after days of discoloured tap water. Hello, welcome to Spotlight. South | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
West Water says the supply is safe, but many people say they're still | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
concerned about the quality. I don't particularly want to drink | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
it and if you think about the amount of money we pay for our money, why | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
are we paying for dirty water to come through our taps? The row over | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
the rest cancer drug trials in Cornwall. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Patients have been denied it, despite claims of exceptional | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
results. Richard Branson is reunited with his | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
record-breaking boat. It is magnificent. I feel like we have | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
just crossed the Atlantic. It is delightful, and what a beautiful day | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
for it. Angry customers in parts of North | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Devon and Cornwall say they still have concerns about the quality of | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
their tap water despite reassurances from South West Water. Supplies | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
around Bude and Clovelley have turned yellow or brown over the last | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
few days. South West Water has apologised and says it's working to | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
:01:28. | :01:28. | ||
fix the problem and that the water is safe. Simon Clemison reports. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Relied upon, rarely thought about, until the water comes out this | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
colour... The company piping to people's comes says it is not | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
harmful. Would you want to drink it, let alone be thin at's it looks like | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
some of the already has! Element I don't particularly want to drink it. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Think about the amount of money we pay for water in the south-west, why | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
am I paying for dirty water? It may look dirty, but South West Water | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
says the element causing the problem is always in the supply and other | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
levels are not hazardous. This is like a giant tap and they are | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
running the water to try and clear the XS manganese. You cannot see | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
it, but if I use this white bucket, you can see it is still pretty | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
discovered. Dozens of you have contacted us about the issue. These | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
are some of the pictures we have received. The type of rainfall we | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:39. | ||
have had recently is said to be to correct the imbalance. You are still | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
dragging bottled water, why is that? I am worried, because it still looks | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
very yellow. They tell me that nobody should be drinking it in | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
great quantities. What do you think about that? The fact that they are | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
saying that at all seems to be slightly worrying. Did they cause | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
alarm? They definitely have caused alarm by the way they handled it. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
The handling of the situation has been appalling. I am sorry if | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
customers are getting mixed messages. During the last few days, | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
we identified the cause. It is very difficult to be definitive about | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
what the problem is until we have investigated fully. This may be a | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
problem of managing perception rather than reality, but is perhaps | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
worse than reality. Bude is just a short distance from Camelford, where | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
there was a serious incident 25 years ago. | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
Meanwhile the quality of bathing water is coming under closer | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
scrutiny. 11 popular South West beaches are taking part in a pilot | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
scheme to inform bathers when it's safe to swim in the sea. Seven | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
beaches in Devon and four in Cornwall have joined the initiative, | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
which is run by local people. It gives early warning of what's called | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
"short term pollution," when run-off from farm land or sewage flow into | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
the sea, affecting bathing water quality for less than 72 hours. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Leigh Rundle went to Hele Bay in Ilfracombe to find out more | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Following heavy rain, breaking waves are brown with agricultural run-off | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
from the fields, but locals are wading in. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
They will update this sign every day. It displays a smiley face when | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
it is safe to swim, and a don't swim symbol if the water quality is | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
likely to be poor. I think everybody likes to know that they can swim on | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
a safe beach, water quality wise it is quite important for parents with | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
young children. Hele Bay in Ilfracombe is one of 30 locations | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
nationally taking part. Holiday-makers are impressed. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
sea is so manky, you don't know what's in there. If it has been | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
tested and you know it is clean for them to swim in, that is great | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
stuff. You can see when you are driving along how muddy it is, and | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
it is much cleaner further out. Definitely, it is every good idea. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Water quality is mostly good, but a daily check with the Environment | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
Agency makes sure. This was voted on by the community group to take part | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
in this. We hope it will help improve water quality and that we | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
will be at the forefront of when decisions are made to improve water | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
quality. It affects our environment, our locals, our tourist industry. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
is being driven by new tougher EU regulations and for Hele Bay, it is | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
sink or swim. If we don't meet the EU standards, a sign will go up on | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
the front of the beach to advise people not to come swimming on the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
beach. Or we could have the beach designated as a non-swimming beach, | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
which would have a major effect. nature of the landscape in North | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Devon, with its steep cliffs and valleys means that you are never | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
going to eradicate agricultural run-off altogether. This represents | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
a local community coming together to find a solution to the problem. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Two women who occupied a care home in protest against unpaid wages have | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
been ordered to leave by a judge, but say they will continue their | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
battle against its owner. Rosemary Parker and Launa Llewellyn-Jones | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
exposed poor standards at the Park View home in Plymouth, and were then | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
sacked. Our home affairs correspondent Simon Hall reports | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
from Plymouth County Court. The women's cause has won | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
considerable sympathy and today, friends and well-wishers gathered at | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
court for the eviction hearing. Thank you for your support. Hello. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
They have been occupying a care home in protest at unpaid wages, but that | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
is a principle, not the law. They lost and were ordered to leave. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
feel upset, with the judge saying we have to leave at three o'clock | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
today. We are just going to carry on and be strong and get as much about | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
as we can, myself and Launa. women spent a week occupying Park | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
View in Plymouth. They lost their jobs after reporting concerns about | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
the way residents were being treated. They won an employment | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
tribunal against the company and the owner, Nick Chapman, sharing | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
�40,000, but haven't been paid. Obeying the eviction order, they | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
remain defiant. We got our voices out there to let people know what | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
Nick Chapman is like, so we did win in a subtle way. Today will not be | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
the end of all that. Did you really achieve anything? Yes, we did, we | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
did achieve something. We had a week to do it, didn't we? We have the | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
papers to stop Nick Chapman ever opening a care home again.The | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
occupation protest will leave them further out of pocket. Costs of �800 | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
were awarded against them. Mr Chapman was not in court and has not | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
responded to our request for an interview, but his barrister told | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
the hearing the women had no legal right to be in the home and no | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
defence for being here. The judge agreed, but he did say he could see | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
how some people might have to sympathy with the pair. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
A cancer drug being trialled in Cornwall won't be made available on | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
the NHS, despite having what one clinical oncologist has described as | :08:21. | :08:30. | |
exceptional results. The clinical body NICE, which is advising the NHS | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
on drugs, says the effectiveness of the medicine is unclear, and it's | :08:33. | :08:43. | |
expensive. Spotlight's John Ayres has more. | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
Susan developed breast cancer, which spread to other parts of her body. | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
She was offered the chance to take part in a trial of the drug agenda, | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
and she has been taking part in six months and her lungs have cleared | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
and her tumours have reduced. been fantastic, it is a fantastic | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
quality of life. The pain has gone, I have much more energy. Life is | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
very good, very good. I realise I am very, very lucky to have been | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
offered it. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
advises the NHS on drugs. Today, it issued draft guidance blocking | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
access to the drug, coming as a disappointment to a doctor heavily | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
involved in making the drug trial available for Cornish patients. | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
magnitude of benefit is unprecedented. There is six months | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
longer it keeps cards acquired for, we do not know how much longer it | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
keeps people alive because patients are doing so well that we have not | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
got on average. In a statement, the chief executive of National | :10:05. | :10:15. | |

After the rainfall of the last couple of days, today has been | :10:54. | :10:57. | |

Devon and Somerset's fire chief has robustly defended his decision to | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
take on an extra job for the Welsh government. Lee Howell has been | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
criticised for taking on the advisory role at a time when five | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
million pounds of cuts to the fire service here are being implemented. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
The Welsh Government is paying the Devon and Somerset Fire Service for | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
Mr Howell's time and earlier he told me his new job is good news for our | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
region. This is a really prestigious | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
appointment and I am delighted to have been appointed to this rule. It | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
is great for Devon and summer at and it is good for us to learn from the | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
Welsh government and the Fire Services as of -- of Wales. I am | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
taking on additional work for no personal gain. It is in addition to | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
the work I am doing. Many other Chief Fire Officer do a similar job | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
in other areas. I do not see what the fuss is about. You will not be | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
available for two days a week, presumably. It will be in charge? | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
The arrangement with the Welsh Government would ensure that if my | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
priority is in Devon and Somerset I will continue to be there. It is an | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
advisory role, not a delivery role. I can be available at the end of a | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
phone, or can be contacted by e-mail or video conferencing. The issue is | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
not the physical location, it is the fact that there are many issues I am | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
dealing with in Devon and Somerset and in that context they will be of | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
benefit to the Welsh Government. say you do not know what the fuss is | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
about, but do you not accept concentration will not be on Devon | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
and Somerset at a time when cops are being implemented, you are not | :12:57. | :13:07. | |
:13:07. | :13:07. | ||
giving your all to the job? -- when cops are being implemented. | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
priorities for Devon and Somerset are quite clear, it is about | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
firefighter safety and then implementing significant changes | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
that we have had discussion on recently. The fire authority made | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
the decision and we are in the process of implementing those. It | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
remains a priority for me and the service. In addition to that, we | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
have the ability to draw in additional income that if I had not | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
taken this rule would not have been available to us. -- if I had not | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
taken this rule. It's nearly six months since 300 | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
jobs were lost at Axminster Carpets. Today, the company's back on its | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
feet and taking on new staff again. But many of those who lost their | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
jobs are still out of work. As part of a special series, Spotlight's | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
Andrea Ormsby's been back to Axminster to follow some of those | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
made redundant and to find out how they're getting on with finding a | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
:14:05. | :14:06. | ||
new job. Friday, 14th June. Julie is on her | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
way to All Saints Primary School in Axminster. She works to Mike is a | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
week as a teaching assistant after losing her job at Axminster Carpets. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
I love being here. Losing my job was horrible, but it is brilliant being | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
black in the classroom. -- back in the classroom. It is only two days, | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
and I wish it could be more, but is good fun. Two weeks ago she was at a | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
jobs fair to try and find another part-time job to boost your income. | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
She applied to the Donkey Sanctuary and was feeling optimistic, but she | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
did not get it and there was more bad news to come. Plenty of people | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
who had made redundant from Axminster Carpets were there. | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
been looking online for prospective employment. I have applied for 50 | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
jobs. I have had three or four and Zeus saying I was unsuccessful. -- | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
three or four answers. You build yourself up and think it could be | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
the one, and then the letter comes back, but you have just got to get | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
on and try for the next one. A month and a half later and Julie is not so | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
positive. I feel more and more that I am less confident in my abilities. | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
I think, can I do these jobs? Can I go for that one? Always in the back | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
of my mind, I would love to think that at some time in the future I | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
could go back. I loved my job, I loved the people I worked with. It | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
was a dreadful day when we heard the news and I can only hope that they | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
will come back again, people. Buying Axminster Carpets and there will be | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
another job for me. -- people start buying. Julie is back on the hunt | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:19. | ||
for more work, but now it is not just part-time. I am off to a job | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
interview for a medical receptionist. I have got to do | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
because I have lost the job at school. The boy is moving about has | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
finished, so I will not go back in September, so I need to find | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
something else to fill the week. are you feeling? Devastating. I was | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
so upset on the last day. I really love that job. The interview done, | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
and Julie is not feeling positive. do not know that that went very | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
well. I should find out early next week, but I am not sure. I was so | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
nervous. Fingers crossed. I just don't know. After so much bad news | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
it is hard to be helpful. -- hopeful. | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
And we just heard Julie didn't get the job. We'll be back in Axminster | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
tomorrow for the third of our special reports, seeing how some | :17:13. | :17:22. | |
traders in the town say things are on the up. | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
Good luck for the future, Julie. Two South West football clubs have | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
the chance tonight to make the headlines in the first round of the | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Football League Cup. Exeter City attempt to oust Harry Redknapp's | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
Queen's Park Rangers from the competition, while Plymouth Argyle | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
go for glory at Birmingham City, winners of the trophy only two years | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
ago. John Ayres, who'll be covering Exeter's tie for BBC Radio Devon, is | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
at St James' Park. Exeter City got off to a fine start | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
at the weekend with a win over their West Country rivals, restore Rovers. | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
Tonight they have a cracker. They are playing Queens Park Rangers, | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
newly relegated from the league. You would think that they should win | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
this march confidently, but the league cup is one of those that can | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
produce upsets. Sometimes they do not give this the respect they ought | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
to and people can come a cropper against smaller teams, especially at | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
penalty. If they can get through to the next round, you can get sides | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
like Liverpool and Manchester United. Exeter City have got it all | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
to play for. All of the matches are all on your local radio station | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
tonight. Youngsters in Cornwall have had the | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
chance of a lifetime, after getting a training session with Olympic and | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Paralympic medallists. The Olympians have been coaching in Newquay to | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
celebrate the 25th anniversary local club. -- of their local club. Their | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
aim is inspire youngsters to aim high. Jane Chandler reports. | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
Going for gold. Well, maybe in seven years' time. Double Olympic silver | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
medallist, Neil Adams, and Paralympian, Ben Quilter, who took | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
bronze in London, have really inspire these youngsters. It has | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
been quite cool. Obviously, growing up knowing that they are Olympians | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
and meeting them is quite cool. find it really awesome that we had | :19:16. | :19:25. | |
them in our Olympics. We have two wicked teachers. The training | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
session at the judo kwai were held over two days by Neil Adams. He won | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
his medals in 1980 and 1984 and now he is a coach. He provided | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
commentary for his sport at the London Olympics. Since the Games we | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
have so much interest, not just for judo but sport in general. It is to | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
push our own sport in the south west, where there are not as many | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
judo clubs as we would like, and to increase interest is the main aim. | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
Ben Quilter took bronze in 2013 despite an injury. I have not been | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
back training full-time. It is a long process. It has been great and | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
I went to the Anniversary Games at the Olympic Stadium. It was great to | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
be back at Olympic Park and see it in all its glory. By the looks of | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
it, we may be seeing more than one Olympic medallist coming out of | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
Cornwall in the next eight years! really want to go to the Olympics. | :20:22. | :20:32. | |
:20:32. | :20:32. | ||
It made me want to do it even more. An unusual reunion has taken place | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
in Cornwall today. The crew of Virgin Atlantic Challenger II had a | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
get together, 27 years after breaking the speed record for | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
crossing the Atlantic. Sir Richard Branson was onboard for the trip | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
from Plymouth to Fowey. Spotlights David George was on the water to | :20:49. | :20:59. | |
:20:59. | :21:06. | ||
meet them. Powering into Foley at 37 knots... | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
The original the 12 engines burning five gallons a mind. After years | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
virtually abandoned in a boat yard in Majorca, Virgin Atlantic | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Challenger II has been restored and is looking as good as ever. In the | :21:22. | :21:32. | |
:21:32. | :21:34. | ||
port, there was a big welcome from the shore. And in the air... | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
:21:44. | :21:44. | ||
Fantastic, look at this. It was in 1986 they crossed the Atlantic in | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
three days, ten hours and 40 minutes, breaking the record of the | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
Isles of Scilly and taking the blue ribbon. This is the first time the | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
crew have seen each other since then. It was great to see the crew. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
We had a little difficulty recognising each other, but we had | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
some incredible experiences. The first year we went for the record, | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
we sank just off the eyes of silly -- the Isles of Scilly. Then we | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
built a new boat and broke the record. The blue ribbon had been | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
helped by the Americans for a long time. The last time I was on this | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
boat was 27 years ago, when they did a victory cruise around the coast of | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
Cornwall. The navigator let me drive this boat from Newquay to Padstow. | :22:34. | :22:43. | |
It is great to be back. It was incredible pain, every ten seconds | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
you were crashing into something. They said, why didn't you stop? | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
Everyone said, I did not want to be the first to suggest that, so we | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
kept going. The new owner says he is not yet sure how she will be used, | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
but she will be moored in Plymouth and at least this iconic vote has | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
been saved. -- this iconic boat. I cannot believe it was 27 years | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
:23:24. | :23:26. | ||
crossing. They were very lucky. There have | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
been some showers, but for most of us the sunshine has been back, | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
particularly for those on the beach, where the sun has been shiny | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
pretty much throughout the day. Tomorrow is very similar. There may | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
be just a small chance of some slow-moving showers developing. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
Light winds and again, it will feel warm in the sunshine. Proper summer | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
weather, really. There is quite a lot of weather around the UK at the | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
moment. There is cloud up through the western side of Ireland giving | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
heavy rain. That will go down into the Bay of Biscay. Another area of | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
low pressure is over the northern part of the Pyrenees and will come | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
north, these two areas of low pressure pivoting around each other. | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
We may see showers through the endless channel overnight tonight | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
and across the channel islands. -- the English Channel tonight. For | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Thursday, a weak ridge of high pressure. This weather system is the | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
one that will produce patchy light rain, but it will be weak as it | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
crosses on Friday. It is replaced by sunny spells and the child of | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
showers. You can see from the latest satellite picture, there are showers | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
across Devon and Somerset. For the rest of us, a lovely end to the day. | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
Overnight the cloud will meant the way -- melt away. Tomorrow morning, | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
more clout comic through the English Channel. It will produce a shower in | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
the far south of Devon. For most of us, a fine and dry night, just a bit | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
misty. Overnight temperatures similar to last night. Tomorrow, | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
some sunshine. Patchy cloud briefly along the eastern channel with some | :25:16. | :25:24. | |
showers. Decent spells of sunshine, particularly along the coastline, | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
and temperatures getting up to around 21 degrees. The wind | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
direction is merely northerly, but we will see an onshore sea breeze | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
:25:43. | :26:10. | ||
Not a great deal for the surfers. The outlook... We will see showers | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
around on Friday briefly in the morning, before it improves to sunny | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
spells in the afternoon. A bit more of a breeze developing on Friday. | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
The weekend forecast looks reasonably quiet. There might be | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
showers around on Saturday but on the whole it is strike and typical | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
temperatures for the next few days, 20 or 21 degrees. | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
Now just before we go tonight, we'd like to tell you about our new | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
summer series which starts tomorrow.Justin and I, together with | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
some of our colleagues from BBC Radio Devon and BBC Radio Cornwall, | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
have been to explore places in the South West we've never been to | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
:26:53. | :26:54. | ||
before. Here's a little taste of I can't believe I have never been to | :26:54. | :27:03. | |
Lundy Island. Hello, my lovely. How are you? I am all right. Trig often | :27:03. | :27:13. | |
:27:13. | :27:14. | ||
is well-known for its foliage. Welcome to the castle. I use this | :27:14. | :27:23. | |
regularly, I am 125. Really? This is the first time I have ever set foot | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
on Samson. That is the Isles of Scilly, not the | :27:30. | :27:38. |
