:01:34. > :01:41.The only way Border Force and the National Crime Agency
:01:42. > :01:44.could stop the gang involved was because they had
:01:45. > :01:45.access to fast boats, helicopters and cutters
:01:46. > :01:57.But the British coastline is around 8000 miles long,
:01:58. > :02:00.so what can the handful of cutters on patrol do?
:02:01. > :02:02.The captain says they can still send a powerful message
:02:03. > :02:06.I want this to be recognised by the opposition as
:02:07. > :02:11.The trawler the Bianca is to be sold, and the cocaine found

:02:36. > :02:44.It follows a Court Martial appeal which ruled that his conviction

:02:48. > :02:53.Changes to the way Cornwall's road network is managed have been

:03:38. > :03:41.That includes problems like those experienced in Looe when torrential

:03:53. > :03:54.Today, we've agreed some changes to the way that we'll manage

:05:18. > :05:20.from his factory in Cornwall, an innovation made possible
:05:21. > :05:31.We're a business, we need help, there's support available,
:05:32. > :05:35.and ?2500 does arrive in your bank account.
:05:36. > :05:38.The cash, which has to be match-funded, has transformed his
:05:39. > :05:40.eco-business and led to two new jobs.
:05:41. > :05:42.Now Cornwall is urging more people to apply for European funding
:05:43. > :05:50.Over the years, millions has been awarded to help
:05:51. > :05:52.regenerate the county which, whilst beautiful, is one
:05:53. > :05:59.But with Brexit on the cards, this latest round of funding,
:06:00. > :06:02.which runs until 2020, is likely to be the last.
:06:03. > :06:05.Over this period, the EU has awarded ?300 million of funding to Cornwall.
:06:06. > :06:07.Of this, around ?100 million remains up for grabs.
:06:08. > :06:09.Devon and Somerset have been given around 100 million,
:06:10. > :06:20.Dorset's had around 50 million, and around 10 million in funding
:06:21. > :06:28.It's there and it's available, and it's an easy process.
:06:29. > :06:31.So if you're running a business that you can see some good
:06:32. > :06:37.growth opportunities, then funding is available for you.
:06:38. > :06:39.Projects where funding has already been allocated include
:06:40. > :06:41.the ?30 million for Centrica's renewable energy project,
:06:42. > :06:50.and 1.5 million for Cornish rivers to encourage fishing.
:06:51. > :06:53.There are thousands of smaller schemes such as help

:07:10. > :07:11.Joining me in the studio now is our political
:07:12. > :07:14.Martyn, we heard people being encouraged to apply
:07:15. > :07:17.What happens, though, if it doesn't get allocated
:07:18. > :07:21.This money is offered on a "use it or lose it" basis,
:07:22. > :07:23.and with these programmes, there are usually a number
:07:24. > :07:25.of internal deadlines by which a certain proportion
:07:26. > :07:28.of the money needs to be allocated to a project,
:07:29. > :07:30.and if that doesn't happen, then the money goes
:07:31. > :07:33.And I can remember certainly with previous programmes
:07:34. > :07:35.there would be occasional panics because one of these
:07:36. > :07:38.deadlines would be looming, and it would look as if at least
:07:39. > :07:43.As Carys said in her piece there, this is likely to be the last big
:07:44. > :07:45.chunk of EU money that Cornwall will now receive.
:07:46. > :07:48.Yes, with Britain leaving the EU, there won't be any more
:07:49. > :07:51.The Government has guaranteed that this current funding programme
:07:52. > :07:54.will continue up until 2020 as planned, even if Britain has
:07:55. > :07:57.But attention is now focusing to what happens beyond that,
:07:58. > :08:00.because Cornwall reckons that had we remained inside the EU,
:08:01. > :08:02.it would have been eligible for another ?330 million
:08:03. > :08:14.Now, it wants the UK Government to say they will put up that money
:08:15. > :08:16.to replace the money that they would have
:08:17. > :08:22.Now, whether that will happen, nobody knows.
:08:23. > :08:25.It was cut and dried under the EU rules, because the money
:08:26. > :08:27.was automatically awarded if the economy in Cornwall was
:08:28. > :08:34.There are no rules which apply to UK domestic funding in the same way,
:08:35. > :08:37.and of course, in the years to come, there will be a lot of competition
:08:38. > :08:39.for a dwindling pot of money domestically.
:08:40. > :08:45.Martyn, we will leave it there, thank you for joining us.

:08:59. > :09:06.Well, her family does put on a wall of death show.
:09:07. > :09:14.Not your average family! Lets get the latest on tonight's whether.
:09:15. > :09:23.Good evening. This week we have been plagued with mist, low cloud and
:09:24. > :09:28.fog. We have some patchy rain to get rid off tonight, but it will be gone
:09:29. > :09:32.by the morning. A cold, bright start, and then later in the day,
:09:33. > :09:39.patchy rain beginning to appear, but it may take all day before that
:09:40. > :09:42.north of us will slowly sink north of us will slowly sink
:09:43. > :09:44.southwards and it will be a feature of the weather as we move into the
:09:45. > :09:48.weekend. Patchy rain this evening weekend. Patchy rain this evening
:09:49. > :09:53.should clear over the next few hours, the skies will eventually
:09:54. > :09:56.clear and it will turn quite chilly, temperatures could get as low as
:09:57. > :10:00.three or four Celsius, cold enough for a touch of frost, although I'd
:10:01. > :10:04.think we will see too much of that, because there is a breeze
:10:05. > :10:08.developing. That will give us some fine weather to start the day, but
:10:09. > :10:11.gradually through the morning and into the afternoon, there will be
:10:12. > :10:16.more cloud coming in from the north-west, and by the end of the
:10:17. > :10:20.day, we will see some patchy rain beginning to affect northern parts
:10:21. > :10:25.of Devon and Somerset. Top temperature tomorrow, ten or 11
:10:26. > :10:29.Celsius. The weekend is not looking too clever, brisk westerly winds
:10:30. > :10:34.feeding in plenty of cloud and outbreaks of rain on Saturday and
:10:35. > :10:38.Sunday, but of the two days, Sunday will be the wetter of the two,
:10:39. > :10:42.because it looks like the rain will gradually pull away, but slow
:10:43. > :10:45.progress on that. It is mild this weekend, but a little brighter for
:10:46. > :10:49.the start of next week as it clears from the north. Good night.
:10:50. > :10:56.The breakfast team will be back with you from 6.25 tomorrow morning, but

:10:58. > :11:02.for now. there will be rain around, most
