Welcome. Our main story, trapped in new friends. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Welcome. Our main story, trapped in the wrong body. A patient uses | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
social media to raise funds for private sex change treatment as the | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
NHS is overwhelmed by an increase in demand. I have a future now, whereas | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
before I didn't. I didn't see a future of me living as a woman. We | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
will be trying to find out why so many people are unhappy with their | :00:27. | :00:27. | |
gender. Our other headlines, Alan Shearer | :00:28. | :00:43. | |
lead to the celebrities sending good wishes to a footballer who has | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
suffered an accident at work. Sir Ranulph Fiennes abandons his | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
latest expedition after a back injury. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
And cooking up a treat. The Syrian refugees saying thank you to the | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
people of Bath. A man from Bristol says he feels | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
he's stuck in a woman's body after being forced to wait for NHS | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
treatment to change gender. There are now ten times more | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
referrals per month than a decade ago for the procedure and the health | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
service is struggling to cope In a moment, we will be speaking to | :01:13. | :01:25. | |
a charity that supports young people. | :01:26. | :01:26. | |
Our social affairs correspondent Fiona Lamdin has been to meet | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
This is a tight fabric vest which holds in my hips, because I have | :01:30. | :01:43. | |
quite wide hips, and it holds my breasts flat... | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
21-year-old Jay binds his body to flatten his chest and hips. | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
Born as a girl and called Jade, his female frame repluses him. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
Whenever I go to the toilet, I have to sit down, and in the shower I | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
have to see breasts that shouldn't be there. | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
What age did you know you were in the wrong body? | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
Nursery, reception, when I started noticing I liked playing with cars | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
and trucks. I knew I wanted to be a boy at that age. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
In this school prom photo, at aged nine, Jade was the only girl | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
I was teased a lot for looking different and... Yeah, just being | :02:21. | :02:32. | |
me, really. Secondary school, the bully got a bit more physical and a | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
lot more vocal, if that makes sense. That was one of your first days at | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
nursery... He's already tried | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
to take his own life. Figures show that half those | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
wanting to change sex So this is where I've lashed out at | :02:46. | :02:58. | |
being frustrated at myself and the situations I've found myself in. I | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
didn't want to hurt anyone so I lashed out at furniture and these | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
stores here. And I've broken the barristers a couple of times as | :03:09. | :03:09. | |
well. -- the stair banisters. I found it quite hard, especially | :03:10. | :03:25. | |
with the Jay and Jade, and he and she. I still have a few slip-ups now | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
and again. He registered for NHS | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
hormone therapy treatment, It's an 18-month wait | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
for an operation and he's still I feel like I'm in limbo, as it | :03:32. | :03:44. | |
were. I'm not a boy or girl. I'm still waiting to become a man. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Frustrated by the wait, he's now taken to social media | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
to try to crowdfund the money to go privately. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Jay is just one young person in the West waiting to change sex. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Males and females being treated on the NHS in our region | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
are referred to the West of England Specialist Gender | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
According to the clinic, ten years ago they had just | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Now that number has rocketed to 70 a month. | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
It then takes 18 months for a patient to go | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
from their first appointment to life-changing surgery. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
Joining us now is Susie Green, from the national transgender | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
charity Mermaids, which supports children and teenagers. | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
Thank you for joining us. What do you put this enormous increase in | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
referrals down to? I think it is raised awareness, to be fair. I | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
don't think it's necessarily that there are more transgender people | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
out there. I think more people are just coming forward and making their | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
wishes known because there is for acceptance and information out | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
there, and they are finding words, perhaps, to actually share what they | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
are feeling. That is a good sign, then, if there is an increase, as | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
you say, of awareness and maybe understanding? Yes, and much more | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
respectable -- respectful reporting. This has led to people feeling brave | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
enough to talk about something that they wouldn't have dared to a few | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
years ago. At four, your child told you gorge had made a mistake and | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
that he should have been a girl. -- told you that God had made a | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
mistake. How did you cope? To be fair, I saw signs before then that | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
she wasn't a typical little boy and I thought I had a very sensitive | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
little boy who was likely to be gay, so for me it was one of those light | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
bulb moments when she said that to me, when she said, you know, Mummy, | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
God has made a mistake, I should be a girl. And it made so much sense of | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
things that had happened up until that point, even before four years | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
old. And it was terrifying, quite honestly, to think what she might go | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
through. Most children are perfectly happy with their gender and some | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
aren't. So what do parents do, then? If their child is, for example, | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
showing gender confusion in some way towards their gender, at what point | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
do they look for help, or at what point does the parent think it is a | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
phase? It's very confusing, isn't it? There is a vast difference | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
between children being gender nonconforming, so for example, | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
playing with toys or dressing up in other clothes, and that's not an | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
issue. The children who would be considered to be gender varied are | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the ones who state very clearly, I'm not a girl, I'm a boy, or vice | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
versa, and those are the ones who will say this consistently, posted | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
-- persistently from a young age, and those are the ones that we would | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
suggest to parents that if they are happy when they are younger, you | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
don't need assistance, because no physical intervention is done until | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
after puberty begins to any of these young people, regardless, but if you | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
are having problems and your child is having problems and you need some | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
support, come to us, come to Mermaids, because we have a huge | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
group of parents who are going through the same thing or have | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
already done so, and if your child is approaching puberty, we would say | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
it would be a good idea to get into the NHS system, so that you are | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
already in the system and being seen, as puberty can cause massive | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
distress. There's lots of information on your website as well. | :07:38. | :07:38. | |
Thank you for joining us. A memorial service has taken place | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
for a woman who died Hundreds gathered to remember | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
the mother of two, Andraya Lyons, whose body was found in a property | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
on Drew Street last month. A man's been charged | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
with her murder. The former England footballer Alan | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
Shearer is the latest in a string of sporting celebrities to send | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
messages of support for a scaffolder from Swindon who suffered a severe | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
electric shock and nearly died. Jamie Mines lost both | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
his hands and a leg following the accident | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
five weeks ago. Now a fundraising campaign | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
is being helped along Hi, Jamie, I know you're | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
going through a very, very difficult time, | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
so I just wanted to say I'm thinking of you, | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
I wish you all the best, I've heard you're a tough'un | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
so I'm pretty sure you're This is to raise money | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
for Jamie Mines, who's had I know you've got the whole | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
of the South West football community behind you, | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
but on behalf of 5Live Sport and Match Of The Day 2, | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
we wish you all the very best. The support from the sporting world | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
for Jamie Mines just keeps coming. Over Christmas, he lost both | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
of his arms and one of his legs His presents are | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
still under the tree. His little twin daughters, | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
haven't seen him since. But friends say messages from some | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
of his idols are sure to raise his spirits, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
and raise money. I'm donating a signed pair of boxing | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
gloves and boxing shorts. I think we often think our heroes | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
or footballing legends, you know, you kind of put them on a pedestal, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
but for them to take the time and effort to send a message | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
to Jamie means a huge amount to him Jamie is still in intensive care | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
here at Southmead but he is awake and able to talk every | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
now and again. I spoke to his girlfriend today, | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
who understandably doesn't want to be in front of a camera | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
at the moment. But she said both she and Jamie | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
had been overwhelmed She said he's able to sit | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
on the edge of his bed to do exercises and that doctors had | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
started talking about skin She even said that on her last visit | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
here, Jamie had managed to hug ?67,000 has already been raised for | :09:58. | :10:15. | |
Jamie but his friends and family want to make that 100,000, and | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
eventually, to get him home to these two. It seems some of his heroes | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
feel the same. All the best with your recovery. Take it easy, don't | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
rush it. Good luck in the future. God bless. Isn't that great when | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
people rally round? And of course we send our best wishes as well. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
It is Wednesday evening and we are live on BBC One. Do stay with us. | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
We've got much more to bring you, including... | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
She is in a stable condition now but two days ago, Becky was trapped | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
upside down. We will be finding out how she was rescued. | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
And find out why this book is so special and why it is in Somerset. | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
The Somerset explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes has been forced | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
to abandon his attempt to climb one of the highest mountains | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
He's on his way home after being airlifted | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
from Mount Aconcagua suffering from severe back pain. | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
It was part of his charity challenge to conquer the highest | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
The moment the latest challenge ended in painful failure. | :11:27. | :11:37. | |
A helicopter had to be called to evacuate the 72-year-old | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
The whole challenge has plainly been a struggle. | :11:41. | :11:53. | |
But this is not a man that quits easily. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Are you warm enough? Yes. We are getting there. | :12:00. | :12:12. | |
The 72-year-old, who has battled cancer and heart attacks, | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
was raising money for Marie Curie, attempting a global challenge | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
to become the first man to climb the highest peaks on each continent | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
He was in sight of the summit of Aconcagua when he | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
He said he was disappointed and that his back started hurting. He was | :12:24. | :12:33. | |
only six hours away from the summit so it was quite frustrating. But he | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
needed to get down and get to a point where a helicopter could get | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
him and then bring him back to the mainland. It's an injury that he's | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
had before with his back, so he's keen to get home, get seen two and | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
just make sure there is no permanent damage. | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
Sir Ranulph has already crossed both Polar ice caps and reached | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
the summit of four mountains, the last, Mount Vinson, in December. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Well, Sir Ranulph says everything goes on hold until he's had his back | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
Only then he will decide whether to continue. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Commenting on his setback he said, I've learned that at my age | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
Incredible, though! And has still rate -- raised 300,000 plus! | :13:17. | :13:33. | |
Last year, five Syrian families were living here, | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
in atrocious conditions in refugee camps in Lebanon, before | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
they were brought to Bath and resettled under | :13:39. | :13:39. | |
To say thank you, they have organised a big fundraising meal to | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
say thank you to the city that welcomed them. We went to see | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
preparations. The smells of Syria recreated in | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
this cookery school in Bath. The interpreter tells me about one of | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
the things on the menu. She says it is a vegetarian Syrian dish and it's | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
very light, very delicious. It contains lentils, bulgur wheat, | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
onions, olive oil and salt and pepper. The family arrived here from | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
war-torn Syria from the refugee camps in Lebanon. Their one-year-old | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
son spent the first three months in hospital in Bristol because he was | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
so ill. Now he's making a great recovery. Living in the city means | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
life for them all has changed beyond recognition. So basically, she is | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
saying... She's very, very happy to be here and the support that she | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
found here in this city, it's amazing, and what she's doing today, | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
it's basically nothing compared to the support they've given her here, | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
and the food she is trying to make today, she wants to be delicious and | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
for everybody to have a taste of Syria through this food. This | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
morning, the kitchen is full of Syrian mums, children and willing | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
volunteers from Bath who's been helping the families navigate their | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
way through life in the city since they arrived last year. It's just | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
being there for them and knowing if they have a problem with their | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
electricity or something has gone a bit wrong in and out of hours moment | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
when perhaps the official agencies on there, we can just step in. We | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
just want to know they feel safe, that they found sanctuary here and | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
they can get on with their lives, because they've had a really, really | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
tough time. She is saying she's very happy. At the beginning it was | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
difficult for her. You know, they left their own country, their home. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
She used to cry a lot for them and it was difficult. But -- but the | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
people here are very supportive. She is very happy and her children are | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
good at school. Her son didn't study in Syria or Lebanon but he's | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
learning English very fast here. She feels there is no difference between | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
her, you, all the ladies here. And she feels the food, cooking | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
together, it helps her to get close to the local people here. Finally, | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
the dishes which have been prepared in kitchens across Bath arrived at | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
their destination. The money raised, new friends thanked and a promise of | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
more events to make this city feel like their new home. | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
The food looks rather delicious! And very healthy, actually. By the look | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
of it. Some good news tonight | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
for Bristol City. They now face a trip | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
to Premier League side Burnley in the next round of the FA Cup | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
after beating Fleetwood. Jamie Paterson scored | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
the only goal of the match Fans will now get to see their side | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
in the fourth round for only Work is underway to protect | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
the ancient statues The Romans, Julius Caesar, Claudius, | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
Hadrian and Constantine the Great are all having a careful spruce-up | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
to keep them looking their best. Tracey Miller has been to see them | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
getting their makeover. TLC for a statue that is over 100 | :17:08. | :17:23. | |
years old. The nose is really going, isn't it? Claudius is one of eight | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
statues standing around the world famous Roman baths. All of them have | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
been out in the elements. The rain, of course, is very slightly acidic, | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
which is not good for very soft Bath limestone, which is what these | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
statues are made of. There's always a risk of frost and things like | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
that. Because he has fine features, these are particularly vulnerable to | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
frost. But when you've also got great big lumps of moss like this, | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
you need an expert. So scaffolding has been put up to allow the | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
stonemasons to give them a clean. His nose has gone, he's a chinless | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
wonder at the moment! But that's all aesthetic. He looks the part. | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
Caesar, who stands next to Claudius, is a replacement for the original. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
He was shocked -- shoved into the baths by vandals almost 30 years | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
ago. Some people clambered over the terrace wall and gave him a push and | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
he fell into the bath! Obviously all the statues are now firmly die | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
walled in and it wouldn't be possible for that to happen again. | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
-- firmly locked in. Fixed in their place, these represent the most | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
famous Romans in the country's history. They will be cleaned and | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
given a protective coating against the weather this country is so | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
famous for! Sounds like a great idea! | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Now, this time last night, we showed you some dramatic pictures | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
of a horse which had to be rescued by the Fire Brigade after becoming | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
trapped upside down in between two buildings. | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
Tonight we've heard that 27-year-old Becky is making a good recovery. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Liz Beacon is at her stables in Dundry near Bristol. | :19:06. | :19:15. | |
Hello, how is she doing? She's doing really well. And let me just tell | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
you, it's all pretty calm here tonight, but that really wasn't the | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
case 48 hours ago, because Becky here had been out in the field and | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
got herself trapped in between a container and a retaining wall, and | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
she was somehow upside down, wedged in this fully tight spot. Now, | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Terry, you've owned Becky for most of her life. It must have been | :19:40. | :19:48. | |
awful. How did you hear she had got herself trapped? My mum came out the | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
house and heard a commotion and called me across to say what had | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
happened. I came racing across and found Becky upside down in a gap | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
about a metre by half a metre. So you called the vet and Fire Service | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
straightaway? Yes, because I knew we would need her to be sedated to get | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
her out. And when I called the Fire Brigade. Needed some help. The Fire | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
Brigade are here and Luke is here. The rescue animals all the time but | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
this must have been pretty unusual? Yes, we've rescued 17 sources -- 17 | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
horses in the last year but this was the most unusual because of the | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
location and upside down in quite a confined space. Talk us through what | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
you did. I think she was under general anaesthetic, sedated. What | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
did you do to get her out? We worked very closely with the horse owner to | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
form a plan to get her out. We have lots of equipment ourselves but on | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
this occasion, due to the location where we are, it's quite difficult | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
to get our own equipment in, so we used a handler and hovels, because | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
the horse was upside down, and then we were able to gently control and | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
lift up and move her a cross into the field. Forced her out and get | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
her back on her feet. Let's catch up with how she's doing. How is she? | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
She's great. We were really concerned when we started as she had | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
a grade four heart murmur, but we've done x-rays today and she's back on | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
track and she is pretty clear, and we are very, very lucky. Let me tell | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
you, Becky is 27! In human years that would put her in her 70s, so | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
this really has been quite an ordeal! But she's back on her food, | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
she's very happy and is surrounded by her horse friends, and I love | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
these two. These two donkeys. Very cross because they haven't had any | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
of the limelight! But we know Becky will make full recovery and she's | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
doing very well. And she's the right way up! Bless her! How did they do | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
that? Aren't we lucky to have the emergency services who can do that? | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
So no need for any long faces! Ha! Now, this is a picture | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
of a wonderful autograph book that used to belong to a nurse | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
in the First World War. Dozens of injured French, | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
British and Belgian soldiers drew pictures and left messages | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
for Violet Fountain, who cared Now, more than a century later, | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
it's been returned to her family, Violet's book is full | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
of touching letters. I wish you all the best things of | :22:22. | :22:33. | |
the world. Iris Simmons found it 40 years ago | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
and has treasured it since. She was really, really popular. Very | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
tender and caring to the men, and they really appreciated her. | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
But determined to return the book to Violet's family, | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Researchers found Violet's grandson, and they met for the first time. | :22:55. | :23:03. | |
I was just so pleased that somebody had gone to all that effort to track | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
me down, to let me have something that my long lost grandmother, who I | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
know virtually nothing about, to return to me, and export my | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
grandmother alive. -- and it has brought my grandmother alive. | :23:21. | :23:21. | |
Iris was living there when she found her book. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
Yet by chance, Iris and Mark now live within a few miles | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
They've discovered Violet's old home is also in Taunton - | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
I've lived all over the place and settled in this area, and didn't | :23:33. | :23:44. | |
even know this was on my doorstep! It's just been really good to find | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
all this out. She would be delighted, actually. Delighted that | :23:48. | :23:56. | |
firstly the book has been recovered by family and will be hopefully in | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
the family from now on. Violet died in 1972 | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
but her life's work lives Couldn't deny that calling into the | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
West, you see? Lovely! It's been announced today that 2016 | :24:03. | :24:17. | |
was the warmest year so far. Is this trend going | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
to continue tomorrow? Hello. Certainly the warmest since | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
1850, so that puts it in perspective, and if that -- in fact | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
2015, 2016 buying closely for that record, the last year being slightly | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
warmer than 2015. As we go into tomorrow, some beautiful sunset | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
photos sent in by many of you, including from Twitter. This was | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
taken earlier in the day in South Somerset and it shows this | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
delineation very nicely between the cloud and those seeing clear sky. As | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
we head into tomorrow, more of the balance shifting to the brighter, | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
sunny variety, with the cloud cover tending to get squashed further up | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
towards the North. High pressure dominates the pattern going forward | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
and it will shift slightly as we go through the next few days. But | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
broadly speaking, that means a lot of dry, settled weather with light | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
winds. At times that will bring the risk of some frost. You can see the | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
blue on the map as we had through tonight. For some into tomorrow | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
night as well at least. Given the fact we had generally less in the | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
way of cloud around, there will be a wider risk of frost but some areas | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
hovering just above freezing possibly by only a degree or two, as | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
you can see. Conversely, where we have clear skies, we could drop down | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
to -3 or -5, and that might not be the only spot following that | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
fashion. A cold start tomorrow and then through the course of the day, | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
more in the way of sunshine being signalled. Some areas of cloud, more | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
extensively up to the far north, maybe parts of Gloucestershire. Some | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
uncertainty on that. Then more cloud approaching from the East later in | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
the day. Temperatures around 5-7, so a similar pattern as we go into | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
Friday. I'm going to run out of things to say! | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
Never! You keep going! That's it from us for now. | :26:30. | :26:54. | |
Hello. I hope you're well. I really do. | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
Because if you're not, then chances are the NHS won't be able to | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
look after you as well as it should. And that's wrong. | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
Because the Labour Party created the NHS 70 years ago on | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
the founding principles of it being comprehensive, universal and free. | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
The NHS was created to care for us but now the NHS needs our care. | :27:15. | :27:20. |
