:00:29. > :00:34.Why did the CQC not do their job and investigate earlier? Why was it

:00:34. > :00:37.left so long, when somebody had clearly raised the alarm?

:00:37. > :00:43.A new defence role is announced for Lyneham after the RAF pull out

:00:43. > :00:48.leaving a hole in the economy. And. Tom, you're going to become my

:00:58. > :01:00.

:01:00. > :01:03.University, as Lord Sugar says, Good evening. A pensioner who spent

:01:03. > :01:06.the past decade caring for his disabled wife, has appeared in

:01:06. > :01:11.court accused of killing her. Malcolm Beardon, who is seventy

:01:11. > :01:14.nine, is tonight in a prison cell charged with murder.

:01:14. > :01:17.Neighbours in the Somerset town of Wellington have described the

:01:17. > :01:21.couple as devoted and say this is a tragedy which has shocked the

:01:21. > :01:24.entire community. Clinton Rogers has the story.

:01:24. > :01:29.This is 78-year-old Margaret Beardon, who in recent years had

:01:30. > :01:33.become disabled by dementia. This is where she lived with her husband

:01:33. > :01:37.Malcolm, who according to friends spent the last ten years as her

:01:37. > :01:42.full time carer. But on Friday, police were called here to find Mrs

:01:42. > :01:47.Beardon dead. And today her husband appeared in court charged with her

:01:48. > :01:52.murder. The hearing at Taunton Magistrates Court lasted just a few

:01:52. > :01:55.minutes. He was not required to enter a plea of either guilty or

:01:55. > :01:59.not guilty and was remanded in custody to appear at Exeter Crown

:01:59. > :02:08.Court on Wednesday. In Wellington this afternoon, neighbours reacted

:02:08. > :02:15.with shock and spoke of a devoted couple. Head believed that she

:02:15. > :02:23.suffered from dementia for many years. -- I believe. He had looked

:02:23. > :02:26.after our for all of that time. is very sad, because people showed

:02:26. > :02:30.dedication and look after their loved ones all these years, and

:02:30. > :02:34.then the pressure gets too much, and it appears that this is what

:02:34. > :02:38.happened. My thoughts go led to the family and anyone connected,

:02:38. > :02:41.because it is a very tragic time for everyone concerned. Tonight,

:02:42. > :02:44.the family issued a statement which read: "The past few days have been

:02:44. > :02:47.extremely stressful for all involved. We would ask that the

:02:47. > :02:51.media respect the privacy of the family while we provide care and

:02:51. > :02:57.support to our father who we love dearly". Mr Beardon is due to

:02:57. > :03:00.appear at Exeter Crown Court on Wednesday.

:03:00. > :03:05.Around 200 mourners attended the funeral today of Becky Godden

:03:05. > :03:08.Edwards in Swindon. Her remains were found in a shallow grave by

:03:08. > :03:10.police in Gloucestershire earlier this year. 47-year-old Christopher

:03:10. > :03:17.Halliwell, a taxi driver from Swindon, has been charged with her

:03:17. > :03:20.murder. Steve Knibbs reports. If there is anything to come from

:03:20. > :03:25.this tragedy so far, today was an important step for Becky Godden

:03:25. > :03:34.Edwards family. But it is, of course, the day they hoped they'd

:03:34. > :03:39.never see. I think this is the welcoming home and a farewell all-

:03:40. > :03:44.in-one for Becky. Her mother said she will never have a wedding, but

:03:44. > :03:50.she will have today, and this is their way to bring closure to all

:03:50. > :03:52.of this waiting. The congregation were told today that Becky was a

:03:52. > :03:59.bright, intelligent girl - reflected in the request for

:03:59. > :04:03.mourners to wear something pink. A family friend paid tribute to Becky

:04:03. > :04:08.saying that she remained a loving and kind daughter. She never forgot

:04:08. > :04:12.Mother's Day. She said to the congregation, that nobody should

:04:12. > :04:15.judge her because they do not know what is to come. But in her teens,

:04:15. > :04:17.she turned to drugs and became disconnected from her family. She

:04:18. > :04:20.eventually went missing. Despite extensive searches for her at the

:04:20. > :04:23.time, her fate was only discovered earlier this year. Police

:04:23. > :04:26.investigating the murder of Sian O' Callaghan from Swindon, found a set

:04:26. > :04:29.of human remains in a field at Eastleach in Gloucestershire. A

:04:29. > :04:38.match on the national DNA database confirmed it was Becky. Her parents

:04:38. > :04:40.were told the news on what would have been her 29th birthday.

:04:40. > :04:43.Christopher Halliwell, a Swindon taxi driver, has been charged with

:04:43. > :04:46.Becky's murder and that of Sian O Callghan. He's due in court later

:04:46. > :04:50.this month to enter pleas. Amongst the mourners today was Sian O'

:04:50. > :04:52.callaghan's grandmother - she told me she was here as a mark of

:04:52. > :04:55.solidarity between to the two families. After the service,

:04:55. > :04:58.Becky's family and close friends left for the crematorium. A chance

:04:58. > :05:08.for them to say a private goodbye to someone's who's passing has been

:05:08. > :05:10.

:05:10. > :05:13.very public. The future of the RAF base at

:05:13. > :05:16.Lyneham in Wiltshire has been secured. After years of uncertainty,

:05:16. > :05:23.the Defence Secretary, Liam Fox announced in the Commons this

:05:23. > :05:26.afternoon that the base still has a military future. The Defence

:05:26. > :05:31.technical training programme will move to Lyneham, guaranteeing its

:05:31. > :05:37.future. These details are in the written statement I have laid out

:05:37. > :05:40.today. The planning work, including the investment required, will now

:05:40. > :05:44.get under way based on strategic direction. It involves

:05:44. > :05:52.consultations with local community and statutory obligations that we

:05:52. > :05:55.need to fell. I am very aware of the changes this well cause for

:05:55. > :06:00.service personnel and their families. Let me assure them that

:06:00. > :06:03.these events will take place after 2015. In a moment we'll be getting

:06:03. > :06:05.reactions from people who live in Lyneham, but first we're joined

:06:05. > :06:15.from Westminster by James Gray, the Conservative MP for North Wiltshire

:06:15. > :06:15.

:06:16. > :06:24.- who has long campaigned to keep a military presence there. Defence

:06:24. > :06:29.technical training, what is this? This is about 1500 service people

:06:29. > :06:33.rising to 2,000 people, possibly more in the future, people that are

:06:33. > :06:37.training in their technical aspects of defence, that might be

:06:37. > :06:42.engineering, road-building, car maintenance, and electrics,

:06:42. > :06:46.information technology, those technical aspects of going to war

:06:46. > :06:50.need to be trained and highly qualified civilian trainees and

:06:50. > :06:54.trainers do this work. It is spread around England at the moment, the

:06:54. > :07:00.idea is to have a centre of excellence at RAF Lyneham.

:07:00. > :07:06.Thousands of people have left Lyneham, how close is this to what

:07:06. > :07:09.she wanted? It is brilliant news for the whole area. We will have

:07:09. > :07:14.opted to 1,000 servers people and a few hundred trainers and educators

:07:14. > :07:17.and technicians, all of them moving to the area, the school, the pubs

:07:17. > :07:23.everything will have the business that they are losing it because the

:07:24. > :07:27.RAF relieving, we will see a revival in the economy of the area.

:07:27. > :07:31.There will be investment, hundreds of millions of pounds of investment

:07:31. > :07:36.in it, the area would benefit from it and we said a sad goodbye to the

:07:36. > :07:42.RAF a few weeks ago, but now we can look forward to the army moving in

:07:42. > :07:46.as soon as 2013. I was going to ask about the timescale, because Liam

:07:46. > :07:51.Fox mentioned 2015, you said it would be reasonably swift and you

:07:51. > :07:57.mentioned 2013, so what you think we are looking at? They wanted as

:07:57. > :08:00.soon as possible, because two bases in Hampshire that they are leaving,

:08:00. > :08:05.they it is high quality building land, and they want to get the cash

:08:05. > :08:10.from that. -- that is high quality. There is a lot of work to be done

:08:10. > :08:15.on the base, it is tired after 50 years of the RAF there, so

:08:15. > :08:20.hopefully there will be local jobs doing that work. From 2013 on words,

:08:20. > :08:25.the military will start to move them, and by 2014, it should be

:08:25. > :08:29.completed, so a new college. It boils down to being a technical

:08:29. > :08:35.college for the armed services, going a fully by 2014. Thank you

:08:35. > :08:40.for making it a bit clearer for us. A day they too were delighted about.

:08:40. > :08:44.Many years of campaigning by a local people.

:08:44. > :08:47.Well for people who live in Lyneham, the future of the airbase is a

:08:47. > :08:50.hugely important issue. So what do they make of today's announcement?

:08:50. > :08:55.Our Wiltshire reporter, Scott Ellis is at the Mallard Pub there for us

:08:55. > :09:00.now. They have waited many years for

:09:00. > :09:05.this decision, so let's find out what they think on the grand jury

:09:05. > :09:08.of Lynam, the local councillor, Alison, what you think? It was a

:09:08. > :09:14.very well-kept secret, we are delighted with the news. Thank you

:09:14. > :09:19.to him for the campaign that he has run. That allows for the community.

:09:19. > :09:25.And the parish council, are you 100 % have the or cautious? We are

:09:25. > :09:29.happy with the announcement, we are a bit cautious, the Devil has

:09:29. > :09:34.always in the detail. It is not that it will absolutely happen. You

:09:34. > :09:41.had plans for racing car, but none of the base will be sold off now,

:09:41. > :09:44.what you think? -- plans for a theme park. This was always plan B.

:09:44. > :09:49.We want to safeguard the area if there was no military involvement,

:09:49. > :09:53.now, the military business were blown back here, so business will

:09:53. > :09:59.boom as well. We lost about 20 % of our business with the RAF leaving,

:09:59. > :10:05.I think we will get that back now. You're doing your last shift in RAF

:10:05. > :10:10.Lyneham tonight. Yes, last shift, hopefully it will be a positive

:10:10. > :10:15.move. What you think people outside Lyneham will think about this new

:10:15. > :10:20.defence training package coming? is very positive. It is very

:10:20. > :10:25.positive for the village, business and everything. We have had calls

:10:25. > :10:29.from Australia saying congratulations. We have to talk to

:10:30. > :10:33.their landlord, he has noticed business is tailing off, just

:10:33. > :10:37.finally, are you pleased to see that there will be 1500 soldiers

:10:37. > :10:41.moving here eventually? If very, very pleased, it would be great for

:10:41. > :10:49.the village. We could do with an uplift after the last six or seven

:10:49. > :10:52.months. Thank you all very much for talking to us. The Hercules is

:10:52. > :11:00.sadly missed and it will be a tough act to follow. A thumbs-up for the

:11:00. > :11:03.new defence training package. Thank you.

:11:03. > :11:05.You're watching BBC Points West with Alex and David - and you're

:11:05. > :11:09.most welcome. Coming up on tonight's programme:

:11:09. > :11:18.Hoping for a sprint finish. We meet the Bath athlete with his eyes on

:11:18. > :11:21.the prize at London 2012. The body of a Bristol man has been

:11:21. > :11:24.found at the side of a road in Wales. The 27-year-old, who hasn't

:11:24. > :11:30.been identified, was discovered on a road near Pontllanfraith in

:11:30. > :11:32.Caerphilly, early on Sunday morning. The Police are examining CCTV

:11:32. > :11:38.footage and conducting house-to- house inquiries to find out what

:11:38. > :11:43.happened to him. His next of kin are being informed.

:11:43. > :11:46.One of Bath's biggest employers is laying off a tenth of its workforce.

:11:46. > :11:50.Future Publishing produces over 80 magazines, on everything from

:11:50. > :11:54.guitars to knitting. A thousand staff work at its offices in the

:11:54. > :11:56.city, but now 100 jobs have been cut. Sales of print magazines have

:11:56. > :12:03.declined recently, especially in America, but the company's websites

:12:03. > :12:07.are doing much better. "A systemic failure to protect the

:12:07. > :12:10.vulnerable or investigate allegations of abuse". That's the

:12:10. > :12:13.conclusion of a damning report into a private hospital near Bristol -

:12:13. > :12:18.for people with learning difficulties. Winterbourne View has

:12:18. > :12:20.since closed down and a total of 12 people have been arrested. Today,

:12:21. > :12:26.the government regulator, the Care Quality Commission, released its

:12:26. > :12:36.report into the hospital. Dickon Hooper has been reading through it

:12:36. > :12:39.

:12:39. > :12:48.and joins me now. Does this report give you any

:12:48. > :12:52.conferred? At this point no. Annie confer to?

:12:52. > :12:55.Ann has more reason than most to want to see this report. This is

:12:55. > :12:58.her son Simon in care at Winterbourne View. Today, we met up

:12:58. > :13:01.with Ann again as the government watchdog released its repo rt into

:13:01. > :13:04.what it found here after the BBC had gone in undercover. It talks

:13:04. > :13:07.about a systemic failure to protect people or investigate abuse. A

:13:07. > :13:14.failure to protect patients from risk and that staff did not

:13:14. > :13:21.understand the needs of people in their care People like Simon.

:13:21. > :13:28.quite shocked. It seems to me they had managed to put the blame on

:13:28. > :13:30.everybody and white wash themselves. I feel very strongly that all of

:13:30. > :13:34.the agencies were to blame. Everybody must carry their portion

:13:34. > :13:41.of blame. Winterbourne View is now boarded up and closed down. It was

:13:41. > :13:45.run by Castlebeck. All their hospitals have been reviewed by the

:13:45. > :13:50.government watchdog. And today they accepted what the CQC had to say.

:13:50. > :13:55.It is apparent there were failings, and having looked at it in details,

:13:55. > :13:59.we can see that there are a number of issues that we should have seen

:13:59. > :14:02.earlier answer to picked up earlier as clearly did not. Cold comfort

:14:02. > :14:07.for the man who blew the whistle on this. Although Castlebeck have

:14:07. > :14:11.tightened up their Winterbourne View policy, he's calling for more.

:14:11. > :14:16.An independent public inquiry is the only way to get the information

:14:16. > :14:21.together and see the full picture and move on a bit. I would like to

:14:21. > :14:24.see policy changed in these places. Asian not exist. If that happens,

:14:24. > :14:27.this is the big victory. But all the inquries and reports won't

:14:27. > :14:35.change what happened, leaving parents like Ann with unanswered

:14:35. > :14:40.questions for the agencies that failed to protect her son. Why did

:14:40. > :14:45.beseech you see not do their job and investigate earlier? -- y de

:14:45. > :14:49.Care Quality Commission at do their job? Why he didn't not do anything

:14:49. > :14:52.when the alarm was raised. Well, Ian Biggs from the CQC joins

:14:52. > :14:58.me live in the studio to answer those questions. Why did you not

:14:58. > :15:02.intervene sooner? The report this morning is one that tries to lay

:15:02. > :15:06.out the underlying facts associated with the failings. We acknowledge

:15:06. > :15:12.that when we were contacted, we did not respond as quickly as we could

:15:12. > :15:17.have, and he has also acknowledged that the kind of emerged that the

:15:17. > :15:21.programme showed us was a shock to him as anybody else. -- the kind of

:15:21. > :15:27.image. We inspected at the following day and caught them very

:15:27. > :15:31.quickly. In the report, you put all of the blame on the management for

:15:31. > :15:35.what went wrong, but he also blamed them for not telling you that

:15:35. > :15:39.things were going wrong, but that is your job to find out. As they

:15:39. > :15:43.register provider, they have a legal responsibility to inform us

:15:44. > :15:48.when things go wrong, but of course, the whole some responsibility as

:15:48. > :15:51.well for not reacting as quickly as we should. You cannot expect them

:15:51. > :15:54.to tell you when things are going wrong, if that is a ridiculous

:15:54. > :16:01.thing to trust them to put their hand up and say we're doing a

:16:01. > :16:04.terrible job here. Not all providers will be a been that way.

:16:04. > :16:09.Most providers behave themselves well and understand their

:16:09. > :16:14.responsibilities, but word that doesn't happen, we need to redouble

:16:14. > :16:18.efforts to uncover these activities and act quickly. Can you give any

:16:18. > :16:23.reassurance to residents of other hospitals run by this company?

:16:23. > :16:26.have carried out inspections by other services in this company, and

:16:26. > :16:30.his inspectors had been completed and we are now deciding what action

:16:30. > :16:35.to take, if we need to take any further action, and there were

:16:35. > :16:38.published this in a few weeks' time. OK. Thank you. A

:16:38. > :16:41.A psychologist treating the Bristol businessman, accused of murdering

:16:41. > :16:44.his wife, has told his extradition hearing, that he is unfit to travel

:16:44. > :16:48.to South Africa. The authorities there want Shrien Dewani to stand

:16:48. > :16:50.trial for ordering his wife Anni to be shot dead on their honeymoon. Mr

:16:50. > :16:59.Dewani denies the accusations and is fighting extradition. John

:16:59. > :17:05.Maguire reports from Woolwich Crown Court.

:17:05. > :17:08.IVAs, sometimes close and walking slowly, Shrien Dewani or ride in

:17:08. > :17:13.court this morning escorted by family and staff from the Mental

:17:13. > :17:19.Health Unit in Bristol where he is receiving treatment. -- Shrien

:17:19. > :17:24.Dewani arrived in court. It took just a few minutes for him to leave

:17:24. > :17:27.the court and returned to Bristol into care. He's been treated with

:17:27. > :17:34.post-traumatic stress disorder after the murder of his wife in

:17:34. > :17:39.Africa last year. His barristers said it would be inhumane to keep

:17:39. > :17:42.him here and that he was very frail. The judge said that he was

:17:42. > :17:47.persuaded by medical advice that by forcing it Shrien Dewani to attend

:17:47. > :17:51.court and sit through the hearings, it would significantly worse than

:17:51. > :17:57.his condition. The court was told he suffers with two conditions,

:17:57. > :18:01.severe depression and severe post- traumatic stress disorder. Here at

:18:01. > :18:06.the secure mental health unit, he is checked every half an hour. His

:18:06. > :18:10.doctor, a consultant psychologist, said that Shrien Dewani could not

:18:10. > :18:15.take anti-depressant medication due to a medical condition, so his

:18:15. > :18:19.therapy is based around talking and it is impossible to say when he

:18:19. > :18:24.could be cured. He testified that being sent to South Africa to face

:18:24. > :18:28.trial would make his bow as much worse and would increase his risk

:18:28. > :18:35.of killing himself. -- would make his film as much worse. All of the

:18:35. > :18:39.evidence was listened to intently by the family is sitting just feet

:18:39. > :18:45.apart but hoping for a very different outcome to this

:18:45. > :18:50.extradition hearing. Now sport, and time to meet another

:18:50. > :18:53.of our athletes aiming to make a big impact at London 2012. Today

:18:53. > :18:59.it's a sprinter from Bath, who is one of our brightest hopes for a

:18:59. > :19:01.medal at the Paralympics. Ben Rushgrove was born with

:19:01. > :19:05.cerebral palsy, but has become one of the country's top sprinters,

:19:05. > :19:14.winning silver at the last games in Beijing. And as Alistair Durden

:19:14. > :19:19.reports, this time next year he's aiming to go one better. I like the

:19:19. > :19:22.idea that I am trying to see how good I can beat, to see how Farrer

:19:22. > :19:25.can push my body, where the limits are.

:19:25. > :19:28.It's an attitude that's taken Ben Rushgrove to the top of his sport.

:19:28. > :19:37.His battle to overcome cerebral palsy and hearing problems is now

:19:37. > :19:44.an inspiration to others. Sport has given me that platform to allow me

:19:44. > :19:48.to try and change people's attitudes and prove that disabled

:19:48. > :19:52.people are not people that should be told to shut up and they're no

:19:52. > :19:55.use to society. Ben is 23, and was born and brought up in Bath. He

:20:00. > :20:06.Ben - a family BBQ reveals the other love of his life. Food is my

:20:06. > :20:09.number two passion. I don't care who cooks at, but I do like food!

:20:09. > :20:16.He's the oldest of three children and family support has been

:20:16. > :20:19.important to him. If you didn't know him, he would not know that he

:20:19. > :20:24.was disabled, so a lot of that time, you wouldn't even know he was an

:20:24. > :20:30.athlete! Every so often for 10 seconds of the year, he makes magic

:20:30. > :20:34.happen. It is very special. Beijing was the first time that I really

:20:34. > :20:39.saw him run. That was my brother, that was on the same track as Usain

:20:39. > :20:45.Bolt. That was pretty special. silver medal was something of a

:20:45. > :20:50.miracle. Ben finished second, despite having a broken foot.

:20:50. > :20:53.was ridiculously difficult. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody

:20:53. > :20:57.else. But having said all of that, I wouldn't change what I did for

:20:57. > :21:02.the world. I had one opportunity to really go for it and make the most

:21:02. > :21:05.of it, and you just never know. You do not know when you'll get an

:21:05. > :21:15.opportunity like that again. Ben's house if full of career memorabilia

:21:15. > :21:15.

:21:15. > :21:24.- some in usual places. We did this come from? I might have stolen it!

:21:24. > :21:28.And might have stolen it from the BBC! You have got all of you

:21:28. > :21:34.Paralympic towels and unbelievably, this is for you keep your world

:21:34. > :21:38.record Certificate! It is just a joke gets back like everything

:21:38. > :21:44.else! Somewhere to put it! London could bring more souvenirs. But he

:21:44. > :21:48.may have to break that World record again. He will win more than one

:21:49. > :21:54.medal at the London Paralympics, I am that confident. I will not tell

:21:54. > :22:02.you what collared the medal will be, but he will win two medals at the

:22:02. > :22:07.Paralympics in London. Faith that seems entirely justified.

:22:07. > :22:12.We look forward to reporting his success in 2012. If I had any

:22:12. > :22:16.awards, I would put them in the bathroom, but I haven't got any!

:22:16. > :22:20.For a bathroom! Bless! I don't know how you manage!

:22:20. > :22:25.He puts his hand up when he wants to talk and he's been known to nod

:22:25. > :22:27.a fair amount and to get just a little bit flustered.

:22:27. > :22:31.He is, of course, Tom Pellereau, winner of The Apprentice. The

:22:31. > :22:34.secret of his success? Well he puts it all down to everything he learnt

:22:34. > :22:39.on his degree course at the University of Bath. Here's Jules

:22:39. > :22:49.Hyam. Well this was the grand final grand

:22:49. > :22:53.

:22:53. > :22:59.finale. There's Helen. There's our Tom. Tom, you would become my

:22:59. > :23:03.business partner, you are hired. Tom wins. And what a popular winner.

:23:03. > :23:06.The self confessed nerd - all round nice guy - and the politest man on

:23:06. > :23:16.TV. He is everything you'd expect from someone who studied here in

:23:16. > :23:17.

:23:17. > :23:23.the west. He is very much like what he came across on the TV programme,

:23:23. > :23:27.he is self-effacing, very clear thinking. I think it is the self-

:23:27. > :23:32.effacing attitude that really comes across strongly. He is not arrogant.

:23:32. > :23:42.He is not a salesperson. He is what he is. And what he is - is Alan

:23:42. > :23:43.

:23:43. > :23:47.Sugar's new business partner. That is despite not winning all of the

:23:47. > :23:53.tasks, and at being pursued. Sulphur face of, creative and a

:23:53. > :23:57.nice guy. They ate the sum him up. But here at the University of Bath,

:23:57. > :24:00.he would have learnt about different issues, like defensible

:24:00. > :24:05.space, hierarchy of needs, principles of design that would

:24:05. > :24:12.have stood him in very good stead. Maybe there is some legs in

:24:12. > :24:15.offering a chair. We are delighted for Tom that he has got this

:24:15. > :24:20.product design business plan and it is all about what makes up the mix

:24:20. > :24:26.of subjects that we do here. We gave him the scope to extend his

:24:26. > :24:30.experience and knowledge in creativity in the design context,

:24:30. > :24:36.so we are delighted that we gave him a start on his road to success.

:24:36. > :24:46.The winner of the apprentice, 2011, Tom!

:24:46. > :24:47.

:24:47. > :24:51.They should be proud of him. The house lovely, adorable.

:24:51. > :25:01.He invented a nail file, you're sort of guy, really!

:25:01. > :25:05.

:25:05. > :25:11.Not sure people were happy with the weekend weather. I was at Ashton

:25:11. > :25:16.Court yesterday and it was very changeable. Tomorrow, so mixed

:25:16. > :25:20.fortunes. A good deal of dry weather. A chance of some sunshine

:25:20. > :25:27.for some people during tomorrow. At low pressure in the North Sea has

:25:27. > :25:31.been the dominating part through the weekend. The pressure started

:25:31. > :25:38.to rise slowly. Tomorrow, and North westerly flow with a distribution

:25:38. > :25:45.of shares that is changing. The rainfall radar and the last few

:25:45. > :25:49.days, it shows how much rain has crossed to the east. In Wiltshire,

:25:49. > :25:57.some more showers and following into West Somerset. For the rest of

:25:57. > :26:02.the evening, many parts will dry out. A few showers following behind.

:26:02. > :26:10.The wind, being lighter overnight. Some cloud and under these

:26:10. > :26:13.conditions, 10 or 11 degrees. Tomorrow, the wind will move around

:26:13. > :26:18.to the north-west meaning there will be some districts that will

:26:19. > :26:24.see a good deal of dry weather. Some brighter spells developing,

:26:24. > :26:28.particularly in the south-east. Some showers in West Somerset,

:26:28. > :26:33.particularly in parts of Gloucestershire. Some moderately

:26:33. > :26:40.heavy at times. By the evening, should be dry for most of us. Sunny

:26:40. > :26:45.spots with temperatures reaching maybe 20 degrees Celsius. There are

:26:45. > :26:50.changes under way as we get to the weekend. Gradually, high-pressure

:26:50. > :26:53.is trying to move its way to the south-west of the British Isles.

:26:53. > :26:57.Before that happens, some complications on the way, so there

:26:57. > :27:01.will be some showers about, but less and less with each day and by

:27:01. > :27:06.the time we reach Friday and the weekend, we should see a different

:27:07. > :27:11.weekend to what we had just had. Temperatures around 18, 19 degrees

:27:11. > :27:17.through Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, the chance of one or two showers.

:27:17. > :27:20.By Friday, Saturday, Sunday, it should be dry, brighter and some

:27:20. > :27:26.improvement into the last week of July at least.

:27:26. > :27:32.Thank you. If you did to miss any of the

:27:32. > :27:34.highlights of the Air tattoo at RAF Fairford, go on to the BBC website

:27:35. > :27:38.and you can see the highlights. They were wonderful if you couldn't
