Good evening from Spotlight. so it's goodbye from me | :00:08. | :00:08. | |
The future of RMB Chivenor, tonight the defence secretary offers | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
It's not a done deal. We want to give everybody time to discuss the | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
future of the site with the local community. And come up with the best | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
answer for the Royal Marines and the best answer for Chivenor. | :00:25. | :00:25. | |
First plans to close the base were announced | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
now with a potential lifeline we'll ask where it leaves the base | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
50 years ago tomorrow every drop of crude oil on the Torrey Canyon | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
We'll hear about the wildlife which has only recently fully recovered. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
And we'll see how the moments leading up to the disaster | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Plus, goodbye to the sky, the long history of Lynx helicopters | :00:48. | :01:00. | |
in the South West draws to a close in style. | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
And this is where the jet stream will live this weekend. It means | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
unsettled weather. I will give you the details. | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
There are calls for clarity tonight after the Defence Secretary raised | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
the prospect that the Royal Marine base in North Devon may | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
The MOD had previously announced it was destined for closure. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
While Michael Fallon's suggestion that the move to shut Chivenor | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
was not "a done deal" raises hopes for North Devon the future | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Kirk England spoke to the defence secretary | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
At Chivenor today Michael Fallon saw first hand what it's | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
like to save a life on the battlefield. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
At the same time, the future of the place itself | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Speaking four months ago it looks like a closure was inevitable. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
We are getting out of some of the more rural locations, | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
We want to give everybody a time to explore the various | :02:16. | :02:25. | |
options for these sites, and Chivenor is a very large site. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
The airfield is no longer used, for example, to discuss | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
the future of the site, with the local community and come up | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
with the best answer for the Royal Marines and the best | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
So no done deal on the closure of the base in Chivenor. | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
I'm very pleased that he said what he said today about what's | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
happening, a second chance, if you like. | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
Michael Fallon made clear the intention is that the Royal | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Marines will consolidate in Plymouth, but around | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
that it seems to me there's a lot of options. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
For him not to have ruled out the future use of RMB | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Chivenor as a military site is a big step forward. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Business leaders want more clarity on what happens | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
next for a base that, according to the local | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Liberal Democrats, generates ?40 million a year | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
If it's not a done deal, then obviously, we need to find out | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
more about what could possibly happen, because if they are going | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
to retain part of it, then that could be good. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
And then look at development for the rest of it. | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
If it's all going to move to Plymouth, then we need to look | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
And its the big site, with 1200 military personnel | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
There's been strong campaigning to keep the base open, | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
but some say a closure is still on the cards. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
I think the secretary of state was making as positive as organised | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
as he could about working with the local community, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
but at the end of the day he's got to deliver the maximum capital | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
receipt to the public purse, that, I there, were probably | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Done deal or not, a decision on the future of this base | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Kirk England, BBC Spotlight, Chivenor. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Onto some of the day's other stories. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
Somerset County Council is to sue Carillion, | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
the main contractor building a relief road for Taunton | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
The two sides are blaming each other for the delays and cost overruns | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
understood to run to more than ?10 million. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
There is still no date set for the opening of the road. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Carillion says it's working with the council to reach a mutually | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
satisfactory conclusion to their differences. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Western Power Distribution says work to restore electricity to Scilly | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
has been delayed again because of poor weather. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
The company said cable experts have been working to assess the damage | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
to the power supply since Monday, but the weather forecast has forced | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
They are hoping to get back to work on Tuesday. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
The 2,000 islanders have been relying on generators | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Eight new beaches including Tregonhawke in Whitsand Bay | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
are being put forward for special bathing water status. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Water samples would need to be taken and tested on a regular basis | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
81 beaches around Cornwall are currently monitored. | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
It was the day we changed our whole attitude to marine life and almost | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
exactly 50 years on some creatures have only just fully recovered | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
The super tanker hit rocks off Cornwall leaving beaches around | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
Thousands of seabirds died and livelihoods were damaged | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
in what remains the country's worst environmental disaster. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
In a moment we'll look at the lasting impact | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
of the Torrey Canyon but first on the eve of the 50th | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
anniversary of the accident Eleanor Parkinson looks back. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
Impaled on a reef, seven miles north of Scilly, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
the supertanker the Torrey Canyon lies broken, oil pouring from | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
She's carrying 120,000 tonnes of crude oil. | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
The oil slick expands, eventually stretching | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
across 270 square miles, as it creeps towards the Cornish | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
coast a massive operation begins to save beaches and wildlife. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
The army, the RAF, and the Navy are involved along | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
Among them, fire officers Eric Trout and John Allen. | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
John recorded the event as an official photographer, | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
today they recalling the horrors of what they found. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
You got your feet on it, and you slid all over the place. | :06:30. | :06:38. | |
It was like having a bath, when you leave the scum around the bath. | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
That's what it was like, all around the basins, the cliffs, | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Over the next few days tens of thousands of tonnes of detergent | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
was sprayed over the beaches to try and break up the oil. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
The main role of the Fire Service was setting pumps in and washing | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
down after the detergent had been applied. | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
There's been criticism of the detergent, because one | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
realised that caused problems in itself, doesn't it? | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
What I did here in the end, it would have been better to have | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
Because the organisms in the sand would have eaten it faster | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
than what we did by killing off the organisms by | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
It was an environmental catastrophe, 15,000 sea birds died | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
It was terrible to see these birds flapping around, | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
Trying to get out of the oil, and they couldn't. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
In fact, my friend here was saying earlier, the word filling barrels up | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
It's not the kind of thing people want to see. | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
A week after she was grounded the Torrey Canyon began to break up, | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
releasing even more ideal into the sea. | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
The decision was taken to destroy the vessel, | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
for two whole days the RAF under Navy bombed the ship, | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
they also dropped napalm to try and burn off oil. | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
And, occasionally, you could smell the smoke | :08:25. | :08:35. | |
The Torrey Canyon eventually sank leaving behind a legacy that would | :08:36. | :08:47. | |
last for many years. Part of that legacy | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
is the lessons learned. The disaster led to the creation | :08:50. | :08:50. | |
of new maritime regulations on pollution and changes | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
to the construction of tankers. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
Campbell reports on the impact. These crabs are gorgeous. You can | :08:56. | :09:11. | |
see their little claws, they are read. Do you think the population is | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
growing? Richard is a biologist who has been | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
managing marine life in Cornwall for 50 years. He is delighted to see | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
this clap is finally making a comeback. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
Many thought it was last altogether after oil from the Torrey Canyon in | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Gulf this beach near Padstow and toxic detergent made things even | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
worse. We found that this beach was | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
completely bare. Almost everything on it had been killed. Not because | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
of the oil, but because of the detergent. Within four or five years | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
it was stable again. It wasn't exactly the same as before, we can't | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
tell, because we didn't know. One thing we do know is that the | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Torrey Canyon ended up of course. Here in Plymouth captain Richard | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Phillips uses the latest technology to recreate the moments leading up | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
to the disaster. We are heading north at the moment. | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
The Isles of Scilly are over there, the Cornish coast is about 40 miles | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
over there. We are heading up in the gap between them. | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
Back in 1967 they weren't fancy graphics and computers like this | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
available to the captains of oil tankers. The captain of the Torrey | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
Canyon thought he was coming into the north of the Isles of Scilly, | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
but he was down here, so he did deliberately decided to coming | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
through here. He went straight across. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
You've got 50 metres of water and sand. | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
It's almost perpendicular. There isn't really anything to see, is | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
there? It's just rocks. No. It's going down quite quickly, Liz and | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
it? We've run aground. These days there are very few big pollution | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
incidents at sea, partly because of design changes. The Torrey Canyon | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
was one of the largest oil tankers of its day, with a standard single | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
skin Halley drizzly pierced by submerged rocks around the Isles of | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Scilly. As a result there was agreement that all new tankers would | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
have double skinned pals making them more robust. There has also been in | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
significant shift in attitudes. The Torrey Canyon was one of the | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
first stages which started bad roads to environmental awareness. It's not | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
just about nature, it's our interaction and the benefits we get | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
from a clean environment. There is a positive, or for the past 15 years | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
here the wildlife and habitats have recovered. Things are looking good. | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Adrian Campbell, BBC Spotlight, Padstow. | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
With bombs used try to sink the tanker and burn off | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
the remaining oil, events of 50 years ago tomorrow could hardly | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
I'm joined now by one man who remembers it well, | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
Good evening, you were one of the people ordered to drop | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
1,000lb bombs on the stricken tanker? | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
Yes, very pleased to be able to have. I'm quite sure it was a great | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
help. We came in on the morning of the 28th, ten days after the tanker | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
had gone aground. They were moving thousand pound bombs out there. This | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
is your logbook. Just pointers... You can see it, can't you? Somewhere | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
down here, it says bombing be Torrey Canyon. Right at the bottom of the | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
page. Then I went out on the 29th is doing the same thing. It must be | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
tricky, that smoke would be rising from the burning oil. There was a | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
lot of smoke around, but we must remember that once we had set the | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
thing on fire, because all of the bottom had been ripped out, | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
naturally, what happened was the tide would come in and put out the | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
fire. So down would go the tide again, and back we would go and bomb | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
again. Then the smoke would start. Smoke was one of the interesting | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
things. I was stationed in the far north of Scotland, and flying south | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
after we cross the Scottish border we could see this great plume of | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
black smoke coming up, 200, 250 miles away. The smoke was going up | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
to about 30,000 feet. It was a perfect spring day, absolutely clear | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
with hardly wind at all. Did you ever expect this is what you | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
would do in your career? Certainly in wartime one would consider | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
something like that, but not in this case, where one was hoping a | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
community and is trying to save the disaster that all this oil was | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
causing. It's difficult because some of the | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
bombs would have missed their target. Those days we bombed | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
differently, and some didn't explode, is that right? | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
I don't understand the word missed, of course, we didn't do anything | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
like that! But the technology we had at that stage, you could put a bomb | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
down within about 100 feet of where you really wanted to be. But if you | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
dropped for you could get a struggle. | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
A fighting chance. Was it the right action? There is no doubt in my mind | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
it was. They looked at how they could actually get rid of the oil, | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
could they bring in a smaller tanker alongside it and promptly idle | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
across, but I'm afraid but was just too hard, and it was too shallow. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
They had tried all of the detergent is type of thing, but they couldn't | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
deal with this treacle like oil that they had. We had to get rid of that | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
from the ship itself, and the only way of doing that is to get | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
something down inside each and every tank. They were 16 tanks and we had | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
to get ?1000 bombs into each and every tank. That bomb generated | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
enough feat in itself to be able to set fire to the oil that was in | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
there. We know it's changed our view of | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
marine life, and obviously has a lasting impact on your life as well. | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
Thank you very much for joining us tonight. | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
It's time for the sport now and you wait all year for a final | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
What a busy weekend we've got coming up are you tired | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
On the last day of the Cheltenham Festival, Devon jockey Bryony Frost | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
was all smiles as she celebrated the biggest win of her | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
career holding on to win the Foxhunters Chase in a tight | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
The 21-year-old from Buckfastleigh was on Pacha du Polder | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
which was the horse ridden by Olympic cyclist Victoria | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Pendleton last year in what's seen as the amateur's Gold Cup. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
Bryony was cheered on to victory by her Grand National winning father | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
Jimmy Frost who nearly completed the course himself, on foot. | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
In the biggest race of the day, Lizzie Kelly's bid to become | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
the first female jockey to finish the Cheltenham Gold Cup | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
The 23-year-old who's based in north Devon, | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
seen here in orange, was unseated from Tea | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
for Two at the second fence to end her dream of making history. | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
Somerset trainer Colin Tizzard had better luck. | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
Despite seeing one of his two horses fall at the third to last, | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
his other, Native River, finished the race in third. | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
Exeter Chiefs' winger Jack Nowell has had to settle | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
for a place on the bench for England's Six Nations Grand Slam | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
And there'll be more drama on Sunday when the south west takes | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
The Chiefs are in their third consecutive Anglo-Welsh Cup | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
final against the Tigers and the Plymouth Raiders face | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
the Riders in basketball's BBL Trophy final. | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
When you're a 6ft 7" basketball player, Sandy Park is a good place | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
to find someone you can talk to eye to eye, about the | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
I'm from Sydney Australia. I'm from Detroit, Michigan. And I'll be | :17:21. | :17:34. | |
playing against Leicester Tigers in the Anglo Welsh cup. I'll be playing | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
for the Plymouth Raiders against the Leicester Tigers. What's going on, | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
man? It's a crazy place. It's pretty cool. With the final coming up with | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
pretty excited. Likewise, man. | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
Will your boys be nervous? You know how it is, big game but we are ready | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
for it. How have they been going this season? Leicester? They've been | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
pretty good. Top of the table right now. We took it into overtime. An | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
awesome game on Sunday? Yeah, you've got Leicester to? Yeah, the boys are | :18:20. | :18:29. | |
pretty excited. A tough match. Everyone is pumped. We're looking | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
forward to it. Nervous but excited. How are you mentally preparing for | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
it yourself? I take it easy, to be honest. All systems go, hopefully. | :18:40. | :18:51. | |
Absolutely, man. When you were in New Zealand did you get a chance to | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
play? Lets see what I've got, man. All right. You've been practising! | :18:57. | :19:08. | |
On the other side. No, no, let's see what you got with this. Let me see | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
you move. I'll! And don't forget you can | :19:12. | :19:23. | |

closer to automatic promotion to League One when they welcome | :19:46. | :19:48. | |

the Pilgrims are ten points clear Exeter City and Luton Town are two | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
of teams in that chasing pack and they face each | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
other in Bedfordshire. Yeovil host Accrington | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
in the other game in League Two. And before I go, just a quick update | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
on 13-year-old Siam Juntakeret, from Bodmin, who's trying to become | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
the fastest child to cycle almost He's nearly half way | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
there as he starts his third week and about to hit the hardest part | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
of the challenge, We're hoping to speak to him soon | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
to see how he's doing. They have been flying the skies | :20:19. | :20:27. | |
of the South West for decades but today the Royal Navy's Lynx | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
helicopters began saying goodbye. They were based on Portland | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
in Dorset before moving to Yeovilton Today the aircraft, which saw action | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
in the Falklands in both Gulf Wars, retraced their history flying | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
between some of their former bases before they're decommissioned | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
at the end of the month. Laurence Herdman | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
watched from Portland. Airborne for one final time, a | :20:56. | :21:09. | |
diamond formation matching a polished history. Everything | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
meticulous, just as it always has been. To Portland, than a hop to | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
Hampshire. The joy of this aircraft, it does a little bit of everything. | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
Load lifting, winching, it's got weaponry, anti-submarine weapons, | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
anti surface weapons. It's PIE in the sky, search and rescue, troop | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
movement. It's one of the fastest helicopters in the world, it's very, | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
very capable. It's so manoeuvrable. Every responses fell to do the | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
aircraft. It manoeuvres just how you wanted | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
to. Defence cuts in the 90s prompted a move to Yeovil town in Somerset, | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
away from Portland, but the Lynx response remained undeterred. From | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
the waters of the South Atlantic to the sands of the Persian Gulf, the | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Lynx has flown its colours in three modern-day wars, for many bringing | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
memories flooding back including one useful person. It seemed everyone | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
wanted to stray the milestone. Most had a story to tell. Some of | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
the memories I've got our fun memories. Fun memories. Of working | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
with the boys, the aircrew, and it was brilliant. | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
It really was good. It's a wonderful helicopter that served the country | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
for 41 years. You have to say farewell to it. It's so sad we don't | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
have anything to replace it. It's a special day. Portland is only a | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
station with a family atmosphere anyway because of its heritage with | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
the wasp. There was always that community. But small is station. | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
This high-speed multirole here to helicopter rose to all its | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
challenges. It made the goodbye to be Lynx from Portland, but exciting | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
new adventures beckon. And still some signs of those Lynx | :23:18. | :23:30. | |
helicopters on Portland. The end of any row. Some grey skies there, but | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
David, a gorgeous sunrise behind you? Is it getting better? | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
You are so optimistic! No, it's not. Hello, good evening. This was this | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
morning in Dorset. A glorious sunrise in Dorset. Some nice blue | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
skies in Lyme Regis. Actually, it's worked out quite well, a decent bit | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
of sunshine. These guys have been greyer further west. In court while | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
these cloud arrived swiftly. That's what's going to happen this weekend. | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
The cloud sticks with us. Limited blues guys. Not much opportunity for | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
sunrises or sunsets. Cloudy, breezy, rain at times. Some of the rain | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
heavy tomorrow morning. It will ease away. Dried on Sunday. A great train | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
of cloud stretches from us right across the Atlantic as far as the | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
eastern seaboard of the United States, and its of cloud that is | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
being steered towards us over the weekend. A couple of weather fronts | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
trickle in and out across the United Kingdom, sometimes Kingdom, | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
sometimes north, sometimes sounds, all the while keeping as cloudy. | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
Eventually, this weather front will clear the south coast. How quickly | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
that happens on Monday is uncertain. Behind it, from the north-west, is | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
colder air. Mild air and fake cover of cloud across the South West of | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
England. It's starting to introduce outbreaks of rain. This was Central | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
Park where our cameraman was trying to catch a glimpse up towards | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
Plymouth Sound. If you hold in that cloud but it's become quite | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
extensive. If you find spots of drizzle arriving in this part of | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
Devon. At least the fly are about, and a bit of moisture want to the | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
farms all farmers any harm at all. It is going to be breezy, westerly | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
winds. Some more persistent rain at times overnight and do tomorrow. It | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
will be mild, temperature of overnight between eight and 10 | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
degrees. Tomorrow, an overcast day, outbreaks of rain, the rain begins | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
to move away in the afternoon. Drier conditions in the second half of the | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
day. Westerly winds, temperatures shouldn't fall below ten or 11 | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
degrees. Around Torbay, quite across the Somerset levels being quite mild | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
despite the rain and wind. That's the forecast for the Isles of | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Scilly. It may brighten up a little bit, windy with she was in the | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
morning, brighter still the afternoon. There's times of high | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
water along the south coast, 749 and 2009. And for servers, earlier this | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
week we had some lovely serve, now the winds are strong, limited | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
opportunities for anything clean. Most of the beaches along the north | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
coast will be messy, big waves, between six and eight feet. Here is | :26:51. | :27:04. | |
the coastal waters forecast: Outlook is little change. Sunday, the cloud | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
not quite so dark, still a lot of cloud for much of the weekend. Winds | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
aren't quite so strong on Sunday. Then Matt weather front I talked | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
about on Monday will arrive in the morning, more persistent and | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
widespread rain, that will go through at some point later in the | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
day and introduces colder air. Next week it's somewhat fresher. But also | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
brighter. Have a nice weekend. We'll cling on to what hope we can. | :27:31. | :27:38. | |
We are back as part of the News At Ten. Join Us Then. Be good goodbye. | :27:39. | :27:51. | |
It was the most beautiful view I've ever been through. | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
For one second, I was swimming on my back, and I was looking to the sky. | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
I was swimming across the Aegean Sea. | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
I was a refugee, going from Syria to Germany. | :28:08. | :28:21. | |
This is my life, my career! I did not frame him. | :28:22. | :28:22. | |
