Good Evening. in a few minutes.

:00:12.:00:11.

Good Evening. A woman is recovering in hospital

:00:12.:00:14.

this evening, after being rescued by helicopter from the top of Wells

:00:15.:00:19.

Cathedral. The woman, who is 68, was on a high level tour of the building

:00:20.:00:23.

when she fell more than 20 feet and became stuck in between two walls.

:00:24.:00:31.

Rescue teams on top of Well's Cathedral's tallest tower. They're

:00:32.:00:34.

working out how to move a 68`year`old woman who's trapped and

:00:35.:00:36.

severely injured below. 180 feet down, emergency teams and paramedics

:00:37.:00:39.

parked alongside one side of this cathedral are using ropes to try and

:00:40.:00:51.

reach her. We quickly established that the lady had sustained a fall

:00:52.:00:57.

within the tower. This was within two wars in a very confined space.

:00:58.:01:01.

It was clearly going to be a very difficult rescue because of the

:01:02.:01:05.

location and the extent of her injuries. As people watched the

:01:06.:01:08.

rescue in progress, a statement from the cathedral said the woman had

:01:09.:01:12.

been on a walking tour. The High Places Tour says groups will get to

:01:13.:01:16.

see parts of the tower out of sight for normal tourists. But somehow the

:01:17.:01:20.

woman fell around 30 feet and became wedged on the way down, trapped and

:01:21.:01:28.

suspended for more than three hours. The tour group was right up there at

:01:29.:01:33.

the very top of the towers. It is not clear how this lady fell. These

:01:34.:01:39.

tours have now been suspended until they work out what exactly went

:01:40.:01:41.

wrong. Her saviour arrived, hovering high in the heavens. A stretcher was

:01:42.:01:44.

lowered down and the 68`year`old woman was finally winched to

:01:45.:01:48.

hospital. She's said to have broken wrists, a broken pelvis and

:01:49.:01:56.

suspected abdominal injuries. We are going to investigate, obviously we

:01:57.:02:03.

will ask the questions stop when we have at that answers we will Despite

:02:04.:02:06.

her extensive injuries, rescuers said she was lucky not to be more

:02:07.:02:09.

seriously hurt. Decide what actions to take.

:02:10.:02:13.

A Wiltshire police officer has been cleared of assault and misconduct

:02:14.:02:16.

after firing a Taser stun gun into the chest of a naked suspect. PC Lee

:02:17.:02:22.

Birch left court after the jury recorded its not guilty verdict in

:02:23.:02:25.

just 60 minutes. They reached their decision after watching CCTV of the

:02:26.:02:29.

officer firing the electronic stun gun into the chest of Daniel Dove.

:02:30.:02:36.

Around 50 homes were evacuated in Weston`super`Mare today after a fire

:02:37.:02:41.

at a car workshop. A cordon was set up around Beaufort Road after fears

:02:42.:02:43.

the building contained cylinders that could explode. One man was

:02:44.:02:47.

taken to hospital and two others were treated at the scene. The cause

:02:48.:02:53.

of the fire is unknown. Swindon Town footballer, Nile

:02:54.:02:56.

Ranger, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of criminal damage at Swindon

:02:57.:03:00.

Magistrates. He was released on bail, but must report to a local

:03:01.:03:04.

police station two days a week until his trial in July. Swindon

:03:05.:03:11.

Magistrates also heard the striker has to make three more court

:03:12.:03:14.

appearances for various charges of drink`driving and criminal damage.

:03:15.:03:19.

The leader of the UK Independence Party, Nigel Farage, is hosting a

:03:20.:03:22.

rally in Bath tonight on the day he launched his party's South West

:03:23.:03:25.

campaign for the European elections. UKIP is predicted by many to come

:03:26.:03:29.

first next month when voters head to the polling stations. Our political

:03:30.:03:34.

editor, Paul Barltrop, reports. He loves to be different. Not for

:03:35.:03:38.

Nigel Farage, the typical electioneering. Intead he was soon

:03:39.:03:44.

in a Bath pub. His love of pints and fags go down well with some voters.

:03:45.:03:48.

So does his hostility to the EU, even though withdrawal would be

:03:49.:03:51.

decided by members of Parliament in Westminster not Brussels. It is a

:03:52.:03:58.

chance for people to express an opinion. I don't meet many people in

:03:59.:04:01.

Bath or elsewhere who are happy being part of a political union with

:04:02.:04:05.

Europe which costs us a great deal of money and means we have given up

:04:06.:04:11.

control of our borders. This will make a difference in membership. The

:04:12.:04:16.

stronger UKIP get, the more we are shifting the sense of the gravity of

:04:17.:04:22.

the UK debate. Several other smaller parties competing in the South West

:04:23.:04:27.

have also advocated withdrawal. We are extremely Eurosceptic. One of

:04:28.:04:30.

the distinguishing features of our party is that we, in common with the

:04:31.:04:33.

SNP, would like to advocate association with the union to be

:04:34.:04:39.

dissolved. We have campaigned for that. If we have a referendum on

:04:40.:04:44.

that or a yes vote on that, that would kill two birds with one stone.

:04:45.:04:49.

A combination of the Asylum Treaty and the Human Rights Convention make

:04:50.:04:52.

it almost impossible for someone who lands in this country, by hook or by

:04:53.:04:56.

crook, to be expelled. That is what we have seen for the last 50 years.

:04:57.:05:00.

The Asylum Convention is a particular bugbear of ours. In

:05:01.:05:04.

combination with the Human Rights Convention it makes things very

:05:05.:05:10.

difficult. More than 1000 came to watch, though not all were UKIP

:05:11.:05:15.

supporters. He hinted that his next objective may be a British

:05:16.:05:20.

Parliamentary by`election. If we get this by`election in the summer on

:05:21.:05:23.

the back of UKIP winning the European elections, we have a strong

:05:24.:05:26.

chance of winning our first seat in Westminster. A rousing reception

:05:27.:05:35.

from the thousand strong audience. There is only one Nigel Farage. A

:05:36.:05:38.

challenge for UKIP will be maintaining momentum over the next

:05:39.:05:45.

few weeks. Bristol Rugby have announced some

:05:46.:05:49.

new signings today. Amongst them, Scottish international Ross Rennie

:05:50.:05:52.

who made his move from Edinburgh a permanent one. Also arriving at the

:05:53.:05:57.

club will be Mosley back row, Olly Robinson, who's the son of Bristol's

:05:58.:06:05.

director of rugby, Andy Robinson. It is hard work for him. It is vital

:06:06.:06:11.

that he is able to come here and work really hard like every other

:06:12.:06:16.

player. Sometimes it is even harder for people who are related. They

:06:17.:06:21.

have two put work in to get their starting position. Jeremy Paxman has

:06:22.:06:30.

Newsnight over on BBC Two looking at the truth behind the latest cancer

:06:31.:06:37.

survival figures. Varying amount of sunshine and cloud tomorrow. Most of

:06:38.:06:45.

you will see a dry day. Some rain in the south`west from. A dry night, to

:06:46.:06:56.

bridges between five to eighth in the years. Some folk around. Taking

:06:57.:07:02.

a little while for the fog to break up and lift. Things will brighten

:07:03.:07:09.

up. A fair amount of sunshine by the afternoon. A scattering of showers

:07:10.:07:16.

which many areas will avoid. In the evening, this front introduces

:07:17.:07:19.

fragmentary rain which creeps north`eastwards. Temperatures up to

:07:20.:07:27.

15 to 17 Celsius. Her stay, decidedly showery all`day.

:07:28.:07:33.

some sharp showers. It will be colder still on Friday.

:07:34.:07:43.

Hello again, the holiday weekend is not far-away. We are still expecting

:07:44.:07:46.

the weather to change significantly before then. Some patchy rain from

:07:47.:07:55.

northern Scotland tomorrow. There is a lot of cloud coming in from the

:07:56.:07:58.

North Sea which is pushing its way inland. There could be quite a bit

:07:59.:08:06.

of fog around in the morning. It should be
