:00:13. > :00:20.The region's only air link to London undelert as easyJet says it won't be

:00:20. > :00:24.taking off from Newquay to Gatwick. It had been hoped that the company

:00:24. > :00:27.would take over from Flybe but it says the route isn't viable. We will

:00:27. > :00:31.assess the implication for the region's economy. Also tonight a

:00:31. > :00:35.marksman involved in the badger cull claims he was threatened by a

:00:35. > :00:40.protestor with a weapon. The police are investigating the claim, one

:00:40. > :00:43.anti—cull campaigner has told us any protests must be lawful.

:00:43. > :00:48.In this country we should be allowed to protest as long as we do it in a

:00:48. > :00:53.legal and peaceful way. And pay your fare, and play fair. Taxi users

:00:53. > :00:59.being asked to pay up front for their journeys.

:00:59. > :01:03.The region ——s only air link to London looks more at risk than ever

:01:03. > :01:10.after easyJet announced it won't take over the Newquay—Gatwick route.

:01:10. > :01:13.Flybe's abandoning the route, the service could simply disappear.

:01:13. > :01:18.Spotlight's business correspondent reports.

:01:18. > :01:20.It is something the region has taken for granteded for years, the

:01:21. > :01:27.south—west's air link to London as we know it today, is run by Flybe,

:01:27. > :01:32.who go to Gatwick and back three times daily. Flybe's Gatwick landing

:01:32. > :01:36.slots are being taken over by easyJet, who today said they don't

:01:36. > :01:40.want to maintain the service. The future of the region's air link is

:01:40. > :01:45.more in doubt than ever. I am gutted at easyJet's decision. I

:01:45. > :01:49.think this will be a blow to bidses big and small across Cornwall, and

:01:49. > :01:52.to think that just in a few months time that link won't be there any

:01:52. > :01:56.more, I think it will be a shock to businesses and a blow to the

:01:56. > :02:00.economy. Hopes had been high that jet were close to announcing plans

:02:00. > :02:04.for some sort of Newquay—Gatwick service from April. Many in the

:02:04. > :02:08.local business community thought the future of the link was more or less

:02:08. > :02:11.secure. We were certainly given the impression, please don't say

:02:11. > :02:16.anything outspoken, because that will jeopardise the sensitive talks.

:02:16. > :02:19.I know that the talks have got fairly way, a long way down the

:02:19. > :02:23.track. Something must have been nearly right, it is added

:02:23. > :02:26.disappointment when you have been in negotiation for that long, that it

:02:26. > :02:31.hasn't come to fruition in the end. EasyJet told us today in a statement

:02:31. > :02:34.that they carefully and thoroughly examined the commercial viability of

:02:34. > :02:39.offering year round services on the route. Unfortunately, after much

:02:39. > :02:45.consideration, all the evidence Keirly shows there is insufficient

:02:45. > :02:49.demand. —— clearly. So, Flybe will continue on the route

:02:49. > :02:53.until the end of March, and after that, the region's air link to

:02:54. > :02:57.London is currently a blank. But Cornwall Council, which owns the

:02:57. > :03:01.airport certainly isn't giving up. It is talking to other airlines

:03:01. > :03:07.about the route. How confident is it that it will be able to find another

:03:07. > :03:11.operator to keep it going? We are disappointed that easyJet are chosen

:03:11. > :03:16.not to maintain the route operated by Flybe, but we are sure we can

:03:16. > :03:20.bring in another operator to cover those routes, and we are working

:03:20. > :03:24.with other operators as well as central Government. One option is to

:03:24. > :03:28.see if the government will take the unusual step of releasing public

:03:28. > :03:32.funds to subsidise a continuing air link. This might be possible, as it

:03:32. > :03:35.is? The north of Scotland, on the grounds that Cornwall's remote, and

:03:35. > :03:40.the link is vital for economic development.

:03:40. > :03:43.But that is a complicated business. EasyJet themselves already operate

:03:43. > :03:47.some services out of Newquay, including to Southend, and they are

:03:47. > :03:54.planning to expand these. Southend is is a London service of sorts but

:03:54. > :04:01.it is far from the Newquay link that the region has known since the days

:04:01. > :04:06.of Bryman airways. Neil is with me now. If neebgy airport loses

:04:06. > :04:10.Gatwick, it only has two—year round destination, Manchester and the

:04:10. > :04:16.Isles of Scilly. Can the airport survive? There are other scheduled

:04:16. > :04:19.destinations in the summer. Liverpool and Southend. That is it.

:04:19. > :04:25.This is a council owned airport. When we speak to people in Truro

:04:25. > :04:30.they can were quick to question the role of the council It is limited.

:04:30. > :04:34.It won't do anything for Cornwall's tourism or business. If we are

:04:34. > :04:39.subsidising that, it is wrong. Think it would be better if someone

:04:39. > :04:43.else ran it, rather than the council, really. They are building

:04:43. > :04:48.it bigger and bigger but stopping all the flights so I don't see the

:04:48. > :04:52.point of building it bigger. As we heard in the report the council

:04:52. > :04:58.seems determined to turn things round, can it? Possibly p as a cost.

:04:58. > :05:02.Few people in Cornwall will criticise it if it manages to

:05:02. > :05:05.preserve the link into a real London airport. The cost is it costs

:05:05. > :05:09.several million a year for the council to subsidise the airport,

:05:09. > :05:14.that is on top of tens of millions of European money that have gone

:05:14. > :05:17.into the airport to expand it. At the moment, Newquay Airport is

:05:17. > :05:21.looking like a gamble which hasn't paid off.

:05:21. > :05:24.Thank you very much indeed. Next tonight, the police are

:05:24. > :05:28.investigating claims a marksman involved in the controversial badger

:05:28. > :05:34.cull in Somerset was threatened by a group of protestors. The incident is

:05:34. > :05:42.said to have happened on Exmoor near Wheddon co,z off —— Wheddon Cross.

:05:42. > :05:47.The passions aroused by the cull have led to protests, the vast

:05:47. > :05:52.majority, like this, have been peaceful. But now comes a report of

:05:52. > :05:56.criminality. Avon and Somerset police say they

:05:56. > :05:59.are investigating threats against a marksman on Exmoor. This happened

:05:59. > :06:04.about two clock in the morning. The police say the man was surrounded by

:06:04. > :06:07.a group of up to eight protestor, torches were shone into his face and

:06:07. > :06:11.he was threatened, including with a long thin item which may have been a

:06:11. > :06:17.weapon. A badger, which had been shot in the cull, was also taken.

:06:17. > :06:22.At secret world wildlife rescue they look after injured badger, here they

:06:22. > :06:27.oppose the cull peacefully and are critical of any protestors who break

:06:27. > :06:31.the law. I think if people are activists a and they do things that

:06:32. > :06:35.are illegal. They put our feelings at risk. In this country we should

:06:35. > :06:41.be allowed to protest as long as we do it in a legal and peaceful bay. I

:06:41. > :06:46.think once activists get hold of these things they endanger that. We

:06:46. > :06:50.are stopped three, four, five six times a night in our vehicle, you

:06:50. > :06:55.would have to be crackers to be driving round with a gun. So this

:06:55. > :06:59.didn't happen. The gun incident didn't happen. And the threat? If

:06:59. > :07:04.you are by yourself and six people turn up and masked up you might feel

:07:04. > :07:09.threatened, you might run off, you may say to people I felt threatened.

:07:09. > :07:12.Maybe you did. The trial cull is entering its final day, the police

:07:12. > :07:17.say the threats to the marksman happened on the 14th September, near

:07:17. > :07:24.Wheddon Cross, the man was not injured.

:07:24. > :07:35.Avon and Somerset Police asking anyone withes information about the

:07:35. > :07:41.incident call 101. It has been described as a silent

:07:41. > :07:45.killer, round 50 people in the UK die from carbon monoxide poisoning

:07:45. > :07:48.every year. In the pastst months alone, four people in Cornwall have

:07:48. > :07:54.lost their lives. Many others have been made ill. The County's Fire

:07:54. > :07:59.Service is backing calls for detectors to be made compulsory as

:07:59. > :08:06.they are in Scotland where new gas pliernss are fitted.

:08:06. > :08:11.—— appliances. These days Frances relies on central het heating run by

:08:11. > :08:17.electricity, several years she she was lent a portable gas heart. It

:08:17. > :08:24.was her only form of heating. One days she be ban to feel ill. Fluey,

:08:24. > :08:28.a bit shivery, a bit shaky. And this went on a while. I went to the

:08:28. > :08:33.doctor, he said you probably have a virus. How long were you feeling

:08:33. > :08:39.like this how long were you being poisoned? I would think probably

:08:39. > :08:43.months, six weeks, probably, because of course the more shivery I felt,

:08:43. > :08:48.the more I put the heater on, to try and keep warm, and the worse I felt.

:08:48. > :08:53.Frances was in fact being poisoned by her heater, high levels of the

:08:53. > :08:57.gas can kill within hours. In February, an elderly couple and

:08:57. > :09:00.their daughter died from carbon monoxide poisoning in their home

:09:00. > :09:05.near Camborne, in the same month, a woman and her three dogs were found

:09:05. > :09:12.dead at the guest house she ran. Carbon monoxide is produced from

:09:13. > :09:17.basically the incomplete come bussion from fossil fuels. It could

:09:17. > :09:22.be gas appliance, wood burning appliances or oil fired heating. You

:09:22. > :09:25.can't smell it or taste it. It is odourless and without any early

:09:25. > :09:30.warning, then obviously you will never know it is there and it will

:09:30. > :09:33.poison you. This is the device the fire brigade say can save your life.

:09:33. > :09:39.It's a carbon monoxide detector, and when it picks up traces of thes

:09:39. > :09:43.poisonous gas, it emits a high pitched bleep. In Scotland a new law

:09:43. > :09:48.means that people fitting solid fuel or gas appliance also have to

:09:48. > :09:51.install detectors, alongside them. The Fire and Rescue Service in

:09:51. > :09:57.Cornwall say lives could be saved if this law was extended to the whole

:09:57. > :10:01.of the UK. A Royal Marine Tain trainer who

:10:01. > :10:06.admitted three offences of ill—treating new recruits in Devon

:10:06. > :10:10.has been spared a prison sentence. Peter Clark was responsible for

:10:10. > :10:18.instructing marines at the commando training centre. He admitting

:10:18. > :10:24.bullying subordinate, he has been fine £1750 and given a reprimand.

:10:24. > :10:28.Two former director of a currency exchange company which collapse have

:10:28. > :10:33.appeared before Southwark Crown Court. Edward James the ex—mayor of

:10:33. > :10:40.Glastonbury and Peter Benstead have been charged with fraudulent trade,

:10:40. > :10:45.and false accounting. Crown Currency Exchange went bust in 2010. It was

:10:45. > :10:48.adjourned until November 19th. Non—emergency ambulances across the

:10:48. > :10:55.south—west are being run by three different private of ray for, until

:10:55. > :11:01.now an NHS Trust the South West Ambulance Service Hazard held the

:11:01. > :11:04.contract, taking people to and fro hospital appointments. Torbay will

:11:04. > :11:08.run the Patient Transport Service in south Devon.

:11:08. > :11:12.A taxi firm in do society with unpaid fares running into thousands

:11:12. > :11:17.of pounds says it has had enough of passengers who don't pay up. Weyline

:11:17. > :11:25.in Weymouth is taking action by launching a play fair pay your fare

:11:25. > :11:28.campaign. Spotlight's Hamish Marshall report, some will be asked

:11:28. > :11:33.to pay before setting off. Vaughan has been a cabbie for four weeks but

:11:33. > :11:40.he has fallen victim to a growing trend. Known in the trade as bill

:11:40. > :11:47.inging. It was a bit of a shock. I had only been working several days,

:11:47. > :11:52.I had been prewarned, about potential incidents, and when it

:11:52. > :11:56.happens to you, you put in that situation, where you ared to either

:11:56. > :12:03.or, you can approach them and ask for the money or you put it down to

:12:03. > :12:06.experience. Good afternoon Weyline. Vaughan's company has launched a

:12:07. > :12:13.campaign and passengers may be asked to pay before they start their

:12:13. > :12:17.journey. We do follow it up, which etake it seriously, we won't give

:12:17. > :12:22.up, because if they find it too easy, they will do it again, and

:12:22. > :12:27.there are serial offenders out there and each company is getting to

:12:27. > :12:31.gnome. Other cab companies in Weymouth are adopting the scheme

:12:31. > :12:37.too. Taxi drivers tell us all the time it happens to them, so, yeah,

:12:37. > :12:42.when, when you have got like teenagers jumping in a cab at night.

:12:42. > :12:46.Sometimes they don't have any money. Most things you have to pay up

:12:46. > :12:50.front. I wouldn't be offended. Both cab companies and the drivers who

:12:50. > :12:54.are mostly self—employed lose out from non—payers. And people who

:12:54. > :12:58.don't pay their fares are of all ages. The recent fraud act has made

:12:58. > :13:02.it easier to work out whether someone is a non—payer or not.

:13:02. > :13:07.Police are reminding those who don't pay their farers, that is it is not

:13:07. > :13:11.only a criminal offence, be you could be arrested for it. Vaughan

:13:11. > :13:14.used the CCTV in his cab and internet to track down his fare

:13:14. > :13:21.dodger and got him to pay up, rather than go to court.

:13:21. > :13:26.It has been dubbed the Tesco tax, a new levy that councils can impose on

:13:26. > :13:29.supermarkets and big retailer, the aim of the levy is to raise money

:13:29. > :13:32.that can be ploughed back into helping the local economy. It has

:13:32. > :13:37.been welcomed by small business, who see it a a way of helping them

:13:37. > :13:45.compete. North Devon council is the latest to consider introducing it.

:13:45. > :13:49.Feeling the heat, but not from the ovens. Some independent traders

:13:49. > :13:53.here, say they are worried about the dominance of the supermarket chains.

:13:53. > :13:58.Unfortunately it is not very fair on the smaller businesses now, the

:13:58. > :14:03.large supermarkets, with all their buying power, their advertising

:14:03. > :14:08.power, their influence on the general public and free parking it

:14:08. > :14:13.it is making it difficult for town centres. North Devon council, like

:14:13. > :14:20.others, is looking at the idea of a retail levy, on the largest outlets.

:14:20. > :14:24.It could raise over £600,000. These supermarkets, they are surrounding

:14:24. > :14:29.Barnstaple. We are inundated with them, and I think it would be

:14:29. > :14:34.appropriate for a contribution to be made by supermarkets, to help keep

:14:34. > :14:39.the town centre alive. New laws means councils can request

:14:39. > :14:43.the powers from Government to charge the levy but there is a concern what

:14:43. > :14:47.the economic impact could be The worry is large retailers will not

:14:47. > :14:53.locate in this area, that is not good for business generally and pun

:14:53. > :14:57.prices. The town centre opinions on the principle of a levy are mixed.

:14:57. > :15:02.As a opper I understand that the high street is suffering hugely,

:15:02. > :15:06.because of the supermarkets that are, there is so many of them, so I

:15:06. > :15:11.do have an understanding of that, but I am not sure how I feel about

:15:11. > :15:16.taxing them that much. That seems a lot. The supermarket also do fine,

:15:16. > :15:20.the big companies will do fine, there will always be people willing

:15:20. > :15:26.to shop there. It is the small ones that need the support. It is a great

:15:26. > :15:29.idea. I feel divided. One I wouldn't want the food to increase that much

:15:29. > :15:34.more, but secondly, I would like to see the town as it used to be, years

:15:34. > :15:38.ago. I mean, the small businesses are going and it is is not as good

:15:38. > :15:42.now, as it was. Temperature Government is also

:15:42. > :15:45.concerned the levy could lead to price hikes.

:15:45. > :15:51.The British Retail Consortium who represent the supermarkets say

:15:51. > :15:56.retailers already contribute significant amounts of national and

:15:56. > :16:00.local tax. A charity in Cornwall has placed

:16:00. > :16:07.more than 50 life—saving cardiac machines at venues across the Cowen

:16:07. > :16:11.toy. The defib ray lor —— defibrillators are designed to be

:16:11. > :16:15.used by people with little or no training. One has been installed at

:16:15. > :16:20.the Hall for Cornwall. On stage, theatre staff are preparing for a

:16:20. > :16:25.performance of Mansfield Park. In the cafe, the life—saving public

:16:25. > :16:28.access defibrillator has been installed on the wall and a number

:16:28. > :16:31.of staff have been trained to use it.

:16:31. > :16:35.We are in the middle of Truro, we are open day an night, and it is

:16:35. > :16:38.important to understand that this is for anybody to use, anybody in need

:16:38. > :16:43.of this device can walk in off the street and collect it from us. The

:16:44. > :16:50.machines are designed to be used by anybody and the automated system

:16:51. > :16:56.will talk the userly the what to do. Remove clothing to expose bare skin.

:16:56. > :17:02.If there is a suspected cardiac arrest, pads are applied, and it

:17:02. > :17:07.measures any electrical activity in the heart, if it detects it will not

:17:08. > :17:14.shock even if the button is pressed. People who think they can do any

:17:14. > :17:17.they can't. It must be frightening for somebody who has never

:17:17. > :17:22.approached one before, but it is simple to use. The charity says

:17:22. > :17:26.Cornwall is catching up with cities like Plymouth which already has a

:17:26. > :17:31.large number of public access defibrillator, this one was paid for

:17:31. > :17:35.in part by Truro's Lion's club. Details of each machine are passed

:17:35. > :17:39.to the Ambulance Service, so that 999 operators can tell callers where

:17:39. > :17:44.the nearest one is, the aim is to have 200 of these devices in

:17:44. > :17:48.Cornwall, by next year. And the charity has a whole team of

:17:48. > :17:52.trainer, they have arranged public training sessions at fire stations

:17:52. > :17:56.across Cornwall, and they are going to be working in school, so soon,

:17:56. > :18:04.they hope, there will be a generation of people who do know

:18:04. > :18:11.what to do in an emergency. Some sports news and Exeter City's

:18:11. > :18:18.new Chief Executive says he hopes the club can emulate the success of

:18:18. > :18:23.the rugby club. Guy Wolfenden comes from a cricket background. He will

:18:23. > :18:28.be working to raise revenue and improve the team's success without

:18:28. > :18:31.going into debt The rugby club is in one place and the football club

:18:31. > :18:36.should be in a similar position, I am looking forward to the challenge

:18:36. > :18:40.of being able to help develop the ground and develop the fan base, and

:18:40. > :18:44.work with Paul and the team in developing the best football and the

:18:44. > :18:49.best stadium for the fans to come and enjoy the game here.

:18:49. > :18:53.There is another big test for Yeovil Town. Third place Leicester City

:18:53. > :18:58.come to Huish Park as the Somme set team bid for only their second win

:18:58. > :19:03.of the season. They have been lucky while Leicester are one of the

:19:03. > :19:07.favourites for promotion. BBC some Shetland have full coverage from

:19:07. > :19:12.7.45. The National Trust says it is

:19:12. > :19:16.pulling out of one its of its newest properties in Devon because not

:19:16. > :19:20.enough people are visiting it. High Cross House opened to the public

:19:20. > :19:26.last year. It was one of the first modernist houses in the country but

:19:26. > :19:32.it hasn't proved a hit with the National Trust faithful. High Cross

:19:32. > :19:36.House was designed in 1932 as what modernists describe as a machine for

:19:36. > :19:40.living. Unfortunately it hasn't proved a machine for attracting

:19:40. > :19:45.visitor, it opens last year, but just 21,000 people came to see it,

:19:45. > :19:50.with a similar number this year. We are disappoint at the fact we are

:19:51. > :19:55.closing the house, we opened with a sort of blaze of glory last year, we

:19:55. > :20:00.had a lot of publicity, the visitor numbers have not been as high as we

:20:00. > :20:09.hoped. And so it is not sustainable for us to carry on forwards. High

:20:09. > :20:13.Cross House was designed by William his cars: It was one of the first

:20:13. > :20:18.modernist houses in the country, full of sleek lines and functional

:20:18. > :20:22.furniture. The National Trust says it wanted to take on High Cross

:20:22. > :20:28.House as an experiment, opening it up for the public to view, but also

:20:28. > :20:32.using it as a showcase, for artists to exhibit and sell their work.

:20:32. > :20:37.Unfortunately, it has decided that experiment didn't quite work.

:20:37. > :20:42.High Cross House will be handed back to its owner, the Dartington Hall

:20:42. > :20:46.Trust. We are sad, but my view is it is better to have tried and failed

:20:46. > :20:51.than not to have tried at all. It was an innovative way to use the

:20:51. > :20:56.house. The aim is to keep using it. We will look for add new partner who

:20:56. > :21:00.wants to use the house like this, in an innovative way and hopefully

:21:00. > :21:07.keeps it open to the public as well. Until a new partner is found anyone

:21:07. > :21:15.keen to see this has until the end of the year before it closed.

:21:15. > :21:20.Now, a man who suffered a stroke 17 years ago is the artist behind a

:21:20. > :21:24.unique exhibition at Exeter Cathedral. Mark Ware has put

:21:24. > :21:30.together 900 images of the building to reflect its 900 year history. The

:21:30. > :21:39.film will be accompanied by musicians.

:21:39. > :21:45.A 900 year time line for Exeter Cathedral. The man behind these

:21:45. > :21:52.images says despite a severe stroke 17 years ago, life has changed in

:21:52. > :21:57.some ways for the better. In terms of seeing thing, I think I am in the

:21:57. > :22:01.here and now, like as with most disabilities, when things are

:22:01. > :22:07.painful and I struggle I have to concentrate on walking, on balance,

:22:08. > :22:11.on seeing so I am aware of sound and temperature, and the visual

:22:12. > :22:15.appearance of thing, and that helps with Miss Artwork, because that is

:22:15. > :22:21.one of the most important things with artists to be aware of what is

:22:21. > :22:26.there opposed to rely on your memory. St will to sound will be cop

:22:26. > :22:32.anyed by four musicians is. I think it's a very unusual experience, for

:22:32. > :22:36.people, we don't know how it will pan out, because it is

:22:36. > :22:40.multi—dimensional, think that will be the photography is MiF sent and

:22:40. > :22:44.of course we are seeing things in the Cathedral, which we have never

:22:44. > :22:48.seen before because it is done with tell photo lens, and in three

:22:48. > :22:53.dimensions and we are adding a fourth dimension, which is one of

:22:53. > :22:58.sound, of music from all these different periods. He has managed to

:22:58. > :23:02.capture hidden areas that we never would have had a chance to show off.

:23:02. > :23:07.He has got immersed in the life of the place. He spent time with our

:23:07. > :23:10.stonemason, with our library and archive, a lot of time in the

:23:10. > :23:14.visitor department and he is part of our community and part of the

:23:14. > :23:19.Cathedral story. The project, called 900 Years of

:23:19. > :23:31.Light opens tomorrow evening at 7.30 and runs for three nights.

:23:31. > :23:37.Very powerful images. Lovely music as well. Lovely. It is time for the

:23:37. > :23:42.weather forecast now. David is here. A bit of a wet one. Yes, good

:23:42. > :23:46.evening, it is causing a few problems on the roads as well.

:23:46. > :23:51.Leaves blocking the drains and standing water, some of the faster

:23:51. > :23:54.routes the spray is giving poor visibility. Tomorrow, it is much dry

:23:54. > :23:59.e but we haven't seen the last of the rain. Still misty, and there

:23:59. > :24:04.will be more rain tomorrow evening, tomorrow night, and into Thursday.

:24:05. > :24:08.So, we still have a weather warning valid mostly for Thursday, the rain

:24:08. > :24:12.band we have at the moment will fer out as it moves away through this

:24:12. > :24:16.evening and overnight. Some dry weather, but that warning is valid

:24:16. > :24:20.for Thursday, some of the rain early on Thursday could be torrential,

:24:20. > :24:24.even with the risk of thunder, so tomorrow, we are between weather

:24:24. > :24:27.system, so hopefully a bit brighter, certainly a lot drier than we have

:24:27. > :24:31.seen, but there are great clumps of cloud round the United Kingdom at

:24:31. > :24:36.the moment. The area of low pressure is now close enough to feed in quite

:24:36. > :24:40.a few shower, now, some round this evening there is a first band of

:24:40. > :24:44.rain moves away, then we are between systems for the middle of the day

:24:44. > :24:49.tomorrow, but by Thursday, as the low pressure gets o closer, not only

:24:49. > :24:51.will it be windy, it is likely to be particularly wet, especially on

:24:51. > :24:55.Thursday morning. Here is that rain that we have seen

:24:55. > :24:59.earlier today, it has peeled away from the Isles of Scilly and here a

:24:59. > :25:02.bit of late brightness, but for the rest of us we have that cloud and

:25:02. > :25:06.further showers to come this evening. They will probably continue

:25:06. > :25:11.for the next few hours before finally dies away, and moving

:25:11. > :25:15.northwards through the night. So a bit drier, turning misty, if there

:25:15. > :25:19.is any clear sky it will be filled in with mist and fog and hill fog

:25:20. > :25:23.becoming extensive, a thick layer of cloud low to the ground, right

:25:24. > :25:27.across the south—west, southerly winds, and another mild night too.

:25:27. > :25:32.Overnight temperatures no lower than the between 14 and 16 degrees. That

:25:32. > :25:37.is pretty usual for the month of October, to see night—time

:25:37. > :25:39.temperatures so high. For tomorrow, misty, grey again, briefly some

:25:39. > :25:43.breaks in the cloud, they are most likely in Somerset, the north of

:25:43. > :25:47.Devon, for the rest of us, a lot of cloud and particularly the south

:25:47. > :25:51.coast, that cloud is extensive, that low cloud, misty on the coast and

:25:51. > :25:55.out at sea and some more rain coming back in the end of the afternoon and

:25:55. > :25:58.early evening. Now the rain overnight into the small hours

:25:58. > :26:02.Thursday morning, could be heavy, even with the risk of hail and

:26:02. > :26:06.lightening. There are temperatures. It is mild despite that cloud and

:26:06. > :26:10.despite a keen breeze from the south, we will get to 18, possibly

:26:10. > :26:14.19 degrees again, so another warm day despite all that cloud, and the

:26:14. > :26:18.showers in the forecast. For the Isles of Scilly here, I expect to

:26:18. > :26:23.see bright weather briefly but misty and further wet weather, setting in

:26:23. > :26:27.to the end of the afternoon and into the early evening. Breezy here too.

:26:27. > :26:34.Times of high water, Portland, that is at 5.35 and 17.43.

:26:34. > :26:41.Surf has been small but good today. It is better tomorrow. The north

:26:41. > :26:46.coast will have up to six feet and clean, the wave period is round

:26:46. > :26:51.12—13 second, surfers know that is good news. Slightly more choppy

:26:51. > :26:51.along the south coast with that breeze.

:26:51. > :27:08.Here is the coastal waters forecast. So quite poor visibility, it has

:27:08. > :27:11.been that way all week and it will continue until we start to get a

:27:11. > :27:16.clearance. It comes on Friday, so after that wet day on Thursday,

:27:16. > :27:19.Friday a few showers round, we get a change the wind direction, the wind

:27:19. > :27:23.becomes more westerly, that is cleaner air for us, hopefully better

:27:23. > :27:28.visibility and high pressure comes back for the weekend, so a bit of

:27:28. > :27:33.wet weather but come the weekend the sunshine will be out and it will be

:27:33. > :27:37.dry. Thank you. If you have a look at the Spotlight Facebook page you

:27:37. > :27:41.can see the film looking back over 50 years of Spotlight and we are

:27:41. > :27:43.back with you 6.30 tomorrow. Good night.
