Thousands of sailors at hundreds of clubs around | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
the globe have been taking part in a world record attempt in memory | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The Olympic gold medallist from Sherborne died | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
during an America's Cup trahning accident in May last year. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Today his four`year`old son Freddie was among more than 13,000 people | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
taking part in what's hoped will be the largest sailing race evdr. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
He joined others out on the water off Portland, frol where | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
His father always wanted his success out on the water to inspire others. | :00:36. | :00:48. | |
Andrew Simpson might not be here any more but he's still having ` major | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
influence, not least on his young son. Keep it simple, stupid. Case. | :00:53. | :01:02. | |
For his Olympic sailing partner it is his first time he has returned to | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Portland since the games. And the boat where he and his friends spent | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
so many hours in the years before Bart, as he was known, was killed | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
training. How does it feel hn the boat? Weirdly familiar but totally | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
different, different in lots of ways, mainly not having Bart | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
alongside me. Is this a new sailor alongside me? If he has half of his | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
dad's jeans, he will be a great sailor. This is it, the racd is | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
under way. There are also r`ces in Payton, Plymouth, Penzance `nd other | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
places in the south`west, not to mention at different clubs `round | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
the world. It's hard to think of a sailing community that isn't taking | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
part. Loads of children are starting to find sailing more fun. I think it | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
is because the Olympics took place here, and a load of famous sailors | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
came here. It has reintroduced it. Like Bart. It is hoped this event | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
will help that legacy to continue and the next generation is `lready | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
taking to the water. At the age of just four. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Some people who send their children to a specialist unit near Plymouth | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
say they're angry it isn't fully re`opening, forcing them to continue | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
The respite centre and children's home at Dame Hannah | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Rogers School in Ivybridge was closed for more than six wedks | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
On Friday the school issued a statement saying it will reopen | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
But the mother of 21`year`old Kieran, who has cerebral palsy | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
and complex needs, hasn't bden told when he can return. | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
I can't believe we still haven't been told anything. I'd havd thought | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
they would have found us or send us a letter to say this is what is | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
happening. You know, young `dults might goes `` might go up that at | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
such and such a date but nothing. I am even more angry now than I was | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
The BBC has helped to solve the mystery of a suspicious looking | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
plant growing wild in the g`rden of an East Devon seaside town. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
The owners of the property, in Exmouth, had a hunch what it might | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Today they were paid a visit by BBC Radio Devon's gardening guru | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Well, I haven't seen one growing, I've seen photographs | :03:24. | :03:37. | |
No one was more surprised than Patricia Hewitson when this mystery | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
She got straight in touch with the BBC phond | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
I don't think we've had anyone who's come on. | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
Well, it may have happened in the past | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
but no one has owned up to ht, but it is a first for the potting shed. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
I sent a picture of it to S`rah and Pippa by e`mail. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
And got a couple of interesting e`mails back, | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
including one from the police who said they wouldn't prosecutd me | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Patricia's husband John was charged with its removal. | :04:08. | :04:22. | |
I think the seed of this probably came from | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
the bird feeder which hangs just above, outside their front door | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
So I think the seed probaly came from there. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
It's quite common for bird seed to actually contain | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
a huge variety of plant seed, and cannabis has been known to come up. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Illegal to grow without a lhcence, the cannabis plant had to go. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
We've been told we have to cut it up and either compost it or take it to | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
the police station, or even take it up to the local recycling cdntre. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Anyone else finding a plant that looks like this on | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Some more lovely weather today, when will it end? | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
Good evening. Temperatures will drop fairly quickly through this evening | :05:05. | :05:16. | |
as our sunshine gives way to a starry night. A lot of kebab spells | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
around, a touch of mist and fog the odd shower in the Channel Islands, | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
but generally dry. Sunspots getting lower than this, leading to some | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
frost out in the countrysidd. A cold start to the day tomorrow, `ny mist | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
clearing quickly and then it should be another lovely day with lots of | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
sunshine coming through, just a little bit more cloud bubblhng up in | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
the afternoon, and feeling pleasant. On Tuesday and Wednesday, it looks | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
similar with sunny spells around. We see the cloud thickening later in | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
the week. That is all from le, have a lovely evening. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
That is all for now, we are back at 10:20pm. | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
Good evening. After a fine day, a fine night in prospect. And with | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
clearing skies, a chilly night at that. The satellite tells the story, | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
how cloud has built during the course of the day. Particularly on | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
into the afternoon. But we run the sequence and you can see it thinning | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
and breaking and it is those clearing skies that will through the | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
evening, but particularly in the small hours allow | :06:34. | :06:35. |
