:06:13. > :06:16.discussion. They voted through the budget, 100 jobs will go. Year at
:06:17. > :06:19.Bristol, a meeting began this afternoon and it will go on a lot
:06:20. > :06:25.longer. It is much more controversial. The cuts are much
:06:26. > :06:29.bigger. Many millions of pounds in next four years and there have been
:06:30. > :06:33.protests. In the council chamber earlier, there was heckling from the

:06:39. > :06:43.rejected those causing difficulties. -- the disruption. In the run-up to
:06:44. > :06:47.this council meeting, there were protests about possible targets for
:06:48. > :06:50.cuts. This swimming pool in the south of the city so people gathered
:06:51. > :06:58.outside at the weekend, upset that I could lose some of the subsidy and
:06:59. > :07:02.beef or -- and be forced to close. People explained why it is
:07:03. > :07:06.important. It is an important committee resource. If it goes, it
:07:07. > :07:11.would be a real problem for lots of young people and old people. It does
:07:12. > :07:15.not make sense to me. It seems like such a busy swimming pool. The
:07:16. > :07:22.traffic in and out of year is quite high.
:07:23. > :07:25.It comes at a time of falling central Government fund for
:07:26. > :07:30.councils, which the Mayor of Bristol says means cuts are inevitable, if
:07:31. > :07:39.regrettable. Again, in the case of assuming pool, that is the, but we
:07:40. > :07:46.could say, what about other services? If you are elected, you
:07:47. > :07:49.want a leader. Only does help people navigate difficult decisions. What
:07:50. > :07:52.we have is a whole bunch of difficult decisions. If you do not
:07:53. > :07:57.have the appetite for that, maybe you should think about whether you
:07:58. > :08:00.should have been elected. One thing it has been referred to
:08:01. > :08:04.repeatedly in the council meeting today as the financial mess in which
:08:05. > :08:07.Bristol finds itself. A recent report carried out by a former head
:08:08. > :08:15.of the commission concluded officers had the Robert -- had deliberately
:08:16. > :08:18.misled councils about the programme savings in the last two years. It
:08:19. > :08:25.means Bristol finds itself a long way behind other councils. In
:08:26. > :08:36.comparison to Swindon just down the road, it has half the population
:08:37. > :08:45.almost. In terms of libraries, Bristol runs 23. In a matter of
:08:46. > :08:52.months, Swindon will have five. There is a reflection in council
:08:53. > :08:58.tax. If you are a band Dee Holder in the areas...
:08:59. > :09:03.Council taxes at the centre of all this. It will be going up in Swindon
:09:04. > :09:07.and it will be certainly going up in Bristol. We will find out more after
:09:08. > :09:08.the results of the council meeting later this evening.
:09:09. > :09:12.For the moment, thank you. We'll know later where the axe
:09:13. > :09:14.will fall, but one organisation is warning that planned cuts to HIV

:09:32. > :09:34.you have a disease that can kill There's a lot of people
:09:35. > :09:48.that don't know I've got This is the first time Nelson Walker
:09:49. > :09:51.has spoken publically It's a sign of how strongly he feels

:10:53. > :10:54.the only other charity in Bristol to offer support,
:10:55. > :10:57.is about to close its doors. At best, it will only have one

:11:55. > :11:57.outside City Hall for us. Paul, has there been any news
:11:58. > :12:09.on funding for Brigstowe yet? One possibly positive bit of news
:12:10. > :12:13.today from the council meeting is that whilst the ?86,000 is
:12:14. > :12:16.officially still a proposal to cut from that project, they have now got
:12:17. > :12:20.another funding stream which they say they will look at and examine
:12:21. > :12:23.and hopefully find some money for the important work which the project
:12:24. > :12:28.undertakes. One other thing from inside the meeting this afternoon.

:13:24. > :13:29.Yes, and we've got lots more still to come before seven, including...
:13:30. > :13:35.The schoolgirl scaring her friends with her super strength.
:13:36. > :13:38.I'm just not going to go near her, I think. Is probably a pretty safe

:15:23. > :15:24.significant changes to the way information
:15:25. > :15:27.is shared within the team. Our nurses make difficult
:15:28. > :15:31.decisions every day, balancing the clinical needs

:15:35. > :15:43.Carolyn Brock's death said her care plan had not

:15:48. > :15:50.to try to make sure that every decision is passed on to everyone
:15:51. > :15:55.who needs to know. It's a marvel of Victorian

:16:11. > :16:12.David Gregory-Kumar a rare 170 years ago, when Cheltenham
:16:13. > :16:17.was running out of water, this was the solution the Victorians
:16:18. > :16:23.came up with - Hewletts Reservoir. And today, we have a rare
:16:24. > :16:27.chance to look around. This is one of our service
:16:28. > :16:30.reservoirs, where we keep water before we deliver it
:16:31. > :16:33.to our customers. We've got it off service
:16:34. > :16:35.at the moment for part of its routine inspection,
:16:36. > :16:38.to give it a checkup, because we're looking after these
:16:39. > :16:39.old Victorian assets and we want to look
:16:40. > :16:42.after them in the long term. When full, this tank
:16:43. > :16:44.can supply Cheltenham 45 million litres of clean water,
:16:45. > :16:50.it is absolutely enormous. So, it is quite hard to get a sense
:16:51. > :16:54.of just how big it is down here. What we have asked Duncan to do
:16:55. > :16:58.is to carry on working that way, down to the far end of the tank,
:16:59. > :17:01.to try and give you an idea It took Duncan a good few
:17:02. > :17:10.minutes to walk to the far I bet there is a really
:17:11. > :17:13.long echo in here. It may be huge down here,
:17:14. > :17:19.but it's also hidden from sight. Most people have no idea
:17:20. > :17:21.the reservoir exists. As you can see, where we're
:17:22. > :17:23.standing at the moment, it just looks like a bit
:17:24. > :17:25.of a green field. People just have no clue
:17:26. > :17:28.at all about what's This is one of our biggest
:17:29. > :17:34.reservoirs where we store clean water and we have got about 500
:17:35. > :17:37.of these across the region. And they range anything
:17:38. > :17:40.from something kind of the size of your bedroom to this one,
:17:41. > :17:46.which is absolutely huge. The good news is everything looks
:17:47. > :17:49.in pretty good shape. So we had it inspected
:17:50. > :17:51.by the engineer last week All the concrete has been
:17:52. > :17:57.here for tens of years and we're going to look after it for tens
:17:58. > :18:00.of years into the future as well. Soon, this vast space will be
:18:01. > :18:03.refilled, which will take about two weeks, and then Hewletts Reservoir
:18:04. > :18:05.will continue to quietly supply water to Cheltenham just as it has
:18:06. > :18:16.done for the last 170 years. Amazing. We really would not know
:18:17. > :18:19.that was under all those green fields. Let's move on to sport.

:21:05. > :21:06.But it is also, again, determination and that drive
:21:07. > :21:13.So it is great that she is talking of that, but I am sort of doing
:21:14. > :21:21.Charlie is not just a judo star, she is also
:21:22. > :21:25.And she has to make sure she's keeping up with the class,
:21:26. > :21:27.despite training and trips away to judo tournaments.
:21:28. > :21:34.A lot of them don't want to get on the wrong side of Charlie.
:21:35. > :21:37.But just watching her and how determined she is, and also,
:21:38. > :21:40.when she doesn't necessarily win every time, she can come back
:21:41. > :21:44.That is such a great trait for children to see
:21:45. > :21:49.A week Friday, Charlie is in Croatia competing.
:21:50. > :21:52.It is all part of her larger judo journey, and who knows
:21:53. > :22:01.For sure, Dad will always be by her side.
:22:02. > :22:06.You would want Charlie as a mate, wouldn't you?
:22:07. > :22:10.Tewkesbury Abbey has been taken over by nearly a hundred knitted monks.
:22:11. > :22:15.The woolly figures have been made for the Monks In The Abbey
:22:16. > :22:17.Exhibition and those behind it are hoping there could
:22:18. > :22:20.Natasha Turney has been to have a look.
:22:21. > :22:23.Monks have always been a big part of the history of Tewkesbury Abbey.
:22:24. > :22:30.Around 20 woolly visitors took up residence here a few years ago,
:22:31. > :22:36.with the collection growing year-on-year.
:22:37. > :22:39.I thought that as the abbey used to have a monastery attached,
:22:40. > :22:41.it would be a good idea to celebrate this fact.
:22:42. > :22:44.And although the monastery has been pulled down now,
:22:45. > :22:46.we still have this wonderful abbey, and let's celebrate the fact
:22:47. > :22:51.They may only be ten centimetres tall, but they are proving
:22:52. > :22:55.It is really, really nice and unexpected.
:22:56. > :22:58.I am very impressed with the amount of work people have put into this
:22:59. > :23:09.And I hope it continues for a long time.
:23:10. > :23:12.Out of the 91 monks that are here, 85 were hand-knitted
:23:13. > :23:18.Well, they are on outreach in the community, letting people
:23:19. > :23:24.And soon there are set to be even more.
:23:25. > :23:27.Well, the Abbey, in 2021, will be 900 years old since
:23:28. > :23:34.And we hope to have 900 monks here to celebrate a monk for every
:23:35. > :23:40.That works out at around 120 extra each year,
:23:41. > :23:43.and so the church are looking for help from the whole community
:23:44. > :23:50.So, it is going to mean a lot more organising,
:23:51. > :23:59.knitting, crocheting, putting together, and we just
:24:00. > :24:01.hope the community will come and join us.
:24:02. > :24:07.The monks here will stay on display until the end of February.
:24:08. > :24:10.After that, it is time to get the knitting needles out and start
:24:11. > :24:20.Can you make? I think I know the answer but I will ask anyway.
:24:21. > :24:24.I can't, but I am always impressed with people who can. My mother used
:24:25. > :24:27.to knit my cricket jumpers and then shrink them in the wash.
:24:28. > :24:31.Sara Thornton is in the BBC Weather centre.
:24:32. > :24:50.Can you make? -- knit? No, but I know more about the
:24:51. > :24:54.weather. It is not very inspiring the pictures. Pretty cloudy for most
:24:55. > :24:58.of us. Some rain in there as well. Heavy rain in the north-west. You
:24:59. > :25:03.can notice the strike of cloud behind me. That is a frontal system
:25:04. > :25:08.that will sink towards us tonight and introduce yet more rainforest. A
:25:09. > :25:14.lot of it will be knocked out by the Welsh mountains. As we had tonight
:25:15. > :25:18.into tomorrow morning. But there will be some alone, which leads us
:25:19. > :25:24.to a quite damp 24 hours ahead for us. Little bits and pieces of rain
:25:25. > :25:28.coming through the night. You can see it as just some towards us.
:25:29. > :25:32.Crucially, it doesn't quite get to us with any cold the Arsenal will be
:25:33. > :25:38.another mild night. At 10 Celsius, 50 in Fahrenheit, above what we
:25:39. > :25:43.would expect by Dave Lewis time of year. Let alone night. We start the
:25:44. > :25:48.morning on a mild zero, but it is mild and damp and breezy as well.
:25:49. > :25:52.The winds will be a feature of the weather tomorrow. Bits and pieces of
:25:53. > :25:59.rain around. The odd heavy bursts potentially but the rain knocked out
:26:00. > :26:03.mostly by the Welsh mountains. As I said, it is a breezy day and another
:26:04. > :26:08.mild one again. Temperatures like today, the low teens, 12, maybe 13
:26:09. > :26:11.Celsius. If you have any interest in the weather and you have been across
:26:12. > :26:17.the news, you might be aware there is a storm heading for the UK on
:26:18. > :26:21.Thursday. Storm Doris, a named storm from the Met Office. We see it as
:26:22. > :26:23.rain through the morning and then strengthening winds as the rain
:26:24. > :26:28.pulls away into the early part of the afternoon. I want to talk you
:26:29. > :26:31.through the weather warnings. We're not really affected by the very
:26:32. > :26:35.worst of Storm Doris. A lot of it was the north of the UK. This yellow
:26:36. > :26:40.be aware warning for the strength of the wind is just clips into
:26:41. > :26:46.Gloucestershire. Further south, we could even see significant wind
:26:47. > :26:49.gusts. From the cold front, that rain battles through in the morning,
:26:50. > :26:54.it is gone by mid morning and then the sunshine behind it. Temperatures
:26:55. > :26:59.fall away goes on and the wind gusts will be significant. Here are the
:27:00. > :27:04.gusts we are talking about, in excess of 50 mph which could be
:27:05. > :27:09.disrupted for a time. 10 Celsius before that pulls away. Once the
:27:10. > :27:13.winds get in, it will then feel chillier. Friday could start with
:27:14. > :27:15.some ground frost. It is cooler feeling on Friday but lack into
:27:16. > :27:23.double figures by Saturday. Thank you very much. Storm Doris
:27:24. > :27:32.sound so calm. It sounds like a sweet person, not a horrible storm!
:27:33. > :27:35.We are back with you in the Ten O'Clock News. We will have the
:27:36. > :27:41.details from the council budget meeting that we sought Paul at.
:27:42. > :27:46.Still there in the rain, no doubt! Hopefully he will be back in from
:27:47. > :27:56.the rain. We will see you for the Ten O'Clock News. Goodbye.
