:00:11. > :00:16.The Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall denies a climb-down over

:00:16. > :00:18.radical plans for policing. Good evening. Just three months

:00:18. > :00:21.after the shake-up, Stephen Otter admits some changes are already

:00:21. > :00:24.necessary. Also tonight:

:00:24. > :00:32.Preparing for 100,000 visitors - we will be live in Falmouth, which is

:00:32. > :00:35.becoming a film set and the venue for a major sailing regatta.

:00:35. > :00:39.Facing an ultimatum - the council staff told more jobs will be at

:00:39. > :00:46.risk if they don't accept new terms and conditions.

:00:46. > :00:50.And the fisherman thankful this one got away, but what was it?

:00:50. > :00:55.It is not the sort of thing you want to bring on your boat all want

:00:55. > :00:58.on the end of the will Hough. I don't think mine would have taken

:00:58. > :01:01.it anyway. The Chief Constable of Devon and

:01:01. > :01:04.Cornwall Police has denied a climb- down over radical plans to policing

:01:04. > :01:08.which were introduced just three months ago. His blueprint for the

:01:08. > :01:11.force was an attempt to deal with budget cuts and the loss of 700

:01:11. > :01:15.jobs. But Stephen Otter today told Spotlight he now believes more

:01:15. > :01:19.police need to be on the beat in rural areas in the daytime, and is

:01:19. > :01:26.taking action to make that happen. Our home affairs correspondent

:01:26. > :01:30.Simon Hall reports from the east Devon town of Honiton.

:01:31. > :01:34.Rural areas had raised concerns they would suffer under the

:01:34. > :01:38.reorganisation of policing in Devon and Cornwall with officers drawn

:01:38. > :01:44.into the cities and larger towns. Police say they are now addressing

:01:44. > :01:48.that. For traders like Chris Cook, it is a welcome move. There are not

:01:49. > :01:53.so many on market days as they used to be, not even with the community

:01:53. > :01:59.police, they are not here as often as they used to be, so to protect

:01:59. > :02:02.people and customers they could be a bit more supportive. The new

:02:02. > :02:06.policing model for Devon and Cornwall, the blueprint, it is

:02:06. > :02:11.designed to cope with the loss of 700 officers by making policing of

:02:11. > :02:15.flexible, but shift patterns meant many of us is working late into the

:02:15. > :02:20.night, fine for cities and big towns but less so for rural areas.

:02:20. > :02:24.Changes will mean more officers on rural beat in the daytime. What we

:02:24. > :02:32.are aiming to do is take their deployment around individual areas

:02:32. > :02:36.said the public get what they need, but so that we can response to --

:02:36. > :02:41.respond to emergencies Popple it. Is this an admission you did not

:02:41. > :02:45.get it right to start with? Not at all, we always knew we would create

:02:45. > :02:50.a corporate shift pattern to allow us to deal with demand better and

:02:50. > :02:54.then we would carefully planned a deployment plan around each area.

:02:54. > :02:58.The police say that surveys show on the breed visibility has remained

:02:58. > :03:02.steady despite the loss of officers. The changes to policing in rural

:03:02. > :03:06.areas will take effect over the next three months.

:03:06. > :03:10.Just how this GNU model of policing is working is being closely

:03:10. > :03:14.monitored here. Police have reassured the public that policing

:03:14. > :03:19.standards will be maintained, even after the loss of so many officers.

:03:19. > :03:27.They are acutely aware they are under close scrutiny to hold to

:03:27. > :03:30.that promise. Tourism bosses predict a huge boost

:03:30. > :03:34.to the economy of Falmouth as two big events converge on the resort.

:03:34. > :03:39.More than 100,000 people will visit the town as it gears up for

:03:39. > :03:42.Falmouth Week, which starts on Saturday.

:03:42. > :03:45.Not only that, but Brad Pitt and his Hollywood entourage are in the

:03:45. > :03:52.town to begin filming a major blockbuster movie. Our reporter

:03:52. > :03:56.Philippa Mina is in the Cornish town this evening.

:03:56. > :04:01.It is certainly a big deal for farmers. Behind me are the box, one

:04:01. > :04:05.of the main filming locations for Brad Pitt's new movie, and out on

:04:05. > :04:09.the water the setting for the region's largest sailing regatta.

:04:09. > :04:14.With both of these events over the next few weeks, it is exciting for

:04:14. > :04:18.locals and visitors but it is also a big boost for businesses.

:04:18. > :04:24.For Falmouth's many hotels and guest houses, it is quite a month.

:04:24. > :04:29.Not only are they are catering for the farmers wheat -- Falmouth week

:04:29. > :04:32.on Saturday, but the cast and crew of Brad Pitt's zombie movie are

:04:32. > :04:39.staying in the town well they work on the fairway. If we will not be

:04:39. > :04:43.busy at this time of year, when will we? Having to speed up a gear,

:04:43. > :04:49.so to speak. I think the film coming to us and the crew being

:04:49. > :04:53.with us, we are full to capacity. We wish we could have taken more,

:04:53. > :05:00.but it is a busy time of year. It creates a bit of energy amongst the

:05:00. > :05:03.team. Falmouth Week regatta is expected to bring in around 100,000

:05:03. > :05:07.visitors, with events and entertainment across the town as

:05:07. > :05:11.well as action on the water. It will be a busy time. Whether they

:05:11. > :05:19.favour zombies or sailing boats, for visitors and locals the arrival

:05:19. > :05:22.of the two events is welcome. regatta has been well publicised. I

:05:23. > :05:29.don't think I would have relatives come in because Brad Pitt was here.

:05:29. > :05:39.I think it is good for Falmouth. Parking may be a problem, but I am

:05:39. > :05:43.

:05:43. > :05:48.all for it. It might be a bit scary, the film. But I would still like it.

:05:48. > :05:54.If it is for are all dead than seven -8, then I would not watch it

:05:54. > :05:57.-- if it was for people older than seven decades, I would not watch it.

:05:57. > :06:01.There were rumours that Brad Pitt and his wife and children were

:06:02. > :06:08.staying around Falmouth, but whether it is true or not, it will

:06:08. > :06:12.still put farmers on the map. Paramount pictures are remaining

:06:12. > :06:18.tight-lipped about their stars and filming schedule, but what we do

:06:18. > :06:23.know is that this is all good for the economy, and I am joined by an

:06:24. > :06:28.Richard -- Richard Wilcox. What benefits are you expecting? This is

:06:28. > :06:34.hugely beneficial to farmers and be counted with over 500 crew and cast

:06:34. > :06:40.in the area for the next three weeks. We can expect a huge impact

:06:40. > :06:46.on the accommodation sector, drinks and food, retail sectors, will all

:06:46. > :06:55.benefit enormously from this. The profile is issued with national and

:06:55. > :06:59.international media gaze upon Salma. Of course there is significant

:06:59. > :07:04.local economic activity, Paramount will need 500 extras as part of the

:07:04. > :07:09.film them so all good for the local economy and community. And it is

:07:09. > :07:16.also good with the regatta, is and it? It is, Henri Lloyd sound of

:07:16. > :07:21.wheat is one of the largest in the UK and we can expect any think Bob

:07:21. > :07:28.to 100,000 visitors in the week for an array of coastal activity. So,

:07:28. > :07:33.yes, a huge benefit. Well, no sign of Brad Pitt yet, if I see anything

:07:33. > :07:36.you will be the first to know! Plymouth City Council claims 300

:07:36. > :07:39.extra jobs could be under threat if they fail to agree changes to staff

:07:39. > :07:42.terms and conditions with unions. The authority says it is reviewing

:07:42. > :07:45.the details of staff contracts to ensure they reflect the needs of

:07:45. > :07:48.the organisation. The council says its package of changes is the best

:07:48. > :07:53.way of achieving savings while avoiding the mass redundancies seen

:07:53. > :07:56.in some other authorities. The union Unite is prepared to sign up,

:07:56. > :08:01.but Unison and the GMB are still in talks over the possible loss of

:08:01. > :08:03.contractual overtime for 200 workers.

:08:03. > :08:07.Like all councils, Plymouth City has to make significant cuts after

:08:07. > :08:13.central Government reduced its funding. It needs to make �30

:08:13. > :08:18.million worth of savings over three years. They hope to save 18 million

:08:18. > :08:22.from their workforce over that period. So far, that means the loss

:08:22. > :08:27.of 500 posts. By changing staff contracts they could save �1.5

:08:27. > :08:29.million to help towards the �18 million total. But if the new terms

:08:29. > :08:35.are not agreed, the council's Cabinet Member for Finance says it

:08:35. > :08:40.could mean losing a further 300 jobs.

:08:40. > :08:46.I have to balance the books at the end of the year. Current cost of

:08:46. > :08:50.this non implementation is �330,000 already this year, and I will now

:08:50. > :08:54.be forced, if we cannot get an agreement, to look at alternatives,

:08:54. > :08:57.which I have to say will be less palatable and could involved a

:08:57. > :09:00.significant loss of additional jobs with the council.

:09:00. > :09:02.This is how the contract changes could affect staff. Removing

:09:02. > :09:05.contractual overtime. Simplifying overtime and shift allowances.

:09:05. > :09:10.Simplifying travel and other expenses. Changing the standard

:09:10. > :09:14.working week to include Saturday. This will enable the council to

:09:14. > :09:17.provide services at weekends without increasing costs. Stuart

:09:17. > :09:25.Fegan from the GMB union says the sticking point is over the removal

:09:25. > :09:30.of contractual over time which affects around 200 workers.

:09:30. > :09:34.The workforce work a certain amount of contractual overtime, work they

:09:34. > :09:39.are contracted to do outside of normal hours. The council wished to

:09:39. > :09:43.remove that contractual overtime, remove the work they are doing.

:09:43. > :09:45.That, in some cases, has a very significant impact on people's

:09:45. > :09:48.income. The council claims failing to reach

:09:48. > :09:51.agreement has cost them �330,000 already because they could not

:09:51. > :09:56.implement these contract changes in April. The unions are still meeting

:09:56. > :10:00.and discussing the options. A man with dementia from Somerset

:10:00. > :10:04.has been told he will not have his nursing care paid for by the NHS,

:10:04. > :10:07.even though a health service assessment said he should. The

:10:07. > :10:09.nurses who assessed 88-year-old Leslie Tushingham said his needs

:10:09. > :10:14.were "high", but that was later changed and his application for

:10:14. > :10:22.funding was refused. As Matthew Hill reports, Age UK says there is

:10:22. > :10:26.an inconsistency about who is eligible for free nursing care.

:10:26. > :10:32.Leslie Tushingham is almost blind and cannot understand what is going

:10:32. > :10:36.on around him. That is you in that play. Since October, the 88-year-

:10:37. > :10:42.old has been paying �3,000 a month to stay in this nursing home in

:10:42. > :10:50.Somerset. Very distressed, because you are trying to deal with a

:10:50. > :10:54.person who is very, very sick and yet, you know, you cannot really

:10:54. > :10:58.see what the end of the Financial destruction is going to be.

:10:58. > :11:05.family have applied for the NHS to pay because of the severity of his

:11:05. > :11:09.dementia, but have just been turned down. Mr Tushingham was recently

:11:09. > :11:16.assessed by specialist nurses who said his behaviour needs were high,

:11:16. > :11:19.but that was downgraded by the funding panel. They actually

:11:19. > :11:23.changed the scoring on the behaviour domain from high to

:11:23. > :11:28.moderate and said that he poses predictable but challenging, which

:11:28. > :11:32.is in real contrast to what the experts recommended. The average

:11:32. > :11:36.family would not know how to go through this process, they would

:11:36. > :11:41.not know where to start. As a nurse who works for a law firm, his

:11:41. > :11:44.daughter says she is better able to challenge this decision. NHS

:11:44. > :11:47.Somerset has refused to be interviewed but in a statement they

:11:47. > :11:51.point out such applications are reviewed against national

:11:51. > :11:55.guidelines and, when there is insufficient evidence presented to

:11:55. > :12:00.demonstrate the recommended level of lead, the panel will identify

:12:00. > :12:05.this. They are also tried to contact Mr Tushingham's family to

:12:05. > :12:08.explain the appeals process to them. But the charity Age UK says this

:12:08. > :12:14.case highlights long-standing inconsistencies with the assessment

:12:15. > :12:18.process. Already, some people can have waited up to 42 days just for

:12:18. > :12:24.the decision, said then to expect them to go back and appeal and

:12:24. > :12:28.potentially go into quite a lengthy period to get back or start getting

:12:28. > :12:31.funding, we are talking sometimes substantial amounts of money which

:12:31. > :12:36.people might not need to be paying. His family will now appeal the

:12:36. > :12:42.decision. They believe they will win, but others without the same

:12:42. > :12:47.expertise might not be so confident. Still to come in Spotlight tonight:

:12:47. > :12:50.The young man inspired by his own life story. We will be meeting Nick,

:12:50. > :13:00.who, after being fostered 57 times and adopted three, says he is ready

:13:00. > :13:03.

:13:03. > :13:05.to help others through the tough First, though, a subject which

:13:05. > :13:09.divides opinion. The police are warning drivers

:13:09. > :13:12.towing caravans to slow down after a spate of accidents in the region.

:13:12. > :13:14.With more than 100 an hour coming into the South West, there is

:13:14. > :13:19.concern speed limits are being ignored. Spotlight's Simon

:13:19. > :13:24.Alexander reports. Taking the caravan on holiday is

:13:24. > :13:28.proving more popular than ever this summer, with long queues on some of

:13:28. > :13:32.the major routes. Drivers are being urged to think about their speed.

:13:32. > :13:36.Speed is an issue, and the weight limit. A lot of people try to pack

:13:36. > :13:42.everything they can get into the caravan, but unfortunately they are

:13:42. > :13:45.not loading it correctly which can make the vehicle on a stable.

:13:45. > :13:50.Caravan owners know they are unpopular with other motorists and

:13:50. > :13:55.feel it is often other road users have caused the problems. I try to

:13:55. > :14:00.keep down to under 60 miles an hour, but it is people overtaking that

:14:00. > :14:05.caused some of the problems because they get too close to the trade a

:14:05. > :14:12.tent or the caravans, which pours it out of line and started wobbling.

:14:12. > :14:18.When we are slowing down in go to climb hills, a lot of road users do

:14:18. > :14:22.not want to get us out because we slowed them doubt. Drivers towing

:14:22. > :14:27.caravans have certain systems to make their caravan more stable,

:14:27. > :14:31.like this handle. Police, though, saying it can lead drivers into a

:14:31. > :14:34.false sense of security when driving at speeds. If we have an

:14:34. > :14:38.increase in the number of collisions, we want to get the

:14:38. > :14:44.right messages out to make sure people drive safely, stay below the

:14:44. > :14:47.speed limit, make sure their vehicles or equipment is packaged

:14:47. > :14:52.properly, evenly spread, which makes a combination more safe.

:14:52. > :14:57.Police are hoping of motorists heed the safety advice, it might reduce

:14:57. > :15:00.accidents and keep the amount of delays down.

:15:00. > :15:03.Now, an inspiring story of a young man whose determination to improve

:15:03. > :15:06.his own life has led him to help others. 18-year-old Nick Fidock

:15:06. > :15:09.faced many struggles during his time in care, but, as Louise

:15:09. > :15:16.Hubball's been finding out, thanks to help from a youth club in

:15:16. > :15:22.Cornwall he now wants to train as a youth worker.

:15:22. > :15:25.I had a hard background, but you get over it, you get used to it.

:15:25. > :15:31.18-year-old Nick Fidock is determined not to fade into the

:15:31. > :15:35.background. It has not been easy. He has had 57 foster families in

:15:35. > :15:40.17.5 years. He has been adopted three times and has been in trouble

:15:40. > :15:47.with the police. Moving around all the time, being in different foster

:15:47. > :15:54.homes. It is so hard on your education, your friends, you lose

:15:54. > :15:58.your friends because you move over the country. But now he is

:15:58. > :16:04.determined to use his past to help other young people. He has been

:16:05. > :16:09.inspired by the House youth club. It gets teenagers off the streets,

:16:09. > :16:15.providing a safe place to hang out, do activities and talk about their

:16:15. > :16:20.experiences. Music is a massive thing for me. I have learned over

:16:20. > :16:25.the year how to make music and write lyrics straight off my head.

:16:25. > :16:33.And with his new-found confidence, Mick now plans to go to university

:16:33. > :16:37.to train as a new worker. -- a youth worker. I have met so many

:16:38. > :16:43.people being in care for so long that I can understand how people

:16:43. > :16:48.feel. At the moment, I feel happy with what I am giving with my life,

:16:48. > :16:53.and I am just waiting to succeed and two more with the EU's work and

:16:53. > :16:57.children in care. -- with the youth work.

:16:57. > :16:59.David will be here with the weather forecast and stats from last month

:16:59. > :17:03.soon, also still to come: Apparently she didn't want any fuss

:17:03. > :17:06.- the Plymouth woman who says she is surprised to be celebrating her

:17:07. > :17:10.105th birthday. It is wonderful, really. I never

:17:10. > :17:17.expected anything like that in my life, I never thought I would go as

:17:17. > :17:21.We always seem to think that the cost of everything is going up, but

:17:21. > :17:24.what about the cost of going to a football match? The BBC has

:17:24. > :17:27.conducted a survey into the cost of going to a game, and our clubs come

:17:27. > :17:32.up as some of the cheapest around. Our sports reporter Brent Pilnick

:17:33. > :17:36.is here to explain more. How do our clubs fare in the price lead?

:17:36. > :17:39.Well, Justin, I know you're a man who likes to manage his pennies.

:17:39. > :17:42.You will be pleased to know that our sides do pretty well, actually.

:17:43. > :17:46.The BBC's survey looked at the cost of the cheapest ticket on the gate

:17:47. > :17:50.and added that to the cost of a programme, a pie and a cup of tea.

:17:50. > :17:53.Our most expensive side is the one in the highest league, Exeter City.

:17:53. > :17:56.The cheapest day out at St James Park is �24.30, �8 more than the

:17:56. > :17:59.cheapest club in the league, Rochdale. But there is much better

:17:59. > :18:02.news for fans of League Two sides Torquay United and Plymouth Argyle.

:18:02. > :18:12.The Gulls are the second cheapest in League Two, with a day out

:18:12. > :18:20.

:18:20. > :18:25.But what do fans of the clubs think of the cost of a ticket? A thing

:18:25. > :18:29.the prices are reasonable. We play good football, a great atmosphere,

:18:29. > :18:33.so we think it is good value for money. Good value for money, we

:18:33. > :18:37.enjoy it and it is an entertaining afternoon out. It is comparable

:18:37. > :18:43.with other clubs in this division, set to live.

:18:43. > :18:46.And what about the cost of a cup of tea? The price of a cup of tea

:18:46. > :18:51.could be cheaper, but when you are catering to a lot of people it is

:18:51. > :18:55.good to make some money. I don't buy tea, I buy Coke, but it is

:18:55. > :19:01.reasonable. I don't drink tea at a football ground, but I know others

:19:01. > :19:05.who do, and it is not cheap. So who is the most expensive?

:19:05. > :19:14.The top price for a day out in both League One and Two is �27.80, at

:19:14. > :19:22.Leyton Orient and Bradford City respectively. In the Premier League,

:19:22. > :19:27.more than half of the club's charge more than �30. But at Plainmoor, in

:19:27. > :19:32.the South West, a cup of tea is just �1! But that is nothing

:19:33. > :19:35.A fisherman from South Devon has been describing the moment he came

:19:36. > :19:39.face-to-face with a rare shark. Jim Millar had been fishing without any

:19:39. > :19:42.success for more than three hours off Dartmouth when he spotted a fin

:19:42. > :19:44.emerge from the water. As he explains, it soon became clear what

:19:44. > :19:53.it was. We were fishing about three-and-a-

:19:53. > :19:58.half hours and me and my make John saw this thin come out of the water

:19:58. > :20:01.so we went over to it and I rushed out to get my camera as quick as

:20:01. > :20:05.possible and we filmed a thresher possible and we filmed a thresher

:20:09. > :20:16.seen it and we have been going out into those waters for about 10

:20:16. > :20:21.years now. Never seen anything like it. It was amazing to see it. It is

:20:21. > :20:27.called the East Bank, where people go Basque fishing. It was out

:20:27. > :20:32.standing just to see it. I should think it is about 15 ft, with

:20:32. > :20:37.detail, because when the tale comes out it is very high. With that, it

:20:37. > :20:41.is probably much longer, but the body I reckon is about 15 feet. It

:20:41. > :20:48.is not the sort of thing you want to bring on your boat or want on

:20:48. > :20:52.the end of your Hawkeye. I was not worried. I had a girly moment when

:20:52. > :20:59.my friend was trying to entice it closer to the boat and I told him,

:20:59. > :21:05.in no uncertain terms, stop! I was quite happy to see it as it was!

:21:05. > :21:13.But, yes, it was good, a very good day. He will be telling that story

:21:13. > :21:15.Now we are all being told that we are living longer these days, but

:21:15. > :21:23.imagine reaching the grand old age of 105!

:21:23. > :21:27.You will still be here, Justin! To bring the show?! Probably!

:21:27. > :21:29.Spotlight's Amy Cole has been to meet a woman from Plymouth who has

:21:29. > :21:33.just celebrated that milestone with another telegram from the Queen!

:21:33. > :21:37.A better day to remember, and she's still recovering from the

:21:37. > :21:44.celebrations. The cleaning lady gave me that the stock that was

:21:44. > :21:46.nice of her, lovely. Queenie Bartlett has just turned 105 and

:21:47. > :21:54.she is thrilled to have received another telegram from that other

:21:54. > :22:00.well-known Queen. It is beautiful, a beautiful picture of the Queen.

:22:00. > :22:06.It is really lovely. You are about 20 years older than her! Pardon?

:22:06. > :22:10.You are so much older than the Queen! Yes! I never expected

:22:10. > :22:16.anything like that in my life, I never thought I would go as long as

:22:16. > :22:20.that! During her life, she has seen a few things. A memory that has not

:22:20. > :22:28.worked out -- not warned that is her time during the Plymouth Bridge.

:22:28. > :22:32.Shocking, it was. We are used to have to grab all of our clothes and

:22:33. > :22:39.rushed to the Underground. It was very frightening. My mother and all

:22:39. > :22:44.of her papers and money and everything. There was one funny

:22:44. > :22:53.thing about it, she had one of these old fashioned mangles and she

:22:53. > :23:01.said, I will put my papers and my book and did that card, that piece

:23:01. > :23:06.of wood, and it will be safe. It got blown to bits! We lost it all,

:23:06. > :23:11.my birth certificate and everything. After living through two World Wars

:23:12. > :23:17.and more than a century of change, one can only imagine how proud

:23:17. > :23:24.Queenie's mother would be. I have a pilot as well as that at

:23:24. > :23:28.If I am still here doing this at 105, I hope I am as good as Queenie.

:23:28. > :23:30.So do we! Let's go to the weather forecast

:23:31. > :23:35.with some statistics from last month.

:23:35. > :23:39.We know we had a dry spring and a lot of wet weather in June, but in

:23:39. > :23:43.July we had some rain that has helped top things up. It was not

:23:43. > :23:51.the wettest month in the last few years in terms of midsummer

:23:51. > :23:54.rainfall, but let's start with a On the left-hand side is the

:23:54. > :24:03.average rainfall we expect for the month of July, on the right is what

:24:03. > :24:12.we saw, quite a bit down. When you look at the sunshine, that was also

:24:12. > :24:19.down. Quite a sunny month, July, we should have had around 230 hours,

:24:19. > :24:22.but 170 is what we saw this year. The temperatures, we had some cold

:24:22. > :24:32.nights during the month of July, but excellent being close to the

:24:32. > :24:35.

:24:35. > :24:39.sea was about average. -- Exmouth being close to the sea. This is the

:24:39. > :24:45.one I am sure most people are interested in, water levels in our

:24:45. > :24:50.reservoirs. On the left, the amount this time last year, 72.3% full. On

:24:50. > :24:54.the right hand side, what we have now, just under 61% full, not a

:24:54. > :24:57.great deal of difference despite the dry weather and there is some

:24:57. > :25:02.rain in the forecast over the next few days to stop those reservoirs

:25:02. > :25:06.Let's have a look at the detail overnight and for the rest of this

:25:06. > :25:12.week. It turns more unsettled, more persistent rain turning them,

:25:12. > :25:16.especially Wednesday night in to their state. At the moment, though,

:25:16. > :25:20.strands of cloud giving a few showers this evening, but most

:25:20. > :25:27.activity is out here where an area of low pressure will develop over

:25:27. > :25:30.the next few days. We have some high-pressure, giving some highly -

:25:30. > :25:37.- some showers this evening. By lunchtime on Thursday we have an

:25:37. > :25:41.active system moving through, quite heavy rain early on Thursday. But a

:25:41. > :25:47.fresher, cooler feel towards the end of the week. This was the

:25:47. > :25:57.picture today, some sunshine here and there. Damage our cameraman was

:26:03. > :26:08.paddle on the water, the sunshine has upped and a few people allowed

:26:08. > :26:12.to enjoy the views on the riverside. A lovely way to spend an afternoon.

:26:12. > :26:17.The sunshine has been out today and will be out tomorrow, but after

:26:17. > :26:21.tomorrow we have the change in the winter, more unsettled, a breeze, a

:26:21. > :26:26.fresher feel to the air and some rain in the forecast. Some showers

:26:26. > :26:31.possible tonight, but not many, the main problem will be mist and fog

:26:31. > :26:36.forming by the morning and temperatures down to as low as 13

:26:37. > :26:40.from 14, so quite a muggy night again. Tomorrow, some sunshine, but
