Hello. Welcome to the programme. In the Points West headlines tonight. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
Fpt the thief jailed for stealing an elderly couple's life savings. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
The man told the bank he was their grandson and stripped their account | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
of nearly �50,000. Also tonight, the buildings in Bath | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
where squatters have set up their own shops. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
The Apprentices are told they're hired as the council takes on new | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
young workers. And the multimillion scanner | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
unlocking the seek receipts of our brains while we sleep -- secrets. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
A man's been jailed today for stealing an elderly couple's life | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
savings. 29-year-old Martin Thompson of Longwell Green in South | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Gloucestershire duped two separate banks and the Post Office telling | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
them he was the grandson of Bertie and Marion Haskins. In truth, he | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
was a fraudster who made off with nearly �50,000 of their money | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
spending Sol on expensive holidays. Martin Thompson's behind bars | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
tonight from a fraud which spanned five years. Bertie and Marion | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
Haskins lived in this cows in cat bri Heath -- house in Cadbury Heath | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
for nearly 50 years. They 100% put their trust in him. | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
They looked upon him, I suppose, like a grandson. If I told you he | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
made off with � 48,000 from the couple upstairs what would your | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
reaction be? I would be gobsmacked. Totally gobsmacked at that. I did | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
hear of a figure, but it was half of that. I'm really quite shocked | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
and sad. Having befriended the has kins Thompson tricked them into | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
allowing him to sign their cheques it. Meant he could help himself to | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
their savings at two banks. It paid for lavish holidays until the | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
couple's rent and bills went into arrears: A neighbour also | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
challenged Thompson and alerted the police who began an investigation. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
We spoke to the family of Mr & Mrs Haskins today. They remain | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
convinced that the stress of finding out that their friend had | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
robbed them of their life safings caused the couple a great deal of | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
ill health. In fact, Mrs Haskins passed away in hospital in May this | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
year. And the family say there wasn't even enough money left to | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
provide her with a proper burial service with flowers. The family | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
hope to recover some of the cash to pay for Mr Haskins healthcare. | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
After pleading guilty today at Bristol Crown Court, Thompson was | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
jailed for three-and-a-half years. Squatters have moved into one of | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
the west's most well known shopping streets. Over the past few weeks | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
Bath has experienced illegal traders moving into prime empty | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
retail units. As our Bath reporter has been finding out solving the | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
problem's not as straightforward as you might think. | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
Like many towns and cities across the west there are many empty | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
shopping. These shops can be vulnerable to squatters. The owners | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
of this building in central Bath say it has happened here. A women's | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
clothes chain went into administration in June and without | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
permission, the traders moved in using a name not registered with | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
Companies House. The traders do not want us film ing in there. They've | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
handed over what they call a life changing sum of money to a man | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
called Tom who they think works for the landlord and that will cover | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
the rent until September. On further questioning, they say maybe | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
they might be in the wrong shop unit. Whatever, they are certain | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
they are not squatters. We don't know who they are. The inquiry | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
people for the rates have been in but they won't give any names. | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
While in there, they are paying no rent, rates, electricity bills or | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
VAT. A shop in this location costs around �5,000 a week in rent rates | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
and utilities. I have two shops. The cost of running shows shops is | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
more than �100,000 per year. You feel the pinch when someone's down | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
the road selling cheaper stuff than you and she have no out goings. It | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
is ridiculous. Shop owners are so worried extra security's being put | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
on to protect any empty units. The police say it is a matter for the | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
civil courts unless there's evidence of a break-in. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
We have pow tors enforce rules around not selling count E-fit | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
goods, goods being properly priced and described but not pow tors shut | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
down the shops. Until a few days ago, this shop was occupied by | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
illegal traders. Only the threat of civil action which took weeks to | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
get through the courts seemed to move them on. Until the matter's | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
addressed at Government level, it seems the squat shops remain in a | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
loophole that no-one has the power to close. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Liberal Democrats in the West have been praised for bucking the | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
national trend at the party's annual conference. They are meeting | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
in Birmingham after recent disappointments in the recent local | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
elections. But the party's keen to highlight parts of the West which | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
have done well. Earlier, I asked our Political Editor what the he | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
mood's been like today. I'd have to say, Chris, it is better than a lot | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
of us had expected given the difficult year the Liberal | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Democrats have had. Having said that, numbers are down. 1,000 | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
fewers people attending this year in spite of a record number of | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
journalists coming on in. Don foster took to the stage at the | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
conference rally, told a few jokes. Went down fairly well. At a drinks | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
event I caught up with some of the West Country Liberal Democrats. | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Pretty good mood all round. I talked to the Cheltenham np Martin | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
Hoard. He said a lot of members are putting their weight and sport | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
support behind their leader. We are a party that's used to pulling | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
together in hard times snoofplt these have been tricky times | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
politically. It is a family. have pulled together. We've rallied | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
behind Nick who's taken a huge amount of personal abuse. I think | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
it has increased the loyalty to him. What about those dreadful local | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
election results, Paul? No getting away from them, really. There's | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
been no hiding from the fact it was awful. They lost control of Bristol | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
where they had a majority. But the West Country's been talked about as | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
the place where they did better than anywhere else. In the | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Cotswolds they doubled their numbers. In Barton they took seats | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
off the Conservatives. I've talked to the Deputy Leader of Banes | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
council Nathan Hartley. With newspapers, we've quite a right- | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
wing press in this country which isn't particularly helpful. We, the | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
grass roots, the members through leaflets, press releases, door | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
knocking tell people about the things we are doing in Government. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
Be more confident in telling people what we are doing. | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
They've a lot of work to do. they are to make up that ground and | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
bounce back at the next general election. It is Chris and Alex with | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
you this evening. Thank you for starting your week with us. Coming | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
up tonight: Horrible history. On the anniversary of his death, local | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
film makers aim to prove whether or not King Edward II really did meet | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
a gruesome end in Derekly Casling. -- Berkeley Castle. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
With the most recent unemployment figures showing a huge rise in the | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
number of young people looking for work, apprenticeships are becoming | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
increasingly popular. Bristol City Council welcomed its 22 new faces | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
today chosen from over00 applicants. More and more businesses are being | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
encouraged to do the same. They are apprentices in the more | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
traditional meaning of the word, until that is, you ask them what | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
jobs at Bristol City council they are training for? I'll work as an | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
apprentice in the press and media department. Business and admin | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
department. Business and administration young people and | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
children skills. Not Lord sugar but the Lord Mayor of Bristol welcomed | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
this latest intake. They've come a long way having been chosen from | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
hundreds of young people. They also met some predecessors who shared | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
their experience of the scheme. lot of my mates have their | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
quailifications from uni and college and find it hard to get | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
work. They haven't experience of working life. I thought it would be | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
easier to get that experience and get the qualifications while hymn' | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
learning. It is really beneficial to be be able to say I do this on a | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
daily basis. Experience is always beneficial. The best way to learn | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
how to strip down and rebuild and engine is to do it. Phil Thomas is | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
an apprentice engineer with a bright future. I have a small | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
income. Hopefully, in the following years, they could pay for me to go | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
on to university or further education. Politicians from all | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
sides are trying to figure out the best way to get young people into | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
training, work or education. Today, the Shadow Business Secretary said | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
there's still much more to be achieved. We need more apprentices. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
We should say if you're going to get a contract with the Government | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
or local government, you should be required to create an | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
apprenticeship for young people. Secondly, we should put back into | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
the law the guarantee that Labour had which was a young person with | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
the right quailifications is gaurpb teed an aBritainitiesship. | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
Guarantees may prove hard to come by in the kour rent climate. As for | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
the future, it's in their hands. One of our MPs is very passion | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
eight about this. Richard Graham is the Conservative MP for Gloucester. | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
He's been actively campaign in Parliament for more apprentices and | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
has taken one of his own on. Apprenticeships are great news. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
They are good for businesses. Help businesss to grow. Good for getting | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
young people into jobs. They help improve our skill rates. Good news | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
for the young people taken on. But an added expense, an added burden | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
for businesses when times are tough? You could look at it like | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
that or as a great opportunity. For relatively small amounts of money, | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
it is up to the business how many hours a week The Apprentice works, | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
you have the opportunity to have a bright young person working in your | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
office. If you work work into it you'll get a lot the prod | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
productivity out of your apprentice. The The Apprentice startups are | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
double what they were last year. We've another 4,000 people waiting | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
for a an apprenticeships. It goes back to what used to work. People | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
already know the brand of an apprentice. What some people will | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
be nervous about is if it doesn't work. 6' personal experience of | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
this? The first apprentice I took didn't quite work out. When I came | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
to recruit another one, I did more research, spent more time with her | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
family and was more convinced she was the right person for that job | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
at that time. Laura has been a fantastic success. She's helped | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
people get reconnected to their BT lines last month. Doing amazing | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
things for someone who's 17. What about other MPs? I'm halfway | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
through a survey of all MPs about who's using an apprentice. Who's | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
interested. The idea is to get 1 Lunn of us to take on apprentices. | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
With support from the Government? YeahBut the object is to show the | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
country you can have an apprentice in any line of business. My | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
apprentice does business admin. She could be doing marketing. Like in | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the Bristol council we saw there. Thank you. | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
A young woman from Bristol who set fire to her boyfriend's home | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
destroying his family's entire belongings has been jailed for | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
three years. As she was arrested at the scene 20-year-old Sophie Harris | :13:41. | :13:49. | |
attacked one police officer and racially abuse add second. -- | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
abused a. Having started the fire Sophie Harris then returned to the | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
scene of her crime an hour later. It was the day of the Royal Wedding | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
when most people in Long Ashton village were enjoying a relaxing | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
day off. When livers attempted to arrest her she resisted. Why me? I | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
:14:19. | :14:21. | ||
haven't done... She set fire to the home of Bernard and Bridget Speed. | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
Despite the 6orts of firefighters all the family's possessions and | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
furniture were destroyed, including irreplaceable photographs. She | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
:14:41. | :14:42. | ||
couldn't accept the break up between Mr & Mrs Speed's son. Mr & | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Mrs speed looked upon the suspect as a daughter and family figure | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
within their own family. So, they are hoping that the time in custody | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
will assist Sophie and help her deal with issues she faces. Jailing | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
Harris for three years the judge said setting fire to the house was | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
an extreme act. The consequences to the Speed family have been severe. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
I take into account your mental illness and your criminal | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
background. As she was sent down, a sobbing Sophie Harris cried out "I | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
don't deserve it" Harris pleaded guilty to charges of arson and | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
assaulting a police officer. A former scout leader from Burnham- | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
On-Sea pleaded not guilty to a series of sex offences against | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
children. David ber land who's 53 appeared at Taunton Crown Court | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
this morning. He denied all 33 charges against him which included | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
indecent assault, sexual activity with a child, indecency and | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
exposure. The former I'm a celebrity contestant appeared | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
before magistrates accused of raping a woman in Yeovil last year. | :16:02. | :16:11. | |
Rapper,ing a row San tons to, who's -- Aggro Santos who's 22 entered no | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
pleas during the five-minute hearing. He will appear in | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
Chichester Crown Court in January next year. | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
A new sleep laboratory was opened in Bristol today where scientists | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
hope to unlock secrets of the brain. It costs over �.5 million. | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
Researchers can look deep into the brain to study how it spopdz during | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
the night as well as during the day. This MRI scanner is like gold dust | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
to scanners who who in the past had to beg, steal or borrow scanners | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
from the NHS to are carry out their work. Now they can look deep inside | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
the brain to find out more about how we tick. Our quality of sleep | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
can affect our health profoundly. That's why scientists at this new | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
shreeb laboratory are keen to monitor brain active I of healthy | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
volunteers as well as the less healthy. They'll look at links | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
between sleep disorder and obesity and psychiatric medication on sleep | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
patterns. We want to look at the link between what happens during | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
sleep and bring function during the day. There are sleep spindles which | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
we have known about for many years but they are something to do with | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
learning. They change if you learn something the night before. They | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
change according to how easily you really it the next day. Some | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
patients will even sleep in this scanner so their brains can be | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
studied in closer detail. There are even plans for youngsters to go in | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
the scanner while they are playing on computer games. We've known for | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
some time kids find computer games absorbing. At the same time they | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
are not so interested in their lessons. We want to look inside the | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
brain using this machine, find out what happens when people are | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
playing games and use that to make new approaches to education which | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
can be used in the classroom. Robert Winston has come here today | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
to the official opening of the centre. What are your thoughts so | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
far? It is nicely integrated centre with a very powerful MRI machine. | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
It is state-of-the-art which gives lovely high resolution pictures you | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
can see on the scanner here. If you look here this is the thinking part | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
of the brain. Very nicely displayed. Here at the back is a beautiful | :18:49. | :18:58. | |
picture of the mid-brain. That is the eye. Basically, using this | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
machine, it will be able to answer questions, how we think in | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
different diseased states, after stroke, as a small baby and | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
certainly as we develop. This centre will be running all sorts of | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
trials on this basis. It is a wonderful message for Bristol. It | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
means this is really state-of-the- art. Bristol is a fantastic medical | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
school, it is a good combination of the clinical and research skills. | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
Always hard to get your hands on an MRI scan for this kind of work. | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
is very expensive and researchers need access to MRI. The idea of | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
putting people into a machine like this will open up all sorts of | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
exciting areas of research. Matthew Hill s report there. Snl | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Sport and Somerset's cricketer arrived in India to play in the | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Champions League trophy. It will be an early chance to bounce back from | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
the disappointment of another defeat in a domestic defeat at the | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
weekend. Four successive finals, four | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
successive defeats. But the Champions League trophy in India | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
represents an early chance for Somerset to show how good a team | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
they can be. Tomorrow they take on the Auckland Aces and on Wednesday | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
the Kal cot a Knight Riders with a place in the competition proper at | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
stake. On Saturday they lost to Surrey in the final of the CB40. | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
The early loss of wickets, missed opportunities and the rain left the | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
captain struggling for positives as the players set off for their next | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
challenge. We've bounced back enough times in the past couple of | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
years to know how to bounce back. They've gone away with a slightly | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
weakened team. It is a pretty intense straight back into two | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
quick games back to bake. Somerset's defeat was part of a | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
near perfect storm of West Country sporting woe as all our footballing | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
league sides lost. Bath were the only team to buck the trend with a | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
second win from three in the Premiership. They ended the Exeter | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
Chiefs unbeaten start to the season with a 27-19 victory. Can Hipkiss | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
the scorer here. The arguments over the a new stadium for Bristol City | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
football club continue apace. Dawn Primarolo criticised the amount of | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
taxpayers money being spent on a legal battle. The fight is over a | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
30,000 -seater stadium. Long Ashton Parish Council has pledged �30,000 | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
to a group which wants to take the matter to judicial review. This | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
would cause more expense for Bristol City Council as they defend | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
their record. The money used to defend itself in a Jude urbl review | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
and to prevent millions of pounds worth of private investment | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
creating jobs, let alone a great stadium here in Bristol, I just, it | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
is not a question of whether I agree with it or not, it is a | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
question of whether it is appropriate. Long Ashton parish | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
council denied it was inappropriate. They say they've been building up a | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
fighting fund for years to oppose any building on groan belt land. | :22:45. | :22:50. | |

It was a murder that shocked the medieval world. A King deposed and | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
then killed in a most terrible way. This we can sees the premier of a | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
locally produced feature film based around the death of Edward second | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
around Berkeley Castle. It poses the question, did he really die | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
there? Simon Lewis went to find out. It is the night of 21st September | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
13 27, a man's terrible screams reverberate round the dark walls of | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
berbgy castle, thus history rrls the brutal death of Edward second, | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
King of England. There is evidence to suggest that Edward didn't die | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
here at Berkeley Castle. In 1878 a letter was found written by a | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
medieval priest suggested Edward escaped to Italy and had become a | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
hermit. Now, that story's become the basis for a new film produced | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
by a group of Bristol amateur actors and film makers called An | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
scan uncertain Proof. It is effectively a search for the truth. | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
It is a journey by a man who feels the king had escaped from Berkeley | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
Castle that evening and he's desperate to find out that he is | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
still alive. Ultimately gets to confront who he thinks should be or | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
could be Edward the second. We felt we had a really good basis for a | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
film. There were very strong characters in it with a strong | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
storyline. We've a good balance of amateur actors, quality technicians | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
behind the scenes. Using imagination and inagain Utey on a | :25:21. | :25:27. | |

Now to the weather. Here's Iain. Some lively weather over the | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
weekend. Many places not escaping the showers. But some did. Kemble | :25:41. | :25:51. | |

Not dissim scenes for many tomorrow. The cloud cover more extensive. | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
We've had a warm fronted bringing patchy outbreaks of rain and | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
drizzle. Tomorrow, it is a cold frent which will dictate. It will | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
bring a fair swathe of rain. Becoming heavier at times. This | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
evening, eventually things will dry out. There's inter mittent patchy | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
rain and drizzle. Some dry weather if rather cloudy at times. Rather | :26:30. | :26:37. | |

about 12 or 13 Celsius. Tomorrow, that front already up through the | :26:43. | :26:50. | |

it goes it under debate. We get waves with heavier pulses into the | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
afternoon, Bristol, Bath and Somerset too. By the end of the day, | :27:04. | :27:14. | |
