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 | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
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 | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
Atlantic implements very much across the | :07:58. | :07:58. |
