The spare room the benefit cut, thousands of tenants may have to | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
downsize or pay extra. Making somebody find money from the bare | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
minimum of what they have got in the first place, I do not think it | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
is fair on anybody. Good evening and welcome to Spotlight. The | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
government says it's determined to cut the annual �23 billion pound | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
housing benefit bill. We'll have more on that story in a moment. Why | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Exeter's buying in to new technology to combat shoplifting | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
and we're live at Plymouth's Life Centre as the country's top divers | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :00:53. | ||
prepare for the British Thousands of social housing tenants | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
in the South West face a benefit reduction from April. The change to | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
housing allowances will affect more than nine thousand households in | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Devon and Cornwall. The new rules allow one bedroom for each adult or | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
couple but two children under ten will be expected to share a room | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
and if they are the same sex they will have to share until they are | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
sixteen. One spare room will mean a 14 % cut in housing benefit, two | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
spare rooms will incur a 25% reduction. The Government says it | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
will save money, but critics say it will do nothing to reduce a | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
shortage of social housing. Andy Breare reports. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
It's been the family home for 17 years but Michel says a change to | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
housing benefit is leaving her and her teenage daughter with a choice, | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
move out or lose vital cash. I just feel the making somebody find some | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
money from the bare minimum of what they've got in the first place, I | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
don't think it's fair on anybody. From April, working-age people in | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
social housing with spare rooms will get less benefit. Disabilities | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
mean Michelle cannot work but her home has three bedrooms and a new | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
one of her three children still lives at home so she will be down | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
�12 a week. This is my flat. This is my bedroom. Someone else who | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
will work -- lose out his Phil macro. He downsize to a flat and | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
his son is single and stays with him when he is not away serving in | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
the RAF. From April, he will see his housing benefit cut. I have | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
downsized all ready to a two bedroom. I am only keeping the room | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
because my son, who is in the armed forces, needs that when he comes | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
home on leave. Critics argue although the government might be | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
right to tackle the housing benefit bill, the policy is not the right | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
way to do it. The main issue is if people want to do something about | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
it, the options are downsizing or paying their rent without | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
additional housing benefit. We all know there isn't a housing | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
available to move around in such a way in social housing. It will | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
cause problems. The auction available to them is an air. -- | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
option. The government says is determined to tackle the �20 | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
billion bill for housing benefit and ministers argue that changes | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
were not only do that but free up more living space for overcrowded | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
families. I am joined by are political editor. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
How is the government defending the move? The Cornish Lib Dem MP says | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
we should spare a thought for the 5 million people who have no housing | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
at all while others have houses with spare rooms. The Prime | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
Minister this week said it's about fairness because people on housing | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
benefit in private rented accommodation do not get extra | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
money for spare rooms. Apart from downsizing, is there anything | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
people can do? The Giroud and from an MP says she could take in a | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
lodger but they have also pointed out there is this a �50 million | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
emergency fund nationally which Cornwall council have �900,000 | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
which could be used to help people who have special problems or | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
special reason for having an extra room. It is not necessary the blunt | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
instrument appears to be. And he will benefit? Disabled people may | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
cut two-thirds of the people affected, according to Labour. The | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Prime Minister was pushed in the Commons on the issue of families in | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
the forces and he was not giving any ground at all. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Thank you. Much more on this subject this weekend on Sunday | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Politics at eleven o'clock here on BBC One. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Spotlight has been told Exeter is planning to become one of the first | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
shopping centres in the country to use photo-ID technology to combat | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
shoplifting. There is already a zero-tolerance scheme operating in | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
parts of the city centre - this new development is seen as vital to | :05:20. | :05:30. | |
:05:30. | :05:30. | ||
further tackle the problem. Simon Alexander has the details. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Shoplifting over the years has struck an unwelcome chord with this | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
shop owner. In the past, he said thousands of pounds of goods stolen | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
but with more focus on deterring thieves, he has seen a drop in | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
items taken. It is the theft. I feel the same as you would if | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
someone broke into your house and stole something. White to | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
shoplifting, I do know. It is theft. There is a zero tolerance scheme in | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
parts of Exeter to stop shoplifting and a ban on known offenders | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
entering shops. Reported incidents are down by 15%. The statement is | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
clear. If you want to indulge in criminal activity, particularly if | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
it is targeted against businesses and -- in Exeter, you will get | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
caught. You had better off stay away. The chances of being caught | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
are very high. There is technology being used, store detectives, we | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
are working with local businesses. We are expanding the schemes across | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
the city rather than focusing on the city centre. | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
Security teams using state of-the- art photo ID systems are seen as | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
vital in deterring people. If an offender is in one premises, if we | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
can share information and photographs of the offender, the | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
chances of there being caught are greater. That is one of the first | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
centres to deliver that technology so we are very much recognising we | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
need to be ahead of the game to tackle shop lifting and anti-social | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
behaviour. In difficult economic times, shops are being extra | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
vigilant. In Exeter, they use the latest technology to get their | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
message across. A record number of rail passengers | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
have been using the regions branch lines. But there's concern that a | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
delay in awarding a long term franchise to an operator will lead | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
to more over crowding. First Group currently has a six month extension | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
to continue running our trains but it will be two years before the | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
full ten to fifteen year franchise is awarded. Our business | :07:38. | :07:48. | |
:07:48. | :07:51. | ||
correspondent Neil Gallacher Small trains with an ever-growing | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
payload. 10 years ago, an early train like this might be empty. The | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
region's branch lines carried 2 million passengers last year. | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
better than the bus. It is more economical. It is cheaper. The big | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
problem was summed up by one retired railway manager. The trains | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
are overcrowded, the ones are used are going to Cornwall. I think it | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
is of great concern for the people in the West Country. The new | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
franchise should have been starting in the spring, one expert says we | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
will miss out on improvements. He admits they are skilled at juggling | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
the stretched fleet. It is a big help but the franchise started in | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
April -- if it started in April July they would have been a nice | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
goodies but we will not get until it is resolved. Now and again the | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
lack of slack in the system has been painfully evident. The best | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
hope now is for the region to shout as loudly as possible for what few | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
carriages become available on the network. In other words, learned | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
the lesson from other regions. sought the north-east and north- | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
west making a better and stronger case and allowed the case and we | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
were slow off the mark. I include myself in that. We need to be a bit | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
sharper and quicker when we know there is rolling stock being | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
upgrade elsewhere to start to argue for that to come to the south-west. | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
First Great Western see it as a problem of success. It is great | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
news, the railway is doing what it should do. We need to continue | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
looking at increasing the rolling stock we have. We need to be | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
creative about how we do that and we do not know how it will turn out. | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
Discussions will be ongoing. Every now and again, you'll see a coach | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
which they have borrowed to keep the extraordinary passenger demand | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
satisfied. How much longer they can carry on relying on the approach, | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
nobody can say. The Scillonian Three, the only | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
passenger ferry link between the mainland and the Isles of Scilly | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
has undergone a two million pound refit. There have been concerns | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
about travel links to the islands, since the helicopter service pulled | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
out last year. The Scillonian has now been given a certificate to | :10:20. | :10:30. | |
:10:30. | :10:36. | ||
operate for another five years. The Scillonian Three is 36 years | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
old. She is being given a �2 million refit. She has new | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
lifeboats and new navigational equipment. When passengers go on | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
board, she will have very different, a new seating, cafes and a bar and | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
better disabled access. There is more space, more colours, the | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
buffet, the seats and flooring. It will be completely different. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
project has provided work for 50 people and staff on the ferry in | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
the summer were offered a chance to get involved. A Rebecca is normally | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
eschewed S But she was given a hard hat and paint brush. I was quite | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
excited. It has been good fun. A really good experience. Finding out | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
so much more stuff about the ship. Learning a lot of new skills. | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
Sanding, painting, grinding. You name it, we've done it. The ferry | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
is a vital link, especially since the helicopter service pulled out | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
last year. At present, she does not sale in winter. People would like | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
to see an all round -- all season round saying. There are two parts, | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
can the boats do it and second he will pay for it? It is about | :11:57. | :12:06. | |
affordability. Few people would use the boat in the winter. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Scillonian Three will leave dry dock tomorrow and begin her sea | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
trials at the end of the month. If all goes well, she will sail for | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
the Isles of Scilly in March. Islanders hope it will be a busy | :12:17. | :12:27. | |

$:/STARTFEED. Shaun Sawyer has been confirmed as the new Chief | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police. He was supported by all | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
members of the panel. He has been the temporary Chief Constable since | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
the depar kphur of Stephen Otter. The assistant Chief Executive of | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Cornwall Council is in line to take over as temporary Chief Executive. | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
A panel has recommended Paul Masters for the post, following the | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
departure of Kevin Lavery. The the arrangement has to be approved next | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
week. Still to come. Some of the country's top divers are in the | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
south-west, we will be live at the Plymouth Life Centre. Who is the | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
region's best school chef? It is one of these three. We will reveal | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
who later. And the publicly owned art coming out of the shadows for | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
all to see. The British Diving Championships have begun in | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
Plymouth, and in the very first everpbgts we have had some south- | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
west success. -- event, let us go live to the Life Centre now. It is | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
the most prestigious diving Championship to be held here since | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
the sell ter own opened last year. The home crowd have had a lot to | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
cheer arbgts as fl has been a gold medal in the champion snoirps a | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
Plymouth pair. The first ever British diving final at Plymouth's | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
new Life Centre, two local girls were the firm favourites. Tonia | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
Couch and var Barrow have been looking down on the rest of the | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
best pairs for the last three years. And in front of their home fans | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
they didn't disappoint. They were pushed hard by Leeds pair Rebecca | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
Gallantree and Jenny Cowan. But Team GB's 2012 Olympic pair pulled | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
out a fantastic fourth dive, as they went on to break their own | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
national record. Another British record. Another personal best fours. | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
We keep on improving year on year. You only improve a slight amount of | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
points but we were pleased this time. Both of us were nervous going | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
into the competition. Tomorrow, now I have done a round, I will be a | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
bit more relaxed. I am really excited. So all smiles for the home | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
crowd here in Plymouth. But as Tonia and Sarah get a fourth | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
British synchro gold medal, tomorrow they become rival, as they | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
go for the individual 10 metre crown. Well, joining me now is the | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
head coach of Plymouth diving Andy Bang, another British record for | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Tonia and Sarah what was your feeling on their performance? | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
was a brilliant result they have been working hard over the winter. | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Their strength and conditioning programme has been significant, | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
five dives needed, all of them had to kourpbgts and they smashed it. | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
That record is not easy. I am happy. We have more to come. Tom Daley | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
dives on Sunday. I understand he is struggling with illness. What is | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
the latest on his condition? He had has a horrible chest infection | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
which has put his temperature up and heart rate. So he is feeling | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
grotty. He managed to come in yesterday. We are hoping he will be | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
OK. But he is back home resting, we maybe get him in tomorrow, and | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
check him over. He wants to dive. That is the plan at the moment. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Fingers crossed he will be OK. The home crowd will love to see him. | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
What has it been like for you as koefrpbgs seeing the home | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
Championships? We are worried that the wheels are going to come off | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
but they haven't even come loose. It is a mixture of locals and the | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
national crew. They have worked to make this run smoothly. It is a | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
fantastic facility, so an easy job for them. Of course you can find | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
out Houghton ya and Sarah do tomorrow and how Tom does on Sunday, | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
here on BBC Spotlight and on BBC Radio Devon as well. Thank you. | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
More sports new, and Exeter Chiefs travel to face Sale in 2 | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
Premiership tonight. Exeter got their first win since the start of | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
December last week, in the LV Cup and the pressure is on for the side | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
picked tonight to perform. The guys that get the shirt this weekend | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
have got a bit of pressure on their backs, they know other guys are | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
able to perform at that level, so we are fully focused on that, | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
getting good performance this weekend, and it has been tough | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
making those selection decisions. In the Championship Plymouth Albion | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
travel away to Rotherham while Jersey face a tough trip to Bedford. | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
Cornish Pirates can do the islanders a favour as they struggle | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
to avoid relegation away to Doncaster. Yeovil Town face a key | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
quest to get into the League One play off places. Plymouth Argyle | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
have an important away match. Yeovil will hope for more from | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
Paddy manning when they go away. A win could see the Glovers move into | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
the play off places if results go their way. The other end of things | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
Plymouth Argyle face a huge away game at Aldershot. They are only | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
out of the League Two relegation zone on goal difference and travel | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
to Hampshire side who are one point better off. Exeter City who occupy | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
the final play off spot are back on their travels. They have best away | :18:12. | :18:19. | |

the region's best school cook, pit their skills against one another, | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
and allow children to judge the result, and you have one tough | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
contest. That is what happened today when the final of the south- | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
west school Chef of the Year competition took place at Plymouth | :18:40. | :18:50. | |
:18:50. | :18:54. | ||
There is a bit of pressure but it is anyone's game. Got highly | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
commended last year and two years previous. This is my first time. I | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
have been blocking it in my head. The heat is on for these three | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
chefs. They have 90 minutes to produce two courses, to tantalise | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
the taste buds. Smoky paprika chick within home-made pasta. I am making | :19:16. | :19:25. | |

being studied by a panel of judges including 11 year pupils from a | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
primary school. We are asking is it something you would know or is it | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
something you grew up with or is it new to you? They are looking | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
forward to tasting the puddings. will try all of them. We both love | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
puddings. The food has to look good. Taste great and be healthy. We want | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
something where they improve the nutrition, so they have throughout | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
about the fruit and vegetables and the calcium content and they have | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
thought about the protein to help them get strong muscles, and enough | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
carbohydrates, and not too sugary, salty or fatty. Finally, all plated | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
up, it was over to the judges to decide on a winner. Dry, throat, | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
sweat, really nervous now. I have a one in three chance attend of the | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
day. But we shall see. I am against two good people so anywhere I come | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
I would be more than happy, but I would like to win. The tieted went | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
to Steve Spofford. His chicken layered gateau followed by apple | :20:39. | :20:43. | |

better than this. -- school dinners. They have come on school dinners. | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
It was chips and beans when I was at school. And horrible pastry. And | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
tapioca. I like that! Snowdrop Valley on Exmoor has opened to the | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
public but a week later than usual. The park normally attracts 5,000 | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
visitors a week when the flowers are in bloom in February, the | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
opening was delayed after more than 200 trees were brought down along | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
the road in the recent heavy snow and rain. Now f you are out in | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Exeter or Plymouth this evening you will be able to see some works of | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
art in unfamiliar settings. Paintings are being projected on to | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
the side of Exeter Cathedral and behind us is what is being | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
projected on the Drakes Circus in Plymouth. It is the launch of a new | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
nishty between the BBC and the charity public catalogue foundation | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
to allow people to see art not usually on view. Thousands will be | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
on view on our website to show the national collection of oil paints. | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
Making a rare appearance. The last time this portrait made a public | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
outing was in 1957. It needs a bit of conservation, as it is still in | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
its original 1780s canvas, but that is expensive. This oil painting may | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
be out of limelight, but now, like many others, it is viewable on the | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
web. Along with stories about its history. It is a combination of the | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
great artist, so a great Cornish artist, it is a great sitter. Sir | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
John, who was a very important Cornish land owner the late 18th | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
century. He was an interesting character he was a dandy at the | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
time, and he had great legs and was a great dancer apparently. But he | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
is notorious in the history of the city, particularly, he had two | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
long-standing mistress, and had many children with them. He was | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
also an important scientists and MP. And story like this can be found | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
with many of the 800 oils from the museum which have been catalogued | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
on to the website. More than 200,000 oil paint, from the | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
national collection are available for the public to view. People are | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
being asked to take part in this project by tagging a painting on | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
the website and adding information about the art, the artist, or in | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
fact the subject if possible. paintings document our history, our | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
culture, our heritage, and to allow the public to have access to their | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
heritage is really quite vital. website points out where you may be | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
to be able see the paint information the flesh, but some | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
could still be in storage, as for Sir John hebgs is waiting for large | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
sum of money for his conservation. So don't worry if you can't get out | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
because you can go to the website. You can view the entire collection. | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
Once you are on the site you can see which are local to you. Some | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
pictures of stormy seas in some of those paintings which we have had | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
those paintings which we have had over the last few day, will it be | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
calmer? It S there will be plenty of talk about snow. For us that is | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
not a big problem. Rain could be a problem. From is some wet weather | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
heading our way, light and patchy overnight tonight, and enough clear | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
sky to drop the temperature, but later on it will gradually cloud | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
over and we will see some rain setting in. Not a huge amount of | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
wet weather. As that rain band reaches the more eastern fringe, it | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
might turn to sleet, but that is about the most wherein trisilt | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
likely to get. For the weekend -- wintry it is likely to get. We will | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
find cloud and rain overnight tomorrow night, and into Sunday, | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
and then turning colder again, as we move through Sunday and into | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
Monday and Tuesday. Now, there is a lot happening on this satellite | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
picture. This stripe of cloud coming into the more western parts | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
is developing rain as it moves in. There is some clear sky the other | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
side of that. But all this weather out here is the next batch of wet | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
weather for the weekend. There it is midday on Saturday. Sunday is | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
the future we are watching carefully. Giving heavy snow in | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
Midlands, and norpbg England. For us it is likely to produce heavy | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
rain, and some of that rain could add up to about an inch by the | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
early hours of Sunday morn. This fair amount of clear sky, but it | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
will cloud over, and that cloud will start tro deuce patchy light | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
rain. Slowly as it ceeps eastwards it gradually introduces milder air. | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
So perhaps an early low where we have clear sky of one or two degree | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
degrees above freezing. By the end of the night we will see it back up | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
to six or seven. It will feel warmer, despite all the cloud, and | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
we still have the risk of rain, possible on the eastern side of | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
Dorset. Just briefly over high ground that might turn to sleet or | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
snow. As for the rest oufrbgs we keep a fair cover of cloud. Will | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
will be holes developing in the course of the afternoon. Brief lay | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
glimpse of sunshine. It is mainly dry and relatively mild. We will | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
see temperatures of eight, possibly nine degree, as the top figure. | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
Certainly one of the warmest places in Britain. The winds are generally | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
light, we have had pretty stormy conditions, but lighter winds | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
tomorrow, so not too bad. On the 2 forecast for the Isles of Scilly. | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
Here tects it to be mainly dry, and cloudy, but some more pesistant | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
rain later in the afternoon and the evening. Times of high water, at | :26:41. | :26:51. | |
:26:51. | :26:51. | ||
Still sufficient size of waves for the surfers to use. It will be on | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
the choppy side. On the north coast up towards Bude, three to four feet | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
and choppy. Coastal waters forecast. The winds are from the west | :27:00. | :27:07. | |
tomorrow, back south-westerly. Force four or five. The more | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
pesistant rain later in the day. So a let us move on to the outlook. | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
There will be wet weather Saturday night into Sunday. About an inch of | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
rain. Then as we move into the afternoon it will turn more showery. | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
Notice the drop in the temperatures. We are getting colder again. By | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
Tuesday, four or Fife with the risk Tuesday, four or Fife with the risk | :27:29. | :27:30. |
