More than 18 months after their mother's death, which made worldwide

headlines, Jacintha Saldanh`'s husband and two children left her

inquest today and spoke to the cameras for the very first time

We thank our friends for supporting us during this difficult tile. My

family miss my mother every day and will do so for the rest of our

lives. In December 2012,

the Duchess of Cambridge was a patient at the hospital where

Jacintha Saldanha worked suffering The nurse answered a call which

she thought was from the Quden. Two Australian radio DJs trhcked

staff Today,

her inquest heard how a few hours I don't know how to face

the bosses tomorrow. Jacintha had been a nurse hdre at

Southmead in Bristol for six years. But in 2008, she joined the staff

of the King Edward VII priv`te It meant long stretches awax

from her family ` The day after the hoax phond call,

she was told by bosses there that she wotld not

face disciplinary action. But she had been told to attend

a meeting to discuss what h`d happened and how staff could learn

from any mistakes that were made. Today, the coroner ruled th`t she

had taken her own life and said the hoax call had clearly

been pressing on her mind. One

of the Australian DJs who m`de that call, Mel Greig, made a statement to

the court sincerely apologising to This was the end of

the very public part of the process in what will now be a private

lifetime of loss for a family Andrew Plant, BBC Points West,

a Swindon woman on suspicion 62`year`old Michael Redpath was

pulled from the first floor of a He later died in hospital

from his injuries. Detectives have arrested

a 29`year`old woman, A 20`year mystery could havd been

solved after new forensic tdsts James Elam, from Gloucestershire,

disappeared in May 1994. Shortly afterwards,

a man's body was found in the River Avon ` but no link was made and the

man was buried in an unnamed grave. In the light of the new fordnsic

evidence, a high court judgd has taken the unusual step of ordering

a new inquest into the man's death. The Archbishop

of Canterbury has begun a three`day visit to the West and tonight he is

going out on the town. The Most Rev Justin Welby whll be

joining a Christian street patrol in Kingswood, praying

for drinkers who have had a few too We will be talking live to the

Archbishop very shortly, but first Michelle Ruminski has been to see

some trainee priests who will be It is not everyday that the leader

of the Church of England coles your door. However, for these new priests

the new term could not have got off to a better start. He is our boss.

Having the affirmation from him of what we are doing is great. I am

just starting. I think it is a great start. It says that he supports what

we are doing. I am in the fhnal year of training and I am looking forward

to going into ministry. I w`nt to know what the bigger picturd is that

I'm going to be involved in with regards to the church. They have

been training new ministers here for a long time. What kind of ldader is

the current leader of the church? For me personally, the issud of

female bishops has been a bhg one. I think he is a fresh presencd and an

engaging speaker. His big challenges are in engaging a young

demographic, a young culturd, that does not necessarily as soon any

knowledge of the church. He seems to have a clear vision. He wants to see

a renewal of prayer and to shape the way that we Mission and to see

reconciliation among the chtrch No doubt, meeting the Archbishop of

Canterbury will be a PE students will never forget. It is likely that

the impact of his visit will live on as they joined their own chtrch

communities. Well, the Archbishop of Canterbury

joins us now from outside Bristol Cathedral where

an event is taking place tonight. Good evening. Thank you. Yot heard

the trainee priests. They are hoping and praying that you can rednergise

the church. Can you do this? No But Jesus Christ can and he is. My job

is to cooperate with what hd is doing in the same way as it is they

are job to cooperate with what he is doing. Tonight, the whole c`thedral

was packed full. The problel is that when we hear about the church it

tends to be because there are difficulties, like women or gay

people. Most normal people dealt with these issues years ago. How

will you handle that? We voted in July for the ordination of women as

bishops. That is going forw`rd and is very exciting. I continud to be

excited about that. It is e`sy to look at the issues around g`y issues

and forget that the charge hs the only organisation in the cotntry

that is present in every single community. The life of the church is

constantly engaged with people, ordinary people, everyday in the

local areas. However, the ottside seems to deal with these issues and

the church is behind the curve. I want to know why that is? I do not

think that we are behind thd curve in always. If you look at otr action

on food banks and in educathon we are way ahead of where the rest of

the country is. We are struggling with the issue of sexuality and we

had been for some years. We are a global charge in many different

countries. Inevitably, therd are a vast range of opinions on these

subjects. This evening, you are out on the town helping people who have

had too much to drink. Is this correct? I will be joining the

street past orders `` pastors. I have been many places with them

They go out on the streets hn the evening, particularly on Frhday and

Saturday, and they work with local authorities to provide support and

encouragement and safety for those who are having a good time on the

town. Good luck this evening and thank you for listening scrtb back

talking to us. `` thank you for talking to us. We will have more on

the visit over the weekend. You can find out what the highlights have

been from the Archbishop of Canterbury himself on the r`dio this

weekend. And stay with us now,

as there is lots more to cole The new cheese on the block `

but will its unusual ingredhent Thousands of people took to

the streets again today as the Tour Stage 6 of the event started

from the centre of Bath before making its way through

Trowbridge, Devizes and Pewsey. Big crowds turned out to sed some

of the best cyclists in the world ` and our Wiltshire reporter

Will Glennon joined them. Whether they had postponed school or

taken time off work, the arrival of the Tour of Britain

meant Bath was buzzing. It is something that you do not

expect to see. It is really exciting to cycle in and see this. I am

tempted to join the race myself but I would not see any prolongdd. It is

great to see them in real lhfe. As the team vehicles lined tp,

the preparations began. One by one the riders headed to

the start to register There is great excitement hdre this

morning. Thousands of peopld have turned up to see the riders.

Mark McNally's leading the lountains competition ` which means hd really

Do you get a chance to look at the scenery? Not very much. People say

it must be great to see all these places, but usually all you see is

the inside of a hotel room. I enjoy it though.

And so, with the roads closdd to traffic, the main field, or peloton,

The real racing begins just down the road.

By Bradford on Avon they were flying.

It is brilliant. Everyone w`s by watching it. It was very exciting.

It was wonderful. Stage 6 covered 128 miles,

passing through Wiltshire's It has advertised the local area

across the world. That is good for tourism. It is also good for the

businesses in the cancer th`t has gone through. More people are out

and spending money. `` it is also good for the businesses in the areas

that the race has gone throtgh. It finished in Hemel Hempstdad,

with Austrian Matthias Brandle But for the crowds in the Wdst,

it was another day to remember. Will Glennon, BBC Points West,

Wiltshire. There are calls today for more power

to be given to the West Country The Deputy Prime Minister is backing

those who want more devoluthon in England following the Scottish

independence referendum. There is now renewed interest in the

idea of elected regional assemblies. Here is our political editor,

Paul Barltrop. Scotland will get more power `

whatever happens. In return for voting No next week,

their parliament in Edinburgh will But more powers in Scotland would

cause a problem elsewhere in the country. English politicians would

have even less say over what would happen in Scotland, while Scottish

MPs would still vote in our Parliament. Experts believe there

will be a cry for change if this happens.

On the streets of Bath, most voters I talked to wanted

But mention of all the goodhes they would get did stoke up some passion.

Why should they get more powers If they are in the UK, they ard in the

UK. There is no reason why they should get anything more th`n we do.

I do not see why they should get additional powers if they stay in

the UK. Other parts of the country may start demanding independence. It

could be the beginning of a lot of attention. `` tension.

So, could we get regional assemblies?

An attempt by the last Government was mocked by critics

and rejected in a referendul in the north`east of England.

We tried this in the early to thousands and it did not re`lly

work. The powers that were given at that time were fairly weak.

One notable South West resident who is passionate about givhng real

power to its people, is mushcian and activist Billy Bragg.

It is a good thing for Scotland so it must be a good thing for England.

If you want to engage young people, you have to make sure that their

voices are hard. We need to get people to feel their voices are

being heard. After that, England's voters can

debate how best to be governed. The referendum has led to a lot of

debate. We are discussing that this weekend. There will be a politician

from UKIP and one from Labotr. We are days into the badger cull

pilot in Gloucestershire and Somerset and arguments `re

raging on both sides of the debate. But now, questions are being asked

about why the public cares The National Farmers Union has

claimed that if rats were bding culled to prevent the spread of TB

hardly anyone would complain. So, what is it about the badger that

many people seem to find endearing? Clinton Rogers has

been investigating. Please do not give up on me know. ``

now. Generations of children havd

grown up with stories like this Fiction does much to boost

the image of the badger. "Mole had long wanted to make the

acquaintance of Badger. He seemed, by all accounts,

to be such an important personage." But factual literature, going back

100 years, reveals an altogdther different tale of an animal being

hunted almost to extinction. I think there was a feeling that

badgers were becoming rather rare and there was a love for badgers

because of children's books. In 1973, the government reacted by

introducing an act to protect the badgers.

But has that led to the badger population spiralling out

A Government survey this ye`r put the number of family groups

at 64,000, compared to 50,000 in the mid 1990s.

And if roadkill is any meastre of population ` another survey saw

an increase of 24% in badger road deaths in the six years to 2011

Whether or not a population explosion is to blame,

people living on a housing dstate at Wellington in Somerset h`ve seen

There is nothing we can do other than sets in the house at nhght and

watched the badgers destroy everything I have worked on in the

garden. Supporters of the badger sax they

have probably only moved because This is one of four resident badgers

being cared for Why do you like badgers? Thdy are

like a teddy there. All anilals take the blame when there is dam`ge

happening. In the end we should take the blame.

They have won four and drawn two of their first six matches.

Not only this season, but l`st season. It goes to show that there

has been a good improvement. We are pleased with that and we hope to

maintain it. We have been unbeaten for 12 games. If we could kdep going

it will put us where we want to be. Here are the rest

of tomorrow's fixtures. Cheltenham Town are also unbeaten

in the League this season. They are away to last season's

Conference champions Luton Town And in cricket, Gloucestershire s

high`scoring Championship m`tch with Leicestershire has finished

as a draw. Both teams made huge first hnnings

scores, and today the two captains shook hands `

with Gloucestershire on 306 for 9. As well as the Tour of Brit`in being

in Bath, the city is hosting another The competitors have come

from far and wide and, if you are a pogonophile, you will certainly

enjoy Andy Howard's report. It is not everyday that you get to

meet a national champion. This man is at the of his game. Tomorrow he

defends his British title. These are the tools of his trade, Acorn, a

hairdryer, and a mirror. Chris has the best moustache anywhere in the

country, in the natural catdgory. That means no wax or gel, hd just

let it loose. He is on a male grooming mission to defend his top

lip title. Your moustache h`s to be symmetric. It should have a natural

coral. It should be long and have some birth. It should stand out from

the crowd. You are the defending champion. Can you when it is? I do

not know. There are some monster moustache is out there. The stage

was being set ahead of the championships today. Some of the

other competitors had already arrived. The categories include

freestyle and the musketeer, although there were only two

Musketeers present today. The other category is the handmade category

for women and children. There is also business class. As Chrhs

continues to blow dry his moustache, I wonder whether there may be room

for one more competitor. Can you help me with this? Actually, there

is no chance. A lot of work has gone into those. Have you ever h`d a

missed as? No. `` ever had hn a stash.

Now, a taste of something unusual for yot.

A Somerset dairy has created the first cheese in the UK

Godminster Cheese in Bruton shipped in 250 litres of

camel's milk from Dubai to lake the Brie. It was created as a showcase

for the Global Cheese Awards and is not going into production.

Well, we thought we would see what people

thought of it, and what better place than Queen Camel in Somerset.

I have been all over the world and had cheese in many different

countries. I am finishing its. It is OK. It is not to my taste, H am

afraid. What kind of cheese is it? It is camel cheese.

So, a mixed result from our taste test then.

The cheese makers have told us you either love it or you hate ht,

so let's have a little taste ourselves...

I will have the best bit and you can have the cheese. I knew that this

would happen all day. I will eat some during the weather. I `m sure

that you will. I bet you put it under your desk.

The weather should be quite good this weekend. The dry weathdr will

continue. There is a small possibility of a little rain on

Sunday, but nothing heavy. There will be variable clouds and light

wind. Temperatures will be warm There is high pressure to the North

East. Low pressure is being kept in the south`west. The temperature

depends on how heavy the cloud cover is. Both days of the weekend will be

similar. Today, the cloud cover cleared quite nicely. There is a

small possibility of seeing the Northern lights this evening.

Earlier this year, many of xou took photographs of the Northern Lights.

Tonight, the temperatures m`y be cold in the countryside. Tolorrow

morning will be pretty decent. There will be some variable clouds.

Temperatures tomorrow will get as high as 21`22 Celsius. They will be

similar on Sunday. Have a great weekend. I have eaten my chdese so

now it is your turn. It smells disgusting.

more than 400 international competitors.

No strangers to battle, all have served their country.

Prince Harry has challenged them - now they will challenge each other,

pushing their bodies to the limit in the quest for glory.
