The price to view exhibitions at the Tate - including the Tate St Ives (pictured) - is being cut to £5 for anyone aged 16 to 25.

The £5 exhibition tickets are part of a free membership scheme called Tate Collective.

Young people will also get discounts in Tate's cafes and shops, and can bring up to three friends to shows, each for £5.

It is part of a new move under way to try and get more young people to visit art galleries. Many are free to enter, but impose charges for specialist exhibitions.

Tate is also appointing a trustee dedicated to representing the views of young people.

Tate Director Maria Balshaw said: "We are acting on what 16 to 25-year-olds say they want so that we can make changes needed for future generations."

The government said it hoped other institutions will follow Tate's example.

A fire at Torbay Hospital, which led to some of its systems being without power, was in an electrical switchboard, firefighters say.

Two fire crews were sent to the scene at about 14:30.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was out and the situation handed over to engineers from Western Power Distribution.

The blaze at the John Parkes Unit, which is shared with South Devon College, caused some patients having appointments delayed.

There are no injuries reported so far.

Former Cornish Pirates owner and current board member, Dicky Evans, says the Stadium for Cornwall is a "no-brainer" for the county.

The Kenya-based businessman sold the club in 2014 after becoming president in 1995 and has been heavily involved with the stadium plans.

"What I liked today was the fact that there are so many pros, especially for Cornwall," he said.

"We have to do this and the time is now. The business plan wasn't meant to be a profit and loss account, it was an income and expenditure plan and people got mixed up a bit.

"I've guaranteed everything. Even if I die, which is likely after today, we should be OK for the money. My family have agreed, it's written into my will."

The Stadium for Cornwall is a step closer to reality after Cornwall Council agreed to provide £3m towards the project.

At County Hall this morning, a packed council chamber heard a long debate about whether the council should provide money to the scheme near Threemilestone, which would be a home ground for the Cornish Pirates and Truro City FC, and provide facilities for Truro and Penwith College.

At the beginning of the year the stadium partners had gone to Cornwall Council to seek help to raise the last £6m needed for the £14.3m project.

The council considered the request but said it would only consider providing £3m, with the other half of the funding hoped to be provided by central government.

Many councillors spoke in favour of the stadium during the long debate, touching on the benefits to raise aspirations for young people and the health and wellbeing benefits it could bring.

Mebyon Kernow leader Dick Cole said that the project was a "no-brainer" and said it presented an opportunity for Cornwall.

Lib Dem councillor Jesse Foot said he thought the stadium could be "another jewel in the crown" for Cornwall. He said: "Yes, it is a risk, but it would be a bigger risk if we don't support this."

However, Newquay councillor John Fitter spoke against the plans saying he could not support the funding request as people he had spoken to in his area were "overwhelmingly against" it and it would "become a year-on-year drain on resources to this council".

Barry Jordan said he could not support the stadium describing it as a "stadium for Truro" and not for Cornwall.

Councillors voted 69 in favour, 41 against and several abstentions.

Cornwall Council has voted by a majority to pledge £3m of public money to the Stadium for Cornwall.

Supporters of the £14.3m project say it will "raise aspirations" in the county.

Cornwall Council has approved plans to give £3m of public money towards the county's first ever proposed stadium.

Under the plans the Stadium for Cornwall would be built on a site near Threemilestone and would be a home ground for the Cornish Pirates and Truro City FC, as well as providing business and conference facilities, plus kitchen and hospitality training facilities for Truro and Penwith College.

Planning permission for the £14m structure has already been given.

• Allan Stewart: "Great its a positive move and leaves a legacy to our future generations to enjoy. Lets hope the people of Cornwall get some free entries to say thank you for allowing their money to be spent on it"
• Lucy Hough: "Should not using council tax for this so many more important things than this!"
• Janet Lockyer: "Great news"
• Henry Cooke: "Absolutely wrong to prop up Rugby so they can pay players more"
• Mo Noall: "Please make sure hockey can be played there"
• Spencer Wimbleton: "Waste of money and in the wrong place"
• Simon Mcclary: "How long do you give it until it gets into financial difficulties?"
• Kerry Banbury: "Brilliant for Cornwall"
• Patsy Tarbox: "Cornwall Council have just increased Council tax to pay for services, if they had £3m to squander on this project why was the tax increased? This is a disgraceful cavalier attitude towards the taxpayers of Cornwall. I hope they do not tell us that they cannot afford to provide basic services after this"
• David Simmons: "Great. I think it's a positive thing for Cornwall"

Stadium for Cornwall backers are hoping to get another £3m of funding from the government.

Photos of boxes of ammunition recovered from beaches in Cornwall will be sent to ordnance experts at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to try and identify where they came from, the MoD says.

The two boxes, containing what police said looked like "anti-aircraft type shells", were found in separate discoveries on Porthbeor beach on the Roseland Peninsula and on Vault Beach in Gorran Haven over the weekend.

One box was labelled that it contained "20mm linked" shells.

The MoD said investigations had only just begun and, at this stage, it did not where the boxes have come from.

It added that they were not necessarily Royal Navy shells and they could have been from any navy in the world which had come to to the UK to train.

Once photos were taken of the shells, they would be safely destroyed, it said.

Police said people should not tamper with any similar boxes they discover as they could be "highly dangerous".

Devon MPs are calling for tougher measures to deal with fly-tippers, including powers to seize vehicles belonging to offenders and more CCTV cameras.

They've told Parliament there's been a "surge" in fly-tipping in the county and innocent people are being forced to pay to clear up the mess.

The Tory MP for Newton Abbot, Anne Marie Morris, said the efforts to catch those responsible were being hindered by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

She said: "The challenge for the DVLA is that they use data protection to withhold information about the vehicle owner, which has happened to a number of my constituents.

"When I challenge the DVLA they say: 'We do normally give evidence in these circumstances. That is not the case."

Environment Minister Therese Coffey said the government would investigate

Health bosses have again dismissed claims that they are planning to close minor injury units across the county.

Labour Party members in North Cornwall asked NHS Kernow to disclose details about plans to close minor injury units (MIUs), claiming that those in Launceston, Bude and Bodmin are "all under threat".

The group claims confidential minutes of meetings held by NHS Kernow show that it was "committed" to closing MIUs across Cornwall and replace them with a smaller number of urgent treatment centres (UTCs).

NHS Kernow said: "We would once again like to reiterate that absolutely no decisions have been made about the future number or location of any of our services.”
