:00:00. > :00:11.Tonight - the four hospitals facing closure.

:00:12. > :00:12.It's been recommended that Ashburton, Bovey Tracey,

:00:13. > :00:15.Dartmouth and Paignton hospitals should be shut.

:00:16. > :00:20.I just cannot understand, with the pressure on

:00:21. > :00:23.Torbay Hospital, why they're closing Paignton beds.

:00:24. > :00:26.Also on the programme tonight, when did you last use the library?

:00:27. > :00:29.The question being posed in a consultation over

:00:30. > :00:32.whether to close 10 out of 17 in Plymouth.

:00:33. > :00:35.Preparing for the world of work - the new approach to help youngsters

:00:36. > :00:43.And chaos on the East Devon coast - the lessons learned from the Napoli

:00:44. > :01:18.First tonight a story which has been hotly debated on BBC radio Devon

:01:19. > :01:20.this week, and firmly defended by the council.

:01:21. > :01:23.Libraries - a place for people to borrow books,

:01:24. > :01:25.get online and seek advice, but a public consultation will start

:01:26. > :01:30.on Monday on whether to close 10 of Plymouth's 17 libraries.

:01:31. > :01:32.The local authority says it wants to expand its online services

:01:33. > :01:34.and invest in fewer, but better library buildings.

:01:35. > :01:36.Some critics have described the plans as short-sighted.

:01:37. > :01:50.Tracey Ullman pokes fun at the demise of the library due

:01:51. > :01:54.But there's no singing and dance here.

:01:55. > :01:57.Efford Library is one of ten which might close under new plans

:01:58. > :01:59.unveiled this week by Plymouth City Council.

:02:00. > :02:02.It's just down the road from High View primary School,

:02:03. > :02:05.where some of the pupils have decided to take action.

:02:06. > :02:07.Keen supporters of their local library, they've started

:02:08. > :02:15.I'm hoping that it's going to work because I know that lots of people

:02:16. > :02:17.really like that library, because it's not so

:02:18. > :02:26.The books really help to exercise your mind.

:02:27. > :02:29.When they see that we really like this library

:02:30. > :02:33.then they will say, "Let's not close this down.

:02:34. > :02:37.Let's keep it for the people who like this library."

:02:38. > :02:39.Award-winning children's author and illustrator

:02:40. > :02:48.He believes libraries are valuable places which shouldn't be lost.

:02:49. > :02:52.If we lose them, I think will be closing our horizons for children.

:02:53. > :02:55.Closing down possibilities for older people to have something

:02:56. > :03:00.The council argues smaller library buildings,

:03:01. > :03:03.like this one, can't offer the range of services it wants to provide.

:03:04. > :03:06.Our customers tell us they want help with IT skills.

:03:07. > :03:08.They want an opportunity to seek jobs.

:03:09. > :03:11.They want to be able to access council services,

:03:12. > :03:16.You simply can't do that if you haven't got

:03:17. > :03:24.There are places where people can meet and interact.

:03:25. > :03:26.They're the heart of every community in Plymouth,

:03:27. > :03:29.and when you take the library away you rip out the heart

:03:30. > :03:34.Plymouth City Council says it wants fewer but

:03:35. > :03:36.better equipped buildings - like its new Central Library.

:03:37. > :03:38.A public consultation starts on Monday.

:03:39. > :03:44.And you can see more on Libraries and other stories on this week's

:03:45. > :03:58.NHS bosses have recommended the closure of four cottage

:03:59. > :04:03.The decision came this afternoon after 12 weeks of consultation over

:04:04. > :04:05.the plans to shut Dartmouth, Paignton, Ashburton

:04:06. > :04:17.Hamish Marshall is at Paignton Hospital for us now.

:04:18. > :04:27.These plans were controversial when they were first raised. Now as we

:04:28. > :04:31.near a final decision. It was here in Paignton the public meetings were

:04:32. > :04:37.so busy that even the local MP could not get into them as people queued

:04:38. > :04:41.to try and save the hospitals. In short, Bovey Tracey, Paignton,

:04:42. > :04:45.Dartford and Ashford hospitals are too close. In total, that would mean

:04:46. > :04:48.around 60 beds affected. The body that will make that decision says

:04:49. > :04:49.people will still get a good level of care.

:04:50. > :04:50.There's a significant number of people currently

:04:51. > :04:53.in hospital who actually, if there were services again

:04:54. > :04:55.available in their community at home, would be able to get

:04:56. > :04:59.So the idea is that these proposals, by putting in the investment

:05:00. > :05:02.in services that will help those people, will enable those people

:05:03. > :05:05.to stay out of hospital and also to get home much quicker -

:05:06. > :05:13.which is what they've told us they want.

:05:14. > :05:19.Here in Paignton, x-rays and the minor injuries unit as well as the

:05:20. > :05:22.beds are going to go. The people here tonight he told me they're

:05:23. > :05:26.absolutely distraught at what looks as if it's not going to have to

:05:27. > :05:28.happen in this case. They're concerned that any plans put in will

:05:29. > :05:29.not work. And they talk about community care,

:05:30. > :05:34.but it's very poor at the moment. And district nurses particularly

:05:35. > :05:38.are really struggling, because they can't recruit

:05:39. > :05:54.and their caseloads A final decision on this is due to

:05:55. > :05:57.take place next Thursday. What we were told today were the

:05:58. > :06:03.recommendations ahead the CCG meeting. Already campaigners are

:06:04. > :06:08.trying to have one final protest - one of those will take place in

:06:09. > :06:11.Ashburton tomorrow. Hamish, thank you. E-mails of anger are already

:06:12. > :06:14.coming into us tomorrow here on Spotlight.

:06:15. > :06:17.All this week we've been reporting from inside our hospitals, as senior

:06:18. > :06:20.figures in the NHS try to deal with rising demand for services.

:06:21. > :06:22.Derriford began the year on the highest state of alert,

:06:23. > :06:24.meaning there were no more beds available and operations

:06:25. > :06:28.To round off our week of coverage Inside Our NHS,

:06:29. > :06:31.our reporter Kirk England has been given exclusive access behind

:06:32. > :06:34.the scenes as he followed the man who has to make the difficult

:06:35. > :06:36.decisions about who gets a bed and who doesn't.

:06:37. > :06:39....Seven, eight, we've got nine patients in the emergency

:06:40. > :06:45.A lot of the pressure on the NHS comes down to one thing - numbers.

:06:46. > :06:50.And this is the man who's got to make it all add up.

:06:51. > :06:52.So in terms of capacity currently, how are we looking?

:06:53. > :06:55.Greg Dix has to make sure there are enough beds to treat

:06:56. > :07:02.So we've got a few extra trolleys today with nobody on them,

:07:03. > :07:07.It's just before nine o'clock and, after the busiest few weeks

:07:08. > :07:10.the hospital has ever had, today is beginning well.

:07:11. > :07:13.Even the football hasn't added to the pressure.

:07:14. > :07:19.Certainly this week appears to be a better week.

:07:20. > :07:22.We've had a relatively low attendances coming

:07:23. > :07:28.But, equally, the patients that are coming in are sicker patients.

:07:29. > :07:32.So they have been going into general beds within the hospital.

:07:33. > :07:37.Whilst it's quieter in the emergency department, the pressure

:07:38. > :07:42.is on in a ward down the corridor, where some patients are moved onto.

:07:43. > :07:44.This ward has 20 beds, and we have 20 patients here currently.

:07:45. > :07:48.So there will be ward rounds several times today,

:07:49. > :07:51.and there patient will be discharged to enable some capacity

:07:52. > :08:04.We've been allowed to film behind the scenes at the daily meetings,

:08:05. > :08:06.where key decisions about managing staff and

:08:07. > :08:10.We've got no capacity at the moment on an MAU.

:08:11. > :08:12.Bed availability within the cumulative there is one.

:08:13. > :08:15.We are awaiting two HSGs who are medically

:08:16. > :08:20.On a day-to-day basis we have four site meetings within the hospital

:08:21. > :08:22.on a minute by minute, hour by hour basis.

:08:23. > :08:25.Understanding which patients are coming in electively

:08:26. > :08:27.and non-electectively before surgery or emergency admissions.

:08:28. > :08:30.We have to balance that around beds that are available at any

:08:31. > :08:33.one time, and that's a really difficult decision.

:08:34. > :08:36.And sometimes a difficult decision can mean cancelling

:08:37. > :08:42.operations when services are stretched to capacity.

:08:43. > :08:45.The first two weeks after Christmas, from my experience,

:08:46. > :08:51.But I think we coped very well in terms of keeping patients safe.

:08:52. > :08:53.Today it feels much calmer, and patients are hopefully getting

:08:54. > :09:00.a much better experience of care when the hospital's back to normal.

:09:01. > :09:03.Greg Dix from Derriford Hospital ending that report by Kirk England.

:09:04. > :09:05.On to other news from around the region.

:09:06. > :09:07.Protestors in Cornwall trying to halt a new super quarry

:09:08. > :09:09.on the Lizard returned to the High Court today.

:09:10. > :09:12.They say there's been no assessment on the environmental impact

:09:13. > :09:17.of reopening Dean Quarry near St Keverne.

:09:18. > :09:19.Time's running out to register interest in becoming a firefighter

:09:20. > :09:24.A recruitment drive has been taking place for the first

:09:25. > :09:33.Young people in Cornwall are being failed when it

:09:34. > :09:36.comes to preparing them for the world of work.

:09:37. > :09:38.Schools took on responsibility for offering their own careers

:09:39. > :09:41.guidance in recent years, but that's been rated as the worst

:09:42. > :09:43.in the country at providing links with businesses.

:09:44. > :09:46.But now Cornwall's education and business worlds have come up

:09:47. > :09:48.with an idea to improve what's on offer.

:09:49. > :09:55.What do you want to be when you grow up?

:09:56. > :10:03.For teenagers these days, it might not always be used it forward.

:10:04. > :10:06.-- it might not always be straightforward.

:10:07. > :10:09.Research suggests that today's youngsters will have six careers

:10:10. > :10:12.and 17 jobs in the course of a lifetime.

:10:13. > :10:14.Have you guys got any idea yet on how you need

:10:15. > :10:18.These 14- and 15-year-olds at a Truro secondary school

:10:19. > :10:20.are preparing presentations under the watchful eye of Paul

:10:21. > :10:22.from Cornish cream company, Rodda's - the school's link

:10:23. > :10:27.Why is it important to learn about business?

:10:28. > :10:31.The idea is for the students to talk to a conference of business people

:10:32. > :10:34.and get more companies signed up to work in schools.

:10:35. > :10:38.Unless you choose business studies for GCSE, it's

:10:39. > :10:44.So you don't understand how you need to be in interviews

:10:45. > :10:47.and what you need to write on a CV, and things like that.

:10:48. > :10:49.It's not actually part of the national curriculum,

:10:50. > :10:53.So I think it is important to have opportunities

:10:54. > :10:56.like this, for children to learn about business.

:10:57. > :10:59.The more access they can have to people that are in business,

:11:00. > :11:01.and the more knowledge they can get from those people,

:11:02. > :11:03.the easier it is for them going into the workplace,

:11:04. > :11:08.Having someone like Paul partnered with the school is just part

:11:09. > :11:10.of a much wider push to improve the quality of careers

:11:11. > :11:14.As government-backed analysis reveals, it's the worst

:11:15. > :11:19.in the country at linking schools with local businesses.

:11:20. > :11:22.40% of employers and 16-18 -year-olds were poorly

:11:23. > :11:24.or very poorly prepared for the world of work.

:11:25. > :11:28.But only 30% of employers offered work experience.

:11:29. > :11:32.A teacher can stand at the front of the class and say it's really

:11:33. > :11:35.important to get a C, it's really important to get an A.

:11:36. > :11:37.But unless they've got the motivation or aspirations,

:11:38. > :11:40.it's very hard to get through to some students who aren't

:11:41. > :11:45.So having businesses available so all teachers can embed it

:11:46. > :11:49.The hope is by making sure there's a proper career

:11:50. > :11:57.strategy across Cornwall, more aspirations come true.

:11:58. > :12:00.Two women from Plymouth who managed to land ?50,000

:12:01. > :12:02.from the TV programme Dragons' Den say their business is booming.

:12:03. > :12:05.Rachel Day and Merry Whitaker appeared on the BBC Two programme

:12:06. > :12:14.on New Year's Day, asking for investment for their

:12:15. > :12:26.Johnny Rutherford went to see how the Dragons have helped them out.

:12:27. > :12:34.Hello. We run Love Keep Create. We're here today to ask you for

:12:35. > :12:38.?50,000 in return for a 10% equity share in our business.

:12:39. > :12:41.After a gruelling quiz of questions from the Dragons, the two Dragons

:12:42. > :12:46.managed to tempt Deborah Meade in. I'm going to make you an offer and

:12:47. > :12:49.following those words would be rude of me not to make you an offer on

:12:50. > :12:54.the basis that you've asked. I felt numb. I couldn't quite

:12:55. > :12:57.believe it. I felt like I want the next 20 minutes to go by really

:12:58. > :13:03.quickly just so we could say, yes, thank you, goodbye!

:13:04. > :13:07.The girls were mad business increments -- they run their

:13:08. > :13:10.business in Plymouth and turn old clothes into keepsake of toys and

:13:11. > :13:14.blankets. It's this big. I've brought my children's old clothes

:13:15. > :13:18.here. The day what they can make with ease. The business started

:13:19. > :13:22.after Rachel made a keep fit for her husband crafted from Bassong's baby

:13:23. > :13:26.grand when he was serving in Afghanistan -- crafted from their

:13:27. > :13:30.son noes baby grows. Now with the Dragon on board, businesses

:13:31. > :13:34.flourishing. Debra has been down here for a

:13:35. > :13:38.business meeting. She has met one of our team and the businesses

:13:39. > :13:41.flourishing. She has the great contacts are we which have helped us

:13:42. > :13:47.move on to the next part of the plan, if that makes sense.

:13:48. > :13:50.Being on the Dragons' Den, that helps us to plan and moving forward,

:13:51. > :13:55.knowing that we can take more people on permanent contracts.

:13:56. > :13:59.We have our dragon, and here is one for you.

:14:00. > :14:05.Fantastic! Plastic, brilliant. Thank you ever so much.

:14:06. > :14:07.Tens years ago, a major maritime disaster was unfolding.

:14:08. > :14:09.Later in the programme we'll look back at the grounding

:14:10. > :14:12.of the Napoli, and asking what lessons were learned.

:14:13. > :14:14.And memories from the man sent down on a helicopter

:14:15. > :14:20.Jay O'Donnell will be here to describe how all 26 people

:14:21. > :14:37.Jack Nowell and Henry Slade have both been included in England's

:14:38. > :14:38.34-man training squad for the upcoming

:14:39. > :14:40.Six Nations Championship, but hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie misses out.

:14:41. > :14:43.Nowell has been in fine form since his return from injury

:14:44. > :14:46.and stands a good chance of playing against France in two weeks' time.

:14:47. > :14:48.The Cornishman is being rested for this weekend's trip

:14:49. > :14:50.to Clermont Auvergne in the Champions Cup.

:14:51. > :14:53.The Chiefs must win and hope other results go their way to stand

:14:54. > :14:58.any chance of making it through to the last eight.

:14:59. > :15:00.If we go there and don't perform well than qualification,

:15:01. > :15:02.if it's even possible, it doesn't really matter.

:15:03. > :15:05.The important thing is we focus on our level of performance.

:15:06. > :15:08.That will drive us forward and give us an opportunity to qualify,

:15:09. > :15:11.or potentially make us a better team just by going out there and really

:15:12. > :15:17.Wins for the Cornish Pirates and Jersey in the British and

:15:18. > :15:20.Irish Cup tomorrow will most likely see them both through

:15:21. > :15:23.Meanwhile, Plymouth Albion are in National One league action

:15:24. > :15:29.The glamour of Premier League opposition in front of a packed

:15:30. > :15:33.house will be a distant memory for Plymouth Argyle when they return

:15:34. > :15:35.to League Two action against Cheltenham Town tomorrow.

:15:36. > :15:38.Elsewhere, Exeter City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run

:15:39. > :15:41.to nine games when they welcome Colchester to St James Park.

:15:42. > :15:43.Yeovil travel to Blackpool and in the National League,

:15:44. > :15:54.It's hard to believe this was ten years ago,

:15:55. > :16:02.but a decade on from the beaching of the MSC Napoli, authorities say

:16:03. > :16:07.the disaster was a "turning point" in how stricken

:16:08. > :16:10.You may remember the scenes where people searched

:16:11. > :16:13.through the many containers filled with cargo, which washed up

:16:14. > :16:21.Here's a reminder of the astounding sequence of events of a decade ago.

:16:22. > :16:25.But as every member of the crew was rescued,

:16:26. > :16:29.the nightmare of the MSC Napoli was only just beginning.

:16:30. > :16:32.With cracks in its hull, the ship had been listing badly

:16:33. > :16:35.since it got into difficulty 46 miles from the Cornish coast.

:16:36. > :16:40.The decision to turn to Portland was abandoned amid fears it

:16:41. > :16:43.would break up in the channel, threatening the world renowned

:16:44. > :16:51.Faced with limited choice, the vessel was beached

:16:52. > :16:53.in the relative calm of Lyme Bay, off Branscombe.

:16:54. > :17:00.The Devon shoreline never busier in January.

:17:01. > :17:04.Mile after mile littered the ship's containers and their cargo.

:17:05. > :17:07.Treasure hunters carried away what they could.

:17:08. > :17:11.Top of the range motorbikes, nappies and pet food

:17:12. > :17:15.As the biggest accident at sea at the time unfolded,

:17:16. > :17:22.Hundreds of people descend on this stretch of East Devon coastline

:17:23. > :17:26.to ponder the washed-up cargo of the Napoli.

:17:27. > :17:29.There was concern that thousands of tonnes of oil would leak out.

:17:30. > :17:34.The MSC Napoli was broken up in the end with explosives.

:17:35. > :17:40.It took 2.5 years before every scrap was recovered from the shoreline.

:17:41. > :17:44.Authorities both here and in France now work much more closely

:17:45. > :17:52.It may be the first and last time we see a bonanza on the beach.

:17:53. > :17:57.Adrian Campbell has been hearing from some of the people who helped

:17:58. > :18:02.Ten years on and John Hughes, a local fisherman, remembers

:18:03. > :18:05.all the flotsam and jetsam that washed ashore.

:18:06. > :18:08.Well, Branscombe will never, I hope not, see anything like that again.

:18:09. > :18:11.It put Branscombe on the map, without a shadow of a doubt.

:18:12. > :18:15.People from all over the world were ringing up saying,

:18:16. > :18:26.The Napoli and its cargo came ashore around the same time

:18:27. > :18:31.Now at schools, they're learning all about the ship

:18:32. > :18:36.I think people shouldn't have taken the items on the beach

:18:37. > :18:38.because some of them were other people's belongings.

:18:39. > :18:42.Other people might have wanted them back.

:18:43. > :18:45.Some got really sad because they saw their stuff being taken away

:18:46. > :18:50.Some people didn't want to take things because they found out

:18:51. > :18:53.that there was a toxic waste that might have spilt on everything.

:18:54. > :18:56.As well as concerns about chemicals, an oil spill killed birds

:18:57. > :19:05.It was only when it got a little bit darker that the atmosphere changed.

:19:06. > :19:09.There was quite a lot of characters starting to go down there.

:19:10. > :19:13.By the time we got back to the car park at the village hall,

:19:14. > :19:26.It's all so lovely to hear the children that were babies

:19:27. > :19:28.at the time reliving what their parents have told them,

:19:29. > :19:31.and it comes to life or them really as well.

:19:32. > :19:33.So with a good few days remembering it.

:19:34. > :19:35.The removal of the Napoli was a remarkable achievement.

:19:36. > :19:39.But it's a small detail that really stand out.

:19:40. > :19:47.Then there was the container full of Bibles.

:19:48. > :19:50.That was the only thing that was left on the beach at one time!

:19:51. > :19:57.I think they were in Swahili or something.

:19:58. > :19:59.Ten years ago, the 62,000-tonne Napoli ran aground

:20:00. > :20:04.Now ten years on all that remains here is the anchor -

:20:05. > :20:07.all 13.5 tonnes of it, a permanent reminder

:20:08. > :20:23.I remember standing on that beach as if it were yesterday.

:20:24. > :20:25.The ship got into trouble a couple of days before running aground.

:20:26. > :20:28.All 26 crew were winched from the decks in an operation

:20:29. > :20:30.involving two Seakings from RNAS Culdose.

:20:31. > :20:36.Royal Naval Airman Jay O'Donnell saw them all in safely and joins us now.

:20:37. > :20:44.Of course, we remember the beach pictures, as we've just seen. But

:20:45. > :20:46.you must remember that they are incredibly clearly. What was that

:20:47. > :20:51.rescue like in terms of what you've done? Well, it was really funny

:20:52. > :20:54.because I was due to go home. I finished my shift and we were all

:20:55. > :21:00.talking about the weather that was becoming a bit of an issue. We were

:21:01. > :21:03.going to train and we were talking, randomly, about Jackie in the sick

:21:04. > :21:09.bay with her lover daffodils. Then off we went. The other went and they

:21:10. > :21:14.said there was 26 people in the water 45 miles away. -- the other

:21:15. > :21:19.went. There was a surge of manpower. The first aircraft got ready. I went

:21:20. > :21:21.into the second aircraft with the diving kit and off we went with a

:21:22. > :21:28.bit of trepidation, but adrenaline is not white what scene greeted you

:21:29. > :21:32.-- what scene greeted you when you finally got to the location? It was

:21:33. > :21:35.fantastic and also quite awesome in the fact that the waves were just

:21:36. > :21:41.gigantic. I'd never seen the sea so angry. Amongst all the missions we

:21:42. > :21:46.had done, I couldn't believe it. 70 knots of wind and 40-50 foot waves.

:21:47. > :21:49.You got all the men off safely. There must have been some pretty

:21:50. > :21:55.hairy moments during that time? There were a few full of the hardest

:21:56. > :21:59.part was getting on the lifeboat. Securing it, I didn't have any

:22:00. > :22:03.communication. The guys didn't need any English so that hampered things.

:22:04. > :22:07.I carried on and what I knew I had to do, probably the main problem

:22:08. > :22:12.that I had I reflected on was that at one point as the lifeboat got

:22:13. > :22:16.pulled up the wave, before it flipped over the top, the winch

:22:17. > :22:20.wire, my lifeline as well, got caught around the metal guard rails.

:22:21. > :22:25.I had to climb up on top to release it. At that moment I really had to

:22:26. > :22:31.stop and think for a couple of seconds and just remember thinking,

:22:32. > :22:36.somebody's here, helping me, as it came off. I remember you talking

:22:37. > :22:39.about this previously when there was one more to take off, a large chap

:22:40. > :22:45.who wanted to do all of his belongings with him. How did that

:22:46. > :22:49.situation unfold? It was typical. As we got rid of most of the guys on

:22:50. > :22:52.the first aircraft, then the second aircraft, the lifeboat became

:22:53. > :22:58.unstable and was spinning as well as flipping over the waves. Typically,

:22:59. > :23:02.the largest man in the bed, who was six foot five and large, had his

:23:03. > :23:05.whole worldly belongings. He didn't speak English and really didn't want

:23:06. > :23:12.to let them go. I forcibly made him drop his bag and try to usher him

:23:13. > :23:16.out. He was really difficult. I think you are suffering quite a bit

:23:17. > :23:20.and he ended up going overboard in the rescue harness. I had to pull

:23:21. > :23:25.him back on the ship. And you're still in the well maybe, we can see.

:23:26. > :23:34.Love it, still flying in Merlin Mark two now daily. I'm testing in my job

:23:35. > :23:39.and it's fantastic. We are really busy. We will never forget it. Jay,

:23:40. > :23:41.good to see you after all these years. Thank you for coming in.

:23:42. > :23:44.You may remember a few weeks ago we met Danny Claricoates,

:23:45. > :23:47.who was part of a team taking part in a charity challenge to scale

:23:48. > :23:52.Well, the good news is that Danny and his fell

:23:53. > :23:56.The two former Commandos, who both served in Afghanistan,

:23:57. > :23:58.reached the sumit of Mount Vinson with their team mates

:23:59. > :24:06.The boys are now in Chile awaiting a flight home.

:24:07. > :24:12.Well done to them. We can remember clearly what the weather was like

:24:13. > :24:17.ten years ago. Not quite so called this weekend, I hope?

:24:18. > :24:22.Very different. It with a howling westerly gale on the day of the

:24:23. > :24:26.accident. It looks like we will continue to see this dry but cold

:24:27. > :24:29.weather. There are some subtle changes coming this weekend, a bit

:24:30. > :24:34.more in the way of cloud developing as we move through Saturday and into

:24:35. > :24:38.Sunday. You've been taking some fantastic pictures. It's been great

:24:39. > :24:44.for sunrises and sunsets, this one taken upon Exmoor. Thank you for

:24:45. > :24:49.those and keep them coming. The weekend is rather more cloudy, I

:24:50. > :24:52.think, for all of us. Still cold and mostly dry, but before the rest you

:24:53. > :24:57.are the higher the risk of perhaps the a few showers. Still high

:24:58. > :25:01.pressure in charge across us at the moment. That doesn't change a busy

:25:02. > :25:04.weekend ahead. The high pressure is beginning to weaken somewhat and

:25:05. > :25:09.everything weather front which may just come a little bit closer. With

:25:10. > :25:12.the weak affair by the time we get to the end of the day tomorrow and

:25:13. > :25:16.tomorrow night into Sunday. But what fun it is very limited, there might

:25:17. > :25:20.just be a few showers for West Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

:25:21. > :25:22.keeping into the lower half of Cornwall by Sunday morning.

:25:23. > :25:26.Thereafter it begins to move away again. This is the beautiful Sunday

:25:27. > :25:33.and by Monday the high pressure comes back. For many of us today,

:25:34. > :25:36.we've had glorious, unbroken sunshine. Earlier today myself and

:25:37. > :25:42.our cameraman where guests on board HMS Sutherland. The captain and

:25:43. > :25:47.weekly made us very welcome. We were filming for something we will be

:25:48. > :25:50.looking at next week, but the sky across Plymouth and in Devonport was

:25:51. > :25:54.completely clear of cloud, although there was a keen easterly wind. It's

:25:55. > :25:58.that easterly wind that has been a feature of the weather for the lusty

:25:59. > :26:05.microdata. The headlands on South Coast has felt pretty raw over the

:26:06. > :26:13.last few days. -- feature of the weather for the last few days. A

:26:14. > :26:17.widespread frost overnight with perhaps a bit more of a breeze and

:26:18. > :26:21.more cloud across the far west of Cornwall. Elsewhere, defrost becomes

:26:22. > :26:24.well established by the morning when looking at temperatures starting at

:26:25. > :26:29.minus three, possibly even minus four. The lowest will across parts

:26:30. > :26:33.of Dorset and Somerset. Tomorrow is a different day with more cloud,

:26:34. > :26:38.still plenty of sunshine across the East. The West, the cloud is they

:26:39. > :26:41.can might produce a few showers across the western parts of

:26:42. > :26:50.Cornwall. Temperatures struggling. Rabbit starts of cold and frosty the

:26:51. > :26:54.cloud. The sunshine. -- starting -- where it starts cold and frosty, the

:26:55. > :27:02.cloud will stop the sunshine. Here your of high water. -- your times of

:27:03. > :27:08.high water. There is a wave for our surface, but it's not very big. The

:27:09. > :27:15.wings are lighted tomorrow and into the rest of the weekend. The risk of

:27:16. > :27:19.showers in the West, otherwise there and generally pretty good

:27:20. > :27:21.visibility. More fine weather on Sunday and in fact next week,

:27:22. > :27:25.similar temperatures. We continue with the risk of overnight frost.

:27:26. > :27:35.Have a nice weekend. Spieth Rebecca Wills will be

:27:36. > :27:41.bringing you the late news just after 10:30 this evening with any

:27:42. > :27:52.news updates. From all of us have a lovely weekend.
