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.
