Police investigating how a man's body ended up | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
at a recycling facility in Bristol believe it was taken there amongst | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Workers at the Biffa site in Avonmouth found the remains of the | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Yesterday morning, workers at this recycling site | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
Human remains were found in one of the units | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
which turned out to be the body of Matthew Symonds, a 34`year`old | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
At first, forensic teams concentrated on the Avonmouth site, | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
but this morning it emerged that Mr Symonds' body was probably brought | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
here amongst commercial recycling waste collected in Swindon. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Results of a post mortem examination on his body aren't expected | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Meanwhile, police family liason officers are working with | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Biffa, who operate this site, is one of the country's largest | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
waste companies and in a statement to the BBC today it | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
said it takes health and safety very seriously and is conducting | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
At the moment police are remaining tight lipped on the finer details | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
of their investigation although the focus is now here in Swindon. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
The detective leading the inquiry wouldn't even confirm | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
where in Swindon Matthew Symonds body might have been transported | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Officers are, though, keeping an open mind and say they're | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
treating Mr Symonds' death as unexplained, for the moment. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Steve Knibbs, BBC Points West, Swindon. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
Hundreds of people gathered in Bristol today to call for an end | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
They marched from a mosque in the Easton area through the city centre. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
Members of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities came together. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
The Bishop of Gloucester, the Right Reverend Michael Perham, | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
has announced he's standing down with immediate effect. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Bishop Michael was due to retire in November but a message to clergy | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
said he was leaving the post for "personal reasons". | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
No further details have been given by the diocese of Gloucester. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Motorists have been trying out a temporary toll road built | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
He created the short cut after the Kelston Road was shut | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
It won't be repaired until the end of the year. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Drivers now have the option of a more direct route. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
It doesn't have planning permission yet and costs ?2 per car. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Since the road closure, it has impacted on my life and | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
thousands of other people who are in the same situation, so by opening | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
this road, which is a toll road at whatever the cost, is helping people | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
What we have asked for is the operating plans, | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
the health and safety conditions and we have also sought assurances | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
that it wouldn't actually delay the permanent repairs. | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
It is bound to go through Salford, isn't it? | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
So we are quite happy coming through here. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Because it saves me fuel for a start. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
There's a lot of people been put out a long time | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
having to go a long way and spend a lot of money for doing a few miles. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
It's been a whirlwind of a day for Bristol gymnast Claudia Fragapane. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Yesterday she became the first Englishwoman to win four | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
golds at the same Commonwealth Games for 84 years. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
To the delight of family back home, the 16`year`old took gold | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
in the floor to add to earlier victories and it's really only just | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Getting four medals is absolutely amazing. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
I wasn't really expecting to come out with four. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
I was only expecting to get the gold for the team | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
and hopefully come in the top three in individual and to come out with | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
In netball an agonising final`second winning goal for New Zealand left | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
Bath players Stacey Francis and Serena Guthrie and the rest | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
They'll have to content themselves with a battle against Jamaica | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
for bronze tomorrow, as will England's men's hockey team | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
which includes Simon Mantell from Spaxton near Bridgwater. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
They lost their semi`final against Australia. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
Now they'll play New Zealand for bronze. | :04:12. | :04:12. | |
Today brought a mixture of sunny spells and showers | :04:13. | :04:31. | |
and we have got some more showers to contend with for this evening. | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
They are being blown through on some fairly brisk winds, | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
actually, but we will see some clear spells through the night as well. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
That breeze, though, keeping things fairly mild. | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
Temperatures of 12?C to 14?C by the end of the night. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Now, for most of us, tomorrow starts on a bright note. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
There is a risk of one or two showers here and here, | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
but generally for most of us it should be a dry day, | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
quite a blustery one, though, once again, with highs of 21 Celsius. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Then, some sunny spells to come, but still a risk of some showers. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
There's more from Points West tomorrow here on BBC One. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
that you have a very good evening, goodbye. | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
It has been one of those days, Sony for some and pouring with rain for | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
others. Locally there has been intense downpours. Further west, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
resolutely cloudy and wet across the heart of Scotland | :05:32. | :05:32. |
