Another rise in the region's unemployment, and experts say it is | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
likely to get worse before it gets better. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Good evening. Will hear one man's desperate search for a job. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Also tonight, anger over the closure of a hospital ward. As | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
investigations continue at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, the family | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
of a patient on the hope -- on the ward says they are left in the dark. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
And research into strokes that is speeding up life-saving treatment. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
If I had not had the treatment, it hardly bears thinking about. I | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
could have been an invalid forever. Unemployment in the South West is | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
up yet again, and economists and business leaders have told | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Spotlight they fear it could be next year before the beach and sees | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
any significant falls. The number out of work rose everywhere in the | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
region. The number of people out of work and the UK rose 4.1 %. In | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Cornwall it rose to 3.3 % - still below the national rate. In Devon | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
it rose to 2.4 %, Dorset it rose to 2% and then Somerset it was up to | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
2.5 %. Plymouth's rate rose to 4% and Torbay it rose to 4.9 % - the | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
only area here that is above the national rate. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
For an unattractive building, it is proving popular. A son of -- a fine | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
of the Times, as unemployment rises again. Stephen Brooks has been out | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
of work for high here and has grown so desperate he will consider any | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
job. If it is soul-destroying, to be honest. All I do is come to the | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
jobs and to look for work, but it is difficult, and it get you down, | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
to be honest. Economists have told to be honest. Economists have told | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Spotlight the South West face is a particular problem with reducing | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
unemployment. Businesses are currently reluctant to invest, | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
expand and create jobs. They fear of the widespread economic | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
uncertainty, the potential of a recession and troubles in Europe. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
That is particularly true of small businesses, which tend to be | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
cautious. Around 90 % of companies in the South West are classed as | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
in the South West are classed as small. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
The economic climate at the moment is very volatile. With small | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
businesses in particular, where there is very little fat on the | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
animal, if you like, businesses are very circumspect. Welcoming | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
visitors to Exeter's Bay South West communications is a reminder of the | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
old industry. This is one company which has the resources to expand, | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
but the economic uncertainty is preventing it. The worry is we | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
would invest in expansion and it would not work and we would end up | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
losing 30 years of hard work. You have to be very cautious. You have | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
worked very hard to build something for 30 years and you could lose it | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
tomorrow, you have to be cautious. The stresses in the region's | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
employment market were evident yesterday when 80 people lost their | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
jobs at a milk production company outside Plymouth. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Analysts the debate and disagreed about what will happen to the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
economy note, but one thing they agree about is there is | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
considerable uncertainty. -- the economy now. That will be little | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
comfort for those who have become sadly familiar with places like | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
that. There where I spoke to economist | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Kevin Butler and daft and when he thought unemployment would start to | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
fall in the South West. -- their way you I spoke. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
In the second half of this year there are reasons to suppose things | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
will get better. We have seen inflation numbers coming down quite | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
sharply, and that means people's spending power will not be squeezed | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
as much as it was last year. That is a positive sign that any impact | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
the retail sales environment -- that might impact. It is still very | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
uncertain, and all the day-to-day problems we hear about in relation | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
to the eurozone are just discouraging businesses from | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
investing in ways that would apply people and create jobs. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
understandably, businesses are extremely cautious at the moment. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
What could you think they need to happen in order to put their money | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
on the line again? They need to see more stability, in | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
other words, instead of living from day to day, Vale would like to be | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
living from month to month or quarter to quarter of, they would | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
like to Severe order books more sustained and evidence that | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
recovery is coming through significantly. With the | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
uncertainties around markets, demand and indeed some political | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
uncertainties, for example the oil prices picking up again recently | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
reflecting political worries in the Middle East, it is putting off | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
making commitments and investing. It will come back into income and I | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
think the second half of this you should look better. Yesterday we | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
heard 80 more people lost their jobs at a milk processing plant in | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Devon, do you think we will have a few more stories like that in the | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
coming months? We need to bear in mind that the on employment rate in | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
the South West is considerably more than the national average. There | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
are areas like Plymouth which is pretty much in line with the | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
national average for all employment, but we are seeing the pictures | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
where unemployment is lower across the South West. There will be | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
reports and stories, and companies will be facing difficulties, | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
because demand is quite weak in some areas, and I certainly would | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
not rule out more stories like the one at FarmRight over the next few | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
months. I hope that they will be isolated and I hope we will | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
continue to see a relatively low and that rate of companies going | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
:06:45. | :06:46. | ||
into administration. -- relatively low and that rate. -- | :06:46. | :06:56. | |

A man whose 92-year-old mother was a patient on a ward shut down after | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
staff were suspended says he is angry the hospital would release | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
more information. Alan Callcut is back at work. He | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
spent all yesterday with his 92- year-old mother, who is now back in | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
a different ward at the Royal Cornwall Hospital after falling out | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
of bed at home. She is one of the patient sent home when the Wheal | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Agar ward was closed down and staff suspended at the weekend. Alan | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
Callcut want to know why there is an investigation into the ward his | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
mother has spent the last five weeks in. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
My concern was, why was it closed? I immediately called the hospital | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
and they refused to talk to me. They said don't bring again. That | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
is all I got. How do you think the Royal Cornwall | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
Hospital should have handled this? Personally, I think they should | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
have contacted all the relatives of the people in the ward and put them | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
into the picture of what is happening. They said -- they should | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
have said, we will inform you as soon as we know anything. This | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
evening, the hospital's Trust has responded from a statement -- with | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
a statement from the Director of Nursing. Bennett, she says we are | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
happy to speak to any relatives who are concerned about patient care on | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
Wheal Agar ward, and we will speak to Alan Callcut again about the | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
care of his mother. In the meantime, the BBC have received a statement | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
from the Care Quality Commission. They say they are aware of an | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
incident at the Royal Cornwall Hospital and that they will | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
continue to monitor the trust to ensure the safety and welfare of | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
people using the services. We also contacted the Royal College of | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Nursing, which represents many of the nurses here. They said they | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
would not comment, and I am told staff have been told in an e-mail | :08:52. | :09:02. | |
Plymouth divert Tom Daley has been warned he will miss out on an | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
Olympic medal if he does not cut back on media work. Team GB diving | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
coach Alexei Evangulov has criticised the 17-year-old for | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
having too many commitments eating into training time. The teenager is | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
training in Essex ahead of a World Cup event next week. He says the | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
demands on him away from the swimming pool are controlled and he | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:33. | ||
is adamant they will not be in the week of the Olympics. Great Britain | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
and Plymouth diver, Brooke Graddon, today defended his -- her timid. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
He has -- he is incredibly focused, his main focus is on London and his | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
training, and nothing will become has -- become -- come between him | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
and that. Cornwall council is the first local | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
authority in the South West to offer students a bursary lifeline. | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
It replaces the EMA. People are being warned of the | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
danger of not having their chimneys swept after a rise in fires. In the | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
last week alone, there have been more than 50 call-outs to chimney | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
fires in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. The increase is being put | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
down to fire has been lit for the first time, some people trying to | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
save money while others not knowing how regularly their chimneys should | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
be swept. A chimney fire can have a | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
devastating effect. It is thought that is what started the fire which | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
destroyed this pub in Cornwall last year. The mild autumn and recent | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
cold weather led to 22 call-outs in Devon, 17 in Somerset and for team | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
in Cornwall last week. All of a sudden the temperature | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
dropped. People are starting to use their open fires, and particularly | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
this week as it is half-term, a lot of people are having their open | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
fires used, as well. It is thought people mean this having chimneys | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
swept to save money. Don Peters, who has been a chimney sweep for | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
three years, believes range because often get overlooked. Times are | :11:11. | :11:16. | |

your insurance company will pay out. Many people are unaware of how | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
regularly chimneys should be swept. Guidelines say it should be at | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
least once a year for smokeless coal. Bitumen should be swept twice | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
a year, and where would is but it should be up to form at times a | :11:48. | :11:50. | |

you? Yes, it does. Will it make you change? Yes, if it needs doing, I | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
will do it, one or report me once a year. That surprises me. Blimey. | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
Thank you. Fires can still happen after a sweeping, so smoke alarms | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
and carbon monoxide detectors are also recommended. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
Safety campaigners say Devon and Cornwall has one of the worst | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
records in the company for farm accidents. Today, farmers from the | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
region have been attending safety workshops to try and improve that | :12:27. | :12:37. | |

That would lift up so easily no, it would take nothing to tip that over. | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
These farmers are back in the classroom at the Duchy College, and | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
in this less than they are being shown how dangerous quad bikes can | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
be if not handled correctly. can easily flip it over with a | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
moment's carelessness. If you touch it, you are potentially at risk. | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
This farmer knows how it -- knows how easy it is to run into trouble. | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
He was electrocuted when his trailer hit a power line. I was up | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
to the sport, could not move, miraculously I broke off, and the | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
result was a dislocated shoulder and a smashed humorous as the | :13:17. | :13:27. | |

demonstrates what can happen if you get caught up in a rotating power | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
shaft. 1.5 metres of clothing can be | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
wrapped around the shaft in about one second, so it does not take | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
much to imagine how dangerous these are. You have no chance to stop the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
piece of machinery or take evasive action? None at all, once you are | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
caught up in the mechanism, it is very -- it is over very quickly. | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
Every two months, someone is killed on a farm in Devon and Cornwall. It | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
can be the farmer, unemployed E or member of the family. -- and | :14:08. | :14:15. | |

they say today's saved the event Farmers are joining forces to | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
battle against cheap food imports, we'll see how they're doing it in a | :14:25. | :14:28. | |

the '70s. But could this be the oldest Ford Cortina in the world? | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
We're in Plympton to find out. A South West research project is | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
saving lives and reducing disability in stroke patients. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
Academics are working with doctors in Exeter and the ambulance service | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
to reduce the time it takes to give patients vital clot-busting | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
treatment. Our Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy reports. | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
Having a stroke has left nearly half a million people in England so | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
the disabled, but getting treatment fast can make all the difference. A | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
major stroke last year might have changed this woman's life, but | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
because she was in hospital for other condition, within one hour, | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
she was diagnosed, scanned and given treatment to break up the | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
clot. She has had no lasting damage. I can't understand how I could have | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
had a stroke and got over it so quickly. And how I would have been | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
if I hadn't had the treatment, it hardly bears thinking about. I | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
could have been an invalid forever. A pilot study here at Exeter is | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
enabling many more stroke patients to get fast treatment that will | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
reduce the risk of long-term damage. Exeter University researchers have | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
used computer simulation to analyse patient journeys from nine-night | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
nine calls to treatment, to identify bottlenecks in the system. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Changes have been made, such as ambulance crews with extra cases | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
calling ahead. They can get the struck co-ordinators, the struck | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
consultants and the CT Scanner ready so that when the patient ride, | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
they can make a quick transition from the ambulance on to the | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
scanner and then we can determine whether they need the life-saving | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
drug. Twice as many patients at this hospital are now getting clot- | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
busting drugs within the crucial three a window, and that is set to | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
improve. The sooner you treat them, the much better chance they have of | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
responding to treatment and recovering without major paralysis | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
or any of the other effects of a stroke. If we can treat more people | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
and treatment sooner, that will translate into fewer people relying | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
on the health service, needing care homes, and so on, so it is a | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
benefit to the patient and also to the health service and the | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
population as a whole. The study is now likely to be replicated in | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
hospitals across the region. university is keen to work with any | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
hospitals, to help them identify where the delays are in stroke | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
treatment. If we can roll this up to the whole of Devon and Cornwall, | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
there will be a huge benefit for patients. Suffering a stroke is | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
devastating, but now, more patient will survive and even thrive after | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
they have won. -- are more patients. A group of farmers on Dartmoor has | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
banded together to try and get more people to buy their meat. The | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
economy, cheap food imports and rapidly rising production costs at | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
home are all hitting meat producers. Now they hope to use the Dartmoor | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
name to brand and market their meat. Our Environment Correspondent | :17:44. | :17:52. | |
Adrian Campbell reports. Upland farmers face harsh times. | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
The price of meat has been rising, but so, too, have production costs. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
50 Dartmoor farmers were banded together, supported by Prince | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
Charles, to market their native breed cattle and sheep. He helped | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
us establish our logo and a brand, with marketed support, we have | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
developed that into a business model, which now has about �5,000 | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
turnover in the last 12 month period. Independent consultants | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
were commissioned to predict how upland landscapes will change over | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
30 years if upland farmers cannot make a go of things. On Dartmoor, | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
open more land grazed by cattle and sheep dips we didn't grassland. | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Habitat for ground-nesting birds are overwhelmed and so on | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
Dartmoor's distinctive walls, coniferous trees and course spread | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
out, and wild fires burn peat, releasing carbon dioxide. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
landscape looks like it does because livestock have been farmed | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
on those areas for hundreds of years, and should numbers begin to | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
reduce, the landscape will change as a result. It is the landscape | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
and the farmers that own the land that shape the landscape we all | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
enjoyed. On Exmoor, cattle also disappear and grass is less green, | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
as fertilisers become more costly. Pigs, Dees and horses create a more | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
crowded landscape, all associated with hobby farming. Could this be | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
the feature in an era with fewer subsidies of bombing it? What a | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
poor time the South West would have less, -- once upon a time. | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
National Farmers' Union says it is encouraged to see farmers working | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
together linking the meat they produce with the spectacular | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
landscape. Onto football and Torquay United | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
are proving to be the South West's star team. Their seventh win in a | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
row has taken them up to the automatic promotion places in | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
League Two. With that, and the rest of the football news, here's | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
Spotlight's Dave Gibbins. Torquay United manager's | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
unstoppable juggernaut is sweeping all before them. They haven't lost | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
since mid-December, and are now joint top of the league, thanks to | :20:10. | :20:19. | |
Ian Morris. They are now level on points with leaders Southend, and | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
second-placed Cheltenham. In the same division, Plymouth Argyle have | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
crawled out of the bottom two relegation slots, despite Bonnett | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
holding them to a goalless draw. In between the north London team twice | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
hitting the framework, McDonald looked a gift horse in the bath, | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
inexplicably missing an open goal. Notts County invaded at the City's | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
nest in the first 10 minutes -- Exeter City's nest. They were | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
headed level shortly after from this corner kick. But this foul | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
gave County a penalty, an initiative they never surrendered | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
in a 2-1 win. Gary Dobson enjoyed his first away win since returning | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
to manage Yeovil Town. From one down, they replied with three goals | :21:12. | :21:22. | |
:21:22. | :21:22. | ||
in 14 minutes. The inform Andy Williams struck twice. They stunned | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
Wycombe a. Although Yeovil conceded another, they held on to win by the | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
odd goal in five of. Do you recognise this car behind | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
us? Were used to look at people in envy. | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
It's 50 years since one of Britain's most popular cars - the | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
Ford Cortina - first appeared. It quickly became as common a sight on | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
the road as the Mini and the Beetle. Chloe Axford's been out for a drive | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
with a Plymouth man who's spent the last four years lovingly restoring | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
one of the earliest known models of this classic car in existence. | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
This particular one is a two-door version, which makes it very rare. | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Brian bought is not addicted to mark one Ford Cortina four years | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
ago. You notice the very distinctive back lights, some | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
people call them ban the bomb at lights. They are unique to the | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
Marquand container. This is his 8th Cortina. He saved up to buy his | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
first made Plymouth garage when he was just 21, and it was a lifelong | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
love affair. It was the first car I could afford, it is the styling, | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
the history, it is just... Everything to do with the Cortina, | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
I just love the Cortina, I can't put it into words. Named after an | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
Italian ski resort, the Ford Cortina first rolled off the | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
production line in 1962. It cost just �550, though over the next 20 | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
years became one of Britain's most popular cars. Now, for the top gear | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
:23:19. | :23:22. | ||
I am not much of an expert will but as far as brain is concerned, she | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
certainly does modern cars are run for the money. -- as far as Brian | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
is concerned. It makes me feel very happy to be driving it, I'm very | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
proud to own it, drive it, I look forward to it after working all | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
week. And for a car which is pushing 50, you can't say fairer | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
than that. It is immaculate! Better condition | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
than my car! How is the weather Not too bad, a bit cold at night | :23:58. | :24:07. | |
because we have some clear sky coming. But a dry story, and | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
tonight, two or three degrees colder than last night. The | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
possibility of some frost. The general movement of cloud at the | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
moment is for it to drift down from the north. It is a long way off, | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
but it will eventually get to us by Friday night into Saturday. We have | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
the high pressure, that weakens somewhat through the day tomorrow, | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
so perhaps feeling a bit warmer. Then on Friday, the front start to | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
get a bit closer. By the end of the day, it will steadily sink its way | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
sapwood. That is the picture we have seen so far today. Some good | :24:48. | :24:58. | |
:24:58. | :24:59. | ||
holes in the cloud, this was early today. He enjoyed a splendid view | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
of the wildlife on the canal. Some Sunny spells to enjoy, temperatures | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
peaked at nine or 10 degrees. Isn't it great to see them flying along? | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
The forecast for this evening and tonight, I mentioned we are going | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
to see some clear sky, it is developing across the southern half | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
of the Irish Sea. Most likely, across sheltered part of the South | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
and East Devon. With a bit of shelter from the north-west winds, | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
which will be much lighter tonight, we will see the temperatures close | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
enough to give us some frost in the morning. Along the north Devon | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
coast, as well as the northern part of Cornwall, there might be a few | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
light showers tomorrow morning. For the rest of the day, we can expect | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
the cloud to be fairly extensive, but like today, a few bricks | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
developing. -- breaks. Not as windy as today, so perhaps feeling a | :26:02. | :26:12. | |
:26:12. | :26:17. | ||
little warmer. The Isles of Scilly, we can expect a much quieter day. | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
And we also see times of high water, just the middle of the day. If | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
you're heading for the beaches but some surfing to be you might be | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
disappointed bulls -- disappointed. It has been reasonable, but | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
tomorrow, the wind becomes westerlies are the stuff becomes | :26:39. | :26:49. | |
:26:49. | :27:00. | ||
smaller and a bit messier. Coastal The outlook - let's start with | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
fried egg. A lot of cloud, giving potentially some drizzle, but not | :27:03. | :27:11. | |
really getting going, then Saturday, at the front arrives, gives us | :27:11. | :27:19. |
