throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. We are back with the | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
late Good evening. Supporters of fox | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
hunting in Gloucestershire say they have not given up hope of the ban | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
being lifted. One of the Prime Minister's election pledges was a | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
free vote on hunting laws. But anti`hunt protesters see public | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
support for the ban is rising. `` say public support. Scott Ellis | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
reports. Hundreds turned out for the Duke of | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Beaufort's hunt in Gloucestershire today. Since 2005, it's been illegal | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
to kill foxes with packs of dogs. Many here want that ban lifted and | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
hunts, once again, to cull. It's kind of part of this country's | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
history. And we are getting rid of so many traditions these days. I | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
don't think it's any more cruel than fishing. So I think, if you want to | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
ban one, you should ban the other. I think it's almost a way of weeding | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
out of the weaker or older foxes as well. The average fox is pretty fit | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
and wily. And if it's a young, fit fox, it would probably get away | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
anyway. But a recent poll suggests 80% of the public remain in favour | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
of the ban. Anti`hunt protesters want the current laws tightened and | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
enforced. The real problem is that they are willing to break the law | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
all the time. And don't accept that it is banned by popular consent but | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
also because of the appalling nature of what they do. That allegation is | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
denied by this hunt. They say they lay a scented trail to exercise | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
their hounds. In October, David Cameron expressed sympathy for those | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
that want the laws loosened. But it seems unlikely to be high on his | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
political agenda in the run`up to 2015's general election. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
The West is preparing itself for another night of bad weather, just | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
48 hours after the last storms. Bradford`on`Avon was one of the | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
worst affected areas, with homes and shops flooded. Council workers have | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
spent the day clearing debris from the bridge in the town, which has | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
now reopened. The Romanian government has | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
appointed its own diplomat to represent the 1000 Romanians who | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
live in Bristol. Razan Constantinescu will take up the | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
voluntary post in the New Year. It coincides with the lifting of | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
restrictions on Romanian workers. I doubt there will be the sort of | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
invasion that some of the press is referring to. I doubt that it will | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
be huge numbers. Simply because most of the Romanians who want to come | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
over to Britain, to set up in business or to explore working | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
opportunities, have already done so. And he says he wants to use his time | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
in office to twin Bristol with a city in Romania and to set up a | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
direct flight from Bristol Airport. Now football. Not much Christmas | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
cheer for Yeovil Town. They lost 3`0 at Bournemouth. A result that leaves | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
them three points from safety in the Championship. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
In League One, Swindon lost 3`2 at Bedford, despite twice being in | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
front with goals from Ryan Mason and Nicky Ajose. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Steve Cotterill has won his first league game in charge of Bristol | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
City. Sam Baldock's early penalty was enough to give them a 1`0 win | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
over Walsall and take them off the bottom of the table. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
The same scoreline at Cheltenham. They beat Exeter thanks to an early | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
strike from Jamie Cureton. And Bristol Rovers drew 1`1 at | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Torquay. Matt Harrold scored the equaliser for Rovers. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
There has been more success for Somerset racehorse trainer Paul | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Nicholls. Silvaniaco Conti won the King George VI Chase at Kempton | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
That gave Nicholls his eighth win in the prestigious race. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
We are all bracing ourselves for the possibility of more bad weather | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Here is Ian with the forecast. Good evening. Another bout of wet | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
and windy weather during the course of tonight. Another Met Office | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
weather warning in force for real form `` for instance. Potentially | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
ten ` 20 millimetres, and possibly 30 millimetres. It will continue in | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
showers tomorrow. And through tonight, some heavy rain for many, | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
continuing for a while, but clearing into the early hours. A windy spell | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
developing as well. Just of up to 50 mph inland, possibly 60 mph further | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
west. Temperatures up to six Celsius. Tomorrow, the early rain | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
clearers, then some blustery showers, some heavy rain in places, | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
adding some more water locally, hence the weather warning continuing | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
tomorrow. Temperatures about nine or 10 Celsius. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
I am back just after ten o'clock with another update. Hope to see you | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
then. Good night. Hello there, most of us have had a | :04:59. | :05:10. | |
quiet Boxing Day, mostly dry, chilly, lingering mist, light winds. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
That is all about to change. The next storm arriving on our doorstep | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
right now, over night tonight will see wet and windy weather. The winds | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
peak tomorrow lunchtime. It has started raining in Cornwall, the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
rain will sweep eastwards. For all of us overnight wet and windy | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
weather. Snow to the Pennines. For most of us wet and very windy. | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
40-50mph gusts inland, 60-70mph around exposed coasts. Any extra | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
rain will be unwelcome particularly for those most prone areas across | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
parts of southern England and up into East Anglia. 10mm inland, 0mm | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
around the coast. The rain could well linger for a time across the | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
south-east. It will clear. Brightness, but a whole lot of | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
showers wrapped around the centre of the low pressure across the west of | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Scotland. It will not feel all that cam foshl out there. Particularly | :06:09. | :06:09. |
