Good evening welcome to Spotlight - tonight, a service | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We don't know whether we have money to pay the wages, normally we manage | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
but we are treading water. There is no money left over and we are not | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
the only ones. The struggle of southwest care | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
agencies. We're in Cornwall where some home | :00:22. | :00:22. | |
care companies are having to pay out Meanwhile disbelief and distress | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
on the Isles of Scilly as its only On this small island we will not | :00:27. | :00:41. | |
even have a house to look after people that cannot look after | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
themselves. We'll report from St | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Mary's as people ask how the elderly and vulnerable will be | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
looked after in future. on the south Devon coast - | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
the humpback bringing And laying bare his disability; | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Kevin French hopes posing naked will help others learn | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
about his condition. The home care system in Cornwall | :01:03. | :01:22. | |
is on the brink of collapse. The warning as owners of some | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
of the south west's care agencies say they only keep going by dipping | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
into their own pockets. The warning is echoed | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
by a national report out today which calls for a complete shift | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
in the way home care is run. In a moment we'll be speaking | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
to the report's author but first Denis Nightingale looks | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
at the situation in Cornwall. Tonight at six, the funding crisis | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
in social care services... It is one of the biggest | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
crises facing the UK... Tonight, home care | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
companies in crisis... Home care companies have warned | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
of a funding crisis... Never far from the headlines, but | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
there is a new side to this story. One report today claims the care | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
system nationally is no longer I have been told one company | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
after another providing home care in Cornwall dipped | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
into their own pockets Of four providers, they all said | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
they were struggling financially I love coming in to help people | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
daily and seeing different people. Being able to be that person that | :02:19. | :02:32. | |
keeps them in their own home. Cornwall Council says it agreed | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
its prices after negotiations. But the owner of domiciliary care | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
in Camborne says she is one of many That is putting the home care | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
system under real threat. We are literally just treading | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
water, there is no money left over and I'm sure we're not the only ones | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
and I hear it among other colleagues 59-year-old Jan Radley helps look | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
after her father, Terry. Three daily care visits | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
keep him at home. I didn't like the idea of my dad | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
going into a care home at all. And the care that they give | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
enables my dad to stay at home. In response to worries | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
about the future, Cornwall Council says it is trying to spend its money | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
more cleverly with a 10-year plan on making sure care and support | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
is available at home or as close To promote independence | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
and social inclusion. People take their last breath | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
and it is good to know those people went with somebody there next | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
to them, even if their family couldn't be there, at least | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
we could be there and that Well, the Local Government | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Information Network is a think tank which has been studying the strains | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
on the home care system. Its chief executive | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Jonathan Carr-West joins us now. The report paints a stark picture | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
describing home care as on the brink of collapse, what has brought it to | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
that point? A systemic problem dating back four years with | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
underinvestment, lack of innovation in home care continually cutting | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
costs by squeezing the workforce, paying people less and less and at | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
the root of this is a system whereby we separate out health and care and | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
we value the NHS and we see careers and look up to nurses and doctors | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
and yet care is left unprotected, budgets are cut and those careers | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
are not esteemed. While we have this separation between what our two | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
parts of the same hole, care and health, while we have the separation | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
the system continues to fail. The government said in the budget more | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
money would go into social care but said there will be a major review of | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
how this care is delivered, what needs to come out of the review, | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
what needs to change? It is welcome to get any extra money but the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
money, ?2 billion over three years is half of what we need. It is a | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
sticking plaster. The government acknowledges this saying there is a | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Green paper looking at the system long-term, there are a number of | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
things that needs to be done, personal Finance, supporting people | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
to save to pay for care because anyone with assets over ?21,000 has | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
to pay for their own care, it needs to look at how we shipped the system | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
in commissioning so we focus on outcomes not just time people spend, | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
it needs to think about using new technologies and smart technologies | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
to make care more effective and efficient and most of all, it needs | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
to think about creating single budgets, single pool is we can | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
commission from so local authorities are able to work across the system | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
to keep people healthy and independent. And this is against a | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
backdrop of the emphasis shifting closer towards people being cared | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
for in their own home, to ease pressure on hospitals. How will that | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
be achieved if the system is at the point of collapse? We will not | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
achieve that unless we are able to move money out of hospitals and into | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
homes. You can do that by realising savings, keeping people at home, | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
stopping hospital admissions that is better for people, it is what people | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
want and prefer but it is cheaper so we need a way which you can use | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
savings to pay them back into the system to invest in better | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
preventative measures. Thank you very much. | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
The families of people living at the Isle of Scilly's only care | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
home say they fear for their loved ones if they have to | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
The island's council says it's taken the difficult decision to close it | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
because it's not been able to recruit staff for the future. | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
Our Cornwall reporter Christine Butler reports from Scilly. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
Both part of the heart and in the hearts of this island community. | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
Providing care for its residents, reassurance for their families. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Clients of Park House have two months to find somewhere else | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
to live and be cared for with the shock announcement | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
And to me it is losing a family, splitting up my family. | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
It is making them out of reach, making them need me. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
And that is the most heartbreaking of all, | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
to think that somebody that has looked after you in your hour | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
of need or brought you up and you have looked up to is not | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
going to be there when they need you. | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
The Council on the Isles of Scilly say it has taken the difficult | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
decision to close Park House by the beginning of June because it | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
has not been able to recruit enough staff for the future. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Care will continue to be provided in people's own homes. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
A lot of people that are in here, the relatives at home work, | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
they have got to give up work to look after the relatives | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
And if they are sent over to the mainland to nursing | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
homes on the mainland, how can the relatives | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
It is so expensive getting backwards and forwards. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
And some of the older people I would think that | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
I think it is tragic that in this small island we are not even | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
going to have a house to look after people that cannot | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
Rumours of problems at Park House has been bandied | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
But no one believed it would come to this. | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
Christine Butler reporting there - and this afternoon Christine's | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
been at a public meeting about the closure of Park House. | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
The Isles of Scilly is used to storms and in the town hall behind | :08:53. | :09:01. | |
me there is a storm brewing. I have never seen such a packed meeting | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
room before, so much that people cannot get through to the doors. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
Ashley Beck the director of adult social care is confronted by a huge | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
amount of islanders and she's explaining why Park house | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
residential home has to close. She says it is not about funding, they | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
have had an increase in the amount of money on social care to up to ?1 | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
million, it is about recruiting staff to come and work at the | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
residential home. Some people felt why hadn't this been brought up six | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
months ago, why was a decision only made public now? This should be made | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
public six months ago, if you knew this was on the cards, you should | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
have made public. She appealed to the islanders to come up with ideas, | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
solutions, anything that might prevent Park house from closing. I | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
will ask you to come back to me if you have any ideas to keep this care | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
home going because I don't want anybody in Park house to move. She | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
made assurances that if any of the residents in Parkhouse had to be | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
accommodated on the mainland, they would only go into outstanding care | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
homes and their muddy funding to pay for relatives to visit the loved | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
ones. We hope to get an interview with Ashley Hicks for the late news | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
tonight at 10:28pm. Now a round up of | :10:44. | :10:45. | |

already voted against the move but are now looking | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
at whether the public Exeter City Council's ruling Labour | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
group is being questioned tonight over delays in the redevelopment | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
of the city's bus station. Tory opposition councillors have | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
called an emergency meeting after the 32 million pound scheme, | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
which includes a leisure centre, was put on hold and the project | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
management company was sacked. You may remember a few weeks ago | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
we reported that a whale had been Well it's thought the humpback | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
is still in Start Bay and people from all over the UK are continuing | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
to head to the coast In a moment I'll be asking | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
a marine expert how But first Emma Thomasson reports | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
on on how local businsesses are benefiting from a rise in trade | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
as news of the whale spreads. And people are flocking to the south | :12:17. | :12:29. | |
Devon coast in the hope of spotting the humpback whale just like this | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
near Berry Head. We can't resist just coming to see | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
if it's going to be around and to see what photos we can get | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
and all that sort of thing. Because it's not supposed to be here | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
and it's such a wonderful animal. It is quite a buzz because it is | :12:45. | :12:56. | |
unusual to see it so close to the UK coast. An amazing feeling. Not | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
everyone has been so lucky. I was in a B and it was seen there but no. | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
I was supposed to be home hours ago and I thought I can't, not now. Not | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
when it is due and if I leave somebody will say it was seen at | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
5pm! They're saying, we've come | :13:17. | :13:29. | |
all the way down from Bristol, from Birmingham, somebody came | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
down from Manchester. When I was in New Zealand I | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
spent a lot of money going whale-watching - | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
didn't see anything. I can walk down, half a mile | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
from home, and there's a really good chance of seeing the humpback whale | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
in the bay. Pete's seen a rise in bookings | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
since the whale was first spotted, and he is one of a number | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
of businesses benefiting I've been here for 40 years | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
and never seen one in the bay, and we've also had porpoises | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
and gannets diving and a seal. And, yeah, the bay is | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
absolutely thriving, it's absolutely full | :13:57. | :13:57. | |
of life, it's wonderful. Well, I've been here for three hours | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
now and, sadly, no joy. And I have to admit it is strangely | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
addictive, so I can really see why so many people are flocking | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
to South Devon in the hope that they'll catch | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
a glimpse of the whale. When Emma turns up, the whale | :14:09. | :14:21. | |
is nowhere to be seen. Well, joining me now is James Wright | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
from the National Marine Aquarium. This is making business boom in the | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
area so it is quite unusual. Whale watching is big business in other | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
parts of the world, they have a reliable population and this is more | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
sporadic and unexpected. Have we had one here before? There are humpbacks | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
around the UK coast land, 1500 years ago there were more, whaling was a | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
big business many years ago which have a dramatic effect on the | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
population. The worldwide population was 120000 and the numbers dwindled | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
into the thousands. The global population is back up at 80,000. We | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
may see the effect of the reproduction occurring overprotected | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
years. It is a spectacular sight and lovely to glimpse a view. There were | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
many worries it was so close to the shoreline, what is their normal way | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
of being out in the sea, this is unusual? Yes, they do migrate. They | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
move to cold waters where they catch smaller fish to feed on and they | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
move to warmer waters when their calves are born. It is not unusual | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
to have them close to the shoreline. It is not that surprising in those | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
areas however here it is surprising, normally be expected the four or | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
five on the Scottish islands. Could be in trouble or distress? I don't | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
believe so, they can be occasions where this happens and there are | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
videos on the internet where people rescue Wales that are caught in | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
fishing gear or lost fishing gear or purposely laid and they can | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
sometimes rescue them but the fact it has been around three weeks and | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
it has gone away and come back, it is quite enjoying the area. He likes | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
it here! And the wail in the North died washed up on the shoreline, is | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
there a risk? There are many whales out there. People will be quite | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
surprised that Wales around the shoreline naturally and sharks as | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
well. We cannot see them but are there. The dead whale could have | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
died miles and miles away and drifted onto the shore. Thank you. | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
Now to one man's mission to help people better understand disability. | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
But as Clare Jones now reports, he's using his new role as a nude | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
Since birth he has lived with cerebral palsy and a speech | :17:01. | :17:12. | |
problem, but he won't let that stop him. | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
I was the first severely disabled person to do a Dance Theatre BA | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
Presently, I am studying for a Masters in Performance Training. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
Kevin communicates with an iPad, by using his nose or a head pointer. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
My speech is my biggest problem because, not being able | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
to verbally communicate, most people think I'm mentally | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
challenged and I don't know what I'm doing. | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
When people take the time to engage with me, they find out who I am. | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
Kevin has become a life model to use his nudity | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
When I am dancing or life modelling I am expressing who I am. | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
That I am intelligent, creative, sensitive and fully | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
I am focusing on movement, nudity and my disability gives me great | :17:59. | :18:15. | |
body definition. He is determined not to let his disability get in the | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
wake me run for parliament, travelled around the world and... In | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
the future I hope to get my masters, do a Ph.D. And make more close | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
friends. It hasn't always been easy. I understand I challenge many people | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
and their perceptions of disability. To my amazement, many artists and | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
even lecturers have problems with a disabled life model. Kevin's view is | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
life is for living. If one persons view of what I can do is altered | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
positive leak, it is a small victory in the battle to be accepted. -- | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
positively. A Plymouth theatre built with war | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
damage compensation in 1961, has risen up once again | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
and will reopen as another major The Athenaeum was moth-balled eight | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
years ago but is undergoing a make over so it can stage professional | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
entertainment once more. Its opening show 'Dracula' | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
is a family comedy preformed by the South West troop Le Navet | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
Bete. Johnny Rutherford joined | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
in on rehearsals. I am in the story. Where is the | :19:15. | :19:33. | |
patient? This woman needs a stake through the heart. Get me a stake. | :19:34. | :19:45. | |
Restrain her. Stop, stop! We cannot have killing on the BBC. It is | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
professional theatre like this which we are seeing more of in Plymouth. | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
It is a chance for us to reach a larger audience in Plymouth. We have | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
had an incredible run at the Barbican but it is only 140 seater | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
so for us to be able to grow and there is demand for our work in | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Plymouth, we have to be able to move to a bigger venue. The theatre seats | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
340 and it went dark as the stage was said to be draining the charity | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
funds. Now in partnership with the Barbican, it hopes to be in | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
Plymouth's limelight again. It is a growing interest in culture and | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
people are now willing to experiment and have a go at unusual things so I | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
would like to see dance, comedy, and live literature works. The initial | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
stage shows will be professional lead shows with the Barbican Theatre | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
but hopefully as we make the theatre more sustainable, we can allow the | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
local companies to come back and enjoy it as they did. It takes me | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
back because I remember acting on this stage Jesus Christ superstar, | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
West side story and even a Star Trek rip-off and the stage I remember | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
revolved but that is rare in the south-west. Dracula opens at the end | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
of the month. And then on to the theatre. More work! | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Twelve of the largest stones from the last of Dorset's open cast | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
mines have been put together to create a unique art installation. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
The project, on Portland, has taken three years | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
to create and has been paid for by the arts council. | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
Geologists and mathematicians have helped place the stones, | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
weighing up to 22 tonnes each, so they celebrate | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
both the landscape, the solstice and the equinox. | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
The Stones actually create vistas out of the landscape and they also | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
throw shadows into the centre and people will be able to read | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
information from pools of light within the stone shadows so you'll | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
be able to read the landscape through the stone. | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
Now what would you do with seven hundred thousand pounds? | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
People who live in the west Somerset village of Porlock are being asked | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
for advice on how to spend what has been described as a "jaw | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
The money has been left in a will to benefit | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
And as Clinton Rogers reports, now they have to decide | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
As recreation grounds go, it is all ready pretty impressive. | :22:31. | :22:46. | |
Now imagine you have nearly three quarters | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
It is such a big amount of money and... | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
Something amazing for the kids, maybe. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Probably build a swimming pool or something, that | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
The public will get their say because 1200 letters have been | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
delivered to people living in the area asking for ideas on how | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
to spend the money left to them by a lady called Susan Taylor. | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
You know one of the more intriguing things about this story is very | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
We have not met anyone who knew her well, we don't | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
What we know is she was in her late 90s when she died in December | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
and apparently she had no surviving children and so the bulk | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
of her estate was left to the Recreation Ground | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
And can you imagine the surprise of those in charge of this | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
area when they were told there was a legacy for them? | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
When he came to see me and told me what the amount would be, | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
?700,000 and possibly more, it was just jaw-dropping. | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
It will be several months before the final decision is made | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
but one thing is certain, Porlock is about to get one | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
of the best recreation grounds in the south-west. | :24:10. | :24:22. | |
Incredible story. Time for the weather forecast. It was sunny and | :24:23. | :24:32. | |
then real downpours. Four seasons in one day. Nice in places but also | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
quite bad. We have had a variety and some sunshine as well, not all bad | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
news. You have been taking your pictures. A lovely shot of the | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
beautiful blue sky. Little clouds to sport the sunshine but elsewhere a | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
rainbow in Lyme Regis with heavy showers and more to come. The | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
showers continue this evening and overnight. Tomorrow, less windy, and | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
there will be showers around but slow-moving so you may get a | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
torrential downpour and the risk of thunder and hail but also some | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
sunshine to enjoy. Perhaps some of us getting away with a largely dry | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
day tomorrow. The showers of one village but hitting the next. You | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
can see we have speckled cloud around low-pressure, there is white | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
as well so some snow on Dartmoor, the possibility of snow overnight | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
tonight, it will not stick around and will melt through the day if it | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
falls at all. Low-pressure settled across us and then moves south into | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
Friday -- into France giving easterly wind towards the end of the | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
week. The easterly wind may have cloud associated as well so the | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
chance of a few more showers with the easterly wind which generally | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
gives dry weather. The showers Papa western Britain, there is a line of | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
cloud approaching giving more persistent rain later tonight. -- | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
peppering. There was some sunshine and showers in Plymouth earlier, | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
some lovely shots from a cameraman and it felt quite pleasant but a | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
chop in a Plymouth Sound and the breeze has been quite strong across | :26:24. | :26:32. | |
the south-west. We lose the first weather front coming into night, | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
that will have gale force winds and as it travels through the | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
south-west, a dusting of snow on higher ground like Exmoor Dartmoor | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
and the wind will drop, the sky is more clear and it will turn quite | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
chilly. It is quite cold and temperature as could be as low as | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
two or 4 degrees. Tomorrow, a cloudy day, the sunshine will come through | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
and the showers while widespread will be slow-moving and isolated so | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
lengthy spells of sunshine in between the showers, not overly | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
warm, seven or 9 degrees. It will feel warmer with light wind. A | :27:14. | :27:22. | |
largely fine and dry day on the Isles of Scilly. Have a good | :27:23. | :27:36. | |
evening. Claire has the late news at 10:30pm and an update on the meeting | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
about the threat to a care home in the Isles of Scilly. We are back | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
tomorrow. Good night. | :27:43. | :27:45. |
