Good evening. And jumping the number of children with measles. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Doctors warn of illness if parents turn down vaccinations. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Having his day in court, the campaigner fighting changes to the | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
NHS. Swindon fans jumping for joy as | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
Paolo de Canio gets them to Wembley. That would make me proud. It is | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
incredible. Up a biological wash, how a lizard | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
survived the jungle and a Sunderland spin dry. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Doctors in Bristol saviour worried about the number of people catching | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
measles. It has been on the rise across the country. Bristol has had | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
a very sharp increase. Last year, six times contracted it as the year | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
:01:26. | :01:26. | ||
before. Ernie Hirst has just felt well | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
enough to play with his toys. It is a month since he was struck down | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
:01:41. | :01:42. | ||
with measles. His mother thinks he contracted it from other children. | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
He was too young to have their MMR Jack. His mother urges others to | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
make sure children get it. He was not old enough. There are children | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
who have not had it done but should get it done. You do not want to see | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
your child like that. I could not pick him up. If there has been a | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
:02:21. | :02:22. | ||
rise in measles with 374 cases in 2010. In Bristol, it has been much | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
:02:32. | :02:37. | ||
steeper. This specialist has not seen so many cases since he started | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
his career in the 80s. Children have been properly immunised. You | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
need two doses of MMR. The figures show for as many as one and four | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
have not received the two closes. The virus which has spread its | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
through coughs and sneezes can be dangerous. It can lead to | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
meningitis or even death. That is why this child's mother urges other | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
parents to be protected. The doctor was saying that one in four | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
children were not given their MMR Jag. What can be done? Apart from | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
stories like this, he if parents are not sure, there should be a | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
:03:44. | :03:46. | ||
record if witches given after a child is discharged. I had measles | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
and I remember it being nasty. Runners through the symptoms. | :03:54. | :04:04. | |
:04:04. | :04:13. | ||
Stay with us. The House of Lords has thrown out their government's | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
shake-up of the NHS. Down the road, there has been a challenge to the | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
:04:29. | :04:31. | ||
way the service is run. What has been happening? This is about the | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
plans by NHS Gloucestershire PCT. They want to transfer her services | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
to someone else. That would mean nine community hospitals and the | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
:04:54. | :04:58. | ||
county. It would be a social enterprise. The transferor would | :04:58. | :05:08. | |
:05:08. | :05:09. | ||
involve 3,000 NHS staff. That is the background. Why is it been at a | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
board High Court. They have asked a judge to decide whether the plans | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
are illegal. This is being spearheaded by 76-year-old Michael | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
Lloyd from Stroud. He uses health services. To his lawyers argue that | :05:33. | :05:43. | |
:05:43. | :05:44. | ||
the plans are not value for money. New staff will not get a pension so | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
better staff will not come here. It is whether the PCT is investigated | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
properly. Michael told me that if the plans call ahead, it could mean | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
the privatisation of the NHS. may end up with a set-up not unlike | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
:06:22. | :06:23. | ||
the United States. You must have insurance. Michael has been backed | :06:23. | :06:32. | |
by local health campaigners. Their NHS in Gloucestershire is allegedly | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
:06:42. | :06:43. | ||
not being transparent enough. have not Hanson in questions. They | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
will be liable for VAT. This money will come of patient care. No one | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
:07:00. | :07:01. | ||
wants that. The staff have not had the chance to have a say. | :07:01. | :07:10. | |
Gloucestershire say this contract is right for patients. The chief | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
executive says if the challenge is successful, it could backfire | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
because it could compromise services. At a private company wins, | :07:23. | :07:33. | |
:07:33. | :07:36. | ||
that is what we campaigners do not want. How significant is this | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
challenge? It is all happening because of this shake-up. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
Ironically, today we had the House of Lords throw were proposals over | :07:48. | :07:58. | |
:07:58. | :07:58. | ||
mental health issues. This is unprecedented. Staffer feeling | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
their conditions are preserved under the social enterprise. If it | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
does not work out, it can be taken over by a private company. They may | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
lose their conditions. What happens in the Lords? This is happening | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
:08:28. | :08:28. | ||
because of the proposals. The mayor of police mac has told a | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
court he wants a full trial for refusing to fill in his census form. | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
If alongside him, and 84-year-old peace campaigner found guilty and | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
fined. He arrived to the sound of support. | :08:48. | :08:57. | |
John Marjoram, 10 times in the a Rob Stroud. Forms went out to | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
everyone. It was compulsory. The information is used by the | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
Government. A some objected to the firm employed to carry it out, | :09:09. | :09:18. | |
Lockheed Martin. It is better known for her arms. John Marjoram pleaded | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
guilty -- not guilty. Another campaigner Roger Franklin refused | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
to enter a plea. He was found guilty and ordered to pay 460 pence. | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
They emerged defiant. For his opposition to the military has seen | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
him jailed. He refused to pay his fine and will go to prison. | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
last time I wasn't, I was in my 70s. It was not nice but I do not get | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
claustrophobic so why can manage it. He told supporters he will fight on. | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
I am determined. They used financial aspects. If I want my | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
witnesses there. I am prepared to do that. He'll be back at the end | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:29. | ||
of May. Thank you for joining us. Still to come, all in a spin, the | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
little lizard who flew in from the Atlantic by mistake and found | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
himself in a lather. In weather news, it is a call story | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
:10:49. | :10:52. | ||
tonight and for much of tomorrow. We have the threat of snow. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
Police in Bristol have charged two more men in connection with the | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
murder of Rico Gordon. After the 21-year-old was shot dead on | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
Stapleton Road. Tafari Adams and Sean Youngsam were charged with | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
:11:19. | :11:20. | ||
assisting offenders.? Men have already been charged with murder. | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
We have a range of CCTV images. I want to draw attention to six | :11:26. | :11:36. | |
:11:36. | :11:36. | ||
images of women than -- or amend on that website. There? Imogen's of | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
:11:46. | :11:47. | ||
two men at the critical time. I think these people have information. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
For more than 100 workers at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
will go on strike over claims of harassment. They claim they have | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
The family of a severely disabled man from Wiltshire have been back | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
in the High Court today, arguing that he should be allowed to try | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
and change the law on so called mercy killings. Following a stroke | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
in 2005, Tony Nicklinson from Melksham is paralysed from the neck | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
down and dependent on carers. He wants the law changed so someone | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
else could end his life without fear of prosecution. Here's Sarah- | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
Jane Bungay. Like most people, I did it give | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
suicide of thought, despite being able to do it legally. Then I had a | :12:40. | :12:49. | |
stroke and their choice of life-or- death was taken away from me. Tony | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
Nicklinson Cant Tocher, but his thoughts on quality of life are | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
clear. Sometimes, I break down and cry. I | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
cannot move to make myself comfortable. By have to eat baby | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
food because I cannot do. Prior to his stroke, Tony left than exciting, | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
fulfilled life. Now he says his dignity is gone, his days dull and | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
intolerable. In an ambitious attempt to listen that the laws on | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
the right to die, his family have lodged a legal challenge, needing a | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
daughter would be able to end his life without being charged for | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
murder. Tawney deserves the same rights as anybody else. You or I | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
could go out and take her own life, he cannot. That right was taken | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
away from him in 2005, when he had the stroke. The Ministry of Justice | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
has asked a judge to strike out the legal action, arguing only | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Parliament could properly put into place a system with appropriate | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
safeguards and conditions. Today, the family's lawyers have argued | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
back, saying the court should consider Tony Pat's -- Tory's | :13:53. | :14:03. | |
:14:03. | :14:04. | ||
wishes. -- Tony's wishes. It is not nice to have to publicly say to | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
everyone that he wanted that to die or do to support your father's wish | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
to die. A but we're a family and we want to do this together. Tony's | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
case provokes support from either side of the argument. -- provokes | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
arguments from both sides of the debate. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Let's talk now to Andrea Williams, from the organisation Christian | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
Concern. It is worried about any change to the law as it stands. The | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
story is sad and their tight family unit. Why is it your business or | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:51. | ||
the state's, whether he lives or die. -- lives or dies. What his | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
players are seeking to do is to we can do murder act. The murder act | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
is there in order to protect the most vulnerable in society. It is | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
in order to ensure that we didn't tell one another. Many people are | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
extremely vulnerable who are in very disabled situations. They | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
would obviously have to be safeguards. The situation is this. | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
And no safeguards were properly ensure that the most vulnerable, | :15:16. | :15:25. | |
the weakest, were prevented it from perhaps somebody who had Ottavia, | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
negative motives with regard to them. The that will always be the | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
case in life. There will always be bad people out there. Is it not a | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
matter of individual rights and choice. If somebody finds life | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
unbearable, then that has to be an option, in their opinion. The laws | :15:43. | :15:52. | |
are there in order to protect life. The situation is this. Individual | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
choice sometimes has to be limited for the common good of all, in | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
order to protect the weakest, in order to protect the vulnerable. | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
But it is his life. Yes, but there are many other people and | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
situations like this but do not want to see this -- that do know | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
what to see the law begin. If it is weakened, they might live in fear | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
of what could happen to them. Nobody could properly protect them | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
from somebody who might want to do harm to them. Thank you for joining | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
Protestors who spent the night up a tree on the site of the proposed | :16:26. | :16:35. | |
Hinkley C reactor in Somerset have come down. The three men were | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
protesting against nuclear energy and the future clearance of a small | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
area of woodland by the company EDF. All three came down voluntarily | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
after police and a climbing team moved onto the area. | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Now, I'm sure you have heard of the song Oh Danny Boy, but did you know | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
that it was originally made famous by the Bristol opera singer Elsie | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
Griffin? She was an international star of | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
the 1930s but came from humble beginnings. Today, children at the | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
school she attended almost a century ago have been celebrating | :17:09. | :17:18. | |
her life. Tracey Miller was there. A soprano of international fame. | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
She introduced -- entertain the troops of World War One and won | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
awards for her recording career. This is where she started out, the | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
school at the heart of Bristol. There are children walking in her | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
footsteps, celebrating her life. Unveiling a blue plaque to remember | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
the story of the girl who had talent and a dream. She was amazing. | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
She started off, she had a good job and then she started getting really | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
famous and got lots of money. She did not at: X Factor. She worked | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:05. | ||
for it. While working for fries as I ate chocolate Packer, she was | :18:05. | :18:15. | |
:18:15. | :18:27. | ||
known for her singing. -- Fry's. She was really good at singing. | :18:27. | :18:36. | |
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling. She was given the | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
Somme and the she took it and make did famous -- shoes given the song | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
into ticket and made it famous. became the principal soprano at an | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
opera company and the star performer at the Gilbert and | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
Sullivan operas. But it is the sum but she is most famous for. -- of | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
this song. She must have some here so many times and I am sure she | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
would have been very proud to have heard them. I Bristol girl who | :19:06. | :19:16. | |
:19:16. | :19:19. | ||
became a star through talent and It is a lovely tune. It always | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
brings a tear to the eye. Football, and Swindon Town's fans | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
are planning for Wembley again. Their side beat Barnet to win their | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Johnstone's Paint Trophy Area final last night. Manager Paolo Di Canio | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
described it as a special moment. And the club have been allocated | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
more than 36,000 tickets for next month's final against Chesterfield. | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
Alistair Durden reports. He's going to Wembley. And so are | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
the thousands who couldn't hold back on the final whistle, invading | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
the County Ground pitch. After too many disappointments in the last 18 | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
months, life at Swindon just keeps getting better. The we're going to | :20:07. | :20:16. | |
win it, obviously! I do not see any reason why we cannot win it. | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
just want to kiss hello, I've got an! -- Paolo. Swindon were heavy | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
favourites to progress, and didn't disappoint. Alan Connell scoring | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
early to settle any nerves. But they could have been more | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
comfortable creating chances to put Barnet away. By the time their | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
opponents had a man sent off with four minutes left to play, victory | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
and Wembley was already on the minds of the home supporters. They | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
had five minutes of injury time to endure. Even Paolo Di Canio looked | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
nervous. But finally the whistle, and the massive celebration began. | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
The Italian will now lead his side out at Wembley next month, | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
:21:08. | :21:12. | ||
something he never managed as a player. Every time, I had hoped to | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
go there, it never happened. Now at my club has the chance to go, so | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
that makes me proud and happy. It also makes me think how incredible | :21:26. | :21:35. | |
is that the life. -- the life. appointment was described as a risk | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
last summer, but it's paying massive dividends. Swindon have a | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
chance to finish the season with a league and cup double. | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
Cheltenham have been knocked off top spot in League Two. They took | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
the lead away at Crawley with a goal from defender Luke Garbett. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
But then the home side took control of the match, scoring four of their | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
own. Cheltenham did manage another goal before the end, but lost 4-2, | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
:22:05. | :22:10. | ||
and Crawley have replaced them at the top of the table. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
Now then, how's this for an amazing story of survival against the odds? | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
A rare lizard is recovering in Somerset after surviving a 3,000 | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
mile flight from Cape Verde Islands off West Africa, then a full | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
washing machine cycle. Company director Sue Banwell-Moore | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
was certainly surprised to find her stowaway when she went to hang up | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
her washing after her holiday. Clinton Rogers has the story. | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
looking in remarkably good condition considering what happened. | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
He is doing rather well in his new home, the Tropiquaria Wildlife Park | :22:39. | :22:47. | |
in West Somerset, seemingly no worse for his traumatic ordeal. He | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
may only be six inches long, but make no mistake Larry is, well, | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
almost indestructible. I am quite amazed he is alive because he did | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
3,000 bales in the hold of any aircraft and that they did not put | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
the heat on, I would expect you to freeze to death in there. He has | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
also had a trip around a washing machine on a delicate wash. We're | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
very relieved that he was at a hot wash, because he would have | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
probably come out looking like a sausage. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
But just imagine the surprise of Sue Banwell-Moore. After returning | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
to Somerset from her holiday in the Cape Verde islands, she loaded her | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
washing machine. But it wasn't just the smalls that got a short spin. | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
At the end of it all, out popped Larry, clean but barely alive. | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
:23:45. | :23:49. | ||
Shock, horror. I let it a little scream. -- I let out. I was shocked. | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
As doubtless was Larry. This particular lizard can only be found | :23:52. | :23:56. | |

how we see rainfall discriminated against snowfall. The snowfall is | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
more likely to be focused on our region rather than elsewhere. It is | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
