More than a million pounds handed back to drivers who'd been caught | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
speeding by this camera. Good evening. The camera wasn't | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
operating correctly, which means more than 24,000 motorists have | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
been refunded. Also tonight: the compulsory | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
purchase of empty homes -the plans to transform derelict properties to | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
help the homeless. And the sacking of Plymouth Argyle | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
manager Peter Reid - we'll hear from the club's chairman. Football | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
:00:44. | :00:54. | ||
management is about results, and the results weren't good enough. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Homeowners in Cornwall who leave their empty properties in a state | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
of neglect and disrepair face tough action in future. Cornwall Council | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
is threatening to take enforcement action on anyone consistently | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
failing to bring their homes back into use. There are around 4,000 | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
empty houses in the county, despite recent attempts to encourage owners | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
to repair and use them. With more than 18,000 families on the housing | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
waiting list, the council says action is needed urgently. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
Neglected, run-down and in need of repair. This house in St Austell is | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
one of more than 4000 empty homes in Cornwall, many affecting the | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
lives of those living nearby. time it was put right. It has been | :01:30. | :01:40. | |
:01:40. | :01:40. | ||
empty long enough. It is letting down the road. It lets down the | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
area. Sonja lives two doors down. She is concerned about vandalism | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
and squatters moving in, and says it is a sheer waste to have good | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
properties lying empty. It is disgusting, because there are so | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
many homeless people. So many people are needing accommodation, | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
even if it is only on a short-term scale. Young people have no chance | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
of getting on the property ladder now. In this case, the reason it is | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
empty is due to a legal dispute, but the council wants as many homes | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
as possible to be brought back into use. A year ago, it launched its | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
empty homes strategy, offering incentives to homeowners such as | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
interest free loans for repairs. More than 130 homes are being lived | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
in again. But now the council has extra money and is threatening to | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
take a far tougher stance. It is prepared to take enforcement action | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
against anyone consistently failing to use and prepare their empty | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
homes. There are people that will not work with the council or the | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
community. These are the people we have to target. How will you be | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
doing that? We will be compulsorily purchasing those properties. We | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
will have an independent valuation of them and we will buy them and do | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
them up and then sell them so that they are no longer a blight in the | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
community and reinvest that money in carrying out either for the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
compulsory purchases or bringing more empty homes and used by | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
working with the homeowners. This house used to be empty, but earlier | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
this year was repaired and is now back in use. It means Emma and her | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
boyfriend can finally rent a home of their own and settle down. But | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
the number of people on the waiting list remains high, at more than | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
18,000. The council now wants to hear from anyone who's a street or | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
village has been blighted by empty properties such as this one. It | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
promises tough action to restore them back to use, so creating new | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
homes for those in need. The provision of housing has been | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
much debated by politicians. Our political editor is at the Liberal | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Democrat conference in Birmingham. The affordable housing crisis is | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
one of the biggest problems facing the South West. It has been | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
discussed at the Liberal Democrat conference. I am joined now by the | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Liberal Democrat MP for St Austell and Newquay, also chairman of the | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
all-party group on housing and somebody who knows about the | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
affordable housing crisis from the sharp end, because you were | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
probably the only MP elected last year who is still living with his | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
parents. Yes, last year I was still at home with mum and dad, like many | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
of the thousands of people wanting to get onto the property ladder. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
you welcome this initiative to use more empty buildings. It is an | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
absolute scandal across the country that there are three-quarters of a | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
million homes standing empty and unused. It is right that Cornwall | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Council and other local authorities and the Government take action to | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
bring them back into use. government is issuing new planning | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
guidance to help build more homes. Some people are saying that | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
somewhere like the south-west, that could be a develop a's charter to | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
build over green fields. And there are other people telling me it is | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
over -- it is a NIMBY charter, so the balance is about right. There | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
are millions who do not have access to the accommodation they need. The | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
system at the moment can be too slow and not democratic enough. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Local people should be able to decide what kind of development | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
they want to see. Not the top-down approach that Labour left us with, | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
but a grassroots approach that tackles local needs. This issue | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
:05:38. | :05:51. | ||
will run and run over the weeks and months to come. A Royal Marine from | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Plymouth-based 42 Commando has been killed in Afghanistan. The Marine | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
died when his patrol came under small arms fire during an operation | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
supporting members of the Afghan National Army in Helmand Province. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
His family have been informed. A woman and her baby have been taken | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
to hospital after being rescued from the River Tavy in Tavistock. A | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
passer-by managed to rescue the baby boy and fire officers brought | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
the woman out of the water. Both were taken to Derriford Hospital. | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
Police are not treating the incident as suspicious. She was in | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
the water, but a member of the public got down the bank and | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
actually went out and rescued the baby, and pulled the mother in from | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
the river before we arrived. When we arrived, the baby was in the | :06:23. | :06:33. | |
:06:33. | :06:43. | ||
ambulance and was crying, which is always a good sign. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
A new three-digit telephone number is now available for people who | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
want to report non-urgent incidents to the police. It's 101 and will | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
run alongside 999 which is still the number to call for emergencies. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
It's part of a project to get every force in England and Wales using | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
the number by next year. If it's an emergency, if a crime is taking | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
place there and then and the offenders are still there, or if | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
you are injured and you need help now, dial 999. 101 is to be used | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
for all other circumstances. To report a crime, to ask for advice, | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
to make an inquiry from the police - 101 would be the number to call. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
A family from Plymouth whose son has been left profoundly deaf as a | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
result of a virulent strain of meningitis say more needs to be | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
done to combat the disease. They're backing a campaign that's calling | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
on the Government to push for a vaccine. At the start of Meningitis | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Awareness Week, our reporter Amy Cole has been finding out how life | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
has changed for Tom and his parents. Not long ago, Tom could recognise | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
most of these pictures. Now he can't. It is a cat! In February, he | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and lost his hearing. He | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
was fitted with cochlear implants in both ears and is now getting | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
used to the balance of sound. With his learning, it is back to square | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
one. He was doing numbers, and he had all the animals down and he was | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
just starting to do two or three- word sentences. It was a huge part | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
of his personality, being able to talk to you and ask you for things. | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
And now that has just all gone. the family, it is a huge emotional | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
price to pay. For the NHS, it has cost �60,000 to treat Tom, a figure | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
that will rise as he gets older. The family is now supporting a | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
campaign run by the meningitis Research Foundation that is calling | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
on the Government to bring in a vaccine. There are vaccines in | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
development at the moment. They look promising. We hope for | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
positive news in the new year. We would like the government, once a | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
safe and effective vaccine is licensed, to take it into the | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
immunisation schedule for the whole population as soon as possible. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
foundation believes the vaccine could save the government �3 | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
million a year. The knock-on effect of Tom's illness is that his mum | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
cannot go back to work. You have to get on with life and deal with his | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
situation here and now and accept what is going to happen in the | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
future. The Department of Health says it is considering a wide range | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
of evidence on a vaccine for meningococcal B, the strain Tom had. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
His parents are grateful that their son survived what can be a fatal | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
disease. It's been revealed that more than a | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
million pounds has been paid back to motorists who were wrongly fined | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
for speeding in Dorset. 24,000 drivers have been refunded and had | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
points removed from their licences after the camera at Chideock was | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
:10:00. | :10:01. | ||
found to be operating without the correct paperwork. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
Buried in the Dorset countryside, the A35. It runs through the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
village of Chideock, and for a few hundred yards of trunk road, it has | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
captured a lot of attention. In this green and pleasant land, the | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
speed cameras have been vandalised, protesters have taken to the | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
pelican crossing and people who have gone too fast have not quite | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
been caught. This is not a story about how much money the speed | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
camera has raised sending out bills, but how much it has had to pay back | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
to drivers because fines have been considered unfair by the courts. It | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
has now emerged that �1.5 million has been refunded. More than 25,000 | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
drivers have had points clear from their licence. These drivers did | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
not get their money back because they were sticking to the speed | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
limit. It was because of a technicality. The fine said the | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
camera was close to Seatown road. But officially, it is dark street. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
After ten years of speeding tickets, a judge decided the 30 mile an hour | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
limit could not be enforced and the reforms followed from there. It | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
began with a man from Cornwall. inefficiency is not just the camera | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
partnership. The highways, the police, the CPS, even the | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
solicitors are involved. The Parish Council today said speed was still | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
a problem in Chideock, and the cameras are essential. People we | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
spoke to saw both sides of the argument. At the end of the day, it | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
is up to them if they got their money back. Their play on that side | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
of things. But on the other hand, you are still speeding into a | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
little village. I do not think they should have allowed it. You don't | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
think you should have gone ahead? Why? If somebody is actually | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
speeding, what does a technicality matter? To it may have taken ten | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
years, but the camera's paperwork is now correct. A warning to all | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
drivers on this increasingly well known road. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
We'll be taking a look back at the weekend's sport with Natalie in a | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
moment, including: Peter Risdale tells us about the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
latest movements at Plymouth Argyle. And thrill-seeking to tipping point. | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
We reflect on the sporting spectacle which attracted thousands. | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Well, it's time for the sport now, and today it was all eyes on Home | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Park again following a major reshuffle with the men at the top. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Natalie's here with the details. Plymouth Argyle's new temporary | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
manager is captain Carl Fletcher after Peter Reid was sacked this | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
weekend. Longest-serving player Romain Larrieu will be his first- | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
team coach. Reid was dismissed after a run of eight straight | :12:40. | :12:50. | |
:12:50. | :12:50. | ||
league defeats which sees Argyle bottom of the Football League. | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Peter Reid probably did not know what he was about to let himself in | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
for when he was appointed in June last year. He tried his utmost to | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
keep them in League One, but take 10 point deduction for going into | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
administration proved too much of a burden, and they were relegated to | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
what is effectively the Fourth Division. With Argyle in dire | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
straits both on and off the pitch, Reid dug into his own pocket to pay | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
the overdue heating bill, and even donated an FA Cup runners-up medal | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
at a club auction to help raise funds. Now, holding up the rest of | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the Football League with just one point from a possible 27, a non- | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
League football a real threat, Reid has paid the price for poor results. | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
Football is a results based business, but Peter Reid has given | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
Argyle a tremendous amount of loyalty and service, and has stuck | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
with us during a period when most individuals or any football manager | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
would have walked away. Filling the void for the time being, team | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
captain Carl Fletcher, who was sent off on Saturday for violent conduct, | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
meaning he is banned for three games. And goalkeeper Romain | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Larrieu will be acting first-team coach. I will be asking everyone | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
:14:11. | :14:14. | ||
for a bit of advice here and there and try to implement our ideas. The | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
:14:24. | :14:26. | ||
wife will probably end up telling me what to do! The first team coach | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
in 11 years. I would not have been able to think about that when I | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
first came. The move is designed to put points on the board very | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
quickly, and boy do they need them. Well, the man who made these | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
decisions is acting chairman Peter Ridsdale. After the press | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
conference, he popped into the studio, and I asked him why he'd | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
sacked Peter Reid. Because ultimately, football is about what | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
happens in the park. We have played nine league games and got one point. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
Lost their last eight league games. Whatever else anyone else says | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
about the way Peter has conducted himself, football is about results. | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
But he has shown immense loyalty to Plymouth Argyle, often not being | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
paid. Surely loyalty should be rewarded? Well, we are trying to | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
find a buyer for the football club. Some of the buyers are looking at | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
lead to. My overriding principle is, I have to find a buyer who wants to | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
make sure Argyle still exists this time next year. The only way we do | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
that is to arrest the decline on the field. I felt that one point | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
out of 27 was not acceptable. could you afford to get rid of him | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
with the club in administration? Peter is under contract for the | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
rest of the season. Any prospective new buyer is aware of that. We will | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
make sure we honour the contractual commitments of Peter going forward. | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
But could we afford not to get rid, despite the fact that he had been | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
the ultimate professional? Football is about results, and the results | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
were not good enough. What makes you think that two completely | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
inexperienced managers will do a better job? We looked at fresh | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
opportunity from within the club. Car was very excited about the | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
opportunity. I was talking to him about what he could do to fix the | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
problems. He deserves a chance. are making massive decisions when | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
you yourself might not be at Plymouth Argyle in a couple of | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
weeks' time depending on who buys the club. Are you happy making | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
these decisions? It is a privileged position to be chairman of a | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
football club. In the good times, you enjoy it, and in the difficult | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
times, it is lonely. But ultimately, you are the person who takes | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
decisions. Clearly, I consulted a few people. I had no authority to | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
take the decision without the administrator's agreement, because | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
he is legally in charge. I also consulted James Brent, because he | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
is a prospective owner and I want to make sure he was not saying, I | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
will only buy the club if Peter is in charge. Ultimately, leadership | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
is all about making decisions, and that is what I have done. Some fans | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
are livid about the sacking. Do you understand their anger? | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
understand that supporters see the tip of an iceberg. They see what | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
they read in the paper and on your programme every night. Peter has | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
been an outstanding professional in difficult times. But ultimately, as | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
I have said, football is about results. The results are not | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
acceptable. Peter himself has said that. I am used to fans being | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
emotional and telling me they don't like me. But I have to look in the | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
mirror in the morning and think whether the decisions are the right | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
decisions. Did he take the news well? Peter was outstanding. We | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
talked briefly about the decision, and then he said, let's have a chat | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
and a coffee. I was there with him for over an hour after I had | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
conveyed the decision to him. That is the man he is. I think he knew | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
it was the right time for change. And you can see my full interview | :18:09. | :18:19. | |

There wasn't much good news for the region's other football league | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
teams either this weekend, as they failed to produce a single win | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
between them. Only Torquay United salvaged some reward in a thrilling | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
draw against Rotherham at Plainmoor. It is not just Plymouth Argyle who | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
are teetering at the bottom of their division. So are Exeter City. | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
They went down 2-0 against Bournemouth. When you are down, | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
nothing seems to go right for you. Richard Duffy's face testified to | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
that after Bournemouth scored their second. A bizarre equaliser from | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
Yeovil town's prior outfoxed Sheffield Wednesday and the | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
cameraman, who gamely hit a ball back to the keeper, who collided | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
with his own defender. A goal was scored which Wednesday claimed was | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
not in the spirit of the game. But they got their revenge, winning by | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
three-2. It was a hat-trick of drawers for Torquay United in | :19:13. | :19:23. | |
:19:23. | :19:48. | ||
League Two. They came back from 2-0 The chiefs' only reply came from a | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
penalty try. In cricket's Twenty20 national finals day for club teams, | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
St Just from Cornwall were knocked out of the competition in the semi- | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
finals. At Chelmsford, St Just made only 108 for six, with Gary Thomas | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
and Mark George scoring 22 and 18 respectively. But Ealing eased home | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
by seven wickets to qualify for tonight's final. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
That is all the sport, but there was plenty of exciting action on | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
the water this weekend. A sporting spectacle, the like of which | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
Plymouth has rarely witnessed. Seven days of sailing, not to | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
mention capsizes, are now over as the America's Cup World Series | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
reached an exciting climax. The city council says more than a | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
hundred thousand people watched the event across the week. Spotlight's | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
John Henderson was in amongst the action for the final contest, the | :20:41. | :20:51. | |
:20:51. | :20:54. | ||
winner takes all fleet race. It finished as it started. Speed, | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
spray and the occasional smash. We have got carnage out there | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
already. After seven days of high- octane sailing, the America's Cup | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
World series went out with a bang. They said this was racing on the | :21:12. | :21:22. | |
:21:22. | :21:27. | ||
edge, and they are going down like ninepins. Plymouth City Council | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
says 115,000 people turned out to catch the action. Sunday's winner | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
takes all fleet race did not disappoint. He is down! It is that | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
sort of thing that has made this event so exciting and so popular in | :21:43. | :21:52. | |
Plymouth this week. The final race or three capsizes, the catamarans | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
pushed it to the limit with 35 mile an hour wind gusts. But no one | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
complained about conditions. Plymouth Sound, good wind, sun, | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
loads of crowds, plenty of support from local Plymouth, Cornish and | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
Devon people. It has been a great success. New Zealand coming across. | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
The Fleet Racing Championship was won by an oracle boat. There is the | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
chequered flag. The crew celebrated in style. Here comes a champagne | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
moment. And there is cheese! think this has topped it. It is | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
such a natural amphitheatre, and the conditions have been fantastic. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
Everyone I have seen in the street has come up and said hello. It is | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
the biggest crowd we have seen. I think Plymouth surprised everyone. | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
San Diego is the next venue for the America's Cup World series. | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
:23:03. | :23:04. | ||
Plymouth will be hard to beat. Those pictures were beamed | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
worldwide. I was watching it on TV yesterday and it was incredible. | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
They are great pictures. How they were getting those live shots back | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
from the boats as they were tipping over, the pictures were carrying on. | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
And perfect weather as well here, just the right amount of wind. | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
is exactly it, the wind limit for sailing is around 35 knots, and we | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
had wind speeds just below that for much of the day. They were perfect | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
:23:42. | :23:44. | ||
The wind is nowhere near as strong as it has been. That is the good | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
news for us. The weather will settle down from Wednesday onwards | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
after the rain. Earlier on, there was a string of cloud out to the | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
west which will head our way overnight tonight. That is a cold | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
weatherfront. Of the moment, we are sandwiched between weatherfronts. A | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
few breaks in the cloud, but the cloud will thicken again as the | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
weatherfront heads towards us overnight and into the first part | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
of the day tomorrow. By the time we get to Wednesday, the high pressure | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
which is currently down to the south-west will start to build | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
towards us, bringing a quieter end to the week. For the time being, | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
although for many of us, it was a great day, a few breaks developed | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
in that cloud through the afternoon. But they will fill in again this | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
evening. Increasing amounts of cloud overnight. Eventually, this | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
weatherfront moves towards us from the north-west, introducing rain | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
through the early hours, particularly to northern and | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
western parts of our region. The south-east will stay dry for much | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
of the night. Temperatures are not doing too badly underneath the | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
cloud. For many of us, it is a grey and wet start to the day tomorrow. | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
Parts of Dorset and perhaps southern parts of Devon will escape | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
that rain until later in the day. But it will continue to push in | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
from the north-west as the day goes on. Through the afternoon tomorrow | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
for many of us, it will turn heavy for a time. Temperatures are | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
struggling underneath that cloud and rain. It will feel cooler than | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
it appears here. In the Isles of Scilly, it will be cloudy, with | :25:30. | :25:40. | |
:25:40. | :25:59. | ||
For the surfers, a bit of swell around. Fairly messy conditions on | :25:59. | :26:09. | |
:26:09. | :26:21. | ||
Sea temperatures have just about reached their peak. They will start | :26:21. | :26:31. | |
