:00:49. > :00:53.Gloucestershire-based 1 Rifles has been killed in Afghanistan. The
:00:53. > :00:58.Ministry of Defence says he was shot while on patrol in in the
:00:58. > :01:02.Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province. His family have been told.
:01:02. > :01:05.The announcement of his death comes on the day a new BBC series starts,

:01:16. > :01:21.At Beachley Barracks tonight, the candle which will only be
:01:21. > :01:26.extinguished when they all return, has taken on an added poignancy.
:01:26. > :01:30.Five riflemen have now lost their lives on this tour. It particularly
:01:30. > :01:34.affects people back here when they knew that person but there is still
:01:35. > :01:40.a fair bit of the tour to go and everyone back here has a key job.

:02:17. > :02:24.is not for them. The recruits are pushed like never before to focus
:02:24. > :02:34.on the physical demands of their tours of duty. But, strikingly, the
:02:34. > :02:35.
:02:35. > :02:42.programme also shows the struggles of their families. I will go to
:02:42. > :02:49.Afghanistan at least twice in my four years. Nobody is pushing you.
:02:49. > :02:54.You could come out now. I would lose my pride. The reality is that
:02:54. > :02:59.these recruits were filmed over one year ago and today, the majority
:02:59. > :03:04.are in Afghanistan, fighting and unrelenting enemy and having to
:03:04. > :03:07.comes -- come to terms with the another death of a colleague. The
:03:07. > :03:14.news that makes it even more difficult if you are waiting back
:03:14. > :03:20.home. It upset you. You get down. I have a good family support network
:03:20. > :03:25.and every wife and mother needs a support network. I have a good
:03:25. > :03:30.family support network which Young Soldiers programme pulls no
:03:30. > :03:33.punches. The Rifles wanted the public to see just what they ask of
:03:33. > :03:43.their recruits from day one to deployment. And, as today has shown,
:03:43. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:50.it's a deployment that carries with Hundreds of people are protesting
:03:50. > :03:55.against a toxic waste dump in Gloucestershire, claiming the dust

:04:22. > :04:28.that is mixed with water and M Teague into this hole and covered
:04:28. > :04:33.with a lid of play. It worries protesters who made this video. It
:04:33. > :04:37.shows the hazardous waste being unloaded. They say the cloud you
:04:37. > :04:43.can see contains dangerous dust which blows the way it on to their
:04:43. > :04:46.homes. On one occasion, two tons of the stuff was dropped out of the
:04:46. > :04:53.Silo in 15 seconds and so it is just as well the wind wasn't
:04:53. > :05:00.blowing. The next time, it might be blowing in my direction. Our houses
:05:00. > :05:05.irritating cough when I come back from a holiday and going to
:05:05. > :05:11.Bishop's Cleeve. You blame that on the dust coming from the side?
:05:11. > :05:19.yes. The owners, Grundon Waste Management, say this is the closely
:05:19. > :05:23.-- most closely monitored site in the UK. The protest do raise the
:05:23. > :05:27.question about what we do with the incinerator waste. Burning
:05:27. > :05:34.household rubbish leaves one third of the original weight as ash and
:05:34. > :05:41.it has to go somewhere. Why as and why here, say campaigners. There
:05:41. > :05:46.are alternatives. In Cheshire, the Ashes triple bagged and dumped in
:05:46. > :05:50.old salt mines. The decision on the future of this site will be made
:05:50. > :05:53.next week. The threat that beautiful rural
:05:53. > :05:56.areas of the Westcountry could be bulldozed is once again causing
:05:56. > :06:00.concern. Despite last year's change of government, campaigners say
:06:00. > :06:03.pressure is once more being applied to build homes on green fields.
:06:04. > :06:08.That'll be debated at a Bath and North East Somerset council meeting
:06:08. > :06:16.tonight. Alex. Yes, the West's glorious
:06:16. > :06:19.countryside is beloved and fiercely So, there was much relief last year
:06:19. > :06:23.when the new coalition government scrapped a system of targets which
:06:23. > :06:27.would have forced the south west to build hundreds of thousands of new
:06:27. > :06:30.houses. But hopes these fields would be safe have been dealt a new
:06:30. > :06:35.blow. First, came the government's snappily titled National Planning
:06:36. > :06:41.Policy Framework. And this is line which has caused alarm, that there
:06:41. > :06:45.should be "a presumption in favour of sustainable development". And,
:06:45. > :06:48.on top of that, Planning Inspectors say not enough's being done by
:06:48. > :06:52.councils like Bath and North East Somerset. Last year, Banes lifted
:06:52. > :06:55.the threat hanging over these fields. But after pressure from an
:06:55. > :07:05.Inspector, they're now debating whether other land between Bristol
:07:05. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:14.and Bath might in fact be built on. The issue that we have is that the
:07:14. > :07:19.value of land is so high that property prices are high. It is
:07:19. > :07:22.difficult to get onto the property ladder and for people with low
:07:22. > :07:27.incomes to find affordable rental property and for our social
:07:27. > :07:32.landlords to find land to build housing that they can make viable
:07:32. > :07:42.with the social event. To build or not to build? That's not the
:07:42. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:48.question. It's where to build Earlier, I spoke to Dr Burgess and
:07:48. > :07:54.I asked him whether building on greenfield sites was inevitable?
:07:54. > :07:59.don't think it is inevitable that we will build on greenfield sites
:07:59. > :08:04.but my plea is that every community needs affordable homes. If you take
:08:04. > :08:08.Somerset and Devon for example, house prices have gone up
:08:09. > :08:13.dramatically and there are many second-home owners and many elderly
:08:13. > :08:18.people live in rural communities. For the sake of young people, they
:08:18. > :08:22.need affordable homes in rural communities. But do we have a
:08:22. > :08:28.choice but to build on greenfield sites given that, in the
:08:28. > :08:33.Westcountry, we have run out of brownfield sites? It is important
:08:33. > :08:39.to use brownfield sites if at all possible, but from time to time,
:08:39. > :08:44.small areas - and I insist on small areas - being used for affordable
:08:44. > :08:50.homes will prove to be invaluable for the vibrancy of future rural
:08:50. > :08:54.communities. Will the Government actually say to go ahead end use
:08:54. > :08:59.greenfield sites after all? Government has come out with a
:08:59. > :09:04.planning and localism bill which will go together. It is important
:09:04. > :09:10.to realise that the government says that they are in favour of
:09:10. > :09:15.sustainable development and that the default position is, yes. What
:09:15. > :09:20.the Government needs to do is to describe what they mean by a
:09:20. > :09:28."sustainable development" and whether it means on green field
:09:28. > :09:31.sites. In my guess, in some small areas, it may. Thank you very much.
:09:31. > :09:37.Welcome to Thursdays Points West with Chris and Alex.
:09:37. > :09:41.Coming up: The pace yourselves - why plans to bring back Bristol's
:09:42. > :09:45.marathon are already feeling the strain.
:09:45. > :09:49.And the world according to Ollie - we catch up with the most quotable
:09:49. > :09:57.man in football. I have only cared about what I'd do
:09:57. > :10:00.and I hope other people appreciate A 50-year-old man from Melksham has
:10:00. > :10:04.been charged with manslaughter and perverting the course of justice in
:10:04. > :10:07.relation to the death of Adrian Cooksey in 2009. Mr Cooksey, from
:10:07. > :10:12.Trowbridge, was attacked in the town after a night out, and was
:10:12. > :10:16.found with serious head injuries. He died later in hospital. Richard
:10:16. > :10:20.Elmes has been released on bail and will appear before North Wiltshire
:10:20. > :10:22.magistrates later this month. Another man was cleared of Mr
:10:22. > :10:28.Cooksey's manslaughter after a trial at Bristol Crown Court nearly
:10:28. > :10:31.two years ago. A huge new wetland reserve for
:10:31. > :10:36.birds is being developed on the Somerset coast and today residents
:10:36. > :10:38.had a chance to see the plans close up. The aim is to provide a
:10:38. > :10:44.sanctuary for migrating birds on Bridgwater Bay but, unusually, the
:10:44. > :10:54.work is being paid for by the Bristol Port Company. Why? Our
:10:54. > :10:57.
:10:57. > :11:00.business correspondent Dave Harvey We want to create a habitat for
:11:01. > :11:04.birds and protect the area where people live.
:11:04. > :11:08.This is the plan - 135 hectares of saltmarsh and mudflats, flooded and
:11:08. > :11:18.drained every day as the tide ebbs and flows - a playground for wading
:11:18. > :11:21.birds and wetland wildlife. All this work is to compensate for what
:11:21. > :11:25.they are doing 30 miles up the coast. At Avonmouth the Port
:11:25. > :11:32.Company has permission to build a huge new deep water terminal,
:11:32. > :11:39.costing �600 million. The new container terminal will go 100
:11:39. > :11:44.metres beyond that might house and then right at the estuary. All this
:11:44. > :11:50.will be contain years and concrete and no place for a bird. --
:11:50. > :11:54.containers. We have to create an area somewhere on the Severn
:11:54. > :11:59.estuary. It is an opportunity to create a habitat for birds and do
:11:59. > :12:02.something useful for the local community. And so, in the village
:12:02. > :12:12.sports club, they've been listening. And perhaps surprisingly, the
:12:12. > :12:13.
:12:13. > :12:17.reception has been rather good. They are always concerned,
:12:17. > :12:22.especially when you get a major scheme. There will be concerns but
:12:22. > :12:26.I think the Bristol port company has done a pretty good job.
:12:26. > :12:28.everyone's happy. These fields are a popular shooting spot with local
:12:28. > :12:31.wildfowlers. Unsurprisingly, that won't be allowed when it's a bird
:12:32. > :12:41.reserve. And they question if this coastline really needs any more
:12:42. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:48.wetland. The habitat is desperately-needed at there. We do
:12:48. > :12:52.not really need any more mud flats. At a the 9th tonight, the
:12:52. > :13:02.bulldozers art on hold as nothing will happen here and to the global
:13:02. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:20.economy picks up. When it does, the De Pass car has been for a look
:13:20. > :13:24.around. People mainly think of eye problems
:13:24. > :13:29.as being down to old age but more than 200 children come to this
:13:29. > :13:36.hospital every week, and demand is growing. 10 month old Noah needed
:13:36. > :13:40.help from day one. When he was 12 hours old they discovered he had no
:13:40. > :13:48.light reflects in his left eye and it probably had a cataract. It was
:13:48. > :13:54.later confirmed by a doctor here. He had surgery at six weeks to
:13:54. > :13:59.remove the cataract. Cover a vast array of conditions. We have
:13:59. > :14:03.children with diabetes which is now increasing with obesity, and a lot
:14:03. > :14:07.of children with just eye movement disorders where am I could be
:14:07. > :14:11.turning in or turning out. The children's eyes service deals with
:14:11. > :14:14.will same problems the adult service deals with. And with
:14:14. > :14:19.numbers growing, this should new unit has enabled staff to offer a
:14:19. > :14:24.child friendly service. It is absolutely invaluable to us. We
:14:24. > :14:29.come here most weeks, sometimes a couple of times a week, sometimes
:14:29. > :14:33.every couple of weeks, but we are familiar faces down here. It is not
:14:33. > :14:39.just about better service, though. A new research unit also means
:14:39. > :14:43.better care. The importance is that it allows us to deliver to our
:14:43. > :14:48.region and our patients the best care possible in the world, so that
:14:48. > :14:53.the patient can now come and have full choice of either having
:14:53. > :15:00.treatment or having new research drugs delivered to them in a
:15:00. > :15:03.research trial. It has not been cheap, costing �1.9 million, so on
:15:03. > :15:11.Saturday's open day, the public will get to experience the cutting
:15:11. > :15:16.edge technology for themselves. the Wiltshire company Dyson has
:15:16. > :15:20.launched a new fan heater, which it says will revolutionise the market.
:15:20. > :15:23.The Dyson Hot is the latest invention to come out of their
:15:23. > :15:28.Malmesbury factory. The company is hoping it will add to it's record
:15:28. > :15:35.profits, made last year, and keep them on track to employ hundreds of
:15:35. > :15:38.new engineers from the West Country. Here in James Dyson's office, you
:15:38. > :15:45.can really see the evolution of his company. There is everything here
:15:45. > :15:48.from the vacuum cleaner that started it all, to its eventual
:15:48. > :15:55.successors. Now there is something you to come out of this Wiltshire-
:15:56. > :15:59.based. This: The Dyson Hot. -- this Wiltshire based. Like most of the
:15:59. > :16:03.company's other products, this has been a closely guarded secret at
:16:03. > :16:06.Dyson's headquarters and to live was launched this week. The company
:16:06. > :16:10.thinks it will revolutionise the way fan heaters work. We recognise
:16:10. > :16:15.there are many fan heaters there, but also lots of problems with them,
:16:15. > :16:19.so often when the heat comes out it goes straight to the ceiling and
:16:19. > :16:23.you don't feel it, or it goes to the us -- other side of the room.
:16:23. > :16:27.They have limited control and the metal grilles can get hot. They
:16:27. > :16:31.also burnt dust which gives off a pungent odour, so we recognise
:16:31. > :16:35.there is a lot of opportunity to do much better. In recent years, Dyson
:16:35. > :16:40.shut its UK factory and moved production to the Far East amid
:16:40. > :16:46.strong criticism. But it says will show remains its engineering hub,
:16:46. > :16:51.with plans to bring in hundreds of new people. We have really exciting
:16:51. > :16:56.plans to expand further. It is all very local, as well, so the
:16:56. > :17:00.majority of my colleagues, we live in Wiltshire, I live in Bristol,
:17:00. > :17:06.Bath, Chippenham, it is all very local and we are growing quickly,
:17:06. > :17:10.so it is very exciting for the south-west. Sir James Dyson is now
:17:10. > :17:17.in the US promoting this new fan heater, which he says is built to
:17:17. > :17:27.last. But at �269 each, it may not be burning a hole in everyone's
:17:27. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:33.A new cycle hire scheme has started in Bath, a version of London's
:17:33. > :17:37.Boris Bikes. The cycles can be accessed using an electronic card
:17:37. > :17:40.available from the "Bike in Bath" website. There are four docking
:17:40. > :17:45.stations in the city centre including Orange Grove and outside
:17:45. > :17:48.the Holburne Museum. There will be 58 bikes, and cyclists will be able
:17:48. > :17:53.to return them to any of the stations.

:17:57. > :18:01.Holloway, the former Bristol Rovers player and manager, currently in

:19:00. > :19:05.conference suite. Will you manage in Bristol one day again, do you
:19:05. > :19:09.think? I honestly don't think so. I think we are trying to get a base
:19:09. > :19:15.where my wife and I can live and hopefully that will be in and
:19:15. > :19:19.around the Bath area. I don't want to work where I live. I treated

:19:23. > :19:28.treated me saying he is a top man and I named my son after him. Are
:19:28. > :19:34.you aware how you affect people? that is really nice. I feel sorry
:19:34. > :19:39.for the lad, is he Oliver or just Ollie? We are good mates and I have
:19:39. > :19:43.only ever just tried hard and only cared about what I do and hopefully
:19:43. > :19:49.other people can associate with that. Things like that are nice,

:20:43. > :20:48.runner had not yet arrived. One of the hazards of the race was dodging

:20:52. > :20:57.traffic. I can certainly remember trying to get across the junction
:20:57. > :21:01.as the traffic lights change. It was a bit dangerous. -- changed.
:21:01. > :21:06.is more controlled now. During the Bristol Half Marathon last weekend
:21:06. > :21:10.all the roads were closed and it cost around �400,000 to put on. It
:21:10. > :21:15.was mainly down to money why the full marathon was cancelled in
:21:15. > :21:19.1987: It just wasn't paying its way. But now, enthusiasm will bring it
:21:19. > :21:23.back. A group of runners was going to put on a small, unofficial
:21:23. > :21:27.marathon this November, but when news went up on the website, 600

:21:41. > :21:46.half marathon?? I don't know. I really, really wish them luck, but
:21:46. > :21:50.its appeal is limited, especially in Bristol. Bristol is known for

:21:55. > :21:58.it can go, I think. No date has been set for the race as yet, but
:21:58. > :22:03.organisers say they are already attracting sponsorship and dozens
:22:03. > :22:05.of offers of help. When there is a date, we will let
:22:05. > :22:10.you know! Start training now!
:22:10. > :22:13.Limbering up! Here in the West, we have a proud
:22:14. > :22:18.carnival tradition, whether it is summertime in St Paul's or a Winter
:22:18. > :22:22.Wonderland in Weston. In Wiltshire, they do things a little differently.
:22:22. > :22:26.On Saturday, the small village of Pewsey will host the county's
:22:26. > :22:31.largest and oldest illuminated carnival, and tonight, they kick-
:22:31. > :22:37.off with a wheelbarrow race. Lizzie Way is there for us with a
:22:38. > :22:43.few friends, aren't you, Lucy? a few! It might not be on the
:22:43. > :22:46.London 2012 agenda but it is on Pewsey's agenda. This carnival will
:22:46. > :22:51.be kick-starting with a wheelbarrow race. Sally strong is from the
:22:51. > :22:55.carnival. This is an unusual start. It is lovely. Thanks for coming
:22:55. > :23:00.down, BBC Points West, anyway. A lovely wheelbarrow race, a great
:23:00. > :23:05.laugh, everyone goes around, has a drink, dresses up. What happens?
:23:05. > :23:08.They go to every pub August will be in the village and have a drink,
:23:08. > :23:11.and they are all in fancy dress and it is raising money for Pewsey
:23:11. > :23:15.carnival, which goes to all our charities including the air
:23:15. > :23:22.ambulance. It is over a hundred years old so there is a lot of
:23:22. > :23:29.tradition but it is still just as popular. Exactly, we get crowds of
:23:29. > :23:32.two or 3000, but we do it because we all love it, don't we? This
:23:32. > :23:36.evening will obviously be a lot of fun, but what about the rest of the
:23:36. > :23:40.weekend? Today we have the wheelbarrow race and people can
:23:40. > :23:44.still come down, we have limited car parking, but anyway, tomorrow,
:23:44. > :23:49.we have a Saturday -- a carnival, Saturday it culminates in a
:23:49. > :23:54.competition. It is all eliminated, it costs nothing, please come down,
:23:54. > :24:04.it will be a great day -- all illuminated. Who will be the top
:24:04. > :24:10.
:24:10. > :24:14.A I will hand back to before they put me in a wheelbarrow! I am sure
:24:14. > :24:18.you will grace it beautifully. They are warming up in their own
:24:18. > :24:20.special and unique way. They may be drunk in charge of a
:24:20. > :24:28.wheelbarrow! Let's see if they have the weather
:24:28. > :24:34.Tonight is not too bad. The bulk will remain dry-eyed but a
:24:34. > :24:38.brilliant story -- different story by the weekend. Tomorrow, I hope
:24:38. > :24:41.the majority of our districts will stay dry, or thereabouts, would
:24:41. > :24:45.once again comparatively warm temperatures and at times a fair
:24:46. > :24:49.amount of sunshine around. We have had high pressure through the
:24:49. > :24:52.course of today and we will import showers from northern France later.
:24:52. > :24:55.This low pressure will take shape slowly through tomorrow, but
:24:55. > :24:59.certainly much more as we get towards Saturday and the bulk of
:24:59. > :25:04.Sunday for that matter as well. Running them through the rest of
:25:04. > :25:09.the evening, pretty much the same as this afternoon, Variable cloud
:25:09. > :25:12.and late sunshine, and then dry conditions for good part of tonight
:25:12. > :25:16.but unfortunately showers start to appear from the south coast. Medium
:25:16. > :25:19.level cloud, not particularly heavy, a fair number moving northwards and
:25:19. > :25:24.clearing out of Gloucestershire around dawn tomorrow morning. Not
:25:24. > :25:30.nearly as Chile and night, down to two or three Celsius at some spots
:25:30. > :25:32.this morning, more like nine-10-11 Celsius by tomorrow morning. By a
:25:32. > :25:39.few of those last showers clearing out of Gloucestershire tomorrow
:25:39. > :25:41.morning it should be a largely dry start with sunny spells developing,
:25:41. > :25:45.but through the afternoon, the showers will develop through Wales
:25:45. > :25:48.and the Bristol Channel and boasted be focused in parts of
:25:48. > :25:51.Gloucestershire, and then they should be gone -- most should be
:25:51. > :25:55.focused. It should be a decent ended the day turning moderately
:25:55. > :26:00.breezy by that stage. Temperatures if anything a degree or so up on
:26:00. > :26:04.Today, 19-20 Celsius for many. The weekend are promised will be
:26:04. > :26:08.unsettled but it won't spoil things if you walk are off to Chippenham.
:26:08. > :26:13.On Saturday they have a beer and sausage Festival with local produce,
:26:13. > :26:17.I hasten to add, and expect around 15 degrees there with a breezy day
:26:17. > :26:22.and showers pushing through, some quite heavy, but all their proceeds
:26:22. > :26:26.go to charity, so do turn up if you can. The same picture for all of us
:26:26. > :26:30.through the course of Saturday. That includes the a display in the
:26:30. > :26:33.Cotswolds with the Battle of Britain a display on Saturday and
:26:33. > :26:38.Sunday afternoon, and there will be drier, bright interludes but always
:26:38. > :26:46.the chance of fairly heavy blustery showers, which could be thundery at
:26:46. > :26:51.times. Remember a pack a Mac. Sunday similar, broadly, for part
:26:51. > :26:54.of it, but high pressure starts to grow by the end of summer -- Sunday
:26:54. > :26:58.with the weather comment, so by the evening on Sunday it looks like a
:26:58. > :27:03.dryer prospects -- whether calming. Temperatures in the weekend have
:27:03. > :27:11.broadly held in the mid-teens. Monday we return to a breezy and
:27:11. > :27:16.wet set-up, likely to continue into Tuesday. Thereafter, the rest... We
:27:16. > :27:24.are in the squeeze between the two but I hope it will tend to calm
:27:24. > :27:28.down as the week goes on rather Thank you. A quick reminder if you
:27:28. > :27:33.want to watch the programme we were telling you about earlier, Young,
:27:33. > :27:39.Soldiers, it is on at 9pm on BBC three.
