so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
teams where Welcome to BBC Points West with | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Sabet Choudhury and Alex Lovell Our main story tonight.... The computer | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
system blamed for a childs death. Three`year`old Samuel Starr died | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
after surgery in Hospital. It's not like he had a bad care, he had no | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
care at all. He passed away in our arms. A report into the death finds | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
the computer system in the hospital may have played a part. | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
Also in tonight's programme. Did a truck driver jumping the lights | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
cause the death of a young Bristol teacher? Finally, floodwater starts | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
to recede from someof the Somerset levels. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Back from the cold, super slider Jenny Jones returns to her childhood | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
home. Good evening. A report into the | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
death of a three`year`old boy from Somerset has found the introduction | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
of a new computer system may have played a part in his death. Samuel | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
Starr died in September 2012. His parents say delays caused by the new | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
system meant he hadn't had a cardiac check up for more than 20 months. As | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
our health correspondent Matthew Hill reports, Samuel was not the | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
only child whose appointment was delayed. Samuel Starr was born with | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
a heart condition and when he was three had an operation at the | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Bristol Children's Hospital but his parents were concerned that it took | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
longer than expected. They removed his lines, and we spoke to Samuel, | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
and then he passed away, in our arms. Despite the many questions the | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
family had about his operation in Bristol, their biggest concern was | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
whether his death might have been prevented if there weren't huge | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
delays to his regular checkups when he was alive. Samuel's local | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
hospital was where Bristol outpatients held regular clinics. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Sam's condition meant he was supposed to have regular scans to | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
make sure his condition did not serve me worse, but following | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
successful surgery in 2010 his heart was scanned. But that turned out to | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
be the last scan he had for some 20 months. It's not like he had a bad | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
care within the time, he had no care at all. We have discovered that a | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
key factor in the delays was the introduction of a new IT system for | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
hospital appointments. I am absolutely disgusted that it was | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
recognised, but no actual action was taken on it. In review of the deaf, | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Bristol Children's Hospital concluded that the delays might have | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
played a part. `` in a review of the death. We also discovered there were | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
63 overdue appointments for children because of the introduction of the | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
system, with some taking nearly two years to discover. The hospital | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
declined to answer any specific questions about the system saying in | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
a statement: Samuel's parents also hope that this | :03:27. | :03:49. | |
inquest, which starts next Monday, will answer some of the questions. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
And you can see more on that story on Inside Out West on BBC One at | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
7:30pm tonight. Joining me now is our health correspondent Matthew | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Hill who has been working on this investigation. Is this computer | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
problem fixed? It has been fixed for some time. These were teething | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
problems, but nevertheless very serious teething problems. The | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
computer was also rolled out at North Bristol trust at the same | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
time. You remember there were reports that with e`mails from | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
consultants warning managers that they thought patients were being put | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
at risk, which is something North Bristol have always maintained it | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
didn't happen, but in this case we were talking about 63 children with | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
overdue appointments that `` and we don't know about the adults. But | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
what we do know is there is one case where potentially a patient came to | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
harm. Thank you very much. A jury has heard how a Bristol lorry driver | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
is alleged to have driven through changing traffic lights seconds | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
before colliding with a pedestrian. Teacher Jake Thompson died of head | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
injuries after being hit by the thirteen and a half tonne truck | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Paul Vowles denies causing death by careless driving. Our Home Affairs | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Correspondent, Steve Brodie, was in court. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Jake Thomson's family travelled down from their home in Durham to hear | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
how the prosecution claim their son died three years ago. The | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
27`year`old supply teacher died in May 2011 from severe head injuries, | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
five days after being hit at the Three Lamps junction while walking | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
back to his home in Totterdown. Jake Thompson was waiting to cross the | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
road here at the junction of the A4 and the A37. Two seconds before the | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
red man changed to green he stepped off the curb into the path of the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
lorry. At the last second he tried to jump back but it was too late. | :05:40. | :05:51. | |
Prosecuting Edward Burgess told the court that lorry driver Paul Vowles | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
had not been driving dangerously but given the size of the vehicle, its | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
speed and the fact he lived locally and knew the area, it had been | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
decided to charge him of causing death by careless driving. One | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
witness told the jury that the lorry went through these lights as they | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
changed from amber to red. The tachograph recorded an average speed | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
of 38 mph but Paul Vowles had swerved at the last minute to avoid | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
hitting the pedestrian. Paul Vowles denies causing death by careless | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
driving. Stay with us for a full weather round`up later. Still to | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
come: Delivering drama and joy at Southmead Hospital as one born every | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
minute returns to our screens. Swindon Town striker Nile Ranger has | :06:40. | :06:53. | |
gone on trial in Newcastle today charged with rape. The 22`year`old | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
denies sexually assaulting a woman at a Newcastle hotel in January last | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
year. A report's been published into a death of a motorist killed by a | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
100 mile an hour train at a level crossing near Taunton. 65`year`old | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
Dennis France drove onto the crossing at Athelney last March at | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
half past six in the morning. The report found he may have believed | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
the crossing had failed because engineering work had affected the | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
timing sequence and it was closed to traffic for longer than normal. The | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
devastated mother of a baby boy who died at a Bristol hospital broke | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
down today at an inquest into his death. Rowan Rhodes was transferred | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
to hospital at six weeks old but his died just two days later. His | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
parents believe that a decision to remove him from his ventilator | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
contributed to his death. It has been confirmed that that shouldn't | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
have happened, and the other part was when he was deteriorating that | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
night, nobody escalated his care when they should have. He was left | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
for many hours with nobody taking even a blood sample to see how he | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
was doing. The hospital has not yet given its account of what happened | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
and we will bring you more details on that as the inquest continues | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
over the next few days. After weeks upon weeks of flooding, finally the | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
water levels are beginning to drop. Pumps have been taking water all day | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
off the levels and into the River Tone. The Environment Agency says | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
it's reduced the flood levels in Moorland, Fordgate and East Lyng by | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
at least a foot. Fiona Lamdin reports. Late letters ` the post, | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
postponed here in Chad Mead for the last few days. And at last a lawn | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
replaces Vic's lake. Inside though, the dirty water still sloshes | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
around. The ground floor is absolutely finished. It all has to | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
go. It's not just the water damage, it's the bacterial problem you will | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
get with it as well as we have sewage in here. You have to get it | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
sanitised. Do you want a hot pasty? And just five days ago, people were | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
wading through this, now the river's returned to a road. Across the road, | :09:18. | :09:29. | |
Ian may have now have a dry house but it's dirty and damaged and he's | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
uninsured. It has got a lot better, the water has done `` gone down over | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
a foot, and now it is just a big clean`up. They are still surrounded | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
by water, but when I was here a week ago the water was right up to the | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
window of the front door. You could not see their silver doorknocking. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Residents say that overnight they think the water has fallen by at | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
least a foot. In the last 48 hours we've seen a huge improvement with | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
the water levels and people have been able to do things they haven't | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
been able to do for a number of months, and in some case you have | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
seen the rivers fall by up to half a metre. I would say we are probably | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
looking at at least six weeks to get all of the water away. The water | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
maybe slowly receding but for some it could be a quite some time before | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
boating home ceases to be reality. It's already months late and | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
millions of pounds over budget ` but today the most radical reform of the | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
benefits system to take place in decades has arrived in the West | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
Bath and North East Somerset is one of the first places to pilot what's | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
called Universal Credit. The government says it's all about | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
getting people into work and helping them stay there. Here's our | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
political editor Paul Barltrop. It's a revolution in Britain's | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
welfare system ` rolling six benefits into one. Ultimately eight | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
million people will be on Universal Credit. One of the main aims is to | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
make things simpler. First to find out, people using Bath job centre. | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
How complicated is the whole benefit system? Don't even go down that | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
road, very. People asking for jobs they are not wanting that many | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
hours. It's not the easiest. You can only work 16 hours a week, and it's | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
trying to find a job that will let you do that that's the problem. It's | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
rubbish. It's widely accepted the present system doesn't work well. | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
Universal Credit should give claimants more incentive to get into | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
work. This radical change actually got support from all the main | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
political parties, but where it has proved controversial is in its | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
institution. It should have got here in the autumn but is running behind | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
schedule and over budget. Government minister David Freud visited Bath to | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
meet job centre staff. Among the challenges, costly computer software | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
problems. What we are doing is building the system very, very | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
safely and securely. We are taking all the time we need to make sure | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
that as we do it, there are no problems, and people have a good | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
experience and we deliver what we need to deliver, which is universal | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
credit which helps and supports people into the workplace. Meeting | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
the minister, a local businessman who hopes it'll make it easier to | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
recruit staff:. On a number of occasions, what is said to me is | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
that I could not work by myself because it affects the overall | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
benefit income. So anything that takes away those barriers has to | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
help us to be able to recruit and grow the business. Universal Credit | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
arrives in Bath after earlier delays. Rolling it out across the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
whole country will take many more years. | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
A brand`new military drone bought by the army of nearly ?1 billion begins | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
trials in Wiltshire. The wingspan is 35 feet and it is called Watch | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
Keeper. It will provide real`time intelligence and surveillance | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
information for ground forces. Those operating it are training at lark | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
hill. We've been constrained in the past by not being able to utilise | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
things in the UK. With the ability to have this and operated over the | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Salisbury plain training area, we can interact with those we are | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
supporting in real life. Jenny Jones, who won bronze at the | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
winter Olympics, has gone back to her childhood home of Downend in | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
south Gloucestershire. Her medal in the slopestyle was Britain's first | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
ever medal on snow. And, as Alistair Durden found out, she wasn't even | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
sure people back home were watching. Congratulations to you. We are very | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
proud of you and very excited to have the time. In Downend where | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
Jenny grew up, everybody has wanted to pass on their congratulations. As | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
it convinced you to go snowboarding? `` has it? Not quite. Soon the word | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
was out that she was back home. You did such an amazing job. And | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
everybody wanted an autograph. Well done. It's funny coming back here. I | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
remember being here when I was a youngster, skateboarding, going to | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
the shop to buy sweets. I just didn't think people would recognise | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
me or know about the Olympics, but obviously it's been quite a big | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
thing back here. That is incredible. So exciting. Lovely to meet somebody | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
you've seen on TV having such an amazing achievement, and then they | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
walk into your shop. That's just perfect. It is two weeks since Jenny | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
Jones won her bronze medal in Sochi, the first this country has | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
ever won on snow. But her journey started in Somerset on the dry slope | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
at Churchill where she first got on a snowboard 16 years ago. It's not | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
as steep as I remember. Maybe that's because I was learning and it was | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
all really scary at the beginning, in a good way. It definitely felt | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
steeper. Now she is hoping to inspire the next generation of | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
snowboarders. OK, who thinks they will go this way, and who thinks | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
they will go that way? I have one or two camps where I help training on, | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
and I've always enjoyed it. Teaching people freestyle for the first | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
time, I'll always keep doing that. Hopefully it's inspired people to go | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
snowboarding. Good luck. And the lady, yes. We sold out of | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
snowboarding in 24 hours of her winning the medal. We've had to | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
chase down instructions `` instructors and getting more | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
sessions on. The trick now is to keep them going and keep them | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
inspired. I offered Jenny a job but I'm not sure she will accept. She | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
has already appeared on chat shows and become a face people recognise | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
worldwide. So how is she handling being famous? I don't know. I can | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
still cycle to the gym and back without getting recognise, so I m | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
doing all right. I didn't expect this at all. The reaction is just | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
unbelievable. It's nice to be back and to be amongst Bristolians. She | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
will be seeing a lot more of them when the open top bus tour takes | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
place next Monday. Can't wait for that. From the Mules | :16:31. | :16:43. | |
of Minehead to the poets of Gloucestershire, World War One At | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
Home is a partnership between the BBC and Imperial War Museums and its | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
aim is to reflect what was going on back here in the West during the | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
First World War. This year marks the centenary of the outbreak of the | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
conflict. Every community was affected. More than 400 hospital | :16:58. | :17:09. | |
trains arrived in Bristol. 1.5 million women in the workforce and | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
there was the first use in combat of tanks, poisonous gas and submarines. | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
In the first of a series of films on Points West this week, I took to the | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
skies over Gloucestershire to learn more about the activities of the | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
Australian Flying Corps in the county. | :17:24. | :17:24. | |
Gloucestershire at it's magnificent best. Skies which once were a | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
training ground for wartime heroes. But it's only down below where you | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
can find the clues. I am next to the 846, a busy commuter route in | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Gloucestershire. Cars travelling up to places like Stroud. I wonder if | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
they know the connections this place as to the First World War. The clue | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
is in the title. It may not look like much now, but this was once a | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
home for novice pilots who had come all the way from Australia. Although | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
today it's home to Pat, in a house built in 1920s. All this area was | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
the officers mess. Quite a big area, taking in all the bungalows and the | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
big buildings. It was pulled down after the war. And it went as far as | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
over here? Yes, all round. In all of the stones of the broken | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
foundations, the walls are built of that. `` all of the stones are the | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
broken foundations. Much has changed here, but for the curious, it's a | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
treasure trove of history. Some of the old people that had been here | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
came back and they could tell you where they slept, you know? But | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
since then, you get relatives coming back and saying, oh, grandad was | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
here, or they want to know where the cemetery is things like that. And | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
that resting place is where many who once stayed here called their final | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
home. To get a better view I'm doing what all those pilots loved to do. | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
My mode of transport, a bi`plane based on a Tiger Moth, the flying | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
machine of choice for our Australian airmen. It looks very solid, but | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
this is Irish lineage that has been stretched and treated and then | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
placed over a latticework of balsa wood. | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
But don't be fooled by it's basic construction. In the sky, its grace | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
is unrivalled. The Australians chose | :19:25. | :19:37. | |
Gloucestershire as their training base as it was beyond the reach of | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
German aircraft and was safe from bombing. The actual chaps who were | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
the trainers had come over from the Western front. They were the aces, | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
but the people who are being trained at properly come from places like | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
Gallipoli. They didn't come straight from Australia. They came from the | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
theatre of war that was Europe. Up here in this open cockpit, you can | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
feel the ghosts of the men who flew over these green fields. You can | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
imagine their wonder and joy to be up here, all the while carrying a | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
fear of what lay ahead of them in this brutal war. But many of them | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
never saw the front line. Poor weather and often hurried training | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
meant terrible accidents. Let's have a look at this stone. It has the | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
name of all the guys on it. The guys that were buried here. These graves | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
mark the final resting place of Australian airmen who died, learning | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
to fly in the area. I think they understood the risks, but they were | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
willing to take them. The last chapter die in a crash actually got | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
into a bank of fog over the Lizard and crashed into a hill. Planes were | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
flying here a mere 14 years after The Wright Brothers first took to | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
the skies. Incredible progress made at the cost of young lives. Look at | :21:02. | :21:17. | |
their ages: 22, 19, 23. A ceremony is held every April to commemorate | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
the sacrifice. They would have travelled thousands of miles to come | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
here and serve their country, and they died so young and so far from | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
home. It was a very moving journey, | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
actually, and you can enjoy more of the flight, if you want to watch it, | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
it's on the Facebook page. If you are interested, the plane I was up | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
in was built in the 1930s, and S the foresee `` it was an SV4C. Tomorrow | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
night David will be visiting Bristol Zoo which hosted shows for injured | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
troops during the conflict. And BBC Radio Bristol will be exploring the | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
role the zoo played in a special report tomorrow morning at 8.15 | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
Now, if you've given birth in the Bristol area recently, chances are | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
you might recognise some of the stars of a prime time TV show | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
tonight. Yes, the Channel four programme One Born Every Minute | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
spent three months capturing the drama and joy in the delivery suite | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
at Southmead hospital. Sally Challoner has been to meet some of | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
the midwives, and one of the mums making an appearance tonight. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Every minute... Let the fun begin. Every day. A baby is in Britain The | :22:31. | :22:39. | |
Channel four team were in the delivery suite for three months | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
Cameras and microphones catching the highs and lows, the screams and sobs | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
of hundreds of women, here for the most important moments in their | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
lives. We had the best midwife ever, didn't we? Really touchy`feely. I | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
loved that. It's a really personal. Georgina and Richard got to know the | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
unit's staff really well, before and after the birth of baby Max. That | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
means you are nearly there. I could hear them moving, and it wasn't too | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
bad, but overall, I was thinking, what are they seeing? You have | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
different cameras in unusual places. The way they put the story on the | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
journey together is enough, to be honest. You don't need to edit it in | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
anyway. They are really good at what do. All of the staff were brilliant. | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
More than 6,000 babies are born here every year and there are 60 | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
midwives, working shifts around the clock. Seeing my staff in action | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
behind closed doors, which obviously you don't see all the time was very | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
lovely. It was really lovely. They came across very, very well, and | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
very caring of the families they were looking after. I sit here | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
sometimes, and it's like this, and like that. There are some people | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
that are proper Bristolians. You pick up some characters, and you get | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
that in every workplace, but we are a great bunch and we obviously work | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
really well together. We had all different types of things going on, | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
we had emergencies happen, lovely natural births, water, same`sex | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
couples, the whole mix of things. For Georgina and Richard ` an | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
experience they'll never forget and a record of his birth that they can | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
one day share with Max. I can't watch that programme without | :24:36. | :24:48. | |
crying my eyes out. They are so beautiful about the screaming, it's | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
scary. ``, but the screaming, it's scary. Anyway, Gemma ex`Commissioner | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
`` Gemma. Onto less scary thing is, as we head | :25:01. | :25:09. | |
out of February and into March, the weather although unsettled is better | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
than the bulk of the weather we ve had this winter. We have blustery | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
showers on the way and we do have strong winds to contend with, but on | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
the whole, not bad. We have blustery showers but bright spells. The wind | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
is picking up from time to time and that will be a factor going into | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
tomorrow, especially as we look at the radar pattern where we did have | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
a few showers but they didn't amount to a great deal. We also had some | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
very good spells of sunshine that lifted the temperatures into double | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
figures for much of the region. Very good February values through the | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
West Country. We do have an area of low pressure moving in overnight, | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
bringing an organised band of rain. It pushes through by tomorrow but | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
the legacy is scattered and blatter `` blustery showers. You can see the | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
ice are packed tightly will stop for the rest of this evening and | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
tonight, showers dying away `` you can see the isobars are packed | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
tightly. The band of rain pushes through, and by tomorrow morning | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
it's gone. Accompanying cloud means the overnight lows are sorry `` low, | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
six or seven, and I'll start tomorrow. But the scattered and | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
blustery showers and gusting winds along the Bristol Channel at about | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
40 or 50 mph. Sunshine in between the showers but they will be sharp, | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
and a little bit more chilly, with the cold front dragging in cold air, | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
so ten or 11, may be feeling a little cold and fresher with the | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
wind. Tomorrow night the showers die away and then we are looking at | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
temperatures going a bit colder tomorrow night, collaborating, and | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
why we have showers MIB wintry `` cloud breaking. Wednesday is a good | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
day with lots of sunshine with fewer showers. | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
That's it from us. A quick reminder that Inside Out is on here in 3 | :26:57. | :27:06. | |
minutes. We will be back with you for the 10pm news, but for now, | :27:07. | :27:07. | |
goodbye. | :27:08. | :27:11. |
