more than 9%. That is all from the BBC

:00:00.:00:11.

Teachers across the south`west join the walk`out over pay, pensions and

:00:12.:00:17.

workloads. Good evening. Thousands of pupils

:00:18.:00:20.

across the region were forced to stay at home today. Teachers claim

:00:21.:00:29.

the action was a last resort. The changes in pension, the changes in

:00:30.:00:33.

working conditions and pay, I haven't had a realistic pay rise the

:00:34.:00:41.

fourth five years now. `` for four or five years.

:00:42.:00:45.

Also tonight: Devon and Cornwall Police lagging behind.

:00:46.:00:48.

The force is set to miss a key performance target to reduce crime.

:00:49.:00:51.

And a major setback for Plymouth's new incinerator delights

:00:52.:00:53.

campaigners. Thousands of teachers across the

:00:54.:00:56.

south`west have been taking part in strike action today. Members of the

:00:57.:01:00.

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

:01:01.:01:04.

pensions and working conditions. Hundreds of schools have been closed

:01:05.:01:07.

causing problems for some parents. In Cornwall, 107 schools were closed

:01:08.:01:11.

or partially closed. In Devon, 114 schools were affected. In Somerset,

:01:12.:01:17.

88. 15 schools were shut in Dorset. Scott Bingham reports.

:01:18.:01:27.

With more than 50 schools across the city closed, it's little wonder this

:01:28.:01:30.

Plymouth play centre is busier than it would be. We've got to get extra

:01:31.:01:37.

staff in for the busyness and the strike. There's older children here

:01:38.:01:43.

than what we usually get. Many parents had to take time off work to

:01:44.:01:47.

look after their children with no classes to attend. Maureen and

:01:48.:01:51.

Victor have stepped in look after their granddaughters. Their school

:01:52.:01:59.

was closed for the day due to the teachers strike. So we've stood in

:02:00.:02:03.

because mum is at work and so is daddy. So we've taken over the

:02:04.:02:15.

childcare for the day. The short notice of the strike action does

:02:16.:02:20.

cause problems. While there is some sympathy out there for striking

:02:21.:02:23.

teachers, those at this rally in Plymouth were keen to explain the

:02:24.:02:27.

reasons for the industrial action. We have not rushed into taking

:02:28.:02:32.

industrial action. This has been going on since January in the case

:02:33.:02:36.

of pay. And pensions has been going on for more than two years. The

:02:37.:02:42.

government is not listening to us. The changes in pension, working

:02:43.:02:47.

conditions, and paved. I haven't had a realistic pay rise for four or

:02:48.:02:53.

five years. The younger teachers this is going to hit the most, so

:02:54.:02:57.

what is going to happen to our children when the sort of children

:02:58.:03:01.

`` teachers that are coming and are not the sort of standard we

:03:02.:03:05.

require. David laws today said the strike was bad for parents and bad

:03:06.:03:10.

for pupils. I know it's difficult to teachers that we are having to

:03:11.:03:14.

reform pensions and control public sector pay but this is something

:03:15.:03:17.

that is happening to everybody working in the public sector at the

:03:18.:03:21.

moment in order to get the public finances back under control. But

:03:22.:03:25.

every school has been closed. Dartmouth Academy was partially

:03:26.:03:28.

closed along with the many hundreds of other schools across the

:03:29.:03:32.

south`west, they will all fully reopen as normal service resumes

:03:33.:03:34.

tomorrow. Devon and Cornwall Police are

:03:35.:03:37.

lagging behind the rest of the region, and England as a whole, in

:03:38.:03:41.

tackling crime. New figures released today show that recorded crime fell

:03:42.:03:44.

by 8% across the country in the 12 months to June 2013. The Avon and

:03:45.:03:49.

Somerset force saw a drop of 13%. Crime fell by 9% in Dorset, in Devon

:03:50.:03:55.

and Cornwall the figure was 7%. In addition, the force says it's likely

:03:56.:04:04.

to miss a key performance target. Our home affairs correspondent

:04:05.:04:08.

reports. This is a much loved beauty spot.

:04:09.:04:13.

When Andrews saw a man dumping rubbish year, he took the car's

:04:14.:04:17.

registration and reported it to the police but he says they took no

:04:18.:04:21.

action until he threatened to write to the chief constable. He thinks

:04:22.:04:26.

the police are overstretched but is unsurprising don't meet their

:04:27.:04:32.

targets. I am disappointed. And whatever is the reason, they need to

:04:33.:04:36.

sort it out and put it right because this is an essential and vital part

:04:37.:04:43.

of our communal life together. Devon and Cornwall Police set a target of

:04:44.:04:46.

reducing the overall number of crimes in the two counties by 2% in

:04:47.:04:51.

the year to the end of next March and they say they are not confident

:04:52.:04:54.

that we'll be achieved. The reasons they say are largely due to an

:04:55.:05:00.

increase in offences in the summer and more reporting of crime. It is

:05:01.:05:05.

disappointing. My members are working hard and insurers how much

:05:06.:05:09.

pressure they are in on the front line. We've had a reduction of 400

:05:10.:05:13.

police officers over the last two years which is starting to tell. I'm

:05:14.:05:17.

holding the chief constable to account to reclaim his target of `2%

:05:18.:05:23.

overall crime by the end of the year. And looking at him and

:05:24.:05:31.

insisting that we develop more efficiency out of this forced to

:05:32.:05:34.

deliver reduction in crime across the board. Devon and Cornwall

:05:35.:05:38.

Police's position in the league table of forces has been slipping as

:05:39.:05:43.

well. It has had to cut more than 400 officers because of budget

:05:44.:05:47.

reductions. One feature of this story is the keenness of the Police

:05:48.:05:50.

and Crime Commissioner to try to demonstrate he is holding the Devon

:05:51.:05:55.

and Cornwall force to account. That is an important part of his job and

:05:56.:05:59.

suggest the feeling that he hasn't been demonstrating at robust early

:06:00.:06:06.

enough. Earlier, I spoke to David Zinzan,

:06:07.:06:09.

the Deputy Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police. I started by

:06:10.:06:12.

asking him about the force failing to hit its key target to reduce

:06:13.:06:21.

crime by 2%. There are two sets of statistics out today. The Office for

:06:22.:06:23.

National Statistics figures go up to the end of June which show a 6%

:06:24.:06:28.

reduction in total crime, but we had a very busy summer and we've

:06:29.:06:32.

released our own statistics which show a 4% reduction. So we are still

:06:33.:06:37.

in reduction for total crime. I don't have a crystal ball and I

:06:38.:06:40.

don't know what it's going to look like in March. There is some areas

:06:41.:06:47.

with increased crime and others with drops. You're kind of blaming the

:06:48.:06:51.

summer but the summer happens every year so why aren't you better

:06:52.:06:54.

prepared? That's not the case at all. Every summer there is an

:06:55.:06:58.

increase in crime and last year was a low increase because of the

:06:59.:07:03.

weather, and because of the weather this year, we've had a large number

:07:04.:07:08.

of visitors and with that comes the potential for crime increase. The

:07:09.:07:11.

crime goes up in summer and down in winter. So we expect a drop to take

:07:12.:07:16.

us through to March. You've slipped in the performance league table as

:07:17.:07:20.

well. The chief constable said he wanted to make Devon and Cornwall

:07:21.:07:23.

the safest place to live in England. You are now 12 unlikely to go

:07:24.:07:30.

further. I disagree. We are currently ranked 12th out of 43. We

:07:31.:07:36.

are not complacent. We have a very ambitious target. There are other

:07:37.:07:42.

forces doing better than us in some areas but some crimes have gone down

:07:43.:07:49.

spectacularly, burglary ten `` 14%. Robbery 12%. Some spectacular

:07:50.:07:54.

reductions. More people are reporting crime, which is a good

:07:55.:07:57.

thing, but have you got the resources to deal with that? Yes, we

:07:58.:08:03.

have had ?47 million worth of cuts which has been very difficult, and

:08:04.:08:10.

400 police officers and 414 police staff less. We are responding

:08:11.:08:14.

magnificently but we are finding it difficult. But we are doing our best

:08:15.:08:18.

and we are looking at how we deliver our services, looking at new ways of

:08:19.:08:22.

doing that, looking at innovative ways of doing our jobs but it is

:08:23.:08:26.

difficult. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.

:08:27.:08:31.

Well, as we heard there, Devon and Cornwall Police, like many other

:08:32.:08:33.

forces, has faced cuts in police numbers. But some areas in the

:08:34.:08:37.

south`west are beginning to take on new constables again. Dorset has

:08:38.:08:39.

just announced a recruitment drive, following Avon and Somerset's lead.

:08:40.:08:42.

But the police still face significant financial pressures, so

:08:43.:08:46.

how are they able to take on new officers? Our Dorset reporter Simon

:08:47.:08:53.

Clemison has been finding out. In 2009, Dorset froze and so, too,

:08:54.:08:59.

did police recruitment. The force is still facing harsh economic

:09:00.:09:02.

conditions but after four years, there is some thought. There have

:09:03.:09:07.

been announcements to take on new constables from outside. That gets a

:09:08.:09:11.

warm welcome from this father who wants to join the police, and

:09:12.:09:15.

couldn't. He is worried about changing rates of pay. It would be

:09:16.:09:20.

nice to work for those, but we will see what the conditions of pay will

:09:21.:09:26.

be. Because it is changing. And you never know whether it will go down

:09:27.:09:30.

or up. The partial melting of the recruitment freeze is significant

:09:31.:09:34.

because Dorset still has to make a million pounds worth of cuts to its

:09:35.:09:38.

budget. It has shed ?14 million, which has led to the lost of about

:09:39.:09:44.

500 jobs, but at least 500 `` 24 new recruits could join. It would be

:09:45.:09:50.

good to give more people an opportunity to join, but we need to

:09:51.:09:54.

recognise this is a small recruitment against an overall

:09:55.:09:58.

picture of a substantial reduction. Why take on some more staff went

:09:59.:10:02.

finances are tough? If they don't, the workforce is simply ages. There

:10:03.:10:07.

are a lot of people leaving the police. They have to looking at

:10:08.:10:12.

bringing in new blood at some time. Now is as good a time as any. There

:10:13.:10:17.

are still cuts to come and police forces don't know their funding

:10:18.:10:21.

beyond 2016, so this could be seen as a risk because it adds to the

:10:22.:10:26.

cost, not reduces it. It's a small number of officers in the boost to

:10:27.:10:35.

morale might be worth every penny. `` and the boost to morale.

:10:36.:10:39.

There's been another setback for the badger cull which many farmers in

:10:40.:10:42.

the region had hoped would help tackle TB in cattle. The number of

:10:43.:10:46.

badgers culled in the Gloucestershire trail area has

:10:47.:10:49.

fallen far short of the figure the government says is needed. Only 30%

:10:50.:10:52.

were killed during the six week cull. The target was 70% Our

:10:53.:10:55.

Political Editor Martyn Oates is with me.

:10:56.:10:57.

The Somerset trial also failed to meet its target. How much the

:10:58.:11:00.

setback of these figures? Arguably the most embarrassing it. These two

:11:01.:11:05.

pilot Coles had to be postponed for 12 months because they didn't know

:11:06.:11:08.

how many badges there were in each area. Last week, it emerged only 60%

:11:09.:11:17.

against the 70% had been culled. In Gloucestershire, it's been much less

:11:18.:11:21.

successful. How important is this? Well, the government has insisted

:11:22.:11:27.

all along this 70% mortality rate in each zone was essential to achieve a

:11:28.:11:34.

modest impact on TB in cattle. With the other side of the coin being if

:11:35.:11:38.

you kill too many, your break social groups, and they will spread further

:11:39.:11:45.

afield, causing more TB in cattle. So after these results, what sorts

:11:46.:11:49.

of political reactions have there been? Having insisted all along

:11:50.:11:54.

they've got every detail right, the government is saying they are

:11:55.:11:57.

learning as they go along, and they say the culled time might have to be

:11:58.:12:06.

longer. `` the cull might have to take longer. Thank you.

:12:07.:12:09.

The police are investigating after the bodies of six mute swans were

:12:10.:12:13.

found on of banks of Restronguet Creek in Cornwall. The police say

:12:14.:12:16.

they had been beheaded and their injuries couldn't have been caused

:12:17.:12:19.

by a wild animal. They believe they were killed intentionally and

:12:20.:12:22.

illegally. Swans are a protected species and the police are asking

:12:23.:12:25.

anyone with information to contact them 11 Nobel Peace Prize winners,

:12:26.:12:27.

including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, have called on the Russian president

:12:28.:12:31.

to drop piracy charges against three Greenpeace detainees from Devon.

:12:32.:12:35.

Alexandra Harris, Iain Rogers and Kieron Bryan are among 30 people who

:12:36.:12:39.

were arrested following a protest at an offshore drilling platform. The

:12:40.:12:45.

letter to Vladimir Putin says charges against them should be

:12:46.:12:49.

dropped. The government has confirmed that

:12:50.:12:52.

two of the region's coastguard stations will close next year. The

:12:53.:12:55.

Maritime and Coastguard Agency will shut Portland in September 2014.

:12:56.:13:01.

Brixham will close two months later. MPs have raised concerns about the

:13:02.:13:05.

move. The government insists it will modernise the service.

:13:06.:13:08.

The Independent television production company TwoFour, which is

:13:09.:13:11.

based in Plymouth, is merging with the Welsh group, Boom Pictures.

:13:12.:13:15.

Senior executives based at Estover are taking key roles in the enlarged

:13:16.:13:21.

company. TwoFour has made its name producing programmes such as the

:13:22.:13:23.

Fixer, with the famous hotelier Alex Polizzi.

:13:24.:13:30.

The company which will run Plymouth's new energy`from`waste

:13:31.:13:33.

plant has suffered a major setback. It's been told that it can't send

:13:34.:13:37.

ash from the incinerator to a quarry at Buckfastleigh for recycling and

:13:38.:13:40.

it now has to decide if it will appeal against the decision. Local

:13:41.:13:44.

people say they're delighted by the news. Our Environment Correspondent

:13:45.:13:54.

Adrian Campbell reports. Buckfastleigh seem to be in a

:13:55.:14:00.

jubilant mood today. Local people were celebrating the decision by the

:14:01.:14:03.

Planning Inspectorate which appears to support their arguments against

:14:04.:14:09.

the use of the local quarry as a recycling centre for waste ash from

:14:10.:14:11.

the new incinerator still being built in Plymouth. I am so thrilled

:14:12.:14:16.

with this outcome. Having spent a lot of time having listens to all of

:14:17.:14:27.

the enquiry, and at the same time listening to the schoolchildren the

:14:28.:14:33.

road `` across the road playing, that is what it's about. Protecting

:14:34.:14:37.

their future here and the community. It's fantastic. I am overwhelmed, I

:14:38.:14:44.

don't know what to say. Julia rang me up first thing and said, "are you

:14:45.:14:54.

sitting down? " and it's very difficult to believe. The first

:14:55.:14:58.

sentences I'd dismissed the appeal, so it is real! The new energy from

:14:59.:15:04.

waste plant were are still under construction will take waste from

:15:05.:15:07.

Plymouth and some other parts of Devon. After incineration, there

:15:08.:15:11.

will be lorry loads of ash which will have to be taken away from the

:15:12.:15:16.

energy from waste plant. Tens of thousands of tonnes of bottom ash a

:15:17.:15:22.

year. If it doesn't go to Buckfastleigh for a cycling, it

:15:23.:15:24.

might have to travel as far as Gloucestershire. MVV Energie,

:15:25.:15:29.

wanting to bring the bottom ash for a cycling here, didn't have anybody

:15:30.:15:33.

for interview, but they told us they were disappointed in reviewing the

:15:34.:15:37.

decision before deciding on a possible challenge. Local

:15:38.:15:40.

environment campaigners say it is time for MVV Energie to give up on

:15:41.:15:47.

the plants for Buckfastleigh. They have to issue a challenge in the

:15:48.:15:53.

next six weeks. My understanding is they wouldn't get that in front of

:15:54.:15:56.

court for another year so I'd imagine they are out of time.

:15:57.:16:00.

Campaigners in Buckfastleigh have celebrated today but they still have

:16:01.:16:03.

to wait and see what MVV Energie does next.

:16:04.:16:09.

In a moment we'll be indulging in a sport of monkeying around.

:16:10.:16:12.

The final send`off for the art project that's being auctioned for

:16:13.:16:16.

charity. And stepping back in time, the

:16:17.:16:19.

school children experiencing a World War Two evacuation.

:16:20.:16:27.

It's getting increasingly difficult for young people to get into farming

:16:28.:16:33.

due to the high costs involved. But a Devon farmer has launched a unique

:16:34.:16:37.

new scheme to help give more of them a step on the ladder, and it

:16:38.:16:40.

involves giving each of them 100 sheep. Anna Varle has the details.

:16:41.:16:49.

It has been two months since Johnny got the start he needed. These 150

:16:50.:16:54.

sheep would have cost up to ?15,000 to buy, money he didn't have. Due to

:16:55.:17:00.

being so young, I don't have special credits with the bank, I don't have

:17:01.:17:04.

any reputation with them, so it would be very hard for me to get a

:17:05.:17:09.

loan. This scheme helps a lot. It saves me that massive cost. This

:17:10.:17:13.

idea is the brainchild of this man. The dealers young farmers read with

:17:14.:17:20.

his ewes, then they give the scheme back 200 lambs and the rest of the

:17:21.:17:25.

sheep they can keep for themselves. Once we get to 1000 sheep, we will

:17:26.:17:34.

be getting back 500 ewe s, so we can take this scheme forward, as a

:17:35.:17:39.

scheme that can be nationally recognised, with people coming in

:17:40.:17:44.

without having capital. It's not just the cost of livestock which

:17:45.:17:48.

prevents many young people entering the industry. The high price of land

:17:49.:17:53.

and feed cost is also a factor. Experts say there is a shortage of

:17:54.:17:56.

new recruits with the average age of a farmer now 58 and with challengers

:17:57.:18:02.

of food security and climate change, a report by the Royal Agricultural

:18:03.:18:06.

Society of England estimates 60,000 new entrants are needed over the

:18:07.:18:12.

next decade. A dish consumers tell as they want British produced food,

:18:13.:18:16.

so we need schemes, any schemes that will in courage people and get over

:18:17.:18:23.

the start`up costs. Mike hopes that by using a new breed of sheep which

:18:24.:18:28.

is largely self`sufficient, it will soon expand to operate on a

:18:29.:18:31.

nationwide basis. Now, if you've been anywhere in

:18:32.:18:34.

South Devon over the summer, you might have seen some brightly

:18:35.:18:36.

coloured silverback gorillas dotted around the landscape. It's been part

:18:37.:18:42.

of an art project around Exeter and Torbay, and now all 30 gorillas have

:18:43.:18:45.

been brought back to Paignton Zoo for a final send`off before being

:18:46.:18:48.

auctioned for charity. Our South Devon reporter John Ayres has been

:18:49.:18:56.

to see them all on parade. They range from the bright and

:18:57.:19:00.

colourful to the weird and famous. These gorillas have been painted by

:19:01.:19:05.

a number of artists all in their own different styles. They going to

:19:06.:19:08.

disappear soon, though. They will be auctioned to raise money for gorilla

:19:09.:19:13.

conservation. For some of the staff involved, it's a homecoming. Every

:19:14.:19:17.

one of these gorillas, I know their names, who made them, why they were

:19:18.:19:21.

made, and where they spent the summer. And to think they will be

:19:22.:19:27.

disbursed and sold off, it is a bit emotional because we've invested so

:19:28.:19:30.

much effort into this and given so much, it's going to be hard to see

:19:31.:19:36.

them go their separate ways. They were commissioned as part of

:19:37.:19:42.

Paignton zoo's 90th anniversary. The zoo printed 50,000 maps showing

:19:43.:19:45.

where they were. They were gone within a couple of weeks. The

:19:46.:19:48.

gorillas are all back together and it's the last time they will be on

:19:49.:19:53.

view. It's great. We had a great summer looking at all of these

:19:54.:19:57.

gorillas. And you've enjoyed them as well, haven't you? Yes! This is my

:19:58.:20:02.

favourite, this one is my favourite. She's got all different colours

:20:03.:20:07.

she's got mountains and flowers all over her. I really like her. My

:20:08.:20:15.

first favourite one is hanky`panky. Because he looks smart. Due to the

:20:16.:20:21.

teachers strike on school closures, there was an unusually high number

:20:22.:20:24.

of children around today who got the chance to get up close. It is

:20:25.:20:30.

fabulous to stand in the zoo today and see all of these kids coming up.

:20:31.:20:34.

They know the names as well. It's not just us. They know the names,

:20:35.:20:39.

they know where they saw them, so you can tell how well they followed

:20:40.:20:43.

the trail during the summer. The zoo plans to keep one of the gorillas

:20:44.:20:46.

but the rest will be auctioned off on November the 6th.

:20:47.:20:53.

What a fantastic project! What did that little boy like again?

:20:54.:20:58.

I don't know! Something about a holiday...

:20:59.:21:01.

A former holiday camp in Cornwall has today been transformed into a

:21:02.:21:04.

Second World War classroom. 90 school children were evacuated from

:21:05.:21:07.

Plymouth and transferred to Maker Camp near Millbrook to learn about

:21:08.:21:10.

everyday life in the early 1940s during the war. Johnny Rutherford

:21:11.:21:14.

reports on how history came alive for 21st century youngsters from the

:21:15.:21:26.

city. It's not that far from limited Maker

:21:27.:21:33.

Camp, but it seems a world away from these children `` for these

:21:34.:21:39.

children. They visit the countryside of Cornwall as World War II

:21:40.:21:46.

evacuees. The World War II theme is very important in their stage to

:21:47.:21:49.

curriculum, and it is always a popular subject that schools always

:21:50.:21:54.

focus on. They can really get those kids to empathise with what it's

:21:55.:21:58.

like to be a child evacuated. What utter players to take some then

:21:59.:22:03.

here, where kids have been coming on holiday since the 1900. Maker Camp

:22:04.:22:09.

was founded in the 1920s on the instigation of Lady Astor. To get 's

:22:10.:22:13.

it gives to experience the countryside and break away from home

:22:14.:22:17.

or school. Thousands of children from Plymouth, Cornwall, west of and

:22:18.:22:22.

further afield, like this group in 1967, enjoyed a week's field trip.

:22:23.:22:28.

We get more in a week than what we could do it over to them in six

:22:29.:22:31.

months at school. When we came here, it was a weak adventure. I did get

:22:32.:22:40.

homesick. But it was so exciting to us that I enjoyed it thoroughly. And

:22:41.:22:45.

came back two other times after as well. It all stopped in the 80s. 12

:22:46.:22:51.

years ago, a trust was set up so the site could be saved and used by

:22:52.:22:56.

local communities once more. Tens of thousands of e`bill implements know

:22:57.:23:00.

and love this camp and I was told when I came over here I didn't need

:23:01.:23:04.

to sell Maker Camp to the people of Plymouth, I just needed to tell them

:23:05.:23:09.

it was open again. What we want to see is to make connections between

:23:10.:23:12.

the older generations and the new generations. Today the children had

:23:13.:23:24.

workshops around the camp, including drama, reconstructions, and good old

:23:25.:23:26.

singing. And they definitely had smiles on

:23:27.:23:42.

their faces. We had rations. So they wouldn't have had things to eat like

:23:43.:23:47.

we do. It's like an adventure, exploring through history. It was

:23:48.:23:51.

fond farewells for some, but many are staying for a sleepover.

:23:52.:24:00.

Time for the weather now. Some fabulous blue skies and it was very

:24:01.:24:06.

warm. And it stays that way. The little boy said he was talking

:24:07.:24:11.

about hanky`panky on holiday. Trust you to say that!

:24:12.:24:18.

Good evening, we've got some brighter weather through the weekend

:24:19.:24:22.

ahead but I think tomorrow we will have some cloud around, producing

:24:23.:24:26.

some rain every now and again. Perhaps some early rain across

:24:27.:24:30.

Cornwall, brightening briefly for some time before more rain arrives.

:24:31.:24:35.

It stays mild, temperatures stay up at 16 or 17, but it will be a breezy

:24:36.:24:41.

day, too. When you look at why we've got unsettled weather, we've got

:24:42.:24:45.

this great big area of low pressure taking up most of the Atlantic. It

:24:46.:24:49.

will throw us a weather system a long way away from us. That will

:24:50.:24:56.

move towards us tonight, and bring us some rain. The heavier rain is

:24:57.:25:00.

lying to the West of the Isles of Scilly. Through the morning, it

:25:01.:25:06.

moves in. Through the weekend, both days we expect to see some showers,

:25:07.:25:13.

hopefully some sunshine in between the showers. It remains mild and

:25:14.:25:19.

frost free. There have been some sharp showers and there are still

:25:20.:25:23.

some left for this evening. Across Somerset and Dorset, and the main

:25:24.:25:29.

problems here will be mist and fog forming. Some could be quite thick.

:25:30.:25:34.

Contrast that to the cloud and patchy rain coming into West

:25:35.:25:39.

Cornwall with freshening winds. It is a range of overnight

:25:40.:25:47.

temperatures. 10`15. This rain band will move northwards through the

:25:48.:25:52.

day, a few splashes of rain elsewhere, then brightening up with

:25:53.:25:57.

sunny spells before that more persistent rain moves into the early

:25:58.:26:01.

evening. It is breezy, not overly windy. The strongest winds will be

:26:02.:26:05.

in Cornwall, and the temperatures are back up to about 15 or 16. If

:26:06.:26:11.

you get some breaks in the cloud, particularly in the north of Devon,

:26:12.:26:15.

you might see temperatures as high as 17. Still, above average for this

:26:16.:26:21.

time of year. The forecast for the Isles of Scilly is generally cloudy.

:26:22.:26:25.

We will see some patchy rain on and off joining the day, the strongest

:26:26.:26:28.

winds will be across the islands. Times of high water. With the winds

:26:29.:26:39.

from the south`east, we should have some usable surf on the north

:26:40.:26:44.

coast. The weather won't behave in terms of sunshine, but at least the

:26:45.:26:49.

surf will be clean. Rather messy along the south coast because of

:26:50.:26:54.

that breeze. For the coastal waters broadcast, the winds are

:26:55.:26:59.

south`easterly, rain at times with moderate visibility. It is a bit

:27:00.:27:05.

misty cowpats see, too. The forecast for the weekend, pretty

:27:06.:27:09.

straightforward. It stays relatively mild. We will see some showers,

:27:10.:27:13.

difficult to say when they will be. It is breezy, though. Although there

:27:14.:27:19.

will be showers around, there will be sunny spells, too. Monday is very

:27:20.:27:24.

similar. Temperatures around 17 or 18. For the gardeners, no frost in

:27:25.:27:30.

the forecast for the moment. Have a good evening. Thank you.

:27:31.:27:36.

That's all from us. There will be an update at 8pm. Our

:27:37.:27:44.

late news is at 10:25pm. From all of us, good night.

:27:45.:27:46.
