:00:12. > :00:18.Tonight the Prime Minister tells Spotlight rural councils in the
:00:18. > :00:20.South West are funded fairly. Good evening David Cameron was
:00:21. > :00:29.responding to criticism from a Conservative council leader who says
:00:29. > :00:33.rural areas are losing out. I don't except that, we have had to make
:00:33. > :00:42.difficult decisions across the board and had to be fair between urban and
:00:42. > :00:45.rural areas. Also tonight, anger as Greenpeace workers are accused of
:00:45. > :00:49.piracy. Iain Rogers and his colleagues could
:00:49. > :00:51.be behind bars for up to two months, accused of piracy.
:00:51. > :00:54.Curtain up on a multi million pound refurbishment for Plymouth's Theatre
:00:54. > :00:57.Royal as War Horse sells out. And Scholes and goals — the
:00:57. > :01:05.Manchester United legend brings a unique football academy to
:01:05. > :01:08.Ivybridge. The Prime Minister has dashed
:01:08. > :01:10.longstanding hopes that the government will find more money for
:01:10. > :01:13.rural councils. Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs in the region
:01:13. > :01:17.say the current local government funding formula is hugely unfair to
:01:17. > :01:20.the countryside — and they believed ministers were sympathetic to their
:01:20. > :01:23.argument. Earlier this month Spotlight revealed the Conservative
:01:23. > :01:26.leader of Devon County Council had accused ministers of not being
:01:26. > :01:32.transparent about the scale of savings local councils were being
:01:32. > :01:35.asked to make. Now David Cameron has categorically dismissed the claims
:01:35. > :01:46.in an interview with our Political Editor Martyn Oates. This month, the
:01:46. > :01:50.Conservative leader of Devon county council otherwise impeccably loyal,
:01:50. > :01:54.said that ministers in Whitehall must be living in cloud cuckoo land
:01:54. > :01:57.to imagine that Devon could implement the funding settlement you
:01:57. > :02:01.have given them without involving substantial cuts to services and has
:02:01. > :02:05.written to the local government secretary in the strongest terms.
:02:05. > :02:09.This kind of person that says something like that, isn't there a
:02:09. > :02:13.chance that he is right that the government is wrong? We have asked
:02:13. > :02:17.local councils to do difficult things over the past three years,
:02:17. > :02:22.because we have had direct spending cuts. I would say that local
:02:22. > :02:26.government has done brilliantly at delivering efficiencies and
:02:26. > :02:35.redundancies —— reductions while providing great service. Overall, we
:02:35. > :02:39.are asking local government to spend 2.3% less, so I do not think it is
:02:39. > :02:43.impossible, what we are asking for, but it is difficult. You will be
:02:44. > :02:47.familiar with the criticism from your own MPs not about the pot
:02:47. > :02:50.getting smaller but the claim that the funding settlement formula
:02:50. > :02:55.grossly disadvantages in rural areas. It causes them problems and
:02:55. > :03:00.needs to be rated. Do you agree? I don't except that, we have had to
:03:00. > :03:03.make difficult decisions across—the—board and have to be fair
:03:03. > :03:11.between urban and brutal areas but all councils have had to do more. We
:03:11. > :03:16.have made changes to the funding system. Government MPs have been
:03:16. > :03:21.saying that you have broadened the divide, it has gotten worse. I don't
:03:21. > :03:26.except that, off in city areas are more dependent on drugs that council
:03:26. > :03:31.tax and the grand has not been reduced. I don't except that
:03:31. > :03:35.criticism. You are seeing, is it difficult for local councils because
:03:35. > :03:39.there is less money? Yes. We inherited an appalling deficit in
:03:39. > :03:43.huge debt and must deal with it, and that affect local councils as well
:03:43. > :03:47.as civil government. The one thing we have done is we have encouraged
:03:47. > :03:52.councils to freeze their council tax so that hard—working people are not
:03:52. > :03:55.pay more for the services they get. That is based on the notion that you
:03:55. > :04:00.in Whitehall know more about the specifics of the finances than the
:04:00. > :04:05.individual local authorities. He talked about localism giving
:04:05. > :04:08.councils more freedom, the councils are saying they should have more
:04:08. > :04:12.freedom but you have had more restrictive financial control from
:04:12. > :04:17.London and I have ever known. I simply don't accept that. We have
:04:17. > :04:20.taken off much of the ring fences on money that goes to local government,
:04:21. > :04:25.we have said it is your money and you can spend it more as you choose.
:04:25. > :04:28.That has been transformed since this government came to office. We have
:04:28. > :04:31.gotten rid of things like the regional assemblies and regional
:04:31. > :04:34.development agencies that took so much money away from local
:04:34. > :04:37.government and wasted so much money so I don't accept this. Obviously
:04:37. > :04:43.local councils face difficult decisions but we have demonstrated
:04:43. > :04:47.that they can freeze council tax and reduce spending but also deliver
:04:47. > :04:51.good services. It is a tough world we live in but businesses have to do
:04:51. > :04:55.this your energy about, always finding cost savings and improving
:04:55. > :05:00.services to the customer and that is what government must do. How can you
:05:00. > :05:03.say to every local authority with no knowledge of the individual
:05:03. > :05:06.financial circumstances that they should not exercise their major
:05:06. > :05:10.revenue raising power through the council tax? Let me take an example
:05:10. > :05:15.directly connected to the south—west, let's take Plymouth
:05:15. > :05:21.Council. This year it must spend £236 million. Last year it had £239
:05:21. > :05:27.million. That is a small reduction in a big budget and what they have
:05:27. > :05:31.to do in Plymouth is make sure that with that money they provide good
:05:31. > :05:35.services. Many families in the West Country have seen their income come
:05:35. > :05:39.down by much more than that as a minister I have to think about how I
:05:39. > :05:43.help hard—working families. The only way I can help them is to make sure
:05:43. > :05:48.that the government is taking less of their money and they are keeping
:05:48. > :05:52.more of their money. The prime minister talking to our political
:05:52. > :05:58.editor. He is with me now. This is significant, isn't it? Yes, riddled
:05:58. > :06:03.Tories and Lib Dems have long maintained that a Labour device this
:06:03. > :06:06.formula which severely disadvantages in rural areas. We have been furious
:06:06. > :06:11.at the Coalition that they have not closed the gap between rural and
:06:11. > :06:16.urban areas and they claim it has made changes that has made the gap
:06:16. > :06:19.bigger. Despite that, most of them have come onto this conviction that
:06:19. > :06:23.somehow ministers were sympathetic and listening and that if they just
:06:23. > :06:29.carried on lobbying long enough behind closed doors that they would
:06:29. > :06:34.get the changes they wanted. It is now clear that the Prime Minister
:06:34. > :06:37.like the Deputy Prime Minister has been absolutely categorical that he
:06:37. > :06:41.does not see there is a problem, that there is any unfairness to the
:06:41. > :06:45.address. It seems very unlikely under this government that any
:06:45. > :06:51.changes will be made. This is the reaction from one of his own MPs. I
:06:51. > :06:57.will be asking him to look at this again because clearly if he does not
:06:57. > :07:02.think that there is an imbalance then he needs to be made aware of
:07:02. > :07:08.the specific areas where there is an imbalance and where it is causing
:07:08. > :07:14.problems for the rule councils, so that he understands it a little bit
:07:14. > :07:17.more. —— rule councils. In his interview, the prime minister seemed
:07:17. > :07:22.keen to talk about Plymouth and the funding.
:07:22. > :07:27.Despite the fact that I was talking about other councils, he said that
:07:27. > :07:30.the council is taking a small cut the big budget but the leader of the
:07:30. > :07:34.Plymouth Council disagrees. It is a big cut the big budget but the
:07:34. > :07:39.equivalent is causing Exeter City Council down for five years. That is
:07:39. > :07:44.how big the cutters that Plymouth must deal with. Coincidently, local
:07:44. > :07:49.government funding is down to be discussed at Westminster as soon as
:07:49. > :07:53.the MPs get back from conference season, which could be interesting.
:07:53. > :07:57.Now with more news, views Natalie. Two Greenpeace workers from Devon
:07:57. > :07:59.are facing two months in a Russian prison, pending a piracy
:07:59. > :08:01.investigation. They appeared in court in Murmansk after being
:08:02. > :08:05.arrested following a protest against drilling for oil in the Arctic.
:08:05. > :08:19.Greenpeace has tonight said it will appeal. Alison Johns reports.
:08:19. > :08:21.37—year—old Ian Rogers is one of 30 activists arrested during a protest
:08:21. > :08:26.at an oil platform in the Arctic last week. They say that drilling
:08:26. > :08:34.puts the environment at risk and the breast—feeding and illegal protests.
:08:34. > :08:42.The Russians just this assessment is embarrassing. No freedom of speech.
:08:42. > :08:47.It is making more of the situation, which is great because that is what
:08:47. > :08:50.we want. Is mother has been watching the court proceedings online. It is
:08:51. > :08:58.upsetting to see him actually caged up, he was up at cheeky but he made
:08:58. > :09:02.the court laugh. 22 Greenpeace workers have been told they face up
:09:02. > :09:08.to two months in custody while investigations continue. The valour
:09:08. > :09:12.of 27—year—old Alex Harris said they are in shock at the Russian
:09:12. > :09:18.reaction. —— the father of 27—year—old. She may be detained for
:09:18. > :09:23.a further two months. When you see the videos that they have them in
:09:23. > :09:27.the cage and in handcuffs, she does not deserve that sort of treatment.
:09:27. > :09:33.I don't think she does. She is not a terrorist, she is not a radical, she
:09:33. > :09:37.is just doing a job she loves doing. The families have been told that if
:09:37. > :09:42.they fly to Russia they will not be able to see their children whilst on
:09:42. > :09:45.remand. I would love to be able to with a hammer and CIM here, but we
:09:45. > :09:52.can do more good putting pressure on the Russian Embassy. —— I would love
:09:52. > :09:55.to be able to wave to Ian and say, I am here.
:09:55. > :09:59.A project to vaccinate badgers against bovine TB is expected to get
:09:59. > :10:02.underway in Cornwall in the next few days. Its costing around £2 million
:10:02. > :10:06.over seven years. The Government is helping to fund the work which has
:10:06. > :10:10.already started in a limited way in the far west of Cornwall, but is now
:10:10. > :10:11.set to spread across Penwith. Spotlight's Environment
:10:11. > :10:21.correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.
:10:21. > :10:25.Trapping badgers so they can be vaccinated against bovine TB has
:10:25. > :10:30.been taking place in parts of West Cornwall for three years. But now
:10:30. > :10:36.this small—scale project is about to become a lot better, partly due to
:10:36. > :10:42.new funding from government. This man from Cornwall by the rescue has
:10:42. > :10:46.high hopes. We must work as a group. We work with the farmers so we get
:10:46. > :10:51.the vaccination going of the badgers, we desperately need the
:10:51. > :10:59.cattle vaccine to be allowed to be used. And we need to take up our
:10:59. > :11:04.security on the farms. If we can do all of this we will see a
:11:04. > :11:07.significant drop in TB. Cornwall badger rescue has already recorded
:11:07. > :11:13.their efforts to vaccinate badgers in West Cornwall and mark them
:11:13. > :11:17.before releasing them into the wild. Professor rose from the zoological
:11:17. > :11:23.Society of London has plans to expand this work. Because we are
:11:23. > :11:26.surrounded by the sea on three sides we will not have any problem with
:11:26. > :11:31.badgers coming in, if it will work anywhere it should work here. Five
:11:31. > :11:34.farms are due to take part in the vaccination this autumn but this
:11:34. > :11:41.project will expand and last for seven years. One local landowner
:11:41. > :11:45.keen to take part as Kurt Jackson. I want to get up close and do drawings
:11:46. > :11:49.and paintings of them as well as documents the whole process of
:11:49. > :11:52.vaccination as essentially something that is a very important is
:11:52. > :11:59.occurring in the countryside at the moment. Those sorts of situations I
:11:59. > :12:04.find very interesting. The National farmers union advocates using all
:12:04. > :12:07.options to combat bovine TB but see that vaccination will not cure
:12:07. > :12:11.infected badgers. It says cattle vaccination is years away but
:12:11. > :12:16.supporters of the project say it could yield very ported results.
:12:16. > :12:19.—— very important results. The curtain goes up on the main
:12:19. > :12:22.stage of Plymouth's Theatre Royal tonight, after a £7 million
:12:22. > :12:25.refurbishment. The first big show to start the new season is War Horse.
:12:25. > :12:28.The production is already a sell out. The stage version of Devon
:12:28. > :12:31.author, Michael Morpurgo's book, is brought to life with huge mechanical
:12:31. > :12:47.horses. Johnny Rutherford has been to the dress rehearsal.
:12:47. > :12:53.Magnificent puppetry, as warhorse begins its national tour with a
:12:53. > :12:56.celebrant and Plymouth. They bring a bright lights and drama to a state
:12:56. > :13:01.that has been dark for months. The Theatre Royal has been rejuvenated,
:13:01. > :13:07.including this new entranceway. There is also a new cafe and box
:13:07. > :13:10.office. Work is underway so that soon there will be a third stage
:13:10. > :13:17.located in the basement called the lab. The restaurant has gone open
:13:17. > :13:21.plan with an extension. There is even a tennis for summer evenings.
:13:21. > :13:26.It was a 30—year—old building and there ever limitations from that in
:13:26. > :13:30.terms of access, how we could run programmes in the building and how
:13:30. > :13:37.easy it was to serve the public. It is now as if it were open for the
:13:37. > :13:42.first time. As part of the changes, the main stage will now be known as
:13:42. > :13:48.the lyrics. The story of War horse is based in Devon, like its author.
:13:48. > :13:54.Years coming home, seeking to it as Lee, the village of his birth the
:13:54. > :13:59.other week, and tonight begins the UK tour of the play and it begins in
:14:00. > :14:07.its proper place, and Plymouth. It is a great evening for the play and
:14:07. > :14:14.for the Theatre Royal. Look at Joy! This is what I call the peak of
:14:14. > :14:20.health. This woman plays Rose, the mother of Albert, who trains the
:14:20. > :14:26.horse. It is about a young farmboy, Albert, who is 16, who goes to
:14:26. > :14:29.search for his course that has been requisitioned to work in the First
:14:29. > :14:36.World War and he goes to look for it. Having a horse on stage,
:14:36. > :14:42.obviously not the real horse, how difficult is it accurate? It is
:14:42. > :14:46.quite easy, actually, because it is so utterly believable. We know there
:14:46. > :14:54.are puppeteers there but within seconds you don't look at them any
:14:54. > :14:59.more. Charge! It is enormously theatrical and by that what I mean
:14:59. > :15:03.is, the puppets are like nothing as you have ever seen. It takes
:15:03. > :15:06.puppetry to a whole new level. That is what makes the piece so
:15:06. > :15:11.interesting and why it has become such a piece of theatre that is seen
:15:11. > :15:16.by audiences all over the world. The show is not just a sell—out at the
:15:16. > :15:24.Theatre Royal, but also at the next two venues, Birmingham and
:15:24. > :15:32.Manchester. Absolutely incredible, how the move. It is extraordinary.
:15:32. > :15:33.If you go and see it and have a good time.
:15:33. > :15:36.Now from one theatre to another. This weekend the region's biggest
:15:36. > :15:40.hospital is giving visitors a chance to see what goes on behind the
:15:40. > :15:43.scenes. Derriford in Plymouth is holding an open day for the first
:15:43. > :15:47.time in a decade. People will be given a chance to visit operating
:15:47. > :15:50.theatres and use some of the equipment. As Anna Varle reports the
:15:51. > :15:55.aim is to find out how to improve patient care. If you could put this
:15:55. > :16:00.hand behind your head as high as possible. Mac Katie is undergoing
:16:00. > :16:05.tests for a liver disease. She is one of many patients that the
:16:05. > :16:11.hospital is asking to come along to give their view on what services
:16:11. > :16:13.need improved. We are hoping lots of people will come and give us
:16:13. > :16:17.feedback and contribute to the different stands and build a
:16:18. > :16:21.relationship with the hospital, so we can ask them about the feedback,
:16:21. > :16:25.what works well and what he can improve. It is not just a
:16:25. > :16:31.fact—finding mission, as the last hospital they also aim to make the
:16:31. > :16:34.building more welcoming. They are opening operating theatres and
:16:34. > :16:39.giving people the opportunity to use equipment. Children and parents can
:16:39. > :16:43.have a go at feeling the pulse and check he is bleeding OK, he might
:16:43. > :16:49.need some help with his bleeding so we can do that like this. They are
:16:49. > :16:54.all things that people can get their hands on. —— check that he is
:16:54. > :16:59.bleeding OK. There are many activities on offer, like giving
:17:00. > :17:07.your —— like having the chance to give you say, and watching the
:17:07. > :17:12.nurses are easy as the simulation. We wanted to be enjoyable, someone
:17:12. > :17:16.comes into the hospital in future they feel like they have gone to
:17:16. > :17:20.know the place already. The event starts at ten o'clock tomorrow.
:17:20. > :17:23.Time for the sport now and there's a massive rugby test for Exeter Chiefs
:17:23. > :17:27.this weekend isn't there Dave? You could say that. It seems only
:17:27. > :17:29.the best come to Sandy Park these days.
:17:29. > :17:31.The big rugby game this weekend sees Exeter Chiefs preparing for a
:17:31. > :17:35.formidable test against reigning Premiership champions Leicester
:17:35. > :17:38.Tigers on Sunday. The Chiefs have won their last two outings, thanks
:17:38. > :17:42.to powerful play from the forwards which saw the pack secure the
:17:42. > :17:45.winning points at London Irish. With Leicester's England centre Manu
:17:45. > :17:58.Tuilagi sidelined for some time with a chest injury, could that help
:17:58. > :18:03.Exeter? Activity is not playing, that is a bit of a downer for them
:18:03. > :18:09.because he is a good player but I don't know, the team is not just one
:18:10. > :18:15.player and you must always watchers around. He obviously draws a lot of
:18:15. > :18:19.defenders. Irish striker Paddy Madden is on the
:18:19. > :18:21.verge of making his comeback for Yeovil Town at fellow Championship
:18:21. > :18:24.strugglers Bolton Wanderers tomorrow. May's Wembley hero has
:18:24. > :18:27.missed most of the season so far, but scored twice against Torquay in
:18:28. > :18:30.a private practice match at Huish Park this week. Will Exeter City's
:18:31. > :18:34.new signing Danny Butterfield make his debut at Fleetwood Town? The
:18:34. > :18:37.former Crystal Palace and Southampton right—back signed for
:18:37. > :18:40.City this week. After two defeats in a row, you'd still think Plymouth
:18:40. > :18:43.Argyle would be too good for bottom side Accrington Stanley at Home Park
:18:43. > :18:52.and Torquay United go to Newport County buoyed by their four goal
:18:52. > :18:55.spree against Cheltenham last week. Pupils at a Devon school are
:18:55. > :18:58.probably still pinching themselves after a surprise guest took their
:18:58. > :19:01.football practice this morning. Paul Scholes, who was a legend at
:19:01. > :19:04.Manchester United, was at Ivybridge Community College for the launch of
:19:04. > :19:13.a unique collaboration with the English champions. Spotlight's John
:19:14. > :19:16.Danks was there. They knew something out of the
:19:16. > :19:22.ordinary was happening but none of them expected this. I went to get
:19:22. > :19:27.changed and the next thing I knew he was next to me. Paul Scholes was
:19:27. > :19:33.here to kick—start the new initiative, one that could see the
:19:33. > :19:36.best young players from this school receives specialist coaching from
:19:36. > :19:40.Manchester United 's youth academy. The relationship works to provide an
:19:40. > :19:45.opportunity to raise aspirations for boys in the south—west, that there
:19:45. > :19:50.is the possibility, there is that the link and pathway for that player
:19:50. > :19:54.that is potentially good enough. We might it clear from us. We might
:19:54. > :19:59.not. The one thing we will get from this, hopefully, is lots of positive
:19:59. > :20:06.plaudits about the kind of club that we are. That we have a history. 25
:20:06. > :20:12.years of giving young players a chance. How did these 12 and
:20:12. > :20:16.14—year—olds made up? I saw quite a lot of talent already,
:20:16. > :20:22.I have been here half an hour and you can see. You get a feel for it
:20:22. > :20:27.when you see kickabout, are great coders hear from our Academy two.
:20:27. > :20:31.They have been asked to do the things and done them all. They then
:20:31. > :20:38.got to play a game with the man who scored 155 goals for United. He has
:20:38. > :20:44.played against the best players and to play against them was great. You
:20:44. > :20:50.were on the opposing team? Did you get beat? Yes. It was amazing to
:20:50. > :20:53.play with someone that high—quality. He has been in the Champions
:20:53. > :20:58.League, Premier league, FA Cup. It was amazing. Next month they will
:20:58. > :21:01.visit old Trafford and receive coaching at the United training
:21:01. > :21:03.ground. Tonight, three times British
:21:03. > :21:06.speedway champion and Team GB captain Chris Harris leads his old
:21:06. > :21:09.team, the Exeter Falcons, in a special challenge match against
:21:09. > :21:12.Plymouth Devils at half past seven. It's the Cornishman's first—ever
:21:12. > :21:21.appearance at the St Boniface Arena. The meeting is in memory of the late
:21:21. > :21:23.Falcons promoter Colin Hill. Finally, the Cornwall County gig
:21:24. > :21:26.rowing championships for men has been re—scheduled for tomorrow at
:21:27. > :21:29.Newquay Harbour starting at 9.30 and Plymouth Raiders get their
:21:29. > :21:32.basketball season underway, with new head coach Jay Marriott, on Sunday
:21:32. > :21:42.at the Pavilions against London Lions.
:21:42. > :21:45.A charity challenge by two BBC Radio Devon presenters trying to raise
:21:45. > :21:48.money by visiting all of Devon's forty one towns and cities by public
:21:49. > :21:51.transport has been completed today. All this week David Sheppard and
:21:51. > :21:55.David Fitzgerald have been racing around the county raising money for
:21:55. > :21:59.the Give a Gift appeal. Well we saw them start in Totnes on Monday and
:21:59. > :22:11.today Spotlight's John Ayres has caught up with them as they raced to
:22:11. > :22:17.the finish. Where is he? He is supposed to be arriving soon. He is
:22:17. > :22:20.on dry land! I had to hitch a lift this morning, and what are the
:22:20. > :22:25.chances that the first person to stop and pick me up is an old friend
:22:25. > :22:31.of mine. Apparently the water was too rough. Sets hardly ever uses
:22:31. > :22:40.public transport. Next, a bus to Kingsbridge. What are the chances? I
:22:40. > :22:50.know, Fitz. I have a rig that is on rent. Public transport. Not
:22:50. > :22:53.cheating. Adaptation of rules. The plan is more conventional, although
:22:53. > :23:02.this vintage bus was not totally to plan. In Kingsbridge, Fitz's usual
:23:02. > :23:08.mode of public transport had become an usual. There are penalties to be
:23:08. > :23:12.paid. The team are not too impressed with their opponents. If you are
:23:12. > :23:16.used to being chauffeur driven everywhere and have had that for all
:23:16. > :23:21.of your life it is inevitable that using public transport will come
:23:21. > :23:24.hard to you. I am disappointed but not surprised that they have had to
:23:24. > :23:32.fall back on calling in a few favours. So who is first back to
:23:32. > :23:38.Torness station? It is the wind in your hair. Fitz get their five
:23:38. > :23:42.minutes earlier, but what about when the money is counted and penalties
:23:42. > :23:54.included? I can now declare that the winner is the ship. Marvellous. ——
:23:54. > :24:05.Team Shep. Sets, your total is —£160. Negative equity, ladies and
:24:05. > :24:08.gentlemen. They did there, Fitz. Victory for Fitz, but as organisers
:24:08. > :24:14.he gave himself an illegal advantage.
:24:14. > :24:17.I can believe that. That is public transport, a breeze car.
:24:17. > :24:24.Time for the weather. Time for
:24:24. > :24:28.The weekend looks breezy. Good news for windsurfers advocate surfers,
:24:28. > :24:34.because the wind remained strong this weekend. We have a few showers
:24:34. > :24:38.to content left on both days, so not drive by any stretch of the
:24:38. > :24:43.imagination, and at times rather cloudy. It remains males and as I
:24:43. > :24:47.mentioned it is also quite easy, particularly through the south
:24:47. > :24:52.coast. There is quite a lot more cloud on the satellite picture, so
:24:52. > :24:56.it is bright but not necessarily sunny over the next two days. This
:24:56. > :25:00.area of low pressure gets closer over the next 24 hours and there is
:25:00. > :25:05.a squeeze on the isobars to give us the strength of wind. That wind will
:25:05. > :25:07.drop come Sunday and we are still close enough towards the area of low
:25:07. > :25:13.pressure to generate showers by Sunday. Perhaps some persistent rain
:25:13. > :25:18.by Monday. As the weather front comes up from the south, noticed
:25:18. > :25:23.plenty of isobars on the charts as plenty of these remains with us into
:25:23. > :25:26.next week. At the moment there is a easterly winds that brings showers
:25:26. > :25:31.by the end of the night, some of them appealing to the west of the
:25:31. > :25:35.Isles of Scilly. Those winds remain in that direction for much of
:25:35. > :25:38.tomorrow. The quote today has not produced much, we have had some hazy
:25:38. > :25:42.sunshine over part of the south—west, there are some showers
:25:42. > :25:47.developing to the far south—west through the night and then gradually
:25:47. > :25:50.a move through the —— naturally it will move through the rest of us.
:25:50. > :25:57.There is the chance of some showers and the only saving grace is that
:25:57. > :26:00.the breezes quite strong. There are temperatures today, cooler than they
:26:00. > :26:05.have been, 1112 degrees for most of us. E—mail stating that what we
:26:05. > :26:11.should be seeing. —— 11 or 12 degrees. Some sunny spells to ——
:26:11. > :26:18.sunny spells tomorrow, turning mystery in Cornwall, and towards the
:26:18. > :26:21.end of the day we could see some heavy showers developing but as you
:26:21. > :26:25.can see along northern part of Cornwall in the north—west of Devon
:26:25. > :26:29.we might get some sunshine. Temperatures up to around 19 or
:26:29. > :26:34.possibly 20 degrees. That is still above average for this time of year,
:26:34. > :26:37.cooler on the south coast exposing that stiff easterly breeze. This is
:26:37. > :26:41.the forecast for the Isles of Scilly, some showers are breezy and
:26:41. > :26:47.it will become misty into the early evening. Times of high water, at
:26:47. > :26:52.Portland 1220 a.m. , Falmouth 11:51pm and ends at 11:45am. For
:26:52. > :26:57.surfers, with easterly winds the server is not too bad. To four feet
:26:57. > :27:04.on the north coast, slightly choppy on the south coast. The temperature
:27:04. > :27:07.between 16 and 17 degrees. For the coastal waters forecast the winds
:27:07. > :27:14.are easterly tomorrow, becoming southeasterly into Sunday at Force,
:27:14. > :27:18.showers will generally have more than visibility. Looking ahead to
:27:18. > :27:22.Sunday, some showers around and sunny spells perhaps briefly some
:27:22. > :27:27.sunshine on Monday morning but cloudy with it takes of rain.
:27:27. > :27:35.Staying mild, and also staying frost free. Have a good weekend.
:27:35. > :27:37.Your BBC local radio station will keep you up—to—date with news
:27:37. > :27:40.weather and travel and local sporting coverage throughout the
:27:41. > :27:42.weekend and we will be back at 6:30pm on Monday. Goodbye.
