:00:08. > :00:54.And the 7,000 year`old piece of Jersey history lost forever There's
:00:55. > :01:12.been a it was lost in one day basically.
:01:13. > :01:15.There has been a 26% increase in the number of children being placed on
:01:16. > :01:20.the child protection register in Guernsey. 95 children appeared on
:01:21. > :01:23.the register in 2012 up from 77 In 2011. That's according to the latest
:01:24. > :01:28.figures revealed by the Island's Child Protection Committee. The
:01:29. > :01:30.reasons for children being placed on the register include neglect,
:01:31. > :01:37.physical and sexual abuse. Penny Elderfield reports. Child abuse
:01:38. > :01:41.comes in many forms, but here in Guernsey the most common reason for
:01:42. > :01:46.children ending up on the protection register is neglect. It's the reason
:01:47. > :01:50.why 41% have been placed there. 32% were subjected to emotional abuse 4%
:01:51. > :01:57.to physical abuse. And 3% to sexual abuse. Overall the number of
:01:58. > :02:00.children in 2012 who ended up on the register was up by 26% ` and
:02:01. > :02:09.indications are that's a trend that's continuing. We do not feel
:02:10. > :02:17.there is a rise in child abuse generally, but there is an increase
:02:18. > :02:20.in recognition and intervention To tackle the problem, Guernsey's had
:02:21. > :02:23.an independent committee, with the aim of ensuring robust systems are
:02:24. > :02:27.in place to detect and prevent all forms of child abuse. But while
:02:28. > :02:30.progress has been made, more needs to be done. And it's given itself
:02:31. > :02:35.further aims for the coming year. Including setting up a new panel to
:02:36. > :02:39.review any child deaths. Introducing a new assessment system ` so all the
:02:40. > :02:42.agencies that work with children record information in the same way.
:02:43. > :02:45.Speeding up the time it takes to find permanent placements for
:02:46. > :02:50.children ` on average three years at the moment. Looking at ways of
:02:51. > :02:53.tackling problems like alcohol and drug misuse ` a common problem in
:02:54. > :03:01.families with children on the register. It needs those working
:03:02. > :03:07.with children and domestic abuse, mental health, substance abuse, to
:03:08. > :03:12.be working together. How confident are you what is being done is enough
:03:13. > :03:19.to ensure child abuse does not call unnoticed? I don't think you can
:03:20. > :03:21.ever be sure it will go unnoticed. A lot is being done to minimise the
:03:22. > :03:24.likelihood of that. Guernsey may never be able to completely
:03:25. > :03:28.eradicate child abuse. All the authorities can do is make sure if
:03:29. > :03:34.it does happen children can get the help they need.
:03:35. > :03:37.Meanwhile in Jersey a serious case review is being carried out into the
:03:38. > :03:41.circumstances surrounding the death of a teenager last spring. An
:03:42. > :03:44.inquest into the death of the 16`year`old boy, who can't be named,
:03:45. > :03:47.gave a verdict of suicide this afternoon. Our reporter Louise
:03:48. > :03:52.Walter joined me earlier with more details. The case concerns a
:03:53. > :03:59.16`year`old boy from Jersey who was found dead last spring. He'd taken
:04:00. > :04:03.his own life. The court heard his family had been on the authorities'
:04:04. > :04:06.radar since 2005, but it was in 2012 when the teenager was referred to
:04:07. > :04:09.Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, known as CAMS. This was
:04:10. > :04:22.when it became evident the teenager was at risk of taking his own life.
:04:23. > :04:25.The Child Psychiatrist Dr Caroline Coverlee said the family was given
:04:26. > :04:28.immediate support and the 16`year`old had a session with CAMS
:04:29. > :04:32.in January 2013, four months before he died. She said the boy said he
:04:33. > :04:35.would not kill himself despite wanting to die sometimes and it was
:04:36. > :04:39.felt he would not benefit from therapy at that time. She also said
:04:40. > :04:42.therapy could have been harmful in his then circumstances. In his
:04:43. > :04:45.verdict, the Viscount said that there was a balance to be struck
:04:46. > :04:55.between providing support and a person's wish to be independent
:04:56. > :04:58.What do we know about the review? The spokesman for the Children's
:04:59. > :05:01.Safeguarding Board Police Detective Supertindent Stewart Gull told the
:05:02. > :05:04.inquest a review was launched last July. Now despite the fact it
:05:05. > :05:07.started last summer, this is the first time news of the review has
:05:08. > :05:11.been made public. Indeed Viscount Michael Wilkins himself said that he
:05:12. > :05:16.had not been made aware of the review until October, despite its
:05:17. > :05:19.relevance to the inquest. It was said in court that the Safeguarding
:05:20. > :05:21.Board apologised for the oversight. It's being carried out by two
:05:22. > :05:27.independent UK childcare professionals, and is likely to
:05:28. > :05:32.conclude in June. More news from around the islands.
:05:33. > :05:35.A 54`year`old man from Guernsey has been sentenced to five years in
:05:36. > :05:38.prison, plus two years probation for making, possessing and intending to
:05:39. > :05:40.distribute more than a million indecent images of children Guernsey
:05:41. > :05:44.police described the collection of Kevin Roy De Feu's computer as the
:05:45. > :05:47.largest haul of images they've seen. Sentencing De Feu at the Royal
:05:48. > :05:51.Court, Judge Russell Finch described it as a depressing and appalling
:05:52. > :05:55.case. Also in Guernsey a man has started a
:05:56. > :06:03.three year prison sentence for this incident in October of last year.
:06:04. > :06:06.Guernsey police have released this video showing Joshua Granger what
:06:07. > :06:09.appeared to be a weapon. The 22`year`old from St Peter Port was
:06:10. > :06:16.found guilty of possessing a firearm or imitation firearm at the time of
:06:17. > :06:19.committing an offence. Pressure is growing on the States of
:06:20. > :06:21.Guernsey to introduce civil partnerships. Some politicians and
:06:22. > :06:25.members of the island's gay community claim Guernsey needs to
:06:26. > :06:28.change its policy on equality. It's been almost two years since gay
:06:29. > :06:31.couples have been able to have their relationship legally recognised in
:06:32. > :06:40.Jersey and as Mike Wilkins reports, some feel Guernsey needs to catch
:06:41. > :06:45.up. It was really the happiest day of my life. Mark feels the same
:06:46. > :06:48.Guernsey couple Martin and Mark Gavet tied the knot and formed a
:06:49. > :06:51.civil partnership in the UK. But the commitment they made to one another
:06:52. > :06:56.on the mainland isn't officially recognised here in Guernsey. As an
:06:57. > :07:01.Guernsey man, it would have been nice to have my civil partnership
:07:02. > :07:08.with Mark in Guernsey, but there is no legislation here so we went away
:07:09. > :07:17.in 2011 to Wales to have civil partnership. The main differences
:07:18. > :07:25.come in terms of tax matters. Down to things like medical consent. Mark
:07:26. > :07:27.would not be able to be my next of kin in certain situations. But
:07:28. > :07:33.pressure is now growing on Guernsey's politicians to do
:07:34. > :07:37.something about it. There has been no progress in relation to civil
:07:38. > :07:44.partnership when it comes together and say. It was implemented in
:07:45. > :07:48.Jersey a few years ago. We still have no protection under the law for
:07:49. > :07:51.gay couples. The States Policy Council says it's discussed civil
:07:52. > :07:54.partnership and that it's aiming to bring the matter before this States,
:07:55. > :07:57.but it's unclear when. The Church of England says that civil partnerships
:07:58. > :08:01.for homosexual couples are in line with Christian belief. But it feels
:08:02. > :08:04.the partnerships aren't the same as marriage and that marriage in its
:08:05. > :08:07.definition means the committed union between a man and a woman. The Civil
:08:08. > :08:11.Partnership Act came into force in the UK eight years ago and it's
:08:12. > :08:15.still unclear if the States of Guernsey will follow suit. If it
:08:16. > :08:24.does then for Martin and Mark that day can't come soon enough.
:08:25. > :08:27.Fifty people were caught by Jersey Police last year in a special
:08:28. > :08:29.operation targeting career criminals. Officers say Operation
:08:30. > :08:32.Crackdown focuses on catching people who repeatedly steal from cars and
:08:33. > :08:36.homes. This year they're asking the public to play their part by hiding
:08:37. > :08:40.valuables, and locking doors and windows. Jersey police will also be
:08:41. > :08:51.focusing on known areas of persistent offending.
:08:52. > :08:56.Part of Jersey's ancient history has been lost on the island's west
:08:57. > :08:59.coast. It's thought peat beds around seven thousand years old have been
:09:00. > :09:03.broken and scarred from vehicles and machinery used to repair the sea
:09:04. > :09:06.defence structure ` after it was damaged from the recent storms. Emma
:09:07. > :09:08.Chambers met up with a marine biologist at the site to find out
:09:09. > :09:12.more... The damage that's been done covers
:09:13. > :09:16.quite a wide area, I understand they were warned there was peat in the
:09:17. > :09:19.area and the significance of it and as you can see there's digger marks
:09:20. > :09:27.and truck tyre marks all over the area. Scarred from machinery trying
:09:28. > :09:31.to repair storm damage. These peat beds have been lying in St Ouens bay
:09:32. > :09:35.for thousands of years ` capturing how the island has formed with root
:09:36. > :09:39.systems and tree trunks visible to see. But recent repair work to the
:09:40. > :09:42.sea defence wall sitting next to the peat beds has damaged them ` and
:09:43. > :09:51.along with it crucial insights to the island's history. It is of great
:09:52. > :09:57.importance at the moment with all the research going into ice age
:09:58. > :10:01.Jersey, it tells the story of how Jersey evolved. It was part of
:10:02. > :10:05.France and the tide enveloped us. There is a great amount of history
:10:06. > :10:09.within it. The department who carried out the work says the damage
:10:10. > :10:17.they caused was due to a machine getting stuck in the sand. We
:10:18. > :10:24.entered the area across the sand. Unfortunately it got stuck in the
:10:25. > :10:29.stand. In trying to get out, he used his front bucket to pull himself
:10:30. > :10:36.out. Unfortunately, below that part of the sand was Pete which he did
:10:37. > :10:40.not see at the time. It could've been done with more care and
:10:41. > :10:43.consideration. It was there for thousands of years and it was lost
:10:44. > :10:46.in one day basically. TTS say they are now in discussions with the
:10:47. > :10:49.environment department, and their subcontractor, about the incident `
:10:50. > :10:58.to avoid similar damage in the future.
:10:59. > :11:02.Not too bad on the beach. Good evening. What will it be like for
:11:03. > :11:06.tomorrow? There will be a bit of sunshine
:11:07. > :11:09.tomorrow? There will be a But we will also see
:11:10. > :11:19.showers. It is a mixed bag for tomorrow. Later in the day you will
:11:20. > :11:23.see showers, perhaps more frequently in the afternoon and early evening.
:11:24. > :11:30.It will be a breezy day with plenty of showers. Strong winds as well, so
:11:31. > :11:34.feeling colder than today. It's all due to this big area of low
:11:35. > :11:38.pressure. It is covering this whole area of Europe. This weather system
:11:39. > :11:44.is producing the rain. It will move through quickly and we will be left
:11:45. > :11:47.with sunshine and showers for tomorrow, showers predominantly in
:11:48. > :11:53.the afternoon. A little sunshine to end the day. For Friday, if it's
:11:54. > :11:58.like more persistent rain coming up from the south. So a cloudy day with
:11:59. > :12:06.further outbreaks of rain, but less windy. Overnight rain clears and
:12:07. > :12:15.after midnight, clear skies. Temperatures into single figures. It
:12:16. > :12:18.is quite breezy tomorrow. Despite the morning sunshine, it will cloud
:12:19. > :12:25.over and showers will become more frequent. Towards the end of the
:12:26. > :12:31.day, more persistent rain. Blustery winds and 10 degrees will be the top
:12:32. > :12:41.temperature. The coastal waters forecast...
:12:42. > :12:53.Times of high water... Pretty messy conditions for our surfers. Most
:12:54. > :13:00.beaches will be up to four feet and rather messy. Friday is a cloudy day
:13:01. > :13:03.with outbreaks of rain, cleaning on Saturday, turning colder but quieter
:13:04. > :13:09.as we move into Sunday. That's all from me.
:13:10. > :13:19.Keep the umbrella to hand. That s it for now. Goodbye. Back to Spotlight.
:13:20. > :13:26.Thank you for watching. the coming weeks, that's unless it
:13:27. > :13:29.goes to the European Courts. Dozens of firefighters tackled a

:13:33. > :13:36.appliances and two water bowsers were called to the Ipplepen area of
:13:37. > :13:45.Newton Abbot around 7.30pm. Three lorries went up in smoke. There were

:14:19. > :14:21.award. Island Queen cost just ?1,000 to make, but despite this it will
:14:22. > :14:24.feature alongside blockbusters starring big names from all over the
:14:25. > :14:30.world at this years BAFTAs. Eleanor Parkinson reports.
:14:31. > :14:34.Island Queen is a film about a young woman who lives on a small island
:14:35. > :14:42.and gets herself in deep water after she decides to have a baby. I am
:14:43. > :14:48.going to have a baby. What? Loads of girls we know have babies. Not on
:14:49. > :14:53.purpose. Well, I am going to be a nurturing and interesting single mum
:14:54. > :14:58.with hidden sorrow. What a stupid idea. The film was shot over three
:14:59. > :15:03.days entirely in Cornwall and cost just ?1,000 to make. Now it's been
:15:04. > :15:12.shortlisted for a BAFTA in the category of Best British Short Film.
:15:13. > :15:16.The producer is Emma Hughes. Her colleague Kirsty Smith was the
:15:17. > :15:20.director of photographry. It was a film between friends really. The
:15:21. > :15:23.production team worked for ?1,000 and that was mostly on transport to
:15:24. > :15:33.get the crew and actors down from London. So, we really relied on the
:15:34. > :15:38.goodwill of the locals and the ferry, and the cinema to get the
:15:39. > :15:42.great locations we managed to get. The morning we found out we had been
:15:43. > :15:46.shortlisted, nominated for a BAFTA, I think Emma and I actually didn't
:15:47. > :15:51.sit down for about an hour! We jumped around a lot. Lots of
:15:52. > :15:58.screaming Lots of excitement. Lots of phone calls to everybody who had
:15:59. > :16:04.been part of the team. Yeah, I don't think it really has sunk in. My
:16:05. > :16:11.sperm donor was the best, he is 6'4". Thank you! He is a physicist

:16:43. > :16:46.A historic graveyard in central Exeter ` the burial site for at
:16:47. > :16:49.least 1,300 people ` is to be restored, thanks in part to an
:16:50. > :16:51.anonymous donation. The Exeter Dissenters Graveyard dates back to
:16:52. > :16:55.the 18th century. Dissenters broke away from the mainstream Anglican
:16:56. > :16:57.Church. For years, the site has been left overgrown and littered with
:16:58. > :17:01.rubbish. But as John Henderson reports there are now plans to tidy
:17:02. > :17:06.it up. A snapshot of life and death from
:17:07. > :17:11.the 18th century. This small plot of land is just outside Exeter's
:17:12. > :17:16.historic city walls. Significant as this was the place where people who
:17:17. > :17:23.dissented against views or practice of the Church of England were
:17:24. > :17:31.buried. This graveyard was founded in 1748 and continued in use until
:17:32. > :17:38.1854. But the dissenting tradition goes back to the Puritans and times
:17:39. > :17:49.of Charles I and the civil war with diggers and levellers. Here lieth
:17:50. > :17:54.Sarah... Graveyards and a change in the law reduced the need for a once
:17:55. > :17:59.popular burial site. People would have been packed in tight. It's
:18:00. > :18:04.thought there were 1300 men, women and children laid to rest here. It
:18:05. > :18:09.could even be as high as 2,000 burials. The dissenters graveyard
:18:10. > :18:13.near the old eye hospital has had various owners but was recently sold
:18:14. > :18:17.to the Trust for less than market value. An anonymous donor helped
:18:18. > :18:23.fund the purchase. The plan is to remove stuff like this, find and
:18:24. > :18:26.check the original tombstones and monuments and restore the site. Good
:18:27. > :18:31.news for people with descendents buried in the graveyard. My great,
:18:32. > :18:35.great, great grandfather is buried there with two of his wives and
:18:36. > :18:39.three of his grandchildren. This is really good news. In terms of its
:18:40. > :18:46.size, the dissenters graveyard is small, less than two tennis courts.
:18:47. > :18:49.Its historical value is far larger. It is, as far as Exeter is
:18:50. > :18:53.concerned, certainly unique. Therefore, needs to be preserved.
:18:54. > :19:01.The Trust is now looking for volunteers to help with the
:19:02. > :19:04.restoration work. Now, if you were going to walk
:19:05. > :19:08.roughly 16 miles across Exmoor, you'd probably want to check the
:19:09. > :19:11.forecast first and set off nice and early to avoid getting lost in the
:19:12. > :19:14.dark, wouldn't you? Well, that is, of course, unless you're taking part
:19:15. > :19:18.in this year's StarTrek challenge! It's been running for more than 20
:19:19. > :19:20.years and has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity.
:19:21. > :19:27.Spotlight's North Devon reporter, Andrea Ormsby, has the story.
:19:28. > :19:32.Exmoor, the final frontier. These are the voyagers of the Star Trek
:19:33. > :19:40.Challenge. Their mission ` to boldly go where no man has been before.
:19:41. > :19:44.Look out! Today, a test run of a gruelling 16`mile trek across
:19:45. > :19:49.Exmoor, hard at the best of times, but add darkness to the mix and
:19:50. > :19:54.suddenly it's a real challenge. The walkers go out in teams of 4`6 and
:19:55. > :19:59.they must have at least one or two map readers because you can imagine
:20:00. > :20:03.on these moors at night you can easily get lost, which is why we
:20:04. > :20:07.have a very, very good search and rescue team who make sure that
:20:08. > :20:13.everybody is safe on the night. The Star Trek Challenge is in its 22nd
:20:14. > :20:18.year. It's raised well over ?500,000 for local charities in that time.
:20:19. > :20:23.It's a huge event with around 3`400 competitors and more than 100
:20:24. > :20:27.volunteers. It takes us a year literally from start to finish. We
:20:28. > :20:35.are already looking at next year's route at this time of year. It's a
:20:36. > :20:39.huge undertaking and we couldn't do it without the fantastic support
:20:40. > :20:43.that we get from landowners, national Trust, Exmoor National
:20:44. > :20:46.Parks, all these sort of people. The route changes every year and is
:20:47. > :20:52.always kept top secret until the last moment. But it's not just about
:20:53. > :20:56.skills and speed, clues are also given along the way which add up to
:20:57. > :21:01.deciding who the winner is. It's great fun. It really is good. You
:21:02. > :21:04.are out there, it's a challenge. We have had all sorts of weathers out
:21:05. > :21:08.there, some beautiful frosty evenings, some very wet evenings.
:21:09. > :21:14.Some very, very misty evenings when some people have got lost. It's a
:21:15. > :21:19.real challenge with some basic map reading skills as a challenge that's
:21:20. > :21:22.really open to anybody. This year a shorter eight`mile route is being
:21:23. > :21:26.introduced for the first time. Competitors taking part over the
:21:27. > :21:35.first and second March will be hoping for clear skies and a full
:21:36. > :21:48.moon. Hopefully no extra terrestrials!
:21:49. > :21:51.Sport, and despite twice taking the lead in their FA Cup third round
:21:52. > :21:54.replay last night, Plymouth Argyle eventually bowed out of the
:21:55. > :21:57.competition 3`2 against Port Vale at Home Park. Andres Gurrieri scored in
:21:58. > :22:00.the opening 90 seconds to give Argyle the lead, and Conor Hourihane
:22:01. > :22:03.restored their advantage after Vale had equalised. But the Potteries
:22:04. > :22:06.team overturned the deficit in the second half, before Pilgrims striker
:22:07. > :22:09.Reuben Reid saw his penalty saved ten minutes from the end.
:22:10. > :22:12.Now last summer it was brightly coloured gorillas dotted around in
:22:13. > :22:16.South Devon. This year Plymouth is joining in but with a more nautical
:22:17. > :22:20.theme. They swim, they splash, and one can already be found outside of
:22:21. > :22:25.the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth. Spotlight's Heidi Davey
:22:26. > :22:36.has been along to meet the South West's newest visitors.
:22:37. > :22:41.OK, OK, so you probably guessed it, they're fish, but not just any fish.
:22:42. > :22:47.These have been designed by local apprentices and artists as part of
:22:48. > :22:50.the National Marine skwap aquariums Making Waves Project. Soon you will
:22:51. > :22:54.be able to see them up close as they make a trail for you to follow
:22:55. > :22:59.around the city. It's going to launch on 3 March, which is National
:23:00. > :23:06.Apprentice Week, so a big celebration and they're going to be
:23:07. > :23:10.placed on the sif yak pi `` civic piazza. People can investigate what
:23:11. > :23:14.they need to find on the trail and they'll be going out on individual
:23:15. > :23:18.locations on 10th March. Each one of the 16 sunfish has been sponsored by
:23:19. > :23:22.a local company. They in turn picked a winning design. The young artist
:23:23. > :23:26.we met was definitely pleased to have been selected but slightly
:23:27. > :23:33.daunted by the challenge. Yeah, there was a slight hesitation
:23:34. > :23:37.towards it. Oh, that big! Even though you are told the size, it's
:23:38. > :23:43.different when it's in front of you. But being a local artist she's proud
:23:44. > :23:48.to help Plymouth show off its maritime roots. It's really nice to
:23:49. > :23:52.know that someone like my design and ` someone wanted my design and
:23:53. > :23:56.wanted to take it on, especially being at an entrance. People are
:23:57. > :24:01.going to see this as they walk by. Kids are going to enjoy it and
:24:02. > :24:06.that's the rewarding thing. When you see a brightly coloured finn dotted
:24:07. > :24:14.about the city there's no need to hide as this lot are here to keep a
:24:15. > :24:17.beady eye on the proceedings. Amazing works of art. Yeah,
:24:18. > :24:21.absolutely. Fun seeing those on the streets of the city. Not really the
:24:22. > :24:25.weather for sunfish, David. They'll be more at home with the wet
:24:26. > :24:30.weather. Yes, it's not been particularly good today. It's
:24:31. > :24:39.brighter tomorrow. You might need to throw an extra log on the
:24:40. > :24:43.woodburner! What extravagance! Colder tomorrow. A breeze
:24:44. > :24:46.developing. It's been lively today. The winds strengthen tomorrow. We
:24:47. > :24:50.will see sunshine. That's perhaps the good news. The bad news is we
:24:51. > :24:51.will also see showers and one or two of those showers could turn out to
:24:52. > :24:59.be heavy. We are still very concerned, we have
:25:00. > :25:03.several flood warnings in force. If you need more information or find
:25:04. > :25:11.out what to do if your home is at risk of flooding thering is the
:25:12. > :25:14.number: `` there is the number: We are expecting some rain over the
:25:15. > :25:17.next couple of days. There is a lot of clear skies to the west of us,
:25:18. > :25:21.that's happening tonight. Although there is cloud in here, it's broken
:25:22. > :25:24.cloud so we should see sunshine in between the showers tomorrow.
:25:25. > :25:27.Effectively low pressure is still well and truly in charge. That
:25:28. > :25:31.doesn't change very much over the next 24 hours. This is the middle of
:25:32. > :25:36.the day tomorrow. By Friday it's still close by, perhaps even more
:25:37. > :25:40.persistent rain coming up, affecting the Channel Islands and drifting
:25:41. > :25:43.towards us during the latter part of Friday and Friday night and into
:25:44. > :25:47.Saturday. The showers that we have seen coming in from the west are
:25:48. > :25:51.also lively but the main concern is this area of rain. It's moving
:25:52. > :25:55.quickly. It will move out of the way later tonight. Some brief and heavy
:25:56. > :25:59.showers will follow. For a time tonight we will get a good deal of
:26:00. > :26:02.clear skies and also start to see temperatures dip into single
:26:03. > :26:07.figures. Perhaps by the end of the night a few places might get as low
:26:08. > :26:11.as three or four above freezing. Just about cold enough briefly for a
:26:12. > :26:14.touch of frost. That is limited because the breeze remains a fresh
:26:15. > :26:18.one, it increases in strength through the day. Plenty of showers
:26:19. > :26:23.around and sunshine in between the showers. Every now and then one or
:26:24. > :26:27.two showers could even be of hail with thunder mixed in and some
:26:28. > :26:32.fairly hefty downpours of rain. A windy day which will be strong to
:26:33. > :26:38.near gale force at times. There are the temperatures. It's a colder,
:26:39. > :26:42.fresher feel to the air. For the Isles of Scilly some sunshine and
:26:43. > :26:50.showers and blustery day for all of us. Times of high water:
:26:51. > :26:56.If you are heading to the beach for surfing, the surf is likely to be
:26:57. > :27:00.choppy. Cleanest waves along the coast. Sea conditions are rough over
:27:01. > :27:10.the next few days. There have is the coastal waters forecast.
:27:11. > :27:14.The outlook is not particularly good. At least the winds ease down a
:27:15. > :27:21.little as we head towards the weekend. A drop in the temperatures
:27:22. > :27:26.come Sunday. Friday largely dry. Friday night outbreaks of rain. Slow
:27:27. > :27:30.to clear on Saturday. Misty and chilly first thing on Sunday
:27:31. > :27:32.morning. Have a good evening. Back to you.
:27:33. > :27:35.Thank you very much. That's all from us for now. If you are getting home
:27:36. > :27:43.from work, then you can catch up with all the day's news in our late
:27:44. > :27:47.bulletin at 10. 0.25pm. We are back at 6. 30 am tomorrow. Bye.
