:00:00. > :00:10.That's all from us. Now the news where you are.
:00:11. > :00:17.After the bed crisis, the inquiry ` so why did a hospital in Cornwall
:00:18. > :00:21.run out of room? Good evening. Welcome to Spotlight. Some patients
:00:22. > :00:24.were prepared for theatre when their operations were cancelled. Today the
:00:25. > :00:32.whole system was examined. We'll hear about the plans put forward.
:00:33. > :00:38.Also denied, bird flu is ruled out after the deaths of several swans in
:00:39. > :00:42.Dorset. Never killed 16 birds in Weymouth remained a mystery despite
:00:43. > :00:44.extensive tests. Free school meals for the
:00:45. > :00:50.under`eights, but concerns not everyone in Cornwall may cope as
:00:51. > :00:53.well as this. And the new cycle trails on Dartmoor are hoping to
:00:54. > :00:55.steer the economy in the right direction.
:00:56. > :00:58.Senior figures in Cornwall's health care system were called before
:00:59. > :01:01.Council today to explain why the Royal Cornwall Hospital had to
:01:02. > :01:05.declare a major incident earlier this month. There weren't enough
:01:06. > :01:08.beds and operations had to be cancelled. In a hearing which
:01:09. > :01:11.examined practices both in the community as well as on the wards,
:01:12. > :01:16.an unusually high number admissions and patients unable to move on were
:01:17. > :01:27.blamed. But a plan was now in place to try to prevent a repeat. This is
:01:28. > :01:31.the first chance councillors had had to question senior medical staff
:01:32. > :01:35.about what went wrong on the 7th of October. The trust told the
:01:36. > :01:39.committee they had declared a major incident because they didn't have
:01:40. > :01:44.enough beds for people coming into the hospital. The trust said there
:01:45. > :01:47.were 35 people in the emergency department needed a bed. A
:01:48. > :01:53.significant number were being treated in recess. The trust was
:01:54. > :01:57.worried about safety and did several things including asking staff to
:01:58. > :02:00.stay on after shift, cancelling routine operations even for patients
:02:01. > :02:05.who were about to be taken into theatre. They also asked people are
:02:06. > :02:11.arriving at the emergency department if they would be better treated
:02:12. > :02:15.elsewhere. This councillor, who has a lifetime of nursing experience,
:02:16. > :02:20.says they should have had a better emergency plan. We should be looking
:02:21. > :02:27.at how we use bed in other costs. Whether the empty beds or mothballed
:02:28. > :02:32.so when you get to a black alert, which is the most major ones you can
:02:33. > :02:36.have, you should be able to decant people, it sounds a horrible word,
:02:37. > :02:42.that he should be able to utilise whatever beds are available for that
:02:43. > :02:46.particular point in time. The trust told the committee the problem was
:02:47. > :02:49.largely caught by bed blocking, so all the agencies involved in
:02:50. > :02:55.committee care, including hospitals and care at home, or also questioned
:02:56. > :02:59.today. Since then they have met and agreed on a 17 point improvement
:03:00. > :03:08.plan. The chair of the committee said any plan needed to be acted
:03:09. > :03:09.upon. What was encouraging today was an absolute commitment from
:03:10. > :03:16.organisations to work together better. At the moment, we don't have
:03:17. > :03:20.enough ways of organisations to talk to each other and grief each other
:03:21. > :03:26.for them to know the status of individual patients. But some
:03:27. > :03:30.councillors are still worried and fear with winter coming on, which
:03:31. > :03:35.means a rise in admissions, the same thing could happen again, and they
:03:36. > :03:38.want to know the system will work. Meanwhile, the former chairman of
:03:39. > :03:41.Royal Cornwall Hospitals, Martin Watts, has abandoned his fight to
:03:42. > :03:45.get his job back. Lawyers say he's not eligible to take his case to an
:03:46. > :03:49.employment tribunal. Our health correspondent Sally Mountjoy is
:03:50. > :03:57.here. Sally, begin by reminding us why he went in the first place.
:03:58. > :04:02.Earlier this year, he was bound to be in breach of hospital dignity at
:04:03. > :04:05.work policy into reports. One talk about an incident where he was
:04:06. > :04:10.aggressive to a nurse over the care of his mother`in`law. The other kid
:04:11. > :04:15.sized him for saying he had unduly criticised a member of staff. Mr
:04:16. > :04:21.Watt says these reports were in fair and flawed and said he was forced to
:04:22. > :04:24.resign by the head of the NHS Trust the Belmont authority. He said he
:04:25. > :04:29.would take the party and the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust to a
:04:30. > :04:34.tribunal. He wanted his job back and he wanted to clear his name. He has
:04:35. > :04:40.now dropped all that. NHS lawyers said his room as chairman does not
:04:41. > :04:44.give the rule of employee, so an employment tribunal would not be
:04:45. > :04:49.able to rule in this case, so Mr Watts says he has decided to put the
:04:50. > :04:56.trust in their power politics of the NHS behind them. Where does that
:04:57. > :05:00.leave the trust? It has been damaged by the saiga because the other high
:05:01. > :05:05.profile and executive directors stood down in support of Mr Watts
:05:06. > :05:08.and other health campaigners also supported his decision to go through
:05:09. > :05:13.tribunal. On the other side, they stressed the fact that two
:05:14. > :05:16.independent reports found he had been in breach of bullying and
:05:17. > :05:21.harassment policy and that is unacceptable, but a lot of people
:05:22. > :05:26.say it would be a poor use of NHS money to go to a tribunal so it is
:05:27. > :05:32.just as well trust can now concentrate on the operational
:05:33. > :05:35.challenges it has. Thank you, Sally. The father of one of the Devon
:05:36. > :05:38.Greenpeace protestors held in Russia says the prospect of the Prime
:05:39. > :05:42.Minister intervening personally is the best news they've had for a long
:05:43. > :05:45.time. David Cameron told the Commons yesterday he would be prepared to
:05:46. > :05:47.consider directly contacting the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
:05:48. > :05:56.Martyn Oates joins us now from Westminster. What can you tell us
:05:57. > :06:01.was Mike the charges of piracy that they were detained for, including as
:06:02. > :06:06.the Prime Minister reminded us, one of his constituents had been reduced
:06:07. > :06:09.to hooliganism, but this could still carry a hefty prison sentence and
:06:10. > :06:15.coming two months later, they are still being held in Russia, so Cliff
:06:16. > :06:20.Harris, the father of one of the detailing is, welcomes a ramping up
:06:21. > :06:25.of the pressure at this end. If they are speaking, it could mean it could
:06:26. > :06:28.be concluded quite quickly. It is reached the stage where we need that
:06:29. > :06:34.final phase to clear all this up. You get the top table talking and
:06:35. > :06:40.hopefully it will resolve the situation and we will see our
:06:41. > :06:45.daughter before Christmas. The Labour MP for Exeter called on Mr
:06:46. > :06:50.Cameron to call President Putin directly to weeks ago. This is what
:06:51. > :06:56.he said this evening. I am surprised by the lack of public and political
:06:57. > :06:59.outrage about the fact you have sex innocent British people, no one
:07:00. > :07:02.under British law a spoken to suggest they were doing anything
:07:03. > :07:06.illegal, who had been held for nearly two months by a foreign
:07:07. > :07:11.country. The least I think you would expect a primer must to do is pick
:07:12. > :07:16.up the phone and make a private protest at necessary to the leader
:07:17. > :07:18.of that country. Any other Prime Minister in my lifetime would have
:07:19. > :07:24.done that and I cannot understand why David Cameron has not. Then
:07:25. > :07:28.Bradshaw with the other leaders of countries involved in this have
:07:29. > :07:35.limited with President Putin, as has Angela Merkel even though no Germans
:07:36. > :07:39.were involved. The only concrete bridge action is the news that the
:07:40. > :07:42.families will come again to that Foreign Office to talk to the
:07:43. > :07:45.Minister next week. The parents of Catherine Wells`Burr
:07:46. > :07:48.have welcomed a new code allowing victims of crime to directly address
:07:49. > :07:51.offenders in courts in England and Wales. Catherine was murdered by her
:07:52. > :07:56.then boyfriend Rafal Nowak in Somerset in 2012. The new code means
:07:57. > :07:58.that victims, such as Catherine's family, will automatically be
:07:59. > :08:03.allowed to personally address the judge and the offender at the end of
:08:04. > :08:09.a criminal trial. Catherine's father says he wished he could have had
:08:10. > :08:16.that opportunity. We could look him in the eye and that is what every
:08:17. > :08:23.family should be able to do, if they wish, look in the eye and say how
:08:24. > :08:27.much your losses. `` how much your loss is.
:08:28. > :08:30.On the day the main six energy companies have promised to cut gas
:08:31. > :08:33.and electricity bills if the Government removes them from paying
:08:34. > :08:36.so`called "green taxes", we have been to catch up with a couple from
:08:37. > :08:40.North Devon who haven't switched their heating on for over 18 months.
:08:41. > :08:43.Joanne and Jim Bell decided to take a stand, and as our reporter Heidi
:08:44. > :08:48.Davey has been finding out, they haven't given in yet. For pensioners
:08:49. > :08:55.to one and Jim Bell, fighting the code has become a way of life. But
:08:56. > :08:58.like the cold. They had not turned their heating on for over a year
:08:59. > :09:04.when we first met them, and we have been back to see if they feel
:09:05. > :09:10.different. No, we shan't go back to putting on the heating, especially
:09:11. > :09:14.as it is 26p per day, along with another ?100 a year for not using
:09:15. > :09:18.gas, so we won't switch on again unless maybe in ten years my husband
:09:19. > :09:22.is decrepit and needs the heating on, then we might relent but not
:09:23. > :09:28.while we are able`bodied and can walk out and keep warm in other
:09:29. > :09:31.ways. The standing charge a ?100 is one the except they cannot avoid in
:09:32. > :09:35.case they need heating in an emergency, but the resource full and
:09:36. > :09:41.when it gets chilly they moved to the warmest part of their house. Is
:09:42. > :09:48.this a sneaky retreat? Yes, it is. In the winter when the temperature
:09:49. > :09:52.really drops as soon as the sunshine, this place warms up so
:09:53. > :09:58.quickly so we sit here, read the paper, it is great. The couple have
:09:59. > :10:03.worked out that by not having their heating on for 18 months, they have
:10:04. > :10:08.saved around ?2000 Whitstable spent on next year's holiday. They have
:10:09. > :10:11.electric blankets and hot water bottles ready for any cold snaps,
:10:12. > :10:21.and their favourite place to catch any rays, the beach house.
:10:22. > :10:25.They say there is no such thing as a free lunch, but from next September,
:10:26. > :10:32.all under eights across the South West will be entitled to a free
:10:33. > :10:37.meal. The government policy says all done pupils will benefit regardless
:10:38. > :10:41.of their parents incomes. But this also means providing a kitchen and
:10:42. > :10:44.there are concerns that some buildings will not be up to the job.
:10:45. > :10:48.It's beef cobbler on the menu at this school near Bodmin. Nearly half
:10:49. > :10:57.the pupils here currently have hot school dinners prepared on`site.
:10:58. > :11:00.From next September, all under`eights will be entitled to a
:11:01. > :11:05.free lunch, whatever their parents earn. The idea is going down well. I
:11:06. > :11:08.think some of the reasons not every child can get a school meal is
:11:09. > :11:11.because they can't afford it. The government says the policy will save
:11:12. > :11:17.parents money, teach healthy eating and improve learning. The worry is
:11:18. > :11:21.what happens when they get to year three, it will be great if the
:11:22. > :11:24.parents then can continue paying for it as all the meals are subsidised
:11:25. > :11:31.further, so they can continue to afford it, but I think it is good to
:11:32. > :11:35.start with the younger children. This school has its own kitchen and
:11:36. > :11:39.can cope with extra demand, but not all schools are in this position.
:11:40. > :11:43.The Department for Education has admitted it does not know how much
:11:44. > :11:49.will have to be spent on upgrading facilities. Those who will implement
:11:50. > :11:53.the policy are also unclear. We don't know how much money the school
:11:54. > :11:56.meals will cost or if there will be new infrastructure costs because
:11:57. > :12:00.some schools did away with their kitchens or they used another school
:12:01. > :12:07.with a bigger kitchen to act as a hub. More detail is expected in the
:12:08. > :12:22.Chancellor's Autumn Statement in September. Were getting active in a
:12:23. > :12:26.moment. We'll be getting on our bikes as Dartmoor's new network of
:12:27. > :12:30.cycle path gets ready for business. And we'll be wearing out our shoe
:12:31. > :12:42.leather we discover the hidden side of Trelissick Gardens. 16 swans have
:12:43. > :12:47.died a nature reserve in Weymouth. Tests have revealed the Swans did
:12:48. > :12:53.not have bird flu, but exactly what caused their death is a mystery.
:12:54. > :12:57.This 1's on the lake at Radipole Lake or a favourite with locals and
:12:58. > :13:01.voters alike, but over recent months they have fallen prey to a
:13:02. > :13:06.mysterious disease or pollution. Dead birds have been removed from
:13:07. > :13:10.the RSPB reserve but it is being confirmed they were not affected by
:13:11. > :13:15.bird flu. Here at Radipole Lake on the edge of Weymouth, swans have
:13:16. > :13:19.been dying since September and it is now known that half the flock has
:13:20. > :13:25.died, but recently there have been no further fatalities. Some were
:13:26. > :13:28.found floating in the lake, which is obviously horrible for people who
:13:29. > :13:33.found them, but some were found to be quite lethargic or looking poorly
:13:34. > :13:43.and lying on the path, so at that point, the RSPCA got involved. At
:13:44. > :13:47.the RSPCA centre in Somerset, there are still a couple of swans
:13:48. > :13:54.recovering from whatever affected their health. There have been swans
:13:55. > :13:58.dying before on the lakes, and there has been an inflammation of the
:13:59. > :14:02.untested witching cause problems for swans. That hasn't been established
:14:03. > :14:07.in this instance so it is as yet unknown, but we do see swans
:14:08. > :14:12.especially from areas where there are problems with birds. The
:14:13. > :14:16.Environment Agency has tested the water for pollutants, so far the
:14:17. > :14:24.charity says there is no clue about what has happened. What is odd is
:14:25. > :14:27.that it is 16 swans. It was pollution in the water you would
:14:28. > :14:31.expect problems for all species, but this is just swans, there we are
:14:32. > :14:38.interested to find out what has happened. It is rare for so many
:14:39. > :14:41.swans to be affected in this way, that the RSPB says many younger
:14:42. > :14:49.swans appear to have escaped the worst effects of the incident.
:14:50. > :14:53.Ever driven across Dartmoor and missed most of it as it whizzes past
:14:54. > :14:57.the window? I have. Well, now you can take in the celebrated wild
:14:58. > :15:00.upland at a more leisurely pace, as a major cycle trail crossing much
:15:01. > :15:03.the landscape finally opens. The Dartmoor Way has been years in the
:15:04. > :15:06.making, but now completely covers more than 90 miles, linking towns
:15:07. > :15:09.and villages. As well as attracting thousands of cyclists, it's hoped
:15:10. > :15:13.it'll also bring millions of pounds to the local economy. Chris Lyddon
:15:14. > :15:25.has the first of two special reports.
:15:26. > :15:33.It's arguably the most famous national park, many would say the
:15:34. > :15:39.most beautiful. The new Dartmoor Way opens up miles of stunning views.
:15:40. > :15:42.Today, we're going to explore the southern part of the moor by
:15:43. > :15:46.electric bike. The power`assisted bike takes all the strain out of
:15:47. > :15:50.this section near Venford reservoir. The cycle way joins towns and
:15:51. > :16:01.villages around the moor. Our first section takes in the high moor link.
:16:02. > :16:04.You have three different settings, high, low, medium, eight gears in
:16:05. > :16:07.all. Apart from that, you just get on and start pedalling like an
:16:08. > :16:13.ordinary bike. And pedal away we did. This is not too steep, this
:16:14. > :16:17.one. And the beauty of the moor slowly revealed itself. So this
:16:18. > :16:21.pointy one at the front is Sharp Tor, then behind is Corndon Tor, and
:16:22. > :16:27.over to the right is Mel Tor, and Bench Tor here on the other side of
:16:28. > :16:32.the Dart Valley. So a terrific vista for taking it all in. Amazing. The
:16:33. > :16:35.cycle way has been paid for by Defra and Devon County Council and
:16:36. > :16:44.overseen by the cycling charity Sustrans, working with the National
:16:45. > :16:47.Park. It is a very robust route, predominantly on roads or other good
:16:48. > :16:51.known services. It is 95 miles, I believe, in length and a great
:16:52. > :16:57.circular route of the best of Dartmoor National Park.
:16:58. > :17:03.Out on the moors on a day like this, fabulous sunshine, wonderful colours
:17:04. > :17:07.and the bikes make it so effortless. Yeah, it wasn't hard at all to pick
:17:08. > :17:13.up, just like cycling a normal bike but a lot easier! Now we're off to
:17:14. > :17:17.Okehampton. We're in the north`west section of the trail. We're going to
:17:18. > :17:25.see some of best parts of the Granite Way today. Terrific weather
:17:26. > :17:34.too. Catherine is my guide this time. We're on mountain bikes. We
:17:35. > :17:37.have families, from tiny babies right up to elderly people and all
:17:38. > :17:40.sorts of different people, people that are very bike enthusiastic or
:17:41. > :17:43.cycling enthusiastic, who bring along their families, who maybe
:17:44. > :17:50.haven't been on a bike for 20, 30 years. And you can see in both
:17:51. > :18:00.directions at the viewpoint. It's beautiful. Magnificent. Just don't
:18:01. > :18:05.look down! Last stop of the day, the Meldon Viaduct. I fancy a glass of
:18:06. > :18:17.wine now. Off to France, I think. France, next stop. He'll have a job,
:18:18. > :18:22.because it's a circular trail. He was only joking, of course. He never
:18:23. > :18:27.made it to France or got his glass of wine. I should think not, he's
:18:28. > :18:30.working! There will be more from Chris tomorrow when he meets the
:18:31. > :18:37.businesses that have set up along that cycleway. Sports news now.
:18:38. > :18:40.Tennis coach Judy Murray was back in the South West once again today,
:18:41. > :18:43.this time at the Barnstaple Open. Her son may have ended Britain's
:18:44. > :18:46.77`year wait for a men's Wimbledon title, but his mother is also
:18:47. > :18:50.extremely influential in the sport. She was keeping an eye on some of
:18:51. > :18:59.the country's top talent in her role as captain of the British Women's
:19:00. > :19:02.Federation Cup team. This tennis centre in Barnstable hopes the
:19:03. > :19:07.fourth guest ladies tennis event in the country, which is why the top
:19:08. > :19:10.British players came under the scrutiny of the federation 's
:19:11. > :19:18.captain at the start of the main draw of the Barnstable open. The
:19:19. > :19:23.British number two in the third round this player from Guernsey,
:19:24. > :19:29.were just a few of the top names playing in the courts. It is perfect
:19:30. > :19:33.for me because it is one`stop and I can watch seven or eight of them
:19:34. > :19:39.playing today, but home tournament are great because obviously we are
:19:40. > :19:43.not having to pay out on airfares and big accommodation costs and so
:19:44. > :19:49.forth, so it is a big bonus to have tournament like this. It is popular
:19:50. > :19:53.with the devil in public and a chance to see top international
:19:54. > :19:57.players as well as those from Great Britain. As the season draws to a
:19:58. > :20:03.close, what does Judy take from it were among like this? I saw a fair
:20:04. > :20:07.bit during the grass season, but not so much, so it is a perfect chance
:20:08. > :20:11.for me to spend time talking to them and approaching teams before we have
:20:12. > :20:17.to make a decision on Hugh lays on the team, which will probably be in
:20:18. > :20:21.January. Later on Spotlight, we will be back in Barnstable to hear from
:20:22. > :20:27.top British players as they hopefully make progress in the
:20:28. > :20:31.weekend finals. You member last night we told you
:20:32. > :20:38.about that Star Wars auction in Dorchester. Well, 200 Tories and
:20:39. > :20:44.memorabilia have sold for almost ?7,000 at that event. `` toys. Many
:20:45. > :20:47.of the figures were still in their original packaging. The sale also
:20:48. > :20:53.included life`size figures of Yoda, and a light`sabre. The items sold to
:20:54. > :21:00.around 30 buyers around the country. ?7,000, that's not bad. We won't
:21:01. > :21:03.even try to speak in your language. `` Yoda language.
:21:04. > :21:07.After yesterday's storm, calmer weather today has provided a welcome
:21:08. > :21:11.opportunity for many people to get out on a nice autumn walk. And some
:21:12. > :21:14.have been taking advantage of a scheme to explore hidden parts of
:21:15. > :21:18.some of The National Trust's most famous places. Chloe Axford has been
:21:19. > :21:26.to join a group taking part in a walk at the Trelissick estate in
:21:27. > :21:31.Cornwall. The Trelissick estate normally gets about 150,000 visitors
:21:32. > :21:35.a year, but this afternoon I am joining a group of walkers who are
:21:36. > :21:42.being allowed access to a part of the estate that is normally out of
:21:43. > :21:47.bounds. I have a difficult time finding worms when it is dry. This
:21:48. > :21:51.book, led by the head ranger, is part of the great British walks, a
:21:52. > :21:57.nationwide scheme to get us all out in the fresh air. Families, people
:21:58. > :22:02.are not getting in touch with nature as much as we should, they are
:22:03. > :22:06.sitting in front of TVs, children playing on computers, so it is a
:22:07. > :22:09.chance to encourage the nation to get out and see what is on their
:22:10. > :22:17.doorstep in touch nature, breathing that fresh air and try to get them
:22:18. > :22:21.active. Today's ward includes the Inco pats were dung beetles and
:22:22. > :22:25.discovering client field mushrooms. On the walk this afternoon, I lured
:22:26. > :22:28.areas like this are normally out of bounds because they provide a
:22:29. > :22:34.feeding ground were wading birds from the nearby River, a haven for
:22:35. > :22:39.bugs and insects and a home for animals like badgers. There are lots
:22:40. > :22:47.of maggots. It has started to break up. The book has been an education
:22:48. > :22:50.for other walkers. We are rushing around and through the woodland and
:22:51. > :22:57.we don't often get a chance to slow down and see what there is, . I
:22:58. > :23:04.wanted to come and see what we are missing. It is exciting because it
:23:05. > :23:17.is a secret place. And what have you found here? Lots of mushrooms and
:23:18. > :23:21.cope to that beetles live in. There are great British walks taking place
:23:22. > :23:28.at National trust properties across the country. Now we're off for a
:23:29. > :23:36.nice cup of tea. It looks stunning there today. Big change in the
:23:37. > :23:47.weather. Yes, much quieter. It was fantastic. I thought you don't. No,
:23:48. > :23:51.I am still is here good evening. If anything, tonight will be quite
:23:52. > :23:55.chilly and relatively calm after the last few nights. We have a few
:23:56. > :23:58.missed patches first thing in the morning and it starts cold, probably
:23:59. > :24:04.the coldest we have seen so far this autumn, right at first then more
:24:05. > :24:08.wind and rain arriving, the strength of wind nothing to what we saw
:24:09. > :24:12.through the weekend and yesterday. Let's look at the cloud because this
:24:13. > :24:16.line is the next band of cloud and rain coming our way, not quite
:24:17. > :24:21.getting into us and it will be slow to arrive during tomorrow but once
:24:22. > :24:25.it sets and we will see wet weather. The wind is picking up but certainly
:24:26. > :24:30.tonight with a ridge of high pressure it is quiet. Any showers we
:24:31. > :24:33.have will be isolated in the line of cloud and rain will arrive in the
:24:34. > :24:39.latter part of tomorrow morning and through the afternoon and evening.
:24:40. > :24:43.There are some isobars squeezed by head of that so expect winds to
:24:44. > :24:47.increase through the day, then by Thursday we still have low pressure,
:24:48. > :24:51.keeping an eye on this new area of low pressure moving quite fast and
:24:52. > :24:58.bringing wet weather on Friday, and also some windy conditions. For most
:24:59. > :25:02.of today we had sunshine, but it is now turning cold and with clear
:25:03. > :25:07.skies overnight, a few places, especially inland, could get as low
:25:08. > :25:12.as three or four degrees. It is just about cold enough for a touch of
:25:13. > :25:16.frost. Further west and along the north coast, there might still be
:25:17. > :25:22.showers overnight but that will fade away overnight, and most of us will
:25:23. > :25:28.fade up to `` wake up to eight fine but cold start. The winds become
:25:29. > :25:31.south`westerly by the end of the night and overnight temperatures on
:25:32. > :25:36.the coast no lower than seven or eight degrees, but inland, a few
:25:37. > :25:41.places getting as low as four or five. Tomorrow morning, there will
:25:42. > :25:46.be sunshine, the breeze will increase. By the end of the morning
:25:47. > :25:49.some patchy light rain arrives, the rain becoming more widespread
:25:50. > :25:56.towards the love part of the afternoon and early evening. That is
:25:57. > :25:59.also wind strength picking up, becoming south`westerly and suddenly
:26:00. > :26:07.ahead of that rain band and becoming strong along the south coast,
:26:08. > :26:10.temperatures possibly getting up to 14 or 15 degrees so warmer than
:26:11. > :26:16.today, despite the fact the breeze and cloud and rain rules then, also
:26:17. > :26:22.starting to see some low cloud on the moors becoming misty by early
:26:23. > :26:27.evening. The hours of Scilly, the rain arrives here first so it could
:26:28. > :26:31.cloud up, winds increasing and the rain waiting for quite a windy
:26:32. > :26:42.afternoon and a wet one. On to times of high water, on the south coast,
:26:43. > :26:47.and for our surfers, with the wind biting southerly, it makes you up on
:26:48. > :26:54.the north coast, but choppy on the south coast at three to four feet.
:26:55. > :27:00.Coastal waters forecast, the winds are backing so south`westerly
:27:01. > :27:05.visibility reduced to moderate in that rain. We will have a mix of
:27:06. > :27:11.sunny spells and showers on Thursday, winds also becoming many
:27:12. > :27:16.south`westerly, Friday that new area of low pressure makes it a wet day,
:27:17. > :27:21.also winds picking up later in the day, and for the weekend a lot of
:27:22. > :27:25.uncertainty, it will be quite unsettled with plenty of showers,
:27:26. > :27:30.possibly strong winds again, possibly gale force on both days on
:27:31. > :27:39.Saturday and Sunday. We will have further updates tomorrow. Good
:27:40. > :27:43.evening. I'm back at 10pm tonight. Join me then if you can. Goodbye.
