Welcome to BBC Points West with David Garmston and Alex Lovell. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Our main story tonight: Broken hips lead to the death | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
of thousands of elderly people, but now a Bristol study | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
shows many could be saved if the operation is done quickly. | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
The difference between operating on patients within 24 hours or 36 could | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
be life altering. Our other headlines tonight: | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
The Green party launches its national campaign in Bristol | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
with a plea for opposition parties to work together | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
against the Conservatives. Up close and personal - | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
the six candidates who want to be Metro Mayor line up | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
for a BBC West debate. And her memory lives on - | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
a charity race to reflect the life of a young rider who died | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
from cancer. Hundreds of lives could be saved | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
if people with hip fractures are operated on more quickly, | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
according to the biggest study Researchers at Southmead | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
Hospital analysed a quarter of a million patients | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
and found fewer died if they'd made into the operating | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
theatre within 24 hours. Here's our Health | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Correspondent Matthew Hill. His report contains pictures | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
of an operation carried Doreen had just had an operation to | :01:20. | :01:37. | |
mend her hip after falling at home. I crawled over because I knew my | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
handbag was behind the chair and I could get my mobile to phone my son. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Unfortunately, it was about 14 inches away and I could not in any | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
weight at that back, so after about an hour and a half, I managed to get | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
artificial flowers and I managed to find the longest one which I hoped | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
around the handle and managed to get the handbag and get the phone and I | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
phoned my son and he was over within a quarter of an hour. She was | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
operated on within 36 hours of her fault. Hospitals are given a bonus | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
payment if they are able to get patients such as Doreen into the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
operating theatre within a day and a half. This patient broker hit last | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
night. She is already being operated on. A study here at Southmead | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
suggests that if patients get their operation within 24 hours, more | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
lives could be saved. Southmead is the leading hospital in the country | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
when it comes to gathering data about how patients do after their | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
operations. Researchers have analysed more than a quarter of a | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
million of patients across the country. 8% more patients died they | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
were operated on between 24 and 36 hours compared to those given | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
surgery within 24 hours. And the risk increased to 20% for those | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
receiving surgery after 48 hours. There are certain patients to | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
benefit from greater time to get them better but before their | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
surgical procedure. Surgical procedures are not without risk. It | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
is only one part of the care we need to give them. We need to support | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
them with their bone health and with getting up their independence and | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
mobility and it is one important part of their care. I think we have | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
shown for the first time that early surgery in those patients we can get | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
better quicker is much better for them. The huge database Southmead | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
built-up identifies those hospitals that have higher death rates. The | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
latest registry shows that patients having this type of operation at | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Gloucester Royal have been far more likely to die within 30 days in | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
recent years. For instance, in 2014, the death rate was 12.5% compared | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
with the national average of 7.5%. And also Western General Hospital | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
has been an outlier. Western trust say they realised they needed to do | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
better and have already introduced a number of measures to improve | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
outcomes. The Gloucester Royal say their latest figures are now in line | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
with the national average. Now politics. | :04:07. | :04:07. | |
The Green Party chose Bristol today to launch | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
The hastily arranged event came just 48 hours | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
after Theresa May shocked the nation, naming | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
And the Greens have their own radical plan | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Our political editor Paul Barltrop is here. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
It could have been because of the beautiful view, a lovely setting, | :04:22. | :04:33. | |
right beside the Clifton suspension Bridge on the edge of the gorge | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
there. PB Beeson was that this is in the Bristol West constituency, which | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
is the Greens top target for this coming general election. In 2015, | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
they came second to Labour. They have helped quite a few council | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
seats in the area. The key messages were things like the NHS, care for | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
the environment, doing more for young people, which they think will | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
do well in the constituency. Bristol West had one of the highest votes to | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
remain in the European Union, so they will make a big issue of | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
Brexit. It is so vital that we send a clear | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
message. We have a Government here that has listened to Ukip. Ukip said | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
jump and the Government have said how high. We are the antidote to | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
Ukip. Is that not what the Liberal Democrats are saying? It is, but | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
they are suggesting doing something of a deal. Look at Gloucestershire, | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
which is one example they have come up with. They would like those two | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
parties to stand aside so they can try to oust the Conservatives in | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Stroud. They would then stand back and asked the Lib Dems to stand back | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
in Gloucester saw that Labour could put the Conservatives out there and | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
in jobs and, the Lib Dems will be the party of choice to get rid of | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
the conservative there. That is the idea and their candidate has been | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
talking about it since last year. This time, they have actually | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
listened to the leaders of the other two parties. Caroline Lucas, their | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
leader has been telling us a bit more. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Under this electoral system, it is very hard for people's views to be | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
properly represented, so people live in safe seats and their drugs do not | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
council we want to look at marginals and Siegfried and have discussions | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
with the other parties and see if they can be in agreement about | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
perhaps having paper candidates a we put more emphasis on one of the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
other ones to beat an extreme Tory. But what Caroline Lucas did not say | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
there is that at Bristol West, the seat they want the most, it is held | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
by Labour at the moment and they are second saw this will not happen. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Certainly not in some of the key target seats like Bristol West, | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
absolutely. But what they say is it will just be in some places. What do | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
the other party thing? I do not think they will warm to the idea. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Labour certainly want to put a candidate in every constituency. The | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Lib Dems would be doing that in principle, but interesting to note | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
that Paddy Ashdown, formal Yeovil MP said today, well done the Greens for | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
reaching out for sensible seat arrangements were these can be done. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Labour and Lib Dems should respond positively. Interesting to see where | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
this one ends up. OK, Paul. Thank you. | :07:08. | :07:08. | |
And of course we've got other elections before all that | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
and the six candidates in the running for the West | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
of England Metro Mayor will feature in a special debate tonight. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
It's a chance for the people in the running for the new role | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
to take questions from the audience on issues including | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
housing and transport - and to outline how they'll | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
promote our region on a national and international stage. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
80 people, six candidates, one brand new position, | :07:27. | :07:40. | |
This is their interview with you, the voters. | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
almost three quarters of a million eligible voters across Bristol, | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
South Gloucestershire and Bath and North East Somerset. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
And one of these candidates is a metro mayor in the making | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
and will have a new job come May the 5th. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
You concerned about voter turnout? The idea that we can get more say | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
about our own future is very important. I am not in favour of a | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
soft Brexit. I am actually against Brexit absolutely. I think it will | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
be damaging to the regional economy. This debate putting their policies | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
through their paces in front of an audience of current leaders | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
and members of the public too. And this is the biggest opportunity | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
in a generation that we have to have some control back here. What I want | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
to see as Metro Mayor is the three local authorities working together, | :08:26. | :08:26. | |
but no wider than that. Whoever's elected will be in charge | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
of a billion pound budget. Their portfolio includes | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
planning and housing, Is it worth it? What is the point? I | :08:32. | :08:45. | |
think the really important thing is that it actually makes somebody | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
accountable for the investment and opportunities clearly defined in | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
what those powers are. I see how valuable are green and open spaces | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
are and I will protect them. They need protecting. For wildlife and | :08:57. | :08:57. | |
also for our mental well-being. But the three authorities already | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
have elected leaders. The successful metro mayor will need | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
to work alongside them too. You can't come in like a Bigfoot | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
because actually we are here and if you disturb those relationships it | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
will cause a problem. You have all come over 30 years that I have in my | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
business group tried to do things, failed to have ambition. | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
The vote for the metro mayor is the same day as local council | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
You can watch the whole debate after the late | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
So that's me with "A Mayor for the West of England" - | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
Still to come on tonight's Points West: | :09:34. | :09:51. | |
Signalling the end of the American crayfish. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
Find out why they're fishing out the foreign invaders | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
And barring the odd spot of light rain, the rest of this week is | :09:56. | :10:09. | |
looking dry, but all change next week. Details at the end of the | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
programme. A scheme which allows former rough | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
sleepers to live in converted council buildings is to be | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
expanded in Bristol. Beds are rented out to those | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
who are free of drink and drug problems, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
but who can't afford So far there are 19 rooms - | :10:23. | :10:23. | |
it's hoped that will more than double in the next year and be | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
rolled out to other parts So use to sleep down here by the | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Royals -- Lloyds building? But his zero-hours contract made it | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
hard to rent a room. Christmas Eve I spent a year. | :10:47. | :11:02. | |
Christmas morning I woke up here. So it was a little bit depressing. | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Fortunately, Clive was spotted by support workers. | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
It's a former community centre in Hartcliffe. | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
Two kitchens, plenty of toilets. There are six of those here with six | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
separate rooms. This old office is | :11:18. | :11:17. | |
now Clive's bedroom. I look back at the sleeping rough | :11:18. | :11:32. | |
and everything and it was a trial but it was my trial and I got | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
through it and I am now starting to come out the other end of it and I | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
have steps in place now. There is a future for me. | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
Mo also rents a room - he didn't want to be identified. | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
He's Somali and moved here from London. | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
And ended up sleeping rough after losing his job. | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
When I have somewhere nice to sleep, I can sort myself out. You seem | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
happy. I feel very happy. The stay on average | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
is four and a half months. This provides a stopgap survey can | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
save up some money. The bread is affordable for a short period and we | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
want them to be looking actively for the work and the idea is that they | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
find themselves and this is just a stepping stone. | :12:17. | :12:16. | |
So six former rough sleepers living in an old communtiy centre. | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
When they first said it was going to be a homeless shelter, we thought we | :12:20. | :12:30. | |
were going to have the worst. Which upset everybody. But they have | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
proven is all wrong. They are tidy and polite. They genuinely are nice | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
people. It is safer all round. There are people there and the building is | :12:41. | :12:41. | |
not getting smashed up or destroyed. The charity behind the scheme wants | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
to convert more buildings. Saying there's a growing | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
need for more beds. Aimed at those who have simply been | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
priced out of Bristol's private A look at the rest of the day's news | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
here in the West and the mainline track was shut for more than an hour | :12:51. | :13:03. | |
near Bath today, to fix a problem which has caused disruption | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
for the last two days. A fault with the points | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
near Oldfield Park meant staff It's led to some | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
diversions and delays. Fewer trains were already running | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
because of work to prepare the station for a new fleet | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
of inter city trains. I am happy to say services this | :13:19. | :13:28. | |
afternoon have been restored to normal after some emergency | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
engineering work by Network Rail. Clearly, when you have a reduced | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
service, a reduced train service then having any other faults on that | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
line can have a knock-on effect on our passengers. But that issue has | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
now been resolved and we had services running as normal. The | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
ongoing work at the station is on time and said to finish on Sunday, | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
so by Monday morning's rush hour, Bath spa should be back to hope so. | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
A protest against a new McDonald's restaurant in Bristol was held | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
The fast-food chain is appealing a decision | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
by the council to refuse planning permission for a new | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
McDonald's say it'll lead to new investment in the area | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
Those against say it'll increase congestion and levels of obesity. | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
Bath's Conservative MP Ben Howlett won't face any charges | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
after an allegation of sexual assault was made | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
Mr Howlett wasn't arrested at the time, | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
but went to a police station voluntarily to speak to officers | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
In a statement, the Crown Prosecution Service has said no | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
charges were brought because there wasn't | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
Mr Howlett has always "strenuously denied any wrongdoing". | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
Tickets sold out in just 45 minutes to hear the US | :14:42. | :14:43. | |

The politician and activist campaigned to become | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
the Democratic candidate to run for the White House, | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
His talk at St George's is expected to give an insight into his election | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
campaign and his hopes for the future of | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
A group of volunteers in Somerset have been pulling on their wellies | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
and wading into the water, in a bid to rid our rivers | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
The American Signal Crayfish is killing off our native crayfish | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
Sally Challoner has been to see the project on Exmoor. | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
An army of volunteers and experts descend | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Their mission isn't easy - to track down, and remove | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
or sterilise the invasive American crayfish. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Nicky Green is running the project; she's in the middle of a phd to see | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
if this method can bring some kind of balance back to the ecosystem. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
They've laid traps along a stretch of the river; today | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
she and the volunteers are checking them. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Quite a young one, probably no more than a year old, this one. It is a | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
male, you can tell by the parts which are under year. And this is a | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
male. are an invasive species - | :16:14. | :16:14. | |
introduced in the 70's as a potential diversification | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
for farmers, but they spread, killing our native white-clawed | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
crayfish, damaging river banks, If they are left unchecked, they | :16:22. | :16:32. | |
will basically destroy the ecosystem. They will wipe out all of | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
the invertebrate life, plant life, fish, all sorts of stuff. There are | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
many examples of what courses in the south-east of England where | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
literally the only wildlife in the river is crayfish. | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
Part of the funding comes from the Environment Agency. | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
They're interested to see if this method can be | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
We're returning the big breeding males, having sterilise them, so | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
that they basically think that they are mating with females, but it is | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
not working and so you have fewer eggs hatching out the following | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
spring, which is what we are starting check now. So far, from two | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
years trapping, we have got about 6500 crayfish and that is on just | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
over a kilometre of river and what we have found that the catch rates | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
of the two years have gone down by 30%. | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
Nicky hopes the work will continue, even | :17:31. | :17:31. | |
If you are an American visiting our area, you are very welcome. It is | :17:32. | :17:48. | |
just your wildlife. Chris Packham has been cleared | :17:49. | :17:49. | |
of charges of assault in Malta. The BBC Springwatch | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
presenter is on the island filming a documentary | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
on illegal bird trapping. He says he and his production team | :17:55. | :17:55. | |

in memory of a Somerset rider Hannah Francis was only 18 | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
when she passed away in the summer. She set up a charity named | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
after her toy mascot, Our Gloucestershire reporter, | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
Steve Knibbs, is at Cheltenham Let's join him. Hi, Steve. We will | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
not reveal the winner of the race. We will meet him in a moment, but | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
just to say it has been an emotional day for many people. The money | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
raised today will be used for more research into bone cancer and also | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
to provide specialist equine experiences for those still with | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
cancer and it is because of Hannah's incredible vision for what you | :18:53. | :18:53. | |
wanted her legacy to be. Hannah Francis pushed | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
herself to the limit and despite often being in great | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
pain through her cancer - This was at an international event | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
in Ireland last June. But like her charity, | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
her driving force was thinking Cancer is evil. I wouldn't wish it | :19:05. | :19:20. | |
on anyone. The pain, the suffering. Not just for you but I feel more so | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
for mum and dad then I feel for myself, what they are going to have | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
to live the rest of their lives with, what they have had to live | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
with and go through, than me. It is just not fair. It is not fair on | :19:34. | :19:34. | |
anyone. One of those taking | :19:35. | :19:35. | |
to the saddle today is eventer Ben Hobday, | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
who has a personal reasons to take part, | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
a friend of Hannah who was diagnosed with cancer at the same | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
time as she was. I think she would be really proud, | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
very excited. She came to badminton and she came to our yard as well. A | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
very driven young lady with a very wise head on her shoulders. I think | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
she would be very proud of what the whole team have done here. | :20:01. | :20:01. | |
in 1981 following intensive treatment for cancer himself. | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
People have come out in force. I think there was about 600 members of | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
the public applied to write in the race and thankfully I did not have | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
to choose any of them because then I could not upset anybody. | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
the likes of Sir Mark todd, Alice Fox-Pitt and olympic medallist | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
With over ?100,000 expected to be raised | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
Well, we will bring you the last few seconds of the race and we will meet | :20:32. | :20:43. | |
the winning jockey. It was a tough race. The pack stayed together for | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
most of it and there was a member of the Qatar royal family hoping to get | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
the lead and the win but eventually the winning jockey was then more | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
aboard David pipes, three star general. Then it is with us now. You | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
are a flight instructor in the army and used to work for the stables as | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
well. This is your first win at Cheltenham, I take it. Yes, first | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
win. Second is the best I have come before, so it is great to get the | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
win. How does it feel to win? I know you're in it for a personal reason. | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
My daughter Grace has leukaemia and that is the main reason that I | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
decided to apply for the charity raise and it was more sweet that I | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
got the winner as well. So yeah, really pleased. What advice did | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
David give you? He said to jump off handy and see how we go, really. I | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
knew there would be strong pace from the start. And thence we just waited | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
a little bit and picked up nicely. You said earlier that Gracie is | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
doing well. You have also had cancer yourself twice in the past and will | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
know how important it charity like Hannah's is. Yes, it is definitely | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
close to my heart in that I have also had sarcoma in my thigh which | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
we occurred and it has been fabulous to be part of this day and have | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
raised so much money for the charities. Congratulations. Enjoy | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
the rest of the day. As celebrations later. That is Ben Moore, the winner | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
of this race and we think that the charities should benefit well over | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
?100,000. Fantastic effort. That is fantastic. What moving stories from | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
everyone. Cancer is such a terrible thing. And wasn't Hannah a beautiful | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
person? Yes. We had better move on. Ian is upstairs with the weather. | :22:39. | :22:39. | |
Ian. Hello. We will take you through the | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
forecast for tomorrow. We continue the run of effectively dry weather. | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
Much like today, once we have lost the weak front with the rain | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
associated, there will be some showers but a good deal of dry | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
weather and tomorrow brings a broadly similar sort of day in many | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
respects. A fair amount of cloud with some pockets of bright weather | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
during the afternoon. We are injecting a warmer air mass across | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
as as we run through into tomorrow, so inherently it will be a warm day | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
and if the sun does break through and I am sure it will for some of | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
you to the afternoon, it will do pleasant in those conditions, not | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
least as the wind will be liked. Through the rest of this evening, we | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
have had some of these lingering showers running southwards. They | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
will fade away. Then dry during the night. The risk of frost tonight | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
will be reduced. In the south of our viewing area, you may have clear in | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
our skies for it to get relatively cheaply, even here it is minimal | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
risk of frost. For the vast majority, temperatures will settle | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
into 6-9dC as we had through towards daybreak tomorrow. For the most | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
part, there will be cloud around to get things under way tomorrow. As | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
the day wears on, some of that will show signs of becoming more fragile | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
with breaks appearing. Maybe the odd light shower particularly towards | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
the south, but they will be the exception. Most areas dry. The light | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
winds will enhance the mild feel. Even under the cloud, we should get | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
14-15dC. If the sun breaks through, that will be lifted to possibly even | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
17 Celsius. As we continue on into the weekend, it is looking broadly | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
dry through both days. On Saturday, we have that weak cold front running | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
southwards. Colder air behind that. It will be a cooler day on Saturday, | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
but not a market cold one. But if I take you fast forward through the | :24:46. | :25:00. | |
rest of this week, I would not take too literally the cloud amounts. | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
There will be brighter spells. The critical thing is into the start of | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
next week, there will be a much more profoundly cold plunge of error from | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
the Arctic taking shape through Monday. By Tuesday, we will have | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
some showers. That'll the first rain we have seen in some time. Thank | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
you. That sounds really harsh. The overnight temperatures really are | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
cold, especially for fruit growers. It is a bit of a worry. Yes, always | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
a concern for fruit growers. I will see you on the telly later. Bye for | :25:29. | :25:29. | |
now. | :25:30. | :25:37. |
