:00:11. > :00:15.Hello, and welcome to BBC Points West. In the headlines tonight:

:00:15. > :00:19.Tough deal for Aviva workers in the run-up to Christmas. Four out of

:00:19. > :00:22.five of the Bristol insurance staff are to lose their jobs.

:00:22. > :00:28.Threat to youth services in North Somerset, we are live from a

:00:28. > :00:30.meeting to discuss where the axe may fall.

:00:30. > :00:39.Also tonight, the unexpected surprise in a bag of pre-washed

:00:39. > :00:42.lettuce. She thought she was digging into

:00:42. > :00:45.one of the darker leaves only to find a dead bird.

:00:45. > :00:55.And sleep-over for new dads, the hospital allowing fathers to stay

:00:55. > :00:58.with their babies all night wins Good evening.

:00:58. > :01:04.Almost 400 people look set to lose their jobs after the insurance

:01:04. > :01:07.giant Aviva confirmed plans today to close its offices in Bristol. An

:01:07. > :01:10.announcement was made to staff this morning following the end of a

:01:10. > :01:12.joint venture with the Royal Bank of Scotland.

:01:13. > :01:16.A small number of specialist positions will be kept but most

:01:16. > :01:21.staff will begin leaving from the middle of next year. Will Glennon

:01:21. > :01:25.reports. This is the building that houses

:01:25. > :01:30.Aviva staff. Offices dedicated to a joint venture with Royal Bank of

:01:30. > :01:38.Scotland, a venture that is coming to an end. It was here that 384

:01:38. > :01:41.people found out their employment would not be continuing. There has

:01:41. > :01:44.been little reaction here today, but the union Unite has said it is

:01:44. > :01:49.appalled by the announcement. It says its members will be stunned as

:01:49. > :01:52.they are facing a very uncertain future. 60 specialist underwriting

:01:52. > :01:55.jobs will stay, the rest will be phased out, starting in the second

:01:55. > :02:05.half of next year, as business is moved to York, Norwich and

:02:05. > :02:16.

:02:16. > :02:19.Sheffield. In a statement today, There is perhaps never a good time

:02:19. > :02:22.to be made redundant, but with the economy mired in a downturn and

:02:22. > :02:29.Christmas just around the corner, the timing of this surely has to be

:02:29. > :02:32.one of the worst. If you look at the jobs section of the Aviva

:02:32. > :02:34.website, it says they are such a big financial organisation that

:02:34. > :02:39.they can offer the kind of employment stability that others

:02:39. > :02:47.can't. And yet today, almost 400 people here have been told they are

:02:47. > :02:51.going to lose their jobs. And tomorrow we will find out how

:02:51. > :02:53.many people are now out of work across the West Country. Companies

:02:53. > :02:59.and experts alike expect unemployment to rise, as it has

:02:59. > :03:01.been since the summer. We will have full analysis of the

:03:01. > :03:11.situation in tomorrow night's programme and hear from some

:03:11. > :03:12.

:03:12. > :03:15.inspiring young people about their hopes for the future.

:03:15. > :03:18.A multi-million pound plan for the future of the West's rail network

:03:18. > :03:20.was unveiled today by the new man in charge. His vision could see two

:03:20. > :03:23.more platforms at Bristol's historic Temple Meads station, an

:03:23. > :03:27.upgrade of signalling equipment across the region and improvements

:03:27. > :03:32.in punctuality. From 2013, the rail line from London to Bristol will be

:03:32. > :03:38.electrified. And as John Maguire reports, that is something Network

:03:38. > :03:42.Rail is hoping to capitalise on. We are travelling by rail in

:03:42. > :03:47.numbers not seen since the 1920s. Demand is like a runaway train, and

:03:47. > :03:50.the rail industry is desperately trying to keep up. So there are

:03:50. > :03:53.grand plans on the line ahead, all designed to ensure the West's

:03:53. > :03:57.railway network can cope with a predicted 50% increase in traveller

:03:57. > :04:06.numbers in the not-too-distant future. And passengers are clear

:04:06. > :04:10.about their priorities. Capacity, capacity, and more capacity.

:04:10. > :04:15.Capacity, because there is enormous growth taking place in rail usage

:04:15. > :04:19.in this part of the world, and to enable us to relieve congestion on

:04:20. > :04:24.the roads. Until we have a decent rail system, people will stick on

:04:24. > :04:28.the roads. Dealing with the lack of seats on the trains. At the moment,

:04:28. > :04:32.going to London, Paddington has more overcrowded trains than any

:04:32. > :04:35.other London station. There is a long list of projects ahead, and

:04:35. > :04:38.the biggest difference should come with what is called the "spark

:04:38. > :04:41.effect" - the electrification of the line from London to Cardiff. It

:04:41. > :04:43.means that stations off the main route will not benefit at first,

:04:43. > :04:45.but hundreds of millions will be spent redoubling the Swindon to

:04:45. > :04:47.Kemble line. There will be improvements at Gloucester,

:04:47. > :04:56.Cheltenham and Taunton, and crucially Bristol Temple Meads,

:04:56. > :05:00.where even the Victorian roof has not hampered the blue-sky thinking.

:05:00. > :05:04.Here is one idea being looked at Temple Meads. This is a car fight

:05:04. > :05:11.at the moment but if they want to get people out of these and back

:05:11. > :05:14.onto rails, what about turning back the clock? This, obviously the old

:05:14. > :05:18.platform and I am standing on what was once the line. Could trains

:05:18. > :05:21.return to this part of the station? There is history everywhere you

:05:21. > :05:25.look here, but it is Network Rail's job to look ahead, and crucially

:05:25. > :05:31.make sure it keeps up with passengers' demands. I am not going

:05:31. > :05:34.to pretend it will be seen as every day from now until 2019, but I can

:05:34. > :05:37.promise the results of the investment process will be

:05:37. > :05:43.absolutely worth it. A bold promise that rail travellers will test and

:05:43. > :05:49.demand is honoured. A former teacher has gone on trial

:05:49. > :05:52.accused of 19 sex offences with young girls. Philip Barlow, a youth

:05:52. > :05:58.leader at the Grace Bible Church in Saltford, near Keynsham, is alleged

:05:58. > :06:01.to have assaulted the girls between 2002 and 2009. The jury at Bristol

:06:01. > :06:06.Crown Court heard prosecution claims that both the defendant and

:06:06. > :06:11.certain members of the church attempted to cover up the offences.

:06:11. > :06:13.He pleads not guilty. Police are appealing for help in

:06:13. > :06:17.finding a woman from Weston-super- Mare who has been missing since

:06:17. > :06:22.last week. 28-year-old Jennifer Alder was last seen in the town

:06:22. > :06:28.last Thursday. Officers say they are worried as her disappearance is

:06:28. > :06:32.totally out of character. If you are eating your dinner, you

:06:32. > :06:37.may wish to push it to one side for a moment as you think about what

:06:37. > :06:40.the worst thing you have ever found in your food was? A hair, perhaps?

:06:40. > :06:44.One man from Somerset got quite a shock when he settled down to pizza

:06:44. > :06:47.on Saturday evening, and found a dead bird in the salad bowl. He

:06:47. > :06:50.says it had come from a supermarket-bought bag of salad.

:06:50. > :06:57.And what's worse, his family had already eaten half of it. Andrew

:06:57. > :06:59.Plant reports. As Paul Streeter cooked Saturday

:06:59. > :07:08.night pizzas, his children and girlfriend Julia had already tucked

:07:08. > :07:18.into their pre-washed ready-to-eat salad. All of a sudden, strict

:07:18. > :07:19.

:07:19. > :07:23.vegetarian Julia got a seriously nasty surprise. Suddenly, my

:07:23. > :07:27.girlfriend shrieked and could not believe what she had found on her

:07:27. > :07:32.plate. She had ladled the salad from the ball on to her plate and

:07:32. > :07:36.thought she was digging into one of the darker leaves, only to find,

:07:36. > :07:45.basically, a dead bird. Paul kept the remaining salad and bird

:07:45. > :07:49.outside the house. I wasn't going to leave the bird in the house, so

:07:49. > :07:59.I put it in the garage, which is quite cold. And if you are eating,

:07:59. > :08:00.

:08:00. > :08:06.look away now. There, as you can see, is our bad Ed Friend. Not so

:08:06. > :08:08.fair that any more. -- feathered friend. The family immediately

:08:08. > :08:10.contacted the Tesco store in Burnham-on-Sea. Today the company

:08:10. > :08:14.said: "We take matters of this kind

:08:14. > :08:16.extremely seriously. Our suppliers have robust systems in place to

:08:16. > :08:26.prevent foreign objects getting into products. We will be

:08:26. > :08:26.

:08:26. > :08:30.investigating this incident and I could not believe my eyes. I was

:08:30. > :08:34.more concerned about the health of my family, they had eaten the salad,

:08:34. > :08:41.I had not, but they had munched through what was a tasty salad that

:08:41. > :08:43.had been prepared by me. The smart money would go on a baby starling.

:08:43. > :08:47.Meanwhile, the Streeter household will be carefully washing all its

:08:47. > :08:55.salad in future, to make sure they never again get a little bit more

:08:55. > :09:00.than they bargained for. Well, apologies if you are eating

:09:00. > :09:10.right now. But if you aren't and want to take a closer look at that

:09:10. > :09:10.

:09:10. > :09:14.bird, log onto bbc.co.uk/bristol. Bon appetit!

:09:14. > :09:22.Stay with us for now, though, as we have got much more still to bring

:09:22. > :09:26.you, including: You cannot go over it all under it, we investigate why

:09:26. > :09:31.this bridge over the River Bath is creating waves amongst boat owners.

:09:31. > :09:37.And with three days to go we hear how many from Children In Need can

:09:38. > :09:40.help special girls like Ali. -- like telly.

:09:40. > :09:43.First, there have been noisy protests this evening as North

:09:43. > :09:47.Somerset Council meets to debate another round of cuts. There is

:09:47. > :09:49.anger over job losses as well as a threat to the future of the area's

:09:49. > :09:55.youth clubs. Our political editor Paul Barltrop joins us from outside

:09:55. > :10:02.the council offices in Weston- super-Mare.

:10:02. > :10:06.What sort of cuts are bringing protesters out on a chilly night

:10:06. > :10:10.like this? A big crowd of protesters here,

:10:10. > :10:14.they are keeping quiet at the moment, because the action has

:10:14. > :10:18.moved indoors, into the council chamber, when North Somerset are

:10:18. > :10:23.discussing the serious business of cutting the budget by �14 million.

:10:23. > :10:33.It will be a big challenge, it will be difficult, but as councillors

:10:33. > :10:34.

:10:34. > :10:42.arrived for this evening's meeting, they were met by a noisy protest.

:10:42. > :10:46.Youth Club! Youth club! The young people were protesting

:10:46. > :10:50.about what is happening to use services in North Somerset. Joining

:10:50. > :10:57.in were union members worried about what is happening to their jobs,

:10:57. > :11:00.there is a pay freeze, 160 posts are going, but the loudest voices

:11:00. > :11:04.are these young people from North Somerset who have come along to

:11:04. > :11:09.lobby councillors. The opposition has come most strongly from one

:11:09. > :11:14.place, Portishead Youth Centre. They are determined it will not be

:11:14. > :11:19.their last dance. Portishead Youth Centre is the right thing. It has

:11:19. > :11:24.350 members and is one of the best in the West, and just benefited

:11:24. > :11:28.from a million-pound refurbishment. There are not many places to go,

:11:28. > :11:34.but since it was read done it is like a new high and four at the one.

:11:34. > :11:38.It is fun, a place to hang out with two or friends -- it is like a new

:11:38. > :11:42.home for everyone. So there were shocked when they learned of plans

:11:42. > :11:46.to close the youth service. Most of the million-pound budget will go

:11:46. > :11:53.and youth workers will lose their jobs. A campaign is underway to a

:11:53. > :11:58.pose that. I was disappointed in north Somerset council. I heard

:11:58. > :12:02.they were going to take this away, I was disappointed to be a part of

:12:02. > :12:06.North Somerset. The Conservative Front administration insists they

:12:06. > :12:11.do not want to make these cuts but with council tax frozen, government

:12:11. > :12:15.funding being could yet again, services such as caring for the

:12:15. > :12:20.elderly are being given priority. Our job is to do the best job

:12:20. > :12:24.possible and reduce the affects of the cuts which are coming, and that

:12:24. > :12:28.is the important story to get out of the public. There will be

:12:28. > :12:32.difficult decisions, there will be reductions in services they have

:12:32. > :12:38.got used to over the years, but we will do everything in our power to

:12:38. > :12:42.plan ahead to reduce the effect of those cuts. They hope youth centres

:12:42. > :12:47.like Portishead's can stay open by being taken over by others. Talks

:12:47. > :12:51.have been held with councillors. Teenagers from the club are

:12:51. > :12:56.demanding a rethink. Other councillors likely to be

:12:56. > :13:00.influenced by the protests? -- are the councillors?

:13:00. > :13:04.We will have to wait and see, but some of the young people have had

:13:04. > :13:09.the chance to address the meeting and put their points to it, but it

:13:09. > :13:12.comes against a backdrop of a severe financial situation in North

:13:12. > :13:16.Somerset. Funding from the government is going down. This

:13:16. > :13:21.place has changed enormously in the last three years, there are many

:13:21. > :13:24.fewer staff, we have seen a pay freeze on going for a couple of

:13:25. > :13:29.beers, conditions have changed for staff. I talked to some unions

:13:29. > :13:34.earlier, and they say morale is poor. The mood is not good because

:13:34. > :13:37.they have not had a pay rise for four years, and when it comes down

:13:37. > :13:43.to it they are reorganising services within the council, which

:13:43. > :13:48.will mean job losses. They all are in fear of losing their jobs, all

:13:48. > :13:55.working very hard for less money, and basically doing more work for

:13:55. > :13:59.We have heard more about North Somerset making cuts than many

:13:59. > :14:04.other councils, why is that? It is not that North Somerset is

:14:04. > :14:08.doing anything exceptional. Most councils are all will be doing

:14:08. > :14:12.similar things. One of the reasons we hear more about North Somerset

:14:12. > :14:16.is that they have been ahead of the pack, but if you look at some

:14:16. > :14:20.neighbouring councils, Somerset County Council just down the road,

:14:20. > :14:24.Gloucestershire County Council a little way north of fear, they, too,

:14:24. > :14:28.are closing youth centres, withdrawing funding, but that has

:14:28. > :14:32.been overshadowed by libraries, where they have been cutting the

:14:32. > :14:36.funding and there has been a bigger legal challenge. We will find out

:14:36. > :14:41.tomorrow whether that legal challenge has succeeded and we will

:14:41. > :14:45.hear whether that can go a head. Thank you. We will hear how that

:14:45. > :14:49.A four-day public inquiry has begun into one of the biggest

:14:49. > :14:52.developments ever planned for Swindon. The proposal to build

:14:52. > :14:54.almost 900 homes close to Coate Water Park has angered many locals

:14:54. > :15:04.and was rejected by the council. The developers, Persimmon and

:15:04. > :15:07.Redrow, are appealing against the decision.

:15:07. > :15:09.The Football: And both Yeovil Town and Bristol Rovers will bank over

:15:09. > :15:10.�70,000 each after their FA Cup second-round ties were picked for

:15:10. > :15:12.live television. Yeovil's away game at Conference

:15:12. > :15:14.Premier side Fleetwood Town has been switched to Friday 2nd

:15:15. > :15:24.December. Bristol Rovers tie at AFC Totton, who play three divisions

:15:25. > :15:27.

:15:27. > :15:30.below them, will be televised on Sunday 4th December.

:15:30. > :15:33.Boat and lock keepers in Bath are warning there'll be major problems

:15:33. > :15:38.for river users if repairs to a crumbling footbridge over the River

:15:38. > :15:42.Avon are not completed soon. The council closed the city's Victoria

:15:42. > :15:50.Bridge to pedestrians last year. Now, due to further fears about

:15:50. > :15:54.safety, boats are being stopped from going underneath, too.

:15:54. > :15:57.You can't go over it. And now, you can't go under it either. Since

:15:57. > :16:02.Friday, these bright orange buoys have been a red light for those on

:16:03. > :16:06.the river. It was an absolute emergency. The

:16:06. > :16:11.council said the bridge is about to fall down, so we had to shut the

:16:11. > :16:14.navigation instantly and that's what caught everybody out.

:16:14. > :16:17.Now, this has happened before, but it is pretty rare normally,

:16:17. > :16:22.especially because the bridge is inspected quite a lot, we get a bit

:16:22. > :16:25.more notice than this. They claim they didn't get more notice, which

:16:25. > :16:29.meant this man was one of those caught out. Frustrated and angry

:16:29. > :16:34.both at the closure of the bridge and the fact, he says, it's not a

:16:34. > :16:37.new problem. It means the end of life on the

:16:37. > :16:40.river until they reopen it. They've had long enough to solve this

:16:40. > :16:44.problem. I, as the river champion, have been pushing for this and

:16:44. > :16:47.telling them for so long, many years, that the river is in decay.

:16:47. > :16:49.It's been totally ignored. It's disgraceful.

:16:49. > :16:54.And there's concern the bridge closure could cause wider problems,

:16:54. > :16:59.too. This is the point where the Kennet and Avon Canal joins the

:16:59. > :17:01.Avon, about a mile and a half from Victoria Bridge. The bridge's

:17:01. > :17:08.closure means boats heading east and joining the river are

:17:09. > :17:18.effectively left with nowhere to go. Even so, this is work that badly

:17:19. > :17:20.

:17:20. > :17:22.needs doing. What we've had to do in the meantime is close the river

:17:22. > :17:26.to boats unfortunately, but that's absolutely essential for public

:17:26. > :17:29.safety. The council says the bridge is likely to remain closed to river

:17:29. > :17:35.traffic for a month. Those on boats, barges and anything in between will

:17:35. > :17:42.be watching closely. One of the West's hospitals is

:17:42. > :17:45.being held up as a national example of how to support new dads. The

:17:45. > :17:48.Royal United Hospital in Bath has been running a pilot scheme for the

:17:48. > :17:52.past 18 months, allowing partners to sleep over after their baby's

:17:52. > :18:00.birth. Now their work has been recognised in a new guide, launched

:18:00. > :18:05.by the Royal College of Midwives, at their annual conference today.

:18:05. > :18:07.Around 10 are born here at the Princess Anne wing every day. But

:18:07. > :18:11.in most hospitals, partners have to leave after 9:00pm, whether their

:18:11. > :18:17.babies are born or not, but here they can stay, at least for the

:18:17. > :18:20.first night, on one of these fold- down chairs. And now, new

:18:20. > :18:22.government guidance has hailed this unit as a success and says its

:18:22. > :18:26.example should be copied nationally They want more support for fathers

:18:26. > :18:36.and to enable them to play a much bigger role before, during and

:18:36. > :18:52.

:18:52. > :19:00.Look after the baby. The idea is that they help their wife.

:19:00. > :19:06.partner had to have an epidural. I was here to support her. I was here

:19:06. > :19:08.to give her a hand. It's working. It's all about making

:19:08. > :19:11.fathers feel less excluded. Well, the hospital plans to

:19:11. > :19:13.continue with the sleepovers and even extend on the amount of beds

:19:13. > :19:16.available. Joining us now is one family who

:19:16. > :19:21.has been on national television and radio today, talking about their

:19:21. > :19:24.experience at the RUH in Bath. We have with us Ed and Emily McKenzie

:19:24. > :19:34.and their children, Amelie, who's 18 months old and Jack, who's just

:19:34. > :19:37.

:19:37. > :19:39.five months. Ed, Amelie was born before the pilot. How differently

:19:39. > :19:49.did you feel approaching Jack's birth, knowing you would not be

:19:49. > :19:51.

:19:51. > :19:56.separated from Emily? I felts... It was one of those things where I

:19:56. > :19:59.feel it is quite important to bond with your children and to have that

:19:59. > :20:04.bombed in terms of the family. To be there through the berthing

:20:04. > :20:07.period, but also the after a period when you are doing a lot of the

:20:07. > :20:13.bonding. You have gone through nine months together and now you are

:20:14. > :20:19.told, you can go for a bit. I would rather be there. I certainly

:20:19. > :20:24.sympathise with that. I was in a similar situation with my two labs.

:20:24. > :20:28.What does it mean to you to have him there? It means everything. It

:20:28. > :20:32.is all part of the excitement that you while sharing this really

:20:32. > :20:38.special time together. You want to talk about the birth and how it has

:20:38. > :20:46.gone. Aren't we clever. We have made this little thing. They it is

:20:46. > :20:52.nice to have your biggest supporter with you. What was the set-up like?

:20:52. > :20:55.What was there for you? The shares that they have at the hospital now

:20:55. > :21:00.are what you call, somebody described them as first class

:21:00. > :21:06.flight seats. They declined, so you can sleep on them. Not that you do

:21:06. > :21:13.a lot of slipping. You can get some rest. There are pretty comfortable.

:21:13. > :21:18.Some people might say, OK, great, but adds get in the way. He wants

:21:18. > :21:22.them peace and quiet. How do you react? I think it is the opposite.

:21:22. > :21:31.I think it helps the midwives. Your husband can be there to pass you

:21:31. > :21:41.things and to get you some dudes. - - some juice. We worked as a team.

:21:41. > :21:43.

:21:43. > :21:46.You are having a baby. It is a team effort. They are so well behaved.

:21:46. > :21:49.This Friday, it's Children in Need, when we hope millions will be

:21:49. > :21:52.raised, with your generosity, for very worthy causes. Tonight, our

:21:52. > :21:57.local radio stations are already getting in the swing, hosting

:21:57. > :22:01.special screenings of Grease at cinemas across the West. And on

:22:01. > :22:07.Friday, BBC Points West is having a special fundraiser at the Pier in

:22:07. > :22:10.Weston-super-Mare. I'm going to be there with David Garmston. And

:22:10. > :22:12.David's been to meet one family, Helen and Wayne Starzec and their

:22:12. > :22:22.very special daughter, Kelly, who are already benefiting from money

:22:22. > :22:29.

:22:29. > :22:37.from Children In Need. She touches everyone's heart.

:22:37. > :22:42.Everyone that meets her love serve. This girl is only seven, yet has

:22:42. > :22:46.more illnesses than you can imagine. Two weeks before she was do, we

:22:46. > :22:51.were told. I took myself to hospital because I could not feel

:22:51. > :22:55.her moving and the hospital told me she had stopped growing and they

:22:55. > :23:01.thought the placenta had stopped growing. They rushed me to the

:23:01. > :23:07.hospital. Her family can barely leave her for a second. That is

:23:07. > :23:11.tough. They have three other children. Constantly watching her,

:23:11. > :23:18.making sure she is not fitting. Going in, having monitors watching

:23:18. > :23:27.her. We do not get much sleep. habit is at hand and her name his

:23:27. > :23:34.team there. -- Tina. She is a teen it -- a children's nurse. A grant

:23:34. > :23:39.from Children In Need pays her salary. It is lovely. I have looked

:23:39. > :23:43.after Kelly since she was a baby. Over the months and years, you do

:23:43. > :23:53.get to know her quite well. I know what she likes and does not like. I

:23:53. > :23:53.

:23:53. > :23:57.know her little ways. She supports Kelly and the rest of the family so

:23:57. > :24:07.they can lead a more normal life and make the most of Kelly, who

:24:07. > :24:10.

:24:10. > :24:14.sadly, does not have time on her side. When she has got to the age

:24:14. > :24:22.of 19, they say she will probably pass away. Every time that subject

:24:22. > :24:27.gets brought up, we Weller. There is nothing like tinsel for a bit of

:24:27. > :24:33.fun, but every year for the last three years, Children In Need has

:24:33. > :24:37.given the trust �25,000 which pays for the mist to come in and visit

:24:37. > :24:42.Kelly and other families in similar situations. The Scot -- this year,

:24:42. > :24:52.if you are thinking about giving money to Children In Need, just

:24:52. > :24:52.

:24:52. > :24:55.think about Kelly and others like her. With a school, Social Services,

:24:55. > :25:04.and Children In Need all pulling together, Kelly is able to live

:25:04. > :25:10.where she belongs, at home. understand a lot of people have not

:25:10. > :25:13.got a lot of money, but I would urge them to donate. There are

:25:13. > :25:23.families out there like s who are struggling. The more money that is

:25:23. > :25:27.

:25:28. > :25:31.raised, the more nurses can be provided.

:25:31. > :25:37.It is so worthwhile. I am really looking forward to this year.

:25:37. > :25:46.Sorry I cannot be with you. Let's turn to the weather. It is

:25:46. > :25:48.pretty cold out there. We can see you're out there on the roof

:25:48. > :25:55.wearing a Siberian something along wearing a Siberian something along

:25:56. > :25:59.those lines. It is decidedly chilly. Largely clear skies above the West

:25:59. > :26:04.Country which are ramming the temperatures to drop quite sharply.

:26:04. > :26:08.Tomorrow it will be fairly mild, but we will not see anything near

:26:09. > :26:15.the bright as we saw today. By the evening, we were lynched use some

:26:15. > :26:19.outbreaks of rain that could turn quite heavy. For the time being, we

:26:19. > :26:25.are having the cloud slipping from the south-east. It will turn

:26:25. > :26:29.progressively counties. Tomorrow, the cold front will dictation the

:26:29. > :26:35.fortunes later into the day as that it -- as that introduces the rain.

:26:35. > :26:39.It will be at its heaviest over part of Somerset. Tonight, you can

:26:39. > :26:44.see the cloud Chill moving from the south-east, replacing the clear

:26:44. > :26:48.skies. It remains dry. By dawn, then maybe some drizzle some were

:26:48. > :26:55.up in Gloucestershire, certainly some hill fog and Sam fog at lower

:26:55. > :27:01.levels. It will be a chilly night. Maybe down as low as four Celsius.

:27:01. > :27:07.Tomorrow, it will start with low cloud around, maybe some drizzle.

:27:07. > :27:10.Hints of some brighter spells in the eastern areas. The breeze will

:27:10. > :27:17.start to pick up. Towards the West, we will introduce some outbreaks of

:27:17. > :27:21.rain which will be heavier towards the West. In the evening, some of

:27:21. > :27:26.that will spill further east. Some uncertainty and those of you in
