:00:22. > :00:24.after being given the drug. Now they say it should no longer be

:00:58. > :01:01.26 years later. Good evening. The parents of a
:01:02. > :01:04.teenager, who took his own life months after being prescribed an
:01:05. > :01:08.acne drug, have begun a fight to have it banned. Jack Bowlby was 16
:01:09. > :01:12.when he was found dead in his room at school. An inquest into his death
:01:13. > :01:16.was unable to prove it was caused by the medication but his parents say
:01:17. > :01:21.they feel it played a part and want to make others aware of the risks.
:01:22. > :01:25.Zoe Gough reports. A brilliant horseman who had
:01:26. > :01:30.everything to live for. Jack Bowlby killed himself last October in his
:01:31. > :01:35.room at Cheltenham College. He had been taking Roaccutane to treat his
:01:36. > :01:38.acne. And, although the inquest didn't find the drug responsible, a
:01:39. > :01:42.toxicologist told the hearing he couldn't rule out that Jack may
:01:43. > :01:54.still be alive if he had not taken it. His parents are now fighting to
:01:55. > :01:56.have Roaccutane banned. The weekend before he died, he definitely was
:01:57. > :01:59.not right at home. We thought... before he died, he definitely was
:02:00. > :02:03.not right at home. We thought.. We not right at home. We thought.. We
:02:04. > :02:08.did not associated with the Roaccutane. He was not himself. He
:02:09. > :02:13.was quiet, withdrawn. There was no joy in him. The drug's makers,
:02:14. > :02:16.Roche, said 17 million people worldwide use this product and no
:02:17. > :02:18.link has been established between the medication and either depression
:02:19. > :02:22.and suicide, although Roaccutane comes with a warning that some may
:02:23. > :02:36.experience mood changes and increased depression. But it remains
:02:37. > :02:39.a popular treament. It can change people 's lives completely, make
:02:40. > :02:42.them feel far more positive about their skin, change the way they
:02:43. > :02:50.behave with their peers and give them more social confidence. Some
:02:51. > :02:53.people are so debilitated by this disease and this allows them to gain
:02:54. > :02:56.more confidence. But, for Jack's parents, the effectiveness doesn't
:02:57. > :03:03.outweigh the possibility of more deaths. And they've now taken their
:03:04. > :03:06.campaign to Parliament. Young lives are at stake and we can no longer
:03:07. > :03:10.afford inaction. The Health Minister has now promised to look into the
:03:11. > :03:14.matter. For Jack's parents, this is a campaign to stop others suffering
:03:15. > :03:19.a similar loss. A loss they say they will never recover from.
:03:20. > :03:25.Vincent Tabak, a Dutch man who had been living in Bristol, is to appear
:03:26. > :03:29.in court in connection with making and possessing indecent images of
:03:30. > :03:33.children. Avon and Somerset Police say the images were found on his
:03:34. > :03:36.computer more than two years ago. He's accussed of two offences of

:03:53. > :03:55.theatre which went bust earlier this year The district council bought the
:03:56. > :04:01.Brewhouse Theatre in Taunton from the administrators. Tonight, they
:04:02. > :04:04.vote on whether to lease it to a volunteer group of local
:04:05. > :04:12.enthusiasts. Our Somerset Correspondent, Clinton Rogers, is
:04:13. > :04:15.live for us now outside the theatre. Thank you.
:04:16. > :04:18.Yes, tonight is a big night for the Brewhouse. Ironically, right now
:04:19. > :04:27.it's open, just temporarily to host a local school production. The
:04:28. > :04:34.theatre closed back in February, when the company running it went
:04:35. > :04:38.bust. A bad day for Taunton. Tonight could mark a new chapter in the
:04:39. > :04:44.history of the Brewhouse Theatre, if the council that owns it and the
:04:45. > :04:51.volunteer group that was to run it can agree on the figures.
:04:52. > :04:54.The pupils of Taunton School have been making their own bit of history
:04:55. > :04:58.at the Brewhouse Theatre this week. They're the first to tread the
:04:59. > :05:09.boards here since the theatre closed its doors in February. This has been
:05:10. > :05:11.a temporary reopening of the theatre doors, for five days only. The
:05:12. > :05:16.long`term future of this place depends on a council vote tonight.
:05:17. > :05:20.The council has always owned the building. It bought back the lease
:05:21. > :05:23.from the administrators for around ?150,000. Now it has to decide
:05:24. > :05:32.whether a volunteer community group should be given a new lease to run
:05:33. > :05:35.the theatre. I think that we all agreed that everyone in the room to
:05:36. > :05:42.night will be looking for a good outcome and I am sure we will
:05:43. > :05:45.achieve a good outcome. That will be that Taunton Theatre Association
:05:46. > :05:48.will be able to work closely with the council to deliver something
:05:49. > :05:52.good for the people of Taunton. When the Brewhouse brought the curtain
:05:53. > :05:53.down eight months ago, it was a purely commercial decision as the

:06:21. > :06:26.have subsidised many leisure activities. Swimming pools are holes
:06:27. > :06:32.into which we pour money, not just water! If you want to serve the
:06:33. > :06:36.community, they want a good cultural offering. The Brewhouse Theatre can
:06:37. > :06:39.offer that. There's been overwhelming public pressure to get
:06:40. > :06:42.the Brewhouse re`opened. Whether it can stay open clearly depends on
:06:43. > :06:45.long`term public support and the ability of any new theatre manager
:06:46. > :06:58.to do what the last lot couldn't, at the very least break even.
:06:59. > :07:05.So councillors are debating the future of this place right now. They
:07:06. > :07:10.are just a view hundred metres in that direction. We will give you the
:07:11. > :07:14.result in the late news to night, if they have finished debating!

:07:33. > :07:34.And we need more room at the inn, as the Knutty Knitters show us their
:07:35. > :07:45.latest Nativity creation. I'm looking forward to that!
:07:46. > :07:49.One of the West's premier attractions, The Bath Spa, is likely
:07:50. > :07:52.to be run by a new company after tonight. The parent company of
:07:53. > :07:56.Wessex Water wants to take over the remaining 42`year lease from the
:07:57. > :07:59.current operator. It's up the council to agree the deal. But, as
:08:00. > :08:03.our Bath reporter Ali Vowles has been finding out, the take over is
:08:04. > :08:08.far from hostile and is likely to be good news for the city.
:08:09. > :08:11.On a cold December morning, the warm Spa waters could not look more
:08:12. > :08:15.inviting. Since it opened almost seven years ago, it attracts over
:08:16. > :08:21.200,000 visitors a year to the city and has turned into a success story
:08:22. > :08:25.for the city. The Spa is owned by the council, but the 50`year lease
:08:26. > :08:29.to run it is with Thermae, who pay a profit share to the council. But now
:08:30. > :08:32.they want to sell their shares to the parent company of Wessex Water
:08:33. > :08:43.who also run spa's and hotels around the world. It is definitely a
:08:44. > :08:46.friendly takeover. While the spa has been successful over the last six or
:08:47. > :08:50.seven years since it has been open, it is really looking to the
:08:51. > :08:54.long`term future. The new company, YTL, say there will no job losses
:08:55. > :08:58.and in fact are promising much more business for the city. It is
:08:59. > :08:59.investing heavily in Bath and is currently coverting this old college

:09:06. > :09:14.It hopes it will be a win`win situation for everyone. This will
:09:15. > :09:19.continue to run as it is. This is a successful spa. It gets a great
:09:20. > :09:23.throughput of people and roll is great for the city. What we bring is
:09:24. > :09:28.an international presence and they bring and expertise that will help
:09:29. > :09:34.grow the business. Over the 50 year lease, the council hope it will earn
:09:35. > :09:39.lots of money. It has already earned ?1.8 million since it opened in
:09:40. > :09:42.2006. Last year, it earned ?600 000. However, getting to this point was
:09:43. > :09:47.painful. No`one will ever forget the trials and tribulations of the Spa
:09:48. > :09:50.being built. The opening was four years late, the Three Tenors sang to
:09:51. > :09:52.mark its opening and still it remained shut. There were
:09:53. > :09:56.disagreements and lawsuits over peeling paint and who was liable and
:09:57. > :10:02.the cost to the taxpayer in Bath was ?26 million. The council say it will
:10:03. > :10:12.eventually recoup its costs and is already generating over ?12 million
:10:13. > :10:15.in the wider Bath economy. It is paying back the investment, it is
:10:16. > :10:19.bringing in income and revenue to many businesses and shops and
:10:20. > :10:24.restaurants and cafes around Bath. We held our nerve, or we had no
:10:25. > :10:29.option. Time has proved it was the correct decision. The long`term aim
:10:30. > :10:32.is to get the city seen as a European Spa destination, keeping
:10:33. > :10:38.the visitors ` and their money ` coming into Bath.
:10:39. > :10:41.Cuts are to be made to bus services in Dorset. County councillors met
:10:42. > :10:47.today and voted to reduce subsidies by ?850,000. Buses serving
:10:48. > :10:53.Sherborne, Blandford and Thorncombe are among 13 services which will
:10:54. > :10:57.lose out. The council say they're hardly used, with the subsidy
:10:58. > :11:01.costing up to ?9 per passenger. Campaigners warn young and elderly
:11:02. > :11:05.people in rural areas will be badly affected.
:11:06. > :11:07.The MP for Somerset and Frome, David Heath, challenged the Deputy Prime
:11:08. > :11:12.Minister today about why his constituents are still having to
:11:13. > :11:16.make do without broadband. While over 80% of those in his area will
:11:17. > :11:19.be connected in three years' time, he says it still leaves more than
:11:20. > :11:23.8,000 properties without access to the internet. And he asked when the
:11:24. > :11:31.Government would be committing funds to finish the job. Mr Speaker, we
:11:32. > :11:37.are investing, as he knows, over ?33 million in extending the coverage of
:11:38. > :11:39.superfast broadband in Devon and Somerset as part of the roll
:11:40. > :11:41.programme. That is exhilarating. Somerset as part of the roll
:11:42. > :11:45.programme. That is exhilarating Over 10,000 premises are to be
:11:46. > :11:55.covered by the project by the end of the year. 74,000 by next July. On
:11:56. > :12:03.the final 10%, we announced a plan to extend broadband coverage further
:12:04. > :12:10.I2017. That will be set out in detail shortly. One of Bristol's top
:12:11. > :12:14.judges has gone back to school to explain to the children how the law
:12:15. > :12:18.works. And, for the first time, our cameras were allowed to follow him
:12:19. > :12:20.as he took the court room to the assembly hall. Our Home Affairs
:12:21. > :12:23.Correspondent, Steve Brodie, watched him in action and has this exclusive
:12:24. > :12:30.report. Ladies and gentlemen, you have heard the evidence in this case
:12:31. > :12:38.and the decision you have to make is really quite a simple one. Did this
:12:39. > :12:41.defendant Rob that woman? Mark Horton is one of Bristol's
:12:42. > :12:43.best`known and most experienced judges. He's normally in court,
:12:44. > :12:47.presiding over trials involving organised crime and complicated
:12:48. > :12:51.frauds. But, today, he's back to school. These pupils at the Orchard
:12:52. > :12:58.School in Bristol are taking part in a mock trial. They're the jury.
:12:59. > :12:59.Where were you in the afternoon? a mock trial. They're the jury.
:13:00. > :13:03.Where were you in the afternoon I Where were you in the afternoon I
:13:04. > :13:06.was at home. They have watched the reconstruction of a robbery and the
:13:07. > :13:10.judge gives speeches for both the prosecution and the defence. He says
:13:11. > :13:13.it's important for the children to learn about the legal system and to
:13:14. > :13:19.learn how to deal with pratical probelms. They require you to
:13:20. > :13:21.listen, they require you to make a judgement about people and come to
:13:22. > :13:29.the best practical conclusion you can. They have the ability to do
:13:30. > :13:31.that and they don't realise they do. These children have had a creamy
:13:32. > :13:37.hard lives, some of them. They need to work for a hard to survive and,
:13:38. > :13:42.in the course of that, they acquire fantastic skills in dealing with
:13:43. > :13:51.life. The issue should be the money was taken from her bag. She says it
:13:52. > :13:54.was by him, he says it it wasn't him. The day began with the class
:13:55. > :13:58.being split into different groups and the judge talking them about
:13:59. > :14:01.they want to achieve in life. Like many schools in Bristol, the Orchard
:14:02. > :14:05.has a full`time Police Community Support Officer. She's in no doubt
:14:06. > :14:13.as to the value of the judge's visits. At first, there was
:14:14. > :14:16.apprehension. The kids are bit unsure as to why a judge might be
:14:17. > :14:22.coming into the school. Some notes there as well but as the day rolls
:14:23. > :14:28.out, it is quite apparent that the kids get a lock from it, meeting
:14:29. > :14:33.such an influential character does well for them. The week before the
:14:34. > :14:37.class all came here to Bristol Crown Court and watched the judge in
:14:38. > :14:47.action. So what did they think? Scary. They are scary? Yes. Not many
:14:48. > :14:54.people get this experience, meeting an actual job who has done lots of
:14:55. > :14:57.interesting cases. I am amazed, as you should be, about how little they
:14:58. > :15:00.know about how the system works. know about how the system works.
:15:01. > :15:08.Despite watching Eastenders and all these programmes where the system
:15:09. > :15:11.appears. When they do understand, they are fascinated. Scary or not,
:15:12. > :15:15.the message is important. The children get to know about the law
:15:16. > :15:27.and its place in their lives. As for the judge, it's back to court. You
:15:28. > :15:35.wouldn't muck about in class if you had a High Court judge there.
:15:36. > :15:38.The new chairman of Swindon Town, Lee Power, has reassured fans that
:15:39. > :15:41.the financial future of the club is safe under his ownership. His
:15:42. > :15:44.comments follow the completion of his takeover yesterday. Lee,
:15:45. > :15:47.pictured here in the grey jumper, says he's invested around ?750,000
:15:48. > :15:52.so far this season and has vowed not to allow the club to get into debt.
:15:53. > :15:57.On the pitch, Yeovil Town beat promotion`chasing Blackpool last
:15:58. > :16:02.night at Huish Park 1`0. They took all three points thanks to a John
:16:03. > :16:05.Lundstram goal in the 21st minute. In an eventful match, Blackpool had
:16:06. > :16:11.three players sent off in extra time.
:16:12. > :16:16.A quarter of a century after he shot to fame, Eddie the Eagle is making a
:16:17. > :16:18.comeback. It was back in 1988 that Eddie, who's from Cheltenham, became
:16:19. > :16:25.Britain's first Olympic ski`jumper when he threw himself down a 90`foot
:16:26. > :16:29.ski`jump in Calgary. Now he's planning on getting his skis back on
:16:30. > :16:33.and performing at one of the highlights of the ski`jump season in
:16:34. > :16:37.Germany. Well, earlier today, I spoke to Eddie and began by asking
:16:38. > :16:43.him why he wanted to do it all again.
:16:44. > :16:52.I have always had this inkling that I wanted to get back on the jumps
:16:53. > :16:56.and my wings were clipped early on. While I am still young enough to get
:16:57. > :17:01.the skis on, I want to see if I can get on the jumps 26 years later. I'm
:17:02. > :17:05.sure you are young enough but you have got quite a good significant
:17:06. > :17:07.birthday coming up and you are owing to be competing against people who
:17:08. > :17:14.are whippersnappers. How is your fitness? I'm probably lighter now
:17:15. > :17:18.than I was 26 years ago, so the fitness side isn't so difficult.
:17:19. > :17:18.than I was 26 years ago, so the fitness side isn't so difficult The
:17:19. > :17:22.fitness side isn't so difficult. The psychological side, I have been
:17:23. > :17:26.imagining myself doing a jump over the last few weeks, so that will be
:17:27. > :17:31.OK. I'm not competing against the whippersnappers, I will be going
:17:32. > :17:36.down first, making sure the speed is OK for the other jumpers to go down
:17:37. > :17:39.and do their business. I would love to be able to compete against them
:17:40. > :17:47.but that would be in possible now for a 50`year old like me. Are you
:17:48. > :17:55.spurred on by the diving programme you took part in? It was on ITV
:17:56. > :17:56.earlier this year. You won it! I did win it. That was an inspiration.
:17:57. > :18:01.win it. That was an inspiration Standing on the edge of that board
:18:02. > :18:06.and diving in, I thought there were still life in the old dog yet and
:18:07. > :18:12.I'm still able to do the business and so when this opportunity came in
:18:13. > :18:15.and asked if I would like to jump in this New Year's Day jump, I jumped
:18:16. > :18:20.at the chance, literally! My skis are in the attic, I got them down
:18:21. > :18:25.and I will see if I can do the business again 26 years later. You
:18:26. > :18:32.are having a go next week! They wouldn't want me to do it without
:18:33. > :18:37.training and so I will try to get out next week and get a couple of
:18:38. > :18:38.weeks training in, work my way back up to the 125 metre ski jump and
:18:39. > :18:44.then go for it. He is brilliant. then go for it. He is brilliant
:18:45. > :18:47.Happy birthday for tomorrow! What could possibly go wrong?

:18:50. > :18:56.and presenter,= Carol Carol Vorderman. She passed her
:18:57. > :19:00.flying exam to become a pilot. Decades ago, Carol tried to join the
:19:01. > :19:03.RAF as a trainee but, at that time, they didn't take women. So, today,

:19:44. > :19:49.didn't take women in the 70s and when I graduated, British Airways
:19:50. > :19:54.close their training school down, so I went and got in a factory in
:19:55. > :19:58.Lowestoft instead! Next year, the real training will start as she
:19:59. > :20:01.tries to get her commercial licence. She wishes to follow in the process
:20:02. > :20:20.of Amelia at heart. The first woman to do it then and
:20:21. > :20:25.now she has done it again, alone. Amelia was also passionate about
:20:26. > :20:27.women learning to fly. Carol's instructor and the owner of the
:20:28. > :20:32.flying school hope more women will become pilots. It is something not a
:20:33. > :20:37.lot of women do, not because they cannot do it but because they do not
:20:38. > :20:40.think of doing it. It does not occur to them that they can do it. They
:20:41. > :20:49.buy lessons for their husbands but they did buy them `` they don't buy
:20:50. > :20:52.them for themselves. Carol hopes she will encourage others to take to the
:20:53. > :21:01.skies. Her next dream is to fly solo around the world. She will do it, I
:21:02. > :21:05.have no doubt! Congratulations! Now, it's back after being a huge
:21:06. > :21:08.hit last Christmas. It's this ` The Knitivity ` a life`sized version of
:21:09. > :21:13.the Nativity, made by a group of women who've dubbed themselves The
:21:14. > :21:16.Knutty Knitters. And after 12 months out of the spotlight, the needles
:21:17. > :21:20.have been going 19 to the dozen again and they've created three new
:21:21. > :21:30.woolly characters ` an angel, a camel and a donkey. And two of the
:21:31. > :21:36.Knutty Knitters, Alison Spurrell and Julia Worth, join us now. These are
:21:37. > :21:38.massive! Lots of people will remember them from last year but
:21:39. > :21:43.those people who have seen them for the first time, what is there
:21:44. > :21:49.reaction? It is usually that they did not think they would be six feet
:21:50. > :21:58.tall. How hard is it is at all? There cannot be a pattern. No,
:21:59. > :22:02.definitely not. What is new this year? The new characters are the
:22:03. > :22:03.donkey, the camel and the angel. year? The new characters are the
:22:04. > :22:11.donkey, the camel and the angel. And donkey, the camel and the angel. And
:22:12. > :22:16.someone was asking about the size of the angel. We did not know about the
:22:17. > :22:20.size of the angel, so that is how we would do it. Tell us about this
:22:21. > :22:24.little fellow. This is a donkey You little fellow. This is a donkey You
:22:25. > :22:33.don't see too many like that on Western sands. It has had a mixed
:22:34. > :22:45.reaction, hasn't it? People either love him or hate him. Most people
:22:46. > :22:51.love him. Most people can see this out and about, where? We are on tour
:22:52. > :23:01.around Bristol. We're at the cat macro crib `` Crib festival. We are
:23:02. > :23:08.going to shopping centres and schools. Just reminders why you
:23:09. > :23:15.doing it. We are doing it for Saint Peters Hospice. There are six of us
:23:16. > :23:24.from the school where she taught you are the Knutty Knitters. Do you use
:23:25. > :23:37.large needles? You need loads of stitches. Are they machine washable?
:23:38. > :23:42.We have tried! Any more for next year or is your stable complete? The
:23:43. > :23:48.stable is complete, yes. How much have you raised? We raised almost
:23:49. > :23:55.8000 last year, we are aiming for 10,000 this year. Can people diving
:23:56. > :24:01.and have been pictured taking with it? We ask if they have a donation
:24:02. > :24:06.if they take a photo. Some just take a picture as well. What is the star
:24:07. > :24:19.of the show? I think the camel this year. Thank you, ladies. Because you
:24:20. > :24:29.are here, we have no room at the inn. Ian has been kicked out onto
:24:30. > :24:32.the roof. Indeed I have. I could do with a
:24:33. > :24:36.scarf because temperatures are getting chilly as we get onto in
:24:37. > :24:41.these night. These guys have been clearing today and that legacy means
:24:42. > :24:47.that as we run into tonight, we will see a chilly picture compared to the
:24:48. > :24:50.last night. That said, any fog will be kept at bay because the wind will
:24:51. > :24:56.be picking up, which will be noticeable through tomorrow, albeit
:24:57. > :24:59.most of the day should be dry. We will start to see chariot breaks
:25:00. > :25:03.later in the evening. This is how things are set up for now. A benign
:25:04. > :25:09.pattern as we go through tonight but those isobars tighten and we see
:25:10. > :25:12.severe conditions in northern parts tomorrow. Some newsworthy weather
:25:13. > :25:17.there. All genetic, we on the other side of that. It will be windy but
:25:18. > :25:25.not exceptionally so. That cold front slips South, bringing in some
:25:26. > :25:29.cold air. Tonight, a dry picture. You will see the blue appearing on
:25:30. > :25:35.the picture there, showing us getting down towards zero quite
:25:36. > :25:38.quickly. A variable cloud appearing as we head through towards daybreak.
:25:39. > :25:42.The breeze picks up and temperatures at the lowest getting down to
:25:43. > :25:48.freezing away from the coast and they will be some spots where we get
:25:49. > :25:52.down to `1 and `2. Chilly and breezy start tomorrow. The best of the
:25:53. > :25:56.brightness will be in the morning was up through the afternoon, there
:25:57. > :26:03.will be more cloud around and eventually that will start to bring
:26:04. > :26:10.in the showers. There comes that cold front. The showers will be
:26:11. > :26:16.fragmented. The winds tomorrow Gustard 45 mph, quite different to
:26:17. > :26:25.the weather recently. That said, temperatures will be around eight up
:26:26. > :26:28.to ten Celsius. We're on the western boundary of that cold front so as we
:26:29. > :26:32.had through into Friday, we reverse all of that trend. The nasty weather
:26:33. > :26:36.towards the North Sea heads away from us and the more benign
:26:37. > :26:39.conditions reappear as high pressure dominates the story once again from
:26:40. > :26:44.the south east as we head through the weekend. There is no letup of
:26:45. > :26:49.that pattern for quite a number of days ahead. It could be another two
:26:50. > :26:51.weeks or so of sitting under high pressure with very similar
:26:52. > :26:57.conditions to the ones we have seen lately. Interesting to see how the
:26:58. > :27:01.temperatures respond to a southerly flow as well.
:27:02. > :27:04.Now it's time to continue our countdown to Christmas and open
:27:05. > :27:07.another window on the Points West advent calendar. Every weekday
:27:08. > :27:11.night, we're choosing a festive picture sent in by one of you of a
:27:12. > :27:18.wintry or Christmassy West Country scene. Today, it's a picture taken
:27:19. > :27:23.by Duncan Palmer in Somerset and he's named it Swan Lake. We've
:27:24. > :27:27.received so many fantastic pictures, so thank you so much for getting in
:27:28. > :27:29.touch. If you've got one that you'd like to be considered, then our
:27:30. > :27:45.email address is on the screen. Some very talented photographers out
:27:46. > :27:46.there. That is it. I will be back at 10pm, otherwise you tomorrow.
:27:47. > :27:48.Goodbye.
