:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from me -
:00:00. > :00:07.Welcome to BBC Points West with Amanda Parr and Sabet Choudhury
:00:08. > :00:10.The special school under threat.
:00:11. > :00:27.Coln House in Gloucestershire could now be closed for good.
:00:28. > :00:33.There are no children at Coln House. Now it has emembers of the juried
:00:34. > :00:37.that the school faces closure. We speak to the wife
:00:38. > :00:41.of Sergeant Al Blackman serving life Explorer David Hempleman-Ad`ms
:00:42. > :00:46.returns from the Arctic with tales of disappearing sea ice
:00:47. > :00:49.and everything's set for renewed rivalry at The Rec as Bristol run
:00:50. > :00:52.out at Bath for the first The future of a special school
:00:53. > :01:09.in Gloucestershire is in dotbt tonight after the council rdvealed
:01:10. > :01:11.it's no longer financially viable. All the children at Coln Hotse
:01:12. > :01:14.in Fairford were removed in the summer after concerns
:01:15. > :01:16.were raised about pupil safdty. A consultation begins next week
:01:17. > :01:18.with the council saying that the possible closure
:01:19. > :01:20.of the school and the investigations into what went
:01:21. > :01:22.on there are unconnected. Here's our Gloucestershire
:01:23. > :01:29.reporter, Steve Knibbs. Even before Ofsted published
:01:30. > :01:35.the results of its inspection earlier this year the counchl
:01:36. > :01:40.was told of worrying concerns. Most notably a high number
:01:41. > :01:43.of physical restraints being used on pupils and a failure
:01:44. > :01:45.of the schools management As a result the County Council
:01:46. > :01:49.stepped in and removed the pupils I understand the headteacher
:01:50. > :01:56.and three non-teaching membdrs of staff have been suspended,
:01:57. > :01:58.an interim head has been brought in as well as an interim bo`rd
:01:59. > :02:13.of governors after the orighnal As to why the children were removed?
:02:14. > :02:17.Very little is being made ptblic. I don't want to prejudice an on going
:02:18. > :02:20.investigation. There are cldarly a number of concerns about chhldren's
:02:21. > :02:25.safety. There were no alleg`tions made as far as I'm aware regarding
:02:26. > :02:31.sexual abuse, I know that h`s been a rumour that's been going around I
:02:32. > :02:34.want to Scotch that straightaway. The council says that demand for
:02:35. > :02:41.Coln House has dropped and they will not be able to keep it open. That
:02:42. > :02:47.means the school will be making a crippling loss. By 2018, 2009 we
:02:48. > :02:53.will have to find ?2.5 millhon to deal with the deficit. Unions say
:02:54. > :02:59.they believe the council mishandled the removal of the pupils. Teachers
:03:00. > :03:03.at Coln House are being givdn extra training and others are at
:03:04. > :03:06.placements in other schools. The union accepts that the school won't
:03:07. > :03:11.be able to stay open. Whilst we are saddened by the fact that it will
:03:12. > :03:15.probably mean the loss of another school that's been popular. So the
:03:16. > :03:19.needs of the community well, the case for the lack of financhal
:03:20. > :03:23.viability is quite strong. @nd I think it is fair to say that having
:03:24. > :03:27.talked to members, we're quhte resigned to the fact that the most
:03:28. > :03:34.likely outcome is closure at some point next year.
:03:35. > :03:37.All of the children removed from here in the summer
:03:38. > :03:39.are now at other schools - it now seems increasingly lhkely
:03:40. > :03:42.they'll become the last int`ke pupils to be taught at Coln House.
:03:43. > :03:46.It's emerged that a year seven pupil took a knife to school in Bristol.
:03:47. > :03:48.The item was confiscated from the girl who was seen with it

:04:26. > :04:28.Jolly's on Milsom Street had to be evacuated this afternoon.
:04:29. > :04:30.Smoke could be seen inside the building and emergency

:04:33. > :04:34.stairwell in a residential part of the building.
:04:35. > :04:41.It was extinguished by the sprinkler system.

:04:58. > :05:02.Our Somerset Correspondent Clinton Rogers has been speaking
:05:03. > :05:23.For the past three Clares Clare Blackman has been campaigning to get
:05:24. > :05:25.her husband out of prison. She was heartened when the Criminal Cases
:05:26. > :05:30.Review Commission decided to take a fresh look at his case, but that was
:05:31. > :05:35.almost a year ago. We were lindful that, you know, it wasn't going to
:05:36. > :05:41.be a quick process and we obviously want them to do a truly thorough job
:05:42. > :05:46.of reviewing the case. We c`n't to have confidence in the decision when
:05:47. > :05:53.they reach it. But that said, you know, this is another ten months
:05:54. > :06:00.that Al is not home and the waiting is the hardest part. In 2013, former
:06:01. > :06:03.sergeant Al Blackman became the first British servicemen to be
:06:04. > :06:09.convicted of murder on the battlefield since the Second World
:06:10. > :06:12.War. His life sentence was for shooting a wounded insurgent in
:06:13. > :06:20.Afghanistan. His action and his words leading up to it were captured
:06:21. > :06:24.by helmetcam ras. His supporters who have verx
:06:25. > :06:27.publicly campaigned for his release, this is the last time they took
:06:28. > :06:31.their protest to the streets of London, say he has been harshly
:06:32. > :06:36.treated for a moment of madness on the battlefield.
:06:37. > :06:38.Among them, the best selling author Frederick Forsyth who is highly
:06:39. > :06:46.critical of the body reviewhng the case. They were given flat
:06:47. > :06:51.instructions that this was to be a level one, meaning immediatd, with
:06:52. > :06:57.total urgency applied to it. Since then both the defending barrister,
:06:58. > :07:00.he is one of the best defending barristers have been bewilddred by
:07:01. > :07:04.the fact that they dawdled `nd dawdled. Very, very slowly passing
:07:05. > :07:08.the documents from desk to desk and saying nothing.
:07:09. > :07:12.Commission says the criticisms are unfair. It is treating the case as a
:07:13. > :07:17.priority. But it is a compldx one with a large volume of written
:07:18. > :07:21.argument to consider. One of the main platforms for an appeal now is
:07:22. > :07:25.that the lesser charge of manslaughter on the grounds of
:07:26. > :07:30.diminished responsibility w`s never considered at the original court
:07:31. > :07:35.marshal. A decision on that, whenever it is, will determhne how
:07:36. > :07:39.much longer the former Royal Marine will spend in Wiltshire's Erlestoke
:07:40. > :07:45.Prison. His wife says the c`mpaign to free him will continue.
:07:46. > :07:52.It's Amanda and Sabet with you this Thursday evenhng.
:07:53. > :08:00.The team that brought us the fabulous Warhorse prdsents
:08:01. > :08:03.a new puppet play with its roots firmly here in the West.
:08:04. > :08:07.Yes, it's a big egg, but what on earth did
:08:08. > :08:13.All will be revealed later in the programme.
:08:14. > :08:15.It's now only a matter of days before America
:08:16. > :08:21.The contest is being followed especially closely
:08:22. > :08:26.This evening a full house is expected for a lecture
:08:27. > :08:28.by North East Somerset MP Jacob Rees Mogg -
:08:29. > :08:30.who once said he would back the Republican candidate,
:08:31. > :08:38.Let's join our political editor Paul Barltrop.
:08:39. > :08:47.Well, people have been having their drinks and they are starting to come
:08:48. > :08:54.in. The lecture starts in a few minutes time. 120 seats in this
:08:55. > :08:59.venue. It sold out very fast indeed. Jacobries mooing is the draw. He is
:09:00. > :09:03.talking about Britain in a post Brexit world building up tr`de with
:09:04. > :09:08.the United States and of cotrse enormous interest in that US
:09:09. > :09:13.Presidential election. Well, Jacob Rhys Mogg ruffled feathers when he
:09:14. > :09:17.said if he was an American he would be voting Republican for drfrp, but
:09:18. > :09:21.he changed his mind and he has been explaining why.
:09:22. > :09:24.In the normal course of events I would vote for the Republhcan
:09:25. > :09:26.candidate who happened to bd Donald Trump.
:09:27. > :09:28.The tape recording that camd out was extremely disagreeable
:09:29. > :09:31.and I would find it not possible to vote for somebody who had said
:09:32. > :09:36.On the other hand I am not a Democrat so I would not bd voting
:09:37. > :09:38.for Mrs Clinton and rather Feebly and uncharacteristically
:09:39. > :09:54.Of course, we've had more allegations today from another woman
:09:55. > :09:58.talking about what Donald Trump may or may not have done. Here with me
:09:59. > :10:01.is the director of the Amerhcan Museum. How much interest do you
:10:02. > :10:04.think there is this side of the Atlantic in what's going on back in
:10:05. > :10:10.America? It used to be the case that people
:10:11. > :10:14.would ask me all the time what's happening at the American Mtseum?
:10:15. > :10:18.How is it faring? For the l`st 4 or 15 months I have only been `sked one
:10:19. > :10:24.question - what do you make of Donald Trump? So there is enormous
:10:25. > :10:29.interest, I think, in the election. Trump himself is a phenomenon.
:10:30. > :10:32.Certainly his ascendancy to the nomination is unprecedented and I
:10:33. > :10:39.think even though Hillary Clinton seems to be drawing ahead at this
:10:40. > :10:42.point, and for many fairly obvious reasons, there still could be
:10:43. > :10:45.surprises in the next three weeks. Briefly for you, as an Amerhcan
:10:46. > :10:53.living over here, what do you think of it all? Well, I think it is
:10:54. > :10:57.fascinating. I think that wdaring my director's hat, I can't say
:10:58. > :11:01.anything, but wearing my own hat, so to speak, I hope that the bdst woman
:11:02. > :11:05.wins! Richard, thank you very much. Of
:11:06. > :11:09.course, 19 days to go. It whll be interesting to see what Jacob Rhys
:11:10. > :11:13.Mogg has to say about the United States and possible next prdsident
:11:14. > :11:17.of it in his speech beginning here in a few minutes time.
:11:18. > :11:19.The Duchess of Cornwall has officially named the area ottside
:11:20. > :11:22.Swindon's railway station after a famous engineer.
:11:23. > :11:25.Sir Daniel Gooch Place celebrates the man who helped Brunel establish
:11:26. > :11:32.His effort and ideas gave bhrth to the Swindon we know todax,
:11:33. > :11:35.but he was responsible for so much more, as our Wiltshire Reporter
:11:36. > :11:44.Arriving on one of the new GWR trains into the railway
:11:45. > :11:48.The Duchess of Cornwall bringing royal approval for the man
:11:49. > :11:52.Her Royal Highness named the square outside the stathon
:11:53. > :11:59.as Sir Daniel Gooch Place.
:12:00. > :12:06.I'm really pleased. It is a great honour to have Her Royal Highness
:12:07. > :12:11.with us today. Swindon is a really important place in the history of
:12:12. > :12:14.Great Western Railway and it is great to celebrate that and
:12:15. > :12:18.particularly celebrate the really important role of Sir Daniel Gooch
:12:19. > :12:24.who isn't someone that the railway talks about as much as we should do.
:12:25. > :12:27.A ceremony, a plaque a royal unveiling, Sir Daniel Gooch must
:12:28. > :12:33.have been important and he was. The father of Swindon's rail works he
:12:34. > :12:35.went on to become chairman of the GWR, an eng engineering and pioneer
:12:36. > :12:38.and for 20 years an MP. Born in 1816, Gooch built
:12:39. > :12:41.locomotives, employing thousands. It was thanks to him
:12:42. > :12:46.the Severn Tunnel was compldted He was known to royalty but also
:12:47. > :12:53.to thousands of ordinary people After unveiling the plaque Camilla
:12:54. > :12:58.was shown extracts from the Gooch exhibition from the nearby
:12:59. > :13:09.Steam Museum, and a specially Daniel Gooch was the person who
:13:10. > :13:13.brought the Great Western R`ilway to Swindon. He was very interested in
:13:14. > :13:17.Swindon and developing it and looking after the workers and the
:13:18. > :13:20.community. He did a lot of benevolent work for the people of
:13:21. > :13:24.Swindon. He was a great, grdat man. He was not a fuddy-duddy engineer,
:13:25. > :13:26.he was an entrepreneur. He was a forward thinking man. He loved
:13:27. > :13:28.engines. In his day Gooch's brilliance
:13:29. > :13:33.was widely recognised, but over time, he faded
:13:34. > :13:35.into Brunel's shadow. Maybe now the memory
:13:36. > :13:37.of one our greatest Victori`ns The Transport Secretary Chrhs
:13:38. > :13:50.Grayling has announced a multi-million pound motorway
:13:51. > :13:53.improvement programme It includes work on the M4
:13:54. > :13:59.at junction 15 for Swindon ?5 million has been earmarkdd
:14:00. > :14:04.for the project and ?750,000 is being committed to improvements
:14:05. > :14:09.at the M5 junction 21 for Wdston. It has been confirmed that Radiohead
:14:10. > :14:13.will headline Glastonbury ndxt year. Rumours that the band would return
:14:14. > :14:16.to Worthy Farm began to circulate yesterday when the Radiohead logo
:14:17. > :14:20.appeared in the grass It's now been made official that
:14:21. > :14:25.they'll top the bill One of English rugby's biggdst
:14:26. > :14:33.rivalries is rekindled tonight It's been seven years since the two
:14:34. > :14:40.clubs met in a competitive fixture. This evening they're
:14:41. > :14:42.playing at The Rec in the European Challenge Cup,
:14:43. > :14:43.and our sports editor This might not have the importance
:14:44. > :14:56.of a Premiership match, but these two clubs have wahted
:14:57. > :14:59.so long to play each other `gain that there's a real appetitd
:15:00. > :15:10.and excitement for the game. Their rivalry goes all the way back
:15:11. > :15:13.to October 1888, 128 years `go and it's Bristol who have enjoyed
:15:14. > :15:19.the more wins - 132 to Bath's 8 . It's almost neck-and-neck
:15:20. > :15:22.here at the Rec Bath 50 wins But of course most of those games
:15:23. > :15:30.came in the amateur era. Since rugby went profession`l Bath
:15:31. > :15:33.have dominated here - This will be a special night
:15:34. > :15:40.for Andy Robinson who played his entire career with Bath,
:15:41. > :15:46.winning derbies and trophies. He still lives in the city too,
:15:47. > :15:51.but these days he's Bristol's At least there shouldn't be too many
:15:52. > :16:00.surprises for him tonight. When the boys walked down
:16:01. > :16:02.from the hotel on Thursday They'll understand what it hs like
:16:03. > :16:06.to play at a fantastic stadhum, but also iconic pitch reallx,
:16:07. > :16:09.you know, to play and I think what we're all looking forw`rd
:16:10. > :16:23.to is how we perform. Well, Markry Gan played for both of
:16:24. > :16:29.the clubs down the years. M`rk, it is great to have the fixturd back on
:16:30. > :16:35.the calendar, isn't? Yes. I played here in March 2009. A great
:16:36. > :16:40.occasion. Andy has spoken about it. Not too serious, but they whll want
:16:41. > :16:43.a huge win the the guys havdn't won here for a long timement thd
:16:44. > :16:47.youngsters will want to put in a good performance. Would a whn mean
:16:48. > :16:53.more to Bristol than Bath tonight? Ah, hugely. We played seven and lost
:16:54. > :16:57.seven. Come to Bath, perforl here as well, a good objective, it hs
:16:58. > :17:02.rekindled old friends and old foes together today. Old rivalrids and
:17:03. > :17:06.leave here on a high and obviously the next objective will be to get a
:17:07. > :17:09.good performance in ten days time and we can rest up and I look
:17:10. > :17:13.forward to the premiership latch. Where the tackles that little bit
:17:14. > :17:16.harder when you played Bath or Bristol whichever side you were on?
:17:17. > :17:21.Yes, they were indeed. They are bigger, faster and stronger now and
:17:22. > :17:26.the guys are physical and there is so many cameras around now ` days,
:17:27. > :17:30.you play the game very fair. Not when I played! Who are you going for
:17:31. > :17:36.tonight? Who is going to win it I think Bristol! You think Brhstol!
:17:37. > :17:41.I'm there or thereabouts on the fence, but I would love to see
:17:42. > :17:45.Bristol perform and play re`lly well go out and perform and put their
:17:46. > :17:49.hands up for selection. Neither side are picking their first chohce team,
:17:50. > :17:53.but Bath have included one of their cult heroes on the bench. It is his
:17:54. > :17:56.final game before going back to Australia. Leroy Houston and they
:17:57. > :17:59.are giving everyone one of these tonight, what do you reckon, an
:18:00. > :18:06.improvement? STUDIO: No, Ali! A sea of Ldroys
:18:07. > :18:09.will be exciting, won't it? The director and puppetry tdam
:18:10. > :18:11.behind the massively successful Warhorse have created a new musical,
:18:12. > :18:16.set in Bristol. It's based on a 19th
:18:17. > :18:19.century Victor Hugo novel. It opens to the public
:18:20. > :18:22.at the Bristol Old Vic tonight. Alice Bouverie's been
:18:23. > :18:32.along to rehearsals. They're saying it's
:18:33. > :18:37.a musical unlike any other. Tragedy, comedy, a love
:18:38. > :18:50.story, even puppets. Whatever is happening internally or
:18:51. > :18:52.whether he is trying to say something. The internal process
:18:53. > :18:54.needs to be bigger. The play reunites Tom Morris,
:18:55. > :18:56.the creative genius behind Warhorse, with two of the puppeteers
:18:57. > :19:09.from the original production. We found a lot of understanding of
:19:10. > :19:12.how to use puppets in Warhorse. Now we are starting with that
:19:13. > :19:14.information and being able to programme it into the show from the
:19:15. > :19:16.beginning. So that's great. All this year, the Bristol Old Vic
:19:17. > :19:18.has been celebrating This musical, one of
:19:19. > :19:29.the flagship productions. This theatre is 250 years old and it
:19:30. > :19:32.is easy to think of it as a historical theatre, but the only
:19:33. > :19:37.reason that it survived for 250 years is because it has alw`ys been
:19:38. > :19:40.looking forward, it has alw`ys been inventing new kinds of theatre and
:19:41. > :19:44.it has always been taking rhsks If we want to honour the history of
:19:45. > :19:49.this place, we have to keep doing it. That's what we love doing and
:19:50. > :19:54.that's what we will be doing with this show.
:19:55. > :19:58.The music was written by two local composers.
:19:59. > :20:01.An imaginary Stokes Croft in Bristol is the setting for the storx.
:20:02. > :20:07.And one of the stars of the show is herself a Bristol girl.
:20:08. > :20:14.I never done anything in Brhstol, performed here before. So to be part
:20:15. > :20:20.of a huge celebration like this is such an honour.
:20:21. > :20:23.And it is nice to represent Bristol and for Bristol to be sort of
:20:24. > :20:24.pioneering and bringing out something new for the rest of the
:20:25. > :20:27.country to see. Everyone hopes this show will make
:20:28. > :20:29.it to the West End. The first British team
:20:30. > :20:37.to circumnavigate the North Pole in a single season has returned
:20:38. > :20:43.to the West. The yacht, Northabout, saildd back
:20:44. > :20:46.into Bristol this morning, The crew including our
:20:47. > :20:49.very own adventurer, David Hempleman-Adams are trying
:20:50. > :21:03.to highlight what's happening A landscape very much on thd change
:21:04. > :21:07.I guess? Yeah, the first tile I went out to the Arctic was in thd 80s and
:21:08. > :21:13.it was very different of thd there was lots of ice. Thick ice `nd lots
:21:14. > :21:15.of volume. Now, we went arotnd the north-east and the north-west
:21:16. > :21:19.passage in one season which is unheard of. It is rather sad that
:21:20. > :21:23.you've come back this quickly? Unbelievable. The north-west passage
:21:24. > :21:27.we did in 14 days. Before that, it would take two or three seasons You
:21:28. > :21:33.didn't know what you would face when you headed out there. What was going
:21:34. > :21:39.through your mind at that point Well, the problem because it would
:21:40. > :21:42.take me four years to get the expedition together and I ndver knew
:21:43. > :21:49.if it was achievable. So I wasn t sure if this boat would be stuck
:21:50. > :21:53.somewhere and over winter lhke the other teams that had tried. So at
:21:54. > :21:58.back of my mind I was thinkhng, "How far will we get?" Once we got to
:21:59. > :22:03.half-way around the north-e`st passage, then all the ice wdnt and
:22:04. > :22:08.we had a really quick trip `round. Seeing that, and realising what that
:22:09. > :22:15.meant... It was shocking. H`lfs it like? Shocking. The north-wdst
:22:16. > :22:20.passage, there wasn't one bht of ice not enough ice for a gin and tonic.
:22:21. > :22:25.It is extraordinary and it hs scary as well. It will impact on ts
:22:26. > :22:30.eventually and we just seem to hide from it.
:22:31. > :22:36.You can hide from it, but the consequences are going to bd really
:22:37. > :22:41.terrible, isn't it? Absolutdly. Things are changing so quickly. In
:22:42. > :22:45.my lifetime to see so much change. Is there any way back? The
:22:46. > :22:51.scientists say there is a thpping point and in 20 years time, there
:22:52. > :22:54.won't be any ice at all the North Pole during the summer and ht will
:22:55. > :22:59.have dire con qens of coursd. What do you want to achieve from here? It
:23:00. > :23:04.is a very visual thing. It hs a huge achievement for you guys to have
:23:05. > :23:08.done this. And obviously, everybody has been watching you. What would
:23:09. > :23:12.you like to happen next? Thd only reason I actually did it, it was
:23:13. > :23:18.nice to do the adventure, btt the main thing was awareness. Wd set-up
:23:19. > :23:22.a charity called Wicked Weather Watch, this is for youngsters, they
:23:23. > :23:26.can log on and find out mord about it. It is about the science and
:23:27. > :23:31.actually see what is happenhng. We are going to keep the boat hn
:23:32. > :23:35.Bristol and put on an exhibhtion so schoolchildren or schools c`n come
:23:36. > :23:39.down and visit and they can make up their own mind because my
:23:40. > :23:43.generation, we've messed it up and unfortunately, these youngsters have
:23:44. > :23:47.inherited it. One of the advantages of your crew, I remember, when you
:23:48. > :23:53.set off, you have a very yotng crew member as well, Ben? Yeah. How did
:23:54. > :23:57.he get on? Well, Ben started off in Bristol. Went around the whole route
:23:58. > :24:02.and this poor lad, he had to put up with some grumpy old men! Hd's 4?
:24:03. > :24:07.14. He went out a boy and c`me back a young man. He was an extr`ordinary
:24:08. > :24:10.to put up with it. But I thought it was very important rather than me
:24:11. > :24:14.sort of banging on, I thought it was important that his peer grotp, his
:24:15. > :24:19.age grourngs he blogged on `ldaily basis so he could put his vhews
:24:20. > :24:23.across to that generation which was very important.
:24:24. > :24:27.David, it has been amazing to talk about this subject. Stay with us,
:24:28. > :24:29.because you have seen extrory things in your life, but I want yot to take
:24:30. > :24:32.a look at this! A little earlier we showed
:24:33. > :24:35.you pictures of a very big dgg. It was laid on New Macdonalds Farm
:24:36. > :24:39.in Box in Wiltshire. But take a look at what happened
:24:40. > :24:43.when they cracked it. Yes, inside there was,
:24:44. > :24:53.in fact, another egg Have you seen anything like that? I
:24:54. > :24:58.have seen a few things, but never saw that. How did that happdn?
:24:59. > :25:05.Apparently it is not completely tun heard of and we have had messages
:25:06. > :25:18.from people on Facebook who have had an egg within an egg. Hello both.
:25:19. > :25:22.Just returning to what David was saying about the sea ice, this is
:25:23. > :25:25.something we keep a close on at this time of year in terms of looking
:25:26. > :25:30.towards the seasonal forecast into winter. It may seem
:25:31. > :25:35.counter-intuitive, but we know through research when we get
:25:36. > :25:42.exceptionally low amounts of sea ice this actually can have an effect as
:25:43. > :25:49.we look into the winter in loading the dice in a colder winter for our
:25:50. > :25:55.neck of the woods. At the moment we have low sea ice in that arda. It is
:25:56. > :25:58.one that we are keeping abrdast of. We will keep you updated on the
:25:59. > :26:02.winter thoughts as we get into November. Let's talk about something
:26:03. > :26:05.chilly closer to the current time because it will be a cold nhght We
:26:06. > :26:09.will be under a ridge of high pressure. That means that there is
:26:10. > :26:12.the risk of fog around as wdll. But once we clear that out of the way
:26:13. > :26:15.tomorrow, we should be in for a pleasant enough day. Varying amounts
:26:16. > :26:20.of cloud and sunshine and lhght winds and dry. A wider look at
:26:21. > :26:25.things shows the access of the ridge of high pressure across the top of
:26:26. > :26:29.us, hence a greater risk colpared to recent nights of frost and fog and
:26:30. > :26:34.as we run through into tomorrow we continue with this benign p`ttern
:26:35. > :26:37.and it will be set as we he`d into the weekend turning breezy `nd more
:26:38. > :26:42.particularly so as we get through into Sunday. There had been showers
:26:43. > :26:45.running in from the north. The forecast model deficient on those.
:26:46. > :26:48.We could catch a few of those into Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. But a
:26:49. > :26:53.temporary phase. Through tonight, a good deal of clear sky around.
:26:54. > :26:58.Decent for those of you watching for the meteor shower. But also decent
:26:59. > :27:01.conditions to get some fog forming and some of those could be dense
:27:02. > :27:05.patches where we get them and equally some parts of the
:27:06. > :27:07.countryside could see frost unsuppliesingly with air
:27:08. > :27:11.temperatures as low as two or three Celsius for some. Now I would
:27:12. > :27:16.caution where we have patchds of fog, this isn't just for thd West
:27:17. > :27:21.Country, it could be further on your travels, it could take to mhd-or
:27:22. > :27:25.late morning. But once that process is complete, all of us seeing a
:27:26. > :27:28.decent day and varying amounts of sunshine, light winds, not dxpecting
:27:29. > :27:33.any showers through the course of tomorrow. Temperatures in a range of
:27:34. > :27:37.11 to 13 Celsius. Saturday looking dry. Varying amounts of clotd. The
:27:38. > :27:41.breeze picking up towards the end of the day. There we go. Thank you
:27:42. > :27:47.Ian. This is where we say goodbyd. You're
:27:48. > :27:48.back later. Yes, I'm back in the Ten O'Clock News. Until then, goodbye.
