And the ear infection which proved fatal. The father who died just | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
days after being sent home from an NHS droppings and. Good evening. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Following the death of Rikki Baker, a coroner has asked for a review of | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
policies of -- at the hospital. Education, rubbish, benefits and | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
travel, the some of the many services which could grind to a | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
halt with planned strike action of a pencil -- over pensions. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
The realities of living on the street. Calls for action in Newquay | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
following the deaths of three rough sleepers in three weeks. You try to | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
survive. You take every day as it gets you. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
A coroner has called for a review of procedures at an they'd just | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
drop-in centre after a young father was sent home with a deadly | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
infection -- and NHS dropping cent. Rikki Baker's family told an | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
inquest he was so well when they took him and to the centre he could | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
not walk properly. He was told to take painkillers but later died | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
when an ear infection spread to his brain. Chris Lyddon was at the | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
inquest. Rikki Baker was a loving husband | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
and father of two young boys. He had a phobia of hospitals. But | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
after suffering for days with a painful ear infection his family | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
took him to accident and emergency at the Royal Devon and Exeter | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
Hospital. Hoping to see a doctor. Instead a receptionist was no | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
medical training referred him to an NHS drop-in centre in the same | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
building. Wariness examined him, sent him home with eardrops and | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
told him to take painkillers -- a nurse. A nurse, seen here on the | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
right, told the inquest that she had seen hundreds of patients with | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
the infections and the medication she issued should have cleared the | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
infection. Despite calls to NHS Direct and Devon doctors, the | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
family were told to continue with Rikki's medication but he became | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
progressively worse. In two days he lapsed in and out of consciousness | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
and suffered a seizure and then collapsed. He was taken to hospital | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
and died four days later. The Royal Devon and Exeter is already | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
reviewing patient referral procedures at accident and | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
emergency, but recording a narrative verdict the coroner | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
called for a separate review oneself to prevent what he called a | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
similar incident happening again. But he said this was not an | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
indication of full tour blame. anything positive is to come from | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
the death of Rikki list -- it is that lessons are learned from what | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
happened and hopefully this will be prevented from happening again that | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
in the future. The family is pursuing legal action over Rikki's | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
care. They were told tonight that the hospital would have 56 days to | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
respond to the coroner's call for a review of protocol. | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Dozens of South West schools are expected to be closed next week | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
when public sector workers staged a one-day strike. Councils and | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
hospitals are also warning of disruption to services during the | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
walkout at the changes to pensions. Out correspondent Simon Hall has | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
been assessing the likely impact and speaking to some of those | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
involved. For Tamika and her friend, | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Wednesday brings the pleasure of a day of school. For mum Stacey, it | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
brings her birthday but also a concern. They will miss out on a | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
day of education and they miss out in this weather already with colds | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
and coughs. St David's Primary School is one of dozens in the | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
region closing because of the public sector strike. I know that | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
the teachers need to do something, obviously, but it is difficult for | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
a lot of people. I think the cause is at just one and I'm fully | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
supportive of those in the public sector. A range of public sector | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
services will be disrupted and the Union's day of action. Rubbish | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
collections and hospital appointments are expected to be | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
cancelled. Courts, housing and benefit payments disrupted as well. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
We will focus on those jobs that are more important, so the staff we | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
have, we will looking at the staff that are coming in and making sure | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
that they concentrate on the most important and most urgent jobs. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Wednesday there will be a series of union rallies across the region | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
including here that Exeter Cathedral, also Dorchester, Taunton, | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
Torquay, Plymouth and Truro. They do see what the private sector make | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
of these public sector strikes, we have crossed the road from the | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
cathedral and visited Exeter farmers' market. Vic Sawdye is the | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
return -- is a retired farmer but stills runs a business and is not | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
impressed by the strike. It I think it is disgusting, personally. It is | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
not teaching the young people of this country what to do in life if | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
they want to get back and button- down and get on and do some work. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
But the regional organiser of the biggest public sector union told me | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
to government's reform of pensions would make them unaffordable for | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
some workers. Our members want to be responsible. They want to save | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
towards their old age so they are not dependent on welfare and they | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
want to be able to continue to manage their family budgets and | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
really they have been left with such an awful choice to make that | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
it is not fair on them. The unions expect Wednesday to be the biggest | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
strike since the "Winter of Discontent" but the government say | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
current public sector pensions are unaffordable and must be reformed. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Ministers have told the BBC there will be no further concessions on | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
pensions because of the urgent need to reduce the budget deficit. The | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
unions appear in no mood to back down. Wednesday's strike action may | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
then be just the beginning. The our political editor Martyn | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Oates has been following the story and joins me. Is there any | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
likelihood of Wednesday's strike being called off? That has looked | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
very unlikely for months now and even more so at the moment. The | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
government did make some concessions recently and they have | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
told the unions that is as good as it gets and that deal might be | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
removed if it is not taken up. But that has still left the basic | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
requirement for people in public sector pension schemes to pay more | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
in contributions and to work for longer. As we heard in the report, | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
people affected feel very strongly about it but beyond that there is a | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
fundamental disagreement as to whether the government really needs | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
to do this. The government says the present system is unsustainable. | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
The unions' point to the teachers' pension scheme and sake just a few | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
years ago the National Audit Office gave it a clean bill of health and | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
say it was sustainable and they also accuse the government of | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
making public sector workers' pay with their pensions for the mess | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
the banks have got the financial system into. It seems the | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
government is hardening its stance was the unions. Yes, ministers are | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
condemning the would be strike in no uncertain terms and saying that | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
strike action next Wednesday could cost the economy up to �500 million. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
The TUC 80 days -- the TUC today say that his fantasy economics. The | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Conservative and Lib Dems in government are on the front line | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
but Ed Miliband is in a difficult position because if the | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Conservatives keep pointing out, he has the Labour leadership largely | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
to the unions. Labour relies heavily on the unions for finance. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
When there was industrial action in June he condemned the unions at the | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
last minute and he is neither condemning or supporting at the | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
moment but says -- but saying both sides need to give some ground. | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
Council tax payers in Cornwall may have to pay millions of pounds more | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
for the proposed incinerator that St Dennis of the European | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Investment Bank withdraws funding next month. The bank has stuck with | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
a project for the last five years but after lengthy planning delays | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
and continuing appeals and the courts, a loan of �80 million is up | :08:02. | :08:12. | |
:08:12. | :08:13. | ||
for review. Adrian Campbell reports. The company wants to build this | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
energy waste incinerator at St Dennis with the help of an �80 | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
million loan from the European Investment Bank. But has been in | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
place for five years but there have been delays with planning disputes | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
and the Bank wants to review its loan by the end of December. The | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
company has said if the bank does withdraw its loan to end the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
current state of the financial markets means they could be an | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
extra cost to the council and its tax payers �23 million over the | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
life of the contract. The last time local environmental campaigners won | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
a victory in the High Court the bells were rung him at the church | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
in St Dennis. Since then the Secretary of State has appealed | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
that decision in the courts but the crucial question now is how long | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
will the money be available from the European Investment Bank. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
hope that the European Investment Bank actually pulls the plug on | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
this �80 million and forces Cornwall Council and the company to | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
go back to the drawing board. I have always been clear that | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
incineration is not the right answer for the problems of waste in | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Cornwall. St Dennis is not the right place and one single site to | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
serve off Cornwall's waste is not the right solution in principle. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Cornwall council says it hopes the European Investment Bank will | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
continue to offer that lone despite the delays. The company says of the | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
incinerator does not go ahead it could be eight years before an | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
alternative is in place but others think that is debatable. I have had | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
people say to me, people who want to exaggerate one way say ten years, | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
I have had people who say they are optimistic and it will take three | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
or four years. It depends how quickly the Government brings | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
forward new strategic processes. People living close to St Dennis, | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
who have campaigned against an Energy from Waste Land, hope things | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
are moving their way. As I see it now the Court of Appeal will have a | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
job to take place before Christmas and we are very near the end of | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
2011 when the European Investment Bank has to make a decision. | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
within five weeks it should become clear if the energy from waste | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
plant will keep the promised loan from the European Investment Bank. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
There are calls for a night shelter in Newquay, after three rough least | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
has died in the town in the last three weeks. -- sleepers. Charity | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
and church workers believe eight people have died in the resort in | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
the last year. They say a night shelter would help save lives. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
David George has been to one of Newquay's soup kitchens. | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
This is the public image of Newquay, sun, sea and sand, people on the | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
beach enjoying a holiday. But there is a very different town. Three | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
weeks ago a 40-year-old rough sleeper was found close to the | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
beach by his also homeless friend. I found him up against a wall, | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
shaking and shivering and everything else. He started walking | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
and then collapsed, so I ended up putting him on the floor, took my | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
coat off, put it on top of him. man died of pneumonia. A 21-year- | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
old woman and 27-year-old man have also been found dead in the last | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
three weeks. People are struggling, you know. There is nowhere for them | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
to go at night time Wedge -- which is when they need accommodation. If | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
it is freezing cold or wet, they are in wet clothes, they have been | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
beaten up, they are being picked on, robbed. Then they are in a downward | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
spiral. This is one of Newquay's two church soup kitchens. Here, | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
homeless people and others can get a hot meal. Today, it is Super and | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
half a pasty. Shame Raymond has lived on the streets for ten years. | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
For him, it started with a drink problem. On those wet, dark, windy | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
nights, when most of us are glad to be indoors, how do cope? I just | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
find somewhere that is very sheltered come a wrap myself up and | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
that is the end of it. I go to sleep. Organisers here say a night | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
shelter in the town would help to save lives. If there is a person in | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
difficulty on the streets and in danger health wise, he could get | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
off the street for the night and come into somewhere warm and baby | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
move him on in the daytime so there is a bed that somebody can get warm, | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
get out of the weather -- maybe move him on in the daytime. Today, | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
more than 30 people were given food at the soup kitchen. Tonight, many | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
of them will once again be sleeping on the streets. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Coming up next, a plea to thieves who have stolen a baby up -- baby | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
alpaca and later, cooking up a storm. By some of the country's | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
best-known chefs are setting up business here. And it has taken | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
thousands of dried flowers and hundreds of hours of work. We will | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
show you what it hears, later in the programme. | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
A family from Cornwall are appealing for thieves for dashed | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
are appealing to thieves to return a baby alpaca which was stolen from | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
fields. They say the baby cannot survive without its mother. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Taylan Brewer helps his father feed their alpacas. He knows them all | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
individually. He has given most of them names. The youngest member of | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
the herd is missing. The nine-week- old female baby. Thieves broke into | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
the field and still have. You can see where someone must have | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
attacked the animal had got it down, they must have lost it and up in | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
this top corner they must have committed to gain, probably bad | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
debt and got it back out of the same part of the hedge they came | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
from. Alpacas are usually very timid and difficult to catch. It is | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
believed the thieves picked on this one because she was the youngest, | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
smallest and the most friendly. This is the baby alpaca at just | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
three days old and nine weeks on she still is not weaned from her | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
mother. The family say without her mother's milk, she will struggle. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
They're supposed to be on them on's milk for six months so she has not | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
started grazing or eating hay. I haven't tried anything. She can't | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
drink milk or anything, so she is totally reliant on her mum. Without | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
that milk, she will die. The police are investigating the crime but | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
this family have made their own appeal directly to the thieves. | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
They say she risk -- if she has returned or left somewhere that she | :14:45. | :14:55. | |
:14:55. | :15:00. | ||
is safe and can be found, there is In a year which has seen its | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
airport close and its football team struggle for survival, there is one | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
area that may be looking up for Plymouth. The city is hoping food | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
could help make tourism the city's biggest earner. The region already | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
has a national reputation for fine eating, with several high profile | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
chefs and award-winning restaurants. And as Ali Chitty reports, Plymouth | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
hopes the arrival of two celebrity chefs will make the city a must- | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
visit destination for food lovers. The arrival of Hugh Fearnley | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
Whittingstall to the canteen has been putting food lovers and a | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
flutter but in an industry were 94% of restaurants feel in the first | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
year, why Plymouth and why now? This is a brilliant part of the | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
world. We have friends in this part of the world, with the farm and | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
around the dark with area. Plymouth has got so much going for it. There | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
is cent sense of change and development and excitement. About | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
the whole city. We would love to be part of that. The City has looked | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
inwards to the Navy and the dockyards to provide jobs. Now, the | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
farms and food producers are being seen as a source of income. | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
Plymouth still has one major asset. Plymouth Sound. The attraction was | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
probably largely practical but these days, it is a panoramic views, | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
which is why last month, Gary Rhodes announced a multi-million | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
pound restaurant at the Plymouth Dome. It isn't just celebrity chefs | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
looking to food and tourism. 15 years ago, the Barbican was filled | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
with cars and pubs. They have been replaced with restaurants and | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
seafood bars. Plymouth is moving at a fantastic speed. The developers | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
who have come to Plymouth, the restaurant terms, and the | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
International Committee, they have recognised that planet exists in | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
its own right as a quality place. Whether it is eating or ceiling or | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
walking along the waterfront, being on the Barbican. These brothers set | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
up in 1989 and say the only surprise is that people are only | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
now talking about plan if being put on the map. We are already here. We | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
had been here for 13 years. If anything, it is great for the area | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
and the City. It will bring more people down. In turn, they spend | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
money in restaurants but in the economy. They will go to the shops. | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
They would use the banks. At a cafe. And one of the restaurants. There | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
is enough for everyone to go around. If anything, it can only make | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
things bigger and better. They agree the city is ideally placed to | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
benefit from the fashion for locally sourced and produced food. | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
:17:59. | :18:00. | ||
The fish, the vegetables, the meat. Everything. It is basically on the | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
doorstep in a small radius. Most importantly, it is fresh. It is a | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
quality and you look at things like to a man Valley for strawberries | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
and berries. -- team are valid. You cannot get sweeter. Years ago, most | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
of the fish landed here was sent abroad, especially to Spain. Last | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
year, the domestic tourism market Bernd the city �215 million so | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
marketing Plymouth as a vacation to stay could be good for the economy | :18:35. | :18:44. | |
as a whole. Always a bad time of the day for us to see food! It has | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
been a long time since lunch! A Plymouth man has enjoyed a double | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
celebration this year. A card from the Queen to mark his 100th | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
birthday and four medals from the Second World War. It's seven | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
decades since Vic George did his bit for the war effort. Now he's | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
received official recognition at last. BBC Spotlight's Matt Pengelly | :19:05. | :19:15. | |
:19:15. | :19:16. | ||
has been to meet him. That is the Atlantic Star. That is... The Vic | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
George is 100 years old and is finally getting acquainted with his | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
medals. Once he can remember what they are. But they are brand new | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
and he has only just received them. That is the air force. I don't know | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
that one. He served as a civilian see man in the Merchant Navy before | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
and during World War Two. His ship was sunk by a U-boat off West | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Africa in 1943. He was badly hurt and he spent the rest of the war | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
training young cadets at Gravesend. But he never sent away for the | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
medals he was entitled to. The Navy and the army, it is all different | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
when they come out straight from service into civvy street. I worked | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
into that gradually. I was not a serviceman at all. You did not | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
think about medals and things like that. Victor was helped by staff | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
from the starting point service, run by Plymouth Age Concern. I was | :20:17. | :20:27. | |
:20:27. | :20:29. | ||
very pleased. It is very nice. I do not think that I would have get | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
this. Now, Victor has put the memories as well as the medals. | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
Football, now... Exeter City became the second South West club to be | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
eliminated from the FA Cup in 24 hours. Last night they went out 3-2 | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
at Walsall in a first round replay. Despite Richard Logan giving City | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
the lead late in the first half, Walsall overturned that to go 2-1 | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
in front. Exeter substitute Elliot Frear forced extra time with an | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
equaliser near the end. But the Midlands team grabbed what proved | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
to be the winner eight minutes into the extra period. The Christmas | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
lights have already started to be switched on. Tonight it's happening | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
in Exeter. And another great South West festive tradition is just | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
about complete. Johnny Rutherford has been to visit Cothele House, | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
where the famous garland is going on display. Final preparations for | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
a grand Christmas atmosphere in the Great Hall. Not a hint of tinsel to | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
be seen. Instead, a 60 ft Garnant in fitting with the Tudor | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
surroundings. Christmas trees were not around back then. In that time, | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
the hall would have been cut from green foliage from the estate. | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
Conifers and traditional plants and now, we have greedily with around | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
30,000 flowers, dried from the garden. The National Trust have | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
been making Christmas gardens at the house for over 50 years. | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
those were never... Into this space? The yellow ones? This year, | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
they have allowed visitors to join in, if they are willing to climb | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
the scaffolding. It is remarkable, the way it is made. We are | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
remarkably using very thin cord and wants all of the bunches are put | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
around, and then we put in those individual flowers, and I climbed | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
up. I and 82 years old and I am glad I can still do this! Tomorrow, | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
the garment get its final touches and will be on display until New | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Year's Eve. It has taken two weeks of concentration to create. We have | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
to put them in in strict order. We work through different grasses. And | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
we finish off with these long, slender ones. It would be a shame | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
to not join in so on behalf of BBC Spotlight, as they say, this is one | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
be prepared earlier. Thank goodness he did dot bring that crashing | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
down! Can you imagine that?! Such a spectacular piece of work. | :23:19. | :23:29. | |
:23:29. | :23:33. | ||
Christmas is still one month away. You Love Christmas! Good evening. | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
We have some rain in the forecast tonight but it is still relatively | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
mild. I cannot see any cold weather as far ahead. Some rain tonight, | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
that is coming in now and quite breezy overnight. Not as cold as it | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
has been. Temperatures holding up at seven or eight degrees. This | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
cloud has been brought in by this big circle. That is a very vigorous | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
area of low pressure, giving problems to the north-west of | :24:02. | :24:10. | |
Scotland. It is a very deep area. The weather fund, for the south, is | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
much bigger and there is a strength of wind tonight but moving through | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
fairly fast by midday tomorrow. We have some showers following on | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
behind and into the weekend, another with a system and that will | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
bring us some rain later on in Saturday night. Until then, a lot | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
of dry weather and are seen as the rain welcome during the night. He | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
read his, coming across Ireland and then to the north-west of Wales. | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
Earlier today, we did have some hazy sunshine. This was Plymouth | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
Hoe. Colin was enjoying some drier weather. The breeze has been | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
picking up. And that breeze is still keeping temperatures | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
relatively mild at 13 and 14 degrees. This season has not got | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
going yet. But the seas will put up tonight. And as the rain and cloud | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
moves through, Plymouth Sound will be one of the most sheltered places | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
with the wind coming from a different direction. Some light | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
rain he ran there initially and for a time, some moderate bursts as | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
this front clears away. And by the end of the night, it is gone for | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
all of us. We wake up to a fine start. Especially across Cornwall | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
and Devon. Still the risk of early showers along Dorset. For the rest | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
of us, fine and a fresher feel. Temperatures as low as seven or | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
eight degrees. Tomorrow, a fine start with plenty of sunshine, more | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
cloud from the north-west. That happens later but it will produce | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
some showers by the end of the afternoon. They will be fleeting | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
and fairly isolated but generally more cloud towards the early | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
evening. Temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 12 degrees. | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Abri is making it feel colder from the west and north-west and for the | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
Isles of Scilly, quite blustery. The wind easing through the | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
:26:16. | :26:19. | ||
afternoon. The times of the high water... Some big waves for the | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
surfers. This low pressure is up to the north and it is starting to | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
produce some sizeable waves. Choppy but sizeable. Six or seven or eight | :26:30. | :26:38. | |
feet. The south coast having the cleanest, up to five or six feet. | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Really good conditions. The coastal waters, the windows from the west | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
and north-west. -- the wind is from the West. And good visibility. The | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
weekend, Saturday, bright and dry. Temperatures up to 13 degrees. | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Saturday into Sunday, windy conditions and outbreaks of rain. | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
It will be reluctant to clear on Sunday morning but late morning and | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
the afternoon will see this return to sunny skies. 11 degrees and a | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
bright start on Monday, increasingly windy with more wet | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
weather on Monday night. Thank you. The top stories... An ear infection | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
which proved fatal. A coroner asks for a review of NHS procedures | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
after the death of a young father. And contingency plans underway | :27:28. | :27:33. |
