the north and west. That's all from the BBC news at six.

:00:00.:00:10.

Welcome to Points West. The headlines: allegations of modern`day

:00:11.:00:20.

slavery. Police investigate reports of forced labour and human

:00:21.:00:24.

trafficking after three men are taken to a safe house.

:00:25.:00:29.

The Gloucestershire arrester cracked facing jail after admitting he beat

:00:30.:00:33.

his wife. The ?35 million project to bring

:00:34.:00:38.

more shops and jobs to Swindon. And after an attack that left him

:00:39.:00:40.

brain`damaged, the aspiring footballer back on those pitch and

:00:41.:00:49.

aiming for glory. Good evening. Three men who are

:00:50.:00:56.

believed to be the victims of slavery are still being cared for

:00:57.:00:59.

tonight in a safe house, following weekend raids by the police. It

:01:00.:01:02.

follows an investigation into forced labour and human trafficking across

:01:03.:01:05.

the West. This afternoon, a second man was bailed by the police pending

:01:06.:01:09.

further inquires. In a moment, we'll be discussing a modern`day slavery

:01:10.:01:11.

bill which is going before Parliament. But first, Laura Jones

:01:12.:01:13.

reports. Early Sunday morning ` and the

:01:14.:01:16.

police move in. A series of coordinated raids on travellers

:01:17.:01:19.

sites, homes and a business across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and

:01:20.:01:24.

Somerset. Two people are arrested on suspicion of slavery offences ` one

:01:25.:01:27.

has since been released on police bail. `` both have been bailed. The

:01:28.:01:36.

raids are part of what Avon and Somerset Police describe as an

:01:37.:01:38.

ongoing and dynamic inquiry. Three men ` believed to be victims of

:01:39.:01:43.

slavery ` one in his 30s, one in his 40s and one in his 50s ` have been

:01:44.:01:47.

taken to a place of safety, where they're being offered counselling

:01:48.:01:50.

and support. This is the latest in a series of high`profile cases

:01:51.:01:55.

involving allegations of slavery. It may seem shocking, but for Mark

:01:56.:01:59.

Ovenden, it's no surprise at all. The 27`year`old from North Somerset

:02:00.:02:03.

was held as a slave for nearly a year. Typically, I would be up at

:02:04.:02:13.

4am, bundled into the back of a van, and Joan for two or three hours to a

:02:14.:02:18.

suburb of London. Once we were there, we would work for up to 8

:02:19.:02:27.

hours. We be there until nine or ten or 11 at night. We would have one

:02:28.:02:32.

meal, a small fast food children's meal. Then we would be driven home

:02:33.:02:38.

where we would clean the site, brushing the arts and cleaning

:02:39.:02:45.

caravans, things like that. You eventually went to bed at God knows

:02:46.:02:48.

what time of the morning, and walk up the next day and carries on. ``

:02:49.:02:55.

woke up the next day. The Bristol`based charity Unseen says it

:02:56.:02:58.

believes there could be up to 6 00 more people like Mark in the UK

:02:59.:03:04.

today. 200 years ago, it was easy to identify slaves. They were shackled

:03:05.:03:08.

and on the docks. Nowadays, shackles are psychological. These people have

:03:09.:03:15.

violence threatened against them, the worst and could be entered it

:03:16.:03:20.

bondage, and find it very difficult to leave. Mark's ordeal began after

:03:21.:03:31.

he was approached at a soup kitchen. People don't get it, and they ask me

:03:32.:03:35.

why I didn't run, but it's not as simple as that. The whole thing is

:03:36.:03:42.

both bizarre and quite disturbing, knowing the scheme of it. Very

:03:43.:03:47.

disturbing. Mark has been three for three years and is rebuilding his

:03:48.:03:51.

life, trying to help others in similar situations.

:03:52.:03:54.

Well, next week a modern day slavery bill will go before Parliament.

:03:55.:03:58.

Let's cross now to Westminster to talk to Christian Guy, from the

:03:59.:04:01.

Centre for Social Justice, which has been involved in a report into

:04:02.:04:04.

slavery which has helped lead to this bill. Do we really need a bill

:04:05.:04:14.

for this? We do, we have needed one for very `` much parted long, but

:04:15.:04:20.

the government has just stepped up. People assume it is a problem for

:04:21.:04:27.

the mac from the past, when the slave trade was dealt with, but

:04:28.:04:32.

unfortunately, it is now the second largest international trade, behind

:04:33.:04:36.

the drug trade. It happened here, not just abroad. It is high time we

:04:37.:04:41.

have this bill, and off we get it right, it could be an important

:04:42.:04:46.

moment for the country. We heard the phrase invisible handcuffs, how do

:04:47.:04:51.

you recognise and identify modern sleeves? There are tell`tale signs,

:04:52.:05:00.

and people have to learn to spot them. People in the system will see

:05:01.:05:07.

victims of slavery, and they were often be treated as criminals and

:05:08.:05:13.

not victims, because it is hard to identify that. There are huge levels

:05:14.:05:19.

of abuse and coercion. When you dig down, you can see symptoms, and this

:05:20.:05:25.

is important we get very professionals `` give our

:05:26.:05:28.

professionals the tools to get this done. In Bristol, things are working

:05:29.:05:33.

really well between a charity and the police, and we need that around

:05:34.:05:39.

the country. He worked on the report that led to be built. What you want

:05:40.:05:44.

to happen next? We have been running a process with the Labour MP Frank

:05:45.:05:49.

Field to lobby the Home Secretary. We need several things in the bill.

:05:50.:05:53.

We need new leadership in the country, and the government is

:05:54.:05:57.

committed to an anti`slavery Commissioner, who would lead the

:05:58.:06:00.

fight and coordinate efforts. We think businesses need to step up.

:06:01.:06:07.

Supply chains are big problem, and is often not clear what is happening

:06:08.:06:11.

down the supply chain. We need to look and see if sleeves are in the

:06:12.:06:14.

supply chain. We have to help victims, as prosecutors struggle to

:06:15.:06:23.

get gangs who are involved. That needs to happen soon. Thank you very

:06:24.:06:30.

much. An aristocrat from Gloucestershire has been told he

:06:31.:06:33.

faces jail after admitting beating his wife of over 22 years. Lord

:06:34.:06:37.

Edward Somerset ` who is the son of the Duke of Beaufort ` today

:06:38.:06:40.

admitted four counts of assault against his wife, Lady Caroline The

:06:41.:06:43.

attacks included kicking, scratching and pulling her hair. Clinton Rogers

:06:44.:06:49.

reports. Lord and Lady Somerset, pictured

:06:50.:06:53.

here at their wedding in 1982. Picture which emerged at the Stoke

:06:54.:06:58.

on Court today was of a relationship that emit gamma descended into

:06:59.:07:03.

domestic violence just eight years later. Lord Somerset here arriving

:07:04.:07:10.

in court has admitted four charges of assault, causing his wife actual

:07:11.:07:15.

bodily harm. The attacks are said to have happened in the family home,

:07:16.:07:19.

and stately house which forms part of the Duke of Beaufort's estate.

:07:20.:07:24.

The son of the Duke appeared under his full name, and of the four

:07:25.:07:31.

charges against him, the oldest dates back to 1990, and the most

:07:32.:07:34.

recent was October last year. The judge called it a substantial period

:07:35.:07:40.

of domestic violence, and want him that he could face a prison

:07:41.:07:48.

sentence. ", `` in court, the court accepted that there was a sustained

:07:49.:07:57.

record of violence, often related to drink or drugs. Although they are

:07:58.:08:01.

now seeking a divorce, Lady Caroline applied to the court for a

:08:02.:08:05.

restraining order, preventing her husband from contacting her, and in

:08:06.:08:08.

making that order, the prosecution spoke of a meeting that they said

:08:09.:08:12.

had been engineered by the Duke of Beaufort and a cousin of Lady

:08:13.:08:17.

Caroline, at which, discussions were hard about finances and dropping the

:08:18.:08:21.

case. Lady Caroline was said to be upset when she heard about that

:08:22.:08:25.

meeting, and said she still feared her husband. Lord Somerset will be

:08:26.:08:32.

sentenced on February six. `` the 6th of February. Soldiers from the

:08:33.:08:38.

4th Battalion, the Rifles received service medals from the Duchess of

battalion and chatted to family members before watching the troops

:08:45.:08:47.

parade. They recently returned from a six`month tour in Afghanistan

:08:48.:08:55.

training the Afghan National Army. You're watching Points West. It is

:08:56.:09:02.

the second week of December. Ian is here with the weather, and there is

:09:03.:09:07.

best to. Join me later to see Nu me without the beard! And see him

:09:08.:09:12.

hairless! He's swum the length of Britain ` now Sean Conway takes on

:09:13.:09:15.

another challenge and shaves off his beard, as promised, for charity

:09:16.:09:23.

Work has started on a big extension to the designer outlet centre in

:09:24.:09:29.

Swindon, which will create 350 jobs. The new shops will be housed in an

:09:30.:09:33.

iconic building on the former Great Western Railway site called the Long

:09:34.:09:36.

Shop. It's the last derelict building on the site to be restored.

:09:37.:09:41.

Alice Bouverie reports. Time is moving on at last at the

:09:42.:09:50.

Long Shop. It was built in 1874 and once gave work to hundreds of men,

:09:51.:09:55.

all the parts needed for the locomotives on the great Western

:09:56.:09:59.

Railway were forged here right up until 1986, when the works closed.

:10:00.:10:06.

It was like Dante's Inferno. Wait a horrific atmosphere. `` quite a

:10:07.:10:13.

horrific atmosphere. It was quite an important shop. As with the rest of

:10:14.:10:17.

the centre, many of the building's features will

:10:18.:10:25.

be kept. They're hoping to hang the crane in M In parts, you'll also

:10:26.:10:29.

be able to see up to the original ceiling. It's all being done at

:10:30.:10:32.

breakneck speed. There'll be a food quarter here by spring next year.

:10:33.:10:36.

The shops will be open in September. Since it first opened in 1997, this

:10:37.:10:41.

place has seen amazing growth. When it opens next year, it will be the

:10:42.:10:46.

centre's third extension, adding 30 shops and taking the number of

:10:47.:10:50.

people employed to 1100. Household budgets may still be tight, but here

:10:51.:10:54.

at least times are good. Last year, there were 3.5 million shoppers Our

:10:55.:11:03.

customers love coming here, and we often a fantastic experience. Rate

:11:04.:11:10.

value, great brands, so it's all in all, very exciting and something

:11:11.:11:13.

that is going to bring something really special to the region. It's

:11:14.:11:17.

an emotional time for people working here. Swindon's history is so

:11:18.:11:23.

tightly bound up with the railways. As an iconic building, because it is

:11:24.:11:27.

one of the older shops in the complex. It's really important to

:11:28.:11:36.

save the heritage. It is a symbolic milestone for the time, the last

:11:37.:11:41.

workshop now becoming another retail destination. The first trains on a

:11:42.:11:51.

new commuter route between Westbury and Swindon have been running today,

:11:52.:11:53.

and passengers had their tickets stamped by a special conductor ` the

:11:54.:11:57.

MP for Chippenham, Duncan Hames The new service had a grant worth more

:11:58.:12:01.

than ?4 million from the Government. Eight trains a day will run between

:12:02.:12:10.

the two stations. A competition is being held tonight to find the next

:12:11.:12:13.

West Country business idea that could sell worldwide. It's called

:12:14.:12:16.

Born Global, and last year's winner ended up on a trade mission to Japan

:12:17.:12:21.

with the Prime Minister. So who are the contenders? Here's our business

:12:22.:12:24.

correspondent, Dave Harvey. Good morning. Welcome to the Bristol

:12:25.:12:30.

executive jet centre here at distal airport.

:12:31.:12:36.

It's not the side of the airport I had ever seen before. This will set

:12:37.:12:41.

you back ?30 million. Its owner is a West Country entrepreneur who struck

:12:42.:12:47.

gold. Born Global is a competition devised to find tomorrow's

:12:48.:12:52.

superstars. From across the West, ten people with a business idea they

:12:53.:12:58.

think the world can't wait for. Entrepreneurs are different. They

:12:59.:13:02.

have to have drive and it determination, because you will get

:13:03.:13:08.

knock backs. They iron eggs `` they are an ex`soldier, and others. My

:13:09.:13:17.

products can be used by all the emergency services. Everyone in the

:13:18.:13:27.

world has got yours, one in seven of them have a hearing test. Why should

:13:28.:13:32.

people have to go somewhere to get their hearing test, when they could

:13:33.:13:36.

stay at home and do it at home on their computer. It all began in

:13:37.:13:43.

conference rooms like this. Over 60 entrepreneurs with every conceivable

:13:44.:13:46.

kind of pitch. We're looking the health`conscious, high net worth

:13:47.:13:52.

individuals. We believe that we were born to be global. There is a huge

:13:53.:14:03.

global market potential. It was a great pitch, but in the end, not a

:14:04.:14:07.

winner. These are the ten strongest sales people, each helping dumber

:14:08.:14:12.

hoping to sell the west of the world. Which one of you are going to

:14:13.:14:20.

win Born Global 2013, and hopefully fly off in one of these aircraft?

:14:21.:14:27.

With all these fancy jets and the big prize, it looks like another TV

:14:28.:14:32.

reality show, doesn't it? But this is real. Those are real companies,

:14:33.:14:37.

who already sell real goods and services to the world. The

:14:38.:14:40.

competition has been redone to get the better `` get them better at it

:14:41.:14:44.

and get more people doing it. Exporters crawl more quickly and are

:14:45.:14:50.

more profitable, and the businesses last longer. We find after two

:14:51.:14:55.

years, it exporters are growing at about 30% per annum. It brings

:14:56.:15:01.

wealth and it brings jobs. We now expert something like 13 .3 billion

:15:02.:15:08.

pounds per year. That is up from last year, and we have 4.5 more

:15:09.:15:17.

exporters than last year. Tonight, it is every entrepreneur for

:15:18.:15:27.

themselves. Good luck! And you can find out who walks off with the big

:15:28.:15:30.

prize tomorrow night, here on Points West. Bath director of rugby Gary

:15:31.:15:37.

Gold has left his position with immediate effect. The club says the

:15:38.:15:40.

decision was taken following a re`structuring of the rugby

:15:41.:15:43.

department. Our sports editor Alistair Durden is here ` is this a

:15:44.:15:47.

surprise with the team doing so well? Yes, I guess on the surface it

:15:48.:15:54.

looks surprising. They have had nine wins in a row, her third in the

:15:55.:16:00.

premiership, so all is well. But it is worth remembering that she

:16:01.:16:04.

arrived as head coach 18 months ago, and didn't have a great first season

:16:05.:16:08.

in charge. He changed his role in the summer and became of rugby, and

:16:09.:16:15.

make forward replaced him. `` make forward. You could argue that they

:16:16.:16:21.

have been top`heavy in the coaching department, and we understand that

:16:22.:16:24.

they are not looking to replace him, so with that in context, his

:16:25.:16:33.

departure is not a big surprise Winnings a winning start for

:16:34.:16:39.

Bristol's new manager? Yes, and he is promising that his

:16:40.:16:43.

players will get better and better, and that victory over Tamworth atop

:16:44.:16:49.

a third`round tie against Watford, but yesterday's game was a first

:16:50.:16:53.

chance to see what impact the new manager has had.

:16:54.:16:58.

Bath director of rugby Gary Gold has left his position with immediate

:16:59.:16:59.

effect. You have to give him a few chances

:17:00.:17:14.

to suss out the team. Hopefully he will get the team moving and get a

:17:15.:17:20.

few goals. His first`team selection didn't include any great surprises,

:17:21.:17:23.

and it took 35 minutes to break down the launch. Mac non`B `` non`league

:17:24.:17:34.

opponents. Thomas did not disappoint his new manager. It was his 15th

:17:35.:17:41.

goal of the season. They had to wait till the next ten minutes to get

:17:42.:17:46.

there second. Tamworth had time to scramble a late consolation goal,

:17:47.:17:51.

which was judged to have crossed the line, but city were safely through

:17:52.:17:54.

and the verdict on the manager's first game? You know, they have had

:17:55.:18:02.

to play without a manager, so I think they are doing well. He will

:18:03.:18:10.

sort us out! Go on! What you have to bear in mind is that we are done in

:18:11.:18:14.

the lower echelons of league one, so we are not full of confidence at

:18:15.:18:18.

this time. That was a good win for us, and hopefully now, we consider

:18:19.:18:22.

players don't know. The draw was made straight after the match.

:18:23.:18:30.

Watford. They couldn't hide her disappointment. It's still a big

:18:31.:18:39.

game, though, and getting out team in the Premier league would have

:18:40.:18:42.

been nicer, but we can hopefully get past Watford. Before that, five

:18:43.:18:48.

important from the games with a priority has to be improving their

:18:49.:18:58.

lowly position in the table. Now a story which can't fail to inspire

:18:59.:19:02.

you. An aspiring footballer has rebuilt his life after being left

:19:03.:19:05.

brain`damaged following an attack in Gloucestershire. The assault on Jack

:19:06.:19:09.

Rutter was so vicious he had to give up his hopes of playing in the

:19:10.:19:12.

Premiership. But he didn't give up, and is now Captain of the England

:19:13.:19:15.

Cerebral Palsy squad. Now, Rio beckons in 2016. Our Gloucestershire

:19:16.:19:18.

reporter, Steve Knibbs, has been to meet him.

:19:19.:19:26.

It was an absolute dream to play for a professional club. Especially when

:19:27.:19:31.

I was playing for a Premier league team. I was training with top

:19:32.:19:34.

professionals, and it was unbelievable experience. Jack Rutter

:19:35.:19:37.

was signed to the Birmingham City academy at ten years of age ` but

:19:38.:19:41.

four years ago he was hit to the ground in an unprovoked attack in

:19:42.:19:44.

Gloucester. He had a brain haemorrhage after fracturing his

:19:45.:19:47.

skull ` it left him in intensive care with severe brain damage and

:19:48.:19:51.

permanent loss of hearing in his right ear. My coordination and

:19:52.:19:56.

balance was extremely affected. I lost balance on one side because of

:19:57.:20:01.

the deafness and the brain injury. I couldn't walk straight. The injuries

:20:02.:20:04.

destroyed Jack's dreams of becoming a Premiership footballer ` but after

:20:05.:20:07.

a long difficult road of recovery, he's back in the game. This is the

:20:08.:20:11.

FA's new multi`million pound training centre in the Midlands `

:20:12.:20:14.

home to Roy Hodgson's team, of course ` but also the England

:20:15.:20:17.

Cerebral Palsy team ` for players with CP and head injuries. And their

:20:18.:20:28.

new captain Jack Rutter. You never expect to have a second chance, and

:20:29.:20:33.

play for your country. It is absolutely amazing. I'm going to

:20:34.:20:38.

grab it with both hands, and it s a great feeling for me. The team is

:20:39.:20:45.

still in development, but the coach is aiming for top five in the

:20:46.:20:48.

European Championships. Key to that is the captain. I saw some inherent

:20:49.:20:55.

qualities that Jack possesses. One of them is leadership, and he is a

:20:56.:21:00.

winner. He wants to do things professionally, and from his

:21:01.:21:04.

background, being at a professional club, that helps him bring a great

:21:05.:21:12.

deal to our party. Jack says this is his second chance. After a life

:21:13.:21:16.

changing incident not just for him but for his family. He's a very

:21:17.:21:20.

strong and courageous young man A of people it would have thought

:21:21.:21:25.

them, but he has had some very dark moments, but he is strong and

:21:26.:21:30.

resilient, and I'm hoping for good things for him in the future. And

:21:31.:21:35.

that future seems full of ambition and aspiration. I had to retire from

:21:36.:21:41.

the professional game, but this is a dream come true. I want a captain ``

:21:42.:21:51.

to captain the GB team at Rio de Janeiro and 2016.

:21:52.:22:00.

Unstoppable! Here is amazing, isn't he? Now to another inspirational

:22:01.:22:09.

person ` you may remember this on Points West last month. I'm sure in

:22:10.:22:15.

Conwy and I grew this ridiculous beard to ward off jellyfish, to say

:22:16.:22:20.

thank you for the Born Global viewers, I pledge to shave this off

:22:21.:22:28.

life on TV `` live on TV if you donate to Children In Need. Well,

:22:29.:22:31.

today he stood by his promise, as Fiona Lamdin reports. Back swimming

:22:32.:22:36.

again` but this time in much warmer waters. After 900 miles in freezing

:22:37.:22:40.

sea, today Sean was back in the Cheletenham pool where he did all

:22:41.:22:49.

his training. This is the first time I've been back in any sort of water

:22:50.:22:54.

since I finished this swim, and it's very warm! It's the first thing I've

:22:55.:22:58.

noticed! He swam into John O'Groats exactly four weeks ago, as the

:22:59.:23:01.

world's media looked on, and since then his life has been transformed

:23:02.:23:05.

with his new`found fame. All of a sudden, I'm going out to dinner with

:23:06.:23:10.

people like Ben Fogle, and being invited to parties and offered book

:23:11.:23:14.

deals and things like that. It has been a whirlwind. He's a well`known

:23:15.:23:17.

face now on the streets of Cheltenham, helped by his infamous

:23:18.:23:20.

ginger beard. A beard which has helped raised thousands for Children

:23:21.:23:23.

In Need as he pledged to shave it off. Right, take it all off! For the

:23:24.:23:32.

last five and a half months, this beard has become part of Sean's

:23:33.:23:36.

identity. It is how we recognise him and it has protected him from cold

:23:37.:23:42.

and jellyfish. But right now, it is all coming from SOP `` all coming

:23:43.:23:49.

off. But it's not as fast as you'd think. It is, in fact, a lengthy

:23:50.:23:52.

process. Sean's in the chair for over an hour. There are the

:23:53.:23:55.

clippers, the facial, the foam, and then the cut`throat razor comes out.

:23:56.:24:02.

And his reaction. Wow! I look very different, don't I? I have a really

:24:03.:24:06.

small face! But maybe more importantly, what does his mother

:24:07.:24:10.

make of his new look? I would tell him, walk on the other side of the

:24:11.:24:15.

road and don't call me ma'am, because you look like a tramp! That

:24:16.:24:25.

is the support I get from mother! I'm still prayed a few! But Sean

:24:26.:24:28.

assures me that the clean`shaven look is not here to stay. As of

:24:29.:24:32.

tonight, he's starting to re`grow the big ginger beard` he needs it

:24:33.:24:35.

for his next challenge. So maybe, like Samson, it really is the

:24:36.:24:48.

strength behind this man. Follow the next beard suggest him

:24:49.:24:53.

from? He could have been a ginger Father Christmas! Right, it's time

:24:54.:24:58.

for the weather. Ian is here. Father Christmas! Right, it's time

:24:59.:25:06.

for the Hi there, it is been noticeably mail today, and is will

:25:07.:25:10.

be pretty similar tomorrow. Generally more cloud around than

:25:11.:25:14.

today, but the through the course of the afternoon, some brighter spells

:25:15.:25:17.

developing, and for the here and now at least, I dry picture. Light winds

:25:18.:25:21.

across the course of today, but we will reverse that over the course of

:25:22.:25:28.

the night, and there may be light showers, but very few of those.

:25:29.:25:34.

Equally, we might see a bit of fog, particularly in the south`east of

:25:35.:25:40.

the Cotswolds, but hopefully, nothing too problematic tomorrow

:25:41.:25:43.

morning. Temperatures generally in around the area of three or four

:25:44.:25:49.

degrees. There will be the odd exception, but tomorrow will start

:25:50.:25:53.

with one to light showers, and it will be dry. As the day goes by

:25:54.:25:58.

maybe some brighter showers as we head to the afternoon as well. Winds

:25:59.:26:02.

will be generally light and moderate. Temperatures much as we've

seen the course of this afternoon, looking quite healthy from the time

:26:19.:26:25.

as we go through Wednesday, but signs of change trying to take place

:26:26.:26:30.

at the end of the working week from the West. As we get through to the

:26:31.:26:34.

weekend, there is a signal from these areas of low pressure

:26:35.:26:39.

squeezing in towards the east and south`east, but with very little

success. Despite the way this works, I wouldn't take it literally. It

remains oddly dry, but that could change, the temperature speak for
