Our main story tonight: The runaway driver who had already been arrested | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
for speeding. Awaiting sentence, he took to the | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
streets again, leading police on a dramatic chase that ended in arrest. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Jailing the driver today, a judge said lives could have been lost | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Our other stories tonight: The new hospital unit designed to stop young | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
psychiatric patients ending up in police cells. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Sending in the cavalry ` police step up patrols as thieves target flood | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
victims in Somerset. And the landslip near Bath that s | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
left a house perched on the edge of a cliff. | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
Good evening. A man from the Forest of Dean has | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
been jailed after taking police on two high speed chases in just over | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
six months. Christopher Wright was first arrested in the summer after | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
driving at over 100 mph, but while awaiting sentencing he got caught | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
again. The judge told him today it was only by chance that he didn t | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
kill anyone. Our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve Knibbs, was in | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
court. A busy morning on the outskirts of | :01:22. | :01:42. | |
Gloucester and the start of what was going to become a perilous police | :01:43. | :02:14. | |
chase. So the officer who's been right behind him all the way decides | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
to intervene. Wright is arrested and later admits dangerous driving and | :02:18. | :03:10. | |
having no insurance. He admitted dangerous driving again and | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
possessing cannabis. He told police he was an idiot and there was no | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
excuse for what he did. The judge jailed him for two`and`a`half years | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
and banned him from driving for four years. It was an outcome that on | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
several occasion almost became so much worse. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Hundreds of psychiatric patient in the West, some as young as 11, were | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
locked up in police cells last year. A new unit has opened today which it | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
is hoped will bring that practice to an end. The four`bed unit at | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
Southmead Hospital should mean fewer people, including children, being | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
held in custody. I was placed in a cell overnight. I | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
was distressed, with hall use nations, and psychosis. I was | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
roughly treated and left without food and water. I was arrested. | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Trinity Road custody suite, not an ideal place to spend the night if | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
you are detained under the Mental Health Act. But from today this new | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
psychiatric assessment centre will be able to hold up to four patients, | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
so they won't have to be detained in cells. This will be a very | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
difficulty experience in the new unit. Patients will come into this | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
assessment centre, where they'll be seen by a specialist mental health | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
team, who will discharge them within hours. Last year there were over a | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
thousand patients in the West who were arrested and detained under the | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
mental Health Act. Of those, 64 had to be locked in a police cell. The | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Police and Crime Commissioner has welcomed this development, although | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
she is concerned they won't yet be able to take children under 1. There | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
is no provision at the moment in this area for young people. That is | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
exactly the wrong thing to do. If you think about in the last year | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
there were ten children who were put into police cells. That is | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
absolutely I don't think and shouldn't be tolerated. We've worked | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
hard in Wiltshire and have come into agreement with the Commissioner | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
there, so we can extend the age limit there. I hope to have similar | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
discussions with the Bristol and Avon area to do the same. How does | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
it work in Wiltshire? We've worked with the provider of child and | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
adolescent mental health services and the safety of children is | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
paramount while in our care. Being detained under the Mental Health Act | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
is traumatic enough, so if cells can be avoided, that can only give | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
patients peace of mind. With me in the studio is matron of | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
the new unit, Linda Holbrooke. Thank you for coming in. What does it mean | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
to you to have this new unit in place now? It is really exciting | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
that we have expanded to be able to take four people that may be placed | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
in a place of safety, whereas before we only had service for one person. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
It meant that other people that may have been picked up would have gone | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
straight to a police cell. What kind of patients will it deal with? What | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
illnesses will they typically have? Variable mental health disorders. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
And people in crisis that may not have a serious mental illness, but | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
may with in `` but may be in crisis that evening, and police will be | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
unsure how they are and may need treatment. Schizophrenia, psychosis. | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
If they've been arrested, aren't they perhaps potentially dangerous? | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Should they be in a police cell Why is this better? We have been working | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
closely with the police to look at how we can care for these people. | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
There's only a small percentage of people that may be exhibit | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
aggression. We work with the police to be able to keep the police and | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
nurses working together on this unit to look after that person. It would | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
be very rare now that they would need to go to the police cells. We | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
are equipped with the staff to be able to deal with more difficult | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
situations than we were in the past. So hopefully safer for the parity | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
and for the public at large. Exactly. Linda, thank you. Thank | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
you. A busy commuter road near Bath has | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
been shut following a big landslide and the authorities can't say when | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
it will re`open. Last week's collapse has left one house in the | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
village dangerously close to the edge of the cliff. The 35 foot bank | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
of earth has broken the retaining wall and spilled on to the road | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
closing it for the foreseeable future. | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
Just imagine this being the scene at the bottom of your garden ` hundreds | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
of tonnes of earth on what was a steep pathway from the house the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
road. If you look at the garden gates you can really get an idea | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
just how far the ground has slipped. There's at least ten feet of earth | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
movement. It was an eerie silence and then this creaking and crashing. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
It is only 20 foot from your bedroom. It is worrying. I think | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
what we need now really is some answers as to what lies ahead. Is it | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
progressive movement? Is there going to be further land`fall and to what | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
extent are we going to be put in danger being in the house? Simon and | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
his family have decided to stay put on the reassurances of the | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
structural engineers. His neighbours opposite the land`fall decided on a | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
different course of action. The policeman knocked at the door. At | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
one in the morning. They told us they weren't telling us to evacuate | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
but they didn't like the look of the situation. Because of that we | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
decided to get out of the house and we would like a bit more of a gat | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
goshgal assurance that our house isn't at risk. At the moment it is | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
hard to provide any concrete answers. The land is the | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
responsibility of the owners of the house. They live abroad, so local | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
engineers working fort insurance company are waiting for the go ahead | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
to clear away the tonnes of rubble. Only then can they assess what | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
remedial work needs to be done to shore up the bank. The adjoining mid | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
ford Road is a busy commuter route. One of the busiest ones I've seen. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Concerns can regarding the stability of the bank. Until we can be certain | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
how stable it is. We must keep the road closed in the interests of | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
public safety and hopefully people will recognise we have their | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
interests at heart. Residents and commuters can only hope that the | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
work will begin in the next few days. | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
Ian will be here with a weather forecast shortly. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
And an uplifting story ` the former RAF pilot with a physical impairment | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
going for his balloon licence. First, the police horses have been | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
drafted in to the Somerset level this is afternoon as thieves take | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
advantage of flood victims. They will be helping officers patrol the | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
area to deter thieves should have already stolen heating oil and quad | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
bikes. There's been an angry reaction to remarks made by the | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
chairman of the Environment Agency that rural homes may need to be | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
sacrificed to save urban areas from flooding. | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
As if flood victims don't have enough to deal with, now thieves are | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
compounding their misery. Virtually all James's farm is underwater and | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
now he is without heating and water, after thieves stole his oil and | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
damaged a pump. And so today police horses had began patrolling, the | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
high`profile attempt to deter thieves, who may see flood victims | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
as easy pickings. We want to provide that reassurance that we are | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
proactively making sure there's a deterrent in place to stop | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
opportunist criminals. The chairman of the Environment Agency is tonight | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
facing calls to resign. For remarks he made about rural flooding. Here | :11:59. | :12:07. | |
we are on the edge of North Curie Behind me thousands of acres of | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
farmland underwater. The chairman of the Environment Agency said | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
difficult decisions need to be made ` do we save the countryside or do | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
we protect urban areas? We simply don't have the money to do both Try | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
delivering that message to the man who lives in that house there. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Keith's home has been flooded for a month now, and the water is still | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
rising. On top of that his log business has been crippled. Most of | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
his stock is underwater. How does he react to Lord Smith's remarks? When | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
I bought this property, he should have said that then and buy my | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
property off me, because I can't sell it at the moment. This nearby | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
pub isn't flooded, but trade is down ?2,000 a week. They have had to cut | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
staff pauf it and they say police messages for people, flood tourists | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
as they call them, to stay away from the area aren't helping. It is a | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
difficult trade, especially at this time of year. And to say to people | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
not to come to this area, it is disastrous really. One extra visitor | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
tomorrow will be by royal appointment. Prince Charles will see | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
for himself what we've been reporting on since Christmas. | :13:24. | :13:32. | |
We'll be covering that as well. The Environment Secretary, | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
independent, has `` Owen Paterson has faced criticism for his handling | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
of the Somerset Levels. The Shadow Environment Secretary told the | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
commons that the people of Somerset had been badly let down. When the | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
water first rose, are it took far too long to provide the pumps, | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
sandbags and other assistance that residents needed. We have seen | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
meeting after meeting of COBRA and little coherence of the Government's | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
strategy for dealing with this crisis. So will the Secretary of | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
State set out what precise steps he took between 6 January this year | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
when he last reported to the House and the weekend when the Prime | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
Minister was forced to intervene and tell him to get his skates on? | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
That's a small segment of the questions put by Maria eeg toll Owen | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
Paterson today `` Maria Eagle to Owen Paterson today. Thank you for | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
joining us. Some people might think this is political point scoring when | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
people really need solutions. I don't think so. The Secretary of | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
State has had since before Christmas to show he can respond appropriately | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
to help people who've been flooded all of that time on the Somerset | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
Levels. I'm afraid today was the first time since 6 January he's told | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
the House what that response is He had to be dragged there to do so. He | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
isn't giving Usmanov information and I don't think his response and that | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
of the Government has been good enough. I'm sure... He did say that | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
COBRA have been meeting since the floods started before Christmas | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
that they now have a six`week plan. The reason it is going to take so | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
long is so they make the right decisions and the right people come | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
together. Is it better to make those right decisions than rush into | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
something? COBRA has been meeting, but believe me, we haven't seen any | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
outcome from those meetings. The response of the Government appears | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
to have been incoherent in the intervening period of time. It was | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
right he was dragged to the Commons today to try to account for himself. | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Unfortunately we didn't get many answers to the questions that were | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
put to him from all sides of the House. I just hope that now that he | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
has been back to the House of Commons he will get his act together | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
and start dealing with this matter appropriately and with some | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
coherence. What would you do? What commitment would you make should | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
your power being mixed that would make a difference? We would get | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
proper priority to flood. When Owen Paterson got the job he removed | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
flood in from the priorities of Defra. That sends a signal that it | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
is not it is `` that it is not at the top of his list of things to do. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
But in 2007 when you were in power, the Environment Agency was left in a | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
weakened state. But be invested in these issues and in planning for the | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
future of these issues. The first thing the current Government did was | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
cut investment by 30% and that is one of the problems being faced | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
Thank you for joining us. The sister of a Royal Military | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
Police officer who was found hanged in her Wiltshire barracks is hoping | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
a new inquest into her death will provide answers and justice. A | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
second inquest into Anne`Marie Ellement's death at Bulford Barracks | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
in 2011 opened today. The 30`year`old corporal had alleged she | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
was raped by two servicemen but no charges were brought against them. | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
Her family and a civil rights group fought for the second inquest after | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
they were unsatisfied with one held in March last year. | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
Plans to build a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
have been dealt a blow by the European Commission. The Commission | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
is looking into whether promising to pay a fixed price for the | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
electricity that will be generated there in the future is fair or if it | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
breaks competition rules. The Commission hasn't yet made their | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
decision but is expected to later in the spring. So what does this mean? | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
Laura's been looking into it. October last year, and amid much | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
fanfare, the Prime Minister comes to Hinkley. It was a big deal. After | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
years of toing and froing, it looked like plans for a new nuclear power | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
station on the site were going ahead. | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
It is not a done deal yet. But as Clinton was at pains to point out, | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
this was not a done deal then and it still isn't now. So why not? It s | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
all a bit complicated, but basically, EDF, the French company | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
which is supposed to be building this place, reckon it's going to | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
cost them about ?16 billion to do it. And they want to know that it's | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
going to be worthwhile. So, our Government agreed on a fixed price | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
that we will pay EDF for the electricity they'll produce here so | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
everyone knows where they stand The only problem is that it's against | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
European law for governments to subsidise private companies. It s | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
not clear if this counts as a subsidy but the European Commission | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
is looking into it and trying to decide. This week, the European | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
Union's Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia gave his clearest | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
signal yet that he's not terribly impressed with the deal. In a | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
letter, he said it "could constitute illegal state aid", adding it is | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
"difficult to argue" that guaranteed payments for electricity were | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
needed. The JDF which has already spent more than ?1 billion in all of | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
said that it is right that the Commission should investigate and | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
that they are fully cooperating This The Commission will now look | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
into all this in greater detail and will report fully later in the | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
spring. EDF of course is hoping that this is | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
just another bump in the long road to Hinkley C. But if the Commission | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
does believe that rules have been broken, it could hold things up for | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
months or even years to come. And could end up scuppering the deal | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
entirely. Olympic organisers said they will | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
act after being asked to make changes to the snowboard slopestyle | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
course in Sochi. Bristol's Jenny Jones was among those training for | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
the first time today, which saw Norway's main medal hope crash and | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
break his collarbone. The three jumps will now be reduced by a total | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
of six feet. People are little bit concerned | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
about the speed, so it is important that people can clear the jump | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
sufficiently so that when they start spinning, you take a different line | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
after take`off. We have, you know, voiced our opinions and everyone is | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
in agreement that those need to be tweaked. If your little adjustments | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
in regards to the rails as well Hopefully it will be a bit better | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
tomorrow. Those jumps looks enormous, didn't | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
they? I would certainly want them Lord a bit. `` drops a bit. | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
It should have been a moment to treasure for Gloucester's Jonny May, | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
but his Six Nations debut ended shortly after kick`off with a broken | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
nose. The Gloucester wing is hoping a specialist can get his fixed up so | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
he can play in England's next match this weekend. Alistair Durden | :20:47. | :20:47. | |
reports. He could only sit in the stands and | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
watch as the French pinched victory in the last five minutes. Jonny | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
May's Six Nations debut ended in the first five. The start to the French | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
line was when his nose was broken. Now he is waiting for news on | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
whether he can play against common. Jonny May has seen a specialist so | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
we will find out later today he will be fit to play. We will wait to see | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
what the specialist says. Not too many messages of sympathy from his | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
club team`mates but plenty of light`hearted banter from a man who | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
has broken his nose seven times I have never seen a specialist, maybe | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
I should see one. You will be all right. As I said, it is the start. | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
Before he knows it, he will not be to see out of one eye. He has quite | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
a big nose anyway! Chance for England. Jonny May... I think we saw | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
a glimpse of what he was capable of and it is the type of game that he | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
would have been ideally suited for. It is a shame for him, but he will | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
have more opportunities. As England regroup, there has been a recall to | :21:58. | :22:07. | |
the squad. And Bath's player could get his chance as well. | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
A former RAF pilot who broke his spine in a flying accident has | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
realised a dream to take to the air on his own again. Tim Ellison was | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
left paralysed from the waist down when his Harrier jump jet crashed. | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
Now with the help of Somerset`based round`the`world balloonist Brian | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
Jones, he's become the world's second ever hot air balloon pilot | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
with a physical impairment. And Brian Jones is here with us now | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
I went with you to Italy, with you and Tim, to see him qualify as a | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
pilot. It was amazing, wasn't it? It was extraordinary. The first | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
disabled person to qualify in Europe and as you said only the second in | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
the world. He was brilliant. She looked very comfortable. `` you look | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
very comfortable. It was quite different from what we might | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
envisage a basket would look like. Sure, it is like a double chair | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
very much like a sofa. You have a wonderful view because that is no | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
sides and you can see all the way down. From a disabled person's point | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
of view it is ideal and easy to get from a wheelchair onto the seat So | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
accessibility, but the safety in here must be quite paramount, | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
especially with regards to landing. You have a strong stainless steel | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
frame and the back which offers protection. If it is a windy | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
landing, we will actually turn the Berlin around and land backwards. | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
One of the joys of flying is the freedom this chair gives you. We can | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
hear from Tim about what it means to him to have been on this building. | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
Once you have been in the chair sitting next to an equal `` | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
able`bodied Carson, you feel equal and you do not get that freedom | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
every day on the ground. Airborne, it gives you a sense of achievement. | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
Yeah, it means so much to him. So what now, what's next? Tim was not | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
just my student. We were in a partnership to prove the concept, as | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
it were, and now we have proved it, we have shown how relatively simple | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
letters and so it is open to any disabled person who would like to | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
become a balloon pilot. Tim would like to become an instructor | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
himself? Tim is a natural pilot As you would expect with 2000 hours and | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
a Harrier. It took less than six hours to teach on the balloon and it | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
was just amazing. There is more tonight on inside out West. That is | :24:47. | :24:55. | |
on 7:30pm. Let's take a look at what the weather is like back here at | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
home. In a simple line, wet and windy As | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
far as the forecast models lead us into next week, there is no end to a | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
relenting at Atlantic partum. There is deep areas of pressure. The | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
detail yet to be established, but the detail tomorrow is well | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
established. It is a day when we will see dry weather wish I was | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
around as well. It will get decidedly windy island midday and | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
through the evening decidedly wet. January has been catching the eye. | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
Midsummer Norton leading the way with rainfall through the course of | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
the month which has been breaking records. Some of you who sent in the | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
data is saying this is the highest totals you have seen in 60 plus | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
years of record keeping. I am afraid Debbie Levey is continuing in | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
similar fashion. `` February is continuing. It is a very similar | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
setup to some of the conditions we have seen in the latter stages of | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
December. We have rain with us right now that is easing its way ever | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
eastwards in rather erratic fashion. As we see those dry spells with | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
showers around, you can see to the south`west this explosive | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
development as we call it bringing this penny windy weather in yet | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
through the evening. Wet weather as well. This evening, this band of | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
rain continues ever used. `` ever east. It dies out towards the | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
north`east. It will quite chilly, but a fair amount of dry weather | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
until daybreak tomorrow, banning some showers. Temperatures could get | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
into freezing in a couple of spots tonight. Tomorrow, dry and bright | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
weather about, the chance of showers as well, but as we get the | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
mid`afternoon, those winds will pick up in the southerly quarter. Those | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
of you in Dorset and summer so, gusts of 60`70 mph, possibly more on | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
the south coast. The main, through into Wednesday, will be bringing | :27:06. | :27:15. | |
over several inches of rain. Prince Charles is going to be | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
visiting some of those affected on the Somerset levels. That will be on | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
tomorrow's programme. I will be back at ten. For now, good night. | :27:29. | :27:33. |
