:01:00. > :01:08.Doctors in Bristol saviour worried about the number of people catching
:01:08. > :01:16.measles. It has been on the rise across the country. Bristol has had

:01:26. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:31.before. Ernie Hirst has just felt well

:01:41. > :01:42.
:01:42. > :01:48.with measles. His mother thinks he contracted it from other children.
:01:48. > :01:57.He was too young to have their MMR Jack. His mother urges others to
:01:57. > :02:05.make sure children get it. He was not old enough. There are children
:02:05. > :02:11.who have not had it done but should get it done. You do not want to see
:02:11. > :02:21.your child like that. I could not pick him up. If there has been a
:02:21. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:32.rise in measles with 374 cases in 2010. In Bristol, it has been much
:02:32. > :02:37.
:02:37. > :02:45.steeper. This specialist has not seen so many cases since he started
:02:45. > :02:51.his career in the 80s. Children have been properly immunised. You
:02:51. > :02:59.need two doses of MMR. The figures show for as many as one and four
:02:59. > :03:05.have not received the two closes. The virus which has spread its
:03:05. > :03:12.through coughs and sneezes can be dangerous. It can lead to
:03:12. > :03:19.meningitis or even death. That is why this child's mother urges other
:03:19. > :03:27.parents to be protected. The doctor was saying that one in four
:03:27. > :03:33.children were not given their MMR Jag. What can be done? Apart from
:03:34. > :03:43.stories like this, he if parents are not sure, there should be a

:04:13. > :04:19.Stay with us. The House of Lords has thrown out their government's
:04:19. > :04:29.shake-up of the NHS. Down the road, there has been a challenge to the
:04:29. > :04:31.
:04:31. > :04:37.way the service is run. What has been happening? This is about the
:04:37. > :04:44.plans by NHS Gloucestershire PCT. They want to transfer her services
:04:44. > :04:54.to someone else. That would mean nine community hospitals and the
:04:54. > :04:58.
:04:58. > :05:08.county. It would be a social enterprise. The transferor would
:05:08. > :05:09.
:05:09. > :05:17.involve 3,000 NHS staff. That is the background. Why is it been at a
:05:17. > :05:25.board High Court. They have asked a judge to decide whether the plans
:05:25. > :05:33.are illegal. This is being spearheaded by 76-year-old Michael

:05:43. > :05:44.
:05:44. > :05:53.the plans are not value for money. New staff will not get a pension so
:05:53. > :06:03.better staff will not come here. It is whether the PCT is investigated
:06:03. > :06:12.properly. Michael told me that if the plans call ahead, it could mean

:07:01. > :07:10.wants that. The staff have not had the chance to have a say.
:07:10. > :07:18.Gloucestershire say this contract is right for patients. The chief

:07:33. > :07:36.
:07:36. > :07:42.that is what we campaigners do not want. How significant is this
:07:42. > :07:48.challenge? It is all happening because of this shake-up.
:07:48. > :07:58.Ironically, today we had the House of Lords throw were proposals over

:15:38. > :15:43.matter of individual rights and choice. If somebody finds life
:15:43. > :15:52.unbearable, then that has to be an option, in their opinion. The laws
:15:52. > :15:56.are there in order to protect life. The situation is this. Individual

:19:54. > :19:57.the thousands who couldn't hold back on the final whistle, invading

:20:32. > :20:40.early to settle any nerves. But they could have been more
:20:40. > :20:44.comfortable creating chances to put Barnet away. By the time their
:20:44. > :20:47.opponents had a man sent off with four minutes left to play, victory
:20:47. > :20:50.and Wembley was already on the minds of the home supporters. They

:22:05. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:14.and Crawley have replaced them at the top of the table.
:22:14. > :22:16.Now then, how's this for an amazing story of survival against the odds?
:22:16. > :22:19.A rare lizard is recovering in Somerset after surviving a 3,000
:22:19. > :22:21.mile flight from Cape Verde Islands off West Africa, then a full

:22:24. > :22:32.was certainly surprised to find her stowaway when she went to hang up

:22:36. > :22:39.looking in remarkably good condition considering what happened.
:22:39. > :22:47.He is doing rather well in his new home, the Tropiquaria Wildlife Park
:22:47. > :22:50.in West Somerset, seemingly no worse for his traumatic ordeal. He
:22:50. > :22:57.may only be six inches long, but make no mistake Larry is, well,
:22:57. > :23:01.almost indestructible. I am quite amazed he is alive because he did
:23:01. > :23:04.3,000 bales in the hold of any aircraft and that they did not put
:23:04. > :23:08.the heat on, I would expect you to freeze to death in there. He has
:23:08. > :23:12.also had a trip around a washing machine on a delicate wash. We're
:23:12. > :23:14.very relieved that he was at a hot wash, because he would have
:23:14. > :23:17.probably come out looking like a sausage.
:23:17. > :23:20.But just imagine the surprise of Sue Banwell-Moore. After returning
:23:20. > :23:26.to Somerset from her holiday in the Cape Verde islands, she loaded her
:23:26. > :23:35.washing machine. But it wasn't just the smalls that got a short spin.
:23:35. > :23:45.At the end of it all, out popped Larry, clean but barely alive.
:23:45. > :23:49.
:23:49. > :23:52.Shock, horror. I let it a little scream. -- I let out. I was shocked.
:23:52. > :23:56.As doubtless was Larry. This particular lizard can only be found
:23:56. > :23:59.on Cape Verde, islands off the coast of West Africa. And Larry is
:23:59. > :24:02.thought to be the first to visit England, albeit unwittingly. It is
:24:02. > :24:12.unlikely he will make it back now, but then West Somerset is a popular
:24:12. > :24:23.
:24:23. > :24:26.retirement spot. It is looking increasingly likely
:24:27. > :24:31.that we will see a spell of snow by the end of Thursday, but more
:24:31. > :24:35.particularly overnight into Friday. For the time being, separated
:24:35. > :24:39.tonight and a good part of tomorrow, it is the continuation of the team.
:24:39. > :24:43.It -- a good deal of cloud around and remaining pretty cold as well.
:24:43. > :24:51.The threat of snow starts to materialise once we are at the end
:24:51. > :24:55.of Thursday and overnight in to tidy -- Friday morning. If you're
:24:55. > :25:02.wanting to follow the forecast away from local radio or television, I

:25:22. > :25:28.straight into the early hours of Friday morning, to give you an idea
:25:28. > :25:32.how we see rainfall discriminated against snowfall. The snowfall is
:25:32. > :25:36.more likely to be focused on our region rather than elsewhere. It is
:25:36. > :25:40.complicated because the run through this front is coming down for the
:25:40. > :25:43.south-west, the prevailing wind is coming from the south-west, so it
:25:43. > :25:47.is almost in opposite directions. This is a we estimate things will
:25:47. > :25:57.work out. Tonight is fairly straightforward. It will be fog
:25:57. > :26:02.
:26:02. > :26:11.three again. -- free. It should not be as cold as last night. Tomorrow
:26:11. > :26:19.morning, we'll start on a note -- of that note. Some hints of
