dual fuel customers will go up by more than 9%. That is all from the | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Guernsey's Education Department has come in for fierce criticism at a | :00:09. | :00:58. | |
public meeting. Politicians were heckled last night as they tried to | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
defend plans to close two primary schools. Parents of pupils at St | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
Sampsons Infants and St Andrew's Primary repeatedly questioned the | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
reasons for shutting them. The States are due to debate the issue | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
later this month. Penny Elderfield was there. Can tell me how you can | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
improve on excellent? We are up there on the top. Anger... | :01:22. | :01:33. | |
Frustration... And Tears. But really just parents wanting answers about | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
why their children's schools should close. Can you tell me how actually | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
available physical spaces there are at that school? | :01:42. | :01:58. | |
Their passion was clear ` but the night did turn personal. It is | :01:59. | :02:11. | |
disgraceful, look. The headteacher of Saint Andrews would not vote in | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
favour of it. As politicians took a bashing... This is an act of | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
educational and social vandalism. And the public defended their right | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
to have their say. Absolutely right they should challenge us. It was not | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
particularly comfortable, but it is right, and if they can convince 24 | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
deputies then this will not go through. We passionately believe | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
that we are doing the right thing. But there was not any chance of | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
convincing most of the parents here that the arguments stack up. Not | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
very convincing at all. I do not then they are convinced, if I am | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
honest. Their case is getting shakier and shakier. There are lots | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
of issues in this debate. It is a lovely little school. I do not see | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
any need for it not to stay open. There have been several of these | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
meetings, but the whole thing has been a whitewash. This was the last | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
in a series of public meetings. But with two weeks to go until the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
States vote ` it's likely this won't be the last well hear from parents. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Our children are real human beings... Crimestoppers is offering | :03:45. | :03:58. | |
a ?1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
following an alleged armed robbery in Guernsey. The incident happened | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
at the Longstore Handy Stores in St Peter Port at about half past five | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
on Tuesday morning. Two young men are said to have entered the store | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
with their faces covered. They're described as tall and thin and were | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
wearing black clothing at the time. Anyone with information is asked to | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
contact Guernsey Police or Crimestoppers. A Second World War | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
explosive found in Guernsey's harbour's been destroyed by the | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Royal Navy. Bomb experts removed the device and took it to the northern | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
tip of Great Bank, where it was detonated in a controlled explosion | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
shortly after midday. It was found underwater about half a kilometre | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
from the entrance to the harbour on Monday. 1,000 new highly paid jobs | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
will be created in Jersey within the next three years. That's part of the | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Economic Development Department s Enterprise Strategy ` which aims to | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
grow areas of the economy outside of the finance industry ` such as IT | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
and mining. While there's a drive to attract businesses and skilled | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
workers from around the world, the Minister insists islanders won't be | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
left behind. It is all about creating jobs for local people. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Without inward investment, I should add, we will not be able to deliver | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
on diversification of the economy. That is why we see so many | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
jurisdictions around the world doing exactly the same, offering | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
incentives to drive business activity intervention restrictions, | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
to create jobs and economic value. `` business into their | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
jurisdictions. Guernsey's business community has voiced concerns about | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
plans to tighten up rules on which airlines can fly in and out of the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
island. The low cost airline Easyjet has been exploring possibly of | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
running services there. But the Treasury and Resources department is | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
the major stakeholder in the State owned airline Aurigny ` and it wants | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
to protect taxpayers' investment. Mike Wilkins reports. Flybe will | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
soon be departing from the Guernsey`Gatwick route, leaving | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Aurigny as the only provider. But a few weeks ago Easyjet announced it | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
was considering competing on that vital link. The Treasury and | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Resources Department wants Aurigny's investment in a new jet to be taken | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
into account when that application is considered. Now a group | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
consisting of representatives including the Institute of Directors | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
and the Guernsey International Business Association have voiced | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
concerns about the proposed changes. The problem is we already have a | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
reasonably tough regulatory environment and we do not understand | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
why these, why it is necessary to make it any tougher. We have not | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
seen anything that leads us to support this change in the | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
regulation. The Treasury and Resources Department insists its not | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
blocking competition. I have no idea why they have proposed that we | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
change the legislation. We have done purely to preserve Gatwick access | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
and it is critical for this economy. If lose Gatwick access, or if the | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
number of seats on Mac becomes restricted, you can expect the | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
economy to go into decline. So when can we expect an announcement on | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
this divisive issue? The Treasury and Resources report is currently | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
with the Bailiff and should be published shortly. You're watching | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin and | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Natalie. Going ape for art ` 30 painted gorillas are auctioned off | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
for charity. There should be more women in Jersey's top jobs. That was | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
the rallying call at a seminar today. A recent report found only a | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
third of the Island's senior positions are held by women. There | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
were also calls for a discrimination law, and rights to flexible working, | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
as Tim Robinson reports. Meet Karen Paterson. Head of a global payroll | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
company in Jersey, and former CBI "Entrepreneur of the Year". But | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
she's seen first`hand how difficult it can be for women to get to the | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
top. When I first came to the island these were my first two recruits. | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
She left her job in banking to set up this business after seeing men | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
promoted ahead of her. I saw people being promoted before me who were | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
not as qualified as I was. I thought that my career wasn't moving fast | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
enough, so I moved to a firm of chartered accountants in the south | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
coast with 120 staff and my partners but none of them were women. Today | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
the place of women in work and politics was discussed at this | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
seminar organised by the Jersey Community Relations Trust. It's | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
research shows more than 51 per cent of Jersey's population is female, | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
and yet women make up only a third of the island's managers, directors | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
and senior officials. Only one in four States members is a woman, and | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
there is only one woman in the Council of Ministers. It is up to | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
the state of jersey to take this issue seriously. The figures are | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
similar to the UK, but the organiser of today's event says women in | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Jersey need more rights. We have no rights to flexible working or | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
maternity leave. The bare bones of discrimination law, but nothing in | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
place. There is a lack of political will to make these things happen. So | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
what can be done? UK MP and former minister Tessa Jowell told the | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
conference that attitudes and legislation need to change. Out | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
there and around this island, women have got so much to give. They have | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
not even thought of the value of their experience and I hope that, in | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
some small way, this conference today will begin to open doors and | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
the possibility of their contribution being realised. Women | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
at today's event say that in order to open up those possiblites ` | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
women, employers and politicians alike will have to make real changes | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
if Jersey's gender imbalance is to be tackled. Time now for the weather | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
forecast. Good evening. I think we have got | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
some rain and the forecast. That will arrive early tomorrow. But it | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
is patchy in nature and coming into the afternoon tomorrow we should see | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
some sunshine. Not a bad day. Not quite as bright and dry as we would | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
like. The wind from the South East, but we should see some sunny spells | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
after lunch. There was a fair amount of cloud coming in from the | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
south`west. This lump of cloud is extending across cars. It has some | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
rain in it and it will arrive this evening and overnight. This weather | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
system is trickling through the Bay of Biscay and rushing past us, early | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
tomorrow morning. Behind it, there should be some dry weather. Then | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
further outbreaks of rain into the evening and overnight. Let's look at | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
the detail. Generally, clear skies and relatively mild with wins the | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
South and South East. A brisk southeasterly breeze developing | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
towards the end. And tomorrow, quite breezy and damp at first, but it | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
will improve with sunny spells into the afternoon, giving us did the | :11:04. | :11:08. | |

Saturday we are expecting quite a few showers. One or two of those | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
might be quite heavy. Similar situation on Sunday with the | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
south`westerly wind and relatively mild with temperatures at around 18 | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
degrees. Let's join Natalie now for the rest of Spotlight. Have a nice | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
evening. say the culled time might have to be | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
longer. `` the cull might have to take longer. Thank you. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
The police are investigating after the bodies of six mute swans were | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
found on of banks of Restronguet Creek in Cornwall. The police say | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
they had been beheaded and their injuries couldn't have been caused | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
by a wild animal. They believe they were killed intentionally and | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
illegally. Swans are a protected species and the police are asking | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
anyone with information to contact them 11 Nobel Peace Prize winners, | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, have called on the Russian president | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
to drop piracy charges against three Greenpeace detainees from Devon. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
Alexandra Harris, Iain Rogers and Kieron Bryan are among 30 people who | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
were arrested following a protest at an offshore drilling platform. The | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
letter to Vladimir Putin says charges against them should be | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
dropped. The government has confirmed that | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
two of the region's coastguard stations will close next year. The | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
Maritime and Coastguard Agency will shut Portland in September 2014. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
Brixham will close two months later. MPs have raised concerns about the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
move. The government insists it will modernise the service. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
The Independent television production company TwoFour, which is | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
based in Plymouth, is merging with the Welsh group, Boom Pictures. | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Senior executives based at Estover are taking key roles in the enlarged | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
company. TwoFour has made its name producing programmes such as the | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Fixer, with the famous hotelier Alex Polizzi. | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
The company which will run Plymouth's new energy`from`waste | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
plant has suffered a major setback. It's been told that it can't send | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
ash from the incinerator to a quarry at Buckfastleigh for recycling and | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
it now has to decide if it will appeal against the decision. Local | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
people say they're delighted by the news. Our Environment Correspondent | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
Adrian Campbell reports. Buckfastleigh seem to be in a | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
jubilant mood today. Local people were celebrating the decision by the | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Planning Inspectorate which appears to support their arguments against | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
the use of the local quarry as a recycling centre for waste ash from | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
the new incinerator still being built in Plymouth. I am so thrilled | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
with this outcome. Having spent a lot of time having listens to all of | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
the enquiry, and at the same time listening to the schoolchildren the | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
road `` across the road playing, that is what it's about. Protecting | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
their future here and the community. It's fantastic. I am overwhelmed, I | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
don't know what to say. Julia rang me up first thing and said, "are you | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
sitting down? " and it's very difficult to believe. The first | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
sentences I'd dismissed the appeal, so it is real! The new energy from | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
waste plant were are still under construction will take waste from | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
Plymouth and some other parts of Devon. After incineration, there | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
will be lorry loads of ash which will have to be taken away from the | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
energy from waste plant. Tens of thousands of tonnes of bottom ash a | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
year. If it doesn't go to Buckfastleigh for a cycling, it | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
might have to travel as far as Gloucestershire. MVV Energie, | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
wanting to bring the bottom ash for a cycling here, didn't have anybody | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
for interview, but they told us they were disappointed in reviewing the | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
decision before deciding on a possible challenge. Local | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
environment campaigners say it is time for MVV Energie to give up on | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
the plants for Buckfastleigh. They have to issue a challenge in the | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
next six weeks. My understanding is they wouldn't get that in front of | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
court for another year so I'd imagine they are out of time. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Campaigners in Buckfastleigh have celebrated today but they still have | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
to wait and see what MVV Energie does next. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
In a moment we'll be indulging in a sport of monkeying around. | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
The final send`off for the art project that's being auctioned for | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
charity. And stepping back in time, the | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
school children experiencing a World War Two evacuation. | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
It's getting increasingly difficult for young people to get into farming | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
due to the high costs involved. But a Devon farmer has launched a unique | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
new scheme to help give more of them a step on the ladder, and it | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
involves giving each of them 100 sheep. Anna Varle has the details. | :16:41. | :16:49. | |
It has been two months since Johnny got the start he needed. These 150 | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
sheep would have cost up to ?15,000 to buy, money he didn't have. Due to | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
being so young, I don't have special credits with the bank, I don't have | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
any reputation with them, so it would be very hard for me to get a | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
loan. This scheme helps a lot. It saves me that massive cost. This | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
idea is the brainchild of this man. The dealers young farmers read with | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
his ewes, then they give the scheme back 200 lambs and the rest of the | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
sheep they can keep for themselves. Once we get to 1000 sheep, we will | :17:26. | :17:34. | |
be getting back 500 ewe s, so we can take this scheme forward, as a | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
scheme that can be nationally recognised, with people coming in | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
without having capital. It's not just the cost of livestock which | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
prevents many young people entering the industry. The high price of land | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
and feed cost is also a factor. Experts say there is a shortage of | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
new recruits with the average age of a farmer now 58 and with challengers | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
of food security and climate change, a report by the Royal Agricultural | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
Society of England estimates 60,000 new entrants are needed over the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
next decade. A dish consumers tell as they want British produced food, | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
so we need schemes, any schemes that will in courage people and get over | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
the start`up costs. Mike hopes that by using a new breed of sheep which | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
is largely self`sufficient, it will soon expand to operate on a | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
nationwide basis. Now, if you've been anywhere in | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
South Devon over the summer, you might have seen some brightly | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
coloured silverback gorillas dotted around the landscape. It's been part | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
of an art project around Exeter and Torbay, and now all 30 gorillas have | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
been brought back to Paignton Zoo for a final send`off before being | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
auctioned for charity. Our South Devon reporter John Ayres has been | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
to see them all on parade. They range from the bright and | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
colourful to the weird and famous. These gorillas have been painted by | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
a number of artists all in their own different styles. They going to | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
disappear soon, though. They will be auctioned to raise money for gorilla | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
conservation. For some of the staff involved, it's a homecoming. Every | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
one of these gorillas, I know their names, who made them, why they were | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
made, and where they spent the summer. And to think they will be | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
disbursed and sold off, it is a bit emotional because we've invested so | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
much effort into this and given so much, it's going to be hard to see | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
them go their separate ways. They were commissioned as part of | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
Paignton zoo's 90th anniversary. The zoo printed 50,000 maps showing | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
where they were. They were gone within a couple of weeks. The | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
gorillas are all back together and it's the last time they will be on | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
view. It's great. We had a great summer looking at all of these | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
gorillas. And you've enjoyed them as well, haven't you? Yes! This is my | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
favourite, this one is my favourite. She's got all different colours | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
she's got mountains and flowers all over her. I really like her. My | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
first favourite one is hanky`panky. Because he looks smart. Due to the | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
teachers strike on school closures, there was an unusually high number | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
of children around today who got the chance to get up close. It is | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
fabulous to stand in the zoo today and see all of these kids coming up. | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
They know the names as well. It's not just us. They know the names, | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
they know where they saw them, so you can tell how well they followed | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
the trail during the summer. The zoo plans to keep one of the gorillas | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
but the rest will be auctioned off on November the 6th. | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
What a fantastic project! What did that little boy like again? | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
I don't know! Something about a holiday... | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
A former holiday camp in Cornwall has today been transformed into a | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Second World War classroom. 90 school children were evacuated from | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
Plymouth and transferred to Maker Camp near Millbrook to learn about | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
everyday life in the early 1940s during the war. Johnny Rutherford | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
reports on how history came alive for 21st century youngsters from the | :21:15. | :21:26. | |
city. It's not that far from limited Maker | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
Camp, but it seems a world away from these children `` for these | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
children. They visit the countryside of Cornwall as World War II | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
evacuees. The World War II theme is very important in their stage to | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
curriculum, and it is always a popular subject that schools always | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
focus on. They can really get those kids to empathise with what it's | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
like to be a child evacuated. What utter players to take some then | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
here, where kids have been coming on holiday since the 1900. Maker Camp | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
was founded in the 1920s on the instigation of Lady Astor. To get 's | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
it gives to experience the countryside and break away from home | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
or school. Thousands of children from Plymouth, Cornwall, west of and | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
further afield, like this group in 1967, enjoyed a week's field trip. | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
We get more in a week than what we could do it over to them in six | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
months at school. When we came here, it was a weak adventure. I did get | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
homesick. But it was so exciting to us that I enjoyed it thoroughly. And | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
came back two other times after as well. It all stopped in the 80s. 12 | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
years ago, a trust was set up so the site could be saved and used by | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
local communities once more. Tens of thousands of e`bill implements know | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
and love this camp and I was told when I came over here I didn't need | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
to sell Maker Camp to the people of Plymouth, I just needed to tell them | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
it was open again. What we want to see is to make connections between | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
the older generations and the new generations. Today the children had | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
workshops around the camp, including drama, reconstructions, and good old | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
singing. And they definitely had smiles on | :23:27. | :23:42. | |
their faces. We had rations. So they wouldn't have had things to eat like | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
we do. It's like an adventure, exploring through history. It was | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
fond farewells for some, but many are staying for a sleepover. | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
Time for the weather now. Some fabulous blue skies and it was very | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
warm. And it stays that way. The little boy said he was talking | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
about hanky`panky on holiday. Trust you to say that! | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
Good evening, we've got some brighter weather through the weekend | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
ahead but I think tomorrow we will have some cloud around, producing | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
some rain every now and again. Perhaps some early rain across | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Cornwall, brightening briefly for some time before more rain arrives. | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
It stays mild, temperatures stay up at 16 or 17, but it will be a breezy | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
day, too. When you look at why we've got unsettled weather, we've got | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
this great big area of low pressure taking up most of the Atlantic. It | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
will throw us a weather system a long way away from us. That will | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
move towards us tonight, and bring us some rain. The heavier rain is | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
lying to the West of the Isles of Scilly. Through the morning, it | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
moves in. Through the weekend, both days we expect to see some showers, | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
hopefully some sunshine in between the showers. It remains mild and | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
frost free. There have been some sharp showers and there are still | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
some left for this evening. Across Somerset and Dorset, and the main | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
problems here will be mist and fog forming. Some could be quite thick. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
Contrast that to the cloud and patchy rain coming into West | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
Cornwall with freshening winds. It is a range of overnight | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
temperatures. 10`15. This rain band will move northwards through the | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
day, a few splashes of rain elsewhere, then brightening up with | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
sunny spells before that more persistent rain moves into the early | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
evening. It is breezy, not overly windy. The strongest winds will be | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
in Cornwall, and the temperatures are back up to about 15 or 16. If | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
you get some breaks in the cloud, particularly in the north of Devon, | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
you might see temperatures as high as 17. Still, above average for this | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
time of year. The forecast for the Isles of Scilly is generally cloudy. | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
We will see some patchy rain on and off joining the day, the strongest | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
winds will be across the islands. Times of high water. With the winds | :26:30. | :26:40. | |
from the south`east, we should have some usable surf on the north | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
coast. The weather won't behave in terms of sunshine, but at least the | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
surf will be clean. Rather messy along the south coast because of | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
that breeze. For the coastal waters broadcast, the winds are | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
south`easterly, rain at times with moderate visibility. It is a bit | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
misty cowpats see, too. The forecast for the weekend, pretty | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
straightforward. It stays relatively mild. We will see some showers, | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
difficult to say when they will be. It is breezy, though. Although there | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
will be showers around, there will be sunny spells, too. Monday is very | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
similar. Temperatures around 17 or 18. For the gardeners, no frost in | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
the forecast for the moment. Have a good evening. Thank you. | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
That's all from us. There will be an update at 8pm. Our | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
late news is at 10:25pm. From all of us, good night. | :27:45. | :27:46. |
