:00:10. > :00:12.Welcome to BBC Points West with Sabet Choudhury and Alex Lovell

:00:13. > :00:15.A goldmine of fines for a Bath Council `

:00:16. > :00:18.a quarter of a million pounds collected in one month.

:00:19. > :00:20.Motorists say it's unfair and confusing.

:00:21. > :00:26.I think most people will not notice. It is chaotic, confusing.

:00:27. > :00:38.Making headline news around the world `

:00:39. > :00:43.we speak to the family whosd car caught fire in the lion enclosure.

:00:44. > :00:50.Rovers' fans face up to the grim reality of life out of the league.

:00:51. > :01:02.creating one of the biggest shocks in World Championship history.

:01:03. > :01:06.A motoring organisation is criticising the council in Bath

:01:07. > :01:09.after it generated a quarter of a million pounds in fines

:01:10. > :01:16.Since January, cars have been banned from the road

:01:17. > :01:18.immediately in front the bus station during the day.

:01:19. > :01:23.is to improve the flow of traffic and reduce pollution,

:01:24. > :01:26.but many who've been caught say the signs just aren't clear enotgh.

:01:27. > :01:29.The council says it's given motorists every chance to

:01:30. > :01:33.Here's our Bath reporter, Ali Vowles.

:01:34. > :01:37.Who would have thought that such a short stretch of road frol the bus

:01:38. > :01:40.station to the train station could cause motorists so many problems?

:01:41. > :01:45.are banned from 10am till 6pm one way.

:01:46. > :01:48.All these cars going up through the lights today

:01:49. > :01:54.and the figures are raising eyebrows.

:01:55. > :02:09.9000 vehicles have broken the rules. That has generated an income

:02:10. > :02:12.over ground ?250,000. If thdy do not pay within 14 days, it could be

:02:13. > :02:15.more. That equates to around one vehicle breaking the rules dvery

:02:16. > :02:19.three or four minutes. But many locals and tourists say

:02:20. > :02:30.there just isn't enough warning Part of the confusion seems to be

:02:31. > :02:34.because of the signage. That is the first sign there. If he word a

:02:35. > :02:39.tourist, to all intents and purposes, it looks as though you can

:02:40. > :02:43.go left. That means you will break the law.

:02:44. > :02:47.It is not clear until it is too late. The signs are very sm`ll and

:02:48. > :02:53.by the time... Most people will not notice they have done it and wonder

:02:54. > :02:56.why they have been caught. H did not know he could not drive down there.

:02:57. > :02:58.Chaotic, really. Very confusing The whole scheme is experimdntal

:02:59. > :03:01.and, for the first two months, those breaking the rules were issued

:03:02. > :03:05.with a warning letter ` but no fine. Now the softly`softly appro`ch

:03:06. > :03:12.is over. People are getting letters `nd they

:03:13. > :03:17.are not being fined by the council, therefore it is all right, they can

:03:18. > :03:20.carry on going through therd. How do we get the right results? Wd will

:03:21. > :03:22.know that from our trial period The council believes

:03:23. > :03:32.it's given enough warning ` This signage is having no ilpact.

:03:33. > :03:35.You can tell that by the nulber of penalty tickets that have bden

:03:36. > :03:40.issued. Motorists are not awkward, they do not set out to try `nd get a

:03:41. > :03:43.?60 penalty ticket. Quite the reverse, I think the majority of

:03:44. > :03:47.motorists tried to obey the Highway code but in this case, they cannot

:03:48. > :03:48.see what they are supposed to be doing.

:03:49. > :03:52.Extra signs will be going up in the next few weeks and the bus gate

:03:53. > :03:55.experiment will be suspended in June whilst major roadworks take place.

:03:56. > :03:57.After that, the council will have to decide

:03:58. > :03:59.whether the controversial scheme will continue.

:04:00. > :04:01.Until then, it seems the problem will go on.

:04:02. > :04:06.Well, this story has got yot talking on social media `

:04:07. > :04:09.John in Bath says he considdrs the "signage totally inadeqtate

:04:10. > :04:12.and says it makes it dangerous to change lanes.

:04:13. > :04:15.Not so according to Dave F on Twitter, who says,

:04:16. > :04:20."Adequate signs including big orange ones.

:04:21. > :04:28."Two of my friends and my mum have all been fined for it!

:04:29. > :04:34.And Robert Mepham got in touch on our Facebook page.

:04:35. > :04:36."It's much more profitable than a speed camera.

:04:37. > :04:46."Dick Turpin couldn't do a better job if he tried!"

:04:47. > :04:49.A quiet family day out quickly became a dice with death

:04:50. > :04:54.The Clements family from Gloucestershire were enjoying

:04:55. > :04:56.looking at Longleat's lions from the safety of their car

:04:57. > :05:01.They faced a potentially deadly dilemm` `

:05:02. > :05:06.Or take their chances with a pride of hungry lions?

:05:07. > :05:24.Do you get that with the anhmals nearby?

:05:25. > :05:30.Making the news in America `nd Australia, this was a safarh

:05:31. > :05:37.adventure that spread fast. When Helen Clements' car caught fire she

:05:38. > :05:44.and her two children faced ` deadly dilemma. Captured on the caleras of

:05:45. > :05:48.the cars following behind, ` situation that would make anyone

:05:49. > :05:52.sweat. They are in the lining closure and there is a car on fire.

:05:53. > :05:58.Stay inside with the smoke `nd flames, or step into the Lions' Dem.

:05:59. > :06:03.12 of them, to be precise. They were, according to witnesses,

:06:04. > :06:07.watching the car very closely. It is the ultimate dilemma. You are in an

:06:08. > :06:13.environment where you have unpredictable, wild animals in

:06:14. > :06:18.presumably the safety of yotr car. When that car is no lug a s`fe, you

:06:19. > :06:25.have a choice to make, do you stay in a car that will potentially blow

:06:26. > :06:32.up or do you get out and have the risk of being in a lining closure?

:06:33. > :06:34.With her nine`year`old son, George, and 12`year`old daughter, Charlie,

:06:35. > :06:36.Helen chose the big fire over the big cats

:06:37. > :06:39.and, a minute after sounding her horn, a ranger pulled alongside

:06:40. > :06:43.For them, it perhaps looked like a potential barbecue.

:06:44. > :06:46.Longleat's lions are used to raw meat for dinner

:06:47. > :06:58.Thankfully, this time, they were denied a much tastier menu.

:06:59. > :07:05.It is just unbelievable. Well, the family are here to tell the tale

:07:06. > :07:11.after this incredible and rdally frightening event. Thank yot for

:07:12. > :07:15.coming in. If I can start whth you, Helen, what was going through your

:07:16. > :07:18.mind? I think we did not know what was going on because we werd

:07:19. > :07:24.concerned about the fire. Wd thought that the fire had literally

:07:25. > :07:30.overheated and that it would steam `` it was steam. It was turning

:07:31. > :07:37.darker and darker and it was getting thicker and thicker. Then wd saw the

:07:38. > :07:45.flames. That is just one of the worst dilemmas. Then you ard

:07:46. > :07:49.thinking... You started beeping I did, because that was what the

:07:50. > :07:52.procedure was. As soon as you see the smoke coming into the c`r, you

:07:53. > :08:04.undo the window and George opened the door. Didn't you run aw`y? What

:08:05. > :08:11.happened? I got out and I w`sn't thinking about the Lions and I just

:08:12. > :08:15.ran. You are thinking about getting away from the car! Alliance,

:08:16. > :08:23.fortunately, were not thinkhng too much about you either. How did you

:08:24. > :08:32.feel, Charlie? It was a bit crazy because we had a choice between

:08:33. > :08:37.getting out all staying in. The procedure is that you stay hn the

:08:38. > :08:46.fickle at all times. But we could not Gisby were on fire! `` because

:08:47. > :08:54.we were on fire. You live to tell the tale, but looking back, how do

:08:55. > :09:01.you relate it? You went back to school on Tuesday. were you

:09:02. > :09:11.superstars? A lot of them asking what happened. They were asking

:09:12. > :09:19.about the Lions. A little closer, but! Will you go back? Really? Of

:09:20. > :09:24.course we would. It has put me off at all. How did they put thd fire

:09:25. > :09:29.out? Apparently, the fire brigade came in summer they cleared the

:09:30. > :09:38.lines out and the public and then the fire brigade came in. `` they

:09:39. > :09:49.cleared the Lions out. I'm glad you can laugh about it now. Why has it

:09:50. > :09:52.got to be the Lions of all places? Genuine adventure to remembdr. Onto

:09:53. > :09:55.other news. A man's been arrested on suspicion

:09:56. > :09:58.of sexual assault Detectives say the 31`year`old

:09:59. > :10:02.has been bailed to attend Gloucester Police station in August

:10:03. > :10:04.pending further enquiries. The Care Quality Commission

:10:05. > :10:06.has confirmed One man has been jailed and handed

:10:07. > :10:10.a six`year football banning order following violence at the Bristol

:10:11. > :10:13.City versus Bristol Rovers derby. A further four men were also

:10:14. > :10:17.given football banning The trouble took place before,

:10:18. > :10:21.during and after the Johnstone's Paint Trophx clash

:10:22. > :10:24.at Ashton Gate last Septembdr. It was the first time the two sides

:10:25. > :10:31.had met in six and a half ydars You're watching BBC Points West

:10:32. > :10:33.with Sabet and Alex. Coming up a bit later

:10:34. > :10:38.in the programme: the Duke of Gloucester comes face to

:10:39. > :10:54.face with an old enemy in Somerset. with its treacherous ancestry

:10:55. > :10:58.in Somerset today. The Duke of Gloucester

:10:59. > :11:00.had come to officially open a restored medieval building

:11:01. > :11:02.in Taunton. But he took the opportunity

:11:03. > :11:04.to call into the county museum's

:11:05. > :11:06.Monmouth Rebellion room, devoted to an attempt to ovdrthrow

:11:07. > :11:09.the Monarchy 300 years ago. While there,

:11:10. > :11:11.he spoke of his family's links Somerset was the seat of

:11:12. > :11:28.the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion ` This museum display tells

:11:29. > :11:36.of the bloody battle of Sedgemoor, where Monmouth's rebels

:11:37. > :11:37.were defeated. 300 were later sentenced

:11:38. > :11:40.to death. And, as it turns out,

:11:41. > :11:57.the Duke of Gloucester and Lonmouth A slightly uneasy place to be, your

:11:58. > :12:01.Royal Highness? Not really! He has probably got used to the fact that

:12:02. > :12:08.he has and history `` he has got ancestry going in both directions

:12:09. > :12:10.and I'm sure he's glad he h`s more rebellious lot as well.

:12:11. > :12:13.Earlier, the Duke did what he had come to do `

:12:14. > :12:17.described as one of the findst medieval buildings in the Wdst,

:12:18. > :12:24.by the Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust.

:12:25. > :12:30.It is nationally important. As a piece of architecture, it is a grade

:12:31. > :12:31.one building, so it is nationally very important. That is the top tier

:12:32. > :12:32.in the country. This is what Castle House

:12:33. > :12:35.looked like two years ago ` it was on the English Herit`ge

:12:36. > :12:41.at`risk register. Restoring it took a million pounds

:12:42. > :12:44.to turn it into this... Much of the money came from

:12:45. > :12:47.the National Lottery Heritage Fund. If it takes your fancy, you can

:12:48. > :12:50.actually book accommodation here. You can even sit in the rool where

:12:51. > :12:54.it is said Judge Jeffreys stayed while sentencing

:12:55. > :13:00.Monmouth's rebels to hang. It was quite a day today

:13:01. > :13:08.for a royal with rebellious blood. The latest work by street artist

:13:09. > :13:11.Banksy has attracted around 3,000 people a day

:13:12. > :13:14.to Bristol's City Museum Mobile Lovers first appeared

:13:15. > :13:20.in a doorway in Clement Strdet before it was taken away by the

:13:21. > :13:24.leader of a nearby youth project. He claimed it was a gift to his club

:13:25. > :13:27.which is struggling financi`lly The piece is staying on display

:13:28. > :13:30.at the museum until its ownership dispute

:13:31. > :13:35.can be resolved. The Easter weekend was not

:13:36. > :13:38.a happy time for two of our football sides struggling to

:13:39. > :13:42.stay in their divisions. and Bristol Rovers

:13:43. > :13:47.failed to get a single point. With news of that and a hugd

:13:48. > :13:50.upset at the world snooker, After the Easter football fhxtures,

:13:51. > :13:56.nothing is set in stone, Yeovil's season in the Championship

:13:57. > :14:02.looks like it's at coming to an end. They drew on Friday

:14:03. > :14:07.but lost yesterday and are rooted to the bottol, six

:14:08. > :14:11.points away from safety but also with a worse goal differencd than

:14:12. > :14:14.Birmingham, and just two gales left. In League Two, Bristol Rovers

:14:15. > :14:18.lost on both Saturday and Monday and are now just one place `way

:14:19. > :14:21.from going out They're ahead of Northampton

:14:22. > :14:24.on goal difference alone, and play Wycombe next week `

:14:25. > :14:29.a vital, vital game. Bristol Rovers is a football club

:14:30. > :14:32.with a long history ` dropping out of the league

:14:33. > :14:35.altogether. was the second

:14:36. > :14:40.in less than 48 hours. but tiredness began to show and

:14:41. > :14:47.Rochdale scored twice to win 2` . With two matches left, Rovers are

:14:48. > :15:00.now just one place above relegation. We have got to keep going, keep

:15:01. > :15:06.fighting. I hope one or two of them can come of the treatment t`ble this

:15:07. > :15:15.weekend. Ahead of the massive game next week. What happens if we go out

:15:16. > :15:22.of the league? is it the end of the club? We have a dream ground on the

:15:23. > :15:23.horizon but will we have a club to put in it?

:15:24. > :15:25.Yeovil's adventure in the Championship looks all but over

:15:26. > :15:28.Defeat at Huddersfield yestdrday leaves them bottom of the t`ble

:15:29. > :15:31.As so often this season, thdy just couldn't hang on,

:15:32. > :15:33.having drawn level at 1`1 thanks to Tom Lawrence.

:15:34. > :15:36.Huddersfield won late in injury time.

:15:37. > :15:46.Most clubs are trying to get into the premiership, so there btt it's a

:15:47. > :15:52.much `` their budgets are mtch higher. They have tried thehr best.

:15:53. > :15:54.At the end of the day, we wdre the favourites to go down from the lost

:15:55. > :15:56.at Wembley. Yeovil knew it would be

:15:57. > :15:58.a tough season In League One, Swindon still have

:15:59. > :16:04.an outside chance of a playoff spot, Bristol City's revival

:16:05. > :16:08.has cemented their survival. Three goals from Wade Elliot, Sam

:16:09. > :16:11.Baldock and Stephen Pearson And, in League Two,

:16:12. > :16:14.a Jamie Cureton double saw Cheltenham Town ease to safety

:16:15. > :16:18.with a 2`nil won over Mansfheld They can breathe easily and watch

:16:19. > :16:26.the drama below them unfold. Well, I caught up with our resident

:16:27. > :16:29.football expert, Geoff Twentyman, just before he went on air

:16:30. > :16:32.on Radio Bristol's drivetimd show and I asked him

:16:33. > :16:34.for his assessment of Yeovil and what it would mean

:16:35. > :16:45.if Rovers did go down. Calamitous. An absolute cal`mity for

:16:46. > :16:50.the football club. If it happened, I'm sure they would stay full`time

:16:51. > :16:53.with a healthy budget but the conference is effectively lhke the

:16:54. > :16:58.fifth division and it would be a real fight to get out of thd

:16:59. > :17:04.conference if they get in there People don't think `` peopld

:17:05. > :17:12.shouldn't think it will be dasy to come back out of that.

:17:13. > :17:19.It has been a great ride for Yeovil. They have got some big clubs. The

:17:20. > :17:26.quality in both final thirds has caught them out. Defensivelx, they

:17:27. > :17:34.have made too many mistakes and have been punished. They have bedn good

:17:35. > :17:38.to carry on as as they have. They really need to make sure thdy work

:17:39. > :17:39.on getting back into the championship.

:17:40. > :17:42.What will happen? One of the biggest shocks

:17:43. > :17:45.in the history of the World Snooker Championships came

:17:46. > :17:47.yesterday courtesy of The 24`year`old `

:17:48. > :17:50.who's making his debut in the tournament ` beat world number two

:17:51. > :17:53.Ding Junhui 10`9 in a final frame We'll speak to the man himsdlf

:17:54. > :17:58.in a moment, but first, Andy Howard has been to Glotcester,

:17:59. > :18:12.where it all began for Mich`el. This is table eight at the Westgate

:18:13. > :18:15.Snooker and billiard club. Lichael Wasley would come here to practice

:18:16. > :18:26.as a seven`year`old and he would stand on a box next to the table so

:18:27. > :18:34.he could reach the balls. Quite please.

:18:35. > :18:37.When the cameras on, it is not as easy as it looks!

:18:38. > :18:40.And it wasn't particularly dasy to watch for a man who coached Michael

:18:41. > :18:50.I couldn't watch it, I had to go to bed. I was so emotional, I couldn't

:18:51. > :18:52.believe he could win! He's a Gloucester boy, who only

:18:53. > :18:56.turned professional two years ago. His career is wallpapered

:18:57. > :19:06.across this place. As a seven`year, he was so good he

:19:07. > :19:14.learned so quickly. The grown`ups played him and they used to say "

:19:15. > :19:21.fancy getting beaten by a young lad like that! " But he had the talent,

:19:22. > :19:29.he can do it. He won every trophy in the league.

:19:30. > :19:38.I didn't think he had it in him the bottle to do so well. He looked as

:19:39. > :19:44.though he was playing at thd club! One of the biggest shots evdr! So no

:19:45. > :19:51.pressure then. The coach takes on the shot that the student potted.

:19:52. > :20:10.Easy as that. We can speak to Michael Wasley now.

:20:11. > :20:16.You caused a massive upset. What was that like?

:20:17. > :20:21.It was fantastic. As soon as I walked into the Crucible and step

:20:22. > :20:25.foot `` and set foot in there, I just embraced it and thought it was

:20:26. > :20:33.time to play. Was the presstre difference to and anything xou have

:20:34. > :20:37.experienced before? It is a different sort of pressure. You want

:20:38. > :20:43.to perform to the crowd but the same time you want to win the match. My

:20:44. > :20:49.main focus was to posit it on the balls in front of me and sed what

:20:50. > :20:55.happens. I played well to go to each into the `` two each into the

:20:56. > :21:04.interval. Did you have anything in your back pocket? Game plan is

:21:05. > :21:07.always to be aggressive. Thd way the game of snooker is to going now you

:21:08. > :21:14.always have to be aggressivd in your shot selection. I had massive

:21:15. > :21:17.pressure `` he had massive pressure going into this tournament, so I

:21:18. > :21:23.capitalised on that and madd sure I didn't give him any easy ch`nces and

:21:24. > :21:27.any chance that I got, I took. You had to be focused. You were one

:21:28. > :21:34.behind going into that final few frames and you managed to ldvel it

:21:35. > :21:42.at 9`9. How did that feel? Coming into the third session, I w`s 9`8

:21:43. > :21:47.down and I started really wdll. I came out with a century and he

:21:48. > :21:53.didn't score a point in that frame, so I had the momentum going into the

:21:54. > :21:58.decider. I built up a lead hn the decider quickly, taking 35 points.

:21:59. > :22:02.So it gave me a good lead and it just is backed the pressure up on

:22:03. > :22:07.him. He had it all to play for. You sound very calm. You have M`rk Davis

:22:08. > :22:16.or Dominic Dale next was not have you played them before? I h`ve. I

:22:17. > :22:21.played Mark Davis in the Welsh open or the German Masters in my first

:22:22. > :22:26.season and I managed to beat him. That was to qualify for the event. I

:22:27. > :22:32.played Dominic Dale in the pink ribbon, which was close, and I lost

:22:33. > :22:37.4`3. I'm looking forward to playing either of them. Thank you.

:22:38. > :22:41.And not forgetting Bristol's Judd Trump who's `lso
