following complaints Today Nick Gargan claimed | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
the investigation against hhm has been downgraded but says he still | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
doesn't know what he's done wrong. This report by our Home Aff`irs | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Correspondent, Steve Brodie. Nick Gargan, | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
seen here with the Police and Crime He has been suspended since May | :01:38. | :01:39. | |

Portishead headquarters. Today | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
in a statement issued through the Chief Officers Staff Associ`tion the | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Chief Constable broke his shlence on the allegations which have rocked | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
both him and his police force. He says he still hasn't seen any | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
detail of any allegations And says he's been told | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
the behaviour under investigation is not as serious as originallx thought | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
as it is no longer being investigated as a criminal latter | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
and he welcomes this. The IPCC say Mr Gargan has been | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
served with a gross miscondtct notice and say he will be | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
interviewed once all the information So what could happen | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
if found guilty? They would range from words of | :02:29. | :02:49. | |
advice to ultimately dismissal if it is gross misconduct. In between | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
those, you would have a find, final written warning. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
The Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens, who may ultimately | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
have to decide Nick Gargan's future, says she's getting regular tpdates. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
A childrens' charity in Bristol is demanding the government dods more | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
to help vulnerable youngsters, describing social services | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
The government has promised to end child poverty by 2020, | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
but Kids Company says time's running out and it's backing a new task | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
A new campaign video highlighting the plight of vulnerable yotngsters. | :03:22. | :03:34. | |
It's been launched by Kids Company which has helped 1500 deprived | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
children in Bristol, including Andrew Henderson, who was | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
I was sleeping on park benches in the middle of December. | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
There was snow on me and I had no food. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
And he thinks most people don't realise just how many youngsters | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
You see all the homeless people and don't really think that kids get | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
Loads of people have problels and there are more kids having problems. | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
The charity launched its calpaign in Bristol today, | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
a city where one in four chhldren grows up in poverty, higher than the | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Most deprived is Lawrence Wdston, where residents say there's been | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
We used to have playgroups `nd they used to help us in the commtnity | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
If you are in one area , yot don't get as much as the posher area. | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
The government wants to end child poverty by 2020. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
And says spending on child protection's incre`sed | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
But cuts in the number of social workers worry manx. | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
Those that are left are working their socks off. | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
How can you really that you can do the most work | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
if you are trying to cope whth numbers that are coming up? | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
The city council says it has comprehensive significantly fewer | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
resources to the help children compared to Bristol a few ydars ago. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
The council says it is having some successes. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
There is a troubled families project that has been going for two years | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
and helped 1000 households and another in associating with | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
the police called first response which is getting help through to | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
Well, joining me now is Esther Keller who's the director of Kids | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
You say there is a crisis btt there is no more money. Most councils have | :05:44. | :06:09. | |
33% cuts. The government saxs children's services are being ring | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
fenced. There is less money and children's services than evdr | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
before. The report isn't pohnting fingers at social services. There | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
are fewer resources, the system is being stretched. I wouldn't want to | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
be a stroke `` social worker nowadays because there are so many | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
dire situations and the casdloads are so big. We are trying to say to | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
the public, stand behind us and let us tell everybody that we bdar | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
witness to what is going on and encourage central government to | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
change policy and let us redesign children's services. Poured money | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
into early intervention bec`use crises are always very expensive to | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
deal with. `` poor money. It is hard on central government. Are xou being | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
hard on the parents who allow their children to live in these conditions | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
that we saw in that film? Why should we because if they haven't got the | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
resources to provide for thdir children, it is not their f`ult | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Letting their child's sleep on a piece of foam, is that not their | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
responsibility to make sure they have better facilities than that? | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
They should have the best that they can afford but if there is no money, | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
what can they do? In a housd like that, there would be no smoking no | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
television and no drinking? I doubted because if there is no | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
money, there is no money. Khds in Bristol are provided with food. We | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
do a food distribution to 16`year`olds with absolutelx no | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
money. Thank you. A judgement from the | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
UK Supreme Court which could change the law on assisted suicide is due | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
to be announced tomorrow. The case was initially brought | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
by Tony Nicklinson from Melksham. He had from locked`in syndrome | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
and wanted a doctor to be ldgally After his death his wife Jane | :08:14. | :08:18. | |

is incompatible with the European Up to a 175,000 people are `bout | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
to descend on a farm in Somdrset. That farm is Worthy Farm, | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
because it is, of course, All the final preparations `re being | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
made before Every year, this festival sdems to | :08:39. | :09:00. | |
swell in size, not just in terms of numbers but it is the scale of the | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
site and the last`minute preparations. It gets busier and | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
busier before the gates open. There is the iconic stage. That doesn t | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
have to be ready for tomorrow. That is for Dolly Parton. There `re other | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
stages here. There are over 200 performers over the next five days | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
and all of those performers and people will be hoping the wdather | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
stays as it has been today. Rumbling to the tune of last`minute traffic. | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
Percussion provided by the sky folders and alter the relentless | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
beat of a boiling summer. A year's worth of planning has a few hours to | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
go. This temporary town must be ready to support 170,000 people 500 | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
food stalls will feed them, 500 toilets will take their waste away | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
and 1200 acres of the farm will use them to sleep. Tomorrow, thdre will | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
be canvassed in every direction This final day is perhaps the most | :10:10. | :10:13. | |

million litres of water thex will need, even more if this son keeps | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
shining. These could be bestsellers this year. For one and a half | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
miles, this working dairy f`rm has undergone its annual transformation | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
and shortly after sunrise tomorrow, the world's biggest festival should | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
be ready to go. But far frol sleeping as the sun goes down, many | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
will be working through the night as somehow 1 million pieces of planning | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
all come together just in thme. You can see it is a bit of a buhlding | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
site here. You have to watch your step. There is so many cars | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
scurrying around to get the last preparations finished. It whll be | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
like that outside come earlx tomorrow as everyone tries to get | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
into the Glastonbury Festiv`l. The doors open at 8am. There is lots of | :11:09. | :11:14. | |

Somerset will be out and thdre will be details on our website. Thank you | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
so much. We've seen mud baths at Glastonbury | :11:24. | :11:26. | |

The one`man soap opera that started 40 years ago. | :11:51. | :12:03. | |
Thousands of cars built in Swindon are being recalled | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
Honda says it will contact owners of vehicles thought to have | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
A total of two million vehicles are affected worldwide. | :12:13. | :12:23. | |
Among them are five models built at its Swindon plant | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Patients in parts of the West have been left waiting | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
hours for transport to take them to and from hospital. | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
Last year private companies took over the running | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
of the non`emergency servicd in Somerset and Dorset. | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
But there have been numerous complaints. | :12:37. | :12:37. | |
Our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill reports. | :12:38. | :12:50. | |
Bob Champion likes to remember his daughter Michelle in happier times | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
before a major stroke last xear that left her with little speech. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
He says she was recently left waiting ten hours to return to | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
her care home after hospital treatment in Salisbury. | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
All sorts of things were beginning to upset her and it took a while to | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
keep her on the trolley in casualty. Until October, it was the | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
South Western Ambulance Service who took non emergency patients | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
between hospitals or back homes But since then, it's been | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
private firms doing the job. And in Somerset there | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
have been big problems. NSL who run services there failed to | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
meet three of the five basic standards on staffing, management, | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
and ensuring people's care There have been reports | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
of long delays in ambulances reaching patidnts | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
and appointments being missdd. A small minority may experidnce | :13:32. | :13:45. | |
delays. The vast majority of patients that we deliver to their | :13:46. | :13:57. | |
appointments early and on thme. This CQC is keeping an eye on how | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
patients are transported. L`st week it did a follow`up inspection with | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
NSL. Another private transport company is also falling foul of the | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
regulator. That comes as no surprise to | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
patients like Victor Redwood who It hasn't been very good. In the | :14:18. | :14:30. | |
beginning, it was awful. Thdy were getting here late and they were | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
picking people up to early `nd then not picking them up after dhalysis. | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
It is the not picking up after dialysis which is the worst bits | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
because that is when you fedl ill and that is when they arrivd late. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
As in Somerset, the company responsible in Dorset admit there | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
have been problems at the start but say things are getting much better. | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
But over the coming months, the watchdogs will be monitoring | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
both companies in the coming months in the hope | :14:59. | :15:24. | |
that patients like Michelle Champion won?t have to conthnue | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
A tennis player from Bath has had the biggest match | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
Samantha Murray, who's no rdlation to Andy, faced the former Whmbledon | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
Maria Sharapova is one of the best players in the world and Sal is used | :15:35. | :15:48. | |
to playing in front of smaller crowds the mess. Today was different | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
as she was on number one Cotrt. Could that home advantage thpped the | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
scales her way a little bit? Support is always guaranteed. Today the | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
Farnsworth cheering for Sam and not Andy. The first match. She lay be a | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
bit shaky but I think she whll do it. Last year, the ladies m`tches | :16:17. | :16:25. | |
went a bit funny so she may do it. Come on, Sam. Sam's family were here | :16:26. | :16:36. | |
to watch her. She might get a shock. The real one might turn up but maybe | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
she will be a bit disappointed. This is her lifetime dream so we're | :16:43. | :16:52. | |
looking forward to a great latch. Goliath was nine foot six when he | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
was toppled by a shepherd boy. If she can play her best tennis today, | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
you might see a giant fall on Court number one. Samantha Murray has | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
never faced an opponent as tough as this or played in an arena near as | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
big as this one. Both players got a warm welcome. Back at Bath | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
University where Samantha h`s trained, they were watching closely. | :17:20. | :17:30. | |
She had a few surprises for the 2004 champion. Soon she had her first | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
game on the scoreboard. Marha Sharapova was stirred into `ction. | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
Murray still had the crowd roaring her approval, showing flashds of her | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
ability in set to. Maria Sh`rapova raced to victory in just under an | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
hour. I can see what the level is. She is one of the best in the world. | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
I don't think I was that far away from her. The level, it is good but | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
it is match ball and I can go back and work on it and see what I need | :18:11. | :18:22. | |
to improve. She gets ?27,000 in prize money for competing in the | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
first round here today but `s she said, the lessons she will have | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
learned, the clues she will have got to know what she has to do to | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
improve her game to get to the next level and make sure she gets more | :18:37. | :18:37. | |
days like this. She is so positive. Hundreds of people lined thd streets | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
of Bath earlier to celebratd the return of the soldiers? final | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
tour of Afghanistan. Over 200 servicemen and womdn | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
from 21st Signal Regiment, based in Colerne, | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
paraded through the city centre It followed a homecoming service | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
at Bath Abbey. We have such popular support from | :18:58. | :19:10. | |
the people of Bath. It is a special day. It is so wonderful that they | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
are back and safe. It is good to be home and back to normality. It is | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
fabulous to have everybody back The officers and soldiers h`ve been | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
working in communication roles throughout Afghanistan for | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
the past seven and a half months. The wild boar population | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
in the Forest of Dean is now so high, the Forestry Commission | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
thinks hundreds need to be culled. There's been a big leap in numbers | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
and experts and scientists have come Here's our Gloucestershire | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
reporter Steve Knibbs. A morning stroll in the fordst, | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
but this is also boar territory and signs of them rooting | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
for food are plentiful. The latest thermal imaging | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
survey has found 819 wild boar It's likely there are many lore | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
but when you compare it to last year's survey when 535 were found, | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
the growth in numbers are obviously significant and that's leadhng to an | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
increase in the problems whhch the Forestry Commission say | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
the boar are causing. The ntmber of sports pitches that got hnvaded | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
during the winter rose last year. The number of people's garddns | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
that were invaded last year rose. The number of reports of attacks | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
on dogs, serious injuries to dogs. So the Forestry Commission now faces | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
its biggest ever cull In Germany, wild boar numbers are | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
increasing but culling hasn't made Sterilisation is also being | :20:27. | :20:35. | |
researched in the UK, But there are those who say | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
the Forestry Commission's fhgures are overblown and that the boar | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
population will actually look after The numbers in the forest now | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
would coexist quite happily The yearly increase in numbdrs | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
of piglets would naturally dissipate through the forest to find | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
their own territories, which they would then either be | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
killed by farmers or more n`tural If you leave this population alone, | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
it will not increase Whatever side of the debate, | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
the general consensus is, that wild boar are here to stay and c`n live | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
happily in reasonable numbers. Achieving that though, | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
isn't so straightforward. One of Britain's longest`running | :21:21. | :21:31. | |
radio dramas comes to The soap`opera Acrebury has been | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
telling the everyday stories of And what's made it unique is that | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
it's all the work of one man, Meet Jerry Hughes, a one`man soap | :21:40. | :22:17. | |
opera. Creator, writer and producer of Acrebury. | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
He has been doing this for 40 years. First on hospital radio in Swindon | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
and then on BBC local radio. That is all right vicar. 2000 episodes set | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
in a fictional Wiltshire village full of scandal, gossip and drama | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
and every voice is his. A Gtinness World Record for the longest running | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
soap opera. He has played 90 different characters. Children, men | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
and women. You do a female voice and then you can do her mother. If you | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
give her a posh voice, you have another character. If you go down | :23:11. | :23:20. | |
there like that, you have another. The characters are based on real | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
people that he has known in rural Wiltshire. The storylines from his | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
imagination. Did you hear that? Yes, I did. It was a gunshot. He deserved | :23:32. | :23:43. | |
it, Carol. Repeat these words after me... | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
Blood, oh my god estimation mark he is losing it, fast. Who the hell has | :23:52. | :24:02. | |
done this? You get on and you do it and nobody lets you down. No | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
artistic differences? Only with myself but that is another story. He | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
promised me one but he never got it. For decades after it began, tonight, | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
Acrebury comes to an end. Jdrry is retiring and his characters are | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
saying fire well. Doing this on his own and in his own time for tens of | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
thousands of hours has dominated Jerry's life but he is not giving | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
up. He is thinking about turning it into a book. I love it. It hs the | :24:39. | :24:50. | |
turning from one microphone to another. He is just brilliant. It is | :24:51. | :24:59. | |
up to the weather now and I`n is on the roof. You have done a special on | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
Glastonbury. If you are going to Glastonbury you | :25:02. | :25:14. | |
will find the first of the weather forecast updates on our website | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
Matthew has tweeted me saying there should be enough capacity in the | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
ground for extra rainfall. Ht is the heavier showers or thunderstorms | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
that could be problematic. No such worries for tomorrow. If we put the | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
graphics are up, we will find a good deal of fair weather tomorrow, | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
albeit plenty of cloud that will come with it. High pressure is still | :25:45. | :25:54. | |
dominating but a cold front is running through it during the course | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
after night. It will bring with it more cloud. Through tomorrow, is | :25:58. | :26:07. | |
will offer towards Somerset. There is a fair amount of bright weather | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
with that. Through this evening fine conditions are dominant. The | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
cloud is increasing and we have one or two isolated showers. By daybreak | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
tomorrow, there will be a great deal of cloud around. Temperaturds will | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
be in the mid teens once ag`in. Then we are into tomorrow. There is a | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
light breeze and sunny spells are becoming more prevalent. Thdre is | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
some showers around. The cloud will be quite inefficient. They shouldn't | :26:43. | :27:00. | |
affect Glastonbury too much. The temperatures are dropping btt not | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
think `` nothing too drastic. Further ahead, you will see this | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
change by the tail end of Thursday. This is where no pressure t`kes | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
over. The local detail of where it will rain versus Shine is going to | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
be difficult at this range. We could see some hefty downpours. That is it | :27:23. | :27:33. | |
for us tonight. The football is on later and the late bulletin is | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
later. For now, goodbye. | :27:36. | :27:46. |
