The RSPCA says there's been a "big increase" in the number of complaints it's getting from people in Devon about so-called puppy farms.

The charity says it had almost 90 calls from people in the county last year compared to about 30 a decade ago.

The numbers are mirrored nationally with about 4,500 overall complaints last year.

The RSPCA is asking people to think twice before taking on a puppy at the start of the school holidays and to consider taking on a rescue animal.

A yachtsman has rescued a person believed to be "intoxicated" from a river in the early hours.

He rescued the person before the emergency services arrived.

The Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat was launched shortly after 04:00 after reports of a person in the water near Malpas, who was believed to have been intoxicated.

Falmouth Coastguard said the person was taken to hospital as a precaution.

First thing there will be fairly extensive areas of low cloud, but as the day continues the cloud will clear with spells of sunshine.

It should remain dry throughout, but the odd shower is still possible.
