Six. Welcome to BBC Points West, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
with Sabet Choudhury and Aldx Lovell The blind Bristol woman vichously | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
treated while out in public. After becoming blind a year ago | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Kathy Baxter says her life hs now When I get older, I hear people | :00:13. | :00:29. | |
saying that they had followdd me home and they know nuclear payload. | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
We will be asking what help is available for others | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Also in the programme, the Ministry of Justice findd | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
after losing the details of nearly 3,000 prisoners at a West j`il. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
Bristol Rovers takes legal action against Sainsbury's. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
The club says the development of the new stadium is taking too long. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Bristol's mayor backs a plan to keep the kids off the streets. | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
And the whale considered too religious for the parks in London | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
makes its way to the beach in Weston`super`Mare. | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
A woman from Bristol says she has been mugged, punched | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
and threatened since becoming blind a year ago after having a stroke. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Kathy Baxter says the situation has become unbearable | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
and that she had no idea disabled people were being treated this way. | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
Kathy Baxter He is happiest at home. It is clear she feels safe. It is | :01:36. | :01:50. | |
when she associated a white stick that the abuse starts. He m`y be | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
something simple like a snide remark or a sarcastic comment. She has had | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
her handbag snatched and bedn pushed over in a supermarket. A lady pushed | :02:02. | :02:11. | |
me into a shelf and I feel overall the curtains. I pushed her back and | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
she punched me in the face. She became blind last year after having | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
a stroke. As the affected hdr behaviour towards others? It does | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
make me rather angry and frtstrated. But after a while, I have hdard | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
other people coming out with me and they have said, no that is not the | :02:36. | :02:48. | |
case. She is writing about her loss of sight and with it and loss of | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
independence. If the people who abuse this could lead it, what would | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
they think? It made me cry when I wrote it, so maybe it would make | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
them think twice about the heart they are causing. The policd say | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
they have to deal with about 80 instances like this each ye`r. They | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
say the cases are unreported and urged victims to report any | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
incidents to the police. Joining us now is Scott Wood, | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
from Action for Blind Peopld. Unfortunately, it is rather | :03:29. | :03:48. | |
unreported. The study recently said that disabled people in gendral | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
60,000 disabled people a ye`r are subjected to this kind of claim The | :03:57. | :04:08. | |
suggested may four times as many people disabled people are subjected | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
to this as opposed to able`bodied people. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Do we need more instances like this to be reported? | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
We work with people with all sorts of disabilities and we help them | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
with the likes of their daily routine, employment. Things like | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
this, when they happen, we `re there to help them emotionally. Would you | :04:42. | :04:55. | |
encourage people to report ht more? Absolutely. It is very important | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
that people go to the policd. It is the emotional damage, that hs the | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
hardest thing to deal with. Yes going out and about as a blhnd | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
person can be quite dramatic in itself. To be subjected to these | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
terrible things like she has heard, it just makes it so much worse. It | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
of blind people are very isolated in of blind people are very isolated in | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
the home and this type of thing going on is not going to encourage | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
people to get out and about. The Ministry of Justice has been | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
fined ?180,000 by a governmdnt watchdog, after a computer hard | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
drive containing sensitive and confidential information was | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
lost at a West prison. The hard drive had details | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
of nearly 3,000 prisoners The back`up hardrive was | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
lost here in May last year. It was not encrypted | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
and contained sensitive and confidential information, | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
including links to organised crime, visitors to the prison and, most | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
alarmingly, material about victims. The Information Commissioner's | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
Office investigation into the mistake revealed that | :05:59. | :05:59. | |
the prison service did not dven realise that the encryption option | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
needed to be turned on to protect the highly`sensitive data hhdden | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
on the back`up hard drive. And it was not just Erlestoke | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
which failed to so seriouslx. The investigation discovered that | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
information was being insectrely handled at all 74 prisons in England | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
and Wales. The Information Commissioner's | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
Office investigation into the mistake revealed that | :06:20. | :06:20. | |
the prison service did not dven realise that the encryption option | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
needed to be turned on to protect the highly`sensitive data hhdden | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
on the back`up hard drive. We are saying to them by thhs | :06:27. | :06:38. | |
penalty that the Ministry of Justice must treat personal information | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
properly. The need to keep ht secure. Failure to do so in this way | :06:43. | :06:55. | |
simply will not be tolerated. The hard drive has still not bedn found. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
They did institute a search. They could not find and that is part of | :07:02. | :07:11. | |
the problem. Although the Mhnistry of Justice came back and sahd it was | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
in the public domain, they do nicely know that. They do not know where it | :07:18. | :07:18. | |
is. And it was not just Erlestoke | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
which failed to so seriouslx. The investigation discovered that | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
information was being insectrely handled at all 74 prisons in England | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
and Wales. Steve is here with those in the | :07:26. | :07:43. | |
studio. The watchdog are very angry about this? In government tdrms | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
they have been told very firmly to get their act together. Previously, | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
details of the President Surrey have been lost. It was the failure to | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
turn the encryption device on, that is the most astonishing thing. They | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
made the point that they lost it, extraordinary to lose this sort of | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
thing. Imagine the informathon on victims of crime that may bd out | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
there. Then, they said, thex could not find it. They are very cross | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
about this. It is very unustal for a government department fining another | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
department. This is unparalleled and not the first time it has h`ppened. | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
All in all, this is a fundalental role between two government | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
agencies. But these details are known to. It is very bad news | :08:51. | :08:51. | |
indeed. Bristol Rovers are taking ldgal | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
action against Sainsbury's over delays to the proposed development | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
of their Memorial Stadium home. The future of the scheme has been | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
thrown into doubt after it was revealed the supermarket ch`in | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
wants to pull out of the de`l. Rovers need to sell their ground | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
to pay for a new stadium. This is the plan, a new stadium | :09:08. | :09:25. | |
which will be financed by sdlling their current stadium. The | :09:26. | :09:39. | |
background to the throne Ashley lies in twin deliveries could be made to | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
the new supermarket. The inhtial proposals were rejected in January. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
They are now looking to terlinate the Memorial Stadium deal. But | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Bristol Rovers see they are obliged to submit an appeal and that the | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
supermarket refused to do so. One was finally launched last month | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
after Rovers see the paid for independent experts to look at the | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
proposals. They are now wanting to recover their costs and dam`ges | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Just last week, the chairman said the deal was watertight. We are | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
going through finalising thd contract details. Hopefully, it will | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
be resolved in the next couple months. Sylvia does that le`ve us. | :10:34. | :10:46. | |
In November, the situation regarding delivery teams will be here. | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
Whatever the outcome, Bristol Rovers on the supermarket and no appear to | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
be rather reluctant partners. programme revealing how anilals hear | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
the world around them. And too religious for London but | :11:03. | :11:19. | |
having a whale of a time on Weston Three new secondary schools are | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
needed in Swindon by 2017 to It is because | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
of a growing population Proposals for two are being sent to | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
the government this autumn, but they need the backing of local p`rents, | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
as our Wiltshire corresponddnt In the last eight years, | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
almost 700 new primary school places That inevitably means more secondary | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
school places will be needed The council says it has seen | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
the problem and is planning ahead. Swindon is an expanding town. By | :11:54. | :12:17. | |
2026, it will have increased greatly and we need to provide jobs and | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
services. We need about another 200 places for year seven pupils. | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
But with pressures on counchl budgets, money to build new | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
That is where places like New College come in. | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
The people behind this have put togethdr | :12:35. | :12:35. | |
The government would pay to build it, New College would run it. | :12:36. | :12:45. | |
Free school because it is the quickest way. If they like the | :12:46. | :12:57. | |
situation, the department whll pay for the land and the revenud stream | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
for each student. It is the quickest way to getting to three of the town | :13:04. | :13:04. | |
needs to be. A second Free School for Swhndon is | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
being proposed by the Diocese of Bristol. | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
It would have a christian ethos but The track stars of a very good | :13:10. | :13:23. | |
record nationally. We think that they would be pleased to have a | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
first`class Church of England school as part of the schools in the town. | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
For Free Schools to get govdrnment approval, they need the backing | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
700 must show their support for each school by the deadline in October. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
That is to prove there is both a need and a desire for thel. | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
If they get the go`ahead, both schools hope to be open by 2016 | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
The target numbers of badgers to be shot for the forthcoming cull in | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
Natural England has issued authorisation letters | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
for a new round of culling in Gloucestershire and Somerset | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
confirming that the criteri` for allowing the second year of | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
Under the terms of the authorisation letters, the companies carrxing out | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
the culls will have to kill a minimum number of badgers ` | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
some 615 in Gloucestershire and 316 in Somerset. | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
A date for the cull to start has not been given, but it hs | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Have you ever wondered how animals communicate? | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
The high squeaks, or those deep rumbles. | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
Well, a series on BBC Two, lade by the Natural History team based in | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
The Secret Power of Animals, and presenter Patrick Aryee joins | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
us now, It sounds like a fascinating project. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
Making this series was a phdnomenal experience. It was encounters with | :14:34. | :15:01. | |
incredible animals. It was phenomenal. Tonight, you ard looking | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
at sound. What can we look forward to? Yes, it is all about sotnd. It | :15:11. | :15:26. | |
is so the likes of elephants listen out for the secret sounds of the | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
planet, such as anticipating thunderstorms. We turned a camper | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
van into a giant speaker. It sounds bizarre, but it will become clear. | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
We can recreate in the low`frequency sound a thunderstorm, to sed how | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
they would react. It may sedm an unusual choice of speaker, but this | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
requires large volumes of ydar and the inside of this firm offdrs the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
perfect space. With the help of the expert, we are transforming it into | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
a massive speaker. That is `n experiment you are doing, how much | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
is seedy and how much is pr`ctical testing? That is what it is all | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
about. We plugged the speakdr in and the acoustic specialist plaxs out | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
this sound which is a reallx low rumble. I cannot hear anythhng. I | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
can see the vibrations of it. The camper van is rattling away. The | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
actual sound is so low in frequency that you cannot really hear it at | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
all. It is seeping the dist`nt thunderstorm. And you notichng | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
immediate reaction from the herd of elephants. The stopped everxthing | :17:02. | :17:13. | |
went very silent. The through the trunks up in the air, because they | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
have vibration sensitive cells at the tip of the trunks. Faschnating, | :17:20. | :17:27. | |
but we are out of time alre`dy. The episode from last week is only a | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
player. And the great thing is, we could tell you how much you enjoyed | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
making it. Football now | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
and some on`pitch action. The manager of Bristol Rovers says | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
his side have finally turned the corner, after picking up fotr points | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
over the Bank Holiday weekend. Yesterday's West Country derby | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
at Forest Green finished as 1`1 in front of a record league crowd | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
at the New Lawn. The longest`serving side | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
in the Conference against the one still getting used | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
to its new surroundings. Nearly 1,900 Bristol Rovers fans | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
travelled hoping to see signs This should be a preseason friendly, | :17:58. | :18:19. | |
not only game, but that tells you how much we have gone down. | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
Forest Green were unbeaten, while Bristol Rovers had finally won | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
Playing with more confidencd, they thought they had a first half | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
The second half provided the breakthrough. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
Andy Monkhouse's header going in off the post. | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
And it could have been 2`0, but Matt Taylor was denied `gain. | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
Instead, Forest Rovers upped their game and Jon Parkin dhverted | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
Neither side could convert late chances to win the gamd. | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
A weekend that relieved a lhttle of the pressure on Bristol Rovers, | :18:48. | :19:01. | |
They dominated in the first half and we found it hard. But we nedd to | :19:02. | :19:12. | |
improve alert. We have turndd the corner. We had a disastrous first | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
week. We have regrouped. But with what they gave me today and on | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Saturday, we are moving in the right direction. We played pretty well. | :19:24. | :19:35. | |
Not a bad game. I am happy. It is a new stage which asked to settle in. | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
We need to knuckle down and get on with it. | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
A weekend that relieved a lhttle of the pressure on Bristol Rovers, | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
but only a small step on a very long journey back. | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
Swindon Town will be trying to make it through to the third round | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
The Robins face Championship opponents Brighton at the | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
They have won both their hole matches so far this season. | :19:57. | :20:11. | |
For the last seven years, a charity has been using boxing to brhng help | :20:12. | :20:27. | |
to those in need. They have enjoyed the high`profile support to | :20:28. | :20:28. | |
celebrate the latest funding. In the Blue corner, reigning British | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
Bantamweight Champion, Mr Lde Haskins and in the red trousers | :20:36. | :20:37. | |

Well, there are photo opportunities and photo opportunities, but this is | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
closer to taking your life hnto your own hands. | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
And that is partly the point of this charity. | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
Giving disadvantaged young people getting involved in positivd | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
activities and especially in sport. And with new premises to develop, it | :20:53. | :21:04. | |
Table tennis is one of the sports. There is going to be a gymn`sium. | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
This is at the heart of what the charity has been doing, which is | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
boxing. It gives them a much bigger space for the boxing gym. Sport has | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
always been our passion. We have always been based in the St Paul's | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
area. It was seeing the imp`ct sport can have earned the impact ht can | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
have the likes of education. Those areas which are vital for the skills | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
they can weigh in sport thex can take into life in other things. The | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
likes of the work ethic, thd discipline. What we're doing with | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
spear time before you got involved? And how has it changed? I al much | :22:03. | :22:15. | |
more up for doing stuff now. With new premises to develop, it is | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
hoping to do something for lany other youngsters. | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
A giant inflatable whale, b`nned from parks in London for behng too | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
religious, has popped up on the beach in Weston` super`Mare. The | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
Bible Society are using the 50`foot inflatable to re`enact the story of | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Jonah and the Whale. It will be there for three days. A spokesman | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
for North Somerset Council said it was "quite happy" to host the Bible | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
Society. So, the whale has now found a | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
temporary home, fittingly, by the sea, after being turned awax from | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
I am really pleased to see ht here. We were thinking, well in t`ke it. | :22:51. | :23:12. | |
It was the content of the show which caused the problem for the people | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
who run the Royal Parks in London ` in short, too religious. | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
This is a first for me. Crawling out of the belly of the wheel. The Bible | :23:26. | :23:39. | |
societies say this is not about ramming religion down the throats of | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
young people, but they do w`nt to emphasise that the story is a | :23:44. | :23:54. | |
biblical one. The Royal Parks EV do not encourage any sort of rdligious | :23:55. | :23:55. | |
displays. But when the Swindon`based Bible | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
Society then decided to stage the show closer to home, North Somerset | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
Council had no problem. Not too religious? No, the children | :24:02. | :24:20. | |
are enjoying a great story. It was fun and I liked it. Is this pushing | :24:21. | :24:32. | |
the Babel to children? No, H do not think they see it like that. | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
Jonah, so the story goes, spent three days inside a whale So, that | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
is how long the whale will be staying here. | :24:42. | :24:52. | |
Now, to the weather. I was `t the beach threat yesterday, which was | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
not so nice, with the rain. Many of you falling foul of the bank | :25:00. | :25:16. | |
holiday River. Tomorrow, we are expected to stay dry until later in | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
the afternoon. Nothing so b`d to replicate the conditions of | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
yesterday. The radar picturd shows the line of showers heading from | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
East to West. One or two ardas of light rain across northern `reas | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
this evening. We should be hn for a dry night. In for a dry night. Will | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
continue until this system from the West pushes in the afternoon. For | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
the rest of this evening, the showers will fade away. Gendrally, a | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
lot of cloud around. Temper`tures for the most part around nine or 10 | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
Celsius. Try in the course of the morning, but as we get later into | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
the afternoon, the first spots of light rain. These will affect the | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
West at first and then gradtally, as the hours go by, it will spread | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
through the region. The rain will not be particularly heavy. On | :26:44. | :26:57. | |
Thursday, a moderately breezy day. Beyond that, there should bd a | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
reasonable spell of dry weather on Thursday morning. But at thd tail | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
end of Thursday, the next low pressure pushing, bringing some more | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
rain. Some of these showers could be thundery and heavy. They will age | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
away as we get into Saturdax. Saturday looking better as the day | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
goes on, so Sunday looking their best day. That is some part two | :27:24. | :27:32. | |
