The �400,000 fuel bill - the haulier furious with government | :00:08. | :00:18. | |
plans to increase the duty further. I don't really know where it is | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
going to end. I do not see where they are trying to row because they | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
just keep pushing it up. Why do not see what they are going to gain out | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
of bed. Good evening. Some of our local MPs | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
have joined a backlash against the Government. We will have the latest. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Also tonight... On a cliff edge - the homeowners calling for urgent | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
action to save their properties. Looking at the rate of erosion it | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
can be in the next 20 years. This could be in the ocean. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
And surf's up and the "ruffer" the better for this salty seadog. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The owner of a small haulage company in Devon says he's furious | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
at continuing fuel rises that now mean half of all his costs go on | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
fuel. Julian Webber from Okehampton says his diesel bill has risen to | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
�400,000 a year. Today, MPs have been debating the rising cost of | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
fuel in response to an online petition signed by more than | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
100,000 people. Four South West MPs have joined calls for the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
government to do more to bring fuel prices down. In a moment we will | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
hear from our political editor but first, this report. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
Next time you curse when you fill up your car, think of Julian Webber | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
from Okehampton. His fuel bill for his haulage company is �8,000 a | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
:01:44. | :01:45. | ||
week, �400,000 a year. I fun -- I run articulated lorries. We are | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
always running at maximum wait. It is usually about 4.5 miles to the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
gallant ranging to 7.5 miles to the gallon, for the ones off to South | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
Wales. Julian says over the past few years fuel prices have gone up | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
by 40%. He said, that means half of his running costs go on fuel. He | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
says he is even considering jacking it in. I used to really enjoy this | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
but now, it is just harder and harder. It has crossed my mind. I | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
have talked to my wife about it. I never thought I would say it. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
went to Penzance to meet Martin Smith. He used to work as a night | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
porter. Every time he went to work, the 80 miles to cost 10 �11. He had | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
to give it up. I wanted to work and I enjoyed the job and enjoyed the | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
journey. The situation was that it put 5,000 miles on the car in four | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
months and the cost of fuel was getting to a situation that I could | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
not do it. Some environmental campaigners argue high fuel tax is | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
a good thing as it discourages car use. This happened here at the Post | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
Office. We have actually stopped driving into Penzance because it is | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
not worth the cost. We pay an average of an extra �5, maybe even | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
�15 surcharge on deliveries that we get. Everywhere you turn, rising | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
fuel prices are having a massive impact on our lives. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Our political editor has been watching the debate today. A lot of | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Conservative MPs signed a motion criticising the government? | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Slightly reminiscent of the rebellion over Europe a few weeks | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
ago with similar numbers of MPs. This is a much less a serious | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
challenge to the government. What we have ended up with is quite a | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
polite request to the government to look at more to keep prices down. | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
The petition was making much more radical demands. Cutting the | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
planned duty increases next year and putting pressure on oil | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
companies to hand down cheaper oil prices. The Conservative MPs in the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
house that they have been echoing the government and saying, if we | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
start with the fuel escalator, it would be even higher. They are | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
probably saying, we would not have increase VAT, which has driven | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
prices up further. How is the government responding? Unlike the | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
European referendum debate, there are no attempt to force MPs into | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
the government line. The government pointed out in a different beat | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
inflation only increase until next year but they make no bones by the | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
fact -- about the fact that fuel duty is an important source of | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
revenue at a time when they need money badly. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
In another political story today, the Conservative MP for West Dorset | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
has been told he must ensure that he keeps personal information | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
secure or face formal enforcement action by the Information | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Commissioner. Oliver Letwin was forced to apologise after a tabloid | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
newspaper photographed him throwing away documents in a park bin. | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
He had earlier been cleared of throwing away classified documents | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
but has been found to have breached data protection law might? He threw | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
away sensitive personal data, including information relating to a | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
constituent. He had had -- has had to sign a document promising not to | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
do it again. I have apologised to my constituents and undertaken to | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
make sure things are securely disposed of in future. | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
concerned were you that you acted illegally? The Information | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
Commissioner required that I signed an undertaking had I have done so. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
He has got very number say, as you can see. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
The owners of a butcher's shop in Dorset, which is the oldest family | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
owned business in the county, say customers are changing their | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
spending habits as inflation continues to erode people's | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
spending power. Although the rate has fallen slightly today, it is | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
still higher than the rise in most people's wages. As Hamish Marshall | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
reports, customers are opting for cheaper cuts of meat and making | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:32. | ||
fewer shopping journeys. They have lost count of how many of | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
their ancestors have run this, the oldest family business in Britain | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
since it began in Bridport in 1535. The price of meat has risen since | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
then, but especially in the last 12 months, when the cost of everything | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
has gone up. People are going for a cheaper cuts of meat. We have got | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
lots of them good value things like faggots and sausages are not | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
expensive for the amount of goodness in them. Times are | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
especially tough for people whose pension rises are not keeping pace. | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
Electric and fuel, that is what is doing it. The groceries and the | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
meat has gone up, everything, electric, water, everything. | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
have less money than we did this time last year. That means it is | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
difficult not just for us but for the people trying to sell us Brits. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
They are having to come up with new ways to get us through the door. | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
For many traders who are already on a tight margin, every customer is | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
crucial, as people make tough decisions. If I am looking at | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
things in a shop I will look at the prices rather than just pick it up. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
I look for cheaper brands now. can buy cheaper stuff and look out | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
for special offers and by less. Less waste, but also, you are not | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
getting the expensive things. one knows whether today's slight | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
:08:20. | :08:23. | ||
drop in inflation is a turning point. Residents were having to | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
find out if a scheme will be approved to protect their | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
properties. The council has decided to look at | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
different options to solve the problem. | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
It is not hard to work out where these gardens above these cliffs | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
will end up. The Jurassic Coast line regularly crumbles into the | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
sea. The owners of these houses accept that. It is the rate of | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
erosion that they think is a man- made programme -- problem. It is | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
not natural. We have Rock Island. They are causing unnatural erosion. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Three or four metres a year is not uncommon recently. The tree behind | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
me is probably the next one to go. There is a large fault line opening | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
around it. There was one for years or so beyond it, almost as big, but | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
ended up on the beach. I am worried about people being killed. Not | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
necessarily falling over the cliff, but people in the summer that lie | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
on the beach. There are signs on the beach might you could be killed | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
by falling rocks, but people largely ignore them. The home | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
owners in the area around a Cliff Road have spent thousands of pounds | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
putting together a planning application. They wanted to pilot | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
boulders at the bottom of the cliffs to stop the waves pounding | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
them. They have withdrawn the application as the council said | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
they are willing to discuss a solution with all concerned. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Everybody in Sidmouth and the local area has got a stake in this to | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
preserve what is here. The planning committee was poised to reject the | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
application because this area is designated as a World Heritage Site. | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
:10:22. | :10:33. | ||
In a statement, macho England East Devon district council says it | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
will get all interested parties together to find an outcome in the | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
best interests of Sidmouth overall. South West conservationists say | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
they are dismayed the government is to delay the introduction of a | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
network of marine conservation zones. DEFRA has told Spotlight | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
there is good initial evidence for between 20 and 30 sites around the | :10:54. | :11:03. | |
country, but it still wants to gather further information. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
The South West's spectacular marine habitats have been a battleground | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
between conservationists and fishermen over the last few years. | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
A consultation exercise, conducted the by a group called Finding | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Century, asked people how best to protect our seas. They suggested | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
eight network of marine conservation zones and special | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
conservation zones. The government says even more robust evidence is | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
needed. It is so vital that we get this right and that we are not | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
going to do something that can be challenged in court or a can | :11:42. | :11:52. | |
adversely affect people in the south-west. Any delay to the | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
creation of a network of marine conservation zones is frustrating | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
for local Wildlife trusts, who have campaigned for more controls at sea. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
What the government is saying is, you have given as these | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
recommendations, but we want to take more time to gather more | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
evidence. They have not said what evidence or how much. At the end of | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
the day we will not know whether a single site gets conserved. South | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
West fishermen have welcomed the announcement. The designation of | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
areas has to be based on science. The fishing industry has been | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
operating for the past 100 or more years round here and the marine | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
environment is notably the best in Europe. We must be doing something | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
responsible. The RSPB says it is concerned only a fraction of the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
original sites will go forward for initial designation but the | :12:45. | :12:55. | |
government says it is committed to You're watching Spotlight from the | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
BBC. Thank you for joining us, coming up later: | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Where does the money you raise for Children in Need go? We meet the | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
mothers and babies being given a better chance in life. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
And already on course to raise thousands, the Royal Marines on | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Mission Commando. For people suffering from kidney | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
failure, the procedure of dialysis can be time consuming and tough | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
going. But for almost 200 patients a new purpose-built dialysis unit | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
is going to make a real difference to their lives. The unit, which has | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
been moved out of Derriford Hospital, has cost �1.5 million and | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
is four times bigger. Spotlight's Amy Cole, has been to meet some of | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
the people who are already benefiting. | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
Every week, three times a week, this woman has dialysis. It has | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
been her way of play for over four years. Recently, a life has | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
improved due to a recent, purposely built unit. There is a sense of | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
camaraderie here, as he is surrounded by the patients, many of | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
whom have become our friends, all have been going through the same | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
thing. I prefer this unit to the ones I used to go to, because the | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
other ones I used to go to were individual units. This one is one | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Holbeck one and you see everything that is going on and I love it. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
They make it so comfortable that it does not take long to do what we | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
have to do. The time goes so quickly. These patients no longer | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
have to go to the hospital for treatment. It has taken a will for | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
plummet to offer what Exeter has had for some time. Up until this | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
point, Plymouth was the only unit in the said West not providing | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
would become a satellite dialysis service. Our trust was very | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
receptive to the idea and I think it promotes the concept of a | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
patient centred service. More than 180 kidney failure patients will | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
access the unit every year. For each person, this service is a | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
:15:18. | :15:18. | ||
lifeline. I am 78. There are a lot of people a lot younger than me | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
than are will stop I do not have that opportunity, because my heart | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
will not take it. So dialysis it is. With a generous amount of gratitude | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
and optimism. Only three days to go until | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
Children in Need 2011, and all this week we are looking at how the | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
money you raise makes a difference to the lives of underprivileged | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
children in the region. North Devon is one of the largest and most | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
deprived rural areas in the UK with high unemployment and low average | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
earnings, spanning generations. Wings South West is helping young | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
people to break that cycle and improve their prospects. Kerry is | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
one of the project leaders working with Astrid, Jamie and Zoe. This is | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
:16:10. | :16:13. | ||
I did not have a very good start to life, I did not start -- finish | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
school. It did not have any qualifications. I think there is a | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
huge need in this at because it is deprived. There is a high at -- | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
percentage of young people with no aspirations. It is almost as if | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
they want to give up. It is very tough for them. There are no jobs. | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
That is the other a hard part of it, no jobs that young people can step | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
into. The do mathematics and English and the give us an | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
opportunity to get some GCSEs. It made you feel good. I am achieving | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
something, I am doing something, not just sitting around at home | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
watching television. I think it is such a shame that they are getting | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
the benefits and it is sad because I feel that a lot of the parents | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
that I work with have a lot to offer to society. This place makes | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
a difference because my child learns how to play with other | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
children his age. We have only been coming a couple of weeks and I have | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
seen a big difference in him a lightly. He is starting to | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
understand that he needs to share things and he he is not fighting. | :17:32. | :17:42. | |
:17:42. | :17:45. | ||
He has learned a lot since we have I want to be a good role model for | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
him. Hopefully he will learn in school. I want him to be a good | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
child and go to school and do well. I am a single mother. I have hardly | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
any qualifications. That I can achieve what I want to achieve, | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
then he will learn that no matter what is thrown in his way in life, | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
then he could possibly call it there and achieved what he can. -- | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
goal out there. It makes us and for that people give us this | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
opportunity because they know that money is short in this climate so | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
it is nice that it is still funded and still available for everybody. | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
I would like to say to people to dig deep so that a lot of other | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
groups and a lot of other children have the same opportunity that we | :18:35. | :18:45. | |
:18:45. | :18:47. | ||
Every penny you raise goes to Children in Need. On the night, I'm | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
at the Eden project in Cornwall for this year's Party for Pudsey, where | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
there will be live music, ice skating and a lantern parade. Entry | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
to the site is free from 6pm. We hope to see lots of you there. | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
And, of course, the fundraising has already started. Today, six | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
commandos have set themselves a physical challenge that's never | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
been done before. The team of five Royal Marines and one Army Commando | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
will set out to complete four commando tests, normally done over | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
seven days, in just 24 hours. They hope to raise more than �10,000 for | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
charities including Children In Need. Our defence reporter Scott | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
:19:33. | :19:37. | ||
Bingham went to see them set off. Final preparations. It is so well | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
for! Every royal marine must pass these four Tests before he can earn | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
his green beret. They are tough enough as it stands, but that is | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
not really challenging enough for these guys. Normally you do want | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
yesterday over seven days, with a gap between before you do the 30 | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
mile. We're going to do it in 24 hours. It has never been done | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
before, has it? Know. Confident? Yes. They will carry more than �30 | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
of debt. The men, all instructors, will aim to do two circuit in under | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
30 minutes. It seems that they have every right to be confident. | :20:26. | :20:35. | |
that 11 minutes? That was good. First London, three more to goal. | :20:35. | :20:44. | |
Nice and easy, try and refuel as the goal, debt or cells ready. -- | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
get ourselves ready. We next catch up with him for 0.5 miles away on | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
the infamous endurance course. 72 minutes to go round their two-mile | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
route peppered with obstacles, including the notorious sheep dip. | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
Just 4.5 miles now, back to the base then followed by a nine-mile | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
speed march tonight and a 30 mile route march tomorrow. They should | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
be well into that speed march by now, but the toughest test comes | :21:14. | :21:24. | |
:21:24. | :21:25. | ||
tomorrow. We will catch up with them again then. | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
A 2-year-old Labrador from Cornwall and her owner are attracting | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
attention after a film of the dog was posted on the internet. Mango | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
does all the usual doggy things, such as fetching a ball, but she | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
also enjoys catching a wave. So far, more than 3,000 people have | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
watched dog and owner riding the waves near Newquay. David George | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
:21:55. | :21:56. | ||
has been to see them. Mango's video starts gently not | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
what a bit of body boarding in a rock pool. Easy when she gets the | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
hang of it. Later in the film, they get into the big surf. The waves | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
are looking good. Mangle is a working labrador, and as on the | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
been surfing essence of the spring. It all started when she fought her | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
owners into the sea. We both paddled out and we turned around | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
and the dog had followed us. She seemed pretty happy. I put her on a | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
board and she wrote back in. From that point, I realised we had a | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
surfing dog. But the surfing dog was not doing any interviews today, | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
so can we be sure that this is not all made up? In the interests of | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
accurate reporting double be challenged dog and owner to hit the | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
waves in front of a BBC Spotlight camera, to see she can really do it. | :22:55. | :23:04. | |
She waits, that is what she does. All, yes. She can really do it. | :23:04. | :23:13. | |
Well done. It was good then. -- good fun. It is not perfect | :23:13. | :23:23. | |
:23:23. | :23:39. | ||
We have had some fine weather today. We have even had some sunshine. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
Unfortunately, things are changing for tomorrow. It will be cloudy | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
with some patchy rain. Earlier today, there was plenty of fine | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
weather around. We start with Dartmoor and a cameraman was up on | :23:55. | :24:05. | |
:24:05. | :24:08. | ||
the moor. Some very pleasant conditions and it is nice to see | :24:08. | :24:16. | |
the sunshine again after a cloudy day yesterday. Another camera man | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
was enjoying some quieter weather, a gentle breeze and some sunshine. | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
Lovely weather today and the temperatures have been healthy. We | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
have a lot of cloud coming in from the Atlantic in the next 24 hours. | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
It is this stripe of cloud here that will come in. It will be slow | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
moving and the reason for that is that we still have that EDL of high | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
pressure over Norway, which is just holding things in the Atlantic at | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
the moment. It will weaken over the next 24 hours. By the time getting | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
thirsty, that will have moved away, but I knew ADL of low pressure | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
leads to further and pigs have been towards the end of the day on | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Friday. Even that at the moment is a little uncertain, because the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
high pressure is there, just a little bit weaker to the east of | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
the British Isles. Overnight tonight, are still some holes in | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
that weather, but that Clyde will rapidly return overnight, to give | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
us cloudy conditions by the end of the night. Some clear skies to | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
allow a few of the stars, then later it will cloud over. It will | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
turn misty on the high ground also. Temperatures down to as low a seven | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
or eight Celsius. It will start to warm up as the Clyde. It arrives. | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
If there is any Britons it will tomorrow, it will be in eastern | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
parts of Dorset and Somerset, because we'll see some patchy rain | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
come in. By the end of the afternoon into the early evening it | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
will be across a good part of Devon. Perhaps some of that rain will | :25:58. | :26:08. | |
arrive in Somerset and Dorset as well. For the Isles of Scilly, | :26:08. | :26:18. | |
:26:18. | :26:35. | ||
expect that rain to be in quite a For all those sufferers, -- | :26:35. | :26:45. | |
:26:45. | :26:50. | ||
surfers: first there is the marine forecast. | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
That brings us to Thursday's forecast. Expect to see a bright, | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
dry day after some early rain clears out of the way. For good | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
part of the day it will be dry on Friday, but was leaving for | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Children In Need, there is a possibility of showers, especially | :27:06. | :27:15. | |
late in the evening. It will be Just before we go, we want to | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
remind you that tomorrow, 700 servicemen and women from Task | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
Force Helmand will parade through Exeter and then attend a service of | :27:21. | :27:24. |
