:09:53. > :09:56.of 24 degrees. Plenty of hazy sunshine, but a bit of mist later in
:09:57. > :10:03.the day, which may turn to fog in the evening. We are finally
:10:04. > :10:10.approaching the area of high pressure, and this line of cloud is

:10:31. > :10:34.for us, and becoming quite windy. Overnight the night, a light breeze
:10:35. > :10:38.and clear skies. And maybe some low cloud appearing later in thd night,
:10:39. > :10:45.but not too much of that, and overnight temperatures no lower than

:12:43. > :12:48.family waited two years for justice! The honourable Ladx is
:12:49. > :12:54.absolutely right to raise this tragic case, and our thoughts should
:12:55. > :12:58.be with the parents of this boy It is absolutely shocking to sde a

:13:06. > :13:11.experience is. She is absolttely right, we must learn from this case.
:13:12. > :13:16.We must make sure this never happens again. Last week we launched a major
:13:17. > :13:22.safety campaign to prevent these sorts of avoidable deaths.
:13:23. > :13:25.There's a race against time in South Devon, to try and prevent
:13:26. > :13:28.an historic woodland being destroyed by a deadly tree disease.
:13:29. > :13:31.Around 100 acres will have to be felled in Churston, near Brhxham.
:13:32. > :13:33.Johnny Rutherford met up with Chris Ligard from Torbay Co`st
:13:34. > :13:40.and Countryside Trust, who lanage a large swathe of the affected area.
:13:41. > :13:47.This is the growth, and abott 2 `30 acres of this woodland will have to
:13:48. > :13:52.be failed. The portrait comlission has identified a deadly disdase in
:13:53. > :13:56.this historic wood, and so `ll sweet chestnut trees have to be chopped
:13:57. > :14:00.down to prevent any further spread. If we look up through these two
:14:01. > :14:10.trees here, we can see what the disease looks like. It affects all
:14:11. > :14:12.the needles, and the crown has died. That is what the fore Street
:14:13. > :14:16.commission picked up when they were doing their aerial survey. The race
:14:17. > :14:24.is now on to stop these per `` disease from spreading. The work
:14:25. > :14:27.should be completed by the dnd of September. Many of the trees behind
:14:28. > :14:32.me will have to be failed, so the area will be totally differdnt. What
:14:33. > :14:37.will happen to the wildlife that live in the area? Part of the
:14:38. > :14:41.ecological surveys we will be carrying out, we will be iddntifying

:14:48. > :14:52.there is nesting birds onto those trees will have to be left tntil
:14:53. > :14:57.such time we can continue. @nd it is not just the 60 acres of growth
:14:58. > :15:03.woodland that is affected. 40 acres of this estate in nearby farmland
:15:04. > :15:07.will also need trees felling. A local farmer says it is a m`ssive
:15:08. > :15:12.job. I do not think people understand how much effect ht will
:15:13. > :15:16.have. It has taken nearly 100 years just for the broadleaf to grow
:15:17. > :15:20.behind us, and over 20 years before the large. Felling the trees of the
:15:21. > :15:25.easy part, it is growing thd new ones and all of the mainten`nce on
:15:26. > :15:30.that side. New trees will bd planted in place, and it is hoped that sweet
:15:31. > :15:33.chestnut that will regrow. @ccess to the woodland will be restricted
:15:34. > :15:41.during the work, which starts within a month.
:15:42. > :15:44.Now, the South West has an `bundance of market towns, but many are seeing
:15:45. > :15:47.shops close down at an alarling rate, and are fighting for survival.
:15:48. > :15:50.In fact a recent government review said they were at crisis pohnt.
:15:51. > :15:53.But things aren't so bleak everywhere in the region, whth some
:15:54. > :15:56.Sherborne in Dorset, for ex`mple, is bucking the trend, and boasts
:15:57. > :16:01.Simon Clemison has been looking at how the high street therd is
:16:02. > :16:10.Unlike when it was first buhlt centuries ago, you can now push your
:16:11. > :16:17.child around the abbey and four wheels. Also, four wheels could take
:16:18. > :16:20.you out of town and help yot up and down the aisles with your shopping.
:16:21. > :16:24.But this area doesn't have ` big supermarket a few miles drive away,
:16:25. > :16:29.and many believed that has helped keep the street alive. Together with
:16:30. > :16:34.competition coming from onlhne traders, experts say the cake is
:16:35. > :16:37.being divided into smaller pieces for traditional retailers. But there
:16:38. > :16:43.are just a handful of empty shops here. Most tells are ringing. For
:16:44. > :16:48.the owner of this coffee shop, that is because businesses are still in
:16:49. > :16:56.one place. Once they come in town to go to the wine shop or the shoe
:16:57. > :17:08.shop, they will go for a coffee or meet some friends, and that they
:17:09. > :17:10.went to a superstar, they would do everything in one place and would
:17:11. > :17:11.have not come into the town. There are chain stores and superm`rkets
:17:12. > :17:12.here, but in the centre of town not on the outskirts, and plannhng
:17:13. > :17:14.guidelines try to protect the town centre and stop anything th`t might
:17:15. > :17:16.have an negative impact on ht, but in this case, they have man`ged to
:17:17. > :17:21.stop a major supermarket before it has even put in an applicathon. In
:17:22. > :17:25.short, it does not just that this area does not have a big store on a
:17:26. > :17:28.ring road somewhere, it is that big stores and ring road don't get off
:17:29. > :17:34.the drawing board, and that might be because of the strength of the
:17:35. > :17:41.locals. Not everyone you medt thinks it is a bad idea. There would be
:17:42. > :17:45.more variety. You can't get half as much as you can in these
:17:46. > :17:49.supermarkets, whereas you c`n in bigger ones, so it is easier. IMI
:17:50. > :17:57.parents and it is very cheap for kids and food. Have you missed out?
:17:58. > :18:01.Yes. Many local politicians, though, are clear about what they w`nt to
:18:02. > :18:06.see in their town. My understanding is, and the principle on whhch we
:18:07. > :18:14.all work is, we utterly discourage edge of town and out of town retail.
:18:15. > :18:18.We have a thriving high strdet. It is full of wonderful shops `nd we
:18:19. > :18:24.want to see them continue. Whether this area of the will be thd same
:18:25. > :18:32.tomorrow, no`one knows, but the area of yesterday is being preserved
:18:33. > :18:34.There's concern that some schools in the South West won't be ready

:19:03. > :19:07.meals policy. The old kitchdn at the ship Henderson primary school is now
:19:08. > :19:13.a classroom. A growing school with 420 people needed all the tdaching
:19:14. > :19:18.space it could get. Even if this school buys meals from an ottside
:19:19. > :19:25.supplier, it will need to convert part of this haul to a servdr he,
:19:26. > :19:29.and that will cost ?16,000, money the school does not have. The only
:19:30. > :19:33.way we could do that, if we were to do that, would be to take it from
:19:34. > :19:37.education staffing on the losing support staff, teaching staff, in
:19:38. > :19:42.order to provide these meals. It is by no means the only school

:19:49. > :19:53.County Council is planning to build one big central kitchen. Thd
:19:54. > :19:59.question is, will it be ready in time? From September, all schools
:20:00. > :20:02.will have to provide free school meals for infants. Schools like this
:20:03. > :20:07.one, which have their own khtchens, are better placed to deliver that.
:20:08. > :20:13.The government has given cotncils money to help implement the plan, ?1
:20:14. > :20:17.million in the case of Somerset but that is about ?600,000 short of is
:20:18. > :20:23.needed. Nutritionists say that from a health point of view, the idea is
:20:24. > :20:30.a good one, but... Not everx school will have the facilities to provide
:20:31. > :20:33.hot meals, and in those sittations, they will be providing things like

:24:18. > :24:21.have had a lovely day and some good temperatures as well. Tomorrow, more
:24:22. > :24:26.cloud around. I think it will be equally as warm. It is a very humid
:24:27. > :24:33.day, much more humidity in the air, so it will feel comfortably warm. We
:24:34. > :24:36.may get to 24 or even 25 degrees during the course of the dax
:24:37. > :24:41.tomorrow. It does cloud over, and that is perhaps the saving grace for

:24:47. > :24:52.is high`level cloud. Pretty hazy today. A little light rain `cross

:25:12. > :25:15.Friday. A new area of low pressure and notice plenty of isobars on the

:25:20. > :25:25.conditions without breaks of rain, some places seeing outbreaks... We
:25:26. > :25:29.have nothing much in the wax of all today. High class has made the
:25:30. > :25:36.sunshine pretty hazy, but this was earlier today, it was beauthful
:25:37. > :25:44.today. This is winter barlex, which is not far off from being rdady for

:26:10. > :26:13.around Cornwall. Temperaturds could possibly get down into single
