Welcome to Spotlight. news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight, relief for the wife and family of the former | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Royal Marine who'd been convicted of murder. | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
We are delighted at the decision of manslaughter with reduced | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
responsibility. Did much better affects the circumstances that my | :00:23. | :00:23. | |
husband found himself in. We'll have reaction | :00:24. | :00:24. | |
from Sergeant Blackman's home town of Taunton as questions are raised | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
about the way his case was handled. Gathering to make their voices heard | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
- why the local community is out Feelings are running high about the | :00:30. | :00:39. | |
temporary closure of this hospital. The massive power surge that saw two | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
homes destroyed by fire. And troubled waters in Exeter - | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
why this unfolding drama is being A former Plymouth-based Royal | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Marine, who shot dead an injured Taliban fighter in Afghanistan, | :00:55. | :01:23. | |
has won an appeal against It followed fresh psychiatric | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
evidence about Sergeant A military Appeal Court in London | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
had ruled that Sergeant Blackman, from Taunton, is guilty | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
of the lesser charge of manslaughter on the grounds | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
of diminished responsibility. We'll hear from former Royal Marine | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
Lord Burnett in a moment. First this report | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
from Clinton Rogers. In Taunton, a Royal Marine's town, | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
you don't have the power to find people flying the flag for Alexander | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Blackman. Well, that is better than it was, | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
but I still feel that he should After all, he was fighting | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
for his country and things Yet there are those who believe | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Alexander Blackman had to be held Well, it was right | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
that he was prosecuted. That sort of action has | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
to be investigated. Simon Hollington was | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
a Royal Marine first 24 years, Today he told me Alexander Blackman | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
had crossed the line of what was acceptable | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
on the battlefield. I can understand how he did | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
what he did, I don't We have to keep them, | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
otherwise we are reduced to savages. What do you say though | :02:37. | :02:46. | |
to the argument that what goes on on the battlefield should stay | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
on the battlefield? If somebody breaks the law | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
and it is the law, then they have Former Sergeant Blackman | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
is currently in Erlestoke prison in Wiltshire having served more | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
than three years of an eight-year Now, all dates back to September | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
2011 when he was serving in Helmand Province, | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Afghanistan. When he shot dead | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
a seriously injured Taliban His actions captured | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
on helmet camera. But his prosecution | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
prompted protests. This one on the streets | :03:20. | :03:33. | |
of Westminster. And in Parliament today, | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
the local MP welcomed And would the Prime Minister agree | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
with me that within the correct legal framework, those | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
who defend our peace, protect our will from evil, | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
be treated with fairness Another MP, a former soldier, | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
said the right outcome had It was always my view whilst | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Sergeant Blackman had behaved in the most despicable way, | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
what he was guilty in the most despicable way, what he | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
was guilty of was not murder. He was mentally ill | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
when he did what he did. He had not been looked | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
after by his chain of command. He had seen things that would have | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
snapped the will and senses of anybody and what he did | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
was awful, truly, truly awful, but it wasn't murder, | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
it was manslaughter. So, murder has now formally | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
become manslaughter, but the debate over the rights | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
and wrongs of the shooting, and the prosecution which followed | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
it, haven't gone away. With me now is Liberal Democrat peer | :04:30. | :04:41. | |
Lord Bernat who is a former Royal Marine and was also an MP in Devon. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
What did you make of the ruling? I was pleased to see it and I pay | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
tribute to Sergeant Blackman who has behaved with great dignity and they | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
paid tribute to his wife who has been unbelievably loyal and stood by | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
him and she has been a wonderful lady. We just heard some of the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
footage of the incident itself. As a former Royal Marine what did you | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
make of what Sergeant Blackman did at the time? I had the advantage of | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
having spoken to him about it. I visited him in prison nearly two | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
years ago and he believed he shot a dead man against the Geneva | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Convention, but not murder. The panel in the court-martial find | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
other ways. -- found otherwise. If the Taliban insurgent was alive, he | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
did the wrong thing. Nevertheless, the court has today held that such | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
were the stresses and pressures on him and the other members at the | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
time, the public don't really understand quite what those | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
pressures are. Continuous mortal danger. Continuous wondering whether | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
your next step, you are going to blow up with an IED. This has led to | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
diminished responsibility. We have had a comment on our Facebook page | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
tonight from a viewer who says if it was diminished responsibility, he | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
was very clear in knowing he was doing wrong. He said in the footage, | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
I am breaking the Geneva Convention. What do you say to the viewer | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
tonight who says he clearly knew what he was doing? Because first of | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
all, as I said I'd start, a new that if he was shooting a dead man, what | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
he thought, what he told me in prison when I visited him, he was | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
shooting a dead man, that is against the Geneva Convention. Nevertheless | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
the court held otherwise. So how should he had been dealt with | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
without breach? If your think the murder conviction which clearly was | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
overturned was wrong, how should he have been dealt with? What should | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
have happened was that when the panel came to its opinion, 5-2, | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
which is not sufficient to convict, not take sufficient racial the | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
conflict in a civil criminal case, -- ratio. He should have been | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
treated on the basis that an appeal after that hearing the whole | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
business of his diminished responsibility came into play, | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
whether he killed a dead man or a barely alive man but Mike you want | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
the whole way in which military justice is dealt with to be | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
reviewed? I think so yes. It should be a trial, the panel should have | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
been his peers. That is the ethos of court-martial is. Only two of the | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
seven members of the panel had actually served in Afghanistan and | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
knew the hell that was inflicted on our people. We must leave it there. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Lord Burnett, thank you very much. And there is a special | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
edition of Panorama tonight after the Spotlight | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
late news and weather. Marine A: The Inside Story | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
is tonight at 10:50pm on BBC One. The temporary closure in bed at | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
Bosworth Nady Hospital in Devon could be permanent and a public | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
meeting beginning an telling the tapenade. Campaigners are due to be | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
shown a video made by patient Penny Smith who has terminal cancer. Penny | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
has pleaded to be allowed to see out her days in her local hospital. | :08:22. | :08:49. | |
Our Health Correspondent Jenny Wilder and is in Holsworthy tonight | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
for us. The news two weeks ago that this hospital was likely to close | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
temporarily has shocked and angered many local people tonight. But they | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
get the opportunity to express those feelings to the trust that runs it. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Earlier the Chief Executive Alison Dimond told me they are looking at | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
all options. We are open to any suggestions | :09:12. | :09:11. | |
that our staff are making and we have looked to work | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
with other local organisations to see whether any of these | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
things can be resolved, but it actually is quite | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
a difficult thing for us to do. We will continue to work | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
with people though. John Hutchings is the merit of | :09:25. | :09:37. | |
Holsworthy. Feelings really running high with this issue. Definitely. | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
People are very passionate about our committee hospital and one of the | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
big problems is our geography, we are miles away from anywhere, one of | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
the furthest distance is in Devon for any regard. Do you think they | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
will reopen the hospital say that they had never opened after the | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
break closure. We hope we can persuade them not to. We hope to go | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
against the three major point was in hospital. The meeting starts in just | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
a few minutes. Feelings running high. Police are already there so it | :10:08. | :10:08. | |
is likely to be a lively one. Investigations are continuing | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
into a fire at two properties in Cornwall which some neighbours | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
believe was caused by Smoke was seen coming from houses | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
at St Day near Redruth at the same time as numerous electrical faults | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
were reported in nearby properties. The Nightcrawler by rescue service | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
has told the BBC the most likely cause is electrical. David 's | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
daughter Bristol setup -- they were all out when the fire broke out, so | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
no one was injured but you wouldn't call them lucky when this is the | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
state of their home. Upstairs it is worse. Far worse. Fire burned | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
through in next door and through the roof. The children's destroyed. | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
Katie finds some wet and charred pictures of her daughter. I found | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
those pictures of Charlie from quite a while ago and it is just gutting. | :11:10. | :11:21. | |
Everything was in there, our lads. -- our lives. I came out and in | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
there was number three there was smoke coming out of the roof. A | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
neighbour called the Fire Service and that was minutes after she had | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
reported a power cut. Other neighbours say they saw smoke and | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
sparks coming from a nearby electrical transformer. Yet more | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
neighbours claim home electronics had burnt out at around the same | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
time. The electric goes off, sparking, the satellite box is going | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
up. Sparking off on cushions. Ten minutes later the ruthless smoking. | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
Within 20 minutes two rubes are on fire with flames coming out of both | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
of them. Western Power distribution say no one is available for | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
interview but a spokesman has confirmed that there was a problem | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
with the transformer that was here which is why they have replaced it | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
with that new one. Work to repair these homes is due to last at least | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
six months. The homeless families are still trying to find temporary | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
cut accommodation to rent. The children's schools have started a | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
collection to help replace their room and toys. But family photos are | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
irreplaceable. There were some good results | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
for our football sides last night - She's riding high - | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
the top jockey hoping to make a bit of history at the Cheltenham Gold | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Cup. And the young scientists in search | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
of proof after deadly intent Technology used for gaming | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
is being harnessed to try to cut the number of people | :12:43. | :12:52. | |
who accidentally drown There were more deaths | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
from water-related incidents in Devon than in any other county | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
in England in 2015. 321 people died in the UK, | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
with 231 of them in England. By county, Devon had 19, | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
Cornwall had ten, Dorset Across the UK, most | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
of the deaths were men. Now a virtual reality film | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
is being made to show the risks and Clare Woodling has been | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
to find out more. People are taking chances, | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
and that's why more drown in Devon Today we're shooting | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
a virtual-reality on the issues of drink-drowning, | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
peer pressure and cold-water shock. This water rescue is | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
an exercise done with actors. It will make a virtual-reality film | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
warning people about the risks. The Fire Service want it to save | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
lives, particularly young ones. Why is it the service is not | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
handing out leaflets So, for me, the issue with having | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
leaflets is that actually you can hand them out but people may not | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
necessarily read them, they may just get thrown | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
on the side, put in a pocket, whereas with this technology we're | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
engaging with people, we're sparking a conversation, | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
we're being able to show them just how dangerous this water is visually | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
through the virtual-reality goggles and being able to go | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
into schools and colleges and starting that debate, | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
really, to stop people The virtual-reality headset allows | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
the wearer to live in the scene Up, down, left, right, | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
the vision is 360 degrees. While no film can share | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
the chill of the cold water, If you were falling | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
in and it was sort of not planned, you didn't have anyone with you, | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
the initial shock of being I noticed when I had just got in, | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
your breath is like... and you're quite gasping for air, | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
to try and keep the blood It's this helmet covered in cameras | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
that will provide the footage from different angles and make | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
the viewer's experience Most people don't find themselves | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
in a boat like this unless It's hoped that these will bring | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
the dangers of rivers, canals, lakes and the sea closer to home | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
for more people before they find It was a good evening | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
for our football sides last night. Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City | :15:20. | :15:37. | |
kept their promotion hopes alive and Torquay United did their plans | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
of avoiding relegation Exeter City put the recent losses | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
to Hartlepool and Accrington behind them with a comprehensive win | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
at home to Cheltenham. They went in front | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
on the stroke of half-time. David Whelan was brought down | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
in the penalty area by Cheltenham And then it was down | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
to Reuben Reid to do the rest. The striker then doubled his tally | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
for the evening, combining with Jake Taylor on the right-hand | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
side before showing a quick turn of pace and rifling the ball | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
into the back of the net. Double figures now for | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
Reuben Reid this season. Taylor then turned from creator to | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
finish with this fine solo effort. It sealed the points | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
for the Grecians and extends their gap to eighth in the table | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
to three points. Plymouth Argyle picked up a very | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
useful point on the road The hosts took the lead | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
through Myles Weston's But super sub Nathan Blissett, | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
on from the bench, rose highest to head in his first Pilgrims goal, | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
and in doing so sent Torquay United held promotion | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
hopefuls Tranmere Rovers to a 0-0 draw at Plainmoor, | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
and in doing so they remain a point clear from safety | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
in the National League. And Yeovil Town are in action this | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
evening, when they take She's from Devon and will become | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
only the second woman ever to ride in the Cheltenham Gold Cup | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
on Friday. Jockey Lizzie Kelly will be | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
on board Tea for Two, trained by her stepfather Nick | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
Williams. Damian Derrick has been | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
to the family yard to I wanted to dress like a male jockey | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
with all the right gear, proper riding boots, | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
proper brooch and everything. I had to do more to fit | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
in and look right and look Lizzie hasn't just fitted | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
in, she's stood out, making her own piece of history | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
along the way. COMMENTATOR: A first ever grade | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
one win in Britain over That win at the highest level | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
in jump racing 15 months ago The confidence side | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
of that was massive, you know, it really set in stone sort | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
of where I was going and what I was capable of, | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
being able to say I have won a grade one to myself, when | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
things are a bit bleak. Despite her success, opportunities | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
are limited for Lizzie. Many owners and trainers | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
are still reluctant to expose women The vast majority of her rides come | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
from the family yard. Not that she is getting | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
any hand-outs. She rides for us and we run | :18:50. | :18:50. | |
a business and if we don't get the success, then we won't be | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
here in years to come, I feel very proud that somebody | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
can be that dedicated And it is that sheer hard work that | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
Lizzie says is behind her success. Although long used to being | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
outnumbered in the weighing room, she does understand the significance | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
of being the first female jockey I think more than any other | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
girl reference, I really Riding in the Gold Cup is massive, | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
because it's such an elite race, reserved for the best horses, | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
the best trainers And in such illustrious | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
company, Lizzie has already Now, as crime mysteries go | :19:37. | :19:42. | |

the budding detectives. It is how they find out DNA strands | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
and CSI stuff and how they catch James and fellow super sleuths | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
are on a mega serious case - who and what is making | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
bread taste mega sweet? So, here on this screen we can | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
see the yeast that you prepared on a microscope slide, | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
so these are the cells that you have stained with the dye, | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
so your job is to see amongst all these yeast cells if you can | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
spot ones that are different, because those | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
are the ones that we think that are the mutant yeast, | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
that carry the DNA James is one of 200 pupils | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
from around the region playing forensic detective | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
at the medical school laboratories at the University | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
of Exeter. They are using state-of-the-art | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
microbiology and They are looking at | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
mutated cells under the microscope. And strictly in the interests | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
of the medical research, So, it is showing them how | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
we take the research that we do in the lab on DNA, | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
on people's genetic samples and we carry | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
that right through into understanding how | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
organs work, understanding how that affects the individual and | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
ultimately how that affects society when it is a serious health issue | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
like the link between diabetes and Though only 20% of | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
science professors are women, event is designed | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
to prove that science isn't PhD student Hannah Jones | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
is a willing white coat and has this advice to women | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
who want to give science a spin. Just remain excited, inquisitive and | :21:55. | :22:07. | |
don't worry about looking geeky. I think sometimes the look of things | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
might put people off where people think you wear a lab coat and that | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
is not a bad thing. A little genetic genius helped the pupils work out | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
which culprit had spiked the bread. A taste of science at may well lead | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
to more successful experiments in future. | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
And we're hoping there will be no spiking of baked goods next week, | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
when BBC Radio Devon and Cornwall, Spotlight, Inside Out | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
and the Sunday Politics will be competing in their very | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
They'll be pitting their best Victoria sponges against one another | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
And you'll be able to see how they get on and how much they raise | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
In the meantime, it has been so mild, hasn't it? It has been nice. | :22:52. | :23:07. | |
Other places have had the crowds. It is going to change, because it turns | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
unsettled as we head into the week ahead. More cloud and more breeze | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
developing. In the still air we have had the leader two or three days it | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
is about to change but we have had some lovely sunshine in place of. | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
This this was the sunset in Somerset. The beautiful end to the | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
day here. Some sunshine coming in across other parts of Somerset. This | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
is hovered in the sunshine with just patchy cloud. The change will happen | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
through the day tomorrow. Generally for all of us rather a cloudy day | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
tomorrow. The risk of drizzle as well as hill fog. This weather front | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
is a bit closer. It also marks the boundary between the very mild air | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
and slightly colder conditions. Once that moves across southern Britain | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
temperatures will come down and then it opens the door to several weather | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
fronts queueing up to affect us and that will arrive at the weekend so | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
the weekend looks like it could be quite windy and at times also quite | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
wet for Saturday and Sunday. Risk winds. Perhaps Sunday afternoon in a | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
bit brighter with some sunshine but also some sharp showers. You can see | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
how we have had a fair cover of cloud today in places but others | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
have had the glorious sunshine. It is mainly be the more eastern parts | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
of Devon in the Dorset and Somerset where we have seen likely clear | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
skies to date allowing the sunshine to come through allowing | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
temperatures to get up quite high. He can see where Cornwall and west | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
and south Devon have been rather cloudy. Parts of North Devon, | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
Somerset and the North Dorset have had glorious sunshine. Overnight | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
tonight the holes were filling with mist and low cloud and it will be | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
very similar to what it was last night. A few spits of drizzle but | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
possible in the far west and temperatures no lower than between | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
six and nine. Tonight the cloud figure capable of producing drizzle | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
and few holes in that cloud so we returned to other great day tomorrow | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
stores. Temperatures not as high as they have been. Ten or 11 the top | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
temperatures. Here is the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. For much of | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
the date we have mild there. Bits of drizzle in the wind. Still feeling | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
quite mild but the will feel cooler into credit. Good surf today, bigger | :25:38. | :25:52. | |
than predicted. Not quite so high waves tomorrow but still some usable | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
served. As the breeze comes on the waves will become slightly choppy | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
especially towards the end of the afternoon. Westerly 3-4, fearing | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
north-westerly four. Occasional drizzle with moderate occasionally | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
poor visibility. Friday isn't too bad to start with. We might end up | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
with a bright start to Friday. Brief sunshine even through the morning | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
but then clouding over with patchy rain turning up. But rain keeps on | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
coming through the weekend. Generally quite cloudy weekend but | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
also quite windy at times. Thank you. And our News at 10:30pm an | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
