our headlines tonight. Killed outside the home that was his

:00:13.:00:18.

refuge. A man appears in court after a 24-year-old is stabbed outside a

:00:18.:00:21.

home for the vulnerable with mental health issues.

:00:21.:00:25.

A soaraway success for the Bristol Balloon Fiesta but the city's mayor

:00:25.:00:33.

says next year leave the car at home.

:00:33.:00:38.

There is possibly a case for putting up the price of parking, one could

:00:38.:00:41.

say that is an environmental levy to encourage more people to cycle and

:00:41.:00:44.

walk. Also tonight, millions of pounds for the pedallers, the

:00:44.:00:46.

government pledges funding to help cyclists in the West.

:00:46.:00:50.

And the injury that sparked a search for a new goalkeeper, Yeovil Town's

:00:50.:01:00.
:01:00.:01:01.

number one could be out for three court accused of murdering a fellow

:01:01.:01:05.

resident at a home for people with mental health problems.

:01:05.:01:08.

The victim had been stabbed outside the building and later died in

:01:08.:01:11.

hospital. Derek Hancock was arrested less than

:01:11.:01:15.

hour after police had left the home in Bristol. Officers had been called

:01:15.:01:25.
:01:25.:01:26.

to investigate reports of arguing. Tonight the Independent Police

:01:26.:01:29.

Complaints Commission has announced it's to examine the force's handling

:01:29.:01:31.

of the case. Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent, Steve Brodie.

:01:32.:01:35.

Police were called here to this house in Egerton Road in Bishopstone

:01:35.:01:38.

at around 9.30 on Friday evening following a complaint from a

:01:38.:01:41.

resident at the privately run home for the homeless and the vulnerable

:01:41.:01:44.

with mental health issues. 30 minutes after they left they were

:01:44.:01:47.

called again. When they arrived they found 24-year-old Robert Cox dead

:01:47.:01:57.
:01:57.:01:59.

from stab wounds. Today as the police carried out house to house

:01:59.:02:01.

enquiries in the area another resident appeared in court accused

:02:01.:02:04.

of his murder. 41-year-old Derek Hancock spoke only to confirm his

:02:04.:02:08.

name, age, and address. Wearing a black tea shirt he nodded when told

:02:08.:02:11.

by the magistrates he would be remanded in custody to appear at

:02:11.:02:15.

Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday. --T-shirt.

:02:15.:02:18.

The home is run by the Social Enterprise and Charity Home Group

:02:18.:02:22.

who told the BBC that they were shocked and saddened by the death

:02:22.:02:26.

and that the service had existed in Egerton Road for many years and that

:02:26.:02:28.

the group enjoyed good relations with neighbours. Over the very sad

:02:29.:02:32.

somebody has been killed. I can understand why there is a need for

:02:32.:02:37.

this facility, there has to be somewhere, and it has in there for a

:02:37.:02:40.

number of years without any problems.

:02:40.:02:42.

And in a separate development, the watchdog, the Independent Police

:02:42.:02:45.

Complaints Commission, is to examine how Avon and Somerset Police handled

:02:45.:02:49.

the incident. This is because of the force involvement with the man

:02:49.:02:52.

before his death. A Gloucestershire coroner has been

:02:52.:02:56.

ordered to stand trial accused of fraud and the theft of more than �2

:02:56.:02:59.

million. Alan Crickmore is charged with stealing from four dead people

:02:59.:03:05.

while acting as the executor of their estates. The 57-year-old is

:03:05.:03:12.

one of Britain's longest serving coroners. The case has been

:03:12.:03:15.

adjourned several times already, but today it was sent to Southwark Crown

:03:15.:03:19.

Court for a preliminary hearing. The Mayor of Bristol says he wants

:03:19.:03:22.

more people to walk and cycle to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta

:03:22.:03:26.

next year. His comments follow the four-day event, which attracted half

:03:26.:03:31.

a million visitors to watch balloons and an extended RAF airshow. But

:03:32.:03:37.

once again traffic jams were also on display. So is the Mayor right to

:03:37.:03:47.
:03:47.:03:50.

suggest increasing car park fees? Half a million came to watch. But

:03:50.:03:55.

once again complaints about traffic jams. Bristol's mayor wants visitors

:03:55.:03:58.

to walk or cycle next year. And thinks raising the �10 parking fee

:03:58.:04:02.

may help. As the clean up began today the fiesta organisers said

:04:02.:04:07.

they'll meet up with the major. There is possibly a case for putting

:04:07.:04:12.

up the cost of parking, you could see that as an international --

:04:12.:04:18.

environmental levy to encourage more people to cycle and walk.

:04:18.:04:22.

organisers said they will meet up with the mayor. But have no plans to

:04:22.:04:25.

raise car park fees. Adding the number arriving by car has reduced

:04:25.:04:32.

in recent years. We have created an even split of those who use public

:04:33.:04:37.

transport or walk to the side, with those who use their cars so we have

:04:37.:04:42.

reduced the number of cars on site. We have introduced a new subtle bus

:04:42.:04:48.

-- shuttle bus service, and we have encouraged the use of those, but car

:04:48.:04:54.

parking is an important revenue to ensure this continues. The major

:04:54.:04:56.

will argue fewer cars paying slightly more will reduce traffic

:04:56.:05:03.

jams without cutting income. It cost �600,000 a year to put on and there

:05:03.:05:07.

is no public subsidy. It's a symptom of the success of the event boosted

:05:07.:05:10.

this year by a return of the Red Arrows and two displays from the

:05:10.:05:15.

Typhoon fighter. A bit of a shock for the Long Ashton locals. We did

:05:16.:05:20.

think we were under attack we didn't have anyone Inc so it was a bit

:05:20.:05:24.

frightening for the children, but it was good fun once we realised it was

:05:24.:05:28.

a fighter plane in the sky. So plenty to thrill everyone in

:05:28.:05:32.

2013. The stars of the show as ever though, the balloons and their

:05:32.:05:40.

pilots. Looks they enjoyed it too. Well Bristol's Mayor was one of the

:05:40.:05:43.

people celebrating another �11 million been given to help improve

:05:43.:05:49.

improve cycling facilities. Schemes in Bristol, South Gloucestershire

:05:49.:05:53.

and Bath will all benefit from the money.

:05:53.:05:57.

Some of the money comes from a �94 million government pot to promote

:05:57.:06:00.

what the prime minister is calling a "cycling revolution". Ali Vowles

:06:00.:06:10.
:06:10.:06:14.

reports. I am dressed for the occasion. I am

:06:14.:06:17.

relatively new to cycling but I really like it. I am one of those

:06:17.:06:22.

people who thinks it is a great way to keep fit. This cycle path is that

:06:22.:06:26.

two tunnels cycle path, the newest one to open in Bath and the majority

:06:26.:06:30.

is completely traffic free. For many people this is the only kind of

:06:30.:06:33.

cycling they will do, when they don't come into contact with the

:06:33.:06:37.

car. The reason this money is so important, particularly in places

:06:37.:06:41.

like Bristol and Bath, is that much of the money is going to be used to

:06:41.:06:44.

improve cycle pathways in the centre of the cities and on the outskirts

:06:44.:06:47.

on the roads, to try and make cycling safer. I have been on my

:06:47.:06:51.

bike to date taking a little look at the situation here in the West.

:06:51.:06:56.

There is no doubt about it, more and more of us in the West are taking to

:06:56.:06:59.

our bikes. The success of the Olympics, Paralymics and Tour de

:06:59.:07:02.

France, plus the rising costs of running a car, mean two wheels

:07:02.:07:05.

rather than four seems a better option. Bristol became England's

:07:05.:07:09.

first cycling city in 2008 and over the years improvements to cycle

:07:09.:07:16.

lanes and routes have gradually increased cycling numbers. What will

:07:16.:07:22.

it mean across the West? The centre of Bristol will see better links

:07:22.:07:31.

along the length of the River Avon. It'll make it easier for people to

:07:31.:07:34.

cross the river from North to South and cycle alongside it. In South

:07:34.:07:37.

Gloucestershire there will be improvements to the Hambrook

:07:37.:07:40.

sections of the Cribbs Causeway to Emersons Green Trunk Cycle Route,

:07:40.:07:43.

And in Baths Kingsmead Square, which is right in the centre of the city

:07:43.:07:48.

there will be a �1 million make over to the Seven Dials Cycle route. Bath

:07:48.:07:52.

and North East Somerset Council says it will make all the difference to

:07:52.:07:55.

cyclists in Bath who unlike the cars will be able to go in both

:07:55.:08:02.

directions. Provided they are well marked and bright -- well researched

:08:02.:08:06.

they are perfectly safe stop it will mean cyclists will be able to travel

:08:06.:08:10.

in many more directions and many more weeks to get where they want.

:08:10.:08:16.

-- many rural boots. -- many more routes. But as I know living here,

:08:16.:08:19.

Bath is never an easy city to navigate whatever the means of

:08:19.:08:23.

transport. Narrow and busy roads do make designated cycle routes tricky

:08:23.:08:27.

to use in some parts of the city. Many people say they are reluctant

:08:27.:08:30.

to cycle on the roads because they don't feel safe. So will the �11

:08:30.:08:33.

million investment across the region really change anything? Whether or

:08:33.:08:35.

not it is enough, there are statistics released that 2% of

:08:35.:08:38.

journeys made in the UK last year were on bikes. Only 2%. The

:08:38.:08:41.

government want to increase that. Whether or not this level of funding

:08:41.:08:46.

is enough to see a large increase remains to be seen, a lot of people

:08:46.:08:52.

are sceptical. There is criticism, but it is a start. Do today cyclists

:08:52.:08:56.

think there is room for improvement? When there are parts right this it

:08:56.:09:00.

is good. I think it would be better if they improve it will stop it is

:09:00.:09:06.

quite difficult, people get annoyed you are in the way, and that is

:09:06.:09:10.

tricky. When it gets to the dangerous but there is no cycle

:09:10.:09:13.

then, they have got it the wrong way round. They have got it where it is

:09:13.:09:18.

not dangerous. It is hoped most of the work will be completed by the

:09:18.:09:23.

end of two of -- 2015, but the question is how many more of us will

:09:23.:09:33.
:09:33.:09:36.

take advantage of it? I see it from both sides, cyclists and rages. This

:09:36.:09:40.

money can only improve things, I will not disappoint you, I will go

:09:40.:09:45.

on my way home. She has got all the gear and she is

:09:45.:09:53.

out of here. You are watching BBC Points West.

:09:53.:09:58.

Please do stay with us, much more still to bring you, including we

:09:58.:10:01.

find out why you will be seeing fewer bathhouse across Somerset this

:10:01.:10:06.

year. -- barn owls. Look to the skies

:10:06.:10:15.

tonight for a huge natural firework New research by the BBC has shown

:10:15.:10:18.

that local councils are still owed more than �24 million from the

:10:18.:10:23.

collapse of the Icelandic banks five years ago. Eight of our local

:10:24.:10:27.

councils are still waiting for parts of their deposits to be returned.

:10:27.:10:30.

Somerset County Council is still hoping to get back more than �8

:10:30.:10:36.

million of taxpayers' money, from its deposit of �25 million. And

:10:36.:10:39.

Cheltenham Borough Council, which had 11 million in accounts in the

:10:39.:10:42.

country, is still owed more than four million. We'll be talking to

:10:42.:10:45.

the Taxpayers' Alliance about the figures in tonight's ten O'Clock

:10:45.:10:54.

News. The farming minister has said

:10:54.:11:01.

failing to act to eradicate bovine debate... Is not option. Efforts to

:11:01.:11:06.

combat TB are being stepped up, in addition to badger culling in

:11:06.:11:09.

Gloucestershire and Somerset more money will be invested in

:11:09.:11:18.

vaccinating badges. -- badgers. A Bristol woman has spoken of her

:11:18.:11:21.

anger and disappointment after failing to get a change in the law

:11:21.:11:23.

which could have helped estranged grandparents. Jane Jackson's

:11:23.:11:27.

campaign featured on Inside Out West last autumn just as MPs were looking

:11:27.:11:31.

at the legislation. But the bill now seems unlikely to deliver what they

:11:31.:11:34.

had had hoped for. Here's Inside Out's Alastair McKee.

:11:34.:11:41.

Jane and Marc haven't seen one of their grandchildren for years.

:11:41.:11:51.
:11:51.:11:52.

continuous daily grief. There isn't a single day, excuse me. To see your

:11:52.:11:56.

family falling apart, it is absolutely heartbreaking.

:11:56.:12:03.

So Jane set up a support network filmed by Inside Out last year.

:12:03.:12:06.

have been getting increasing calls from grandparents. More than 1,000

:12:06.:12:10.

so far. They can't automatically see their grandchildren if the parents

:12:10.:12:15.

split up. So many lobbied for shared parenting to become law meaning both

:12:15.:12:19.

parents would be involved in a child's life. So these grandparents

:12:20.:12:24.

could be too. But they haven't got what they wanted on the statute

:12:24.:12:30.

books. It is not a presumption of shared parenting, it is something we

:12:30.:12:34.

get on that. It is not anything that says there is a right to a certain

:12:34.:12:39.

amount of contact, a right to shared parenting. It is in the -- simply

:12:39.:12:44.

something which says the court will be entitled to presume that a parent

:12:44.:12:48.

should be involved, and there is no particular definition of what that

:12:48.:12:51.

involvement means, so that could mean different things to different

:12:51.:12:54.

people. What this all means to Jane is

:12:54.:12:59.

clear. Without it, she says, she's no chance of seeing her grandchild.

:12:59.:13:03.

If I'm honest I think the government off watching it. It is catastrophic

:13:03.:13:10.

for a whole generation of children. The situation will not change. And

:13:10.:13:17.

those who are affected by denied contact no that there has be a

:13:17.:13:22.

back-up in law. The government says it is helping broken families beyond

:13:22.:13:26.

the court, but that a child's interest is paramount. And they have

:13:26.:13:32.

support from many in the legal profession. The interests of the

:13:32.:13:36.

other adult family members are part of the picture but it's hard to come

:13:36.:13:40.

to the right outcome if you don't focus back on the interests of the

:13:40.:13:44.

child. Jane agrees with this focus. But like many others, she just wants

:13:44.:13:50.

to see her grandchild. There is always that hope that that knock on

:13:50.:13:57.

the door will come. It might well happen, things could change. Things

:13:57.:14:01.

are still really tough for Jane and other grandparents like her who

:14:01.:14:05.

desperately want to see their grandchildren, don't have the right

:14:05.:14:11.

to see them. We will be an eye on this issue and a whole lot more when

:14:11.:14:19.

inside out returns next month on BBC One. I hope you will join us.

:14:19.:14:23.

The number of barn owls in our region is in serious decline -and it

:14:23.:14:29.

seems, last year's terrible weather is partly to blame. A conservation

:14:29.:14:32.

project in Somerset has revealed that numbers there have dropped by

:14:32.:14:36.

60% in the past year. Now farmers are being asked to support efforts

:14:36.:14:39.

to save the barn owl from extinction.

:14:39.:14:42.

It may seem a distance memory now but a year ago vast areas of

:14:42.:14:52.

Somerset were under water. And the barn owl paid the price. Let's go

:14:52.:14:54.

and have a look, we have got a box here.

:14:54.:14:58.

Chris Sperring works for the Hawk and Owl Trust who two years ago

:14:58.:15:01.

embarked on a project to put up hundreds of nesting boxes across

:15:01.:15:05.

Somerset to boost the barn owl population. This was checked about a

:15:05.:15:08.

month ago. But camera checks of those boxes

:15:08.:15:11.

under a special licence have revealed an alarming drop in numbers

:15:11.:15:18.

of a bird already struggling to survive.

:15:18.:15:22.

It is an empty box. From the early results we have got so far I would

:15:22.:15:28.

estimate we have lost a bubbly up to 60% of the entire population. --

:15:28.:15:33.

probably. That is looking at anything up to 70, 80 pairs.

:15:33.:15:36.

In areas like this the flooding wiped out the barn owl's food stock,

:15:36.:15:42.

voles. And even when the flood water cleared, bittingly cold winds this

:15:42.:15:48.

spring kept the owls from hunting, and they died, so did their young.

:15:48.:15:53.

It was, say the conservationists, a double whammy.

:15:53.:15:57.

Well now farmers are being asked to play their part to boost the barn

:15:57.:16:02.

owl population. By leaving borders of long grass around their fields,

:16:02.:16:10.

borders where voles breed. It is farmers to the rescue, they can come

:16:10.:16:13.

to the rescue and we have proved with the Somerset community barn owl

:16:13.:16:17.

project they do come to the rescue. We have got farmers within the

:16:17.:16:26.

project who are leaving margins like this voluntarily offer very back.

:16:26.:16:29.

The barn owl isn't, they say, heading for extinction but the

:16:29.:16:33.

decline is serious and needs to be reversed.

:16:33.:16:36.

Yeovil Town say they're close to signing a new goalkeeper following

:16:36.:16:42.

an injury to Marek Stech at the weekend. Yeovil had to call on the

:16:42.:16:45.

services of their goalkeeping coach to replace Stech who could be out

:16:45.:16:49.

for up to four months. Damian Derrick has more.

:16:49.:16:52.

It was Yeovil's first home match in their first season in the

:16:52.:16:56.

Championship. In front of almost 9,000 people at Huish Park fireworks

:16:56.:17:00.

and an opera singer were in the script.

:17:00.:17:04.

Goalkeeper Marek Stech breaking his hand in two places after just eight

:17:04.:17:10.

minutes was not. He had a fantastic season last

:17:10.:17:15.

season, the great pre-season, a good start, just one of those freak

:17:15.:17:19.

injuries, punched the back of his own centre half's head, fractured

:17:19.:17:25.

his hand in a couple of places. Stech had been one of Yeovil's

:17:25.:17:29.

stand-out players last season and their man of the match in promotion

:17:29.:17:32.

play-off final at Wembley. But it was then down to goalkeeping coach

:17:32.:17:37.

Gareth Stewart to fill not just his shoes but also his gloves.

:17:37.:17:40.

Not having the time to think about it for too long is easier, it was

:17:40.:17:44.

just a case of getting on and doing the things that were happening at

:17:44.:17:50.

the time and finding out how it was going to go. Nothing is appraising

:17:50.:17:54.

in this game, still 11 people against 11 people at the end of the

:17:54.:17:57.

day and you have got to be ready for the situation as it is.

:17:57.:18:00.

Yeovil's bad luck continued as they lost out to a goal which bounced off

:18:00.:18:04.

one of their defenders. But it was a good day for one Yeovil player,

:18:04.:18:13.

Paddy Madden. Rewarded for his 23 goals last season he's been called

:18:13.:18:17.

up into the Republic of Ireland squad for their match against Wales

:18:17.:18:20.

on Wednesday. Tonight Yeovil say they're already close to signing a

:18:20.:18:23.

new goalie to replace Steck, he's Wayne Hennessey who plays for

:18:23.:18:24.

Wolves. He is a top goalkeeper, it suits

:18:24.:18:31.

everybody, we need a first-team keeper, and it is a perfect

:18:31.:18:38.

situation. The club hopes to confirm the deal on Thursday.

:18:39.:18:42.

The Bath based 400 metre hurdler Dai Greene has made it through to the

:18:42.:18:45.

semi-finals at the World Championships in Moscow. Dai, who is

:18:45.:18:49.

defending the title he won two years ago, has been struggling with injury

:18:49.:18:55.

this season. He also fell ill over the weekend but scraped home fifth

:18:55.:19:03.

in his heat to get one of the last places.

:19:03.:19:12.

It is difficult to do, I hope I will produce a better performance

:19:12.:19:16.

tomorrow because it is a wide open event, just going to rest as much as

:19:16.:19:21.

possible, fingers crossed there is more tomorrow.

:19:21.:19:24.

In the women's event, Eilidh Child, who's also based at the University

:19:24.:19:27.

of Bath, made it into the semi-finals which take place

:19:27.:19:31.

tomorrow. All amateur cricketers probably

:19:31.:19:35.

third-rate June of playing at Lord's but a village team from South

:19:35.:19:37.

Gloucestershire will be batting and bowling on the same page as many

:19:37.:19:43.

cricketing legends. Rock captain yesterday won the semifinal of the

:19:43.:19:46.

National Village knockout competition and their reward is a

:19:46.:19:48.

trip to the home of cricket for the final at the beginning of

:19:48.:19:53.

September. Joining me now three members of the successful club,

:19:53.:19:58.

thanks very much for coming in. James, Jack and nail. James, you

:19:58.:20:01.

have taken part in this competition before but you have never got very

:20:01.:20:07.

far so what has been the difference? It was just the general mindset.

:20:07.:20:10.

Previously Sunday cricket has always been treated as a knock-about, just

:20:10.:20:15.

the chance for everybody to have a go, but this year we sort of said we

:20:15.:20:19.

will take it as seriously as possible and take a Saturday league

:20:19.:20:24.

mindset into the games and it has been everybody pulling in the right

:20:24.:20:31.

direction and we got on a roll. Jack, you are a member of the team,

:20:31.:20:35.

is everybody from the village? Pretty much. Nine of the 11 that

:20:35.:20:43.

played yesterday came through our youth system, all local lads. Quite

:20:43.:20:48.

a few brothers in there as well. A lot of competition to get into the

:20:48.:20:53.

main site. The has-been. As we have progressed

:20:53.:20:57.

it has got quite fierce, James had to make some trust -- tough

:20:57.:21:02.

decisions. What has it meant to the village to

:21:02.:21:05.

have this success and how have you benefited?

:21:05.:21:12.

It is huge, so mini unsung heroes at the club, on the business end, and

:21:12.:21:19.

the people at the club, it benefits them, the bar running, the barbecue,

:21:19.:21:25.

the pitch needs preparing, the whole club are just absolutely ecstatic.

:21:25.:21:29.

There were even a few tears yesterday from some of the fans and

:21:29.:21:31.

it was a fantastic day. I bet you have had hundreds of

:21:31.:21:36.

people contributing money. We are a small village but everybody

:21:36.:21:41.

from the locality, people travelling far and wide to come and watch, a

:21:41.:21:47.

lot of the local cricket clubs get involved to support.

:21:47.:21:51.

What will it mean to step out on the pitch at Lord's? It will be

:21:51.:21:56.

incredible. Unless you play professional cricket

:21:56.:22:00.

there are very few people that get the opportunity to play at Lord's.

:22:00.:22:05.

When you set out in the competition many teams recognise that is the

:22:05.:22:09.

price you are playing for. Yesterday for the 11 ads it was their cup

:22:09.:22:13.

final, winning that, getting to go to the home of cricket, it will be

:22:13.:22:20.

massive for all of us. We are taking a lot of people down there.

:22:20.:22:23.

Well done on this success, have a fantastic day, September the 8th,

:22:23.:22:33.
:22:33.:22:33.

the final. They are stars. Talking of which,

:22:34.:22:37.

tonight is the night for stargazers as the skies above us are set to

:22:37.:22:39.

shimmer with a natural firework display.

:22:39.:22:41.

The annual Perseids meteor shower will be hitting the earth's

:22:41.:22:45.

atmosphere. And if you're lucky you may see up to 60 shooting stars an

:22:45.:22:50.

hour with the naked eye. Joining us now is Dr Robert Massey from the

:22:50.:22:52.

Royal Astronomical Society, who lives in Bristol. An exciting night

:22:52.:22:56.

in prospect, Doctor Massey. This is really easy, all you have to

:22:56.:22:59.

do is go out in your back garden, standout on the street and look up.

:22:59.:23:03.

If the weather clear, if you are reasonably away from light, every

:23:03.:23:07.

chance you will see quite a few meteors, I cannot think of an easier

:23:07.:23:11.

way to do this. In previous years you can lay out

:23:11.:23:16.

and think, just one more, and you are there for ages. Get yourself

:23:16.:23:20.

comfortable, I know it has obvious. You can lie out on a sun lounge in

:23:20.:23:24.

the middle of the night, if you do that it works very well, but a hot

:23:24.:23:29.

drink and wrap up well, obviously. You can get rather cold.

:23:29.:23:34.

Are there any other tricks? I know your eyes adjust more, getting away

:23:34.:23:38.

from streetlights, that is busily going to be good. Is there a way to

:23:38.:23:42.

look, direction? If you look more or less straight

:23:42.:23:46.

up, it sounds obvious, but the direction they come from is the

:23:46.:23:50.

north-east but the trails will be short of from the perspective, so if

:23:50.:23:55.

you look up, you will have a good view, stay up till the small hours.

:23:55.:24:01.

The times, we need the mean to get out the weight so it is from about

:24:01.:24:06.

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

:24:06.:24:12.

but you get these ones that just skim the edge of the atmosphere. It

:24:12.:24:19.

is a bit unpredictable. I have been out before and I have been looking

:24:19.:24:25.

in the wrong direction. It is really hard to point out to somebody else.

:24:25.:24:29.

We hope people enjoyed, if you get some fantastic pictures it would be

:24:29.:24:33.

great to see them. Ian is now going to give is the

:24:33.:24:36.

all-important forecast to find out if we can even see them with the

:24:36.:24:46.
:24:46.:24:48.

will lose the cloud that we have across some parts of the West

:24:48.:24:50.

Country, progressively getting it in looking very nice indeed. We will

:24:50.:24:53.

lose the cloud that we have across some parts of the West Country,

:24:53.:24:55.

progressively getting eaten away from the West, and as the magic song

:24:55.:24:58.

there will be even less in the way of cloud, all looking very fortunate

:24:58.:25:02.

if you're heading out into the countryside which will be the best

:25:02.:25:07.

sport -- spot away from light sources in urban areas. It will turn

:25:08.:25:11.

pretty cold for the time of year so whether you are on a sun lounge or

:25:12.:25:16.

wherever you will need to consider dressing appropriately. For

:25:16.:25:20.

tomorrow, those of you who have managed to get some sleep, it starts

:25:20.:25:25.

with the legacy of the clear skies, a good deal of clear blue sky, the

:25:25.:25:33.

progressively more crowd -- cloud as the day goes on. This is how things

:25:33.:25:37.

are shaping up as we run through the next 24 hours, a rich of

:25:37.:25:41.

high-pressure starting to toppling towards the west. At the same time a

:25:41.:25:46.

rather weak one front. Most of the rain associated with high ground of

:25:46.:25:56.
:25:56.:25:59.

Wales. Some showery rain across northern parts. For two nights, much

:25:59.:26:04.

of the cloud just slowly getting eaten away. As the clear sky is

:26:04.:26:08.

developed the night of light winds, we shouldn't see any problems with

:26:08.:26:10.

missed four, visibility good across-the-board, into the early

:26:10.:26:16.

hours. These are the urban temperatures but out in the

:26:16.:26:21.

countryside it could get down to eight degrees. A cold starts

:26:21.:26:25.

tomorrow, but nonetheless and a good deal of sunshine for the start of

:26:25.:26:28.

the rush-hour. Cloud Wrigley starting to encroach into the

:26:28.:26:34.

north-west through the mid-morning period -- cloud quickly. Some patchy

:26:34.:26:38.

or showery outbreaks of rain, more of that towards the north. The best

:26:38.:26:43.

conditions towards the south. As we get later into the afternoon and

:26:43.:26:47.

evening we will return some brighter weather. Quite breezy through the

:26:47.:26:50.

afternoon to marvel stop temperatures similar to today,

:26:51.:26:57.

somewhere between 18 and 20 degrees. I mentioned Wednesday, we will start

:26:57.:27:04.

to go down a different route, a lot of low cloud, that will bring some

:27:04.:27:09.

patchy outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. On Thursday a lot of that

:27:09.:27:13.

left behind, on Friday we are looking at a wet and windy spell, so

:27:13.:27:17.

that rain could be quite heavy at times. Towards the end of August we

:27:17.:27:20.

have got growing confidence the pressure will build and we will see

:27:20.:27:24.

a return of some decent summer conditions.
