The Conservative MP for Totnes Sarah Woollaston, who chairs

:00:10.:00:16.

the Commons Health Committee, has criticised her own government over

:00:17.:00:18.

It follows comments from Theresa May, who expressed frustration

:00:19.:00:25.

at the failure of more GP practices to open seven days a week

:00:26.:00:28.

amid growing demand on NHS hospital services.

:00:29.:00:33.

But Dr Woollaston today took to social media, accusing

:00:34.:00:38.

the Prime Minister of making GPs the scapegoats for an

:00:39.:00:40.

Devon Somerset Fire and Rescue Service has been holding

:00:41.:00:46.

taster sessions for potential recruits as it looks to take

:00:47.:00:48.

on the first full time firefighters for eight years.

:00:49.:00:51.

Around 200 people took part in the sessions

:00:52.:00:53.

in Exeter and Taunton, which included demonstrations

:00:54.:00:54.

of breathing apparatus and fitness tests.

:00:55.:00:56.

The service is looking to recruit 16 firefighters.

:00:57.:01:03.

We've had a period of time where we haven't

:01:04.:01:06.

recruited because we had to

:01:07.:01:11.

look at our resourcing against the backdrop

:01:12.:01:13.

But now we know we've got an ageing workforce of operational staff

:01:14.:01:19.

reaching towards the end of their career, and we need

:01:20.:01:21.

staff to employ now, start training them now so they can

:01:22.:01:24.

replace that workforce in the future.

:01:25.:01:26.

A former fire fighter who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress

:01:27.:01:30.

disorder is now helping others with PTSD through the

:01:31.:01:32.

Glen Gorman found that his love of taking pictures

:01:33.:01:39.

Now, as a successful photographer, he's set up free workshops to help

:01:40.:01:46.

emergency service and military personnel with mental health issues.

:01:47.:01:51.

Johnny Rutherford has been along to his studios in Liskeard.

Sharing a passion that helps soothe the pain.

And if you look through the eyepiece and press the shutter release button

:02:03.:02:05.

He is running workshops to sharpen the mind of

:02:06.:02:11.

people living with mental health issues, by focusing on something

:02:12.:02:13.

which can be enjoyable and rewarding, photography.

:02:14.:02:17.

In 2003 I was diagnosed with PTSD as part of

:02:18.:02:21.

One of the things I found helped enormously

:02:22.:02:27.

was immersing myself into my hobby, which is photography.

:02:28.:02:30.

It helped to divert my attention away from some

:02:31.:02:32.

of the intrusive and unwanted thoughts I was having.

:02:33.:02:35.

You get a different perspective just by altering your angle slightly.

:02:36.:02:42.

The free workshops are geared to support

:02:43.:02:45.

people living with mental health issues, like Mike Cruz, who was a

:02:46.:02:48.

policeman in the Metropolitan Police.

:02:49.:02:52.

In a couple of cases I was really bad with stress and had time

:02:53.:02:55.

When you feel those days coming on, you

:02:56.:02:58.

can feel yourself going into like a black hole, if you like,

:02:59.:03:01.

and it's nice to not go beyond the rim.

:03:02.:03:05.

So if you can find you're on the rim and

:03:06.:03:09.

actually divert it by doing something like photography, you can

:03:10.:03:11.

potentially stop yourself going into the black hole.

:03:12.:03:18.

The workshops include displaying finished

:03:19.:03:19.

photographs with a possible exhibition in the future.

:03:33.:03:37.

after an impressive 3-0 win away at Grimsby.

:03:38.:03:39.

And Yeovil drew 1-1 away at Wycombe Wanderers.

:03:40.:03:41.

In the National League Torquay were beaten 2-1 at home by Woking.

:03:42.:03:47.

In rugby, the Exeter Chiefs will try to keep their faint hopes

:03:48.:03:49.

In League One, Plymouth Albion beat Esher at Brickfields

We've finally seen some decent spells of sunshine today

:04:04.:04:12.

across the South West and unlike yesterday

:04:13.:04:14.

those winds have been a little bit lighter.

:04:15.:04:16.

on the north-westerly breeze overnight.

:04:17.:04:18.

Quite a bit of cloud, a lot of low cloud forming as well.

:04:19.:04:22.

These are the values for the towns and cities.

:04:23.:04:24.

Still relatively cold air across the top of us,

:04:25.:04:27.

so we could see a bit of frost rurally.

:04:28.:04:29.

That means we could have a bit of ice first thing tomorrow.

:04:30.:04:33.

Any wintery conditions tends to turn to rain as we go through the day,

:04:34.:04:36.

For most of us it'll be grey, cloudy, damp and

:04:37.:04:41.

Most places make it into double figures with

:04:42.:04:45.

Milder and largely cloudy for the start of next week.

:04:46.:04:51.

We should see brighter conditions return on

:04:52.:04:56.

Wednesday, but it will turn that little bit colder.

:04:57.:04:58.

Our next news is at 6.20 tomorrow evening.

:04:59.:05:13.

Getting the detail of this cold snap is proving to be challenging and

:05:14.:05:19.

will continue to be so over the next 24 hours. Ice around across eastern

:05:20.:05:22.

parts after the earlier showers then rain pushing in from Northern

:05:23.:05:27.

Ireland across Scotland and a period of snow across eastern Scotland

:05:28.:05:32.

temporarily. It will extend into northern Wales and England too. A

:05:33.:05:37.

chilly night across the East, much milder. Tomorrow, everything nudges

:05:38.:05:42.

further east which gives us an issue because a period of snow across

Lincolnshire and
