:00:00. > :00:00.arrives on Friday. Can't wait! That's all from
:00:00. > :00:07.West Somerset coastline. Join us at 6:30pm.
:00:08. > :00:14.Welcome to BBC Points West with Alex Lovell and Sabet Choudhury. Our main
:00:15. > :00:17.story tonight: Continuing the fight to die with dignity.
:00:18. > :00:23.The family of Tony Nicklinson take their campaign to the highest court
:00:24. > :00:24.in the land. That we have nine judges sitting shows how seriously
:00:25. > :00:35.they are taking it. We'll be asking a legal expert to
:00:36. > :00:39.assess their chance of success. Also in tonight's programme: Facing
:00:40. > :00:43.16 years in an Indonesian prison, the former police worker who
:00:44. > :00:47.admitted smuggling drugs. Jailed for admitting that he raped a
:00:48. > :00:52.prostitute Bristol. The case that's been welcomed by the sex industry.
:00:53. > :00:54.And the centuries`old practice of oyster farming returns to the West
:00:55. > :01:03.Somerset coastline. Good evening. Tony Nicklinson
:01:04. > :01:07.suffered from locked`in syndrome ` meaning he could see and hear what
:01:08. > :01:10.was going on around him but could only communicate by moving his eyes
:01:11. > :01:15.` because he was almost totally paralysed. The former engineer from
:01:16. > :01:18.Wiltshire died after losing a High Court battle for the right to
:01:19. > :01:24.voluntary euthanasia for himself and his fellow sufferers. But today his
:01:25. > :01:27.widow took their fight to the highest court in the land. Jane
:01:28. > :01:30.Nicklinson was joined in the Supreme Court by Paul Lamb, who was
:01:31. > :01:34.paralysed in a road accident more than 20 years ago. He now wants a
:01:35. > :01:39.doctor to help him die in a dignified way. Sarah`Jane Bungay
:01:40. > :01:42.reports from London. They arrived determined, but
:01:43. > :01:47.realistic. Jane and Lauren Nicklinson know this is their final
:01:48. > :01:50.chance. Together with Paul Lamb they're hoping to sweep aside a
:01:51. > :02:00.current ban on assisted suicide using the Human Rights Act.
:02:01. > :02:03.I need to know that my dad's suffering meant more than just
:02:04. > :02:08.suffering. I need to know that some good will come out of that. I think
:02:09. > :02:12.back to when dad was still here and think back to him crying in his room
:02:13. > :02:19.and hurting so much. I don't want anyone else to be in that position.
:02:20. > :02:22.I don't want to be in a position. Tony Nicklinson always said he was
:02:23. > :02:25.being discriminated against. He was unable to take his own life due to
:02:26. > :02:29.his disability, and wanted a medical professional to do it for him
:02:30. > :02:32.instead. That could have led to prosecution of that individual. Tony
:02:33. > :02:35.said his right to choose when to die had been taken away from him.
:02:36. > :02:41.This appeal marks what the appellants hope will be their final
:02:42. > :02:44.attempt to a steady extraordinary and, we submit, cruel consequences
:02:45. > :02:48.for them. Today, nine of the country's top
:02:49. > :02:51.judges sat to decide if the current ban on assisted suicide contravened
:02:52. > :02:54.a right to respect for private and family life. Lawyers for the
:02:55. > :02:56.Nicklison family said in Oregon and the Netherlands, where regulated
:02:57. > :02:59.assisted suicide is legal, there hadn't been any kind of slippery
:03:00. > :03:04.slope leading to vulnerable people being targeted. They argued it was
:03:05. > :03:11.the fear of this which had stood in the way of reform. The evidence from
:03:12. > :03:14.all or other jurisdictions which change the law is that once you
:03:15. > :03:18.licensed doctors to prescribe lethal drugs so that patients can kill
:03:19. > :03:22.themselves, you inevitably get incremental extension and mission
:03:23. > :03:26.creep. An increase in numbers year`on`year, and more and more
:03:27. > :03:33.categories of people being involved. It cannot be controlled.
:03:34. > :03:37.Paul Vodden QC continued his arguments, saying that a measure
:03:38. > :03:42.that once seemed appropriate may have become out of touch with what
:03:43. > :03:46.society seems acceptable. The ban on, sexuality was perhaps one such
:03:47. > :03:49.measure, we argue that the ban on assisted suicide is another.
:03:50. > :03:52.Tomorrow the Ministry of Justice will put forward their argument to
:03:53. > :03:55.keeping the status quo. A ruling isn't expected from the Spreme Court
:03:56. > :04:04.until next Spring. Joining us now from London is legal
:04:05. > :04:08.expert, Joshua Rozenberg. How seriously are the courts taking this
:04:09. > :04:13.case? Very seriously. It is not just that
:04:14. > :04:17.nine judges are sitting on my three quarters, it is the very fact that
:04:18. > :04:20.they are hearing this case. Tony Nicklinson did take his own life
:04:21. > :04:24.last year, and the judges could have said, this is what we call a moot
:04:25. > :04:28.case, there is no point to it. On the contrary, be allowed Jane
:04:29. > :04:33.Nicklinson to bring the case on his behalf, he heard the claim by Paul
:04:34. > :04:40.Lamb, and other related case by a man called Martin. Ya taking this
:04:41. > :04:43.very seriously indeed. Does going to the Supreme Court give the family
:04:44. > :04:47.more chance of getting success in this case?
:04:48. > :04:50.I think they knew all along when they took this case to the High
:04:51. > :04:54.Court and lost that their only hope was the Supreme Court. We don't know
:04:55. > :04:58.what the Supreme Court is going to decide. I don't think the judges
:04:59. > :05:02.themselves know yet. They want to listen to four days of argument
:05:03. > :05:06.then it will be plenty of arguments among themselves in order to decide
:05:07. > :05:10.what the decision is going to be. They are torn between saying, as the
:05:11. > :05:16.lower courts did, this is a matter for Parliament and judges cannot
:05:17. > :05:19.make law, and on the other hand is taking the view that Parliament is
:05:20. > :05:23.not going to go there and if anyone is going to give these families some
:05:24. > :05:28.hope it will be the courts. If they lose, is the end of the line for
:05:29. > :05:31.their campaign? Certainly as far as the courts are
:05:32. > :05:35.concerned. There is the possibility of the European Court of human
:05:36. > :05:39.rights, they are arguing human rights laws on the basis this is an
:05:40. > :05:44.interference with Tony Nicklinson and others' right to life, but the
:05:45. > :05:52.next stage if they lose nihilistic campaign in parliament to try to get
:05:53. > :05:55.Parliament to change the law. A woman from Gloucestershire, who
:05:56. > :05:58.admitted smuggling drugs into Indonesia, could spend the next 16
:05:59. > :06:02.years in prison. Andrea Waldeck who used to work for the police, was
:06:03. > :06:07.back in court today to hear the prosecution propose her sentence.
:06:08. > :06:09.But her lawyer has objected to the demand, calling it too harsh. Laura
:06:10. > :06:12.Jones reports. Back in court in Indonesia this
:06:13. > :06:20.morning ` 43`year`old Andrea Waldeck. Today, she came to hear how
:06:21. > :06:23.long prosecutors think she should spend in jail. Andrea Waldeck, who
:06:24. > :06:26.used to work as a community support officer with Gloucestershire police,
:06:27. > :06:30.was arrested earlier this year, for smuggling drugs into the South East
:06:31. > :06:39.Asian country. She has admitted the charge, but says she was coerced
:06:40. > :06:43.into it after being threatened. The prosecution asked for her to be
:06:44. > :06:49.sentenced to 16 years in jail and to be fined $200,000.
:06:50. > :06:52.They asked for a long sentence because the Indonesian government
:06:53. > :06:58.tries to curb drug smuggling and drug use, which the authorities say
:06:59. > :07:03.is on the rise. This sentence, while it is a good indicator of what the
:07:04. > :07:08.judges will eventually deliver, sometimes the judges could deliver a
:07:09. > :07:15.sentence that is lighter, or much harsher than what the prosecution
:07:16. > :07:18.has recommended. Indonesia has some of the toughest
:07:19. > :07:24.anti`drug laws in the world. Recently, another woman, Lindsay
:07:25. > :07:30.Sandiford was sentenced to death after being caught with almost five
:07:31. > :07:35.kilos of cocaine. She is awaiting the penalty in Bali. The judge
:07:36. > :07:40.decided to impose the toughest sentence possible. Images of Andrea
:07:41. > :07:44.Waldeck, the court will hear from her defence team in the beginning of
:07:45. > :07:53.January, and the judge is likely to make his decision about half the a
:07:54. > :07:59.few weeks after that. Just nine days now until Christmas.
:08:00. > :08:04.Not long to go. Plenty more stories tonight, including, counting the
:08:05. > :08:10.cost of the weekend gear up. Bars and clubs being asked to pay up to
:08:11. > :08:12.keep one`time tidy. And all for charity, we'll be
:08:13. > :08:16.meeting the Wiltshire family who have covered their home and garden
:08:17. > :08:26.in 100,000 lights decreed this wonderful winter wonderland.
:08:27. > :08:29.A man's been jailed for three years and four months for the rape of a
:08:30. > :08:32.prostitute in Bristol. Daniel`Nicolae Ilie from Romania,
:08:33. > :08:36.had agreed a price for sex with the woman, but attacked her when she
:08:37. > :08:39.refused to carry out another act. The case has been welcomed in the
:08:40. > :08:45.industry, where one in four street workers are sexually assaulted.
:08:46. > :08:48.Sally Challoner was in court. The victim is one of an estimated
:08:49. > :08:53.one hundred and seventy`seven women selling sex on the streets of
:08:54. > :08:57.Bristol. She was picked up on fish ponds Road one night in September.
:08:58. > :09:02.She and Ilie agreed on a price ` ?20 ` but he raped her when she refused
:09:03. > :09:07.to do more. She was left upset and in pain. Today in court, Illie was
:09:08. > :09:11.jailed after admitting the attack. He'll also have to undergo courses
:09:12. > :09:16.to give him a better understanding of sexual relationships. The
:09:17. > :09:19.sentence has been welcomed by Operation Bluestone, a specialist
:09:20. > :09:27.police unit set up to support rape victims.
:09:28. > :09:30.It's a good outcome, and re`emphasises that all sexual
:09:31. > :09:34.violence is important, all sexual violence is serious, and when
:09:35. > :09:37.victims have got the courage and confidence to speak to us, we will
:09:38. > :09:39.look after them and support them. Sentencing Illie, the judge Mark
:09:40. > :09:56.Horton said: Many of Bristol's sex workers get
:09:57. > :09:58.support here at the One25 project in St Paul's.
:09:59. > :10:04.It provides advice, counselling health checks, and warm meals. One
:10:05. > :10:12.in four have been assaulted, but most don't report it.
:10:13. > :10:16.When men see women standing on the street selling their bodies, think
:10:17. > :10:21.they can do what they like, that it is there for the taking. And even
:10:22. > :10:26.though the woman consents to having sex, they feel that they can take
:10:27. > :10:28.whatever they wish. These women are desperate and are victims
:10:29. > :10:33.themselves, and have suffered abuse all their lives. I think we need to
:10:34. > :10:35.protect them and look after their rights.
:10:36. > :10:39.The women here have an 'ugly mugs' list of men who are dangerous and to
:10:40. > :10:43.avoid. They hope today's sentence will send a message that just
:10:44. > :10:50.because a woman is selling sex, that doesn't mean any kind of abuse is
:10:51. > :10:53.OK. A new campaign against dropping
:10:54. > :10:57.litter was launched in Bristol today. To show the scale of the
:10:58. > :11:00.problem, a pile of all the litter dropped on the street in the city
:11:01. > :11:05.centre over the weekend was collected together and put in St
:11:06. > :11:15.Augustine's parade. The city spends five million pounds a year cleaning
:11:16. > :11:18.up rubbish from the streets. Bars and clubs in Cheltenham will have to
:11:19. > :11:24.pay to clear up after late`night drinking. This afternoon, a bar lady
:11:25. > :11:28.was approved. Some businesses could be asked to
:11:29. > :11:33.pay 4000 a year towards the cost of policing and picking up the litter.
:11:34. > :11:36.Cheltenham was built on a reputation of leisure and entertainment and the
:11:37. > :11:40.night time economy is now the biggest in the county. But policing
:11:41. > :11:44.the town centre in Cheltenham alone now costs over ?600,000 a year. Add
:11:45. > :11:48.to that costs of street cleaning and it all adds up ` but now those that
:11:49. > :11:51.serve alcohol after midngiht will contrbute towards it. For Ian
:11:52. > :11:58.Underhill that will mean over ? ,000 extra a year for his nightclub which
:11:59. > :12:03.opens til 6am. We only really trade two nights of
:12:04. > :12:07.the week because most of our customers are working people, the
:12:08. > :12:11.economic climate has meant that people are watching their spending
:12:12. > :12:15.is. With the rates that we already pay, we are not making a mess five
:12:16. > :12:23.nights of the week anyway. It Israeli only at the weekends.
:12:24. > :12:27.Any funds raised will be spent in Cheltenham. In a robust debate, many
:12:28. > :12:30.councillors were unhappy that some smaller B and hotels that choose
:12:31. > :12:34.to serve alcohol to their guests will also have to pay the levy ` all
:12:35. > :12:37.based on rateable value of their business. But the motion was voted
:12:38. > :12:44.through, which could raise ?140 000 every year. 30% will go to the
:12:45. > :12:49.council and 70% to the police. I think it is about supporting the
:12:50. > :12:53.businesses, then engaging with this, and some were quite supportive
:12:54. > :12:57.in our meeting. Is about supporting them, getting the right outcomes and
:12:58. > :13:00.improving the town. Many pub owners welcome the levy in
:13:01. > :13:04.principal, but say it's too general in its approach, and others let the
:13:05. > :13:07.councillor know it. Gary Paterson says he'll pay the levy, but says
:13:08. > :13:10.people aren't just drinking in pubs and clubs ` many are pre`loading, as
:13:11. > :13:14.it's called, with cheap supermarket alcohol before they come out.
:13:15. > :13:18.They don't have to accept it, it is a government policy that they can
:13:19. > :13:21.introduce if they wish. Is the introduce a slightly more succinct
:13:22. > :13:26.version, maybe a Cheltenham entertainment tax, because it is a
:13:27. > :13:29.tax, that may be able to target the problems that are directed this
:13:30. > :13:33.time, because not all times are the same.
:13:34. > :13:37.The bottom line is, whether you are a small B not in the town centre
:13:38. > :13:42.or a big nightclub right in Cheltenham, and you serve alcohol
:13:43. > :13:45.after midnight, from the 1st of April next year, you will help to
:13:46. > :13:51.pay for the cleaning and the policing of the town centre
:13:52. > :13:55.streets. The first city in the UK to
:13:56. > :13:57.introduce the levy was Newcastle six weeks ago.
:13:58. > :14:02.Joining us now is Damian Conway who is Chairman of Newcastle City
:14:03. > :14:08.Pubwatch. So what's been the impact on trade?
:14:09. > :14:13.It hasn't made much impact as yet because it is only coming six weeks
:14:14. > :14:16.ago, at the early signs are that Newcastle City Council are going to
:14:17. > :14:21.do a good job and spend the tax that they raise on elements to make the
:14:22. > :14:26.city centre better for drinkers who, after all, other people who are
:14:27. > :14:31.paying the tax because we have to put the prices up to pay the tax.
:14:32. > :14:36.Wanted traders say about it? Similar to in Cheltenham. Some
:14:37. > :14:40.traders say that they could do with more services in the city centre,
:14:41. > :14:44.but many of the traders complain that is those rates are already very
:14:45. > :14:50.high Newcastle City centre, and one trader in particular pointed out to
:14:51. > :14:54.me this morning that if you add up 35 top business ratepayers in the
:14:55. > :14:57.city centre, that would cover the entire bill just on the business
:14:58. > :15:01.rates. As a trader yourself, what is your
:15:02. > :15:07.solution? We believe that we already pay very
:15:08. > :15:09.high business rates. We also have a very great relationship with the
:15:10. > :15:16.council and the police in the city centre. There are many initiatives
:15:17. > :15:20.we do to keep Newcastle City centre safe, and many of our members are
:15:21. > :15:25.unsure whether the taxes justified. Perhaps it is just another tax
:15:26. > :15:29.sanctioned by central government, and our council have been forced to
:15:30. > :15:32.enact it. Some people would argue that these
:15:33. > :15:38.bars are attracting people, she do not pay to have it cleared up
:15:39. > :15:43.anyway, and police to? Let me use down to outline wood used
:15:44. > :15:48.by one of my largest licensees, one of the largest licensees said, I pay
:15:49. > :15:52.?30,000 a year in business rates, and for that they don't even empty
:15:53. > :15:57.my bins, so we have my business rates gone? Why should I pay more?
:15:58. > :15:59.One final thing, what would you message beat any business in
:16:00. > :16:03.Cheltenham? My message to the licensees in
:16:04. > :16:09.Cheltenham is, please get in contact with Newcastle City Pubwatch, keep a
:16:10. > :16:13.good eye on your council and police force to make sure they are going to
:16:14. > :16:17.spend the tax for the good of the drinkers in the city centre, and not
:16:18. > :16:31.on other ancillary things. Have you noticed any difference in the city?
:16:32. > :16:42.This morning, his thoughts were on keeping dry and getting the players
:16:43. > :16:47.ready for Wednesday's FA Cup replay. Rovers league form is proving harder
:16:48. > :16:51.to solve for John Ward. After steering them to safety last season,
:16:52. > :16:56.they're back where he started a year ago.
:16:57. > :17:00.We survived last year and that was an achievement. It looked like we
:17:01. > :17:04.would have to do a similar situation this year. It's not a great move
:17:05. > :17:07.forward. The squad has settled down, we have got good young players
:17:08. > :17:12.coming through, and good backroom staff, we just need to improve the
:17:13. > :17:14.first`team results. It's not been good enough, and we have to get
:17:15. > :17:17.better. Put simply, they're not scoring
:17:18. > :17:21.enough goals, fewer than one a game on average. That was the story again
:17:22. > :17:24.at Morecambe where they took the lead before losing. A lack of
:17:25. > :17:31.experience, maybe ` Saturday's team contained six players aged 23 or
:17:32. > :17:34.younger. At some point you got to grow up in
:17:35. > :17:38.this game and realise what you need to do to win a football and at this
:17:39. > :17:44.moment it is something that is eluding us. But I think we need to
:17:45. > :17:47.stick together, stay strong, keep working hard, and I firmly believe
:17:48. > :17:50.the games will change and the results will come. Rovers have been
:17:51. > :17:56.here before. The 19 points collected so far is mirrored by the first half
:17:57. > :17:59.of last season. John Ward's appointment then saw them collect 41
:18:00. > :18:13.points in the second half of the campaign. And two years ago, a
:18:14. > :18:17.bigger points. Players do pull it out the bag when
:18:18. > :18:27.they are up against it, but come the end of the season, they finish the
:18:28. > :18:27.last season strongly, and some other players may be too
:18:28. > :18:30.last season strongly, and some other players relaxed. The transfer window
:18:31. > :18:34.will open in January, giving John Ward the chance to make changes
:18:35. > :18:41.A cup win this week would certainly strengthen his hand financially
:18:42. > :18:43.There were seven medals for Bath`based swimmers at the European
:18:44. > :18:46.Short`Course Championships which finished yesterday. Michael Jamieson
:18:47. > :18:51.knocked more than a second off his British record, claiming silver in
:18:52. > :18:53.the 200 metres breaststroke. 18`year`old Siobhan`Marie O'Connor
:18:54. > :18:57.from Bitton won bronze in the 1 0m individual medley, to add to the
:18:58. > :19:11.silver she won earlier in the championships.
:19:12. > :19:14.A group of volunteers is planning to restart a centuries old industry
:19:15. > :19:17.along the Somerset coastline ` oyster farming. The group in the
:19:18. > :19:20.village of Porlock, near Minehead have already received grants of
:19:21. > :19:24.?17,000 for a pilot project. Our Somerset Correspondent Clinton
:19:25. > :19:33.Rogers has the story. In this area is where the old fish
:19:34. > :19:36.traps and tidal ponds used to be. Out there, somewhere beneath the
:19:37. > :19:38.sea, there are apparently still the remnants of the oyster farms of
:19:39. > :19:42.Porlock Weir. And in the day they were a delicacy
:19:43. > :19:50.renowned across the country ` the best tasting oysters anywhere. Or so
:19:51. > :19:56.they claimed. But the oyster industry in Porlock disappeared
:19:57. > :19:58.about 80 years ago. Into three years' time, we will an
:19:59. > :20:01.industry here. Now a voluntary organisation called
:20:02. > :20:04.Porlock Futures, dedicated to encouraging economic growth in the
:20:05. > :20:08.area wants to restart the industry, to create new jobs in an area where
:20:09. > :20:16.such things are almost as rare as oysters.
:20:17. > :20:23.We're one of the oldest committees and country, and it is very
:20:24. > :20:25.difficult with young people with families to find deployment and
:20:26. > :20:29.bring their families up here. Is this the answer?
:20:30. > :20:31.We think it is. Exmoor National Park, the parish
:20:32. > :20:34.council and the Shellfish Association of Great Britain have
:20:35. > :20:38.collectively come up with ?17,0 0 to fund a pilot project here.
:20:39. > :20:41.Initially, young oysters will be brought in from other fisheries
:20:42. > :20:45.like here in Falmouth, and then cultivated in Porlock ` it will be
:20:46. > :20:57.an important test to see in the waters of Porlock Weir can still
:20:58. > :21:01.sustain oysters. Eventually, as everything works out
:21:02. > :21:05.fine, we'll have hundreds of trestles with thousands and
:21:06. > :21:11.thousands of oysters. It will be quite good in the local pubs.
:21:12. > :21:15.The trial will last one year, and if it is successful this being will
:21:16. > :21:20.once again see commercial oyster production. What makes this project
:21:21. > :21:28.unique is that if and when it makes money, that money will be reinvested
:21:29. > :21:37.into another community Project. Always with the aim of growing new
:21:38. > :21:40.jobs. It's a delicacy, but nothing
:21:41. > :21:45.delicate about the way you eat them stop back I like that.
:21:46. > :21:48.Now, it's just nine sleeps until Christmas, and as you drive around
:21:49. > :21:52.the West Country, you can't fail to be impressed by the array of
:21:53. > :21:55.Christmas lights that are up. And in one village near Malmesbury, there's
:21:56. > :21:59.a pretty incredible display that's attracting up to a hundred people
:22:00. > :22:07.every night. It's in the village of Charlton where Liz Beacon is
:22:08. > :22:15.tonight. Just a few. This display is really
:22:16. > :22:19.amazing. When you approach this village just outside Malmesbury you
:22:20. > :22:24.cannot fail to find the lights. There are over 100,000 lights on
:22:25. > :22:28.display, covering the house. There are glowing stars, Father
:22:29. > :22:36.Christmases, snowmen and even a blow`up Rudolph the red`nosed
:22:37. > :22:41.reindeer. People have been coming here, giving money to charity as
:22:42. > :22:47.they come, and it has been delighting crowds as they come.
:22:48. > :22:50.I find it quite emotional. I got into the grotto with the reindeers,
:22:51. > :22:59.and I was filling up, it's a beautiful, so Christmassy.
:23:00. > :23:05.I hope they raise lots of money They are not just lights on display,
:23:06. > :23:10.there are grottoes dotted around. Father Christmas has his own grotto,
:23:11. > :23:15.and this is an Arctic grotto, filled with reindeer, a model of Father
:23:16. > :23:20.Christmas, and even a penguin having a slide down an iceberg. This has
:23:21. > :23:25.all been the rain child of Michaela who lives here with her family. This
:23:26. > :23:30.really has grown over the past couple of years, hasn't it?
:23:31. > :23:36.Yes, it's most troubled and size since we started in 2010.
:23:37. > :23:40.There is a serious reason to this, isn't there?
:23:41. > :23:46.Yes, I lost my dad in 2009 to epilepsy. He loved Christmas and so
:23:47. > :23:51.did I. It seemed fitting that I could do something to help raise
:23:52. > :23:55.money for epilepsy research UK to take on something that my dad always
:23:56. > :23:58.loved. You must be thrilled with the
:23:59. > :24:01.time`out. It has been phenomenal, I can't
:24:02. > :24:06.believe it. Simile people have come to support us, it's been amazing.
:24:07. > :24:13.Vigil are said to me this morning that she had raised over ?7,500
:24:14. > :24:18.That total has already today exceeded ?8,500. You can tell how
:24:19. > :24:21.popular it is with the people in and around this lovely village of
:24:22. > :24:26.Charlton. I'm not surprised, it's
:24:27. > :24:34.spectacular. It puts my Christmas tree to shame. The start of the day
:24:35. > :24:36.wasn't particularly Christmassy I was awoken by the sound of the
:24:37. > :24:46.rain. It was pretty miserable. Will the
:24:47. > :24:50.better be any better tomorrow? It may not seem like it now, but
:24:51. > :24:57.later on tonight there is every chance and we will see a touch of
:24:58. > :25:01.frost. Fog and frost in places. Lighter
:25:02. > :25:07.winds, and the chance of some sunshine. Where the mist and fog
:25:08. > :25:13.sticks it could be a marquee day. Most likely, I think across the
:25:14. > :25:19.Forest of Dean, towards Birmingham, the fog could be quite thick first
:25:20. > :25:29.thing tomorrow morning, and slow to clear. This stripe of ? is creeping
:25:30. > :25:33.its way eastwards tonight, and while we keep a lot of medium and high
:25:34. > :25:37.level cloud, that will not stop the temperatures falling, and it will
:25:38. > :25:42.give us some outbreaks of rain until the early hours of the morning when
:25:43. > :25:46.it finally clears out of the way. That rain band is what we are
:25:47. > :25:50.watching, behind it, more broken cloud which means a better day
:25:51. > :25:54.tomorrow. For a couple of hours tonight it could be quite wet. The
:25:55. > :25:58.rain will ease away, and then we get clearance as well as mist and fog
:25:59. > :26:03.clearing by tomorrow morning. Don temperatures around two or three
:26:04. > :26:08.degrees above freezing, so cold enough ruefully for some frost, but
:26:09. > :26:14.we also have a reasonable day tomorrow. Sunny spells for the rest
:26:15. > :26:19.of the day, he called David and recently, with temperatures probably
:26:20. > :26:25.no higher than six or seven degrees for most of us, even lower where it
:26:26. > :26:28.starts off misty and 40. The outlook for Thursday and Friday, a little
:26:29. > :26:35.brighter and certainly drier, but Wednesday summer we could see heavy
:26:36. > :26:39.rain. Milder on Wednesday, cold conditions on Thursday, even with
:26:40. > :26:49.the risk of someone three showers, and cloudy again by Friday.
:26:50. > :26:52.Thanks to David. Time now for our Advent Calendar.
:26:53. > :26:56.And because it's Monday, we've got three windows to open. The first has
:26:57. > :27:00.been sent in by Mark Horne, who s sent us a picture of his rescue dog,
:27:01. > :27:03.Rex. He's looking a bit hangdog Mark. Are you sure he doesn't need
:27:04. > :27:09.rescuing from you? Behind door 5, do you recognise this church? You
:27:10. > :27:14.might do, if you know west Somerset. This is St Ethelreda's in West
:27:15. > :27:20.Quantoxhead. Thank you to David Cronon for sending that in. I
:27:21. > :27:24.recognise that because I got married their.
:27:25. > :27:28.And last of all for today, from West Quantoxhead to Narnia. No,
:27:29. > :27:32.apparently not. I'm not sure where the picture was taken, but it was
:27:33. > :27:38.sent in by Richard Davies from Frome.
:27:39. > :27:41.That said from us for now. Thank you for all your pictures.
:27:42. > :27:47.We're back at 10:25pm.
