Head teachers fear the latest round of council cuts in Cornwall

could result in the system failing the most vulnerable children.

Schools are going to have to pay for some services

for children with special educational needs -

such as helping Sophie with her reading,

It's because of 30 million pounds of cuts the council is making

If things don't change or cuts keep being made,

Children are going to leave school having not achieved

their full potential, and that to me is terrible.

I am doubly worried for the children who have special

educational needs and who need additional support, but our budgets

A man from Jersey has been killed in a skiing

Police say 57-year-old Mark Le Swur known to many as Frank,

who came from Trinity, was skiing off-piste near Val d'Isere.

He died while being airlifted by helicopter to hospital in Grenoble.

The Foreign Office is offering support to his family.

The government is set to announce an eight million pound deal

with Leonardo Helicopters in Yeovil

to help develop unmanned helicopter drones.

The Ministry of Defence will work with the company to see how

the technology could be used to support the military in future.

A former soldier from Dorset who helped a boy

with a rare facial cleft has become the first British citizen to receive

Wayne Ingram, from Weymouth, raised ?140,000

for the boy who he first met on Army patrol in Bosnia 14 years ago.

Stefan Savic, now 18, has undergone a series of operations

Mr Ingram, a South Western Ambulance Service paramedic,

said receiving the award was a "humbling and memorable experience".

A memorial service has been held today to commemorate the war time

efforts of a teenage girl from Devon.

Kitty Trevelyan died 100 years ago tomorrow and today her name

was finally unveiled on a war memorial

100 years, almost to the day of her death,

Kitty Trevelyan was just 17 when she left the Dartmoor

Until now, her name had not been recorded

I feel really overwhelmed and happy and it is the end

For more than 50 years, Sue Robinson has been visiting

Kitty's grave in France and trying to find her family.

I was watching Spotlight, that is how I found out about it.

And I am glad that she has been honoured.

It is sad that her life was so short, and she didn't

have the advantage of seeing what happened after the war.

It is quite amazing, really, quite emotional.

And for the first time, Sue has seen a picture of Kitty.

In my head she was beautiful, and when I got the picture

she was everything I wanted her to be.

It would not have mattered what she looked like,

but she looked exactly as we thought.

Kitty signed up as a volunteer to work in the Army canteens

in France but died of pneumonia two years later at just 19.

She shall not grow old, and at the going down

of the sun and in the morning, now we can remember her as well.

There are some heavy showers to look out for for the next couple of days.

Some dry and clear weather for a time tonight but then

we will see these showers arriving from the West.

Locally, these will be quite heavy, turning wintry across the moors.

Lows of five or six degrees and remaining quite windy, as well.

So, these heavy showers with us from first thing tomorrow morning.

There's a risk of some hail and some thunder.

Again, could turn a touch wintry across the moors.

Windy throughout the day tomorrow, as well.

And it will feel cooler with highs of between seven and 9 degrees.

Tuesday, we will keep quite a few showers.

But they'll also be some sunshine, as well.

Still quite breezy on Wednesday and some rain arriving

Less cold and a bit more settled by Thursday.

Good evening. We saw the fist named storm of the season today. It was

Storm Ewan, named by the Irish meteorological service, because it

was in Ireland we expected the biggest impacts. For the rest of the

UK it was quite windy and wet, but the worst of it is making its way

towards the Northern Isles. We'll see gusts of wind here overnight to

around 60 miles an hour. Blustery in the south-east with rain moving

through. Blustery night for many areas, with some showers coming in

from the West. Some of those will contain wintry weather. Most of

England and Wales are staying about 4-5 above freezing, but colder in

some parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland, some patches of ice first

thing in the morning. From early on tomorrow, quite a crop of showers.

The showers will be heavy with a rumble of thunder and they will

contain a mix of rain, hail, sleet and snow. There should be some

sunshine in between. The best on the eastern side of Scotland. A chilly

day, five Celsius in
