:01:09. > :01:14.factory which the judge said was the probably dirty. We have seen the
:01:15. > :01:21.pictures, which are not pleasant to look at. Filthy knives and
:01:22. > :01:25.machinery. Unsanitary conditions. Underpants used as cleaning clocks.
:01:26. > :01:32.Not the kind of place you would expect to see food being prepared.

:01:49. > :01:54.The risk of contamination was very high. And the chicken was being
:01:55. > :02:01.repacked into boxes which were using the health mark, of the original
:02:02. > :02:05.company from which it was bought, because he did not have approval and
:02:06. > :02:09.would never have got one with the premises in that condition. He

:03:44. > :03:51.Gloucester. Huge number of businesses, and mostly a cash trade.
:03:52. > :04:00.So tracing the volume of quantities was very complex. And what about the
:04:01. > :04:02.takeaways? Were the victims? They felt they were dealing with a
:04:03. > :04:07.legitimate trader. They were ignorant of the fact that the

:04:18. > :04:24.must have been below`market price. People are conscious of that in
:04:25. > :04:30.these areas. Is there evidence that people were ill? There is no

:04:43. > :04:49.generally, but we have no evidence of any outbreaks caused by it. A
:04:50. > :04:54.suspended sentence, is that unusual? It is unusual. I think have only
:04:55. > :04:57.heard of two or three in the country over the last few years, of people
:04:58. > :05:03.being sent for jail for food or fences. Usually they are repeat

:13:53. > :13:56.It was from a government agency humour to decide whether to give the
:13:57. > :13:59.operators and extension. It was granted last week but now we have
:14:00. > :14:03.discovered that it has some significant strings attached. To
:14:04. > :14:06.quote from the document, it is recommended that the daily removal
:14:07. > :14:18.rate is monitored closely. The reason for that is because they
:14:19. > :14:23.fear that is not enough badgers are being culled, it could do more harm
:14:24. > :14:28.than good. The document gives an insight into the difficulties that
:14:29. > :14:40.the operators face. The aim was to achieve it by marksmen outside the
:14:41. > :14:44.badger's sets. That proved difficult. Increasingly, they had to
:14:45. > :14:48.use cage trapping, and I've looked at the figures in Gloucestershire
:14:49. > :14:54.and nearly a quarter of the badgers killed were caught in cages. But
:14:55. > :14:59.importantly, this is not allowed beyond the end of November. The cull
:15:00. > :15:05.is meant to go on until the middle of December. The opponents are ready
:15:06. > :15:08.for it. They say they will get out there and start to cut up the cages.
:15:09. > :15:14.In fact some of those involved in the protests were involved 15 years
:15:15. > :15:18.ago during another trial and have experience of it. They say they will
:15:19. > :15:24.get out and do the same. It will be ongoing. If you are a keen
:15:25. > :15:30.gardener, you have probably been busy recently cutting everything
:15:31. > :15:35.back for the winter. They have been doing the same at a cemetery in
:15:36. > :15:37.Weston`super`Mare. But the cuttings from their trees are ending up
:15:38. > :15:48.somewhere more exciting than the compost heap. Milton Road cemetery
:15:49. > :15:55.in Weston. Dating back 150 years, it's well`known for it's avenue of
:15:56. > :15:59.magnificent yew trees. They're cut back every year but this year the
:16:00. > :16:02.cuttings are being put to an unusual use. They've been sold to be used in
:16:03. > :16:08.anti`cancer drugs. It's because of the chemical found in the leaves of
:16:09. > :16:12.the Yewtree. Once harvested, it is used as an active ingredient in
:16:13. > :16:20.drugs used to help fight breast and lung cancer. These trees have been
:16:21. > :16:28.planted as a symbol of everlasting life. The opportunity for us to use
:16:29. > :16:31.the clippings to produce this life`giving chemotherapy drugs was
:16:32. > :16:35.something that we really wanted to do and we thought it was really
:16:36. > :16:42.valuable. Really, it continues that theme of everlasting life. The idea
:16:43. > :16:45.to put the cuttings to good use came as part of a plan to renovate the
:16:46. > :16:51.chapel, which ended up being directly involved in the process. We
:16:52. > :16:57.have spread them out over the tiling. It gave us the right

:17:03. > :17:07.naturally occurring chemicals may not be new but it is certainly
:17:08. > :17:11.useful. It is interesting from a historical point of view. We are
:17:12. > :17:16.using older treatments for cancer but we are also looking forward We
:17:17. > :17:22.are probably going to discover more new types of drugs. I think it is an

:18:15. > :18:21.apply a Morris dancing filter to ensure that European money was not
:18:22. > :18:25.spent on inappropriate schemes. For 45 years, Jenny was an

:18:41. > :18:44.headteacher. There is a wealth of life experience and knowledge in
:18:45. > :18:49.this group and a shared hobby, a passion for Morris dancing. The
:18:50. > :18:52.tradition goes back a long way. It is very important to carry it on.
:18:53. > :18:57.Everyone is enjoying the same thing like any team sport. It brings

:19:01. > :19:03.traditions and they think it is important that we do not lose this
:19:04. > :19:08.and that it is carried on to be passed down. But they do not have
:19:09. > :19:11.the same enthusiasm for the Environment Secretary. Speaking at
:19:12. > :19:17.the Conservative Party conference, he said that funds for rural
:19:18. > :19:19.programmes would only be spent on good, worthwhile projects. And he
:19:20. > :19:25.would put in place a Morris dancing filter. That made this group rather
:19:26. > :19:28.angry for two reasons. They do not feel that a senior government
:19:29. > :19:35.minister should be critical of an English tradition and secondly, they
:19:36. > :19:41.do not get any European money. Suppose it was a case of, oh no not
:19:42. > :19:46.again. I think we were being just dismissed and treated in a drop at
:19:47. > :19:51.freeway. Disappointment, especially from someone in such high standing.
:19:52. > :19:56.That could lead people to think we are supported by funding from the
:19:57. > :20:01.government and we are not. I do not think we are a waste of anything. It
:20:02. > :20:07.is just sad and I feel it was inappropriate. So far, they have not
:20:08. > :20:12.heard from the Environment Secretary or his department, or anyone else
:20:13. > :20:16.about Mr Patterson's point of phrase although we were told in a statement

:20:48. > :20:52.does not start until next April but as it will involve a skating rink
:20:53. > :21:01.being instructed, he has come early to check it out. Our reporter is
:21:02. > :21:05.live at the theatre. People are coming in today for the
:21:06. > :21:14.launch party of this show. At the moment, the only ice here is in that
:21:15. > :21:17.drink. In April, they will be flooding that stage and making it
:21:18. > :21:26.into an ice rink. Robin Cousins joins me. Welcome back. It is lovely
:21:27. > :21:33.to be home. Tell me about the show. I am picking up where left off. Why
:21:34. > :21:37.have grown over the last 30 years as a choreographer and a performer I'm
:21:38. > :21:41.getting other people to do the things that I can no longer do. I
:21:42. > :21:50.have taken everything and have learned as a dancer and a skater,
:21:51. > :21:52.nice and onstage, `` on ice and onstage, and crating a show that I
:21:53. > :21:59.would like to watch as an audience member. Because I am now an audience
:22:00. > :22:06.member. It is a wonderful venue for intimacy, even for a theatre this
:22:07. > :22:09.large. I am very excited to be back. Obviously, you want to engage
:22:10. > :22:15.people's interest in ice`skating. You used to skate down the road
:22:16. > :22:23.here. But it is all gone now. How do you feel about that? Mixed emotions.
:22:24. > :22:29.It was great for its time. But we have moved on. I hope that the
:22:30. > :22:36.demise of that facility means that the city has to look forward and be
:22:37. > :22:41.proactive in getting this new facility up and running. Ice must be
:22:42. > :22:44.part of it but it has to be sustainable and connected to the
:22:45. > :22:50.community, likely it also has to be an arena, where it can make money by
:22:51. > :22:53.housing constructs. We have great bands here, and they need somewhere
:22:54. > :22:59.to perform when they come home. Maybe we could do that with the ice
:23:00. > :23:02.rink wouldn't that be nice? Ice kicks off in April and the stage
:23:03. > :23:07.will become an ice rink. Join us for that.

:23:36. > :23:39.victory. They overcame the Edinburgh Monarchs by 49 points to 44 to win
:23:40. > :23:50.92`89 on aggregate in the play off final. We have worked so hard. Words
:23:51. > :23:54.cannot describe it. With all the boys looking after each other, it
:23:55. > :23:57.just shows what you can do. Since March the team have been competing
:23:58. > :24:01.across the country. They came top of the table at the end of the regular
:24:02. > :24:06.season but trailed by two points going in to the second leg at the
:24:07. > :24:09.Oak Tree Arena. This is probably one of the best nights of my life.
:24:10. > :24:18.Cannot believe it has finally happened. We have gone across the
:24:19. > :24:24.country with some fantastic people behind us. We finished top of the
:24:25. > :24:30.table and now we're finished top of the final, so yes, it has been an
:24:31. > :24:33.awesome season. It's the Rebels third piece of silverware this
:24:34. > :24:36.season, following victories in the Premier League Knockout Cup and
:24:37. > :24:38.Pairs Championship. But this was the title they wanted and even the
:24:39. > :24:49.gloomy weather couldn't stop the celebrations.
:24:50. > :24:53.So happy! However, that gloomy weather moved away today because we
:24:54. > :24:58.had the strong wind, torrential rain, and today, hopefully for all
:24:59. > :25:04.of you, it has been sunny and pleasant. Lovely. Look at that! From
:25:05. > :25:08.the Bristol Downs, taken as the sun was going down. We'll be fine
:25:09. > :25:13.weather continue or are the storms on the way? I might be able to guess
:25:14. > :25:21.the answer! Ian knows all. So he tells us.
:25:22. > :25:25.Not everyone saw the sunshine today. We have had some showers. Some of
:25:26. > :25:28.those are still lingering. And there will be some around during the
:25:29. > :25:34.course of tomorrow morning. But the key change tomorrow will be after
:25:35. > :25:37.dry conditions in the morning, we will find wet and windy weather
:25:38. > :25:42.starting to return. As we get to mid afternoon. The rush`hour will be
:25:43. > :25:48.rather wet and windy. But not exceptionally so. This is how things
:25:49. > :25:57.are shaping up. It will be a chilly night. Heading through tomorrow
:25:58. > :26:10.many areas will see cloud increasing and the wind picking up. For the
:26:11. > :26:18.time being, showers around, becoming less of a feature. And there will be
:26:19. > :26:27.a phase where we lose them altogether, and they are being
:26:28. > :26:33.driven out by the sea temperature. And we will see some more of those
:26:34. > :26:36.by the M5 tomorrow. Any areas will have `` many areas will have chilly
:26:37. > :26:45.temperatures, perhaps as low as two or three. Some grass frost, if
:26:46. > :26:48.nothing else. A chilly start, with the exception being towards the
:26:49. > :26:55.Bristol Channel. Some showers dotted around. That cloud is increasing
:26:56. > :27:02.through the afternoon. Then in comes the rain. Mostly moderate rainfall
:27:03. > :27:11.with maybe the odd burst coming through. You can see that by nine or
:27:12. > :27:17.ten, it is out of the way. It might be heavy across Dorset and
:27:18. > :27:21.Wiltshire. Into tomorrow evening, the temperatures will be between 12
:27:22. > :27:26.and 14. Storms on the way? Certainly some gales, may be severe as we move
:27:27. > :27:33.into the weekend, so bear that in mind for firework displays.
:27:34. > :27:36.We will keep an eye on that. That is it for now. Join me at lunchtime
:27:37. > :27:43.tomorrow if you can. I've told you not to go trick or treating! We re
:27:44. > :27:48.back with an update at 10pm and the team will return tomorrow. Bye`bye.
