:00:11. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to BBC Points West. In tonight's headlines... The

:00:15. > :00:18.tragic consequences of a drunken argument. A somerset woman goes on

:00:18. > :00:24.trial for killing her husband by pulling on the car handbrake at

:00:24. > :00:28.high speed. Liam Fox admits he was careless. The former Defence

:00:28. > :00:32.Secretary speaks for the first time since his resignation. Also tonight,

:00:32. > :00:39.reforming university admissions. Cheltenham-based UCAS says students

:00:39. > :00:42.should apply AFTER getting their exam results. And a special BBC

:00:42. > :00:52.project goes behind the scenes at one of the National Trust's most

:00:52. > :00:54.

:00:54. > :00:57.First tonight, a Somerset woman has been accused of killing her husband

:00:57. > :01:00.by suddenly pulling on the handbrake as he was driving. Her

:01:00. > :01:03.actions caused them to spin out of control and hit another car.

:01:03. > :01:05.Caroline Meeking denies a charge of manslaughter. Our Somerset

:01:05. > :01:13.correspondent, Clinton Rogers reports now from Bristol Crown

:01:13. > :01:16.Surrounded by family and friends Caroline Meeking left Bristol Crown

:01:16. > :01:19.Court this afternoon, hiding her face from the cameras. Earlier, as

:01:19. > :01:22.the evidence against her had unfolded she wept repeatedly in the

:01:22. > :01:26.dock The jury were told she and her husband had been drinking heavily

:01:26. > :01:36.on a day out before driving home along this road on the outskirts of

:01:36. > :01:38.

:01:38. > :01:41.Yeovil - late one night in August The prosecution say that in the car,

:01:41. > :01:46.with Mr Meeking at the wheel and his wife in the front passenger

:01:46. > :01:49.seat - a drunken argument started. Mrs Meeking claimed her husband

:01:49. > :01:56.started shouting at her, verbally abusing her and threatening to

:01:56. > :01:58.leave her. Suddenly, she pulled on the handbrake. The car spun out of

:01:58. > :02:00.control, hitting another car travelling in the opposite

:02:00. > :02:07.direction. Mr Meeeking suffered multiple injuries and died

:02:07. > :02:17.instantly. The driver of the second car said that after the crash she

:02:17. > :02:20.heard Mrs Meeking shouting: it is all my fault. I have killed him.

:02:20. > :02:25.They have been hearing details of the police interview after she was

:02:25. > :02:30.arrested. She said she had been upset by the disagreement with her

:02:30. > :02:34.husband and wanted to stop the car and get out and that is why she

:02:34. > :02:38.pulled on the handbrake. She said I did not realise that what I did

:02:38. > :02:41.would cause what happened. The prosecution say the crash and Mr

:02:41. > :02:45.Meeking's death was caused by an unlawful act that amounted to

:02:45. > :02:55.manslaughter. Mrs Meeking denies the charge. Her trial is likely to

:02:55. > :02:57.

:02:57. > :03:02.last three days. The North Somerset MP Liam Fox has told the BBC he

:03:02. > :03:04.hopes to return to the government. In his first interview since

:03:04. > :03:07.resigning as Defence Secretary he admitted he'd made a "careless

:03:07. > :03:17.mistake". An official investigation found he'd broken the ministerial

:03:17. > :03:20.

:03:20. > :03:25.code. He was talking exclusively to Two weeks ago, he was at the centre

:03:25. > :03:29.of a political storm. Liam Fox was forced to stand down as Defence

:03:29. > :03:34.Secretary because of his friendship with Adam Werrity. His best man was

:03:34. > :03:39.also an unofficial adviser, funded by outsiders to work with him

:03:39. > :03:44.around the world. He admits his error in his only interview since

:03:44. > :03:49.standing down. It was a careless mistake and it should not have been

:03:49. > :03:54.made. You should be big enough at the devils of government to admit

:03:54. > :03:57.he made a mistake. I take responsibility and I have always

:03:57. > :04:04.been very keen all my life that people shoulder personal

:04:04. > :04:10.responsibilities. For journalists descended on his home in Twickenham

:04:10. > :04:15.after revelations day after day. It is quite disconcerting. It is

:04:15. > :04:20.difficult to do your proper job. You cannot physically move. The

:04:20. > :04:27.house gets barricaded. Relatives are telephoning because they are

:04:27. > :04:33.upset. Even to be staged at one of my nephews at the age of 14 was

:04:33. > :04:37.doorstep and that was not acceptable. He became an MP in 1992.

:04:37. > :04:44.Next year he got his first government job and has been a high-

:04:44. > :04:49.flyer since. He hopes he can come back. I would certainly like to get

:04:49. > :04:55.back to the front bench. How quickly is another matter. I think

:04:55. > :05:01.for the moment, I will enjoy having a bit of extra time. I have got a

:05:01. > :05:05.couple of projects I would like to get involved in. He has always had

:05:05. > :05:12.a high profile in North Somerset. His constituents can now expect to

:05:12. > :05:16.A royal "thank you" today for the teams who dealt with the aftermath

:05:16. > :05:18.of the riots in Gloucester this summer. The Duke and Duchess of

:05:18. > :05:27.Gloucester congratulated the council, emergency workers and

:05:27. > :05:36.community leaders for the way they The West Country caught the tail

:05:36. > :05:39.end of the riots. But the troubles in Gloucester were shocking

:05:39. > :05:46.nonetheless. If it could happen here in a quiet a cathedral city -

:05:46. > :05:49.where was safe? Today, almost three months on, the Queen's cousin, the

:05:49. > :05:53.Duke of Gloucester and the Duchess, visited the local council to praise

:05:53. > :05:58.them and emergency workers for their response. I would just like

:05:58. > :06:04.to congratulate all of you for proving that Gloucester is a

:06:04. > :06:11.community that works and works very quickly and rapidly when we have

:06:11. > :06:15.Almost a dozen local stores were targeted on that balmy august night.

:06:15. > :06:18.16 people have been charged. One has just received a year in prison,

:06:18. > :06:23.others are awaiting to hear their fate. In Bristol, the other West

:06:27. > :06:30.Opportunists and anarchists, according to the city council. This

:06:31. > :06:39.jewellery store lost a �13,000 window. A further �8000 worth of

:06:39. > :06:45.watches and jewellery disappeared into the pockets of looters. During

:06:45. > :06:50.the period they were fixing up the shop, we had the front boarded up

:06:50. > :06:55.and we had plexiglass installed. The shop looked like it was being

:06:55. > :07:00.fitted again or had shut down. We lost a bit of trade that period as

:07:00. > :07:06.well. But we are getting it back together. People are aware we are

:07:15. > :07:21.West with Alex and Chris. Coming up in tonight's programme... Remember

:07:21. > :07:28.Joy Adamson and Elsa? Well not only could she raise lion cubs, she was

:07:28. > :07:31.also a talented artist. We've been to a new exhibition of her work.

:07:31. > :07:38.And finally a win for Bristol City, but there's no time to draw breath

:07:38. > :07:42.before they face West Ham tomorrow A 30 year old man from London has

:07:42. > :07:46.appeared in court charged with the murder of Rico Gordon in Bristol in

:07:46. > :07:49.July. Rico who was 21 and also from London was shot in the street on

:07:49. > :07:54.the Stapleton Road. Shaka Anderson from Notting Hill was remanded in

:07:54. > :07:57.custody until a bail hearing on Wednesday. The company which wants

:07:57. > :08:01.to build another nuclear power station in Somerset has submitted

:08:01. > :08:04.its planning application. EDF Energy wants to build Hinkley C,

:08:04. > :08:06.which it says would generate about 6% of Britain's energy needs.The

:08:06. > :08:09.30,000 page bid has been handed to the Infrastructure Planning

:08:09. > :08:19.Commission which has 28 days to decide if it wants to examine the

:08:19. > :08:24.

:08:24. > :08:29.application and make a A small camp has been set up in

:08:29. > :08:32.Queen Square in Bath. Organisers of "occupy" say they're supporting the

:08:32. > :08:38.aims of similar protests on College Green in Bristol and outside St

:08:38. > :08:44.Paul's Cathedral in London. Bath and North East Somerset Council say

:08:44. > :08:50.they are 'monitoring' the situation. The camp currently has around 8 to

:08:50. > :08:53.After his conviction last Friday for the murder of Jo Yeates, it was

:08:53. > :08:56.revealed that Vincent Tabak had led a secret life involving violent

:08:56. > :09:04.pornography and prostitutes. As he begins a life sentence, tonight's

:09:04. > :09:08.Inside Out West has a special report on the murder trial. Here is

:09:08. > :09:13.our correspondent. The Secret Life of Vincent Tabak. It only came to

:09:13. > :09:19.light at the end of the trial. You have had an exclusive interview

:09:19. > :09:25.with his lawyer. What has he said? He was convicted despite the fact

:09:25. > :09:28.the jury were not told anything about his obsession with

:09:28. > :09:33.prostitutes and hardcore pornography. The prosecution lost

:09:33. > :09:39.this argument that it should present this material to the jury.

:09:39. > :09:45.We have been talking to his lawyer about that legal battle. That is

:09:45. > :09:50.the crux of this. Despite the fact that the law has been changed and

:09:50. > :09:53.allows the jurors to here what is called bad character. Sometimes

:09:53. > :09:58.people think because we have got some bad character and

:09:58. > :10:04.reprehensible behaviour, people sometimes think it must be included.

:10:04. > :10:08.It does not follow. It has to give in to prove a point. Even if

:10:08. > :10:13.admissible, we have got another test about whether or not it is

:10:13. > :10:17.prejudicial and would have derailed a fair trial. We did not actually

:10:17. > :10:22.get to that particular argument. But it clearly would have been

:10:22. > :10:28.prejudicial. It did not actually go towards what actually happened

:10:28. > :10:34.within that period. You have also been talking to the family of Jo

:10:34. > :10:39.Yeates. How has it affected them? It has a tremendous intensity, this

:10:39. > :10:44.story. It will not go away. It centres on the family of Vincent

:10:44. > :10:49.Tabak as well. We have been speaking to Jo Yeates's father.

:10:49. > :10:52.They are coming to terms with how they feel about it. He says it is

:10:52. > :10:56.right but his interest in pornography was not put towards the

:10:56. > :11:04.jury. He and his wife are not certain it contributed to what

:11:04. > :11:08.happened. Chris, the brother agrees with what has been told that it

:11:08. > :11:13.could have prejudiced the outcome and even lead to an appeal. What

:11:13. > :11:18.about the suggestion that he was involved in other crimes? During

:11:18. > :11:24.the trial, again with the jury out, we had a legal debate and

:11:24. > :11:27.discussion. The prosecution said they would pursue other avenues in

:11:27. > :11:32.relation to Vincent Tabak. I have been talking to the police about

:11:32. > :11:38.what might or might not happen in relation to further charges. More

:11:38. > :11:43.about that at 7:30pm on Inside Out tonight. The Gloucestershire based

:11:43. > :11:48.university admissions body, UCAS says it favours a system where

:11:48. > :11:51.students apply to university after getting their exam results. It

:11:52. > :12:01.means exams being taken several weeks earlier to allow time for

:12:01. > :12:05.At the moment, teenagers choose a universities before sitting A-

:12:05. > :12:12.levels. They are given a target. Some meet them, some exceed and

:12:12. > :12:18.some fall short, sparking an anxious de days of finding a place.

:12:18. > :12:23.But UCAS thinks that should change to a system where students apply

:12:23. > :12:28.after their results are published. Only about 10% of applicants have

:12:28. > :12:34.got correctly predicted grades. Some of these applicants have to

:12:34. > :12:38.have predictions between five and eight months before exams. We are

:12:38. > :12:44.getting changes and we are getting government policies. The economic

:12:44. > :12:47.climate means we have to look for efficiencies. Just down the road is

:12:47. > :12:52.the University of Gloucestershire. What do young people here make of

:12:53. > :12:56.the proposals? This was my first choice anyway but I have got

:12:56. > :13:01.friends that apply for places where they did not get the grades. It is

:13:01. > :13:07.more realistic. You can apply for the ones you are likely to get.

:13:07. > :13:13.think by bringing the A-level exam results back by a few weeks, I

:13:13. > :13:16.think that it's... A lot more pressure on students to do well but

:13:16. > :13:21.a lot more pressure to revise quickly as well and that is not

:13:21. > :13:26.going to get the best out of people. It gives people the chance to make

:13:26. > :13:29.a decision based on proven capabilities instead of theoretical

:13:30. > :13:36.capabilities that they might not meet at all and it is essentially a

:13:36. > :13:40.big life choice. UCAS facilitates almost 700 thousand like the choice

:13:40. > :13:44.is every year. If the system is adopted, exams could take place

:13:44. > :13:54.earlier. University open days and admissions would change radically

:13:54. > :13:55.

:13:55. > :14:01.it. But after 50 years, UCAS Let's move on to sport and, with

:14:01. > :14:04.the latest, here is David. Tomorrow, Bristol City travel to

:14:04. > :14:09.London for a game that will test their new manager and his plans for

:14:09. > :14:14.the team he took charge of 11 days ago. Bristol City play West Ham,

:14:14. > :14:18.who were still playing Premier League football in May, but City go

:14:18. > :14:20.into the game after their second win of the season on Saturday and

:14:20. > :14:24.their first under new boss Derek McInnes.

:14:24. > :14:29.He is not getting carried away by one result, but Derek McInnes is up

:14:29. > :14:36.and running, building confidence, the buzzwords at today's press

:14:36. > :14:40.corps, as his players learn how to win again. The result was City's

:14:40. > :14:44.first success in two months, but they are bottom of the table,

:14:44. > :14:48.heading to West Ham. You want to make sure we prepare properly for

:14:48. > :14:53.the game. We are looking to go there and make a good account of

:14:54. > :14:57.ourselves. We are not just going to enjoy the day. We have a lot of

:14:57. > :15:04.support travelling down. It is a fixture people are looking forward

:15:04. > :15:09.to. At the same time, it is a chance to pick up points. McInnes's

:15:09. > :15:13.direct and honest style has gone down well with his players.

:15:13. > :15:18.Goalkeeper David James is impressed with his new boss, actually a year

:15:18. > :15:24.his junior. Managers are getting younger these days! It is about him

:15:24. > :15:31.as a person, not ages. I like his philosophy on football. He is clear,

:15:31. > :15:36.which is important, and he doesn't mind say what he feels. For the

:15:36. > :15:41.players, they are going to know why and he gives them the right

:15:41. > :15:45.information to help us go forward. Fans will hope he can continue to

:15:45. > :15:50.get the best out of Nicky Maynard, after the striker returned to form

:15:50. > :15:55.in dramatic style at Barnsley. ability to score goals, just making

:15:55. > :15:59.sure we get them. We get good service into him and get him

:15:59. > :16:07.playing at the top of his game. A confident Nicky Maynard is a real

:16:07. > :16:11.asset. And, he hopes, a real threat to West Ham.

:16:11. > :16:15.Cheltenham Town have announced that one of their under 16 players has

:16:15. > :16:20.been killed after being in a collision with a car while jogging.

:16:20. > :16:23.Marcus Powell was jogging at the weekend when the accident happened.

:16:23. > :16:28.The club have asked that his family's privacy should be

:16:28. > :16:32.respected. Six Olympic and Paralympic teams

:16:32. > :16:37.have so far chosen to base their training camps in the West ahead of

:16:37. > :16:42.next year's London games, but what was it that attracted their elite

:16:42. > :16:47.athletes? In Bristol and Gloucester, it was the already established

:16:47. > :16:56.links with the people of Kenya and Malawi that helped secure the

:16:56. > :17:01.prestigious honour. The joy of discovering a new sport,

:17:01. > :17:05.on pitches built by Bristol students. It is all thanks to a new

:17:05. > :17:09.partnership between the City and Kenya, one which hopes to give

:17:09. > :17:13.these villagers a future as well as the trip of a lifetime for the

:17:13. > :17:19.students. I think I have sort of become a bit more responsible. I

:17:19. > :17:26.have got a bit more confident -- a lot more confident in myself. Yes,

:17:26. > :17:30.they have definitely changed me. Bob Reeves set up the Bristol-

:17:30. > :17:36.Kenyan partnership after years of organising trips there. The Kenyans,

:17:36. > :17:41.led by a double Olympic gold winner, have become firm friends of Bristol.

:17:41. > :17:45.It was Bob's phone call which earned at Bristol the UK's first

:17:45. > :17:50.training camp agreement. He said, nobody has approached us with

:17:50. > :17:54.anything like this, in the past, people have said, come and use our

:17:54. > :18:00.facilities, and that has been it. He said, I liked the idea of

:18:00. > :18:05.engaging people more. University of Gloucestershire also

:18:05. > :18:14.has successful links with Africa. Students travelled to Mullaly every

:18:14. > :18:19.year, where they work teaching games. -- Mullaly. They may not be

:18:19. > :18:25.Michael Jordans. We are aiming their, to keep them off drugs, to

:18:25. > :18:29.keep them in school. This year, the university accepted their first

:18:29. > :18:34.students from allow we to study. Sam and Ruth are looking forward to

:18:34. > :18:42.welcoming their Olympic heroes in 2012. In it will be great for us,

:18:42. > :18:47.to have some friends coming over. That makes us excited. With strong

:18:47. > :18:55.friendships already building, there athletes can expect great support

:18:55. > :18:59.here and from those watching back home.

:18:59. > :19:03.The Bath-based bobsleigh competitor Serita Shone will have a second

:19:03. > :19:09.operation on her back tomorrow as she continues her recovery from an

:19:09. > :19:12.accident during practice in Germany. She had bones in her back pinned in

:19:12. > :19:16.operation last Wednesday. She has feeling and movement in her legs,

:19:16. > :19:21.but officials say it is too early to say how complete her recovery

:19:21. > :19:26.will be. We are in regular contact with officials in Germany and we

:19:26. > :19:31.will bring you details of Serita's progress.

:19:31. > :19:35.Let's hope it goes well. Joy Adamson is perhaps best known

:19:35. > :19:41.as a conservationist and as the inspiration for the Oscar-winning

:19:41. > :19:46.movie Born Free, about the orphaned lion S Else, but she was also a

:19:46. > :19:51.talented artist. Now a selection of her watercolours, which have been

:19:51. > :19:59.hidden in a vault in Cheltenham for four decades, is going on display.

:19:59. > :20:04.Joy Adamson, with the lion that was such a passion in her life. The

:20:04. > :20:09.book Born Free told the story of the lion cub Else and it was made

:20:09. > :20:14.into an award-winning film, but Joy was also an excellent artist and

:20:14. > :20:20.some of her paintings, in storage for decades, are now on show.

:20:20. > :20:26.would have liked to see them, and the fact her work had lived on. I

:20:26. > :20:32.don't think that she realised just how good she was. The exhibition

:20:32. > :20:36.celebrates the 50 years since the book Born Free was published. It's

:20:36. > :20:40.hoped the exhibition will help the Else Conservation Trust, set up by

:20:40. > :20:45.Joy, and it is helping with the plight of the African lion. Also

:20:45. > :20:50.working for the trust is John Rendall, now a YouTube phenomenon,

:20:50. > :20:55.with millions watching the moment he was reunited with a lie-in he

:20:55. > :20:59.had once owned. The awareness out there of that wonderful lion, but

:20:59. > :21:06.also the increased awareness that it helps us to promote the dangers

:21:06. > :21:10.and threats to the environment today, so much so that we wouldn't

:21:10. > :21:15.have been able to imagine the crisis situation with wildlife

:21:15. > :21:20.today, but they were the first ones to flag it up 50 years ago.

:21:20. > :21:24.paintings on show at 80 -- Ellenborough Park until next

:21:24. > :21:29.Tuesday. They are beautiful. I don't know if

:21:29. > :21:33.my car is on the blink, but it's the monitor said 16 degrees today.

:21:33. > :21:37.That's hotter than some days in August!

:21:37. > :21:42.If it is, mind is on the blink as well, because it said similar. It

:21:42. > :21:45.has been one of the warmest Octobers in memory, with an

:21:45. > :21:50.extended feast of autumnal colour, but de landscape could well be

:21:50. > :21:53.about to change. With a last look at autumn and

:22:10. > :22:15.You know, I don't think I can add a lot to that, except to say that

:22:15. > :22:20.this is Stourhead. Probably the person who knows it best is its

:22:20. > :22:25.head gardener, Allen. It has been quite a nice autumn, because it has

:22:25. > :22:30.been so long, so we can enjoy it for longer. I'd get a great picture

:22:30. > :22:34.of all the seasons, and part of me moves into the next phase. I'm

:22:34. > :22:38.watching this fantastic display behind us, knowing that in three

:22:38. > :22:43.weeks there could be snow on the ground and the landscape will be a

:22:43. > :22:48.different colour. I get as excited about that and my mind wanders. I

:22:48. > :22:52.love working here but I love sharing the place. One of the ways

:22:52. > :22:58.Alan has been sharing the garden is by talking about it every year on

:22:58. > :23:02.Radio 4. Now the PM programme has commissioned a slide show of images

:23:02. > :23:07.to accompany his words. questions were geared towards the

:23:07. > :23:10.photographs as well, so it works together. I have an uncle in

:23:10. > :23:15.Trinidad who has seen the slide show, because he knew I was going

:23:15. > :23:19.to do it and my mum sent it to him. He thought it was amazing. The

:23:19. > :23:24.important thing about autumn is you do not treat it as one single day.

:23:24. > :23:29.To appreciate the qualities autumn has to offer, you have to see it

:23:29. > :23:35.arriving, see it looking its best and see it fade away. Autumn

:23:35. > :23:39.doesn't just last for a single day but a snapshot, a moment in time,

:23:39. > :23:44.like those photos, can tell us a lot about life and also the world

:23:44. > :23:51.as it exists today. That is what we would like your help with. It is

:23:51. > :23:56.for project called Britain in a Day, to help us to tell the story of

:23:56. > :24:00.Britain on a single day. Today at Stourhead, leaves change colour.

:24:00. > :24:05.Joe on the gate welcomed in more than 600 visitors. The gardening

:24:05. > :24:10.staff help keep the Laurel in good condition. That was Stourhead today,

:24:10. > :24:15.but what about yours? The day in question is Saturday November 12th.

:24:15. > :24:22.We would like you to fill more to the ordering. Talk about how you

:24:22. > :24:26.are feeling that day, described in words and pictures York November

:24:26. > :24:31.12th. It doesn't need to be professional but it should be real,

:24:32. > :24:36.honest and heartfelt. Your footage could form part of a unique film

:24:36. > :24:41.examining all aspects of British life on that day. To get involved,

:24:41. > :24:51.there is a leaflet which will tell you more. If you prefer, you can go

:24:51. > :24:55.

:24:55. > :24:58.online. Get a thinking, get filming and good luck. Then I like the idea

:24:58. > :25:04.of that. We thought we would get into the

:25:04. > :25:09.Hallowe'en nude with a few pictures of these pumpkins at Bristol Zoo. -

:25:09. > :25:16.- the Hallowe'en mood. These work done by children, I

:25:16. > :25:19.think. When I did it, it was a mess. I wonder if we have evil weather

:25:19. > :25:24.spirits. Rain on the way, albeit later. I

:25:24. > :25:28.don't think it will catch all the trick or treaters out. Midweek, as

:25:28. > :25:33.we lose the chlorophyll from the leaves, we will also lose their

:25:33. > :25:38.leaves as it turns windier. For tomorrow, sunny spells and mainly

:25:38. > :25:43.dry, with light winds. A cold front on the way, introducing some heavy

:25:43. > :25:48.and squally rain from this frontal system. That is easing its way

:25:49. > :25:55.eastwards, arriving close to the borders with West Somerset, near

:25:55. > :25:59.Lynmouth now. The Met Office computer picks up nicely on the

:25:59. > :26:06.positioning of this, giving us confidence in the timing of this on

:26:06. > :26:13.its way eastwards. Gusts of 30-35 mph. Hippy rain over a short space

:26:13. > :26:18.of time, then trundling out to the east. -- heavy rain. The skies

:26:18. > :26:22.clearing but not sufficiently to give a chilly night. 8-9 Celsius.

:26:22. > :26:27.Tomorrow, we pick up on the theme of a good deal of sunshine for many

:26:27. > :26:33.of us. Overhanging cloud from that Front to start things off in

:26:33. > :26:38.Wiltshire. One or two showers. A low probability of these. Most

:26:38. > :26:42.districts dry with a fair amount of sunshine and light winds. That is

:26:42. > :26:47.how things will remain into the evening. Quite a pleasant feel for

:26:47. > :26:51.this time of year, 14 or 15 Celsius. Not so pleasant in the north-

:26:51. > :26:57.eastern parts of the US of late, with a winter storm you might have

:26:57. > :27:02.seen about. That is going out into the Atlantic. It gets modified over

:27:02. > :27:07.the Atlantic, this no threat does, but it arrives to us on Wednesday

:27:08. > :27:15.and Thursday. -- ft snow threat. The potential for some heavy rain

:27:15. > :27:19.and strong winds. This is how the graphics tend to paint that story.

:27:19. > :27:23.Temperatures still mild. The rain will arrive late on Wednesday. It

:27:23. > :27:30.will set in overnight on Thursday. Then a regime of some heavy,

:27:30. > :27:36.thundery showers on Thursday. An interlude into Friday. The good
