:00:00.:00:24.

of what had happened. Tonight we can reveal

the hospitals that have nevdr The Transport Minister makes

:00:49.:00:58.

weather can be flying high once again.

:00:59.:00:59.

The Bristol Old Vic revisits the magic of 1966 as England gets

:01:00.:01:03.

Doctors and nurses across the West are being abused by angry p`tients `

:01:04.:01:13.

and the NHS is allowing manx of them to get away with it.

:01:14.:01:17.

The Trust, which runs Southlead Hospital in Bristol and the Great

:01:18.:01:19.

Western Hospital in Swindon, have not reported single a case hn recent

:01:20.:01:24.

The Royal College of Nursing has started an inquiry

:01:25.:01:29.

into why so few patients ard being brought before the courts.

:01:30.:01:34.

Our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill's report starts with

:01:35.:01:36.

a very graphic description of an attack on a doctor from Bristol.

:01:37.:01:46.

I had just seen a patient who is convinced they had HIV. And I said

:01:47.:01:54.

what symptoms do you have? @nd he said you tell me. I knew thdre was

:01:55.:01:59.

something wrong as he had bden tested many times before. I did not

:02:00.:02:03.

realise you paranoid schizophrenia. An hour later, after the clhnic had

:02:04.:02:08.

closed, he came up behind md and try to chop my head off with a lachete.

:02:09.:02:10.

The scars may have healed, but for this sexual health constltant,

:02:11.:02:13.

the memory of an attack mord than 20 years ago is still very vivid.

:02:14.:02:20.

It is in UCD night that you knew you had been cut. Swipe my hand up and

:02:21.:02:25.

then screamed and ran away hnto the casualty departments. I sat down

:02:26.:02:29.

right next to the sister and the doctor and said I need pressure on

:02:30.:02:30.

this, and stitches. In Dr Greenhouse's case

:02:31.:02:32.

his assailant was prosecuted But according to data seen by

:02:33.:02:34.

the BBC, most hospitals in the West are failing to find out if justice

:02:35.:02:38.

is being sought for their staff All our hospitals are required to

:02:39.:02:44.

compile the number of assaults, Those can include cautions,

:02:45.:02:47.

fines and imprisonment. Figures show that for

:02:48.:02:54.

the past five years, North Bristol Trust has had a more than a thousand

:02:55.:02:57.

reported assaults on staff. Yet in not one single case has there

:02:58.:03:00.

been a declared sanction recorded The one hospital with

:03:01.:03:05.

a far better record is For the past 12 years, a police

:03:06.:03:16.

officer has been stationed here They had 757 reported assaults, but

:03:17.:03:21.

100 of those had declared s`nctions. It does make a difference. H'm here

:03:22.:03:42.

to respond to incidents that happen. But I'm also here to support the

:03:43.:03:44.

investigation teams. Apart from this hospital, no others

:03:45.:03:48.

were prepared to be intervidwed But statements from Great Wdstern in

:03:49.:03:50.

Swindon say they do not toldrate the abuse of staff and their managers

:03:51.:03:53.

will follow up any incident. Both they and North Bristol Trust

:03:54.:03:56.

say ultimately it?s down to individual staff about

:03:57.:03:59.

whether they contact the police Of course, many assaults involve

:04:00.:04:04.

vulnerable patients with conditions like dementia, but some hospitals

:04:05.:04:08.

still seem to have questions to answer about how seriously they take

:04:09.:04:11.

attacks on staff. Joining me now is the

:04:12.:04:21.

South West Regional Director of the Royal College of Nursing

:04:22.:04:23.

Jeannette Martin. As we've seen, attacks

:04:24.:04:28.

on staff can actually be extremely traumatic ` presumably you hear some

:04:29.:04:30.

pretty distressing stories? They are there to provide c`re and

:04:31.:04:39.

should be able to go into work and provide care in a safe environment.

:04:40.:04:42.

They are sometimes attacked because people are upset and angry. They are

:04:43.:04:46.

angry because they have been kept waiting but that is not the nurse's

:04:47.:04:51.

fault. They become frustratdd and attacks should not happen. What

:04:52.:04:57.

exactly should Hospital be doing across the board? They need a new

:04:58.:05:04.

approach. There needs to be enough staff so that patients can receive

:05:05.:05:09.

the care when they need it. Also, so you can see the early signs and so

:05:10.:05:12.

things don't escalate into violence. There should also be good

:05:13.:05:17.

security is that if staff nded to, they can call the help. We saw in a

:05:18.:05:22.

tip or that they officer was brought in to show a presence. Is that

:05:23.:05:27.

viable? That cost you much? Hospitals can have their own

:05:28.:05:31.

security systems in place. That particular incident they usdd a

:05:32.:05:35.

police officer. In other environments they will have their

:05:36.:05:38.

own security. The inky thing is that there is somebody there who staff

:05:39.:05:41.

can call on when they need help That there is somebody that will

:05:42.:05:47.

help them if Ireland occurs. Action will be taken afterwards. You

:05:48.:05:50.

mention some cases can be sdnsitive and an attacker may be a vulnerable

:05:51.:05:56.

person themselves that cloud the issue? Hospitals are not a sanctuary

:05:57.:06:01.

for crime. So just as if solebody was attacked in the street someday

:06:02.:06:04.

will need to be done about ht, it is the same in the hospital. Btt

:06:05.:06:10.

clearly, if you can see early signs and you can stop it before ht

:06:11.:06:15.

escalates, that is better. What we need to do is be sure that our

:06:16.:06:19.

nurses and doctors can work in a safe environment. Thank you.

:06:20.:06:22.

A fire which destroyed two homes in Bath yesterday may have been

:06:23.:06:25.

started deliberately, according to the police.

:06:26.:06:26.

Detectives say that a cannabis factory was discovered

:06:27.:06:28.

Police are trying to trace two Asian men seen leaving the house.

:06:29.:06:37.

A third man has died followhng the crash on the M4 on Monday morning.

:06:38.:06:40.

Two men were pronounced dead at the scene when a van

:06:41.:06:43.

and a lorry collided near the Chippenham turn`off.

:06:44.:06:45.

Another man is still in a critical condition in hospital.

:06:46.:06:49.

A 37`year`old man from Aberdare has been arrested on suspicion of

:06:50.:06:52.

One of the West's worst trunk roads look set for improvemdnts

:06:53.:07:03.

The A303 runs through Wiltshire and Somerset, linking the M3 and the M5.

:07:04.:07:06.

For decades there have been calls for single carriageway secthons to

:07:07.:07:10.

be upgraded, and, today, the Secretary of State

:07:11.:07:13.

Here's our political editor, Paul Barltrop.

:07:14.:07:19.

He was in Taunton to see its railway station.

:07:20.:07:21.

But everybody wanted to know about the Transport Secretary's

:07:22.:07:23.

That's a major pinch point because it is only one way.

:07:24.:07:33.

Patrick McLoughlin wanted to see the A303 for himself before making

:07:34.:07:36.

I have been some terrible shtuations and accidents where it has been

:07:37.:07:55.

going through the villages `nd has taken me hours to get through. If

:07:56.:08:01.

you go at the wrong time it can be terrible. They've been saying it

:08:02.:08:06.

will be upgraded for years. as soon as it is dual carriageway is all the

:08:07.:08:09.

way the better it will be for everybody.

:08:10.:08:10.

After many years of frustration ministers got the wheels rolling.

:08:11.:08:12.

It's a year since the the Government announced a feasibility study

:08:13.:08:15.

This summer's holiday traffhc will emphasise the need

:08:16.:08:18.

and this past winter's foods on railways reinforced calls

:08:19.:08:22.

At Taunton Station the minister acknowledged the region isn't

:08:23.:08:27.

There's a study at the moment going on into the A303

:08:28.:08:34.

I hope I'll be in position to say something later in the xear

:08:35.:08:39.

You saw it, does it deserve improvement?

:08:40.:08:40.

Yes, but obviously we must debate about what we improve, and that s

:08:41.:08:44.

For the local politicians who have for decades sought change,

:08:45.:08:57.

Cameron's been down, Patrick's been down.

:08:58.:09:03.

The fact that he has driven is good for us.

:09:04.:09:14.

The Secretary of State left for his return trip on the @303

:09:15.:09:18.

He'll decide what money it gets in the autumn.

:09:19.:09:28.

You are watching BBC Points West with David and Amanda.

:09:29.:09:30.

Thank you for being with us on this lovely sunny evening.

:09:31.:09:33.

The rock star turned classical composer, who is having a phece

:09:34.:09:37.

played in public for the first time at the Cheltenham Music Festival.

:09:38.:09:41.

And we'll find out from Ian if it's going to be the hottest day

:09:42.:09:44.

This time last week detectives were preparing to do a big public appeal

:09:45.:09:58.

ahead of the 30th anniversary of the murder of Melanie Ro`d.

:09:59.:10:02.

Over the weekend, they were a very public presence in

:10:03.:10:06.

the streets of Bath, and Melanie's mother published an emotion`l letter

:10:07.:10:09.

pleading with the people of the city to search their melories.

:10:10.:10:12.

Her 17`year`old daughter was killed in Lansdown after walking home

:10:13.:10:17.

The detective in charge of the investigation is Julie Lackay.

:10:18.:10:21.

Earlier I asked her what the public response had been.

:10:22.:10:29.

We have had an excellent response on the public. We have people come

:10:30.:10:35.

forward with additional information that we need to explore and

:10:36.:10:38.

follow`up. We have at other people come forward with names and

:10:39.:10:42.

obviously we are reviewing where they fit within the system on the

:10:43.:10:45.

database we have. Where those names do feature, if we have not been able

:10:46.:10:48.

to swap them already then wd will take active steps to guard we can

:10:49.:10:53.

swap those people and get the response so the public know we are

:10:54.:10:59.

acting on the information. Xou talk about swabbing. How important is DNA

:11:00.:11:08.

to this enquiry? It is cruchal. I avoided explained during thd course

:11:09.:11:12.

of this appeal that we have a full DNA profile of the killer which

:11:13.:11:17.

enables us to either elimin`te or implicate people who come into our

:11:18.:11:20.

investigation. That is what we are doing, going round, taking swabs in

:11:21.:11:28.

order to obtain a DNA profile. You have got some specific names you are

:11:29.:11:33.

anxious to investigate further? yes. We have some names that havd been

:11:34.:11:37.

provided. We look at those `long with the others we have. We have

:11:38.:11:41.

thousands and we are reviewhng them. We look out where they fit with our

:11:42.:11:46.

matrix and it seems right and proper that as it has taken each rtbble to

:11:47.:11:50.

phone us up that we are prioritised that. We have been doing th`t and

:11:51.:11:57.

taking additional swabs. Wh`t a joy impression about the imminent is of

:11:58.:12:02.

an arrest? Well, there is no imminent arrest because that will

:12:03.:12:07.

only come when we get a restlt on a positive DNA swab. But I am

:12:08.:12:10.

confident that we can detect this offence. We have at energy hnto it

:12:11.:12:15.

and it is out there, the person is out there, the information hs out

:12:16.:12:18.

there, we needed to come into our incident room and take that action

:12:19.:12:20.

to identify them. Thank you. Fire fighters across the West are

in the middle of a 24`hour strike in protest against

:12:25.:12:26.

plans to change their pensions. They walked out

:12:27.:12:29.

at 9 o'clock this morning. It's the thirteenth day

:12:30.:12:31.

of strike action since the Government announced it would raise

:12:32.:12:34.

the pension age from 55 to 60. The Government says the deal

:12:35.:12:38.

on offer is one of the best in the public sector ` but the

:12:39.:12:41.

Fire Brigade Union disagrees. It is quite frankly ridiculous to

:12:42.:12:45.

expect fire fighters to do The Government's own report tells us

:12:46.:12:48.

two thirds of fire fighters will not be able to meet

:12:49.:12:53.

the fitness standards at th`t age. That means that fire fighters could

:12:54.:12:55.

be left with no job and no pension. That is what we are

it's free. It sorts out the logistics,

from transport to finding cover Being a carer can be very stressful

and really take your sense of confidence out of you. You need to

know that other people are out there doing the same thing and th`t you

can have a life of your own. This place provides us with the space to

do that. Just take a look at the Garden potential here. You can see

the carers outing on a summdr afternoon and it looks beautiful. In

:15:18.:15:23.

the UK that are almost 7 million carers. That is one in eight

:15:24.:15:27.

adults. It save the taxpayer almost ?119 billion.

:15:28.:15:31.

The charity already runs an information centre in Radstock

:15:32.:15:33.

but there?s little room for this kind of work.

It says buying the building is worth it

:15:37.:15:38.

for the long`term future of helping these often hidden, unsung heroes.

:15:39.:15:56.

The weather is so nice that we have decided to abandon the studho

:15:57.:15:59.

and come up to the BBC garddn for the rest of the programle.

:16:00.:16:10.

This is the space on top of Broadcasting House which yot helped

:16:11.:16:13.

us to redevelop, last year. And talking about being in the fresh

:16:14.:16:21.

air ` our next story is abott kites. Peter Powell from Gloucester is

:16:22.:16:25.

the godfather of the stunt kite He sold millions of them

:16:26.:16:30.

in the ?70s. PNow his children have taken over

:16:31.:16:34.

the family firm, It is the red arrows of kitds. Why

:16:35.:16:48.

Mac was still made by hand, 40 years on. But this time, Peter's sons are

:16:49.:17:03.

at the helm. Peter Powell's career as a kite tycoon has taken off. This

:17:04.:17:11.

kite was the toy to have in the 70s. It was toy of the year in

:17:12.:17:16.

1976, even outselling Lego. For Peter, it was sudden success on a

:17:17.:17:24.

grand scale. He was producing 3 0 kites a week and was happy with

:17:25.:17:28.

that. Until you went on a programme called Nationwide. He went through

:17:29.:17:38.

300 kites are weak to 25,000. So he opened up to factories and that

:17:39.:17:42.

wasn't enough, so he opened another three. Then he was making 74,00

:17:43.:17:49.

kites a week. Flying these kites became a craze. Flying on a hill

:17:50.:17:57.

with the wind, you can steer them and land them. It really tugs at the

:17:58.:18:07.

heartstrings. You never forget it. Peter wound down his business 3

:18:08.:18:11.

years ago. So when his sons are devised a modern version of his

:18:12.:18:16.

classic kite, they knew thex would need his approval. I walked in and

:18:17.:18:19.

gave in the bag. He put his hand inside the bike and pulled the kite

:18:20.:18:23.

out and he was absolutely astonished. He broke down and it was

:18:24.:18:30.

a very emotional time. Had that feel? it felt great. He has put his

:18:31.:18:36.

hand out and shook it and sdnt congratulations. And with orders

:18:37.:18:40.

coming up in New Zealand, Alerica and Australia, it appears this

:18:41.:18:43.

business is heading for gre`t heights once again.

:18:44.:18:53.

A rock star who used to plax for Genesis will be at the

:18:54.:18:56.

He's Tony Banks who plays the keyboards.

:18:57.:19:03.

But he's now reinvented himself as a composer of classical lusic.

:19:04.:19:09.

Andy Howard has been to watch rehearsals.

:19:10.:19:20.

They were, and still are, one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.

:19:21.:19:33.

Genesis have reportedly sold more than a records worldwide. So as

:19:34.:19:39.

musicians, you might think they had done it all. Not quite. Bec`use

:19:40.:19:45.

today, in this theatre in Dorset, Tony Banks, who played keyboards for

:19:46.:19:49.

Genesis, is preparing for hhs debut. The symphony orchestra in there is

:19:50.:19:54.

rehearsing for the first evdr public performance of one of Tony's

:19:55.:19:55.

classical pieces. The long hair may have gone and

:19:56.:20:14.

grade slightly, but the mushcal intensity remains. Today was fine

:20:15.:20:20.

tuning. The attention to detail is staggering. I made a few suggestions

:20:21.:20:26.

based on, I don't know, my experience with the orchestra and

:20:27.:20:33.

both me and Paul took all of them on board. That made for a very friendly

:20:34.:20:40.

collaboration. The fact that this music Festival managed to brew Tony

:20:41.:20:44.

Banks make the line between official and found very thin indeed. It as

:20:45.:20:53.

all the hallmarks of Tony's grasp of melody and harmony. Particularly if

:20:54.:20:59.

you get a bit and Iraqi and think back to 1977, 1978 year. Thd piece

:21:00.:21:08.

as a working title because Tony buyers couldn't think of another

:21:09.:21:12.

better one. So how is this 40 mini masterpiece going? It is a fairly

:21:13.:21:16.

traumatic experience becausd you just have one go at it. When you do

:21:17.:21:20.

these kind of rehearsals and new beginnings as peculiar, then it

:21:21.:21:24.

starts to coalesce and crystallises out of nothing. By the end, it

:21:25.:21:27.

sounded pretty good. I was pleased with it. If it had been the version

:21:28.:21:32.

on the day I would been happy with it. You considered using full colour

:21:33.:21:40.

in a? not with this. Sorry Genesis fans, I tried my best. As using have

:21:41.:21:53.

strawberries and cream and blackcurrant juicy!

:21:54.:21:57.

As you will know the World Cup is underway.

:21:58.:21:59.

The first game tonight is Brazil against Croatia.

:22:00.:22:02.

The World Cup is guaranteed to be a tense time

:22:03.:22:09.

The Bristol Old Vic is recrdating all the drama ` on stage.

:22:10.:22:29.

And at the Bristol Old Vic, the 1966 version starts its run with

:22:30.:22:44.

Recreating the story that?s kept the dream alive for many,

:22:45.:22:59.

at least football fans won't have to choose between coming to thd theatre

:23:00.:23:03.

When England are playing late at night, they can come here and watch

:23:04.:23:14.

the show and go home at 11pl and watch the opening of the gale. It is

:23:15.:23:18.

all scheduled so football f`ns can see what is happening in 2004 and

what happened in 1966. That's the fans taken care of, but

:23:21.:23:21.

what about those who find football I thought this could be rubbish

:23:22.:23:35.

because it is all about football. But it is more about the hulan

:23:36.:23:39.

stories behind it. I've been bowled over by it and recommend it to

:23:40.:23:40.

non`football fans, too. The stars that played that

unforgettable match are as famous as the game itself, with thd golden

and that culminates with hil leading the squad out into the final and

achieve the dream. At least this show has a fantastic

:23:59.:23:59.

happy ending guaranteed. England's chances in today?s real

:24:00.:24:01.

World Cup competitions, It is amazing what you can do with a

:24:02.:24:18.

piece of Green cloth and sole imagination.

:24:19.:24:26.

Indeed, we continue with those dry prospects as we head into tomorrow.

:24:27.:24:45.

Let me start off by showing you a lovely satellite photo courtesy of

:24:46.:24:51.

NASA. This was taken at abott 1 0 PM, not directly over head so it

:24:52.:24:58.

looks a bit skewed. But what it does show is how we have all this

:24:59.:25:00.

fairweather cloud building tp inland. You can see how the coastal

:25:01.:25:07.

strips are cloud free, courtesy of the breezes here. Those indded have

:25:08.:25:11.

invaded further eastwards and so many more of you are now seding a

:25:12.:25:16.

good deal of sunshine. I will be the story throughout tomorrow, some very

:25:17.:25:20.

warm conditions and temperatures somewhat up even from today. There

:25:21.:25:21.

is the chance somewhat up even from today. There

:25:22.:25:25.

is of an isolated shower or thunderstorm as we get late into the

:25:26.:25:30.

evening. I stress the word hsolated. So high pressure is dominathng the

:25:31.:25:33.

pattern, which has become a familiar for now. But towards the North West

:25:34.:25:40.

's you can see clouds running through the course of tomorrow. They

:25:41.:25:43.

will be the source of the instability that could give rise to

:25:44.:25:47.

one or two showers. They should not take the shine off what will be a

:25:48.:25:51.

very pleasant summers day. For that matter, a very pleasant sumler's

:25:52.:25:57.

evening. Much of the cloud has disbursed, we were leading to clear

:25:58.:26:00.

skies through the cause of tonight, very light as well. And the

:26:01.:26:07.

temperatures by the early hours by daybreak tomorrow, will be `bout 11

:26:08.:26:12.

or 13 Celsius. The lowest wd will see is about eight Celsius somewhere

:26:13.:26:16.

in the countryside. There whll be some shallow mist and fog around in

:26:17.:26:20.

parts of Devon, but that will burn off readily at first light tomorrow

:26:21.:26:25.

morning. High UV levels agahn, very high pollen counts, those lhght

:26:26.:26:29.

winds remaining a feature. Luch like today, that's fairweather cloud

:26:30.:26:33.

tends to bubble up as you c`n further eastwards. Not so mtch on

:26:34.:26:39.

the coastal fringes though. Later on, through the course of the

:26:40.:26:41.

evening, we will get signals for the showers that will start to pop up.

:26:42.:26:44.

The slight probability of any of these spoiling your barbecud is

:26:45.:26:48.

extremely low. But cater for that possibility anyway. Particularly in

:26:49.:26:52.

parts of Gloucestershire whdre the threat tends to be higher. Parts of

:26:53.:26:59.

Wiltshire two. Temperatures tomorrow then, that will be the acid test. We

:27:00.:27:09.

may see probably 24 or 25 ddgrees in parts of Gloucestershire and

:27:10.:27:11.

Wiltshire. All of you should be safely getting close to the low 20s

:27:12.:27:17.

nonetheless. On Saturday, there will be more cloud around and maxbe some

:27:18.:27:20.

light, drizzling rain from time to time. That will not detract from

:27:21.:27:25.

what is a perfectly nice dax with temperatures at about 20 Celsius.

:27:26.:27:32.

Back to the same story on Stnday. Thank you Ian. Come and havd some

:27:33.:27:34.

strawberries and cream. finding out how people are getting

:27:35.:27:35.

on three months after
