Good evening. for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Around 250 people have marched through Ashburton in a demonstration | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
against plans to close the town's community hospital. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
It's one of four facing closure in south Devon. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Health bosses say it's more cost effective to treat people at home. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
CHANTING: No ifs, no buts, no NHS cuts. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
A day after the news that Ashburton hospital could close, | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
I was in here, and they helped me back to health again after three | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
weeks, and then I was able to go home, and they were brilliant, | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
and we really need to keep this hospital. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
While campaigners worry about the fragility of this | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
community hospital, health bosses say that services in Torbay | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
and South Devon are just as precarious, being neither | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
sustainable, or consistently offering the required | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
CHANTING : They say cutback, we say fightback. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
The plan from the clinical commissioning group is to look | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
after more people at home and close four hospitals in Dartmouth, | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Paignton, Bovey Tracey, and here in Ashburton. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Do you think they've already made that decision? | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
I think they probably have made their decision, | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
but we're not going to lie down and take it. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
We're going to fight right to the end and hope | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
that they'll see sense, and see that we need these services | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
On Thursday, a final decision will be made about the future | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
of this hospital and the three others in South Devon. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
John Henderson, BBC Spotlight, Ashburton. | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
A driver had a lucky escape after a car plunged off a main | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
road in South Devon, and struck the side of a house. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The vehicle crashed through railings on the A379 in Yealmpton, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
becoming wedged between the property and the road. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
Police say the motorist escaped with minor injuries, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
48 tonnes of snow arrived in Exeter this morning to form a giant ski | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
It was delivered by lorry from a ski centre in Milton Keynes. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
It's all part of a snow sports competition held at the university, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
involving skiers and snowboarders performing freestyle tricks. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Freestyle is a type of skiing where people go in the air, | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
they jump off boxes, it's like parkour, but on snow. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
It's super fun, really easy to get involved in, | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Onto the sport now, and in rugby there was disappointment | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
for Exeter Chiefs, who took on the French side Clermont Auvergne | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Clermont got off to a perfect start, making it 34-0 at half time. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
In the second half, the Chiefs staged something of a comeback, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
Elsewhere, Jersey won 26-21 against Ulster, | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
the Cornish Pirates won 50-24 in their clash with Connacht, | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
In football, Yeovil drew their League Two | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
Plymouth Argyle secured their ninth away win of the season by beating | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Cheltenham thanks to a late winner from Sonny Bradley. | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
Exeter City thumped Colchester United 3-0 at St James. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
And in the National League, Torquay lost their away game | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Hundreds of people turned out for the BBC Radio Cornwall Present Aid | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
The generous Cornish public have been donating unwanted Christmas | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
gifts to raise money for local charities and community groups. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
The event is now in its thirteenth year. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Over the years, the cash has gone to various different | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
charities cross Cornwall, from the Cornwall Air Ambulance | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
to the Precious Lives Appeal, but this year, we are raising funds | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
for the BBC Radio Cornwall Appeal, which will go to very small | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
organisations in Cornwall to keep the heart of those | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Let's take a look at the weather now - here's Bee. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Whilst we have had a dry day and glimmers of sunshine, | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
it's not been particularly warm, and I think as we head | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
through tonight, we keep quite a bit of cloud. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
We will start to get some showers skirting the southern coast. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Further east, actually, where we do keep some dry | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
weather and simply spells, we could get a touch of frost, | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
but I think most towns and cities tonight will stay that little | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
So, a great start to the day tomorrow with these showers, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
I think it will tend to brighten up, particularly further east | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
in the best of the sunshine, and actually, in the afternoon, | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
quite a bit of cloud will have broken up. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Temperatures up marginally on today, so perhaps not | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
One or two spots could hit 10 degrees. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
We've got the risk of some freezing fog first thing on Monday, | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
but I think for most of us it will be dry, bright, chilly, | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
and it stays settled and mainly dry for most of next week. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
That's all the news and weather for now. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Good evening. It does not get warmer. If you check the UK as a | :04:56. | :05:21. | |
whole, it has been one of the coldest days so far. The hard frost | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
to come in areas where it stays clear, parts of East Anglia, the | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
south-east, fog across Scotland, at West, a change, showers and parts of | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
Wales and England, some snow on high ground as well. Meanwhile, down | :05:37. | :05:37. |
