Good evening and welcome to BBC Our headlines tonight: It's not | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC to talk — many drivers are still | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
using their mobile phones but the police have almost halved the number | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
Nick Clegg on Hinkley Point — he says it will only go ahead if the | :00:27. | :00:36. | |
We've got to make sure that the interests of the British taxpayer | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
are protected so they are not want industry. That is the commitment we | :00:40. | :00:50. | |

Good evening. The number of fixed penalty tickets issued by the police | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
for driving when you are on the phone has fallen by almost 50%. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |

for driving when you are on the because they're winning the war | :01:15. | :01:16. | |

the law even though it can lead are far too many motorists who flout | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
Stop for a minute by the side of any road in the West and it won't be too | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
long before you see drivers breaking the law. Talking or texting on their | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
mobiles. It's something that dismays anniversary of the death of her | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
11—year—old daughter Rebekka. She was knocked over on the pavement and | :01:45. | :01:48. | |

had only left home five minutes before then decided to phone back to | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
his girlfriend. There was no need for it. He was only on his way to | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
the golf club. He could have waited So is the situation getting better | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
That's quite a drop in figures, The police say that driver behaviour | :02:13. | :02:50. | |

won't happen to them but it does. And if road safety alone is not | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
enough of deterrent. The fine for driving while using a hand—held | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
phone rose this summer to £100. This has really struck a chord with | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
many of you and we've had a deluge of emails and comments on Facebook. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
We'll have some of your comments later in the programme if we time. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
A man's died in a fire at a bungalow in Taunton. Firefighters were called | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
to Pikes Crescent in the early hours of yesterday morning. The man was | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
pronounced dead at the scene. A woman was also taken to Musgrove | :04:14. | :04:18. | |

They're against the possibility an angry reception to the Health | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
Weston General Hospital being run by organisations, including private | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
companies and local NHS Trusts have expressed an interest in running | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
The message to the Health Secretary couldn't be clearer. Campaigners in | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Weston—super—Mare are against the idea of Weston General Hospital | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
being managed by a private company. We are very worried about the way | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
hospitals are being privatised. There is no way that a private | :05:03. | :05:07. | |

same way as it hospital run by the Over the next two to three years the | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Government wants all NHS Trusts Over the next two to three years the | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
become Foundation Trusts but, for a clinically small as Weston, it's | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
unlikely to be awarded so other options are being considered such as | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
it being acquired or merged with an existing NHS Trust or the management | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
being run by a charity, an NHS organisation, a social enterprise or | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
a private company. No proposals organisation, a social enterprise or | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
even yet been submitted to the Trust Development Authority which will | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
eventually decide on the management There are examples in other parts of | :05:41. | :05:52. | |
contractors are giving outstanding care but no decision has been taken | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
and it may well be that we decided to have an NHS hospital as party. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
But it's the mere suggestion of to have an NHS hospital as party. | :06:02. | :06:08. | |

out Mr Hunt avoided them and their I'm disappointed he decided to sneak | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
in the back because he's maybe not as proud of his policies as he | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
says. It is about having an open dialogue. We do not believe that | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
private companies running the NHS is Whatever happens Weston General | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
private companies running the NHS is remain an NHS Hospital. But with no | :06:32. | :06:36. | |

The Deputy Prime Minister has told the BBC the Government won't be | :06:45. | :06:49. | |

some party faithful that they were losing their way in the coalition. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
It should have been much more of a business relationship rather than | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
looking like a merger. That is what I'd like to like. We need to join up | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
social care and the health service so that the funds are not cut off. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
People do need help and I would so that the funds are not cut off. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |

Today our correspondent Clinton Rogers quizzed the Deputy Prime | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Minister on topics from nuclear But he began by asking Mr Clegg | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
Minister on topics from nuclear his party was now squandering the | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
legacy left by Paddy Ashdown. He certainly doesn't agree with you. | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
The coalition makes him immensely proud. I work hand in glove with | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Paddy Ashdown and appointed him proud. I work hand in glove with | :08:00. | :08:13. | |

course we can do better and bounce back but the key thing was that | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
course we can do better and bounce was right to step up to the plate, | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
get our hands dirty and prepare was right to step up to the plate, | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
the rescue of the British economy. I believe without those actions the | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
economy would not be in recovery and I'm very proud of that. We have | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
economy would not be in recovery and Democrats, your key supporters in | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
the West Country. Let me play you Get across that we are different and | :08:47. | :09:01. | |
we've always had different stances. It is that sort of feeling and | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
approach that we got to recreate. supporters. Others have said that | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
you have lost the plot, one saying you have lost support in the West | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Country. If I could just get a word in edge ways, I strongly agree. | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
We are completely different in so many respects to the Conservatives. | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
He knows and I know that if the Conservatives were in power on their | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
own, many people would have been fired at well, millionaires would | :09:39. | :09:56. | |
We stop the things —— some the Conservatives want to do. Let me ask | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
you one other question. The badger cull. Senior people, including | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
marksmen, by saying that they are not killing enough badgers. Has | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
marksmen, by saying that they are been a mistake? I haven't seen the | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
results. Scientists have said it should be going at a particular | :10:19. | :10:27. | |
pace. Is it not?I don't know. Let's see what happens. This is a pilot to | :10:27. | :10:39. | |
One final question. Hinkley Point, nuclear power. That project is in | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
danger of falling over unless the government makes its mind up. When | :10:46. | :11:01. | |
We have got to make sure it... When? I'm not going to say by next Tuesday | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
because we have got to make sure that the interests of the taxpayer | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
are looked after. That is what we And there'll be more about the | :11:13. | :11:20. | |

Today, the city's main bus company announced it would accept Bristol | :12:17. | :12:21. | |

is that they wanted to spend the money locally. It is the first time | :13:09. | :13:26. | |
accepted a local currency. How is To find out, I met a man who really | :13:26. | :13:37. | |
knows his currency. For ten years, England's agent in the South West. | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
So what does he make of the new currency on the block? It is nicely | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
printed, it's an attractive note. It's got all the characteristics of | :13:51. | :13:57. | |

Definitely. If I wasn't accepting the Bristol Pound, I wouldn't have | :14:21. | :14:27. | |

battle facing Somerset's cricketers this weekend. Their vital match | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
against Surrey is hanging in the balance, as both sides are try to | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
stay in Division One of the County Championship. Alistair Durden is at | :16:47. | :16:50. | |

desperate for a result. We did have a short dry spell either side of | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
advantage taking four wickets. Surrey 97/4 in their second innings, | :17:12. | :17:22. | |
leading by just 32 runs. A strong position for Somerset going into the | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
So why is it important to stay in the top division? There's actually | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
no financial difference and, unlike football, there wouldn't be an | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
exodus of players if Somerset went down. No, this is purely about pride | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
winning the County Championship We have been a challenging team | :17:44. | :17:53. | |
winning the County Championship this division for some time now | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
winning the County Championship it would be very disappointing not | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
to have that next year. There is no shame attached to its but we need to | :17:59. | :18:13. | |
try and forge a win and have a go at the Championship next year. We will | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
keep scrapping. There is still time haven't got too many runs on the | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
board is pretty crucial. We can chase anything in the last session | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
up to probably 150. If we get a chase anything in the last session | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
early wickets, it is definitely chase anything in the last session | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
The weather is apparently going chase anything in the last session | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
be lots a lot better tomorrow. Rugby's Championship season begins | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
favourites to win promotion back to Robinson's first full season in | :18:56. | :19:02. | |

Adrian Jarvis is one of only a handful of the current crop of | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Bristol players to have represented the club in the Premiership. Having | :19:11. | :19:15. | |

relegation, Adrian returned to the Premiership with a move to Leeds | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
before heading to London Irish. Having re—signed for Bristol last | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
year, it's now a different club Robinson and first team coach Sean | :19:52. | :20:01. | |
They expect us to get to a certain level and wouldn't hear if they | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
didn't think we could do so. There is a real energy and movement as a | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
club as a whole to get better. And better with a very firm target — | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
promotion back to the Premiership That is why we're here and do the | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
every day. That ambition to be six S4 and be in the Premiership. —— to | :20:26. | :20:37. | |
be successful. We want to beat the big spenders and knock them off | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
Not that the Bristol fans expect We are favourites and we've dealt | :20:43. | :20:56. | |
with that pressure before. I'm really happy with Andy Robson as the | :20:56. | :21:13. | |
A confidence, no doubt, Adrian and the rest of the Bristol squad hope | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
will help them get over the line Two great games in the Premiership | :21:20. | :21:25. | |

the farmers need their support. The weather conditions last year | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
were probably the worst ever and that has a knock—on effect in terms | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
of farmers having to dig deep into their pockets to feed cows. The | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
