:00:00. > :00:00.If you have heard a rumour that things will get colder and sweet,
:00:07. > :00:10.Welcome to BBC Points West with David Garmston and Imogen Sellers.
:00:11. > :00:15.Our main story tonight. A cry for help from the Somerset Levels. The
:00:16. > :00:21.Council declares a Major Incident with the hope of securing aid from
:00:22. > :00:26.the rest of the UK. The predictions are, more people
:00:27. > :00:33.will be flooded this weekend, 2 0 ` 300 people will be further affected
:00:34. > :00:36.this weekend. We need outside help. But what does the phrase Major
:00:37. > :00:38.Incident actually mean? What difference will it make to people
:00:39. > :00:51.here? Our other stories tonight: The care
:00:52. > :00:55.home worker who raped three residents, now it's revealed he d
:00:56. > :00:58.been arrested in the past. The Last Temptation Of Christ, why a
:00:59. > :01:04.film that many Christians find offensive is to be screened inside
:01:05. > :01:09.Wells Cathedral. The picture it portrays is distorted, incorrect and
:01:10. > :01:16.glass from us. That is not something a cathedral should be showing.
:01:17. > :01:21.And no stopping her now, a World Cup for Bath's Lizzy Yarnold. Next, it's
:01:22. > :01:28.the Winter Olympics. Good evening. The floods on the
:01:29. > :01:31.Somerset Levels have been officially declared a Major Incident by the
:01:32. > :01:35.local council, in the hope that the rest of the United Kingdom will now
:01:36. > :01:38.come to their aid. Parts of the county have been underwater for
:01:39. > :01:41.weeks and Somerset Council wants outside assistance to cope with the
:01:42. > :01:44.scale of the emergency. But there's confusion about what the cry for
:01:45. > :01:55.help actually means. Clinton Rogers in on the Levels tonight.
:01:56. > :02:00.You are right. There is a fusion. What does that mean? It depends on
:02:01. > :02:05.who you ask. It is sending a government to `` to government and
:02:06. > :02:09.anyone else that is listing that we have a problem that is not going
:02:10. > :02:16.away, and a problem that is getting worse. Maybe the military can help,
:02:17. > :02:24.possibly. What ever form the help takes, it is desperately needed
:02:25. > :02:31.The knock at the door that no`one wants. Good afternoon. This
:02:32. > :02:37.afternoon, the fire service were going door to door, warning around
:02:38. > :02:41.30 household owners that their homes were now at risk. Day and night the
:02:42. > :02:50.Environment Agency is pumping water off of the Moore's. As the rain
:02:51. > :02:57.continues to fall, so in places the water continues to rise. Declaring
:02:58. > :03:01.this a Major Incident should open the door for more help coming in. We
:03:02. > :03:06.are not getting on top of it and more water is on the way. We are
:03:07. > :03:10.saying to the government, we need outside help, whether that is the
:03:11. > :03:15.military coming into assist, we have had too many roads blocked for far
:03:16. > :03:19.too long. But those at risk cannot help `` wait for help from the
:03:20. > :03:25.outside. They are preparing for the worst. This man is making plans to
:03:26. > :03:30.evacuate his home. We are getting ready to evacuate. My son and his
:03:31. > :03:35.family are coming down to help us today to put things up on bricks and
:03:36. > :03:37.do what we can do indoors to alleviate the problem. Amid
:03:38. > :03:42.increasingly bitter rows about who is to blame for all of this, people
:03:43. > :03:47.affected by the floods staged a protest of this afternoon outside
:03:48. > :03:50.the offices of the Environment Agency, the organisation they say
:03:51. > :03:57.has turned the problem into a crisis. We have been hung out to
:03:58. > :04:00.dry. They are not interested. It is the responsibility of the
:04:01. > :04:04.Environment Agency to stop this happening again and to dredge the
:04:05. > :04:07.rivers. The agency says they are doing everything they can in the
:04:08. > :04:12.face of exceptional weather, but they say the floods will not be
:04:13. > :04:16.going down anytime soon. The system is so full that it is not going to
:04:17. > :04:24.go away in the next fortnight. It will be with us for at least a
:04:25. > :04:28.month. Really, it is the long haul. Not a message that goes down well
:04:29. > :04:34.here. With more heavy rain forecast for the weekend, anger is turning to
:04:35. > :04:42.fear. Joining me now is an MP. Let me ask
:04:43. > :04:47.you, people are asking what this means. What sort of help? Could we
:04:48. > :04:51.actually the army boots on the ground here? It is quite likely I
:04:52. > :04:58.have spoken to military people today. What could they do? We need
:04:59. > :05:04.more capacity. We need more flood defenses brought in. We have not got
:05:05. > :05:07.that sort of capacity and the military have. We need people coming
:05:08. > :05:15.down from the Environment Agency to build up defenses. More importantly,
:05:16. > :05:19.we need to start talking about the recovery phase. This will eventually
:05:20. > :05:27.stop. We have to get the water out of here. Let's look at specifics. I
:05:28. > :05:31.am hearing about the main road into Glastonbury. Maybe the army could
:05:32. > :05:35.come in and build a bridge. I think that is realistic `` I do not think
:05:36. > :05:39.that is realistic but I think the Army could do an awful lot. They
:05:40. > :05:45.have enormous heavy lifting equipment and they could do that. It
:05:46. > :05:49.is easy to put this together. I have written to be Prime Minister twice
:05:50. > :05:53.today. We have asked for help and to see if he could come down and see
:05:54. > :05:57.what the situation is like. There are people saying about with
:05:58. > :06:04.apologies to those who are affected, it is tens of people, not hundreds
:06:05. > :06:10.of people. That is rubbish. You have a 60,000 population in Thompson We
:06:11. > :06:15.are actually getting water rising still. This is not the case that
:06:16. > :06:20.there is nothing here. We have a main railway line, we have a main
:06:21. > :06:28.road into the West country on the other side. This is ridiculous. The
:06:29. > :06:32.dormant except that, and that is `` the government except that. We know
:06:33. > :06:37.that dredging is an issue. Thank you very much indeed. The rain continues
:06:38. > :06:42.to fall and more is forecast for Sunday. People here are fearing the
:06:43. > :06:46.worst but hoping for the best. Please give our best wishes to those
:06:47. > :06:50.affected their full up thank you. Well, heavy rain is forecast over
:06:51. > :06:56.the weekend. Ian, just how bad is it looking?
:06:57. > :07:01.Regrettably, this truck behind me is just a snapshot. It looks like a map
:07:02. > :07:07.of the Mediterranean. Not a pretty picture for those people in the
:07:08. > :07:15.Somerset Levels. You will have more on that later in the programme.
:07:16. > :07:20.A burst water main has been causing problems for drivers in the centre
:07:21. > :07:23.of Portishead. The damage led to flooding on a section around the
:07:24. > :07:26.high street. Some homes were left without water this afternoon.
:07:27. > :07:29.Bristol Water says it's working to fix the problem.
:07:30. > :07:31.Points West can reveal that a care worker who raped vulnerable women
:07:32. > :07:37.from Gloucestershire had been arrested several years before over
:07:38. > :07:40.an allegation of sexual assault Colin Stokes denied that allegation
:07:41. > :07:43.pleaded guilty in court yesterday to attacks on three women, but now
:07:44. > :07:45.questions are being asked about whether he'd abused before. Our
:07:46. > :07:52.Health Correspondent Matthew Hill has been talking to the mother of
:07:53. > :07:58.one victim. She did this one last week. I asked
:07:59. > :08:02.her this is a picture of `` I asked her who this is a picture of and she
:08:03. > :08:06.said it was Colin, and it is disturbing that he is still on her
:08:07. > :08:10.mind. This woman's daughter will never forget Colin Stokes. She was
:08:11. > :08:13.in her early 30s when she was raped by him, but had the mental age of a
:08:14. > :08:16.six`year`old. Though Stokes's conviction yesterday was for crimes
:08:17. > :08:20.which happened since 2012, questions are now being asked about whether
:08:21. > :08:24.there could be more victims. This woman's sister was at the care home
:08:25. > :08:32.seven years ago, when Stokes was arrested by police. He sexually
:08:33. > :08:35.assaulted another female resident, and my sister was witness as it
:08:36. > :08:39.happened on the stairs. Because of the nature of the disability, I do
:08:40. > :08:44.not think there was enough evidence. The manager at that time said that
:08:45. > :08:49.particular person who made that I `` allegation is always making things
:08:50. > :08:55.up will stop he came back to work, but alarm bells should have been
:08:56. > :08:58.set. `` making things up. Stokes denied any wrongdoing and was never
:08:59. > :09:02.charged. Obtaining credible evidence from vulnerable adults is
:09:03. > :09:05.notoriously difficult. This former head of public protection for Avon
:09:06. > :09:09.and Somerset Police says a lack of evidence means cases are often
:09:10. > :09:14.dropped. Is such an allegation is made, and the burden of proof is not
:09:15. > :09:18.reached for someone to be barred from working with vulnerable adults
:09:19. > :09:23.but the allegation still retains credibility, in other words, it is
:09:24. > :09:26.believable, I think at absolute minimum there should be a clear
:09:27. > :09:34.action plan to manage the potential risk. Years ago, we had a situation
:09:35. > :09:40.where these allegations would be collected and we could see a picture
:09:41. > :09:44.built up about possible perpetrators. That has gotten lost
:09:45. > :09:49.along the way. In this case it took a specialist
:09:50. > :09:54.team to collect the evidence. It was the interview at the police
:09:55. > :09:57.headquarters. There was a specialist woman who deals with symbols and
:09:58. > :10:03.signs, and that is when she really indicated what happened to her.
:10:04. > :10:06.But none of this would have come to light without a whistle`blower who
:10:07. > :10:11.today told the BBC what had happened. One resident told me that
:10:12. > :10:15.Colin comes into her room at night and abuses her. She was devastated
:10:16. > :10:21.and I was absolutely gob smacked `` got smacked.
:10:22. > :10:24.Today the owners of the home told the BBC they are cooperating fully
:10:25. > :10:28.with the investigations. And the police said they have no plans to
:10:29. > :10:34.reopen the investigation into Stokes unless more victims come forward.
:10:35. > :10:38.The University of the West of England is taking legal action after
:10:39. > :10:45.an adult movie was filmed on its Frenchay campus. It was made last
:10:46. > :10:49.summer but staff were made aware of the film recently after seeing it
:10:50. > :10:52.mentioned on social media. The actors who took part were not
:10:53. > :10:54.students and the University is keen to distance itself from the
:10:55. > :10:58.production. Coming up in tonight's programme:
:10:59. > :11:01.We've something to put a smile on your face. It's slapstick time, and
:11:02. > :11:12.some of the country's top comedians are coming to town.
:11:13. > :11:15.A film which has been offending some churchgoers for a quarter of a
:11:16. > :11:24.century is being screened at Wells Cathedral this weekend. Martin
:11:25. > :11:27.Scorsese's The Last Temptation Of Christ includes scenes of Jesus
:11:28. > :11:30.which some believe are blasphemous. So why show it in these sacred
:11:31. > :11:34.surroundings? Scott Ellis has been finding out.
:11:35. > :11:41.Jesus, portrayed as human rather than divine. On release in 1988 it
:11:42. > :11:49.grabbed headlines worldwide. Director Martin Scorese,
:11:50. > :11:53.unapologetic. It deals with the spiritual struggle that Jesus goes
:11:54. > :12:00.through, between the spirit and the flash, just the way we go through
:12:01. > :12:03.it. `` the flash. On Saturday night, it's screened here at Wells
:12:04. > :12:10.Cathedral. And, like Scorese, the Dean isn't about to apologise. It
:12:11. > :12:18.was the director's intent, not to mock Jesus I'm a `` Jesus, he wanted
:12:19. > :12:23.to work in the church when he was younger. The Dean says the Cathedral
:12:24. > :12:26.is a space for everyone and has been throughout the centuries. But some
:12:27. > :12:32.have complained. The cathedral is a place for Jesus is glorified. That
:12:33. > :12:37.is the job of the Dean, to ensure that Jesus gets spoken of as the
:12:38. > :12:45.person of the Bible, as the Hope, the Redeemer, the saviour, the
:12:46. > :12:48.truth. That is what the cathedral should be proclaiming. Here, it
:12:49. > :12:53.seems, they are doing quite the opposite. That is really quite
:12:54. > :12:56.serious. Concerns surround scenes in the film where Jesus has
:12:57. > :13:00.hallucinations in which he marries and has children. It's being shown
:13:01. > :13:06.as part of this year's Bath Film Festival. If people want to show it
:13:07. > :13:09.in the cinema they can, but from my point of view, it is taking a
:13:10. > :13:13.spiritual film and putting it in a spiritual setting. It's unlikely
:13:14. > :13:17.Saturday's screening will cause the protests of old. This churchgoer
:13:18. > :13:21.summing up the views on the city's streets. If non`Christians are going
:13:22. > :13:27.into the cathedral to watch a film, that is good. Good to get them in
:13:28. > :13:31.there. Bums on seats, that is what it is all about. I am sorry I cannot
:13:32. > :13:35.be there to share the experience with you. Martin Scorcese's even
:13:36. > :13:38.recorded this introduction for tomorrow night's viewing. If you're
:13:39. > :13:41.going, listen out for the film's soundtrack. It was recorded by Peter
:13:42. > :13:56.Gabriel and stars the cathedral s choristers.
:13:57. > :13:59.A scientist in Bristol has come up with a way of mass producing
:14:00. > :14:02.drinking water that could one day help in disaster zones or even
:14:03. > :14:05.floods. The technology sucks contaminated water in and can make
:14:06. > :14:10.hundreds of litres clean each hour. Andrew Plant has more.
:14:11. > :14:14.This pond is full of all sorts of bacteria. We take the water out of
:14:15. > :14:20.this pond through this pipe, and it goes into the shed, and that is
:14:21. > :14:24.where we do the treatment. In the grounds of the University of the
:14:25. > :14:27.West of England, the beginnings of a new technology that could one day
:14:28. > :14:31.change the way we make drinkable water from the waste water around
:14:32. > :14:38.us. That is really, really, really smelly. Chlorine is commonly used
:14:39. > :14:40.across the world to purify large quantities of water which must then
:14:41. > :14:47.be filtered, but the chemical attacks the filtration system.
:14:48. > :14:53.Disinfected water is very expensive, and it requires chlorine. For
:14:54. > :15:00.producing thousands of litres in a short space of time, it is not
:15:01. > :15:03.possible. The hope here is that this new disinfectant, made from just
:15:04. > :15:06.salt and water, will mean easier and more abundant supplies. These were
:15:07. > :15:09.the scenes in Gloucestershire in 2007, when water supplies became
:15:10. > :15:15.contaminated by floods and overflowing sewage. Professor
:15:16. > :15:17.Reynolds hopes this early technology could transform humanitarian
:15:18. > :15:34.disasters abroad and those that happen much closer to home. Not too
:15:35. > :15:43.bad. The weekend has just begun. We are
:15:44. > :15:47.going to move on to the sport. A sportswoman who trains in Bath has
:15:48. > :15:49.become a World Cup winner today Alistair Durden is here with
:15:50. > :15:53.tonight's sport. Ali, this is in the Skeleton event
:15:54. > :15:57.isn't it? Yes, this is Lizzy Yarnold who's become the third British woman
:15:58. > :16:00.to wind the World Cup series. You can see she was pretty delighted.
:16:01. > :16:04.The final race was this morning in Germany. Let's take a look at how
:16:05. > :16:08.she got on. The conditions in Konigsee were tricky to say the
:16:09. > :16:13.least. She had such a big lead in the table that she only needed to
:16:14. > :16:17.finish her run to take the title. As it was the snow came down so hard
:16:18. > :16:22.after the first heat that they abandoned the second heat and she
:16:23. > :16:28.was crowned World Cup champion. It is amazing to say I and a World Cup
:16:29. > :16:35.champion. It is such an achievement. To be consistent with the seven
:16:36. > :16:39.podium finishes on a it is a record and such an achievement, and then to
:16:40. > :16:44.have this crystal globe for life, it is the best thing about my whole
:16:45. > :16:50.career, and hopefully the Olympics oh well as well. Fantastic news for
:16:51. > :16:53.her. It must set her up well for the Winter Olympics?
:16:54. > :17:02.I think she is a clear favourite are the gold medal. She finished on the
:17:03. > :17:06.podium in seven of the eight World Cup races, winning four of them She
:17:07. > :17:08.heads to Sochi as favourite for the gold medal.
:17:09. > :17:11.But don't discount Pewsey's Shelley Rudman. She finished the World Cup
:17:12. > :17:14.season in third place after another strong performance in Germany this
:17:15. > :17:17.morning. And her previous Olympic experience makes her a real force.
:17:18. > :17:19.Either way, it's great we have two genuinely good chances at winning
:17:20. > :17:23.medals next month. Very exciting as far as the gelatin
:17:24. > :17:30.is concerned. Let's have a week at `` look at the weekend football
:17:31. > :17:34.Yeovil Town have the chance to add to their growing list of FA Cup
:17:35. > :17:36.upsets when they travel to Premier League Southampton. In their
:17:37. > :17:39.non`league days, the Glovers beat over 20 league clubs in the
:17:40. > :17:42.competition. They even made their mascot a giant in recognition of
:17:43. > :17:46.those achievements. So who better, ahead of their biggest cup tie in a
:17:47. > :17:49.decade, to guide us through a potted history of their achievements?
:17:50. > :17:52.As non`league minnows, Yeovil Town were famous for punching above their
:17:53. > :17:59.weight in the FA Cup. Their most famous wind was in 1949 when they
:18:00. > :18:02.beat top`flight Sunderland. Down the years, many others perished at their
:18:03. > :18:08.hands, the likes of Brentford, Northampton and Blackpool.
:18:09. > :18:16.He has certainly had his moments down the years. Southampton, there
:18:17. > :18:28.is a tie to rekindle that old cup magic. The budgets of the two teams
:18:29. > :18:35.are astronomically apart. I cannot think of a bigger word. We respect
:18:36. > :18:39.how good they are, but of course there have been bigger upsets than
:18:40. > :18:45.this in the FA Cup, and if we can cause an upset or bring them back to
:18:46. > :18:47.the park, that is like getting through to the next round against
:18:48. > :18:52.another Premier League club, financially. Yeovil are rightly
:18:53. > :18:56.proud of their giant`killing past, it put the club on the map. Now as
:18:57. > :18:59.a Championship team, they're facing famous names every week. But the cup
:19:00. > :19:05.still retains its magic for supporters. They are one of the best
:19:06. > :19:11.44 clubs in the country now, whereas back then, there were 100 above us,
:19:12. > :19:15.so we are not the little old team anymore. We still get excited about
:19:16. > :19:22.the FA Cup. It is the anniversary of us beating Sunderland. If we beat
:19:23. > :19:26.Southampton on Saturday, I think that will be a fantastic
:19:27. > :19:32.achievement, amongst the best big club has ever done.
:19:33. > :19:36.That's why the club sold out its allocation of 3,500 tickets in one
:19:37. > :19:40.morning. And why everyone's keen to catch the manager's eye, as Yeovil
:19:41. > :19:45.try to make it into the fifth round for only the second time in their
:19:46. > :19:51.history. I think I would play them up front,
:19:52. > :19:54.to be honest! Tomorrow marks the 20 year
:19:55. > :20:00.anniversary of one of Bristol City's great cup moments against Liverpool.
:20:01. > :20:03.Last night, the team of 1994 were reunited at a dinner, including
:20:04. > :20:06.goal`scorer Brian Tinnion, whose strike knocked the Premier League
:20:07. > :20:10.team out 1`0 in the replay at Anfield.
:20:11. > :20:15.The team played really well. Some fantastic performances. I was lucky
:20:16. > :20:19.enough to get the goal and take some plaudits for that, but it was a
:20:20. > :20:24.great team effort. And it was fantastic for all of the people who
:20:25. > :20:31.were there last night. On paper we could not match them that we put in
:20:32. > :20:36.such great determination for the fans.
:20:37. > :20:39.No FA Cup game for City tomorrow, they're away to Wolves in the
:20:40. > :20:42.league. Swindon and Bristol Rovers have home games, while Cheltenham
:20:43. > :20:45.head to Plymouth. All the goals in our Sunday evening bulletin.
:20:46. > :20:49.And in rugby, Gloucester are away to Scarlets in the LV Cup tonight. Bath
:20:50. > :20:53.at home to Cardiff Blues tomorrow. And Bristol play Plymouth Albion in
:20:54. > :20:57.the Championship on Sunday. Going to be busy over the weekend! I
:20:58. > :21:07.will be here with all of the gold on Sunday evening. `` goals.
:21:08. > :21:12.If you're thinking that January is a bleak month, we have something that
:21:13. > :21:15.might cheer you up. Yes, it's the time of year when comedy stars
:21:16. > :21:18.descend on Bristol for the annual Slapstick Festival. This year,
:21:19. > :21:22.regulars such as Barry Cryer and the members of The Goodies are joined by
:21:23. > :21:25.the likes of Harry Hill and Omid Djalili. Sally Challoner is at the
:21:26. > :21:29.Colston Hall where it's all about to kick off.
:21:30. > :21:33.I am right by the stage actually. There are just doing their
:21:34. > :21:38.last`minute rehearsals. That is the Bristol ensemble who is going to be
:21:39. > :21:42.playing later. Yes, we really are lucky in this part of the world with
:21:43. > :21:46.our festivals, and this one is world class. It's been going for ten years
:21:47. > :21:49.now, attracting the biggest names in comedy, and reviving interest in the
:21:50. > :21:52.silent greats, like Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and my own personal
:21:53. > :21:55.favourite, Harold Lloyd. We'll talk to the organiser and tonight's
:21:56. > :21:58.special guest in a moment, but first some shameless use of a black and
:21:59. > :22:01.white film that's more than 100 years old.
:22:02. > :22:04.There's something about the old black and white silents that keep
:22:05. > :22:07.people laughing, no matter how corny the plot, or how primitive the
:22:08. > :22:12.effects. This is That Fatal Sneeze, a British film made back in 190 .
:22:13. > :22:17.That affection for silent movies launched the Slapstick Festival ten
:22:18. > :22:23.years ago. It's still going strong, attracting modern comedians from
:22:24. > :22:26.across the genre. This year, TV favourite Harry Hill, lately
:22:27. > :22:29.starring in this, his own film, is here, sharing his favourite comedy
:22:30. > :22:45.moments and influences on stage on Sunday. How many times, no strippers
:22:46. > :22:48.on a weeknight? But tonight, Charlie Chaplin's film
:22:49. > :22:51.City Lights will launch the festival, accompanied by Chaplin's
:22:52. > :22:54.own original score performed live by a 39 piece orchestra. They've been
:22:55. > :22:59.rehearsing this week to achieve that perfect comic timing for which
:23:00. > :23:02.Chaplin himself was rightly famous. And hosting the film tonight is the
:23:03. > :23:11.comedian and actor Omid Djalili himself a big Chaplin fan. I
:23:12. > :23:17.understand that in your very early career you had something of a
:23:18. > :23:22.Charlie Chaplin Lake moment. I owe my whole comedy career to
:23:23. > :23:28.slapstick. Someone spilled beer on me, and as I ran, I slipped on it,
:23:29. > :23:33.and the audience laughed. I cannot get the microphone out of the stand
:23:34. > :23:41.and it ain't me in the head and I cut myself and they laughed all stop
:23:42. > :23:44.`` it banged to me in the head and I cut myself and they laughed. I fell
:23:45. > :23:49.off the stage and I asked someone to help me back up. I was wearing black
:23:50. > :23:55.trousers and I ripped my trousers as I put one of my legs up. I waltzed
:23:56. > :23:58.onto the stage with a beer and I asked if I could start again and I
:23:59. > :24:03.got such a massive laugh that people said there was a new Charlie Chaplin
:24:04. > :24:10.act and that I was a genius. It was a mistake! You probably cannot have
:24:11. > :24:16.recreated that if you wanted to It takes real deal, and that is what we
:24:17. > :24:20.are here. These people are extremely skilled at what they do. Slapstick
:24:21. > :24:27.is the essence of humour, because it is absurd, and life is absurd.
:24:28. > :24:33.Fantastic. Don't fall off the stage tonight, unless the cameras are
:24:34. > :24:37.rolling. We can speak to the festival director. What have you got
:24:38. > :24:42.this year? After the call of this evening, which will be fantastic, we
:24:43. > :24:49.have another 12 events over the weekend. We have a speaker who will
:24:50. > :24:57.talk about Benny Hill. It is going to be fantastic. Ten years of
:24:58. > :25:01.slapstick. And it is sold out already tonight. Have a great
:25:02. > :25:03.festival. I am looking forward to the film tonight. Thank you very
:25:04. > :25:09.much. We can all certainly do with a laugh
:25:10. > :25:15.due to the weather. As it is, here is even with the forecast. At least
:25:16. > :25:17.Saturday is going to bring some dry prospects. As we get into the
:25:18. > :25:24.evening, there will be some showery rain which will be quite heavy. The
:25:25. > :25:32.rain will be spreading in from the west fairly rapidly. A colder regime
:25:33. > :25:39.will usher in to set up the coldest snap of the winter so far. A warning
:25:40. > :25:46.for rain over the Somerset Levels. It will not be as light or
:25:47. > :25:52.instrument and as it has been today. The band will clear away the. You're
:25:53. > :25:57.the drier prospects for tomorrow. `` here are the drier prospects. This
:25:58. > :26:02.ridge of high pressure will, everything down, but not for long.
:26:03. > :26:06.The rest of this evening continues to clear these outbreaks of rain
:26:07. > :26:15.there he radically to the east of us. `` and radically. A lot of Hill
:26:16. > :26:18.fog around, right down to about 500 foot or less. A murky night, but it
:26:19. > :26:25.will not be a particularly chilly one. A murky starts tomorrow with
:26:26. > :26:32.some Hill fog around, but the wind will CERT to lift the cloud base and
:26:33. > :26:39.brighten things up. `` but the wind will start to lift the cloud base.
:26:40. > :26:45.Showery outbreaks for a wild into the evening, and some of them could
:26:46. > :26:51.be happy. A chilly night towards Sunday. Temperatures will be mild.
:26:52. > :26:55.Ten or 11 Celsius. Or Sunday, the rain starts to push him quite
:26:56. > :27:04.readily through the course of the morning. Some heavier pulses of
:27:05. > :27:09.rain. Ten, maybe 20 mm tops. We are not talking exceptional amounts but
:27:10. > :27:12.we have got exceptional circumstances with the Somerset
:27:13. > :27:17.Levels. By the afternoon, it is brighter and showery. We could have
:27:18. > :27:21.some wintry showers around by Monday morning. Maybe some snow on the but
:27:22. > :27:27.nothing too disruptive. Amateurs will drop away next week. ``
:27:28. > :27:32.temperatures will drop away next week. That will come as a shock One
:27:33. > :27:38.thing after another. That is it for this evening. We will be back after
:27:39. > :27:43.the ten o'clock news to keep you updated. And Sunday politics is
:27:44. > :27:46.worth a watch. Otherwise, the whole team will be with you on Monday
:27:47. > :27:49.Have a nice weekend. Take care.
