Thank you Jane, evening everyone and welcome along to Wednesday's Points West.

Amanda with you tonight, coming up on the programme.

Another hosepipe ban is announced, this time by Bristol Water, which hasn't had a hot weather one for 50 years.

Are customers bothered?

I'm surprised it's so late, if I'm honest.

Hosepipe ban?

Probably not.

No, I've got a water bottle.

We ask how long it's likely to be in place.

Also on the programme, concerns that signs of autumn are happening a bit too early.

I'll be finding out how the hot, dry weather means pumpkins like these are ripening months ahead of schedule.

We chat to the inspirational balloon pilot from Bristol who smashed a world record at this year's Fiesta.

A challenge with a powerful story behind it. And making hyphens history.

hear about the campaign to ditch the dash in Bradford-on-Avon.

Evening.

First tonight, Bristol Water is introducing a hosepipe ban that comes into force tomorrow, just as it seems the weather is changing a bit and we could be in for some rain.

So why have they done it now and how long is it likely to last?

Our reporter Scott Ellis has been finding out.

A host pipe ban for Bristol and yet if you look at the Chew Valley Reservoir, it's nowhere near as low as it was last year.

The problem is we've had a long, hot, dry spell.

Bristol Water wants to save the water here and at Blagdon, at the Cheddar Reservoir and at the tanks at Barrow

and instead it takes more than half our water from the River Severn and that is where the problem lies.

The UK's longest river and the Welsh reservoir which feeds into it are suffering in the dry conditions.

The Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales have applied for a drought order on

that river because the source is under strain and we felt strongly

that because this source needs protection that we would implement a hosepipe ban to protect that water coming down from North Wales.

The ban starts at midnight, Bristol Water telling customers they must not use hosepipes for non-essential purposes,

and this includes using a hosepipe to water your garden, wash your car, fill a paddling pool, swimming pool or hot tub, clean your patio or driveway,

or to clean walls and windows.

Some customers and all businesses are exempt from the ban.

We asked back garden owners near Bristol Water's head office what they thought of the first ban in over 50 years.

I was thinking that it was a little bit late in coming in, because it's been such a hot July and August.

I think, well, it's not going to affect us too much, because we've got a water butt, so we've not been necessarily using the hosepipe.

My partner does it, he does use a hose.

But at the moment, there's not much point doing it, because it's so hot, by the time you water it, it dies anyway.

We asked Bristol Water when the hosepipe ban will be lifted.

We need sustained rainfall, rainfall and we do need our reservoirs to recover, the reservoirs and wells to recover and also we need to bear in mind

that there's already a forecast for next year of being a dry hot summer

so we need to prepare for that as well

so we need to make sure there's a substantial recovery before we remove the ban.

This is Bristol Water's first drought related hosepipe ban since the long hot summer of 1975.

was followed by a dry winter and water rationing as the heat continued into 1976.

Scott Ellis, BBC Points West.

So with temperatures still on the warm side, this long hot summer seems to be reluctant to leave.

Or is it?

You may have noticed that some trees are already shedding their leaves

and berries and fruits we usually expect to ripen around September time are weeks ahead of themselves.

Georgia Eady reports on why these signs of an early autumn are causing concern.

This should be teeming with ripe blackberries but look because of the drought they've just shriveled up and dropped off.

It's not just the quality of the berries

but it's also just how early they've ripened this year that shocked experts like Steve.

He's spent his life in and around Stoke Park in Bristol.

It was always at my school holidays around about August, September.

Now I picked my first ripe blackberry June the 27th, 2026.

And that's just not right because it's come forward about two months.

They should be twice that size.

He's worried about the impact this will have on wildlife this autumn.

Birds that come from the Arctic Circle like the field fairs and red wings.

The minute they get into this country, they've had a long flight they're really hungry.

They get here and there's no berries.

There's no food.

In Gloucestershire it's not just the berries that are early.

That's a lovely wine.

You can feel it.

Pumpkins are almost ripe and ready weeks ahead of schedule.

They've got a long way to go to make it to Halloween.

Other years we've been waiting for them to ripen in October

and waiting for a bit of sunshine to give them that colour and it's not come.

Potentially we might have to get them into storage to keep them dry

so they don't suffer with any rots later on in the autumn if eventually it does rain.

If it stays dry, they could well just hang on there and be fine.

There is some much-needed rain on its way over the next week or so, but is it too little too late?

I mean, nature has amazing resilience.

It adapts to a range of extremes.

The problem is we've changed those extremes.

We have record temperatures, we have record low rainfall then we break nature's capacities to respond and the system begins to disintegrate.

So what we're seeing now shouldn't surprise us.

What should surprise us is how complacent we've been in not doing anything about the causes which we know all about.

Although we can already see the impact of the dry and hot weather,

it'll be in years to come when we'll really see who will be nature's winners and losers in this ever-changing climate.

Georgia Eadie, BBC Points West, Bristol.

Gloucestershire has its first case of blue-tongue disease.

It mainly affects sheep and cattle and can lead to infertility, miscarriage and birth defects.

Farmers are being advised to vaccinate their livestock.

The government say they're monitoring the situation closely.

There have already been reported cases in Somerset in this latest outbreak of the disease.

And as you may have seen in the national news, Prince Harry and his family have flown back to the UK today after living in America for the last six years.

The BBC understands they landed in Birmingham and are planning on settling down somewhere in the Cotswolds.

They'll live in Britain as non-working royals with many questions still unanswered about who will pay for their security.

It's believed their two children have been enrolled in school with the new term due to start next week.

And I hope it's not too stressful in your household working out what still fits

and where all the glue sticks have gone, hasn't the summer flown?

Well, maybe it hasn't.

You're watching Points West still to come between now and 7.

And there might be some stormy weather ahead.

Ian's getting ready with his forecast.

And if it's not stormy, it's certainly very wet.

First half of tomorrow in particular, a Met Office yellow warning for thunderstorms coming into force at 5 o'clock in the morning.

I'll have the details later.

100

Next, a major new research project in Bristol is seeking to improve understanding of heavy periods and their impact on women's lives.

101

The study will follow participants on a daily tracking app and will monitor energy levels, sleep and mood.

102

By gathering samples from thousands of women, scientists hope to find ways to help those who suffer every month.

103

Here's our health correspondent, Matthew Hill.

104

Horrific.

105

I'm in pain every day.

106

For Marie, heavy periods have been a part of life since she was a teenager.

107

I'm currently not on any pain management because I have so many other conditions going on.

108

And I'm looking at getting a uterus-only hysterectomy so that I can come off of contraception.

109

Now she's supporting a major new study she hopes could help other women get answers faster.

110

Heavy menstrual bleeding affects up to half of women worldwide.

111

For some, it can mean periods lasting more than a week, needing to change protection every couple of hours,

112

passing large blood clots and suffering exhaustion caused by iron deficiency.

113

But despite affecting millions, researchers say menstrual health remains poorly understood.

114

At the Universities of Bristol and Exeter,

115

scientists are launching what's expected to become the world's largest biobank of menstrual fluid samples from women in their mid-30s.

116

Thousands of volunteers will track symptoms, sleep, mood, energy levels and well-being through an app and questionnaires.

117

They'll also provide menstrual fluid samples using specially designed sanitary pads.

118

So when this area in the middle is full, they can just remove this.

119

The samples will be linked to health and genetic information already collected through long-running studies, including children of the 90s.

120

Researchers hope that combination of biological samples and real-time health data will reveal new clues about what's happening inside the body.

121

So we're looking at menstrual fluid comparing people with heavy menstrual bleeding, for example, to people who don't have heavy menstrual bleeding.

122

and then any signature that we see there might tell us something about what's causing that symptom.

123

The hope is that identifying biological markers in menstrual fluid could eventually lead to earlier diagnosis,

124

more personalised treatments and better support for women living with heavy periods.

125

They're the professionals, they're the scientists, but anything can help, whether you just give, like, if you've got some what's known as spotting,

126

so literally just a spot of blood versus having an extremely heavy period.

127

Once the biobank's established, it's hoped more volunteers can also take part to help shed light on an area

128

that so far has been mainly ignored.

129

Matthew Hill, BBC Points West.

130

Now, as a balloon pilot, Jo Bailey is very used to the ups and downs of her sport.

131

But a year ago, the lows became very low indeed when she became dangerously ill with a twisted colon.

132

She spent weeks in hospital, underwent several surgeries, including being fitted with a stoma, but always determined to stay positive.

133

She challenged herself to set a world record at this year's Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.

134

And after official verification, Guinness have confirmed that she is now a world record holder.

135

She joins me now. So welcome.

136

You're very, very welcome.

137

It's lovely to see you, old friend. And you did it.

138

You smashed it.

139

I did it.

140

Yes.

141

Just remind us what you had to do, what you had to beat, and how it went.

142

So basically, in a hopper balloon, a small balloon, I had to go up and down above 10 feet, then come down to feet on the ground, and then go up and down as many times in an hour.

143

And the Guinness set it at 30 up and downs.

144

And in my practice, I'd only done 40 minutes.

145

I couldn't even get to the hour.

146

I got too tired.

147

And then I managed to do 68.

148

My timekeepers actually didn't have enough paper because I thought I'd only get up to 40.

149

And another one, and another one.

150

That's amazing.

151

Why did you call the challenge Paloma's big lift-off?

152

Because in a year, I've got a permanent idiostomy stoma who I call Paloma.

153

And I decided when the anniversary was at the end of May, beginning of June, and I felt really down and I couldn't shake myself.

154

And I just thought, come on, Jo, you need to set yourself a challenge.

155

I was on my own on a beach

156

and thought right what am I going to do I could do something

157

and I thought well I'm a balloonist I could do something with a balloon

158

and I came up with a stupid idea

159

which I didn't even mention to Clive for a couple of weeks

160

and then I spoke to Danny at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta

161

and as soon as I told them both I went yes you have to do it

162

which I knew I would have to do it

163

but here I am I did it and there it is it must have got pretty dark back there for a time, how did you find that strength?

164

Where did you find that mental willpower to get back to chasing adventure?

165

I think even in hospital, and I did think at some point I actually wouldn't come out alive.

166

I did think I was gonna die.

167

I didn't think I'd ever get out of hospital.

168

My wound only healed in the end of December.

169

So it's taken me a long time and I'm still healing.

170

But I did affirmations all the time in hospital.

171

I really tried to keep myself positive.

172

And when I could get out, I started to walk.

173

I do my Pilates.

174

But I love being outside.

175

And I still now listen to affirmations songs.

176

So it's just keeping positive.

177

And you're lifting other people as well, because you've got a big thing going on social media, haven't you?

178

It's called the Paloma Diaries.

179

So it started as a bit of a therapy for me when I came out of hospital.

180

But then I realised I was actually helping others and people really liked my stories because I was open and honest.

181

And it's still going on.

182

And briefly, you've helped a bunch of charities too.

183

Yes, I have.

184

ICU Pathways course at Southmead.

185

Honestly, they changed my life.

186

I was very lucky to go on the course.

187

And it moved me from being in trauma to looking forward.

188

and also Crohn's and Collider's, who are an amazing charity who support and research.

189

Amazing.

190

Well, we couldn't be prouder of you.

191

You've done amazingly.

192

You're much loved in the ballooning world all across Bristol, and they've been right behind you all the way through this, haven't they?

193

So, well done.

194

You make yourself proud.

195

Thank you.

196

Fabulous to see you again, Jo.

197

Now then, there are lots of interesting local articles up on the BBC News website.

198

Tonight, as always, here are some you might just fancy reading.

199

Parking prices are due to go up in Wiltshire for the first time in four years.

200

They'll rise on the 1st of September.

201

The council says it'll cover increasing costs.

202

Some are calling it a kick in the teeth.

203

Scrap store North Somerset has been saved.

204

It's secured grant funding to carry on collecting donated materials for local art projects, but they're still going to need to fundraise going forward.

205

And what to do next with this first of its kind, and Roman Miller found last year by housing developers in the Forest of Dean.

206

There are ongoing talks about whether the council should buy the site.

207

You can find all those stories and more on the BBC News website and app.

208

Now, we love a hyphen here in the West, don't we?

209

Whether it's in Western Supermare or down the coast in Burnham-on-Sea.

210

But how about in Bradford-on-Avon?

211

To dash or not to dash?

212

Well, now a campaign has been launched to...

213

Ditch the dash, as some townsfolk think that it's perfect without punctuation.

214

Here's Pete Simpson.

215

What's in a name?

216

Well, if the name's Bradford-on-Avon, the answer is, of course, a river, but definitely not hyphens.

217

But that hasn't stopped a dastardly spread of unwanted dashes, either on physical signs or all over the digital world.

218

This man has suffered a lifetime of hyphens and now wants to do something about it.

219

So, as a local, I've been frustrated probably since I was about 15, or it bothered me, maybe is a better phrase,

220

that when I used to come into Bradford, road sizes didn't match.

221

Some have hyphens, some don't, and there was inconsistencies in the way Bradford-on-Avon was spelt.

222

The story goes that the hyphens were first used at the train station here, part of the Great Western Line at the turn of the century.

223

They've been sliding into everyday use ever since.

224

Well you would hope that official town council signage would be dramatically correct

225

but look a little bit closer even in an official notice board and the hyphens are creeping in.

226

Not that everyone has a problem.

227

Does it really matter?

228

Feels like there are much bigger things to to be worried about in this world?

229

No hyphen.

230

No hyphen.

231

OK.

232

And does it bother you that there seems to be quite a lot of places where hyphens are present?

233

Not really, no. No. No, no, no. You've got better things to worry about?

234

Absolutely.

235

I always just say BOA, B-O-A.

236

That's how I call it.

237

Much easier and less time consuming.

238

Yeah.

239

Changing signs is one thing.

240

But how on earth can Tom rewrite Bradford-on-Avon on all of the internet?

241

Wikipedia now use hyphens, TripAdvisor use hyphens, Google use hyphens.

242

So we're trying to right this wrong, essentially, from a local perspective.

243

Before it's too late, AI learns off content online, as we all know.

244

So the sooner we do it, which is why we want people's help, the more chance we have of correcting this challenge.

245

If you think his grammar crusade against big tech is futile, just as we're about to wrap up some news.

246

Tom, come back, come back.

247

You're still rolling.

248

Amazing.

249

been in touch and they're going to drop the hyphens from their maps.

250

That is an amazing start to the campaign.

251

Maybe he can make hyphens history after all.

252

Pete Simpson, BBC Points West, Bradford on Haven.

253

One small victory at a time.

254

Now over the last few weeks we've been meeting some fantastic finalists from this year's Make a Difference Awards

255

and tonight it's the turn of Somerset and I'm delighted to introduce you to the appropriately named Gavin Stepp, who's nominated in the active category.

256

Welcome to the programme.

257

You've been nominated for the work you do with Huish Tigers FC, so tell us who they are and how that all came about.

258

Yeah, so they're a community football club in Taunton.

259

Just over 10 years ago now, my son was five.

260

He had a number of friends.

261

And I just thought there was an opportunity to maybe do something a bit different around community sport

262

and football and set a team up, well it wasn't even a team, a group for him and his friends to have a bit of a kick around

263

and they were about 10 at the time and it kind of snowballed

264

and has got a little bit out of control and we just over, we celebrated our 10th anniversary last year.

265

And how many of you are there now?

266

There are 50 volunteers for starters.

267

Yeah that's right, so over 50 volunteers and over 400 registered players at the club.

268

400, so that grew, that small idea.

269

How does it make you feel when you're standing on the sideline and watching what you've created?

270

Yeah, I feel incredibly proud knowing the amount of opportunity

271

that sort of the hard work of the incredible team of volunteers is providing for boys,

272

girls and even some adults now as we've sort of grown to provide some adult football also.

273

Brilliant, keeping everyone going.

274

The Tigers aren't the only big cats that you work with, Give us an idea of your day job.

275

Yeah, so I'm the Women's Technical Director at the Football Association.

276

So I work with all of the England national teams from our seniors right the way through to our under 15s.

277

Wow, right in the thick of it.

278

Yeah.

279

And it's an exciting time.

280

Yeah, it's an incredible time.

281

So we've got a little bit of work to do left

282

that would hopefully qualify us for the World Cup next summer in Brazil.

283

And our under-20s are due to fly out to Poland next week for the under-20 World Cup as well.

284

Brilliant.

285

What do the teams, all the teams you work with across the spectrum, what do you think they could teach each other?

286

Yeah, I think probably one of the most important things is to just remember why you started playing football.

287

and I look at our community players at Hughish Tigers

288

and just that love of turning up

289

and playing for the real love of the game and I see

290

that in lots of our aspiring England players and senior professional players as well, just remembering what it was that started them playing football.

291

So much inspirational crossover.

292

Look, Gavin, you're clearly so appreciated by all the people

293

that are around you so congratulations for getting this off the ground and getting so far with it.

294

It's brilliant.

295

Well done.

296

Thank you.

297

Thank you.

298

Now next, a family business that's been making ice cream for over a century is to close.

299

Tars has been a much-loved tradition in Bristol since it began in 1920.

300

Their vanilla ice cream has been judged the best in the UK more than 20 times.

301

The family says it's now much too tough to run a small business and once they've used up their remaining ingredients,

302

then they'll shut up shop for good in the autumn.

303

Now, the music world has been paying tribute to Dolly Parton.

304

She played at Glastonbury Festival in 2014, you remember, and today the organiser Emily Evis described her as an untouchable legend.

305

Alice Bovary has been looking back through the archives.

306

Our family, we're going to be playing with our good sister and second half, second cousin, third and five.

307

I lose count now.

308

Best person was probably Dolly Parton.

309

Absolutely Francesc.

310

I didn't love her.

311

Dolly Parton was good.

312

Obviously, like, she brought a massive crowd in.

313

Good girl.

314

Good girl.

315

At the end of the festival that year, a dog was found abandoned in a tent.

316

Rescuers named her Dolly, with the superstar hinting she'd adopt her if her owners didn't come forward.

317

I was very honoured and very flattered that they named her after me

318

and we'll take good care of her if that should turn out to be what we have to do.

319

But in the meantime, let's try to get them together.

320

It came out of the blue, so her management just rang and said Dolly is very keen on adopting Dolly the dog.

321

The dog was eventually reunited with her family, so the adoption never happened.

322

But Dolly Parton's links with the West Country still survive through an organisation called the Imagination Library,

323

a childhood literacy programme the singer founded 30 years ago.

324

The first one in Somerset was set up just this year in Chard, with every child under five being gifted a free book every month.

325

So Chard does sort of have pockets of deprivation, and we know that reading is a super important thing for children at every stage of their life, just in terms of building vocabulary and building understanding.

326

Dolly Parton's family say supporting the Imagination Library is the best way to honour her legacy.

327

What a force of nature, Such an outpouring of tributes as well.

328

She will be so missed right around the world.

329

Shall we check on the weather now?

330

Ian's here.

331

It's a bit wet, a bit of rain coming up.

332

Indeed, there will be.

333

It was a very different start this morning, mind you, as you can see just out west of Bridgewater, a very pleasant morning there at Otterhampton.

334

It won't look like that tomorrow morning at least.

335

Quite a different story indeed, as we start to import a period of rain spreading up from the south late tonight into tomorrow morning.

336

and there will be a tendency for some of that to start to turn quite heavy, potentially thundery, hence the Met Office yellow warning for thunderstorms, you can see roughly, let's call it about the M4 northwards,

337

but I'd blur the edges of that, and the start time has been revised just recently by the Met Office, brought forward to 5 o'clock in the morning,

338

rather than the previous 6 o'clock in the morning.

339

Now within the warning area at least, and potentially just outside it, there will be the threat at least of some very heavy downpours through the first part of the day,

340

could be a difficult commuting period.

341

The risk of some lightning, of some hail and as we were mentioning earlier in the programme because we've got all the drought stress effects on trees,

342

plentiful leaves down for many areas, of course all of that could get washed out into roadside drains

343

and the like and cause yet further exacerbation of localised flooding problems.

344

So a few things to consider there like I said at least for the first half of the day.

345

Now by contrast by midday today it was looking bone dry everywhere.

346

If I run the sequence through of late

347

You'll see showers started to break out out to the northeast of us and with time

348

One or two of those started to show their hand a little bit closer through parts of Oxfordshire

349

But a Met Office yellow warning for thunderstorms currently in force for Gloucestershire Looks like it probably will expire with nothing happening,

350

but we shall see What will happen though is this area

351

of low pressure spreading up this frontal zone through the course

352

of tomorrow morning Giving the threat of some very heavy rain in places and as

353

that drifts its way northwards the day will improve barring some

354

showers for some Some further outbreaks of showery rain liable to arrive through the course of Friday, particularly around the late morning middle part of the day.

355

Then a bit of a lull before this next area of low pressure gears up to give some further rain

356

as we head through into Saturday.

357

So it's a sort of on-off tap really of some further rainfall.

358

The forecast model was showing the potential at least for some showers in Gloucestershire.

359

Could yet happen I suppose.

360

But this is the main action developing through the early hours onwards.

361

Now I would stress do not take literally where you're seeing these bursts of heavier rain, the green colours for example, because some forecast models have a much more extensive band of

362

that across a good part of the region through the course of the early part of the morning onwards.

363

So that's why the risk of any of this happening pretty much anywhere should be considered.

364

It will be a warm sort of humid night prior to all of that starting to happen.

365

Tomorrow morning, whatever we do have of all of this, will slowly clear its way northwards through the first part of the day.

366

There will be scope for some further heavy showers, particularly in this zone here, I suspect.

367

But elsewhere, looking drier, looking brighter, the day will improve with time and it will still be a day warmer than average for the time of year, getting through about the low 20s.

368

Interesting times ahead, Ian.

369

/æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: dash /ˈdæʃ/, affirmation /æfɝˈmeɪʃn/, smash /smæʃ/, scrap /ˈskɹæp/, abandon /əˈbæn.dən/
/r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: menstrual /ˈmɛn.stɹu.əl/, reservoir /ˈɹɛz.ə(ɹ).vwɑɹ/, drought /ˈdɹaʊ̯t/, berry /ˈbɛɹi/, thunderstorm /ˈθʌn.dɚˌstɔɹm/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
