. A promise of thousands of jobs ` the Prime Minister says Hinkley C | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
will provide a massive boost to the region's economy. Good evening. As a | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
deal is reached to build the new power station, we'll assess the | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
economic and environmental impact. David Cameron has been trying to | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
allay concerns over safety. There are high safety standards in our | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
nuclear industry and there have been for decades and all the time we are | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
asking how can we make the industry safer. It's thought it may be a | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
vegetable oil. It's unclear where it came from. And the best in the | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
country ` a secondary school teacher from Tavistock picks up a major | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
award. There's a promise of thousands of | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
jobs, and millions of pounds of investment in the local economy as a | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
result of the deal struck to build a new nuclear power station at | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Hinkley. The Prime Minister's been in Somerset today to talk about how | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
the area will benefit. Our Somerset Correspondent Clinton Roger reports. | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
Nationally they were talking about a new nuclear dawn. But when the Prime | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
Minister walked into the reactor hall at Hinkley B to meet the | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
existing workforce, he was keen to talk local. To big up the boost to | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
Somerset's economy. 25,000 new job, he said. How many of those do you | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
think will go to local people? From what I have seen today, a lot will | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
go to local people, because this company is investing in local | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
training and colleges to make sure young people can do apprenticeships | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
here and learn skills, very valuable jobs. 200 people lost their jobs | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
when EDF stopped work on Hinkley C after Wraggling over ` wrangling | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
over the place the government would pay. Here there will be a new wharf | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
build to accommodate ships bringing in building materials that will be | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
stored in a depot the size of 20 football pitches here. It was bound | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
to happen. It is a major project which could have national benefits, | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
but it will impact op smul `` on small communities like this. In | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Cannington, they're bracing themselves for chaos. They have been | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
promised a bypass, the trouble is that won't be built for at least a | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
year and in the meanwhile traffic through this village will increase | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
dramatically, up to 700 extra lorry movements each day. But the Prime | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Minister was telling everyone today it's short`term pain for long`term | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
gain. And if all goes to plan, if, when the sun sets on this reactors | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
in 2023, the new ones should be up and running. The scale of the | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
project at Hinkley Point makes it easily the biggest one`off | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
investment ever to have been made in the region. Would`be sub`contractors | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
up and down the south west are keenly eyeing the potential | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
spin`offs. Our business correspondent Neil Gallacher | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
reports. It maybe east of Minehead, but when you're talking about a ?16 | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
billion project, there are so in possible spin offs that businesses | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
the length and breadth of the peninsula consider Hinkley Point to | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
be firmly on their doorstep. Many different companies right the way | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
across the region will now be looking to get involved in the power | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
station build ` from suppliers of food and drink, who know there is a | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
big onsite work force that's going to be to need to be fed, to | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
manufactures of all sorts of hardware, such as these pipes and | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
chambers at this firm in Plymouth. And Hinkley Point won't just provide | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
jobs for firms like this, it will provide a great deal of direct | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
employment. Trade unions are expecting in 25,000 workers to pass | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
through the building site during the course of construction. More spin | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
offs for the whole region. By definition we are not going to be be | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
able to source all those workers in Somerset, Cornwall or Devon ` it's | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
going to be a project that's going to go right across this part of the | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
world and the South West, but even nationally across the UK and | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
potentially internationally as well. The international dimensions are | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
less welcome, according to some commentators. The involvement of not | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
just the French, but the Chinese too could water down the economic | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
benefits, if it means that contracts go to a growing pool of foreign | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
subcontractors. We need to compete now much harder than perhaps we | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
thought we might. EDF Energy had already guaranteed there would be | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
significant procurements through local supply chain. Now we have to | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
partly share that and we think the division is about 40% with the | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Chinese investors. So perhaps not quite as valuable a prize as first | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
expected. But for many firms, still easily the biggest single game in | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
town. Whilst today's news has been welcomed by some, others will never | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
be convinced by the nuclear argument ` saying it's just too dangerous. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Many of those concerns revolve around the question of nuclear waste | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
and what we do with it. Laura Jones has been looking into the issue. At | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
last Hinkley Point has gone into production. 1965 and Hinkley A goes | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
on online. The technology was new and exciting, promising cheap and | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
clean energy. But as time went on, high profile accidents like in | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
Chernobyl and the question of waste raised questions. Each year our | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
nuclear power stations produce large amounts of nuclear waste. Some it | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
low level and some is high level. The sort that will continue to be | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
dangerously radioactive for thousands of years. And there is | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
already enough of it in the UK to fill ten Olympic`sized swimming | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
pools, but at the moment there is no real long`term plan on what to do | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
with it. Waste prodeuced at Hinkley C will be stored on site for at | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
least the life of the plant. Something people were protesting | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
about. After that it will still need to be stored safely somewhere else | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
for thousands of years and as yet there is nowhere to do that. The | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
problem is it creates a highly dangerous waste product that must be | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
kept away for thousands of years. We don't know want to do where that. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
But we know we have paid more than ?70 billion to try and deal with | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
this problem and that's just from the power stations that already | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
exist. In Somerset we have a problem because of the design of the | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
reactor, you won't be able to move the waste for over 100 years. So | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
people, their great grandchildren's grandchildren will still be living | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
with this problem. Some countries have decided this is too high a | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
price to pay. Germany has said no to nuclear, the last plant there will | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
shut in nine years time. So there will need to be massive investment | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
in alternatives. But many believe this is the only answer, because the | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
legacy of nuclear just isn't worth it. Earlier, I spoke to the leader | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
of Somerset County Council, John Osman, who has welcomed what he | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
believes will be a jobs boost for the area. I asked him what | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
guarantees he had that the jobs would go to local people. Somerset | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
County Council have been working hard with EDF and the district | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
councils to say we want Somerset people involved in this, Somerset | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
businesses involved in this. And we got assurances from EDF that when | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
they're putting out contracts that they will actually consider strongly | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
Somerset`based companies. I was just with David Eccles at EDF today when | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
he was talking about the the agreements they're reaching with | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
local companies. So I think it is a good news story for Somerset | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
businesses. This is all coming at a cost of course, how do you feel | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
about the fact that the Government is offering way above what the | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
current prices per hour megawatt of electricity to guarantee EDF build | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
Hinkely C? Something taxpayers in Somerset and the rest of the UK are | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
going to have to pay. Well, we have got a choice. There is a ?16 billion | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
investment that's going to take place in Somerset. We want that | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
investment to place for the benefits not only to Somerset, but to the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
country. So there is a price to pay for this. And in ten years time, | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
when the first energy is produced from Hinkely Point, who knows where | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
the price will be. So yes, it is a bit of a gamble, but this country | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
needs energy production and it can't afford to be standing still, because | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
from 2015 and so on, gas stations in this country are going to close and | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
there is nothing to replace them. What about the safety implications, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
because as the County Council, you have got a requirement to make sure | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
the residents of Somerset are also safe, there's going to be waste | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
stored at the site for the first time. What guarantees have you got | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
about the safety for the people living near Hinkely? We have looked | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
very heavily into safety. Safety of our residents is most important. We | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
know what has happened elsewhere in the world and that led to a very | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
helpful period where we were able to stop, pause and actually consider | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
safety a lot more than perhaps we had done previously. So I'm very | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
happy with what I heard from a safety perspective. You know, Japan | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
and Russia, there are various issue as to why those nuclear accidents | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
happened. But I don't think it's a day to be talking about the what | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
ifs. Hinkely Point has been there for some 40 years. Has it ever been | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
in the headlines? I don't think it has. So if they were building it in | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
your back garden in Somerset, you wouldn't mind? Well, I wouldn't | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
mind, but I'm a supporter of nuclear power. Thank you. Ships have been | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
banned from flushing a cleaning chemical from their tanks at sea. | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Earlier this year, thousands of sea birds were killed by the substance | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
PIB in the water. Now all discharge of the chemical at sea is banned. | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
Meanwhile an unknown substance washed up on three beaches in West | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Cornwall has been sent for tests. A large quantity of the material has | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
been found on the remote beaches near Porthcurno. The pollution was | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
reported to emergency services by a beach user yesterday afternoon. | :10:41. | :10:53. | |
Spotlight's David George reports. Pedn Vounder Beach is remote and | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
difficult to get to. A steep path leads down the cliff. On Sunday | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
locals found a large quantity of a white material strewn across the | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
beach. Toxic isn't it? It is oily`based. It is not paraffin. It | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
is paraffin. At first glance the stuff looks like white pebbles. We | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
found some all along the strand line. To me, it looks and smells | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
like fire lighters. The coastguard say more has been found at | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
Porthcurno and Port Chapel. There is concern for wildlife and humans. A | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
lot of people bathe down here and fish down here. This time of year | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
people are fishing. The concern is just it is obvious lay chemical | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
thing which I don't know whether it has been thrown over board a ship or | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
just a spillage. I don't know. After the initial reports to the | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
authorities, Cornwall fire and rescue and coastguards came to the | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
beach. I understand the Coastguard Agency and the Environment Agency | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
are discuss `` discussing how to deal with the material. The National | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
Trust are advising people not to touch the substance. The coastguard | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
say they don't believe there have been any effects on the wildlife so | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
far. They say they have sent samples of the material to be analysed and | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
they're trying to find the source of the pollution. Parking charges in | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
part of the South West are to be cut to ?2 a day to try to attract | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
shoppers back into the town centres. Torbay Council is to trial the new | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
charge for four months to see if it helps the local economy. It will | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
make it one of the cheapest urban centres in the region. Prices vary | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
from car park to car park, but in Plymouth you can pay up to ?12 in a | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
prime location. It's a similar amount in Exeter and in Truro it can | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
cost up to ?10. Our South Devon reporter John Ayres has been | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
assessing the possible impact. We all know the problem ` if you don't | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
purchase enough time, you run the risk of an expensive parking fine. | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
Businesses are claiming that that, along with high parking charges, | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
drives people away from town centres. Torbay has the weakest | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
economy in the region. The new all day ticket is being widely welcomed. | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
It will inspire confidence, I'm already thinking do I need some more | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
staff? And I'm hoping that others will think this is a good time to | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
open in Torquay, we'll open some of these empty shops. All day ticket, | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
24 hours a day, you move around the whole Bay, enjoy what's in Brixham | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
and Torquay, Paignton. It's brilliant. It's coming at a time | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
when Torbay is having to make millions of pounds worth of cuts to | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
balance the books. So can it afford to do it? It's the right time, | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
because this is when people have got less money, they can't afford to | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
come into town if they're paying exorbitant prices, so if we bring | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
the prices down and we bring the foot fall in ` it's the right time. | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
The new ?2 charge starts in November, helping both visitors and | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
commuters. Although the council will have to weigh up whether it | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
encourages people away from more sustainable transport. I'm sure the | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
?2 all day would bring in more locals back into the town centre. I | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
believe there shouldn't be any charges at all. Unfortunately, I | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
think that the parking charges for Torbay particularly is a good money | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
spinner. With money as tight as it is, this is a bold move by Torbay | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
Council. Just doing this story today has cost me twice as much in parking | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
as it will do when the new charges come in. What Torbay council's got | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
to weigh up is whether over the next few months it is a big enough boost | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
to the economy to be worth it. Time for the sport with the ups and downs | :14:53. | :15:06. | |
from the weekend. Despite gaining a point at Huish Park, Yeovil Town | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
have slipped to the bottom of the Championship. The top performance in | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
League Two came from Exeter City. They thumped Scunthorpe United 4`0 | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
in Lincolnshire. Here's how the managers, BBC local radio and the | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
fans viewed the displays. When you come up against the Brightons that | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
were one game or two games away from the Premiership last year, then you | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
know we mustn't be disappointed with a 0`0 result. Yes, we may be at the | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
bottom of the league, but we are gaining experience, the lads are | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
gaining experience against these type of teams that can keep the | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
ball, they're clever, they're strong, they're fit. COMMENTATOR: | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
Chips the ball forward and that's the opening goal, terrific goal! | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
Shot comes in again ` what a goal! A second goal in the space of four | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
second half minutes. The initial shot from Grimes, and Parkin scores. | :16:03. | :16:16. | |
James on to his right foot and that is through defender and ten`man | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Hartlepool on the breakaway take the lead. We scored two last week, we | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
hit the post today. Sometimes it goes for you. If you're being | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
positive and trying to score goals and get into those positions, that's | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
all you can ask and we know we have got the quality, because we are | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
scoring. It's just today was about the other end of the pitch. You | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
know, you concede eight in three games, you know you have got to do | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
something about it. So fantastic clean sheet for us, especially going | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
to ten. Exeter Chiefs went down to their first defeat in rugby's | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
European Cup this season. A 20`16 reverse at Glasgow Warriors leaves | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
pool two wide open. After two games, all the teams have won once with the | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Chiefs next coming up against reigning Champions Toulon twice in | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
December. Although Exeter led 9`6 at the interval in Scotland, two quick | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
tries turned the score in Glasgow's favour. Dave Ewers' late try earned | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
the Chiefs a losing bonus point. Finally, it's been a promising day | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
for the Sills twins in the Youth World Windsurfing championships in | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
Citavecchia in Italy. Imogen and Saskia, from Lawhitton near | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Launceston, are fifth and ninth respectively after the first day's | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
racing. Now despite having 11 airfields, 12 radar stations, five | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
air`sea rescue units and even two secret listening posts in Devon | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
during the Second World War, the RAF's service to the county has gone | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
unrecognised in Exeter. Today RAF personnel joined their counterparts | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
from the Navy, Army and Royal Marines to be granted the Freedom of | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
the City. John Henderson reports. A proud day for Exeter, a proud day | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
for the RAF. 100 airmen and women marched in to be granted the freedom | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
of the city. The honour was bestowed on personnel from Brize Norton, the | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
closest operational air station to Exeter. Number 2 flight. Steady. I'm | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
pleased that I came today. Tremendous. But rather late in the | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
day. Spit fires and hurricanes were a a common sight here in the 1940 t. | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
Time for that service and more to be officially recognised. There were 11 | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
airfields, there were 12 radar stations and two secret listening | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
posts and then there were the territorials and the royal observer | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
department. So massive involvement. That involvement continues even now. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Some of those taking part in the parade are from the region. It was a | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
good turn out and it has been enjoyable. A proud moment? Yes, | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
almost as my career, yes up there. Hercules provided a fly past and | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
then it was on to take the salute, the RAF joining the navy, army and | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
Royal Marines to become free men and women of Exeter. A teacher from | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
Devon has been voted the best secondary school teacher in the | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
country at an award ceremony in London. Crispin Chambers, from | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Tavistock College, has been teaching Japanese for 17 years. The judges | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
who saw him teach said he was a joy to watch. In a moment, we'll be | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
chatting with Crispin in the studio, but first Johnny Rutherford has this | :19:53. | :20:07. | |
report. A Japanese rap, one of the fun techniques used by Crispin | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
Chambers and this and other methods helped him win. From Tavistock | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
college in Devon, he is Crispin Chambers. He started teaching | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
Japanese 17 years ago and from the start preferred different teaching | :20:26. | :20:35. | |
methods. As far as the pupil go, I'm the Sensai. And if they see me, that | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
is how they refer to me. The success rate of students is high. At GCSE | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
more than half consistently achieve an A or A`star. I know so many | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
students who has motivated them to take Japanese into all parts of | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
their live and they have embraced the language and some are living and | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
working in Japan. We are thrilled and delight and proud of him. He is | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
the sort of teacher that you look back on and remember fondly in those | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
wow moments that are life`changing. It is easy to learn when taught | :21:12. | :21:23. | |
well. Your school has a message for you. As promised Crispin is here. I | :21:24. | :21:36. | |
suspect your pupils are congratulating you. Yes, they're | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
saying congratulations to me. What an honour to win this award. A huge | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
honour. And I'm so privileged. Why do you think you're so special, I | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
know you have won awards before. What makes you such a good teacher. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
The great skill about teaching Japanese is to give students the | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
confidence and belief to succeed. The belief that they can go to Japan | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
and make themselves understood. I was very moved when the Japanese | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
ambassador said to me, aim the am `` I am the ambassador Japan, but | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
you're the ambassador of the Japanese language. What was the | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
ceremony like last night, some famous faces? Very exciting. I was | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
delighted to gone o' stage and meet Clare Balding. She spoke good | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Japanese. I was very surprised. I was thrilled so many supporters were | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
there from Tavistock and I greeted them in Japanese. It is an unusual | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
subject, but it looks great fun? Yes and it is not as difficult as people | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
think. The students find it very enjoyable. They do well at GCSE. So | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
they enjoy the fact that they can achieve and then take them to Japan, | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
for know take students to Tokyo to experience Japanese life and the | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
beauty of Japan and the generosity of the people is fantastic. And I | :23:02. | :23:13. | |
have got to try... SPEAKS IN JAPANESE. Almostperson. Well done. | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
`` Almost perfect. Well done. Now, a very special story of how hospital | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
staff in the South West helped a young woman expelled from Uganda | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
more than 40 years ago is being told by the BBC's Inside Out programme | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
tonight. Hasmita Sakaria, her family and 70,000 others were kicked out of | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
the country by the dictator Idi Amin more than 40 years ago. They were | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
given emergency accommodation in an old army camp on Dartmoor. When they | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
arrived, Hasmita could no longer hide that she was pregnant. As | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
approached the doctor, said I'm pregnant. He said well, sit aside | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
and we will check you. Then the nurses got together and made me sit | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
down and that afternoon they rushed me to hospital. You can see more on | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
that story in tonight's Inside Out, on BBC1 in just over half an hour at | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
7.30. Hello I am here we are just a bit in the dark. It is time for the | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
weather. Have we not paid the bill? Hopefully you can see me. It has | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
been a miserable day across the South West. Not op have we had some | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
`` only have we had some heavy rain, but some strong winds and the rest | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
of the week is mild, but windy with heavy rain. Frost`free is perhaps | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
the only good news. By the end of the week it could be very wet. We | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
still have some rain around tonight and we have a weather warning. That | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
rain band will be troublesome I think tonight, giving another splash | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
of heavy rain, bch it Pete % out through the `` before it peters out | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
tomorrow. The winds not as strong tomorrow. But we have had gusts up | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
to 55mph. Some really strong busts of wind and gale force winds at the | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
moment around the coasts. The driving force of this weather is a | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
big area of low pressure. It's right in the middle of the Atlantic. It | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
doesn't move particularly far in the next few days, but it splits into | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
two and that gives us some respite on Wednesday. But we have this great | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
line of wet weather creeping towards us. That will continue to journ Yip | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
east `` journey east tomorrow. And then we have a brief ridge of high | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
pressure for Wednesday venlt it is only ``. It is only one day. Tonight | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
if you're travel, not only is it windy, but it is wet. And more wet | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
weather to come tonight. The rain band steadily petering out from the | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
west towards the end of the night. But we will wake up to a wet start | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
and another windy night and an unusually mild night with | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
temperatures around 15 degrees. Tomorrow, the rain will peter out, | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
but it will take its time. By the afternoon there is a chance we will | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
see sunshine breaking through, before the next line of showers | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
comes into the far west of Cornwall and sweep through another blustery | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
line of showers. Temperatures tomorrow good, 16 or 17 degrees. | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
Cooler on the coast. Because of the breeze. That will be a strong one. | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
It is a strong southernly bris, probably strongest around the Isles | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
of Scilly and west Cornwall. Windy with showers through the morning. | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
There is our times of high Peartest water. `` of high water. | :26:41. | :26:54. | |
The wind are from the south or south`west force five to six, | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
occasionally seven. Rain or showers and moderate to good visibility. | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
Brighter on Wednesday. Wet and windy on Thursday and Friday. Thank you. | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
That is all from us. We will have to change some light bulbs. I wonder | :27:13. | :27:21. | |
how many people in the BBC that will take? Quite a few! Good evening: | :27:22. | :27:26. |
