Monday. That is all from the BBC's | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Confusion over the substance washed up on some beaches ` as people are | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
urged to stay away, experts say it's a non`hazardous vegetable oil. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
Good evening. It has made a number of dogs ill and one has died. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Cornwall Council has been defending the way it has handled the | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
situation. The process was there, it was | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
followed, we will reassess that process, but I think it is been | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
handled very well. Also tonight... | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Traffic chaos after a serious accident closes the M5. A man died | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
in the crash, and thousands of commuters were stranded for hours. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
And the village businesses that say they could go under because of a | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
major road closure. Tests carried out on a substance | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
that has been washed up on beaches in West Cornwall have confirmed that | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
it is vegetable oil and not harmful to humans. The authorities say that | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
it does appear to be harmful to dogs and they are continuing to warn | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
owners to keep their animals away from the material. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
It was last Sunday, four days ago, that the white waxy and foul | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
smelling material was first seen on a beach in the far west of Cornwall | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
near Porthcurno. On Monday it was also seen at Long Rock, Marazion and | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Praa Sands. Also that day vets became aware that a number of dogs | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
had been made ill after licking the substance. Samples were taken by the | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Maritime and Coastguard Agency. On Tuesday many more dogs were made | :01:34. | :01:34. | |
sick and one died. Tuesday many more dogs were made | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
sick and Yesterday the Government's Public Health Agency urged people | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
not to handle the material and to avoid going into the sea on affected | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
beaches. As David George reports, today the substance was finally | :01:46. | :01:46. | |
identified. This morning, council contractors | :01:47. | :02:00. | |
began placing warning signs on the affected beaches, the National trust | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
had already done the same on its beaches further west. The public | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
health warning asked people not to handle the material or swim or surf | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
in the sea and to keep dogs away. Initially it was thought to be an | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
inert substance. It was the reports of illness in dogs that meant public | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
health got involved, because by implication there could be human | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
health implications. Despite all the warnings, material | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
was still lying on the beaches this morning. Some dog owners whose | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
animals had been made unwell were frustrated and began to move it | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
themselves. When we find some we try to catch | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
it, but it has a horrible smell, a real stench. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
You don't know what to do about it when you clear it up yourself. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Contractors working for Cornwall Council said they could not start | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
the clearer up until the material had been identified. At lunchtime | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
came the all clear for humans and the contractors moved in. Officials | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
say the delay was caused by the initial belief, which turned out | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
correct, that the substance was not a risk to human health. After an | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
event like this we always go back and assess how it was managed. We | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
will look at what went well, what could be proved, but by and large | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
the processes were followed, it worked well, and it is so | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
unfortunate it has this effect on dogs that had come into contact with | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the substance. Although Public Health England to say they do know | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
now believe this is harmless palm oil that has gone rancid, they do | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
point out it is unpleasant and `` and pleasant stuff and Donald `` dog | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
owners should keep animals away for it because it has made a number of | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
dogs extremely low. The M5 through Somerset was closed | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
in both directions for around seven hours today after two crashes which | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
left one man dead. It caused traffic chaos in the area with thousands of | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
commuters left stranded. Our Somerset Correspondent, Clinton | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Rogers, reports. The M5 in Somerset around mania. | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
Both carriageways were close. `` around 9am. Two separate accidents | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
within a mile of each other caused this. They happened on the | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
southbound carriageway close to the Burnham on Sea turn`off. The first | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
was just before six when a car overturned. A minute later this | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
crash happened. This glory here, the orange one there and the white van | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
collided. `` the orange one there. Police believe the two catches were | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
connected. Visibility was clear, but it was | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
dark. As a result of vehicles slowing for the accident further on | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
this incident occurred. One of the lorry drivers was injured in the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
crash, but was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The car driver | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
involved in the earlier crash was taken to hospital, but later | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
discharged. Wreckage from the accident was strewn across both | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
carriageways, forcing police to close the entire motorway. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Diversions were set up, but drivers found themselves stranded for hours. | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
Three hours. Chaos? Terrible. I left at 6:30am this morning. What time is | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
it now? 11! Have your of deliveries? `` have you a lot of deliveries. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Police cleared the backlog by turning me `` vehicles around and | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
sending them the wrong way along the motorway. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
By midday most of the wreckage had been cleared away and a little over | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
an hour later both carriageways were reopened. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
71 jobs are at risk this evening as pharmaceuticals company AstraZeneca | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
announced plans to close its research laboratory in Brixham. The | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
lab provides environmental support and testing, but the parent company | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
says it no longer fits in with its core business. The announcement has | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
come on the day that Torbay was supposed to be promoting itself as a | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
place for hi`tech companies to flourish. Our South Devon reporter, | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
John Ayres, has more. Any loss of jobs is always bad | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
news, but it is especially bad here in Torbay, which has the weakest | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
economy in the south`west. It came as a bitter blow when it was | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
discovered that AstraZeneca could be closing its laboratory with the loss | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
of 71 jobs in Brixham. It comes on a day that Torbay was supposed to be | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
celebrating what it has in terms of high`tech industries at its high | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
tech forum. It is a day when lots of gadgetry was on show, highlighting | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
what the region has to offer. Torbay is pushing so hard it has even | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
opened an office in the US seeking investment. How do you sell Torbay | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
to the Americans? There are 70,000 municipalities in the US, all have | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
some sort of economic development function. Not many have anything to | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
offer. Do you want to set up your business in the heartland of Iowa? I | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
don't think so. Look at Torbay. With job losses in Brixham on the | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
horizon, events like this become more important. This is about | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
getting the region's high`tech firms to work together and ensuring up and | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
coming talent does not go elsewhere, the so`called brain drain. Students | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
were here looking for jobs and asking why they should come back | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
year after university for work. I have always wanted to go away, but | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
with all this around I will see what happened. I have never realised how | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
much is on offer locally, but at the same time I think I would still like | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
to leave Torbay. It has opened up my eyes a lot. I have seen a lot of new | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
jobs I have never heard before so it is really good. I did not think | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
there was going to be that much in Torbay. With a new road being built, | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Torbay is hoping the economy will turn itself around in the next few | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
years. Everyone knows the borough cannot | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
just rely on tourism. That is what Torbay has been doing to encourage | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
growth in the high`tech sector, but of course it is bad news today, | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
potential loss of 71 jobs at AstraZeneca. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
The Mayor of Torbay joins me, what are your thoughts? | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
AstraZeneca is a very big player, 105 countries throughout the world. | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
They make the commercial decisions based on really want to expand and | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
changing company policy. They have done the same thing here in Brixham | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
and will be relocating elsewhere in the UK. But, that said, we have been | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
to the conference here today and the exhibition, where we are showing | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
what we can do to help international companies. We have an American | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
office, I have offered to go and meet the company tomorrow to see how | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
we can help and we will support those jobs in one form or another | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
and support the company. There have been a substantial number of | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
enquiries to the company for alternative ways of making the | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
business stay in Brixham. It is high`tech, high quality and I think | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
there will be a lot of interest from universities and other players, so | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
we are reasonably confident we can try and achieve something and save | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
this wonderful asset. We have set up a ?1 million growth fund for this | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
specific purpose. We will be happy to put substantial sums of money | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
available through that fund, set up for this purpose, to assist in | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
maintaining jobs as well as creating them. We will do our best to help | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
the ploy ease and the company. AstraZeneca says it will do all it | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
can to help the staff at a very difficult time. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
The Environment Agency has been defending a new fish pass it has | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
installed on the River Otter in East Devon. | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
It has cost around ?300,000, but many local people say it is an | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
eyesore and has ruined the look of the river. But the Agency says it | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
will blend in over time. Our Environment Correspondent, Adrian | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Campbell, reports. The river bank along this stretch of | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
the River Otter in East Devon is a popular spot for walkers, but since | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
the Environment Agency installed this fish pass there has been | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
criticism from local people about its cost, design and impact on the | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
landscape. I have seen the salmon jump, they jump in a great arc. | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
I do not see how they will get up this fish lighter. I hope the | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Environment Agency know what they are doing. `` this fish ladder. It | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
is the second time in a week it has come over the stones, which improves | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
its look. I looked at the planning application | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
12 months ago and it was somewhere in the region of ?300,000. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
I have been told it was well in excess of that. This big pile of | :11:13. | :11:23. | |
rocks here was deposited during works carried out on the Wear, and | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
we understand from the Environment Agency they are now the property of | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
the landowner. The idea is eventually to remove | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
them but locals are also annoyed about this. | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
Some suggest the investment would have been better focused on flood | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
defences downstream, but the Environment Agency says taxpayers | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
money was set aside specifically to improve conditions for the fish and | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
claims the fish pash will eventually blend in. `` the fish pass. | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
This has been built over a wet period and it is not going to | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
necessarily embed itself in the landscape immediately. But when the | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
habitat starts to get better, the grass grows, it will look better. | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
The fish pass has taken months to complete but many local residents | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
still need to be convinced it is a good idea. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
Coming up next, we're off to a village where a road closure is | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
causing problems for businesses there. Also still ahead... | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
A clean sweep ` advice from firefighters after an increase in | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
chimney fires. And the tea set reflecting a potted | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
history of a moorland town. Businesses in a South Devon village | :12:22. | :12:36. | |
say they could go under because of a major road closure. The route | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
between Avonwick and the A38 is completely shut for repairs until | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
December. The village shop is said to be losing ?200 a week, and the | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
pub says its takings are down by two thirds. Johnny Rutherford reports. | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
Normally, this pub would have a few punters in for lunch, but the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
landlord says last week he had to throw away a barrel of real ale due | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
to the lack of customers. He says pubs across the country are | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
struggling to stay open, but the road closure at Avonwick could be | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
the final straw here. We have kept this place open for three and a half | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
years as a small country pub. We have always paid the bills and | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
gotten through, until now. We are really struggling to pay the bills, | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
and if it carries on as it is we will not be able to come and that is | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
the final minute. That will be the end of it. The road between the A38 | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
And Avonwick is completely shut for essential repairs and will remain | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
closed until December. The impact is not just affecting the | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
shops in Avonwick next to the diversion but business is miles out | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
of the village. Regular commuters are taking their own alternative | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
routes. This is the road the locals use coming from Totnes going to | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
Plymouth, but since the road closure at Avonwick cars are turning off | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
here to get to the A38, affecting businesses up the road who rely on | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
passing trade. I am losing something between 30% | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
and 50%, I suppose. I can stick it, I can stay, but when | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
it gets dark at 5pm I should shut up. Because there are not enough | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
cars coming past? No. You can see now hardly any goes up | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
here. You get one or two but the road is never as quiet as this. I | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
don't know what you can do about it. Businesses are hoping for | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
compensation. The landlord of the Avon in says he | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
has approached the Highways Agency. There is no compensation available, | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
we have asked. Obviously we would like some help. | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
We are a business, we pay our way, we pay our taxes, our business | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
rates, but apparently it is all one way. There is nothing available for | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
us. Devon county council has apologised | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
for the inconvenience but says the road closure is absolutely necessary | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
and is trying to reopen it as quickly as possible. | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
Naval bosses at the air station in Yeovilton have been reassuring the | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
local community about huge expansion plans that are about to take place. | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
Over the next few years, 600 army personnel will be joining the base. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
But Yeovilton insists there won't be more disruption. Alice Bouverie | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
reports. The Royal Naval air Station at | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Yeovilton. There was no suggestion the name of this place is changing, | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
but the character of the base definitely is. The army is moving | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
in. The base is calling it evolution, not revolution, but | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
though the uniforms are different, the vision is the same. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
What do you think the Army can bring to the station? Of course, a bit of | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
panache in the first instance. One of the key aspect is to bring in | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
the long`term future, people are aware of defence cuts and we will be | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
able to guarantee a presence are long way into the future, which is a | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
good thing for the base, the Army, the Navy and the local community. It | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
is an unprecedented period of change for the base. The old aircraft are | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
going and then you are coming. On the way out, the trusty seating | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
being replaced by the Mellon. The Lynx helicopter has had its day, by | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
the Wildcat. The numbers of personnel are also going up, from | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
4000 to 4300. It all means investment on a massive scale. | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
A lot of money is being spent, ?180 million over five years on buildings | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
and infrastructure. Yeovilton will be an employer in this area for | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
years to come. What about the traffic, how will they get backwards | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
and forwards from all these places? There are still concerns from the | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
local community about noise, low flying, whether the local schools | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
will cope with the influx of new families. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
The naval top brass admit they do not have all the answers but whether | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
people like it or not changes in the area. `` change is in the air. | :17:03. | :17:25. | |
Firefighters are warning that a poorly maintained Jimmy can have got | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
to `` dramatic consequences. David Richardson just to be a gas | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
engineer. Two years ago, he reach a trained as a chimney sweep in | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Plymouth as more of his customers were looking to cut costs by using | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
fires and stores. I found I was removing a lot of gas fires for | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
people were they were ripping out the gas fires because they were too | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
expensive to run. People tend to find a lot more would these days, so | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
they thought, I have an open fire, it is easy to heat. Trade | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
associations report the number of Jimmy sweep set up by nearly a third | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
in the last couple of years, cashing in on the surge in demand. | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
While we were filming, a large piece of cement was dislodged, an auld | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
botch job to cap the Jimmy which could have proved devastating. | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
It could have been incredibly dangerous, because the room could | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
have backed up with smoke and if I had left the room all sorts could | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
have happened. This is what can happen when a chimney fire takes | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
hold. This would help near Falmouth went up in flames two years ago and | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
had to be extensively restored. All three Fire and rescue services in | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
the area have shown a steady increase in chimney fires over the | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
last year. I have been to a number of incidents where there has been a | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
fire which has spread from a chimney and devastated the property and | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
threatened people but Michael lives. I have also been to another `` and | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
has threatened people' lives. I have also been to another incident where | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
four people were nearly killed. Both situations have huge potential. The | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
guidelines are to get a chimney swept at least once a year. Saving | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
on this could invalidate house insurance or even risk lives. | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
A very special tea set has been made depicting the memories and history | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
of elderly residents living in a moorland town in Devon. It is part | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
of an art project by a group called Blazing Tales, giving people a | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
unique way of remembering their past. Spotlight's Sophie Pierce has | :19:35. | :19:35. | |
more. We all like a cup of tea, so what | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
better way of evoking special memories than through a key set? | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
People living at St Andrews Keel home in Ashburton as well as others | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
around the town have been sharing their past with their stories | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
appearing as words and pictures on the tea set. `` St Andrews care | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
home. We have made this key set full of images from your stories. It was | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
the idea of community artist Sarah Hurley. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
From there stories we did illustrations and words and `` from | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
the stories we did words and illustrations and decided which bits | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
would go well on a tea set. On the two teapots we have the golden lion | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
of Ashburton and something that represents the woollen industry... | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
There is plenty here, including memories of the floods of Ashburton. | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
The pictures show images of how relationships were formed, what jobs | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
people used to do and how they spent their time. For instance, Pamela | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Lodder used to be a bell ringer. I just enjoyed it, once I had learnt | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
the art of setting the Bell Inn. It took me a long time to get the bill | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
in but I got it in in the end and ran regularly on Sunday mornings. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
That was my uncle taking along the milk. He used to walk along the town | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
carrying two `` carrying four or five gallon milk cans and tipped it | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
out into people's jogs in the doorway. The tea set as is a contest | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
what it set out to do ` get people talking about their memories. | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
More memories now. A unique piece of clothing from Appledore's history is | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
being resurrected thanks to a group of ladies, their knitting needles | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
and some funding from Europe. The frock has kept generations of | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
fishermen warm and is now all set for a revival. Our North Devon | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
reporter, Andrea Ormsby, has been to take a look at it. Knitting and nice | :21:40. | :21:51. | |
frock, that is what they call this traditional Appledore fishing | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
jersey. It is a straightforward pattern. They have special banding | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
on the shoulder which makes it the Appledore jumper. This is peculiar | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
to Appledore. It is flexible and moulds to your body. They are made | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
to measure. Josie lived in place! All her life and these frocks are | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
part of history. The old ladies next to one another knitting oleander | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
telling a good tale. The jumpers were made to keep each | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
other warm and each one had its own mark. | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
The sad thing is, if a fisherman or seeming `` see man was grounded they | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
could tell really came from by his jumper. | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
They would bring back the jumper and pass it around so he could be | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
identified. Josie is passionate about the Appledore frock and is | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
keeping the tradition alive by teaching these women. | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
It is part of a project by the Museum of Barnstable and North Devon | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
and is backed by funding from North Europe. It is important for funding | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
for the museum because museums are looking at funding in a broader way. | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
We're looking at skills, people's stories, and this project | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
encompasses those personal stories and traditions that have been lost | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
through time. I have done one sleeve and the body, I just have the neck | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
and the other sleeve to pick up and go around. | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
I have done about four inches of knitting and I have had to undo it | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
again. I had to come today to start again. You have a nervous breakdown. | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
First of all it was the twisting at the bottom, but we got over that, | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
the next time it was the gusset. I am now on the important bit, but it | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
has just been lovely learning together. Thanks to Josie and her, | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
it looks like the Appledore is back and fashion. | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
`` back in fashion. That looks like a good, sturdy piece of clothing and | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
we made all need that in the next few days. | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
Yes, we have quite a big area of low pressure heading our way. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
In the next 24 hours or so I will talk about that. Good evening. We | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
have some rain tonight, accompanying that some strong winds, too. It will | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
all blue `` blow through overnight, tomorrow will be quite windy with a | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
few showers but also some sunshine. Not a bad day. For the next two days | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
we will have rain at night and mainly dry conditions in the | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
daytime, until we get to Sandy. I will come to that in a minute. `` | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
until we get Sunday. The low pressure is dominant, this line of | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
rain is what we are seeing this evening, but it gets to the North | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
Sea by the middle of the day tomorrow. Then we are left with some | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
showers, this line of cloud here will produce some outbreaks of rain | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
tomorrow night and into Saturday. Saturday itself between weather | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
systems, breezy, some showers, mainly dry until Sunday night with | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
some more wet weather. This was the picture from earlier today. We had a | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
fine start but cloud has rolled up and its thick in places, producing | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
some light rain with heavier rain later this evening. This was earlier | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
today with her mates quiet start to the morning in team. `` where we had | :25:06. | :25:17. | |
a nice quiet start. We had some mist which we have not seen so far this | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
year because it has been so windy. These pictures were taken by Alec, | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
our cameraman. A bit of low`lying mist and fog but that was soon | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
cleared because the mist was picked up by the breeze. Overnight tonight | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
it is breezy, winds becoming strong with outbreaks of rain. Some of the | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
ring will turn out quite heavy in the small hours of the morning. It | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
is moving quite fast, so by tomorrow morning it is moving away, first | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
from Cornwall then from West Devon. The breeze also dropping as the rain | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
moves out of the way. Much milder than last night, real it was into | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
single figures, tonight probably know lower than 13 or 14 Celsius. | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
Tomorrow the rain clears them for a time it is dry, maybe some sunshine | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
giving some good temperatures. We're almost at the end of October and we | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
have temperatures around 18 Celsius ` pretty warm for the of year. | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
Especially so close eastern part of Devon into Somerset, a little cooler | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
around the coastline with the stiff southwestern breeze. For the Isles | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
of Scilly, mainly dry, a chance of more cloud in the afternoon, but | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
sunny spells in the morning at least. The breeze also from the | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
south`west. The times of high water... | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
The surf on the north coast will be a bit messy, but with an onshore | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
breeze it is still on the choppy side on the south coast. | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
We are worried about Sunday into Monday. We have quite an active area | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
of low pressure developing. These are the winds Sunday night into | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
Monday. This little girl develops and tracks across the middle of | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
Britain bringing the strength of wind. It is a deep area of low | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
pressure, I'm usually so, and we have an early warning of the | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
strength of wind Sunday night into Monday. We could have gusts up to 70 | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
mph in the small hours of the morning on Monday. We will have a | :27:22. | :27:31. | |
much better idea by this time tomorrow, we will have an update for | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
you then, but sunny intimately windy conditions and at times quite wet. | :27:35. | :27:36. | |
Thank you. Those winds looked incredible. I do not like the sound | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
of that. That is it from us this evening, we are back tomorrow at | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
6:30pm. Thank you for joining us, have a | :27:44. | :27:45. | |
lovely evening. Good night. This is Malcolm, who owns Iceland. | :27:46. | :27:54. | |
He's the one that's going to present us with | :27:55. | :27:56. | |
the ten grand. When we win it. | :27:57. | :27:59. |
