Six people were stabbed last night in separate incidents that happened

:00:10.:00:13.

` say police ` in the vicinity of the St Paul's Carnival in Bristol.

:00:14.:00:17.

All those injured were men in their early 20s ` including one who was

:00:18.:00:20.

taken to hospital for treatment. Scott Ellis reports.

:00:21.:00:26.

Saturday's carnival procession attracted tens of thousands

:00:27.:00:30.

of spectators as St Paul's hosted its famous free party.

:00:31.:00:39.

But as the clean`up got under way this morning, details emerged

:00:40.:00:42.

This is one of the crime scenes down here on Portland Square.

:00:43.:00:49.

There is blood at the entrance to this building here

:00:50.:00:53.

and earlier, there were chemical toilets just outside the front

:00:54.:00:56.

and inside one of them, smears of blood and signs that the police have

:00:57.:01:00.

Police say the stabbings are not linked

:01:01.:01:05.

The safety of the people coming to Carnival is paramount.

:01:06.:01:10.

I want them to come and enjoy themselves, and not to be afraid.

:01:11.:01:13.

But again, I can assure you, 98%, 99.9% of people coming to Carnival

:01:14.:01:18.

Personally, I felt the level of police involvement yesterday was

:01:19.:01:24.

I felt they engaged with the community,

:01:25.:01:27.

The police say it's unacceptable and disappointing a minority seek

:01:28.:01:33.

to ruin what is supposed to be a community celebration.

:01:34.:01:42.

A South Gloucestershire MP is leading calls for better

:01:43.:01:44.

A report will be launched this week in Parliament by Chris Skidmore,

:01:45.:01:49.

He wants fines for those building on green belt land.

:01:50.:01:54.

Critics that will increase the housing shortage.

:01:55.:01:57.

On the eastern fringe of Bristol, a protest against development.

:01:58.:02:06.

The local MP has repeatedly opposed the building of houses

:02:07.:02:09.

Now he wants the law changed, with developers made to pay

:02:10.:02:14.

I would actually like to see green belt protection go

:02:15.:02:19.

down to even more local level at a ward level and parish level.

:02:20.:02:23.

So that local people can say, this is our land and we want to

:02:24.:02:26.

In the West there are two green belts, nearly 7,000 hectares between

:02:27.:02:31.

Gloucester and Cheltenham, while ten times bigger is the Avon green belt.

:02:32.:02:36.

In reality, it isn't what a lot of people imagine.

:02:37.:02:39.

Take the 66,000 hectares that surround Bristol and Bath `

:02:40.:02:43.

the majority of it is actually classified as neglected land.

:02:44.:02:47.

Here in South Gloucestershire it's crisscrossed by motorways,

:02:48.:02:49.

Its green belt status means development is only allowed in

:02:50.:02:56.

They need to decide whether the most sustainable solution for development

:02:57.:03:05.

in their area is actually a rolling back of the green belt.

:03:06.:03:09.

They could replace that green belt on the outer boundary.

:03:10.:03:12.

The MPs' report will be launched this week.

:03:13.:03:14.

It?ll put more pressure on the government, already struggling

:03:15.:03:17.

In snooker, the West's Judd Trump has triumphed over home favourite

:03:18.:03:26.

Neil Robertson in the final of the Australian Open.

:03:27.:03:29.

The 24`year`old beat the world number two by nine frames to five.

:03:30.:03:34.

It was a fourth career ranking title for the world number six.

:03:35.:03:39.

Finally, Bristol's Make Sunday Special campaign went the extra mile

:03:40.:03:42.

today ` joining forces with the city's Cycle Festival and

:03:43.:03:46.

helping to get us in the mood for the Tour of Britain, which comes

:03:47.:03:49.

Just around the corner they were launching

:03:50.:03:53.

a week of events for Bristol Pride with dancing and dog shows.

:03:54.:03:56.

It culminates in a huge music festival next Saturday.

:03:57.:04:01.

The sun shone today, but what's coming up next week?

:04:02.:04:12.

A mix of sunshine and showers trundles the next week. Tonight,

:04:13.:04:19.

most showers tending to fizzle out. For most of us it is right overnight

:04:20.:04:25.

with clear spots. Frost patch could form in places or two. Dry and

:04:26.:04:32.

bright in many parts, but already there are showers starting to move

:04:33.:04:36.

in from the West. In the afternoon, they could become more aligned and a

:04:37.:04:39.

bit heavier, maybe with some thunder. In the following days, it

:04:40.:04:46.

is similar for Tuesday. Showers may become heavier particularly in

:04:47.:04:50.

eastern areas. A lull on Wednesday and a bit brighter also on Thursday.

:04:51.:04:57.

Good night. That's it. We are back in breakfast

:04:58.:05:00.

news tomorrow. Hello. We are going to carry the

:05:01.:05:13.

weekend weather into the first part of the working
