from the BBC News at Six. So it s goodbye from me, and on | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight: | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
900 stolen handbags. This woman is jailed after making a fortune | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
shoplifting designer bags and selling them online. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
A bridge closure too far ` the locals who claim roadworks are | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
costing them millions in lost trade. Graffiti wars ` a setback for Banksy | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
as the Mayor of New York says his work is not art. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
And a snapshot of Bristol ` an appeal tonight for thousands of us | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
to take a local photo. A woman from Wiltshire has been | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
jailed today for stealing more than 900 handbags during a three`year | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
shoplifting crime spree across Britain. A court's heard Jayne Rand | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
would walk into stores, cut off the security tag of a designer handbag | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
and leave with the bag on her shoulder. Police who searched her | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
country home in Wiltshire found she'd been selling hundreds of them | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
online. Scott Ellis joins us now from Purton. | :01:15. | :01:26. | |
Yes, a one`woman crimewave living here in Purton. The village is about | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
four miles from Swindon and the judge said today that Jayne Rand | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
made more money from shoplifting than most professional gangs. Yet | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
she lives here with her two grown`up children and a husband, in a large | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
detached house on the outskirts of Purton, surrounded by farmers | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
fields. It has come as a great surprise, not just for her | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
neighbours but also her family. Jayne Rand admits stealing 905 | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
designer handbags and purses over a three`year period. She was jailed | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
today for 18 months. These are some of the bags police seized, taken | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
from shops in Bath, Bristol, Manchester and Liverpool. Police | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
found another 50 at her home in Purton and found she'd made ?88 000 | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
` selling the handbags on line. Neither her husband nor two children | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
were aware of the crime spree. Her neighbours were equally shocked No | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
reason at all to imagine that she would need to do anything like that. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
How shock to you that she stole as many as 900? `` how shocked are you? | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
I can't even imagine you would get that far. Do you scoop them up, take | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
them one at the time, how long did it take? How long has she been doing | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
it, I have no idea at all. I just can't get my head around it. I think | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
it is very sad. Rand was eventually caught by store detectives in South | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Wales. The judge at Newport Crown Court said Rand had "made a business | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
of stealing." The court heard Rand would on | :02:58. | :03:15. | |
occasions cut the security tag off the handbags, but usually didn't | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
have to. Tonight in Purton, neighbours say have deep sympathy | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
feel most sorry for Rand's family. From my point of view, anything we | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
can do to help them, we would do. Rand led a double life. Telling | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
police she needed the money to fund her lifestyle. The court heard she | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
bitterly regrets everything that she's done and that she'd become | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
almost immune to the feeling of wrongdoing. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Shops have got CCTV, security guards, how on earth did she get | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
away with doing this on an industrial scale? The bags were only | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
worth about ?200 each, they are going to be on display, they are not | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
behind glass, they can be picked up by customers. She may have cut of | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
the security tags but I have been told there are other ways of | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
compromising those tags and she knew what she was doing. I have spoken to | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
a security expert who says that shops are using fewer and fewer | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
store detectives, they can't afford them. They are using more CCTV, | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
which he says is not as effective as catching people. Jayne Rand was | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
travelling around the country, Manchester, Liverpool, Bath, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Bristol, South Wales. She will go to jail for 18 months and there will be | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
a proceeds of crime hearing so the police will look at how much money | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
she made, and balance it against assets and try to seize back some of | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
her assets. Two men have been arrested in | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
connection with a serious sexual assault on a 19`year`old woman in | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Bristol. The attack happened on Belgrave Road in Clifton in the | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
early hours of last Thursday morning. Police say the two men | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
both aged 24, remain in police custody. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
The closure of a road bridge in Somerset is costing the local | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
economy millions of pounds, according to the area's MP. Network | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Rail is closing the road bridge over the railway at Ansford for 19 weeks. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
The MP David Heath is so incensed, he's raised the issue in the House | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
of Commons. Our Somerset correspondent, Clinton Rogers, has | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
the story. From the air you can see the bridge | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
is just 100 metres from Castle Cary railway station on the busy London | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
line. But if you're approaching from South Somerset, this is as far as | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
you get. Now you face a 17`mile diversion to catch your train. It is | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
infuriating for commuters, but spare a thought for lorry drivers whose | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
diversion is 32 miles long to avoid low bridges. And for haulage | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
companies like this, that's expensive. It is costing us in the | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
region of 55,000 pounds in extra fuel, time and drivers hours. It is | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
quite a significant impact. The Road Haulage Association carried out a | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
survey among seven of its members who estimate their collective losses | :06:12. | :06:23. | |
will be more than ?860,000. Network Rail closed the bridge in July for | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
essential strengthening work and it won't reopen until the end of | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
November. That is 19 weeks. We couldn't see anyone working on the | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
bridge today and that's part of what's annoying local traders, who | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
say the drop in trade is alarming. July and August were pretty bad We | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
rely on visitors at that time of the year. I would say my business was | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
down by about 50%. The local MP raised the issue in the House of | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Commons this week. He says Network Rail should be working seven days a | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
week, day and night. Can you imagine a major road in London being closed | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
for 19 weeks, and if people then had to have a deep tour of 17 miles in a | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
car, 32 miles in a lorry, can you imagine that being acceptable? Of | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
course it would not. Network Rail had no one available for interview | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
but in a statement, they told us they recognised local concerns and | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
had now decided to replan this work so that one lane of this bridge will | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
be open for the last two weeks of the budget. Too little, too late say | :07:28. | :07:45. | |
the critics. It is 6:35pm. A very warm welcome to BBC Points West on | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
this Friday evening. Ian will be here later and there's still plenty | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
more to come, including ` life through a lens, a 24`hour snapshot | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
of city life. A Government minister has admitted | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
that the badger cull in Somerset and Gloucestershire could temporarily | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
increase bovine TB in places. This is the recording of the Sunday | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
politics West this afternoon. The minister agreed that diseased | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
badgers may have been frightened away, spreading TB. This is what | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
they call the perturbation effect, and this came out from the last | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
trials. That badgers initially, in the short`term, moved to other areas | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
and it can lead to short`term increase in the infection in the | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
ring around a colour area. But it is a short lived experience `` cull | :08:39. | :08:56. | |
area. But in the long`term bovine TB does go down. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
As we've been hearing, the Home Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has spoken | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
out today about the hundreds of thousands of elderly people in this | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
country who say they feel isolated and alone. He said we should learn | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
lessons from how other cultures care for older people. His wife is | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Chinese ` and he said he's struck by the reverence and respect for older | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
people there. In China and Japan it is quite normal for elderly parents | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
to live with their children and family. The Indian government has | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
even announced it plans to name and shame people who abandon their | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
parents. In those countries, when living alone is no longer possible, | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
residential care is a last, rather than first option. Recently in China | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
a law was passed to force children to look after their elderly parents | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
and grandparents. But would such an approach work here? Alice Bouverie | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
has been investigating the challenges of caring for an ageing | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
population. I think there are a lot of lonely old people out there, and | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
I was one of them. And it is heartbreaking. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
For many people, getting old in Britain is no fun. Frieda lives on | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
her own in Bristol. She's 84, and has no children. I was so isolated, | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
I got really timid to go out. I could not make conversation or | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
anything. At least Frieda has her basic state pension. In China, | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
there's little or no state pension at all. By 2050, one in four of the | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
entire population of this country is expected to be of retirement age. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
That figure is exactly the same in China as well, but in China they are | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
taking an interesting approach to the problem. In the summer, a new | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
law was passed called the elderly rights law. Adult children were | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
ordered to visit their ageing parents. Xiaojing Sun studies | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
International Relations in Bristol. She speaks to her parents via the | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
internet every few days. She thinks the law is actually quite a good | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
thing. It is a little bit difficult for some old people in a village, | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
and there children move to cities to work. The government did something | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
for them. How many of us were there in the house... | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
The Soo family were the first Chinese family in Cheltenham in | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
1948. Karen's now taking over her father's business ` she sees it as | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
her duty as a daughter. But even within the Chinese community here in | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Britain, attitudes are changing All the older Chinese are still | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
following the old customs. It is only the new younger ones who are | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
coming over now, who have their independent spirit and way they want | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
to live. Isolation among the elderly is a huge problem. The charity | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
Contact the Elderly helps by holding monthly tea parties in people's | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
homes. It estimates over 1 million older people are lonely. Everybody | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
is so busy and that is always the excuse. When I speak to my own | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
grandma, she said were used our family lunches on a Sunday. It is | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
ironic that even with all the technology, people are so isolated. | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
It's something Government is find it hard to legislate against, but it's | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
something many elderly people can't protect themselves against either. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
New York Police have denied that they are out to arrest the Bristol | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
street artist Banksy. It had been reported in the American press that | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
detectives want to charge him with vandalism. But today the Mayor of | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
New York has criticised Banksy's work, saying it's not art and it | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
defaces public property. Here's Andrew Plant. | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
What have Bristol and the Big Apple got in common? America's a bit | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
bigger, of course, but Bristol had Banksy first. His last piece sold | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
for 400,000. Now the anonymous artist has made New York his new | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
canvas and the city's citizens have been snapping up his famous | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
spray`painted stencil style. A new one is appearing almost daily on the | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
streets, which prompted The city's Mayor Michael Bloomberg to say in an | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
interview that defacing public property wasn't his definition of | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
art. A feeling clearly not lost on the artist. Several have already | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
been defaced ` or even erased completely. Banksy's artworks have | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
become huge part of Bristol's international reputation. When his | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
stencils first started appearing around the city in the 1990s, a lot | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
of them were considered graffiti then and quite often they were | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
painted over. Do you think graffiti is art? It can be, some of it. What | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
do you think of this? Does it brighten the city? I thought it was | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
just a bit of building work, to be honest. The graffiti or art debate | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
still divides people here. But with original Banksy's now worth tens of | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
thousands of pounds, perhaps New Yorkers will find it rather easier | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
to learn to love their new artwork. From midnight tonight a unique | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
record will be created of life in Bristol. From the SS Great Britain | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
to the Suspension Bridge, to the view from your bedroom window, | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
images of the city are being collected over a twenty`four hour | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
period. The pictures will form part of an exhibition in the city next | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
month, and is already attracting photographers from across Europe. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Lizzie Way has been checking out the sights. | :14:57. | :14:57. | |
Capturing a moment. A look. A landmark. The aim of the competition | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
is to photograph the essence of life in Bristol. It will show a side of | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
Bristol that most people may have never seen before. A lot of | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
photographers are out doing recce is, a guy has been jogging every | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
morning, just to find out what is going on at that time, as background | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
research. Each entrant is allocated a one hour slot to take a photo to | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
submit. Sightseeing buses will let the entrants travel free around the | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
city, taking them to inspiring places. But some have, of course, | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
been allocated an hour in the middle of the night ` not that it seems to | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
faze them. I have decided I am going to try to do 24 hours continuous | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
photography was not to get the best of Bristol you have to be there for | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
the whole day and I would be afraid to miss something jarring that time. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
I come from Paris originally, I have been living in Bristol for three | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
years. The things that struck me are the food, the people, their spirit | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
of independence. It is definitely something I would try to emulate. I | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
come from Hamburg in Germany, I have been to Bristol before. I really | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
like Bristol a lot. I am hoping to take a photo that captures street | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
life. Around a hundred of the images will be on display in the Guildhall. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
You don't need one of these two enter, you can just use your phone | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
because it is all about the image, not the equipment. You can still | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
enter until midnight tonight. It is going to be a full moon tonight so | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
you can expect to see 24 hours of images a little differently. | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
From today listeners to local radio in many parts of Gloucestershire can | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
tune in on digital radio. New DAB transmitters were officially | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
switched on at a special ceremony in Cheltenham this morning. Around | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
400,000 people will be able to receive the new service, although | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
listeners will have to rescan their digital radios first. And a reminder | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
of the website to check your postcode for DAB coverage in | :17:11. | :17:11. | |
Gloucestershire. It's getdigitalradio.com. 11 games into | :17:12. | :17:21. | |
the football league season. Traditionally a time when managers | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
take stock of their progress and we are doing the same in our regular | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
team talk feature. This week, Bristol City played host to Geoff | :17:30. | :17:42. | |
Twentyman, Scott Murray, Mark Cooper and Siobhan Chamberlain. The top | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
performing team so far, what is the secret to making football management | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
look easy? I wish it was easy, a new group in the summer, a lot of young | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
players. They have taken a bit of time to gel. We have some decent | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
players who are technically very good and they are starting to come | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
together and play well. What kind of manager are you? Pretty calm. As you | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
get older and experienced, you have to calm down and realise you can't | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
be jumping up and down all the time. With the age of the squad we have | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
got, we have to try and pick up You know Gary Johnson well, Scott. When | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
he was here he famously threw the hand grenade in the dressing room | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
after a bad result, will he have a few hand grenades in the pocket At | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
Yeovil the dressing room is not as big. He did chuck a few down here | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
and there are a few lads who were on the end of a few. It is a tight | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
group at Yeovil and a lot of good mates, I think they will be all | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
right but it will be a tough season. Linda has a question for you, | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
Siobhan. What are the expectations of restore Academy for next season? | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
`` for Bristol Academy? A priority is to keep the players we had | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
together with the squad this year. Everyone wrote us off and said we | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
would finish seventh or eighth. To come second is a great achievement. | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
If we can keep the squad together and keep the three Spanish girls, | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
and add a couple more, I don't see why we can't be in the same position | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
challenging again. Does it frustrate you, the money in men's football | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
compare to what is in the women s game? It is or is hard to compare | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
and say, I wish we could get the same kind of funding and money that | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
there is in the men's game. If you don't draw in the crowds and you | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
haven't got the media and the publicity, you're not going to get | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
that money and that coverage. What we have shown with Bristol Academy | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
is you don't need a massive budget to be successful. We have the FA Cup | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
final and Champions League have finished second in the WSL. Not a | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
bad season, is it? Let's talk about Bristol City. 23rd in league one, no | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
one yet in the league. It is marched since they won a game. Scott, what | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
is your take on the season so far? The main thing is to be patient | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
Performances in the last four or five games are improving. It will be | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
a long season but the main thing is everyone sticks together. The other | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
week they led twice but you one 3`2, what is you `` you won 3`2. What is | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
your take? It was a good game, very open, they have a real attacking | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
threat in Thomas. If they get a result they could easily go on a | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
run. We have all played in teams that have had bad spells, what is | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
the secret to bring in a team out of a sequence of no wins and poor | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
results? You have to keep believing. If you are strong in your belief in | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
how you play, you have to keep believing and get that across. We | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
went wrong with Gary Johnson and I think we lost nine on the spin, it | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
is one of the worst feelings in the world. You go on the pitch and | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
you're not expecting to lose but as soon as something happens, your head | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
goes down, no one once the ball `` wants the ball. We are desperate to | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
get the first win and get the monkey off our back. Careful with that one! | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
Cheltenham, 17th in league one, is it hard for Mark Yates to keep | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
reinventing the wheel? They have done brilliantly for two years. They | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
have been really unlucky. I thought last year they would do it. Like you | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
say, it is rude difficult for them, some big clubs and big budgets. `` | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
really difficult. They are constantly punching above their | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
weight. Steve Mildenhall, the goalkeeper 's union is probably one | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
of the strong list in football. He looks me in the eye on our first | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
team talk and he told me that Bristol Rovers would be promoted. | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
They are 20th at the moment. Would you give him some advice? There is | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
still time. If you go into the season thinking you're not going to | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
be promoted or challenging, what is the point in playing? You want to | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
win and be at the top. It only takes that one is old to turn around the | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
season and get a few more wins under your belt. A big thank you for | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
Siobhan Chamberlain, Scott Murray and Mark Cooper. | :22:48. | :22:48. | |
APPLAUSE From football to Rugby. Gloucester | :22:49. | :23:04. | |
face a tough trip to Ireland tomorrow as they take on two time | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
Champions Munster in the Heineken Cup. | :23:08. | :23:25. | |
From rugby to the arts, it was the red carpet premiere of One Chance | :23:26. | :23:34. | |
last night ` the movie about the life of Bristol born opera singer | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
Paul Potts. The former supermarket worker became an international | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
superstar after winning Britain s Got Talent. And now his story, | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
including life growing up in Bristol, has been told in a star | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
studded movie, with James Corden playing Paul. You were there ` what | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
was it like? It was an amazing night. It must have been an | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
incredible night for Paul Potts We were there earlier seeing the team | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
setting up, making sure everything was perfect before the celebrities | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
arrived. Fans queued to meet stars including James cordon, who played | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
Paul Potts. We see the young Paul Potts, Christopher Bull from | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
Bristol. And Paul Potts himself arrived to greet fans as he walks | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
down the red carpet with his wife to watch the movie. Gary Barlow was | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
there. All your heroes! And you spoke to James cordon? Yes, he was | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
keen to clear up misunderstanding about his accent. A lot of people | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
think he is Welsh but he is not he just lives in Wales and he is from | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
Bristol. I had to make that clear to a lot of people who are telling me I | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
should do a Welsh accent. I said I think you will find it's more like | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
that. He was very good at that Bristolian accent. The film is not | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
out just yet, you will have to wait until next Friday to see that. Let's | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
catch up with the weather. Thank you. This photo will characterise | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
much of the weather through the course of the weekend. | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
There will be brighter phases, it will be a breezy weekend. There will | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
equally be some parts of the weather which will be wetter in the shape of | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
showers, they could be heavy, possibly thunder mixed in. The | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
rainfall radar has been showing the encroaching threat of showery | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
outbreaks of rain across our districts. Some of it is becoming | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
more prevalent. There will be moderately heavy outbreaks of rain | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
for a while. If we spin forward towards midnight, the first cluster | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
of Sharon Ringo have moved northwards. A second one follows in | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
its wake. Then there will be a window of reasonable weather until | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
the afternoon, when we get heavy showers coming through. And we do it | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
again on Sunday. If anything on Sunday per square mile and per hour | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
of the West Country, there will be more showers more widely | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
distributed. It is certainly not a right of despite the threat of | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
periodic wet weather. The threat of what weather others as we run | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
through towards mid`evening. He heavy fist `` the | :26:33. | :26:41. | |
the second phase will be with some of you by daybreak tomorrow and | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
temperatures will be mild again tonight. 12 or 13 Celsius will be | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
typical. A lot of low cloud associated with the lighter outbreak | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
of rain as it moves northwards. We get this window of drier and | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
brighter weather. It will be breezy and feel warm but as the trough | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
moves in through the early or mid afternoon period, we run the threat | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
of about an hour of thundery showers. Not everywhere seeing those | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
but the possibility that a fair number of you will. Temperatures | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
tomorrow will be quite warm, 17 or 18, a similar story for Sunday. Not | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
a similar story for Monday. A very wet start for next week. Thank you, | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
umbrellas at the ready. That is all from the Friday team. There will be | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
a quick update at eight o'clock and then 10:00pm. Have a lovely weekend, | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
see you Monday. Good wife. | :27:43. | :27:45. |
