The shopping centre tracking the movement of customers via their | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
mobile phones. It is like Big Brother. They're keeping an eye on | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
how many people comment. That's fine. Good evening. Princesshay | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
shopping centre says the monitoring is anonymous, but civil rights | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
groups have raised concerns. Also tonight. A unique insight into the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Libyan uprising. A photographer from Cornwall who was seriously | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
injured covering the conflict describes what he witnessed. It was | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
horrifically violent, scenes that I did not think existed any more. It | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
was extremely dangerous. And how the experts got the value of this | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
vase spectacularly wrong. We'll reveal how much it eventually sold | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
for. It has emerged that people using Exeter's biggest shopping | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
centre are being tracked via their mobile phones without their consent. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
The movements of anyone who has their bluetooth phone switched on | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
at Princesshay can be monitored anonymously. Those behind the | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
scheme say it's safe and provides useful information, but civil | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
liberty groups are worried about privacy. This report from John | :01:16. | :01:26. | |

Henderson. Another busy day at Exeter's newest shopping centre. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
People at Princesshay bargain hunting and chatting on their | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
phones. But their movements are monitored. Since 2008, the centre | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
has had footpath technology, as this footage shows, picking up a | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
randomly generated, frequently changing signal from mobile phones | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
and tracking shot burst through the centre. Information can be analysed | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
and used to improve the way centre's work. People's mobile | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
numbers cannot be identified and shoppers this morning had mixed | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
views on the technology. It is like Big Brother. It is an intrusion on | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
your privacy. I don't like being tracked. A doesn't bother me. If | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
they want to keep an eye on how many people come in, that's fine. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
statement from Princesshay said that the date they received from | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
phones contains no personal information and that includes | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
mobile telephones. It said that shoppers remained anonymous at all | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
times. And it isn't alone in having this technology. Many shopping | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
centres use it to attract shoppers so they can improve safety and | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
altar at the mix of retailers. For some, reassurances over privacy | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
issues are not enough. We need much better regulation nationally to | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
make sure that if someone wanted to track individuals, they would not | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
be allowed to do so and would be punished if they did. We are not | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
interested in individuals, we are interested in how people, when they | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
visit Princesshay, how they move around. It is the anonymous | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
information that we are interested in using. To help in the long term | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
by improving the experience. some, it is Big Brother, for others, | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
technology making life better. The potential of technology to track | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
mobile phones and their owners isn't limited to helping retailers | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
make money. It's been used for many years by police forces as a | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
powerful tool in solving serious crimes. Simon Hall joins us from | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
:03:47. | :03:50. | ||
Princesshay. Explain how this is used. That is on a bigger scale | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
than we see here at Princesshay. What tends to happen is police will | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
be interested in someone as a potential suspect and they will | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
apply to the mobile phone company for records of where the phone has | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
been and they can work out usually at general area or would they have | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
been by the antenna that the phone had been logging into. And that | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
could be very powerful in building a case against a suspect. It can | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
tell the jury were somebody was at what time and it makes -- using | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
mobile technology, it can tie someone into a certain place and | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
time. That provides great evidence. How are commonly is this used? | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
was speaking to one senior detective in Devon and Cornwall | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
police and he says it is a standard tool. One of the first cases used | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
was this notorious case at the petrol station near Weybridge. 10 | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
years ago. The murder of Caroline Graham Fisher. The mobile phone | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
tracking in that case about police to put the killers are in that area | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
and one detective involved told me that it was a difficult one to | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
solve and that evidence was crucial in getting the conviction. Thank | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
you. A Cornish photographer who suffered horrific injuries in a | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
rocket attack in Libya has been speaking on television for the | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
first time. Guy Martin from Falmouth has serious pelvic and | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
abdominal damage for which he's still being treated. Two of his | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
colleagues were killed in the attack in Misrata last April. He's | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
setting up an exhibition of his pictures of the Arab uprising and | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
has been talking to Spotlight's David George. This was the moment | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
that the Libyan rebels in Miss Rutter fought back the onslaught of | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
Gaddafi. They did that in the most old-school way. They did it foot by | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
foot, inch by inch. Little did I know at the time that that was when | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
I was hit later on in that day. Martin had been taking these | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
pictures of the rebels in action hours before he was hit by shrapnel | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
from a rocket attack. The shrapnel of the bomb blast was extremely | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
close to me. And from what I found out, when the mortar landed on | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
concrete, the blast radius is very low. But also very wide. All of my | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
injuries were my pelvis, my legs and stomach. This is a moment that | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
Colonel Gaddafi was finally captured. Six months after his | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
soldiers had attacked the Cornish photographer. It left me feeling | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
cold, those pictures of him being taken from that train, it did not | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
fill me with joy. I did not hold him responsible for what happened | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
to me and I do not have any bitterness or anger about the man | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
that fired at mortar shell at me. Guy Martin says what happened to | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
him has changed the way he won approaches work. I think I would | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
just work slower. Not going to the frontline, not with the bombs and | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
bullets, but to look more at civilians, the population and many | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
stay away from men with guns. exhibition at Falmouth polytechnics | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
society opens next week and will raise money for the Rory Peck Trust, | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
dedicated to the safety and welfare of freelance journalist. The family | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
of a 22-year-old wanted for questioning over the stabbing of a | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
man in Bridport on New Year's Eve have urged him to come forward. | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Dorset Police released this picture of Aaron Peter Marshall following | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
the incident on Alexandra Road. The 36-year-old victim, who is in a | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
stable condition, was taken to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
with six stab wounds. A woman from Torquay has appeared in court | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
charged with the murder of a man in Dorset on Boxing Day. Carol Kemp | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
was arrested after Martin Rusling was found stabbed at his home in | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
:08:27. | :08:28. | ||
Portland. She was remanded in custody until the 29th of February. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Some GPs are warning that smaller practices in Devon could cut | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
opening hours and perhaps even close under a new funding formula. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
One practice is getting 25% less money while another is cutting | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
staff wages. Health bosses say it's part of a process to make things | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
fairer. Hamish Marshall has been looking into this and is with me | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
now. The new scheme saves money and it tries to equalise payments to | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
GPs across the county. NHS Devon says that under the old terms, one | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
practice was getting �135 for each patient per year while others were | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
getting �65. Now there will be a cap of �75 per patient and the | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
average is �69. Half of the money is being redistributed and �300,000 | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
is going into savings. When some practices will get more, others | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
like the one run by this GP, the smallest in Devon, will get less. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
The question that I would ask and that the patients should be asking | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
is, where is the other half going? It isn't being reinvested in | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
primary care in Devon and in real terms, this is that this investment. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
Quite how you square that what the Government statement that they are | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
committed to protecting frontline services, that is anybody's guess. | :09:45. | :09:54. | |
What would this mean for patients? Larger practices can make an | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
argument of scale and that Dr will take a pay cut and will reduce | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
hours and he might close a separate surgery in another village, making | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
it harder for patients to get to him. Another practice is cutting | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
wages across the board by 5%. are managers saying? They say it's | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
about helping practices which were getting less and even after the | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
changes, most practices are getting more than the national average. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
have to be honest, if somebody was going to take a big chunk out of my | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
income and I had to work hard to make that up, I would feel | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
disadvantaged. That could impact on patients? I do not think it will. I | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
would be disappointed if it did. There are loads of flexibilities | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
within this system. NHS Devon is one of the first bodies to | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
introduce this and say it is being brought in over three years to make | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
it easier for practices affected. Thank you. News from troubled club | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Plymouth Albion in a moment and a crucial meeting about their future. | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Also still to come. Fighting fit again. The boxer from Dorset who's | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
back in the ring just months after losing part of his leg. And no such | :11:00. | :11:07. | |
thing as a free meal? There is here, and we'll be finding out why. | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
Shareholders from Plymouth Albion are meeting now to discuss the | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
club's finances. Albion's board needs around �200,000 to try to | :11:13. | :11:22. | |
balance the books. Brent Pilnick has the latest from the Brickfields. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Tonight, the chairman of Plymouth Albion will outline to shareholders | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
the financial problems of the club as he looks to get around �200,000 | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
of new investment into the club in order to stave off any threat of | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
administration. It comes as the club has seen the kit for thanks to | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
the economic downturn. This is thanks to a sponsor who was paying | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
the wages for the new coach having pulled out and his financial | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
problems came to light. This isn't the first club in the area to have | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
any financial problems. We know about the problems at Plymouth | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
Argyle and they are now out of administration. There is no thought | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
that Plymouth Albion could enter administration but if they do not | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
get the money they need, they might have no other choice. Plymouth | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Albion tonight are not commenting about what they will get from | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
shareholders but they are hoping to release a statement some time | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
tomorrow. A damaged Chinese porcelain antique has sold for 40 | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
times its guide price at auction in Cornwall. The altarpiece was | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
discovered being used as a lampstand in a Cornish home. It was | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
listed at �400 to �600, but thanks to a telephone bidding war, | :12:31. | :12:41. | |
:12:41. | :12:43. | ||
eventually sold for �25,000. I just sat back and let the pillars do | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
their job. And that just slowly went up. I started at �500 and it | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
just went up. To my right was a computer screen and I could see | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
Chinese betters fighting and the price soaring on the computer. I | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
had telephone bidders and it was very nice. A very nice feeling. | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
I'll bet there are people around the south-west looking at their old | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
Chinese and takes! How much is at work?! South West researchers have | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
discovered an important reason for the dramatic decline in our eel | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
population. Until recently, very little has been known about the | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
migratory habits of the eel. But as Adrian Campbell reports, it seems | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
there are too many barriers in their way. Deals have remarkable | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
life cycle and this born in the Atlantic before coming back to | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
South West rivers on the Gulf Stream. A husband-and-wife has | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
studied the behaviour over years and their work has helped produce | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
some important results. Barriers are a real problem. And habitat | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
loss is a major issue. Therefore, work going on here is a real bonus | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
for them. Lawrence Coldrick from the West Country Rivers Trust took | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
us to the spot on the river fell. Here, a prototype pass has been | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
developed, costing thousands. The aim is to help the eels. It is fine | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
for salmon but it's not very good for eels, they're like turbulence. | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
Eels stick to the side of the river, we have this pass. How does it | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
work? They move up the side and then get to this brush and they can | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
move up through the brush and what happens is that once they get to | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
the top, they enter this system and it takes them all the way to the | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
top of the get and up they go on their merry way. Eels use the | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
bristles of the brush to help make their way upstream. The Environment | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
Agency has also deployed this system in Somerset and they're | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
pleased with results. They disliking any good. We want to do | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
some more. But again passes seems to be a good thing and you want to | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
do more. Habitat loss and changes in the Gulf Stream can affect the | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
life cycle of the eel. But barriers on rivers have certainly made life | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
harder. Today marked the official ground breaking ceremony for | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Weymouth's new observation tower. Standing 53 metres tall on the end | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
of Festival Pier, it will overlook the Olympic Village and sailing | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
course. And there to help proceedings, some of the Team GB | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
sailors. As Catharina Moh reports, they got slightly more than they | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
:15:43. | :15:44. | ||
bargained for. Stopping sales for spades. Three sailors helped mark | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
the official ground-breaking ceremony for the new tower. At its | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
highest point, you can see for miles along the Jurassic Coast and | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
the new Olympic match resting got a preview today. I am not a fan of | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
heights but it's a great view. It'll be a great place. The �3.5 | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
million attraction is being built in time for the Olympics but not | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
for them. With temporary planning permission in place for five years. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
Despite the new vista, a number of residents did lodge objections with | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
the council, claiming it would damage the views. There have been | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
concerns and everybody is entitled to their opinion but the majority | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
of the feedback has been positive. It will hold 70 people and the | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
experience will take 15 minutes, winning it could potentially take | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
1500 people every day. At just under 40 metres high, we are 10 | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
metres short of where the observation point. But visitors | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
will get the chance to see the 360 view of the Dorset countryside as | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
well as this amazing few other hopefuls competing for metals down | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
below and with just 205 days to go until the Olympics, the organisers | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
are confident it will be ready in time. An amateur boxer from Dorset | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
who lost the lower half of his leg in an accident is back in the ring. | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Jonjo Look, who's 18 and from Weymouth, says he's ready to | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
compete again. Our Dorset reporter, Simon Clemison, caught up with him | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
at the club where he trains in Dorchester. The Jonjo Look learnt | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
to use his hands and feet from an early age but two years ago he | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
injured but badly in an explosion as he filled a gas canister. His | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
wounded had survived but his right leg was almost completely severed. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
At first it was devastated but it is an obstacle that I must get over | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
and get on with life. No point in sitting around. Did you think you | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
boxing days were over? At first, yes. I had to go down to | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Bournemouth and they said that these new lens are pretty good. | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
good, doctors have clear tend to compete in the ring once more. With | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
this new prosthetic limb in place, he learned to walk again, then run, | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
then fight. What was it like trying to get used to having the new leg | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
as well as boxing? I was pretty lucky. I had one off and one on, | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
pretty quickly. Within two months, and was walking. The governing body | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
still to -- still has to agree to him competing but he says he is | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
ready for it. Are you as good a boxing as you were before the | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
accident? I do not know. Abul find out! I will have a go. You have | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
:18:55. | :18:56. | ||
been training? Yes, I can still move my hands and feet pretty well. | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
They say there's no such thing as a free lunch, but a cafe in Devon is | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
offering exactly that. Once a month, everything on the menu at the | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Freedom Cafe in Seaton is completely free of charge. Chloe | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
Axford has been along to try it out. Fancy a cup of coffee and home-made | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
cake? A sand wedge or beans on toast? Here at the Freedom Cafe in | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
St Gregory's church hall in Seaton, it is completely on the house. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
wanted to do something for the Church isn't asking for money or | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
donations were time, we simply are getting to people. That simple | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
message. What do the customers think of their free lunch? I like | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
the third, a hospitality and the people. We know everybody. And they | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
all know you. It's really good for people, especially elderly people | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
they cannot afford a hot meal every day. Really good. I do find myself | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
wanting to give some money for what I have had. And not just | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
appreciation as a thank you way but monetary, because that is what is | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
expected. In normal day-to-day life. It has a community coming together. | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
Once a month. This community comes together. The cafe was started by a | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
church member Miri Casey two years ago. It is staffed by volunteers | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
who serve the food. People just give generously. They liked the | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
idea that it does not matter who or what you are or what you have got, | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
you can come here and have it for free. It isn't about getting people | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
down to the church, not about bums on seats, you don't even have to | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
believe. You are just welcome as my fellow human. The Freedom Cafe has | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
recently won a grant to improve the kitchen and with queues out of the | :20:55. | :21:04. | |
tour, it hopes to expand even more in the future. Uplifting story. The | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
clear-up after yesterday's storms continues. Roads were left covered | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
in debris after several trees were blown down. Elsewhere, flooding | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
caused problems. The violent weather has also left its mark on | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
the coast. As Andrea Orsmby discovered, the wind has blown in | :21:19. | :21:27. | |
something rather unusual, all the way from Ireland. A windy day at | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
Woolacombe beach. Bound to bring in some debris. This is one of the | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
network of boys of the Southern Irish coast, 10 days ago there was | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
a big storm and it ripped from its moorings and has ended up here. It | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
is constantly sending Updates used by the Met Office for shipping | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
forecasts and you can see the light is still flashing. That is how the | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
company in Ireland knew it had ended up here. For locals it has | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
been worth braving the went to get a close look. There is quite a bit | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
if interest. It turned up a few days ago and people have been | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
coming down, climbing on it and taking photographs. It has been the | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
talk of the village. Pretty strange. I go surfing here. To see such | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
large debris, it's pretty shocking. We came from Australia. We were | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
just driving along and to see that great, big thing washed-up, it's | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
pretty horrific. The Marine Institute in Ireland, which owns it, | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
is working with Swansea Coastguard to see how they can get it back. It | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
isn't at work could start tomorrow. -- it is thought that work could | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
:22:49. | :22:52. | ||
You can see that data from those online and that one has not been | :22:52. | :23:02. | |
:23:02. | :23:03. | ||
reporting! Let's have a look at the month of December. For some, it | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
actually was the wettest month of the year. Average rainfall of 200 | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
and -- 200 mm. Eight inches. Because we have had predominantly | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
Western wind, some parts had less than the average rainfall. | :23:20. | :23:29. | |
Exmouth... Thank you for these statistics. About 130 mm was the | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
average and they had less in 2011. Sunshine... Average is about 55 | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
hours and we saw just about that. And temperatures. There is a big | :23:45. | :23:55. | |
:23:55. | :23:56. | ||
difference. Last year compared to this year. In 2010, the average | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
daytime temperature was 4.6. Night time, minus two. That shows you how | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
cold last winter was. 2011, 10.8 and 5.2. Those figures are about | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
the average and when you look at the long-term average temperatures. | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
South West Water reservoir levels. Because of the rainfall, we had | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
been suffering all year from the fact that the levels have been | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
quite low and now they are back up to what they should be. 2010, 74.5 | :24:32. | :24:41. | |
and 2011, 74.2. We have caught up. We are interested in the mild | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
weather we have seen recently and perhaps in what the plants are | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
doing and we would like to see your pictures. We have had pictures of | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
snowdrops sent in, send them to our usual address. We would love to | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
hear from you, especially if you have seen daffodils early. Let's | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
look at the forecast, some pretty inclement weather. This great lump | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
of cloud on the satellite picture, this area of low pressure, some | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
weather fronts bringing wet and windy weather across us of burn-out, | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
slowly sinking southwards and clearing by lunchtime tomorrow. | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
:25:29. | :25:29. | ||
Tomorrow promises some bright, try weather and even sunshine. This is | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
the rain. Some of this already coming in and some becoming quite | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
heavy and more persistent later on. We have a yellow warning in Exeter. | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
Heavy rain coming away and it's not just the rain, it's the strength of | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
wind. This will steadily increase. Heroes this evening and overnight. | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
The brighter colours indicate heavier bursts. We could see 60 | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
miles per hour costs. Not quite a stormy yesterday but some very | :25:58. | :26:07. | |
strong gusts. These are the temperatures. 7 - 9-grace. Through | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
to Mahler, we will see a much brighter picture. Some sunshine, a | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
few showers and an improving story through the day with north-west | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
wind but feeling overly warm but temperatures up to around him or 11 | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
degrees. And that way and will drop later in the day. The Isles of | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
Scilly... The rain will clear and much better nature. Some sunny | :26:30. | :26:40. | |
:26:40. | :26:42. | ||
spells through the rest of the day. The high water times... And for the | :26:42. | :26:51. | |
surface, huge waves. Up to 10 or 12 feet on the north coast. And a | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
quick look at the coastal waters. Gale-force, decreasing to seven it | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
later. It does get better for the rest of the week. Thank you. We've | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
had quite a few emails about the tracking of customers at | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
Princesshay in Exeter. Mike says: If you don't like the idea of being | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
tracked at all, leave your mobile phone at home. Mark in Paignton | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
says: This is wrong on every level, in my view. Not my idea of good | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
customer relations. This is from Kieron in Plymouth: People get | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
monitored by CCTV just about everywhere, but to start using | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
bluetooth signals? Is this the thin end of the wedge? And on Twitter, | :27:24. | :27:30. |
