Welcome to BBC Points West with Alex Lovell and David Garmston. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Two West primary schools were on trips to Parliament. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
The children were on lockdown and sang songs to keep their spirits up. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
Well, it's great relief for the parents in Hotwells today | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
as the the children from year six in the school had been | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
But now they're all safely on a coach and heading home. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
We'll have the latest reaction from west country | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
I'm particularly concerned about my staff, who witnessed the whole | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
thing. It's deeply upsetting. We immediately after informed their | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
families that we are all safe. We are all shocked. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |

Children from the West on a school trip to Westminster were put | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
into lock down this afternoon, as a terror attack | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
The groups are from Hotwells in Bristol and St John | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
St Francis Church School in Bridgwater. | :01:35. | :01:35. | |
One of the teachers put a message on social media saying | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
they were singing songs as a distraction to | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Tonight both primary schools say everyone is safe and they're | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
trying to get them home as soon as possible. | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
In a moment we'll be live at Hotwells school, | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
but first our reporter Robin Markwell has been hearing | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
from other eyewitnesses from the West caught up | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
The attack on the Bridge and then inside Parliament | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Journalists and politicians from the West found | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
themselves in the middle of the unfolding drama. | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
We'd heard a bang. Me and my colleagues in round 12 of Parliament | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
were looking to see what that was and we suddenly saw a policeman | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
being pushed into the yard. It was strange because normally nobody is | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
allowed in the apart from MPs and those with passes. Suddenly, she was | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
pushed and lunged at many times. The attacker had a knife in his hand. | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
From what I then saw, a policeman approached him, dressed in black and | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
fired two to three shots anti-crumpled on the floor. | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
They were told to stay inside their offices. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Among those caught up in the lockdown, the Cotswold MP | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
I'm particularly concerned about my staff, who witnessed the whole | :02:48. | :02:59. | |
thing, which is deeply upsetting. Of course, immediate -- immediately | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
after it happened we all informed their families that we are safe. We | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
are shocked. We are a couple -- we are locked in the middle of | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Parliament. We don't know when we will be allowed out. | :03:11. | :03:11. | |
The Bristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire took | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
to Twitter to describe the "frightening scenes outside". | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Salisbury MP John Glen sent his "thoughts and | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
And the Wells MP James Heappey praised the doorkeepers inside | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
Parliament for their "unflappable attitude" A children's author | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
from Midsomer Norton happened to be on Westminster Bridge at the time | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
I was walking that -- across the bridge and suddenly a bus stop that | :03:31. | :03:43. | |
people started screaming. People came off the bus and seemed upset | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
and I saw what appeared to be a trainer by the side of the road. On | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
the other side of the vote, there was a body and when I would further, | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
there was another body and then when I looked over the side of the | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
bridge, they appeared to be a body in the water as well. | :03:59. | :03:59. | |
The Prime Minister is to chair an emergency meeting later. | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
A counter-terrorism inquiry is underway. | :04:03. | :04:03. | |
But for now many are still coming to terms with the shocking | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
I have just spoked to the MP for Wells, James Heappey, | :04:07. | :04:19. | |
I asked him to describe what is going on around him. | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
I am inside the Houses of Parliament. There are a lot of MPs | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
sat around, some pacing around. We can endure for a couple of hours and | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
I as I understand that we would be moved until the whole of the Palace | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
of Westminster is cleared and secured and then they will move us. | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
What did you see and hear? So, I was already working in the Palace of | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Westminster when the division bell rang and this all happened, during a | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
vote this morning. So I just went straight to the division lobby and I | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
was 14, actually just behind the Prime Minister, and I saw somebody | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
her ear and she was taken away and I now understand that was harder being | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
taken off to a secure location. Really, the first I but it was when | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
colleagues started to arrive for voting, looking pretty flustered and | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
they had been on their way across from the office blocks on the other | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
side of the Parliamentary estate when happened. Some of them were | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
asked to get on the floor and take cover and it was really quite | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
dramatic. You say you saw the Prime Minister in front of you. What was | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
her reaction, as far as you could tell, from worried you where, when | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
she got the news that this was happening outside? I can't tell you | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
exactly which was told. She may have simply been told that there was an | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
incident and could they go with her. She remained as calm as you would | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
expect and was taken away. As I understand it, she was removed | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
immediately from the Parliamentary estate, but to me, in the QB entered | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
the fort, she was just being told something quite normal, as far as I | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
could tell. We know that there were two parties of Westminster School | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
children in the Palace of Westminster when this all unfolded. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
They have also been involved in the locked in as well. I have heard | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
that. In fact, some children were even in the House of Commons at the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
time that the Loughton happened and they were still up in the public | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
gallery and hour and a half later, which acted quickly scooter for | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
them. You are an ex-military man, aren't you? You have seen conflict | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
of course, as it were. What are your personal thoughts about this? I | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
mean, the obvious thing to say is that not the policeman who was the | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
first line of defence on the gates of Parliament has tragically lost | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
his life, the reality is that the security effort around Parliament | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
appears to have worked very effectively. The incident seems to | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
have been brought to an end very quickly indeed and the house | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
authorities, working with the police, having run the process for | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
containing the incident and securing the Palace of Westminster. It seems | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
to me to have been done very efficiently and very effectively and | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
I think we are all very grateful to them for being as good as their jobs | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
as they are. Thank you for joining us. | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
Our reporter Tracey Miller is outside Hotwells Primary School | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
in Bristol where a group of year sixes, 10 and 11 year olds, | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
were on a trip to Parliament today when the terror attack unfolded. | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Yes, we know that they are safe but the parents have had a very | :07:33. | :07:48. | |
stressful afternoon. The children from year six had been on a trip to | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Westminster today. In the last few minutes, the headmaster has released | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
this statement saying that the children were not directly caught up | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
in it where -- but when you at the scene and they worked closely with | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
the police to put forward an emergency procedure and of they are | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
heading home and are safe, they are not aware of what has happened in | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Westminster today. Earlier I spoke to a member of staff who was working | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
in the school today. When we came in all the teachers | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
were on edge, you could tell. And when they were talking, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
you could hear something The caretaker said that year six | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
were on a London trip. We pieced it altogether and realised | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
that there was something going on. Another skill was also visiting | :08:25. | :08:44. | |
Westminster today. They were inside the Palace of whispered to win the | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
attack happened and were caught up in the Loughton but they managed to | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
put out a tweet from inside the building and they said that we are | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
all sat in the centre of the house of parliament, we are safe, happy | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
and lightening the middle of a song. -- likening the mood with a song. We | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
don't know what time the children will be getting home but the schools | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
are keeping the parents are home and I am sure they would be very | :09:11. | :09:11. | |
relieved to have them back tonight. This is a story we will stay with | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
the seating. Thank goodness they are safe. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
The parents of a 7-year-old who died after heart surgery | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
at Bristol Children's Hospital have been awarded ?100,000 compensation. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Luke Jenkins was moved out of intensive care just days | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
after his operation, because of a lack of beds. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Our health correspondent Matthew Hill reports. | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
Stephen Jenkins has been unable to work since witnessing the death | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
We raised the alarm. We were the ones saying that they needed to get | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
somebody in here now. After life saving heart | :09:57. | :09:57. | |
surgery, Luke came here. He'd been discharged early | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
from intensive care. At the time, unlike other hospitals, | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
Bristol had no high dependency beds. A new report by the health service | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
ombudsman says Lukes parents were misled by staff about ward 32 | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
being a high-dependency unit. We were saying that she was bleeding | :10:10. | :10:22. | |
and with the doctor to come and look or someone from the outreach team | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
and they were saying yes, yes, and they just weren't listening to us. | :10:26. | :10:26. | |
The HSO report also found maladministration in the Trust's | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
complain handling and that, "This has led to an injustice | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
It says, "Doctors and nurses failed to recognise and manage signs | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
of Luke deterioration", while he was on ward 32. | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
Luke should have been admitted to intensive care | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
And because of poor record keeping, they could not establish if these | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
According to this recording the Jenkins made of a leading doctor | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
from the childrens hospital, Luke's death was avoidable. | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
If it hadn't happened, she would still be alive. These are quite | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
difficult things to correct and we will do our best to correct them. | :11:11. | :11:11. | |
But despite this the HSO report concludes that because no obvious | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
cause of the catastrophic fatal bleed has been established, | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
they are unable to link Lukes death to any of the failings. | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
At the time, we believed we would get something from the inquest. We | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
put all hopes in the truth finally coming out and we walked away from | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
their just being a whitewash anything else. | :11:38. | :11:38. | |
The hospital say they have developed an action plan to address | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
the failings identified by the ombudsman. | :11:42. | :11:42. | |
In a statement they say, "The care Luke received has | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
been subject to several, independent, expert reviews, | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
none of which showed that we caused his death. | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
We fully accept, however, that there were failings in the care | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
and treatment we gave him and we also accept that, | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
after his death, we compounded the pain and grief of his family | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
by giving incorrect and incomplete information in response | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
We are deeply sorry for everything we got wrong and we have apologised | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
to Luke's parents for letting them down so badly. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
The compensation awarded today means Lukes parents can now begin | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
to rebuild their lives, but they will always be | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
haunted by the question, would Luke still be alive if he had | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
Thanks for joining us this evening here on Points West. | :12:21. | :12:41. | |
We'll keep you up to date on events in Westminster before | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
We hear about the divide between urban and rural classrooms. | :12:44. | :12:49. | |

Jordan Taylor, who was 25, died from stab wounds | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
after being attacked near the town's community hospital | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
This morning Hayden Maslen who is 18 and from Park Street in Trowbridge | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
didn't appear in court and made no bail application. | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
His trial is due to start in September. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
Disruption caused by a derailed freight train in Somerset is likely | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
Replacement buses are running between Westbury and Castle Cary, | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
with many trains delayed or cancelled. | :13:35. | :13:35. | |
Network Rail says some of the wagons which came off the track | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
were carrying stone or sand, and more work's needed | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Princess Anne has told the BBC she believes genetically-modified | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
crops have important benefits in providing food The Princess Royal | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
The Princess Royal has told Radio 4's Farming Today | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
to use GM for crops and livestock on her own farming estate own land | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
I do think that in the future your gene technology has real benefits to | :14:05. | :14:16. | |
offer which will have, maybe, and occasional blindside, but I suspect | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
not very many. Princess Anne's views have today | :14:19. | :14:19. | |
been criticised by Green MEPs, who say she "doesn't speak | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
for the average UK farmer". Her position also appears | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
to put her at odds with her brother, Prince Charles, who's warned that GM | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
crops could cause an There's more from that | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
interview with Princess Anne on Farming Today tomorrow morning, | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
that's from 5.45am on BBC Radio 4. Rural schools in the West are | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
calling on the government to push The plans which are proving | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
very controversial, with the Prime Minister Theresa May | :14:48. | :14:57. | |
and Labour's Jeremy Corbyn battling it out in the Commons | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
today on the issue. When there's not enough money to go | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
round, changing who gets I think there is to be | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
a serious reconsideration Yet everyone agrees | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
the old system needs reforming. Some London boroughs get nearly | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
twice as much per pupil as the lowest-funded | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
areas of England. Under the proposals, | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
for the first time, the difficulties faced by rural schools | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
are being factored in. The school faced a kosher 17 years | :15:23. | :15:37. | |
ago for being too small and now it is one of the biggest winners, its | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
budget going up 23.5%. But even the winners are not that happy. On the | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
face of it, it looks marvellous for school, but in the small print you | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
can see that in the process of implementation of the new formula, | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
it means that there will be a cap on the first year of just 1.5%, so to | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
give a very long time for us to get the money. | :16:00. | :16:00. | |
At Misterton First School near Crewkerne in Somerset, | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
Under the proposals, they'll get an extra ?44,000. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
It means they might be able to go from two classes back to three. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
We are thrilled that the balance had been redressed and that | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
It has been really tough for small, rural schools. | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
The proposed changes are supposed to make the system fairer so you can | :16:23. | :16:38. | |
get access to a good aggregation, no matter where you are. The problem is | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
that what is good in one size is not necessarily end and others. | :16:45. | :16:45. | |
It's the cities which are feeling the biggest pinch. | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
A recent survey suggested Bristol's primary schools will lose | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
It's difficult for headteachers in Bristol to see the impact | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
of the proposed national funding formula changes as fair, | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
if it means that we get less money coming into schools to provide good | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
quality education for children across the city. | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
With schools already needing to find ?3 billion worth of cuts by 2020, | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
this review has stirred up a hornet's nest of discontent. | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Last week, the Cotswolds MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown warned | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
the Prime Minister she could face a backbench Tory rebellion | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
Forest Green Rovers head to promotion rivals Lincoln | :17:22. | :17:30. | |

for Lincoln meant the to two sides swapped places. | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
Forest Green left it late, with the winner coming | :17:45. | :17:47. | |

and it's about community and courage and because it is a true story, it | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
mattered to us that we did it justice. | :19:13. | :19:12. | |
And part of that relied on recreating wartime | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
Today it's too modern, so the film turned to the westcountry for help. | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Wells Town Hall became the Nazi's headquarters. | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
And do you recognise this 1940's steamship? | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
It is of course The Balmoral on the Bristol Harbourshide. | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
To go back there and have an old board and soldiers coming off, Nazi | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
soldiers, and the pitch yourself and imagining, something that we did it | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
all the time, all, my God, this really happened. It was very | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
distressing, actually. And so was what happened | :19:51. | :19:51. | |
to Louisa's brother Harold, He was the only Briton who survived | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
Belsen concentration camp. In total, the Bristol | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
scenes involved around 100 They will use accommodation and all | :20:02. | :20:13. | |
the knock-on effects. They will have eaten in the city. ?20,000 a day, | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
?40,000 in 2-D -- days and also the profile on the screen as well, it's | :20:21. | :20:21. | |
really important for Bristol. it's the bravey of Louisa Gould | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
and her community that they hope the audience will be left | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
remembering. Now we return to our top story | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
tonight and this afternoon's Joining us now is Professor | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Bill Durodie, an expert in counter-terrorism | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
from the University of Bath. I guess this wasn't a huge surprise | :20:43. | :20:58. | |
but what is your assessment of these events? You're absolutely right, I | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
think this kind of attack is becoming all too predictable now. | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
Events in Neath last summer, through the attacks on the German Christmas | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
market at Christmas to this today, the one thing I would say is that | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
there appears to be a diminishing rate of return for the perpetrators. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Obviously, this is a terrible tragedy for all those caught up in | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
this incident, but we are looking now, really, at individual attackers | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
who, I would say, are so completely misguided that they have completely | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
lost any sense of having a moral anchor. Professor, what is your | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
assessment of the reaction to the events by the security forces today? | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
I think it is understandable that, considering the location that | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
everything has gone into Loughton, but I also think and I suspect the | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
authorities will concur, that the sooner that we can return to | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
normalcy, the better, because otherwise, we end up completing | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
every act of terrorism. This two elements to an act of terrorism. The | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
event itself and how society response to it. I think the best | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
thing we could do is to say, this is the lone individual who is obviously | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
not just misguided, without any moral attachment to any community | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
and it's an act of criminality, more than an act of terror and we now | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
need to get on with our lives because we have more important | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
things to do than to give too much airtime to individuals like this. | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
This happened in one of the most heavily guarded areas of the | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
country, of course, in Parliament. What must be a neat mirror scenario, | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
I suppose, is something happening here, or out in the provinces, where | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
there aren't armed officers available so quickly. Yes, obviously | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
we can think that way, but I think the important thing is to speculate | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
and extrapolate too much. The fact that that has happened where it has | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
happened should teachers that there is no level of security that can be | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
assured to all people in all places, at times. It enters the security | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
myth that no doubt members of Parliament will be propagating soon | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
after these events, to say that we need even more security. There's a | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
limit to what we can do and, as I often see as the stains, what we are | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
facing here is not the much a security problem as a social | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
problem. There are individuals who are so thoroughly misguided in our | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
communities, it asks awkward questions as to who is guiding them | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
and what our role is in providing direction and moral values to | :23:45. | :23:54. | |
society. Certainly, the Home Secretary is Colin and urging calm | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
and Theresa May is going into Cobra now. Thank you for joining us. | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
Good evening. Certainly decent enough well the sunshine was around, | :24:01. | :24:18. | |
much like yesterday, some of you had a different experience with the | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
number of showers around. As we head into tomorrow, it will be the study | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
of some early rain, which is likely to be heavy and places. That will | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
clear the way out to watch the west of us. I suspect many other | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
districts will be dry but there is a risk of further in and -- affecting | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
southern areas and the question is how far north that might stretch or | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
not. For lovers, noticeably windy day with wind coming in from the | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
north-east. That inevitably means there will be another sheer wonder | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
child to add to proceedings. No pressures to think the worst parts | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
of France and I the BDO where we we will see a in situ for the rest of | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
the weekend. We have these areas of rain and sure affecting those at | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
least two stages through the course of the model and you can see that | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
for coming in from a north-east a quarter which, still at this time of | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
year, there's still a cold direction. For the rest of this | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
evening, one or two showers left, particularly over Somerset. Tending | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
to die -- tending to die away. Turning cold as well. This area of | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
rain starting to come in from the south-east as we head through the | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
second half of the made, such that there is position will be roundabout | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
when you see there by 6am. A decidedly wet start for many of you, | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
but not necessarily all of you. Temperatures dropping low enough | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
that they could have a touch of Frost before that grin appears. | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Through the course of tomorrow morning, bad rain will run its weird | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
to the west, so freely heavy. As it does so, the fit next -- the next | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
feature of interest will be the South. There is uncertainty how far | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
north that and will be no stretch. As you can further northwards, as it | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
stands, it is looking drier and perhaps somewhat greater of the | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
afternoon, but if you been watching the wind arrow sticking around, they | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
are quite pronounced. Temperatures up to nine or other than Celsius, | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
but as I mentioned, if you're exposed to the wind, it will be | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
feeling that bit more cold. That will be the case into faded, not | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
dissimilar in some case -- respects some areas of rain, generally | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
lighter, certainly a lot of cloud around and make time to break up -- | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
tend to pick up later. From the north, that high-pressure starting | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
to Dublin and build and that bodes well as we head into the weekend. A | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
cold night, certainly. Still that north-easterly breeze. | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
Before we leave you, a reminder of today's main news. | :26:53. | :26:54. | |
There's been a terror attack in the heart of London. | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
Four people including a police officer are now | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
known to have been killed close to the Palace of Westminster. | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
More than 20 people are in hospital tonight, | :27:05. | :27:06. | |
some with what's being described as "catastrophic injuries." | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
The Prime Minister, Theresa May will hold an emergency meeting | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
of the Cobra committee tonight, in response to the day's events. | :27:12. | :27:30. | |
We heard the MP from Somerset saying that she was behind the Prime | :27:31. | :27:38. | |
Minister she was given the news. We are back in again at 10am. | :27:39. | :27:41. |
