Welcome to BBC Points West with Alex Lovell and David Garmston. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Our main story tonight, the police doctor who couldn't be trusted. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Doctor Bunting abused recruits during examinations - | :00:10. | :00:10. | |
his victims speak out, and say opportunities | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
This wasn't right but what do you do? She knew that we needed to get | :00:13. | :00:26. | |
through the medical and he had the power to abuse his position. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
We'll find out whether the force could now face legal | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Our other headlines tonight, tackling the budget - | :00:32. | :00:43. | |
businesses gather at a rugby club to assess what it means for us. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The dreaming spires - Somerset's plans to become | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
And it should be a piece of cake - an olympic rowing gold medalist | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
joins the paddle from Wiltshire to Westminster. | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
Police recruits who were groped by the force's own doctor | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
during routine medical examinations say they feel let down | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Dr Reg Bunting, who is now dead, worked for Avon and Somerset Police | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
His victims were mostly men who were undergoing a physical | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
An independent investigation has found that chances | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
John was a police officer with Avon and Somerset. | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
But he was on the front line more than 20 years. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
None more so than the police doctor, surely? | :01:41. | :01:50. | |
Doctor Reg Bunting was a GP whose medical career | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
But he's been accused of groping, fondling and even reportedly sexual | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
assault, mainly on new recruits like John | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
I thought, this wasn't right, but what do you do? | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
He knew that we needed to get through the medical. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
He had the power to abuse his position and do what he wants. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
I don't think anyone would have complained | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
because it was a hard job to get into. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
An independent report commissioned by Avon and Somerset Police found 44 | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
cases where Bunting's medical examinations fell below a common | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
And that police had missed three chances to intervene | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
Little if anything was done and the police watchdog | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
In their response, Avon and Somerset Police acknowledged | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
They also said that had Doctor Bunting been alive, | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
there was enough evidence to interview him under caution. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
And they apologised, praising those like John | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
A couple of the other victims I've spoken to say | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
they haven't been well treated by Avon and Somerset. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
One said they felt they had been treated as a | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
In the initial stages they assumed it was a group | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
of injured officers trying to cause trouble. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
The way police treat their own officers, there's not one | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
mention of sexual assault in that report. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
The report does make a number of recommendations which police | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
But for John and others, this is a painful chapter that | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Dickon Hooper, BBC Points West, Bristol. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Could there be further action on this? | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Yes, my understanding is that there could. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
The report makes clear that another doctor - | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
who is not named but is dead - carried out two medicals that | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
for the police and I understand they could face legal action - | :03:56. | :04:07. | |
especially from Bunting's victims who were serving officers | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
Most though were new recruits - desperate to get in - | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
And where does the force go from here? | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Well - physicals are no longer routine to get | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
into the police they told me - and they're determined staff | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
should have the confidence to come forward in future. | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
This of course a reference to the fact that concerns | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
were raised about Bunting but nothing was done. | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
This will take a cultural change in the force, | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Pressure is growing on Wiltshire's Chief Constable | :04:56. | :05:07. | |
to explain how a newspaper obtained details about an investigation | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Operation Conifer is looking into allegations about the former | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Prime Minister as part of a wider sexual abuse enquiry. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
The former Cabinet Secretary, Lord Armstrong, told the House | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
of Lords if the leaks came from within the force, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
The Chief Constable of Wiltshire has gone beyond the police duties | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
pronounced a verdict of guilty on the late Sir Edward Heath | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
in respect of allegations of child abuse and | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
has done that even before his enquiry is complete. | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
Wiltshire's Police and Crime Commissioner, Angus Macpherson, | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
says he remains satisfied with how the operation is being handled. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
He says the force has followed national guidance | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
It was a budget that was far from flashy but today Philip Hammond | :05:59. | :06:11. | |
He answered some of the concerned raised | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
by West councils over the | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
There is to be an extra ?2 billion over | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
It was a budget that was far from flashy but today Philip Hammond | :06:18. | :06:31. | |
He answered some of the concerned raised | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
by West councils over the | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
There is to be an extra ?2 billion over | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
In education there was also one third of a billion pounds | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
for new free schools in England which controversially could mean | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
more grammar schools and there was some support | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
for businesses which faced the rise in their rates after | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
But many were struck by the lack of mention | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
for the elephant in the room, that's Brexit. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
There is still huge uncertainty over what Brexit means, | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
what the negotiations are going to look like, | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
and what hard Brexit is as compared to a soft Brexit. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
We just don't know the outcomes of that so that is a cause of concern. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Particularly for those businesses who export at the moment | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
or trade internationally, who want to know what the outcome | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
of the negotiations is going to be and what impact that is going | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
to have on their staff and their businesses. | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
As the Chancellor delivered his speech in the Commons, | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
they were listening intently here at Gloucester Rugby club. | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Dozens of firms had gathered to hear what he | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Some were taken aback by the rise in taxes for higher earning | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
That will affect people like business | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
consultant Rupert Walters who must pay more into his national insurance | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
It's an increase in tax for me which means I will have to | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
pass it on to my clients or just take it as a tax hit. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
But essentially I have to really think | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
about what I do now in relation to tax and how I make | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
And there was good news for the high-tech sector currently | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
A fund of ?500 million was set aside which could | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
benefit firms like this one in Cheltenham which makes the | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
revolutionary new material, graphene. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
?500 million investment in our sector shows that they are | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
confident, that they see that these industries are really going to take | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
off and they are really getting behind things like graphene which | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
are going to be the new industries of the future. | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
So winners and losers from today's budget but as ever with | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
these big political moments, the devil is | :08:28. | :08:28. | |
always in the detail and | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
that will come out in the next few days. | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Thanks for joining us here on BBC Points West - | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Alex and David with you on this Wednesday evening. | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
Plenty more still to come, including... | :08:44. | :08:44. | |
It isn't only banter - Leroy Rosenior calls | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
for more to be done in football to combat racism. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
The jump jet which needed a helicopter's help to hover. | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
A firm has been fined ?600,000 after a sub-contractor hit | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
an 11,000 volt cable whilst working in Gloucester. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Steven Brown, from Swindon, suffered serious burns to his hands, | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
face and arms when he dug into the live cable | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
He spent two weeks in an induced coma. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |

that they regretted the incident and injuries to Mr Brown, | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
and have now reviewed their procedures to stop anything | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
similar happening again. Tributes have been paid | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
to a teenager who died at Bath's Southgate Shopping Centre | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
at the weekend. 15-year-old Chloe Gilbert | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
from Seend in Wiltshire Chloe was allergic to dairy | :10:09. | :10:10. | |

for North Bristol NHS Trust, who say she's a valued | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
member of staff. The first steps towards creating | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
a university for Somerset Within the last hour Bridgwater | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
and Taunton College has launched what it's calling | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
the University Centre for Somerset. It will offer degree level courses | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
ranging from fine art Clinton Rogers is at | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
the launch ceremony Now there are already | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
colleges across the county - inc this one in Taunton - | :11:00. | :11:24. | |
offering degree level courses. But we don't have a dedicated, | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
properly accredited university. Now in academia Somerset is regarded | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
as a Higher Education cold spot. In other words fewer than average | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
number of young people going on to higher education - | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
and the vast majority of those So that is what tonight | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
is all about - kick starting a process to establish | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
a Somerset University. The educational landscape | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
in Somerset is being redrawn. Their own promotional video | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
is nothing if not dramatic. But what exactly is | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
going to change here? All these students are already | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
studying for a degree. Though right now this | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
isn't a university. The courses are accredited | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
elsewhere, sometimes In future, their degrees | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
certificates could be branded Somerset University, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
but will that matter? I think it does because I think then | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
we can go on and we have From today, all 1,000 students | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
on degree courses at Taunton and Bridgwater Colleges, | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
which merged last summer, The college insists this is more | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
than just a name change. For one thing they plan to launch, | :12:41. | :12:51. | |
new degree courses from nuclear We won't be offering traditional | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
history degrees and geography This is very much about a sharp | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
focus on industry and the type So it won't be in the traditional | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
university format. One of the aims is to prevent | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
a brain drain of higher One of the big challenges | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
for employers is trying to find the right talent and we have over 2,000 | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
people living to go to universities across the region and nationally, | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Plymouth, Exeter, Bristol etc. It could take years before | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
the college achieves There are many hoops | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
to jump through yet. But it is now a declared aim, | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
part of a campaign to persuade more higher education students | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
to study locally. Now one tangible example | :13:43. | :13:56. | |
of the new degree courses they hope to create here as they strive | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
to become a fully fledged are Bristol, Plymouth | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
or Bournemouth. They hope to have that up | :14:06. | :14:17. | |
and running by early next year. A footballer has spoken out | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
about the horrific racial abuse Leroy Rosenior has written about his | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
life in football at different clubs, including several in the West, | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
during the 80s and 90s. Our sports editor Alistair | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
Durden went to meet him. Leroy joined for West Ham before | :14:36. | :14:59. | |
joining Bristol City but as a black footballer in the 1980s he says he | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
faced racism on a daily basis. It got so bad at one point that his | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
family stopped coming to watch him play. I don't with racist tributes | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
and bananas and monkey chants and spitting on a regular basis. At a | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
Leeds United game we were 1-0 down and one of the black players on the | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
pitch went to get the ball and the whole of the Leeds stand at a Nazi | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
salute towards us. I was 17 at the time. Home waste spread was the | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
racism? Other players would you this and that and you could see players | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
getting visibly upset that I did it if I said I wasn't happy I would be | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
labelled with one as a problem who couldn't be integrated in to the | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
side so I had to keep quiet. During his time as player coach at | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
Gloucester City he says he was refused entry into an opposition | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
boardroom full stop Leroy was one of the country's first black managers | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
and there are still only a handful. Clubs wanted a big black strong | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
striker and we went captains are leaders of people who could | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
organise, people didn't perceive you to be able to do that and because of | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
that we have never had any black managers and when I was a manager | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
there are only two or three in the football league and I would say | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
don't you want to do coaching badges and they would say that was no point | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
and they wondered whether the pathway was for them to become a | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
manager but what I need to do is make sure there's an even playing | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
field going forward for everyone and I think I might be in a position to | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
influence that a bit more. Know a successful football pundit, Leroy | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
still campaigns to break down racism and the game and 12 things are | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
improving he says there are still a lot of work to do. | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
Joining us now is Roisin Wood - the Chief Executive Officer | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
of the organisation Kick It Out, which works to tackle | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
Leroy's experiences of the game in the 80s and 90s are shocking - | :17:14. | :17:25. | |
I think is important Leroy shares that with everybody and he is not | :17:26. | :17:35. | |
alone. There is so much for us to do and we have to keep working hard and | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
tackling not just racism but all forms of discrimination and | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
acknowledge that by working with people like Leroy who has a great | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
ambassador for the game but also clubs and managers and the football | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
authorities themselves. point about the number of black | :17:50. | :18:02. | |
players who stay within the sport once their playing careers are over | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
- is there a still issue with the move into management, | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
coaching, the administration I think there is encouraging about | :18:09. | :18:20. | |
diversifying the whole of football. We feel strongly about | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
diversification in the boardrooms and throughout the game at every | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
single level of the game, there has to be more women and people from | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
different backgrounds and people with disabilities because the more | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
diverse football can be, the stronger it will be both as a sport | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
and as a business. It's shocking when we see really outrageous | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
examples of racism and football in this day and age, it's never right | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
obviously but certainly in the day and age are still can't believe when | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
I hear something. How far I really getting with it? We have come a long | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
way but there is still a long way to go. We are an independent reporting | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
bureau and we actively encourage everybody as ACR here any form of | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
discrimination at a football game to report that and that is really | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
important. We launched a campaign this year called time on heat and we | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
recognise there is still hate and prejudice and society and that will | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
be in football. We have to work together and push forward to make | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
sure that football takes and responsibilities seriously but also | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
as a fan that if we see something that we report it an striker Willie | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
had to make football bodies deal with it seriously as and as from | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
transparently as possible. Thank you very much. | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Gloucester Rugby have spoken for the first time since parting | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
company with their head coach on Monday night. | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
After their defeat against Harlequins on Saturday, | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
Laurie Fisher said on Twitter that he'd had enough and was leaving. | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
He joined Gloucester in 2014 but there has been little | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
improvement on the field in that time. | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
Gloucester say they hope to announce a replacement head coach | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
I'm bitterly disappointed but we don't think that it is broken and I | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
think we have recruited well for next year but we just ask our | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
supporters and stakeholders that are out there the same thing I keep | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
asking them to stick with us and keep the faith because it will turn | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
at some stage. a replacement head coach by the end | :20:29. | :20:29. | |
of the month. And that's not been the only | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
exit from one of our Bristol City sacked assistant head | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
coach John Pemberton ahead of last The club also announced their head | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
of scouting would be leaving. City drew 1-1 with Norwich, | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
meaning they stay in Eddie the Eagle has | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
returned to the ski jump Here he is back in Calgary - | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
where he rose to fame The 53-year-old's furthest jump this | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
time around though was 24 metres - less than half the distance | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
he jumped almost three decades ago. Bath's double Olympic | :21:11. | :21:21. | |
champion Helen Glover is about to take on a new challenge | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
with a new partner, her wildlife She's taking a crash | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
course in kayaking, so they can paddle all the way | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
from Wiltshire to Westminster. Helen may be a world champion rower | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
but this is uncharted water - so it's down to hubby | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
and experienced kayaker Steve When the day is like | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
today and it is blue skies and sunshine, | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
all you want to do is get on the water | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
but so far we have had driving rain, gale force winds, we were paddling | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
in storm Doris in the dark at night, 30-year-old Helen's a double | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
Olympic gold medal winner But paddling 125 miles in a kayak | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
from Devizes in Wiltshire I'm used to racing a seven minute | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
race but this is going to be, So it is entirely different and that | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
has been part of the fun of it because I have been trying | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
to perfect the sport for ten years, trying to be the best | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
in the world and this is just the opposite, | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
this is just trying to learn the sport | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
within about six weeks. Steve Backshall's used to toughing | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
it out on his travels. Many of his series have been filmed | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
for BBC's Natural history The money the couple raise | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
is going towards protecting We saw this opportunity | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
and we thought we had to do a big challenge to raise enough | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
money to make a difference. But also for me coming | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
off the back of an Olympic year, a challenge like this | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
kind of gives me a goal and focus. They've not got long left to train, | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
as the contest gets underway Now, a whole new meaning | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
to offering someone a lift. A Sea Harrier jump jet | :23:13. | :23:34. | |
arrived at the new Bristol Aerospace Museum today | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
- by helicopter! The jump jet was too wide | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
for local road bridges, so an RAF Chinook was brought | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
in to make the special delivery. The Sea Harrier will be | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
one of the exhibits at Aerospace Bristol, | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
which is due to open this summer. I loved that. It has been a bit | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
dreary today. Something of a gloomy day although | :23:59. | :24:22. | |
some bricks in the cloud as the day wore on and it has felt pleasantly | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
springlike. Some people don't consider spring to start until after | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
the Equinox on the 20th of March but in terms of meteorology and claim it | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
to reconsider the whole of March to be a spring a month and we have | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
milder air with us so it is no feeling springlike. E-mailed error | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
has come with cloud and a bit of patchy rain as we go through the | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
night and into tomorrow starting to pull away nicely so maybe a little | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
bit of drizzle around through this evening but it is clearing up | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
properly not as much as this blue would suggest that by tomorrow | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
morning we are dry and still have the cloud around and still the | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
milder air with a switch is the story for the next few days. | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
Tomorrow we start with temperatures in double figures. We have to get | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
rid of that cloud tomorrow but we are optimistic it is going to | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
happen, the window breaking up from the north saw ended to | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
Gloucestershire and eventually rupture and perhaps not sweat so | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
much into Somerset. To see good sunny spells and bricks farther | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
south. Really nice for the time of year, maybe 13 or 14 degrees about | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
three or four Mac degrees above average but when you get the spring | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
sunshine on your back you notice the difference. Tomorrow an area of high | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
pressure means it is fizzling out but we have a gloomy day and | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
prospect for Freddie with still e-mailed error and you can see some | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
mist and bits and pieces of patchy rain or drizzle and that is what the | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Tomic two. Another fairly grey day for Freddie and southerly winds will | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
help the temperatures still at 13 degrees so you don't even need the | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
sunshine to be above average. For the weekend some high pressure for a | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
time but on Sunday and this little front will make its way in and | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
nudges the high pressure out of the way before that rebuilds so in terms | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
of the weekend, if you have outdoor plans like the bath half marathon on | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
Sunday, Saturday is the drier day of the two. Thank you. I'll be | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
gardening on Saturday. We see you tomorrow goodbye. | :26:42. | :26:45. |
