The widow who lost her entire family in a crash says the police need to | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
learn lessons from her tragedy. Good evening. The family car was hit | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
by a taxi driver who was thought to be suicidal. In an emotional | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
statement the only survivor says she's lost everything. I loved being | :00:25. | :00:43. | |
her mum, and I loved being a wife. But my hope is that the police | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
service will learn from this study. More on that story in a moment. Also | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
tonight: A reprieve for the region's only airlink. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
The service will now continue until October, but doubt remains over its | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
longer term future. And the Council accused of breaching | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
health and safety laws after the death of a pensioner in Exeter. | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
A woman who lost her husband, son and unborn daughter in an horrific | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
car crash last summer in Torquay has blamed the police service for the | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
way they dealt with the case. Elber Twomey said her wonderful life ended | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
after a suicidal taxi driver deliberately drove into their car | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
while he was being followed by the police. This report by Spotlight's | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Janine Jansen contains flash photography. On the 6th of July last | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
year, the suicidal packs a driver deliberately drove into the car | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
coming from the opposite direction on the 8080 in Turkey. The Polish | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
driver, a 20 sexual, was arrested but died. `` a 26`year`old will stop | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
in the other car was a family. Elber Twomey was the only survivor. She | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
lost her unborn daughter, her son and ten months after the accident, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
her husband also died from his injuries. This policeman was | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
following the driver just before the crash. With a high risk missing | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
person and had to be stopped. The coroner said he carried out his | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
duties in an exemplary fashion and followed police guidelines. But | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Elber Twomey disagrees. I believe that following a speed with flashing | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
lights, Deeside and learning and the hand gestures panicked the driver | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
and caused him to do what he did. I do blame the police service. I am | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
convinced that the police service needs to review their handling of | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
how they deal with a missing person who is known to have left a suicide | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
note. On this occasion police operated entirely in line with | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
nationally agreed procedures and training. This has further been | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
evidenced in the independent report. Was the circumstances of this tragic | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
incident have not identified any issues with our training and | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
procedures be continuously review our response and CDs incidents in | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
order to update our training where appropriate. That has had a | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
devastating impact on the policing community. We join the police to | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
protect and serve the public and the wondrous others' outcome. It was a | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
tragedy that affected the whole wheat station. I loved being a mum, | :03:25. | :03:37. | |
and I loved being a wife. But I hope is that the police service will | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
learn from our horrific story, that they could be appropriate policies | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
and training in place and how to deal with the driver who has | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
expressed an intention to commit suicide. After all, we have all | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
learned that the vehicle can be used as a lethal weapon. Please, God, | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
these can be put in place before in another innocent family has to | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
experience such complete loss, total heartbreak and extreme tragedy. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
Elber Twomey ending that report. A stay of execution has been granted | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
tonight for the south west's only airlink to London. The daily Newquay | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
to Gatwick service was due to stop next spring, but a deal has been | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
done to keep Flybe running a London service until the autumn. However | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
the company has warned that after that the service will need public | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
money if it's to survive. Our business correspondent Neil | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
Gallacher reports. For once, some good news about the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
region's only a link to London. We had been told that Flybe were | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
dropping this route from people, no video port has struck a deal with | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
them to keep them flying until October. It is a stopgap, keeping | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
the link going until it is hoped and expected that government subsidy | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
will be `` will become available. Ten Maxi that it cannot work without | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
subsidy. This is the route that without public subsidy is not | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
sustainable. If you look at Scotland in some parts of Wales, there are | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
public subsidised routes that keep those passengers on the move. I | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
think London and the DFT needs to seriously look at their commitment | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
to be balancing the economy and let's see what they can come up with | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
by October. All eyes on October next year, Cornwall already knows the | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
route is eligible for something the government subsidy, the question is, | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
will it be enough money to pay for a proper site clean in the proper | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
London airport? Does the council accepted his elegant `` it is an | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
anxiety that the subsidy could only be enough to pay for a link to | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
somewhere like Southend? It is, at the moment they have said it as a | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
London airport, not a specific airport, but we believe we have the | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
facts and figures paint Gatwick as being the airport that we want to be | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
will be working with our MPs to make sure we can lobby government to get | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Gatwick as the named airport. Rates now, the main reaction is simple | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
relief that the service will not stop after all this coming spring. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
It is important for us as with hunters for where we are based. Many | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
of our customers come from London and lie on being able to get up and | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
back very, so using an aeroplane is very important. Long`term questions | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
in unanswered but at least there will still be a daily air link to | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
the `` to Gatwick. That is crucial. Neil is in Newquay for us know. Why | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
the change of heart from Flybe that they will carry on until October? | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Cornwall Council's airport has cut them a favourable deal, also there | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
have been some extra landing spot freed up at Gatwick lately and Flybe | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
themselves have had a recent change of management. That may be | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
associated with the change of mind. To Flybe hope to be the company who | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
carry on with the route when the subsidies become available? A black | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
there is no `` there is no doubt that there will be in LA on the | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
subsidies high enough. The building will be given this work without | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
public tender prices. How unusual is this idea of the subsidy? It is | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
really unusual, it is the first thing that the aviation subsidy like | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
this will have been used in England. The already have them on routes such | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
as Shetland into Edinburgh, between Anglesey in Cardiff, but within | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
England it is unheard of. We are talking about several million pounds | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
being given for a period of at least four years. It is like what happens | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
in the real ways. The first time in aviation and that is a recognition | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
of how peripheral Cornwall is at how unusual important air link is to the | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
local college. Exeter City Council was today | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
accused of breaching health and safety laws following the death of a | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
pensioner. 80`year`old Dorothy Stevens drowned while trying to get | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
off the Butts Ferry at Exeter Quay in 2010. Prosecutors say the | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
handrail and steps, where people get on and off the ferry, were unsafe. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
From Exeter Crown Court, Hamish Marshall reports. | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
The ferry has been part of life at Exeter chief for more than three | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
centuries. It carries up to 30,000 people each year but the death of | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
one passenger has left Exeter City Council in court. Dorothy Stevens | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
was 80, she lived at Silverton and suffered from arthritis in her | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
hands, joint and rates me. She walked with a stick and in July 2010 | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
she travelled into Exeter with her daughter and granddaughter. In a | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
statement read to the court, Mrs Stevens's. , Gillian, said that when | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
they arrived they decided not to use the ferry to cross the river because | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
the steps were too steep, but on the way back it started to rain so to | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
save time to use it. Mrs Stevens struggles to admit the steps as she | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
got the ferry, a rocking stick broke and she fell into the river. | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
Mrs Stevens `` where Mrs Stevens, who couldn't swim, drowned, looks | :09:17. | :09:27. | |
very different today. The jury were told that there are | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
two key elements to this case. Firstly the steepness of the steps | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
and also the different heights. And the fact that the fact that he had | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
real but not go to the steps. The prosecution said this was inadequate | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
to deal with the risk of someone falling into the water. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Exeter City Council denies failing to ensure the steps where as safe as | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
reasonably practical. These `` the case continues. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
The latest round of cuts to vital public services in the south west | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
will be examined tonight. Torbay council is holding a public meeting | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
after proposing ?22 million worth of savings. Our home affairs | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
correspondent Simon Hall is at the venue, the bay's Riviera Centre. | :10:03. | :10:14. | |
Torbay is the latest authority in the region to warn of painful | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
spending cuts, to also one of the impact they could have on services. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
And indeed to ask for public help in dealing with them. With events like | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
the meeting tonight. After 27 years of addiction, Terry | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
has finally beaten everyone. He was helped by a local project, but it | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
faces losing all of its funding under the budget cuts. Its future is | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
uncertain. Saved my life, it has saved money. That's the bottom line. | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
If that is what it is coming money, I am living proof that this project | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
has saved this council money. If it is lost, | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
has saved this council money. If it and ruined. It will be a travesty, | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
there will be many more people out there committing crime, more victims | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
of crime. More people in and out of prison in hospital. Torbay Council | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
must save ?22 million over the next two years. That is in addition to | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
?19 million worth of cuts that have already been made. Services which | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
could suffer include support for people with learning difficulties, | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
sheltered housing for older people, libraries, citizens advice bureau | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
is, to listen and road maintenance and organisations fighting drug and | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
alcohol addiction. We can find the money or save the money or save some | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
of these services I am very willing to listen. Very willing to take into | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
account people's views on these issues. That is why we are having | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
this night. It is one of the most difficult decisions this council | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
will ever have to make on the financial side, probably in its | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
history. That is why I want people to be well and truly educated as to | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
why we are doing this. A public consultation into the proposed cuts | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
to the services in Derby is now underway. | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
The Maher told me earlier on that snaked's meeting is an important | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
part of the consultation. It will run for a couple of months. The | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
final decision on where the cuts will fall will be made in February | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
and we will have a full report on the meeting in her News at 1025. | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
Some news in brief, and armed police are dealing with a reported firearms | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
incident in Barnstaple. The stand and Castle Street have been cordoned | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
off. Police are concerned about the man in the property. People ask to | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
avoid ENE. The BBC has learnt that the European | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
Commission is to investigate a deal to secure the future of the new | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
nuclear power station at Hinkley C in Somerset. The Commission will be | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
looking into whether the price the government will pay for the | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
electricity breaches guidelines on subsidies. Today the Commons' | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Environmental Audit Committee also said it believed the government was | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
subsidising energy. Wessex Water has announced that | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
customer bills will go down in real terms over the next six years. The | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
water company, which covers parts of Somerset and Dorset, plans to keep | :13:08. | :13:18. | |
bills below inflation. An announcement by the government | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
today has brought the possibility of a badger cull in Devon and Cornwall | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
a step closer. The Environment Secretary told MPs the pilot cull in | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
Gloucestershire had removed less than 40% of the animals, but still | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
claimed it was a "significant achievement". We're joined now by | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
our Political editor Martyn Oates. This is a much lower figure than the | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
government was aiming for, isn't it? Yes, originally the government | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
following its own scientific advice said that 70% of badgers in any | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
given area needed to be called and that it fell short of that targets | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
there was a risk that the disease could be made worse by Badger groups | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
being disrupted and spreading bovine key further afield. Figures have | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
fallen short in the Somerset area and Gloucestershire, we now know | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
that in Gloucestershire it is hugely short. Opponents say the government | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
has filled under its own criteria, it is probably making disease worse | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
and it should stop. The Environment Secretary has said we can expect | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
long`term benefits in terms of disease reduction after four years | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
of sustained culling. Can we take it from that that the culling will | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
continue? It has been decided that in the pilot areas culling will | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
continue for the next three years, the big question is whether it is | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
extended further afield. Opponents are expected to take advice from an | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
independent panel and decide early in the New Year. Deaf as the | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
potential for new licences to be offered. | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
There are serious concerns the horticultural industry in the South | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
West could face labour shortages when Romania and Bulgaria become | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
full members of the EU next year. The Government is scrapping a scheme | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
which brought thousands of seasonal labourers from outside the EU to | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
work on the region's farms. Spotlight's Anna Varle reports. The | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
signs of early spring. These are the first daffodils to win at this farm. | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
For ten years, workers from Bulgaria and Rumania have picked here under | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
the seasonal agricultural workers scheme. But all that is about to | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
change. Under the scheme, people from Bulgaria and Rumania are | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
allowed to work in agriculture in the UK for up to six months. The | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
account for one third of Britain's seasonal workforce on farms and fill | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
more than 1000 jobs in this region alone last year. This is being | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
scrapped in January when both countries become full members of the | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
new. The concern is that those currently working on the land will | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
leave for jobs elsewhere and without a source this is hard to replace. | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
This is a short`sighted move, this was something that worked well for | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
us. In 23 years time we will go back to where we years ago when we were | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
screaming that he could not get enough labour to do the article to | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
the dogs. We all think we will be back to that again. `` horticultural | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
type jobs. These men have been working on farms here for years and | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
believe there will still be plenty of people who want the work. I have | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
found in my country and when I talk the hour looking for a job on the | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
field. They are looking for farms. The Home Office see there is little | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
evidence that the supply of seasonal labour will decline in the next one | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
or two years and we want to encourage employers to recruit from | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
the UK. Farming bodies claim this is a short`sighted move which has the | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
potential to seriously damage the fresh fruit and vegetable sector in | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
this country. Plymouth diver Tom Daley has been | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
praised as a role model for other young people over his decision to | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
announce he is in a relationship with another man. The Gay Rights | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
group Stonewall described the YouTube video, in which he made the | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
announcement, as moving and inspiring. We'll be talking to | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
Stonewall in a moment, but first Spotlight's Jenny Walrond reports on | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
some of the other reaction to Tom's comments. | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
This morning's announcement came in a video posted on his YouTube | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
channel. I met someone and they make me feel so happy, so see and | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
everything just feels great. And that someone... As a guide. The news | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
quickly spread through social media with widespread messages of support | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
from other people in sport. Former England footballer Gary Lineker | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
tweeted, delighted that can't really is happy in his new relationship. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
Well done for sharing. Edward Lord, chairman of the amateur swimming | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Association said, to be one of the first British Olympic athletes to | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
come out and very brave. In his announcement, Tom question is | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
whether it is a big deal that he is in a relationship with a man. To | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
many it would be, but it is still rare for sports men and women to be | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
openly gay. Tom's coach said it will not affect his performance. Has made | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
the statement and Tom being Tom, makes the situation normal life gets | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
on with the job. He is diving very well. Something the announcement | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
will have a dramatic positive impact on other gay and bisexual people. It | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
is incredibly brave, to speak so personally about himself, a time in | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
the world where people have lots of differences of opinions and will | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
have a difference of opinion about it. I think it is massive and I | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
think it is a good job in brief for him to be so open and honest. This | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
afternoon, Tom thanked his fans for their support saying he is | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
overwhelmed and that it means the world to him. | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Earlier I spoke to James Taylor, from the lesbian, gay and bisexual | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
charity, Stonewall. I began by asking him for his reaction to Tom | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
Daley's statement. We at Stonewall think it is hugely | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
positive, it is hugely inspiring and a moving slowly to hear Tom, out in | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
his own terms, his own time and his own way. You say it is moving and | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
positive but don't you think it is sad in 2013 that's like these and | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
sports stars still have to come out and it makes the news? I think it | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
demonstrates how much they're still is to do to really change the hearts | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
and minds in society around attitudes towards lesbian, gay and | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
bisexual people. What can be done to change attitudes? There is a lot we | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
can do, today we have seen a hugely inspirational role model, I think | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
demonstrating to many of the hundreds of thousands of young | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
lesbian gay and bisexual people across the world that it is OK to be | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
yourself and it is OK to talk about it and it can feel good to talk | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
about it. Will this help other people in a similar situation? We at | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
Stonewall certainly hope so. Their research shows unfortunately that | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
more than half of young lesbian gay and bisexual people still experience | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
homophobic wing in Britain's schools, it has a huge impact on | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
their well`being and arts stops them from coming out and also the not | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
able to talk to anyone about it. I hope today's message and also the | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
support of many thousands of people across social media and in the news | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
will demonstrate that it is OK to be yourself. I was going to say exactly | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
that, he has had a lot of support. Should he prepared himself for | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
negativity? , he has, which is why I think his video was courageous. He | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
is a sports person with the best years of his sport ahead of him and | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
he should be applauded for coming out and talking about it. Thank you. | :21:08. | :21:20. | |
Time for the sport. Beavers here. Despite scoring two tries to none, | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
Exeter Chiefs still couldn't beat Bath at the tenth attempt, going | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
down 21`16 in rugby's Premiership. Although lock Damian Welch, in the | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
first half and Australian Dean Mumm, in the second, scored Exeter's | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
tries, it was the kicking of George Ford which turned it Bath's way. His | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
six penalties and a drop goal maintained Bath's hex on the Chiefs. | :21:37. | :21:47. | |
Yeovil Town produced a stunning 3`0 win at Watford to move off the | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
bottom of football's Championship. Byron Webster and loan debutant | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
Ishmael Miller put the Glovers on their way at Vicarage Road, before | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Joe Edwards put the gloss on a terrific display to set them up for | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Blackpool at Huish Park tomorrow night. None of the Devon sides won | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
in League Two. Plymouth Argyle's eight match unbeaten run was ended | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
by an early Burton Albion goal at Home Park. Exeter City twice had to | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
peg back Bury at St James Park in a two`all draw. Dave Wheeler's first | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
goal for City and Tom Nicholls rescued a point, while the pressure | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
is building on Torquay United manager Alan Knill after a three`one | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
reverse at Scunthorpe which sent them down to the bottom of the | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
Football League. They've now won only once in their last twelve | :22:30. | :22:44. | |
outings in the league and cup. Plymouth College's Olympic and World | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
champion swimmer Ruta Meilutyte has increased her years tally of gold | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
medals to ten. The 16`year`old Lithuanian is competing for England | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
in the World Schools' Championship in Brazil. She's won gold in the 50 | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
metre breaststroke with two events to go this week. | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
Finally, it's time to meet the second of the finalists you've | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
nominated as the unsung sporting hero in the South West. Those people | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
who make sure sports clubs and organisations run smoothly. Today, | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
it's two people. Rob Phillips and Chris Hewitt both coach the youth | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
teams at the Por`treath Surf Life Saving Club. Spotlight's John Ayres | :23:15. | :23:23. | |
has been to meet them. It is a sport that is closely | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
related to surfing and is placed in a magnificent setting. During | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
winter, the life`savers train in the river and pool. Many of these people | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
are lifeguards. The sport helps them hone their life`saving skills. You | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
will make the sport does drive the standard much higher, higher than | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
just meeting the spectators that are required. With the competition it | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
had a lot of skills and techniques. The club is among the best, the only | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
British club to win the European Championships at senior level, and | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
ten times national winners. As well as being involved with that, Rob and | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Chris spent hours coaching youth teams in all conditions. It is not | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
necessarily the warmest, they will be out on January and February | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
Sunday skis, putting themselves out there. That is something I admire | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
them for because I know I would not necessarily what to do that. The Mac | :24:21. | :24:30. | |
just cats that as it enters the water. I honestly believe that this | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
is so challenging to them and the way forward for them. Hundreds of | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
people pass through the Kings, the youth team on the national title and | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
on top of that they use these skills to save lives locally. | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
Let's look at the weather. Not much change, it will get cold | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
briefly but despite what you might have read in the newspapers at, last | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
until June. Just the end of the week. It will get less cold into the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
weekend. A bit of a change this weekend, it has been clinically past | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
couple of days with cloud that has been stubborn in places but for | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
tomorrow before you make some brightness. The main change will | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
come as Justin has pointed out later in the week and somewhat colder. We | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
will see some fostering and also it will become quite windy, especially | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
on Thursday. Once we moved to the end of the week in Italy became the | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
high pressure comes back in the temperatures start to rise. What of | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
cloud on the satellite picture as you can see, there is an area of | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
high pressure coming most of the country but trapped within a | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
business layer of cloud that has been very stubborn today, a few | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
spots of drizzle yesterday. The cloud will not move very far over | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
the next 24 hours and by the time we get the middle of the data model | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
dehydration is still there along the cloud. This weather front will bring | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
a change, into Wednesday. That it is clear air and brighter conditions | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
and the possibility on Wednesday of some frost. Then a new area of low | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
pressure moves across northern Scotland and equal the United | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
Kingdom on Thursday will become windy. That satellite picture sums | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
up the cloud structure we have seen today, there has hardly been any | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
breaks in the cloud and nothing will change overnight. The exception | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
perhaps of parts of East Devon, up into Somerset and Dorset. Here there | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
is a possibility of some clear sky and mist and fog forming. That is | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
uncertain but if they do form they will be stubborn to move out of the | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
way. We will see will temperatures in the same area of around two or | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
three degrees. Tomorrow the cloud is stubborn, the method if it hangs | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
around will be slow to clear and that is all part of Somerset could | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
be cold to model with light wind and temperatures getting up to around | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
four or five degrees. We will still keep a lot of cloud with some | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
spirits of drizzle now and then. That is the story be hell for the | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
Isles of Scilly. Light wind, rather cloudy and dull. Times of high | :27:00. | :27:11. | |
water, 4:55am in 17:20pm. Not much for our surfers, it has been | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
disappointing with similar weather but to model gives a very low with | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
hate and the poster waters forecast the winds are quiet. It will be | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
quite fair and the risk of drivel. He got in the temperatures on | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
Thursday, when the showers for the tops of the mirrors and then warming | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
up by Friday. Thank you very much. That's all from | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
us. Goodbye. We are back same time same place tomorrow. | :27:41. | :27:56. | |
The average person moves home eight times during their life. | :27:57. | :28:01. |
