:00:44. > :00:47.problems, improvement invisibility later on tonight, but another area

:00:48. > :00:48.of low pressure turning up on Sunday. I'll have the details

:00:49. > :01:01.later. Penniless and facing a mountain of

:01:02. > :01:03.debt. That's how a growing number of people in Jersey are finding

:01:04. > :01:12.themselves after taking out payday loans. The company offer instant

:01:13. > :01:15.funds, do no credit checks and charge very high interest rates The

:01:16. > :01:18.Citizen's Advice Bureau are so concerned about the number of

:01:19. > :01:22.islanders going online to take out short term loans with big interest

:01:23. > :01:25.rates they've set up drop in clinics this weekend. I asked the bureau's

:01:26. > :01:28.manager Malcolm Ferey how much of a problem it is.

:01:29. > :01:33.A payday loan is a short`term, high interest loan, and the problems that

:01:34. > :01:39.people get into our not paying off the loan at the given time. There

:01:40. > :01:46.are examples of people whose interest, compounded interest, far

:01:47. > :01:50.surpasses the original borrowings. We have heard about online companies

:01:51. > :01:55.before. Other also high street lenders people are using?

:01:56. > :01:58.It is mini websites, and it is mainly over the telephone. These

:01:59. > :02:03.type of payday loan companies are very accessible. Intends to be

:02:04. > :02:07.younger people who are perhaps applying for them on a mobile phone

:02:08. > :02:12.or via their computer, but the whole point, it is just becoming an easy

:02:13. > :02:15.way to get quick money, and it may appear to be a short`term solution,

:02:16. > :02:22.but it ends up being a long`term problem.

:02:23. > :02:27.Do happen big problems in the UK and campaigns, why is the message not

:02:28. > :02:30.getting through? Diving campaigns in the UK to

:02:31. > :02:34.curtail the activities of payday lenders. The first is to ensure that

:02:35. > :02:39.payday lenders conduct background checks to ensure that the ability of

:02:40. > :02:46.loans. And the next is to stop any payday loan and rolled over three

:02:47. > :02:48.times. Are they being followed? They are being followed, and there

:02:49. > :02:53.is a charter in place that A.D. Lenders should adhere to. Apparently

:02:54. > :02:58.it is not being adhered to as closely at some would like.

:02:59. > :03:02.They are still getting into trouble because payday lenders are not doing

:03:03. > :03:07.appropriate background checks to ensure the affordability of these

:03:08. > :03:12.loans? What would you like to see done

:03:13. > :03:15.We would like to know the scope of the problem. That is why we are

:03:16. > :03:18.opening our doors to these clinics to allow people to tell us what

:03:19. > :03:23.issues they are suffering. We're working with Future Finance to

:03:24. > :03:29.provide practical solutions to people who are in this situation.

:03:30. > :03:33.If you're worried about payday loans you can drop into Jersey's Citizen's

:03:34. > :03:36.Advice Bureau on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 9am and 12pm, and

:03:37. > :03:38.Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings between 5pm and 8pm.

:03:39. > :03:41.A team of community volunteers will soon be able to give life`saving

:03:42. > :03:44.treatment in emergency situations. Guernsey and the UK already have

:03:45. > :03:49.First Responders. Now Jersey's Ambulance Service has funding to

:03:50. > :03:51.introduce a pilot scheme. Specially`trained volunteers will

:03:52. > :03:58.attend certain conditions, including cardiac arrests, before paramedics

:03:59. > :04:02.arrive. The most important thing in cardiac

:04:03. > :04:11.arrest is for someone to be doing basic life`support and to have a

:04:12. > :04:17.greater on hand. `` tabulator. The idea is that immediate help will

:04:18. > :04:21.arrive at the patient before the ambulance can get their. It is not

:04:22. > :04:23.instead of an ambulance, it is as well as.

:04:24. > :04:26.Condor Ferries says a decision on the future of its Channel Islands

:04:27. > :04:29.service could be announced within weeks. The company's keen to buy

:04:30. > :04:32.this ?50 million ship to sail the English Channel route. But it won't

:04:33. > :04:35.go ahead until the States of Guernsey and Jersey commit to a

:04:36. > :04:38.longer contract. Condor's Chief Executive Officer says if they do

:04:39. > :04:45.buy the new ship then passengers will notice a big difference.

:04:46. > :04:51.It is a bigger vessel, for a start. A far better rate in rough weather,

:04:52. > :04:55.so all sorts of indications, it is a crime around rather than a

:04:56. > :04:58.catamaran. A whole new experience inside, a whole new generation of

:04:59. > :05:02.craft, and a much better experience for those on board. In terms of

:05:03. > :05:05.comfort, far better, particularly in heavy weather.

:05:06. > :05:08.The number of incidents of vandalism on States properties in Guernsey has

:05:09. > :05:10.dropped by 80% in four years. That's according to the Environment

:05:11. > :05:13.Department. By applying anti`vandal initiatives, such as anti`stick

:05:14. > :05:23.paint, vandalism has dropped from 115 incidents in 2009 to its lowest

:05:24. > :05:25.rate of 19 last year. You're watching the BBC in the

:05:26. > :05:29.Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin and

:05:30. > :05:36.Natalie: the group planning a prayer vigil at council offices to save

:05:37. > :05:40.their church from closure. Next ` ever wish you could just

:05:41. > :05:43.magic up some money out of nowhere? Well, it may not be quite that

:05:44. > :05:46.simple ` and you need the right technology ` but one Channel Islands

:05:47. > :05:49.IT company has started mining virtual money. Cryptocurrencies are

:05:50. > :05:58.becoming more popular for online trading and transactions. Penny

:05:59. > :06:02.Elderfield went to find out more. If I say someone is mining for

:06:03. > :06:05.gold, this probably is not what you would picture, but some of these

:06:06. > :06:12.machines are mining for a virtual currency. That escape this noisy

:06:13. > :06:20.room and find out a bit more. Joining me out here from the

:06:21. > :06:25.technology company C5 are Mark and Steve. Mark, it is a confusing

:06:26. > :06:29.concept that those machines could be making some sort of currency. How

:06:30. > :06:33.does it work? There are a number of

:06:34. > :06:36.cryptocurrencies out there, 70 or so, and essentially what you get

:06:37. > :06:43.from those companies or individuals is a blob of data, and with in that

:06:44. > :06:48.data are some kinds, some numbers. You also need some complex software

:06:49. > :06:53.from the same people to actually mine and try to solve those puzzles

:06:54. > :06:57.defined those kinds in their. That's how you get hold of them, and that's

:06:58. > :07:00.been done around the world by a number of people.

:07:01. > :07:04.Steve, there must be a cost associated with this, there must be

:07:05. > :07:09.cost to have all those machines in their?

:07:10. > :07:13.In terms of the mode of coins you want to generate, obviously it is

:07:14. > :07:17.limited by the amount of editor city consumed. But for us it is not

:07:18. > :07:20.really about the value of cryptocurrencies, it is about the

:07:21. > :07:25.concept. What are you hoping to get out of this?

:07:26. > :07:28.We want to advise local businesses on how they could take advantage of

:07:29. > :07:33.it, and potentially join up with law enforcement and help them.

:07:34. > :07:35.If you look at the reputation of these currencies, they have been

:07:36. > :07:39.associated in the past with money`laundering. Some will question

:07:40. > :07:42.whether this is the sort of thing that Guernsey should be getting

:07:43. > :07:45.into. A lot of fears aren't

:07:46. > :07:48.cryptocurrencies is due to lack of knowledge of how to control it. We

:07:49. > :07:53.want to be part of helping those agencies put things in place to

:07:54. > :07:55.allay those fears so that financial services businesses and ritual

:07:56. > :08:01.businesses can take advantage of this new type of currency.

:08:02. > :08:05.Mark and Steve, thank you very much. I guess now we just let the

:08:06. > :08:08.machines get on with the hard work. Four years after it was first

:08:09. > :08:12.suggested, Jersey's new wetlands centre is just days away from

:08:13. > :08:16.opening to the public. The bird hide and education centre allows visitors

:08:17. > :08:24.to get as close as possible to local wildlife without leaving a trace.

:08:25. > :08:28.Jen Smith's been finding out more. Making the most of Jersey's new

:08:29. > :08:32.wetlands centre. Mike Stentiford's been a bird watcher here for more

:08:33. > :08:34.than fifty years. It's hoped the project ` which cost around 200

:08:35. > :08:38.thousand pounds ` will allow wildlife enthusiasts, like Mike as

:08:39. > :08:46.well as tourists and islanders to watch and enjoy Jersey's natural

:08:47. > :08:52.habitat without damaging it. A lot to read, a lot of

:08:53. > :08:55.interpretation, and of course these viewing areas where you can spend so

:08:56. > :08:57.much time just watching the birds that we are lucky enough to have

:08:58. > :09:00.you. Built on top of a former German

:09:01. > :09:04.bunker ` which'll now be used as a classroom ` it's designed to sit

:09:05. > :09:07.subtly in its sandy surroundings. It's the idea of The National Trust

:09:08. > :09:16.for Jersey, which has raised most of the money through donations.

:09:17. > :09:23.The development fund also kindly sponsored this project, and they, as

:09:24. > :09:25.we think, believe that visitors will be attracted to this and will be

:09:26. > :09:29.another reason to visit Jersey. The emphasis here is on local birds

:09:30. > :09:41.but also flora and fauna. It's hoped it'll attract as many visitors as

:09:42. > :09:45.passing wildlife. Itself like we have all been living in the wetlands

:09:46. > :09:45.today. Please give us some good news for the

:09:46. > :09:50.have all been living in the wetlands today. Please give us weekend.

:09:51. > :09:53.I suppose it is good news for the wildlife that is enjoying this wet

:09:54. > :09:58.weather, but it is also quite mild, so perhaps for some wading birds is

:09:59. > :10:02.not too bad a day. Tomorrow there will be some dry weather around but

:10:03. > :10:06.we are moving back into wet weather on Sunday. Make the most of

:10:07. > :10:10.tomorrow. It is quite cloudy, it will be breezy in the afternoon

:10:11. > :10:15.tomorrow, more rain and strong winds likely on Sunday. This line of cloud

:10:16. > :10:18.and rain is still across us at the moment. It will move away from us

:10:19. > :10:24.later on tonight, and once that happens we get it clearance. Still a

:10:25. > :10:28.little bit of mist around, but nothing that should trouble some of

:10:29. > :10:32.our flight in and out of the islands. For tomorrow, there is a

:10:33. > :10:39.weak ridge of high pressure, so hopefully it is a little drier. On

:10:40. > :10:45.Sunday we could have further rain, and accompanying that, strong up to

:10:46. > :10:47.gale`force winds. It finally peters out towards dawn tomorrow morning,

:10:48. > :10:55.and overnight temperatures no lower than nine degrees. For tomorrow it

:10:56. > :11:00.is generally a dry day. We might see showers in the evening, but for much

:11:01. > :11:02.of the day it is dry. A lot of cloud around, some sunny spells,

:11:03. > :11:11.temperatures getting up to 11 degrees. For the coastal waters

:11:12. > :11:19.forecast, the winds start a force for an increase later. And the times

:11:20. > :11:39.of high water. Sunday is wet, and breaks throughout

:11:40. > :11:44.the day. Quite a windy day also Mundy is much colder. Some of the

:11:45. > :11:47.showers on Monday could turn winter rain later in the day.

:11:48. > :11:52.rain later Thanks very much. Good luck as you

:11:53. > :11:55.are trying to get off the island this weekend, and make the most of

:11:56. > :11:59.what is likely to be a slightly better day on Saturday. Is all from

:12:00. > :12:03.the team here in the Channel Islands. I hand you over to

:12:04. > :12:13.Spotlight. `` Life Centre.

:12:14. > :12:16.400 youngsters in this year's Disability Games. The police are

:12:17. > :12:21.investigating a fire which has destroyed three buses at a Western

:12:22. > :12:24.Greyhound depot in southeastern Cornwall.

:12:25. > :12:29.The fire in Liskeard follows an arson attack last May at the depot

:12:30. > :12:34.in Summercourt near Newquay, where 30 buses were destroyed.

:12:35. > :12:37.The fire at the depot broke out in the early hours of the morning.

:12:38. > :12:42.People living nearby were awoken by the flames and raised the alarm.

:12:43. > :12:45.This film was taken by a family whose house overlooks the depot. At

:12:46. > :12:52.one stage they feared for their safety. It looked like the actual

:12:53. > :12:58.depot as well as the buses had started to catch fire. Today the

:12:59. > :13:02.company confirmed that three buses had been completely destroyed in

:13:03. > :13:06.this fire. The entire depot has been sealed off to preserve the evidence,

:13:07. > :13:12.and a specialist forensic team will be brought in to examine the scene.

:13:13. > :13:18.The police and fire investigators are conducting early enquiries to

:13:19. > :13:24.establish the cause of the fire so that whether or not it is accidental

:13:25. > :13:30.can be qualified. Last May, 35 buses were destroyed by an arson attack at

:13:31. > :13:34.Western Greyhound's depot at Summercourt near Newquay. This is

:13:35. > :13:38.still being investigated. The managing director of the company

:13:39. > :13:45.told the BBC he believes his company is being targeted. That must not be

:13:46. > :13:48.very comfortable. No, obviously the vehicles are insured. There have

:13:49. > :13:53.been no deaths or injuries which is fortunate. Buses can be replaced.

:13:54. > :13:57.But of course it is the effect on the public. The public are affected

:13:58. > :14:01.if the services are affected and that is devastating. One has to

:14:02. > :14:06.wonder who is doing this. This latest fire has caused disruption to

:14:07. > :14:12.local bus services. Two routes were affected today and could be affected

:14:13. > :14:20.tomorrow. The campaign against major cuts in

:14:21. > :14:25.Torbay is being stepped up. Church groups plan a vigil outside the

:14:26. > :14:30.council this weekend. They claim cuts will hit the most vulnerable.

:14:31. > :14:34.The Leonard Stocks Centre in Torquay could close. We have been finding

:14:35. > :14:39.out about the service it provides. There is no denying that David's

:14:40. > :14:43.life has been difficult. A recovering drug addict, he was

:14:44. > :14:47.released from prison on Christmas Eve. For the past few weeks he has

:14:48. > :15:02.been living at Torquay's hostel and hopes to turn his life around.

:15:03. > :15:07.Thanks to this place, I have been helped. But the centre that is home

:15:08. > :15:11.to 24 residents is fighting for its life. Its funding is threatened and

:15:12. > :15:16.that could force the centre to close. The people we are supporting

:15:17. > :15:19.need help and will continue to need help. If we are not providing it it

:15:20. > :15:24.will fall to the police, health services, the community to provide

:15:25. > :15:29.that help. And it will be much more expensive. Torbay Council has to

:15:30. > :15:38.make cuts. They are insisting they will find new ways of helping the

:15:39. > :15:42.wearable people. But some housing `` Some housing associations are very

:15:43. > :15:47.wealthy and have tax`free profits. We are going to say to some of the

:15:48. > :15:51.housing associations, come and help us with not only your expertise but

:15:52. > :15:55.your accommodation and staffing and finance. The people behind the

:15:56. > :16:00.Leonard Stocks Centre say in four years it has helped almost 450

:16:01. > :16:04.people. They are now wondering whether people like David will be

:16:05. > :16:08.their last. Next week the Catholic Bishop of

:16:09. > :16:13.Plymouth, Christopher Budd, will retire and hand over the reins to

:16:14. > :16:19.his successor. Our political editor has been talking to him and

:16:20. > :16:25.reflecting on the period of his leader `` leadership.

:16:26. > :16:29.He has been needed for nearly 30 years. I time of change for the

:16:30. > :16:34.church and the people he served. When I first came to Plymouth, it

:16:35. > :16:40.was very white and English, that is the best way to describe it. Node

:16:41. > :16:47.you have people from France, Spain, Poland, Germany and all sorts of

:16:48. > :16:53.other places. Italians have been here a long time, like the Irish,

:16:54. > :16:59.though. His time in office also saw only the second and third visit to

:17:00. > :17:07.Britain by a reigning Pope will stop do you feel some people, `` as some

:17:08. > :17:12.people in the church do, that with some of these issues of morality and

:17:13. > :17:16.conscience, the church is being pushed out? There is an element in

:17:17. > :17:23.our culture that wants to privatise this, totally. We want to resist

:17:24. > :17:28.that and say, like anyone else, we have a right to have our say and to

:17:29. > :17:33.argue the toss with the people over whatever it is. And I wanted very

:17:34. > :17:37.much hope that that will continue. We should not be edged out of public

:17:38. > :17:42.debate. It is not just a purely private affair. The welfare of human

:17:43. > :17:51.beings, which the gospel is about, to some extent, cannot be

:17:52. > :17:57.privatised. The Pope tweets, cardinals have blogs, do you think

:17:58. > :18:01.social media has a role to play? In the time I have in my retirement, I

:18:02. > :18:08.may be getting into some social media. Who knows? I baby become a

:18:09. > :18:16.real pain in the neck. `` I may become. Blogging priests and

:18:17. > :18:22.bishops, I think there is a risk in that. We should not do it too much.

:18:23. > :18:27.Most of the Bishop's predecessors were not given the luxury of

:18:28. > :18:31.retirement. In the Isles of Scilly, many years ago I said to a very

:18:32. > :18:36.small group, if I am still alive when I retire, I will come and be

:18:37. > :18:40.your priest, so I am going to do that. Mainly from the end of

:18:41. > :18:48.November until Pentecost, which is normally May or June. He will

:18:49. > :18:57.consecrate and thrown his successor, Mark O'Toole, next week.

:18:58. > :19:00.Time for the sport now and the Plymouth Life Centre has been

:19:01. > :19:02.staging a special event today involving hundreds of school

:19:03. > :19:09.children from across Devon. Dave Gibbins has more.

:19:10. > :19:12.Here at the Plymouth Life Centre, it is this year's Winter Ability Games.

:19:13. > :19:15.It is for children, 400`plus children, of varying disabilities,

:19:16. > :19:18.plus 100 volunteers. That makes up the Active Devon initiative, Active

:19:19. > :19:22.Devon being based in Exeter. More about that in a moment, but first,

:19:23. > :19:25.Yeovil Town plan a big FA Cup shock in the fourth round at Premier

:19:26. > :19:28.League Southampton tomorrow. They will have more than 3,000 fans

:19:29. > :19:32.cheering them on at the St Mary's Stadium.

:19:33. > :19:36.Saints are ninth in the top league and will provide a hard obstacle for

:19:37. > :19:40.Gary Johnson's team to overcome, but this is the Cup and the Somerset

:19:41. > :19:45.Greens are up for it. I am not sure they will necessarily enjoy playing

:19:46. > :19:50.us. We may not be a huge fixture in their calendar. We have to upset the

:19:51. > :19:58.odds, work hard, believe in our own tactics, and try to spoil theirs. So

:19:59. > :20:02.at least you go into the battle believing that you can win it.

:20:03. > :20:06.And while the children from Tiverton High School are enjoying the diving

:20:07. > :20:09.which is here at the Plymouth Life Centre, let's hope the weather

:20:10. > :20:12.relents for our region's League Two sides. Plymouth Argyle look to

:20:13. > :20:16.recover from two home defeats last week by Cheltenham Town at Home

:20:17. > :20:18.Park. The Gloucestershire team lie just a point behind Argyle, who are

:20:19. > :20:26.11th in the table. Exeter City have lost two games to

:20:27. > :20:29.the weather. They hope for better against Wimbledon, while Torquay

:20:30. > :20:31.United go for a second successive win under new manager Chris

:20:32. > :20:38.Hargreaves at Oxford. Exeter Chiefs' head coach, Rob

:20:39. > :20:41.Baxter, has been talking about his induction into the Premiership Rugby

:20:42. > :20:44.Hall of Fame. It includes luminaries such as former Leicester and England

:20:45. > :20:48.captain Martin Johnson, and referee Ed Morrison. Baxter leads the Chiefs

:20:49. > :20:50.into their final two pool ties in this season's Anglo`Welsh Cup,

:20:51. > :20:55.starting with Ospreys at Sandy Park tomorrow. Right from the board,

:20:56. > :21:01.right through to the cleaning staff, we are all in it together. We went

:21:02. > :21:04.to Cardiff last week in the Heineken Cup and I looked around and the

:21:05. > :21:08.whole office staff were in there, enjoying a day out in Cardiff. That

:21:09. > :21:12.is the kind of club we are, where we enjoy being in the Premiership, we

:21:13. > :21:15.see it as an opportunity and something to enjoy, not a battle to

:21:16. > :21:18.worry about. The Cornish Pirates will leapfrog

:21:19. > :21:22.London Scottish in the Championship ` that's if they win in Richmond

:21:23. > :21:25.tomorrow. A tough one for head coach Ian Davies, as the Pirates narrowly

:21:26. > :21:28.beat the Scots exiles 16`8 in November.

:21:29. > :21:31.Plymouth Albion, eighth, have had equally difficult ordeal with

:21:32. > :21:40.fourth`place Bristol on Sunday. Quite a few sports going on just

:21:41. > :21:42.below me. For example, rowing, table cricket, archery and seated

:21:43. > :21:45.volleyball. Yes, it is the Winter Ability Games. An Olympic bronze

:21:46. > :21:50.medallist from Beijing 2008 proved popular with all at the Life Centre.

:21:51. > :21:53.Open water swimmer Cassie Patten from Cardingham in Cornwall was the

:21:54. > :22:00.special guest, offering her advice and expertise to the children, and

:22:01. > :22:07.those not necessarily in the pool. One of my tasks for the day is to

:22:08. > :22:10.sign as many autographs as possible. In the programme there's a "Find

:22:11. > :22:13.Cassie Patten" section. Sometimes just talking to young people and

:22:14. > :22:19.sharing your experiences can really help inspire them to participate and

:22:20. > :22:22.then carry on with sport. It was the biggest turnout for a Winter Ability

:22:23. > :22:26.Games, and the first time the event had been held at the Life Centre.

:22:27. > :22:31.The superb facilities were a hit for all concerned. Wow. I wish when I

:22:32. > :22:37.was young we had facilities like this. Incredible. We are really

:22:38. > :22:40.lucky that our youngsters have access to this today, because it is

:22:41. > :22:44.a stunning facility. Will you becoming back next year, or do you

:22:45. > :22:48.try to get around the county? We try to use different venues but when you

:22:49. > :22:51.look at this it is difficult to compete with.

:22:52. > :22:52.So who's to say it will not be returning to the Life Centre next

:22:53. > :22:56.year? Finally from me, the best of luck to

:22:57. > :22:59.Exeter Chiefs' Dave Ewers and Sam Hill, both of whom make their

:23:00. > :23:03.England Saxons rugby debut tomorrow night against Ireland at Gloucester.

:23:04. > :23:08.And two more ` Dave Lewis and Henry Slade, are replacements.

:23:09. > :23:11.Back now to our top story, and a major incident has been declared for

:23:12. > :23:14.part of the Somerset Levels, which remain flooded. Our Correspondent

:23:15. > :23:25.Clinton Rogers is there with the latest on the situation.

:23:26. > :23:29.Thank you. As you can see, it is raining here tonight, and more heavy

:23:30. > :23:34.rain is forecast for Sunday. That is the problem, almost as soon as the

:23:35. > :23:39.Environment Agency pump the water of the Moors, nature puts it back

:23:40. > :23:43.again. The village behind me near Bridgwater, the septic tank drainage

:23:44. > :23:47.systems of most of the houses have now been overwhelmed and there is

:23:48. > :23:52.sewage overflowing. The question a lot of people are asking now is how

:23:53. > :23:55.soon before that becomes a public health issue? Small wonder the Civic

:23:56. > :24:00.leaders have decided to call this, as they have done today, they say

:24:01. > :24:07.they need help and in whatever form this help comes, one big is for

:24:08. > :24:08.sure, it is desperately needed. `` one thing is for sure. The

:24:09. > :24:18.weather. Hopefully some dry weather again

:24:19. > :24:23.tomorrow, but as we have just heard, there is more rain in the forecast

:24:24. > :24:28.for Sunday, not just wet weather on Sunday but windy conditions, too. We

:24:29. > :24:33.have had about 20 millimetres today. The rainfall is now moving

:24:34. > :24:37.through Somerset that it will be a while before that clears. The good

:24:38. > :24:42.news is it will be drier on Saturday, but more rain forecast for

:24:43. > :24:50.Sunday. Windy all weekend. Several flood warnings in force. You can go

:24:51. > :24:58.to the Environment Agency website to find them, or use the telephone

:24:59. > :25:03.number. Lots on this satellite picture. Lots of cloud. Something of

:25:04. > :25:08.a break in that cloud out to the West of our land. That will arrive

:25:09. > :25:16.later on this evening. `` the West of Ireland. A chance for some

:25:17. > :25:20.brighter weather tomorrow. We might even get some sunshine. A few

:25:21. > :25:22.showers towards the end of the day, mostly along the Bristol Channel and

:25:23. > :25:29.through central parts of England. This lump of cloud leaving the East

:25:30. > :25:34.coast of Canada will raise across the Atlantic to bring us more wet

:25:35. > :25:38.weather on Sunday. But this is quite fast moving so even though we have a

:25:39. > :25:41.very wet start to the day on Sunday, it moves away quickly

:25:42. > :25:45.through the afternoon. The rain we have at the moment is stuttering

:25:46. > :25:49.along, not leaving particularly fast. Brighter colours in their

:25:50. > :25:54.showing where the rain has been in the last few hours. More of that to

:25:55. > :26:01.come for Somerset and Dorset for the next few hours before it finally

:26:02. > :26:02.moves out of the way, and we are left with slightly better

:26:03. > :26:09.conditions, improving visibility. Some mist about but not be low cloud

:26:10. > :26:13.and fog we have seen today. Tomorrow, quite a lot of cloud,

:26:14. > :26:18.briefly some sunny spells, and then towards the end of the day, a line

:26:19. > :26:22.of showers through Pembrokeshire and then through the seven a street, so

:26:23. > :26:29.perhaps affecting North Devon and Somerset. But for most of us

:26:30. > :26:37.tomorrow a windy day. `` through the Severn estuary. Not as warm. Quite a

:26:38. > :26:40.wind chill with the stiff breeze. From the Isles of Scilly, some of

:26:41. > :26:57.the best weather. The waves are likely to be pretty

:26:58. > :26:59.big and not necessarily that clean either. Cleanest along the South

:27:00. > :27:16.coast. The wind starts at eight force five

:27:17. > :27:21.tomorrow and increases to six or seven, particularly along the North

:27:22. > :27:26.Devon and Cornwall coasts. There is a warning for the rain on Sunday.

:27:27. > :27:33.It will also be quite a windy day. 50 mph or 60 mph. Cold Monday and

:27:34. > :27:38.Tuesday next week, even with the risk of some wintry showers.

:27:39. > :27:44.Your BBC local radio stations will keep you up`to`date with the weather

:27:45. > :27:48.situation across the weekend. Goodbye.
