Tonight on Spotlight, how much will your council tax be going up? | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Bills are increasing across the region but how much | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
We'll be asking how much more families will be paying | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
is this parking machine a mark of disrespect? | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
This is the site of one of Cornwall's worst mining | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
disasters, but the National Trust has installed a meter as the series | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
And the 1930s white knuckle ride restored | :00:29. | :00:41. | |
Councillors in Devon and Dorset have tonight become the latest to approve | :00:42. | :01:04. | |
It follows Somerset council's decision to increase bills | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
The other local authorities in our region are expected | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
to make similar increases within the next few weeks. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
The reason for the rise, which equates to around ?60 extra | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
on a Band D property, is to help fund care | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
More from our political reporter Anna Varle. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
Many of us have seen small increases in council tax over the last few | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
years to pay for things like bin collections, highways, street and | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
fire, but this year you might notice a change in your built because of | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
social care. Let's go into the kitchen, make you a cup of tea. A | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
task many of us take for granted but Joyce has just returned home from | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
hospital and needs help to get back on her feet. This support has a | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
cost, which is quite local authorities are looking at charging | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
council taxpayers more. If you don't know about them, you might say, | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
fancy putting their council tax up, but when you know the things that | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
you do and the money goes towards, you don't mind so much. Protests | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
took place in Somerset yesterday as councillors said the biggest rise in | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
more than a decade and today it was Dorset and Devon's turn. Today Devon | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
County Council decided to increase council tax by 5%. 2% of that will | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
go on beans, police, fire, 3% will go on social care for the likes of | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
Joyce. What does that mean for you and I? Those in a band D property | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
will pay around ?60 more a year. We have to put in a large amount of | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
money to look after people. It's going through, ?19 million, ?2 | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
million for children's services. Similar increases are expected | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
across the rest of the region in the next few weeks. I think largely | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
people can afford it and social care is central to society you have the | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
health service which is the point of need, social care which is means | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
tested. I think it deserves more funding. I haven't any objection to | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
them putting our council tax up. We will find the money and I believe it | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
is worthwhile. But despite the rise in council tax, local authorities | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
like Devon are still having to make ?23 million in cuts to social | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
services to balance the books. Our political editor | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Martyn Oates is here. This is more evidence of the | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
financial strain on councils. And this won't go away even with big | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
council tax increases, even if they make big savings. A big grievance | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
often is the government grant that councils get, when big local | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
government settlement was announced just before Christmas there were | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
complaints from MPs and council leaders in rural parts of the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
country saying it is unfair and not enough, and we're in strange | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
position this year because most of our major councils, Devon and Dorset | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
and Somerset, setting our budgets a week before the government produces | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
its final settlement, which will be voted on at Westminster next week, | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
so even if the government produces more money, we will be left with | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
this council tax bills, and the government is being blamed for this | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
because it is so late getting on with its side of the bargain because | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
of Brexit arrangements covering through, while councils have a duty | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
to sign of their budgets before the beginning of March. Where I'd | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
councils make those savings? Devon said they would look at better | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
contracts for schools and waste, and services will be provided at home. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
If the government doesn't step in, where are the obvious areas? This is | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
a worsening problem and it tends to affect smaller councils, rural | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
district councils more than the big councils we have been talking about. | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
Some counties are looking at a very radical option, essentially | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
abolishing county and district councils altogether and following | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Cornwall and becoming unitary authorities, so places like | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Dorset is poised to | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
go down that route. If Dorset goes unitary, Devon and Somerset will be | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
the only areas in the whole of the South West sticking to what might be | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
seen as an old-fashioned two-tiered county and district structure, and | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
if we see these other counties go when unitary, the pressure on Devon | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
and Somerset to do the same thing might become quite strong indeed. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Martin, thank you. The questions patients are asked | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
when they phone NHS 111 have been criticised by a caller who says | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
she was left confused and upset. Michelle Perryman rang the service | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
saying she felt violently ill but says what she was asked | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
about her condition was irrelevant. The NHS has apologised, | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
but GPs have told us there are usually valid medical | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
reasons for the questions. Michelle Perryman said she called | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
the NHS non-emergency number But she says during the ten-minute | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
call she was asked too many questions, the wrong questions, | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
and was laughed at. Have you had a head injury | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
in the last seven days? We just need to answer these | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
questions if you don't mind. How many more questions | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
have I got to answer? The computer's asking | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
these questions. I was being asked all the wrong | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
questions and I wasn't Has she suddenly developed | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
a severe headache like If I had been hit by a brick, | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
most people would either be Southwestern Ambulance Service NHS | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Foundation Trust says the brick question was a legitimate question | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
to help identify serious injury. How I was spoken to | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
was so disrespectful. You can actually hear him laughing | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
at me when I told him this. I'm sick to death of | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
answering questions. The trust said the operator's tone | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
was inappropriate where Devon Doctors say many people | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
comment on why there are so many questions asked, but they say | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
patient safety is paramount. The Pathway system is a number | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
of questions developed by clinicians who know how to identify particular | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
conditions and frequently patients phone up with what they think is one | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
problem and by the process of these questions we realised there may be | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
something else and it may be more The Southwest Ambulance Service, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
which no longer runs the 111 service, said call handlers | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
are required to ask a series of questions known as NHS | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
Pathways and the call handler selected the wrong pathway, | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
but even if Mrs Perryman had been asked the correct questions | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
the outcome of the call They said they were sorry | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
for any distress caused. A controversial car park pay machine | :09:08. | :09:21. | |
has been replaced at a Poldark filming site in Cornwall | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
after the original was deliberately pulled out of the ground soon | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
after it was installed. The National Trust is being urged | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
not to enforce new parking charges at Levant mine, where 31 men | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
were killed in a mining I saw a sight I don't want to see | :09:33. | :09:52. | |
again, I think it took three days to recover the whole lot of the men who | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
had been trapped in the shaft. This accident put paid to this mind and | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
now we have today the derelict buildings and that is all that is | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
left of the famous mind which produced over ?2 million worth of | :10:11. | :10:11. | |
war. Well, the National Trust says | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
the money from parking charges will be used to fund | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
the conservation of the site The underground workings of Levant | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
mine extend more than a mile Generations of men sought copper | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
and tin here but the Levant mine disaster in October 1919 was one | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
of the biggest losses of life 31 men were killed when the device | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
to carry them down the shaft failed. Scenes from the first series | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
of Poldark were filmed here. For now, they have enough copper | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
to cope and come the next auction... We will see they come | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
away empty-handed. There has been a 50% | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
increase in visitor That means the footfall | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
has increased here. 70% of those people don't go | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
into the site itself but walk in the local landscape | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
which we also look after. So that increases the maintenance | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
liability and we have an conservation work we need to do | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
to keep the space special. So to pay for it they have put | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
in a parking machine, It will cost us money to replace us, | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
it has already cost us money to replace and that is money | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
we could have used for conservation work, so it is sad there has | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
been that vandalism. Opponents say they don't | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
condone the vandalism but still want to get this machine | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
moved legally and permanently. They make a point about protecting | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
the environment but I would hardly call sticking that parking meter | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
here protecting the environment, and how did they manage | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
for all these decades I suppose it's people like us that | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
are attracted to this place because of Poldark and we have | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
to pay for the upkeep of it. My grandfather was Tom Rowe | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
and he died in the Levant mine disaster but I still think | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
the National Trust need to charge to park here because it's becoming | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
increasingly popular with Poldark. They need money to maintain | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
the roads and the access in and out. With the 100th anniversary | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
of the Levant mine disaster approaching, the National Trust says | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
descendents of the men killed will still be able to come | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
here and park for free. Plans for 185 houses and apartments | :12:30. | :12:42. | |
at the former Dorchester Prison Planning permission for housing | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
at the site was initially refused last August following concerns | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
from nearby residents. But today a revised application | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
for fewer homes was passed. The plans will see the main cell | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
block and gatehouse converted into 60 homes and a further 125 | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
properties in nearby buildings. Leyton Orient captain Liam Kelly has | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
been charged by the FA following an incident when a ball | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
boy was shoved to the ground 27-year-old Kelly has | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
until 6pm tomorrow evening If you have something out | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
of guarantee but which appears to be broken, stay with us - | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
there's a place you can go Following in the footsteps | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
of a master shoe maker - the apprentice keeping | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
a North Devon craft alive. And during the later, when I'll be | :13:32. | :13:43. | |
going supersonic on this 1930s moon rocket ride. | :13:44. | :13:53. | |
A family from Dorset says their Quins are lucky to be alive after | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
suffering a rare disorder in the winter -- in the womb. Only 10% of | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
twins around the world have the condition, when both babies shared | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
the same placenta. Edward Salt reports. | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
At 20 weeks I started getting pain and then we had the devastating news | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
at 22 weeks that we had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
which was very frightening and we didn't know whether the twins | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
Sarah was rushed to hospital in London. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Her twins were in immediate danger and surgeons had 48 hours | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Very frightening, it's the worst day of my life. | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
Henry and Sebastian shared one placenta in Sarah's womb. | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
It meant they weren't getting enough blood and this could be fatal. | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
Only 10-15% of twins suffer from twin-to-twin transfusion | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
syndrome and need laser surgery to save their lives. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
The blood vessels to connect the baby are connecting them | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
in an uneven fashion, so the curative treatment is to put | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
a tiny telescope in, about two millimetres in diameter, | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
and through it we can identify the blood vessels joining the two | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
placentas of the babies and using an even smaller laser | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
fibre through the same telescope, we can block the blood vessels that | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
Individually they may see a couple of dozen cases each year. | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
By pooling all of this data, all their knowledge, | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
they will have a far broader, more in-depth picture of what's | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
successful and where they might be able to make changes to improve | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
Back in Dorset, Sarah and Dan are now looking to their future. | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
We're just very lucky that we've got the two boys and we take every day | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
as it comes to do as much as we can, if we get a chance take them out | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
and enjoy everything that we can with them. | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
And the same goes for Henry and Sebastian, waving goodbye | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
More than 21 million tonnes of household rubbish was collected | :15:59. | :16:09. | |
from bins in Exeter last year - but how much of that waste | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
In an effort to tackle the number of broken items that | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
are just thrown away, rather than fixed, | :16:18. | :16:18. | |
a repair caf is launching in the city this weekend. | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Clare Woodling has been to investigate. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
An unfashionable maxim in 2017 at once espoused | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
Don't want to throw it away, I want to keep my stuff forever if I can. | :16:32. | :16:45. | |
I know that's not feasible but as long as I can, | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
Jude is the driving force behind a repairer cafe launching | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
It's designed to stop fixable items going to landfill. | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
Some repairs can be fiddly and I brought one of my own | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
There's a hole in the sleeve of my brown jacket. | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
I would sew it up by hand with some strong thread and small stitches | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
because you cannot get at it with a sewing machine. | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
People can bring their faulty electricals as well as broken | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
Bikes with flat tyres or brakes that don't work are welcome. | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
I think what they might do is put in the back of their garage for six | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
or 12 months and then take it to the tip, whereas if they repaired | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
it today they could use it again tomorrow and enjoy the fresh air. | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
There will even be a potter doing ceramic repairs | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
The ?2000 community grant has been awarded by Exeter Council | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
to pay for consumables like batteries and thread. | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
A lot of the items that get brought to me are items that could last | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
a lot longer but unfortunately we live in a world of planned | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
obsolescence where a lot of things are built with a weak link in it, | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
It's no deterrent for the repairers, who say no job is too big or too | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
small, and Jude says that shops may want to sell, | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
Six years ago I bought some leather chairs and the front of them had | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
started to peel off and I went to the manufacturer and said | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
I hadn't had these very long, they're leather, and he says five | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
That's it, five years, throw them away, buy a new one. | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
Such a good idea. We all throw things away far too easily and too | :18:38. | :18:53. | |
quickly. Now, across the South West many people are keeping traditional | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
crafts alive but there are fears those skills could disappear unless | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
young people are encouraged to take them up. | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
Well, one young woman from North Devon is | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
learning at the feet - quite literally - | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
The leather and vegan shoes, boots and sandals are handmade to order | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Spotlight's Andrea Ormsby has the story. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
26-year-old Polly Collins is learning from an expert. | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
Try to do longer sweeps with the knife. | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
That's right, because you were slightly chopping into it. | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
The difficulty and why we need funding for craft skills | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
There is the 10,000 hour theory for learning any new skill. | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
Three more years at the feet of a master. | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
Funding for the apprenticeship comes from the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
It's a really fantastic opportunity and it's really nice to be | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
I think it will be a really great few years and I'll learn a lot. | :19:58. | :20:10. | |
I'm just really looking forward to it. | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
It's not easy running a small business and this is a massive help | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
because for me it's an act of faith training someone because it costs | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
a lot of money and time and effort and so this is a huge boost for me | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
personally, it validates my choice in politics but the people at Quest | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
also thought she was high calibre and had the staying power | :20:31. | :20:32. | |

She performs a bit of magic, I think, especially the ability | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
to turn such two-dimensional material into this three-dimensional | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
thing that fits people really well and lasts for such an incredible | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
It's a really amazing thing and it's very inspiring. | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
Do you have to wear the shoes to work here? | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
I can't say I really wear any other shoes anymore. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Once you start wearing them, every other shoe feels | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
Polly is an apprentice shoemaker and says it will be a good few | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
years before she can drop the word apprentice. | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
Now, you may remember last summer we reported on a fundraising | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
campaign to save the last surviving 1930s Moonrocket fairground ride? | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
Well, the money was raised and this week the white knuckle ride opened | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
So we sent Johnny Rutherford along for some antique theme park thrills. | :21:50. | :21:59. | |
Before the space race, there was Moonrocket. | :22:00. | :22:30. | |
This was the fastest ride at the time, 1938, | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
and it was a sensation, it was the fastest ride and that | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
was an immediate hit with the public. | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
The Moonrocket represents an era on the fairgrounds when | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
speed, thrills and excitement were in vogue. | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
It's one of the original white knuckle rides. | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
Space travel was science-fiction, it hadn't been | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
invented, it hadn't happened yet, so it was artistic license how you | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
portrayed space travel, so it was artists' | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
space travel possibly was in the future. | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
This version, one of less than 20 ever made, was ordered by | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
After much fundraising, Dingles Fairground | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
Heritage Centre bought it for ?175,000 to house it undercover | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
I thought it was really fun because it's really fast. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
When you go really fast and you can tilt the cars. | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
It was quite frightening but it wasn't too bad. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
When I had a go, they racked it up to top speed. | :23:35. | :23:43. | |

Maybe from the 1930s but it still has the power to thrill. We have | :23:50. | :24:04. | |
fond memories of being there, eight Children in Need outside broadcast | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
their many years ago. Let's see what the weather is doing across the | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
south-west. Not too much of a roller-coaster there were otherwise. | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
A nice springlike day although technically it is still winter and | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
I've been spoiled for photos, this lovely one coming in looking across | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
to Plymouth, another one of sunshine here and a nice day has led to a | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
nice evening. A glorious sunset, are cameraman Jeff was driving along the | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
aged 38 near Chudleigh and you can see a glorious end to the day. Any | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
of you have sent your photos in the sunset and I am collecting those for | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
the late news. Red sky at night can prophesy is an nice day but that | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
will be not so much the case in this instance, but it is mild. This is | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
just a week ago, highs of 5 degrees for many of us, skip forward seven | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
days and we are looking at 12 and 13, so a different feel. Tomorrow we | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
keep this Mountfield but we have some mist and fog at first, it will | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
be cloudy with a risk of showery rain later. We have high pressure | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
bringing this risk of mist and fog, some fine conditions that weather | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
fronts introduce a bit more cloud with the risk of a little rain here | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
and there but not too much, a decent amount of dry weather. The we have | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
starry skies initially that could allow some mist and fog patches due | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
form and some low cloud. Temperatures of five, six, 7 degrees | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
but there is the chance of a touch of frost. Tomorrow morning you might | :25:55. | :26:03. | |
catch a bit of fog and Dorset and we have more chance of hill fog, also | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
some showery rain but not too much, the bulk of tomorrow should be | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
largely dry and mild with temperatures up to 13 degrees but a | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
brisk wind for western areas and the Isles of Scilly will have a brisk | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
wind. Cloudy, a risk of showery rain and these are the times of high | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
water tomorrow. These are the ways for our surfers, the biggest along | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
the north coast, generally clean conditions with the wind coming in | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
from a southerly direction. A bit smaller along the south coast, wind | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
strop lighter but choppy out to the West as the breeze comes in. This is | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
the coastal waters forecast, winds occasionally getting up to six in | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
the West. They have risk of rain or drizzle that will reduce the | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
visibility to moderate or poor, rough at times in the West. Although | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
this looks very grey, there are some good things to say about the weather | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
in the next few days. Where'd you get sunshine it will feel nice, | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
winds are fairly light, mostly dry through the weekend although you | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
could see a little rain and areas like the north-east of Dartmoor are | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
most likely to see the sunshine coming through, and where it does it | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
will feel a bit like spring. We can't do with too much excitement, | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
that looks fine to us. That is all from Spotlight this evening. The | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
late news is just after 10:30pm. Join us then if you can. Good night. | :27:46. | :27:58. | |
Two challenges await you today, and our genre is Landscape. | :27:59. | :28:30. | |
The conditions are a wee bit challenging. | :28:31. | :28:32. | |
I've really got to convince the judges | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
It's colourful - but it was meant to be muted. | :28:39. | :28:41. |
