:00:09. > :00:13.Hello and welcome to BBC Points West.

:00:13. > :00:16.In tonight's headlines: The 13- year-old killed in a hit and run.

:00:16. > :00:21.As the driver admits his guilt Amy Hofmeister's mother speaks of her

:00:21. > :00:25.tragic loss. How the West joined the national protest, we'll have

:00:25. > :00:31.details and full analysis. Also tonight, what NASA astronauts

:00:31. > :00:34.brought back from space for some Somerset pupils.

:00:34. > :00:44.And a star is born? We talk to the 10-year-old who

:00:44. > :00:48.

:00:48. > :00:54.The mother of a 13-year-old girl who was knocked off her bike and

:00:54. > :00:58.killed in Taunton has been speaking of her grief. Amy Hofmeister died

:00:58. > :01:01.as she rode back from school earlier this month. She would have

:01:01. > :01:04.been 14 on Saturday. Her mother Jane, who's spoken for the first

:01:04. > :01:11.time since her daughter died, says the support of the community has

:01:11. > :01:14.kept her going. Emma Campbell reports.

:01:14. > :01:18.Photographs are doubly precious to her family now. Looking through

:01:18. > :01:23.them gives you the sense of a bubbly, happy girl with a big

:01:23. > :01:32.capacity for fun. She would have been 14 on Saturday. Wonderful.

:01:32. > :01:37.Sparkly, bubbly, fun-loving. Full of life, enthusiastic. Bowmore and

:01:37. > :01:42.put me extremely warm. Extremely kind and passionate. -- but more

:01:42. > :01:49.importantly. The friendliest little girl you could wish to make. Since

:01:49. > :01:55.her death cards have poured in in their hundreds. The bereavement

:01:55. > :01:58.process, it is the grief of the region, my grief and Benjamin's

:01:58. > :02:03.grief and my family's grief. But everybody is there with me. And

:02:03. > :02:13.supporting the and lovingly. I can ask for more. -- supporting me and

:02:13. > :02:13.

:02:13. > :02:18.loving me. I gave consent for them to retain some of her heart tissue

:02:18. > :02:24.for heart related research in the future and her heart valves. She

:02:24. > :02:31.had the biggest heart and she gave her heart. I got a letter this

:02:31. > :02:38.morning to say that two people have been saved. That is wonderful, she

:02:38. > :02:46.would be thrilled. In her memory her mother is campaigning to

:02:46. > :02:48.improve road safety. It was the biggest co-ordinated strike in

:02:48. > :02:50.decades. Across the West hundreds of

:02:50. > :02:54.thousands of people were affected as schools shut and civil servants

:02:54. > :02:58.stayed away from work. By far the biggest protest was in the centre

:02:58. > :03:01.of Bristol, where thousands marched to a rally in Castle Park. A bit

:03:01. > :03:06.more sedate was this picket line in Temple Quay, dubbed Bristol's mini-

:03:06. > :03:10.Whitehall, it's where many government offices are based. Staff

:03:10. > :03:12.arriving at some universities were also greeted by placards. Our

:03:12. > :03:20.political editor Paul Barltrop reports now on a day of protest

:03:20. > :03:23.across the West. They came in their thousands to the

:03:23. > :03:29.West's biggest protest rally in Bristol. There were members of many

:03:29. > :03:32.unions but most of all teachers. Before it began I met two who're

:03:32. > :03:37.new to it. Claire Neaves has taught in a primary school for three years

:03:37. > :03:42.and is dismayed she may have to pay more for a smaller pension.

:03:42. > :03:45.I think if we don't strike, if we don't go out and show the

:03:45. > :03:48.government there is that strength of feeling, nothing will change.

:03:48. > :03:55.Rosie Walton's just finished her training, but having second

:03:55. > :04:00.thoughts. I would really love to work as a teacher. However, I am

:04:00. > :04:04.currently considering other options, and obviously the pensions is one

:04:04. > :04:09.of those things that will affect my decision.

:04:09. > :04:13.In the city centre they joined a large, good-humoured march. As well

:04:13. > :04:16.as teachers, there were civil servants from the PCS union. They'd

:04:16. > :04:26.co-ordinated this day of action to make the maximum impact. But many

:04:26. > :04:30.

:04:30. > :04:34.Lot of passion here today. Some of these people are used to protesting

:04:34. > :04:42.but it is striking just how many say they have never before been on

:04:42. > :04:47.strike. It is about the privatisation of the services.

:04:47. > :04:51.are striking not just to cause a big inconvenience to Paris ended

:04:51. > :04:55.children, but to protect our profession. -- to parents and

:04:55. > :04:58.children. The rally was preaching to the converted but these teachers

:04:58. > :05:01.believe they got their message across. The amount of people out

:05:01. > :05:06.today marching for the same cause and the amount of public support

:05:06. > :05:09.was amazing. This isn't just about teachers' pensions, it is about how

:05:09. > :05:16.we want our society to be going forward and education is something

:05:16. > :05:19.everybody cares about. And all agreed one thing, if the Government

:05:19. > :05:22.doesn't soften its line, this strike won't be the last.

:05:22. > :05:32.So how did parents cope with today's disruption? We caught up

:05:32. > :05:35.with a few in Bath. Today we are quite lucky. It is a

:05:35. > :05:44.treat to be forced to spend the day with my children instead of being

:05:45. > :05:49.at work. The schools of today. If we take children of school we get

:05:49. > :05:54.fined for it. I don't agree with it at all. The changes that they are

:05:54. > :05:58.making, too quick, too fast. I am all in favour of them going out in

:05:58. > :06:01.strike -- on strike. Let's talk now to our Business

:06:01. > :06:07.Correspondent Dave Harvey, who's spent much of the day at a school

:06:07. > :06:17.in Filton, near Bristol. Welcome to Abbeywood Community School, a brand

:06:17. > :06:21.new school built on Bristol's northern fringe. No pupils in today

:06:21. > :06:24.though, as the majority of teachers here in NUT. I was here early this

:06:24. > :06:34.morning when they set up a picket line, colourful flags, plenty of

:06:34. > :06:34.

:06:34. > :06:37.kids, very much a family affair, not an angry protest. They had a

:06:37. > :06:40.VIP guest too, Brendan Barber, the top man in the union movement,

:06:40. > :06:45.General Secretary of the TUC, came West today to meet union members

:06:45. > :06:48.and spread the word. But what of the public? This is often presented

:06:48. > :06:53.as a clash between the unions and the Government but actually there

:06:53. > :07:01.is a third party in this. People who pay taxes, but work in the

:07:01. > :07:05.private sector, and get very different pensions. So for a moment

:07:05. > :07:12.or two, I want to take you away from all this hurly burly to a

:07:12. > :07:20.quieter place, but still part of the argument. Spend a few moments

:07:20. > :07:25.with me in Clevedon. They are playing a team from Nottingham.

:07:25. > :07:29.What do you see? A lot of retired people, but also in the 70s and 80s,

:07:29. > :07:33.a lot of remarkably fit, retired people. That is the pensions

:07:33. > :07:38.problem in a nutshell. We're all living longer. Our pensions must

:07:38. > :07:42.stretch further. Many who feel teachers' pensions are a fair bit

:07:42. > :07:49.better than theirs. A fair bit better is probably an

:07:49. > :07:52.understatement. A damn sight better. The government are right that in

:07:52. > :07:57.some way or another we have got to get some rationale as far as

:07:57. > :08:01.pensions are concerned. contribution we get paid in. We pay

:08:01. > :08:07.the rest ourselves. From the bowling green to the Investment

:08:07. > :08:11.Brokers. Welcome to Bristol's top financial company. The difference

:08:11. > :08:14.is immense. If more people knew in the private sector what was

:08:14. > :08:18.happening it would be the private sector going on strike. 700 people

:08:18. > :08:21.work here. On decent salaries yes, of course, but like thousands of

:08:21. > :08:25.others to work for private companies the pension they can

:08:25. > :08:31.build a peer doesn't begin to compare with that of a teacher,

:08:31. > :08:36.doctor, or civil servant -- build up here. Someone on a salary of

:08:36. > :08:40.�20,000 repairing on �40,000, gets a pension of �27,000. In the

:08:40. > :08:45.private sector you would need a sum of �900,000 to do that and he is

:08:45. > :08:47.the big killer, a contribution level of 40% from the employer and

:08:47. > :08:53.employee. There is no way you would get anything like the same in the

:08:53. > :08:56.private sector. What teachers will say is that was the deal when they

:08:56. > :09:00.signed up and there are lots of other problems, they don't get as

:09:00. > :09:03.good pay, and the pension was one of the reasons they went into it.

:09:03. > :09:07.The play has improved immensely. The private sector has gone right

:09:07. > :09:11.down. That is not really a good story any more, it doesn't hold

:09:11. > :09:21.water. Yes, they have to work hard but do we have to work hard in the

:09:21. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:26.private sector? Mark Dampier, from Hargreaves Lansdown. 40%

:09:26. > :09:29.contributions. I mentioned that the country's top union man has spent

:09:29. > :09:32.most of the day here, Brendan Barber, who runs the TUC started

:09:32. > :09:36.the day here, then went to Taunton and Bristol as well. Shortly before

:09:36. > :09:38.we came on the air, I asked him if he thought all the disruption had

:09:38. > :09:40.been worth it. I regret the disruption. I don't

:09:40. > :09:45.want to see ordinary people, families inconvenience in the way

:09:45. > :09:48.they have been today. I went to see these resolved through sensible

:09:48. > :09:51.negotiation that any government to work with us to make that a

:09:52. > :09:55.possibility. There have been people watching this who have taken a

:09:55. > :09:59.day's leave, spend extra money on child care whose children have

:09:59. > :10:04.missed out on vital revision for important exams. They are paying

:10:04. > :10:08.taxes for your members to get better pensions than them. People

:10:08. > :10:12.realise quite how serious the attack on pensions is the

:10:12. > :10:15.government are proposing. I don't think people see public service

:10:15. > :10:21.workers in the way some commentators increasingly are

:10:21. > :10:25.describing them as if these are almost parasite on society. With

:10:25. > :10:28.the rest of us having to support them in an unfair and unreasonable

:10:28. > :10:32.way. A lot of people feel you get a better deal and the public --

:10:32. > :10:35.public sector and private sectors are you should stop whingeing.

:10:35. > :10:39.There is no doubt in the private sector pensions provision has got

:10:39. > :10:42.worse but are we going to make it any better if we drank down the

:10:42. > :10:47.standards in the public sector, not in any single way are we going to

:10:47. > :10:51.make it better. -- dragged down. Their pupils in a school behind you

:10:51. > :10:58.who have never known a winter of discontent a, is that what we have

:10:58. > :11:03.got ahead of us? I don't want to see a summer autumn of discontent.

:11:03. > :11:06.I want to see a solution achieved presentable negotiation. I do need

:11:06. > :11:09.the government to come to the table in a rather different way than they

:11:09. > :11:14.have done so far. They say they are not negotiating and you are

:11:14. > :11:19.striking. They say that by unilaterally they announced a 3%

:11:19. > :11:23.increase in people's contributions and a pay freeze. They are making

:11:23. > :11:32.these unilateral announcements rather than sitting down and

:11:32. > :11:36.allowing sensible, fare negotiation and that is what we need.

:11:36. > :11:39.Brendan Barber standing resolute there. Today had the feel of a

:11:39. > :11:44.family fun day. There was a sunny day after all. But when this

:11:44. > :11:48.argument unions may have to be many more days of action on cold, rainy

:11:48. > :11:51.autumn date -- but to win this argument. The battle lines are

:11:51. > :11:55.strongly drawn. Both sides feel they have a strong argument,

:11:55. > :12:05.neither wants to give way, and interestingly both sides have a lot

:12:05. > :12:07.

:12:07. > :12:11.of public support. We will see Thanks Dave. Well what do you think

:12:11. > :12:14.about today's strike? They are lucky to get what they get, they

:12:15. > :12:19.get it on top of the state pension. We think our teachers are wonderful

:12:19. > :12:23.and we want them to get a fair deal. And we'll have more of your views

:12:23. > :12:27.before the end of the programme. Wiltshire Police has been given new

:12:27. > :12:31.powers to tackle domestic violence. Anyone suspected of abusing their

:12:31. > :12:36.partner can be banned from their home for up to a month before any

:12:36. > :12:41.charges are brought against them. Scott Ellis reports.

:12:41. > :12:45.Wiltshire police launching its new powers to tackle domestic abuse.

:12:45. > :12:48.It's a crime they deal with every day. From now, if officers are

:12:48. > :12:55.called to a home, but there's not enough evidence to charge an abuser

:12:55. > :13:01.they can issue a new Domestic Violence Protection Notice. It bans

:13:01. > :13:10.the suspect from the home for 48 hours. It can be backed up with a

:13:10. > :13:14.Domestic Violence Protection Order. That bans them for up to 28 days.

:13:14. > :13:20.There is massive amounts of repeat victimisation. For every day that

:13:20. > :13:27.suspect is not with that a victim of we are preventing crime.

:13:27. > :13:36.assaulted by punching and pushing her. -- I assaulted. This man was

:13:36. > :13:43.arrested for beating his partner but was allowed back home. Under

:13:43. > :13:50.new laws that shouldn't happen. is good for giving her breathing

:13:50. > :13:53.space. It has got to be good for that to protect the victim. This

:13:53. > :14:00.woman suffered emotional abuse. She became so frightened she sought

:14:00. > :14:04.help. Under new laws she'd have acted more quickly. I would have

:14:04. > :14:09.been able to access certain help but I had to wait to access it. It

:14:09. > :14:16.would have given me time to consider what life would be like on

:14:16. > :14:22.my own. And to consider whether that was what I wanted. The new

:14:22. > :14:26.powers are backed up by support for victim. But also advice for abusers.

:14:26. > :14:30.Wiltshire Police have a year to test out these new powers. If they

:14:30. > :14:35.are successful other forces will adopt them. They hope they will

:14:35. > :14:44.work because at the moment domestic violence accounts for a quarter of

:14:44. > :14:46.all violent crime in the county. One of the nuclear reactors at

:14:47. > :14:50.Oldbury Power Station in South Gloucestershire is being shutdown

:14:50. > :14:53.this evening. Reactor 2 was built in 1965 and has now reached the end

:14:53. > :14:58.of its operational life. The other reactor is due to be closed down

:14:58. > :15:01.next year. Last month the government confirmed Oldbury is one

:15:01. > :15:06.of the sites it considers suitable for a new nuclear power station to

:15:06. > :15:12.be built. In sport Bristol is hoping to host

:15:12. > :15:18.matches at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup. The Inspection Committee

:15:18. > :15:21.visited Ashton Gate, the Memorial Stadium and Filton Academy today.

:15:21. > :15:24.Over 30 towns and cities hope be part of a tournament that will be

:15:24. > :15:28.watched by more than 300,000 people across England and Wales. Bristol's

:15:28. > :15:32.bid has to be submitted by mid July and the venues will be announced in

:15:32. > :15:35.November. Now to a story that we couldn't bring you yesterday

:15:35. > :15:39.because of the tennis. On Tuesday night, here at Points

:15:39. > :15:42.West we took a phone call from a very excited Mum. She said that her

:15:42. > :15:45.daughter had been on stage at the Glastonbury Festival and was there

:15:45. > :15:48.any chance that our cameras had managed to catch the moment. Well

:15:48. > :15:51.it turns out that not only had 10- year-old Shae been on stage, she'd

:15:51. > :15:54.actually got to sing along with her favourite pop star. Alice Bouverie

:15:54. > :15:58.takes up the story. When Jesse J asked for a volunteer from the

:15:58. > :16:07.audience to join her on stage at Glastonbury, she may not quite have

:16:07. > :16:11.been expecting what she got. 10- year-old Shae not only knew all the

:16:11. > :16:18.words to the song, but wasn't afraid to belt them out to an

:16:18. > :16:26.audience of thousands. For some music pundits, it was a significant

:16:26. > :16:32.moment of the festival. She was good, that little girl. We thought

:16:32. > :16:39.she was suspiciously good at first. She wasn't a planned, she was

:16:39. > :16:43.genuine. The whole mood of the Festival changed. There is a was a

:16:43. > :16:48.time when things turn around, a pivotal performance, when things be

:16:48. > :16:51.different. According to her family, at home Shae is quite shy. And her

:16:51. > :16:54.starring role came as such a surprise, her mum and twin sister

:16:54. > :17:04.actually missed it. Luckily, the rest of Glastonbury didn't. Shae

:17:04. > :17:13.

:17:13. > :17:19.joins us now in the studio, along We have been talking about you for

:17:19. > :17:25.two days. You are such a star. How have you friends reacted? They have

:17:25. > :17:30.been, oh my God, you're on stage with Jessie J. I was like, I know!

:17:30. > :17:37.How did you come to be on stage? Some people say it was a fix.

:17:37. > :17:41.wasn't. What happened is that she asked for another microphone and

:17:41. > :17:44.for one of the people form -- from the audience to come out and my

:17:44. > :17:51.sister started pointing at me and chatting my name. So then they came

:17:52. > :17:57.to me and grabbed me and took the onstage. You're just landing on

:17:57. > :18:01.stage. What was remarkable is that you just went for it. Been there

:18:01. > :18:11.she say, just joining way you can. And they need to go over. Did you

:18:11. > :18:11.

:18:11. > :18:17.not feel nervous? No, not really. How many people watching? 180,000.

:18:17. > :18:22.What will you do next year, Wembley? Maybe. You actually missed

:18:22. > :18:27.this, didn't you? I did. I was in the tent with her sister and her

:18:27. > :18:31.boyfriend. You didn't realise she was on stage. I was getting text

:18:31. > :18:36.messages but I was a long way away. You couldn't have believed it. What

:18:36. > :18:41.did you think when you finally saw it? I couldn't believe it.

:18:41. > :18:47.Afterwards we went for a walk and hundreds of people were asking to

:18:47. > :18:51.have their photographs taken with her. Did is to praise the when you

:18:51. > :18:55.realise what had happened? -- did it surprise you. The mat of

:18:55. > :19:05.confidence did surprise me. She is not normally as confident -- the

:19:05. > :19:10.amount. Is this something you want to do? I do sing, but I dance.

:19:10. > :19:16.just do everything, an all-rounder. I pick Jessie J normally does but

:19:17. > :19:26.she had broken her leg. I think she does both. So you have collaborated

:19:27. > :19:28.

:19:28. > :19:33.with Jessie J, who would you like to collaborate with next? Rhianna.

:19:33. > :19:37.If you get a camera you can ask her. Can I join you on stage? You never

:19:37. > :19:43.know where these things might take you. We will let you know if they

:19:43. > :19:49.get in touch. Briefly, had it been difficult coming down? Shae hasn't

:19:49. > :19:59.been too bad. It is made. She is just a natural. Thank you for

:19:59. > :20:06.

:20:06. > :20:09.coming in. I have a feeling we are A tie from Millfield school in

:20:09. > :20:12.Taunton has returned safely back from space! What a great start to a

:20:12. > :20:15.story. Yes, the last NASA team to fly the

:20:15. > :20:23.space shuttle Discovery visited Millfield today, and they brought

:20:23. > :20:28.back with them a treasured old school tie. Steve Powell reports.

:20:28. > :20:32.The last time these astronauts from Somerset -- saw Somerset they were

:20:32. > :20:37.travelling at five miles per second on the last flight of the space

:20:37. > :20:43.shuttle Discovery. Today they were on another special mission to speak

:20:43. > :20:47.to student at Millfield School in St. And the commander of the

:20:47. > :20:51.mission, we were at the final flight of the space shuttle

:20:51. > :20:56.Discovery. How many of you know what a special place? You are about

:20:56. > :20:59.to learn a little bit more. After watching a film about the last

:20:59. > :21:06.flight the children were bursting with questions for the real life

:21:06. > :21:12.spacemen. He was the first person in space? A Russian was the first

:21:12. > :21:17.person in space. What does it mean to have these special guest? It is

:21:17. > :21:23.an amazing opportunity for us to expose our young people to science

:21:23. > :21:27.in action. This astronaut his has been due to be assumed at the

:21:27. > :21:31.school took an old school tie and typing for the ride. Today she

:21:31. > :21:34.returned it back to earth. This is pretty special. One of the things

:21:34. > :21:41.about it is my husband went to school here. We had the opportunity

:21:41. > :21:45.to get back in touch with the school and fly several items for

:21:45. > :21:49.the school, a tie and pin, to take with us. To share that with my

:21:49. > :21:55.screw is really great. Science lessons were never like this when I

:21:55. > :21:59.was a kid. Let's return now to today's

:21:59. > :22:02.industrial action by public sector workers. Many of you have been in

:22:03. > :22:06.touch, telling us what you think about the strike. Madeleine Ware

:22:06. > :22:10.has been collecting your views. People are really fired up about

:22:10. > :22:13.this, aren't they? Yes, from early this morning this has had people

:22:13. > :22:18.talking and arguing. On BBC radio phone-ins people were calling in

:22:18. > :22:27.their dozens to voice their opinion. Glyn Johnson from BBC Radio Bristol

:22:27. > :22:32.gave us a taste of what his listeners were saying. Many people

:22:32. > :22:37.are angry but the majority do have sympathy with the workers on strike.

:22:37. > :22:39.Be it in the teaching profession or further afield. Well this morning

:22:39. > :22:42.thousands of public sector workers marched through Bristol, many

:22:42. > :22:48.people stood to watch, some with children clearly off school for the

:22:48. > :22:57.day. And I asked some of the bystanders what they thought about

:22:57. > :23:00.the strike. We are in support of the teachers.

:23:00. > :23:04.We think they are wonderful and should get a fair deal. We can't

:23:04. > :23:10.keep carry -- carrying on bailing out banks and not doing anything

:23:10. > :23:13.for the economy. If they paid their share of taxes and the corporations

:23:13. > :23:17.pay their taxes, we could afford these public sector pensions and we

:23:17. > :23:22.could afford them for everybody. You think they're done the right

:23:22. > :23:24.thing? I do. Definitely opposed to do what they are doing. The

:23:24. > :23:30.negotiations haven't finished. At the end of the day the money is not

:23:30. > :23:34.there. They are getting a very good deal regardless. They just need to

:23:34. > :23:39.realise what the private sector realised years ago, if they don't

:23:39. > :23:41.like it, find another profession to work in. They are lucky to get what

:23:41. > :23:46.they get. They are getting it on top of the state pension. They have

:23:46. > :23:49.got to be real, the country is in crisis, people are going without

:23:49. > :23:55.care and treatment. It was wrong to strike when people are still

:23:55. > :24:00.talking to each other. It will harm their cause. On all sides. Because

:24:00. > :24:10.if they don't negotiate they will have to negotiate in the end. So

:24:10. > :24:10.

:24:10. > :24:20.why not -- why do this? Interesting to hear such strong views. We have

:24:20. > :24:32.

:24:32. > :24:35.Jill Milkins agrees. She says the government claims it can't afford

:24:35. > :24:38.it, yet we seem to have... But Tim Rees reckons the public sector

:24:38. > :24:41.workers need to get some reality. He thinks the protesters should get

:24:41. > :24:45.back to work and strike in the holidays next time instead of

:24:45. > :24:52.annoying hard working parents. And Michael Dearden says he's

:24:52. > :24:57.absolutely disgusted by the strikes. He believes public sector workers

:24:57. > :25:01.have had it too good for too long. Strong views there and they're just

:25:01. > :25:05.a few of the emails we've had - so a big thank you to everyone who got

:25:05. > :25:15.in touch. Thanks indeed. They have been mixed.

:25:15. > :25:15.

:25:15. > :25:21.It is time to go to the weather. A fine evening developing in

:25:21. > :25:26.Bristol. Earlier this week our editor scoffed at minus and that

:25:26. > :25:36.not all rain was reaching the ground. -- at my notion. Look at

:25:36. > :25:40.

:25:40. > :25:45.this picture. That is rain not reaching the ground, evaporating

:25:45. > :25:50.before it touches it. Tomorrow we will see a good deal of other types

:25:50. > :25:53.of cloud around. Generally cloudy by the afternoon. A dry day

:25:53. > :26:02.essentially for all of us. The pressure pattern shows how pressure

:26:02. > :26:07.from the south-west. The broad scale set-up is a settled, find one.

:26:07. > :26:09.-- fine of one. If we take a look at the detail in the West Country

:26:10. > :26:15.for the rest of the evening we have been shifting the cloud steadily

:26:15. > :26:25.out the way. Clearing skies overnight. Pretty much like last

:26:25. > :26:26.

:26:26. > :26:30.night a cold, chilly night. Urban areas are generally a bit warmer

:26:30. > :26:40.than rural areas. We will start once again with a good deal of blue

:26:40. > :26:45.

:26:45. > :26:53.sky. Steadily as the day wears on the cloud starts to grow. The best

:26:53. > :27:01.of the sunshine probably the west coast of Somerset. Temperatures

:27:01. > :27:05.from it on a par with today. Looking beyond that the weekend, I

:27:05. > :27:10.will not promise you by any means the sunshine we saw last Sunday. A

:27:10. > :27:16.lot of cloud around. Some brighter or sunny interludes. Saturday

:27:16. > :27:22.better than Sunday. Temperatures up to 22 degrees, good for the St

:27:22. > :27:30.Paul's carnival. He cannot complain, average British summer we can. --
