:00:13. > :00:18.our headlines tonight. Killed outside the home that was his

:00:18. > :00:21.refuge. A man appears in court after a 24-year-old is stabbed outside a

:00:21. > :00:25.home for the vulnerable with mental health issues.

:00:25. > :00:33.A soaraway success for the Bristol Balloon Fiesta but the city's mayor

:00:33. > :00:38.says next year leave the car at home.

:00:38. > :00:41.There is possibly a case for putting up the price of parking, one could

:00:41. > :00:44.say that is an environmental levy to encourage more people to cycle and

:00:44. > :00:46.walk. Also tonight, millions of pounds for the pedallers, the

:00:46. > :00:50.government pledges funding to help cyclists in the West.

:00:50. > :01:00.And the injury that sparked a search for a new goalkeeper, Yeovil Town's

:01:00. > :01:01.

:01:01. > :01:05.number one could be out for three court accused of murdering a fellow

:01:05. > :01:08.resident at a home for people with mental health problems.

:01:08. > :01:11.The victim had been stabbed outside the building and later died in

:01:11. > :01:15.hospital. Derek Hancock was arrested less than

:01:15. > :01:25.hour after police had left the home in Bristol. Officers had been called

:01:25. > :01:26.

:01:26. > :01:29.to investigate reports of arguing. Tonight the Independent Police

:01:29. > :01:31.Complaints Commission has announced it's to examine the force's handling

:01:32. > :01:35.of the case. Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent, Steve Brodie.

:01:35. > :01:38.Police were called here to this house in Egerton Road in Bishopstone

:01:38. > :01:41.at around 9.30 on Friday evening following a complaint from a

:01:41. > :01:44.resident at the privately run home for the homeless and the vulnerable

:01:44. > :01:47.with mental health issues. 30 minutes after they left they were

:01:47. > :01:57.called again. When they arrived they found 24-year-old Robert Cox dead

:01:57. > :01:59.

:01:59. > :02:01.from stab wounds. Today as the police carried out house to house

:02:01. > :02:04.enquiries in the area another resident appeared in court accused

:02:04. > :02:08.of his murder. 41-year-old Derek Hancock spoke only to confirm his

:02:08. > :02:11.name, age, and address. Wearing a black tea shirt he nodded when told

:02:11. > :02:15.by the magistrates he would be remanded in custody to appear at

:02:15. > :02:18.Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday. --T-shirt.

:02:18. > :02:22.The home is run by the Social Enterprise and Charity Home Group

:02:22. > :02:26.who told the BBC that they were shocked and saddened by the death

:02:26. > :02:28.and that the service had existed in Egerton Road for many years and that

:02:29. > :02:32.the group enjoyed good relations with neighbours. Over the very sad

:02:32. > :02:37.somebody has been killed. I can understand why there is a need for

:02:37. > :02:40.this facility, there has to be somewhere, and it has in there for a

:02:40. > :02:42.number of years without any problems.

:02:42. > :02:45.And in a separate development, the watchdog, the Independent Police

:02:45. > :02:49.Complaints Commission, is to examine how Avon and Somerset Police handled

:02:49. > :02:52.the incident. This is because of the force involvement with the man

:02:52. > :02:56.before his death. A Gloucestershire coroner has been

:02:56. > :02:59.ordered to stand trial accused of fraud and the theft of more than �2

:02:59. > :03:05.million. Alan Crickmore is charged with stealing from four dead people

:03:05. > :03:12.while acting as the executor of their estates. The 57-year-old is

:03:12. > :03:15.one of Britain's longest serving coroners. The case has been

:03:15. > :03:19.adjourned several times already, but today it was sent to Southwark Crown

:03:19. > :03:22.Court for a preliminary hearing. The Mayor of Bristol says he wants

:03:22. > :03:26.more people to walk and cycle to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta

:03:26. > :03:31.next year. His comments follow the four-day event, which attracted half

:03:32. > :03:37.a million visitors to watch balloons and an extended RAF airshow. But

:03:37. > :03:47.once again traffic jams were also on display. So is the Mayor right to

:03:47. > :03:50.

:03:50. > :03:55.suggest increasing car park fees? Half a million came to watch. But

:03:55. > :03:58.once again complaints about traffic jams. Bristol's mayor wants visitors

:03:58. > :04:02.to walk or cycle next year. And thinks raising the �10 parking fee

:04:02. > :04:07.may help. As the clean up began today the fiesta organisers said

:04:07. > :04:12.they'll meet up with the major. There is possibly a case for putting

:04:12. > :04:18.up the cost of parking, you could see that as an international --

:04:18. > :04:22.environmental levy to encourage more people to cycle and walk.

:04:22. > :04:25.organisers said they will meet up with the mayor. But have no plans to

:04:25. > :04:32.raise car park fees. Adding the number arriving by car has reduced

:04:33. > :04:37.in recent years. We have created an even split of those who use public

:04:37. > :04:42.transport or walk to the side, with those who use their cars so we have

:04:42. > :04:48.reduced the number of cars on site. We have introduced a new subtle bus

:04:48. > :04:54.-- shuttle bus service, and we have encouraged the use of those, but car

:04:54. > :04:56.parking is an important revenue to ensure this continues. The major

:04:56. > :05:03.will argue fewer cars paying slightly more will reduce traffic

:05:03. > :05:07.jams without cutting income. It cost �600,000 a year to put on and there

:05:07. > :05:10.is no public subsidy. It's a symptom of the success of the event boosted

:05:10. > :05:15.this year by a return of the Red Arrows and two displays from the

:05:16. > :05:20.Typhoon fighter. A bit of a shock for the Long Ashton locals. We did

:05:20. > :05:24.think we were under attack we didn't have anyone Inc so it was a bit

:05:24. > :05:28.frightening for the children, but it was good fun once we realised it was

:05:28. > :05:32.a fighter plane in the sky. So plenty to thrill everyone in

:05:32. > :05:40.2013. The stars of the show as ever though, the balloons and their

:05:40. > :05:43.pilots. Looks they enjoyed it too. Well Bristol's Mayor was one of the

:05:43. > :05:49.people celebrating another �11 million been given to help improve

:05:49. > :05:53.improve cycling facilities. Schemes in Bristol, South Gloucestershire

:05:53. > :05:57.and Bath will all benefit from the money.

:05:57. > :06:00.Some of the money comes from a �94 million government pot to promote

:06:00. > :06:10.what the prime minister is calling a "cycling revolution". Ali Vowles

:06:10. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:17.reports. I am dressed for the occasion. I am

:06:17. > :06:22.relatively new to cycling but I really like it. I am one of those

:06:22. > :06:26.people who thinks it is a great way to keep fit. This cycle path is that

:06:26. > :06:30.two tunnels cycle path, the newest one to open in Bath and the majority

:06:30. > :06:33.is completely traffic free. For many people this is the only kind of

:06:33. > :06:37.cycling they will do, when they don't come into contact with the

:06:37. > :06:41.car. The reason this money is so important, particularly in places

:06:41. > :06:44.like Bristol and Bath, is that much of the money is going to be used to

:06:44. > :06:47.improve cycle pathways in the centre of the cities and on the outskirts

:06:47. > :06:51.on the roads, to try and make cycling safer. I have been on my

:06:51. > :06:56.bike to date taking a little look at the situation here in the West.

:06:56. > :06:59.There is no doubt about it, more and more of us in the West are taking to

:06:59. > :07:02.our bikes. The success of the Olympics, Paralymics and Tour de

:07:02. > :07:05.France, plus the rising costs of running a car, mean two wheels

:07:05. > :07:09.rather than four seems a better option. Bristol became England's

:07:09. > :07:16.first cycling city in 2008 and over the years improvements to cycle

:07:16. > :07:22.lanes and routes have gradually increased cycling numbers. What will

:07:22. > :07:31.it mean across the West? The centre of Bristol will see better links

:07:31. > :07:34.along the length of the River Avon. It'll make it easier for people to

:07:34. > :07:37.cross the river from North to South and cycle alongside it. In South

:07:37. > :07:40.Gloucestershire there will be improvements to the Hambrook

:07:40. > :07:43.sections of the Cribbs Causeway to Emersons Green Trunk Cycle Route,

:07:43. > :07:48.And in Baths Kingsmead Square, which is right in the centre of the city

:07:48. > :07:52.there will be a �1 million make over to the Seven Dials Cycle route. Bath

:07:52. > :07:55.and North East Somerset Council says it will make all the difference to

:07:55. > :08:02.cyclists in Bath who unlike the cars will be able to go in both

:08:02. > :08:06.directions. Provided they are well marked and bright -- well researched

:08:06. > :08:10.they are perfectly safe stop it will mean cyclists will be able to travel

:08:10. > :08:16.in many more directions and many more weeks to get where they want.

:08:16. > :08:19.-- many rural boots. -- many more routes. But as I know living here,

:08:19. > :08:23.Bath is never an easy city to navigate whatever the means of

:08:23. > :08:27.transport. Narrow and busy roads do make designated cycle routes tricky

:08:27. > :08:30.to use in some parts of the city. Many people say they are reluctant

:08:30. > :08:33.to cycle on the roads because they don't feel safe. So will the �11

:08:33. > :08:35.million investment across the region really change anything? Whether or

:08:35. > :08:38.not it is enough, there are statistics released that 2% of

:08:38. > :08:41.journeys made in the UK last year were on bikes. Only 2%. The

:08:41. > :08:46.government want to increase that. Whether or not this level of funding

:08:46. > :08:52.is enough to see a large increase remains to be seen, a lot of people

:08:52. > :08:56.are sceptical. There is criticism, but it is a start. Do today cyclists

:08:56. > :09:00.think there is room for improvement? When there are parts right this it

:09:00. > :09:06.is good. I think it would be better if they improve it will stop it is

:09:06. > :09:10.quite difficult, people get annoyed you are in the way, and that is

:09:10. > :09:13.tricky. When it gets to the dangerous but there is no cycle

:09:13. > :09:18.then, they have got it the wrong way round. They have got it where it is

:09:18. > :09:23.not dangerous. It is hoped most of the work will be completed by the

:09:23. > :09:33.end of two of -- 2015, but the question is how many more of us will

:09:33. > :09:36.

:09:36. > :09:40.take advantage of it? I see it from both sides, cyclists and rages. This

:09:40. > :09:45.money can only improve things, I will not disappoint you, I will go

:09:45. > :09:53.on my way home. She has got all the gear and she is

:09:53. > :09:58.out of here. You are watching BBC Points West.

:09:58. > :10:01.Please do stay with us, much more still to bring you, including we

:10:01. > :10:06.find out why you will be seeing fewer bathhouse across Somerset this

:10:06. > :10:15.year. -- barn owls. Look to the skies

:10:15. > :10:18.tonight for a huge natural firework New research by the BBC has shown

:10:18. > :10:23.that local councils are still owed more than �24 million from the

:10:24. > :10:27.collapse of the Icelandic banks five years ago. Eight of our local

:10:27. > :10:30.councils are still waiting for parts of their deposits to be returned.

:10:30. > :10:36.Somerset County Council is still hoping to get back more than �8

:10:36. > :10:39.million of taxpayers' money, from its deposit of �25 million. And

:10:39. > :10:42.Cheltenham Borough Council, which had 11 million in accounts in the

:10:42. > :10:45.country, is still owed more than four million. We'll be talking to

:10:45. > :10:54.the Taxpayers' Alliance about the figures in tonight's ten O'Clock

:10:54. > :11:01.News. The farming minister has said

:11:01. > :11:06.failing to act to eradicate bovine debate... Is not option. Efforts to

:11:06. > :11:09.combat TB are being stepped up, in addition to badger culling in

:11:09. > :11:18.Gloucestershire and Somerset more money will be invested in

:11:18. > :11:21.vaccinating badges. -- badgers. A Bristol woman has spoken of her

:11:21. > :11:23.anger and disappointment after failing to get a change in the law

:11:23. > :11:27.which could have helped estranged grandparents. Jane Jackson's

:11:27. > :11:31.campaign featured on Inside Out West last autumn just as MPs were looking

:11:31. > :11:34.at the legislation. But the bill now seems unlikely to deliver what they

:11:34. > :11:41.had had hoped for. Here's Inside Out's Alastair McKee.

:11:41. > :11:51.Jane and Marc haven't seen one of their grandchildren for years.

:11:51. > :11:52.

:11:52. > :11:56.continuous daily grief. There isn't a single day, excuse me. To see your

:11:56. > :12:03.family falling apart, it is absolutely heartbreaking.

:12:03. > :12:06.So Jane set up a support network filmed by Inside Out last year.

:12:06. > :12:10.have been getting increasing calls from grandparents. More than 1,000

:12:10. > :12:15.so far. They can't automatically see their grandchildren if the parents

:12:15. > :12:19.split up. So many lobbied for shared parenting to become law meaning both

:12:20. > :12:24.parents would be involved in a child's life. So these grandparents

:12:24. > :12:30.could be too. But they haven't got what they wanted on the statute

:12:30. > :12:34.books. It is not a presumption of shared parenting, it is something we

:12:34. > :12:39.get on that. It is not anything that says there is a right to a certain

:12:39. > :12:44.amount of contact, a right to shared parenting. It is in the -- simply

:12:44. > :12:48.something which says the court will be entitled to presume that a parent

:12:48. > :12:51.should be involved, and there is no particular definition of what that

:12:51. > :12:54.involvement means, so that could mean different things to different

:12:54. > :12:59.people. What this all means to Jane is

:12:59. > :13:03.clear. Without it, she says, she's no chance of seeing her grandchild.

:13:03. > :13:10.If I'm honest I think the government off watching it. It is catastrophic

:13:10. > :13:17.for a whole generation of children. The situation will not change. And

:13:17. > :13:22.those who are affected by denied contact no that there has be a

:13:22. > :13:26.back-up in law. The government says it is helping broken families beyond

:13:26. > :13:32.the court, but that a child's interest is paramount. And they have

:13:32. > :13:36.support from many in the legal profession. The interests of the

:13:36. > :13:40.other adult family members are part of the picture but it's hard to come

:13:40. > :13:44.to the right outcome if you don't focus back on the interests of the

:13:44. > :13:50.child. Jane agrees with this focus. But like many others, she just wants

:13:50. > :13:57.to see her grandchild. There is always that hope that that knock on

:13:57. > :14:01.the door will come. It might well happen, things could change. Things

:14:01. > :14:05.are still really tough for Jane and other grandparents like her who

:14:05. > :14:11.desperately want to see their grandchildren, don't have the right

:14:11. > :14:19.to see them. We will be an eye on this issue and a whole lot more when

:14:19. > :14:23.inside out returns next month on BBC One. I hope you will join us.

:14:23. > :14:29.The number of barn owls in our region is in serious decline -and it

:14:29. > :14:32.seems, last year's terrible weather is partly to blame. A conservation

:14:32. > :14:36.project in Somerset has revealed that numbers there have dropped by

:14:36. > :14:39.60% in the past year. Now farmers are being asked to support efforts

:14:39. > :14:42.to save the barn owl from extinction.

:14:42. > :14:52.It may seem a distance memory now but a year ago vast areas of

:14:52. > :14:54.Somerset were under water. And the barn owl paid the price. Let's go

:14:54. > :14:58.and have a look, we have got a box here.

:14:58. > :15:01.Chris Sperring works for the Hawk and Owl Trust who two years ago

:15:01. > :15:05.embarked on a project to put up hundreds of nesting boxes across

:15:05. > :15:08.Somerset to boost the barn owl population. This was checked about a

:15:08. > :15:11.month ago. But camera checks of those boxes

:15:11. > :15:18.under a special licence have revealed an alarming drop in numbers

:15:18. > :15:22.of a bird already struggling to survive.

:15:22. > :15:28.It is an empty box. From the early results we have got so far I would

:15:28. > :15:33.estimate we have lost a bubbly up to 60% of the entire population. --

:15:33. > :15:36.probably. That is looking at anything up to 70, 80 pairs.

:15:36. > :15:42.In areas like this the flooding wiped out the barn owl's food stock,

:15:42. > :15:48.voles. And even when the flood water cleared, bittingly cold winds this

:15:48. > :15:53.spring kept the owls from hunting, and they died, so did their young.

:15:53. > :15:57.It was, say the conservationists, a double whammy.

:15:57. > :16:02.Well now farmers are being asked to play their part to boost the barn

:16:02. > :16:10.owl population. By leaving borders of long grass around their fields,

:16:10. > :16:13.borders where voles breed. It is farmers to the rescue, they can come

:16:13. > :16:17.to the rescue and we have proved with the Somerset community barn owl

:16:17. > :16:26.project they do come to the rescue. We have got farmers within the

:16:26. > :16:29.project who are leaving margins like this voluntarily offer very back.

:16:29. > :16:33.The barn owl isn't, they say, heading for extinction but the

:16:33. > :16:36.decline is serious and needs to be reversed.

:16:36. > :16:42.Yeovil Town say they're close to signing a new goalkeeper following

:16:42. > :16:45.an injury to Marek Stech at the weekend. Yeovil had to call on the

:16:45. > :16:49.services of their goalkeeping coach to replace Stech who could be out

:16:49. > :16:52.for up to four months. Damian Derrick has more.

:16:52. > :16:56.It was Yeovil's first home match in their first season in the

:16:56. > :17:00.Championship. In front of almost 9,000 people at Huish Park fireworks

:17:00. > :17:04.and an opera singer were in the script.

:17:04. > :17:10.Goalkeeper Marek Stech breaking his hand in two places after just eight

:17:10. > :17:15.minutes was not. He had a fantastic season last

:17:15. > :17:19.season, the great pre-season, a good start, just one of those freak

:17:19. > :17:25.injuries, punched the back of his own centre half's head, fractured

:17:25. > :17:29.his hand in a couple of places. Stech had been one of Yeovil's

:17:29. > :17:32.stand-out players last season and their man of the match in promotion

:17:32. > :17:37.play-off final at Wembley. But it was then down to goalkeeping coach

:17:37. > :17:40.Gareth Stewart to fill not just his shoes but also his gloves.

:17:40. > :17:44.Not having the time to think about it for too long is easier, it was

:17:44. > :17:50.just a case of getting on and doing the things that were happening at

:17:50. > :17:54.the time and finding out how it was going to go. Nothing is appraising

:17:54. > :17:57.in this game, still 11 people against 11 people at the end of the

:17:57. > :18:00.day and you have got to be ready for the situation as it is.

:18:00. > :18:04.Yeovil's bad luck continued as they lost out to a goal which bounced off

:18:04. > :18:13.one of their defenders. But it was a good day for one Yeovil player,

:18:13. > :18:17.Paddy Madden. Rewarded for his 23 goals last season he's been called

:18:17. > :18:20.up into the Republic of Ireland squad for their match against Wales

:18:20. > :18:23.on Wednesday. Tonight Yeovil say they're already close to signing a

:18:23. > :18:24.new goalie to replace Steck, he's Wayne Hennessey who plays for

:18:24. > :18:31.Wolves. He is a top goalkeeper, it suits

:18:31. > :18:38.everybody, we need a first-team keeper, and it is a perfect

:18:39. > :18:42.situation. The club hopes to confirm the deal on Thursday.

:18:42. > :18:45.The Bath based 400 metre hurdler Dai Greene has made it through to the

:18:45. > :18:49.semi-finals at the World Championships in Moscow. Dai, who is

:18:49. > :18:55.defending the title he won two years ago, has been struggling with injury

:18:55. > :19:03.this season. He also fell ill over the weekend but scraped home fifth

:19:03. > :19:12.in his heat to get one of the last places.

:19:12. > :19:16.It is difficult to do, I hope I will produce a better performance

:19:16. > :19:21.tomorrow because it is a wide open event, just going to rest as much as

:19:21. > :19:24.possible, fingers crossed there is more tomorrow.

:19:24. > :19:27.In the women's event, Eilidh Child, who's also based at the University

:19:27. > :19:31.of Bath, made it into the semi-finals which take place

:19:31. > :19:35.tomorrow. All amateur cricketers probably

:19:35. > :19:37.third-rate June of playing at Lord's but a village team from South

:19:37. > :19:43.Gloucestershire will be batting and bowling on the same page as many

:19:43. > :19:46.cricketing legends. Rock captain yesterday won the semifinal of the

:19:46. > :19:48.National Village knockout competition and their reward is a

:19:48. > :19:53.trip to the home of cricket for the final at the beginning of

:19:53. > :19:58.September. Joining me now three members of the successful club,

:19:58. > :20:01.thanks very much for coming in. James, Jack and nail. James, you

:20:01. > :20:07.have taken part in this competition before but you have never got very

:20:07. > :20:10.far so what has been the difference? It was just the general mindset.

:20:10. > :20:15.Previously Sunday cricket has always been treated as a knock-about, just

:20:15. > :20:19.the chance for everybody to have a go, but this year we sort of said we

:20:19. > :20:24.will take it as seriously as possible and take a Saturday league

:20:24. > :20:31.mindset into the games and it has been everybody pulling in the right

:20:31. > :20:35.direction and we got on a roll. Jack, you are a member of the team,

:20:35. > :20:43.is everybody from the village? Pretty much. Nine of the 11 that

:20:43. > :20:48.played yesterday came through our youth system, all local lads. Quite

:20:48. > :20:53.a few brothers in there as well. A lot of competition to get into the

:20:53. > :20:57.main site. The has-been. As we have progressed

:20:57. > :21:02.it has got quite fierce, James had to make some trust -- tough

:21:02. > :21:05.decisions. What has it meant to the village to

:21:05. > :21:12.have this success and how have you benefited?

:21:12. > :21:19.It is huge, so mini unsung heroes at the club, on the business end, and

:21:19. > :21:25.the people at the club, it benefits them, the bar running, the barbecue,

:21:25. > :21:29.the pitch needs preparing, the whole club are just absolutely ecstatic.

:21:29. > :21:31.There were even a few tears yesterday from some of the fans and

:21:31. > :21:36.it was a fantastic day. I bet you have had hundreds of

:21:36. > :21:41.people contributing money. We are a small village but everybody

:21:41. > :21:47.from the locality, people travelling far and wide to come and watch, a

:21:47. > :21:51.lot of the local cricket clubs get involved to support.

:21:51. > :21:56.What will it mean to step out on the pitch at Lord's? It will be

:21:56. > :22:00.incredible. Unless you play professional cricket

:22:00. > :22:05.there are very few people that get the opportunity to play at Lord's.

:22:05. > :22:09.When you set out in the competition many teams recognise that is the

:22:09. > :22:13.price you are playing for. Yesterday for the 11 ads it was their cup

:22:13. > :22:20.final, winning that, getting to go to the home of cricket, it will be

:22:20. > :22:23.massive for all of us. We are taking a lot of people down there.

:22:23. > :22:33.Well done on this success, have a fantastic day, September the 8th,

:22:33. > :22:33.

:22:34. > :22:37.the final. They are stars. Talking of which,

:22:37. > :22:39.tonight is the night for stargazers as the skies above us are set to

:22:39. > :22:41.shimmer with a natural firework display.

:22:41. > :22:45.The annual Perseids meteor shower will be hitting the earth's

:22:45. > :22:50.atmosphere. And if you're lucky you may see up to 60 shooting stars an

:22:50. > :22:52.hour with the naked eye. Joining us now is Dr Robert Massey from the

:22:52. > :22:56.Royal Astronomical Society, who lives in Bristol. An exciting night

:22:56. > :22:59.in prospect, Doctor Massey. This is really easy, all you have to

:22:59. > :23:03.do is go out in your back garden, standout on the street and look up.

:23:03. > :23:07.If the weather clear, if you are reasonably away from light, every

:23:07. > :23:11.chance you will see quite a few meteors, I cannot think of an easier

:23:11. > :23:16.way to do this. In previous years you can lay out

:23:16. > :23:20.and think, just one more, and you are there for ages. Get yourself

:23:20. > :23:24.comfortable, I know it has obvious. You can lie out on a sun lounge in

:23:24. > :23:29.the middle of the night, if you do that it works very well, but a hot

:23:29. > :23:34.drink and wrap up well, obviously. You can get rather cold.

:23:34. > :23:38.Are there any other tricks? I know your eyes adjust more, getting away

:23:38. > :23:42.from streetlights, that is busily going to be good. Is there a way to

:23:42. > :23:46.look, direction? If you look more or less straight

:23:46. > :23:50.up, it sounds obvious, but the direction they come from is the

:23:50. > :23:55.north-east but the trails will be short of from the perspective, so if

:23:55. > :24:01.you look up, you will have a good view, stay up till the small hours.

:24:01. > :24:06.The times, we need the mean to get out the weight so it is from about

:24:06. > :24:12.11 o'clock. 10:30pm, 11 o'clock and it should improve through the night

:24:12. > :24:19.but you get these ones that just skim the edge of the atmosphere. It

:24:19. > :24:25.is a bit unpredictable. I have been out before and I have been looking

:24:25. > :24:29.in the wrong direction. It is really hard to point out to somebody else.

:24:29. > :24:33.We hope people enjoyed, if you get some fantastic pictures it would be

:24:33. > :24:36.great to see them. Ian is now going to give is the

:24:36. > :24:46.all-important forecast to find out if we can even see them with the

:24:46. > :24:48.

:24:48. > :24:50.will lose the cloud that we have across some parts of the West

:24:50. > :24:53.Country, progressively getting it in looking very nice indeed. We will

:24:53. > :24:55.lose the cloud that we have across some parts of the West Country,

:24:55. > :24:58.progressively getting eaten away from the West, and as the magic song

:24:58. > :25:02.there will be even less in the way of cloud, all looking very fortunate

:25:02. > :25:07.if you're heading out into the countryside which will be the best

:25:08. > :25:11.sport -- spot away from light sources in urban areas. It will turn

:25:12. > :25:16.pretty cold for the time of year so whether you are on a sun lounge or

:25:16. > :25:20.wherever you will need to consider dressing appropriately. For

:25:20. > :25:25.tomorrow, those of you who have managed to get some sleep, it starts

:25:25. > :25:33.with the legacy of the clear skies, a good deal of clear blue sky, the

:25:33. > :25:37.progressively more crowd -- cloud as the day goes on. This is how things

:25:37. > :25:41.are shaping up as we run through the next 24 hours, a rich of

:25:41. > :25:46.high-pressure starting to toppling towards the west. At the same time a

:25:46. > :25:56.rather weak one front. Most of the rain associated with high ground of

:25:56. > :25:59.

:25:59. > :26:04.Wales. Some showery rain across northern parts. For two nights, much

:26:04. > :26:08.of the cloud just slowly getting eaten away. As the clear sky is

:26:08. > :26:10.developed the night of light winds, we shouldn't see any problems with

:26:10. > :26:16.missed four, visibility good across-the-board, into the early

:26:16. > :26:21.hours. These are the urban temperatures but out in the

:26:21. > :26:25.countryside it could get down to eight degrees. A cold starts

:26:25. > :26:28.tomorrow, but nonetheless and a good deal of sunshine for the start of

:26:28. > :26:34.the rush-hour. Cloud Wrigley starting to encroach into the

:26:34. > :26:38.north-west through the mid-morning period -- cloud quickly. Some patchy

:26:38. > :26:43.or showery outbreaks of rain, more of that towards the north. The best

:26:43. > :26:47.conditions towards the south. As we get later into the afternoon and

:26:47. > :26:50.evening we will return some brighter weather. Quite breezy through the

:26:51. > :26:57.afternoon to marvel stop temperatures similar to today,

:26:57. > :27:04.somewhere between 18 and 20 degrees. I mentioned Wednesday, we will start

:27:04. > :27:09.to go down a different route, a lot of low cloud, that will bring some

:27:09. > :27:13.patchy outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. On Thursday a lot of that

:27:13. > :27:17.left behind, on Friday we are looking at a wet and windy spell, so

:27:17. > :27:20.that rain could be quite heavy at times. Towards the end of August we

:27:20. > :27:24.have got growing confidence the pressure will build and we will see

:27:24. > :27:27.a return of some decent summer conditions.
