Good evening. More than a decade after a huge explosion and fire at | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
a waste plant in a Gloucestershire village, people living there are | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
being told it hasn't affected their health. The site in Sandhurst | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
caught fire in October 2000. A toxic cloud of chemicals blew | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
across the local area. Health officials have said today there is | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
no significant evidence of any damage to people's well being. But | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
some locals remain to be convinced. It is the explosion that spread | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
toxic chemicals over Sandhurst and surrounding villages. A decade on | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
4,000 are being monitored for patterns of illness and death. So | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
far there are positive signs. has not then any increase in cancer | :00:57. | :01:05. | |

compare the South West region as a compare the South West region as a | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
whole with Sandhurst. There are still those that are finding it | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
hard to reconcile the official statement with their own personal | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
experiences of the cancer and enormous. -- and sickness. People | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
like Rachael Hyde who has had cancer of the thyroid. Her first | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
husband died last year after suffering from cancer of the | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
esophagus and she believes many others who lived in the village at | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
the time of the explosion are also suffering because of exposure to | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
toxic fumes. The people that have lived actually in Sandhurst, they | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
are people who are having very unusual illnesses. Why? How can it | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
be? The official findings have been independently verified and the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
study will continue for 10 years for some, though the worry is the | :01:57. | :02:07. | |

Works of art in Cheltenham have been vandalised less than 24 hours | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
after they were installed. Life- size horse sculptures were placed | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
around the town. Two of them were damaged over the weekend. They were | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
commissioned as part of the Town's marking of the National Hunt | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
Festival's centenary. These horses are works of art out on public | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
display and we had hoped that that respect would have been shown by | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
the public. I think on the whole it is but it is just a small group of | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
people who have decided to vandalise the horses in such a | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
terrible way. Ten horses have been placed around the town. They are | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
due to be there until October. Bristol's Harbour Festival might | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
not be run again next year. The council estimates more than a | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
quarter of a million people came to the city this weekend. But the cost | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
to the public purse of putting the event on, and a potential clash | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
next year with the Olympics in London, have cast some doubt over | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
its future. And now a sneak preview of | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
something coming up on Points West this week. We are inside the | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
private world of the man behind one of the West's biggest sporting | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
clubs. Here's our sports editor. I have come to southern France to | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
talk to the owner of Bath Rugby Club. Few outside the business had | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
ever heard of him a year ago and it has not really changed as he has | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
kept a low profile. Well this is it. He lives in this spectacular house | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
high in the hills above the city and he talks excuse some League Two | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
as about his love of rugby and his dream of making Bath the top club | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
in Europe. He explains why he loves all things French and rugby in | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
equal measure and why he is investing so much money in the club | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
that he supported as a boy. That is Bruce Gray be talking tomorrow | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
Let's see what happening with the weather. Another mild and muggy | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
night tonight. It will fluffy other -- cloud over and produce some | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
heavy downpours would temperatures no lower than 16 or 17. Tomorrow | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
morning should clear the rain away and then there will be a chance a | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
shower throughout the day but it should be fine and dry with good | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
spells of sunshine and temperatures of about 25 degrees. Warm and humid | :04:39. | :04:43. |
