Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight: | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Killed for a mobile phone. Two thieves are found guilty of the | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
murder of a young father who tried A bleak Christmas for construction | :00:21. | :00:23. | |

:00:42. | :00:46. | ||
white horse in Wiltshire shines Good evening. Two robbers are | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
facing a life sentence for murdering a young father for his | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
mobile phone. They took his iPhone and stabbed Keith Soons in the head | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
when he tried to get it back. Both men are well known to the | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
police in Cheltenham after years of criminality. The officer who called | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
and said this was the most callous crime he had seen in 25 years. | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
We have been following the case and talking to the victims -- victim's | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
devastated family. When he passed away part of us died forever. We | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
cannot come to terms with his death and why he was taken from us as | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
such a young age with his life ahead of him. Keith Soons' sister | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
talking outside court today. He was on a night out in Cheltenham with | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
his friends on 4th February earlier this year. The following morning he | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
was found lying unconscious in this road. He died in hospital with his | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
partner and his daughter by his bedside. That day was horrible, the | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
:01:59. | :02:01. | ||
worst day of my life. And Tooley was there. -- Tilly. If I knew it | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
was happening I wouldn't have taken her. The ventilator would move, he | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
would make her laugh, and she had only just begun to laugh then, as | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
well. She was looking at him, and she didn't know what to do. She | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
didn't know what was going on. He would move and she would think he | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
was working up and then he wouldn't. She didn't know what was going on. | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
Then she started crying and realised he wasn't waking up. They | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
said they were turning the machine off because there was nothing they | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
could do for him. After his death Gloucestershire | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
police launched a manhunt which eventually led to the rest of | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Michael Sexton and Richard Smith, two well-known local criminals. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
CCTV footage showed the pair heading towards wet Keith Soons was | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
attacked. In one image police have identified what they say is a | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
screwdriver which was taken from a previous robbery earlier in the | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
night. Both admitted to being at the scene of the attack. Sexton | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
pleaded guilty to robbery but both denied murder. Each blamed the | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
other for delivering the fatal blow which eventually killed him. The | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
jury were told Michael Sexton and Richard Smith had been on a night | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
out in Cheltenham and it was around 3am they were on their way home | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
along this road. They spotted Keith Soons sitting on the steps of that | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
flat waiting for his friend to come home. It is their they decided to | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
rob him. They took his mobile phone, wallet and ring. As Sexton Anne | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
Smith headed in that direction Keith Soons decided to give chase. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
-- Sexton and Smith. They turned into here with Keith Soons | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
continuing to follow them, saying he wanted his mobile phone back | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
because it has pictures of his child and wife. This is where this | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
tragic journey ends, because Keith Soons was struck here in the head | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
with a screwdriver. Today the jury found both Sexton and Smith guilty | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
of murder. Those would say they had a certain | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
reputation in Cheltenham. They have grown up as petty criminals. They | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
have lived on a diet of the thievery and violence. 25 years in | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
the police, the one thing that has struck me was the obvious lack of | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
humanity that existed in this crime. I have seen violence, but I have | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
never really seen anyone just leave someone in the street the way they | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
did. Keith Soons' family say although they are pleased with the | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
verdict his murder has changed their lives forever. Can I just add, | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
if there is somebody out there that you miss and love so much, please | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
tell them. We don't have that opportunity to tell Keith, and | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
believe me, that is what really hurts of the most. Thank you. | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
His family left court tonight knowing his murderers both face | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
life imprisonment when they are sentenced tomorrow. | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
And some very moving scenes outside the court. The family had to sit | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
some suits -- 63 some gruesome evidence. | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
At times I could see them covering their ears, as T the evidence when | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
he was found lying unconscious. And also when they talked about how | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
that screwdriver was forced into his head. There was testimony from | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Michael Sexton, one of the men convicted, when he talked about | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
what they did, after the attack, and he talks about Richard Smith | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
had said to him and have always wanted to know what it was like to | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
kill someone. Pretty gruesome stuff. They have been convicted of murder, | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
a mandatory life sentence but did judges making more Commons tomorrow. | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
He will taking everything about the attack and will set the minimum 10 | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
they have to serve before they are considered for parole. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Hundred of construction workers in the West received bad news this | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
morning when it was announced the company they work for has called in | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
the administrators. Blackhorse Construction has been around for a | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
quarter-century. It has sites across the region. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
This is the headquarters in Wiltshire, and in these modest | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
buildings this morning 100 staff were given their redundancy notices, | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
what a way to end the year. There are more crossed the West Country. | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
For the depot in Wellington, they ran the operation from here, and 50 | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
Somerset staff will also given redundancy letters. In all, 180 | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
people were laid off today. The last 40 will remain here in | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Wiltshire to help the administrators. Unsurprisingly, | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
none of them much wanted to talk to reporters. | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
And this was their business, ground works, because, the first job on a | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
building site and making green fields ready for new homes -- | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
diggers. This is my third recession, the hardest and deepest. Even | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
experienced builders will tell you this industry is going through a | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
difficult time. Very sad they have gone under. The whole construction | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
industry is a very competitive market and very tough. Costs of | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
building materials have risen quickly, some doubling in the year. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
The prices builders can charge have dropped, if anything, and there is | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
just less work around. The main thing is the volumes have gone. The | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
major projects have now disappeared, which has condensed the whole | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
market which means all the big companies are coming down to the | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
smaller markets, which makes it very competitive. It is not | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
universal, this little trading estate is just down the road. This | :08:23. | :08:32. | |
company fitter you shops and hotels. -- fit out new shops. We are doing | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
a lot of office refurbishment and things where people are not moving. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Doing quite well on that. builder told me today his industry | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
has been in recession for three-and a-half years, and as time was on | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
more and more companies across the West Country will face the sort of | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
difficulties Blackhorse has. Gloomy prospect, let's hope things | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
get better in the new year. Christmas week, and you're watching | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
BBC Points West. Still to come: how gene therapy | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
could help protect the heart of diabetes sufferers. | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
And lighting up a white horse for the longest night of the year. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Do stay with us. A cafe set up and run by homeless | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
people in Taunton has been forced to close. It was opened in June | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
last year by the Taunton Association for the Homeless. The | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
aim was to raise money for the charity, but also provide valuable | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
work experience and life skills for the homeless. Today the charity | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
closed its doors saying it could no longer sustain the losses. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
35 bus routes could go in Somerset. The county council has announced | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
what cuts it is planning for the next financial year. It is on top | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
of �2 million of savings it has already paid to services which | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
could make a profit -- already made. Police are calling on members of | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
the public to be on the lookout for Cable thieves posing as rail | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
workers. A series of thefts primarily targeting signalling | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
cable have occurred on rail lines in areas like Stow-on-the-Wold in | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Gloucestershire. They have left cabling in a dangerous condition | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
which could cause injury to others. An organisation that helps people | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
from difficult backgrounds to find employment is opening new premises | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
in Bristol. Positive Causes was set up in 2009 and employees sell a | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
monthly magazine in towns and cities and door-to-door. The | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
profits go towards community project for the young and | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
vulnerable. -- project. | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
They are working hard, and soon this will be a new internet cafe | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
and drop-in centre for Positive Causes. It is a non-profit | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
organisation set up by a former prison and drug addict who found | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
even when he had changed, his past stopped him getting work. | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
It has given me a purpose and structure. I spent most of my life | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
in and out of prison and addicted to drugs. I sorted myself out. I am | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
helping the community by the people I employ, it is also helping me as | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
well. They make and sell a monthly magazine and what started with four | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
staff grew to 45. This is the latest edition of the Positive | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Causes magazine. You may have seen it on the streets, you may even | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
have bought it. Sometimes the seller will directly need the | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
support, other times the money raised will go to different | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
projects to help people struggling with their lives. Initially | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
designed to help those battling drug abuse or criminal records it | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
has also offered a chance for young people out of work to get a start. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
I just wanted a job, to be honest. Then I started getting more | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
involved, and I am feeling good about myself so I carried on doing | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
it. He gives youngsters employment, help for CVs, you have always got a | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
friendly face to speak to. A good working atmosphere. It has made me | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
get up every day with a smile on my face knowing I am giving something | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
back to the community, doing something local, and I know people | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
around me benefit. The new premises in Bristol's old market a due to | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
open in the new year marking the next step for Positive Causes. | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
It is hoped the new study being carried out at the University of | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
Bristol could help prevent heart disease in people with diabetes. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
The research which uses the gene therapy has been shown to work on | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
mice, but as our health correspondent reports, more needs | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
to be done before it can be Robin Smith is only too aware that | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
he is at a much greater risk of a heart attack. He was diagnosed with | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
pate two by BT's six years ago. Cycling on average at 100 miles a | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
week means this 77-year-old is hoping to live many more areas. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
It is most important that I exercise as much as I can to | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
prevent these problems. Their research into heart problems is | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
very important. Diabetic patients do not produce | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
enough of a compound called nerve growth factor. This prevents heart | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
-- heart failure. The scientist is thus published a paper which | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
demonstrates that by injecting the compound into diabetic mice, their | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
heart function can be improved. Maybe we can be funded now and can | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
measure for diabetic function by using a special graph for the mouse. | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
Mace protected by this compounds show better function. Two years ago, | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
Hatim showed that nerve growth factor could help treat heart | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
attack patients. This study shows that the dangerous consequences of | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
diabetes could also be reduced. Scientists have shown that by | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
injecting tiny amounts of the chemical into diabetic mice they | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
have been able to reduce the heart complications expected. They say | :14:33. | :14:41. | |
that the next stage is to experiment with this on pegs. | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
-- pigs. Now, for 60 years it was at the | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
forefront of the Government's intelligence mission, but at the | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
end of this week, the last workers will leave GCHQ's Oakley site in | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Cheltenham to move into the main headquarters. TV Cameras have never | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
been allowed inside. Until now. Our reporter Steve Knibbs has been | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
given exclusive access to one of the government's most secret sites. | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
GCHQ Oakley, with its iconic buildings high above Cheltenham, | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
watching over the town as it has listened in on the world. My guide | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
today is GCHQ's historian, Tony. We're only allowed to use first | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
names. What sort of work was done here? Mainly classified work. This | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
was the headquarters site. Much of the operational work a was done on | :15:35. | :15:44. | |
this site. Today the buildings are being decommssioned. Offices that | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
once thrived, now quiet, but it gives us a chance to see what was | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
once hidden from the outside world. This is what you would expect to | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
see - a place for Secure documents? This is the director revolt and | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
this is where all the documents would have been kept securely, | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
inside the vault. Inside the vault, cabinets protected by a combination | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
locks. Delve a little deeper and you get a glimpse of the might of | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
the intelligence gathering here. Through now derelict corridors Tony | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
showed me into one of the massive computer halls. This is no one | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
large empty space but during the period it was used, the computers | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
were used for processing power with different machines. It was never | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
the same configuration for very long. How many halls like this | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :16:48. | ||
would there have been? Several. What's? Several. We were shown | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
:16:58. | :17:06. | ||
these massive killing units which kept the area cool. -- cooling. And | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
next door these giant generators - they'd kick in if there was a power | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
cut - and by necessity, they're pretty powerful. | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
It is all very quiet now and if only these Walls Could Talk. The | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
work done here until only a few weeks ago was classified | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
insensitive, and the opportunity to bring a camera into film - | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
impossible. There's a desire for GCHQ to be more open, where it can, | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
and with this site destined to become housing, this was a chance | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
to share the history of a site that not only changed the town, but | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
helped shape the world. And Steve will be back at GCHQ | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
tomorrow uncovering more of the history of the site and talking to | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
people that have worked there for most of their lives, so do join us | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
:18:02. | :18:07. | ||
for that. Did you know that today has been an important time in the | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
calendar since the neolithic age. People in Wiltshire have been | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
marking the shorter stay by creating a rather special light | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
show of on a special hillside. This is through Wiltshire village | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
of honey street. On that hill is the particular white horse that | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
will be the focus today of a very ancient tradition. The celebration | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
of winter solstice, the shortest day. Something celebrated for as | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
long as humankind has known what they that is. Plenty of people have | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
welcomed back the Sun today along with the prospect of even longer | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
days. To celebrate the solstice since they will you need special | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
equipment. These candles that are kept in jars. You can be posh and | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
go for the winter lantern. You still have to get it up over that | :19:04. | :19:13. | |
hill. This is an amazing view up here - completely stunning. | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
Apparently it is over there. We eventually found the right hell. | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
There was a big clue, and then the hard work started. It was suggested | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
to us that we could revive an ancient tradition of lighting the | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
white horses. As of 1957, some of them were still at. This year it is | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
easy but last year there was a lot of snow and it was difficult. It is | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
important to gather together and it is fun. This is the shortest day of | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
the year. This is where the custom of Christmas come from - lighting | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
up the house and lighting up the inside and outside. There are | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
plenty of people getting excited about how it works including this | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
chap and a lot of youngsters. What is more exciting - the winter | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
solstice or Christmas? I don't know. Christmas. I don't know. They are | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
both quite exciting. Then you start getting a longer days again. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
really want to see it when it is darker because it will probably | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
look more exciting than it does now. It is a few minutes before 4pm just | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
now and just before the sun sets. Not dark but already plenty of | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
people lighting candles and you can see the effect. Just a few more | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
candles left to put down and we will leave them to put the | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
finishing touches to it. We're back down in the village now. The time | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
is just after 4:30pm and make his pollen. You can still see the | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
magical bowling winter solstice horse through the fog. Days are | :21:05. | :21:15. | |

Now, if you're organised you may have selected your Christmas | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
wrapping paper already and wrapped up all the presents. Not quite. If | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
you haven't, then here's a thought. A group of children from Hatherop | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
Primary School near Fairford has come up with a novel way to raise | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
money for their sports field. Simon Lewis went to find out more. | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
Christmas, and the frantic search for presents maybe soon upon us. | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Don't worry, once you have got those presents and you want to put | :22:05. | :22:15. | |
:22:15. | :22:15. | ||
them in something different. This uniquely designed festive wrapping | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
paper features 83 individual snowmen, sketched by each of the | :22:20. | :22:29. | |
school's pupils. I wanted a pudgy snowman because I think the other | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
cases. I wanted it to be again also added eyelashes. I added some | :22:34. | :22:43. | |
shadow to mind to make it look a bit darker. I thought that men | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
usually wear ties for Christmas dinner so I added that I to it. | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
eco-friendly wrapping paper is to be sold to raise funds for the | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
school's play area. Already, and number of local businesses have | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
agreed to sell it. Somebody came up with the idea of wrapping a person | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
in the paper for a promotional photograph. The idea to cough. She | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
has been team Ascot. Do you think we will send you off to Father | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
Christmas? No. I think there will be some very careful wrapping of | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
Christmas to make sure their little snowman is not a rat. Some of the | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
children will probably retain it and keep it for years to come. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
you are looking to wrap your present this year, made a spare a | :23:35. | :23:44. | |
thought for all those 83 snowmen. I know a lot of people who pulled | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
it up carefully and keep it for next year. == fold. And finally | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
before we leave you, we want to wish someone a speedy recovery. You | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
may remember Keeleigh Redfern, from Somerset, who was very poorly with | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
failing kidneys and liver. Well, the good news is that she has had a | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
double transplant and is now recovering in hospital. Her mum | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
says she is doing well. And we hope to catch up with Keeleigh once | :24:11. | :24:21. | |
:24:21. | :24:22. | ||
she's back at home. Happy Christmas, Keeleigh! | :24:22. | :24:32. | |

What a contrast already compared to last week. Noticeably mild today, | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
as it will be through the course of tomorrow. Temperatures in the mould | :24:40. | :24:49. | |
double figures. At the eye and benign story to come. Other than a | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
cold front coming on Friday, it is pretty benign with some high | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
pressure in the south of us. It continues to be mild and for the | :25:00. | :25:08. | |
time being, it will persist. A when the story into Christmas Day but | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
effectively it should be dry. We can see the cold front coming | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
through with a good indication that it will remain mild all the way | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
through Christmas. Long-range prospects remain to be a broadly | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
similar story into the first week of January, with not a hint of any | :25:30. | :25:40. | |

Severe weather. Through tonight, the high pressure to the south of | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
us. Comparatively mild over the Atlantic ocean with the variable | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
amounts of cloud around until we see this cold front arriving which | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
will be a feature in to Friday. No set really a very wet weather | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
between now and then. Some bricks in the cloud. We continue with that | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
mixture through this evening and tonight with the winds moderate. | :26:07. | :26:17. | |

Little chance of any brain. -- rain. Temperatures will only drop by | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
around two or three Celsius. No threat of any frost. Tomorrow will | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
see a good amount of cloud around. At Friday for us all up and down to | :26:33. | :26:43. | |
that early afternoon, there will be some brighter spells. Decent stuff | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
through the course of the afternoon and that is how it will remain into | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
the evening with the winds coming in from that direction with the | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
temperatures reflecting it, at around 12 Celsius. Friday, that | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
cold front will reach us which will give us some fairly heavy rain | :27:01. | :27:10. | |
