:01:52. > :01:56.prosecution has asked for 16 years in prison. Today, as her defence
:01:57. > :02:07.began outlining their case, Andrea Waldeck was visibly emotional as she
:02:08. > :02:13.asked for leniency. You said she was sorry for how much she has
:02:14. > :02:19.disappointed herself, her family and her country, and said shopping is a

:03:03. > :03:05.It's being claimed that the government's controversial cull of
:03:06. > :03:08.badgers cost millions more than expected. Figures from a wildlife
:03:09. > :03:11.charity suggest each badger shot in Somerset and Gloucestershire last
:03:12. > :03:14.Autumn cost more than ?4,000. Here's our political editor, Paul Barltrop.
:03:15. > :03:17.What price a dead badger? We know far fewer animals than planned were
:03:18. > :03:19.shot in Somerset and Gloucestershire during last Autumn's cull. Official
:03:20. > :03:22.targets were repeatedly missed, even as extra time and resources were
:03:23. > :03:27.allowed. Now detailed estimates for the amount spent are emerging.
:03:28. > :03:32.According to the charity Care for the Wild, carrying out the cull cost
:03:33. > :03:34.farmers ?1.49 million. Policing it cost the Gloucestershire and Avon
:03:35. > :03:39.and Somerset forces ?2.6 million, money they should get back from the
:03:40. > :03:45.Home Office. And other government expenses are reckoned to reach 3.2
:03:46. > :03:49.million. The total for just the first year of the cull is over 7
:03:50. > :04:00.million. We've done our own research and these figures look credible
:04:01. > :04:08.Taxpayers have had really bad for it. The expense of coal on record.
:04:09. > :04:13.If you look at the Welsh, but that did all those animals for 1.2
:04:14. > :04:17.million It's very disappointing for the government. Ministers have long
:04:18. > :04:20.talked about the cost to the country of bovine TB. They said the cull
:04:21. > :04:23.would help dent the disease and bring down the billion`pound bill
:04:24. > :04:27.but today's figures suggest it could actually end up costing taxpayers
:04:28. > :04:30.more. Part of the problem was that the techniques used to shoot badgers
:04:31. > :04:39.proved problematic. The National Farmers Union recently hinted there
:04:40. > :04:44.would be changes. Will have learnt a phenomenal and out with the two
:04:45. > :04:58.pilots and it would mean that when we go forward, with the fifth and

:05:02. > :05:04.weeks when leading scientists produce a report for the government,
:05:05. > :05:26.giving an expert view on how this costly cull is going.
:05:27. > :05:33.If Overnight wind and rain brought more misery for many across the
:05:34. > :05:36.West. Though not as bad as some had feared, the flood waters have taken
:05:37. > :05:43.over farmland, houses and shops closed roads and cut off villages.
:05:44. > :05:47.If There are still flood alerts and some warnings in all parts of our
:05:48. > :05:50.region this evening. The Environment Agency has flood warnings in place
:05:51. > :05:53.along rivers like the Severn, Avon, Yeo, Frome and Parrett, with more
:05:54. > :06:01.water expected in rivers that are already overflowing. In
:06:02. > :06:03.Gloucestershire, water levels on the River Severn are high, especially
:06:04. > :06:09.around Tewkesbury and Minsterworth, where businesses have been counting
:06:10. > :06:12.the cost of the floods. In Wiltshire, rising river levels and
:06:13. > :06:15.surface water have proved problematic for motorists over the
:06:16. > :06:22.last few days, although flood waters are receding. And in Somerset, in
:06:23. > :06:24.some of the worst affected areas, like Muchelney, people are
:06:25. > :06:32.completely cut off and relying on boats for vital supplies. Our
:06:33. > :06:43.reporter, Fiona Lamdin, has been on the Somerset Levels all day and
:06:44. > :06:50.joins us now. This is the sixth night for the community. They are
:06:51. > :06:56.three quarters of a mile up this road that is fast turning into a
:06:57. > :07:03.steady river. You can see and lapping here. Right now, but not
:07:04. > :07:08.required, but today, this resembled many mini port pedal boats bringing
:07:09. > :07:17.food and prescriptions making nine or ten journeys. This isn't the only
:07:18. > :07:24.community affected by flooding. An unusual commute to work. But with
:07:25. > :07:29.the main road deep underwater, a tractor seems the best option. We
:07:30. > :07:40.are getting into very deep water now. Only bought. If you, they used
:07:41. > :07:42.to hire out wedding dresses. What do you, they used to hire out wedding
:07:43. > :07:57.dresses. Of the you, that entire collection was written into the
:07:58. > :08:18.door, things are good for the birth there is not a lot you can do. This
:08:19. > :08:24.road which has turned into a fast flowing river. It has been cut off
:08:25. > :08:25.for the last week, and for the first time today for the supplies were
:08:26. > :08:38.taken by a third. Unloading on the other side, much
:08:39. > :08:46.needed prescriptions were among the cargo. And here come the fittest
:08:47. > :08:54.sense of how deep his water releases. As the wind picked up and
:08:55. > :08:59.the Waterbury choppy, search and rescue decided to pull out. But one
:09:00. > :09:04.man and his boat refused to leave into all supplies are being
:09:05. > :09:11.delivered. He normally drives taxis. Today he became a hero for those
:09:12. > :09:19.stranded on the island. Two more trips today. We are running out of
:09:20. > :09:23.daylight. Jarrod had thought of everything. You will see he even
:09:24. > :09:28.bought his own stepladder to deal with the deep waters. With heavy
:09:29. > :09:35.rain forecast overnight, this river looks set to keep on rising.
:09:36. > :09:57.Elsewhere, there is still a chance of flash floods of Severn and
:09:58. > :10:22.the new way round the yes, it is varying them back and forward the

:10:50. > :11:11.decision to make. But either water. If they are now on the
:11:12. > :11:23.it is a part of life. We just hope it doesn't flood again. Back at the
:11:24. > :11:29.river seven this evening, the final weight home after a day at school.
:11:30. > :11:34.The river is still bursting over its bank here. The problem is not the
:11:35. > :11:39.tide, it is all the rain water coming down from higher ground
:11:40. > :11:51.further up. Even in the last hour, we have seen torrential downpours
:11:52. > :11:58.here. The skies above me right now are clear. In fact I can see the
:11:59. > :12:02.moon, but the forecast for tonight is the more heavy rain. Search and
:12:03. > :12:12.rescue me to take one of the residents to hospital.
:12:13. > :12:17.Two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after
:12:18. > :12:20.a man was found with several stab injuries at a property in
:12:21. > :12:23.Weston`super`Mare. Police say they were called to a building on Alfred
:12:24. > :12:27.Street around 11pm yesterday following a disturbance. The man
:12:28. > :12:32.remains in a critical condition An 18`year`old and a 41`year`old man
:12:33. > :12:35.are being questioned. Police in Wiltshire are

:13:01. > :13:04.be studied by police and other agencies who work with young people
:13:05. > :13:08.in Gloucester. The number of gangs in the city is in double figures and
:13:09. > :13:11.work is being done to try and tackle the problem. The new diploma will
:13:12. > :13:14.give those working with gangs a better understanding of the issues.
:13:15. > :13:26.Here's our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve Knibbs.
:13:27. > :13:30.A former member of one of Gloucester's biggest gangs. It's
:13:31. > :13:34.easy to see how vulnerable people are attracted. The police's avenger
:13:35. > :13:50.task force is targetting them to encourage them to change. Thanks
:13:51. > :13:58.very much hour days. Most of these young people have issues of the
:13:59. > :14:01.acting is something that it was built to. Police work alongside drug
:14:02. > :14:05.agencies, social workers and housing associations to tackle gangs. Now a
:14:06. > :14:14.new gang diploma is will be used to help them understand the issues
:14:15. > :14:25.Social work comes with a protection of children ethic. Putting it
:14:26. > :14:30.together in a poor academic and robot on games we are from the same

:14:34. > :14:43.knowing who they are, so a screening tool will be used to spot the signs.
:14:44. > :14:47.Family history and that is in family members and it combines with two
:14:48. > :14:51.factors. The gang behind this and a string of other armed robberies in
:14:52. > :14:54.Bristol were jailed in 2010. Peter Miles was one of them. Now out on
:14:55. > :14:57.licence, he works to stop criminals re`offending. He welcomes the
:14:58. > :15:11.diploma because fully understanding gang culture will be better for
:15:12. > :15:19.those caught in it. First to say, I need to do it big now. What we do to
:15:20. > :15:22.change that? Gang culture in Gloucestershire isn't yet a serious
:15:23. > :15:25.problem but the potential is there. This diploma one of many measures
:15:26. > :15:32.being used to prevent it spiralling out of control.
:15:33. > :15:35.There are warnings that fruit producers in the West could suffer
:15:36. > :15:39.after new rules about immigration came into force over the New Year.
:15:40. > :15:44.Workers from Romania and Bulgaria regularly travel here each summer to
:15:45. > :15:48.pick fruit. But from now on, people from those countries can come to the
:15:49. > :15:52.UK to work all year round and some farmers are concerned that will mean
:15:53. > :15:53.the best workers will opt for full`time jobs rather than the
:15:54. > :16:14.seasonal work. Laura Jones reports. It's a hot topic whenever the
:16:15. > :16:23.subject of increased immigration comes up. Six days ago, on January
:16:24. > :16:27.first, the rules about migration in the European Union changed. People
:16:28. > :16:32.from Romania and Bulgaria are now free to live and work here in the
:16:33. > :16:35.UK. The changes prompted the usual questions about how many people from
:16:36. > :16:38.those countries would come and what that would mean, but also some more
:16:39. > :16:47.unusual questions about the knock`on effect it could have here in the
:16:48. > :16:50.West. Yionuts Chupietu is from Romania but he's been working here
:16:51. > :16:54.on and off for seven years, helping to harvest raspberries on a farm in
:16:55. > :16:58.Somerset. He's a qualified accountant but has been working here
:16:59. > :17:01.on a temporary seasonal visa. The worry for his employer is that
:17:02. > :17:05.because workers like Yunitz will no longer need any work permit, they
:17:06. > :17:13.will seek more permanent work here instead. If I were to January, they
:17:14. > :17:20.can be in the UK, working as long as they like. The temptation will be
:17:21. > :17:22.for the better people to search for full`time jobs. A leading migration
:17:23. > :17:28.expert in Bristol, though, says those fears may prove to be
:17:29. > :17:36.unfounded. Workers who have come in the past on the seasonal schemes can
:17:37. > :17:42.still come under the existing system. They may be tempted into the
:17:43. > :17:47.lines of work, but I would think that so long as the wages are right
:17:48. > :17:52.and the conditions are right, it is still a very attractive option for
:17:53. > :17:55.numbers of Eastern European workers to come and work in agriculture in
:17:56. > :17:58.the UK. No`one knows how many Romanians and Bulgarians will take
:17:59. > :18:02.advantage of the new rules but the hope here on the farm is that the
:18:03. > :18:06.pickers keep on coming. And you can see the full story when
:18:07. > :18:13.Inside Out West returns for a new series at 7:30pm here on BBC One.
:18:14. > :18:16.Bristol City will become the first British football team to play in
:18:17. > :18:20.Botswana when they head there for pre`season training later this year.
:18:21. > :18:24.The African country's high commissioner was at the club today
:18:25. > :18:33.to discuss the tour. City will play a mini tournament in the country in
:18:34. > :18:42.July as well visiting local schools. It's a lovely country. Great people.
:18:43. > :18:51.They are football mad as well. A really good preseason tour.
:18:52. > :18:55.Something to really look forward to. And Bristol City's FA Cup replay
:18:56. > :18:58.with Watford will take place a week tomorrow. The winners could be away
:18:59. > :19:00.to Premier League Manchester City if THEY win their replay with
:19:01. > :19:04.Blackburn. Rugby. Bath players Anthony Watson
:19:05. > :19:07.and George Ford improved their chances of a first England call`up
:19:08. > :19:13.with eye`catching performances in yesterday's nail`biting draw against
:19:14. > :19:16.Leicester. 19`year`old Watson scored one of the tries that helped Bath
:19:17. > :19:19.establish a ten`point lead over the reigning champions, which they
:19:20. > :19:27.surrendered as the game finished 27`27. Alistair Durden reports.
:19:28. > :19:32.Bath haven't won at Welford Road for ten years. With 11 wins out of their
:19:33. > :19:36.last 12 games, many sensed this was their best shot. England's coaches
:19:37. > :19:40.are keeping a close eye on Bath s talented back`line. The speedy
:19:41. > :19:49.Anthony Watson is certainly on their radar. He glided in to score their
:19:50. > :19:54.first try. Young fly`half George Ford is another who could also get a
:19:55. > :19:59.first call`up. He set up Francois Louw for Bath's next score, putting
:20:00. > :20:02.them in front. Ford, who's been in sparkling form since moving from
:20:03. > :20:09.Leicester, then put in another England prospect Jonothan Joseph
:20:10. > :20:14.under the posts. It gave Bath a 10`point lead with half an hour
:20:15. > :20:17.still to go. But when Bath's captain Stuart Hooper was sin`binned,
:20:18. > :20:20.Leicester fought back. Thomas Waldrom cut the lead and then with
:20:21. > :20:28.the last play of the match, Bath were denied a famous victory as
:20:29. > :20:32.Jamie Gibson made it to the corner. Owen Williams had the chance to win
:20:33. > :20:37.it for Leicester but his conversion sailed wide. While Bath couldn't
:20:38. > :20:39.hold on for a landmark win, this was further evidence that they're a
:20:40. > :20:50.growing force which could be recognised when the latest England
:20:51. > :20:53.squad is named on Thursday. Now for a story of a bride's wish
:20:54. > :20:59.and the online community coming to her rescue. After finding out her
:21:00. > :21:02.dad was terminally ill, a woman from Swindon appealed on Facebook for a
:21:03. > :21:08.wedding dress so she could bring the ceremony forward. Her dream was to
:21:09. > :21:13.have her dad walk her down the aisle. Well, Facebook went wild and
:21:14. > :21:19.in the end, the whole wedding was donated by the good people of
:21:20. > :21:23.Swindon. Sally Challoner was there. It's a moment Gary Savory thought he
:21:24. > :21:28.might not live to see, walking his daughter Hayley up the aisle. But
:21:29. > :21:33.this wedding was put together in just a month, thanks to the Facebook
:21:34. > :21:37.community. Hayley's friends Louise and Mark put out an appeal after she
:21:38. > :21:41.said she wanted the wedding to be earlier so her dad could be there to
:21:42. > :21:46.give her away. But weddings are expensive and there's so much to do.
:21:47. > :21:53.But in just days, they were overwhelmed with offers of help
:21:54. > :22:07.Everything you see, everyone has donated. Just before Christmas,
:22:08. > :22:11.everybody saw something on Facebook. Do you know what? I've got a free
:22:12. > :22:21.Church and not doing anything on that Monday. Let's see they want to
:22:22. > :22:33.get married in the church. It made for a very special day for father
:22:34. > :22:42.and daughter. I didn't think he would be here today but he is doing
:22:43. > :22:49.it. After a difficult night and morning, Gary was able to hand
:22:50. > :23:03.Hayley to his new son`in`law, Will. Everyone who has helped make this
:23:04. > :23:12.day is to reflect. Wonderful. I didn't think I would make it today.
:23:13. > :23:18.I wasn't feeling too good on my feet this morning. But I made it. If ever
:23:19. > :23:19.there was a day to celebrate old traditions fused with new
:23:20. > :23:38.technology, it was this. Now, just before we go to Ian, we
:23:39. > :23:43.thought we'd bring you some of the most dramatic pictures of the power
:23:44. > :23:46.of the elements from the last week. These shots from across the West
:23:47. > :25:13.show some of the rage and beauty of our weather.
:25:14. > :25:23.Although the images were beautiful, over the next few days, the key
:25:24. > :25:31.emphasis will be to drag that threat further out towards the east and
:25:32. > :25:36.south`east. It will take a while to get to that stage, though.
:25:37. > :25:47.Tomorrow, another windy day. Heavy showers around. All courtesy of low
:25:48. > :25:54.pressure close at hand. For some of you, drier and brighter faces. The
:25:55. > :26:04.threat of further, more meaningful heavy rain starting to push up
:26:05. > :26:11.towards the south coast. Still some heavy showers around for many of you
:26:12. > :26:17.at the moment. As we run through the night, it remains windy and showery.
:26:18. > :26:23.You will see these clusters of heavy showers around daybreak tomorrow. A
:26:24. > :26:30.lot of those will show its hand in Dorset, South Wiltshire and
:26:31. > :26:38.Somerset. Temperatures would be particularly cold tonight. Tomorrow
:26:39. > :26:44.will be a windy day. But further northwards, the showers will tend to
:26:45. > :26:49.be fewer and further between. You will notice a window with less
:26:50. > :26:53.showers anyway. But as we run through towards the tail end of the
:26:54. > :26:58.day, we start to introduce this next feature from the south. It
:26:59. > :27:04.introduces the threat of this more heavy cluster of rain. We will have
:27:05. > :27:15.to keep in mind that. Temperatures tomorrow will be mild, despite the
:27:16. > :27:19.wind. A further, showery story. If you want to know more, follow Ian
