:00:09. > :00:12.Hello and welcome to BBC Points West.
:00:12. > :00:14.The headlines: Fighting for the right to choose
:00:14. > :00:19.when to die. The Wiltshire man battling to be
:00:19. > :00:24.able to end the life he describes as intolerable.
:00:24. > :00:27.It has been very difficult, but whatever we feel, it is always 100
:00:27. > :00:30.times worse for him. A report into the financial scandal
:00:30. > :00:36.at the Cotswold Water Park says mistakes were made, but councillors
:00:36. > :00:40.didn't break the law. The nurse who switched off a life
:00:40. > :00:42.support machine fails to show up at her disciplinary hearing.
:00:42. > :00:52.And courting Cheltenham for one last time, Kauto Star is declared
:00:52. > :00:53.
:00:53. > :00:57.Good evening. A Wiltshire man who wants a doctor
:00:57. > :01:00.to be able to end his life lawfully has won the right to have his case
:01:00. > :01:03.heard in the High Court. Tony Nicklinson from Melksham suffers
:01:03. > :01:08.from locked-in syndrome which means his body is paralysed, but his mind
:01:08. > :01:10.is unaffected. He says it is intolerable not having a way out
:01:10. > :01:19.and sums up his life as "dull, miserable, demeaning and
:01:19. > :01:24.undignified". Alice Bouverie Tony Nicklinson has suffered every
:01:24. > :01:27.day for the last six-and-a-half years. You can't do anything -- he
:01:27. > :01:31.can't do anything for himself. Everything has to be done for him.
:01:31. > :01:35.If he has a scratch, someone has to itch it for himpm. Known as Royals
:01:35. > :01:39.to his friends, he was a former rugby player and daredevil, but
:01:39. > :01:42.since suffering a stroke in 2005, he has been unable to move from the
:01:42. > :01:47.neck down. Only able to communicate through a
:01:47. > :01:51.letter board and his computer. By looking at him, I know what he
:01:51. > :01:56.is thinking a lot of the time and it is, life is hell for him really.
:01:56. > :02:00.It is not going to get any better. Although Jane says Tony doesn't
:02:00. > :02:04.want to die tomorrow, he wants to know he has a way out when he can't
:02:04. > :02:08.take it anymore. What is different about this case, it isn't assisted
:02:08. > :02:13.suicide. Tony Nicklinson isn't in pain and he is not dying, but he
:02:13. > :02:17.wants a doctor to end his life and not fear prosecution for murder and
:02:17. > :02:20.he wants that defence to be under the common-law of necessity.
:02:20. > :02:23.Necessity because it is Tony Nicklinson's own way of ending his
:02:23. > :02:27.suffering. The Ministry of Justice wanted the
:02:27. > :02:32.case thrown out, arguing that needing to kill someone can never
:02:32. > :02:35.be a defence to a charge of murder. But today a judge ruled the case
:02:36. > :02:40.can proceed. This was Tony's reaction.
:02:40. > :02:49.I'm delighted that the issue surrounding assisted dying are to
:02:49. > :02:54.be aired in court. Outside the High Court, the Nicklinson's solicitor
:02:54. > :02:56.argued if the law was change people didn't need to fear it. Cases would
:02:56. > :03:01.be considered on an individual basis.
:03:01. > :03:07.This Is a case where the court would have to authorise in advance
:03:07. > :03:11.any such step to be taken. The court already does so in cases
:03:11. > :03:15.involving the withdrawal of nutrition and hydration. So the
:03:15. > :03:17.courts are well used to dealing with those cases so it is not a
:03:17. > :03:21.case of the floodgates being opened at all.
:03:21. > :03:26.Such are the implications of this case, it is likely to go all the
:03:27. > :03:36.way to the Supreme Court. Tony and Jane Nicklinson's daily nightmare
:03:36. > :03:39.Well, with us now to discuss some of the issues is Timothy James, a
:03:39. > :03:44.Senior Lecturer in Law and Medical Ethics at Birmingham City
:03:44. > :03:49.University. Thank you for joining us. The law here is 50 years old
:03:49. > :03:55.and in that time medical science improved. Is it time for a re-
:03:55. > :04:00.evaluation? The law is more than 50 years old. It is over 200 years old.
:04:00. > :04:07.What Mr Nicklinson's lawyer is arguing is the defence of necessity
:04:07. > :04:10.should be available to a doctor who killed Mr Nicklinson. Now until
:04:10. > :04:13.2000 there was no defence of necessity and then we had the
:04:13. > :04:17.conjoined twins case and for the first time the law recognised the
:04:17. > :04:23.defence of necessity in killing specifically for the conjoined
:04:23. > :04:26.twins. Now, 12 years later, somebody wants to broaden that
:04:26. > :04:31.exception and this is the way the law goes. The question is whether
:04:31. > :04:36.it is going in the right direction. What are you worried about then?
:04:36. > :04:40.Well, many of the issues, of course, were anticipated by his solicitor.
:04:40. > :04:45.She said there was absolutely no risk of the opening of floodgates
:04:45. > :04:53.and I think that is unrealistic unrealistic. She gave the example
:04:53. > :04:58.of people who have, who are being fed through a tube and who are
:04:58. > :05:03.unaware and the court is asked to approve this being withdrawn. When
:05:03. > :05:07.this was first considered in Tony Bland's case in 1993 it was highly
:05:07. > :05:11.controversial and received a detailed looking at. Now, it is
:05:11. > :05:15.fairly systematic. You know which forms to fill in and it is
:05:15. > :05:18.straightforward. You can guarantee what the outcome will be.
:05:18. > :05:22.But Tony Nicklinson's argument is he should have the right to take
:05:23. > :05:25.his own life and he doesn't because he can't do it himself? No, his
:05:25. > :05:32.point is that he should have the right to have somebody else kill
:05:32. > :05:37.him. He does have the right to take his own life, but... But he doesn't
:05:37. > :05:40.have the the ability to do that and that is his problem. The law draws
:05:40. > :05:44.a bright line between the two. It says we can't stop you killing
:05:44. > :05:51.yourself, but in practise somebody who prevents you from committing
:05:51. > :05:54.suicide won be criticised for that, but that crossing the line to
:05:54. > :05:59.deliberately killing somebody because they want to die is too far.
:05:59. > :06:02.I think that is right. I think those who say there is no slippery
:06:02. > :06:08.slope haven't looked at the history of the last 30 years.
:06:08. > :06:12.The trial has begun of a Bath newsagent who went on the run 12
:06:12. > :06:15.years ago after being accused of sex offences against teenage girls.
:06:15. > :06:20.Lewis Knight, now 60, disappeared in 2000, but last year he was
:06:20. > :06:30.tracked down in Spain. Today, he faced 11 allegations including four
:06:30. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:34.The jury heard how Lewis Knight ran what was then a newsagent's shop,
:06:34. > :06:37.but is now a general stores here in Mount Road, Whiteway in the late
:06:37. > :06:45.1990s, but he used his position to assault and rape his victims some
:06:45. > :06:48.as young as 13-years-old. In 1999, Lewis Knight a Spanish national who
:06:48. > :06:52.had married a British woman was charged with seven counts of sexual
:06:52. > :06:55.abuse. But despite surrendering his passport, he obtained a replacement
:06:55. > :07:02.from the Passport Office, jumped bail and failed to turn up for his
:07:02. > :07:06.trial at Bristol Crown Court. He went on the run to Spain and
:07:06. > :07:09.disappeared from sight. But last August members of Avon and
:07:09. > :07:13.Somerset's Cold Case team tracked him down to the remote village of
:07:13. > :07:17.Torres de Segre near Barcelona. He was later extradited back to the UK
:07:17. > :07:19.in September after a court appearance in Madrid. Prosecuting,
:07:19. > :07:28.Andrew MacFarlane, told the court how Lewis Knight inexplicably took
:07:28. > :07:31.advantage of the young girls. He explained how the defendant groomed
:07:31. > :07:35.the girls before taking them down into the cellar where he raped and
:07:35. > :07:38.indecently assaulted them. The jury were told how he used his position
:07:38. > :07:41.of manager of the shop to approach the girls who either did paper
:07:41. > :07:44.rounds or worked with him in the shop. Three victims who were
:07:44. > :07:48.between 13 and 15 have given interviews to the police,
:07:48. > :07:53.describing how humiliated and terrified they were. One said she
:07:53. > :07:56.that at the time she just couldn't tell her mother she had been raped.
:07:56. > :08:04.The former newsagent denies four charges of rape, six of indecent
:08:04. > :08:08.Gloucestershire County Council's dealings with the now defunct
:08:09. > :08:11.Cotswold Water Park Society have been revealed today. Last year, the
:08:11. > :08:13.chief executive of the society, Dennis Grant, was jailed for
:08:14. > :08:23.defrauding it of over �600,000, prompting an inquiry into the
:08:24. > :08:25.
:08:25. > :08:29.council's involvement with him. Dennis Grant was the public face of
:08:29. > :08:33.the water park scanned 85, but following accusation that senior
:08:33. > :08:36.council officials were in cahoots with him, the county council set up
:08:36. > :08:41.an independent inquiry. Today the author delivered his verdict. No
:08:41. > :08:47.officers acting illegally, but the report did find the council failed
:08:47. > :08:51.to properly scrutinise a deal that Dennis Grant did to lease the
:08:51. > :08:55.Kenyes Country Park to another company. The council failed to deal
:08:55. > :08:58.with complaints made to it about the agreement. Secret evidence has
:08:58. > :09:03.been uncovered that's been passed to the police who are investigating
:09:03. > :09:06.the water park scandal. The district councillor who sees
:09:06. > :09:10.getting to the truth as a personal crusade says the report is just the
:09:10. > :09:14.start. This is not about drawing a line
:09:14. > :09:21.under a pretty sordid period in the water park's history. This is about
:09:21. > :09:24.bringing people to account, well paid public servants, to account
:09:24. > :09:28.and getting to the truth and I don't think we're there yet.
:09:28. > :09:30.The county council admits mistakes were made in its dealing with the
:09:31. > :09:34.water park society and promised things will change.
:09:34. > :09:37.Clearly there were a number of failings within the internal
:09:37. > :09:40.systems and I think that's just not good enough for a public
:09:40. > :09:42.organisation like ourselves and it doesn't meet the standards that
:09:42. > :09:46.local residents would expect from that.
:09:46. > :09:50.The the author of the report says the council has a real opportunity
:09:50. > :09:55.to avoid mistakes of the past. It is very important in terms of
:09:55. > :09:59.what the council can learn for its future approach for example, in
:09:59. > :10:02.handing over libraries or youth centres or other things like that
:10:02. > :10:06.which are on a bigger scale and would affect more people. There is
:10:06. > :10:10.a long way to go. There is a theme of optimism running throughout this
:10:10. > :10:14.report. A chance, of course, to put the wrongs right, but maybe to
:10:14. > :10:19.start again. A chance for the water park to achieve its vision that was
:10:19. > :10:29.set out decades ago, to create a vibrant and exciting destination
:10:29. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:32.It is Alex and Will with you this evening.
:10:32. > :10:35.And here's a couple of good reasons to stay with us. A stable
:10:35. > :10:39.relationship - why the Cheltenham Festival is a real family affair
:10:39. > :10:42.for this West Country yard. And were you the leader of the
:10:42. > :10:52.pack? If you ran the Bath Half standby to spot yourself in our
:10:52. > :10:54.
:10:54. > :11:00.A Bath teenager, missing for nearly three weeks, has been found safe
:11:00. > :11:06.and well. Ruth Byfield, who's 18 and from Oldfield Park was found in
:11:06. > :11:08.Hampshire yesterday afternoon. A nurse who left her paralysed
:11:08. > :11:12.patient severely brain damaged after turning off his ventilator
:11:12. > :11:14.has failed to attend a disciplinary hearing. Violeta Aylward is charged
:11:14. > :11:20.by the Nursing and Midwifery council with not being familiar
:11:20. > :11:28.with how to operate a life support machine. Matthew Hill has been at
:11:28. > :11:32.Today was the first day we were supposed to hear from nurse,
:11:32. > :11:36.Violeta Aylward about why she turned off Jamie Merrett's
:11:36. > :11:39.ventilator leaving him without a proper supply of oxygen for a
:11:39. > :11:46.quarter of an hour, but she failed to turn um. A last minute letter
:11:46. > :11:50.from a church elder said this is because of ill health. But the NMC
:11:50. > :11:55.decided to go on with the hearing anyway because she thought she
:11:55. > :12:00.wouldn't turn up to future hearings. Taken by a webcam set-up by the 39-
:12:00. > :12:04.year-old patient because he was so worried about his care. Jamie
:12:04. > :12:07.Merrett's footage shows the the nurse turning off his life support
:12:07. > :12:14.machine and panicking. Violeta Aylward is charged with not being
:12:14. > :12:17.trained in how to resuscitate a patient, breathing through a
:12:17. > :12:22.tracheostomy and connecting an emergency breathing bag to his
:12:22. > :12:28.mouth instead of his neck. The nurse was supplied to NHS Wiltshire
:12:29. > :12:33.by the private agency Ambition 24. The panel heard that the nursing
:12:33. > :12:38.agency Ammunition 24 were aware they should provide a nurse trained
:12:38. > :12:45.in how to use a ventilator, but Violeta Aylward had no experience
:12:45. > :12:48.and she had not been on an an intensive care ward. As a
:12:48. > :12:53.registered nurse for patients with learning difficulties, Violeta
:12:53. > :12:56.Aylward would never of had life support training anyway. Today
:12:56. > :12:59.Jamie Merrett's sister said she was disappointed that she would never
:13:00. > :13:06.hear a full explanation from his nurse.
:13:06. > :13:12.It would have been good for her to come to hear about what she did to
:13:13. > :13:18.Jamie. I can't even understand why she didn't come, emotionally. I can
:13:18. > :13:21.understand where she might be at, but as a nurse, she owe as duty of
:13:22. > :13:25.care not only to my brother, but the association she is registered
:13:26. > :13:31.with and she she has to answer for her actions.
:13:31. > :13:41.The hearing is can'ted to end on Friday. If found guilty of serious
:13:41. > :13:42.
:13:42. > :13:46.professional misconduct, Violeta Now as spring cleaning tasks go,
:13:46. > :13:50.this is a pretty big one! A specialist team is getting to work
:13:50. > :13:52.on a stretch of the Kennet and Avon Canal in Bath. Five locks need to
:13:52. > :13:56.be overhauled and repaired to prevent precious water escaping.
:13:56. > :14:03.But as Ali Vowles has been finding out, the engineering project is not
:14:03. > :14:08.quite as straight forward to carry Think of the beautifully restored
:14:09. > :14:13.Kennet and Avon canal and this isn't what comes to to mind. One
:14:13. > :14:17.long, muddy, sludgy puddle, but this popular mile of water in the
:14:17. > :14:21.heart of the city is having a spring clean. It is being drained
:14:22. > :14:27.so five of the loches can under go major repairs because it is so well
:14:27. > :14:31.used. The boat traffic that's gone through here has led to the gates
:14:31. > :14:35.becoming worn and damaged so we're having to carry out the works now
:14:35. > :14:40.to make sure they last another ten or fifteen years.
:14:40. > :14:43.Here at loch number 11, you can see the problem. There is that gap a
:14:43. > :14:47.the bottom where the boats go through and the loch gates have to
:14:47. > :14:50.be repair. When you have any engineering work, you have to get
:14:50. > :14:53.rid of the water, but if you get rid of the water, what happens to
:14:53. > :14:56.all the fish? The loches can't be mended until
:14:57. > :15:03.the wildlife is removed. So it is time to call in the fish rescue
:15:03. > :15:06.experts who will move the 25,000 roach, carp, eels and bream that
:15:06. > :15:10.live here. We set up stock nets as we move
:15:10. > :15:15.through to them and then we stun the fish on the way up to the stop
:15:15. > :15:19.nets. It is kind on the fish. It stops them swimming.
:15:19. > :15:22.And then happens to them? transfer them into bins and we move
:15:22. > :15:25.them up to the section of water which is three-quarters of a mile
:15:25. > :15:29.above this. It will take the rest of the month
:15:29. > :15:39.to do the repair work on all five lochs and only then will the fish
:15:39. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:45.Those poor fish, they look dead! I hope they survived.
:15:45. > :15:49.Just shocked. This week racegoers will flock to
:15:49. > :15:53.Cheltenham for the top meeting of the national hunt season.
:15:53. > :16:00.Today came the news that so many hoped for, Kauto Star, the star of
:16:00. > :16:06.the sport is fit to race in the Gold Cup. It takes place at the
:16:07. > :16:12.Press bury Park course and David Hi Alex. Thank you very much indeed.
:16:12. > :16:15.Yes it is strangely quiet here tonight, but make no mistake, at
:16:15. > :16:20.1.30pm, the great roar which always greets the start of the first race
:16:20. > :16:23.will go up and we'll be off for another year. Now officials here,
:16:24. > :16:29.the industry and his fans were buoyed today by the news that Kauto
:16:29. > :16:32.Star will be running in the Gold Cup on Friday. He is trained by
:16:32. > :16:38.Paul Nichols in Somerset and he suffered a fall in training there
:16:38. > :16:43.over a fortnight ago. I'm joined by the clerk of the course here and a
:16:43. > :16:47.trainer from Ireland who trained the Kicking King.
:16:47. > :16:51.Simon, you must be delighted with the Kauto Star news. I know it is
:16:51. > :16:55.not about one race and one horse? The news we were hoping for today.
:16:55. > :16:59.He had a good gallop on Saturday. I can't see him here.
:16:59. > :17:04.You know about the Gold Cup. How much will it be enhanced by Kauto
:17:04. > :17:10.Star taking part? It will be the pinnacle of the day. He has raced
:17:10. > :17:16.for seven years. He caught the imagination of the people of that
:17:16. > :17:19.time. He won two Gold Cups already. He is a fantastic horse. It will be
:17:19. > :17:22.of up most importance to see himself and Long Run going up the
:17:22. > :17:28.hill. The news about Kauto Star came
:17:28. > :17:32.through at midday today and Alistair dur den has been Paul
:17:32. > :17:37.Nichols yard to talk to Paul and to meet Kauto Star.
:17:37. > :17:44.Room service for racing royalty, Kauto Star can rest up now after
:17:44. > :17:49.proving his fitness over the jumps this morning. A performance his
:17:49. > :17:56.team described as perfect. We wanted to see him jump well and
:17:56. > :18:05.he jumped six fence was Ruby Walsh very well. He has got an
:18:05. > :18:08.outstanding chance. He is in with a chance.
:18:08. > :18:13.No horse has regain the Gold Cup twice. A third win on Friday would
:18:13. > :18:17.mark him out as the best ever. But his fall two weeks ago, was a
:18:17. > :18:22.reminder that this unstoppable horse is now twelve and that this
:18:22. > :18:27.is likely to be his last time around the famous course.
:18:27. > :18:30.I won't be pushing him. He has been a fantastic horse and I want to
:18:30. > :18:35.have him around for a long, long time. It is not worth it, pushing
:18:35. > :18:40.him too far. He has nothing to prove. If he could win this, even
:18:40. > :18:45.if he doesn't win it, of course if he just, a nice performance, I will
:18:45. > :18:48.be pleased. Kauto Star remains the sport's
:18:48. > :18:52.biggest superstar, the chest festival organisers are relieved
:18:52. > :18:57.their main attraction will be there on Friday. The bookmakers are happy
:18:57. > :19:00.as well. They are expecting a rush of bets now from his legion of fans
:19:00. > :19:10.hoping if this is the end of a great career then it will at least
:19:10. > :19:19.
:19:19. > :19:26.Another important bit of news for for West Country racing fans,
:19:26. > :19:30.Grands Crus won't be competing. David Pipe has decided to run his
:19:30. > :19:37.horse on Wednesday. The horse is favourite at 7-4 for that one.
:19:37. > :19:41.Simon, you have got the who is pa the hospitality in place, and the
:19:41. > :19:46.bars, what is the course going to be like? We ought to ask the
:19:46. > :19:50.experts, ask Tom, but we have had plenty of compliments today. It has
:19:50. > :19:55.been hard for the ground staff. They have been watering it for
:19:55. > :19:59.weeks. It is really in terrific nick and it will be, I think, good
:19:59. > :20:04.to soft in places when we kick off at 1.0pm tomorrow.
:20:04. > :20:09.-- 1.30pm tomorrow. What do you think? It will be slow
:20:09. > :20:14.tomorrow. There is good. I can't really find the good part that much.
:20:14. > :20:17.It is on the slow side. It has been well watered. But it is safe ground
:20:17. > :20:21.and a level playing field for everyone.
:20:21. > :20:24.How big will the Irish challenge be this year? We have got plenty of
:20:24. > :20:29.runners and you know, the betting would suggest that we've got a lot
:20:29. > :20:36.of live chances in a lot of the novice chases and novice hurdles
:20:36. > :20:40.and with the favourite in the Champion Chase and the Champion
:20:40. > :20:42.Hurdle as well. If you could reach ten, it would be brilliant, but we
:20:42. > :20:49.will have to see. You You trained the winner of the
:20:49. > :20:54.Gold Cup in 2005 and your father rode the great Arkle in the 1960s,
:20:54. > :20:57.so what does this place mean to you? Cheltenham is like Mecca to us
:20:57. > :21:02.and it is a huge occasion and tomorrow in particular, being here
:21:02. > :21:06.today is super, but tomorrow when the crowds are here, from a jump
:21:06. > :21:10.racing fan, nothing compares to this and nothing will for me. I
:21:11. > :21:14.mean it was great, the video footage of Arkle and whatever that
:21:14. > :21:19.I was able to watch and whatever, but to be lucky enough to train the
:21:19. > :21:21.winner that brought it all down and now it is about training a few more.
:21:21. > :21:24.Thank you very much indeed, gentlemen.
:21:24. > :21:28.Well, the Cheltenham Festival is the highlight of the season for the
:21:28. > :21:35.bookies, the officials, the industry as a hole and the jockeys
:21:36. > :21:39.and the trainers. Nigel twiston Davis trains up the road. He will
:21:39. > :21:49.have a dozen runners this week, but he won't be interested in the
:21:49. > :21:50.
:21:50. > :21:54.Early morning, every morning. Sam and Willie and the rest of the team
:21:54. > :22:00.school, train and prepare. All under the guidance of their father,
:22:00. > :22:07.Nigel. My alarm goes off at 6.30am. I try
:22:07. > :22:15.to be at the yard by 6.50am and ride out, go home, go racing and go
:22:15. > :22:19.to bed. Quite busy, but I wouldn't change it for anything else.
:22:19. > :22:24.There is pedigree, Imperial Commander won the Gold Cup two
:22:24. > :22:29.years ago. His sons are very much part of the operation with Sam, the
:22:29. > :22:36.elder, getting many rides and not just from his father's yard.
:22:36. > :22:43.Sam, I think, he is fifth in the jockeys table. He is doing well and
:22:43. > :22:46.Willie will will -- who had bad luck with injuries.
:22:46. > :22:50.How difficult is it that you are the younger brother? It is fine.
:22:50. > :22:54.Sam is older than me so he has been riding longer. How are you looking
:22:54. > :23:00.forward to Cheltenham? I am looking forward to it. It is the biggest
:23:00. > :23:05.race. I can't wait for it. Imperial Commander missed this
:23:05. > :23:10.season with a tend n injury -- tendon injury. Any win is important
:23:10. > :23:20.for a stable's reputation and that will depend on the skills of
:23:20. > :23:24.Now Tom, you have got three riders, three rides this week, which is the
:23:24. > :23:32.best one to back? Three three runners, Dave. I haven't ridden for
:23:32. > :23:37.a while. Which one is the best one to back? I like a horse on
:23:37. > :23:39.Wednesday. He is an each way chance. He might be, I'm hoping he will do
:23:40. > :23:43.well. Well, I will be back tomorrow with
:23:43. > :23:47.the news of day one and BBC Radio Gloucestershire is the place to go
:23:47. > :23:55.if you want to hear everything about it from traffic to runners
:23:55. > :24:02.and riders and Simon will be on air live every morning at about 7.40am
:24:02. > :24:08.to give us the going for the day David Garmston will be there
:24:08. > :24:11.I'm looking forward to T. Now we saw them watering the course at
:24:11. > :24:14.Cheltenham. It has been dry for a few days, hasn't it? What is the
:24:14. > :24:18.few days, hasn't it? What is the forecast looking like?
:24:18. > :24:22.Environment Agency are growing concerned about the state of the
:24:22. > :24:25.river courses particularly out in the eastern districts. The next
:24:25. > :24:30.chance of any significant rain coming our way is into the weekend,
:24:30. > :24:39.but for the time being remaining dry, if not completely so. A good
:24:39. > :24:43.deal of cloud around. That remains the key issue. High
:24:43. > :24:46.pressure centred over the top of us during tomorrow. Generally a good
:24:46. > :24:52.deal of cloud compared to today. Similar story for Wednesday. There
:24:52. > :24:56.could be a lot of fog and a lot of vehicle pollutants starting to
:24:56. > :25:01.gather under the access of that high pressure area. But think
:25:01. > :25:04.Thursday a better chance of brighter spells. As we get towards
:25:04. > :25:08.Friday, changes underway, but likely to be late in the day as we
:25:08. > :25:12.start to see the Atlantic system making inroads towards us and by
:25:12. > :25:15.Saturday that is when we are likely to see spells of rain. Indeed a
:25:15. > :25:21.similar story for Sunday and possibly into Monday, but likely to
:25:21. > :25:25.turn dry as we focus through the this evening, we have had a fair
:25:25. > :25:33.amount of clear spells. They will fill back up with cloud. Some fog
:25:33. > :25:36.fog starting to form coastly. I don't think it will be as
:25:36. > :25:39.widespread tomorrow morning as we saw this morning. Temperatures 5 or
:25:39. > :25:45.6 Celsius. Tomorrow will start with a good
:25:45. > :25:50.deal of low cloud. The same caveat applies with the coastal fog. Some
:25:50. > :25:53.fog further iland. As we get through the day, the best of the
:25:53. > :25:57.brightness across Exmoor. But less on balance compared to today. But
:25:57. > :26:01.at least light winds, dry, temperatures 12 Celsius or 14
:26:01. > :26:11.Celsius where you get the sunnier spells. So it is a mixed set of
:26:11. > :26:21.Thank you very much, Ian. Now if you like your football,
:26:21. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:31.don't forget Late Kick-off. Nearly 11,000 people ran in Bath's
:26:31. > :26:53.
:26:53. > :27:01.Half Marathon. Congratulations to As it roller coaster of emotions
:27:01. > :27:11.when you run a race like this. I got up at 6am. Apparently there
:27:11. > :27:26.
