Welcome to BBC Channel Islands on Thursday April 20th. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Reoffending - almost all the new inmates in Jersey's | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
I would be Mori give the courts were not making use of the services we | :00:10. | :00:24. | |
have on offer and sending first offenders to prison. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
The digital drive to boost Guernsey's economy. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
And a dry April has taken Guernsey and Jersey into a drought - | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
I do not think we will see a great deal of rain over the next few days | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
either, fine and dry tomorrow with some sunshine, perhaps a hint of | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
rain early next week. Almost all of the new inmates | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
sentenced to Jersey's prison last That's the findings | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
of the annual report released While it shows overall figures | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
of prisoners were slightly down last year compared to 2015 - | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
over half of them were The number of criminals | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
being locked up dropped in 2016 but those that | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
were are not new to crime. According to the Prison Report, | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
of the 260 new inmates sent to prison last year - | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
97% had previous convictions and 60% had already | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
served time behind bars. Although this level | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
of re-offending sounds alarming - the Probation Service | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
say it's expected. Because it's unusual for people | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
to be sent to prison Instead they are usually given fines | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
and community service. Sentences in the community are more | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
likely to be successful than sentences in custody | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
because someone can maintain their employment, | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
maintain their family ties, The courts are typically sentencing | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
people to custody when they have no other options available either | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
because of the seriousness of the offence or because that | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
person has exhausted the courts' patience with the alternatives | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
and hasn't responded to them. The Prison Report has been | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
released in the same week as the new independent | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
Prison Monitoring Board Although the board say they can't | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
comment on the re-offending rates, they will monitor the welfare | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
of prisoners which can That can potentially | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
have a huge impact in relation to how people can adapt, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
modify behaviour if that's actually what is required, | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
and I think it's good to see a lot of the training programmes that | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
are already in place and that will be one of the areas | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
that we will be keen to look at. And it's through constructive | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
regimes and programmes the prison hope to achieve its primary aim | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
to reduce re-offending in future. Emma Chambers, BBC Channel Islands | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
News, Jersey. There's been a huge increase | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
in the amount of time police in Jersey spend dealing with mental | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
health related issues and checking Latest figures show a 178% | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
increase over the past five years in mental health issues that | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
required police attention and action - and welfare checks were up | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
by a third since 2012 too. It comes on the day a UK watchdog | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
is warning that public safety is being put at risk there, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
because police in England and Wales are being used to handle | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
mental health issues. Jersey police have named the driver | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
of the car that crashed on the Five Mile Road late on Sunday. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Fraser Armstrong remains in a critical but stable | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
He was one of four sixth-formers from De La Salle College in the car. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
Their headteacher says the school's thoughts and prayers are with them. | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
The three passengers are recovering in Jersey. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
It's being called the future of Guernsey - a plan to attract more | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
digital businesses to the island along with the benefits | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
which go with it - including up to 5,000 workers | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
and an additional ?14 million in income tax. | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
But it comes at a cost - so will it get the funding it needs? | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
It promises to drive economic growth by investing in the digital sector. | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
The new strategy also promotes Guernsey as a choice | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
location for business, with big benefits to the island. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
Here at the Digital Greenhouse, a place that encourages | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
technology business, the report has been welcomed | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
The challenges ahead are many, the big one is going to be funding. The | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
new digital strategy strategic framework is a fantastic document, a | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
real wish list of how we would love Guernsey to be but the question is | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
how is it going to be funded, how much will it be funded? But I think | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
it is really important for people to look at it seriously unsafe, this is | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
worth investing our time and money and because it's the future of | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Guernsey. By 2026 it is hoped | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
the number of people working But the deputy behind the plan | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
is worried the States might not give We're looking at budget | :05:12. | :05:24. | |
prioritisation that is extremely difficult to be able to properly | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
fund these very sensible, pragmatic and doable strategies. But then | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
you're told you've got to achieve 2% cut this year, and then 5% and then | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
9%, and then how can you do that? in a digital industry in Guernsey, | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
but it's argued it'll be up to the States to invest both | :05:46. | :05:50. | |

News, Guernsey. A 30-year-old man from | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
Jersey has been found not Kevin Irving had been | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
accused of getting into bed with a woman in St | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Helier last July and trying to have sex with her while she mistook | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
him for someone else. Julie Flanagan was at the Royal | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Court where he was acquitted. The jury of six men and six women | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
took less than two hours to decide This trial was expected to last four | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
days but this morning the court decided Mr Irving should face one | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
lesser charge of attempted rape rather than the original charges | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
of indecent assault and rape. The jury was told the woman had met | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
a man on an internet dating site. While out with friends, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
she and the man were texting When they did, Kevin | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Irving was with them. He went back to the same house | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
as them to call a taxi but in the hours that followed, | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
the woman claimed Irving got into She claimed she only realised it | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
wasn't the man she thought it was when there was shouting | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
and someone turned The court heard that afterwards | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
she was scared and confused and her lawyer said very clearly | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
she would never have consented His defence advocate | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Ian Jones told the jury: with the woman there was no evidence | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
that Mr Irving was anxious or upset. I would suggest these | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
are the actions of someone And today the jury agreed, clearing | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Mr Irving of any wrongdoing. When the verdict was read out Mr | :07:31. | :07:42. | |
Irving briefed audio plea and he left the court without making any | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
comment. Julie Flannigan, BBC Channel Islands News, Jersey. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Guernsey police held an open evening to attract | :07:53. | :07:53. | |
Islanders had the chance to ask questions about what it's like | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
to be in the police, and were shown some demonstrations. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Some had their finger and shoe prints taken and others were shown | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
The police say such events are important to attract | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
It's very important. We have to keep recruiting local officers to come | :08:07. | :08:18. | |
and join our force. In the past we have struggled sometimes to recruit | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
the right amount of officers and most importantly quality officers. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
We cannot let our standards drop so tonight is about encouraging those | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
in community thinking about doing this job, come and talk to us and we | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
will explain what it's about and come and see what the job in the | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
police could be like. Cutting maintenance costs, by | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
reducing the need to cut the lawn. That's the idea behind a project | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
to plant large areas of wild Although it may look a little bare | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
now that won't be the case for long. The States say it'll be good | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
for bees, butterflies and budgets. On this particular site we have got | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
about 11,000 square metres of grassland. We have taken 2500 for | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
the wild flower areas. So that the reduction in cutting is obviously | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
25%, and so that is as saving on not only man-hours and fuel but also on | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
the exhaust fumes. After two weeks without meaningful | :09:14. | :09:14. | |
rain, Guernsey and Jersey Despite a dry April so far, | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
reservoirs are nearly full - and tests on the desalination plant | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
are due to top them Nevertheless, Guernsey | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
and Jersey Water are both urging It is just that season, the nice | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
weather has started so the garden takes off and so everyone is out and | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
about doing the things they love to do which makes Jersey a great place | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
to live. We are reminding them to take the opportunity to remind our | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
customers not to waste water. Officially drought - | :09:49. | :09:49. | |
the sunshine is stunning but I discovered not | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
quite shorts weather. It still feels a bit chilly, doesn't | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
it? Yes, it may feel a bit warmer | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
tomorrow and into the weekend but it will not last, next week it turns | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
colder. Just a refresher on what it means when we talk about the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
drought, a meteorological drought means 15 or more days without any | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
appreciable rain. The average rainfall should be around 56 | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
millimetres for the month of April and we have not had anywhere near | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
that. It looks like it will stay dry through and including the weekend | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
ahead. So, more scenes like this, lovely picture sent in by Andy on | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Guernsey, more fine weather to enjoy tomorrow, fine and dry, some | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
sunshine and generally no wind so it will feel warmer, warmer than today | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
at 13 or 14 degrees. The rain bearing clouds is a long way away, | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
out in the Atlantic developing into low-pressure, it is a long way away | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
and we have high pressure in charge through and including the weekend. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |

Saturday. The cold front drifts down from the north into Monday and | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Tuesday next week. -- weather front trapped within it. Some weather on | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
that weather front. More sharp showers on Tuesday. Until then it is | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
fine and dry, lovely evening and overnight tonight, temperatures back | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
into single figures, chilly at five or 6 degrees, and tomorrow is | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
another nice day, more cloud perhaps at times here and there but still | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
fine and dry and some sunshine in the afternoon. Temperatures back to | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
14 degrees. These are the times of high water, St Helier, 2:15am and | :11:34. | :11:44. | |
15:05pm. St Peter Port, 15:10pm. Light swell at the moment and the | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
coastal waters forecast as variable wind, generally fair with good | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
visibility. The forecast for Saturday is a fair amount of cloud, | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
slightly higher temperatures, still light winds, brighter on Sunday, | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
slightly cooler feeling a on Sunday and the temperatures start to go | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
down again by Monday next week. Monday late in the day there is a | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
possibility of a few light showers but the main activity in terms of | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
rainfall will be Tuesday with some often heavy showers. Thank you, | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
David. You're up to date with the latest | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
news for the Channel Islands - I'll be back with your headlines | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
at 8pm, have a good evening. Still to come in | :12:23. | :12:35. | |
tonight's programme: An education in construction - | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
the competition providing lessons And these were the conditions | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
on the River Dart today. How long will the dry | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
weather continue? To walk for the very first time | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
after being in a wheelchair for six years is a dream come true | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
in itself, but to complete a marathon - well, it's | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
almost unbelievable. But for Spencer Watts, | :13:06. | :13:06. | |
a Devon motocross rider who was paralysed in an accident six | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
years ago, that's the plan. He's hoping to complete next year's | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
London Marathon and, as he explained to Janine Jansen, | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
it's all thanks to a new Spencer Watts was paralysed | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
from the waist down in a motocross When I had my accident, | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
surgeons were telling me you will never ride again and I just | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
wanted to prove them all wrong. His solution was to tuck his legs | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
behind special bars It was nerve-racking at first, | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
but the most important thing with motocross is you have | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
to put your leg out Obviously, I'm not able to do that, | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
so that was a real big thing to take on and not knowing how I would be | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
able to react to that, and just rely on my upper body, | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
it really was hard. Recently, he was demonstrating these | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
robotic legs at a charity evening. Suddenly, the auctioneer started | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
getting people to bid for Spencer. I was lost for words, | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
I was all evening. Never for one minute did I think | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
that that sort of money would be Spencer says the first time | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
he walked was incredible. It was really strange and it felt | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
like I was going to fall over. It is like my whole body is floating | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
in the air because obviously It is a real strange | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
feeling but each time, You've got a watch, and you tell | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
the watch what you want to cause you simply tell the watch | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
if you want to stand To be up at that height again | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
and walking alongside my children, it's great to be able to walk | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
to the park with them. Really strange, just a climb down | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
stairs again is amazing. Nothing seems to stop | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
this young man. Since his accident, he's got married | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
and had two children and now that he can walk | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
at three miles per hour, Well, he wants to complete next | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
year's London Marathon. Good luck to Spencer | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
and in Spotlight tomorrow, we'll be hearing from some | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
of the south-west runners taking part in this year's London Marathon | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
taking place on Sunday. Some sports news and four | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
Exeter Chiefs players have been named in the England squad | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
which will tour Argentina this year. It's a first call up for 20-year-old | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
scrum half Jack Maunder Jack only made his Chiefs | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
debut this season. They're among 15 uncapped players | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
who've been selected. They join Henry Slade | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
and Luke Cowan Dickie and will head Some pictures proving very popular | :15:47. | :16:02. | |
on the spotlight Facebook page, baby giraffe has been born at Paignton | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
zoo. The new arrival came into the world yesterday morning and staff | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
don't know if it is a boy or a girl. The giraffe house is likely to be | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
closed for a few days but visitors may just be able to see the baby | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
this weekend. You can see why those pictures are | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
proving popular. We're often hearing about the need | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
to build more houses, but will there be enough | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
construction workers Well, efforts are underway to find | :16:25. | :16:25. | |
the next generation of builders and, today, some of the region's most | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
talented trainees went head to head in a bid to reach the national | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
finals of a competition. They were joined by hundreds | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
of school children who also got to have a go at some of the skills | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
needed in the building trade, Spotlight's John Danks reports from | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
South Devon College in Paignton. Year five pupils from Roseland's | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
primary school in Paignton get On hand to help are tradesmen | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
Chris and Julian from At that age, they might take | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
a liking to it and start pursuing it, so we think it is a very good | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
idea to get them going that young, And if they are very unlucky, | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
they might get to work When you are trying to scrape it in, | :17:15. | :17:35. | |
it gets stuck to the side of the wall and you have to get it in the | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
centre. You think might be interested in construction? Maybe. | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
But the real focus is the regional heat of the Skillbuild competition. | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
Around 100 construction trainees from colleges across the south-west | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
are competing for a place in the national finals. | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
Win or lose, if you can get it on the CV, it is fantastic and just | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
taking part is quite fun as well, so it's very good. | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
Looking at the joints, the craftsmanship, the way | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
they work, if they are working in a safe manner, so we cover | :18:16. | :18:16. | |
Six traits were being contested and for the trainees, the chance to | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
build the foundations for a successful career. | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
It's a massive kick start of their careers, so from here, | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
they can go on to the regional final and the national final, | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
which will be held later in the year in Birmingham. | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
If that goes well, there will be Euro skills and then World skills, | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
which will be in Russia and the winner of that comes back | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
to the UK and has a fabulous future ahead of them. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
When it comes to plastering, it looks like these kids have it | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
covered. The south-west has provided | :18:48. | :18:47. | |
incredible backdrops to film over the years, | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
and there's about to be another. This latest production coming out | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
later this year could provide a big It's a psychological thriller called | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
Winter Ridge and it's being shot entirely on location around | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Lynton and Lynmouth. Spotlight's North Devon reporter, | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
Andrea Ormsby, has been on set. Tense and emotional, | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
two of the main characters in a scene near the end | :19:08. | :19:19. | |
of the movie, but the location, can't help being the star | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
of the show. What an incredible location | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Valley of the Rocks is. Just has that kind of cinematic look | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
that you get in North America, It doesn't really feel | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
like it is a really small town, it has that grander scale to it, | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
so as soon as we came I knew it was where it had | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
to culminate and end. They scoured all over the UK, Wales, | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
Norfolk, the Peak District, all rejected the minute they set | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
eyes on Lynton and Lynemouth. And it was the perfect | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
location for us to do a film like a psychological thriller | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
in this area, it is quite ominous, it is quite dark, gritty at night | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
and shiny in the day, so it has got nice | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
contrasting landscape. Adjust your radio mic and then | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
we will be able to shoot! The movie centres around Matt's | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
character Ryan Barnes, He is joined by Game of Thrones | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
star Hannah Waddingham. The thing that always strikes me | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
about Game of Thrones is the crew are so gung-ho and have such passion | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
for it and these guys do. From the writers on this, | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
to the directors, if you do a low-budget film and the script | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
is good enough, you all join and have the same passion, | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
so it is not ready that dissimilar, and have the same passion, | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
so it is not really that dissimilar, except we are just trying to do it | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
on a tighter budget. Keep rolling, guys, | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
keep quiet, everyone. Having the film set here | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
is a real coup the locals. Having the film set here | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
is a real coup for locals. The whole community is, | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
because everybody's been involved. Everybody I speak to are either | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
an extra or their property is being used in some way | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
or their garden, or their view. And it's just created quite a buzz | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
and a film like this, I mean, it really could mean the most | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
wonderful bookings coming in for our bed and breakfast hotels | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
and our restaurants. And not only are locals playing | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
extras, one is officially listed I seem to have found myself | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
as acting location manager. I don't know why, but I guess | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
that'll teach me to pick up I mean, he rang me and asked | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
if I could think of some locations that the film company had asked | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
for and I came up with some answers and the next thing I know, | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
I'm included in the crew. Work experience is also on offer | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
for local youngsters. I've been on set watch, which is | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
looking at the equipment outside. I've been helping with the actors | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
and seeing that they are OK in between the takes and I've been | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
helping with backgrounds Filming has just started | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
and the crew will be here With a worldwide release later this | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
year, everyone here is hoping Well, from beautiful scenes in North | :22:12. | :22:32. | |
Devon to another one now. No better way, David. | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
I will clear off, look! That nose. | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Sorry to spoil it. Good evening. Yes, you have been taking smashing | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
pictures again. The last few days, some of the photographs we have been | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
receiving have been brilliant, this is one of our weather watchers. | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
Rather more cloud in Somerset, Kingsbury Episcopi whether cloud is | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
pretty extensive and produced a spot of drizzle in the afternoon but no | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
visible rain and Bluebell starting to come out in Dorset, fantastic | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
pictures. Tomorrow is very similar, lots of cloud around at times but | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
also some sunshine and still fine and dry. The setup hasn't changed | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
very much, we still have high pressure in charge. Some subtle | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
changes in the amount of cloud, there are weather friends travelling | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
down from the north over the next two or three days. They will change | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
think somewhat. Not tomorrow, that is very similar to today, variable | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
cloud at times and then some sunshine and then a front comes | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
towards us on Saturday, that will keep a lot of cloud for the rest of | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
the day but still dry and by Sunday, that will have moved away so Sunday | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
is also Brighton dry but this weather system coming in on Monday | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
and into Tuesday, quite a bit change associated with that. Not only a | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
drop in the temperatures but finally, some appreciable rain. This | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
evening is a fine evening, the cloud patchy in nature. This was earlier | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
today in Dartmouth, where our cameraman Jeff took the slow journey | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
across the river. Some lovely weather here, it has been more | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
cloudy today that the South coast but the Sun has come back out and it | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
has been pleasantly dry and mild today, with temperatures even a bit | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
higher than we have seen today for tomorrow, so tomorrow similar with | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
patchy cloud around, enough clear skies overnight to allow | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
temperatures back into single figures, so not as cold as it has | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
been but certainly low enough, six or 7 degrees the minimum | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
temperature. For tomorrow, another very similar day, patchy cloud | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
coming and going, largely dry, some decent spells of sunshine and | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
temperatures climbing up a little bit higher than they have been | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
recently, up to 15, possibly even 16 degrees, 61 in Fahrenheit. For the | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Isles of Scilly, a quiet day, gentle winds and a fine and dry spells of | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
sunshine. The times of high water... And for those surfing, it has been | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
disappointing this week, the ways haven't been very big but they do | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
pick up as we head for the weekend and into the early part of next | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
week. The coastal waters forecast, variable winds, no more than a force | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
two or three, fair with good visibility and slight seas. This is | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
the forecast as we head through the weekend and into next week. Nothing | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
too tricky at the moment. Monday, the winds pick up a little bit and | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
some point through the day, some light spots of rain out of a weather | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
front coming in from the north. What will show you tomorrow is choose a's | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
forecast and it will be a bit of a shock because there will be some | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
rain on the forecast. Have a good evening. We had to have | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
some rain eventually, I suppose, didn't we? That is all from us | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
tonight, thank you for joining us. Our late users at 10:30pm and we are | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
back again at 6:30am tomorrow. Good night. | :25:59. | :26:00. |
