Families of the Devon people held in Russia after a Greenpeace protest

:00:17.:00:21.

call for more help from the Foreign Office.

:00:22.:00:27.

Good evening. The families held talks with officials this afternoon

:00:28.:00:30.

and raised concerns about a lack of contact with their loved ones. We

:00:31.:00:34.

have not heard from him for four breaks which we think is

:00:35.:00:36.

unacceptable. We have told the foreign office that.

:00:37.:00:44.

Also tonight: The battle against breast cancer ` we hear from the

:00:45.:00:48.

woman whose moving story has attracted more than 160,000

:00:49.:00:49.

followers online. And have you seen this cat? Minx's

:00:50.:00:52.

owner claims she's been kit`napped. The police are treating her

:00:53.:01:00.

disappearance as theft. The families of three people from

:01:01.:01:04.

Devon who are being held in Russia accused of piracy have been meeting

:01:05.:01:07.

with the Foreign Office. The detainees are part of a crew of 30

:01:08.:01:10.

Greenpeace protestors who were arrested following an incident at an

:01:11.:01:13.

offshore drilling platform. Tonight, the labour MP for Exeter Ben

:01:14.:01:16.

Bradshaw has told us David Cameron needs to get on the phone to

:01:17.:01:20.

Vladimir Putin as a matter of urgency. Our political editor Martyn

:01:21.:01:26.

Oates reports. It all began at this protest for

:01:27.:01:33.

weeks ago organised by Queen Preece `` Greenpeace. 30 members of the

:01:34.:01:37.

crew are being held by the Russian authorities. They include Alex

:01:38.:01:43.

Harris and Ian Rogers, seen here behind bars in court. Also in

:01:44.:01:49.

custody is Kieran Brian, a freelance video journalist who was being

:01:50.:01:53.

employed by Greenpeace. They are accused of piracy, a charge which

:01:54.:01:58.

carries a 15 year prison term. Today there plight was raised in the House

:01:59.:02:05.

of Commons. We need to follow the case extremely closely and that is

:02:06.:02:12.

the `` that is what the Foreign Office is doing. We are seeking

:02:13.:02:19.

daily updates. That is feeble. Seeking updates is in effect doing

:02:20.:02:23.

nothing. I am astonished the Prime Minister has not picked up the phone

:02:24.:02:28.

to Vladimir Putin. He should be making absolutely clear to them in

:02:29.:02:32.

private that their behaviour has been completely unacceptable and if

:02:33.:02:35.

these people are not released soon it will do damage to bilateral

:02:36.:02:41.

relations and Russia's image in the world. Relatives of the detainees

:02:42.:02:47.

had a meeting later in the day with Foreign Office officials. We have

:02:48.:02:52.

not spoken to him for four weeks. It is unacceptable and we have told the

:02:53.:02:56.

Foreign Office. Things like letters were raised quite prominently.

:02:57.:03:03.

People want to hear from their loved ones. It is understandable. In terms

:03:04.:03:11.

of the bigger picture, the Foreign Office are working very hard to make

:03:12.:03:19.

sure that we are being represented. Nobody from the Foreign Office was

:03:20.:03:23.

available for interview. In a statement, they said that it would

:03:24.:03:27.

be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing process and they do not

:03:28.:03:32.

comment publicly on individual consulate cases.

:03:33.:03:41.

The number of people out of work and claiming benefit in the South West

:03:42.:03:44.

fell last month to its lowest September level for five years. But

:03:45.:03:48.

it's still higher than it was before the credit crunch began to bite. The

:03:49.:03:51.

latest national unemployment rate, going by the narrow definition of

:03:52.:03:54.

the claimant count, is 3.2%. In Cornwall, the equivalent figure is

:03:55.:03:58.

down to 2.1%. In Devon, it's down to 1.5%. In Dorset, it's down to 1.3%,

:03:59.:04:01.

the lowest in the region. And in Somerset, it's down to 1.7%. The

:04:02.:04:05.

urban unitary areas here have rates much more like the national one.

:04:06.:04:09.

Plymouth's latest rate is down to 2.9%. And Torbay remains the only

:04:10.:04:14.

area with a rate above the national figure at 3.4%. So, the numbers are

:04:15.:04:17.

moving in the right direction, but important questions remain about

:04:18.:04:20.

wages in the region, as our business correspondent Neil Gallacher

:04:21.:04:30.

reports. This is a story of gradual recovery

:04:31.:04:35.

in the economy across the south`west but also of personal recovery from

:04:36.:04:41.

redundancy for this scaffolder. Spotlight first met him in 2009,

:04:42.:04:45.

shortly after the firm he worked for had gone bankrupt. He was

:04:46.:04:50.

temporarily working for another scaffolder. The last recession, it

:04:51.:04:57.

was bad. My family struggled a little bit. But I have not had any

:04:58.:05:03.

experience of this before. His journey has brought him to the point

:05:04.:05:07.

where he has now his own boss and he is employing eight other people. ``

:05:08.:05:13.

here's now. He says that the local economy bears little resemblance to

:05:14.:05:18.

that of five years ago. It is a lot stronger. We are inundated with

:05:19.:05:22.

work. But you have always got to worry about taking on more people

:05:23.:05:25.

because you do not know what is around the corner. We are working to

:05:26.:05:33.

150% all of the time. Long overdue. Recession is always come to an end.

:05:34.:05:37.

It is very good news. But you have to take it with caution. There has

:05:38.:05:42.

been a lot of poor quality jobs created, part`time, low paid. We

:05:43.:05:48.

have enough of those. This work is certainly not part`time but he

:05:49.:05:52.

admits it is not highly paid. We are not charging as much as we should be

:05:53.:05:56.

charging. We are making enough money to grow as a business. The economy

:05:57.:06:03.

is not out of the woods yet as the current fears about a US debt

:06:04.:06:06.

default demonstrates. For now at least in this corner of West Devon,

:06:07.:06:12.

things are looking a little sunnier.

:06:13.:06:20.

Nearly half the people who are renting in the South West are in bad

:06:21.:06:24.

housing according to Shelter. The charity says there have been more

:06:25.:06:26.

than 13,000 complaints against private landlords in the region in

:06:27.:06:30.

the last four years. It's launching a campaign to get more local

:06:31.:06:33.

councils to take action against rogue landlords. Alison Johns

:06:34.:06:35.

reports. 75`year`old Grace used to live in this rented property in

:06:36.:06:39.

Cornwall. The charity Shelter took these pictures. She complained about

:06:40.:06:44.

the conditions after going to her doctor with chest infections. The

:06:45.:06:51.

bedroom was damp. The walls in the back, off the kitchen, off the

:06:52.:06:57.

second bedroom, they were single block walls, there were big cracks

:06:58.:07:05.

in them. They were black with moles. After she left the property, she had

:07:06.:07:10.

to go to court to get her deposit back. Shelter says thousands of

:07:11.:07:13.

people in the south`west are living in damp, cold the there dangerous

:07:14.:07:18.

properties. In the last four years, there were thousands of complaints

:07:19.:07:20.

about private landlords in Devon. These pictures were not taken at

:07:21.:07:33.

Grace's house but show some of the conditions Shelter has found in

:07:34.:07:37.

privately rented homes across the country. There is damaged demand for

:07:38.:07:40.

privately rented accommodation because there are not enough homes

:07:41.:07:44.

to go around. There is an opportunity for O good fun `` for

:07:45.:07:53.

rogue landlords to take advantage. Sometimes they harass their

:07:54.:07:57.

tenants. This council has already allocated ?100,000 to the department

:07:58.:08:04.

which tackles bad landlords. When you see what a difference that money

:08:05.:08:10.

can make, impact people 's lives, being able to start turning them

:08:11.:08:15.

around and get them into some accommodation that is fit for human

:08:16.:08:21.

habitation. I spoke to a woman in another part of Devon about problems

:08:22.:08:26.

with her former landlord. She wants to keep her identity secret. My

:08:27.:08:33.

clothes went mouldy. Food was going mouldy in containers. My brother had

:08:34.:08:38.

to go into the living room from the bedroom to sleep. My son was in the

:08:39.:08:44.

dining room. My mother and I had to put up with what we had. I was

:08:45.:08:49.

washing walls down with bleach all of the time. We had the fumes from

:08:50.:08:54.

the bleach and the moles as well. Disgraceful. The landlord was

:08:55.:09:00.

ordered to make improvements. Most of the councils in the south`west

:09:01.:09:05.

have already signed up to the campaign by Shelter. Today it is

:09:06.:09:13.

asking the rest to do so. We've already been contacted by one

:09:14.:09:16.

landlord who says that often tenants leave the properties in a terrible

:09:17.:09:20.

state. She says she's spent a fortune on good homes for tenants

:09:21.:09:23.

but has to deal with drugs, fights, constant complaints from neighbours

:09:24.:09:25.

and trashed rooms. If you'd like to get in touch with

:09:26.:09:29.

us, you can do via e`mail. And do remember please to leave us a

:09:30.:09:32.

contact telephone number or e`mail address.

:09:33.:09:37.

Coming up: How the region's schools will be affected by strike action.

:09:38.:09:41.

Plus, one young woman's amazing determination to deal with breast

:09:42.:09:43.

cancer. And we're off in search of some

:09:44.:09:46.

spectacular Autumn colour on Dartmoor.

:09:47.:09:55.

The Information Commissioner has ruled that the Council of the Isles

:09:56.:09:59.

of Scilly breached the Data Protection Act following the

:10:00.:10:04.

suspension of a headmaster. He was suspended from his post at the

:10:05.:10:08.

school in May last year and has strongly protested his innocence.

:10:09.:10:12.

The Information Commissioner says the council acted unfairly in

:10:13.:10:15.

sending three reports to the empty containing private information.

:10:16.:10:24.

Campaigners opposed to a new incinerator which will turn much of

:10:25.:10:27.

Cornwall's waste into energy say they'll carry on fighting even

:10:28.:10:30.

though construction is now well under way. Cornwall Council says

:10:31.:10:34.

it's been losing around ?1 million a month because of delays to the

:10:35.:10:37.

scheme, but the plant should be working from 2016. Our environment

:10:38.:10:39.

correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.

:10:40.:10:42.

Traditionally, this area of Cornwall has been best known for its clay

:10:43.:10:46.

workings. Take a look over year and you will see things changing.

:10:47.:10:50.

Engineers are working on a striking addition to the landscape. This is

:10:51.:10:56.

how it is predicted the new energy from waste plant will look once it

:10:57.:11:00.

is fully operational by May, 2016. At the moment, the diggers are busy

:11:01.:11:06.

excavating a massive hole which can store three or four days of rubbish.

:11:07.:11:11.

The company running it says that the park will generate a lot of energy.

:11:12.:11:16.

It would produce for export, after the energy we have used on the

:11:17.:11:23.

site, almost 70 megawatts of power. What is that in a number of homes?

:11:24.:11:29.

About 20,000 houses which is not insignificant. We have made

:11:30.:11:31.

provision in the design of the facility to provide heat for the

:11:32.:11:39.

clay industry which is very near the site. The side of the construction

:11:40.:11:44.

work has upset local campaigners who fought against it since the planning

:11:45.:11:49.

application for the plant was admitted in 2008. I do not think it

:11:50.:11:53.

is value for money. The council contract, it was completely biased

:11:54.:11:59.

in favour of the contract. It is outrageous that taxpayers have got

:12:00.:12:03.

to foot the bill. It is expected to deal with much of Cornwall's waste

:12:04.:12:10.

for the next 25 years. Sceptics say there are more modern ways to deal

:12:11.:12:19.

with waste other than burning it. One woman's fight against breast

:12:20.:12:22.

cancer has attracted more than 150,000 followers online. Laura

:12:23.:12:25.

Cannon from Salcombe in Devon was just 22 when she was diagnosed last

:12:26.:12:29.

year. This summer she underwent a double mastectomy and a gruelling

:12:30.:12:32.

course of chemotherapy. Laura has been writing about her experience in

:12:33.:12:35.

a blog called Laura Louise and her Naughty Disease. We'll hear from her

:12:36.:12:40.

in a moment. But first, here are some extracts from the blog.

:12:41.:12:45.

February, the 22nd. I told you pigs could fly. A mixture of new tablets

:12:46.:12:52.

and a love for water has improved my chemotherapy experience.

:12:53.:13:02.

Pink lipstick was an absolute must. August the 14th. I saw my plastic

:13:03.:13:10.

surgeon on Monday when he looked at his handiwork, the words ding`dong

:13:11.:13:17.

came out of his mouth. That has got to be good news, right? I have been

:13:18.:13:22.

working out how to rock the very short hair look. It is difficult to

:13:23.:13:26.

feel feminine. I've been talking to Laura who

:13:27.:13:29.

started by telling me about the moment she was diagnosed with breast

:13:30.:13:35.

cancer. The day I found out was pretty tricky. I was pretty numb. I

:13:36.:13:40.

did not really listen to what the doctors said when they gave the

:13:41.:13:44.

original diagnosis and what the action plan was. My main concern was

:13:45.:13:50.

that I did not want to cry because I did not want to worry my mum who was

:13:51.:13:56.

in the same room. I focused my energy on that. Then the blog came

:13:57.:14:02.

about. What started it? My mum suggested it might be a good way for

:14:03.:14:07.

me to write stuff down. It was also good for family and friends because

:14:08.:14:11.

so many people were asking me questions. I did not really have

:14:12.:14:16.

time to tell them all. A good record for them. What difference did it

:14:17.:14:20.

make for you being so open and public about your disease? I don't

:14:21.:14:27.

know. I think it was quite liberating. It was nice to be so

:14:28.:14:32.

honest and have someone tell the story from a positive point of

:14:33.:14:35.

view. I tried to be positive. Obviously, there were times when I

:14:36.:14:40.

maybe wasn't. But I wanted to approach it with that sort of

:14:41.:14:45.

attitude. You tell the story of various difficult stages of treating

:14:46.:14:49.

the disease. The moment your hair was shaved off. There are

:14:50.:14:53.

photographs of that. That must have been particularly difficult. Why did

:14:54.:14:58.

you decide to share something so intimate? Because I wanted to make

:14:59.:15:05.

that moment memorable. I had my hair shaved into different styles, a

:15:06.:15:11.

Mohawk. I wanted to look back and laugh and have some funny things to

:15:12.:15:15.

remember, not just remember it as the really sad day when my hair

:15:16.:15:19.

went. Something as simple as putting the scorer on, you detail in the

:15:20.:15:25.

blog. A lot of women take it for granted. That was quite a

:15:26.:15:30.

milestone. A really nice day, to be able to put mascara on. Something I

:15:31.:15:37.

missed doing. I did not have eyelashes. What feedback have you

:15:38.:15:44.

got? 150,000 people reading it. What feedback you getting? Luckily, only

:15:45.:15:49.

positive. I have had feedback from relatives, people going through

:15:50.:15:53.

similar things, from different cancers, saying, thank you for being

:15:54.:15:58.

positive, thank you for providing something for us to read that is

:15:59.:16:05.

nice rather than depressing. I think... It has been really nice.

:16:06.:16:13.

Where do you go from here? First of all, the treatment. You are on

:16:14.:16:17.

radiotherapy at the moment. Something you were hoping to avoid.

:16:18.:16:22.

Having to have radiotherapy for quite a long time. It should not be

:16:23.:16:28.

too difficult, the doctors tell me. Five weeks. I plan on detailing

:16:29.:16:33.

side`effects and that sort of thing. We wish you well with the treatment.

:16:34.:16:42.

Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Thousands of teachers across the

:16:43.:16:46.

south west are due to take part in strike action tomorrow. Members of

:16:47.:16:49.

teaching unions the NASUWT and the NUT are protesting about pay and

:16:50.:16:52.

pensions. Hundreds of schools across the region are expected to be

:16:53.:16:55.

affected. In Cornwall, 104 schools will be closed or partially closed.

:16:56.:16:58.

In Somerset, the figure is 79. In Plymouth, 52 schools will be

:16:59.:17:02.

affected. In Devon, it's 43. And 19 in Torbay. Dorset were unable to

:17:03.:17:05.

provide us with figures, but the advice is that all parents should

:17:06.:17:08.

check with their child's school. John Henderson reports.

:17:09.:17:19.

On the eve of a teachers' like, a rally in Totnes. For many taking

:17:20.:17:23.

part in the industrial action, there is a pity for parents and anger

:17:24.:17:28.

towards the government. It is the second time I have gone on strike in

:17:29.:17:33.

the last 20 years and I do not do it lightly. I believe it is worth

:17:34.:17:37.

campaigning and fighting for it. There is little doubt that a strike

:17:38.:17:42.

by teachers can be highly disruptive. Outside one school this

:17:43.:17:46.

afternoon, parents were making plans. I had to say to my boss, I

:17:47.:17:51.

cannot come in on Thursday. I also tried nursery and they are closed as

:17:52.:17:56.

well. My options were completely stumped. Described annoying because

:17:57.:18:00.

most working parents have got to take days off. `` I think it is

:18:01.:18:07.

quite annoying. I am having to use my daughter's dance studio. We get

:18:08.:18:13.

charged ?60 a time for taking the children out of school. Obviously,

:18:14.:18:20.

are we going to get compensation back?

:18:21.:18:25.

The government has defended its plans to reform pay structures, but

:18:26.:18:33.

unions say it is not just about pay. We are taking the action with

:18:34.:18:38.

great regret. Unfortunately, if we do not stand up on this time, we may

:18:39.:18:47.

not get the chance again. Education could be irrevocably changed

:18:48.:18:54.

forever. Parents are left picking up the pieces when the schools close.

:18:55.:18:58.

A special live page will feature on Devon and Cornwall's BBC websites

:18:59.:19:01.

with the latest developments, reaction and comment on the strike

:19:02.:19:15.

across England. A man from Cornwall is appealing for

:19:16.:19:19.

help after he says his cat was kidnapped. The cat, Minx,

:19:20.:19:21.

disappeared last month from her home in Lostwithial.

:19:22.:19:24.

But then several weeks later, letters were sent saying the cat had

:19:25.:19:28.

been taken away so she could start a new life in the country. The police

:19:29.:19:32.

are treating the case as theft. Eleanor Parkinson reports. New ``

:19:33.:19:41.

this man spent months looking for his cat, Minx. She was only just

:19:42.:19:47.

recovering from an operation and he feared she had been run over. A

:19:48.:19:51.

series of letters revealed that she had been taken to a new home. A

:19:52.:19:59.

letter was received by the shop, purporting to be written by the cat.

:20:00.:20:04.

It was saying that she had met these people and they lived in the

:20:05.:20:07.

countryside and the cat wanted to go and live with them in the

:20:08.:20:12.

countryside. Later it goes on to say that I am missing you all,

:20:13.:20:16.

especially my dad, please let him know I am OK. Minx is very

:20:17.:20:23.

well`known in the town. Spent time in shops and she would accompany her

:20:24.:20:30.

owner to the local to sit on a bar stool. People in the town say she

:20:31.:20:34.

should be returned. Always here in the street or in the doorway of the

:20:35.:20:41.

social club. She used to follow her owner in and sit on the bar stool.

:20:42.:20:45.

When he came out, she would come and sit by the side of him. She followed

:20:46.:20:51.

him back home again. I have been putting posters up. Nigel is hoping

:20:52.:20:58.

his poster campaign will help in his quest to get her back. Police are

:20:59.:21:01.

treating it as theft. Understandably, the owner is upset

:21:02.:21:05.

and they ask anyone with any information to contact them.

:21:06.:21:16.

Although many of us are sad to see the end of summer, autumn does bring

:21:17.:21:19.

its own seasonal rewards, particularly as the leaves start to

:21:20.:21:21.

change colour. Apparently, we could be set for a

:21:22.:21:24.

dazzling display this year. Emily Wood has been to a garden on the

:21:25.:21:28.

edge of Dartmoor to find out more. Today has been a typical mix of

:21:29.:21:31.

autumn weather was. Thankfully, the sun did come out in time for my

:21:32.:21:37.

visit to the garden to meet up with the head gardener and to find out

:21:38.:21:40.

why we get the change of colours that this time of year. As autumn

:21:41.:21:43.

approaches and the temperatures change, the chlorophyll stops going

:21:44.:21:49.

out to the leaves and they become less green. The other chemicals

:21:50.:21:53.

stored in the leaves which are in the reds and yellows spectrum become

:21:54.:21:57.

more visible. For best autumn colour, you needed to be dry and

:21:58.:22:04.

sunny and dry and cool at night. Apparently, these trees will

:22:05.:22:12.

guarantee a range of autumnal colour. They are displaying the

:22:13.:22:18.

spectrum you would expect, green, read, purple, bronze. Other species

:22:19.:22:27.

of trees express other colours. Strong yellows, strong reds. This is

:22:28.:22:36.

a pinky orange. As well as a good range of colours, there has been a

:22:37.:22:39.

bumper crop foremost through fruit trees as well `` bumper crops for

:22:40.:22:49.

most fruit trees. This is covered in fruit. Still quite green. This is

:22:50.:22:55.

one of the latest things to turn. It will go bright yellow in a couple of

:22:56.:23:00.

weeks. Heading properly into autumn and over the next few weeks we will

:23:01.:23:06.

be seeing spectacular colours in the region's Gardens and hopefully

:23:07.:23:09.

having some fine weather to go out and see them.

:23:10.:23:15.

I do love the colours that this time of year. You can see that report on

:23:16.:23:21.

the Facebook page again if you want to. Let as see what the weather has

:23:22.:23:25.

in store. The weather is going to remain

:23:26.:23:35.

reasonably kind to us tonight and tomorrow. A bit of a change on

:23:36.:23:40.

Friday. Tomorrow, breezy, the risk of a few showers. Equally, plenty of

:23:41.:23:46.

sunshine to enjoy. The main area of rain, the great thick line of cloud

:23:47.:23:50.

has moved away from us this afternoon. Clear skies further out

:23:51.:23:53.

to the west bringing us a fair amount of clear skies tonight. This

:23:54.:23:59.

lump of cloud may come through the Bristol Channel overnight. A line of

:24:00.:24:02.

showers will cross us. Tomorrow, even though it does not appear

:24:03.:24:06.

straightaway, there is a weak ridge of high pressure over southern

:24:07.:24:10.

Britain are keeping us effectively mainly dry. It will change by

:24:11.:24:15.

Friday. Friday, several weather systems queueing up to bring us

:24:16.:24:20.

rain. This area of low pressure is taking up much of the North

:24:21.:24:22.

Atlantic. Staying on settled into the weekend. There is the picture

:24:23.:24:27.

from earlier. You can see how quickly the rain moved out of the

:24:28.:24:31.

way. For a large part of the afternoon, some of us had almost

:24:32.:24:35.

unbroken sunshine. Showers around now which will pep up overnight.

:24:36.:24:39.

Drifting into parts of North Cornwall, through the North Somerset

:24:40.:24:42.

coast, the Bristol Channel and along towards the M4. Enough clear skies

:24:43.:24:48.

to give a glimpse of the almost full moon as well as perhaps allowing the

:24:49.:24:52.

temperatures to fall. The only thing that. That is the strength of

:24:53.:24:58.

reason. Quite windy overnight. `` the only thing that will stop that

:24:59.:25:04.

is the strength of breeze. Tomorrow, a fair amount of sunny spells. The

:25:05.:25:08.

risk of a few showers. Fairly isolated. Lengthy spells of sunshine

:25:09.:25:15.

in the afternoon. The breeze continues to drop. It will take time

:25:16.:25:18.

but eventually it will become less windy. The winds will come round to

:25:19.:25:25.

becoming southerly. Temperatures higher than we should expect at the

:25:26.:25:30.

time of year. Make the most of tomorrow. That is the best advice.

:25:31.:25:35.

Quite a big change as we move into Friday. The forecast for the Isles

:25:36.:25:41.

of Scilly, some sunny spells. Small chance of showers. Less windy in the

:25:42.:25:53.

afternoon. Times of high water... If you are heading for the beach to do

:25:54.:25:57.

surfing, I think it is likely to be a bit on the messy side. Find some

:25:58.:26:05.

shelter perhaps and you might get some decent surfing in. The south

:26:06.:26:11.

coast is similar. Rather messy. There is the coastal waters

:26:12.:26:18.

forecast... Winds from the West. Backing around and becoming

:26:19.:26:20.

south`west. Decreasing through the day. Fair but with the risk of

:26:21.:26:25.

showers. Generally very good visibility out at sea. This does not

:26:26.:26:30.

look too promising, does it? Showers to camp and perhaps even more

:26:31.:26:35.

persistent rain. `` showers to come. The temperatures are pretty

:26:36.:26:40.

good. Remaining frost free overnight for the next few nights. But it will

:26:41.:26:45.

stay on settled. Some quite frequent showers on Saturday and Sunday. The

:26:46.:26:49.

heaviest rain is reserved for a large part of Friday. Quite a wet

:26:50.:26:56.

day and windy too. Some sunshine in between the showers on Saturday and

:26:57.:27:00.

Sunday. Staying relatively mild. Have a good evening.

:27:01.:27:05.

Before we go, the BBC has revealed its plans to mark the momentous

:27:06.:27:11.

events of World War I. And the story of the home front is integral to

:27:12.:27:15.

that. Here in the South West, we're asking for your help in telling the

:27:16.:27:19.

many local stories of the first truly global conflict that helped

:27:20.:27:21.

shape today's Britain. So, if you have a World War One

:27:22.:27:25.

story you'd like to share, please do get in touch.

:27:26.:27:37.

Very important story to tell and we would like your help in doing so. We

:27:38.:27:43.

are back at 6:30pm tomorrow. Good night.

:27:44.:28:13.

You ask us to get behind you and why should we?

:28:14.:28:16.

You're punching above your weight, aren't you?

:28:17.:28:18.

He wouldn't do that to me because he wasn't that sort of a man.

:28:19.:28:25.
