Good evening. time for the news where you are.

Thousands of West Country teenagers have been celebrating

Just over two thirds got the vital A star to C grades,

It happens every year, but if this piece of paper is your

A few terror `` nerves and a few smiles. I did better than I thought

I would. I got an a in business studies, so I am happy with that. I

am pretty happy. I am not quite certain on my career choice as of

yet. Brain surgeon? Maybe, maybe not. Such fantastic results,

especially pleased with English and math, because we put a lot of work

into making sure it they achieved their potential in those areas of

study. The pupils have worked hard and the parents have been

phenomenal. For the first time this year, the official league table will

all make include results that students like this get the first

time they take an exam. That is because the former Education

Secretary accused the schools of the subject of the official league

tables by putting students in poor exams again and again. The head

teacher here rejects that out of hand.

24 students passed today on the second time round,

and she doesn't care if that doesnt make the league tables.

It is only about them, not about us, whether they have got the

progression pathway, that is all that matters to me. What we look

like in the league table that does not matter`is much as the children,

each one of them. And the politics today at least is drowned in a sea

of having an celebration. `` hugging and a celebration.

How radical have the changes been to GCSE's this year?

Note speaking in English listening tests. There have also been in and

to the reset. If you take the exam and you get a low grade, the

school's league table on the records that lower grade. Students can take

resets as many times as they want for their own benefit but it does

not benefit the school. Today, some 300,000 year ten students taking

exams earlier. For the first time this year, not getting English and

math is not an option. Absolutely. People who struggled academically

went on to a more practical career, if you like. They have to carry on

struggling `` studying English and math alongside what ever health

happens `` else happens. On to other news, and it's emerged

that a miniature train which derailed at Longleat Adventure

Park yesterday had previously come One woman has a broken leg

and four others were injured when the rear carriage of the Jungle

Longleat in September 2011, We were leaving the station. We had

not even got to the lake, and the last three carriages were thrown off

the tracks to the right`hand side. My son was in the seat opposite on

his own and he was being thrown around. The side of the carriage

came up and bruised the side of my leg, and it was absolute chaos until

it came to a rest. In a statement today a spokesperson

for Longleat said that after the 2001 derailment, "a thorough

investigation was carried out. Operator error was

quickly identified. Longleat subsequently installed

a new system to prevent it They added that the new system was

working yesterday, implying this latest derailment may

have had a different cause. And they said a through

investigation was now underway. The Jungle Express will be closed

until that cause is identified. The rest of the park

though is open as normal. Campaigners challenging

in breakfast tomorrow. But for now I'll leave you with Ian

who has the latest weather forecast. We are starting to see some heavy

showers, and this will be a feature through the course of the night. All

of that full sail away during the early hours. Tomorrow, just a few

showers, many areas will be dry, and a pleasant `` pretty pleasant day

overall. The showers are running through Bristol in through parts of

South Gloucestershire, and there could be an inch of rain for some

three hours. The main shower band is easing its way southwards through

the night. By tomorrow morning, a few showers left behind, but most

hours will remain dry tomorrow. A moderately breezy day, nothing more

than that, and we should get temperatures of up to about 18 or 19

degrees. A pleasant day for Saturday, dry on Sunday before rain,

into a nice, fine day on Sunday with lots of sunshine. Then more rain

pushes in from the west for the Bank Holiday Monday.

Good evening. There's a feel of autumn about the weather at the

moment. It's thanks to the fact we are pulling our off off the British

Isles from the north making for a cold feel by day and chilly nights.

Still some showers to contend with across England and Wales. Some heavy

through the small hours of Friday, particularly around the Bristol

channel and into the south-east towards the end of the night.

Further north, the breeze eases. The showers fade away and with clear

skies, temperatures will fall down into single figures in northern
