know if it's going to work xet. Firefighters battle a large blaze at | :00:42. | :00:46. | |

flooding in Somerset were told today that ?20 million will be spdnt to | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
reduce the risk of it happening again. Somerset County Council has | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
promised the work will prevdnt people being forced out of their | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
homes and some of the high priority schemes could be completed before | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
the end of the year. The proposals include spending ?1 million to raise | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
the road near Muchelney to stop the village being cut off by floodwater. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Spotlight's Somerset correspondent Clinton Rogers is on the levels | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
tonight. There is a feeling of cautious | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
optimism on the Somerset Levels tonight. The County Council are keen | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
to present this as a major step forward in the fight against | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
flooding. But you will forghve people living here from thinking, we | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
will wait to see if these projects actually works before we get too | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
excited. After months of misery, sprhng | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
sunshine is rather welcome hn Somerset. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
It is fitting that we are hdre this morning... | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
But not as welcome as this morning's announcement on flood | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
prevention. ?20 million is promised. For this shattered, battered | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
community, they just hope it works. Let's cross our fingers and hope. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
The worst ever flooding. No one wants to see a repeat of | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
this. The County Council is spending ?4 million here in proving `n | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
artificial drainage channel. It was built in the early 1970s, btt was | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
overwhelmed by this year's floods. One of the problems this ye`r was | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
that the road behind me actdd as a dam, trapping water. | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
They plan to raise the level of the road, and increase the size of the | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
covered from the water flows a lot quicker. They say that. Flooding in | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
the village. It's also good news for the village of Muchelney. It was | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
marooned for months. Every road was underwater. Now, ?1 million is to be | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
spent raising the level of one of those roads so the villagers want be | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
completely cut off again. Hopefully. This are you happy today? | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
Content. Why not happy? I'll be happy when it works. | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
I don't control the elements, but I do control a significant amount of | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
money to reduce the flooding. The council says the two mahn | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
schemes will be completed bx the end of this year. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
That's about the time it will take to dry out the houses and gdt people | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
back into their homes. Tonight, there is some crithcism of | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
the ?20 million announced today ?12 million of that is for road repairs | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
and renovations. Critics ask how is that flood prevention? | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
The government grants they have been given is actually ring fencdd. It | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
has to be spent on roads. They say they know there is still flood | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
prevention work to be done, and they will be is pushing the government is | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
to get more money. Fire investigators are waithng to | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
get inside a Devon pub which has been gutted in a major fire. Up to | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
70 fire fighters were called to the Twyford Inn in Tiverton earlier | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
today. At one stage, the smoke could be seen from the North Devon link | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
road. Spotlight's Leigh Rundle reports. Fire investigators are no | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
closer to establishing the cause of this blaze which broke out `round | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
10am this morning. It shockdd passers`by. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
It looks like an explosion. It was really loud and it shook | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
everything. The floor was covered in black. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
A quick response from the town's firefighters has been praisdd for | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
preventing it spreading to `djacent properties. | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
There was panic of the winds changing and coming up this way We | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
were all evacuated from the building. `` we thought we would all | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
be evacuated. But it has all died down now. | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
By mid afternoon, a team of 70 firefighters had wrought thd blaze | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
under control. There has been quite a bit of damage | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
to the building behind me. We have been reluctance to commit otr cruise | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
for fear of possible traps. We have had to take our time to stop the | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
fire from spreading. Concerns about asbestos | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
contamination further hampered efforts to establish the catse of | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
this fire. But the investig`tion is ongoing. | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
At some point, we will regroup and try and ascertain which is lost | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
likely dash either accident`l or deliberate. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
A crew will remain here overnight to monitor the situation. The | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
firefighting operation has been conducted largely from outshde. | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Tomorrow, holding inspectors will determine whether it is safd to | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
enter the building. If not, it may have to be pulled down. | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
The Police say the body of ` man, which was found in a water`filled | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
clay pit near St Austell, m`y have been there for sometime. Thd body | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
was found in Trelavour Pit `t St Dennis at the weekend. An | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
investigation is under way. Officers are treating the death as | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
unexplained and are waiting for the results of a postmortem exalination. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
A man's been injured after falling from a ladder whilst working on a | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
submarine in Devonport Dockxard in Plymouth.The company which runs the | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
yard, Babcock, said the employee was taken to hospital following the | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
accident on HMS Vengeance. @n investigation has been launched | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
The number of reported hate crimes across Cornwall and Devon h`s gone | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
up by nearly ten % in the l`st year, according to the latest figtres from | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Devon and Cornwall Police. Officers believe many more cases are going | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
unreported and one transgender woman has told Spotlight she's subjected | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
to hate crime every day. Denis Nightingale reports. | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
Suffering hate crime on an `lmost daily basis, transgendered busker | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Soizig says recently a man passed her in the road and started | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
laughing. A few minutes later, he rettrned. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
He shouted, I wasn't laughing at you! Well, why are you coming back | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
at me? He said you are paranoid. Hd was | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
just screaming at me. That was actually quite aggressive and was | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
right in my face. He was thdre. He had his face right in my face and he | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
was shouting. In the 12 months to Februarx this | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
year, police say the number of reported hate crimes across Cornwall | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
and Devon went up to 1254. In relation to hate crime, we are | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
fully aware that there is significant under`reporting. All of | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
the anecdotal evidence that we hear from people is that reports made to | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
the police are only the tip of the iceberg. Year` on`year, we see | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
around about a ten % increase in those reports. We take that as an | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
indication of improved confhdence of the people to report to the police. | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
My name is Deya. For years, Deya's been battling | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
racism by visiting Cornish schools. Sometimes, she says that parents | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
don't allow their children to be taught by her. | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
I think parents think that H'm trying to maybe convert the children | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
into a different religion, or maybe talk more about the religion than | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
anything else. But that's absolutely not the case. My aim is for the | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
children to learn. There ard some parents but it's a very, very small | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
minority. Whatever the reaction of th`t | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
minority, Daya says she will continue her efforts to introduce | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
Cornish schoolchildren to Indian culture. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
?80,000 worth of urgent rep`ir work is needed on the South West Coast | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Path in Devon. Storm damage has severely eroded the path from | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Dartmouth to Bantham in the South Hams. The South West Coast Path | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Association has now launched a fundraising appeal. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
A public meeting in Exeter tonight will debate whether the citx should | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
have a new theatre ` similar in size to Plymouth's Theatre Royal. The | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
city already has several venues with the Northcott the biggdst. The | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
group behind the meeting saxs a bigger theatre would boost Dxeter's | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
economy. A man who's claimed to have carried | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
out a five year campaign of stalking has denied trying to murder his | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
alleged victim by stabbing her in the neck with a pair of scissors. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
Joe Willis has admitted gridvous bodily harm but denies attelpting to | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
murder Helen Pearson on the streets of Exeter last year. | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
Our home affairs corresponddnt Simon Hall reports from Exeter Crown | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
Court. This trial is now drawing towards | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
its conclusion. On Friday, Joe Willis took to the witness baulks to | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
tell the jury his side of the story. Today, it's been the prosecttion's | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
opportunity to challenge his account. And they certainly have. | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
The prosecution say he carrhed out a five`year campaign of stalkhng which | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
culminated in him lying in wait and attempting to murder Helen Pearson. | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
Today, he denied stalking hdr by sending abusive letters, attacking | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
her flat and even leading a dead cat on her doorstep. He said it was her | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
who was carrying the scissors and attacked him. Asked by the | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
prosecution barrister, wherd you stalking Helen? | :11:20. | :11:38. | |
Joe Willis admits attacking Helen just outside Exeter city centre in | :11:39. | :11:58. | |
October of last year. He denies attempted murder. The court has now | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
adjourned for today. The case will resume tomorrow morning, whdn the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
jury are expected to retire to consider their verdict. | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
There's still plenty to comd on Spotlight tonight: Rescued from the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
brink ` one year on we'll fhnd out what has happened to Axminster | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
Carpets. And how much did they raise? | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
The lifeboat crew who cycled round Britain to pay for a new bo`t. | :12:27. | :12:40. | |
Controversial plans for the Atlantic Array wind farm off North Ddvon may | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
well have been shelved but `lmost two hundred wind turbines ARE | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
planned for the sea off Dorset. Once again it's a scheme which phts the | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
economy against the environlent with hundreds of jobs likelx to be | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
created. From Portland, Spotlight's environment correspondent Adrian | :12:54. | :12:54. | |
Campbell reports. Portland Harbour says it's well | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
placed to benefit from the ?3.5 billion wind farm being planned off | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
the coast of Dorset. The wind farm would be situated between Portland | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
and the Isle of Wight. If it passes all the necessary planning hurdles, | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
it's set to have just under 200 turbines which the developers say | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
will power more than 700,000 homes. Portland Port says it has mtch to | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
gain. We will see vessels such as this, | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
and larger, coming in and ott, taking the assembled wind ttrbines | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
out offshore ` that will last three to five years. Beyond that, you have | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
the long`term operational and maintenance support of the site | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
It may be well situated to take advantage of any business | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
opportunities from the creation of a wind farm between here and the Isle | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
of Wight, but what about thd impact on the environment? | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
Environmentalists have concdrns about the possible impact on birds | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
from all of those turbines. The key to this is the environmental | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
impact assessment. We're re`lly hoping that we will have enough time | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
to be able to go through wh`t would be a very thick document, and look | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
at it in detail because, at the moment, it's hard to judge whether | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
this is going to be a good project or a bad project for the | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
environment. A large wind farm off Dorset does | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
offer some economic benefits to the county, but environmental | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
campaigners say any planning decision shouldn't be rushed, as | :14:14. | :14:23. | |
there is too much at stake. The brother of Alan Jeal, whose body | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
was found on Perranporth be`ch in February, is appealing to the public | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
for information. The body w`s found unclothed except for one walking | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
shoe. A sock was found in hhs mouth. Derek Jeal, who is Alan Jeal's | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
younger brother, was unavailable for a BBC interview and was recorded by | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
the police. The uncertainties are stopphng us | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
from pulling a closure to things. We can't lay Alan to rest. We can't lay | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
our thoughts to rest without knowing what has happened. We need to get | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
rid of this uncertainty and have some answers. | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
A new doctor`led minor injuries unit is to open in Tiverton in Jtly. The | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
contract to run the unit at Tiverton and District Hospital has bden | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
awarded to South Western Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust. It'll be open | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
14 hours a day. Axminster Carpets is back in profit | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
a year after being rescued from administration. | :15:27. | :15:27. | |
Hundreds of workers lost thdir jobs in March last year, but a month | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
later it was bought by an entrepreneur from Somerset. One year | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
on, more staff are being employed, new products are being made and | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
Axminster Carpets has its Royal Warrant back. Spotlight's Andrea | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
Ormsby has the story. 250 years of carpet making. So | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
nearly lost. A year on, it's all changed. | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
It's totally transformation`l. We have gone from 100 people elployed, | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
when we first started, to now over 160 people. Our sales have doubled, | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
we have now hit ?12 million of turnover in our first year, and I | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
can say that we have made a modest profit. It has been really fantastic | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
in a year when so much has had to be rebuilt and restructured. Wd are | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
really proud of what people have done. | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
The Axminster Carpet showroom ` a year on and it couldn't look more | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
different. Trying to use these room sets, so | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
that people can really see what the carpet will look like in thd sort of | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
application that they will have That is why we will have a whole | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
series of them showing diffdrent styles. You can really see what it's | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
going to look like, and it takes the risk out of that decision`m`king for | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
the customer. Axminster Carpets will alwaxs be | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
rooted in the traditional c`rpet, but now there is a move to | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
modernise. This is a new concept for us. Not | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
only can we make these carpdts,we can put these colour featurds in so | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
it makes a wonderful runner up a staircase, and then we can tse | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
various types of edging to create a complement that goes with your wall | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
colourings or your wallpaper coverings, as we have done here We | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
can do this in a whole varidty of ways, which makes an almost bespoke | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
offering for our customers. It's really really exciting. We ve | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
repainted, got a new carpet. Finally, we've got these lovely room | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
sets that people can come in, and it's been very well received by | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
customers. Back in the factory, and more people | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
are getting their old jobs back March fifth at 2pm, I found out I'd | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
been made redundant, along with 200 other people. A dreadful dax. And | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
then it was just an onward thing, looking for employment all the time, | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
finding bits and pieces but nothing permanent. Nothing like this that | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
I'm used to doing. And here I am a year on, back again and happy to be | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
here. Today, Axminster Carpets is into new | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
markets, new products and ndw people. A company once again | :18:02. | :18:12. | |
confident of the future. Time for the sport now and `ll four | :18:13. | :18:16. | |

Championship club remains bleak even though they've moved off the | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
bottom of the table. They'rd five points away from the clear `fter a | :18:27. | :18:30. | |

Onto League Two and Plymouth Argyle's play`off ambitions have | :18:43. | :18:45. | |

weekend's results. Plymouth Argyle, I think, for me, | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
will get in the opportunity and actually get in the play`off | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
position. I was disappointed that they obviously lost, but thdre are | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
four games left ` a great opportunity for them to still do it. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
There are a lot of permutathons that can happen with the four gales that | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
we've got. Now the two goals they've conceded | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
at Home Park in Oxford, how could they have been prevented? | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
By cutting out obviously thd silly free kicks given out for thd first | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
goal, but also defending better here. Going across the baulks, | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
someone's got to stick their head on it and clear it away. You stop the | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
volley going across the baulks, you stop the goal. But the second goal | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
was so disappointing ` you don't drop off at the end. One of the lads | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
have got to go out and closd it down, but then you've got to stop | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
Constable shooting because he knows he can finish. He's one of the top | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
scorers. And it didn't help matters having | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
Maxine Blanchard sent off for a second caution. He misses the next | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
few games. Moving to St James Park, Exdter City | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
have been dragged into that danger area. How serious is it for Exeter | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
now? It was a disappointing game. It | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
didn't flow. It was uncomfortable. Jordan Moore Taylor gets a great | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
finish. He capped off a gre`t game. He was fantastic all day. Btt the | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
shameless defending at the dnd of it was disappointing as well. When the | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
actual ball is bouncing abott, one of the defenders has now got to go | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
and stop the ball. Stop the shot, and then clear the ball. Thdy don't | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
do that and they concede and end up equalising. That goal was rdally | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
important, because now they are in the mix. | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
They are only two points above the bottom two relegation places, one of | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
which is occupied by Torquax United. Is it too little too late after | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
their win at Bristol Rovers? For me, yes. It's disappointing | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
Coulthirst scores a fantasthc goal. Shaquile Coulthirst, on loan from | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
Tottenham. He ends up getting a great shot off to Mansell. He gets | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
his shot off, and hopefully a stroke of luck, he gets a second goal. But | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
I think it's a bit too little too late. | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
Hopefully, they go down in ` blaze of glory. | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
That's going to be a massivd game on Easter Monday, Exeter versus | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
Torquay. Can wait! Exeter Chiefs occupy seventh spot in | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
rugby's Premiership ` a place which could see them contest the play`off | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
for entry to next season's new`look European Cup. | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
Their 38`33 win at bottom club Worcester Warriors was only Exeter's | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
second league victory of thd year. Hooker Jack Yeandle went ovdr twice | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
as the Chiefs outscored Worcester by five tries to four. Dave Lewis, Sam | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Hill and Gareth Steenson also scored to open up a 21`3 advantage at one | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
point. Somerset's County Championship | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
cricket opener against Yorkshire at Taunton is producing a feast of | :21:35. | :21:44. | |
runs. Last years runners`up posted a total | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
of 450 earlier today, with Somerset xxx for x in reply. North Ddvon s | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
Craig Overton took three wickets in Yorkshire's first innings. | :21:51. | :22:02. | |
`` 166 for three. A new diving academy, bearing the | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
name of Plymouth's Tom Dalex, hopes to unearth more top divers. The Tom | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
Daley Diving Academy will bd mainly based at his new headquarters in | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
London, but courses will also run up and down the country. The | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
19`year`old is currently tr`ining for the Diving World Series event. | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
Finally, don't forget Late Kick Off tonight at 11.30pm when thex feature | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
Torquay United at Bristol Rovers and Gordon Sparks' 30 years as ` | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
commentator for Plymouth Argyle That's on BBC One. | :22:25. | :22:53. | |
U2 are naughty this evening `` you two. | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
Members of Sidmouth's lifeboat crew have completed their cycle tour of | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
the British coastline raising money for a new back`up boat for the town. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
The town's lifeboat has been independently funded since the RNLI | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
pulled out of the station in the 1920's. The crew has visited other | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
independent lifeboat stations around the country as part of a fund | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
raising challenge. Emma Rumhnski reports. | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
Returning home after 2,500 liles in the saddle. Three members of the | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
Sidmouth Lifeboats cycled into town after their marathon fundrahsing | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
effort. Really proud of what the guxs have | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
done. And the money we've r`ised for the boat. It's been excellent. | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Lifeboat crews all over the world have to show qualities of courage, | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
persistence, duty... They hardly sound like slobs. But | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
that's the name they chose for themselves, shorthand for Shdmouth | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
Lifeboat On Bikes. They've spent the last two weeks cycling around the UK | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
visiting other independent lifeboat stations around the country. The aim | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
was to raise money to pay for a new support boat back home. | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
Well, basically, this is our main boat here. It's difficult to get | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
enough time for all the trahnees on this boat. So, what we decided to do | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
is to buy a new boat... Which could be used for the training. | :24:08. | :24:17. | |
The local residents here in Sidmouth have had a long association with the | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
lifeboat. They stepped in to fund it when in 1912 the RNLI pulled out. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
They're responsible for the area between Axmouth and Budleigh | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
Salterton about 30 shouts a year. BBC Radio Devon's Judi Spiers | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
awarded the cyclist their wdll earned medals. A cheque was also | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
presented from a local bequdst which will take the total raised to around | :24:36. | :24:51. | |
?15,000.``` ?15,000. Weather`wise it's been a grdat day | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
today with unbroken sunshind across much of the region These pictures of | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
the Grand Western Canal Tivdrton today were shot by our cameraman | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Alec Collyer. Great weather for the wildlife there and for thosd out | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
enjoying the sunshine too. So what of tonight and tomorrow's wdather? | :25:05. | :25:05. | |
Well Ian Ferguson has the ddtails. Hello, good evening. A pattdrn of | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
high pressure dominating thd pattern out for a few days to come. A good | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
deal of dry, settled and fine weather. Just subtleties re`lly in | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
terms of the changes of wind direction, and the amount of cloud | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
that may come and go. This dvening and tonight, we got clear skies all | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
the way. A recipe for a chilly night with a touch of Frost. Tomorrow the | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
flow will start coming from the south to south`east. The sotth coast | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
was the slightly depressed temperatures versus the northern | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
coasts who will see the hird of the temperatures. For the rest of this | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
evening and tonight, a good deal of sunshine across the board, hncluding | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
down through the Channel Islands. As we continue into the nights, we ll | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
find that some Frost contintes to form fairly widely inland. Laybe | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
some fog through the Exe Valley for example, with a little bit of missed | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
elsewhere. Broadly speaking, it s going to be clear skies by tomorrow. | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
Temperatures will have dropped down to values a good steel lower than | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
the values you are seeing there I suspect. We could be as low as two | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
or three Celsius. A touch of Frost quite likely. Tomorrow, a c`se of | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
watching how the skies develop. If we lose any of the fog and low | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
cloud, we will all be in thd same boat with a good deal of sunshine. | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
With that breeze coming in from the southern quarter, it will bd the | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
south coast that sees the temperature is just that little bit | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
down compared to today. Maybe by two or three degrees. The North will | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
have the highest temperaturds, including the Channel Islands. | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
Here's how those temperaturds should settle ` around 12 degrees, getting | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
up to 15 as we head towards the northern coast of Cornwall. 13 | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
Celsius will be fairly typical across the Channel Islands. A | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
similar story as we get through to Wednesday. There will gener`lly be | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
more cloud around as we movd towards Thursday and Friday, but nonetheless | :26:41. | :26:41. | |
a good deal of dry weather. That's it from me. Goodbye. Welcome | :26:42. | :27:13. | |
to the South West if you ard on holiday at the moment. | :27:14. | :27:18. |
