feel fresh in the breeze. More rain on Thursday night.

:00:00.:00:08.

We will have an interesting chat with the insurers. And a police

:00:09.:00:33.

officer who survives this tidal surge. It was very scary. There was

:00:34.:00:43.

nothing around me apart from water. We will have a full round`up of the

:00:44.:00:47.

impact from around our islands. Also, why aren't health authorities

:00:48.:00:56.

teaching new mums the basics of thirst aid? And the weather this

:00:57.:01:00.

week does not look much better. After a reasonable start tomorrow

:01:01.:01:05.

there will be more wind and rain. More details later in the programme.

:01:06.:01:16.

Home owners and businesses around the Channel Islands are counting the

:01:17.:01:22.

cost of another weekend of storms. Strong winds and storms caused roads

:01:23.:01:29.

to be closed and properties to be flooded. A flood warning is in place

:01:30.:01:34.

tonight and in Guernsey a policewoman is recovering after

:01:35.:01:39.

being knocked down by a wave. We have two reports for you tonight.

:01:40.:01:46.

First, let's head over to Guernsey. The baby being rescued from her

:01:47.:01:53.

family's rescued house. Her hero is her dad. Her home was swamped by

:01:54.:01:59.

half a metre of water. It is only 11 months since the trees were blown

:02:00.:02:05.

down. It will be an interesting chat with the insurers. Soon after, the

:02:06.:02:11.

baby 's mother was freed from her house. In St Peter Port these shops

:02:12.:02:23.

were not spared. The only defence was sandbags. If we do have a high

:02:24.:02:31.

tide, we can put sandbags out and barricade the shop as much as

:02:32.:02:34.

possible, but there is very little we can do to stop the tide rising.

:02:35.:02:41.

But for those wanting to get to be shops and work, the journey was

:02:42.:02:48.

painfully slow. As you can see, the traffic is slow`moving. In some

:02:49.:02:52.

places it is gridlocked. It is taking people hours to get to work.

:02:53.:02:58.

The most of the day one of the island's main roads was out of

:02:59.:03:03.

action. Seasonal lips these may be, but the businesses and families

:03:04.:03:05.

these all come at a cost. Oh, my goodness me! This is about

:03:06.:03:33.

500 tonnes of rock falling. This rock for is likely to put the area

:03:34.:03:42.

out of bounds for the next few days. Other parts of the cliff face may be

:03:43.:03:47.

unsafe. We have closed off the beach so that it can be inspected and the

:03:48.:03:55.

area can be made safe. The storms did not stop the rush hour this

:03:56.:04:00.

morning. Traffic was brought to a standstill on the south coast of

:04:01.:04:04.

Jersey. This was Beaumont on Saturday night where volunteers were

:04:05.:04:09.

clearing up after flooding closed the road. This video showed a

:04:10.:04:17.

policewoman being knocked off her feet. They have been over 125,0 0

:04:18.:04:27.

views online. It was very scary It was not until I hit the wall that I

:04:28.:04:33.

knew where I was going. I knew where I was because I was obviously under

:04:34.:04:37.

the water. I used my feet and hands to get to the war as well as the

:04:38.:04:44.

left side of my body. The last few days have seen a shipping container

:04:45.:04:51.

washed up and many buildings destroyed. This is freak weather. We

:04:52.:05:00.

are advising people to stay away, the sea wall because some of the

:05:01.:05:06.

ways are on 245 feet in the air Residents and business owners will

:05:07.:05:10.

count the cost of the weekend's whether. There is still more wind

:05:11.:05:20.

and rain on the way. We will have the latest weather forecast in a few

:05:21.:05:25.

moments. A Jersey doctor could be struck off

:05:26.:05:28.

after admitting a series of faults with his practise. Dr Gamal Mohamed

:05:29.:05:32.

was asked to take an assessment of his work after concerns were raised

:05:33.:05:35.

about his performance and his relationship with patients. The

:05:36.:05:37.

medical practitioners tribunal service will decide what action to

:05:38.:05:44.

take against him. There is a risk Guernsey sit which could fail at any

:05:45.:05:50.

point. Several years ago it was estimated that it could last the

:05:51.:05:55.

tween zero and ten years. Guernsey Water will soon be carrying out a

:05:56.:06:01.

survey. It is how Guernsey has got rid of it sit which for decades but

:06:02.:06:08.

the pipe here in Belle Greve Bay will not last much longer. In storm

:06:09.:06:16.

conditions that we are experiencing at the moment, it is putting extra

:06:17.:06:22.

pressure on the pipe. We need to be careful and we are doing everything

:06:23.:06:24.

we can to protect this old lady before she actually burst. If the

:06:25.:06:32.

pipe work to fail, Guernsey Water say that the sewage will have to be

:06:33.:06:40.

pumped out onto the beach. It is not ideal, so they are trying to replace

:06:41.:06:46.

it. Having replaced the pumping station, the replacement pipe is the

:06:47.:06:54.

next stage of the work. The green area shown here is the ideal place

:06:55.:07:04.

for the sewage to be discharged We need to get the sewage away and

:07:05.:07:08.

treated to a level that is acceptable. Guernsey Water will

:07:09.:07:15.

still have to make its case to the states, but there really is no other

:07:16.:07:24.

option. Now, would you know what to do if your child was choking,

:07:25.:07:30.

bleeding or unconscious? Parents in Jersey have been learning basic

:07:31.:07:33.

first aid skills for these very situations. They have paid to do the

:07:34.:07:38.

course because first aid is not offered as part of the antenatal

:07:39.:07:47.

programme. One finger on the chin. Look down the body. Knowing what to

:07:48.:07:55.

do if your baby is on conscience. These mums and dads in Jersey have

:07:56.:07:59.

taken it upon themselves to learn first aid. They have paid for the

:08:00.:08:06.

course. I am expecting my second child in a few weeks and I want to

:08:07.:08:10.

make sure I can do everything I can if needs be. I worry that if she

:08:11.:08:17.

choked or she was not reading, I would not know what to do. That is

:08:18.:08:22.

what made me do this course. Your children are the most important

:08:23.:08:27.

thing in your life and if something happens to them, you want to be able

:08:28.:08:33.

to cope. It is the second time this course has been carried out on the

:08:34.:08:41.

Sunday, treating `` teaching vital skills to parents. These are things

:08:42.:08:50.

that could help save a life. With Georgian and infant it is about

:08:51.:08:56.

getting them treated quickly. The trip to hospital can sometimes take

:08:57.:09:03.

too long. Not only do these deals help save a life, it enables parents

:09:04.:09:07.

to know whether or not hospital treatment is needed. In the UK 0%

:09:08.:09:14.

of ambulance journeys are not needed. It is difficult to get the

:09:15.:09:18.

same sort of diggers in Jersey, but there must be a proportion that can

:09:19.:09:24.

be managed at home. I think at least one or two cases a day of small

:09:25.:09:27.

children that we see can be managed at home. First aid is not taught to

:09:28.:09:33.

those expecting food the hospital's antenatal programmes. It is

:09:34.:09:40.

important for parents to know what to do when the situation

:09:41.:09:48.

necessitates. David, are we over the worst of the weather? We are for

:09:49.:09:53.

tonight and tomorrow, but there is more deep pressure heading our way.

:09:54.:10:01.

The tyres will not be as high. We have moved off the really high

:10:02.:10:08.

tides. The is still reign in the forecast, but it is a quieter day.

:10:09.:10:15.

It will be a bright start. Apart from a few showers, it should be

:10:16.:10:27.

mainly dry. The low pressure is moving towards ours quickly and it

:10:28.:10:30.

is getting deeper and deeper. Why the time it gets to the western end

:10:31.:10:34.

of the English Channel, it will be very deep. Expect another spell of

:10:35.:10:41.

stormy weather from tomorrow evening. The winds will be from the

:10:42.:10:53.

South East. Overnight tonight, any rain will fade away. It will turn

:10:54.:10:57.

colder as well with temperatures dropping to four or five degrees. A

:10:58.:11:05.

cold but bright start tomorrow. We will have some sunshine. Through the

:11:06.:11:10.

day the cloud will increase them by the end of the afternoon, generally

:11:11.:11:14.

rather cloudy conditions. The winds will strengthen and it will become a

:11:15.:11:21.

bit of a worry. Here are the coastal waters:

:11:22.:11:28.

surfing conditions will be quite choppy. We are concerned about heavy

:11:29.:11:50.

rain and those south`westerly gales. That is it from me. There will be

:11:51.:11:54.

more photographs and video footage from the weekend on our Facebook

:11:55.:11:56.

page. That is it for now. Goodbye. managers, clinical staff, patients

:11:57.:12:08.

and service users. Families living on a housing estate

:12:09.:12:11.

are worried their homes could fall twenty feet down a bank on to a row

:12:12.:12:16.

of houses below. Their back gardens have dropped after a landslip more

:12:17.:12:19.

than a year ago, and recent heavy rain has made the situation worse.

:12:20.:12:25.

Spotlight's Chris Lyddon reports. This garden in Ottery St Mary is

:12:26.:12:32.

teetering on the edge. A void has opened up under this decking.

:12:33.:12:36.

The whole hillside has sunken down, but also pushed out as well.

:12:37.:12:41.

So it's all gone that way and down that way ` about 20 feet or so?

:12:42.:12:45.

Absolutely. It's continually getting worse with all the rain that we

:12:46.:12:49.

continue to have. In the winter, you get heavy continual rain. In the

:12:50.:12:52.

summer, you get heavy downpours. Both of which have contributed to

:12:53.:12:56.

where we are today. The landslip happened over a year

:12:57.:12:59.

ago, and more debris slips every time it rains. Three insurance

:13:00.:13:03.

companies are involved, but no one will admit liability. It's the same

:13:04.:13:08.

situation for neighbour Sally. She lives here with her husband and

:13:09.:13:13.

young family. When it rains, I'm lying in bed, and

:13:14.:13:18.

every noise I hear, I think, are we going to have to evacuate? We have a

:13:19.:13:24.

bit of an evacuation plan. My husband will grab my daughter, and

:13:25.:13:27.

I'll grab Robert, and we'll go. I'm kind of banking on the hope that it

:13:28.:13:31.

will make so much noise that, if the bank goes first, we've got time to

:13:32.:13:38.

get outside safely. East Devon District Council told us

:13:39.:13:42.

it was aware of the problem, but said it was unclear whether it had

:13:43.:13:45.

the power to intervene. It's seeking legal advice.

:13:46.:13:54.

Time for the sport and Dave's been reflecting on a certain Cornishman's

:13:55.:13:59.

debut for the England rugby team. Jack Knowles's England debut ended

:14:00.:14:02.

in a dramatic 26`24 defeat in France, in the six Nations opener.

:14:03.:14:07.

But the 20`year`old didn't let himself down, in what was the

:14:08.:14:10.

toughest possible start to an international career. Former rugby

:14:11.:14:14.

professional Andy Burkett joins me this evening. How do you think Jack

:14:15.:14:18.

performed? His first 15 minutes of

:14:19.:14:21.

international rugby was a pretty torrid affair. He couldn't have got

:14:22.:14:26.

off to a worse start. Right from the kick`off, the forwards made a bit of

:14:27.:14:30.

a mess of this, and the ball somehow came through to Jack, who knocked on

:14:31.:14:34.

with his first touch. That error was compounded with the French going on

:14:35.:14:37.

to score 30 seconds later. But he came back fighting, and he had two

:14:38.:14:41.

ways he could have gone ` he could have gone into his shell, but he

:14:42.:14:45.

kept on fighting. Here he is carrying the ball, he got driven

:14:46.:14:48.

backwards. He must have been thinking, this international rugby

:14:49.:14:51.

is a different sport! But he's made of stern stuff. He also made the

:14:52.:14:55.

most yards of any of the England players by the end. This tackle on

:14:56.:14:59.

Picamoles was the pick of the bunch. There was no getting through him `

:15:00.:15:02.

defensively, he's very strong. Do you think Jack earned himself a

:15:03.:15:06.

place in the starting line`up for next Saturday's international

:15:07.:15:08.

against Scotland? I think he deserves another go. He

:15:09.:15:12.

did some good things in that match on Saturday. He had some nervy

:15:13.:15:16.

moments, but all in all, he did well for himself.

:15:17.:15:20.

Let's turn to Exeter Chiefs, and they've qualified last four for the

:15:21.:15:23.

semifinals of the IV Cup, or the Anglo`Welsh Cup. They'll play Bath

:15:24.:15:26.

away, after a handsome win at Worcester Warriors.

:15:27.:15:32.

Worcester didn't put up much of a fight. Tom James scored the first of

:15:33.:15:36.

the tries at the start. But they probably didn't expect to get

:15:37.:15:39.

through to the semifinals, going into the weekend's matters. It was

:15:40.:15:45.

only Sale getting pipped by the Ospreys that set that up. Quick

:15:46.:15:48.

feet, sending Gareth Steenson under the post. He won't get much easier

:15:49.:15:51.

conversion than that. It's good to see Hayden Thomas back out there. He

:15:52.:15:55.

scored two in the second half. The final is at Sandy Park, so should

:15:56.:15:58.

they get through against Bath that'll be something to look for

:15:59.:16:00.

two. Let's have a quick look at the

:16:01.:16:04.

championship table. A good win for Plymouth Albion, but a draw for

:16:05.:16:07.

Cornish Pirates at home to Ealing. If you were putting money on it this

:16:08.:16:11.

weekend, you'd have lost the lot. A surprising win against London Welsh,

:16:12.:16:14.

but well done. The Pirates probably expected a bit more out of that game

:16:15.:16:17.

at Ealing. Lovely, Andy, thanks very much your

:16:18.:16:19.

company. Let's continue with football. Yeovil

:16:20.:16:24.

Town couldn't produce a championship double over Nottingham Forest. After

:16:25.:16:27.

beating them 3`1 last October, they went down by the same score

:16:28.:16:31.

yesterday. An own goal by Byron Webster put Forest on their way.

:16:32.:16:34.

They went behind again after the interval, with the third goal coming

:16:35.:16:37.

in the final minute to keep Town rock bottom of the championship

:16:38.:16:46.

table. In league two, only Torquay United

:16:47.:16:49.

came away victorious, as Chris Hargreaves made it two wins from

:16:50.:16:52.

three as their new manager. Billy Bowden was the hero, with the only

:16:53.:16:56.

goal in the first half against Portsmouth. Despite winning, United

:16:57.:16:58.

remain in the bottom two places. Plymouth Argyle faced defeat at home

:16:59.:17:02.

to Mansfield Town, but in the sixth minute of added time Alessandra

:17:03.:17:05.

earned them a 1`all draw. Exeter city are only five points away from

:17:06.:17:08.

danger, after their 1`all draw against Burton Albion. Their own

:17:09.:17:11.

goal rendered that advantage immediately afterwards.

:17:12.:17:23.

Finally, Plymouth diver Tom Daley has won his first title of the

:17:24.:17:26.

season, with victory at the ten metre platform at the National cup

:17:27.:17:29.

in Southend. He received 9.5s for his first 3.5 somersaults with tuck.

:17:30.:17:44.

Exeter has one of the oldest synagogues in the country and this

:17:45.:17:48.

year it celebrates its 250th anniversary. In tonight's Inside Out

:17:49.:17:52.

programme, BBC Radio Devon presenter Judi Spiers delves into her own

:17:53.:17:56.

background to bring us the story of Exeter's Jewish community including

:17:57.:17:58.

a rare glimpse inside it's synagogue. Judi joins me now.

:17:59.:18:13.

What did you discover about the history of the synagogue?

:18:14.:18:21.

Everything. I had no idea there was a Jewish community from 1177. That's

:18:22.:18:26.

the synagogue was a year younger than our synagogue. I learned

:18:27.:18:34.

everything about it. It's become very popular recently,

:18:35.:18:39.

hasn't it? It's a very inclusive synagogue now.

:18:40.:18:47.

This is Richard, showing us around the Tories. Those are our law. ``

:18:48.:19:09.

Torahs. Some of those scrolls go back to 1400, so you mustn't touch

:19:10.:19:15.

them with your greasy fingers. You had quite a good chat to Frank

:19:16.:19:23.

during programme? He's a great historian. He took us

:19:24.:19:37.

to the archives. I may not have long hair now, but

:19:38.:19:41.

people back then thought of me as a bit of a hippy. A few of us, who

:19:42.:19:46.

were sort of hippies, were settling down and having families. We got

:19:47.:19:48.

involved in the synagogue, started having services, started having

:19:49.:19:51.

parties, started having a sense of community again. That's what has

:19:52.:19:54.

continued. We also tried to be inclusive, to welcome everybody.

:19:55.:19:57.

You mentioned that you grew up going to the synagogue in Plymouth ` how

:19:58.:20:04.

does it differ? The Plymouth community is more

:20:05.:20:08.

orthodox. They want to keep it that way, whereas Exeter wants to be more

:20:09.:20:12.

inclusive. They have history meetings, and teach Yiddish. They

:20:13.:20:17.

will take non`Jewish people will stop lots of schools visit, and it's

:20:18.:20:22.

a lot more proactive. They will have traditional services as well, but

:20:23.:20:26.

they will also have more inclusive services. It's so successful, and so

:20:27.:20:35.

many people want to go to it, that at times you may have to book a

:20:36.:20:43.

seat! And a fascinating view two nights of

:20:44.:20:57.

the synagogue's history. There were a lot of skilled men who

:20:58.:21:03.

came back to Exeter, including Ezequiel, who trained as a

:21:04.:21:10.

silversmith. There was Alexander, who was an optician. In the 20th

:21:11.:21:17.

century, there was Herschel Smith who patented the contraceptive pill.

:21:18.:21:21.

Quite an interesting bunch of people our Jewish community.

:21:22.:21:27.

Fascinating. Thank you very much Judi. And you can find out more on

:21:28.:21:31.

Inside Out tonight at 7.30 on BBC One.

:21:32.:21:34.

A cinema, which in its heyday counted Agatha Christie as one of

:21:35.:21:37.

its regular visitors, could reopen fourteen years after final end

:21:38.:21:40.

credits. The Paignton Picture House was reputedly the oldest

:21:41.:21:42.

purpose`built cinema in Western Europe. Now, as John Ayres reports,

:21:43.:21:45.

there are plans for the projectors to roll once again.

:21:46.:21:54.

Back in its day, the painting picture house represented a small

:21:55.:21:59.

piece of history. In 1999, the number of cinemagoers was falling,

:22:00.:22:04.

and a multiplex was on its way. They want to turn it into an office. The

:22:05.:22:11.

cinema was closed, but the council stood in the way. The railways had a

:22:12.:22:18.

change of heart, and this little cinema is on its way back.

:22:19.:22:25.

The trust has come at the right time to be able to work with everything

:22:26.:22:30.

this cinema has going for it. It has a lot of support in the community.

:22:31.:22:34.

This is something that everybody who needs to be behind it is behind.

:22:35.:22:40.

I trust has been set up to bring the cinema back to life. Today, they

:22:41.:22:47.

took the first looked at the projector, which in its day was in

:22:48.:22:53.

immaculate condition. It needs a lot of work, but this is

:22:54.:22:58.

brilliant news, that we are actually moving with it again. There have

:22:59.:23:02.

been so many attempts by good people, genuinely interested in the

:23:03.:23:07.

place. But it looks like everything is resolved now.

:23:08.:23:13.

The cinema was a regular haunt of Agatha Christie. It will emphasise

:23:14.:23:20.

its heritage when it reopens. I'm sure it will be unrivalled in

:23:21.:23:24.

terms of the experience. It'll be quite different to going down to

:23:25.:23:28.

local multiplex. This will be living history.

:23:29.:23:35.

The trust hopes to restore the cinema to how it was at its peak. It

:23:36.:23:39.

is expected to take between three and five years.

:23:40.:23:46.

A surfer from Devon has survived a fall on a huge wave caused by a

:23:47.:23:50.

storm in Portugal. Andrew Cotton, a plumber from Braunton, was at Saint

:23:51.:23:52.

Nazare when these dramatic pictures were taken. He told Spotlight the

:23:53.:23:56.

fall was pretty bad, but he was using a new inflatable vest which

:23:57.:24:00.

meant he shot up safely to the surface.

:24:01.:24:13.

We've got a few big waves of our own, around our coastline. Let's get

:24:14.:24:14.

the weather. I wish I could give you a spell of

:24:15.:24:24.

quiet and dry weather, though the wind is due East tonight. The high
