:00:00. > :00:08.Our main story tonight. - on BBC One we
:00:09. > :00:12.Our main story tonight. The Bonfire Night disaster on the
:00:13. > :00:20.M5. The families gather at the inquest to hear how their loved ones
:00:21. > :00:24.died. It will always be a p`inful thing. The pain will never go. But
:00:25. > :00:28.I'm learning more through coming down here than we did at Brhstol
:00:29. > :00:32.Crown Court, I'm sorry to s`y. We find out why it's taken mord than
:00:33. > :00:39.two years for the case to come to the Coroner's court.
:00:40. > :00:44.Our other headlines tonight. Getting stuck in, the dredgers start to
:00:45. > :00:48.clear the rivers on the Somdrset Levels after the flood waters
:00:49. > :00:51.finally subside. Fit, strong and healthy, but how
:00:52. > :01:02.well prepared are the west country's 30`somethings for their old age I'm
:01:03. > :01:06.30 years old, and I have no pension. Money is tight. Mortgage to pay
:01:07. > :01:08.stuff like that, back of thd mind, really. Last thing I'm thinking
:01:09. > :01:12.about. And 4`0 down and at the bottom of
:01:13. > :01:19.the table, now the Glovers `re hanging on by their fingerthps.
:01:20. > :01:22.An inquest into the deaths of seven people, killed in a motorwax pile up
:01:23. > :01:27.in Somerset has been hearing details of the last moments before they
:01:28. > :01:30.died. The inquest follows the collapse of a court case brought
:01:31. > :01:33.against the organiser of a fireworks display close to where the crash
:01:34. > :01:41.happened. Our Somerset corrdspondent Clinton Rogers was at the hdaring in
:01:42. > :01:44.Taunton. For the second time in a matter of
:01:45. > :01:51.months, the families of the victims came to hear exactly what h`ppened
:01:52. > :01:56.the night their loved ones died The inquest here follows the collapse of
:01:57. > :01:59.criminal proceedings against the man who was running a fireworks display
:02:00. > :02:05.right next to a motorway close to where the collisions occurrdd.
:02:06. > :02:11.Originally, Geoffrey Counsell faced seven charges of manslaughtdr. Those
:02:12. > :02:18.charges were dropped and in the end he went to trial accused of 1% under
:02:19. > :02:26.the health and safety at work act. `` accused of one offence. When that
:02:27. > :02:29.trial elapsed, the coroner ordered an inquest. So another inqudst to
:02:30. > :02:35.pore over the reasons why this happened on the night of November
:02:36. > :02:38.four, 2011. The families who were here said that although it was a
:02:39. > :02:44.painful experience, it was necessary. I think there will always
:02:45. > :02:49.be something to learn from this case and any other case. So you think an
:02:50. > :02:57.inquest is necessary? I think so, yes, and I think because it does
:02:58. > :03:01.finalise things to an extent. It'll always be a painful thing. The pain
:03:02. > :03:08.will never go. But I'm learning here more than we did at Bristol Crown
:03:09. > :03:11.Court, I'm sorry to say. Today the West Somerset coroner Michadl Rose
:03:12. > :03:16.said that most of the seven victims died from crash injuries but one
:03:17. > :03:22.perished in the terrible fire that started after the collisions. As in
:03:23. > :03:26.last year's court case, there was conflicting evidence today `bout
:03:27. > :03:31.conditions on the M5 at the time of the crash. Among drivers called to
:03:32. > :03:35.give evidence, there was disagreement on whether vishbility
:03:36. > :03:42.had been badly reduced and hf so by what. Fogg, missed or smoke. The
:03:43. > :03:49.foreigners are `` the corondr said that was not in dispute was that
:03:50. > :03:53.some drivers had become disoriented by lack of visibility, whatdver
:03:54. > :03:58.caused it. Clearly a difficult day for everyone
:03:59. > :04:03.involved? Yes, it was, and tomorrow, it resumes. At thd inquest
:04:04. > :04:08.in the hall behind me we will be hearing from the Avon and Somerset
:04:09. > :04:11.police crash investigator, ` man who spent many weeks looking at
:04:12. > :04:15.accepting what happened on that motorway, who crashed into whom
:04:16. > :04:20.essentially in painstaking detail, deconstructing what happened on that
:04:21. > :04:25.motorway on that terrible nhght His evidence and the cross`examhnation
:04:26. > :04:28.is likely to take all day. The inquest will last two weeks.
:04:29. > :04:31.The long awaited operation to start dredging the Somerset Levels is
:04:32. > :04:35.underway. The diggers were tested over the weekend, and are now up and
:04:36. > :04:39.running, clearing a 200 metre stretch of river bed. It's the start
:04:40. > :04:43.of a 20 year plan to hopefully provide some flood relief to the
:04:44. > :04:48.area. Our reporter Fiona Laldin has spent the day in Burrowbridge.
:04:49. > :04:58.The Somerset Levels before `nd after. The muddy brown waters have
:04:59. > :05:01.been replaced with green shoots of recovery. The road from Burrowbridge
:05:02. > :05:06.to Moorland was passable only by tractor. Two months on and ht's now
:05:07. > :05:09.a dry drive to the dredgers. It s day one of the seven month lission
:05:10. > :05:18.dredging five miles of the rivers Tone and Parrott. This dredging is
:05:19. > :05:22.not about making the river `ny deeper, it is all about makhng it
:05:23. > :05:27.wider, 30% wider. It may look like I'm standing on the river b`nk. I am
:05:28. > :05:32.not, I am standing on silt which has built up over the last 20 ydars
:05:33. > :05:36.This has now all got to go, taking it back to what it looked lhke in
:05:37. > :05:39.the 60s. Seven miles away in North Curry, John's fields are full of
:05:40. > :05:48.black rotting grass. They' ve been underwater for three months costing
:05:49. > :05:52.him thousands. This field bdhind me now would normally have abott 2 or
:05:53. > :05:56.25 head of cattle in it. Prdtty much all summer. And it is going to have
:05:57. > :05:59.nothing. Instead he takes us to where they'll be spending the
:06:00. > :06:06.summer. He's just pleased the dredging has started. I am
:06:07. > :06:09.absolutely delighted that they're doing it. It's brilliant. It won't
:06:10. > :06:14.save flooding, don't get me wrong, but it'll save that depth and the
:06:15. > :06:18.time that the land is underwater. But it's not a cheap option, costing
:06:19. > :06:22.?5 million pounds. So is it a one off? The Environment Agency won t be
:06:23. > :06:27.drawn. Whether or not dredghng occurs is a matter for oursdlves and
:06:28. > :06:30.our partners and the communhty to come together and discuss, `nd make
:06:31. > :06:33.some decisions about how we spend the money the government ard
:06:34. > :06:39.allocating. But local polithcians are confident this will now be an
:06:40. > :06:41.annual event. Every year, wd definitely will dredge and the
:06:42. > :06:48.reason is there is good to be a change of government `` govdrnance
:06:49. > :06:54.this year which means it will be handed back to the drainage board,
:06:55. > :06:58.so they will be responsible which happened before 1995 when there was
:06:59. > :07:02.never a problem. The Prime Linister promised today became a reality In
:07:03. > :07:05.the hope that the net `` thd levels never drown under floodwater like
:07:06. > :07:08.this again. Now it's something that most of us
:07:09. > :07:13.don't really want to think `bout, getting older. But the realhty is
:07:14. > :07:17.more of us are doing it! Thd good news of course, is that we `re
:07:18. > :07:21.living longer, and enjoying better health. But that means our savings
:07:22. > :07:23.have to stretch. So we thought we'd ask you what you think about growing
:07:24. > :07:28.older. What do you call old? Probably
:07:29. > :07:34.anything over the age of 30 at the moment. 30 years is old? No, about
:07:35. > :07:38.60 I think is old when you start to think about retirement and things
:07:39. > :07:42.like that. Well, it depends on how you live your life. I know people in
:07:43. > :07:46.their mid`60s and they're still fit and probably go out more th`n I do.
:07:47. > :07:51.So when do you think you wotld start thinking about things like that Not
:07:52. > :07:55.for like another 30 years, probably. You definitely need to think about
:07:56. > :07:59.the future but at the same time I am still only 22 and want to lhve in
:08:00. > :08:05.the now. Do you think very luch about your later years? I try not
:08:06. > :08:10.to, to be honest. I guess I do. I think more about the fact I've got
:08:11. > :08:15.young children. And so I thhnk about what it would be like to be a
:08:16. > :08:18.grandparent. So the idea th`t I will actually have 24/7 free timd,
:08:19. > :08:26.certainly when I look ahead, I don't think it will be that. So you'll be
:08:27. > :08:29.working till 62? Yeah. How do you feel about working until yot're 62?
:08:30. > :08:35.I'd rather not, but I think it's case of having to. So Barry, do you
:08:36. > :08:38.think about your later years? I do so because my parents have recently
:08:39. > :08:43.retired and my in`laws had just retired. So my parents have always
:08:44. > :08:49.drummed into us to plan frol an early age. So yes. Me personally I
:08:50. > :08:53.don't think about saving, btt my mum is always on to me about putting a
:08:54. > :08:57.pension aside because by thd time we're older we're not going to have
:08:58. > :09:01.pensions, so it's something I need to start taking seriously.
:09:02. > :09:05.Just a few thoughts there. So how prepared is the West for retirement?
:09:06. > :09:08.Well, we've spoken to 1,000 people living here aged between 30 and 65,
:09:09. > :09:13.but yet to retire, maybe yot were one of them? We wanted to fhnd out
:09:14. > :09:17.what you think and perhaps lore importantly how much you've got
:09:18. > :09:20.tucked away for your golden years. When it comes to money, 66% of the
:09:21. > :09:25.people we spoke to say they're confident they'll be financhally
:09:26. > :09:29.secure. 30% are worried. And, perhaps not surprisingly, confidence
:09:30. > :09:33.falls the younger you are. Just over half of people in their thirties
:09:34. > :09:36.think they'll be OK. We had a chat too about pensions, propertx and
:09:37. > :09:40.savings. Around half think their assets will help them pay for their
:09:41. > :09:45.retirement. Just 13% think they ll have more than enough! We'll be
:09:46. > :09:48.sharing more of our poll results throughout the week. You've had lots
:09:49. > :09:51.of really interesting things to say about when you'd like to stop
:09:52. > :09:55.working compared with when xou actually think you might and whether
:09:56. > :10:01.or not retirement is somethhng to look forward to.
:10:02. > :10:14.But why have so many people got so little saved for their retirement?
:10:15. > :10:16.It's a question that's taxing politicians and economists `like,
:10:17. > :10:20.and one of the country's le`ding pensions experts is with us tonight
:10:21. > :10:24.to help us answer it. He is Tom McPhail. Tom's been out with our
:10:25. > :10:26.business correspondent, Davd Harvey, talking to people caught up in this
:10:27. > :10:29.pensions crisis. For many, pensions are eithdr too
:10:30. > :10:34.with. Not Tom McPhail. I can see with. Not Tom McPhail. I can see
:10:35. > :10:37.that there is this retirement savings crisis coming, therd are
:10:38. > :10:42.going to be millions of people who are not going to have enough money
:10:43. > :10:46.to live on. He's on a mission to get the West Country to wake up and get
:10:47. > :10:49.saving. So my message is, you have to take responsibility for this
:10:50. > :10:53.take an interest in how much you're saving and when you're going to be
:10:54. > :10:56.able to afford to retire because if you don't, you're not going to have
:10:57. > :11:00.anything to live on. There's no point telling people here hdre that.
:11:01. > :11:05.One of the UK's top finance firms, his colleagues already know the
:11:06. > :11:10.pension patter backwards. But what about here? Fresh from the
:11:11. > :11:20.office, young Bristolians work out at the city gym. You look around you
:11:21. > :11:23.here, there are people workhng hard, they're suffering in pain now
:11:24. > :11:28.because they know it will bring benefit later. Now, that's ` good
:11:29. > :11:32.metaphor for pensions. Are they willing to do the same sort of thing
:11:33. > :11:39.for their financial future? Not at the moment, no. But I probably will
:11:40. > :11:44.at some point. I think it ddpends on how I feel in the future. If I want
:11:45. > :11:48.to sign up to the one at work, then I will. But at the moment, H'm a bit
:11:49. > :11:52.unsure because I'm a bit yotng to think about it. And there's the rub.
:11:53. > :11:56.In our Points West survey, people in their 30s were the least likely to
:11:57. > :11:59.have a pension. And 40% said any pensions or savings they do have
:12:00. > :12:06.were not enough for a comfortable retirement. I'm 30 years old and I
:12:07. > :12:10.have no pension whatsoever. So Tom wants people like Ed to takd a
:12:11. > :12:14.financial work`out. Does th`t worry you, have you thought about what you
:12:15. > :12:22.are going to live on in rethrement? No, not really. I can barelx find
:12:23. > :12:26.the money to come here. Mondy is tight, mortgage to pay, so back of
:12:27. > :12:29.thinking about. Of course, there's thinking about. Of course, there's
:12:30. > :12:32.more to this than just squedzed budgets. Everyone here has `lready
:12:33. > :12:37.put money aside for their gxm membership. And is prepared to take
:12:38. > :12:42.some pain. But for many people, pensions are just simply on another
:12:43. > :12:46.planet. Living for every dax, as opposed to the future. We go out in
:12:47. > :12:50.our lunch hour and you're spending money so frequently, you live by the
:12:51. > :12:52.day, you don't really worry about the future or what's happenhng in 30
:12:53. > :12:56.years' time. You worry about that years' time. You worry about that
:12:57. > :13:00.when it comes to it. One interesting thing to think about is just
:13:01. > :13:04.choosing to delay starting ` pension for five years from 30 to 34 will
:13:05. > :13:09.knock around a third off thd eventual pension that you gdt in
:13:10. > :13:14.retirement. That much? Just for those five years. So I know it's
:13:15. > :13:18.worth me doing, but I might have to make a sacrifice in another area of
:13:19. > :13:23.my life in order to make thd contribution monthly. Sacrifice Not
:13:24. > :13:36.an easy message to sell. But has its time finally come?
:13:37. > :13:42.He is here on our sofa, he will He is here on our sofa, he will
:13:43. > :13:46.spend the week with us hopphng us to navigate our way through all this.
:13:47. > :13:50.Tonight, we were focusing on people in their 30s but do we all need to
:13:51. > :13:54.do more? There was a lot of positive news coming out of that we search,
:13:55. > :13:58.some good attitude in the wdst towards retirement. A lot of people
:13:59. > :14:02.confident about their retirdment. But it was also, when you look at
:14:03. > :14:05.the younger generations, thd thirtysomethings, that confhdence is
:14:06. > :14:11.lacking. There is more work to be done there. People are worrhed that
:14:12. > :14:16.they make their sacrifice in the old it `` younger years and then they
:14:17. > :14:19.will get a pittance in their older years anyway. The worrying thing if
:14:20. > :14:24.they do nothing at all is that the consequences could be even worse. It
:14:25. > :14:29.is good that people are savhng for retirement, we looked at thd assets,
:14:30. > :14:36.pensions and things, compardd to the national figures there is more work
:14:37. > :14:42.to be done. How does the West compared to the rest of the country?
:14:43. > :14:46.In the West, 70% of people we polled said they would use a company
:14:47. > :14:51.tension to provide for their retirement. Nationally, onlx around
:14:52. > :14:55.half the population is in a pension. There is an interesting scrhpt and
:14:56. > :15:00.see. We also know that nationally, the savings rates going into
:15:01. > :15:03.pensions are not enough, thd contribution rates are unlikely to
:15:04. > :15:07.lead to good levels of penshons so that poses interesting questions
:15:08. > :15:12.about what savings rate we `re seeing in the West. You are with us
:15:13. > :15:17.with us for the week, what `re you looking at? We have had a btsy week,
:15:18. > :15:22.we have been to the care holes, not to talk to the residents but the
:15:23. > :15:24.staff who work all about john a pension. We have been talking to
:15:25. > :15:28.them about how that has been going for them. We have been talkhng to
:15:29. > :15:31.property experts who have bden looking at bricks and mortar as an
:15:32. > :15:37.alternative to pensions, whhch a lot of people are interested in. And we
:15:38. > :15:42.have been to a fire station to talk to some fire crews. If you want to
:15:43. > :15:45.know why, you have to wait tntil Thursday! He is the perfect tease!
:15:46. > :15:48.Thank you, Tom. Now as well as asking peopld lots of
:15:49. > :15:51.questions in our survey abott their finances, we also wanted to find out
:15:52. > :15:56.about attitudes towards olddr people. Here are the thoughts of
:15:57. > :15:58.79`year`old comedian, Barry Cryer. The other thing I find when you get
:15:59. > :16:08.older, you become invisible. There's a conversation going on and
:16:09. > :16:11.you're the old one in the corner. I do notice that, you're invisible.
:16:12. > :16:15.And you probably wouldn't know what they're talking about anywax, the
:16:16. > :16:18.younger ones. In fact, 71% of people in our poll thought that elderly
:16:19. > :16:22.people were treated with less respect than they were 40 ydars ago.
:16:23. > :16:25.And you can share your thoughts on any of the issues raised in our
:16:26. > :16:36.poll, on the Points West Facebook page or on Twitter, using the
:16:37. > :16:40.hashtag #bbcolder. We'd lovd to know what you think. And a bit later
:16:41. > :16:45.in the programme we'll be fhnding out how we can improve the puality
:16:46. > :16:48.of our later years. Network Rail has announced details
:16:49. > :16:54.of ?700 million of improvemdnts in the West. Over the next fivd years
:16:55. > :16:57.the government money will ftnd 6 projects including new trains, extra
:16:58. > :17:03.lines from Bristol Parkway hnto the city, and upgrading Bristol Temple
:17:04. > :17:06.Meads station. It's linked to the electrification of the Great Western
:17:07. > :17:12.rail line which is due for completion by 2017.
:17:13. > :17:15.The West of England Local Enterprise Partnership has handed in a bid for
:17:16. > :17:21.?500 million from the Government Growth Fund. The partnership, which
:17:22. > :17:24.is made up of business people and councillors, unveiled its plans this
:17:25. > :17:27.morning. They include money for superfast broadband in Bristol, an
:17:28. > :17:33.aviation technology centre `t Filton and a scheme to harness tid`l energy
:17:34. > :17:39.in the Severn Estuary. A decision from Westminster is expected in
:17:40. > :17:41.July. Jenny Jones' achievement winning
:17:42. > :17:46.Britain's first ever Olympic medal on the snow will not be marked with
:17:47. > :17:49.a bronze postbox. South Gloucestershire Council had wanted
:17:50. > :17:52.to celebrate Jenny's medal hn the snowboard slopestyle with a postbox
:17:53. > :17:57.of the same colour in her n`tive Downend. But Royal Mail has turned
:17:58. > :18:00.down the request, saying thd painting of postboxes was unique to
:18:01. > :18:09.London 2012 when Britain was the host nation, and won't be rdpeated.
:18:10. > :18:12.It was their worst display of the season according to the man`ger and
:18:13. > :18:16.it's left Yeovil Town fans seriously doubting the club's ability to avoid
:18:17. > :18:19.relegation. Saturday's 4`1 home defeat to Barnsley left the Glovers
:18:20. > :18:25.bottom of the table and thrde points from safety. Yeovil gave aw`y 2 000
:18:26. > :18:30.free tickets to the game, btt the fans went home disappointed.
:18:31. > :18:34.We need a miracle now. The last few weeks we played well, we've been a
:18:35. > :18:37.bit unlucky at times but we showed some commitment. But today, it
:18:38. > :18:42.wasn't there. It's all catch up now, the games are running out f`st. And
:18:43. > :18:45.I don't think we'll do it now. We'll keep our hopes up until the last
:18:46. > :18:52.ball is, until it's mathematically impossible. It was supposed to be
:18:53. > :18:56.the day Yeovil climbed out of the relegation zone. But it was grim
:18:57. > :19:00.watching for the bumper crowd. Having impressed against sides at
:19:01. > :19:05.the top of the table, Yeovil were a pale imitation. Nerves led to
:19:06. > :19:11.mistakes which led to Barnsley goals. The home fans were stunned,
:19:12. > :19:17.as they were on the touchline. The manager described it as thehr worst
:19:18. > :19:20.performance of the season. Our boys didn't seem to put any part of
:19:21. > :19:24.Yeovil's game together todax. That was like a group of lads off the
:19:25. > :19:28.street that were just put together and thrown out there and asked them
:19:29. > :19:32.to play. It was hugely damaging result leaving them bottom of the
:19:33. > :19:36.table again. Charlton, the team just outside of the drop zone, h`ve three
:19:37. > :19:39.games in hand. Crucially, Ydovil play them next Tuesday, aftdr
:19:40. > :19:47.visiting Blackpool, another side still in danger. Two fixturds where
:19:48. > :19:51.only a win will do. While there s still a chance, we're not going to
:19:52. > :19:55.give up. But somehow got to drag the players out of this slumber that
:19:56. > :19:59.they had today. Certainly, ht's mathematically possible but if we
:20:00. > :20:03.play like that we will be bottom by a million miles. Yeovil havdn't
:20:04. > :20:07.looked out of place in the Championship, winning many `dmirers.
:20:08. > :20:16.But it's points not plaudits they need now to extend their st`y.
:20:17. > :20:20.Remember, tonight's Late Kick Off will have a recap of all of the
:20:21. > :20:27.weekend's goals. And their studio guest is Bristol City's Wadd
:20:28. > :20:30.Elliott. That's BBC One at 01.2 pm. Bristol Rugby scored a record 8
:20:31. > :20:33.points yesterday against bottom side Ealing to guarantee themselves a
:20:34. > :20:38.place in the end of season play`offs. They ran in 12 tries
:20:39. > :20:43.against the West Londoners hncluding this one from Iain Grieve from
:20:44. > :20:52.inside his own half. Bristol remain top of the Championship with three
:20:53. > :20:55.games of the regular season left. Now, if you heard the comedhan Barry
:20:56. > :20:59.Cryer earlier in the progralme, you'll know he thinks that `s you
:21:00. > :21:04.get older you become invisible. But are there are positive things about
:21:05. > :21:11.retirement? I think this tile of life is a window of opportunity
:21:12. > :21:15.When you're a kid, when I w`s a kid, you had to do what grown`ups
:21:16. > :21:18.told you to. When you work xou do what your boss tells you, when
:21:19. > :21:23.you're a little bit older, hopefully a lot older, I go in a nurshng home
:21:24. > :21:27.and have to put my hand up to go to the toilet. Now I can do wh`t I
:21:28. > :21:30.like. Wonderful. That was Glyn Davies, who's retired and clearly
:21:31. > :21:33.loves it. But if you're not finding getting older wonderful, is there
:21:34. > :21:39.anything or anybody that can help? Alice Bouverie's been taking a look.
:21:40. > :21:44.For many years, I believe that older people have been airbrushed out of
:21:45. > :21:48.the picture. There are about to paint themselves back in ag`in. The
:21:49. > :21:55.biggest generation in history is retiring. And what everyone wants is
:21:56. > :21:59.a good quality of life. The old stereotype is you put your slippers
:22:00. > :22:03.on and sink back into the sofa and have your tea in front of the TV.
:22:04. > :22:07.But of course it doesn't have to be like that at all. And just recently
:22:08. > :22:10.a whole raft of new initiathves have started encouraging people to be
:22:11. > :22:14.proactive and think about how they want to their life to look like as
:22:15. > :22:17.they get older. The biggest decision most people will have to make is
:22:18. > :22:23.about housing. That's where this showroom comes in. With demdntia,
:22:24. > :22:26.recognising the time of day. Look closer at the bathrooms and bedrooms
:22:27. > :22:29.and everything's fitted with the latest technology designed to help
:22:30. > :22:34.people stay in their own holes longer. We've been trying to catch
:22:35. > :22:38.people before it's too late to say, have a think about all the things
:22:39. > :22:41.that can make a difference. A lot of people think that they will be
:22:42. > :22:45.forced into residential homd, it's simply not the case. It's a bit like
:22:46. > :22:49.making a will, people think, I don't want to look at that, it won't
:22:50. > :22:53.happen to me. And if you don't want to live on your own, that c`n be
:22:54. > :22:55.arranged too. Through a schdme called Homeshare which pairs up
:22:56. > :23:00.people with different needs. It s just good to have somebody dlse
:23:01. > :23:07.living in the house. Becausd I'm disabled, I wouldn't be abld to get
:23:08. > :23:11.up. If something happened dtring the night, if there's a fire. It worked
:23:12. > :23:15.out quite well, it's very useful for me because I didn't have anxwhere to
:23:16. > :23:20.go at the time. And it's re`lly quite reasonable as well. And also,
:23:21. > :23:23.just the companionship. ??WHICH The reality is that for people getting
:23:24. > :23:29.older, isolation and loneliness is a real issue. The Bristol Olddr
:23:30. > :23:32.People's Forum recently found out that 51% of their members lhve alone
:23:33. > :23:35.which brings a whole range of challenges. If I wasn't with this
:23:36. > :23:39.team, I wouldn't be doing anything at home, I don't think. But also a
:23:40. > :23:42.whole range of solutions. Wd've got our cooking with friends cl`sses,
:23:43. > :23:47.it's an opportunity to get dverybody together. It's so important to get
:23:48. > :23:50.older adults out and about, give them a voice, stop them getting
:23:51. > :23:55.isolated, empowering old adtlts to make active decisions. Link`ge is
:23:56. > :24:00.just one organisation working in Bristol trying to make older age
:24:01. > :24:05.better. Along with 80 others in the city it's now bidding for ?6m of
:24:06. > :24:09.lottery money. The thing about the lottery bid is that older pdople are
:24:10. > :24:14.at the very heart of it. Thdy have to be involved and have to be doing
:24:15. > :24:17.things as opposed to being done to. If we get the money, I hope that
:24:18. > :24:21.what we'll find is obviouslx, we're going to have a lot more older
:24:22. > :24:24.people involved with a bettdr quality of life and being able to
:24:25. > :24:30.find that they're asset to the community. The hope is that in 035
:24:31. > :24:32.stereotypes of older people will be very different from what thdy are
:24:33. > :24:36.now. Vibrant, celebrated for who they
:24:37. > :24:46.are. Not condemned for what they cost.
:24:47. > :24:50.Thought`provoking, and therd will be much more tomorrow, as well.
:24:51. > :24:53.Villagers from Marshfield in South Gloucestershire were given ` glimpse
:24:54. > :24:56.of royalty this weekend when William, Kate, Harry and Be`trice
:24:57. > :24:59.turned up as wedding guests. They were at St Mary's Church to see
:25:00. > :25:03.their friends Lucy Meade and Charlie Budgett tie the knot. By thd time
:25:04. > :25:07.the ceremony was over more than 100 people had packed the streets to try
:25:08. > :25:11.and spot the young royals as word spread they were there.
:25:12. > :25:19.Then they look lovely? Another one we won't invited to! `` that we were
:25:20. > :25:29.not invited to! We are dodging a few showers at the
:25:30. > :25:34.moment, I have just been looking at the tops of some beefy thunderstorms
:25:35. > :25:38.over my shoulder. Tomorrow hs going to be driver the bulk of thd day but
:25:39. > :25:45.the issue through the morning will be Fog, as well as low cloud. Once
:25:46. > :25:50.we clear out of the way, yot will be brighter and warmer. Further showers
:25:51. > :25:54.return as we head into the dvening. For the time being, we have heavy
:25:55. > :26:00.and thundery showers about, drifting their way northwards over the course
:26:01. > :26:04.of the evening, leaving Sah`ran dust over vehicles, as this warm air drag
:26:05. > :26:12.up from north`west Africa and Iberia. Into tomorrow, the return of
:26:13. > :26:18.some showers into the evening. For the rest of this evening, if you
:26:19. > :26:22.have not seen a shower, you will. Some with lightning and heavy
:26:23. > :26:26.downpours. They will clear ` way towards the first part of the night
:26:27. > :26:36.and then some fog. To form, as well as areas of low cloud. `` fog starts
:26:37. > :26:40.to form. The rush`hour tomorrow will be under low visibility in places.
:26:41. > :26:46.It will probably take a good part of the morning for all of that to clear
:26:47. > :26:49.away with the low cloud. Improving through the afternoon, sunnx spells
:26:50. > :26:52.becoming more widespread so it will continue until we start to see some
:26:53. > :26:57.of the showers reappearing hnto the evening. Some could be heavx in
:26:58. > :27:04.places, much as we have seen today. Somewhat more scattered. Cabbages
:27:05. > :27:06.eventually up to 1517 degreds, pleasantly `` 15 ` 17 degreds,
:27:07. > :27:15.pleasantly warm. It was nice, having enough warmer
:27:16. > :27:22.winds, even if they have Saharan sands! Feel a 20. `` we will see you
:27:23. > :27:24.at 10pm.
