Good evening. watts. -- in the vacuum cleaners. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
An estimated 100,000 people have turned out in Falmouth for finale | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
Just about every vantage point was taken for the parade of sail | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Hundreds of small craft also took to the water, | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
making it the largest flotilla in Falmouth Bay in living memory. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Spotlight's Emma Ruminski has spent the day there. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
This has to be one of the most perfect spots to watch | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
They think 100,000 people have turned out to watch this. | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
Don't look down, there are lots of people watching you. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Every time Falmouth hosts a festival of sailing, it gets bigger. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
There are twice as many vessels here compared to 2008. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Ships lined up for tomorrow's parade. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
It's seeing them having a wonderful day and then leaving | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
and heading up to London, it's fantastic and a great relief. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
I'm sure Falmouth will have it back again in a couple of years' time. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
People were sat waiting for the parade at 9am long before the roads | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
It has got busier as we have sat here as the morning has gone on. | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
But everybody is very friendly, everybody's enjoying the park. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
If you have ever been on one of the ships, you won't forget it. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
There are many ex`sailors in the crowd. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
I did the 1987 race from Weymouth which went | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
And I did the Australian race, the Tall Ships Australian. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
The organisers claim that the last time Falmouth hosted | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
the Tall Ships Regatta, it generated ?12 million for the local economy. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
A welcome boost as we near the end of the school holidays. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Just looking through the town, the town has been packed. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Happy smiling faces, hopefully spending money. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Sailors from 20 different nationalities took part. | :02:08. | :02:21. | |
Seven different nationalities `` from seven different nationalities. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
The sailors are just as diverse as the crew. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
The newest constructed just six years ago. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
But it was seeing them all together that made this event so special. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
The tall ships are on their way out of Falmouth. | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
They will head off up the English Channel, pass the Isle of Wight and | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
stop off at various ports and end up at Royal Greenwich on Tuesday. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Police investigating a serious assault in Tiverton in which a woman | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
Armed officers were called to the Old Railway Line at Cowley Moor on | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Friday night after reports that a 27`year`old woman had been stabbed. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
The woman's injuries are described as not life threatening. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
A man was arrested in London and is being brought back to Devon | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
The speed and scale of house building in Cornwall is | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
The Campaign to Protect Rural England claims housing growth in the | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
county, in relation to population, is faster than elsewhere in the UK. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
Cornwall Council has agreed to 47,000 houses being built over | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Cornwall Council has around 30,000 people on its housing waiting list. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
It says it needs new and affordable homes. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
But critics do not like the council's plans. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
We have seen developers choosing where they would like to build, | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
where it is cheap for them to build and where | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
We think local people need to be involved in the whole process. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
The council says it does engage with communities when comes to planning | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
but admits that meeting housing needs while protecting | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
We have policies that protect six AONBs, our SSSIs all those protected | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
landscapes, but there are still housing needs within those AONBs. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
And getting the quality of design is really important. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
Affordability is a key issue in Cornwall. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
In 2011, the National Housing Federation | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
found that average house prices here were 13 times the average wage. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
In Bodmin, the property market is buoyant, with prices that | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Definitely a good idea to protect the attractive, | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
rural and coastal areas of Cornwall but there is a big demand for Bodmin | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
with many employment opportunities and a shortfall of housing here. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Lots of people looking to buy and rent. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
If Cornwall Council gets its way, 47,000 new homes will be built | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
If the campaigners get theirs, it will will be far fewer. | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
Good evening. A fairly good evening. Lots of flowers spilling into night. | :04:53. | :05:11. | |
That will lead for `` Lita Grey and damp day tomorrow. Some brightness | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
coming later. Clouds filling in from the West which will become | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
progressively lower through the night bringing hill fog and patchy | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
rain. Quite a murky picture in the early hours. Staying mild and fairly | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
humid. It is really quite greatest things off tomorrow. Dampen places, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
a bit of hill fog around. We may see some brighter skies around breaking | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
out from the north. A few sunny spells to be had. Temperatures in | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
the high teens. Then a variable story. | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
I am back with our late news at 10:15pm. Join me for that. Goodbye. | :05:58. | :06:11. | |
Good evening. Much of the country has enjoyed some sunshine to finish | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
August. The last couple of hours brought a bit more cloud with some | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
rain for Northern Ireland and western Scotland. That front will | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
continue south through England and Wales overnight | :06:24. | :06:25. |
