Hello. so it's goodbye from me - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On Spotlight tonight: the political party which has pulled | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Mebyon Kernow, which campaigns for Cornish independence, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
has announced it won't be fielding any candidates. | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
When we are told when the election will be and it is suddenly moved | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
forward three years with hardly any notice and we are fighting local | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
contests it just makes it a nonsense of democracy from local cashback for | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
smaller parties. Also tonight, a man admits drink | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
driving when he smashed into a teenager at about 60 | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
miles an hour. Ruby Tuesday Hobbs was seriously | :00:34. | :00:35. | |

the scores of tractors that lay A clearer picture is emerging | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
tonight of which parties will be fielding candidates | :00:46. | :01:10. | |
in the South West for Nominations closed just over an hour | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
ago, but one party won't be Yes, the Cornish political party | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Mebyon Kernow is out of the race already after deciding not to stand | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
in any of the seats in Cornwall The party campaigns | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
for a Cornish Assembly, but says the short notice | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
of the campaign and exhaustion after the local elections means it | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
won't putting up any Our political reporter | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Tamsin Melville has been talking Approaching 70 years in business, | :01:37. | :01:52. | |
back in its early days as a pressure group signing up to Mebyon Kernow | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
was apparently seen as the thing to do, attracting means like Daphne du | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
Maurier. But for -- but any electoral success has only been a | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
local council level. Since 1970s the party for Cornwall has been fielding | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
parties for Westminster seats. Not this time, a decision based on the | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
snap election, exhaustion and lack of cash. It is extremely | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
frustrating, we want to put our message out there for the people of | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Cornwall but do it in our fairway and when we are told when the | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
election will be and it is suddenly moved forward three years with no | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
notice, it makes a nonsense of democracy for smaller parties. This | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
is the heart of Cornwall 's Clay country where Mebyon Kernow won the | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
popular vote at the local elections and returned to that of its | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
forecourt rush -- Cornwall councillors, but at the general | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
election it has been a far more gloomy picture. It fielded a full | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
slate of six candidates had lost all of its deposits. In 2015 it only | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
garnered 6000 votes. What is the point in standing in the general | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
election anyway? Just because people don't vote for as general elections | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
does not mean they do not like what we stand for, but this time it just | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
wasn't practical for us to put forward a really strong campaign in | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
such a short period. It is not just Mebyon Kernow stepping away, here in | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Cornwall UK buyer only fielding one candidate and that is intro in | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Falmouth where there was a remain Conservative MP and the Greens are | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
only fielding in some places, and not in St Ives when it is the most | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
marginal seat in the battle between the Conservatives and Lib Dems. What | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
do voters think about having less choice at the ballot box? It is good | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
to have a strong opposition and the only way to get the strong | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
opposition as if it is one of the major parties and I don't think that | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
the major parties should lose votes to the very small parties. There are | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
a lot of important issues at stake, so it is better just to have the | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
main parties standing. Especially going through Brexit. It is a pity | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
that some people had fought for the people they would like to vote for. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Mebyon Kernow's leader said it is not the end of the party contesting | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
seats in general elections and the aim is to keep the other parties on | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
their toes in the meantime. Our political editor is with me now. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
And much of a surprise visit to see Mebyon Kernow bowing out? It is a | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
surprise and it will be unusual not having them play some role in the | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
election. Tamsin pointed out that in the last two elections pasted a full | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
slate of candidates, and that was a bit of a high water mark for them. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
They had stayed in general elections previously but not in every seat. We | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
also saw some memorabilia from the early days of a party. It is the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
case that MK members was -- where elected to Parliament but standing | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
for other parties. To begin with it was a very broad movement and you | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
could be a prominent conservative or liberal and a member of MK and | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
people wear. I'd like interesting to see other parties making strategic | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
withdrawals in some places. This is one of the big stories of the | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
election campaign so far, to come back to MK defray the have made it | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
clear that in withdrawing the not implicitly or explicitly endorsing | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
either party, the opposite is the case when it comes to you kept in | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
the greens. Both mentioned by Kansan. In Ukip's case they are | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
clearly hoping to help Conservative candidates and they are choosing | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
candidates who supported the leave campaign in EU referendum. They | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
don't want to hinder their successes. But they are standing | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
candidates against former Conservative MPs who campaign for | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
remain. The opposite for the Greens, they look at seats like St Ives | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
where the Conservatives won by a narrow margin, they want to minimise | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
the opposition to the Conservatives now. This is what the parties want | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
to happen. Whether the voters will do that of course cannot be given | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
for granted. One Conservative candidate said he wanted the Ukip | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
candidates to stand because he was worried if he didn't then a lot of | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
those votes will go back to the Lib Dems would he did not want to see. | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
Ready to keep an eye on. And don't forget, there's a BBC | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Spotlight Election debate coming up and we're looking for people to be | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
in the audience The programme will be | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
on Tuesday 30th of May take part, please email spotlight | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
at bbc.co.uk and we'll send A man accused of killing his ex | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
partner's two-year-old son has told A Bulgarian man accused | :06:28. | :06:40. | |
of murdering his former partner in Exeter says he accidentally | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
searched online to find out how long 43-year-old Kostadin Kostov, | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
denies murdering hotel worker Gergana Prodanova last August | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
and packing her body in a suitcase before dumping it | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
on a railway embankment. Hamish Marshall reports | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
from Exeter Crown Court. Gergana, just before she died. Today | :06:53. | :07:08. | |
her former partner claimed she was part of Ukraine that the setting up | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
to commit a murder. -- for committing a murder. Mr Kostov was | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
asked about the following set of his iPhone, how long does it take for | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
human body to decompose. He said he was trying to find out how long this | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
takes drugs to decompose in the human body but he had missed out. | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
There was a large search for the housekeeper, who had started a | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
relationship with another Bulgarian man. The prosecution began the cross | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
examination with a series of forthright questions. You killed | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Kostov, the defendant answered no. You cut her clothing from her body, | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
again the answer was no. You played on that clothing. Maybe, said Mr | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Kostov. You put the clothing had with other rubbish. No. You took our | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
money. No. You kept her phone. Though I didn't. It was the railway | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
embankment here on land of Blackall Road where every Mac's body was | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
found packed in a suitcase. He caught were shown CCTV pictures of a | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
man wearing a baseball cap cracking a case from the area where Kostov | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
lived towards this direction. His barrister asked him, the prosecution | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
see you at the man in the baseball cap, he said not true. She then said | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
to you know who the man in the baseball cap is? He replied zero. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
Kostov denied using Gergana's phone for media posts to make it look as | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
though she was still alive. A man accused of killing his ex | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
partner's two-year-old son has told a court he loved him and was never | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
violent towards him. Joseph Eke, from Weymouth, denies | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
murdering Harry House last May. 22-year-old Joseph each is accused | :08:51. | :09:04. | |
of punching or clicking treaty -year-old Harry house at the home | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
they shared in Dorset. He is also accused of wounding Harry's face at | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Easter and causing fractured ribs in the week before his death. Today he | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
told the court he was ahead in -- a heroin and crack addict but he did | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
love the toddler. The QC who is defending Joseph asked them if you | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
take care of him, if he fed him or take the boy out. Replied by saying | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
yes, I enjoyed doing it. I did love him, he said. Under | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
cross-examination the version of events was different to what he had | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
given in police interviews. He told the prosecutor, I got muddled up. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
When asked why he told the father 's mother not to call the ambulance he | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
said I thought he was just going to be sick or something. When it was | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
put to him it is because he did not want anyone to know what he had | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
done, he said no. The jury were shown CCTV of justice and Harry's | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
mother in July two months after Harry's death. His excavation for | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
assaulting Harry's mother was I was a heroin addict, crackhead. That is | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
what my life revolved around, he said. She would not give me money to | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
score heroin. Harry's face and body were covered in bruises. He suffered | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
serious internal injuries and bleeding. Eke said Harry called him | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
daddy JoJo and he would not harm him. | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
A teenager who was severely injured by a drunk driver has become a | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
prisoner in her own home according to her aunt. Ruby Tuesday hold was | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
stopped at high speed and spent Christmas in hospital. Today Ashley | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
God will walk free from court after pleading guilty to dangerous | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
driving. He was given bail and will be sentenced later this month. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Outside Plymouth Magistrates' Court where he admitted causing serious | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
injury by dangerous driving. At about 630 on Christmas Eve the blue | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
BMW he was driving crashed through the central reservation by | :11:25. | :11:28. | |

Ruby Tuesday Hobbs who had to be cut free from railings. Both of her legs | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
were broken. To see photos of she was crushed, the railings on her | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
leg, she was lucky to be alive. She has been in her bedroom for five | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
months. She has lost so much weight and is in horrific pain. The court | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
heard that 27-year-old God but was twice over the legal drink-drive | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
limit had a previous conviction for drink-driving. Ruby has been a | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
prisoner in her own bedroom and he has been allowed to go out and work | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
and drink and have a social life, why -- whereas she doesn't have a | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
social life any more. Is lawyer said he was extremely remorseful and | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
deeply regret his actions, he was remanded on unconditional bail for | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
sentencing at Crown Court later this month. | :12:20. | :12:20. | |
Now a brief roundup of other stories making the news in the South West. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
A Somerset Council has set up its own housing company and plans | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
But they won't be building council homes, instead they plan to sell | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
on the open market and use the profits to pay for other | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Plymouth scientists have been awarded almost three million pounds | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
to look at how new technology could improve healthcare | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
Ideas include using robots to provide comfort and drones | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
to deliver medical supplies to rural areas. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
An investigation into the collapse of a crane in Falmouth | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
is continuing today, overseen by the docks' management | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
The crane crashed to the ground yesterday morning and one | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
A full health and safety investigation will now take place. | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
One of the driest winters in recent memory is causing nesting problems | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
The RSPB is urging people to make damp mud | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
available for summer migrating birds that need it to build | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
If you've been into Exeter recently you might have noticed some | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
big walls being put up along sections of the River Exe. | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
They're new flood defences and they should protect | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
the city for years to come, but some people are worried | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
about the way they look, even though the Environment Agency | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Exeter's new flood defences are taking shape. | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
Work on the multi-million pound scheme is forging ahead, | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
and however you look at it either from the air or right | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
down on on the ground, this is a big undertaking which some | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
see as a potential eyesore in the making. | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
32 and half million pounds is buying an awful lot of civil engineering, | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
along a seven and a half kilometre stretch of the River Exe. | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
Here at Exe bridges you might be forgiven for thinking that things | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
look a little bit like Berlin before the fall of the wall, | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
however we are assured that in time all of this area will be landscaped | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
and things will look much more attractive. | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
I don't really like them, I think the of the river | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
and we are obviously used to coming down here and seeing everything | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
It blocks the view, you can see it from that side. | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
I think it looks half finished at the moment. | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
Exeter has flooded before, in 1960, after which the flood | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
There has been minor flooding more recently. | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
The existing defences worked well before, but climate change has | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
required new investment by the Environment Agency. | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
Some people along the Exe think the word is necessary, | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
It is really important that even though we will not be able | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
to see the river it is clearly as we were with the previous flood | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
defences, being able to prevent that water coming over the top | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
and flooding somewhere like this shop is really important to us. | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
Our climate is changing, we need to work to ameliorate that | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
and prevent businesses being affected badly. | :15:27. | :15:37. | |
At sites along the Exe, the Environment Agency has looked | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
for ways to combat flooding for years to come. | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
That has sometimes meant major engineering works. | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
On the edge of the city the existing flood plain is being transformed. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
When it is finished here, probably by the end of the year | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
will be finished, it will be landscaped, finished off, | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
all the pretty bits to put in if you like and then giving | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
nature a year, because that is all it takes with nature, | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
There is no doubt about it, these works are quite striking | :16:02. | :16:13. | |
to look at at the moment but the Environment Agency has | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
assured us that over time everything will be landscaped and things should | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
look quite good by the time the finished. | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
We have already had lots of comments about that, John from Dorset size | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
for those who claim the flood water is ugly perhaps Banksy or some | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
street artist should paint a flood scene with water flooding down the | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
backside, vendors who are unhappy will have second thoughts. David | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
from Exeter told us, I remember the floods that hit Saint Thomas in | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
1963. I helped of the dead cattle and sheep. People's homes and lives | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
around. If people don't like the new defences they should explain why the | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
stupidity and expose others to such flooding and pay for the damage. You | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
can join the debate on Facebook. E-mail us or Twitter. Now that | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
interesting auction lot coming up in just a moment. | :17:14. | :17:14. | |
More than 90 tractors found on a farm in Devon are ready to be | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
And we have not seen much colour on our radar rainfall charts recently, | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
but there is some now. Some of the brighter colours there, the heavier | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
rain moving north over the next few hours. | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
Now many of us don't like injections or blood tests, | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
but for children it can be particularly daunting, | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
so a number of hospitals have adopted an idea to help make it | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Children with serious illnesses are being given the chance | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
to be scientists for a few hours to see how their blood is analysed. | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
Our Health Correspondent Jenny Walrond joined Idara who has | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
leukeamia as she donned her lab coat at Musgrove Park | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
Blood tests and other invasive treatments are a fact of life for | :18:01. | :18:17. | |
eight-year-old Idara mirror. She has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia but | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
today she is finding out what happened to her body doubles. This | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
is the laboratory! This is my friend Idara. Hello, nice to meet you. | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
Let's get you in a white coat. She is becoming a mad scientist for a | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
few hours. Every minute of every day, even Christmas Day or your | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
birthday there is someone in here working on your blood. What? Why do | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
you think we have less be positive in all positive? Do you know? | :18:54. | :19:04. | |
Because Be positive is a red blood grip. It is a benefit for our staff | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
because it provides an opportunity for them to engage with a patient | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
when normally the laboratory does not, even though they are directly | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
involved with patient care. This visit has been organised to a | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
charity called Harvey 's gang, named after Harvey Buster Baldwin who had | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
leukaemia and wanted to know where his body weight. Sadly, Harvey died | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
in 2014 -- and wanted to know where his blood went. We can ensure that | :19:38. | :19:50. | |
they carry on with the treatment. In here there are lots of cells and | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
then I sales and white cells. This is so amazing. What is that wriggly | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
thing? My best bit was interesting about the cells, that is because it | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
was really good, and my next interesting bit was the blood around | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
here. And when she next has her blood taken, Idara knows exactly | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
where it is going. Isn't she adorable? She is asked da. | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
-- she is a star. Would you be any good | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
at doing up an old tractor? Well if you are then | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
you may want to head to Ashwater in Devon this weekend for what's | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
been dubbed as the tractor It may look like a graveyard for | :20:38. | :20:54. | |
tractors, but to the trained hideout is called in these fields. There are | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
more than 90 all the vehicles here, some of them dating back 60 years. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
The collection was put together by a farmer John facially, it was his | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
passion. He and his wife would buy them and do them up and send -- and | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
then sell them off to Africa. We used to bring them home and put them | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
in the shed and he would get me cleaning them, pressure washing them | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
and there was code on all over some. -- there was countdown all over | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
some. I would free them and get them sprayed and ready to resell. John | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
died 14 years ago and it has taken his wife that long to be able to get | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
-- to let them go of a she admits she has let the grass grow under the | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
wheels. Many of these old tractors literally had to be pulled from the | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
hedgerow and ironically all of the Ivy and moss and lichen has actually | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
protected the vital machinery from rusting. So does this mean that some | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
of them could work again? Because they look pretty rusty. They do but | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
many, many clever people live in Devon and Cornwall and we have had | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
all sorts of interest in the UK and outside. Many of these will be | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
restored to their former glory. I am delighted to hear that. How many | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
people do you expect to do -- to turn up to this option? Hundreds and | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
hundreds, we have several staying in hotels this evening and there will | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
be people bidding online. I would expect five or 600 people, maybe | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
1000. Though most will be sold, Tricia admits she will keep a few | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
back herself. She enjoys restoration. I am not a mechanic, | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
that I can well, I went on a welding course. That helped. I have gotten | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
to the stage I do not need quite so much of it around me. Do any of | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
these characters actually work? We found one that does, after quite a | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
of encouragement. Fabulous sound! Some oil and that | :23:02. | :23:02. | |
will be fine. Some in his eyes lit up watching | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
that report, he is with us in the studio. | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
That was a David Brent tractor, by the way. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Tractors will be doing a lot of stuff in the field at this time of | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
year, and it looks like they will see some rain at times and that is | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
welcoming for all those but at the moment there is a line of showers | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
travelling northward, revealing a little bit of blue sky here and | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
there. This is Lyme Regis, a bit of a chaotic sky, blue sky with | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
sunshine nonetheless. We go probably as bad as we can get from Lyme | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
Regis, up to Ilfracombe where this afternoon you can see there is a lot | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
more cloud around. There is a line of showers heading towards North | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
Devon at the moment and that line of showers quite heavy and places. | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
Washer was to come tomorrow, sunny spells especially in the afternoon. | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
Also quite a humid muddy field, low cloud developing and hill fog | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
overnight tonight as well. We have an area of low pressure, at the | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
moment it is coming to the western side of France and it will continue | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
its journey northwards through the night to come in through the day | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
tomorrow. Eventually sitting across the southern half of Britain. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
South-west winds across the -- associated with that will pick up a | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
little bit and also a scattering of showers, hopefully some sunshine in | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
between those showers. As we head into the weekend we was the first | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
area of low pressure, there is another one, but between that and | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
the new area of low pressure there is a fair amount of dry weather for | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
Saturday, and then we see some more persistent rain turn up later in the | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
day what the end of the afternoon and into the evening. Sunday is not | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
too bad, we are between weather systems and hopefully on Sunday with | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
the fresher feel to the air there should also be a lot of rights try | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
whether around. This evening we have a scattering of showers, the first | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
line of showers is travelling up towards the North and it has | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
revealed some late sunshine. Later on tonight those showers will return | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
in some of them turning up to be -- turning out to be quite heavy so not | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
dry by any stretch of the imagination but it is showery, this | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
patch of rain. At that mistake in places and a mild night, two, 11 | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
degrees the minimum temperatures for most of us. Tomorrow we wake up to a | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
lot of cloud, scattering the showers and hopefully by the end of the | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
morning and into the afternoon a bit brighter, briefly some sunshine here | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
and there and again quite a warm feel. Some dry weather, the end of | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
the afternoon and temperatures of 16 or 17 degrees. 63,000 eight. For the | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Isles of Scilly quite a bit of cloud around with the chance of high tide. | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
Tides of -- these are the times of high water. And for our surfers the | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
waves are not big but the slightly bigger than they have been, up to | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
two ABC feet and a bit choppy, because the winter developing into a | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
south westerly force for or possibly pick it up to force five at some | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
point through the day. The outlook is for some fine weather on Saturday | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
for half the day and later in the day we say -- we see some rain. It | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
will be mild and mistaken on Monday. And thank you all for it in as the | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Andy is here with an update and we will all be back at 630 tomorrow. | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
Good night. Ukip created history | :26:25. | :27:16. | |
and won us all Brexit. | :27:17. | :27:23. |
