Good evening. late news at 10:35.

The Devon man shot in the head in Antigua on Christmas Day

:00:12.:00:14.

will tonight begin his journey back to Britain by Air Ambulance

:00:15.:00:17.

37-year-old Chris Tester from Torquay was put in a coma

:00:18.:00:22.

after the attempted robbery at his parents' restaurant.

:00:23.:00:25.

But doctors in Guadeloupe, where he's currently being treated,

:00:26.:00:27.

They're expected to arrive back in Devon late tomorrow.

:00:28.:00:36.

It's absolutely critical that he gets back to the UK.

:00:37.:00:40.

I mean, he's stable and he's extremely lucky that he's alive

:00:41.:00:45.

Police in Cornwall are appealing for witnesses after a hit-and-run

:00:46.:00:52.

incident in the Mount Wise area of Newquay at about

:00:53.:00:55.

They say a 24-year-old man was reportedly thrown over a car

:00:56.:00:59.

and needed treatment for hip and knee injuries and a suspected

:01:00.:01:02.

They're trying to trace the driver and occupants of a dark grey

:01:03.:01:08.

saloon car with a partial registration of GL66.

:01:09.:01:14.

A man has been rescued after becoming stuck in the mud

:01:15.:01:17.

Coastguard rescue teams and fire crews were called to the scene

:01:18.:01:21.

beside the Camel trail near Padstow just after midday yesterday.

:01:22.:01:24.

The man had sunk up to his knees and was slowly sinking further.

:01:25.:01:28.

He was eventually freed unhurt but a bit cold and wet.

:01:29.:01:34.

Fire crews have rescued two deer stuck in a well

:01:35.:01:36.

The animals were trapped about seven feet down in two feet of water.

:01:37.:01:41.

Firefighters helped by RSPCA officers used specialist equipment

:01:42.:01:44.

Twin sisters from Devon are seeing in the New Year with babies born

:01:45.:01:51.

Kelly Ackrill and Ashleigh Davidson, from Ivybridge in Devon,

:01:52.:01:57.

had due dates two weeks apart but both babies arrived

:01:58.:02:00.

Meet River, born three weeks early, on Christmas Eve.

:02:01.:02:09.

But mum Kelly was in for an even bigger shock.

:02:10.:02:11.

Her twin sister Ashleigh was also pregnant but she

:02:12.:02:13.

However, on Christmas Day, she got a surprise call on her mobile.

:02:14.:02:20.

There was little Louella on the screen, so we've got photos

:02:21.:02:24.

taken where I'm holding him and she's holding her, literally,

:02:25.:02:28.

like, through the camera, and she said she'd him.

:02:29.:02:35.

like, through the camera, and she said she'd had him.

:02:36.:02:38.

I didn't even know that she was in labour.

:02:39.:02:40.

The two babies were born in exactly the same suite

:02:41.:02:44.

Ashleigh and Kelly say the births coming so close

:02:45.:02:47.

Yeah, it was weird, it was really strange.

:02:48.:02:50.

It was nice to see your face as well because no-one knew I was in labour,

:02:51.:02:57.

so it was just a case of saying to everyone, "Oh, by the way,

:02:58.:03:00.

I've just popped out a baby on Christmas Day!"

:03:01.:03:02.

Both women have six children between them

:03:03.:03:07.

Onto sport now, and in rugby, the Exeter Chiefs have moved up

:03:08.:03:17.

to third place in the Premiership after a superb comeback win at Bath.

:03:18.:03:20.

The Chiefs trailed by 11 points but scored two tries,

:03:21.:03:23.

both from James Short, in the last nine minutes

:03:24.:03:25.

It's the first time that Exeter have won at Bath.

:03:26.:03:33.

In football, Plymouth Argyle start 2017 as the top club in League Two.

:03:34.:03:36.

It follows their 2-0 win over Crawley.

:03:37.:03:38.

The goals came from Oscar Threlkeld and Craig Tanner.

:03:39.:03:42.

Exeter City secured their fourth win in six games.

:03:43.:03:47.

Olly Watkins scored his first senior hat-trick in the 4-1

:03:48.:03:51.

Tomorrow Exeter are at home to Leyton Orient.

:03:52.:03:58.

This afternoon, Torquay United were denied victory

:03:59.:04:00.

at Forest Green Rovers this afternoon by two goals in the last

:04:01.:04:03.

Dan Sparkes scored twice but the Gulls had to settle for a point.

:04:04.:04:10.

And finally, hundreds braved the rain and cold this afternoon

:04:11.:04:12.

to take a New Year's Day dip in the sea at Lyme Regis.

:04:13.:04:16.

The fancy dress "Lyme Lunge", as it's known, was organised

:04:17.:04:19.

by the Rotary Club to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.

:04:20.:04:22.

My very first one in 2009 was for CLIC Sargent and we got

:04:23.:04:31.

I think barely 50 people in the water, so, yes, every year

:04:32.:04:35.

we've increased our numbers up and people come from a long,

:04:36.:04:37.

I haven't done it before and they talked me into it!

:04:38.:04:46.

A bit of a wet start to the New Year but how's it looking?

:04:47.:05:01.

We've had a fairly wet day across the south-west,

:05:02.:05:06.

an awful lot of cloud out there still, but the bulk

:05:07.:05:10.

of the rain actually will start to ease as we go to tonight

:05:11.:05:13.

and further out towards the east away from the south coast it

:05:14.:05:16.

should actually be dry with some clear spells.

:05:17.:05:22.

We could see a touch of frost rurally but most of us hovering

:05:23.:05:25.

that bit above freezing, at two or three degrees.

:05:26.:05:28.

Once any early rain cloud clears, a much brighter day tomorrow.

:05:29.:05:30.

It should be dry, plenty of sunshine, light winds as well,

:05:31.:05:33.

but you will notice the temperature difference.

:05:34.:05:34.

Struggling even with the sunshine at just five or six.

:05:35.:05:43.

That does mean we're in for a fairly cold night

:05:44.:05:46.

A widespread frost but Tuesday should be dry

:05:47.:05:48.

More cloud as we head towards next weekend but largely dry.

:05:49.:05:52.

We are back later. In the meantime, a happy New Year from all of us.

:05:53.:06:00.
