Poor value for money. all options to avoid a repeat of this are ruled | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
uneconomic. Good evening. An official report says there hsn't a | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
business case for any new r`il route avoiding Dawlish. But tonight one MP | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
has told Spotlight it?s still possible | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Also tonight: The sky's the limit in Cornwall. Newquay airport could | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
become Britain's launch sitd for the first commercial flights into space. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |

their three`day tour of the region. Back to the drawing board ` the Duke | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
and Duchess of Cornwall continue And the tiny town in Somersdt set to | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
house an international art gallery. There's no economic case | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
for an additional rail line to An official report commissioned | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
after the region was cut off from the rail network in February's | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
storms, concludes that all the options considered offer poor | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
value for money. As Spotlight revealed two wdeks ago | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
the Network Rail study, published today, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
shows that none of the five options But tonight one of the region's MPs | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
says he's still confident that We'll hear from Gary Streetdr | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
in a moment. First, our Business Correspondent | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Neil Gallacher assesses Today's report discusses buhlding a | :01:32. | :01:45. | |
modern version of this, and inland alternative to the Dawlish route | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
like we used to have. It saxs it would be poor value for mondy but it | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
doesn't actually say it cannot be done. Network Rail have dond a cost | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
benefit analysis of each rotte and given each a point score. If a | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
scheme gets more than four points it is said to be good value for money, | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
if it gets only one or less, it is poor value for money. This hs just a | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
narrow, economic assessment, but the schools look rather damning. The old | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
route north of Dartmoor gets a score of 0.14. The Newton Abbey to Exeter | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
route gets a score of 0.29. And a set of five alternative new routes, | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
all of which would mean somd kind of channelling get a score between 0.08 | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
and 0.17. In Dawlish, there was some relief. Observers here take the view | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
that any alternative inland route could become the only route. It | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
seems like good news, but I don t know why they are considering it. | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
The amount of money they have spent on it, they shouldn't have to do | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
anything else. But alternathve options remain on the table. The | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Transport Secretary said thd government was committed to giving | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
the region world`class transport in infrastructure. The Prime Mhnister | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
announced ?130 million worth of improvements, but we know there is | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
more to do. Some commentators pointed out today that the proposed | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
inland routes for the region are not remotely expensive by national | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
standards. If we creep up to ?3 billion, it still relativelx modest, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
but it might come in at ?2 billion. When compared with Cross rahl at ?15 | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
billion, HS2 at ?30 billion, Boris Island airport at ?45 billion, we | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
are peanuts. This report from Network Rail would never decide the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
issue, that is the government, and it's clear there months of `rgument | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
and more detailed costings to lie ahead. We can't even be sat which go | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
on the decision will so. `` certain which government the decision will | :04:02. | :04:02. | |
fall to. We asked for an interview whth | :04:03. | :04:03. | |
the Transport Secretary, Earlier I spoke to Gary Strdeter, | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
the Conservative MP for I asked him where this leavds | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
the options for We are a significant step closer to | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
get the railway resilience we need in the south`west. This report today | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
is only part of a longer`term process and the most import`nt thing | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
coming out in September is ` 30 year look at what we need in the West | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Country and this resilience report will form part of this, so we can | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
get a plan and a budget in there and then we will have the line we | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
deserve. We are not a step closer to an additional line. If anything we | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
are a step further away frol this report. None of them offer value for | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
money. There is the cost benefit ratio applied to all governlent | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
projects and according to that, that's right, we don't scord very | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
highly, but that is not by `ny means the full extent of the storx. What | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
ministers in London will have to decide is if it is acceptable to | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
have a region of the countrx that every year or two is washed away by | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
floods and they no longer h`ve rail connectivity to the region for | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
several weeks, or even months. The answer to that must be no. Dven | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
though it doesn't provide f`ntastic value for money when you apply the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
formula, for us in the West Country and ministers in London, thhs has to | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
happen. There is a government determination to make it happen and | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
it won't happen in the next couple of years but it will happen over the | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Is there really government Is there really government | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
commitment to this? What government before an election would colmit to | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
something that offers no value for money whatsoever? There is ` great | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
deal of commitment, but bear in mind we are not talking about a decision | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
between now and Christmas, we are talking about a process over the | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
next 12 or 18 months and getting this project into the network rail | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
budget. This decision won't be made in five minutes but there's a real | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
commitment that the West Cotntry needs the line and we will campaign | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
for it like mad. Let's be frank how much politics is behind this? You | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
will not come on here tonight and say that it is out of the qtestion | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
and will never happen because there is an election in less than a year. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
There is no way you or the government would want to upset or | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
worry people in the South Wdst by ruling it out. There is a clear | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
commitment from government that it needs to happen. There's an election | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
in nine months time and there will be one a few years after th`t and we | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
will be judged by the promises of delivering on them. We are confident | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
that something like this will happen and we will get it into the 201 | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
budget. Other news now | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
and campaigners have been protesting today against plans to closd beds | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
at Torrington Hospital. The NHS wants to treat more | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
patients at home but local people No postal votes, no proxy votes .. | :06:52. | :07:12. | |
As the campaign to save `` save the beds went on, emotions were running | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
high. We work on the NHS, I am your public servant. What we do hs work | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
with the public on the NHS to get things right. The campaigners turned | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
out today at local NHS offices where a committee was considering the | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
impact of closing local hospital beds. The campaigners claim that NHS | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
bosses have been deliberate Lee running the service down during the | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
time period where the need for the beds was being assessed. Last | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
summer, Sonia's mother had ` hard problem and needed local care but | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
had to be looked after at home. They said it could not be accepthng her | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
because there was no one else to come in. They said it was not | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
shouting until September. When I queried why they said she ndeded | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
physiotherapy because she w`s not mobile and there were no | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
physiotherapists at the timd. In that time, only three peopld we know | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
of used the beds but we do now know, since then, that 100 or more | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
people could have been referred to the hospital from North Devon | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
District Hospital but weren't. The clinical commissioning group thinks | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
it can provide better care by providing it at home rather than | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
through inpatient beds. Instead it wants to use the community hospitals | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
as hubs, providing des servhces and by doing it that way it will | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
preserve the long`term future. The clinical commissioning group insists | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
no decision has been made about the future of the beds and denids claims | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
that the evaluation process has been unfair. We have set up an oversight | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
group which is the meeting being held today. It is not a public | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
meeting. It is chaired by a member of the public. Members of the public | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
are part of that meeting, jtst as we have councillors, the voluntary | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
sector, commissioners and providers. A final decision about the future of | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
the beds will be made next week Meanwhile the NHS in Devon hs | :09:07. | :09:10. | |

community hospitals will lose inpatient beds and some minor injury | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
units will close. What our people how to say about it? 270 individuals | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
and organisations have sent in responses to the proposals `nd | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
receiving a summing up of the feedback has been published online. | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
`` and this evening. A lot of people welcome staying at home for their | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
care and they welcome integrated services, but some people are | :10:07. | :10:07. | |
concerned. So if enough people say thex want to | :10:08. | :10:54. | |
keep the hospital beds will be NHS abandon the reorganisation? The NHS | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
group that buys health care for most of Devon was this year ?15 lillion | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
overspend, and year number of people in need health care, partictlarly | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
older people rises by many thousands. If the way health care is | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
delivered is delivered is not changed, we are being told that the | :11:14. | :11:14. | |
money will just run out. The government has put | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
on hold plans to privatise the Land Registry,which records all | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
property sales and employs hundreds Ministers say further consideration | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
of the plans would be valuable, The union says local | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
workers are delighted. We have won a significant b`ttle, an | :11:28. | :11:41. | |
important battle. It will ghve our members more confidence to go on and | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
fight the rest of the war, which we intend to win, not just for | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
ourselves, but also because we provide such a good service to the | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
public. Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks | :11:51. | :11:53. | |

a stand against the plans. Tenants involved | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
in yesterday's mass eviction of flats in Exeter have tod`y begun | :12:22. | :12:22. | |
their search for somewhere to live. Meanwhile | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
a complaint is being lodged with the High Court Enforcement Office about | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
the treatment of other legitimate This is footage of the enforcement | :12:31. | :12:45. | |
operation taken by a member of the public on a mobile phone. This man | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
is seen on the balcony, sayhng he was ejected from the property after | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
trying to enter his own flat, which was not included in the repossession | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
order. There were six of thdm and they forced me out, forcing me down | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
the staircase. Were you unable to get into your flat? Yes, thdy | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
blocked the way in and said I could not go anywhere. His family are very | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
angry about what has happendd. We are definitely going to write an | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
official complaint to the m`nagers of the company and we're not sure if | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
it will go further. I think it will take a lot of time, but the | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
management of the company h`s to respond. 41 tenants were evhcted | :13:26. | :13:33. | |

statement, the receivers sahd: Housing officers from the Chty | :13:39. | :13:55. | |
Council are working with thd ousted tenants to try to secure alternative | :13:56. | :13:59. | |

started to rehouse some of the people affected by these | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
circumstances and we are expecting more to come in through the day | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
Tonight a High Court enforcdment officer's Association said ht would | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
investigate any complaints `bout how the operation was handled. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
comes to mind when space flhght is mentioned, but that might bd about | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
to change. Although to be f`ir, it won't look quite | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
Newquay Airport could becomd the launch site for Britain's first | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
The countdown for the spaceport project w`s | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
The first flights could be blasting off anytime from 2018. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
It might sound far`fetched but, as Eleanor Parkinson reports, | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
Space travel for many is just a dream, but multimillionaire | :14:44. | :14:57. | |
businessman Richard Branson wants to make it a reality. He sees ` day | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
when space tourists will be able to pay for eight seat on a space plane | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
and orbit the Earth. Now thd government says it wants to build a | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
spaceport. They have short listed eight sites across the UK, `nd one | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
of them is Newquay. Newquay and Cornwall airport has one of the | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
longest runways in the country, more than two and a half kilometres long, | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
and compared to other air fdels it has relatively uncongested `irspace. | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
`` airfields. This is how an American company want to send people | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
into space. Their plane is called the Links. They are looking for | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
sites with a minimal population density and says that Newqu`y fits | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
the bill. Not many people, dasier to fly. Absolutely can see is flying | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
out of Scotland but we also like Newquay. It's a great site for a | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
horizontal take`off plane. The government is committed to spending | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
?40 billion over the next 14 years on the space industry and it could | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
be a big boost for the Cornhsh economy. We are the poorest county | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
in England and we need some better value jobs and this would obviously | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
bring with it a number of hhgh engineering jobs, high`technology | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
jobs, and that would be verx important and would also sp`wn other | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
jobs as supply chains, neardr. And as a space race goes, things have to | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
move fast, as the government wants to see a spaceport opened bx 20 8. | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
One of the region's historic piers is re`opening, | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
six months after it was serhously damaged by the winter storms. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
Hundreds of thousands of pounds have been spent | :16:34. | :16:34. | |
on Teignmouth Pier after its floor was washed away and amusement | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
For the younger and younger hard, the waiting is almost over, but | :16:41. | :16:54. | |
there is still plenty to do. Cleaning, stacking and testhng. The | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
damage of six months ago me`ns virtually every machine herd is new. | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
And they all need to be put through their paces. Luckily with a lot of | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
the new stuff there's not an awful lot of running on, you just have to | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
plug it in and play, and we hope this will be a popular addition to | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
our things. This was the legacy of the winter storm, damage to the | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
structure and the electrics and the floor. They have put in new beams | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
and new decking underneath. Then half inch plywood with screws every | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
six inches. It is as tight `s a drum, and fingers crossed, ht will | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
withstand anything the sea can throw at us now. Teignmouth Pier hs one of | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
just two left in Devon. Thex used to be more, but now they are a selling | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
point in the battle to attr`ct tourists. We haven't got many indoor | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
places. You go on the beach, then the clouds come over and yot think, | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
what shall we do? Everybody heads into the pier to get out of the wind | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
and maybe the showers, and when it's been done, back out on the beach. | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
The unofficial testers are giving the new amusements the thumbs up. A | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
contrast to last winter and spring, perhaps the darkest day in the | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
pier's 109 year history as hnsurance delays left the family that only | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
about half a century wonderhng if it would reopen. I just didn't | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
recognise the place. I've bden here since I was 12 or 13, working, and | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
to see it like that was horrendous. Some very dark moments. One useful | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
thing in the modernisation hs it will now be easier for people | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
playing here like myself to use the latest technology to count their | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
winnings. Eight so far and H can now take my ticket and going get | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
something at the price tag. I might bring something back for yot. I | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
don't think we should hold our breath. The Duke and Duchess of | :18:57. | :19:06. | |
Cornwall have been in the rdgion today. Prince Charles saw how the | :19:07. | :19:09. | |

Highness is the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall were given a tour of River | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
cottage HQ full stops you fhrmly witting stall was keen to show them | :19:30. | :19:30. | |
his cookery I have always longed to comd and | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
have a taste of what you ard doing. Hoping to inspire other would`be | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
chefs, Prince Charles left ` gift for the jam making class, a plum | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
tree from the Duchy of Cornwall nursery. Apart from anything else, I | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
wanted to give you what looks as though it is holding up the tent. | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
What makes it important for us is that everybody recognises that | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
Prince Charles is a great champion of sustainability, sustainable | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
agriculture and local Artis`n food production, and we are great | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
believers in that as well. Get in the house, Flora. Guns norm`lly make | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
the police nervous during a royal visit. But the Prince and Dtchess | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
were not fazed. This exercise at a fire training centre was designed to | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
show them how a domestic incident can require all three emergdncy | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
services working together. So what did the Prince say about thd acting | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
skills? We were working verx hard not to swear, and he was absolutely | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
right. I was very conscious not to make any bloopers. The warmdst | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
welcome of the day came frol the Plymouth School of creative arts, as | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
the children sang a song celebrating the amalgamation of the towns. It | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
has been 100 years since thdy combined. I wish I first, btt then I | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
got a bit better and I just did it. The Prince was given a tour of the | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
development, a project he hdlped inspire 12 years ago. He can lay | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
claim to have lighted the spark and to be the catalyst and to gdt people | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
thinking about it. We are indebted to him for that. While the juke was | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
in Plymouth, the Dodgers went to see the refurbished library in Dxeter. | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
She is clean to promote litdracy but also left them a doodle `` she is | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
keen. `` the Duchess. people. But that hasn't stopped two | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
leading players in the commdrcial art world choosing it as thd | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
location for their new international art gallery! Our Somerset | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
correspondent Clinton Rogers has For a decade it was a derelhct farm. | :21:42. | :21:53. | |
The giant milk pail was a nod to the past. The rather dark sculpture in | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
the old farmyard is a nod to the future. I am very, very exchted | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
about the opening of the gallery. First there was Z?rich, then London | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
and New York, now at Bruton to the list of galleries. Somerset, | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
existing the kind of work bx the kind of artist normally showing | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
places like the Tate or the Guggenheim. `` exhibiting. H believe | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
there is a contemporary art audience everywhere. Just because we are in | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
the countryside doesn't mean people are not passionate about | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
contemporary art, and this hs a place where lots of different | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
audiences can come together. This business partnership are renowned as | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
serious players in the commdrcial art world. There will be no charge | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
to visit the gallery, they will make their money by selling the works on | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
display. It does have a price, but we don't talk about that. In other | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
words, if you have do ask, xou probably can't afford it. The people | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
who run this place represents 6 internationally renowned artists, | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
and over time, all of their work will be featured here. By the way, | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
in case you think this has `ll been dumped here, it hasn't. This is an | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
exhibit. Stacked chairs. Thhs week the place has been hosting local | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
school and college heads, bdcause this is wanted to be an exhhbition | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
centre as a gallery `` educ`tion centre. What do you want thd | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
children to get out of this? We want the children to be challengdd and to | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
understand what it is, rathdr than the preconception that art hs | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
something on the wall. This is something bigger. Whether it is | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
cardboard boxes or giant pol`poms on one thing is certain, as edge of | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
town redevelopments go, it's different to a supermarket. | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
Time for a look at the weather. David is with us, standing hn front | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
of some altered humourless lytic URS. | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
I was going to ask Natalie first but you got into click. I would have | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
said even clouds. It is mainly low cloud coming in and | :24:11. | :24:19. | |
quite a change overnight. Low cloud, missed, even some drhzzle | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
arriving for tomorrow morning, so different start and a lot cloud | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
around so a bit misty and some low cloud over the hills. Sunny spells | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
will develop particularly over parts of Devon, East Devon, Somerset and | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
Dorset. It is here that we will get the sharp showers perhaps | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
developing, so quite a lot happening tomorrow. A lovely evening but | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
already low cloud is creeping into parts of West Cornwall and ht will | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
gradually moving overnight tonight. Quite a week weather system that | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
trickles in towards us. It hs lying there around the middle of the day, | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
and then it moves away a short while on Thursday. Thursday we ard between | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
weather systems so Thursday is a better chance to see some more in | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
the way of sunshine and then we are watching carefully the area of low | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
pressure off the north coast of Spain. That is the one with thunder | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
and lightning in it and the one that could move towards us overnhght on | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Thursday and into Friday and possibly with more thunderstorms in | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
the weekend as well. Let's look at the detail. For this evening and to | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
night, initially, a lot of clear skies but more cloud will arrive as | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
the night wears on. Already the cloud is in the far west Cornwall | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
but this was earlier over Exmoor and we had lovely weather with blue | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
skies and cloud. Some of thd moorland is looking a littld bit | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
dry. Farmers are very busy `t this time of year cutting the hax, trying | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
to get three or four dry daxs to get the hay gathered and tucked away. A | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
lovely day today with temperatures of 2223 degrees. Possibly even | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
warmer tomorrow, and the warmth and humidity just increases over the | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
next couple of days. Quite human overnight with the low cloud | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
appearing and for all of us, some cloud blankets become extensive by | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
dawn. Overnight temperatures are around 13 or 14, very mild further | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
west we are. 15 or 16 degreds the western part of Cornwall and | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
tomorrow we will see a few spots of light rain or drizzle and bx | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
mid`morning that has petered out and by the afternoon we get sunny spells | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
articulately across parts of Somerset and Dorset, but also hear | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
there is the risk of a sharp shower developing in the second half of the | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
day. Temperatures ranging from 7 or 18 up to 23, possibly 24 degrees | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
where we get the sunny spells developing. For the Isles of Scilly, | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
perhaps a different day with a lot of cloud around and early drizzle | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
will clear but it stays misty with low cloud throughout the dax. The | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
times of high water sees Penzance at 8:17 a.m.. For the surfers, it is | :27:02. | :27:10. | |
not massive, but it is usable and choppy on the north coast. The winds | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
are mostly westerly, force for, drizzle or fair, moderate to good | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
visibility, and the outlook is for thunderstorms to show Thursday and | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
Friday, and certainly on Saturday there will be torrential downpours | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
possible as well as thunder and lightning. Have a good evenhng. | :27:31. | :27:39. | |
You have been to a good teacher haven't you? That is all for this | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
evening. Good night. | :27:44. | :27:46. |
