:00:00. > :00:00.Thank you. That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's goodbye from
:00:00. > :00:09.Welcome to BBC Points West with Sabet Choudhury and Alex Lovell Our
:00:10. > :00:13.main story tonight... Shipping in help from the continent ` Dutch
:00:14. > :00:20.pumps and new dams to fight the floodwater. But dry land needs to be
:00:21. > :00:25.submerged. We cannot be abandoned and left with some bags of sand
:00:26. > :00:28.which are what the differences are and sit here and wait for something
:00:29. > :00:31.to happen. We look at how the farmers are
:00:32. > :00:37.helping each other through the floods.
:00:38. > :00:42.Also tonight, anger and confusion as six lions are put down at a
:00:43. > :00:45.Wiltshire safari park. And soaring on to the medals board `
:00:46. > :00:52.the Bristol snowboarder lighting up Sochi.
:00:53. > :00:57.Good evening. The Environment Agency has launched its latest effort to
:00:58. > :01:02.rid the Somerset Levels of water today. Huge pumps have been shipped
:01:03. > :01:06.in from Holland and dams have been built to protect homes, ahead of an
:01:07. > :01:11.ambitious plan to open one of the main sluice gates on the moors,
:01:12. > :01:15.which could put homes at risk. The pumps are shifting vast volumes of
:01:16. > :01:27.water away from flooded areas, and Scott Ellis is next to them tonight.
:01:28. > :01:30.Something of a respite in the weather in Somerset to night.
:01:31. > :01:41.Somewhere out there if the River parrot. It is unbroken water all the
:01:42. > :01:46.way. The Dutch engineers are working away, putting the pumps in place.
:01:47. > :01:52.They are hoping to move the water onto fields which are less flooded.
:01:53. > :01:56.As ever, once you start shifting water around, pumping it here and
:01:57. > :02:01.opening sluice gates there, someone else will suffer along the way.
:02:02. > :02:07.These are the giant Dutch pumps it is hoped will ease flooding on the
:02:08. > :02:14.Somerset levels. They will work by taking water away from the swollen
:02:15. > :02:22.River Parrot. It will be taken out to sea. It means opening a sluice
:02:23. > :02:27.gate on the River. They are failing to appreciate the flow of the
:02:28. > :02:32.water. That worries some residents in Aller. His house has flooded for
:02:33. > :02:38.times since Christmas. He is worried that when the of Ireland agency
:02:39. > :02:43.opens the sluice gate, the water will flood onto the land, near his
:02:44. > :02:47.house. We are sacrificial lambs there is no doubt about it. They
:02:48. > :02:52.have to give us a guaranteed that if the outcome goes wrong, they will
:02:53. > :02:55.underwrite the value of the property, they can acquire the
:02:56. > :02:59.property and do what they want but they have to give me that guarantee
:03:00. > :03:04.in writing. A dam is being built to protect their homes from floods but
:03:05. > :03:07.there are no guarantees. It is an uncertain business but we will do
:03:08. > :03:14.our best to protect these homes and property. Are they right to be
:03:15. > :03:17.worried? Yes, I would be the same myself. All of the residents are
:03:18. > :03:22.worried. We would all be worried if our homes were at risk. The
:03:23. > :03:26.Environment Agency says it will open the sluice gates slowly and the
:03:27. > :03:29.water will be constantly monitored. They say they need to ease the
:03:30. > :03:36.pressure on the River to prevent flooding in Bridgwater. Elsewhere,
:03:37. > :03:41.we spoke to one farmer who cannot wait for the pumping to start.
:03:42. > :03:46.Unless the water goes rapidly this will not be grassland, it will be a
:03:47. > :03:51.bog and you can't farm that. With no rain, it is estimated it would take
:03:52. > :04:03.26 days to Pompey levels dried but once again `` to pump the Levels
:04:04. > :04:05.dried. The Environment Agency has said that
:04:06. > :04:09.they can guarantee that opening the sluice gate will not flood his house
:04:10. > :04:12.was stop they cannot guarantee that his house will not flood as a result
:04:13. > :04:21.of the bad weather that is coming in. He is deciding what to do. He
:04:22. > :04:24.wants a written guarantee from the brunt agency and is considering an
:04:25. > :04:26.injunction against the environmental seat to stop them from opening that
:04:27. > :04:30.gate. Scott Ellis reporting there from the
:04:31. > :04:34.village of Aller. Well, for those of you not familiar with the geography
:04:35. > :04:37.of the area, Aller is on one of the main roads which runs through the
:04:38. > :04:41.Somerset Levels, the A372, only about ten miles from the M5. It s
:04:42. > :04:44.just one of the communities we've been reporting from over the last
:04:45. > :04:48.few weeks during this crisis. The village of Muchelney was the first
:04:49. > :04:51.to be cut off ` that was at the beginning of January. Since then,
:04:52. > :04:55.the only way residents have been able to get in and out has been with
:04:56. > :04:59.the help of the emergency services. The waters then started to rise
:05:00. > :05:04.around other villages. Farmer James Winslade lives near Moorland. We've
:05:05. > :05:07.been to his farm several times over the last few weeks, including last
:05:08. > :05:15.Thursday when his cattle had to be moved in a dramatic evacuation,
:05:16. > :05:18.otherwise they would have drowned. This picture of a train surrounded
:05:19. > :05:24.by water was also taken near Moorland on Friday. And then, at the
:05:25. > :05:29.weekend, more distress for local residents, as houses in East Lyng
:05:30. > :05:32.were overtaken by the floodwaters. At this house, the water was so high
:05:33. > :05:40.it was pouring in through the letterbox. But it's not just been
:05:41. > :05:42.Somerset where there's been flooding. In Gloucestershire, nearly
:05:43. > :05:47.60 homes have been flooded. Some communities have been underwater for
:05:48. > :05:50.weeks and say they're being ignored. Our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve
:05:51. > :05:57.Chaceley. Chaceley. Population, around 10 .
:05:58. > :06:00.Flooding, a regular occurrence. Roads and lanes here are covered in
:06:01. > :06:04.several metres of water The only transport for the landlord of the
:06:05. > :06:11.local pub, which now has a foot of water in, is by boat. It is rising
:06:12. > :06:15.all the time, so we're just getting anything out of the water. We have
:06:16. > :06:25.stacked it twice already. It is going up and up. All of this water
:06:26. > :06:33.arrived on `` arrives during Christmas. In some places, there are
:06:34. > :06:37.no pants getting rid of the water. `` pumps getting rid of the water.
:06:38. > :06:40.Well`rehearsed plans to protect homes have been put in place again.
:06:41. > :06:43.It's part of village life, but doesn't get any easier. And many
:06:44. > :06:47.here feel their plight is being ignored. We are only a small village
:06:48. > :06:50.and there are only a view of us Obviously, a bigger village or town
:06:51. > :06:55.has to come first. We are still people and we are still suffering,
:06:56. > :06:59.all of us in this village. We need something done here as well. The
:07:00. > :07:02.flooding here is a 20th`century problem. To blame, flood defences
:07:03. > :07:08.put into larger towns and cities up river and large`scale development on
:07:09. > :07:12.flood plains. Between Tewkesbury and Gloucester, there are no defences.
:07:13. > :07:15.It gets to Gloucester and then there is a massive restriction of the
:07:16. > :07:19.river in Gloucester, he's developing has taken place there. We have an
:07:20. > :07:24.enormous rubbish tip. It is a pinch point, the water cannot go through,
:07:25. > :07:26.it backs up and comes over the top here. Villagers want a storm drain
:07:27. > :07:33.built to bypass Gloucester, allowing the water to flow freely and not
:07:34. > :07:41.back up. In terms of value for money and making sure there is a benefit,
:07:42. > :07:44.here, it is difficult to come up with a scheme that is cost
:07:45. > :07:46.beneficial. The flood is now creeping menacingly into the
:07:47. > :07:50.churchyard, the traditional last bastion of refuge. People here are
:07:51. > :07:52.coping but, with water still here after several weeks and nothing
:07:53. > :07:58.being done, patience is wearing thin.
:07:59. > :08:00.Since the Somerset floods crisis, hundreds of offers of help have been
:08:01. > :08:11.pouring in for local people, everything from food and blankets to
:08:12. > :08:14.boats and beds. And since the farmers and their animals have been
:08:15. > :08:18.evacuated, the generosity just keeps on coming. Ali Vowles has been to
:08:19. > :08:21.Nether Stowey to see how the agricultural community in the area
:08:22. > :08:28.is coping with the situation. No one who saw this last week will
:08:29. > :08:32.forget the images. Farmer James Winslade in a race against time to
:08:33. > :08:36.move his cattle. It was thanks to the help of neighbouring farmers
:08:37. > :08:42.that they were moved to the safety of a nearby auction centre. Four
:08:43. > :08:48.days later, most of the animals are on tender from other farms. Today,
:08:49. > :08:54.some of his cattle are being auctioned. People are amazing. They
:08:55. > :09:01.are spread over ten farms all over the place. Logistically, it is how
:09:02. > :09:06.you feed them, I do not have any feed, it is all underwater. There is
:09:07. > :09:13.also the overdraft and the added cost that the floods have put on.
:09:14. > :09:15.The kindness of people has touched everyone in the farming community.
:09:16. > :09:20.Tonnes of hay and feed from all over the country have been arriving here
:09:21. > :09:27.at the auction centre. James has been helping to all cord mate where
:09:28. > :09:33.it goes. For the first time, Brian had to abandon his farm. He has 100
:09:34. > :09:39.cattle being cared for at different files. He has been overwhelmed by
:09:40. > :09:44.everyone's kindness. Neighbours have loaded up cattle and taken them on
:09:45. > :09:52.and that sort of thing. It has been wonderful, how everyone has helped
:09:53. > :09:55.us. For many, these floods will be life changing. Despite the support
:09:56. > :09:59.of the community, some farmers say they are not sure they can keep
:10:00. > :10:05.going. Sales like this might be the start. Most will do everything they
:10:06. > :10:08.can to keep going. Feed and silage is arriving every
:10:09. > :10:11.day and it may look a lot of good this is not going to last for long.
:10:12. > :10:16.The farmers say it will be months before their land can produce
:10:17. > :10:21.anything at all and they will need help for a long time to come.
:10:22. > :10:24.As the flooding continues on the Somerset levels, many farmers and
:10:25. > :10:29.landowners are asking what can be done to stop it happening again A
:10:30. > :10:36.potential answer could be several hundred miles away in the lowlands
:10:37. > :10:45.of Europe. Andy Howard reports. Spot the difference. The Netherlands
:10:46. > :10:48.in 1995. And Somerset last week Dutch engineers helped regain water
:10:49. > :11:00.from the Somerset levels 400 years ago. Now, they have some new ideas.
:11:01. > :11:12.Land here is being given back to the river. They will move the Dykes back
:11:13. > :11:17.and lowering the water `` lowering the land level. It increases the
:11:18. > :11:21.risk of flooding. You find new solutions for flood relief by
:11:22. > :11:28.finding a way to live with nature and to live together with the river.
:11:29. > :11:35.Using more land is a flood plain means some 200 Dutch families living
:11:36. > :11:41.on the riverside may have to move. We are frustrated and angry. Then we
:11:42. > :11:47.decided we would oppose this plan or we could find a way to work together
:11:48. > :11:51.with the Government. The farmers persuaded the Dutch government to
:11:52. > :11:56.stay on the land and build six metre high mounds around their properties.
:11:57. > :12:01.Back to the Somerset levels. Would that system ever work here? This has
:12:02. > :12:03.become the second official land they are talking about in the
:12:04. > :12:07.Netherlands. If you could manage that, we would still have areas that
:12:08. > :12:11.would flood but not to this large extent. That could work. With the
:12:12. > :12:18.scheme in Holland costing one point eight Ilium pounds `` 1.8 Ilium
:12:19. > :12:21.pounds, going Dutch could be extensive.
:12:22. > :12:25.Well, you can find out more about how the Dutch are trying to solve
:12:26. > :12:28.the problem of river flooding on Inside Out West tonight at 7:30pm on
:12:29. > :12:32.BBC One. Today, it was the turn of the Deputy
:12:33. > :12:35.Prime Minister to visit the levels. Nick Clegg became the third party
:12:36. > :12:39.leader in four days to come to Somerset, while Labour are promising
:12:40. > :12:42.a member of the Shadow Cabinet will be here tomorrow. Meanwhile, the
:12:43. > :12:46.political row over who's to blame for not dredging local rivers took a
:12:47. > :12:51.new turn. Here's our political editor, Paul Barltrop.
:12:52. > :12:55.It's been a veritable procession of politicians. Nick Clegg followed hot
:12:56. > :12:59.on the heels of UKIP leader Nigel Farage, just days after the Prime
:13:00. > :13:02.Minister visited. First on the scene a fortnight back was Environment
:13:03. > :13:07.Secretary Owen Paterson, though he didn't fare too well. As well as
:13:08. > :13:17.being barracked by angry locals his shiny shoes didn't impress. For any
:13:18. > :13:20.politician visiting the floods, images everything. You have to be
:13:21. > :13:24.seen in the right place, meet the right people and you have to be
:13:25. > :13:27.wearing wellies or waders. So today's footwear was carefully
:13:28. > :13:31.chosen, as was his stance on the row of the day ` who's to blame for the
:13:32. > :13:34.rivers Parrett and Tone not being dredged last year. It turns out
:13:35. > :13:41.Treasury spending restrictions played a big part. The Environment
:13:42. > :13:46.Agency has to work according to a set of rules about what they should
:13:47. > :13:50.prioritise. Those are set by government? They are and it is right
:13:51. > :13:54.that we look together with the Environment Agency about whether
:13:55. > :13:57.those rules are right for these kinds of incidents. For Somerset,
:13:58. > :13:59.the rules have now been changed Dredging will happen. That was
:14:00. > :14:03.welcomed by UKIP leader Nigel Farage as he posed for the press pack
:14:04. > :14:10.yesterday and, unusually for a politician, admitted things weren't
:14:11. > :14:14.clear`cut. I don't know whether dredging, what percent of the
:14:15. > :14:18.problems has been caused by a lack of dredging. Long`term, a public
:14:19. > :14:20.enquiry is the least that could happen.
:14:21. > :14:24.The political spotlight will have shifted by the time the dredgers go
:14:25. > :14:31.in and the experts get on with tackling Somerset's centuries`old
:14:32. > :14:33.problem. There will be much more discussion, I am sure.
:14:34. > :14:37.Well, you're watching Points West at the start of what could be yet
:14:38. > :14:42.another wet week. But at least we've got this to cheer us up. Looking
:14:43. > :14:44.very solid here for Jenny Jones Yes, stay with us as we celebrate
:14:45. > :14:55.Britain's first medal in Sochi. It's emerged that six lions have
:14:56. > :15:00.been put down at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire. One male lion was
:15:01. > :15:05.said to have been badly injured in a fight. The others, a lioness and
:15:06. > :15:08.four cubs, had genetic disorders. Park managers said because of those
:15:09. > :15:11.disorders and an increase in the lion population, putting them to
:15:12. > :15:20.sleep was the responsible thing to do. Will Glennon reports.
:15:21. > :15:23.Longleat Safari Park here in Wiltshire has been in operation
:15:24. > :15:29.since the 1960s. Since then, they have had hundreds of lions here We
:15:30. > :15:33.are here because six lines have been put down in the last month. One a
:15:34. > :15:38.male line who had been involved in a fight with some of the other lines,
:15:39. > :15:45.and a lioness and four Cubs who work in exhibiting genetic abnormalities.
:15:46. > :15:48.Let us find out more about what that means from the director of animal
:15:49. > :15:54.operations here. Tell us about the male line. Where his injury so bad
:15:55. > :15:57.you could not save him? On the th of January, Henry was beaten up by
:15:58. > :16:03.his brother and one of the lionesses in the pride. The wind was so severe
:16:04. > :16:10.that despite treatment, we could not return him to a normal life. The
:16:11. > :16:17.best decision was to humanely euthanise him. What about the
:16:18. > :16:24.lioness and the Cubs? They had been getting worse and the Cubs got
:16:25. > :16:27.around 12 months of age. We felt that this was a genetic disease and
:16:28. > :16:31.as they were getting worse, there was no hope that we could remove
:16:32. > :16:35.them from a breeding programme and give them a quality`of`life until
:16:36. > :16:39.they died of a natural age. Some welfare groups are saying that you
:16:40. > :16:45.should not have been breeding from the line as if she had genetic
:16:46. > :16:49.problems. I agree full so we do use contraception here. We also use the
:16:50. > :16:53.sector mise en some of the male lions was a bit is something we do
:16:54. > :17:02.routinely use. In her case, we thought that her neurological
:17:03. > :17:10.disease was to do with her diet when she was younger. It emerged that it
:17:11. > :17:17.was a genetic problem later in her life. That was when we made a
:17:18. > :17:22.decision we did. The lioness was not bred here at Longleat. She was born
:17:23. > :17:25.at a zoo in Cambridgeshire and then transferred to a zoo in North
:17:26. > :17:28.Somerset before arriving here. We are told that the zoo in North
:17:29. > :17:34.Somerset has two of Louisa's brothers still in captivity. They
:17:35. > :17:42.are still not showing any signs of illness was not they are said to be
:17:43. > :17:45.healthy. For digital entrepreneurs in the
:17:46. > :17:49.West Country, today was a red letter day. ?2 million was invested in new
:17:50. > :17:52.high`tech start`up firms, and there was a Royal visit to boot. Prince
:17:53. > :17:54.Andrew came to Bristol to highlight the importance of high`tech
:17:55. > :17:59.companies and our business correspondent, Dave Harvey, has been
:18:00. > :18:03.speaking to him. We have graphic design, copywriting...
:18:04. > :18:06.They call him the start`up royal ` he writes his own tweets and loves
:18:07. > :18:15.meeting funky new digital start`ups, like Paul, from the daredevil
:18:16. > :18:18.project. We run mobile games that are played in the real world. It
:18:19. > :18:24.allows teams of people to carry out tasks in a creative way for a panel
:18:25. > :18:27.of judges. It struck a royal chord ` the former helicopter pilot warmed
:18:28. > :18:31.to the devil`may`care confidence of the room. Ten brand`new firms ` each
:18:32. > :18:39.has been given ten weeks and ?1 ,000 to prove their ideas. I am from
:18:40. > :18:45.London but I decided to go back to Bristol to do this because I think
:18:46. > :18:48.it worked but Italy well here. `` it works particularly well here. Prince
:18:49. > :18:51.Andrew loves this stuff. As a rule, the royals don't do interviews but
:18:52. > :18:55.today the Prince made an exception, so keen is he on these brave digital
:18:56. > :19:02.trailblazers. So I asked him ` would he invest? I would. I'd need a bit
:19:03. > :19:04.more education. One of the most important things about investing
:19:05. > :19:08.isn't not only knowing what it is that the people are doing but more
:19:09. > :19:14.to learn about the people themselves. A lot of it is about
:19:15. > :19:18.networking. Are you able to deliver investors or networkers to these
:19:19. > :19:25.kind of businesses? In brief, can you help these guys meet the money
:19:26. > :19:27.men? The money men are always difficult people to find because
:19:28. > :19:32.they hide. They are very efficient at hiding. But by the time I get
:19:33. > :19:34.back to London tonight, there will be two or three things we have done.
:19:35. > :19:37.Before that, though, a royal appointment with the robots. The
:19:38. > :19:44.Bristol Robotic Laboratory ` world renowned and, for Prince Andrew
:19:45. > :19:49.highly educational. Every single day, one learns something new. In
:19:50. > :19:51.learning something new, one finds something that you can pass on to
:19:52. > :19:57.someone else which is your networking point. That gives people
:19:58. > :20:03.the opportunity to feed from your knowledge. Will we see a robot in
:20:04. > :20:07.one of the royal palaces in future? We can probably replace the press
:20:08. > :20:14.secretary with a robot before too long! Now you are in trouble! They
:20:15. > :20:18.give very much indeed. A 14`year project to get a memorial
:20:19. > :20:22.built in Tewkesbury to mark one of England's most important battles is
:20:23. > :20:25.finally coming close to completion. Two five`metre`high oak horses are
:20:26. > :20:28.being sculpted in the Forest of Dean to represent the two sides in the
:20:29. > :20:40.War of the Roses. Here's Alice Bouverie. We are getting close to
:20:41. > :20:43.the end of the main build of the horse.
:20:44. > :20:47.It's an idea which has taken almost as long as the War of the Roses to
:20:48. > :20:53.bring to life. A memorial in Tewkesbury to the battle in 147 .
:20:54. > :21:00.This is the second of two giant horse sculptures. I have made them
:21:01. > :21:11.more into an oak frame. It is like drawing with the wood and heavy
:21:12. > :21:14.beams. Most of the wood for the sculpture has been sourced locally.
:21:15. > :21:17.But finding precisely the right oak trees has been a real challenge
:21:18. > :21:20.even without a stray sheep getting in the way. That is the branch we
:21:21. > :21:48.have been looking for. That particular curve, down into the main
:21:49. > :21:51.trunk. You can see the thigh. They'll be put up on a roundabout
:21:52. > :21:54.between the M5 and the entrance to Tewkesbury, at roughly the place
:21:55. > :22:02.where the Yorkists launched their attack. You will get some ribbing,
:22:03. > :22:05.as you are a Lancastrian. Yes. I keeps saying I want them to change
:22:06. > :22:12.the result to make it to Lancaster winning! Even for Phil, I can't see
:22:13. > :22:19.that happening. She admits she has not had much
:22:20. > :22:22.sleep but who can blame her. We re talking about Jenny Jones from
:22:23. > :22:28.Bristol. She has been celebrating winning bronze for Great Britain in
:22:29. > :22:33.the women's slopestyle snowboard event at the Winter Olympics in
:22:34. > :22:42.Sochi. It is our first medal in these games and her home city is
:22:43. > :22:46.proud of the achievement. She is the West's newest sporting star. It has
:22:47. > :22:52.been an emotional 24 hours for Jenny Jones. Today, the scale of her
:22:53. > :22:59.achievement is finally sinking in. It is starting to. It has just been
:23:00. > :23:04.a bit of a whirlwind so far. To represent my country in something is
:23:05. > :23:09.a great feeling and do actually have a medal to show for it is just
:23:10. > :23:15.unbelievable! This is where Jenny Jones grew up, Bristol. It is fair
:23:16. > :23:19.to say her achievement is the talk of the town today. I thought it was
:23:20. > :23:26.fantastic. Being a local girl as well, it could not be better. We are
:23:27. > :23:32.proud of her. For the first time, we had a champion from around here We
:23:33. > :23:36.are happy. If you would like to come in, we would be glad to give her our
:23:37. > :23:43.congratulations was up and a bag of chips! At her old school, they
:23:44. > :23:51.remember Jenny is being a sporting all`rounder. Very lively sort of
:23:52. > :23:57.person. Always happy to have a go at everything. She was a gymnast,
:23:58. > :24:04.played hockey and rounders, athletics, she did everything. Her
:24:05. > :24:08.journey began on a dry ski slope in Somerset. She used to practice here
:24:09. > :24:17.in Gloucester, the same slopes used by Eddie the Eagle. She learned here
:24:18. > :24:23.a long time ago. She has come up to help out with our freestyle Friday
:24:24. > :24:26.night, build up the sport and is basically a good representative of
:24:27. > :24:32.the sport to encourage other people to fulfil the dream. What next? The
:24:33. > :24:36.Mayor of Bristol wants a homecoming party for Jenny. I think we should
:24:37. > :24:41.do something a bit wacky and different and snow related. I am
:24:42. > :24:46.asking if people would sponsor something like snow on Park Street
:24:47. > :24:50.or at least for us to have some event. Last night, she was showing
:24:51. > :24:56.off some different moves in celebration. She is now an
:24:57. > :25:01.international star, whom this book can be read proud of.
:25:02. > :25:07.She made me cry yesterday! Now for the weather.
:25:08. > :25:11.I may have to sponsors and snow in the next couple of days. A very bad
:25:12. > :25:19.outlook for the next two days and I feel for those of you who are
:25:20. > :25:23.already its peers in clotting. There is more wet weather coming in in the
:25:24. > :25:30.morning. There will also be some squally wind. Foremost, it would be
:25:31. > :25:35.largely dry but quite cold. There are so of his warnings out again.
:25:36. > :25:40.The first of these is for the rain coming in. There will be some
:25:41. > :25:45.difficult driving conditions and that will exacerbate the flooding
:25:46. > :25:51.problems. Wednesday is giving me more concern. There will be some
:25:52. > :25:59.very strong winds associated with a storm that could get hired than what
:26:00. > :26:01.I have written there, above 70 mph. For the time being, this ridge of
:26:02. > :26:06.high pressure is making things quieten down. There is a feature
:26:07. > :26:10.into tomorrow morning, bringing the squally area of heavy rain. That
:26:11. > :26:14.clears away fairly quickly and through the afternoon, drier and
:26:15. > :26:19.brighter, with some showers. There is the threat is snow arriving in
:26:20. > :26:26.the middle of the night. For the rest of the night, no threat of any
:26:27. > :26:31.snow. In fact, the showers tend to. A dry face. These guys are largely
:26:32. > :26:35.clear for a while and then the rain comes in in the early hours was the
:26:36. > :26:40.return is pretty heavy, particularly the back edge. Temperatures tonight
:26:41. > :26:44.typically tween one and three Celsius. It will be a wet and pretty
:26:45. > :26:53.windy start to things tomorrow morning. All of that clears away
:26:54. > :26:57.towards about mid way. If you showers aside, most areas are dry.
:26:58. > :27:02.Things start to turn more wintry as some cold air comes in. More
:27:03. > :27:05.particular so as we get towards the middle of the night. That is when we
:27:06. > :27:13.could see some snow actually lying across the parts of Gloucestershire.
:27:14. > :27:18.It will feel pretty cold and as we look beyond that it will be all eyes
:27:19. > :27:21.to Wednesday. There is an ample warning and I'll focus on that
:27:22. > :27:28.tomorrow. There is more rain on the way towards the end of the week
:27:29. > :27:30.Look after your voice, we need you! That is all from us. We are back at
:27:31. > :27:34.10pm. For now, good night.
