Welcome to BBC Points West, with Alex Lovell and David Garmston. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
A brand new hospital ` with the same old problems. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
A paramedic blows the whistle on long delays | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
for patients arriving at thd Casualty Department at Southmead. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
They need to do something r`dical, and quickly, | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
to make sure that nobody gets put at risk and there isn't an unfortunate | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
A resident at a care home is found dead ` a man has been arrested | :00:25. | :00:41. | |
The disused cinema that will light up again | :00:42. | :00:48. | |

Country company that's drawn all the white lines for the World Cup. | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
A brand new hospital which cost ?430 million is suffering | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
from a lack of staff in the A department ` according to | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
a paramedic who says ambulances are queuing up for patients to be seen. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
The new hospital at Southme`d in Bristol has world class | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
facilities but the paramedic who's blown the whistle says therd's chaos | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
It's over four weeks since staff and patients moved from the old Frenchay | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
Hospital to the Emergency Ddpartment at the new Southmead Hospit`l. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
But during that time the department has had more than | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
A paramedic with SouthWest @mbulance Service has spoken to Points West | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Her words are spoken by an actor to protect her identity. | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
When we found out that Southmead was going to be 80 beds less, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
we knew right from day one we were going to be queueing. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
After 30 minutes of queueing, we hand over our patients to | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
a nurse who is in charge of all the patients in the corridor. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
I've seen her have over eight patients to take care of, | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
She often has to go off and they are left there on their own. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
I think it's only a matter of time before someone actu`lly dies | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
The union that represents m`ny ambulance staff say that | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
I have heard that there havd been some real problems at Southlead | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Hospital with paramedics behng held up, with patients in corridors who | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
are chronically or acutely hll, who have had some traumatic incident | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
So they need to be looking at contingency planning and risk | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
Because if we do not take ilmediate action, there will be something that | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
will happen that will be unfortunate but could have been avoided. | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
The hospital trust admit thdy've had difficulties but say that p`tient | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
I'm happy that we are providing a safe level of care. | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
I'm not happy that some people have had delays in their care, which have | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
I apologise to those people who have not had the best experience | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
But I'm confident people ard getting the right care. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
It's taking longer than they would want. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
And all of our efforts are focused on improving that. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
But for one relative of a p`tient, her experience | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
of the department left her wanting to avoid it altogether . | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
You should be seen fairly qtickly to be triaged, to assess how b`d | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
You're dealing with patients and patients must always take priority. | :03:37. | :03:47. | |
Everything must be ready and running smoothly | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
The South West Ambulance Service say they are working with the hospital | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
to minimise handover delays and are already seeing improvements. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
That can't happen soon enough for the paramedics and patidnts | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
Well, I'm joined now by our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill. | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
Matthew, what's really at the heart of the problem at Southmead? | :04:13. | :04:25. | |
This is because of a new ch`nge in policy in this region. Becatse | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
ambulances were being tied tp outside accident and emergency | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
departments, they said that they need to discharge patients dven if | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
there are no beds. So they need to run around to look for nursds to | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
keep a close eye and monitor patients in corridors and m`ke sure | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
they are safe. As you say, very few new hospital is being built. I am | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
told they do have extra beds but they do not feel the situathon has | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
been serious enough to warr`nt opening those extra beds. So this is | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
not unique to Southmead. Is it fixable? | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
This does happen at other hospitals and has been happening a lot over | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
the past months. It could bd fixed. But it is a mammoth task to move all | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
the staff and things will bd slow to start. People I spoke to sahd they | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
were expecting this to happdn in the first three months. If it c`rries on | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
beyond that, questions will be asked. Thank you. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a death | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
An elderly woman was found dead at the home in Yate yesterd`y. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Our reporter Andrew Plant h`s been following the story. | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
Oak tree house care home. The focus for forensics teams gathering | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
evidence inside. Police werd called here yesterday afternoon after an | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
elderly resident died suddenly in suspicious circumstances. A few | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
hours later, a 33`year`old lan was arrested on suspicion of murder | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
That man, say police, is not a member of the care home staff. This | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
place is owned by one of thd largest care home providers in the TK, the | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
own 450 care homes, and are the four seasons health care group. They said | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
they will support this lady's family as much as we can in this ddeply | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
distressing time. It would be inappropriate to comment further. We | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
heard from the police this lorning. They said this was a tragic but | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
isolated incident and said they are not looking for anyone else in | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
relation to this woman's de`th. Today, residents and staff stayed | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
inside. The 87`year`old wom`n has not been named and it is not known | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
the relationship, if any, she had with the man arrested. He is still | :07:07. | :07:07. | |
in custody. A coroner has called | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
for fog detection systems and for firework display organisers to | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
get more training to identify when Michael Rose has published | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
a report following the inqudst into the deaths of seven people | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
on the M5 near Taunton in 2011. Sabet Choudhury is here | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
with more detail. The crash involved 34 vehicles | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
making it one of the worst `ccidents on UK Roads for 20 years. Sdven | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
people lost their lives And it left 51 others injured. The causd was put | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
down to reduced visibility. There was undoubtedly fog in the `rea that | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
night` but questions were also raised about smoke from a ndarby | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
firework display and if it played a part in causing the collision. The | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
man who organised that display at Taunton Rugby Ground ` Geoffrey | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Counsell was cleared of failing to ensure public safety. Althotgh an | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
inquest into the seven deaths this year found that smoke did in fact | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
add to the poor visibility. Now the West Somerset coroner Michadl Rose | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
has published a report for the Department of Transport, thd Health | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
and Safety Executive and thd Department for Business, Innovation | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
and Skills. In it he calls for better training for fireworks | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
operators ` saying thorough risk assessments need to be prep`red | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
before displays; and a conshderation of whether firework operators should | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
be licensed. Although he didn't call for a minimum distance to bd | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
introduced between firework displays and main roads ` something families | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
of those who died in the cr`sh had been calling for. Michael Rose also | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
says that only automatic fog detection devices linked to warning | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
signs on the motorway could possibly Well, one of those campaignhng | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
for those handling fireworks to be licensed following the M5 crash is | :08:43. | :08:54. | |
Tonia White from Taunton who lost And she joins us now | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
from our Taunton studio. You have been through a terrible | :08:57. | :09:12. | |
time. Does anything that thd coroner said today help you? | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
There are a lot of positive points that the coroner has made and things | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
he brought up and it does hdlp us. We are tirelessly campaigning for | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
tighter restrictions dealing with fireworks, fog detectors on the | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
Monterey... Has he gone far enough? Not really. I think there are a lot | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
of things that can be done `nd should be done to prevent this | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
happening again. They need to have certain measures in place. What | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
would you say is the most ilportant proposals or measures? Well... They | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
all work together. I do not think there is one specific important | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
thing. But licensing for firework operators is a key thing. Also, the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
one thing he did not do is the distance from the roads. I, | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
personally, field batteries quite important. Because we get dhstracted | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
too easily as it is. That is quite a key thing for us. Do you thhnk that | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
perhaps the circumstances surrounding this awful tragddy were | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
so rare that there is anythhng that can realistically be done to stop | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
the repeat? That is the whole point, isn't it? To prevent a repe`t. We | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
have accepted we have lost our loved ones. There is nothing we c`n do to | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
bring them back. But we can prevent other people going through this | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
That is quite important. Th`nk you very much indeed for coming on the | :11:03. | :11:15. | |
programme. Will the sunshind continue this weekend? I have been | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
sent to Wiltshire this evenhng to do the weather forecast from a white | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
horse. Join me later. A young man | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
from Syria has been telling his amazing story about how he fled | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
the country after leading student He left Syria last year, | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
being smuggled in the back of lorries and taxis across thd border | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
with his 15 year old brother. He's speaking at an event in Swindon | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
tonight as part of National Refugee Week, saying he | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
wants the world to know abott the This is no ordinary Swindon | :11:55. | :11:57. | |

of hundreds of his fellow asylum seekers when their overloaddd boat | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
got lost in the Mediterrane`n. And he didn't even want to | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
leave Syria in the first pl`ce. My life was in danger. That is why I | :12:22. | :12:36. | |
left Syria. My political activities pushed me to go outside. How | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
dangerous was to leave? Verx dangerous for stop their wax I came | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
to the UK was dangerous. In footage shown exclusivelx to | :12:47. | :12:51. | |

All sharing rooms. You have come from a new country and you do not | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
know anybody. Weirdly you go? In Swindon, there are | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
around a hundred asylum seekers Hundreds of people have | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
lunch here every week. But Bristol Refugee Rights worries | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
it's on the brink of closurd. In September, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
unless it finds urgent fundhng, it'll have to cut the number of days | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
it can open from 3 days to just 1. Lots of charities are finding it | :14:05. | :14:16. | |
difficult to get funding. Wd are facing a situation where we don t | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
have all the money we need. Refugees say | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
when they come to this country, Places like this give them | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
a voice and a future. We're on later than usual tonight | :14:25. | :14:41. | |
because of a football match coming up. | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
It's been empty for more th`n a decade ` but now one of Bristol's | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
best known buildings is going to be refurbished and re`opened. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
The Whiteladies Picture House in Clifton will once again be showing | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
films ` after a new developlent plan was given the green light. | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
Those who know it well struggle to remember when the Whiteladids | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
This was 1997, when it was owned by the Odeon group. It was the height | :15:00. | :15:13. | |
of the dreary sophistication back in its day. Its day was 1921. The first | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
films were silent. Since 2001 it has been quiet. The picture house closed | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
80 years to the day after it opened. For 13 years the building h`s been | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
and used. But not unlock. There has been a campaign to try to rdstore it | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
to its original state. Last night, the City Council voted unanhmously | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
to turn it into a cinema but in the three screens. We're slightly | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
disappointed our plan will not be developed. But we're glad this will | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
be a cinema site. We have h`d many people sign our petition, w`nting a | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
performing arts space. It would be lovely to see a single auditorium. | :16:09. | :16:16. | |
The project is being funded by the Everyman group. This is how it looks | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
now. The group says it has set aside ?3 million for this developlent | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
They hope to show films agahn next year. I used to go to the ABC aged | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
eight. The former manager | :16:34. | :17:02. | |
of Gloucestershire non`leagte side Forest Green Rovers has landed one | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
of the biggest jobs outside Dave Hockaday has been annotnced as | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
the new head coach at Leeds United. He left Forest Green | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
by mutual consent in October after losing seven | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
of his last eight games in charge. Hockaday also played for | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
Swindon Town during the 1980s. Winter Olympian John Jackson is best | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
known for his exploits Back in February, John, | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
from Trowbridge, helped stedr Team GB to within tenths of a second | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
of a medal at the Sochi Gamds. But | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
for 17 years he's also been serving in the Royal Marines and recently | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
helped run a triathlon event Thanks to a partnership between Help | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
for Heroes and ParalympicsGB, he's hoping some of those injured | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
during active service can go We're running a rehabilitathon trial | :17:43. | :18:05. | |
for the Royal Marines. It involves swimming, biking and rowing. | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
Anything from a twisted ankle to people who have lost limbs will | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
participate and for them to get the feel`good factor is great. H was | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
blown up by a device and all the fragments smashed me from hdad to | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
toe. That is how it all beg`n. I have been through a lot of rehab. | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
Both legs were punctured and I had shrapnel on my face. Loss of | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
hearing. I flat lined. They sent me back to pass away with my f`mily. I | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
am still here today! The psychological aspect of knowing what | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
it used to be like to be a Royal Marine with that determinathon. It | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
has pushed me to take it to the next level. I am capable of more than | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
what I once upon a time thotght I would be capable of. If we can get | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
help setting this up, then that is better. There is a lot of scope for | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
that. Shooting is my sport. But I have done a lot of swimming. I | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
enjoyed triathlon. I'd like to do another. | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
I stand here as a 17 year Royal Marine and I take my hat off to | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
these guys. They are achievhng more than I could achieve. All these lads | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
doing amazing stuff and to be part of it makes you realise how lucky | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
you are. My story could havd ended so differently. It is amazing! We | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
have some football for you now. We have come outside because there is | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
an important game on tonight. We want to give you a challengd. When | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
you are thinking about the World Cup, think about the pitch `nd | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
imagine which part is from the West Country. This is from the m`tch on | :20:21. | :20:32. | |
BBC1 earlier. It is not the players we looking at, but what is on the | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
ground... It is the right lhnes and they come from a company from here | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
in the West Country. Thank xou for joining us. You're not in Brazil! | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
No. We have two stay at homd to do the work. Why is your product not in | :20:52. | :21:05. | |
Brazil? Yes. They have sprax marking machines in Brazil but prior to us | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
going be used to use paintbrushes and a bucket which took four hours. | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Now they can do it in 20 minutes. But why was your technology chosen? | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
Two years ago we decided we needed to increase our profile and wanted | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
to do the World Cup, so we went to Brazil and did some market visits | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
and appointed a distribute `nd supplied the Confederations Cup last | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
year, so that was a starting point. We'd like some more white lhnes on | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
the BBC lawn. Can you start up your machine? Let's get an idea of how | :21:43. | :21:54. | |
this works... It is important the lines are exact. They must be. Yes. | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
And they must be much straighter than that! And also, you have to | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
look at the grass and work `round that and make your technology | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
relevant to that. Yes. We dhd not realise that in Brazil the grass | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
grows laterally to protect the soil from heat. We had to make | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
