:00:00. > :00:14.from the west That is

:00:15. > :00:27.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. The headlines: Cuts in

:00:28. > :00:30.youth services. Britain's top judges rule that one

:00:31. > :00:33.council acted unlawfully ` but it's too late for the children because

:00:34. > :00:35.the services have already been scrapped. We didn't get what we

:00:36. > :00:38.wanted but maybe now the council will realise what they've done.

:00:39. > :00:41.Inside a courtroom in Indonesia ` the former police worker from

:00:49. > :00:49.And the galaxy at your feet ` auditions in Bristol this weekend

:00:50. > :01:01.for the next Star Wars blockbuster. Good evening. A court has ruled that

:01:02. > :01:05.North Somerset Council acted illegally when it cut youth

:01:06. > :01:08.services. Judges at the Court of Appeal say the council failed to

:01:09. > :01:12.adequately consult young people when they voted through the cuts last

:01:13. > :01:16.year. However, North Somerset will not have to reverse the changes `

:01:17. > :01:25.though it could face an expensive legal bill. Our political editor

:01:26. > :01:28.Paul Barltrop reports. Two years since the grim news about

:01:29. > :01:35.youth services, some good news for Aaron Hunt and his mother Alison.

:01:36. > :01:38.I'm so proud of you. You've won the case. Aaron is 22 and has learning

:01:39. > :01:42.difficulties. The court challenge was brought in his name, funded by

:01:43. > :01:50.legal aid. Today they learnt that they'd won ` in principle. The

:01:51. > :01:54.positive thing, I hope, that comes out of this is that the council will

:01:55. > :01:57.realise what they've done wrong and that when something happens like

:01:58. > :02:02.this again, they will sit down and talk to people and not go in head

:02:03. > :02:06.first. But the decision won't be reversed because too much time has

:02:07. > :02:08.passed. There were passionate protests early last year when North

:02:09. > :02:14.Somerset councillors voted through 70% cuts. It was the end of a

:02:15. > :02:19.dedicated youth service. Most centres, like this in Portishead,

:02:20. > :02:25.are still running. Others, including many volunteers, stepped in to help.

:02:26. > :02:28.The council reckon some are more popular now. North Somerset are

:02:29. > :02:35.relieved the cuts stand ` especially as they prepare to make other

:02:36. > :02:39.spending cuts. We are disappointed with this result but having said

:02:40. > :02:43.that, in the meantime, this process has taken so long that the courts

:02:44. > :02:48.recognise we can't go back and review that budget from nearly two

:02:49. > :02:53.Is a go and in the meantime, actually, more young people are

:02:54. > :02:56.using the sort of activities that were provided by the youth service

:02:57. > :03:01.before we made the changes. Aaron now attends a different youth club `

:03:02. > :03:05.though he says it's not the same. You miss all your friends, don't

:03:06. > :03:09.you? Yeah, we don't go out on trips. For him the case was just about

:03:10. > :03:15.being treated fairly. For councils making cuts, it goes much further.

:03:16. > :03:21.Paul is joining us now to discuss this. It's a victory for those who

:03:22. > :03:26.brought this action at the cuts can't be reversed so does that mean

:03:27. > :03:29.it was a waste of money? It isn t going to make any difference

:03:30. > :03:32.whatsoever on the ground but lawyers I spoke to say it is important in

:03:33. > :03:42.terms of good governance. The council learned they have to consult

:03:43. > :03:45.properly in future and they have to be looking into equalities

:03:46. > :03:50.legislation. The council are going to be looking at a big bill. This

:03:51. > :03:54.was a judicial review and we're seeing more of those, aren't we

:03:55. > :04:00.This was raised as being a concern by an MP today. They are widely used

:04:01. > :04:03.to chant a political decisions of the modern era. Think back to

:04:04. > :04:08.Gloucestershire and Somerset trying to cut libraries being funded. That

:04:09. > :04:11.was stopped in the courts. And Bristol Rovers want to move out of

:04:12. > :04:15.their stadium and set up a new one to sell up the old site to a

:04:16. > :04:19.supermarket. That is being challenged by local residents who

:04:20. > :04:21.want to go to court. It was raised today by Charlotte Leslie, the

:04:22. > :04:31.Bristol North MP, at Prime Minister's Questions. She said these

:04:32. > :04:35.legal processes are being overused. In Bristol a small, unrepresentative

:04:36. > :04:40.group I using judicial review, costing the taxpayer thousands,

:04:41. > :04:44.preventing building a badly needed stadium for Bristol Rovers football

:04:45. > :04:50.club, which Bristolians badly want and which will bring game changing

:04:51. > :04:53.benefits to our city. I know my honourable friend has been

:04:54. > :04:56.campaigning very hard and relentlessly to provide Bristol

:04:57. > :05:00.Rovers with the ground they need and I commend her for that. There has

:05:01. > :05:05.been an issue with judicial reviews and these play a role in holding

:05:06. > :05:07.government to account but I share her frustration that judicial review

:05:08. > :05:12.has become something of an industry and we need to fix that. We've taken

:05:13. > :05:17.a series of steps to try to do that. Is clear there is anger and

:05:18. > :05:23.frustration because they are democratically arrested

:05:24. > :05:26.representatives `` elected. But it's not just the cost to the councils

:05:27. > :05:31.but to taxpayers who foot the bill for the courts and for legal aid. A

:05:32. > :05:35.lot of challenges are brought using that mechanism. The politicians have

:05:36. > :05:39.to abide by the laws of the land. These are the checks and balances we

:05:40. > :05:41.have and they are the ones who write the laws of the land. Thank you very

:05:42. > :05:45.much. Jobs are to be lost at the BAE site

:05:46. > :05:48.in Filton, as part of restructuring within the firm across the UK. The

:05:49. > :06:02.redundancies at the plant in South Gloucestershire are among 835 that

:06:03. > :06:05.will go in Glasgow and Rosyth. The trial of a Gloucestershire woman

:06:06. > :06:07.accused of smuggling drugs into Indonesia has continued this

:06:08. > :06:10.morning. Andrea Waldeck, who worked as a police community support

:06:11. > :06:13.officer in the Up Hatherley area until last year, is accused of

:06:14. > :06:16.bringing thousands of pounds' worth of crystal meth into the country.

:06:17. > :06:19.Andrew Plant reports. These pictures were taken in October

:06:20. > :06:25.and show Andrea Waldeck during one of several appearances inside an

:06:26. > :06:32.Indonesian court. Her full trial is likely to start next month. She

:06:33. > :06:35.could face death by firing squad. She's currently in custody here `

:06:36. > :06:42.Surabaya, Indonesia's second largest city after the capital Jakarta.

:06:43. > :06:44.Andrea Waldeck is well known in the Up Hatherley area of

:06:45. > :06:49.Gloucestershire. These pictures show her in her job as a PCSO. Here,

:06:50. > :06:52.people told me she was a lively member of the local community,

:06:53. > :07:02.working hard to help this youth centre to open in the area. But she

:07:03. > :07:05.left her job with Gloucestershire Police last year. It's thought she

:07:06. > :07:09.travelled to Asia. And then ` earlier this year ` a sudden shock

:07:10. > :07:12.for all who knew her. In the headlines, under arrest ` and

:07:13. > :07:15.accused of smuggling drugs in a country known to give the death

:07:16. > :07:18.penalty to convicted offenders. Prosecutors say she was arrested in

:07:19. > :07:22.a local hotel, found with 1.4 kilograms of crystal meth ` a highly

:07:23. > :07:31.addictive class A drug ` allegedly in her underwear and strapped to her

:07:32. > :07:35.body. Next week she will get a chance to answer questions from the

:07:36. > :07:37.judges. She is expected to admit that she smuggled the drugs into the

:07:38. > :07:43.country but she will try to argue that she was forced to do it, that

:07:44. > :07:45.it was not for money and not by her own intention. Earlier this year,

:07:46. > :07:48.another Gloucestershire woman, Lindsay Sandiford, was given the

:07:49. > :07:51.death penalty for drug smuggling ` a harsher sentence than even the

:07:52. > :07:54.prosecutors had asked for. An example of how the Indonesian court

:07:55. > :07:58.system can use those on trial to send a warning to smugglers and

:07:59. > :08:01.traffickers alike. What happened to Andrea Waldeck in the 15 or so

:08:02. > :08:06.months between working for the police and being accused of

:08:07. > :08:17.smuggling drugs Is still unclear. She's due back in court next

:08:18. > :08:22.Wednesday. You're watching your regional news

:08:23. > :08:28.programme, BBC Points West. Stay with us as there is much more to

:08:29. > :08:33.bring you, including: A commuter challenge ` find out which of these

:08:34. > :08:36.three won the fight to get into Bristol first.

:08:37. > :08:40.And find out why a West Country man's love of me all is started an

:08:41. > :08:50.international debate about words in America. `` love of meatballs.

:08:51. > :08:54.That's all to come and Alex and I are getting into Star Wars mode very

:08:55. > :08:57.shortly, to! The BBC has learned that some

:08:58. > :09:01.ambulances are to restart taking patients to Cheltenham General

:09:02. > :09:05.Hospital overnight. The casualty unit was downgraded in July because

:09:06. > :09:08.of a shortage of doctors, with evening emergencies diverted to the

:09:09. > :09:12.Gloucester Royal Hospital. Campaigners hope this will now lead

:09:13. > :09:17.to a full service coming back to the town.

:09:18. > :09:21.Because of a national shortage of A doctors, Cheltenham decided to

:09:22. > :09:26.move all accident admissions over to Gloucester overnight. Bosses said

:09:27. > :09:32.there was no option but from Monday, there will be a change. What we are

:09:33. > :09:34.going to do is introduce a new protocol, whereby some ambulances

:09:35. > :09:39.picking up patients in the Cheltenham area can come directly

:09:40. > :09:43.into our acute admissions unit. The reason we're doing it is simply that

:09:44. > :09:48.we have facilities in our acute apparitions unit that we can use for

:09:49. > :09:52.these patients. It's the stable patients we are really looking at

:09:53. > :09:56.here, so therefore, following the principle that we like to treat

:09:57. > :10:01.people locally wherever possible, we can do it so that's why rigid using

:10:02. > :10:07.it. `` that's why we're introducing it. Some see today's news as hope

:10:08. > :10:11.for the future. I'm delighted to hear it, if this is the first step

:10:12. > :10:16.on the road to common sense prevailing. I'm very pleased

:10:17. > :10:23.because, in fact, it does affect some 200,000 resident. But with

:10:24. > :10:29.recruitment still a problem, is there real cause for optimism? It's

:10:30. > :10:31.very clear that the trust was much weaker at recruiting emergency

:10:32. > :10:36.doctors than neighbouring trust and that was the excuse for downgrading

:10:37. > :10:39.services in the first place. Now they've had to make a partial

:10:40. > :10:44.U`turn, they ought to reconsider the whole plan and look again at their

:10:45. > :10:48.recruitment in particular, and see if we can't restore the full service

:10:49. > :10:51.at Cheltenham. The NHS says this new service will increase pressure in

:10:52. > :10:56.Gloucester but it was always planned, and that the changes to

:10:57. > :10:58.override admissions since the summer have made a positive difference to

:10:59. > :11:02.patient care. An inquest in Somerset has heard how

:11:03. > :11:05.a woman died two weeks after an operation to replace her elbow.

:11:06. > :11:07.Valerie Roy, who was 69, developed severe breathing difficulties after

:11:08. > :11:11.the operation at Yeovil Hospital, She then picked up an infection and

:11:12. > :11:16.pneumonia and died of multiple organ failure. Two consultants told the

:11:17. > :11:23.inquest Mrs Roy had been warned she was at high risk because she had a

:11:24. > :11:26.heart condition. Three high`profile men turned their

:11:27. > :11:30.daily commute into an experiment this morning ` to work out whether a

:11:31. > :11:35.car, a bus or a bike could offer the quickest journey into Bristol city

:11:36. > :11:40.centre. Each set off at 7.30am from Yate, and ` in case you're wondering

:11:41. > :11:45.` it was the bus which came in last, taking an hour and a half. Sally

:11:46. > :11:49.Challoner reports. Three men, three modes of transport.

:11:50. > :11:53.Ian Boulton, chair of South Gloucestershire Council, on a bike

:11:54. > :12:05.and train. John Darvall from BBC Radio Bristol in a car. And Bristol

:12:06. > :12:09.mayor George Ferguson on the bus. Identix bet to win but I do expect

:12:10. > :12:11.to be more relaxed than the others when I arrive. `` I don't expect to

:12:12. > :12:15.win. While it was fun, the challenge also

:12:16. > :12:18.had a serious side. According to the City Council, traffic congestion

:12:19. > :12:20.costs the greater Bristol economy ?350 million a year, and pollution

:12:21. > :12:23.levels currently exceed European limits.

:12:24. > :12:27.So how did our commuters do, on a rainy November morning? Ian Boulton

:12:28. > :12:35.` journey time 50 minutes, cost ?2.70. John Darvall ` one hour 0

:12:36. > :12:45.minutes, average cost ?10. George Ferguson ` one and a half hours

:12:46. > :12:50.cost ?6 one way. I genuinely enjoy the journey coming in, even though

:12:51. > :12:53.the weather wasn't ideal. It was absolutely fine and having the

:12:54. > :12:58.benefit this time of the electronic bike made sure there was very little

:12:59. > :13:03.effort involved. I got here Bang on 9am, which was the target. I was

:13:04. > :13:08.expecting to come last in terms of time but I was expecting to come

:13:09. > :13:14.first in terms of mood. I think we are certainly both a lot less

:13:15. > :13:20.stressed than John was. It's been stressful, it's been eight miles of

:13:21. > :13:23.horrid, solid traffic in a car. And we've been overtaken by cyclists,

:13:24. > :13:28.including cyclists not wearing light. I'm now going into the studio

:13:29. > :13:31.to prepare for my show. See you later. All the Greater Bristol

:13:32. > :13:35.authorities are working together on transport ` and millions of pounds

:13:36. > :13:38.have already been spent. But with a 90`minute commute for some, the

:13:39. > :13:44.light at the end of the tunnel seems as far away as ever.

:13:45. > :13:49.And if you're wondering about Pudsey in a buggy, it was part of the Radio

:13:50. > :13:52.Bristol challenge. Well, the contest was a bit of fun but it demonstrated

:13:53. > :13:56.the seriousness of Bristol's transport problems. So how's he

:13:57. > :14:03.going to crack them? Joining us now from Bristol city centre is Mayor

:14:04. > :14:08.Ferguson. This city is covered in bus lanes,

:14:09. > :14:14.yet it still took you one and a half hours to get from Yate. Yes and it

:14:15. > :14:19.will always do so until we sort out the traffic problem. We are very

:14:20. > :14:24.congested city. We are prosperous city and with that come some

:14:25. > :14:27.disadvantages. That is why I'm prepared to take some tough

:14:28. > :14:34.measures. They may be unpopular but they are necessary. Like restricting

:14:35. > :14:38.the amount of commuter car parking that can take place in the central

:14:39. > :14:42.residential areas. I've been criticised for that but if the whole

:14:43. > :14:46.of the centre of Bristol is regarded as a commuter car part, we will

:14:47. > :14:51.continue to get the levels of traffic that prevent the buses

:14:52. > :14:56.moving as fast as they should because there isn't room for there

:14:57. > :15:02.to be bus lanes everywhere. So I'm paid to do that. But what you're

:15:03. > :15:08.doing, Mr Mayor... You spent an hour and a half on the bus ` that's 5

:15:09. > :15:15.hours a week and ?60 in fares. People just can't afford that. 6

:15:16. > :15:20.for a fare that took me on the bus the whole of the day. That wasn t

:15:21. > :15:24.too bad from Yate and I had the advantage of telling some

:15:25. > :15:27.16`year`olds on the bus that they would save a fiver for the three

:15:28. > :15:33.days they travel to college. They didn't realise that. So there are

:15:34. > :15:37.some real advantages. The deal I've done with the bus company is that

:15:38. > :15:40.you bring the fares down, I will get more people onto your bosses and I

:15:41. > :15:46.think that is the direction of travel we've got go in and I'm

:15:47. > :15:50.encouraging people to share journeys. That will make a huge

:15:51. > :15:54.difference. To think of one day a week to come in by different means,

:15:55. > :16:00.try the buses, try the bikes, try the trains. I was not surprised that

:16:01. > :16:04.I came last but at least I got a lot of work done in the process, even

:16:05. > :16:09.though I was having some delightful conversations on the way and being

:16:10. > :16:14.interviewed at the same time. You don't have to do it five days a

:16:15. > :16:19.week. Well, I wouldn't choose to live that far out of Bristol and

:16:20. > :16:24.work. I know some people have to but I think what you've got to do is

:16:25. > :16:34.make sure that you get the right islands in terms of length of time

:16:35. > :16:45.and lifestyle. I think that not being behind a wheel in a car is a

:16:46. > :16:51.lot less stressful. We have to leave it there. Great hat, by the way

:16:52. > :16:54.It's keeping the rain off! Thank you.

:16:55. > :16:58.A man from Taunton has had his Facebook account suspended because

:16:59. > :17:01.he said how much he liked the West Country delicacy faggots. The word

:17:02. > :17:04.put Facebook's American owners on alert because it's regarded as an

:17:05. > :17:07.offensive term for gay people in the United States. Now the

:17:08. > :17:11.misunderstanding has been cleared up, the account has been

:17:12. > :17:14.re`instated. Zoe Gough reports on two nations divided by the same

:17:15. > :17:18.language. It's a dish that evokes delight or

:17:19. > :17:29.disgust, but is still eaten in huge quantities in the West. We've got

:17:30. > :17:33.pork, liver and pigs heart. I'm going to put this all through the

:17:34. > :17:40.mincer first of all. Start with the pork. This butcher sells up to 00 a

:17:41. > :17:46.week from his shop in Staple Hill. They're great with gravy, mash and

:17:47. > :17:50.peas. That's the traditional way. Great at this time of year, now the

:17:51. > :17:53.weather is getting a bit colder I find them delicious. But this humble

:17:54. > :17:56.meatball has sparked a row after a Taunton man, Robert Wilkes, was

:17:57. > :18:01.banned from Facebook after he commented on a picture of his

:18:02. > :18:07.favourite dish. Today he told me he couldn't believe the reaction. The

:18:08. > :18:11.Mr Brains brand of faggots are perhaps the most famous and were

:18:12. > :18:14.once produced in Kingswood. But over in America, where Facebook is based,

:18:15. > :18:24.the word is an offensive term for a gay man. Back in the UK, what do

:18:25. > :18:29.people think? What do you take to be the meaning of the word fag gets.

:18:30. > :18:41.Can I... ? That's a bit interesting. I would say it was De

:18:42. > :18:44.Robert Lee. `` derogatory. Because I've got lots of gay friends, I know

:18:45. > :18:48.it can be used as a joke or is offensive. That's a bit odd as

:18:49. > :18:54.Facebook allowed a video of someone being beheaded. It all seems to

:18:55. > :18:58.depend on whether you were brought up eating this West Country

:18:59. > :19:01.delicacy. I haven't tried them for many years but I'm going to give

:19:02. > :19:17.them a go. But should I have them with tomato sauce or even some jelly

:19:18. > :19:20.for dessert? Bristol City have climbed out of the

:19:21. > :19:23.relegation zone after winning their first home league game in eight

:19:24. > :19:27.months. A defensive error by Crawley allowed top goal scorer Jay`Emmanuel

:19:28. > :19:31.Thomas to give City the lead with just ten minutes left in the match.

:19:32. > :19:35.He then laid on the pass for Joe Bryan, who finally give the Ashton

:19:36. > :19:39.Gate crowd something to cheer about. The home games of a football club in

:19:40. > :19:42.the Forest of Dean are in doubt tonight, after their pitch was torn

:19:43. > :19:46.up by wild boars. Soudley Football Club say they can't use the ground

:19:47. > :19:50.until the damage is fixed ` which could take some time. Tracey Miller

:19:51. > :19:56.reports. A pitch invasion that has caused

:19:57. > :20:03.hundreds of pounds of damage. And this is the result. When you walk

:20:04. > :20:07.through, you're faced with that I thought, blimey! Where do we go from

:20:08. > :20:11.here? The culprits are the wild boar that live in and roam the Forest of

:20:12. > :20:14.Dean. They've managed to break though the fences surrounding the

:20:15. > :20:17.ground. This week the Saturday game will be off. We have spoken to the

:20:18. > :20:23.groundsman, who said possibly a month, but it could be up until

:20:24. > :20:29.Christmas. As they try to repair the damage, how difficult is it to keep

:20:30. > :20:36.these pigs out? She can lift me off my feet with her snout. Very

:20:37. > :20:40.powerful. Despite their size, the owner of the animals and say there

:20:41. > :20:43.is a simple solution. Lots of the problems that we have in the forest

:20:44. > :20:52.could be sold by using a very simple electric fence, costing probably

:20:53. > :20:55.less than 100 quid. It's not the first time the boars have caused

:20:56. > :20:58.damage. The Forestry Commission are responsible for the animals in the

:20:59. > :21:02.Forest of Dean. They're trying to reduce their numbers with a cull,

:21:03. > :21:06.but that will leave at least 40 to roam. The only real option for the

:21:07. > :21:09.club is to improve its fences. When you look closely, you can see prints

:21:10. > :21:12.all over the soil here and what they've done is lifted all this turn

:21:13. > :21:20.of using their snouts, looking for worms. All this damage could have

:21:21. > :21:24.been caused by just a you bore `` just a few pigs and there is every

:21:25. > :21:31.chance they could be coming back again tonight.

:21:32. > :21:36.How do you like our new look? A new Star Wars film is to be made `

:21:37. > :21:39.and one of the stars could be found in Bristol. Of course, Bristolian

:21:40. > :21:42.Dave Prowse was the original Darth Vader. Yes, today it was announced

:21:43. > :21:46.that the city will be first place in the country to hold open auditions

:21:47. > :21:49.for two of the film's leading actors. Do you think I've got a

:21:50. > :22:08.chance? The Star Wars movies started in 1977

:22:09. > :22:16.` and since then devoted fans have celebrated every word, action and

:22:17. > :22:19.movement. Unbelievably, the first Star Wars film came out 36 years ago

:22:20. > :22:25.and the merchandise is still popular. Disney hope that the new

:22:26. > :22:33.film will appeal to a whole new generation of fans and the new stars

:22:34. > :22:36.could it down right here in Bristol. Of course Bristol has already

:22:37. > :22:39.provided one star ` Dave Prowse from Southmead, who played Darth Vader.

:22:40. > :22:42.And every year the city attracts die`hard fans of the film to its

:22:43. > :22:47.sci`fi and fantasy convention. So what do they think of the auditions

:22:48. > :22:53.being held in Bristol? I would be the third monkey standing at the act

:22:54. > :22:57.in a mask if I knew I was in it The auditions are being held not in a

:22:58. > :23:02.galaxy far, far away but at a harbour`side very near. They're

:23:03. > :23:08.looking for a beautiful young woman, minimum age 16 ` that's me out ` and

:23:09. > :23:13.for a handsome young man who has to be at least 18. Sorry, Andrew the

:23:14. > :23:17.cameraman, you're out to. The queues will be huge! But what lines can the

:23:18. > :23:22.potential talent say at their audition? There are certainly plenty

:23:23. > :23:27.of favourites to choose from. Luke skywalker says he'll give something

:23:28. > :23:34.a try and Yoda says, do or do not. There is no try. The bit where Hans

:23:35. > :23:41.Solo is going into the car and Princess Leia says she loves them

:23:42. > :23:47.and he says, I know. My favourite lines are the ones you hear as R2`D2

:23:48. > :23:57.is fried. I'm 27. Aren't you a bit big for this? Never!

:23:58. > :24:04.We are like the kings of quick`change! How did we do that?

:24:05. > :24:08.Our thanks to Phil and Colin, who just sat in for us and very well.

:24:09. > :24:12.Well we all know that Ian knows everything about the weather, but

:24:13. > :24:15.what many of you may not know is that Ian is also a shark expert

:24:16. > :24:19.He's been on an offshore shark`tagging expedition with

:24:20. > :24:23.Miranda from The One Show. The team travelled to an area 30 miles from

:24:24. > :24:27.shore and to water over 100 metres deep in search of blue sharks. You

:24:28. > :24:38.can see how they got on straight after Points West on BBC One. We're

:24:39. > :24:40.really looking forward to it. But before that he is Ian with his day

:24:41. > :24:48.job, and the weather. Many of you are seeing a wet spell

:24:49. > :24:56.developing but some have fared quite well with temperatures not far off

:24:57. > :25:00.17. But rain will spill down towards the south. Tomorrow it will fairly

:25:01. > :25:05.quickly clear away and then it will be a much improved day. A good deal

:25:06. > :25:08.of sunshine around but there will be some showers in the West,

:25:09. > :25:12.particularly around the Bristol Channel. The rainfall radar has been

:25:13. > :25:17.showing how this front has been taking the heat of that up into

:25:18. > :25:20.parts of the Midlands. The back edge is starting to swing back south

:25:21. > :25:25.eastwards into the middle of the night. We will start to get these

:25:26. > :25:30.outbreaks of rain progressively further down towards the south, some

:25:31. > :25:34.moderately heavy. You can see the peak of the wave their on its way

:25:35. > :25:37.down south eastwards. It will be quickly out of the way tomorrow

:25:38. > :25:43.morning, as will much of the cloud. A much brighter day. For the rest of

:25:44. > :25:47.this evening, if you haven't seen rain already to any great degree you

:25:48. > :25:54.eventually will do, albeit some of it will be intermittent and light.

:25:55. > :26:00.Give it until about seven o'clock and it is out of the way. Just a

:26:01. > :26:03.hang back of cloud following behind but already starting to develop into

:26:04. > :26:07.a much brighter morning across the Forest of Dean. Temperatures tonight

:26:08. > :26:18.will be at their chilly is the further north you are. `` chilly

:26:19. > :26:22.yesterday. A good deal of sunshine for many. The cloud will tend to

:26:23. > :26:30.increase in terms of showers through the Bristol Channel. Many of you

:26:31. > :26:41.will have more than a fighting chance of seeing a dry day right the

:26:42. > :26:49.way through. It won't be as windy to as today so we will have gusts of

:26:50. > :26:54.wind of around 20 mph. Pleasant enough in the sunshine. Looking

:26:55. > :26:59.beyond that, after a showery day on Friday, a similar picture for

:27:00. > :27:04.Saturday. Barely blustery on Sunday. `` fairly mastery.

:27:05. > :27:09.Before we go, just to let you know about something coming up in

:27:10. > :27:12.tomorrow's programme. We'll be at Bath Abbey to see Prince Edward

:27:13. > :27:15.being installed as the new Chancellor of the University of

:27:16. > :27:19.Bath. His Royal Highness is not the first famous person to have been a

:27:20. > :27:22.Chancellor here in the West. Take a look at this! This amazing footage

:27:23. > :27:25.is of Winston Churchill arriving at Temple Meads in 1929, about to be

:27:26. > :27:28.installed as Chancellor of Bristol University. And this is the

:27:29. > :27:31.wonderful moment when he's carried shoulder high from the ceremony by

:27:32. > :27:36.the students. Not sure that will happen tomorrow ` but you never

:27:37. > :27:40.know! And if you want to watch this again, there's a link on our

:27:41. > :27:45.Facebook page. I'll be back with a quick update at

:27:46. > :27:48.8pm and Ian is on after this! See you tomorrow.
