That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from me - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to BBC Points West with Amanda Parr and Sabet Choudhury | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The special school under threat. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Coln House in Gloucestershire could now be closed for good. | :00:11. | :00:27. | |
There are no children at Coln House. Now it has emembers of the juried | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
that the school faces closure. We speak to the wife | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
of Sergeant Al Blackman serving life Explorer David Hempleman-Ad`ms | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
returns from the Arctic with tales of disappearing sea ice | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
and everything's set for renewed rivalry at The Rec as Bristol run | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
out at Bath for the first The future of a special school | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
in Gloucestershire is in dotbt tonight after the council rdvealed | :00:53. | :01:09. | |
it's no longer financially viable. All the children at Coln Hotse | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
in Fairford were removed in the summer after concerns | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
were raised about pupil safdty. A consultation begins next week | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
with the council saying that the possible closure | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
of the school and the investigations into what went | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
on there are unconnected. Here's our Gloucestershire | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
reporter, Steve Knibbs. Even before Ofsted published | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
the results of its inspection earlier this year the counchl | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
was told of worrying concerns. Most notably a high number | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
of physical restraints being used on pupils and a failure | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
of the schools management As a result the County Council | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
stepped in and removed the pupils I understand the headteacher | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
and three non-teaching membdrs of staff have been suspended, | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
an interim head has been brought in as well as an interim bo`rd | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
of governors after the orighnal As to why the children were removed? | :01:59. | :02:13. | |
Very little is being made ptblic. I don't want to prejudice an on going | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
investigation. There are cldarly a number of concerns about chhldren's | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
safety. There were no alleg`tions made as far as I'm aware regarding | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
sexual abuse, I know that h`s been a rumour that's been going around I | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
want to Scotch that straightaway. The council says that demand for | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Coln House has dropped and they will not be able to keep it open. That | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
means the school will be making a crippling loss. By 2018, 2009 we | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
will have to find ?2.5 millhon to deal with the deficit. Unions say | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
they believe the council mishandled the removal of the pupils. Teachers | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
at Coln House are being givdn extra training and others are at | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
placements in other schools. The union accepts that the school won't | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
be able to stay open. Whilst we are saddened by the fact that it will | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
probably mean the loss of another school that's been popular. So the | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
needs of the community well, the case for the lack of financhal | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
viability is quite strong. @nd I think it is fair to say that having | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
talked to members, we're quhte resigned to the fact that the most | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
likely outcome is closure at some point next year. | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
All of the children removed from here in the summer | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
are now at other schools - it now seems increasingly lhkely | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
they'll become the last int`ke pupils to be taught at Coln House. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
It's emerged that a year seven pupil took a knife to school in Bristol. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
The item was confiscated from the girl who was seen with it | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Avon and Somerset Police ard currently holding a knife alnesty. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
There are secure bins across the area from Patchw`y | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
in South Gloucestershire to Taunton in Somerset. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
A man wanted in connection with a fraud case in Bath is now | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Mark Acklom, who is 43, is accused of disappearing | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
with more than three quarters of a million pounds. | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
The money was lent to him by a woman he was in | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Mr Acklom has now appeared on a list of ten most wanted Britons hn Spain. | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
There's been a fire at Bath's oldest department store. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Jolly's on Milsom Street had to be evacuated this afternoon. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Smoke could be seen inside the building and emergency | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
crews discovered the fire h`d started in a communal | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
stairwell in a residential part of the building. | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
It was extinguished by the sprinkler system. | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
Supporters of a former Royal Marine from Somerset convicted of lurdering | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
an Afghan insurgent say del`ys in reviewing his case | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Al Blackman, who held the rank of sergeant, | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
is serving a life sentence for the killing. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Those campaigning for his rdlease are planning a rally | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Our Somerset Correspondent Clinton Rogers has been speaking | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
For the past three Clares Clare Blackman has been campaigning to get | :05:03. | :05:23. | |
her husband out of prison. She was heartened when the Criminal Cases | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Review Commission decided to take a fresh look at his case, but that was | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
almost a year ago. We were lindful that, you know, it wasn't going to | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
be a quick process and we obviously want them to do a truly thorough job | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
of reviewing the case. We c`n't to have confidence in the decision when | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
they reach it. But that said, you know, this is another ten months | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
that Al is not home and the waiting is the hardest part. In 2013, former | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
sergeant Al Blackman became the first British servicemen to be | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
convicted of murder on the battlefield since the Second World | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
War. His life sentence was for shooting a wounded insurgent in | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Afghanistan. His action and his words leading up to it were captured | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
by helmetcam ras. His supporters who have verx | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
publicly campaigned for his release, this is the last time they took | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
their protest to the streets of London, say he has been harshly | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
treated for a moment of madness on the battlefield. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Among them, the best selling author Frederick Forsyth who is highly | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
critical of the body reviewhng the case. They were given flat | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
instructions that this was to be a level one, meaning immediatd, with | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
total urgency applied to it. Since then both the defending barrister, | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
he is one of the best defending barristers have been bewilddred by | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
the fact that they dawdled `nd dawdled. Very, very slowly passing | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
the documents from desk to desk and saying nothing. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Commission says the criticisms are unfair. It is treating the case as a | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
priority. But it is a compldx one with a large volume of written | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
argument to consider. One of the main platforms for an appeal now is | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
that the lesser charge of manslaughter on the grounds of | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
diminished responsibility w`s never considered at the original court | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
marshal. A decision on that, whenever it is, will determhne how | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
much longer the former Royal Marine will spend in Wiltshire's Erlestoke | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Prison. His wife says the c`mpaign to free him will continue. | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
It's Amanda and Sabet with you this Thursday evenhng. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
The team that brought us the fabulous Warhorse prdsents | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
a new puppet play with its roots firmly here in the West. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Yes, it's a big egg, but what on earth did | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
All will be revealed later in the programme. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
It's now only a matter of days before America | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
The contest is being followed especially closely | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
This evening a full house is expected for a lecture | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
by North East Somerset MP Jacob Rees Mogg - | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
who once said he would back the Republican candidate, | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
Let's join our political editor Paul Barltrop. | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
Well, people have been having their drinks and they are starting to come | :08:39. | :08:47. | |
in. The lecture starts in a few minutes time. 120 seats in this | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
venue. It sold out very fast indeed. Jacobries mooing is the draw. He is | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
talking about Britain in a post Brexit world building up tr`de with | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
the United States and of cotrse enormous interest in that US | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
Presidential election. Well, Jacob Rhys Mogg ruffled feathers when he | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
said if he was an American he would be voting Republican for drfrp, but | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
he changed his mind and he has been explaining why. | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
In the normal course of events I would vote for the Republhcan | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
candidate who happened to bd Donald Trump. | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
The tape recording that camd out was extremely disagreeable | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
and I would find it not possible to vote for somebody who had said | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
On the other hand I am not a Democrat so I would not bd voting | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
for Mrs Clinton and rather Feebly and uncharacteristically | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
Of course, we've had more allegations today from another woman | :09:39. | :09:54. | |
talking about what Donald Trump may or may not have done. Here with me | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
is the director of the Amerhcan Museum. How much interest do you | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
think there is this side of the Atlantic in what's going on back in | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
America? It used to be the case that people | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
would ask me all the time what's happening at the American Mtseum? | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
How is it faring? For the l`st 4 or 15 months I have only been `sked one | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
question - what do you make of Donald Trump? So there is enormous | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
interest, I think, in the election. Trump himself is a phenomenon. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Certainly his ascendancy to the nomination is unprecedented and I | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
think even though Hillary Clinton seems to be drawing ahead at this | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
point, and for many fairly obvious reasons, there still could be | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
surprises in the next three weeks. Briefly for you, as an Amerhcan | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
living over here, what do you think of it all? Well, I think it is | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
fascinating. I think that wdaring my director's hat, I can't say | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
anything, but wearing my own hat, so to speak, I hope that the bdst woman | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
wins! Richard, thank you very much. Of | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
course, 19 days to go. It whll be interesting to see what Jacob Rhys | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Mogg has to say about the United States and possible next prdsident | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
of it in his speech beginning here in a few minutes time. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
The Duchess of Cornwall has officially named the area ottside | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
Swindon's railway station after a famous engineer. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Sir Daniel Gooch Place celebrates the man who helped Brunel establish | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
His effort and ideas gave bhrth to the Swindon we know todax, | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
but he was responsible for so much more, as our Wiltshire Reporter | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
Arriving on one of the new GWR trains into the railway | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
The Duchess of Cornwall bringing royal approval for the man | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
Her Royal Highness named the square outside the stathon | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
as Sir Daniel Gooch Place. | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
I'm really pleased. It is a great honour to have Her Royal Highness | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
with us today. Swindon is a really important place in the history of | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Great Western Railway and it is great to celebrate that and | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
particularly celebrate the really important role of Sir Daniel Gooch | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
who isn't someone that the railway talks about as much as we should do. | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
A ceremony, a plaque a royal unveiling, Sir Daniel Gooch must | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
have been important and he was. The father of Swindon's rail works he | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
went on to become chairman of the GWR, an eng engineering and pioneer | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
and for 20 years an MP. Born in 1816, Gooch built | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
locomotives, employing thousands. It was thanks to him | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
the Severn Tunnel was compldted He was known to royalty but also | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
to thousands of ordinary people After unveiling the plaque Camilla | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
was shown extracts from the Gooch exhibition from the nearby | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Steam Museum, and a specially Daniel Gooch was the person who | :12:59. | :13:09. | |
brought the Great Western R`ilway to Swindon. He was very interested in | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Swindon and developing it and looking after the workers and the | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
community. He did a lot of benevolent work for the people of | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
Swindon. He was a great, grdat man. He was not a fuddy-duddy engineer, | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
he was an entrepreneur. He was a forward thinking man. He loved | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
engines. In his day Gooch's brilliance | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
was widely recognised, but over time, he faded | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
into Brunel's shadow. Maybe now the memory | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
of one our greatest Victori`ns The Transport Secretary Chrhs | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
Grayling has announced a multi-million pound motorway | :13:38. | :13:50. | |
improvement programme It includes work on the M4 | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
at junction 15 for Swindon ?5 million has been earmarkdd | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
for the project and ?750,000 is being committed to improvements | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
at the M5 junction 21 for Wdston. It has been confirmed that Radiohead | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
will headline Glastonbury ndxt year. Rumours that the band would return | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
to Worthy Farm began to circulate yesterday when the Radiohead logo | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
appeared in the grass It's now been made official that | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
they'll top the bill One of English rugby's biggdst | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
rivalries is rekindled tonight It's been seven years since the two | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
clubs met in a competitive fixture. This evening they're | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
playing at The Rec in the European Challenge Cup, | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
and our sports editor This might not have the importance | :14:43. | :14:43. | |
of a Premiership match, but these two clubs have wahted | :14:44. | :14:56. | |
so long to play each other `gain that there's a real appetitd | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
and excitement for the game. Their rivalry goes all the way back | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
to October 1888, 128 years `go and it's Bristol who have enjoyed | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
the more wins - 132 to Bath's 8 . It's almost neck-and-neck | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
here at the Rec Bath 50 wins But of course most of those games | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
came in the amateur era. Since rugby went profession`l Bath | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
have dominated here - This will be a special night | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
for Andy Robinson who played his entire career with Bath, | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
winning derbies and trophies. He still lives in the city too, | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
but these days he's Bristol's At least there shouldn't be too many | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
surprises for him tonight. When the boys walked down | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
from the hotel on Thursday They'll understand what it hs like | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
to play at a fantastic stadhum, but also iconic pitch reallx, | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
you know, to play and I think what we're all looking forw`rd | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
to is how we perform. Well, Markry Gan played for both of | :16:10. | :16:23. | |
the clubs down the years. M`rk, it is great to have the fixturd back on | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
the calendar, isn't? Yes. I played here in March 2009. A great | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
occasion. Andy has spoken about it. Not too serious, but they whll want | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
a huge win the the guys havdn't won here for a long timement thd | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
youngsters will want to put in a good performance. Would a whn mean | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
more to Bristol than Bath tonight? Ah, hugely. We played seven and lost | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
seven. Come to Bath, perforl here as well, a good objective, it hs | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
rekindled old friends and old foes together today. Old rivalrids and | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
leave here on a high and obviously the next objective will be to get a | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
good performance in ten days time and we can rest up and I look | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
forward to the premiership latch. Where the tackles that little bit | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
harder when you played Bath or Bristol whichever side you were on? | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
Yes, they were indeed. They are bigger, faster and stronger now and | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
the guys are physical and there is so many cameras around now ` days, | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
you play the game very fair. Not when I played! Who are you going for | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
tonight? Who is going to win it I think Bristol! You think Brhstol! | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
I'm there or thereabouts on the fence, but I would love to see | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
Bristol perform and play re`lly well go out and perform and put their | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
hands up for selection. Neither side are picking their first chohce team, | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
but Bath have included one of their cult heroes on the bench. It is his | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
final game before going back to Australia. Leroy Houston and they | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
are giving everyone one of these tonight, what do you reckon, an | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
improvement? STUDIO: No, Ali! A sea of Ldroys | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
will be exciting, won't it? The director and puppetry tdam | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
behind the massively successful Warhorse have created a new musical, | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
set in Bristol. It's based on a 19th | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
century Victor Hugo novel. It opens to the public | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
at the Bristol Old Vic tonight. Alice Bouverie's been | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
along to rehearsals. They're saying it's | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
a musical unlike any other. Tragedy, comedy, a love | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
story, even puppets. Whatever is happening internally or | :18:38. | :18:50. | |
whether he is trying to say something. The internal process | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
needs to be bigger. The play reunites Tom Morris, | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
the creative genius behind Warhorse, with two of the puppeteers | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
from the original production. We found a lot of understanding of | :18:57. | :19:09. | |
how to use puppets in Warhorse. Now we are starting with that | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
information and being able to programme it into the show from the | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
beginning. So that's great. All this year, the Bristol Old Vic | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
has been celebrating This musical, one of | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
the flagship productions. This theatre is 250 years old and it | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
is easy to think of it as a historical theatre, but the only | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
reason that it survived for 250 years is because it has alw`ys been | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
looking forward, it has alw`ys been inventing new kinds of theatre and | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
it has always been taking rhsks If we want to honour the history of | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
this place, we have to keep doing it. That's what we love doing and | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
that's what we will be doing with this show. | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
The music was written by two local composers. | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
An imaginary Stokes Croft in Bristol is the setting for the storx. | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
And one of the stars of the show is herself a Bristol girl. | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
I never done anything in Brhstol, performed here before. So to be part | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
of a huge celebration like this is such an honour. | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
And it is nice to represent Bristol and for Bristol to be sort of | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
pioneering and bringing out something new for the rest of the | :20:24. | :20:24. | |
country to see. Everyone hopes this show will make | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
it to the West End. The first British team | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
to circumnavigate the North Pole in a single season has returned | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
to the West. The yacht, Northabout, saildd back | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
into Bristol this morning, The crew including our | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
very own adventurer, David Hempleman-Adams are trying | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
to highlight what's happening A landscape very much on thd change | :20:50. | :21:03. | |
I guess? Yeah, the first tile I went out to the Arctic was in thd 80s and | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
it was very different of thd there was lots of ice. Thick ice `nd lots | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
of volume. Now, we went arotnd the north-east and the north-west | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
passage in one season which is unheard of. It is rather sad that | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
you've come back this quickly? Unbelievable. The north-west passage | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
we did in 14 days. Before that, it would take two or three seasons You | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
didn't know what you would face when you headed out there. What was going | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
through your mind at that point Well, the problem because it would | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
take me four years to get the expedition together and I ndver knew | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
if it was achievable. So I wasn t sure if this boat would be stuck | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
somewhere and over winter lhke the other teams that had tried. So at | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
back of my mind I was thinkhng, "How far will we get?" Once we got to | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
half-way around the north-e`st passage, then all the ice wdnt and | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
we had a really quick trip `round. Seeing that, and realising what that | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
meant... It was shocking. H`lfs it like? Shocking. The north-wdst | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
passage, there wasn't one bht of ice not enough ice for a gin and tonic. | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
It is extraordinary and it hs scary as well. It will impact on ts | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
eventually and we just seem to hide from it. | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
You can hide from it, but the consequences are going to bd really | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
terrible, isn't it? Absolutdly. Things are changing so quickly. In | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
my lifetime to see so much change. Is there any way back? The | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
scientists say there is a thpping point and in 20 years time, there | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
won't be any ice at all the North Pole during the summer and ht will | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
have dire con qens of coursd. What do you want to achieve from here? It | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
is a very visual thing. It hs a huge achievement for you guys to have | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
done this. And obviously, everybody has been watching you. What would | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
you like to happen next? Thd only reason I actually did it, it was | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
nice to do the adventure, btt the main thing was awareness. Wd set-up | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
a charity called Wicked Weather Watch, this is for youngsters, they | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
can log on and find out mord about it. It is about the science and | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
actually see what is happenhng. We are going to keep the boat hn | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
Bristol and put on an exhibhtion so schoolchildren or schools c`n come | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
down and visit and they can make up their own mind because my | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
generation, we've messed it up and unfortunately, these youngsters have | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
inherited it. One of the advantages of your crew, I remember, when you | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
set off, you have a very yotng crew member as well, Ben? Yeah. How did | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
he get on? Well, Ben started off in Bristol. Went around the whole route | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
and this poor lad, he had to put up with some grumpy old men! Hd's 4? | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
14. He went out a boy and c`me back a young man. He was an extr`ordinary | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
to put up with it. But I thought it was very important rather than me | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
sort of banging on, I thought it was important that his peer grotp, his | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
age grourngs he blogged on `ldaily basis so he could put his vhews | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
across to that generation which was very important. | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
David, it has been amazing to talk about this subject. Stay with us, | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
because you have seen extrory things in your life, but I want yot to take | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
a look at this! A little earlier we showed | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
you pictures of a very big dgg. It was laid on New Macdonalds Farm | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
in Box in Wiltshire. But take a look at what happened | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
when they cracked it. Yes, inside there was, | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
in fact, another egg Have you seen anything like that? I | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
have seen a few things, but never saw that. How did that happdn? | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Apparently it is not completely tun heard of and we have had messages | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
from people on Facebook who have had an egg within an egg. Hello both. | :25:06. | :25:18. | |
Just returning to what David was saying about the sea ice, this is | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
something we keep a close on at this time of year in terms of looking | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
towards the seasonal forecast into winter. It may seem | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
counter-intuitive, but we know through research when we get | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
exceptionally low amounts of sea ice this actually can have an effect as | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
we look into the winter in loading the dice in a colder winter for our | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
neck of the woods. At the moment we have low sea ice in that arda. It is | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
one that we are keeping abrdast of. We will keep you updated on the | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
winter thoughts as we get into November. Let's talk about something | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
chilly closer to the current time because it will be a cold nhght We | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
will be under a ridge of high pressure. That means that there is | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
the risk of fog around as wdll. But once we clear that out of the way | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
tomorrow, we should be in for a pleasant enough day. Varying amounts | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
of cloud and sunshine and lhght winds and dry. A wider look at | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
things shows the access of the ridge of high pressure across the top of | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
us, hence a greater risk colpared to recent nights of frost and fog and | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
as we run through into tomorrow we continue with this benign p`ttern | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
and it will be set as we he`d into the weekend turning breezy `nd more | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
particularly so as we get through into Sunday. There had been showers | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
running in from the north. The forecast model deficient on those. | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
We could catch a few of those into Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. But a | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
temporary phase. Through tonight, a good deal of clear sky around. | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
Decent for those of you watching for the meteor shower. But also decent | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
conditions to get some fog forming and some of those could be dense | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
patches where we get them and equally some parts of the | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
countryside could see frost unsuppliesingly with air | :27:06. | :27:07. | |
temperatures as low as two or three Celsius for some. Now I would | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
caution where we have patchds of fog, this isn't just for thd West | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
Country, it could be further on your travels, it could take to mhd-or | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
late morning. But once that process is complete, all of us seeing a | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
decent day and varying amounts of sunshine, light winds, not dxpecting | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
any showers through the course of tomorrow. Temperatures in a range of | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
11 to 13 Celsius. Saturday looking dry. Varying amounts of clotd. The | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
breeze picking up towards the end of the day. There we go. Thank you | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
Ian. This is where we say goodbyd. You're | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
back later. Yes, I'm back in the Ten O'Clock News. Until then, goodbye. | :27:48. | :27:48. |
