Yard's handling of the case. That's all from the BBC News at Six, so | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Thursday's BBC Channel it's | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Welcome to Thursday's BBC Channel Islands News. The top storids. Young | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
people in Guernsey are turnhng to alcohol because there's nothing to | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
do ` according to a new report. We are getting the information that we | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
need to, out to young peopld, about misusing alcohol. Also, the sex | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
education booklet being set home to children as young as four. H think | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
that the teacher should havd handed it to the parents, not to the | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
children themselves. And how your waste goes from this to this ` as | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Guernsey gets ready for its rubbish revolution. Young people in Guernsey | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
are turning to alcohol becatse there's nothing to do. That's the | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
view of some schoolchildren who have taken part in a survey of more than | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
600 full`time students. The latest results from the Education | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Department show that many are drinking alcohol regularly `nd a | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
significant number are smokhng cigarettes. Mike Wilkins reports. | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
Happy relaxing with friends, but some young people are consuling | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
alcohol, cigarettes and drugs on a regular basis. When asked, `lmost | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
half of those surveyed said they'd had an alcoholic drink in the past | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
seven days. Almost a quarter of students smoke cigarettes, lany | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
opting for cheap products. @nd more than a quarter had tried cannabis. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Some told me today that thex drank alcohol because there was a lack of | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
things to do. I do a lot of sport Verster Lake `` personally, but if | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
there was more for kids to do, the new skate park is excellent for | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
young teenage boys but therd is nothing for the girls. And we want | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
to socialise and sit and ch`t and we can agree do other strains that we | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
can see out of school. The only time that we can do that is at a party. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
There's nowhere to go apart from in the summer, at the beach. Apart from | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
house parties there was nowhere to go at the winter. It is somdthing we | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
need to address through the drug and alcohol strategy. With tobacco | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
education, I was concerned that we saw a quarter of young people who | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
smoke. It should be noted that there were many positives in the survey | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
but two glaring issues are that cigarettes and alcohol remahn a | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
problem that won't go away. The Guernsey government has a drugs and | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
alcohol strategy. Do these results mean that it is not working? I spoke | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
to the head of the drug and alcohol strategy, Andrea Nightingald, from | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
our Guernsey newsroom a few moments ago. Actually, we were quitd | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
encouraged by some of the post` 6 survey. It showed that cann`bis use | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
is only by 9% of young people, which we feel is extremely encour`ging, | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
and we still know that we h`ve a way to go, but we are getting the | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
information that we need to, out to young people, about misusing | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
alcohol, how it can affect not only their health, but also their | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
families and relationships. The students are telling us that there | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
nothing else to do on island. What are the authorities doing about | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
that? We have lots of activhties that we put on for young people We | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
could be better at doing th`t. We have a new youth commission that is | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
looking at outreach, and extending it to active kids, not only sporting | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
but the arts commission is there, and we have to see whether or not we | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
can embrace young people into activities, to steer them away from | :04:07. | :04:18. | |
the use of drug and alcohol. And staying with issues affecting young | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
people ` What would you say if your four year old came home frol school | :04:22. | :04:33. | |
with this? It's a booklet to help parents explain issues surrounding | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
sex and relationships to thdir children. The pamphlet is produced | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
by a Jersey charity ` and some 10,000 copies have been givdn to | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
primary school and even pre`school children in the island. As xou can | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
imagine, it's created quite a stir, as Emma Chambers reports. These | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
children can also be... Str`ngers who are, other children? Thdy could | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
be adults. Talking to your eight`year`old son about sensitive | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
issues such as staying safe online, puberty and sex can be diffhcult ` | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
but not for Ally. She says hts been made easier because of this book | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
called A Parent's Toolkit. Ht advises parents on how to ddal with | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
those awkward questions. I found that my son has opened up a lot more | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
since we had this book. Therefore, if I broach the subject, he would be | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
embarrassed. But when we sat down together, we were both embarrassed, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
and the book helped us to look at it together. Although it has hdlped | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
many it has also caused upsdt. Not about what's in them but how the | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
books were received by parents. 10,000 copies have been givdn out | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
across Jersey in schools and nurseries. Many of them being handed | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
directly to children as young as four and five ` like Sandra's. With | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
my eldest, I do not mind, bdcause they know so much, but with the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
youngest I believe the teacher should have, not put it in `n | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
envelope, but handed it to ts as we pick up the children's that we have | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
the option of taking it or not, I find it very disturbing for the full | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
ones. `` for the little ones. It is a shame that it has been given | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
directly to the children but it is I spoke with cartoons in it and | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
everything, so hopefully, it would not have caused too much distress. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
Obviously it has sparked off some discussions with children and | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
parents. We are very struck `` we are very sorry as some parents have | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
taken offence to it. Acet hopes it will help more parents like Ally and | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
is in talks of supplying thd book to mums and dads in Guernsey too. There | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
are just two candidates vying to be Guernsey's next Chief Minister. At | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
close of nominations this evening, Deputy Allister Langlois and | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Jonathan Le Tocq were the only two names in the hat. The Electhon will | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
be held at a special States sitting next Wednesday. 32 Jersey f`milies | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
will have to leave their st`tes flats while they are renovated ` and | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
won't be invited to move back when they are finished. The flats at de | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Quetteville Court will have new windows, doors, double glazhng and | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
insulation. They will also get new kitchens and bathrooms. The current | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
tenants will have to move ott, and the Housing Minister says they'll | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
only be allowed to return in exceptional circumstances. Ht's part | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
of a ?22 million project to improve States housing. About 85% of people | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
who could have voted in last night's St Helier by`elections didn't. Both | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
deputies`elect Nick Le Cornt and Sam Mezec won their seats with just a | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
couple hundred votes. Jen Slith reports on what the dismal turnout | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
means for politics in Jersex. It took all of 30 mins to count. 7 8 | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
people out of around 5000 ttrned out to vote in St Helier district number | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
one. While in St Helier number two, turn out was 14%, that's 528 voters. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Lawyer Nick Le Cornu was thd first winner to be announced. For the sake | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
of democracy, we have to get out there and get more people voting, to | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
make it have some relevance to their life. In district two, Sam Lezec had | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
a more convincing win. It w`s about fighting forcing Kelly, bec`use we | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
lack that at the moment, and arguing for a new type of politics, one that | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
is more democratic and 23rd century in Outlook `` arguing for St Helier. | :08:18. | :08:31. | |
Jersey's new deputies have ` few things in common. Both were elected | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
on a mandate of political rdform, and both got in with just a couple | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
of hundred votes to their n`me. They'll take up their seats here in | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
their first States sitting hn a couple of weeks time. And they'll | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
have the same powers in the assembly and salary as Jersey's Chief | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
Minister. They have tried to get more equality in terms of how the | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
votes are distributed betwedn constituencies. Both Nick Ld Cornu | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
and Sam Mezec will be keen to prove they can do the job because in | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
October all of Jersey goes to the polls in the island's gener`l | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
election. Turnout then is gdnerally expected to be higher. But last | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
night's result will be a relinder, that how getting islanders through | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
the polling station doors is a politician's biggest task. Xou're | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight with | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
Justin and Natalie. Pond owners get together to find out more about a | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
deadly virus that's killing frogs, toads and newts. And David will have | :09:19. | :09:30. | |
the weather forecast for us in a few moments. In sport, there were mixed | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
fortunes for the Channel Islands cricket teams on the opening day of | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
the World Division Five tournament in Malaysia. Jersey started with a | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
60`run victory over Nigeria. Meanwhile Guernsey started with a | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
narrow 33`run defeat to Caylan Islands. The top two teams `t the | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
end of the tournament will be promoted. Is Guernsey ready for | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
kerbside recycling? When islanders leave their normal bins out, they'll | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
also have to leave a bag of recyclable items like tins `nd | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
cardboard too. To reassure householders that it won't `ll end | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
up in landfill, Penny Elderfield has been to see happens next. How do you | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
turn this.... Into this? Well it starts, rather | :10:06. | :10:19. | |
noisily, here. The vehicles arrive early in the morning. Later that on | :10:20. | :10:32. | |
the floor here at Mayside. We then separated all. `` separate ht all. | :10:33. | :10:47. | |
The recyclables then travel along this conveyor belt where thdy are | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
sorted ` and you can probably just see that big orange thing ` that's a | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
massive magnet sucking out the cans. Then all the different bits ` the | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
plastic, cartons, and cans ` literally just fire out of here | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Ready to be baled. These ard clean, recycled products ready to go to | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
mills in the UK to be made hnto new plastic, cardboard and paper. And on | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
Monday morning we are raring to go. So Mayside Recycling may be ready | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
for the start of kerbside. But are you? Hopefully everyone will know | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
that it is a clear bag week next week, that means that if yot put the | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
wrong Bankstown, they will be left so that you know as a householder | :11:25. | :11:34. | |
that it was the wrong bag. So get your clear plastic bags ready for | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
next week. Because kerbside recycling is coming to stredt near | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
you soon. I like it when Penny does stories like that because now I | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
understand what how it all works. It was a beautiful day across the | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
islands today, and it looks like more ahead, David. There is a weak | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
weather front coming across as tomorrow that will introducd quite a | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
bit of cloud and some spots of rain, but as that this appears we will | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
have some sunshine to enjoy this weekend. `` disappears. | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
We have a stretch of cloud stretching from Scotland down to | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
Southern Ireland. We have bden quite blessed with clear skies today, but | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
eventually this weather system, weakening all the while, gr`dually | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
moves towards us, bringing some patchy, like rain and some low | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
cloud. And it is close by in the middle of the day, but it is a very | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
weak affair because high prdssure is starting to take charge, and we have | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
not seen that for quite a while We have high pressure in the ndar | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
continent which will dominate our weather. We have winds from the | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
south and the South East. So, clouding over tonight, with a few | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
spots of light rain and a mhld night compared to last night. The wind, | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
from the south and the south`west. For tomorrow, it is rather grey at | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
first, misty, with drizzle, some persistent rain for a short time, | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
which will fizzle out, then it will clear from the North, so cldaring | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
for Guernsey and Alderney, `nd then Joe `` jersey, later in the evening. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
There are other coastal Watdrs forecasts. | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
There is the forecast as we head into the weekend. We have not seen | :13:29. | :13:53. | |
that for a while, blue skies on Saturday and Sunday. And | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
temperatures of around 15 Cdlsius. It will be cloudy on Monday, but | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
next week, that high pressure is here to stay, so this is solething | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
that we're going to have to get used to, much better than wind and rain. | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
Blue skies, what a rarity, H will have to take a photo. I will hand | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
you over now to just on and Natalie with more from Spotlight. | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
to be hard`won by Somerset htself. Well the effects of this winter s | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
storms are still being felt and more damage is coming to light all the | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
time. In North Cornwall part of a road into Port Gaverne has | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
collapsed. People living thdre say they feel cut off and as Eldanor | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Parkinson reports the road lay not be repaired until the summer. Like | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
many coastal villages in thd South West, Port Gaverne was battdred by | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
the storms and during the l`st high tide the waves washed away part of | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
the road leading into the vhllage. South West Water engineers have been | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
working to repair a broken sewage pipe, but people living herd say | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
they have been told it could be June before the road itself is rdpaired. | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
This little cove is popular with visitors, in particular day visitors | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
from just up the hill at Port Isaac. Local businesses here say unless | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
this road is fixed soon it will affect their summer trade. Richard | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
has just opened a guest house. He says they feel cut off. To go to the | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
Co`Op, which is a half mile round trip for me, it's a 12 mile trip and | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
they're closing the road up there on Monday. So I don't know where we | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
will go then. Do you think this might affect your visitors? Yeah, I | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
think it will affect here and the pub, all sorts of things I think. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
The Port Gaverne Hotel is also open for business, but they fear some | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
people will be put off by the fences and closure signs. People that know | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
where we are and know the roads and they will still find their way here, | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
now we have got the signage right, but it will make a difference, | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
because a lot of people comd to Port Isaac firstly and then come down the | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
hill to us. Cornwall Council is also facing a storm damage bill of more | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
than ?21 million. They say they have yet to assess this problem `nd come | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
up with a time scale for repairs. The engineer in charge of s`ving a | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
historic clock tower in Cornwall which was damaged by last month s | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
storms says it was extremelx close to coming down. As John Danks | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
reports, the building in Kingsand needed propping up after waves | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
destroyed some of its found`tions. Valentine's Day and a huge wave | :16:35. | :16:36. | |
explodes against Kingsand's clock tower and Institute building. Some | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
feared the already storm`ravaged structure wouldn't last the night. | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
But survive it did, albeit with significant damage. One of the | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
interesting things was the `ctual tower, we recorded it as moving as | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
much as 15 millimetres as a result of the storm damage! How close was | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
it to coming down do you thhnk? Extremely close. My first thoughts | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
until I sat down and thought about it was we are not going to be able | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
to save this one. Almost three weeks on and not only is the clock tower | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
still standing, the building has been stabilised and extensive | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
repairs carried out. We havd gradually built out and reinforced | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
the hole with steel reinforcement, tying it back into the masonry and | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
then sprayed concrete so we have now got a full thickness and yot can see | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
it is looking a lot more robust than it did. To keep it that way there's | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
talk of raising the sea wall at the base. All the work to save the | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
building has been done with the blessing of English Heritagd, who | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
visited the site last month. The cost so far is thought to bd in the | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
region of ?100,000. Pond owners across Cornwall are being asked to | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
come forward to help research into two deadly diseases that ard | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
threatening frogs, newts and toads. A student from Exeter University is | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
conducting experiments to sde if the diseases are present in the county | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
and, if so, how far they've spread. Chytrid fungus and ranavirus are | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
already known to be in the TK and are being blamed for the de`ths of | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
huge numbers of amphibians `round the world. Andy Birkett went along | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
to see what the researchers discovered. Look into my pond and | :18:25. | :18:35. | |
you will find all sorts of creatures. But are our frogs and | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
newts coming under fire frol a new disease. They are known to cause | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
declines. Ranavirus can imp`ct populations in other parts of the | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
country and in common frogs. That will have a knock on effect. We hope | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
it won't be as bad as what we see. Monitoring it is important. The | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
search begins and we soon spot something. He may have got `way for | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
now, but we soon had our first catch. We have got a newt! Hello! | :19:13. | :19:24. | |
Where is he? He is there. They're so camouflaged. Ally is putting out the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
message for pond owners to get in touch. She is collecting salples. It | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
was a link that a friend sent me on Facebook. It said, told us `bout | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
this study and I thought it looked interesting so we found out more. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Despite my help ` we still couldn't find that frog. But we were on a | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
roll with the newts. Tlncht is do there `` There is two there. I have | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
hit the jackpot. You have got five! It was time to leave Ally t`ke her | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
samples and in true televishon tradition, she caught the frog after | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
he left. I was warned never work with children or amphibians He was | :20:14. | :20:23. | |
waiting for him to leave! Sound like it. One of the National Trust's | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
largest repair projects is tnderway. After years of having buckets in | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
corridors to catch water from the leaking roof, ?11 million is being | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
spent on making Castle Drogo at Drewsteignton watertight. Chris | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
Lyddon has been given an early look at the scale of the work before the | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
site is open to visitors thhs weekend. Drilling out 40 miles of | :20:43. | :20:54. | |
mortar inch by inch. Lifting out 3 thousand blocks of granite `nd | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
relaying concrete by the bucketful. It is the largest project ever | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
undertaken by the National Trust. The castle hardly recognisable and | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
under a protective roof ` lhke something out after a James Bond | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
film set. From this weekend, it will be open to visitors. But whx? We | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
think it is important to sh`re the whole process. We spend a l`rge | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
amount on repairing our building and this building. And ultimately we | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
hold these for the benefit of the nation. So it is important that not | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
only do people experience what is going on and see the work that has | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
to be done to repair the buhldings, but see where the money goes really. | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
The walls and parapets abovd the old leaking roof are all being taken | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
down, stone by stone. To en`ble a new water tight roof to go on. This | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
is the original waterproofing. So we have the original concrete `nd the | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
original ash felt and a latdr layer. The problem This | :22:04. | :22:03. | |
original ash felt and a latdr layer. The problem with the materi`l is it | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
expands and contracts in thd hot and cold and then it cracks and the | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
water gets through. It is only when you get to the top more an 60 foot | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
up you can appreciate the scale of the operation. The scaffoldhng | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
weighs more than 500 tonnes. If you laid them together they would reach | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
as far as Cardiff. This is the base of the tower. We have taken out the | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
bottom two quarters of stondwork, so bring the membrane across the lower | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
roof and up to make a seal. These plate and this this structure hold | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
up all the castle above. Me`nwhile deep down inside the castle... Here | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
in the library the carpets `nd pictures have been covered to | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
protect them during the work. These beams taken from the southern part | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
of droe goes have been restored and `` droe goes have been restored | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
Each of the granite stones has its own number and bears a yellow dot at | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
its north`facing point to m`ke sure it goes back in exactly the right | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
place. Let's hope they get ht right. The work here will go on until 017. | :23:25. | :23:35. | |
What a mammoth project. Makds the little DIY jobs I have got to do at | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
home seem easier. Now time for the weather. A little bird tells me | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
summer might arrive this Christmas This Christmas? What bird h`ve you | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
been talking to. No, th weekend Don't believe everything yot read. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Will bit a white Christmas. Justin, just get on with your work there! | :24:02. | :24:10. | |
There is no need too switch your heating on yet. Thank goodndss! Much | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
quieter weather heading our way and the most important story has to be | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
the fact that there is no rdally heavy rain in the forecast for the | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
next five days. Some rain around today and that has been heavier than | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
we thought. Tomorrow it is ` cloudy start, the mist will clear `nd the | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
sunshine will return. This great line of cloud is rain`bearing. The | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
heaviest rain is across Ireland and Scotland. It is sinking south, | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
bringing further patchy rain. As it does move south, it gets we`ker and | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
waeshg. By the time `` ` we`ker By the time it is over us therd not | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
much in it. By the time we get to the afternoon we have a weak ridge | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
of high pressure that will dominate the weather across the Chang, | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
England and France. The winds coming from the south mean higher | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
temperatures No as high as xou have been reading in the newspapdrs. | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
There is the cloud from tod`y. We have had patchy rain and sole has | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
been quite heavy and a bit lore widespread than we thought. This was | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
earlier in the Tamar valley, the skies were leaden and we had rain. | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
But fifth skies were leaden and we had rain. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
But our cameraman Dan, I thhnk he is a wildlife cameraman. These have | :25:40. | :25:49. | |
been great shots of the moss and the green ery. The rain fall th`t we | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
will see over the next 24 hours is very small. So eventually things | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
improve, dry conditions in the forexas cast for the weekend. But | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
not tonight. Some rain and listy. Some of it has not lifted. @ mild | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
night at eight or nine degrdes. Tomorrow rain in the morning. After | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
lunch that does clear. The visibility improves, the mist goes | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
and the sunshine comes back out with temperatures of 12 or 13. And much | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
lighter winds too. For the Hsles of Scilly, some patchy rain cldaring | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
and then fine and dry. If you're heading out to sea times of high | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
water are: Expect the surf to be useable, but | :26:40. | :26:52. | |
on the choppy side. Sea temperature around nine or ten degrees. Here is | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
the coastal waters forecast. The winds mostly from the west. They | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
will veer north`westerly. And ease during the day. Some showers and | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
then becoming fair. How abott that for an outlook? We haven't seen that | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
for three months ` four mainly dry days and I at the moment, I can t | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
