Good evening. Welcome to the BBC Channel Islands news. Coming up | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
Anger over plans to merge ranked taxis and private cabs and fears. | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
Things are really tough. It will affect lots of livelihoods. Also | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
tonight ` we meet the new boss of Guernsey's whole public sector ` and | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
hear about the challenges ahead. And a bumper season for our postal | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
services ` as islanders head online for their Christmas shopping. Taxi | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
drivers in Jersey are angry at plans to change the way they work. The | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Transport Minister wants to create one system for private hire and rank | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
cabs, allow more taxis on the roads, and cap fares. The idea is to | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
provide a simpler and fairer service for passengers ` but some drivers | :01:00. | :01:12. | |
say it will harm their livelihoods. Fighting the cold for all`important | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
fares. But as fog led to long waits at Jersey Airport this morning ` | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
taxi drivers were more upset about plans to change how they work. It | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
will put double the amount of drivers on the same ranks fighting | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
for the same jobs that we are not getting at the moment. Plu`mac | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
things are really tough and the changes will affect a lot of | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
people. Everybody knows that the tourist industry has gone down. Less | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
work and more drivers mean I will get less jobs. Part of the worry for | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
taxi drivers here ` is that private hire cabs would have more freedom to | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
use the ranks ` increasing competition for fares. But they ll | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
competition for fares. But they'll also be allowed to take more | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
bookings, with both types of taxi working under the same rules. It is | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
proposed that we have one single system, instead of taxis, cabs, | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
private hire. At the moment there is restrictions over who can use a taxi | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
rank, pick up at the airport, lots of rules and regulations, and this | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
will simple fibre system. And plans to allow more taxis on the road aim | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
to make it easier to book or hail a taxi ` but some don't agree this | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
will make fares cheaper. It has been proven in other places, it has not | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
brought down fears at all. In some places like Dublin, Dublin airport | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
to the city centre is the 12th most expensive place in the world, so it | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
will not always work. The plans also include capping fares across the | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
board. That's where private hire taxis could be affected as they tend | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
to charge more ` arguing they have higher costs to cover. But one firm | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
owner is hopeful it won't affect his business. We are hopeful this is the | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
beginning of a constructive process for all sides in the industry which | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
might lead to a successful outcome. The level is raised as to how we | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
deliver the service, what pricing is, and hopefully a successful | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
industry. And passengers are also being encouraged to give their views | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
` as no decisions will be made until after consultation closes and the | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
plans are debated by the States in the New Year. There are concerns | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
unauthorised door`to`door salesmen in Jersey are charging islanders | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
hundreds of pounds for poor quality work on their homes. The police and | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
the population office ` which oversees who can work in Jersey ` | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
want to speak to anyone who has met an unofficial tradesmen on their | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
doorstep in the past month. The men demand cash, but charge over the | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
odds, in some cases more than a thousand pounds. After months of | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
disruption for Jersey motorists, thousand pounds. After months of | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
disruption for Jersey motorists Mount Bingham reopened today. Work | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
has been done to stabilise the rock`face there, after rock fall | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
made the area unsafe. At the end of November one lane was opened, now | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
traffic is flowing on both. The closures led to long tailbacks at | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
rush hour. Channel Island passengers using the Gatwick Express rail | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
service this Christmas are being told to find alternative routes into | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
London. Trains from Gatwick to Victoria station will be suspended | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
from the end of Christmas Eve until January second for maintenance work. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
There's a new man in one of the top jobs in Guernsey's Government. Paul | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Whitfield ` the former Chief Office of the Home Department ` will be the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
new Chief Executive, heading up the whole public sector. 24 people | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
applied for the job. Penny Elderfield went to ask him about the | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
challenges ahead. Congratulations on the new role. You've essentially got | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
the top job in this state. What are you going to do? First thing I am | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
going to do is listen, talk and engage the organisation. Clearly we | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
work in an ever`changing environment, and we need to know how | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
to address that. We need to keep pace and lamenting going with that | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
change for the good of the services `` momentum. One thing which has | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
caused unrest is the recently announced changes to the public | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
sector pension. There has been talk of strike action. Are you worried | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
you will have a bumpy start? There are always challenges. We have a | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
workforce that are working quietly and diligently to provide the | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
services that you and I access on a daily basis. We should be proud of | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
that. We have to make sure that we have got the right arrangements in | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
place for that, so they can do the job that they do. It will be | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
reducing in number, the workforce, the voluntary severance programme is | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
kicking in. How challenging Willet B? There is no job for life any | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
more. We are fulfilling need. We have to do that the most efficient | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
and effective way we can, so the public still has core services | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
maintained. We have been told next year will be particularly | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
challenging when it comes to the savings the states will need to | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
make. How do you keep the public happy in that process? One of the | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
things we need to get right is how we engage with the public and our | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
community. How they access services. Dooley want to go to less buildings? | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
We need to improve the pace of change. Thank you. Owners of racing | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
pigeons are being warned of a potentially serious bird virus | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
present in Jersey for the first time in more than 25 years. The disease | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
affects the birds' nervous system, and was found in a flock of wild | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
pigeons last month. The Environment Department says there is a low risk | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
of it transferring to domestic poultry ` and that owners should | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
ensure their birds have been vaccinated, as it can lead to a much | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
more serious disease. The virus we have isolated is part of a package, | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
a family of viruses, which are related. This one has adapted for | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
pigeons, but another that is part of this family causes a more serious | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
disease in domestic poultry called Newcastle disease, if that were in | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
the flock, they would need to be cold and the premises disinfected, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
so there would be a loss to the order from production and income. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
You're watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
with Justin and Natalie, find out how much a record player owned by | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
Elvis went for at auction today. Around one in three islanders are | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
doing most of their Christmas shopping online ` according to a | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
survey by Guernsey Post. The company says it's dealt with more parcels | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
this winter than ever before ` thanks to new contracts and the | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
surge in internet shopping. For customers, it could mean more | :07:55. | :07:55. | |
deliveries, as Tim Robinson reports. Guernsey Post has never seen this | :07:56. | :08:07. | |
many parcels. In fact, this is the biggest Christmas for parcels ever. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
We have managed to win some new contracts over the course of the | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
year. Contracts alongside a growth in Internet shopping, so in | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
November, the postal rates went up by 42%. Huge business and meeting | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
that demand poses a challenge. Guernsey Post commissioned a survey | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
to find out what islanders want They found that more than 50% of | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
them bought more online this year than they did last year. 50% do | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
newly 75% of their shop online with around 32% doing all the shopping on | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
the Internet. The company expects those numbers to be bigger next year | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
so they ran out changes for the parcel service passed the customers. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
In the New Year we will look at a number of opportunities, evening | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
deliveries, getting to customers when they are at home rather than | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
work, extending track and trace services, so that it involves text | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
thing customers. `` sending text messages. Guernsey Post hopes in | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
initiative like this will help grow the business next year, but if you | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
are more concerned with went to post your Christmas cards, it is | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
recommended you get them in the post box before the end of next week. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
box before the end of next week Obviously lots of very organised | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
people in Guernsey. How is your going? I leave it to my other half. | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
It is quite mild but also one settled, that is the main theme of | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
the forecast as we head into the weekend. Quite breezy conditions for | :09:55. | :10:04. | |
tomorrow. We have not seen rain for a few days now. The rainfall will be | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
heavy around the middle of the day. Temperatures will be up into double | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
figures. Quite a lot happening on the satellite picture. Some cloud | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
coming through the Bay of Biscay. That is broken. A thicker line of | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
cloud here is the second line of rain. Two lines of rain heading our | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
way. They get that little bit closer as they move through overnight. They | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
will arrive at around midday. Expect some more persistent rain on that | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
second one but it will also be quite windy. The wind is from the | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
south`west. By Saturday, we have briefly some fine weather before the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
next line of rain arrives and that is really the setup as we head into | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
the weekend, most of it turning up overnight. This band of rain, the | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
first one coming in is light and patchy. Brisk southerly breeze | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
developing. Tomorrow, it is a cloudy day, some outbreaks of light rain in | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
the morning, then the rain will be through the afternoon quite heavy. | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Doesn't really clear until after dark tomorrow. Change in the wind | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
direction, it will become more westerly. Top temperature tomorrow | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
of 12 degrees. 54 Fahrenheit. For the coastal water forecast, the wind | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
is quite lively in the morning, and just ahead of that, south`westerly. | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
Onto the times of high water. The forecast for Saturday is bright, | :11:30. | :11:46. | |
dry, overnight. Saturday night into Sunday, another line of rain coming. | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
Gone by Sunday. It will cloud over with more wet weather as you move | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
into next week. That is all from me, enjoy your evening. Thank you. The | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
weather is looking OK. That is it from the Channel Islands. | :12:07. | :12:15. | |
the spokesman said that long`term meant beyond 2020. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
In a moment, it's the next of this year's Sports Awards. Tonight, we'll | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
be unveiling who the Youngster of 2013 is. | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
And, open house ` Trelissick lets the public in after nearly 60 years. | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
A talky woman is facing the prospect of being made homeless because she | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
says a reduction in benefits has trapped in debt. Louise Fisher says | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
she has been trying to swap her three`bedroom home for something | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
more affordable and smaller for months. She is facing a court | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
repossession hearing. Louise Fisher is stuck in a home | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
that is too big and too expensive. She wants to move somewhere smaller | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
and cheaper in Torquay, but her housing association is refusing to | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
let her budge until she clears her rent arrears, currently ?950 and | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
rising. I have never been in debt with any housing company until they | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
brought in this spare bedroom tax. Now I am ?950 in arrears. Louise, | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
who is bipolar, lives in a three`bedroom home but because it | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
has two spare rooms, she has lost subsidies and his pen `` paying an | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
extra ?26 a week. She is facing a repossession hearing in court in the | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
New Year and her MP says it is an example of a deeper problem. The | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
overall cost could be greater from evicting people from social housing | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
and having to find alternative accommodation. We would be far | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
better off tackling the root problem here which is not enough affordable | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
housing. Spectrum Housing group said that seeking possession of a | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
property is always the last resort. We urge people to get in touch with | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
us if they are struggling and we will always support and help our | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
residents if they work with us and stick to agreements that have been | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
made. Louise says she has started selling | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
personal possessions to stop getting further into debt. | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
Businesses in Exeter are being urged to pay their staff a "living wage". | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
The call comes from the city council which will start paying all its | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
staff at least a living wage from January. But many private sector | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
businesses say it's just impossible to find extra money in the current | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
economic climate. Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has the story. | :14:46. | :14:54. | |
John Selfridge is 30. He has a wife and a two`year`old daughter and he | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
is about to get a pay rise, one he says is desperately needed. Very | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
tight. We live with my mum at the moment and we can't afford to rent. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
With this extra money, we can look into this. We still have to go on | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
the housing list because Private is out of the question. He works for | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
Exeter city centre `` city council and so does his wife so they will | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
benefit from the decision to pay everyone at least a living wage. It | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
will cost us about ?26,000 this financial year. Probably just over | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
?100,000 a year. The minimum wage is ?6 31 an hour but a living wage is | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
?7 65. It is not an increased Devon county council says it can make or | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
many others in the private sector. Absolutely not. We could not sustain | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
that level of wage. We are being told by our customers we need to | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
keep prices down and we need to keep all our costs down. In order to | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
compete against international competition, we would have to | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
struggle to do that and to maintain it. John and his wife are lucky. | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
They say if more people could earn a living wage it would boost the | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
south`west economy. A record player which used to belong | :16:19. | :16:29. | |
to Elvis Presley has sold for more than ?4000 at auction in Cornwall. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
The singer gave the player to a friend when he was serving in the | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Army in Germany. She retired to Cornwall and brought the record | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
player with her. This is the record player that has | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
had Elvis Presley fans in a spin. In 1958, Elvis Presley arrived in | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
Germany for the first part of his national service. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
The rock 'n' roll king was about to embark on service in Germany. There | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
he met this woman who befriended her father in a local post office. They | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
were having trouble with language and the paperwork so she said, can I | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
help you? And she did. She didn't know who he was at first. He said, I | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
am Elvis Presley 's father. Oh, she said, would you like to come to a | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
gathering. She did a good turn for somebody as someone in front of her | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
was struggling with the language in the post office. She offered to help | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
and it was Elvis Presley 's father and all these things happened | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
because of it. She went to a party and melt Elvis and talk to him for a | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
long time. He obviously liked her `` and met Elvis. When she got there | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
she saw Elvis and everything was going on. Dancing... It was | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
something special. Elvis Presley 's `` Elvis Presley and Eleanor became | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
friends and she was invited to many more parties where he is sometimes | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
played his guitar through the amplifier. When she told him he was | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
getting `` she was getting married, he gave her the record player as a | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
wedding present. The auction has started. | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
There has been quite a lot of interest from around the country. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
The record player was sold to a buyer from abroad for ?4400. | :18:36. | :18:45. | |
Elvis Presley on Spotlight! I was worried with Eleanor waving | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
her hands around at the auction whether she had bought the record | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
player by mistake! Onto the next in our BBC South West | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Sports Awards which we've been showing you all week. Today, it's | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
the Youngster of the Year accolade which goes to world champion swimmer | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
` 16`year`old Ruta Meilutyte. She trains with Plymouth Leander, | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
studies at Plymouth College and lives in the city. Dave Gibbins been | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
to surprise her. She is riding on the crest of a wave | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
because in the summer she broke yet another world record and won another | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
gold medal, the world championship medal to add to her Olympic title. | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
We are going in the room where Ruta is with her head coach. There they | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
are. Well, Ruta Meilutyte, you haven't expected this but for the | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
second year running you other BBC South West Youngster of the Year. | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
Well done! You can stand up now. Congratulations! It has been another | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
great year, hasn't it? Yes, but I didn't expect to get this, to be | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
honest, for the second time. It is great. Thank you. But I do every | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
good woman there is a good man. John, can she get any better at 16? | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
You would hope so. She is still relatively young and the guys she is | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
racing with at senior level are a good five or six years older than | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
her. There is plenty of time for her to develop and two and a half years | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
till the next Olympics. You're going to the European Championships now | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
and this is your only day back at Plymouth College. You have 12 gold | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
medals. What are the chances of adding to that in Denmark? | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
Hopefully, if I perform well I will have a chance of winning some | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
medals. It has been an amazing year. Is there any way you can better | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
2013? Yes, definitely. Many congratulations and fully deserved. | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
Thanks to BBC South West for recognising my hard work. Thank you | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
a lot. What a great year she has had. | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
Tomorrow we have the sports man and sportswoman award. | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Very contested, that has been. A Cornish country house is open to | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
the public nearly 60 years after it was acquired by the National Trust. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Trellisick, near Truro, was given to the Trust in 1955. | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
The house was retained for use by the original owners, so it was the | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
garden, Trellisick Garden, which was made accessible and which has since | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
become famous for its plants and footpaths along the River Fal. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
Now, 58 years later, visitors can finally see inside. David George has | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
been to have a look. Trelissick Garden with its 30 acres | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
of hydrangeas, rhododendrons and camellias is popular with visitors | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
and locals alike. The big house behind its 18th`century Grecian | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
columns has been a mystery. Until now. This is the dining room dressed | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
for an Edwardian Christmas lunch with some of the items the National | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
trust bought in last summer 's ?3 million sale of the house contents | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
by the Copeland family, the original owners of the Spode china company. | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
Obviously there is a strong link to the Spode china so we bought a | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
number of services from Spode. Amazing candelabra. It is and it has | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
been in the family for a number of years. It would have sat on the | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
table at Christmas for sure so it is important we have that. Along with | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
it, we acquired one of the finer services which is delightful and | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
sets off the table a treat. The dinner service sold for ?6,000 in | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
the auction. Do not `` National trust appeal helped by the original | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
contents, including sketches and paintings by the stable master at | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Trelissick before he came it `` became a famous horse artist. Is | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
there much demand over the years to look inside? It is a very frequent | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
question and now it is the magic moment to be able to offer that. The | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
library is open as well and visitors will also see this. Now, that is | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
what I call a conservatory! Not a single piece of UPVC insight. They | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
call this the solarium. The house is a work in progress as restoration | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
will be a huge project. The plan is to consult visitors on what they | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
would like to see done but the trust is to have at least half a dozen | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
rooms open by next spring. Stunning, wasn't it? And what a | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
view! Time for the weather now and it is getting wetter, isn't it, | :23:52. | :23:52. | |
David? Good evening. We have had high | :23:53. | :24:05. | |
pressure close by for several days. That is changing. We could have a | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
wet start to the day tomorrow but the good news is changing. We could | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
have a wet start to the day tomorrow but that it uses the rain is moving | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
quite fast in the afternoon. It will also be quite breezy. Over the next | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
two or three days, another feature is the mildness of the air. High | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
temperatures overnight tonight. Two strikes of cloud. One gave us rain | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
earlier on from the Bay of Biscay. This second one has a bit more rain | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
in it. The two will get closer together over the next few hours to | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
bring as fairly heavy rain around the middle of the day tomorrow. For | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
the first half of the day on Saturday, largely dry but another | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
system will come in. The isobars are squeezed up so it could be quite | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
windy on Saturday. The cloud is fairly extensive so not too many | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
worries for overnight temperatures. Splashes of rain overnight which | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
will ease for a time but then returned before dawn. | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
A mild start to the day tomorrow and a breezy start. Also, you need to | :25:17. | :25:26. | |
dig out your waterproof or umbrella because it will be a damp morning. | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
The rain will move fast, though, and by the afternoon, it will be drier. | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
For the fast `` first half of tomorrow night we will have clear | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
skies but showers possible later. Unusually mild temperatures | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
tomorrow. Perhaps not feeling quite as warm as temperatures suggest in | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
the wind and rain. But in the afternoon, it should feel quite | :25:57. | :25:57. | |
pleasant. The rain band will move quite | :25:58. | :26:14. | |
swiftly across the Isles of Scilly. Good visibility should follow. | :26:15. | :26:30. | |
We had good surfing conditions yesterday but the server is now | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
being messed up by the strength of wind. | :26:36. | :27:04. | |
Much more unsettled weather. Temperatures are in double figures | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
and the wind stays strong for the next four days. A fine start on | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
Saturday but, by dark, rain coming into callable again. Rain arriving | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
later in the day on Sunday, mostly at night time. Apart from Monday | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
which could be a mild day, breezy with further outbreaks of rain. | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
Join us tomorrow when we will find out who has won our sports awards | :27:35. | :27:42. | |
for 2013. From all of us here, good night. | :27:43. | :27:43. | |
Good | :27:44. | :27:44. |
