with the latest news at 10.10. Now Good afternoon. Figures obt`ined by

the BBC reveal hundreds of social housing tenants in Devon and

Cornwall are to get a refund from the so`called "bedroom tax". It s

thought it'll apply to up to 80 households as a result of a

'technical error' in the legislation. The average rebate is

?610. The government has now closed the loophole and says the rdmoval of

the spare room subsidy is a necessary reform to return fairness

to Housing Benefit. Fishermen who've been forced to keep

their boats tied up during storms are to get help with quotas. Many

have lost a large number of days at sea since the New Year. The Marine

Management Organisation has now agreed to smaller vessels bding able

to roll over any unused quota to the months ahead.

There's a warning that vill`ge greens could be under threat

following a test case in Dorset A property company successfully argued

that one in Weymouth should no longer be protected. Betterlent

Properties says people can continue to use the space until it's required

for "other purposes". If you want to take the famhly out

to play on the village green, you need a village green to plax on and

that is what people here thought they had and that it was enshrined

in law, but in a long legal battle, a property company which owns the

screen found fault anyway it was registered and had its protdcted

status lifted. We just thought it would be forever that we cotld bring

our dogs and children. The `rgument came down to whether it was fair for

the company to change the registration. Judges found hn favour

of the company and these fidlds cannot be removed from the protected

list. They will be looking for pieces of land that are village

greens and asking if they c`n leave `` lift that registration. Hs it

worth it to try to lift it, all of the court costs, but the benefits to

them would be huge. No`one knows yet here if past enjoyment will continue

into the future. But many hope it will.

Onto sport now, and in todax's football, Yeovil Town are hoping to

blue skies out there today, but will it carry on? Here is the we`ther.

Hello. After all of the fin`nce I weather today, we are going to keep

the mostly clear skies throtgh the night. Always the exception to the

far West and the Isles of Scilly and perhaps Western Cornwall. Clearer

skies through the night. Thd chance of a few mist patches, but not too

cold tonight. Tomorrow, we're going to have plenty of sunshine with us

through the morning. Always out to the Far West seeing a touch more

loud and a little more cloud arriving through the day. Could feel

a touch warmer, with highs of around 15 degrees. On Monday, more cloud

with us and possibly a few spots of rain. And that is all for now. We

will be back tomorrow with `n update at 6:20am. From all of us hdre, have

a great evening. Goodbye. Most of us have enjoyed a fine and

dry start to the weekend. But all of us had the sunshine and a range of

cloud conditions across the UK. There was a lot of cloud across

Northern Ireland and Scotland to start the day. Some of it has

remained through parts of the Midlands and northern England, so

just hazy sunshine here. Temperatures in Glasgow are normal

for the time of year. The winds are very just the for the Six Nations

match. -- they are very dusty. Some patchy drizzle to the west of Wales.

For the rest of England and Wales, mainly clear skies, but a patchy fog

towards the south-west later overnight. Temperatures hold
