:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight... - so it's goodbye from me -

:00:00. > :00:00.Changing the way the south-west's landscape is managed -

:00:00. > :00:07.we'll reveal why some of the region's upland areas

:00:08. > :00:10.could be allowed to return to their natural state.

:00:11. > :00:12.And we'll be asking what it could mean for farmers

:00:13. > :00:15.who are currently paid to look after upland areas.

:00:16. > :00:18.Also tonight - the drug smuggler given Christmas leave

:00:19. > :00:24.This Plymouth drug dealer is now on the run -

:00:25. > :00:26.but why was Blake Donnellan, jailed for 15 years,

:00:27. > :00:31.Flying at night - we'll find out why air ambulance crews are now able

:00:32. > :00:49.Sleeping bag, couple of water butt. Mike -- couple of water bottles...

:00:50. > :00:51.And the injured military men from Devon conquering memories

:00:52. > :01:09.Vast areas of blanket bog, upland heaths and oak woods.

:01:10. > :01:17.The mixture of heath and grassland surrounding these areas make

:01:18. > :01:20.the tors and valleys important havens for rare plants and animals.

:01:21. > :01:22.The management and farming of these wilds have altered the fauna

:01:23. > :01:26.of these uplands over the centuries, but that could be about to change.

:01:27. > :01:29.Parts of Dartmoor and Exmoor could be "returned to the wild" according

:01:30. > :01:36.The 25-year plan for nature could see subsidies paid

:01:37. > :01:38.to farmers being cut, allowing the areas to return

:01:39. > :01:47.It comes at a time when all subsidies for farming could change

:01:48. > :01:50.as a result of the vote to leave the EU.

:01:51. > :01:52.Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports.

:01:53. > :01:54.The wide open uplands of the south-west are

:01:55. > :01:58.But when it comes to making a profit from this land,

:01:59. > :02:04.Some farmers have benefited from subsidies, but since the Brexit

:02:05. > :02:08.vote everything is suddenly up for debate.

:02:09. > :02:10.However, it shouldn't be forgotten that the uplands provide

:02:11. > :02:14.us with some important and often hidden benefits.

:02:15. > :02:17.This is sphagnum moss found here on the edge of Exmoor.

:02:18. > :02:20.It is really useful to all of us, because it attracts moisture

:02:21. > :02:26.Once upon a time nobody put a price tag on this kind of thing,

:02:27. > :02:36.Farmers and environmental groups such as the RSPB have worked closely

:02:37. > :02:39.to protect this part of Exmoor over years, but they know

:02:40. > :02:46.Robin Milton is an upland farmer and the vice-chairman

:02:47. > :02:51.Let's remember it is a living, working landscape.

:02:52. > :02:54.I think it would be very, very poor of us to consider actually

:02:55. > :02:57.any forms of what could be construed as land abandonment.

:02:58. > :03:00.I'm not entirely sure that would deliver what we expect.

:03:01. > :03:03.But abandonment and re-wilding of the uplands may be on the agenda

:03:04. > :03:06.as the Government considers how to manage our countryside

:03:07. > :03:10.One option could be to plant more trees.

:03:11. > :03:13.Wildlife organisations say the Government needs

:03:14. > :03:18.The uplands should be the most favoured areas

:03:19. > :03:20.for government investment, cos they deliver so much more

:03:21. > :03:25.Flood protection, nature, all the incredible acts so that

:03:26. > :03:28.people can spend their leisure time out here.

:03:29. > :03:32.In a way they should be the favoured areas for farming investment.

:03:33. > :03:34.We contacted Defra and asked them about their plans

:03:35. > :03:39.They told us they couldn't say farming will continue as before.

:03:40. > :03:42.That's because they've just started work on a 25-year plan

:03:43. > :03:48.which they aim to publish at the end of the year.

:03:49. > :03:51.Well, today the Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom pledged

:03:52. > :03:54.that the number of rules farmers have to follow will be cut once

:03:55. > :03:59.That may be good news for some south-west farmers,

:04:00. > :04:02.but there's still uncertainty about whether farmers

:04:03. > :04:05.here will continue to receive the money they currently

:04:06. > :04:11.Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell joins us now.

:04:12. > :04:20.What do you make of what she said today? Since the Brexit vote I think

:04:21. > :04:23.it is fair to say that farmers have been looking for political guidance

:04:24. > :04:30.about what is going to happen. Today they got an inkling about it. This

:04:31. > :04:33.emphasis on environmental controls, more freeing up of farmers so they

:04:34. > :04:37.can take on world markets. That is the kind of message that Ms Leadsom

:04:38. > :04:40.had to say today. She is very keen to roll back the control on farmers.

:04:41. > :04:43.I will be looking at scrapping the rules that hold us back,

:04:44. > :04:45.and focusing instead on what works best with the United Kingdom.

:04:46. > :04:47.No more six-foot EU billboards littering the landscape.

:04:48. > :04:49.No more existential debates to determine what counts

:04:50. > :05:04.Adrian, you talk to people in the farming near the all the time, what

:05:05. > :05:10.have they been saying generally about Brexit? They tend to be rather

:05:11. > :05:13.cagey about how they voted. Although it is thought that younger farmers

:05:14. > :05:16.have most to gain from the changes that are coming, they may want to

:05:17. > :05:22.embrace these new world markets opening up to them, and other

:05:23. > :05:25.important thing to remember is that billions of pounds of grant aid are

:05:26. > :05:28.at stake here. That has been very important for supposed farmers for

:05:29. > :05:30.many years now. Adrian, thank you very much.

:05:31. > :05:33.Police officers have criticised a decision to give a prolific

:05:34. > :05:35.south-west drug smuggler Christmas release from prison.

:05:36. > :05:40.He was jailed for 15 years for bringing large

:05:41. > :05:43.quantities of Class A drugs into the region from Manchester.

:05:44. > :05:45.The Police Federation says such criminals should serve

:05:46. > :05:51.Our Home Affairs Correspondent Simon Hall reports.

:05:52. > :05:54.Blake Donnellan was supposed to be in prison at Sudbury and Derbyshire

:05:55. > :05:56.serving a 15-year sentence for smuggling drugs

:05:57. > :06:07.But he was released for 24 hours on Christmas Day,

:06:08. > :06:11.Donnellan was one of the leaders of a gang which made tens

:06:12. > :06:14.of thousands of pounds ringing cocaine and other Class A drugs

:06:15. > :06:18.At the time of his conviction in 2011, police said a major supply

:06:19. > :06:21.ring had been broken by one of the biggest investigations

:06:22. > :06:27.It involved more phonework than we have ever done before,

:06:28. > :06:37.Donnellan was described as a career criminal and was once banned

:06:38. > :06:41.from Devon and Cornwall for ten years because of his activities.

:06:42. > :06:44.Police began an extensive covert surveillance operation

:06:45. > :06:48.to convict him along with four other members of his gang.

:06:49. > :06:51.In public, Devon and Cornwall police aren't commenting

:06:52. > :06:53.on Donnellan absconding, saying it's a matter

:06:54. > :06:59.But, in private, senior officers I've spoken to have expressed anger,

:07:00. > :07:04.saying a great deal of work went into convicting him and raising

:07:05. > :07:07.concerns that Donnellan may quickly return to criminality.

:07:08. > :07:10.In a statement, the Ministry of Justice said...

:07:11. > :07:16."All offenders must meet strict criteria, pass a full risk

:07:17. > :07:20."assessment before being considered for release on temporary licence."

:07:21. > :07:23.Anyone who thinks they see Donnellan is asked to call

:07:24. > :07:31.Now a round-up of other news from around the south-west tonight.

:07:32. > :07:34.27-year-old Tanis Bhandari was stabbed to death two years ago

:07:35. > :07:39.At the time of the murder one of his two killers,

:07:40. > :07:43.Donald Pemberton, was out on licence from prison.

:07:44. > :07:45.Now Tanis's mother Andrea Sharpe has petitioned the Prime Minister

:07:46. > :07:48.calling for a probation service report on his supervision

:07:49. > :07:53.Alison Hernandez, the Devon and Cornwall Police

:07:54. > :07:55.and Crime Commissioner, has been questioned under caution

:07:56. > :08:00.She is being investigated over allegations about election expenses

:08:01. > :08:05.when she was the campaign agent for the Torbay

:08:06. > :08:08.A report will be presented to the Independent Police

:08:09. > :08:12.The Royal Cornwall Hospital has reached Level Four,

:08:13. > :08:17.It means there are not enough beds to cope with the number

:08:18. > :08:21.People are being asked to use walk-in centres for minor

:08:22. > :08:23.Hospitals in Taunton and Yeovil are also working at full capacity.

:08:24. > :08:28.Pranksters put up these blow-up skeletons after they becoming fed up

:08:29. > :08:33.Locals in Bude were told it would be put in three years ago.

:08:34. > :08:36.The skeletons have now been taken down and the contractors

:08:37. > :08:51.The Devon poet Alice Oswald has won a prestigious national prize. She

:08:52. > :08:55.was honoured by judges in the cost of words. They said they were in awe

:08:56. > :08:57.of her collection called falling awake which explores the themes of

:08:58. > :09:00.nature and mortality. It's no secret that major changes

:09:01. > :09:03.to the way health services are run The Government's asked health bosses

:09:04. > :09:07.to come up with ways of saving money and making sure more people

:09:08. > :09:10.are treated out of hospital - Nothing has been decided yet,

:09:11. > :09:14.but some town councils in North Devon are worried that any

:09:15. > :09:17.cuts to services at North Devon District Hospital

:09:18. > :09:19.could put lives at risk. As a result they're holding a series

:09:20. > :09:22.of public meetings urging local people to join the campaign

:09:23. > :09:24.against the proposals. Tonight there's one in Northam,

:09:25. > :09:41.and Janine Jansen has been talking Yes, the meeting starts at 7pm, some

:09:42. > :09:47.not quite yet. People are expected to arrive soon. Joining me now is

:09:48. > :09:50.Philip Wearne from the Save Our Hospital Services. How worried are

:09:51. > :09:55.people about potential changes to North Devon District Hospital in

:09:56. > :09:59.Barnstable? Extremely. It took 50 or 60 years to build up the special

:10:00. > :10:07.services and we could lose them in a matter of months. Which services are

:10:08. > :10:12.you most concerned about? Consultant paediatrics, consultant led

:10:13. > :10:15.maternity, acute stroke, special baby care, neonatal. What would it

:10:16. > :10:20.mean if the services were cut because this is an incredibly rural

:10:21. > :10:24.area. It has a big increase in population in the summer with

:10:25. > :10:29.tourism. It needs to attract businesses and young families which

:10:30. > :10:32.is unlikely to do but also paediatrics and consultant led by

:10:33. > :10:35.charity. It would basically mean that people died or are seriously

:10:36. > :10:39.impaired as a result having to travel to Exeter or both. Health

:10:40. > :10:42.bosses say they haven't announced the plans yet. They are talking

:10:43. > :10:46.about them. They are letting people know and they will be consultation

:10:47. > :10:49.in public on them. Tips is already happening. We have lost 40 acute

:10:50. > :10:55.beds at Devon North district. We have lost seven services to

:10:56. > :10:58.nonemergency services, non-acute services from North Devon and they

:10:59. > :11:06.are deciding things in the next few weeks and will be presented to the

:11:07. > :11:16.as fait accompli. Chris Leather is the mirror. The threat affects

:11:17. > :11:21.everybody here. It is serious. One of the most worrying thing is in the

:11:22. > :11:24.area for a long time. Some people say the NHS isn't affordable and has

:11:25. > :11:28.to be streamlined and tested change with the times. It is how the money

:11:29. > :11:31.is spent and managed. I would like to see more management at local

:11:32. > :11:35.level as it used to be years ago. Many people are you expecting

:11:36. > :11:41.tonight? Think we will fill the hole. Capacity 200 and probably we

:11:42. > :11:45.will have to turn some way. -- Hall. Thank you. We'll have a report about

:11:46. > :11:50.tonight 's meeting in the late news for you at PM. -- 1030.

:11:51. > :11:53.And later this month we have a week of special programmes looking

:11:54. > :11:56.at the way the health service works here in the south-west.

:11:57. > :11:58.We'll have unprecedented access behind the scenes to see how

:11:59. > :12:02.pressures on one part of the NHS can have a knock-on effect elsewhere

:12:03. > :12:09.That's coming up on Spotlight from 16 January.

:12:10. > :12:11.Life-saving rescue missions by Devon's air ambulance are now

:12:12. > :12:15.Thanks to a ?1 million investment, the pilots now have night-vision

:12:16. > :12:18.goggles and the first of what will be hundreds of floodlit

:12:19. > :12:23.Kirk England has been up with one of the crews.

:12:24. > :12:26.The golden lights of the North Devon town of Chulmleigh.

:12:27. > :12:29.A scene from the Devon air ambulance.

:12:30. > :12:33.Now the work of the pilots and paramedics on board doesn't

:12:34. > :12:41.What's made flying at night possible is a growing number of floodlit

:12:42. > :12:46.community landing sites which make it easier, faster and safer

:12:47. > :12:55.Chulmleigh's playing field is good enough.

:12:56. > :12:58.Lit by a specially installed floodlight,

:12:59. > :13:03.We are a rural community, a long way from hospitals.

:13:04. > :13:11.Barnstaple and Exeter are our two main hospitals.

:13:12. > :13:13.Ambulances take 20, 30 minutes or so to get here,

:13:14. > :13:18.I think a lot of people know how good and how valuable and essential

:13:19. > :13:19.the services we provide during the daylight.

:13:20. > :13:23.The reality is up until last month we couldn't do that at night.

:13:24. > :13:25.People still have their accidents, they still get

:13:26. > :13:29.And we wanted to be able to respond to them even when it was dark.

:13:30. > :13:32.And this network of community landing sites we can now help

:13:33. > :13:34.patients in Devon even when it is dark.

:13:35. > :13:36.The helicopter has been adapted to fly at night,

:13:37. > :13:41.pilots trained and supplied with special night vision goggles.

:13:42. > :13:44.At the moment teams clock off at midnight, but it's hoped that

:13:45. > :13:46.in the next few years they'll be responding to emergencies

:13:47. > :13:58.We take a poignant journey back to Syria in a moment

:13:59. > :14:06.Plus an epic arctic climb for two injured military men.

:14:07. > :14:09.And, coming up, I'm at Sandy Park as the team get ready

:14:10. > :14:16.for what could be their toughest test of the season.

:14:17. > :14:19.If you'd been seriously injured while working in Syria,

:14:20. > :14:23.seen a colleague blown up just metres from where you were standing,

:14:24. > :14:25.and had a million-dollar bounty on your head,

:14:26. > :14:29.Well, none of that has put off photographer

:14:30. > :14:34.He was wounded in an explosion in Homs in 2012 in which acclaimed

:14:35. > :14:42.He's just returned to the Syrian border for the first time since that

:14:43. > :14:45.attack as part of a convoy taking out vital medical equipment.

:14:46. > :14:48.The trip was organised by Devon doctor Mark Hannaford.

:14:49. > :14:56.They're now back home and they've been describing their journey.

:14:57. > :15:05.One of the big parts of the convoy was to make a statement to the

:15:06. > :15:12.Syrian people that they are not forgotten about and that people do

:15:13. > :15:16.care. The journey itself, we set off from London 2600 miles, ten

:15:17. > :15:19.different countries, a few interesting border crossings, a

:15:20. > :15:27.major blizzard. I think the evening we were trapped in the snow when we

:15:28. > :15:36.got to the untapped and had handed over this... Was it six babies? They

:15:37. > :15:44.were frozen to death in TQ to get into Turkey that night. We had been

:15:45. > :15:52.into an area that was surrounded by a ring of steel, artillery. As the

:15:53. > :15:56.days went on it became insanity. The buildings around us were falling.

:15:57. > :16:08.Most of the people we had gone in with were dead so we said... We woke

:16:09. > :16:14.in the morning about 7am and within minutes a rocket hit about 100

:16:15. > :16:20.metres one side and 100 metres the other side. 30 seconds later two

:16:21. > :16:24.more rockets hit maybe 50 metres away and by now the building was

:16:25. > :16:30.starting to rumble. I wanted my camera so I ran through looking in

:16:31. > :16:36.the rubble and found my bag and got my camera, run back in. The corridor

:16:37. > :16:43.behind me exploded. That was taken out. Then a shell hit a direct hit

:16:44. > :16:54.about four metres or five metres from where I was standing. But about

:16:55. > :16:58.two metres away. It was an almighty, I can't really describe the

:16:59. > :17:10.intensity of the explosion. But I was still standing there. When it

:17:11. > :17:18.comes down. This thought something was a bit in my leg like a stone, my

:17:19. > :17:24.hand came out to the other side of my leg. I went to look for Marie and

:17:25. > :17:30.I fell and landed on top of her. Since I have been out I have been a

:17:31. > :17:35.complete thorn in the side of everyone trying to get them to act

:17:36. > :17:39.on Syria. So when the opportunity came with the convoy I have no

:17:40. > :17:46.hesitation. They said yes before I knew why we were going to Syria.

:17:47. > :17:52.Yes, I will go back. Because they gave everything to get me out. The

:17:53. > :18:01.chance to go back and actually do something, physically help, yet, it

:18:02. > :18:06.was all I needed. Mark here had it all sorted. I'm just glad they got

:18:07. > :18:14.him in because it was a tough thing to do in that time scale. Yeah, the

:18:15. > :18:19.fundraising initially was ?91,000 the target. No time we did final

:18:20. > :18:26.tally, what came in will be closer to a quarter of a million. The

:18:27. > :18:29.public response was amazing. We have certainly been looking at what we

:18:30. > :18:34.can do next to provide further support. A cunning plan! A stunning

:18:35. > :18:44.plan! While Plymouth Argyle's trip

:18:45. > :18:47.to Liverpool may be dominating the sporting headlines

:18:48. > :18:52.in the south-west this week, there's also a huge rugby match

:18:53. > :18:55.coming up for the Exeter Chiefs. They take on Premiership champions

:18:56. > :18:57.Saracens off the back of two great Andy Birkett has been

:18:58. > :19:05.along to Sandy Park. The Chiefs crashed into the festive

:19:06. > :19:09.season full of cheer, thrashing Leicester

:19:10. > :19:11.on Christmas Eve. New Year's Eve and there

:19:12. > :19:13.was more of the same. This time it was a

:19:14. > :19:15.dramatic last-gasp win Each win saw them leapfrog

:19:16. > :19:21.their opponents in the table. Now, with a trip to the European

:19:22. > :19:23.and Premiership champions next, We didn't always have the best

:19:24. > :19:30.of starts to the season, and I think it seems we have

:19:31. > :19:33.pulled it together. A lot of people say we were quite

:19:34. > :19:35.lucky on the weekend, but we stayed in it for 80 minutes

:19:36. > :19:38.and I think that's It doesn't matter when you score

:19:39. > :19:43.your points, as long as by the end I think the team is in a good space

:19:44. > :19:48.at the moment to really get a bit of confidence,

:19:49. > :19:50.go up there looking forward When the two teams met

:19:51. > :19:54.here at Sandy Park at the start of the season, Sarries ran

:19:55. > :19:56.out convincing winners. But the Chiefs' form has really

:19:57. > :19:59.picked up in the last few weeks, and now is as good a time as any

:20:00. > :20:03.to take them on again. Often at this time of year

:20:04. > :20:05.it is about turning up with the right attitude,

:20:06. > :20:07.the right energy, in the right frame of mind

:20:08. > :20:11.and you genuinely give it a real go. And that gives us a foothold,

:20:12. > :20:14.and once you have got a foothold you can start to make your decisions

:20:15. > :20:16.during the game. We have focused far more on that

:20:17. > :20:19.than trying to devise some clever plan, because,

:20:20. > :20:21.you know, most of what Saracens can Not only are these games

:20:22. > :20:25.exciting for the players, When two Premiership

:20:26. > :20:29.heavyweights go head-to-head. Two former Royal Marines from Devon,

:20:30. > :20:33.who had to retire on medical grounds, are setting off tomorrow

:20:34. > :20:36.as part of a five-man military team to climb the highest

:20:37. > :20:39.mountain in Antarctica. Danny Claricoates and James

:20:40. > :20:42.Nightingale both fought in two James was shot in the jaw,

:20:43. > :20:46.while Danny had post-traumatic stress after witnessing two friends

:20:47. > :20:51.killed by a roadside bomb. Johnny Rutherford has been to see

:20:52. > :20:54.how Danny is preparing This was a spot training

:20:55. > :21:00.for the five-man team last year in Chamonix,

:21:01. > :21:10.France. Their mission to raise money

:21:11. > :21:12.for the Royal Marines charity by climbing the highest peak

:21:13. > :21:14.in Antarctica, Mount Vincent, which is no mean feat at more

:21:15. > :21:18.than half the height of Mount But for ex-Royal Marine Danny

:21:19. > :21:21.Claricoates it's much more In 2007 he fought in Afghanistan

:21:22. > :21:25.and was awarded the Military Cross. I've come home, 18 months later went

:21:26. > :21:27.back out to Afghanistan And during that tour two lads,

:21:28. > :21:31.two friends of mine in my team So, yeah, that was the

:21:32. > :21:39.turning point for me. That's where it all sort

:21:40. > :21:42.of finished for me. Post-traumatic stress disorder

:21:43. > :21:45.brought a premature end There are days sometimes where

:21:46. > :21:51.I just don't want to get out of bed. You just sort of pull the duvet

:21:52. > :21:54.over your head and just, you know, you just want to give up on life,

:21:55. > :21:57.but by doing something like this it gives me

:21:58. > :21:59.something to work towards, Danny wants to use the expedition

:22:00. > :22:05.to make more people aware It's about addressing the stigma,

:22:06. > :22:11.it's about educating that actually We are able to own our own

:22:12. > :22:18.businesses and work for a living The extreme challenge to get

:22:19. > :22:23.to the top of the bottom There is a part of me

:22:24. > :22:29.that is a bit jealous, I think the Antarctic

:22:30. > :22:34.would be a bit harsh for me. Although Sarah herself is no

:22:35. > :22:38.stranger to physical challenges, as she won a bronze medal

:22:39. > :22:41.at the Invictus Games last year. I know for Danny with his PTSD,

:22:42. > :22:44.I have seen for myself how much he benefits

:22:45. > :22:46.from being in the outdoors. We've both been to Everest

:22:47. > :22:50.base camp together. And personally for his

:22:51. > :22:53.rehabilitation, and just for his self-confidence,

:22:54. > :22:55.his self-esteem, the benefits Walking axe, sleeping bag,

:22:56. > :23:04.couple of water bottles... The team hope to reach

:23:05. > :23:08.the summit by next Friday. Cos once a Royal Marine,

:23:09. > :23:15.always a Royal Marine. That report from Johnny Rutherford,

:23:16. > :23:17.and all being well we're hoping to talk to Danny from the Antarctic

:23:18. > :23:30.sometime next week. We wish them well. Let's find out

:23:31. > :23:35.what the weather is doing closer to home. Nowhere near as cold. But it

:23:36. > :23:39.will get a little bit chillier? Probably not as cold as it was

:23:40. > :23:43.earlier in the week but another fast as possible. At the moment a good

:23:44. > :23:48.cover of cloud helping keep temperatures up but it is clearing.

:23:49. > :23:57.These were pictures from earlier in the week. We had some sunshine. I

:23:58. > :24:02.think the cloud has made a bit of a different sort of a day to day and I

:24:03. > :24:07.think tomorrow we may return to the sort of pictures with more sunshine.

:24:08. > :24:12.We could well start with Prost. Not everywhere. Dry and find for most of

:24:13. > :24:18.us and we will see some sunshine. The boundary between where the

:24:19. > :24:22.riverfront clears and where we get the clear skies and the low

:24:23. > :24:26.temperatures could give us a risk of ice bowl tonight and at first

:24:27. > :24:30.tomorrow. Watch out for that particularly on the minor roads

:24:31. > :24:34.which may not have had treatment. A lot happening at the moment. Weather

:24:35. > :24:37.front drifting in from the North already producing some light rain

:24:38. > :24:42.and drizzle but it does clear from all but parts of Cornwall during the

:24:43. > :24:46.course of the night and at first tomorrow morning but it is still

:24:47. > :24:50.there around the middle of the day. Further east the best of the

:24:51. > :24:54.sunshine will be Dorset and Somerset. Closer to this area of

:24:55. > :24:59.high pressure which is on the move. It will probably clear quite simply

:25:00. > :25:05.by the end of Friday allowing mild air to arrive and also a lot of

:25:06. > :25:09.cloud and outbreaks of rain. We do get westerly winds which gives us a

:25:10. > :25:13.lot of cloud. That is the cover of cloud we have got in the last few

:25:14. > :25:18.hours. Some holes in the cloud through Wales and parts of Somerset

:25:19. > :25:22.and Dorset, already breaking up. It will gradually move westwards but

:25:23. > :25:26.not really clear from Cornwall particularly the west by the end of

:25:27. > :25:30.the night. Where we do see the clear skies we will see quite a sharp

:25:31. > :25:34.frost and we're looking at pretty low temperatures. Crossing were

:25:35. > :25:39.eastern of Devon and parts of Somerset and the north of Dorset we

:25:40. > :25:43.could see temperatures as low as minus five or minus six. Further

:25:44. > :25:48.west with all the cloud cover of cloud will be just about free. It is

:25:49. > :25:51.the boundary line through parts of east Cornwall and the West of Devon

:25:52. > :25:56.where we will see some clearance but also enough moisture for a few icy

:25:57. > :26:01.stretches on roads and pavements. Tomorrow the best of the sunshine is

:26:02. > :26:05.underused. A lot of cloud affecting Cornwall particularly in the West

:26:06. > :26:09.and Isles of Scilly. The band of cloud will slowly go back towards

:26:10. > :26:13.London during the course of the day and eventually cloud the skies

:26:14. > :26:17.across West Devon. The best of the sunshine in East Devon and Somerset

:26:18. > :26:24.and Dorset. Temperature is where it starts really cold struggling. Light

:26:25. > :26:28.winds. Four or five across parts of Somerset. Up to double figures in

:26:29. > :26:32.the far West of Cornwall. But the Isles of Scilly it is rather cloudy

:26:33. > :26:43.and we continue to see a risk of a few showers here and there. Surfing

:26:44. > :26:50.conditions aren't brilliant tomorrow. Up to about two feet on

:26:51. > :26:53.the north coast. A bit choppy along the south coast. A southerly breeze

:26:54. > :26:58.which will gradually pick up along the course of the day. South or

:26:59. > :27:02.south-easterly for most of us. 3-4 and generally fair with good

:27:03. > :27:06.visibility. Let's look at the forecast a little bit further ahead.

:27:07. > :27:09.Freddie looks like it will be much milder but rather cloudy and

:27:10. > :27:14.outbreaks of rain, some of that being quite widespread through the

:27:15. > :27:22.afternoon. Saturday is a bit brighter and still a lot of cloud. I

:27:23. > :27:26.think the weekend ahead it is mild, quiet but at times rather cloudy.

:27:27. > :27:34.Make the most of the sunshine tomorrow. Have a good evening. We

:27:35. > :27:37.will have news from Northam and the public meeting concerning possible

:27:38. > :27:51.help cuts in the late news at 10:30pm. Good night.

:27:52. > :27:55.as he explores Naples, Venice and Florence.

:27:56. > :27:57.It's like we're walking through a giant's armpit.

:27:58. > :28:05.We can follow the escape route of Michelangelo.

:28:06. > :28:17.Mildred is our first student from a non-witching family.
