against superbugs. Good evening and welcome to Spotlight. The news has | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
been warmly welcomed. Fewer people could die from. If you can catch | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
people right from day one and decide how they are, that will have a real | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
impact on their illness and mortality. The Royal Marines get a | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
:00:49. | :01:00. | ||
royal visitor and a new �30 million huge ancient woodland on Dartmoor. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
The number of people dying from the superbug C-difficile could be | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
reduced as a result of research in Devon. For a decade, C-diff has | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
posed major problems in hospitals. Now, after a four year project, | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
scientists at Exeter University have discovered which tests will predict | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
who is most at risk. As Hamish Marshall reports, experts say this | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
is a major breakthrough and its hoped the tests can be rolled out | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
:01:29. | :01:30. | ||
nationwide. C difficile can be a killer. It cost in the Miller his | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
life. His daughter saw the symptoms first hand. They welcome anything | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
that can reduce the number of people to suffer from it. | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
He went down and down and down. He used to like his whiskey, that he | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
would not even have that. He could not eat or speak. He just went down | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
:02:02. | :02:03. | ||
and down. It was awful. Scientists at Exeter University | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
analysed... They found a testing plan which finds out whether a | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
patient is likely to suffer the worst symptoms. This test can then | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
be applied to them. It can give an indicator of how it will progress. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
On the back of that, they can decide the treatment of regiment for that | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
patient. There were nearly 17.5 thousand reported cases in 2011 in | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
England. It was related to 1.1% of all deaths in England and Wales | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
between 2006 and 2010. Patients over the age of 65 are at particular | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
risk. It is hoped the new testing plan will reduce this especially as | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
there is no vaccine as of yet. The beauty of the research done here | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
is that the test that they have discovered is simple. It can be | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
carried out quickly by a junior doctor and the results come | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
quickly, so somebody who needs treatment can get it as soon as | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
possible. I think it is something that can be | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
widely and easily used by doctors. The something to be taken up and be | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
practical is a good thing. number of C-diff cases has been | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
reducing. There are still around 20 a month in the East Devon area | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
alone, so this is a major breakthrough. If you can catch | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
people on day one and start treatment early, that could have a | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
very real impact on their mortality. It is a bit like a food poisoning | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
type of bug, but ten times worse. Research continues and a vaccine | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
would be an even bigger breakthrough. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Prince Harry has officially opened a new �30 million amphibious centre of | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
excellence for the Royal Navy in Plymouth. The centre, at Devonport, | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
will be known as Royal Marines Tamar. It will be home to the crews | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
of landing vessels, hovercraft and fast boats formerly based at | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
Turnchapel and Poole. Andy Breare's report contains some flash | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
:04:20. | :04:23. | ||
Taking the salute, his Royal high and so at Devonport Naval base today | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
to officially open the Royal Navy's �30 million centre of amphibious | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
excellence. This morning's parade was attended by family and friends | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
of personnel here. This is a seminal moment. The Royal Navy at has put a | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
lot of investment into us to build this centre in Devonport. Bringing | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
together all of the amphibious assets in one place. It is | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
fantastic. A brilliance day. -- a brilliant. The new headquarters | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
of the dockyard brings together two units. They were until you recently | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
based in Poole. It will be the first time that the Royal Navy has all of | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
its amphibious capability in one place. There will be 300 military | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
personnel here. This is the first time that... | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Putting all of this research is together and bringing them alongside | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
the ships. It means that we can produce a more effective end | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
result, but it also means that the guys on the training can see the | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
units and the kind of things we do. The reason why it is so good is that | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
the two engineering teams have come together and not only have they | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
located here, we have also co-located where the amphibious | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
ships are. It is important that everything is kept together. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
focuses our teams. Following the ceremony, Prince Harry | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
attended a lunch with naval personnel and their families. It was | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
a chance for him to find out first-hand more about how the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
facility aims to consolidate and improve the Royal Navy's amphibious | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
:06:28. | :06:29. | ||
Our political editor Martyn Oates is with us now. So, at a time of cuts | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
to the Armed Forces this is a case where the Government is actually | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
investing in Devonport? Yes, this plan was drawn up by the last Labour | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
Government, when it had a big review. They look at how resources | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
should be shared out. The coalition, when it came to power, had its own | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
review but decided to stick with this particular project which is | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
bringing more Marines to Plymouth. It had bigger plan for the Marines, | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
didn't it? It's dead. It had aspirations to bring all of the | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
:07:12. | :07:14. | ||
Marines together. -- it did. It was heavily hinted that they could be | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
moved from Scotland into Cornwall. To a point that is now a training | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
base. Then the defence secretary announced that the Marines at | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
Arbroath will be staying there for the, quote, foreseeable future. It | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
is not sure whether the plan has scrapped or whether it is just a | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
longer term project. There is still uncertainty about the new generation | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
of frigates, isn't there? Yes, this decision is a long way off, not | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
least because they have not been built yet. But that is not stopping | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
the lobbying to get the base there. The Portsmouth MPs are saying, | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
Plymouth has all of this amphibious stuff, Portsmouth should be home of | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
the surface fleet. Since some changes have been brought in by the | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
coalition, this decision will be taken by the head of the Navy not | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
politicians. Nearly six months ago, Axminster was | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
going through the most testing of economic times. The carpet | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
manufacturer it was so famous for, and relied on so heavily, was | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
calling in the administrators. Hundreds of jobs were lost, but then | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
a deal was done to save the company. The firm is now taking on new staff | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
again but not everyone is back in work. Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
been following the town's progress and looks now at how the community | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
:08:44. | :08:46. | ||
Axminster, like everywhere, is struggling through tough economic | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
times. No one was ready for the news on Fabry the 20th. | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
400 jobs at risk at the world-famous carpet factory. How could a company | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
in business for nearly 260 years fall now? The town's employer. | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
Hundreds of jobs were on the line. 13 days later, confirmation, 300 | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
people lose their jobs. It was a major blow. Most of the | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
staff there had joined when they were 16 and worked there for many | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
many years and they understood that they would be working there for the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
rest of their working lives. A deal has been done to save the | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
company and it is taking on new staff, but after 12 years, Julie | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
Ford was one of the people who lost her job. When I found out I was | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
going to be made redundant, I was devastated and upset. You take it | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
personally. You don't understand why you've not been kept and other | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
people have. You wonder what was wrong with me? It is soul | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
destroying, as you wonder what you did wrong. It is especially hard | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
Julie to move on. This is my house, this is where I live. I live so | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
close to the factory. Just down there is the gate that I used to | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
use. I have to walk past every day and see everybody who still has a | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
job that going to work. It is hard. My garden backs onto the factory, so | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
I have to look at it every day. 30th of May and two months since the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
jobs were lost and Axminster is doing all it can to help. Julie is | :10:50. | :11:00. | |
:11:00. | :11:01. | ||
here at a jobs fair. Thank you. Since March, she has been able to | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
find a job at the local school for two days a week. I have been around | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
and seemed quite a few people. The donkey Sanctuary was very | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
interesting. They can try and take part-time people and that seemed a | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
very good. I felt quite positive about that one. I have applications | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
to fill out. She is excited about the possibility that of working at | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
the sanctuary. When she gets home, she fills in the application and | :11:34. | :11:42. | |
puts it in the post. And we'll find out if Julie was | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
lucky with her job search on Monday, when we're back in Axminster for the | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
second of our special reports. Still ahead in tonight's programme. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Upset and outrage - Mount Edgcumbe's historic statue of Venus is | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
destroyed - vandals are blamed. And despite the recent dry weather, | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
:12:05. | :12:06. | ||
record entries for the South West's Vandals have been blamed for | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
destroying an historic statue at one of Cornwall's famous country houses. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
The remains of the statue of Venus were found by gardeners at Mount | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
Edgcumbe. Local people have been so upset that one has even offered a | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
reward to catch the culprits. Eleanor Parkinson reports. | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
Apollo stands out over the gardens at Mount Edgcumbe and next to him is | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
the god of wine. Next to them is an empty plinth. There's a statue | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
missing, the third. It was destroyed by vandals. Police believe it | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
happened on Wednesday night. Today, they were examining what is left of | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
her. The statue has stood here for 200 | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
years since these gardens were established in the 19th century. | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
Staff say a bit of history has been lost. She survived the Blitz, she | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
survived that. She has seen the restoration of the gardens over the | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
last 40 years and now she has been destroyed. People visiting our | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
shocked and disappointed. I think it is terrible. I don't know why | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
someone would do that. It has so much history. It is pointless. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
people knew a bit more about the history, they may appreciate it a | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
bit more. Police are hoping that something may | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
have been left behind by the vandals. They will be examining the | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
stonework for fingerprints. It is not clear if it can be repaired. She | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
may have to be replaced by a modern replica. | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Time for the sport now and here's Dave on the eve of the new football | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
season. In the Championship, for the first | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
time in their history, are Yeovil Town after winning promotion at | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Wembley in May. Many are wondering how they'll cope in one of the | :14:08. | :14:17. | |
richest divisions in the world. Many sceptics will be saying, enjoy | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
it while you can. Pundits forecast that they will go straight back | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
down, the Somerset club could have the last laugh. After all, they were | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
favourites to go down this time last year. Then they won promotion in the | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
play-off final against Brentford. We can make sure we are ambitious. | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
We can make sure we pay attention to the detail and that we are the | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
fittest and make sure that we have more desire than everyone else. They | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
don't cost money. We will hold our hands up on quality, but I think we | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
:15:06. | :15:06. | ||
will be fine. Yeovil has been a leak of the ten years and the thought of | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
pitting their wits against the opulence of Queens Park Rangers, | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
:15:19. | :15:19. | ||
Redding and Wigan athletic does not worry the Glovers at all. There have | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
been congratulations from many people in the football circles. We | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
got congratulations on the way we progressed the club since our | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
non-league days. We run it as a business and we don't spend more | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
than we can earn. Basically, that won't change. There will be many a | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
sell-out as they begin to convert their stadium into an all-seater | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
arena. How can they afford to keep up with the Joneses? People laughed | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
when I first joined the club to say that we will take the football club | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
into the Football League. We have achieved that. It has been referred | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
to it as our premiership, I think we can achieve more if we get the | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
support from the local council. Yeovil hopefully good start against | :16:12. | :16:22. | |
Millwall, while Torquay United are also going for an opening day win. | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
What are the chances for all of our sides this season? We featured | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
Exeter City and Torquay and Plymouth Argyle yesterday. The common theme | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:43. | ||
is money. The club's need money. The telling point will be Christmas and | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
New Year when the going gets a bit tough and the managers wants to | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
strengthen their squad. You have to have money to do that. If the clubs | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
operate astutely then they could make a push for promotion. It | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
depends on how well the business model is run. I think Exeter City, | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
:17:14. | :17:17. | ||
Torquay United and Plymouth Argyle have learnt their lessons. | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
BBC Somerset will follow the Glovers for every match, home and away. Over | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
on BBC Radio Devon now, David Fitzgerald is discussing the | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
prospects for the three Devon teams in a phone-in up to seven o'clock. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Plymouth schoolgirl Ruta Meilutyte aims for a second gold medal at the | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
World Swimming Championships in Barcelona this weekend. After | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
winning the 100m breaststroke final on Tuesday, the 16-year-old now | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
targets the 50m version and she's favourite to make it a double | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
success. The heats and semi-finals are tomorrow, with the final on | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
Truro's Sarah-Jane Boyd looks like missing out on the cut after the | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
first two rounds at the Womens' Open at St Andrews. The 21-year-old, seen | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
here practising at her own Truro Golf Club, was five over par going | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
into today's second round - 11 shots off the leader. She is currently | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
eight over par, that is nine shots behind the cut in her debut at the | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
Open as an amateur player. Finally, BBC local radio and BBC | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
online will be across every minute and every goal of the new football | :18:23. | :18:33. | |
season from tomorrow until May third next year. If you love football, it | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
will go quickly, but if you don't... Described as one of the largest | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
woodlands to come on to the market in the last 20 years - Fingle Woods | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
in Devon are tonight under new ownership. Earlier today two | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
conservation charities took the site out of private hands to be opened up | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
to the public. The valley on the edge of Dartmoor near Drewsteignton | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
stretches to more than eight hundred acres. The Woodland Trust and the | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
National Trust want to allow English Oak to dominate the landscape once | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
more and say it was a huge opportunity not to be missed as I've | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
:19:14. | :19:16. | ||
pleasant land and the view is, well, Judge for yourself. This could | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
be just as much North America as Blake's England. So many of these | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
trees are not native. The first step is being taken towards putting down | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
a fume or original roots on 100 acres of Dartmoor. | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
You rip out the plasterboard, like a house, . In this case, it is the | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
North American conifers that are coming out, allowing the English oak | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
to re-establish itself. In fact, it could take 70 years for | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
the Fingle Woods to get back to their former life. We cannot wander | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
in just yet as the purchase has not formally gone through, but we can | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
take a look at the approaching tracks. The team is almost certainly | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
won't be around to see it finished, but they don't live in a world of | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
instant answers. The landscape of the next century needs to be slowly | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
nurtured, starting with small pockets of what has survived from | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
the past. How do you restore an ancient | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
woodland? We cannot replant a 400-year-old tree, but what we have | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
got here is the remnants of the old forest. We can work with the | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
remnants of the old forest to create a new one. We begin by introducing | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
more light, just like we can see here. As the acorns fall off the oak | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
trees, they start to germinate in these pools of sunshine and the | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
ground floor will start to spread by seeding and flowering and as we | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
remove the conifer, these things will spread into the wider woodland. | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
At this point, you may be feeling sorry for the conifer. No one is | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
really suggesting wholesale removal across the UK, but ancient woodland | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
is rare and there is a feeling it should have a greater presence, | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
increasing the amount of cover increases the range of animals, too. | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
It is important because the wildlife is used to the original woodland and | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
by removing the conifers, we can bring that back. It will be open to | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
the public and the charities argue that a valuable supply of timber is | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
not being lost. They say the slopes do not lend themselves to commercial | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
production. This is simply about making given a bit more like Devon | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
always was. Now, while most of us have been | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
celebrating the recent heatwave, many gardeners have been less than | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
happy. But the West Country's biggest flower show is still | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
managing to attract record entries in some areas. Taunton Flower Show | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
opened its gates this morning and around 15,000 people will walk | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
through them over the next two days. Our Somerset reporter Clinton Rogers | :22:07. | :22:16. | |
was among the first in. This is the bit that the public | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
don't get to see, where the decisions are made. Who has won and | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
:22:31. | :22:35. | ||
resilient. A record 500 exhibitors here prove that point, but it has | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
been a battle this year, especially for the flower growers. It has been | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
too dry. It is not good for all of the plants. I just hope that they | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
still have smiles on their faces when they come into this marquee and | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
that we judges that have two make sure that we have done our job | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
right. You will never please every gardener. It is the biggest flower | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
show in the region. I am feeling quite comfortable here. There is a | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
real pride attached to Taunton Flower Show and that is a pride in | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
history as they say they are the oldest and longest running flower | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
show in the country. This show has been running since 1831. This woman | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
has researched its history and says it is almost the oldest in the | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
world. The Guinness book of records tells | :23:35. | :23:43. | |
us that we are the second oldest and longest flower show in the world. | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
Philadelphia beat us by two years. In total, nearly 2000 individual | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
entries are to be judged. From the amateurs to the professional growers | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
and garden designers. Just in case all of this hot weather makes you | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
yearn for what was, how about this? You get the feeling that the snowman | :24:09. | :24:19. | |
:24:19. | :24:19. | ||
will arrive at any time. A long time since we saw snow. It is | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
time for the weather and I don't think there will be any snow in the | :24:22. | :24:32. | |
:24:32. | :24:35. | ||
sunshine around this weekend. We also have some showers to watch out | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
for. And unsettled picture overall and by the time we get to the end of | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
Sunday, it could be very wet. We have had some wet weather around | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
today, but a lot of sunshine as well. It is this line of showers, at | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
the moment, that has been making its way across Cornwall and into Devon. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Do take care, as there could be some fairly torrential downpours with the | :25:02. | :25:10. | |
some thunder. This is how it looked around text of Canal. -- Exeter | :25:10. | :25:20. | |
:25:20. | :25:24. | ||
Canal. It is warm enough in the sun for a bit of cooling beer. If you | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
are really warm, have a dip. The temperature at the airport reached | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
21 Celsius, proof that it is still warm in the sunshine. It is still | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
looking unsettled though. You can see a line of showers with us | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
through this evening and you can see that the wet weather will stay | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
around with us for a while. Tomorrow, there is a risk of some | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
heavy, thundery downpours. On Sunday, we have this low pressure | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
area that is set to develop some uncertainty. It looks like we will | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
see some wet weather by the end of the weekend. This evening, with | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
those heavy showers around. There will be some clear spells | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
overnight, but some of these showers will continue into the early hours. | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
Temperatures overnight will be staying up to 15, 16 Celsius. From | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
the word go tomorrow, we still have some of these showers around. There | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
is always a risk of locally heavy downpours and a risk of thunder. In | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
central part of the region, these showers could develop into a line | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
and you could catch a few. There will be some warm sunshine in | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
between those showers. The Isles of Scilly, we have some sunny spells, | :26:43. | :26:52. | |
but also chances of showers. The times of high water at Plymouth, | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
0354 and at Bideford, 0416. You may so find some clear waves in the | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
shelter, but generally messy conditions. The winds from the South | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
West are at a force for, up to a force five. It is a mixture of a | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
weekend. We have some sunny spells tomorrow. On Sunday, we could have | :27:17. | :27:23. |
