This is Points West. The headlines... Coming to a street | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
near you. For the first time since 1948, D Olympic flame is coming to | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
the West. We are meeting some of the people on it as torch bearers. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
The inventor of the Trunki switches production from China to the west | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
but complains about a lack of support. The manager of Yeovil Town | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
urges supporters not to kick up a plan for a supermarket at the | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :00:55. | ||
stadium. The wounded soldier Good evening. Welcome to BBC Points | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
West and to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. It is just one of the | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
places that will be welcome in the Olympic torch relay later this year. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
They have announced the Reid and you can have a look at that in | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
great detail and find out which streets the torch bearers are going | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
down and whether they are running, jogging or walking and then you can | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
go a long and celebrate with them. According to the route they are | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
taking, we have got smaller communities involved. We have got | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
places like South weight in Wiltshire and villages in Somerset | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
but it will also include memorable landmarks, like Glastonbury Tor, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Cheltenham Racecourse and Gloucester Cathedral as well. If | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
you want to have a look, we will give you all the details in a | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
moment but first, we are thinking about the torch bearers because | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
they have been announced and for them it is a time of real pride but | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
also responsibility. It is a beautiful day to be here in front | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
of the Royal Crescent. It is the type of weather conditions they | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
will be hoping for on may 22nd at 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Olympic flame troubles along that historic address. It will be in the | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
region for four days and will return in July on the final journey | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
into the Olympic Stadium. We can have a look at where else it will | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
be coming. It reaches us at first in Somerset. This is a quick look | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
at the wheat from Taunton. It will be in Wells, where Mary Rand last | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
attracted crowds as a gold medallist in 1964. Royal Wootton | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
Bassett will once again welcome the world's media. For some people, | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
like people on Kingsholm Road in Gloucester, it will come right past | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
the front door. More than 100 torch bearers will carry the torch every | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
day, each one for about 300 metres. One of them, so defied year old | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
George Harding has raised �100,000 for charity, completing a bike ride | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
and making it 2 Everest base camp. If I can make a difference, that is | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
fine by me. It is just a number of. Age is just a number. Another | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
torch-bearer celebrating his Blaire Hannon, who has the honour of | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
carrying the torch on the final leg in Bristol. He said, do not drop | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
the torch in the water and I have got about 20 lighters in case I | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
need to like it again. We are coming from the Ponting and under | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
the bridge and we are going up a ramp and we will have a nice walk | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
way for me to go along. It is shining a light on the best of the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
region. Now is the chance to pick away you are going to stand for | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
that perfect you. -- viewpoint. One torch-bearer told Points West that | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
she wished her parents could be out to see her on this very proud day. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Tonia White is from Taunton and her mother and father were killed in | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
the M5 motorway crash last year, which killed seven people. She has | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
:04:36. | :04:36. | ||
been chosen to carry the torch through ill Minster. -- Ilminster. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
The news is still sinking in and it has come as a big lift at a | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
terrible time. Yesterday, it was Mother's Day. She was back at the | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
M5 motorway on the outskirts on Taunton, laying flowers. Just as | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
she did for months before after learning that two of the victims of | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
one of Britain's worst crashes were her mother and father. Teddy and | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
Pamela had been visiting Somerset and were coming back to Wales. She | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
was nominated by her employers, an international food chain, months | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
ago for the work she does in the community. That was before the | :05:16. | :05:24. | |
crash. It changed her life completely. They would be proud. My | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
mother was very excited when they found out about the nomination and | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
they were coming to support me and I still feel they will be with me. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
They were very proud. That has not changed. Her husband is helping | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
with a bit of training. Faster! might not be a long run but he did | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
not want to be the one to let the side down. If you want to find out | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
exactly where the Olympic torch is going and who the torch bearers are, | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
you can visit the BBC website. I had a good look today. This is the | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
address. We have got details about the exact route. Almost every half | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
an hour. They will have to keep to schedule as well. We have checked | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
local newspapers and they said they will be printing a detailed map of | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
the route as well in extra editions. If you are not online, you can get | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
it from the newspaper. I am leading the bridge and coming back to the | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
studio but for now, back to you, David. I hope I do not drop the | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
baton. We will see how long it takes for her to get back! Britain | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
must borrowed less and make more, that has been the cry of ministers | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
trying to revive the economy. When a Bristol entrepreneur decided to | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
start manufacturing in the west instead of in China he was amazed | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
to find he did not get any government help. With a couple of | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
days until the government budget report, we have been looking at | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
what local companies need to get going again. Here is our | :07:09. | :07:19. | |
:07:19. | :07:19. | ||
correspondent. You have passed the baton to a small business that has | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
put Bristol on the map with design and starter packages. These offices | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
are really good and they have put a stamp on the place. They do clever | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
things here. Like many companies, they leave manufacturing to people | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
abroad. A long way from here. We talk about China. In China, it is | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
the year of the dragon and people in this company know all about | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
:07:54. | :07:55. | ||
defying dragons. Meet Terence and tricksy. The world's first and only | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
wide travel brief cases. I am out. I am out. The dragons did not buy | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
at six years ago but the public certainly have. It has gone from | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
strength to strength and we are exporting to 62 countries. The | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
proof is in the finances in the past year. More than �6 million. We | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
have got factories in China making be Trunki. But that is changing. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
They have made a decision to make them in the UK and it has been a | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
long time coming to do this. from next month, it will be made in | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
Devon. They will use the Chinese factory to supply a share but for | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
the British market, British manufacturing makes sense. -- Asia. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
We are shipping from the far east and we have got a much more | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
sustainable project and production because we are not shipping as far. | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
It is a lot more energy efficient as well. It has created 20 jobs in | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Devon and has allowed for further expansion. But this equipment is | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
expensive. We are spending half a million on new equipment. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
manufacturers' like this previously had to write off 40 % of that | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
investment against the tax bill. That has been halved to 18 %. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
have heard the government saying they are supporting manufacturing | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
but when we get down into that, we have not got much support and any | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
would be welcome. We have decided that we cannot get it all down | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
straight away because it is not possible financially but with more | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
support we can bring more products back quicker and employ more people | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
and equal pay for itself. It was my pleasure to meet the manager last | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
night in a special debate on the Budget which you can see later | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
denied. Along with entrepreneurs like him, we had politicians and | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
apprentices. We had a very interesting debate. Do you think we | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
will get any tax relief on the Trunki? Well, he would have thought | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
that capital allowance for machinery and manufacturing would | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
be the talk in the public house. It is not usually dad. It is more | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
about tax. This could be what makes the difference. Also among the | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
politicians, Clare Parry, an MP from Wiltshire, very close to | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
George Osborne, was present and she responded. We have got the most | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
complicated tax system in the world. I am 6 ft tall and it comes back up | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
to my hip. The first thing the Chancellor did was cut corporation | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
tax and said it would be the lowest in eg 20 in five years. He cut the | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
rate for small businesses further. We might get some allowances which | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
would make sense and I would like to see some for capital investment. | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
But we must stop fiddling about and micro-manage in. Can they get | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
manufacturing going again without sorting out the tax business? You | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
like these small details, don't you? Jobs come from investment and | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
that is the dilemma. His investment about capital allowances and tax | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
breaks for money spent on equipment or does it come from a low headline | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
corporation tax? It appears that is what the markets are doing. The | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
international markets will invest in this rate. That has been a great | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
success for the industry. Look how the motor industry has been helped. | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
I do agree that with something like the Trunki, it could lose out to | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
what they had before because of capital allowance. That is where | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
manufacturing, they would rather have something just for them? | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
Investing in equipment, it would be better to have capital allowances | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
but the big picture is international investment. That is | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
very important and I think that is why corporation tax is very | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
important. More about that on Wednesday. But he did not have to | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
wait until Wednesday for the Points West debate just after 11 o'clock | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
on BBC One. It is a bit late but stay up if you can. Coming up... | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
Hands on history at Chedworth Roman villa in Gloucestershire, opening | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
:12:45. | :12:49. | ||
A man described as the neighbour from hell after he targeted a young | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
family has walked free from court. Jason Hyman terrorised the family | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
in Bradley Stoke and has a long list of previous convictions for | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
assault and burglary. He was given a suspended sentence. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Jason Hyman drunk and armed with a bottle attempts to break into the | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
hole -- the home of Mohammed. He is captured on CCTV being restrained | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
by his partner. Today he arrived in court having already pleaded guilty | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
to a string of offences following the attack on the home in Bradley | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
Stoke last year. Prosecuted nick O'Brien said it was | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
apt to describe him as the neighbour from hell. He explained | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
how the neighbours had trouble with him. On one occasion he said I will | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
give you a few months to leave all I will make your life hell. | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
Constant fear, having to look out the window, CCTV cameras to monitor | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
the road, worrying about my family, my wife and child while I am at | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
home, two years' worth of hell, something that I wouldn't wish on | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
my worst enemies. The court heard how Mohammed, his | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
wife and their baby son lived next door to Jason Hyman. Be called the | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
police after he tried to break into their house. -- they called the | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
police. Sentencing him for another 12 months in prison, QC said your | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
behaviour was appalling, you intimidated and threatened your | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
neighbours and if you behave like this again you will go to prison. | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
When the police raided his house they discovered a samurai sword. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Magistrates had previously handed him a six-month sentence, suspended | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
for 18 months. Today he admitted possessing an offensive weapon. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Detectives investigating the death of a man in Bristol have charged a | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
46-year-old with murder. 32-year- old Gino Nelmes was taken to | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
hospital after an incident at a house on Filton Avenue next to the | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
Memorial Stadium, but died later. A post-mortem examination shows he | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
died from multiple stab wounds. Marc Carter is due to appear before | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
court in Bristol tomorrow. More than 600 tons of metal has | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
been on the move in Gloucestershire today. Two huge boilers from the | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
old Berkeley nuclear power station are on their way to Sweden where | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
they will be broken up. People lined the streets of nearby | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
villages to watch the convoy go past. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
This month marks the end of an era for hospitals in Bristol and the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
beginning of a new one. Tomorrow on the programme we will be taking a | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
first look around the new South Bristol Community Hospital. The �45 | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
million development will partially replace one of the West's oldest | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
medical establishments, the Bristol General Hospital. Our health | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
correspondent has taken a nurse who used to work or half a century ago | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
for a final, nostalgic tour. -- used to work there. | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
When Julia Adams started working here in 1959 p NHS was still in its | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
infancy. Hospital was built as a charitable trust in 1853 and ever | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
since thousands of patients have been treated. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
This was female ear, nose and throat and it had a small | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
children's ward attached. When they came back from Theatre they would | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
be here and as they got better they moved down the ward, and where they | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
needed most attention they were here. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
This is what remained of the children's ward, burnt down in 1941 | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
after it was hit by a bomb. Luckily nobody was injured. One of those | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
children recently told a hospital that her mother had a funny feeling | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
and discharged her beforehand against doctor's advice. | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
This was the river. Very smelly, especially about 4 o'clock in the | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
morning. We would open windows to let her in and the smell on a hot | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
:17:14. | :17:16. | ||
summer's day could be unbearable. This is the nurses' home. We can | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
get married, student nurses didn't get married. My bed was under the | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
window and all night I had a constant stream of friends coming | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
in that way. Nobody Avenue, I don't think I ever got found out -- | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
nobody ever it new. The last patience to be transferred | :17:35. | :17:45. | |
:17:45. | :17:49. | ||
from here will be the beginning of April -- -- the last patients. | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
Some fond memories of the Bristol General Hospital. | :17:56. | :18:06. | |

The Devil Town manager has joined the debate over the future of Huish | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
Park -- Yeovil Town. Every fan at the home game was given a free DVD | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
with his picture on the front. He urged them to send a letter of | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
support for the redevelopment plans and he met considerable opposition | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
from local councillors. If the club gets its way its | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
training ground will become a supermarket. The money from the | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
deal will be used to upgrade the stadium. | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
We are not asking the earth. The car parks are not fit for use, the | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
training pitch costs as �50,000 per year to keep. It is not fear for | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
training on. In an unusual move every fan was given a little gift | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
of a DVD on Saturday, Odin them to support the redevelopment plans. -- | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
urging them. Help us by getting this in as quickly as you can. | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
The facilities may be poor, but on the pitch things were looking | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
brighter. The transformation is remarkable. He arrived at the club | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
in early January when they were in the relegation zone and in the last | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
nine weeks they have won 25 points, gone up nine places in the league, | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
and their top scorer Andy Williams has scored 12 goals in 14 games, | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
including the Stoop against Walsall. -- these two goals. Not everything | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
is rosy. Redevelopment plans have been rejected. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
We support the club and want to see it to thrive and upgrade teed but | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
how they go about it is up to them -- up graded. They should follow | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
the planning rules. They are considering building a huge shop. | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
It is up to the district council to decide on the application on the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
1st May. If the decision doesn't go their way Yeovil Town and Bristol | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
City will have something in common, frustrated chairmen. | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
A wounded serviceman from Wiltshire is preparing for the climb of his | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
life up Mount Everest. Francis Atkinson, a medical officer with 16 | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
Air Assault Brigade, was injured in Afghanistan in 2011. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Now he and seven others want to become the first group of injured | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
servicemen to scale the world's highest mountain. He joins us now | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
in the studio. Welcome. | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
The you are a doctor, is that right? Yes, I am. I served in | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
Afghanistan between September 2010 and March 2011. I have 120 | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
paratroopers and I looked after that them -- I look after them when | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
they became ill and injured. In March last year I ended up getting | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
into an ambush and getting shot through my right upper arm. | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
You are still wearing the support here. You cannot work normally, is | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
that right? That is correct. When the bullet | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
went through my on it destroyed the nerves that supply my hand and as a | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
result my right hand doesn't actually work properly. Seeing | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
patients is not possible for me for the time being. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
If you haven't been wasting your time. We are going to look at some | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
pictures of you in training. Talk us through it. | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
We are planning to leave Format Everest in about a week. -- leave | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
to go to Mount Everest. We are doing this for a charity called | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
Walking with the Wounded. The reason why we are doing this is | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
because it is to raise money to help with the real education and | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
:22:05. | :22:10. | ||
retraining of injured soldiers. -- re-education. This charity helps | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
injured sorties to get we qualified and find a job. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
You have been through this and you can understand what they will go | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
through. In preparation for this you have got to mentally prepare | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
yourself in some way, haven't you? As well as the physical training. | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
Being in the Army gives us an edge because that is our everyday | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
existence, to strive and push ourselves and aim high. We are a | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
fairly motivated bunch already. We are looking forward to it. | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
It is a huge ordeal. Why don't you just put your feet up and relax and | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
recover? We like to test ourselves. It was | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
the opportunity to climb Everest for such a fantastic calls. Most | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
people in the army would have jumped at that opportunity. I | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
wasn't going to work for a year so I thought there was a fantastic | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
opportunity. We wish you the very best of luck. | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
Thank you for coming in. One of the country's finest | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
examples of Roman archaeology is being shown off to the public | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
following an 18 month conservation project. Some of the mosaic at | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
Chedworth Villa in Gloucestershire have not been on display for 150 | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
years and a new building has gone up to house them and protect them. | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
-- mosaics. They have lain here for the past | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
1,600 years, remains of what was once the largest and most luxurious | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
country villa in Roper and Britain. When the Victorians built a hunting | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
lodge they cover much of the precious flooring with a layer of | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
tarmac. That is being carefully peeled back. | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
It is amazing, the colours are the main thing that strikes you. Blue, | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
red, white. They are fresh. You can imagine what they would have looked | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
like when they were being reduced and walked on. | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
Today children from local schools came to enjoy what was on offer, | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
dressing up and making medicine under the watchful eye of a Roman | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
soldier. The Romans left in square houses. | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
They were very clever people and imaginative. | :24:31. | :24:40. | |
Some of them were rich people. They had quite a lot of slaves. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
This building has been incredibly carefully designed to respect the | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
original fabric of the building. This suspended walkway it means | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
people can peer through and enjoy the mosaic without damaging it in | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
any way at all. This was how Chedworth Villa used to look. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Mosaics were covered by basic sheds. A far cry from this modern piece of | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
architecture. Conservation and preservation are what matter here. | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
Archaeologists and historians want to keep the golden age of Roman | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
Britain alive. As I was leaving the Cilfton | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
Suspension Bridge gemma was just turning up and she is there to | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
bring this powerful weather forecast. -- bring us hour full | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
:25:42. | :25:51. | ||
Glorious sunshine, staying dry. The best of the sunshine today. It was | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
clear skies all day. The wind got in the way at times. It didn't stop | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
the temperatures achieving double figures across the board. In more | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
sheltered spots you could feel the warmth of that sunshine. Generally | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
with the wind it was 11 degrees. The reason the weather is staying | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
so settled is because of high pressure. If we take a look at the | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
pressure chart you can see the area of high pressure over us. It shifts | :26:25. | :26:34. | |
eastwards a little bit tomorrow then swings back to the West. A | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
settled picture for the rest of the week. This evening and tonight, a | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
cold at the moment pick getting milder as cloud spills in. -- but | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
getting milder. We may see some patchy drizzle in the cloud. It | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
lifts the temperatures so by the end of the night about six or seven. | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
Tomorrow, a much milder start. Increasing amounts of cloud. The | :27:03. | :27:11. | |
best we can hope for is something in a cloud. Temperatures across the | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
board into double figures. Prolonged periods of sunshine. | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
Cloud spills in after that making for a mile tonight. The outlook is | :27:24. | :27:34. | |
:27:34. | :27:36. |
