The headlines: Everybody out, thousands of public sector workers | :00:00. | :00:55. | |
prepare for tomorrow's day of action. The cyclist who fell into | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
the Bristol docks. White officials decided not to put up safety | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
railings. And going where humans fear to tread, the West Country | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
drawn inside a Japanese nuclear disaster zone. Good evening. A lorry | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
has burst into flames on one of Bristol's busiest roads just as the | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
city was gearing up for rush`hour. Eyewitnesses say they heard three | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
big explosions. There are no reports of any casualties. Andrew Plant is | :01:29. | :01:42. | |
at the scene. Some of the recovery trucks, they have got a bigger | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
scripting stuff off the road. You can see what a massive job they have | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
got ahead of them. The lorry has melted itself into this road. It is | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
one of the busiest arteries in and out of the city. At this time of the | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
issued be completely busy but the police have spent the last few hours | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
clearing cars often either way of what you can see is that some of the | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
roads either side are still blocked with cards. Problems for people | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
getting in and getting home from Bristol. The driver spoke to us | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
earlier, he said he had seen the fire in his rear`view mirror. He | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
tried to tackle it with a fire extinguisher but realised it was too | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
big and too quick. His car go probably added to the problem | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
because he was carrying candles and wood covered in resin. That was | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
highly flammable. Luckily, he was not harmed. I looked in my mirror | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
and I saw smoke. I thought I would get out the cab and try my best, but | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
it just went up in flames. A lot of flammable goods on it. I had to get | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
those feet away. We just heard a lot of noise and calm ocean. You could | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
see lots of black smoke in the sky. It is a lorry fire. It is the | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
traffic jam what is bad. I am bored and tired and hungry. What the | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
really need is a recovery truck and that is stuck in traffic. They said | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
a police escort out to get it here more quickly. After this lorry has | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
gone they will have to stress test the bridge because they need to know | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
if there has been any permanent if there has been any permanent | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
damage to the surface. Thank you very much. There will be | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
traffic updates on BBC Radio Bristol as well. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Parents are being warned that many schools in the West will be | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
The National Union of Teachers is staging a one`day | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
They're being joined by five other public sector unions, | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
Here's our political editor Paul Barltro. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Barton Hill Primary in Bristol will be closed, causing childcare | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
I'm a single mum. It will be hard for me. It is bang out of order. It | :03:54. | :04:12. | |
is inconvenient for people who are working. The National Union of | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
Teachers and firefighters are in a dispute over pensions. He is an | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
issue. For the PCS, GMB, Unison and the Unite union it is the issue. It | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
was frozen for two years, since then it has gone up a less than | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
inflation. That has hit this family from Bristol hard. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
Ian has worked for the Ministry of Defence for 25 years. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Trudy works at South Gloucestershire Council. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
With two sons to bring up, their pay has in real terms been | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
The morale is low, lower now than the 25 years I have been in the | :04:45. | :04:56. | |
Ministry of Defence. The amount of job losses we have had. There is no | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
stability. We don't know whether the Wii will have a job next year. I | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
just had to try to apply for my own job. Luckily I got it. They have | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
both experienced the cuts that have seen the loss of 400,000 public | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
sector jobs. I am currently under threat of redundancy. The | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
uncertainty that I have had over the uncertainty that I have had over the | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
last few years as long as thousands `` along with thousands of my | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
colleagues, it preys on your nerves. Chooses the most attic dispute. This | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
zombie protest was to highlight what they say are excessive demands. The | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
average teacher is working over 48 hours per week which is unsafe, | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
unhealthy. So what we want to do is make sure that Michael Gove can talk | :05:48. | :06:03. | |
to teachers and listened to us. It is going to disrupt their children's | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
education. The strike ballot took place in 2012. It is based on a 27% | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
turnout. How can it possibly be right for a rude education disrupted | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
by trade unions acting in that way? It is time to legislate and it will | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
be in the Conservative manifesto. The government insist pay must be | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
held back to help the country get out of debt. That will not go down | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
well with unions, who will repeat the marches they held three years | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
ago. They are warning of more strikes to come. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
So are public service workers losing out from the recovery? | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
I am joined now by Kevin Butler who is an economist who used to work | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Mr Butler ` there doesn't seem to be much of a feel good factor | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
We have had an economic recovery now for about a year and a present `` a | :06:52. | :07:06. | |
pretty decent recovery. That is tied up with recovery in the housing | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
market. Unfortunately, wage growth and salary growth in the private and | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
public sectors, including those affect it by tomorrow's working | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
straight, has been held back. Inflation has been running faster | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
than those increases in income and that means that people incomes | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
continue to be squeezed. How long will the austerity have to go on | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
for? The government expect that they have a strategy to rebalance the | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
public finances, to try to and expenditure in balance. Originally | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
there plan was to try and achieve this by 2015. They are not going to | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
do that. The expectation now is that they will not achieve that until | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
2018. It appears that we will be in a period of austerity for some time | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
longer. The public services industry will seal, we did not cost this, | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
this was down to the bankers, why should we pay for it? I have | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
sympathy for their point of view. I am married to a teacher. But I also | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
recognise that the government have a job to do in getting the economy are | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
gone to a sustainable footing. I feel I have got a foot in both | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
camps. Briefly, are public sector workers doing better or worse than | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
their colleagues in the private sector? In the private sector also, | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
although we are seeing new jobs being created as the economy starts | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
to recover and recover in a decent manner, actually private sector | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
workers are facing a squeeze on incomes and salaries as well. So it | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
is actually most of the workforce are seeing very little increase in | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
at the moment. Thank you very much for joining us. | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
We are pleased that you can join us. We will have a full weather forecast | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
later. There is much more to come on the programme tonight, opening the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Royal Christmas presents meant for World War I troops in the trenches. | :09:10. | :09:22. | |
The BBC's learnt that Bristol's tourism board objected to safety | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
railings being put along a stretch | :09:27. | :09:27. | |
40`year`old Sean Philips fell into the docks after losing control | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
of his bicycle on sunken railtracks near the M`Shed last year. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
The tourism board ` and other groups ` thought the | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
Scott Ellis joins us now from the harbourside. | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
First things first, barriers ` but temporary. | :09:41. | :09:52. | |
This is because of the summer festivities. Let's have a look at | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
the problem down here at ground level. It is these sunken levels. | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
This is a historic working corner of the harbour`side. Following the | :10:06. | :10:15. | |
inquest into Sean Phillips, the BBC has teamed it ten years of | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
documents, e`mails, safety reviews, finding out who is in favour and | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
against permanent railings down here. A remainder of the risks are | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
long Bristol's waterfront, Sean Phillips' death last year in UN | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
calls for permanent safety barriers here. The BBC has discovered | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
destination Bristol thought railings would seriously undermine the | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
heritage value of the site. Managers at the council owned M`Shed said | :10:41. | :10:50. | |
they were reluctant to see railings weeks before the death. There is a | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
question of these large numbers of people who we have encouraged down | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
here with this development when you have to balance the heritage | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
argument against the risk of a child dying. There is still an arguing | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
here for barriers. Especially where the entrance' are. The objections | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
from various groups came after an independent safety review in 2012. | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
And a subsequent ROSPA report said railings were NOT needed. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
So long as cyclists were diverted away from the area. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
The signs ` missed by Sean Philips ` have been made much clearer. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Crowds going to and from the M Shed remain an issue for some, though. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
I think it would be good, permanently, because you never know | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
when a child will go near the end, they are very fast`moving. I don't | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
think they should. It spoils from the atmosphere of what it is which | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
is where the harbour is were the boots need to dock. The argument | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
against railings is that it is still a working dog and permanent barriers | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
could endanger the lives of those working on the books and cranes. `` | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
on the boats. That speaks to the counsellor. You are seeing all of | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
your members would object to permanent barriers. Last thing we | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
organised a meeting to discuss this, the people that came, the members | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
were unanimously opposed to permanent railings. You are willing | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
to put athletics before people's lives? It is much more complex than | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
that. This is a working harbour, a working railway. These creams do | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
things for the people working here, holding another boarding and | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
welding, permanent railings are a major hindrance. It makes their jobs | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
more dangerous. 's temporary railings are fixed into place. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
Surely you do need railings. These are here during the summer because | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
we have a lot of events like the Humberside festival where it is | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
necessary to block off the harbour got up the volume of people but also | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
because the council is not quite finished putting in the measures to | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
prevent cyclists coming in here and getting into trouble. So you do not | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
think there will be permanent railings here ever? Never say never. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
But there are no plans at the moment. It was not recommended that | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
permanent railings were needed. You are not worried about being sued? | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
The councillors was worried about being sued. The risks have been | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
assessed. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said that | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
the risks were manageable and if the council puts in an age as it is | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
going to, they think it is thank you. Whatever the health and safety | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
implications, certainly a beautiful place to spend a summer evening, | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
perhaps on two feet instead of two wheels. | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
A teenager who went on a schools' expedition to the Arctic Circle | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
One after another, the young people friend was killed by a polar bear. | :13:53. | :14:10. | |
One after another, the young people who were on that expedition to the | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Arctic with Horatio Chapple three years ago described what happened on | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
the night that Wiltshire teenager was killed. First was Patrick | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
Flinders from Jersey who still has the scratch marks on his face where | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
he was clawed by deed poll or bare when it ripped its way into their | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
tent that night. He said he was terrified, he closed his eyes | :14:33. | :15:55. | |
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan killed more than 16,000 people. | :15:56. | :16:05. | |
And on the northeastern coast, the loss of power to the cooling | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
systems at Fukushima power station created one of the biggest nuclear | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
More than 500,000 people were moved from their homes. | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
Surrounding areas are now ghost towns. | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
It's such a shame that you have all of this | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
beautiful countryside poisoned by this radioactive fallout. | :16:25. | :16:38. | |
Realising this was an international disaster, a team of scientists | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
from Bristol began designing a piece of technology to help. | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
And now their drone is being used to work out if it's safe enough | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
We are looking to measure the distribution of the radiation to | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
understand where the hotspots are so that they can be removed first | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
before the rest of the land is cleaned. | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
They're also working with Professor Yamashiki from | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
Kyoto University who plans to use the drones to help measure the | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
where it wouldn't be safe to send a human. | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
This system is extremely helpful to catching a profile of the whole | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
Armed with the latest data collected in the exclusion zone, | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
the team heads to Tokyo to convince the company that runs Fukashima to | :17:25. | :17:36. | |
They want evidence first it can be safely flown around the tanks that | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
the team is back in the UK running test flights around sewage tanks | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
already successfully mapped parts of the Sellafield nuclear site | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
The company in charge of the decommissioning is now | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
But what this team is really waiting for | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
is permission to fly these drones over Fukushima, | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
He retains. It gives you an idea of the scale and here is Doctor Scott. | :18:07. | :18:21. | |
This is, this has received an enormous attention internationally. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Has it surprised you? Yes. It was two years ago we had the idea of | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
developing this system. With no proof of concept or principle so it | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
has been a quick timeline to take it from an idea through to a product | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
now that we can spin out as a company for the university and use | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
all over the world. Who was it in the university that was thinking | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
about this? My department in the School of physics is | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
multidisciplinary. We brought together a team of engineers and | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
physicists and geographers and even geoscientists. It was a diverse | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
group we brought together and everyone else brought a different | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
skill that we could all focus on to complete the project quickly. Why | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
does it have to be this particular design? Why could you not fly a | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
model helicopter over it? The design for this is specifically to fly on | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
nuclear sites. If you flew a helicopter or aircraft over a | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
nuclear site, if it crashed onto a building, it could cause a lot of | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
problems for the building structurally. The design for this is | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
such that it is a certain weight, and 70 Legrand 's which is a weight | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
that would not damage a building if it fell on it. We have eight engines | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
and four legs because if we lose one engine, we still have one spare. | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
Through testing we know we can turn off half of the engine that it will | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
still be in the ear fine. It is that deliberately designed redundancy | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
that is required for flying. There are so many more things we want to | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
know. But we don't have enough time. I want to have a play with it. | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
Five brass boxes which were meant as Christmas presents | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
for soldiers serving in the First World War have gone under the | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
They were sent by the Royal Family to troops in the trenches | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
Our reporter Sukhy Batchada watched as one of the boxes was opened. | :20:20. | :20:29. | |
Lost for 100 years. The gifts that have never made it to the front | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
line. It is great you are all sharing this. I would see it is | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
probably pretty unique this. Lady any `` Lady Emma Kitchener invited | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
to open the 100`year`old parcel under the watchful eye of her | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
ancestor. I think for many of the soldiers it was the very first time | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
they had ever been away from home at Christmas which is scary and then to | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
be in the trenches, it must have been unimaginable. I think to | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
receive something like that was a real big thing for them. Boxes from | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
the time contained boiled sweets and tobacco but in these boxes, you just | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
get a pencil. The most important tool for keeping in touch with loved | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
ones. The maximum most of the tins that survived, a pencil is missing. | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
The pencil is very rare. It has a The pencil is very rare. It has a | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
sterling silver top. I think it is marvellous. Obviously it would have | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
been great if there had been chocolates or more sweets or | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
cigarettes but no, delighted that the pencil is there. And it is | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
delighting collectors. For the guide price of ?300, a number have already | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
been sold. Children from Bath are | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
among those who've been invited to write what they imagine | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
the unknown soldier at Paddington railway station might be reading | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
in his letter sent from home. Everyday thousands of people, many | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
of them catching trains to and from And Bath Spa University are | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
behind a new project to help create a permanent memorial to | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
the unnamed fighter. Here's what these youngsters | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
from Weston All Saints Primary think Dearest father, my fear is not the | :22:20. | :22:35. | |
same without you but we manage. How are you out there? Is everything OK? | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
I think she caught a cold when we were a skating. The doctors say she | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
will return to normal health in one week. So that is all right. You know | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
that cheeky boy I told you about? He got the keen place today. He gave | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
teachers such cheat. Mother is proud of you although she wishes you did | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
not go. She tries to hide it but sometimes I hear her crying at | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
night. I have told all my friends that when you come back I shall like | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
lots of candles around the house. Very good writers, aren't they? | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
People are still submitting their ideas of letters, even well known | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
people like Stephen Fry. Now, what kind | :23:16. | :23:16. | |
of things do you throw away? Well a recycling centre in | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
West Somerset had to be sealed off today after a member of the | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
public brought in a mortar shell. An Army bomb disposal team was | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
called But then when someone brings | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
in a mortar shell for recycling So around midday the site | :23:28. | :23:41. | |
at Williton in West Somerset was closed to the | :23:42. | :23:58. | |
public. And about three hours later They took one look at the shell ` | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
and decided it was safe enough to load into the back of their van | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
and take it away ` so What isn't clear is who | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
the person was who brought in the shell or why they would want | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
to bring a mortar about this size to But the people who run these places | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
say while they'll take most things That was a bit of a surprise. Let's | :24:20. | :24:39. | |
get the weather forecast. Ian is up on the roof. We had some dramatic | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
weather last eight. We certainly did. The number of | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
people tweeting pictures of storm cells moving down through south | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
Gloucestershire with some pretty dramatic clouds attached to those. | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
No threat of that as we head through this evening or indeed as we head | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
into tomorrow as well. Effectively we will be in this grease between | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
two weather systems, one from the east, one from the West but the net | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
result at least will be effectively a finance increasingly warm day | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
across the West Country, albeit with more clouds starting to appear as we | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
get through the course of the afternoon. The reason we have this | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
grease is a warm front out towards the east of us and secondly a rather | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
weak front coming the other way from the Atlantic. You will see that | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
running up through the West Country into the West Midlands is a sort of | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
spine of clear whether, in our rowing slot that will keep us into | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
this dry, warm set of conditions through the course of tomorrow but | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
the warm front to the East make some inroads towards us on Friday. | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
Through the course of this evening it is a fine if breezy evening, | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
pleasantly warm, it will continue tonight with no significant change | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
in the broad setup. A quiet night under a largely clear skies and | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
temperatures will be sitting somewhere between about ten to 13 | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow should start with clear skies for a good number of you | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
as we ran through the day, yes, more cloud out to the extreme west of | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
Somerset including those of you who watch us from Lynemouth but even | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
here a fairly bright picture and conversely out towards the east you | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
will notice the signal for clouds getting as far as Reading with some | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
patchy rain out in those districts. We don't expect that to impinge on | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
East Gloucestershire and it's torture. You will have more cloud | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
here. All of us is seeing more cloud later on through the course of the | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
afternoon. A high pollen count tomorrow and high UV levels. | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Temperatures on the rise. 12 spots could see 24 or 25 Celsius into late | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
afternoon tomorrow. As we get past that, we will find through the day | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
increasing amount of clouds, in the morning some showery outbreaks of | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
rain in the East. One or two showers in the afternoon, but the weekend | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
will be characterised by warm, humid conditions, the threat of some | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
thundery downpours as well. It has felt humid. It has. It has | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
been lovely today. Before we go, let's return to the top story this | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
evening. We want to show you pictures of what happened when that | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
lorry caught fire and exploded on the Cumberland basin in Bristol. It | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
dramatic side as you can see. You have been sending in footage, thank | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
you. As you can see, it was an extensive fire because they had | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
those candles on board. The large plume of smoke caused traffic chaos | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
which has now spread. The good news is, the driver did get out safely | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
and there were no casualties that we have heard about. We will put this | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
on our Facebook page so please take a look at it. Luckily no one was | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
hurt, that is the main thing. Have a nice evening. | :27:46. | :27:54. | |
and this time the challenge is bigger than ever. | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
Six young songwriters mark a major anniversary. | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
It'll be really difficult to write a song for World War I. | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
They're really going to have to put themselves in those people's shoes. | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
Guys, did that go perfectly? Did we forget the tune? | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
I just don't want to mess it up. There's a lot of pressure. | :28:15. | :28:17. |
