soon. That is all from the BBC News at Six, goodbye from me. On BBC One | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to BBC Points West with Liz Beacon and David Garmston. Our main | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
story tonight: The tragedy of baby Rohan. He was born prematurely but | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
died after a nurse removed his ventilator at a Bristol hospital. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
His parents speak of their loss as the coroner talks of missed | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
opportunities. He was just our little boy. He really was perfect, | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
and a real character. Tonight we examine the care that Rohan | :00:33. | :00:49. | |
received. Our other headlines tonight: Mourning their son ` the | :00:50. | :00:52. | |

the hidden story of the west country mules who went on to serve in the | :01:06. | :01:26. | |
Great War. Good evening. A coroner today spoke of "lost opportunities" | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
after a baby boy died at a Bristol hospital. Rohan Rhodes was treated | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
at St Michael's in the summer of 2012, because of problems with his | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
heart, but died just two days after he arrived. His parents say the care | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
he received there just wasn't good enough. Laura Jones reports. He was | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
a very lively baby. He loved being sung to. That was his favourite | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
thing, being sung to. Baby Rohan was just five weeks old, when he died at | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
St Michael's hospital in Bristol. He'd been born prematurely, in | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Swansea, and had a problem with his heart, so had been transferred to | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
the specialist unit for treatment. The inquest heard that although | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Rohan was a poorly baby and needed help to breathe, he had been in a | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
stable condition at the hospital in Swansea. He'd been digesting his | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
feeds well and putting on weight. However, just two days after | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
arriving at the hospital in Bristol, he died. For three days, his parents | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
Alex and Bronwyn Rhodes have come here to the Coroner's Court looking | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
for answers about what happened They blame their son's death on a | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
catalogue of errors by hospital staff. Especially, they say, a | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
decision to take him off his ventilator, which was made by a | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
nurse ` Amanda Dallorozo ` without consulting with a doctor. A decision | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
which she said she was qualified to make, but one which was questioned | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
in court. He was very unwell. He was staring into space and very pale and | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
lifeless. Where normally, he would follow our voices around and be | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
aware of our presence. Quite clearly, he was not coping. The | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
consultant in charge of Rohan's care, Dr David Harding, seen here | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
with the folders, said that he did not believe the decision to take | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Rohan off the ventilator had contributed to his death ` from a | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
serious bowel inflammation. But he confirmed that basic tests to see | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
how he was, which should have been carried out, were not. Today, the | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
coroner said there were three occasions upon which tests should | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
have been carried out on Rohan Rhodes. She said that although it | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
was not known what the result of those tests would have been, these | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
were lost opportunities which may have resulted in Rohan Rhodes | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
receiving earlier medical care. We are relieved that the inquest is | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
over, that the ordeal is over. We're happy that the coroner did find some | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
lost opportunities. We are disappointed that she didn't, in her | :03:57. | :04:09. | |
findings. It should never have happened. Laura's here now. Laura, | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
what have the hospital trust had to say about this today? The hospital | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
offers their sincere condolences to Rohan's family ` they say they | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
believe the coroner's conclusion reflects the sad situation that | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Rohan was an extremely premature baby and therefore at risk of | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
developing the serious bowel condition from which he ultimately | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
succumbed. We have been open and honest with the parents that we had | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
an immediate investigation which highlighted certain errors of | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
clinical judgement for which we have apologised, but we put in new terms | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
that smacked new guidelines in terms of blood gas management, which | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
should prevent this happening in future. And Laura there have also | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
been questions about staffing levels on that unit, at that time. There | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
have. The inquest heard that the weekend at the end of August 20 2, | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
which Rohan spent at the hospital ` had been exceptionally busy. In | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
fact, Dr Harding, who you saw in my report there, described it as the | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
busiest and worst of his career However, the trust today addressed | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
that issue, saying that improvements had been made. We care for some of | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
the sickest babies around the region, from Cornwall to Wales, and | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
on that weekend, Rohan Rhodes was admitted at a time when we had to | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
respond to an enormous number of cases coming through, and we phoned | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
in extra staff to help, so I think we did remarkably well through that | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
time. And the parents of Rohan Rhodes say that they hope that no | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
other parents will have to go through what they had to. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
The family of a man who was killed when he stepped into the path of a | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
lorry have received an apology from Avon and Somerset police over their | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
handling of the original incident. It follows criticism of the force | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
for failing to gather enough evidence. The driver of the lorry | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
which killed Jake Thompson has been cleared of causing death by careless | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
driving. Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent, Steve Brodie. Jake | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Thompson died of severe head injuries in May 2011 five days after | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
he was hit by a lorry here at the Three Lamps junction of the A4 and | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
the A37. Paul Vowles who came to court accused of causing the | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
teacher's death by careless driving was cleared of any wrong doing by | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
the trial judge who directed the jury to find him not guilty. Jake's | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
parents had fought a long campaign to bring the case to court after the | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Crown Prosecution Service had originally decided the police had | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
not provided enough evidence to justify a trial. We are devastated | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
and appalled but after a two`year battle for justice the full facts of | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
the case were not put before a jury and court to decide the art from. We | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
feel so deceived either police, we feel that they are led us down the | :07:02. | :07:11. | |
garden path once again. Following criticisms from Jake Thompson's | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
family, the Independent Police Complaints Commission, ordered Avon | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
and Somerset Police to examine its handling of the accident. And the | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
force admits its own original investigation had been poor, and | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
that four officers had been given management advice. Whilst there was | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
no misconduct, there were clear areas of performance in the | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
investigation and we have dealt with those management `` those officers | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
by management action, giving them advice around their conduct to make | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
sure that those mistakes could not happen again, and what came out of | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
it was that we found there were grounds to reinvestigate the | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
original collision. A jury heard how Paul Vowles was driving at 38 mph as | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
he travelled through these traffic lights, but was below the speed | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
limit when he collided with Jake. Crucially the court was told that Mr | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Thompson had stepped into the path of the lorry two seconds before the | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
pelican crossing warning lights changed from red to green. Mr and | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Mrs Thomson are right to be angry. They have conducted themselves with | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
absolute dignity through this process. They are right to be upset | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
with the conduct of the first investigation. I have apologised to | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
them personally, as has the previous chief constable when he met with | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
them personally, and I extend my apologies to them for the conduct of | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
the investigation and for the loss of their son in such tragic | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
circumstances. When his trial was halted, Paul Vowles' barrister said | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
his client expressed his sadness at the family's loss. It has been nice | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
to see some use and whether today but the flooding is still very much | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
with us. A huge warehouse is keeping people from flooded villages on the | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
Somerset Levels stocked up with food and supplies. The centre has been | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
set up and staffed by local volunteers, but has taken in | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
donations from across Europe. Andrew Plant has been along to take a look. | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
It is a standard everyday driver `` diver's dry suit. The floodwater | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
between this couple and their home is now below chest height ` for the | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
first time in weeks. The idea is that I can pull stuff out of the | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
water and hopefully not get myself wet. Mark and Sarah Corthine left | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
almost everything behind. OK, guys, can you unpack the banks? `` bags. | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
What started in a storeroom now taking the time of dozens of | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
volunteers. Sorting through piles of clothing. This just one row in a | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
warehouse full of help for those forced out of their homes. From food | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
to shower gel, bottled water to blankets. It's not just farmers but | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
families affected by the floods The water is still in the houses, you | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
cannot drive down to your house People think because it is sunny and | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
it is drying down slightly, that the water is going to roll back in, but | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
it is not the case, it is going to be months. Many fled in darkness | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
with no washbag. No wellingtons Even no toys for their children Sue | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
Crocker is here to look for some shoes. This is a very important | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
place. We are living day`to`day on a mobile phone, trying to deal with | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
the insurance, it is a nightmare. This is not a charity. Everyone here | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
is a volunteer. The scale of it is beyond imagining. It is volunteers, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
not government organisations, who are helping. So for Mark and Sarah, | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
stocking up on the things they left floating in several feet of water. I | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
am just so thankful that people have been so generous in their thoughts | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
for others. In a difficult situation like we are in. And this afternoon a | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
long walk in waders to see what they can salvage from the photos and | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
memories that no amount of donations can ever replace. And while Andrew | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
was in Bridgwater today he came across a lost teddy. Let's take a | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
look at him. There's an appeal to reunite said Teddy with its owner on | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
our Facebook page. It's worth taking a look at. Someone is missing, I am | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
sure. It is a lot like mine! Coming up, a lesson in a different class. | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
An Olympic athlete goes back to her old school to teach skeleton to a | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
new generation. A Somali teenager from Bristol who's | :11:43. | :11:53. | |
campaigning against young girls becoming victims of mutilating | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
surgery has received a promise that the Government will write to all | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
schools about the issue. Fahma Mohamed presented the Education | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
Secretary, Michael Gove with a petition signed by more than 20 ,000 | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
people yesterday. I am just thankful for every single person who has | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
signed the petition and supported us along the way. Everyone, if it was | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
not for them, we would never have met him let alone him agreeing to | :12:25. | :12:38. | |
what we wanted, which is amazing. The Fairtrade logo has become a | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
familiar sight on products that aim to give producers in the developing | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
world a better financial deal. But what happens when an entire west | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
country village becomes a fairtrade area and what does being a fairtrade | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
village actually mean? Andy Howard's been finding out. On the broadside | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
between the school and Bath, a mysterious white object has appeared | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
`` between the store and Bath. These signs announce that Saltford is a | :12:59. | :13:12. | |
Fairtrade village. Any idea what it means for Saltford? Not really. I | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
will ask in the Co`op. Any idea what it means? It means that you are | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
getting a good price for your food, I think. All it means is that the | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
local council and businesses have to use Fairtrade when they can, and a | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
Fairtrade group is set up to raise awareness. It brings the community | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
together. It means that Saltford is showing how they feel about | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
developing countries, helping others. But it is only a little bit | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
of help. The village only needs Fairtrade products `` four Fairtrade | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
products in the shop 's to qualify. In nearby Keynsham, they aren't | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
going further, with their own fair trade church and fire station. It | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
has been a Fairtrade town for nine years and the people who set it up | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
say that it is really making a difference. I remember one farmer | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
telling me that the children had shoes, then, the children can go to | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
school, and they all had an education so it changed completely | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
the way they live. To pay a little more for Fairtrade products still | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
comes down to personal choice, but 44 pounds, villages and cities | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
across the West are now Fairtrade areas, even if some do not quite | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
managed yet. `` do not quite know it yet. More unusual stories are | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
emerging of the role the west country played in the First World | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
War. Tonight as we continue our series, World War One at Home, | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
David's been finding out how mules came through Somerset on the way to | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
the western front. These tough animals are a cross between a horse | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
and a donkey, and the army needed thousands of them for war work. Our | :15:17. | :15:28. | |
journey takes us to the Somerset coastline. We're following in the | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
footsteps of the war mules who were trained here and were shod in this | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
forge. Before sharing the horrors with their human masters on the | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
Western Front. We start our day on the 1025 from Bishop's Lydiard, | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
packed with excited families. This is the West Somerset Railway. Today | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
this line is a beautiful tourist attraction. ` but 100 years ago it | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
was part of the war effort. At the outbreak of war in 1914 all railways | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
were taken under the control of the Government and many of the staff on | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
this Somerset lying enlisted for active service, but the wartime | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
passengers were joined by some unusual visitors from South America. | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
They were mules, a tough cross between a horse and a donkey, which | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
made them ideal for war work. They were imported from Argentina to | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
Avonmouth and made the last few months of their journey by rail in | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
carriages like this one, which has been restored. Mostly cattle is and | :16:38. | :16:49. | |
this was for two courses. They would have been taking out the partition | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
so that they could pack more mules in because they were so much | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
smaller. The mule train went right to the end of the line ` to | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
Minehead. During the First World War, passengers on this concourse | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
would have been joined by those mules who were brought here to | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
recover their strength before being dropped the front line where they | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
would do a lot of the heavy lifting for the Armed Forces. It is one of | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
those small but fascinating untold stories of the great War. It's here | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
that I meet Rita Tremain ` who is a volunteer for a horse rescue charity | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
called Brooks. She's researched the mules' story. They are strong and | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
they have a calm temperament. If you wanted someone pulling a gun for you | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
in the middle of a battle, then the mule would be ideal. They brought in | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
horses from round the Commonwealth but they discovered that they could | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
bring in meals from Argentina and the southern states of America. They | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
would be about the size of Lacey here. At the local forge they have | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
found 100`year`old shoes that were beaten into shape for the mules The | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
local blacksmith showed me the traditional way of making them. I | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
have tried to make a replica of this mule shoe. Probably made in the | :18:16. | :18:27. | |
spores. `` in this forge. I am bringing the fire after a good heat | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
to start pressing. They would have done hundreds of these? Absolutely | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
yes. This forge would have had two fires going. | :18:42. | :18:54. | |
Lots were needed because during the course of the conflict, 200,000 | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
mules were emoployed by the Army. This is the original? This is the | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
original. And that is today's version. This was known as Somerset | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
mule depot 11 and 12 and 120 men were employed to look after the | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
animals. After the war, the mules were not needed and many of them | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
ended up as food for the French and the Belgians, but perhaps 100 years | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
on from the conflict, it is time to remember the role that they played. | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
On tomorrow's programme Alex will be reporting on the exploits of a pilot | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
who was the first man to down a zeppelin. And BBC Wiltshire will be | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
exploring that story of Rex Warneford on their breakfast | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
programme at 8.15am. It has been fascinating, doing this series. | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Thanks for watching and giving us your support for it. "A crazy seven | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
minutes" is how Cheltenham Town s manager described it. Mark Yates | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
watched his side concede four quick goals against Chesterfield. It | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
effectively ended the game as a contest before half`time. Alistair | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Durden starts his look at last night's games at Whaddon Road. Any | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
Cheltenham fans who went to get a pie and a cup of tea 20 minutes in, | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
will have missed the crucial part of this game. It was 0`0 at that point, | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
but then Chesterfield went on the rampage. The Robins had barely | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
re`started before the ball was in their net again two minutes later. | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
Another two minutes passed, another goal. And barely six minutes after | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
the first had gone in, this header made it 4`0. Not even half an hour | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
played, and just pride to play for. Cheltenham did score the only goal | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
of the second half. Believe it or not, it was one of our better | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
performances. We had a crazy seven minutes, which was shocking at best. | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
You cannot legislate for that. Swindon's goals have dried up. | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
Missing key attacking players, it was down to defender Nathan Byrne to | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
give them the lead. But an equaliser from Matt Tubbs made it three home | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
games without a win. Swindon will need to discover their finishing | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
touch if they're to challenge for the play`offs. Tonight we did OK | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
until we got the final third of pitch and we were not good in the | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
final third, the strikers did not hold the ball up, and if they don't | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
do that, then you struggle to get anything. Scunthorpe scored five on | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
Saturday so Bristol Rovers fans might have feared the worst when | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
they fell behind in the first half. But it stayed 1`0 until the 89th | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
minute when Stephen Gillespie scored a deserved equaliser ` his first | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
goal for the club. Now we all know that the west breeds | :21:52. | :22:06. | |
Skeleton champions ` Lizzy Yarnold the latest to bring a gold back to | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
Bath from Sochi. But did you know that a North Somerset athlete | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
whizzed down the ice in the Olympics, representing New Zealand? | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
I didn't know that. Today Katharine Eustace returned to her old school | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
in Flax Bourton to inspire some of the children to follow their dreams | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
and give it a go. Ali Vowles reports. Are we ready? It was a | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
special day at this primary School, as you not do not often get an | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Olympian attending. Especially one that went to your school. I think it | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
would have been an exceptional careers adviser to predict this | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
Katharine Eustace was born in London. I must pass that message of | :22:49. | :23:02. | |
good luck on. Today, she was giving these pupils test of what it is like | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
to get on and travel at speeds. You can see where you are going. I want | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
to be an Olympic athlete and I find it exciting because she was brave | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
enough to do that. It looks quite fun because you go down very quick. | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
It took a lot of courage to do. Catherine moved to New Zealand after | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
a spell travelling. She did not take up the sport until 2008, six years | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
on, she is at her first Olympics, as one of the skeleton's oldest | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
competitor. I was still managing to do hold my own despite being one of | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
the oldest girls. Everything, most of the backing I have had from team | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
New Zealand, but I wonder whether a larger programme, what I could have | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
maybe achieved, but I am happy with what I did. Like any Williams and | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
Lizzy Yarnold, Catherine is determined to inspire young people. | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
I never gave up. I realised it was something I wanted to do, so I just | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
kept going. If I got the chance I would give it a go. | :24:18. | :24:27. | |
Good to see them getting all fired up, isn't it? Give it a go, I will | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
be right behind you. Ten miles behind you! Now the weather. Is the | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
sunshine going to last? It was a pleasant afternoon for the | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
tomorrow is going to bring some sunshine but also the threat of some | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
heavy showers. The picture of this spectacular downpour was taken at | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
Clevedon. I going to run this route early Friday. Tonight, we have some | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
rain on the way and some rather windy weather. Tomorrow, reasonable | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
weather through the morning with heavy showers packing in through the | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
course of the afternoon. Then comes this complication, this area of low | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
pressure developing to the West moving east through to the end of | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
Friday, and depending on the track of that, we will have windy weather | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
to the south, and the threat of some snow to the North. This is a | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
dichotomy in the forecast but we are travelling to unravel. We will | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
update you tomorrow on what the fortunes of likely to be. This | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
evening, decent conditions, high cloud spilling in ahead of this band | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
of rain which we will see from midnight onwards. The wind, gusting | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
up to 35 mph. And as things stand, by daybreak, it should be out of the | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
way and the rush hour should not be affected by those conditions. | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
Temperatures should get down to about four Celsius. Tomorrow, | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
hopefully the rain will be off down the M4 corridor. And as we get a | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
lunchtime onwards, further share was starting to pack in. Some of those | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
will be heavy with hailstones and the threat of lightning, and then we | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
returned a decent spell of weather, then the next element styles to | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
march in and this will be a feature into the early hours of Friday | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
morning, and it will continue to be an irritation over the course of | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
Friday it self. The possibility of a threat of snow, but we shall see. | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
Temperatures at least eight Celsius in the sunshine tomorrow. That's | :26:54. | :27:02. | |
about it from us for now. I'll be back at ten with an update. The | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
entire team returns tomorrow. For now, goodbye. | :27:10. | :27:11. |
