:00:00. > :00:08.Welcome to BBC Points West with Alex Lovell and Sabet Choudhury.

:00:09. > :00:13.Our main story tonight: Did hospital staff do enough to save his life?

:00:14. > :00:22.The grieving parents of a four year old say he was let down by shambolic

:00:23. > :00:25.care. We truly believe, had we gone to a different centre, he would be

:00:26. > :00:27.alive today. The Bristol Children's Hospital

:00:28. > :00:29.finds itself under the spotlight ` we report from the opening day of

:00:30. > :00:40.the inquest. Also in tonight's programme: Could

:00:41. > :00:48.dredging the rivers have saved Somerset businesses from the floods?

:00:49. > :00:51.Underprivileged and underdeveloped ` why the poorest in Cheltenham are

:00:52. > :00:55.falling behind. And it could be disappearing from a

:00:56. > :00:56.menu near you ` why Gloucestershire farmers fear for the future of

:00:57. > :01:07.goat's cheese. Good evening. The parents of a child

:01:08. > :01:10.who died after undergoing heart surgery in Bristol have told an

:01:11. > :01:13.inquest his care was shambolic and nurses did not have enough time to

:01:14. > :01:17.give him the treatment he desperately needed. Sean Turner died

:01:18. > :01:24.at Bristol Children's Hospital in March 2012. This is the second of a

:01:25. > :01:27.series of inquests looking into the deaths of children who had heart

:01:28. > :01:37.surgery at the unit. Our health correspondent Matthew Hill reports.

:01:38. > :01:41.He was very active, very full on. To look at him, you wouldn't know he

:01:42. > :01:43.had a heart condition. He considered himself to be Spiderman and was

:01:44. > :01:51.jumping and climbing everywhere He loved foot wall and swimming. He

:01:52. > :01:54.loved the skate park. `` football. It was to be a very emotional day

:01:55. > :01:58.for Yolande and Steve. There were tears as they recalled how their

:01:59. > :02:02.four year old, Sean, was treated after a heart operation in Bristol.

:02:03. > :02:05.They say pressure on beds in intensive care meant Sean had to be

:02:06. > :02:16.discharged onto this cardiac ward after only 18 hours of one`to`one

:02:17. > :02:23.nursing. He was obviously quite critical, to us, and had a lot of

:02:24. > :02:26.needs. There were no nurses around. He deteriorated and had a cardiac

:02:27. > :02:29.arrest. The inquest heard that after three days on Ward 32, Sean

:02:30. > :02:33.underwent further surgery to remove a build`up of fluid around his heart

:02:34. > :02:42.and was returned back to the ward ` despite their pleas for him to go

:02:43. > :02:49.intensive care. We begged for four days to go back to intensive care

:02:50. > :02:52.but nobody listened. We could see the monitors on his bedside and we

:02:53. > :02:57.could see them alarming at the desk that there was nobody there. We had

:02:58. > :03:00.to leave him and go running off to find a nurse. Sean was then admitted

:03:01. > :03:04.back to intensive care but four weeks later he died of a massive

:03:05. > :03:06.bleed in his brain. A hospital review into his death highlights

:03:07. > :03:09.sub`optimal nursing staff on the ward, a failure to recognise his

:03:10. > :03:17.deteriorating condition, and poor communication with his parents.

:03:18. > :03:21.Today, statements were read out from nursing staff and doctors. They say

:03:22. > :03:29.they were regularly checking up on Sean's condition on Ward 32 and

:03:30. > :03:33.responding where appropriate. A statement by one of the consultant

:03:34. > :03:38.cardiologists in charge of Sean s care was read out. He said he was

:03:39. > :03:41.deeply sorry that they were not able to get on top of what was a

:03:42. > :03:45.well`known complication of this type of surgery. The inquest is due to

:03:46. > :03:51.end next Wednesday. Well, Matthew Hill joins us now

:03:52. > :03:55.Matthew, this is a very sad individual case but it's not the

:03:56. > :04:01.only one involving Ward 32, is it? No, you may remember the case just

:04:02. > :04:05.before Christmas of Luke Jenkins, a seven`year`old from Wales, who had

:04:06. > :04:10.an operation and died in similar circumstances on the same ward, with

:04:11. > :04:13.his parents having the same sort of complaints. There was a hospital

:04:14. > :04:18.report that was quite damning of staffing levels. Nevertheless, the

:04:19. > :04:27.coroner ruled that there was no gross negligence, although we should

:04:28. > :04:32.welcome the changes that were put in place after these cases, including a

:04:33. > :04:36.high dependency unit. The Care Quality Commission said that should

:04:37. > :04:41.happen. There are other inquest coming up ` three that I know of,

:04:42. > :04:45.whose families are not happy. They are considering legal action. Some

:04:46. > :04:47.are to do with cardiological procedures. Thank you.

:04:48. > :04:50.Investigations are continuing following the discovery of the

:04:51. > :04:54.bodies of two men at Purton Canal in Gloucestershire. A police helicopter

:04:55. > :04:58.was called to the scene yesterday morning. One body had to be pulled

:04:59. > :05:03.from the water, and the other was found on the towpath. Their deaths

:05:04. > :05:06.aren't being treated as suspicious. The Environment Agency has warned

:05:07. > :05:12.tonight that more forecast rain could bring further flooding to the

:05:13. > :05:15.Somerset Levels. Water levels on the moorland are falling slightly. But

:05:16. > :05:19.roads remain closed, houses are still waterlogged and one village is

:05:20. > :05:23.still cut off. Tonight, Inside Out asks why the situation has become so

:05:24. > :05:29.bad and talks to those whose livelihoods have been seriously

:05:30. > :05:35.affected. Here's Clinton Rogers James Winslade's family have farmed

:05:36. > :05:39.on the Levels for 150 years. Only three times in living memory has

:05:40. > :05:46.their farm flooded ` all since since 2000. Taking Inside Out presenter

:05:47. > :05:58.Alistair McKee to a high vantage point, he explained what he thought

:05:59. > :06:02.was the reason. This is where the two rivers merge. It's like a

:06:03. > :06:06.motorway. When you've got two lanes going down to one lane, you get a

:06:07. > :06:09.pile`up, and this is where you've got all the traffic flowing out over

:06:10. > :06:13.either side because it cannot get away. That, he says, is quite simply

:06:14. > :06:17.because 20 years ago they stopped dredging the rivers ` clearing them

:06:18. > :06:20.of a build up of silt which comes in daily with the tide of the Severn

:06:21. > :06:24.Estuary. If you leave it, what happens is the rivers clog up and

:06:25. > :06:29.hold less water. The result, say many on the Levels, is this. The

:06:30. > :06:35.Environment Agency is the organisation responsible for our

:06:36. > :06:39.rivers. When I cornered Lord Smith, the then chairman of the Agency on

:06:40. > :06:50.a visit to Somerset a year ago he did commit to dredging ` eventually.

:06:51. > :06:53.What we need to do is find out here where the best places to dredge are

:06:54. > :07:03.going to be, then we'll get on and do it. That will be as as soon as

:07:04. > :07:05.possible. When? Er... I would certainly be very disappointed if we

:07:06. > :07:08.weren't seeing some improvement happening in the course of the next

:07:09. > :07:12.six months. But all that has happened since is a pilot project on

:07:13. > :07:16.small sections of the rivers The agency has agreed further dredging

:07:17. > :07:25.would ease flooding. But there's no money for it. They reckon that

:07:26. > :07:31.stretch just ten kilometres `` dredge just dangle metres of these

:07:32. > :07:37.rivers would cost tens of thousands of pounds. They have not raise

:07:38. > :07:43.enough money yet. No money, no dredging. We could be back here next

:07:44. > :07:50.year. The arguments will be explored in more detail on inside out micro

:07:51. > :07:54.`` on Inside Out tonight at 7:3 pm. A mother from Bristol has been

:07:55. > :07:57.talking about how her baby was taken away from her ` after incorrect

:07:58. > :08:00.concerns that he was being abused. Little Harrison was just six weeks

:08:01. > :08:04.old when his parents took him to hospital, where doctors noticed that

:08:05. > :08:08.he had multiple fractured bones He was removed from his parents. But it

:08:09. > :08:11.was only 18 months later that they realised the injuries were a result

:08:12. > :08:16.of a medical condition ` and not abuse. Laura Jones has been looking

:08:17. > :08:23.into this and is here now with more. Laura.

:08:24. > :08:27.This dates back to February 200 , when Amy Howell took her son

:08:28. > :08:32.Harrison to hospital. He hadn't been well for a while but nobody knew

:08:33. > :08:36.why. Doctors noticed he had lots of fractures to various bones, which

:08:37. > :08:41.led to suspicions of abuse and ultimately to his being taken away

:08:42. > :08:45.from his parents. A paediatrician came rushing into the room with

:08:46. > :08:49.three other staff members and the atmosphere had completely changed

:08:50. > :08:56.from there. She was vicious, really vicious. "You've done something

:08:57. > :09:03.someone has abused this boy. You must have caused the fractures" . I

:09:04. > :09:06.broke down in tears. The council in charge of this case is South

:09:07. > :09:15.Gloucestershire. In a statement today they said... They also said

:09:16. > :09:19.they had a duty to ensure children were safeguarded. They said they

:09:20. > :09:23.regret the distress the investigation caused to the family.

:09:24. > :09:27.Harrison and his older sister, who had been sent to live with her

:09:28. > :09:32.grandmother, were returned to them 18 months later after it was that

:09:33. > :09:35.Harrison was suffering from a genetic condition and severe that

:09:36. > :09:47.indeed efficiency, which explained his injuries. `` severe vitamin D

:09:48. > :09:51.deficiency. Across the UK, 10,2 8 applications were made to take

:09:52. > :09:58.children away from their parents. That was 11% higher than in 201 .

:09:59. > :10:00.These figures come from Cafcass the organisation that looks after the

:10:01. > :10:04.interests of children in the family courts. They say that following

:10:05. > :10:09.recent high`profile cases, local authorities are under pressure to

:10:10. > :10:12.act. I think we have a responsibility to make our family

:10:13. > :10:20.courts better, to make them more transparent, to build public

:10:21. > :10:23.confidence in them and to advocate leaving them altogether doesn't

:10:24. > :10:26.solve the problem for the vast majority of children and parents who

:10:27. > :10:32.need our courts to be as good as they possibly can be. Harrison, who

:10:33. > :10:35.is now six, still has the same condition and does still have pain

:10:36. > :10:40.in his bones but is receiving treatment. And you can see more on

:10:41. > :10:43.his story ` and similar ones ` on I Want My Baby Back ` A Panorama

:10:44. > :10:49.Special. That's at nine o'clock tonight on BBC One.

:10:50. > :10:53.It's a blustering Monday evening and we're glad you can join us. Ian will

:10:54. > :11:02.be here with the weather round`up shortly.

:11:03. > :11:07.A perfect storm continent means that here in Gloucestershire there is

:11:08. > :11:12.even work for these guys. `` perfect storm on the continent.

:11:13. > :11:15.Cheltenham may be known for its affluent image but experts say

:11:16. > :11:22.problems in the town's deprived areas can be worse than elsewhere.

:11:23. > :11:25.Some young children who grow up in the face of poverty can be up to two

:11:26. > :11:29.years behind in their development. But those who work with parents in

:11:30. > :11:32.the town say more of them are being offered help which is making a

:11:33. > :11:36.difference. Here's our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve

:11:37. > :11:40.Knibbs. In parts of Cheltenham, a third of

:11:41. > :11:43.children live in poverty. That doesn't mean they'll be badly

:11:44. > :11:48.brought up but, in a few cases, it does affect their development. Some

:11:49. > :11:52.children as old as three in the town can't talk properly and others lack

:11:53. > :11:55.confidence. At this children's centre, staff are working hard to

:11:56. > :12:04.instil the fundamentals of parenting to those that need it. Society is so

:12:05. > :12:07.dependent on technology, I think people have moved away from good

:12:08. > :12:12.conversations with their children, telling stories, using every

:12:13. > :12:15.opportunity to develop language It's so important coming into

:12:16. > :12:20.nurseries and schools because we're feeding these children into

:12:21. > :12:23.schools. They need a chance to be equal to everyone else. It's all

:12:24. > :12:30.about opportunity and the challenge here is getting parents involved.

:12:31. > :12:33.This woman and her partner live on benefits. Initially she didn't feel

:12:34. > :12:36.the need to get a help but, in hindsight, coming here before she

:12:37. > :12:48.even gave birth made a huge difference. It developed my skills

:12:49. > :12:55.as a mum. When I was pregnant, I did a course called Parents With

:12:56. > :12:59.Prospects, which developed awareness of the development needs of

:13:00. > :13:05.children. It taught me a lot. The littlest things that you might think

:13:06. > :13:09.our common`sense. Barnardo's says a family with two adults and two

:13:10. > :13:13.children under 13 needs just over ?300 a week after paying the rent to

:13:14. > :13:17.be above the poverty line. So in deprived areas of Cheltenham,

:13:18. > :13:22.financial help is vital to help children whose families struggle.

:13:23. > :13:28.?80,000 a year going to one grammar school alone and they are spending

:13:29. > :13:32.that very well, on things that make a difference, like social workers

:13:33. > :13:38.extra maths and, support the parents. Organisations that work

:13:39. > :13:42.with parents in Cheltenham say more of them are asking for help. It s

:13:43. > :13:45.better for the children and makes the job of mum and dad what it

:13:46. > :13:48.should be ` rewarding. And you can hear more about the

:13:49. > :13:51.issues surrounding Cheltenham's poverty gap throughout the week with

:13:52. > :13:55.our colleagues on BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

:13:56. > :13:59.Now for a bright idea that could help save lives. It's a new type of

:14:00. > :14:05.light for cyclists which uses a laser to help drivers spot them on

:14:06. > :14:13.the roads. Ali Vowles is in Bath and has been finding out how it all

:14:14. > :14:19.works. Ali, what do you think? Well, as a cyclist, Sabet, I would

:14:20. > :14:23.have to say I put any light on because having been knocked off

:14:24. > :14:29.myself, I dress like a Christmas tree ` a neon Christmas tree. This

:14:30. > :14:33.is how the laser is going to look. There is a bicycle you can see on

:14:34. > :14:38.the pavement. It's to show drivers that a bike is coming. All the

:14:39. > :14:42.people I've spoken to today think it is a brilliant idea but some think

:14:43. > :14:47.it's pointless. I thought you could make up your own opinion. Look at

:14:48. > :14:51.this. It's not always easy sharing the

:14:52. > :14:56.road. Cyclists and drivers can have very different views on who should

:14:57. > :15:00.be where and when. Hundreds of cyclists are killed or seriously

:15:01. > :15:04.injured each year but young Bath entrepreneur Emily Brooke thinks

:15:05. > :15:07.she's come up with a solution. It tackles the biggest cause of

:15:08. > :15:13.vitality, the blind spot, or vehicles turning across an unseen

:15:14. > :15:16.bike. 79% Wykes hit our travelling straight ahead and somebody turns

:15:17. > :15:21.into them. So this is a front facing light that you have to have by law.

:15:22. > :15:26.It's brighter and it's not flashing and it also has a laser. It projects

:15:27. > :15:30.the symbol of a bike onto the road in front of you. And it's this that

:15:31. > :15:36.warns the driver a cyclist is approaching. Emily also thinks it'll

:15:37. > :15:40.be a help to drivers waiting at a junction and also for pedestrians

:15:41. > :15:44.waiting to cross the road. But can a laser be saved to the human eye

:15:45. > :15:49.It's got a diffractive optical element, which disperses the light

:15:50. > :15:57.and makes it completely safe for eyes. ?50,000 was raised to get the

:15:58. > :16:02.idea of the ground. A factory in China is already in production. In

:16:03. > :16:07.the last few days, she's been in Las Vegas pitching the idea at the

:16:08. > :16:13.finals of a massive tech conference. Her pitch got her through to the

:16:14. > :16:20.final four. Not bad for a West Country girl. Initial reactions seem

:16:21. > :16:24.positive. I think it's a great idea and really does address the serious

:16:25. > :16:29.problem for cyclists, so anything that can improve cycle safety is a

:16:30. > :16:33.great thing. It's a simple idea possibly saving lives by being seen.

:16:34. > :16:38.It will be put to the test when the first batch goes on sale at the end

:16:39. > :16:42.of the month. Sometimes the best ideas are the

:16:43. > :16:49.simple ones but it's not cheap. Emily, it's going to retail at about

:16:50. > :16:54.?125 ` will be bored by it? Of the cyclist is open to, yes, they will.

:16:55. > :16:58.The technology inside is very expensive, especially the laser

:16:59. > :17:03.We're making a very small batch for the first run so as volumes grow,

:17:04. > :17:07.hopefully the price will come down. It's a complicated bit of kit. We

:17:08. > :17:11.decided to put one Bath cyclist of the test. In this particular

:17:12. > :17:18.picture, it will be flashing so if that affects you, be warned. Nigel

:17:19. > :17:22.had a trip around the Guildhall to see what he thought of it. It's

:17:23. > :17:28.quite wet so it makes the road conditions different again. Nigel,

:17:29. > :17:32.what did you make of it? I think it's very interesting. What this

:17:33. > :17:36.could give you as a cyclist is a bit of forward reach. If you've found

:17:37. > :17:38.yourself in a position where you're down the left`hand side of a large

:17:39. > :17:43.vehicle and can't be seen, you're reaching out ahead of you. It's

:17:44. > :17:52.something a driver might see. Having said that, as a cyclist, you want to

:17:53. > :17:56.avoid that and be out in the lane. Out of ten? I'd say seven and what I

:17:57. > :18:04.really like is the research behind it. Seven out of ten is not bad for

:18:05. > :18:08.your first project. I got a first at university. This was a university

:18:09. > :18:12.project a couple of years ago and it's been a busy couple of years.

:18:13. > :18:17.I've learned a lot. I've never done this before, never had a company.

:18:18. > :18:21.All the things I've been learning in the last couple of years means you

:18:22. > :18:25.put yourself in a position to learn and you find people who know and ask

:18:26. > :18:29.a lot of questions. A lot of people have the idea but never get this

:18:30. > :18:34.far. And you're selling through a major retailer in the next few

:18:35. > :18:39.weeks? Yes, through Evans. And also on my own website. The light does

:18:40. > :18:44.shine bright and it might help save lives.

:18:45. > :18:47.In the meantime, Alison, you stay being a Christmas tree on wheels.

:18:48. > :18:50.Their European Cup hopes are over for this season, but Gloucester s

:18:51. > :18:52.director of rugby says their improved performance this weekend

:18:53. > :18:56.has set a benchmark. They were beaten 20 points to seven by group

:18:57. > :19:00.leaders Munster, and must now concentrate on securing a spot in

:19:01. > :19:08.Europe's second tier competition. Alistair Durden reports.

:19:09. > :19:12.They packed to the ground capacity to, hoping to see the side restore

:19:13. > :19:20.some pride after strong criticism of recent home performances. Their

:19:21. > :19:25.quarterfinal hopes rested on beating the two time European champions

:19:26. > :19:29.Munster. The early reception was encouraging enough, even if the

:19:30. > :19:37.finishing was wayward. That allowed Munster to open up a ten point lead

:19:38. > :19:41.with the game's first try. Charlie Sharples, who was overlooked by

:19:42. > :19:49.England last week, gave Kings home a half`time lift. But Gloucester

:19:50. > :19:55.failed to convert any of their second`half territory into points,

:19:56. > :19:58.as Munster's defence held firm. When the tables were turned, Munster gave

:19:59. > :20:04.a lesson in finishing to seal the victory. The character, the spirit,

:20:05. > :20:09.the effort ` that's the benchmark for the rest of the season at the

:20:10. > :20:14.very least. We've showed we can do it in glimpses but it's making that

:20:15. > :20:17.consistent. This was a seventh defeat at Kingsholm this season in

:20:18. > :20:22.all competitions but the supporters, it's time there were

:20:23. > :20:27.grounds for optimism. The scoreline didn't reflect the actual play. We

:20:28. > :20:32.were beaten by a side that didn t play particularly well. I thought we

:20:33. > :20:38.fronted up. I'm pleased with our performance. A few mistakes that

:20:39. > :20:42.that's been our season. They showed a real commitment, really tore into

:20:43. > :20:46.Munster and showed determination. If Gloucester can put in my performance

:20:47. > :20:49.for the rest of the season, sides are going to have a very difficult

:20:50. > :20:54.time when they come to Kingsholm. They have to beat a French team this

:20:55. > :20:57.weekend to stand any chance of getting a place in the European

:20:58. > :21:00.challenge cup. England's cricketing prospects may

:21:01. > :21:04.not be too bright at the moment but one Somerset teenager is hoping to

:21:05. > :21:21.change things. Aadil Rashid hopes to become the country's next 90 mile an

:21:22. > :21:24.hour fast bowler. He may have hung up his boots but

:21:25. > :21:30.Stephan Jones has now turned his attention to the next generation and

:21:31. > :21:35.in Aadil Rashid, he's found the perfect pupil. He has the most

:21:36. > :21:39.biomechanical efficient action I've seen in any youngster and is really

:21:40. > :21:44.explosive at the crease. He's got a long delivery stride, a great delay

:21:45. > :21:48.on the bright side of his body. He uses stored energy in his right

:21:49. > :21:54.side, in his pelvis and tips, and he can bowl genuinely quickly. Aadil

:21:55. > :21:59.has just turned 16 and has moved to Wellington school to take advantage

:22:00. > :22:04.of his mental's expertise. Body wise I'm still maturing and I'm learning

:22:05. > :22:11.every day. His training is tailored for power and speed. But is bowling

:22:12. > :22:16.at 90 mph a realistic goal? With the structure I've got, I think it's a

:22:17. > :22:22.very credible goal to achieve. With his natural ability, I believe he

:22:23. > :22:27.can do it. England are crying out for fast bowlers. What's it like

:22:28. > :22:32.being at the other end? I'll tell you what, put your money where your

:22:33. > :22:38.mouth is. Get in there and face him. Sensibly, I declined. Well, would

:22:39. > :22:43.you? ! Absolutely not! Finally, some

:22:44. > :22:48.positive cricketing news from Australia, where Bath's Anya

:22:49. > :22:52.Shrubsole starred as the England women's team won their Ashes test.

:22:53. > :23:00.She took three wickets as the Aussies were bowled out for 123 to

:23:01. > :23:04.hand England victory by 61 runs What if you take a popular French

:23:05. > :23:09.delicacy, which has a supply problem from the continent, and add in a

:23:10. > :23:13.fast`growing market in China? The cheeky face gives it away! You've

:23:14. > :23:17.got a perfect recipe for a boom in demand in goat's cheese. West

:23:18. > :23:24.Country farmers are poised to take full advantage.

:23:25. > :23:33.It's a chef's favourite. Crumbly, yet Cook a ball. Feisty yet friable.

:23:34. > :23:38.`` able to be cooked. There is barely a restaurant without this on

:23:39. > :23:44.its ` goat's cheese, we just can't seem to get enough. But at the

:23:45. > :23:49.moment, we really can't! This is part of the problem. Not this goat,

:23:50. > :23:54.nor those in France and Holland but right now there is not enough

:23:55. > :23:57.goat's milk to meet demand. The producers have struggled to keep

:23:58. > :24:01.reducing the amount they weren't reducing because of disease

:24:02. > :24:05.outbreaks. French farmers reduced the amount of milk they produce

:24:06. > :24:10.because of the price so that, coupled with increasing demand for

:24:11. > :24:15.goat's milk and goat's milk cheese in the UK, has led to this perfect

:24:16. > :24:18.storm. Added to that extra demand from China and it creates a huge

:24:19. > :24:23.opportunity for farmers and producers over here. A shortage of

:24:24. > :24:29.goat's milk also means a shortage of goat's cheese. In the 1980s it was a

:24:30. > :24:34.very small niche product, only in health food shops. But now it's

:24:35. > :24:37.expanded and goat's cheese and milk and butter is everywhere, in every

:24:38. > :24:42.supermarket. There is a limit to how much we can make here. We could

:24:43. > :24:46.probably sell two or three times as much. We really can't get enough of

:24:47. > :24:54.it and nor can the French. Producers here are hoping they really can get

:24:55. > :25:02.a bigger slice of the cheese market. Imagine the shock and horror of not

:25:03. > :25:03.having goat's cheese tonight! Headline news, I think you'll

:25:04. > :25:11.agree! I can't stand cheese at all so I'm

:25:12. > :25:17.not the slightest bit of it. We have further rain on the way

:25:18. > :25:21.during the course of the week. The jury is out as to what will happen

:25:22. > :25:24.as we get past the weekend into the following week. Forecast models are

:25:25. > :25:30.chopping and changing between something colder and something

:25:31. > :25:33.milder but drier. For tomorrow at least, good continuity in our

:25:34. > :25:37.expectations ` it looks like a decent day. Try and bright weather

:25:38. > :25:40.but more patchy rain into the evening. The amounts are not looking

:25:41. > :25:46.troublesome compared to what we ve had of late. Some of you have seen

:25:47. > :25:50.that today in the form of Sharia law breaks of rain and as that freezes

:25:51. > :25:54.over on a chilly night, we have the Met Office warning out across all of

:25:55. > :26:00.our district for the threat of ice on untreated surfaces. This trough

:26:01. > :26:06.moves and this area of showery rain gathers eastwards. This ridge of

:26:07. > :26:10.high pressure clears the skies, particularly the further west you

:26:11. > :26:17.are. It remains a decent story until this front moves in tomorrow

:26:18. > :26:20.morning. For the rest of this evening, some of you have seen heavy

:26:21. > :26:25.downpours and they continue across parts of Wiltshire, parts of

:26:26. > :26:32.Somerset, and that are typically as a night years on. In the east to the

:26:33. > :26:35.skies will take longer to clear and the net result of that will mean

:26:36. > :26:40.grey skies and merge in the West with colder temperatures. A little

:26:41. > :26:46.bit higher out towards the East but not by much. It chilly night for all

:26:47. > :26:50.of us and temperatures get down to freezing and perhaps below that in

:26:51. > :26:54.parts of Somerset. Some patchy fog around first thing tomorrow morning.

:26:55. > :27:01.A good deal of sunshine tomorrow morning and it will turn quite hazy.

:27:02. > :27:08.A lot of cloud around. The outbreaks of rain will be a feature as the

:27:09. > :27:14.evening wears on. That's a real mixed bag! It has been

:27:15. > :27:19.all winter. And now we know a little bit more about Ian and his disregard

:27:20. > :27:23.for cheese! That's all from us. We are back

:27:24. > :27:26.later on. From all of us at Points West, good night.
