:00:12. > :00:14.It's just over nine months since the South West
:00:15. > :00:19.In the biggest political decision in a generation,
:00:20. > :00:22.nearly 53% of people here supported Brexit.
:00:23. > :00:25.In a moment we'll hear from some of those who'd hoped
:00:26. > :00:28.But first, our reporter Tamsin Melville has been speaking
:00:29. > :00:30.to people in West Cornwall, where the majority of
:00:31. > :00:38.And I wanted to start a support group to protest
:00:39. > :00:41.against European Union in the form of the Maastricht Treaty.
:00:42. > :00:43.This Penzance-based campaigner has got a file full of clippings
:00:44. > :00:47.and letters detailing his opposition to the EU since the '70s.
:00:48. > :00:52.A founding member of Ukip in the '90s, June 23rd was something
:00:53. > :00:56.With history now in the making, for him,
:00:57. > :01:03.It is a self-governing nation, electing our MPs,
:01:04. > :01:05.who pass laws over us, governing ourselves through our own
:01:06. > :01:09.courts and making our own decisions, with the MPs being responsible
:01:10. > :01:19.He grew up with EU regulations and 25-year-old Newlyn fisherman
:01:20. > :01:23.James Roberts was an enthusiastic Leave campaigner, unhappy
:01:24. > :01:25.about quota management and access to fishing grounds.
:01:26. > :01:29.What we are hoping to come of leaving the EU is for this to be
:01:30. > :01:33.Fast forward nine months and he is anxious that Brexit does
:01:34. > :01:36.now deliver on things like a 12-mile British waters limit and
:01:37. > :01:46.If it doesn't, if they don't secure what we have now,
:01:47. > :01:49.if they don't secure what we should be managing, you know, the 200-mile
:01:50. > :01:55.It has taken this long to get to a point to have this chance
:01:56. > :01:58.and I can't see it happening again, probably not my lifetime.
:01:59. > :02:02.Cornwall's voters plumped 57-43% for Leave, despite the decades
:02:03. > :02:07.The constituency of St Austell and Newquay had the highest
:02:08. > :02:10.proportion of Out voters in the county.
:02:11. > :02:14.It seems immigration control will be a key test of Brexit success here.
:02:15. > :02:17.No regrets? No.
:02:18. > :02:19.The sooner they do it, the better. Yeah.
:02:20. > :02:21.We need to shut our borders off as well.
:02:22. > :02:24.No, it's true, though. Yeah.
:02:25. > :02:29.The hospitals is on its knees because of it all,
:02:30. > :02:37.So do you think the UK Government is going to get what you wanted?
:02:38. > :02:43.They'd better, otherwise there'll be hell up, won't there?
:02:44. > :02:45.Some doubts but still hope as it is into uncharted waters
:02:46. > :02:53.The South Hams was one of a handful of places to vote to remain.
:02:54. > :02:55.And this affiliation with Europe goes back to 1973,
:02:56. > :02:59.when Britain joined the Common Market.
:03:00. > :03:02.Anna Varle has been back to Ivybridge, which featured
:03:03. > :03:04.in a special film at the time, all about its relationship
:03:05. > :03:11.The year we began to move closer to Europe.
:03:12. > :03:14.From the cars we drove to the shops on the high street,
:03:15. > :03:18.Here in Ivybridge, the bunting was out.
:03:19. > :03:22.How else do you welcome in a new era?
:03:23. > :03:25.And our cameras were there as Europe rolled into town.
:03:26. > :03:36.As part of the film, we featured a family who hosted
:03:37. > :03:40.More than 40 years on, we are back at the breakfast table
:03:41. > :03:45.Coming out, I am very sad to come out.
:03:46. > :03:48.But it isn't the same club that we joined.
:03:49. > :03:59.You have got to believe that, haven't you?
:04:00. > :04:02.The village as it was then were so keen on joining,
:04:03. > :04:05.it was one of the only places in the country to hold
:04:06. > :04:12.Fashions may change, but for many, attitudes have remained the same.
:04:13. > :04:15.They believed in Europe and still do.
:04:16. > :04:26.And I think it's very sad what has happened.
:04:27. > :04:28.They were so excited about joining the Common Market,
:04:29. > :04:37.But then, as now, there was uncertainty.
:04:38. > :04:41.The man who organised those celebrations was Mr Condon.
:04:42. > :04:45.I think that we haven't had it fully explained to us.
:04:46. > :04:48.They are talking now, we are going to even lose the Queen.
:04:49. > :04:50.Someone suggested she should become the Queen of Europe.
:04:51. > :04:53.Well, perhaps this might be possible, I don't know.
:04:54. > :04:55.And today, there is a sense of deja vu.
:04:56. > :04:58.We don't know what it means for our personal lives.
:04:59. > :05:02.We don't know what it means for our business lives,
:05:03. > :05:04.and, you know, I think everybody would like some clarity,
:05:05. > :05:08.so it is difficult to celebrate when you don't know what you might
:05:09. > :05:13.I am sure we will look back and perhaps not in my time but in 20
:05:14. > :05:17.or 30 years' time we will look back and say this is one of the greatest
:05:18. > :05:25.# Now we're in the Common Market, # All these things will come our way
:05:26. > :05:31.# But judging by the prices, # You will hear the folk all say...#
:05:32. > :05:34.Our political editor Martyn Oates has been at Westminster today,
:05:35. > :05:40.In her statement to the Commons today, the Prime Minister said
:05:41. > :05:42.she hoped the UK would have a deep and special relationship
:05:43. > :05:46.with the EU post-Brexit, and she hoped the UK would be able
:05:47. > :05:52.to trade with the EU as freely as possible.
:05:53. > :05:55.Just how freely will be a topic of intense interest for business
:05:56. > :05:58.and, in a region like ours, for farmers and fishermen.
:05:59. > :06:02.The Newton Abbott MP and keen Brexiteer Anne Marie Morris told me
:06:03. > :06:06.today she backed the government's ambition to have as good a trading
:06:07. > :06:11.arrangement with the EU as we do the moment inside the organisation.
:06:12. > :06:14.Labour's Ben Bradshaw agreed that was needed but doubts
:06:15. > :06:17.the government's ability to deliver it.
:06:18. > :06:20.Meanwhile, the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has made
:06:21. > :06:23.it clear that the government cannot expect to have as good
:06:24. > :06:27.a trading deal outside the EU as it does inside it.
:06:28. > :06:32.Now of course, the real haggling and horse trading is yet to begin,
:06:33. > :06:36.but when it does, people involved in sectors like farming
:06:37. > :06:38.and particularly very small industries like fishing will be very
:06:39. > :06:42.anxious that they don't end up being sidelined or even sacrificed
:06:43. > :06:47.in favour of securing a really good outcome for the big players
:06:48. > :06:51.like the financial sector in the City of London.
:06:52. > :06:56.In other news tonight, rising costs have forced changes to a major
:06:57. > :07:01.The Devon Festival of Remembrance has been held for 25 years.
:07:02. > :07:08.But it'll be replaced by a concert at a smaller venue
:07:09. > :07:19.It is one of the most high-profile ways that Devon marks
:07:20. > :07:21.the sacrifices of those who gave their lives in combat.
:07:22. > :07:24.But there will be no Royal British Legion Devon Festival
:07:25. > :07:28.The band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines is a big
:07:29. > :07:34.attraction at the festival, but it comes at a cost, ?1800,
:07:35. > :07:37.as the Ministry of Defence charges organisations including the Legion
:07:38. > :07:42.It says that is according to Government policy,
:07:43. > :07:45.but it contributed to the festival making a loss.
:07:46. > :07:51.?1800 is a lot of money, especially for remembrance.
:07:52. > :07:54.If it was for a flower show or for a county show
:07:55. > :07:56.or something like that, I could understand.
:07:57. > :08:01.It is really not in line with the idea of remembrance.
:08:02. > :08:06.Another big cost is the near-?3000 to hire Exeter Cathedral.
:08:07. > :08:11.The cathedral, which has its own well-publicised financial issues,
:08:12. > :08:14.told us it works very hard to keep costs for concerts and other events
:08:15. > :08:20.But staffing and other costs involved in keeping the building
:08:21. > :08:25.open beyond its normal opening hours do have to be covered.
:08:26. > :08:29.So in November, this smaller venue will host a lower budget concert,
:08:30. > :08:32.focusing on youngsters, who the Legion sees as key
:08:33. > :08:37.The young people of this country are the people
:08:38. > :08:42.who are going to continue, and we looking forward
:08:43. > :08:45.to a terrific concert with lots of participation of children.
:08:46. > :08:49.And the hope is to reinstate the larger-scale festival in 2018,
:08:50. > :08:53.to mark the centenary of the end of the Great War.
:08:54. > :08:57.Hamish Marshall, BBC Spotlight, Exeter.
:08:58. > :08:59.The traditional practice of swaling on Dartmoor has
:09:00. > :09:01.been delayed this year because of the persistent
:09:02. > :09:06.At Haytor, the legally-controlled burning has only just begun,
:09:07. > :09:11.Commoners on Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin Moor have
:09:12. > :09:16.from October until the end of March to burn overgrown gorse,
:09:17. > :09:20.but have had to rely on these last few sunny days to get the job done.
:09:21. > :09:22.Time now for the all-important weather - are we getting
:09:23. > :09:33.There is still some in the forecast for the UK but dry and bright
:09:34. > :09:37.weather to be had as well, thankfully. A mixture of the two
:09:38. > :09:40.tomorrow after quite a disappointing day today. Tomorrow is slightly
:09:41. > :09:46.warmer, still quite breezy. Spells of rain in the West but mainly in
:09:47. > :09:50.the West. Elsewhere, dry and hopefully a bit brighter. Low
:09:51. > :09:53.pressure dominating in the Atlantic, high pressure across France. It is
:09:54. > :09:57.tending to keep the front at bay. This is today and this is tomorrow.
:09:58. > :10:00.Not a great deal of change in the pressure pattern but the slightly
:10:01. > :10:04.more southerly wind which had helped to draw in some slightly drier and
:10:05. > :10:07.warmer air tomorrow. Into Friday, the fog will have pushed through so
:10:08. > :10:13.fresh conditions to end the week. Tonight, spells of rain around, some
:10:14. > :10:17.quite lively. Quite blustery wind as well and cloud syncing dam, giving
:10:18. > :10:20.hill fog tonight but it is mild, with temperatures easily staying in
:10:21. > :10:25.double figures. Tomorrow morning starts a bit wet but with the
:10:26. > :10:29.southerly wind, it helps to draw the front a bit further westwards. In
:10:30. > :10:32.the far West, a bit of a disappointing day with spells of
:10:33. > :10:38.rain, quite lively and brisk wind as well but a bit further east, it
:10:39. > :10:41.should be drier brighter. Certain amounts of medium and high level
:10:42. > :10:45.cloud around but hopefully fairly warm despite the breeze. A few
:10:46. > :10:47.showers into Friday, quite a number on Saturday, some sunshine away from
:10:48. > :10:49.them, though, and dryer on Sunday. That's how the news
:10:50. > :10:51.and weather's looking tonight. The breakfast team will
:10:52. > :11:06.be back from 6:25am, far. The outlook for the next few
:11:07. > :11:08.days, temperatures coming down a bit but staying decent for this time of
:11:09. > :11:14.year. Here is Darren Bett with the national weather.
:11:15. > :11:20.The warm air coming up on a southerly breeze all the way from
:11:21. > :11:23.Iberia and across France into England and Wales. To achieve the
:11:24. > :11:28.high temperatures we need to get into some of this dryer air and
:11:29. > :11:31.sunshine. Even with the cloud today, 17 degrees. Not just about the
:11:32. > :11:35.temperatures, let's not forget there is some rain around as well. Quite
:11:36. > :11:40.wet in Pembrokeshire for much of the day. More rain overnight tonight,
:11:41. > :11:42.some rain and drizzle in northern and western areas. Wetter weather
:11:43. > :11:47.moving northwards across Scotland. Some rain in the south-west,
:11:48. > :11:51.shuffling towards the Midlands. Overnight, a lot of cloud around. It
:11:52. > :11:55.is going to be very mild indeed for the time of year, 11-12 in many
:11:56. > :11:58.parts of the country. This is an sunshine beginning to creep into the
:11:59. > :11:59.south-east early in the
