The region's only air link to London undelert as easyJet says it won't be

:00:13.:00:20.

taking off from Newquay to Gatwick. It had been hoped that the company

:00:20.:00:24.

would take over from Flybe but it says the route isn't viable. We will

:00:24.:00:27.

assess the implication for the region's economy. Also tonight a

:00:27.:00:31.

marksman involved in the badger cull claims he was threatened by a

:00:31.:00:35.

protestor with a weapon. The police are investigating the claim, one

:00:35.:00:40.

anti—cull campaigner has told us any protests must be lawful.

:00:40.:00:43.

In this country we should be allowed to protest as long as we do it in a

:00:43.:00:48.

legal and peaceful way. And pay your fare, and play fair. Taxi users

:00:48.:00:53.

being asked to pay up front for their journeys.

:00:53.:00:59.

The region ——s only air link to London looks more at risk than ever

:00:59.:01:03.

after easyJet announced it won't take over the Newquay—Gatwick route.

:01:03.:01:10.

Flybe's abandoning the route, the service could simply disappear.

:01:10.:01:13.

Spotlight's business correspondent reports.

:01:13.:01:18.

It is something the region has taken for granteded for years, the

:01:18.:01:20.

south—west's air link to London as we know it today, is run by Flybe,

:01:21.:01:27.

who go to Gatwick and back three times daily. Flybe's Gatwick landing

:01:27.:01:32.

slots are being taken over by easyJet, who today said they don't

:01:32.:01:36.

want to maintain the service. The future of the region's air link is

:01:36.:01:40.

more in doubt than ever. I am gutted at easyJet's decision. I

:01:40.:01:45.

think this will be a blow to bidses big and small across Cornwall, and

:01:45.:01:49.

to think that just in a few months time that link won't be there any

:01:49.:01:52.

more, I think it will be a shock to businesses and a blow to the

:01:52.:01:56.

economy. Hopes had been high that jet were close to announcing plans

:01:56.:02:00.

for some sort of Newquay—Gatwick service from April. Many in the

:02:00.:02:04.

local business community thought the future of the link was more or less

:02:04.:02:08.

secure. We were certainly given the impression, please don't say

:02:08.:02:11.

anything outspoken, because that will jeopardise the sensitive talks.

:02:11.:02:16.

I know that the talks have got fairly way, a long way down the

:02:16.:02:19.

track. Something must have been nearly right, it is added

:02:19.:02:23.

disappointment when you have been in negotiation for that long, that it

:02:23.:02:26.

hasn't come to fruition in the end. EasyJet told us today in a statement

:02:26.:02:31.

that they carefully and thoroughly examined the commercial viability of

:02:31.:02:34.

offering year round services on the route. Unfortunately, after much

:02:34.:02:39.

consideration, all the evidence Keirly shows there is insufficient

:02:39.:02:45.

demand. —— clearly. So, Flybe will continue on the route

:02:45.:02:49.

until the end of March, and after that, the region's air link to

:02:49.:02:53.

London is currently a blank. But Cornwall Council, which owns the

:02:54.:02:57.

airport certainly isn't giving up. It is talking to other airlines

:02:57.:03:01.

about the route. How confident is it that it will be able to find another

:03:01.:03:07.

operator to keep it going? We are disappointed that easyJet are chosen

:03:07.:03:11.

not to maintain the route operated by Flybe, but we are sure we can

:03:11.:03:16.

bring in another operator to cover those routes, and we are working

:03:16.:03:20.

with other operators as well as central Government. One option is to

:03:20.:03:24.

see if the government will take the unusual step of releasing public

:03:24.:03:28.

funds to subsidise a continuing air link. This might be possible, as it

:03:28.:03:32.

is? The north of Scotland, on the grounds that Cornwall's remote, and

:03:32.:03:35.

the link is vital for economic development.

:03:35.:03:40.

But that is a complicated business. EasyJet themselves already operate

:03:40.:03:43.

some services out of Newquay, including to Southend, and they are

:03:43.:03:47.

planning to expand these. Southend is is a London service of sorts but

:03:47.:03:54.

it is far from the Newquay link that the region has known since the days

:03:54.:04:01.

of Bryman airways. Neil is with me now. If neebgy airport loses

:04:01.:04:06.

Gatwick, it only has two—year round destination, Manchester and the

:04:06.:04:10.

Isles of Scilly. Can the airport survive? There are other scheduled

:04:10.:04:16.

destinations in the summer. Liverpool and Southend. That is it.

:04:16.:04:19.

This is a council owned airport. When we speak to people in Truro

:04:19.:04:25.

they can were quick to question the role of the council It is limited.

:04:25.:04:30.

It won't do anything for Cornwall's tourism or business. If we are

:04:30.:04:34.

subsidising that, it is wrong. Think it would be better if someone

:04:34.:04:39.

else ran it, rather than the council, really. They are building

:04:39.:04:43.

it bigger and bigger but stopping all the flights so I don't see the

:04:43.:04:48.

point of building it bigger. As we heard in the report the council

:04:48.:04:52.

seems determined to turn things round, can it? Possibly p as a cost.

:04:52.:04:58.

Few people in Cornwall will criticise it if it manages to

:04:58.:05:02.

preserve the link into a real London airport. The cost is it costs

:05:02.:05:05.

several million a year for the council to subsidise the airport,

:05:05.:05:09.

that is on top of tens of millions of European money that have gone

:05:09.:05:14.

into the airport to expand it. At the moment, Newquay Airport is

:05:14.:05:17.

looking like a gamble which hasn't paid off.

:05:17.:05:21.

Thank you very much indeed. Next tonight, the police are

:05:21.:05:24.

investigating claims a marksman involved in the controversial badger

:05:24.:05:28.

cull in Somerset was threatened by a group of protestors. The incident is

:05:28.:05:34.

said to have happened on Exmoor near Wheddon co,z off —— Wheddon Cross.

:05:34.:05:42.

The passions aroused by the cull have led to protests, the vast

:05:42.:05:47.

majority, like this, have been peaceful. But now comes a report of

:05:47.:05:52.

criminality. Avon and Somerset police say they

:05:52.:05:56.

are investigating threats against a marksman on Exmoor. This happened

:05:56.:05:59.

about two clock in the morning. The police say the man was surrounded by

:05:59.:06:04.

a group of up to eight protestor, torches were shone into his face and

:06:04.:06:07.

he was threatened, including with a long thin item which may have been a

:06:07.:06:11.

weapon. A badger, which had been shot in the cull, was also taken.

:06:11.:06:17.

At secret world wildlife rescue they look after injured badger, here they

:06:17.:06:22.

oppose the cull peacefully and are critical of any protestors who break

:06:22.:06:27.

the law. I think if people are activists a and they do things that

:06:27.:06:31.

are illegal. They put our feelings at risk. In this country we should

:06:32.:06:35.

be allowed to protest as long as we do it in a legal and peaceful bay. I

:06:35.:06:41.

think once activists get hold of these things they endanger that. We

:06:41.:06:46.

are stopped three, four, five six times a night in our vehicle, you

:06:46.:06:50.

would have to be crackers to be driving round with a gun. So this

:06:50.:06:55.

didn't happen. The gun incident didn't happen. And the threat? If

:06:55.:06:59.

you are by yourself and six people turn up and masked up you might feel

:06:59.:07:04.

threatened, you might run off, you may say to people I felt threatened.

:07:04.:07:09.

Maybe you did. The trial cull is entering its final day, the police

:07:09.:07:12.

say the threats to the marksman happened on the 14th September, near

:07:12.:07:17.

Wheddon Cross, the man was not injured.

:07:17.:07:24.

Avon and Somerset Police asking anyone withes information about the

:07:24.:07:35.

incident call 101. It has been described as a silent

:07:35.:07:41.

killer, round 50 people in the UK die from carbon monoxide poisoning

:07:41.:07:45.

every year. In the pastst months alone, four people in Cornwall have

:07:45.:07:48.

lost their lives. Many others have been made ill. The County's Fire

:07:48.:07:54.

Service is backing calls for detectors to be made compulsory as

:07:54.:07:59.

they are in Scotland where new gas pliernss are fitted.

:07:59.:08:06.

—— appliances. These days Frances relies on central het heating run by

:08:06.:08:11.

electricity, several years she she was lent a portable gas heart. It

:08:11.:08:17.

was her only form of heating. One days she be ban to feel ill. Fluey,

:08:17.:08:24.

a bit shivery, a bit shaky. And this went on a while. I went to the

:08:24.:08:28.

doctor, he said you probably have a virus. How long were you feeling

:08:28.:08:33.

like this how long were you being poisoned? I would think probably

:08:33.:08:39.

months, six weeks, probably, because of course the more shivery I felt,

:08:39.:08:43.

the more I put the heater on, to try and keep warm, and the worse I felt.

:08:43.:08:48.

Frances was in fact being poisoned by her heater, high levels of the

:08:48.:08:53.

gas can kill within hours. In February, an elderly couple and

:08:53.:08:57.

their daughter died from carbon monoxide poisoning in their home

:08:57.:09:00.

near Camborne, in the same month, a woman and her three dogs were found

:09:00.:09:05.

dead at the guest house she ran. Carbon monoxide is produced from

:09:05.:09:12.

basically the incomplete come bussion from fossil fuels. It could

:09:13.:09:17.

be gas appliance, wood burning appliances or oil fired heating. You

:09:17.:09:22.

can't smell it or taste it. It is odourless and without any early

:09:22.:09:25.

warning, then obviously you will never know it is there and it will

:09:25.:09:30.

poison you. This is the device the fire brigade say can save your life.

:09:30.:09:33.

It's a carbon monoxide detector, and when it picks up traces of thes

:09:33.:09:39.

poisonous gas, it emits a high pitched bleep. In Scotland a new law

:09:39.:09:43.

means that people fitting solid fuel or gas appliance also have to

:09:43.:09:48.

install detectors, alongside them. The Fire and Rescue Service in

:09:48.:09:51.

Cornwall say lives could be saved if this law was extended to the whole

:09:51.:09:57.

of the UK. A Royal Marine Tain trainer who

:09:57.:10:01.

admitted three offences of ill—treating new recruits in Devon

:10:01.:10:06.

has been spared a prison sentence. Peter Clark was responsible for

:10:06.:10:10.

instructing marines at the commando training centre. He admitting

:10:10.:10:18.

bullying subordinate, he has been fine £1750 and given a reprimand.

:10:18.:10:24.

Two former director of a currency exchange company which collapse have

:10:24.:10:28.

appeared before Southwark Crown Court. Edward James the ex—mayor of

:10:28.:10:33.

Glastonbury and Peter Benstead have been charged with fraudulent trade,

:10:33.:10:40.

and false accounting. Crown Currency Exchange went bust in 2010. It was

:10:40.:10:45.

adjourned until November 19th. Non—emergency ambulances across the

:10:45.:10:48.

south—west are being run by three different private of ray for, until

:10:48.:10:55.

now an NHS Trust the South West Ambulance Service Hazard held the

:10:55.:11:01.

contract, taking people to and fro hospital appointments. Torbay will

:11:01.:11:04.

run the Patient Transport Service in south Devon.

:11:04.:11:08.

A taxi firm in do society with unpaid fares running into thousands

:11:08.:11:12.

of pounds says it has had enough of passengers who don't pay up. Weyline

:11:12.:11:17.

in Weymouth is taking action by launching a play fair pay your fare

:11:17.:11:25.

campaign. Spotlight's Hamish Marshall report, some will be asked

:11:25.:11:28.

to pay before setting off. Vaughan has been a cabbie for four weeks but

:11:28.:11:33.

he has fallen victim to a growing trend. Known in the trade as bill

:11:33.:11:40.

inging. It was a bit of a shock. I had only been working several days,

:11:40.:11:47.

I had been prewarned, about potential incidents, and when it

:11:47.:11:52.

happens to you, you put in that situation, where you ared to either

:11:52.:11:56.

or, you can approach them and ask for the money or you put it down to

:11:56.:12:03.

experience. Good afternoon Weyline. Vaughan's company has launched a

:12:03.:12:06.

campaign and passengers may be asked to pay before they start their

:12:07.:12:13.

journey. We do follow it up, which etake it seriously, we won't give

:12:13.:12:17.

up, because if they find it too easy, they will do it again, and

:12:17.:12:22.

there are serial offenders out there and each company is getting to

:12:22.:12:27.

gnome. Other cab companies in Weymouth are adopting the scheme

:12:27.:12:31.

too. Taxi drivers tell us all the time it happens to them, so, yeah,

:12:31.:12:37.

when, when you have got like teenagers jumping in a cab at night.

:12:37.:12:42.

Sometimes they don't have any money. Most things you have to pay up

:12:42.:12:46.

front. I wouldn't be offended. Both cab companies and the drivers who

:12:46.:12:50.

are mostly self—employed lose out from non—payers. And people who

:12:50.:12:54.

don't pay their fares are of all ages. The recent fraud act has made

:12:54.:12:58.

it easier to work out whether someone is a non—payer or not.

:12:58.:13:02.

Police are reminding those who don't pay their farers, that is it is not

:13:02.:13:07.

only a criminal offence, be you could be arrested for it. Vaughan

:13:07.:13:11.

used the CCTV in his cab and internet to track down his fare

:13:11.:13:14.

dodger and got him to pay up, rather than go to court.

:13:14.:13:21.

It has been dubbed the Tesco tax, a new levy that councils can impose on

:13:21.:13:26.

supermarkets and big retailer, the aim of the levy is to raise money

:13:26.:13:29.

that can be ploughed back into helping the local economy. It has

:13:29.:13:32.

been welcomed by small business, who see it a a way of helping them

:13:32.:13:37.

compete. North Devon council is the latest to consider introducing it.

:13:37.:13:45.

Feeling the heat, but not from the ovens. Some independent traders

:13:45.:13:49.

here, say they are worried about the dominance of the supermarket chains.

:13:49.:13:53.

Unfortunately it is not very fair on the smaller businesses now, the

:13:53.:13:58.

large supermarkets, with all their buying power, their advertising

:13:58.:14:03.

power, their influence on the general public and free parking it

:14:03.:14:08.

it is making it difficult for town centres. North Devon council, like

:14:08.:14:13.

others, is looking at the idea of a retail levy, on the largest outlets.

:14:13.:14:20.

It could raise over £600,000. These supermarkets, they are surrounding

:14:20.:14:24.

Barnstaple. We are inundated with them, and I think it would be

:14:24.:14:29.

appropriate for a contribution to be made by supermarkets, to help keep

:14:29.:14:34.

the town centre alive. New laws means councils can request

:14:34.:14:39.

the powers from Government to charge the levy but there is a concern what

:14:39.:14:43.

the economic impact could be The worry is large retailers will not

:14:43.:14:47.

locate in this area, that is not good for business generally and pun

:14:47.:14:53.

prices. The town centre opinions on the principle of a levy are mixed.

:14:53.:14:57.

As a opper I understand that the high street is suffering hugely,

:14:57.:15:02.

because of the supermarkets that are, there is so many of them, so I

:15:02.:15:06.

do have an understanding of that, but I am not sure how I feel about

:15:06.:15:11.

taxing them that much. That seems a lot. The supermarket also do fine,

:15:11.:15:16.

the big companies will do fine, there will always be people willing

:15:16.:15:20.

to shop there. It is the small ones that need the support. It is a great

:15:20.:15:26.

idea. I feel divided. One I wouldn't want the food to increase that much

:15:26.:15:29.

more, but secondly, I would like to see the town as it used to be, years

:15:29.:15:34.

ago. I mean, the small businesses are going and it is is not as good

:15:34.:15:38.

now, as it was. Temperature Government is also

:15:38.:15:42.

concerned the levy could lead to price hikes.

:15:42.:15:45.

The British Retail Consortium who represent the supermarkets say

:15:45.:15:51.

retailers already contribute significant amounts of national and

:15:51.:15:56.

local tax. A charity in Cornwall has placed

:15:56.:16:00.

more than 50 life—saving cardiac machines at venues across the Cowen

:16:00.:16:07.

toy. The defib ray lor —— defibrillators are designed to be

:16:07.:16:11.

used by people with little or no training. One has been installed at

:16:11.:16:15.

the Hall for Cornwall. On stage, theatre staff are preparing for a

:16:15.:16:20.

performance of Mansfield Park. In the cafe, the life—saving public

:16:20.:16:25.

access defibrillator has been installed on the wall and a number

:16:25.:16:28.

of staff have been trained to use it.

:16:28.:16:31.

We are in the middle of Truro, we are open day an night, and it is

:16:31.:16:35.

important to understand that this is for anybody to use, anybody in need

:16:35.:16:38.

of this device can walk in off the street and collect it from us. The

:16:38.:16:43.

machines are designed to be used by anybody and the automated system

:16:44.:16:50.

will talk the userly the what to do. Remove clothing to expose bare skin.

:16:51.:16:56.

If there is a suspected cardiac arrest, pads are applied, and it

:16:56.:17:02.

measures any electrical activity in the heart, if it detects it will not

:17:02.:17:07.

shock even if the button is pressed. People who think they can do any

:17:08.:17:14.

they can't. It must be frightening for somebody who has never

:17:14.:17:17.

approached one before, but it is simple to use. The charity says

:17:17.:17:22.

Cornwall is catching up with cities like Plymouth which already has a

:17:22.:17:26.

large number of public access defibrillator, this one was paid for

:17:26.:17:31.

in part by Truro's Lion's club. Details of each machine are passed

:17:31.:17:35.

to the Ambulance Service, so that 999 operators can tell callers where

:17:35.:17:39.

the nearest one is, the aim is to have 200 of these devices in

:17:39.:17:44.

Cornwall, by next year. And the charity has a whole team of

:17:44.:17:48.

trainer, they have arranged public training sessions at fire stations

:17:48.:17:52.

across Cornwall, and they are going to be working in school, so soon,

:17:52.:17:56.

they hope, there will be a generation of people who do know

:17:56.:18:04.

what to do in an emergency. Some sports news and Exeter City's

:18:04.:18:11.

new Chief Executive says he hopes the club can emulate the success of

:18:11.:18:18.

the rugby club. Guy Wolfenden comes from a cricket background. He will

:18:18.:18:23.

be working to raise revenue and improve the team's success without

:18:23.:18:28.

going into debt The rugby club is in one place and the football club

:18:28.:18:31.

should be in a similar position, I am looking forward to the challenge

:18:31.:18:36.

of being able to help develop the ground and develop the fan base, and

:18:36.:18:40.

work with Paul and the team in developing the best football and the

:18:40.:18:44.

best stadium for the fans to come and enjoy the game here.

:18:44.:18:49.

There is another big test for Yeovil Town. Third place Leicester City

:18:49.:18:53.

come to Huish Park as the Somme set team bid for only their second win

:18:53.:18:58.

of the season. They have been lucky while Leicester are one of the

:18:58.:19:03.

favourites for promotion. BBC some Shetland have full coverage from

:19:03.:19:07.

7.45. The National Trust says it is

:19:07.:19:12.

pulling out of one its of its newest properties in Devon because not

:19:12.:19:16.

enough people are visiting it. High Cross House opened to the public

:19:16.:19:20.

last year. It was one of the first modernist houses in the country but

:19:20.:19:26.

it hasn't proved a hit with the National Trust faithful. High Cross

:19:26.:19:32.

House was designed in 1932 as what modernists describe as a machine for

:19:32.:19:36.

living. Unfortunately it hasn't proved a machine for attracting

:19:36.:19:40.

visitor, it opens last year, but just 21,000 people came to see it,

:19:40.:19:45.

with a similar number this year. We are disappoint at the fact we are

:19:45.:19:50.

closing the house, we opened with a sort of blaze of glory last year, we

:19:51.:19:55.

had a lot of publicity, the visitor numbers have not been as high as we

:19:55.:20:00.

hoped. And so it is not sustainable for us to carry on forwards. High

:20:00.:20:09.

Cross House was designed by William his cars: It was one of the first

:20:09.:20:13.

modernist houses in the country, full of sleek lines and functional

:20:13.:20:18.

furniture. The National Trust says it wanted to take on High Cross

:20:18.:20:22.

House as an experiment, opening it up for the public to view, but also

:20:22.:20:28.

using it as a showcase, for artists to exhibit and sell their work.

:20:28.:20:32.

Unfortunately, it has decided that experiment didn't quite work.

:20:32.:20:37.

High Cross House will be handed back to its owner, the Dartington Hall

:20:37.:20:42.

Trust. We are sad, but my view is it is better to have tried and failed

:20:42.:20:46.

than not to have tried at all. It was an innovative way to use the

:20:46.:20:51.

house. The aim is to keep using it. We will look for add new partner who

:20:51.:20:56.

wants to use the house like this, in an innovative way and hopefully

:20:56.:21:00.

keeps it open to the public as well. Until a new partner is found anyone

:21:00.:21:07.

keen to see this has until the end of the year before it closed.

:21:07.:21:15.

Now, a man who suffered a stroke 17 years ago is the artist behind a

:21:15.:21:20.

unique exhibition at Exeter Cathedral. Mark Ware has put

:21:20.:21:24.

together 900 images of the building to reflect its 900 year history. The

:21:24.:21:30.

film will be accompanied by musicians.

:21:30.:21:39.

A 900 year time line for Exeter Cathedral. The man behind these

:21:39.:21:45.

images says despite a severe stroke 17 years ago, life has changed in

:21:45.:21:52.

some ways for the better. In terms of seeing thing, I think I am in the

:21:52.:21:57.

here and now, like as with most disabilities, when things are

:21:57.:22:01.

painful and I struggle I have to concentrate on walking, on balance,

:22:01.:22:07.

on seeing so I am aware of sound and temperature, and the visual

:22:08.:22:11.

appearance of thing, and that helps with Miss Artwork, because that is

:22:12.:22:15.

one of the most important things with artists to be aware of what is

:22:15.:22:21.

there opposed to rely on your memory. St will to sound will be cop

:22:21.:22:26.

anyed by four musicians is. I think it's a very unusual experience, for

:22:26.:22:32.

people, we don't know how it will pan out, because it is

:22:32.:22:36.

multi—dimensional, think that will be the photography is MiF sent and

:22:36.:22:40.

of course we are seeing things in the Cathedral, which we have never

:22:40.:22:44.

seen before because it is done with tell photo lens, and in three

:22:44.:22:48.

dimensions and we are adding a fourth dimension, which is one of

:22:48.:22:53.

sound, of music from all these different periods. He has managed to

:22:53.:22:58.

capture hidden areas that we never would have had a chance to show off.

:22:58.:23:02.

He has got immersed in the life of the place. He spent time with our

:23:02.:23:07.

stonemason, with our library and archive, a lot of time in the

:23:07.:23:10.

visitor department and he is part of our community and part of the

:23:10.:23:14.

Cathedral story. The project, called 900 Years of

:23:14.:23:19.

Light opens tomorrow evening at 7.30 and runs for three nights.

:23:19.:23:31.

Very powerful images. Lovely music as well. Lovely. It is time for the

:23:31.:23:37.

weather forecast now. David is here. A bit of a wet one. Yes, good

:23:37.:23:42.

evening, it is causing a few problems on the roads as well.

:23:42.:23:46.

Leaves blocking the drains and standing water, some of the faster

:23:46.:23:51.

routes the spray is giving poor visibility. Tomorrow, it is much dry

:23:51.:23:54.

e but we haven't seen the last of the rain. Still misty, and there

:23:54.:23:59.

will be more rain tomorrow evening, tomorrow night, and into Thursday.

:23:59.:24:04.

So, we still have a weather warning valid mostly for Thursday, the rain

:24:05.:24:08.

band we have at the moment will fer out as it moves away through this

:24:08.:24:12.

evening and overnight. Some dry weather, but that warning is valid

:24:12.:24:16.

for Thursday, some of the rain early on Thursday could be torrential,

:24:16.:24:20.

even with the risk of thunder, so tomorrow, we are between weather

:24:20.:24:24.

system, so hopefully a bit brighter, certainly a lot drier than we have

:24:24.:24:27.

seen, but there are great clumps of cloud round the United Kingdom at

:24:27.:24:31.

the moment. The area of low pressure is now close enough to feed in quite

:24:31.:24:36.

a few shower, now, some round this evening there is a first band of

:24:36.:24:40.

rain moves away, then we are between systems for the middle of the day

:24:40.:24:44.

tomorrow, but by Thursday, as the low pressure gets o closer, not only

:24:44.:24:49.

will it be windy, it is likely to be particularly wet, especially on

:24:49.:24:51.

Thursday morning. Here is that rain that we have seen

:24:51.:24:55.

earlier today, it has peeled away from the Isles of Scilly and here a

:24:55.:24:59.

bit of late brightness, but for the rest of us we have that cloud and

:24:59.:25:02.

further showers to come this evening. They will probably continue

:25:02.:25:06.

for the next few hours before finally dies away, and moving

:25:06.:25:11.

northwards through the night. So a bit drier, turning misty, if there

:25:11.:25:15.

is any clear sky it will be filled in with mist and fog and hill fog

:25:15.:25:19.

becoming extensive, a thick layer of cloud low to the ground, right

:25:20.:25:23.

across the south—west, southerly winds, and another mild night too.

:25:24.:25:27.

Overnight temperatures no lower than the between 14 and 16 degrees. That

:25:27.:25:32.

is pretty usual for the month of October, to see night—time

:25:32.:25:37.

temperatures so high. For tomorrow, misty, grey again, briefly some

:25:37.:25:39.

breaks in the cloud, they are most likely in Somerset, the north of

:25:39.:25:43.

Devon, for the rest of us, a lot of cloud and particularly the south

:25:43.:25:47.

coast, that cloud is extensive, that low cloud, misty on the coast and

:25:47.:25:51.

out at sea and some more rain coming back in the end of the afternoon and

:25:51.:25:55.

early evening. Now the rain overnight into the small hours

:25:55.:25:58.

Thursday morning, could be heavy, even with the risk of hail and

:25:58.:26:02.

lightening. There are temperatures. It is mild despite that cloud and

:26:02.:26:06.

despite a keen breeze from the south, we will get to 18, possibly

:26:06.:26:10.

19 degrees again, so another warm day despite all that cloud, and the

:26:10.:26:14.

showers in the forecast. For the Isles of Scilly here, I expect to

:26:14.:26:18.

see bright weather briefly but misty and further wet weather, setting in

:26:18.:26:23.

to the end of the afternoon and into the early evening. Breezy here too.

:26:23.:26:27.

Times of high water, Portland, that is at 5.35 and 17.43.

:26:27.:26:34.

Surf has been small but good today. It is better tomorrow. The north

:26:34.:26:41.

coast will have up to six feet and clean, the wave period is round

:26:41.:26:46.

12—13 second, surfers know that is good news. Slightly more choppy

:26:46.:26:51.

along the south coast with that breeze.

:26:51.:26:51.

Here is the coastal waters forecast. So quite poor visibility, it has

:26:51.:27:08.

been that way all week and it will continue until we start to get a

:27:08.:27:11.

clearance. It comes on Friday, so after that wet day on Thursday,

:27:11.:27:16.

Friday a few showers round, we get a change the wind direction, the wind

:27:16.:27:19.

becomes more westerly, that is cleaner air for us, hopefully better

:27:19.:27:23.

visibility and high pressure comes back for the weekend, so a bit of

:27:23.:27:28.

wet weather but come the weekend the sunshine will be out and it will be

:27:28.:27:33.

dry. Thank you. If you have a look at the Spotlight Facebook page you

:27:33.:27:37.

can see the film looking back over 50 years of Spotlight and we are

:27:37.:27:41.

back with you 6.30 tomorrow. Good night.

:27:41.:27:43.
