Good evening. A Bristol teenager has died in Columbia after apparently

:00:14.:00:16.

taking part in a traditional tribal ritual. Henry Miller was on a gap

:00:17.:00:22.

year in the remote Putumayo region but appears to have reacted badly to

:00:23.:00:25.

drinking a herbal infusion said to cause hallucinations. Here's Jules

:00:26.:00:28.

Hyam. His parents describe Henry `s

:00:29.:00:31.

polite, popular and as having a great sense of humour. He also had a

:00:32.:00:37.

sense of adventure. At 19, Henry had already travelled extensively and he

:00:38.:00:41.

was spending time in Colombha in the Putumayo area in the south`west of

:00:42.:00:46.

the country. It's understood that he took part in a shamanic tribal

:00:47.:00:49.

ritual in the rainforest recommended by the hostel where he was staying.

:00:50.:00:54.

It involves drinking a herb`l infusion that promotes

:00:55.:00:58.

hallucination. But local sotrces say that when Henry took part for a

:00:59.:01:02.

second time, he collapsed. Today, friends from his former sixth form

:01:03.:01:05.

college have been posting mdssages of support on their social ledia

:01:06.:01:08.

pages and changing their profile pictures to include photos of Henry.

:01:09.:01:13.

Neither they nor his family are speaking publicly today but his

:01:14.:01:15.

family have released a statdment, saying he was very much lovdd, and

:01:16.:01:19.

while they are still waiting for more information from the Foreign

:01:20.:01:22.

Office, it does appear likely that a reaction to that drink was the cause

:01:23.:01:28.

of his death. Henry's body was found by the roadside near the relote town

:01:29.:01:31.

of Mocoa. An investigation has been started by

:01:32.:01:33.

Colombian police. Parents have come together `t a

:01:34.:01:42.

public meeting in Bristol to look at setting up a bilingual

:01:43.:01:44.

French`English primary school. The city already has a French school

:01:45.:01:47.

that children can attend alongside their regular one. Now therd's a

:01:48.:01:51.

push to create a free school which would be a full time bilingtal

:01:52.:01:55.

learning environment. Even though there are some opportunities for

:01:56.:01:58.

bilingual education in the private sector, it's not readily av`ilable

:01:59.:02:01.

to people of all means, so our proposal is to bring that bhlingual

:02:02.:02:04.

education to the people of Bristol who might not be able to afford

:02:05.:02:17.

private education or not want to. Bristol Rovers took a massive step

:02:18.:02:20.

towards securing their Football League status this afternoon with a

:02:21.:02:24.

2`1 win at Wycombe. Lee Brown and David Clarkson scored the goals

:02:25.:02:27.

Rovers are three points above the League Two relegation zone. A point

:02:28.:02:31.

in the final game will now guarantee their safety.

:02:32.:02:34.

Elsewhere today, Swindon's hopes of a playoff place in League One are

:02:35.:02:38.

over after defeat at Notts County. Bristol City played out a 0`0 with

:02:39.:02:42.

Crewe draw at Ashton Gate. And in League Two, Cheltenh`m lost

:02:43.:02:46.

2`0 at top`of`the`table Rochdale. Yeovil Town's relegation from the

:02:47.:02:48.

Championship was confirmed last night after their 2`0 defeat at

:02:49.:02:52.

Brighton. Gary Johnson's men hit the bar twice but were undone bx two

:02:53.:02:55.

late goals, which mean they'll be playing in League One next season.

:02:56.:03:01.

All we can do is say the lads gave their all and they gave the others

:03:02.:03:05.

teams the chance to see us that we're not dropping out of it. We're

:03:06.:03:11.

going to give everything we've got right to the end of the season.

:03:12.:03:15.

That's the nature of our group of players and we'll do that rhght into

:03:16.:03:19.

the last game of the season. Our supporters were brilliant as well.

:03:20.:03:23.

They've been doing the same so we thank them as well.

:03:24.:03:26.

In rugby, Bristol ended thehr regular season with a 55`31 win at

:03:27.:03:30.

London Scottish. Andy Short and Adam Hughes both scored two tries.

:03:31.:03:34.

Bristol will now face Rotherham Titans in the playoff semifhnals.

:03:35.:03:38.

And in the Snooker World Championships, Bristol's Judd Trump

:03:39.:03:41.

leads Ryan Day 6`2 after thd first session of his second`round match.

:03:42.:03:46.

What may have been the last letter written on the Titanic has this

:03:47.:03:49.

afternoon fetched ?119,000 `t auction in Wiltshire, a world record

:03:50.:03:53.

for a Titanic letter. It was written by survivor Esther Hart and her

:03:54.:03:57.

daughter eight hours before the ship hit an iceberg and sank in 0912 It

:03:58.:04:01.

only survived because it was in the pocket of her husband's coat, which

:04:02.:04:05.

he'd given her to keep warm. And finally, Banksy fever r`ges on

:04:06.:04:09.

in Cheltenham with the creation of a beer to celebrate the now f`mous spy

:04:10.:04:13.

mural. It's been called G C Ale Q, to tie in with the secret agent

:04:14.:04:17.

theme of the suspected Bansky image, and has an encrypted label to add an

:04:18.:04:21.

extra layer of secrecy. Let's look at the weather, with

:04:22.:04:23.

Holly Green. Hello there, good evening. Today has

:04:24.:04:28.

brought some heavy showers `nd strong winds, and we continte to see

:04:29.:04:31.

further heavy showers through tonight. They're circulating around

:04:32.:04:34.

on those strong blustery winds, they could bring some rumbles of thunder

:04:35.:04:38.

and it turns quite misty and murky through the early hours as well

:04:39.:04:42.

with lows of eight or nine degrees. Tomorrow starts quite dank `nd

:04:43.:04:45.

claggy. We may see a few brhght spells coming through. However, we

:04:46.:04:49.

always have the risk of further showers, and tomorrow they could be

:04:50.:04:52.

heavy, thundery, we could sde some surface water flooding. Through the

:04:53.:04:56.

rest of the working week it stays unsettled with showers and longers

:04:57.:04:57.

spells of rain. And here's where we say goodbye

:04:58.:05:05.

We're back at the same time tomorrow. Enjoy your evening.

:05:06.:05:13.

Good evening. An area of low pressure has wrapped itself around

:05:14.:05:21.

the British Isles for this weekend. There have been a number of showers

:05:22.:05:26.

today, particularly in the south-west, and there is more to

:05:27.:05:31.

come overnight. You can see this swirl of cloud, the centre of it in

:05:32.:05:37.

the south-west of England. Close to the centre of that there will be

:05:38.:05:41.

some strong winds in the south-west of England and some heavy showers as

:05:42.:05:48.

well. There will be some big waves along the south
