:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening. Welcome to Friday s When is it going to end?
:00:07. > :00:10.Good evening. Welcome to Friday s BBC Channel Islands. We're heading
:00:11. > :00:13.into the weekend looking at these stories for you this evening: First
:00:14. > :00:16.the weather, now French strike action cripples Condor ferries with
:00:17. > :00:21.no services to France for the foreseeable future. Flooding brings
:00:22. > :00:26.chaos to Guernsey, as dozens of roads are submerged. Plus, we look
:00:27. > :00:27.at how sea birds, and even hedgehogs, are suffering in the
:00:28. > :00:43.winter storms. Another big storm moving into our
:00:44. > :00:48.corner of Europe. Exceptional gusts of wind, over 70 mph tomorrow
:00:49. > :00:57.afternoon over the island. All the details later in the programme.
:00:58. > :01:04.Condor has cancelled ferries to and from St Malo for a second day due to
:01:05. > :01:06.industrial action. French crew staged an unofficial walk`out
:01:07. > :01:16.yesterday, and have not returned to work today. Edward Sault is live at
:01:17. > :01:27.Jersey's Elizabeth Harbour tonight. Edward, why are staff on strike The
:01:28. > :01:32.crew of Condor went on strike yesterday, this is the deck crew,
:01:33. > :01:35.rather than the cabin crew. Their terms and conditions are based on
:01:36. > :01:40.legislation in Guernsey because that is where Condor ferries are based,
:01:41. > :01:43.but the French crew wanted change to French legislation saying they do
:01:44. > :01:47.not get good pay and they say Social Security benefits are not good for
:01:48. > :01:55.them either. This is what the union had to say by phone from France
:01:56. > :02:02.There needs to be a provision in the contract with Condor, which says
:02:03. > :02:09.that it operates between Germany and Saint Malo only if there isn't an
:02:10. > :02:21.agreement `` an agreement between them. They want to be part of the
:02:22. > :02:25.resolution of the conflict. Condor told me earlier that this strike
:02:26. > :02:29.came out of the blue for them. They have representatives on board to try
:02:30. > :02:35.and negotiate a solution with the crew. It would be inappropriate for
:02:36. > :02:38.us to come up with a solution that is not right that only our
:02:39. > :02:42.colleagues but also to make sure the company is viable and to make sure
:02:43. > :02:48.that the islanders are protected. The last thing we want to do is have
:02:49. > :02:50.some pressure on fares, so we want to make sure everything we do is the
:02:51. > :02:59.right solution for everybody. Pressure has been mounting on both
:03:00. > :03:06.governments in Jersey and Guernsey to get involved. We have heard in
:03:07. > :03:08.the last few moments that jersey are considering intervening. It's not
:03:09. > :03:16.clear how long the disruption will last, but sailing tomorrow has been
:03:17. > :03:18.cancelled. Condor say because of the bad weather predicted, and not
:03:19. > :03:26.because of the ongoing industrial action. Edward, thank you. The
:03:27. > :03:29.Channel Islands had a brief moment today to recover from the week's
:03:30. > :03:32.stormy weather. Guernsey was hit particularly hard last night, as
:03:33. > :03:35.roads were flooded after exceptional rainfall. The island has already had
:03:36. > :03:40.its wettest February in 35 years. Mike Wilkins reports.
:03:41. > :03:50.After a night where dozens of Guernsey's roads were flooded, this
:03:51. > :03:53.morning some were still submerged. I am close to this reservoir, and
:03:54. > :03:59.behind me you can see the road is still flooded and obviously
:04:00. > :04:02.unsurpassable. It's not just the roads that have had a soaking, water
:04:03. > :04:06.has knocked this church and pre`school out of action for weeks.
:04:07. > :04:13.It's one of those acts of God, if you like. And, of course, this main
:04:14. > :04:18.hall is a day school for the little bears of which they have had to make
:04:19. > :04:24.alternative emergency arrangements elsewhere. It is like an evacuation.
:04:25. > :04:30.And just down the road another kind of damage was being surveyed, the
:04:31. > :04:35.damage to our wildlife. It is a major concern. Already we can say
:04:36. > :04:41.that birds like cormorants, shags, maybe a few other species will have
:04:42. > :04:45.already decided that they cannot breathe this year. It's early
:04:46. > :04:50.February but that decision will be made for them. They won't be able to
:04:51. > :04:55.get into condition to last the breeding season, so survival becomes
:04:56. > :04:58.priority rather than breeding. Over at the animal shelter, guillemots
:04:59. > :05:01.are among some of the animals brought in during the storms,
:05:02. > :05:08.including this pigeon called Droopy who has a broken wing. If anybody
:05:09. > :05:13.comes across an injured animal, we would urge them to call this here.
:05:14. > :05:17.Or just pop the animal to the shelter, there's somebody here 4
:05:18. > :05:20.hours a day, seven days a week and somebody in a vehicle ready to
:05:21. > :05:24.respond to any sick or injured animal. There has been some good
:05:25. > :05:27.news on the wildlife front. Earlier in the week this young dolphin was
:05:28. > :05:30.stranded at Pembroke Bay. Well, today, I spotted him swimming around
:05:31. > :05:32.Beaucette Marina, where I believe there's a decent supply of fish to
:05:33. > :05:39.keep him going. Well, a happy ending in Guernsey,
:05:40. > :05:47.but in Jersey the bad weather has been causing problems for the
:05:48. > :05:50.island's wildlife. Conservationists are worried after dozens of dead sea
:05:51. > :05:53.birds have washed up, while animals like hedgehogs are struggling to
:05:54. > :05:56.hibernate. And there are fears the weather could be the final straw for
:05:57. > :06:01.one well`loved island resident. Jen Smith has more. Puffins are
:06:02. > :06:03.unmistakable birds with their brightly coloured bills and can
:06:04. > :06:10.sometimes be spotted on parts of the island 's coast. Puffins in Jersey
:06:11. > :06:13.are a rare sight at the best of times. But if you're going to have
:06:14. > :06:17.any chance of spotting one, it's here on the north coast that you've
:06:18. > :06:20.got the best odds. Unfortunately those odds have now been cut.
:06:21. > :06:29.Durrell's bird expert Dr Glyn Young says Jersey's puffins are dying out.
:06:30. > :06:33.Some go further south in the Atlantic, but obviously birds that
:06:34. > :06:38.winter long way out to sea in rough weather have bad problems, and when
:06:39. > :06:41.the sea becomes rough they cannot feed and they get thrown around in
:06:42. > :06:45.the wind. It's not very nice out there. And it's not just puffins
:06:46. > :06:48.that have been affected by this year's stormy seas and gale force
:06:49. > :06:56.winds. Dr Young says his team's found dozens of dead birds of all
:06:57. > :07:01.species. We call these wrecks. Following big storms you get a wreck
:07:02. > :07:05.of sea birds, big not just dead ones, sick ones, or sometimes one
:07:06. > :07:09.just washed into land when they shouldn't be. This time of year
:07:10. > :07:12.with the storms, it's not unusual. The weather's also affected wildlife
:07:13. > :07:16.on land. These Jersey hedgehogs have struggled to hibernate because the
:07:17. > :07:19.wind and rain has left them hungry. You're being asked to keep an eye
:07:20. > :07:27.out for island wildlife before the winter's out.
:07:28. > :07:32.A Jersey gynaecologist will have to go through a period of re`education
:07:33. > :07:35.and assessment before he can go back into unrestricted practice in either
:07:36. > :07:38.the NHS or privately, after action from a disciplinary body. Dr Gamal
:07:39. > :07:46.Mohamed admitted poor performance in four key areas of his work. The
:07:47. > :07:50.Medical Practitioners Tribunal service could have decided to strike
:07:51. > :07:53.him off, but instead agreed that he could continue to work under
:07:54. > :07:56.supervision. He has already had an offer of retraining at a hospital in
:07:57. > :07:59.Birmingham. The Chief Ministers of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man
:08:00. > :08:03.have reaffirmed their commitment to working together on a range of key
:08:04. > :08:06.international issues. Senator Ian Gorst, Deputy Peter Harwood and
:08:07. > :08:10.Member of the House of Keys Allan Bell met in Douglas in the Isle of
:08:11. > :08:12.Man today. The meeting focused on banking reform, and social issues.
:08:13. > :08:16.Two extra customs officers will be employed next summer in a bid to
:08:17. > :08:18.reduce excessive amounts of duty`free tobacco being imported
:08:19. > :08:21.into Jersey. Nearly 2,000 searches were carried out at the port and
:08:22. > :08:24.airport last year, and over 180 000 cigarettes were seized from
:08:25. > :08:33.passengers going over their duty`free limit. That's worth
:08:34. > :08:36.?39,000 in duty evasion. Could you save three months' salary for a
:08:37. > :08:38.rainy day? Well, that's the recommendation from Jersey's
:08:39. > :08:42.Citizens Advice Bureau, as concerns grow about the level of personal
:08:43. > :08:44.debt in the island. So how doable is saving 90 days of pay? We've been
:08:45. > :08:57.out in St Helier to find out. It is a nice thought, but whether
:08:58. > :08:59.people can practically do it at the moment is another issue. I think
:09:00. > :09:06.everybody would like to, but if it could really happen, I think people
:09:07. > :09:09.would struggle. Actually, we don't put any money aside because all of
:09:10. > :09:16.the money we are saving is for the baby. Burning is OK but it's saving
:09:17. > :09:20.it is the hard part, especially families with children, it's
:09:21. > :09:29.expensive `` earning. You have to pay your rent, food, bills. There's
:09:30. > :09:32.nothing left. You can't save. It must be jolly difficult now. It was
:09:33. > :09:37.difficult enough in my era, but it must be really difficult now.
:09:38. > :09:42.It seems saving is tough for lots of islanders at the moment, but just
:09:43. > :09:45.how healthy are our collective finances? Jersey's Consumer Council
:09:46. > :09:48.has partnered up with the Citizens Advice Bureau and Community Savings
:09:49. > :09:49.limited to launch an anonymous survey to find out. Emma Chambers
:09:50. > :09:55.reports. The stresses and strains debt can
:09:56. > :09:59.bring, causing many people to bury their heads in the sand rather than
:10:00. > :10:04.talking about it. And that's why this survey has been launched. It's
:10:05. > :10:07.been sent out to 4,000 randomly`chosen households to find
:10:08. > :10:11.out the state of our personal finances. You don't put your name on
:10:12. > :10:19.it, so it's hoped this anonymity will encourage people to be open
:10:20. > :10:23.about debt worries. It is, I think, a far wider problem, particularly in
:10:24. > :10:27.relation to loans and credit cards. I think with less affluent people
:10:28. > :10:34.there is a growing payday loan crisis as well. To find out how
:10:35. > :10:37.serious the issue is on the island, Jerzy's consumer Council has teamed
:10:38. > :10:45.up with two local charities that help those with money troubles ``
:10:46. > :10:49.Jersey. This is the first time we've worked together in a concerted way,
:10:50. > :10:52.so when we get the results, we want to drive through them and get
:10:53. > :10:56.something meaningful out the back of them and so we can focus better on
:10:57. > :11:01.what we are doing and provide a service tailored to the needs of the
:11:02. > :11:06.community. One of those services will educate people how to manage
:11:07. > :11:09.their spending. If we can start running workshops with people so
:11:10. > :11:16.people don't bury their head in the sand, Cumbria by surly. There is a
:11:17. > :11:19.stick `` they come to us early. There is a stigma, but we want them
:11:20. > :11:22.to come here and help each other out. It's hoped the survey findings
:11:23. > :11:29.will help people with money problems find a brighter future. If we were
:11:30. > :11:33.saving for a rainy day, we would have used it all up this week as we
:11:34. > :11:34.have had rain and wild weather. It is the winds to look out for this
:11:35. > :11:42.week. I think so, but that's not to say
:11:43. > :11:45.the rain won't cause problems. I think the main theme is the strength
:11:46. > :11:50.of the winds. It's a deep area of low pressure, and the weather `` we
:11:51. > :11:53.are the furthest away really, but even where we are we will feel the
:11:54. > :11:58.influence. Mainly because it will whip up the seas and we will have
:11:59. > :12:02.some big waves coming in from the west or south west tomorrow. Severe
:12:03. > :12:06.gale force winds and the showers. Every time a shower comes along the
:12:07. > :12:10.winds pick up even more. We are expected to see some lively gusts of
:12:11. > :12:16.wind. That is a warning to the weekend. It might ease a little bit
:12:17. > :12:19.on Sunday. Perhaps some good news in the forecast, but the tides are not
:12:20. > :12:23.as high as they have been and we have moved up the spring tides, so
:12:24. > :12:29.that is good news. But the strength of the wind could be damaging, up to
:12:30. > :12:35.70 mph on Saturday afternoon. Here is the low a big one, taking up much
:12:36. > :12:39.of the Atlantic. Moving steadily towards the middle of the islands.
:12:40. > :12:42.One line of rain will creep away during the night and be replaced by
:12:43. > :12:45.showers and it is the blustery showers that followed behind that
:12:46. > :12:51.could give us the real strength of wind. We will see some gusts of
:12:52. > :12:57.wind, slightly less windy in Sunday. The isobars not so tightly
:12:58. > :13:01.packed. Having said that, still a risk blustery showers. Windy and wet
:13:02. > :13:08.tonight with gusts up to 50 or 0 mph. The winds are veering south,
:13:09. > :13:12.dropping overnight, and temperatures down to six degrees. Tomorrow,
:13:13. > :13:16.plenty of showers around, briefly some sunshine to cheer us up, but
:13:17. > :13:23.steadily increasing strength of wind. And by the the gusts of up to
:13:24. > :13:27.40 or 50 mph, much stronger than that though in some of the blustery
:13:28. > :13:31.showers coming along as well. You need to wrap up warm as nine degrees
:13:32. > :13:36.as the top temperature. As the forecast the coastal waters, here
:13:37. > :13:54.they are. `` the forecast for the coastal waters.
:13:55. > :14:02.Sunday a bit quieter, sharp showers, colder air, and a bit of respite on
:14:03. > :14:09.Monday, but Monday night going into Tuesday, more wind and rain. Be
:14:10. > :14:14.careful this week and `` weekend. BBC radio Jersey and radio Guernsey
:14:15. > :14:19.will keep you up`to`date with travel problems over the weekend, but from
:14:20. > :14:23.the TV team, that's it for now. We leave you with some images of our
:14:24. > :14:52.stormy, stormy week. be Easter. And the bad weather
:14:53. > :14:57.continues. David is here with me now. Albert
:14:58. > :15:03.had `` how bad will it get this weekend? There are a couple of
:15:04. > :15:09.subtle differences but the strength of wind is a worry at this stage. 70
:15:10. > :15:12.to 80 mph winds which will cause damage and disruption through
:15:13. > :15:16.Saturday afternoon as well as get more rainfall. Another 25
:15:17. > :15:19.millimetres possible tonight. Even more through Saturday. You can find
:15:20. > :15:26.out where the most up`to`date warnings are by going to the Met
:15:27. > :15:29.office website or for the flood warnings please go to the
:15:30. > :15:35.environment agency website. Thank you. A full forecast later in the
:15:36. > :15:39.programme. Onto the sport now and Dave's been
:15:40. > :15:48.getting his feet wet in Torquay but not in the sea. So, please explain,
:15:49. > :15:53.Mr Gibbins. Hello. The weather has affected South West sport,
:15:54. > :16:00.especially at Torquay United and Exeter city. Both clubs have had two
:16:01. > :16:03.home games called off so far this winter, with the possibility of a
:16:04. > :16:07.third this weekend. It means they lose out on vital income through the
:16:08. > :16:12.turnstiles and that has serious repercussions. Torquay United last
:16:13. > :16:18.play David Ballmer here on January the 4th. They have been pitchfork to
:16:19. > :16:22.into trying, albeit in vain, to try to get the surface in a decent
:16:23. > :16:28.condition. Alas, the amount of water has proved to be the winner. Even
:16:29. > :16:33.working on golf courses, I don't think I have ever experienced such
:16:34. > :16:37.an amount of rain consecutively. Even with the rain last year, it was
:16:38. > :16:45.spread over more time. I have never experienced anything like it. A key
:16:46. > :16:49.revenue scheme `` revenue stream has been taken away from the club. Last
:16:50. > :16:52.year, they make the club secretary redundant along with two part`time
:16:53. > :16:58.ground staff, so they are feeling the pinch. We do have overdraft
:16:59. > :17:02.facilities with our bank manager and there is a little bit of money in
:17:03. > :17:07.the account, but the harsh galaxy is that money must be found. As we have
:17:08. > :17:09.seen in the past, that money has come from our wonderful Board of
:17:10. > :17:15.Directors who have made short`term loans to help us through the cash
:17:16. > :17:22.flow problem. Welcome to Waterworld, I don't know what we are
:17:23. > :17:29.doing here. We don't do home games! The manager was appointed only a
:17:30. > :17:34.month ago, but due to the weather, he has had his first three games as
:17:35. > :17:41.a way games. It is incredible, isn't it, not to be able to work at home
:17:42. > :17:46.but there is not much you can do. Other than spending ten or ?15,000
:17:47. > :17:50.to get the pitch covered, which we might have to do in future. If it
:17:51. > :17:54.saves four games a season in the long run, it pays for itself in two
:17:55. > :17:58.or three. The weather of course will have the final say in what's on and
:17:59. > :18:01.off this weekend. The rest of the regional football could be badly
:18:02. > :18:05.affected after the overnight deluge. Your BBC local radio station and BBC
:18:06. > :18:07.Sport Online will keep you informed. In rugby, Exeter Chiefs' Premiership
:18:08. > :18:10.duel with Northampton looks safe enough. However, the Cornish
:18:11. > :18:13.Pirates' game at Moseley tonight has been called off.
:18:14. > :18:17.Exeter Chiefs rugby player Jack Nowell has another chance to make an
:18:18. > :18:20.impact for England in his second international appearance. The
:18:21. > :18:24.20`year`old wing, from Newlyn, faces Scotland at Murrayfield tomorrow in
:18:25. > :18:27.the Six Nations' Championship. Nowell showed glimpses of what he
:18:28. > :18:37.can do last weekend during England's defeat in Paris against France.
:18:38. > :18:43.The current issue is not something that has hit him before but I think
:18:44. > :18:48.a whole lot of things came into it, the emotion, the intensity, so it
:18:49. > :18:52.was a disappointing ten to take him off `` time to take him off but he
:18:53. > :18:55.is such a strong character that he will bounce back this week. I am
:18:56. > :18:58.sure. Finally, four of the world's top
:18:59. > :19:01.windsurfers have flown in to the South West to confront the extreme
:19:02. > :19:04.weather expected this weekend. The Red Bull Storm Chasers have been to
:19:05. > :19:10.Ireland and Tasmania to face the wildest conditions. Now, it's
:19:11. > :19:14.Gwithian in Cornwall. Postcards around the region are warning people
:19:15. > :19:21.not to put themselves at risk and to stay well clear of breaking waves.
:19:22. > :19:24.Have a safe weekend. A private collection of paintings by
:19:25. > :19:26.the late artist Robert Lenkiewicz opens for the first time to the
:19:27. > :19:29.public tomorrow. The "Family Matters" exhibition features
:19:30. > :19:31.paintings owned by the Plymouth artist's family.
:19:32. > :19:34.It's being held at Hannahs at Seale`Hayne, an education and arts
:19:35. > :19:36.centre for people with learning disabilities near Newton Abbot. From
:19:37. > :19:46.there Spotlight's Janine Jansen reports. This Plymouth artists had
:19:47. > :19:53.11 children with seven different women, dying in 2002 aged 60. Now an
:19:54. > :19:59.exhibition of Private family paintings will be shown to be public
:20:00. > :20:02.for the very first time. We are absolutely thrilled. One of the aims
:20:03. > :20:08.was that we became percent of excellence for art and last year we
:20:09. > :20:13.had a fantastic exhibition and this year we have this incredible
:20:14. > :20:19.exhibition. Annie Hill Smith had three children with him and it was
:20:20. > :20:27.her idea to show the public the paintings. It happens that a lot of
:20:28. > :20:31.the extended family have paintings, in a way that most people have
:20:32. > :20:35.photographs, we have Robert's work. They will see every kind of
:20:36. > :20:41.domesticity, I suppose. From somebody in labour to somebody
:20:42. > :20:47.wrapped up in a buggy. It is just that the person who is creating the
:20:48. > :20:53.images wasn't a dad with a camera, it was a dad with a pencil or a
:20:54. > :20:58.paintbrush. You have got one of the most unique artists since someone
:20:59. > :21:01.like William Blake in England who again was ignored and now is a
:21:02. > :21:07.national treasure. Robert was like our fine golf, our great original
:21:08. > :21:11.artist who asked the question that we did not want to be asked. And yet
:21:12. > :21:16.we have pushed him aside and forgotten him and it is a great
:21:17. > :21:24.shame. The exhibition opens tomorrow and runs until the 23rd of March.
:21:25. > :21:27.Two and a half years ago, a chance discovery on Dartmoor sent
:21:28. > :21:30.archaeologists into a spin. It was a previously unexcavated tomb `
:21:31. > :21:34.complete with a treasure trove of prehistoric jewellery, bags and
:21:35. > :21:37.beads. The finds raised the tantalising
:21:38. > :21:47.possibility that this was the final resting place of a moorland
:21:48. > :21:53.Princess. As Sam Smith reports, the mystery is unravelled in a special
:21:54. > :21:56.BBC South West programme tonight. It may be the most important
:21:57. > :22:04.archaeological find on Dartmoor ever. I have worked on Dartmoor for
:22:05. > :22:12.over 20 years and never would have anticipated something like this. In
:22:13. > :22:17.tonight's programme, Mike goes on the Trail of the discovery of a 4000
:22:18. > :22:25.year`old tomb which is the history books. This kind of fine is
:22:26. > :22:35.incredibly rare. They do not come along every few years, every 100
:22:36. > :22:39.years. Wow, look at that. He meets the team of craftsmen trying to
:22:40. > :22:44.understand these fines by creating detailed replicas. We have ended up
:22:45. > :22:49.with a product very similar to the originals. He reveals how
:22:50. > :22:55.magnificent the artefacts would have been when new and what they tell us
:22:56. > :23:00.about the people who made them. The story is a vivid insight into how
:23:01. > :23:04.skilled ancient crafts were, how sophisticated their society must
:23:05. > :23:07.have been, and above all, the respect for the dead in what seems
:23:08. > :23:11.to have been a deeply spiritual culture.
:23:12. > :23:17.Sam Smith with a preview of what is a fascinating programme. It's called
:23:18. > :23:24.Mystery of the Moor and it's at 7.30 here on BBC One.
:23:25. > :23:33.We have been warned of more serious weather to come. How bad is it
:23:34. > :23:39.looking? There is way to address this up. The strength of wind is
:23:40. > :23:41.likely to be up to 70 or 80 mph tomorrow afternoon. Slightly
:23:42. > :23:46.different direction than earlier in the week, with slightly less high
:23:47. > :23:52.tides, but we are expecting severe gale force winds, showers that could
:23:53. > :23:56.have a wintry flavour as we get into Sunday, so there is a lot happening
:23:57. > :24:00.at the moment. There is a warning about heavy rain both tonight and
:24:01. > :24:08.into tomorrow. Accompanying map, strong winds. Winds tonight of about
:24:09. > :24:11.60 mph. Perhaps dropping a little bit overnight, but picking up
:24:12. > :24:18.tomorrow with gusts tomorrow afternoon of up to 60 to 80 mph.
:24:19. > :24:26.Inland, we could still see 60 to 70 mph. The environment agency have 25
:24:27. > :24:28.flood lines of `` flood warnings across the south`west, with two
:24:29. > :24:34.severe flood warnings. There is the flood line number: Please go to
:24:35. > :24:39.their website if you want to as well. This curl of Cloud is the size
:24:40. > :24:43.of the storm. It is so big it is taking up most of the Atlantic. A
:24:44. > :24:47.very deep area of low pressure as it moves toward Ireland. A line of rain
:24:48. > :24:53.crossing us through the night, moving quite fast, being replaced by
:24:54. > :24:57.showers both tomorrow and Sunday. Earlier today, as you can see, we
:24:58. > :25:06.had a clearance of all the cloud, the winds were lighter and we had a
:25:07. > :25:09.bit of sunshine. This `` these pictures were taken earlier and you
:25:10. > :25:17.could be forgiven for thinking this was a pleasant summers day, but that
:25:18. > :25:20.was only this morning, as the cloud moved in a game this afternoon. A
:25:21. > :25:24.small chance for people to enjoy some sunshine but it will be a
:25:25. > :25:27.different story tomorrow. The winds will be a real feature. Let's look
:25:28. > :25:31.at what is happening overnight tonight. This is the rain band
:25:32. > :25:38.spilling across the south`west of England, roundabout 2225 millimetres
:25:39. > :25:46.of rain overnight. It will be replaced by showers. `` 20`25
:25:47. > :25:50.millimetres of rain. Gale force winds overnight, with temperatures
:25:51. > :25:55.down as low as five or six degrees. Tomorrow, showers will come and go
:25:56. > :26:00.throughout the night, with some very heavy showers in places. When they
:26:01. > :26:04.turn up, we get increased wind strength as well. For most of us, it
:26:05. > :26:08.will be at severe gale force for most of the day, but the speeds will
:26:09. > :26:12.increase throughout the Bristol Channel coast and North Devon
:26:13. > :26:18.tomorrow afternoon. Temperatures tomorrow eight or nine degrees. Some
:26:19. > :26:25.very big waves outer sea, with severe gale force winds and heavy
:26:26. > :26:33.showers as well for the Isles of Scilly.
:26:34. > :26:35.The coast is a dangerous place to be. This
:26:36. > :26:42.The coast is a dangerous place to be. is the average height of ways
:26:43. > :26:47.that we expect to see but it could be as high as 20 feet in parts of
:26:48. > :26:55.Cornwall and Devon. Now, the coastal waters forecast:
:26:56. > :27:02.it really is very, very lightly. Slightly less windy on Sunday, quiet
:27:03. > :27:08.on Monday, more wet weather on Tuesday.
:27:09. > :27:16.Our main news tonight, another area of the region has fallen foul of the
:27:17. > :27:20.weather as a rail line in Somerset is blocked. And the Prime Minister
:27:21. > :27:24.says lessons will be learned. Tonight the emergency services have
:27:25. > :27:27.told us they're on stand`by to deal with the next storm heading towards
:27:28. > :27:30.our region. They've set up special control centres in Truro, Plymouth
:27:31. > :27:33.and Exeter. BBC Radio Cornwall and BBC Radio Devon are on air
:27:34. > :27:36.throughout this evening with special programmes. And of course, there'll
:27:37. > :27:39.be continuing coverage of the weather situation on BBC local
:27:40. > :27:42.radio, here on Spotlight and online across the weekend.
:27:43. > :28:24.Have a safe weekend. Good night. It's your job to keep law
:28:25. > :28:36.and order, isn't it? It must be exciting being
:28:37. > :28:39.a policewoman. It has its moments.
