TRANSLATION: The Cornwall Council leaderl says that Cornwall must not be tied in with Devon in any future devolution arrangement. Councillor Linda Taylor was commenting on the government's English Devolution white paper, which some have labelled "a grim day for Cornwall". All political groups on the council and all Cornwall鈥檚 MPs want the government to treat Cornwall as a standalone authority because of its national minority status and unique economic and social situation. The government has previously made it clear it would prefer to see Cornwall in a devolved authority with Devon or as part of a greater South West region. Taylor said Cornwall had proved it could deal with devolution but if it refused a mayor it would be "left behind".

TRANSLATION Cornwall's rugby team has a long and proud history, including more than 25 matches against international sides since first taking on New Zealand in 1905. On 6 December 1987, Cornwall took on South Korea in a match that had a lasting impact on both teams. December 1987 was a momentous month for South Korea. Ten days after the match, in Redruth, the country held its first democratic presidential election in 16 years, which started the process of becoming a US-style democracy. Only a very limited number of South Koreans were permitted to travel overseas.Cho Sung-chul, South Korea's full back for the match, said he was thrilled about going to the home of rugby.Despite losing the game 39-13, Mr Cho said it was immensely beneficial for the team.Cornwall鈥檚 Captain for the match, said South Korean rugby was in its "heyday" - the 1980s is considered a golden era for the side.

TRANSLATION A group of volunteers, known as the Wildflower Warriors, have been collecting seed by hand to "bring colour and life" to the new link road from the A30 to St Austell, which is in its last stages of construction. The Eden Project's National Wildflower Centre and volunteers have taken on the task of gathering, sowing, growing and harvesting enough wildflower seed to plant along the four-mile route.Stephanie Knights, NWC project manager, said: "We want to ensure the new road is as natural and biodiverse as possible, with an abundance of wildflowers that are typical of the Cornish countryside. photo credit: Graham's vista.
