Hello and welcome to BBC Points West. In the headlines tonight: The | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
man accused of murdering Jo Yeates says he can't believe he killed her. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Giving evidence today, Vincent Tabak apologised for putting Jo's | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
parents through hell. And as the media interest grows - we report on | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
reaction to the trial back in Holland. Also tonight: Salute to | :00:30. | :00:33. | |

Vincent Tabak has apologised for putting Joanna Yeates' family | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
through hell. Giving evidence for the first time at Bristol Crown | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Court, he was at times tearful, saying his actions will haunt him | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
for the rest of his life, no matter what sentence he gets. Mr Tabak is | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
accused of murdering Miss Yeates in her flat in Clifton, just before | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Christmas. Our home affairs correspondent, Steve Brodie reports | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
now on another dramatic day in court. With Jo's family and her | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
boyfriend Greg sitting only feet from him in the public gallery, | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Vincent Tabak told a packed and silent court how he killed her, but | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
how he never meant to. The 33-year- old Dutch engineer said he was | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
walking past Jo's kitchen window on the evening of Friday December 17th | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
when she invited him in and offered him a drink. He claimed they had a | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
conversation which he misinterpreted as being flirtatious. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
He admitted making a pass at her and trying to kiss her. But she | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
screamed and he put his hand over her mouth and then at her throat to | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
quieten her. Defence barrister William Clegg asked Tabak to stand | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
in the witness box with his eyes closed and remember how long he | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
kept his hand there. There was silence until Tabak said "Now". Mr | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
Clegg said to the judge, "Fifteen seconds, my lord." Tabak told the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
court that after killing Jo Yeates he panicked. He described how he | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
took her body from the kitchen and carried it into the bedroom. He | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
then said how he walked back to his flat at the rear of this building. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
He then returned to Jo's flat and began to carry her back to his flat | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
but she was too heavy and he put her down - before eventually | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
managing to carry her to his bedroom. Later he put the body | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
inside a bicycle bag and then into the boot of his car. He then drove | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
to Asda in Bedminster with her body in the boot. Tabak wept in the | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
witness box when he talked about sending his girlfriend, Tanya, a | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
text saying he was bored and couldn't wait to see her. After | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
leaving the supermarket he drove home. Later he went out to Longwood | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Lane near Long Ashton, where he dumped her body, covering it in | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
leaves. He then broke down again and told the court "I'm so sorry | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
for doing that. I put Jo's parents and Greg through a week of hell. I | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
still cannot believe I did that." Cross examining Vincent Tabak, | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Nigel Likely QC told him 2 You are calcuilating dishonest and | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
manipulative" Tabak agreed he was. Mr Likely went on for the first | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
time yesterday we heard that this case as a sexual element to it. We | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
haerd how you wanted to kiss Mis Yeates. You were in fact of | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
thinking of more than kissing and kissing-you were thinking of having | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
sex with Joanna Yeates." Tabak replied "No, I wasn't". Tabak also | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
apologised for incriminating his and Jo's landlord Christopher | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Jefferies. He'd told police that Mr Jefferies had moved his car on the | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
night Jo went missing. The prosecution claimed that Tabak was | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
detached and able to carry out the killing. Tabak himself repeatedly | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
denied that he had ever planned her Media interest in the trial has | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
been intense - with every tiny piece of detail appearing online | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
via Twitter as soon as it's revealed in court. But what of the | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
coverage in Vincent Tabak's homeland? Andrew Plant reports now | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
:04:25. | :04:32. | ||
on how the Dutch media have been following the case. Over in Vincent | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
Tabak's homeland, it has been a different story. Die Telegraaf is | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Hollands largest morning paper - But even here you have to look hard | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
to find the latest on the Tabak trial. And as the British media | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
supplies the latest details to its outlets, Dutch journalists are very | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
:04:57. | :04:57. | ||
much the minority. The interest has faded away. It has been the inside | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
:05:07. | :05:12. | ||
pages. It is quite small. It is tucked away on page seven or eight. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Vincent Tabak's picture familiar to almost everyone here. In Holland | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
that picture is obscured - and he's known only as Vincent T. A courtesy | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
they say to a man innocent until proven guilty. Vincent Tabak has | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
already pleaded guilty to killing Jo Yeates. Breaking news story at | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
all. Despite it is not a breaking news story at all. What he disputes | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
is that it was on purpose - the difference between manslaughter and | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
murder. A difference it seems that, in Holland at least, is keeping | :05:46. | :05:56. | |
Tabak's name and face out of the headlines. So, continued interest | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
in this case both here in the West and abroad. Our Home Affairs | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Correspondent Steve Brodie is with me. Steve, clearly a key day today | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
with Vincent Tabak in the witness box. What happens now? Tomorrow | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
when the case resumes, Nigel Likely QC, the prosecution counsel, will | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
continue his cross-examination of Vincent Tabak about points the | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
defence have raised. After that, we expect to hear from a pathologist, | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
who is the defence witness on medical matters. Onto Monday, | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
another defence witness. On Tuesday, both legal teams will sum up Peps - | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
- their respective cases and put their points to the jury. Then the | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
judge will sum up the trial for the jury. He will point out bits of law | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
that the jury may not understand. We expect... We are never quite | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
sure with these big legal cases... We expect the jury to deliberate on | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
Thursday morning. Acts of violence against British soldiers patrolling | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
in Helmand Province in Afghanistan are down 45% this year. Theirs is | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
still a very dangerous job of course, but it's hoped they're | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
getting a better night's sleep, thanks to the work of a west | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
country engineer regiment. The front line sappers have been | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
upgrading remote patrol bases to make life off duty a little more | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
luxurious. Scott Ellis reports. Recently returned - from a war zone | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
that's slowly becoming less violent. Still though, a tough assignment | :07:36. | :07:46. | |
:07:46. | :07:47. | ||
for Tidworth's 22 Engineer Regiment. And the loved ones, left behind. | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
was scary more than anything, but it is pretty hard to explain, | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
because you are so worried about what they are doing. You have to be | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
a strong person and you need to get on with your life and not have them | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
worry about your life at home. As long as he backed them up, it is | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
fine. It takes a strong person to wait for them. Today, 57 Sappers | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
each received this camapign medal. In Afghanistan, these military | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
engineers have been rebuilding British patrol bases. Many were | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
just remote desert outposts. But they now have water, electricity | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
and bomb proof defences. When the guys come back of their patrols, | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
they can get clean, they can rest properly, and it makes them a bit | :08:30. | :08:39. | |
more normal. You can mentally unwind. Their work upgrading | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
British bases also looks to the future. The British combat role in | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
Afghanistan ends in 2015. As we leave the bases, so Afghan soldiers | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
will move in. The focus on transition, that does not mean just | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
handing over to Afghan National soldiers, sovereign soldiers, it is | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
also creating the infrastructure that they want. As the Sappers | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
received their Afghan medals, US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
arrived in Kabul with a tough message for Pakistan - to cut links | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
with militant groups. And to encourage the Taliban to enter the | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
non-violent politcal process in Afghanistan. Will they? Well, 22 | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
:09:30. | :09:33. | ||
will find out, when they return to Helmand in 2013. It's Chris and | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Amanda with your local news tonight. It's good to have you along. Coming | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
up: Will City flower under their new Scottish Manager? Derek McInnes | :09:39. | :09:49. | |
:09:49. | :09:52. | ||
meets his new braves. We have pneumatic cars, electric cars and | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
also a rocky car. Wiltshire Police have been given more time to | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
question three people in connection with the murder of a man near | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
Semley. Lennie Adams, who was 43, was found on Saturday. He'd been | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
buried in a shallow grave. Today his family said they would | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
certainly miss him as a father, brother, uncle and truly unique | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
friend to many. Two men and a woman are still being held. Two men have | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
been sent to prison for their part in organised dog fighting. Ian | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Draper from Burford in Oxfordshire was sentenced to twenty weeks while | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
his son Danny Draper received a twelve week term. Both men pleaded | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
guilty to the charges last month following a raid on a house in | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Swindon where Danny Draper was living at the time. They've also | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
been banned from keeping dogs. A haulage company in Gloucester's | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
been showing off its new lorry today. But this is no ordinary HGV, | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
it's one of the biggest articulated vehicles in the country. Wincanton | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Logistics claims it weighs the same as its current lorries and that it | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
will reduce emissions. But its size hasn't gone down well in one | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
:11:08. | :11:12. | ||
Gloucestershire town. Chris James reports. It has 16 wheels and it's | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
twice the length of two double decker buses. This is the UK's | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
largest articulated lorry, and it's based here near Gloucester, and | :11:17. | :11:26. | |
it's coming to a road near you. At the moment, this is the biggest | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
lorry on our roads. From June next year, we will start seeing some of | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
these. It will be two metres longer, added will carry an extra 17,000 | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
aspirin boxes or 10,000 Patrick's bottles or 40 extra plasma TV's. | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
She did not wait more as well? is carrying more. It is for more | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
palettes, that is above the 26 we have now. -- it is four more | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
palates. Wincanton claims this eco- trailer will save the UK transport | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
industry �400 million a year. This is Tetbury. A Gloucestershire town, | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
where local people say they're plagued daily by HGV's. The size of | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
this new 44-tonner is concerning some. That is just a nightmare! | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
Disgusting! It is incredible! If they only used at the trains, don't | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
get me started! Too big for any of the British roads. Except possibly | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
on the motorway. That is ridiculous. For small streets like this, it | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
couldn't be done. To run one of these lorries on the road, you'll | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
need a special license because they're so big. Wincanton is hoping | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
to get several hundred. The Department for Transport says | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
they're safe, and plans to allow nearly 2,000 of them on our roads | :12:47. | :12:56. | |
from next year. On yesterday's programme you may have seen our | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
story about the lorry that got stuck in Bruton in Somerset. Well, | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
we've just been sent these pictures from Bath where a van tried - but | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
didn't quite make it underneath a railway bridge. People passing on | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Jew's Lane, just off the Lower Bristol Road, saw the vehicle | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
wedged in under the arch at about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The police | :13:16. | :13:25. | |
tell us the road is now clear. Filton Airfield made a healthy | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
profit last year despite its owners saying it's not financially viable. | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
BAE Systems announced earlier this year that it intends to close the | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
airfield in 2012, but the BBC's seen accounts showing the site made | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
one point three million pounds in 2010. Campaigners and opposition | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
councillors say it shows the airfield can be marketed as a going | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
:13:51. | :13:56. | ||
concern, rather than being turned into houses. BAE Systems have | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
convinced the public and local MPs that this has been losing �3 | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
million each year, but the accounts show it has not. This airfield, | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
with proper then be -- with proper marketing but has not been carried | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
out by BAE Systems, could be a Bible and profitable airfield. -- a | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
viable. BAE says despite last year's profit, the runway has been | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
operating at a loss for the previous nine years and the profits | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
aren't sustainable long-term. Organisers of a beauty pageant in | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
South Korea say they're investigating allegations of sexual | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
harassment made by a Bristol beauty queen. Nineteen-year old Amy | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
Willerton, who's the former Miss Bristol and Miss Bath, took part in | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
the Miss Asia Pacific World Competition earlier this month. She | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
says she left early for her own safety. Organisers reject claims | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
the girls weren't fed properly, but say there will be an investigation | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
:14:56. | :14:59. | ||
into whether they were asked for sexual favours in return for votes. | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
A Bristol school opened today, two years after losing the head teacher. | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
This man was 48 when he died last year. Since then, the school has | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
pressed ahead with the expansion, with singing and celebrity guests | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
to open the facilities in style. We have had two years since the | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
original planning was put in for the school. We put up with a lot of | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
mess. It has always been a brilliant school here, and it is | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
great we have the disease to match, and we thank the authority. It used | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
to be that all you needed to fix a car was a spanner and an owner's | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
manual - these days the average mechanic needs to be an expert in | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
computing and electronics as well as mechanical engineering. But now | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
there's a little extra help for the mechanics of tomorrow, as a new | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
training centre for apprentices in automotive engineering opened in | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
Bristol. Here's Jules Hyam. It is a name that has been synonymous with | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
engineering, particularly automobiles and aircraft. Bristol | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
is a city with a heritage of engineering achievements. Bristol | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
has an engineering past, but here in Bedminster, they are trying to | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
create the engineers of the future. The Academy opened a map talk of | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
engineering firsts. There is a definite need for skilled people. | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
The motor industry is very sophisticated. Cars, trucks and | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
buses and commuter -- computer networks on there. There is a need | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
for high quality -- high quality skills. Whether it is buses like | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
this want, or military does -- vehicles, or because it run a | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
:17:07. | :17:10. | ||
We take part in the Green Power Challenge, which is an engineering | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
challenge for UK each schools. Engineering is not a big part of | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
the curriculum, so a centre like this is encouraging the next | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
generations of engineers. It is good to promote science and | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
engineering. It allowed -- it allows us to learn things that we | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
do not learnt at school. The gains of more experienced. Plenty here to | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
:17:46. | :17:51. | ||
enthuse young minds. We now have 2,400 schools learning But found. | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
There is or world record held by the Joseph Leckie school. It is | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
essential thing. We have to get the stipulating going. Once he had the | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
stimulation going, the education follows. That is where the Academy | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
helped. They will be aiming to develop the very best of Bristol | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
engineering. A South West MEP has been honoured today at a ceremony | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
at Windsor Castle. Graham Watson, from Langport in Somerset, received | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
his knighthood from the Princess Royal at a formal investiture. | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
Despite being a staunch republican, Sir Graham said he was happy to | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
:18:38. | :18:39. | ||
accept the honour for his public and political service. In sport, | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Bristol City's new manager met his new players for the first time | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
today and took his first training session. He's on a tight schedule - | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
his opening game in charge is on Sunday at home to Birmingham City. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Earlier today though he faced his first press conference as the City | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
boss and said he was taking over at a club with great potential. David | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
:19:05. | :19:05. | ||
Passmore's report contains flash photography from the start. The aim | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
is simple. Start winning games, avoid relegation, and turn City | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
back into a club capable of challenging for promotion to the | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
Premier League. Achieving that will take all of the young manager's | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
skill. He's signed a two-and-a-half year contract and knows he's taking | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
over a club with potential. There's a lot here to be built on. The club | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
is so similar size to a lot of clubs in the Championship. People | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
say it is a giant with potential, and we have seen clubs of similar | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
size get to the Premier League. We have a lot of potential here. | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
McInnes brings an impressive track record from St Johnstone and his | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
assistant Tony Docherty. He has a fantastic way with the players. He | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
will work closely with the players, but his biggest asset is a | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
fantastic work ethic. He was served Bristol City well. Which leaves | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
former assistant manager Steve Wigley in limbo. He is in contract | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
but will be waiting to see if he and the new manager can establish a | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
good working relationship. Steve is under contract. He is an | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
outstanding coach, and I expect with his experience of English | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
football, he will work with Derek and Tony at this club. But for | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
McInnes the pressing issue is Sunday's game and getting to know | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
his squad. You have to get a system of play that suits us. We will | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
Valley everybody. Everyone will get a chance to impress. I think that | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
is only right. I look forward to getting started with them. Derek | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
McInnes has a reputation of being hard but fair. Bristol City had to | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
pay quite a bit of compensation for him, but that does mean they are | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
getting a successful manager from a club on the up. Everyone hopes that | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
continues here. Exactly 150 years ago tonight England's cricket team | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
boarded the SS Great Britain on a two month voyage to Australia. The | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
tour sparked a passion for cricket down under, and led to the rivalry | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
that we see today. Gloucestershire County Cricket Club is hosting a | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
celebration on board - right about now - with guest speakers including | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
the former England players Angus Fraser and the all rounder David | :21:23. | :21:33. | |

Children In Need. Now we've all heard of patron saints - of places, | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
of occupations and even of animals.. But you may not know there's also a | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
patron saint of vegetarians. Yup, he's St Wulfstan and he's just been | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
honoured at a church in South Gloucestershire. Villagers raised | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
some twelve thousand pounds to have a new stained glass window | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
dedicated to him - complete with plenty of seasonal vegetables! | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
Dickon Hooper has been along to see The work at St Marys began first | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
thing this morning. To honour the patron saint of vegetarians, St | :22:27. | :22:37. | |
:22:37. | :22:37. | ||
Wulfstan, with this new stained glass window. I think it is a one- | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
off. I have never seen one dedicated to someone with | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
vegetables contained in such a direct way. It is interesting. | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
Living in the countryside, it is good to celebrate produce, | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
particularly at this time of year. It is a really good sense of fun. | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Locals make sure the church in Hawkesbury Upton is well cared for | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
- and they're proud of St Wulfstan's time here - and his | :23:02. | :23:12. | |
conversion to a meat free life. would have been in charge of the | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
Church, and he would have ordered goods to be cut. The smell would | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
have wafted around, and all he could think of was the smell of the | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
goose racing away. He forgot his prayers, and was ready to suppress | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
-- distressed about that. He was a devout man. He fouled after that | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
that he would not eat goose or meet Again. Later in life, he became the | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
patron saint of vegetarians. that where the expression comes | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
:23:52. | :23:53. | ||
from? We could add that on to the story! His journey began be a 1,000 | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
years ago when he was the parish priest here. On Thursday, the | :24:01. | :24:09. | |
Bristol -- Bishop of Gloucester will have a dedication. Most -- no | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
geese allow old! The perils of roast geese! Let's go to the | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
weather. I wonder who is the patron saint of weather forecasters? | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
don't. I would like to meet him! I think so far, so could this week. | :24:29. | :24:38. | |
One thing there was noticeable was not just the frost, but | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
comparatively though, we are going to see things going the other way. | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
Temperatures are climbing well above average again. Let's split | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
the difference of the average temperature and call it 14 Celsius. | :24:52. | :25:00. | |
Conversely, it will get windier and more unsettled. Whether or not this | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
photograph of the River Severn is replicated tomorrow, there will be | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
a fair bit of cloud around. You will see some breaks in VAT, and | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
some brighter spells, and either way, it will be that bit milder, | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
and it should be drier or largely so. Wind still accommodating. The | :25:24. | :25:34. | |
:25:34. | :25:37. | ||
isobars are getting squeezed. The wind is travelling in a milder | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
direction. You may well see the space station come over. You will | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
have clearer spells. The club place pulled tend to lower, and affect | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
many of our districts through the course of the night. Remaining dry | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
despite a spot of drizzle around the 7th. -- around the resort -- | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
Many folks will have to put the central heating on tonight. It will | :26:11. | :26:18. | |
be frost-free by tomorrow morning. There will be a bit of cloud around, | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
and where you are to the north-east of some of the high ground, things | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
will continue with sunny spells. will continue with sunny spells. | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
Igraine dry, and the breeze will be less. Temperatures going upwards | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
somewhat. Temperatures as high as 15 Celsius. Things are going to | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
change as well as getting odder. They are also going to get | :26:45. | :26:55. | |
:26:55. | :26:55. | ||
unsettled. It will be breezier on Saturday. We import these fronts | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
from the West. A complex pattern. Ferris forecast models are varying. | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
We do expect by the end the weekend, particularly into Monday, it will | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
be a wet and windy story for all of us. It is just the nuances of how | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
wet and windy. The jet stream winds going over the top of the West | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
Country. It looks like a lively spell of weather. Tempters up into | :27:22. | :27:28. |
