Good evening - On Spotlight tonight, the smugglers caught | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
With a street value of ?84 million, this fishing boat was | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Tonight three men have been convicted. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
We report on the huge operation to catch them. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Also in the programme tonight - plans to improve Cornwall's highways | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
four years after a woman died in a landslide. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
How many times do we listen on the TV and we hear this? It's too late. | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
If that was the case they would have been here the day after the inquest. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
People saying more needs to be done to make sure it doesn't happen | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
again. On a mission - the youngsters | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
in Cornwall broadcasting their message on BBC | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
school report day. And from motor bikes to ballet, | :00:51. | :00:51. | |
we'll meet the ballerina getting ready to kick start | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Sleeping Beauty in Cornwall. It's one of Britain's biggest | :00:55. | :01:15. | |
ever cocaine seizures - more than a tonne of the drug | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
was found aboard a fishing boat off Today the skipper | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
has been convicted. Two other men had already pleaded | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
guilty to drug importation offences. The jury at Bristol Crown Court | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
was told the drugs had a street value of nearly 84 million pounds. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
All three will be sentenced next month. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
Duncan Kennedy reports. This red trawler is packed | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
with cocaine, left and right, It's the middle of | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
the English Channel One of them describes | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
what's happening. The vessel hopefully | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
didn't know we were there, We didn't at the time know how many | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
people were on board, who they were. It took less than five | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
minutes to take control The biggest seizure of cocaine | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
in Britain in 2016. One tonne, the street | :02:06. | :02:15. | |
value - ?84 million. There was no physical | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
resistance at the time. This undercover Border Force agent | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
was there and told me breaking up It's no mean feat, it's not | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
for the faint-hearted. Your adrenaline is running | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
at the time and you want to get your feet firmly planted on the deck | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
as quickly as possible. Michael McDermott, David Pleasants | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
and Gerald Van De Kooij were the three men on the trawler | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
and are now convicted It's important, ?84 million | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
at street level value but that's millions and millions of wraps that | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
would have been in the hands We've saved people from harm here, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
we've saved some lives. Training for mid-sea | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
operations is rarely seen. But so important has this one been, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
the Home Office gave us special The only way Border Force | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
or the National Crime Agency could stop the gang involved | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
is because they had access to fast boats, helicopters | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
and cutters like the Vigilant. Put all that together and it's | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
no wonder that the NCA and Border Force are describing this | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
as such a success. By combining all their resources, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
they made one of the biggest ever seizures of cocaine | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
in British waters. But the British coastline | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
is around 8,000 miles long. So what can the handful | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
of cutters on patrol do? The captain says they can | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
still send a powerful message I want this to be recognised | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
by the opposition as hurting their business. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
We've got one advantage in the UK, is that we are | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
surrounded by the sea. And we're trying our best to make | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
a good job and I think The trawler, the Bianca, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
is to be sold, the cocaine found But all the agencies involved know | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
it won't stop the South American drugs trade and their vigilance | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
will be tested again. Time now for some other news | :04:16. | :04:31. | |
from across the south west. The former Plymouth-based Royal | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Marine Alexander Blackman, who fatally shot an injured Taliban | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
fighter in Afghanistan, His murder conviction was reduced | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
at the Court Martial Health bosses have refused | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
to overturn a decision to temporarily close beds | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
at Holsworthy hospital. It was standing room only | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
at a public meeting last night when around 500 people got | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
the chance to voice their concerns. Campaigners fear it could lead | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
to its permanent closure. Bosses say they're | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
looking at all options. The first bus has driven past | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
a new bus gate in Truro, despite a campaign by some locals, | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
angry at claims 140 buses would pass Cornwall Council says the new | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
junction will take 90 buses away from the Threemilestone Roundabout | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
and shorten journey times A decision is expected within days | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
which could lead to the biggest shake-up in the way Dorset is run | :05:26. | :05:37. | |
for a generation. The government is considering | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
whether to get rid of nine councils and replace them | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
with two unitary authorities. It would be roughly an east-west | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
split with one authority delivering all local government services | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
to the more urban areas like Bournemouth - | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
while another operates across the much bigger and more | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
rural west of the county. Cornwall of course went down | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
the same road some time ago. Our Political Reporters | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
in Dorset and Cornwall - Tristan Pascoe and Tamsin Melville - | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
have been for a walk with their dogs in both counties to find out | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
what the changes would mean. Dorset may be about to follow | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
in the footsteps of Cornwall. Here, ten years ago, all the talk | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
was about replacing seven councils So if the government decides | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
they can do something similar here in Dorset, | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
are there lessons to be learned from Cornwall? | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
A question for you, Tamsin. Bin collections, street | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
cleaning and dog waste - back in 2009, there were concerns | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
the Council changes would have an impact on local services | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
and that they would have an impact on the sense of identity | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
of places like Penzance. Penzance was at the heart | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
of what was Penwith District Council and Jim McKenna, now a Cornwall | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
councillor, was once Certainly, there are some advantages | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
to having the whole of Cornwall's You've got more consistency in terms | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
of identifying where development should be across Cornwall rather | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
than simply seeing things I think that's really, | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
really helpful. Some of the fears of people | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
at the time have been borne out. There are still too many | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
decisions taken in Truro. There's no control, for example, | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
over things like car park fees which is a real issue | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
for the business community. And I think it is difficult | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
when you're jostling for space with another 122 councillors, | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
to get your voice heard. If the population, human or canine | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
is all mixed together in a much more centralised system, | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
do some people get left out? Lyme Regis is on the | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
edge of West Dorset. It's not exactly headline news | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
here but if the District Council is packed away, then there are fears | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
about what could be lost. There's a togetherness now | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
in the area of West Dorset. And it would be a shame if we expand | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
beyond those boundaries. As long as any unitary authority | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
doesn't affect what we have here, the degree of autonomy the town | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Council have, I don't think people are going to worry too much | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
about who was controlling what and where they are | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
controlling it from. We're very short of money, | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
were strapped for cash and people like myself and others want more | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
and more services. There was a huge amount of dissent | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
to the plans in Cornwall and the same is true of some | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
councils in east Dorset which have rejected the idea amid fears | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
the urban areas of Bournemouth and Poole will spill | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
over to Christchurch. I don't think you get quite as good | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
a service down this part as mainly North Cornwall and further upwards, | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
more noticeable, as I think they can to put the money where they think | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
they can attract more money. I haven't really noticed | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
the difference, I've lived here for a long time and it hasn't | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
really made a vast difference. The control might change slightly, | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
a bigger unitary trust, but generally, as an individual, | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
as a Cornish person, The idea of making new friends | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
in the delivery of local services is principally that it saves money, | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
possibly more than ?100 million over the first six years | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
if Dorset gets the go-ahead. It's not clear how much has | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
been saved in Cornwall and Dr Darren Lilleker | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
of Bournemouth University says there are no guarantees the way | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
central government funding is calculated will stay the same | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
if the setup changes. How much money are | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
they going to give? Is it all coming locally | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
or from government? How will the grants | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
work for the Council? And so will the money | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
that is being saved by all these councillors' jobs being lost, | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
will that then go straight into public services? | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
We don't know if that's the case. Sniffing out the perfect | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
solution is not easy, a trade-off perhaps over | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
whether your local beaches are more or less likely to be cleaned | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
and how well represented you are if you want | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
to complain about it. But soon, there will be answers, | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
as there were in Cornwall. Changes to the way Cornwall's road | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
network is managed have been introduced following the death | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
of a woman in a landslide in Looe. Susan Norman was crushed | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
to death four years ago. An inquest said the council should | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
have known there was a "real Today the council said | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
lessons had been learned from Susan Norman's death. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
Christine Butler reports. Sandplace Road in Looe - | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
March, 2017. Cornwall Council stabilising the | :10:26. | :10:41. | |
slope. And this is why. But years earlier, a scene of devastation. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Grandmother Susan Norman was killed in bed when tonnes of earth | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
Today, Cornwall's cabinet met to discuss the problem. | :10:50. | :11:09. | |
Today, we've agreed some changes to the way in which we will manage | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
and maintain our road network in the future. | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
This is in response to the new national code of practice | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
for managing highways infrastructure which was published | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
We've also taken the opportunity provided by this review to take | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
account of the lessons learned from the inquest into the tragic | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
BLEEP It's clear the Council is carrying | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
work out on the residents say it's not the right action to protect | :11:40. | :11:40. | |
their homes and their safety. If they do everything | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
they say on that document, it'll be quite a positive thing | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
in my opinion but we've still got to make sure that we ensure | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
that the things are actually being done and it's not | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
just being paved over. But they are trying to say | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
that they've done it already and they haven't. | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Nothing at all has been done since the inquest. | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
No, no, I agree. No extra drainage, no tree curbing | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
down the back of the whole length of the properties | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
which was recommended. It's not been done, nothing has been | :12:10. | :12:10. | |
done since the inquest. We've all been living in the houses, | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
under the same conditions They are not convinced by the new | :12:14. | :12:31. | |
code of practice. The Council says it has taken out improvements in | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Susan's death. It says it will install additional drainage systems | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
in the autumn when the summer season has finished. | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
Saddle up - we're off to the races in a moment and we'll be handing | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
over our reins to the teenagers taking part in school report. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
We'll also find out if the weather is going to be stable. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
And you can see from the satellite picture the skies | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
Colder tonight and turning unsettled as we head towards the week. | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
Half of the horses involved in tomorrow's Cheltenham Gold Cup | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
Most of the chatter is about Colin Tizzard, | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
the fairy tale of the farmer whose stables get bigger | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
Tizzard has two of the favourites for the race - | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Cue Card and Native River. So what's his secret? | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
Alastair Durden has been to his stables | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
Work starts before sunrise at the stables in Milborne Port. | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
Just keep in a straight line, nice and steady trot. | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
Colin Tizzard leads a thriving yard - it's earned ?1.5 million in prize | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
There is still an air of modesty about the former dairy | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
farmer who's become one of Britain's leading trainers. | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
A short drive from his stables are the picturesque gallops, | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
He's come a long way since getting his licence back in 1998. | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
It's not an easy profession, I tell you that. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
It's every morning, seven days a week, every day | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
of the year to be fair, so it's not easy. | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
But I've got to try to make sure I enjoy every bit of it. | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
The last ten years, it got out of control and you have to deal | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
with a lot of staff, you've got to delegate, | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
If a good horse comes up and someone half makes some remark | :14:33. | :14:42. | |
that they wouldn't mind another one, we've got to do it. | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
If you don't take it on straightaway, someone else | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
will buy that horse. Colin admits he's still getting | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
used to the spotlight his successors created. | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
But his story is one racing has fallen in love with. | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
It's been a tremendous rise from relative obscurity | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
and the fact that this story is here in the grassroots | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
of the British countryside, it's fantastic for the sport. | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
Those hours of milking cows are now a thing of the past. | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
And he's right at the top of the tree. | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
12 months ago, this fall denied Cue Card and Tizzard Gold Cup glory | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
and the hugely popular 11-year-old has picked himself up to have | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
And then there is Native River who has taken everyone by surprise. | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
We thought if we just had a horse good enough to run in the Gold Cup | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
it would be quite an achievement, and to suddenly find it's favourite, | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
As for Colin Tizzard, he's refusing to pick his favourite. | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
Whatever the result, he'll be back in the yard first | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
light on Saturday to start all over again. | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
We've spent much of today looking over our shoulders ad hoping | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
We've spent much of today looking over our shoulders and hoping | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
we've still got jobs, as we get to meet potential stars | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
It's School Report Day when teenagers have a go | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
at reporting the news. This year it's had quite an impact. | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
One group of youngsters from St Austell have made | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
it their mission to try and help the people of Sierra Leone. | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
They've filmed their fundraising, but rather than us telling | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
you about their efforts, let's hand you over to Bella | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
For BBC School Report, I'm reporting from Penrice Academy | :16:30. | :16:47. | |
where this year, we raised over ?12,000 in just four weeks | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
This year, at Penrice Academy, our mission is to send a donation | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
box container of clothes, books, toys and medical equipment | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
to children in Kissi Town in Sierra Leone for project 3580. | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
Mr Knight who works with Project 3580, told us in assembly | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
all about the children in Kissi Town. | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
As a school, we were really affected by this story | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
and were proud to do our part. So what is Project 3580? | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Project 3580 is a charity set up by a former colleague of mine | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
helping people in Kissi Town in Sierra Leone. | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
The name of the project - 3580 - comes from the amount of children | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
by the age of ten that died in acamp of 12,000 from malaria. | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
So 3,580 children died from malaria at the age of ten in just one year. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
It all started with a fun run to raise money for a shipping | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
container to be sent from Cornwall to Sierra Leone, which is one of | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Today, we're out here to raise money for Penrice Academy Project 3580. | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
We've had loads of students, over half the school has come out | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
on the run for this great cause and we think that we've raised | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
We raised over ?12,000 in just four weeks. | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
In Penrice Academy, staff and students decorated this donation | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
box and it's already been filled once to the top by the | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
I spoke to Dennis, pastor of the school in Kissi Town to hear | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
more about how fundraising will help the children. | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
How are you? I'm good, thank you. | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
Thank you for the hard work. I know it's very hard. | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
You work very hard to support us here. | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
There is a long way to go and a big container to fill but it's amazing | :18:30. | :18:42. | |
to hear how students at Penrice are changing young lives, | :18:43. | :18:44. | |
especially from the children of Kissi Town themselves. | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
You will definitely get footballs. Are you sure? | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
Yes. OK, thank you. | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
I promise the footballs. OK. | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
This is Bella for BBC School Report, Penrice Academy, Cornwall. | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
Bella is in the studio. Thank you for coming in. Did you forget the | :18:56. | :19:06. | |
footballs? I definitely won't forget them! Television is such a powerful | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
instrument for getting your message across, particularly for | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
fundraising, did you enjoy the experience? It was amazing and I | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
would love to have a job when I'm older in TV so it was an amazing | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
experience. Your head boy, what did you find... It must have been easy | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
view? It was far from easy at times because we had constant challenges | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
and we had to make sure people were bringing their money in on time for | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
the fun run on so many things could have gone wrong. But it went | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
perfectly smoothly on the day. You had an exam today? What was it? | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
English literature. It went fine. You are doing English, do you want | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
to do journalism as a career? Not particularly that I'd quite like to | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
go into medicine. This has been a fantastic opportunity today to | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
experience a different job. Were there any scraps or fight over who | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
did what? Who would present, produce? I don't think so, we all | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
kind of knew what we wanted to do and we all slotted in perfectly. You | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
look very calm and collected, Bella, did you take to it naturally? Yes, I | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
love acting and being in the spotlight so it was nice being on | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
camera. We are constantly told young people like you get their news and | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
information not from television buck from things like Facebook and | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
Twitter and is that how you get it? Quite regularly. That's why we set | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
up a Facebook page for our project. The project is everywhere online so | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
we can raise awareness. Television is still very important now! Our job | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
is very hard, isn't it? I found that out today! Quite a lot of pressure | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
on you guys. Can you tell everyone that?! | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
And if you'd like to find out more about BBC School Report including | :21:03. | :21:06. | |

Hundreds of dancers from across Cornwall are in final | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
rehearsals for a production of Sleeping Beauty. | :21:20. | :21:29. | |
The Duchy Ballet cast includes an 18-ear-old ballerina who's | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
just been awarded a place at the prestigous Romberre School. | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
Alabama Seymour from Truro also rides motorbikes - sideways! | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
This report on ballet and bikes from David George. | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
Duchy Ballet in the studio dress rehearsal for the performance. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
In the red costume is Alabama Seymour from Chasewater. | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
When she's not rehearsing or studying at college, | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
she performs in her family's Wall of Death show. | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
My parents own the Demon Drone Wall of Death. | :22:02. | :22:10. | |
My dad and my brother are the main riders but I also sit | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
Soon, Alabama will be off to the world-famous rum | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
It's incredible, I was so over the moon. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
I didn't expect to get in. Hopefully, it means one day I'll be | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
in the Romberre Company which will be my dream. | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
Alabama and the 100 dancers from Cornwall have now been | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
joined by Princess Aurora, the sleeping beauty herself | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
and Prince Desiree. Professional principal | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
dancers who have come to Cornwall from South Africa. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
I think the kids are always so enthusiastic and I love helping | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
out wherever I can and it's really great working with younger kids. | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
I think always working with children especially, | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
they get very excited which is lovely to see | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
but you don't always know what's going to happen on the night. | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
But we work with kids all the time in Cape Town and I even | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
remember when I was a child, I used to love doing this sort of | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
thing and it was so inspirational, so I hope to do the same thing | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
for them and be something they can look up to hopefully. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
The dancers are aged from seven to... | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Well, a lot older. Darcy is one of the youngest. | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
I just like dancing, because I quite like it | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
because you get to do a lot of moves and stuff and you get to perform | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
on stage and I quite like performing in front of lots of people. | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
Lots of people will be watching Sleeping Beauty at the Hall | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
for Cornwall in Truro tomorrow and Saturday. | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
Isn't Ballet gorgeous? It's stunning. It's time for the weather | :23:58. | :24:20. | |
forecast. David is here, is the weather looking good? | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
Not brilliant to be honest! It's looking all right for tomorrow. | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
Tomorrow probably a much better day than we would be used to with all of | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
this low cloud and mist. But it may be just the one day because the | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
weekend, a bit of change coming. This was the sunshine in Cornwall | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
this afternoon. Glorious shot of the daffodils growing. Other parts of | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
the south-west have been very grave. Fog and mist causing all sorts of | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
problems. That is all about to change. The reason is because we've | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
got a cold weather front coming in this evening that will introduce and | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
has started already, clearer skies and lower temperatures and better | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
visibility. A bright and dry start tomorrow, it will cloud over and | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
some patchy rain later in the day. Most of the day will be dry. Lots of | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
rain to the north of us but very slowly coming south. A largely dry | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
day mostly. Saturday, doesn't look too hopeful. Sunday is similar with | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
another weather front approaching from the west to give further | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
outbreaks of rain. Satellite pictures showing two stripes of | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
cloud, this is the one with all of the low cloud in it moving to | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
central parts of Britain. That is already clearing from parts of | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
Cornwall. The next one, the main front has a hint of blue and will | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
come through fairly swiftly this evening. Some rain out of that, that | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
pushes through and then it clears up in the second half of the night | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
which will drop the temperature. It will be much colder than it was last | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
night. We have been used to mild nights so far this week. We start | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
the day tomorrow morning, a few places at three degrees, even called | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
an affray touch of frost. Tomorrow, the best of the sunshine will be in | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
tomorrow morning and it will generally cloud over. With a top | :26:26. | :26:35. | |
temperature of ten or 11 degrees. More of a breeze, it will feel | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
colder. The Isles of Scilly will have some brief brightness and some | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
patchy rain turning up. Turning quite windy also. | :26:44. | :26:53. | |
Like we've seen all week, the waves pretty big Fathauer surface. | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
Tomorrow, much more of a breeze so the surf and waves will be there but | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
not as clean as they have been. Pretty messy conditions. That is the | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
coastal waters forecast. Not a lot of cheer in the weekend | :27:10. | :27:23. | |
forecast. Lots of cloud, slightly less cold, 13, top temperature. | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
Quite breezy at times. Have a good evening. | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
That's all from us. The late news will be at 10:30pm. Goodnight. | :27:33. | :27:47. | |
It was the most beautiful view I've ever been through. | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
For one second, I was swimming on my back, and I was looking to the sky. | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
I was swimming across the Aegean Sea. | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
I was a refugee, going from Syria to Germany. | :28:04. | :28:19. | |
MasterChef is back, to find the country's best home chef. | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
The MasterChef kitchen is alive once more. Come on, let's go! | :28:24. | :28:28. |
