Thank you. That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Ferries to France are cancelled as Condor's row continues with French | :00:11. | :00:25. | |
workers. We'll have the latest on union talks from our reporter in St | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Malo and hear from island businesses who are affected. It is bad enough | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
with the weather. If there are going to be continuing problems with the | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
connection to France, I do not know where the go. Plus, parents protest | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
at on the spot fines for parking near their children's school. The | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
rates are busy. Sometimes, you have to drop off your child. And as | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Sunday trading comes closer to reality, we ask if shoppers really | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
want it. It is a good idea, just like the rest of the world. If you | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
live in London, fair enough, but not here. | :00:59. | :01:07. | |
The strike by Condor ferry workers is now in its fifth day. There have | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
been no sailings to France from the Channel Islands since the middle of | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
last week. French Condor staff want their contracts changed from | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Guernsey terms to French ones so they get better pay and social | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
security benefits Last Thursday the unexpected strike began which left | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
around 250 passengers bound for the Channel Islands stuck in France | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Sailings on Friday and over the weekend were cancelled because of | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
the strike and bad weather. And today negotiations continue on board | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
the Condor Vitesse in St Malo between the unions and Condor | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
management with no end in sight to the dispute. The disruption is now | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
causing problems for Jersey businesses too as Jen Smith reports. | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
Destined for the continent. If they could get there. These crab and | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
lobster would be sold for thousands in Spain, Italy and Portugal. But | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
they have to get through France first. And with no ferry sailing to | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
St Malo, it's put Tony Porritt out of pocket. We do not do local. It is | :02:08. | :02:17. | |
90% plus exports. We have to get into France to distribute on to | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Italy and Spain from there. That is where we go every week of the year, | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
normally, and if it carries on, we have had it. Tony estimates he's | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
lost around ?20,000 every time a sailing has been cancelled. But it's | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
not just about money. This French shop has been left bare after an | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
assistant got stuck in France. She was sailing to St Malo last | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Saturday. It was to pick up our next exhibition to display in our shop | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
windows here. She could not come back. She is in charge to welcome | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
visitors here and she cannot do that from home will stop there are a lot | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
of adjustments. There is not much we can do. Condor's boss James Fulford | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
spent today on the Condor Rapide in St Malo negotiating with workers. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
They're now demanding the boat is reregistered in France instead of | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Guernsey. We need to persuade the guys these are massive changes they | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
are demanding. Some may have area it but they cannot be done in the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
short`term. They need to go back to work while we negotiate. We resent | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
having our business and the needs and requirements and businesses of | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
our customers on the island being jeopardised by this rather reckless | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
action. And that includes Tony, who says if the walk`out lasts much | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
longer, his customers will follow suit. | :03:48. | :04:00. | |
So with negotiations continuing on board today is there any end in | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
sight to the strike? The striker 's been going on for | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
five days and it looks like there is no end in sight. They want to have | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
changes on pensions and unemployment insurance. A union described the | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
contracts they currently have as well below international standards. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
The two sides are talking but there is no sign of a deal yet. It looks | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
like the boat behind to be will not be going anywhere soon. | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
Parents in Guernsey could be in for a shock after the launch of a | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
campaign to crack down on illegal parking around schools. But it's not | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
just one school that's been identified as a problem. The | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
campaign will be rolled out across the island in the coming months | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
No parking, no waiting, no excuses. Parents and children arriving at | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
this infant School confronted with a clear message. Guernsey police have | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
teamed up the charity to promote the morning. There are always problems | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
with parents who want to take their children to the school gate and not | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
have to walk anywhere at all with them. In fact, even here, just 0 | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
yards down the road, there are plenty of parking spaces and oozes | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
only a minute or two to walk to the crossing. `` and it is only a minute | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
or two. This yellow line means no cars are allowed to park on this | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
road but it is claimed it is being abused and a clamp`down is under | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
way. What does it mean forbearance? The roads are busy and sometimes you | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
have to drop off your child, you cannot not. It is poor, there is too | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
much traffic. There should be a one`way system made available, even | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
if it is school hours. The environment Department talked about | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
part of it being there waiting and implementing bays, they need to make | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
a one`way system. I am a resident and I would not object to it being | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
one`way. Whether people agree or not, Guernsey police will issue | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
fines of ?70 for those who choose to break the law. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
Guernsey's government has set out its priorities to try to boost the | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
economy. It includes supporting new companies, promoting diversity in | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
the finance industry and growing local business. The plans include | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
setting up an Angel Fund, which would be part`States funded and give | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
financial support to new and emerging businesses. Couples | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
planning to marry in Jersey this year could lose their wedding date | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
after a computer error at the register office. Those who have | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
looked a date must reconfirm bookings if they have not been | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
contacted. It applies to Jersey residents who have booked since the | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
beginning of this year. You're watching the BBC in the Channel | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Islands. Later in Spotlight with Justin and Natalie: Going Dutch New | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
pumps from Holland are brought in to tackle the Somerset flooding. All | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Jersey shops could be open on Sundays this summer, if the States | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
agrees. A proposal is being made to relax the law, allowing bigger | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
stores to trade seven days a week for an 18`month trial. The aim is to | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
get people spending in the island's shops again, after a hike in | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
internet purchases. Emma Chambers reports. First impressions may | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
suggest it's spend, spend, spend in St Helier. But latest figures show | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
that may not be the case. Over 0 shops closed last year and the | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
amount of parcels arriving into the island from online shopping has | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
increased by 28%. But could Sunday trading be the answer to boosting | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
our economy? Currently, shops under 700 square metres can trade. Now a | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
proposal is being made to allow bigger stores to open. We are | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
seeking to get more people and more business going to local stores, | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
rather than off the island through the internet and that is one of the | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
drivers. If you do not open on a Sunday, which is one day when people | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
are at home using the internet, local businesses do not have an | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
opportunity to compete. The proposal is for an 18` month trial starting | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
in June. So what do shoppers think? It is a good idea, like the rest of | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
the world. My concern is for the staff who have to work. I would | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
prefer it, really, stay as it is. This former Constable of St Helier | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
says he has already tried opening large supermarkets on a Sunday and | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
it didn't work. We had to stop it in the end, I had so many complaints. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
People were saying, we have to put up with lorries delivering six days | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
a week, because the supermarket although it is close, they have too | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
stuck it and it goes on from 6am till midnight. Life is hell six days | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
a week, do not make it seven, and we stopped it. In the end, it will be | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
the States which decides if seven day shopping is the direction the | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
island will follow. More than ?200,000 has already been spent | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
repairing sea defences in Jersey after the recent storms. That sum | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
could go up once the cost of removing trees and rubble is added | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
to any final cost. Every year, 1 million is spent on maintaining | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Jersey's sea defences but the true cost of recent storms won't be known | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
until the weather calms down properly. And that brings me onto | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
David. How's the weather calmed down? Will ever calm down? | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
Not this week, sadly, perhaps not the strong gusts of wind, but | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Wednesday looks violent again with gusts up to 70 mph. Tomorrow it is a | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
wet start. It will arrive later tonight. Briefly we will have a | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
quiet spell but by dawn, the rain returns and then sunshine and | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
showers. It will be a wet morning, but by late morning the sunshine | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
will be out. The rest of the day will be mainly dry apart from | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
showers. This is moving steadily. I do not think it will do not think it | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
will dwell across us. It will move at a steady rate so by the time we | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
it is clear. The will probably remain till the end of the day, | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
where there are showers. This is a new area of low pressure we are | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
worried about. As the isobars squeeze, winds of up to 70 mph | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
possible, particularly on Wednesday afternoon. Any showers now will fade | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
away. In the early hours of the morning, showers will turn up ahead | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
of the main line of rain. There will be freshening southerly wind will | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
stop by tomorrow morning, they will be about 40, 50 mph. It is a wet | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
morning. Some of the rain will be briefly happy. As it clears, into | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
the afternoon, the sunshine will be back out and apart from an isolated | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
shower, the rest of the day is largely dry, but those showers could | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
be potent, with the risk of hail, and westerly winds, so wrap up warm. | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
The forecast of a coastal waters has the winds from the South to start. | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
There will be rain followed by showers and moderate, improving good | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
visibility. The tide is not particularly high now. | :11:42. | :11:56. | |
The surf is likely to be messed up. You can see the change on the wind | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
direction. We are concerned about what is happening on Wednesday. It | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
could cause further travel disruption. Keep up`to`date on BBC | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
Guernsey and BBC Jersey websites. Quieter on Thursday, but more wet | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
weather and windy again on Friday. That is how it is looking. Stay with | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
us, for the rest of spotlight. damage to the economy might already | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
be done. Earlier I spoke to the businessman Chris Dawson, who owns | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
the Range chain of stores. I asked him what impact the disruption to | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
the rail links was having on business in the region. I have had | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
people cancelling meetings and asking if they could have them in | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Bristol or halfway to London. The impact is on hotels and restaurants | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
and so on. Sometimes, my staff would take people out to various | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
functions. It is a lot. What message do you think it sends out to the | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
rest of the UK and the world at the moment about doing business in the | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
south`west? It is a wake`up time. It is very pretty but it is not | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
practical. It is time frame you read. We are always repairing but we | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
are doing nothing for the future. We will patch that over, that will be | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
fine. They need to invest long`term. Is a perception that the south`west | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
is not open for business? There is this belief that it is cut off? It | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
is not worth considering? Yes, because people, even well educated | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
as this people, they ask me those questions, they really do not know, | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
what business is there? I think they are convinced that there was nothing | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
after Bristol. I believe that the big as this industry, I do not sit | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
ignored, but they take it for granted we are not here in the first | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
place. How worried is the business community? Going back to what I said | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
previously, one of the best industries is tourism and | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
caravanning. It actually affects ourselves because they flourish and | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
go to the store is and do this and that so I would say, it does not | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
keep me awake at night but you really need to keep on to the | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
government. We have had enough of all of these repair jobs. They have | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
to take us seriously. The answer is, come on, wake up. We need a | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
motorway. And you can throw us an airport in for good measure! Thank | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
you. The rain has held off over the Somerset levels for the past 24 | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
hours, but work continues to get the water off the moors. New pumps which | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
can deal with high volumes of water have been ferried across from | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
Holland. Dams are also being built but there are concerns about whether | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
they will hold. Scott Ellis reports. These are the giant Dutch pumps it | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
is hoped will ease the flooding on the Somerset Levels. They will work | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
by taking water away from the swollen river. It will be pumped | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
north to the water drain and out to sea. It means that opening the | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
sluice gate on the River. They still fail to appreciate the flow of the | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
water. That worries some residents. Micron Smith. His house has studied | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
four times since Christmas and he is worried that when the Environment | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Agency opens the sluice, the water will spill on land, perilously `` | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
perilously close to his house. We are sacrificial lambs. We have to | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
have a guarantee that of the outcome goes wrong, they will underwrite the | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
value of the property. They can do what they like but they must give me | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
that guarantee in writing. A dam is being built to protect homes from | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
the threat of floods but there are no guarantees. It is an uncertain | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
business but we will do our best to protect these homes and properties. | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
Is he right to be worried? Yes, I would be the same myself. We would | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
all be worried. The Environment Agency says it will open the sluice | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
gate slowly and the water will be constantly monitored. But they say | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
they need to ease the pressure on the River to prevent flooding in | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
Bridgwater. We spoke to one former who cannot wait for the pumping to | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
start. Unless the water goes rapidly, this will not be grassland, | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
it'll be a blog and you cannot format. The film Braveheart is | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
reckoned it would take 26 days to pump the drive. But once again, it | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
is another wet week ahead on the Somerset Levels. South West Water | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
has announced ?160 million will be spent on improvements next year. | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
This includes work to upgrade sewers across the region to try to | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
alleviate flooding. 13 areas across the South West have been earmarked | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
for improvements. ?1.4 million is being spent at Colebrook, which has | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
suffered from flooding for many years. Our issue is that our servers | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
are designed for carrying sewage and when they get these intense | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
rainstorms, water gets into the sewers and it overwhelms them. We | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
have to put in some engineering and new ideas about how to stop that | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
water getting into those sewers. Spotlight has learned that a | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
hospital Chief Executive has been suspended today while fellow board | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
members carry out an investigation of her behaviour. Paula | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Vasco`Knight, who heads the trust which runs Torbay Hospital, was | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
criticised by an employment tribunal last month over her treatment of two | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
whistle`blowers who'd accused her of nepotism. Sally Mountjoy is with me | :18:03. | :18:15. | |
now. What has happened? The nonexecutive directors held a | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
meeting and decided to suspend the Chief Executive Wiley examined the | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
circumstances that prompted the tribunal last month. Remind us of | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
what happened. It was brought to women who accused the Chief | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Executive, Paula Vasco`Knight, of and favouritism when she recruited | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
her daughter's why friend to a job at the hospital trust and the | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
tribunal found they had been victimised as a result of | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
whistle`blowing and they said the trust behaved in an astonishing way | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
and had been dishonest in suppressing a report about what | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
happened. There has been a resignation already? Yes, the | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
chairman of the trust has resigned. But over the weekend the local NHS | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
only, the clinical commissioning group, said it felt that the Chief | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
Executive should be suspended while the investigation was going on and | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
as a result of that, the trust feels that they should actually do that | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
and should suspend her. It said it was fundamental to good patient care | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
that whistle`blowers feel able to raise concerns without fear of | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
retribution and I think it was as a result of that that the trust said | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
today that they thought it was in the best interests of everybody to | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
actually suspend the Chief Executive. Thank you very much | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
indeed. Some sports news now and it was a weekend to remember for the | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
Exeter Chiefs' Jack Nowell as he played his second game for his | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
national side. The 20`year`old Cornish winger really held his own | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
and helped England to victory over Scotland. Earlier, former Exeter | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
player Chris Bentley, who now works for the Chiefs, came to the studio | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
to look back at Jack's solid performance. Jack did really well, | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
after his first test in France he could do no wetter. He is capable of | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
playing test match rugby. He had a fantastic few minutes in the second | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
half? Yes. The ball got kicked, he's always looking the threat. Later on, | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
in one moment, he gets his hand onto the ball and you can see the threat | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
he can provide. That injection of pace. Very powerful. He just keeps | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
the impetus for the England team. And one moment later, he said at the | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
second try? It was magnificent. I was fortunate enough to play with | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
them when he was younger. There was nothing on there, quick step and | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
then the awareness. He possibly could have done it himself. Humble | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
to the last minute. He could have scored that himself? I reckon so. It | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
might have been 50`50. But he is just a great performer. How is this | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
put him in great stead and we shall see him making his debut at | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
Twickenham in a few weeks? I think so. The triple Crown is still very | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
much on and he will be their star performer. You must be really | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
proud? Of course but it is not just him, the Academy is producing a huge | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
amount of players, Ford team`mates won the World Cup for the under 20s. | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
One of them has been turning out for England under 20s. There is a | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
conveyor belt coming through Exeter Chiefs. How is it coming together? | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
Being in the Premiership makes a great difference. Players might have | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
traditionally left to play elsewhere but with Phil Vickery, Barnstable | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
boy, the pinnacle is with the Exeter Chiefs and they can aspire to be | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
from boy to man. 2015, great year as well? The World Cup is on its way, | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
the stadium development is taking place and we have the tarmac for the | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
bottom edges. More seats for next season and following the World Cup, | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
the third biggest sporting event in the world at Sandy Park. Say well | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
done to him from us. Thank you. Back now to our top story and the Prime | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
Minister's visit to storm`damaged parts of the South West. David | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
Cameron ended today's visit in Newquay. David George is there for | :22:30. | :22:39. | |
us now. David? The Prime Minister arrived here at 5:30pm this | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
afternoon having flown here from Kingsand on the tarmac meeting | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
senior executives from Friday. They announced they have doubled the | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
number of flights from Newquay to Gatwick. He met them in front of an | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
aircraft, the bigger jet they have brought in, borrowed from Belfast, | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
in order to operate the service. It means about 600 people every day can | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
fly to Gatwick and vice versa with this new service that starts on | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
Wednesday. He went inside to meet the senior people from the council, | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
the Chief Executive and their leader. They emphasise that Cornwall | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
was very much open for business, despite the terrible damage that has | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
happened and ?21 million worth of repairs is needed to places like 10 | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
cents and Newland and Newquay itself. The surf centre has been | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
undermined. They say they are happy the Prime Minister understood the | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
problems here and they pointed out to him that they did not want to | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
have two compete with other areas for money. They also announced that | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
Cornwall will actually give up, will suspend its much `` much disliked | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
airport fee. They are getting a grant to cover that. ?5 for every | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
passenger for the next two weeks only. Passengers leaving from here | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
on these flights will not have to pay that. Thank you very much | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
indeed. Time for the weather forecast. We have had some respite | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
from the storms but there is more bad weather on the way? | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
More on the way. Here is some sunshine. Our cameraman had a | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
glimpse of fine weather. Similar seven joined a reasonable day today. | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
It has been rather cold but some sunshine and calmer seas. But it is | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
only for one day. And there is quite a big change happening later tonight | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
with more wet weather heading our way. Still very unsettled with more | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
rain in the forecast, three batches this week. Tonight, Wednesday and | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
possibly Friday. And gale force winds reach earns. The warning we | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
have for most of this week is for heavy rain. Several of our areas | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
have already put flood warnings in place. This is a stripe of clear | :25:11. | :25:20. | |
skies but already there is a lot of cloud either. The wind will be | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
strong but not the strength that we saw over the weekend. It is a | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
blustery night with outbreaks of rain and will be just touching gale | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
force for a short time but it is moving steadily and through this | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
afternoon `` tomorrow afternoon it is brighter. Then this new area of | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
low pressure races across the Atlantic and that develops close to | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
our shores. This is another very windy spell for Wednesday. It will | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
probably happen during daylight hours. We have gusts potentially at | :25:52. | :26:00. | |
80 mph. Particularly on the south coast. Tonight, not overly windy, | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
showers dotted around but they will move out of the way with some dry | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
weather and temperatures close to freezing. There is the possibility | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
of a touch of frost. First thing tomorrow, the rain comes back. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
Coastal locations start at six degrees. The rain moves quite fast. | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
By the afternoon, the sunshine returns. Blown in with scattered | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
showers and those showers will turn increasingly wintry through the | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
afternoon, even to quite low levels. Temperatures at seven or eight | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
degrees. Lauding through the afternoon. And for the Scilly Isles, | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
breezy with a few showers. Getting away with a largely dry day. The | :26:47. | :26:56. | |
high what times... `` watcher times. `` high water times. It remains | :26:57. | :27:06. | |
quite dangerous on the coastline. The outlook for coastal waters is | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
for the wind to pick up tomorrow night into Wednesday but for | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
tomorrow, south`westerly and veering Westerly. Warnings for everyday this | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
week. The strength of wind on Wednesday and further I'd weeks of | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
rain. Very windy start to Thursday but the wind drops and more rain | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
turning up on Friday. Stay tuned to your local radio station for more | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
updates. Thank you very much indeed. There is a special report on the | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
impact the storms have had on the south`west on Inside Out in half an | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
hour. We are back tomorrow evening. Good night. | :27:44. | :28:09. | |
