:00:12. > :00:15.forget a first look at the papers Good evening. The government has
:00:16. > :00:19.suspended plans to roll out its controversial cull of badgers. It
:00:20. > :00:22.follows a critical report bx experts into the shooting carried ott in
:00:23. > :00:25.Somerset and Gloucestershird last autumn. But the two culls whll
:00:26. > :00:28.continue with changes. Our political editor Paul Barltrop reports.
:00:29. > :00:33.A policy in trouble ` a minhster facing his critics. The envhronment
:00:34. > :00:38.secretary came to the Commons to announce the news. The cull which
:00:39. > :00:41.was due to be extended to tdn new zones won't be. As he talked, his
:00:42. > :00:45.department released the report by experts which catalogued nulerous
:00:46. > :00:48.problems. MPs learned that shooting wasn't effective or humane. The
:00:49. > :00:50.culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire were financdd by
:00:51. > :00:54.farmers, who over several ddcades have seen more and more cattle hit
:00:55. > :01:03.by bovine TB. The disease c`n be spread between cows and badgers
:01:04. > :01:09.Today's news was a blow. Extremely frustrating. We tdst our
:01:10. > :01:13.cows at least once a year, `nd if you're under restriction it's every
:01:14. > :01:17.60 days, and I've got to ask myself, why am I doing it? Some people say,
:01:18. > :01:21.well, give up on it and go elsewhere. Fine, I'll sell ly cows
:01:22. > :01:24.and move on, but where are xou going to get your pint of milk from?
:01:25. > :01:27.Also influencing thinking is the efforts of opponents. Their actions
:01:28. > :01:32.last autumn slowed, and at times halted, the shooting.
:01:33. > :01:35.I'm very pleased that all that effort has resulted in the stopping
:01:36. > :01:39.of the roll`out, but I'm bitterly disappointed, and a lot of people
:01:40. > :01:43.are very angry, they cannot believe that free shooting is still going
:01:44. > :01:46.on. So protesters, police, and larksmen
:01:47. > :01:49.will start preparing to go back into the fields of West Somerset and West
:01:50. > :01:57.Gloucestershire, but for now nowhere else. Paul Barltrop, BBC Pohnts
:01:58. > :02:00.West. Earlier I spoke to the Farmhng
:02:01. > :02:07.Minister George Eustace. I `sked him if he thought the culls had been a
:02:08. > :02:11.failure. It was clear that this was `lways a
:02:12. > :02:15.pilot. We are going to learn our lessons from the first year and take
:02:16. > :02:20.forward the recommendations for the second year. Every time I h`ve
:02:21. > :02:30.spoken to you in the past, xou have said the call is going very well.
:02:31. > :02:40.What has changed. Well it h`s become clear, that provided you sustain the
:02:41. > :02:49.call, you can still make a difference to the spread of disease.
:02:50. > :03:11.Why has the cull not been stopped? Hello and welcome to wee bit... I
:03:12. > :03:29.think this is a Sussexs sensible approach to take. This is why Ed
:03:30. > :03:37.Haas to be part of our strategy In the past you have said that
:03:38. > :03:42.vaccination does not work? We have always said that vaccination works.
:03:43. > :03:47.We have always maintained that it could be part of a strategy. It will
:03:48. > :04:16.always have an important role in sending the spread of the dhsease,
:04:17. > :04:20.especially in low risk areas. This is the spot a quiet cul`de`sac where
:04:21. > :04:26.the body Melanie Ford was found just yards from her family home As
:04:27. > :04:31.the anniversary of her death approaches, police say that they
:04:32. > :04:36.have the killer's DNA, and they are convinced that they can catch him. A
:04:37. > :04:43.17`year`old with her whole life ahead of her. But in 1984, she was
:04:44. > :04:47.brutally murdered. She had been here at this nightclub with friends, and
:04:48. > :04:57.taken this short cut home whth friends. Somewhere near at this spot
:04:58. > :05:02.Melanie met her killer. She was sexually assaulted and stabbed. Her
:05:03. > :05:08.body was found here early the following morning by the milkman.
:05:09. > :05:12.The killer left a trail of his own blood as he ran from the scdne. Now
:05:13. > :05:19.the police have his full DN@ profile. They just need his name.
:05:20. > :05:25.Melanie did not deserve to die in the way that she did. It is very
:05:26. > :05:31.unusual to now have the evidence to say that that person is responsible.
:05:32. > :05:37.We are in a very strong poshtion. Officers are no content ``
:05:38. > :05:44.contacting hundreds of people linked to Melanie. What we know is that the
:05:45. > :05:49.killer run down these steps, leaving a trail of blood steps. But then
:05:50. > :05:56.about 30 yards down this ro`d, the Trail ends. It may be 30 ye`rs on,
:05:57. > :06:08.but police believe they can still catch that killer and bring justice
:06:09. > :06:11.to Melanie's family. A cash point has been blown up in
:06:12. > :06:14.Bristol, leaving hundreds of pounds littering the street. The blast
:06:15. > :06:17.happened on Hartcliffe Way hn the early hours of this morning.
:06:18. > :06:21.Officers are looking at whether a device was attached to the @TM. It's
:06:22. > :06:27.not clear yet how much monex was taken.
:06:28. > :06:31.That's all from us. BBC Question Time is next on BBC One. Thd hour
:06:32. > :06:34.long debate is being held in Bristol tonight. But first here's I`n with
:06:35. > :06:49.the weather. Tomorrow will bring dry weather
:06:50. > :06:57.Certainly some showers around, but drier than to date. It will take a
:06:58. > :07:02.little while for the showers to clear. But it will leave a dry
:07:03. > :07:13.night. Temperatures around seven or eight Celsius. Tomorrow, sole
:07:14. > :07:17.brighter spells about. Just a future as from around mid afternoon
:07:18. > :07:25.onwards. Many districts will avoid the showers. Were we have them, they
:07:26. > :07:31.will be light to moderate. Temperatures tomorrow will get up to
:07:32. > :07:35.the mid teens. Similar tempdratures through the course of the wdekend. A
:07:36. > :07:39.weather looks. Now the latest on the pesky pollution.
:07:40. > :07:47.Good evening. They say a change of air is good for you and that is what
:07:48. > :07:52.we have on the way. The brush that will sweep away all of the air
:07:53. > :07:57.pollution is a weather system developing in the Atlantic. The
