:00:48. > :00:55.into action. Rulings have been taken, the bunting is out. From
:00:56. > :00:58.walking on water to music and dance, we will have all you need to know
:00:59. > :01:13.about what is happening this weekend.
:01:14. > :01:16.Good evening. A young man from Keynsham near Bristol is among the
:01:17. > :01:19.nine British people who've died in the plane crash in eastern Ukraine.
:01:20. > :01:22.Ben Pocock was in his second year at university. He was a first class
:01:23. > :01:25.student on his way to Australia to study. Tonight his family said he's
:01:26. > :01:27.going to be terribly missed. Andrew Plant reports.
:01:28. > :01:31.A bright student who loved to play sport. Ben Pocock had just finished
:01:32. > :01:34.his second year at university and was on his way to study in Australia
:01:35. > :01:36.` working towards his international business degree. But after leaving
:01:37. > :01:39.Amsterdam yesterday, his flight to Malaysia was shot down, killing all
:01:40. > :01:45.298 people inside. Today many of those who knew Ben discovered the
:01:46. > :01:49.news that he was one of those on board. Ben grew up in Keynsham near
:01:50. > :01:52.Bristol. In a statement today his mum and dad said: "The family is
:01:53. > :01:56.devastated to confirm the loss of their son in yesterday's disaster.
:01:57. > :02:00.He was a gifted academic, talented athlete ` but more importantly a
:02:01. > :02:07.warm, caring, fun`loving son and brother. Ben is going to be terribly
:02:08. > :02:10.missed not only by his family but by the wider Keynsham community. A
:02:11. > :02:39.strong cricketer, Ben also loved to play competitive Frisbee, even
:02:40. > :02:42.winning player of the year. He had been a pupil at the nearby Wellsway
:02:43. > :02:53.School before going on to Loughborough University. This
:02:54. > :02:56.evening, they said Ben was destined to achieve a first class degree.
:02:57. > :02:59.He'd just passed his end of year exams. He was due to spend six
:03:00. > :03:02.months in Australia. An extremely bright future ` cut devastatingly
:03:03. > :03:06.A coroner has said that neglect was not a factor in the death of the
:03:07. > :03:09.Wiltshire schoolboy Horatio Chapple, who was mauled by a polar bear
:03:10. > :03:12.during an arctic expedition. The inquest in Salisbury heard that the
:03:13. > :03:14.group was missing items of equipment ` including parts of a tripwire
:03:15. > :03:17.system. However the coroner Ian Singleton said these failings hadn't
:03:18. > :03:28.caused the 17 year old's death. Jon Kay was at the inquest in Salisbury.
:03:29. > :03:41.The teenager was dragged from his tent by a starving polar bear and
:03:42. > :03:47.died. The beer savaged other people on the expedition before it was shot
:03:48. > :03:54.dead. Among them, Patrick, who had to start the animal in the face to
:03:55. > :04:06.stop it biting him. Everyone screaming, really scared. It grabbed
:04:07. > :04:11.my arm, it grabbed my head. Choosing the inquest, Horatio Chapple's
:04:12. > :04:17.family heard there had been feelings in this safety equipment taken by
:04:18. > :04:23.the expedition. The court was told that trip wires has been defective
:04:24. > :04:29.and had been repaired using paperclips. The family argued it
:04:30. > :04:34.wasn't just the tripwires that had been a problem. They said a rifle
:04:35. > :04:39.supposed to protect the group hadn't fired straightaway. And the group
:04:40. > :04:49.hadn't held a beer watch on the night of the attack. But the judge
:04:50. > :04:59.said they were not contributing factors in his death. A leading
:05:00. > :05:05.the tripwires are meant to work, the the tripwires are meant to work, the
:05:06. > :05:14.scared off a polar bear. Polar bears are by far the world's largest land
:05:15. > :05:19.predator, in size, weight and probably also power. It is
:05:20. > :05:24.undescribed the power they have. Tonight, Horatio Chapple's family
:05:25. > :05:32.issued a statement, describing their loss. He was an incredible
:05:33. > :05:39.character, more than anything. He was incredibly funny, but not always
:05:40. > :05:46.intentionally. He had away about him that was always jovial and polite,
:05:47. > :05:55.but really fun. He was in a house between a lot of different types of
:05:56. > :05:58.people. He bound everyone together. The British Schools Exploring
:05:59. > :06:03.Society has carried out a review into the attack and introduced
:06:04. > :06:10.changes. Every group going to the Arctic must have the Arctic must
:06:11. > :06:14.have a polar bear an alarm system. Tonight the family of Horatio
:06:15. > :06:23.Chapple praised their son's courage and kindness and asked for privacy.
:06:24. > :06:26.A new Urgent Care Centre in Bath has been officially opened today. It's
:06:27. > :06:29.designed to take the strain away from the Accident and Emergency
:06:30. > :06:31.Department at the Royal United Hospital. The unit first opened its
:06:32. > :06:38.doors to patients in April and is one of the first of its kind in the
:06:39. > :06:49.A waste recycling plant near Bristol is to reopen after a series of fly
:06:50. > :06:51.infestations. The facility at Avonmouth was shut after people
:06:52. > :06:54.living nearby said they were plagued by flies. The city council said it
:06:55. > :06:57.had served an order on the plant, requiring it to stick to strict
:06:58. > :07:07.One of the country's leading civil rights campaigners has had his work
:07:08. > :07:09.officially recognised today. Paul Stephenson was given an honorary
:07:10. > :07:12.degree by the University of Bristol. He organised the Bristol bus boycott
:07:13. > :07:15.in the sixties, which led to black people being employed on buses in
:07:16. > :07:17.the city for the first time. Andy Howard reports.
:07:18. > :07:20.Paul Stephenson's face will forever be etched in Bristol history. The
:07:21. > :07:23.face of the Bristol Bus boycott in 1963 ` protesting against a company
:07:24. > :07:26.which refused to employ black drivers or conductors. A face which
:07:27. > :07:29.beamed when the 60`day campaign won Paul Stephenson's face has travelled
:07:30. > :07:32.far and wide. He was once arrested for refusing to leave a pub until he
:07:33. > :07:35.was served. He was Bristol's first black social worker. He's a freeman
:07:36. > :07:38.of the city, and already has one honorary degree from the University
:07:39. > :07:41.of the West of England. Paul Stephenson can look at his own face
:07:42. > :07:45.in the mirror, and know he changed things. The Queen thinks so too ` he
:07:46. > :07:48.received an OBE in 2009. Today, that face was smiling again, collecting
:07:49. > :07:50.an honorary degree from the University of Bristol. Not before
:07:51. > :07:53.time, for some. Maybe that's because he feels the job isn't done. This
:07:54. > :07:56.was a first class moment for Dr Stephenson and his family ` one Paul
:07:57. > :08:44.Stephenson could've never imagined as a boy.
:08:45. > :08:50.My teacher on my last school report said this boy is a disturbing
:08:51. > :08:59.influence. That was my last school report.
:09:00. > :09:02.A Somerset postwoman has had the shock of her life on her rounds in
:09:03. > :09:05.Yeovil. She opened the van doors to be confronted by hundreds of bees
:09:06. > :09:10.that swarmed around and started chasing her. It turns out they'd
:09:11. > :09:12.escaped from a parcel she was delivering. Clinton Rogers has the
:09:13. > :09:21.story. Carar Tyer's deliveries are a little
:09:22. > :09:32.more mundane today. No live bees today, but she'll not forget her
:09:33. > :09:50.No, in case you're wondering why anyone
:09:51. > :10:00.I opened up the van and there were all these bees. I think I screamed,
:10:01. > :10:06.and the neighbours came out. It wasn't a good experience.
:10:07. > :10:08.No, in case you're wondering why anyone
:10:09. > :10:17.would post a parcel of bees, Parcelforce say it's actually not
:10:18. > :10:31.bees, make sure the package is secure and clearly marked. In the
:10:32. > :10:36.case of Cara's 2,000 bee delivery, she wasn't stung and the insects
:10:37. > :10:42.were eventually gathered up by an expert and safely delivered leaving
:10:43. > :11:00.Final preparations are underway for a special memorial service tomorrow
:11:01. > :11:02.for the BBC radio presenter Trevor Fry. The much loved regional
:11:03. > :11:05.broadcaster died at home last month aged 68. The service, which can be
:11:06. > :11:10.attended by the public, is at Clifton Cathedral in Bristol
:11:11. > :11:17.tomorrow evening and doors open at half past seven.
:11:18. > :11:20.Now one of the UK's biggest free festivals has just begun in Bristol.
:11:21. > :11:23.Around a quarter of a million people are expected at the Harbour Festival
:11:24. > :11:28.this weekend ` so let's hand you over to Sarah`Jane Bungay, who's on
:11:29. > :11:47.the waterfront tonight. Hello, Sarah`Jane.
:11:48. > :11:55.We're expecting vessels of all shapes and sizes. Over the last four
:11:56. > :12:03.decades, this event has grown and grown. Now stretches over an area of
:12:04. > :12:08.two miles. We have tolls ships, we have tax, we have barges. Those are
:12:09. > :12:47.my personal favourite. They looked absolutely beautiful, best tuned
:12:48. > :12:54.with flowers. You can see a contingent that has come from Wales
:12:55. > :13:01.for their weekend in their cruisers. We have some of the toll ships. You
:13:02. > :13:12.may recognise this one from some films. It is registered in Bristol,
:13:13. > :13:17.but was built in Denmark. This one was built in Bridgwater and spent
:13:18. > :13:23.many years tramping the seas, delivering tiles and bricks as far
:13:24. > :13:31.afield as Ireland. Cruising down towards this bridge, which will be
:13:32. > :13:42.among the boats that come from all over. We're going to talk to one of
:13:43. > :13:47.the organisers, Nick Williams. You have of the entire stick evening.
:13:48. > :13:59.Take us back to the history of this. It was 43 years ago when they
:14:00. > :14:05.started this to fight for their rights to navigation. As we spin
:14:06. > :14:12.round here, we will be joined by some of the people from the Bristol
:14:13. > :14:17.crews. They have been here all day, they have been drinking since the 11
:14:18. > :14:25.a.m.. They are really enjoying themselves. You must be really proud
:14:26. > :14:30.of this. I am part of a big team who have produced this and when you see
:14:31. > :14:35.this, it makes it all worthwhile. It is worth about ?10 million of the
:14:36. > :14:43.local economy, and the images helped to put Bristol on the two list map.
:14:44. > :14:48.This is one of the bigger visitors to the docks, which is owned by
:14:49. > :14:55.their Merseyside Maritime Museum. It used to be a host ship for the Royal
:14:56. > :15:01.yacht Britannia. They had to be very careful when they were tucking it
:15:02. > :15:06.is, because they couldn't scuff the sides. I have to leave you know, I
:15:07. > :15:12.have a few minutes to get over to the Queen Square. We have a few
:15:13. > :15:17.minutes. If you are coming down, make sure you enjoy the walk around
:15:18. > :15:30.the harbour. It has never looked so good.
:15:31. > :15:34.longer an industrial dock, but Bristol does still has a working
:15:35. > :15:38.boatyard right in the centre of the city. That's unusual ` and its
:15:39. > :15:40.boatbuilding industry is likely to get stronger when a new multimillion
:15:41. > :15:42.pound heritage centre opens. Our business correspondent Dave Harvey
:15:43. > :16:02.You find out about the Bulls which still here. I think we take it for
:16:03. > :16:09.granted that they build boats are now doorstep. Today we watch Tim
:16:10. > :16:13.working on this oceangoing boat. I have been waiting for years to find
:16:14. > :16:21.somebody bold enough to paint their boat this colour. It is busy at the
:16:22. > :16:27.moment, but historically, boat building has always been one of the
:16:28. > :16:39.first industries to get it when the is a recession. You don't have to be
:16:40. > :16:42.a nosy reporter to come in here, that the extraordinary thing. The
:16:43. > :16:47.yard is open to the public, so Bristol people can see what this
:16:48. > :16:53.city is making. I meet a Dutch architect turned boat builder. He is
:16:54. > :16:59.passionate that this traditional craft should continue in the centre
:17:00. > :17:02.of the city. But it is only possible because the boat yard is run as a
:17:03. > :17:10.charitable trust, not a moneymaking business. There is not a lot of
:17:11. > :17:16.money on it, the margins are small. So if we had to pay commercial
:17:17. > :17:23.rents, we wouldn't be here. This is part of a ?4 million project to tell
:17:24. > :17:28.the story of Bristol's boat builders. Just don't call that a
:17:29. > :17:35.museum. They won the money because the yard. The full working crafts
:17:36. > :17:38.men and. As I left, blacksmith Jule Williams was firing up her forge, an
:17:39. > :17:52.ancient skill kept alive in the heart of the city that likes to do
:17:53. > :17:59.things differently, Bristol fashion. I have been flicking through the
:18:00. > :18:03.official Festival guide. It mentions everything going on, the fireworks
:18:04. > :18:12.at ten o'clock on Saturday night. We have lots of dancing, ballet, salsa,
:18:13. > :18:32.jazz. We have been picking out just a few highlights from the programme
:18:33. > :18:39.to show you. We're incredibly excited, because
:18:40. > :18:43.this year we're moving to this amazing space on College Green.
:18:44. > :18:49.People have a rocket, a flying trapeze ring. It will have a baby
:18:50. > :18:59.race, you can make a jet rocket pack. It will be here on College
:19:00. > :19:07.Green from 12pm to 6pm on Saturday. I am Katie from Dans Village. We
:19:08. > :19:12.will have a whole programme of dance. There will be performances on
:19:13. > :19:19.the main stage, performance flying through the air and performers
:19:20. > :19:25.dancing in a supermarket trolley ballet. There will also be classes
:19:26. > :19:29.for anyone to take part in on Cathedral walk. They have also got a
:19:30. > :19:36.programme for families this year, so come down and join us. This weekend,
:19:37. > :19:40.you will see a sport called fly boarding. You will see a sport
:19:41. > :19:46.called fly boarding. You're attached ski and you use the power of the jet
:19:47. > :19:54.ski to levitate you in the air. You can do insane things, probably
:19:55. > :20:04.getting it wrong and falling in, which happens quite a lot. Just some
:20:05. > :20:17.of the things on offer this weekend. One of the festival highlights is
:20:18. > :20:22.this. We have this four`year`old dog, who is looking superb in the
:20:23. > :20:28.sunshine. Tell me what you will be showing off the model. Don't buy the
:20:29. > :20:36.Princes Bridge, we will be doing new found land water rescues. We have
:20:37. > :20:41.been doing this for the past 18 years. Docks: The water, people go
:20:42. > :20:48.in the water and the dogs rescued them. It is always a favourite with
:20:49. > :20:54.the visitors. I have you been `` how long have you been training him
:20:55. > :20:58.for? They start training from six months, getting confidence in the
:20:59. > :21:03.water, making sure the dog is happy in the water. We get them used to
:21:04. > :21:08.holding and retrieving things in the water. We take them in the boat, get
:21:09. > :21:13.them used to being in the boat. Then we take them out of the boat,
:21:14. > :21:18.pulling people, pulling boats. Sadly, you have lost a couple of
:21:19. > :21:24.your dogs this week, but you see people come down as a the dogs are
:21:25. > :21:36.very sensitive. They do react to the crowd. We do have a very young team
:21:37. > :21:42.this year because we have lost the docks. They are asking people to get
:21:43. > :21:53.behind us, the dogs, everyone. I do very much. Scott Ellis is where the
:21:54. > :22:05.party has started over at Queen's Square.
:22:06. > :22:09.We made it onto dry land here in the square. There are hundreds if not
:22:10. > :22:16.thousands of people here. On such a warm evening, I can't blame them for
:22:17. > :22:21.having some West Country cider. This is just one of the venues around the
:22:22. > :22:31.harbour. It is the main one. What are the night? You have just missed
:22:32. > :22:39.the reggae orchestra, but we have the inventor of punk music from
:22:40. > :22:45.Washington, DC. He lives in Frome now and he has one local musician
:22:46. > :22:49.playing with them. If anyone wants to come down, there is still plenty
:22:50. > :22:55.of room for them to squeeze in. Lots of them on Saturday, including
:22:56. > :23:00.people who were on The Voice this year. Yes, we prove total musical
:23:01. > :23:10.Bristol is by having two people in the finals this year. We disagree
:23:11. > :23:20.about the main attraction on Sunday. We will always love
:23:21. > :23:29.Talismanic, but we are introducing another band as well. My tours would
:23:30. > :23:35.be Talisman, the old Bristol reggae band. You will see them down here on
:23:36. > :23:45.Sunday. But what will the weather be like over the festival? I saw bits
:23:46. > :23:53.like this. `` I hope it is like this.
:23:54. > :24:05.We have some pictures tissue you about the thunderstorms. `` we have
:24:06. > :24:20.some pictures to show you about the thunderstorms. Looking at the
:24:21. > :24:25.forecast, I will start with the sequence of how the lightning spread
:24:26. > :24:29.across the West Country Judy the course of yesterday evening. You
:24:30. > :24:40.will notice how it's split into different directions. The headline
:24:41. > :24:53.for the moral, backed up by another beautiful photograph is going to be
:24:54. > :24:59.a focus on later tonight into the moral, thunderstorms for some. There
:25:00. > :25:07.will be dry and sunny weather about with the threat of further showers
:25:08. > :25:18.and thunderstorms. Sunday is a better day, less showers, war dry,
:25:19. > :25:33.sunny weather. Tonight, showers starting to creep up. The amber
:25:34. > :25:40.warning is out and that is where we sit as we head into the model, with
:25:41. > :25:47.the amber warning being the focal point for the destructive weather.
:25:48. > :25:58.Some of these showers and storms already on the radar. Past midnight
:25:59. > :26:09.into the early hours, we have this higher threat of torrential
:26:10. > :26:15.rainfall. Temperatures tonight will be about 16 or 17 Celsius.
:26:16. > :26:25.Tomorrow, the first cluster of founder storms paling up to the
:26:26. > :26:29.North. There is the threat in the late afternoon and evening of
:26:30. > :26:44.further heavy showers are thunderstorms starting to develop.
:26:45. > :26:52.Temperatures for the moral in the brighter spells should be up to 22
:26:53. > :27:04.or 23 degrees, then a better day on Sunday.
:27:05. > :27:15.Plenty to see here at the weekend. Don't forget the fireworks at 10pm
:27:16. > :27:22.on Saturday. Radio Bristol have a stage, go and meet the presenters
:27:23. > :27:28.and here are the free music. One of the acts performing is Immigrants
:27:29. > :27:39.Swing. They are going to players out of the programme. `` they are going
:27:40. > :27:47.to play us out of the programme.
