effort to put people off smoking. That is all from the BBC News | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Welcome to Points West. Our main story, another setback for the | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
badger cull. Failures in thd West Country pilots and Lisa calling off | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
a nationwide programme. It hs clear from the panel report that we need | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
to perfect this method of rdmoving diseased badgers before we roll it | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
out. The only way to get ahdad of this is to get rid of the dhsease in | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
wildlife. If that means culling so be it. We ask you minister | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
responsible where this leavds the fight against TB. | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
Our other stories, the teen`ger murdered in Bath 30 years ago. The | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
police find new DNA evidencd which could bring her family peacd at | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
last. People assume that yot move on, but you just learn to lhve with | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
it. Every single day, this hs a part of their lives. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
The ?10 notes strewn over the payment `` pavement, what h`ppened | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
when somebody try to blow up a cash machine. And people in their 80s | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
still reporting for work. When will you decide to rethre? Good | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
evening. The government has suspended plans to roll out its | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
controversial cull of badgers. It follows a critical report bx experts | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
into the shooting carried ott last autumn in Somerset and | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
Gloucestershire, which concluded it was neither effective nor htmane. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
However these two culls will continue ` with changes. Here's our | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
political editor Paul Barltrop. A policy in trouble, a minister | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
facing his critics. The Envhronment Secretary came to the Commons to | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
announce the news ` the cull, due to be extended to ten new zones, won't | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
be. For those talking on thd opposition front bench, thex should | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
not underestimate the desperation in cattle areas and the desper`tion | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
that we cannot go faster. Btt we need to perfect this method of | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
removing diseased badgers bdfore going further. As he talked, his | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
department released the report by experts which catalogued nulerous | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
problems. MPs learnt the culls weren't effective or humane. Lib Dem | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
members of the government insisted there be no new culls. Frankly, I | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
just believe very strongly that the way to deal with the problel of TV | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
in badgers is to work with the wildlife groups and everybody else | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
who is interested, and the public, to sort it out. It is madness for | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
the government to set itself against such a large amount of the | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
population. The culls in Solerset and Gloucestershire were financed by | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
farmers, who over several ddcades have seen more and more cattle hit | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
by bovine TB. The disease c`n be spread between cows and badgers | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Today's news was a blow. Extremely frustrated. We test our cows at | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
least once a year and if yot are under a restriction, it is dvery 60 | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
days. I have to ask myself, why am I doing it? Some people say go up and | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
go elsewhere. I will sell mx cows, but where will you get your pint of | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
milk? Also influencing thinking is the efforts of opponents. Their | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
actions last autumn slowed `nd at times halted the shooting. H am | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
pleased by the effort put in by people running a crossfield pass, | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
stopping people shooting. I am very glad that that effort has stop the | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
roll`out. I am bitterly dis`ppointed and I'm talking to a lot of people, | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
they cannot believe that thd shooting is still going on. So | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
protestors, police and marksmen will start preparing to go back hnto the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
fields of West Somerset and West Gloucestershire, but for now nowhere | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
else. The government took today's decision | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
after a report from the Inddpendent Expert Panel, or IEP. Earlidr I | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
spoke to the Farming Ministdr George Eustice and asked him if he thought | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
the cull had been a failure. We were clear that this was always ` pilot. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
We set up the panel because we wanted to learn lessons. We will | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
take forward their recommendations. In the past, you have told le how | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
well the colours going, what has changed? It is clear from previous | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
evidence, the trials and we have done, that even in areas whdre you | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
have a slow start and only get between 30% and 40% of the badger | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
population in the year one, provided you sustain the killing, | :04:55. | :05:29. | |
respect, you have made a total mess of it? No, I did anyone elsd has | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
ever managed to get on top of TV without tackling the reservoir in | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
the wild population. There `re other things were doing as well, | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
vaccination and others things. But you said in the past that | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
vaccination does not work, now you are spending more money on ht? We | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
have always said that vaccination is part of the strategy and we have | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
been spending ?1.6 million ` year trying to develop an oral v`ccine | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
for badgers. We have always maintained it could be part of an | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
exit strategy and spread `` stem the spread of the disease into low risk | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
areas. But there is no single magic solution. You have always s`id that. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Let's be clear, culling is not being extended, but there will be future | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
culls. We are not rolling rolling the car out what we want to make | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
sure that we get it right. Ht is clear that we must make improvements | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
which we will carry on with this year. So it will be extended at some | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
stage? It will be, but we w`nt to make sure it is right in thdse first | :06:44. | :06:55. | |
two cull. Want to improve the methodology and then we will roll it | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
out. It was a brutal murder just yards | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
from her home in Bath. Now, 30 years on, detectives investigating the | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
murder of Melanie Road back in 984 are carrying out a major review of | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
the case. Significant developments in forensics technology mean that | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
police now have crucial information about the killer and after three | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
decades, they are desperate to solve the crime and give her family some | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
answers full. Imogen Sellers reports. | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
This is the spot where the body of Melanie Road was found just yards | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
from her home. Police say they have her killer's DNA and they are | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
convinced they can catch hil. A 17`year`old with her whold life | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
ahead of her. But on June nhne 984 she was brutally murdered. She'd | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
been here to the Beau Nash nightclub with friends ` and taken thhs short | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
cut up the hill home. So shd would have gone around the corner here and | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
just up the road, a short dhstance. Then she would have been back in her | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
own house. And somewhere ne`r this spot Melanie met her killer. She was | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
sexually assaulted and stabbed. Her body was found here early the | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
following morning by the milkman. But the killer left a trail of his | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
own blood as he ran from thd scene. Forensic advances mean police now | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
have his full DNA profile. They just need a name. Melanie really did not | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
deserve to die the way she did. I think the person could have been | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
local at the time. It is very unusual to have the evidencd to say | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
that that person is responshble All we need is the right name. Officers | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
are beginning by contacting hundreds of people linked to Melanie in the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
belief that her killer is along them. What we know is that the | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
killer ran down this steep stone area leaving a trail of blood spots. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
After about 30 yards, the Trail ends and the killer disappears. Ht may be | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
30 years on, but the lease leave they can still catch that khller. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
And bring justice to Melanid's family. | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
It was one of the first stories I covered 30 years ago. It wotld be | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
wonderful to solve it. If you have information, you know what to do. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Ian will be up on the roof to bring us a full weather forecast later. | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Stay with us for that and also how the success of the Gromit trail is | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
helping poorly children. A cash point was blown up in the | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
early hours of this morning in Bristol. It happened on Hartcliffe | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Way. Officers are looking at whether a device was attached to thd ATM to | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
cause the blast. Hundreds of pounds had been left littering the ground. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
It's not clear yet how much cash was taken. ?? new line The pier in | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Weston`super`Mare has announced it will start charging an entr`nce fee. | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
From tomorrow, anyone apart from children in pushchairs will have to | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
pay ?1 to visit the attracthon. The Pier says it has kept admission free | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
for as long as possible following the rebuild four years ago, but | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
operating costs are now thrde times more than for the original | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
structure. It's emerged that a local council in | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
Somerset has returned ?500,000 to a housing developer, because ht | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
couldn't spend it in time. Lendip District Council was given the cash | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
by house builder Crest Nicholson as part of a planning deal sevdn years | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
ago. The contract stated it had to be spent by 2013, but it wasn't and | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
the authority had to return the money. Martin Jones reports. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
How hard is it to spend half a million pounds of someone else's | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
money? Well, if you want to use it on an ambitious building project, it | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
might be harder than you thhnk. It started in 2007 when Mendip was | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
given money as part of a pl`nning deal for this housing development in | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
Street. It decided to use the cash to build affordable housing for | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
young people. But the idea ran into problem after problem. First, the | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
council wanted to build herd at the Wessex Hotel. But the deal collapsed | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
when the owner took it off the market. It then spent years looking | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
for a suitable site in Stredt. It eventually found one in 2010 ` here | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
on the High Street. But in 2012 the council's own planners turndd it | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
down. Twice. The problem was the money came with a catch ` it had to | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
be spent by February 2013. Ht wasn't, and Mendip has given the | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
money back. The council says it did everything it could to make sure the | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
project happened. We are frtstrated with the outcome. There werd | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
planning is use, developer hssues and other external issues which we | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
tried to address but in the end of the day, it was out of our control. | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
But questions are being askdd about whether it really tried hard enough. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
The deals between developers and local councils are often obscure. We | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
are talking about the loss of half ?1 million which is astonishing The | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
council had five years to look at the deadline and I cannot sde how | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
they let this happen. It is inexcusable. The deals betwden local | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
councils and developers are often obscure. This has been a rare | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
glimpse into how they work. A flood relief centre is cutting | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
down the days it needs to open, as more people start work to rdpair | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
their homes. The huge warehouse near Bridgwater supplies everythhng from | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
baby food to bleach, and had been welcoming families seven daxs a week | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
since the start of the year. That is a loud one! Amante Witherick | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
comes here three days a week to pick up toys for three`year`old Ben or | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
things for the temporary hole. I do not see the other mothers, we are | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
spread all over the place. She is one of 13 families a day who visit | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
the centre. People go into garages and find their tools all rusty. So | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
we have various people in v`rious parts of the country sitting down | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
behind computers and mobile phones making lots of phone calls on our | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
behalf, for which we are very grateful. Over the months, they have | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
had to tighten security as tnwanted visitors tried to take advantage of | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
people's generosity. First of all, we also photographic evidence and a | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
signed piece of paper to show that they are part of the scheme. If | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
there is any doubt, we have a map produced by the council to show | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
which properties were flooddd, so we will check it. Sometimes, wd have to | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
ask people to leave. Street pastors have also moved in to offer support | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
to people. As well as wanting to come here and collect things, people | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
want to talk to their friends and some very distressed. There was | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
nowhere to meet and see it. So we made this little cafe in thd corner | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
and we have been asked to m`n the cafe! Back at her temporary home, | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Amante Witherick is having to run her wedding business out of the | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
garage. It is twice as hard, but it is nice to have somewhere to work | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
from. I feel like we have moved house. We have done it in so many | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
stages, we dragged to televhsions through the flood water and | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
sideboards. And then you get there and there is no can opener. That | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
sort of little stuff that you have not got. It has been exhausting For | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
Ben, it is only an exciting adventure. His thought is only about | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
what toy to play with next! He is pretty adept at that. | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
How old is it reasonable to work to? One in five people in the wdst | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
country expect to work until they are in their 70s. We found this out | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
as part of our BBC Survey. Ht seems the younger you are, the older you | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
expect to be when you finally draw your pension. Tonight, we'll be | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
meeting some who are still going strong in their 80s. But first, are | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
some jobs just too physical to manage when you're older? Otr | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
business correspondent Dave Harvey reports. | :15:28. | :15:39. | |
Tom is not a fireman. He's pensions expert. But today, he wants to find | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
out what fighting fires is really like. Under here, arm on yotr | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
shoulder to give you support. Yes, it is every little boy's drdam day | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
out. But this is serious. Open it up, slowly. Gary and his frhends | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
have always taken their pensions and 55. Ministers say they must work on | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
until 60. As a pensions expdrt, Tom can see the logic, but Gary wants | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
Tom to see just how physical this job is. It is not like oper`ting a | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
garden hose, it is a not he`vier! It is heavy, there is a lot of | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
resistance. You have to physically manage the hose. They do not only | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
hose down training towers. This is a hefty piece of kit. This is what we | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
will use to cut out this person in the car. A lots of time is spent | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
cutting people out of cars `fter a horrible accidents. Good job. It is | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
hard work. Even slipping through a little bit of the car, that pillar, | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
is physically demanded. Looking on, a man who has hung up his | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
firefighting booths. Today, if you asked me to put on my kit, | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
absolutely not. For 25 years, Alistair cut people out of cars and | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
put out fires. Today, he is retired, and 57. In many jobs, that would be | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
early. That Alistair says hd had no choice. You are required to do | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
operational duties so you c`nnot say that you cannot go out and love that | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
horse out of the ditch. This is a very specific job with spechfic | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
needs. You have to have a pdnsion built to that job. Next, thd | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
training tower. How are you on that, Tom? Gary's point? It is not just | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
hard work when the calls cole in. Every day, they must train like this | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
to stay ready. But Tom cannot believe that these strongmen should | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
be completely retired at 55. You guys are still fit and strong in | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
your 50s, so you could be doing something, if not this work. It is | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
wrong. The government should not say that they should just go aw`y, it is | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
a waste of resources. I would love to carry on but you will not be fit | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
enough in your mid`50s. I would love it to happen that you would get | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
trained as a `` as an IT technician. It will not happen. They fedl their | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
call strongly. Is it is not just a cutting people out of car that gets | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
demanding. Nurses have physhcally demanding jobs. Gary, you c`n expect | :18:36. | :18:46. | |
to carry on to your mid`80s. If you are retired, you could end tp being | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
retired for as long as you were working. That does not seem | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
sustainable. That is why, hopefully today, we have shown you thd | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
physicality of what we do. Ht is based around the pension agd of 55. | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
The debate about working longer is working `` is nearing crunch time. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Both sides of the argument `lso strongly felt, you can see why it is | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
so difficult to resolve. ?? new line So when do you expect to stop | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
working? The state pension `ge or maybe even later? As part of our | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
When I Get Older poll we spoke to 1,000 people aged 30 to 65 who are | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
yet to retire, to find out. Just over 40% thought they would be 6 or | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
over before giving up work `nd nearly a fifth reckon they will be | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
70 or even older. So is that by choice or because you have to keep | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
working? Clinton Rogers has been to meet two octagenarians still drawing | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
a wage. They are both in their 80s `nd they | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
are both still working. But for different reasons. Tony Charlton is | :19:55. | :20:06. | |
still at the helm of the falily s sawmill business in Somerset. He was | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
84. Hp meant something entirely different when he joined thd family | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
firm. `` hp. He is collecting timber from the Longleat estate. And no, | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
there is no fence between them and the Lions! He has no idea if he is | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
Britain's oldest business Chief Executive. He must be close. And as | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
for retirement, that is for old people. I enjoyed it too much. I | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
like it. Why would I want to retire. I need to get old before I retire, | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
don't I? His employees say he is still in charge. Although hhs man | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
management has softened a lhttle. He used to come in with a stick, years | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
ago. Did he really? Three generations of the child and family. | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
Here giving the final once over to a gate destined for the Queen's | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
Sandringham estate. Who is hn charge, Daniel Grandad? That | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
depends! `` dad or Grandad. In Bristol, time to check out `nother | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
octogenarian for whom retirdment would leave a bad taste. Shd is 80 | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
years young and she has worked at the supermarket for 21 years. But | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
for her, money is the real driving factor. When she lost her l`st job | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
at the age of 59, having no work simply was not an option. Could you | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
have retired at 59? No, not financially. I like holidays, I have | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
to have a car. Right now, she has no plans to retire, which is good news | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
for her boss, who is young dnough to be her grandson. When do yot thing | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
she will retire? Hopefully, never! I am sure she has many years to come. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
I have to work a bit longer to pay for my holiday! Then maybe different | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
driving factors, but for both Mr Charlton and Alfredo, work hs | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
something they plan to hang onto as long as they can. Thank you. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
Goodbye. It was an event that attracted | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
visitors from across the world, but now the money raised by the Gromit | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
statues in Bristol is being spent where it matters. The Gromit | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Unleashed Trail raised almost ? million for Bristol Children's | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
Hospital last year. And as Catherine Powell reports, life is now just a | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
little easier for sick children and their families. | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
For ten weeks the decorated dogs drew the crowds to Bristol. Among | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
them, three`year`old Jessie. A dedicated Gromit fan, she m`naged to | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
see all 80 of the statues, despite undergoing aggressive treatlent for | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
leukaemia. What's this? She helped raise almost ?3,000 towards the | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
Wallace and Gromit Grand Appeal And today she was back at the hospital | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
to see the charity reach its target. We had the ambition of getthng | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
Jessica photographed next to one of the statues. She managed it all | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Between us and grandparents, she managed to get around all 80. Some | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
of the money will help make parents like Jessie's have more comfortable | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
stay when their children ard ill in hospitial. But the bulk of the money | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
is being spent on this MRI scanner. One of only two in the country, it | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
will also allow babies and children to be scanned while they ard being | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
operated on ` something neurosurgeon Michael Rust Carter says will | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
greatly improve their chancds of survival. It means that thex will be | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
in one of the premier surgical units in Europe, if not the world. They | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
will be benefiting from the most up to the minute, state`of`the`art kit | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
that is available, operated by the best technicians and surgeons in the | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
world. Long`term, this will show in terms of the kind of treatmdnts and | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
the outcomes that we get after surgery. How generous have people | :24:23. | :24:31. | |
been. Even nationally, supporting our appeal. Fundraisers now want to | :24:32. | :24:41. | |
take the target to a grand total of ?5 million. Money which will be | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
spent improving the lives of many more babies and children. | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
That would be brilliant. Yot have been so generous. Next year, it is | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Shaun the Sheep. We look forward to that Trail. Twins have been born to | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
a ring tailed lemur. The baby is one`week`old and are yet | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
to be named. Their mamma has some of her fingers missing after bding | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
mistreated as a youngster. She was rescued and given a new homd at the | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
park. Look how happy she and her babies are now. | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
Let's catch up with the weather The rain finally caught up with us. | :25:23. | :25:36. | |
Quite a lot of rain. Some of us woke up with Sahara and sand all the way | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
from Tunisia. The air pollution problems are becoming a thing of the | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
past. They have not been too bothersome across the West Country. | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
Just some in Bristol. A gre`t deal of dry weather today, perhaps one or | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
two great showers the mid`afternoon. For the time being, the rain is | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
quite heavy where we have it. Mostly across western areas. Some of it has | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
come further east. It just north in the late evening. After a dry night, | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
one two showers but mainly ` dry day. The rain coming into the | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
south`west will be a featurd for Saturday. For the rest of this | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
evening, a question of waithng for the rain to clear. It will do so by | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
late evening. A fair amount of cloud around tomorrow night. But ` dry | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
night for us all. Temperatures down on the last couple of nights. A dry | :26:37. | :26:46. | |
rush hour for us all, a dry morning. Variable amounts of cloud. Some | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
brighter spells here and thdre. A few showers in mid`afternoon. Most | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
will be light to moderate. Ht should not take the shine off an otherwise | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
dry story for us. It will continue that way into the evening. @s they | :27:05. | :27:17. | |
get through towards the weekend there is a change of weather type. | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
That is why we are sweeping away all of the pollution and dust. @ cloudy | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
day on Saturday, with light rain about. Breezy on Sunday. Thd rain | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
will be turning heavier and continuing like that to Monday. It | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
is definitely watch the dust of you! I wish I was up there with xou, Ian. | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
Question Time comes from Brhstol later. | :27:46. | :27:46. | |
I will see where 10pm. Goodbye. | :27:47. | :27:49. |
