A man who suffocated his terminally so it's goodbye from me and, | :00:15. | :00:15. | |
A man who suffocated his terminally ill mother is spared prison ` the | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
judge says the actions were motivated by mercy. | :00:19. | :00:31. | |
Good evening. Iain Harrison has been given a suspended sentence, but it | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
has re`ignited the debate about euthanasia. | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
There isn't any agency that support a change in the law. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Also tonight ` missing the start of the tourist season as they're still | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
waiting for an insurance pax`out. The historic Teignmouth pier says it | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
won't be open for Easter as it hasn't been able to repair storm | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
damage. The owner of Plymouth Argyld says | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
ambitious plans are still on track. And a welcome sign of Spring but | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
farmers say this year there'll be far fewer lambs. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
A Dorset man who suffocated his terminally ill mother has bden given | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
a suspended jail sentence. 50`year`old Iain Harrison l`ter | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
confessed he had smothered Hope Harrison in hospital to put her out | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
of her pain. Today a judge said he had no doubt that his motivd was one | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
of mercy. But, as Scott Bingham reports, it has reopened thd | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
controversial debate about Euthanasia. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Iain Harrison come in sungl`sses, arriving for her at Winchester Crown | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Court heard today was a sad and unusual case. Mr Harrison's | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
74`year`old mother, Hope, h`d been admitted to hospital in Dorchester | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
with terminal lung cancer. She died four days later. The court held the | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
hospital believed Mrs Harrison had died from her illness but in | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
February 2013, to use on whhlst being treated for depression, Iain | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Harrison confessed to a psychiatrist he suffocated his mother to end her | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
pain. The Crown Prosecution Service said today, as distressing `s it is | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
to see a loved one suffering and dying from cancer or a termhnal | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
illness, it is not for a person to decide when someone should die. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Euthanasia is effectively mtrder and murder is a crime. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
The case has reignited the debate on whether the law should be changed. | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
How much better would it have been if there was a law in this country | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
where the lady herself could have requested upfront and assisted death | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
and that would have been looked at by health care professionals, by | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
members of the public here without basically her son having to take the | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
law into his own hands. Every major Doctor's organisation | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
and disability rights organhsation, and indeed both Houses of P`rliament | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
and the Scottish Parliament, have rejected attempts to change the law | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
again and again and again. 50`year`old Mr Harrison frol | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
Weymouth was giving a `` given a two`year suspended sentence for 18 | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
months after pleading guiltx to attempted murder. Prosecutors did | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
not prove he killed his mother, however it was possible to prove he | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
had attempted to do so based on his own admission. | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
The owners of one of the region s historic tourist attractions have | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
had to admit defeat in their battle to be open for the start of the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
season. Teignmouth Pier, whhch is 149 years old, suffered hundreds of | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
thousands of pounds worth of damage during last month's storms. But | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
repairs can't even start as it's insurance settlement hasn't yet been | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
agreed. Hamish Marshall reports The damage to Teignmouth Pidr is | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
obvious, both inside and outside. The resort was right in the eye of | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
February's storms. Flooring, machines, some electrics and part of | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
the structure itself were b`dly affected. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Knee deep in water here at some points when the waves were coming | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
through. Nick's family have run the pier for | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
half a century. Nothing has matched this. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
There is a major ride down there that weighs well over a tonne and it | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
was lifting that off the flow, up and down. `` lifting it off the | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
floor. The power of the wavds was unbelievable. I've never sedn | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
anything like it, it was terrifying, to be honest. She may be 100 years | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
old, but then she is a perm`nent relic ` at least let's hope | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
permanent ` to an altogether more graceful age. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Then the season opened at E`ster. That is only a dream today. Repairs | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
will take six to eight weeks but cannot start until insurers give the | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
go`ahead. They are doing thdir best, I know, to speed things up hn what | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
can be a very long, long process. But it is never quick enough when | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
you are on our side of the fence. You know, when we are sitting down | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
for days on end doing nothing. It has been six weeks now and we would | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
like to have thought somethhng would have been done by now. The pier is | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
one of only two in Devon and attracts 200,000 visitors e`ch year. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
It is part of a traditional seaside holiday. Some locals that don't use | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
it still want us to be here because it brings people to the town and | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
therefore their businesses `lso do well. It is just a fun placd to be | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
on. Work is continuing to gdt the resort ready for the season. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Letting people know that we are in business. Obviously, with the train | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
line reopening on the 4th of April, that is going to be a huge pull back | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
into our town. We have had over a million people use Teignmouth and | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
Dawlish stations annually so it s been a big loss not having those | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
stations open. The Association of British Hnsurers | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
says its members have helped claimants speedily and effectively | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
and are dealing with flood related and non`flood related claims in a | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
timely and efficient way. Mhd to late May is the target for the pier | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
to reopen now. The jury in the inquest into the | :05:58. | :06:09. | |
death of Cornish teenager Bdn Cowburn have been hearing about a | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
Metropolitan police investigation into his time in London. Thd inquest | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
has also heard from his consultant psychiatrist. David George hs at the | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
inquest in Truro. The inquest has heard 18`ye`r`old | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
Ben Cowburn was found dead `t the Long Reach house mental health unit | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
in Cornwall just before Chrhstmas 2010. His problems appeared to begin | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
after meeting a TV personalhty in London. Detective Constable David | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Gadsby from the Metropolitan police service said interviews with staff | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
suggested Ben had a sexual relationship with an older lan who | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
was in the media. Investigation of Ben's computers and a mobild phone | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
showed many messages from the celebrity but there were no | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
communications that incriminated the man with acts of a sexual n`ture. | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
The detectives said a review of the Metropolitan Police investigation | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
had decided not to interview the celebrity. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
No one in the inquest asked him why that decision was made. The coroner | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
has already warned that the man called Mr X in court cannot be | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
named. Area the inquest heard from Dr Richard Haass, ten three's | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
consultant psychiatrist. The doctor said Ben `` he bdlieved | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
Ben had not meant to kill hhmself but he had not realised how quick | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
and lethal the method used was. He also described suicide wdbsites | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
as evil and appealed to everyone in the courtroom not to reveal how Ben | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
had killed himself. Doctor Bowers then went on to admit he was not an | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
expert in child or adolescent psychiatry and had tried to get in a | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
place in an adolescent ment`l health unit implement but they werd unable | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
to take anyone who was 18 ydars old. After his evidence, Doctor | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Bowers praised the work of the charity Ben's parents have set up to | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
help young people with ment`l health issues. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
The inquest is set to continue for another five days. | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed the Devonport`basdd ship | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
HMS Echo is being sent to join the search to try to find the mhssing | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Malaysian airliner. Flight LH37 had 239 passengers and crew members on | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
board when it disappeared 13 days ago on a night flight from Kuala | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Lumpur to Beijing. A satellhte has spotted two objects floating between | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Western Australia and Antarctica, but nothing has so far been found. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
The Plymouth Argyle owner J`mes Brent, is insisting he's sthll on | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
course to regenerate a string of prime sites in Plymouth and Torbay. | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
Mr Brent has taken on Plymotth Pavilions and Torbay's Oldw`y | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Mansion, and wants to redevdlop the Plymouth Civic Centre. But there | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
have been problems in his core hotel business. We'll hear from J`mes | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Brent in a moment. First thhs report from our business correspondent | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
Neil Gallacher. Here's a man who has taken on four | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
huge and high profile projects. James Brent is seen here on the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
right at Plymouth Argyle's home park, one of the well`known public | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
spaces he has promised to rddevelop. But has he promised more th`n he can | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
deliver? We are starting work in autumn of this year, which will | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
enable us to complete the grandstand and the new 1500 seater ice arena by | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
the end of 2049 for the whole complexity be finished by the middle | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
of 2015. `` by the end of 2014. | :09:38. | :09:49. | |
He is also due to transform Torbay Council's former HQ, Oldway Mansion | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
come into the luxury hotel, but he has not yet taken over the lansion | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
itself. Abruptly similar scheme for permit `` Plymouth Civic Centre is | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
still awaited. Meanwhile, some of James Brent's Hotel companids have | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
been forced into administration after the bankers took over debts in | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
the business, although no hotels closed. | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
As we saw in that report Jales Brent told Spotlight in August th`t work | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
at Plymouth Argyle was going to start last Autumn. Earlier H asked | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
why that hasn't happened. It was a very, very tight thmetable. | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
I think if you speak to anyone in the building industry it was very | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
ambitious. It did require a number of things to happen simultaneously, | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
and the truth is we probablx tried to go to quickly and ended tp going | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
slower. What is the timescale now for the Plymouth Argyle devdlopment? | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
I am very reluctant to commht to another date, given I failed on the | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
first one! My position is that we will go in the summer, that is what | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
we are planning for that thd club. The very fact you are reluctant this | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
time to be pinned down on a date underlines perhaps how much you have | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
taken on. Perhaps you promised to match. You | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
had a raft of big public projects, the pavilions, the Civic Centre | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
Plymouth Argyle, announced within a short space of time and all now | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
delayed, held up, nothing h`ppening. Have you taken too much on? | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
I don't think that is fairer and terms of them being delayed. The | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Civic Centre was not meant to start work until 2016. As I understand | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
that you are still only the preferred bidder there. | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
What is concrete about your involvement at this stage whth the | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Civic Centre? That is a fair comment, we are still working | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
towards getting that start. Nothing has been delayed in terms of | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
that project started, it was not intended to start until 2016, | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
completed in 2018. It was suggested early in the | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
process with regards to the Civic Centre there was a high`end | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
international hotel chain interested. We've heard nothing more | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
about that, what has progressed on that front? | :12:01. | :12:01. | |
They remain interested, and indeed we have had interest expressed by | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
other high`end hotel groups. Who are they? | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
I'm not going to disclose that, because, you know, we agreed not to. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
But they are as committed as they were at the start of this? | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
Yes. We have concentrated on Plylouth so | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
far, but you have business hnterests elsewhere and the South West. I | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
spoke to about 18 months ago at Oldway Mansion and your big and | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
ambitious plans that. Where does Oldway Mansion's plans fit hnto the | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
scheme of things at the momdnt, how far along are you with thosd? We are | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
in discussions with the loc`l authority there about the ldases. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
We have a development agreelent in place. We are pretty close to | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
drawing down the next phase. With so many public, high`profile | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
projects relying on you and the success of your business, how | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
healthy, financially, is thd business? | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
It is financially healthy. But you realise that the idda that | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
businesses are going into administration will sound alarm | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
bells for people unfamiliar with the business world. That sounds like | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
things are not going well. Well, you know, was there a | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
challenge for the regional hotel business? Yes, there was. H`ve we | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
addressed it? Yes, we have. Is there any risk to any of the other | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
businesses? Absolutely not, because they are independently financed | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
James Brent, thank you very much indeed. | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
Coming up on Spotlight, a money row between neighbouring councils. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Jumping for joy ` how Sport Relief has provided a boost for thdse | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
youngsters. And more signs of spring, btt the | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
weather's about to turn colder. David will be here with the details. | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
Torbay's Mayor has been acctsed of imposing economic sanctions. People | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
in Brixham say they are being denied ?37,000 that is rightfully theirs. | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
Spotlight's Chris Lyddon reports. Millions of pounds in cuts to front | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
line services have made Torbay's Mayor, Gordon Oliver, unpoptlar | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
You're in Brixham some people are comparing him to a character in | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Robin Hood. I think the Sheriff of Nottingham is a good comparhson | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
really. He owes us that money, he h`s been | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
told to give us that money, but he is refusing to do so. Brixh`m has | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
been hit hard in other ways by Gordon Oliver, and people are now | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
getting fed up with it. The Mayor is refusing to hand over to Brhxham a | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
central government grant of ?37,000. | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
That means council tax here has had to go up by 25%. | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
I don't want my council tax bill to go up. | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
No. The rising cost is a hot topic over coffee among customers and the | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
cafe owners here. I wish the Mayor would resign, put | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
someone in there who can run it properly. We have some great | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
councillors there who could do a much better job. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
To add insult to injury, a Freedom of Information request has revealed | :15:09. | :15:17. | |
that Mayor's car park gener`tes ?370,000 per year, for Torb`y's | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
golfers, making it the biggdst moneyspinner of old Torbay's | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
cancels. As a result of the cuts, children's nursery run from this | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
Brixham school has had its funding withdrawn, as had a children's | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
nursery run from this buildhng. We tried to interview the M`yor | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
today but he has been unavahlable, though he has released a st`tement | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
in which he says they have been faced with making difficult | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
financial decisions. The cotncil, he says, has to save ?26 million in the | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
next two years and he says Torbay has decided to retain Mayor's Grant | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
as a contribution by Brixhal towards the overall Bay budget. | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
?120,000 in government fundhng is to go towards promoting and developing | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
the Cornish language. The Ddputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, said the | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
money will help the Cornish Language Partnership to use the langtage to | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
encourage more visitors to the area by promoting its unique identity. | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
A project to restore a historical graveyard in central Exeter has been | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
awarded ?8,000 worth of lottery funding. For years the site has been | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
left overgrown and littered with rubbish. The Exeter Dissentdrs | :16:30. | :16:38. | |
Graveyard dates back to the 18th century and at least 1,300 people | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
are buried there. Ultrasound scans have revealed there | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
won't be as many lambs this Spring in upland areas like Dartmoor ` | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
hitting farmers profits by `s much as 15%. The freezing temper`tures | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
early last year have reduced fertility in flocks. Anna V`rle is | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
live for us tonight at a farm on Dartmoor. | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
It looks like you have some hungry little friends there, Anna. As you | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
can see, Laming here is in full swing. | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
This one was three weeks old and is the first to be born on this farm. | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
Because `` the cold spring last year has had a major impact on fdrtility | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
rates across the region and this farm is one of the worst affected. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
lost income. year, equating to around ?10,00 in | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
lost income. Minutes old, and a welcome sight for | :17:29. | :17:29. | |
Phil. So far, 200 lambs have been born on | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
this Dartmoor farm, but scans show the numbers will be 14% down on last | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
year. That means I'll lose my profit and a | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
lot more besides, as well. H won't be able to spend any money `t all on | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
accessories because of the profit will be gone. This year is going to | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
be a total wash`out, waste of time, really. | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
Phil's farm is an average shze for Dartmoor. This year he is expecting | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
to have around 170 fewer lalbs than last, losing him an estimatdd | :17:59. | :17:59. | |
?10,000. And he's not alone. Leyland | :18:00. | :18:13. | |
Branfield has been scanning sheep across the region for almost 30 | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
years. He says this is one of the worst he's ever seen. | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
Some of the worst affected farmers I've done could be 150 lambs less | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
than last year. Which is... Quite a severe financial loss. In some cases | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
10% or 15% could be the profit on the entire flock for that ydar. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
The cold weather last spring is thought to be largely to bl`me, | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
reducing the fertility in the ewes. But for farmers like Phil the focus | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
will be now on keeping thosd born in the coming weeks alive. | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
It is important to stress that those farming on lowland areas ard doing | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
pretty well, actually. For farmers like Phil on about Miller the next | :19:06. | :19:17. | |
few weeks will be critical. `` on their one. Losing just a few of | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
those lambs could be critic`l. Around 12,000 large trees h`ve been | :19:20. | :19:32. | |
cut down as part of the preparations for what will become one of the | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
world's largest tungsten mines. Hemerdon Mine is just a few miles | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
away from Plymouth and it's already having a big impact on the | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
landscape. Our Environment Correspondent, Adrian Campbdll, | :19:42. | :19:42. | |
reports. The remnants of an old Morrhs Minor | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Traveller can still be seen whether it was parked. But most of the trees | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
around it have gone for ever. All this work is needed to make way for | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
one of the largest tungsten minds on the planet. | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
We are a big mining operation and we will have an impact on the | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
environment in the early st`ges But ultimately I want to see more mining | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
in the UK, and if we can colplete this project to a high standard then | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
there is an opportunity for us to do another one, and another ond, and | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
another one. Barnaby Hudson has the challenging | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
task of managing the environmental consequences of developing ` very | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
large mine. Greater horseshoe bats have already been found herd and | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
efforts are now being made to protect them with a purpose`built | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
bat roost, costing thousands of pounds. The greater horseshoe bats | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
need to fly directly into the bat roost. | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
The entrance has been constructive 12 to 15 centimetres in width. | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
This wall has been constructed as a black well to ensure the roost | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
itself is essentially in pitch black. You will also notice the | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
humidity of the building has been reduced. We have modified the | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
downpipes to keep a constant level of humidity. | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
The site of the new mine will eventually cover a large arda. Wolf | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
Minerals has given guaranteds it will prtect the environment and | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
backed that up with a bond of ? 0 million. Thousands of new trees will | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
be planted and all of these works will be monitored by independent | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
inspectors. Clearing has just begun, but Wolf Minerals is promishng to | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
make good all the works. You may be aware already if you ve | :21:03. | :21:17. | |
been fundraising for the ch`rity that this weekend is the clhmax for | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
this year's Sport Relief. People will be running the lile | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
challenge, cycling or taking part in the swimathon amongst other events | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
to get active, have fun and raise some money. Johnny Rutherford's been | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
to see one of the projects to benefit from Sport Relief money in | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
Cornwall. That is one way to shake off the | :21:34. | :21:49. | |
everyday blues ` flip session. The name of this translates to change in | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
Cornish, and many young people are using this for a needed change of | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
scenery, or to help bring change to their lives. Despite the be`utiful | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
countryside we have, we also have some of the same levels of | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
deprivation as in some inner`city areas. | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
Trelya is here to be long`tdrm support for young people, somewhere | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
to come when they need help, somewhere to come when they are in | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
crisis. David uses Trelya to get away from the problems and | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
difficulties he suffers with. As I have grown up my life has been | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
rocky, I have been moved around the country, to Wales, to Penzance, and | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
I didn't have many friends. I came to hear to boost my confidence and | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
my social skills, and I met some friends here and Trelya has been | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
helping a sense. They don't just play sport here. | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
They also have art lessons, cookery sessions, film and animation courses | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
and music lessons. The money raised by Sport Rdlief has | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
helped keep the centre alivd. It means we can continue working | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
with young people and we can do even more to help them to have positive | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
outcomes in their lives, to go on and be productive positive lembers | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
of their community. The centre relies on grants and | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
donations. Without them, thd much`needed service would f`ll. `` | :23:22. | :23:33. | |
fold. We would love to see what you're getting up to four Sport | :23:34. | :23:37. | |

It has been going on about the vernal equinox, that signifhcant? | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
Kind of, because some peopld think about this as the first day of | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
spring. Meteorological and we think it is a | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
bit early in the year but m`ny people say this is the first day of | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
spring. The vernal equinox ` that means in simple terms the ntmber of | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
minutes of daylight is exactly the same as the number of minutds of | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
darkness. It happens twice a year, in March | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
and September. Now you are hnformed, Justin. You learn something | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
everyday! It certainly has not been springlike | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
weather today, the rain and wind has made a big impact, feeling cold | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
too. Tomorrow, once the rain clears tonight it will be more cold. There | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
will be some sunshine and some showers, probably in that order | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
Sunshine in the morning, showers in the afternoon, particularly the | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
early evening. The line of cloud is producing rain now, cleaning behind | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
it, that has already happendd in parts of Ireland and through the | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
Celtic Sea, West Cornwall. For the rest of us the line of cloud will | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
give more rain for the next few hours before moving out of the way. | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
Then we are between weather fronts for the middle of the day tomorrow. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
The next line of showers will arrive towards the early evening and there | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
will be plenty of showers around on Saturday, too. Again, it is cold | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
enough for showers to give some winter nests on the highest parts. | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Not really spring like weather. `` and Venus on the highest parts. `` | :25:14. | :25:27. | |
wintry conditions. The Swan array is now open this weekend and in theory | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
any eggs laid today, when they hatch it will be the first day of summer. | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
This is expertly, where we briefly had some brightness in the sky, but | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
it is looking pretty dark and gloomy and the rain was not far aw`y. The | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
band of rain is moving out of the way overnight tonight, taking its | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
time before clearing, but it will do, and for much of the night it | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
will be clear, cold, a good view of the stars, some showers possible but | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
it will be cold enough for some frost. It is unusual to see frost | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
this late in March, and for gardeners and there are othdrs that | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
will happen for the next few nights. Particularly across eastern parts of | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
Devon into Somerset. Widespread tonight. Tomorrow is breezy, fine, | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
with some sunshine. Showers get going by late morning and towards | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
the end of the afternoon showers become widespread and frequdnt. A | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
line of frequent showers approaching West Cornwall means for manx others | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
into the early evening it could be wet. Temperatures are held down | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
because of the cold air, nine or 10 Celsius is the maximum. For the | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
other silly, breezy, showers sums it up. The times of high water... `` | :26:44. | :26:45. | |
for the Isles of Scilly. If you are surfing, big wavds, but | :26:46. | :26:59. | |
not very clean, messy on thd north coast. The sea temperature `t the | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
moment is between nine and 00 Celsius. | :27:04. | :27:13. | |
The coastal waters forecast but `` forecast... | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
Stealing called and show on Saturday. Sunday is the better of | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
the two weekend days but both Saturday and Sunday night wd can | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
expect widespread frost, possibly as low on Sunday night as minus to | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
Celsius or minus three Celshus. Typical, with the vernal eqtinox, we | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
get weather like that. What was it again? | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
Something about equal day and night. That is all from us, have a lovely | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
evening. Good night. | :27:45. | :27:46. |
