:00:34. > :00:36.The Met Office is warning the fog forming will be dense by tolorrow

:00:37. > :00:39.morning. The Bishop of Gloucester has

:00:40. > :00:42.launched a campaign aimed at challenging our

:00:43. > :00:44.obsession with image. Called Lie-dentity, it's a response

:00:45. > :00:48.by the Right Reverend Rachel Treweek to a report that found a thhrd

:00:49. > :00:51.of girls are unhappy Images of young people

:00:52. > :00:58.after they were asked which part of themselves they'd most

:00:59. > :01:02.like to hide. The images are part of a calpaign

:01:03. > :01:05.that aims to teach young people You are getting messages

:01:06. > :01:13.about your value and a badgd The Right Reverend Rachel Treweek

:01:14. > :01:18.is the Bishop of Gloucester. She wants to help young people start

:01:19. > :01:21.to see themselves differently. All the time we are judging people

:01:22. > :01:23.and assessing people on their appearance and I do

:01:24. > :01:26.think it has got worse. What I would say is I think

:01:27. > :01:31.the world of social media, the pressures on young

:01:32. > :01:33.people, are different. I was a teenager who was very

:01:34. > :01:36.self-conscious about my bodx, but I didn't have all the pressures

:01:37. > :01:41.of social media upon me. What I want to do is encour`ge these

:01:42. > :01:46.young people to begin changhng the messages that they feel

:01:47. > :01:48.they are receiving from Her campaign comes after

:01:49. > :01:52.new research that showed 33$ of girls aged 10-15 were unhappy

:01:53. > :01:58.about their appearance. Girls who reported negative feelings

:01:59. > :02:01.about their bodies were up from 30% If you say you like the way

:02:02. > :02:08.you look, that's great, but if you don't like the w`y

:02:09. > :02:11.you look that bad. You are meant to have curves

:02:12. > :02:18.but also be really thin. Even if you are proud

:02:19. > :02:23.of something at school, and you do a good piece of work

:02:24. > :02:26.there is always someone who says In an age of social media,

:02:27. > :02:31.many comments, both good and bad, This campaign is trying to shift

:02:32. > :02:35.the focus onto less visible attributes that lie

:02:36. > :02:43.underneath the skin. Chris Calland is an education

:02:44. > :02:46.consultant and body image specialist based in Winscombe,

:02:47. > :03:05.who's given advice to This is a growing problem. Ht is

:03:06. > :03:09.growing. It is starting younger and younger. We are working in primary

:03:10. > :03:12.schools were very young children are already talking about what they look

:03:13. > :03:20.like and being concerned about what they are wearing, in a way that was

:03:21. > :03:26.not happening. How young? Children as young as five and six. The

:03:27. > :03:29.worrying about what they eat, talking about calorie counthng. We

:03:30. > :03:35.need to work with young people. We cannot wait until they are 04 or 15

:03:36. > :03:38.and do a one-off session in a secondary school. It is gre`t it is

:03:39. > :03:44.happening but we need to st`rt again. Is this a new problel? There

:03:45. > :03:52.have always been issues with body image. But there is more prdssure

:03:53. > :03:59.now on young people. There hs a perfect storm, I would say. We are

:04:00. > :04:02.living in this image -based culture, celebrity culture, where we are

:04:03. > :04:08.given the message constantlx do what we look like is the most important

:04:09. > :04:14.thing about us. What can parents and grandparents do? It is diffhcult for

:04:15. > :04:17.parents, their children are under more pressure, they are livhng in

:04:18. > :04:24.what they did not have themselves. But we can help children. Wd need to

:04:25. > :04:29.as parents are saying, it is what is as parents are saying, it is what is

:04:30. > :04:35.on the inside that matters, but we are given a different message by

:04:36. > :04:42.what we are saying, by our body talk, criticism of ourselves. So we

:04:43. > :04:45.need to be good role models. We also need to help children stop

:04:46. > :04:50.questioning the images they are seen because so many are not real. It is

:04:51. > :04:58.not just goes we are talking about, these boys as well? It is a growing

:04:59. > :05:03.issue for boys. 22% of boys cite their bodies as their main concern

:05:04. > :05:07.at the age of ten. We are coming across young boys, 809, talking

:05:08. > :05:11.about wanting a six-pack at that age, and that is becoming

:05:12. > :05:12.normalised, and we need to be mine for the boys need that support as

:05:13. > :05:15.well. One of Britian's most wanted

:05:16. > :05:17.fugitives, who raped a woman in Cheltenham,

:05:58. > :05:59.them, the city is home to over 16,000 students who make up at least

:06:30. > :06:33.just over 1200 students. Interestingly, the new univdrsity

:06:34. > :06:39.came with a ready-made history. It was built on educational fotndations

:06:40. > :06:43.started in Bristol over the previous Hundred years so the Bristol College

:06:44. > :06:48.of science and technology bdcame the new University of Bath. If xou think

:06:49. > :06:52.that in those days, you had a lot of flat roofed buildings, you can

:06:53. > :06:58.imagine they were actually puite cold, not least when you ard on the

:06:59. > :07:02.top of a hill. Today, with over 16,000 students, the fifth

:07:03. > :07:15.Chancellor joined together hn a celebration in Bath Abbey. The party

:07:16. > :07:20.continued on the campus. Bath is a community is already benefiting from

:07:21. > :07:24.what is going on here. The whole bars, the research, the

:07:25. > :07:29.forward-thinking, and bringhng constantly new people into the city.

:07:30. > :07:35.Sport has always played a crucial part of university life. In the

:07:36. > :07:40.early 70s, the first sport was Olympian Tom. He set up the first

:07:41. > :07:45.scholarship in the country. From those early ideas grew our

:07:46. > :07:49.present-day Olympians. Expertise in science, engineering and research

:07:50. > :07:54.have continue to be at its heart. For the past three years, ?0 million

:07:55. > :07:58.per week has been spent on the infrastructure is the campus

:07:59. > :08:06.competes worldwide for potential graduates. The university s`ys it

:08:07. > :08:11.benefits everyone. We emplox 35 0 people actually the Univershty but

:08:12. > :08:17.we employment for many thousands more within our local community The

:08:18. > :08:22.economic influence of the university since it has grown has been

:08:23. > :08:26.absolutely phenomenal. In its five decades, it has become one of the

:08:27. > :08:34.top universities in the country and it intends to keep its position The

:08:35. > :08:41.top of the day, 81714 win for Bath students. As the match the

:08:42. > :08:44.celebrations, the future includes attracting more postgraduatd

:08:45. > :08:47.students and also attracting more world-class research.

:08:48. > :08:49.Bristol City failed to make it through to the quarterfinals

:08:50. > :08:51.of the League Cup tonight after losing to Premier

:08:52. > :08:56.Hull City scored either sidd of the break at Ashton Gate in

:08:57. > :09:04.Lee Tomlin pulled this one back in the dying moments for City

:09:05. > :09:18.We should've played the first team in the beginning. I thought it was a

:09:19. > :09:25.brilliant second half. We played extremely well but it would just not

:09:26. > :09:32.going. You try to put your best team out from the start. You might get a

:09:33. > :09:35.better chance of winning. An own goal in the second half frol

:09:36. > :09:53.Solihull Moors was enough to give the Gloucestershire men the win

:09:54. > :10:00.Not everywhere will see fog tonight but in the areas where you do see

:10:01. > :10:05.it, some of those patches are likely to be dense by tomorrow morning

:10:06. > :10:09.Once we clear that slowly ott of the way, it will be a slow procdss for

:10:10. > :10:13.some of you, it should be a decent enough day. It is looking a dry and

:10:14. > :10:20.bright one. For the rest of the night, temperatures falling in the

:10:21. > :10:24.range of 5-10dC. A lot of variations, depending on how much

:10:25. > :10:28.clear skies we have, and thd fog is subject to a yellow warning from the

:10:29. > :10:36.Met Office. That warning will run through the 10am, so in the dense

:10:37. > :10:40.patches of fog, it may take a good part of that first half of the data

:10:41. > :10:45.finally left. Through the rdst of the day though, varying amotnts of

:10:46. > :10:53.cloud and sunny spells. A sport or two of light rain. But that aside,

:10:54. > :10:59.it should be entirely dry. Temperatures tomorrow, milddr than

:11:00. > :11:00.average, so getting up to 14-16dC and the fog threat returns `s we had

:11:01. > :11:02.through the settled and on the mild side. Nick

:11:03. > :11:11.now has all the national weather. Hello. Autumn is the season of

:11:12. > :11:15.change, most noticeably with those autumn colours on display today in

:11:16. > :11:18.Buckinghamshire, as photographed by one of our weather watchers. Always

:11:19. > :11:21.helps when there is blue sky above. Our weather is always changing

:11:22. > :11:24.regardless of the season. One of those changes is taking place, we

:11:25. > :11:29.are losing last week's Easterly winds and now a westerly wind. That

:11:30. > :11:33.means it's turning milder by day and night but it does mean the return of

:11:34. > :11:38.Atlantic weather fronts, especially to north-western parts of the UK.

:11:39. > :11:42.The reason, high pressure in Germany and low pressure Iceland. Here is

:11:43. > :11:44.the first of those weather fronts for Scotland and Northern Ireland

:11:45. > :11:48.through the night, the first part of tomorrow. There isn't a huge amount

:11:49. > :11:51.of rain associated with this. Could see rain over the hills of northern

:11:52. > :11:56.England and Wales as the night goes on. The odd shower clipping Sussex

:11:57. > :11:59.and Kent. A lot of dry weather for England and Wales. It's mild here,

:12:00. > :12:03.it's milder across the northern half of Britain compared with last night.

:12:04. > :12:06.But the further south you are the closer to that area of high

:12:07. > :12:08.pressure, and we are concerned
