The woman who says her world fell it from Edinburgh we | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
The woman who says her world fell apart after mouth ulcers turned out | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
to be cancer. They just keep coming back every time and it is just so | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
cruel, cancer is so cruel. She is not alone. Tonight we reveal | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
figures which showed the number of cases of mouth cancer is rising in | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
the South West. We will look at what is behind the increase and ask why | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
symptoms are being missed. Also tonight, reaction from | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Somerset, the site of the latest badger cull. Protesters say they are | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
ready for the shooters. Councils say they are struggling to provide the | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Government's new free school lunches. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
And we are live on Dartmoor for Widdicombe fair. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
A woman from Devon who had mouth ulcers and is now suffering | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
from terminal cancer has urged others to be more aware of | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
the disease amid a big rise in the number of cases in the South West. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Unhealthy lifestyles are said to be part of the reason for the increase, | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
but a leading specialist has told this programme early warning signs | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
are not being picked up because of a lack of NHS dentists. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Emma Thomasson has been investigating. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Natalie Hurley from Exmouth was pregnant with her son, Tate, | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
when she had two small mouth ulcers which would not go away. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
She insisted on getting them checked out so went | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
to see a private dentist who was then referred her to a specialist. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Days later, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of mouth cancer | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Because I'd just watched my mum die. And I didn't want to | :01:48. | :02:08. | |
die. But ` boy, oh, boy ` have you been fighting ever since. | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
It just keeps coming back every time and it is just so cruel. | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
Natalie has had a lot of her treatment here at the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
It's not known why so many more younger people are being diagnosed. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
In the past we used to blame it on the risk factors such as smoking | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
and alcohol, but nowadays there is the risk with the HPV, which is | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
the human papillomavirus, and we're probably more aware of this causing | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
cervical carcinoma in women, but this also can cause cancer | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
And what about access to dental care? | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Over the last ten years, there has been a decline in people | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
visiting the dentist, and that is to do with the difficulty of getting | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Cases of the disease are becoming far more common. | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
The latest figures showed in the South West in 2012, | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
more than 700 people were diagnosed with mouth cancer. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
That is a rise of almost 20% in three years. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
NHS England says growing numbers of people do now have access to | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
They stress the most effective ways to prevent | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
mouth cancer developing are to stop smoking and keep to the recommended | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Sadly, the cancer has spread throughout Natalie's body. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Friends and family are now fund`raising | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
for research into why she developed this form of the disease when she | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
They are also looking into the alternative therapies for her. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Anything that's not normal, that you're worried about | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
and you don't normally get, I would always just tell someone to | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
It's more than your life is worth, really. | :04:03. | :04:14. | |
So what about that claim that seeing a dentist who might spot the disease | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
is difficult on the NHS? Earlier I spoke to a professor from the | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
British dental Association. He said factors like smoking and drinking | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
were driving the increase, not late detection, and he denied finding NHS | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
dentists was tough. 30 million people last year attended the | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
dentists, 66% of the population. It isn't content to social economic | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
factors and often people who do need to go to the dentist don't put | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
dentistry at high enough up the agenda and they are the people we | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
want to target. So people are going to the dentist. You can get hold of | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
an NHS dentist quite easily but it is making sure they educate them to | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
come and be seen said that dentists can have a look inside their mouths. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
30 million is a sizeable proportion. Just this mean dentists are not | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
spotting this or not trained to spotting this? It is down to | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
lifestyle. We have seen a rise here, a lifestyle of poor diet, | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
people need to be having a good diet. It is being sensible, not | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
excessive, and that is where we are seeing an increase. In certain | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
communities, people chew tobacco, and that can cause oral cancer. So | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
it is a convex picture but we are seeing a rise. We see 60,000 cases a | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
year and we have seen 1800 people die a year from oral cancer. It is | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
really important that people, if they see anything wrong in their | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
mouth, say brush their teeth, that they go to the dentist. And you are | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
confident your practitioners would spotted when they saw that also, | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
doctors or dentists? It is a picture of not just putting it but the | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
history. Someone will present and they are worried that something in | :06:03. | :06:16. | |
their mouth has not healed, that they use illumination and a little | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
mirror so we can spot those areas. We do spot them. And it is really | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
important. Of the specially trained marksmen | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
have been out shooting badgers in parts of Gloucestershire and | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
Somerset overnight. Our environment correspondent has been gauging | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
reaction. The second phase of the pilot badger | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
culls began in Somerset and Gloucestershire overnight. We have | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
no indication as to how many badgers if any have been killed, but joining | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
us now is our guest from the National Farmers' Union, a livestock | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
farmer. What you feel about what is happening? Everyone in the farming | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
community is relieved this is getting under way again and we are | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
tackling this disease. There has been a lot of debate about the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
science. Many people on the other side of the document said that | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
scientists are pretty much in agreement that you run the risk of | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
spreading this disease unless you carry out badger culls over a wide | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
area and get all of the badgers. That is not what happened last time, | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
is it? It is certainly what we would like to see happening across the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
wider country now so that we can tackle this disease which we know | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
has to be tackled if we are to make any inroads. Thank you. Now we will | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
hear from the other side of the debate, find out what they have | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
desired. Amanda, are from Somerset Against The Badger Cull, what do you | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
think? Deeply disappointed. It has been shown that the badger cull will | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
not help farmers. Castle controls will do but unfortunately they have | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
only come into play recently said they have not had time to work. `` | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
capital controls. In Wales, where they have been using the catalogue | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
restrictions for a long time, it is working. We have spoken to them and | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
they tell us they carry out a competitive strategy which has | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
approval of effects. They try to have vaccination of badgers when | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
necessary but cite a badger cull is needed where the problem is wife. | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
A court has heard how five men are alleged to have killed | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
a drug dealer and then gone on a drink and drugs binge. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Steven Crook, who was 43, was stabbed to death at his home | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
in Alphington Road in Exeter by the gang because they believed he | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Steve Webster, who's 40 and from East Street | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
in Okehampton, denies murder and robbery, together with four | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
The case at Exeter Crown Court, continues. | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
The highways agency is investigating what has gone wrong with a 1 mile | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
section of the A38 Dobwalls just after six years after it was | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
finished. It will have to be rebuilt at a cost of ?10 million because of | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
surface water causing an ice has it will have to be rebuilt at a cost of | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
?10 million because of surface water causing an ice hazard in wintry | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
conditions. It was obviously badly surveyed originally all the design | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
was wrong for what it is. But if it has got to be done, it has got to be | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
done. Two million pounds' worth of work | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
has started in North Devon to clean There were | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
concerns it could become a 'no swim' zone because | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
of doubts over water quality. South West Water will put | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
in storm water storage tanks to try and stop partially treated sewage | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
being discharged into the sea Thanks for joining us this evening. | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
Still ahead in the programme: Weeding out the problem ` | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
can a fungus help control this And we have had a fabulous day here | :09:39. | :09:55. | |
at Three Fair. Join us later in the programme to find out all about it. | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
First talked about in the 1940s, this term, all infant school pupils | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
But despite the long history, it's not proving easy. | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
Local authorities, who say they're struggling to | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
balance the books, claim they've had to top up funds from central | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
In Cornwall, the council says it's faced a shortfall | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Devon County Council says it had to find an extra ?275,000. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Tamsin Melville reports from one dining hall in Cornwall. | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
It is beefburgers and vegetables on the menu today for these pupils at | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
Dobwalls Primary near Liskeard. And it has all been cooked in a gleaming | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
new kitchen, put in as part of a ?1.4 million project to bring | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
Cornwall's state primary school kitchens up to scratch so they can | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
meet the expected demand following the Government's new policy to | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
provide free school meals for seven`year olds and under. The | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
caterers did not have the capacity to carry on doing as many schools as | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
they did come up with the new rules. It is nice to have our own kitchen. | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
All the food is really nice. The worker is cooked at. Dobwalls is one | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
of two new primary schools with a completely new kitchen. A further | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
ten more schools across Cornwall have needed some better equipment or | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
better kitchens. The council says it has had to find half ?1 million. It | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
is a good policy. But what I urged the Government to do and what I hope | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
they will listen to is if they are going to roll this out further, cost | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
it properly and fund it properly because local authorities cannot | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
pick up the tab to put new kitchens in our schools because we are under | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
huge financial pressures as it is. The Government says it has given | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
Cornwall Council adequate funding for this project and says the policy | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
itself will save parents up to ?400 a year as well as helping children | :12:07. | :12:18. | |
like these do better at school. More political and economic power | :12:19. | :12:19. | |
must now be That's the demand from MPs today, | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
as it becomes clear Scotland will gain significant new powers even | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
if it votes to stay In a moment, I'll be talking to | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
Professor Peter Gripaios, but first, | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
our political editor, Martyn Oates, yes, the Scottish flag flying from | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
number ten Downing St this evening. The Prime Minister and the leader of | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
the two big parties have made a decision to head off to Scotland. I | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
caught up with one of our MPs who his just back from a two`day stint | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
North of the border. He says what he has seen there has exciting | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
implications for a power shift where we live as well. There is a real | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
democratic awakening and dissatisfaction with the way this | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
place works. Its inefficiency and it's an accountability, and we are | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
far too centralised as a country. What we end up with will be far more | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
radical and far reaching, I hope, that any others can only. The last | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
Labour Government, which Ben Bradshaw was a member of, was it | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
very much in favour of devolved power in England. I do not think | :13:30. | :13:42. | |
there is a case for devolution within England. We have tried | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
advancing towards more regional Government in the past and I do not | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
think it is terribly successful. A strong Government at Westminster and | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
stronger authorities is the right path for England. But England versus | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
the rest of the United Kingdom, that does need rebalancing and in the | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
next few months we will see that conversation ready to take off. | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Liberal Democrats like the idea of a Cornish assembly. Here is the Lib | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
Dem MP for St Ives. I think that the devolution G is out of the bottle | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
and that means that South of the border, North of the bottle, we | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
talking about getting rid of centralisation. I think that places | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
like Cornwall and other places who have reasonable aspirations for Ruth | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
`` reasonable devolution should be given every encouragement at this | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
stage. I think everyone will agree that the devolution question is out | :14:43. | :14:43. | |
of the bottle. Thank you, Martyn. Well, those were | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
the opinions in Westminster today. Here in the | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
South West, Raymond Ravenscroft from Exeter says he, along with | :14:50. | :14:50. | |
many other people, are concerned about the impact the vote is having | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
on pensions and investments. Most people who are retired have | :14:54. | :15:05. | |
some sort of bits and pieces somewhere in a financial institution | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
or a bank or something that has Scottish roots or is based in | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
Scotland. I certainly have. Yesterday, there was a bit of a | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
wobble and I got almost quite alarmed at one point, but having | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
thought about it, I thought, well, I am sure they will sort it all out in | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
time. So, Peter Gripaios, is he right? Yes, with a little bit of a | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
fall this week, market uncertainty could get a bit worse if Scotland | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
goes for independence next week. That is one definite factor. Pension | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
and communities will be affected for a lot of people in South West. Also, | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
it will be Scotland's oil rather than the rest of the UK's oil and | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
the balance of payment will mean that the pound will likely fall. | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
There will be negative tax on import prices and it will cost you a lot | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
more to go on a holiday abroad. So you think tourism could be affected. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
That could benefit us here in the South. Yes, and if you have a more | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
competitive pound a lot more people from abroad are likely to come here. | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
The other very positive point is that you are likely to see, if there | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
is a bit for independence, a lot of private sector and public sector | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
jobs will be relocated from Scotland. There is no reason why the | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
South West wouldn't get some of those. Are there any other benefits? | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
The Trident one is obvious that there are many other benefits so it | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
is not all doom and gloom. Over time, England will not lose | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
significantly for a vote for independence by Scotland. In fact, | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
one of the benefits will be that we will be subsidised in the way we | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
have for the last 30 or 40 years. The chief negative for us in the | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
South West? The uncertainty and the fact there will be an impact. We do | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
not know how long`lasting but there will certainly be an impact on | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
annuities, pension, through the stock market and prices going up | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
because the pound will be worth less than it is now. Thank you. | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
There is competitive coverage of all of the recommended if shoes on the | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
BBC News website. `` the referendum issues. | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
River banks, railways and roadsides sometimes find themselves subject to | :17:44. | :17:44. | |
an invasion. The enemy ` ten feet tall | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
and capable of advancing at pace. But now scientists are going | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
into combat with Himalayan balsam, which costs hundreds | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
of thousands of pounds to remove. Trials are being carried out | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
in Cornwall to control the weed, which, as Scott BIngham | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
reports, is far from weedy. Countryside ranger Gareth has been | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
battling against Himalayan balsam at this nature reserve in Bude | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
for six years. In the last couple of years, | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
it's been taking over, stifling the native reedbeds and | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
the wildlife that lives in them. Is it fair to say you were | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
fighting a losing battle? This year, we realised that once it | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
spread to the other side of the reedbeds, we were going to have | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
problems, and then, luckily, the EA got in touch with me and asked if it | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
was a good site for the trial. The plant was originally introduced | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
in the UK in the 19th century. Its exploding pods can scatter seeds | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
more than seven metres, so it spreads fast, wreaking havoc | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
on the sensitive local habitat. It will effectively, | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
from a conservation point of view and an interest point | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
of view, be very destructive. A lot of the birds will not be | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
able to feed or breed here. They will move away and you'll | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
end up with a wrecked habitat. The tall reedbeds | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
on this side are flourishing. You can just make out some | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
of the Himalayan balsam taking hold Now, though, scientists are fighting | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
back by using one We have been over to the Indian and | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
Pakistani Himalayas numerous times and what it has come to now, we have | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
whittled it down to one rust fungus, which we have fully tested to make | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
sure it's safe to be released in the UK, and now, after ministerial | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
approval, we are releasing the rust This site at Saint Austell is one | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
of the four trial areas. These balsam plans are already | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
infected with the rust fungus. `` plants. The hope is that come | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
spring, the spores will spread, If successful, the trials will be | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
rolled out across the country. What does the Widecombe Fair no | :19:43. | :19:55. | |
about the weather that we don't? Because it doesn't take place | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
until September, and yet for the last few years at least, | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
it's been basking in the sunshine. Yes, the forecast couldn't have | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
been better for singing Devon's Janine Jansen has been with | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
Uncle Tom Cobley and all today. We have had such a good day here. It | :20:14. | :20:29. | |
used to be for farmers to sell their animals. Now they bring them to show | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
them off and have them judged, and it is a fun day out for everyone. | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
People of Widecombe and visitors to this marvellous Widecombe Fair. | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
Every year on the second Tuesday in September, the village of Widecombe | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
comes alive. CHEERING | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
And Widecombe Fair would not be the same without Uncle Tom Cobley. Uncle | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
Tom Cobley is part of the songs. Nobody seems to have come up with | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
anything definite but there is a song that we think is probably the | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
one. The weather was perfect and the animals certainly no how to keep | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
cool. My cameraman wants to see me fall off. Let's see how long it | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
takes! Time, now, to be serious, and the dog the judge would most like to | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
take home is... The Westie. She has a beautiful shiny coat. She is | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
really happy and everything about her is on good form. I would take | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
her home to cuddle. Uncle Tom Cobley is well on the way, the race. The | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
leaders are coming in now. Who is going to win? It was congratulations | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
to Peter. And look at this fabulous wooden model of Uncle Tom Cobley's | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
horse. It was found in an attic in pieces and put back together and now | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
it comes out once a year for Widecombe Fair. As you can see, the | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
Gymkhana is still going on behind me and in the other arena there are | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
other games and sports. There is music all night. This year has been | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
fabulous for the weather. One question, though, hopefully David | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
can tell us, are we to have an Indian summer? | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
It good question. It depends on the date, doesn't it, an Indian summer? | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
We do not normally call it an Indian summer unless this sort of weather | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
happens in October and November. We need to watch what Justin does | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
because he takes his holidays when the weather is fine every single | :23:07. | :23:07. | |
time. It has been a glorious day for | :23:08. | :23:17. | |
lovers across the South West. The highest temperature was 22, in North | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
Devon again today. A chilly night still tomorrow and a breeze | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
developing from tomorrow onwards. It means we will probably not see quite | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
such a high temperature along the South coast, but a lot of fine and | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
dry weather continuing towards the weekend. Where has all the rain | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
gone? It is down here, off Spain and Portugal. This swirl of cloud is an | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
area of low pressure. It is helping us keep the fine weather because it | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
is pretty much stationary. It does not move very far. This is the | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
middle of the day on Thursday and Friday. Wet and windy weather for | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
Spain and Portugal. We keep hold of the drier weather but there is a | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
squeeze in the isobars so more of a breeze developing tomorrow and | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
Thursday. There is the satellite picture from today. Not everywhere | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
in the UK has had a good day. More cloud and rain in the East but for | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
us, gloriously sunny. And tonight 's Spotlight has been airborne. We have | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
been up with the Royal Navy catching eclipse of the blue sky. There is | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
some poor visibility if you are flying through the layer of haze but | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
beneath it, it is blue skies and as you'll see use. `` blue seas. This | :24:34. | :24:44. | |
fine weather is continue to lead continuing `` this fine weather is | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
continuing. Overnight, it is very similar to what we saw last night. | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
Chilly again. A few mist patches may fall by dawn tomorrow morning but | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
not many of those. Slightly more of a breeze to stir the air. Night time | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
temperatures for most of us in the towns and cities in 11 or 12 degrees | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
but in the countryside it will get back down into single figures. | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
Between seven and ten by dawn tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is a | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
lovely day. Misty in places. The breeze will fashion. Quite a lively | :25:16. | :25:24. | |
wind developing down towards the Lizard and the Isles of Scilly and | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
here perhaps it will not be quite so warm tomorrow. The highest average | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
will be on the North coast of Devon. Possibly 22. | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
The breeziness in the Isles of Scilly will halt the temperature | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
down. The one thing that has been | :25:45. | :25:56. | |
disappointing has been the weather for surfers. But other coastal | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
communities are enjoying some settled conditions around the | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
coasts, particularly those who had out on kayaks or canoes. It has been | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
pretty good for them with the small ways. The best for the surfers has | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
been two feet. Most beaches one foot less than that. | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
Very quickly, tonight is the super moon. Moon rises up at about 8pm. | :26:23. | :26:32. | |
The moon just looks a bit closer than it is normally so we should get | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
a good view of the men from about 8pm if you look East. The moon | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
rising is when it seems to be its largest. It was the week and, more | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
cloud on Thursday, particularly along the South coast. That cloud | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
will come and go. `` more cloud this week. As we head into the weekend, I | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
know the sunshine appears to disappear and there is more cloud | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
around but it will not stop it being fine and dry with similar | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
temperatures of 19 or 20 degrees. Perhaps warmer during the night time | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
because there is a blanket of cloud. Good night. | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
A reminder of the main news here in the South West: A mother from Devon | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
who has mouth cancer has urged others to be more aware of the | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
disease as the number of is rising. And specially trained marksmen have | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
been out shooting badgers imports of Somerset and Gloucestershire | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
overnight. We will keep you updated. Here my | :27:35. | :27:43. | |
