:01:35. > :01:36.Our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill's report starts with
:01:37. > :01:46.a very graphic description of an attack on a doctor from Bristol.
:01:47. > :01:54.I had just seen a patient who is convinced they had HIV. And I said
:01:55. > :01:59.what symptoms do you have? @nd he said you tell me. I knew thdre was
:02:00. > :02:03.something wrong as he had bden tested many times before. I did not

:02:09. > :02:10.closed, he came up behind md and try to chop my head off with a lachete.
:02:11. > :02:13.The scars may have healed, but for this sexual health constltant,
:02:14. > :02:20.the memory of an attack mord than 20 years ago is still very vivid.
:02:21. > :02:25.It is in UCD night that you knew you had been cut. Swipe my hand up and
:02:26. > :02:29.then screamed and ran away hnto the casualty departments. I sat down
:02:30. > :02:30.right next to the sister and the doctor and said I need pressure on
:02:31. > :02:32.this, and stitches. In Dr Greenhouse's case
:02:33. > :02:34.his assailant was prosecuted But according to data seen by
:02:35. > :02:38.the BBC, most hospitals in the West are failing to find out if justice
:02:39. > :02:44.is being sought for their staff All our hospitals are required to
:02:45. > :02:47.compile the number of assaults, Those can include cautions,
:02:48. > :02:54.fines and imprisonment. Figures show that for
:02:55. > :02:57.the past five years, North Bristol Trust has had a more than a thousand
:02:58. > :03:00.reported assaults on staff. Yet in not one single case has there
:03:01. > :03:05.been a declared sanction recorded The one hospital with
:03:06. > :03:16.a far better record is For the past 12 years, a police
:03:17. > :03:21.officer has been stationed here They had 757 reported assaults, but
:03:22. > :03:42.100 of those had declared s`nctions. It does make a difference. H'm here
:03:43. > :03:44.to respond to incidents that happen. But I'm also here to support the
:03:45. > :03:48.investigation teams. Apart from this hospital, no others
:03:49. > :03:50.were prepared to be intervidwed But statements from Great Wdstern in
:03:51. > :03:53.Swindon say they do not toldrate the abuse of staff and their managers
:03:54. > :03:56.will follow up any incident. Both they and North Bristol Trust
:03:57. > :03:59.say ultimately it?s down to individual staff about
:04:00. > :04:04.whether they contact the police Of course, many assaults involve
:04:05. > :04:08.vulnerable patients with conditions like dementia, but some hospitals
:04:09. > :04:11.still seem to have questions to answer about how seriously they take
:04:12. > :04:21.attacks on staff. Joining me now is the
:04:22. > :04:23.South West Regional Director of the Royal College of Nursing
:04:24. > :04:28.Jeannette Martin. As we've seen, attacks
:04:29. > :04:30.on staff can actually be extremely traumatic ` presumably you hear some
:04:31. > :04:39.pretty distressing stories? They are there to provide c`re and
:04:40. > :04:42.should be able to go into work and provide care in a safe environment.
:04:43. > :04:46.They are sometimes attacked because people are upset and angry. They are
:04:47. > :04:51.angry because they have been kept waiting but that is not the nurse's
:04:52. > :04:57.fault. They become frustratdd and attacks should not happen. What
:04:58. > :05:04.exactly should Hospital be doing across the board? They need a new
:05:05. > :05:09.approach. There needs to be enough staff so that patients can receive
:05:10. > :05:12.the care when they need it. Also, so you can see the early signs and so
:05:13. > :05:17.things don't escalate into violence. There should also be good
:05:18. > :05:22.security is that if staff nded to, they can call the help. We saw in a
:05:23. > :05:27.tip or that they officer was brought in to show a presence. Is that
:05:28. > :05:31.viable? That cost you much? Hospitals can have their own
:05:32. > :05:35.security systems in place. That particular incident they usdd a
:05:36. > :05:38.police officer. In other environments they will have their
:05:39. > :05:41.own security. The inky thing is that there is somebody there who staff
:05:42. > :05:47.can call on when they need help That there is somebody that will
:05:48. > :05:50.help them if Ireland occurs. Action will be taken afterwards. You
:05:51. > :05:56.mention some cases can be sdnsitive and an attacker may be a vulnerable
:05:57. > :06:01.person themselves that cloud the issue? Hospitals are not a sanctuary
:06:02. > :06:04.for crime. So just as if solebody was attacked in the street someday
:06:05. > :06:10.will need to be done about ht, it is the same in the hospital. Btt
:06:11. > :06:15.clearly, if you can see early signs and you can stop it before ht
:06:16. > :06:19.escalates, that is better. What we need to do is be sure that our
:06:20. > :06:22.nurses and doctors can work in a safe environment. Thank you.

:10:30. > :10:35.We have had an excellent response on the public. We have people come
:10:36. > :10:38.forward with additional information that we need to explore and
:10:39. > :10:42.follow`up. We have at other people come forward with names and
:10:43. > :10:45.obviously we are reviewing where they fit within the system on the

:11:13. > :11:17.of this appeal that we have a full DNA profile of the killer which
:11:18. > :11:20.enables us to either elimin`te or implicate people who come into our
:11:21. > :11:28.investigation. That is what we are doing, going round, taking swabs in
:11:29. > :11:33.order to obtain a DNA profile. You have got some specific names you are
:11:34. > :11:37.anxious to investigate further? yes. We have some names that havd been
:11:38. > :11:41.provided. We look at those `long with the others we have. We have
:11:42. > :11:46.thousands and we are reviewhng them. We look out where they fit with our
:11:47. > :11:50.matrix and it seems right and proper that as it has taken each rtbble to
:11:51. > :11:57.phone us up that we are prioritised that. We have been doing th`t and
:11:58. > :12:02.taking additional swabs. Wh`t a joy impression about the imminent is of
:12:03. > :12:07.an arrest? Well, there is no imminent arrest because that will
:12:08. > :12:10.only come when we get a restlt on a positive DNA swab. But I am

:14:46. > :14:59.from transport to finding cover Being a carer can be very stressful
:15:00. > :15:02.and really take your sense of confidence out of you. You need to
:15:03. > :15:05.know that other people are out there doing the same thing and th`t you
:15:06. > :15:14.can have a life of your own. This place provides us with the space to
:15:15. > :15:17.do that. Just take a look at the Garden potential here. You can see
:15:18. > :15:23.the carers outing on a summdr afternoon and it looks beautiful. In
:15:24. > :15:27.the UK that are almost 7 million carers. That is one in eight

:16:26. > :16:30.the godfather of the stunt kite He sold millions of them
:16:31. > :16:34.in the ?70s. PNow his children have taken over
:16:35. > :16:48.the family firm, It is the red arrows of kitds. Why
:16:49. > :17:03.Mac was still made by hand, 40 years on. But this time, Peter's sons are
:17:04. > :17:11.at the helm. Peter Powell's career as a kite tycoon has taken off. This
:17:12. > :17:16.kite was the toy to have in the 70s. It was toy of the year in
:17:17. > :17:24.1976, even outselling Lego. For Peter, it was sudden success on a
:17:25. > :17:28.grand scale. He was producing 3 0 kites a week and was happy with
:17:29. > :17:38.that. Until you went on a programme called Nationwide. He went through
:17:39. > :17:42.300 kites are weak to 25,000. So he opened up to factories and that
:17:43. > :17:49.wasn't enough, so he opened another three. Then he was making 74,00
:17:50. > :17:57.kites a week. Flying these kites became a craze. Flying on a hill
:17:58. > :18:07.with the wind, you can steer them and land them. It really tugs at the
:18:08. > :18:11.heartstrings. You never forget it. Peter wound down his business 3
:18:12. > :18:16.years ago. So when his sons are devised a modern version of his
:18:17. > :18:19.classic kite, they knew thex would need his approval. I walked in and
:18:20. > :18:23.gave in the bag. He put his hand inside the bike and pulled the kite
:18:24. > :18:30.out and he was absolutely astonished. He broke down and it was
:18:31. > :18:36.a very emotional time. Had that feel? it felt great. He has put his
:18:37. > :18:40.hand out and shook it and sdnt congratulations. And with orders
:18:41. > :18:43.coming up in New Zealand, Alerica and Australia, it appears this
:18:44. > :18:53.business is heading for gre`t heights once again.
:18:54. > :18:56.A rock star who used to plax for Genesis will be at the
:18:57. > :19:03.He's Tony Banks who plays the keyboards.
:19:04. > :19:09.But he's now reinvented himself as a composer of classical lusic.
:19:10. > :19:20.Andy Howard has been to watch rehearsals.
:19:21. > :19:33.They were, and still are, one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.
:19:34. > :19:39.Genesis have reportedly sold more than a records worldwide. So as
:19:40. > :19:45.musicians, you might think they had done it all. Not quite. Bec`use
:19:46. > :19:49.today, in this theatre in Dorset, Tony Banks, who played keyboards for
:19:50. > :19:54.Genesis, is preparing for hhs debut. The symphony orchestra in there is
:19:55. > :19:55.rehearsing for the first evdr public performance of one of Tony's
:19:56. > :20:14.classical pieces. The long hair may have gone and
:20:15. > :20:20.grade slightly, but the mushcal intensity remains. Today was fine
:20:21. > :20:26.tuning. The attention to detail is staggering. I made a few suggestions
:20:27. > :20:33.based on, I don't know, my experience with the orchestra and
:20:34. > :20:40.both me and Paul took all of them on board. That made for a very friendly
:20:41. > :20:44.collaboration. The fact that this music Festival managed to brew Tony
:20:45. > :20:53.Banks make the line between official and found very thin indeed. It as
:20:54. > :20:59.all the hallmarks of Tony's grasp of melody and harmony. Particularly if
:21:00. > :21:08.you get a bit and Iraqi and think back to 1977, 1978 year. Thd piece
:21:09. > :21:12.as a working title because Tony buyers couldn't think of another
:21:13. > :21:16.better one. So how is this 40 mini masterpiece going? It is a fairly
:21:17. > :21:20.traumatic experience becausd you just have one go at it. When you do
:21:21. > :21:24.these kind of rehearsals and new beginnings as peculiar, then it
:21:25. > :21:27.starts to coalesce and crystallises out of nothing. By the end, it
:21:28. > :21:32.sounded pretty good. I was pleased with it. If it had been the version
:21:33. > :21:40.on the day I would been happy with it. You considered using full colour
:21:41. > :21:53.in a? not with this. Sorry Genesis fans, I tried my best. As using have

:23:22. > :23:35.what about those who find football I thought this could be rubbish
:23:36. > :23:39.because it is all about football. But it is more about the hulan
:23:40. > :23:40.stories behind it. I've been bowled over by it and recommend it to
:23:41. > :23:41.non`football fans, too. The stars that played that
:23:42. > :23:44.unforgettable match are as famous as the game itself, with thd golden

:24:27. > :24:45.Indeed, we continue with those dry prospects as we head into tomorrow.
:24:46. > :24:51.Let me start off by showing you a lovely satellite photo courtesy of
:24:52. > :24:58.NASA. This was taken at abott 1 0 PM, not directly over head so it
:24:59. > :25:00.looks a bit skewed. But what it does show is how we have all this
:25:01. > :25:07.fairweather cloud building tp inland. You can see how the coastal
:25:08. > :25:11.strips are cloud free, courtesy of the breezes here. Those indded have
:25:12. > :25:16.invaded further eastwards and so many more of you are now seding a
:25:17. > :25:20.good deal of sunshine. I will be the story throughout tomorrow, some very
:25:21. > :25:21.warm conditions and temperatures somewhat up even from today. There
:25:22. > :25:25.is the chance somewhat up even from today. There
:25:26. > :25:30.is of an isolated shower or thunderstorm as we get late into the
:25:31. > :25:33.evening. I stress the word hsolated. So high pressure is dominathng the
:25:34. > :25:40.pattern, which has become a familiar for now. But towards the North West
:25:41. > :25:43.'s you can see clouds running through the course of tomorrow. They
:25:44. > :25:47.will be the source of the instability that could give rise to
:25:48. > :25:51.one or two showers. They should not take the shine off what will be a
:25:52. > :25:57.very pleasant summers day. For that matter, a very pleasant sumler's
:25:58. > :26:00.evening. Much of the cloud has disbursed, we were leading to clear
:26:01. > :26:07.skies through the cause of tonight, very light as well. And the
:26:08. > :26:12.temperatures by the early hours by daybreak tomorrow, will be `bout 11
:26:13. > :26:16.or 13 Celsius. The lowest wd will see is about eight Celsius somewhere
:26:17. > :26:20.in the countryside. There whll be some shallow mist and fog around in
:26:21. > :26:25.parts of Devon, but that will burn off readily at first light tomorrow
:26:26. > :26:29.morning. High UV levels agahn, very high pollen counts, those lhght
:26:30. > :26:33.winds remaining a feature. Luch like today, that's fairweather cloud
:26:34. > :26:39.tends to bubble up as you c`n further eastwards. Not so mtch on
:26:40. > :26:41.the coastal fringes though. Later on, through the course of the
:26:42. > :26:44.evening, we will get signals for the showers that will start to pop up.
:26:45. > :26:48.The slight probability of any of these spoiling your barbecud is
:26:49. > :26:52.extremely low. But cater for that possibility anyway. Particularly in
:26:53. > :26:59.parts of Gloucestershire whdre the threat tends to be higher. Parts of
:27:00. > :27:09.Wiltshire two. Temperatures tomorrow then, that will be the acid test. We
:27:10. > :27:11.may see probably 24 or 25 ddgrees in parts of Gloucestershire and
:27:12. > :27:17.Wiltshire. All of you should be safely getting close to the low 20s
:27:18. > :27:20.nonetheless. On Saturday, there will be more cloud around and maxbe some
:27:21. > :27:25.light, drizzling rain from time to time. That will not detract from
:27:26. > :27:32.what is a perfectly nice dax with temperatures at about 20 Celsius.
:27:33. > :27:34.Back to the same story on Stnday. Thank you Ian. Come and havd some
:27:35. > :27:35.strawberries and cream. finding out how people are getting
:27:36. > :27:41.on three months after
