:00:16. > :00:19.criticised the Devon and Cornwall force at an inquest.
:00:20. > :00:22.Good evening. It followed a crash in which a suicidal driver was being
:00:23. > :00:30.followed by the police. Tonight we'll find out about the training
:00:31. > :00:35.officers receive. Police drivers are trained to a high standard and if we
:00:36. > :00:38.bring into many restrictions on how they carry out their duties, they
:00:39. > :00:45.will be actually fettered in their job. Also tonight, the parents who

:01:03. > :01:05.`` and art or vandalism? Devon and Cornwall Police have been
:01:06. > :01:08.demonstrating the intensive training their drivers are given, after
:01:09. > :01:12.criticism of the way they dealt with a suicidal man who killed a family
:01:13. > :01:13.by driving into them. An inquest yesterday concluded Marek
:01:14. > :01:17.Wojciechowski was responsible for the deaths of two members of the
:01:18. > :01:20.Twomey family in Torquay last summer. The sole survivor of the
:01:21. > :01:23.crash, Elber Twomey, has called for changes in the way the police deal
:01:24. > :01:34.with suicidal drivers. Our home affairs correspondent Simon Hall
:01:35. > :01:39.reports. Police driving is highly regulated.
:01:40. > :01:44.To become a senior traffic officer like this sergeant typically
:01:45. > :01:48.requires ten years of experience. I've got a crossroad up ahead, I've
:01:49. > :01:52.got a series of bends. Even though I'm travelling in excess of 30 miles
:01:53. > :01:57.an hour, I've still got the interest of the third party, the innocent
:01:58. > :02:00.member of the public to consider. Guidelines on police driving are
:02:01. > :02:05.continually reviewed and have been since the Torquay crash. Devon and
:02:06. > :02:09.Cornwall Police's policies that anyone joining the force, even
:02:10. > :02:15.civilian staff, must go through driving safety checks. The response
:02:16. > :02:22.officer who may have to go beyond the speed limit has to do a
:02:23. > :02:31.three`week course. Police drivers receive a lot of training. They must
:02:32. > :02:35.take account of the instant they are going to, the road conditions, the
:02:36. > :02:39.amount of vehicles on the road, to make sure they drive safely and also
:02:40. > :02:43.quickly to get to the incident so we can deal with whatever it is and
:02:44. > :02:47.protect the public. In the Torquay crash, the coroner said the police
:02:48. > :02:51.driver was exemplary in carrying out his duty. The police watchdog found
:02:52. > :02:55.he followed guidelines but the coroner also said those guidelines
:02:56. > :03:00.should be reviewed. The sole survivor, Elber Twomey, said she
:03:01. > :03:03.didn't blame the police driver but the police service needs to review
:03:04. > :03:05.Howard steals with a missing person who is known to have left a suicide
:03:06. > :03:21.note. I think the guidelines already quite
:03:22. > :03:24.robust. At the end of the day, if we bring into much featuring of police
:03:25. > :03:28.officers, there won't be able to do their job. They are there to protect
:03:29. > :03:33.the public from harm at the end of the day. The College of policing
:03:34. > :03:38.told us they had reviewed police driving guidelines since the crash.
:03:39. > :03:44.It was highly likely to have influenced the new policy, a
:03:45. > :03:49.spokesman said. Statistics indicate that fatalities to monks people who
:03:50. > :03:54.have had contact with the police are mostly in traffic pressures. These
:03:55. > :03:59.new guidelines attempt to ensure that police driving is as safe as it
:04:00. > :04:03.can be. A family from Devon say they want to
:04:04. > :04:06.see a powerful drug used to treat acne banned because they claim it
:04:07. > :04:10.played a part in their son taking his own life. The Medland family
:04:11. > :04:14.from Barnstaple were lobbying MPs in Westminster earlier to try and stop
:04:15. > :04:17.Roaccutane being used. The Manufacturer, Roche, says no causal
:04:18. > :04:29.link has been established between the medication and either depression
:04:30. > :04:34.or suicide. Kirk England reports. A star student. Ten years ago, Jon
:04:35. > :04:40.Medland killed himself. He had been taking Roaccutane. The inquest into
:04:41. > :04:45.the 22`year`old's death did not find the drug was responsible but a
:04:46. > :04:48.decade on, his parents still claim it played a part in what happened
:04:49. > :04:56.and are fighting again to get it banned. I am not going to shut up
:04:57. > :05:01.this time until the drug is taken off the market, however long it
:05:02. > :05:07.takes. And I don't care how much I have to do, I've got to work, I've
:05:08. > :05:11.got to earn a living, but I've got to continue this campaign until
:05:12. > :05:46.something major happens. In a statement, the manufacturer said.
:05:47. > :05:52.One south`west dermatologist has told BBC Spotlight that he and other
:05:53. > :05:55.doctors are happy to prescribe Roaccutane. We have to look at
:05:56. > :05:58.everything on a case`by`case basis particularly when it comes to
:05:59. > :06:03.history of depression and potential suicide risk. There is no great
:06:04. > :06:07.evidence out there that tells us that this drug is definitely
:06:08. > :06:12.associated with these things. But it's something that we are aware of.
:06:13. > :06:17.North Devon MP Nick Harvey hosted a Westminster debate on Roaccutane
:06:18. > :06:22.today. I want to get the British government to have another look at
:06:23. > :06:27.the drug, have another look at the evidence available from those that
:06:28. > :06:32.have had psychotic disorders and, in some cases to suicides, and have
:06:33. > :06:36.taken the drug, and to participate in a study perhaps across more than
:06:37. > :06:39.just the UK to see what can be determined about the link between
:06:40. > :06:43.the two. The government body responsible for regulating
:06:44. > :06:47.Roaccutane said they have kept the safety of the drug under close
:06:48. > :06:51.review. For this family, their fight continues.
:06:52. > :06:55.A senior teacher at Colyton Grammar School has been found with more than
:06:56. > :06:58.6,000 images of child abuse on his home computer. Peter Webber, who
:06:59. > :07:02.lives in Exmouth, was caught by police in an undercover operation.
:07:03. > :07:07.At Exeter Crown Court today, Webber admitted 15 charges of making and
:07:08. > :07:11.two of distributing indecent images. He was given a suspended jail
:07:12. > :07:16.sentence and ordered to attend a sex offenders' treatment programme.
:07:17. > :07:19.Webber no longer teaches. Colyton Grammar says the allegations don't
:07:20. > :07:31.relate in any way to the school or anyone it its community. `` anyone
:07:32. > :07:34.in its community. An influential committee of MPs
:07:35. > :07:36.today warned the government to scrap its plans to cut subsidies to
:07:37. > :07:39.farmers. The Environment Select Committee says farm incomes are
:07:40. > :07:42.falling and the proposals would make it more difficult for farmers to
:07:43. > :07:45.compete in the marketplace. Our political editor Martyn Oates joins
:07:46. > :07:47.us now from Westminster. This is part of a big Europe`wide
:07:48. > :07:52.reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, isn't it? Yes, the European
:07:53. > :07:54.Union has cut the budget for agriculture but it is giving
:07:55. > :07:58.individual member states the option to move some of the remaining money
:07:59. > :08:02.around, more specifically our government wants to take 15% from
:08:03. > :08:09.the budget which provides direct payments to farmers to help it with
:08:10. > :08:15.environmental schemes. The RSPB and others strongly support that but
:08:16. > :08:20.farming organisations and the select committee are opposed to it. I am
:08:21. > :08:23.joined by a farmer, the MP for Tiverton in Homerton, and a member
:08:24. > :08:27.of the select committee. These environmental groups are saying that
:08:28. > :08:31.because of the overall cuts, environmental schemes are under
:08:32. > :08:36.threat if this money isn't moved. If you move 9% of the money and not 15%
:08:37. > :08:41.of the money, you will have enough to cover environmental schemes.
:08:42. > :08:46.Later if you need that money lets take it then. Don't take it up
:08:47. > :08:50.front. In the end, getting money up to farmers, making sure we move
:08:51. > :08:53.money across towards the hills as well to make sure they are properly
:08:54. > :08:58.looked after those much for the environment, not just about
:08:59. > :09:01.environmental schemes. The government makes the point as to the
:09:02. > :09:05.environmental groups that this is public money and, actually,
:09:06. > :09:09.investing it in environmental schemes, pure and simple, is the
:09:10. > :09:13.best way to get value for money for the taxpayer. Provided those schemes
:09:14. > :09:18.are good, but if you've got a higher level entry scheme for many
:09:19. > :09:21.farmers, which worked well, but as long as you've got enough money to
:09:22. > :09:28.cover those, the best thing is to get the money, particularly to the
:09:29. > :09:31.livestock producers, the cow and sheep producers, to make sure those
:09:32. > :09:35.hillsides and grasslands are well looked after. That is very
:09:36. > :09:37.important. Government sometimes loses sight of that. Also
:09:38. > :09:45.simplifying the system is not going to happen `` has to happen. And we
:09:46. > :09:50.cannot get our maths wrong second time around. So I am looking forward
:09:51. > :09:53.to a simpler system. Thank you. The consultation on this ended last week
:09:54. > :09:58.and the government will very quickly chew over the results of this
:09:59. > :10:02.consultation and they will reach a decision before Christmas.
:10:03. > :10:05.There's been a sharp rise in the number of motorcyclists killed on
:10:06. > :10:08.the roads in the Avon and Somerset Police Force area this year. The
:10:09. > :10:11.fatalities have more than doubled, despite falling in other parts of
:10:12. > :10:19.the country. Scott Ellis has been finding out who is most at risk, and
:10:20. > :10:24.why. The worst part of his job is telling
:10:25. > :10:32.families of the death of a loved one. Behind each tragedy, the raw
:10:33. > :10:36.data. The at risk group are people over 25, people riding motorcycles
:10:37. > :10:42.in excess of 500 cc, people who are riding on all roads, and people who
:10:43. > :10:45.are returning to biking after some years away. Today in
:10:46. > :10:49.Weston`super`Mare, police were pulling override is to get the
:10:50. > :10:56.safety message across. When did you pass your test? 77, something like
:10:57. > :11:00.that. This rider says he was knocked off last December when a car pulled
:11:01. > :11:05.out. He is also a professional lorry driver. I treat everybody who drives
:11:06. > :11:09.a car like an idiot. And I'll try to anticipate what they do before I get
:11:10. > :11:17.to them but you can't always do that. So you take your life. It is a
:11:18. > :11:21.harsh but often heard few of those on two wheels. The third of this
:11:22. > :11:25.year's motorcycle deaths were caused by other vehicles crossing into the
:11:26. > :11:28.path of a bike. The majority, two thirds, or down to write a bike. The
:11:29. > :11:34.majority, two thirds, or down to ride happened that suggests it is
:11:35. > :11:38.inexperienced riders making mistakes. And that is backed by
:11:39. > :11:45.evidence from the shop floor. The average mileage now for bikes is
:11:46. > :11:50.3,000 miles a year. Even if someone is using one, the average is only
:11:51. > :11:52.3,000 miles a year. Not a lot of time building up that intimate
:11:53. > :12:01.knowledge of your motorcycle, so when you go out, you can get into
:12:02. > :12:05.trouble very quickly. The chief Constable of Avon and Somerset
:12:06. > :12:08.Police says he is alarmed by the motorcycle deaths and has called for
:12:09. > :12:13.fixed speed cameras to be switched back on to improve road safety.
:12:14. > :12:17.Coming up, the community taking direct action to deal with graffiti.
:12:18. > :12:24.Plus the unsung hero who's dedicated more than 50 years to helping
:12:25. > :12:27.youngsters learn judo. And something to ruffle a few
:12:28. > :12:35.feathers, the champion chicken washer.
:12:36. > :12:37.There are calls tonight for the government to demonstrate more
:12:38. > :12:40.commitment to wave energy. Millions of pounds have already been invested
:12:41. > :12:44.in the region to trial various wave energy technologies. More money has
:12:45. > :12:47.been announced today but the industry has been struggling to
:12:48. > :12:55.attract capital investment. Our environment correspondent Adrian
:12:56. > :12:59.Campbell reports. This is the life`saver device which
:13:00. > :13:03.has been undergoing tests in Falmouth. It is a Norwegian
:13:04. > :13:07.prototype which turns wave energy into electricity. The design has
:13:08. > :13:12.relied heavily on research, development and manufacture in the
:13:13. > :13:16.south`west. Today's announcement of around ?800,000 to help with further
:13:17. > :13:21.development has been welcomed by those involved. It has come from
:13:22. > :13:25.small beginnings. We are delighted to see it has managed to get the
:13:26. > :13:29.growth funding to take the next step and grow to where we have full`time
:13:30. > :13:35.staff actually operating now and facilitating developers coming out
:13:36. > :13:40.to the site in a more active way. Developers may soon have some good
:13:41. > :13:44.news to celebrate. The European Union's regional development fund is
:13:45. > :13:47.closed awarding another ?2 million to fledglings schemes in the
:13:48. > :13:52.south`west. These are the devices which it is expected will soon tie
:13:53. > :13:56.up to wave hub of Hale for further testing in tougher waters. But some
:13:57. > :14:00.within the industry say there is uncertainty about this government's
:14:01. > :14:05.commitment to renewables which is unsettling private investors. Any
:14:06. > :14:10.issue, rolling back of green taxes, for example, dense confidence, it is
:14:11. > :14:15.one of those factors that can affect confidence. Has the government made
:14:16. > :14:21.a mistake going down that road recently? I think it didn't have a
:14:22. > :14:25.choice. This test site has proved that there is plenty of potential
:14:26. > :14:31.for energy generation. The problem for the industry is that there isn't
:14:32. > :14:37.enough investment. Now to the subject of graffiti. Some people say
:14:38. > :14:41.it's art, or a form of expression that has been used since the Roman
:14:42. > :14:44.Empire. But many more say it's an eyesore, or, in fact, vandalism.
:14:45. > :14:47.Well, this week in Exeter, community groups are helping clean up their
:14:48. > :15:00.neighbourhood with graffiti removal kits provided by the City Council.
:15:01. > :15:03.Scribbled, scratched or sprayed, graffiti is a big problem too many
:15:04. > :15:07.city councils. In Exeter, they've been handing out special graffiti
:15:08. > :15:13.removal kits to volunteers from community groups like this one in St
:15:14. > :15:16.David's to help clean up the city. Everybody is stretched, so it is an
:15:17. > :15:22.opportunity for the community to step up. I'm actually an admirer of
:15:23. > :15:26.good graffiti, I have to say. I really do recognise it as a nod.
:15:27. > :15:32.What we are looking at mainly is tagging. This is really just an
:15:33. > :15:36.egotistical trip for people to put their tag on. Residents already pay
:15:37. > :15:40.for a cleaning service within their council tax but Exeter City Council
:15:41. > :15:47.say they want to empower communities to be able to deal with the graffiti
:15:48. > :15:51.problem. The council has the graffiti team that go around the
:15:52. > :15:56.city. There's probably more graffiti than what they can deal with.
:15:57. > :16:00.Sometimes, too, if there are people within the community who are willing
:16:01. > :16:04.to come out and help, I think it creates a certain bond within that
:16:05. > :16:09.community and people showing that they take pride in the area where
:16:10. > :16:12.they live. It is a criminal offence to leave graffiti and Exeter are
:16:13. > :16:16.offenders are often made to remove theirs. Graffiti has been a problem
:16:17. > :16:20.over the last few months. We have had some good successes with five
:16:21. > :16:23.people being put through the criminal justice system in relation
:16:24. > :16:27.to the graffiti they've caused in Exeter. What this is about now is
:16:28. > :16:32.getting a blank canvas to assess how bad that problem is and make Exeter
:16:33. > :16:35.a great place to live. The police say they will be watching for any
:16:36. > :16:38.return of graffiti to the cleaned areas.
:16:39. > :16:41.Now, how well prepared are you to deal with whatever weather this
:16:42. > :16:44.winter throws at us while you're out driving? December is officially the
:16:45. > :16:48.beginning of winter so now is the time to consider how you'd cope in
:16:49. > :16:51.snow and ice. The Highways Agency estimates that a quarter of
:16:52. > :16:54.motorists don't do cold weather checks on their vehicles, and don't
:16:55. > :17:02.carry the right equipment. Clare Burton reports.
:17:03. > :17:08.January 2010. Hundreds of drivers are caught out by a snowstorm in
:17:09. > :17:13.Devon. Some were stuck for hours. With nothing to eat or drink and
:17:14. > :17:18.nothing warm to wear. And they are not alone. According to the Highways
:17:19. > :17:22.Agency, a court of us make no winter checks on our cars and they want
:17:23. > :17:27.that to change. We've been planning for a long time for this winter. But
:17:28. > :17:31.what we need people to consider is what they do. So we are ready to
:17:32. > :17:35.power the roads and grit and deal with it, but they need to be
:17:36. > :17:39.considering what they are doing, so planning ahead, making sure the
:17:40. > :17:41.equipment they've gotten their vehicles is appropriate, make sure
:17:42. > :17:48.they've got water, food, warm clothes. And sense, really. As well
:17:49. > :17:49.as checking the forecast and planning your journey, items to
:17:50. > :18:08.carry include... So, are the motorists prepared? No.
:18:09. > :18:12.I'd be stuck. I normally have a warm coat but that is it. With enough
:18:13. > :18:17.warning, the Highways Agency can treat the roads before temperatures
:18:18. > :18:20.fall. And if the white stuff is coming, they want drivers to do the
:18:21. > :18:24.right things. Good advice, and David's here with
:18:25. > :18:29.the weather in a few minutes to see if we'll be needing our flasks and
:18:30. > :18:33.fleeces this week. We probably won't have any snow or ice all winter! But
:18:34. > :18:36.we will be prepared. All this week we're finding out
:18:37. > :18:40.about the people you have nominated as the unsung sporting hero of the
:18:41. > :18:44.south`west. It's a celebration of the people who give up huge amounts
:18:45. > :18:47.of their own time to help others enjoy sport in the region. Tonight
:18:48. > :18:50.we meet Alan Kimber, who has been serving the region's biggest Judo
:18:51. > :18:58.club for more than half a century. John Ayres reports.
:18:59. > :19:04.Judo's not for the faint`hearted. Alan Kimber is the chairman of this
:19:05. > :19:09.club. He joined 56 years ago and at the age of 19 he was already
:19:10. > :19:13.treasurer. In his younger days, he missed out on Olympic selection, but
:19:14. > :19:16.he has spent his time coaching and mentoring thousands of children over
:19:17. > :19:23.the years, so what drives him? Judo is one of those sports that gets in
:19:24. > :19:27.the blood. Once you've done it, you can't really leave it be. I don't
:19:28. > :19:32.think there is a week on by all my life that I haven't been involved
:19:33. > :19:36.with judo. These day, he referees and coaches. He is also chairman of
:19:37. > :19:41.judo in the county. His dedication has served his club in good times
:19:42. > :19:46.and bad. Most sports clubs will have had trouble, lack of numbers etc,
:19:47. > :19:50.two different sports coming in. He's always been there, he's made lots of
:19:51. > :20:01.effort keep the club going. He is the club, really.
:20:02. > :20:14.He has coached competitors. Alan was awarded his belt a couple of years
:20:15. > :20:18.ago. You have to be awarded this belt is due to services you provide
:20:19. > :20:22.for the British judo Association. I've been teaching is so long,
:20:23. > :20:25.parents bring their kids and they say you taught me when I was a
:20:26. > :20:29.little boy. It's very nice to hear that, but it makes me look in the
:20:30. > :20:34.mirror and think, how long have you been doing it? People believe that
:20:35. > :20:39.without Alan, this club would not have kept going for so long. This is
:20:40. > :20:43.his legacy. It is hard to believe he has been involved more than 50
:20:44. > :20:46.years. More from our unsung heroes series
:20:47. > :20:48.tomorrow and you can find out who the winner is in Spotlight on

:21:09. > :21:13.Yeovil Town versus Blackpool on BBC Somerset on 95.5 FM from seven
:21:14. > :21:17.o'clock tonight. Over the next few weeks, many people
:21:18. > :21:20.will be spending a lot of time in the kitchen preparing for Christmas.
:21:21. > :21:23.But in one kitchen in Cornwall, they're busy in a very different
:21:24. > :21:27.way. We've been to meet Clive Stephens who has just won one of the
:21:28. > :21:34.country's top trophies for his work. Spotlight's Eleanor Parkinson
:21:35. > :21:37.explains. Clive Stevens has been breeding and
:21:38. > :21:41.showing poultry for more than 40 years and has won many trophies.
:21:42. > :21:46.He's just returned from the National portrait exhibition where he scooped
:21:47. > :21:50.a top award, the supreme champion. So, what is his secret? At this time
:21:51. > :21:57.of year, you'll find him in the kitchen a `` in the kitchen with the
:21:58. > :22:01.washing up liquid, washing his birds. You can get into trouble with
:22:02. > :22:05.mites and that type of thing. This makes sure they are completely
:22:06. > :22:09.clean, right through. You think they are not dirty, but when you see the
:22:10. > :22:12.water one I tip it away, although I keep them pretty clean all the time,
:22:13. > :22:18.it just gives them that little bit of extra. People think I'm washing
:22:19. > :22:24.the dishes and all of that. Then they looked down and they think I'm
:22:25. > :22:29.crazy! She is clucking away, is she happy? Yes, she is quite contented.
:22:30. > :22:34.What does his wife think of him taking over the kitchen? I was a bit
:22:35. > :22:39.flabbergasted the first time when I realised what was happening in the
:22:40. > :22:46.kitchen. But I have got used to it over 30 years. After a rinse, the
:22:47. > :22:51.band to Ms placed on the board to dry off. So your technique is just
:22:52. > :22:56.use the towel? Yes. Have you used her drivers? Yes but it drives them
:22:57. > :23:04.a bit too quick and they tend to be a bit frizzled. So I don't bother
:23:05. > :23:10.with that. I just go like this. I give them a mass of. Actually it
:23:11. > :23:14.will take 24 hours for this tend to dry out completely, so she will be
:23:15. > :23:19.placed in a box next or warm radiator. Clive has another showing
:23:20. > :23:27.this week so he will be busy in the kitchen.
:23:28. > :23:29.That's great, isn't it? That chicken was enjoying it! I think I've seen
:23:30. > :23:38.it all. We will now look back before we look
:23:39. > :23:41.forward. Good evening, we will look back at
:23:42. > :23:47.the weather for the month of November. Not particularly dramatic
:23:48. > :23:56.in terms of statistics. Let's start by having a look at the rainfall
:23:57. > :24:02.amounts. The average is 100 millimetres and we are not far off
:24:03. > :24:06.at 91.3. Sunshine, we are down. Generally a lot of cloud around. We
:24:07. > :24:12.should see and hundred hours, but we are down to 77 hours. It was a
:24:13. > :24:18.cloudy month. And temperatures, nothing too outstanding in the
:24:19. > :24:22.daytime temperatures. The night`time average is 6.1 degrees but we are
:24:23. > :24:27.below that. So it has been colder during the night. And the last two
:24:28. > :24:30.weeks we've noticed that a lot. South`west water reservoir levels,
:24:31. > :24:36.this time last year they will almost fall, and at the moment we are shy
:24:37. > :24:41.of 80% full. Not too much to worry about this we have a very dry
:24:42. > :24:46.winter. But look at the details for the forecast. We have a change
:24:47. > :24:51.tomorrow. After two grey and dull days, it brightens up and we should
:24:52. > :24:55.see some sunshine. We have sunshine in the afternoon and by the end of
:24:56. > :24:59.the day, feeling just a little bit colder. The colder air floods in.
:25:00. > :25:04.That is the great stripe of cloud. There is a nice clearance the other
:25:05. > :25:09.side of that well have some well broken cloud. We do have front
:25:10. > :25:16.bringing in cold air syncing across the country. Not quite getting to
:25:17. > :25:20.the Channel Islands but for most of south`west England, the afternoon is
:25:21. > :25:24.much brighter and that will see the sunshine. The time we get to
:25:25. > :25:28.Thursday, it is a breezy day, the winds from the north`west becoming
:25:29. > :25:31.strong through the afternoon and we might see a few showers towards the
:25:32. > :25:36.end of the day but nothing compared to other parts of the country, which
:25:37. > :25:41.could be very windy indeed. There is that cloud structure from early on,
:25:42. > :25:45.not much brightness. Our cameraman Jeff tried to find some sunshine in
:25:46. > :25:50.the sky but he wasn't fortunate enough to find any at all. A grey
:25:51. > :26:01.day. Very calm seas, though, so for our date voters, good fishing
:26:02. > :26:04.weather. `` for our day boaters. There is a breeze developing
:26:05. > :26:08.tomorrow into Thursday, so perhaps these calm scenes won't be mirrored
:26:09. > :26:12.moving towards the end of the week. Overnight tonight, the cloud is
:26:13. > :26:16.stubborn, it doesn't shift, and thick enough for some rain now and
:26:17. > :26:22.then. Nothing to worry about, though. Tomorrow morning, grey and
:26:23. > :26:27.misty with a fair amount of cloud. Overnight temptress, a few degrees
:26:28. > :26:31.above freezing in Somerset, for most of us well above freezing. Tomorrow
:26:32. > :26:34.is a cloudy morning with outbreaks of rain at quickly into the
:26:35. > :26:39.afternoon it will brighten up nicely with the sunshine popping out and
:26:40. > :26:44.temperatures probably up at nine or ten. They are falling through the
:26:45. > :26:48.day as that breeze continues to freshen coming in from the north and
:26:49. > :26:54.drawing in cold air all the time. Slow to clear, that were the front,
:26:55. > :26:55.for the Isles of Scilly. Patchy rain into the afternoon. The times of
:26:56. > :27:09.high water. Surfing has been very disappointing.
:27:10. > :27:13.There is slightly more of a wave tomorrow. Up to three feet and
:27:14. > :27:17.choppy on the north coast. The winds will be mainly from the north, three
:27:18. > :27:22.to four, picking up to force five moving into the evening. Thursday, a
:27:23. > :27:27.breezy day, no doubt. Some sunny spells with the risk of some
:27:28. > :27:31.showers. Then high pressure comes back into the weekend and it all
:27:32. > :27:34.quiet and is down again. Have a good evening.
:27:35. > :27:43.Don't forget, commentary of the Yeovil match on the radio in a few
:27:44. > :27:44.minutes time. And we will be back at 6:30pm tomorrow evening. From all of
:27:45. > :27:46.us, goodbye.
