:00:48. > :00:50.Welcome to BBC Points West with Sabet Choudhury and Alex Lovell. Our
:00:51. > :00:53.Sabet Choudhury and Alex Lovell Our main story tonight: Is Bristol's
:00:54. > :00:56.drinking culture out of control? Bristol's drunks get a makeshift
:00:57. > :00:59.hospital to scoop them off the pavements. It's the first drunk tank
:01:00. > :01:02.outside London ` but who's picking up the tab? We all are.
:01:03. > :01:04.Also on tonight's prgamme. Why a plane crashed into a garden in
:01:05. > :01:07.Cheltenham. The injured West soldiers nearing
:01:08. > :01:09.their goal of reaching the South Pole.
:01:10. > :01:22.And restoring the landscape of a National Trust gem ` by cutting down
:01:23. > :01:25.the trees. Paramedics in Bristol are setting up an emergency treatment
:01:26. > :01:29.centre for Christmas party goers who drink to the point of collapsing.
:01:30. > :01:34.They and the police are promising it won't be a hotel for drunks ` rather
:01:35. > :01:39.a camp bed and a chance to sober up. Scott Ellis is at Bristol's
:01:40. > :01:48.harbour`side for us now, Scott? The harbour`side's busy ` it's the run
:01:49. > :01:58.up to Christmas. Your entry more on facilitate you can then on a
:01:59. > :02:04.stretcher. Excessively drunk people are a
:02:05. > :02:07.burden on the NHS. From this Friday drunks in Bristol will be driven to
:02:08. > :02:14.a makeshift room staffed by paramedics. They will get a field
:02:15. > :02:23.bed, medical attention, and time to sober up. We saw some 17 patients
:02:24. > :02:29.throughout the night which saved 17 ambulances and many hospital beds.
:02:30. > :02:35.It allowed as to focus those resources. A single ambulance does
:02:36. > :02:43.the rounds to a temporary treatment room staff by three paramedic.
:02:44. > :02:51.Drinkers approved. The whole context as goods. I see a lot of people that
:02:52. > :02:56.cannot handle what they are doing. I have been a teenager before. We have
:02:57. > :03:05.all done it. It is a good idea. It is a waste of money. Get the drugs
:03:06. > :03:09.off the street. Keep them somewhere safe and warm so they do not die in
:03:10. > :03:17.the gutter as I would have done on Saturday night. The term drunk tank
:03:18. > :03:22.is used in the United States. Here it will be cold a recovery centre.
:03:23. > :03:27.Before leaving they will be interviewed by police about how much
:03:28. > :03:33.they have drunk and where. Custody might be the better route but
:03:34. > :03:38.long`term it is about getting them the care they need if they have a
:03:39. > :03:43.problem to alcohol. Bars found to be serving people already drunk will be
:03:44. > :03:46.targeted by the police. The plan is to run the centre on six days over
:03:47. > :03:51.Christmas. It will be funded only NHS although senior police officers
:03:52. > :03:58.are keen for such bunker tanks to be privately funded and the drunks
:03:59. > :04:00.charged ?400 per night. There are sound medical reasons for
:04:01. > :04:06.having the drunk tank but some people think but still has a place
:04:07. > :04:09.with a drink problem. We will talk to an alcohol addiction expert. Does
:04:10. > :04:15.this drug tank prove that things have gone too far? We are drinking a
:04:16. > :04:21.lot of alcohol as a nation. We are drinking too much alcohol. That is
:04:22. > :04:24.causing us a lot of money. Has Bristol got a specific problem with
:04:25. > :04:31.all the bars along the harbour side? There is a sense that Bristol does
:04:32. > :04:39.have a problem. We need to be doing more about it. Does opening a drug
:04:40. > :04:43.tank encourage people to drink more. Hopefully not. The steeds to be one
:04:44. > :04:52.of the policies in association with other policies. Nationally we have
:04:53. > :04:56.dropped the minimum price for alcohol. We introduced that
:04:57. > :05:00.something locally. What about the big drinks companies? Should they
:05:01. > :05:08.pay for the drug tank? Absolutely. There should be a contribution. Do
:05:09. > :05:13.we overstate the problem? Some research says that Debbie but are
:05:14. > :05:16.drinking less than you and I. Alcohol kills more people in the UK
:05:17. > :05:24.than all the other driver skills together.
:05:25. > :05:37.The drug tank proved that beds were freed at. Money was saved.
:05:38. > :05:41.A Bristol man has been found guilty of killing his four `month`old
:05:42. > :05:47.daughter. He had admitted shaking the baby but the night manslaughter.
:05:48. > :05:54.His partner denied or zinc or allowing her daughter 's death. ``
:05:55. > :06:02.denied causing or allowing. She was acquitted.
:06:03. > :06:08.The baby was just 16 weeks old when she died. Her father admitted in
:06:09. > :06:17.court he had shaken the baby but denied he had meant to harm her. He
:06:18. > :06:18.was found guilty of manslaughter. A recording was played of an emotional
:06:19. > :06:52.999 call. The baby was brought to this
:06:53. > :06:55.hospital. When she was examined by doctors she was found to be
:06:56. > :07:06.suffering from catastrophic head injuries. Three days later she died
:07:07. > :07:09.from being damaged. Often in a fit of anger someone
:07:10. > :07:18.shakes them vigorously and the head will jiggle accurate and performers.
:07:19. > :07:28.That movement will trigger findings. `` the head will jiggle backwards
:07:29. > :07:39.and four words. It will cause brain damage.
:07:40. > :07:44.The prosecutor said that the one of the parents had caused the brain
:07:45. > :07:51.damage. The father was described as having
:07:52. > :08:00.learning difficulties and was a regular drug taker.
:08:01. > :08:07.One of the witnesses said the couple were always rowing.
:08:08. > :08:10.Eventually the mother won a court order preventing the father from
:08:11. > :08:19.visiting her or the baby. During the trial there was evidence of a series
:08:20. > :08:28.of agreements. The council refused to be interviewed about those
:08:29. > :08:32.agreements. Although the serious case review has been completed the
:08:33. > :08:37.council will not make it public until the New Year.
:08:38. > :08:45.The judge said that the father of the baby will be sentenced tomorrow.
:08:46. > :08:48.The man who stabbed a Bristol teenager to death has been jailed
:08:49. > :08:51.for life. 17`year`old Jake Milton, from Bedminster, was killed in
:08:52. > :08:54.Knowle West this summer. 18`year`old Lewis Talbot was told he would serve
:08:55. > :08:57.a minimum of 16 years. 20`year`old Nathan Warburton has been sentenced
:08:58. > :09:01.to nine years for manslaughter for his part in Mr Milton's death.
:09:02. > :09:04.A 14`year`old girl's been left with a torn ear and severe swelling to
:09:05. > :09:11.her face, after being repeatedly kicked in the head by a gang of
:09:12. > :09:14.girls in Swindon. Police have described the attack, at a bus stop
:09:15. > :09:22.on Fleming Way on Tuesday evening, as vicious. Three people have been
:09:23. > :09:26.arrested. An inquest into the deaths of seven
:09:27. > :09:32.people killed in a motorway crash will take place next year. If you
:09:33. > :09:36.think will resume in March. It follows the acquittal of the man in
:09:37. > :09:38.charge of a fireworks display on the night of the crash.
:09:39. > :09:41.Investigators have found a plane which made an emergency landing by
:09:42. > :09:44.parachute into back gardens in Cheltenham came down because the
:09:45. > :09:47.pilot was confused and distracted. The small aircraft was heading for
:09:48. > :10:00.Gloucestershire airport when the pilot misunderstood the automatic
:10:01. > :10:05.settings. Andrew Plant reports. A giant parachute falling from the
:10:06. > :10:23.sky. It is a plain suspended underneath. The residents captured a
:10:24. > :10:27.small aeroplane. It crashed through the trees in their back gardens
:10:28. > :10:34.Inside the single engined light aircraft a 76`year`old pilot who
:10:35. > :10:38.walked away unharmed. He'd been flying from Denham Aerodrome heading
:10:39. > :10:41.for Gloucestershire Airport. But as he approached his runway He lost
:10:42. > :10:46.control and deployed the parachute system in the skies above Langdale
:10:47. > :10:49.Road. After lining up for landing and switching on his autopilot he'd
:10:50. > :10:58.then switched it off to adjust the plane. When he switched it back on
:10:59. > :11:00.it was in a different mode ` trying to continue to turn. Today the Air
:11:01. > :11:05.Accident Investigation Branch released its report. It said the
:11:06. > :11:08.unnamed pilot did not notice that the autopilot was operating in
:11:09. > :11:10.different modes from before, that the pilot was confused and
:11:11. > :11:13.distracted by the unexpected aircraft behaviour, and that he
:11:14. > :11:20.deployed the aircraft ballistic recovery system after he became
:11:21. > :11:24.disorientated. This type of plane ` the SR22 built
:11:25. > :11:29.by Cirrus aircraft ` weighs just over a tonne. Popular with charter
:11:30. > :11:32.companies and private pilots alike, every model is fitted with the
:11:33. > :11:36.parachute which almost certainly saved the life of the pilot in this
:11:37. > :11:46.crash in June and potentially more lives in the streets below.
:11:47. > :12:13.It's only 13 days to Christmas. The cube Cinema in Bristol had only
:12:14. > :12:31.three weeks to find the cash to survive.
:12:32. > :12:34.Their Gloucestershire firm which operated the helicopter which
:12:35. > :12:54.crashed into a Glasgow pub has grounded 22 of the same aircraft.
:12:55. > :13:04.In bat and North East Somerset the council has put plans to close
:13:05. > :13:19.public toilet blocks on hold. A peep a smart card for `` a PPA smart card
:13:20. > :13:30.will be trialled. The city council is working with bus operators.
:13:31. > :13:46.Somerset council has rejected an idea to take over debts speed
:13:47. > :13:49.cameras. Yesterday Bristol's mayor said the
:13:50. > :13:59.city would be working with the police to switch 26 cameras back on.
:14:00. > :14:04.Sarah`Jane Bungay has more. Nick Gargan put his thoughts in
:14:05. > :14:15.writing to five local authorities. With Bacon said turning the camera
:14:16. > :14:29.is back on `` rued the consider turning the camera is back on? The
:14:30. > :14:34.cameras we have are so old that they would be of no use. We would prefer

:14:46. > :14:47.People can have them for nothing because they are only worth scrap

:15:31. > :15:36.could be a small surplus generated by turning the camera is back on. He
:15:37. > :15:40.said that could be turned into training qualified drivers.
:15:41. > :15:44.Two injured soldiers from the West are hoping to complete their
:15:45. > :15:54.challenge to walk to the South Pole tomorrow. Guy Disney and Kate Philp
:15:55. > :15:58.are amputees. They were both injured while serving in Afghanistan. They
:15:59. > :16:01.set off nine days ago as part of a team cold Walking With The Wounded.
:16:02. > :16:15.Alice Bouverie's been following their progress. We can see the end

:16:28. > :16:30.men, one woman, walking to the South Pole, all of them overcoming
:16:31. > :16:31.life`changing injuries. Kate Philp was hurt in Afghanistan in 2009.
:16:32. > :16:32.life`changing injuries. Kate Philp was hurt in Afghanistan in 2009 The
:16:33. > :16:35.was hurt in Afghanistan in 2009. The armoured vehicle she was commanding
:16:36. > :16:39.was hit by a roadside bomb and her leg had to be amputated below the
:16:40. > :16:47.knee. After 16 months of rehab, she returned to work for the Army at
:16:48. > :16:57.Bulford in Wiltshire. Skiing is easier than walking. But I have to
:16:58. > :17:01.check for any abrasions. Research on how prosthetic limbs
:17:02. > :17:06.would react to the cold was carried out on previous expeditions. Guy
:17:07. > :17:19.Disney from Stow on the Wold in Gloucestershire went to the North
:17:20. > :17:23.Pole in 2011. And this was just six months after he'd had his right leg
:17:24. > :17:24.amputated. He'd been hit by a rocket`propelled grenade, also in
:17:25. > :17:26.Afghanistan. A high`profile member of this latest

:17:30. > :17:36.He's patron of the trek, helping to raise thousands of pounds for
:17:37. > :17:40.charity. Everyone is feeling tired but we're getting into the rhythm.
:17:41. > :17:42.The challenge had originally started off as teams racing to the Pole. But
:17:43. > :17:42.The challenge had originally started off as teams racing to the Pole But
:17:43. > :17:45.off as teams racing to the Pole. But last weekend the race element was
:17:46. > :17:49.suspended for safety reasons. They're now all walking to the Pole
:17:50. > :18:00.as one group and hope to get there sometime tomorrow afternoon.
:18:01. > :18:03.Another team of volunteers who'd set themselves a challenging target this
:18:04. > :18:06.year have achieved their goal. The Cube Cinema in Bristol is a
:18:07. > :18:18.nonprofit arts centre run entirely by volunteers. They had until the
:18:19. > :18:22.end of this month to raise ?185,000 end of this month to raise ?185,000
:18:23. > :18:28.to buy their building and secure their future. And last night they
:18:29. > :18:34.did it. Will Glennon reports. The time it was passed with three weeks
:18:35. > :18:40.still to go. All being well this building will soon belong to its
:18:41. > :18:56.users. It has been run on love for the last years. Does not feel real.
:18:57. > :19:05.We have done it before the deadline. It is a celebration. From next year
:19:06. > :19:11.the cube will no longer pay rent so all the takings can go into the
:19:12. > :19:18.programmes. The ethos will not change. Staff work for free. It is
:19:19. > :19:25.about the quality of the events rather than making money. Because
:19:26. > :19:29.nobody gets paid everybody is here because they want to be here and
:19:30. > :19:37.because they love it. It has got a great atmosphere. What is even more
:19:38. > :19:43.impressive is how successful the appeal has been given the general
:19:44. > :19:54.economic climate. The arts have been capped heavily. It makes sustaining
:19:55. > :19:57.activity difficult. When they set out now one could be certain they
:19:58. > :20:08.would get there. It is fantastic that they have stopped.
:20:09. > :20:16.The arts council chipped and ?90,000. The rest came from
:20:17. > :20:24.donations from people. As the cube prepares for the next big chapter.
:20:25. > :20:27.Wildlife and adventure presenters are getting together in Bristol this
:20:28. > :20:36.weekend to raise money for those affected by the Typhoon in the
:20:37. > :20:39.Philippines. All the money raised from ticket sales will go to the
:20:40. > :20:41.charity Shelterbox, which is providing tents, cooking equipment
:20:42. > :20:50.and tools for rebuilding homes in the Philippines. It's the brainchild
:20:51. > :21:02.of Monty Halls and he joins us now. I wish I could say I was the
:21:03. > :21:06.inspirational figure. We were all horrified by the images. I thought
:21:07. > :21:07.it would be nice to do something. I had the idea of doing a lecture.
:21:08. > :21:14.it would be nice to do something. I had the idea of doing a lecture.
:21:15. > :21:19.That seed of an idea has blossomed into this large`scale event. Other
:21:20. > :21:36.wildlife presenters wanted to be involved. It is fantastic. These are
:21:37. > :22:06.the giants of presenting. Ben cold me. He wanted to be involved. Why
:22:07. > :22:09.did you choose Shelterbox? It is a local charity. One of the key things
:22:10. > :22:20.that people need out there is a home. Shelterbox provides that. They
:22:21. > :22:34.also provide tools in the box and toys for the kids. We are going to
:22:35. > :22:54.follow one box and tell the story of the family it helped.
:22:55. > :22:58.Thank you for coming in. The National Trust says it's reached
:22:59. > :23:00.a milestone moment in restoring the landscape at Woodchester Park in
:23:01. > :23:04.Gloucestershire. Hundreds of trees are being cut down in order to
:23:05. > :23:07.return the area to pasture ` as it was before many of the trees were
:23:08. > :23:11.planted for profit. Here's Jules Hyam.
:23:12. > :23:15.As far back as most of us can remember Woodchester park was
:23:16. > :23:21.woodland. Often a single species of tree lining the side of the valley.
:23:22. > :23:25.But as winter sets in the landscape is changing dramatically. Hundreds
:23:26. > :23:34.of trees are being felled. The scenery is being returned to the
:23:35. > :23:39.pasture it was a few centuries ago. It is a historic restoration
:23:40. > :23:53.project. It will also be tree seeding areas.
:23:54. > :24:03.The horseshoe bat is not a fan of dense forestation. 2000 trees are
:24:04. > :24:11.being put down. The landscape is being returned to the grassland it
:24:12. > :24:15.once was. You will get all sorts of flowers growing in the grassland.
:24:16. > :24:23.That will increase the number of bees and invertebrates. That will
:24:24. > :24:30.improve the diversity of the estate. All wildlife needs a helping hand.
:24:31. > :24:35.It will take some time to fully re`landscape the park. This part of
:24:36. > :24:43.the valley is already looking difference.
:24:44. > :24:52.If you want to find out more details of the event that Monty was talking
:24:53. > :25:02.about there are details online. Here is the weather. We are going to
:25:03. > :25:10.head into a night that will be noticeably mild. There will be
:25:11. > :25:35.outbreaks of rain. Some of those could be moderately heavy at times.
:25:36. > :25:41.A slightly drier slot. For the time being you can see the trend to
:25:42. > :25:54.increase the amount of distribution of that is evening wears on.
:25:55. > :26:02.It will be one of those nights where you can turn the central heating
:26:03. > :26:26.off. Tomorrow will start with patchy rain in the East.
:26:27. > :26:42.Behind that things. To brighten up. A temporary ridge of high pressure
:26:43. > :27:00.overnight into Saturday. There will be a ridge of high
:27:01. > :27:10.pressure on Saturday. Next week there will be more and settled
:27:11. > :27:17.weather. Time to open the door on our Advent
:27:18. > :27:32.calendar. It is a frozen calendar. `` are
