Hello and welcome to BBC Points West. Hello and welcome to BBC | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Points West. In tonight's headlines: He was "one in a | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
million." Heartfelt tributes are paid to the Gloucestershire based | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
soldier killed in Afghanistan. Also tonight, takeoff at last for | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
the Bristol designed driverless pods launched today at Heathrow. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
The last Tour of Britain through Somerset but is the council being | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
short-sighted to put the brakes on sponsorship? | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
And heading for another Lord's Final, find out what a Somerset | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
:00:45. | :00:46. | ||
cricketing legend says is the secret of success. | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
There is no better supporter than a Somerset supporter. The Good | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
evening. A soldier shot while on patrol in Afghanistan has been | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
named this evening. Lance Corporal Jonathan James McKindlay was 33 and | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
serving with the Gloucestershire- based First Battalion The Rifles. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
His wife said tonight he was her one in a million. It brings to five | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
the number of riflemen killed on this tour. Isabel Webster is at | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
their barracks now. You joined me outside a camp | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
grieving this evening for yet another of its men. This is the 5th | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
last for them on this current tour of duty. But this is a very small, | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
tight-knit community. News is sitting very heavy with those | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
families. The MoD announced the name of the rifleman as a lance | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
corporal Jonathan Mick Kinane and it is only once you get that name | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
and you can put a face to it you get a true sense of their loss -- | :01:54. | :02:04. | |
:02:04. | :02:05. | ||
To his friends and family he was known as JJ but to his daughter and | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
stepchildren he was simply dad. His wife called him her one-in-a- | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
million. He had been on patrol in Helmand province when he was shot | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
dead on Wednesday in an enemy ambush. He had been deployed in | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
June. Today he was remembered as a highly qualified soldier, agile of | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
mind, but also as a family man. We have lost a fantastic Italian | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
character and a highly accomplished soldier -- battalion. At this time | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
of grief our thoughts and prayers go to his wife, daughter, it step | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
Georgian and the rest of his family. -- step children. Outside the | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
barracks friends and loved ones had already left flowers. Taken far too | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
soon, this one says. Heaven is graced with a true hero. His | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
company sergeant confessed losing one of your men doesn't get any | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
easier. It is very sad, as you can imagine. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
The guys want to know what they're doing, what you are training for | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
and it is a small community here, close Richmond and close family | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
said it is very sad when you see the flowers behind, and it will | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
continue to be sad. They are due back this autumn but the loss of | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
this soldier will come as a huge blow to morale and a grave reminder | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
of the very real threats they face. This candle has also been set up as | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
a reminder of those risks they are facing every day. He was placed by | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
one of the guards working on the gate and the idea is the flame is | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
only extinguished once every single member returns home. The tragic | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
reality is he will not now be with them. His repatriation is expected | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
next Thursday and between 15 and 20 members will travel to RAF Brize | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
Norton to formally welcome home his coffin. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Unions at Honda in Swindon say they've uncovered evidence that | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
managers want to cut pay and minimise the influence of the trade | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
union at their car plant. Unite says it found out from slides | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
intended for a power-point presentation. Honda's denied the | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
:04:45. | :04:46. | ||
claims, as Scott Ellis reports. Controversy at Honda, the union | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
Unite says it has obtained management documents which show | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Honda is anti-union. When it comes to the trade union they are neutral. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
The evidence we are now seeing is they may not be as neutral as they | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
outlined, and we need to get to the bottom of this. It is not in the | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
interests of the future of the car factory or people at work there to | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
have this uncertainty. Been says it has another document | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
which shows managers wanted to cut pay and they have distributed | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
newsletters at the factory where they have 1,000 members. The Union | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
say they got hold of slides from one of their members. He works here | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
at Honda in Swindon but was suspended on sort bashful pacer | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
months ago. Honda will not comment. -- he was suspended some months ago. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Honda says all our associates have been informed this morning of the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
inaccuracies in the article and of the fact we have no intention of | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
:06:00. | :06:05. | ||
Honda has has unions in Swindon for nine years. This employment experts | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
says a downturn will put pressure on industrial relations. Most | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
businesses except the valuable role businesses do play -- unions play | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
in the structure of the business but in times of heightened economic | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
pressure and tension that relationship can become frayed at | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
the edges. Unite is worried about losing its union influence at Honda | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
and is seeking talks with managers. Tributes have been left at the | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
scene of a car crash which killed two teenagers in Somerset. 19-year- | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
olds Daniel Gardiner and Daniel Matts were driving through Langport | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
in the early hours of yesterday when their car left the road and | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
hit a wall. Both men died at the site at Pitney Hill. Police are | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
appealing for witnesses. A futuristic driverless car was | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
unveiled today. The unusual vehicle started life as a Bristol | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
University project. Now, more than 15 years on, the Heathrow Pod is | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
finally up and running carrying passengers at the airport's | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
Terminal 5. John Maguire was at the launch. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
They may look like a science- fiction but these silent vehicles | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
are very much Engineering fact. The first system of its type and the | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
key difference? It is more like a car than a bus. Public transport | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
that is personal. What we have here is the system, starts with a touch | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
screen. Terminal 5. Martin started working on this project at the | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
University of Bristol in 1995. From the drawing board to today's | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
reality at Heathrow airport. objective was to design the optimum | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
form of transport for the 21st century and this is something which | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
has no waiting, no stopping, no transfers. So we think it will | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
attract people out of their cars into this new form of transport. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
And like a monorail the infrastructure is relatively cheap. | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
They run on a narrow road, not a Railtrack, or computer controlled. | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
The vehicles run on regular tyres so you don't have the heavy | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
infrastructure you would have with rail and high-voltage lines. It is | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
between three and five times cheaper than a rail system. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Yesterday was the busiest day yet and so far passengers have been | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
very impressed. Just came back from France and straight on it again, | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
very good, very impressed. Or use it again. The original idea was to | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
revolutionise our urban transport systems. The company based in | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
Bristol hopes they will soon come to our towns and cities as well as | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
business parks and airports. This has always been ambitious project. | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
And now it is a reality this guy is the limit. -- the best guy. | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Like Tomorrow's World. Well it's Chris and Madeleine with | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
all your evening news. Stay with us as there's lots more to come before | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
seven o'clock. Ian will have a full weekend weather forecast and... | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Is this a new way of beating the burglars? How a stolen laptop was | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
able to tell its owner where it was, But before that the Charity | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Commission's asking for more information about money raised in | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
memory of Anni Dewani who was murdered on her honeymoon in South | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
Africa. A page set up on the Just Giving website raised �11,000 but | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
it was taken down at the weekend. The charity SEWA UK admits there's | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
been a delay in distributing it. It's still talking to Anni's family | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
about how the money's spent. Anni's husband Shrien Dewani is awaiting | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
extradition accused of plotting her murder. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
The world's best cyclists were in Somerset today as the Tour of | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Britain came to town. But this could be the last time the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
county plays host to the event. The county council who've supported it | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
financially in the past say there's no more money. The local MP says | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
that's a short sighted view. Clinton Rogers reports. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
The centre of Taunton is closed as Britain's premier cycle race | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
:10:40. | :10:44. | ||
arrives in Somerset's county town. But not everyone's enthusiastic. | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
The very bad are for business, it is making it worse. A lot of | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
schoolkids, great atmosphere. Love it or hate it fact is it's | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
unlikely to be returning to Somerset, and that's all down to | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
money. In 2007 Somerset County Council signed a five-year deal to | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
help sponsor this event to bring the cyclists to Somerset. That | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
comes to an end today. It cost than three-quarters of �1 million and | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
they have made it clear the chances of any more money in the new -- | :11:17. | :11:26. | |
near future are zero -- �750,000. think you would choose the same as | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
we would and you would say you have got to put more important things | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
first. This is an event that attracts the best of the best, | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
people like British cycling legend Mark Cavendish who had just one | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
word for county councillors. Open your mind. Of course once the race | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
started politics was the last thing on their minds. Now it's all about | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
:11:58. | :12:01. | ||
winning stage six at speeds too fast for some spectator. -- some | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
:12:11. | :12:15. | ||
spectators couldn't cope. That is another one. They were quick. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Across the Somerset Levels and up Cheddar Gorge. The race produced | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
some spectacular crashes, one rider ended up in hospital with a broken | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
collar bone. Meanwhile behind the scenes there were still lobbying | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
for a change of heart on the issue of public funding. | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
There is a big economic benefit to the county and my nervousness is | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
making a small saving, looks like it is wise, but the overall costs | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
:12:46. | :12:52. | ||
to the economy mean overall we are losing. The stage winner was Lars | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
:13:02. | :13:12. | ||
Broom. A lasting legacy's been created in memory of a scout leader | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
from Bristol who died in a hot air balloon accident. The new scout | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
headquarters at Bedminster Down were the brainchild of Alan Burnett | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
but he tragically died before the building was finished. Lizzie Way | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
reports. He wanted to transform this old scout hut in Hartcliffe | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
and move it here to Cheddar Grove. And this is the result this brand | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
new space is a new home for modern scouting. Sadly though Alan will | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
never see it. On New year's Day he was attempting a higher altitude | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
flight with a co-pilot when something went dramatically wrong. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
A balloon came down over the area of Midsomer Norton and both were | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
killed. This mountain bike track here, everything around this whole | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
area, has been billed as a legacy to him. He wanted so much and | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
intended to give so much. Shooting, archery, beach volleyball and with | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
a huge playing field, this facility has been a labour of love. | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
focus allowing the Scout groups to grow and progress is beyond | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
anybody's imagination. We are trying to fulfil not just his dream, | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
but our dream. Bristol has a long association with | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
ballooning, the accident shocked the whole community. It was the | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
first fatal crash in over 30 years. Alan left behind a wife and three | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
children. He was a doer, not a talker and he | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
would be proud we all work together. Alan Burnett is no longer with us | :14:36. | :14:46. | |
:14:46. | :14:53. | ||
but his vision is here for us all to enjoy. Now to sport, and a big | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
weekend for Somerset. It's the climax of the domestic cricket | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
season tomorrow. And the team are trying to end their wait for | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
silverware. They finished as runners-up in the Twenty20 Cup, so | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
can they win the 40-over trophy tomorrow? Alistair is here, what do | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
you think? I'm a firm believer that if you | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
keep putting yourself in these positions, that by the law of | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
averages you have to win one eventually. For the record, this is | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
the fifth consecutive domestic cup final Somerset have made, which is | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
And this morning there was a real boost for the side. This is Marcus | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
Trescothick getting ready to board the team coach, leaving Taunton for | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
Lords. He's been sidelined for the last three weeks with an ankle | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
injury, but says he will play even though he's not 100% fit. | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
My week of preparation outdoors has gone well. Trying to push the ankle | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
as much as we can to make sure it response OK. I'm pretty pleased. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Hoping nothing happens today or tomorrow morning and we will be | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
:15:56. | :16:03. | ||
Somerset and Surrey have met once before in a Lord's final in 1981 | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
when Sir Viv Richards scored an unbeaten 132 to lead them to the | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Benson & Hedges Cup. Well, the Somerset legend was back in the | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
West today playing in a charity golf tournament in Minehead, and | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
Seb Choudhury went to speak to him. In 1981 when Somerset met Surrey in | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
Lords Sir Viv Richards made sure there was only one result. 30 years | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
on the eve of the two sides meeting again the legend came back to | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
familiar territory. Albeit for a different ball game. In the 70s and | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
80s Sir Viv formed one part of a destructive cricketing trio along | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
:16:44. | :16:48. | ||
with Sir Ian Botham and Joel Garner. Three we all started to get there. | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
When you're are playing with the club you are not looked upon or | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
taken seriously, and I guess things change. One of the things that made | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
it more interesting was the supporters were the best anywhere | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
in the world. Somerset are a good side, an amazing sight, but you | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
were a great side. This is one of the unfortunate things that can | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
happen in whatever sport you play. Getting there in itself, it is a | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
long haul. In 1978 we got to the final and lost. We lost on that | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
particular Sunday so you can say we mucked up in 1978. It is about | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
turning the corner. I guess they are still young enough. They will | :17:48. | :17:56. | |
go far? They can. I hope there are some words of inspiration, it can | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
be achieved, don't give up. This is what it is all about. Sometimes | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
when you get things too easily or you would have taken a short cut to | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
success, you will have short cuts, so it is a good race, nice way to | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
start slowly and this particular time it is the time they will come | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
up trumps. Inspirational stuff. Let's talk to the cricket writer | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
and broadcaster Stephen Lamb, who's worked on all of Somerset's near | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
misses. Are they doing anything wrong? Can they do anything | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
differently? The lost in the corresponding final | :18:39. | :18:47. | |
last year because Ian Bell played a magnificent innings before | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Warwickshire. He was involved in that team which lost just narrowly, | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
went out of two tournaments over a weekend. He knew what it was like. | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
They won the following year. He is confident it can happen, so my. | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Marcus Trescothick has admitted he is three weeks away from fitness, | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
how much of a gamble is it to play him? | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
It is a big tumble but I can understand why it he is desperate | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
to play -- big gamble. He looks as though he is going to, let's hope | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
it works out. If he gets injured they are in trouble. Yes, because | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
effectively he could be out of the match up and very serious. Surrey | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
are coming into this in a lot of form, a tough final. They are on a | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
bit of a role. They have just been promoted from Division Two. They | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
are a young team, play fearlessly, got a young captain. All the | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
rebuilding work they did a couple of years ago looks like it is | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
beginning to work can now. They will come strongly at Somerset, no | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
doubt about that. But Somerset have the experience and there is no | :20:03. | :20:13. | |
:20:13. | :20:14. | ||
reason they shouldn't put it to big effect. | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Let's have a look at the rugby and football, the fixtures will be on | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
the screen shortly. Bath's Lewis Moody will captain England on | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
Sunday against Georgia. He missed the World Cup opener against | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
Argentina with a knee injury. Gloucester's Mike Tindall, who was | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
skipper in Moody's absence is one of nine players rested for this | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
game. In the Premiership, Tindall's Gloucester team-mates are away to | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
Harlequins. Head coach Bryan Redpath has made a number of | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
changes including giving a first start to Australian hooker Nathan | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
Charles. Bath are at home to Exeter, while in the Championship Bristol, | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
with two wins out of two, go to Leeds. And that pairing also meet | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
in football with Bristol City looking for a first win in five | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
matches away at Leeds United. City have won just a single game so far, | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
and only scored four goals in their seven league and cup matches. | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
That's left them third from bottom of the table. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
It is mad that one when, everything is great, one defeat and the | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
pressure builds. We're not pleased with the start but we can easily | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
put that right by getting the result on Saturday and it is early | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
days. The longer it goes while you are down there but we found last | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
year the pressure does build. That is for me to take and try to keep | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
away from the players. Amongst the other games, in League Two, | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
Cheltenham have made a good start, currently fifth. They're away to | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
AFC Wimbledon, which sees striker Kaid Mohammed returning to the club | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
where he won promotion to the football league just four months | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
ago. I will be at Lord's tomorrow. They | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
are in the away dressing room. Commentary on BBC Radio Bristol and | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
Somerset. We will see how the weather is | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
looking in a moment. A suspected burglar has been arrested after a | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
Bristol student used a tracking device to find her stolen laptop. | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
When Emma Partington discovered her computer had been taken, she turned | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
on the software, it not only showed where it was, but even took a | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
:22:23. | :22:24. | ||
picture of the man using it. How? Well to find out more, we put the | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
software on our own computer and gave it to Andrew Plant, our thief | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
for the day. As he went off to investigate we could track him and | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
found him on Whiteladies Road in Bristol. | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
This is where they have tracked me down to, a cafe down the road. They | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
have used a new piece of software which tells them attorney exactly | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
where I am, it shows them who I am as well. It is a new weapon against | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
the odds that becomes your own personal private detective. One | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
issue was burgled in the quarter Mary of Bristol little did the | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
person using the laptop in their bedroom no they were being caught | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
on-camera. There was tracking software installed on a laptop. And | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
that gave us a precise location, but more than that it took a | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
photograph of the person who had their laptop in their possession. | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
Here is how it works. First I will steal a BBC laptop then retreated | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
to a cafe to browse the Internet. Thanks to a three piece of software | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
installed I can send it her message to track itself. It will send me | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
its exact location and a picture of the thief. Frankly, he looks dodgy. | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
At this end I am none the wiser. My photograph and location could | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
already be making their way to the police making their job a whole lot | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
easier. This is fantastic. He provides us with a very powerful | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
tool and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone out there | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
who has got a laptop. In this case the if person found | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
with the computer was arrested and faces charges and a laptop returned | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
to its owner. There are several types of tracking software | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
available on the internet. Police hope they could start a new era of | :24:17. | :24:27. | |
:24:27. | :24:28. | ||
We will fit a tracking device to Ian Ferguson so we can keep a close | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
eye on him. What is it looking like for the | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
Lord's final? Not dissimilar to the weather here | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
but they should have less showers. Sunny interludes, hit and miss with | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
the showers. Some interruptions but I think they will get all their | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
play in one way or another. If you're bored with the potential of | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
some showers and blustery conditions and you want to do | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
something indoors Bristol Eye Hospital have got an open day. Meet | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
all the staff, who as I can attest, a pretty decent folk. All in pretty | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
much the same boat on Saturday. All courtesy of his deep area of low | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
pressure which will move northwards through the course of the weekend. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
He will bring the threat of showers and some quite a breezy conditions. | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
Up above me this is the remains of Hurricane Maria which will not | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
influence us the way we saw last week but will have this trailing | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
front bringing some wet-weather on Monday, and Tuesday. This evening | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
we have some showers. A fairly They will be superseded later by | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
some more showery outbreaks of rain. Some will turn up quite heavy | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
towards dawn tomorrow. A fairly breezy night. Temperatures much of | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
a lightness for all of us. Tomorrow morning a breezy start. Some | :26:10. | :26:20. | |
:26:20. | :26:21. | ||
brighter, drier interlude. There will be some areas where you may | :26:21. | :26:31. | |
:26:31. | :26:32. | ||
miss them all together. Potentially some lightning, gusted down drafts. | :26:32. | :26:42. | |
:26:42. | :26:53. | ||
-- gusty. An overnight drop in temperature. Feeling colder. Sunday, | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
a subtle change. The wind starts to feel towards a north-westerly | :26:58. | :27:08. | |
:27:08. | :27:11. | ||
influence in the shower distribution. A fairly heavy | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
showers in west Somerset. Most will be gone by the evening. Average of | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
high pressure before we see the further outbreaks of rain on Monday. | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
-- there will be a ridge of high pressure. | :27:27. | :27:34. |
