Good evening. for the news where you are.

:00:10.:00:10.

A mother has been reliving the moment her daughter and husband

:00:11.:00:13.

were swept to their deaths off Newquay.

:00:14.:00:15.

Rudy and Mckayla Bruynius drowned when a freak wave hit the family,

:00:16.:00:18.

Today a coroner recorded verdicts of accidental death.

:00:19.:00:23.

These are the rocks where the Bruynius family were fishing.

:00:24.:00:28.

Lucinda Bruynius said as they were setting up their rods,

:00:29.:00:33.

the sea suddenly became much bigger, with waves around 6-8 feet.

:00:34.:00:37.

She said as she shouted to her two young boys to move

:00:38.:00:40.

higher onto the rocks, two huge waves suddenly swept her,

:00:41.:00:42.

her husband and her two-year-old girl Mckayla into the sea.

:00:43.:00:46.

She said Mckayla was strapped into her pushchair.

:00:47.:00:49.

She said somehow her husband Rudy managed to set her free

:00:50.:00:52.

When she next saw him he wasn't moving.

:00:53.:00:59.

She thought he was unconscious so she tried to hold his

:01:00.:01:03.

Both father and daughter were airlifted to hospital.

:01:04.:01:08.

Mckayla died four days later at Bristol Children's Hospital.

:01:09.:01:13.

On the 19th of August 2016, our lives changed forever.

:01:14.:01:21.

We were fishing off rocks in Newquay when the sea conditions changed

:01:22.:01:25.

We didn't have time to react and my sons and I have been left

:01:26.:01:30.

Rudy was a loving husband and a wonderful father.

:01:31.:01:39.

He leaves a void which can never be filled.

:01:40.:01:41.

Mckayla, our gorgeous, beautiful baby, is forever

:01:42.:01:50.

in our hearts and the pain myself and the boys feel at losing

:01:51.:01:53.

Eleanor Parkinson with that report from Newquay.

:01:54.:02:02.

The race is now on following the vote earlier by MPs for a snap

:02:03.:02:05.

Our reporter Hamish Marshall has spent the day on a road trip

:02:06.:02:12.

between three of the region's key battle ground areas in Devon.

:02:13.:02:17.

50 days from decision day and whose shoes do

:02:18.:02:21.

The parties have seven weeks to make their pitch.

:02:22.:02:27.

This is Exeter, the small, red dot in the largely blue

:02:28.:02:32.

And it was one of only three places in the south-west to vote Remain

:02:33.:02:39.

So what do people here think about going to the polls again?

:02:40.:02:45.

I think she is doing the right thing.

:02:46.:02:47.

Whether I will vote for her is another matter.

:02:48.:02:53.

This will tell us where the country lies.

:02:54.:02:57.

And the snap election has caught 18-year-olds who will get a say

:02:58.:03:00.

Probably should look into stuff before I decide because I don't

:03:01.:03:04.

really know anything about it because obviously it hasn't mattered

:03:05.:03:07.

to me because I couldn't really do anything.

:03:08.:03:12.

20 miles or so down the road and things are different, in terms

:03:13.:03:15.

For 18 years until 2015, Torbay was held by the Liberal Democrats,

:03:16.:03:22.

and they will hope to try to win this seat back.

:03:23.:03:26.

But there was a problem - Torbay had the strongest vote

:03:27.:03:29.

in the south-west for Brexit, with 63% last year.

:03:30.:03:35.

We need to be England, Great Britain.

:03:36.:03:37.

Up to now, she has not let me down, Theresa May, that is.

:03:38.:03:47.

But some are considering switching parties.

:03:48.:03:51.

If that helps and it helps keep the European idea together then,

:03:52.:03:56.

Nationally, a lot of the talk has been about the problems

:03:57.:04:06.

that the Labour Party is facing nationally.

:04:07.:04:10.

But here they have hopes of winning both of the seats in the city.

:04:11.:04:15.

I just think they're stupid to get out of the EU.

:04:16.:04:26.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see what the outcome is.

:04:27.:04:33.

I think if it is going to happen, people fighting against it happening

:04:34.:04:37.

But to get your vote, all sides will be fighting hard

:04:38.:04:43.

There've been reassurances over a massive new tungsten mine

:04:44.:04:50.

on the edge of Dartmoor which is still struggling

:04:51.:04:52.

A shake-up in senior management is imminent and, behind the scenes,

:04:53.:04:56.

extra finance has had to be arranged.

:04:57.:04:58.

Our business correspondent Neil Gallacher reports.

:04:59.:05:03.

Britain's first new metals mine for 40 years represents

:05:04.:05:06.

an old industry being reborn, but the birth and the early months

:05:07.:05:10.

The vast new mill at the mine has had problems processing its first

:05:11.:05:16.

In recent weeks, the mine has announced increased half-yearly

:05:17.:05:23.

It has gone back to its shareholders for a further loan of ?10 million.

:05:24.:05:32.

There is about to be a shake-up of senior management at this

:05:33.:05:34.

Australian-owned firm, to ensure the right level

:05:35.:05:36.

of expertise is permanently on-site in the UK.

:05:37.:05:41.

Another problem is that the tungsten price has fallen steeply

:05:42.:05:44.

In theory, a mine can be mothballed until prices are high enough

:05:45.:05:48.

but industry watchers think this one will stay in production.

:05:49.:05:54.

That is helping to repay the finances, and also equipment

:05:55.:05:57.

doesn't tend to improve by being just left there and not

:05:58.:06:01.

being used, so I think the company will take the view that actually

:06:02.:06:04.

keeping it going and making these improvements, in terms of personnel,

:06:05.:06:09.

technology and operational matters, that they are doing at the moment,

:06:10.:06:11.

Locally, opinions about the mine vary.

:06:12.:06:18.

Some people are annoyed with the mine just because of

:06:19.:06:21.

the blasts that they receive, you know, and it shakes their house

:06:22.:06:24.

and they feel they will not be able to sell their houses probably

:06:25.:06:27.

And it generates a lot of business for the area also.

:06:28.:06:31.

There was a period of about 4-5 months where there was petitions,

:06:32.:06:35.

a lot of talk from particular locals who were very unhappy about it.

:06:36.:06:38.

I think as time has gone on, people have just accepted it is there,

:06:39.:06:46.

It has created jobs for the local area and there is not a huge amount

:06:47.:06:51.

Wolf Minerals had no one available for interview.

:06:52.:06:56.

Armed with its bridging loans, the mine soldiers on.

:06:57.:07:03.

Jack Nowell has become the first ever Exeter Chiefs player to be

:07:04.:07:06.

The 24-year-old was today named in the squad for the summer

:07:07.:07:11.

The first the Cornishman heard of it was when the touring party

:07:12.:07:15.

And, as Andy Birkett found out, there was quite a celebration.

:07:16.:07:21.

Jack Nowell, Exeter Chiefs and England.

:07:22.:07:32.

To be named and that is obviously a massive thing for myself and,

:07:33.:07:36.

you know, people who have got me there as well, so I am

:07:37.:07:39.

Not only to play for their country but also to go on tour

:07:40.:07:44.

Yeah, hopefully, given that chance now, it's going to be

:07:45.:07:49.

It's a chance the popular Cornishman has earned and everyone around

:07:50.:07:54.

the club is naturally delighted for him.

:07:55.:07:57.

To have a current British Lion in your team is fantastic but for it

:07:58.:08:00.

to be one of the players who has come through your academy

:08:01.:08:03.

system and have only played their premiership rugby

:08:04.:08:06.

at one club and become an international here and now

:08:07.:08:10.

become a British Lion, it doesn't really get

:08:11.:08:12.

any better than that from a club perspective,

:08:13.:08:14.

and for me as well, the fact that it has happened to such a good guy,

:08:15.:08:18.

Despite his rapid rise from mini junior at the Pirates,

:08:19.:08:24.

through Truro College, to now becoming a Premiership

:08:25.:08:26.

and England regular, he is still Jack from Newlyn.

:08:27.:08:29.

To be honest, when I was home this weekend, they treat me the same.

:08:30.:08:36.

I still get to pop down to the local and have a pint now and again

:08:37.:08:40.

and a few bike rides along Newlyn Green and things.

:08:41.:08:42.

I don't think it will be too much different but, you know,

:08:43.:08:45.

It is nice to be able to share that with them.

:08:46.:08:49.

Can you talk me through this, Jack, and tell me about your dream

:08:50.:08:52.

We all got given one of them when we went on one of our tours

:08:53.:09:08.

when we were younger but I never thought I would be

:09:09.:09:11.

Let's take a look at what the weather's got

:09:12.:09:16.

It is going to be a bit of a shock when we get some rain and cloudy

:09:17.:09:30.

skies as we have had some lovely weather. It will not change

:09:31.:09:32.

dramatically over the next few days. dramatically over the next few days.

:09:33.:09:35.

The main area of whether is coming on Monday probably. Some cloud

:09:36.:09:41.

tomorrow, mostly dry and some sunshine but not quite the blue

:09:42.:09:45.

weather fronts coming down from the weather fronts coming down from the

:09:46.:09:50.

North and bumping into this high-pressure introducing more cloud

:09:51.:09:53.

and summer has come down to the Irish Sea and Wales this afternoon

:09:54.:09:58.

move across us later on. By the move across us later on. By the

:09:59.:10:05.

morning, just an outside chance of a light shower along the North Devon

:10:06.:10:12.

coast but most of us fine and dry but rather cloudy. 4-6 is minimum

:10:13.:10:18.

temperature tonight. Tomorrow, sunny spells in the morning, more cloud

:10:19.:10:22.

for all of us in general tomorrow. The chance of a light shower but

:10:23.:10:27.

most of us having a dry day. The best of the sunshine on the south

:10:28.:10:31.

coast. Similar weather on Friday. Dry, bright, a lot of cloud at

:10:32.:10:38.

times, 15-16 the top temperature. On the weather front arrives on

:10:39.:10:42.

Saturday which is a bit thicker. Still dry weather and sunshine to

:10:43.:10:45.

enjoy as we go into Sunday. Have a good night.

:10:46.:10:47.

That's how the news and weather's looking tonight.

:10:48.:10:49.

Breakfast bulletins start from 6.25 tomorrow.

:10:50.:10:50.

going into the weekend as well. A similar story across the UK. Thomas

:10:51.:11:03.

matter has that story. Good evening, before we get to the

:11:04.:11:13.

forecast, I want to show you a map which depicts how dry it has been

:11:14.:11:19.

during the course of April. Brown is below average rainfall, blue is

:11:20.:11:24.

above average. You can see how Brown the map is. Some areas in the south,

:11:25.:11:28.

some counties have only seen a few percent so far in April. Not

:11:29.:11:36.

necessarily a good thing at all. The rest of the week, not an awful lot

:11:37.:11:37.
