Welcome to BBC Points West. Specialist sniffer dogs joined the

search for a Kate Prout. As the hunt intensified his for the woman

murdered by her husband, we speak to the man whose lie-detector test

test. That he just smiled. explosion at a hospital intensive

you see some of the old boys with their medals on clapping us. It is

overwhelming. And it is called the icicle of death, but how did the

frozen planet's team get these amazing pictures? Specialist

sniffer dogs were brought in today as the search intensified to find

the Gloucestershire woman murdered by her husband four years ago.

Adrian Prout had always denied killing his wife.

But a lie-detector test exposed his guilty secret.

After three days of intense searching, still nothing. Police

today widened their search beyond where Adrian Prout told them he

buried his wife. Specialist sniffer dogs had been here all day and will

be back tomorrow. The search was also assisted from the air as a

forensic expert in body deposition surveyed the woodland by helicopter.

This operation is a result of the work of this man. Dawn Cargill

forced Adrian Prout to tell the truth by proving he was lying.

did the test and I ran the charts three times. At the end of it I

said, I am sorry, you have failed the tests and I am looking at a

murderer. And he just smiled. I said, are you saying my test is it

wrong? He said no, I am not saying you test is wrong. The sensitive

polygraph equipment measures tiny changes in heart rate, breathing,

blood rate and sweat. It took just three simple but vital questions to

prove Adrian Prout's killed. Did you kill your wife or did you hire

anyone to do so. Do you know where the body of your wife is? When you

fill a polygraph test, you fail the lot. Lie-detector tests are not

admissible in court at the moment which is why police do not use them

during an investigation. But dawn Cargill is relieved that he has

been able to uncover the truth. first reaction was relief.

Hopefully it will lead to the body being discovered and everyone

cannot move on. It was terrible, it was a shock to me. Back at red

Mailey the son set on another day of searching. As it did so, more

equipment arrived, may be a sign that the operation is entering a

more critical phase. A man from Gloucestershire who

broke reporting restrictions and treated about Vincent Tabak's use

of a violent pornography will not face prosecution. The Tweed was

sent to a journalist during the Jo Yeates's murder trial. It has been

decided not to pursue the case because the man involved co-

operated. A hospital patient is being treated

for burns after an explosion in an intensive care ward at Bath Royal

United Hospital. 11 patients had to be moved after a not so good --

oxygen cylinder blow up and there was a small fire.

Re intensive care unit at the Royal Hospital in Bath. Last night, 12 of

their 40 patients were being cared for it here. Just after 8pm, the

sound of the machines was replaced by what the hospital is calling a

small fire. Staff moved in to help move the patients out.

Unfortunately one patient received burns to their legs. We continue to

look after the other 11 areas of the hospital. Three other patients

were transferred to intensive care unit of the Bristol Royal Infirmary.

The fire seemed to come from an oxygen tank. The scorching it was

limited to one Bay, but of course there's the smell of the smoke

around the place. Throughout the day, staff have been working to try

and reopen the unit, get it all clean and ready for patients to

move back a him. We have five patients curly being looked after

in our theatre recovery area which we are using as a temporary

intensive care unit. We have at the potential of patients coming into a

hospital at any time and we might need intensive care facilities for

them. The patients most in need of those facilities should be moved

back in this evening. The one patient who suffered burns to their

leg is said to be in a serious but stable condition.

It is her will and Alex with a Coming up before 7pm, a shirt for

every life lost. A poignant reminder of the consequences of

domestic violence. It is Bath City's big night as they

All that to comes. First, a man has been sentenced to life in prison

for the murder of a young father in Bristol. Stephen Vice lost control

after his former girlfriend left him for Wayne Brown. He hunted

Wayne Brown down and repeatedly stabbed him in the street. Wayne

Brown had everything to live for, he was the father of a toddler and

loved by his family. There are 25- year-old was stabbed in his chest

and died almost immediately in January.

He was a lovely, quiet, homely man. They'd ruin the family. He was

unarmed when Stephen Vice went looking for him. Stephen Vice could

not get over the break-up with his former girlfriend who had begun a

relationship with Wayne Brown. After an evening's Rick -- drinking

he started a fight. He was told he would have to serve

a minimum of 21 years before applying to the Parole Board. The

judge told him, you are a volatile young man, especially when you have

been drinking. You have deprived a family of a father. If you are

young man and you carry a knife as a weapon you are a coward. You'll

be caught and you will go to prisons for a long times.

Stephen Vice begins his sentence, he knows he will be at least 47

years old before he is released. 104 shirts and T-shirts have been

hung up in north Somerset to highlight the number of women

killed as a result of domestic violence in this country every year.

The statement was made as part of an international week of action and

in Weston-super-Mare today there were also moving stories of courage.

104 T shirts representing 104 are women no longer here because of

domestic violence. Tracey could have been one of them. In April she

was attacked by her boyfriend of four years. He started beating me,

hitting me, he pushed me to the ground. Fractured ribs, fractured

cheekbone, I lost hearing. When I was on the ground and screaming and

crying for help, he said to me I am going to go and get that sort and

kill you. When she fled the house, her neighbour felt duty bound to

help. After helping Tracey escape, her partner turned on him.

picked me up, threw me on the ground and jumped on my leg three

or four times severely smashing it. I tried to stand up and I could not.

Than Labour picked me up and took me back to the house. I ended up in

hospital for a month. My bathroom it looked like a scene from a

horror movie. It took me one hour to clean it up. I cannot believe

someone could do that tower human being. Then to go and do that to my

partner in front of me... I am very proud to give this award to you.

Despite his injuries, Stevens says he would do it all again. If you

feel vulnerable and threatened and the situation seems too much, that

is a personal choice, but step in if you can. Her ex-partner is now

behind bars and she has moved away from the area. Stephen still

worries about leaving the house, but both hope the fact they are

still at here will help other women before it is too late.

A Bristol MPs says any Member of Parliament who switches parties

must face immediate re-election. Chris give more or introduced a

Bill in the House of Commons today which, if passed, would mean a by-

election would be triggered when an MP defects to a rival party. He

says the rule change is long overdue. The widow of a Somerset

Royal Marine killed in Afghanistan has welcomed an apparent government

U-turn on plans to reform the inquest system in this country.

Justice Secretary Ken Clarke was set to scrap the new role of Chief

Coroner, but there's been a last minute change of heart as Clinton

Rogers reports. As a war widow Kirianne Curley had

been at the forefront of a campaign to save the role of Chief Coroner.

Her husband Stephen a corporal with 40 Comamndo was killed in

Afghanistan last year. She says inquests across the country vary so

much a national head is needed to streamline the process, make it

more consistent and less traumatic. They look for the inquest to

provide some closure for the families. However it is such a

harrowing process, and such a difficult process to go through, I

think we are a long way off to getting any closure, even following

the inquest itself. The British Legion had also fought the plans to

scrap the role of Chief Coroner, created in 2009 but never filled.

Kirianne wrote a direct letter to the Prime Minister pleading for him

to intervene and late yesterday the Justice Secretary backed down, but

not entirely. The chief coroner won't have power to hear appeals

from people unhappy at an inquest verdict. The devil is always in the

detail with these things. It is important that the chief coroner is

given the powers that be and that there is the right to appeal except

trusts. Kirianne says she fought this

campaign to honour the memory of her husband and to make future

military inquests in particular better for others in her situation.

Clinton Rogers BBC Spotlight Exeter. Today, thousands of people lined

the streets of Bath as a Wiltshire Regiment were given the freedom of

the city. The 21st Signal Regiment returned from a six-month

deployment of from Afghanistan last Exercising their right to march

through the streets of Bath. There could be little doubt of the

crowd's affection and gratitude for the servicemen and women for Alsop

it has been outstanding. Some of us thought people in Bath did not even

know there was a regiment up the road. The public came out this

morning. It is slightly overwhelming, especially when you

see some of the old boys with their medals on. The they were in World

Earlier, at a Service of Thanksgiving, the commanding

officer paid tribute not just to his troops, but also to their

families, who he said had shown patience and fortitude during

period of uncertainty. We are away aloft on training, and then once we

are aware, -- a way, there is certain uncertainty, for the young

soldiers, the families and the parents of the young soldiers.

Helmand province, the regiments supplied communication networks, as

well as protecting and transporting troops. They also found time to

make new friends and support a run- down school in Kabul. An air of

anticipation, for some of these families it is the first time they

get to see their families since their return. Many have found

separation hard. Every time something came on at the television

about Afghanistan, your ears would prick up and they would say, the

families have been told. You would think, that is not me. But then you

would think about the people who it did happen to. I said my prayers

for him every night, and he came home safely. Hard, I had Tristan

and died live on my own. But my family supported me. A small trip

from this regiment remain in Afghanistan. For these men and

women, there will be some time off and, more importantly, a family

Christmas at home, rather than Certainly a day for them to

remember. In rugby, Bath's Lewis Moody has

been accused of leading a player revolt over pay, before the World

Cup in a number of leaked report into England's disappointing

performance. The details were published by the Times newspaper

today. It accuses some senior players of being focused on money

rather than rugby, while mock the younger members of the squad for

trading well. Moody, England captain in New Zealand, responded

in a statement saying that he had led the team to the best of his

ability. Earlier, I spoke to the former England international and

Bristol player Alastair Hignell, who now lives near Brighton. I

began by asking for his reaction to the leaked reports. In the first

place, I am not at all surprised there has been a leak from

Twickenham or from anything to do with the Rugby Union. Throughout

the last year, there have been more leaks coming out of Twickenham than

anybody can keep up with. I am not surprised they have been leaked. I

am a little bit shocked at the language used by some of the

players, revealing that they do not get on with each other, perhaps

they have forgotten what they started playing rugby for in the

first place. They do not trust their coaches and, above all, there

seems to be a power vacuum at the top of rugby which makes them very,

very concerned. In rugby, unfortunately, there is a saying.

It doesn't matter who wins or loses, but how you place the blame. It

seems like the players and everybody else involved in the

reports are doing just that. person who seems to be coming in

for a bit of blame and criticism is Lewis Moody. He is being accused of

putting commercialism first, the money before the England shirt.

What do you think of that? He is also accused of playing old school

rugby, encouraging their lads into drinking games and the rest of it.

I don't suppose the critics can have it both ways. I can see from

his point of view. Maybe all of the players are now surrounded by their

agents, perhaps the agents as saying that the paydays are running

out. He is about to retire, about time to get money to feather their

nests. Unfortunately, the players were too close to their agents,

perhaps. In future World Cups, I think they will make sure there is

not quite such a close bond, particularly in an event like that.

What will happen at the top of rugby union to deal with this kind

of behaviour? Well, the sad thing is that there is such a power

vacuum at the top that you can look at these reports and say, well, who

it will take action? Who are they being written for and who will take

action on them? That is the saddest thing. At the moment, everything is

operating in a vacuum at the top. The players feel free to chuck mud

around and make sure that not too much of it sticks on them for

whatever happens in future. Mike Tindall was hit with a huge fine.

He is appealing against it. Do you think he has a chance of it being

reduced? I think he will get it reduced, almost certainly. It does

seem totally out of proportion. The feeling is that at some point

Martin Johnson should have stepped in immediately after the event. Now

it seems far too late, far too heavy a fine. I don't think he will

get back into the England set-up, but I don't think he will pay as

bit of a fine. Football, and non-League club Bath

City have home advantage tonight as they try to create an FA Cup upset.

They will play in League Two strugglers Dagenham and Redbridge

in a first-round replay, live on television. The game kicks off in

about 30 minutes. Alastair is at the ground now. It is a seven-point

15 staff tonight, rather unusually. Not that Bath City are complaining,

because that television coverage has earned them �37,500. There is

more available in prize-money if they win the tie. The players

warming up are not really interested in the mathematics. For

them, it is the chance of a bit of glory. The opportunity to knock out

a club from the Football League and leave their mark on the FA Cup

history. That is why the TV cameras are here, that is why the fans are

here. Is it going to happen? certainly will do. Why?

football we have been playing this season, we do not deserve to be

where we are. Tonight it will be totally different. You fancy a

shock? More than one. Every time I come over here, most home matches,

and only seen two goals for the home side. It is about time they

got three or four. If let's hope you are right. Let's see if we can

get a word with the manager. He is just watching his players warm-up.

About 20 minutes until kick-off. Have you got some Churchill-style

speech for the players? I think that was made last night. I think

they are prepared. We are very much looking forward to the game. We

know a bit about the opposition, we have had a look at the DVD of the

first game. Hopefully we will be organised. We would just have to

wait and see what happens. Cash and Glory? I think I said before, it is

so important to the club. For the moment, we have crossed the line

and we are ready for the game. Now it is about the glory, I guess. The

lads are looking forward to it, it is a big night, the cameras are

here. Can we go one round further? We hope so. Our football experts

Geoff is here. He played for Bristol Rovers, here, not much fun

for a visiting team? It looks like they've got more bulbs in the

floodlights. There is a slow bonnet, on the right-hand side, it can be

difficult to deal with. It is up to the Bath City fans to get behind

the team and make it a hostile place. Geoff is here for BBC local

radio tonight. If you are in any doubt as to who is going to win

this game, listen to these guys! Such two mixed messages, I wasn't

sure what he meant. A bizarre underwater icicle of

death has been caught on camera for the first time and will be shown

tonight in the latest episode of The Frozen Planet. The phenomenon

was filmed for the BBC series, made by the National History Unit in

Bristol. Using time-lapse cameras, the programme shows the icicle meet

in the sea bed and beware of ice forms -- beware of ice forming,

freezing everything it touches. Joining us to tell us about it are

the camera men who made the TV first happened. And you very much

for coming in. Why were you so keen to capture this? I think it is

something that we have seen before. We thought, wouldn't it be

wonderful? It looks extraordinary. It was also extremely unlikely, to

try to get something like that on film. That drove us, and the

producer, to really strive to get that shot. We will see it in a

second. Is that what you were planning for committee habit-

forming and see the results? -- planning for, to see it for men and

see the results? It was our greatest hope. It was extremely

difficult. It was a lot of kit to operate in a difficult place. Lots

of cables and lights everywhere. It is like a studio set up. You only

have limited time, with the air and the cold, to actually complete that

set up. You do have to remind yourselves it is under water. The

visibility is so good. If we look at it, I think it will make it

clear for everybody. If you can take us through what we are seeing

and some of the equipment that you needed? Well, it is not a special

effect. It is really real. At the moment, there are two cameras

getting the two shots. They are happening at the same time, from

two different cameras. There are four lights lighting it up, because

it is extremely dark. Each picture takes a long time to take, as well.

How long is that sequence? Hours compressed into a minute? I suspect

it is about two hours from the last three feet of it before it hits the

sea bed and then forms that kind of river of ice that freezes

everything. Look at that, just incredible. The fact that some of

the starfish are trying to crawl over it and just get stuck in it?

You were actually down there, they are not remote cameras. How cold

was it? Really cold. Minus temperatures, you put some water

down there and it freezes solid. Are we going to see you in the

making of as well? No, I don't think so. In that case, our viewers

got one of the extras! Good work, It's not that cold out there, but

he wouldn't think it. I'll stick with the Red Sea, thank

you very much. It was a chilly start this morning. We had quite a

few districts in the countryside at freezing or just below. Certainly a

touch of frost and some fog out there. By contrast, we are not

going to be as cold tonight. Tomorrow will be a fairly mild day

and it will be dry from start to finish, with some sunny spells

developing. We start with the weather stuck in a rut, with a

south-easterly flow and very little chance of seeing any rain for a

while until we get through to later on Thursday night. By contrast,

looking up to the north-west, that deep area of low pressure means

that any trawler out tomorrow evening is going to have quite a

time, with hurricane force rains -- wind out there. For us,

comparatively benign by contrast. There is a chance we might get the

temperatures going low enough to reach the fog points. Elsewhere, it

is a competition of cloud cover. A lot of high cloud around, and by

tomorrow morning temperatures are between six to eight Celsius. Not

as cold as last night. Tomorrow we will start with a good deal of

cloud about. Divot time, a lot of that will start to be nibbled away.

By midday, a decent day for all of us. Variable amounts of cloud.

Notice how the wind speed is picking up. It is in Crete --

increasing to the afternoon. Gusts of 25-35 mph. Temperatures between

11 and 13 Celsius. You saw a hint of some rain to the north-west.

That is the cold front here that is going to slip through tonight,

Thursday to Friday. Those squally winds are out of the way by

daybreak on Friday. Saturday looks like a decent day. Light rain

coming our way over Saturday and Sunday. Then breezy conditions for

Sunday itself. We are still expecting it to turn cooler next

That is it from us. If you do want to watch The Frozen Planet, if you
