Child health experts say they're concerned that a former doctor

:00:00.:00:17.

from Bath is being given an international platform for his

:00:18.:00:22.

An MEP invited Andrew Wakefield to Brussels to show

:00:23.:00:27.

Mr Wakefield also says he's met Donald Trump

:00:28.:00:31.

Our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill reports.

:00:32.:00:38.

The BBC is what is known as fake news.

:00:39.:00:42.

It was the fake findings of Andrew Wakefield's paper

:00:43.:00:44.

two decades ago linking MMR vaccinations and autism that caused

:00:45.:00:48.

One of the signs of that is that for a whole generation

:00:49.:00:55.

we had no cases of measles here at the children's hospital.

:00:56.:00:58.

But two years ago a child went into A who was infected.

:00:59.:01:04.

They simply passed another child who had had an operation and that

:01:05.:01:07.

child was also infected with measles.

:01:08.:01:08.

Yesterday, he was in Brussels to show his new film to some MEPS.

:01:09.:01:16.

An invitation by this Green MEP dcause such an outcry they had

:01:17.:01:19.

to move the venue outside the European Parliament.

:01:20.:01:23.

Requiring children to be vaccinated has passed with support.

:01:24.:01:28.

My oldest son, Ian, was walking and running.

:01:29.:01:30.

After the vaccine, he was no longer able to do that.

:01:31.:01:33.

The CBC had known all along there was this MMR autism risk.

:01:34.:01:41.

And his message is now reaching President Trump,

:01:42.:01:45.

who's just appointed someone who agrees with Mr Wakefield

:01:46.:01:49.

to chair an investigation into vaccine safety.

:01:50.:01:51.

I've met with many politicians over the last 22 years.

:01:52.:01:58.

Most of them look at their watch, they look at their phone.

:01:59.:02:01.

They are not interested in what your talking about.

:02:02.:02:03.

Donald Trump gave us 50 minutes to discuss a very serious issue.

:02:04.:02:11.

He understands it, he gets it, he intends to do something

:02:12.:02:13.

This leading vaccine expert is horrified.

:02:14.:02:16.

It is alarming if it is true that people like Andrew

:02:17.:02:19.

Wakefield, who have been comprehensively discredited

:02:20.:02:20.

professionally, are getting the ear of people who are clearly very

:02:21.:02:23.

In the end, when it comes to public health decisions,

:02:24.:02:29.

you have to look objectively at what everybody has put together.

:02:30.:02:32.

The danger is that we have a return of this problem

:02:33.:02:38.

with people not immunising their children with the vaccine and we see

:02:39.:02:41.

more cases of measles, more cases of mumps,

:02:42.:02:46.

rubella, and people die as a consequence of it.

:02:47.:02:49.

Since Andrew Wakefield was discredited,

:02:50.:02:50.

The big fear now is they could fall again.

:02:51.:02:58.

A security guard arrested on suspicion of manslaughter

:02:59.:03:00.

after a man died outside a shopping centre in Trowbridge has

:03:01.:03:03.

It's thought the man who died could have been

:03:04.:03:07.

shoplifting earlier in the day, and may have been injured

:03:08.:03:09.

Our reporter Scott Ellis has been at the shopping centre

:03:10.:03:13.

The man who died is in his 30s and from Cornwall is a rough sleeper

:03:14.:03:20.

Yesterday, he was spotted by store detectives leaving

:03:21.:03:30.

Sainsbury's with bottles of alcohol stored underneath his jacket to next

:03:31.:03:33.

He was followed by a store detective and the two met in

:03:34.:03:37.

this car park at the Shires shopping centre.

:03:38.:03:39.

There was some kind of altercation between the two of them and

:03:40.:03:41.

the man with the bottles fell to the ground,

:03:42.:03:44.

the bottles shattered and he

:03:45.:03:47.

Paramedics tried to save his life, but he died here at the scene,

:03:48.:03:51.

First, we just tried to block him and then the

:03:52.:03:58.

other guy, he was adamant he wasn't getting away with this drink and

:03:59.:04:01.

then, I don't think it was a thing he meant to do, but he tried to grab

:04:02.:04:05.

him and as he tried to do that, the other

:04:06.:04:08.

guy tried to pull away and he

:04:09.:04:10.

tripped and fell on top of the bottles and there

:04:11.:04:12.

was loads of people around, so

:04:13.:04:15.

I didn't quite see a lot of what was going on.

:04:16.:04:18.

The store detective was arrested on suspicion

:04:19.:04:19.

He has been released since on unconditional bail.

:04:20.:04:25.

These detectives have no more rights than

:04:26.:04:27.

you or I, you can use force if you think a crime has been

:04:28.:04:30.

committed, but it has to be right for that

:04:31.:04:32.

situation and a detective told us these are the things they are having

:04:33.:04:35.

to weigh up as they investigate the case.

:04:36.:04:38.

There are various incidents we understand involving this individual

:04:39.:04:40.

and security staff from the surrounding

:04:41.:04:42.

We were in the process of building up that picture to understand fully

:04:43.:04:49.

what has gone on and that is what our investigation is about, because

:04:50.:04:52.

we need to understand whether or not the force being used was

:04:53.:04:55.

proportionate to the circumstances that unravelled during the course of

:04:56.:05:00.

As the police investigate the case, they are still keen to hear

:05:01.:05:04.

If you were here just after three o'clock in the

:05:05.:05:08.

Shires shopping centre car park, they would like to hear from you.

:05:09.:05:14.

Two men have absconded from a prison in Gloucestershire.

:05:15.:05:16.

28-year-old Nicholas Briggs who was jailed for domestic assault

:05:17.:05:18.

and 52-year-old Anthony McCormick, who's serving a life sentence

:05:19.:05:21.

for rape, were last seen leaving HMP Leyhill just before 5pm yesterday.

:05:22.:05:23.

Police say not to approach them, but to call 999.

:05:24.:05:35.

Members of Avon Fire Authority have today approved plans to end

:05:36.:05:37.

24-hour manned cover at South Gloucestershire station.

:05:38.:05:40.

The plans will see Yate fire station unmanned at night

:05:41.:05:43.

It follows a six-week consultation on the proposed changes.

:05:44.:05:54.

To rugby now, and Tom Varndell has put himself in the record books

:05:55.:05:57.

for Bristol as the premiership's all-time top try scorer tonight

:05:58.:05:59.

But there was little else to smile about for Bristol,

:06:00.:06:09.

It's the sixth defeat in a row for the side in all competitions,

:06:10.:06:13.

and they stay bottom of the Premiership.

:06:14.:06:15.

Meanwhile, Bath beat Northampton in a thrilling match 32-30.

:06:16.:06:17.

Bath scored for tries, before Rhys Priestland won the game

:06:18.:06:20.

That is all from May. Now the weather.

:06:21.:06:39.

But even in. There has been a bit of snow today, there will be more

:06:40.:06:45.

through the weekend. It will end up in both Saturday and Sunday,

:06:46.:06:49.

noticeably colder than the increasingly windy which will allow

:06:50.:06:53.

significant wind-chill and cloud around. A mixture of rain and sleet,

:06:54.:06:58.

but snow will most certainly, though he will be a small accumulation.

:06:59.:07:05.

Temperatures tonight stopping -- dropping to about minus three

:07:06.:07:12.

Celsius, so a raw start to tomorrow. Wintry snow flurries feeding in from

:07:13.:07:16.

the north-east tomorrow. There may be accumulations over the Cotswolds

:07:17.:07:20.

or the Mendips and be surprised if there is a bit of snow at lower

:07:21.:07:23.

levels, but we are not expecting that to be tricky bothersome on the

:07:24.:07:28.

roads. The winds speeds many will be a windy day. Temperatures 2-3 C.

:07:29.:07:32.

Similar on Sunday. exception to that rule probably over

:07:33.:07:36.

the hills where again there could be a bit of snow, but not accumulating.

:07:37.:07:39.

Another cold However I paint this weekend's

:07:40.:07:48.

picture, I'll need a palette of grey. Thereby a a lot of cloud

:07:49.:07:52.

around but I managed to find some sunshine. I don't know how but there

:07:53.:07:58.

was a couple of hours towards the south-west in Cornwall, a beautiful

:07:59.:08:01.

day. The south-west saw glimpses of sunshine. Further east, cloudy, cold

:08:02.:08:06.

and grey with winds off the North seep and a scattering of wintry

:08:07.:08:11.

showers. Yes, rain sleet and snow, a dusting at lower levels through the

:08:12.:08:15.

day. It brought this beautiful picture on the outskirts of

:08:16.:08:23.

Aberdeenshire. But enough of the sun, let's
