TRANSLATION 1:
A newly-discovered painting by an acclaimed Cornish artist Alfred Wallis has sold for 拢20,000.
Wallis became known for his naive style and maritime subject matter.
The painting by is thought to show the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland.
Alfred Wallis was born in Devon and spent most of his life as a fisherman.
His biographer, Matilda Webb thinks he saw the bridge in 1894 鈥 four years after it opened 鈥 when the St Ives fishing fleet sailed up and around the British coast.
She added that the painting suggests that Wallis travelled more widely than was previously thought.
Wallis didn鈥檛 start painting until 1925, aged 70, to combat the loneliness after his wife鈥檚 death and so Ms Webb believes he painted the bridge from memory.
The painting had been in a private collection for nearly 90 years.

A new community group which provides engineering training has been given a 拢250,000 grant by the National Lottery.
MPower Cornwall Community Interest Company has a technical training centre for science, technology, engineering, maths and construction industry skill in St Blazey.
Chief executive Duncan Mitchell said the grant would help the first intake of entrants, many of who were not in education, employment or training and some who had special needs -to learn skills to help them get jobs in engineering.
He said the team's objective was to "to equip those whom the traditional education system had not served well, with the skills that will help them into well-paid, rewarding jobs".

TRANSLATION 3:
A man from Cornwall has returned home after more than 15 months travelling around the world on his bike.
Duncan Covey left London in April 2024, cycling across Europe, Asia, Australia and more.
The ride took 477 days to complete, with stops in between, covering a total distance of more than 22,000 miles
He said the return to his home in Perranwell, had been a "long time coming."
Mr Covey said he had many positives during his trip, however, he also had his fair share of challenges.
When entering Albania, he said he had an encounter with a man with a gun who demanded money.
But he also said 鈥渢here were incredibly kind people who welcomed me into their houses, fed me or even passed bottles of water out of their windows."
He added that although it鈥檚 been a long time coming he is glad to be back.
