Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
New figures show young people in the South West are the least | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
A third of 18-year-olds apply for uni, well behind | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
And part of Bristol has one of the lowest rates in the country. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Here's our political editor, Paul Barltrop. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Bristol and the South West are prosperous - | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
The south of the city is less well-off, and in educational terms | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Fewer than one in five children growing up around here apply | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
The contrast with next-door North Somerset is stark. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Youngsters in places like Long Ashton, just | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
across the Vale, are two and a half times more likely to | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
This is one of just two secondary schools in the South Bristol | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
Ashton Park encourages pupils to go on to higher | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
It just seemed a bit too daunting, and obviously it's really expensive | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
nowadays to go to university, so I just planned on doing my | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
education here and then moving on to employment. | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
I didn't feel like university was the best option for me at all. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Cos I don't really enjoy school, don't really get on with it. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
The region's universities would dearly like to attract more | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
Certainly if I look at Bristol in particular wards, | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
we have appalling pull-through from populations | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
into not just higher education and universities, | :01:38. | :01:38. | |
but into further education and higher skills education. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
Many head for what is on offer at this south Bristol | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
There to explain why she left full-time education is Casey Abrams. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
I think the big unknown with uni was actually the fear of uni, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
of how I would afford to pay for that and how much debt | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
I would have been in afterwards, which is kind of what threw me more | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
into doing an apprenticeship, because obviously I wouldn't | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
A decent opportunity, reckon experts and politicians, but sending more | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
we've got to universities, Exeter down the road and Bath down the | :02:09. | :02:21. | |
road, and it's a shameful statistic. -- we've got two universities. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
But with schools funding under increasing pressure | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
across the South West, getting pupils to aim | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Police in Bristol are appealing for witnesses, after a car | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
hit a cyclist and drove off without stopping. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
The accident happened this afternoon on the A38 Gloucester Road, leaving | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Just a fortnight after major heart surgery, Cheltenham Town's manager | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
Gary Johnson could be back at the club tomorrow | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
Gary's had heart surgery before, but nothing on the scale of a triple | :02:52. | :03:03. | |
bypass, so he does need to take it slowly! | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
He caught up with our sports editor, Alistair Durden. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
There have been plenty of well-wishers, and from right | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
It's only two weeks since Gary's surgery, but the 61-year-old | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
You don't want something like this, but when something like this | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
happens, it sort of makes you appreciate the work that | :03:31. | :03:42. | |
you're in, the industry that you're in - it's a pretty close-knit | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
family and it's not just the effort of getting the cards, | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
it's the effort of the words that people could in the cards that | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
are overwhelming, and soon I'll get round everybody | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Gary's operation was performed by Dr Alan Brian, whose son Joe | :04:03. | :04:15. | |
And of course where Gary's son Lee is the head coach. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
We had moments where I could talk with Dr Brian about football, | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
but he was very concentrated on my heart as opposed | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
to my managerial career or Joe's football career. | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
I stopped short of saying if I don't come through this | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
then Joe will never play for Bristol City again! | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
As soon as I came round from the operation, the doctor | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
shook me up and said, Mr Johnson, you have to wake up no, | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Gary's current club Cheltenham haven't won a game | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
Although truthfully he has already started working again from home. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
A couple of days ago I needed to speak to the strikers | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
because I felt that wasn't quite performing and I could go | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
there so I still have enough respect that can bring them here. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
They all came here and we had a chat and I should videos | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
They all came here and we had a chat, and we showed them videos | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
and things they can improve on, and I was pleased that | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
We're in a delicate situation at the moment, I know it's just | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
when my wife Florence Nightingale decides that I can get back | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
to the football, then as soon as I feel ready I'll go back | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
A convoy of a hundred yellow cars will roar into the Cotswold village | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
of Bibury tomorrow; it's in support of a pensioner. | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
Peter Maddox lives in one of the most photographed | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
areas in the country - but some tourists didn't like his | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
yellow car being parked there, and claimed it ruined their shots. | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
It was later badly damaged, with the word MOVE | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Steve Knibbs went along to the village. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Yeah, here we are, people have travelled | :05:38. | :05:38. | |
from all over the country - Thirsk, East, West Yorkshire, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
even just four miles away in Northleach to be | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
This convoy of 100 yellow cards proving that | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
bright is beautiful - isn't that right? | :05:47. | :05:47. | |
- is going to be here tomorrow, coming through the village. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
If you want to see it, it's going to be at around 10:30. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
All in honour of course of Peter Maddox, and the problems | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
that he had with his little yellow car on the famous Arlington Road. | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Peter, what has that support from the public meant to you? | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
And what's nice now is you're going to become a colour, | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
because Vauxhall are going to name... | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
So a great day in prospect tomorrow - the village will have | :06:13. | :06:25. | |
Steve Knibbs, BBC Points West, in Bibury. | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
That's your late update from the West. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Your weekend weather coming up now with Ian, | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Hello and a very good evening to you, we're going to split | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
the weekend quite conveniently into two separate halves of weather | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
- Saturday is going to be a story of sunny spells and showers, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
some of those will be quite heavy in places, | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
and conversely on Sunday after a chilly start it's | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
going to be dry and settled day, I suspect actually with plenty | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Now, through the rest of tonight we're going to find gradually a band | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
of showery rain which has been affecting western areas just | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
creeping its way further eastwards - temperatures broadly about 8 or 9 | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
And by that stage, albeit many of you getting up to a dry | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
start there will already be some showers around, and that's really | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
settlng the tone then through the rest of Saturday, | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
with some sunny spells proving quite prolonged if you're lucky, | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
in other cases though you will be getting some showers | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
which will be heavy, possibly thundery in places, | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
and slowly, slowly fading away through the course | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
Now, temperatures tomorrow will be a bit down on today, | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
so about 13 to 15 Celsius - pleasant enough, mind | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
you, in the sunshine - and it will certainly be that way | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
on Sunday, with much more in the way of sunshine around. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
That's it from me; here's a look at your national forecast. | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
Hello. There the weekend is here and Sunday looks like being the better | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
day of the two. We're going to start the weekend, a new month, with | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
sunshine and April showers. Those fade away overnight. Saturday night | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
could be chilly. It points to a fine day on Sunday. This picture was | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
taken by a weather watcher to end the day in Dundee. This one is | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
probably my favourite of the day. This was taken at Yarmouth in the | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Isle | :08:01. | :08:01. |
