:02:50. > :02:54.are going to fly the Paris to Dakar Rally route
:02:55. > :02:57.in a microlight. If they make it, they'll
:02:58. > :02:59.set a new world record. Here's our Wiltshire
:03:00. > :03:04.Reporter Will Glennon. They regularly are seen
:03:05. > :03:06.in the skies over the West, but how about flying thousands
:03:07. > :03:11.of miles in a microlight? Julian is an instructor
:03:12. > :03:14.at Membury Airfield and his partner is Sarah, known as Jez,
:03:15. > :03:20.also a qualified pilot. They want to take on the Paris
:03:21. > :03:26.to Dakar Rally route. It is going to take us to parts
:03:27. > :03:31.of the world we have never been to and it will stretch our flying
:03:32. > :03:34.experience into new ways. Microlights look like small planes,
:03:35. > :03:36.but the wings are essentially made of thick fabric,
:03:37. > :03:39.the panels are extremely thin The couple will take off
:03:40. > :03:49.from Wiltshire, flying down through France and Spain and then
:03:50. > :03:52.across to Africa, to Morocco, western Sahara and Mauritania
:03:53. > :03:56.to Dakar in Senegal. The terrain will be
:03:57. > :03:58.remote and inhospitable It is called the Skeleton Coast,

:04:06. > :04:07.straight into the Atlantic Ocean We are a very long
:04:08. > :04:12.way away from help. There's really not much
:04:13. > :04:18.between you and the outside world. Microlights do not have
:04:19. > :04:19.complex instruments, Bad weather, even the cloud
:04:20. > :04:27.can force you down. This is a little cockleshell
:04:28. > :04:30.of a plane and if that changes, if it gets windier or it looks
:04:31. > :04:33.like there might be rain to content with, we effectively
:04:34. > :04:35.have to fly around it, Julian and Jezz hope to raise money
:04:36. > :04:42.for the charity WaterAid but before that they still need about ?10,000
:04:43. > :04:46.in sponsorship to cover costs. They are hoping to set off
:04:47. > :04:50.sometime next spring. Will Glennon, BBC

:05:05. > :05:17.approaches, keepers at Bristol Zoo have been busy counting
:05:18. > :05:18.all the animals. The annual census
:05:19. > :05:20.revealed they have 14,200 One of the biggest challenges was
:05:21. > :05:25.working out what's in the aquarium! The count helps the zoo keep
:05:26. > :05:27.track of species that Well, the keepers know their animals
:05:28. > :05:36.very well and for animals like meerkats, we know we have got
:05:37. > :05:38.ten animals in here, and it is something
:05:39. > :05:42.that is easy to do. Seven gorillas, three pygmy hippos,
:05:43. > :05:45.but when it comes to big colonies of leaf-cutter ants or spiny mice,
:05:46. > :05:47.something like that, or bees or something, then of course
:05:48. > :05:54.it is much more difficult. To help stay on top of things

:05:58. > :06:12.forecast now with Ian. Thank you. Met Office provisional

:06:19. > :06:23.UK going back to 1910. We will start 2017 on a decidedly cold note, but
:06:24. > :06:27.prior to them, through the course of tomorrow, it will be a fairly mild
:06:28. > :06:31.day, it is looking dry or thereabouts but by the time we get
:06:32. > :06:34.to midnight and into New Year's Day, there might be some rain around but
:06:35. > :06:44.most of the rain will arrive in the early hours and it is behind that
:06:45. > :06:47.that we find colder air appearing from the North, quite quickly. Here
:06:48. > :06:49.is a wider look at how the story unfolds. A warning for fall, not as
:06:50. > :06:52.extensive as this morning. You will notice the cold front running
:06:53. > :06:56.southwards, through late tomorrow night and in comes the colder air
:06:57. > :07:00.which we can trace all the way back up to the Arctic Circle. For
:07:01. > :07:08.tonight, temperatures should remain frost free. There will be fog
:07:09. > :07:11.around, quite dense in places, watch out for that tomorrow morning,
:07:12. > :07:15.particularly in parts of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. When that
:07:16. > :07:19.clears, we will have generally a lot of cloud, some brighter spells, it
:07:20. > :07:23.will remain dry in the South West until we get laid into the evening,
:07:24. > :07:30.approaching midnight, in comes the cold front. -- late into the
:07:31. > :07:36.evening. Most of the rain holding off until the early hours of Sunday.
:07:37. > :07:40.Temperatures will be fairly mild, between nine and 10 degrees, but
:07:41. > :07:44.watch the change as we head into New Year's Day and I think it will be
:07:45. > :07:46.even colder as we head into Monday. That visit from me.
:07:47. > :07:49.I'm back with an update in the late news.
:07:50. > :08:15.Good evening, fog has been a problem in recent days, slow changes over
:08:16. > :08:20.the next 48 hours or so as this weather front moves south bringing
:08:21. > :08:21.rain and behind it, much cleaner, cold arctic air which will sweep
