Welcome to BBC Channel Islands, I'm Charlie McArdle. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Lessons to be learnt following the death of a man | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
who's body was undiscovered for some time. | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
There are people in jersey who reallip don't mix in society that | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
people know very little about them. But for such a small island, that | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
shouldn't be the case. Formal complaints made against | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
three senior Guernsey politicians. And plans to tackle | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Jersey's stinky seaweed which could bring back | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
our golden sands. The case of a Jersey man who's body | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
wasn't found for some time after dying alone highlights the need | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
to raise awareness of self-neglect. That's the finding of a serious case | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
review into the death of Mr Fisher, an elderly man described | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
as a local character. He died on his own | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
at his home in Jersey after refusing the help | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
of local authorities. We've been asked not to reveal | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
the identity of Mr Fisher - But he was thought to be well | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
known in the community, with an individual style | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
and distinctive dress. He may have a mild learning | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
disability, and was living in conditions the watchdog says | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
caused considerable concern. There are people in Jersey | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
who really don't mix in society, But, for such a small island, | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
that shouldn't be the case. recognising before things | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
get really difficult, before this gets any worse, | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
let's do what we can do to help now. Those new approaches could include a | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
new welfare system in every parish. It's thought one of the few people | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Mr Fisher would have accepted help Often being a friend is the way in, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
and you heard Glenys talking about people not wanting to accept | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
care or intervention Very often, the informal way | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
is the only way you can get And Daphne, the President | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
of Jersey's Age Concern, agrees. She wants to introduce | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
a Good Neighbour scheme to encourage islanders to | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
look out for their community. But she also thinks | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
the States should do more. The States spend an awful | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
lot of money on things They like them, but they're | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
not absolutely necessary. It's money we should be spending | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
on care in the community for people And one of the criticisms of Mr | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Fisher's care is what happened when he was discharged from hospital - he | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
was allowed to leave in his pajamas. The review of hospital discharges | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
is just one of nine recommendations the watchdog's suggested | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
in light of Mr Fisher's death. So, while avoiding this | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
situation in the future is impossible to guarantee, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
it's hoped it'll become less likely. Three senior politicians in Guernsey | :03:03. | :03:20. | |
are facing formal complaints from two of the island's | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
leading charity organisations. It's over alleged comments about a | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
former Education Committee member's ability to fulfil the role while | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
caring for a disabled family member. Although on the surface the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
Committee for Education, Sport and Culture seemed to survive last | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
month's vote of no confidence relatively unscathed, one obvious | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
casualty was committee member Marc Leadbeater who, after initially | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
resigning, later put his name forward for re-election | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
and then withdrew it again. But during all this, it was alleged | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
comments about whether he could fulfil his responsibilities while | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
caring for a disabled family member, that caused concern for | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
both the Community Foundation It is damaging if these rumours | :03:51. | :04:07. | |
persist. We are calling for the facts to be established. And the | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
panel will then have to decide if there is some substance to those | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
rooms ours. They'll decide what sanctions they'll do. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
Deputy Lyndon Trott, Home Affairs President Mary Lowe | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
and Education President Paul Le Pelley are the ones now facing | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
code of conduct complaints over alleged discrimination. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
But here in the States Chamber this morning, a statement by Deputy Trott | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
vigorously rejecting the allegations was met with applause. | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
If people have genuine, sincere evidence-based complaints about | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
tollingses, they are entitled to make them. When there is no evidence | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
and they are baseless, they should keep their mouths shut. | :04:46. | :04:46. | |
Deputy Le Pelley also denies any wrongdoing. | :04:47. | :04:47. | |
Deputy Lowe is yet to respond publicly. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
But, with so much uncertainty already surrounding the future | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
this is one more controversy it could do without. | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
to begin debating whether the proposed strategy to export its | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
waste and increase recycling rates should proceed. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
The preferred option is to send waste that can't be recycled | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
I spoke to our reporter Mike Wilkins a little earlier | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
and began by asking him how we got to this stage. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Well, the question of how to get rid of Guernsey's rubbish | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
There are no more holes in the ground left, | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
and there's virtually no time to explore other options. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
This is the rather stark choice facing States' members this week, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
as the total bill for dealing with an off-island solution | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
is estimated to be almost ?300 million for the next 20 years. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Guernsey's decided to solve the problem | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
by shipping waste it can't recycle to Sweden. | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
And the average household could see refuse bills go up from ?2.15 | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
The man responsible for Guernsey's waste policy | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
says the proposed strategy has to go ahead. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
It needs to go through. We decided to do this in 2012. Actually yes is | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
no plan B. Before, we've always been able to fall back on the space | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
available in landfill. We simply don't have that anymore. Any time | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
waisted now is simply more taxpayers' money. We captain' afford | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
to do it The proposals include ambitious | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
targets to have 70% of waste Deputy Peter Roffey is concerned | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
the costs are rising out of control. Certainly looking at the cost of | :06:29. | :06:42. | |
kerbside recycling leapt from ?1 million per year to ?2 million per | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
year. Most people want kerbside. It is better than going to a bring | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
bank. At what point does the cost reach, hang on, this is the best | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
thing to do but it is no longer affordable. We should look at | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
whether to go back to bring banks or there's a cheaper way of doing | :07:01. | :07:01. | |
kerbside. Whatever happens in the States | :07:02. | :07:02. | |
this week, the cost of dealing with | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
Guernsey's rubbish will be going up. These days, the internet | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
is everywhere. But alongside the opportunities | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
it brings there are risks. Increasingly, criminals use | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
the internet to cause harm. Today, Jersey's government has set | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
out a new cyber security strategy. It plans to spend ?2 million | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
over three years protecting against attacks on | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
government, people and businesses. Modern thieves are more likely to | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
steal your data than anything else. Here in Jersey, States of Jersey | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
systems register 500 elevated cyber attacks per day, while the Financial | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Services Commission is targeted, In fact, cyber threats are now seen | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
as one of the biggest risks But big organisations | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
aren't the only ones at risk. If you think about all the | :07:51. | :08:05. | |
individual emails, all of the websites you browse throughout the | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
day, all of the malicious sites and links you see through social media, | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
an end user could be exposed to several hundred attacks a day and | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
not even be aware of it. It's that awareness that's key. | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
Teaching people and businesses about cyber security is seen | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
as vital for Jersey's continued success as a finance centre, | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
We're about giving people basic understanding in their area - | :08:26. | :08:39. | |
That's individuals, businesses and across Government as well. At a | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
basic level, they need to understand why cybersecurity is important to | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
them and how they might hold their information or how they might | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
interact with a business or their bang or Government | :08:55. | :08:55. | |
Islanders have until the end of March to share their views | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
the government can keep them safe in increasingly digital world. | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
It's claimed dredging green sea lettuce from Jersey beaches and | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
dumping it out to sea will only be a short term fix for the south coast's | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
The department responsible intends to scoop up the weed as it builds up | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
and then use a barge to carry it out to sea where it will be left. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Environmentalists argue it'd be better to stop the seaweed building | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
The authorities have been looking for new ways to tackle the problem. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
as well One of our hopes would be, if we could remove it out of the | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
water early in the season when it's lighter than we've traditionally | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
done, it will dissuade it from growing to the volumes we've seen. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
It is very much a trial and error situation. | :09:49. | :09:49. | |
It's been a sunny afternoon in the islands | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
and despite being mid-February, I don't know about you, | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
but I got the feeling that spring could be on its way. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
My mum suggested we take a trip along Jersey's Waterworks Valley | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
which are in full bloom carpeting one of the cotils. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
They make a stunning display worth seeing if you get the chance. | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
But are the sunny spells set to continue? | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
We've had some lovely weather for many of us today. Some beautiful | :10:13. | :10:26. | |
photos coming from our weather watchers. Into tomorrow, with starry | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
skies overnight tonight a chilly start to things. The risk of a touch | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
of ground frost here and there. Also, mist and fog patches forming. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
They could be stubborn. They could be a problem on and off through the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
day tomorrow. Where the mist and fog clears and breaks, some sunshine | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
coming through for some of us tomorrow. We've high pressure | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
building in. That's the good news. With light winds, it leads to | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
problems with mist and fog. Over the coming days, although it does stay | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
in charge, we've weather systems trying to make inroads. It | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
complicates the details slightly. It could lead to a little rain here and | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
there. Generally, a lot of dry weather over the coming days. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Tonight, starry skies initially. Light winds. We could see this mist | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
and fog forming. It could reduce visibilities. These are typical low | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
temperatures. We could see a touch of ground frost here and there. A | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
bit of a chilly start tomorrow morning. A risk of mist and Fok. It | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
could be a problem on and off through the day. Where it thins and | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
breaks, you see the sunshine coming through, it will feel mild. | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Temperatures in double figures. Light winds as well. Where there's | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
mist and fog, a more disappointing day. These are times of high waters: | :11:42. | :11:51. | |
These are the waves for our surfers. Two of four feet. Clean with | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
generally light winds. It could become choppy in the south-westerly | :11:56. | :11:56. | |
breeze. This is how it's shaping up over the | :11:57. | :12:12. | |
next few days. Fairly light winds. Mostly dry. Variable amounts of | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
cloud. Sunshine coming through at times. Where it does, it will feel | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
like spring. You're up to date with the news | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
from the Channel Islands. I'll be back at 8pm with an update | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
and then again at 10.25pm. Live here in the studio, | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
we'll be speaking to former Royal Marine Mark Ormrod | :12:32. | :12:42. | |
as the roller coaster of life events of the last ten years is made | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
into a documentary. And, learning to swim - | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
we'll see how these rare otter cubs Now for a collection of memories | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
from former naval officer cadets Interviews have been | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
recorded with officers from across the decades giving | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
personal accounts of what it was like training for life in the Navy | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
at different periods in time. As Spotlight's John Ayres reports, | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
the look back at life in the Naval College will go | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
on show this summer. Life in the Navy now is very | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
different to 80 years ago, and proof of this will be available | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
for future posterity. Former officer cadets have | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
opened up about their experiences in a series | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
of interviews. Adrian Holloway, trained in the 30s, | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
recalls his selection interview. There are four brothers | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
in a family, each has a sister. The old buffer thought | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
I would say eight. Then there was the thought | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
of going to Dartmouth, Perhaps they thought | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
it would put you off! It is the little things that | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
many of them remember. It was considered socially | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
important for officers to be able to ballroom dance, | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
but 1973, there weren't any Halfway through the dancers, we had | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
to change our grip and become the And you would dance with your | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
friend, and the whole thing was sort What I found really | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
interesting was the change, attitudes and in society | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
that these recordings prove. So somebody who was here | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
in the 1930s, you ask them a question like, | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
what did it feel like? Whereas you ask someone | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
in the 1970s and '80s, and they can actually | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
analyse their feelings. 62 interviews have been collected, | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
which will go on show Former Royal Marine Mark Ormrod | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
is marking ten years since he was traumatically | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
injured in Afghanistan. He's making a fly-on-the-wall | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
documentary detailing It follows the highs and the lows, | :15:14. | :15:14. | |
and how life CAN go In a moment, we'll be talking | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
to Mark and film-maker Matt Elliot, but first Spotlight's Janine Jansen | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
looks back at how Mark's life Mark Ormrod was the first | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
British triple amputee Doctors said he would spend the rest | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
of his life in a wheelchair. Five months later he proved them | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
all wrong as he walked I was always going to walk | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
to receive the medal, that was one of the main targets | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
I set myself for my rehab, it's what I used as a motivation | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
to push myself to get good If I'm being honest | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
it was quite emotional. He said he had to beg, borrow | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
and steal to get the care he needed. His fundraising | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
efforts were immense. In the Gumpathon Challenge | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
he ran across America. He hand-cycled around the UK, | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
never mind the pain. The arm is coming loose | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
inside the socket so I'm basically just powering on one arm, | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
and it's not easy. His life has been defined by setting | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
and achieving goals. Incredible stuff. Thank you so much | :16:32. | :16:49. | |
for coming in tonight. This sounds like, just looking at that film, you | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
have done so much, this sounds like roller-coaster of a documentary. We | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
will start at the end of the month where we have all of our kit | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
together and we set to go. What has the last ten years been like? I | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
mentioned how Christmas Eve 2007 Everything changed when the | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
explosion happened but what has it been like in the last decade. This | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
is something a lot of people struggle to understand when I say | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
this, but it has been brilliant. Initially it was very difficult and | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
I'm not ashamed to admit that but once I crossed that line from it | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
being hard to it being normal life has gone insane and it has been | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
brilliant. You know each other very well indeed. I am guessing this will | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
be quite an emotional thing to work on fee you. It will be the difficult | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
part for me because I know Mark so well and I know how it is taken for | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
granted now, so we have to look back at the incident, what has led to | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
where he is now, and focus on the highs and the lows as well. You are | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
involving other people as well, asking them to come forward, people | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
you have met and worked with, to give there accounts. There are lots | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
of key people involved, from Christmas Eve 2070 where I am now, | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
and I would like to get their say on things. -- 2007. I think it would be | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
very interesting for people watching. What do you hope it will | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
achieve? Once we see how you have adapted to your different lifestyle | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
and what life is like now, what do you hope the film will achieve? The | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
biggest thing we are both aiming for really is to use it to help other | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
people, that is our motivation. Or amber just over nine years ago now | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
lying in the hospital bed. -- I remember. The information was not so | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
accessible and I had so many questions and I had no motivation, I | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
didn't want to know anything or speak to anybody. I am hoping that | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
other people who watch the film can get a bit of motivation from it. | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
What was the key moment that turned for you from being this desperate | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
situation to wanting to grab life and move forward with life? I found | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
somebody over in America who was a triple amputee who was living the | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
kind of life that in my head I imagined I could be living, so I | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
knew it was possible, despite some of the things I was being told, I | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
knew it was possible to be independent and free, and that | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
changed it for me. And you hope this will be released in December, all | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
going well. Yes, a lot of work. You had better get started! | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
We wish you all the best of luck with it. | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
Plymouth Argyle has reported Leyton Orient captain Liam Kelly | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
to the FA for allegedly pushing over one of the ball boys during last | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
Five of the visitors were booked in an ill-tempered | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
contest which Argyle lost in stoppage time. | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
Exeter City also paid the price for conceding late goals, | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
After a defeat, forget pretty football. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
And when the chance came it fell to the right man. | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
David Wheeler was back on the scoresheet, making it nine | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
It looked like his goal would be enough until a second bookable | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
offence with minutes left saw Jake Taylor sent off. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
The response from the hosts was immediate. | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
The City defence and the crossbar were rattled. | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
In a frenetic end to the game, despite being a man down, | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
the Grecians struck on the break and Ryan Harley had a simple tap-in. | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
County managed to get the ball in the net in stoppage time | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
Two deflections and two valuable points dropped for City. | :20:55. | :21:08. | |
After their derby win, Argyle carried on where they left off, | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
January signing Antoni Sarcevic made it two goals from three starts. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
He was eventually forced off with an injury, leading to the first | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
Orient were not here to win friends but Gavin Massey may have won | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
some admirers with this fine individual goal. | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Into the second half and in between bookings | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
Matty Kennedy produced a carbon copy of Massey's goal to put | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
And so it stayed, until two minutes from time and that man again. | :21:35. | :21:44. | |
Massey doubled his tally to level things. | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
Sadly it was Orient who got it, deep into stoppage time. | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
Hopefully this result won't come back to haunt Argyle | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
Four baby otters living at Newquay Zoo are learning to swim. | :21:57. | :22:19. | |
Just a few days ago we showed their very first | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
foray into the water, and now we can see | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
Clare Woodling has been to watch a swimming lesson. | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
Aww. And not an armband insight. | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
You've got mum and dad and there are several uncles | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
in there and we have one female who has lived with us for | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
years, who is lovely, and we are very fond | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
of her, so she teaches all | :22:42. | :22:42. | |
of the babies, so they are always keeping an eye on them, the babies | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
are in the water, trying to find food, and there is always one adult | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
next to them keeping an eye on them, so it is a big family group and a | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
They are just coming out now and starting to get wet and realise | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
The otters are well on their way to a five-metre badge. | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
Certainly no-one is afraid of taking the plunge. | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
So what is the Otto's favourite stroke, butterfly or | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
They have almost like a doggy paddle but more of an otter | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
style, and also with that tail, which is like a rudder and a driving | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
force at the same time, so they have their own style. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
They naturally know when they get in the water, they need a bit of | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
teaching but they can swim far better than we do. The lesson has | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
been a triumph, all of the otters are accounted for. And now it is | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
tea-time. The river exploits have gone swimmingly. It is a big step | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
forward for these otters, let's see how they feel about it. How do you | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
find this achievement? I am going to have to stop you | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
there. It is a bit scary for them, that | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
massive thing coming towards them. I have never seen otters interviewed | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
on the news before, a first. I want to see more of the otters and | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
less of the weather. For many of us it has been a glorious day. We had | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
some early rain but that has cleared for many of us about late morning | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
and we have seen some sunshine emerging. Our cameraman Jeff went to | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Topsham today to find signs of spring but here was one of the more | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
unlucky spots. We had lines of cloud developing from Dartmoor towards the | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
XS jury. Because the sunshine has got a bit more heat now we are | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
starting to see these showers more inclined to develop inland and less | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
likely out at sea. Once the early rain cleared many of us had skies | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
like this, beautiful blue skies, you can see St Michael's Mount in the | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
distance. Into tomorrow, with the clear skies overnight it will be | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
chilly, the risk of ground frost perhaps, and mist and fog forming. | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
That could be a bit stubborn tomorrow. It will be dry and write | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
tomorrow. We have high pressure trying to dominate through the | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
coming days. -- it will be dry and right. We have weather fronts trying | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
to encroach, which leads to some tricky cloud forecasting conditions | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
in the next few days. In generally I think there will be a lot of dry | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
weather to be had. This is the weather front that pushed through | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
earlier on today. Behind it most of us have sunshine will stop we had | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
that island of showers but for most of us a very nice afternoon. In | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
general this evening it will be a clear evening. Quite chilly, three | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
or 4 degrees in places and a touch of frost a possibility for promo | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
spots. The mist and fog tomorrow could be quite stubborn. -- for | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
prone spots. We are only two weeks away from the start of spring | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
according to the meteorologists. These are the top temperatures, | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
mild, some spots will have 1314 degrees perhaps. A nice day for the | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
Isles of Scilly, bright skies overhead and a gentle breeze. -- 13 | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
or 14 degrees. These are the times of high water. The biggest waves | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
tomorrow along the north coast, for to six feet bats. -- four to six | :26:42. | :26:54. | |
feet perhaps. The wind is mostly south-westerly, conditions mainly | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
fair and visibility good. This is the next few days, with these | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
weather fronts pushing and we could see a bit more cloud at times and a | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
little bit of rain here and there. More likely for the coast and hills | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
I suspect but quite mild picture over the coming few days, problems | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
with mist and fog perhaps, and when you get some sunshine it should feel | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
pleasant. If you fancy seeing your photos popping up on the TV you can | :27:22. | :27:31. | |
become a Weather Watcher. We get some fantastic photos sent | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
in. Thanks, Holly. There will be another round-up from the spotlight | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
team at 10:30pm. We will when farmers leave | :27:39. | :27:56. | |
their daily routines behind... Right, here we come, Dorset! | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
..for a show day. | :28:00. | :28:02. |
