Good evening. You are watching BBC That is all from the BBC's | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
Good evening. You are watching BBC channel islands. Our headlines | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
tonight: Mental welfare ` why depression is the number one problem | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
for those on long term sickness benefits. Things just weren't going | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
right and I stop doing things so that they became meaningless. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Plus, are the Channel Islands missing a golden opportunity in the | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
global gold market? And goodbye, Mayfair, hello, Castle | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Cornet. Monopoly gets a Guernsey make over. | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
Depression is the number one cause of people claiming long term | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
sickness benefit in Jersey. The latest figures from the Social | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Security Department show that almost a quarter of those on continuing | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
sick pay are suffering depression, stress or anxiety. Our reporter Tim | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Robinson met one islander who's battling his mental illness to | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
return to work. Stephen Le Quesne working hard at | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
The National Trust for Jersey. Today he's feeling well, but Stephen | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
suffers from severe bouts of depression. Things just weren't | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
going right and I got so low that everything was a bit meaningless. I | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
stop doing the things I enjoyed which affected the whole of my | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
life. I have a massive passion for wildlife and that completely went. I | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
was distant from the people I was closest to the most and I took no | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
joys in anything. Everything was a bit negative. It's like something | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
switched in my brain so to speak. Stephen's depression only forces him | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
to miss work occasionally, but today's statistics reveal that in | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
2012 656 people received benefits for long term sickness because of | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
depression, stress or anxiety. That's almost a quarter of all | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
people on long term sick leave, and more than double the amount off work | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
with back pain. Depression, stress and anxiety also account for 10 of | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
claims for short term sickness benefits and a fifth of jersey's | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
short term sick days. All that together costs the social | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
security department around ?6 million a year. Senator Frances Le | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Grayley says the figures are similar to previous years, but are | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
nonetheless worth worrying about. When people are on short`term | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
benefit and diagnosed with depression or anxiety, we need to | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
try and get to speak to the GP or their employer to see if we can | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
gradually introduce them back into the workplace, slowly perhaps, and | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
that means they do not actually lose their jobs or are forced onto | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
long`term benefits. Stephen is already getting help and | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
counselling, and he's able for the most part to keep his depression | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
under control and keep working. Senator Le Gresley will hope more | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
people are able to do the same if he wants to reduce the ?6 | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
million`a`year benefits bill. Landlords in Jersey can now be | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
forced to show tenants their bills. It's part of the new Residential | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Tenancy Law, which gives more rights to people renting. The Citizens | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Advice Bureau has welcomed the change. It says it empowers tenants | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
to protect themselves against overcharging. Tenants now are going | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
to be able to question the amount they are paying to their landlord. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
They will feel empowered, to be able to ask for a copy of the account and | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
if they have overpaid they will get the money swiftly returned to them. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
It gives tenants greater stability and a far greater rights. | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
A young family in Jersey had a lucky escape last night as their apartment | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
caught fire. A young doctor, Hamish Maclachlan, spotted the flames and | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
ran in to put the fire out. It had been caused by a chip pan in this | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
second storey flat in St Helier I have never done anything like that | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
before so I am not really used to it. We did... I did a course for | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
work here when we were transferring patients across to the mainland and | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
we had to do some fire training at the airport last week so those guys | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
taught me how to use fire extinguishers and we did practice in | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
a smoky environment A campaign's been launched for Jersey to have an | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Olympic`sized swimming pool. And things like that. Around 2, 00 | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
people have already supported the cause on social media. Some feel a | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
full`sized facility would allow international events to be staged in | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
the island and improve standards. The government's promising to look | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
into the possibility. There are only eight UK cities that have an | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
Olympic`sized pool. It's a growing global trade, worth | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
billions of pounds, and it's one the Channel Islands could exploit. Gold | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
is already bought and sold by businesses based in Jersey and | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
Guernsey. So could this be a golden opportunity for boosting our | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
economies? Pam Caulfield went to find out. This is what a million | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
pounds looks like in pure gold. And it's only a fraction of the precious | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
metal stored in this underground vault at a secret location in | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Guernsey. It's owned by people from around the world. Those trusted with | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
its safekeeping say the island's an ideal place to trade. Guernsey has | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
got some amazing and unique ingredients. We are surrounded by | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
water and we are not part of the EU or part of the UK. We are | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
politically stable and financially stable. We have the know`how and it | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
should not be underestimated that there is no goods and sales tax or | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
any VAT on any of the four major precious metals. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
And that's what makes them so attractive to investors. Robin's | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
company trades is platinum, palladium, silver and of course | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
gold. Just to give you an idea of what we have here, this is an ounce | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
of gold and worth $1300. This is weightier, it is a kilo which is | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
worth $40,000, in my hands right ear. | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
That's around ?25,000. But much of the precious metal traded by firms | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
in Channel Islands is stored in vaults overseas. And it's mined | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
around the world. Another company based in Jersey is exploring | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Armenia, and wants to strengthen links with other countries. If the | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
Channel Islands wants to do this it needs to think about international | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
law because some of the environments we work in, we require secure | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
international law and the knowledge we have a good treaty arrangement | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
with the host governments and things like that. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
And secure is the key word when it comes to precious metals. Traders | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
hope to expand, by marketing the islands' reputations as strong | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
financial centres, and reassure buyers their investment is safe | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
with Justin and Natalie: Why knitting a traditional frock is back | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
in fashion thanks to European funding. | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
If you thought it was hard to get on the property ladder in Guernsey | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
perhaps this one is for you. A new Bailiwick version on Monopoly was | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
launched today. It features properties and landmarks from across | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
the Islands as Penny Elderfield reports. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
A traditional game With a local twist. Well known spots up for | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
grabs. They even got in the fact there's no paid parking here. This | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
is Monopoly Guernsey style. I have got the whole day to make my | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
way around the board. I think the best way to do it is in the car but | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
I still need to know where to go. This takes me down to the Little | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Chapel. But that means passing through the first spot on the board, | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
the Old Quarter. Yours for just 60 Monopoly pounds. I am really | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
excited. I love the game and we had a lot of family arguments about it. | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
I love the fact the Old Quarter has been immortalised. Millstreet is a | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
low value area and you get quirky and unusual shops here. Next on to | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
that familiar landmark but the local references do not stop there. Other | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
aspects are designed to capture bit of local life. There are a couple of | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
corkers, being caught speeding at 16 mph, pay a ?15 fine. There are some | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
quirky ones, some really great cards. Moving on again, and heading | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
round the board, luckily escaping a stay here. Lots of real estate is | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
there for the taking. From Schools to the high street to local sporting | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
venues. I am not sure what planet would make | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
building hotels and houses here From the beginning we were inundated | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
with people from Guernsey and Sark and the reception has been great so | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
far. Back in the car again and the next stop was one of the high`end | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
spots. We thought there was a reasonable chance that Castle Corner | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
could take the Mayfair slot. ?4 0. I think that is very good value. It is | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
a bargain. All of this could be yours. Having completed my journey | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
around the board, sadly in reality I did not get to collect ?200. | :09:34. | :09:43. | |
She shows that car, I was like to being the hat but it could be worse, | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
I could be the old dog! Moving swiftly on to the weather! | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
Good evening. Very unsettled weather in the next few days but the timing | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
is such that most of the wet weather will fall after dark. Wet night but | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
during the daytime some bright weather and sunshine. That will be | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
the case with the rain clearing early on. We should see Sunny spells | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
as it largely becomes drive. A lot of low`pressure bringing cloud up. | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
It is moving very fast. Although the rain will be around for the first | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
half of the night by the middle of the day tomorrow the rain band has | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
reached the North Sea. Behind it brighter skies and sunny spells and | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
showers and another line of cloud and rain overnight will bring us | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
into Saturday. We are between weather systems and this line will | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
come through on Saturday night and into Sunday. We are getting | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
concerned about the strength of wind at the weekend. Tonight will be a | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
bit windy but the rain will Peter out by dawn. For tomorrow, rather | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
cloudy to start with but very quickly we will see dry weather and | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
sunshine through the afternoon. A brisk, southerly breeze, veering | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
south`westerly and 17 or 18 degrees, the top temperature. | :11:10. | :11:28. | |
I mentioned the weekend. On Saturday we are between weather systems. | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
There is rain from Saturday night into Sunday. Sunday will be cloudy | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
and increasingly windy and from Sunday night into Monday we could | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
have gusts of wind from around 0 or 70 miles an hour. We will have more | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
on that tomorrow. Until then, have a good evening. | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
That is how the news and weather looks in the Channel Islands this | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
evening. Tomorrow morning on radio Jersey we will hear from the racing | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
driver James Walker about the danger of high`speed sports. Goodbye. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
Businesses in a South Devon village say they could go under because of a | :12:06. | :12:37. | |
major road closure. The route between Avonwick and the A38 is | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
completely shut for repairs until December. The village shop is said | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
to be losing ?200 a week, and the pub says its takings are down by two | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
thirds. Johnny Rutherford reports. Normally, this pub would have a few | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
punters in for lunch, but the landlord says last week he had to | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
throw away a barrel of real ale due to the lack of customers. He says | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
pubs across the country are struggling to stay open, but the | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
road closure at Avonwick could be the final straw here. We have kept | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
this place open for three and a half years as a small country pub. | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
We have always paid the bills and gotten through, until now. We are | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
really struggling to pay the bills, and if it carries on as it is we | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
will not be able to come and that is the final minute. That will be the | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
end of it. The road between the A38 And Avonwick is completely shut for | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
essential repairs and will remain closed until December. | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
The impact is not just affecting the shops in Avonwick next to the | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
diversion but business is miles out of the village. Regular commuters | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
are taking their own alternative routes. This is the road the locals | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
use coming from Totnes going to Plymouth, but since the road closure | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
at Avonwick cars are turning off here to get to the A38, affecting | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
businesses up the road who rely on passing trade. | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
I am losing something between 30% and 50%, I suppose. | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
I can stick it, I can stay, but when it gets dark at 5pm I should shut | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
up. Because there are not enough cars coming past? No. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
You can see now hardly any goes up here. You get one or two but the | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
road is never as quiet as this. I don't know what you can do about it. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Businesses are hoping for compensation. | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
The landlord of the Avon in says he has approached the Highways Agency. | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
There is no compensation available, we have asked. | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Obviously we would like some help. We are a business, we pay our way, | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
we pay our taxes, our business rates, but apparently it is all one | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
way. There is nothing available for us. | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Devon county council has apologised for the inconvenience but says the | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
road closure is absolutely necessary and is trying to reopen it as | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
quickly as possible. Naval bosses at the air station in | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
Yeovilton have been reassuring the local community about huge expansion | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
plans that are about to take place. Over the next few years, 600 army | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
personnel will be joining the base. But Yeovilton insists there won't be | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
more disruption. Alice Bouverie reports. | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
The Royal Naval air Station at Yeovilton. There was no suggestion | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
the name of this place is changing, but the character of the base | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
definitely is. The army is moving in. The base is calling it | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
evolution, not revolution, but though the uniforms are different, | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
the vision is the same. What do you think the Army can bring | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
to the station? Of course, a bit of panache in the first instance. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
One of the key aspect is to bring in the long`term future, people are | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
aware of defence cuts and we will be able to guarantee a presence are | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
long way into the future, which is a good thing for the base, the Army, | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
the Navy and the local community. It is an unprecedented period of change | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
for the base. The old aircraft are going and then you are coming. | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
On the way out, the trusty seating being replaced by the Mellon. The | :16:14. | :16:25. | |
Lynx helicopter has had its day, by the Wildcat. The numbers of | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
personnel are also going up, from 4000 to 4300. It all means | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
investment on a massive scale. A lot of money is being spent, ?180 | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
million over five years on buildings and infrastructure. Yeovilton will | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
be an employer in this area for years to come. What about the | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
traffic, how will they get backwards and forwards from all these places? | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
There are still concerns from the local community about noise, low | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
flying, whether the local schools will cope with the influx of new | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
families. The naval top brass admit they do | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
not have all the answers but whether people like it or not changes in the | :17:01. | :17:22. | |
area. `` change is in the air. Firefighters are warning that a | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
poorly maintained Jimmy can have got to `` dramatic consequences. | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
David Richardson just to be a gas engineer. Two years ago, he reach a | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
trained as a chimney sweep in Plymouth as more of his customers | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
were looking to cut costs by using fires and stores. I found I was | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
removing a lot of gas fires for people were they were ripping out | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
the gas fires because they were too expensive to run. People tend to | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
find a lot more would these days, so they thought, I have an open fire, | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
it is easy to heat. Trade associations report the number of | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Jimmy sweep set up by nearly a third in the last couple of years, cashing | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
in on the surge in demand. While we were filming, a large piece | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
of cement was dislodged, an auld botch job to cap the Jimmy which | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
could have proved devastating. It could have been incredibly | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
dangerous, because the room could have backed up with smoke and if I | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
had left the room all sorts could have happened. This is what can | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
happen when a chimney fire takes hold. This would help near Falmouth | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
went up in flames two years ago and had to be extensively restored. All | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
three Fire and rescue services in the area have shown a steady | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
increase in chimney fires over the last year. I have been to a number | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
of incidents where there has been a fire which has spread from a chimney | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
and devastated the property and threatened people but Michael lives. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
I have also been to another `` and has threatened people' lives. I have | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
also been to another incident where four people were nearly killed. Both | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
situations have huge potential. The guidelines are to get a chimney | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
swept at least once a year. Saving on this could invalidate house | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
insurance or even risk lives. A very special tea set has been made | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
depicting the memories and history of elderly residents living in a | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
moorland town in Devon. It is part of an art project by a group called | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
Blazing Tales, giving people a unique way of remembering their | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
past. Spotlight's Sophie Pierce has more. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
We all like a cup of tea, so what better way of evoking special | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
memories than through a key set? People living at St Andrews Keel | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
home in Ashburton as well as others around the town have been sharing | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
their past with their stories appearing as words and pictures on | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
the tea set. `` St Andrews care home. We have made this key set full | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
of images from your stories. It was the idea of community artist Sarah | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
Hurley. From there stories we did | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
illustrations and words and `` from the stories we did words and | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
illustrations and decided which bits would go well on a tea set. On the | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
two teapots we have the golden lion of Ashburton and something that | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
represents the woollen industry... There is plenty here, including | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
memories of the floods of Ashburton. The pictures show images of how | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
relationships were formed, what jobs people used to do and how they spent | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
their time. For instance, Pamela Lodder used to be a bell ringer. I | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
just enjoyed it, once I had learnt the art of setting the Bell Inn. It | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
took me a long time to get the bill in but I got it in in the end and | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
ran regularly on Sunday mornings. That was my uncle taking along the | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
milk. He used to walk along the town carrying two `` carrying four or | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
five gallon milk cans and tipped it out into people's jogs in the | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
doorway. The tea set as is a contest what it set out to do ` get people | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
talking about their memories. More memories now. A unique piece of | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
clothing from Appledore's history is being resurrected thanks to a group | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
of ladies, their knitting needles and some funding from Europe. The | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
frock has kept generations of fishermen warm and is now all set | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
for a revival. Our North Devon reporter, Andrea Ormsby, has been to | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
take a look at it. Knitting and nice frock, that is what they call this | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
traditional Appledore fishing jersey. It is a straightforward | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
pattern. They have special banding on the shoulder which makes it the | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Appledore jumper. This is peculiar to Appledore. It is flexible and | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
moulds to your body. They are made to measure. Josie lived in place! | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
All her life and these frocks are part of history. The old ladies next | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
to one another knitting oleander telling a good tale. | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
The jumpers were made to keep each other warm and each one had its own | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
mark. The sad thing is, if a fisherman or | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
seeming `` see man was grounded they could tell really came from by his | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
jumper. They would bring back the jumper and | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
pass it around so he could be identified. Josie is passionate | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
about the Appledore frock and is keeping the tradition alive by | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
teaching these women. It is part of a project by the | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
Museum of Barnstable and North Devon and is backed by funding from North | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
Europe. It is important for funding for the museum because museums are | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
looking at funding in a broader way. We're looking at skills, people's | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
stories, and this project encompasses those personal stories | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
and traditions that have been lost through time. I have done one sleeve | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
and the body, I just have the neck and the other sleeve to pick up and | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
go around. I have done about four inches of | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
knitting and I have had to undo it again. I had to come today to start | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
again. You have a nervous breakdown. First of all it was the twisting at | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
the bottom, but we got over that, the next time it was the gusset. I | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
am now on the important bit, but it has just been lovely learning | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
together. Thanks to Josie and her, it looks like the Appledore is back | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
and fashion. `` back in fashion. That looks like | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
a good, sturdy piece of clothing and we made all need that in the next | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
few days. Yes, we have quite a big area of low | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
pressure heading our way. In the next 24 hours or so I will | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
talk about that. Good evening. We have some rain tonight, accompanying | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
that some strong winds, too. It will all blue `` blow through overnight, | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
tomorrow will be quite windy with a few showers but also some sunshine. | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
Not a bad day. For the next two days we will have rain at night and | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
mainly dry conditions in the daytime, until we get to Sandy. I | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
will come to that in a minute. `` until we get Sunday. The low | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
pressure is dominant, this line of rain is what we are seeing this | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
evening, but it gets to the North Sea by the middle of the day | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
tomorrow. Then we are left with some showers, this line of cloud here | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
will produce some outbreaks of rain tomorrow night and into Saturday. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
Saturday itself between weather systems, breezy, some showers, | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
mainly dry until Sunday night with some more wet weather. This was the | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
picture from earlier today. We had a fine start but cloud has rolled up | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
and its thick in places, producing some light rain with heavier rain | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
later this evening. This was earlier today with her mates quiet start to | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
the morning in team. `` where we had a nice quiet start. We had some mist | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
which we have not seen so far this year because it has been so windy. | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
These pictures were taken by Alec, our cameraman. A bit of low`lying | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
mist and fog but that was soon cleared because the mist was picked | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
up by the breeze. Overnight tonight it is breezy, winds becoming strong | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
with outbreaks of rain. Some of the ring will turn out quite heavy in | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
the small hours of the morning. It is moving quite fast, so by tomorrow | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
morning it is moving away, first from Cornwall then from West Devon. | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
The breeze also dropping as the rain moves out of the way. Much milder | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
than last night, real it was into single figures, tonight probably | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
know lower than 13 or 14 Celsius. Tomorrow the rain clears them for a | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
time it is dry, maybe some sunshine giving some good temperatures. We're | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
almost at the end of October and we have temperatures around 18 Celsius | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
` pretty warm for the of year. Especially so close eastern part of | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Devon into Somerset, a little cooler around the coastline with the stiff | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
southwestern breeze. For the Isles of Scilly, mainly dry, a chance of | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
more cloud in the afternoon, but sunny spells in the morning at | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
least. The breeze also from the south`west. The times of high | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
water... The surf on the north coast will be | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
a bit messy, but with an onshore breeze it is still on the choppy | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
side on the south coast. We are worried about Sunday into | :26:48. | :26:59. | |
Monday. We have quite an active area of low pressure developing. These | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
are the winds Sunday night into Monday. This little girl develops | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
and tracks across the middle of Britain bringing the strength of | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
wind. It is a deep area of low pressure, I'm usually so, and we | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
have an early warning of the strength of wind Sunday night into | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Monday. We could have gusts up to 70 mph in the small hours of the | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
morning on Monday. We will have a much better idea by this time | :27:24. | :27:32. | |
tomorrow, we will have an update for you then, but sunny intimately windy | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
conditions and at times quite wet. Thank you. Those winds looked | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
incredible. I do not like the sound of that. That is it from us this | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
evening, we are back tomorrow at 6:30pm. | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
Thank you for joining us, have a lovely evening. Good night. | :27:46. | :27:54. | |
