:07:16. > :07:21.not sure when the first kurs Maher will use it. We're -- Kurs Maher
:07:21. > :07:24.will use it. We still need to get some things sorted, such as the
:07:25. > :07:30.navigation marks before we can accept a device. The industry has
:07:30. > :07:36.taken a knock, like many others, due to the recession. So it has
:07:36. > :07:42.slowed up. But the facility is there and we're ready, as soon as
:07:42. > :07:47.the developers are. The waver hub is to be run by -- Wave Hub is to
:07:47. > :07:51.be run by a stand alone company when the agency is wound up. More
:07:51. > :08:00.than �40 million has been invested by the public. The first company
:08:00. > :08:04.due to tie up alongside Wave Hub is Ocean Power, so can they say when
:08:04. > :08:08.they're coming. That is a great question. We want to carry on with
:08:08. > :08:12.trials in Scotland. We have done well with them and we intend to
:08:12. > :08:16.have them for three months, but we got an extension. So we will bring
:08:16. > :08:22.our device out of the water in October. And we will do survey and
:08:22. > :08:27.then we will look for what I call a commercial site. Of course Wave Hub
:08:27. > :08:31.is suited to that. The Government has said it is committed to making
:08:31. > :08:36.Wave Hub a success. But in the current climate, it will be
:08:36. > :08:41.difficult to attract the customers with the cash to plug into the hub

:08:44. > :08:47.harness the power of nature in different forms from the wind to

:08:50. > :08:53.solar farms in the South West is being built near Puriton on the
:08:53. > :08:56.Somerset Levels. It'll cover 31 acres in total, but, as Clinton
:08:56. > :09:06.Rogers reports, nearby residents say it's a desecration of the
:09:06. > :09:06.
:09:06. > :09:12.landscape. The panels are ten feet high. And by the time this solar
:09:12. > :09:18.farm is completed there will be pwhor than 20,000 of them acrossed
:09:18. > :09:25.31 acres in Somerset. The black lines will march across five fields
:09:25. > :09:29.to the edge of the village of Puriton. Those who live close to it
:09:29. > :09:35.are annoyed their view is being destroyed for what they call a
:09:35. > :09:40.pitiful amount of electricity. Desecration of the countryside,
:09:40. > :09:45.just I feel very sad about it. Just for a, fr people lining their
:09:45. > :09:50.pockets. It will be a blot on the landscape. You only have o' to look
:09:51. > :10:00.around and go up and see a sheet of black panels. It is just, I spoiled
:10:00. > :10:06.the outlook. The company behind the development say it is valuable
:10:06. > :10:11.green energy. We're on target to by the end of September produce four
:10:11. > :10:16.megawatts 06 capacity, that will go into the grid and that will provide
:10:16. > :10:20.enough energy for around 1,000 households. All of this has
:10:20. > :10:25.happened quickly. The farm was granted planning permission a few
:10:25. > :10:30.month ago. The reason for the speed, is to qualify for significant
:10:30. > :10:34.Government cash incentives, this farm had to be generatinglikety by
:10:34. > :10:41.the 1st August. Although it business -- electricity by 1st
:10:41. > :10:46.August. That will guarantee them a higher price for electricity for 25

:15:27. > :15:33.Weymouth and fit garage doors. You have seen some areas go quiet?
:15:33. > :15:38.but not all. Some would say now is not the time to spend on
:15:38. > :15:42.promotional events. Well this is our seventh year. We feel it is a
:15:42. > :15:45.good medium. People get touchy feely with the garage door and it
:15:45. > :15:49.works well. Some shows have disappeared, but as growth
:15:49. > :15:52.struggles across the country, the rest have been going from strength
:15:52. > :15:57.to strength. Today it is another show ground in Somerset, and I met
:15:57. > :16:03.the man who represents more than 200 of the events. A lot of people,

:16:09. > :16:14.Good weather. That has brought people out to their local event.
:16:14. > :16:19.And so because the people are coming, it has attracted exhibitor

:18:31. > :18:34.There is only so far you go before you need games to challenge
:18:34. > :18:38.yourselves and see if we're doing the right thing. I think we're in
:18:38. > :18:42.great nick and the players are looking in great can be and have
:18:42. > :18:47.bought into everything we have asked them to do. Beaten in the
:18:47. > :18:51.play off final by Worcester in Mair, the Cornish Pirates have proved
:18:51. > :18:57.their one of big shots in the second teer. Relegated Leeds will
:18:57. > :19:02.be the team to beat. The expeens of being in the final -- experience of
:19:02. > :19:06.being in the final last year will be priceless. Should we be good
:19:06. > :19:12.enough and lucky enough to get into that position again, we will be
:19:12. > :19:17.definitely better for the experience that we had in May.
:19:17. > :19:20.Plymouth Albion won't want to be dragged into another relegation
:19:20. > :19:25.battle. They retained their place in the Championship, but with no
:19:25. > :19:31.obvious candidate to go down this time, does that worry them? Well we
:19:31. > :19:35.want to be good at home. That is one of our goals. And try to
:19:35. > :19:40.strengthen our set piece game. So we have a defence as well that we
:19:40. > :19:47.can proud of and can carry on from last year. But set pieces are very
:19:47. > :19:57.important to any team. A good scrum, good defence. You are half way
:19:57. > :19:57.
:19:57. > :19:59.there. And openfully -- hopefully In cricket, Somerset are fighting

:21:42. > :21:48.- he had fallen more than 50 feet from this hotel in Padstow. His
:21:48. > :21:52.owner say they have no idea why he jumped the wall, but he landed in
:21:52. > :21:58.shrubbery where it broke his fall. He was treated for emergency shock

:22:05. > :22:10.That brought his shock balance down and he was stable when he came here.
:22:10. > :22:14.But his vertebrae had been crushed. Hadn't it? And he was not able the
:22:14. > :22:21.feel his back feet. He could make some attempts at walking. His tail
:22:21. > :22:27.was not moving. Stanly - eStanley underwent surgery and you can see
:22:27. > :22:33.the steel plate that has been placed alongside his spine. It was
:22:33. > :22:37.a complicated operation. But it was clear it was a success. It was two
:22:37. > :22:41.or three hours after surgery that he was about the move. His owners
:22:41. > :22:46.must be pleased? Yes they have had a rollercoaster. But they're
:22:46. > :22:51.delight and popped in to see him today. Stanley is doing so well he
:22:51. > :23:01.could leave not just a few days and the vets say he could be up for a
:23:01. > :23:05.proper Cornish walk within six weeks. Oh dear. Poor fellow. He
:23:05. > :23:10.seems to be doing all right. Yesless a brave boy. Now time for
:23:10. > :23:14.the weather. -- yes, he is a brave boy. David had a big response to
:23:14. > :23:18.the question you asked last night, what was summer like for you.
:23:18. > :23:26.had the official figures and we thought we would ask you what you
:23:26. > :23:31.thought we would ask you what you thought of the summer. We had over
:23:31. > :23:36.200 e-mail. Margaret said it was rubbish! James said the weather has
:23:36. > :23:42.been nowhere near as bad as previous years. In 2009 I lost
:23:42. > :23:48.almost four weeks during the summer. This year just four days. That was
:23:48. > :23:53.Jim. And from Keith and Carol, they think the summer has been quite
:23:53. > :23:59.good and said we have had some warm weather and it has been better than
:23:59. > :24:05.in previous years. But the summary of everything you have told us is
:24:05. > :24:11.interesting. It has been general lay cool summer. Cooler than normal.
:24:11. > :24:15.Less sunshine. But also drier than 2007 and 2008 and 2009. About the
:24:15. > :24:20.same amount of rain as 2010. But people have been saying that the
:24:20. > :24:24.rain has been coming at night, also the rain amounts have been heavy
:24:24. > :24:30.but in short space and the perception is it has been a drier
:24:30. > :24:33.summer than a few of the last few. Sofrpblgts that is the summer
:24:33. > :24:43.perception. -- so that is the summer perception. But now let's
:24:43. > :24:46.
:24:46. > :24:52.look at August. Because August in Penzance was cry -- dry. 8 is the
:24:52. > :24:57.average, just 57.4 through August. But one thing we notice the lack of
:24:57. > :25:03.sunshine. It has been a cool and a cloudy month. The average for the
:25:03. > :25:07.swers of England around 200 hours. -- South West of England.
:25:07. > :25:12.Temperatures have been down and it has been cooler than we expect.
:25:12. > :25:18.Both day time and night-time they have been down. The averages on the
:25:18. > :25:23.left and on the right what we saw in Penzance. Finally the one I know
:25:23. > :25:29.many people are interested in, is the reservoir levers. They are
:25:29. > :25:36.still down. This -- levels. They are still down. About 69% full at
:25:36. > :25:41.the moment. 55.7% full. So we need some more rain. Now the forecast.
:25:41. > :25:46.We have got some unsettled conditions heading N more sun
:25:46. > :25:51.settled and cooler. We have had 24 degrees today. But this line of
:25:51. > :25:55.cloud will start to produce some rain. It is a long way off. But it
:25:55. > :25:59.is creeping towards us. By the end of day tomorrow most of us turning
:25:59. > :26:02.out damp. The reason for that, an area of low pressure. This is the
:26:02. > :26:06.front that will bring the changement as that moves in, it
:26:06. > :26:11.will increase the wind and a lot of cloud and rain. And we're between
:26:11. > :26:16.front on Sunday. So brighter on Sunday. With more wet weather in
:26:16. > :26:20.the afternoon. This was the picture from earlier, there has been a lot
:26:20. > :26:27.of fine weather. In the last few hour, there is a line of showers.
:26:27. > :26:33.But most of us have a fine evening. Earlier we had unbroken sunshine
:26:33. > :26:38.here. It wasn't just here. We went further down to Cornwall and the
:26:38. > :26:43.blue skies continued. This is a fine story, right at the wrong time.
:26:43. > :26:48.As which move into the weekend, a lot more cloud coming our way and
:26:48. > :26:53.that will produce some rain. So let's look at the forecast. We do
:26:53. > :26:58.have some patchy rain tomorrow. That band of cloud and rain will
:26:58. > :27:03.spill in from the north and affect parts of west Cornwall, into the
:27:03. > :27:07.northern half of Devon. For the rest of us the mist and fog are a
:27:07. > :27:09.problem tonight and temperature down to 11 degree. Tomorrow morning,
:27:09. > :27:14.some brightness, particularly in Dorset and Somerset. Otherwise it
:27:14. > :27:19.is cloudy and here comes that line of rain. Creeping in through day.
:27:19. > :27:23.And after the warmth and the sunshine of today, it will be much
:27:23. > :27:29.cooler tomorrow. Top temperature of just 19 or 20 degrees. Again thanks
