That's all from the BBC News at Six. It's goodbye from me. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Taking legal action ` the community fighting to prevent the closure of | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
hospital beds. Good evening, welcome to spotlight. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Campaigners claim there has not been a proper consultation over the cuts | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
and the plans will put people's health at risk. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Also tonight, homes are evacuated in Axminster after the discovery of | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
World War II bomb. Woman found the device in her | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
garden. The bomb squad made it safe. Exercise deep blue dashed three | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
squadrons of helicopters leave RNAS Culdrose for specialist training. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
And of the remarkable story of the pilot who escaped after being shot | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
down by the red Baron. Campaigners trying to save beds | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
from being closed at one of the region's community hospitals are | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
tonight preparing a legal challenge against the health commissioners who | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
made the decision. The action, | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
by residents in Torrington, is a first and could be followed by other | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
communities across the region. Campaigners claim they weren't | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
properly consulted Spotlight's John Ayres has | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
this exclusive report. Look around Torrington and it is | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
clear the residents want their hospital beds to remain open. There | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
has even been a parish poll showing overwhelming support. The | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
campaigners believe they were not properly consulted. Louise and her | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
family were try to get a bed for their grandmother who needed care | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
while she had a virus. Although they tried to get her into Torrington | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
hospital they face difficulties. None of the staff knew it was open. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
We pushed and pushed and eventually her physiotherapist phoned the | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
cottage hospital, find out was open, looked her place. After that, my | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
father received a phone call to say, does she really need to be in | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
the cottage hospital? My Gran was given a bed, eventually | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
come in the cottage hospital, but there were only two other patients | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
in with her. The need for the beds was being | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
evaluated over an eight week period. The campaign group, Stitch, which | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
was trying to save the beds, believe this decision was already made. | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
At the discharge point, people `` patients were being sent anywhere | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
rather than Torrington and we believe that was to massage the | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
number of figures people linking to come there. | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
The Clinical Commissioning Group is looking at services for a large part | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
of Devon. They are aiming to move away from cottage hospital beds and | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
provide more care at home. Instead, they want the cottage hospitals to | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
be health hubs, providing clinics and a daycare services. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
With an increasing pressure on the health care services for nursing | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
teams and for doctors to visit people at home, actually getting | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
people within a hub and being able to support people in a more | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
effective manner we hope we will meet some of that need more easily | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
than is happening at the moment. In response to the accusations, the | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Clinical Commissioning Group told the BBC their activities have | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
followed due and proper process and that no decision will be taken on | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the future of the inpatient beds at Torrington hospital until a full | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
evaluation of the six`month trial period has taken place. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
They said that so far their data suggests patients really do like | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
being cared for at home and he invited people to come and see the | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
hospital and what is going on inside the building. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
`` the invited. Stitch believes the process has not been conducted | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
properly and there are currently considering a legal challenge. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
A quiet street was plunged into chaos today when a woman uncovered | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Six homes in Axminster were evacuated | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
I was gardening between these two fences getting up bamboo trailers | :03:57. | :04:10. | |
and IV route and so on, I was just digging on, I was just digging | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
another stone and I found what looked like a bit of pipe to begin | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
with, but it had fins. I put it down carefully because I thought, I do | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
not know what this is, and I decided to call the police. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Six homes in Alexandra Road were evacuated awaiting the arrival of | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
the Navy bomb disposal team from the myth. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
I just thought it may have been a road accident, so I asked the chap, | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
and he said that there had been a bomb found in Alexandra Road. So I | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
was like, my God, I live in Alexandra Road. He said, you know, | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
they are evacuating everyone, you cannot go back to your house. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Once it was concerned that Michael confirmed it was an incendiary | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
device, we had a 200 metre cord and, then reduced that to 20 | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
metres. It was for safety to ensure the public were safe. The bomb | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
itself appeared to be a German incendiary device Camaro 12 inches | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
long and similar appearance to a small rounders bat. | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
`` around 12 inches long. We made sure the device was safe to | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
transport. We have taken it away and we will dispose of it at our local | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
quarry. It was the last thing Petra had | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
expected while tussling with her unwanted bamboo. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
My message, really come is if you are digging in the garden and find a | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
bit of metal, it was quite heavy, a bit like a lead pipe, play safe. | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
Speaking to the bomb disposal squad, this is not unusual, they have found | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
three or four of these devices in the last month. There were thousands | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
of them dropped during the Second World War, so when you are guarding | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
keep your eyes peeled. `` when you are gardening. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
There's a warning tonight that the South West's transport links | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
could suffer because of changes to the way the government | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
The Transport Select Committee says the new system based on bringing | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
in private sector funding could disadvantage regions where there's | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
The region has a well`established wish`list of transport | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
bottlenecks that most commentators agree need sorting out. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
The one that may happen first is the dualling of three miles | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
The stretch near Temple on Bodmin Moor causes serious problems | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
More controversially, many people want to see a widening | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
of the A303 through the Blackdown Hills ` that could provide a proper | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
And, most ambitiously of all, there are hopes that the failure | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
of the main railway line at Dawlish this year may lead to | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
the creation of an inland railway route in and out of the region. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Business leaders say actions like these would help get goods out, | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
It is certainly a lot harder to run a successful tourism business | :06:51. | :07:03. | |
in the South West than it is in the rest of the country. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Prioritising spend based on the resident population does not | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
The economy is highly dependent on mobile populations, and tourism | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
particularly, and the transport infrastructure has to improve | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
This Arab political editor has been following the story, this report | :07:16. | :07:31. | |
warns things could get worse? `` our political editor. | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
If you look at the specific situation in the south`west, the | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
latest available government figures show that transport spending our | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
region is the lowest in the country. If things really are going to get | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
worse, then if you are at the bottom of the already presumably that is | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
pretty grim news. It seems the key concern is this new | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
drive to bring in cut `` sector funding? | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Yes, the report makes the point that there is a lot less private sector | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
money in the regions outside London generally. In the south`west the | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
private sector is pretty weak relative to the public sector and | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
the report is also concerned that some local enterprise partnerships | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
may be better able to compete in this new atmosphere. Adrian Sanders, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
the Torbay MP, who sits on the transport committee, took on that | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
point today rather controversially. There are very well resourced | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
partnerships and the best resourced are more likely to do well in a | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
competitive process. The interests of Cornwall and Devon | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
where transport are concerned is almost don't `` identical Bubba, but | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
they are two separate partnerships. If they were one they would have | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
resorted to compete with other parts of the country and I think that | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
should be looked at seriously. The government briefly defended its | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
investment in transport today. It will now prepare a lengthy written | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
submission to that report. I will have more on this story on the | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
Sunday politics. Gamblers | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
in Devon are losing ?13.5 million a The pressure group, the Fairer | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
Gambling Campaign, says losses in Exeter were over ?3 million, Torbay | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
?4 million, and Plymouth ?6 million. Bookmakers say a code | :09:09. | :09:11. | |

Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier. Spotlight's David George saw | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
the helicopters set off. The Merlin helicopters are | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
a common sight over Cornwall, but it's been 15 years since Culdrose | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
have formed aircraft into what they 200 miles away in Portsmouth, HMS | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
Illustrious is leaving the port. Three squadrons of the helicopters, | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
along with crews and teams of engineers, will embark | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
on board for Exercise Deep Blue. The decommissioning of HMS Ark Royal | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
and the war in Afghanistan has led But the new Queen Elizabeth | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
aircraft carrier being floated next month means the Fleet Air Arm needs | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
to train for its traditional role. This is key to us, it is | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
the start of a new era where we're going back to see to do ASW in a | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
large footprint, and as a lead`in to the future carrier and where we are | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
going with the carrier air group embarking with that carrier, it is | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
important for Culdrose and for This is the first time these newly | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
refurbished Mark II Merlin helicopters have ever embarked | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
on board an aircraft carrier And it is not just a first | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
for the helicopters. This will be my first time, as well, | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
so it will be How are you with the | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
seasickness thing? But I have joined the Navy, | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
so I have to be, really! For the next three weeks, | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
three of these aircraft will be in the air 24 hours a day, guarding | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
the carrier from enemy submarines. It takes 250 personnel to fly | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
the Merlins and keep them flying. Doing that | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
on board ship is a challenge. There are a lot more things you | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
have to take into consideration. On the flight deck it will be very | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
busy and also you have to do a lot more to protect the aircraft, | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
so lash it down on deck because of the movement and also restraint | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
gear for the blades. There was a real buzz around the air | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
station as the helicopters lifted. At heart, we are men and women that | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
enjoy flying helicopters It is | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
a rare opportunity to encapsulate in one go what you are paid to do, | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
but this is pretty close to that. The Merlins fly past in salute | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
as they head out to the channel and embarkation on board | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
HMS Illustrious. Exercise Deep Blue is taking place | :12:37. | :12:38. | |

be a part of it. To carry it for the Commonwealth is a huge honour and | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
privilege, and I hope that one day I can actually represent Britain in | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
the Commonwealth Games and make my city happy again and my country. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
I think it is a really great experience for hours and I am proud | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
for it to be implemented. I thought it would be bigger, I did | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
not know it was going to be that size. | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
I think it will be a big event, happening around here. | :14:51. | :14:53. | |

Plymouth Leander's swimmers at the games in Glasgow, led by a man who | :14:59. | :15:03. | |

For the baton to come here, trabecular lead to this part of the | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
country, there is no better place than to come to the life centre. `` | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
particularly to this part. With the Commonwealth Games coming | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
up, we have international teams coming to train at the life centre, | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
as well, so it is not only for England, it is world`renowned now. | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
This is the fourth day of the English leg of the Queen's Baton | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
Relay. There are 50 days to go before the start of the Commonwealth | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Games in Glasgow, and these two young ladies enjoyed every single | :15:39. | :15:39. | |
minute of holding the Queen's baton. young ladies enjoyed every single | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
minute of holding the Queen's baton. Meanwhile, a Devon athlete is hoping | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
to be named in the England team for the Commonwealth Games. | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Jo Pavey has run the times needed to qualify for the five | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
and ten thousand metres at Glasgow. She's returned to the track only | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
a year after having a baby. Brent Pilnick has the story. | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
She is a little baby with a very busy money. As Emily plays with APPC | :16:04. | :16:14. | |
Daisy, her playmates contemplate the next training session. Jo Pavey has | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
been Britain's leading distance runner for some years and is | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
balancing her nine`month`old daughter with putting in the miles | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
on the roads of Devon. I did not even know if it would be | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
possible for me to get back to fitness at this age. It seemed a | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
long way back and I was still breast`feeding at the start of | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
April. With the trials for the 10,000 for the Europeans especially | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
at the start of May, it was quite a battle to get fit in time. It seemed | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
like I made it at the last minute, so I have been pleasantly surprised | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
and it has been fun being back. This was the last time Jo Pavey put on an | :16:49. | :17:03. | |
international vest, when she represented Great Britain at the | :17:04. | :17:04. | |
Olympics in 2012. You have to go back eight years for | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
the last thing she represented England at the Commonwealth Games, | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
some things she hopes she can do again in Glasgow this summer. | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
To actually compete in Great Britain again with the roar of the home | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
crowd, it is something that is really appealing to me, it raises | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
the motivation and makes it even more exciting. It is definitely | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
something I am looking forward to. Could Emily have a mummy who is a | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
medal winner? I guess we will just have two wait and see. | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
Throughout this year on Spotlight, in partnership with | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
Imperial War Museums we are marking the 100th anniversary | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
of the outbreak of the Great War, and tonight we have the remarkable | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Captain Oscar Greig was shot down by the notorious Red Baron, | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
and was held as a prisoner until the end of the War. | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
He escaped in 1918 and lived out his days on | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
As part of our series, World War One at Home, I've been to meet two | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
people who remember Oscar in later life, including Maggie Clark, | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
There is nothing to compare with the joys of flying. To express joie de | :18:04. | :18:13. | |
vivre to the fullest extent. It is necessary to fly. | :18:14. | :18:26. | |

and amongst scenery of the most magnificent and majestic beauty. | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
Part of Oscar's role in the early war years was to photograph cloud | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
formations to help other pilots, and this album is a collection of | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
As well as a prolific photographer, he was an avid author, | :18:56. | :19:06. | |
and the Imperial War Museum in London is now home to his | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
This is the diary he was writing in the run`up to the time he was | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
He says he was in machine 6997, and rights, shot down. | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
He then takes up the story in his memoirs, and he writes about the | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
He says, there was another burst of fire from my right putting | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
the engine out of action and hitting me on the right ankle, knocking | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
He said, I had no pain in my foot, only a not unpleasant sensation | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
What strikes me is how polite they remain throughout this ordeal, | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
because he says to his observer once they have crash landed, was he hit? | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
I told him, I got a Blighty one in the foot and | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
At which point he asked me | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
me if we were in Hun land and was not pleased to find that we were. | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
It turns out they were shot down by the notorious Red Baron. | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
And Oscar later discovered a picture showing his plane number, | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
6997, on display in the Red Baron's headquarters. | :20:22. | :20:36. | |
He was held as a prisoner until the end of the war, but | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
in December 1918, determined to get home for Christmas. | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
And he did, but his experience left its mark. | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
He lived out his days in this Devon farmhouse, | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
There were cobwebs hanging in all the rooms. | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
And he had an ancient Hoover, which he never used. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
In fact, as you walked through the hall | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
you'd leave your footprints in the dust, we always said. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
I used to make cakes for him sometimes, I would pop them through | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
the door, because I would put lots of eggs in and make sure he was... | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
Well, this is a landscape that has barely changed since Oscar's day, | :21:18. | :21:30. | |
and I am off to meet Tom Endacott, who farmed in this area when Oscar | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
lived here. What sort of effect do you think the | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
First World War and being a prisoner of war had on Oscar later in life? | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
It left him certainly very nervous. He did not like barbed wire being | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
used anywhere on the farm. One of the things was leaving his door open | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
always, that was just I think a fear of being shut in, locked up. | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
Canny about his flying exploits. He used to fly about three miles | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
from here. Just above where I was living here, he had a quarry that | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
belonged to him and he was working that quarry. | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
The chaps in the quarry used to think, he is spying on us, so they | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
were pleased when he clipped one of the fir trees. No damage, he was | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
able to fly back again, but that finished his flying as his sort of | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
past time. And, as he grew older, Oscar became | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
increasingly frustrated with his failing health. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
I think he felt that he did not want to be a nuisance to anyone. And so, | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
he died. And, you know, he helped himself, really, to go. Quite sad, | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
really. Lovely man. A hero, in my eyes. | :22:43. | :22:55. | |
And one who left a rich legacy for the pilots of the future. | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
The tumuli are the most interesting and beautiful of all clouds. | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
There are vast size makes a flight amongst them become an exploration. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
Every second revealing new beauties. I have today, I was rather taken by | :23:11. | :23:24. | |
Oscar's story, and reading through his papers at the Imperial War | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Museum was a real privilege and honour. | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
It is an amazing story. Yes, and tomorrow in the latest of | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
our series, BBC Radio Devon has the real`life story of the school | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
featured in to serve them all my days, and BBC Radio Cornwall tells | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
the tale of the corn wash `` Cornish miners who tunnelled beneath the | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
battlefield. Now it is time for the weather. | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
I have to agree with Oscar, cumulus clouds are my favourite, as well. | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
Good evening, we have had some breakfast today, but not a great | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
deal, rather cloudy today and the showers have turned up. Those | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
showers become more frequent overnight, so it is quite wet | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
tomorrow morning. Be prepared for a wet journey to work, rain just about | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
anywhere across the south`west, but it does clear from the West, last to | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
clear is Somerset and Dorset, and it becomes brighter in the afternoon | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
with even some late sunshine to enjoy. | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
There is a lot going on in the Atlantic at the moment. | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
We have an area of low pressure moving across southern Britain in | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
the next 12 hours or so bringing this rain that sits across southern | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
England for much of the day tomorrow before finally moving away into the | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
North Sea. The results will squeeze in the | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
isobars, so after a quiet start windows get going again tomorrow, | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
north westerly and occasionally across the north coast of Devon and | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
the will be strong. `` Devon and Cornwall. | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
Thursday is the first day of the Royal Cornwall Show, this weather | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
system probably stays to the west which means we should have a | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
reasonable start, but it does get a little closer. The winds are coming | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
from the south, circulating around the area of low pressure, drawing in | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
the warmth from Spain and Portugal and the Mediterranean, so it will | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
not be called, in fact quite warm. `` it will not be called Michael. An | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
increasing risk of seeing some heavy showers developing as the week goes | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
on. The showers we have at the moment | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
have developed into lines and are quite slow moving at the moment. | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
Thicker cloud just to the south, an area of rain moving towards us | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
steadily through the day. This was earlier in the post`bridge | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
in Devon over Dartmoor. Plenty of water in the rivers, the river art, | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
and plenty of quiet weather, but there has not been a great of | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
sunshine. `` the River Dart. We have seen light winds and | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
temperatures of just 16 Celsius. Much more of a breeze developing | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
tomorrow. Let's follow the progress of the rain, coming from the | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
south`west during the night but becoming widespread and persistent | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
in the early hours of the morning and overnight temperatures, because | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
of the cloud, will not fall too low down. Probably around ten or 11 | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
Celsius for most of us. A relatively mild start tomorrow but it is cloudy | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
and there will be some outbreaks of rain. Last to clear from Somerset | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
and Dorset, until much later in the day. Or Devon and Cornwall, Cornwall | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
especially, fine weather in the afternoon, a bit breezy, and on the | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
coast temperatures no more than 14 Celsius but with shelter we should | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
see temperatures up to 16 Celsius, and specially in the sunshine. For | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
the Isles of Scilly, cloudy briefly with showers in the morning, then | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
much brighter, breezy but fine in the afternoon. | :26:49. | :26:49. | |
The times of high water... Here is the causal waters forecast, | :26:50. | :27:09. | |
north`westerly four or five tomorrow, especially through the | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
afternoon. `` coastal waters forecast. | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
The temperatures are on the rise. Note how the temperatures climb up | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
to 19, possibly 20 Celsius by the weekend but also an increasing risk | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
of seeing some heavy showers develop, especially overnight Friday | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
night and into Saturday. That is all from me, have a good | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
evening. Another county sure, we will be | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
ready for anything the weather has to throw at us! | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
Come rain or shine, we will be there. | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
That is all from us, we will be back with you tomorrow, from all of us | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
here, good night. Find out what life's really like | :27:46. | :28:11. | |
in the favelas. Did I die? | :28:12. | :28:25. | |
Not yet. But it can be arranged. | :28:26. | :28:29. |
