away. That's all from the BBC News at Six. On BBC One, we now join the | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Farmers are told they can dredge a BBC's news | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Farmers are told they can dredge a river to cut flooding, but tonight | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
there's a big question over who'll pay. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Good evening. Worried residents living along the River Clyst put | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
their concerns direct to the Environment Secretary today. For the | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
secretary of state to come down to Exeter and visit and ask all the | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
farmers, councils, all the stakeholders were invited to come to | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
the meeting, is refreshing. Also tonight: Fears for the future ` | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
calls for cliff erosion at Sidmouth to be tackled, amid concerns the | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
town could flood if nothing's done. Challenging times for Dorset | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
fishermen, as they deal with new laws to protect stocks. And a | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
glimpse into life on the front line ` but do you know the author of | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
these First World War diaries? Farmers, councillors and businesses | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
leaders from across East Devon came face to face with the Environment | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Secretary today to press the case for urgent action to reduce flooding | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
on the River Clyst. Owen Paterson was told that the fragile economy of | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
the area was at risk if nothing was done. Dredging of the river wasn't | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
ruled out, but tonight it's still not clear who would pay Our reporter | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Anna Varle is in East Devon for us tonight with more reaction to Mr | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
Paterson's visit today. Owen Paterson arrived at the farm. | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
You can see it behind us. This was a meeting held in private. It was the | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
first time all parties sat together around one table to discuss the | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
issue of flooding on the River Clyst. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
An early meeting for the Environment Secretary, but one which is said to | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
have made a difference. Owen Paterson spent just over an hour | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
discussing the flooding of the River Clyst with council representatives, | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
the Environment Agency and local farmers. I would like to personally | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
find Owen Paterson becoming down and listening to the problem. That has | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
forced environ agency to engage and that now promised an approach going | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
forward. It is what been asking for for a long time, but it is better | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
late than never. Landowners have been fighting to get this section of | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
the River Clyst dredge B years. Now it seems a being given the go`ahead, | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
but the question is who will fund it. The stumbling block is who will | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
do it and who can pay for it. The Environment Agency has some major | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
responsibilities, particularly with the weather we have had over the | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
last two years. We will have to concentrate our money on protecting | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
homes and communities. This field has been under water for three | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
months now. He says has not been allowed to clear the wearer | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
himself, but after today's meeting that could change. Hopefully with | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
the help of neighbours we can get together and use equipment that we | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
have two hands, which will be able to make some improvement to the | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
situation on the River at a relatively simple cost. That should | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
improve the drainage between 70% in the river itself. Whoever ends up | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
footing the bill, the parties have agreed the first step stop we can do | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
this ourselves, and we can set up a local drainage board. That is what | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Owen Paterson said others, why don't you set up a drainage board. It is a | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
first step but one which it is hoped will lead to a solution. Action will | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
now be taken and dredging is a possible solution. As to the future | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
and he will pay, that is undecided, but this hasn't dampened down the | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
campaign and they are keen to start work as soon as possible. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
People living near cliffs which are being eroded in Devon are hoping | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
that plans for an improved sea defence scheme could help. Some | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
houses in Sidmouth have lost around 15 metres of their gardens in recent | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
years and there are fears that if the cliff continues to erode it will | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
expose the whole town to flooding. Sophie Pierce reports. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Life on the edge. These householders are in constant fear of more chunks | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
of their land falling into the sea. In the course of the last two years, | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
the coastal erosion that was coming in very much from the front and the | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
sea end has now spread around to the side and the end of the River Sid, | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
so we are being eroded from two separate directions. The effect of | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
this is that the mouth of the river is exposed to southeasterly gales in | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
a way it wasn't previously, when the cliff protected it. It is not just | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
about a few properties. This cliff protects the whole town from | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
flooding. East Devon Council is trying to understand why the erosion | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
has got so much worse, so it can do something about it. They have been | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
talking to locals about what they think is causing the erosion. We | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
know quite a lot about the coastal processes and we are researching | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
what has been happening, but there is nothing as good as local | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
information and knowledge going back generations. So, part of our project | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
is to look at how the coast has evolved over generations, and for | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
that we can do lots of desktop research, but there is nothing like | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
talking to the public and listening to their views. Local people have | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
been worried for years about the lack of action on erosion, so are | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
they encouraged? It is useful in terms of getting other people | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
involved and understanding what the issues are. My hopes are that we | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
will find out what the true cause or reasons for this rapid erosion is. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
We can develop an acceptable action plan and that can be implemented in | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
the not too distant future. The need for a solution is pressing. It may | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
not happen imminently, but at least the work has started. | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
The family of a man whose body was washed up on a beach in Cornwall say | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
they are desperate for answers about what happened to him. The police are | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
treating Alan Jeal's death as suspicious, after he was found with | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
unexplained injuries on Perranporth beach more than week ago. Eleanor | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Parkinson has the latest on the investigation. | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
This is Alan Jeal, filmed by CCTV withdrawing money from a cashpoint, | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
just 24 hours before his body was found on the beach, some 20 miles | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
away. Alan Jeal's body was found close a rucksack and wallet | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
containing a photograph of a small boy, believed to be the dead man as | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
a child. Alan Jeal is only identified after family members | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
recognised an artist impression released by the police. The police | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
say they're treating his death as suspicious because of injuries found | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
on his body. There are injuries to a variety of points on his body. I | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
can't go into detail at this time, but it is safe to say not all of | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
them can be explained by natural causes. The police now want more | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
information about what happened to Alan Jeal in the 24 hours after | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
withdrawing money from this cashpoint and when he was found dead | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
on the beach. He just withdrawn some money, so you might spend some money | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
in local shops, or someone might have seen him getting on a train or | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
bus because they believe he didn't drive. People here are keen to | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
help. We are shocked to hear about this. We would like to ask people to | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
remember what happened. Any information they can give to the | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
police. That would be helpful. Alan Jeal had lived in Weybridge from | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
those of us live. As a young man he worked as a scientist, but he hadn't | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
worked recently and lived alone. His family say he was a mild mannered | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
gentleman and are shocked and saddened by his death. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Tourism leaders in Looe say they expect to lose up to 60% of their | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
business when a major holiday route into the town is closed for four | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
months from next week. Cornwall Council wants to stabilise St | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Martin's Road following a landslip last year, in which Susan Norman was | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
killed. It says measures will be put in place to support local residents | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
and businesses during the works, including a campaign to promote the | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
area. Fishermen say new byelaws | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
restricting some of the waters off Dorset are proving a challenge, but | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
there are hopes that it will eventually pay off as fish stocks | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
recover and move out of the restricted areas. Practices which | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
disturb the sea bed are now banned where young species are trying to | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
grow. Spotlight's Simon Clemison reports on how conservation needs | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
are balanced against the needs of trawlermen. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Whatever the weather, if the fishermen are out, so too are the | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
patrols. Far beyond the eye can see, there is a whole world out on the | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
water which is also being policed. Just like the towns and villages we | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
leave behind. Today Simon Pengelly and Sam Dell are off the coast of | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
Dorset checking the new byelaws are being followed. The idea of these | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
new laws is to protect what's going on beneath the surface on the sea | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
bed, the reefs and the sea grasses where the scallops, the sole and the | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
plaice live. That's somewhere they can hide from predators, somewhere | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
they can eat but it's also somewhere they can breed and that's crucial. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Crucial, because unless there are nursery grounds, stocks can't | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
rebuild. Not all fishing practises are banned, but trawlers and | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
dredgers which rake up habitats where young species are trying to | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
take hold are outlawed. We're just approaching a scallop dredger. He's | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
fishing outside one of our closed areas. But he's close it? He's close | :10:00. | :10:10. | |
to it but he's the right side of the line. The crew has the power to | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
board any boat but efforts are focussed on those most at risk of | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
straying into waters which are now out of bounds. The company is | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
complying with the new laws and so this is a friendly visit. And Mark | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
Cornwell knows exactly how restricted his operation has become | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
because fishing is now done by sat nav. You can tell where the | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
percentage of the fishing was is inside the closed area. Where all | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
these different colours are? Everything in this is old scallop | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
fishing. That's all now closed. This is all now closed. Further down here | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
is all closed. So the few bits left here is what we're left with. So | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
you've got quite limited areas now? Yeah, with all the same amount of | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
boats fishing those limited areas. This fisherman believes the new laws | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
can work if what the authorities are hoping for comes true. Hopefully | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
fish species will thrive in these areas and spread out beyond the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
boundaries of these closed areas. Fishermen aren't sure about that at | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
the moment are they? Fishermen aren't sure. Some people have been | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
displaced by the closure but we've been working very hard throughout | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
the process to consult with the industry and make sure that they can | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
still access areas, important areas where they will have less impact on | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
the sea bed. Success will depend not on how the industry or the | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
authorities react but how nature itself reacts. There is talk of warm | :11:35. | :11:45. | |
sunshine tomorrow. It's been quite a year for graduates | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
of Exeter Chiefs rugby academy ` we meet some of the rising stars. And | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
life on the front line is detailed in two remarkable First World War | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
diaries ` but do you know the soldier who wrote them? | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
Seaside towns around the South West are to get cash injections from the | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Big Lottery's Coastal Communities Fund in order to create new projects | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
and safeguard jobs. St Ives in Cornwall will get ?500,000 for a | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
water sports centre, Minehead in Somerset ?300, 000 for a training | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
and skills hotel and Weymouth in Dorset will be given ?650,000 for | :12:22. | :12:22. | |
two nature reserves. EXETER Projects in Devon have been awarded | :12:23. | :12:34. | |
the largest share, with just over ?2 million for two schemes ` a ?1.8m | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
arts and enterprise centre in Teignmouth and ?300,000 for a | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
Jurassic Coast visitor centre in Seaton. Spotlight's Hamish Marshall | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
reports. No wonder they were celebrating in | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Teignmouth today. After years of campaigning, local arts will have a | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
new home. The Carlton Theatre will be knocked down and replaced with a | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
new multi`purpose centre. If you take a look at the outside it is | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
deteriorating. People think it is closed, so a brand`new building on | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
the seafront is bound to attract people. The ?1.75 million from the | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
coastal communities fund completes the funding needed for the new | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
facility. It'll provide a 210`seated auditorium, a work hub of eight | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
separate rooms and exhibition space. This building will bring a of new | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
businesses into the area. Equally, the businesses need the colour of | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
the arts. If you look at all the major events in the UK, the arts | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
have always been prominent. A few miles east, as the crows flies, and | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
you have the Jurassic coast. It attracts hundreds of thousands of | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
visitors, and Seaton with its shops, restaurant, pubs and bed and | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
breakfasts, is hoping to cash in on that. Soon this site of a former | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
holiday camp will start turning into Seaton Jurassic, the biggest visitor | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
centre on the World Heritage site. Those behind the scheme say it'll | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
create 12 full time jobs and indirectly create another 100. | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
Whilst the core benefit will be generated here, the area around | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
here, be at the local self`catering cottages and hotels, we have a plan | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
where we can deliver one hotel in the area. That'll be underpinned by | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
an extra visitors we get in. Todays grant was for ?300,000. It's hoped | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
the centre, run by the Devon Wildlife Trust, will attract up to | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
70,000 visitors a year for a hands on experience. It is important. | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
There is a lot more interaction these days. There is more touch and | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
feel. That is where we have to be when we develop the centre. Building | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
work, both here and Teignmouth, should start later this year. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
In a huge weekend for the Exeter Chiefs, not only do they have two | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
England players in action ` Tom Johnson and Jack Nowell ` they also | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
have an Anglo`Welsh Cup semifinal against Bath. This year has seen the | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
club's academy produce a number of first team players. Andy Birkett has | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
been along to meet a few of the new stars. | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
They have only been waiting in the wings a short time, but now they are | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
taking centre stage. Sam Hill and others are on up. The system is | :15:32. | :15:41. | |
working. We identified guys from 13 years onwards. We get them from | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
schools and centres in Cornwall. The guys have potential and where card | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
and they will come through. And the Jack Nowell he has made the step | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
from junior to senior level in six months. I had a massive year and it | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
is good to see someone I played with going on to do such good things. We | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
said when we joined it would be special for the one day when we are | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
playing together. We are getting there now. I was hoping to get some | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
time but I didn't expect to play as much as I have. It is unbelievable. | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
It gives you a buzz. Nominated for the award, his ambition is to join | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
Jack Nowell on the stage. It has been my ambition to favour England. | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
I was a bit disappointed I didn't. I have to work on my set piece stuff | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
and get that solid and then hopefully impress and go through. | :16:54. | :17:06. | |
These guys are now played England. There are the players we would like | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
in a year or five years time to push on the whole ethos of the club. We | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
have some strong players coming through. If we can keep developing | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
them and improving them, there is a good future for sure. | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
On to football, and some say this is the business end of the season. Here | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
in the South West, it promises to be an interesting few weeks ahead. | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
Spotlight's Dave Gibbins reports. The pot is starting to simmering | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
nicely. There is a time Yeovil Town could remain a championship club | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
after going four games without defeat, including a draw at Reading | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
last week. If they keep that run going by beating Sheffield Wednesday | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
they could climb out of the relegation zone. The job Gary has | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
done is unbelievable. We have that fighting spirit. It remains to be | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
seen whether we can do... Finish the job off, which I believe we can. | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
Plymouth Argyle have come from nowhere to get two points within the | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
play`offs. That is because of a three match winning run. The last | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
games have produced nine goals. That included this 5`0 hammering. Since I | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
have come back from injury I've been playing well. The whole team is | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
playing well and scoring goals. I'm just trying to do my best for the | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
team and hopefully get the three points. Exeter will have to sharpen | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
up in front of goal. They will have to claim their first win at home | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
since October, but they will look below them in the league. It is | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
looking grim for Torquay United. They are seven points away from | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
safety. They haven't won in five league games, and tomorrow they face | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
one of the play`off contenders, Fleetwood Town. | :19:15. | :19:19. | |

Now to a story which has already got a lot of people talking across the | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
South West today. We need your help to solve a mystery. Following our | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
series last week about the impact of the First World War on the region, | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
we were contacted by a viewer who'd found two diaries written by a South | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
West soldier. I have been taking a look at the diaries to see if we can | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
track down the family of the man who wrote them. | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
The diaries cover the period from September 1915 to July 1918. Herbert | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Cecil Elgar was heading with the first Devon Royal Yeomanry to | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Gallipoli. They sailed from Liverpool, and on 25th of September | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
he writes, all aboard, we're in high spirits and we were escorted by | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
three destroyers. Soon saw the last of dear old England. Valerie Harper | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
came across thr diaries after they were found in the roof of her | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
previous home in Plymouth. It is just so incredibly well written, and | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
a lot of it is by pen and ink, so how they managed to do that under | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
the conditions. It is so graphic and beautiful really. By November 1915, | :20:30. | :20:39. | |
Herbert and his comrades were under heavy shelling from the Turkish. On | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
the ninth he wrote, my birthday. Reached my coming of age. But two | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
days later it seems the shelling intensified. He writes, our best | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
officer Captain Teddy Hain, from St Ives in Cornwall, was killed. His | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
death cast gloom over the whole regiment. The cold weather soon | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
played havoc with Herbert's health. November 28, 1915. Still freezing, | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
especially my poor feet. I can't feel them at all. Oh for a little | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
warmth. By Christmas Day, he was in Alexandria, in Egypt. This is entry | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
for the 25th. Thought a lot about home. Feed decidedly better, never | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
do I want frostbite again. Had dinner of boiled beef. I'm in tears | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
reading them. The hardships they went through. It is just awful. And | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
I kind of fell in love with this guy. I thought he was so amazing | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
how, with all this awful stuff going on, they still managed to find | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
things of interest and other things. Indeed there were lighter moments. | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
He describes taking it bet with a friend over whether there were more | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
acres of land in Yorkshire than words in the Bible. He appears to | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
have spent most of 1917 in Palestine, where the death toll | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
continued to rise. On April 21 he wrote, Mitchell died of wounds, very | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
sorry. He came from Bodmin. By 1918 he is in France, and in the middle | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
of the year receives some good news. The entry for June 30th records, | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
going on leave today. Bit excited. By two July he is back in the | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
south`west, then writes, delighted to meet Father and the girls at the | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
station. `` July the 2nd. On six July he describes a day out in | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
Plymouth. Lunch at Colliers. Tea at Goodbody's. On the 14th he wrote, | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
packing to go back to France. And that is the last thing he wrote in | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
the diary. I would like to know what happened to the chap, because it | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
suddenly comes to an abrupt end. So for my own interest, I would like to | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
know what happened to the chap, and I would love them to go back to | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
their family. Do you know the family? Valerie has | :23:03. | :23:18. | |
let me look after the diaries and I've taken them home this week. They | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
are fascinating read. If you can help us, get in touch by e`mailing | :23:28. | :23:37. | |
or even drop me a line. Thanks to everyone who has got in touch. He | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
did survive the war. We would like to please the rest of his story. We | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
will let you know how we get on. Time for the weather. David, talk of | :23:46. | :23:55. | |
sunshine. It can't be true? I've waited four months to tell you on | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
Friday we have a dry weekend. We have some fine weather to look | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
forward to. We may get 17 degrees on the north coast. Some mist and low | :24:10. | :24:21. | |
cloud but that will go away. It is much warmer temperatures up to | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
figures. Most weekends we have been looking at wet and with the that | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
Ratko windy weather, but warmer is coming in from Spain. It's more of a | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
breeze tomorrow, but that will help lift those temperatures and after a | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
misty start it should improve. By the time you get a Sunday there's | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
not much change. One week system is bringing us more cloud, especially | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
on Sunday. There will be just a cue light showers. Find this evening, | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
and we have had some glorious sunshine today `` fine this | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
evening. We did have some beautiful weather at this beach. BC is a bit | :25:13. | :25:22. | |
chilly `` the sea. It has been studied by those big waves, so some | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
pretty chilly conditions. On the north coast it will be pleasantly | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
warm. It will be like spring. Later on tonight, all the cloud that has | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
been sitting in the English Channel will gradually drift back across | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
us, so many others waken up to a disappointing start. It is misty and | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
great and there may be some spit of drizzle. Don't be too downhearted, | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
because it will improve in the morning. Overnight haemorrhages of | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
four degrees. After a great start `` overnight temperatures. We could | :26:01. | :26:09. | |
easily see temperatures of 14 to 15 degrees, possibly a 16 or 17 | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
degrees. That is the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. A cloudy start | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
and fine and dry. Don't expect it to be sunny all day. Perhaps more black | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
cloud appearing later in the day. These are the times of high water. | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
The waves on huge but some clean, usable safe. Bigger waves on Sunday, | :26:34. | :26:53. | |
especially along the north coast. That is a dry forecast for fought | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
days. We haven't seen that for several months. Enjoyed that | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
sunshine. That is all from us tonight. That is the last spotlight | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
from the studio for the time being. This has been our home for many | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
years. It is home to many different programmes. These set the Sunday | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
Politics show is still in a studio at the moment, with a programme, | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
this Sunday. We are moving to Tenby Studios for the next few months, | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
while this one is refurbished `` temporary studios. A refurbishment | :27:30. | :27:37. | |
is long overdue. We will be in a new studio on Monday. Hopefully you | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
won't see too many changes. Have a good night. | :27:43. | :27:48. |
