actor Rick Mayle has died suddenly at the age of 56. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Hello and welcome to BBC Pohnts West with Will Glennon and Ali Vowles. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
As activists plan protests outside the Government's listening post | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
in Cheltenham some think the spying has gone too far. | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
We are hoping that the government will actually listen to what the | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
people want. That has to be more important than what any corporation | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
has two C. We ask tonight, does the Government | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
know more about you than it should? Also in the programme, | :00:38. | :00:43. | |

ago ` how one D`Day veteran's been The online activist group Anonymous | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
is organising what it calls a mass protest over three days at GCHQ to | :01:04. | :01:15. | |
highlight concerns over privacy The group says claims that GCHQ | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
routinely tap into everyone's Internet data is immoral | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
and an invasion of human rights The Government intelligence agency | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
said all their work is necessary It's a year since Edward Snowden | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
first leaked information cl`iming that GCHQ sifts through vast amounts | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
of the public's Internet data. At the weekend, | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Stephen Fry condemned the practice in a recorded message for | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
a large privacy event in London The fear of terrorism we all have, | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
the fear of the unknown that we all share, the fear of enemies who hate | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
us is a duplicitous and deeply wrong means of excusing | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
something that?s based as spying on The online activist group Anonymous | :02:04. | :02:06. | |

come to you to show our outrage Anonymous is calling it a m`ss GCHQ | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
protest. I met one of the group | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
at her home in Gloucestershhre who told me hundreds of people have | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
pledged to turn up with manx coming to try | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
and protect everyone's priv`cy. Nobody wants to feel as | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
if their every move is being watched, as if every piece | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
of data is being collected. People strongly believe it hs | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
illegal, so that?s why we?rd protesting ` not only to brhng | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
more awareness to it, but to tell The last time GCHQ faced protests | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
was following the union ban This time it could be potentially | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
large numbers It may be a cause a concern for | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
security although police told me today it was too early to dhscuss | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
what their response will be. When asked to comment, | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
GCHQ reiterated to me that the work carried out here | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
in Cheltenham is carried out under a strict legal and policy framework | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
that is all authorised, When it comes to the August protest, | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
the spokesman told me that GCHQ respects the right | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
of people to protest peaceftlly A man's been arrested on suspicion | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
of causing death by dangerous driving after two | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
people were killed and thred people The accident was between a van | :03:47. | :03:49. | |

in the early hours this morning The westbound carriageway w`s | :03:54. | :03:55. | |

and two women accused of importing vast quantities of cocaine `nd | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
cannabis from Jamaica to Brhstol. The jury heard how | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
an organised crime gang ran the This report | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
by our home affairs correspondent, The cocaine was | :04:40. | :04:53. | |
smuggled out of Jamaica as part The jury heard how the cocahne was | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
held in storage warehouses The cannabis went | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
by container ship to Holland and But the gang was being targdted | :05:01. | :05:04. | |

and homes by Operation Anthhll The crime boss behind | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
the smuggling was Orville S`lmon, who the jury were told has `lready | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
admitted his part in the sc`m. He was tracked in | :05:15. | :05:30. | |
a covert operation to Wolverhampton for a tense meeting with a Liverpool | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
gang who he owed money to. He was handed half a kilo of heroin | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
to help him pay off his debts. And this Bristol pub closed down | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
after Operation Anthill detdctives raided the coach house was `t the | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
very heart of the smuggling empire. Landlord Radcliffe miller and his | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
wife Beverley are accused of running the day to day operation through | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
a cover company R Imports. Back in Jamaica, the drugs were | :05:50. | :05:52. | |

Bristol, they ended up here One such consignment of 146 kilos | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
of cannabis was intercepted by Dutch police and the drugs never | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
reached their intended desthnation. Altogether, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
six gang members deny chargds of smuggling and the conspiracy to | :06:08. | :06:08. | |
supply Class A and B drugs. More on our main story about a | :06:09. | :06:29. | |
protest at GCHQ. Doctor Julhan Richards joins us now, who tsed to | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
work there are no lectures hn security. Does GCHQ no more than we | :06:34. | :06:46. | |
like them too? It now a lot about us but it knows a lot about targets | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
that it is protecting us ag`inst. That involves a lot of data | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
gathering. As GCHQ have said it is done in accordance with the law I | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
think we have to trust that to an extent. Is there anything wd can do? | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
Is there is a protest, will it affect policy? Quality, you mean? | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
What they are actually doing. Will it affect government policy? No On | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
one level, it is lawful to protest about these things and that is no | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
problem, that is democratic. The scale of this protest is hard to | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
anticipate because of the n`ture of the group and the number of | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
connected groups. That will be connected groups. That will be | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
headache for the police and for anyone else. Do you think Internet | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
surveillance will end or will it get worse as the Internet becomds more | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
of a part of our lives? It light not get worse. It may get more | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
sophisticated. The fact is that everybody communicates via the | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Internet so if governments `re going to protect us from terrorists and | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
other groups like that, thex need to have mechanisms for monitorhng what | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
happens on the intranet. Thd question is how they do that and how | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
they avoid collateral damagd in doing so. Once more, cuts are | :08:28. | :09:06. | |
looming. In 2010, Gloucestershire went far and fast to reduce its | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
spending. Since then, the Government has made ?140 million of savings. It | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
is now predicting that a further ?75 million needs to be cut over the | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
next three years. There has been pain and protest. Threats to | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
libraries caused particular outrage. Volunteers filled the gap. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Now comes the hard bit, changing the way that the vulnerable are cared | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
for. If we don't make this change, there is the chance we will not have | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
the money to protect them in future. That is a national issue. Wd think | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
if we make them now, we can deliver the changes and still be thdre for | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
people who need is the most. Looking after the elderly, disabled and | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
children takes up 66% of thd budget. Well demand is growing. We dstimate | :10:09. | :10:17. | |
that there are around 16,000 older people in Gloucestershire who are | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
below the poverty line. The anxiety is that people are going to slip | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
through the net and not be cared for, and worst`case scenario, end up | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
dying. Gloucestershire launches a public consultation today on how to | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
spend less. It will be up to councillors to decide how they are | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
delivered. A Bristol mother is calling for a | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
change in the law to better protect child sex abuse victims when they | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
give evidence in court cases. She's supporting a new campaign bx the | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
NSPCC. We've changed her nale to protect her identity. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
It just isn't a child friendly You're about to be aggressively | :10:58. | :11:10. | |
questioned by a barrister, Victoria says this is what | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
happened to her daughter. But she said she had no ide` she | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
would be put through 'sheer hell? giving evidence via | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
a video link from the same court You never ever envisage | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
your daughter's going to be abused. Then you wait for a trial | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
for this case, and then you see your daughter being slanderdd, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
intimidated by a barrister. The paedophile | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
and his family looking at mx family in the court, trying to get her out, | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
before they come and see her. When she'd finally finished she had | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
to give evidence over two d`ys. When she finally finished, | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
she was like a shell. The NSPCC wants the court sxstem to | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
change, so the environment hs less alien and intimidating to children | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
who've already been through They want children to give dvidence | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
away from court, better explanation of legal | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
language, and training for `ll lawyers and barristers so no child | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
is ever brutally cross`examhned For Victoria, any change is too | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
late to help her daughter. And despite her ordeal, | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
she doesn't want to stop victims Without a doubt, | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
I'm glad we went to the polhce. And you have to go through | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
the system. We just need to get some ch`nges | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
in place to make the system better, so we get better evidence | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
from the children. Joining us live from Millbank is | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
the Government's Victims' Mhnister. Don't you think that victims of | :12:40. | :12:52. | |
sexual abuse are being let down There was a review 25 years ago and | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
they say nothing much has changed. That was true until recentlx. We | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
have now changed things. I sympathise with that mother and her | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
daughter's ordeal. That is why we have introduced a pre`trial | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
cross`examination so that young people don't have two be in court | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
with the people who may havd abused them. They can give their evidence | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
days or months before the trial from a safe environment so that they | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
don't go through that. We are piloting that in the courts across | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
the country. If that proves successful, we will call it out | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
across the whole country. Btt in 89% of children have to go into the | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
court and a mate see the perpetrators of the crime. `` they | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
might. I have every sympathx. It should have changed in the past but | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
things are now changing. We are doing that. We have had 60 cases so | :14:02. | :14:10. | |
far go through or be prepardd for the courts where we are doing this | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
pilot and children as young as four have been giving evidence | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
successfully. This is clearly working. It also helps the system | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
bring people to justice. The flood damaged Somerset | :14:25. | :14:50. | |
village of Moorland had The Earl and Countess of Wessex | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
spent about an hour in the village. It was part of a day | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
which saw them complete no fewer than six royal engagements hn | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
the county, from opening a hospital Raising the flag for a visit | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
which was to raise morale in this It's not every day you get to chat | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
to Royalty over the garden fence. The Earl and Countess | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
of Wessex were genuinely surprised Just about every home in Moorland | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
was swamped It is a real morale booster. It is | :15:17. | :15:28. | |
really nice to see everybodx happy. We have had so many bad timds. It | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
has lifted the atmosphere. As well | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
as meeting the flood victims, the royal couple chatted with some | :15:37. | :15:37. | |
of the volunteers who've bedn Now there's | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
a selfie to trump them all. You've got a nerve! If you don't | :15:41. | :16:09. | |
ask, you don't get! Today w`s a chance to wave a banner sayhng that | :16:10. | :16:19. | |
Somerset is open for business. They also visited Cheddar. The | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
combination of the words Solerset and flood is unfortunate but there | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
is no truth to the rumour. Ht is business as usual. There was also a | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
Somerset cider orchard to vhsit a supermarket to open, and a visit to | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
meet search and rescue volunteers. It brings a whole new meaning to | :16:49. | :16:49. | |
Royal variety. The Wiltshire snooker player Stephen | :16:50. | :17:04. | |
Lee appeared in court this lorning, and has pleaded guilty to fraud The | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
former world number five, from Trowbridge, has had a troubled few | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
years. Last month, he lost his appeal against a 12`year ban from | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
the sport for match`fixing. Laura Jones reports. | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
He had been described as ond of the most natural players | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
the game had ever seen. Ranked number 5 in the world, | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
a bright future beckoned. Today though, banned from | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
the professional game, Stephen Lee was in Swindon, at the Magistrates? | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
Court, to face a charge of fraud. The court heard that he had agreed | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
to sell his snooker cue to ` man in Hong Kong who paid ?1600 for it But | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
DQ never turned up. Lee was later arrested. They heard that she had | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
intended to send it but lifd difficulties got in the way. | :17:55. | :17:55. | |
Lee pleaded guilty but, spe`king to the BBC afterwards, said he | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
I'm guilty of taking the ?1600. I have not had the spare ?200 to send | :17:59. | :18:10. | |
it. That's what I'm guilty of and that's what they see it. | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
The 39`year`old has banned from playing professional snooker | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
for 12 years after being fotnd guilty of match fixing. | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
It was described by the gamd's governing body as the worst case | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
Last month, he lost an appeal against that ban. | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
Lee was today ordered to pax back the money he had received | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
for the cue and fined more than ?200. | :18:36. | :18:53. | |
Gloucester have described the appointment of new director | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
of rugby David Humphreys as 'a big statement of intent?. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
He's expected to start his new role with the Cherry and Whites later | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
this month, once he's compldted his exit from current club Tlster. | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Gloucester now want to appohnt a head coach to work with hhm. | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
David Humphreys was an Ulster legend as a player. | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Captain of their European Ctp winning team in 1999, he was | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
a top class international fly`half, winning 72 caps for Ireland. | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
But it's his achievements since retiring six years ago that | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
As director of operations at Ulster, he's overseen a rise | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
David, in the last four years, has been in the finals. He has taken | :19:26. | :19:40. | |
Ulster from being relativelx unknown and recruited star players. He has | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
made them a force in Europe. Humphreys will replace Nigel Davies, | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
who was sacked by Gloucester, But he'll be less involved than | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
his predecessor on the training field with ` head | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
coach to be appointed below him He'll inherit some big signhngs | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
including World Cup winner John Afoa And supporters are expecting | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
an improvement on last season's It's all about the blend. Nobody | :20:01. | :20:19. | |
will come in with a magic w`nd. For David, the first thing he ndeds to | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
do is to assess the quality of the squad and how he needs to m`ke best | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
use of it. This appointment to Gloucester following model that has | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
been successful at many clubs, having both a director Andy head | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
coach. The latter position hs still vacant, so his first job is to find | :20:43. | :20:58. | |
that man. Bristol Rovers' move to the new stadium has been delayed by | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
a year. They had hoped to move there for the 2015 to 2016 season but | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
construction work would be finished till later this year. One Wdst | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
Country man is a veteran of the D`Day landings. He has been awarded | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
France's highest medal. Major Alan Graham took place and the elotional | :21:30. | :21:42. | |
celebration in Normandy. Alhce is with him now. Welcome to thd house | :21:43. | :21:55. | |
of Alan Graham. He has just come back from the most amazing weekend | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
in Normandy, celebrating thd 70th anniversary of the D`Day landings. | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
He was given France's highest honour while they are. `` while thdy are. | :22:05. | :22:16. | |
How did you feel? I have a few medals but this was a highlhght I | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
was immensely pleased. It is a sign of the esteem that French pdople | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
hold veterans in. Everybody in France is well aware of what | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
happened. What was the highlight? Meeting Prince Charles? I h`ve met | :22:43. | :22:51. | |
him before. I think it was the warmth of the French people. The | :22:52. | :23:02. | |
