one of his daughter's friends. That's all from the BBC News at Six, | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
so it's Welcome to BBC Points West with | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
David Garmston and Alex Lovell. Our main story tonight: Hinkley in | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
the balance. Doubts emerge over whether the new | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
nuclear power station will ever be built, but the Prime Minister says | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
it will go ahead. And is absolutely right that | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
countries in Europe should be able to invest in nuclear energy as part | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
of a balanced plan to provide core energy and keep carbon emissions | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
down. We'll be looking at the obstacles that could prevent the | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
deal happening. Our other headlines tonight: Not | :00:34. | :00:45. | |
out! Cricketers campaign to keep a player | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
in Britain after he's refused asylum. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The jet planes that were made in Gloucestershire ` now at last | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
there's a museum for them. And hoping to hit even more highs ` | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
a record deal in prospect for the voice of Bristol. | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
Good evening. The Prime Minister says he's confident a new nuclear | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset will get built, amid | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
growing worries that the deal may collapse. There are concerns that | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
the European Union may decide that the financial guarantees offered by | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
the government breach the rules and the whole project could then be in | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
jeopardy. The plans for a new power station are already behind schedule | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
` we had been told that we would be cooking our Christmas dinner on its | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
energy in just three years' time, now it will be a decade at least. | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
Clinton Rogers reports. In corridors of power there are | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
plainly nerves about the future of Hinkley C. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Could we please have time to debate this? But that call by the local MP | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
has been seized upon by anti nuclear campaigners as proof that the | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
project is in their words looking more and more flaky. | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
It's clear that Mr Granger is panicking, and he should be, because | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
he has edged his political future to a project that in my opinion has no | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
future. Now, while it might be argued "he would say that, wouldn't | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
he?" it's been a difficult few months for Hinkley C, with the | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
European Union now investigating whether the deal between the | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
government and the French power company EDF amounts to illegal state | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
subsidy and a legal academic arguing it may be invalid. | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
Enter the Prime Minister no less to say fear not Hinkley C will be | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
built. Countries in Europe should be able | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
to invest in nuclear energy as part of a balanced plan to provide core | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
energy and to keep carbon emissions down. That is what we are doing. I'm | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
sure the commission will see that, and I am confident the deal will go | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
ahead. And you could argue, he would say | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
that, wouldn't he? The reality is that the European Union decision is | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
key to the entire future of Hinkley C. If they decide that the deal | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
between the government and EDF does amount to an illegal subsidy, there | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
are those who believe that at that point the EDF will walk away and the | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
entire project will collapse. Yet this week after a long pause the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
company restarted engineering work to prepare this huge site in | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
readiness for Hinkley C. An investment of several million pounds | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
` a pretty clear indication you might think their confident the EU | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
decision will go their way. Well, with us is our political | :03:41. | :03:55. | |
editor Paul Barltrop. Paul, the question is whether this project is | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
being unfairly subsidised ` but the government subsidises other things | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
doesn't it? Subsidy is permissible, although the | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
government don't like to call it that. Under European rules you can | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
have a subsidy where there is market failure, with things otherwise would | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
not be provided by the open market, but there should be competition | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
between suppliers. That easily done with something like a wind farm but | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
not so easy with a nuclear power station. Deal with EDF was done | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
behind closed doors and that will be scrutinised very carefully, and | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
there will probably not be a decision before the end of this | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
year. If they come out against it, David Cameron's energy policy is in | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
crisis. And on a lighter note, the Prime Minister caused a bit of | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
excitement in a Bristol restaurant last night. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
He was working locally, and popped into a local restaurant, and what | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
happens is people get their phones out and start taking pictures. Let's | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
have a look at some of them. Hazel was out with a group of friends and | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
got the PM to pose with them for this lovely snap Tom and then Becky | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Smith, a Bristol University student, but the PM to pose with her for this | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
rather wacky picture. Downing Street has said it was a bit of spontaneous | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
fun. Some other news now ` and tours at | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Wells Cathedral are still suspended while officials investigate how a | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
68`year`old woman was able to fall 20 feet from a tower last month. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
The woman ` who still hasn't been named ` was airlifted to hospital | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
with injuries to her hips, arms and legs. She'd been part of a group on | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
what's called the 'High Parts' tour. Mendip District Council today | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
confirmed it will be carrying out a full investigation. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
An 18`year`old man from Cheltenham has appeared in court charged with | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
the murder of his pregnant girlfriend. 16`year`old Kayleigh | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
Palmer was five months pregnant at the time of her death. Aston | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Robinson from Humber Road appeared via video link at Bristol Crown | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
Court. He did not enter a plea. He's due to face trial in September. | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
The former snooker player Stephen Lee has been charged with fraud. The | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
news comes as the 39`year`old was due to launch the second part of an | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
appeal against a 12 year ban for match fixing. Stephen Lee, who dies | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
committing any offence, lost the first stage of his appeal in | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
February. A cricket club in Bristol is | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
campaigning to stop one of its players being deported to Pakistan. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Ahad Rizvi played for the Easton Cowboys after moving to the UK with | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
his family last year. They say they'll face religious persecution | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
if they go back, but the Home Office has refused permission for them to | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
stay. Will Glennon reports. Ahad Rizvi is a 19`year`old student | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
from Pakistan. For the past year, he and his brothers have played cricket | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
with the Easton Cowboys. They've become valued members of the team | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
and the community. Since the end of March, though, Ahad has been here ` | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
the Colnbrook Detention Centre in Middlesex. The Home Office has told | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
him he must go back to Pakistan. Ahad's sister Anum is in Yarl's Wood | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Detention Centre for Women, also being deported. | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
I don't want them to leave this country. I hope that the Home Office | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
will give them leave to remain and stay in the UK. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
They have got no family back in Pakistan and they can't go back to | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
the neighbourhood with a brought up because they will be in extreme | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
danger. Difficult back it will be living on the streets in Pakistan | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
with nobody, and the other community here it is happy to welcome them as | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
part of the community. It's left their father Syed devastated. He | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
wants them to stay in Bristol, as a family, all seeking asylum together. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
He says as minority Shia Muslims in Karachi they've been persecuted, | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
attacked and threatened. When I came here, I wanted to leave | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
the place for safety. They said, we don't want you to be here. So many | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
people of my family have been killed. They have been killed. They | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
are now more in this world. The Home Office said it won't comment on | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
individual cases but official documents shown to me indicate that | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
both Ahad and his sister have exhausted their appeals. It has not | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
been accepted that they'll be unsafe in Pakistan and they are due to be | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
sent home, forcibly if necessary. The cricket club is helping the | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Rizvis launch one more appeal with a new legal team. They're hoping to | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
get their star player back, but for now at least Ahad's time in Easton | :08:47. | :09:01. | |
may be over. It's Friday and we are live here on | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
BBC One. We will have the weekend weather shortly. And if you haven't | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
decided what's for tea tonight ` how about dandelion, nettle or cow | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
parsley? The food that's free ` but how does it taste? | :09:15. | :09:28. | |
They were some of Gloucestershire's most historic aircraft, but some of | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
the creations were left to the elements unseen and unprotected. | :09:35. | :09:47. | |
But now they have a new home. Once upon a time, Gloucestershire | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
ruled the skies. These jet planes helped build the area's aviation | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Heritage. But for almost 30 years, the fight has been on to give these | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
military marvels at home. From today, this is it. No longer | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
battered and bruised by the elements, these planes are here to | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
help inspire the next generation of pilots and engineers. Talking of | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
which, the red carpet was laid ready for a legend of the skies. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
The guest of honour has just arrived, the last man to fly the | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
real version of one of these, one of the most decorated British pilots | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
around, Captain Eric Brown who is here unveiled a plaque, now aged | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
95. I just wish some of those wonderful | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
days could happen again, not war, but we had wonderful spirit none | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
better than here in the Gloucester factory which was set up in World | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
War I and prospered through World War II. I shall never forget the | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
wonderful people. What a heritage we have. Don't lose it. You have set it | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
up Tom and I hope it stays forever. Thank you. | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
From the past to the future. You could feel the life coming back into | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
this place and into these aeroplanes. Even the wine was jet | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
fuel. The museum is open, everything is | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
ready to go. Let's make our own piece of aviation history. Where | :11:33. | :11:48. | |
shall we go? Police in Bristol are investigating | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
a series of arson attacks after cars were set alight in the street over | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
the bank holiday weekend. Several vehicles were set on fire in | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Henbury and Southmead in the early hours of Sunday morning. Police are | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
asking anyone with information or who saw anything that night to get | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
in touch we are appealing for members of the local community to | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
examine their own consciences. If they know something about these | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
offences it is vitally important they reported to us. | :12:17. | :12:30. | |
The biggest food festival ever held in Bristol comes to a close this | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
weekend. There have been events held right | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
across the city. Sally Challoner joins us from the festival site now. | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
IMac Queen Square and I'm surrounded by a village of pop`up restaurants | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
and tents. There are still days of events for people to catch up with. | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Street food, food trails and celebrity chefs. One event got my | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
eye that is on tomorrow. It is foraging, and I had a goal earlier | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
this morning. Not since the Second World War have | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
so many people taken to foraging for food. It is free on the good for | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
you, and fun. And you can eat these? | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
You can eat every part of the dandelion. Belief, even the flower | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
head. It is quite bitter, so it might be something that you need to | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
get used to. Mrs Trudy, she is leading a foraging | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
walk tomorrow as part of the Bristol food connections Festival. | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
Mrs cow parsley. It is edible, but is in the same family as hemlock. If | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
you're not absolutely certain it is cow parsley, don't eat it. The walk | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
is organised by the Knowle West Media Centre, who want to encourage | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
people into this area of countryside, in the heart of the | :13:57. | :13:57. | |
city. It's really versatile, you can even | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
make a porridge out of it. Samuel Pepys but in his diary that he ate | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
Nettle porridge. We wanted to show that all this food is wild and | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
local, you can go and find it so you don't have to pay for it, but think | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
about the health benefits, as well. We will have a panel discussion | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
about legality, what you can eat and what you can eat. | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
I also made blackberry whisky. Today BBC Gardener's Question Time was in | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
town, and I had a question for them. First of all, what should I not | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
porridge ? I would be careful of some of the | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
fun guy and toadstools, because although there are some wonderful | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
things out there, there are some things that can look like something | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
good but could give you a gastric upset or something worse. Seek | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
advice or only go for things you are 100 present sure about. | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
I look for dead meat along the roads, and it might sound | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
disgusting, but a nice plump rabbit is marvellous, and if I can't eat | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
it, the CAT scan. The programme they were recording | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
will go out next Friday and Sunday on Radio 4. And here is what I | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
foraged earlier. Nettles and dandelions. David, I picked this for | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
you it is cow parsley. But as Trudy said earlier, it is very similar to | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
hemlock, so I will bring it back and see what you think. | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
I think I might stick to a cheese omelette. | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
We have been doing a few turns down at the food festival and we appear | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
again on Saturday and Sunday. Bath rugby have a huge game ahead of | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
them this weekend. They go head to head with | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
Harlequins, and whoever wins will get the last place in the | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Premiership playoff. Bath are having their best season for years ` they | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
haven't been out of the top four. They beat Quins at home earlier in | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
the season and they're feeling pretty confident. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
We gave Northampton a pretty tough test this weekend. We are proud of | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
what we have done, and we want to really put it to Quins. If we play | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
the game we have showed in the last few weeks I think we will do a good | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
job. And Bristol Rugby are already | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
through to their play offs ` their fight for promotion starts this | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
weekend against Rotherham. They've been trying to get back into | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
top flight rugby ever since they were relegated back in 2009. And | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
they're hoping with a new coaching team at the top ` this will be their | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
year ` as Damian Derrick reports. Two very different men with | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
different backgrounds, but one goal ` to get Bristol back into the | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
Premiership. Andy Robinson ` World Cup winner and former England and | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
Scotland head coach. Sean Holley ` four times a league winner with | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
Welsh side Ospreys. I've not been involved in a play`off | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
situation before. We have achieved our first objective which was to get | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
to the play`offs, and now it is vital that we perform. | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
Like Andy, I want to be involved in big games and cope with the pressure | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
and take these boys to a different level. But Bristol have been here | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
before. The final score, if you are a | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Bristol supporter, you don't want to hear it. A mad 20 minutes against | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
Cornish Pirates two years ago cost them a place in the play`off final. | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
But now they have another chance and there's a good feeling this time, | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
even though the tension will be there come kick off. | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
What a surprise me is how can he is during games. Really amazing. | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
I need a heart rate monitor at times. | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
I've known him for a long time at Edinburgh and Scotland, and he is a | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
real enthusiast and brings out the best in players. Sean brings a | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
complete different aspects. He is a very good communicator, very clear | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
on what he wants. Contrasting personalities, but | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
mutual respect. I love the clarity of message that | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
John has and how he puts that across the. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
I love the integrity and humility of how he goes about his business... He | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
is a real rugby man, and let's hope that comes across to the squad. | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Let's hope they're still smiling after tomorrow's match. | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
Now you might remember this face ` or more likely this voice. It's | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Christina`Marie, from Bristol, who made it to the final of the BBC | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
talent show The Voice. Since then she's been toing and froing from | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
Bristol to London, seeing record producers, writing music, and hoping | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
every minute to hear the news she's longing for ` that a record company | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
wants to sign her. So what's the latest? I caught up with her. | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
I have not been signed as yet. Lots of discussions and meetings still | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
being held. It is looking promising. There is lots of | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
interest, but there is a 45 day waiting period, so I have to wait | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
and see what happens. You have been on parole and since | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
the end of the show, haven't you? Yes, it has been crazy having to | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
come back from London to Bristol and I just, and in between I have been | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
recording and writing and try to keep the energy as much as | :19:56. | :20:15. | |
possible. SHE SINGS. | :20:16. | :20:26. | |
My own personal stuff would be a little different to what I have done | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
on the show. Who I am as a musician is not necessarily a diva in a big | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
dress. I am more live sounding with drums, big and beautiful. Date if | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
the real drums with some synthesisers and a live sounding | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
vibe. I want to bring that out. What is like coming back to Bristol | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
and seeing friends and family again after TV stardom? | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
It's been great. It is a bit strange at first, but it is great to see | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
friends and family and spend some real`time without cameras they and | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
have some privacy. When I came back from the show I went into hiding for | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
a couple of days and didn't really see anyone other than the people | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
closest to me which was nice. It's been nice to have a breeder, that's | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
what is nice but coming home. SHE SINGS. | :21:20. | :21:34. | |
What is the dream for the future? Just to carry on doing what I love | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
and to be able to survive I doing that and not have to go back to what | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
I was doing before for work. This is my dream, and it would be great to | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
be signed and without the music I love as a recording artist. That is | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
Michael. We're right behind you. Thanks for | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
entertaining us and allowing us to find out the latest. | :21:54. | :22:03. | |
Thank you. And Christina`Marie performed some | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
songs especially for us. You can see all of those exclusive | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
tracks on our facebook page: facebook.com/pointswest. | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
And that was filmed in the BBC garden ` looking lovely too ` and if | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
you want to help make it even nicer ` then now is your chance. Back in | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
August a team of volunteers built the BBC Bristol Garden, but two of | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
the planters were never finished, so now, if you're under 16, we'd like | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
you to design them. Our garden design competition is open to all | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
schools in the west for teams of up to five people. Two planters need | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
designing ` one is for under 11s, the other for under 16s. We'll have | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
details of how your school can enter in a moment, but first, Jules Hyam | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
teamed up with Rebecca Bevan from the BBC's gardening programmes to | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
give you some tips. One of the first things to think | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
about when you are designing is, where is the sum? Unfortunately, in | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
the case of this bed, the Sun spends most of its time behind the shed, so | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
you need to think about plants that are suitable for the shade. There | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
are lots of them, including useful herbs like mint and chives. | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
We won't give you a lot of sun to play with, but we also want give you | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
a lot of soil. We really need to keep the weight down, so we won't be | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
planting the entire plant and soil, we will only be giving you about | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
that much. You have really got to think about what goes in their. | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
There is no point putting in big trees and bushes, but think about | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
smaller plants or plant whose roots will spread sideways. | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
These beds are some of the first you will see when you come out of these | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
doors, so they need to create a good impact. You can do that with flowers | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
like these, but you can also do it with leaves. Think about the | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
texture, the colour and the shape. And have loads of fun designing good | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
contrasts. This area is not about contrasts, it | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
is about wildlife. That tree is there for a reason, and the reason | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
is it gives the garden visibility. It means birds and insects can see | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
that it is here. So in terms of these beds, think about what else | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
will work for wildlife. Maybe think about things that will attract | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
insects or some kind of water feature. | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
Quite a challenge! I have designed a few beds and borders in my time, and | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
the thing to do is really look into your plants. Do some research and | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
make sure you have left enough space for everything. Good luck, and we | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
looking forward to seeing your results. | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
Well, Beccy really is looking forward to seeing your designs | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
because she is one of the judges, alongside the head gardener at | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
Stourhead, the Natural History Unit's One Show series producer, and | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
me! Perhaps we could have a swimming | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
pool. We've put plans, photos and all the details you need in an entry | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
pack, and you can get one by emailing [email protected]. | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
There's also details of how to enter, as well as all the terms and | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
conditions, on our web page: bbc.co.uk/pointswest. Really hope | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
you'll get involved! Now the weather: the cloud has been | :25:22. | :25:30. | |
streaming steadily over the last 40 minutes, and that is a taste of the | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
weekend. Low`pressure dominating the patent. | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
It will be very windy through Saturday and Sunday. Some heavy rain | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
later tonight. That will give way to bright spells and showers. | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
Differences in parts of the region on how many showers you will catch, | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
but it will be unsettled. That is the low`pressure bringing rain | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
towards us later tonight. Some of that will turn heavy, it will clear | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
before daybreak. Thereafter the showers packed in across many | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
districts. And so it will continue into Sunday. There are signs that | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
the showers will fade on Sunday afternoon and evening. Dry | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
conditions at the moment. Cloud is thickening as we speak ahead of the | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
band of rain. Around midnight will be in most of the region. It will be | :26:27. | :26:35. | |
breezy during the night. Some hill fog, temperatures will be mild, nine | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
up to 11 Celsius. Tomorrow that band of rain clears to the east and | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
things will brighten, but more showers will follow. Differences of | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
wind direction and topography will determine which areas seem more or | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
less showers, but most of us will see some showers at some point. | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
Winds will strengthen into the afternoon and evening. A yellow | :27:00. | :27:07. | |
warning in western parts. Strong gusts, perhaps up to 40 or 50 mph. | :27:08. | :27:19. | |
Not a day to have your gazebo up! Are very similar pattern into | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
Sunday. The showers will fade. If you can delay things, next weekend. | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
High`pressure could dominate them and it will be a different story. | :27:30. | :27:37. | |
We are down at the food connections Festival in Bristol this weekend, | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
maybe we can see you there. Otherwise the late news returns | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
after ten and we will see you on Monday. | :27:48. | :27:48. |
