:00:10. > :00:12.good evening. The headlines: Follow Church of England law, not the

:00:13. > :00:15.island's own. We have exclusive access to letters from the Bishop of

:00:16. > :00:18.Winchester telling Jersey's Dean he must defy local laws if they

:00:19. > :00:25.conflict with the church support for Low Value Consignment relief.

:00:26. > :00:32.To me, that is unacceptable for someone outside Jersey, who is a

:00:33. > :00:37.member of the House of Lords, to be telling someone who is a member of

:00:38. > :00:41.Parliament of Jersey to effectively break Jersey law.

:00:42. > :00:47.Support for Low Value Consignment Relief ` UK MPs say they are

:00:48. > :00:52.sympathetic to a move that could support Island growers.

:00:53. > :00:59.And, oh no, it isn't! The curtain goes up on a pantomime with a

:01:00. > :01:02.difference in Guernsey. The BBC has been given exclusive

:01:03. > :01:05.access to letters suspending the Dean of Jersey in which the Bishop

:01:06. > :01:08.of Winchester asserts that laws governing the Church of England

:01:09. > :01:13.should take precedent over Jersey's own laws. It's the latest

:01:14. > :01:17.development in a long running rift between the Island and its Anglican

:01:18. > :01:20.leaders. In March this year, an independent

:01:21. > :01:21.report investigated allegations that the Very Reverend Bob Key mishandled

:01:22. > :01:26.an abuse complaint made in 2008. The an abuse complaint made in 2008 The

:01:27. > :01:32.Korris report criticised his failure to take the complaint seriously and

:01:33. > :01:34.led to the Dean's suspension. The diocese then ordered a second report

:01:35. > :01:37.reviewing safeguarding policies. diocese then ordered a second report

:01:38. > :01:37.reviewing safeguarding policies The diocese then ordered a second report

:01:38. > :01:41.reviewing safeguarding policies The Gladwin report has still not been

:01:42. > :01:44.published. In April, the Dean was reinstated after apologising for the

:01:45. > :01:48.way he handled the abuse complaint. In May, the former appeal judge in

:01:49. > :01:51.Jersey, Dame Heather Steel, was asked by the Diocese of Winchester

:01:52. > :01:56.to lead a further investigation into the abuse complaint. It was revealed

:01:57. > :02:02.last month that her report will not be made public.

:02:03. > :02:11.BBC Radio Jersey's Matthew Price joined me earlier to explain more.

:02:12. > :02:14.It is a very serious letter from the bishop outlining the Dean's

:02:15. > :02:19.suspension, and the investigation into how and allegation was

:02:20. > :02:24.investigated by the dioceses into suspected abuse along the way. One

:02:25. > :02:29.bishop stresses that the Dean has a duty of obedience to him as a

:02:30. > :02:33.bishop, and that the Dean, Bob Key, should not defy him, particularly

:02:34. > :02:37.his request relating to Jersey's own laws. The bishop writes that

:02:38. > :02:43.whatever the local lawmakers seek to impose, the Dean must follow church

:02:44. > :02:47.law and not local law. So basically, the bishop has told the Dean to

:02:48. > :02:52.ignore Jersey rules. The Dean is a member of Jersey's parliament. Does

:02:53. > :02:56.this raise tensions diplomatically? Allegations of pressure have been

:02:57. > :03:03.raised and the Dean would have to ignore his obligations to the

:03:04. > :03:05.Bishop, and that our concerns that the Bishop of Winchester and the

:03:06. > :03:11.dieses themselves have acted very badly towards Jersey. To me, that is

:03:12. > :03:17.unacceptable, for someone outside of Jersey, who is a member of the House

:03:18. > :03:20.of Lords and a bishop, to be telling someone who is a member of

:03:21. > :03:24.Parliament of Jersey to effectively break Jersey law. What is the

:03:25. > :03:28.response from the Bishop of Winchester? He has said that he

:03:29. > :03:33.acted within the law and he expect the Dean to comply with his orders

:03:34. > :03:37.over any local laws. The dioceses of Winchester says it expects that

:03:38. > :03:41.anyone who works for them is committed to addressing fundamental

:03:42. > :03:45.discrepancies between church law and local law. Any reaction from the

:03:46. > :03:48.Dean himself tonight? He told us this issue has been very painful and

:03:49. > :03:54.this was a difficult letter for him to receive. He says the law of the

:03:55. > :03:56.land is the law, and that no citizen is allowed to disobey it.

:03:57. > :03:59.MPs at Westminster have agreed to support the reinstatement of a

:04:00. > :04:02.controversial Channel Island tax concession. Low Value Consignment

:04:03. > :04:06.Relief, which allowed goods under a certain value to be sent VAT free,

:04:07. > :04:09.was scrapped last year by Westminster. A group of Guernsey

:04:10. > :04:14.growers and politicians travelled to London to lobby the UK Government.

:04:15. > :04:17.Mike Wilkins reports. For years, Guernsey's growing

:04:18. > :04:21.industry bloomed as it benefitted from being able to sell products

:04:22. > :04:23.into the UK VAT free. But, last year, the British government

:04:24. > :04:26.controversially scrapped Low Value Consignment Relief, or LVCR, last

:04:27. > :04:33.year after concerns that it gave some bulk mail firms an unfair

:04:34. > :04:37.advantage. But a group of growers and deputies have met this week with

:04:38. > :04:42.British MPs and Peers to make their case to reinstate LVCR for local

:04:43. > :04:51.flower growers. And several UK politicians agreed to support their

:04:52. > :04:55.case. They want us to come forward with some sort of proposal that is

:04:56. > :05:03.practical and doesn't open up too much of another exemption that could

:05:04. > :05:08.impact their economy. We are concentrating on indigenous Channel

:05:09. > :05:12.Island produce and to see whether we can work something around that. Paul

:05:13. > :05:16.Ingrouille runs this flower business in Guernsey which has been going for

:05:17. > :05:19.more than 25 years. He says if the island could get LVCR back, then

:05:20. > :05:25.retailers may have to accept certain limitations. If the law came in that

:05:26. > :05:29.said there would be relief solely on the stuff you are growing in

:05:30. > :05:36.Guernsey, but if are doing circular you shipments then you cannot claim

:05:37. > :05:37.for VAT relief on those, and that is what we would have to live with.

:05:38. > :05:37.for VAT relief on those, and that is what we would have to live with The

:05:38. > :05:37.for VAT relief on those, and that is what we would have to live with. The

:05:38. > :05:41.what we would have to live with The visits to London have been described

:05:42. > :05:45.as a process of "winning hearts and minds", and, while this week's trip

:05:46. > :05:54.can be seen as a small victory, the Channel Islands still have a long

:05:55. > :05:57.way to go to win the LVCR war. Jersey's budget debate rumbled on

:05:58. > :06:02.today with long arguments about the amount of duty added to alcohol

:06:03. > :06:05.tobacco and fuel. Any attempt to remove any increase was rejected,

:06:06. > :06:12.but the arguments by how much they will go up continue.

:06:13. > :06:15.It has been a long day in Jersey States as politicians discuss next

:06:16. > :06:19.year's budget. Today they have talked about duty increases for

:06:20. > :06:25.alcohol, fuel and tobacco. Increases in fuel will go up by 1.5%, which is

:06:26. > :06:31.a slight change to what Treasury bond. They wanted a 2% increase.

:06:32. > :06:37.That was a successful change by its own telly Dunstable Simon Crowe

:06:38. > :06:43.Croft. He wasn't successful in trying to reduce the amount that

:06:44. > :06:50.tobacco goes up. It'll go up by 11%. That is 47p on a packet of King

:06:51. > :06:55.20 cigarettes. Without the whole it is more concentrated. Stronger

:06:56. > :06:59.alcohol will go up by 11% on duty rises, but for lower strength

:07:00. > :07:05.alcohol and wine, the duty will go up slightly less, and to a change

:07:06. > :07:09.brought in by the Treasury minister. The Channel Islands have joined up

:07:10. > :07:12.with the South West of England to develop offshore wind and tidal

:07:13. > :07:15.energy projects. They've signed an agreement to work together to create

:07:16. > :07:18.renewable energy from the sea. The idea is to share research and

:07:19. > :07:22.information and grow the industry. It comes as the UK Government

:07:23. > :07:31.increases the price it pays for offshore wind power.

:07:32. > :07:34.The curtain is about to go up on a pantomime with a difference in

:07:35. > :07:37.Guernsey. It's called Snow White and the Seven Directors, and it's all

:07:38. > :07:41.about redundancy. Not exactly a festive theme, but the law firm

:07:42. > :07:43.behind it says the irreverent look at employment legislation will teach

:07:44. > :07:46.employers how to deal with the tricky issue more fairly. Tim

:07:47. > :07:54.Robinson had a back`stage pass to the dress rehearsal today.

:07:55. > :07:58.Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but not as you know them! Though you

:07:59. > :08:09.might recognise some of these characters from your workplace.

:08:10. > :08:17.Let's make this quick, I have got a meeting later. I like a wee drop of

:08:18. > :08:27.whiskey. Ladies, I've got a big one. It's in the name. Get out of my

:08:28. > :08:34.face. Why is this camera in my face? Am I getting paid for this? Can you

:08:35. > :08:38.point the camera away from me, I have got a really bad migraine. The

:08:39. > :08:42.performers are from Guernsey College, but this unusual rendition

:08:43. > :08:50.of Snow White has been written by lawyer. Redundancy is a hot topic,

:08:51. > :08:54.and it is something that I see a lot of at the moment through the course

:08:55. > :08:59.of my work. I was finding that a lot of employers were basing redundancy

:09:00. > :09:02.on subjective criteria, personal traits and characteristics, and

:09:03. > :09:11.actually, that is not what they are supposed to do. It has got to be

:09:12. > :09:16.based on more objective criteria. The seven direct display the board

:09:17. > :09:22.of this failing company, and it is up to our dynamic duo, Snow White

:09:23. > :09:28.and the Queen, to somehow decide who is going to stay and he will go. Is

:09:29. > :09:31.and the Queen, to somehow decide who is going to stay and he will go Is

:09:32. > :09:33.employment law too dour an issue for a one`night panto spectacular?

:09:34. > :09:37.Tonight in Guernsey they answer .. Well, you didn't expect me to get

:09:38. > :09:40.all the way through this report without it saying it, did you? The

:09:41. > :09:51.answer, of course, is "Oh no, it isn't!".

:09:52. > :10:00.Good evening. We are going to see a bit of a change tonight as colder

:10:01. > :10:04.air floods in behind the band of rain that has been plaguing us for

:10:05. > :10:08.the last hour or so. It is moving away, say later on tonight it will

:10:09. > :10:12.turn quite chilly and we might even see some frost. A brighter day

:10:13. > :10:20.tomorrow with some sunshine, and it will feel colder. A brisk north`west

:10:21. > :10:24.wind will develop. The cloud is slowly moving down into France, and

:10:25. > :10:27.it will eventually go. There is a fair amount of clear skies that will

:10:28. > :10:31.develop behind it, and then that high pressure begins to slip down

:10:32. > :10:36.towards the Bay of Biscay. This weather system will bring some rain

:10:37. > :10:42.late tomorrow night, and as a move into Friday, we have got high

:10:43. > :10:45.pressure coming back. Generally light winds tonight, but it will

:10:46. > :10:49.turn quite cold, with enough clear sky to get temperatures down as low

:10:50. > :10:54.as three or four degrees. That is cold enough for a touch of Frost.

:10:55. > :10:59.Tomorrow, a bright enough start Some sunny spells, and more cloud

:11:00. > :11:04.coming into the second half of the day. And the wind will increase

:11:05. > :11:05.Although we will get 10 degrees, day. And the wind will increase.

:11:06. > :11:05.Although we will get 10 degrees it day. And the wind will increase

:11:06. > :11:07.Although we will get 10 degrees it will feel colder with that wind.

:11:08. > :11:10.Although we will get 10 degrees, it will feel colder with that wind.

:11:11. > :11:30.Those wins will reach 46 by the end of the afternoon. `` fourth six

:11:31. > :11:39.Friday will be quite a cloudy day. It will be quite stubborn to break

:11:40. > :11:42.up. For the weekend, we have got sunny spells and patchy cloud.

:11:43. > :11:50.Temperatures on the way down a little bit. The wind will be mainly

:11:51. > :11:55.from the South or Southwest. Have a good evening.

:11:56. > :12:03.That's it for now. Goodbye. landlords for them to come forward

:12:04. > :12:06.if they have an empty house that can be used to re`home someone on the

:12:07. > :12:09.homeless register. A jury was today told that a

:12:10. > :12:13.pensioner died after falling into the River Exe because her walking

:12:14. > :12:15.stick broke and not because of any safety shortcomings of steps and

:12:16. > :12:18.handrails. Exeter City Council denies breaching health and safety

:12:19. > :12:30.laws where passengers get on and off Butts Ferry at Exeter Quay.

:12:31. > :12:34.80`year`old Dorothy Stevens drowned when she fell into the river in July

:12:35. > :12:41.2010. Hamish Marshall joins me now from Exeter Crown Court.

:12:42. > :12:45.We find out why Sharron Robbie has been nominated as this year's unsung

:12:46. > :12:50.sporting hero. The premise of the defence case was that Dorothy

:12:51. > :12:56.Stevens would not have fallen into the water if her walking stick had

:12:57. > :13:01.not snapped into. A consultant came to the courts today and spoke about

:13:02. > :13:06.how she was not very agile and a foldable stake was not as reliable

:13:07. > :13:09.as a wooden one. He said that if it had not broken in such a way he

:13:10. > :13:16.believed she would have been able to climb the steps.

:13:17. > :13:20.Who else has been giving evidence? The health and safety inspector who

:13:21. > :13:25.was called there in 2010 gave evidence. She was asked why she

:13:26. > :13:29.allowed Butts Ferry to continue to operate as normal through the rest

:13:30. > :13:34.of that summer if there was such a danger in these steps. She said the

:13:35. > :13:38.full circumstances surrounding what happened to Dorothy Stevens was not

:13:39. > :13:42.known at the time. And other witness, a retired health and say

:13:43. > :13:47.inspector, said that just because there have been changes to the steps

:13:48. > :13:53.and rails does not mean that work needed to be done before the

:13:54. > :13:58.accident happened. What happens now? Tomorrow morning

:13:59. > :14:07.we will have the closing speeches. The jury will retire to consider its

:14:08. > :14:11.verdict. Next on Spotlight: We hear from the man who received an apology

:14:12. > :14:16.after complaining to the Prime Minister.

:14:17. > :14:18.Also We find out why Sharron Robbie has been nominated as this year's

:14:19. > :14:23.unsung sporting hero. I have been kissed a few times under

:14:24. > :14:29.the mistletoe. I was kissed a few times when I was younger. I am still

:14:30. > :14:33.waiting! A man from Dorset who wrote to the

:14:34. > :14:37.Prime Minister to say that he'd only received his out of work benefits on

:14:38. > :14:39.time once in three months has today received an apology from the

:14:40. > :14:42.government. Adrian Robinson claims problems with his job`seeker's

:14:43. > :14:45.Allowance began when he returned to his home town of Lyme Regis, from

:14:46. > :14:53.where Simon Clemison sent this report.

:14:54. > :14:57.Think of Lyme Regis and you probably think of the cob and the coast but

:14:58. > :15:02.it is not just a famous tourist spot. I found a business park here

:15:03. > :15:08.where people live and work as well as come to be enjoyed. It is lovely

:15:09. > :15:13.to be back. Returning to his home town after his contract came to an

:15:14. > :15:17.end in Berkshire, Adrian wanted to join the local workforce. He is

:15:18. > :15:20.partially sighted and is helped by his wife. I went through the

:15:21. > :15:25.recession in the 1980s and you just had to wait until things get better.

:15:26. > :15:31.I know that as long as I keep doing everything I need to do... Are you?

:15:32. > :15:35.Yes, indeed. Adrienne knows about employment as much as unemployment,

:15:36. > :15:56.having been a human resources advisor. He was getting job`seeker's

:15:57. > :15:58.allowance before he moved back to Dorset but when he signed on in

:15:59. > :16:01.Weymouth the problems began. The system seemed unable to cope with

:16:02. > :16:04.the profit of the sale of their house when they moved even though it

:16:05. > :16:06.was below the amount that would have meant the benefits were docked.

:16:07. > :16:08.While he was entitled to the payment, every time it was delayed.

:16:09. > :16:12.We gave them all the information they needed but the system would not

:16:13. > :16:15.bend. There is no more that I can do and the benefit that we seek we were

:16:16. > :16:17.entitled to and we were entitled to it on time. Adrienne may have been

:16:18. > :16:21.making every effort to find work by new rules mean there are those that

:16:22. > :16:26.don't in the government's view. Many people have already been penalised

:16:27. > :16:29.in a shake`up of state benefits. Support services say that some are

:16:30. > :16:33.struggling with all the changes. We need to be sure that the system is

:16:34. > :16:37.there to help people and we do not get into a situation where admin

:16:38. > :16:40.errors make things worse and put a burden on people because many people

:16:41. > :16:52.do not have a safety net or anything to fall back on. This job`seeker

:16:53. > :16:55.managed to survive as other benefits were paid on time. The Department

:16:56. > :16:57.for Work and Pensions has apologised for the delay and said it has

:16:58. > :16:59.rectified the issue with any money owing being paid.

:17:00. > :17:05.Yeovil Town's renaisssance could be underway in football's Championship.

:17:06. > :17:08.Their one goal win over Blackpool at Huish Park last night was their

:17:09. > :17:11.second in a row and keeps them within touching distance of the

:17:12. > :17:14.safety line. One of their three new loan signings, John Lundstram from

:17:15. > :17:18.Everton, scored the vital goal in the first half. Blackpool had three

:17:19. > :17:22.of their players dramatically sent off in added time as Yeovil hung on

:17:23. > :17:24.for a precious three points. Plymouth College swimmer Ruta

:17:25. > :17:29.Meilutyte has taken her tally of gold medals for the year to 12. The

:17:30. > :17:31.16`year`old Lithuanian, who's the Olympic and World champion, is

:17:32. > :17:35.representing England at the World Schools' Championship in Brazil and

:17:36. > :17:38.collected her latest gold in the 100 metre freestyle. The England team,

:17:39. > :17:41.coached by Jon Rudd the director of swimming at the College, were the

:17:42. > :17:46.top team in Brasilia with all seven of Rudd's swimmers winning at least

:17:47. > :17:49.one medal each. Prince Harry has been offering

:17:50. > :17:53.support to a group of servicemen, including a man from Devon, who have

:17:54. > :17:59.set off on what's being called the world's toughest rowing race. Cayle

:18:00. > :18:02.Royce who lives in Dartmouth lost both his legs last year while

:18:03. > :18:05.serving in Afghanistan. He's part of the Row2Recovery team racing in the

:18:06. > :18:08.Atlantic Challenge, to raise money for Help For Heroes. Prince Harry,

:18:09. > :18:11.who's currently trekking in Antarctica, called the team to wish

:18:12. > :18:25.them luck on their 3,000 mile journey.

:18:26. > :18:33.Especially if you have a broken toe, I imagine that is true. Good luck we

:18:34. > :18:36.are thinking of you. Throughout this week we're meeting

:18:37. > :18:41.the people you've nominated as Unsung Sporting Heroes. Across the

:18:42. > :18:45.region there are scores of people who give up huge amounts of their

:18:46. > :18:48.own time to help others enjoy their chosen sport. Tonight's finalist is

:18:49. > :18:54.Sharron Robbie, who's the Chair of the Plymouth Netball League.

:18:55. > :18:59.Spotlight's John Ayres reports. We want to 20 chest passes. The profile

:19:00. > :19:04.of netball has risen significantly in Plymouth in recent years with 800

:19:05. > :19:08.women playing in the city league. Heading it up is Sharron Robbie. She

:19:09. > :19:12.has been an ambassador for the sport, but most significantly she

:19:13. > :19:17.works hard to provide a permanent home for netball in the city. Over

:19:18. > :19:21.the last three or four years I have lobbied really hard to gain a

:19:22. > :19:25.central venue for our sport in the city. We were extremely lucky to get

:19:26. > :19:31.the support from Plymouth City Council and England netball and

:19:32. > :19:34.sport England to give us our home in the Plymouth life Centre. Sharon has

:19:35. > :19:38.been keen to encourage more women into sport generally. She heads up

:19:39. > :19:43.the league which is quite a challenge. You are talking about

:19:44. > :19:47.more than 80 teams in the Plymouth and district league which is a lot

:19:48. > :19:50.of people to manage, with their own views and suppression is of interest

:19:51. > :19:55.and they are really concerned for their own teams and she manages it

:19:56. > :20:01.beautifully. She is passion and NHS and approachable and she wants to do

:20:07. > :20:11.amazing. What is it that drives Sharon on? When you start to

:20:12. > :20:15.volunteer for an organisation, whether it is a sport or charitable

:20:16. > :20:18.organisation, I think that if you feel passionately about something

:20:19. > :20:22.you really want to share it with others and I am absolutely

:20:23. > :20:26.passionate about netball and what it can bring, especially to young

:20:27. > :20:30.women. Sharon has been on the committee for more than 20 years.

:20:31. > :20:34.Plymouth netball harbour is now one of the largest of its type in the

:20:35. > :20:36.country. We'll find out about another Unsung

:20:37. > :20:44.Sporting Hero in Spotlight tomorrow and the overall winner will be

:20:45. > :20:48.announced in Friday's Spotlight. I can't wait to find out who it is.

:20:49. > 3:36:14It will be a tough decision for the judges. We have heard sobs `` from

3:36:15 > 2:53:00some fantastic people again this year.

2:53:01 > 2:53:00Now, this festive season, will you be hanging the mistletoe with the

2:53:01 > 2:53:00hope of catching someone under it for a traditional Christmas kiss?

2:53:01 > 2:53:00I make no comment on that. I just happen to have some here...

2:53:01 > 2:53:00I do hope not! I am in terrible trouble now. Well, work has begun

2:53:01 > 2:53:00gathering in hundreds of bunches of mistletoe at The National Trust's

2:53:01 > 2:53:00Cotehele House in Cornwall. Johnny Rutherford has been along to find

2:53:01 > 2:53:00out more about the plant and how the tradition of kissing under it came

2:53:01 > 2:53:00about. Are you sure? Sorry. Long before our

2:53:01 > 2:53:00ancestors were hanging mistletoe up at Christmas time it was believed it

2:53:01 > 2:53:00had special powers. They were careful not to let it touch the

2:53:01 > 2:53:00ground because it was said to really move its strength. This week Gardner

2:53:01 > 2:53:00's are also being careful in cutting and harvesting their mistletoe, to

2:53:01 > 2:53:00make sure that both the Apple tree and the plant to `` continue to

2:53:01 > 2:53:00survive together. The mistletoe grows in Saint biosis with the tree,

2:53:01 > 2:53:00it is a semi`parasitic plant and they grow together really well,

2:53:01 > 2:53:00although the mistletoe will tend, if it is not checked, you will see that

2:53:01 > 2:53:00I am taking out large clumps because it will start to take over the tree

2:53:01 > 2:53:00a little bit. It does need careful management. Mistletoe is often found

2:53:01 > 2:53:00in traditionally managed orchards although it is unusual to find it

2:53:01 > 2:53:00Cornwall. This is a fantastic food source for birds in the orchard and

2:53:01 > 2:53:00it is quite popular at this time of the year as well. It is still

2:53:01 > 2:53:00possible as part of the traditional Christmas decor. In Europe it was

2:53:01 > 2:53:00not to bring good luck and here in the UK we went one stage further and

2:53:01 > 2:53:00hope that luck would get us kiss! It used to be said that young men had

2:53:01 > 2:53:00the privilege of kissing girls under mistletoe, plucking off Bury for

2:53:01 > 2:53:00each case. The berries were gone the privilege ceased. This couple have

2:53:01 > 2:53:00been married 60 years but have never once kissed under the mistletoe. No,

2:53:01 > 2:53:00we haven't. No! We have never needed it! First time then. I have been

2:53:01 > 2:53:00kissed a few times under the mistletoe. I think I was kissed a

2:53:01 > 2:53:00few times when I was younger. And I am still waiting! I would offer to

2:53:01 > 2:53:00help out but I am married! Indeed, if Rebecca's husband is

2:53:01 > 2:53:00watching, I was joking of course! Although there is some mistletoe on

2:53:01 > 2:53:00our desk which has been attempting a full day but we haven't...

2:53:01 > 2:53:00Tempting us! Really. It is time for the weather. He is

2:53:01 > 2:53:00quite a big fellow, her husband, isn't he?

2:53:01 > 2:53:00He is taller than me! Let us look at the weather then.

2:53:01 > 2:53:00the weather Let us start with what is happening

2:53:01 > 2:53:00tomorrow. We have been gloomy for the last few days. The sunshine came

2:53:01 > 2:53:00out today. Tomorrow is different, there will be frost and a cold start

2:53:01 > 2:53:00in the morning. It will become quite windy in the second half of the day

2:53:01 > 2:53:00and we will see showers towards the end of the afternoon and evening. We

2:53:01 > 2:53:00are actually between weather systems to night. This stripe of cloud which

2:53:01 > 2:53:00has kept us cloudy through the morning is now moving away and

2:53:01 > 2:53:00moving into northern France and clear sky will follow. Tonight there

2:53:01 > 2:53:00is a ridge of high pressure and we are expecting some low temperatures.

2:53:01 > 2:53:00In the second half of the night, just slightly more of a breeze to

2:53:01 > 2:53:00stir the air and by the middle of the day it will become quite breezy

2:53:01 > 2:53:00with westerly or north`westerly winds that could touch gale force in

2:53:01 > 2:53:00the Bristol Channel. Here is a look at what could happen on Friday.

2:53:01 > 2:53:00There will be a chilly start with a risk of morning frost and then there

2:53:01 > 2:53:00should be a decent enough day. The high pressure means the cloud will

2:53:01 > 2:53:00be stubborn to shift so things will settle down nicely. We did have some

2:53:01 > 2:53:00sunshine and it was quite a pleasant end to today. This was earlier near

2:53:01 > 2:53:00Teignmouth where there were some bright skies. It was a lovely end to

2:53:01 > 2:53:00the day and a nice sunshine `` sunset. Look at that cloud! This

2:53:01 > 2:53:00means there will be frost is a night, not everywhere but certainly

2:53:01 > 2:53:00for the areas that are well sheltered from the northerly

2:53:01 > 2:53:00breeze. We will see overnight temperatures at or just below

2:53:01 > 2:53:00freezing. A good deal of fine weather and clear sky. Good news for

2:53:01 > 2:53:00the stargazers who have been disappointed in the last few nights.

2:53:01 > 2:53:00The frost will develop in the small hours of the morning and towards

2:53:01 > 2:53:00dawn we will see a bit more cloud drifting in from the North West as

2:53:01 > 2:53:00the breeze steadily freshens. Nonetheless we see temperatures

2:53:01 > 2:53:00close to freezing just about anywhere. In parts of central and

2:53:01 > 2:53:00mid`Somerset temperatures could be as low as zero or below. Expect the

2:53:01 > 2:53:00frost first thing tomorrow morning. Tomorrow it self is a bright enough

2:53:01 > 2:53:00start with a lot of cloud around throughout the day. It will be

2:53:01 > 2:53:00patchy. Some sunny spells briefly. As the wind increases so does the

2:53:01 > 2:53:00cloud amount and through the afternoon we will see a cloudy end

2:53:01 > 2:53:00to the day and a stiff north`westerly breeze setting in.

2:53:01 > 2:53:00The breeze is strong enough in fact to whip up the waves along the north

2:53:01 > 2:53:00coast and through the Bristol Channel. Rough seas are possible

2:53:01 > 2:53:00here. The temperatures tomorrow, on the face of it it does not look bad

2:53:01 > 2:53:00but because it is windy it will feel colder because of the strength of

2:53:01 > 2:53:00the wind. For the owls `` for the Isles of Scilly, a fine enough start

2:53:01 > 2:53:00but becoming windy with the risk of showers late in the day.

2:53:01 > 2:53:00On the north coast the size of the ways increases through the day and

2:53:01 > 2:53:00by the end of the afternoon it could be six feet and messy. That is it

2:53:01 > 2:53:00for the coastal waters and there is more the breeze tomorrow. There,

2:53:01 > 2:53:00then showers, and generally good visibility. At the end of the week

2:53:01 > 2:53:00and Friday, it will be a fine start to the day but quickly becoming

2:53:01 > 2:53:00cloudy. The cloud will be stubborn to shift as you move into the start

2:53:01 > 2:53:00of the weekend. Note how the wind drops right down with light wind and

2:53:01 > 2:53:00the high pressure comes back and there will briefly be sunshine on

2:53:01 > 2:53:00Sunday. Have a good evening.

2:53:01 > 2:53:00Thank you very much. That is the way the news and weather looks on

2:53:01 > 2:53:00Wednesday evening. There will be an update on all the

2:53:01 > 2:53:01main news at 1025 p.m. But have a good
