A Bristol man who shot a crying toddler in the head with an air

:00:10.:00:13.

rifle has been jailed for two years at Bristol Crown Court.

:00:14.:00:28.

18 month old Harry Studley was left with lifelong

:00:29.:00:34.

A massive weight has been listed off my shoulders now.

:00:35.:00:41.

Today marks the end of the legal battle for Harry's family.

:00:42.:00:45.

But this blue helmet hides the scars he sustained when he was shot

:00:46.:00:48.

This man, 24-year-old Jordan Walters,

:00:49.:00:49.

He and his girlfriend Emma Horseman were close

:00:50.:00:52.

They were neighbours in this block of flats.

:00:53.:01:01.

On the day he was shot,Harry and Walters' children

:01:02.:01:03.

Walters starting cleaning this gun, that he used for shooting rabbits,

:01:04.:01:09.

in his kitchen whilst Harry played in the living room.

:01:10.:01:11.

When Harry started crying, his mother Amy said she'd heard

:01:12.:01:14.

Emma Horseman say, "Jord, shoot Harry, just to scare him."

:01:15.:01:17.

Emma Horseman said she couldn't remember saying that,

:01:18.:01:22.

and was cleared by a jury of any involvement in his injury.

:01:23.:01:25.

But her partner Walters had pleaded guilty to causing

:01:26.:01:27.

grievous bodily harm, although he'd said he didn't

:01:28.:01:30.

Today he was told he'd serve two years in prison.

:01:31.:01:44.

Jordan Walters was visibly upset during the sentencing. He was told

:01:45.:01:51.

that his actions left Harry Lucky to be alive. His actions were reckless

:01:52.:02:02.

in the extreme. How anyone could point a weapon at a child beggars

:02:03.:02:09.

belief, though did not. Harry still suffers seizures and has lost much

:02:10.:02:13.

of his side. For now, they are grateful to just be together. He is

:02:14.:02:20.

better than we thought he would be. We were told to say goodbye back

:02:21.:02:26.

then. To see him running around spelling, it is just amazing. The

:02:27.:02:30.

bullet remains embedded in little Harry's brain. They will be more

:02:31.:02:35.

testing times on his road to recovery.

:02:36.:02:37.

Police investigating the death of a woman who was hit by a

:02:38.:02:40.

road sweeper in Swindon are looking to speak to a taxi driver

:02:41.:02:43.

It happened outside Arkells Brewery on Beechcroft Road yesterday.

:02:44.:02:47.

It's understood the woman, who was 32, was going to collect her

:02:48.:02:56.

Police say the taxi driver was not involved but could be a key witness.

:02:57.:03:02.

It's emerged that more than 1000 colder people

:03:03.:03:09.

-- older people in Gloucestershire sought help because of

:03:10.:03:11.

It's thought more people are coming forward because of a change

:03:12.:03:15.

in attitudes and because greater support is available.

:03:16.:03:18.

Over a quarter of victims helped by Gloucestershire's Domestic Abuse

:03:19.:03:20.

Support Service are aged over 60 - around 1100 people in total.

:03:21.:03:29.

Age itself brings some issues that will be extra risk

:03:30.:03:31.

Retirement suddenly changes the dynamic of the family.

:03:32.:03:34.

The issue of becoming a carer for someone.

:03:35.:03:38.

Social isolation, these are all things that

:03:39.:03:40.

are factors of later life, and they are contributing

:03:41.:03:42.

A Bristol man has won a landmark legal case today

:03:43.:03:49.

Greg Roynon was a so-called "property guardian".

:03:50.:03:52.

That meant he paid below market rent to live in a disused building -

:03:53.:03:56.

but didn't have the same protection offered to tenants.

:03:57.:03:58.

Nic's a property guardian in this old Bristol care home.

:03:59.:04:10.

He's been battling for his rights to live here for more than a year.

:04:11.:04:16.

Legal advice was that, actually, by the way you've been living

:04:17.:04:19.

and the room you've had, etc, then there is a good argument

:04:20.:04:22.

But the management company Camelot had argued that Nic and others had

:04:23.:04:31.

willingly signed up as guardians to provide security

:04:32.:04:33.

Guardians don't have as much protection as tenants

:04:34.:04:38.

The court today ruled that Nic's fellow resident,

:04:39.:04:49.

We should be entitled to the basic necessities of life, such as,

:04:50.:04:54.

you know, hot water and properly functioning showers, for example.

:04:55.:04:57.

We basically felt so strongly about all that stuff that we felt

:04:58.:05:03.

This hopefully would empower the people, if they feel strongly -

:05:04.:05:09.

we've done it, it's been a long graft, it's been pretty horrible

:05:10.:05:13.

The case has been acrimonious, with allegations of neglected

:05:14.:05:26.

properties and attempts to intimidate residents.

:05:27.:05:27.

All denied by Camelot, but tempers spilled out

:05:28.:05:29.

SHOUTING: There's (BLEEP) no lighting in some

:05:30.:05:32.

Today's ruling could have implications for thousands

:05:33.:05:38.

Listen - there is a massive housing crisis in the city!

:05:39.:05:49.

For Greg, however, he returns home a tenant, with his rights secured.

:05:50.:05:57.

The rock band Foo Fighters tonight announced they're headlining

:05:58.:06:00.

Glastonbury Festival this summer during a

:06:01.:06:02.

Around 500 fans packed into the Cheese and Grain

:06:03.:06:08.

Arts Centre in the town - a massive contrast to the venues

:06:09.:06:11.

They were meant to play Glastonbury in 2015, but had to cancel

:06:12.:06:17.

And that's where it's time for me to wish you a goodnight -

:06:18.:06:23.

the weekend, of course, is just round the corner,

:06:24.:06:26.

so let's find out from Ian what the weathers up to.

:06:27.:06:30.

The winds will once again make a return as a feature of the

:06:31.:06:34.

Both Saturday and Sunday, rather windy days.

:06:35.:06:37.

That said, they will be comparatively mild.

:06:38.:06:40.

There will be some more rain around, particularly

:06:41.:06:43.

And again, by the very tail end of the evening

:06:44.:06:47.

For the rest of tonight, some patchy rain spreading its way

:06:48.:06:52.

Temperatures remaining generally at about five or six Celsius.

:06:53.:06:59.

As we head to Sunday morning, already a

:07:00.:07:02.

rather windy start of the day. A lot of cloud around.

:07:03.:07:05.

Looking largely dry through the morning.

:07:06.:07:08.

Through the afternoon, we will see increasing tendency

:07:09.:07:11.

Some of those moderate to heavy at places.

:07:12.:07:16.

At other times, it will be drizzly, quite extensive.

:07:17.:07:18.

Certainly it looks that way as we head later on in the evening

:07:19.:07:21.

Temperatures tomorrow getting up to 10 Celsius.

:07:22.:07:24.

Heading through to Sunday, similar temperatures.

:07:25.:07:27.

Perhaps the chance of some slightly brighter weather.

:07:28.:07:29.

Here is a look at your national forecast.

:07:30.:07:30.

few days it is that the stay miles. Outbreaks of rain at times

:07:31.:07:32.

particularly as we head into Monday. A much calmer day today after the

:07:33.:07:45.

nasty storm yesterday. Let's look at your pictures, tranquil from

:07:46.:07:49.

Hampshire, on the edge of the new Forest. Nice cumulus clouds from

:07:50.:07:54.

Hartlepool. Still a bit stormy, that sea. We are starting to get more

:07:55.:08:06.

pictures of bass coming through. The 1st of March, the first day of

:08:07.:08:08.

meteorological spring. We like it in three months blocks. This weekend,

:08:09.:08:16.

things are going downhill again. After this day, where we had the
