BBC website. That's all from the BBC News at Six. It's goodbye from me. | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
On BBC One Welcome to BBC Points West | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
with David Garmston and Alex Lovell. Our main story tonight: The elderly | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
people being ripped off. They're losing so much money that | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
some will no longer be able They go on to a list and their data | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
is sold all round the criminal Our other headlines tonight: The two | :00:12. | :00:30. | |
sisters diagnosed with cancer A wheelchair - designed | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
in the west - is named as one And it's all in the beat - | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
a heart warming start to Christmas - with a new charity single | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
from a cardiologist. Trading standards officers | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
are warning that the state may end up picking the bill to look | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
after more and more people in their old age, | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
because they're losing their life The victims are often | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
elderly, and are vulnerable to fraudsters who target those | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
who are isolated and lonely. Raymond Rose is a full-time carer | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
for his disabled wife - The letters promise him | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
lottery draws and prizes. So Raymond has sent, | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
and lost, more than ?3,000 - It's brought me down a lot because, | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
with the small amount of money that we get, | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
we really can't afford it. So, what's that, | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
there's probably about Yes, that's one man's mail | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
over a two-month period. A typical case - but just | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
the tip of the iceberg. The concern for us is that because | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
people are ashamed and embarrassed when they realise they have been | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
scammed, they are very unlikely to report and they will go to huge | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
effort to not tell their What sums of money have you seen | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
that have been lost? Anything from a few hundred | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
pounds to a few thousand. And in the worst-case | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
scenario, ?150,000. All this has a massive impact | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
on the victims and their ability to look after themselves | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
in old age. You see depression, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
you see a lack of trust You see people change | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
their mind as to whether they want to live alone any | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
more, and independent any more. So you find that our older residents | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
are more likely to go into a nursing The people who could fund | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
their care have lost their money to scammers | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
who are abroad, and now the state They do often have | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
certain characteristics of being elderly, sometimes living | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
alone, isolated, looking for And these unscrupulous | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
fraudsters will absolutely target these individuals, | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
as they feel that's where they get Stopping scams at source is very | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
difficult, so tackling the root problems of social isolation | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
and loneliness is the priority. This English language class is one | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
of 50 projects in Bristol running When people are more | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
socially isolated, they have fewer social contacts, | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
they are a lot more vulnerable. If people improve their | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
well-being, they are less likely to be targeted by scams, | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
and especially something where somebody's improving their language | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
skills and their communication - But speaking out means | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
others might not fall victim to a problem that, | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
in the end, affects us all. A little earlier I spoke to | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
Clare Jackson from Citizens Advice. I began by asking her how big | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
a problem these types of scams are. Scanning in general has become | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
really widespread and it's becoming increasingly widespread | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
actually I'd say. I think in the first part of 2016, | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
the first six months, there were over one million recorded | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
incidents of financial scams. That's the trouble, | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
as well, it's the recorded ones against the ones | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
that aren't, isn't it? Numbers are increasing, | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
could that possibly be encouraging, that people | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
are talking about it? I think that's one of our key | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
messages, is touring courage people So much of what stops people | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
from talking about it is the shame, the victim blaming, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
the feeling really gullible and really silly, because there is this | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
pervasive idea that you have to be foolish or gullible to fall | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
for a scan when, in fact, you don't. And also they are becoming | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
so sophisticated now that actually even people | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
who are pretty savvy do not realise they are being scammed, | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
so we really have to But where is the line, | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
where do we draw the line that you don't know whether you're | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
talking to your bank or talking to a company | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
the phone, how do we try to unravel that? | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
There's a couple of key things to look out for, and I think one of | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
those is anything that is unsolicited. | :05:22. | :05:22. | |
If you are not expecting to hear from your bank, if | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
you are not expecting a call from a company, then those should | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
immediately make you a little bit suspicious. | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
And I think in those situations it is always find to | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
check if it is a legitimate phone call, if it is a legitimate company | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
trying to get in touch with you, they won't mind. | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
I suppose sometimes they play on this feeling of panic, | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
"Your account's been hacked" or this has | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
happened in your bank, so you are so keen to sort it | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
out very quickly this is where the problem comes. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
So I guess we have to remind people to | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Sometimes in the moment when you are under pressure it is so | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
easy to just fall into that trap, and that emotional manipulation is | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
definitely a key tactic that a lot of scammers use. | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
They will either make you scared or they will make | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
you feel like you have a very limited amount of time to maybe | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
respond to something in order to win a prize. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
So giving you time limits and trying to pressure you into a quick | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
And, just to reassure any elderly viewers who do feel embarrassed | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
about this, as we are saying, it is across the board. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
I've been scammed, lots of people have, so it's good to | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
That's one of the things that we want to do is just to get the | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
We found that loneliness and isolation and not | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
having anyone to speak to about these things just makes | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
The jury in the trial of three men over a fatal tipper truck | :06:45. | :07:04. | |
crash in Bath has retired to consider its verdict. | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
Four people died after being hit by the 30 tonne vehicle on a steep | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
hill in Lansdown Lane, in February last year. | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
The driver Phillip Potter, the owner Matthew Gordon | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
and mechanic Peter Wood, who are all from Wiltshire, | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
Drivers faced long delays on the M4 in Wiltshire this morning | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
after a fire involving a car carrying gas cannisters. | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
The road was closed for more than two hours between Bath | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
and Chippenham, while fire crews were at the scene. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
The police say they're "no closer" to finding out who murdered | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
a former Bath conman - and that thousands of people had | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
John "Goldfinger" Palmer was shot six times in the chest in his garden | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
Officers today told the inquest into his death | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
that he was the victim of a "contract-style" killing. | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Gareth George was at the hearing in Chelmsford. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
John Palmer, AKA Goldfinger. He got the rumour amidst rumours heat | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
melted down Gold billiard bullion after a heist, but speaking in | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
Tenerife he denied having anything to do with it. I'm completely | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
innocent of anything to do with this so called bullion ride. I know | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
nothing of it. In June last year, shortly after these pictures were | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
taken, he was shot six times at his home in Essex. Four days people did | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
not realise he had been murdered, thinking he had died as a result of | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
gall bladder surgery. They have since risen apologised for the | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
mistake. Today the coroner concluded he had been unlawfully killed. There | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
was only one member of his family present at the inquest and that was | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
the partner of John Palmer's daughter. He is seen here on the | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
right leaving the hearing with the Detective chief inspector. The iced | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
DCI Jennings gave evidence and said the investigation was ongoing. One | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
problem the police have is the sheer number of people who might have had | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
a motive to kill Palmer. There were listed up to anything up to and | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
above 16,000 victims. That means they could be 16,000 reasons he was | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
killed just in relation to that. And we know the number of people | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
involved in the crime taking place is also a consideration. And another | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
possible involvement? We know he had associated people with the Hatton | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Garden crime. Police say someone involved in the criminal underworld | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
and who killed John Palmer and after today's inquest officers renewed | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
therapy for anyone with information to come forward. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
You're watching Points West - thanks for joining us this Tuesday | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
The design changing lives, and taking its place | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
And we have some light rain on the way tonight and some heavier rain | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
later. First, though, two sisters from | :10:33. | :10:42. | |
Wiltshire say they are grateful to be alive this Christmas after being | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
told they had breast cancer just three weeks apart. Amy was 35 when | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
she was diagnosed. That made her older sister Kate examine herself | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
and discover a cancerous lump. I've got my CT scan | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
on the 11th of January, And we stayed in the | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
same ward as well. And it all happened | :11:01. | :11:10. | |
three weeks apart. A few weeks before last | :11:11. | :11:11. | |
Christmas, these two sisters To hear one family member has got | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
cancer is one thing. To hear, three weeks later, | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
a second one has it is Kate Evans and younger sister Amy | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
both discovered lumps, both diagnosed with cancer | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
and told there was no underlying genetic cause, | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
it was just coincidence. They gave me a diagnosis | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
on the 30th of November, last year, of I think it was stage | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
two breast cancer, is that right? That's right. | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
Stage two, stage two. I'm not very good | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
with all the numbers. And it hit me like | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
a tonne of bricks. Six days later, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
I was lying in bed, it was a Sunday night, I was lying | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
in bed about 2am, couldn't sleep, and I turned over in bed | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
onto my left side, and I caught myself and | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
thought, oh, something's sore. So I thought, just have a quick | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
feel, see what's there. So I went in - mammogram | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
by 9:30am, ultrasound by 9:40am and I was told | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
I had cancer by 9:50am. I think that was the bizarre thing, | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
that two of us with cancer, under the age of 50, is, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
you know, quite unusual. So it couldn't possibly | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
happen to both of us. Kate and Amy are helping | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
to raise awareness this Christmas, as Cancer Research UK | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
launches a new campaign highlighting I sort of always felt | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
that any sort of I sort of always felt | :12:41. | :12:50. | |
that Amy sort of saved my life, really, | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
because if Amy hadn't had the cancer diagnosis I probably would never | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
have found my lump. So I'm here now, today, | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
because she had a cancer diagnosis. Cancer came as a double blow | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
to Kate had Amy's families. But it meant that, | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
throughout their ordeal, they always had each | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
other for support. I am just so grateful | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
that we are still here this Last Christmas we both | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
thought that maybe this Christmas we wouldn't | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
be here to see it. So it's wonderful news | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
that we're still here. The Government is being warned that | :13:19. | :13:36. | |
Brexit could harm universities in Bristol and Bath and the local | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
economy. Universities and some MPs say they're worried it could deter | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
European students and academics from coming here. The MP for Bath is | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
worried that a clamp-down on immigration could mean fewer | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
students spending money in the city. What we have to be careful of is | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
suggesting that to the public that all immigration is a bad thing. 75% | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
of the public believe that international students are a very | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
good thing. So we need to split them from the overall immigration figures | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
and extend better to the public what immigration looks likes because | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
otherwise we lose the opportunity. This issue was raised during a | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
debate in the Commons yesterday with the Government saying it has no | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
plans to cap the number of international students. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
A Gloucestershire conservationist has been at Downing Street today | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
armed with a petition. She was dubbed the human swan after flying | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
more than 4000 miles from Russia to Slimbridge in a para- motor, | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
following migrating swans. She wants the Government to do more to protect | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
the species. A wheelchair invented by a North | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
Somerset 's charity to help people in developing countries has been | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
recognised up one of the UK's best inventions. 20 years after being set | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
up, Motivation has been seen as has seen one of its models added to the | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
design Museum in London. David Charity has helped tens | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
of thousands of people around the But it all began when his own | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
life changed for ever. When I was 201I had | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
a diving accident when I dived into a shallow pool of water | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
in Australia and broke my neck which left me paralysed from | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
the shoulders down. With no hand function | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
and ability to walk. And so, from that day, | :15:18. | :15:18. | |
I needed to use a wheelchair. The old chrome wheelchair | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
was designed in 1932 and they were still | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
handing them out in 1982. And we see this all | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
the time in developing People are given a one size fits | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
all solution that swamps them. You see the wheelchair | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
before you see the person. He and a friend spent six months | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
in Bangladesh producing a From Bangladesh to Backwell in | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
Somerset. In 1991, he set up | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
the charity motivation. In 1991, he set up | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
the charity Motivation. So it is again, three wheelers | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
to get over rough to rain, but it's made of cheap you steal | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
tubular steel, it's repairable The chairs are flat packed, | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
making it cheaper to ship them, but staff also visit the countries | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
to make it easier to fit them. Josie has just returned | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
from Tanzania. Lots of houses have not been | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
modified for wheelchair users so But also the stigma | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
and discrimination against people with disabilities | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
is extremely high, so unfortunately there are lots of people actually | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
trapped in their homes, unable to And, back in the UK, | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
their work is being recognised. The Design Museum has just opened | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
in London and displays the best inventions | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
from across the centuries. Among them one of | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
Motivation's chairs. I never thought this | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
would happen when we But it's a very proud | :16:45. | :16:45. | |
moment for all of us. A lot of team effort, | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
and great staff and great partners. As he looks back on 25 years, | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
the charity is also looking forward, developing chairs for different | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
activities and areas, allowing thousands more the powerful | :16:59. | :17:08. | |
freedom of movement. By now you've probably | :17:09. | :17:23. | |
got your Christmas tree up, having spent a frustrating day | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
untangling the lights When I was a boy we used to have | :17:26. | :17:39. | |
tapped ten or 20 lights. Now we have 400. | :17:40. | :17:40. | |
Imagine having to set up one of the largest displays in the West. | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
For years the Brailsford family lights in Bristol have | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
captured the city's imagination of the city, so how does this | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
I don't know about you but I'm a little underwhelmed. It's a nice | :17:56. | :18:04. | |
tree but they must have had some cutbacks. Oh... There's a plunger | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
here. I know this is live, but do I push it? It would not be complete | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
without a plunger. No, don't! Hurray! That is more like it. That | :18:15. | :18:26. | |
is watched 200,000 light bulbs look like. And when they turned on for | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
real here at the beginning of December there were 200,000 people | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
in the streets of this place to see it. The man who has to take it up | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
and down all each year is Lee. I have had some rumours this year that | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
this is the last one? No. It's just a rumour. They will happen every | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
year until I am too old to do it. They will be here every year. You | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
must get asked this a lot, but why do you do it? We just love it, for | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
people who come and see it but we are also running an appeal, we are | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
on ?41,000 and we are hoping to get to the ?50,000 total this year. I'm | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
sure with the hope of all our supporters and visitors we will hit | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
the target. Does it ever get to the point around September that you | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
think, oh, no, I have to get it all out again! I start to have funny | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
dreams about it and things not working. But in all fairness, I do | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
look forward to doing it every year and getting the lights out. I | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
understand this year was a record? Yes, we did it in ten days. It | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
usually takes about 12 to 14 days. The weather was kind to us so we | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
rammed it. It is not just us in Bristol who are feeling festive | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
tonight. It is less than a week now until we find out who has won the | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
Christmas number one slot this year. It could be a surgeon and a special | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
nurse from the hospital in Swindon. # A long time ago on a cold winter | :19:57. | :20:10. | |
's night #. This doctor is a cardiologist and | :20:11. | :20:23. | |
one of his specialist heart nurses is joining him. It is called Yahweh | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
Christmas chair. When I wrote the song 18 months ago and I didn't have | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
enough confidence to produce it last year. Eventually I played it to | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Harriet, it comes from my heart, it is my song and I wanted to convey | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
the true meaning of Christmas to all. They are supported by children | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
of the ward staff members and money raised will be split between the | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
British Heart Foundation and Swindon's own Brighter Futures | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
radiotherapy. I think it was brilliant. I liked how he played | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
guitar and it was very good. I think it's really good that they did it | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
for charity. The song is available as a download from the Internet and | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
it is doing pretty well. It is already featuring in some charts. It | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
is a time for giving, and for doing things for other people. So it is | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
the perfect time to do something for charity. I am not used to singing | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
without colleagues so I am not -- and I am not a born performer but it | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
is great fun. Their day job is on the cardiac ward. They are involved | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
in diagnosis, consultation and operations and know how important | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
health care is. With less than one week to go they might not make | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Christmas number one but if the money this song raises helps towards | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
a new cancer treatment centre compact, that will be their | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Christmas wish come true. And a worthy wish indeed. Ian is on | :22:04. | :22:20. | |
the roof, with the weather. Comparatively chilly, nothing too | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
bad. Let me take you through the forecast into tomorrow. We will find | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
some rain developing during the course of late this evening tonight. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
Nothing particularly heavy. They will all be put fairly light. But as | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
that clears away, after drier and brighter weather, there will be the | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
risk of further rain developing and this time there is it is likely that | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
we'll be heavy. The change is on the way. That cold front pushing away | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
high-pressure out towards the east of us and we started to enter into a | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
much more mobile and vigorous regime of weather lasting up to the | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
Christmas period, not raining all the time but we do have the risk of | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
this ripple on the front giving us some heavy rain tomorrow afternoon. | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
For the rest of this evening, some of you have seen a few showers but | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
most areas are dry. Once the rain starts to arrive it will be fairly | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
light, the odd moderate burst, and fairly patchy in nature. That is its | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
position by about six or seven o'clock tomorrow morning. | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Temperatures dropping to two to five Celsius tonight. Tomorrow those in | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
the East may still wake up to light rain but it will quickly clear out. | :23:35. | :23:43. | |
Conversely, cloud and rain coming through the afternoon turning | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
heavier. All in all, a bit of a sandwich of a day. Into the evening | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
the start the skies start to clear and get into a dry setup and it be | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
chillier. Prior to then it will have been milder, getting up to about 10 | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
Celsius. As we head into Thursday it will be a Chilean night with perhaps | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
some frost and patches of fog. And this oscillating Pat and of | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
temperatures, as we get towards Friday we are looking at the | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
development of storm Barbra which will bring some wild weather to the | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
north-west of the British Isles by the tail end of Friday into the | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
morning of Christmas Eve. It will be windy with rain developing on | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
Friday. This is the outlook towards that period and we will keep you | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
up-to-date with the kit Christmas period itself. Thank you, Ian. | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
Now all this weekend we are getting you in the mood for Christmas and | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
tonight a choir is going to sing us out. They are made up of the staff | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
at great Western Hospital's trust. # Have yourself | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
a Merry Little Christmas # From now on our troubles will be | :25:06. | :25:31. | |
out of sight # Have yourself a merry | :25:32. | :25:46. | |
little Christmas # From now on our troubles | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
will be miles away # Here we are as in olden days, | :25:51. | :26:04. | |
happy golden days of yore # Faithful friends who are dear | :26:05. | :26:18. | |
# Through the years we all will be together | :26:19. | :26:30. | |
# Hang your shining star upon the highest bough | :26:31. | :26:43. | |
# And have yourself a merry little Christmas now | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
# Faithful friends who are dear to us | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
# Through the years we all will be together if the fates allow | :26:59. | :27:16. | |
# Hang your shining star upon the highest bough | :27:17. | :27:25. | |
# And have yourself a merry little Christmas now | :27:26. | :28:00. | |
You only grow old once, so you might as well enjoy it. | :28:01. | :28:04. |
