:00:12. > :00:16.Good evening. And welcome to BBC Points Wests. The headline, the

:00:16. > :00:20.daily struggle to survive. One in four people in the Forest of Dean

:00:20. > :00:24.are living on the bring of poverty, even though they have jobs. New

:00:24. > :00:29.footage today of the gun fight which left one man did and others

:00:29. > :00:34.wounded. Looking for a bargain? Find out where second-hand cars are

:00:34. > :00:39.the cheapest in Britain. A month to go. We meet the Olympians on the

:00:39. > :00:48.final countdown to the games. And there is no business like show

:00:48. > :00:53.business. The Bristol Hippodrome celebrates 100 years. Hello. A

:00:53. > :00:57.quarter of working people in the Forest of Dean are on the brink of

:00:57. > :01:02.poverty. A new study has found that rising debt is pushing some to the

:01:02. > :01:07.limit, despite having a job. In 2012, poverty is defined as living

:01:07. > :01:11.on less than 60% of the average income. Debt advice charities in

:01:11. > :01:15.the forest are warning many are struggling to cope. Our

:01:15. > :01:21.Gloucestershire reporter has been investigating. Once a thriving area

:01:21. > :01:25.with big employers like Rang Xerox the forest is a shadow of its

:01:25. > :01:29.former self. With few jobs people are being forced to travel for work

:01:29. > :01:33.with the cost of fuel having an impact. I came to Cinderford to see

:01:33. > :01:37.how working people were coping. only problem is I am looking for a

:01:37. > :01:42.second job. The majority of people are doing second jop jobs and they

:01:42. > :01:46.can't cope. So everybody is finding it difficult at the moment.

:01:46. > :01:52.aren't going on holiday. You have to watch every penny you spend.

:01:52. > :02:00.That has a knock on effect for local businesses. We are finding a

:02:00. > :02:04.big differences. The real scale of the problem is seen among those

:02:04. > :02:09.trying to help. At the Citizens Advice Bureau, they say 60% of

:02:09. > :02:14.people coming in for debt advice are in work, and owe on average

:02:14. > :02:18.�15,000. It is a huge growing problem, within the forest. So they

:02:18. > :02:22.are using their credit cards to manage priority expenditure and

:02:22. > :02:26.they get to a crisis when the credit cards are maxed out and they

:02:26. > :02:30.can't afford the repayments. where is a fix coming from? The

:02:31. > :02:34.forest has labelled its deprived, but there are hopes that future

:02:34. > :02:38.investment will help. One is to freeze council tax, so ensure we

:02:38. > :02:43.don't put any additional tax burden on anybody in the forest. Things

:02:43. > :02:47.like regeneration projects. We have brought in the superfast broadband

:02:47. > :02:50.pilot. That should help all of these micro businesses. It is true

:02:50. > :02:55.to say not everybody in the Forest of Dean is in financial difficulty,

:02:55. > :02:58.but for those that are, it is a problem and there are warnings from

:02:58. > :03:02.organisations such as Citizens Advice Bureau, that with changes to

:03:02. > :03:08.the benefit systems, it is a problem that is going to get worse

:03:08. > :03:11.before it gets better. It has merged that people everying on the

:03:11. > :03:16.lowest incomes have been hit the hardest by the big financial

:03:16. > :03:18.scanned offal the week, the computer break down at the Royal

:03:18. > :03:23.Bank of Scotland. 13 Million customers have had money go missing

:03:23. > :03:26.in what the bank calls an IT system failure. Well, our business

:03:26. > :03:29.correspondent is with us now. You have discovered that the last

:03:30. > :03:33.people to be sorted out are the people who can least afford to lose

:03:33. > :03:38.any more. Is that right? That appears to be the case. We are

:03:38. > :03:42.talking ability people who use an online bank call Think Banking, it

:03:42. > :03:46.manages your money. People living on low incomes find it difficult

:03:46. > :03:49.and this pays your bills and helps you keep out of debt. The trouble

:03:49. > :03:53.is, although it is not part of the Royal Bank of Scotland it uses

:03:53. > :03:58.their banking computer so it has been caught up in this chaos.

:03:58. > :04:02.RBS said the problems were getting behind them, but people using this

:04:02. > :04:06.service seem to be at the back of the queue. That is right. I talk to

:04:06. > :04:11.people from RBS, customers who got their money back but not so Think

:04:11. > :04:16.Banking customers this morningful I went to Swindon to meet a man

:04:16. > :04:21.called Tom Mulligan. He is a single dad. That is his daughter Ellie. At

:04:21. > :04:28.the weekend he was expecting �200 of benefit, all week he has been

:04:28. > :04:32.checking his phone, checking to see the balance. When I looked it was

:04:32. > :04:36.40 pence on my account. There was nothing else there. That is

:04:36. > :04:40.shopping, that is electric, that is clothes, that is everything. And

:04:40. > :04:46.having no money to fall back on, there is, you know nothing I could

:04:46. > :04:51.do, apart from call-up and beg, which was horrible. They offered me

:04:51. > :04:55.�20. And that was to feed my kids for the day and I had to give them

:04:55. > :04:59.a shopping list of what I was intending to, you know, to spend

:04:59. > :05:03.that on, so I had to tell them I needed �10 for the electric, food

:05:03. > :05:10.for the kids and what the meal would cost and this sort of thing.

:05:10. > :05:15.It is like, it is ridiculous. you were filming with him this

:05:15. > :05:19.afternoon there was a development. Finally the magic text came there.

:05:19. > :05:24.As you can imagine Think Bank has been under pressure and they have

:05:24. > :05:28.been putting the heat on RBS. The bank finally sorted out with most

:05:28. > :05:32.customer, Tom got that �200 through. These are accounts that have no

:05:32. > :05:36.overdrafts. If it says 40 pence that is what you have got to feed

:05:36. > :05:44.three kids. These are the people on the lowest income, they have had to

:05:44. > :05:49.wait the longest. A court has heard how a man who was shot in Bristol

:05:49. > :05:53.was found breathing but unconscious. The prosecution say Rico Gordon

:05:53. > :05:57.died after a confrontation between two rival groups of men and women

:05:57. > :06:02.from London, in a pub in Easton last July. Two men have been

:06:02. > :06:06.charged with his murder. Our Home Affairs correspondent was in court.

:06:06. > :06:11.Rico Gordon was gunned down in the early hours of Sunday morning July

:06:11. > :06:14.3rd in the centre of Easton. The jury had been told that two gunmen

:06:14. > :06:18.from separate groups Shakah Anderson and Rickel Adams can be

:06:18. > :06:21.seen in this seat, one running towards the camera, the other

:06:21. > :06:25.towards the railway bridge in Stapleton Road. Fragments of a

:06:25. > :06:30.bullet were found in this car, along with the DNA of Rico Gordon

:06:30. > :06:34.who was injured during the battle. When he arrived in Bristol he was

:06:34. > :06:37.wearing this striped shirt. The court heard how after the the

:06:37. > :06:42.shooting he was driven away back to London, where he went to Ealing

:06:42. > :06:47.hospital, now wearing a white T- shirt. And claimed he had been shot

:06:47. > :06:51.in the capital. Prosecuting Andrew Langdon then told the jury how

:06:51. > :06:54.another car carrying young women left the scene. But it returned

:06:54. > :06:59.when one of the occupants said we must go back for Rico Gordon, when

:06:59. > :07:03.they got here, they found the 21- year-old lying on the ground. He

:07:03. > :07:06.was unconscious but breathing. He later died from a bullet wound to

:07:06. > :07:11.the head. During their investigation the police recovered

:07:11. > :07:16.hundreds of hours of seat, the jury were shown pictures of the two

:07:16. > :07:21.groups' convoys as they toured Bristol before converging on the

:07:21. > :07:26.pub pound 3.30am. Half an hour late Eric rick was dead. Shakah Anderson

:07:26. > :07:31.and Rickel Adams both deny charges of murdering Rico Gordon, and of

:07:31. > :07:39.possessing a firearm. Rickel Adams denies two allegations of causing

:07:39. > :07:46.grievous bodily harm. This is Wednesday's Points West, the week

:07:46. > :07:51.is flying along, it is coming up. It is a Wiseman who builds his

:07:51. > :07:58.house on the rock? Find out why there is a row over plans to put a

:07:58. > :08:01.gorgeous property right here. Yes, that is to come. First the British

:08:01. > :08:06.Medical Association has narrowly thrown out a motion today, from a

:08:07. > :08:10.Wiltshire GP who wants to change the law about natural death. Dr

:08:10. > :08:15.Helena McKeown wants the terminally toil have a greater say in their

:08:15. > :08:20.care. She wants living Wills to give the option for patients to opt

:08:20. > :08:23.for a natural death. The vote was so close there has to be two

:08:23. > :08:27.recounts. The doctor says she will try again with a similar idea next

:08:27. > :08:31.year P Animal rights activists say they will break the law to stop a

:08:31. > :08:34.proposed cull of badgers in Gloucestershire in Somerset. They

:08:34. > :08:40.are planning to take direct action if the Government presses ahead

:08:40. > :08:45.with its plans. Ministers believe culling badgers will help stop the

:08:45. > :08:50.spread of TB to cattle. At present a high court judge is deciding if

:08:50. > :08:53.the cull is legal. Now, full service history, one careful owner,

:08:53. > :08:57.good condition, all things not David, that you are looking for if

:08:57. > :09:03.you are in the market for a used car. But, what about geography?

:09:03. > :09:06.With What about it. A few miles on the clock but the up host triisn't

:09:06. > :09:11.bad! A new survey says the cheapest used car in the country are to be

:09:11. > :09:18.found here in Bristol but it says if you are buying a new car expect

:09:18. > :09:21.it to be worth half what you paid for it just three years later.

:09:21. > :09:25.Leaking brake fluid can spell danger. It is a good plan to see

:09:25. > :09:33.there isn't too much play in the steering and check the wheel mounts.

:09:33. > :09:38.The past buying a used car was a hit-or-miss affair. For me the make,

:09:38. > :09:42.model... These days any dealer will tell you a way with words is key to

:09:42. > :09:48.a successful sale. But a customer looking to save a few Bob should

:09:48. > :09:52.also do their buying in Bristol. The survey looked at 500,000 car

:09:52. > :09:58.adverts across 100 towns and cities in England. They found that on

:09:58. > :10:02.average used cars in Bristol were about �350 cheaper, than anywhere

:10:02. > :10:06.else. The reason, say the authors is an abundance of cheap and

:10:06. > :10:10.cheerful motors available and the closer you get to London, they say

:10:10. > :10:15.the higher prizes go. Londoners should be looking to travel to the

:10:15. > :10:21.south-west to find a bargain. Two to three hour car journey might

:10:21. > :10:23.result in a �300 pound discount. They compared oerl models against

:10:24. > :10:28.new prices. French models were found to drop fastest after driving

:10:28. > :10:33.off the forecast. Ren nose and Peugeots losing more than half

:10:33. > :10:40.their value. Vauxhalls were next, worth half their cost three years

:10:40. > :10:50.later. German makes like Volkswagen fell 38%. But Italian supercars

:10:50. > :10:50.

:10:50. > :10:54.fared best. Even now there are priceless beauties going for sale.

:10:55. > :10:58.The message these days is shop round, going further afield could

:10:58. > :11:06.save you more. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are up to 5%

:11:06. > :11:10.cheaper still. I never seem to get a good deal! See me coming. You are

:11:10. > :11:14.in the right place. As you may have noticed it is just one month to go,

:11:14. > :11:18.to the Olympics, for all our competitors the pressure is rising,

:11:18. > :11:23.isn't it. The moment they have been working towards, since the games

:11:23. > :11:29.rewarded --er were awarded to London seven years ago, it is

:11:29. > :11:35.findly becoming a reality. How are the West Country hopefuls shaping

:11:35. > :11:40.up? Various grease of nervousness. These are nervous times. For many

:11:40. > :11:43.today is an important day as the long months of training come into

:11:43. > :11:47.sharper focus, now they celebrated the month mark in London, with the

:11:47. > :11:52.ring suspended over Tower Bridge. The Olympic Stadium is the focus of

:11:52. > :11:56.it all of course, but which of our 12 for 2012 who we have been

:11:56. > :12:01.following over the last year have made it? Well, it is an impressive

:12:01. > :12:04.list with seven confirmed and one still waiting to hear. Well, two of

:12:04. > :12:09.those 12 are can with me now. Hurdler Lawrence Clarke, who

:12:09. > :12:17.confirmed his place on Sunday, and wheelchair tennis player Louise

:12:17. > :12:27.Hunt who herd last week. We will talk do you in a moment but first

:12:27. > :12:28.

:12:28. > :12:31.to lawyer ra. -- Laura. All hors have character and given Alf's

:12:31. > :12:35.sides and power Laura Bechtolsheimer likens him to a

:12:35. > :12:40.rugby player. One of the attractive once like Jonny Wilkinson. In the

:12:40. > :12:45.quiet of the Cotswolds it is just about possible to believe that the

:12:45. > :12:49.big competition in four weeks time is like any other. After all, Laura

:12:49. > :12:54.Bechtolsheimer is world class perfor -- performer. So too is Alf.

:12:54. > :12:58.He is 17 so he is a real trooper, he has been doing it with me for a

:12:58. > :13:03.long time. We are abolished and we give each other confidence. I am

:13:03. > :13:07.very excited. The logistical problems of competing in the

:13:07. > :13:11.Beijing Olympics four years ago were considerable. So a trip up the

:13:12. > :13:17.M4 to Greenwich where the equestrian events are held will be

:13:17. > :13:21.simple. But the focus will still be the same despite distractions.

:13:21. > :13:26.the athletics is exciting and I am sure the atmosphere will be immense,

:13:26. > :13:30.if I can get into there that will be awesome. For me the main thing

:13:30. > :13:34.is my own performances and my performance for the team, so that

:13:34. > :13:39.is what, that is the only thing occupying my mind at the moment.

:13:39. > :13:43.preparations will continue at her home, in the village of Ampney St

:13:43. > :13:47.Peter, a bubble away from the Olympic hype. But then they will

:13:47. > :13:54.head to London and the spotlight which will be on all real medal

:13:54. > :13:59.hopes in just over a month from now. Laura is an old hand having Coll

:13:59. > :14:05.Peteed in Beijing but for these two it will be their first. Lawrence

:14:05. > :14:08.you are going no 11 0 hurdles. was a surprise, four years ago I

:14:09. > :14:16.was 6rd in the country, so last couple of jeers been hard work, and,

:14:16. > :14:22.lining up on the start, I was up against some of my idolsss, I am

:14:22. > :14:26.not the white on the right is Andy Turner. Who is one of the greatest

:14:26. > :14:32.hurdlers ever. My training partner came first, so it was one of the

:14:32. > :14:36.best moments of my life. Louise how confident were you of getting that

:14:36. > :14:39.elusive spot? It was nerve-wracking, two weeks before qualifying ended I

:14:39. > :14:43.was one place out of the international qualification bracket

:14:43. > :14:47.but when then I went to the Israel open where I won, and it is the

:14:47. > :14:51.biggest and highest level tournament I have won, that put me

:14:51. > :14:55.about four places into qualifying, so it was a huge relief and good

:14:55. > :14:59.timing. I like to make it interesting. You can enjoy it now.

:14:59. > :15:03.It is lovely. A big relief, but it is so nice to be able to say it is

:15:03. > :15:08.official, now and enjoy it. Lawrence, you are one of five

:15:09. > :15:15.hurdlers from Bath who train at Bath University who got selected.

:15:15. > :15:20.train with Dai Greene and Jack green and so my coach who trained

:15:20. > :15:24.people like Colin Jackson, he is one of the most successful coaches,

:15:24. > :15:29.he is pleased. This is the obvious question, what will it be like

:15:29. > :15:32.stepping out in that stadium? I raced there in May. There weren't

:15:32. > :15:37.many people there but you can imagine if there is 80,000 people

:15:37. > :15:41.in there, it is going to be a sound that is crazy, if you go to

:15:41. > :15:44.football matches you never have the whole stadium cheering for one

:15:44. > :15:50.individual event. If you are a British athlete it will be crazy.

:15:50. > :15:56.How great is it for you to get wheelchair tennis in the headlines?

:15:56. > :15:59.It was great. It is the first time they have built a venue for the

:15:59. > :16:05.Paralympics. It is great for any disability sport to promote and

:16:05. > :16:10.show themselves on a world stage, hopefully we will do England proud

:16:10. > :16:14.and show you how good we really are. Enjoy it guys and the best of luck.

:16:14. > :16:18.Joy for these two but for two brothers from Somerset, they have

:16:18. > :16:23.missed out on selection for the Great Britain hockey squad. Richard

:16:23. > :16:27.Mantell and his younger brother Simon made their debuts four years

:16:27. > :16:31.ago in Beijing, however Simon picked up an injury in a recent

:16:31. > :16:37.tournament and isn't fit, while Richard was overlooked. The games

:16:37. > :16:44.have inspired a 12-year-old boy to cycle to all the Olympic venues,

:16:44. > :16:49.Jake took up cycling after watching Sir Chris Hoy's achievements. He is

:16:49. > :16:54.raising money for charity which support children in sport. This is

:16:54. > :16:58.an epic task for a 12-year-old boy. He has already done 800 miles. Now

:16:58. > :17:03.17 days ago, he left Glasgow, he has travelled down through the

:17:03. > :17:06.Midlands, through Wales and he is about to enter Bristol. Now, he is

:17:06. > :17:10.coming across the suspension bridge which is a dream of his, he has

:17:10. > :17:16.always wanted to do this. Here he is now, Jake, can I get you to pull

:17:16. > :17:21.in over here. Brilliant. Lovely. Well, how is it going? Really well.

:17:21. > :17:28.Yeah? What has happened to your leg? I heard you have had an

:17:28. > :17:33.incident? I slipped off my pedal, and I really badly hurt my ankle.

:17:33. > :17:38.Really? You have quite an injury. Let us have a look. Oh crikey! But

:17:38. > :17:42.you are OK, you are still going to keep going? Yes, That is brilliant.

:17:42. > :17:47.Can I ask your mum, you have been travelling with him. This is a huge

:17:47. > :17:52.task for him. Has it changed him? think it is bound to have changed

:17:52. > :18:00.him. We have met some fantastic people along the way. We are doing

:18:00. > :18:04.it for charity, Jakes chosen cha -- charities that support children

:18:04. > :18:11.with sporting activities, and with family and adoptive families, so it

:18:11. > :18:15.is great. We are loving it. This is all because of Chris Hoy is it?

:18:15. > :18:21.S it is Beijing Olympics, I'm afraid. That is where it started,

:18:21. > :18:25.and he got into cycling, and loves it. I won't hold you up any longer,

:18:25. > :18:33.you have another 500 mile, so I will let you get going. Thanks for

:18:33. > :18:35.stopping. That is brilliant. Good luck. Now, Weymouth is the next

:18:35. > :18:42.destination but the final destination will be that Olympic

:18:42. > :18:45.Stadium, in London. Well, our Olympic coverage will continue to

:18:46. > :18:50.build over the coming weeks, and every night throughout the games we

:18:50. > :18:55.will be hear with -- here with an Olympic desk to bring you the

:18:55. > :18:59.latest news on our competitor at the venue, the main stadium to, the

:18:59. > :19:03.pool, beach volleyball there and, the swimming pool and to Weymouth

:19:03. > :19:08.and everywhere else in between, all the venue, it should be quite a

:19:08. > :19:13.show. Thanks very much. The excitement is palpable now. It is a

:19:13. > :19:18.show you can follow across the BBC. Not just here, on Points Wests, but

:19:18. > :19:22.on BBC One, and two, and on BBCs other channels and the red button.

:19:22. > :19:27.There is all the information you could ever want on line, and on

:19:27. > :19:33.both national and local radio. The complete Olympic picture from the

:19:33. > :19:37.BBC. Now, have you heard the one about the invisible house? A

:19:37. > :19:41.developer has applied for permission to build a five bedroom

:19:41. > :19:46.property in the Avon Gorge, it is designed to blend in with the rock

:19:46. > :19:51.face. It sound like a good idea but it has divided the local community.

:19:51. > :19:56.This is a picture of the Avon Gorge without the house. And this is what

:19:56. > :20:00.architects say it will look like when it is built. It is a spot the

:20:06. > :20:11.1700s, on the side of the gorge's rock face. It was sold in 2008 as a

:20:11. > :20:14.garden, but there was nothing to say it couldn't be built on. The

:20:14. > :20:19.developers and the architects are enthusiastic about this proposal.

:20:19. > :20:23.They use words to describe it like innovative, sustainable, exciting.

:20:23. > :20:27.They think technically they are able to build a house on this piece

:20:27. > :20:33.of land, the question the council has to answer, is whether they

:20:33. > :20:37.should. Brian Yaldron doesn't think so, he lives in the house at the

:20:37. > :20:40.bottom. He is worried the whole thing could collapse. The ground is

:20:40. > :20:45.very unstable, and the number of surveys that have been done in this

:20:45. > :20:50.area indicate that that is a fact. It is not a question, and the

:20:50. > :20:54.solution the planners seem to want to put in place, is a significant

:20:54. > :21:00.insurance policy. Well, if they destroy the heritage or the walls

:21:00. > :21:03.collapse or somebody gets injured you can't compensate for the

:21:03. > :21:08.irreplaceable. English heritage had no problem with the houses but

:21:08. > :21:13.locals are concerned the historical character of the area will be lost.

:21:13. > :21:16.Already an old orchard has been cleared away. I think it is

:21:16. > :21:21.atrocious it spoils the landscape and the history and the planning

:21:21. > :21:25.policies are being broken. I can't understand why the planners are

:21:25. > :21:29.thinking it should be a good idea. Council officers recommended the

:21:29. > :21:36.house be approved but with many strict conditions. A vote on it is

:21:36. > :21:40.being held this evening. If it does get the go-ahead the qopers hope

:21:40. > :21:46.that the pub -- public won't even notice. The developers hope that

:21:46. > :21:50.the public won't notice. Now, Bristol Hippodrome is celebrating

:21:50. > :21:54.its 100th anniversary this year, and as part of the celebrations

:21:54. > :21:58.people are sharing their magic moments at the theatre. Thanks for

:21:59. > :22:01.the memories is in rehearsal at the moment with more than 200 actors

:22:01. > :22:11.taking part. The production features the memories of people who

:22:11. > :22:16.

:22:16. > :22:20.use to visit one of Bristol's most iconic venues. With less than a

:22:20. > :22:25.week to go rehearsals are in full swing. The director is a hard task

:22:25. > :22:30.master but she knows nothing but the best will do. At the moment,

:22:30. > :22:36.her crew of 200 are rehearsing in an empty shop unit in Bristol. Next

:22:36. > :22:40.week it takes to the big stage. It was her idea to gather dozens of

:22:40. > :22:45.memories from BBC Radio Bristol listeners and create the musical.

:22:45. > :22:49.It has been an enormous journey, with hundreds of people. Think

:22:49. > :22:55.there are 1,000 costumes. I think it is great to celebrate such a

:22:55. > :23:00.great theatre. With local people, and local memory it should be a

:23:00. > :23:05.real party. And even is getting into the swing. There are plenty of

:23:05. > :23:08.memorys to the share and recreate. My earliest memory of working there

:23:08. > :23:13.was tripping up the stairs with ice-creams which went flying. I

:23:13. > :23:19.conduct the tours there as well, so to be performing on the stage next

:23:19. > :23:24.week as the chap who designed it, it is an honour. Real honour.

:23:24. > :23:31.is replica of the Britannias which were at the side of the change.

:23:31. > :23:34.They would hold up nem numbers. father was the assistant

:23:34. > :23:38.projectionist before it was bombed. In the interval he had to get on

:23:38. > :23:42.his bike, and take the newsreel over to the big Hippodrome and show

:23:42. > :23:47.it and go back to the old one again. Audiences will be in for a real

:23:47. > :23:51.treat. The Dome is going to oe. We will hear about the tale of the

:23:51. > :23:56.lady who went into labour on row C and there are some things that are

:23:56. > :24:00.too weird to mention. What is so nice is that the number of family

:24:00. > :24:05.connections in the cast. I am playing the part of my real great-

:24:05. > :24:07.grandfather, on my mother's side of the family. He was head fly man at

:24:07. > :24:11.the Bristol Hippodrome and master carpenter there as well. He met the

:24:11. > :24:21.star, worked with the stars and it is a real honour and privilege to

:24:21. > :24:26.play somebody in the family history, in this show. From the time the

:24:26. > :24:31.suffragettes stormed the stalls to the seats for free free seats for

:24:31. > :24:39.children who were bomed out the theatre will celebrate its birthday

:24:40. > :24:44.in style. They will be missing you David. Why is that? You could do a

:24:44. > :24:48.turn. I won't go there! Before we go to wetter. Look at this, it is a

:24:48. > :24:52.lorry that has ploughed into a row of shops, it happened in the early

:24:52. > :24:56.hours o of the morning. The driver luckily walked away with just cuts

:24:56. > :24:59.and bruises. Look at that. But employees from the shop were sent

:24:59. > :25:05.home for the day as the building was too badly damaged as you can

:25:05. > :25:10.see, and the damaged shop, it was an opticians. Now, it has been very

:25:10. > :25:13.close, sticky, hasn't it. Ian is up on the roof to tell us about how it

:25:13. > :25:15.on the roof to tell us about how it is all set to change. Stkpwhrf

:25:16. > :25:20.certainly through the course of tomorrow morn we have the threat of

:25:20. > :25:25.showers on the way, but as bro gres into tomorrow afternoon things will

:25:25. > :25:29.start to brighten up again. A warm day but you will find that fresher

:25:29. > :25:34.weather feeds back in and that will dominate the pattern as we head

:25:34. > :25:41.through Friday and Saturday as well. The cloud cover proved as

:25:41. > :25:45.persistent as expected but equally we saw holes starting to appear.

:25:45. > :25:52.They some showers embedded in that and many of you have been tweeting

:25:52. > :25:58.me showing how your cars have been covered in a curious dust. That is

:25:58. > :26:02.courtesy of dust in the Sahara. It has been deposited on your clean

:26:02. > :26:06.cars in the rain shower, it is this plume of very warm moist air which

:26:07. > :26:10.has been dragged up from Iberia that will set the tone for tomorrow

:26:10. > :26:15.morning as we start to see heavy showers. A temporary feature as

:26:15. > :26:18.that tends to clear away, we will find that drier brighter weather

:26:18. > :26:21.prevails. Before the cold front arrives as you can see there, that

:26:21. > :26:25.will introduce the fresher and windier weather for Friday. So, for

:26:25. > :26:29.the rest of this evening, still brighter spells about. Hazy su,

:26:29. > :26:33.much as we have in Bristol. The cloud will tend to increase, once

:26:33. > :26:36.again later on, some showery outbreaks starting to show their

:26:36. > :26:41.hand for some but lengthy drier spells and that cloud base down to

:26:41. > :26:46.the deck again, so a similar story to last night. Similar in terms of

:26:46. > :26:51.the exceptionally mild temperature, up into the mid teen, so give it to

:26:51. > :26:55.about three or 4.00. Showers starting to be activated. Some

:26:55. > :26:59.could be heavy in places. Low chance there could be thunder in

:26:59. > :27:07.that, I think the biggest threat will be out to the north-west. As

:27:07. > :27:12.we get through to the afternoon much of the cloud is dispersing. It

:27:12. > :27:16.should remain dry. It will be warm again. Temperatures peaking at 22,

:27:16. > :27:20.23. Notice the fresher conditions in the west, and that will lead us

:27:20. > :27:25.into Friday on a windy day, outbreaks of showers, temperatures

:27:25. > :27:29.back to the mid teens. There we go. That is such a shame. Stay with us

:27:29. > :27:34.because few you are into your football Match of the Day Live is
