:00:10.:00:20.

He was murdered on the cycld path as he made his way home. The police

:00:21.:00:26.

money to buy this Cheltenhal Banksy? It was fantastic. I loved every

:00:41.:00:57.

minute. I am 60 and I will be here every year.

:00:58.:01:01.

And after the party, the clear up begins.

:01:02.:01:03.

We're at Worthy Farm as this year?s Glastonbury Festival

:01:04.:01:05.

The family and friends of a man found stabbed to death in an

:01:06.:01:10.

apparently motiveless attack have been describing their loss today.

:01:11.:01:13.

60`year`old Tom Rogers was found dead

:01:14.:01:15.

on a cycle path close to Swhndon railway station on Thursday night.

:01:16.:01:20.

His family have described hhm as a sociable and well`liked man.

:01:21.:01:23.

Detectives say it was an extremely vicious attack and they're

:01:24.:01:26.

Flowers have been laid alongside the cycle path on which Thomas Rogers

:01:27.:01:41.

was murdered as the police sift the way through more than 60 lines of

:01:42.:01:46.

enquiry. Tributes have been paid to the 16 old, including at thd pub

:01:47.:01:52.

where he was working that nhght Everybody is just chill shocked and

:01:53.:01:55.

disgusted by what has happened. `` so shocked. You will be verx missed.

:01:56.:02:01.

He was so reliable and everxbody cared about him. He is a good member

:02:02.:02:05.

of the team and he was alwaxs here a lot. He knew a lot of peopld here.

:02:06.:02:16.

So, yes, it is very sad. Tol's 5 adult son also paid tribute today.

:02:17.:02:20.

David Rogers said, it has not sunk in that my dad has gone and I will

:02:21.:02:24.

not be will to spend time whth him any more. His brother and two

:02:25.:02:31.

sisters live overseas and s`id in a tribute to date that Tom was a kind,

:02:32.:02:36.

unassuming, gentle man with a happy heart. Tom Rogers lived in Walcot.

:02:37.:02:42.

The police have been there `t this local flats for the past few days.

:02:43.:02:45.

Neighbours say it is where Tom lived although that is not confirled by

:02:46.:02:51.

officers. The police admit this attack on Thomas E cycled home is a

:02:52.:02:57.

challenging investigation. There is no apparent motive and it w`s a

:02:58.:03:00.

rookie would have used regularly to get to and from the pub. `` it was a

:03:01.:03:07.

foot. We have held it is quhte a bit area under that bridge. I do not

:03:08.:03:16.

know. `` Vandalia. There ard those who think this random attack might

:03:17.:03:20.

be linked to a mugger, perh`ps drunk or on drugs. This man told ts he was

:03:21.:03:25.

threatened in the town centre a week ago. I was verbally abused by two

:03:26.:03:31.

people, one of whom was verx aggressive. In the course of the

:03:32.:03:38.

abuse, he threatened to stab me should he see me again. That may or

:03:39.:03:42.

may not be relevant to this police enquiry but for sure, this `lmost

:03:43.:03:46.

random stabbing has shocked everyone. Renewed appeals for better

:03:47.:03:52.

security down the path known as mother's hourly. `` mugger's hourly.

:03:53.:03:59.

An attempt has been made to blow up a cash machine in Wells.

:04:00.:04:02.

The Fire Service was called to Waitrose in the early hours

:04:03.:04:05.

of this morning after smoke was seen coming out of it.

:04:06.:04:08.

Devon and Somerset Fire Service says gas had been pumped

:04:09.:04:10.

A similar incident happened at the cash machine last month.

:04:11.:04:14.

School children in Gloucestdrshire have been finding out

:04:15.:04:17.

about something that affects hundreds of pupils every ye`r

:04:18.:04:19.

Forced marriage was made illegal earlier this month

:04:20.:04:24.

and now experts want everyone to be able to spot the signs and help to

:04:25.:04:29.

Secretive, sensitive and until recently an often silent crhme.

:04:30.:04:37.

Forcing someone into a marrhage for cultural,

:04:38.:04:40.

It happens in towns and cithes across the country and this is a

:04:41.:04:52.

critical time of year. Camp`igners say that every summer hundrdds of

:04:53.:04:57.

young people disappear during the school holidays, forced into

:04:58.:04:58.

marriages against their will. So today, children

:04:59.:04:59.

from schools across Gloucestershire came here to a college in Ndwent to

:05:00.:05:01.

find out more about it. As soon as there is any pressure, as

:05:02.:05:13.

soon as there is a mental pressure to say you have to get marrhed to

:05:14.:05:17.

someone, that becomes a forced marriage. It is really simple.

:05:18.:05:20.

A fortnight ago, forced marriage became a crime but campaigndrs

:05:21.:05:22.

Everybody needs to think about what a forced marriage is. It is a

:05:23.:05:31.

managed that involves quartdrs from, it causes rape, domestic abuse

:05:32.:05:39.

and can lead to murder. If xou spot any signs of forced marriagd, doing

:05:40.:05:43.

nothing is not an option. You must report it and we cannot be

:05:44.:05:45.

culturally sensitive about ht. Last year there was more th`n

:05:46.:05:48.

1,300 cases of suspected forced marriage here in the UK ` more

:05:49.:05:50.

than 200 were in the South West 15% involved a child being forced

:05:51.:05:57.

into a marriage they didn't want ` and the vast majority

:05:58.:06:00.

of cases involved girls or women. We see forced marriage as p`rt of

:06:01.:06:09.

domestic abuse generally. It is the focus and energy of Gloucestershire

:06:10.:06:12.

Constabulary to raise the profile and status of this to make sure it

:06:13.:06:16.

is not tolerable. We do not tolerated and nor should anxbody

:06:17.:06:17.

else. Community leaders say it's

:06:18.:06:20.

something they're working h`rd on. We cannot shy away from the subject.

:06:21.:06:30.

If I am able to solve the c`se myself, then through my knowledge, I

:06:31.:06:34.

will try solving the case and if I feel I did not have the knowledge or

:06:35.:06:37.

are not in the position to solve it, I would refer them to the police or

:06:38.:06:40.

the council departments. By working together,

:06:41.:06:43.

forced marriages will start to Earlier I spoke to

:06:44.:06:49.

Jasvinder Sanghera, who has been campaigning for years for more to be

:06:50.:06:53.

done to protect people who `re being Her sister was so unhappy

:06:54.:06:56.

in her marriage she committdd suicide, and Jasvinder hersdlf ran

:06:57.:06:59.

away from home. Saying now was not an option. This

:07:00.:07:12.

was presented to me as an arranged marriage and something I had to do.

:07:13.:07:17.

As a result, my family took note of education and I was in my own home

:07:18.:07:21.

at the age of 15 and I was held prisoner in my own home at the age

:07:22.:07:27.

of I agreed until I was ill to plan my escape and I ran away from home

:07:28.:07:32.

at 16. `` able to plan. I h`d two choices as far as my family were

:07:33.:07:37.

concerned. I'm married to the said from this day forward I was dead in

:07:38.:07:41.

their eyes. I chose not to go back and subsequently I have been

:07:42.:07:46.

disowned for over 35 years. How difficult is that to break that

:07:47.:07:52.

cycle? You said you running away `` ran away, but culturally it must be

:07:53.:07:57.

difficult. It is, because your family make you feel guilty and

:07:58.:08:03.

ashamed. Might family made le feel I was going against my religion,

:08:04.:08:06.

tradition and culture. Thesd things were not true. Nowhere in any faith

:08:07.:08:11.

does it say you can support forced marriages and in fact it spdaks

:08:12.:08:15.

against them. As a young person I love my parents dearly and did not

:08:16.:08:18.

want to let them down. They made me feel like I was the perpetr`tor who

:08:19.:08:23.

had done this to them. It took me a long time to all and being ` victim.

:08:24.:08:27.

What you think about this change in the law? I am extremely supportive

:08:28.:08:34.

of the change. As a 40 gig old girl, I could not say to my familx, you

:08:35.:08:37.

cannot do this to me, it is against the law. For the first time today in

:08:38.:08:42.

England and were, victim can own this is a crime. `` 14`year`old

:08:43.:08:50.

:08:51.:08:53.

thinking that this is part of our culture, so the victim is lhkely to

get the right response and been believed. Whaddon Road schools

:08:58.:09:01.

taking up this issue and te`ching young children about it? `` what do

:09:02.:09:08.

you think about skills. Nathonally, we are not seeing a broader

:09:09.:09:12.

engagement from education. We are still having ad hoc schools doing

:09:13.:09:17.

this. There are many schools who are not willing to engage. We nded them

:09:18.:09:22.

to engage. Hearing about ten or 12 schools is not good enough. We need

:09:23.:09:26.

a national programme of school engagement if we can prevent this.

:09:27.:09:37.

Unbelievably, this is a last day of June already and are very w`rm

:09:38.:09:39.

welcome to a slightly later than usual Points West. It is qu`rter to

come, including... You get the groups here and hook them all. This

will go here and that is called the teardrop. Once you have dond

:09:54.:09:54.

that... The latest playground craze tying

:09:55.:10:01.

school children in knots. So the party is finally over,

:10:02.:10:05.

with thousands of people potring out For four days,

:10:06.:10:08.

the crowds have rocked to the sounds of everything from Dolly Parton to

:10:09.:10:13.

Metallica and even ballet. Andrew Plant has been with them `

:10:14.:10:19.

come rain, shine Before this year's Glastonbtry even

:10:20.:10:24.

started, 120,000 tickets selling out

:10:25.:10:29.

in less than two hours There was some controversy too,

:10:30.:10:33.

a metal band headlining the stage. And Dolly Parton bringing country

:10:34.:10:44.

and western into the West Country. As everyone here prepares to go back

:10:45.:10:48.

to their 9`5, the headlines, surprisingly, say both thosd acts

:10:49.:10:53.

were a great success. This was the festival where the

Deep South came We are going to be playing with

so many fans, so far from home. The best is probably Dolly Parton,

it is fantastic. Before most are even awake,

:11:28.:11:29.

the first wave A line like a human Hoover

:11:50.:11:56.

year's festival by scooping up what You can see

unwanted items, chairs, So much to clear up, but thd

Once the last person leaves, there will be weeks of work and

:12:44.:12:46.

tractors with magnets will suck up the leftover tent pegs, and metal

:12:47.:12:49.

left behind after what was, after all, a very heavy metal festival.

:12:50.:12:58.

Getting outside the gates of Worthy Farm is a fast car door and getting

:12:59.:13:03.

yourself home. Unless you'rd lucky enough to live nearby, you have to

:13:04.:13:08.

face the railway stations of the roads. After five days of this

:13:09.:13:13.

festival, that can be no me`n feat. Clinton Rogers has been looking at

the situation. When 100,000 party guests ldave at

:13:24.:13:29.

an hour and I have just comd from over there. That is just getting out

:13:30.:13:35.

of the car park. Still, there were few complaints. It is my first

:13:36.:13:38.

festival and it was absolutdly fantastic. I love David mintte. I am

some people looking forward to creature comforts. To our shower.

:13:50.:14:00.

What is your priority? A shower On the roads around Pilton, it was a

:14:01.:14:03.

good time to be on two wheels. Though, in truth, it was moving more

:14:04.:14:12.

freely than previous years. If there was a slight logjam, it was at this

:14:13.:14:17.

railway station. The one dax of the year when it resembles Paddhngton.

:14:18.:14:21.

We have had about 300,000 pdople passed through the station `nd it is

:14:22.:14:28.

ten a.m.. We expect 10,000 lore in total. Some people got a ch`nce to

:14:29.:14:36.

catch up on sleep or reminisce about what had happened. An incredible

:14:37.:14:44.

wonderland of dreams. And then home, after the train companies got rid of

:14:45.:14:49.

those unwonted festival traces. Just getting rid of the mud to kdep the

:14:50.:14:55.

trains clean. Doubtless, most, if they can, will be back again next

:14:56.:15:03.

year. This is normally a working daily farm. It has a herd of 40

:15:04.:15:08.

cows. There is an awful lot to do before it could be used for that

:15:09.:15:12.

purpose. Lots of local people are employed to clean up Worthy Farm and

:15:13.:15:15.

it will take several weeks to do so. The bad news for some peopld, and

:15:16.:15:21.

instead the sheer's festival, is that they will be no Glastonbury in

:15:22.:15:29.

2017. They will have a field year. There are still two more festivals

:15:30.:15:38.

before then. Do you think those cows come back and go, who did this? What

from around the world. But the freeholder of the house was working

:16:17.:16:19.

to sell what is technically his Banksy to a consortium of local

:16:20.:16:24.

businesses. It was a passion of the local community that protested

:16:25.:16:26.

against the removal of the peace. The freeholder had no idea this kind

:16:27.:16:31.

of intensity would be put on him. He has bowed to pressure, that is what
