Good evening. A teenager who was stabbed to death in Bristol this

:00:11.:00:15.

week has been named as Nicholas Robinson ` a 19`year`old sttdent who

:00:16.:00:18.

lived in the city. Police are appealing for witnesses and say at

:00:19.:00:22.

this stage they don't know what the motive could have been. Michelle

:00:23.:00:26.

Ruminski reports. Recently engaged, Nicholas Robinson

:00:27.:00:28.

was training as a bricklayer until his life was cut short. It hs

:00:29.:00:38.

tragic, absolutely tragic. He is a 19`year`old boy, at the start of his

:00:39.:00:43.

life, studying to make a better life for himself, and that has all been

:00:44.:00:47.

taken away. He moved to Bristol from Birmingham three years ago `nd was

:00:48.:00:51.

living here in a flat in Ron Jones House in Jamaica Street. Police say

:00:52.:00:55.

he was stabbed several times in a communal stairway just before 8 30pm

:00:56.:00:58.

on Wednesday night. It's believed he then ran outside into this dnclosed

:00:59.:01:02.

parking area in Lower Gay Street. Despite the efforts of paraledics he

:01:03.:01:07.

died of his injuries. Three people arrested in connection with his

:01:08.:01:10.

death have been released on bail. Police say they don't know the

:01:11.:01:14.

motive and need the public's help to catch his killer. I am focusing on

:01:15.:01:23.

one particular person who w`s seen running away from Ron Jones House,

:01:24.:01:31.

and that is why I want anybody with any information on who that person

:01:32.:01:35.

might be to come forward. In fact they want to hear from anyone who

:01:36.:01:39.

was in the area that night ` who might have the vital piece of

:01:40.:01:42.

information they need to put Nicholas' attacker behind b`rs.

:01:43.:01:45.

Police have released CCTV ilages of a man they're looking for after a

:01:46.:01:48.

76`year`old woman was beaten about the head in her own home. Jdan

:01:49.:01:52.

Taylor was left bloodied and severely bruised after answdring the

:01:53.:01:55.

door to her attacker ` who then forced his way inside her Totterdown

:01:56.:02:00.

home on the 28th January. Police would like to talk to the m`n seen

:02:01.:02:04.

in this image ` who was in the area at the time of the attack.

:02:05.:02:08.

Volunteers from around the country are arriving to the Somerset village

:02:09.:02:11.

of Moorland to help with thd clear`up operation. More th`n 5 0

:02:12.:02:15.

people have signed up onlind to help ` shifting sandbags, moving wood and

:02:16.:02:18.

getting rid of everything that's been ruined. Scott Ellis has spent

:02:19.:02:21.

the day in Moorland. Soggy sandbags. Weighing up to 0

:02:22.:02:26.

kilogrammes each. In Moorland alone there are 50,000 of them to get rid

:02:27.:02:31.

of. Fortunately, there's no shortage of volunteers. To haul sandbags out

:02:32.:02:37.

of back gardens and onto thd main road. There is many local pdople

:02:38.:02:45.

here, but volunteers are coling in from Leeds, London, Manchester.

:02:46.:02:50.

Because you have got to get all the sandbags onto the road? That's

:02:51.:02:56.

right. They've asked us if we can take each bag individually, piled

:02:57.:03:04.

against the road. Across Solerset there are 100,000 of them to clear

:03:05.:03:08.

away. Each village will be helped in turn. Moorland had a number of

:03:09.:03:15.

properties flooded, and we need to get it back to a normal est`te as

:03:16.:03:22.

quickly as we can. Moorland's flood victims appreciate the help they are

:03:23.:03:25.

getting, as they clear out what they could not save from the floodwater.

:03:26.:03:31.

We waded into this house three weeks ago to find a disgruntled homeowner.

:03:32.:03:37.

How was it? It is not great. Today she was back. The ground floor of

:03:38.:03:40.

her pre`flooding world stacked up on the lawn ready for disposal.

:03:41.:03:45.

Grateful for some spring sun. It is a beautiful day, the Sun is shining,

:03:46.:03:50.

loads of activity. It reminds me of just before the floods, everyone

:03:51.:03:55.

here. It is good to see, thd last few weeks have just been a ghost

:03:56.:04:02.

town. How are things now? Bdtter, getting better. And a neighbour

:04:03.:04:08.

agrees. Life's on the mend. You just want to see the back of it, and

:04:09.:04:12.

start rebuilding and start `gain. Hopefully, touch wood, it ndver

:04:13.:04:15.

happens again. Some neighbotrs joke they should hang on to their

:04:16.:04:19.

sandbags just in case. But perhaps it's best to have a good cldar out

:04:20.:04:23.

in a village that's suffered so much in the last month.

:04:24.:04:28.

While the human misery has been uppermost in people's minds, it s

:04:29.:04:31.

becoming clear that the floods are causing serious problems for

:04:32.:04:35.

wildlife too. Conservationists say the barn owl population ` which

:04:36.:04:38.

dropped by three quarters dtring the last floods ` has been badlx hit

:04:39.:04:42.

again. And they say wildlifd generally is struggling, with 2 ,000

:04:43.:04:51.

acres of land still underwater. Normally when we have floods down

:04:52.:04:57.

here, there is a patchwork puilt, a few bits of elevated land where

:04:58.:05:01.

small mammals, hibernating hnsects, will have survived, and thex can

:05:02.:05:04.

spread out and repopulate the area quite openly. We are having to move

:05:05.:05:10.

miles and miles across. It hs going to take a long time before that land

:05:11.:05:13.

supports wildlife again. Residents living near to arly bases

:05:14.:05:16.

preparing to receive thousands of soldiers from Germany are bding

:05:17.:05:19.

asked for their thoughts on proposals for the move. Garrison

:05:20.:05:21.

towns around Salisbury Plain will house around 4,000 troops and their

:05:22.:05:25.

families. The ?800 million project includes up to 1,400 new holes, and

:05:26.:05:28.

today Andrew Murrison visitdd Larkhill barracks to check on

:05:29.:05:38.

progress. Clearly it's a huge logistical challenge. I am happy to

:05:39.:05:44.

say it is going very well, but it is important that we have local people

:05:45.:05:48.

commenting on the plans and proposals, which they are able to do

:05:49.:05:51.

until the 1st of April. Some of the worlds finest j`zz

:05:52.:05:53.

musicians have arrived in Bristol for the city's second International

:05:54.:05:57.

Jazz Blues festival. The three day event got under way at the Colston

:05:58.:06:00.

Hall this evening. It features a programme of concerts, workshops and

:06:01.:06:03.

jam sessions showcasing the entire history of jazz.

:06:04.:06:11.

There's of course more news and information on your local BBC Radio

:06:12.:06:16.

Stations and online. We will be here with you throughout the weekend But

:06:17.:06:20.

for now lets get the latest weather with Jemma.

:06:21.:06:21.

for Thank you. It certainly is ` much

:06:22.:06:27.

more settled picture as we go into March, after the wet and windy days

:06:28.:06:31.

of winter. Something much more akin to a spring for the next few days.

:06:32.:06:36.

We are on for a prolonged spell of dry weather. Recent sunny spells,

:06:37.:06:42.

where we get the sunshine wd will get enough to push the tempdratures

:06:43.:06:46.

up very nicely. A mild spell ahead, continuing the theme of tod`y. It is

:06:47.:06:51.

all due to high pressure to the east of us, keeping low pressure to the

:06:52.:06:56.

West. This low pressure would encroach tonight, a bit of dampness

:06:57.:07:03.

which will linger on into the morning. But only for a little bit.

:07:04.:07:07.

It will be a little foggy when we wake up, but that will be btrnt off

:07:08.:07:13.

by the sunshine by the afternoon. A brisk but warm southerly brdeze

:07:14.:07:17.

temperatures easily touching 15 Celsius in many places by the

:07:18.:07:19.

afternoon. Clouding over tolorrow night, 20 of sunshine on Monday

:07:20.:07:25.

Clouding on Sunday afternoon into Monday and Tuesday. It is a much

:07:26.:07:31.

cloudier story. For the West Country, and much

:07:32.:07:32.

that in just a few minutes with the National forecast. London's outlook,

:07:33.:07:38.

plenty of sunshine. Hello. You have got to love the

:07:39.:07:42.

British weather. For a time this afternoon, it felt like we had

:07:43.:07:47.

skipped ahead a couple of months as temperatures reached 17 degrees

:07:48.:07:50.

across parts of southern England. That is the average for the middle

:07:51.:07:56.

of May. Across Scotland, stepping back into winter. Snow flurries

:07:57.:07:57.
