:00:11. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to BBC Points West. In the headlines tonight:
:00:15. > :00:19.Determined to prevent any more violence. Hundreds of extra police
:00:19. > :00:22.are deployed again after large numbers brought calm last night.
:00:22. > :00:25.He touched the life of everyone he knew, tributes to another royal
:00:25. > :00:28.marine brought home from Afghanistan.
:00:28. > :00:32.And helping those who come home injured, millions of pounds are
:00:32. > :00:34.invested in new facilities in Somerset.
:00:34. > :00:44.Also tonight, lowering in emergency classrooms as demand for places
:00:44. > :00:47.soars across Bristol. And we are here at the Bristol
:00:47. > :00:56.International Balloon Fiesta, but because of the weather, so far
:00:56. > :00:59.Good evening. Calm has been restored to the streets of Bristol
:00:59. > :01:02.and Gloucester following nights of unrest. There were hundreds of
:01:02. > :01:06.extra police officers on duty last night, but no repeat of the
:01:06. > :01:10.previous nights' violence. The courts today continued to deal with
:01:10. > :01:13.those arrested by the police. One of them, a 16-year-old from Bristol,
:01:13. > :01:17.was immediately jailed for a year after pleading guilty to carrying a
:01:17. > :01:24.knife with a five inch blade. Our reporter Scott Ellis spent the
:01:24. > :01:28.night following the police operation.
:01:28. > :01:34.In Gloucester, 200 riot trained police were on standby it for
:01:35. > :01:40.trouble. Enough to ensure peace and quiet returned to a city hit by
:01:40. > :01:44.disorder just 24 hours earlier. think they are prepared tonight. I
:01:45. > :01:49.think yesterday they might not have been. Tonight they were prepared,
:01:49. > :01:53.and it has been very quiet. They have got officers in from Wales and
:01:53. > :01:57.places like that. They are trying to cut it down and people are
:01:57. > :02:01.realising, we can't get away with that. I did see something on
:02:01. > :02:05.Facebook... During the night, Gloucestershire police aimed to
:02:05. > :02:10.stop youths gathering in public. Here, they are searching apart in
:02:10. > :02:14.Stroud that -- after reports youngsters were meeting up. There
:02:14. > :02:18.were evidence that recent economy - - recent troubles have hit the
:02:18. > :02:24.night-time economy like restaurants and bars. Many told us the centre
:02:24. > :02:28.of Gloucester felt deserted. It is quiet tonight, usually it is round
:02:28. > :02:32.but people don't want to come out. It has been a quiet night in
:02:32. > :02:37.Gloucester, so to hear in Bristol. It seems that if the police are out
:02:37. > :02:42.on the street in London, -- In Numbers, the troublemakers will
:02:42. > :02:45.stay at home. But will no doubt fuelled the debate over cuts to the
:02:45. > :02:50.police forces and who pays the overtime bill for all of these
:02:50. > :02:53.patrols. The police say they will maintain a high state of readiness,
:02:53. > :02:58.and in Bristol, they are confident they will keep ahead of the
:02:58. > :03:02.troublemakers. We have developed a good network of community contacts
:03:02. > :03:06.here, and we are grateful to a lot of people here who have given us
:03:06. > :03:10.some good information on things that have been going on, trouble
:03:10. > :03:15.that might be brewing. We have been able to stamp out problems before
:03:15. > :03:22.they start. In both Gloucester and Bristol, officers say arrests of
:03:22. > :03:28.troublemakers will continue. The number of arrests following the
:03:28. > :03:33.violence in Gloucester now stands at 18, ages ranging from 24-15. I
:03:33. > :03:37.am joined from our Gloucester studio by Superintendent Gary
:03:37. > :03:40.Thomson. Are you expecting to make more arrests? Yes, we are currently
:03:40. > :03:49.going through the process of examining all the evidence we have
:03:49. > :03:52.gathered, CCTV and other images, to travel -- carry out a thorough
:03:52. > :03:55.investigation so we can identify as many people as possible involved in
:03:55. > :03:59.the disorder so we can arrest them and put them before the Court.
:03:59. > :04:03.there is trouble tonight, how many officers do you have at your
:04:03. > :04:07.disposal? We have a significant and number of officers patrolling,
:04:07. > :04:11.numbering almost 200. They are out there making sure people feel safe,
:04:11. > :04:15.they can go about their normal business, but also to make sure we
:04:15. > :04:20.have got the right number of resources which -- to deal with any
:04:20. > :04:24.disorder. What are your orders if violence and looting start? How
:04:24. > :04:27.tough can you be? We are doing an intervention policy to try and
:04:27. > :04:31.prevent it happening in the first place, we are looking to get in
:04:31. > :04:35.early to make sure we disperse any groups of youths who looked intent
:04:35. > :04:40.on causing problems. I can make it perfectly clear if there are people
:04:40. > :04:43.out there who are thinking to cause trouble, we are very well equipped
:04:43. > :04:47.to deal with them and we will be very positive in arresting them to
:04:47. > :04:51.preventing them from doing that. have heard that Cheltenham Town's
:04:51. > :04:54.derby against Swindon on Saturday has been called off because you
:04:54. > :04:59.cannot police said. Are you really saying that you don't have enough
:04:59. > :05:03.officers to police a football match and later, the Street's overnight?
:05:03. > :05:07.We are saying we need to concentrate our resources in the
:05:07. > :05:09.right place and at the moment our top priority is making sure people
:05:09. > :05:17.across the county in Gloucestershire, which is a SHAEF
:05:17. > :05:19.place to live, continue to feel safe and they feel safe in their
:05:19. > :05:22.homes and allowed to return to the city.
:05:22. > :05:26.The parents of a Royal Marine killed in Afghanistan have spoken
:05:26. > :05:29.of their pride and loss as his body was flown home to the UK today. 22-
:05:29. > :05:32.year-old James Wright from Dorset died after a grenade attack on a
:05:32. > :05:35.check point in Helmand Province. Hundreds lined the streets of
:05:35. > :05:45.Wootton Bassett this afternoon for what could be one of the last
:05:45. > :05:49.
:05:49. > :05:54.repatriation ceremonies in the town. As the bell of St Bartholomew's and
:05:54. > :06:03.All Saints told, the town of Wootton Bassett fell silent once
:06:03. > :06:08.Another British servicemen killed in Afghanistan returned home for
:06:08. > :06:14.the final time. 22 year-old marine James Wright from Weymouth was
:06:14. > :06:19.serving with Royal Marines when he was wounded in a grenade attack on
:06:19. > :06:25.a checkpoint in a district of Helmand province on Friday. His
:06:25. > :06:29.family say he died doing the job he loved. There was nothing else.
:06:29. > :06:34.was his proudest moment, he was so proud of the green beret. We were
:06:34. > :06:37.proud of him. And we now know that unfortunately, having to go to
:06:37. > :06:43.Afghanistan was the way he could prove and do the proper soldiering
:06:43. > :06:47.which is what he wanted to do. can't describe how proud I am.
:06:47. > :06:53.Tragically, James also it leaves a long-term girlfriend, pregnant with
:06:54. > :07:00.their first child. I am just gutted that he is not here. Am not gutted
:07:00. > :07:02.-- I am more gutted for him than I am for me because he was so excited.
:07:03. > :07:08.This small world to town has seen far too many of these repatriations,
:07:08. > :07:11.but this will be one of the last here. Next month, the flights will
:07:11. > :07:16.transfer to RAF Brize Norton and Wootton Bassett will no longer be
:07:17. > :07:19.on the road. Taunton-based 40 Commando lost 14
:07:19. > :07:22.marines in their deployment to Afghanistan last year but they're
:07:22. > :07:28.also having to cope with a huge rise in the number of injured
:07:28. > :07:31.personnel returning to base at Norton Manor Camp. They're now
:07:31. > :07:41.investing nearly �6 million in purpose built training and
:07:41. > :07:42.
:07:43. > :07:50.rehabilitation facilities. Clinton Rogers reports.
:07:50. > :07:54.The wounds of war are he now for Luke Metcalfe. Injured in an
:07:54. > :07:58.explosion in Afghanistan he went under many months of painful
:07:58. > :08:02.surgery and rehabilitation. To begin with, he had to learn to walk
:08:03. > :08:06.all over again. For walking around the bed, then walking bed to bed,
:08:06. > :08:12.then slowly walking up the corridor at night like a little old lady in
:08:12. > :08:16.my dressing-gown. As he started to regain his fitness, this Royal
:08:16. > :08:24.Marine continued his recovery at the home of 40 Commando in Taunton.
:08:24. > :08:27.And when he is on his own, this gym is plenty big enough. The problem
:08:27. > :08:33.is, the conflict in Afghanistan has stretched the medics and the
:08:33. > :08:40.fitness trainers as much as the frontline troops. 40 Commando it
:08:40. > :08:45.lost 14 men on their last tour. But many more came back injured, and in
:08:45. > :08:52.need of intensive support on the long road back to fitness. We are
:08:52. > :08:57.up to about 30 strong in the trip at the minute. But that can go up
:08:57. > :09:04.once the units is a way, I have known it up to 50 on that recent
:09:04. > :09:08.talk that they went to. One of the reasons why 40 Commando is being
:09:08. > :09:13.given a new gym and rehabilitation centre at a cost of nearly �6
:09:13. > :09:16.million. Work is already well under way. They reckon this place should
:09:16. > :09:20.be completed by the middle of next year, and when it is, at the
:09:20. > :09:28.rehabilitation unit alone will be four times bigger than the existing
:09:28. > :09:32.one, reflecting not only today's need but the need they will need to
:09:32. > :09:35.satisfy four years to come. When the new centre is finished, Luke
:09:35. > :09:39.Metcalfe is in the running to work there. He has recovered from his
:09:39. > :09:42.injuries are so well, he is now working to become a physical
:09:42. > :09:45.training instructor. You're watching BBC Points West
:09:45. > :09:50.this Thursday evening and there's still lots to bring you on
:09:50. > :09:57.tonight's programme including: Come with us as we delve into this
:09:57. > :10:00.ancient Gloucestershire burial site. And we're live at Ashton Court
:10:00. > :10:10.where some people are determined to see the balloon glow, whatever the
:10:10. > :10:12.Shrien Dewani, the man accused of plotting his new wife's murder in
:10:12. > :10:18.South Africa has returned to a mental health clinic in Bristol,
:10:18. > :10:21.following an appearance at a London court yesterday. There, a judge
:10:21. > :10:24.ruled that Mr Dewani could be extradited if agreed by the home
:10:24. > :10:29.secretary, to face charges in South Africa of kidnapping and murdering
:10:29. > :10:34.his bride Anni. He has always protested his innocence, and the
:10:34. > :10:37.intervening nine months have taken their toll on his health. Doctors
:10:37. > :10:43.say he is suffering from a mixture of post traumatic stress disorder
:10:43. > :10:50.and depression. Any eventual extradition could take months. Ian
:10:50. > :10:56.Kelsey is a Bristol based criminal lawyer with extradition experience.
:10:56. > :11:01.What happens next in this case? What happens next is, his lawyers
:11:01. > :11:04.now have four weeks in which to make written representations to the
:11:04. > :11:08.Secretary of State, the Home Secretary in this case. She has to
:11:08. > :11:14.consider whether or not he could or should be extradited. It is likely
:11:14. > :11:18.that he will be extradited, the district judge having made that
:11:18. > :11:21.decision. The Secretary of State can refuse extradition in very
:11:21. > :11:25.minuted X -- circumstances, which could include if he was likely to
:11:25. > :11:29.receive the death penalty. Is it always the case that the Home
:11:29. > :11:34.Secretary makes this decision? but then he has a right of appeal
:11:34. > :11:38.to the High Court. That appeal has to be lodged within 14 days of the
:11:38. > :11:45.Home Secretary making her decision. And thereafter, the High Court
:11:45. > :11:51.should hear the appeal within a period of some 26 days after that
:11:51. > :11:56.appeal is lodged. How much does Mr divinely's health impact on what
:11:56. > :12:00.happens now? It had an impact, because clearly the district judge
:12:00. > :12:04.has indicated that he had hoped he would not be inched delighted until
:12:04. > :12:07.his mental health improved. -- extradited until his mental health
:12:07. > :12:11.improved. He indicated that if he was to go back at the moment he
:12:11. > :12:15.would not be fit to stand trial. I think there will be some
:12:15. > :12:18.consideration given to that by the Secretary of State although it is
:12:18. > :12:21.not a factor she can really take into account. I would imagine also
:12:21. > :12:29.that the British authorities in South African authorities would try
:12:29. > :12:34.to come to some agreement as to when he will be extradited.
:12:34. > :12:39.One of Bristol's most iconic events got underway today. The
:12:39. > :12:42.International Balloon Fiesta is now in its 33rd year. Last year it was
:12:42. > :12:46.dogged by bad weather, there were only two mass ascents in four days,
:12:46. > :12:56.so this year the organisers will be hoping for better luck. Alice
:12:56. > :13:00.Bouverie is there. Alice, have any balloons gone up yet?
:13:00. > :13:04.I'm afraid not. They had been hoping to have a radio of the
:13:04. > :13:08.special shapes and launching some of them tonight, but because of the
:13:08. > :13:12.Rover they have not managed it. They have got some tethered in the
:13:12. > :13:16.arena. They have got the square- shaped, they did have the battery
:13:16. > :13:20.but that has gone down. The only people who are flying are days a
:13:20. > :13:26.little guys, we have got bigger and Wallace and Gromit in these
:13:26. > :13:33.miniature balloons! Unfortunately, it has been the Webber, so
:13:33. > :13:39.changeable and unpredictable. We have had rain, wind, and the wind
:13:39. > :13:46.has been just as bad as the rain. It has been at Glastonbury spirit,
:13:46. > :13:50.people with wellies and rains, -- umbrella, but also trying to be
:13:50. > :13:55.summary and have a sneaky ice-cream. You have been involved in this
:13:55. > :14:00.fiesta for the last 33 years, it is the opening day, how are you
:14:00. > :14:04.feeling, excited or dismayed? Excited, but we are looking at the
:14:04. > :14:09.weather and tis not ideal. It should be good enough, the Night
:14:09. > :14:16.glow will run tonight. We just hope we get some better spots -- better
:14:16. > :14:21.spot over the weekend. What other prospect? It is mixed, but I hope
:14:21. > :14:26.we will get some spots. What was the balloon fiesta like 33 years
:14:26. > :14:32.ago? It was very small, not many people knew about it. None of the
:14:32. > :14:36.stands and things of that kind. But it has gradually grown over the
:14:36. > :14:41.years and almost become like the Bristol City show. His company is
:14:41. > :14:49.actually celebrating its 40th year this year, and to celebrate it,
:14:49. > :14:52.they are building an entire balloon from scratch.
:14:52. > :14:56.When they said they were going to manufacture blooms here in three
:14:56. > :14:59.days, I did not know what are making it. Look at that, sewing
:14:59. > :15:03.machines in action. Everywhere the other side of these barriers has
:15:03. > :15:11.been certified by the Civil Aviation Authority for the
:15:11. > :15:14.manufacturer of aircraft. Double Needle, a French seem, as Tina is
:15:14. > :15:19.expertly demonstrating. I have been investigating why Bristol is so
:15:19. > :15:24.good at making balloons. You might have seen my report on the high-
:15:24. > :15:28.tech side of the industry, but as you can see, quite a lot of it is
:15:28. > :15:38.hand-made. Tonight, I had been out to meet a West Country success
:15:38. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:48.story which is how it -- thoroughly There are places in the West
:15:48. > :15:52.Country where time seems to stand still. Admitted, that's why we love
:15:52. > :15:58.it here. And images like these are also part of our international
:15:58. > :16:02.brand. I guess my things in both our businesses are basically hand
:16:02. > :16:08.made. Les Greaves is passionate about the cross and ships on his
:16:08. > :16:13.balloon. You might wonder why balloon baskets are made of old
:16:13. > :16:16.fashioned materials like willow and leather. They have tried carbon
:16:16. > :16:20.fibre and aluminium basket, but they cannot compete with old
:16:20. > :16:24.fashioned wickerwork. When we land a heavy balloon, there will be an
:16:24. > :16:30.impact. This just goes back to shape, unlike modern materials
:16:30. > :16:36.which crack or shatter or head the person inside. Leather is Ian's
:16:36. > :16:43.love, at a factory at the road he and hundreds of others turn it into
:16:43. > :16:48.Mulberry handbag. In the Mulberry Shop, right next to the field they
:16:48. > :16:51.will be flying from, Les is learning how to make her hand back.
:16:51. > :16:55.Mulberry are a huge international success story. They opened a shop
:16:55. > :17:00.in China this year but still employed 200 people in Chilcompton.
:17:00. > :17:04.It is 40 different parts cut from that one skin of leather. Lawrence
:17:04. > :17:08.is one of the new breed of leather workers trained as a mulberry
:17:08. > :17:13.apprentice. That is basically what the product is. All of these parts,
:17:13. > :17:20.we put them together. That is presumably mainly by hand? Yes, it
:17:20. > :17:26.is all hand-stitched. The company has made these bags and must. They
:17:26. > :17:33.have graced the arms of supermodels and this year profits quadrupled to
:17:33. > :17:39.23 -- �23 million. The share price rose an astonishing 526 %. This
:17:39. > :17:45.label, hand-made in Somerset, is a key part of that. The craft that we
:17:45. > :17:50.can use, from an international part of you, people love English brands
:17:50. > :17:56.soap that helps our business. They are buying an English brand which
:17:56. > :18:01.still manufactures in England. Les is impressed and naturally
:18:01. > :18:09.wants to show what his West Country craftsmanship is capable of. It is
:18:09. > :18:13.hand-made, but it holds well. hope so! So a playgoer, half
:18:13. > :18:23.Somerset craftsmanship, half a high-tech engineering. -- so there
:18:23. > :18:31.
:18:31. > :18:34.That balloon will be one of the many which will be trying to take
:18:34. > :18:39.part in one of the mass as sense which will be trying to take place
:18:39. > :18:43.over the next few days. They will not be taking a decision on whether
:18:43. > :18:48.these will take place until half an hour beforehand. They are saying
:18:48. > :18:54.they can guarantee that might blow tonight at 9:30pm, with Radio
:18:54. > :18:57.Bristol's Richard, he will be entertaining the crowds -- the
:18:57. > :19:04.Night glow. If you cannot make it down here, and you have got eight
:19:04. > :19:10.smart flown, you can download for - - a smart phone, you can download
:19:10. > :19:14.an application and you can add the balloon's yourself!
:19:14. > :19:17.We will have the weather forecasts over the next few days a little
:19:17. > :19:20.later. One of Bristol's most famous
:19:20. > :19:23.buildings should re-open next week. Cabot tower has been closed for the
:19:23. > :19:26.past four years after cracks appeared on it. It was originally
:19:26. > :19:29.only due to be closed for a few months. The grade two listed
:19:29. > :19:32.building should now open next Tuesday afternoon.
:19:32. > :19:36.It may be the summer holidays, but any parent with small children will
:19:36. > :19:39.already be thinking about applying for primary school places next year.
:19:39. > :19:45.It's doubly hard in Bristol where competition for places is intense
:19:45. > :19:49.due to an unprecedented rise in the city's population. Every child has
:19:49. > :19:58.a place this September, but not all parents are satisfied. Dickon
:19:58. > :20:03.Hooper reports. Craning in a new classrooms. 19
:20:03. > :20:06.across the city will provide hundreds of new primary school
:20:06. > :20:09.places this September. The classrooms are being put in here
:20:09. > :20:13.today are part of a solution to a growing problem here in Bristol.
:20:13. > :20:18.That is that there simply are not enough primary school places to go
:20:18. > :20:22.around. It is a problem that is going to get worse. The council
:20:22. > :20:28.says that if all the houses planned for the city are built, over the
:20:28. > :20:33.next few years, it will need to find 5000 extra places. So what is
:20:33. > :20:38.being done in the corridors of power? There are no immediate
:20:38. > :20:43.silver bullet solutions. In some cases, it will be expanding schools.
:20:43. > :20:49.In other cases it will going to have to be purchasing buildings,
:20:49. > :20:53.sites. Bristol is not alone but it is the sheer scale which is
:20:53. > :20:57.different. In south Gloucestershire, they need just over 500 extra
:20:57. > :21:02.places in the next two years. In Bath and North-East Somerset that
:21:02. > :21:06.figure is 100. Almost half their schools are oversubscribed. And in
