Good evening, I'm Charlie McArdle welcome to BBC Channel Islands. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
These are Tuesday's headlines: Counting the cost of fog. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
While passengers face delays, Aurigny say it's costing them up | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Snares found on public parkland that could injure pets. | :00:14. | :00:29. | |
To the early 18th century and is quite frankly in this day and age a | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
barbaric thing. Plus, the Ice Maiden's hoping | :00:34. | :00:34. | |
to become the first all-female group For the poor visibility are along | :00:35. | :00:51. | |
the island. Will we see poor weather later in the week? I will have the | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
details later. Stranded passengers | :00:54. | :01:09. | |
providing the boost. And for some the delay is just | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
the beginning of a long journey. It was a similar story in Jersey | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
where the fog's been been doing a well roaring trade | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
over the last few days. Stranded passengers | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
providing the boost. And for some the delay is just | :01:27. | :01:27. | |
the beginning of a long journey. I'm going to London because I have | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
got a transatlantic flight booked to go and see my parents because my | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
father's not very well. It has all been delayed, so I have had to | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
rebook my transatlantic flight was that costs money and I'm still not | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
guaranteed to get off today. Are waiting. I had to book more holidays | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
work, as well. Is this your first visit to Guernsey? Yes. What you | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
think of the Apple's capability to deal with fog? Not very good at the | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
moment. Just rang to get a flight is really difficult. It is not their | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
fault, they are trying their best, but definitely I think the state | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
should be focusing on this issue. It was a similar story in Jersey | :02:20. | :02:20. | |
where the fog's been But it's not just the passengers | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
feeling the pain. Airlines can't insure | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
themselves against fog as it's For a company like Aurigny, | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
the fog's been costing them up Aurigny says it's looking | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
at thermal-imaging technology to try and improve its chances of landing | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
and taking off in foggy conditions. In simple terms, it is a headset | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
that the pilot wears. There is a pilot on the nose of the aircraft | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
which looks through the frog and -- fog and improves our success rate by | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
a factor of half. There are things happening. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
But another piece of equipment that could minimise fog disruption, | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
The Civil Aviation Authority has told me today that a system called | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Egnos which uses satellites to cut through the fog should be up | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
and running in Guernsey by the summer at the latest. | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Illegal, dangerous and a risk to dogs. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
The recent discovery of three snare traps in a popular walking area | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
in Jersey has sparked warnings to dog owners. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
But it's the sophistication of these latest devices that has caused real | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
safety concern as Emma Chambers reports. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
They are used to catch food and vermin. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
But today they are being described as archaic and inhumane | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
after the discovery of three snares in this area of St Ouen. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
You can see the long grass is a haven for dogs to run in. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
The parish centennier showed me where they were found. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
He says they are illegal in this parkland, but its the way | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
the traps were planted that's worried him the most. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
We found two, two of these which are more lethal | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
than the original ones we found six months ago. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
The difference between the snares is that one is stubby wooden | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
pushed into the sand, and it will come out very easily. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
This one is totally different - long, you can see how long it is - | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
and what will happen is a rabbit or dog or whatever animal | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
is will go along, he'll go in through there and that will pull | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
We are surprised and very disappointed. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
This is a great dog walking area, these things are dangerous to dogs | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
and we just didn't expect to ever see them again but they are here. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
The JSPCA is now calling for an outright ban of all snares, | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
not just the self-tightening devices and those on protected land. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
There's many other methods to catch wild animals that can be caught | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
for food such as rabbits and wood pigeons and then of course | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
there is vermin as well which does have to be controlled - | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
I recognise that but equally there are many other methods you can | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
use rather than something that comes from the early 18th century | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
and is quite honestly in the 21st century a barbaric method to do. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
The environment department say they are assessing the law. | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
We do follow international best practise, self-locking snares | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
are banned with the bird convection, sliding snares aren't and we do need | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
discussion in the department to see what we are going to do about it. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
But until that happens, officials are relying on islanders | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
Especially those that shouldn't be used on Jersey's protected reserves. | :05:32. | :05:45. | |
The Court of Arbitration for Sport will this summer rule | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
on whether Jersey's bid to join the football governing body Uefa | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
should be considered by existing member nations. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
The Jersey FA wants the island to be given international status - | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
it's currently run like a county, affiliated to the English FA. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Last year, Uefa officials rejected the application, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
arguing the island isn't recognised as an independent state. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
But Jersey believe their bid should at least be put | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Same-sex marriages could take place in Guernsey as early as May. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
The law will be reviewed early next month, before being ratified | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
If approved, it could come into effect on the 2nd of May, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
though couples would need a special licence which takes | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
Jersey Police are donating unclaimed jewellery to the charity | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
The collection of watches, chains, and rings have been in storage | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
at the police station for over three years. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Most of the time, the police can reunite owners with their lost | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
or stolen property but that hasn't been the case with this jewellery. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Jersey Hospice will sell it to raise money to provide care | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
A woman from Guernsey is part of a team of soldiers hoping | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
to become the first all-female group to cross Antarctica unaided. | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
They are currently doing their final training in a remote part of Norway | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
their 17,000-hundred kilometre journey at the Leverett Glacier. | :07:09. | :07:21. | |
The first leg will see them reach the South Pole, | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
where they will re-supply, before heading onwards | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
The expedition of the Ice Maidens as they've called themselves, | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
will test whether women soldiers can endure the same extreme | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
Heading out across a frozen Norweigan lake, the Ice Maiden Team | :07:31. | :07:40. | |
are at the start of their final training exercise. | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
In September, these soldiers will begin their historic journey | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
and hoping to be among them is Lance Corporal Rin | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
With her day job as a dietician, Rin was the obvious choice to look | :07:48. | :07:52. | |

group of women whose nutrition requirements are different from | :08:09. | :08:09. | |
them. -- from men. Very little is known | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
about exactly what it will take to sustain a group of women | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
through an expedition like this. So one of the goals is to collect | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
medical data that will show how the female body copes | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
with extreme environments. But there will also be more | :08:22. | :08:22. | |
personal considerations, especially when they're on the march | :08:23. | :08:24. | |

You will wrap your bag around and then you put it in your bulk. You | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
drag it around for the rest of your exposition. Though, it is hot | :08:53. | :08:53. | |

a generation of women to get It is not just about five women | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
crossing Antarctica. It is about encouraging women from across the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
military and women to go out and give things a go. You can achieve | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
anything. We will inspire women to get out and be physically active. It | :09:19. | :09:23. | |

There are seven Ice Maidens - two will be reserves as only five | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
Where they hope to put their names in the history books alongside | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
I wish them all the very best of luck. | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
Some Jersey rugby news now, and prop Simon Kerrod | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
will leave the Reds at the end of the season. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
The South African is joining the current Premiership | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
Kerrod has been with the club since the start of last year. | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
A day of fog. A window of opportunity opened up. It is | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
beginning to seem like Groundhog Day. Same question, night after | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
night. We still getting fog? Yes. Hold on in there for one more day. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
It is beginning to feel like Groundhog Day for me. A lot of fog | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
talk. Tomorrow will be cloudy, but the breeze will pick up. That will | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
lift the cloud and a few places, but I doubt we will see much sunshine. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Rowell westerly breeze, that will pick up the cloud bases. I think | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
towards the tail end of the day, we will see a bit of light rain. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Thursday, it is all change. Here is storm Doris. The main impact of this | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
storm will be across northern parts of the United Kingdom. For the | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
island, we will see heavy rain in the middle of the day. Gusts into | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
the little of the afternoon. 40 or 50 mph gusts. At the moment, poor | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
visibility. The breeze picks up overnight. That should shift some of | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
the low cloud and places. These are the temperatures you should expect | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
by day. Around eight or 9 degrees. A similar start the day tomorrow. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Grey, low cloud, Miss. Without breeze, it will tend to pick up in | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
places, so perhaps not as dense as today. Into the afternoon, we will | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
start to see that weather fronts making its presence known. For | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Guernsey, that rainbow push into the tail end of the day. Temperatures up | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
to ten or 11 degrees. That fact that rain will. Not a good deal of surf, | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
Maine in the west with the wind is picking up. The waves will pick up, | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
too. On the coastlines, poor visibility. Some drizzle, fog | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
patches, as those west, south-westerly patches pick up. Some | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
back have bought shifting places. Tomorrow, some of the last of the | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
mild days are a couple of days. Starting off gay, is -- grey but we | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
could see gale forced gusts. It does quieten down on Friday. Light winds | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
but we should see more in the way of sunshine. Thank you. We say hello to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Friday fog -- fog. Before we go, a reminder of our top story | :12:15. | :12:25. | |
in the Channel Islands tonight. That's the cost of fog to one | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Channel Island airline. Aurigny has confirmed today that | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
paying for hotels and food for stranded passengers | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
as well as a loss of revenue If you have missed anything you can | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
watch today's bulletins on the iplayer and your local radio | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
stations will have hourly We're back at eight with an update | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
and then again at 10:25. Stay with us for the animated | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
version of Archie the Fire dog. And later news of a | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
change in the weather. Well, Storm Doris has been named | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
but what impact will it have on the south-west when it | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
hit us on Thursday? I'll have all the details | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
later in the programme. A woman from Devon has | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
described a simple wooden Sally Morgan has multiple sclerosis | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
and hasn't been able to stand She is now able to be upright | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
for around an hour a day. The frame isn't universally | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
available on the NHS, but now academics at Plymouth University | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
are leading a trial to assess Our health correspondent | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Jenny Walrond has more. It's a simple but sturdy frame | :13:33. | :13:42. | |
and for Sally Morgan it She has multiple sclerosis | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
and hasn't been able to stand up for Sally has been taking | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
part in a study run by Plymouth University, looking | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
at whether the standing frame is effective in helping people | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
improve their strength. Oh, it's revolutionised my life, | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
really, I would say. Obviously, when you are sedentary, | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
when you are sat down most of the time, all | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
your muscles contract. Whereas now the muscles | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
behind my knees and my quads in my legs, all my those types of things | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
have suddenly become more stretched and my upper body strength has | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
improved and it is freeing up The frames have been made | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
by a family firm for some time. They cost around ?500 | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
but, in order to get them commissioned on the NHS, | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
academics must prove that they are effective in improving things | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
such as core strength We are hoping to find out, | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
firstly, to see whether this intervention is effective, | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
because without that kind of evidence then we are unable to often | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
provide this kind of equipment because we need evidence to | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
demonstrate to commissioners of care who purchase these kind of aides | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
and equipment to see whether it is relevant for people and whether it | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
does make a difference to their lives and whether it | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
is cost-effective. For Sally and her husband Matt | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
the change has been obvious. Her legs are less swollen, | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
she is now able to stand for about an hour, and finds it easier | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
to transition from her Well, it's been amazing for Sally - | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
it really has transformed her life. Dealing with MS on a day-to-day | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
basis was really tough for both of us, but it has | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
made her physically more positive, she feels she is able to do | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
more, much more. The trial is ongoing | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
and still needs more volunteers. If the results show that others | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
benefit as Sally has, this could become | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
available on the NHS. There are details about that study | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
on our BBC Spotlight facebook page. You don't have to be a member | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
of facebook to find them. Now a quick round up of some | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
of the other stories tonight An official site built to house | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
travellers at a Devon beauty Teignbridge Council wants | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
to build three more units at the Haldon Ridge | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
site near Exeter. A decision on the additional pitches | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
is expected in April. Plans to pedestrianise parts | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
of Taunton town centre have Taunton Deane Borough Council wants | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
to ban traffic from East Street, Hammet Street and St James Street | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
for an 18-month trial period. The plans are on display | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
at Taunton Library. People are being asked | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
for their views on scrapping free deckchairs for the over 60s | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
on Weymouth Esplanade. Weymouth and Portland Borough | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
Council says scrapping the free pass for those who live in the borough | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
would save ?5,000 a year. The deckchairs have been free | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
of charge for the past 30 years. The Somerset trained horse | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
Thistlecrack that was favourite to win this year's Cheltenham Gold Cup | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
will miss out due to injury. Its not all doom and gloom | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
at Colin Tizzrd's yard though as he does still have the second | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
and third favourites. It's a familiar part of student | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
life, but now communal living is becoming increasingly popular | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
among older people. It's known as co-housing | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
and involves residents living in smaller properties and sharing | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
a kitchen, dining area The idea may help to ease the | :17:10. | :17:21. | |
growing pressure on housing and could be rolled out across the | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
south-west. A number of sites have already been earmarked. Our reporter | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
has been to one scheme in Dorset to see how it works. | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
They live side-by-side but they are not students. | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
They get on well but some have only just met. | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
They eat together but this is not a house | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
There are 14 separate homes here at the | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
But when it comes to gardening and cooking | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
They have one central kitchen and dining | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
For them it is a greener way of living, a | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
And they are therefore each other if they need support. | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Actually, what this was very important for me was | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
that my son stopped worrying about me, | :18:10. | :18:10. | |
because he knew there were lots | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
of people around who would look out for me. | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
It's sending a message, really, to other people that these things | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
can be done and sustainability is not | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
just about the green aspects and the environment, it's about people | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
living together within a sustainable community. | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
Co-housing is a microcosm of humanity. | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
You have exactly the same issues that any group of people | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
have, it's just that it's an intentional community, | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
so we intend to make the effort to get on with | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
each other and do things together and enjoy life together. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
According to the most recent figures, there | :18:45. | :18:45. | |
are 7 million single person houses have sold in the UK. | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
And we although about the shortage in housing | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
Well, here in Bridport, 40 miles away from the Threshold Centre, one | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
local group are hoping another co-housing scheme can help to | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
The co-housing movement started in Denmark in the 1960s. | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
It is now growing in popularity with other schemes near | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
In Bridport, they are now confident work will begin here in the spring. | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
We are looking at the sort of lives we want to live in the future and | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
the constraints we may face on our lives in the future, and I think | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
that co-housing will answer many of them | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
because it is flexible and | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
people can have as little or as much company as they need. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
I suppose a real hermit would need somewhere | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
else, you know, they wouldn't like it. | :19:32. | :19:32. | |
But for most people there are benefits. | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
Particularly single parents, there is a distinctive benefit. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
The town is very supportive of us, the sort of people that live | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
here, a lot of people are interested in what we are doing and interested | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
The first residents will be moving in to the Bridport co-housing scheme | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
For now, at the Threshold Centre, there are chores to be done. | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
Now they're man's best friend and we must admit | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
We were more than a little pleased to see these | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
dogs with jobs arrive at our studios this morning. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Devon and Cornwall Police's Cosmic and Tara, accompanied | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
by their handlers and volunteer puppy walker were here | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
for an interview with Radio Devon's David Fitzgerald. | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
But they're not the only dogs with an important | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
You may remember Archie from the Cornwall Fire | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
and Rescue Service, who appeared on Spotlight last year. | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
Well, now he has a starring role in his very own animation. | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
Reporting for duty and ready for the next shout, Archie the fire | :20:36. | :20:48. | |
dog and his canine colleague Woody have become rather animated. | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
And my name is Woody and I'm learning to become a | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
He is not quite three years old and he's part | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
Archie's role is to assist us in determining potentially the | :21:06. | :21:22. | |
causes of fires and looking for ignitable liquids or hydrocarbons | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
stranger to the spotlight. or develop that fire Archie is no | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
He has already been on our red sofa and is | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
He's also got an important job to do. | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Get ready, Archie - the alarm is ringing! | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
Archie and Woody's fire investigation adventure shows | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
everything from the paw protectors going on to Archie arriving at the | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
We wait for the firefighters to put out the fire. | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
Now we sniff the whole room, searching for any of the scents we | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
So what we are going to do is test Archie and see if he can | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
Now, Mark, what have you put on this? | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
It's methylated spirits that is on that | :22:03. | :22:03. | |
stick, which is one of the hydrocarbons that | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
Now I'm going to hide it under this door frame. | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
How long do you think it will take him to find it? | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Well, with a bit of direction from myself, he is purely | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
looking on scent, 20 to 30 seconds, maximum. | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
Archie's skill or mose in helping to find the | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
possible causes of fires has given the animators plenty to work with. | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
Since the release of the film in the early part of last week, | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
we've had several thousand people viewing it already, and we've had | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
some really positive feedback from all over | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
the country and all over the world, actually. | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
And they think it's a great adventure. | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
But there are some serious safety messages in the film. | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
Always remember, if a fire does start - get out, | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
And what about after a hard day's work? | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
And we'd like to hear from you if you have a dog with a job. | :22:56. | :23:15. | |
Whether it's a hearing dog, service dog, guide dog or herding dog, | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
if you rely on your dog day-to-day, why not tell us your story. | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
There are the usual ways to get in touch. | :23:24. | :23:36. | |
Let's see what the weather is doing across the south-west. | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
As long as they're an know whether dogs! We have had a lot of fog | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
across the south-west. We've had low cloud, mist, generally fairly murky | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
conditions, but I think tomorrow we should see the breeze pick-up and | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
that could lift the cloud in places. A largely great, damp day. You can | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
see we have a fair amount of cloud across much of the UK. We haven't | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
had much in a way of sunshine. It is all tied in with this weather front. | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
We are on the southern side of it so we have fairly warm, moist air but | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
it leaves us with fog. Tomorrow the breeze or pick-up, it could shift | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
the cloud in places but we will see the cloud in places but we will see | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
a largely overcast today. On a largely overcast today. On | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Thursday we have Storm Doris, the greatest impact is further north but | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
we will see gusts of 40 to 50 mph. Acquired today on Friday, light | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
winds and a little more in the way of sunshine. There's been a lot of | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
cloud today. You can see we've had light rain and drizzle two. Earlier | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
today one of our went to the North coast of Cornwall. The breeze is | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
dropping receives an little but you can see the extent of the cloud, | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
it's solid, it's low. Poor visibility, low cloud. Many of us | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
have not seen the sun today. That will continue through tonight. Out | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
there tonight there is a lot of cloud, tonight there will be light | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
rain and drizzle. The breeze picks up but they're still could BC and | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
hill fog. Temperatures by night what you would expect by day, falling to | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
around eight or 9 degrees. That means tomorrow has a similar start. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
Low cloud, rain. Rain is light and patchy but could turn heavier over | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
them higher ground. The breeze could pick up lifting the cloud but I | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
think you will be fairly lucky if you see the sun. Temperatures still | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
doing very well for the time of year, most places making it into | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
double figures. One or two spots could hit 11 or 12 degrees. For the | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
Isles of Scilly there will be a lot of cloud, mainly dry, but extensive | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
mist and fog, and the wind is picking up in the afternoon and | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
overnight. Here are the times of high water. Roughly three in the | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
morning and afternoon. In terms of service, we have slightly bigger | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
waves towards the north coast, down towards the south we have three to | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
five foot and messy. A breezy day tomorrow, rains from West to | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
south-west. There will be rain and drizzle on and off through the | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
course of the day, visibility moderate or good occasionally poor. | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
Tomorrow is a mild day, very little difference between today and | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
tomorrow. If anything we will see a little more breeze. Thursday we will | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
see a spell of rain early on clearing by lunchtime and while many | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
of us will see sunshine, from lunchtime onwards we will get the | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
in the warning area but we could see in the warning area but we could see | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
some strong winds. In Devon and Cornwall we could see gusts of 40 to | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
50 mph. A slightly cooler at night Thursday into Friday. And we should | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
then see more in a way of sunshine on Friday but it will be cooler. It | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
turns milder through the weekend. Wind is picking up on Saturday, a | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
lot of cloud with some fairly heavy downpours. | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
A reminder of the top story. Major incident has been declared after a | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
fire broke out in the leisure centre in central Exeter. One person | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
received minor burns. We will have the latest on tonight's late news. | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
That is all for tonight from us. Good night. | :27:40. | :27:55. | |
