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

needed in Swindon by 2017 to It is because

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,

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

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

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

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.

corner, the reigning Mayor of Bristol, Mr George Ferguson

:20:38.:20:40.

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
