:02:13. > :02:20.We need to avoid the problels with trapping. So you are against

:02:21. > :02:27.shooting and gassing. The vaccination solution is expdnsive,

:02:28. > :02:31.what do you think the soluthon is? I would contest that vaccinathon is

:02:32. > :02:37.expensive, it is cheaper th`n trapping and shooting that has taken

:02:38. > :02:40.place, considerably cheaper, and all delivery of vaccination is tnderway

:02:41. > :02:45.and should be available within the timescale, certainly within these

:02:46. > :02:53.projected culls. We should not even contemplate culling, but focusing on

:02:54. > :03:00.vaccinating badgers and cattle. Do you think Princess Anne shotld have

:03:01. > :03:04.waded into this? It is an example of high`profile people expresshng an

:03:05. > :03:09.opinion of something they pdrhaps do not know a great deal about,

:03:10. > :03:15.provoking debate, as now, which is a good thing. But I would not say she

:03:16. > :03:21.was wise or unwise, I am rather glad she gave us the opportunity to put

:03:22. > :03:29.that one to rest. Do you thhnk it will ever get rolled out nationwide?

:03:30. > :03:32.If re`elected, this governmdnt may look at culling badgers, but it is

:03:33. > :03:42.hugely problematic and they would be wise to drop it now. Thank xou.

:03:43. > :03:45.The Prime Minister came back to Somerset today to see the dredging

:03:46. > :03:49.work he'd ordered. David Caleron famously said money was no object

:03:50. > :03:53.when it came to helping people on the Levels. But with the flood water

:03:54. > :03:55.now gone, is the funding in place to secure the long`term future? Here's

:03:56. > :03:58.Clinton Rogers. Unlike his Environment Secrdtary,

:03:59. > :04:02.the Prime Minister was wearhng wellingtons for his trip to muddy

:04:03. > :04:08.Somerset. He had come to sed the work he had personally ordered, keen

:04:09. > :04:12.to point out that he kept hhs word, dredging would start as soon as the

:04:13. > :04:17.floodwaters had gone. There are those who say that dredging will not

:04:18. > :04:20.work, that the Prime Ministdr is just giving the people of Somerset

:04:21. > :04:28.what they want to hear, givhng them false hope. Well it is costhng 5

:04:29. > :04:31.million to remove silt from a five mile stretch of these rivers. And

:04:32. > :04:38.the Prime Minister clearly bristled at suggestions that it is a waste of

:04:39. > :04:43.time. Look at that river, sde how much bank is being taken out to

:04:44. > :04:48.increase its capacity and do not tell me that will not make `

:04:49. > :04:51.difference. But most people agree if flooding is to be avoided, ht will

:04:52. > :04:59.take more than just making the rivers flow more quickly. Locals

:05:00. > :05:04.have gone up a plan. It involves building a new flood barrier down in

:05:05. > :05:11.Bridgwater. It is a big shopping list with a big price tag, `round

:05:12. > :05:14.?100 million. So when local MPs and civic leaders met the Prime Minister

:05:15. > :05:18.this afternoon, they were kden to push the point that 20 millhon

:05:19. > :05:25.government has given so far is not really enough. We have a long way to

:05:26. > :05:29.go, along road, but it is not acceptable to stop pushing `nd that

:05:30. > :05:36.is what everybody said, we will to push. So will there be more money,

:05:37. > :05:41.the government paying for dredging long`term? First of all, let us

:05:42. > :05:50.bring the river back to levdl of 1960. Will it continue? It hs a

:05:51. > :05:56.continuous process, costs nded to be shared. So no further commitment on

:05:57. > :06:05.whether this will be the first of the last dredging. `` first or the

:06:06. > :06:08.last. A Bristol hospital trust has

:06:09. > :06:13.admitted liability after a two`year`old boy suffered pdrmanent

:06:14. > :06:16.brain damage at birth. Ollid Lewis was starved of oxygen after midwives

:06:17. > :06:20.at St Michael's Hospital fahled to monitor his mother when she was in

:06:21. > :06:23.labour. University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust has apologised

:06:24. > :06:26.and paid an undisclosed amotnt to Ollie's parents.

:06:27. > :06:30.There is more news on the BBC website. We will be back ovdr the

:06:31. > :06:35.weekend. For now, the latest weather.
