forget a first look at the papers Good evening. The government has

:00:12.:00:15.

suspended plans to roll out its controversial cull of badgers. It

:00:16.:00:19.

follows a critical report bx experts into the shooting carried ott in

:00:20.:00:22.

Somerset and Gloucestershird last autumn. But the two culls whll

:00:23.:00:25.

continue with changes. Our political editor Paul Barltrop reports.

:00:26.:00:28.

A policy in trouble ` a minhster facing his critics. The envhronment

:00:29.:00:33.

secretary came to the Commons to announce the news. The cull which

:00:34.:00:38.

was due to be extended to tdn new zones won't be. As he talked, his

:00:39.:00:41.

department released the report by experts which catalogued nulerous

:00:42.:00:45.

problems. MPs learned that shooting wasn't effective or humane. The

:00:46.:00:48.

culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire were financdd by

:00:49.:00:50.

farmers, who over several ddcades have seen more and more cattle hit

:00:51.:00:54.

by bovine TB. The disease c`n be spread between cows and badgers

:00:55.:01:03.

Today's news was a blow. Extremely frustrating. We tdst our

:01:04.:01:09.

cows at least once a year, `nd if you're under restriction it's every

:01:10.:01:13.

60 days, and I've got to ask myself, why am I doing it? Some people say,

:01:14.:01:17.

well, give up on it and go elsewhere. Fine, I'll sell ly cows

:01:18.:01:21.

and move on, but where are xou going to get your pint of milk from?

:01:22.:01:24.

Also influencing thinking is the efforts of opponents. Their actions

:01:25.:01:27.

last autumn slowed, and at times halted, the shooting.

:01:28.:01:32.

I'm very pleased that all that effort has resulted in the stopping

:01:33.:01:35.

of the roll`out, but I'm bitterly disappointed, and a lot of people

:01:36.:01:39.

are very angry, they cannot believe that free shooting is still going

:01:40.:01:43.

on. So protesters, police, and larksmen

:01:44.:01:46.

will start preparing to go back into the fields of West Somerset and West

:01:47.:01:49.

Gloucestershire, but for now nowhere else. Paul Barltrop, BBC Pohnts

West. Earlier I spoke to the Farmhng

:01:58.:02:00.

Minister George Eustace. I `sked him if he thought the culls had been a

:02:01.:02:07.

failure. It was clear that this was `lways a

:02:08.:02:11.

pilot. We are going to learn our lessons from the first year and take

:02:12.:02:15.

forward the recommendations for the second year. Every time I h`ve

:02:16.:02:20.

spoken to you in the past, xou have said the call is going very well.

:02:21.:02:30.

What has changed. Well it h`s become clear, that provided you sustain the

:02:31.:02:40.

call, you can still make a difference to the spread of disease.

:02:41.:02:49.

Why has the cull not been stopped? Hello and welcome to wee bit... I

:02:50.:03:11.

think this is a Sussexs sensible approach to take. This is why Ed

:03:12.:03:29.

Haas to be part of our strategy In the past you have said that

:03:30.:03:37.

vaccination does not work? We have always said that vaccination works.

:03:38.:03:42.

We have always maintained that it could be part of a strategy. It will

:03:43.:03:47.

always have an important role in sending the spread of the dhsease,

:03:48.:04:16.

especially in low risk areas. This is the spot a quiet cul`de`sac where

:04:17.:04:20.

the body Melanie Ford was found just yards from her family home As

:04:21.:04:26.

the anniversary of her death approaches, police say that they

:04:27.:04:31.

have the killer's DNA, and they are convinced that they can catch him. A

:04:32.:04:36.

17`year`old with her whole life ahead of her. But in 1984, she was

:04:37.:04:43.

brutally murdered. She had been here at this nightclub with friends, and

:04:44.:04:47.

taken this short cut home whth friends. Somewhere near at this spot

:04:48.:04:57.

Melanie met her killer. She was sexually assaulted and stabbed. Her

:04:58.:05:02.

body was found here early the following morning by the milkman.

:05:03.:05:08.

The killer left a trail of his own blood as he ran from the scdne. Now

:05:09.:05:12.

the police have his full DN@ profile. They just need his name.

:05:13.:05:19.

Melanie did not deserve to die in the way that she did. It is very

:05:20.:05:25.

unusual to now have the evidence to say that that person is responsible.

:05:26.:05:31.

We are in a very strong poshtion. Officers are no content ``

:05:32.:05:37.

contacting hundreds of people linked to Melanie. What we know is that the

:05:38.:05:44.

killer run down these steps, leaving a trail of blood steps. But then

:05:45.:05:49.

about 30 yards down this ro`d, the Trail ends. It may be 30 ye`rs on,

:05:50.:05:56.

but police believe they can still catch that killer and bring justice

:05:57.:06:08.

to Melanie's family. A cash point has been blown up in

:06:09.:06:11.

Bristol, leaving hundreds of pounds littering the street. The blast

:06:12.:06:14.

happened on Hartcliffe Way hn the early hours of this morning.

:06:15.:06:17.

Officers are looking at whether a device was attached to the @TM. It's

:06:18.:06:21.

not clear yet how much monex was taken.

:06:22.:06:27.

That's all from us. BBC Question Time is next on BBC One. Thd hour

:06:28.:06:31.

long debate is being held in Bristol tonight. But first here's I`n with

:06:32.:06:34.

the weather. Tomorrow will bring dry weather

:06:35.:06:49.

Certainly some showers around, but drier than to date. It will take a

:06:50.:06:57.

little while for the showers to clear. But it will leave a dry

:06:58.:07:02.

night. Temperatures around seven or eight Celsius. Tomorrow, sole

:07:03.:07:13.

brighter spells about. Just a future as from around mid afternoon

:07:14.:07:17.

onwards. Many districts will avoid the showers. Were we have them, they

:07:18.:07:25.

will be light to moderate. Temperatures tomorrow will get up to

:07:26.:07:31.

the mid teens. Similar tempdratures through the course of the wdekend. A

:07:32.:07:35.

weather looks. Now the latest on the pesky pollution.

:07:36.:07:39.

Good evening. They say a change of air is good for you and that is what

:07:40.:07:47.

we have on the way. The brush that will sweep away all of the air

:07:48.:07:52.

pollution is a weather system developing in the Atlantic. The

Atlantic implements very much across the
