:00:15. > :00:20.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight:

:00:20. > :00:23.Flooding and heavy rain cause major problems across the region.

:00:23. > :00:26.One of the West's biggest equestrian events is cancelled due

:00:26. > :00:36.to a waterlogged course. Roads are closed, homes flooded and

:00:36. > :00:37.

:00:37. > :00:44.hundreds of acres of land are under water in Somerset. It was a torrent.

:00:44. > :00:47.Sandbags were being washed down the driveway and it has flooded before,

:00:47. > :00:49.but not this bout. Also tonight: Doubling production

:00:49. > :00:52.as Honda provides an extra shift for 500 new workers.

:00:52. > :01:02.And working her way West on the Diamond Jubilee tour - Dorset,

:01:02. > :01:04.

:01:04. > :01:07.Somerset and Wiltshire prepare for Good evening. There are warnings

:01:07. > :01:11.there could be more flooding across the West tonight, as further heavy

:01:11. > :01:15.rain is forecast. Today, one of the region's biggest sporting events

:01:15. > :01:18.was called off for only the second time in its history.

:01:18. > :01:20.Organisers of the Badminton Horse Trials were forced to make the

:01:20. > :01:26.decision after admitting the waterlogged course will never dry

:01:26. > :01:36.out in time for the start later this week. Our Gloucestershire

:01:36. > :01:37.

:01:37. > :01:44.reporter, Steve Knibbs is there now. Steve, a huge disappointment.

:01:44. > :01:48.It is a massive blow for the people here. And for the equestrian world

:01:48. > :01:52.in general. You can see one of the most famous jumps here, the

:01:52. > :01:57.staircase. It has been a strange day because the sun has been out

:01:57. > :02:03.and the scenery looks amazing, but there is a very tangible reason why

:02:03. > :02:07.Badminton this year cannot go ahead. You can hear and see it. This water

:02:07. > :02:13.at the bottom of the staircase should not be here. They had a

:02:13. > :02:18.day's rain in just six hours so the course is waterlogged. Like their

:02:18. > :02:25.International Air tattoo a few years ago, yet another world famous

:02:25. > :02:32.West Country event has succumbed to the British weather.

:02:32. > :02:36.The surge of water has dampened hopes and dreams. With expectations

:02:36. > :02:40.high, the exceptional weather has taken its toll. A waterlogged

:02:40. > :02:46.course has left organisers with a heavy heart, but no choice to

:02:46. > :02:51.cancel. We had so much water, standing water everywhere. The

:02:51. > :02:55.ground is saturated. There is no chance of getting horseboxes in and

:02:55. > :03:00.out all spectators cars in-and-out of the car-park. No chance of

:03:00. > :03:06.getting the lorries for the trade stands in. And nightmare. 85 riders

:03:06. > :03:12.were on their way from 12 different countries. For many, a place in the

:03:12. > :03:16.Olympics was at stake. This former Badminton champion has his sights

:03:16. > :03:21.on a place in the Australian team. This is important for a lot of

:03:21. > :03:26.riders for selection and qualification for the Olympics. My

:03:26. > :03:33.top horse was due to get his qualification at this event so, yes,

:03:33. > :03:37.it has been reason for a lot of replanning. The course is taking

:03:37. > :03:42.hit and so are the traders. After spending the weekend setting up, it

:03:42. > :03:47.was time to pack away without taking a penny. An enormous amount

:03:47. > :03:50.of work has gone in. We have been here for several days already. You

:03:50. > :03:56.have seen a van load of stuff we bought in which we unpacked

:03:56. > :04:04.yesterday. Now it is taking several hours to reload it. It is a big

:04:04. > :04:08.disappointment. All of the stall holders will be disappointed.

:04:08. > :04:13.restaurants and hotels were getting ready for what should have been the

:04:13. > :04:18.busiest time of the year. We would just pick up the pieces as best as

:04:18. > :04:23.we can. Some people might come and decide to have a few days' break,

:04:23. > :04:27.but I doubt it. That on the course there is nothing else to do but

:04:27. > :04:33.pack up and give refunds. The course used to be held in April,

:04:33. > :04:37.but was moved to make to avoid bad weather. Organisers are hoping this

:04:37. > :04:43.is an exception. The cancellation of the event has

:04:44. > :04:49.knock-on effects, doesn't it? Yes, not just here on the course,

:04:50. > :04:53.you have betrayed us, pubs, restaurants and hotels. For this

:04:53. > :04:57.bought in general this is an Olympic year and badminton is the

:04:57. > :05:03.pinnacle. It is the Grade A event and they are desperately trying to

:05:03. > :05:08.get into other events around the world with their eye on her Olympic

:05:08. > :05:13.selection. Not just the riders, the horses. Other events are not the

:05:13. > :05:18.grade A that they have here. In it also does not give them enough time

:05:19. > :05:23.to recover before 2012. The weather not just disrupting events like

:05:23. > :05:30.this, it has caused problems right across the region with roads closed

:05:30. > :05:34.and hundreds of acres of land under water.

:05:34. > :05:40.The rain may have stopped for now, but you only have to look behind me

:05:40. > :05:44.at an angry river to see that the problems are far from over. The

:05:44. > :05:48.rain is coming of the high ground and swelling watercourses. This

:05:48. > :05:53.happened in the last half-hour, water coming across the footpath

:05:53. > :05:59.and into a children's play area. In the last 36 hours, the weather has

:05:59. > :06:02.caused disruption across the Only from the air can you get a

:06:02. > :06:08.true feel for the extent of the flooding in Somerset - hundreds of

:06:08. > :06:18.acres underwater. This is Creech St Michael near Taunton, part of the

:06:18. > :06:27.village virtually marooned. It doesn't look much better from the

:06:27. > :06:33.ground either, though locals were on hand to give advice. I could not

:06:33. > :06:38.get to college today so I thought I would make money and advice people

:06:38. > :06:41.as to whether their cars can get through for the bargain price of �1.

:06:42. > :06:49.Those who did try to navigate the roads were to regret it. And he

:06:49. > :06:56.wasn't the only one. Believe it or not, this is a cricket pitch.

:06:56. > :07:01.The game is clearly off. And within minutes the water had

:07:02. > :07:10.also started rushing into the town's park next door. Now it's

:07:10. > :07:15.completely underwater and shut to the public. I had some people last

:07:15. > :07:19.night he wanted to bring can use in and I said no for health and safety

:07:19. > :07:23.reasons. I have also had kids would serve boards going down the river,

:07:23. > :07:27.but just please stay away for two or three days.

:07:27. > :07:30.It's been a question of just making the best of it. For some it's a

:07:30. > :07:33.chance to have fun - this man even chanced his arm jet skiing on a

:07:33. > :07:36.road in Frome. In the hamlet of Stoford, just outside Taunton,

:07:36. > :07:39.these cottages were flooded and the fire brigade had to help a local

:07:39. > :07:49.farmer rescue people who were marooned by the sudden rise of the

:07:49. > :07:55.

:07:55. > :08:02.water. It was a torrent. Sandbags were being washed down the driveway.

:08:02. > :08:06.It has flooded before, but probably not this bad. High wind added to

:08:06. > :08:12.the problems bringing down trees and power cables. It is thought

:08:12. > :08:16.that all those without power have now been reconnected. This

:08:16. > :08:20.afternoon, the Environment Agency had 22 flood warnings in place and

:08:20. > :08:30.not just in Somerset. There are problems along the River Severn in

:08:30. > :08:36.

:08:36. > :08:38.Gloucestershire and parts of Tewkesbury after heavy rain, at the

:08:38. > :08:43.flooding is rising. People are being advised to stay

:08:43. > :08:47.out of the flood water and be prepared if homes are at risk.

:08:47. > :08:52.Anyone who lives in a flood risk zone should take precautions and be

:08:52. > :08:58.prepared and know what to do if a flood comes. There are a lot of

:08:58. > :09:03.things you can do. Driving, walking, canoeing through flood water can be

:09:03. > :09:07.extremely risky and dangerous. the trains, the main line between

:09:07. > :09:13.Swindon and Wales was closed because of flooding. Engineers

:09:13. > :09:16.worked all day to try and pump away the water. This prima school in

:09:16. > :09:21.north Somerset was saved by the fire service when a flood water was

:09:21. > :09:26.lapping at the school door. They came and pumped it all out and they

:09:26. > :09:32.have actually constructed a sort of water away here for the water to

:09:32. > :09:37.flow down into our storm drain. This call was this close to being

:09:37. > :09:43.flooded, which would have taken out two classrooms, our library and our

:09:43. > :09:48.hall at the least. The River Avon is still on flood alert into Bath.

:09:48. > :09:52.Many places were close to bursting last night. Since its peak, the

:09:52. > :09:57.River Avon has begun to drop a little. It was another three-and-a-

:09:57. > :10:02.half feet further up. People living here say they have not seen this

:10:02. > :10:06.much water coming down the river since 2009. A month ago I could

:10:06. > :10:11.have been standing 15 ft into the river and not even been wet.

:10:11. > :10:16.The beer garden at this pub is normally their pride and joy. Last

:10:16. > :10:20.night, staff had to rush out and save their tables. When I got to

:10:21. > :10:25.work it had only got to the second run up on the fence and the benches

:10:25. > :10:30.were still above the water. As we carried on, the river was coming up

:10:30. > :10:33.further and further so we had to come down in the end and wrote the

:10:33. > :10:38.tables together and tie them to the fence to make sure we did not lose

:10:38. > :10:43.them. The worst has passed for now for both the River Avon and the

:10:43. > :10:47.Frome. They remain on flood alert. More rain is expected in the next

:10:47. > :10:51.few days. Elizabeth Austen is here with us

:10:51. > :10:58.now. Elizabeth, some very heavy rain in the past few days. How does

:10:58. > :11:03.this compare to other Aprils? This time last year it was for the

:11:03. > :11:08.most part quite dry and sunny. The last wet April was in the year 2000,

:11:08. > :11:14.but we just had it confirmed from the Met Office that this is the

:11:14. > :11:19.wettest April since records began. Tonight for the west, we are going

:11:19. > :11:24.to be that as well. The wettest April for the West since records

:11:24. > :11:28.began. The reason why is because when it was trying March, the jet

:11:28. > :11:33.stream was to the north of us, now it is to the south allowing low

:11:33. > :11:36.pressure to give us wet weather. More rain on the way tonight.

:11:36. > :11:39.Elizabeth will be back to the fall forecast in a little while.

:11:39. > :11:43.The Environment Agency has a number of flood warnings in place around

:11:43. > :11:45.our region this evening. The main areas on the watch list include the

:11:45. > :11:50.River Severn around Gloucester and Tewkesbury, areas around Watchet on

:11:50. > :11:54.the Somerset coast and the River Tone. You can see the full list on

:11:54. > :11:57.the environment agency website. And of course, there's no better place

:11:57. > :12:01.for the latest information than your BBC local radio station or

:12:01. > :12:04.online. In other news tonight, Honda's

:12:04. > :12:09.doubling production at its car plant in Swindon raising hopes the

:12:09. > :12:13.company's fortunes are improving. This follows the problems caused by

:12:13. > :12:16.the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. 500 newly trained staff will add an

:12:17. > :12:26.extra shift at the factory, with hopes a new Civic model will boost

:12:27. > :12:28.

:12:28. > :12:34.sales abroad. Scott Ellis reports. 500 recent recruits to Honda are

:12:34. > :12:40.now on shift in Swindon. There are helping build 180,000 vehicles per

:12:40. > :12:46.year. It is not quite the quarter million of the 2007 a day, but

:12:46. > :12:51.there are signs of optimism. I have been here almost 26 years so I know

:12:51. > :12:55.when we were up in those volumes. This is a start of us moving

:12:55. > :13:00.forward from a production perspective. I am looking forward

:13:00. > :13:06.to good times again. Let the cars and the good times roll. Honda has

:13:06. > :13:11.had some tough times. First the recession in June 2009 which led to

:13:11. > :13:17.a four-month shutdown at the Swindon plant. 1000 staff lost jobs.

:13:17. > :13:22.Last year the Japanese earthquake saw production halved with workers

:13:22. > :13:27.on a two-day week. Then production was cut in October after floods in

:13:27. > :13:32.Thailand disrupted supplies of electronic parts. Some industry

:13:32. > :13:38.experts say that Honda have also had problems of their own making.

:13:38. > :13:43.Models have not sold as well as other models. Nissan is producing

:13:43. > :13:49.over 400,000 cars in the UK at the moment as opposed to Honda's

:13:49. > :13:54.180,000. That is a real issue. the showrooms, hopes are high for

:13:54. > :14:00.the new suit -- Civic. Salesmen have been having a tough time, as

:14:00. > :14:04.well. A lack of supply and a lack of money in the economy. There are

:14:04. > :14:12.maybe some green sheets out there and towards the end of this year we

:14:12. > :14:16.should see demand pick up and sales increase. In the UK, car sales are

:14:16. > :14:21.down but, new factoring is booming. It is up 20% across all makes as

:14:21. > :14:24.the likes of Honda in Swindon feed a global market.

:14:24. > :14:27.A lorry driver from Yeovil, who crashed a petrol tanker into his

:14:27. > :14:31.family home, has been jailed for seven years. Hugh Billington drove

:14:31. > :14:35.the lorry into the bungalow in Wool in Dorset. His estranged wife,

:14:35. > :14:38.Christine, had to escape through a window after fire broke out. The

:14:38. > :14:40.51-year-old admitted arson and assault by beating and theft. The

:14:40. > :14:43.judge told Billington he was "wickedly irresponsible".

:14:43. > :14:48.Now, another good reason to hope the weather improves because we've

:14:48. > :14:50.got some rather important guests visiting the west this week. The

:14:50. > :14:53.Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will be in Wiltshire, Somerset and

:14:53. > :15:02.Dorset over the next two days and preparations are well underway for

:15:02. > :15:06.their arrival tomorrow in Sherborne. Laura Jones reports.

:15:06. > :15:08.Music fit for a queen. And a good job too because tomorrow, 13-year-

:15:08. > :15:13.old Lydia Shepherd will be performing for Her Majesty in

:15:13. > :15:16.Salisbury cathedral. Not only that, but a composition by

:15:16. > :15:24.the schoolgirl from Bath has also been chosen to greet the Queen as

:15:24. > :15:29.she arrives at the cathedral. built it up as a big climax towards

:15:29. > :15:34.their and four when she is coming into the cathedral. It ended with a

:15:34. > :15:39.drum roll and then she will be their and I tried to make it quite

:15:39. > :15:42.slow so she can walk into it at a steady time. I am quite excited

:15:42. > :15:45.about her coming. She's not the only one. In February

:15:45. > :15:53.1952, whilst stationed with her husband in Kenya, Jean Weber was

:15:53. > :15:57.preparing to meet the then Princess Elizabeth who was on holiday nearby.

:15:57. > :16:02.We were expecting her and Prince Philip to come for lunch in our

:16:02. > :16:07.mess. All of the wives were busy doing flowers and decorations for

:16:07. > :16:13.the occasion. We got the message in the morning saying that the King

:16:13. > :16:17.had died and the Queen would drive through our encampment down to

:16:17. > :16:20.their airstrip and a wave. The rest is history. 60 years on, when the

:16:20. > :16:27.Queen visits Crewkerne on Wednesday, Jean is hoping to finally get to

:16:27. > :16:34.see her. My son is going to come with me to see her go by. I have

:16:34. > :16:40.not ever seen her before. What will that mean to you? Well, it is a

:16:40. > :16:43.long time. I have always admired her terrifically. I think, for her

:16:44. > :16:46.age, she is remarkable. Elsewhere, in Sherborne, the palace

:16:46. > :16:56.apparently requested something light hearted - a mad hatter's tea

:16:56. > :16:59.

:16:59. > :17:02.party. I basically did the playing cards of the Queen's army. My hat

:17:02. > :17:07.is based on Alice because what she is doing before she has a dream

:17:07. > :17:10.about Wonderland, her mum is reading her really advanced pork.

:17:10. > :17:19.Royal visits to the west usually prove popular and this Jubilee year,

:17:19. > :17:21.rain or no rain, the crowds are likely to be out in force. We will

:17:21. > :17:24.have full coverage over the next couple of

:17:24. > :17:27.Budding young artists have been creating a piece of artwork to

:17:27. > :17:31.celebrate the Queen's Jubilee as part of a competition being run by

:17:31. > :17:33.Avon and Somerset police. Today's launch took place at The Mall,

:17:34. > :17:36.Cribbs Causeway, where two West Country artists led a children's

:17:37. > :17:43.workshop. The winners from five regional exhibitions will be

:17:43. > :17:46.displayed at The Royal West of England Academy in Bristol in July.

:17:46. > :17:49.It was a gamble and it paid off. When Swindon appointed Paolo di

:17:49. > :17:54.Canio as manager last summer, many predicted it could all go horribly

:17:54. > :17:58.wrong. But now they've been crowned League Two Champions. The chairman

:17:58. > :18:00.who made the call is delighted that his club will be challenging for

:18:00. > :18:04.another promotion next season. David Passmore reports on

:18:04. > :18:13."Swindon's Big Paolo Gamble". You make your choice and roll the

:18:13. > :18:18.dice. It was a controversial decision, it was bold. Given the

:18:18. > :18:23.opportunity of someone with a clean sheet of paper compared to other

:18:23. > :18:26.CVs that we have handed in, it is a strange job where people seem to

:18:26. > :18:29.think that being sacked in previous jobs makes them the perfect

:18:29. > :18:32.candidate. After an opening day win, three

:18:32. > :18:35.defeats, the last at the hands of rivals Oxford, frustrated fans, the

:18:35. > :18:43.manager too - repeatedly sent to the stands and at one point

:18:43. > :18:46.fighting with his own player. But the turning point came on new

:18:46. > :18:49.year's eve with the first of a record breaking ten match winning

:18:49. > :18:53.run to take them top and they never looked back. All along he never

:18:53. > :18:55.apologised for his style - it was part of his culture! I have a

:18:55. > :19:03.culture. I do not stop my culture. I sometimes speaks with my body

:19:03. > :19:06.language and English referee has to respect me. The turning point game

:19:06. > :19:08.I New year's Eve where they have stayed on top ever since.

:19:08. > :19:16.Saturday's celebrations - a delighted manager and the chairman

:19:16. > :19:20.who appointed him. You took a bold decision to employee a previously

:19:20. > :19:26.untried manager and it has worked out well. I am really thrilled

:19:26. > :19:31.about that, to be honest. There is no doubt it was a we -- risk and

:19:31. > :19:37.after five games it was not looking clever. But we believed in him.

:19:37. > :19:42.What can you ask more? We finished champions. At the beginning it was

:19:42. > :19:46.tough but during the season they were amazing. They deserve to be

:19:46. > :19:48.called champions. So with manager and chairman aiming

:19:48. > :19:52.for back to back promotions, there's some tough talking as Paolo

:19:52. > :19:54.di Canio builds a squad for the next phase of what could be a long

:19:55. > :19:58.managerial career. Swindon are hoping that the gamble continues to

:19:58. > :20:01.pay off and he will be at the county ground for as long as

:20:01. > :20:04.possible. There were some impressive results

:20:04. > :20:09.for our other local teams over the weekend including another big home

:20:09. > :20:19.win for Bristol Rovers. Don't forget you can see all the goals on

:20:19. > :20:23.

:20:23. > :20:26.the sport pages of the BBC website. You're probably familiar with the

:20:26. > :20:28.BBC's Planet Earth- a landmark series which was produced by the

:20:28. > :20:31.Natural History Unit here in Bristol. Well, now the world class

:20:31. > :20:33.production team is getting even more ambitious and on Sunday

:20:33. > :20:36.they'll be starting Planet Earth Live capturing events in the

:20:36. > :20:39.natural world around us as they happen. Tim Scoones is the

:20:39. > :20:41.executive producer of the programme and we're lucky enough to have him

:20:41. > :20:45.with us tonight. Tim what can we expect?

:20:45. > :20:50.As you say, everyone is aware of the output of the BBC Natural

:20:50. > :20:55.History and those big global landmark series. We have just had

:20:55. > :21:00.frozen planet, but over the last 10 years we have been innovating in

:21:00. > :21:05.live broadcasting. Springwatch, autumn watch, big cat live, things

:21:05. > :21:10.like that. This is a new way of approaching life -- wildlife to see

:21:10. > :21:15.things as they happen. We have been dreaming of bringing these together

:21:15. > :21:20.so now we are going to do this all around the world bringing it to you

:21:20. > :21:24.live. You have some big plans and big stories to tell and some big

:21:24. > :21:30.storyteller's? We have. We are joined by Richard Hammond normally

:21:30. > :21:36.known for top beer. Many people don't know that he has been a

:21:37. > :21:43.lifelong fan of wildlife. He is going to be a fantastic asset to be

:21:43. > :21:48.so -- show. We also have Julia Bradbury from Country File Hook is

:21:48. > :21:52.sought a presenter that brings so much to a series. We are lucky

:21:52. > :21:58.enough to already have Julia go around the world with a back story

:21:58. > :22:02.of some of the creatures. We have a clip of her here now meeting a new

:22:02. > :22:06.special friend. We have made friends here. There is an

:22:06. > :22:12.overwhelming view. They are communicating with one another,

:22:12. > :22:18.they are communicating with us and when you look in I are the grey

:22:18. > :22:27.whale, it is so soulful and peaceful. It is absolutely

:22:27. > :22:34.incredible. They make me want to cry. That looks phenomenal. Tim,

:22:34. > :22:40.this is ambitious, isn't it? Just how ambitious? Five continents, six

:22:40. > :22:44.countries, most of it live in a moment as it happens. There was a

:22:44. > :22:48.clip their from Julia, we have hardly filmed anything at all and

:22:48. > :22:53.we go live on Sunday. This is like a great big news programme bringing

:22:53. > :22:59.in reports from all over the world. From Sri Lanka to northern USA,

:22:59. > :23:05.from the Arctic to the Peruvian Amazon on and in Africa where

:23:05. > :23:09.Richard Hammond is based with lions and elephants. A huge operation

:23:09. > :23:14.live in real time, but I am proud to say that the nerve centre of

:23:14. > :23:21.this is good old BBC Bristol. This is the heart of natural history and

:23:21. > :23:26.we will be broadcasting year to 140 countries worldwide. We have a lot

:23:26. > :23:31.of kit coming-together now a nature writes the script so it his fingers

:23:31. > :23:37.crossed from now. You're telling this global story very quickly with

:23:37. > :23:42.lots of little stories? That is right. It is like a great big soap

:23:42. > :23:46.opera. A reality show and a soap opera at the same time. As lions

:23:46. > :23:51.stories develop, we have to stay abreast of that and work out what

:23:51. > :23:57.is happening next. Already we have had to rewrite alliance story two

:23:57. > :24:01.or three times this week. There are amazing things happening. I wish we

:24:02. > :24:08.had more time! It starts this Sunday, the very best of luck with

:24:08. > :24:11.I hope the nerves hold up. Right, we have been talking about

:24:11. > :24:13.the weather, Elizabeth is here with the forecast.

:24:13. > :24:20.the forecast. We just heard it confirmed from the

:24:20. > :24:23.Met Office that it is the wettest April on record far over a century.

:24:23. > :24:30.In the west, we are a few millimetres of that, but it won't

:24:30. > :24:40.be long before we beat that as well. We have had over 200% over the

:24:40. > :24:44.average rain for this month. This is the picture of the River Stour,

:24:44. > :24:49.already felt -- flooded. There is more heavy rain fall on the way

:24:58. > :25:03.for heavy rainfall. We will see 30 to 40 mm. Some places could see up

:25:03. > :25:09.to two inches. Other than that, it has been a strange day. A lot of

:25:09. > :25:14.sunshine around and are mostly dry picture. The warmest day of the

:25:14. > :25:19.month so far. This is the calm before the storm. In to this

:25:19. > :25:25.evening and tonight we will see the rain systems spread out. They will

:25:25. > :25:30.be heavy bursts of rain from the south with strong gusts of wind.

:25:30. > :25:35.There may be some toppled over trees or shaky trees that might

:25:35. > :25:40.topple over tonight. The system pushing northward over the course

:25:47. > :25:52.visit, but waterlogged and the fort. Temperatures up to 14 or 15 Celsius.

:25:52. > :25:56.A bit of respite from the rain for the next day. Tuesday night is

:25:56. > :26:00.looking dry, but could get a little chilli with temperatures down to

:26:00. > :26:08.four or five Celsius. Wednesday is looking dry with spells of sunshine

:26:08. > :26:12.around. It is on Thursday when it all changes. This front sinks self

:26:12. > :26:18.would give him a light rain and drizzle into Friday. Lots of detail

:26:18. > :26:20.to firm up before then. If you are worried about flooding, go to the

:26:20. > :26:24.worried about flooding, go to the Environmental Agency website.
