Good evening. so it's goodbye from me | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
A head teacher in Wiltshire is warning that his school is one | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
of hundreds in the West that are losing out under changes | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Class sizes will be increasing. Parents will see older textbooks and | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
fewer resources and some things never used to do, we won't be able | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
to. We will see the benefits from funding plans and who is losing out. | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
The Wiltshire couple murdered in the gun attack | :00:44. | :00:48. | |

A head teacher in Wiltshire is warning that his school is one | :01:02. | :01:15. | |
of hundreds in the West that are losing out under changes | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Tim Gilson from Marlborough School in Wiltshire says | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
But whilst some school are suffering under the changes, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Our political editor Paul Barltrop reports from Wiltshire. | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
After years of pleading for help, schools across the West hoped last | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
month's announcement would be the help they needed. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
But after looking in detail at the figures, many | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
For while overall nearly 900 schools across the region | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
will get more funding, 340 will get no increase. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
In fact, most will be worse off, including this one. | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
This school is officially outstanding. Raised by step, pop | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Europeans and facing a financial hit that has bunting ahead to go public. | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
-- that is prompting. It is important everyone understands they | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
will be locations. I have to say to parents that they will see class | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
sizes increasing, older textbooks, they will see fewer resources and | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
some things we used to do, we won't be able to do the same. Today, | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
parents suggested the letter from the school warning of cuts. The | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
Government's claim that an unfair funding system is being fixed rings | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
hollow. We are in the bottom of their 10% in | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
the country for funding. It seems incomprehensible. If something | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
should not be cut, it is education, especially a school like this, which | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
is doing very well. Teachers, especially at the school, | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
are so dedicated and passionate. I just think it is a real shame that | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
what they do is going to be compromised. Healing about maths | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
teaching at the Gloucester primary school, the shadowy Education | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Secretary. Teachers here and everywhere feel that the Government | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
has got its sums wrong. They are trying to hoodwinker parents. | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
Parents are not stupid. They concede and sells schools have the moment. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
The school here today are concerned that if they have more money cut | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
from their budget, it will impact on staffing levels and the ability to | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
provide some great resources that are seen in the school at the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
moment. Hoping to taste success, the Schools Minister. Each the secondary | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
school in Swindon, a bowler his skills will on average gain. But he | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
says the Government simply does not have the money to give more | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
everywhere. After every national formula change some will win and | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
some will lose. We have capped any losing school to 1.5% per year, 3% | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
in total. It is a fairer system that reflects more accurately the needs | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
of schools. The Government is standing firm. Despite the | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
controversy, the changes will be in by 2020. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Well, as you heard there, it's a mixed picture. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Some schools will get more from the new way | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
in which the funding will be calculated, but others fear | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
they'll lose out and have to make serious cuts. | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
Overall in Wiltshire, they'll be just over | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
?6 million a year better off, although as Paul explained, | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
that won't mean more money for every school. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
It's the same picture in Swindon, where in general, schools will be | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
more than ?3.5 million better off, although the local council is clear | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
that there'll be winners and losers there too. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
13 of its primary schools will get less money. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
South Gloucestershire schools are getting a similar | :04:48. | :04:48. | |
Somerset looks to gain the most overall with ?13 million more | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
available, with secondary schools there on average getting | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
In Dorset, the budget's going up overall by ?4.5 million, | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
but the council's told us that there, 15 primaries | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
and two secondaries will see their budgets cut. | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
In Gloucestershire, the overall budget is up | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
However, it's a very different outlook in Bristol. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
There, the council says it expects its schools to be | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
about ?2 million worse off - with primary schools losing | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Just looking at that list, it seems every area apart from Bristol has | :05:27. | :05:42. | |
more money. Yes, because broadly more money is | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
going into education. This new formula was meant to correct some of | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
the unfair aspects of the old formula, which had long been | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
complained about. But if you look at the bigger picture, what we have the | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
moment is more children going into schools, going through schools. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
Schools frankly after do more work. And we have rising costs. The pay of | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
teachers going up, pension contributions going up. The | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
apprenticeship levy going up for schools as well. The national living | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
wage coming in as well. School say that overall, a lot of things they | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
routinely do cost them more. Even those with a bit more money might | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
not feel better. In one of the skills you went to today, it was | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
built under the Private Finance Initiative. The cost fixed and they | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
cannot spend less, for example, on maintenance. You have his contract | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
and get nice new buildings but they are maintained and serviced and so | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
on. For instance, you cannot save a bit of money by not painting your | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
conscience or cleaning as much. Where can you save money but you | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
might things like teachers and textbooks, and that has an impact. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Schools in Swindon are under huge pressure to improve standards. How | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
can a manager with their settlement? Swindon did see something of a rise | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
but even then, a mixed picture. Some of the schools, I think 16 and total | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
will either have the same money or less than before. One of the reasons | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
the minister Wenger today is because of step, the inspectors, had been so | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
critical of the schools there a few weeks back. Local MPs are unhappy. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
Schools are unhappy. The minister came in today. He was unapologetic | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
but he did say that standards were starting to rise in Swindon and he | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
was encouraged by what he saw today. Briefly, Bristol has seen his budget | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
going down. Yes, urban schools generally getting less money. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Bristol was not one of the biggest funded and it is not one of the | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
biggest losers. An inquest into the deaths | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
of a Wiltshire couple who died in an attack on a Tunisian beach | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
resort has been told Eileen Swannack and her partner | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
John Welch were among 38 people killed when an Islamist gunman | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
targeted Sousse in June 2015. Our Wiltshire reporter Will Glennon | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
was at today's inquest Here today at the Tunisia inquest at | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
the Royal Courts of Justice, the court heard about John Welch and | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Eileen Swannack from Welch. John was 74 and Eileen was 73. They were on | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
holiday together and where on the beach outside their hotel in Sousse | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
on June 26 2015. A gunman went on the rampage, killing 30 people, | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
including 30 from the UK. -- 38 people, including 30. This computer | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
animation shows how the gunman left the hotel grounds, turned to his | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
right and shot Eileen and John. Sergeant Paul Griffiths was part of | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
the British police team that try to reconstruct what happened. Because | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
there were no British suspects, there has been no criminal | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
investigation. Today, Sergeant Griffiths confirmed that John was | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
found dead on the beach. He had been shot in the neck and chest. Eileen | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
had also been shot dead. Moving portraits were painted of John and | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Eileen. She has been described as full of energy, with a lust for | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
life. She loved Tunisia and this resort in particular. She was a | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
great-grandmother but had a real sense of fun and enjoyed | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
socialising. Scores of people turned out for her funeral in the village | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
of Biddestone in Wiltshire. John was also a great grandparent and a keen | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
sportsman. He was a healthy man who, it was said, had years of life left. | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
He was kind, caring, generous. He knew many people in the local area | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
and is greatly missed. The inquest will continue into next month as it | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
tries to establish exactly what happened in Tunisia. Whether proper | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
travel advice had been given to people beforehand and whether the | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
Government did actually believe that there was any risk of such an attack | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
taking place. Just before we move on, a quick | :10:18. | :10:30. | |
correction to our top story. We mentioned Marlborough School, but | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
that was incorrect. That was my mistake. | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
The family of a 24-year-old who's been missing for almost two weeks | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
say they just want him to get in touch. | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Deakon Wilkins, from Worle, disappeared on the 14th | :10:47. | :10:47. | |
of January after leaving a nightclub in Bristol. | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
The search for him continued today, as Andrew Plant reports. | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
We are outside Motion nightclub here in Bristol. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
That is the car park where, right now, police are meeting | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
What they are doing is organising what they are calling a more | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
thorough search of the local area to try to figure out what happened | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
to Deakon after he left the club here in the small hours 12 days ago. | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
But at exactly the same time, if you look through this hole | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
in the wall, you will see police teams over there using divers | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
to search the water, which is just a few metres away | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Deakon vanished after leaving the nightclub at 4.30am | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
His family and friends have spent 12 days desperate for news. | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
We have got 20, 30 people coming up today. | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
People we don't even know coming to help out, | :11:35. | :11:44. | |
through social media, to help try and find him | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Today, they walked different routes he could have taken. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Miriam taking a week off university to help search the streets | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Any kind of sign, just to get it out there so people know that | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
And if they know anything, to get in contact with us | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
Today, Deakon's family and friends searched along pathways and nearby | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
parks and handed out leaflets to the public, hoping someone | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
Meanwhile, police continued to search the water nearby | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
as the mystery of Deakon's disappearance goes on. | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
Alex and David with you, thanks for joining us. | :12:25. | :12:35. | |
Carol Vorderman leads campaigners to Downing Street demanding | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
a knighthood for the last British Dambuster, | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
Looking back 100 years to when a Gloucestershire village | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
That is still to come. First, an update for you. | :12:49. | :13:03. | |
Two University of Bristol students who've suffered racist abuse | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
on social media have today made an official complaint | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
Timi Ariyo and Tami Sotire handed over a file of evidence showing how | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
they've been targeted in offensive messages and a video | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
by a group of young men, including another student | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
They said they were pleased with how the meeting went. | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
Following the statement they made on the BBC the other day, I didn't | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
But the university is showing a lot of support and I think some good | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
We are looking to start disciplinary procedures quickly, | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
with the individual who is one of our students. | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
And we're also looking to work with other universities for other | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
The University of Bristol also says it's also looking at ways to make it | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
easier for students who are dealing with such abuse to come forward. | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
A secondary school in the Forest of Dean has shut its doors | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
until Monday because more than 150 students and staff are unwell. | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
In a letter to parents, the head of Dene Magna | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
says they are suffering from a sickness bug. | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
Professional cleaners are being brought in to sterilise the school. | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
The National Trust says it won't support plans for a park | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
The preferred location for the scheme, at Bathampton Meadows, | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
was approved by councillors last night, despite | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
The National Trust says it believes it will scar | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
Carol Vorderman and the Gulf War veteran John Nichol have taken | :14:32. | :14:41. | |
a petition to Downing Street to try again to get a knighthood | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
for the last surviving British Dambuster. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
George "Johnny" Johnson, from Bristol, who's 95, | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
which became famous for destroying some of Germany's dams | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
Johnny Johnson was one of 125,000 men who served under | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
None of them ever received even a campaign medal. | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
Then Johnny was snubbed in the New Year's Honours List. | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
If those other people deserve their awards, that's fine, | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
Today, Carol Vorderman and former Gulf War veteran | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
John Nichol marched on Downing Street - | :15:20. | :15:20. | |
with a brief stop outside Buckingham Palace - | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
to deliver a petition to knight Britain's last surviving Dambuster. | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
This is overnight. Overnight, yeah. | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
100 since we have walked from the park. | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
Tell me about your personal involvement with | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
He is representative of every single one | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
of those young men of Bomber Command. | :15:46. | :15:46. | |
People forget the level of the sacrifice. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
If you served in Bomber Command, there was almost a | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
50-50 chance that you would die during the war. | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
Half of the Royal Air Force has been killed. | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
Half of an army regiment has been killed. | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
Those figures now would bring down a government. | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
It would bring down a government if that | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
Back then, it was a simple fact of life. | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
After the war, the men of Bomber Command were held at arm's | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
There had been massive loss of life when they | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
But in the last three weeks, over a quarter of | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
a million people have signed a petition to recognise | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
Johnny Johnson and, by extension, all his comrades. | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
Johnny is pleased and the veterans | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
and their families are pleased that | :16:32. | :16:32. | |
attention has been given to them once again. | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
And I think it shows the depth of respect that we have both | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
for Johnny Johnson as an individual, but | :16:39. | :16:51. | |
also for who he fought with, and those he says that, | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
if he were offered a knighthood, he would accept on behalf of. | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
And those are the 55,573 men who died as a | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
One of the surprising things about today is | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
There is no march, it is just Carol | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
Yet this story has captured the imaginations of news | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
If public opinion carries any weight, Carol | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
hopes Johnny's name will be on the next Honours List in June. | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
A new report says the Bristol and Bath area is now leading | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
the country with their booming economy and seeing | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
That same report warns that many aren't feeling the benefits, | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
because there's also been a sharp increase in the cost of house prices | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
Robin Markwell is in Bristol for us this evening. | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
I am at the launch of this new report by the Resolution Foundation | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
here. The panel includes a Mayor of Bristol, just about to discuss the | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
findings. The news contained inside is bittersweet. Like London, the | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
economy in Bristol is doing very well indeed. Also like London, | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
Bristol is becoming a place where Bristolians cannot afford to live. | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
They will uses event tonight to Colin and new politicians here -- to | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
call on the new partition being elected here in May, the metro | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
Mayor, to do more. It's up, up and away | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
for Bristol's booming economy. Other cities still lag below | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
where they were before the financial crash but a report out today shows | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
Bristol soaring above them all. Only London has outpaced it in terms | :18:36. | :18:45. | |
of economic growth. From a living standards perspective, the | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
employment rate has kept rising and it is the highest in the country. | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
While the economy hots up, the housing market | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
For estate agents in the city, they've never had it so good. | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
We've seen an increase in prices of 10%, | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
New figures show the cost of renting across Bristol and Bath has soared - | :19:11. | :19:23. | |
up an average of ?100 a month in the last five years. | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Rising house prices also means it's harder for young people | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
In 2001 around seven in ten of 25 to 39 year olds | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
owned their own home here in the West. | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
Last year that figure had fallen to just over half. | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
For Angie Palmer - who lives in Bristol's Bedminster area - | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
This is the dining room. The kitchen is out there. Two-bedroom terrace | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
and it is 920 5p per month in rent. Leg-mac that is a lot. -- ?920 per | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
month in rent. She works as a graphic-designer | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
but it's still not enough to cover Demand for properties on her street | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
was so intense she took this place I have a good job, get my wage is | :20:06. | :20:15. | |
less than my rent. It is baffling but that is the situation and I am | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
not the only one in this situation. I live off tax credits. It is not | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
ideal and it is difficult. But it is how it is. | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
Politicians are all too aware of the scale of Bristol's housing | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
shortage and the new metro mayor elected this May is being urged | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
Without enough affordable housing in the city, | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
Bristol's economic successes could be short-lived. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
Earlier, we were talking about the sacrifices of the previous | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
generation. Johnny Johnson and Bomber Command. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
But the experiences of young men joining the army | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
made into a performance at the Bristol Old Vic. | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Their stories were collected by poet Owen Sheers, | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
whose book was so moving that it was made into a radio play. | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
The drama tells the story of three young men from Bristol. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
It is the story of their service but the story of their | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
It is about the aftermath of conflict, and really | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
How those concentric circles of damage can spread | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
from the individuals, through families, | :21:24. | :21:24. | |
The story looks at the physical and mental scars of war, | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
and the film rights for it have just been bought up. | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
The spacecraft which took Tim Peake to the International space station | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
and back has gone on display at London's Science Museum. | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
The Soyuz capsule, complete with scorch marks from re-entering | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
Earth's atmosphere, was unveiled by the man himself. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
The Wiltshire astronaut, who wants return to the space station soon, | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
said he hoped the display would inspire the public. | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
As he does. Gosh! That capsule would really | :22:01. | :22:10. | |
primitive, doesn't it? -- looks really primitive. | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
The extraordinary story of a Gloucestershire community | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
and its resident gorilla has been brought back to life in a new book. | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
The village archivist in Uley stumbled across pictures | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
of the gorilla, called John Daniel, which had been kept since the 1900s. | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
The gorilla, called John Daniel, or Johnny to his friends, became a | :22:24. | :22:37. | |
member of the village of Uley in the early 1900. He was bought from a | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
department store in London as a gift to Alice Cunningham who lived in the | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
village. She treated him like a human child. He had free reign. He | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
just loved the children. They loved him as well. His bet a lot of time | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
with the children. Also, he used to sit in the village green outside the | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
pub, hoping the folk would come out and give him a glass of cider. He | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
adored cider. He was a bit of a drinker? He was! In 1989, the BBC | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
made a documentary about him, complete with re-enactments and | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
memories. We treated him like he was one of us. The other difference was, | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
she was a gorilla and we were humans. When he lost his temper... | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
He would stomp is -- thump his hands. He would take your hand and | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
go to school with you. The teacher gave him a still to sit on and he | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
would sit with someone one day and another person the next. John Daniel | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
played with the children on this clean. But having cider at the local | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
pub was shot left. -- shoplift. He was sold to America. She thought he | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
would be for a home in America but she was diseased. He was going to a | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
circus. Bannerman Bailey's Circus. He just didn't cope with that at all | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
after life he had in Uley. Alice was ardently sent for in a new life in | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
America, but the guerrilla guide before she could reach. It was said | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
he died of a broken heart. The story is being told again thanks to | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
Margaret. We were lucky to have him and it is that the village on the | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
map again, hasn't it? Is that for real? It is so sad. I am | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
sad now. Who died of a broken heart? The | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
gorilla. Yes, died of a broken heart. I think | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
we should move on. I know... We will look at the weather for a pick-up. I | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
have to lift everyone's spirits now? Something much better in terms of | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
the weather story. Change on the way. I have heard words like roll | :25:03. | :25:12. | |
and bitter. -- raw. Some sunshine came through but with the winds, it | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
has felt very raw indeed. Change coming in the way of the stripe of | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
cloud to the West. And what is behind that as well. We will lose a | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
dominating high pressure that has been with us for the past few days | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
and see whether systems shifting in from the south and West. That starts | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
tomorrow afternoon. It is a slow process but eventually in the coming | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
days things are becoming that bit more unsettled. And with it, as you | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
might expect from the south-west, something a bit milder. There will | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
be spells of rain at times and that will continue to be quite breezy. | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
That change does not start until tomorrow afternoon. So, tonight, | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
we're looking at a pretty settled night of weather. You can see, | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
though, because we have blues to the north and east, already we are | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
starting to see something that little bit less cold nudging in from | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
the south and West. There is a bit of a spread in temperatures. We're | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
all quite close to freezing but probably, Gloucester and Wiltshire, | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
yes, subzero temperatures overnight, whereas just like the above towards | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
the south and West. Might see a flurry of snow but it is generally | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
dry. Might have some bargain and first thing tomorrow, though. A dry | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
start, brightness and fast. In the afternoon, that rain band suites in | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
from the South West and that will bring us the change. Temperatures | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
around three or four Celsius but as he got through tomorrow evening, | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
temperatures continue to lift. Up to 78 Celsius. That rain pushes on with | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
the milder air. -- seven or eight Celsius. For Saturday's cell, a | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
little dry weather around. You could pick up a shower. If you do, it is | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
more likely towards Gloucestershire. If we are trying to be clever about | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
it, the Bristol Channel. Temperatures knocking on the door of | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
double figures. I think we will see those double-figure is eventually on | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
Sunday, although eventually this low pressure brings more rain. You can | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
see frontal systems in from the south and West as we go through the | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
second after the weekend into next week. We can see the impact on the | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
temperatures here, back to double figures. | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
Good news. It has been boning freezing. A little bit more good | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
news. -- blooming freezing. George this one, who was said with | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
crossbows in the head, is now standing up, drinking on his own and | :27:38. | :27:47. | |
a bit better. The fund for his treatment is now ?5,000. -- | :27:48. | :27:49. |
