Good evening. A Bristol wom`n who has been waiting for a kidndy for 11 | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
years is calling for more pdople to become donors. Her appeal comes at a | :00:16. | :00:28. | |
time of crisis for the transplant service with a desperate shortage of | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
donors among black, Asian and minority ethnic people. Our Health | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Correspondent, Matthew Hill, reports. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
These two young women have got to know each other very well. That s | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
because they have both been on dialysis together for sever`l years. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Aneesha has just been given a kidney, but Maureen is still | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
waiting. So, three times a week she comes to Southmead Hospital for her | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
blood to be cleaned. And, after 11 years, waiting time is runnhng out. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
I am running out of places to have dialysis. I am suffering | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
complications due to the fact I have been on dialysis for so long. I | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
don't know how long this will keep me alive for. Aneesha's father | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
donated one of his kidneys to her a year ago. It has changed my life | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
completely. It is amazing. H still cannot believe it has happened. You | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
cannot really think about how joyful and happy we are, seeing her living | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
a good life. The latest figtres show that 30% of patients waiting for an | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
organ tranplant in Bristol `re black or from an ethnic minority. But only | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
2% of kidney donations to strangers come from this group. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
That's why the Lord Mayor is trying to sign up as many people from this | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
community as he can to donate their organs. There are some myths, some | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
individuals believe there are religious barriers. The way God sent | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
us into this world is the w`y we should leave. That is not true. | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
Islam or any other Abraham `t faith `` Abra Abrahamic faith says to save | :02:07. | :02:33. | |
a life. 40 people signed up for this donation scheme and now mord than | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
200 names are on this bit of paper. The average wait for a kidndy | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
transplant is three years. So, for people like Maureen, who have | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
already been on the list for more than a decade, the odds are very | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
much against them. A Gloucestershire care home manager | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
who stole hundreds of pounds from people with learning diffictlties | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
was sent to prison today. R`chel Stokes took residents money and used | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
it to pay for her bingo addhction. Our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Knibbs, was in court. Rachel Stokes ran a care hole where | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
the residents had serious ldarning disabilities ` many couldn't even | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
communicate. As someone thex should have been able to trust, Stokes had | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
access to their cashcards and PIN numbers and would take monex out for | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
them. But it turns out she was taking some of it for herself, to | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
fund her gambling habit. Today, the sister of one of her victims told me | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
how the crimes had affected them all. I don't think there ard any | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
words to describe what she has done. Just absolutely disgusted and | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
appalled. How has it left everyone feeling? The staff who have been | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
left holding the baby, they are disgusted as well. It has gone on | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
under the nose. Last year, `n audit spotted a discrepancy betwedn the | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
residents' bank accounts and the log the home kept of money taken out for | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
them. Rachel Stokes was arrdsted and came clean, telling police she would | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
draw out ?100 to ?200 every two to four weeks and use the monex to fund | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
her addiction to bingo. She admitted stealing ?1,000 but the prosecution | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
said it that was just a minhmum amount. The court also heard she'd | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
gambled ?11,000 she'd been given for a PPI claim. The judge said her | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
crimes were a serious breach of trust particularly because of the | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
vulnerability of the three victims. The phrase" serious breach of trust" | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
echoed through these proceedings, not only from the judge and | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
prosecution but also from the defence team. They said her crimes | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
were committed when she was at a low ebb. She said she was still coming | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
to does what she had done, effectively stealing from pdople she | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
was meant to look after. Before she admitted her guilt in court last | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
month, Stokes took to Facebook and said, "I have done some terrible | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
things which are unforgivable and I am truly sorry to all the pdople I | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
have hurt. I love all my falily Take care." The BBC underst`nds | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
concerns about Rachel stealhng from residents were raised in march last | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
year, several weeks before she was arrested. `` in March last xear But | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
the owners of the home have not replied to our attempts to contact | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
them today. Tonight, Rachel Stokes starts an eight`month prison | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
sentence ` she'll serve four months before being released on licence. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
A Somerset man spread lies on the internet about a pub, which was | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
forced to close down as a rdsult. Joshua Bonehill`Pain, from Xeovil, | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
made up an internet hoax about the Globe Pub in Leicester. He said it | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
had banned British armed forces The story quickly spread online and | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
staff were threatened. Todax, he was given was given 180 hours unpaid | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
work and two years probation. Hundreds of people are expected to | :05:44. | :05:47. | |

Glovers needed to win their last two games of the season to have any | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
chance of staying in the Championship but tonight a 2`0 | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
defeat put paid to any hopes of staying up. | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Newsnight's over on BBC Two now ` talking disestablishmentari`nism. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
But, before that, here' s the weather with Ian. | :06:26. | :06:37. | |
Good evening. An area of low pressure is still dominating the | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
pattern for the weekend. Ardas of showers, periods of rain but also | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
some drier and writer, if blustery weather. Still the threat of some | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
heavy showers on Sunday. Thdre will be a band of rain moving north`east | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
was chewing the first offer tonight. That will be heavy in places. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Temperatures on the mild side. That band of rain will be out of the way | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
by first thing tomorrow. A brighter morning for many of you. As we head | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
into the afternoon, the thrdat of further showers and outbreaks of | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
rain starts to return once `gain from the south`west. As I s`id, it | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
will be a blustery day. Particularly in the South. So things continue | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
into the evening of Saturdax. Temperatures should reach 14 or 15 | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Celsius. Sunday has a simil`r pattern, so some showers around that | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
with an outlook. We will have the outlook for the rest of the country. | :07:32. | :07:41. | |
Goodbye. Good evening. A bit of a | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
disappointing day. A lot of cloud around and we saw showery outbreaks | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
of rain. Courtesy of this continental plume which arrived | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
during the early hours and continues to drift further north. Into the | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
weekend, this area of low pressure will influence our weather. It is | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
already arriving bringing gusts of wind is to the Isles of Scilly and | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
the south-west. Further north, and easterly feed are dragging more | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
cloud, misty conditions and poor visibility with light rain. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Overnight lows of eight to 10 degrees. A band of persistent rain | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
through Northern Ireland moving out of Wales and into the North of | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
England and the south-east means a great, miserable start to Saturday. | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
But a clearance with sunny spells coming through. All the time that | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
area of low pressure to the south-west will keep feeding | :08:36. | :08:36. |
