Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight: | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
The mysterious death of the man from GCHQ. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
More details emerge today of how his body was found in a bag. Taking | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
it out on the animals - how the recession may account for an | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
increase in cruelty cases. Still parched - the experts say the | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
rain is just a drop in the ocean. All wildlife is dependent on water, | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
so if you do not get enough rain, you do not get plants and insect | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
levels suffer and so on. And flocking to the course - The | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
sheep helping to improve the skills of staff across the West. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
Good evening. First - the inquest today into the bizarre death of a | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
man from GCHQ was found dead inside a locked bag. A detective told the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
hearing that the DNA of another person was found on the padlock, | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
casting doubt on the theory that he may have locked himself in. Gareth | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Williams was a young man bordering on genius, who worked in a top | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
secret role for GCHQ in Cheltenham. Will Glennon reports on the tragedy | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
that has rocked the shadowy world of secret intelligence. Few people | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
knew much at all about Gareth Williams. A fit young man, keen | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
cyclist, he was a gifted mathematician. As a young boy he | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
had been fast-tracked to University and on to a career working for the | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
government in the secret world of Cheltenham's GCHQ. Gareth Williams | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
:01:53. | :01:53. | ||
had lived and worked in the town for 10 years. His private life was | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
just that - in all those years he had never given his landlady any | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
trouble. He was seconded to MI6 in London where in August 2010 he was | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
found in the strangest of circumstances. Missing for more | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
than a week, police entered his flat to find him dead, in a | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
padlocked bag in the bath. No signs of a break-in or of any struggle | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
whatsoever. Today, on the second day of the inquest into his death, | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
a senior detective said specks of DNA belonging to a mystery person | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
were found on the bag. Police believe a third person must have | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
been involved. It was also revealed that �20,000 worth of women's | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
designer clothes and shoes were found in the flat. So far the | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
inquest has raised more questions than answers. Why did it take so | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
long for the alarm to be raised? What did his MI6 colleagues really | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
:03:02. | :03:05. | ||
know, and who does the mystery DNA belong to? The inquest continues. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Today the inquest in London were shown police footage and new | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
information about DNA found inside bathroom of Mr Williams flat. Our | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
:03:22. | :03:25. | ||
reporter has been in court today and joins us now. There was a lot | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
of footage shown in court this morning. We saw the police video | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
which was a walk through the flat. It was filmed on the night Gareth | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
Williams's body was found. M Reed up the stairs, showing clothes in | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
the bedroom upstairs. -- it leads. It goes into the bathroom where the | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
big red holdall back was seen inside the Bath, the police knew by | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
then there was a body inside the back. That video was important but | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
also said never been was a reconstruction by a computer and 3D | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
imaging of a red back, showing what it would look like with a body | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
inside, curled up in a foetal position and also showing were the | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
keys would be. Two keys inside and the padlock outside. What about DNA | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
evidence found inside the flat? This DNA testing, the profiling | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
could be important. It shows that on the outside, on the fabric of | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
the bag, on the zip fastener where the padlock was, their work to | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
contributory DNA. That is how the police referred to it. -- there | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
where. The DNA was not related to Gareth Williams. There was another | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
sample of blood to again not relate it. That leads them to think that | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
there may have been someone else there at that time. What do you | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
know about his emotional state, was he happy in London or keen to come | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
back to Cheltenham? What has been very revealing in the last few days | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
is that Gareth Williams has spent most of his time working for GCHQ | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
in Cheltenham, then he was seconded to MI6 M London. He was on the | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
verge of returning to Cheltenham. He was unhappy in London and with | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
the working culture in Vauxhall where MI6 have their headquarters. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
He was not happy with the attitude of some people, according to some | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
of the evidence we have heard. He wanted to go back to Cheltenham and | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
was about to do so, he had been feeling despondent but was now | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
feeling more upbeat and looking forward to leaving London and | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
returning to Cheltenham. Thank you very much. | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
The authorities in Wiltshire have been criticised for failing to | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
protect vulnerable children. Ofsted found intervention in cases to be | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
inadequate. Will share council which runs the service said it was | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
making improvements. -- will share council. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
There has been a sharp increase in the number of cases of cruelty to | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
animals and the West. The RSPCA says convictions for neglect up by | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
62 per cent on last year. It partly blames economic recession for the | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
rise. Our reporter has been taking a closer look at the story and | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
joins us from Horseworld near Bristol, which cares for some of | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
the badly treated or unwanted animals. Yes, Horseworld is just | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
one of the places that helps the RSPCA with the animals it rescues. | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
Let me assure you this horse and Poppy who is eight hours old. She | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
was a rescue horse. We will find out more about her in just a moment. | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
It is not just horses but all kinds of animals. The rise in the neglect | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
of animals is just not acceptable say the RSPCA. It also puts the | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
charity under increasing pressure. This is Jack - a lively, energetic | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
four year-old collie with a bit of a mixture thrown in. Look carefully | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
and you'll see has only got three legs, not that you would know it! | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
He is one of the lucky ones, rescued from an abusive home. He | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
was thrown out with injuries so bad he had to have his leg amputated. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
He was treated here at the RSPCA Animal Clinic in Bristol where all | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
cruelty and neglect cases are assessed. It has never been busier. | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
We seem to see a lot more animals whose owners are very often cannot | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
afford or do not want to be afford to look after them properly. There | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
is a lot of ignorance involved. People fail to get help for their | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
pets. We are in Bristol which is a large city and a lot of people are | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
living on the edge. In this current economic climate, if something goes | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
wrong with the animal, it is too expensive to go to the vet's. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Every year the charity prosecutes people for their cruelty. A couple | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
from Somerset were banned from keeping animals we eight years | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
after inspectors found they had been keeping 56 stocks, three cats | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
and 6 first in their small semi in Minehead. This man was jailed for | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
stabbing and slitting the throat of his partner's pep-talk - at the 10 | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
charity said as one of the worst cases of its kind that it had ever | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
seen. All levels of abuse to dealt with. Prosecutions in the West are | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
up from 127 in 2010 to 204 in 2011. The RSPCA says the thousands of | :08:58. | :09:08. | |
:09:08. | :09:12. | ||
calls it deals with are putting a real strain on its resources. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
are trying to cope with many more complaints come the end, rising | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
costs, fuel rises, it is really expensive for us. They are the same | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
as everyone, tightening our belts but coping with an increase in need. | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
The charity says the last thing it wants to do is send people to | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
prison - or separate pets from the owners. But if the animals' welfare | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
cannot be guaranteed, there is little option. This is a lovely | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
picture but it covers a sorry tale because his horse was a rescue | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
horse. Horses like her come in, what can you do for them? Often | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
they are emaciated, Fenn and sec. They may have been involved in car | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
accidents. -- Fine and sick. Some of them have been hurt deliberately | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
and some people cannot afford to keep them. Most of them in the | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
latter I would say. Most people get in trouble and find they cannot | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
afford horses and also indifference to suffering. People are where they | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
are suffering but do nothing about it. This horse came in pregnant | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
which I suppose is a problem for you? We see a lot of over breeding. | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
People hoped to make money from horses by getting them pregnant. | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
The market has been awash with these animals. People do not want | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
to buy them but people continue to breed them, compounding the problem. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
Thank you very much. She is a lovely horse. But it is a very | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
serious problem for these charities. This is your regional news | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
programme, Points West tonight. Stay with us as there is much more | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
to bring you - including... The man in charge of Cheltenham racecourse | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
for more than 30 years gives up the reins. And after a day of sunshine | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
and showers, EON will be here with the latest weather forecast. | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
And I will meet a sheep later on as well. What about that later. Back | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
to the weather first. We may have got soaked in the last few days but | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
we're still in a drought. Experts warned it could be months before | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
restrictions are lifted. Water, water everywhere at the | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Cotswold Water Park but to the trained eye, there are signs that | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
the current drought conditions are affecting the 40 square mile area. | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
The Environment Agency and wildlife organisations actively monitoring | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
the impact of the dry spell on wildlife but what is becoming clear | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
to many is the physical changes to our truck -- to our landscape as | :12:07. | :12:17. | |
the drought bites. This ground is hard so any rain we get runs off. | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
We have been doing predator control for the water vole and would expect | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
that to give results where water voles would be seen to be spreading | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
in other stretches of the ever. But because the rivers are dry, the | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
water voles are not spreading as quickly as we would like. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Another victim - the river Kennet in Wiltshire. Normally the river | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
should be in full flow here. And in Swindon they are trying to repair | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
the damage caused by the recent dry spell. We put 60 tons of sand on | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
the pitch to fill in their cracks. But now after rain on and off for | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
the past week, is there any sign that the drought is coming to an | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
end? Water scientist Terry Marsh who works for the National | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Environment Research Council based in Swindon says the rain may be | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
falling out but none of it is getting to where needs to be - deep | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
underground. There is a great deal which needs to be made up. Through | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
the summer have here, much of that rain will be lost through a | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
evaporation so where are looking to next autumn and winter to top up | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
groundwater stores. For the time being, there is no end in sight and | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
the drought restrictions will not be lifted. | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
There is controversy over how much power and what boundaries an | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
elected mayor for Bristol should have. The Prime Minister appealed | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
yesterday for a Yes vote in next week's referendum. But it is only | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
those living in the city council area who are involved. Today there | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
has been a call for that to be enlarged - provoking some anger. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
Here is our political editor. When David Cameron made his appeal | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
to people of Bristol yesterday, he did not mean more than 100,000 | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
residents who live in the suburbs. Because this is a city divided | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
along old local government lines which can appear pretty bizarre. | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
Look at the map and you can see the metropolis that is Bristol. But an | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
elected mayor would not take charge of all this. Put in the local | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
government boundaries, and you can see how large swathes are not run | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
by the city council. Big areas in the north and east are part of | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
South Gloucestershire, while other suburbs fall within North Somerset | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
and Bath and North East Somerset - all outside the domain of an | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
elected mayor. Today are reported by a respected think tank, the | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
Centre for Cities, said that should change. We have found from our work | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
with international cities, if you are thinking about supporting the | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
economy, and mayor who covers the real economies, businesses | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
recognise and people travel around when they're going to work or | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
leisure, that can have real benefits because she can make | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
decisions about transport, skills and planning over a wider area | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
which is where businesses tend to work. | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
But for many voters that sounds like a return to Avon. 40 years ago | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
they opened the headquarters of the newly created county. There was | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
never liked much, and was abolished in 1996. There is staunch | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
opposition to anything that might resemble it. As for voters, council | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
boundaries and mayoral powers remain a bit of an unknown. I live | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
in South Gloucestershire so I do not know if I get to vote for or | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
not. I am not against it, but I do not know what powers they will have. | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
I think that is ridiculous really. I think you should encompass a | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
greater area. I think there will be a power were there they cannot use. | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
The vote next week is to decide whether to have an elected mayor in | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
charge at the Council House. The Government say his or her empire | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
could be expanded, but it might take many years. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Edward Gillespie - the man who has managed Cheltenham racecourse for | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
the last 32 years is to stand down. He took over in 1980 in during his | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
time in charge has seen it become one of the most famous and best run | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
courses in the world. David Passmore is here, you have seen | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
Edward Gillespie in action for much of his time in charge. Yes, not | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
quite from the start but he has always been the most professional | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
and unflappable administrator. Horse racing has a reputation for | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
running like clockwork but Cheltenham led the way in | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
modernising the sport and improving facilities. I will always remember | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
him as a picture of calm at the height of the festival as 60,000 | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
spectators packed the course, cheering the horses home. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
A man who is always happiest letting the stars of the sport make | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
the headlines. But he's not afraid to take the lead when necessary - | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
here taking part in a flash mob dance during the Cheltenham | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
Festival for cancer research. was thrilling and lovely to see | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
people enjoying themselves in the sunshine. | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
They first raced at Prestbury Park in 1831 and in the 1930s it was | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
well established as the home of National Hunt Racing. Edward | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
Gillespie took charge in 1980 and has overseen investment worth �80m | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
making huge changes to the course which continues to show the way for | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
others in Britain and around the world. | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
The annual festival in March is the highlight of the National Hunt | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
season but there are a total of 8 meetings every year and the Centaur | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
centre is booked out for more than 100 functions a year. One of his | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
finest hours came when racing had to be called off for the day when | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
strong winds threatened the safety of the tented hospitality village | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
in 2008. From that decision at 9.00am the entire programme for the | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
final two days was rescheduled by midday and everything ran like | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
clockwork. On a lighter note he also led the | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
way in a promotional video for the course. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
So after being in charge of so many changes over the years - he will | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
now stand down when a successor is in place and will help plan the | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
next phase of development at the course. Today was business as | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
normal as Edward Gillespie was involved in meetings in London and | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
he told me from our Westminster studio what he felt was unique | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
about Cheltenham racecourse. Him I do not know of any other sporting | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
location or place in the 21st century where you have that mix of | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
people enjoying top-level sport and the fact that the horses are | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
absolutely essential to it. It is the only venue I know where the | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
only vehicle allowed up the main drive our horse boxes. As soon as | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
you arrive, horses are everywhere. That mix of horses and people is | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
the essence of Cheltenham. Because it is so high profile, where you | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
worried when things went wrong, you had to be a spokesman for the | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
sport? Over the 32 years I have been in post, I have had many times | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
when something terrible has happened and often sadly, that | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
affects the horses. We have had some dark days and we all grieve as | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
much as people watching from afar. It takes a great deal to get over | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
that. I think it is important we put that in perspective. The sport | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
would not be what it is without that element of risk. How important | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
do you think Cheltenham racecourse is to the wall support? It is | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
extremely important. It is the key economic driver for the sport. | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
Locally, it is very important because the festival alone is | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
probably worth �50 million to the local economy. Yes, its position in | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
support in jump racing in Britain and Ireland is absolutely at the | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
pinnacle. We hope it will move further up and attract even more | :20:12. | :20:20. | |
horses, perhaps from France and elsewhere as it moves forward. | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
Thank you very much. Briefly in snooker - despite | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
suffering with a food-poisoning, Bristol's Judd Trump has the lead | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
in his first-round match at the World Championships. The 22 year- | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
old looked decidedly off-colour as Dominic Dale took the first frame. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
But Trump, who made it to the final last year, started to find his form | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
and has a five frames to four lead going into tomorrow's second | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
session. This evening, Stephen Lee from Trowbridge will finish his | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
match against Andrew Higginson. That's starting at 7.00 o'clock and | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
you can watch the action on the red button. | :20:50. | :21:00. | |

Now - I've come outside to meet Dolly the Sheep. Dolly - believe it | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
or not is being used to help teach people how to be better managers. | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
Staff from Ikea are the latest to benefit. It's the brainchild of | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
this man - who is a shepherd from Devizes. In a moment I'll be | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
talking to him - but first Scott Ellis has been to see Dolly and her | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
friends in action. 10 sheep. One pen. And a flock of | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
:21:34. | :21:51. | ||
Ikea staff from Bristol. How hard The sheep are making us look like | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
idiots. Getting those sheep in that pen is a tough task. Devizes | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
shepherd Chris Farnsworth realised they'd make the ideal corporate | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
training tool. A challenege for any work team. They have to have a | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
clear understanding of what the plan s, and they have to be very | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
committed to doing it. It is really interesting because there she will | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
read their energy and if there is a weak spot, they will run through it. | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
-- the sheep will read their energy. The city slickers haven't given up. | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
They want to win this town v country showdown. Hours of ideas - | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
a bit of brainstorming - even new herding techniques. Finally - the | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
:22:43. | :22:45. | ||
perfect pincer movement. It was good fun, a bit tiring, finally we | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
got the sheep then, great fun. trying runs straight three you, you | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
have to stand your ground and be dominant. I learned a lot from it. | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
Persistence paid off. It is clear to see why we work in a shop and we | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
do not farm. Stand aside and serve customers. There's plenty of post | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
match analysis. When trainees discuss who's a leader. And who's a | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
follower. It's certainly a novel training idea. And it's a new | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
outlet for this self styled half shepherd half businessman from | :23:18. | :23:28. | |
:23:28. | :23:39. | ||
Devizes. Chris Farnsworth is with me now. | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
Why do managers need to treat staff like sheep? The sheep have got a | :23:45. | :23:55. | |
:23:55. | :23:56. | ||
lot to teach us for. She obviously like she a great deal! End work, | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
you can see how it you would do in exercise. You need management | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
techniques to be able to control a flock of sheep is what you're | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
saying? You do. You see the programme One man And his Dog and | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
you see how they work well together. It is about communication, the dog | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
listening to the shepherd. If I am a member of staff, I do not want to | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
be treated like a sheep! Is the idea catching on? You are a | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
businessman and a shepherd. Yes, people like Ikea are coming out and | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
doing is several times over with their core workers and they find it | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
gives them a bigger picture of a team together. Thank you very much. | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
You should have worn a sheepskin coat because it is cold. Let us | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
:25:02. | :25:04. | ||
catch up with the weather. And available for work. | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
I am not on the roof actually. You are outdoors for a once. If you're | :25:09. | :25:13. | |

of today, we continue to see lightning around towards Bridgwater. | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
These other storms have decayed. Were we still have showers, they | :26:21. | :26:29. | |
