Good afternoon. Stay with us

Good afternoon. Farmers in the South West h`ve hit

:00:09.:00:11.

out at a Government campaign which is urging people to cut down on the

:00:12.:00:14.

amount of full`fat cheese and milk in their diet. The Change4Lhfe

:00:15.:00:16.

initiative recommends consulers switch to products which have less

:00:17.:00:21.

saturated fat. But farmers claim this could damage an industry which

:00:22.:00:24.

has already been badly affected by the recent floods. Anna Varle

:00:25.:00:28.

reports. This is the campaign which hs

:00:29.:00:31.

causing so much controversy ` one way to cut down on saturated fat, it

:00:32.:00:34.

says, is to switch to reducdd fat cheese and skimmed milk. But this

:00:35.:00:44.

hasn't gone down well amongst farmers like Mary Quicke. M`ry's

:00:45.:00:51.

farm near Exeter makes cheddar the traditional way, and is the largest

:00:52.:00:58.

of its kind in the world. If people are saying eat less

:00:59.:01:01.

saturated fat, then that is animal products ` dairy and meat, `nd that

:01:02.:01:05.

is what this part of the world does so well. Farmers don't need any more

:01:06.:01:12.

burdens to carry out the flooding and everything else. We would like a

:01:13.:01:20.

government who is really getting behind us and saying accurate

:01:21.:01:22.

information, rather than thhs old news.

:01:23.:01:28.

Farmers are not the only onds who are unhappy with the campaign ` it's

:01:29.:01:31.

also sparked a row amongst environment and health ministers

:01:32.:01:34.

within the Tory party. The government has got to bd careful

:01:35.:01:38.

` yes, you can alert people to what they are eating, but I think we must

:01:39.:01:41.

make sure that this is a wholesome product and look at it throtghout

:01:42.:01:44.

everything that is in that cheese and milk. That's why farmers will

:01:45.:01:50.

feel let down by this. The Government says the campaign is

:01:51.:01:52.

about advising people on sm`ll changes they can make towards

:01:53.:01:56.

healthy eating. They state ht does not suggest dairy is bad for you and

:01:57.:02:00.

insists milk and cheese can be enjoyed as part of a balancdd diet.

:02:01.:02:08.

But for those farmers like Lary ` it's a message which she cl`ims will

:02:09.:02:14.

do more harm than good. And there's more on that story on

:02:15.:02:16.

the Sunday Children crossing the road hn a

:02:17.:02:21.

Devon village claim they're taking their lives in their hands when

:02:22.:02:24.

crossing the road to their bus stop. Parents are campaigning for road

:02:25.:02:27.

safety measures on a stretch of the old A38 at Wrangaton. They say

:02:28.:02:30.

they're frustrated by the obstacles preventing the installation of a

:02:31.:02:33.

traffic island. Devon Countx Council says it has to consider dem`nds from

:02:34.:02:35.

other competing schemes. It's the end of an era for `ir

:02:36.:02:39.

travel in Guernsey and Jersdy today as Flybe's Gatwick flights dnd. The

:02:40.:02:42.

airline is closing its base in the island with the loss of mord than 30

:02:43.:02:46.

jobs. Flybe has sold all its Gatwick slots, blaming rising chargds at the

:02:47.:02:49.

London airport. Easyjet will offer three flights a day when it takes

:02:50.:02:54.

over on the route tomorrow. Onto the weather now with Holly

:02:55.:03:00.

Good afternoon. After a rather cloudy start to the day, thd skies

:03:01.:03:06.

have now started to brighten nicely, and many of us should get to see

:03:07.:03:09.

some hazy sunshine through this afternoon. The Isles of Scilly, mind

:03:10.:03:13.

you ` here we will see a lot more cloud and outbreaks of rain. It s a

:03:14.:03:16.

blustery day out there, as well but feeling warm enough where you do get

:03:17.:03:19.

some shelter. Overnight, further outbreaks of rain moving eastwards,

:03:20.:03:22.

so a bit of a damp night but a mild one. Lows between ten and ehght

:03:23.:03:30.

degrees. Tomorrow starts on a bit of a grey note, with a bit of patchy

:03:31.:03:34.

rain here and there. Once again that rain is withdrawing westwards

:03:35.:03:37.

and we should get to see sole brightness behind. The Isles of

:03:38.:03:40.

Scilly and the far west of Cornwall could be a bit damp at times through

:03:41.:03:44.

the day. Thereafter, we see some heavy showers into next week, but

:03:45.:03:47.

with some warm and bright wdather at times.

:03:48.:03:51.

We'll have all today's sports results for you at 6.55pm this

:03:52.:03:55.

evening. Hope you can join ts. Until then, goodbye.

:03:56.:04:08.

Good afternoon. The clocks go forward by one hour tonight, British

:04:09.:04:14.

Summer Time begins. Hard to believe that this was the scene exactly one

:04:15.:04:18.

year ago in North Wales when we were in the grip of
