A mechanical puppet - The Man Engine, external - has been unveiled in Tavistock and is on its way to Kit Hill as part of a 130-mile journey across Devon and Cornwall to celebrate local mining heritage.

The puppet marks the 10th anniversary of Cornish Mining World Heritage status being granted by Unesco. It will be on show at 20 locations as part of a two-week journey, which finishes at Geevor Tin Mine on 6 August. 

Artistic director Will Coleman said: "It's all celebrating the fact that our industry changed the whole world."

Some people living close to Cornwall's new incinerator and campaigners who are against it remain concerned about the impact it will have on people's lives, despite assurances over air quality monitoring.

The waste-to-energy incinerator in St Dennis is being fired up for its first test burn this week - five years late. It's estimated the plant, which cost about £150m, will be fully operational by the end of the year.

Cornwall Council said the plant would be properly monitored by operator Suez and the Environment Agency.

Steve Slade, from the Green Party, said: "It's reassuring to know they are prepared to give a certain amount of scrutiny, but there are still concerns over the level and content of what toxicities are going to come out of the incinerator, and where they’re going to end up. When it rains, how much of that is going to rain over Cornwall? It also seems a very large and expensive project to deal with waste that could be dealt with in a more sustainable and forward-looking manner."

Three members of school staff for deaf children in Devon have been suspended while an investigation is carried out, the BBC understands.

The police investigation into the Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education followed claims from a whistle-blower of drinking by staff on residential trips, allowing children and young people to misbehave and engage in sexual activity. There are also allegations students were manhandled by staff.

Sources involved in the inquiry have told us they received a letter detailing the claims. The concerns were raised, the letter says, but not dealt with. The academy said it was continuing "to cooperate fully with the investigation".

Efimova is barred after The International Olympic Committee said Russian athletes with previous doping bans could not compete.

"It seems to me extremely clear, she won't be there," Jon Rudd told BBC Sport. "But if our international federation is allowed to become involved and manoeuvre around that ruling, then it wouldn't surprise me if she is there."
