transformation of the NHS in England. That | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight: | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
1000 farms under lock`down. More farmers than ever are stopped from | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
selling cattle as the scourge of TB goes on. I don't know which one of | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
these poor things as a death sentence next. | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
The man accused of causing the M5 crash ` the court hears he did fill | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
in health and safety forms. The only toilet in town ` shock as | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Bristol closes all but one of its public loos. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
And he's got the entire galaxy to explore ` so how come generations of | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Doctor Who keep coming to the West? First tonight, there are movement | :00:46. | :00:59. | |
restrictions on more farms in the West than ever before because of the | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
spread of bovine TB. Nearly 1000 farms here are unable to | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
move livestock or sell cattle at market because they've been | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
effectively shut down by Government inspectors. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
For an increasing amount of farmers, it means months of stress and | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
uncertainty. Here's Andrew Plant. 12 months ago, just as dawn was | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
breaking over this Dorset dairy farm, this lorry had come at night | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
to take away cattle suspected of having TB. It's one of those things. | :01:22. | :01:41. | |
12 months on and that same farm is back in business, free to move its | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
meat and its milk. The cows I have lost were in their prime. It is | :01:49. | :02:02. | |
always the best one that he'll lose. After having movement restricted for | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
the whole of last winter, they have been free to move cattle in a | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
six`month test which will start on Monday. Then they face the | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
possibility of having movement restricted again. Restricted farms | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
are increasingly common. In the past five years, across the whole of the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
West of the UK, the amount of restricted herds has increased by | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
more than 50%. Gloucestershire has stayed roughly the same from 22 to | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
264 farms. But in Somerset the amount of TB restricted farms has | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
almost doubled, from 165 to 314 And in Wiltshire there's a very similar | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
picture. Up from 115 farms to 2 2. Rupert Dyke doesn't buy in any cows, | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
he breeds his own and says if he isn't bringing TB in then something | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
else is. He blames the badgers that live in the setts that border his | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
land. A pilot cull of badgers in Somerset has just finished. One in | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
Gloucestershire is still underway. How effective they will be in | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
reducing TB is unclear. Meanwhile, more farms than ever before are | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
facing the financial uncertaintyand stress of TB shut`down. | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
The legal team representing the man accused of causing a pile`up on the | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
M5 in Somerset which killed seven people have said the case against | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
him simply does not stack up. Geoffrey Counsell denies failing to | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
ensure public safety at a firework display. Clinton Rogers has been at | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Bristol Crown Court today and joins us now live from Taunton Rugby Club | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
where the fireworks display was held almost two years ago. What have his | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
defence team been saying? The QC opening the case for the defence | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
told the jury something about his client. 51 years old, Geoffrey | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
Counsell, an HGV lorry driver. Not a man to take risks. He had also | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
organised many fireworks displays in the past with no problems. They | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
discuss the events on the night at Taunton Rugby Club. He said there | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
was a lot of fog. He said he would dispute that prosecution's case that | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
smoke from the fireworks mixed with that fog and caused the accident. He | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
said he would call witnesses who will say they did not see any smoke | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
across the motorway. He said even if this small was created, that was an | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
precedent it in centuries of fireworks displays being held. It | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
had never happened before so how good Geoffrey Counsell have | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
predicted it? I gather the prosecution had more to | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
say this morning. They came to the end of their opening and criticised | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Geoffrey Counsell preparedness or lack of it in their eyes. They said | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
he had not properly assessed the situation. The defence could he | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
possibly have predicted it. Both sides were locked in dispute. | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
What happens next? This will be a six`week trial but tomorrow the jury | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
will be brought here to Taunton Rugby Club so they can see where the | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
fireworks display was held and where this ground is in relation to the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
motorway, which runs behind the building behind me. They will get an | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
idea of the proximity of the motorway to where the fireworks | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
were. A man has been arrested in | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
connection with the death of a cyclist in Bath. Jake Gilmour was | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
cycling home from work on Saturday night. He died later in hospital. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Police found a car abandoned near Royal Victoria Park last night and | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
have arrested a 52`year`old man from Bath on suspicion of causing death | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
by dangerous driving. Police in Wiltshire are | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
investigating how a serious fight broke out following a football match | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
at a school for children with special needs and behavioural | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
problems. One pupil was taken to hospital | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
students and staff were left shaken and a number of cars were damaged | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
following the game at St Luke's School in Swindon. Fiona Lamdin | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
reports. This is where the home side won St | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Luke's in Swindon were hosting local rivals Knowle DGE from Bristol. Both | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
are specalist schools for children with emotional and behavioural | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
problems. No one from the school could speak to us today at the | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Borough council told us that as the visitors from rest all were leaving | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
in their minibus, they grabbed stones and bricks from the car park | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
and started throwing them at the pupils and staff. The police and | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
ambulance were called and one pupil was taken to hospital with facial | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
injuries. Steven Gregory has lived here for 23 years. He heard it all. | :07:16. | :07:25. | |
All I saw yesterday was the police. I heard a lot of noise and I woke up | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
the window and all I could see was the police car going in and the | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
ambulance, which happens quite often. Tonight, as police continue | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
to investigate exactly what went on yesterday, they're keen to stress | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
fights like this are extremely rare. Well, you're watching Points West on | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
this chilly Tuesday evening with David and Alex. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
And we've plenty more to bring you tonight, including the concerns of | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
one man whose life was saved by a drug which may no longer be paid for | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
by the NHS. And we ask this West Country | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
presenter about her new role as the president of the RSPB. | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
There are reports tonight that an important deal to supply India with | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
helicopters from Yeovil will be cancelled tomorrow, amid allegations | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
of bribery. Italian police are investigating the | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
former chief executive of Finnmeccanica, the parent company of | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
AgustaWestland who are making the helicopters in Somerset. Our | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
business correspondent Dave Harvey has more details. | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
It started in the Italian Alps in February ` a polite but determined | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
force of Carabinieri arrested the chief executive of one of Europe's | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
biggest aerospace firms, Finnmeccanica. Giuseppi Orsi faced | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
charges that he transmitted 30 million Euros in order to carry out | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
corrupt activity ` in short, that he bribed Indian defence ministers At | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
stake, an order for 12 helicopters. The AW101, worth ?450 million. For | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Britain, the timing couldn't have been worse. David Cameron was in | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
Delhi on a trade mission, trying to build friendships, boost trade ` | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
instead, he faced this from the Indian PM. I also convey to the | :09:31. | :09:43. | |
Prime Minister are very serious concerns regarding allegations about | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
unethical means used in securing the 2010 contract for AgustaWestland | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
helicopters. AgustaWestland is an excellent company with highly | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
skilled workers who make brilliant helicopters. Also, Britain has in | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
our anti`bribery laws some of the toughest laws of anywhere in the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
world. People know that doing business with British companies get | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
that protection. But there's the rub. Finnmeccanica | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
is an Italian firm. The Somerset subsidiary makes the helicopters, | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
but not the policy. Tonight, AgustaWestland is staying quiet | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
reminding reporters that so far the deal is still on ` until a meeting | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
with Indian Defence Ministers tomorrow. Is it a big deal? Well, I | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
was told today that 12 helicopters is significant, but the Yeovil | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
factory turns out two or three times that every year. India, though, is | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
the world's biggest importer of arms and defence equipment and no`one in | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
the helicopter business would want to lose Delhi as a customer. In | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Yeovil tomorrow it'll be all eyes on India. | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
An inquest has heard how a senior Army officer killed himself, over | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
the summer, after the pressures of life and work became too much. | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
Lieutenant Colonel Robert Shaw, who was based at the Warminster Garrison | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
in Wiltshire, was married with three children and just a few years off | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
retirement when he died this summer. The court heard how a variety of | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
factors had contributed to his death, including financial worries | :11:18. | :11:29. | |
and the stresses of Army life. A Chinese businessman previously | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
convicted of fraudulent trading on the overseas money market could be | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
facing more time behind bars. Bristol Crown Court heard today how | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Anthony Ho paid just ?1000 in income tax on his ?368 million empire. Our | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
home affairs correspondent Steve Brodie has been following the case. | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
Anthony Ho's money bureau in London's China Town, where hundreds | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
of millions of pounds were transferred out of Britain. His | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
worldwide travel service was used by Chinese ex`pats to send money back | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
home. Anthony Ho, who was previously known as Jia Jun, arrived at court | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
to face the beginning of a proceeds of crime hearing which could see him | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
back in jail if he does not meet the court's valuation of his money scam. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Judge Martin Picton listened as the prosecution claimed that the bare | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
minimum in benefit gained by Ho was more than ?5 million and could be as | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
high as ?6.8 million on the business that saw ?368 million transfered | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
overseas. Ho is no stranger to the courts. The businessman, who also | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
operated in Gloucestershire, was convicted in Hong Kong in 2008 for | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
money laundering and was fined ?250,000. Prosecuting, Ray Tulley | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
told the court that Anthony Ho had operated for his own personal gain | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
and had failed to reveal his true financial position to the Inland | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
Revenue to the extent that he never paid more than ?1000 a year in | :12:47. | :12:56. | |
income tax. Ho was jailed for eight months in 2012 when he pleaded | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
guilty to fraudulent trading. At the time he was accused of deliberately | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
lying about his identity, deliberately misrepresenting his | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
position to the authorities and of using company funds as his own. The | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
prosecution also alleged that Ho had a people`smuggling background. The | :13:12. | :13:23. | |
hearing continues. There's been an angry reaction to | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
?90 million of cuts proposed for Bristol. The mayor has set out plans | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
for the next three years to cope with reduced Government funding | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
Libraries, buses and children's centres will all lose out. But the | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
biggest shock has been plans to close all but one of the city's | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
public toilets. Here's our political editor Paul Barltrop. | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
Officially, today was World Toilet Day, but it brought bleak news in | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Bristol. This could soon be the city's only remaining public loo. | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
All 22 others could close to save the council ?500,000. Already taking | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
steps to lobby councillors are campaigners for the elderly. | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
Obviously, they are all pilots affects them. If you have an elderly | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
bladder you need access to a toilet. This is a tourist city and people | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
expect toilets. They point to what happened in Bath, where planned | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
closures sparked a determined protest. They forced a special | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
council debate and got the plans halted for now. But Bristol's mayor | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
thinks this could be the way. In Sea Mills, a former toilet block has | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
been turned into a thriving community cafe, where they're happy | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
for people to pop in to spend a penny. People are welcome to come in | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
and use it. So if we're going to close 22 or 23 then lot of places | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
like this will have to agree to do the same. That's quite a lot. | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
Opposition is also likely to library cuts ` ?1 million coming out of | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
their budget means some could close. Campaigners are preparing their | :14:58. | :15:06. | |
placards. The library is the only university for people who can't | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
afford to go to university. So it is absolutely crucial. I also went to | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
Bristol College. How determined am I? I will go on and I can tell you, | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
only if a lot of people show interest will we win. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
The council stress nothing's set in stone ` it's all up for | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
consultation. And next week the mayor will come face`to`face with | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
his critics when four Question Time events are held around the city The | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
controversy and debate is only just starting. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
A Wiltshire teacher living with a rare kidney syndrome is warning that | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
others may be denied the treatment that helped save his life. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
Matthew Slee from Corsham is one of only around 150 patients in the | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
country with the condition. He was granted a new drug costing ?300 000 | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
a year. But now Government funding for it is | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
in doubt. Here's our health correspondent Matthew Hill. | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Matthew Slee is now back at work teaching after suffering from a | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
life`threatening kidney disorder. He was diagnosed with a rare syndrome | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
which causes blood to clot in the kidney. I was getting bad headaches | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
for a few weeks but it wasn't until it was really severe I went to the | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
GP, who took my blood pressure and sent me to hospital. They told me I | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
had kidney failure. But a new drug called Eculizumab which costs | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
?300,000 a year has transformed his life. Before I took the drug, I was | :16:37. | :16:45. | |
in a bad way. I could barely walk down the road without getting out of | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
breath, tired and nauseous. ?50 million is spent on highly | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
specialised services for patients like Mr Slee with rare diseases | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Last year the Advisory Group for National Specialised Services agreed | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
Eculizumab should be funded. But AGNSS was disbanded in April and the | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
Government has decided the National Institute of Clinical Excellence or | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
NICE will have to re`examine funding for this and all other rare drugs. | :17:11. | :17:25. | |
Some kidney specialists fear in the meantime patients may be denied | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
access to this expensive but effective treatment. I think some | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
patients have been disadvantaged by the fact that conditions have not | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
known how to respond over this particular issue of an expensive | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
drug in the interim. In a statement a Department for Health spokesperson | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
said, we want to make sure patients with rare conditions have access to | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
the latest treatments where clinically appropriate. Patients | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
currently receiving Eculizumab will continue to do so and NHS England | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
will consider any new funding requests until NICE has completed | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
its assessment. But Matthew Slee fears some newly diagnosed patients | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
will be denied the drug that has transformed his life. | :18:03. | :18:14. | |
Bristol Rovers have made the long trip to York tonight for their | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
first`round FA Cup replay. Rovers drew 3`3 in the first match at the | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Memorial Stadium having led 3`2 with just minutes to go. If they win | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
they'll play Crawley at home in the second round on the 7th of December. | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
There's full match commentary on BBC Radio Bristol and BBC Somerset from | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
7pm. The One Show presenter Miranda | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
Krestovnikoff, who's based in North Somerset, has just become the new | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
president of the RSPB. The charity has more than one million members | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
and works to conserve wild birds and the environment. In a moment we ll | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
be asking Miranda what plans she has for the charity, but first let's see | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
a bit of Miranda in action. I play the flute and a little piano. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
A bit like to think I am feeling musical but my talent is nothing | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
compared to our feathered friends. Male birds are musical maestros | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
They sing complex songs to impress females and warned neighbouring | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
males off their patch. Whilst all are impressive, one little bird has | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
a song like no other. The wren is one of the finest songbirds. | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
Thanks for coming in. Why did you decide to take on this role? I got | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
an offer I could not refuse. It is a great opportunity. I have two young | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
children who are enthusiastic about nature and want to spend a lot of | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
time outside. The RSPB won't take help people connect with nature | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
There are so many opportunities For my work in presenting I have the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
opportunity to communicate conservation messages to a wide | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
range of people so it seems a good time to do this. But birds look | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
after themselves, don't they? We need lots of organisations to look | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
after our words and wildlife. Nature is being squeezed into ever smaller | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
spaces as we need more space to live in and habitats are being destroyed. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
The RSPB have got a campaign about giving nature a home. Argy people to | :20:40. | :20:49. | |
put up bird boxes and plant wildlife friendly plants. It is relevant at | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
the moment. It is a beautiful time of year, surrounded by these autumn | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
colours. It is good time for us all to go outside as well. What about | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
the winter message for the birds at this time of year? As it gets colder | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
there is less food out there. You should put food out for them. At | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
lunchtime today, there was a hive of activity. A lot of birds eat insects | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
so we need to encourage them into our garden. We need to leave a | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
little scruffy area at the bottom of the garden for insects. Good luck in | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
your role. You have inspired others. | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
Now, it's a big week for Doctor Who and his fans as we approach the | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
show's special 50th anniversary episode. | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
The Doctor has spent many lifetimes travelling the whole of time and | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
space. But he seems to be rather fond of visiting the West of | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
England. Jules Hyam's been scouring the | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
archives and has dug up some Doctor Who postcards from the past. | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
First, 1972. The third Doctor, John Pertwee and companion Katy Manning | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
on the Dorset Coast, filming for an episode called Sea Devils. Back then | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
the production wasn't anything like as big`budget and slick as the brand | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
has become now but that DIY sci`fi style won Doctor Who millions of | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
fans, who stayed loyal even when the show was off air. Plenty of people | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
wanted Pertwee's autograph years later in 1996. It has got a slightly | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
amateurish quality, the fact you can see fasteners around costumes and | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
you can see people 's feet under the Daleks occasionally. I think that is | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
part of the reason why people love it because it has that slightly | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
amateurish feel. Today the Daleks are turbo`charged flying machines, | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
enhanced by CGI special effects but from day one they caused problems | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
for the very first Doctor. They were difficult to play to because you are | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
not looking into human eyes, you are looking at a metal object moving | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
about with a voice`over. And there have been plenty of those. This was | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
Wookey Hole in 1974. Excuse me, have you seen Doctor Who anywhere? He's | :23:26. | :23:37. | |
up there. Thank you. Excuse me, I'm looking for Doctor Who. Have you | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
seen them? I think he went for a cup of coffee. Eventually our intrepid | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
reporter did find the Doctor, the fourth and longest`serving one, Tom | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
Baker. You are not in the traditional Doctor Who costume. Now, | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
I'm not. I can't really follow that sophisticated line of my | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
predecessors. I think I have a capacity to the surprised by | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
anything, like this situation now. Would you like a jelly baby? Not an | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
easy act to follow but each new Doctor has made the role their own. | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
And if you know what to look out for, there have been plenty of | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
locations that look familiar if you really know the West of England | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
I just love that clip of Tom Baker. It's wonderful. And you may have | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
noticed rare footage of the original Doctor, William Hartnell there, that | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
whole interview from 1967 is now on our Facebook page for you to enjoy. | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
Now, the weather. It is going to be chilly tonight. | :24:53. | :25:05. | |
Temperatures are dropping like a stone in Bristol and elsewhere. | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
Tomorrow will be wet for the first half of the day with patchy rain. A | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
heavy but short`lived phase in the early afternoon but then brighter | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
later. A few exceptions but we might have some snow later. As we head | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
through the night, clear skies initially. You can see the area of | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
low pressure moving down the East and the cold front will be a more | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
active future but as we move through to the second half of the day it | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
will be a more dry and sunny day and somewhat less windy. We will have | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
clear skies for a good part of the night. Temperatures dropping to | :26:00. | :26:09. | |
freezing or below. Patchy rain as we go towards the rush`hour tomorrow. | :26:10. | :26:22. | |
We will be below freezing. Tomorrow, a chilly start and a windy one as | :26:23. | :26:33. | |
well. That dark blue will give some hail and maybe some lightning. The | :26:34. | :26:44. | |
Cotswolds and maybe the M4 corridor could catch some snow. I doubt if | :26:45. | :26:58. | |
that will settle, though. With the wind added to these temperatures, it | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
will feel pretty cold. The same for the next few days. For the | :27:04. | :27:12. | |
foreseeable future, high`pressure close at hand migrating west to east | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
at the weekend and into next week. That will bring frost and Fog. | :27:21. | :27:33. | |
Thanks for that. I'll be back with an update at 0pm. | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
And you have the football and the rest of the news. Goodbye. | :27:40. | :27:42. |
