Good evening and welcome to the BBC On BBC | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC in the Channel Islands. Our | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
headlines this Thursday: A fresh appeal for witnesses of historic | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
abuse, but will this new inquiry help victims and will it lead to | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
prosecutions? We are independent and transparent. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
We are associated with no jersey institution. We are listening for | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
them to tell their story and want to give them a voice. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Plus, calls for better funding for mental health after one man's nine | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
month wait for counselling. It escalated which led me unfortunately | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
to make a three suicide attempt in eight days. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
And why a much`loved Guernsey playground is closing but it'll be | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
back and better than ever for summer. | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
There's an appeal tonight for witnesses to child abuse in Jersey's | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
care system to come forward, by the panel looking into historic | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
allegations in the island. Police began investigating claims of abuse | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
at the former childrens' home at Haut De La Garenne in 2006, but it | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
was the launch of a murder investigation at the site in 2008 | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
that thrust Jersey's care system into the international spotlight. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Detectives later said there was no evidence that any children had been | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
murdered. But seven people were successfully prosecuted in relation | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
to abuse. A compensation scheme for victims was launched in 2012. This | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
latest inquiry was approved by the States last year and will officially | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
launch at the start of April. Louise Walter has the details. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
The murder investigation launched here might not in the end have found | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
evidence of that particular crime, but it did put Jersey's Care system | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
squarely in the public eye. People came forward with their stories of | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
their time in care. Some shared their experiences with the BBC's | :02:01. | :02:12. | |
Inside Out programme. He came back from work and he picked up the | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
badminton racket and I saw him whacked my little brother around the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
legs and he broke the racket on its legs. Anything we did wrong we would | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
be punished with. If we spoke out of turn we would have our mouths | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
watched `` washed out with soap. The Independent Jersey Care Inquiry | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
is not the first to investigate historic cases of abuse. Indeed, as | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
well as the original three year police investigation, there have | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
been eight independent reports since 2008. But throughout it all there's | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
been claims and counter claims of a cover up culture in the island. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Today the woman in charge said she could reassure people of the | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
inquiry's impartiality. We are independent and transparent. We are | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
associated with no jersey institution. We are listening for | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
them to tell their story and we want to give them a voice. In that way we | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
can look rigorous Lee, robust glee at their care system over these many | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
years in the hope, as I have said, that the islands can now move | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
forward. Today's call for witnesses is welcomed by Jersey Care Leavers | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Association and they hope it could lead to future prosecutions. A lot | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
of people have bottled up their experiences for decades and they | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
were told they were liars and they were not believed. This is the time | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
where they are going to be listened to and they can tell their story and | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
they will be heard and dealt with with compassion and understanding | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
instead of criticism. The inquiry will launch officially at the start | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
of April. And there's more information about | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
how to get in touch with the inquiry on the BBC Jersey website. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
A man from Jersey is campaigning for a better mental health service | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
because he thinks the current system is failing people in need. Mark | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Leonard has struggled with severe depression and tried to take his own | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
life several times last year. He says the waiting times to see a | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
specialist for mental health problems are too long, and some | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
desperate people need help sooner rather than later. Jen Smith reports | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Mark Leonard is feeling positive at the moment. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
But that's not always the case. Last year he hit the lowest point of his | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
life. Unfortunately from August 2013 it sort of escalated. It led me | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
unfortunately two to `` it led me unfortunately to attempt a three | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
suicide attempts in eight days. Mark sought help from a psychologist but | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
was told the wait to see one could be up to nine months. He doesn't | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
think that's good enough, and is campaigning for a better service. I | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
can understand why the length of times, I know they are a busy | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
department and a lot of people have issues but when you are suffering as | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
low as I was, you want help almost immediately. I know it sounds | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
selfish but it is not. And today the issue of waiting times for mental | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
health patients was raised before a government scrutiny panel and it | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
seems political pressure for better care is mounting. This case is not | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
new unique. I came across a lot of cases last year where they have also | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
come up against this wall and they have ended up in hospital and they | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
cost even more resources and time. If we deal with it more quickly at | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
the psychological level, then we can save money in hospital time and in | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
resource time. Jersey's Health and Social Services | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
department declined an interview on camera but did send us a statement. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
In it it says it can't discuss individual cases for reasons of | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
confidentiality and it wouldn't be in Mark's best interests. But it did | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
say it's experienced a significant increase in referrals, on average 45 | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
a week. There's to be substantial investment in services over the next | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
two years, leading to the appointment of 13 staff. | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
Mark's worried the current long wait could end in tragedy. He hopes he's | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
listened to before then. In other news today: A man had to be | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
cut out of a car after a road accident in Jersey this morning. | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
This was the scene outside the Royal Hotel in St Helier. Fire crews and | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
the police were called after the car over`turned. Roads were closed and | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
buses diverted. The man rescued was taken to hospital. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
Guernsey's new Chief Minister would like to see a reduction in the size | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
of the states. Deputy Jonathon Le Tocq was elected to the post | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
yesterday after Peter Harwood resigned. The Chief Minister thinks | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
eight or even seven government departments would be sufficient | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
rather than the current ten. You're watching the BBC in the | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin and | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Natalie: How changing the landscape could help prevent these ancient | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
steps being washed away. Jersey's cricketers are celebrating | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
after they won the World League Five final in Malaysia earlier. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
This is the team celebrating. They beat the hosts by 71 runs. Both | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
teams are promoted to Division Five and will play in Singapore this | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
summer. Meanwhile already`relegated Guernsey got their first win of the | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
tournament, beating the Cayman Islands by seven wickets. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Next, It's something islanders young and old will remember but this | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
weekend will see the end of an era in Guernsey. The playground at | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
Saumarez Park will shut on Monday ahead of an upgrade worth hundreds | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
of thousands of pounds. Children enjoying the playground at | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Sausmarez Park, using this ageing equipment for the final time. It'll | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
close on Monday for work to get underway to create a brand new play | :07:32. | :07:41. | |
area. It is lovely for the kids and what they are going to do will be | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
amazing because we need more for the kids. It will be great. It would be | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
nice if a toddler zone was completed around about the same time. Charlie | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
is young and he will be missing out. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
The centrepiece will a huge pirate ship, in a park that was once the | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
home of one of Britain's most famous naval heros, Admiral de Saumarez | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Phase one, including the pirate ship, should be open in time for the | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
school summer holidays. This playground was built 20 years | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
ago and it was privately funded. This year there has been a struggle | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
to get the funding. The funding has relied on whole community support so | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
we have not had the benefit of a large trust but it reinforces the | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
fact that we are at phase one and we have more phases to go after this | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
and we still need phases `` funding for those phases. The pirate ship | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
should be open in time for the school summer holidays. Beyond that | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
the developers are hoping to build a boating lake, a skateboard area and | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
install adult gym equipment so that it's an area not just for children | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
but for the whole family. Dense fog grounded flights at | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Airports across the Channel Islands today. This was Guernsey airport | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
this morning as passengers tried to board a flight to Gatwick. Meanwhile | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
fog blanketed much of St Peter Port too. This was the scene from Bulwer | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Avenue. And it was a similar picture in Jersey. This was the view across | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
to Elizabeth Castle, if you can see it! Elsewhere, at St Helier harbour, | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
the Goodwill freight ship clipped the bridge that connects boats to | :09:25. | :09:34. | |
the quayside, causing minor damage. I think they call it pieces, is it | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
going lift? It will lift but not until the | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
afternoon. There will still be problems overnight and tomorrow | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
morning some flights could well be disrupted. A better chance for it to | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
lift in the afternoon but it could be a murky morning. We have a | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
warning about the fog from the Jersey Met Office. It will continue | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
first thing in the morning. Most of the weather fronts and areas of low | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
pressure are a long way from us here. Nothing is really changing in | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
the pattern. High pressure is still in charge and it moves away | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
gradually towards the weekend. The wind comes from the north`west and | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
it is freshening and it will bring cleaner air and less mist and fog. | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
It will lower the temperature somewhat. A contrast in | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
temperatures. Where we have seen sunshine we have had temperatures in | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
double figures but where the mist has stuck it has not been warm. The | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
mist and low cloud and fog is re`forming and becomes extensive | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
overnight. It is not just inland but also out to sea. Temperatures could | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
drop to six degrees. A misty and foggy start to the day tomorrow. A | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
gradual slipping away of the mist and fog towards the south`east as | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
the winds develops. The wind will push a lot of the mist and fog out | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
of the way. There is the forecast for the coastal waters. | :11:07. | :11:21. | |
Not much for our surfers. Slightly more waves on the north coast of | :11:22. | :11:30. | |
Guernsey. If you are travelling early tomorrow morning stay tuned to | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
BBC Radio Guernsey and BBC Radio jersey for updates on whether the | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
mist and fog is causing problems. The forecast as we go into the | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
weekend is not too bad. Saturday and Sunday will be dry with both days | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
having the possibility of sunny spells. It will feel better because | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
there will be less mist and fog around. More cloud next week but the | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
most important story is that it stays dry or through the weekend. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
Have a good evening. Thank you very much. Travel and | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
weather updates from 6am tomorrow on BBC Radio Guernsey and BBC Radio | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
jersey. That is it for now. I will have updates at 8am `` 8pm and | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
10:25pm. Now here is Justin and Natalie. Goodbye. | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
incredibly hard. Coming up next: We'll investigate an | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
inland route for the main rail line first considered in the 1930s. Plus. | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Protecting this ancient crossing. Find out what steps are being taken | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
to ensure it isn't washed away And the twins taking on an Arctic | :12:44. | :12:44. | |
challenge with one foot in the past. This week we're looking at how the | :12:45. | :12:57. | |
railway maps of the past could shape a future inland rail line into the | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
region. Rail planners are considering a new route to | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
supplement the Dawlish line. One much`discussed line is an idea from | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
the 30s that was never built. Trains to London would leave Newton Abbot | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
and veer inland, passing north of Teignmouth and Dawlish. Three | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
variations were considered. One rejoining today's line at Dawlish | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
Warren, rejoining near Starcross, or rejoining at Exminster. Our business | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
correspondent Neil Gallacher has been finding out more. | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
Travellers can soon enjoy the thrill of the Dawlish mainline once again. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
From the train, it's not necessarily obvious why Brunel chose this | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
extraordinary route. Well, landscape forced his hand. He saved a huge | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
amount of tunnelling by daring to go right along the sea wall. But by the | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
30s the Great Western Railway had already repaired the line enough to | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
know how problematic this route was. They began drawing new lines on the | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
map Now, unlike the North Dartmoor route or the Teign Valley, there's | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
no old track bed here, conveniently awaiting re`use. These schemes would | :14:02. | :14:10. | |
take a new railway track in land here somewhere to go behind | :14:11. | :14:25. | |
Dawlish, to rejoin up by the vestry. `` estuary. And of course near the | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
coast there've now been decades of development that must be grappled | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
with. If they chose the particular route that heads off towards | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
Exminster, this salvage yard could be in line for compulsory purchase. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
And the owner is currently trying to sell the adjoining house. We just | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
refurbished it and it will go on the market soon, so does concern me | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
there may be sent uncertainty over the rail line. It also concerns me | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
they may have to knock it down to put in the Junction, which would be | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
a shame. But then if the line went a few hundred yards farther to the | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
north this place might stay almost peaceful as it is right now. The | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
1930s scheme is a serious contener to be the inland route that everyone | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
from the Prime Minister down has said we may need. That wonderful | :15:10. | :15:21. | |
scheme was designed down to the finest culverts, and if any member | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
of Cobra or the Prime Minister can spend time, they need only look at | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
the Tower at the place in Westminster where the other | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
posited. Network Rail have clearly done just that behind the scenes. | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Their published long list of future options includes all three variants | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
of the scheme from the 30s. Many in South Devon support the so`called | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
Dawlish Avoiding Line, not least as they fear that a new line north of | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
Dartmoor might one day become the only line. But an inland route | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
around here needs more tunnels and wouldn't be cheap. A big ask, | :15:55. | :16:03. | |
because it'll take ten to 15 years to achieve, but potentially is what | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
gave significant time savings with other parts of improving the South | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
Devon Railway. It wound up in another part of Devon and possibly | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
call more as well `` won't open. But it would guarantee South Devon's | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
rail link, even if the sea wall one day collapsed forever. This could be | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
down the powder room, or could be near Dawlish, either way this would | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
be the railway to somewhere that doesn't have it, but for a lot of | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
people that is part of the attraction. | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
Tonight's film and the previous two, about the Okehampton route and the | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
old Teign Valley line, can now all be seen on our Facebook page. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
A treasure trove of work by Cornish artists has been discovered in one | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
of the oldest galleries in St Ives. The paintings and sculptures were | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
unearthed during refurbishment work at the Penwith Gallery. Spotlight's | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
John Danks has been for a special viewing. This was a space which was | :17:13. | :17:29. | |
a store room. We came here to clear it out. There were still paintings | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
all the way of to the Windows. It just looked like there were lots of | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
paintings. It needed collecting by people who have left things behind. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Nobody realise what could be there. In taking each individual work out, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
we found some incredible artworks from potentially back into the | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
1960s. Among the dozen or so works of art | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
was this painting by Penzance born Alethea Garstin. I don't know if she | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
was a member here, but I think she was in a society. Her father Norman | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
belonged to a society as well. Some artist can be precious and they can | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
have work exhibited. They can forget about it. We found other works from | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
artists who are still around and I been ringing around, saying we have | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
found your work. They were saying, oh, that is where it is. While the | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
art work has been taken away for safekeeping and to be valued, the | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
new findings have piqued the interest of local artists. Because | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
it wasn't just paintings that were discovered. This goes back 50 | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
years. Their between different paintings, old programme notes and | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
various posters. I find that fascinating. This photograph of | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
sculptor Barbara Hepworth, a founder member of the Penwith Society of | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Artists, was also discovered. The gallery is due to reopen in the | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
spring and that's when some of the store room treasures will finally be | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
revealed. A pair of identical twins from the | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
South West are preparing themselves to explore the arctic, one dressed | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
in modern protective clothing, the other in the sort of gear worn by | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
polar explorer Sir Ernest Shakleton 100 years ago. Hugo and Ross Turner, | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
from Christow in Devon, are hiking 340 miles across the polar ice caps | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
to raise money for spinal research. Our South Devon reporter John Ayres | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
has been to meet them. If I was brave enough to do this, I | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
know which gear I would choose. Being trends makes it easy to | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
compared new were bald. He will wear the old clothing? I don't know. I | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
would like to have a go. It would be an honour to be one of only a | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
handful of people to wear this. I put myself forward. It is either | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
this or that. Hugo putting on the modern gear, fractured his neck when | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
he was 17. He had surgery and was millimetres away the coming | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
disabled. They put a Cajun and put bone grafts in as well. I had | :20:23. | :20:31. | |
infusion as well `` cage in. I'm quite stiff in the neck. They are | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
raising money for spinal research. Their father Nick, and England under | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
23 's rugby player, had his career cut short by the same injury. Being | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
twins mean they are setting new records and this trip allows an | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
accurate comparison between then and now. We are comparing old and new | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
and seeing what the difference is. How hard was it one Explorer 100 | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
years ago? This has caught the attention of Kenneth Branagh. Good | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
luck you, good luck Ross. We will be following you and willing you on. It | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
is not the first time they are taken on an adventure like this. Two years | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
ago they were in the Atlantic. I could be moving and it was a massive | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
encouragement. I could have been watching at home in a wheelchair. It | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
was really tough but it was the best thing I have done. Training awaits | :21:39. | :21:51. | |
them in Norway. Efforts are being stepped up to | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
protect one of the region's most historic sites. Tarr Steps on | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
Exmoor, which are said to date back around 3000 years, were washed away | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
by a swollen river following torrential rain 15 months ago. Now, | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
trees along the river bank, which could be washed downstream and | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
damage the clapper bridge, are being removed. Hamish Marshall reports. | :22:12. | :22:27. | |
They have helped people across the hundreds of years. User project down | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
missiles and some weighed up to turn on more, and when they came | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
downstream where of force, you can see the size of some of these | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
stones. If you can imagine, the whole thing was wrecked. The wire on | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
this device is strong enough to pull ships, but it was broken in 2012, is | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
another plan is to stop some of the trees getting into the river in the | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
first place. The area has been marked and dozens of trees, which | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
could be a danger, are being felled. Others are being retained. We have | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
to be careful not to remove those features which are doing good. We | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
have to keep an eye on this thing and make sure it is not | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
deteriorating and becoming a risk in the future. On the other side there | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
are things? You can see this tree which has come down in the storms. | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
You can imagine a situation where water levels rise, that could move | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
and cause damage to the steps downstream. The power of that water | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
is crazy. This is a listed building, so the Exmouth tourism | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
industry is intrigued. They recognise what needs to be done and | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
at the same time the looking after the woodlands. It is not as simple | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
as saying we can cut down every tree. These trees have been here for | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
more than five years. They have survived a torrent of 2012. Not only | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
do they stay in place, but they ensure that the ecological balance | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
of the river is there. The area will remain open as the work goes on. | :24:16. | :24:27. | |
What a stunning part. Fine weather again. Will it continue? There is | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
dry weather now. There is a difference in temperature between | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
those of had the sunshine and those who've had and fog. This is a | :24:40. | :24:52. | |
picture sent by Graham. Lands End was just shy of 16 degrees. That | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
shows you the contrast. That is the warmest day of the year along the | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
south coast. The forecast for tomorrow will be a similar problem. | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
We have some areas in the mist and fog stick around all day, given a | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
cold day, others seeing the sunshine. Where that happens it will | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
feel warm. Not a great deal of change in the weather pattern. We | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
still have a high pressure pattern involved. We still have the risk of | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
fog as well. More fog than we saw last night. This warning covers the | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
whole of the south`west of England. Most of the action and weather | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
fronts are a long way from us. We still have a high pressure in | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
charge. It moves slowly back into the Atlantic as we head into the | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
weekend. That gives a change of wind direction. There is less of a | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
problem of mist and fog, and we won't see that temperatures we have | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
been used to in the sunshine. That was a satellite picture from earlier | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
today. There are still strands of fog through the English Channel, | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
still some creeping into Lands End and West Cornwall. All of us, after | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
some clear sky, will see that mist and fog become more extensive and | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
very thick in places too. Some awful driving conditions tomorrow morning. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
There is also the possibility of some frost, so some of the fog will | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
be freezing fog tomorrow. Some very and misty, and that cloud will be | :26:23. | :26:34. | |
stubborn to remove. Part of South Cornwall, the southern half of Devon | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
Macy Sunny spells, with top temperatures of 10 degrees `` may | :26:42. | :26:51. | |
see Sunny spells. It is a north`west winds setting in tomorrow. These are | :26:52. | :27:08. | |
the times of high water. There is a coastal waters. There is a change in | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
the wind direction. It will become west or north westerly, forced | :27:14. | :27:28. | |
three. Sunday will be cloudy and cooler. That is it from us. You can | :27:29. | :27:38. | |
watch our special report on the future of the rail line in the | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
south`west on our Facebook page and we will be back at 6:30am tomorrow. | :27:44. | :27:47. |
