Sleeping in hedges, begging on the street and scavenging for food - | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
one man's account of sleeping rough in a countryside town. A local | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
:00:28. | :00:29. | ||
church says the numbers are rising. We are seeing younger men and | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
middle-aged men who have fallen on hard times. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Good evening and welcome to Spotlight. We'll be assessing how | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
much of a problem rural homelessness really is. | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Also tonight: We are a region defined by our coastline - now | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
plans are being put forward for dozens of new marine conservation | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
zones. Every metal detector's dreams - the | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
amazing treasure buried beneath the surface, but it's not quite a case | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
A homeless charity says the number of people sleeping rough in Dorset | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
is on the rise and rural areas are affected as well as big towns. One | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
local church has told Spotlight it has seen a growing number turning | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
up on the doorstep asking for food, but the district council says help | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
:01:18. | :01:42. | ||
is available if it is needed. I've been in Dorset investigating. To I | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
ended up being homeless, slid in with other guys. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
I have even slept in a wheelie bin. He took me to some of the places | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
that he says him and others have been staying. This is just a two- | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
man tent. I have been intense in this know and things. You just have | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
to cuddle up to each other. It is this - - is this rural homelessness | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
hit and four - - hidden from view? I have never been homeless before. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
I take my hat off to homelessness. The discipline - - opened my eyes | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
up. This is not something you ever told you would be doing? And 81 to | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
be doing it. John lost his parents and turn to alcohol, is staying | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
with friends before ending up on the streets. He says he is on top | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
of his drinking, but understood to go back to his family in Essex. He | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
says some have been slipping in this hedge outside this church. | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
can see the card boards. So, people will be coming up to church and a | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
Sunday morning not knowing that three of your hidden behind here. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Basically, yeah. The local rectory has become a port of call for food | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
and clothing. We would expect to get five people at the front door. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
They will turn up, ring the bell and would ask for food or for some | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
help and we do what we can. Out the numbers increasing? Very definitely. | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
And the age profile is changing. Fragrance tend to be older men, but | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
not what we're seeing now are younger men and middle-aged men who | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
have fallen on hard times. There is an increasing number of people | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
coming to us for advice, and increasing the number of people | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
homeless and to the number of people threatened with homelessness. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
West Dorset District Council says it carries a regular checks in this | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
town and this week found no rough sleepers. It lets that there are | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
services available if people find themselves homeless. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Our Political Editor, Martyn Oates, joins me now. A number of people in | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
the film there saying this is a problem and yet the local council | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
saying it isn't. Is rural homelessness just hidden in every | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
sense? You were filming in Dorset. In Cornwall the council has | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
produced its latest survey into homelessness and the findings | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
showed that the number of rough sleepers in Cornwall has increased. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
At the same time, the council says that might not be an entirely | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
accurate depiction because it in cities by got a better method of | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
identifying rough sleepers. It also says that last year's information | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
did not contain any information for Cornwall east of St Austell. | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
Cornwall is taking the problem very seriously indeed. It still thinks | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
that this year's total of 88 is a conservative estimate and this is | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
getting those people off the streets into proper housing is a | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
priority. Housing is the responsibility of local government, | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
but also Westminster. What are they doing? The government insists that | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
homelessness nationally is at an all-time low, but it says it is | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
giving local authorities �400 million to deal with the problems. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
It is also committing itself to building 170,000 affordable homes | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
in that period. New affordable homes in theory in the south-west | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
are something to be welcomed, but the way the government is going | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
about to them where those homes will be built, particularly if | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
they're on green field sites, is proving increasingly controversial. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
The body of Plymouth Royal Marine Sergeant Barry Weston has been | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
repatriated this afternoon. Sergeant Weston, a father of three, | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
was serving with 42 Commando when he was killed by a roadside bomb in | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Afghanistan. His body was flown into RAF Brize Norton this | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
afternoon and his cortege travelled through the village before stopping | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
at a memorial garden. It is the first repatriation at the base | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
:06:28. | :06:34. | ||
since they ended at RAF Lyneham And there'll be more on the | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
repatriation of Sergeant Barry Weston in our late news tonight. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Proposals which could see 20% of the sea around the South West coast | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
protected by marine conservation zones have been put forward to the | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Government. These are areas which limit the amount of fishing and | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
other activities that can take place as a way of protecting | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
species. The plans have been welcomed by conservationists, but | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
some fishermen are critical saying their industry is already under | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
prolonged attack. Spotlight's Environment Correspondent, Adrian | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
Campbell, reports. This south-west has some of this | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
country's most impressive marine habitat, but the need for increased | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
conservation netted across Europe has prompted a three-year debate | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
with interested groups here about how to conserve the marine | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
environment. Finding sanctuary has topped with everyone and now | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
delivered its final verdict. It suggests a new network of marine | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
conservation zones covering 20 % of the sea. There is a lot of detail | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
about which sectors have supported the site and how it has originated. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
The detail that has gone into finding areas which are most | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
acceptable to all the sectors around the table, so we look at a | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
huge variety of different stakeholders and interests, people | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
come with different values, and what this represents is the | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
compromises that all sides were prepared to make. Finding Sentry | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
recommends that to be 13 Marine Conservation dunes beyond 12 | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
nautical miles. It is proposing 32 inshore conservation zones and | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
there would be 13 reference areas, many of which would be underside | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
coast. The was had - - these would have the strongest protection. It | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
is suggested that the Isles of Scilly Conservation some would have | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
many different components, and Lundy would get extra protection. | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
So why the conservationists have been? Historically, Management of | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
fisheries has been from a position of reluctance and we have now | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
reduced this. Our oceans around the edge of collapse and we have to put | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
in a robust system of protected areas if we have any chance - - if | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
we are to have any chance of moving it forward. Fishermen see it | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
differently. To blanket areas is not the way to do it. How would you | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
do it? What are your ideas? would have to get everyone together | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
and find what is reasonable ways of doing it. The government aims to | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
establish the new Marine Conservation since the the end of | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
2012, but first there will be a further period of public | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
consultation. We will be going to the minister with our case during | :09:34. | :09:43. | |
that consultation and we hope that the minister will go to the sides | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
of the needs of the fishing industry and the food needs of this | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
nation. A but it will be at least another year before we know for | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
certain how many conservation zones are approved by government. | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
This sale of Plymouth Argyll Football Club has been opened up to | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
fresh bitters. The administrator is making new offers. The deal with | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
Bishop International has still not completed. Hamish Marshall is with | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
me. Does this bring us nearer to a solution? It dos, but it is a | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
double edged sword. The administrator has run out of | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
patience with the bid from Kevin Heaney. A quick because this have | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
to be done? The timescale is very tight. The players and staff have | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
signed a deal which says they will work on reduced wages until next | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
:10:50. | :10:51. | ||
Thursday but some sort of tangible deal needs to be introduced them. | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
Who is going to be in the frame? Kevin Heaney still says that his | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
bid could happen. James Brent is definitely somebody he is engaged | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
with the administrator already. Another businessman from the south- | :11:07. | :11:15. | |
east launched a bid in March. Those three are still expected to be | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
involved. More bidders could come forward, but the club has big debts | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
so I don't think the doors will be knocked down with the bidders. | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Peter Ridsdale? Peter Ridsdale would have taken over the club | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
under the deal with Kevin Heaney. He says he will stay as acting | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
chairman until the deal is done. He said that if the new owner wants | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
him to remain, but if the new owner would be happy to walk away, he | :11:41. | :11:51. | |
:11:51. | :11:51. | ||
would be happy to do that as well. Coming up: We will be looking | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
around an eclectic mix of heritage sites later in the programme. From | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
castles to cottages, tin mines to treatment works, they are all open | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
free as part of Heritage open day And from source to supply, we | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
:12:11. | :12:15. | ||
explore the history behind the A piece of silver found near | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Newquay has been declared treasure trove at a special inquest in Truro. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
The 13th century solid silver seal was found by a metal detector | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
enthusiast on farmland near the resort. Experts say it is an | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
extremely rare find. Our Cornwall reporter, David George, has the | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
details. John Faraday has been using his | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
metal detector for almost 35 years. And during that time he has found | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
dozens of coins but none of them anything like what he found on 6th | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
February this year. A I thought it was just a branch. What he had | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
actually found what a solid silver seal, a little bit bigger than a 10 | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
pence coin. It shows an eagle with its wings outstretched and an | :12:53. | :13:02. | |
inscription that says it is the seal of Tristan. It is from the | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
13th century. I was a bag of nerves! It is a lovely feeling to | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
pick up something from the soil that has been there 700 years. But | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
is quite exciting. I was shaking like a leaf. To date the Cornwall | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
coroner declared this field to be treasure trove, meaning that it | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
belongs to the States. Once it has been valued the finder and | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
landowner will share the proceeds. The Cornwall Museum wants to add | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
this to its collection. It would have been used to seal to represent | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
:13:50. | :13:59. | ||
the Earl to say that I'm official. You can imagine Tristan out here on | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
the north cliffs, perhaps on his horse riding along, but he has lost | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
his seal. Little did he know it would be 800 years before it was | :14:09. | :14:18. | |
found again. Sites across the South West rarely | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
seen by the public are being opened up this weekend as part of Heritage | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Open Days. Old factories, cottages and castles will be on show, along | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
with some sites you would expect people to turn their noses up at. | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
:14:38. | :14:46. | ||
Priston House in Plymouth. It is in the city centre, but is very rarely | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
:14:56. | :14:59. | ||
seen. This is the main room of the House. It is a thought to be the | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
oldest house in Plymouth. As well as being used by the Church it has | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
been a wine store and a bacon factory. He is the only example of | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
a medieval house in Plymouth. This was built in the 14 the 80s. | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
Heritage Open Days is a national event giving people the chance to | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
see important sites. There is such a huge variety of places. There | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
should be something to tickle your curiosity and suit your taste. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Don't be fooled into thinking this is just about old homes. This | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
sewage works in Torbay is opening its doors and there are plenty of | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
people clambering for the chance to see how local waste water is | :15:48. | :15:57. | |
processed. This is ultraviolet disinfectant. It is the final part | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
of the process and kills the remaining bacteria by altering its | :16:02. | :16:11. | |
DNA. I know what you're thinking, does it smell? Well, yes, a little | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
bit, but I am told what Ms Snelling is the chemicals. For it deals with | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
10 million gallons of raw sewage a day. At the end of that process we | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
have six Blue Flag beaches in Torbay. Some of the sides taking | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
part are at asking people to pre- book. All the events are free. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
The Government has agreed to plans to increase the age limit for girls | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
to play alongside boys in mixed football teams. It follows a | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
successful campaign led by Emily Lewis-Clarke from Newton Abbot, who | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
took a 6,000 name petition to the Football Association in London | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
earlier this year. The FA voted to raise the age limit from 11 to 13, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
meaning Emily could carry on playing for her local side next | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
season. Today's dreary weather might make | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
you think that summer is over, but the cricket season in the South | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
West has just reached a scorching finale. Devon's County cricketers | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
have returned home as the Champions of all the Minor League Counties. | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
To find out how they did it, we can go live to Spotlight's reporter | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
Simon Walton, who is joining the celebrations at Sidmouth Cricket | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
:17:28. | :17:33. | ||
Well, rumours of the early end to this summer may be premature | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
because it is a lovely evening here. What an amazing cricket ground. | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
That is to deceive just across that boundary, and it is the clubhouse, | :17:45. | :17:54. | |
which is thatched. A few weeks ago, Devon was in the semi-finals | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
against Berkshire, which they beat. Today they returned victorious from | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
the final. I will hand this over to the man of the match. How did you | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
come to be man of the match? managed to get a few runs and a few | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
wickets in the second innings. It was more of a team performance. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
half century you got, and some crucial wickets. Yes, it would do | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
quite nicely in the end. A great time for English cricket. Have you | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
got ambitions to go on to first- class cricket? Of course I would | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
absolutely love to. I had just got to keep taking more runs and | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
getting more wickets. A what does this mean for debt and cricket? | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
means a great deal. We have had good success in the past with three | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
victories in the last eight years in the championship. We won at the | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
very mature side in 2006 but this time we have had a development | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
squad of youngsters. Debt and has a reputation for nurturing talent and | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
sending them on to the bigger clubs. Yes, there are several other | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
players with Somerset and another with Warwickshire. So, what is next | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
for you? Keep working over the winter, keep doing my physical work | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
and keep trying to improve if my cricket. Lackeys said, scored a few | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
more runs, took a few more wickets. Now you are back to your day job as | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
a physiotherapist. Good luck with that, good luck with your cricket | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
enjoy rugby over the winter. From, Sidmouth, the home of the man of | :19:44. | :19:54. | |
:19:54. | :20:02. | ||
the match but it - - man of the Now, the weather. We have had to an | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
unusually dry spring, saw our water levels are running low. But how do | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
we get a water? Tonight we start the first and a series about water | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
and look at the history of our water supply in the south-west. | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
Only about 3% of the water on planet Earth is freshwater and off | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
that's 1% is drinking water. The water in a race at worst, streams | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
and rivers is the same water that the dinosaurs were drinking. It | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
starts out at sea as condensation, then falls as rain. And the water | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
reaches the ground it flows towards the sea and the process repeats | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
itself. On the way the water is absorbed by plants and animals and | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
sustains life. In the south-west springs and rivers would have been | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
her first water supply, but as the population increased we needed to | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
:21:05. | :21:07. | ||
Channel waters to towns and villages. Water pipes were first | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
made from wood and then clay, with metal or cast-iron becoming the | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
mainstay of water distribution, still used today. Pumping water | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
into pipes proved to be a challenge without power, but in Dorset the | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
engineers had the solution, the water is the power. The race to | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
acquire stores to water out of the springs and it provides a pressure | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
head because the reservoir is 50 ft higher than we are at the present | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
time. That provides the pressure to drive that - - drive the turbine | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
unit. The Red rotor is what spins round with the water coming up | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
through the centre column, in to the rotor and that's what drives | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
around. By the rotation of it rotating round this year and into | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
the crank shaft, that drives the pistons which pubs the water up to | :22:05. | :22:10. | |

Weymouth. As demand increased, reservoirs are were built. | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
first was this one on the edge of Dartmoor in 1861. Then this one and | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
1898. This was the main water supply for Plymouth and the | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
building of the dam took five years and back then cost �178,000. That | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
would be �10 million in today's money. It is built out of 60,000 | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
tons of granite blocks. In the late 70s and 80s the largest West at | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
work for belts. New Maze - - new ways to move and store water came | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
on line. This reservoir quadrupled the amount of water stored in the | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
south-west. But even that couldn't keep up with demand. In the early | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
1990s it became apparent that we needed to provide more water. We | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
looked at different alternatives that will be decided the best one | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
was was a pump storage scheme. Miners were brought into tunnel 800 | :23:17. | :23:27. | |

Seven kilometres of pipeline were late. This system is a key part of | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
South West Water's distribution system. Next week we will be | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
looking at her current water supply and following the water from wet of | :23:36. | :23:46. | |

work to tap. - - From re Izaguirre We have more wet-weather to come. | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
It will be a wet weekend. It will be drier tomorrow, but Saturday and | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
Sunday looked unsettled. This is the first area of low pressure. It | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
throws ahead of it a lot of moist air, hence the low cloud and fog we | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
are likely to see this evening. These weather systems will push | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
their way northwards and we are between weather fronts by midday | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
:24:40. | :24:40. | ||
tomorrow. It will be drier and brighter. By the time we get into | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
the weekend, it really does start to get quite active. This area of | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
low pressure will sweep across Britain with strong winds and rain | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
in Saturday morning, replaced by showers in the afternoon. There is | :24:54. | :25:04. | |
:25:04. | :25:05. | ||
the cloud structure from earlier today. The cloud will become law | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
and claw through this evening and overnight tonight. There will be | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
extensive fog overnight tonight. It will be very miles, so the it | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
overnight temperatures will be no law than 14 degrees for most of us. | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
Tomorrow morning we had the mist and low cloud to start the day. | :25:22. | :25:32. | |
:25:32. | :25:33. | ||
There will be some bright nuts. It will feel warmer in this some, with | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
temperatures getting up to possibly 20 degrees. Along the south coast | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
it will... for the Isles of Scilly, if you're very misty and the | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
possibility of some fog throughout the day with a southerly winds and | :25:52. | :26:02. | |
:26:02. | :26:38. | ||
18 the top temperature. Times of So, let slip that the outlook. We | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
are a little concerned about the strength of the wins on Sunday, but | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
also on Monday with the winds will be very gusty and there is the | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
likelihood of seeing some sharp showers. Saturday will not be to | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
bat, but blustery showers after the Mian Mian abuse through, and still | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
windy conditions, so for the America's Cup, it will be exciting | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
to watch! Before we go, a reminder that the | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
America's Cup World series begins in Plymouth at the weekend, where | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
some of the world's best sailors will be racing against each other | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
in some of the world's fastest boats. Nine teams from seven | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
countries will be battling it out in Plymouth Sound over the next | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
week. Thousands of spectators will be able to watch the action close | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
up from Plymouth Hoe, for free! Tomorrow, Spotlight will be | :27:25. | :27:27. |
