Welcome to Spotlight. for news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
In the South West tonight: The controversial bid to be | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Truro will compete against at least three other cities for the title, | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
but not everyone is happy with the price tag. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
We'll assess the pros and cons of spending more | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Also on the programme tonight: A pioneering | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
The scheme aiming to reduce patients reliance on prescription | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
drugs amid concerns over possible addiction. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
The excited sightseers who gathered in the hope of glimpsing | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
I have them running the Sea watch for 26 years and this is the first | :00:35. | :00:49. | |
humpback we have had and it's really, really exciting. | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
And how this Devon girl's 3D prosthetic hand may be | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
the blueprint to inspire South West school children. | :00:54. | :01:12. | |
Supporters say it's an ambitious plan which would put Cornwall's | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
culture on the international stage and could bring millions | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Critics say it's a vanity project and a waste of money. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
A decision was taken today that Cornwall is going to push ahead | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
with a controversial bid for Truro as European Capital | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Senior councillors were voting for the second time after calls | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
for further scrutiny of the proposals. | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
Cornwall's likely to be competing alongside Leeds, | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Dundee and Milton Keynes for the title at a cost | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
The Liverpudlians launched in style when they won it for the UK nine | :01:44. | :02:01. | |
years ago. Now Cornwall is Eileen Diss prize. With Truro at the heart | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
there will be a Cornwall wide bid to become the European capital of | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
culture 2023. We are coming out of the EU but all but one senior | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
counsellor gave the bid a go-ahead at the cost of over ?300,000. Given | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
that we have voted to come out of Europe to now the European capital | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
of culture seems at best God. Yes, it would be a lovely idea but it's a | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
lot of money and we really need to think, do we need to spend that | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
amount of money? I think there is enough in Cornwall of different | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
types of culture to make an acceptable bid. Supporters point to | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
the success of cultural projects like last summer's man engine and | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
see if this bid goes all the way, the Cornish economy could get a | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
boost of almost ?100 million. The creative industry is one of our | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
fastest-growing sector and supporting this is supporting growth | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
and jobs for our residents. You can see overnight stays at the hotel, | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
are increasing, increases in private investments in the city, but for me | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
as working as head of the culture Department, most important is the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
awareness of how investments in culture make a difference in a | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
city's element. The competition is likely to include Leeds, Dundee and | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Milton Keynes. Critics are branding it a waste of money and question | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
whether post Brexit the UK will even get its turn. Had we stayed in the | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
European Union we would be in a completely different position but | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
this is part of our renegotiation as we leave the EU. We do not know if | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
it will survive. The government has made that clear. We could possibly | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
create another competition post Brexit into which Cornwall could | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
contribute, is just this competition, we are too late, we | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
have no public support. When Liverpool's year ended, organisers | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
insisted there is a long lasting legacy. Those behind Cornwall's | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
ambitions say taking part in this first phase will reap benefits. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Doctors in Cornwall are launching a new scheme to stop people | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
with long-term medical conditions becoming addicted to | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
It comes after clinicians noticed a rise in patients | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
The painkillers they're most worried about are so-called opiates. | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
The number dispensed in England over the past decade has soared - | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
from more than 10.5 million in 2005 to more than 23 million in 2015. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
The cost has more than doubled too - from ?143 million to | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
more than ?300 million. Compared to some other | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
parts of the country, Cornwall's prescribing | :05:11. | :05:11. | |
This may in part be down to having an elderly population, | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
but clinicians are nonetheless worried that some people | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
are receiving dosages which are doing them more | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Our health correspondent Jenny Walrond reports. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Jay takes morphine to relieve the back pain he has | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
But his dosage is now so high, it could kill him. | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
The medication built-up and made me unconscious, | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
so when the carers came in on the occasions, | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
they couldn't wake me, they couldn't talk to me. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
The next thing I remember I was being woken up in hospital. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
GPs in Cornwall are now trying something new - | :05:53. | :06:08. | |
asking patients to enter a contract with them to reduce their | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
But what we are saying is you are still in pain, aren't you? | :06:13. | :06:26. | |
We will take it at your pace, but I am going to keep | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
I do not want to continue to prescribe this drug | :06:33. | :06:46. | |
I do not think it is safe and the responsibility lies with me. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Doctors came up with the contract idea after they noticed some | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
patients were ending up in hospital with signs of addiction. | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
Many of the patients with long-term painful conditions were displaying | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
the same kind of features in how they presented and how their lives | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
were as I had seen when working in a drug addiction service | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Cornwall is now reviewing the prescriptions of a number | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
People for whom the good painkillers can do has been | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Dr Adrian Flynn is a psychiatrist and one of the doctors | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
You said you were concerned about what you were seeing in hospital. | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
I am surprised about the Cornwall figures. There is no reason why that | :07:39. | :07:57. | |
we have a slightly older patient that we should be prescribing more | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
than the average painkiller. What makes you think this contract system | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
will work for people? The contract system we have developed hopefully | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
will enable people with a complex, long-term problem to build a | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
relationship of trust with their GP and to begin to recognise that | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
perhaps the treatment they have been relying on for many years may | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
actually not be helping, maybe making the symptoms worse and what | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
they really need if we are going to change something like that is the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
trust, a trusting Blishen shipped with their GP and a chance overtime | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
to begin to make these difficult changes. It's a brave move for | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
people. I can remember taking synthetic opiates for a while, I | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
would not have been happy to stop those given the pain I was in, so it | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
is a trust thing with your GP. Absolutely. It is quite important we | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
recognise there is a difference between acute pain and chronic, | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
persistent pain. Acute pain where we have tissue damage, we note the use | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
of strong medicines like opiates can be really effective, keeps you going | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
and as the tissue damage settles, then you can reduce the opiate but | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
if you are taking them for a long time, it is likely they are not | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
working, it is certainly possible they are making the pain worse and | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
it is probable they are not improving your quality of life. Is | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
there a feared that losing patience of these drugs, they will look for | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
damn house where? -- look for them elsewhere? It would be a terrible | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
shame. It is a risk, but the rate we are trying to introduce this | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
contract is about trying to build this relationship of trust and I | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
hope anybody we use it with will see their GP on a regular basis, though | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
not find themselves turning to that. There are so many resources that can | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
guide people through the part of chronic pain. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
There'll be more on this topic on tonight's Inside Out, | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
Now it caused quite a stir over the weekend, a humpback whale just | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
off the south Devon coast where wildlife enthusiasts | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
flocked in their droves in the hope of spotting it. | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
At one stage it was within 20 metres of the shore, | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
but as Hamish Marshall reports, although it's been wowing the crowds | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
marine experts are urging people to keep their distance. | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
A moment that will live with a 12-year-old for ever. Most people | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
have never seen a humpback whale in the UK so this became a hearing | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
hotspot. As soon as my son came out of school, we dragged him out and | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
the humpback was coming up and down. It was magical, on the event. The | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
estimates of crowds run into hundreds, maybe even a thousand at | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
one stage. The whale may have come here because fish stocks were | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
affected by storm Doris. First people were worried but we observed | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
it for about three days and they seem to be actively feeding, very | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
energetic, cruising up and down the beach. Local fishermen had been | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
catching herring and mackerel, so a feeding frenzy on our doorstep. A | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
number of humpback whale sightings off UK waters has risen to a record | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
high of 40 last year. One seasoned local expert says it is a first for | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
these parts. I have been running DC watch for 26 years and this is the | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
very first humpback that I have had. We get Binky Wells quite regularly, | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
also killer whales and we also have fin whales which are really large | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
but this is the first humpback and it is really exciting. Today, even | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
some who saw it over the weekend were back hoping for another | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
glimpse. Why have you come back today? My wife wanted to see, if she | :12:15. | :12:24. | |
possibly could. I saw lovely pictures of it on Facebook so | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
thought I could see it today. That see has been about the most exciting | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
thing today. They have seen Paul Boyces and Gannetts but sadly the | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
world seems to have moved off. Its markings may allow it to be checked | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
against a worldwide catalogue so we may be able to find out where else | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
it has been. Plymouth is the latest local | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
authority in the region It's going to go up by almost 4.5%, | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
which will mean bills will rise by around ?60 a year for the average | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
band D property. A large proportion of that will be | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
spent on social care. The city council has to make | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
?37 million worth of savings over the next three years | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
to balance the books. It's already agreed to move | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
to fortnightly bin collections Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
are also bringing in similar A man has appeared at | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Plymouth Magistrates Court in connection with an alleged attack | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
on a special police constable at the city's railway | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
station on Saturday. 23-year-old Jonathan Feasey | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
from East Taphouse, near Liskeard, has been charged with causing | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
actual bodily harm. He was granted unconditional bail | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
and ordered to appear before magistrates again | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
on the 20th of March. A decision is being made this | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
evening on a controversial proposal The plans include a high-rise hotel | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
and flats and the restoration Critics say the new building | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
will block light and views, but supporters say it will bring | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
jobs and revitalise the area. Plenty to celebrate | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
in South West rugby tonight. From the local stars | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
on the international stage to another hard-fought victory | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
for the Cornish Pirates - we'll And remembering the work | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
of the postman who delivered poetry A Tavistock family whose daughter | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
had a prosthetic hand created for her using a 3D printer is hoping | :14:21. | :14:30. | |
to help other children Abbi Jillians was born with one hand | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
and had a second one produced Her parents' charity, | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
Abbi's Helping Hands, is now hoping to get 3D printers | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
into local schools to The benefits of Abbi's prosthetic | :14:44. | :15:02. | |
eye easy to grasp. At the moment it is child's play but as it grows, a | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
new hand can be created for her. It can pick-up things just when they | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
are on the table like that and it can pick-up things like that. I have | :15:15. | :15:26. | |
come to the fab lab where Abbi's hand was made with a 3-D printer. | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
What we have now is something that is perfectly correct in terms of | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
size of the actual hand to be fitted to the machine. We can say that now | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
said that it fits absolutely to the body part. The design of the | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
prostatic is totally free after being made available by an online | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
community. Once the measurements are in, it's a case of using a 3-D | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
printer to make it. It is one of the most rewarding projects I have ever | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
worked on. When you see a girl grasp something, it is fantastic. Abbi's | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
now want -- family now want to give the charity to other children. They | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
have gifted a 3-D printer to the Marine Academy in Plymouth. The | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
software that is out there free of charge, it is huge, kids love it. | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
Abbi controls the hand by tilting her wrist and she is the envy of | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
some of her friends. Some other people feel that 3-D printing your | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
hands is really good. They ask, can I have one? | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
It's time for the sport now and Natalie's here with the winners | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
Only if you hand me the right envelope! | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
Obvious winners from yesterday were Exeter Chiefs' players | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
representing their countries who shone on the big stage. | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Jack Nowell and Mikele Campagnaro scored three tries between them | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
With the details of this and the rest of the rugby, | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
It was Exeter's Italian who took centre stage at Twickenham. | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
Centre Michele Campagnaro waltzed through the English defence to score | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
a wonderful solo try giving the current grand slam | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
The chief winger was brought on from the bench and scored two late tries. | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
First he went over in the corner to bring up a bonus point | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
for Eddie Jones's men before taking a pass from team-mate | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
Henry Slade to bundle over for his second of the game. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
The win not only keeps England on course for another grand slam, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
but it also extends their winning run to 17 games. | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Despite being without a number of star names, the Exeter Chiefs | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
still managed to claim an impressive win over Newcastle Falcons and keep | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
pressure on Wasps at the top of the premiership table. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
The visitors led for most of the first half, but this | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
full-length score from top try scorer James Short kept the Chiefs | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Further tries from Harry Williams, Sam Skinner and a second of the game | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
from Short gave the side an added bonus point in a 35-16 win. | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
In the championship, the Cornish Pirates ran in five | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
tries as they thrashed second from bottom Rotherham 34-5. | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
The conditions were tough at Mennaye Field and a late | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
John Stevens try secured the bonus point for the Pirates, which moves | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
There's a lot of rugby to be played and it's quite tight up there. | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
We are one point off third and fourth now, | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
The victory has extended their unbeaten run to seven | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Well done to the Plymouth Raiders who've made it through to the final | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
of the BBL Trophy after a tense encounter at the weekend. | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
They were playing Worcester Wolves in the second | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
They lost 90-83, but won overall on aggregate, | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
having taken an 18-point lead through from the first leg. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
They'll now play the Leicester Riders in the final in Glasgow | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
on Sunday March 19th - a meeting of the two oldest | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
Football and Plymouth Argyle stay second in League 2 after drawing | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
with fellow promotion chasers Luton at the weekend. | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
It was a gritty encounter at Kennilworth Road where the home | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
Argyle equalised through Craig Tanner on the end | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
Tomorrow evening, Argyle play Notts County at | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Exeter City fought back from two goals down to salvage a point | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
On the stroke of half-time, Ollie Watkins got the first | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
and in stoppage time, Reuben Reid added the second. | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Tomorrow, the Grecians are at Crawley hoping | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
to get their promotion push back on track. | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
In the National League, Torquay lost to fellow strugglers | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
The Gulls did take the lead though when Luke Young took aim | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
The visitors were then forced to put an outfield player in goal | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
and Torquay soon took advantage, as Brett Williams ran | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
through to fire the Gulls in front for the second time. | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
They couldn't add to this though and it was Sutton who had the final | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
say as defender Dean Beckwith rose highest to lob the ball | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Torquay are away to Solihiull tomorrow evening. | :20:33. | :20:42. | |
And that's the sport for this evening. | :20:43. | :20:44. | |

The work of a forgotten poet from Devon, born | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
nearly 200 years ago, is being revived for a new audience. | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
Edward Capern was a postman in north Devon | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
in the 1800s and composed his poems as he walked each day between | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Yes, he wrote more than 600 poems and had four books | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
published, winning plaudits from the Prime Minister and all | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
He became known nationally as the Postman Poet. | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
Our north Devon reporter Andrea Ormsby has the story. | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
Walking in the footsteps of the Postman Poet. | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
He used to walk this route, a 13 mile round trip. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
He would have talked to the labourers working | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
in the field, because all the farm work was very labour-intensive | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
at that time in the mid-19th century and he got to know | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
many of the labourers and wrote about them in his poems. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
"Oh the postman's is as happy a life as anyone's. | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
"Wondering where dragonflies play and brooks sing soft and slow. | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
"And watching the lark as he soars on high to carol in yonder cloud. | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
"He sings in his labour and why not I? | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
Liz is now publishing two new books about Edward Capern - | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
a novel about his life and a selection of his poems. | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
This poor postman, and he was poor, walking the Devon lanes | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
and loving his work and writing poems about the countryside. | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
# Give me the bright bird palaces Where joy delights to dwell. | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
Capern had intended for some of his poetry to be sung | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
and so along with the books, a CD is being released. | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
# Tell the listening world the draft was most divine. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
You can feel the pace of his poetry. | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
The guy had to walk a long way everyday, six miles | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
there and six miles back, so you can feel his walking pace | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
in the poetry and some of that has come out in the music, | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
It has actually been, in some ways, quite easy to set to music, | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
because of that, because the words have got that rhythm already in it. | :22:52. | :23:06. | |
This is where Edward Capern is buried. | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
That is the bell he used to ring to ask people to bring | :23:12. | :23:21. | |
The Postman Poet may be gone, but his spell is still here | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
and now his poetry is being brought back to life once more | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
Time for the weather now. We have had everything today. Winter has | :23:30. | :24:06. | |
returned and there is not a great deal of change. Bitterly cold for | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
many overnight tonight and they shall those that have been readily | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
falling as rain may well fall to sleet and snow and not just for high | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
ground. You have been out taking pictures again. It was sunny along | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
the coast of Cornwall. Also some shower cloud around and that has | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
been the feature over the last few hours. Thank you for all of those. | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
We continue to see some heavy showers tonight and tomorrow. | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
Briefly in between the showers some sunshine but a blustery wind and | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
that will be a feature tomorrow. The winds are pretty lively. There are | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
holes in the cloud every now and again, they give us some sunshine | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
but allow some clear skies at night which will allow the temperatures to | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
drop. Tonight will be a cold night. Several weather front is wrapped | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
around a complex area of low pressure. They continued to produce | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
showers. By Wednesday, perhaps along the south coast some more persistent | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
rain and then back to the showery regime. Slightly less cold air on | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
Thursday. You can see the nature of the showers that we have had today, | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
the brighter colours here, that is where the showers have been quite | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
heavy but this is earlier today with these guys looked pretty | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
threatening. That blustery wind which made it feel bitterly cold. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
For all of us, wildlife, flora and fauna it is a return to winter for | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
tonight and for a good part of tomorrow. Some of the showers | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
tonight are likely to be heavy and a good chance they will fall as sleet. | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Some as hail, some over high ground as snow and the showers keep on | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
coming right through to the end of the night but in between there will | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
be clear skies and temperatures could be as low as zero in places. | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
The risk of Frost and ice tomorrow morning but for a good part of the | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
morning, it will be dry. This next line of showers moves through quite | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
fast. Some sunshine but every now and again, a shower well will spoil | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
the day. Temperatures of eight, 9 degrees. Forecasts for the Isles of | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
Scilly is for a blustery day, some sunshine but the risk of heavy | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
showers. Times of high water. And for our surface, most of the beaches | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
are likely to be pretty choppy and big waves, between eight and 12 | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
feet. The coastal waters forecasts has westerly winds, showers for a | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
while, a spell of more prolonged rain and sunshine and showers for | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
the rest of the day. Gloomy as we had to the rest of this week. A lot | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
of cloud around on Wednesday. Thursday is somewhat drier before we | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
see further outbreaks of rain on Friday and brisk Southwest winds. We | :27:27. | :27:35. | |
will have more on those proposals for talky harbour-side on our late | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
news but from all of us here, good night. | :27:40. | :27:55. | |
To be in the Lords, you have to be punctual... | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
literally have to slam the door in somebody's face. | :27:58. | :28:02. |
