power cuts to thousands of homes. Now we can join the news | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight: | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
Battered and bruised ` but better than anticipated. The clear`up | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
continues after last night's storm brings down trees and power lines. I | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
feel very sad the building has been damaged but it could have been so | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
much worse and nobody was here to be heart and that is a good thing. Just | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
ten to 20 miles made the difference of gusts of 70 mph and 16 hours per | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
hour. Also tonight: Discrimination in the | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
workplace ` what happened when a Muslim went for a job against a | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
non`Muslim with an identical CV One of the grandmothers gives | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
evidence in the case of the Bristol couple accused of killing their | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
baby. And the Bristol City player | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
celebrating a very special birthday and a first league win. | :01:00. | :01:11. | |
Good evening. The West is recovering this evening after being battered by | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
high winds and heavy rain in last night's storms. Gusts of up to 5 | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
mph caused trees to crash onto buildings and cars in dozens of | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
homes were left without electricity. Somerset and Wiltshire where the | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
worst affected areas in our region. The West walk to a difficult journey | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
to work this morning. And while some could not get started, others wish | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
to be had not tried. Driver of this car escaped serious injury. In | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Wiltshire, a large tree was blown down near Saint Barnabas Church It | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
crashed into the roof of a small site building. Nobody was inside. It | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
was very wet and windy. Gusts of wind were 60 mph. It happened | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
quickly. When I saw that gap in the trees, I ran here as quickly as I | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
could. That could have been someone trapped. It may not look like it, | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
but this church has actually had a lucky escape. The tree which fell on | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
top of the roof landed in the churchyard. Although damage is | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
extensive, it is repairable. I feel very sad that the building is | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
damaged but it could have been so much worse. I went into the | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
building, expecting to see every window smashed, but not one window | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
was broken. I don't know how many damaged gravestones might be under | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
the tree when we move it. It began in the early hours as storms swept | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
in from the Atlantic. Drivers had been warned to take care. In Swindon | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
lanes were closed for most of the day with tailbacks reaching six | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
miles. Some companies cancelled all the trains, but first Great Western | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
soldiered on. There was no electricity at this station. With a | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
bit of patience, people got really wanted to go. The main challenge has | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
been the impact of the wind blowing trees down onto the railway line | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
will stop. We need to get the trees cut up and cleared away. We want to | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
get services back up and running. Homes were without electricity in | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Somerset and Wiltshire after trees came down onto his power lines. Some | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
things are gone for good, this tree at the Bishop 's Palace is a years | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
old but could not survive the storm. It is a big loss because we have had | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
this tree since 1885. It replaced another tree which had fallen in the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
opposite direction. It was a fine specimen. Hopefully we will be | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
planting a new one. As the clean`up continues, we are left to reflect on | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
a night and day that test of resolve but could have been so much worse. | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
It seems that since the storm moved across the West it has become more | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
destructive. After all the warnings, we appear to | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
have escaped lightly. We were very close. It is very | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
difficult to pin these things down until the last minute. This | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
animation shows how things progressed. Here we can see later | :05:10. | :05:28. | |
wins. You'll also gusts of up to 70 mph. That's where we had most of the | :05:29. | :05:45. | |
damage. This is cold, dry air coming down from around three to four | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
kilometres up. This is what caused most of the damage during the last | :05:54. | :06:07. | |
Great Storm. We will have a full forecast at the end of the | :06:08. | :06:08. | |
programme. Great Storm. We will have a full | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
forecast at Other news: The BBC s Inside Out West programme has | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
revealed widespread discrimination against Muslims in the workplace. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
One Muslim and one non`Muslim applied for 14 jobs. All of the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
vacancies were advertised in shop windows. The non`Muslim succeeded 14 | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
times but the Muslim reporter just three times. | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
Being unemployed is a sad reality for many young people in this | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
country. But for young Muslim men the likelihood is much greater. Is | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
the village and affecting their job prospects? To find out, dash`mac is | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
a religion affecting their job prospects? These men wear similar in | :06:58. | :07:09. | |
age and had almost identical CDs but one man wore traditional Islamic | :07:10. | :07:10. | |
dress. In all, the two men applied for 40 | :07:11. | :07:30. | |
jobs advertised in Windows. A Muslim man was only successful in getting | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
the job interviews. The non`Muslim reporter secured 13 interviews and a | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
job offer. One of the businesses they visited was a supermarket which | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
we cannot name. It had adverts in its window for three different jobs. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
The Muslim reporter went in first. When our second reporter in choir at | :07:49. | :08:14. | |
about the store supervisor job ten minutes later, the same member of | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
staff told him that there were vacancies and even helped him with | :08:19. | :08:19. | |
his application form. In this country we have a lot of | :08:20. | :08:41. | |
which protects against discrimination. Individual firms | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
have these policies and we need to make sure that these policies are | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
being applied. Responding to our investigation, the supermarket told | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
us it has a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of discrimination. | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
It is investigating the BBC's findings. | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
Inside Out West will be on after the one show at 730. Stay with us, as | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
there is much more to come tonight, including: Heartbreak for this | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
motorcycle star. We reflect on Scott Redding's courage as he loses out on | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
being the first British champion for 36 years. | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
One of the mothers of a Bristol couple accused of killing your | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
three`month`old baby has told a court how the four and took cannabis | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
every day. It has also been revealed that they were already known to | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
social services before the little girl or dash`mac little girl was | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
taken to hospital. Paris Vince`Stephens died in | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
hospital days after what the prosecution described as | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
catastrophic head injuries. She was brought to the children's Bristol | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
hospital but doctors were unable to save her. The prosecution claim that | :10:09. | :10:19. | |
her mother Danah Vince and her partner either should curb or | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
brought her head into a soft surface. Giving evidence today, Gina | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
's mother said that the couple were always arguing and that the Nevins | :10:29. | :10:39. | |
had thrown him out. With both families sitting in the public doubt | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
gallery, Marie Stephens described that her son had been feeding the | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
baby when she went all floppy and he gave her mouth to mouth will stop | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
them being snatched the baby away, shouting what's going on. It was | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
from this flat but she made a 9 9 call to the ambulance service on | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Friday afternoon. In the early hours of Saturday morning, she sent a text | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
to Marie, telling her that the baby was not well and that if the police | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
called, nothing had happened while she had been hoped that the flat. | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
Marie Stephens admitted that her son suffered from learning difficulties | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
but said there was nothing wrong with his brain. She said that the | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
couple often hate one another and smoked cannabis every day. She said | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
he would never heart a little kid. Both are facing charges of | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
manslaughter and of causing or allowing the death of a child. | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
The Swindon to football player Nile Ranger has appeared to deny charges | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
of rape. The former Newco castle United striker was charged. He was | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
granted bail at head of a trial which is due to take place at the | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
start of next year. A man who ran an illegal meat | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
processing plant which supplied fried chicken to take aways across | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
the West has told a court he is financially ruined. At the premises | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
in Bristol, the toilets were next to food preparation areas and | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
underpants were used to wipe down surfaces. Kamran Ajaib has already | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
admitted eight counts of failing to comply with food hygiene | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
regulations. Today the court heard that he had lied repeatedly to avoid | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
paying back any financial benefit he had made from the business. | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
One of the world's biggest environmental groups has dropped | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
charges over plans to build a new nuclear power station in Somerset. | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
Greenpeace say they remain dubious about the proposals for Hinkley C. | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
Seven days on from the big announcement and Hinkley C is this | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
evening another step closer to actually being built. This time last | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
week, Clinton was keen to it expressed that this had not yet been | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
signed off. That was because there were still several legal challenges | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
in its way, but now one has gone away. The piece is dropping its | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
claim against the government against the granting of planning | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
permission. Greenpeace's challenge was all about nuclear waste. They | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
believe that the government should not be awarding planning permission | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
without first having a long`term plan to deal with radioactive waste. | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
But no Greenpeace have dropped that challenge, saying they believe that | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
the gov`mac's assertion that they will be able to find something, | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
somewhere to dump waste will be accepted by courts. | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
The government disagrees, saying they are looking at solutions. David | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
Cameron once again reiterated his support for Hinkley C today. When, | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
as I hope we will, start building more nuclear power stations, there | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
will be more work for those people to do and more skills and I think it | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
is an important a that we have been out of four too long and we are now | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
getting back into. Is still a challenge by the Irish National | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
trust, and the European Union is yet to rule. But this evening, the | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
problem dash`mac the project is a step closer. | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
In sport, it was a busy weekend Bristol City's long wait for a | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
league win is finally over and we are going to catch up with their | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
hat`trick hero very sharply. It is a big night for the Somerset | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
Rebels as they try to clinch the Premier league title. Our reporters | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
at the track now. Although it is looking wet, the actual competition | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
has survived the weather. If I told you it was not raining ten minutes | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
ago it would have the truth. The heavens have just opened up now The | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
result of that of water on the track behind me now. I have had a walk | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
around it. We will be going ahead at 7:30pm. 15 heats to decide who will | :15:20. | :15:29. | |
be crowned premiership champions. Somerset Rebels need to overturn | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
Edinburgh tonight. They have come close tonight in the 13 years they | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
have been going. Last night the mistake they just one single point, | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
so let us hope that it stays dry and that they can win it this year. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
Let's talk about football. Huge relief for Bristol City to get that | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
first league win. How long had it been since last one? Thankfully not | :15:53. | :16:04. | |
14 years, but 2000 minutes of football. Basically far too long. | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
Supporters were told that this would be difficulties and per Bristol City | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
but I do not think that any of them expected it to be this hard. I have | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
been catching up with the hat`trick hero from the match against Carlisle | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
on Saturday, Jay Emmanuel`Thomas, who believes that the result on | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
Saturday will be a turning point. One is the magic number for Jay | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Emmanuel`Thomas, a first win at the weekend and today a first birthday | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
party for his daughter. She was just four months old when city last won a | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
league game in March, something her dad Putin statically rated Carlisle | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
with the first hat`trick of his senior career. `` her dad | :16:47. | :16:58. | |
ecstatically rated. I never managed to score three in one game before, | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
but it was a very good feeling for me when it came. The 4`2 win takes | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
city of the bottom of the table and eased the pressure that has been | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
building on the head coach, Sean O'Driscoll. He is a good coach and | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
we do not want him to go anywhere. On Saturday it felt like it was | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
getting to a point where this actuation `` the situation was | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
getting Opera to. We had to leave Carlisle with three points and that | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
is what we did. He now has ten goals for the season and his hat`trick won | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
him the signed match ball to keep. It is the sort of performance which | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
could mean that there is light at the end of the tunnel for Bristol. | :17:49. | :17:57. | |
Does this take the pressure off Sean O'Driscoll? It does contain some | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
praising space. It is just one when in 22 games, a lot of room for | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
improvement. It is just as important for the players. They put in a lot | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
of hard work on the training ground. They needed to see some reward for | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
all that hard work that they were putting in. They have got two home | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
matches coming up on Saturday against all the. And then on the | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
following Tuesday against Crawley. If they stay unbeaten and pick up a | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
couple of wins in those matches then you can see that things are | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
improving and the pressure will drop off. If you lose on Saturday I | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
suspect that fans will be calling into BBC Radio Suffolk today with | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
the same old questions. If you want to watch the action again it is on | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
the BBC open air `` calling into BBC radio. And that goal from Wayne | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
Hennessey helped his side and their first home win of the season against | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Nottingham Forest. The goals in that game were not bad either. A bit of | :19:02. | :19:17. | |
sad news, there was huge disappointment for quite chilly s | :19:18. | :19:28. | |
Scott Redding this weekend. Quedgeley's Scott Redding. He | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
crashed on the first lap eight in Japan and his main rival went on to | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
win the race and therefore claim the World Championships. That is all | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
over as far as Scott is concerned. Incredibly proud of what he has | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
achieved the season. He is looking forward to stepping up to Moto GP | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
next season. Keeping an eye on Scott Redding. There is a crash in there. | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
Scott Redding has been brought down! Scott Redding crashes out the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Japanese Grand Prix. And along with it his chance of winning his 20 3 | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
Moto2 title. Back at home it was an uncomfortable watch for his dad It | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
is not nice to see anybody come off, not just because it is your son But | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
especially when you're not there and you cannot do anything. You're | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
waiting for a phone call from his team to let you know how he is | :20:31. | :20:47. | |
doing. He had previously broken his wrist last week. To have it happen | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
again, it is not a nice feeling Scott Redding had been in pole | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
position the whole season, including winning the British Moto2 GP here at | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
Silverstone in June. His hopes of becoming the first Brit to win a | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
motorbike championship since 19 7 may be over, but he's determined to | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
finish second. Want to make a good finish and I have nothing to lose. I | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
may have another crash, but it is possible at the time you go out | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Valencia is last race of the season but Scott Redding has already got | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
his sights on next year. The following day he starts training for | :21:28. | :21:40. | |
the top`flight. No crowning moment for Scott Redding. But we are in the | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
pits tonight for the heat. We will have the pictures for you. Hopefully | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
that crowning moment in our ten o'clock bulletin. Back to one of our | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
top stories, an undercover operation by BBC's Inside Out West programme | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
has identified widespread discrimination in the workplace | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
against Muslims. We can get action now from the MP Stephen Williams. | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
Thank you for joining us. This investigation found a distinct lack | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
of race equality. What is your reaction to all this? From what I | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
have read about it, I have not seen the programme, I was quite horrified | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
that this was still going on. Clearly discrimination is wrong | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
whether it is on gender, race or sexuality. We are always on | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
people's side in these cases and discrimination is unlawful. What you | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
think should happen to the businesses? The individual | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
businesses themselves I am sure would want to give their own side of | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
events, but it is possible that they have committed offences, and if | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
people had been genuinely applying for jobs or flats, they may have a | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
case for damages, that would be what would happen in a real situation. | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
Teasing that this is something that legislation would find it difficult | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
to change? # do you think that this. We have had race relations | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
legislation for many years now. Society's attitudes have changed a | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
lot during that period and clearly the legal framework and the law has | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
a role to play, but you are right, it is down to all of us to challenge | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
discrimination very find it, speak up about, condemn it. Rightly so. | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
The BBC has played an important role here in exposing it will be thought | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
it was not taking place. It is a good job by the BBC but it is | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
worrying that this is taking place. Does it worry you that you have a | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
lot of work still to do to change this? It is a worry and that is why | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
it is important that we continue, right across government, not just my | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
department, to tackle discrimination. Both on the legal | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
side, to have sanctions against Abel who commit discrimination on | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
whatever grounds, but also to bring people together from different | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
backgrounds and that is actually what my department does a lot of | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
good work on, bringing people together from different | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
backgrounds, different faith communities, he might otherwise not | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
meet. They can go to a music festival together are street party. | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
To break down those cultural misunderstandings. Thank you. Let's | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
return to the other big story today, it was last night's storm. | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
It has been very lively in the daylight hours. As we look back | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
towards the story, these are the maximum bus to strengths that we | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
have seen recorded. 70 files mph `` 75 mph. As we look towards tomorrow | :24:55. | :25:08. | |
at least it will be a vastly improved story, many of you will | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
have a dry day, or evade about. Some showers around but no junior is | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
windy `` but nowhere near as windy as we have seen it today. Some very | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
lively showers for some of you, some with hail and thunder. You saw | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
colleague being courted by another cluster just living in from parts of | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
Somerset. It will take off while on the first part of the night for the | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
showers to tend to fade away. A good deal of dry weather about as the | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
winds come more north`westerly. I think West parts of Somerset could | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
be the sport which is most likely to see showers. A continuation of the | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
theme of the afternoon, some dry spot s. It will be quite a chilly | :26:03. | :26:16. | |
night, a breezy one but temperatures could get lower than the values that | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
you are seen here in the countryside. Fives and sixes will be | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
quite difficult to get tomorrow under way. There will be a good deal | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
of sunshine around and so it will continue through the day. Well | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
broken cloud and occasional showers and a few spots. One area where you | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
will see more than anywhere else is likely to be out in this western | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
extreme. Elsewhere, dry, certainly for the vast majority. The winds | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
tomorrow not particularly exceptional. Temperatures tomorrow | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
about 11 or 12 Celsius. We go through Wednesday and into the | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
latter stages of the day with some rain on the way. All the tension is | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
towards the tail end of the week. This will seem like deja vu. | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
Possibly stormy, possibly very windy. | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
I was following him all weekend on Twitter as he was keeping us up to | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
date. Always leaves us on a cliffhanger. | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
Usually a positive one! That's it from us tonight. We are | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
back at ten o'clock, from all of us here, take care. | :27:26. | :27:50. | |
This is Malcolm, who owns Iceland. He's the one | :27:51. | :27:52. | |
that's going to present us with the ten grand. When we win it. | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
You've just got to make it as bearable | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
Here we are in the PR nerve centre of Iceland | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
at the end of 96 hours of total hell. | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
But we haven't tested for dog or cat either. | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
Is this the warmest supermarket around? | :28:11. | :28:13. |
