Hello. Also tonight. An increasingly—used tool to fight | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
crime, or a grave concern for human rights? The rise of the Taser. But | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
critics say the weapon shouldn't be a modern—day truncheon. The father | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
of a man from Plymouth who died wants Tasers banned. I just want | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
them banned permanently. It is totally wrong. The families | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
shouldn't have to suffer like we have. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
And on the operating table, but no need for traditional surgery — a new | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
treatment for a common problem in adults goes from Cornwall to the | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
whole country. Almost 200 jobs are to go at an | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
engineering company in Cornwall. Pall UK has confirmed that it is | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
transferring part of its operation in Redruth to a new factory in | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
Slovakia. The BBC has been told 175 jobs will be lost, but the company | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
has refused to confirm this. It does say that its factories in Newquay | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
and Ilfracombe will not be affected. David George reports from Redruth. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Locally they call this the Pall factory. Inside they make filtration | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
systems. The company's aerospace division is based here. The BBC has | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
been told it's the more general work that will be moved from here to a | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
new factory in Slovakia. Workers here were told about the move | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
yesterday. Some contacted the BBC by e—mail and text. This is no room. | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
There is a minimum of 175 jobs being lost. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
It goes onto say they've been banned from speaking about the job losses. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
The company confirmed the changes but not the number of jobs to go. In | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
a statement, managing director Huw Chapman says there will be: | :02:16. | :02:33. | |
The jobs here are high quality and well—paid, and will be sorely | :02:33. | :02:47. | |
missed. Obviously this is a very sad and worrying news. They are a good | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
employer for the town, and if this is true, it would be sad for | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
everybody. Pall UK describes these people as | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
valued employees. It says it will try to find alternative roles for | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
them. And David is live for us in Redruth | :03:00. | :03:15. | |
tonight with the latest. We wanted to ask the company exactly how many | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
jobs will go, and what these alternative roles might be. We sent | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
an invitation to the managing director, but have had no reply. | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
Joining me here this evening as the Cornwall Council for the area. Your | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
reaction, Mike? Very bad news, especially for the workforce, who | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
worried facing redundancy in the not too distant future. Businesses in | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
the town are bound to suffer, and it is very bad news for Redruth and the | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
county. The county is a very deprived county. We are looking | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
forward to the third tranche of European funding. Because of the | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
poor quality life we suffer hearing Cornwall. Can Cornwall Council do | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
anything? We will be looking at the situation. I have made attempts to | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
contact the portfolio holder this afternoon, but have had no reply | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
yet. I will be following that up. They hope their Slovakian facility | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
will be up and running next year, 2014. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
David in Redruth, thank you. The father of a man from Plymouth | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
who died after a Taser was fired has spoken for the first time about the | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
loss of this son. Kelvin Pimlott says the weapon should be banned. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
His comments come as figures show some big rises in its use by police | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
forces. The Home Office says that between the second half of 2010 and | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
2011 in Avon and Somerset, the number of incidents where the weapon | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
was called upon more than doubled. In Devon and Cornwall, the rise was | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
just under 50%. But in Dorset, there was a drop of about a quarter, | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
although Tasers weren't used very often here. Critics have questioned | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
such large increases, but police have defended their changing | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
tactics, as our Home Affairs Correspondent Simon Hall reports. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
These figures show how much a part of modern policing the Taser has | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
become. Put the weapon down! But some are | :05:27. | :05:40. | |
concerned Taser is too widely and readily used, with too little | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
training for officers. Andrew Pimlott died after being | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
tasered in April in Plymouth. An investigation is under way into | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
whether the weapon ignited the flammable liquid he was covered in. | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
They should never have used it. I have lost a lovely son. And I am | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
really upset about it. I don't know which way to turn. I want it banned | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
permanently. Other families shouldn't have to suffer like I | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
have. You need to remember what a Taser is. It is not a tingle that | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
you get from an electric fence. It is a 50,000 volt assault weapon, and | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
is potentially lethal. A senior officer told me Taser | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
provided an important tactic for police officers dealing with violent | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
situations. What they are faced with is people with knives, people with | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
axes, people acting in a really violent way, or people who are | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
harming themselves, and a Taser can deal with that effectively. It stops | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
us having to use more serious force than an electronically done. These | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
statistics for use don't mean that the Taser is actually fired. It is | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
counted as used if it has been drawn. It is only fired in 20% of | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
cases. Normally, the effect of it being drawn, plus the red dot on | :07:09. | :07:17. | |
someone's chest, is sufficient to defuse a situation. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
The regulator the Independent Police Complaints Commission is currently | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
carrying out an investigation into the justification and reasons for | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
officers' use of Taser. A fast, safe, cost—effective | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
treatment for varicose veins that's been offered to Cornish patients for | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
five years is now being recommended as a first—choice procedure across | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
the UK. The treatment uses heat rather than surgery under general | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
anaesthetic. Our Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy looks | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
at a medical success story from Cornwall. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Pat Venton's been referred for treatment at West Cornwall Hospital | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
after a varicose vein she's had for years has become troublesome. It is | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
very hot and itchy, and it is breaking out into sores. So why | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
we've told you needed the treatment? They said it looked like | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
it was locked, and it needed to be done. But instead of traditional | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
surgery, like vein—stripping under general anaesthetic, Pat's having a | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
keyhole procedure that takes about half an hour and needs only local | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
anaesthetic. Endothermal ablation heats the varicose vein from the | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
inside. A tube or catheter is guided into the vein and a probe inserted | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
into it sends out radio—frequency energy which heats the vein until it | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
collapses, sealing it off. You might feel a funny tickling sensation up | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
the inside of your leg. Vascular surgeon Kenneth Woodburn uses an | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
ultrasound scan to guide the probe, which heats up to 120 degrees | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Celsius. He says it's better for patients and cost—effective. This | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
can be done in an office type environment, with no need for a | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
general anaesthetic. After the procedure, everything returns to | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
normal within a few days, usually within 48 hours, whereas with | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
conventional surgery, most people are laid up for a couple of weeks. | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
This treatment's been available to patients in Cornwall since 2008, but | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
elsewhere many people are still being offered only conventional | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
surgery for varicose veins. Now the clinical advisory body, NICE, says | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
everyone troubled with the condition should be referred to a vascular | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
specialist and should be offered endothermal ablation as a first | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
choice. It is certainly a nice experience for the patient, it is | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
something that can be done as an outpatient under local anaesthetic. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
The patient satisfaction seems to be higher than with traditional | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
surgery. It is undoubtedly a cheaper procedure to be able to offer. | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
A third of the population has varicose veins. More people will now | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
get treatment, but the NHS should save as fewer patients will need | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
care for the complications caused by the condition. Sally Mountjoy, BBC | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
Spotlight, West Cornwall Hospital. The MP for Newquay says some venues | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
like pubs are exploiting a legal loophole to host adult entertainment | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
without a proper licence. Earlier during a parliamentary debate, | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Liberal Democrat Stephen Gilbert said an exemption in the law to | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
allow pubs to host one—off events like a strip—a—gram at a birthday | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
party was being used to run regular lap—dancing nights. I don't want to | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
be alarmist, but a town like New Quay that has seen over recent years | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
a surge in these lap dancing venues, a community that has tackled | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
it head—on to impose significant restrictions on them, could see a | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
gain a large rise in unregulated sexual entertainment events, all of | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
which will happen in spite of their wishes, in spite of the wishes of | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Parliament and in spite of the wishes of the local council. And I | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
think that is wrong. In response to Mr Gilbert, the Home | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Office minister Jeremy Browne offered to meet him to discuss the | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
issue, and said the Government wanted to make sure communities like | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
Newquay received the protection they needed. | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
A member of Somerset—based 40 Commando who was killed in a gun | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
battle in Afghanistan last year has been described at | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
his inquest as an exceptional marine. Corporal David O'Connor, who | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
was 27, died alongside a female Army medic after their patrol came under | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
fire while en route to provide first aid training to the Afghan police. | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
A toddler who fell from the fifth floor of a block of flats in | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
Plymouth has been moved from Derriford Hospital to a specialist | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
unit in Bristol. 15—month—old Shantelle Clarke fell from a bedroom | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
window in the Barne Barton area of the city on Saturday. Her condition | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
has been described as critical but stable. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Plans to turn a section of the A30 near Bodmin into a dual carriageway | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
have passed their latest planning hurdle. The Government has agreed to | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
pay for half the cost of the £60 million pound scheme, but Cornwall | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Council would still need to find funding for the rest. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
You are watching spotlight. Thanks for beginning your evening with us. | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
Still to come: And insight into the desperate plight of refugees on the | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
ground from a charity worker from Cornwall who was just returned from | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
Syria and is appealing for help. We will have the latest weather | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
forecast. If Dr Dolittle was looking for a drinking companion, then Star | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
the duck might be just the animal to share a pint with — he's already | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
causing quite a stir at his local. Just this summer, children in the | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
South West were out campaigning for motorists to slow down to 20 miles | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
an hour near their schools but their efforts may have been in vain. Today | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
the police in Devon and Cornwall told BBC Spotlight they can't | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
routinely check for speeding drivers even in areas where the limit's | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
already 20. Now a number of councillors in Exeter say more needs | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
to be done. Hamish Marshall reports. It doesn't take long to see how | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
often the 20 miles per hour speed limit is ignored here. Yet organised | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
surveys as well as random ones like ours show the limit in residential | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
areas has support from drivers and non drivers. In a built—up area, I | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
can't see the point of driving more than 20 miles an hour. You're not | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
gay to get anywhere any faster. The police could do more, but that has | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
to be funded by somebody. So what difference does the ten | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
miles per hour make? To stop while at 20 miles per hour needs 12 metres | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
— a combination of 6m each of thinking and braking time. If the | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
speed rises to 30 miles per hour, the distance is 23 metres — with | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
both thinking and braking time rising. When 20 zones were | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
introduced in Portsmouth — casualty numbers dropped by 22%. But Devon | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
and Cornwall Police doesn't routinely enforce 20 limits. It says | :14:10. | :14:19. | |
it has to prioritise and targets areas with known problems and where | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
there have been accidents in the past. The few resources we have, we | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
dedicate to those areas. If we have complaints in 20 miles bra limit | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
areas, we will undertake high visibility trolls —— 20 mph limit | :14:31. | :14:43. | |
areas. The local council would like to see more police action, but first | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
he wants Devon County Council to ensure the zones are signed properly | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
so that action can be taken. It is a very small zone, and there are five | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
areas that are not compliant, where the traffic calming measures or the | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
required signs are more than 100 metres apart. So every time I'm in | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
this zone, you could get off on a technicality if the police stopped | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
you. The County Council says it is aware of the concern over the zones, | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
and is reviewing them. Within the last week, one council | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
member has been talking about devastating cuts to come. As one | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
budget squeeze follows another, the impact on people's lives will become | :15:36. | :15:55. | |
more apparent. As council cuts in the region start to dig deep, one | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
area of the South West could lose almost half its public toilets and | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
its council run CCTV coverage. With 39 sites, Teignbridge Council has | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
the second highest number of public loos in Devon. Cuts to the budget | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
are forcing the council to consider closing 17 of them, many in rural | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
areas. Our South Devon reporter John Ayres has more. Teignmouth is a busy | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
seaside town attracting thousands of visitors each year. It has a number | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
of public loos, but the council feels it can't keep all of them. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
This one, near The Triangle in the town, is earmarked to be sold off or | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
closed. The Central Fish Cafe is just around the corner and already | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
has its fair share of people asking to use their toilet. I think people | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
will just use the bushes in the future, as they do already when the | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
toilets are shut. It is a tough economic climate, but they have posh | :16:42. | :16:51. | |
offices. Children will need to go. There are not many restaurants where | :16:51. | :16:51. | |
you can go and ask, and they are quite strict. And it is rude, it is | :16:51. | :17:03. | |
like going into someone's house and asking to use the toilet. This cafe | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
already has its fair share of people asking to use the toilet. They cafe | :17:04. | :17:04. | |
pays its busiesses rates, so it feels it's not its job to provide | :17:04. | :17:15. | |
toilets for the public. The current Teignbridge admistration promised | :17:15. | :17:15. | |
the electorate they would freeze council tax. But the money recieved | :17:16. | :17:16. | |
from Government is reducing rapidly, forcing them to make cuts. | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
Closing public toilets is an emotive subject. They are having to make | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
tough decisions, and it would appear that if the service being provided | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
is not a statutory requirement, it is not sacred. If your budget falls | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
by 10% every year, something has got to happen to make you make ends | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
meet. You are not getting any more money because you are freezing | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
council tax, and yet your budget is falling. | :17:35. | :17:35. | |
The decision on the future of the toilets, and CCTV provision in | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Teignbridge will be made in a week's time. | :17:37. | :17:37. | |
Many of us will have been moved by the pictures of the humanitarian | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
crisis on the borders of Syria. The Cornish —based charity Shelter no —— | :17:42. | :18:02. | |
Shelter box is trying to help. How big is the scale of the problem? I | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
have just returned with a team from Iraqi Kurdistan. Over the last two | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
years, huge amount of displacement, both within is area and externally. | :18:16. | :18:29. | |
We work spurred to go back of weeks ago because an additional 45,000 | :18:29. | :18:41. | |
poured across the border. There was a huge new influx in the Midsummer | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
sun tried to find shelter, and we wanted to help those people. And | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
some of those families have terrible stories to tell, don't they? Yes, | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
young children, mothers, all sorts of stories involved, and what hit | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
home to myself and the team is that you don't need to find a story, we | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
would walk into one camp which had just been set up, originally for | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
10,000 people, but already looking at 20,000, and the UN were working | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
there, and use big to people in different tents, and there was a lot | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
of hospitality involved, which is amazing given what people have been | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
through. There are schools where people are waiting to move into the | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
camps. There was a young mother who rushed up and grabbed us and wanted | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
to tell us is a link to the outside world what had happened to her | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
family, and it was the chemical attacks in Damascus about four | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
kilometres from where they lived. She was incredibly emotional, | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
telling us that her children shouldn't have to see this. School | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
has been disrupted, they have had to leave quickly, they couldn't afford | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
to travel and had to borrow money, the buses were being bombed. She | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
said they had seen mass graves being dug, and the things they had | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
witnessed were horrific. And they have had to leave everything they | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
own, and perhaps sometimes family members? Family members, friends, | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
colleagues. People have very normal lives, and you really can't | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
imagine, thinking back to here in the UK, back in Cornwall, Devon, | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
imagine everyone from your town being uprooted and displaced | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
hundreds or thousands of miles away. Some people were lucky and had their | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
families. There was one man who had completely lost his two sons on the | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
journey, and he still hadn't found them. He was talking about people | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
who had died along the journey, and he had been there some days and | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
hadn't found his sons. I to Mac and they find real comfort in the | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
practical aid organisations like yourself were able to them? | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
Definitely, and it is speed of response. In the context of a | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
protracted disaster, , viewers have Dibley seen us following an | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
earthquake or so one, we respond quickly and effectively. We have | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
been working for 18 months on the crisis, and the emergency phase is | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
still very much there. People still need that very quick response, and | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
we have helped over 4500 families already by providing emergency items | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
such as tents, blankets, and now with winter coming, we need to | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
provide more to see families through. And that is what this £2 | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
million will go towards funding. Thank you very much for joining us | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
this evening. The work of one Cornish charity. A | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
grade one listed church in Devon has had special solar slates fitted to | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
its roof in order to generate renewable energy. It had an | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
application for ordinary solar panels turned down because they | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
looked to modern, but the vicar said the new slate enabled the look of | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
the 19th—century building to be preserved. And the sun shone on | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
Dartmoor today for the famous Widdicombe fair. The Dartmoor | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
village is packed with thousands of visitors later for the popular | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
country show. The event, which is always held on the second Tuesday of | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
September, is believed to date all the way back to the early 19th | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
century. Organisers said they expected it to be a bumper year for | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
visitors. It has been reported in the past | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
that pets can behave like their owners. A duck has followed his | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
master's lead and started sipping beer, and if you thought that was a | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
story only told in the pub, judge for yourself. | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
A duck walks into a bar and orders a pint. Obviously. Starr is a regular | :22:57. | :23:08. | |
at this hostelry in Cholmondeley. His owner discovered his liking for | :23:08. | :23:21. | |
beer by accident. —— Chumleigh. Next thing I knew, I heard a lot of | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
slurping, and he was helping himself. The RSPCA doesn't recommend | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
giving a duck beer, but says it is unlikely to pursue the owner if the | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
duck is happy. The landlord says he certainly seems content. He is just | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
like a pet dog. He just wanders around the place. He is quite | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
content in my company, because I serve his beer, I suppose! The duck | :23:47. | :23:55. | |
and his owner go busking and collect money for children's hospices. They | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
have a book coming out soon, although strangely, the dog doesn't | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
tweet. And as far as we know, he hasn't yet tried skateboarding. And | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
now I have met the duck who drinks in the pub, my reporting career is | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
complete! You can put it on his bill. | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
He doesn't tweet. I love it! From one duck to nice weather for ducks, | :24:19. | :24:31. | |
because the rain is on the way. That is the new name for a social | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
media site, quack quack. It has been quite a nice day, and | :24:35. | :24:47. | |
tomorrow has a reasonable start, but as Rebecca mentioned, it will cloud | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
over, and by the end of the day, most of us will have had some rain. | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
There are couple of weather systems out to the west of us, thicker cloud | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
across the eastern side of England. We have a ridge of high pressure for | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
overnight tonight. Whilst there is a lot of cloud now, later tonight, it | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
will turn quite chilly. The weather systems will be around again as we | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
move into Thursday. Various that satellite picture, and a little more | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
in the way of detail. In the last few hours, a little more cloud has | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
developed. This was the scene earlier today in Plymouth, fine | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
weather but chilly in a keen breeze. But some good visibility, blue skies | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
and sunshine for most of us. With this amount of clear sky overnight | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
tonight, it will turn quite cold. Still quite a lot of cloud around | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
for the more western parts of Cornwall. Further east, East Devon | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
and into Somerset and Dorset, with a lot of clear sky, it is going to | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
turn quite chilly. We could get as low as five or six overnight | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
tonight. Further west, in contrast to that, a fair amount of cloud, 13 | :26:05. | :26:14. | |
or 14 for almost all. Tomorrow, a good start with some sunshine, | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
patchy cloud, and then the cloud generally thickens throughout the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
day. Come the end of the afternoon, it turns out to be quite wet. Not | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
quite as windy as today, and temperatures similar sort of | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
figures. The forecast for the Isles of Scilly, briefly some brightness | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
in the morning, but it doesn't last. Times of high water: | :26:37. | :26:52. | |
Let's look at the forecast as we head towards the weekend. Not a | :26:52. | :27:11. | |
great deal of brightness, it has to be said. Perhaps briefly some | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
brighter spells before we return for some patchy rain in the evening. | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
Similar conditions on Saturday, and Sunday into Monday, it becomes quite | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
windy again and also turns quite a bit cooler. There is certainly ought | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
the forecast. —— and or Tom nor forecast. | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
We are off to take our pets out for a drink! Have a lovely evening. | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:44. |
