Good evening, welcome to thd BBC Channel Islands. Coming up. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Guernsey's Commerce and Employment Minister defends the island's | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
finance industry after fresh concerns in the national prdss. | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
What we have to consistentlx demonstrate is how open and | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
transparent Guernsey is as ` jurisdiction, and our willingness to | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
cooperate. Plus, named and shamed ` whx | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
restaurants will have to show customers their hygiene rathngs | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
And how Alderney's beauty inspired this local author to the top of the | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
bestsellers list. Guernsey's Commerce and Employment | :00:40. | :00:54. | |
Minister has defended the island's finance industry after yet lore | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
criticism in a national mag`zine. Private Eye has published fresh | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
claims about the behaviour of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange. The | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
company was restructered at the end of last year. `` restructurdd. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Previous media coverage of the company saw Deputy Peter Harwood | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
resign as Chief Minister. Edward Sault reports. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
It was following national mddia reports about his previous role as a | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
director of the Channel Isl`nds Stock Exchange and Chairman of | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Guernsey's financial servicds regulator that Peter Harwood | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
resigned. He said it was dud to the "risk to the reputation" of the | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
office. The reason is as I stated. Now the company he was a director of | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
is facing further criticisms in the latest edition of Private Exe. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Private Eye's allegations, which the BBC has not been able to verify | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
include claims that CISX... These currently unverified | :01:46. | :02:11. | |
allegations are likely to c`use further difficulties at a thme when | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Guernsey and the islands' institutions would prefer not to be | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
in the media Spotlight. Deptty Harwood wouldn't speak on c`mera | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
today, but Guernsey's Minister for Commerce and Employment defdnded the | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
island's place as a financi`l institution. I would not be honest | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
if I didn't say it is unhelpful to Guernsey, and it is something that I | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
keep a close eye on. I think what we have to consistently demonstrate is | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
how open and transparent Gudrnsey is as a jurisdiction, and our | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
willingness to cooperate with our international partners. The Channel | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
Islands Stock Exchange is still under investigation by Guernsey s | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Financial Services Commission. The company was restructured towards the | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
end of last year and is now called the Channel Islands Securithes | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Exchange. They wouldn't comlent today. This renewed national media | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
attention, though, won't be welcome as Guernsey's politicians prepare to | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
meet this week to vote in the island's next Chief Minister. | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Staying with the finance sector 18 people connected to Ukraine, | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
including its ex`President, Viktor Yanukovych, have had financhal | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
sanctions imposed on them bx the Channel Islands. The Europe`n Union | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
agreed to freeze the assets of people suspected to have taken money | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
from the country, or violatdd human rights laws. Jersey's Financial | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Services Commission asked fhnancial firms to examine their records. It | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
aims to identify accounts connected to Viktor Yanukovych and others | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
The trial of the man accused of murdering Guernsey woman Sarah | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Groves in India resumed tod`y. Dutch national Richard De Wit is standing | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
trial in Kashmir. He denies all the charges. Today the court he`rd from | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
a neighbour of the houseboat where Sarah had been staying. The case | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
will resume at the end of the month. Kerbside recycling has begun in | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Guernsey. Householders are being asked to put paper and card out in | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
clear bags on their normal collection nights this week, with | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
tins, cans, plastic containdrs and drinks cartons collected in the blue | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
bags from next week. During the interim scheme, islanders whll still | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
have to take their glass to the bring banks. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Unhygienic restaurants and food shops in Guernsey are being named | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
and shamed. From today, any business that prepares food will havd their | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
new hygiene rating displayed on the front door. Mike Wilkins reports. | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
Consumers now have another tool in their decision box when it comes to | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
deciding where they eat and shop for food. A new hygiene star system is | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
being introduced. The best will be given five stars, and any whth fewer | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
than three stars will be closely scrutinised. Once it is running it | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
is only the cost of printing the stickers, we have the website | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
already oral `` available, `nd the ratings will be done as part of | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
routine inspections. So it hs basically a cost neutral scheme and | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
it allows us to get the information to the public. For customers, it'll | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
mean piece of mind that when a restaurant looks good on thd | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
outside, it's doing a good job inside, too. Take this fish and chip | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
shop, already awarded top m`rks with five out of five. Its owner says it | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
should improve standards by increasing competition in the | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
industry. I think people wotld be going to the same places anxway | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
because they know they are clean and they get good food. But it hs going | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
to make everybody else raisd the bar as well because it is more | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
competitive, especially if ht is all printed out for someone to read | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
they may choose where they `re going to eat based on the star rating more | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
than anything else. People `re used to choosing from a menu, and now | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
consumers in Guernsey will have even more information to help thdm decide | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
where to eat. You're watching the BBC in the | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin and Natalie... | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Find out why these brave swhmmers have been taking a dip, inspired by | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
Agatha Christie. David will be here with the weather | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
in a moment. Good news this evening for Jersey's | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
cricketers. The team are he`ding up the global rankings and havd been | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
promoted to World Cricket Ldague Division Four. A 122`run win over | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
the Cayman Islands this morning means Jersey are guaranteed one of | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
the top two spots in Division Five, and automatic promotion. Gudrnsey, | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
meanwhile, will be relegated after failing to win any of their opening | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
matches. The Chief Executivd of the Jersey Cricket Board told R`dio | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Jersey earlier it's the restlt of a lot of hard work. We worked so hard | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
in the planning and preparation With a new coach coming in late in | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
the day, effectively, he had to take on a lot of work in preparing and | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
getting to know the team. Prior to that, we spent years preparhng for | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
moments like this and it has all come together this week, whdn they | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
have played some fantastic cricket. And congratulations are also in | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
order for Roland Gauvin frol Alderney Wildlife Trust. He | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
successfully swam the Swingd today ` that's the strait between Alderney | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
and Burhou, which has some of the strongest tidal movements in the | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
world. Roland made it in ond hour and 26 minutes. He took to the water | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
to raise awareness of the plight of sea birds killed by the winter | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
storms. But there was disappointment for | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Jersey singer Jamie Lovatt, who went out of the BBC'S talent show The | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Voice at the weekend. Jamie lost his singing battle against fellow | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
hopeful Chris Royal, perforling a version of Adele's Rolling Hn The | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Deep. Panellist Ricky Wilson described him as a great singer with | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
undeniable power. Well, another Channel Islander | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
celebrating success is Alderney`based author Rachel Abbott. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Her latest book is currentlx top of online retail giant Amazon's crime | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
e`book charts, and she shardd her success with islanders at its | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
official launch on Friday. Louise Walter reports. | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
The peace, the calm, the be`utiful scenerey. `` scenery. The rdasons | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
why Alderney is the perfect place to plot murder. Well, for Rachdl | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Abbott, at least. The bestsdlling author moved here over a ye`r ago to | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
help her writing. I needed somewhere quiet and atmospheric, we c`me here | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
for a weekend and I thought, what an incredible place. I am motivated by | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
the sea, I find it a very c`lming influence. That was it, I jtst found | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
somewhere here and moved. It seems to be working for her. Rachdl's | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
success has come through self`publishing e`books. For her, it | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
was a fast way to get books on the market. But it does not guarantee | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
success. It is very easy to be a self publisher, but anyone who is | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
thinking of doing that is to ask themselves what they want to get out | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
of it. If they just want to have the book published, that is verx easy. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
If they want the maximum nulber of readers, they can make the big | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
three. If they want to actu`lly be commercially successful, it takes a | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
huge amount of work. Rachel, known locally as Sheila Rogers, shared her | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
success with islanders, launching her latest novel in Aldernex's | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
library. She admits that despite her "e`success", she still prefdrs the | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
real deal. I prefer books. H have my other home, it is packed with books. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
And I love physical books. But e`books are so convenient. Rachel is | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
currently working on her fotrth novel. It's early days yet, but | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
she's hoping to repeat the success of the first three. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
The Channel Islands have basked in glorious sunshine today, as events | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
took place to mark Commonwe`lth Day. It's designed to encourage lembers | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
of the Commonwealth to think about global issues. The Deputy B`iliff, | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
Lieutenant Governor and States members raised the Commonwe`lth | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
flag, the most southerly in the British Isles, at the Cenot`ph this | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
morning. So, is there more sunshine to come? | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
David has the weather forec`st. I think there will not be too much | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
in the way of sunshine tomorrow but over the weekend, we have | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
temperatures of 18. What a contrast! We have been unsettled for | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
three months or so. More on the way of cloud through the English | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Channel, floating in overnight. It will be around tomorrow morning It | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
could be on the cloudy side. As it will break up to sunny spells into | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
the afternoon. Some mist early in the day. Not as warm as tod`y, | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
perhaps 12 or 13. There is not a great deal of change in the weather | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
over the next few days. High pressure well and truly in charge, | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
across the UK at the moment. It moves around a little over the next | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
24 hours, but not a great role of change in the pattern. Moving from | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
tomorrow into Wednesday, sole subtle changes in the direction of the | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
wind. Becoming more southeasterly, which for our spring is a bdtter | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
chance of sunshine and highdr to bridges. " An yen overnight, brought | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
in by the brisk breeze, so overnight temperatures not falling much below | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
eight. Tomorrow, a cloudy start Throughout the morning, the cloud | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
stubborn to break up, it will, however, the afternoon. Not as warm | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
as today, 11 or 12 the top temperature. Here is the co`stal | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
waters forecast. These are the times of high water. And for the servers, | :11:37. | :11:47. | |
not much in the way of a swdll. A bit choppy on the North Coast of | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Alderney. Wednesday and Thursday, the sunshine comes back, | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
temperatures back up to 14 or 1 . Lighter winds, but the cloud returns | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
again as we move towards thd end of the week. But it is a dry spell of | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
weather. That it from the sunniest place in | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
the British Isles to know, let's join our friends in the South West. | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
those who need to be there can be seen faster. More than ?300,000 a | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
year is being made by Cornw`ll Council because their parking | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
machines don't give change. The authority says stocking mord than | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
250 pay`and`display stations with change would be too problem`tic and | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
costly and says it reinvests the money overpaid by drivers in road | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
maintenance and other transport projects. But, as Tamsin Melville's | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
been finding out, not everyone's impressed. How often does it happen | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
to you ` you find a car park space and you start scrabbling around | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
because you can't find the right change? Well it seems in Cornwall | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Council's car parks this is happening a lot. The authorhty has | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
more than 250 pay`and`displ`y machines in its car parks and new | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
figures show people not getting any change from these is netting the | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
council more than ?300,000 ` year. A bit disgusting really. Yeah, I mean | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
not everybody can afford to lose money, can they? Well I might think | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
it's OK if they spent that ?300 000 or something useful. They do | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
reinvest it into transportation so for the roads. Into society. Yeah, | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
well, I wouldn't really want it to be my money! Because I only had ?3, | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
I think I should get another 40 pence of time. But I think their | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
machine would be well capable of that. They cannot say that xou | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
haven't been warned, but thd warning is so small compared with the very | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
big thing saying "welcome". Clever. Unscrupulous. Thank you. Thd council | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
says the logistical problems of stocking all machines would be too | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
costly and points out there is a cashless mobile phone systel | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
available. You just used thd mobile phone system, what was that like? | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
Terrible. It was too long, luch too long`winded. There must be `n easier | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
way of doing it. Wouldn't that just be bringing the right changd? Yes, | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
it would. The council also says it would like to introduce a | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
pay`as`you`go system where xou pay on exit. In Devon at the region s | :14:19. | :14:27. | |
biggest hospital, staff are fighting plans to more than double their | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
parking charges. They're dud to rise to ?2.50 a day, making Derrhford the | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
most expensive of all the l`rger hospitals in the South West. Unions | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
say it'll force people to look elsewhere for work, because they | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
can't afford to pay more. There s now an online petition against the | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
new prices which could come into force next month. Emma Thom`sson | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
reports. Working out the monthly budget. Jenna is a health c`re | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
assistant at Derriford and with a baby on the way, money is thght She | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
said the increase will mean spending half a day's pay on parking every | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
month. It's going to be verx difficult, because me and mx husband | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
both work at the Trust. Therefore that's an extra ?40 to find every | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
month, which we are going to go without, because I'm a shift worker, | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
so I can't get to the hospital any other way or form, because H would | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
have to get two buses and therefore leave really late or really early | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
when buses don't run. But bosses at the hospitals say the chargds have | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
been frozen for the last five years. We do understand that everybody has | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
very specific things in thehr life and car parking needs to fit into | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
that. So it's never going to be popular to increase charges. In | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
fact, it's so unpopular that the unions have launched an onlhne | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
petition. In the first day lore than 800 people signed it. We have heard | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
from people who have just h`d just had their rents raised so they can't | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
afford either that or these parking charges and said they will leave the | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
Trust. For a Trust that strtggles to recruit anyway, that is a rhdiculous | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
situation to be in. Most of the main hospitals in the South West have a | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
sliding scale for charges. For staff like Jenna who earn around ?16, 00 a | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
year, the monthly deduction from their salary at the Royal Ddvon and | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
Exeter Hospital is ?15.40. The is halved for using the park and ride. | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
It's ?6.50 at Torbay, ?6.20 in North Devon and ?15.15 at Treliskd. At | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
Dorset County Hospital and `t Musgrove Park there are fixdd | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
monthly fees regardless of what they earn. Charges could also go up for | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
patients and visitors once the board has met at the end of the month | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Increases are always contentious, but with the strength of fedling | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
among staff here, the hospital certainly has a fight on its hands. | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
There's been a lot of reacthon to the parking stories tonight. On | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Derriford, Geraldine's been in touch via our Facebook page. She says | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
hospital staff shouldn't have to pay anything to park! Another comment | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
here asks why should nurses and doctors get reduced parking? Normal | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
working people have to pay `t least ?2 a day and they earn loads more | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
than normal people on minimtm wage. You've also had lots to say on | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
Cornwall Council getting ?300,0 0 a year, because its parking m`chines | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
don't give change. Leon asks why don't they use the money to repair | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
all the pot holes? Ann says maybe they could cut the cost of parking | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
now? Mark suggested donating the 300,000 to local charities. And | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
Roger's been in touch via F`cebook. He says: "Make sure you havd change | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
in the car! If you don't have change you have a choice ` pay a lhttle | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
over the odds or go somewhere else to park!" Onto the sport now and | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
history has been made by Exdter Chiefs over the weekend and Dave's | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
been to Sandy Park to mark the occasion. Exeter Chiefs are | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
celebrating their first appdarance in a cup time as a Premiership club. | :18:04. | :18:13. | |
It is taking place at their home stadium against Northampton. Of | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
course these will be just two of the shirts the players will be wearing | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
in that special occasion. At the 12th time of asking, Exeter Chiefs | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
managed to overcome a team they have never beaten in the Premiership In | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
the last minute Bath had thd chance to level the score at 22`22. But | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
they missed the penalty and the Devon club celebrated a rard triumph | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
over them. Their first sips 197 . I live here and to me it is mx | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
backyard. It is nice and I don't think for one minute when wd were | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
asked if we would host it dhd anyone think we would be in the final. But | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
it is for us to make the most of the opportunity. Two tries from the full | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
back set the can have cheeps up for a `` Chiefs up for the final. When | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
you think of where they havd come from the old ground and now being in | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
the final, they deserve everything. We have been waiting a whild. Burr | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
we can't wait. What does it mean as a fan watching your team here on | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
your home ground? It is brilliant that we are actually at homd and in | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
the actual final. It is really good. They will be underdogs against a | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
team who have beaten them twice this season. But their record ag`inst | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
Bath wasn't too good either. It has been a disappointing weekend for the | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
South West's football sides, apart from Yeovil who beat Sheffidld | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
Wednesday 2`0. Miller's two goals sent them on their way. But their | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
relegation rivals all won and keeps Town two points o' away frol safety. | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
Plymouth missed the chance to go into the play offs as they suffered | :20:12. | :20:23. | |
a 2`1 defeat at Bristol Rovdrs. Rovers took the winning points to | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
ensure Plymouth stay two pohnts off the top seven. Exeter City slipped | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
to fourth from the bottom of League Two after they were held by Dagenham | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
and Redbridge. Nichol gave City the lead, but that was undone in the | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
second half. Six minutes into added time i Richards rescued a point | :20:47. | :20:59. | |
Torquay United are heading for none league football after going down | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
again. They're 12 points from survive. And the regional football | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
programme tonight at 11. 20. It is called Late kickoff. Thank xou. It's | :21:10. | :21:19. | |
been a gorgeous day for a dhp ` just the job for a group of wild swimmers | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
who're recreated one of Agatha Christie's favourite swims, in | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
Torbay. We sent our very own Alec Collyer along to test the w`ter | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
Growing up in Torquay, Meadford Beach is where Agatha Christie used | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
to go for a nice dip. Perhaps she and friends even had a small party | :21:41. | :21:56. | |
there. Isn't it a superb dax for a swim? Yes, darling, let's go and | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
join the waves. Lets! Three, two, one ` yeah! Devon Wild Swimlers did | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
a half mile swim to Shag Rock and back to raise awareness for Sport | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
Relief. Well everyone will `gree it's a good cause, but the | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
camaraderie and fun you get instead of doing a sponsored walk or | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
whatever, this gives you an opportunity to enjoy it as well | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
whilst you're doing some good. Jackie swims in the sea every day. | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
How is the water today then? Stunning. Stunningly cold or | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
stunningly nice? It's perfect. It's beautiful. I don't know if Hercule | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
Poirot ever went wild swimmhng. He probably had more sense! And as the | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
swimmers returned a plot st`rted to form. Archie, darling, I have just | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
had a superb idea for a new novel. It's called Murder on Meadford. What | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
a wonderful idea! I can't s`y I actually remember the book. It | :23:10. | :23:21. | |
looked beautiful. It was like the Mediterranean. But I bet it was | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
chilly. Will the sunny weather continue? The sea temperature is | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
about nine degrees. You would notice that. Yes. We have had tempdratures | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
of 18 degrees through the wdekend. That is good for the first week in | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
March. It is a little bit cooler for today and it is colder later this | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
week. But the main story has to be one of fine and dry weather. That is | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
the message to get across. Some sunshine around, but some chilly | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
nights as well. When you look at the satellite you can see where all the | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
weather is going. It is heading with this line of cloud straight up | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
towards the Faroes and Icel`nd. That is where the low pressure is | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
heading. The reason we are settled is because we have a big arda of | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
high pressure. It doesn't change much for the next few days. It does | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
draw in some cloud tomorrow. We will have more cloud to start with. But | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
it should break up. This is the middle of the week, Wednesd`y, when | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
we remain fine and dry with sunshine. This was the cloud picture | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
from earlier, you can see there isn't a great deal of cloud for much | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
of Devon and Cornwall. For Somerset and Dorset the cloud has bedn | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
thicker and that is heading our way tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow we | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
could have a cloudy start. But let's take you back to last week. When we | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
had a bit of a different scdne across Dartmoor. Something we don't | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
see often. These picture were sent in pi Simon `` by Simon. Thdse are | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
starlings, it is almost likd a cloud in the sky. Today we have h`d some | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
sunshine and a large part of South West has had glorious weathdr today. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
The sun has been out. Some haze in the air. Just reducing the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
visibility. But it has been very pleasant and although the sda looks | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
very inviting, the sea tempdrature at the moment is quite a bit down at | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
around nine degrees. And thd forecast tonight, more cloud will | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
come in from the east and blanket emost of the south`west by tomorrow | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
morning. Temperatures down to three or four degrees. Tomorrow, the cloud | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
will be reluctant to move. But it will break up and in the afternoon | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
we will see some sunny spells with temperatures up to 12. A few places | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
might get to 14 degrees. And for the forecast for the Isles of Scilly, a | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
fine and bright day. Just a bit hazy with a brisk north`easterly breeze. | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
There are the times of high water: For surfers the surf will bd clean, | :26:18. | :26:32. | |
but not very big. But a remhnder of the tea temperatures of `` sea | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
temperatures. The winds are from the east, force four or five. And a dry | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
week. After quite a misty start on Wednesday, we will have sunshine | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
again. More cloud though on Thursday and Friday. Thank you. Loving your | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
work! Now just before we go we'd like to tell you about a new series | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
on BBC South West starting tomorrow. It's almost eight weeks since we | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
last had a through train to Plymouth or Cornwall. Yes, the repairs at | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
Whiteball tunnel, followed by the collapse of the sea wall at Dawlish | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
cut off much of the South Wdst. But was the region always so vulnerable? | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
60 years ago we had alternatives to the coastal line. Now rail bosses | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
have been told to look into possible inland railway routes. We'll explore | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
the options starting tomorrow on your BBC local radio station and on | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
Spotlight with our business correspondent Neil Gallacher. And a | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
big thank you to everyone who got in touch in our search for the family | :27:30. | :27:37. | |
of Herbert Algarve, the diary writer we featured. We have got an | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
interesting lead that we ard following up. More to come through | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
the week. Good night. | :27:44. | :27:46. |
