:00:00. > :00:12.That is all from the BBC's news at six, so it is goodbye from
:00:13. > :00:19.Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West. Our headlines tonight:
:00:20. > :00:21.Settling the score. Dozens of early`morning arrests following the
:00:22. > :00:25.pitch invasion at the derby between City and Rovers.
:00:26. > :00:30.A damning report into mental health treatment. Some patients were
:00:31. > :00:42.assessed without being seen to meet targets. It has got absolutely spot
:00:43. > :00:44.on. Things are not being recorded properly, information is taken out
:00:45. > :00:48.of records. Getting stuck in. A West Country MP
:00:49. > :00:50.fights plans to reduce the sugar in British jam.
:00:51. > :00:56.And the home`made stamps that fooled the Post Office for years.
:00:57. > :01:01.Good evening. More than 20 people had a rude awakening in Bristol
:01:02. > :01:05.early this morning after police carried out a series of dawn raids
:01:06. > :01:09.in a clamp`down on football violence. It follows missiles being
:01:10. > :01:12.thrown by rival fans and a pitch invasion when Bristol City and
:01:13. > :01:17.Bristol Rovers met last month for the first time in six years. The
:01:18. > :01:19.clubs warn that anyone who is convicted will be banned for life.
:01:20. > :01:30.Scott Ellis reports. Local rivalry turned to violence on
:01:31. > :01:36.September the 4th as Ashton Gate hosted the first City versus Rovers
:01:37. > :01:41.game for six years. A pitch invasion was followed by fights outside the
:01:42. > :01:49.ground and in the city centre. On matchday, we spoke to supporters.
:01:50. > :01:57.The game was marred by them coming on the pitch. Bristol Rovers are a
:01:58. > :02:02.family club. There is no reason why people should invade the pitch. It's
:02:03. > :02:05.dangerous. Today, those suspected of being involved were arrested ` men
:02:06. > :02:08.who've been identified from CCTV pictures taken that day and who
:02:09. > :02:10.potentially face jail terms for charges including criminal damage,
:02:11. > :02:27.violent disorder and throwing missiles. Those arrested today will
:02:28. > :02:30.receive lifetime bands from those clubs. 28 people were arrested
:02:31. > :02:33.today. Another six say they'll report to a police station. Bristol
:02:34. > :02:36.City Football Club support today's police operation, aware some
:02:37. > :02:46.children and families were shocked by what they saw. The headline
:02:47. > :02:56.should have been about a good game of football. And for most of the
:02:57. > :02:59.time, we achieved that. It was disappointing to lose out at the
:03:00. > :03:03.end. A further 28 arrests had been made prior to this morning's
:03:04. > :03:06.operation. This is a problem by no means unique to Bristol. Police say
:03:07. > :03:12.there's been a 27% increase in football violence nationally.
:03:13. > :03:15.A convicted paedophile from Gloucestershire has been charged
:03:16. > :03:19.under child prostitution laws in Cambodia. Richard Fruin moved to the
:03:20. > :03:24.country after being released from jail earlier this year. He used to
:03:25. > :03:27.live in Stroud, and our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve
:03:28. > :03:40.Knibbs, is there for us tonight What do we know about Richard Fruin?
:03:41. > :04:02.He is in the Cambodian capital city in custody. . We understand that
:04:03. > :04:06.he's been charged with purchasing a child for prostitution and if found
:04:07. > :04:11.guilty will face up to five years in jail. We last heard of them at the
:04:12. > :04:18.end of November when he was sent to jail for pleading guilty to making
:04:19. > :04:23.15 counts of indecent images of children. Those charges go back to
:04:24. > :04:30.2005. Before he came to court, he fled the country. He was picked up
:04:31. > :04:34.in the UK in May last year and sent to jail at the end of November for a
:04:35. > :04:39.year but would have been released on licence because under UK law,
:04:40. > :04:45.offenders can serve half of their license `` their sentence on
:04:46. > :05:07.licence. What will happen to him now? He is under investigation for
:05:08. > :05:11.other suspected offences. It's also believed that he could face other
:05:12. > :05:13.charges because his arrest came after a month`long operation by the
:05:14. > :05:16.organisation Action Pour Les Enfants ` Action for for Children `
:05:17. > :05:20.connecting Richard Fruin to possibly three other suspected claims of
:05:21. > :05:23.sexual assault on other boys at the same guesthouse. Those claims are
:05:24. > :05:26.now being looked at by police from the anti`trafficking unit in Phnom
:05:27. > :05:29.Penh. A pizza delivery man's in hospital
:05:30. > :05:33.after being knocked unconscious in Bristol last night. It followed a
:05:34. > :05:37.clash with a group of men in North Street in the Bedminster area. Part
:05:38. > :05:40.of the road was closed for much of the day while police investigations
:05:41. > :05:44.took place. The driver is said to be recovering well and is now able to
:05:45. > :05:47.sit up in bed and talk to doctors. A Somerset MP is warning that
:05:48. > :05:51.traditional British jam is under threat. Tessa Munt of Wells
:05:52. > :05:55.organised a debate in Parliament this morning over changes to the
:05:56. > :06:00.amount of sugar jams and marmalades must contain. The government argues
:06:01. > :06:03.the reduction will boost exports to countries like France ` which
:06:04. > :06:11.apparently find our jam too sweet ` and reduce red tape. Here's our
:06:12. > :06:14.political editor, Paul Barltrop It's a little dollop of British
:06:15. > :06:19.life, so meddling with our marmalades or jams provokes passion.
:06:20. > :06:22.At the moment, each jar must be at least 60% sugar. The government
:06:23. > :06:32.propose changing that to 50%, and that's made one Somerset MP see red.
:06:33. > :06:36.If the changes are made, this is a huge threat and includes all sorts
:06:37. > :06:47.of other products. We won't know what it is we are buying. Sugar is
:06:48. > :06:53.so important. It what it. Today she raised it in Parliament. The end of
:06:54. > :06:58.the British breakfast as we know it. But the Government minister insisted
:06:59. > :07:02.our favourite jams needn't change. Those brands that believe you must
:07:03. > :07:09.have 60% sugar in order for it to be a quality product will carry on
:07:10. > :07:12.These are minimum requirements, not maximum requirements. And the
:07:13. > :07:14.changes are welcomed by many manufacturers, including this
:07:15. > :07:17.Gloucestershire firm. Kitchen Garden Foods in Stroud hope it'll cut red
:07:18. > :07:25.tape and they reckon reducing sugar in some lines will help them sell
:07:26. > :07:30.more overseas. I have had a customer recently, we do a mixture of jams
:07:31. > :07:33.and chutneys, and she won't take jabs because she thinks they are too
:07:34. > :07:36.sweet for the French market. Today's debate is unlikely to deflect the
:07:37. > :07:38.Government. Ministers hope a new era of slightly less sugary jams could
:07:39. > :07:49.start next year. You're watching the Wednesday
:07:50. > :07:53.edition of your regional news programme with David and Alex. Stay

:08:14. > :08:16.World Cup game. It's been revealed that patients
:08:17. > :08:20.being cared for by a mental health trust in Wiltshire were having their
:08:21. > :08:24.records falsified in order to meet performance targets. The details
:08:25. > :08:27.about the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership have just come to
:08:28. > :08:31.light in a report released under the Freedom of Information Act. But the
:08:32. > :08:36.Trust says its own investigation found no evidence of tampering. Will
:08:37. > :08:39.Glennon reports. Steve King suffers from post
:08:40. > :08:50.traumatic stress disorder but he's not getting help. I have had no
:08:51. > :08:54.treatment or support or counselling, nobody to talk to. But he says the
:08:55. > :08:57.most difficult thing he's done is deal with Avon and Wiltshire Mental
:08:58. > :09:03.Health partnership. He's convinced his own records haven't been
:09:04. > :09:08.properly kept. I wrote various letters to various people in the
:09:09. > :09:14.organisation and got nothing back. I then realised they started to spin
:09:15. > :09:20.things so I made some access requests. I made Freedom of
:09:21. > :09:23.information requests. Bit by bit I realised records about me for being
:09:24. > :09:26.falsified or altered. Steve's search for the truth about himself led to
:09:27. > :09:30.the release of an independent report from last August into whether
:09:31. > :09:33.patient records had been falsified. The investigation began after social
:09:34. > :09:39.workers raised the alarm and the report's conclusions were shocking.
:09:40. > :09:43.It exposed a lack of consistency, omissions and false reporting. It
:09:44. > :09:46.said patient records had been falsified by some social workers and
:09:47. > :09:54.this was driven by inappropriate targets and a threatening
:09:55. > :09:57.performance management culture. It's something the organisation here
:09:58. > :10:02.completely denies. It says its own investigation found no wrongdoing.
:10:03. > :10:10.The Mental Health Partnership instead blamed a glitch in the
:10:11. > :10:14.computer records system. When the report team came in and looked at
:10:15. > :10:19.the records, they could see differences between what the record
:10:20. > :10:23.was recording in what had happened in somebody's care. We understand
:10:24. > :10:28.and know the reasons for that now and were able to scrutinise the
:10:29. > :10:32.record in absolute detail. We did need to re`issue guidance to our
:10:33. > :10:34.staff to make sure those discrepancies don't happen in the
:10:35. > :10:37.future. There have since been big changes at the Mental Health
:10:38. > :10:41.Partnership but Steve King says people like him are still at risk
:10:42. > :10:48.and he'll keep on fighting for answers.
:10:49. > :10:51.The government's preparing to set out its five`year targets for the
:10:52. > :10:55.railways, and it's expected they'll ask Network Rail to make sure nine
:10:56. > :10:57.out of ten trains run on time. But commuters here face disruption with
:10:58. > :11:00.electrification and upgrade work between the West Country and London.
:11:01. > :11:04.And that could affect the performance of our biggest operator,
:11:05. > :11:08.First Great Western. Dickon Hooper reports.
:11:09. > :11:13.Getting trains on the right track is no small undertaking. This miniature
:11:14. > :11:19.line predates privatisation and its web of targets. Train companies have
:11:20. > :11:23.their own punctuality targets, as set out in their franchise
:11:24. > :11:27.agreements. The biggest operator here is First Great Western, which
:11:28. > :11:33.has just signed a new deal to run its services until September 20 5.
:11:34. > :11:38.We've learnt that the targets in the new franchise are the same as
:11:39. > :11:42.before, which they're meeting. On their local lines, nine out of ten
:11:43. > :11:45.trains do run on time, as the Government wants. But this isn't
:11:46. > :11:54.happening on long`distance services which could be affected by
:11:55. > :11:59.electrification and upgrades. It will lead to more passengers being
:12:00. > :12:06.diverted, longer journey times and quite a few bus journeys as well. It
:12:07. > :12:12.is the biggest construction site in Europe. Network Rail has to do the
:12:13. > :12:14.work to deal with increased passenger numbers, but running
:12:15. > :12:27.trains through it could be challenging and affect performance.
:12:28. > :12:32.If Network Rail are digging up the line, it is impossible for first to
:12:33. > :12:35.run trains on time because in theory, a lot of this will be
:12:36. > :12:39.factored in with timetabling, but things go wrong. At the miniature
:12:40. > :12:43.railway, there's some upgrade work of their own. First Great Western
:12:44. > :12:46.does back the target of nine out of ten trains running on time but say
:12:47. > :12:50.that if other operators are allowed to deliver just under that, they
:12:51. > :12:55.should be, too ` on their long`distance lines only. We'll
:12:56. > :13:04.learn the details tomorrow, but safe to say it's all much simpler here.
:13:05. > :13:08.It's been a very special day for some of the West's military
:13:09. > :13:11.families. 300 soldiers were honoured at their camp in Tidworth in
:13:12. > :13:14.Wiltshire after serving in Afghanistan. The Royal Electrical
:13:15. > :13:18.and Mechanical Engineers have just returned from six months away. But
:13:19. > :13:21.before they received their medals, they had to share the parade ground
:13:22. > :13:28.with the children who had missed them most. Tracey Miller reports.
:13:29. > :13:32.Walking onto the parade ground in front of hundreds of well`wishers is
:13:33. > :13:47.daunting, but with the help of Mum or Dad, they were all presented with
:13:48. > :13:51.something special. Medal. Counting the days? The wives and families of
:13:52. > :13:55.the soldiers got together and baked cakes to raise money. It was put
:13:56. > :13:59.towards the engraved medals and a chance to make a fuss of the
:14:00. > :14:06.children that have had a tough six months. It has been lovely for them
:14:07. > :14:11.to have something to show for their support for their daddies. Now he's
:14:12. > :14:19.back, I don't need to think about it. All I need to think about is him
:14:20. > :14:24.back now. To know we would have this parade and that the children would
:14:25. > :14:38.take part in that is a very proud moment for myself. I loved it. It
:14:39. > :14:44.recognises the fact that the children go through as much as we
:14:45. > :14:47.do, as do the wives. It's an opportunity to say thank you to
:14:48. > :14:50.them. Then the soldiers who have served in Afghanistan marched on to
:14:51. > :14:52.collect their medals in more military fashion. Tonight, though,
:14:53. > :14:54.they will all be celebrating together at a very relaxed and
:14:55. > :15:12.informal disco. A Roman sculpture of an eagle `
:15:13. > :15:15.believed to have been made in Gloucestershire ` has been
:15:16. > :15:18.discovered by archaeologists in the final hours of a dig at a London
:15:19. > :15:22.building site. The statue, which shows the bird clasping a serpent in
:15:23. > :15:26.its beak, is thought to be almost 2,000 years old. Archaeologists also
:15:27. > :15:37.found a mausoleum and believe the eagle, made from Cotswolds
:15:38. > :15:42.limestone, once sat on top of it. Bristol is playing host to a World
:15:43. > :15:45.Cup game tonight. Teams from the USA and the exotic Cook Islands have
:15:46. > :15:49.travelled thousands of miles to play in a group match of the Rugby League
:15:50. > :15:53.World Cup. It's the only fixture being staged in the West Country.
:15:54. > :16:07.The venue is the Memorial Stadium in Horfield, where we find our
:16:08. > :16:12.reporter, Sabet Choudhury. The crowd are starting to trickle in
:16:13. > :16:22.and the players are taking one final look at this pitch. The USA arrived
:16:23. > :16:26.in Bristol yesterday afternoon and came here to see the pitch and do
:16:27. > :16:32.something called the Captain's Run ` when the captain, not the coach
:16:33. > :16:35.runs the training session. Now, it's quite fair to say that the USA
:16:36. > :16:42.Tomahawks aren't expected to do well in the competition, but they're
:16:43. > :16:58.confident they will make a mark We have a good chance. Everybody has
:16:59. > :17:01.written us off. But that's fine Of course, sharing this pitch with the
:17:02. > :17:04.Tomahawks are the Cook Islands and the squad have based themselves in
:17:05. > :17:09.Bristol for the whole of the tournament. And as Alistair Durden
:17:10. > :17:22.reports, they've been trying to make themselves at home.
:17:23. > :17:26.This is a traditional warrior song from the cook islands, although not
:17:27. > :17:32.normally performed in a hotel dining room. The squad brought their
:17:33. > :17:42.instruments with them to Bristol. It is part of our culture back home.
:17:43. > :17:51.Everyone knows how to drum. We take our culture with us. We have got
:17:52. > :17:56.something to show the people here in England. The Cook Islands are 3 00
:17:57. > :18:00.miles of the coast of Australia Only 20,000 people live on them
:18:01. > :18:06.enough to fill the Memorial Stadium twice. Most of the squad were
:18:07. > :18:10.actually born in Australia or New Zealand, it's their parents or
:18:11. > :18:17.grandparents who are the islanders. Even so, the most, it is a first
:18:18. > :18:23.visit to England. It's a bit colder than home but a lot of the boys are
:18:24. > :18:29.wearing their flip`flops. You are adapting to the weather? Bristol is
:18:30. > :18:38.a really good town. They are on looking after us. They have been
:18:39. > :18:41.here for a week now, visiting schools to give coaching sessions
:18:42. > :18:47.and promote a game that doesn't have a big following in the West. I heard
:18:48. > :18:54.it was more of a rugby union and football town. Hopefully, we can get
:18:55. > :19:00.out of our high schools and promote rugby league more. Tonight is their
:19:01. > :19:03.only match in Bristol but they will be keeping their base there and
:19:04. > :19:14.leaving the city with a colourful reminder of their stay.
:19:15. > :19:21.Rugby league place a fighting second to rugby union in the West, . The
:19:22. > :19:24.Bristol Sonics are the only Rugby League side in the area and Phil
:19:25. > :19:32.Cole is their chairman. Historic night. Fantastic. The first game
:19:33. > :19:37.since 1911. Never thought I would see a World Cup game here. A
:19:38. > :19:45.fighting second to rugby union. How do you combat that? We see it as an
:19:46. > :19:50.extra sport. It doesn't matter whether it is football, rugby union
:19:51. > :19:56.or cricket, we just want people to enjoy rugby league for what it is.
:19:57. > :20:02.Lots of opportunities to enjoy themselves. It will be a hard game
:20:03. > :20:07.tonight as well. I think so. The Cook Islands have the edge at the
:20:08. > :20:15.moment, but we have seen huge upsets already in this tournament. So
:20:16. > :20:19.anything could happen. The game kicks off at 8pm. The cheerleaders
:20:20. > :20:23.are just about to take to the ground so the crowd will get something of a
:20:24. > :20:27.show and we will bring you the results of this game in our bulletin
:20:28. > :20:31.at 10pm. Short wood is a small village on the
:20:32. > :20:33.outskirts of Nailsworth in Gloucestershire, with only a few
:20:34. > :20:39.hundred people, no pub, no post office or shop. But it does have a
:20:40. > :20:43.football club. And now, for the first time in their 113`year
:20:44. > :20:47.history, the team's though to the first proper round of the FA Cup.
:20:48. > :20:51.They made it after beating Aldershot in a replay 2`1 last night, even
:20:52. > :21:00.though Aldershot are three divisions above them. An incredible
:21:01. > :21:06.achievement for a village of this size to have a football club
:21:07. > :21:13.reaching these heights. The players are absolutely over the moon. The
:21:14. > :21:17.support we had at Aldershot was brilliant, and to be fair to the
:21:18. > :21:20.order shop fans, they were very sporting to our players.
:21:21. > :21:24.Now, it seems he's fooled the Post Office for years. An architect from
:21:25. > :21:28.Somerset says he's been sending letters all over the world for free
:21:29. > :21:34.using homemade stamps featuring his own face. Angus McDonagh claims he's
:21:35. > :21:45.duped Royal Mail with over 100 of his bizarre designs.
:21:46. > :21:48.This is a face that is, now, well known to Royal Mail. For the past
:21:49. > :21:52.three years, this face has been passing through sorting offices and
:21:53. > :21:57.franking machines around the UK and around the world. Because since
:21:58. > :22:03.2010, this man hasn't been using the Queen's head to ensure his letters
:22:04. > :22:07.get delivered. Angus McDonagh has been using his own. He says he's
:22:08. > :22:17.sent 250 letters with meaningless self designed stamps and postmarks
:22:18. > :22:24.to addresses around the world. Only one wasn't delivered for free. My
:22:25. > :22:30.letters should not get through, and they have been sent to various parts
:22:31. > :22:37.of the world, not just the UK: Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France,
:22:38. > :22:40.North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. Mr McDonagh
:22:41. > :22:44.has created 50 stamp designs altogether. Most feature himself,
:22:45. > :22:47.most contain a joke or two ` and all he says are done with a wry smile
:22:48. > :22:51.and a hint of mischief. The envelopes too are carefully created
:22:52. > :23:00.` it can take a whole day to perfect his prank. I have had a lot of fun
:23:01. > :23:07.doing it, but now is the time to call a port and, if possible, I
:23:08. > :23:11.would like to work with Royal Mail in order to try and resolve this
:23:12. > :23:14.flaw in the system. It is perhaps important to point out that you
:23:15. > :23:18.probably don't want to try this at home ` not so much because its time
:23:19. > :23:22.consuming ` more because Royal Mail insist it is against the law to
