:00:11. > :00:17.Good evening and welcome to Spotlight. Complaints about the
:00:17. > :00:20.noise as England's largest onshore wind farm prepares to go online.
:00:20. > :00:25.The noise comes straight down the valley and it sounds like a giant
:00:25. > :00:29.cement mixer. It grinds. We'll hear more from North Devon and look at
:00:29. > :00:33.the future of renewable energy. Also tonight. A court appearance
:00:33. > :00:37.after an explosion at a house in Bodmin. A 49 year-old man is

:00:52. > :00:55.Torbay, attracting more skilled workers to South Devon. The Defence
:00:55. > :01:02.Secretary has confirmed the Government's commitment to
:01:02. > :01:05.Devonport naval base. Philip Hammond was making his first
:01:05. > :01:08.Commons appearance in the new job when he gave the assurances to a
:01:08. > :01:10.Plymouth MP. Our political editor, Martyn Oates, joins us now. This
:01:10. > :01:16.follows the resignation of the previous Defence Secretary, Liam
:01:16. > :01:23.Fox? Oliver Colville seized the opportunity to ask Mr Hammond
:01:23. > :01:27.several questions, some of which are easier than others. Can I
:01:27. > :01:31.welcome the new Secretary of State for Defence and urge him to stay
:01:31. > :01:35.there as long as he possibly can because we need to break the cycle
:01:35. > :01:39.of permanently changing secretaries of state. And I thank you for
:01:39. > :01:45.agreeing to come to meet three Commando Brigade when they come
:01:45. > :01:51.back but also, ask at Plymouth will continue to remain at principal
:01:51. > :01:56.naval port in the defence of the country. This is what he said in
:01:56. > :02:01.reply... I am happy to do my best to remain in the post for as long
:02:01. > :02:07.as I can and he might address his plea to my friend, the Prime
:02:07. > :02:12.Minister. It is part of the government policy that Plymouth to
:02:12. > :02:17.remain one of the principal UK naval bases. So the general
:02:17. > :02:21.commitment. But what are the detailed concerns? The next issue
:02:21. > :02:25.is whether Plymouth or Portsmouth will be the base port for the
:02:25. > :02:28.generation of frigates. Realistically, that decision could
:02:28. > :02:34.be years away and following recent changes made by the Coalition, it
:02:34. > :02:38.will be made by the head of the Navy. Rather than ministers. Future
:02:38. > :02:41.secretaries are down to the Prime Minister but he will not want to
:02:41. > :02:50.find himself forced to appointing a new one soon. Thank you very much
:02:50. > :02:53.indeed. A man has appeared in court after an explosion and fire at a
:02:53. > :02:55.house in Bodmin. The property has been almost completely destroyed by
:02:55. > :02:59.the explosion. Today, 49 year-old Glen Heather was charged with arson
:03:00. > :03:03.and recklessly endangering life. Eleanor Parkinson reports. This is
:03:03. > :03:06.a fight that followed the explosion at the house on a housing estate in
:03:06. > :03:10.Boardman. Neighbours had to leave their homes, some of them for the
:03:10. > :03:14.whole night, because of fears of further explosions. By morning
:03:14. > :03:20.there was little left. And fire crews were unable to get into the
:03:20. > :03:25.building for some time because it was judged unsafe. Today, the
:03:25. > :03:29.honour, Glen Heather, appeared before the district judge at Bodmin
:03:29. > :03:33.magistrates court. The court was told that Mr Heather jointly owns a
:03:33. > :03:37.property with his estranged wife. He was charged with arson and
:03:37. > :03:42.recklessly endangering life. He made no plea and was remanded in
:03:42. > :03:46.custody. Mr Heather will appear before Truro Crown Court before the
:03:46. > :03:55.end of the month and a fire investigation team are still at the
:03:55. > :03:58.scene, working to establish how the fire started. A scheme to use local
:03:58. > :04:00.libraries to help cancer patients and their families get all the
:04:00. > :04:03.information they need has been launched in Cornwall. Libraries
:04:03. > :04:06.will be used as a central hub for books and online support. Patients
:04:06. > :04:09.will also be able to review and recommend material they have found
:04:09. > :04:14.useful. The project is being run by the local NHS, Macmillan Cancer
:04:14. > :04:17.Support and Cornwall Council. Cornwall Council has approved plans
:04:17. > :04:20.to build a supermarket on the site of the heliport linking Cornwall to
:04:20. > :04:22.the Isles of Scilly in Penzance. The heliport will relocate to St
:04:22. > :04:29.Erth. British International Helicopters says it will help
:04:29. > :04:32.secure the long-term survival of the service. Torbay's hi-tech
:04:32. > :04:35.industries say they're confident they can provide more jobs in the
:04:35. > :04:38.region. An event has been held in Torquay today aimed at attracting
:04:38. > :04:41.new electronics companies and skilled workers back to the bay. In
:04:41. > :04:46.the past, the closure of companies like Nortel left thousands without
:04:46. > :04:53.jobs. But the companies that sprang up in its wake claim manufacturing
:04:53. > :04:57.is moving away from China and back to places like Paignton. Emma
:04:57. > :05:01.Ruminski reports on how the bay hopes to strengthen one of its more
:05:01. > :05:08.lucrative industries. When Nortel made this man redundant, he set up
:05:08. > :05:12.a new company. He started out in a boat shed and one decade later, it
:05:12. > :05:17.employs 150 staff to manufacture electronics for devices like GPS
:05:17. > :05:23.but tracking and hospital call systems. Many of the old Nortel
:05:23. > :05:28.workers found jobs. They help his firm turnover �17 million each year.
:05:28. > :05:33.This year we have seen a turnaround, more opportunities, certainly a lot
:05:33. > :05:39.of product that we manufacture that would have gone to China and it is
:05:39. > :05:44.coming back to the UK. We are looking to grow to about �30
:05:44. > :05:48.million in the next five years. Thousands used to work in the high-
:05:48. > :05:53.tech industries in Torbay and today's conference hopes to attract
:05:53. > :05:59.new firms and skilled workers back to the region. Amongst the industry
:05:59. > :06:04.itself, they probably do quite well in making themselves known to the
:06:05. > :06:09.wider world but it isn't such a big story for everyone. And it is about
:06:09. > :06:14.time that Torbay put itself on the not. But with so many public sector
:06:14. > :06:19.jobs due to be cut, can the growing hi-tech industry absorb them?
:06:19. > :06:23.in the day, there are probably not quite as many elements of fall-out
:06:23. > :06:27.in the public sector as in other places. But I am convinced that we
:06:27. > :06:31.can grow our employment in hi-tech areas. There were lots of students
:06:31. > :06:35.at the conference hoping to find out what skills they need for a job
:06:35. > :06:40.in the high-tech industries. would like to go into anything
:06:40. > :06:44.automotive. But anything electrical does interest me. I have an
:06:44. > :06:48.apprenticeship, getting paid to learn, what more could you want?
:06:48. > :06:57.The company is one business keeping highly skilled jobs in South Devon
:06:57. > :07:00.but it is hoped even more will return as the industry grows.
:07:00. > :07:02.Penny-pinching befitting of Scrooge himself or prudent moneysaving in
:07:02. > :07:06.tough times? The sharply divided opinions on the threat to the
:07:06. > :07:09.traditional Christmas lights in one of the south west's cities.
:07:09. > :07:14.Exeter's festive show has now been saved after local businesses staged
:07:14. > :07:24.a last-minute rescue. But a row has developed over who should fund the
:07:24. > :07:28.lights in future. Simon Hall reports. The spectacle of the
:07:29. > :07:33.seasonal switch on brings thousands into Exeter. But this year's
:07:33. > :07:37.Christmas lights were threatened after the council withdrew funding.
:07:37. > :07:40.Now they have been saved by two local businesses. Some get so you
:07:40. > :07:47.will put up the lights and South West Communications will underwrite
:07:47. > :07:53.the cost. Things are tough. I don't have too much sympathy for the
:07:53. > :07:58.council because they pay rates and they keep asking when they go. But
:07:58. > :08:02.you cannot put all the blame on them, their matching the funding
:08:02. > :08:05.that has been raised by the private sector and I think that some of
:08:05. > :08:09.those retailers on the High Street will have a conscience this
:08:09. > :08:15.Christmas. In Exeter there was a mix of views on the decision to
:08:15. > :08:19.withdraw funding for the lights. wasn't overly bothered, to be fair.
:08:19. > :08:25.The lights will be nice. But I don't know why all the shops should
:08:25. > :08:29.pay. I suppose they have to make cuts. Perhaps we don't it so many
:08:29. > :08:34.doubts. Perhaps it can be reduced. Disappointing, it is something that
:08:34. > :08:39.everyone looks forward to so they should keep it coming. These are
:08:39. > :08:45.difficult times, challenging times for the public sector, for public
:08:45. > :08:48.finance. When the city council looked at these issues and asked
:08:49. > :08:54.voters and residents, they said it was right to protect frontline
:08:54. > :08:57.public services against festivals and lights. Other high streets have
:08:57. > :09:03.also seen a threat to their Christmas lights. The issue is the
:09:03. > :09:06.old story. Austerity cuts to council budgets. What delights due
:09:06. > :09:10.to be switched on next month, this roe rut -- this row went to the
:09:10. > :09:14.wire. But the council and traders agree that cannot be allowed to
:09:15. > :09:24.happen again. The spectacle is too important for Exeter. Negotiations
:09:25. > :09:25.
:09:25. > :09:27.on funding the Christmas lights for 2012 will be again much sooner.
:09:27. > :09:30.England's largest onshore wind farm will start contributing energy to
:09:30. > :09:33.the national grid within the next two weeks. The company behind
:09:33. > :09:36.Fullabrook Wind Farm, based in North Devon, says it will provide
:09:36. > :09:46.enough power for 30,000 homes. There are 22 turbines on the site,
:09:46. > :09:47.
:09:47. > :09:50.but like all wind farms, it's not been without controversy. Earlier I
:09:50. > :09:53.spoke to Merlin Hyman from Regen South West, the organisation which
:09:53. > :09:56.promotes renewable energy in the region. I asked him what the future
:09:56. > :10:02.holds for large-scale onshore wind farms, bearing in mind how
:10:02. > :10:07.controversial they are. I don't think in this part of the world
:10:07. > :10:12.that we will see very much more in the shape of a large scale onshore
:10:12. > :10:17.wind farms. The resources we have here, the wind resources in Devon
:10:17. > :10:22.and Cornwall, is excellent. But it tends to be in small pockets and
:10:22. > :10:26.what we will see coming forward is smaller groups of turbines, often
:10:26. > :10:31.brought forward by community groups keen to reap the benefits of
:10:31. > :10:34.sustainable energy. The other point that viewers have made is that
:10:34. > :10:39.they're not all of producing electricity. If there is no wind,
:10:39. > :10:44.you will not get electricity? turbines for a very well-proven
:10:44. > :10:50.technology over 20 years. They are deployed successfully across the
:10:50. > :10:53.world so they are an excellent and well proven energy technology. As
:10:54. > :10:58.part of the overall mix of electricity generation. But if he
:10:58. > :11:04.were not expecting any more large- scale development in the south-west,
:11:04. > :11:09.where will the next generation of renewable energy come from? To meet
:11:09. > :11:14.our energy targets and make most use of the resources we have and
:11:14. > :11:19.create local green jobs, we need a range of renewable energy
:11:19. > :11:24.technologies so there is a future for onshore wind and it is very
:11:24. > :11:29.efficient and proven but we would tend to see that in smaller scales.
:11:29. > :11:36.But there are up at -- lots of other technologies, offshore wind,
:11:36. > :11:42.biomass heating has a lot of potential. In replacing oil from on
:11:42. > :11:45.certain parts of the world. And we have power and tidal power. And the
:11:45. > :11:52.Government has said there will be more encouragement for people to
:11:52. > :11:58.invest in things like waves. It has proven difficult to get anyone to
:11:58. > :12:04.plug into this and test it. With this move things forward? We have
:12:04. > :12:08.been coming and the Government for some time. There has to be an equal
:12:08. > :12:14.incentive for companies investing in tidal technology and the rest of
:12:14. > :12:19.the UK as there is in Scotland. This jump in the incentive that the
:12:19. > :12:25.Government will play his answer to vital for the future of the south-
:12:25. > :12:30.west Marine, Energy industry. This is one part of a jigsaw. There will
:12:30. > :12:37.be more to do to help that fledgling industry really take-off
:12:37. > :12:40.but this is an absolutely key step. Thank you very much for joining us.
:12:40. > :12:43.There's poetry on the programme later. The poet laureate has been
:12:43. > :12:47.visiting one of the region's schools. A setback for Jemma
:12:47. > :12:49.Simpson, one of Cornwall's Olympic hopefuls. And the youngsters
:12:49. > :12:59.getting to perform with one of the world's best-known cellists, Julian
:12:59. > :13:00.
:13:00. > :13:02.Lloyd Webber. Businesses in the South West are being encouraged to
:13:02. > :13:05.use social networking sites to connect with customers. As a
:13:05. > :13:08.leading conference on social and digital media takes place in Exeter,
:13:08. > :13:16.some firms in the region are already using the technology in
:13:16. > :13:23.place of traditional advertising. John Danks reports. This is one
:13:23. > :13:28.film guaranteed to make you hungry. One of a series of recipe videos on
:13:28. > :13:35.Youtube, uploaded by at bakery in Lyme Regis. It is the only thing we
:13:35. > :13:41.do. We don't do advertising. People do not trust advertising. They
:13:41. > :13:45.don't trust leaflets. But people trust their friends. Social BDA is
:13:45. > :13:49.really important. The man who made the film was 21 year-old Steven
:13:49. > :13:54.Banks from Dorset. He is at the like mines conference in Exeter to
:13:54. > :13:59.inspire others. It is important to come along because we have already
:13:59. > :14:04.met to people from the business: Exeter who were sent by the
:14:05. > :14:10.University and it is a fantastic breeding-ground for ideas. Great
:14:10. > :14:14.for networking and you get to meet like minds. The event is in its 4th
:14:14. > :14:18.year and takes place at venues across the city. It attracts major
:14:18. > :14:21.players from the technology industry. Organisers say that half
:14:21. > :14:25.a million people have connected to the conference on Twitter over the
:14:25. > :14:30.previous events. And it is social EDF that is enabling South West
:14:30. > :14:35.firms to do business with some of the biggest brands. Local companies,
:14:35. > :14:40.South West based companies, they're working with Nokia, Orange, Ogilvy,
:14:40. > :14:44.big agencies. Local people can get at work and there can collaborate
:14:44. > :14:49.with other local people because in recession it is vital for business
:14:49. > :14:58.to bloom. The conference continues until Friday and as you would
:14:58. > :15:02.expect, there is plenty more information online... Exeter
:15:02. > :15:06.Chiefs's Sandy Park will miss out on becoming one of the venues for
:15:06. > :15:10.the Rugby World Cup. This despite members supporting plans to make
:15:10. > :15:14.the ground the biggest stadium in the south-west. The cheats, in the
:15:14. > :15:18.second season as a Premiership club, one to turn Sandy Park into the
:15:18. > :15:24.20,000 all-seater ground but still not be selected for the next World
:15:24. > :15:31.Cup, staged in England. Even if he managed in four years to increase
:15:31. > :15:37.the capacity to 20,000, it is unlikely. The decision has already
:15:37. > :15:42.been taken to use some football stadiums around the country because
:15:42. > :15:45.they have higher capacities. Cornwall's international middle
:15:45. > :15:48.distance runner, Jemma Simpson, has received a blow ahead of the 2012
:15:48. > :15:51.Olympics. The 27 year-old has been told by UK Athletics that she'll no
:15:51. > :15:57.longer be funded by their world- class performance program for next
:15:58. > :16:03.season. Dave Gibbins is here to talk about the implications. Why
:16:04. > :16:07.has she missed out? Two reasons. She has been blighted by injuries
:16:07. > :16:12.throughout the season. And disappointing performances when it
:16:12. > :16:16.has mattered the most. Her preparation work has been excellent,
:16:16. > :16:20.she is a three-times British champion over 800 metres. But when
:16:20. > :16:25.it comes to big tournaments, major competitions, she has let yourself
:16:25. > :16:29.down. She is appealing the decision to and she has been reacting to the
:16:29. > :16:37.news by talking to BBC Radio Cornwall from her training camp in
:16:37. > :16:40.the USA. I feel that justice and entering the years in my life were
:16:40. > :16:44.and developed enough to start performing, they have dropped it.
:16:45. > :16:48.At the last minute. What do you do? You train all your life for this
:16:48. > :16:51.point to be the pinnacle and then they decide, they take your career
:16:51. > :17:01.into their hands and decide your fate for you. So it is kind of
:17:01. > :17:03.
:17:03. > :17:10.like... It is a blow. Oliver focus has been on 2012, the Olympics. How
:17:10. > :17:16.can she my father? With great difficulty. To rub salt into the
:17:16. > :17:22.wind, her biggest rivals over 800 metres, the British Girls' Jenny
:17:22. > :17:26.Meadows and Marilyn O'Connell, have been funded by UK Athletics. We
:17:26. > :17:31.know that individuals as well as big sporting clubs take money to
:17:31. > :17:36.achieve success. However, to kick- start this, it could kick-start
:17:36. > :17:42.Gemma into proving UK Athletics wrong. We wait to see. We were sure
:17:42. > :17:45.the best. Thank you very much indeed. In this age of texting and
:17:45. > :17:49.tweeting, is there any room left for poetry? According to the poet
:17:49. > :17:52.laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, the answer is a resounding yes. The
:17:52. > :17:59.famous writer has been at a local school today to spread the word.
:17:59. > :18:04.Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby was there. For poetry lovers at the King's
:18:04. > :18:09.School in Ottery Saint Mary, this was like a royal visit. I love you
:18:09. > :18:13.writing so much. Carol Ann Duffy is two-and-a-half years into her ten-
:18:13. > :18:19.year stint as poet Laureate. Her work is now studied as part of the
:18:19. > :18:23.curriculum. I would not be a poet if I had not had fantastic English
:18:23. > :18:28.teachers and engage with poetry from a young age. Along with many
:18:28. > :18:32.other poets in this country, I am passionate about going into schools
:18:32. > :18:36.and reading poems and meeting young students. As well as signing copies
:18:36. > :18:46.of her books, Carol Ann Duffy performed some of her work with the
:18:46. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :18:57.help of musician, John Samson. APPLAUSE. The visit was organised
:18:57. > :19:02.for the school librarians in this National Poetry Month. It is
:19:02. > :19:09.probably the least understood of the English literature forms that
:19:09. > :19:13.students learn and yet it is so important and it is an opportunity
:19:13. > :19:18.to get children and young people to engage with the written word in a
:19:19. > :19:27.way that is really very special. The rain and snow and fog or
:19:27. > :19:31.something like it. A man on a coal- black course came riding. Fantastic.
:19:31. > :19:34.The new study something a school you are inspired to go out and read
:19:34. > :19:40.more. And then to make that person who has inspired you to look for
:19:40. > :19:45.more literature, it is such a fantastic feeling. When you have
:19:45. > :19:55.studies someone and so much depth, then you get to meet them and
:19:55. > :20:00.
:20:00. > :20:05.actually talk to her, it is really exciting. I love it. I enter
:20:06. > :20:10.competitions so it's a real inspiration. You can just go along.
:20:10. > :20:14.I love rating. Her poems are just so inspirational and so different
:20:14. > :20:22.to anything else I have read. According to Carol Ann Duffy, this
:20:22. > :20:27.is the century for poetry. Poetry says more about a society that is
:20:27. > :20:32.in a hurry and used to using texts and tweeting. The porn is the
:20:32. > :20:42.perfect literary form for our times. -- pawn. The mission is to inspire
:20:42. > :20:42.
:20:42. > :20:47.a passion for poetry. It might just have worked. This is a cultural
:20:48. > :20:50.section of the programme. From poetry to music. 50 talented young
:20:50. > :20:52.musicians from the South West are tonight performing with world-
:20:53. > :20:55.famous cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. The teenagers are playing alongside
:20:56. > :21:02.a professional orchestra at Exeter Cathedral as part of the Two Moors
:21:02. > :21:08.Festival. Johnny Rutherford went along to the rehearsal. Beautiful
:21:08. > :21:13.location for beautiful music. Elgar's cello concerto played by 50
:21:13. > :21:21.schoolchildren amongst professionals, led by Julian Lloyd
:21:21. > :21:26.Webber. It is a fantastic idea. It really brings music all over Devon.
:21:26. > :21:31.It is good for the area. concert is unique, like all 30
:21:31. > :21:37.musical events held across the festival. This one is a dream maker
:21:37. > :21:40.for the young students. I am very nervous. It means the world to me.
:21:40. > :21:45.I have always dreamed of an opportunity like this, to play with
:21:45. > :21:50.someone as good as Julian Lloyd Webber. Having to perform it at
:21:50. > :21:57.high level, with professional musicians. Because I want to go
:21:58. > :22:03.into this as a career. I want to be professional. Doing it at this age
:22:03. > :22:07.is great. The idea of the festival is to take music to various
:22:07. > :22:11.locations across the murders but also to enthuse young people with
:22:11. > :22:16.classical music. At this time, particularly, it is hugely
:22:16. > :22:20.important for people to have music in their lives. It should be a
:22:20. > :22:25.birthright. Music is a tremendous thing for bringing people together.
:22:25. > :22:30.Especially working in the orchestra, hearing children work at something
:22:31. > :22:34.that is basically bigger than them individually and trying... It is a
:22:34. > :22:39.fantastic building block for teamwork. Unfortunately, the
:22:39. > :22:49.concert is only on this evening at 7:30pm but those in the area, there
:22:49. > :22:52.
:22:52. > :23:02.are some tickets left... Sounding good. Time for the weather. It was
:23:02. > :23:06.a chilly night last night. Not so The temperatures will be higher. We
:23:06. > :23:15.had some fairly low temperatures last night, the lowest was that he
:23:15. > :23:20.Overton, down to freezing, Exeter's three degrees... Tonight, it will
:23:20. > :23:25.not be quite so cold. There is more cloud coming in. We had a good
:23:25. > :23:31.start today. And some sunshine. This was area. We did have some
:23:31. > :23:34.sunshine. And some mist in the valley. We did have some cloud
:23:34. > :23:39.coming in through the morning, spoiling things a little. If you
:23:39. > :23:45.were up early, you would have caught the sunshine. And at this
:23:45. > :23:49.time of year with those early temperatures, it has not really
:23:49. > :23:57.lifted that cold feeling. 13 degrees. These were filmed by
:23:58. > :24:01.Stephen. Some excellent pictures. Let's look at the details. Lots of
:24:01. > :24:05.cloud and the satellite. Coming from the north-west. As we move
:24:05. > :24:10.through the next two days. We have a battle going on, the high
:24:10. > :24:14.pressure with cold weather across the south. That moves steadily
:24:14. > :24:22.eastwards. At the same time, low pressure developing in the middle
:24:22. > :24:28.of the Atlantic. And as those ripples develop across the weather
:24:28. > :24:30.system, the isobars get tighter. This is lunchtime on Saturday. With
:24:30. > :24:35.that weather fronts to the West. That could bring persistent rain as
:24:35. > :24:40.we move into Sunday. This is the feature making it very windy. This
:24:40. > :24:47.low pressure. Banging into the back of the weather system, forcing this
:24:47. > :24:53.front across us. Bringing wind and rain. Saturday is a better day. We
:24:53. > :24:59.have all this cloud coming in. There would be many holes. It is
:24:59. > :25:03.extensive. Overnight, son spots of rain. That is beginning to appear.
:25:03. > :25:08.For the rest of us, some places might get single figures, the
:25:08. > :25:14.further west, the milder. More of a breeze developing in the second
:25:14. > :25:19.half and some shallow missed developing. Here, the lowest
:25:19. > :25:24.temperature, six or seven degrees. For the rest of us, anything up to
:25:24. > :25:29.10 degrees. Through the day tomorrow, it will become cloudy but
:25:29. > :25:33.sunny spells developing through the day. Most likely across parts of
:25:34. > :25:39.north and east Devon as well as across Somerset. The further west,
:25:39. > :25:43.particularly Cornwall, it will stay cloudy. Although that does stay dry
:25:43. > :25:46.and the cloud and more of a breeze will hold temperatures up tonight
:25:46. > :25:53.and with somebody went, they will rise by one degree tomorrow.
:25:53. > :25:57.Possibly as high as 15 degrees for the afternoon. Also becoming breezy.
:25:57. > :26:07.Especially further west. Quite a breeze across the Isles of Scilly.
:26:07. > :26:13.
:26:13. > :26:20.And the odd spot of drizzle. The And for the surfing... It is clean.
:26:20. > :26:26.Three feet. The South Coast becoming choppy. The coastal waters
:26:26. > :26:34.forecasts... That wind is south- westerly. But increasing by late
:26:34. > :26:38.afternoon. Possibly six into the evening. And the weekend. On
:26:38. > :26:42.Saturday, a lot of cloud, somebody and South East Today went. The risk
:26:42. > :26:48.of patchy rain in the far west. But the more persistent rain on Sunday.
:26:48. > :26:52.Not only wet, it could be very windy with gale-force wind from the
:26:52. > :27:01.south and south-east. And that rain stays with us into Monday. Up to 17
:27:01. > :27:04.degrees on Sunday so milder into the weekend. Thank you. Before we
