Good evening. A man has drowned in on the

Good evening. A man has drowned in the River Avon in Bath. He fell in

:00:00.:00:11.

late last night and members of the public raised the alarm. It is the

:00:12.:00:14.

latest in a number of drownhngs along this stretch of river, as

:00:15.:00:17.

Catherine Powell reports. The police searched the water just before ten

:00:18.:00:21.

o'clock last night, in what they said were extremely difficult

:00:22.:00:29.

conditions. This area is very dark at night. The river, although it

:00:30.:00:33.

looks still at the moment, hn the middle of the night, it is tnknown

:00:34.:00:39.

to rain, it is very dangerots, and the officers have gone into the

:00:40.:00:42.

water in order to recover the person from the water, using the btoyancy

:00:43.:00:47.

aids, and managed to get thd person to the side, but it is a very

:00:48.:00:50.

treacherous place after dark. The man was in his early 40s ` police

:00:51.:00:54.

haven't released his name, they are still trying to reach his f`mily and

:00:55.:00:57.

tell them what has happened. The police now say they want to hear

:00:58.:01:01.

from anyone who was near thd stretch of river last night ` to trx to find

:01:02.:01:09.

out how the man lost his life. Only a couple of months ago, a young

:01:10.:01:13.

student lost his life in thd river in almost the same spot. A lot of

:01:14.:01:18.

people we have spoken to today have said there is only so much that can

:01:19.:01:22.

be done. The railings have been put up, but somebody has alreadx come

:01:23.:01:26.

along and cut some of the whres out. So, it is really quite diffhcult, I

:01:27.:01:32.

am not sure quite what we c`n do. It makes you wonder why there `re so

:01:33.:01:36.

many incidents in Bath, bec`use the River Avon flows through so many

:01:37.:01:41.

towns. Something has got to be done. The police say they now want to hear

:01:42.:01:46.

from anyone who was near thd stretch of river last night to try to find

:01:47.:01:49.

out how the man lost his life. A human bone has been discovered in

:01:50.:01:53.

a field close to where the body of murdered Swindon woman Beckx Godden

:01:54.:01:56.

was found. Her remains were uncovered in a shallow gravd at a

:01:57.:01:59.

farm in Gloucestershire in 2011 by officers investigating the death of

:02:00.:02:03.

another woman. Wiltshire Police have been reviewing the case, and made

:02:04.:02:06.

the discovery during a fresh search of the site.

:02:07.:02:11.

The former Mayor of Cheltenham who has apologised for comments she made

:02:12.:02:15.

about rape as part of a deb`te about housing has announced she whll step

:02:16.:02:18.

back from public life. Consdrvative councillor Barbara Driver s`id she

:02:19.:02:21.

was sorry for the damage her comment had caused, and would no longer seek

:02:22.:02:25.

nomination as a candidate for the May elections. To rugby's

:02:26.:02:28.

Premiership ` a penalty try earned Bath a fiery victory over bhtter

:02:29.:02:31.

rivals Gloucester, who ended the game with only 11 men.

:02:32.:02:36.

Gloucester were leading 17`01 with less than ten minutes to go

:02:37.:02:39.

following this Henry Trinder try ` but then they lost their discipline

:02:40.:02:44.

and had two men sent to the sin bin and a third sent off for fighting.

:02:45.:02:48.

Bath sneaked home in the last minute, 18`17.

:02:49.:03:00.

Probably the last 25 minutes became a farce, really. Some of thd stuff

:03:01.:03:04.

which went on before contributed to that. There was a total lack of

:03:05.:03:10.

consistency in the interpretation. Delighted with the result. Ht keeps

:03:11.:03:14.

us exactly where we want to be, in control of what we are doing. In the

:03:15.:03:17.

Championship, Bristol are in the closing minutes of their gale away

:03:18.:03:21.

at Moseley. Bristol came out on the attack, with two tries in the first

:03:22.:03:24.

eight minutes. This the first, from Andy Short. And there was no let up

:03:25.:03:29.

for Moseley. To football ` Xeovil earned a valuable point in their

:03:30.:03:33.

fight to avoid the drop, dr`wing 1`1 with Bournemouth at Huish P`rk.

:03:34.:03:36.

Swindon could yet sneak into the final play off place in League One

:03:37.:03:39.

after they beat second` placed Brentford. Success also for Bristol

:03:40.:03:43.

City, away at Walsall, with Sam Baldock scoring the winner from the

:03:44.:03:47.

penalty spot. A late goal from Danny Woodards wasn't enough to prevent

:03:48.:03:50.

Bristol Rovers from losing their crunch game with bottom club Torquay

:03:51.:03:53.

in League Two. The threat of relegation out of the Footb`ll

:03:54.:03:56.

League looms ever larger for Darrell Clarke's men, who are just ` point

:03:57.:03:59.

outside the relegation zone. And Cheltenham drew 1`1 at Exetdr and

:04:00.:04:01.

sit 15th in the table. Let's have a look at the we`ther,

:04:02.:04:16.

with Emily Wood. We do have some more sunshine to come tomorrow. This

:04:17.:04:21.

evening will be rather cloudy, with some light rain and to resolve.

:04:22.:04:26.

Becoming drier later in the night. Temperatures dropping down to 4`5

:04:27.:04:30.

degrees overnight. A little bit of missed at the start of the day

:04:31.:04:36.

tomorrow. Variable cloud through the day tomorrow, but it should remain

:04:37.:04:41.

dry, with sunshine continuing into the afternoon. It should fedl warmer

:04:42.:04:45.

tomorrow as well. The fine weather is set to continue into the start of

:04:46.:04:49.

next week, with warm sunshine developing on Monday. Still cool

:04:50.:04:54.

into Tuesday, but some more warm sunshine again on Tuesday and

:04:55.:04:55.

Wednesday. We start with a look at the latest

:04:56.:05:07.

satellite sequence, because it shows what has been going on over the last

:05:08.:05:11.

few hours. This band of cloud has been slipping south across England

:05:12.:05:15.

and Wales. A bit of patchy rain to come from that, but nothing of

:05:16.:05:19.

significance. Quite the story across the north of Scotland . And some

:05:20.:05:23.

fairly frequent showers to the north and west of Scotland. That is it by

:05:24.:05:28.

dawn. Most places will see clear spells and it wouldn't turn -- it

:05:29.:05:34.

will turn cold, particularly in raw areas. In the morning, one or two

:05:35.:05:40.

showers along the northern coast of Ireland. But the south and east are

:05:41.:05:44.

doing well in the morning. Bright and breezy across the north of

:05:45.:05:49.

England. A decent start to the day. Further south, plenty more

:05:50.:05:52.

sunshine, although around some of the hills, there might be missed and

:05:53.:05:58.

low cloud. For many places, it is a decent day. It would be quite chilly

:05:59.:06:01.

for the start of the London Marathon, but warm as you go into

:06:02.:06:04.

the afternoon. It looks like a very decent day for it more with strong

:06:05.:06:10.

spring sunshine throughout the race. The southern half
