Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight:

:00:10.:00:14.

A husband is charged with the murder of his wife. He's alleged to

:00:14.:00:18.

have killed after a decade nursing her through Alzheimer's.

:00:18.:00:23.

Boarded up - the hospital where mistakes were made at all levels.

:00:23.:00:29.

Why did the CQC not do their job and investigate earlier? Why was it

:00:29.:00:34.

left so long, when somebody had clearly raised the alarm?

:00:34.:00:37.

A new defence role is announced for Lyneham after the RAF pull out

:00:37.:00:43.

leaving a hole in the economy. And. Tom, you're going to become my

:00:43.:00:48.

business partner. You're hired. sweet moment for Tom from Bath

:00:48.:00:58.
:00:58.:01:00.

University, as Lord Sugar says, Good evening. A pensioner who spent

:01:00.:01:03.

the past decade caring for his disabled wife, has appeared in

:01:03.:01:06.

court accused of killing her. Malcolm Beardon, who is seventy

:01:06.:01:11.

nine, is tonight in a prison cell charged with murder.

:01:11.:01:14.

Neighbours in the Somerset town of Wellington have described the

:01:14.:01:17.

couple as devoted and say this is a tragedy which has shocked the

:01:17.:01:21.

entire community. Clinton Rogers has the story.

:01:21.:01:24.

This is 78-year-old Margaret Beardon, who in recent years had

:01:24.:01:29.

become disabled by dementia. This is where she lived with her husband

:01:30.:01:33.

Malcolm, who according to friends spent the last ten years as her

:01:33.:01:37.

full time carer. But on Friday, police were called here to find Mrs

:01:37.:01:42.

Beardon dead. And today her husband appeared in court charged with her

:01:42.:01:47.

murder. The hearing at Taunton Magistrates Court lasted just a few

:01:48.:01:52.

minutes. He was not required to enter a plea of either guilty or

:01:52.:01:55.

not guilty and was remanded in custody to appear at Exeter Crown

:01:55.:01:59.

Court on Wednesday. In Wellington this afternoon, neighbours reacted

:01:59.:02:08.

with shock and spoke of a devoted couple. Head believed that she

:02:08.:02:15.

suffered from dementia for many years. -- I believe. He had looked

:02:15.:02:23.

after our for all of that time. is very sad, because people showed

:02:23.:02:26.

dedication and look after their loved ones all these years, and

:02:26.:02:30.

then the pressure gets too much, and it appears that this is what

:02:30.:02:34.

happened. My thoughts go led to the family and anyone connected,

:02:34.:02:38.

because it is a very tragic time for everyone concerned. Tonight,

:02:38.:02:41.

the family issued a statement which read: "The past few days have been

:02:42.:02:44.

extremely stressful for all involved. We would ask that the

:02:44.:02:47.

media respect the privacy of the family while we provide care and

:02:47.:02:51.

support to our father who we love dearly". Mr Beardon is due to

:02:51.:02:57.

appear at Exeter Crown Court on Wednesday.

:02:57.:03:00.

Around 200 mourners attended the funeral today of Becky Godden

:03:00.:03:05.

Edwards in Swindon. Her remains were found in a shallow grave by

:03:05.:03:08.

police in Gloucestershire earlier this year. 47-year-old Christopher

:03:08.:03:10.

Halliwell, a taxi driver from Swindon, has been charged with her

:03:10.:03:17.

murder. Steve Knibbs reports. If there is anything to come from

:03:17.:03:20.

this tragedy so far, today was an important step for Becky Godden

:03:20.:03:25.

Edwards family. But it is, of course, the day they hoped they'd

:03:25.:03:34.

never see. I think this is the welcoming home and a farewell all-

:03:34.:03:39.

in-one for Becky. Her mother said she will never have a wedding, but

:03:40.:03:44.

she will have today, and this is their way to bring closure to all

:03:44.:03:50.

of this waiting. The congregation were told today that Becky was a

:03:50.:03:52.

bright, intelligent girl - reflected in the request for

:03:52.:03:59.

mourners to wear something pink. A family friend paid tribute to Becky

:03:59.:04:03.

saying that she remained a loving and kind daughter. She never forgot

:04:03.:04:08.

Mother's Day. She said to the congregation, that nobody should

:04:08.:04:12.

judge her because they do not know what is to come. But in her teens,

:04:12.:04:15.

she turned to drugs and became disconnected from her family. She

:04:15.:04:17.

eventually went missing. Despite extensive searches for her at the

:04:18.:04:20.

time, her fate was only discovered earlier this year. Police

:04:20.:04:23.

investigating the murder of Sian O' Callaghan from Swindon, found a set

:04:23.:04:26.

of human remains in a field at Eastleach in Gloucestershire. A

:04:26.:04:29.

match on the national DNA database confirmed it was Becky. Her parents

:04:29.:04:38.

were told the news on what would have been her 29th birthday.

:04:38.:04:40.

Christopher Halliwell, a Swindon taxi driver, has been charged with

:04:40.:04:43.

Becky's murder and that of Sian O Callghan. He's due in court later

:04:43.:04:46.

this month to enter pleas. Amongst the mourners today was Sian O'

:04:46.:04:50.

callaghan's grandmother - she told me she was here as a mark of

:04:50.:04:52.

solidarity between to the two families. After the service,

:04:52.:04:55.

Becky's family and close friends left for the crematorium. A chance

:04:55.:04:58.

for them to say a private goodbye to someone's who's passing has been

:04:58.:05:08.
:05:08.:05:10.

very public. The future of the RAF base at

:05:10.:05:13.

Lyneham in Wiltshire has been secured. After years of uncertainty,

:05:13.:05:16.

the Defence Secretary, Liam Fox announced in the Commons this

:05:16.:05:23.

afternoon that the base still has a military future. The Defence

:05:23.:05:26.

technical training programme will move to Lyneham, guaranteeing its

:05:26.:05:31.

future. These details are in the written statement I have laid out

:05:31.:05:37.

today. The planning work, including the investment required, will now

:05:37.:05:40.

get under way based on strategic direction. It involves

:05:40.:05:44.

consultations with local community and statutory obligations that we

:05:44.:05:52.

need to fell. I am very aware of the changes this well cause for

:05:52.:05:55.

service personnel and their families. Let me assure them that

:05:55.:06:00.

these events will take place after 2015. In a moment we'll be getting

:06:00.:06:03.

reactions from people who live in Lyneham, but first we're joined

:06:03.:06:05.

from Westminster by James Gray, the Conservative MP for North Wiltshire

:06:05.:06:15.
:06:15.:06:15.

- who has long campaigned to keep a military presence there. Defence

:06:16.:06:24.

technical training, what is this? This is about 1500 service people

:06:24.:06:29.

rising to 2,000 people, possibly more in the future, people that are

:06:29.:06:33.

training in their technical aspects of defence, that might be

:06:33.:06:37.

engineering, road-building, car maintenance, and electrics,

:06:37.:06:42.

information technology, those technical aspects of going to war

:06:42.:06:46.

need to be trained and highly qualified civilian trainees and

:06:46.:06:50.

trainers do this work. It is spread around England at the moment, the

:06:50.:06:54.

idea is to have a centre of excellence at RAF Lyneham.

:06:54.:07:00.

Thousands of people have left Lyneham, how close is this to what

:07:00.:07:06.

she wanted? It is brilliant news for the whole area. We will have

:07:06.:07:09.

opted to 1,000 servers people and a few hundred trainers and educators

:07:09.:07:14.

and technicians, all of them moving to the area, the school, the pubs

:07:14.:07:17.

everything will have the business that they are losing it because the

:07:17.:07:23.

RAF relieving, we will see a revival in the economy of the area.

:07:24.:07:27.

There will be investment, hundreds of millions of pounds of investment

:07:27.:07:31.

in it, the area would benefit from it and we said a sad goodbye to the

:07:31.:07:36.

RAF a few weeks ago, but now we can look forward to the army moving in

:07:36.:07:42.

as soon as 2013. I was going to ask about the timescale, because Liam

:07:42.:07:46.

Fox mentioned 2015, you said it would be reasonably swift and you

:07:46.:07:51.

mentioned 2013, so what you think we are looking at? They wanted as

:07:51.:07:57.

soon as possible, because two bases in Hampshire that they are leaving,

:07:57.:08:00.

they it is high quality building land, and they want to get the cash

:08:00.:08:05.

from that. -- that is high quality. There is a lot of work to be done

:08:05.:08:10.

on the base, it is tired after 50 years of the RAF there, so

:08:10.:08:15.

hopefully there will be local jobs doing that work. From 2013 on words,

:08:15.:08:20.

the military will start to move them, and by 2014, it should be

:08:20.:08:25.

completed, so a new college. It boils down to being a technical

:08:25.:08:29.

college for the armed services, going a fully by 2014. Thank you

:08:29.:08:35.

for making it a bit clearer for us. A day they too were delighted about.

:08:35.:08:40.

Many years of campaigning by a local people.

:08:40.:08:44.

Well for people who live in Lyneham, the future of the airbase is a

:08:44.:08:47.

hugely important issue. So what do they make of today's announcement?

:08:47.:08:50.

Our Wiltshire reporter, Scott Ellis is at the Mallard Pub there for us

:08:50.:08:55.

now. They have waited many years for

:08:55.:09:00.

this decision, so let's find out what they think on the grand jury

:09:00.:09:05.

of Lynam, the local councillor, Alison, what you think? It was a

:09:05.:09:08.

very well-kept secret, we are delighted with the news. Thank you

:09:08.:09:14.

to him for the campaign that he has run. That allows for the community.

:09:14.:09:19.

And the parish council, are you 100 % have the or cautious? We are

:09:19.:09:25.

happy with the announcement, we are a bit cautious, the Devil has

:09:25.:09:29.

always in the detail. It is not that it will absolutely happen. You

:09:29.:09:34.

had plans for racing car, but none of the base will be sold off now,

:09:34.:09:41.

what you think? -- plans for a theme park. This was always plan B.

:09:41.:09:44.

We want to safeguard the area if there was no military involvement,

:09:44.:09:49.

now, the military business were blown back here, so business will

:09:49.:09:53.

boom as well. We lost about 20 % of our business with the RAF leaving,

:09:53.:09:59.

I think we will get that back now. You're doing your last shift in RAF

:09:59.:10:05.

Lyneham tonight. Yes, last shift, hopefully it will be a positive

:10:05.:10:10.

move. What you think people outside Lyneham will think about this new

:10:10.:10:15.

defence training package coming? is very positive. It is very

:10:15.:10:20.

positive for the village, business and everything. We have had calls

:10:20.:10:25.

from Australia saying congratulations. We have to talk to

:10:25.:10:29.

their landlord, he has noticed business is tailing off, just

:10:30.:10:33.

finally, are you pleased to see that there will be 1500 soldiers

:10:33.:10:37.

moving here eventually? If very, very pleased, it would be great for

:10:37.:10:41.

the village. We could do with an uplift after the last six or seven

:10:41.:10:49.

months. Thank you all very much for talking to us. The Hercules is

:10:49.:10:52.

sadly missed and it will be a tough act to follow. A thumbs-up for the

:10:52.:11:00.

new defence training package. Thank you.

:11:00.:11:03.

You're watching BBC Points West with Alex and David - and you're

:11:03.:11:05.

most welcome. Coming up on tonight's programme:

:11:05.:11:09.

Hoping for a sprint finish. We meet the Bath athlete with his eyes on

:11:09.:11:18.

the prize at London 2012. The body of a Bristol man has been

:11:18.:11:21.

found at the side of a road in Wales. The 27-year-old, who hasn't

:11:21.:11:24.

been identified, was discovered on a road near Pontllanfraith in

:11:24.:11:30.

Caerphilly, early on Sunday morning. The Police are examining CCTV

:11:30.:11:32.

footage and conducting house-to- house inquiries to find out what

:11:32.:11:38.

happened to him. His next of kin are being informed.

:11:38.:11:43.

One of Bath's biggest employers is laying off a tenth of its workforce.

:11:43.:11:46.

Future Publishing produces over 80 magazines, on everything from

:11:46.:11:50.

guitars to knitting. A thousand staff work at its offices in the

:11:50.:11:54.

city, but now 100 jobs have been cut. Sales of print magazines have

:11:54.:11:56.

declined recently, especially in America, but the company's websites

:11:56.:12:03.

are doing much better. "A systemic failure to protect the

:12:03.:12:07.

vulnerable or investigate allegations of abuse". That's the

:12:07.:12:10.

conclusion of a damning report into a private hospital near Bristol -

:12:10.:12:13.

for people with learning difficulties. Winterbourne View has

:12:13.:12:18.

since closed down and a total of 12 people have been arrested. Today,

:12:18.:12:20.

the government regulator, the Care Quality Commission, released its

:12:21.:12:26.

report into the hospital. Dickon Hooper has been reading through it

:12:26.:12:36.
:12:36.:12:39.

and joins me now. Does this report give you any

:12:39.:12:48.

conferred? At this point no. Annie confer to?

:12:48.:12:52.

Ann has more reason than most to want to see this report. This is

:12:52.:12:55.

her son Simon in care at Winterbourne View. Today, we met up

:12:55.:12:58.

with Ann again as the government watchdog released its repo rt into

:12:58.:13:01.

what it found here after the BBC had gone in undercover. It talks

:13:01.:13:04.

about a systemic failure to protect people or investigate abuse. A

:13:04.:13:07.

failure to protect patients from risk and that staff did not

:13:07.:13:14.

understand the needs of people in their care People like Simon.

:13:14.:13:21.

quite shocked. It seems to me they had managed to put the blame on

:13:21.:13:28.

everybody and white wash themselves. I feel very strongly that all of

:13:28.:13:30.

the agencies were to blame. Everybody must carry their portion

:13:30.:13:34.

of blame. Winterbourne View is now boarded up and closed down. It was

:13:34.:13:41.

run by Castlebeck. All their hospitals have been reviewed by the

:13:41.:13:45.

government watchdog. And today they accepted what the CQC had to say.

:13:45.:13:50.

It is apparent there were failings, and having looked at it in details,

:13:50.:13:55.

we can see that there are a number of issues that we should have seen

:13:55.:13:59.

earlier answer to picked up earlier as clearly did not. Cold comfort

:13:59.:14:02.

for the man who blew the whistle on this. Although Castlebeck have

:14:02.:14:07.

tightened up their Winterbourne View policy, he's calling for more.

:14:07.:14:11.

An independent public inquiry is the only way to get the information

:14:11.:14:16.

together and see the full picture and move on a bit. I would like to

:14:16.:14:21.

see policy changed in these places. Asian not exist. If that happens,

:14:21.:14:24.

this is the big victory. But all the inquries and reports won't

:14:24.:14:27.

change what happened, leaving parents like Ann with unanswered

:14:27.:14:35.

questions for the agencies that failed to protect her son. Why did

:14:35.:14:40.

beseech you see not do their job and investigate earlier? -- y de

:14:40.:14:45.

Care Quality Commission at do their job? Why he didn't not do anything

:14:45.:14:49.

when the alarm was raised. Well, Ian Biggs from the CQC joins

:14:49.:14:52.

me live in the studio to answer those questions. Why did you not

:14:52.:14:58.

intervene sooner? The report this morning is one that tries to lay

:14:58.:15:02.

out the underlying facts associated with the failings. We acknowledge

:15:02.:15:06.

that when we were contacted, we did not respond as quickly as we could

:15:06.:15:12.

have, and he has also acknowledged that the kind of emerged that the

:15:12.:15:17.

programme showed us was a shock to him as anybody else. -- the kind of

:15:17.:15:21.

image. We inspected at the following day and caught them very

:15:21.:15:27.

quickly. In the report, you put all of the blame on the management for

:15:27.:15:31.

what went wrong, but he also blamed them for not telling you that

:15:31.:15:35.

things were going wrong, but that is your job to find out. As they

:15:35.:15:39.

register provider, they have a legal responsibility to inform us

:15:39.:15:43.

when things go wrong, but of course, the whole some responsibility as

:15:44.:15:48.

well for not reacting as quickly as we should. You cannot expect them

:15:48.:15:51.

to tell you when things are going wrong, if that is a ridiculous

:15:51.:15:54.

thing to trust them to put their hand up and say we're doing a

:15:54.:16:01.

terrible job here. Not all providers will be a been that way.

:16:01.:16:04.

Most providers behave themselves well and understand their

:16:04.:16:09.

responsibilities, but word that doesn't happen, we need to redouble

:16:09.:16:14.

efforts to uncover these activities and act quickly. Can you give any

:16:14.:16:18.

reassurance to residents of other hospitals run by this company?

:16:18.:16:23.

have carried out inspections by other services in this company, and

:16:23.:16:26.

his inspectors had been completed and we are now deciding what action

:16:26.:16:30.

to take, if we need to take any further action, and there were

:16:30.:16:35.

published this in a few weeks' time. OK. Thank you. A

:16:35.:16:38.

A psychologist treating the Bristol businessman, accused of murdering

:16:38.:16:41.

his wife, has told his extradition hearing, that he is unfit to travel

:16:41.:16:44.

to South Africa. The authorities there want Shrien Dewani to stand

:16:44.:16:48.

trial for ordering his wife Anni to be shot dead on their honeymoon. Mr

:16:48.:16:50.

Dewani denies the accusations and is fighting extradition. John

:16:50.:16:59.

Maguire reports from Woolwich Crown Court.

:16:59.:17:05.

IVAs, sometimes close and walking slowly, Shrien Dewani or ride in

:17:05.:17:08.

court this morning escorted by family and staff from the Mental

:17:08.:17:13.

Health Unit in Bristol where he is receiving treatment. -- Shrien

:17:13.:17:19.

Dewani arrived in court. It took just a few minutes for him to leave

:17:19.:17:24.

the court and returned to Bristol into care. He's been treated with

:17:24.:17:27.

post-traumatic stress disorder after the murder of his wife in

:17:27.:17:34.

Africa last year. His barristers said it would be inhumane to keep

:17:34.:17:39.

him here and that he was very frail. The judge said that he was

:17:39.:17:42.

persuaded by medical advice that by forcing it Shrien Dewani to attend

:17:42.:17:47.

court and sit through the hearings, it would significantly worse than

:17:47.:17:51.

his condition. The court was told he suffers with two conditions,

:17:51.:17:57.

severe depression and severe post- traumatic stress disorder. Here at

:17:57.:18:01.

the secure mental health unit, he is checked every half an hour. His

:18:01.:18:06.

doctor, a consultant psychologist, said that Shrien Dewani could not

:18:06.:18:10.

take anti-depressant medication due to a medical condition, so his

:18:10.:18:15.

therapy is based around talking and it is impossible to say when he

:18:15.:18:19.

could be cured. He testified that being sent to South Africa to face

:18:19.:18:24.

trial would make his bow as much worse and would increase his risk

:18:24.:18:28.

of killing himself. -- would make his film as much worse. All of the

:18:28.:18:35.

evidence was listened to intently by the family is sitting just feet

:18:35.:18:39.

apart but hoping for a very different outcome to this

:18:39.:18:45.

extradition hearing. Now sport, and time to meet another

:18:45.:18:50.

of our athletes aiming to make a big impact at London 2012. Today

:18:50.:18:53.

it's a sprinter from Bath, who is one of our brightest hopes for a

:18:53.:18:59.

medal at the Paralympics. Ben Rushgrove was born with

:18:59.:19:01.

cerebral palsy, but has become one of the country's top sprinters,

:19:01.:19:05.

winning silver at the last games in Beijing. And as Alistair Durden

:19:05.:19:14.

reports, this time next year he's aiming to go one better. I like the

:19:14.:19:19.

idea that I am trying to see how good I can beat, to see how Farrer

:19:19.:19:22.

can push my body, where the limits are.

:19:22.:19:25.

It's an attitude that's taken Ben Rushgrove to the top of his sport.

:19:25.:19:28.

His battle to overcome cerebral palsy and hearing problems is now

:19:28.:19:37.

an inspiration to others. Sport has given me that platform to allow me

:19:37.:19:44.

to try and change people's attitudes and prove that disabled

:19:44.:19:48.

people are not people that should be told to shut up and they're no

:19:48.:19:52.

use to society. Ben is 23, and was born and brought up in Bath. He

:19:52.:19:55.

runs both the 100 and 200 metres. But running isn't everything for

:19:55.:20:00.

Ben - a family BBQ reveals the other love of his life. Food is my

:20:00.:20:06.

number two passion. I don't care who cooks at, but I do like food!

:20:06.:20:09.

He's the oldest of three children and family support has been

:20:09.:20:16.

important to him. If you didn't know him, he would not know that he

:20:16.:20:19.

was disabled, so a lot of that time, you wouldn't even know he was an

:20:19.:20:24.

athlete! Every so often for 10 seconds of the year, he makes magic

:20:24.:20:30.

happen. It is very special. Beijing was the first time that I really

:20:30.:20:34.

saw him run. That was my brother, that was on the same track as Usain

:20:34.:20:39.

Bolt. That was pretty special. silver medal was something of a

:20:39.:20:45.

miracle. Ben finished second, despite having a broken foot.

:20:45.:20:50.

was ridiculously difficult. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody

:20:50.:20:53.

else. But having said all of that, I wouldn't change what I did for

:20:53.:20:57.

the world. I had one opportunity to really go for it and make the most

:20:57.:21:02.

of it, and you just never know. You do not know when you'll get an

:21:02.:21:05.

opportunity like that again. Ben's house if full of career memorabilia

:21:05.:21:15.
:21:15.:21:15.

- some in usual places. We did this come from? I might have stolen it!

:21:15.:21:24.

And might have stolen it from the BBC! You have got all of you

:21:24.:21:28.

Paralympic towels and unbelievably, this is for you keep your world

:21:28.:21:34.

record Certificate! It is just a joke gets back like everything

:21:34.:21:38.

else! Somewhere to put it! London could bring more souvenirs. But he

:21:38.:21:44.

may have to break that World record again. He will win more than one

:21:44.:21:48.

medal at the London Paralympics, I am that confident. I will not tell

:21:49.:21:54.

you what collared the medal will be, but he will win two medals at the

:21:54.:22:02.

Paralympics in London. Faith that seems entirely justified.

:22:02.:22:07.

We look forward to reporting his success in 2012. If I had any

:22:07.:22:12.

awards, I would put them in the bathroom, but I haven't got any!

:22:12.:22:16.

For a bathroom! Bless! I don't know how you manage!

:22:16.:22:20.

He puts his hand up when he wants to talk and he's been known to nod

:22:20.:22:25.

a fair amount and to get just a little bit flustered.

:22:25.:22:27.

He is, of course, Tom Pellereau, winner of The Apprentice. The

:22:27.:22:31.

secret of his success? Well he puts it all down to everything he learnt

:22:31.:22:34.

on his degree course at the University of Bath. Here's Jules

:22:34.:22:39.

Hyam. Well this was the grand final grand

:22:39.:22:49.
:22:49.:22:53.

finale. There's Helen. There's our Tom. Tom, you would become my

:22:53.:22:59.

business partner, you are hired. Tom wins. And what a popular winner.

:22:59.:23:03.

The self confessed nerd - all round nice guy - and the politest man on

:23:03.:23:06.

TV. He is everything you'd expect from someone who studied here in

:23:06.:23:16.
:23:16.:23:17.

the west. He is very much like what he came across on the TV programme,

:23:17.:23:23.

he is self-effacing, very clear thinking. I think it is the self-

:23:23.:23:27.

effacing attitude that really comes across strongly. He is not arrogant.

:23:27.:23:32.

He is not a salesperson. He is what he is. And what he is - is Alan

:23:32.:23:42.
:23:42.:23:43.

Sugar's new business partner. That is despite not winning all of the

:23:43.:23:47.

tasks, and at being pursued. Sulphur face of, creative and a

:23:47.:23:53.

nice guy. They ate the sum him up. But here at the University of Bath,

:23:53.:23:57.

he would have learnt about different issues, like defensible

:23:57.:24:00.

space, hierarchy of needs, principles of design that would

:24:00.:24:05.

have stood him in very good stead. Maybe there is some legs in

:24:05.:24:12.

offering a chair. We are delighted for Tom that he has got this

:24:12.:24:15.

product design business plan and it is all about what makes up the mix

:24:15.:24:20.

of subjects that we do here. We gave him the scope to extend his

:24:20.:24:26.

experience and knowledge in creativity in the design context,

:24:26.:24:30.

so we are delighted that we gave him a start on his road to success.

:24:30.:24:36.

The winner of the apprentice, 2011, Tom!

:24:36.:24:46.
:24:46.:24:47.

They should be proud of him. The house lovely, adorable.

:24:47.:24:51.

He invented a nail file, you're sort of guy, really!

:24:51.:25:01.
:25:01.:25:05.

Not sure people were happy with the weekend weather. I was at Ashton

:25:05.:25:11.

Court yesterday and it was very changeable. Tomorrow, so mixed

:25:11.:25:16.

fortunes. A good deal of dry weather. A chance of some sunshine

:25:16.:25:20.

for some people during tomorrow. At low pressure in the North Sea has

:25:20.:25:27.

been the dominating part through the weekend. The pressure started

:25:27.:25:31.

to rise slowly. Tomorrow, and North westerly flow with a distribution

:25:31.:25:38.

of shares that is changing. The rainfall radar and the last few

:25:38.:25:45.

days, it shows how much rain has crossed to the east. In Wiltshire,

:25:45.:25:49.

some more showers and following into West Somerset. For the rest of

:25:49.:25:57.

the evening, many parts will dry out. A few showers following behind.

:25:57.:26:02.

The wind, being lighter overnight. Some cloud and under these

:26:02.:26:10.

conditions, 10 or 11 degrees. Tomorrow, the wind will move around

:26:10.:26:13.

to the north-west meaning there will be some districts that will

:26:13.:26:18.

see a good deal of dry weather. Some brighter spells developing,

:26:19.:26:24.

particularly in the south-east. Some showers in West Somerset,

:26:24.:26:28.

particularly in parts of Gloucestershire. Some moderately

:26:28.:26:33.

heavy at times. By the evening, should be dry for most of us. Sunny

:26:33.:26:40.

spots with temperatures reaching maybe 20 degrees Celsius. There are

:26:40.:26:45.

changes under way as we get to the weekend. Gradually, high-pressure

:26:45.:26:50.

is trying to move its way to the south-west of the British Isles.

:26:50.:26:53.

Before that happens, some complications on the way, so there

:26:53.:26:57.

will be some showers about, but less and less with each day and by

:26:57.:27:01.

the time we reach Friday and the weekend, we should see a different

:27:01.:27:06.

weekend to what we had just had. Temperatures around 18, 19 degrees

:27:07.:27:11.

through Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, the chance of one or two showers.

:27:11.:27:17.

By Friday, Saturday, Sunday, it should be dry, brighter and some

:27:17.:27:20.

improvement into the last week of July at least.

:27:20.:27:26.

Thank you. If you did to miss any of the

:27:26.:27:32.

highlights of the Air tattoo at RAF Fairford, go on to the BBC website

:27:32.:27:34.

and you can see the highlights. They were wonderful if you couldn't
