:00:11. > :00:18.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. The headlines tonight.
:00:18. > :00:21.The murder which has shocked a quiet Somerset village. Police wait
:00:21. > :00:29.to question a badly injured man, arrested on suspicion of killing
:00:29. > :00:35.his partner. You cannot imagine... It's just a shock. Incomprehensible.
:00:35. > :00:39.Also tonight. The driver of a car recalls the night three teenagers
:00:39. > :00:46.died after they crashed into a tree. Back to its former glory. The multi
:00:46. > :00:50.million pound plans to transform the centre of Gloucester. And music
:00:50. > :00:57.for the future. The latest music from the West would take our
:00:57. > :01:00.economy forward. A good evening. The palm of a woman
:01:00. > :01:05.found dead in the North Somerset village of Kewstoke has been
:01:05. > :01:08.arrested on suspicion of murder. He is seriously injured and been
:01:08. > :01:12.treated at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol. A second man has been
:01:12. > :01:16.released without charge. Close family friend described the
:01:16. > :01:20.tragedy as incomprehensible. Detectives are trying to piece
:01:20. > :01:25.together what happened. The police cordons at Kewstoke
:01:25. > :01:29.remained in place today. No one could get close to the house at the
:01:29. > :01:33.centre of the inquiry. Even floral tributes had to be laid at the
:01:33. > :01:38.scene by security guards. In the building where the woman's body was
:01:38. > :01:43.found, forensic teams were doing their work. Today, the victim was
:01:43. > :01:53.named locally as Julie Tottle. Her family ran the local shop. This
:01:53. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :02:00.woman works there, and is a close friend. It's just a shock. It's
:02:00. > :02:04.incomprehensible. A has there been any ill-feeling in the family?
:02:04. > :02:09.not a time know of. I would like to find out why it happened. We will
:02:09. > :02:14.not know that until it is resolved. Police say they are not now looking
:02:14. > :02:19.for anyone else in connection with Julie Tottle's death. They were
:02:19. > :02:25.refusing to give any more details about how she died today. They had
:02:25. > :02:29.arrested her partner, Stephen Hotson, who is himself seriously
:02:29. > :02:33.injured in Bristol's Frenchay Hospital. Forensic teams are likely
:02:33. > :02:37.to be here for the next two days gathering evidence, but police say
:02:37. > :02:41.they need help from the public to piece together what happened here
:02:41. > :02:45.in the minutes before a tragedy that left one woman dead and her
:02:45. > :02:49.partner seriously injured in hospital. I understand he received
:02:49. > :02:54.his injuries falling from one of those windows behind me. Was it an
:02:54. > :02:58.accident? Did he jump? The police said they need to hear from people
:02:58. > :03:03.who may have seen anything suspicious, all head anything
:03:03. > :03:07.suspicious yesterday morning. In this small community, it is a
:03:07. > :03:12.macabre mystery they all want answers to. It's horrible. Awful
:03:12. > :03:17.day yesterday. I knew both of them, Steve as well. They were really
:03:17. > :03:22.nice. It was a shock. Tonight, the police said they hoped to be able
:03:22. > :03:29.to release details of a post-mortem examination on Julie Tottle some
:03:29. > :03:33.time tomorrow. And in questors heard from the
:03:33. > :03:36.driver of a car which crashed into a tree on New Year's Eve killing
:03:36. > :03:40.his brother and two other teenagers from Chippenham.
:03:40. > :03:42.Jack Forester said he lost control of his car in the early hours of
:03:42. > :03:50.the morning after an animal ran onto the road.
:03:50. > :03:54.There were tears before, during and after today's inquest for three
:03:54. > :03:58.Wilshere family is still mourning the loss of their teenage sons.
:03:58. > :04:03.Frankie Bowyer, George Forester, Jamie Walker, killed after a car
:04:03. > :04:08.crash in the early hours of New year's Eve on a country road just
:04:08. > :04:13.outside Rowde near Devizes. George's brother Jack was at the
:04:13. > :04:18.wheel. Jack Forester told the inquest that as they approach this
:04:18. > :04:23.bend, his brother George, sat next to him, saw an animal in the road
:04:23. > :04:26.and shouted out, Sir Jack aid to the right and lost control of the
:04:26. > :04:31.vehicle. His brother pulled the wheel to the left and they veered
:04:31. > :04:37.off to the left. The car was out of control. Jack said he went for the
:04:37. > :04:41.break but hit the accelerator. The mother of one victim questioned
:04:42. > :04:47.Jack Forester about the speed he was driving. How had he travel 22
:04:47. > :04:52.miles from Chippenham that night in an estimated 25 minutes or less?
:04:52. > :04:57.The driver and the police and the coroner all dismissed any claims of
:04:57. > :05:03.excessive speed. It was simply a tragic accident, caused as an
:05:03. > :05:08.animal ran onto the road. Animals that foxes, badgers and beer are
:05:08. > :05:16.more active on a night. Advice to drivers is to drive a bit more
:05:16. > :05:20.slowly, be able to stop at a safe distance, and to expect the
:05:20. > :05:27.unexpected in terms of wild animals. There have been other accidents
:05:27. > :05:30.here, including a car hitting the same tree in 2009. The coroner will
:05:30. > :05:39.ask the Highways Agency to improve safety and reduce the speed limit
:05:39. > :05:42.to 50 miles an hour. The you are watching BBC Points
:05:42. > :05:47.West. Star A with those. There is much
:05:47. > :05:51.more up to bring you, including celebrations as work begins on a
:05:51. > :06:00.long awaited centre which will help MS sufferers.
:06:00. > :06:03.And find out how you come by limited art prints.
:06:03. > :06:06.After years of debate, the multi- million pound redevelopment of
:06:07. > :06:10.Gloucester city centre should get the go ahead tonight. King's Square
:06:10. > :06:14.was once a focal point of the city, but has recently fallen into
:06:14. > :06:21.decline. This evening, there should be some good use. Steve Knibbs is
:06:21. > :06:25.there for us. Tonight, the city council is
:06:25. > :06:29.appointing a development partner to finally do something with this,
:06:29. > :06:34.Kings Square. When I was a kid, I used to come here and we would play
:06:34. > :06:44.in the phantoms. It was a vibrant place. We would go to the cinema
:06:44. > :06:46.
:06:46. > :06:50.here. Now, the cinema is a pop. The company have a good pedigree.
:06:50. > :06:53.People believe the rejuvenation of this place is the final piece in
:06:53. > :06:58.the regeneration jigsaw. King's Square was once a focal
:06:58. > :07:02.point of the city. Bustling, vibrant, a place to relax. The
:07:02. > :07:06.famous fountains a draw for the public and tourists alike. But
:07:06. > :07:11.vandalism and neglect meant the phantoms eventually turns dry, and
:07:11. > :07:16.the whole area was eventually completed over. Today, it is fair
:07:16. > :07:23.to describe Kings Square as... Well, you do not need to ask me. Really
:07:23. > :07:27.ugly, boring. Terrible. They ran out grand plans for this part of
:07:27. > :07:33.the city. Buildings will be taken down, like that monstrosity. There
:07:33. > :07:42.will be lots of new retail space, bars, restaurants, maybe even a new
:07:42. > :07:46.cinema. Over there, a brand new bus station for long-suffering
:07:46. > :07:49.passengers. The developer has been appointed tonight were behind the
:07:49. > :07:55.Princesshay development in Exeter, and it closely resembles the vision
:07:55. > :08:02.they have for Gloucester. transforming his area, I think we
:08:02. > :08:06.can push Gloucester up the Retail rankings. It will have a knock-on
:08:06. > :08:10.effect for visitors and jobs. course, we have been here before.
:08:10. > :08:13.Plans to transform his unloved patch of land have been unveiled in
:08:13. > :08:23.the past, but there is a feeling that this time, something is
:08:23. > :08:23.
:08:23. > :08:28.happening. It's original. This is a completely different approach. By
:08:28. > :08:33.think it has a stronger element to it. At this stage, it is all
:08:33. > :08:38.aspirational. There's a long way to go. Planning, consultation, finding
:08:38. > :08:46.the money, but all with a hope that work will start to transform this
:08:46. > :08:51.concrete wasteland from King square People cannot wait, but it will
:08:51. > :08:55.cost a lot of money, at least �50 million. The council has put aside
:08:55. > :08:59.a small amount of that. People I have been speaking tiering
:08:59. > :09:03.Gloucester say it is money well spent. If you are a visitor to the
:09:03. > :09:09.city, this is the first impression you get of historic Gloucester.
:09:09. > :09:14.will keep our fingers crossed. Work has begun on a new centre to
:09:14. > :09:20.give vital treatments to people with multiple sclerosis. At charity
:09:20. > :09:23.hopes the purpose-built centre will provide physical therapy as well as
:09:23. > :09:27.casting. In around six months, this building
:09:27. > :09:36.site in Bradley Stoke will be transformed into a bespoke centre
:09:36. > :09:39.to treat people with MS. Here today to toast the new-build is the
:09:39. > :09:45.former cricket and rugby star Alastair Hignell, who has had the
:09:45. > :09:49.condition now for more than 10 years. Places like a therapy centre,
:09:49. > :09:56.they provide you with the regulatory it meant that give you
:09:56. > :10:00.that extra bit of energy. They give you that bit of motivation to get
:10:00. > :10:05.through the week. You can continue to work and be a good member of
:10:05. > :10:11.your family and society. It is vital. Until I find a cure, which
:10:11. > :10:19.we pray will be soon, you need these sort of ongoing treatment.
:10:19. > :10:26.The therapy centres provide them perfectly. Debbie Sutor was
:10:26. > :10:32.diagnosed around a decade ago. She uses this centre at Mel C, and says
:10:32. > :10:41.accepting the disease can be tough. It is difficult. -- she uses his
:10:41. > :10:45.centre at Nailsea. It is difficult. You meet people that are the same
:10:46. > :10:52.as you. To chat with them and have a cup of tea, that is what made it
:10:52. > :10:58.inviting. There was no need to worry. I was just being anxious.
:10:58. > :11:02.Stepping through the door, at that moment, it was fine. She will step,
:11:02. > :11:07.all lead, through another door soon, as she does a tandem skydive to
:11:07. > :11:12.raise money for the centre. Once it looks like this, visitors will
:11:12. > :11:16.receive physical therapy, oxygen treatments into hyperbaric chambers,
:11:16. > :11:20.and counselling support. It's costing more than one per �3
:11:20. > :11:27.million, but for people who live with M&S, the treatment centres are
:11:27. > :11:31.priceless. With an ageing population, another
:11:31. > :11:34.disease on the increase is dementia. It seems that when it comes to care,
:11:34. > :11:38.their refuge variations are a number of people being diagnosed
:11:38. > :11:43.with dementia across the West. According to figures from the
:11:43. > :11:45.Alzheimer's Society in Dorset, an estimated three out of four
:11:45. > :11:50.patients are missing out on treatment because they have not
:11:50. > :11:54.been assessed. Tonight, in the second part of his series, Matthew
:11:54. > :11:58.Hill has been speaking to one woman who had to fight tooth and at what
:11:59. > :12:04.was wrong. A I used to get frustrated because
:12:04. > :12:09.I have always done jumpers. All was sudden, I could not do it. For Mike
:12:09. > :12:15.and Marion, getting a diagnosis has been an uphill battle which has
:12:15. > :12:21.taken over two years. The doctor said, she is just getting old, you
:12:21. > :12:28.forget things now and again. I found out I would be going down the
:12:28. > :12:34.hall and thinking, where am I going? Where was I going? Although
:12:34. > :12:38.there's no cure, it is unbelievable, because now we know what Marion has
:12:38. > :12:42.got. Marion is lucky to know what is wrong with her. In Wiltshire,
:12:42. > :12:47.two out of three people with dementia and not like that. Also it
:12:48. > :12:52.has the worst figures, with three at a four people never knowing they
:12:52. > :12:56.have the on us. This charity in will share that tells Marion and
:12:56. > :13:00.Mike believe that the problem will get worse. People travel from all
:13:00. > :13:04.over the country to get a diagnosis and treatment at this clinic. The
:13:04. > :13:08.money for the service looks likely to disappear. The only time people
:13:08. > :13:12.can go there now is if they are desperate and they are willing to
:13:12. > :13:16.pay for it themselves. It is a wonderful service. You ring up, get
:13:16. > :13:21.a quick appointment, you will be seen by a specialist and you'll
:13:21. > :13:26.have lots of tests, and they will signpost you how to get help.
:13:26. > :13:30.the figure so bad in Wiltshire and Dorset? Some say it is because GPs
:13:30. > :13:34.are not confident patients will receive appropriate support if they
:13:34. > :13:38.are referred. Others say patients should not be ignored. GPs have
:13:38. > :13:42.always been difficult to convince a thing can be done about dementia. I
:13:43. > :13:47.think now that the dementia strategy has pushed the fact that
:13:47. > :13:52.there is, they are more encouraged to refer. As people live longer, it
:13:52. > :13:56.is expected there will be more and more patients like Mrs Hawkins, and
:13:56. > :14:04.diagnosing their dementia and offering them the care they need is
:14:04. > :14:07.going to become an increasingly They make our mobile phones work,
:14:08. > :14:10.there's a good chance you wouldn't be watching us without them. But
:14:11. > :14:13.Bristol's hi tech inventors don't often make a song and dance about
:14:14. > :14:16.their breakthroughs. Until tonight. The University of Bristol's
:14:16. > :14:20.innovation centre is throwing a party where inventors can meet
:14:20. > :14:25.investors. Our business correspondent Dave Harvey has a
:14:25. > :14:35.ticket. It's a rather historic venue for such a modern crowd?
:14:35. > :14:38.Yes, I'm at Goldney Hall for this garden party. A couple of hundred
:14:38. > :14:44.people are here at what is the heart of what they call Silicon
:14:44. > :14:54.Gorge. There are more computer companies and digital designers
:14:54. > :14:56.
:14:56. > :15:02.here than anywhere east of California. That's actually true!
:15:02. > :15:05.As well as the inventors, guys here are hoping to be the next Google.
:15:05. > :15:08.There are big guns from out of town, from IBM, Microsoft and Logica.
:15:08. > :15:11.After we come off air, they run a kind of digital Dragons Den here.
:15:11. > :15:21.All looking for that wonder-product. Imagine if you could put uber cool
:15:21. > :15:22.
:15:22. > :15:28.music into a football. Well, imagine no longer: you can see what
:15:28. > :15:35.applications you could put together. The wall of sound is played by the
:15:35. > :15:44.men who made it. There are 48 black parts. Each one controls another
:15:44. > :15:53.layer of sound. We have bamboo string. By pressing my finger down,
:15:53. > :15:58.it can warp the sound. It sounds a little bit like a whale. What are
:15:58. > :16:07.the big ones do? This has a dream sequence on it. By applying
:16:08. > :16:17.pressure, we can effect the way the sequence is put together. It starts
:16:18. > :16:18.
:16:18. > :16:26.off and then you can bring in the kit drums. You have on, off and
:16:26. > :16:35.pressure. You can sculpt the sound. It may be a hit with musicians or
:16:35. > :16:45.not. Already, business types and are keen. Often, the real profits
:16:45. > :16:50.are made in the way that used silicon chips. The components are
:16:50. > :16:57.used inside these product. If this cells, Adam and his investors will
:16:57. > :17:00.make the money. It could be a high- tech flop as well. But nobody said
:17:00. > :17:08.cutting edge in the musical business would be a comfortable
:17:08. > :17:12.place to live. They are people here tonight from the big companies. The
:17:12. > :17:19.question everyone wants to know is where his Bristol on the digital
:17:19. > :17:28.map of Britain? Outside London, it is probably one of the top four or
:17:28. > :17:34.five areas of technology start-ups and innovation. There are different
:17:34. > :17:39.networks here. Is that what matters could work that is typical. There
:17:40. > :17:45.is he would benefit in having top- class universities. You also need
:17:45. > :17:51.linked to business and people who are into design and art and that is
:17:51. > :17:58.becoming increasingly important to this multi-disciplinary world.
:17:58. > :18:04.saw the innovation of music, electronics and computer technology.
:18:04. > :18:11.It spans a huge range of more traditional enterprise type
:18:11. > :18:18.solutions to things that or creating new experiences. There you
:18:18. > :18:28.go. That is what Microsoft are looking for. I wonder if anybody
:18:28. > :18:29.
:18:29. > :18:36.out there thinks that musical Orb will be the future of music. If you
:18:36. > :18:39.have been watching as successfully, a little bit of Bristol while less
:18:39. > :18:42.technology has been working properly. And
:18:42. > :18:45.In cricket, Somerset bowler Arul Suppiah has put himself into the
:18:45. > :18:49.world record books with the best bowling figures ever recorded in a
:18:49. > :18:52.Twenty20 match. He took six wickets for just five runs in only 22 balls
:18:52. > :19:02.against Glamorgan last night to set up a Somerset win. The 27-year-old
:19:02. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:12.joined Somerset in 2000 after going to Millfield School. It is a very
:19:12. > :19:16.
:19:16. > :19:23.proud moment for me. It has not sunk in yet. Doing the halfway
:19:23. > :19:27.stage might possibly be a world records. I did not think it could
:19:27. > :19:31.be right but then it was confirmed at the end of the game.
:19:31. > :19:33.And Arul says he's going to get the ball framed as a memento of his
:19:33. > :19:40.record-breaking achievement. Well no game for Somerset tonight, but
:19:40. > :19:43.here's the latest from One of Bath's most famous residents
:19:43. > :19:47.is helping to promote a special auction in the city tonight. Monty
:19:47. > :19:51.Python legend John Cleese is a keen buyer of art and supporter of local
:19:51. > :20:01.charities. So when he was asked to combine both passions he was more
:20:01. > :20:09.
:20:09. > :20:16.than happy to oblige. There is a real mixture of artists. It is all
:20:16. > :20:26.to raise money for charity. One of which is part at the heart which is
:20:26. > :20:40.
:20:40. > :20:43.transforming the Royal United Hospital. A stint in hospital isn't
:20:43. > :20:46.always much fun, but when you've a real live artist working with you,
:20:46. > :20:48.it really helps. Today, 11-year-old Megan and nine-year-old Stephen are
:20:48. > :20:57.working on a big collage with artist in residence, Edwina
:20:57. > :21:01.Bridgeman. It takes your mind off the procedures. Edwina's sculpture
:21:01. > :21:04.is one of the first things you see when you arrive at the entrance to
:21:04. > :21:08.the RUH. And the more you look the more you realise that there is art
:21:08. > :21:11.everywhere. The work in hospital is funded by the charity Art at the
:21:11. > :21:15.Heart and is just one of the many ways that patients are helped to
:21:15. > :21:18.forget their pains and get well. It can also be a bit of light relief
:21:18. > :21:21.for staff and for the 2,000 visitors that come into the RUH
:21:21. > :21:24.every day. The miles of corridors are perfect as giant gallery walls.
:21:24. > :21:31.At any one time there about 200 pictures on display with
:21:31. > :21:36.exhibitions changing every ten weeks. It has changed the hospital
:21:36. > :21:38.environment. It has changed the aspects. There are over 60
:21:38. > :21:41.courtyards and spaces overlooked by hospital buildings and month by
:21:41. > :21:45.month each is being filled with an artistic surprise. 11-year-old Max
:21:45. > :21:48.has got a few more weeks to go before he's allowed to go home but
:21:48. > :21:58.Art at the Heart means there's a strong chance he won't be getting
:21:58. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:03.bored while he waits. It is not just art, they also put in Music
:22:03. > :22:08.Projects and plays as well. One of the people supporting this is John
:22:08. > :22:14.Cleese. Thank you for joining us. Why are you so keen to support this
:22:14. > :22:19.tonight? I really do love art. It is great to come to Bath and
:22:19. > :22:24.discover they are so many good galleries. We have already bought
:22:24. > :22:30.from four or five galleries since we have been here. It is marvellous.
:22:30. > :22:34.It all adds to the cultural atmosphere. You have been in the
:22:34. > :22:40.hospital and probably notice the artwork on the walls. I was
:22:40. > :22:43.impressed. Some of it was almost professional. They are having
