have to keep the champagne on ice for now. The
:06:07. > :06:11.Pilgrims need one point from four games to guarantee their place in
:06:12. > :06:20.League 1. These are the other results today.
:06:21. > :06:23.Torquay United are now just four points from safety with two games to

:06:49. > :06:52.and will tend to come and go through the course of the night,
