:22:09. > :22:17.us about the sport -- this boat. This is similar to what was here in

:22:29. > :22:34.now. Why is it here today? It is a challenge for us to run this
:22:34. > :22:38.lifeboat, and it gives the modern people a taste of what it is like
:22:38. > :22:43.back in those days and appreciate what they had to do to get to see.

:24:08. > :24:14.this weekend. We have the cold air seeping in, cold start with some
:24:14. > :24:19.sunshine, then the possibility of a rain on Sunday. To the west, there
:24:19. > :24:27.is cloud, a weather front Smalley making progress towards us, but

:24:30. > :24:37.with us for the first half of the evening before fading away through
:24:37. > :24:47.the night. By lunchtime tomorrow, we have high pressure close by,
:24:47. > :24:50.
:24:50. > :24:54.being a fine day. By lunchtime on Sunday clouding over, patchy rain.
:24:54. > :25:01.You can see where the showers have been in the last few hours. Still
:25:01. > :25:05.some sharp downpours of rain. As the showers clear to the south,
:25:05. > :25:11.tonight's forecast is clear and cold, and quickly that temperatures
:25:11. > :25:15.will get close to freezing widely across the South West. We have a
:25:15. > :25:20.risk of ice overnight, quite a high risk, particularly on minor roads
:25:20. > :25:29.and pavements that have not been treated. Tomorrow, a frosty start
:25:29. > :25:37.and an AC one -- icy conditions. Top temperature of six or seven
:25:37. > :25:42.Celsius, not warmer, lighter winds and normally winds. -- northerly.

:26:19. > :26:24.forecast, quite quiet tomorrow. That is tomorrow. For the outlook,
:26:24. > :26:30.we are expecting a change into Sunday, more cloud around. That
:26:30. > :26:36.will produce patchy rain. Over high ground that could give us some snow
:26:36. > :26:40.or sleet. Cold into Monday, cloudy and drizzly, and next week because

:26:47. > :26:51.Throughout the day you have been letting us know what you think of
:26:51. > :26:54.the cuts in the number of dedicated traffic police. Jack emails to say,
:26:54. > :26:56.now those who use mobile phones, drink and drive will assume that

:27:00. > :27:03.A former traffic officer who is now on general policing duties and has
:27:03. > :27:06.asked us not to use his name says, we are deeply interested in
:27:06. > :27:09.reducing the number of collisions involving death and injuries on our
:27:09. > :27:15.roads and the misery they leave behind. Sadly, we have been
:27:15. > :27:19.thwarted from this important task. And Jeremy in Honiton emailed to
:27:19. > :27:22.say, if there is police presence on roads then more lives will be at
:27:22. > :27:28.risk and the bad drivers will not be the ones whose families are
:27:28. > :27:32.destroyed by their actions. Thank you to everyone who took the
:27:32. > :27:36.trouble to get in touch. That is it from us tonight and this
