horse hospital, but his Somerset The trial of a former scoutmaster | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
accused of abusing children in Somerset has been hearing from one | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
of his alleged victims. The man, now in his late 30s, told the jury | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
how David Burland had sexually assaulted him. | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
Mr Burland faces 33 charges, all of which he denies. Our reporter | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Clinton Rogers is following the case at Taunton Crown Court. | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
David Burland hid his face beneath an umbrella as he arrived for day | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
two of his trial at Taunton Crown Court, where he came face to face | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
with one of the four people he is accused of abusing over a period of | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
more than 20 years. The man, now in his late 30s, recalled his days as | :01:33. | :01:43. | |
:01:43. | :01:44. | ||
a 14-year-old scout in the Highbridge. -- Highbridge area. And | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
of one night in particularly when after a scout meeting he was taken | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
back to David Burland's home and forced to watch a pornographic | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
movie. He says it was that evening that David Burland sexually | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
assaulted him. In the witness box here at Taunton Crown Court, the | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, told about the sense | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
:02:09. | :02:11. | ||
of revulsion he felt at the time. "I had never felt anything like it | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
before," he said, "And I have not felt anything like it since." He | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
told the jury how Mr Burland had tried to convince him what they | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
were doing was perfectly normal. Under cross examination, he was | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
accused of making up the whole story. He replied, "That's not | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
true." David Burland, seen here at a previous hearing, denies 33 | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
charges of abuse, including serious sexual assaults and gross indecency, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
all said to have taken place while he was working in the scout | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
movement, ending up as a scout leader in Burnham on Sea. Some of | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
the alleged offences go back to 1987. The charges name four victims, | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
three boys and a girl. In opening this case, the prosecution accused | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Mr Burland of being a sexual predator who hid behind a cloak of | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
respectability, exploiting and manipulating his victims. He was, | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
argued the prosecution, adept and skilled at choosing his victims. Mr | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Burland again hid his face as he left court today. Tomorrow, the | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
:03:22. | :03:26. | ||
jury will hear from another of his alleged victims, now in his 20s. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
In other news tonight, a mother has withdrawn her son from school in | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
South Gloucestershire, after he was bullied about the colour of his | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
hair. 12-year-old Tyler Walsh says he has been attacked and lived in | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
fear of walking home after class. His school in Yate says they have | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
tackled the problem, but his mother disagrees. Sabet Choudhury reports. | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
This one I got on my last day, this one took six Thames to get Gandhis | :03:47. | :03:57. | |

are the hardest. -- six terms to get and is the hardest. Tyler Walsh | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
is proud of his achievements at school. A year eight student who | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
has been the victim of bullying, all because of the colour of his | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
hair. For a couple of months, had to walk home in fear, thinking | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
something very bad was going to happen. By have two sisters with | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the same here collar. I do not want them to go through what I have gone | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
through. Last week, Tyler was taken out of school by his mother to be | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
taught at home, after an attack by some older students. He was chased | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
into a toilet by the year 10 and a love and. He became distressed and | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
it threatened to kill himself. Like any parent, I acted, I chose to | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
take him out of school. The school were not dealing with it. Their way | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
of dealing at -- and dealing with it was punishing one child with a | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
:04:59. | :05:01. | ||
day off school. They said that Tyler was safe at school. Tyler's | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
mother has so far only spoken to head of her son's house and is now | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
waiting to speak to the principal of Yate International Academy. The | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
principle did not want to speak to us on camera today, instead he sent | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
us that this statement. He said that having taken account of all | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
that dues in this matter, the academy has managed at the issues | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
raised in accordance with their clearly-defined policies and | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
protocols and that they are continuing to do so. He added that | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
they had been seeking clarification from external bodies, such as the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
education welfare service. As for Tyler, he is now going to start at | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
a new school next week with just one simple wish. I would like it to | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
go well and could not have the need to walk home in fear of being | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
beaten up on my way home. Julie Oakley, set up the charity | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Bullywatch 11 years ago when her daughter tried to take her own life | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
after being bullied at school. She joins me now from their offices in | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
South Gloucestershire. This Boyce seems to have been delayed because | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
he has a ginger hair. The something as minor is that often a trigger | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
for this behaviour? Unfortunately, yes. It does happen. Young people | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
can get bothered for her collar, quite often for simple things. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
Children can be very cruel, cant they? Is to anything that can be | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
done about that? There is lots of things that can be done. A working | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
one-to-one with the way young person that is being bullied, you | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
can provide peer support where older students support younger | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
students, you can advise on friendship groups were young people | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
can get together and walk-on supporting one another. You can | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
also challenge the behaviour of those doing the bullying and do | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
some work with them. The key, it seems to me, is it needs to be | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
drawn about. -- known about. To get anything done, you need to talk | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
about it. It is not always easy, but to admit you were being bullied. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Of course not. Young people are worried that they will be known as | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
:07:29. | :07:31. | ||
a grass, or things will get worse. What been to do is that there are | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
things in place -- make sure that there are things in place to make | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
sure that people can talk about it and children can get the support | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
that they need. The school should be watching out for things like | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
this like a hawk, especially with an 11-year-old starting a new | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
school. A absolutely. Every school will have an element of billion. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
Every school should have an anti- bullying policy that it here too, | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
that a cheque every year to make sure it is up to date. -- are that | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
they checked every year. Very quickly, I must ask you this. If | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
I'd child watching this has had a difficult day at school today, what | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
should they do? They should talk to an adult they can trust, they | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
should get somebody to doctor the school for them -- to talk to the | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
school for them. Make sure some body knows about it, because they | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
should not suffer in silence. They are a Class A drug, banned by | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
the Government, but magic mushrooms could soon be used to treat people | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
with depression. A ground-breaking study in Bristol has found that the | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
active ingredient in them appears to shut down areas of the brain | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
responsible for causing the illness. It could lead to clinical trials | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
within a year. This is a brain scan of someone who | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
has taken magic mushrooms. You might expect it to be working | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
overtime but actually the blue shows areas of reduced activity. It | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
has left scientists on a high as it could help treat depression. There | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
is a network in the brain associated with the equal, and that | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
:09:30. | :09:30. | ||
seems to be overactive in a depression. -- the ego. We found | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
with magic mushrooms that it effects of that. It could be a | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
treatment for depression. People in the study were injected with a low | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
dose of psilocybin, the active chemical, then their brains | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
monitored. People have a psychedelic experiences, a | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
connection to consciousness or something like that. Nobody has had | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
adverse reactions at all. People have only experience these things | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
in a positive light. We have had no negative responses. Magic mushrooms | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
are naturally occurring. They have been used by man for hundreds of | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
years, and really came to popular consciousness in the 1960s along | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
with other psychedelic drugs. But since all or most were made illegal, | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
it has been difficult to carry out studies like this one to explore | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
the benefits. We need to remember that when these drugs were first | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
discovered in the 40s and 50s, there was a huge amount of research | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
done on them to try to use them for psychotherapy, to help people deal | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
with problems like depression, anxiety, cancer. Then that the | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
governments of the West banned them and for the last 40 years, no one | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
has been able to resist the urge these fields. It is a huge loss to | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
society. -- nobody has been able to research in these fields. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Scientists say this is not a green light for people to experiment at | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
home. These trials are being carried out under strictly | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
controlled conditions. It is early days, but there is great excitement | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
that what they may lead to is a new generation of medicines. | :11:01. | :11:06. | |

And a city for the day. Bradford- on-Avon celebrates winning a | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
national competition. Charities in the West say | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
fundraising is being hard hit by the downturn in the economy, with | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
more people asking for help and less money available to spend. One | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
organisation has told Points West that its collections are down by | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
11% and another that they are being forced to cherry-pick the type of | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
people they can help. Whether it's chugging or running, | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
raising money for charities has never been easy. But as economic | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
belts are tightened, it is increasingly tough. St Peter's | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
Hospice is a very successful Bristol charity that raises �6.5 | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
million a year, but donations are down. Where people would have put | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
�1 in, they are putting 50p in. We're seeing that. It is about | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
another of an % a drop of an hour fund-raising, which is significant. | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
Our shops are doing well, which you would expect, it is a lot of volume | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
and fast turnover. Platform 51 helps women and girls and says some | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
charities are under pressure to choose easier, cheaper cases rather | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
than people with more complex needs. The women that really need the | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
support, who were caught in the poverty circle and unable to escape | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
from that, they will continue to be there because there is no funding | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
to support what would be the effective -- hectic lives. What can | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
charities and a volunteer groups to? My advice is to be serious | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
about a collaboration and potentially merge with other | :13:08. | :13:17. | |
organisations. Do not pitch ahead in the sand, confront the financial | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
position, look ahead. As the economy struggles, charities and | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
volunteers will be asked to do more More concerns have been raised | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
about a new computer system being used to book in patients at two | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Bristol hospitals. We first reported on the problems at | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Frenchay and Southmead two weeks ago, but now more people have | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
expressed their worries about patient safety, prompting one MP to | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
call for the roll-out of the system to be scrapped nationally. The | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
hospitals have apologised and say they hope all will be sorted within | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
a fortnight. Here's our health correspondent, Matthew Hill. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
David Searle is one of many victims of the new new computer booking | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
system. Twice he has had appointments cancelled because | :14:09. | :14:18. | |
clinics have not been set up correctly with the new system. | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
6:30pm I was met by a nurse who has me if I was for the clinic. She | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
said, no, not another one! Behind her were another six people all in | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
the same situation is me to find that the clinic had been cancelled. | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
The computer have got it wrong. -- had got it wrong. This is root of | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
the problem, the Cerner Millenium computer system. It was introduced | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
in December in one of the biggest operational changes ever undertaken | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
in one of the biggest hospital trusts in the country. The company | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
say it already delivers high quality care to 20 British | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
hospitals, but, as we have reported already, the transition has been | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
very problematic. This new system has cost the NHS �15 million, and | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
the North Bristol Trust a further �3.9 million. One member of the | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
Public Accounts Committee says its introduction in Bristol and in | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Oxford has been so chaotic it should not be rolled out anywhere | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
else. The trust has apologised to patients and staff. It says one of | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
the issues has been training the all the staff about how to use it. | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
For the employees it has been a very difficult time. One worker, | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
who wants to remain anonymous, has told me patients are being lost in | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
the system and staff are walking out because they are so stressed. | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
There will be separate records for all the patients, but we need to | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
understand what those concerns are from the patient's story juniors | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
can support them. It is through their professionalism and hard work | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
that we have maintained the functioning and safety of the | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
organisation. I very much apologise for the problems they have had at | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
work. The hospital said that they have already sold all the problems | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
with operations and a two-thirds of the way there in terms of general | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
appointments and hope to have this problem sorted out that the middle | :16:07. | :16:17. | |
:16:17. | :16:19. | ||
of February. Of February. -- by the middle of February. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
But while these problems are sorted, patients like David, will have to | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
wait. Scientists in Bristol have | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
developed the world's first magnetic soap, which could lead to | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
the creation of more environmentally friendly cleaning | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
products. The soap, which is mixed with magnetic particles, may also | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
be a great help when it comes to clearing up disasters like oil | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
slicks because, put simply, the magnetic properties would allow the | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
oily particles to be skimmed from the water and easily removed. | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
Joining us now is one its creators, Professor Julian Eastoe. Where did | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
the idea come from? At the University we are always | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
researching to improve chemicals, product and the environment. This | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
idea came to us after we developed some soaps there were sensitive to | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
light. The next step was to see if we could make soaps that were | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
sensitive to a magnet. We have got some pictures of it. Take us | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
through what is happening? You can see a magnet being lowered into did | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
beaker and collecting up the magnetic soap. You can see a | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
droplet being attracted to the magnets. The magnet is tiny, | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
smaller than the size of the 50 p piece. So, what kind of | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
applications could this have? potential does exist for having | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
clean-up applications, such as spills and remediation of souls. | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
Whether or not we will see these soaps in our homes remains an open | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
question. We are continuing to research. We will be working again | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
to improve the chemicals so they might reach the market place sooner | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
rather than later. In terms of using it domestically, it is all to | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
do with through moving it from the water supply afterwards, am I | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
right? That is right. It is being able to control were soaps go. It | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
simply gets flushed down to sink normally, but now we have a means | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
of stopping were goes. It might be finding out a way to get it back | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
:18:48. | :18:50. | ||
from hard to reach areas. It takes brilliant minds light years to come | :18:50. | :19:00. | |
:19:00. | :19:03. | ||
up with Magnetics soap! We are very glad that you did. | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Some sports news now and Bristol City's top striker Nicky Maynard | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
could be about to leave for Wigan. Maynard was put on the transfer | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
list after declining a new contract. His current deal runs out at the | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
end of the season. Now Bristol City have given Wigan permission to open | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
talks with the player and the two clubs are close to agreeing a fee. | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Meanwhile, the club have defended Yannick Bolasie after a challenge | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
during Saturday's game with Doncaster. Bolasie collided with | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
James Coppinger. The referee awarded a free kick and Coppinger | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
went off with a fractured cheekbone. The Doncaster manager, Dean | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Saunders, said it was a head-butt and the chairman says he is taking | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
legal advice on the matter. Britain's rhythmic gymnasts have | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
lodged an appeal against their exclusion from the Olympics. The | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
team, who are based at the University of Bath, narrowly missed | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
a qualifying score at last week's test event. However, they exceeded | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
the same target the following day and are arguing that score should | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
count. More than 2,000 people have also signed an online petition to | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
get the girls to the games. Now, it was an injury which could | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
have been fatal, but Masterminded, the champion racehorse trained by | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
Paul Nicholls in Somerset, is making a good recovery. He is being | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
treated at one of the top equine hospitals in the country in | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
Newmarket, after emergency surgery on a tendon on Boxing Day. But, | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
while he is likely to walk again, the surgeon who operated on him | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
says he's very unlikely ever to race again. David Passmore went to | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
see how the recovery is progressing. The model patient. So far, | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
Masterminded's recovery could not have gone better. He is an absolute | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
:21:00. | :21:00. | ||
angel. He is so nice to do anything with. Far better behaved than our | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
horses out in the field. That is the experience of a champion. | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Master Minded twice won the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
With nine Grade One victories in all and prize money of more than �1 | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
million. But on Boxing Day at Kempton he mistimed a jump in the | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
King George VI chase and his back hoof managed to slice into a tendon | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
on his front leg. This is where he was rushed for surgery that very | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
evening, the Newmarket Equine Hospital, a specialist unit in the | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
:21:43. | :21:43. | ||
heart of flat racing country. is very important in these injuries | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
because the whole of the time that tenting is an upended the worst the | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
damages going to be and how difficult it will be to control the | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
infection. You want to interfere surgically as it is due possibly | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
can because that makes a big difference to the prognosis. | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
being well, Masterminded will return to the stables of Paul | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
Nicholls in the next few weeks and start walking soon after. What | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
chance is there of him racing again? Very small. The injury was | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
sufficiently severe that the odds are against him racing again. Our | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
main goal is to get the best quality of life for him that we can. | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
Whenever it comes, thanks to the efforts of Ian Wright and his team, | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
Master Minded is now assured of a comfortable retirement. No life at | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
stud as he is a gelding, but assured forever of a place in | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
racing history. As part of this year's jubilee | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
celebrations, the Queen will grant city status to one lucky town | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
somewhere in the country. The winner will be announced later in | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
the year. But not wanting to wait for any official announcement, BBC | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Radio 5 Live went ahead and held a poll among their listeners. And | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
from the top five nominations, the winner was the Wiltshire town of | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
:23:05. | :23:08. | ||
Bradford on Avon. Laura Jones has been to visit Britain's newest city. | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
Bradford on Avon, population 11,000, nestled in the Wiltshire hills. | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Today thanks to BBC radio, this pretty little town for just one day | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
has officially become a city, in name at least. Admittedly, it is | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
not a huge place and you might think it is missing some of that | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
features of a larger city, but don't be fooled. Bradford on Avon | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
has a lot to offer, according to the man who nominated it for the | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
award. It is a lovely place. It has the old Saxon church. All kinds of | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
architecture. It has a load of fantastic pubs, restaurants, walks. | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
There was a lot to do in this town and it is a good place to live. | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
Local shops are making good most of the city's new found fame. It is | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
all going down rather well with the locals. It is quite a surprise, but | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
a good thing as it puts us on the map. It is going to bring lots of | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
tourism to the town. We had such fun getting everyone enthusiastic | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
about it. We go from strength to strength, hopefully. Although it | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
will not really become a city, one lucky town somewhere in the UK will | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
as part of the diamond jubilee celebrations. Bradford upon Avon, | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
for it, it turns out that one day is a city was just enough. | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
-- one day as a city. The celebrations aren't over yet. | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
Tonight, Tony Livesey's show on BBC 5 Live will be coming from Bradford | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
on Avon. That's from 10.30pm tonight. Well, it looked a bit | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
:25:10. | :25:12. | ||
misty there in Bradford today. Ian, It will be a similar story tomorrow. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
Tomorrow scenes like this will be fairly typical, as well patchy rain | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
and a windier story as well, particularly later in the day when | :25:22. | :25:30. | |
you will have heavier rain as well. By the end of tomorrow, there is | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
this cold front coming in from the West. Once that front comes through | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
late tomorrow evening it ushers in colder air behind it. With the time | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
being, it is very much steady as she goes with patchy light rain, | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
particularly in the West, hill fog also. By tomorrow morning, it will | :25:54. | :26:04. | |
:26:04. | :26:08. | ||
have been mild through the night, there will be some patchy light | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
rain about, low cloud. The breeze will pick up as the day goes on. | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
Baby and will become a bit more steady later on in the evening. It | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
looks at about 9 o'clock this cold front will move over us. It will be | :26:27. | :26:36. | |
as squally feature with spells of heavier rain. It will turn colder | :26:36. | :26:44. | |
because of this front. Tomorrow will be the last day there will see | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
double-figure temperatures for some time to come. High pressure will | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
then building on Friday, so it will be a crisp winter day, a frosty | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
start. By Sunday into Monday, looking at these temperatures, | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
you'll see her gradually as we get to Sunday the wind now shifts round | :27:08. | :27:18. | |
:27:18. | :27:20. | ||
to an easterly. That will bring in cold air. Between now and Monday, | :27:20. | :27:30. | |
:27:30. | :27:35. |
