:00:11. > :00:14.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines
:00:15. > :00:17.tonight... Chaos on campus. Hundreds of
:00:18. > :00:22.university workers walk out on strike over pay but the boss at UWE
:00:23. > :00:25.gets a bonus. The fastest way to the cemetery ` a
:00:26. > :00:33.warning as fatalities increase among middle`aged bikers. I treat
:00:34. > :00:38.everybody who drives a car is an idiot. I will try to anticipate what
:00:39. > :00:40.they do before I get to them but you cannot always do that.
:00:41. > :00:43.The new man in charge at crisis`hit Bristol City ` how will he cope with
:00:44. > :00:47.the pressure? And it wasn't always glamorous ` the
:00:48. > :00:48.remarkable story of a model who turned her life around after being
:00:49. > :00:57.bullied. Hundreds of staff employed by
:00:58. > :01:03.universities and colleges across the West were on strike today. It was
:01:04. > :01:07.part of a national protest over pay rates for staff like cleaners and
:01:08. > :01:09.porters. Pickets were out early in Bristol, Bath and Cheltenham. But
:01:10. > :01:13.there was particular anger amongst workers at the University of the
:01:14. > :01:18.West of England. Whilst they've been given a one percent pay rise, their
:01:19. > :01:22.boss has just had a ?24,000 bonus. Here's our political editor, Paul
:01:23. > :01:25.Barltrop. The pickets were out before
:01:26. > :01:28.daybreak. In Bath, Bristol and at the University of the West of
:01:29. > :01:32.England, they talked to arriving staff and students. The three unions
:01:33. > :01:37.involved represent the lowest`paid workers like cleaners and porters.
:01:38. > :01:45.And what's happened at UWE has especially angered them. Our Vice
:01:46. > :01:51.Chancellor has had substantial pay increases and we are disappointed
:01:52. > :01:58.that they are awarding themselves high pay increases at a time when
:01:59. > :02:02.their staff... We have members of staff you are having to go to food
:02:03. > :02:07.banks and be demanding that is right. `` and we do not think that
:02:08. > :02:08.is right. Steve West, UWE's vice chancellor, recently got a ?24, 00
:02:09. > :02:09.is right. Steve West, UWE's vice chancellor, recently got a ?24,000
:02:10. > :02:14.performance`related bonus, bringing his total package to ?314,000. It
:02:15. > :02:20.was awarded by an independent panel. I don't feel uncomfortable about
:02:21. > :02:24.defending it. We're in a market economy, people negotiate contracts
:02:25. > :02:28.and the Vice Chancellor has not had an increment for over six years He

:02:41. > :02:43.rally in Bristol this lunchtime Staff are being offered a one
:02:44. > :02:48.percent rise, once more lagging behind the rising cost of living. 1%
:02:49. > :02:53.goes nowhere. Our members have lost 13% in real terms over four years.
:02:54. > :02:55.1% is a derisory offer. The West's universities say today's action
:02:56. > :02:57.caused little disruption for students. They're part of a national
:02:58. > :03:03.consortium which negotiates pay. students. They're part of a national
:03:04. > :03:12.consortium which negotiates pay. 1% is not the full picture and as
:03:13. > :03:18.unions no, staff have packages that include incremental progression and
:03:19. > :03:23.the pay package is likely to be closer to 3% in most institutions.
:03:24. > :03:29.There's no sign of compromise. A defiant mood here today. This is
:03:30. > :03:33.second time the unions have been on strike. They say they will take
:03:34. > :03:39.further action if necessary. The banners have gone, staff are heading
:03:40. > :03:42.back to work, at least for now. The trial of the man accused of
:03:43. > :03:45.causing the M5 crash which killed seven people has entered it's third
:03:46. > :03:48.week, with experts giving evidence on weather conditions on the night
:03:49. > :03:52.of the tragedy. Geoffrey Counsell, who was running a fireworks display
:03:53. > :03:55.at Taunton Rugby Club close to the motorway, is accused of failing to
:03:56. > :03:58.ensure public safety. He denies the charge. The prosecution at Bristol
:03:59. > :04:04.Crown Court say smoke from the display caused the crash. But, in
:04:05. > :04:05.court today, a Met Office scientist said people at the event couldn't
:04:06. > :04:08.said people at the event couldn t agree whether smoke was blowing
:04:09. > :04:12.towards the motorway or away from it.
:04:13. > :04:16.The Prime Minister has been singing the praises of a West Country firm,
:04:17. > :04:21.saying it's a good example of how to do business with the Chinese. David
:04:22. > :04:25.Cameron is in Shanghai, on the second day of his visit to China.
:04:26. > :04:27.Earlier this year on Points West, we visited Moulton Bicycles in
:04:28. > :04:33.Wiltshire to see how the West is trading with the East. Well, today,
:04:34. > :04:36.as well as a thumbs`up from the PM, they've also got another huge order.
:04:37. > :04:43.Our business correspondent, Dave Harvey, went along to the factory
:04:44. > :04:47.this afternoon. We are in Bradford`on`Avon and this
:04:48. > :04:52.place is rapidly becoming the workshop of the Beijing bicycle
:04:53. > :05:00.club, that is what it feels like! It is a family run business with only
:05:01. > :05:07.one international salesman, or make it to! `` or make it to macro! ``
:05:08. > :05:24.make it to . This is the bike the primer Mr has
:05:25. > :05:36.been selling in Beijing, alongside other British icons. How is your new
:05:37. > :05:45.salesman getting on? Fantastic exposure for us. The biggest market
:05:46. > :05:50.in the world, fantastic exposure. Things have moved on. Yes, we are
:05:51. > :05:52.making a special model for the Chinese market. We received an order
:05:53. > :06:05.for 50, which is around ?500,00 . We for 50, which is around ?500,000. We
:06:06. > :06:08.are used to buying stuff that is cheap from China but they are not
:06:09. > :06:19.buying cheap stuff from us, are they? They are the most discerning
:06:20. > :06:23.market. They want our product. It must be great to get an order of
:06:24. > :06:30.that size was not is its new jobs or does it just give those guys busy?
:06:31. > :06:32.80% of dramatic ghost of odd remake goes to the far east already, 25
:06:33. > :06:35.goes to the far east already, 2 major countries. We are looking to
:06:36. > :06:42.double again in the next couple of years. This corner of Wiltshire is
:06:43. > :06:46.doing very nicely but what about the rest of the country? In a couple of
:06:47. > :06:50.days, George Osborne will give the Autumn statement on the state of the
:06:51. > :06:53.British economy. What is it like where you are? I would like to hear
:06:54. > :06:56.from you. And, as the Chancellor prepares to
:06:57. > :06:59.deliver his Autumn Statement, the Government has said the first
:07:00. > :07:02.speculative office development in Bristol for four years is a "very
:07:03. > :07:05.good sign" that the city's economy has turned a corner. Building work
:07:06. > :07:10.on the ?35 million scheme is underway without any tenants having
:07:11. > :07:17.signed up first. The investment near Temple Meads was welcomed by the
:07:18. > :07:22.Planning Minister. There is still a long way to go and we are definitely
:07:23. > :07:28.not out of the woods but here in the heart of Bristol, there is a lot of
:07:29. > :07:32.activity in an enterprise zone will stop an investment like this going
:07:33. > :07:36.on. That is a great idea, it will create jobs and further activity and
:07:37. > :07:39.will see a crucial part of this city revived for the future.
:07:40. > :07:43.There's been a sharp rise in the number of deaths of motorcyclists on
:07:44. > :07:46.the roads in the Avon and Somerset Police force area this year. The
:07:47. > :07:53.fatalities have more than doubled. Scott Ellis has been finding out
:07:54. > :07:57.who's most at risk, and why. The worst part of his job is telling
:07:58. > :08:07.families of the death of a loved one. Behind each tragedy, the raw
:08:08. > :08:13.data. The at risk group of people who are over 25, people who are
:08:14. > :08:16.riding motorcycles in excess of 500 cc and people who are riding on
:08:17. > :08:19.rural roads and two are turning to biking after some years away. Today
:08:20. > :08:25.in Weston`Super`Mare, police were pulling over riders to get the
:08:26. > :08:31.safety message accrss. When did you pass your test? 77. This rider from
:08:32. > :08:37.Nailsea says he was knocked off last December when a car pulled out. He's
:08:38. > :08:41.also a professional lorry driver. I treat everyone who drives a car as
:08:42. > :08:44.an idiot. I will try to anticipate what they do before I get to them
:08:45. > :08:49.but you cannot always do that. You just take your life and you risk,
:08:50. > :08:52.like you would when you try anything. It's a harsh but often
:08:53. > :08:56.heard view of two`wheelers. The data shows us that a third of this year's
:08:57. > :08:59.motorcycle deaths were caused by other vehicles crossing into the
:09:00. > :09:03.path of a bike. But the majority, two thirds, were down to rider error
:09:04. > :09:06.and happened on a weekend or bank holiday Monday. The police say that
:09:07. > :09:13.suggests inexperienced riders making mistakes. And there's evidence that
:09:14. > :09:25.may be the case on the shop floor. The average mileages around 3000
:09:26. > :09:32.miles a year. You are not building up that innate or intimate knowledge
:09:33. > :09:37.of your motorcycle so when you go about and use the full performance,
:09:38. > :09:40.you can get into trouble quickly. The Chief Constable of Avon and
:09:41. > :09:43.Somerset says he's alarmed by the 18 motorcycle deaths. And wants
:09:44. > :09:50.fixed`speed cameras switched back on to improve road safety.
:09:51. > :09:55.Good evening. This is David and Ali with all your
:09:56. > :09:58.local news and sport. Ian will be along shortly with the weather
:09:59. > :10:05.forecast. But, before that, do you remember this? It is all right for
:10:06. > :10:09.some of you. Half of you won't be here in 30 or 40 years! A teenage
:10:10. > :10:13.William Hague making his political debut. We're about to meet a young
:10:14. > :10:17.man from Bath who's been picked to stand for Labour without having ever
:10:18. > :10:20.voted in a General Election himself! And give us our coins back! A
:10:21. > :10:27.campaign to bring a Roman hoard back to Bath. That is coming up.
:10:28. > :10:30.Bristol City have appointed Steve Cotterill as their new manager on a
:10:31. > :10:34.three`and`a`half year contract. He replaces Sean O'Driscoll, who left
:10:35. > :10:37.the club last Thursday. The former Cheltenham Town boss was presented
:10:38. > :10:46.to the media this morning. Alistair Durden reports.
:10:47. > :10:51.He is their six manager in under four years. Steve Cotterill has been
:10:52. > :10:57.considered for the job before but this time at his job. The mission is
:10:58. > :11:00.clear. We don't want a bit too much pressure on ourselves but certainly
:11:01. > :11:02.get out of the position we are in at the moment and tried to take the
:11:03. > :11:12.club forward. So much potential here? Without a shadow of a doubt. I
:11:13. > :11:15.have known the club for many years so I know what a big club it is and
:11:16. > :11:19.we would like to get the supporters excited again and that will be
:11:20. > :11:26.something we will aim to do very early on. He led Johnson into the
:11:27. > :11:31.Football League and then saw them promoted again, winning nearly half
:11:32. > :11:36.of his games in charge. He had more success at Notts County before
:11:37. > :11:43.taking on more challenging positions. He has a good background
:11:44. > :11:47.and will bring in new people and I should think it will only be good
:11:48. > :11:56.for the people. He has success at lower levels, so give him a chance.
:11:57. > :11:58.We are now desperate. His appointment as manager rather than
:11:59. > :12:04.head coach is significant, giving him control over recruitment and
:12:05. > :12:10.coaching. It is a 3.5 year deal but the immediate aim is clear, avoid
:12:11. > :12:12.relegation. We need to go in and coach them as best we can and try to
:12:13. > :12:19.get some results on board first. If get some results on board first If
:12:20. > :12:27.the team came out and we got four results on the belt, if we did
:12:28. > :12:35.that, that would give me confidence, which is vital. After so much change
:12:36. > :12:40.recently, this man believes it is important he is given time to
:12:41. > :12:47.succeed. If you have a long`term plan, you need to put the person you
:12:48. > :12:55.think will stick to that and stick with them. The supporters are
:12:56. > :13:01.interested in staying in league one. Steve Cotterill will bring the
:13:02. > :13:04.plenty of enthusiasm and passion to Bristol City. He has a reputation of
:13:05. > :13:09.getting the best from his players. He needs some results in the
:13:10. > :13:15.short`term. They have two wins this season.
:13:16. > :13:19.Swindon Town chairman Jed McCrory has stepped down from the board and
:13:20. > :13:22.left the club. His departure follows a statement released this morning
:13:23. > :13:26.confirming a company owned by director Lee Power, here in the grey
:13:27. > :13:32.jumper, had taken control of the club from McCrory and his
:13:33. > :13:36.consortium. They only took over Swindon themselves back in February
:13:37. > :13:40.shortly after the exit of former manager Paolo Di Canio.
:13:41. > :13:44.Yeovil Town take on promotion`chasing Blackpool tonight
:13:45. > :13:47.at Huish Park. The Glovers recorded one of the best results in the
:13:48. > :13:52.club's history at the weekend beating Watford away 3`0. They
:13:53. > :13:58.remain in the Championship relegation zone, with just three
:13:59. > :14:01.wins from 17 matches. Somerset bowler Anya Shrubsole has
:14:02. > :14:03.been nominated as Woman Cricketer of the Year. Anya, who's from Bath,
:14:04. > :14:06.been nominated as Woman Cricketer of the Year. Anya, who's from Bath is
:14:07. > :14:09.one of just six women chosen by the International Cricket Council. She
:14:10. > :14:13.was part of the Ashes winning side this summer and starred for England
:14:14. > :14:26.in the World Cup in India where she was amongst the leading wicket
:14:27. > :14:29.takers. Two years ago, Sophie Organ, a Gloucestershire schoolgirl, was so
:14:30. > :14:31.badly bullied she dreaded leaving her home. She self`harmed and
:14:32. > :14:34.suffered with eating disorders. Tonight, though, she'll have her
:14:35. > :14:37.head held high as she struts her stuff down the catwalk for
:14:38. > :14:39.Cheltenham Fashion Week. Fiona Lamdin has been to meet her during
:14:40. > :14:55.her rehearsals. Life's certainly been black and gold
:14:56. > :15:00.for Sophie Organ. Darker days two years ago, when she was badly
:15:01. > :15:02.bullied at school. And the taunting didn't stop when she left the
:15:03. > :15:08.classroom, it followed her home. didn't stop when she left the
:15:09. > :15:11.classroom, it followed her home When people write stuff about you,
:15:12. > :15:16.and you know it is there, it makes you want to read it because you
:15:17. > :15:20.wonder what they are saying about you. Then you go back to how you
:15:21. > :15:21.were at school and you are so depressed but now you are alone,
:15:22. > :15:22.were at school and you are so depressed but now you are alone you
:15:23. > :15:26.depressed but now you are alone, you have no friends around you and you
:15:27. > :15:32.don't want to go to your parents about it. A couple of incidents
:15:33. > :15:35.happened and by this time we realised she was self harming. We
:15:36. > :15:40.did not understand it it was alien to us and it makes you feel like you
:15:41. > :15:51.have failed them. This confident young girl, she had suddenly become
:15:52. > :15:55.a depressed young teenager. But now a touch of golden glamour, a change
:15:56. > :15:58.of school and the chance to model here last year has been a
:15:59. > :16:01.life`changer. I had a view fashion shows in that week and that was so
:16:02. > :16:04.much fun, I met people who had been through the same thing as me who
:16:05. > :16:11.have got either eating disorders or they have had it and I could share
:16:12. > :16:13.everything with them. You got to try on lots of amazing clothes and
:16:14. > :16:18.feel`good about yourself for that week. And, tonight on the catwalk,
:16:19. > :16:19.she's sporting this creation by a 13`year`old schoolgirl from Stroud
:16:20. > :16:33.High. So, with her modelling career well
:16:34. > :16:39.and truly on the right track, Sophie can dream of making it to the cover
:16:40. > :16:41.of a fashion magazine. OK, another one. And one more. And one more
:16:42. > :16:54.after that. A brilliant success story. A name to
:16:55. > :16:57.watch. We will keep our eyes open for her continuing success.
:16:58. > :17:00.Staff at the Roman Baths say they're closing in on their target of
:17:01. > :17:03.?60,000 towards buying a rare archaeological find. One of the
:17:04. > :17:08.largest ever hoards of silver roman coins was found in the city in 2007
:17:09. > :17:10.and the team at the Baths want to acquire them as the centrepiece of a
:17:11. > :17:12.new historical exhibition. Here s acquire them as the centrepiece of a
:17:13. > :17:18.new historical exhibition. Here's new historical exhibition. Here's
:17:19. > :17:21.Jules Hyam. There's no shortage of history here
:17:22. > :17:29.but there's one piece of the past that's got archaeologists rather
:17:30. > :17:31.excited. It was found here, when archaeologists were doing work as a
:17:32. > :17:34.new hotel was being built. 2007, archaeologists were doing work as a
:17:35. > :17:44.new hotel was being built. 2007, a big board of coins, known as the
:17:45. > :17:48.collection. What surprised us was, when two years later, we had an
:17:49. > :17:52.excited curator and setting us to tell us that the horde they now
:17:53. > :17:55.thought was one of the very largest ever found in Roman Britain. That
:17:56. > :17:58.curator was at the British Museum. They've been studying the coins
:17:59. > :18:06.there for a while now, separating them out, identifying them and even
:18:07. > :18:09.X`raying them. What they found was that the money had been buried in
:18:10. > :18:13.bags. This is a replica of one of those bags. There were eight
:18:14. > :18:21.altogether and that makes this extremely rare. We now know that
:18:22. > :18:26.there are just over 17,500 coins. It is probably about the largest ever
:18:27. > :18:29.to come out of a Roman town. Stephen and his team are hoping to acquire
:18:30. > :18:30.the coins and create a new exhibition around them. They've
:18:31. > :18:31.already raised more than ?50,00 . exhibition around them. They've
:18:32. > :18:33.already raised more than ?50,000. already raised more than ?50,000.
:18:34. > :18:46.They need 10,000 more and they've got three months left to find it.
:18:47. > :18:49.Dig deep, David! The Labour Party in Bath has chosen
:18:50. > :18:52.a teenager as their next parliamentary candidate. Ollie
:18:53. > :18:55.Middleton has yet to vote in a General Election himself and wasn't
:18:56. > :18:59.even born when the current MP, Don Foster, won the seat for the Liberal
:19:00. > :19:03.Democrats in 1992. And Ollie joins us now from our Westminster studio.
:19:04. > :19:09.I'm guessing you're hoping this will be first of many interviews from
:19:10. > :19:14.there! I'm hoping so, yes. We will have to
:19:15. > :19:19.wait and see what will happen. It would be good if we could get a view
:19:20. > :19:23.more in. How many people did you beat to get that particular
:19:24. > :19:31.calling? What platform did you stand on? It came, in the end, there was
:19:32. > :19:37.obviously a selection process and then it goes down to short listing,
:19:38. > :19:43.as would happen anywhere else in the country and come in the end, it was
:19:44. > :19:48.down to two of us and on the day, I ended up winning the vote, which I'm
:19:49. > :19:52.very pleased about. How do you think it will go down with the
:19:53. > :19:57.constituents in Bath? Will your age go for you or against you? A lot of
:19:58. > :20:02.people have obviously talked about my age because it is a big factor
:20:03. > :20:07.but I have always found that people are very responsive to having a
:20:08. > :20:11.younger person. I have always found that on the doorsteps, meeting
:20:12. > :20:16.people, they really resonate with it and it is something new and
:20:17. > :20:26.different. I actually think it is an asset. What experienced do you think
:20:27. > :20:32.you will bring? What insights? I can bring a young person 's perspective
:20:33. > :20:39.and that is one of my key assets. I think, when it comes to issues
:20:40. > :20:43.surrounding young people, a lot of them have not been top of the little
:20:44. > :20:49.agenda recently, we have seen rising tuition fees and the prospect of
:20:50. > :20:58.people paying ?9,000 a year for a university course, with the
:20:59. > :21:04.employment and jobs market, we have too many people unemployed. Young
:21:05. > :21:09.people , like everyone across the spectrum, a feeling a lot of effects
:21:10. > :21:13.with the cost of living and various other issues as well. Hopefully, I
:21:14. > :21:26.can bring a young person's viewpoint to those issues. Bath has no history
:21:27. > :21:34.of voting for Labour. You being up for a fall? I would not say that. In
:21:35. > :21:38.recent years, yes, Labour would not have made the impact they would have
:21:39. > :21:42.liked in Bath. There is potential there. They are looking for an
:21:43. > :21:51.alternative and all I can do is do everything in my power to promote
:21:52. > :21:57.the Labour manifesto and we need to ensure we engage with people. Some
:21:58. > :22:07.real politician answers here! Who is your hero? Tony Blair or Tony Benn?
:22:08. > :22:13.Have I got to pick one of those two? They are both fantastic politicians.
:22:14. > :22:18.You are going to be on the politics show for years to come! Thank you
:22:19. > :22:22.very much for coming on. Nice to meet you.
:22:23. > :22:25.Rare photographs of the Queen and her sister, Princess Margaret, on
:22:26. > :22:26.stage in pantomime are being put up for auction in Gloucestershire. The
:22:27. > :22:30.images, taken between 1940 and 1944, images, taken between 1940 and 1944,
:22:31. > :22:35.feature in two scrapbooks which are expected to sell for thousands of
:22:36. > :22:40.pounds next week. They show the young princesses in Windsor in shows
:22:41. > :22:43.including Cinderella and Aladdin. The photographs are part of a
:22:44. > :22:46.collection jointly owned by a former headmaster in the town and actor
:22:47. > :22:59.Cyril Woods, a lifelong friend of the Queen. That is some family
:23:00. > :23:12.album! The Team GB kit worn by Peter Wilson
:23:13. > :23:21.has raised `` raised ?300 at auction. He donated them to a local
:23:22. > :23:26.charity shop and bidding has taken place over the last five weeks.
:23:27. > :23:29.I don't think my old socks would get that much!
:23:30. > :23:31.A group of Gloucester Rugby players earned themselves a special
:23:32. > :23:34.pampering session earlier after doing their bit for charity. Scrum
:23:35. > :23:37.half Dan Robson was among several of the squad who grew moustaches
:23:38. > :23:43.throughout November, or rather MO`vember, to raise money for
:23:44. > :23:46.prostate cancer. Today, along with winger Shane Monahan, they were
:23:47. > :23:57.given an expert shave and massage as their facial furniture was removed.
:23:58. > :24:07.Ever fancied growing a moustache? I don't think I had enough. I would
:24:08. > :24:16.need a false one! Imagine him turning up like Tom Selleck!
:24:17. > :24:21.You saw some politicians answers earlier. We're in a similar
:24:22. > :24:24.situation as we head towards mid`December towards Christmas.
:24:25. > :24:32.Everyone is asking how cold it will get and weather it will be a white
:24:33. > :24:37.Christmas, etc etc. There is a 50`50 split in the forecasts that that
:24:38. > :24:43.go`ahead. Some look very mild. We are favouring an opinion that it
:24:44. > :24:45.will get colder. For the time being, we are looking at an oscillation of
:24:46. > :24:51.temperatures over the next few days. Tomorrow start a trend where we will
:24:52. > :24:55.start on familiar territory, there will be some showery round around. A
:24:56. > :24:59.weak frontal come southwards. In the second half of the day, in contrast
:25:00. > :25:05.to recent weather, there will be a lot of sunshine around. It will be a
:25:06. > :25:08.marked change was not a cloudy picture for now with high pressure
:25:09. > :25:13.dominating. This frontal come through tomorrow morning, which
:25:14. > :25:20.brings in that first of the as we get towards the afternoon and it who
:25:21. > :25:27.was the cloud away. A chilly night into Thursday. This area of low
:25:28. > :25:30.pressure will be a very big feature. It will run down into the North Sea
:25:31. > :25:31.into Thursday, giving some severe weather across north`east England
:25:32. > :25:43.and Scotland, with a chance of 70 and Scotland, with a chance of 0
:25:44. > :25:47.mph winds. We will see a change into Friday. For the time being, a lot of
:25:48. > :25:53.cloud around. No fog problems tonight. It should stay dry. As we
:25:54. > :25:56.head towards daybreak, this cold front is easing down into parts of
:25:57. > :26:01.Gloucestershire for rush`hour. The rain will be intermittent. There may
:26:02. > :26:04.be the odd heavy burst around but it should be light and inconsequential
:26:05. > :26:11.for the most part. Temperatures are between one and four Celsius. Some
:26:12. > :26:14.damp weather for the first age of the morning. That eases south. It
:26:15. > :26:20.sucks the cloud away with it to the south. This bright weather feeds in
:26:21. > :26:25.from the North from lunchtime onwards. The afternoon will be under
:26:26. > :26:29.largely clear skies. We continue that way as we head towards
:26:30. > :26:35.nightfall. There will be the blue turning up on the map. It will be a
:26:36. > :26:45.chilly night by then. Temperatures tomorrow about 6`8 Celsius. As we
:26:46. > :26:47.look further afield, into the mid`range prospects, that change
:26:48. > :26:54.that is taking place with low pressure close at hand will meet a
:26:55. > :26:57.much windy day on Thursday. A cold day on Friday, despite the lighter
:26:58. > :27:01.winds and then the temperatures start to climb again over the
:27:02. > :27:11.weekend. It looks a lot milder. But for how long?
:27:12. > :27:14.Now it's time to continue our countdown to Christmas here on
:27:15. > :27:17.Points West, as we turn to our advent calendar. Every weekday
:27:18. > :27:20.night, we're choosing a festive picture sent in by one of you and
:27:21. > :27:24.opening a virtual window on a Christmassy West Country scene. And
:27:25. > :27:26.today we turn to Bridgwater and this picture from Malcolm Lewis. We've
:27:27. > :27:30.already had a fantastic response with some great images, if you've
:27:31. > :27:39.got one you'd like to be considered, the email address is on the screen.
:27:40. > :27:49.The pictures have been lovely. They have. Thank you. That is it for now.
