:00:16. > :00:21.urged to stay away, experts say it's a non`hazardous vegetable oil.
:00:22. > :00:26.Good evening. It has made a number of dogs ill and one has died.
:00:27. > :00:29.Cornwall Council has been defending the way it has handled the
:00:30. > :00:34.situation. The process was there, it was
:00:35. > :00:38.followed, we will reassess that process, but I think it is been
:00:39. > :00:41.handled very well. Also tonight...

:00:48. > :00:55.And the village businesses that say they could go under because of a
:00:56. > :00:59.major road closure. Tests carried out on a substance
:01:00. > :01:02.that has been washed up on beaches in West Cornwall have confirmed that
:01:03. > :01:06.it is vegetable oil and not harmful to humans. The authorities say that
:01:07. > :01:09.it does appear to be harmful to dogs and they are continuing to warn
:01:10. > :01:13.owners to keep their animals away from the material.
:01:14. > :01:16.It was last Sunday, four days ago, that the white waxy and foul
:01:17. > :01:20.smelling material was first seen on a beach in the far west of Cornwall
:01:21. > :01:26.near Porthcurno. On Monday it was also seen at Long Rock, Marazion and
:01:27. > :01:30.Praa Sands. Also that day vets became aware that a number of dogs
:01:31. > :01:33.had been made ill after licking the substance. Samples were taken by the
:01:34. > :01:34.Maritime and Coastguard Agency. On Tuesday many more dogs were made
:01:35. > :01:37.sick and one died. Tuesday many more dogs were made
:01:38. > :01:41.sick and Yesterday the Government's Public Health Agency urged people
:01:42. > :01:45.not to handle the material and to avoid going into the sea on affected
:01:46. > :01:46.beaches. As David George reports, today the substance was finally
:01:47. > :02:00.identified. This morning, council contractors
:02:01. > :02:05.began placing warning signs on the affected beaches, the National trust
:02:06. > :02:09.had already done the same on its beaches further west. The public
:02:10. > :02:15.health warning asked people not to handle the material or swim or surf
:02:16. > :02:19.in the sea and to keep dogs away. Initially it was thought to be an
:02:20. > :02:23.inert substance. It was the reports of illness in dogs that meant public
:02:24. > :02:29.health got involved, because by implication there could be human
:02:30. > :02:33.health implications. Despite all the warnings, material
:02:34. > :02:37.was still lying on the beaches this morning. Some dog owners whose
:02:38. > :02:41.animals had been made unwell were frustrated and began to move it
:02:42. > :02:50.themselves. When we find some we try to catch
:02:51. > :02:53.it, but it has a horrible smell, a real stench.
:02:54. > :02:57.You don't know what to do about it when you clear it up yourself.
:02:58. > :03:02.Contractors working for Cornwall Council said they could not start
:03:03. > :03:06.the clearer up until the material had been identified. At lunchtime
:03:07. > :03:12.came the all clear for humans and the contractors moved in. Officials
:03:13. > :03:15.say the delay was caused by the initial belief, which turned out
:03:16. > :03:21.correct, that the substance was not a risk to human health. After an
:03:22. > :03:26.event like this we always go back and assess how it was managed. We
:03:27. > :03:30.will look at what went well, what could be proved, but by and large
:03:31. > :03:34.the processes were followed, it worked well, and it is so
:03:35. > :03:39.unfortunate it has this effect on dogs that had come into contact with
:03:40. > :03:43.the substance. Although Public Health England to say they do know
:03:44. > :03:48.now believe this is harmless palm oil that has gone rancid, they do
:03:49. > :03:52.point out it is unpleasant and `` and pleasant stuff and Donald `` dog
:03:53. > :04:00.owners should keep animals away for it because it has made a number of
:04:01. > :04:03.dogs extremely low. The M5 through Somerset was closed
:04:04. > :04:10.in both directions for around seven hours today after two crashes which
:04:11. > :04:13.left one man dead. It caused traffic chaos in the area with thousands of
:04:14. > :04:16.commuters left stranded. Our Somerset Correspondent, Clinton
:04:17. > :04:23.Rogers, reports. The M5 in Somerset around mania.
:04:24. > :04:27.Both carriageways were close. `` around 9am. Two separate accidents
:04:28. > :04:32.within a mile of each other caused this. They happened on the
:04:33. > :04:36.southbound carriageway close to the Burnham on Sea turn`off. The first
:04:37. > :04:42.was just before six when a car overturned. A minute later this
:04:43. > :04:51.crash happened. This glory here, the orange one there and the white van
:04:52. > :04:53.collided. `` the orange one there. Police believe the two catches were
:04:54. > :05:00.connected. Visibility was clear, but it was
:05:01. > :05:05.dark. As a result of vehicles slowing for the accident further on
:05:06. > :05:09.this incident occurred. One of the lorry drivers was injured in the
:05:10. > :05:14.crash, but was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The car driver
:05:15. > :05:19.involved in the earlier crash was taken to hospital, but later
:05:20. > :05:22.discharged. Wreckage from the accident was strewn across both
:05:23. > :05:27.carriageways, forcing police to close the entire motorway.
:05:28. > :05:38.Diversions were set up, but drivers found themselves stranded for hours.
:05:39. > :05:48.Three hours. Chaos? Terrible. I left at 6:30am this morning. What time is
:05:49. > :05:53.it now? 11! Have your of deliveries? `` have you a lot of deliveries.
:05:54. > :05:57.Police cleared the backlog by turning me `` vehicles around and
:05:58. > :06:00.sending them the wrong way along the motorway.
:06:01. > :06:03.By midday most of the wreckage had been cleared away and a little over
:06:04. > :06:09.an hour later both carriageways were reopened.
:06:10. > :06:14.71 jobs are at risk this evening as pharmaceuticals company AstraZeneca
:06:15. > :06:16.announced plans to close its research laboratory in Brixham. The
:06:17. > :06:20.lab provides environmental support and testing, but the parent company
:06:21. > :06:23.says it no longer fits in with its core business. The announcement has
:06:24. > :06:26.come on the day that Torbay was supposed to be promoting itself as a
:06:27. > :06:28.place for hi`tech companies to flourish. Our South Devon reporter,
:06:29. > :06:38.John Ayres, has more. Any loss of jobs is always bad
:06:39. > :06:42.news, but it is especially bad here in Torbay, which has the weakest
:06:43. > :06:46.economy in the south`west. It came as a bitter blow when it was
:06:47. > :06:51.discovered that AstraZeneca could be closing its laboratory with the loss
:06:52. > :06:55.of 71 jobs in Brixham. It comes on a day that Torbay was supposed to be
:06:56. > :07:00.celebrating what it has in terms of high`tech industries at its high
:07:01. > :07:04.tech forum. It is a day when lots of gadgetry was on show, highlighting
:07:05. > :07:09.what the region has to offer. Torbay is pushing so hard it has even
:07:10. > :07:16.opened an office in the US seeking investment. How do you sell Torbay
:07:17. > :07:20.to the Americans? There are 70,000 municipalities in the US, all have
:07:21. > :07:25.some sort of economic development function. Not many have anything to
:07:26. > :07:31.offer. Do you want to set up your business in the heartland of Iowa? I
:07:32. > :07:34.don't think so. Look at Torbay. With job losses in Brixham on the
:07:35. > :07:39.horizon, events like this become more important. This is about
:07:40. > :07:44.getting the region's high`tech firms to work together and ensuring up and
:07:45. > :07:49.coming talent does not go elsewhere, the so`called brain drain. Students
:07:50. > :07:53.were here looking for jobs and asking why they should come back
:07:54. > :07:58.year after university for work. I have always wanted to go away, but
:07:59. > :08:02.with all this around I will see what happened. I have never realised how
:08:03. > :08:07.much is on offer locally, but at the same time I think I would still like
:08:08. > :08:11.to leave Torbay. It has opened up my eyes a lot. I have seen a lot of new
:08:12. > :08:16.jobs I have never heard before so it is really good. I did not think
:08:17. > :08:21.there was going to be that much in Torbay. With a new road being built,
:08:22. > :08:24.Torbay is hoping the economy will turn itself around in the next few
:08:25. > :08:28.years. Everyone knows the borough cannot
:08:29. > :08:31.just rely on tourism. That is what Torbay has been doing to encourage
:08:32. > :08:36.growth in the high`tech sector, but of course it is bad news today,
:08:37. > :08:39.potential loss of 71 jobs at AstraZeneca.
:08:40. > :08:45.The Mayor of Torbay joins me, what are your thoughts?
:08:46. > :08:49.AstraZeneca is a very big player, 105 countries throughout the world.
:08:50. > :08:54.They make the commercial decisions based on really want to expand and
:08:55. > :08:58.changing company policy. They have done the same thing here in Brixham
:08:59. > :09:05.and will be relocating elsewhere in the UK. But, that said, we have been
:09:06. > :09:09.to the conference here today and the exhibition, where we are showing
:09:10. > :09:12.what we can do to help international companies. We have an American
:09:13. > :09:15.office, I have offered to go and meet the company tomorrow to see how
:09:16. > :09:20.we can help and we will support those jobs in one form or another
:09:21. > :09:26.and support the company. There have been a substantial number of
:09:27. > :09:29.enquiries to the company for alternative ways of making the
:09:30. > :09:34.business stay in Brixham. It is high`tech, high quality and I think
:09:35. > :09:38.there will be a lot of interest from universities and other players, so
:09:39. > :09:43.we are reasonably confident we can try and achieve something and save
:09:44. > :09:48.this wonderful asset. We have set up a ?1 million growth fund for this
:09:49. > :09:51.specific purpose. We will be happy to put substantial sums of money
:09:52. > :09:56.available through that fund, set up for this purpose, to assist in
:09:57. > :10:03.maintaining jobs as well as creating them. We will do our best to help
:10:04. > :10:07.the ploy ease and the company. AstraZeneca says it will do all it
:10:08. > :10:11.can to help the staff at a very difficult time.
:10:12. > :10:15.The Environment Agency has been defending a new fish pass it has
:10:16. > :10:17.installed on the River Otter in East Devon.
:10:18. > :10:21.It has cost around ?300,000, but many local people say it is an
:10:22. > :10:24.eyesore and has ruined the look of the river. But the Agency says it
:10:25. > :10:29.will blend in over time. Our Environment Correspondent, Adrian
:10:30. > :10:33.Campbell, reports. The river bank along this stretch of
:10:34. > :10:36.the River Otter in East Devon is a popular spot for walkers, but since
:10:37. > :10:41.the Environment Agency installed this fish pass there has been
:10:42. > :10:46.criticism from local people about its cost, design and impact on the
:10:47. > :10:51.landscape. I have seen the salmon jump, they jump in a great arc.
:10:52. > :10:56.I do not see how they will get up this fish lighter. I hope the
:10:57. > :11:00.Environment Agency know what they are doing. `` this fish ladder. It
:11:01. > :11:03.is the second time in a week it has come over the stones, which improves
:11:04. > :11:06.its look. I looked at the planning application
:11:07. > :11:12.12 months ago and it was somewhere in the region of ?300,000.
:11:13. > :11:23.I have been told it was well in excess of that. This big pile of
:11:24. > :11:25.rocks here was deposited during works carried out on the Wear, and
:11:26. > :11:27.we understand from the Environment Agency they are now the property of
:11:28. > :11:29.the landowner. The idea is eventually to remove
:11:30. > :11:31.them but locals are also annoyed about this.
:11:32. > :11:36.Some suggest the investment would have been better focused on flood
:11:37. > :11:38.defences downstream, but the Environment Agency says taxpayers
:11:39. > :11:42.money was set aside specifically to improve conditions for the fish and
:11:43. > :11:52.claims the fish pash will eventually blend in. `` the fish pass.
:11:53. > :11:55.This has been built over a wet period and it is not going to
:11:56. > :11:59.necessarily embed itself in the landscape immediately. But when the
:12:00. > :12:05.habitat starts to get better, the grass grows, it will look better.
:12:06. > :12:08.The fish pass has taken months to complete but many local residents
:12:09. > :12:12.still need to be convinced it is a good idea.
:12:13. > :12:14.Coming up next, we're off to a village where a road closure is

:12:22. > :12:36.history of a moorland town. Businesses in a South Devon village
:12:37. > :12:39.say they could go under because of a major road closure. The route
:12:40. > :12:42.between Avonwick and the A38 is completely shut for repairs until
:12:43. > :12:46.December. The village shop is said to be losing ?200 a week, and the
:12:47. > :12:53.pub says its takings are down by two thirds. Johnny Rutherford reports.
:12:54. > :12:57.Normally, this pub would have a few punters in for lunch, but the
:12:58. > :13:01.landlord says last week he had to throw away a barrel of real ale due
:13:02. > :13:04.to the lack of customers. He says pubs across the country are
:13:05. > :13:10.struggling to stay open, but the road closure at Avonwick could be
:13:11. > :13:13.the final straw here. We have kept this place open for three and a half
:13:14. > :13:18.years as a small country pub. We have always paid the bills and
:13:19. > :13:22.gotten through, until now. We are really struggling to pay the bills,
:13:23. > :13:27.and if it carries on as it is we will not be able to come and that is
:13:28. > :13:33.the final minute. That will be the end of it. The road between the A38
:13:34. > :13:36.And Avonwick is completely shut for essential repairs and will remain
:13:37. > :13:42.closed until December. The impact is not just affecting the
:13:43. > :13:46.shops in Avonwick next to the diversion but business is miles out
:13:47. > :13:50.of the village. Regular commuters are taking their own alternative
:13:51. > :13:55.routes. This is the road the locals use coming from Totnes going to
:13:56. > :13:59.Plymouth, but since the road closure at Avonwick cars are turning off
:14:00. > :14:05.here to get to the A38, affecting businesses up the road who rely on
:14:06. > :14:09.passing trade. I am losing something between 30%
:14:10. > :14:14.and 50%, I suppose. I can stick it, I can stay, but when
:14:15. > :14:21.it gets dark at 5pm I should shut up. Because there are not enough
:14:22. > :14:25.cars coming past? No. You can see now hardly any goes up
:14:26. > :14:31.here. You get one or two but the road is never as quiet as this. I
:14:32. > :14:33.don't know what you can do about it. Businesses are hoping for
:14:34. > :14:38.compensation. The landlord of the Avon in says he
:14:39. > :14:40.has approached the Highways Agency. There is no compensation available,
:14:41. > :14:45.we have asked. Obviously we would like some help.
:14:46. > :14:52.We are a business, we pay our way, we pay our taxes, our business
:14:53. > :14:55.rates, but apparently it is all one way. There is nothing available for
:14:56. > :14:58.us. Devon county council has apologised
:14:59. > :15:01.for the inconvenience but says the road closure is absolutely necessary

:15:41. > :15:45.though the uniforms are different, the vision is the same.
:15:46. > :15:51.What do you think the Army can bring to the station? Of course, a bit of

:20:29. > :20:33.There is plenty here, including memories of the floods of Ashburton.
:20:34. > :20:37.The pictures show images of how relationships were formed, what jobs
:20:38. > :20:42.people used to do and how they spent their time. For instance, Pamela
:20:43. > :20:47.Lodder used to be a bell ringer. I just enjoyed it, once I had learnt
:20:48. > :20:54.the art of setting the Bell Inn. It took me a long time to get the bill
:20:55. > :20:59.in but I got it in in the end and ran regularly on Sunday mornings.
:21:00. > :21:05.That was my uncle taking along the milk. He used to walk along the town
:21:06. > :21:11.carrying two `` carrying four or five gallon milk cans and tipped it
:21:12. > :21:20.out into people's jogs in the doorway. The tea set as is a contest
:21:21. > :21:26.what it set out to do ` get people talking about their memories.
:21:27. > :21:29.More memories now. A unique piece of clothing from Appledore's history is
:21:30. > :21:32.being resurrected thanks to a group of ladies, their knitting needles
:21:33. > :21:35.and some funding from Europe. The frock has kept generations of
:21:36. > :21:39.fishermen warm and is now all set for a revival. Our North Devon
:21:40. > :21:51.reporter, Andrea Ormsby, has been to take a look at it. Knitting and nice
:21:52. > :21:53.frock, that is what they call this traditional Appledore fishing
:21:54. > :21:57.jersey. It is a straightforward pattern. They have special banding
:21:58. > :22:03.on the shoulder which makes it the Appledore jumper. This is peculiar
:22:04. > :22:06.to Appledore. It is flexible and moulds to your body. They are made
:22:07. > :22:13.to measure. Josie lived in place! All her life and these frocks are
:22:14. > :22:19.part of history. The old ladies next to one another knitting oleander
:22:20. > :22:23.telling a good tale. The jumpers were made to keep each
:22:24. > :22:27.other warm and each one had its own mark.
:22:28. > :22:31.The sad thing is, if a fisherman or seeming `` see man was grounded they
:22:32. > :22:33.could tell really came from by his jumper.
:22:34. > :22:38.They would bring back the jumper and pass it around so he could be
:22:39. > :22:43.identified. Josie is passionate about the Appledore frock and is
:22:44. > :22:46.keeping the tradition alive by teaching these women.
:22:47. > :22:49.It is part of a project by the Museum of Barnstable and North Devon
:22:50. > :22:55.and is backed by funding from North Europe. It is important for funding
:22:56. > :22:59.for the museum because museums are looking at funding in a broader way.
:23:00. > :23:04.We're looking at skills, people's stories, and this project
:23:05. > :23:09.encompasses those personal stories and traditions that have been lost
:23:10. > :23:12.through time. I have done one sleeve and the body, I just have the neck
:23:13. > :23:17.and the other sleeve to pick up and go around.
:23:18. > :23:22.I have done about four inches of knitting and I have had to undo it
:23:23. > :23:26.again. I had to come today to start again. You have a nervous breakdown.
:23:27. > :23:32.First of all it was the twisting at the bottom, but we got over that,
:23:33. > :23:37.the next time it was the gusset. I am now on the important bit, but it
:23:38. > :23:42.has just been lovely learning together. Thanks to Josie and her,
:23:43. > :23:47.it looks like the Appledore is back and fashion.
:23:48. > :23:51.`` back in fashion. That looks like a good, sturdy piece of clothing and
:23:52. > :23:54.we made all need that in the next few days.
:23:55. > :23:58.Yes, we have quite a big area of low pressure heading our way.
:23:59. > :24:01.In the next 24 hours or so I will talk about that. Good evening. We
:24:02. > :24:07.have some rain tonight, accompanying that some strong winds, too. It will
:24:08. > :24:11.all blue `` blow through overnight, tomorrow will be quite windy with a
:24:12. > :24:17.few showers but also some sunshine. Not a bad day. For the next two days
:24:18. > :24:21.we will have rain at night and mainly dry conditions in the
:24:22. > :24:27.daytime, until we get to Sandy. I will come to that in a minute. ``
:24:28. > :24:30.until we get Sunday. The low pressure is dominant, this line of
:24:31. > :24:34.rain is what we are seeing this evening, but it gets to the North
:24:35. > :24:38.Sea by the middle of the day tomorrow. Then we are left with some
:24:39. > :24:44.showers, this line of cloud here will produce some outbreaks of rain
:24:45. > :24:47.tomorrow night and into Saturday. Saturday itself between weather
:24:48. > :24:52.systems, breezy, some showers, mainly dry until Sunday night with
:24:53. > :24:56.some more wet weather. This was the picture from earlier today. We had a
:24:57. > :25:00.fine start but cloud has rolled up and its thick in places, producing
:25:01. > :25:05.some light rain with heavier rain later this evening. This was earlier
:25:06. > :25:17.today with her mates quiet start to the morning in team. `` where we had
:25:18. > :25:20.a nice quiet start. We had some mist which we have not seen so far this
:25:21. > :25:25.year because it has been so windy. These pictures were taken by Alec,
:25:26. > :25:29.our cameraman. A bit of low`lying mist and fog but that was soon
:25:30. > :25:37.cleared because the mist was picked up by the breeze. Overnight tonight
:25:38. > :25:41.it is breezy, winds becoming strong with outbreaks of rain. Some of the
:25:42. > :25:46.ring will turn out quite heavy in the small hours of the morning. It
:25:47. > :25:50.is moving quite fast, so by tomorrow morning it is moving away, first
:25:51. > :25:55.from Cornwall then from West Devon. The breeze also dropping as the rain
:25:56. > :25:59.moves out of the way. Much milder than last night, real it was into
:26:00. > :26:04.single figures, tonight probably know lower than 13 or 14 Celsius.
:26:05. > :26:09.Tomorrow the rain clears them for a time it is dry, maybe some sunshine
:26:10. > :26:13.giving some good temperatures. We're almost at the end of October and we
:26:14. > :26:20.have temperatures around 18 Celsius ` pretty warm for the of year.
:26:21. > :26:25.Especially so close eastern part of Devon into Somerset, a little cooler
:26:26. > :26:28.around the coastline with the stiff southwestern breeze. For the Isles
:26:29. > :26:32.of Scilly, mainly dry, a chance of more cloud in the afternoon, but
:26:33. > :26:37.sunny spells in the morning at least. The breeze also from the
:26:38. > :26:41.south`west. The times of high water...
:26:42. > :26:47.The surf on the north coast will be a bit messy, but with an onshore
:26:48. > :26:54.breeze it is still on the choppy side on the south coast.
:26:55. > :27:01.We are worried about Sunday into Monday. We have quite an active area
:27:02. > :27:05.of low pressure developing. These are the winds Sunday night into
:27:06. > :27:08.Monday. This little girl develops and tracks across the middle of
:27:09. > :27:12.Britain bringing the strength of wind. It is a deep area of low
:27:13. > :27:16.pressure, I'm usually so, and we have an early warning of the
:27:17. > :27:21.strength of wind Sunday night into Monday. We could have gusts up to 70
:27:22. > :27:31.mph in the small hours of the morning on Monday. We will have a
:27:32. > :27:34.much better idea by this time tomorrow, we will have an update for
:27:35. > :27:36.you then, but sunny intimately windy conditions and at times quite wet.
:27:37. > :27:40.Thank you. Those winds looked incredible. I do not like the sound
:27:41. > :27:43.of that. That is it from us this evening, we are back tomorrow at
:27:44. > :27:45.6:30pm. Thank you for joining us, have a
:27:46. > :27:54.lovely evening. Good night. This is Malcolm, who owns Iceland.
:27:55. > :27:56.He's the one that's going to present us with
:27:57. > :27:59.the ten grand. When we win it.
