:00:00. > :14:00.but they were tonnes down after a two`hour debate today. `` turned
:14:01. > :14:03.down. A man who collapsed with a heart
:14:04. > :14:06.attack while playing squash in Cheltenham has been saved by
:14:07. > :14:10.lifeguards who had just finished a first aid lesson in a room next
:14:11. > :14:13.door. At first, they thought it was a surprise exercise set up as part
:14:14. > :14:16.of their training, until they realised it really was a life or
:14:17. > :14:19.death situation. Scott Ellis reports. It was Friday night at the
:14:20. > :14:21.sports centre in Cheltenham and 42`year`old man was squash on this
:14:22. > :14:24.court. He collapsed. Fortunately, his life`savers will not backfire
:14:25. > :14:30.away. They were learning first aid in the room next door. Natalie
:14:31. > :14:37.Schofield, Jo Whiley and the rest of the class thought it was a drill. He
:14:38. > :14:42.said, is there are first aid about? We all stood up and looked at each
:14:43. > :14:47.other and fought it was set up. It was the way he ran in and be thought
:14:48. > :14:53.we were being tested. And the reality was there was a man down
:14:54. > :14:56.there. What did he look like? He had collapsed and was going quite blue
:14:57. > :15:03.and purple. That is when it hit home it was not a drill. This man was the
:15:04. > :15:07.first aid teacher that day. He delegated tasks to each of the
:15:08. > :15:13.lifeguards, including chest compressions and a life`saving
:15:14. > :15:17.electric shock from a defibrillator. It was one of the most surreal
:15:18. > :15:22.things I have ever seen. He was on the floor and he jolted like nothing
:15:23. > :15:26.I have ever seen in my life. It was awful. But he started breathing
:15:27. > :15:32.again. Towards the end, will he made a joke about how we ripped his tee
:15:33. > :15:38.shot. George is full of praise for the young lifeguards but says it was
:15:39. > :15:43.lucky they were the local `` that they were there at all. Two more
:15:44. > :15:47.minutes and they would have been at home. It was amazingly bubbly and
:15:48. > :15:54.could make the difference. `` it was amazing that the welfare. This video
:15:55. > :15:58.from Vinnie Jones shows what you need to do to save a life. To have
:15:59. > :16:05.done it for real, though, is the moment that these teenage lifeguards
:16:06. > :16:11.will not forget. Amazing. You feel good that you have saved someone.
:16:12. > :16:14.Happy. Just glad he's OK. The 42`year`old man is recovering in
:16:15. > :16:19.hospital and his wife has thanked everyone who has helped to save her
:16:20. > :16:21.husband's life. That is phenomenal. Absolutely
:16:22. > :16:25.amazing. At this time of year, Malta is an
:16:26. > :16:28.important stopover point for wild birds migrating to Europe to breed,
:16:29. > :16:32.some of which will come here. One of the many hazards the birds face on
:16:33. > :16:36.their journey is human. For three weeks, hunters with shotguns look to
:16:37. > :16:42.shoot as many of the birds as possible. TV naturalist Chris
:16:43. > :16:45.Packham and a team from Bristol are heading to Malta to raise awareness
:16:46. > :16:50.of this practice. And Chris joins us now.
:16:51. > :16:57.Chris, thank you for joining us. Can you give us an idea of the scale of
:16:58. > :17:00.this problem? Well, the problem is that they are shooting in
:17:01. > :17:05.springtime. The birds that are the turning over Malta to northern
:17:06. > :17:10.Europe, and some species, two homes in the UK, things like turtledove,
:17:11. > :17:16.quail, cuckoo, some warblers, swifts and swallows, are the adult
:17:17. > :17:22.surviving birds set to beat this season. They are the most important
:17:23. > :17:25.part of these birds' populations. If you shoot them at this time of year,
:17:26. > :17:31.they do not bleed and there will be fewer words. These are some of the
:17:32. > :17:35.species which are in critical decline. Things like couple dance,
:17:36. > :17:43.since 1970, they have declined by 95%. `` turtledoves. The fact that
:17:44. > :17:46.they are legally blown out of the sky is horrendous to those of us who
:17:47. > :17:52.try to conserve these birds. `` illegally. What is the legal
:17:53. > :17:58.precedence? Are you going to try and change their mind? What kind of
:17:59. > :18:03.practice is this? The situation is that we have the European wild birds
:18:04. > :18:08.directive. All of the countries that have signed up to the EU should pay
:18:09. > :18:14.respect to this. This states that there should be no spring hunting at
:18:15. > :18:23.all. Malta kind of gives itself what they call a delegation, an exemption
:18:24. > :18:27.of this. The The Legalizer spring `` they believe it is legal to organise
:18:28. > :18:31.a spring hunt in Malta. It is legal for them and not for Europe. The
:18:32. > :18:37.vast majority of the Maltese people, 65%, are strictly against spring
:18:38. > :18:42.hunting and oppose it on several accounts. Firstly, they do not like
:18:43. > :18:45.the fact that the cannot take themselves and their family into the
:18:46. > :18:49.countryside in springtime. Secondly, they do not like their lack of
:18:50. > :18:53.democracy because they did not see why the Government is lobbied by
:18:54. > :18:58.their shooting fraternity. And they are embarrassed that this is an
:18:59. > :19:02.outdated practice which is not aligned with conservation across
:19:03. > :19:08.Europe. I am going out they are not to be a finger wagging and it, ``
:19:09. > :19:15.finger wagging but it. To support the vast majority of people who are
:19:16. > :19:21.against this. And you will be composing a video diary, won't you?
:19:22. > :19:24.Yes, it is a feisty affair. I am going with three other colleagues
:19:25. > :19:33.from Bristol, one of whom works from yourself. `` works for yourself. It
:19:34. > :19:38.is self`funded. Many people come from across Europe to monitor this
:19:39. > :19:42.so that we can appeal to the European Commission for them to do
:19:43. > :19:46.something about it. We will go out, see what the hunters are up to, and
:19:47. > :19:54.create a wider awareness, we hope, by using YouTube for the British
:19:55. > :19:57.public. This has been off the radar. Broadcasters have not touched this
:19:58. > :20:01.for a couple of years and we want to bring that back into the sphere of
:20:02. > :20:11.public interest. Thank you very much. The people who will carry
:20:12. > :20:15.their bat across Bristol is announced today. It will be taken
:20:16. > :20:19.through 71 countries on its route. The batting will have covered more
:20:20. > :20:26.than 100,000 miles before it arrives in the West on the 3rd of June. The
:20:27. > :20:35.people involved have been chosen for their work in the community.
:20:36. > :20:39.Remember this? Almost two years ago, the Olympic Torch reached Bristol on
:20:40. > :20:41.its journey to London. Soon it will be the turn of the Queen's
:20:42. > :20:44.Commonwealth baton, after visiting each of the 71 countries and
:20:45. > :20:47.territories competing at this summer's games. It's in the
:20:48. > :20:50.Caribbean at the moment, but who needs the Cayman Islands when you've
:20:51. > :20:53.got the Cumberland Basin looking like this. Today was a rehearsal.
:20:54. > :20:56.This boat will take the baton`bearers along the harbour
:20:57. > :20:59.side, hopefully in front of a few more spectators. They have been
:21:00. > :21:02.chosen because of their work in the community. But with all the
:21:03. > :21:08.excitement and expectation, it's funny what some people worry about.
:21:09. > :21:11.I can imagine is being here, but it is the rain. I am skilled of the
:21:12. > :21:15.rain. I would like it to be just like this. `` I am scared. From
:21:16. > :21:20.Tracie, the baton is passed to two of the city's young politicians. I
:21:21. > :21:23.feel very privileged because this is our opportunity for Bristol to show
:21:24. > :21:29.the rest of the country what we are all about. I am a little bit
:21:30. > :21:34.nervous. The Mayor nominated me and we have got to live up to that. We
:21:35. > :21:37.have to live up to other young people. Getting the baton through
:21:38. > :21:41.Bristol might be a gruelling task, but fear not, there's an athlete on
:21:42. > :21:46.board for the final leg. I am looking forward to it. Not as
:21:47. > :21:53.nervous as what you might expect. It will be a great opportunity and
:21:54. > :21:56.relieved looking forward to it. `` I am really looking forward to it.
:21:57. > :21:58.From water to dry land, the baton will arrive at the Lloyds
:21:59. > :22:02.Amphitheatre. This will be a complete mix of sporting activities.
:22:03. > :22:08.We have 20 national governing bodies to support, all coming down here. It
:22:09. > :22:11.will give people a chance to try it. Then, via College Green and City
:22:12. > :22:18.Hall, it ends up at Millennium Square. The success of the Olympic
:22:19. > :22:23.Torch relay paved the way for Bristol to do that much better. We
:22:24. > :22:26.have been able to sell a city to other sports. We have attracted the
:22:27. > :22:32.Rugby league World Cup. Since then, we have signed a contract for the
:22:33. > :22:36.tour of Britain. We are very hopeful that we will be able to bring more
:22:37. > :22:39.sports to the city in the future. So with Bristol on the map and in the
:22:40. > :22:48.limelight again, here is Bristol's Commonwealth Games baton relay.
:22:49. > :22:59.Just don't drop it. They must have been nervous. One of the favourites
:23:00. > :23:01.for the Commonwealth gold medal is Bath`based swimmer Michael Jamieson.
:23:02. > :23:05.This afternoon it's been confirmed that he will race for Scotland in
:23:06. > :23:09.the 100m and 200m breaststroke in his home city. In the last few days,
:23:10. > :23:12.Michael has set the fastest time in the world in the longer distance.
:23:13. > :23:18.Looking forward to Glasgow, it is the biggest event of my career. It
:23:19. > :23:21.is a huge opportunity. As I say, I am doing everything I can to get the
:23:22. > :23:26.result I am looking for. I am confident about it and I just need
:23:27. > :23:31.to make sure I stay focused and keep putting the working over the next
:23:32. > :23:34.couple of months. Our cricket sides have finished their first County
:23:35. > :23:39.Championship matches of the CDs. In Taunton, the match with Yorkshire
:23:40. > :23:45.ended in a draw after almost 1200 runs were scored. Gloucestershire
:23:46. > :23:53.got off to the worst possible start in Division Two and lost by eight
:23:54. > :23:56.wickets to Hampshire in Bristol. Gloucester Rugby Club has today
:23:57. > :23:59.confirmed it's looking into the behaviour of a small number of fans
:24:00. > :24:01.for "foul and abusive language" towards the match officials in
:24:02. > :24:04.Saturday's defeat to Bath. Meanwhile, prop forward Sila Puafisi
:24:05. > :24:07.and scrum half Tavis Knoyle will both appear before an RFU
:24:08. > :24:15.disciplinary panel tonight after getting sent off in the same match.
:24:16. > :24:18.A car which became submerged on the Somerset Levels during the floods
:24:19. > :24:22.has been scrapped, despite attracting a bid of more than
:24:23. > :24:29.?100,000 online. You may remember seeing this picture of the car
:24:30. > :24:33.abandoned on the road to Muchelney. Its owner decided to sell it on eBay
:24:34. > :24:37.to raise money for flood victims and despite receiving a winning bid of
:24:38. > :24:48.?101,000, it turned out to be a hoax and so the car's now been scrapped.
:24:49. > :24:55.That is a shame. Thankfully, it has kept Sony. Hopefully, it will stay
:24:56. > :24:59.that way. What you reckon? There is a reasonable chance this evening and
:25:00. > :25:03.into tomorrow, Friday and all of Saturday. It ain't going to be like
:25:04. > :25:11.that once we get to that particular day where we have shifted is Asian.
:25:12. > :25:14.`` shifted position. Tomorrow, they will continue under dry conditions.
:25:15. > :25:18.The key difference compared to today will be moored in the way of cloud,
:25:19. > :25:22.generally speaking. Still some brighter spells. The best of the
:25:23. > :25:23.sunshine will be squeezed into the first part of the day. This is how
:25:24. > :25:28.things are first part of the day. This is how
:25:29. > :25:33.shaping up. A familiar story with high pressure dominating the
:25:34. > :25:37.picture. At the same time, we have from the north`west. They'll
:25:38. > :25:41.introduced more cloud tomorrow. They will not introduce anything in the
:25:42. > :25:47.way of rainfall. There will be more sunshine again for Friday. There has
:25:48. > :25:51.been a temporary hiatus in the otherwise sunny story. There has
:25:52. > :25:59.been glorious sunshine this evening, and once again things are starting
:26:00. > :26:04.to chill off very quickly. It will not necessarily be as cold as a last
:26:05. > :26:11.couple of nights. The minimum we will see will be around about 3`4
:26:12. > :26:18.Celsius. Tomorrow morning. Start with sunshine around. `` tomorrow
:26:19. > :26:22.morning. Start. They will be increasing amounts of cloud towards
:26:23. > :26:28.the south`east, Dorset, Wiltshire, other places. Here you will benefit
:26:29. > :26:31.from longer spells sunshine remaining until the afternoon period
:26:32. > :26:37.and consequently, here you will have highest temperatures. You might find
:26:38. > :26:42.your up to 16, 17 Celsius in places like Salisbury, Dorset, when it is
:26:43. > :26:51.very pleasantly warm indeed. Further northwards, they will be bright
:26:52. > :26:57.spells. More like 15`16dC and still a decent day, cloud cover or not.
:26:58. > :27:02.Into Friday, yes, cloud around, but generally speaking a good will of
:27:03. > :27:05.sunshine once again. As will be the case for Saturday. They will be the
:27:06. > :27:10.two best is for the bank all day weekend. By Sunday, showery rain
:27:11. > :27:14.pushing in across the south and south`east. The generation and
:27:15. > :27:23.locations of which are still yet to be pinned down. `` the locations of
:27:24. > :27:29.which. Of course, there will be more inclement days.
