Our headlines tonight... for the news where you are.

A seedier side to Weston-super-Mare - claims that a business offering

adult services employed vulnerable teenagers to hand out leaflets.

I've seen a lot in my time, yeah, that I should not have seen.

Fists fly in a massive pub brawl in Trowbridge.

A policeman says it's the worst he's seen in 20 years.

A BBC investigation has found evidence of teenagers

being exploited by a brothel in Weston-super-Mare.

Butterfly's operates less than 500 yards from the local police

and council, and confidential documents show the authorities

discussed vulnerable teenagers being used to hand out leaflets

The Class A drugs are from around the Bonville area.

She had a difficult adolescence, including drug use.

At her most vulnerable, she handed out leaflets

We had to make sure that we would look OK and that we had basically

dressed like a load of prostitutes, stood on a street corner.

Did social services know about you being there?

People were telling them that I was walking around dressed

like that, handing out a load of leaflets in town,

These are not the leaflets but she says she even

used her own image on them and that she helped out inside.

I have cleaned quite a few rooms in there before and, like,

The way that it's all done, it's like a show.

It's like they're ready to show off their bodies and a man would sit

in a chair and all the women would walk in in their underwear

and he would literally get to pick which one he wanted.

For the last ten years, the woman with the lease

on the brothel has been Natalie Davis.

It is clearly more than a massage parlour.

There is Natalie's mobile number, and it says, "We aim to keep

Working in a brothel is not illegal but running one

is, so is Butterfly's still operating?

We sent in an undercover reporter to find out.

At this point, we made our excuses and left.

These confidential documents show that the council and Avon

and Somerset Police discussed Butterfly's and teenage girls

At that time when she came to us we gave her advice and very

strong support around how dangerous that was.

Your staff should have been aware of that.

Well, my staff passed that information on to the police

in regard to an establishment that was a massage parlour

using a 15-year-old to distribute leaflets and the police took that

information and then did some checks and we have had no more referrals

through to us around young people frequenting that establishment.

Natalie didn't respond to our enquiries so I went to see her.

Why are you implying 15-year-old girls to work in your brothel? Do

you know they are 15? Natalie has closed both of the

curtains, clearly she doesn't want to talk to us about these

allegations. The council and Avon

and Somerset Police say they are proactive and serious

about safeguarding and will act Police say they found no

evidence of underage girls Despite all the problems in Weston,

Amber has turned her life around, but it hasn't been easy,

and what about all the other You can see the full investigation

for this week's Inside Out West two, which is available on the BBC

website. The police are carrying out a murder

investigation tonight after a woman's body was found

in a house in Bristol. A man has been arrested

on suspicion of murder following the discovery

at Kensington Park in Easton. Avon and Somerset Police have

referred the case to the Independent Police Complaints Commission

because there had been police contact with

the woman before she died. A massive brawl broke out

in a bar in Trowbridge, leaving a police officer

and a number of bystanders injured. The police are now trying to find

out how the fight broke out and are studying phone footage taken

on the night. The Albany Palace bar in Trowbridge,

erupting into violence in the early I've never seen

nothing like it, mate. 21-year-old lorry driver

Tommy Arkle from Devizes filmed His friend had to be rushed to

hospital in Bath, covered in blood. I walked down to the bar with a few

mates and had a few drinks. Turned round and then next minute

a bottle came across, hit me on the head and then I think

I got hit on the eye as well You wouldn't expect it in a little

town, just to go out for a couple of drinks,

come back and... This police sergeant

knows Trowbridge well. I think there are always incidents,

where alcohol is involved, there is always the possibility

of there being disorder, but I think it is unusual to have

that sort of scale of disorder Wetherspoon's says the fight caused

distress for customers One-off, perhaps, but it

still raises concerns about safety Usually the little ones can be

controlled and it doesn't really bother you but when something

like that big is happening you just want to kind of step back

and there is no way to get out. It doesn't make you

feel very safe, no. I see little fights all the time,

but they get controlled, and big ones like that don't seem

to occur regularly. But, no, I think they should be

ashamed of themselves. Police are appealing

for anyone who witnessed Bristol Rovers have said

they will not be pursuing their complaint against Bristol City

over the transfer of Matty Taylor. Rovers had said they

were going to make an official complaint

to the English Football League, following the 26-year-old

striker's move last month. Taylor was the first player to leave

Rovers for City for 30 years. This is Stephen Sykes,

been too ill to play. He has an aggressive cancer,

marrow, which means that without a stem cell transplant,

it's not looking too good, really. Normally this would be OK

because there is the donor system now, but they can't find a donor

to other musicians. In Cornwall, members

of St Austell Town Band Take the swabs out, swab the inside

of your cheek and just put them back in here and we'll send

them back off and then see if it is a match

for anybody to help. Are you quite impressed with the way

the brass community has I'm not surprised but,

yeah, I'm impressed. We've got the whole band and also

the whole banding world in Cornwall. Yesterday, Facebook and Twitter just

went wild with people from all over the county saying,

today after a few days of gloomy weather. Through the next few days

it will stay mild but with a bit more cloud. Through the night the

wind will ease down from the east. We will see the cloud rolling in

from the west and temperatures will fall back to four or 5 degrees, a

few sheltered spots down to two or three, but we should stay frost

free. Quite chilly start to Tuesday morning, bright spells further East

first thing, but the cloud increasing through the day and some

outbreaks of rain, mostly light and patchy and it should have cleared

away by the afternoon. Temperatures nine or 10 degrees and the wind from

south-easterly correction, much lighter than today. As we head into

Wednesday it looks like it will be another cloudy start to the morning.

Further outbreaks of showery rain. It could have a bit of thunder to it

through Wednesday afternoon but gradually it will ease off and we

will see Sunny spells and temperatures on Wednesday

at the weekend it will be mild. Largely dry, perhaps a wind -- windy

felt like spring today. A beautiful day in some places, such as the West

Country.
