Hello and welcome to BBC Points West. In tonight's headlines... The | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
tragic consequences of a drunken argument. A somerset woman goes on | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
trial for killing her husband by pulling on the car handbrake at | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
high speed. Liam Fox admits he was careless. The former Defence | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Secretary speaks for the first time since his resignation. Also tonight, | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
reforming university admissions. Cheltenham-based UCAS says students | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
should apply AFTER getting their exam results. And a special BBC | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
project goes behind the scenes at one of the National Trust's most | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :00:54. | ||
First tonight, a Somerset woman has been accused of killing her husband | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
by suddenly pulling on the handbrake as he was driving. Her | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
actions caused them to spin out of control and hit another car. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Caroline Meeking denies a charge of manslaughter. Our Somerset | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
correspondent, Clinton Rogers reports now from Bristol Crown | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
Surrounded by family and friends Caroline Meeking left Bristol Crown | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Court this afternoon, hiding her face from the cameras. Earlier, as | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
the evidence against her had unfolded she wept repeatedly in the | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
dock The jury were told she and her husband had been drinking heavily | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
on a day out before driving home along this road on the outskirts of | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
:01:36. | :01:38. | ||
Yeovil - late one night in August The prosecution say that in the car, | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
with Mr Meeking at the wheel and his wife in the front passenger | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
seat - a drunken argument started. Mrs Meeking claimed her husband | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
started shouting at her, verbally abusing her and threatening to | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
leave her. Suddenly, she pulled on the handbrake. The car spun out of | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
control, hitting another car travelling in the opposite | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
direction. Mr Meeeking suffered multiple injuries and died | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
instantly. The driver of the second car said that after the crash she | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
heard Mrs Meeking shouting: it is all my fault. I have killed him. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
They have been hearing details of the police interview after she was | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
arrested. She said she had been upset by the disagreement with her | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
husband and wanted to stop the car and get out and that is why she | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
pulled on the handbrake. She said I did not realise that what I did | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
would cause what happened. The prosecution say the crash and Mr | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Meeking's death was caused by an unlawful act that amounted to | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
manslaughter. Mrs Meeking denies the charge. Her trial is likely to | :02:45. | :02:55. | |

last three days. The North Somerset MP Liam Fox has told the BBC he | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
hopes to return to the government. In his first interview since | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
resigning as Defence Secretary he admitted he'd made a "careless | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
mistake". An official investigation found he'd broken the ministerial | :03:07. | :03:17. | |
:03:17. | :03:20. | ||
code. He was talking exclusively to Two weeks ago, he was at the centre | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
of a political storm. Liam Fox was forced to stand down as Defence | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Secretary because of his friendship with Adam Werrity. His best man was | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
also an unofficial adviser, funded by outsiders to work with him | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
around the world. He admits his error in his only interview since | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
standing down. It was a careless mistake and it should not have been | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
made. You should be big enough at the devils of government to admit | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
he made a mistake. I take responsibility and I have always | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
been very keen all my life that people shoulder personal | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
responsibilities. For journalists descended on his home in Twickenham | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
after revelations day after day. It is quite disconcerting. It is | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
difficult to do your proper job. You cannot physically move. The | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
house gets barricaded. Relatives are telephoning because they are | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
upset. Even to be staged at one of my nephews at the age of 14 was | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
doorstep and that was not acceptable. He became an MP in 1992. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Next year he got his first government job and has been a high- | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
flyer since. He hopes he can come back. I would certainly like to get | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
back to the front bench. How quickly is another matter. I think | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
for the moment, I will enjoy having a bit of extra time. I have got a | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
couple of projects I would like to get involved in. He has always had | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
a high profile in North Somerset. His constituents can now expect to | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
A royal "thank you" today for the teams who dealt with the aftermath | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
of the riots in Gloucester this summer. The Duke and Duchess of | :05:16. | :05:18. | |

nonetheless. If it could happen here in a quiet a cathedral city - | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
where was safe? Today, almost three months on, the Queen's cousin, the | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Duke of Gloucester and the Duchess, visited the local council to praise | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
them and emergency workers for their response. I would just like | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
to congratulate all of you for proving that Gloucester is a | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
community that works and works very quickly and rapidly when we have | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
Almost a dozen local stores were targeted on that balmy august night. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
16 people have been charged. One has just received a year in prison, | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
others are awaiting to hear their fate. In Bristol, the other West | :06:18. | :06:23. | |

Opportunists and anarchists, according to the city council. This | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
jewellery store lost a �13,000 window. A further �8000 worth of | :06:31. | :06:39. | |
watches and jewellery disappeared into the pockets of looters. During | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
the period they were fixing up the shop, we had the front boarded up | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
and we had plexiglass installed. The shop looked like it was being | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
fitted again or had shut down. We lost a bit of trade that period as | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
well. But we are getting it back together. People are aware we are | :07:00. | :07:06. | |

also a talented artist. We've been to a new exhibition of her work. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
And finally a win for Bristol City, but there's no time to draw breath | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
before they face West Ham tomorrow A 30 year old man from London has | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
appeared in court charged with the murder of Rico Gordon in Bristol in | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
July. Rico who was 21 and also from London was shot in the street on | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
the Stapleton Road. Shaka Anderson from Notting Hill was remanded in | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
custody until a bail hearing on Wednesday. The company which wants | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
to build another nuclear power station in Somerset has submitted | :07:57. | :08:01. | |

application and make a A small camp has been set up in | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
Queen Square in Bath. Organisers of "occupy" say they're supporting the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
aims of similar protests on College Green in Bristol and outside St | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
Paul's Cathedral in London. Bath and North East Somerset Council say | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
they are 'monitoring' the situation. The camp currently has around 8 to | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
After his conviction last Friday for the murder of Jo Yeates, it was | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
revealed that Vincent Tabak had led a secret life involving violent | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
pornography and prostitutes. As he begins a life sentence, tonight's | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
Inside Out West has a special report on the murder trial. Here is | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
our correspondent. The Secret Life of Vincent Tabak. It only came to | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
light at the end of the trial. You have had an exclusive interview | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
with his lawyer. What has he said? He was convicted despite the fact | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
the jury were not told anything about his obsession with | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
prostitutes and hardcore pornography. The prosecution lost | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
this argument that it should present this material to the jury. | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
We have been talking to his lawyer about that legal battle. That is | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
the crux of this. Despite the fact that the law has been changed and | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
allows the jurors to here what is called bad character. Sometimes | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
people think because we have got some bad character and | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
reprehensible behaviour, people sometimes think it must be included. | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
It does not follow. It has to give in to prove a point. Even if | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
admissible, we have got another test about whether or not it is | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
prejudicial and would have derailed a fair trial. We did not actually | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
get to that particular argument. But it clearly would have been | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
prejudicial. It did not actually go towards what actually happened | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
within that period. You have also been talking to the family of Jo | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
Yeates. How has it affected them? It has a tremendous intensity, this | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
story. It will not go away. It centres on the family of Vincent | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Tabak as well. We have been speaking to Jo Yeates's father. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
They are coming to terms with how they feel about it. He says it is | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
right but his interest in pornography was not put towards the | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
jury. He and his wife are not certain it contributed to what | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
happened. Chris, the brother agrees with what has been told that it | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
could have prejudiced the outcome and even lead to an appeal. What | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
about the suggestion that he was involved in other crimes? During | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
the trial, again with the jury out, we had a legal debate and | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
discussion. The prosecution said they would pursue other avenues in | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
relation to Vincent Tabak. I have been talking to the police about | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
what might or might not happen in relation to further charges. More | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
about that at 7:30pm on Inside Out tonight. The Gloucestershire based | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
university admissions body, UCAS says it favours a system where | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
students apply to university after getting their exam results. It | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
means exams being taken several weeks earlier to allow time for | :11:52. | :12:01. | |
At the moment, teenagers choose a universities before sitting A- | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
levels. They are given a target. Some meet them, some exceed and | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
some fall short, sparking an anxious de days of finding a place. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
But UCAS thinks that should change to a system where students apply | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
after their results are published. Only about 10% of applicants have | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
got correctly predicted grades. Some of these applicants have to | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
have predictions between five and eight months before exams. We are | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
getting changes and we are getting government policies. The economic | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
climate means we have to look for efficiencies. Just down the road is | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
the University of Gloucestershire. What do young people here make of | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
the proposals? This was my first choice anyway but I have got | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
friends that apply for places where they did not get the grades. It is | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
more realistic. You can apply for the ones you are likely to get. | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
think by bringing the A-level exam results back by a few weeks, I | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
think that it's... A lot more pressure on students to do well but | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
a lot more pressure to revise quickly as well and that is not | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
going to get the best out of people. It gives people the chance to make | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
a decision based on proven capabilities instead of theoretical | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
capabilities that they might not meet at all and it is essentially a | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
big life choice. UCAS facilitates almost 700 thousand like the choice | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
is every year. If the system is adopted, exams could take place | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
earlier. University open days and admissions would change radically | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
:13:54. | :13:55. | ||
it. But after 50 years, UCAS Let's move on to sport and, with | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
the latest, here is David. Tomorrow, Bristol City travel to | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
London for a game that will test their new manager and his plans for | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
the team he took charge of 11 days ago. Bristol City play West Ham, | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
who were still playing Premier League football in May, but City go | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
into the game after their second win of the season on Saturday and | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
their first under new boss Derek McInnes. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
He is not getting carried away by one result, but Derek McInnes is up | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
and running, building confidence, the buzzwords at today's press | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
corps, as his players learn how to win again. The result was City's | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
first success in two months, but they are bottom of the table, | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
heading to West Ham. You want to make sure we prepare properly for | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
the game. We are looking to go there and make a good account of | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
ourselves. We are not just going to enjoy the day. We have a lot of | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
support travelling down. It is a fixture people are looking forward | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
to. At the same time, it is a chance to pick up points. McInnes's | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
direct and honest style has gone down well with his players. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Goalkeeper David James is impressed with his new boss, actually a year | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
his junior. Managers are getting younger these days! It is about him | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
as a person, not ages. I like his philosophy on football. He is clear, | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
which is important, and he doesn't mind say what he feels. For the | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
players, they are going to know why and he gives them the right | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
information to help us go forward. Fans will hope he can continue to | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
get the best out of Nicky Maynard, after the striker returned to form | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
in dramatic style at Barnsley. ability to score goals, just making | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
sure we get them. We get good service into him and get him | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
playing at the top of his game. A confident Nicky Maynard is a real | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
asset. And, he hopes, a real threat to West Ham. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Cheltenham Town have announced that one of their under 16 players has | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
been killed after being in a collision with a car while jogging. | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
Marcus Powell was jogging at the weekend when the accident happened. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
The club have asked that his family's privacy should be | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
respected. Six Olympic and Paralympic teams | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
have so far chosen to base their training camps in the West ahead of | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
next year's London games, but what was it that attracted their elite | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
athletes? In Bristol and Gloucester, it was the already established | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
links with the people of Kenya and Malawi that helped secure the | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
prestigious honour. The joy of discovering a new sport, | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
on pitches built by Bristol students. It is all thanks to a new | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
partnership between the City and Kenya, one which hopes to give | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
these villagers a future as well as the trip of a lifetime for the | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
students. I think I have sort of become a bit more responsible. I | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
have got a bit more confident -- a lot more confident in myself. Yes, | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
they have definitely changed me. Bob Reeves set up the Bristol- | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
Kenyan partnership after years of organising trips there. The Kenyans, | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
led by a double Olympic gold winner, have become firm friends of Bristol. | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
It was Bob's phone call which earned at Bristol the UK's first | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
training camp agreement. He said, nobody has approached us with | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
anything like this, in the past, people have said, come and use our | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
facilities, and that has been it. He said, I liked the idea of | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
engaging people more. University of Gloucestershire also | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
has successful links with Africa. Students travelled to Mullaly every | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
year, where they work teaching games. -- Mullaly. They may not be | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
Michael Jordans. We are aiming their, to keep them off drugs, to | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
keep them in school. This year, the university accepted their first | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
students from allow we to study. Sam and Ruth are looking forward to | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
welcoming their Olympic heroes in 2012. In it will be great for us, | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
to have some friends coming over. That makes us excited. With strong | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
friendships already building, there athletes can expect great support | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
here and from those watching back home. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
The Bath-based bobsleigh competitor Serita Shone will have a second | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
operation on her back tomorrow as she continues her recovery from an | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
accident during practice in Germany. She had bones in her back pinned in | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
operation last Wednesday. She has feeling and movement in her legs, | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
but officials say it is too early to say how complete her recovery | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
will be. We are in regular contact with officials in Germany and we | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
will bring you details of Serita's progress. | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
Let's hope it goes well. Joy Adamson is perhaps best known | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
as a conservationist and as the inspiration for the Oscar-winning | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
movie Born Free, about the orphaned lion S Else, but she was also a | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
talented artist. Now a selection of her watercolours, which have been | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
hidden in a vault in Cheltenham for four decades, is going on display. | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
Joy Adamson, with the lion that was such a passion in her life. The | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
book Born Free told the story of the lion cub Else and it was made | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
into an award-winning film, but Joy was also an excellent artist and | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
some of her paintings, in storage for decades, are now on show. | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
would have liked to see them, and the fact her work had lived on. I | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
don't think that she realised just how good she was. The exhibition | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
celebrates the 50 years since the book Born Free was published. It's | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
hoped the exhibition will help the Else Conservation Trust, set up by | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
Joy, and it is helping with the plight of the African lion. Also | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
working for the trust is John Rendall, now a YouTube phenomenon, | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
with millions watching the moment he was reunited with a lie-in he | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
had once owned. The awareness out there of that wonderful lion, but | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
also the increased awareness that it helps us to promote the dangers | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
and threats to the environment today, so much so that we wouldn't | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
have been able to imagine the crisis situation with wildlife | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
today, but they were the first ones to flag it up 50 years ago. | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
paintings on show at 80 -- Ellenborough Park until next | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Tuesday. They are beautiful. I don't know if | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
my car is on the blink, but it's the monitor said 16 degrees today. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
That's hotter than some days in August! | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
If it is, mind is on the blink as well, because it said similar. It | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
has been one of the warmest Octobers in memory, with an | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
extended feast of autumnal colour, but de landscape could well be | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
about to change. With a last look at autumn and | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
details of a project you might like to get involved in, he is Jules | :21:53. | :22:03. | |

You know, I don't think I can add a lot to that, except to say that | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
this is Stourhead. Probably the person who knows it best is its | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
head gardener, Allen. It has been quite a nice autumn, because it has | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
been so long, so we can enjoy it for longer. I'd get a great picture | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
of all the seasons, and part of me moves into the next phase. I'm | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
watching this fantastic display behind us, knowing that in three | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
weeks there could be snow on the ground and the landscape will be a | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
different colour. I get as excited about that and my mind wanders. I | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
love working here but I love sharing the place. One of the ways | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Alan has been sharing the garden is by talking about it every year on | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
Radio 4. Now the PM programme has commissioned a slide show of images | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
to accompany his words. questions were geared towards the | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
photographs as well, so it works together. I have an uncle in | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
Trinidad who has seen the slide show, because he knew I was going | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
to do it and my mum sent it to him. He thought it was amazing. The | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
important thing about autumn is you do not treat it as one single day. | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
To appreciate the qualities autumn has to offer, you have to see it | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
arriving, see it looking its best and see it fade away. Autumn | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
doesn't just last for a single day but a snapshot, a moment in time, | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
like those photos, can tell us a lot about life and also the world | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
as it exists today. That is what we would like your help with. It is | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
for project called Britain in a Day, to help us to tell the story of | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
Britain on a single day. Today at Stourhead, leaves change colour. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Joe on the gate welcomed in more than 600 visitors. The gardening | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
staff help keep the Laurel in good condition. That was Stourhead today, | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
but what about yours? The day in question is Saturday November 12th. | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
We would like you to fill more to the ordering. Talk about how you | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
are feeling that day, described in words and pictures York November | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
12th. It doesn't need to be professional but it should be real, | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
honest and heartfelt. Your footage could form part of a unique film | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
examining all aspects of British life on that day. To get involved, | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
there is a leaflet which will tell you more. If you prefer, you can go | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
:24:51. | :24:55. | ||
online. Get a thinking, get filming and good luck. Then I like the idea | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
of that. We thought we would get into the | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
Hallowe'en nude with a few pictures of these pumpkins at Bristol Zoo. - | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
- the Hallowe'en mood. These work done by children, I | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
think. When I did it, it was a mess. I wonder if we have evil weather | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
spirits. Rain on the way, albeit later. I | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
don't think it will catch all the trick or treaters out. Midweek, as | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
we lose the chlorophyll from the leaves, we will also lose their | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
leaves as it turns windier. For tomorrow, sunny spells and mainly | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
dry, with light winds. A cold front on the way, introducing some heavy | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
and squally rain from this frontal system. That is easing its way | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
eastwards, arriving close to the borders with West Somerset, near | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
Lynmouth now. The Met Office computer picks up nicely on the | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
positioning of this, giving us confidence in the timing of this on | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
its way eastwards. Gusts of 30-35 mph. Hippy rain over a short space | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
of time, then trundling out to the east. -- heavy rain. The skies | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
clearing but not sufficiently to give a chilly night. 8-9 Celsius. | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Tomorrow, we pick up on the theme of a good deal of sunshine for many | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
of us. Overhanging cloud from that Front to start things off in | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
Wiltshire. One or two showers. A low probability of these. Most | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
districts dry with a fair amount of sunshine and light winds. That is | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
how things will remain into the evening. Quite a pleasant feel for | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
this time of year, 14 or 15 Celsius. Not so pleasant in the north- | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
eastern parts of the US of late, with a winter storm you might have | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
seen about. That is going out into the Atlantic. It gets modified over | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
the Atlantic, this no threat does, but it arrives to us on Wednesday | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
and Thursday. -- ft snow threat. The potential for some heavy rain | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
and strong winds. This is how the graphics tend to paint that story. | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Temperatures still mild. The rain will arrive late on Wednesday. It | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
will set in overnight on Thursday. Then a regime of some heavy, | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
thundery showers on Thursday. An interlude into Friday. The good | :27:30. | :27:36. |
