An unexploded shell is found in a back garden..

:00:00.:00:08.

The army carry out a controlled explosion after a hundred homes

:00:09.:00:13.

As soon as it gets exposed ht becomes a volatile, so you think,

:00:14.:00:31.

why did it up? But we are bdtween two schools. You have to do

:00:32.:00:32.

something about it. A former skipper

:00:33.:00:38.

of the Matthew is sued for leaving Suspended ` the dentist who ran

a grubby surgery has his pr`ctise Good evening ` the Army movdd

:00:43.:00:47.

into a Somerset town today and blew up an unexploded shell that

:00:48.:01:06.

was buried in a back garden and The Bomb Disposal squad carried out

:01:07.:01:09.

a controlled explosion in Frome after moving the device which was

:01:10.:01:13.

fired by the British during the war. A hundred homes were evacuated ` but

:01:14.:01:16.

residents are moving back tonight. Scott Ellis has been

:01:17.:01:19.

following the day's events. We only have about 15 minutds. One

:01:20.:01:33.

of about 100 homes being ev`cuated this morning, this is the one where

:01:34.:01:36.

a suspected device was in the back garden. Fingers crossed it hs

:01:37.:01:42.

covered on insurance! I'm t`king the notes to read this afternoon! I m

:01:43.:01:48.

sure we won't need them. A lan in his 80s who used to live here

:01:49.:01:51.

recalled his father burying an incendiary device in the back

:01:52.:01:55.

garden. An initial survey established there was what the

:01:56.:01:59.

experts were calling a ferrous anomaly. They checked it with the

:02:00.:02:08.

magnet meter, which discovers ferrous items, they found 16 lumps

:02:09.:02:12.

of iron, of which two schools next to the garden. The

:02:13.:02:40.

idea of leaving it there because it's been there a long time, you

:02:41.:02:45.

can't take that risk, can you? Within hours, the Army was called

:02:46.:02:51.

in. They had found a device about a metre down, 14 inches long, four

:02:52.:02:53.

inches in diameter, everybody is happy because the bomb

:02:54.:04:01.

has been dealt with. Look at the pile of metal the bomb squad had to

:04:02.:04:05.

deal with. They had to check all these items. As for the garden, it

:04:06.:04:12.

is a blank canvas, I'm sure it will grow back, Terry and Paul are the

:04:13.:04:17.

relieved homeowners. What w`s your reaction when you saw the photo Oh,

:04:18.:04:28.

my days! It was dangerous. H was very laid back about it unthl I was

:04:29.:04:34.

checking the posts on social media and then I thought, OK! There is a

:04:35.:04:39.

bomb in the garden! What was your reaction? It was a proper bhg,! If a

:04:40.:04:47.

child was going to draw a phcture of a bomb, it was like that. What a

:04:48.:04:53.

great operation, it was textbook, but these things cost money, can you

:04:54.:04:58.

afford this every time? This is public safety at its best, this is

:04:59.:05:02.

where we can't take chances. There is no way of knowing it was here

:05:03.:05:06.

before that? We don't have ` special fund for it. You know about how the

:05:07.:05:15.

bomb got a? We're still working about it but the story is, ` young

:05:16.:05:19.

lad found it and brought it home as a souvenir, his dad said, you are

:05:20.:05:24.

not bringing that in this house and buried it. He brought it hole on the

:05:25.:05:32.

back of a bicycle! You can look at the garden once again, it is safe to

:05:33.:05:36.

jump up and down but as for why he buried it, it was the government

:05:37.:05:40.

advice at the time after thd war, if you had a device, you buried it and

:05:41.:05:44.

marketed, they would come along and deal with it, and about 70 xears on,

:05:45.:05:51.

they have! The garden does look a bit bare!

:05:52.:05:54.

A Cheltenham man has been sdntenced to life in prison

:05:55.:05:57.

Daniel Spencer will serve a minimum of sixteen years

:05:58.:06:00.

Her death is the second domestic murder case

:06:01.:06:03.

The first was Hollie Gazzard, the Gloucester hairdresser killed

:06:04.:06:06.

Both cases are now the subjdct of a Domestic Homicide Revidw.

:06:07.:06:15.

The former skipper of the historic ship the Matthew has

:06:16.:06:18.

been ordered to pay more th`n ?25,000 in damages.

:06:19.:06:21.

The Matthew is based on Bristol's Harbourside and is run

:06:22.:06:24.

The trust says it decided to sue after claiming the ship was returned

:06:25.:06:30.

She's one of Bristol's most iconic landmarks ` built

:06:31.:06:39.

in the city to commemorate 400 years since John Cabot sailed the original

:06:40.:06:42.

Matthew across the Atlantic, discovering Newfoundland in 149 .

:06:43.:06:50.

Much of the time since then she s been skippered by Rob Salvidge

:06:51.:06:53.

Most people have only ever seen a ship like this in a film or in a

:06:54.:07:05.

book or something. But now the Matthew's sailed

:07:06.:07:06.

into troubled waters. The charitable trust that now owns

:07:07.:07:09.

her has sued Mr Salvidge's company for damages ` they say

:07:10.:07:12.

when he quit as captain, he left It wouldn't have passed the Maritime

:07:13.:07:26.

and coastguard agency's anntal survey, and license, so we had to

:07:27.:07:31.

take action because of the state of the ship. It should have bedn

:07:32.:07:36.

returned in a condition that it was in at the start of the leasd,

:07:37.:07:41.

subject to fair wear and te`r but it was not.

:07:42.:07:44.

The county court awarded the trust ?25,000 in damages `

:07:45.:07:46.

to cover the cost of repairs they say they had to carry out to get

:07:47.:07:50.

Rob Salvidge, though, says he was never contracted to carry ott

:07:51.:07:56.

maintenance and repairs, and will be appealing that court judgement.

:07:57.:07:58.

The trust says as a charity it has to try to recover the money so

:07:59.:08:02.

people can continue to enjox this beautiful ship ` and that a debt

:08:03.:08:05.

It?s great to have you with us for Wednesday's Points West on this

:08:06.:08:18.

sunny evening. Do stay with us as there's plenty more to bring you

:08:19.:08:22.

tonight including ` we uncover the story of the Gloucester Rugby

:08:23.:08:25.

players who gave up the chance of sporting glory ` to serve their

:08:26.:08:28.

A dental surgery in North Somerset has been forced to close for failing

:08:29.:08:42.

Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission found

:08:43.:08:45.

patients at Woodborough Dental Practice in Winscombe were

:08:46.:08:48.

Here's our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill.

:08:49.:08:58.

The doors are locked. No ond will be treated at the surgery until at

:08:59.:09:05.

least next month. The CQC took the unusual step of closing the practice

:09:06.:09:10.

after an inspection in July found it was failing to meet all sevdn

:09:11.:09:14.

standards, so patients are having to find treatment elsewhere. It would

:09:15.:09:19.

concern me but I had no ide` and have always found them to bd clean

:09:20.:09:23.

and good. I have bad operathons on my mouth, it's always been fine

:09:24.:09:29.

never had a problem. For thdse patients didn't know is that their

:09:30.:09:32.

records are not being kept tnder lock and key. Instead they were in

:09:33.:09:37.

open filing cabinets in waiting areas and there were huge g`ps in

:09:38.:09:41.

the medical histories of sole patients, in one case, more than a

:09:42.:09:45.

decade. One local dentist f`iled to find out what medication and elderly

:09:46.:09:49.

woman was taken before giving her an anaesthetic. She then collapsed on

:09:50.:09:56.

the floor and he try to set up three times but she collapsed each time.

:09:57.:10:02.

He eventually called an ambtlance. The most serious failure was over

:10:03.:10:05.

the risk of infection from blood`borne disease like hep C. This

:10:06.:10:09.

is how dirty equipment should be sterilised before reuse. After the

:10:10.:10:13.

initial clean, equipment must be closely inspected, and sealdd from

:10:14.:10:21.

contact with air. But the CPC say that lit magnifying glasses were not

:10:22.:10:26.

being used to inspect equiplent and once this was clean and sterile it

:10:27.:10:30.

was being left in the open `ir for several days at a time. There are

:10:31.:10:37.

three dozen patients registdred with this practice, we have written to

:10:38.:10:41.

them because our concern is the ingenuity of care for those

:10:42.:10:44.

individuals. The letter explains how they can access other practhces

:10:45.:10:52.

locally. We have so far been able to get mad unable to convert anyone

:10:53.:10:55.

from the surgery. The findings have been referred to the General dental

:10:56.:11:00.

Council, which has suspended one of the partners, Doctor Nigel Smith.

:11:01.:11:08.

The Deputy Prime Minister Nhck Clegg was continuing his tour of the West

:11:09.:11:12.

Country today, talking about free school meals for the under sevens in

:11:13.:11:18.

Somerset. He started the dax at the Olive tree nursery in Bridgwater

:11:19.:11:21.

before going onto the residdntial in Taunton which teaches cookery

:11:22.:11:27.

schools to young people. Thd Coalition Government claims the

:11:28.:11:30.

policy will save families around ?400 a year.

:11:31.:11:33.

Some sad news now ` and a dolphin, spotted in the River Severn near

:11:34.:11:36.

It was filmed by local people a fortnight ago near Stonebdnch

:11:37.:11:40.

Conservationists said it was unusual for the mammal to be seen

:11:41.:11:43.

in the river and had hoped ht would swim out to sea.

:11:44.:11:46.

The bottle nosed dolphin filmed on a mobile phone appeared `ctive

:11:47.:11:54.

Although it was a long way from its usual habitat, thought to be off

:11:55.:12:02.

the coast of Wales, many hoped it would find its way back out to sea.

:12:03.:12:09.

It's all by sonar, it more or less knows where it is, it knows it's in

:12:10.:12:15.

a tight confines because of the sonar, it can tell it has b`nks

:12:16.:12:22.

It's not an issue. Sadly, it didn't make it out of the river, it's one

:12:23.:12:28.

of 600 strandings that happdn every year around the UK. A pathology

:12:29.:12:32.

technician will come tomorrow and take samples of its blubber to see

:12:33.:12:36.

if there are any toxins and try and find some answers as to what

:12:37.:12:40.

happened. These samples will give us a huge amount of information about

:12:41.:12:45.

the health of these dolphins, the pollution, toxins and potentially

:12:46.:12:50.

the effects humans are having on Wales, dolphins and porpoisds in the

:12:51.:12:51.

UK. So should humans intervene when

:12:52.:12:53.

a dolphin or whale is stranded? Nine times out of ten, the `nimals

:12:54.:13:02.

that come close to shore, that are in habitats they are not usdd to,

:13:03.:13:05.

are already compromised in their health, already potentially sick and

:13:06.:13:09.

are looking for somewhere to potentially die.

:13:10.:13:13.

There may have only been ond outcome for the ill fated dolphin.

:13:14.:13:17.

It will be removed from the river bank tomorrow.

:13:18.:13:24.

The latest now in our World War One at home series.

:13:25.:13:26.

When Britain declared war on Germany in August 1914,

:13:27.:13:28.

thousands of young men joindd up to fight for their country.

:13:29.:13:31.

Even the sporting stars of the early twentieth centtry were

:13:32.:13:33.

used to help recruit soldiers to fight in the front line.

:13:34.:13:36.

Many of those players also lost their own lives in the conflict

:13:37.:13:39.

In Gloucester the entire first team from Kingsholm enlisted.

:13:40.:13:41.

Sabet Choudhury has been finding out more.

:13:42.:13:51.

They were heroes in the makhng. Bright eyed, full of hope and ready

:13:52.:13:57.

to take up arms for King and country. Men from all walks put

:13:58.:14:02.

their life on the line in the name of freedom. Even the rugby stars of

:14:03.:14:12.

the day answered the call to fight. They were held up as symbols of what

:14:13.:14:16.

written should be doing, dohng the right thing. `` written shotld be

:14:17.:14:21.

doing. When you see your heroes doing that, you think I will do that

:14:22.:14:27.

as well. From the field of play to the theatre of battle, the Kingsholm

:14:28.:14:31.

men left their beloved Gloucester to fight in foreign lands. Little did

:14:32.:14:39.

they know, most would never return. Harry Berry is probably the most

:14:40.:14:44.

famous of the players who got killed in the great War, he would've been

:14:45.:14:47.

one of the celebrities who would have been looking to emulatd. He was

:14:48.:14:54.

a reservist and was called tp in 1914. He was killed in 1915. The

:14:55.:15:03.

attacking British were mown down by German machine guns. My grandfather

:15:04.:15:10.

in 1909 was picked to play for Gloucester, must've been like

:15:11.:15:14.

winning the lottery, it's all anyone to do, even in my childhood.

:15:15.:15:20.

Unbelievable. John Price loved to play rugby for faster but lhke the

:15:21.:15:25.

rest of his team`mates, he dutifully answered the call. But therd was a

:15:26.:15:35.

problem. He signed up with dveryone else and on the day they went, 00

:15:36.:15:42.

men marched off to the barr`cks the mayor arrives and says, I'm awfully

:15:43.:15:52.

sorry, but you are going here. He said, I have given my word to the

:15:53.:15:56.

king so I will go wherever he sends me. Not happy. Most is a wonderful

:15:57.:16:04.

regiment, but they weren't the Gloucester, where all his friends

:16:05.:16:08.

were. It was against the whole ethos of the Powells Italians. Kitchener

:16:09.:16:14.

said, join up with your fridnds and fight with them, he ended up

:16:15.:16:19.

fighting with people from the Black Country who we couldn't spe`k to.

:16:20.:16:25.

His wife was told of his de`th by friends on the front line who took a

:16:26.:16:32.

final oath. They said, this, missing, believed killed, is

:16:33.:16:39.

torture. If we see anyone, we will write and say, he is dead. That

:16:40.:16:42.

letter arrived before the tdlegram from the King. The Great War took

:16:43.:16:49.

away many promising sporting careers. Many never set foot on

:16:50.:16:56.

Kingsholm again. You have bden out on the pitch. That is the alount of

:16:57.:17:02.

ground that 11,000 men gave their lives for. The length of a rugby

:17:03.:17:11.

pitch. All those men. Gone, but the length of a football pitch. John

:17:12.:17:16.

Price and the rest of those players still live on here at Kingsholm

:17:17.:17:23.

Their memories, for ever carved on these walls, a sacrifice whhch

:17:24.:17:32.

should not be forgotten. Thdre is a big World War I tour coming.

:17:33.:17:36.

And there's a big BBC World War One tour coming to the balloon fiesta

:17:37.:17:40.

It's free and runs during the day from Friday through to Sund`y.

:17:41.:17:44.

I'll be there on Saturday afternoon when I'll be talking to Katd Adie.

:17:45.:17:47.

To present day sport ` and it's been a summer of change on

:17:48.:17:50.

Work has started on the redevelopment of thehr

:17:51.:17:54.

ground, and the manager has brought in half a dozen new players.

:17:55.:17:57.

Here's Ali Durden to tell us more about their chances this se`son

:17:58.:18:08.

There is plenty of expectathon on Bristol City, and promotion is a

:18:09.:18:15.

realistic target. Manager Steve Cotterill start is first full season

:18:16.:18:18.

in charge having transformed the team from relegation strugglers to

:18:19.:18:25.

12th place finish. They kept top scorer Sam Baldock so far and

:18:26.:18:29.

brought in six new players, including Luke Freeman. The bookies

:18:30.:18:37.

are putting city as third f`vourites for promotion. In addition, the

:18:38.:18:43.

transformation of Ashton gate is underway. It is heard roars of

:18:44.:18:51.

encouragement, shouts of frtstration and witnessed many tears behng

:18:52.:18:56.

shared but now the east end stand is coming down. It survived thd Blitz

:18:57.:19:01.

but can't survive the march of a football club wanting a stadium fit

:19:02.:19:07.

for the 21st century. Helen the largest round the corner and has

:19:08.:19:10.

watched this on fold from the upstairs of her house. Amazhng to

:19:11.:19:15.

see how quickly they took down the stand which I used to sitting, quite

:19:16.:19:19.

sad but exciting to see the beginning. They will be two new

:19:20.:19:27.

stands, and increased capachty of 27,000. The old pitch is gone. Now

:19:28.:19:33.

there is a new kid on the block with the price tag of ?1.3 million. It's

:19:34.:19:39.

a proven pitch, and mix of ` small amount of plastic that goes into

:19:40.:19:43.

below the ground which allows the pitch to stand the test of time

:19:44.:19:49.

Wembley used it successfullx, Swansea use it. We want to compete

:19:50.:19:52.

on a rugby and football point of view. And half a dozen new players.

:19:53.:19:58.

So this season, will there be raised expectations? Because of thd way we

:19:59.:20:05.

finished, definitely. Because of the size of the club we are, people will

:20:06.:20:08.

be looking to be at the top end of the table. When you look at the

:20:09.:20:15.

quality of the players brought in, no one can

:20:16.:21:45.

Barely able to breathe in c`se the whole thing goes Ping! You have done

:21:46.:21:49.

a couple of fixes on the wax. We did have to get changed in the car. It

:21:50.:21:55.

isn't going to be a traditional zip, how do you get into it? Over the

:21:56.:22:02.

head. One arm up each side. It was funny in the car! Why did you do

:22:03.:22:10.

this? We have a bit of a latgh working in the market in Trowbridge,

:22:11.:22:14.

the boys challenge to me to make things, we saw the one on eBay and

:22:15.:22:22.

they said, that you can't do that! So I went away, had a bit of a chat

:22:23.:22:29.

and thought, yeah, I would only do it if there was no stitching. I

:22:30.:22:35.

didn't want any sewing in there I wanted it to be one clip, which

:22:36.:22:44.

relate. She is saying her prayers. And you are a dressmaker? I'm

:22:45.:22:52.

actually a cleaner! I thought you were professional. How many packets

:22:53.:22:58.

did it take? We reckon about ?50,000. What will you do whth it?

:22:59.:23:09.

The boys use it for promotion. I think it will come sooner or later!

:23:10.:23:14.

You could probably even awash with it on! You want to stand up? Would

:23:15.:23:26.

you ever wear this? I can't say that on telly, maybe somewhere! Xou have

:23:27.:23:34.

accessorised it, you look lhke it might be up for wearing somdthing

:23:35.:23:38.

less run`of`the`mill. It's different, yeah, I don't mind

:23:39.:23:41.

putting it on. I would I wotld go out with it, not without taking her

:23:42.:23:48.

with me. Would you be able to wear it to work? It could be good for my

:23:49.:24:01.

job, I work in a tattooists. She is afraid to breathe! I have something

:24:02.:24:09.

else which I was asked to whip up. That is for you. That's verx sweet

:24:10.:24:17.

of you. That's definitely going in my wardrobe! Thank you very much

:24:18.:24:26.

indeed coming in and for modelling. I am really thrilled. Now, time for

:24:27.:24:36.

the weather. Later people wdnt to work thinking they had to t`ke their

:24:37.:24:37.

jumpers today. It is all turned out pretty much as

:24:38.:24:46.

planned, one or two showers around, parts of Gloucestershire at the

:24:47.:24:53.

moment. For tomorrow, there will be some nice views at the Bristol

:24:54.:25:00.

balloon Fiesta, it will be ` fine summers day. The chance of ` nice

:25:01.:25:05.

little shower but most placds will avoid those. `` isolated shower

:25:06.:25:15.

Liftoff is at six p.m., we dxpect things to shape up like this. The

:25:16.:25:21.

surface winds tomorrow could take some more towards the North`East, so

:25:22.:25:27.

somewhere between Bedminster and Winford is the likely avenud we will

:25:28.:25:36.

see the balloons. Despite a few showers, pressure is rigid hn over

:25:37.:25:45.

the next 24 hours, a load nhcely if you are looking for some settled,

:25:46.:25:54.

dry conditions. The rest of this evening, a few showers around, a few

:25:55.:26:01.

more through parts of Dorset, all of them fading away, leaving us into a

:26:02.:26:09.

dry night. Temperatures for the most part, 14 or 15 Celsius. Tomorrow,

:26:10.:26:14.

starting with a good deal of sunshine around. Just that chance

:26:15.:26:23.

that we might have an isolated shower but it's a small

:26:24.:26:28.

possibility. It should be a decent evening. Temperatures tomorrow,
