Good evening. stay with us on BBC One,

:00:12.:00:14.

There were scenes of jubilation at Home Park this afternoon

:00:15.:00:17.

as Plymouth Argyle sealed promotion with three games to spare.

:00:18.:00:21.

The Pilgrims went into the game knowing that just one point would be

:00:22.:00:24.

enough to guarantee League One football next season,

:00:25.:00:27.

but they completed the job in fine style, thrashing Newport 6-1.

:00:28.:00:30.

Andy Birkett got in amongst the celebrations.

:00:31.:00:35.

Six long seasons of English football's fourth tier.

:00:36.:00:41.

The threat of administration, the heartbreak of defeat at Wembley.

:00:42.:00:44.

It's all just a memory now. Plymouth Argyle are going up.

:00:45.:00:47.

Needing just a point to guarantee promotion,

:00:48.:00:51.

they settled any nerves with goals on the stroke of half-time

:00:52.:00:54.

In the second half, it became a procession as Argyle wrapped up

:00:55.:01:00.

What a way to do it in front of nearly 14,000 supporters.

:01:01.:01:07.

And I've seen promotions and these boys went to Wembley last

:01:08.:01:12.

season, disappointment, but now, absolutely outstanding.

:01:13.:01:15.

I think I was more excited than the boys, actually.

:01:16.:01:18.

Amazing. Really good game to come to.

:01:19.:01:21.

Six years in this division, and now we're finally out!

:01:22.:01:30.

We are now ten minutes after the match and no supporters

:01:31.:01:32.

Still around 15,000 here in the stands applauding

:01:33.:01:41.

the players and the manager, who have come back out

:01:42.:01:44.

These fans were told, "Keep the faith" after that Wembley.

:01:45.:01:48.

Defeat, and hasn't their faith been repaid?

:01:49.:01:50.

To seal it in that manner, I think is just moving

:01:51.:01:53.

because the fans have been waiting for so long and it's great they've

:01:54.:01:56.

put in a performance like that and sealed promotion.

:01:57.:01:58.

It's obviously a fantastic club. Massive club here and we're

:01:59.:02:01.

going into League One now. Can't wait for next season.

:02:02.:02:03.

Promotion may be secured but with Doncaster losing

:02:04.:02:08.

today, the gap at the top is only three points.

:02:09.:02:10.

Promotion as champions has a nice ring to it.

:02:11.:02:17.

Fishermen in the south west are being praised for the work

:02:18.:02:21.

they're doing to help clean up our seas.

:02:22.:02:24.

Marine litter and discarded fishing gear has been blamed for killing

:02:25.:02:26.

But now the fishermen are working with charities and other industries

:02:27.:02:32.

to tackle the problem as Eleanor Parkinson reports.

:02:33.:02:36.

These fishermen are not just hauling up fish.

:02:37.:02:38.

They have to sift through their catch to get rid of the rubbish

:02:39.:02:44.

but they're not throwing it back overboard.

:02:45.:02:47.

Instead, they put it in special sacks they've been given

:02:48.:02:50.

and they bring it all back to port to put in a dedicated skip.

:02:51.:02:53.

We bring in about two one-tonne bags every trip.

:02:54.:02:57.

I do a six-day trip and I bring in two one-tonne bags a week.

:02:58.:03:00.

And these are the bags that we give the fishing boats.

:03:01.:03:03.

And if you look through the skip, you can find just about anything.

:03:04.:03:06.

Somebody obviously not needing a kettle.

:03:07.:03:08.

The bags on the boats are provided by a project

:03:09.:03:11.

It's dangerous to be left in the sea, it's not good

:03:12.:03:17.

for the marine environment and they are more than

:03:18.:03:19.

The fishermen are also working hard to prevent ghost gear -

:03:20.:03:24.

broken nets and ropes getting left at sea.

:03:25.:03:26.

They see a bit of ghost gear floating in a water

:03:27.:03:32.

So they swim over it, round it, under it, through it.

:03:33.:03:38.

And it's the through it that gets them into trouble.

:03:39.:03:40.

These nylon nets won't be thrown away.

:03:41.:03:43.

They'll be recycled. They'll be sent to a factory

:03:44.:03:46.

in Eastern Europe, where they'll be turned into nylon carpets.

:03:47.:03:49.

And a Cornish company are using the recycled nylon

:03:50.:03:51.

We make the range of swimwear and rash guards that

:03:52.:03:58.

are particularly aimed at active watersport use, either wearing them

:03:59.:04:01.

under wet suits or jumping around, moving in the water.

:04:02.:04:05.

In the south-west, attitudes to marine litter are changing

:04:06.:04:08.

but the threat still exists from other shores.

:04:09.:04:12.

Ghost gear is often brought up into our seas on the Gulf Stream.

:04:13.:04:15.

For the fishermen and the volunteers, their work continues.

:04:16.:04:19.

Double Olympic gold medal winner Helen Glover from Penzance

:04:20.:04:23.

and her TV presenter husband Steve Backshall have

:04:24.:04:27.

raised more than ?60,000 after completing the Devizes

:04:28.:04:29.

It took the pair 22 hours and 58 minutes to finish the challenge.

:04:30.:04:35.

They're aiming to raise ?100,000 to help save an area

:04:36.:04:38.

The Miniature Pony Centre on Dartmoor has welcomed its first

:04:39.:04:43.

This little filly was born in the early hours of Easter Sunday.

:04:44.:04:50.

The new arrival doesn't have a name yet but the centre is holding

:04:51.:04:52.

a competition to find one, and the theme is British

:04:53.:04:55.

Time for the weather now and here's Bee.

:04:56.:05:00.

Skies already starting to clear out there.

:05:01.:05:04.

A lot of the cloud left is starting to break up so it is going to be

:05:05.:05:11.

We've got light winds, temperatures down into the low

:05:12.:05:16.

single figures in some spots and I think some sheltered rural

:05:17.:05:19.

spots could actually get down as low as 2 or 3 degrees.

:05:20.:05:21.

So a chilly but bright start to the day tomorrow and it really

:05:22.:05:25.

is going to be a beautiful day. Dry and bright, a lot of sunshine.

:05:26.:05:28.

I think more sunshine than we've seen over the last couple of days.

:05:29.:05:31.

Just a bit of fair weather cloud building at times

:05:32.:05:35.

during the afternoon and I think temperatures will reflect

:05:36.:05:38.

the sunshine - doing well with highs of 14 or 15 degrees.

:05:39.:05:40.

It looks like it is staying largely dry for the rest of this week.

:05:41.:05:44.

I think by day, we'll see plenty of sunshine

:05:45.:05:46.

and light winds but by night, it will be cold and we'll see

:05:47.:05:49.

the return of some frost. Have a good night.

:05:50.:05:57.

We will see you for the breakfast bulletin tomorrow just before

:05:58.:06:00.

6:30am. A fresh morning on the way tomorrow,

:06:01.:06:18.

even some frost around, not necessarily two in city centres, but

:06:19.:06:21.

in rural air is quite sharp, especially across Scotland, and

:06:22.:06:26.

temperatures in some rural spots anywhere

:06:27.:06:27.
