A man has been arrested for the news where you are.

:00:10.:00:12.

following the death of a baby in Bristol.

:00:13.:00:15.

Police officers and paramedics were called to a property

:00:16.:00:17.

in Britton Gardens in Kingswood in the early hours of Christmas Day.

:00:18.:00:22.

Despite their efforts, the baby, who was six months old, died.

:00:23.:00:25.

Drivers on the M5 in Somerset and near Bristol

:00:26.:00:30.

after stretches were closed due to icy conditions.

:00:31.:00:35.

The Avonmouth Bridge and the M49 into Wales

:00:36.:00:38.

Three accidents meant there there were long delays

:00:39.:00:42.

The closures effectively cut off motorway access

:00:43.:00:46.

into and out of Wales for several hours.

:00:47.:00:51.

The Somerset teenager whose family were forced to pay

:00:52.:00:53.

for a potentially life-saving bone-marrow transplant

:00:54.:00:55.

say he's hoping to go back to school soon.

:00:56.:00:58.

Daryl Allinson celebrated his 14th birthday on Christmas Eve.

:00:59.:01:01.

Clinton Rogers went to see him at his home in Frome.

:01:02.:01:08.

they wondered if he would even be here for Christmas 2016.

:01:09.:01:17.

Now the family has new hope, new optimism for the future.

:01:18.:01:22.

Daryl has been through much in his young life, but

:01:23.:01:24.

five months after his second bone-marrow transplant, he says

:01:25.:01:26.

You have put on weight since I last saw you.

:01:27.:01:36.

Are you feeling better? Yes, I feel so much better.

:01:37.:01:39.

More energy, wanting to do more stuff.

:01:40.:01:43.

I am just over the moon, I am so pleased, I am so proud of him.

:01:44.:01:53.

I just can't thank everybody enough for their generosity.

:01:54.:01:58.

It was the public's generosity in raising close to ?100,000

:01:59.:02:01.

on a crowd-funding website that allowed Daryl to have

:02:02.:02:05.

a second bone-marrow transplant at Bristol Children's Hospital.

:02:06.:02:11.

The first transplant failed, and his rare leukaemia returned.

:02:12.:02:15.

At that point, NHS England turned down the funding

:02:16.:02:18.

for a second operation based largely on its chances of success.

:02:19.:02:22.

At the time, they said these were difficult decisions to make.

:02:23.:02:28.

No-one knows what the future holds, but the boy who celebrated his 14th

:02:29.:02:32.

birthday on Christmas Eve says that if he continues to recover well,

:02:33.:02:35.

he hopes to start back at school in the spring -

:02:36.:02:40.

and then return to his true love, football.

:02:41.:02:49.

Rugby, and Gloucester ran out in front of a crowd of 77,500

:02:50.:02:53.

against Harlequins at Twickenham this afternoon.

:02:54.:02:55.

The visitors fought back hard in the second half,

:02:56.:02:57.

putting the ball over the line three times,

:02:58.:03:00.

with tries from Gareth Evans, James Hook

:03:01.:03:03.

and a first Premiership try from Motu Matu'u.

:03:04.:03:06.

with a final score of Harlequins 28, Gloucester 24.

:03:07.:03:13.

So after today's cold but beautiful day,

:03:14.:03:15.

what will the weather do next? Sarah Farmer has the forecast.

:03:16.:03:21.

Hello and a very good evening to you.

:03:22.:03:23.

Now, we do have another cold night on the cards.

:03:24.:03:26.

and we've got some fog as well to contend with.

:03:27.:03:33.

That patchy fog could well be a problem.

:03:34.:03:35.

We do have a yellow weather warning in place from the Met Office,

:03:36.:03:38.

which is valid from midnight tonight right through until midday tomorrow.

:03:39.:03:40.

perhaps some freezing fog in the mix as well.

:03:41.:03:44.

So we will see a chilly and grey start to the day

:03:45.:03:49.

for most tomorrow morning, some of that fog will be stubborn,

:03:50.:03:52.

but we could start to see some more brightness developing,

:03:53.:03:55.

particularly the further west you are,

:03:56.:03:58.

those temperatures could creep up to around eight or nine degrees.

:03:59.:04:04.

But where we stick with the fog, and cloud through much of the day,

:04:05.:04:07.

those temperatures really are going to struggle.

:04:08.:04:13.

Now, as we take a look ahead to Thursday, that high pressure

:04:14.:04:16.

that we've had with us the last couple of days stays put,

:04:17.:04:19.

so we've got that settled theme right through

:04:20.:04:21.

It means we will stick with a fair amount of cloud,

:04:22.:04:25.

but it looks like we should stay dry.

:04:26.:04:27.

So here is your summary, then, for the coming days -

:04:28.:04:30.

yes, we do have that weather warning in place through tomorrow morning,

:04:31.:04:33.

but it looks like we will start to see

:04:34.:04:35.

some brighter skies developing later in the day.

:04:36.:04:37.

Then towards the tail end of this week, cloudy conditions,

:04:38.:04:39.

It looks like it will still feel rather cold, particularly

:04:40.:04:43.

with that cloud coverage, but as we go towards the New Year,

:04:44.:04:46.

it looks like we'll see some crisp and bright conditions to start 2017.

:04:47.:04:55.

And that is it from the team, we will be back bright and early in

:04:56.:04:59.

Breakfast.

:05:00.:05:01.
