:00:10. > :00:14.Good evening and welcome to Points West. The headlines tonight:
:00:14. > :00:18.It has a website but no students. The University of Glastonbury turns
:00:18. > :00:22.out to be just a scam. Campaigners call for a limit to
:00:22. > :00:26.house-building in the country. Britain's top cyclists will head to
:00:26. > :00:36.Somerset for what could by the last time.
:00:36. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:42.And the rubbish dump that's been It says it wants to be a world
:00:42. > :00:49.leader of universities with an alumni network that stretches
:00:49. > :00:52.across 120 countries. The only problem for Glastonbury University
:00:52. > :00:59.is that it doesn't really exist, and its glossy website is little
:00:59. > :01:02.more than a scam. Here's Jules Hyam. It is every inch the polished
:01:02. > :01:06.online brochure. This website outlines the course offerings and
:01:06. > :01:09.academic achievements of Glastonbury University. It boasts
:01:09. > :01:14.of its 500 students in the school of the built environment and of its
:01:14. > :01:17.five-star rating for engineering. It certainly looks the part and it
:01:17. > :01:27.makes Glastonbury University look like the ideal place to study in
:01:27. > :01:29.
:01:29. > :01:33.the UK. But in Glastonbury, things look
:01:33. > :01:37.very different. This is a small market town. Yes, it does have an
:01:37. > :01:41.enormous amount of history, but it has never had a university, and
:01:41. > :01:43.that big glass building, that is just not here.
:01:44. > :01:46.It is in fact 150 miles away, because this isn't the main
:01:46. > :01:49.building of Glastonbury University - it's the library building at the
:01:49. > :01:53.University of Leicester. Staff there had no idea their library was
:01:53. > :01:56.being used as a double for a fictitious university. They told
:01:56. > :01:59.us: The University of Leicester has no association with the Glastonbury
:01:59. > :02:02.University, that they regard breach of copyright and misuse of their
:02:02. > :02:12.property as very serious offences, which they have reported to
:02:12. > :02:13.
:02:13. > :02:19.The website does list an address for Glastonbutry University so we
:02:19. > :02:22.went there. No one is answering on the phone
:02:22. > :02:29.number listed on the website and this is the address that it gives,
:02:29. > :02:33.clearly not a university. checked the UK board Registry
:02:33. > :02:36.website and they had an -- an agreement that invested and
:02:36. > :02:39.colleges can recruit internationally. Glastonbury
:02:39. > :02:45.University does not exist and staff at Somerset County council were
:02:45. > :02:48.surprised to learn that the website credits them with setting it up.
:02:48. > :02:51.Their trading standards team have looked into it and passed details
:02:51. > :02:55.on to the Department of Education and they think the website is
:02:55. > :03:02.targeting foreign students who want visas. The Home Office is also
:03:02. > :03:05.aware of the site -and they too are investigating.
:03:05. > :03:11.And Jules joins us in the studio now to explain how this scam might
:03:11. > :03:16.work. How might this down work? have been wandering that for most
:03:16. > :03:22.of the day. It is unusual because there is no direct appeal for money,
:03:22. > :03:26.no bank account details listed. We saw in the film, there is no one
:03:26. > :03:29.there. It is probably around something slightly more subtle.
:03:29. > :03:33.Somerset County Council says it is a round student visas.
:03:33. > :03:38.Interestingly, you do not have to have a visa to study in the UK, but
:03:39. > :03:43.you do need evidence that you on a course at an accredited university.
:03:43. > :03:48.The agency has a list of the government approved outfits that to
:03:48. > :03:51.provide courses and that they are not made up. Even if you arrived
:03:51. > :03:55.with some documentation from dust and the ring of us do, that would
:03:55. > :04:02.not get you into the country because it is not on the list. --

:04:13. > :04:23.reality they would not get in. Thank you very much, a fascinating
:04:23. > :04:26.
:04:26. > :04:29.Campaigners gathered in Wiltshire today to protest about plans to
:04:29. > :04:32.build thousands of new homes in the county. They want to protect the
:04:32. > :04:35.countryside, but with rural housing in short supply, all our local
:04:35. > :04:37.councils are facing the same dilemma - how to build enough homes
:04:37. > :04:41.without losing fields. Alice Bouverie was at the meeting earlier,
:04:41. > :04:45.and joins us now from Trowbridge. You join me on the very outskirts.
:04:45. > :04:49.These houses of the last ones before building starts. They have
:04:49. > :04:53.been here for seven years, but because of the draft strategy drawn
:04:53. > :04:57.up by the council, these fields may well soon be business parks and
:04:57. > :05:01.some of the 37,000 homes that the council wants to build over the
:05:01. > :05:05.next 15 years. It is not just here where this is happening: Local
:05:05. > :05:09.authorities across the West are drawing up their visions of what
:05:09. > :05:14.their place will look like over the next 15 years. Bath and North-East
:05:14. > :05:21.Somerset want to build 11,000 homes. In Taunton, it could be about
:05:21. > :05:25.17,000 homes. In Bristol, 13,000 homes. -- 30,000 homes. In
:05:25. > :05:29.Wiltshire, the council said not to panic because half of those homes
:05:29. > :05:32.have already been built, but that has not stopped 25 community groups
:05:32. > :05:36.coming together and sending in an open letter to the council. They
:05:36. > :05:41.said it was not fit for purpose and they want the council to think
:05:42. > :05:46.again. I am one of the first people to say that we should not build on
:05:46. > :05:50.green land. It should be left free. But we have a lot of young people
:05:50. > :05:54.wanting houses, a lot of elderly people living longer who want
:05:54. > :05:59.houses and we want businesses who want skilled workers. The fact is,
:05:59. > :06:03.we have the evidence that we will need, by 2026, an increase in the
:06:03. > :06:06.number of houses. We have cut the figure enormously from what the
:06:06. > :06:12.government originally imposed on us and we have come to what I believe
:06:12. > :06:18.is a reasonable solution. Not everybody believes that is a
:06:18. > :06:28.reasonable solution. With me is the chairman of the CPRE in Wiltshire.
:06:28. > :06:29.
:06:29. > :06:32.Isn't this just another example of...? In Wiltshire, an awful lot
:06:32. > :06:37.of planning permission is committed to development which can take place
:06:37. > :06:43.without additional land being allocated. Where could those houses
:06:43. > :06:50.be built? There is a fair amount to be built here in Trowbridge alone.
:06:50. > :06:54.There is no need to quote additional figures in Trowbridge at
:06:54. > :06:58.the present time. The Countryside Alliance said last week that many
:06:58. > :07:03.rural communities would wither and die unless new housing would be
:07:03. > :07:08.built. Surely this will be good? Well, there is no reason why they
:07:08. > :07:12.should not be small developments in rural areas. In fact, one of the
:07:12. > :07:16.provisions in the core strategy is to prevent some development in the
:07:16. > :07:21.smaller villages. That is wrong. There ought to be an opportunity
:07:21. > :07:25.for additional development in the small villages. How hopeful are you
:07:25. > :07:29.that the council will listen? only say that I am optimistic.
:07:29. > :07:39.is a debate which is happening across the West. As you can see,
:07:39. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:45.there are very different and A woman has been left with what are
:07:46. > :07:49.described as life-changing injuries after a crash in Bath early this
:07:49. > :07:52.morning. The 23-year-old was hit by a lorry on Grand Parade and was
:07:52. > :07:55.later taken to hospital. The police are appealing for witnesses to the
:07:55. > :07:58.crash, which happened during rush hour.
:07:58. > :08:00.You're watching BBC Points West. Still to come between now and
:08:00. > :08:02.seven: Howzat - Somerset book a place in
:08:02. > :08:06.the finals for the third year in a row.
:08:06. > :08:16.And this house in Wiltshire was hit by lightning. Ian's here to explain
:08:16. > :08:19.
:08:19. > :08:22.and give us a full forecast for the People with diabetes here in the
:08:22. > :08:24.west have become the first in the country to benefit from advice from
:08:24. > :08:27.fellow sufferers. Under a new programme, 'Peer Advisers' have
:08:27. > :08:37.been trained to give help to newly- diagnosed patients in Weston-super-

:08:43. > :08:48.I came in the hospital with an angina attack and I was put on a
:08:48. > :08:53.starvation diet and they discovered I had got diabetes. Prop Brett
:08:53. > :08:57.Harris has been living with diabetes for the past few years. --
:08:57. > :09:03.Barbara Harris. She has learnt a lot about her condition through
:09:03. > :09:08.evening classes run by the hospital. They are designed to allow
:09:08. > :09:12.sufferers to pass on expert advice to those beginning to discover
:09:12. > :09:17.their condition. When people come to our grip and talk about issues,
:09:17. > :09:23.it gives you the confidence to be able to say, give them better
:09:23. > :09:26.advice. The idea will mean that hospital specialists can
:09:26. > :09:32.concentrate on patients who need their expertise the most. But could
:09:33. > :09:37.there be a danger in having laid people giving wrong medical advice?
:09:37. > :09:42.They have to be very careful that there is no conviction with the
:09:42. > :09:47.medical profession. They give very simple, basic advice, and also,
:09:47. > :09:52.they get opinions from the doctors and nurses. The most important part
:09:52. > :09:55.of the course is about what patients eat. Dietary advice is
:09:55. > :10:03.vital when it comes to making sure levels of sugar in the blood remain
:10:03. > :10:07.healthy. A new study by the University of Bristol of almost 600
:10:07. > :10:11.type 2 diabetes sufferers found that the group that were given 6.5
:10:11. > :10:16.hours of dietary advice at the start of their diagnosis had much
:10:16. > :10:22.better blood sugar levels after six months compared with the other
:10:22. > :10:27.group who received no advice. the latest figures showing a high -
:10:27. > :10:32.- a 5% rise in patients with type 2 diabetes in the past year, it means
:10:32. > :10:42.that other hospitals will have to fall this model if they are to cope
:10:42. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:45.with demand. A jury's considering its verdict in
:10:45. > :10:48.the trial of a former soldier from Wiltshire who's accused of
:10:48. > :10:50.kidnapping and raping women in Chippenham and South Wales. Ex-
:10:50. > :10:53.lance corporal Jonathon Haynes from Saxon Close in Northampton denies
:10:53. > :10:57.the charges at Bristol Crown court. Scott Ellis is there tonight for us
:10:57. > :11:01.with an update. Plans to invest �3 million to build
:11:01. > :11:03.a hostel for the homeless in Bath have been abandoned by the Council.
:11:03. > :11:06.Bath and North East Somerset councillors have decided against
:11:06. > :11:09.spending the money, at a time when cuts are being made elsewhere. They
:11:09. > :11:11.say they're investigating other ways to meet demand to cater for
:11:11. > :11:13.rough sleepers. The number of people asking for
:11:13. > :11:17.help from a West foodbank has increased this year. Gloucester
:11:17. > :11:20.Food Bank has reported a 10% rise in adults and a 17% increase in the
:11:20. > :11:23.number of children needing food, compared with last year. The
:11:23. > :11:28.charity says it's had to use reserve supplies of food to meet
:11:28. > :11:31.demand. New classrooms have been put in at
:11:31. > :11:34.Gloucester Academy today. The buildings will serve as extra
:11:34. > :11:38.capacity when the school moves to one site on Cotteswold Road from
:11:38. > :11:42.September, two years ahead of schedule. The government has given
:11:42. > :11:49.the school more than �15 million to build on the new site, and it
:11:49. > :11:52.should all be ready by 2013. Nuclear safety has been under the
:11:52. > :11:55.spotlight today with the visit of independent inspectors to Somerset.
:11:55. > :12:00.A panel of experts from the office for nuclear regulation toured the
:12:00. > :12:03.county as a preferred location for a new nuclear power station.
:12:03. > :12:08.They'll decide whether Hinkley Point gets a licence or not. Dickon
:12:08. > :12:13.Hooper has more. There's been a nuclear power
:12:13. > :12:15.station here at Hinkley Point for decades. And with a coalition
:12:15. > :12:21.government committed to nuclear, it's on the list to host another
:12:22. > :12:31.one. Protests though have been held, and there'll no doubt be more - the
:12:31. > :12:35.deadline to open is 2025. Today, though, safety was on the agenda.
:12:35. > :12:42.The office for nuclear regulation paid Somerset a visit. They have to
:12:42. > :12:49.sign off the building and the operation of the new plant. All we
:12:49. > :12:55.are looking for is to see whether or not the company is capable and
:12:55. > :13:01.competent in terms of their ability to own and operate a plant, and
:13:01. > :13:05.that takes there is phases. We will be looking at whether they have the
:13:05. > :13:09.right people in the right place to discharge those responsibilities
:13:09. > :13:11.and meet the requirements of UK regulations. The government argues
:13:11. > :13:14.nuclear is needed for energy security. Those living nearby
:13:14. > :13:21.disagree, but lost a recent battle to stop preparatory work on the
:13:21. > :13:23.plant getting council approval. Today's visit was another step in
:13:24. > :13:33.this process The next is public consultations being planned by the
:13:34. > :13:35.
:13:35. > :13:38.Sport, and Somerset's cricketers look like providing us with another
:13:38. > :13:48.exciting end to the season. They're through to the Twenty20 Cup semi-
:13:48. > :13:51.finals yet again. Here's Alistair. They must be so used to getting to
:13:51. > :13:54.this stage! This is the third year in a row
:13:54. > :13:58.Somerset have made it to what's called Finals Day - both the semi
:13:58. > :14:01.and the final played on the same day at the same ground. This year
:14:01. > :14:04.it's Edgbaston in Birmingham on August 27th. Somerset's allocation
:14:04. > :14:09.of tickets go on sale tomorrow, but if you're interested don't hang
:14:09. > :14:13.about because they're aren't many available.
:14:14. > :14:16.On a roll, and favourites to go all the way. The win over
:14:16. > :14:21.Nottinghamshire means Somerset haven't lost now in their last 11
:14:21. > :14:30.matches. Success on the field is good news off it. After rain played
:14:31. > :14:36.havoc with their Twenty20 group matches. It has been a tough season
:14:36. > :14:40.financially. We have had four washed out matters and that has a
:14:40. > :14:45.tremendous impact on the club. Finals day is a real bonus for up -
:14:45. > :14:49.- for us. We want to be there in the final and winning trophies.
:14:49. > :14:52.bad news for fans is the small allocation - only 1400 tickets, for
:14:52. > :14:55.a membership that far exceeds that. The club will get a share of the
:14:55. > :14:59.gate receipts, but the players get the prize money. The Somerset squad
:14:59. > :15:03.will share out �120,000 between them if they win. And they're
:15:03. > :15:07.hitting form at the right time. Key men like bowler Alfonso Thomas are
:15:07. > :15:13.back from injury. Twenty20 specialist Keiron Pollard flew back
:15:13. > :15:16.to the Caribbean today - his job done. The overseas signing put in a
:15:16. > :15:23.man of the match display, and will be back in a fortnight's time for
:15:23. > :15:26.finals day. The rest of the squad have a week off, but while they put
:15:26. > :15:31.their feet up, supporters will begin the scramble to get a ticket
:15:31. > :15:34.to watch them. There's no respite now the football
:15:34. > :15:36.season is underway, with a West Country derby to look forward to
:15:37. > :15:42.tomorrow in the Carling Cup. Bristol City and Swindon face each
:15:42. > :15:46.other, having had contrasting results at the weekend. City going
:15:46. > :15:49.down 3-0 at home to Ipswich, while Paolo Di Canio started with a
:15:49. > :15:52.comfortable win over Crewe - and how about this for a goal - he'd
:15:52. > :15:59.have been proud of that himself. Well, we'll be live at Ashton Gate
:15:59. > :16:02.tomorrow night to preview that first round cup tie. And don't
:16:02. > :16:05.forget you can see all the goals from the opening day of the season
:16:06. > :16:14.on the iPlayer, or on the sports pages of the BBC website, including
:16:14. > :16:17.a debut win for Paul Buckle as manager at Bristol Rovers.
:16:17. > :16:20.For the last five years the Tour of Britain has brought the world's top
:16:20. > :16:25.cyclists to Somerset. This September competitors will race
:16:25. > :16:28.between Taunton and Wells for the sixth stage. But despite generating
:16:28. > :16:34.millions of pounds for the local economy, there's no guarantee it'll
:16:34. > :16:37.return to the county as Laura Lyon reports.
:16:37. > :16:41.Gearing up gently for the Tour of Britain when 96 cyclists race to
:16:41. > :16:51.the stage six finish line in Wells next month, they're likely to be
:16:51. > :16:51.
:16:51. > :16:54.going all out in a sprint finish. The frame is made from carbon fibre.
:16:54. > :16:57.Simon Richardson is from Bristol and has twice finished the 1100 km
:16:57. > :17:03.race inside the Top 20. He thinks the winner of this year's Somerset
:17:03. > :17:09.stage could go on to take the overall title. With Cheddar gorge,
:17:09. > :17:13.and particularly the last climb of the day in all Bristol, it could
:17:13. > :17:19.actually potentially decide the race because it is the last major
:17:19. > :17:25.Hill of the whole event. For the last five years, Somerset County
:17:25. > :17:30.Council has sponsored and therefore hosted its own stage. It has cost
:17:30. > :17:40.�750,000, but it has brought in between �7.5 million and �10
:17:40. > :17:42.million for the local economy. Here in Wells with it's Hollywood
:17:42. > :17:46.locations and plenty of tourists, they can expect another 10,000
:17:46. > :17:48.visitors on race day. Even with the extra tourists and a tenfold return
:17:48. > :17:51.on investment, the authority isn't renewing its contract to host the
:17:51. > :17:54.international event next year. is not appropriate at the moment to
:17:54. > :17:58.be spending more public money directly on that sort of contract,
:17:58. > :18:02.but we are very keen that the tour returns in the future. We encourage
:18:02. > :18:05.the talk and are working with the manager to look at opportunities
:18:05. > :18:08.for commercial sponsors step and if they want to come back to Somerset
:18:08. > :18:11.in the future, we would like to help them in the future. For all
:18:11. > :18:14.those who've missed out on Olympic tickets, the organisers hope the
:18:14. > :18:16.chance to see the world's best road cyclists compete, for free, in
:18:16. > :18:26.Somerset, will attract more than the 130,000 people who watched last
:18:26. > :18:33.
:18:33. > :18:37.And the England rugby captain Lewis Moody is waiting to find out
:18:37. > :18:40.whether he'll be able to take part in next month's world cup in New
:18:40. > :18:43.Zealand. The Bath flanker picked up a knee injury in England's match
:18:43. > :18:47.against Wales at the weekend. It's the same injury that kept him out
:18:47. > :18:50.of this years Six Nations, but Moody is hoping it's just a tweak.
:18:50. > :18:54.Now, how often do you hear of budding sports stars being told to
:18:54. > :18:57.have a career to fall back on? Well one teenager from Bristol has taken
:18:57. > :19:00.it a step further. He's earned himself an art
:19:00. > :19:04.scholarship at a college in the States, and hopes his talent will
:19:04. > :19:13.enable him to pay his way to a real sporting dream. Damian Derrick went
:19:13. > :19:16.to meet him. With a view like this who could
:19:16. > :19:23.fail to be creative? But then of course, you need the talent to go
:19:23. > :19:28.with it, and Christian Barnett has been blessed with plenty. I don't
:19:28. > :19:32.really draw off references, I just think of something and just
:19:32. > :19:40.visualise it and then draw it. I don't get a picture and try to copy
:19:40. > :19:43.it. So it is your imagination being your inspiration? Yes, definitely.
:19:43. > :19:47.And he's been inspired quite a bit - his house is full of pictures
:19:47. > :19:50.which have won him a scholarship to the States and are now ready to go
:19:50. > :20:00.on show in Bristol. But painting isn't his only talent - Christian
:20:00. > :20:03.
:20:03. > :20:08.He's hoping this could earn him a second scholarship. The thing that
:20:08. > :20:13.made him different from the other kids is that he is mentally focused,
:20:13. > :20:17.he has always known he wants to play basketball so we do spend many
:20:17. > :20:20.hours in the gym and then he practises himself. He puts in extra
:20:20. > :20:24.work and then go back -- and then back gets into the next level
:20:24. > :20:27.quicker than the others. But it's those artist skills that are going
:20:27. > :20:31.to pay Christian's way at college in New York. So a basketball career
:20:31. > :20:41.might be yet be a long way off, but he's got his eyes firmly on the
:20:41. > :20:44.
:20:44. > :20:47.Best of luck to him. A patch of land that was once
:20:47. > :20:50.filled with rubbish and derelict buildings has been transformed into
:20:50. > :20:53.a haven for wildlife, and it's attracting tourists looking to get
:20:53. > :20:56.away from it all. It's taken a couple from Somerset ten years to
:20:56. > :20:59.convert part of their estate into a wild flower meadow, and they've
:20:59. > :21:04.named it the field of dreams. Ashling McVeigh went to see it in
:21:04. > :21:09.bloom. Welcome to the field of dreams.
:21:09. > :21:14.Here I am in Somerset in this wild flower meadow, and just look at it,
:21:14. > :21:20.beautiful variety of flowers. 57 in total. With me is the bone and
:21:20. > :21:24.creator of this garden. Brian, what inspired you? It was a wasteland,
:21:24. > :21:28.terrible buildings, so we tried to create something that is the exact
:21:28. > :21:33.opposite of that. You have opened it to the public and had a great
:21:34. > :21:37.reaction. We have had over 1,500 people visit. We have not charge an
:21:37. > :21:43.entrance fee. We have asked them to donate and they have donated very
:21:43. > :21:50.generously. Excellent. We have also got nicked 80 -- Nick Baker, the
:21:50. > :21:55.naturalist. Telos, could you do this in your back garden? You cent
:21:55. > :22:01.and the could. My Borders do not look dissimilar. -- you certainly
:22:01. > :22:05.could. You cannot beat a bit of blue like that. It is gorgeous.
:22:05. > :22:10.What is important about this is of course, it is not something for the
:22:10. > :22:18.purists. If you are into pure flowers, this is not it. There is a
:22:18. > :22:22.mix from flowers around the world. The young ones have come here at
:22:22. > :22:26.the right level because they appreciate these flowers. But they
:22:26. > :22:30.have never seen anything like this. The fact that we are looking at
:22:30. > :22:35.this tiny corner of Somerset for this tells us what we are missing,
:22:35. > :22:39.which is wild flowers. The landscape was a living wasteland
:22:39. > :22:43.and wild flowers are so good for the wildlife as well. Thank you for
:22:43. > :22:47.that. So it is really a beautiful place to visit, and you can do so
:22:47. > :22:56.until the end of August. I promise you, you will not be disappointed
:22:56. > :23:02.with this field of dreams. It looks a heavenly. And gorgeous
:23:02. > :23:05.weather today as well. That story about the house being
:23:05. > :23:12.struck by lightning in Swindon, how common is that?
:23:12. > :23:18.Thankfully not a very! He is not in this country. If you go to
:23:19. > :23:28.Disneyland in America, you will see be lightning conductors on top of
:23:28. > :23:33.Brickwork has been damaged in a lot of houses because of the brain work.
:23:33. > :23:41.As the lightning hits it, it he'd sit in a second and it is detonated
:23:41. > :23:45.like Bach on a tree. Interesting how it is an end-of-terrace house.
:23:45. > :23:49.Open land is more prone to being hit. Let's return to take a look at
:23:49. > :23:53.some of the storms and yesterday which you can see tracking across
:23:53. > :23:57.Swindon there, some very lively rainfall there. I'm sure a number
:23:57. > :24:06.of the sort lightning from that, as indeed many do across the British
:24:06. > :24:10.Isles. Thankfully, there are only three fatalities due to lightning
:24:10. > :24:14.per year. That number has dropped dramatically since the 1,900,
:24:14. > :24:19.mainly because less people work outdoors. It is just where people
:24:19. > :24:22.are prone to see it. These are the rates of lightning strikes you see
:24:22. > :24:27.per square kilometre per year across our part of the British
:24:27. > :24:30.Isles. It is a highest as you come out to the east and north into
:24:30. > :24:33.Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. Almost one strike per square
:24:33. > :24:39.kilometre, that is quite high. No chance of any thunderstorms
:24:39. > :24:43.tomorrow. It will be a fine day a: Dry, bright, variable amounts of
:24:43. > :24:49.cloud. The reason for that is high pressure will start to build. It
:24:49. > :24:54.has been anything but today. This band running southwards will bring
:24:54. > :24:58.more shower and tomorrow, pressure builds and it means we get the best
:24:58. > :25:02.day of what is left of the week ahead. Let's look at the rainfall
:25:02. > :25:06.radar, which for a while has been dried into the early part of this
:25:06. > :25:11.evening. That the crews and showing its hand in the north so some
:25:11. > :25:14.showery outbreaks of rain feeding off. A number of you will see that
:25:14. > :25:20.through the course of the evening, probably through to late evening
:25:20. > :25:25.onwards. Behind that, the skies will clear overnight and in lighter
:25:25. > :25:31.winds, it will be a decidedly cooler night so by dawn tomorrow,
:25:31. > :25:35.you'll see lows of nine degrees yd away from the coast at least. There
:25:35. > :25:39.will be a good deal of early sunshine which is a good start to
:25:39. > :25:43.the day for rush-hour. That cloud will build as we get through late
:25:43. > :25:47.morning into the afternoon, particularly in and so it sunny air
:25:47. > :25:51.spells on and off and continuing that way through this evening and
:25:51. > :25:55.then we get the reverse process, we lose the heat and it should be a
:25:55. > :26:00.fine evening for everyone. Indeed sunnier spots up tomorrow, the
:26:00. > :26:05.winds will be light and it will feel pleasant. The tempters will be
:26:05. > :26:10.between 17 and 19 degrees. -- the temperatures. Looking beyond that,
:26:10. > :26:14.this is where things change. On Wednesday, the high pressure
:26:14. > :26:17.squeezes south and the low pressure comes in from the West, bringing
:26:17. > :26:23.very is frontal systems through the latter stage of Wednesday, through
:26:23. > :26:29.Thursday and through to Friday. It will be noticeably breezy and there
:26:29. > :26:34.could be a lot of cloud around, and there will be some brain. This is a
:26:34. > :26:41.scenario that we will be watching very closely as I'm sure will be
:26:41. > :26:46.the pilots and the organisers. Here is a summary. It will be fairly
:26:46. > :26:54.muggy on Wednesday, but rather inclement.
:26:54. > :26:58.It is really frightening to know that lightning can strike twice.
:26:58. > :27:03.Before we go tonight, there is time to look ahead to tomorrow's
:27:03. > :27:10.programme where we will be finding out how a historic gem in
:27:10. > :27:15.Cheltenham is being refurbished. Yes, people have spent the last few
:27:15. > :27:18.months restoring the theatre to its original glory. More than 120 years
:27:18. > :27:23.after it first opened. Those responsible say they are happy with
:27:23. > :27:27.the results. Far better than I had ever imagined. The vibrancy of the
:27:27. > :27:32.colours and the way it pulls together is a brilliant scheme.
:27:32. > :27:35.People will be really impressed and love it. We will bring you the full
