I would like to see national Insurance repurposed as a health and | :00:07. | :00:19. | |
social care insurance. We'll hear why Devon MP | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Sarah Wollaston wants a ring-fenced fund, as a former MP says income tax | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
will have to rise. Also tonight - the grande dame | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
of the naval fleet sails back in. HMS Ocean returns to | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Devonport following its They have changed my life and so | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
many other families' lives. On Red Nose Day, how one South West | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
charity is making a difference And rising to the occasion to raise | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
money - we're back in the kitchen, where the judging of cake baking | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
doesn't get tougher than this. How do you tackle the problems | :00:54. | :01:12. | |
being faced by the NHS? One Devon MP who's also chairman | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
of the Commons Health Committee She's suggesting ring-fencing money | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
which will be solely Dr Sarah Wollaston says | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
National Insurance could be used specifically to fund health | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
and social care. Her comments come as a former MP | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
in Cornwall says people need to face the harsh reality that an income-tax | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
rise is the only way Emergency departments throughout | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
England have just come through one More patients have been treated | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
than at any time in NHS history. At the same time, there has been | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
a fierce row about spending. Now a former MP for St Ives says | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
the public need to hear If we are being honest with people, | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
being honest with the public, a 2p increase in tax, | :02:03. | :02:15. | |
or up to 2p increase in tax, would be necessary | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
in order to save the NHS. In the Budget earlier this month, | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Chancellor Philip Hammond said the Conservatives were funding | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
the NHS with a ?10 billion One of the Conservative Party's | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
own MPs, who also happens to be chair of the Health Select | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
Committee, says it is time the NHS was directly funded | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
from ringfenced taxes. I think there is much more support | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
for these kind of taxes if people know where it is going, | :02:40. | :02:52. | |
so I actually do think is a good idea and I would | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
like to see National Insurance repurposed as a health and social | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
care insurance and for that The Treasury is yet to respond, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
but this year the Government can expect to raise more money | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
through National Insurance With me now is our political editor. | :03:09. | :03:21. | |
How likely is it that some kind of dedicated health tax could be | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
implemented? Sarah Williston is not alone, the former head of the NHS | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
has said they support the idea of a ring-fenced tax. But the Treasury | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
tends not to like this kind of thing, so that is an obstacle. If | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
you divert a chunk of existing taxation to the NHS, clearly some of | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
that money will have to come from somewhere else. Can you imagine the | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
government saying, we will spend more on the NHS but, for example, | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
take it from schools? Hence this proposal from the Lib Dems that | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
taxation overall needs to go up. But of course that will prove very | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
unpopular as well. The Lib Dems have made great play of this being very | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
difficult but we have to be realistic and grasp the nettle. I | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
interviewed two MPs, conservative Neil Harris and labour's Ben | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
Bradshaw, and they both said, yes, we agree that taxation needs to go | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
up to support the NHS. Here is Ben Bradshaw. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
You have to look at everything, whether it's a combination of income | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
or National Insurance tax, more sin taxes like the sugar tax | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
that the health committee recommended and has now been adopted | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
by the government, already been very successful at reducing sugar useful. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Any ideas as to where they should come from? | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
Well, you can think of a number of things, fat, sugar, salt, | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
I think that the public would accept that perhaps more than income tax, | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
and I don't think we should rule out the idea that we had | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
when we were in government, for social care, of some kind | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
So the idea that this will be more popular if it falls on a specific | :05:12. | :05:24. | |
area or the proceeds will be directed at a specific area. How | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
attractive that will be to offer to the public at the general election | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
remains to be seen. The debate continues this weekend | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
on the Sunday Politics at 11am on BBC One, when Martyn's guests | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
will be Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw, and Tiverton | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
and Honiton MP Neil Parrish. A roundup now of other | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
stories making the news A former Royal Marine from Somerset | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
jailed for the fatal shooting of a Taliban fighter in Afghanistan | :05:47. | :05:52. | |

Appeal Court have been urged to free Sergeant Alexander Blackman | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
from prison following the reduction of his murder | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
conviction to manslaughter. Police are appealing for witnesses | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
after a number of objects were placed on the railway line | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
in Devon, causing damage to trains. The latest incident this week | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
involved a train hitting a traffic sign at 65mph that was placed | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
on the line at Lapford Two new operators will soon be | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
running bus services in Torbay. It follows the announcement last | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
month that "Local Link" was pulling out of the fare element | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
of their business in April. Most of the threatened routes will | :06:32. | :06:41. | |
now be replaced or covered by other services. | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
The RNLI has released dramatic footage of this week's rescue | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
operation to free a whale caught in fishing nets and lines. | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Crowds had gathered to watch the whale at Start Bay | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
in South Devon, which has been putting in a regular appearance | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
A number of businesses in Weymouth are refusing to pay a levy | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
for the business improvement district, known as BID. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
The money, that is in addition to their rates, is used for projects | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
The schemes exist across the country and have paid for everything | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
from additional policing to better signage. | :07:15. | :07:15. | |
In Weymouth some members claim the BID team isn't doing | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
enough to promote the town and that the money isn't | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
But elsewhere in the region, BID schemes are being described | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Thousands of people pack into Falmouth for Falmouth Week, | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
one of the highlights of the town's festival calendar, and this is just | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Falmouth is now a Business Improvement District. | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
Once a town has adopted a BID scheme, local businesses | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
In Falmouth the money's being used to promote events, advertising, | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
signage and town improvements and the council says it has | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
We've been able to extend our events programme now through the year, | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
there's always something to do in Falmouth, there's | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
always something to see, and the other thing is that the town | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
is always busy, the shops are always active. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Local businesses say BID has brought everybody together and it works. | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
We're all very proud of Falmouth and the more all of our businesses | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
and institutions can link together, the more vibrant our town becomes, | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
and the better destination it is for visitors to come. | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
And Falmouth has changed so much in the last five years under | :08:20. | :08:30. | |
the BID process that it has now won an award for the best | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
High Street in a coastal town in the whole of the UK. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
But 150 miles down the coast in Weymouth not all | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
Although they think in principle BIDs are a good idea, they say it's | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
not working well here as those running it are not doing enough | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
This year some of us have decided not to pay the levy and go to court. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
First and foremost we would like them to listen to us. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
We went to the very first AGM, there were lots | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
and lots of questions, some were answered, some weren't. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
The second AGM, they didn't let us ask questions, they said | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
The third AGM, many of us didn't bother to go. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
The BID manager for Weymouth has defended their record, | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
saying they have done a lot to promote the town, | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
including a Christmas festival and a seafood Festival, | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
but these business owners say they have witnessed BID's success | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
in other towns and now they want a slice of the action. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
The Royal Navy's largest warship, HMS Ocean, has returned home | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
after a six-month deployment in the Mediterranean and Gulf. | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Hundreds of family members were at Devonport Naval Base | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
to welcome the ship and their loved ones home. | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
The helicopter carrier and assault ship's crew of 500 now | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
have a period of leave before Ocean makes one final deployment | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
prior to being taken out of service next year. | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
Picking up where they left off, families reunited after more | :09:51. | :10:00. | |
It has been a long six and a half months away. | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
Especially without seeing the little ones and stuff. | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
Two weeks and I ended up having to move house | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
and had another baby, so now I will carry | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
This had been Ocean's longest deployment, and one of her last. | :10:22. | :10:35. | |
The helicopter carrier and amphibious assault ship is due to be | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
It is the penultimate deployment for HMS Ocean based | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
However, we have a follow-on deployment after this and we will be | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
sailing later in the year, so actually we're busy preparing | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
for that, believe it or not, even though we've come home today. | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
The Prime Minister, Theresa May, visited HMS Ocean during a trip | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
For the crew, after a tour which has taken them thousands | :10:54. | :11:07. | |
of miles around the Med and the Gulf, there | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
Missed your birthday, missed Christmas. | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
We will be having Christmas when we go back as well now. | :11:13. | :11:22. | |
Lovely scenes, I love the family who are now going to have Christmas. I | :11:23. | :11:44. | |
hope it is a happy Christmas. A look at how Comic Relief | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
is making a difference The young rugby side which has | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
secured a match at Twickenham. This weekend the clocks spring | :11:50. | :12:04. | |
forward one hour and I think we will probably get some spring weather, | :12:05. | :12:05. | |
even some sunshine. Now, you can't have missed that | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
today is Red Nose day. It's organised by Comic Relief | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
and is all about raising money Many charities across | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
the South West benefit One of them is Pete's Dragons, | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
which helps people who've lost Spotlight's Andrea | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
Ormsby has the story. Life has been very tough | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
for 18-year-old India Sanderson Last year, two of her | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
friends killed themselves. I was just in a state | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
of shock all the time. I didn't really know | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
what I was doing, I was just kind of going through day to day just | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
confused and I couldn't concentrate and I was just so emotional as well | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
because I realised it could happen to anyone and especially | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
because you do not know what is happening on the inside | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
and I worried for my family, for my closer friends, | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
anything could happen. Her counselling here with Alison has | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
been helping but it really came into its own a few weeks ago, | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
when a member of India's family also That helped so much, | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
because I could have been so much worse than I was when my two friends | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
committing suicide, but just knowing that Alison was here, | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
and I'd already learned some of the coping strategies already, | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
that it helped me a lot, and because I learned those | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
strategies I could help my family. So have you been practising | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
your mindfulness? Alison set up the charity after her | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
brother, Pete, killed himself. Now Pete's Dragons is | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
getting busier and busier. What we have found this year | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
is we are picking up historical cases where because we are the first | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
specific suicide bereavement support group in Devon and we have | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
approximately 86 suicides a year consistently, we are picking up | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
historical cases as well where people just haven't had any | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
support and they have lost a loved Just knowing that there's somebody | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
there who has been through the same thing and understands the bizarre, | :14:10. | :14:19. | |
you know, the guilt, the pain, Last year, Comic Relief provided | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
crucial funding for the charity. Please do get involved | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
with Comic Relief. I can say that their funding has | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
made an enormous difference to the face of this charity | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
and what we are able to offer. They've really changed my life | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
and the lives of so many other families and they deserve every | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
penny that they get from funding To run the service this year | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
alone, Pete's Dragons One of the charities to benefit | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
from Comic Relief money. And later we'll see how | :14:53. | :15:07. | |
teams from Spotlight, Radio Devon and Radio Cornwall got | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
on as they took part It's time for the sport now | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
and Andy's here with news of a top Promotion isn't enough, | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
Plymouth Argyle still have their sights set on winning | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
League Two. While Exeter City take on neighbours | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
Yeovil Town on Saturday, Plymouth's trip to Doncaster sees | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
the division's top two The hosts may have the best home | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
record in the league, but it won't worry the Pilgrims, | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
who happen to have However they'll need to be | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
at their best and the return to form of playmaker Graham Carey in recent | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
weeks couldn't have You know, I've won the title | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
twice in Scotland so I'd like to try and do it | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
in England as well. You know, the players | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
are all focused on that as well, so we need to go to Doncaster | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
and win the match to push on. Doncaster's football team may be | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
at home but their rugby players will be making the long journey down | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
to Penzance for their In the Premiership, | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
the Exeter Chiefs will be looking to put the disappointment of last | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
week's Anglo Welsh Cup final behind them when they welcome | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
the Sale Sharks to Sandy Park. The Chiefs will no doubt have happy | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
memories of the last time the two sides met just before Christmas | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
when they ran out convincing Of course another boost | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
for the Exeter faithful is the return of England winger Jack | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Nowell. It will only be our fault | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
if we do let it slip now, because at the end of the day | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
we don't have to chase anyone, we're up there, we just need to keep | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
on picking up points where we can. So it's another good chance | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
for us to show what we're While the Chiefs look well set | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
for another final in May, one school from the South West has | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
already booked their The Thomas Hardye School | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
hammered their opponents in the last four of the National Schools Vase | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
competition on Saturday and next week they head to rugby HQ in London | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
to try and bring the trophy They are friends on and off | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
the field and they celebrate together reaching a Twickenham | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
final. Today it was back to school, | :17:17. | :17:17. | |
and on Wednesday the lads will swap these gates for the gates at rugby | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
headquarters as they share They will be far from a madding | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
crowd but it's not about that. Staff are stopping me | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
in the corridors and The kids are getting | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
pats on the back. Everybody wants to come | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
with us next Wednesday. We're taking one coach, | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
not everyone can come. But, yeah, everybody wants | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
a little part of it. It's a first for the school to send | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
a team to Twickenham and following the emphatic victory | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
in the semifinal confidence is high. It is a team of mates | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
and everybody knows their job. Just shouting at them | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
and keeping them going. I've kind of just pictured walking | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
out through the tunnel, just with the massive stadium, | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
it's sort of hard to focus on anything else | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
really at the moment. It is an excellent carry | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
by number eight John Stewart. Obviously I'm not trying to be cocky | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
or anything but I think if we could play how we play day in, | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
day out, we will be OK. The number eight may marshal | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
the forward pack but the backs also possess some special talent | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
and in fly-half Orlando Bailey Despite a sparkling performance | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
in the semifinal capped off by a hat-trick of tries, | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
the playmaker remains humble. Yes, it's obviously great doing it | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
for my mates because we're all such a close bunch, | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
and to sort of go out and do it for each other, | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
it's what it's all about, really. So the big question, is running out | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
on the hallowed turf enough or does We've come this far, | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
we want to win now. Of course it does matter | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
because it makes that memory You don't want to go | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
to Twickenham and lose. Obviously it's amazing to still play | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
there but to win there, If you can't wait until tomorrow | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
for your sport, the Plymouth Raiders match against the Bristol Flyers | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
is being shown live Tip-off at the Pavilions | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
is just after 7.30. Let's hope they can bounce | :19:20. | :19:32. | |
back in style after last Today is Comic Relief 2017, | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
and yesterday we saw BBC presenters from radio and television going head | :19:35. | :19:43. | |
to head in a Great British Bake Off style Cake Off challenge | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
to raise money for charity. Their task was to make a Victoria | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
sponge, and as we saw they did that with varying | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
degrees of success. Tonight we see them baking | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
and decorating their cakes and then trying to sell them to unsuspecting | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
students and staff at The winner is the one | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
who makes the most money. But as you're about to see it wasn't | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
quite as straightforward as that. Ladies and gentlemen, | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
you should think about getting I went to look at Martin's | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
mixture, my cake's gone. BBC Radio Cornwall | :20:14. | :20:23. | |
have vanished as well. We haven't thrown it | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
away, don't worry! Last time I baked a cake | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
was when I lived with my parents! Are you still getting | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
texts from your expert? Well, it's whether I can go home | :20:42. | :21:03. | |
tonight, really, isn't it? This is a moment we never | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
thought we'd see. It will be an improvement | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
from last time. This is one of those things that | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
you think when you've seen it on the internet it's going to be | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
a really good idea, and then you actually start doing it | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
and you realise it's not a good idea because it's really | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
intricate and really fiddly. David, is there | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
something to admit here? I gave the oven a little bit | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
of a shake, it looks like it might It does have quite | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
an alarming crack in it. Well, there's only two | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
words to say to that. It's going in the | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
bottom of the cake. Firstly let me say thank you very | :21:53. | :22:13. | |
much indeed to all of our presenters for throwing themselves into this | :22:14. | :22:29. | |
task with such gusto. It's very clear that some | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
of you spend an awful lot of time in the kitchen baking, | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
some of you perhaps less so. I think the most spectacular cake | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
and I think the one that's probably It looks like fantastic fun. Mel | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
Osborne's cake looked fantastic. And in true Oscar style | :22:44. | :23:09. | |
BBC Radio Cornwall's Mel Osborne wasn't the winner | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
- it was... The whole aim of the game was to | :23:12. | :23:22. | |
sell the cake and make the most money. My cake was rubbish but I | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
sold it all! Julia looked lethal with a palette knife. Three palette | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
knives under the cake! I couldn't possibly say is. It is very nice. | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
Congratulations on your win. You shouldn't eat cake just before | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
the weather. I want to see that all eaten up by | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
the time I get back. It looks like we will see some | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
lovely weather for the afternoon. If you have jobs queued up for the | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
garden, this is the weekend to do it. You may have to wrap up more | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
warmly than looking out the window suggests because we have blue sky | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
but a keen wind from the east. It will be windy, especially tomorrow, | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
and rather chilly at night but during the daytime it will feel | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
rather pleasant out of the breeze. The cloud we have seen today is | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
melting away from us so we have high pressure coming our wafer the | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
weekend. It looks like we will see the cloud in the South sink slowly | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
away from us. -- high pressure coming our way. We are on the edge | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
of the high pressure so it squeezes the isobars are bit so it is likely | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
to be windy on Saturday and Sunday, not so much on Sunday. By the early | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
part of next week we start to see low pressure getting closer so only | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
really for the weekend and into Monday before the low pressure | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
brings more cloud. That was the cloud we saw earlier today. It looks | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
like it is breaking up quite nicely now. It will continue to move | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
westwards and the skies are largely clear tonight. Ordinarily we could | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
see a frost because of that but there is enough of a breeze to keep | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
the air moving. A few places will C temperatures close to freezing, | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
particularly for Northern Devon and parts of Somerset. -- will see | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
temperatures. Tomorrow we have a blustery day but a fine day. Plenty | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
of sunshine, in fact almost unbroken for most of us, just a bit of patchy | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
cloud floating past. Winds from the north-east or East, strong at times | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
and quite dusty, especially over the high ground of Dartmoor, Exmoor and | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
Bodmin Moor. We could get pretty good temperatures but the wind will | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
hold those down. 14, 15 possible to stub out anywhere away from the wind | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
but along the coast not so warm. -- possible just about anywhere. It | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
will be a blustery day for the Isles of Scilly, fine weather but a bit | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
breezy with a top temperature of 11 or 12. Onto the times of high water. | :26:22. | :26:35. | |
Penzance, 2:36am and 15:01pm. For the surface, not a huge wave, the | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
winds will whip up the seas are bit but most of our main surfing | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
beaches, no more than two or three feet and predominantly clean. There | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
is the coastal waters forecast, the winds from the east or north-east, | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
five to six but occasionally seven through the English Channel. | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
Generally fair with a bit of a haze. On Saturday night the clocks go | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
forward and our so I think that means we lose an hour's sleep as we | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
move into Sunday. Sunday's forecast is bright and dry, a wee bit more | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
cloud coming our way on Sunday. By Monday and Tuesday the winds start | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
to change direction, southerly and south-westerly winds and the threat | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
of a few more showers later in the day. I will have to remind myself | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
not to eat cake before I do broadcast this time. | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
It was very nice, could have done with a cup of tea. | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
From seven o'clock this evening we have more from Red Nose Day. Good | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
night. | :27:48. | :27:48. |
