:00:00. > :00:12.Good evening. That's

:00:13. > :00:15.Grieving families of some of the children who've died on Ward

:00:16. > :00:19.32 in Bristol are claiming that the inquiry into their deaths does

:00:20. > :00:24.The youngsters were being treated on the controversial ward at

:00:25. > :00:26.Bristol Children's Hospital, which has received some serious criticism

:00:27. > :00:49.Here's our health correspondent Matthew Hill.

:00:50. > :00:59.Why was she sent up to Bristol hospital? And then she wasn't

:01:00. > :01:05.operated on for two weeks. The operation was cancelled thrde times

:01:06. > :01:07.within those two weeks. She had severe immune deficiency. They

:01:08. > :01:22.didn't find that out until they operated on her. Jasmine 's death

:01:23. > :01:26.won't be looked at pro. One of the family who do fall into the

:01:27. > :01:33.timescale are the Turners from Warminster, who lost their son Sean

:01:34. > :01:41.in 2012. A coroner ruled thdy lost opportunities in his care. Families

:01:42. > :01:46.before 2010 will be excluded from the review. One of our strong

:01:47. > :01:52.concerns is that they are only going to look at the clinical notds, as we

:01:53. > :01:57.know from our case. A lot of these notes were missing. It just won t

:01:58. > :02:01.work. There are test results within the results that we know didn't take

:02:02. > :02:08.place. There are too many retrospective notes. Sean 's

:02:09. > :02:13.critical period of notes is missing. It's turning into a farce rdally.

:02:14. > :02:18.It's not just about the card of individual patients that thhs

:02:19. > :02:22.enquiry will be looking at. Although the enquiry will only look back to

:02:23. > :02:27.2010 in terms of the familids experience. It will be lookhng at

:02:28. > :02:32.things like the original Brhstol enquiry, and how those things were

:02:33. > :02:36.responded to. It has to be remembered that this is not a full

:02:37. > :02:39.public enquiry, those can go on for years. In fact the four`year period

:02:40. > :02:45.they are looking at is one xear younger than the Staffordshhre

:02:46. > :02:47.enquiry. Matthew Hill, BBC Points West, Bristol.

:02:48. > :02:50.70 football fans in the Avon and Somerset area are

:02:51. > :02:53.among those having to hand hn their passports ahead of the World Cup.

:02:54. > :02:55.It's because they've been involvdd in

:02:56. > :02:57.violence or hooliganism at latches, including the Bristol Rovers versus

:02:58. > :03:01.The fans have until tomorrow to give police their passports

:03:02. > :03:06.Figures obtained by the BBC show students at the

:03:07. > :03:09.University of the West of England are lodging more appeals and

:03:10. > :03:13.complaints about their educ`tion than almost any other university.

:03:14. > :03:17.In fact, only two other universities had more grievances last ye`r.

:03:18. > :03:23.There was a time when a university education was free

:03:24. > :03:31.So perhaps it's no surprise that complaints have risen.

:03:32. > :03:36.At UWE, roughly 2.5% of students complained or appealed last year.

:03:37. > :03:40.The university's minister says it shows undergraduates

:03:41. > :03:46.There are large numbers of students who have not, historically,

:03:47. > :03:48.in English universities, had the quality of teaching they

:03:49. > :03:53.But I actually think that trends are now going in the right direction,

:03:54. > :03:56.not least because students `re far more demanding than ever before

:03:57. > :03:59.But some of the complaints and appeals

:04:00. > :04:05.Students who had hayfever in their exams, for example,

:04:06. > :04:11.Also those who can't park their cars can complain.

:04:12. > :04:15.I think that's really posithve and I think it's good that students are

:04:16. > :04:18.looking at their education in that way.

:04:19. > :04:21.For UWE to actually listen to students, to act on those appeals,

:04:22. > :04:24.I think is brilliant and thdy should continue to do so.

:04:25. > :04:27.Even so, UWE's complaints and appeals are much higher than

:04:28. > :04:31.some similar`sized universities suggesting its students are now

:04:32. > :04:43.Earlier, we asked Julie McLdod from the University of the West

:04:44. > :04:46.of England if she was worridd about the number of complaints.

:04:47. > :04:49.The main areas that our students are putting forward their compl`ints

:04:50. > :04:54.in are around some areas financial, which we have seen an incre`se in,

:04:55. > :04:58.covering car parking, accomlodation, but also the largest majority are

:04:59. > :05:01.students telling us or informing us of personal circumstances that

:05:02. > :05:04.they feel affect the abilitx to succeed and progress.

:05:05. > :05:10.Compared to other universithes these are really high numbers

:05:11. > :05:15.Against the sector we are a large university,

:05:16. > :05:18.and therefore proportionately it is less than half a percent

:05:19. > :05:22.But more importantly for us is that we are open `nd

:05:23. > :05:25.transparent about capturing that student voice and their complaints

:05:26. > :05:30.and appeals, and effectivelx making sure that we learn from those

:05:31. > :05:37.We take that satisfaction vdry much by the fact that we have such

:05:38. > :05:39.a small number of those complaints going to

:05:40. > :05:42.the independent adjudicator, for which we have been commdnded.

:05:43. > :05:45.In an essence, with high sttdent fees you are a business.

:05:46. > :05:47.You must be worried about ctstomers, i.e.

:05:48. > :05:49.students, looking at these figures and saying

:05:50. > :05:54.Well certainly there are hehghtened expectations

:05:55. > :06:00.But we have to be very clear that in many cases these aren't formal

:06:01. > :06:02.These are students informing, they're going through

:06:03. > :06:08.a formal process, but as far as dissatisfaction we are

:06:09. > :06:11.talking about 142 complaints, of which we need to have lessons

:06:12. > :06:17.One example is the reduction by 50% of the complaints

:06:18. > :06:20.around accommodation this ydar from what we learned last ydar.

:06:21. > :06:27.There's more news on the BBC website, but for now i'll ldave you

:06:28. > :06:37.Thank you. We still have a few showers lingering around. The main

:06:38. > :06:41.story is rain pushing northwards later tonight. That will very much

:06:42. > :06:48.be a feature through good p`rts of Wednesday. Through the course of

:06:49. > :06:54.tonight temperatures dropping to nine to 12 Celsius. Rain pushing

:06:55. > :07:02.northwards towards midnight. In rush hour that could be heavy in places.

:07:03. > :07:09.East of the M5 or so. The ddtail still very elusive as the d`y wears

:07:10. > :07:13.on. You will find the edge of that rain goes into eastern areas.

:07:14. > :07:16.Through the evening there whll be an erratic but steady improvemdnt with

:07:17. > :07:23.some brighter weather coming through. A good part of the day will

:07:24. > :07:30.be wet or cloudy until that stage. Temperatures will struggle, 12 or 13

:07:31. > :07:33.Celsius. But it will feel cool. On Thursday a day of

:07:34. > :07:42.outlook, we have some thunderstorms this Saturday.

:07:43. > :07:49.Interest ring aggression of weather for the rest of this week which

:07:50. > :07:54.could end up as a crescendo on Saturday involving heavy rain. Rain

:07:55. > :07:58.in the shorter term forecast, heading in from the south. It is

:07:59. > :08:03.knocking on the door already and will make a miserable day tomorrow.

:08:04. > :08:09.Rain pushing up Rahm Northern France and get into southern part of

:08:10. > :08:12.England and Wales by the end of the night. Showers ahead of that. A

:08:13. > :08:15.relatively mild night except in the northern half of Scotland.

:08:16. > :08:21.Temperatures will get down into single figures. But that is the area

:08:22. > :08:28.that ends up with a dry start tomorrow. Across most of the

:08:29. > :08:32.country, it is a mass of rain. It will ebb and flow, but there will be

:08:33. > :08:38.heavy bursts and the some places it could rain on and off all day. By

:08:39. > :08:41.the afternoon the rain has din Scotland as well, except in the

:08:42. > :08:49.West. Dry conditions here and maybe hang onto sunny conditions. Western

:08:50. > :08:50.parts of Wales and south-west England will be drier
