:00:10. > :00:14.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. The headlines tonight.
:00:14. > :00:17.A motorcyclist lying injured in the road is run over by an ambulance.
:00:17. > :00:20.Police are investigating but say they don't know if Michael Colley
:00:20. > :00:25.was already dead. Latest figures show unemployment
:00:25. > :00:27.has risen in the West for the first time this year.
:00:27. > :00:33.Also tonight, the multi-million pound youth centre that'll help
:00:33. > :00:40.kids avoid crime. We are trying to get a point across that the youth
:00:40. > :00:43.of today are not that bad. They are just normal children.
:00:43. > :00:53.And we visit the pub restored by people power, and see what you can
:00:53. > :00:54.
:00:54. > :00:56.do with hard work and half a First tonight, an investigation's
:00:56. > :01:02.been launched after an emergency ambulance ran over a motorcyclist
:01:02. > :01:05.who was lying injured in a road in Wiltshire. 33-year-old Michael
:01:05. > :01:10.Colley had fallen off his bike on the A4 near Calne when he was
:01:10. > :01:17.struck. Police aren't sure if he was alive or dead prior to being
:01:17. > :01:23.run over. Scott Ellis is there for us now.
:01:23. > :01:27.What exactly happened? You can see the flowers behind me here are
:01:27. > :01:33.marking the scene of the accident, it was in the early hours of Sunday
:01:33. > :01:37.morning when 33 year-old malt core Colley was thrown from his
:01:37. > :01:43.motorcycle -- Michael Colley and his body was left lying in the road
:01:43. > :01:50.here. Completely separately, an ambulance was taking a patient to
:01:50. > :01:55.Bath, travelling not at speed and not with their silence on, and with
:01:55. > :01:59.their lights on. There was also a motorist in the road he was Wayne -
:01:59. > :02:03.- waving and trying to warn the ambulance about the body but it was
:02:03. > :02:10.too late, and the ambulance strike the body of Michael Colley.
:02:10. > :02:12.Emergency doctors attended the scene and pronounced his body dead.
:02:12. > :02:16.The person in the back of the ambulance was also treated by
:02:16. > :02:20.doctors but allowed to go home. Central to this was whether Michael
:02:20. > :02:27.Colley was allowed to -- was alive or dead when the ambulance struck
:02:27. > :02:33.him, so whether the vehicle impacted on his death. What has
:02:33. > :02:38.been the impact of his family? is a tragedy, the family are to
:02:38. > :02:48.expect -- upset to talk to us directly. They have released a
:02:48. > :02:52.
:02:52. > :02:56.For they say he was a single man living in the Calne area, and he
:02:56. > :03:02.was a loving brother and uncle. What about the police, what have
:03:02. > :03:08.they said? May have a major commissions incident team who won
:03:08. > :03:11.now looking at this, looking at people who drove the ambulance as
:03:11. > :03:17.witnesses rather than suspect. They want to hear from anyone who may
:03:17. > :03:20.have seen or heard anything here on the early hours of Sunday morning.
:03:20. > :03:23.Unemployment has risen for the first time this year in the West
:03:23. > :03:26.Country. More than 46,000 people are out of work and claiming
:03:26. > :03:30.benefit in the Points West area, according to figures published this
:03:30. > :03:37.morning. And as our business correspondent Dave Harvey reports,
:03:37. > :03:41.women are being hit particularly hard.
:03:41. > :03:46.For shoppers after a bargain, some good news in Filton this morning.
:03:46. > :03:50.But not, of course, for the 58 staff that work in this High Street
:03:50. > :03:54.store and who have now joined the growing queues at the JobCentre.
:03:54. > :04:00.Across the West Country, today's figures showed more than 2000 new
:04:00. > :04:02.people were signing on in July, up on the previous month by nearly 5%.
:04:03. > :04:07.Government ministers say they share their pain and they are doing what
:04:07. > :04:13.they say they can to help. This area is to become an enterprise
:04:13. > :04:17.zone, with tax breaks for companies setting up here. How does that help
:04:17. > :04:21.people fired from that shop in Filton? Critics say that news zones
:04:21. > :04:25.like this concentrate all the new jobs in one area and suck the
:04:25. > :04:29.economic life out of the surrounding areas. There is a focus
:04:29. > :04:32.on making sure this is new business is coming into the area, new
:04:32. > :04:37.businesses setting up to reduce the displacement effect. Secondly,
:04:37. > :04:40.there is much less emphasis on retail. Overwhelmingly, but jobs
:04:40. > :04:48.are in high-value things like precision engineering, so very
:04:48. > :04:53.different. Meanwhile, the job cuts continue, especially it seems in
:04:53. > :04:56.hospitals and care homes. In other words, in the public sector. It is
:04:56. > :05:03.hospitals and councils it through the main. Normally they would be
:05:03. > :05:08.employing through the holiday.. They are saying they cannot afford
:05:08. > :05:11.recruitment. We are getting more temporary business, because people
:05:11. > :05:16.are tending to go through the temperate route as opposed to
:05:16. > :05:19.permanent. And this is affecting women? It is, we are finding a lot
:05:19. > :05:24.more women coming through the door because they work in the social
:05:24. > :05:29.sectors, Council, and part-time workers. Officially, Britain is
:05:29. > :05:35.still in the back, out of recession. But as the shops closed down and
:05:35. > :05:38.told queues go up, the West Country is starting to feel this -- feel
:05:38. > :05:40.the chill once again. New graffiti has appeared on a main
:05:41. > :05:44.route into Bristol following last week's unrest. The words "respect
:05:44. > :05:46.to the rioters" have been sprayed on a bridge over the M32. The
:05:47. > :05:50.council say their graffiti removal team will be going out tomorrow
:05:50. > :05:53.morning. The MP for Bristol West Stephen Williams told us the
:05:53. > :05:56.rioters don't deserve respect and anyone connected to them should be
:05:56. > :05:59.ashamed of themselves. Meanwhile the BBC's Newsnight
:05:59. > :06:06.programme has been in Gloucester, trying to work out what caused last
:06:06. > :06:08.week's riots there. The team spoke to young people in the town and to
:06:08. > :06:16.the police who believe what happened can be partly explained by
:06:17. > :06:20.a lack of facilities and opportunities for young people.
:06:20. > :06:24.you look at what is happening across the whole of the country in
:06:24. > :06:28.terms of cutbacks of services for a number of people, it is likely that
:06:28. > :06:32.will have an impact on whether people they feel that they are
:06:32. > :06:36.being valued, listened to and targeting the services they need.
:06:36. > :06:39.Some of that may have played out on Tuesday evening in Gloucester. It
:06:39. > :06:46.is very hard to say there is a direct impact. Certainly, what we
:06:46. > :06:49.would like to see is far more services to young people, far more
:06:49. > :06:52.activities to engage young people and make them feel they have got a
:06:52. > :06:56.stake in society, they have got some hope of getting a job in the
:06:56. > :07:00.future, some hope of getting decent education and training, they have
:07:00. > :07:05.got a place in society when they are actually learning a living --
:07:05. > :07:08.earning a living and able to do all those sort of thing that we all do.
:07:08. > :07:11.Well, in Bristol today work began on one such project, a multi-
:07:11. > :07:16.million pound youth centre. It's being built to give those who wish
:07:16. > :07:20.to avoid crime a better chance to succeed in life.
:07:20. > :07:27.At the moment, an old building site, but in just 12 months' time, it
:07:27. > :07:32.will be the hot of a �5.5 million project to help and inspire young
:07:32. > :07:42.people. A cafe run by young people, and upstairs, studios for art,
:07:42. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:47.television and radio. And much more. It is a long way off opening, but
:07:47. > :07:51.today sort the first achievement of The Station. Street art was admired
:07:51. > :07:55.by the young artists themselves. are trying to get our point across
:07:55. > :07:59.that the youth of today are not that bad. They are just normal
:07:59. > :08:04.children. If you see a had become and someone being violent, you
:08:04. > :08:10.assume teenager, that was what we are trying to challenge. It is good,
:08:10. > :08:16.enjoyable, keep kids of the street, it is a good idea. It is lot of fun.
:08:16. > :08:20.The Station is aimed at young people who are described as from
:08:20. > :08:24.challenging background. Suffering from abuse, poverty or disability.
:08:24. > :08:28.Top graffiti artist Felix Braun like what he saw in his young
:08:28. > :08:31.students. One to bring them round, they listen and they are able to
:08:31. > :08:34.take advantage from someone who has been doing it for a long time.
:08:34. > :08:38.Maybe I am able to point out to them that what they are doing is
:08:38. > :08:45.really good, and maybe it is better than a thick it is. That is the
:08:45. > :08:50.point, instilling some confidence - - it is better they may think it is.
:08:50. > :08:54.The Station project will give youth a chance to find their own way and
:08:54. > :08:57.deter them from a criminal life. When you talk to young people and
:08:57. > :09:02.ask them what their biggest problem is, they say boredom. They say they
:09:02. > :09:09.have got nothing to do. We want to make sure they have something to do,
:09:09. > :09:15.they do have some way to go. So we can motivate them into more
:09:15. > :09:18.positive activities. When it eventually opens, it will also
:09:18. > :09:21.provide things like social help and counselling.
:09:21. > :09:24.You're watching BBC Points West this Wednesday evening with Alex
:09:24. > :09:27.and Will. Stay with us for the forecast. There's some nasty rain
:09:27. > :09:30.on the way. Coming up on tonight's programme.
:09:30. > :09:33.Cor, look at that! Why they're digging up the past in North
:09:33. > :09:43.Somerset. And poet's corner, we visit the
:09:43. > :09:45.
:09:45. > :09:47.newly renovated home of Samuel It's a nail biting time for many
:09:47. > :09:53.students with A level results out tomorrow, and the competition for
:09:53. > :09:57.university places as tough as ever. Many are rushing to get in before
:09:57. > :10:00.next year's increase in tuition fees. And standing by for what
:10:00. > :10:04.could be its busiest year is the Universities Admissions Service in
:10:04. > :10:06.Gloucestershire. Advisers will be on hand to help those who didn't
:10:06. > :10:14.quite get what they needed. Our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve
:10:14. > :10:19.Knibbs, has more. Hundreds of thousands of letters
:10:19. > :10:22.coming of the printers at UCAS today, each one with a life-
:10:22. > :10:26.changing decision. Waiting anxiously for hers is Tasha Cook
:10:26. > :10:30.from Gloucester. With these going up next year, she says the pressure
:10:30. > :10:35.is on to get a place before it becomes too expensive. This is the
:10:35. > :10:39.overthrow need to get him. It is almost �9,000, it has tripled. I
:10:39. > :10:45.was worried about the debt this year, it would stop me from going.
:10:45. > :10:48.If I had to go next year, I do not think I would get him. Back at UCAS,
:10:48. > :10:54.they are getting ready to deal with a record number of applications.
:10:54. > :11:01.The amount of students opting for year of his down dramatically. -- a
:11:01. > :11:07.year off is down dramatically. is going down every year, so it is
:11:07. > :11:10.not the only reason, the fees. The number of children who are 18 this
:11:10. > :11:17.year has also gone down and that has played a part in the change in
:11:17. > :11:21.the number of applicants. This year, UCAS will have a brave the world.
:11:21. > :11:26.It as a digital Hub, offering advice across all the social
:11:26. > :11:29.networks. UCAS is getting connected to the likes of Twitter, Facebook
:11:29. > :11:37.and YouTube. But the team is also trawling those networks to see who
:11:37. > :11:42.is talking about UCAS and sending them advice as well. We are. We are
:11:42. > :11:45.trying to answer general queries, things like circumstances changed.
:11:45. > :11:50.Any message to put up can reach thousands of people so we are
:11:50. > :11:53.potentially helping lots of people rather than just on a one-to-one
:11:54. > :12:01.basis on the phone. For those who didn't do so well, there should be
:12:01. > :12:03.still plenty of places available through clearing.
:12:03. > :12:06.Good luck to everyone waiting for results.
:12:06. > :12:09.A second person has been charged in connection with the death of a
:12:09. > :12:13.Taunton schoolgirl who was knocked off her bike. 13-year-old Amy
:12:13. > :12:16.Hofmeister died after being hit by a car on Blackbrook Way in June. A
:12:16. > :12:20.local man has already pleaded guilty to causing her death by
:12:20. > :12:30.dangerous driving. Now a woman who was driving a separate vehicle has
:12:30. > :12:34.
:12:34. > :12:36.also been charged. Documents seen by the BBC have once
:12:36. > :12:38.again revealed the extent of complaints to the government
:12:39. > :12:40.regulator about a private hospital near Bristol, for people with
:12:41. > :12:43.learning disabilities. Winterbourne View was closed after Panorama
:12:43. > :12:49.filmed patients being mistreated there. Dickon Hooper joins us in
:12:49. > :12:53.the studio to tell us more. What we have learned today is what another
:12:53. > :12:58.step in the road of who knew what and when. Under the Freedom in --
:12:58. > :13:01.freedom of information act, we discovered the Care Quality
:13:01. > :13:05.Commission was warned nine times alone last year that there were
:13:05. > :13:09.problems at Winterbourne View. I will give you a flavour of the kind
:13:09. > :13:13.of incident flag up to them, patient stated support worker gets
:13:13. > :13:19.rough when angry. Another worker reported for slapping a patient
:13:19. > :13:22.price. It gives you an idea of the problems there. All of these
:13:22. > :13:27.incidents were investigated locally, but they add to the sense that
:13:27. > :13:31.people knew all were warned that there were possible problems. We
:13:31. > :13:36.reported a few weeks ago that the local council had been told 19
:13:36. > :13:41.times about concerns, since the home opened in 2006. So where do we
:13:41. > :13:44.go from here? We are all waiting for this serious case review that
:13:44. > :13:49.South Gloucestershire council is conducting at the moment. That
:13:49. > :13:54.might not be ready until next year, and if there are criminal
:13:54. > :13:57.proceedings active, some of it might be edited out before
:13:57. > :14:01.publication. What we are seeing is all the organisations involved in
:14:01. > :14:05.providing this care or regulating it or investigating any potential
:14:05. > :14:09.abuse, they are all making sure, they have all put their hands up
:14:09. > :14:14.and said, we have got some things wrong. They are all making sure
:14:14. > :14:18.that everybody knows everybody's responsibilities. No one wants to
:14:18. > :14:21.be left carrying the can on that -- of Merrow and when that case review
:14:21. > :14:25.comes out. Local academics joined forces with
:14:25. > :14:28.the At Bristol team today to pull up a tube of soil from deep in the
:14:28. > :14:31.Gordano Valley, all for a brand new exhibition at the hands on science
:14:32. > :14:34.centre. The core of earth will show visitors a fantastic array of
:14:34. > :14:39.stripes laid down over many thousands of years, as the area
:14:39. > :14:49.turned from a great lake to a solid piece of land. Here's Amanda Parr
:14:49. > :14:50.
:14:50. > :15:00.to dish the dirt. You take one great long stick, two
:15:00. > :15:00.
:15:00. > :15:10.geographically educated minds, some elbow grease, and... Cor! 32 and a
:15:10. > :15:14.half metres of peat crew were - through to a half metres of peat,
:15:14. > :15:18.when all of this was not field, it went from icy tundra to a warmer
:15:18. > :15:24.lake with vegetation. Apparently this spot is the perfect place to
:15:24. > :15:27.do this, because there is a lot of peat beneath us with high water
:15:27. > :15:32.content. It to bounce up and down, you can feel the earth move, it is
:15:32. > :15:36.like a giant sponge. Beneath that, all of the material is perfectly
:15:36. > :15:40.preserved. We are looking at organic things here, plants living
:15:40. > :15:45.on the surface of the lake with their shoots coming upwards. It is
:15:45. > :15:50.really useful for asked to show what we can do and what -- how it
:15:50. > :15:53.can be used to reconstruct a landscapes. The Science and
:15:53. > :15:59.Discovery Centre wants to in case these stripes in it resin and put
:15:59. > :16:02.them in a new exhibition called our world. You'll be able to play with
:16:02. > :16:07.spiders, dinosaurs and fish, they will be able to climb all over you.
:16:07. > :16:11.You'll be able to play with a water cycle, where you move water around
:16:11. > :16:18.the planet, pretend to be the son and crowds. And then we will have
:16:18. > :16:25.the core here, it is helping people to realise that beneath our feet,
:16:25. > :16:28.there was quite a long change, so what is beneath our feet is a great
:16:28. > :16:33.archive of environmental change. The core is off to be tidied up,
:16:33. > :16:43.arriving at its new home in the new year. Amazing how a simple slice of
:16:43. > :16:45.
:16:45. > :16:48.field could have such a tall story to tell.
:16:48. > :16:53.For the first time in five years, the Stonehenge is the most visited
:16:53. > :16:56.water -- attraction in the south- west. The World Heritage Site had
:16:57. > :17:04.more visitors than the Eden project last year. The Roman baths was also
:17:04. > :17:06.on the list of the top 20 attractions that people paid to see.
:17:06. > :17:09.Football, and the Bristol City manager Keith Millen is urging his
:17:09. > :17:12.players to stay positive as they head to Leicester tonight. City are
:17:12. > :17:15.still looking for their first win of the season, having lost both
:17:15. > :17:24.their games so far, the latest to Cardiff at the weekend. Tonight's
:17:24. > :17:30.opponents Leicester were the pre- season favourites for promotion.
:17:30. > :17:34.little bit of pressure on them, they have not had a flying start,
:17:34. > :17:38.and they are favourites because of the money. We have got to use that
:17:38. > :17:41.to our advantage, if we can start well and grow into the game, we
:17:41. > :17:45.know we have got enough their ability and talent to had any team
:17:45. > :17:48.this year. In last night's games, there was further frustration for
:17:48. > :17:52.Paolo Di Canio and Swindon. In fact, Bristol Rovers were our only
:17:52. > :17:56.winners, as Alistair Durden reports. Paul Buckle signed 15 players over
:17:56. > :18:01.the summer, but it was one Rovers old guard who gave them the lead.
:18:01. > :18:04.Great control and technique from Jo Kuffour. Northampton, managed by
:18:04. > :18:10.former City and Yeovil boss Gary Johnson, pulled level with a
:18:10. > :18:13.scruffy goal. Bayo Akinfenwa claimed the last touch. But Rovers
:18:13. > :18:20.became the first side to beat Northampton this season. Matt
:18:20. > :18:23.Harrold used one of his long legs to poke in the winner. Just the one
:18:23. > :18:33.goal at Huish Park, where Sam Baldock struck early for MK Dons,
:18:33. > :18:33.
:18:33. > :18:35.and Yeovil couldn't turn their chances into an equaliser.
:18:35. > :18:40.Endeavour and passion and commitment they showed, I think the
:18:40. > :18:43.supporters will go home happy. MK Dons will be looking at knocking on
:18:43. > :18:46.the door promotion this year. Cheltenham failed to follow up
:18:46. > :18:50.their win over Swindon. Morecambe were on the mark first at the Abbey
:18:50. > :18:52.Business Stadium. It took until the 84th minute for the Robins to take
:18:52. > :18:56.one of their chances, Jeff Goulding showing how it's done. Morecambe's
:18:56. > :18:59.winner was controversial. Was this a foul by Kevin Eillson? Cheltenham
:18:59. > :19:08.certainly thought so, as he ran through in stoppage time to pinch
:19:08. > :19:11.the win. That Was Poor, it was a blatant foul, I have just seen it.
:19:11. > :19:14.He has got his hands all over him and he has pushed him over.
:19:14. > :19:17.interest in Paolo Di Canio isn't letting up, and despite the
:19:17. > :19:23.sunglasses, it's been a gloomy week for Swindon. A second defeat in
:19:23. > :19:26.four days, this time to Dagenham & Redbridge.
:19:26. > :19:28.The Somerset cottage where the 18th century poet Samuel Taylor
:19:28. > :19:34.Coleridge wrote many of his most famous works has been reopened
:19:34. > :19:38.after a restoration project. The National Trust has spent �175,000
:19:38. > :19:48.restoring the property to give the public an idea of what it was like
:19:48. > :19:49.

:21:04. > :21:07.now but at the time it was incredibly radical. They put their

:22:36. > :22:40.a good job they loved the place because it needed a little of that.
:22:40. > :22:44.And an awful lot of this, if these volunteers were going to make it
:22:44. > :22:50.work as a community business. many of the amenities were closing
:22:50. > :22:56.down, so the sheer fact that we have done what we have done to keep

:23:33. > :23:39.testing. It has been a real emotional journey. I cannot deny

:23:58. > :24:04.promotional stunt a rebutted almost imploded and turned that whole
:24:04. > :24:11.community against the community -- against the project. I was like,
:24:11. > :24:17.what have I done? This is the Barge Inn at Honeystreet near Peswey now.
:24:17. > :24:24.It is successful, being run for the community. But it has been quite a
:24:24. > :24:30.journey to get here. Village SOS, if he wants to watch
:24:30. > :24:37.more, it is on at 8pm tonight. -- if you want to watch more. If you
:24:37. > :24:40.are interested in getting in -- involved with your community, or go
:24:40. > :24:50.to the website. We were talking earlier about the
:24:50. > :24:53.fact that we have got quite a lot We have managed to 17, 18 degrees
:24:53. > :25:02.today, not too bad. I think tomorrow we will notice how much
:25:02. > :25:06.cooler it is. Some part of the region could get as low as 15 or 16,
:25:06. > :25:13.no higher, there is a lot of cloud and at bricks of rain. Initially
:25:13. > :25:17.the rain will be patchy, but running up to the M4, the rain
:25:17. > :25:22.could be heavy at times. The same weather system has given us some
:25:22. > :25:27.patchy rain earlier today in the form of showers. It is still there,
:25:27. > :25:31.it weakens for a time overnight tonight. We do see some clear skies.
:25:31. > :25:35.The front will move northwards, that will thicken the clouds and
:25:35. > :25:42.start to produce some rain particularly across Somerset and
:25:42. > :25:45.Dorset. Dorset will see some of the heaviest rain. Overnight, some
:25:45. > :25:50.clear skies initially, but generally clouding over from the
:25:50. > :25:54.South giving patchy light rain. The rain is becoming more persistent
:25:54. > :25:59.towards dawn. Overnight, temperatures down to nine or 10
:25:59. > :26:07.degrees. A cold start tomorrow, it will gradually warm up. A lot of
:26:07. > :26:10.cloud for, giving outbreaks of rain -- outbreaks of rain. It will all
:26:10. > :26:17.clear-out of the way to end the day, we might even get some late
:26:17. > :26:22.sunshine in the far west. Temperatures tomorrow, up to 15 or
:26:22. > :26:27.16 degrees. Probably no higher than that. Quite a cool feel to the day,
:26:27. > :26:31.even though we see some late sunshine. We are just on the edge
:26:31. > :26:35.of an area of high pressure, so Friday into Saturday looks pretty
:26:35. > :26:40.dry and fine. Sunday, we have got weather fronts coming in from the
:26:41. > :26:46.north, which could bring the risk of some showers. That is Friday, a
:26:47. > :26:56.fine day with dry weather. More cloud on Saturday, some sunny spell
:26:56. > :27:01.You can keep up-to-date with the BBC's website and radio stations.
:27:01. > :27:06.Spare a thought for an owl who is recovering after having a sop
:27:06. > :27:10.removed from his stomach! He was a hand-reared from birth in
:27:10. > :27:14.Gloucestershire and he used the sock as a toy. He was taken to the
:27:14. > :27:20.vet who thought the lump in his stomach could be a tumour. It was
:27:20. > :27:27.only after operating that the lump was found to be a sock! We have
