:00:00. > :00:10.perhaps 48 hours of drier weather for many of us. But between now and
:00:11. > :00:14.The relentless onslaught from the elements ` coastal communities have
:00:15. > :00:21.spent another day under threat from the sea. Good evening. Welcome to
:00:22. > :00:24.Spotlight. At one stage overnight, people in parts of Dorset were urged
:00:25. > :00:28.to leave their homes. Inland, villages are cut off on the Somerset
:00:29. > :00:39.Levels. Residents say more should be done to prevent it happening.
:00:40. > :00:42.Also tonight, a super inquiry into plans for new homes which would see
:00:43. > :00:50.the size of a village increased by 40%. Developers want to build more
:00:51. > :00:53.than 200 houses in Feniton. And the remarkable story of the
:00:54. > :00:56.mother and son she gave up for adoption.
:00:57. > :00:59.The battering from the elements has continued today, but tonight there
:01:00. > :01:02.are signs that the situation is finally easing. The last few severe
:01:03. > :01:05.flood warnings in the South West were downgraded late this afternoon,
:01:06. > :01:09.but more than 30 flood warnings remain in force in Somerset and
:01:10. > :01:12.Dorset. Overnight, some communities along the Dorset coast were warned
:01:13. > :01:15.to leave their homes as huge waves overtopped flood defences, prompting
:01:16. > :01:21.warning sirens to be sounded on Portland. From Chiswell, Chris
:01:22. > :01:28.Lyddon sends this report Portland under
:01:29. > :01:36.Port plant under attack, storm force winds and 40 foot waves threatening
:01:37. > :01:39.to engulf sea defences. `` Portland. The two owners of this pub and
:01:40. > :01:44.people living nearby were told to leave last night, but they, like
:01:45. > :01:48.many others, stayed put. We decided we wanted to stay here. The pub has
:01:49. > :01:54.been here for close to 360 years and we couldn't see it washed away. We
:01:55. > :02:02.have three storeys, so we went upstairs to watch from the window.
:02:03. > :02:05.Quite hair raising at times. We were well`informed and everyone looked
:02:06. > :02:09.out for us. We shot the pub because we decided it was a bit too
:02:10. > :02:13.dangerous Tuesday open for customers. `` to stay open.
:02:14. > :02:16.Floodgates remained in place today and emergency services are on site
:02:17. > :02:21.monitoring the treacherous conditions while the risk of danger
:02:22. > :02:24.to life remains. I have been in touch with the Environment Agency
:02:25. > :02:28.and police, and they have done all they can. There is nothing you can
:02:29. > :02:31.do against Mother Nature which is as powerful as this, other than help
:02:32. > :02:35.people, advise people to take precautionary measures, and that has
:02:36. > :02:41.been done. The severe conditions brought out large numbers of people
:02:42. > :02:45.eager to witness the occasion. I went on to this wall first but it
:02:46. > :02:55.took my breath away, the wind was so strong, but the sight is amazing.
:02:56. > :02:59.I've lived in Portland since 1999 and we have never seen anything like
:03:00. > :03:02.this. It's unprecedented. The defences have been brilliant and we
:03:03. > :03:12.are really pleased that Portland people have been able to sleep at
:03:13. > :03:16.night knowing they were safe. Many of the local people we spoke to
:03:17. > :03:20.today say conditions here last night and today are among the worst since
:03:21. > :03:26.these new sea defences were put in place. Conditions have eased, the
:03:27. > :03:30.winds are still strong, and the high tide expected around 11pm. The
:03:31. > :03:37.council says rescue centres will be in place but they'd hope not to have
:03:38. > :03:43.to move people to them, so a sense of relief the worst may now be over.
:03:44. > :03:46.Spotlight's Janine Jansen is in Chiswell for us tonight. High water
:03:47. > :03:53.there is in just over four hours. Janine, what's it like there now? As
:03:54. > :03:58.you heard, though severe flood warnings have been downgraded. There
:03:59. > :04:03.are just over 30 flood warnings in place across Dorset and Somerset.
:04:04. > :04:07.The Environment Agency are still here overnight, still blustery but
:04:08. > :04:11.conditions starting to ease just after 4pm. Many weather watchers
:04:12. > :04:16.came to look at the spectacular waves. The power of those waves had
:04:17. > :04:21.an amazing effect on the beach, so many pebbles were washed out to sea
:04:22. > :04:26.and is a massive ridge in the beach. Some people heard those sirens last
:04:27. > :04:31.night and said they were so eerily. Fortunately just two homes were
:04:32. > :04:36.flooded, not too badly so people didn't have to leave. Seven people
:04:37. > :04:40.died in rest centres overnight as they were motorists who couldn't get
:04:41. > :04:43.home because the road was closed. Fortunately the road between
:04:44. > :04:48.Weymouth and Portsmouth is not closed so fingers crossed it will be
:04:49. > :04:52.open tonight. In Somerset an extra ?250,000 has
:04:53. > :04:56.been pledged tonight to help those hit by floods. The money will come
:04:57. > :04:58.from the County Council, but as our Somerset correspondent Clinton
:04:59. > :05:02.Rogers has been finding out, there is growing anger in the village of
:05:03. > :05:06.Muchelney on the Somerset Levels, which faces weeks being cut off by
:05:07. > :05:11.flood water. Every road into Muchelney is flooded. The depth of
:05:12. > :05:18.water beneath us is at least four feet. For now this remains the only
:05:19. > :05:23.way in and out of the village. These pictures taken from a naval copter,
:05:24. > :05:28.dramatically illustrate the plight facing Muchelney. Cut off,
:05:29. > :05:36.surrounded by thousands of acres of water. They should be protecting us.
:05:37. > :05:43.I'm not happy, I'm very angry. But it is on the ground you get a true
:05:44. > :05:48.sense of the anger here. Peter's frustration is boiling over and when
:05:49. > :05:52.he and his wife both retard doctors, took me to their home a mile up the
:05:53. > :06:01.road, first by tractor, and then by boat, it is easy to see why the so
:06:02. > :06:07.upset. Deeper than last year. They haven't finished repowering the hose
:06:08. > :06:14.from last year's flood. They call that a one in 100 year event, so
:06:15. > :06:17.what is this? Asked most people in Muchelney and they will point the
:06:18. > :06:23.finger of blame at the Environment Agency. They have been pushing for
:06:24. > :06:28.dredging to be done `` we have been pushing and they won't do it. They
:06:29. > :06:33.say it won't make a difference. Views shared by this couple who left
:06:34. > :06:43.their home by canoe to visit friends for a shoulder to cry on. This is
:06:44. > :06:47.readily fixable. The village is not short of essential supplies. The
:06:48. > :06:53.church is acting as a food store, most of this brought by boat. And
:06:54. > :07:00.the essential medicine for this man's wife was on today's delivery
:07:01. > :07:06.risk for the Burnham rescue boat. This water isn't going away any time
:07:07. > :07:11.soon, so the wider issue here is, how do people get to work or
:07:12. > :07:15.school? Mum has been setting the loads of work to do and I have loads
:07:16. > :07:25.of books to revise. So it isn't a day off? No! So with that to contend
:07:26. > :07:30.with, the arrival of a national newspaper with a publicity stoned
:07:31. > :07:37.was met with anger. You are taking the Mick coming here. This is not a
:07:38. > :07:44.zoo. I am disgusted. Beauty in a boat, they said, was the last thing
:07:45. > :07:47.they needed. Today, the Environment Agency spoke
:07:48. > :07:55.to the BBC about its work on the Somerset Levels. The challenge for
:07:56. > :08:00.us is how we best use are funding, so having explained how we managed
:08:01. > :08:04.to protect 60,000 properties from that see, we are left with the
:08:05. > :08:10.challenge of the river water trapped behind that, floods in fields and
:08:11. > :08:16.inroads threatening properties, and one solution to manage that better
:08:17. > :08:21.is to dredge sections, but that can cost up to ?4 million and it is a
:08:22. > :08:26.challenge for us to justify funding all of that, so we are working with
:08:27. > :08:30.other organisations as to how is that funding can be raised.
:08:31. > :08:33.Concerns that the government isn't ensuring there's enough money to
:08:34. > :08:36.fight flooding were voiced by MPs today. A report by the Environment
:08:37. > :08:40.Select Committee says the government needs to prove it can provide enough
:08:41. > :08:49.support. Our political editor Martyn Oates joins us now from Westminster.
:08:50. > :08:53.What are the MPs worried about? The worry about money. Defra has
:08:54. > :08:57.shouldered some of the biggest cuts of any department in Whitehall. MPs
:08:58. > :09:02.say there are questions whether it can cope with its duties. We also
:09:03. > :09:08.know Defra is set to sustain further cuts which are almost as big again
:09:09. > :09:12.by 2016 and MPs say the Environment Secretary is not being clear about
:09:13. > :09:16.which aspects of the Department will bear the brunt. They say the
:09:17. > :09:23.government needs to make savings but they shouldn't have an adverse
:09:24. > :09:27.impact on Defra's ability to deal with emergencies and they point to
:09:28. > :09:32.attempt to deal with a range of recent emergencies like food
:09:33. > :09:35.contamination and animal disease. The report is specifically critical
:09:36. > :09:40.of the government's approach to flood defences? Since 2012 the
:09:41. > :09:45.government has been keen to get money from the private sector with a
:09:46. > :09:51.partnership organisation to pay for flood defences. The committee says
:09:52. > :09:53.it think this is a good idea in principle so housing developments
:09:54. > :09:58.should contribute to flood defence schemes, but they say the problem is
:09:59. > :10:03.that only a tiny amount of money has been gained from the private sector,
:10:04. > :10:07.so they say the environment sector `` Environment Secretary needs to
:10:08. > :10:12.say how much money has been gained but further sate Ho they will get
:10:13. > :10:15.more money from the private sector for the future.
:10:16. > :10:18.A super planning inquiry has started in East Devon over proposed housing
:10:19. > :10:22.developments that could see a village increase in size by 40%.
:10:23. > :10:28.Three developers want to build 235 new homes in Feniton. The plans have
:10:29. > :10:33.already been thrown out by the local authority. The inquiry is being seen
:10:34. > :10:36.as a test case on new planning rules, which say developments should
:10:37. > :10:47.go ahead as long as they are sustainable. You don't have to look
:10:48. > :10:50.too hard to see that many locals are worried for the future of their
:10:51. > :10:54.village. Three developers want to build on four sites in the village,
:10:55. > :10:57.creating an extra 235 homes. The District Council rejected the plans
:10:58. > :11:09.but the developers appealed. Today a super planning inquiry began at
:11:10. > :11:13.nearby Exeter Airport. Over 80 villagers came to show their
:11:14. > :11:16.support. I think if Feniton falls, nowhere in England will be safe. If
:11:17. > :11:21.40% is deemed appropriate, why not twice as much, so when is enough?
:11:22. > :11:25.That is our slogan. Feniton has had its fair share of flooding problems
:11:26. > :11:34.and few want to see the village increase by 40%. There were concerns
:11:35. > :11:37.it would only make things worse. It is good for business, obviously, but
:11:38. > :11:43.I think because the village gets flooded so much, it is not very good
:11:44. > :11:48.for the village. Unless they can promise us a lot of improvements to
:11:49. > :11:52.the village, I can't deal with it. 50 homes are already being built by
:11:53. > :11:55.one of the developers appealing at the inquiry. They said they firmly
:11:56. > :11:57.believe the proposals would deliver developments, creating much`needed
:11:58. > :12:00.new affordable housing as well as supporting vital new flood
:12:01. > :12:10.prevention measures, so it is all to play for. While it is to do say
:12:11. > :12:14.Feniton has amenities like a club and Rhyl waystation, shops and a
:12:15. > :12:18.primary school, one thing it lacks like other places in the south`west
:12:19. > :12:22.is affordable housing, which is reason why someone who did not want
:12:23. > :12:28.to appear on camera told me he was very keen to see these developments
:12:29. > :12:32.take place. That is a minority view. For the next two weeks, those
:12:33. > :12:38.opposed to the extension of the village will follow the inquiry
:12:39. > :12:42.closely, arguing the findings are planning inspectors could have
:12:43. > :12:46.ramifications for one small village and all those places facing
:12:47. > :12:49.developments on their doorstep. There'll be more on Feniton in next
:12:50. > :12:57.week's Inside Out. That's here on BBC One on Monday at 7:30pm.
:12:58. > :13:00.Devon and Cornwall's Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg has
:13:01. > :13:03.described the cutting of the force's budget next year by a further ?2.5
:13:04. > :13:06.million as disappointing. In 2010, the Government imposed budget cuts
:13:07. > :13:10.of ?51 million up to next year, which has resulted in the loss of
:13:11. > :13:14.400 police officers' jobs and a similar number of civilian posts.
:13:15. > :13:20.The money from these latest cuts will be used to fund major national
:13:21. > :13:26.policing projects. Later in the programme, we'll meet a
:13:27. > :13:30.man preparing for a challenge. Hello, everybody. The new manager of
:13:31. > :13:32.Torquay United says he's confident he'll get them out of the relegation
:13:33. > :13:36.zone. And more victims of the weather `
:13:37. > :13:43.the baby seals separated from their mothers by the storms.
:13:44. > :13:47.An inherited eye condition has resulted in a remarkable reunion for
:13:48. > :13:52.one Torquay man and the mother who gave him up for adoption. Steve
:13:53. > :13:55.Darling was adopted in the Midlands, but decades later, a search for his
:13:56. > :14:00.birth parents ended much closer to home than he expected. Our South
:14:01. > :14:06.Devon reporter John Ayres takes up the story. Back in the 1960s, Pam
:14:07. > :14:10.Johnson was 17 when she gave birth to Steve Darling in Birmingham. She
:14:11. > :14:15.was unmarried and her parents had passed away. She felt giving him up
:14:16. > :14:19.for adoption was her only option. In those days it seemed the normal
:14:20. > :14:24.thing that you gave a baby up for adoption if you weren't married.
:14:25. > :14:27.John, Steve's father, and I were both very young, so I went into an
:14:28. > :14:37.unmarried mothers' home and Steven was adopted. Steve's adoptive mother
:14:38. > :14:44.Penny never hid it from him that he was adopted. The family moved to
:14:45. > :14:48.Torbay in the '70s. 30 years on, Steve had not been looking for his
:14:49. > :14:57.natural mother until a doctor made a comment about an inherited eye
:14:58. > :15:02.condition. He found her here in South Devon. Steve is a councillor
:15:03. > :15:05.on Torbay Council and she was working as a teacher in the board he
:15:06. > :15:09.represents. That was just the start of the coincidences. We realised
:15:10. > :15:13.because she taught at Torquay but lived in Kingsteignton, she used to
:15:14. > :15:20.pass the end of our garden to get to work each day. Steve has also found
:15:21. > :15:21.a half`sister here in Torbay as well as
:15:22. > :15:26.If I hadn't had that tipping point, maybe this wouldn't have happened
:15:27. > :15:30.and I wouldn't have had the positives I am getting out of this
:15:31. > :15:33.now. Since they have all come together, Steve has become firm
:15:34. > :15:36.friends with Pam and his extended family.
:15:37. > :15:39.The new manager of Torquay United has been talking about his plans for
:15:40. > :15:42.the struggling League Two club. Chris Hargreaves knows he's got an
:15:43. > :15:46.uphill battle and the odds are stacked against him, as he takes
:15:47. > :15:53.over as Alan Knill's successor. Dave Gibbins reports from Plainmoor. It
:15:54. > :16:00.was time for a new manager at Torquay United. Chris Hargreaves
:16:01. > :16:06.always wanted to start his managerial career at play more. He
:16:07. > :16:09.is well respected by players and staff after captaining United back
:16:10. > :16:14.into the Football League five years ago when they won a Wembley
:16:15. > :16:17.conference play`off final. It was clear he would eventually find a
:16:18. > :16:25.route back to rejoin the people he knows, including many players. A
:16:26. > :16:32.warm welcome, then. They took a terribly. No, please! I think they
:16:33. > :16:37.took it quite well. I know them, they know me, we had some good times
:16:38. > :16:43.here and they care about the club and don't want to see it go down, so
:16:44. > :16:47.that gives you hunger from within. The 41`year`old leaves his
:16:48. > :16:54.first`team coaching job at Bournemouth to join United. The
:16:55. > :16:57.goals are struggling next to the bottom of the lead and face a
:16:58. > :17:05.possible return to non`league football, so what is his escape
:17:06. > :17:12.plan? I'm going to get onto the training field first and foremost
:17:13. > :17:16.and speak to lots of players about coming in and I will be up for the
:17:17. > :17:21.challenge, and that is the question, are they up for the challenge? His
:17:22. > :17:26.assistant will be Lee Hodges, who used to play for Plymouth Argyle and
:17:27. > :17:30.Torquay before entering as part`time manager for Truro city. After
:17:31. > :17:39.sacking Alan Knill five days ago, the board has gone in the direction
:17:40. > :17:45.of recruiting a young partnership. He has recruited Lee Hodges as his
:17:46. > :17:47.number two who also has managerial experience and that combination of
:17:48. > :17:54.youth and experience is what will work. This is where the new team
:17:55. > :17:59.will be sitting a week on Saturday for their first home game. They
:18:00. > :18:02.start in earnest at Wimbledon this weekend but a week on Saturday it is
:18:03. > :18:09.against a club Chris Greaves also had talks with about becoming their
:18:10. > :18:15.new boss, old Hampton town. How ironic will that be?
:18:16. > :18:21.He looks happy in that the goat. Very at home! `` in that dugout.
:18:22. > :18:24.This week we're hearing about people who've decided or who've had no
:18:25. > :18:27.choice to continue working when they reach retirement age. The South West
:18:28. > :18:31.already has a higher proportion of older workers than the UK average.
:18:32. > :18:32.Greg Wade has been to meet a professor nearing his 70s, who's
:18:33. > :18:50.still hard at work. 68`year`old professor Roy samples is
:18:51. > :18:56.today examining butterfly wings under an electron microscope. A
:18:57. > :19:04.fellow at the Royal Society, he has won many physics awards. I have been
:19:05. > :19:08.here at Exeter since 1972 first as lecturer and then stayed on as
:19:09. > :19:13.senior lecturer. I can't remember the day I got up and the morning and
:19:14. > :19:19.thought, oh, it's work. It has never been like that. Some consider
:19:20. > :19:27.academics Lottie because in their profession experience and knowledge
:19:28. > :19:32.are valued `` lucky. In academics the skills develop as they get up,
:19:33. > :19:38.and that doesn't want to be lost. Just because you reach a certain age
:19:39. > :19:41.doesn't mean you. Giving it, and universities are happy to have you
:19:42. > :19:47.because of your knowledge. It is a resource we do not want to use. That
:19:48. > :19:57.like blues. But even here you have to retire at some point. At some
:19:58. > :20:01.point they will say that I have to think dropped away and am keeping
:20:02. > :20:06.some younger person out of their post. When Roy and eventually
:20:07. > :20:09.retires, he and many in his profession often come back for sheer
:20:10. > :20:11.love of the job. Organisers of a European funded
:20:12. > :20:14.project are calling for more applicants from the South West. The
:20:15. > :20:18.initiative works with young unemployed people. They're given the
:20:19. > :20:21.chance to develop new skills while visiting a foreign country for a
:20:22. > :20:30.month. Johnny Rutherford has been following the story. Something
:20:31. > :20:36.strange has been going on around the beaches of East Cornwall. It is an
:20:37. > :20:42.art project called stargazing at sea. Five unemployed Austrian young
:20:43. > :20:48.people have been on a month's residential artistic course. This is
:20:49. > :20:54.a European funded programme. The idea is to offer young people a
:20:55. > :21:01.first cultural experience to live in another European culture `` country.
:21:02. > :21:05.It is also important to give them professional experience with people
:21:06. > :21:09.who know what to do and a chance for personal development. The students
:21:10. > :21:16.are taken from their normal environment to give them a clean
:21:17. > :21:24.start towards challenges. Here I can make things I like and nobody says
:21:25. > :21:30.it is wrong or right. I can't be myself after this and go my own way.
:21:31. > :21:38.I don't know what to do at home but I think I will get more into it.
:21:39. > :21:41.Projects like this will be available next year for people from the
:21:42. > :21:46.south`west to travel to other parts of Europe are but not many people

:22:09. > :22:14.Austrians' work is being displayed at a gallery. The chance is to get
:22:15. > :22:18.individuals into the landscape and to engage in it and to spread the
:22:19. > :22:25.word of what it has been like here, so it has been a winner. Not all art

:22:32. > :22:35.Returning to the story that's dominated the news for the past few
:22:36. > :22:38.days, the huge storm. The weather and rough seas have also been
:22:39. > :22:41.causing problems for some of our wildlife. The bad weather came
:22:42. > :22:44.during the grey seals' breeding season, and a large number of baby
:22:45. > :22:47.seals have been rescued after being separated from their mothers. David
:22:48. > :22:57.George reports from the Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek. Yet and under
:22:58. > :23:00.huge wave crashes ashore. These are some of the biggest waves seen in
:23:01. > :23:06.the south`west over the last few days. The lookout tower is around
:23:07. > :23:09.200 feet above sea level. Hard to believe the grey seals and their
:23:10. > :23:16.pups can be living under that, but they are. Some don't make it. The
:23:17. > :23:22.lucky ones are rescued and end up in a seal sanctuary. It is the pups who
:23:23. > :23:26.were most at risk because they don't know where the best places are. We
:23:27. > :23:31.have had calls about pups in people's Gardens, on the edges of
:23:32. > :23:36.beaches and in harbours, so they are turning up all over the place. They
:23:37. > :23:45.had 25 call outs in the last week, four times the normal number. That
:23:46. > :23:50.is one of our pups. He was rescued on the 7th of January and was quite
:23:51. > :23:54.underweight and had a bit of a temperature, so that is why he came
:23:55. > :24:00.to us and he is doing much better now. This year the baby pups all
:24:01. > :24:07.have a space theme to their names. There is an Armstrong next year ``
:24:08. > :24:14.next door. It is not just seals that have been infected by rough seas. ``
:24:15. > :24:21.affected. Experts say most of our dream life hasn't adapted to deal
:24:22. > :24:26.with these conditions. Experts say the seals will be returned to the
:24:27. > :24:30.wild or as close to where the rebound as possible. Most are ready
:24:31. > :24:41.to go now that they are now waiting for a period of calm weather.
:24:42. > :24:46.Right on cue, wasn't it? Dear little baby seals. Let's hope there is
:24:47. > :24:50.better weather on the way for them. We are not quite out of it yet.
:24:51. > :24:55.Tomorrow we have a dry and bright start for the day but we will see
:24:56. > :25:01.further rain which could be heavy at times, so we have another weather
:25:02. > :25:05.warning from midday tomorrow, but even before tomorrow, tonight
:25:06. > :25:10.eastern parts of the region could see heavy rain, perhaps South East
:25:11. > :25:14.Devon, Dorset, parts of Somerset. Some heavy, thundery rain will move
:25:15. > :25:19.through fairly quickly then some drier weather, then this next system
:25:20. > :25:24.pushes in with some heavy rain tomorrow evening. That clears. There
:25:25. > :25:29.is day, a temporary ridge of high pressure, temporary calm conditions
:25:30. > :25:35.and another weather front on Friday. Today we have seen underage showers
:25:36. > :25:37.and the rest of the day some light showers and sunshine and these winds
:25:38. > :25:42.have been easing through the day, but here is that area of rain that
:25:43. > :25:48.might ring somehow heavy conditions later tonight, a dry picture for all
:25:49. > :25:53.of us with some clear skies and lighter winds. We will be cooler
:25:54. > :25:57.tonight as well, temperatures dropping to five or six degrees
:25:58. > :26:03.inland. Tomorrow a dry and bright start, camp with sunshine that this
:26:04. > :26:10.rain will push in from the south and west into Devon then reaching much
:26:11. > :26:13.of the region by tomorrow evening's rush`hour with rain and these winds
:26:14. > :26:19.increasing tomorrow, but still fairly mild, temperatures up to ten
:26:20. > :26:22.or 11 degrees. For the Isles of Scilly, dry weather in mission eight
:26:23. > :26:27.at that rain will arrive and turn heavy, winds increasing as we go
:26:28. > :26:39.through the day. Times of high water for tomorrow, Falmouth at 1029 and
:26:40. > :26:45.2242, and for the surfers tomorrow there are huge graves finally
:26:46. > :26:50.starting to ease, so for the north coast it could be clean with better
:26:51. > :26:57.waves along the south coast are still quite messy and choppy as
:26:58. > :27:02.these winds increase. Out at sea the south`westerly winds back to wait
:27:03. > :27:06.south or southeasterly towards the end of the day, and some rain at
:27:07. > :27:13.times it at sea, visibility decreasing. The outlook, still a
:27:14. > :27:18.mixture with the weather with heavy rain tomorrow. That clears by
:27:19. > :27:22.Thursday when we're looking at drier and calmer weather, a few showers
:27:23. > :27:27.through the day but also sunshine. Thursday night into Friday could be
:27:28. > :27:34.chilly, a chance of frost in Wirral spots before more rain arrives.
:27:35. > :27:39.Saturday we should have some sunshine but feeling cooler. Lots of
:27:40. > :27:43.pictures of the weather on our Facebook page. We will be back at
:27:44. > :28:09.6:30pm tomorrow. Good night. A tenth of a second
:28:10. > :28:12.could be the difference
