A homeless Londoner now living in Torquay claims a council paid him | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
to leave the capital. London is taking an idea of social cleansing | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
to clear the streets from what they see as the undesirables prior to | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
the Olympics. Good evening. Westminster Council vehemently | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
reject Nigel Beardsley's claims. Also tonight: One week after a | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
public apology on Spotlight, Cornwall Council's contractors are | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
still missing thousands of rubbish collections. Take your finger out | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
and get this mess sorted out. Scanning for skin damage. The test | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
to highlight the harmful effects of too much sun. And the fluorescent | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
fish which could hold the key to how pollution affects human health | :00:52. | :01:01. | |
:01:02. | :01:02. | ||
and wildlife. A Londoner now living in Torquay says he is a victim of a | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
form of social cleansing. Nigel Beardsley was living in a hostel in | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
the capital and claims he was given �1,000 to move out and make way for | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
people living on the streets before the Olympics. Mr Beardsley, who is | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
49, said he was told by Westminster City Council that if he didn't go | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
he would lose any further housing benefit. The council says Mr | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Beardsley could have chosen to move anywhere but decided to settle in | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
Devon. Spotlight's Emma Ruminski reports. Nigel Beardsley is getting | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
used to life in Torquay. Hundreds of miles from his friends and | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
family in London. He used to live in a hostel for the homeless in | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Bayswater and claimed that Westminster Council offered him a | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
grant of �1,000 but only if he secures somewhere to live outside | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
London. Why have you been moved? Because London is taking an idea of | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
social cleansing to clean the streets from what they see as the | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
undesirables prior to the Olympics in London. Did someone tell you | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
this? I was told us categorically by Westminster Council and so were | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the others moved out. But the London authority categorically | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
denies that Nigel's moved to Devon has anything to do with clearing | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
:02:25. | :02:40. | ||
the streets of rough sleepers. In a does not know anybody in Turkey and | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
claims the council organised the payment directly with the private | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
landlord. He is adamant that refusing to move was not an option. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
It was either come here or go back onto the streets and a situation of, | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
as this. Battle said that when he moved to his landlord was given | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
�1,000 and he had to sign a contract for one year. Once you | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
take into account the deposit and look at other rent in this block, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
that only pays for two months so he says he now receives housing | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
benefit from Torbay Council. If you are homeless, does it matter where | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
you live or who pays? He has been given a house in Torbay and is | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
living on benefits, he isn't starving and there are rights and | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
responsibilities and there is a reasonable this. In the present | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
environment, it is reasonable for a man in his situation to be offered | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
this. But missing that connection at home makes a difference. If we | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
in Plymouth or Torbay are working with somebody from other area, the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
focus of the work is to reconnect them back to their own area and | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
support network. Nigel has a disability. He has severe blow, and | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
survives on benefits but he has a job interview and still has hope. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Our political editor, Martyn Oates, has been following the story today. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
A lot of disagreement over this particular case, but this is part | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
of a much bigger issue, isn't it? There has been a big political row | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
this week over the new cap the Government has imposed on housing | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
benefit and when the Government planned to introduce this, a lot of | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
people including the Conservative mayor of London said that it would | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
drive social housing tenants from London because it would not be | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
possible to pay London rent. This week, the Labour authority in | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
London says that is what has happened and it has to shift people | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
up to Stoke-on-Trent. What has the Government said? The Government | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
says this is nonsense and there is plenty of affordable housing closer | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
to home in London and this is a Labour authority making political | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
mischief ahead of next week's local elections. Whoever is right, if | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
London Council are going to shift people to other parts of the | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
country, we could see the situation in Torbay being replicated with | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
implications for housing and cost. Torbay Council say this as an | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
isolated case and they can confirm that no arrangements are in place | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
with any other authority to relocate individuals to Torbay in | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
the future. He will be back with a round-up of political developments | :05:16. | :05:24. | |
on Sunday. Thank you. One week after a public apology on Spotlight, | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Cornwall Council's contractors are still missing thousands of rubbish | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
collections. Cory Environmental became the sole contractor at the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
beginning of the month. But four weeks on, some communities still | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
haven't had a collection. Spotlight's Jane Chandler has the | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
latest. An early start for these crews. The first of more than 2000 | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
collections that they make across Cornwall. The waste collected is | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
taken to a depot in Bodmin but all isn't well. Stanley and his will | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
and their neighbours have four weeks of rubbish that remains | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
uncollected. I have called them five times and each time they said | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
we will clear it and they give me a reference number and then they say, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
we will clear this in 48 hours. They have cleared the main streets | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
but not this. They are among several thousand people who still | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
have not had their waste collected. 1 Nicoll, Cornwall Council and | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
environmental company made this statement. We are working very hard | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
to react to these collections and across Cornwall there has been | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
98.5% of residents receiving successful services and for these | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
areas that receive issues, we are endeavouring to react quickly. | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
Today, they admit there are problems. 98.5% this week and we | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
are now up to 98 -- 99% in terms of delivering the correct service. We | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
clearly have a number of issues in terms of missed collections for a | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
number of reasons and those things we are now trying to get to groups | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
with and understand. The Goodman family are not convinced. It get | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
your finger out and get this sorted out. The company told us that | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
without any further complaints -- they did react to further | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
complaints within 48 hours. We're continuing to get lots of feedback | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
on this. Paul has emailed to say: We had our first recycling | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
collection yesterday after the waste was outside the house on a | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
public footpath in the beautiful Fowey Valley for four weeks. Will | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
your service improve and when will it happen? On Twitter, Esther says: | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
I called about non-collection of recycling since we've had new bags. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
They said we weren't on their list. And a viewer in Padstow says: | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
General refuse is not a problem but we are still waiting for a new | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
recycling box and bags. Recycling is hit-and-miss in Padstow. Thank | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
you for all of your comments. The head teacher of an Exeter school | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
who earns more than �150,000 a year has been suspended. Steve Maddern | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
was informed of his suspension by governors of West Exe Technology | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
College. The college is already the subject of two investigations. The | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
governors asked the County Council to carry out a review of salaries | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
and the council is doing its own audit. A number of potential buyers | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
have come forward after Launa Windows went into administration. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
The firm, based at Newton Abbot, is still trading but has made 60 staff | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
redundant. The administrator has been contacted by eight or nine | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
interested parties. He hopes a sale could be completed early next week. | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Students in Exeter have started using an ultraviolet scanner to see | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
just how dangerous the sun can be to their health. Devon is one of | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
the worst counties in the country when it comes to skin cancer, with | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
about 250 cases of malignant melanoma reported each year. It's | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
hoped the simple scans will increase awareness among young | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
:08:50. | :08:54. | ||
It looks futuristic but this machine at cost under two had a | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
pounds and it could be priceless. A possible life-saver. -- under �200. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
There are some dead skin cells so anything like a exfoliating will | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
help that. These are students at Exeter College having an | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
ultraviolet facial. The scans show how brown spots, freckles and | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
redness which can occur of over- exposure to ultraviolet rays, even | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
from an early age. The college is using this to change the attitude | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
and habits of students in the sun. I don't even think about wearing | :09:30. | :09:40. | |
sunscreen. Even thinking about staying out in the sun when it is | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
at its peak over my day. Weather like this explains why Devon has | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
the 4th highest incidence rate of malignant melanoma in the country. | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
There are 250 cases of the most serious form of skin cancer and 40 | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
related deaths each year in Devon. The earlier people start protecting | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
skin, the better as damage can get down at an early age and this | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
raises awareness. The campaign run by Exeter College is called love | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
your skin and it makes a difference. It definitely made me much more | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
aware of my skin and I shall start using sunscreen, especially through | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
the summer. That facial scan with limiting qualities about the | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
dangers of the Sun. Researchers in Exeter have been awarded nearly | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
half a million pounds to investigate the effects of | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
environmental pollution on wildlife and human health. But they're | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
taking a rather unusual approach to tracking down the pollutants - | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
fluorescent fish. Spotlight's Adrian Campbell has the story. | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
These zebra fish are being watched very closely. They can tell us a | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
lot about the state of the world. Years of research is starting to | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
bear fruit. These fish are called transgenic, they have been | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
genetically modified. During the early stages of life, researchers | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
and a green fluorescent protein to the embryos of these zebra fish. | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
The protein comes from jellyfish and, amazingly, that allows us to | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
see exactly where the zebra fish take up pollutants such as estrogen, | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
in their bodies. What happens is that takes those up into the body | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
and what they are, that will glow. We can identify were these | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
chemicals are working and we can get some idea of what the potential | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
health effects might be. When the zebra fish), that might suggest it | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
has taken up more potent pollutants. And that it glows green around the | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
heart, it perhaps has been exposed to estrogen from plastics. There is | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
huge potential to a identify more pollutants in future. The beauty | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
about this model is that, unlike previous models, we can identify | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
environmental concentrations so we can take real water from our own | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
rivers and but these fish in and detect these compounds. These fish | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
tanks are linked to a sophisticated life-support system which costs | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
millions of pounds. And it allows precise control of the zebra fish's | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
environment. Researchers are working in microscopic detail. | :12:28. | :12:38. | |
:12:38. | :12:39. | ||
I am doing is I am doing injections to the fish. I inject 200 eggs each | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
day. They university is proud of this research and the principles | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
behind these fluorescent fish have been turned into a giant model | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
which it's hoped the Queen will look at when she comes to the | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
University in May. Some rare items hardly ever seen in public before | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
are forming part of an exhibition to mark the 70th anniversary of the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
Exeter Blitz. Nearly 300 people died in a single night of bombing | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
in the city in 1942. Spotlight's Hamish Marshall has been to the | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
exhibition and met some of those who survived the single most | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
destructive event in the city's history. The night which | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
transformed a city and people's lives forever. There were 19 nights | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
of bombing but as a 3rd May 1942, that was the worst. Nearly 300 | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
people died, 20,000 buildings destroyed or damaged. Beecher was | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
14 at the time. Today, he was visiting the exhibition marking the | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
70th anniversary. His father died trying to help others. He said, | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
I'll have to put you into the shelter. Because my mother had left | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
the shelter in a panic. He took me up and said, you go inside the | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
shelter and stay there until we get the all-clear. I must go and see | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
what I can do. Being a special constable, I can do anything. That | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
is the last Ice of my father. other works on a spatial buildings | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
destroyed by the Germans before they were bulldozed. The council | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
was told by the National Government, save these buildings but they | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
wanted space. These buildings are just about to be taken down. We do | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
not know that yet. We know this historically. As a record, they are | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
tremendously important. Many are the work of Leighton Hall what, and | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
this frame might be rugged but it is made of timber has rescued from | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
the parish church of St George. Also on display is this tail fin of | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
a bomb that was part of that great destruction of the city. This | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
destroyed the Chapel of St James inside the cathedral. This picture | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
of the Exeter fire watch is the key exhibit, on loan from the Imperial | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
War Museum. It has not be on display here before. A new book | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
recognises those who give their lives, including Peter's father. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
Research has brought to light many heartbreaking stories. Not another | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
one. Not the same family? It cannot be. The youngest was seven days old. | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
Killed with the mother. And the oldest was 91. And she lived in | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
Carrick Street. All of that spectrum of people. The exhibition | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
is in the Guildhall. Ironically, one of the few buildings to survive | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
the Blitz and it runs until May 10th. Some powerful memories for | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
many people. Time for the sport and Dave has been spending some time | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
with Torquay United's Austrian goalkeeper. Or is he Polish? Good | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
question. Nice to see you. Hello, everybody. If Torquay United gain | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
promotion from League Two this season, it'll be thanks to a large | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
contribution from their highly- rated goalkeeper, Bobby Olejnik. | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
He's been dubbed by his manager as the best stopper in the lower | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
divisions, testimony to his outstanding displays. Football can | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
be a game of two hairstyles. Bobby Olejnik joined Torquay United last | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
summer from Falkirk with a full head of her. But he changed his | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
style in preparation for some close shaves this season. United have to | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
beat Crewe Alexandra at playing more and hope that Crawley Town set | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
up against her referred to restore an automatic promotion place. | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
lads have been in the same situation last year and almost at | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
the same squad. We are looking forward to the game. We have beaten | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Crewe Alexander. We just hope to win again. And get automatic | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
promotion. Body was born in Vienna to Polish parents who migrated to | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Austria in their early 20s. He can speak three languages but regards | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
himself as polish. I just happened to be in Austria, born in Austria, | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
but my family, everybody is from Poland. His excellence has brought | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
him the ultimate accolade. Chosen by his fellow professionals as the | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
best goalkeeper in League Two. He may have sown the seeds for success | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
in Austria but he is raised in the bar when it comes to British | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
football. He is a great icon for the club and it shows how well we | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
have done this season. Two games to go and hopefully we can finish the | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
job. After staving off relegation in the past two weeks, Exeter | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
City's last hurrah may, at Carlisle. They need to win their last two | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
games to stay in League One. The Cumbrians they to win to reach the | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
play-off. At his dinner Argyll and Yeovil Town can relax. The pogroms | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
with League status assured take a pleasure trip to Morecambe. The | :17:52. | :18:01. | |
Glovers are also safe, leaving Chesterfield to the drop. The Tour | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
of Britain cycle race is again coming to Devon. Stage seven of | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
this year's event will be hosted on Saturday the 15th of September. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
Last year, Plymouth's Jon Tiernan- Locke won the King of the Mountains | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
jersey on the Exeter to Exmouth stage. This time it starts in | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Barnstaple and will cover around 106 miles before finishing in | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
Dartmouth. The route will again take in Dartmoor National Park. | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Somerset batsman Nick Compton has been selected for the England Lions | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
cricket squad for the tour match against the West Indies in May. | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
Compton has been on top form at the start of the season. Rain ruined | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
the second day's play against Lancashire at Taunton. The reigning | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
champions are left on 395 for nine. Somerset's South African paceman, | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
Vernon Philander, took three wickets for six runs. The Cornish | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
sailor Sam Goodchild continues to push hard in the Transat AG2R yacht | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
race. The race started in Concarneau on the French coast last | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
Saturday. The 22-year-old and his co-skipper, Nick Cherry, are lying | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
in eighth place in their yacht, Artemis, just 15 miles behind the | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
leading boat. The pair are the youngest sailors and the only | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
British competitors in the fleet, which is racing from France to the | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Caribbean. They're currently off the coast of Madeira. Sunday's | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
planned Red Bull Pro National motocross event at Landrake has | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
been postponed because the wet conditions will make it too | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
dangerous for the riders. It'll now take place in a fortnight and | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
tonight's speedway between Somerset and Plymouth is also off due to a | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
waterlogged track. But the Wiscombe Hill Climb between Honiton and | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
:19:46. | :19:46. | ||
Sidmouth does go ahead this weekend with a maximum of 145 entries. Get | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
there if you can. Some good action. They will not be put off now the | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
weather! Be chubby pretty muddy. And it all makes for a spectacle. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Volunteers at a historic railway in Cornwall say it's business as usual, | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
despite the closure of the property which is its home. The Helston | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
Railway Preservation Society operates a mile of track from | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
Trevarno Gardens in West Cornwall. The gardens closed at the weekend | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
after the owners were unable to find a buyer. Enthusiasts at the | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
railway insist the closure will not affect the line and they'll open | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
more track over the next year. Spotlight's David George reports. | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
The Helston line which connected the town to the main line to London | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
was one of the victims of the cuts. It closed in 1964. The track was | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
ripped up and some parts of the track were filled in. It has taken | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
volunteers seven years to get almost one man of the track | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
reopened. Ironic that now the trains are running, the nearby | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
garden has closed. When it was open, we were not actually running to | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
passengers. He could not offer rides. Now, on though we have lost | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
the football, we are offering rides and this year we expect to do very | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
well. A there is something about a real way like this. Even with the | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
diesel engine, it puts a smile on visitors' faces. These folks are on | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
their honeymoon. Is this your idea of a honeymoon, to spend time on a | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
preservation railway? It is really nice. To see everything they have | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
done, all the hard work from the volunteers. Really good. Retired | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
railway executives, track layers and lawyers are amongst the 50 | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
strong team running the line and extending the track several hundred | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
more metres. We have a positive attitude towards the railway. And | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
closing at you are no it is something of a blip but that will | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
not cause too much trouble. We will go as far as we possibly can in the | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
time available. Far from being downhearted, the enthusiastic | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
volunteers are open for business on Thursday and Sunday and they are | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
about to celebrate 125th anniversary of the original opening | :22:08. | :22:18. | |

Lovely stuff. He is in his element. Now the weather... Some of us had a | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
glimpse of sunshine today? Quite But the rain is never too far away | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
and this weekend it becomes wet and windy. Especially by the time we | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
get to Sunday with substantial bill for -- rainfall possible. Let's | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
look at the big satellite picture. This area of rain is down here in | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
the northern parts of Spain and Portugal. That is developing no | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
pressure that will work its way towards us. This is made day | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
tomorrow. That the pressure brings a weather front across the Channel | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Islands and then eventually the rain and the wind will arrive at | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
our own shores and quite vigorous low-pressure it is. But only wet | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
but also quite windy for much of the day. Monday, it begins to pull | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
away with south-east wind and some showers and it might be right and | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
mainly dry for the early part of next week. Looking at that in more | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
detail, you can see this line of showers forming and right on the | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
coastline it has been quite nice with some sunshine. This was | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
earlier, we did have some fine weather and just some patchy cloud. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
And the artists making the best of this fabulous view out to deceive. | :23:35. | :23:44. | |
Just those fluffy clouds and the Blues de -- Balloo sky. Here it has | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
been quite a nice day. Temperatures up to 14 and 15 degrees in the | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
sunshine. Not quite as warm by Sunday but let's go through tonight | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
and tomorrow. The showers have been quite potent. They would die out | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
later on. For the next few hours, one or two will appear before they | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
finally fade away and we are left with some patchy mist here and | :24:06. | :24:15. | |
there. Quite chilly with overnight temperatures to five degrees and | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
most places holding up at seven degrees and tomorrow, two things | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
happen. That freshening north- easterly breeze and also, we are | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
likely to see more showers developing come the afternoon. | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
Particularly across West Cornwall. And later on, the blue skies across | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
Dorset. Then the wet weather arrives overnight tomorrow and into | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
the early hours of Sunday morning. And the strength of wind will pick | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
up. Quite a breeze developing by the end of the day but it should | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
not stop temperatures with some sunshine and 13 and 14 degrees the | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
maximum figures. The answer silly, expect some showers dotted around | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
and also becoming quite breezy with the wind from the north-east. -- | :25:04. | :25:13. | |
:25:14. | :25:18. | ||
Isles of Scilly. And the high water times... The surf conditions will | :25:18. | :25:28. | |
:25:28. | :25:31. | ||
be clean. Choppy on the north coast. Initially, forced five from the | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
north-east and the wind then picks up to 46 and showers possible with | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
mainly good visibility. But the strength of wind from Saturday into | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
Sunday is worrying. Not just the wind but also the rain. We have | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
that early-warning about potential wet weather on Sunday and gusts of | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
up to around 50 mph possible. A lot of the wet and windy weather | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
arrives on Saturday night and into Sunday. Sunday is wet, cold and | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
windy. Brighter on Monday, milder also with temperatures up to around | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
13 degrees showers returning into Tuesday sold into the month of me, | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
still unsettled. Have a good weekend. They will be a round-up of | :26:15. | :26:19. |
