:00:17. > :00:21.Families of the Devon people held in Russia after a Greenpeace protest

:00:22. > :00:27.call for more help from the Foreign Office.

:00:28. > :00:30.Good evening. The families held talks with officials this afternoon

:00:31. > :00:34.and raised concerns about a lack of contact with their loved ones. We

:00:35. > :00:36.have not heard from him for four breaks which we think is

:00:37. > :00:44.unacceptable. We have told the foreign office that.

:00:45. > :00:48.Also tonight: The battle against breast cancer ` we hear from the

:00:49. > :00:49.woman whose moving story has attracted more than 160,000

:00:50. > :00:52.followers online. And have you seen this cat? Minx's

:00:53. > :01:00.owner claims she's been kit`napped. The police are treating her

:01:01. > :01:04.disappearance as theft. The families of three people from

:01:05. > :01:07.Devon who are being held in Russia accused of piracy have been meeting

:01:08. > :01:10.with the Foreign Office. The detainees are part of a crew of 30

:01:11. > :01:13.Greenpeace protestors who were arrested following an incident at an

:01:14. > :01:16.offshore drilling platform. Tonight, the labour MP for Exeter Ben

:01:17. > :01:20.Bradshaw has told us David Cameron needs to get on the phone to

:01:21. > :01:26.Vladimir Putin as a matter of urgency. Our political editor Martyn

:01:27. > :01:33.Oates reports. It all began at this protest for

:01:34. > :01:37.weeks ago organised by Queen Preece `` Greenpeace. 30 members of the

:01:38. > :01:43.crew are being held by the Russian authorities. They include Alex

:01:44. > :01:49.Harris and Ian Rogers, seen here behind bars in court. Also in

:01:50. > :01:53.custody is Kieran Brian, a freelance video journalist who was being

:01:54. > :01:58.employed by Greenpeace. They are accused of piracy, a charge which

:01:59. > :02:05.carries a 15 year prison term. Today there plight was raised in the House

:02:06. > :02:12.of Commons. We need to follow the case extremely closely and that is

:02:13. > :02:19.the `` that is what the Foreign Office is doing. We are seeking

:02:20. > :02:23.daily updates. That is feeble. Seeking updates is in effect doing

:02:24. > :02:28.nothing. I am astonished the Prime Minister has not picked up the phone

:02:29. > :02:32.to Vladimir Putin. He should be making absolutely clear to them in

:02:33. > :02:35.private that their behaviour has been completely unacceptable and if

:02:36. > :02:41.these people are not released soon it will do damage to bilateral

:02:42. > :02:47.relations and Russia's image in the world. Relatives of the detainees

:02:48. > :02:52.had a meeting later in the day with Foreign Office officials. We have

:02:53. > :02:56.not spoken to him for four weeks. It is unacceptable and we have told the

:02:57. > :03:03.Foreign Office. Things like letters were raised quite prominently.

:03:04. > :03:11.People want to hear from their loved ones. It is understandable. In terms

:03:12. > :03:19.of the bigger picture, the Foreign Office are working very hard to make

:03:20. > :03:23.sure that we are being represented. Nobody from the Foreign Office was

:03:24. > :03:27.available for interview. In a statement, they said that it would

:03:28. > :03:32.be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing process and they do not

:03:33. > :03:41.comment publicly on individual consulate cases.

:03:42. > :03:44.The number of people out of work and claiming benefit in the South West

:03:45. > :03:48.fell last month to its lowest September level for five years. But

:03:49. > :03:51.it's still higher than it was before the credit crunch began to bite. The

:03:52. > :03:54.latest national unemployment rate, going by the narrow definition of

:03:55. > :03:58.the claimant count, is 3.2%. In Cornwall, the equivalent figure is

:03:59. > :04:01.down to 2.1%. In Devon, it's down to 1.5%. In Dorset, it's down to 1.3%,

:04:02. > :04:05.the lowest in the region. And in Somerset, it's down to 1.7%. The

:04:06. > :04:09.urban unitary areas here have rates much more like the national one.

:04:10. > :04:14.Plymouth's latest rate is down to 2.9%. And Torbay remains the only

:04:15. > :04:17.area with a rate above the national figure at 3.4%. So, the numbers are

:04:18. > :04:20.moving in the right direction, but important questions remain about

:04:21. > :04:30.wages in the region, as our business correspondent Neil Gallacher

:04:31. > :04:35.reports. This is a story of gradual recovery

:04:36. > :04:41.in the economy across the south`west but also of personal recovery from

:04:42. > :04:45.redundancy for this scaffolder. Spotlight first met him in 2009,

:04:46. > :04:50.shortly after the firm he worked for had gone bankrupt. He was

:04:51. > :04:57.temporarily working for another scaffolder. The last recession, it

:04:58. > :05:03.was bad. My family struggled a little bit. But I have not had any

:05:04. > :05:07.experience of this before. His journey has brought him to the point

:05:08. > :05:13.where he has now his own boss and he is employing eight other people. ``

:05:14. > :05:18.here's now. He says that the local economy bears little resemblance to

:05:19. > :05:22.that of five years ago. It is a lot stronger. We are inundated with

:05:23. > :05:25.work. But you have always got to worry about taking on more people

:05:26. > :05:33.because you do not know what is around the corner. We are working to

:05:34. > :05:37.150% all of the time. Long overdue. Recession is always come to an end.

:05:38. > :05:42.It is very good news. But you have to take it with caution. There has

:05:43. > :05:48.been a lot of poor quality jobs created, part`time, low paid. We

:05:49. > :05:52.have enough of those. This work is certainly not part`time but he

:05:53. > :05:56.admits it is not highly paid. We are not charging as much as we should be

:05:57. > :06:03.charging. We are making enough money to grow as a business. The economy

:06:04. > :06:06.is not out of the woods yet as the current fears about a US debt

:06:07. > :06:12.default demonstrates. For now at least in this corner of West Devon,

:06:13. > :06:20.things are looking a little sunnier.

:06:21. > :06:24.Nearly half the people who are renting in the South West are in bad

:06:25. > :06:26.housing according to Shelter. The charity says there have been more

:06:27. > :06:30.than 13,000 complaints against private landlords in the region in

:06:31. > :06:33.the last four years. It's launching a campaign to get more local

:06:34. > :06:35.councils to take action against rogue landlords. Alison Johns

:06:36. > :06:39.reports. 75`year`old Grace used to live in this rented property in

:06:40. > :06:44.Cornwall. The charity Shelter took these pictures. She complained about

:06:45. > :06:51.the conditions after going to her doctor with chest infections. The

:06:52. > :06:57.bedroom was damp. The walls in the back, off the kitchen, off the

:06:58. > :07:05.second bedroom, they were single block walls, there were big cracks

:07:06. > :07:10.in them. They were black with moles. After she left the property, she had

:07:11. > :07:13.to go to court to get her deposit back. Shelter says thousands of

:07:14. > :07:18.people in the south`west are living in damp, cold the there dangerous

:07:19. > :07:20.properties. In the last four years, there were thousands of complaints

:07:21. > :07:33.about private landlords in Devon. These pictures were not taken at

:07:34. > :07:37.Grace's house but show some of the conditions Shelter has found in

:07:38. > :07:40.privately rented homes across the country. There is damaged demand for

:07:41. > :07:44.privately rented accommodation because there are not enough homes

:07:45. > :07:53.to go around. There is an opportunity for O good fun `` for

:07:54. > :07:57.rogue landlords to take advantage. Sometimes they harass their

:07:58. > :08:04.tenants. This council has already allocated ?100,000 to the department

:08:05. > :08:10.which tackles bad landlords. When you see what a difference that money

:08:11. > :08:15.can make, impact people 's lives, being able to start turning them

:08:16. > :08:21.around and get them into some accommodation that is fit for human

:08:22. > :08:26.habitation. I spoke to a woman in another part of Devon about problems

:08:27. > :08:33.with her former landlord. She wants to keep her identity secret. My

:08:34. > :08:38.clothes went mouldy. Food was going mouldy in containers. My brother had

:08:39. > :08:44.to go into the living room from the bedroom to sleep. My son was in the

:08:45. > :08:49.dining room. My mother and I had to put up with what we had. I was

:08:50. > :08:54.washing walls down with bleach all of the time. We had the fumes from

:08:55. > :09:00.the bleach and the moles as well. Disgraceful. The landlord was

:09:01. > :09:05.ordered to make improvements. Most of the councils in the south`west

:09:06. > :09:13.have already signed up to the campaign by Shelter. Today it is

:09:14. > :09:16.asking the rest to do so. We've already been contacted by one

:09:17. > :09:20.landlord who says that often tenants leave the properties in a terrible

:09:21. > :09:23.state. She says she's spent a fortune on good homes for tenants

:09:24. > :09:25.but has to deal with drugs, fights, constant complaints from neighbours

:09:26. > :09:29.and trashed rooms. If you'd like to get in touch with

:09:30. > :09:32.us, you can do via e`mail. And do remember please to leave us a

:09:33. > :09:37.contact telephone number or e`mail address.

:09:38. > :09:41.Coming up: How the region's schools will be affected by strike action.

:09:42. > :09:43.Plus, one young woman's amazing determination to deal with breast

:09:44. > :09:46.cancer. And we're off in search of some

:09:47. > :09:55.spectacular Autumn colour on Dartmoor.

:09:56. > :09:59.The Information Commissioner has ruled that the Council of the Isles

:10:00. > :10:04.of Scilly breached the Data Protection Act following the

:10:05. > :10:08.suspension of a headmaster. He was suspended from his post at the

:10:09. > :10:12.school in May last year and has strongly protested his innocence.

:10:13. > :10:15.The Information Commissioner says the council acted unfairly in

:10:16. > :10:24.sending three reports to the empty containing private information.

:10:25. > :10:27.Campaigners opposed to a new incinerator which will turn much of

:10:28. > :10:30.Cornwall's waste into energy say they'll carry on fighting even

:10:31. > :10:34.though construction is now well under way. Cornwall Council says

:10:35. > :10:37.it's been losing around ?1 million a month because of delays to the

:10:38. > :10:39.scheme, but the plant should be working from 2016. Our environment

:10:40. > :10:42.correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.

:10:43. > :10:46.Traditionally, this area of Cornwall has been best known for its clay

:10:47. > :10:50.workings. Take a look over year and you will see things changing.

:10:51. > :10:56.Engineers are working on a striking addition to the landscape. This is

:10:57. > :11:00.how it is predicted the new energy from waste plant will look once it

:11:01. > :11:06.is fully operational by May, 2016. At the moment, the diggers are busy

:11:07. > :11:11.excavating a massive hole which can store three or four days of rubbish.

:11:12. > :11:16.The company running it says that the park will generate a lot of energy.

:11:17. > :11:23.It would produce for export, after the energy we have used on the

:11:24. > :11:29.site, almost 70 megawatts of power. What is that in a number of homes?

:11:30. > :11:31.About 20,000 houses which is not insignificant. We have made

:11:32. > :11:39.provision in the design of the facility to provide heat for the

:11:40. > :11:44.clay industry which is very near the site. The side of the construction

:11:45. > :11:49.work has upset local campaigners who fought against it since the planning

:11:50. > :11:53.application for the plant was admitted in 2008. I do not think it

:11:54. > :11:59.is value for money. The council contract, it was completely biased

:12:00. > :12:03.in favour of the contract. It is outrageous that taxpayers have got

:12:04. > :12:10.to foot the bill. It is expected to deal with much of Cornwall's waste

:12:11. > :12:19.for the next 25 years. Sceptics say there are more modern ways to deal

:12:20. > :12:22.with waste other than burning it. One woman's fight against breast

:12:23. > :12:25.cancer has attracted more than 150,000 followers online. Laura

:12:26. > :12:29.Cannon from Salcombe in Devon was just 22 when she was diagnosed last

:12:30. > :12:32.year. This summer she underwent a double mastectomy and a gruelling

:12:33. > :12:35.course of chemotherapy. Laura has been writing about her experience in

:12:36. > :12:40.a blog called Laura Louise and her Naughty Disease. We'll hear from her

:12:41. > :12:45.in a moment. But first, here are some extracts from the blog.

:12:46. > :12:52.February, the 22nd. I told you pigs could fly. A mixture of new tablets

:12:53. > :13:02.and a love for water has improved my chemotherapy experience.

:13:03. > :13:10.Pink lipstick was an absolute must. August the 14th. I saw my plastic

:13:11. > :13:17.surgeon on Monday when he looked at his handiwork, the words ding`dong

:13:18. > :13:22.came out of his mouth. That has got to be good news, right? I have been

:13:23. > :13:26.working out how to rock the very short hair look. It is difficult to

:13:27. > :13:29.feel feminine. I've been talking to Laura who

:13:30. > :13:35.started by telling me about the moment she was diagnosed with breast

:13:36. > :13:40.cancer. The day I found out was pretty tricky. I was pretty numb. I

:13:41. > :13:44.did not really listen to what the doctors said when they gave the

:13:45. > :13:50.original diagnosis and what the action plan was. My main concern was

:13:51. > :13:56.that I did not want to cry because I did not want to worry my mum who was

:13:57. > :14:02.in the same room. I focused my energy on that. Then the blog came

:14:03. > :14:07.about. What started it? My mum suggested it might be a good way for

:14:08. > :14:11.me to write stuff down. It was also good for family and friends because

:14:12. > :14:16.so many people were asking me questions. I did not really have

:14:17. > :14:20.time to tell them all. A good record for them. What difference did it

:14:21. > :14:27.make for you being so open and public about your disease? I don't

:14:28. > :14:32.know. I think it was quite liberating. It was nice to be so

:14:33. > :14:35.honest and have someone tell the story from a positive point of

:14:36. > :14:40.view. I tried to be positive. Obviously, there were times when I

:14:41. > :14:45.maybe wasn't. But I wanted to approach it with that sort of

:14:46. > :14:49.attitude. You tell the story of various difficult stages of treating

:14:50. > :14:53.the disease. The moment your hair was shaved off. There are

:14:54. > :14:58.photographs of that. That must have been particularly difficult. Why did

:14:59. > :15:05.you decide to share something so intimate? Because I wanted to make

:15:06. > :15:11.that moment memorable. I had my hair shaved into different styles, a

:15:12. > :15:15.Mohawk. I wanted to look back and laugh and have some funny things to

:15:16. > :15:19.remember, not just remember it as the really sad day when my hair

:15:20. > :15:25.went. Something as simple as putting the scorer on, you detail in the

:15:26. > :15:30.blog. A lot of women take it for granted. That was quite a

:15:31. > :15:37.milestone. A really nice day, to be able to put mascara on. Something I

:15:38. > :15:44.missed doing. I did not have eyelashes. What feedback have you

:15:45. > :15:49.got? 150,000 people reading it. What feedback you getting? Luckily, only

:15:50. > :15:53.positive. I have had feedback from relatives, people going through

:15:54. > :15:58.similar things, from different cancers, saying, thank you for being

:15:59. > :16:05.positive, thank you for providing something for us to read that is

:16:06. > :16:13.nice rather than depressing. I think... It has been really nice.

:16:14. > :16:17.Where do you go from here? First of all, the treatment. You are on

:16:18. > :16:22.radiotherapy at the moment. Something you were hoping to avoid.

:16:23. > :16:28.Having to have radiotherapy for quite a long time. It should not be

:16:29. > :16:33.too difficult, the doctors tell me. Five weeks. I plan on detailing

:16:34. > :16:42.side`effects and that sort of thing. We wish you well with the treatment.

:16:43. > :16:46.Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Thousands of teachers across the

:16:47. > :16:49.south west are due to take part in strike action tomorrow. Members of

:16:50. > :16:52.teaching unions the NASUWT and the NUT are protesting about pay and

:16:53. > :16:55.pensions. Hundreds of schools across the region are expected to be

:16:56. > :16:58.affected. In Cornwall, 104 schools will be closed or partially closed.

:16:59. > :17:02.In Somerset, the figure is 79. In Plymouth, 52 schools will be

:17:03. > :17:05.affected. In Devon, it's 43. And 19 in Torbay. Dorset were unable to

:17:06. > :17:08.provide us with figures, but the advice is that all parents should

:17:09. > :17:19.check with their child's school. John Henderson reports.

:17:20. > :17:23.On the eve of a teachers' like, a rally in Totnes. For many taking

:17:24. > :17:28.part in the industrial action, there is a pity for parents and anger

:17:29. > :17:33.towards the government. It is the second time I have gone on strike in

:17:34. > :17:37.the last 20 years and I do not do it lightly. I believe it is worth

:17:38. > :17:42.campaigning and fighting for it. There is little doubt that a strike

:17:43. > :17:46.by teachers can be highly disruptive. Outside one school this

:17:47. > :17:51.afternoon, parents were making plans. I had to say to my boss, I

:17:52. > :17:56.cannot come in on Thursday. I also tried nursery and they are closed as

:17:57. > :18:00.well. My options were completely stumped. Described annoying because

:18:01. > :18:07.most working parents have got to take days off. `` I think it is

:18:08. > :18:13.quite annoying. I am having to use my daughter's dance studio. We get

:18:14. > :18:20.charged ?60 a time for taking the children out of school. Obviously,

:18:21. > :18:25.are we going to get compensation back?

:18:26. > :18:33.The government has defended its plans to reform pay structures, but

:18:34. > :18:38.unions say it is not just about pay. We are taking the action with

:18:39. > :18:47.great regret. Unfortunately, if we do not stand up on this time, we may

:18:48. > :18:54.not get the chance again. Education could be irrevocably changed

:18:55. > :18:58.forever. Parents are left picking up the pieces when the schools close.

:18:59. > :19:01.A special live page will feature on Devon and Cornwall's BBC websites

:19:02. > :19:15.with the latest developments, reaction and comment on the strike

:19:16. > :19:19.across England. A man from Cornwall is appealing for

:19:20. > :19:21.help after he says his cat was kidnapped. The cat, Minx,

:19:22. > :19:24.disappeared last month from her home in Lostwithial.

:19:25. > :19:28.But then several weeks later, letters were sent saying the cat had

:19:29. > :19:32.been taken away so she could start a new life in the country. The police

:19:33. > :19:41.are treating the case as theft. Eleanor Parkinson reports. New ``

:19:42. > :19:47.this man spent months looking for his cat, Minx. She was only just

:19:48. > :19:51.recovering from an operation and he feared she had been run over. A

:19:52. > :19:59.series of letters revealed that she had been taken to a new home. A

:20:00. > :20:04.letter was received by the shop, purporting to be written by the cat.

:20:05. > :20:07.It was saying that she had met these people and they lived in the

:20:08. > :20:12.countryside and the cat wanted to go and live with them in the

:20:13. > :20:16.countryside. Later it goes on to say that I am missing you all,

:20:17. > :20:23.especially my dad, please let him know I am OK. Minx is very

:20:24. > :20:30.well`known in the town. Spent time in shops and she would accompany her

:20:31. > :20:34.owner to the local to sit on a bar stool. People in the town say she

:20:35. > :20:41.should be returned. Always here in the street or in the doorway of the

:20:42. > :20:45.social club. She used to follow her owner in and sit on the bar stool.

:20:46. > :20:51.When he came out, she would come and sit by the side of him. She followed

:20:52. > :20:58.him back home again. I have been putting posters up. Nigel is hoping

:20:59. > :21:01.his poster campaign will help in his quest to get her back. Police are

:21:02. > :21:05.treating it as theft. Understandably, the owner is upset

:21:06. > :21:16.and they ask anyone with any information to contact them.

:21:17. > :21:19.Although many of us are sad to see the end of summer, autumn does bring

:21:20. > :21:21.its own seasonal rewards, particularly as the leaves start to

:21:22. > :21:24.change colour. Apparently, we could be set for a

:21:25. > :21:28.dazzling display this year. Emily Wood has been to a garden on the

:21:29. > :21:31.edge of Dartmoor to find out more. Today has been a typical mix of

:21:32. > :21:37.autumn weather was. Thankfully, the sun did come out in time for my

:21:38. > :21:40.visit to the garden to meet up with the head gardener and to find out

:21:41. > :21:43.why we get the change of colours that this time of year. As autumn

:21:44. > :21:49.approaches and the temperatures change, the chlorophyll stops going

:21:50. > :21:53.out to the leaves and they become less green. The other chemicals

:21:54. > :21:57.stored in the leaves which are in the reds and yellows spectrum become

:21:58. > :22:04.more visible. For best autumn colour, you needed to be dry and

:22:05. > :22:12.sunny and dry and cool at night. Apparently, these trees will

:22:13. > :22:18.guarantee a range of autumnal colour. They are displaying the

:22:19. > :22:27.spectrum you would expect, green, read, purple, bronze. Other species

:22:28. > :22:36.of trees express other colours. Strong yellows, strong reds. This is

:22:37. > :22:39.a pinky orange. As well as a good range of colours, there has been a

:22:40. > :22:49.bumper crop foremost through fruit trees as well `` bumper crops for

:22:50. > :22:55.most fruit trees. This is covered in fruit. Still quite green. This is

:22:56. > :23:00.one of the latest things to turn. It will go bright yellow in a couple of

:23:01. > :23:06.weeks. Heading properly into autumn and over the next few weeks we will

:23:07. > :23:09.be seeing spectacular colours in the region's Gardens and hopefully

:23:10. > :23:15.having some fine weather to go out and see them.

:23:16. > :23:21.I do love the colours that this time of year. You can see that report on

:23:22. > :23:25.the Facebook page again if you want to. Let as see what the weather has

:23:26. > :23:35.in store. The weather is going to remain

:23:36. > :23:40.reasonably kind to us tonight and tomorrow. A bit of a change on

:23:41. > :23:46.Friday. Tomorrow, breezy, the risk of a few showers. Equally, plenty of

:23:47. > :23:50.sunshine to enjoy. The main area of rain, the great thick line of cloud

:23:51. > :23:53.has moved away from us this afternoon. Clear skies further out

:23:54. > :23:59.to the west bringing us a fair amount of clear skies tonight. This

:24:00. > :24:02.lump of cloud may come through the Bristol Channel overnight. A line of

:24:03. > :24:06.showers will cross us. Tomorrow, even though it does not appear

:24:07. > :24:10.straightaway, there is a weak ridge of high pressure over southern

:24:11. > :24:15.Britain are keeping us effectively mainly dry. It will change by

:24:16. > :24:20.Friday. Friday, several weather systems queueing up to bring us

:24:21. > :24:22.rain. This area of low pressure is taking up much of the North

:24:23. > :24:27.Atlantic. Staying on settled into the weekend. There is the picture

:24:28. > :24:31.from earlier. You can see how quickly the rain moved out of the

:24:32. > :24:35.way. For a large part of the afternoon, some of us had almost

:24:36. > :24:39.unbroken sunshine. Showers around now which will pep up overnight.

:24:40. > :24:42.Drifting into parts of North Cornwall, through the North Somerset

:24:43. > :24:48.coast, the Bristol Channel and along towards the M4. Enough clear skies

:24:49. > :24:52.to give a glimpse of the almost full moon as well as perhaps allowing the

:24:53. > :24:58.temperatures to fall. The only thing that. That is the strength of

:24:59. > :25:04.reason. Quite windy overnight. `` the only thing that will stop that

:25:05. > :25:08.is the strength of breeze. Tomorrow, a fair amount of sunny spells. The

:25:09. > :25:15.risk of a few showers. Fairly isolated. Lengthy spells of sunshine

:25:16. > :25:18.in the afternoon. The breeze continues to drop. It will take time

:25:19. > :25:25.but eventually it will become less windy. The winds will come round to

:25:26. > :25:30.becoming southerly. Temperatures higher than we should expect at the

:25:31. > :25:35.time of year. Make the most of tomorrow. That is the best advice.

:25:36. > :25:41.Quite a big change as we move into Friday. The forecast for the Isles

:25:42. > :25:53.of Scilly, some sunny spells. Small chance of showers. Less windy in the

:25:54. > :25:57.afternoon. Times of high water... If you are heading for the beach to do

:25:58. > :26:05.surfing, I think it is likely to be a bit on the messy side. Find some

:26:06. > :26:11.shelter perhaps and you might get some decent surfing in. The south

:26:12. > :26:18.coast is similar. Rather messy. There is the coastal waters

:26:19. > :26:20.forecast... Winds from the West. Backing around and becoming

:26:21. > :26:25.south`west. Decreasing through the day. Fair but with the risk of

:26:26. > :26:30.showers. Generally very good visibility out at sea. This does not

:26:31. > :26:35.look too promising, does it? Showers to camp and perhaps even more

:26:36. > :26:40.persistent rain. `` showers to come. The temperatures are pretty

:26:41. > :26:45.good. Remaining frost free overnight for the next few nights. But it will

:26:46. > :26:49.stay on settled. Some quite frequent showers on Saturday and Sunday. The

:26:50. > :26:56.heaviest rain is reserved for a large part of Friday. Quite a wet

:26:57. > :27:00.day and windy too. Some sunshine in between the showers on Saturday and

:27:01. > :27:05.Sunday. Staying relatively mild. Have a good evening.

:27:06. > :27:11.Before we go, the BBC has revealed its plans to mark the momentous

:27:12. > :27:15.events of World War I. And the story of the home front is integral to

:27:16. > :27:19.that. Here in the South West, we're asking for your help in telling the

:27:20. > :27:21.many local stories of the first truly global conflict that helped

:27:22. > :27:25.shape today's Britain. So, if you have a World War One

:27:26. > :27:37.story you'd like to share, please do get in touch.

:27:38. > :27:43.Very important story to tell and we would like your help in doing so. We

:27:44. > :28:13.are back at 6:30pm tomorrow. Good night.

:28:14. > :28:16.You ask us to get behind you and why should we?

:28:17. > :28:18.You're punching above your weight, aren't you?

:28:19. > :28:25.He wouldn't do that to me because he wasn't that sort of a man.
