Welcome to BBC Points West, with Ali Vowles and David G`rmston. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
That West Country scam that robbed thousands of their savings. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
The ringleaders boasted of wallowing in cash, but ordinary | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Don't do it, just don't do ht, it is too good to be true, so do not do | :00:13. | :00:27. | |

so how can we avoid being tricked An official report blasts mdntal | :00:34. | :00:36. | |

kill themselves in hospital? The woman once told she couldn't do | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
the half marathon, is raring to go. How film makers brought the wild | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
into our living rooms. A group of greedy women who cheated | :00:55. | :01:11. | |
thousands out of their savings can be exposed as the masterminds | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
of a get`rich`quick scheme The victims, many women, | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
were invited to pamper parthes and encouraged to beg or borrow | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
?3,000 to invest, with The ring leaders, | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
from Bristol and Somerset, ran what Those who were taken in include | :01:28. | :01:32. | |

the West where those invited think And it's people introducing | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
friends and family. The spoils enjoyed by some were | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
used to recruit new members who It sounded absolutely fantastic | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
there was no way I was going to I was told it was backed | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
by major solicitors Give and Take took in 10,000 people, | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
most of whom lost their mondy. So, how does a pyramid schele work, | :02:12. | :02:30. | |
and why are they a scam? Eeverybody who joins the scheme | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
has to recruit two more people. They need 14 investors | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
below them to fill the pyralid get But the pool for new | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
recruits quickly evaporates. By the time we get to the 10th row, | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
we need to recruit 1,024 people It is a scam because, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
if I keep doubling the numbdrs, I will get to a number that is bigger | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
than the entire world popul`tion. Early on, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
it is still small enough th`t you But, at some point, | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
you just run out of people that are When it does, almost nine ott | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
of 10 people involved lose loney, Some people make money out of it but | :03:16. | :03:35. | |
eventually people putting money in will not get money back. Frdquently | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
they do not have a huge amotnt of money. | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
So, the then Office of Fair Trading brought prosecutions | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
against 11 women, using new legislation to target | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
Because it's illegal to operate or promote one. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
In a trial two years ago, that we can only now report, | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Laura Fox, the chairman of G, was jailed for nine months, as was | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
treasurer Jennifer Smith`Haxes, and venue organiser Carol Chalmers. | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
And another woman, Sally Phhllips, was handed a suspended sentdnce | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
You might be happy to put your ?3,000 in, you might be happy to | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
lose it. But the people you get involved in it, the friends or | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
relatives, how happy would xou be for them to lose their monex in | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
something you actually suggdsted that they do? | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
In a trial last year, two women Rita Lomas and Jane Smith, | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
admitted promoting Give and Take, while Rhalina Yuil was cleared | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Three more women eventually pleaded guilty to operating | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Hazel Cameron refused to colment as she left court, as did Susan Crane. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
But Mary Nash did apologise to her many victims. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
The effects remain. Do not do it, just do not do it. It is too good to | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
be true. A salutary lesson for those thinking | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
of getting involved in the future. Gary Bracken is from the Colpetition | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
and Markets Authority, which It's easy for us to sit herd | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
and think, "I'd never be But people do, 10,000 peopld in this | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
case, many of them vulnerable women. How can your organisation stop | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
this sort of thing from happening? It is a feature of these types of | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
schemes that they feed throtgh family, friends and work | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
colleagues, through communities if you like. They build in an dlement | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
of trust. People want to trtst people. If a relative is seding a | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
large pay`out, they trust that relative they want to buy into it. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
Many lost more than ?3,000. Some invested multiple times, in an | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
effort to get their money b`ck. One lady we met had lost ?18,000, others | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
had lost similar sums. Gary, what advice would you give to | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
someone watching tonight who thinks they may be caught up in ond | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
of these schemes? If they have invested already, the | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
best thing would be to report it to their local trading standards | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
office. If they are thinking of invested but haven't, by strong | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
advice would be to steer cldar. Nearly 90% of people who invest in | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
these schemes will lose thehr money. If it looks too good to be true it | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
is highly likely it is. Thank you very much indeed. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
He was "a true gentlemen, intelligent and kind". | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
Just some of the words used to describe Sam | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
Amin, the 18`year`old who dhed in the River Avon, after a night out in | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
He was due to start university next week. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Hundreds of friends and family have signed a scroll of | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Reverend Richard Wilson had known Sam Amin since he was a small boy. | :06:52. | :07:03. | |
I have seen him grow from a sweet young boy, to ` tall, | :07:04. | :07:16. | |
handsome, intelligent effortlessly cool, smiling, | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
On Tuesday night, hundreds of Sam's friends | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
and family filled the church still reeling from the news he was gone. | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
I was really delighted that Amin, Sam's died, | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Amin came to the front and picked up a picture of Sam, | :07:28. | :07:39. | |
and kissed it and held it to his heart, and we held each other. | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
If ever it were possible to measure just how much someone was loved | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
A scroll of messages of lovd for Sam, it stretches | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
the entire length of the aisle here at St Michael's Church. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Messages calling him a hero amongst his peers, | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
the coolest and kindest guy they could wish to meet. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Sam should have been taking up a place at the University | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
He was a really great role lodel because he was very well`mannered, | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
polite, and he worked exceptionally hard on securing that university | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
Sam died after falling into the river on Saturday night, | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
The safety debate will no doubt continue, so will the memorhes, | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
tributes, the outpouring of love for ` young | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Psychiatric patients in the West may have been put `t risk | :08:38. | :08:54. | |
That's according to a report by the Care Quality Commisshon | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
into the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership. | :08:59. | :08:59. | |
The trust's been told it must improve and, in response, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
claims it's already launched a programme of urgent improvements. | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
Here's our health correspondent, Matthew Hill. | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
I've discharged myself because I wasn't getting thd support | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
I needed, and I could get bdtter help at home, 24 hours a dax. | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
Kate Brett says, if it wasn't for her husband's support, | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
Her lowest point was just before Christmas when she r`ng staff | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
I said to them, I can't copd any more, I want to die, I need | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
They said, your appointment is in two weeks, | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
According to a report today into the trust that's in ch`rge | :09:40. | :09:52. | |
of Kate's care, many other patients may have been put at risk. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
An inspection in June by thd CQC found that wards, | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
including this medium`securd unit, were poorly staffed. | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
Earlier this year, an inquest found James Pollard had killed hilself | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
in this unit, using the lead from his CD player, and staff neglect | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Since then, three other pathents have hanged themselves, one at this | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
unit in Bristol, and two here Bath. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
`` in Bath. The report says there are too many ligature points | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
Even these trees here are considered a risk. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
There have been some unnecessary, severe incidents | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
That is why the Care Quality Commission is taking | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
While the CQC found staff to be c`ring | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
and under good leadership, they are demanding 30 urgent improvelents. | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
If the trust fail to make these improvements by the end of the year | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
they could face prosecution, or even be closed down. | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
Iain Tulley is the chief exdcutive of the Avon and Wiltshire Mdntal | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
If you have a relative in one of your units tonight, how confident | :11:06. | :11:20. | |
can they be that they are in safe hands? | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
I would like to assure the public they will be in safe hands. The | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
commission has pointed out ` number of challenges we have two f`ces The | :11:27. | :11:37. | |
field of psychiatric medicine is a difficult field to recruit staff. We | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
have a turnover of staff of 600 people a year. We want to m`intain a | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
recruitment process. You putting it down to staff shortages? | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
It will impact if we have insufficient staff on the ground so | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
it is important we have adepuate numbers to deal with the most | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
challenging people. If they are more challenging, and | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
other staff, other trusts do not have the same death rate? | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
Any suicide is a tragedy. It is a context issue. We had to assess the | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
risk of people in our care to make sure they have adequate support | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
It does not sound like a particularly safe place to work We | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
know in the medium`secure unit in Bristol, six members of staff in the | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
last six weeks have been off sick after being attacked by pathents. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
The commission pointed out our staff is very good, high quality `nd | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
compassionate care. These units are a high`risk place to work and have | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
dedicated staff. They deal with some very challenging individuals. It is | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
important we support our st`ff so they do not endure the injuries some | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
staff have had the misfortune to do so. | :12:57. | :12:56. | |
It's nice to have your comp`ny on this Thursday evening. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Still to come on this evening's Points West: | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
Last`minute training for thd Bristol half. | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
We meet the woman who battldd hard to even take part, after | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
How devices like this shell`cam have helped | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
the BBC's Natural History Unit hold onto its worldwide reputation. | :13:16. | :13:26. | |
A farmer's son has been charged with attempting to murder his father | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
Lewis Clapp was arrested after the incident allegedlx took | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
place on the family farm at Baltonsborough near Glastonbury. | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
He was remanded in custody `t Exeter Crown Court today. | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
His father is believed to bd in a serious but stable condition | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
at Southmead Hospital where he's being treated for stab wounds. | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
It's being reported that a new nuclear power station | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
The European Commission is trying to work out if a deal | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
between our government and the French power company EDF is legal. | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Tonight, the Commission wouldn't comlent on | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
But one local MP told us he was now "totally confident" that Hinkley C | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Our Somerset correspondent, Clinton Rogers, has been | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
If you look at the number of bulldozers already on site, | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
you'd be forgiven for thinkhng the deal's already done. | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
They've already started exc`vating 4.2 million tonnes of earth here, | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
enough to fill 1,300 Olympic`size swimming pools. | :14:32. | :14:45. | |
The company is keen this is not seen as arrogance, | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
that in some way the Europe`n Union decision is a foregone conclusion. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
On the other hand, you don't do all of this, | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
you don't invest ?1 billion, unless you're pretty confiddnt the | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
An unconfirmed report from Brussels tonight suggests that | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
an inquiry into whether the price the Government will pay | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
EDF for new nuclear electricty breaches EU competition laws has | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
And, while neither the comp`ny nor EU officials will confirm or deny | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
that report, one local MP s`ys Hinkley will be built, | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
We are depending on the Ukr`ine and gas from Russia. | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
No, we have to go beyond th`t, grow up, and get on with the damned job. | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
Unsurprisngly, anti`nuclear campaigners see it difrerently. | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
`` differently. They point out EDF still hasn't got investment partners | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
I personally do not see it being built. | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
Pension funds are taking the money into the new revolution, | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
EDF says the investors will come on board, once the European hurdle | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
The Commission is expected to make a formal announcement | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
As thousands get ready for this weekend's half mar`thon | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
in Bristol, among them is one competitor who's already won a race | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Jo Blinman, from Almondsburx, lost two daughters in a house fire, | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
She was originally told she couldn't compete because it would take too | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
But I'm pleased to say she's made it! | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Well, to get her in the zond, Andy Howard is with Jo | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
on that all important start line this evening, Andy. | :16:43. | :16:56. | |
This is the sight which will greet more than 05,0 0 | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
people who are about to start the 13.1 miles of Bristol h`lf | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
From here on Anchor Road, they'll snake out to the harbour side, under | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
the suspension bridge, before coming back around to there, to finish | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
One woman who'll be here wahting really didn't expect to be hnvolved. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Jo Blinman was told a few months ago that she wouldn't | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
be allowed to compete by being walked around the circuit | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
But she wasn't going to be beaten, and will now take part, in this | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
You've had a crash course in wheelchair racing. | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
It has been hard work. Yes, very hard work, you need to get the | :17:32. | :17:46. | |
rhythm right, the steering right. I think I can win over my famhly in | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
hand wrestling! As we look out from here, | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
with more than 13 miles to go, We've filmed it and sped thd footage | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
up, it's all on our Facebook page. Here it is for you, Jo, | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
what do you make of it? It is daunting. It is going to be | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
exciting. I am nervous, but bring it on. What point in the route are you | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
looking forward to passing? Most of the way, actually. | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
You have the suspension bridge above you if all else fails. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
Let us show you the wheelch`ir in action. Do you have a Time hn mind? | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
All I can say is that we ard saying four hours. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
If someone sees you along the route? You are more than welcome to shout | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
out! Your family has gone through an | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
awful lot. You have lost two daughters in a | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
house fire which is where you hurt your legs. What would they think of | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
you for doing this? I am hoping they will be urging me | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
on and be proud of me. I just want... It's not just for them but | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
for other people, to let thdm see that an ordinary housewife can do | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
what an athlete can do. An inspirational woman, and after a | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
battle, she will be there on Sunday morning. | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
So, today is the actual day we are officially 80! | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
Throughout the week, we've been celebrating eight decades | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
Yes, we've enlisted the help of TV legend John Craven to help ts | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
And, for many, it's the programmes made just across the car park in the | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
So, I popped along this aftdrnoon to see what they're up to. | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
Just take a look at these, beautiful pictures. I am in one of thd edit | :19:53. | :20:02. | |
suite at the Natural Historx Unit. This is the latest wildlife | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
blockbuster to come out of here This is a training camera, the | :20:06. | :20:12. | |

some of the latest animal m`gic Mention BBC Bristol, and for most | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
people the Natural History Tnit springs to mind. | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
The NHU was created in 1957. And steadily built its reputation to | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
become a global leader making TV and radio programmes about the natural | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
world. I hope we have something interesting | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
for you next time. It was in 1979 that it really took | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
off with the landmark series Life On Earth, with David Attenborotgh. | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
10,000 feet up, in central Africa... | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
I have come to Gorilla Island at Bristol Zoo to sit `` to medt Martin | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
who worked on the programme with Sir David. | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
Perhaps the most famous momdnt, you were behind the camera, when David | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Attenborough had that encounter with the gorilla. | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
We were preparing a piece to camera with David when this little gorilla | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
came out and started to sit on his lap. It was too good to miss. It | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
became quite an iconic sequdnce Surrounded by 15 mountain gorillas | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
in Africa. There is more. Mutual | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
understanding, and exchange of glances. | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
Were they all quite friendlx? The one with David as robots. All of | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
them. The amazing thing, looking back, at no time did any of us feel | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
afraid. I am told that famous sequence | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
nearly did not get shown? When we came down from the lountain, | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
we got into a truck. David and the sound recordist were | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
in the back, I was with the driver. We rounded a corner. There was a | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
roadblock. The driver said, bandits, he charged through. Bullets started | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
flying. David Attenborough was flattened on the back of thd truck. | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
We went another few miles and it turned out to be the Army. | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
We had driven through an arly roadblock. We were arrested. | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
They wanted to confiscate the film. While the producer and David were | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
distracting the security people we were putting exposed labels on an | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
exposed film. That was cheeky. They wanted to open | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
it and hold it up to the light. The exceptional programmes that Sir | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
David produced over the years have been an inspiration to millhons | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
worldwide, including the current head of the unit. | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
Everyone associates the Nattral History Unit with Sir David. They | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
do, take me for example, I was 4. Life On Earth became the inspiration | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
for me to be curious in the world around me. Like many colleagues and | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
the camera teams, that was the catalyst that set us on our journey. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
The NHU now makes a huge variety of programmes for all ages, live | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
shows, and children's series. The quest to get ever closer, | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
unobstructed shots of natur`l animal behaviour has led to ingenious | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
methods, like disguising thd camera is as natural objects, even other | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
animals. Right now, we are pushing the | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
boundaries with things like helicopters with multiple c`meras on | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
them which have the ability to fly into the environment. | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
Is there a danger the audience might become blase and want even lore | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
sensational tricks? It is our job to make sure that we | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
are always one step ahead. Ht is what the world expects of you. | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
Utterly. Today, I will have 50 throughs in | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
seven continents, in remote locations, halfway up a tred, doing | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
some filming. As for David Attenborough, he is still m`king | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
films, such as this new blockbuster. We are very proud of all our | :24:41. | :24:52. | |
colleagues. And it wouldn't be | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
a birthday without cake. This was our entry in the | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
BBC Bristol birthday bake`off. Sadly, we didn't win but, | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
as they say in the best competitions, we w`s robbed | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
by our friends at Radio Bristol They were lovely. I have eaten so | :25:07. | :25:23. | |
much! Congratulations to the women, | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
because it has only taken 269, but the women have got the vote, and can | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
play golf. It has been a while since wd have | :25:32. | :25:44. | |
been talking about lively wdather. That is on offer over the ndxt 4 | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
hours. Some of you are seeing that in the shape of thunder storms and | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
heavy downpours. A very warl day tomorrow. Not everywhere will see | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
this. But a fair number of xou will. That has warranted a Met Office | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
yellow warning which will come into force tonight, running into Friday, | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
the potential for torrential downpours, surface water flooding, | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
lightning risk, as much as two inches of rain. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
Potentially disruptive. We do have thunderstorms at the moment tracking | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
through Wilts, and Bath. Tonight and tomorrow, this disturbance runs up | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
from France, sparking things of through the day. Through thd rest of | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
this evening, the key clustdr is heading towards Devizes. Later on | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
tonight, particularly after midnight, a succession of hdavy | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
showers and thunderstorms. Ht will be a decidedly warm and sultry | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
night, especially for this time of year, temperatures no lower than 16 | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
Celsius. A lot of cloud tomorrow. Still some heavy showers. For many | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
of you, it will be a gradually brightening process in the liddle of | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
the day. That is how the dax will remain, pleasant enough. But not so | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
where you are under the showers Some of those could remain ` feature | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
into the evening. Temperatures in sunny spots, 24 | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
Celsius is likely. We will see some further showers on Saturday, after a | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
foggy start. Sunday looks bdtter. A fresher feel as well. | :27:28. | :27:35. | |
Nice to have some summery wdather still. | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
You can see our programme on Scotland tonight. I will be watching | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
all night because it will bd fascinating. | :27:47. | :28:14. | |
