:00:10. > :00:13.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight:

:00:13. > :00:16.Jail for the man who liked explosives. He had enough in his

:00:16. > :00:26.garden shed to blow up his neighbours. A sonic boom across the

:00:26. > :00:28.

:00:28. > :00:32.West as fighter jets scramble on a hijack false alarm. The birds

:00:32. > :00:35.stopped singing, everything went quiet. Remembered - the war time

:00:35. > :00:38.soldiers accidentally killed in Wiltshire by their own side. And on

:00:38. > :00:48.course for an amazing career - the students given the chance to study

:00:48. > :00:49.

:00:49. > :00:51.wildlife movie making. Good evening. A Somerset man who had enough

:00:51. > :00:54.chemicals to blow up his neighbourhood is tonight beginning

:00:54. > :00:58.a jail sentence. Philip Leonard, who's 36, caused a bomb alert in

:00:58. > :01:00.Burnham on Sea in January and part of a housing estate had to be

:01:00. > :01:03.evacuated. He'd bought the materials on the internet. And

:01:03. > :01:05.although police accept he is no terrorist, they say his actions

:01:05. > :01:15.could have caused serious harm. Our Somerset Correspondent Clinton

:01:15. > :01:21.

:01:21. > :01:26.Rogers reports from Taunton Crown Court. Philip Leonard arrived at

:01:26. > :01:32.court in a prison van. He has been in custody since his arrest in

:01:32. > :01:39.January. Back then what police discovered in a shed at his home

:01:39. > :01:45.prompted a huge security alert. Dozens of homes were evacuated.

:01:45. > :01:49.Leonard a depressed reslew sieve, had been experiments with powerful

:01:49. > :01:58.and volatile explosives. Fluff to cause serious damage over a wide

:01:58. > :02:02.area. -- enough. Today he arrived at court to hear his fate, having

:02:02. > :02:07.admitted four charges. The court heard that for Leonard explosives

:02:07. > :02:12.were a hobby, a fascination. He obtained his dangerous ingredients

:02:12. > :02:16.over the internet and put them together using a manual on how to

:02:16. > :02:21.make your own explosives. Sentencing him to two years, the

:02:21. > :02:28.judge said, I have to bring home to you and to others the gravity of

:02:28. > :02:34.what you did. After, the police gave their assessment. Stupid and

:02:34. > :02:39.dangerous. He is not domestic extremist or a terrorist, but what

:02:39. > :02:43.he has done is stupid. How alarmed are you that what we heard in there,

:02:43. > :02:48.he just simply managed to get the ingredients over the internet and

:02:49. > :02:55.was able to get a manual on how to make your own bombs. It is quite a

:02:55. > :03:00.worry for us. This isn't the first incident and probably won't be the

:03:00. > :03:05.last. Leonard's activities were picked up and the Security Services

:03:05. > :03:09.were alerted. That began a chain of events which tonight ends with him

:03:10. > :03:16.behind bars. Time, said his defence team, to reflect on the stupidity

:03:16. > :03:19.of what he did. There was drama in the skies over Bath last night as

:03:19. > :03:22.two RAF jets scrambled to intercept a helicopter in a hijack alert. It

:03:22. > :03:25.was a false alarm, but the emergency appeared so real that the

:03:25. > :03:29.fighters were authorised to break the sound barrier as they hurtled

:03:29. > :03:39.to the scene. The result was a sonic boom that could be heard for

:03:39. > :03:41.

:03:41. > :03:45.miles. Andrew Plant's in Bath for us now. I think we have the best

:03:45. > :03:48.view in town of Bath and it is something like that view that a

:03:48. > :03:55.helicopter pilot would have been seeing around this time yesterday

:03:55. > :03:58.when he flew into Wiltshire air space and into Somerset's and over

:03:58. > :04:04.Bath. All the while unaware he was broadcasting on an emergency

:04:04. > :04:08.distress freak si. So concerned were the authorities that they

:04:08. > :04:18.scrambled two Typhoon jets from Lincolnshire and the first the

:04:18. > :04:18.

:04:18. > :04:22.people of Bath knew was when they heard and felt the sonic boom. A

:04:23. > :04:27.Eurofighter Typhoon flying over Bath and Wiltshire, captured on on

:04:27. > :04:32.a mobile phone, but heard by hundreds as it passed the speed of

:04:32. > :04:37.sound, sending a sonic boom slaking through the houses. I have never

:04:37. > :04:44.seen an aircraft accelerate that much before. It was like one

:04:44. > :04:48.enormous explosion of air. noise was terrific. It was like a

:04:48. > :04:52.thunder clap. The Typhoons were scrambled from Lincolnshire, their

:04:52. > :04:56.sonic boom felt like a thunder clap across five countries. Today the

:04:56. > :05:02.Ministry of Defence said they were chasing a helicopter, which was

:05:02. > :05:07.accidentally broadcasting a distress signal. All aircraft

:05:07. > :05:13.broadcast on a four digit code, but there are codes for different kinds

:05:13. > :05:18.of emergencies. It is possible for pilot to put one in accidentally

:05:18. > :05:26.for for there to be a mall function. I have never heard it of. In how

:05:26. > :05:30.many years. Over 30 years. Pilot Peter Hall said cram blging

:05:30. > :05:37.fighters because of a wrong signal is rare. If you put an emergency

:05:37. > :05:42.code in, that gets picked up by the national aircraft services and

:05:42. > :05:48.would cause various reactions, depending on the code. Four

:05:48. > :05:54.Typhoons are constantly on sand by -- stand by. Emergency services

:05:54. > :05:59.were skramped with calls and the internet was alive with speculation.

:05:59. > :06:04.-- swamped. It seems it was an expensive mistake a signal so

:06:04. > :06:08.serious it caused aircraft to scramble. The cost will be tens of

:06:08. > :06:11.thousands of pounds. The Ministry of Defence has given no further

:06:11. > :06:19.information who was flying the helicopter and what mistake they

:06:19. > :06:23.made is still unknown. That code will tell Air Traffic Control where

:06:23. > :06:28.a flight is going, what their height and destination is.

:06:28. > :06:32.Sometimes a pilot will have to change it. But they are supposed to

:06:32. > :06:37.do a visual check on that number, it does happen that they can put in

:06:37. > :06:43.the wrong code, but Air Traffic Control can normally call them and

:06:43. > :06:46.ask them if they're OK. So the pilot didn't check the number and

:06:46. > :06:52.wasn't wearing his head phones to be contacted from the grounds.

:06:52. > :06:56.Thank you. Let's speak to an expert, Sean Maffett. Have you, do you now

:06:56. > :07:03.how long it took for the planes to get from Lincolnshire to Bath?

:07:03. > :07:09.Probably less than ten minutes, but the pilots has to get into their

:07:09. > :07:13.aircraft and start so, probably 20 minutes. It is an extraordinary

:07:13. > :07:19.response to think within minutes two fighters are alongside. They

:07:19. > :07:22.used to say, jet noise the sound of freedom. It is good to know we're

:07:22. > :07:29.protected by sufficient efficient organisations. There are two places

:07:29. > :07:36.where this QRA, the quick reaction alert is based, one in Lincolnshire

:07:36. > :07:40.and another in Scotland. It was so serious they went supersonic to get

:07:40. > :07:44.there quickly. Is that particularly rare? I believe it is. They had to

:07:44. > :07:49.be authorised to do so. The aircraft will go at twice the speed

:07:49. > :07:55.of sound. I doubt they got that fast. What is strange we are being

:07:55. > :08:01.told pbl one caused the sonic boom. It is a single sonic boom and it

:08:01. > :08:05.follows behind the aircraft and it is known as a boom carpet that

:08:05. > :08:09.unrolls behind the aircraft. When they got there, if they hadn't got

:08:09. > :08:13.a satisfactory response from the helicopter, in theory they could

:08:13. > :08:16.have shot it down? That would be the last resort. They would have

:08:16. > :08:20.been empowed to do that. I don't think it would have happened

:08:20. > :08:26.straightaway. The sonic boom, I remember in the days of concord

:08:26. > :08:30.people talked about them. Can they cause damage? They can break

:08:30. > :08:35.windows. Or if the aircraft are low level they could do more damage. It

:08:35. > :08:42.is a big pressure up and pressure down and that is why you get that

:08:42. > :08:46.feeling of the earthmoving, window and buildings move. It got our

:08:46. > :08:51.viewers talking. Thank you for coming in. You're watching BBC

:08:51. > :08:54.Points West with David and Alex. It's Friday 13th. Yes, and it's

:08:54. > :09:04.nearly Grand National time. Stay with us as we'll be finding about

:09:04. > :09:04.

:09:05. > :09:09.the horse who could make history. And at Aintree they can expect a

:09:09. > :09:14.cloudy morning with some lights rain. But it may improve in time

:09:14. > :09:19.for the big race. For us a damp start to Saturday. But the weekend

:09:20. > :09:22.will improve. There's a warning that some people with mental

:09:23. > :09:25.illness in Somerset will be pushed to breaking point, now that a

:09:26. > :09:29.support service has been cut. The Re-Engage project is run by the

:09:29. > :09:31.charity Mind. It gives support to patients who are trying to live in

:09:31. > :09:41.the community and get into work. Our Health Correspondent, Matthew

:09:41. > :09:45.

:09:45. > :09:49.Hill, reports. A month ago Emma thought her life was back on track,

:09:49. > :09:54.after having serious psychiatric problems. But then her support

:09:54. > :10:02.service was withdrawn and she was left feeling suicidal. How bad were

:10:02. > :10:07.things on Saturday? Very bad. Because I was suicidal and I took

:10:07. > :10:12.my thing and put it in me nearly. The police came out and you know

:10:12. > :10:18.said... She is one of about 15 relying on the Re-Engage project in

:10:18. > :10:22.Taunton. It hps -- helps them live a more normal life. I had been

:10:22. > :10:27.waiting for so long to get into employment, when people say things,

:10:27. > :10:34.and promise things and saying things, but it never happening. It

:10:34. > :10:39.makes people have a shock. It was run by Mind at a cost of �12,000 a

:10:39. > :10:44.year and aloud for one-to-one counselling. The charity said money

:10:44. > :10:52.is now being used for group work instead. Something that doesn't

:10:52. > :10:57.statute everyone. People will feel they're corner ised -- cornered and

:10:57. > :11:01.you have a small group that just need a different type of service.

:11:01. > :11:07.The Somerset NHS partnership said they always try to respond to

:11:07. > :11:10.individual needs and urge empla to contact them. But they and the

:11:10. > :11:15.County Council say it isn't a question of the money being cut,

:11:15. > :11:20.but it is being used in a different way to meet changes in national

:11:20. > :11:25.policy. The NHS say recently discharged patients do have access

:11:25. > :11:29.to a duty officer and can get their MEP if they feel they're health is

:11:29. > :11:33.-- help if they feel their health is getting worse. The council say

:11:34. > :11:38.they are trying to support people to manage their own mental health

:11:38. > :11:48.and are working with communities, groups and organisations. But for a

:11:48. > :11:48.

:11:48. > :11:51.few that may not be enough. 20 jobs are under threat at the Bristol

:11:51. > :11:53.Evening Post, after the paper announced it's to scrap its

:11:53. > :11:56.Saturday edition. The owners, Northcliffe, also say it will be

:11:56. > :11:59.renamed the Post from April. There will now be a month long

:11:59. > :12:03.consultation about the possible redundancies. The sister title the

:12:03. > :12:07.Western Daily Press will continue to be published six days a week.

:12:07. > :12:10.The number of women in the South West with lung cancer is continuing

:12:10. > :12:12.to rise. Figures from Cancer Research UK show that more than 28

:12:12. > :12:18.women in every 100,000 are diagnosed with the disease locally.

:12:18. > :12:22.That's compared to 25 in the mid- 1980s. The charity says smoking

:12:22. > :12:29.remains the main cause of the disease. It's still more common in

:12:29. > :12:32.men, but rates are falling. Hundreds more street lamps will be

:12:32. > :12:36.switched off in North Somerset, as the authority tries to save around

:12:36. > :12:39.�300,000 a year. Congresbury, Yatton, Claverham and Cleeve will

:12:39. > :12:42.see fewer lights between midnight and five in the winter and between

:12:42. > :12:52.1am and dawn in the summer. North Somerset Council said lights will

:12:52. > :12:52.

:12:52. > :12:55.remain on in areas with traffic hazards or high levels of crime. A

:12:55. > :12:58.service has been held to mark the anniversary of a friendly fire

:12:58. > :13:01.tragedy on Salisbury Plain. 25 soldiers lost their lives in the

:13:01. > :13:04.incident 70 years ago. It happened when a Hurricane fighter aircraft

:13:04. > :13:14.mistakenly opened fire on the crowd below as they watched a military

:13:14. > :13:19.

:13:20. > :13:28.demonstration. Scott Ellis reports. The Hurricane, capable of

:13:28. > :13:33.unleashing 600 rounds a minute. Six Hurricanes unleashed live bullets

:13:33. > :13:37.on dummy targets of tanks. A few hundred yards away was a stadium

:13:37. > :13:41.full of soldiers watching. But the sixth pilot, an American, got the

:13:41. > :13:50.wrong target and fired not at the dummy tanks, but at the stadium

:13:50. > :13:56.full of soldiers. 25 people were killed, 71 were injured. Today a

:13:56. > :14:00.service to remember those killed. And a new plaque bearing their

:14:00. > :14:06.names. George traverse was in clutch to remember his wror, who

:14:06. > :14:16.lost his life that day. He died in England. If he had to die, I would

:14:16. > :14:17.

:14:17. > :14:27.have rather had him killed dying on a battlefield. Not in... England's

:14:27. > :14:32.green and pleasant land. tragedy happened near Imber village

:14:32. > :14:36.on sals I bri plain. The American pilot lacked experience and was

:14:36. > :14:43.flying into hazy sun. One of many factors that may have contributed

:14:43. > :14:48.to the deaths. But it has remained a mystery. It was not pus lisised,

:14:48. > :14:52.because it was wartime. They wouldn't wish to demoralise the

:14:52. > :14:58.country and even the relations of those that were killed were not

:14:58. > :15:04.told the truth. These didn't come out until after the war. George

:15:04. > :15:11.Travers family understand the need for a cover up. But they're pleased

:15:11. > :15:15.that earnest's name adorns the wall of think church. It is a wonderful

:15:15. > :15:21.thing, especially for my father, he was too young to go to the funeral

:15:21. > :15:28.and it is his way of commemorating the event. Earnest joined to fight

:15:28. > :15:37.a foreign war, but was struck down by friendly fire on home soil, aged

:15:37. > :15:43.just 23. A group of volunteers, some in their 70 are to abseil down

:15:43. > :15:51.the Westbury white horse and scrub it. The horse is Dee tieriating

:15:51. > :15:58.since it last underwent a refurbishment. Now people will give

:15:58. > :16:00.it a thorough cleaning in time for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Now to

:16:00. > :16:04.sport and it's the Grand National tomorrow. Alistair Durden's here.

:16:04. > :16:07.Ali, plenty of trainers in the West so are we going to see a local

:16:07. > :16:12.winner? Well, over a quarter of the field is trained in the West

:16:12. > :16:16.Country - so mathematically there's a decent chance. Here's a few to

:16:16. > :16:19.look out for, complete with their colours. West End Rocker, trained

:16:19. > :16:27.by Alan King in Wiltshire, won over the National fences back in

:16:27. > :16:30.December. Or maybe Junior from the David Pipe stables in Somerset -

:16:31. > :16:35.he's looking for a hat-trick of big wins after success at Royal Ascot

:16:35. > :16:40.and Cheltenham. But the favourite is Synchronised - you probably

:16:40. > :16:43.recognise the name. Just a month ago he won the Cheltenham Gold Cup

:16:43. > :16:46.for Gloucestershire trainer, Jonjo O'Neill. And he's now out to make

:16:46. > :16:56.history by becoming only the second horse ever to win the Gold Cup and

:16:56. > :17:02.

:17:02. > :17:07.the Grand National in the same season. Here we are at the start

:17:07. > :17:14.and they get away. It's a record that's stood for 78 years - back in

:17:14. > :17:20.1934 a horse called Golden Miller completed the double. Up the

:17:20. > :17:23.straight they went. Golden Miller won. 15 horses since then have

:17:23. > :17:26.tried and failed to match that achievement. Now in 2012, it's the

:17:26. > :17:32.turn of Synchronised - trained in Temple Guiting. Just four weeks ago

:17:32. > :17:40.he won the Gold Cup. But his team believe he's fresh enough to take

:17:40. > :17:45.on the most famous four and a half miles in the sport. He feels better

:17:45. > :17:49.now than what he did before Cheltenham. So I'm happy with him.

:17:49. > :17:54.I'm happy with how he is going. It is down to him now. I don't think I

:17:54. > :18:00.will be able to watch it. I'm so scared. I just... I just hope that

:18:00. > :18:03.he comes back safe and anything else is a bonus. And of course he

:18:03. > :18:10.has 16-times champion jockey Tony McCoy on board - as at Cheltenham.

:18:10. > :18:19.If anyone can do it surely he can. They know each other well and get

:18:19. > :18:25.the best out of each other. He is a great jockey and he knows hi horses

:18:25. > :18:30.well and he just clicks with this fella. There is not many he doesn't

:18:30. > :18:33.click with, but he really clicks with this guy. Sychronised has

:18:33. > :18:36.shown he has the stamina, winning the Welsh and Midlands Nationals.

:18:36. > :18:46.Now 30 imposing fences separate him from a prominent place in racing

:18:46. > :18:46.

:18:46. > :18:49.history. Football, and Swindon Town are putting tickets on sale for

:18:49. > :18:53.next weekend's game at Gillingham, even though at present, fans are

:18:53. > :18:57.still banned. A row over the costs of policing at Gillingham means the

:18:57. > :19:04.match could be played in an empty stadium. Swindon say they will

:19:04. > :19:07.refund all tickets if the issue isn't resolved by next weekend.

:19:07. > :19:11.Tomorrow, they play Plymouth at home - a match which could confirm

:19:11. > :19:14.their promotion back to League One. This is the equation - if they win

:19:14. > :19:19.and either Torquay or Crawley lose their matches, then Swindon can

:19:19. > :19:24.start their celebrations. Otherwise they'll have to wait just a little

:19:24. > :19:27.bit longer. Now the picture isn't quite so clear-cut for Cheltenham.

:19:27. > :19:32.In early March Mark Yates' side were second in League Two, but a

:19:32. > :19:34.loss of form has seen them drop to sixth. And they have just four

:19:34. > :19:37.games left to make sure they qualify for the play-offs. Geoff

:19:37. > :19:47.Twentyman has been to see how they're preparing for the important

:19:47. > :19:48.

:19:48. > :19:53.finale. We win and lose together. We're a team and we have all got to

:19:53. > :19:59.be positive and to do everything we can to bring success for the club

:19:59. > :20:08.and this group of players is too good not to achieve. It has gone

:20:08. > :20:14.awry at what don road, they have won only once and bagged five

:20:14. > :20:20.points. The down ward spiral has seen them out of automatic

:20:20. > :20:25.promotion places. But spirits are OK. Get confidence build and get a

:20:25. > :20:32.good flow in your game. On the day it will with be a once off game.

:20:32. > :20:38.We're not there yet and we can't take our eye off that. Do you feel

:20:38. > :20:42.pressure? Does it look it. It's fresh. It's a good pressure. Of

:20:42. > :20:47.course you feel it. You want to succeed and do things and you want

:20:48. > :20:55.to win medals and get promotions. You feel the pressure of that. But

:20:55. > :20:58.no, no real pressure. Not like you know being out of work or paying

:20:58. > :21:05.bills or fighting in a war. It is pressure what you love and enjoy

:21:05. > :21:09.and what you want to feel. So yeah, just loving every minute. Clelt

:21:09. > :21:13.have four games to name this. If nay don't make the play off, it

:21:13. > :21:16.will haunt them. But they have the ability, what they have got to find

:21:16. > :21:24.now is the strength of mind and the purpose to make sure they make the

:21:24. > :21:27.play offs. That starts here tomorrow against Accrington. Rugby

:21:27. > :21:30.and Bath take on Sale tonight still hoping to qualify for next season's

:21:30. > :21:33.European Cup. The club described the recent home defeat to

:21:33. > :21:35.Northampton as embarrassing, but a win tonight would see them leapfrog

:21:36. > :21:45.Sale and put them in contention with local rivals Gloucester for

:21:46. > :21:47.

:21:47. > :21:51.the all important sixth spot in the Premiership. You can come into a

:21:51. > :21:56.game expect intensity, but if you're not accurate, you can't

:21:56. > :22:00.build that intensity. And then we need to build the intense ti. We

:22:00. > :22:08.want the qualify for Europe. That is our goal and we're looking

:22:08. > :22:17.forward too Sale on Friday and taking it from there. Goeser the

:22:17. > :22:20.take on bottom club Newcastle tomorrow afternoon. Finally, good

:22:20. > :22:22.luck to the Bristol Academy women's team who play their FA Cup semi-

:22:22. > :22:25.final this weekend against Birmingham. And the extra incentive

:22:25. > :22:29.for them is that this year's final is being staged at Bristol City's

:22:29. > :22:33.Ashton Gate. Thank you. Now when it comes to making films about natural

:22:33. > :22:36.history, the BBC in Bristol is the envy of the world. The team's had

:22:36. > :22:39.huge hits with programmes like Life on Earth and Frozen Planet and now

:22:39. > :22:41.some of the top programme makers are passing on their skills.

:22:41. > :22:51.They've joined forces with the University of the West of England

:22:51. > :22:53.

:22:53. > :22:59.and launched a new postgraduate degree course. Will Glennon reports.

:22:59. > :23:03.The only way the get closer to a lion or cheetah is to actually be

:23:03. > :23:07.one. The BBC's wildlife film makers have helped us travel the world

:23:07. > :23:11.without leaving our arm chairs. But Wen you watch the pictures, it is

:23:12. > :23:16.easy to forget real people are there with cameras, making it

:23:16. > :23:20.happen. They're work oong new series called Africa. Sometimes

:23:20. > :23:26.they have to wait months in harsh conditions to get the perfect

:23:26. > :23:29.picture. But they love it. I do it for animals, for those moments

:23:29. > :23:37.where you're either there and the experiences you have meeting an

:23:37. > :23:42.animal, the first time you meet a polar bear or a big whale, or lions.

:23:42. > :23:47.Those moments last a lifetime and live with you. I think it is a

:23:47. > :23:51.privilege to be able to show that to millions of people around the

:23:51. > :23:55.world. To keep on making top quality programmes, you need the

:23:55. > :24:01.best new talent. So the BBC's teamed up with the university of

:24:01. > :24:04.the west of England to offer a new post graduate course in wildlife

:24:04. > :24:09.film making. We believe it is a fantastic opportunity for young

:24:09. > :24:12.people to learn from the very best in the world. So it is a fantastic

:24:12. > :24:18.opportunity for Bristol and the creative industries here and an

:24:18. > :24:23.opportunity for the unit to share its expertise and help develop

:24:23. > :24:27.talents for the future. If this course was available, I would have

:24:27. > :24:34.applied for it. Everyone at my level said they wish they could

:24:34. > :24:37.have done it. That stuff is invaluable when you're starting out.

:24:37. > :24:42.And from the best people in the world. When you think you have seen

:24:42. > :24:48.it all, there is another new animal or behaviour to discover. The BBC

:24:48. > :24:53.hopes this new course will help that keep happening. The high

:24:53. > :24:58.Gration towards -- migration towards new knowledge will start in

:24:58. > :25:02.September. Very exciting. And we showed you the wrong white horse,

:25:02. > :25:08.it wasn't the Westbury you saw. Sorry about that. It shows what

:25:08. > :25:13.happens when you do things on the hoof! Now time for the weather. And

:25:13. > :25:18.hoof! Now time for the weather. And it was all happening yesterday.

:25:18. > :25:24.and as well as the euro fighters, a lot witnessed what cu thought was

:25:24. > :25:29.something extraordinary, some suggestion that one of Euro-

:25:29. > :25:33.fighters encircled this item. Images such as this show that it

:25:33. > :25:40.was actually ehear the solar balloon, you can buy those and

:25:40. > :25:46.release them or a cluster of balloons together. Certainly not a

:25:46. > :25:50.UFO. Through weekend Saturday will get under way on a damp start. But

:25:50. > :25:55.it will start the tidy up later in the afternoon. Sunday by far the

:25:55. > :26:00.better of the two days. The weekend looks dry and sunny, but with a

:26:00. > :26:03.cooler feel. And we have more of a northerly flow as the weekend

:26:03. > :26:08.starts. On Sunday we have high pressure coming through that will

:26:08. > :26:12.quieten the weather, before we get into next week and the op sit. An

:26:12. > :26:17.unsettled week. Particularly late Monday into Tuesday and Wednesday

:26:17. > :26:23.there will be a lot of rain and windy. There has been some rain

:26:23. > :26:29.today. You will see thousand this line of showers from the sea breeze

:26:29. > :26:35.from the south started to form and migrated northwards. It stalled

:26:35. > :26:38.through Bristol, still some heavy down pours over Exmoor. These will

:26:38. > :26:42.fade away and the lightning has been associated with these areas.

:26:42. > :26:46.Those in the north where you saw tit last couple of days have

:26:46. > :26:52.escaped it. Tonight the showers fade and as they do, the skies will

:26:52. > :26:56.clear. Particularly further east wards and northwards. Their coldest

:26:56. > :27:00.temperatures. There could be some fog around as well. Temperatures

:27:00. > :27:06.tonight getting down to one to Three Celsius. And could be a touch

:27:06. > :27:11.of frost. Tomorrow the clouds has returned. A trough gives cloud and

:27:11. > :27:18.some showers. Some light rain. And all of that easing its way south.

:27:18. > :27:23.So a grim start. But brightening up through the afternoon. Temperature

:27:23. > :27:28.e attempts tomorrow up to 11 Celsius. Beyond that, Sunday a

:27:28. > :27:34.better day. Temperatures around 11 Celsius. All down hill next week.

:27:34. > :27:37.Unless you want rain. Which we do need. Gardener's World are visiting
