:00:12. > :00:19.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight:
:00:20. > :00:22.Why was he allowed to leave Britain? A convicted paedophile is arrested
:00:23. > :00:26.in Cambodia after "buying" an 8`year`old boy.
:00:27. > :00:29.The great tobacco scam ` a gang is in court for illegally importing
:00:30. > :00:31.cheap cigarettes. This man's shock after his
:00:32. > :00:42.mother`in`law's body is taken from hospital by the wrong undertaker. It
:00:43. > :00:44.was just complete shock, because we didn't find out until ten days after
:00:45. > :00:49.it had been removed. And Come Dine with Ed ` the Labour
:00:50. > :00:56.leader in the West tonight for a ?50`a`head fundraiser. Good evening.
:00:57. > :00:59.Questions are being asked tonight about how a convicted paedophile
:01:00. > :01:04.from Stroud was able to travel to Cambodia days after being released
:01:05. > :01:08.from prison. Richard Fruin was arrested in the country's capital on
:01:09. > :01:12.Sunday, in a guesthouse. Police say he was with an 8`year`old boy. He
:01:13. > :01:18.faces charges of purchasing a child for sex, and up to five years in
:01:19. > :01:21.prison. Andrew Plant reports. Richard Fruin is a convicted sex
:01:22. > :01:31.offender ` released early from prison this year. But these pictures
:01:32. > :01:35.show his arrest just four days ago in a hotel room in Cambodia, and the
:01:36. > :01:41.company, police say, of an eight`year`old boy. He was first
:01:42. > :01:45.arrested in 2005 for making indecent images of children, but before
:01:46. > :01:50.standing trial, he fled the country and was not seen again for seven
:01:51. > :01:54.years. But on returning to the UK in 2012, she was arrested, and in
:01:55. > :01:58.November last year, jailed for 2 months and added to the sex
:01:59. > :02:04.offenders register. But when he was released this year, he again left
:02:05. > :02:08.the country. It seems the last time he lived here was back in 2005,
:02:09. > :02:15.shortly before he disappeared abroad. The eight years in between
:02:16. > :02:22.seen to have is raised most traces, but then he started making headlines
:02:23. > :02:28.again when he was identified in Cambodia for dumb act by an
:02:29. > :02:32.organisation, which aims to stop sex offenders getting access to
:02:33. > :02:39.children. Today, the director said they had been watching Richard Fruin
:02:40. > :02:44.since he arrived. We identified him as a convicted sex offender from the
:02:45. > :02:49.UK from some open source is, and we were also of the belief that he
:02:50. > :02:54.would pose a great danger to Cambodian children, so we took very
:02:55. > :03:00.fast action, I decided to inform the police right away, after we dusted
:03:01. > :03:05.the De mac `` conducted the investigation, and we also told the
:03:06. > :03:13.UK authorities so that we could coordinate. The local MP says there
:03:14. > :03:18.are questions to answer about why he was able to travel abroad. We have
:03:19. > :03:24.to think about the probation service and how he was treated well he was
:03:25. > :03:28.released, and is as pro`important police have appropriate records
:03:29. > :03:32.because at the end of the day, it is linkage between agencies in
:03:33. > :03:36.situations like this that lets us down. UK law allows offenders to
:03:37. > :03:39.serve up to half their sentence outside jail, but offenders released
:03:40. > :03:42.early are rarely given permission to leave the country. Despite dozens of
:03:43. > :03:46.phone calls to police and probation services today, it's still not clear
:03:47. > :03:49.whether Fruin was legally free to travel abroad. He faces charges of
:03:50. > :03:58.purchasing child prostitution and could face a sentence of up to five
:03:59. > :04:01.years. Police in Bristol have charged 1
:04:02. > :04:05.people in connection with the disorder at Ashton Gate last month.
:04:06. > :04:10.Officers carried out dawn raids across the region yesterday, making
:04:11. > :04:13.40 arrests. Trouble flared at the end of the derby match between
:04:14. > :04:16.Bristol City and Bristol Rovers when some fans invaded the pitch.
:04:17. > :04:21.The charges relate to criminal damage, assault and the throwing of
:04:22. > :04:24.missiles. A GP from Wiltshire who was jailed
:04:25. > :04:30.for 12 years after secretly filming female patients is to appeal against
:04:31. > :04:36.his sentence. Davinderjit Bains pleaded guilty to 39 sexual offences
:04:37. > :04:40.in May this year. He used concealed cameras in two watches and a clock
:04:41. > :04:46.to film intimate examinations at his surgery in Royal Wootton Bassett. He
:04:47. > :04:50.was struck off the medical register. He's now approached the Court of
:04:51. > :04:53.Appeal in a bid to have his sentence reduced.
:04:54. > :04:56.A woman was rescued from a river near Chepstow town centre in the
:04:57. > :04:59.early hours of this morning. Police say she fell from the A48 bridge
:05:00. > :05:07.between Chepstow and Sedbury in Gloucestershire. A lifeboat found
:05:08. > :05:11.her in the River Wye and took her to an ambulance. She is now in a stable
:05:12. > :05:13.condition at Frenchay hospital in Bristol.
:05:14. > :05:16.Six men will be sentenced in December after admitting their
:05:17. > :05:20.involvement in the sale of illegal tobacco in Gloucester worth tens of
:05:21. > :05:25.thousands of pounds. The gang were caught several times selling the
:05:26. > :05:27.cigarettes from a store in the city. Anti`smoking charities have
:05:28. > :05:31.condemned the illegal trade, saying the cheaper prices encourage
:05:32. > :05:41.children to smoke. Our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve
:05:42. > :05:45.Knibbs, was in court. These are the cigarettes that we seized from the
:05:46. > :05:49.shop over a ten month period. The haul is worth over ?120,000
:05:50. > :05:52.It's thought much of it was smuggled in from the Far East, via Eastern
:05:53. > :05:55.Europe. Some is genuine, but without the legal health warnings and
:05:56. > :06:02.designed to be sold abroad, but much of it is fake. Whereas a general
:06:03. > :06:07.packet of cigarettes, would be tested for the quantity of nicotine
:06:08. > :06:14.and car, you really wouldn't know what was in these. It could be
:06:15. > :06:17.anything. Following complaints from other shops in the city, Trading
:06:18. > :06:19.Standards investigated a store in the centre of Gloucester, and
:06:20. > :06:22.despite repeated warnings, staff there continued to sell illegal
:06:23. > :06:25.tobacco. Surveillance pictures showed members of the gang
:06:26. > :06:27.transferring the cigarettes into the shop. Some was hidden under a
:06:28. > :06:32.display shelf of real cigarettes, some in a child's play house near to
:06:33. > :06:34.the back of the store. As trading standards continually targeted the
:06:35. > :06:40.shop, they had to come up with other ways to hide the stock, for example,
:06:41. > :06:49.this television, which held up to 40 card and stomach cartoons ``
:06:50. > :06:54.cartoons of illegal with obtained cigarettes. The offenders and this
:06:55. > :06:58.case were partly exploiting demand. They have taken advantage of that.
:06:59. > :07:03.They have taken advantage of the economic situation at the moment.
:07:04. > :07:11.They have seen a way to make money. There is a lot of money to be made.
:07:12. > :07:15.This case started by complaints in the area. Figures suggest that one
:07:16. > :07:22.in ten cigarettes sold in the region are illegal. Obviously, they are not
:07:23. > :07:29.selling as much as there `` as they were, and that is a concern. But
:07:30. > :07:32.there are wider concerns ` that the availability and cost of the illegal
:07:33. > :07:38.tobacco is attracting younger people to smoke. The price of cigarettes is
:07:39. > :07:42.one of the things that motivates people to quit, so that is a
:07:43. > :07:47.powerful one we would support. Smuggled tobacco undermines that
:07:48. > :07:51.makes it cheaper. People still eat, Arquette start, that is a concern.
:07:52. > :07:55.We have to do everything we can to help people quit and stop kids from
:07:56. > :07:58.starting. Five men appeared in court today. Blund Tofiq, Jamal Mahmood,
:07:59. > :08:02.Ari Ali Ahmed, Ako Ahmed and Najmadin Karim. They'll be sentenced
:08:03. > :08:08.next month. Haitham Karim, who has also pleaded guilty, didn't turn up.
:08:09. > :08:11.The court was told he may have fled the country and a warrant has been
:08:12. > :08:16.issued for him. The tobacco seized will now be destroyed.
:08:17. > :08:20.A Bristol hospital has been criticised for allowing a woman s
:08:21. > :08:23.body to be collected by the wrong funeral directors ` without any
:08:24. > :08:25.paperwork. Peter Williams says he was shocked to discover his
:08:26. > :08:30.mother`in`law's body had been taken from the Bristol Royal Infirmary.
:08:31. > :08:32.His MP has taken the issue to Parliament, calling for processes
:08:33. > :08:39.around the release of bodies from hospitals to be tightened. Katy
:08:40. > :08:42.Austin reports. Dealing with the death of a relative
:08:43. > :08:45.is always hard, but Peter Williams suffered additional distress when
:08:46. > :08:47.funeral directors turned up at the Bristol Royal Infirmary to collect
:08:48. > :08:54.the body of his mother`in`law, Gertrude. They were told that the
:08:55. > :08:58.body was already gone. It was just a complete shock, you know, because we
:08:59. > :09:02.didn't find out until ten days after it had been removed. Another funeral
:09:03. > :09:06.director had already taken away the body. Peter said he hadn't hired
:09:07. > :09:12.them to do the job, and crucially, the BRI hadn't asked them for the
:09:13. > :09:14.body release paperwork. Peter complained to Bristol's NHS
:09:15. > :09:18.Foundation Trust, and they wrote back. They apologised and said they
:09:19. > :09:21.would never normally give out a body to a funeral director without the
:09:22. > :09:26.correct paperwork. They insist their procedures are robust and blame this
:09:27. > :09:30.incident on individual error. I just didn't really accept it could be one
:09:31. > :09:33.person's fault. When people are turning up with no paperwork, that's
:09:34. > :09:37.a process fault, rather than just one individual's fault. The
:09:38. > :09:40.Department for Health said there is no legal requirement for hospitals
:09:41. > :09:44.to request release forms, but it expects processes to be in place for
:09:45. > :09:50.the safe and appropriate release of bodies. Peter's MP thinks more needs
:09:51. > :09:53.to be done. The Department of Health guidelines need clarifying so this
:09:54. > :09:56.should not happen again to another family, and also, undertakers need
:09:57. > :10:00.to take responsibility and make sure they have the correct paperwork
:10:01. > :10:07.before they go to mortuaries to take away bodies of the deceased. The
:10:08. > :10:14.health ombudsman is now looking into the case.
:10:15. > :10:17.A father and son from Somerset have been fined over ?1,300 each after
:10:18. > :10:21.admitting blocking badger setts on their farm and piping car exhaust
:10:22. > :10:28.fumes into the earth to gas the animals inside. David and Philip
:10:29. > :10:31.Bown said they did it after finding a sick badger on their land, which
:10:32. > :10:41.they feared could pass bovine TB to their dairy herd. Zoe Gough reports
:10:42. > :10:47.from Yeovil Magistrates' Court. Father and son, David and Philip
:10:48. > :10:52.Bown both appeared before magistrates today, both cattle
:10:53. > :10:57.farmers who both farmed at Batcombe Vale Farm near Shepton Mallet. The
:10:58. > :11:02.court heard he had suffered an outbreak of TB in 2011, which
:11:03. > :11:08.resulted in 54 of their dairy cows being put down. The cases self was
:11:09. > :11:14.brought by the RSPCA. Both men admitted joint charges of wilfully
:11:15. > :11:23.killing badgers and interfering with a badger set. The court awarded them
:11:24. > :11:29.`` asked them both to pay one thousand ?375 each. Following the
:11:30. > :11:34.verdict, and RSPCA officer gave me this reaction. I don't think the
:11:35. > :11:37.defendants are bad people. They have been foolish in blocking the dog
:11:38. > :11:44.badger setts and putting the hose pipes done it, but we are
:11:45. > :11:49.sympathetic to the fact that they had TB, and they were desperate
:11:50. > :11:56.So, overall, I'm happy with the sentence that the magistrate has
:11:57. > :12:01.given out. The magistrate `` RSPCA officer also told me that had been
:12:02. > :12:04.difficult in deciding how to proceed, but because of the serious
:12:05. > :12:08.nature of the charges, they decided to bring it to court. He also
:12:09. > :12:17.pointed out that with the following badger cull, he gave credit to the
:12:18. > :12:21.two farmers for not having used that as an excuse, but simply saying that
:12:22. > :12:26.it was down to their concerns for their own livestock.
:12:27. > :12:29.Still to come: You're watching Points West with David and Alex on
:12:30. > :12:32.this Halloween night. No tricks coming your way ` only treats,
:12:33. > :12:38.including: Marching through Malmesbury. We meet the troops
:12:39. > :12:41.charged with bringing everything home after more than a decade of
:12:42. > :12:44.British forces in Afghanistan. And trouble for the Bluebirds `
:12:45. > :12:56.Chippenham Town sack their manager after a 9`0 defeat, but he wasn t
:12:57. > :13:00.even at the game. That's coming up. Win seats across the West, and we'll
:13:01. > :13:05.win power in Westminster ` that s the message from Labour leader Ed
:13:06. > :13:08.Miliband to supporters this evening. He's in Bristol for a gala
:13:09. > :13:12.fundraising dinner. The party lost most of their MPs in the region at
:13:13. > :13:15.the last general election, so what happens here will help decide
:13:16. > :13:24.whether he becomes our next Prime Minister. Our political editor Paul
:13:25. > :13:27.Barltrop joins us from Filton. Good evening, at this social club,
:13:28. > :13:33.the dinner is about to get underway. The guest of honour is Ed
:13:34. > :13:38.Miliband, who is on a whistle`stop tour around the area. The short time
:13:39. > :13:46.ago, he was on the Southmead estate, popping into a cafe and meeting
:13:47. > :13:50.people on low wages. Labour lost this area in the last general
:13:51. > :13:54.election, so they are keen to get it back. They have selected candidates
:13:55. > :13:58.in Bristol North West, but where I am talking to you in Filton and
:13:59. > :14:01.Bradley Stoke, they haven't started selecting. It doesn't look like they
:14:02. > :14:06.will come next year, and it is even worse in Kingswood extort, which is
:14:07. > :14:13.a key target, but they have had a difficult time there. The candidate
:14:14. > :14:16.this dumb act they selected was forced to step aside in an
:14:17. > :14:19.embarrassing entity Dominic incident.
:14:20. > :14:22.She was meant to be the next MP for Kingswood. But Josie Channer lasted
:14:23. > :14:25.just three months as Labour's candidate ` forced out after
:14:26. > :14:28.revelations she owed the London council on which she sits ?2,00 in
:14:29. > :14:32.parking fines. Winning here often mirrors the national result. In the
:14:33. > :14:35.'70s and '90s, Labour took it as they ousted the Conservatives from
:14:36. > :14:38.government. One of their former MPs, today a local councillor, is unhappy
:14:39. > :14:41.at the way the recent selection was run. Well, I think it was
:14:42. > :14:45.embarrassing, because due diligence wasn't done by the officials of the
:14:46. > :14:52.Labour Party to make sure that the candidates are all kosher, shall we
:14:53. > :14:56.say? I'll go no further than that. But I did think at the time, and I
:14:57. > :15:03.still think, that Kingswood is best represented by people who are local.
:15:04. > :15:07.To boost morale, Ed Miliband's visited several key seats. This was
:15:08. > :15:11.Stroud, their top target in the West. Here and elsewhere, they've
:15:12. > :15:14.made some gains in council elections, but the 2015 general
:15:15. > :15:21.election is still a daunting challenge. You always get issues
:15:22. > :15:25.with candidates that emerge. I think she did the right thing by standing
:15:26. > :15:28.down, and we will select a new candidate soon, but I'm very, very
:15:29. > :15:31.confident that when people hear what we're talking about, on the
:15:32. > :15:34.substance of our issues, and when people see the representatives for
:15:35. > :15:41.Labour with fresh ideas about how we can turn things round for them,
:15:42. > :15:45.people will respond to our message. Today it was Bristol. Next time he
:15:46. > :15:53.comes West, it may be Gloucester or Swindon, as Ed Miliband looks for a
:15:54. > :15:56.way into Downing Street. The demo should be getting underway
:15:57. > :16:04.shortly, and they're expecting 00 guests around this earth De mac
:16:05. > :16:08.Southwest, as far south as Dorset. They are paying ?50 per head,
:16:09. > :16:12.raising money for the party and Ed Miliband open to abuse their
:16:13. > :16:18.morale. His evening will be a long one, because after he leaves, he is
:16:19. > :16:22.setting Dominic Headington Bristol to meet cleaners and talk about the
:16:23. > :16:25.living wage. Consultants at the Bristol Eye
:16:26. > :16:28.Hospital say that a new private clinic is helping them to treat
:16:29. > :16:31.patients on the NHS. The Bristol Laser Vision is run privately, but
:16:32. > :16:35.its facilities are leased to the NHS Trust so patients can access the
:16:36. > :16:40.latest technology without having to travel to London. Here's Jules Hyam.
:16:41. > :16:43.For almost three years, this was how Melissa Werret saw the world `
:16:44. > :16:50.through blinking, painful, streaming eyes, blurring her vision as one eye
:16:51. > :16:53.filled with liquid. A small part of her cornea had become damaged after
:16:54. > :17:03.she got a tiny piece of plastic stuck in her eye. I could wake up in
:17:04. > :17:07.the morning, going, I really need to get to work, but I cannot drive into
:17:08. > :17:13.work. It was very problematic, and when I am at work, you can't really
:17:14. > :17:16.see the screen or when you are in meetings. It is very embarrassing.
:17:17. > :17:20.Melissa's pain and embarrasment are now at an end because of this piece
:17:21. > :17:24.of kit. If it looks high`tech, that's because it is. These
:17:25. > :17:36.different devices help to analyse the audience, and build up a 3`D
:17:37. > :17:43.picture, and how to use them `` the laser. It has been great, it has
:17:44. > :17:45.been life changing. You don't realise how much you rely on your
:17:46. > :17:50.fishing until something goes wrong with it, and how painful something
:17:51. > :17:53.like that can be, until it happens to you. So to not have that pain and
:17:54. > :18:03.to hopefully be reassured that that is done going to come back, `` not
:18:04. > :18:06.going to come back, is brilliant. We are able to treat patients with the
:18:07. > :18:12.most advanced technology that we weren't able to before. It used to
:18:13. > :18:15.be that patients were referred by the private companies, but not any
:18:16. > :18:18.more. But now, by leasing the equipment from a private clinic NHS
:18:19. > :18:22.patients can get that treatment here.
:18:23. > :18:26.A ship which helped rescue thousands of soldiers from the beaches of
:18:27. > :18:29.Dunkirk left the Bristol Docks this afternoon after undergoing a major
:18:30. > :18:31.restoration. The Medway Queen was originally intended to be a pleasure
:18:32. > :18:38.cruiser before being enlisted into service in the Second World War She
:18:39. > :18:43.fell into disrepair and has recently been completely rebuilt here in
:18:44. > :18:53.Bristol. The paddle steamer is today being towed to Cornwall, before
:18:54. > :19:01.eventually going on display in Kent. Sad to see her go! Bon voyage!
:19:02. > :19:04.Now, as British forces prepare to scale back operations in Afghanistan
:19:05. > :19:07.by the end of 2014, thoughts are very much turning to homecomings and
:19:08. > :19:10.medal ceremonies. Yesterday, we were in Tidworth with Royal Electrical
:19:11. > :19:18.and Mechanical Engineers and today it was the turn of the nine Theatre
:19:19. > :19:22.Logistic Regiment in Malmesbury These are the men and women who are
:19:23. > :19:26.actually in charge of making sure all the kit and supplies come home `
:19:27. > :19:30.no easy job, as Laura Lyon has been finding out.
:19:31. > :19:34.It's the long road back from Afghanistan. As British forces scale
:19:35. > :19:38.back their presence in the country, soldiers from the West have been
:19:39. > :19:45.involved in the huge operation to bring equipment to the UK. Nine
:19:46. > :19:48.Theatre Logistic Regiment paraded through Malmesbury this lunchtime to
:19:49. > :19:55.celebrate their return from a six` month tour based in Camp Bastion.
:19:56. > :19:59.The regiment has been working as part of the Larger Theatre Logistics
:20:00. > :20:03.group in Afghanistan. Now, they ve am working to bring back all the kit
:20:04. > :20:06.the UK forces have been using in Afghanistan. It's been described as
:20:07. > :20:12.the biggest logistical enterprise since the Second World War. British
:20:13. > :20:14.Troops were once based in over 30 locations across Afghanistan, so
:20:15. > :20:17.salvaging everything down to these brass ammunition casings, which will
:20:18. > :20:27.be resold in Britain, is of vital importance. Everything has to be
:20:28. > :20:31.checked so no bugs or infections will be brought back to the UK. Some
:20:32. > :20:33.really important equipment, vehicles, communications equipment,
:20:34. > :20:36.surveillance systems, weapons, all of that will be brought back the
:20:37. > :20:40.United Kingdom, and we need to make sure that we account for it
:20:41. > :20:43.properly, that we prepare it, clean it, that we have the correct
:20:44. > :20:51.paperwork, and are prepared for any future training or operations.
:20:52. > :20:59.Recognition back here of their hard work is an added bonus for many of
:21:00. > :21:03.the troops. I think it's really overwhelming to look around and see
:21:04. > :21:07.how many people have taken time out of their day to stand and watch what
:21:08. > :21:10.we're doing and take an interest, really. It's sort of like the end.
:21:11. > :21:16.You've done the job, got the medal, that's that chapter done now. And
:21:17. > :21:18.for the soldiers, their families and friends, the formalities mark the
:21:19. > :21:32.beginning of a two`month break to spend time together. And a very warm
:21:33. > :21:33.welcome home. Now, a question for you.
:21:34. > :21:37.What's the worst thing that's happened to you while you've been
:21:38. > :21:41.away? Maybe you forgot to stop the milk or lock the garage? Or someone
:21:42. > :21:45.forgot to feed the cat? Now we need to make it clear that the Manager of
:21:46. > :21:49.Chippenham Town Football Club was given permission to go on holiday `
:21:50. > :21:51.but the score line in his absence couldn't have been any worse. Here's
:21:52. > :21:56.Tracey Miller. He's the manager who was told he
:21:57. > :22:00.could go away, and now he has been asked not to come back. While Steve
:22:01. > :22:04.Winter was in Egypt, his chairman was in the stands. While Steve was
:22:05. > :22:10.relaxing, his team was falling apart. From our point of view, the
:22:11. > :22:15.match fell down when we lost two players in the first 15 minutes It
:22:16. > :22:19.just felt that some of the guys had lost their spirit, and heads were
:22:20. > :22:23.done. We should have had everyone back behind the goal, and that
:22:24. > :22:28.wasn't happening. The goalkeeper was left vulnerable. Against the team as
:22:29. > :22:36.good as Stourbridge, who are going to stuff, and deeply intimate and
:22:37. > :22:43.made us pay. The results, Chippenham Town ` zero, Stourbridge, nine. When
:22:44. > :22:50.I read the papers, I thought, no, it will be a pub team or something like
:22:51. > :22:54.that. 9`0, that is incredible. And then when I saw the manager was
:22:55. > :23:00.away, I don't think they should have sacked him, really, it was when he
:23:01. > :23:05.is the they don't lose 9`0! Maybe it was because he was on holiday!
:23:06. > :23:10.Disappointing. We should have done much better. Yeah, obviously teams
:23:11. > :23:17.have bad days, but no one should ever lose 9`0. But Chippenham Town
:23:18. > :23:23.dead, and it has cost the manager his job. I contacted Steve Winter,
:23:24. > :23:28.he is still on holiday. I wanted to see if he had any comments what has
:23:29. > :23:34.happened, but understandably, he said, no thanks. Now the chairman
:23:35. > :23:37.and the team are looking for their third manager this season. The next
:23:38. > :23:44.game is on Saturday, are we to Bognor Regis. `` are we to Bognor
:23:45. > :23:47.Regis. Children in Need is now just over
:23:48. > :23:51.two weeks away. As you can see, Pudsey is already flying in, ready
:23:52. > :23:54.for action. Friday November the 15th is the date for your diary, so
:23:55. > :23:58.there's still plenty of time to think about all those fundraising
:23:59. > :24:01.ideas. On the night, Alex and I will be at one of the West's most
:24:02. > :24:06.historic and beautiful locations. Here's The Great British Bake Off's
:24:07. > :24:10.Mary Berry with more. Children in Need is coming to the
:24:11. > :24:15.Roman baths in Bath, which is my home town. If you're thinking about
:24:16. > :24:21.raising money for children in need, why don't you have a bake sale? You
:24:22. > :24:26.needn't be A* baker, and it won t matter if there are soggy bottoms.
:24:27. > :24:33.Pudsey won't mind. Just raise money by having a bake sale, and all that
:24:34. > :24:36.money will go to Children in Need. There's still time to get your
:24:37. > :24:48.fundraising pack. Head to the website for details. Please do let
:24:49. > :24:50.us know what you're up to. Let's take a look at the weather. What has
:24:51. > :24:58.it been like today? take a look at the weather. What has
:24:59. > :25:01.it been It's been dry and then wet, at least do the course of the
:25:02. > :25:05.evening, and it will continue to be the case as we run through tonight
:25:06. > :25:08.and tomorrow. Rhodri similar, albeit that some of you will see more of in
:25:09. > :25:16.others will stop it certainly won't be homogenous. For the broader
:25:17. > :25:19.outlook, we could summarise it is generally extensively cloudy with
:25:20. > :25:25.patchy rain for some, but to particularly in the south, more
:25:26. > :25:30.persistent rain. The broader look at things is showing this very
:25:31. > :25:35.fragmented affair of showery rain cost the West Country, and it will
:25:36. > :25:38.be more of that as we head through tonight. Tomorrow, despite some
:25:39. > :25:44.drier phases, who will always be some light rain in the central slice
:25:45. > :25:54.of the West Country, but towards the south, the threat of somewhat
:25:55. > :25:56.heavier rain. At the moment, we have some showery outbreaks of rain
:25:57. > :26:00.across South Gloucestershire and elsewhere, with dire slots
:26:01. > :26:04.elsewhere, this oscillation of wet and dry going through the night
:26:05. > :26:09.with always some cloud. Temperatures will be much of a likeness, about
:26:10. > :26:16.seven Celsius or eight Celsius. Tomorrow, we start with we left off
:26:17. > :26:20.the evening tonight. Dry for the first part of the morning, but then
:26:21. > :26:25.the reintroduction of rain, and there will be a sandwich, if you
:26:26. > :26:30.like, of heavy rain in the South where we have Met Office yellow
:26:31. > :26:35.warning from the day, and further north, some heavier rain up towards
:26:36. > :26:42.parts of Wales, and the likes of Bristol, the rain will be
:26:43. > :26:49.intermittent. Temperatures tomorrow again much of a likeness wherever
:26:50. > :26:55.you are, not much more than a creep is `` than the degree's difference.
:26:56. > :27:02.A later start to Saturday, with some fog, which will bring in some windy
:27:03. > :27:07.and wet weather through the course of the afternoon, and through the
:27:08. > :27:10.evening on Saturday, it will remain a decidedly windy story with some
:27:11. > :27:18.significant swirls up through the Bristol Channel. Some big waves
:27:19. > :27:25.unsure. You have to bear this in mind for Saturday evening for
:27:26. > :27:27.fireworks displays. There you can see there will be more heavier rain
:27:28. > :27:31.on Sunday into Monday. You're quite right.
:27:32. > :27:34.Worth keeping in mind. If you switch over to BBC Two now, there's more
:27:35. > :27:40.with Mary Berry on the Great British Bake Off Masterclass at seven. I saw
:27:41. > :27:42.a bit of that last night. It was really good. We'll be back at 1 pm.
:27:43. > :28:26.Goodbye. Planet Earth - it's unique.
:28:27. > :28:30.It has life. To understand why, we're going to
:28:31. > :28:37.build a planet...up there.
