:00:43. > :00:47.Was everything all right today at school? For the pupils it w`s a
:00:48. > :00:50.painful lesson. We were talk ago pit and she got sellotape out and asked
:00:51. > :00:55.us to line up and started sticking us to line up and started sticking
:00:56. > :01:03.tape over our mouths. All of you? Yes. Did it hurt? Yes. Some people

:01:41. > :01:43.take what has happened to bd entirely wrong. It should h`ve not
:01:44. > :01:47.happened. The school has tonight issued a letter to parents

:01:53. > :01:58.very, very seriously. The wdll`being of our children is vital to us. An

:03:18. > :03:25.recorded in official figures compiled by the Bristol Chidrns
:03:26. > :03:28.Hospital. `` childrens Hosphtal Hospital death rates are crtcial.
:03:29. > :03:32.Bristol has slipped from nulber three out of ten to seven over

:03:36. > :03:40.Luke died the official stathstics say there were no deaths of children
:03:41. > :03:44.who had Luke's type of heart operation. Luke's parents complained
:03:45. > :03:49.to the medical director of the NHS, Sir Bruce Keogh and they've had an
:03:50. > :03:59.e`mail back from his office. It says:
:04:00. > :04:11.Two years on and still no answers, still no truth from them. It just
:04:12. > :04:15.means everything is more difficult, they shouldn't be putting us through
:04:16. > :04:20.this. They put us through enough taking Luke and to put us through
:04:21. > :04:26.extra stuff as well, which hsn't needed, is pretty disgusting. The
:04:27. > :04:30.hospital say they take the recording of mortality data very seriously and
:04:31. > :04:35.that when they discovered this in January they reported it to the
:04:36. > :04:40.national registry. They say that as they haven't been able to gdt to the
:04:41. > :04:46.bottom of why this happened they suggested a joint investigation with
:04:47. > :04:52.Nicor and the office of Nathonal Statistics. The hospital sax even
:04:53. > :04:55.when `` even when they take into account Luke's death their lortality

:05:41. > :05:43.Bridgwater which has been underwater for a month. Services have been
:05:44. > :05:46.badly disrupted because of the weather, but today Network Rail said
:05:47. > :05:54.as soon as the floodwater goes down, they should be able to run ` limited
:05:55. > :05:57.service. We really need to see the bottom of the embankment to do an
:05:58. > :06:02.assessment. We are hoping to do that as the waters go down even further.
:06:03. > :06:06.If all goes well we may be `ble to put some service back in within a
:06:07. > :06:10.couple of weeks. That's largely depentedent on the state of what we
:06:11. > :06:14.find `` dependent. There is more news and information on your local
:06:15. > :06:18.BBC radio stations and online and that special debate will be on in a
:06:19. > :06:21.few minutes here on BBC1. For now, let's look at the weather.
:06:22. > :06:26.Thank you. After a cold night we can expect tomorrow to start with a
:06:27. > :06:31.widespread frost and patches of fog, as well. Once we clear that out of
:06:32. > :06:35.the way a pleasant day is on offer with generally speaking a good deal
:06:36. > :06:38.of sunshine at times and it will be feeling quite mild for the lajority.
:06:39. > :06:46.Temperatures tonight will gdt down easily to one or two in somd parts
:06:47. > :06:52.of countryside, below freezhng. Fog, as well, and up through parts of the
:06:53. > :06:58.Severn Valley. Some of that could take to 10.00 tomorrow to clear out
:06:59. > :07:01.of the way. Further east here of the clearer skies. More cloud spilling
:07:02. > :07:05.in through the course of thd afternoon. That cloud is likely to
:07:06. > :07:09.be fragile, so still breaks in that and the winds will be light. It will
:07:10. > :07:13.be a dry day, cloud or not. Temperatures will respond in the
:07:14. > :07:18.brighter spells, up to about ten or 11. Some of you may be sitthng at
:07:19. > :07:21.about eight or nine but feeling comparatively mild. A look `t the
:07:22. > :07:25.outlook: Through Thursday and Friday we do have more cloud around, some
:07:26. > :07:28.patchy light rain at times. Similar story to the weekend but next week
:07:29. > :07:32.is looking promising with hhgh pressure in charge.
:07:33. > :07:39.And with more on that, here is the National forecast.
:07:40. > :07:44.Good evening. The skies across England and Wales are clearing. It
:07:45. > :07:52.will turn cold once again. A different story for Scotland and
:07:53. > :07:56.Northern Ireland. But ahead of that, the skies are clearing for England
:07:57. > :08:02.and Wales. It will turn cold, so we will start tomorrow with a frost and
:08:03. > :08:08.will also be some fog around. The frost will set in, getting down to
:08:09. > :08:11.three below in rural spots. It is not until the latter part of the
:08:12. > :08:16.night where we will see the fog thickening up. All while, the wind
:08:17. > :08:18.is increasing. And we will see some rain setting in by dawn. That
:08:19. > :08:27.combination will keep temperatures above freezing. In rural spots,
