Good evening from BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight: | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
A nightmare on the morning commute. 18 are injured as a bus hits a tree | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
and the roof is sliced off. Clip up for Coner, a campaign to | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
buckle up crash helmets after a young moped rider dies. Everything | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
we are doing is for him, if we could get something positive out of | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
this it would be amazing. Thinking twice about university. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The West Country teenagers put off by fees. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
And not a great start, the new manager fails to give Bristol City | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
:00:52. | :00:56. | ||
Good evening. A bang so loud, one eye witness likened it to a bomb | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
going off a. It was a double-decker bus hitting a roadside trees so | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
hard it ripped the roof off. 18 passengers were injured and | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
Fishponds Road was closed for much of this morning's rush-hour. | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
A double-decker bus with its roof ripped clean off. Here is that risk, | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
lying in the bus lane some 50 yards behind. | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
The bus struck the trunk of the tree just after 7:30am. It was like | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
a really huge bang. I have only heard something like that once | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
before, and that is when I was in Manchester and there was a bomb. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
was a very deep Impact sort of sound. It was like an explosion. I | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
heard a very loud bang. This photo was taken by a resident shortly | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
after the impact. Still sat in their seats are passengers being | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
treated by the emergency services. Sat here on the top deck of the bus | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
you can see just how close they came to the trees that line the | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Fishponds Road. The impact would have been the here and the scene is | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
like something out of a horror movie. The seats at the back are | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
covered in blood. Seven passengers were treated in hospital, but none | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
had serious injuries. How lucky was that? Extremely lucky given the | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
size of the roof coming off the bus. We can all imagine the potential | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
for that in terms of fatalities. is surprising that a blow to one | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
corner of the roof can rip the whole lot off. But it is made from | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
light fibre glass and aluminium which may have been blown clear by | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
today's hybrids. Investigators will also study the camper by the side | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
of the road, it did that caused the bust to go over. Until the exact | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
cause of today's accident is known, bus drivers appear to be giving | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
trees along Fishponds Road a wide berth. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
The jury in the trial of Vincent Tabak, the man accused of murdering | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Jo Yeates, has heard from the final witness this afternoon. The defence | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
case is now over and the jury will hear closing speeches tomorrow from | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
prosecution and defence. The majority of today was taken up by | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
legal arguments, something the jury are not party to. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
A teenage boy from Bristol died when he was thrown from his moped | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
and his crash helmet fell off. Conor Hall was 16. He had not | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
fastened his helmets chin strap. As a result of his death, his family | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
and friends have a launched Clip Up For Conor. | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
There is no doubt Conor Hall's death touched many people. Hundreds | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
joined Des Walker in his memory and his family and friends have raised | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
�6,000 in just a few months. It is all in his name. They call it Clip | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
Up For Conor. Everything we are doing now is for him. If we could | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
get something positive out of this it would be absolutely amazing. | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
is looking down on us. It is part of the healing process, to try and | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
move forward. We want to save lives. We want to bring home how important | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
it is, this cost him his life. It is not fair. He was my best friend. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
And he is gone. Conor Hall was riding his moped along this road | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
just before 11pm on a Saturday night in June. Two people who had | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
been drinking in this public walked into the road, Conor Hall hit them. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
They sustained minor injuries but his bike slid for almost 25 metres | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
and his helmet flew off. He died days later from a significant head | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
injury. He was 16. This is his helmet. On the night of the crash | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
he was riding with the strap on done. This is a locking system, in | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
the field of safety helmets it is known as one of the most secure | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
fastenings we have. That would prevent any helmet from coming off | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
on less great pressure was put upon the Ryder's head. The inquest was | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
not definitive about exactly what happened here on that night. There | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
were emotional scenes as Conor Halls family questioned the two | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
people who crossed the road. The family remain determined that no | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
other family should suffer as they are suffering. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
A very good evening to you. You're watching BBC Points West. Still to | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
come: The school entering the Olympics but by getting close to | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
Russia. It is the only animation, but how | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
do we know what Morph is really thinking? | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
That is coming up between now and 7pm. First, a petrol station in | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Wiltshire has admitted filling up one of its tanks with the wrong | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
type of fuel potentially damaging hundreds of cars. The mistake | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
happened at Total garage last week. The company says it turned off the | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
pumps as soon as they realised what happened. One single mother says | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
she cannot afford to pay to get her car repaired. My situation is I am | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
a single mum, I have got four kids, one is registered disabled and my | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
car is my lifeline. It gets my children to school and college, and | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
now I have no form of transport. Nikki came to this petrol stations. | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
She claims she put �10 of unleaded petrol into her car and drove away | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
thinking know more about it. Then she realised something was | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
definitely wrong. My car started to splutter and I completely lost | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
power. I heard traffic peeping at me and I had no power on my | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
accelerator. She managed to get it home, and that is where it has been | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
ever since. And she noticed a definite smell of diesel on the | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
petrol cap. It was not until she spoke to her neighbour the | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
following evening that she realised she was not alone. Their car had | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
completely broken down after filling up at that Total garage. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
They are not accepting liability at the moment. They told me there | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
waiting for an Engineer's report. We have contacted the garage and | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
they have sent this statement to the BBC. Following an error in a | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
fuel delivery last week, eight number of customers purchasing fuel | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
received an off specification products. As soon as the error was | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
detected, we closed off affected pumps. They have apologised and | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
said they will compensate customers, but Nikki hopes this will be done | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
quickly as she has to rely on friends and family. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
Three people charged with the murder of a man whose body has | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
found in a field in Wiltshire appeared at Salisbury magistrate | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
court earlier today. They are accused of murdering a man whose | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
body was found nine days ago. The trio had been remanded in custody | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
and are next due to appear in court in February. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
One in 10 students have been put off going to university because of | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
high tuition fees according to a BBC survey. 1000 A-level students | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
were question for Inside Out. As well as those who would not go at | :09:31. | :09:41. | |
:09:41. | :09:41. | ||
all, that more than half said they were unhappy. | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
In new term, and at New Year. The students here will be the last to | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
pay the lower rates of tuition fees from next year it will cost �9,000 | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
a year to study, and that is sharpening the minds of those | :09:55. | :10:04. | |
thinking about whether to apply. This girl is taking A-levels. On | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
tonight's Inside Out programme she visits a business and the | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
university to decide what is better for her. To study and have a huge | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
debt or to go straight into work. People who have the experience of | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
coming into our courses go into the world better placed. Maybe they | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
don't get the best job straightaway, but in five years' time they are | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
doing really exciting things. It is having to take that long have you. | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
It is a dilemma being repeated across the country. At Bath Spa | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
University the number of students coming to open days is down. That | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
appears to be translated into law applications. We're already seeing | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
there is going to be a decrease in that people applying for places in | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
the university. We are optimistic that once it beds in, we will not | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
find that much of a decrease. But certainly some decrease. All the | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
major institutions across the West are charging on or close to the | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
maximum �9,000 a year tuition fees. What many students do not realise | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
is the true cost of that. Especially when interest is | :11:13. | :11:22. | |
factored in. �75,000. A is that for one person? That is for one person. | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
An average degree of three years if you take out the maximum loan. | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
Those against higher tuition fees have always maintained access to | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
higher education should not be based on ability to pay. But it is | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
the scale of the fees that are causing confusion and starting -- | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
forcing some students to think about whether in education it | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
really is worth it. You can find out what decision the | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
Lauren made and get advice on how to manage the tuition fee increase | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
in tonight's Inside Out programme at 730. | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
A public consultation into the future of Bristol's historic | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
airfield at Filton has just closed. South Gloucestershire council must | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
now say what will happen to the land after the owners closed the | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
runway at the end of next year. Earlier I spoke to our reporter who | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
has been following the story. What sort of response has the | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
council had to the consultation? Not overwhelming. Around 260 | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
responses, but that includes a 37 page report from the Save Filton | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
airfield campaign group. Several councils have told me this is the | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
most important decision south Gloucestershire council has ever | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
faced. They must decide whether to change the registration to allow | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
homes and businesses to be built there, that might suit the council. | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
They can put 3,000 homes up. But there are many who want to see the | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
airfield state registered as an airfield, to respect the heritage | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
of the land, 100 years of flying near Bristol and see it developed | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
into a more commercially viable thing as well. The consultation | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
period is over, what happens next? The council will digest those | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
responses and come to a decision by December. Then it will go to a | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
planning committee and whatever they decide is likely to be | :13:19. | :13:28. | |
challenged because this is such a I suspect whichever side is unhappy | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
with the result will appeal, and then it will have to go to the | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
Planning Inspectorate, and that itself will take a long time. | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
There is more news today about how British Aerospace made a profit out | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
of the air filled last year. BAE Systems made a profit of �1.3 | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
million from Filton airfield last year, it says it is because it put | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
up the fees last year, that it maintains it is not financially | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
viable in the long term, it cannot see those profits going on into the | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
future. BAE Systems wants to put roads on to Dalton and sell the | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
land as individual plots to developers, and it is owed to the | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
council to decide whether they can do that. Thank you very much indeed. | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
The debate about Britain's place in Europe is under way and at least | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
four Conservative MPs from the West are intending to defy David Cameron. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
They are among about 70 MPs planning to back a motion for a | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union. Laurence | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Robertson, MP for Tewkesbury, is one of them and he joins me now | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
from Westminster. You do not look like a rebel, what | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
is going on? I am not a viable as far as my constituents are | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
concerned, they are crying out for change in Europe. They do not | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
believe it is serving as well in terms of jobs, trade, the way we | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
live our everyday lives. They want the referendum, I am representing | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
them. The Prime Minister said it would be rash and disloyal to him | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
and the government? The Prime Minister and not -- the Prime | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Minister and government did not elect me, my constituents elected | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
me. This was not in your manifesto, was it? It was not, but it is | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
something I have been campaigning for a long time, and it is what the | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
people of Tewkesbury and the country want. I am 53 and have | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
never, as a citizen, been asked whether I want to remain part of | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
the European Union. It is interfering in our lives every day, | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
costing us an awful lot of money, I would say it is detrimental to | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
trade in this country because of the regulations and taxes it | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
imposes on businesses every day. You say you are 53, you are | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
possibly not marking yourself out for high office in the future! Some | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
of your younger colleagues in the Conservative Party in the West | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
Country are. Would you recommend a rebel, too, or would they put their | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
careers on the line to do so? not come here to further our | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
careers, we come to represent our constituents and to the best for | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
the country. I would advise people they would not make great career | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
strides by betraying their own principles and constituents. I am | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
doing what I think is right, what is right for the people of | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
Tewkesbury, and what is right for the country. After all, all we are | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
saying is we should have a referendum, we are not saying at | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
this stage we should come out, but that the people should have the | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
essay. Thank you for coming out and talking to us. | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
-- the people should have their say. The new Bristol City manager faces | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
a hard week as he tries to impose his ideas on his new squad. He says | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
he knows they can improve if they play with greater craft and guile, | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
but his opening game in charge ended in a 2-0 defeat at home to | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
Birmingham City. Fans were divided on whether the performance gave | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
:17:07. | :17:09. | ||
Before the game, optimism. Hopefully it will be good for City, | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
I guess. It seems promising. I hope we can get back up the table. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
McInnes takes over a team at the bottom of the championship, low on | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
confidence and without a home win Desperate defending early on gave | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
increased anxiety levels on the bench. But then chances for City, | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
with Marvin Elliott hitting the wrong side of the bar. But if he | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
didn't know already, his defence showed the frailty which has | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
frustrated fans all season. Birmingham's second came in | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
:17:55. | :17:56. | ||
stoppage time as City pressed for I thought it was awful. It made no | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
difference changing the manager, what some added. Something to build | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
on, had fully. A lot of spirit there, I was pleased. We were | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
looking forward to it, and I think the players worked a lot harder. | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
thought they played quite well, they did not deserve to lose. | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
Sometimes it is easy to throw in a ball and had to win. I cannot fault | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
the players, they gave the club and myself everything. So much to do, | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
but crucially the fans want to see change sooner rather than later. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
Give him a chance, it is only his first game! | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
A school in Somerset has been getting excited about next year's | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
Olympic Games by linking up with the former school of a Russian | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
hopeful for 2012. Fairlands Middle School in Cheddar | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
has been twinned with the school where high jumper Ivan Ukhov used | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
to be a pupil. Each class represents one of the Olympic | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
countries, and joint assemblies have been held between Somerset and | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
Russia. American gymnasts, Iraqi rowers and | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
Kosovan judokas all joining in morning assembly. These pupils in | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
Cheddar have accepted an Olympic invitation to get everyone involved. | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
They are sharing their experience of the 26 countries who send | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
athletes to the games with a school in Russia. Former World Champion | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
high jumper Ivan Ukhov used to be a pupil there. Now he is aiming for | :19:29. | :19:39. | |
:19:39. | :19:42. | ||
London next year. Can we welcome Iraq's athlete to the stage? | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
The two schools have been linking up for joint assemblies. Today, the | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
children are telling the stories of Olympic hopefuls from around the | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
world. It gets you more involved with the sports and what the | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Olympic athletes are, we now know what more people are doing in the | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
Olympics and we want to see how they do, to find out if they are | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
what you read about. Taking part, joining in, and enjoying the most | :20:09. | :20:15. | |

school would surely make the podium. I don't think school was like that | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
when I was there. But that is almost 20 years ago now! | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
Time is running out for you to nominate anyone you feel deserves | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
to be named the BBC West Sports Unsung Hero for 2011. | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
We will give you details on where to get the nomination form in just | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
a minute, but first let's hear from champion racehorse trainer Paul | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
Nicholls from Somerset about why he feels unsung heroes should be | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:11. | ||
I am Paul Nicholls. We are looking for you to nominate any unsung hero | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
that help sportsmen and women in the West Country behind the scenes. | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
I have a lot in my business, but they are paid for. The people that | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
are here behind the scenes but lots of time in for nothing. When I was | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
an amateur, I had people who used to drive me around the country, | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
Alan Taylor in particular, he ran a newsagents, but he drove me all | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
around the country. Those are the people you need to help you and | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
every young sportsman needs somebody behind the scenes to help | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
them. We are looking for you to nominate those heroes who do not | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
get paid and give up their time for the pleasure of it. | :21:48. | :21:50. | |

number to request a form if you Can you believe everything you see? | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
More to the point, why do we believe what we see? So | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
philosophical! When you are watching an animation, | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
for example, how come it looks believable when we all know it is | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
not real? Tonight, one of the founders of the Bristol animation | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
company Aardman is discussing just that in a public lecture. | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Jules Hyam has been along to find out what on earth he's talking | :22:27. | :22:35. | |
about. Sometimes I just stared at him! | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
There is something about animation, characters that have character. But | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
how? Have another look. This is what we have just been laughing at, | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
but frame-by-frame, the way it is made. The animator creates movement, | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
and from that, personality. To do it well, it helps to have an | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
understanding of people and psychology. Sometimes I just stared | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
at him... What we are trying to do is to make the audience see what | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
the character is thinking, and that is mostly to do with what their | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
eyes are doing, where they are looking, how their eyebrows work. | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
That is what it is all about, can you make the audience understand | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
what the character is thinking? Wallace and Gromit are a fantastic | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
example of that, you know what he is thinking. Would you agree that | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
80% of communication is non-verbal? Just thinking about that one. | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
were looking at me then and communicating. You were frowning a | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
little bit, so you were communicating, weren't you? | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
eyes habit, that is the most critical part. The other parties | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
getting their lips to match what we are talking about. -- ft other part | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
is. That is another part of the animator's skilful stop sometimes | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
there is no dialogue, but your star character still needs a big | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
personality. So how do you solve a problem like Morph? That was all to | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
do with his pose, his stance, it was body language and to we | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
recognise the stance he is taking, angry, frustrated, funny? Can we | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
tell a story without him saying any intelligible words and without his | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
eyes moving? David's interest in perception comes from liking | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
optical illusions as a young boy, and it has brought us some of the | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
best loved animations in the world. I love that stuff. We learn today | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
that Morph was fond in this studio. It is all in the eyebrow movement | :24:52. | :25:01. | |
for that character -- was filmed in Let's see what the weather is doing. | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
Welcome to the great outdoors. Not such a great welcome. If you have | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
been in Devon and Cornwall today, I am sure many people were for half- | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
term, some torrential rain down there. Some of that is now here in | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Bath, Gloucestershire, where it will continue to be for part of the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
evening. If we take a look at the headline for the rest of this | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
evening, particularly into tomorrow, we will lose the rain, a bright and | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
breezy day with a few showers for good measure. We have a cold front | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
moving across us and the West Country as we speak, bringing heavy | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
rain across the south-west peninsula. That is out of the way | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
later tonight. Tomorrow, a brighter regime of weather, showers a | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
feature for some, as they will be for Wednesday as well. If you look | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
at the rainfall, the bright colours Tony Howard the rain has been in | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
Devon and Cornwall, 100 mm of rain likely the tally up by the end of | :26:04. | :26:13. | |
the day. For the rest of this evening and tonight, that band of | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
rain on the cold front continues its journey, becoming discontinuous | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
as it does so and eventually dying a death in Gloucestershire and | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
beyond. The rest of the night, for most of us, will be dry, a few | :26:26. | :26:35. | |
showers in southern areas, and moderately breezy. Tomorrow is | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
likely to start effectively on a bright and windy night for many. We | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
will see sunny spells through the course of the day, some of you | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
seeing showers as well, a 30% chance of catching a shower in most | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
districts, so a fighting stance -- a fighting chance of staying dry. | :26:54. | :27:02. | |
Some showers are likely to linger into the evening. As we go beyond | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
the evening, in to Thursday, after showers on Wednesday, we see more | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
progressive reign from the south coast. But Friday and Saturday at | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
least are looking dry at this stage, but by the end of the weekend we | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
are likely to see the rain returned, but probably not as heavy as to | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
date, for some of you at least. Thank you. I hope the producer is | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
feeling guilty for sending him out there onto the roof! | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
That will teach him to be cheeky to the editor! | :27:33. | :27:37. |
