Good evening. Two councils have their cuts agenda at torn up. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
A judge ruled that it is against the law for them to close libraries. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
We cannot afford not to make savings in Gloucestershire. Nor can | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
any other council. The jobless generation. We hear | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
from the young people denied a chance of work. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
And I spend a day at a college whose latest course is, quite | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
simply, how to get a job. Plus, thanks a lot. How | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
Gloucester's Mike Tindall hoped his boss to lose his job. -- helped his | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
boss. First tonight, dramatic | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
developments in the battle to save some of our public libraries, | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
worthy of any bestseller. For months, councils across the West | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
have based likely protests from campaign is desperate to save what | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
they say is a vital local service. Today, the fight went to the High | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
Court in London and resulted in victory for the protesters. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Nervous, but optimistic. The campaign has never dreamed that | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
their fight would bring them this far. The judge told them they were | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
right to claim the councils had acted unlawfully when they had | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
assessed how the library closures would affect vulnerable people in | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Gloucestershire and Somerset. does not take much to undercut the | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
council's plans and see how fundamentally flawed they were. We | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
argued this from the start and they chose not to listen. We would not | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
have gone down this path if we did not have confidence in art argument. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Now planned closures will have to be shelved. Plans that were drawn | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
up to save the councils up to �3.5 million. There are many | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
opportunities, I would have thought, for the authorities to come closer | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
together and to make further cost savings which the consortium is | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
indeed doing. This judgment went so far in favour of the campaigners | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
but there is a sense it could have real ramifications for other | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
councils planning to close libraries. The Ian Judge talked | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
about the signal which this judgment will send to other | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
councils. I expect they will read it very carefully and they will | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
have to fundamentally reappraised their proposals to cut library | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
provision in light of today's judgment. This is a significant | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
victory for the campaigners and for some of them it was beyond their | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
wildest dreams. It means the councils will have to go back to | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
the drawing board and find other ways to save the money. If they | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
still want to go ahead with library closures, their plans will have to | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
be fundamentally and legally watertight, and also very different. | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
All we could see ourselves back here very soon. | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
Our political editor is with me now. The councils have seen libraries as | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
the worst least option and were banking on the savings. What are | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
they saying this evening? Officially they are saying it is a | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
huge disappointment. Behind the scenes, people are saying things a | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
lot worse than that. Very disappointed indeed. It is very | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
complex, the legislation. Some of it is quite new. People might have | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
heard of the Disability Discrimination Act. It is designed | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
to give extra protection to people with disabilities, but also the | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
elderly and people living in isolated areas. It was found that | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
the councils were in breach of this legislation. It is a lengthy | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
judgment, so councils would take a long time. Ken Maddock, D leader of | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
Somerset County Council, stuck to a planned statement today. We accept | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
all the judgment and will act accordingly. We will now take some | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
time to consider the courts a lengthy judgment and to discuss any | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
next steps that we need to take. That sounds like a holding | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
statement while they think of Plan B. Does that mean the libraries are | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
likely to be safe? The only thing we know for certain is that giving | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
nothing is not an option. Somerset had expected to save �1.3 million a | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
year from the library budget. Gloucestershire are expected to | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
save �2 million. They have also spent lots of money fighting this | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
court case. The chief Executive said they would have to think again. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
The judge has quashed original decision, so be will need a new | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
process. We will need a new decision. We will need new | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
consultation and we will be open- minded about what comes out of that. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Over, I suspect, a few months, we will have to reconsider where this | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
is going. But we cannot afford not to make savings in Gloucestershire. | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
Nor can any other council in the country. It is being watched vary | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
widely. This is a significant case across the country. It is the first | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
time that possible library closures has been -- have been halted by a | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
court. The number of people out of work | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
may have risen across the country, but here in the West, the overall | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
picture is a bit brighter with a slight fall in those claiming | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
jobseeker's allowance. But there is still one area where we do not buck | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
the national trend, and that his youth unemployment. One place | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
trying to change that is Gloucestershire College. Our | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Business Correspondent is there now. Good evening. They are still hard | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
at it here at Gloucestershire -- Gloucestershire College. As well as | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
the computers here, they still have some books. The decline of | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
industrial Britain, 1870 to 1890 is one that caught my eye. It shows | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
that Britain has been here before. The West Country saw a slight drop | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
in unemployment today. But here, the focus is on young people | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
getting into work. They have practical courses in finance, hair | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
and Beauty, Engineering, catering and hospitality. But also just a | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
straightforward course in how to get a job. How to dress, how to | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
fill out those application forms. It is all about trying to get these | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
numbers down. We have put a little graft together with the West | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
Country's unemployment numbers across the last couple of years. It | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
started in 2009, climbing sharply up to August 2009. Then the numbers | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
fell away. By 2010, a 5th of those people had found work again. Them | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
climbing again steadily through the summer. This is the first month in | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
five that we have not seen an increase in unemployment in our | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
part of the country. Yet it is even more complicated than that. Just as | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
there are young people, some of them in this college, the while | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
finding it hard to get a job, I have been speaking to employers | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
while finding it hard to get workers. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
The Airbus A380, the biggest passenger jet in the world. We all | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
know it lies on West Country wings and lands on Gloucestershire gear, | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
but when the pilot wants to stop, he relies on one of these. A tiny | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
titanium valve. Assembled in Tewkesbury by skilled engineers. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
The company are famous for motion control. Every car in the Formula | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
One circuit relies on them to get off the starting grid. Lately, | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
business has been boring. We have achieved significant growth from | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Mark aircraft business which happens to be here. And our | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
industrial business, which looks after everything on the ground, is | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
also growing, despite the recession. Yet we still find it very hard to | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
recruit people into the business with the right kind of skills and | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
the right kind of outlook and is the engineering as a positive thing | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
to do. I have heard this complaint from skilled manufacturing firms | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
across the West before. But in Gloucestershire, they have decided | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
to do something about it. A each time they come back from the | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Formula One teams, we have to replace these. Sixth-form students | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
from Duke's pre-school got their hands on the technology this week - | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
- Tewkesbury School. They will be back every week. The idea is to | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
show young people that engineering can be exciting. Absolutely | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
thrilled in terms of it being a pilot that appears to be working | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
with an advanced engineering company. It has a real sexy feel to | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
it, which people need to understand and know more about. It is one of | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
five companies in the county that have paired up with five local | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
schools. If it works, this scheme will be copied across the country. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
It is pretty called knowing that two of Formula One drivers have sat | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
in this seat that turn now. students are understandably excited | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
and inspired. Knowing how different parts of it are made and how the | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
balance work. Soon the stages of how it is made. Is this something | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
you might do when you leave school? I would quite like to design stuff | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
for cars and airforce stopped this scheme will not fix next month's | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
unemployment problem, or even next year. But this is about the long | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
haul, something which engineers understand. | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Since we first told that story on the radio in Gloucester this | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
morning, they have had lots of recruitment companies on to them, | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
even some budding engineers. Best of luck. But this is more than just | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
about fitting square pegs into square holes, getting more people | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
to make more widgets. This is about the old question, what do you want | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
to do when you grow up? We are with some young people, asking exactly | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
that question. We will speak to Amelie in just a | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
moment. We are going to hear about a group of disadvantaged teenagers | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
in Bath. They have produced a from about what life is like for them. | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
They have got 10 the youngsters who have each made a minute of the | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
video. It is being shown for the first time tonight. The film was | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
devised, acted and shot by the teenagers with the help of Bath- | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
:10:46. | :10:47. | ||
based charity And mentoring Plus. In the future I see countries at | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
war, civil wars and a very big divide between rich and poor. In | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
five years' time, I see myself in the army, which makes it more of a | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
personal issue. I see it being the rich as safe and everyone else left | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
to fend for themselves. The government gone bust or not really | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
caring. The future as it is, it needs to get worse before it gets | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
better. Before people start to realise what they need to do. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
very positive message and it is on at the egg Theatre tonight. For | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
various reasons we cannot join them at the moment. But good luck to | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
them tonight. We may try later. It is good to have you with us. | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Coming up, New Zealand's World Cup winning star Stephen Donald talks | :11:45. | :11:55. | |
to last about his new life in Bath. Iced sponge cake. Perfect. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
I have been finding out how the money you gave to children in Need | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
last year is making a huge difference to a young lives in the | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
West. First, a man has been arrested on | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
suspicion of murder after a woman's body was found at a house in | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Bristol. Ambulance crews were called to the home in St George | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
yesterday morning after reports that someone had suffered a cardiac | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
arrest. The woman, believed to be in her 60s, died at the scene. A 63 | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
year-old is in custody. A young man from Bath who was | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
attacked on a night out in Cardiff earlier this month is showing signs | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
of improvement. The 19 year-old, a talented ballet dancer, is now off | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
the critical list and his family say he is in good spirits. The | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
police investigation into the assault is continuing. | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
Bath could become a hot spot for hi-tech companies and a new plans | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
being drawn up for the city's future. The proposal is to use | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
fields near Bath Hunter and to absorb flooding which regularly | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
happens close to the river bank after prolonged wet weather and | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
land development of land next to the Avon. The council says the | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
flooding has held back building on some prime spots in the city. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
Quite a lot of them for the long deep river corridor. Echoing | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
previous industrial age. We want to see a new age of employment and | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
creative, digital technology sectors, which do so well here. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
sides are being chosen yet, but there would consultations next year. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Councillors hope the Riverside could be used to create new housing | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
and more jobs. The Glastonbury Festival has been | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
named the best major event of its kind in the country. The event was | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
given the award last night at the UK festival awards, but Glastonbury | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
:14:01. | :14:01. | ||
did not sweep the board. It missed out on the prize for best toilets. | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
:14:11. | :14:16. | ||
We can rejoin Ali at the E kpwrbgs g gg theatre in bath. -- Egg | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
Theatre. I'm here at the chirp's theatre in | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Bath. All the people behind me have been involved in making a film | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
called Futures, looking at the future of ten young disadvantaged | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
children here in the city. One of the films was made by Luke. You've | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
been involved with the Mener toing Plus scheme. What did you get out | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
of it? I've got a meant ore -- mentor out of it which provided me | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
with a stable job. You got an apresence isship in carp entri.? | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
Yes. What were you like before that? I was getting in trouble at | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
school. Outside of school. A troublemaker. My future was quite | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
bland. So you really feel like it's turned things around for you? | :15:13. | :15:22. | |
Definitely. That is the mayor of Bath young citizen of the year. | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
Mike, this covers the whole of north-east Somerset. What do young | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
people get out of this for their future? We recruit about 40 adult | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
volunteer mentors. We match them to a young person who needs extra | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
support. That mentor meetsz up with the young person once a week | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
sometimes for three or four hours. They get support in terms of their | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
self- confidence, self-esteem as well as practical support around | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
education, employment and to have a good time. They go out and do | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
recreational things. Men toring Plus also provides interest groups | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
and holiday activities. The making of this film is an example of one | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
of those activity. You think this has really changed your future? | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
Absolutely. I've seen the film. It is fantastic. It will be on their | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
website from next week. Tonight, I'll leave you. We are at a | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
premiere, but the future's looking bright for some of the children | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
who've made that film. Thank you. Losing one leader may be misfor the | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
Euan but losing two a careles ness. England rugby has lost a captain | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
and coach in less than a week. Martin Johnson has walked away. His | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
captain, Mike Tindall is appealing against the decision to sack him. | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
John Maguire reports on yet another day of turmoil at Twickenham. | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
They set out for the World Cup in New Zealand with the highest hopes. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Now England's coach and captain have paid for fuelures on and off | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
the pitch with their jobs. Martin Johnson faced the cameras again | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
today, this time, to announce his resignation. You just weigh up the | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
situation has it is now. Make the decision. Ee, I'd like to have a go | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
at it or no, it's the right call for myself and my situation and the | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
team that we have a change. That's the decision I've come to. Despite | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
playing for his country 75 times, Mike Tindall was booted out of | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
England and fined �25,000 after a drunken night out early in the | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
tournament. He's lodging an appeal. His coach at Gloucester says that | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
send his lub are his priorities -- club are his priorities now. Mike | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
has to deal with the appeal properly and perform properly. Keep | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
his place in the Gloucester team. So you know, whatever opens up or | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
doesn't, that will be sorted out over the next month. This was the | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
night in question and the kiss on the head that was manna from heaven | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
for the tabloids keen to expose the antics of the Royal Family's newest | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
member. One reason Tindall paid so heavily was officials at the Rugby | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
Football Union that he as a senior player, he should have set an | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
example to younger men in the squad. He's a massive role model for us. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
He's been a great player. I've watched him, always represented him. | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
He's a lot of wisdom and knowledge behind him. He can harness our | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
youth and energy and focus us. Instruct us, help us, train us. | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
He's massive to us. England's loss may be Gloucester's gain. A club | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
rusher for Mike Tindall's availability full-time. He's | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
considerably poorer unless he wins his appeal. | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
We shall see. Three-and-a-half weeks ago, Stephen | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
Donald was the toast of New Zealand. Now, the World Cup winner is hoping | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
to bring the good times back to Bath. He arrived in this country | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
ten days ago. Made his debut for the club at the weekend. Today, | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
he's speak spoken for the first time about his life in England and | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
his last minute call up to the Rugby World Cup final. | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
He's travelled from New Zealand to the south-west of England. Stephen | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
Donald is a hero in his homeland and an expensive acquisition for | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
Bath. The 27-year-old is rather modest about his new cult status? | :19:46. | :19:56. | |
No star attraction. I'm just here to try and play. The England | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
captain, they are stars. Just slipping in the back door, really. | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
Would love to contribute to Bath getting to where they want to. They | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
are very ambitious. I would love to get on that bandwagon. Donald won | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
22 caps for his country but was left out of their World Cup squad. | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
He was on a fishing holiday when the call came from the All Blacks | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
due to injuries. I wasn't holding my breath. I checked my foun. There | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
were a few missed calls from a private number. They were trying to | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
get old hold of me. Reality hit that the holiday was over. So, from | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
nowhere, he was in the World Cup Final squad. Then, off the bench to | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
score the final penalty that won the match. You'd think he would be | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
nervous. No, I was pretty calm about it all. Just another kick. 35 | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
minutes out from full-time, you're not thinking this will be the match | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
winner. I enjoyed the moment, enjoyed the next days that followed. | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
It was good for my family and all my close friends, to lap it all up, | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
too. Bath are getting him in his prime. They'll hope he's not lost | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
the winning touch when he makes his full debut this weekend. | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
This Friday's Children In Need appeal takes place against the | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
toughest economic climate in years. But as families get poorer, as | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
Pudsey know, the children need extra help. I've been to a school | :21:35. | :21:45. | |
in Weston-super-Mare where your generosity has really saved the day. | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
# Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside... # | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
This is the Bourneville estate. It is in Weston-super-Mare. Though no | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
day-trippers come to visit. But hundreds of our children live here | :21:59. | :22:08. | |
where child poverty is the highest in the south-west. With many | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
parents working long hours to make ends meet, the after school club at | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Bourneville Primary provides a vital service. Number one is they | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
give our children something to do. I think that's really important | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
that children have something to do. It is somewhere they can go and | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
meet their friends. They can do exciting things. I think bear will | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
have... The team here creates a comfortable home from home where | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
children can laugh, chat and play games, including shops. Knock Knock, | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
is this shop open? Yes, it is. can I have today? We can sell like | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
little cakes and sponge cakes and mocho chock owes. They are like | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
little drinks. Sugar, cream, chocolate on top and sprinkles and | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
that. They didn't know it but their world could have fallen apart. | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
Funding for Extend, dried up. The helpers were hours away from losing | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
their jobs when Children In Need announced a �25,000 grant. When we | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
received a phone call on Friday afternoon from Points West, saying | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
we were exstabgtic was an understatement. We were running the | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
risk of not being here after Christmas. This has made all the | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
difference. I think I hugged Lynne who did all the bidding. We did a | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
dance round the office. There were lots of parents in reception who | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
saw it. It was a fantastic relief. We were so scared we'd lose this. | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
It would be really annoyed. I wouldn't have a lot of fun then. I | :23:50. | :24:00. | |
:24:00. | :24:05. | ||
haven't got much toys in my house. And I would be really upset. If I | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
was at home, well, I wouldn't be doing arts and crafts or playing | :24:10. | :24:20. | |
with a tea set cos I don't have any of that. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
None of us can help where we're born, which pocket we happen to | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
fall into. In the UK, millions of kids live in relative poverty which | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
means they don't have very much. What I found out here is that a few | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
pounds wisely spent can make a profound difference to young | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
people's lives. Movingly, these children will be raising money for | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
Children In Need this year too and Tommy has a plea. Please can you | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
give money to Children In Need because they don't have much. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
West Country appeal is just up the road at western Peer this year. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
We're asking a lot in hard times. We want the Bourneville estate | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
children to like it beside the seaside. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
And they really were delightful children at Bourneville Primary | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
even though there was something wrong with their pool table! | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
Unbelievable! Such bad luck, David. Tommy was very sweet. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
It is really, I'm feeling it is really chilly, Ian. Just changed a | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
really chilly, Ian. Just changed a little bit? | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
I should have worn my hat that I had on yesterday! | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
It will get milder as it stands into tomorrow. It will get a lot | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
brighter as well. We're likely to start with early fog such as this | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
picture taken at the airport. As that lifts out of the way, a good | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
deal of sunshine around for many of us tomorrow. It will remain dry. | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
For the time being, we've a cold front tracking northwards and | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
eastwards. Once that's cleared away into tomorrow, things will brighten | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
up significantly. Just a moderate breeze from the south-west. A | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
milder direction. Things will remain into Thursday, Friday and | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
Saturday. The rainfall radar showing how the cold front's Makin | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
roads towards us. The heaviest puplss of rain have tracked in | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
through Devon, Somerset and parts of Wales. It is largely dry to the | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
east of the M5. There are some showery outbreaks of rain which | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
will continue for a while into this evening. By 9 pm, most of that | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
should be out of the way to the north of us. The skies will tend to | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
clear from the west as the night wears on. An overhang of cloud | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
towards the east. Somewhere in the middle will be the dividing line by | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
the time we reach dawn tomorrow. These conditions ripe. Moisture at | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
lower levels for fog to form. M4 corridor, Wiltshire, vales of the | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
Severn in Gloucestershire likely to have fog in the morning. Tomorrow, | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
the last overhang of that cloud clearing out of Wiltshire. | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
Brightening up with the and catching up with the rest of us. | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
Brighter weather with us for the rest of the day. Staying dry. Winds | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
have shifted to a more southerly quarter. The rain is still missing | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
us into the evening. Temperatures tomorrow, 13 Celsius is quite | :27:21. | :27:27. |
