All three of Devon's professional football sides are in action tonight, with a mixture of league and cup matches to look forward to.

The first round of the EFL Cup has offered a mouthwatering west country derby as Plymouth Argyle make their first trip to Bristol City’s new-look Ashton Gate since 2009, while Exeter City are at home to Charlton – the lowest placed of the seeded teams in this year’s draw.

In the National League, Torquay United’s tough start to the season continues as they travel to Hampshire to take on Aldershot, another of last season's play-off teams.

You can hear full coverage and live commentary on BBC Radio Devon Sport from 19:00.

Penguins have been sent from Torquay to Portugal in the name of species conservation, and, like any other travellers these days, they had to have their paperwork in order, a zoo says.

The 20 birds travelled 1,700 miles from Devon to the Parque Zoologico de Lagos by road in a temperature-controlled van, before taking a ferry across the English Channel before being driven on to the Algarve.

The group, two breeding pairs and a collection of younger birds, is to start a new colony and the move was a recommendation from the European endangered species programme for African penguins, Living Coasts said.

Zoological collections don’t buy and sell animals – they loan, donate or swap, the Devon zoo said.

Paperwork needed to move them included: vet certificates, a letter from a vet, a letter of origin, a letter of donation and TRACES [Trade Control and Expert System] certification – the European Union accreditation for controlling the import and export of live animals and animal products.

And did they appreciate all the administrative hurdles that had to be jumped over? We won't know.

But Living Coasts curator Clare Rugg said: "They arrived and all went for a swim. They seem to be fine after their journey."

A row has broken out in Torbay over whether the council is getting into too much debt by buying up commercial buildings.

The unitary authority has taken out loans for about £80m to fund a property portfolio that includes two retail parks and an office block.

Elected Mayor Gordon Oliver wants to put a limit of a £100m on the council's borrowing, but Conservatives want it to be twice as high. A decision on what the ceiling should be will be made at a meeting tonight.

Mr Oliver said that, if his cap was not accepted, the council's total borrowing would reach £400m.

A Cornwall police officer is literally getting her skates on to work with young people and discourage them from getting involved in anti-social behaviour, the Devon and Cornwall force says.

Devon and Cornwall Police said youth intervention officer Constable Jodie Fellows would patrol skate parks in Truro, Camborne and Penzance areas on her roller skates with the aim of breaking down barriers and to try to engage with the park users

PC Fellows said: "Historically we experience increases in crime during the summer months from the 13 to 18-year-old age group. There has been some criminal damage to the council’s skate parks - mostly by those who don’t use the equipment - and graffiti. It is not pleasant for dog walkers and families with children to see."

The force added, external that the initiative would link into a project between police and Cornwall Council to get young people to help decorate parks and "encourage them to take some responsibility for their environment".

More than 40% of maternity wards in England closed their doors to expectant mothers at least once in 2016, data obtained by the Labour Party suggests.

Responding to a Freedom of Information request, 42 out of 96 trusts said they had shut maternity wards temporarily on a total of 382 occasions. The most common reasons given were too few staff and not enough beds.

The government said closures are "well rehearsed" and it was "misleading" to say they were down to staff shortages.

However, health bosses in Devon said last month that they had no option but to stop birth services at some maternity units because of staffing problems.

Units in Honiton and Okehampton were closed for three months at short notice.

The Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, which runs the service, said it did have a staff shortage due to sickness, unfilled vacancies and maternity leave.

Em Wilkinson-Brice, the trust's chief nurse, also told a health scrutiny committee that births were suspended at Tiverton on 17 occasions in June due to staffing issues.

A consultant paediatrician has told an inquest she has never seen a baby with such severe injuries as those of Cooper Johnson-Hicks, who died last year.

Dr Katherine Mallam was on duty at the Royal Cornwall Hospital when Cooper was brought in on 26 June 2016. He died later that day with serious head injuries.

Dr Mallam, who has worked in paediatrics since 1998, said: "I've never seen injuries that severe. I've never seen skull fractures to that extent."

Tristan Hicks, Cooper's father, told police he'd informed the family he had tripped over a Moses basket, causing Cooper to injure his head, earlier in the day.

Mr Hicks took his own life weeks later after being questioned on suspicion of his son's murder.

He told police he had told Cooper's mother about the fall, but other accounts at the hearing in Truro state that he did not tell anyone for at least six hours.

The inquest continues.

BBC Radio Cornwall

One of Cornwall's MPs says he doesn't believe proposals to increase council tax for second home owners and holiday lets is a solution to Cornwall's shortage of housing.

Labour Party campaigners have started a petition arguing that second homes are pushing up the prices of all housing in Cornwall, not just in resorts such as St Ives (pictured) and St Mawes.

St Ives Conservative Derek Thomas said: "The high streets that I represent in Helston, St Ives and Penzance could not survive if we didn't have a buoyant tourism industry that is fed largely by holiday lets.

"Ultimately, council tax is about providing services, so you pay your council tax in return for a service. It shouldn’t be seen as a cash cow for people we think we should penalise."

A pathologist found numerous fractures on a one-month-old baby who died last year that were "days old" an inquest has heard.

Cooper Johnson-Hicks died on 26 June 2016. He was taken to the Royal Cornwall Hospital after an incident earlier in the day when his father said he tripped over a Moses basket, causing him to fall and hit his head.

His father Tristan Hicks failed to tell anyone about the incident for about six hours, and took his own life after being arrested on suspicion of murder.

The inquest in Truro heard details of a report from Professor Charles Mangham that he found severe fractures to the skull, and 24 rib fractures in a post-mortem.

When questioning Cooper's mother, Bryony Johnson, police told her Professor Mangham said the rib injuries "would have been caused by squeezing his chest" and they were "non accidental".

He determined the most recent fractures would have been caused between two and 12 hours before his death, with others "most likely two to three days before".

When asked by the coroner, Dr Emma Carlyon if she could explain how Cooper came to have such severe injuries, Miss Johnson replied, "no".

The inquest continues.

Truro City boss Lee Hodges says striker Andrew Neal can emulate Isaac Vassell by going on to play for a club in the English Football League.

Vassell, 23, left the Cornish side for League Two Luton in July 2016 and has been linked with a move to a Championship club, while Neal scored 18 goals for Truro last season.

"He's in his early 20s, so there's a chance for him to do it," Hodges told BBC Sport.

"I think he's got a chance to go like a Vassell, and all it needs is for someone to take that chance to make him play at a higher level."
