new Foreign Secretary will be Philip Hammond, moving

The family of Iranian refugde Bijan Ebrahimi,

:00:13.:00:15.

who was beaten to death outside his home in Bristol a year `go

:00:16.:00:18.

His sisters came to lay flowers at the spot where he died, `nd

:00:19.:00:23.

although a man's been convicted of his murder they say they're still

:00:24.:00:27.

waiting for answers about how the authorities handled the sittation.

:00:28.:00:39.

Flowers for a murdered brother. Exactly a year after Bijan Dbrahimi

:00:40.:00:47.

was killed outside his flat, two of his sisters returned to the scene.

:00:48.:00:51.

Bijan, who was originally from Iran, was beaten to death and then

:00:52.:00:58.

set on fire after rumours wdre spread that he was a paedophile The

:00:59.:01:03.

police say that those rumours were completely untrue.

:01:04.:01:10.

A a few days before he was killed, Bijan filmed the man who wotld later

:01:11.:01:19.

kill him. Lee James was jailed, along with another man who `dmitted

:01:20.:01:24.

assisting him. But that was not the end of the investigation. The last

:01:25.:01:29.

year, the Independent Policd Complaints Commission have been

:01:30.:01:33.

looking at the way that the police dealt with Bijan before he was

:01:34.:01:37.

killed. The Crown Prosecution Service is now deciding whether or

:01:38.:01:42.

not to charge three police officers and a two minute he support officer

:01:43.:01:47.

and investigations are conthnuing into six other officers and six call

:01:48.:01:55.

handlers. But after a year, no definite outcome.

:01:56.:02:01.

This weighting is unimaginable pain that we are going through. We are

:02:02.:02:07.

waiting to hear what will bd the final results and we cannot wait any

:02:08.:02:12.

longer to find out what happened to our brother.

:02:13.:02:20.

The Independent police 's `` Independent Police Complaints

:02:21.:02:22.

Commission said that it was a complicated investigation that was

:02:23.:02:27.

too serious to rush. His falily say that they want to see all of the

:02:28.:02:31.

paperwork about his dealing with the police as soon as possible.

:02:32.:02:34.

A company which runs a water park in Gloucestershire where

:02:35.:02:36.

a teenager drowned has admitted it breached health and safety rules.

:02:37.:02:39.

15`year`old Kajil Devi drowned at the Cotswold Country Park and Beach

:02:40.:02:42.

W M Active pleaded guilty in court to a charge brought

:02:43.:02:46.

But the firm denies being responsible for her death.

:02:47.:02:50.

Sentencing will take place in October.

:02:51.:02:55.

For the first time, doctors from the West are using

:02:56.:02:57.

psychedelic drugs to try to help people with mental illnesses.

:02:58.:03:00.

A team from Bristol is using a chemical found in magic mtshrooms

:03:01.:03:03.

to help people with conditions like post`traumatic stress disorder.

:03:04.:03:07.

But as our health correspondent reports, using illegal drugs

:03:08.:03:11.

in conventional medicine is still highly controversial.

:03:12.:03:18.

He was the first doctor in the UK to take a psycheddlic drug

:03:19.:03:23.

derived from magic mushrooms to see if was safe for medical use.

:03:24.:03:28.

Dr Sessa believes psychedelhcs could transform our understanding

:03:29.:03:32.

of the relationship between the mind and brain.

:03:33.:03:41.

One thing about the drugs is that I know about them and I know through

:03:42.:03:47.

my research that they are s`fe and relatively not toxic drugs from a

:03:48.:03:54.

physiological point of view. The main risks are the psychological

:03:55.:04:00.

risks if the drug is taken out of control and without being monitored.

:04:01.:04:09.

Now this laboratory is being used to monitor those who were taking

:04:10.:04:15.

psilocybin. This scanner shows the parts of the brain using thd drug.

:04:16.:04:29.

The doctors have overturned 30 years of resistance to this type of

:04:30.:04:33.

research. It has been an uphill battle, because it is much lore

:04:34.:04:38.

difficult to use psychedelic drugs for these type of trials th`n even

:04:39.:04:43.

harrowing. Now that the teal have shown that this is safe if taken in

:04:44.:04:47.

controlled settings, they hope to raise enough money to carry out a

:04:48.:04:52.

full clinical trial. With me as Doctor Tim Willi`ms who

:04:53.:04:58.

is involved in the study. If you get that funding, what would yot like to

:04:59.:05:01.

achieve? We would like to achieve by using

:05:02.:05:07.

this substance in a patient population. It could be a novel

:05:08.:05:13.

treatment to treat those with different types of mental illness.

:05:14.:05:18.

What is the most exciting thing to come out of the study?

:05:19.:05:22.

It looks like it affects thd areas of the pain `` brain to help those

:05:23.:05:30.

who are stuck in their medical `` mental illness. It could be really

:05:31.:05:35.

exciting if those results are proven further. In my day to day work, I

:05:36.:05:43.

see people who are very ill and very stuck in their mental illness. It

:05:44.:05:47.

would be great to have a new type of medication to help them recover

:05:48.:05:52.

Is there a danger that using illegal drugs as the repeat will make them

:05:53.:05:57.

more attractive to people as recreational drugs?

:05:58.:06:02.

We are very clear that this is a study using therapeutic drugs. In

:06:03.:06:08.

the same way that using such drugs in a hospital does not encotrage

:06:09.:06:10.

people to use harrowing. `` heroine. A road

:06:11.:06:16.

in Somerset is still closed after The road linking Ilminster with

:06:17.:06:18.

Langport has been closed since February, when heavy rain

:06:19.:06:21.

caused huge cracks to appear. Now the highways department believes

:06:22.:06:24.

land is slipping on the hillside and further tests are needed,

:06:25.:06:26.

making it difficult for loc`l people That's it, Newsnight's over on

BBC Two, asking why the Prile But now, let's get the weather

forecast, starting with the West. Some patchy and light rain loving

:06:34.:06:47.

eastwards. There will be sole warm and sunny spells around. During the

:06:48.:06:54.

night, there will be rain and drizzle. Temperatures will be very

:06:55.:07:01.

mild, 15 or 16 Celsius. Why tomorrow morning, a dry start. That will turn

:07:02.:07:07.

over and break up as the dax goes on. For the rest of the day, there

:07:08.:07:11.

will be a combination of sunny spells. A high pollen count once

:07:12.:07:17.

again. Temperatures will be up, so I won't be surprised if we sed 20

:07:18.:07:24.

Celsius. Looking beyond that, a cloudy and dry day to come. Turning

:07:25.:07:31.

more humid at the end of thd week, Thunder likely on Friday.

:07:32.:07:33.

Thursday. Of course, there is more chance of seeing thundery downpours

:07:34.:07:36.

as a result. Good evening. The forecast will

:07:37.:07:48.

divide the nation in two camps, one where you are looking forward to

:07:49.:07:51.

what is coming and the other where you may not be too keen. For those

:07:52.:07:56.

on their summer break, good sunny spells. Heat and increasing humidity

:07:57.:08:01.

starting to build, which later in the week will lead to some nasty

:08:02.:08:05.

thunderstorms. So such thunderstorms out there at the moment. Breezy out

:08:06.:08:12.

there. Sporadic showers. If your gardens need a watering, I can not

promise everywhere will see the
