Good evening, and welcome to a special BBC Points West tonight.

:00:14.:00:18.

The headlines this evening: Claims that cuts at some council

:00:18.:00:21.

recycling centres are causing a big rise in fly-tipping.

:00:21.:00:24.

The troops who control unmanned spy planes in Afghanistan are honoured

:00:24.:00:34.
:00:34.:00:36.

by a World Cup legend. You get individuals parents and a

:00:36.:00:40.

football match as you get individual heroics and bravery in

:00:40.:00:42.

the army. Also tonight, the pedal-powered

:00:42.:00:46.

submarine getting ready to take on the world.

:00:46.:00:52.

And Bristol's multi-million-pound M Shed finally opens its doors today,

:00:52.:00:57.

celebrating the city's past and future.

:00:57.:01:00.

There has been a significant increase in illegal fly-tipping

:01:00.:01:03.

following the first scheme in the country to charge for dumping your

:01:03.:01:08.

waste. The project in Somerset started in April and has already

:01:08.:01:11.

saved a lot of money. But, as John Maguire reports, many are

:01:12.:01:19.

struggling with the changes. If it's Taunton, then it's not a

:01:19.:01:23.

Tuesday or Wednesday. Why? Because the tip is closed on those days.

:01:23.:01:27.

Every one in the county now shuts two days a week, half day on

:01:27.:01:30.

Sundays, and at four other sites across Somerset you are charged per

:01:30.:01:36.

visit regardless of what you dump. It is the country's first scheme of

:01:36.:01:39.

its kind. And at almost three months old, it is already saving

:01:39.:01:43.

money. But there are negatives, too. Illegal fly-tipping has increased

:01:43.:01:53.
:01:53.:01:57.

significantly. I think people have found it, getting used to the

:01:57.:02:00.

changes, I don't think everybody has turned into a environmental

:02:00.:02:04.

criminals overnight as a result, but some people have been

:02:04.:02:07.

frustrated by the changes and have found other ways of disposing of

:02:07.:02:14.

material. This rubbish dump is between Taunton and Wellington and

:02:14.:02:17.

money is being saved by closing certain centres on certain days,

:02:17.:02:21.

for example this one closed yesterday and today, but if people

:02:21.:02:26.

do not like that and opt instead to dump their rubbish on the roadside,

:02:26.:02:30.

they are left in no doubt. Look at this sign. The message seems clear

:02:30.:02:34.

enough. The threat of a jail term and a �50,000 fine is daunting, but

:02:34.:02:38.

just a quarter of a mile down the road we found clear evidence that

:02:38.:02:43.

some just don't care. Although, to be frank, this could have been left

:02:43.:02:47.

here before the changes. One message not getting through, it

:02:47.:02:51.

seems, are the days the tips are open. We saw several people who

:02:51.:02:59.

turned up and were disappointed. live in West Buckland and to head

:02:59.:03:04.

off at thes around there, fly- tipping all the time. I pity the

:03:04.:03:10.

farmers who have to dispose of it. You think it has got worse? It has

:03:10.:03:15.

definitely gotten worse. Yes, they definitely need to open this seven

:03:15.:03:25.
:03:25.:03:27.

days a week, like it used to be. Local councils are being paid to

:03:27.:03:29.

clear up the fly-tipping, and the system will be reviewed in three

:03:29.:03:36.

months, but for now there are no plans to throw it out.

:03:36.:03:39.

In the last few hours, Avon and Somerset Police have told the BBC

:03:39.:03:43.

that they have discovered a body in the Feeder Canal in Bristol. It is

:03:43.:03:46.

thought to be that of the missing student William Appleby. The 19-

:03:46.:03:49.

year-old from the University of the West of England was last seen at

:03:49.:03:51.

the Motion nightclub near Bristol Temple Meads train station.

:03:51.:03:54.

The former chief executive of the Cotswold Water Park today pleaded

:03:54.:03:57.

guilty to six charges of fraud at Gloucester Crown Court. 63-year-old

:03:57.:04:00.

Denis Grant embezzled hundreds of thousands of pounds by diverting

:04:00.:04:10.
:04:10.:04:10.

funds meant for the Water Park into his own personal account. The judge

:04:10.:04:13.

warned him he faced a long prison sentence, but agreed to release him

:04:13.:04:17.

on bail because of his early guilty plea. The case has been adjourned

:04:17.:04:21.

until July 19th. The Bristol DJ Roni Size has been

:04:21.:04:24.

found not guilty of throwing his former partner down the stairs,

:04:24.:04:30.

shattering her heel. The musician, whose real name is Ryan Williams,

:04:30.:04:34.

did not want to comment as he left court after a jury cleared him of a

:04:34.:04:40.

charge of causing grievous bodily harm. Jane Andrews had claimed he

:04:40.:04:48.

pushed her down the stairs at his Bishopston home last July.

:04:48.:04:51.

England's footballing hero Sir Geoff Hurst has praised the work of

:04:51.:04:55.

West Country soldiers serving in Afghanistan. The 1966 World Cup

:04:55.:04:58.

winner was presenting medals to service men and women who have just

:04:58.:05:02.

returned from the frontline to their barracks in Wiltshire. Scott

:05:02.:05:07.

Ellis reports. For families and friends, these are

:05:07.:05:11.

the heroes of today. Soldiers from 32 Regiment Royal Artillery at

:05:11.:05:17.

Larkhill. They were about to meet another national hero from an

:05:17.:05:26.

earlier generation. Here comes first, some people are on the pitch,

:05:26.:05:34.

they think it is all Labour... It is now! -- they think it is all

:05:34.:05:38.

over. A soldier's wife asked if Sir Geoff would do the honours. The

:05:38.:05:41.

former West Ham forward said yes. So today, a Hammer was proud to

:05:41.:05:45.

meet the Gunners. I am filled with great sadness when I see the

:05:45.:05:50.

coffins coming in, draped in Union Jacks. It makes me very sad, as it

:05:50.:05:56.

does my family. Every one of them I met today is a hero. Their job is

:05:56.:05:59.

to make Afghanistan a safer place for soldiers on patrol. They fly

:05:59.:06:02.

the unmanned Hermes spy planes, which beam down battlefield

:06:02.:06:06.

pictures from 10,000 feet. On one mission they spotted two enemy

:06:06.:06:16.
:06:16.:06:20.

fighters burying an IED. We saw them digging, saw the device,

:06:20.:06:24.

prosecuted them when we were able to it. It saves lives as well as

:06:24.:06:29.

man-hours, that is what we're out there to do, save lives. Thanks a

:06:29.:06:32.

lot for giving me a great honour. In his speech, Sir Geoff praised

:06:32.:06:36.

the soldiers' courage and team work. Praise indeed from one of the most

:06:36.:06:45.

famous teams of all. Now, the reason I am alone in the

:06:45.:06:48.

studio tonight is that there is a brand new attraction in the West -

:06:48.:06:52.

Bristol's new multimillion pound M Shed museum. After years in the

:06:53.:06:55.

making, it opened with a grand ceremony just after midday, and

:06:55.:06:59.

since then there has been a constant stream of visitors. Imogen

:06:59.:07:03.

is there this evening to tell us more.

:07:03.:07:09.

Look at these traffic lights - they even work when you press them. Sir

:07:09.:07:16.

John Somerton, an architectural historian, once said: "If I had to

:07:16.:07:19.

show a foreigner one English City, I'd take them to Bristol, where

:07:19.:07:26.

nearly everything has happened". And that is just what the M Shed is

:07:26.:07:29.

trying to encapsulate. From the familiar, the Bristol Bus, of

:07:29.:07:34.

course, to never-before-seen private photo albums. It is more a

:07:34.:07:42.

personal history than official history. But enough talking, let's

:07:42.:07:47.

have a tour. The music, by the way, is by the Bristol band Massive

:07:47.:07:57.
:07:57.:08:08.

attack. -- Massive Attack, who are Just putting you through, corner. -

:08:08.:08:18.
:08:18.:08:18.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds

:08:18.:09:03.

The road to completion for the M Shed has not been a smooth one. It

:09:03.:09:07.

has cost �27 million to build, is two years late and �8 million over

:09:07.:09:16.

budget. So today was as much a sigh of relief as a celebration. With a

:09:16.:09:19.

spectacular opening ceremony, the doors were finally opened to the

:09:19.:09:23.

public, as Emma Campbell reports. It was not your average museum

:09:23.:09:29.

opening. These acrobats are hanging from Bristol's historic trains to

:09:29.:09:34.

re-enact the legend of the two giants who created the Avon gorge.

:09:34.:09:38.

But they were not the only things on a tight road. The razzmatazz

:09:38.:09:43.

could not disguise the fact that M Shed is years late and millions

:09:43.:09:46.

over budget. The council says it will still be value for Money.

:09:47.:09:51.

have to judge these things over years. We found problems in the

:09:51.:09:55.

ground pollution and piling which had not been anticipated, so there

:09:55.:09:59.

was a cost overrun, which caused a time overrun, but what we have

:09:59.:10:03.

ended up with is a fantastic state- of-the-art museum, cutting edge,

:10:03.:10:07.

probably one of the best in the country, which will appeal to

:10:07.:10:11.

everyone in the city. It did not deter the hundreds of people who

:10:11.:10:15.

queued in the rain to get a first look. And so far it is proving

:10:16.:10:20.

popular. Within 1.5 hours of opening, it had 1,000 people

:10:20.:10:26.

through the doors. Good fun, we got here about 10 minutes ago. Are you

:10:26.:10:33.

having a good time? I like the air shelter because it had a bed and it

:10:33.:10:39.

looked a rather cool. I like all of the old costumes and history.

:10:39.:10:44.

used to work for the company which built the cranes outside, we were

:10:44.:10:47.

apprentices there in 19 did to one, so it is good to come and have a

:10:48.:10:54.

look at them today -- in 1951. like this one, it is good to find

:10:54.:11:00.

out about the history of Bristol. Plenty of the past inside, but

:11:00.:11:03.

outside 150 Bristow eons of the future are marked the opening with

:11:03.:11:13.
:11:13.:11:17.

a song all about the city and specially composed for the occasion.

:11:18.:11:21.

From Banksy to Wallace and Gromit, it is all here with over 3,000

:11:21.:11:27.

artefacts. I am joined by Stephen Grey from Bristol City Council. Are

:11:27.:11:32.

the contents of this museum worth the �27 million price tag? I would

:11:32.:11:37.

say definitely, yes. If you compare it too many museums that have

:11:37.:11:42.

opened this year, this is quite a modest expenditure. And it did as

:11:42.:11:47.

you had hoped? It is everything I had hoped. I have worked on the

:11:47.:11:51.

project for 13 years, but it is fabulous and it can only do great

:11:51.:11:55.

things for Bristol. It is a great city and needs to have it story

:11:55.:12:01.

told. Sue Furloe, you were a volunteer but initially had your

:12:01.:12:05.

concerns about the use of the building? It is more than I could

:12:05.:12:09.

have hoped for because there have been so many people working on it

:12:09.:12:12.

to have come up with brilliant ideas of stories to tell and ways

:12:13.:12:17.

of displaying objects. It is fantastic. Have you had much

:12:17.:12:20.

feedback from members of the public while they have been coming through

:12:20.:12:25.

the doors? I have been volunteering today and people have been coming

:12:25.:12:29.

back to me as they leave just to tell me how much enjoyment they

:12:29.:12:35.

have had out of it and house than they are by it, really. You were

:12:35.:12:40.

here from the start, Stephen. How did the idea first come to be?

:12:40.:12:43.

Wherever I have worked in the country I have gone to the city

:12:43.:12:47.

museum to get a sense of where the city has come from before I had

:12:47.:12:52.

wanted to work there. I went to the City Museum and Art Gallery and

:12:52.:12:55.

love it, but it is a British Museum and tells you nothing about the

:12:55.:12:59.

city. Before that, I worked in Edinburgh, which had a beautiful

:13:00.:13:04.

People story, and this was a city, I felt, which needed it story told,

:13:04.:13:09.

and we are now able to do that. Thank you for joining us.

:13:09.:13:13.

Still busy this evening, lots of families here. I will be back

:13:13.:13:16.

shortly with more tales from the archives of Bristol.

:13:17.:13:21.

We look forward to that, thank you. Some more news now, and two nurses

:13:21.:13:24.

who worked at the private hospital near Bristol featured in the recent

:13:24.:13:27.

Panorama programme have today been suspended from practice by the

:13:27.:13:31.

Nursing and Midwifery Council. The disciplinary body placed an interim

:13:32.:13:34.

suspension order against Sookalingum Appoo, seen here in the

:13:34.:13:41.

BBC programme about Winterbourne View, and Blessing Hoyi. They now

:13:41.:13:43.

face a full investigation into allegations of serious breaches of

:13:43.:13:50.

nursing code of conduct. The High Court has ordered a

:13:50.:13:57.

temporary halt to the closure of libraries in Gloucestershire.

:13:57.:14:00.

There were protests last November when the county council announced

:14:00.:14:04.

it would withdraw funding from 10 branches as part of spending cuts.

:14:04.:14:09.

Campaigners began a legal challenge and today when an injunction

:14:09.:14:12.

stopping the council proceedings. There will be a further court

:14:12.:14:17.

hearing next month. Opponents of a new stadium for

:14:17.:14:20.

Bristol City football club say they will meet soon to decide whether to

:14:21.:14:23.

mount a legal challenge to the planned development. Last night,

:14:23.:14:26.

councillors decided a new stadium could be built on land at Ashton

:14:26.:14:30.

Vale, if the other half of the site is given over to a wetlands area

:14:30.:14:39.

and town green. But some locals are less than impressed by the decision.

:14:40.:14:43.

This is just one area where feelings are running high, right on

:14:43.:14:48.

the edge of the proposed site. That is where they want to build the

:14:48.:14:52.

stadium, you can see the tennis centre in the distance. Several of

:14:52.:14:56.

the people I spoke to had strong views about having a stadium there.

:14:56.:15:00.

They did not want it and are not impressed with the way the

:15:00.:15:03.

situation has been handled but did not want to appear on camera.

:15:03.:15:07.

Others were more forthcoming. a piece one neighbourhood and to

:15:07.:15:13.

bring those crowds of supporters here will be an like mad -- it is a

:15:13.:15:16.

peaceful neighbour at. We have a great view at the moment, parking

:15:16.:15:23.

will be horrendous. Last night, councillors voted in

:15:23.:15:26.

favour of a plan to split the site. They said the southern part did

:15:26.:15:29.

meet the criteria to be a town green, where development cannot

:15:29.:15:32.

take place. But the northern part could not be a town green, and the

:15:32.:15:36.

stadium could be built there. This could be the end of the saga, but

:15:36.:15:39.

those apposed to the development could still challenge that decision

:15:39.:15:43.

in the courts and take the matter to judicial review.

:15:43.:15:46.

I'm joined by barrister Peter Wadsley, who specialises in

:15:46.:15:53.

planning law. Good evening to you. Good evening. If they go for a

:15:53.:15:58.

judicial review, how does it play out? They have to put in Britain

:15:58.:16:03.

grounds of challenge, but in their evidence to support those unwritten

:16:03.:16:07.

grounds, and that is served on the stadium, company and city council,

:16:07.:16:11.

who then respond in writing. That then goes before a judge who has to

:16:11.:16:16.

decide whether there is an arguable case. That is just to get

:16:16.:16:20.

permission for a judicial review? To go for a full hearing after that.

:16:20.:16:26.

How long could this take? Certainly months, possibly over a year? You

:16:26.:16:30.

are looking at a few months to get permission and, after that, it

:16:30.:16:38.

depends on the state, particularly in London. I thought the planning

:16:38.:16:42.

inspector had ruled that the whole site could be designated as a town

:16:42.:16:46.

green, so how come the council came along last night and said only half

:16:46.:16:52.

of it? Two things, the first that the inspector only advises the

:16:52.:16:56.

council, the decision is the council's. Secondly, the council

:16:56.:17:00.

say there is fresh evidence that entitles them to depart on the

:17:00.:17:05.

recommendation. Do we know what that evidence is? It is evidence

:17:05.:17:10.

that relates to the use of part of the side, but that is likely to be

:17:10.:17:14.

challenged in any judicial review proceedings by the applicants for

:17:14.:17:18.

the town grey. I suspect I cannot tempt you to give a personal

:17:19.:17:22.

opinion on this, but what will the judge decide? I would have thought

:17:22.:17:26.

the applicants would be likely to say it was unfair of the council to

:17:26.:17:32.

have dealt with it in the way they have, because the inspector heard

:17:32.:17:36.

all of the evidence, cross-examined the witnesses, she has not had an

:17:36.:17:39.

opportunity to pass upon the evidence and the council has made a

:17:39.:17:42.

decision without going back to her. Do you think they will get

:17:42.:17:49.

permission for a review? Yes, I do. Thank you.

:17:49.:17:53.

Now it is time to meet another of our 12 for 2012 - West Country

:17:53.:17:56.

athletes hoping to be part of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in

:17:56.:18:00.

just over a year's time. Today it is a young man who combines speed

:18:00.:18:02.

and agility, sprinting over obstacles more than half his height

:18:02.:18:08.

in size. Lawrence Clarke is one of the country's top hurdlers, and

:18:08.:18:12.

trains with an elite group of athletes at the University of Bath.

:18:12.:18:16.

He has already won a Commonwealth medal, and hopes to top that in

:18:16.:18:24.

London, as Alistair Durden reports. Hours of practice for an event that

:18:24.:18:34.
:18:34.:18:34.

takes little more than 13 seconds to complete. A split second can

:18:34.:18:38.

make the difference between winner and also-ran. The start is the most

:18:38.:18:42.

important. If you are not there at Hurdle one, you will not be in the

:18:42.:18:46.

race. I have quite a rhythmic technique so when I get to top

:18:46.:18:50.

speed I can hold it, but I take longer to get to top speed. There

:18:50.:18:55.

are 10 hurdles, 3ft 6 high. His practice runs are filmed and

:18:55.:19:03.

analysed so his technique is perfected. You keep the shoulders

:19:03.:19:06.

square, it did a definite improvement on the last run.

:19:06.:19:10.

year-old Lawrence has just finished a degree in Bristol so is now a

:19:10.:19:13.

full-time athlete in Bath. He has had a privileged upbringing - a

:19:13.:19:16.

former Etonian, and heir apparent to his father's baronetcy. But he

:19:16.:19:19.

says he has not had any financial help from his family, and has

:19:19.:19:26.

strived to succeed on his own merit. My accent is firmly to some people,

:19:26.:19:31.

you see it on Harry Enfield occasionally -- my accent is fun.

:19:31.:19:35.

But if you're not running well, you will get mocked for that and for no

:19:35.:19:41.

other reason. When I came here, I was a shocking athlete, but since

:19:41.:19:45.

then I have earned respect. Everyone in the group has an

:19:45.:19:52.

international medal, so you are on a level playing field. Away from

:19:53.:19:55.

the track, hobbies are restricted because of a risk of injury. The

:19:56.:20:00.

shooting range is one way he can unwind. You can play lawn bowls,

:20:00.:20:06.

clay shooting, fly-fishing, but I don't fish. An easy choice? This is

:20:06.:20:11.

good for your co-ordination and focus. At last year's Commonwealth

:20:11.:20:13.

Games, he finished third behind two other English hurdlers, the first

:20:14.:20:17.

time the country has completed a 1- 2-3 in the event. And he is coached

:20:17.:20:20.

in Bath by Malcolm Arnold, who masterminded the careers of Jason

:20:20.:20:25.

Gardener and Colin Jackson. I gave him a month's trial and after about

:20:25.:20:30.

30 seconds I said he could stay. He was very good. He is physically

:20:30.:20:37.

very good, very quick, and is a very good competitor. He became a

:20:37.:20:41.

nude -- European junior champion in his first season. His sights are

:20:41.:20:44.

firmly on London 2012, and he needs to improve his personal best time

:20:44.:20:51.

by just two-tenths of a second in order to qualify. If anyone has run

:20:51.:20:54.

a race and lost by half a foot, they will know the half a foot

:20:54.:20:59.

would have meant a lot. We will see what happens, but I should be able

:20:59.:21:02.

to make the time. And he will have several chances to do that. Next

:21:02.:21:08.

month's Under-23 Championships are his next big hurdle.

:21:08.:21:11.

Before London 2012, one team in Bath is taking on the world next

:21:11.:21:16.

week in a rather more unusual event. The Racing Submarine Team from the

:21:16.:21:19.

University of Bath is flying to America to represent the country in

:21:19.:21:26.

the international submarine races. Lizzie Way went to meet them as

:21:26.:21:30.

they tested out their boat. This is the British Racing

:21:30.:21:35.

Submarine team. And this is their yellow submarine. It is pedal-

:21:35.:21:39.

powered, and today it went in the water for the first time. It has

:21:39.:21:41.

been built by mechanical engineering students at the

:21:41.:21:44.

University of Bath, who were up until 6am this morning making sure

:21:44.:21:53.

it was water-worthy. Each one of them has learned the aspects of the

:21:53.:21:58.

control, and each one of those individuals comes together as a

:21:58.:22:03.

team, so bake take their engineering degrees and turn it

:22:03.:22:06.

into a system to beat the world. The team are flying out to

:22:06.:22:09.

Washington to represent the UK and will compete against countries from

:22:09.:22:13.

all over the world. Only one person can fit in the submarine and so it

:22:13.:22:18.

is all down to the power of one. the back, there are two toe clips

:22:18.:22:23.

which I put my feet into, and using that I power the paddle at the back.

:22:23.:22:27.

There is a window so I can look straight down, designed for the

:22:27.:22:31.

race because the race has a long line of fairy lights on the bottom

:22:31.:22:37.

which indicate the course. There will be two submarines racing. One

:22:37.:22:41.

of them is this, which has a propeller, but it comes down to

:22:41.:22:50.

brute force and how quickly you can cycle. The other one mimics an

:22:50.:22:55.

animal. It uses the same oscillating wings as a sea lion to

:22:56.:22:59.

move through the water. It is tradition to launch submarines with

:22:59.:23:02.

a bottle of beer, and the students today were only too happy to help.

:23:02.:23:05.

So, with the testing complete, the team are now confident they can

:23:05.:23:15.
:23:15.:23:16.

pedal their way to a winning podium. Wonderful, I would love to see them

:23:16.:23:19.

in a pit stop. That's about it from me in the

:23:19.:23:22.

studio for now, but I'll be back with a round-up of all today's news

:23:22.:23:25.

at 10pm. Now, though, time to join Imogen again at Bristol's new

:23:25.:23:31.

multi-million pound museum. Where are you now, Imogen?

:23:31.:23:36.

This is one of the highlights of the M Shed. The architecture of the

:23:36.:23:40.

building has meant there are floor- to-ceiling glass walls on each

:23:40.:23:44.

floor, giving you a magnificent view across the harbour. Not quite

:23:44.:23:48.

the weather they hoped for the opening ceremony, and we will have

:23:48.:23:52.

a full forecast in a moment, but as it opened to the public today I

:23:52.:23:57.

thought we should find out what the public has made of it. Tina, what

:23:57.:24:02.

did you make of it? It was fantastic, really, really good. I

:24:02.:24:06.

was not expecting so many interactive things for the children.

:24:06.:24:12.

We love it. It was great. What was the best bits? I liked the air raid

:24:12.:24:18.

shelters and the bus. Did you like it, Oscar? I like it all. Is it

:24:18.:24:23.

still a Friday, though? Yes it is still Friday! What was the

:24:23.:24:27.

highlight for you, Nikkei? thought it was all good, lots of

:24:27.:24:34.

interesting things to look at, some quirky things from the Bristol

:24:34.:24:44.

Royal Infirmary. Some of the bits are quite macabre. What about you,

:24:44.:24:48.

what did you like? There was nothing to not like, it was all

:24:48.:24:52.

really good. With a seal of approval like that, you cannot go

:24:52.:24:58.

wrong. The weather, however, tells a different story, so let's get the

:24:58.:25:07.

It does no good down there, I will be making a visit myself. If I

:25:07.:25:12.

chase -- it does look good. If I choose a day to get out, it will be

:25:12.:25:17.

Sunday, because tomorrow looks quite right. We had a respite today

:25:17.:25:21.

before the rain arrived this afternoon, and the rain will make a

gradual clearance but stays with us overnight and into tomorrow.

:25:24.:25:30.

Another weekend of two hearts, heavy showers tomorrow and Sunday

:25:30.:25:35.

is drier and brighter. It is because of the low-pressure that

:25:35.:25:41.

tomorrow will be unsettled, heavy showers pushing through tomorrow

:25:41.:25:45.

with a strengthening wind. So as we go through the rest of this evening

:25:45.:25:50.

and night, still rein around as we saw at the harbourside, but it is

clearing, it will push away but heavy showers to follow right off

:26:03.:26:09.

Not particularly cold, though. But from the word go tomorrow, the

:26:09.:26:14.

showers making their presence felt, frequent, intense, heavy at times,

:26:14.:26:19.

possibly a rumble of thunder. The down draft of the shower was

:26:19.:26:22.

combined with the strong westerly wind means the highs will really

struggle. You will need a sheltered spot out of the breeze to get

anywhere need 16 and 17th -- to get anywhere near 16 and 17. Into

tomorrow evening, the showers continue, so if you have any at --

:26:38.:26:41.

if you have any evening activities planned, not the greatest evening

heavy shower on Saturday but on This is my friend, he told me off

because I did not ask him a question. He is five.

:27:18.:27:21.

Now if you are planning to come down to the harbour this weekend,

:27:21.:27:25.

there is lots for you to see. The BBC's Festival of Nature is also on.

:27:25.:27:27.

There is the chance to meet wildlife experts and presenters

from the Natural History Unit and Points West. And plenty of hands-on
