:00:00.:00:00.

Good evening. with

:00:00.:00:13.

We begin with some breaking news tonight.

:00:14.:00:16.

It has just been confirmed to us that Wiltshire Police are

:00:17.:00:19.

investigating allegations relating to the Little Angels Nursery

:00:20.:00:23.

Ofsted has stepped in to close the nursery and, staff are in

:00:24.:00:27.

A 37`year`old woman was arrested this weekend and questioned.

:00:28.:00:31.

She has been released on bail while inquiries continue.

:00:32.:00:33.

We'll follow any developments in the coming days.

:00:34.:00:37.

Multimillion`pound repair works are about to get started on one

:00:38.:00:39.

of the busiest commuter routes into Bristol.

:00:40.:00:42.

More than 19,000 vehicles use the A370 every day.

:00:43.:00:44.

From tomorrow, they face they face six months of delays.

:00:45.:00:50.

It's a popular commuter route into Bristol.

:00:51.:00:58.

But from tomorrow morning two of three lanes on the Long Ashton

:00:59.:01:01.

From the road it's hard to see the Yanley Viaduct,

:01:02.:01:07.

It's 45 years old and parts of it have become badly worn

:01:08.:01:11.

from the thousands of vehicles which use it each day.

:01:12.:01:16.

If we don't do the work there is a risk that further on

:01:17.:01:26.

down the line the expansion joints in the bridge could seize,

:01:27.:01:29.

the bridge could then potentially buckle, which would cause far

:01:30.:01:31.

greater problems, far greater closure time to put it right.

:01:32.:01:34.

Traffic on the bypass will only be able to travel in one direction,

:01:35.:01:37.

with vehicles going into Bristol using it in the morning and outbound

:01:38.:01:40.

There will be diversions ` one for cars and a longer one

:01:41.:01:48.

There's no official diversion through Long Ashton, but residents

:01:49.:01:54.

It will be pretty hectic year. Unless you physically stop people

:01:55.:02:10.

from coming through it will be pretty bad.

:02:11.:02:11.

The only comfort for residents and commuters is that once this

:02:12.:02:14.

?3.4 million project is complete the council says major work won't

:02:15.:02:16.

be needed here again for another 15 years.

:02:17.:02:18.

Madeleine Ware, BBC Points West, Long Ashton.

:02:19.:02:21.

And there are works at the Clifton Suspension Bridge this week.

:02:22.:02:23.

It will be closed Monday to Friday from 9:30am

:02:24.:02:26.

Pedestrians can still use the bridge and cyclists can walk

:02:27.:02:31.

It is so that resurfacing and safety works can be carried out.

:02:32.:02:35.

England have won the Women's Rugby World Cup, with five players

:02:36.:02:38.

Our reporter Andy Howard watched the game with some

:02:39.:02:43.

This might be more than 400 miles away from Paris, but the tensions

:02:44.:02:59.

felt the same. Watching the team`mates in a World Cup final

:03:00.:03:04.

seems to put these two through the mill. But after half an hour, you

:03:05.:03:17.

Asian. ``. Canada were not giving up that

:03:18.:03:24.

easily. The nerves on the sofa grew, until England scored again

:03:25.:03:38.

near the end. THEY SCEAM. It was all over. England are world

:03:39.:03:44.

champions. Win it will be euphoria, a mixture of not being able to leave

:03:45.:03:49.

it has actually happened, I imagine there will be a lot of relief and a

:03:50.:03:55.

lot of aching bodies, a lot of, I cannot believe we have done it. Yes,

:03:56.:04:04.

fantastic. The West has five new World Cup winners and this is one

:04:05.:04:10.

very happy living room. Time for the weather.

:04:11.:04:13.

We saw the winds pick up in the afternoon, but we did see some

:04:14.:04:17.

sunshine, and we?ll keep the breeze going as we go through the night.

:04:18.:04:23.

It should be a mainly dry night, there will be some showers scooting

:04:24.:04:26.

through but I think most of us will see a dry one.

:04:27.:04:29.

Underneath the clear skies temperatures will be

:04:30.:04:39.

cooler, especially in rural areas, we could hit single figures.

:04:40.:04:41.

A noticeably cooler night than the one just gone.

:04:42.:04:43.

Tomorrow we keep the brisk northwesterly wind, it will feed one

:04:44.:04:46.

or two showers down and particularly towards the east we could see the

:04:47.:04:49.

In sunshine it will not feel particularly warm,

:04:50.:04:53.

the winds will make it feel cooler than the temperatures suggest.

:04:54.:04:55.

We keep the wind through Tuesday, a mixture of sunny spells

:04:56.:04:58.

That is offering a. Thank you for watching and good night.

:04:59.:05:12.

A northerly wind is never a welcome visitor across the shores of the UK.

:05:13.:05:18.

And particularly in the middle of August. Despite weather conditions

:05:19.:05:25.

improving, we gales bombarding Scotland. A rash of showers merging

:05:26.:05:30.

for longer spells of rain here. That area of low pressure is drifting

:05:31.:05:34.

further east. Some of the showers will ease during the night. One or

:05:35.:05:40.

two could filter into north Wales and the Midlands. The strongest
