:00:15. > :00:18.medical help in Devon is delayed. Good evening. Welcome to Spotlight.

:00:18. > :00:22.The service which replaces NHS Direct was meant to be up and

:00:22. > :00:27.running across the South West in April. But a pause to learn lessons

:00:27. > :00:32.from problems with the launch in other areas has been welcomed.

:00:32. > :00:35.Hello. Also tonight. Remember the year of landslips and cliff falls?

:00:35. > :00:38.One woman died when her house collapsed after torrential rain.

:00:38. > :00:42.We've been back to one town in Cornwall still recovering from the

:00:42. > :00:49.impact of 2012's weather on the South West. And the day the war

:00:49. > :00:53.crash landed on the beach remembered forever. The launch of the new

:00:53. > :00:56.non-emergency helpline NHS 111 has been postponed in Devon, to avoid

:00:56. > :00:58.the chaos experienced elsewhere. In some areas, thousands of calls have

:00:58. > :01:01.been left unanswered, and inappropriate referrals have put a

:01:01. > :01:03.huge strain on ambulances and hospitals. Now 111 won't go live in

:01:03. > :01:13.Devon until September. Our Health Correspondent Sally Mountjoy has

:01:13. > :01:19.

:01:19. > :01:23.more. This is the call centre for the nature tes one2one service in

:01:23. > :01:29.Somerset. The phoneline has been operating here and Dorset since

:01:29. > :01:32.earlier this year, but unexpected high demand created problems. Over

:01:32. > :01:38.the Easter weekend one in eight callers in Somerset and one in three

:01:38. > :01:42.in Dorset couldn't get through, or abandoned their call. But now things

:01:42. > :01:45.have improve. Devon was due to launch the service this month, but

:01:45. > :01:51.has today announced a delay until September. We found that elsewhere

:01:52. > :01:56.in the country there were problems with people being sent to the wrong

:01:56. > :02:01.place and perhaps the advice given wasn't appropriate and we're trying

:02:01. > :02:08.to learn from those mistakes and make sure it does not happen in

:02:08. > :02:14.Devon. For emergencies, 999 is still the number to cull -call, but the

:02:14. > :02:20.111 line points people to the right service. But in some parts of the

:02:20. > :02:24.country, the start of 111 led to a big increase in hospital visits and

:02:24. > :02:27.ambulance call-outs. In the South West the long cold winter has put

:02:28. > :02:32.these service under strain and there has been concern in Devon and

:02:33. > :02:37.Cornwall that 111 would add to the pressure. Cornwall has postponed the

:02:37. > :02:42.launch and still hasn't announced a new date. The South West ambulance

:02:42. > :02:47.trust is already running 111 in Dorset and will run the service in

:02:47. > :02:51.Devon. The ambulance you yob said the -- union said the area will

:02:51. > :02:55.benefit from the experience elsewhere. We have learned a great

:02:55. > :02:59.deal from the problems. To ensure that the same does not happen in

:02:59. > :03:02.Devon. We provide the service in Dorset and we have a good record

:03:02. > :03:08.there and the experiences we have achieved there will be passed

:03:08. > :03:18.through into Devon. Family doctors have been concerned about the roll

:03:18. > :03:20.

:03:20. > :03:27.ot of one2one, claiming -- 111 saying that they welcome the

:03:27. > :03:32.decision to delay the launch. The help looiven will be rolled ---line

:03:32. > :03:41.will be rolled out in stages from September. It is hoped the service

:03:41. > :03:45.will have a trouble-free lunch. -- launch Work has begun today to

:03:45. > :03:48.stabilise a road hit by a landslip at Looe in Cornwall. In December 200

:03:48. > :03:52.homes were cut off when the fall closed the busy Hannafore Road in

:03:52. > :03:55.West Looe. It was the first of two landslips in the town last winter.

:03:55. > :03:57.In March, 68-year-old Susan Norman died when her house by St Martin's

:03:57. > :04:00.Road in East Looe collapsed after torrential rain. Alison Johns

:04:00. > :04:04.reports Just two weeks ago - before half term - the Government was

:04:04. > :04:14.warning of the dangers of taking a disposable barbeque inside a tent in

:04:14. > :04:16.

:04:16. > :04:19.cliff face. You look out and you are looking for cracks, because we had

:04:19. > :04:24.some wild weather and you have never been sure when they were going to

:04:24. > :04:33.come back. But of course the tragedy of St Martins, we didn't want to be

:04:33. > :04:38.under a pile of bricks either. Norman died after her block of flats

:04:38. > :04:42.collapsed. The road has been closed since, although the main A-road has

:04:42. > :04:45.re-opened. Businesses in Looe have formed a new group to get the

:04:45. > :04:51.message across that the town is still open. We have all suffered

:04:51. > :04:56.over the last few months. We have had terrible problems with land

:04:56. > :05:00.slips and road closures, the perception has gone out there that

:05:00. > :05:06.the road has been closed for business. This has never been the

:05:06. > :05:12.case, but we really are trying to get the message that Looe is very

:05:12. > :05:17.much open for business and a great place to come to. Cornwall Council

:05:17. > :05:21.says the bad weather led to so many land slips it's having to prioritise

:05:21. > :05:26.its work. We have experienced significant damage. We had heavy

:05:26. > :05:32.rain fall in November, again in December, and again recently in

:05:32. > :05:36.March and that has given us a sort of bill in the order of �of to �7

:05:36. > :05:41.million. It is a significant amount of work. We will get it all done.

:05:41. > :05:47.Just along the coast at another town, business had been affected

:05:47. > :05:51.sips part of car rk -- since part of car park has been fenced off since

:05:51. > :05:57.cracks appeared. In the great scheme of thing, we have lost maybe a third

:05:57. > :06:01.of the car park. But there was a poor woman in Looe died, so it puts

:06:01. > :06:05.things in perspective. We will carry on trading It does have an effect,

:06:05. > :06:09.but that is how it goes. The message from Cornwall Council is the work

:06:09. > :06:19.will all be done, but they are having to prioritise it. The message

:06:19. > :06:20.

:06:20. > :06:28.from businesses both in Looe and here is we are open. Just before

:06:28. > :06:34.half term, the Government warned of the dangers of taking a disposable

:06:34. > :06:37.barbecue inside a tent, because of the danger of carbon dioxide. But

:06:37. > :06:40.lifeguards in Devon are now urging people to be aware of another risk

:06:40. > :06:42.after a four-year-old was badly burnt by sand which had become

:06:42. > :06:45.extremely hot although she was quickly treated. From Exmouth beach,

:06:45. > :06:48.Leigh Rundle reports. Well this is the type of thing we are talking

:06:48. > :06:50.about- a standard disposable barbecue. In the summer, they're

:06:50. > :06:53.extremely popular, largely because they're so light and easy to

:06:53. > :06:59.transport. But they can also be very dangerous if they're not disposed of

:06:59. > :07:02.properly. Surprisingly the injuries to the child's hand and feet weren't

:07:02. > :07:08.caused by the barbecue itself, but by burning hot sand under where the

:07:08. > :07:11.tray had been placed while cooking. The victim and her family had

:07:11. > :07:14.settled themselves on an area of beach near the town's lifeboat

:07:14. > :07:22.station when the accident happened. First on the scene were volunteer

:07:22. > :07:24.lifeguards from the local beach rescue club. Unfortunately the sand

:07:24. > :07:28.below these barbecues gets extremely hot and the little girl stumbled

:07:28. > :07:34.across the sand the hash cue had been on and put her hand down as

:07:34. > :07:36.well. So she ended up with burns to her feet and her hand. These types

:07:36. > :07:40.of disposable barbecue do contain warnings, but mostly relating to

:07:40. > :07:45.carbon dioxide poisoning. Other safety issues can easily be

:07:46. > :07:48.overlooked. I think they're more dangerous after the barbecue,

:07:48. > :07:51.because while you're doing it, everybody's watching children,

:07:51. > :07:54.whereas when you have finished, I think that is when they're most

:07:54. > :08:00.dangerous really. Michele is also on holiday with her grandchildren, how

:08:00. > :08:03.clued up is she when it comes to post barbecue safety. I think sand

:08:03. > :08:06.would cool it down, because there is no oxygen, so it's going to cool

:08:06. > :08:09.down quickly. But you wouldn't actually do it where you're sitting,

:08:09. > :08:15.you would do your barbecue a little further away from where you're

:08:15. > :08:18.sitting with the children. If people do use a disposable barbecue, one is

:08:18. > :08:27.they let it cool down, keeping children and pets away from that

:08:27. > :08:32.area. Then disrupt that sand area, maybe a dig a hole and spread the

:08:32. > :08:39.sand around so it dispenses with that heat. And disposal of the box

:08:39. > :08:42.itself next to the rubbish bin and not in them. Work has started today

:08:42. > :08:47.on a multi-million pound scheme to protect people living near three

:08:47. > :08:49.Dartmoor reservoirs from the threat of large scale flooding. The work is

:08:49. > :08:54.taking place at the Kennick, Tottiford and Trenchford reservoirs,

:08:54. > :08:57.near Bovey Tracey. It'll involve the enlargement of overspill drainage

:08:57. > :09:00.channels which are designed to safely release water during flood

:09:00. > :09:02.conditions. Members of the GMB union have been discussing the

:09:02. > :09:08.controversial process of blacklisting at their national

:09:08. > :09:10.congress in Plymouth today. The GMB said many workers had their job

:09:10. > :09:15.prospects destroyed by being placed on the blacklist, often for raising

:09:15. > :09:18.questions about health and safety issues on building sites. One worker

:09:18. > :09:22.whose name was on the blacklist was given a standing ovation after

:09:22. > :09:29.revealing he hasn't worked for a major building firm for more than 20

:09:29. > :09:37.years. Finance nationally it made -- financially it made life difficult

:09:37. > :09:42.and it makes you wary and you wonder how long will yo you be on a job.

:09:42. > :09:44.You're worried your past will come back to haunt you. 34 people died on

:09:45. > :09:47.Devon's roads last year, according to provisional figures released by

:09:47. > :09:51.the County Council. Eight of them were motorcycle riders. Although

:09:51. > :09:53.bikers make up only 1% of traffic, they account for around a quarter of

:09:53. > :09:57.deaths on Devon's roads. Now the county council is urging bikers to

:09:57. > :10:07.take extra care, and have produced an online guide to help people ride

:10:07. > :10:08.

:10:08. > :10:11.more safely. A giant new nature reserve has just opened to the

:10:11. > :10:14.public in North Devon. What was once a large china clay quarry has become

:10:14. > :10:16.an attraction for locals and visitors which it's hoped will

:10:16. > :10:19.benefit the economy and wildlife. Our Environment Correspondent Adrian

:10:19. > :10:22.Campbell has been to take a look. Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve is large

:10:22. > :10:28.by anybody's standards and it's just opened its gates to the public for

:10:28. > :10:35.the first game. Pond-dipping was one of the attractions at this massive

:10:35. > :10:41.new nature reserve being run by the Devon Wildlife Trust. Look at the

:10:41. > :10:45.size of him- he will even eat your newt. How about that? John Lloyd

:10:45. > :10:49.worked here for 22 years and he said he is pleased with the way the

:10:49. > :10:51.wildlife Trust has taken over. is the culmination, the clay's

:10:51. > :10:57.worked out and now we have a magnificent wildlife environment for

:10:57. > :11:00.everybody to enjoy. The Devon Wildlife Trust was keen to

:11:00. > :11:04.incorporate the old buildings which date from the time when this was a

:11:04. > :11:07.China clay quarry and they're also keen to tie in with the Tarka Trail,

:11:07. > :11:14.which is great news for cyclists. And there are new attractions for

:11:14. > :11:18.walkers as well. The deer here is one of the sculptures in the areas,

:11:18. > :11:21.aspect of interest, that we put around the site. The reason we

:11:21. > :11:27.developed Meeth for public access is we want more people to engage with

:11:27. > :11:30.wildlife, value it, take steps to protect it. You can look through the

:11:30. > :11:34.woodland, you can see the deer, the dragonflies and hopefully it will

:11:34. > :11:40.lure you in to have a look and and enjoy the site. Hundreds of people

:11:40. > :11:43.have already visited, including Phyllis and Ann. I'm sure it it will

:11:43. > :11:49.look lovely in a few years time. It looks, what I have seen so far,

:11:49. > :11:57.looks to be great. I'm a member of the Wildlife Trust and that is how I

:11:57. > :12:00.got to hear about the open day and I'm thrilled about it. This is a

:12:00. > :12:10.very big addition to the Devon Wildlife Trust's network of reserves

:12:10. > :12:12.

:12:12. > :12:16.and already it is proving very popular. Thanks for joining us this

:12:16. > :12:20.evening. Still ahead tonight: The South West yachtsmen taking on the

:12:20. > :12:30.rest of the world in Europe. And the little overseas visitor giving staff

:12:30. > :12:31.

:12:31. > :12:33.at an organic fruit and veg company a big surprise. The challenges of

:12:33. > :12:36.treating dangerously ill patients are being put to the test at The

:12:36. > :12:39.Royal Cornwall Hospital. Staff have been taking part in a pilot project,

:12:39. > :12:41.which sees them treating simulated patients in wards and emergency

:12:41. > :12:50.rooms. As Spotlight's Philippa Mina reports, the realistic scenarios

:12:50. > :12:55.provide valuable lessons in how to improve care. This is Charlie and

:12:55. > :12:58.he's come into intensive care with serious problems. He has come into

:12:58. > :13:07.hospital with meningitis and now is developing some septicaemia and it

:13:07. > :13:09.actually going to get quite ill during this scenario. Charlie is a

:13:09. > :13:12.SimBaby and can be programmed to mimic all manner of medical

:13:12. > :13:14.problems. By taking mannequins around and around hospital wards,

:13:14. > :13:23.and intensive care units, staff are given realistic experience of both

:13:23. > :13:26.the clinical and emotional challenges they may face.

:13:26. > :13:30.mannequins are so realistic and they react the way you expect them to

:13:30. > :13:33.react and they breathe and they have a heart rate and everything else

:13:33. > :13:39.that you'd expect in a real patient. You find yourself thinking this is a

:13:39. > :13:42.real child who is sick. Last year we have seen a couple of

:13:42. > :13:44.meningococcals, so it does actually help to run it through in a safe,

:13:44. > :13:52.controlled environment, where if things highlight that things have

:13:52. > :13:56.not gone as smoothy, we can look at where we can improve as a team.

:13:56. > :13:59.were able to drop into a ward area, deliver a session with the staff

:13:59. > :14:02.working on that ward that day, run a debriefing session and then get out

:14:02. > :14:06.of that ward area again. This is really unique. There are very few

:14:06. > :14:08.areas in the country that are able to do that. Today, the team

:14:08. > :14:18.responded swiftly and stabilised Charlie, gaining valuable skills

:14:18. > :14:18.

:14:18. > :14:21.that in reality could mean the difference between life and death. A

:14:21. > :14:26.campaign to tackle the rise in overweight children has been

:14:26. > :14:29.launched in mid Devon today. Nearly one in ten of the four to

:14:29. > :14:31.five-year-olds in the Culm Valley were classed as obese when they

:14:31. > :14:38.started primary school - that's higher than Devon's average.

:14:38. > :14:41.Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has the story. Tucking into a healthy snack.

:14:41. > :14:45.This is day one of a month-long campaign on the importance of a

:14:45. > :14:51.balanced diet and exercise. A recent survey found that 9% of the four to

:14:51. > :14:54.five-year-olds starting school here in the Culm Valley are obese.

:14:54. > :14:57.don't think it's anything generally about this area in particular, it

:14:57. > :15:00.just so happens that the statistics seem a little bit higher. But I

:15:00. > :15:08.don't think we can put it down to any single factor around incomes or

:15:08. > :15:12.poverty necessarily. The parents here seemed fairly clued up, but

:15:12. > :15:17.said they are noticing more and more overweight children in the area.

:15:17. > :15:22.Unfortunately there are. The bottom line is it's convenience sometimes

:15:22. > :15:25.not to eat healthily. You get home and if you're a busy mum, what shall

:15:25. > :15:28.we do for tea, there's something in the freezer, we'll just pop that in

:15:28. > :15:31.the oven, it is easy and it's convenient. This hopefully will

:15:31. > :15:34.bring awareness to people if they keep going the way they're going,

:15:34. > :15:40.our country's just going to be a country of a lot of overweight

:15:40. > :15:43.people. Really scary. I do know some children, yes, and it is difficult,

:15:43. > :15:53.because you don't think you say as another parent perhaps, unless they

:15:53. > :15:53.

:15:53. > :15:56.ask you for advice, but I do think it is becoming a problem definitely.

:15:56. > :16:03.Today's all about trying out something new. No, not all healthy

:16:03. > :16:08.food is to everyone's taste. But the hope is this campaign will help to

:16:08. > :16:13.create a healthier society for the future. What we need to do here is

:16:13. > :16:17.make a difference for the teenagers and adults for the future. If we

:16:17. > :16:20.want to do that we have to change people's habits when they're little

:16:20. > :16:25.and we need mums and dads to cook the right things for their kids-

:16:25. > :16:28.more fruit and veg, less stodge. We need to start now. The eat healthy

:16:28. > :16:36.campaign it being backed by some local food shops who are offering a

:16:36. > :16:38.discount to encourage a healthier diet. Despite suffering from

:16:38. > :16:43.multiple sclerosis, a Devon triathlete has become British

:16:43. > :16:46.champion and has qualified for next years World Championships in London.

:16:46. > :16:49.37-year-old Trish Deykin from Milton Combe won gold in her age group at

:16:49. > :16:51.Holme Pierre Point in Nottingham over the weekend after recording

:16:51. > :17:00.excellent times in swimming, cycling and running. Next week,Trish will

:17:00. > :17:03.wear the Great Britain vest in the European Championships in Turkey.

:17:03. > :17:06.Now the French word Solitaire means lonesome and while two yachtsman

:17:06. > :17:10.from the South West competing in the Solitaire du Figaro race will no

:17:10. > :17:13.doubt be feeling every bit on their own now the solo race has begin -

:17:13. > :17:16.they are in the company of some of the world's best sailors. They set

:17:16. > :17:22.off from Bordeaux yesterday as one of the highlights of the French

:17:22. > :17:28.racing calendar got underway. Andy Breare reports. Conditions were

:17:28. > :17:32.perfect at yesterday's start as 41 skippers started the 2,000 mile La

:17:32. > :17:37.Solitaire du Figaro. For Sam, this is a big race and part of his

:17:37. > :17:41.campaign towards competing in the next around the world race. At

:17:41. > :17:50.yesterday's start, he lined up alongside a world class fleet,

:17:50. > :17:55.including the only person to win the title twice. Looking forward to

:17:55. > :18:05.getting into it. We have been here a week and now it's time to get opt

:18:05. > :18:07.

:18:07. > :18:11.road and get -- on the road and get going. The tough test part will be

:18:11. > :18:19.the sleeping. And it is going to be a bit of everything and sleeping

:18:19. > :18:29.with the spin Kerr up is not easy. The La Solitaire du Figaro is a race

:18:29. > :18:30.

:18:30. > :18:34.around the French and Spanish coast. For a year this has been my goal to

:18:34. > :18:39.be here and to improve my particle from last year and -- performance

:18:39. > :18:49.from last year. The first leg should take just a few days, with the whole

:18:49. > :18:51.

:18:51. > :18:59.race being contested over the next three weeks. And to give you an

:18:59. > :19:03.updat Sam is now in 14th with Henry three places behind in 17th. Some of

:19:03. > :19:06.stories of human endeavour from the Second World War are well known -

:19:06. > :19:09.others less so. But the efforts of the crew on board one stricken plane

:19:09. > :19:14.and the villagers who came to its rescue will now be remembered

:19:14. > :19:18.forever. Locals came out onto a Cornish beach close to where the

:19:18. > :19:22.aircraft came down. It'd not only taken on an entire squadron of

:19:22. > :19:28.German fighters and won but managed to limp 300 miles home. A memorial

:19:28. > :19:31.stone now stands close by. Graham Smith reports. The flying Sunderland

:19:31. > :19:34.played a pivotal role in the Second World War. Despite lacking the speed

:19:34. > :19:36.or manoeuvrability of aircraft like the Spitfire and Hurricane, its

:19:36. > :19:39.anti-submarine missions were crucial. On 2nd June 1943, the two

:19:39. > :19:44.Australian and British RAF crew of 461 squadron were attacked by eight

:19:44. > :19:52.German fighters over the Bay of Biscay. The Sunderland shot down

:19:52. > :19:58.three of the German aircraft, the others fled. But during the

:19:58. > :20:02.45-minute engagement, the Sunderland had been shot to pieces. Most of the

:20:02. > :20:05.crew were injured, flight engineer Ted Miles had been killed. Yet,

:20:05. > :20:08.despite being on fire, one of his engines gone and his aircraft full

:20:08. > :20:17.of holes from machine gun and cannon, pilot Colin Walker managed

:20:17. > :20:20.to fly 300 miles before being forced to ditch near Helston. It is like

:20:20. > :20:25.reading something out of Boy's Own. They made it this far and they

:20:25. > :20:29.thought they were going to land on water. While they were on board they

:20:29. > :20:35.had to use every bit of kit that had if they landed on water to give them

:20:35. > :20:37.enough time to get off. If this battle had involved an American

:20:37. > :20:39.aircraft, then Hollywood would surely have embraced its dramatic

:20:39. > :20:42.narrative, yet with typical understatement, and despite

:20:42. > :20:45.garlanding the surviving crew with medals, the British and Australian

:20:45. > :20:50.authorities at the time seemed to have viewed it as all in a day's

:20:50. > :20:54.work. It is a reminder to all of us when we put on our uniform and we go

:20:54. > :21:03.into work we are just doing the job that we were trained to do and that

:21:03. > :21:07.is all these men did. Many of those attending yesterday's memorial had

:21:07. > :21:15.travelled from Australia to remember their relatives. I guess they were

:21:15. > :21:20.all so modest and didn't want to talk about the war. But it was the

:21:20. > :21:23.whole crew they acted as one and they were just a wonderful team.

:21:23. > :21:31.role of villagers who helped pull the crew from the wreckage was also

:21:31. > :21:34.remembered. The pilot first of all landed and then he beached so it

:21:34. > :21:42.that gave him time to get down, but they actually came down before they

:21:42. > :21:49.got out of the water. They offered them tea. All sorts of things. One

:21:49. > :21:52.lady was going around asking if they wanted a glass of whisky.

:21:52. > :21:55.memorial service had taken 18 months to organise and people travelled the

:21:55. > :22:05.world to be there. They heard a story of ordinary men who had done

:22:05. > :22:07.

:22:07. > :22:11.something quite extraordinary. Workers at a company which produces

:22:11. > :22:16.organic fruit and veg boxes in Devon got a shock recently when a lizard

:22:16. > :22:19.popped out from a crate of bananas. The small reptile is thought to have

:22:19. > :22:24.travelled with the fruit all the way from the Caribbean. John Danks has

:22:24. > :22:29.the story. It was just another day on the packing line here at

:22:29. > :22:35.Riverford near Buckfastleigh. Into the veg box went the lettuce,

:22:35. > :22:39.spinach, bananas and nearly something else. A lady was reaching

:22:39. > :22:42.for the bananas, she was unloading a box and she was pretty much at the

:22:42. > :22:45.bottom when something ran over her fingers. That something was a small

:22:45. > :22:47.green lizard, it had stowed away with fruit that had been transported

:22:47. > :22:54.almost 5,000 miles from the Dominican Republic, surviving not

:22:54. > :22:57.only the cold, but the harvesting process too. The big bunches of

:22:57. > :23:02.bananas come in from the farms themselves and they go into big

:23:02. > :23:05.baths of water, where they get washed. So any insects that might be

:23:05. > :23:08.there, being an organic farm, we do encourage wildlife, so there might

:23:08. > :23:12.be insects so that is what the lizard was eating. They get all

:23:12. > :23:16.washed off, but I think he must have been tucked right into a bunch of

:23:16. > :23:19.bananas somewhere, because he hung on in there and made it all the way

:23:19. > :23:24.here. The next stop was Paignton Zoo where keepers were able to identify

:23:25. > :23:28.it and where the lizard will be kept in quarantine for six months.

:23:28. > :23:31.from the family iguana, so it's one of maybe two or three hundred

:23:31. > :23:40.species, but we have narrowed it down to Dominican Republic, so we

:23:40. > :23:44.will do a bit of research and find out exactly what species it is.

:23:44. > :23:47.out of the banana box and into the zoo - keepers say this long distance

:23:47. > :23:57.lizard will most likely ends up being homed in one of their tropical

:23:57. > :23:58.

:23:58. > :24:05.houses. I hope he makes himself at home. Do you think he came for the

:24:05. > :24:09.hot weather? We may have drawn him in. Yes there is more fine weather

:24:09. > :24:14.in. Yes there is more fine weather on the way. Temperatures on rise, we

:24:14. > :24:19.have had 20 degrees today, we could get 22 tomorrow and there is not a

:24:19. > :24:23.great deal of change for the rest of the week. It is dry, fine and warm

:24:23. > :24:28.with plenty of sunshine. Compared to the last couple of years when June

:24:28. > :24:35.has been particularly wet, we are doing very well. This line of cloud

:24:35. > :24:39.here is not getting any closer. Some dreadful weather over Europe, this

:24:39. > :24:45.cloud has been generating some wet weather. But we have high pressure

:24:45. > :24:48.and it sticks around this week. It may move around, gradually moving

:24:48. > :24:52.away during the night and at first tomorrow morning, but comes back for

:24:52. > :24:57.the middle of the week. We keep high pressure and a lot of dry weather

:24:57. > :25:01.and yes, we will see more sunshine. Sunshine has been out for most of us

:25:01. > :25:07.today. There has been some cloud during the afternoon. That is now

:25:07. > :25:14.melting away. This is earlier today in Cornwall, where it it was a

:25:14. > :25:19.beautiful day and surprisingly not many people on the beach. A lovely

:25:19. > :25:29.day, plenty of blue skies. The same in Plymouth. We have had more of a

:25:29. > :25:33.breeze along the south coast. But strong sunshine Scottishes please --

:25:33. > :25:36.so please take it easy, because the sunshine is strong. Tonight we have

:25:36. > :25:44.a fair amount of clear sky developing. Just towards dawn

:25:44. > :25:51.tomorrow we will see a few mist or fog patches. But they won't spoil

:25:51. > :25:55.the day. Most of that will disappear. It is a fine day, but a

:25:55. > :25:59.chilly start at seven degrees. But tomorrow is fine with a lot of

:25:59. > :26:04.sunshine. Towards the end of the afternoon perhaps a build up of fair

:26:04. > :26:13.weather cloud across Cornwall and central parts of Devon. But most of

:26:13. > :26:19.us will have a lot of sunshine and warmer too. A bit cool along the

:26:19. > :26:26.coastline here at 15 degrees. But inland it is 21. That is 70

:26:26. > :26:30.Fahrenheit. For the Isles of Scilly, a keep breeze from the east holding

:26:30. > :26:40.temperatures down to 15. But unbroken sunshine. Times of high

:26:40. > :26:46.

:26:46. > :26:51.was in the sea over the weekend and it is chilly, sea temperatures about

:26:51. > :26:56.11 degrees. For the coastal waters forecast, there is more of a breeze

:26:56. > :27:06.developing in the second half of the day, easterly force three or four,

:27:06. > :27:11.mainly fair, perhaps picking up to force five along the south coast. If

:27:11. > :27:19.you're enjoying this fine weather and are outside, the pollen is high

:27:19. > :27:23.and the UV is at six, which is high. That is the forecast for the rest of

:27:23. > :27:29.the week. Not much change. A bit warmer each day. Very small chance
