:03:55. > :03:59.operating theatre in any part of the world. But this is the main hospital
:04:00. > :04:07.for the entire Gaza Strip. Conditions outside are far from
:04:08. > :04:11.normal. At present the cease`fire is holding but for nearly 40 days the
:04:12. > :04:16.conflict between the Israelis and Hamas has raged. Since Rachael
:04:17. > :04:20.Craven arrived a few weeks ago, her summer holiday has been spent
:04:21. > :04:25.working to save lives. The pressure to treat the injured has been
:04:26. > :04:28.constant. Everything we have been doing is emergencies, so everybody
:04:29. > :04:31.who has chewiness, other problems, all those problems don't go away
:04:32. > :04:37.just because there is a war going on. They are piling up as well. It's
:04:38. > :04:42.the emergency workload which is the difference. Her main job is at the
:04:43. > :04:46.Bristol Royal Infirmary but is working in her own time for the
:04:47. > :04:51.international medical organisation. She has been with them to Syria and
:04:52. > :04:57.Haiti and is one of the first people the charity called you to her
:04:58. > :05:02.expertise. It is a typical setting, we turn to people like her, she has
:05:03. > :05:09.immense compassion and clinical skill, maturity, she can bring that
:05:10. > :05:14.altogether and ignore the chaos and confusion all around, she's an
:05:15. > :05:18.absolute star. The conflict has left around two dozen people dead. Like
:05:19. > :05:23.all aid workers, she knows what she's doing is making a difference.

:05:33. > :05:38.hospital. Having staff from overseas come in has meant they can take a
:05:39. > :05:42.bit of a rest. It is a sign that people are aware in the outside

:05:56. > :05:57.of being illegal immigrants have been found in a lorry in Somerset
:05:58. > :06:00.which was bound for Exeter. One man has been arrested
:06:01. > :06:03.and is being held by police. The lorry was stopped by officers
:06:04. > :06:06.on the A303 at the Southfield Those inside have been treated
:06:07. > :06:08.for suspected dehydration. Hamish Marshall is there
:06:09. > :06:23.for us tonight. This service station this afternoon
:06:24. > :06:30.was the centre of a major operation. The lorry was parked over there, we
:06:31. > :06:34.were able to watch as one by one, the suspected illegal immigrants
:06:35. > :06:37.came off the lorry and were checked over by paramedics. It involved
:06:38. > :06:42.Ambulance Service, police and Home Office staff as they looked to try
:06:43. > :06:45.and get more detail about how these people had come to get into Britain.
:06:46. > :06:51.Please tell me it was a very big operation. Everyone was ported
:06:52. > :06:57.individually, they sat with Vic paramedics, they have a
:06:58. > :07:01.comprehensive health checks and placed into one of our vehicles and
:07:02. > :07:06.taken to a place of safety. Would they tell you about how they came to
:07:07. > :07:11.be here? They said they got on at Calais, how they got to Calais I
:07:12. > :07:18.don't know, but they were hoping to get into the UK. The people have
:07:19. > :07:22.been taken to what police described as a place of safety this evening.
:07:23. > :07:26.They will be fed and watered, the Home Office will take the lead on
:07:27. > :07:31.what happens next. The police are liaising with the lorry company. The
:07:32. > :07:36.driver has told officers that he didn't know they were on his vehicle
:07:37. > :07:40.at the time. People saw them and heard them and that is how the alarm
:07:41. > :07:45.was raised. Still many questions to be answered in this case, that one
:07:46. > :07:47.man charged with aiding and abetting illegal immigrants to come into this
:07:48. > :07:52.country. Joining me in the studio is
:07:53. > :07:55.Andrew Wallis ` the chief executive of the Bristol based charity called
:07:56. > :08:05.Unseen, which supports victims If it turns out that these people
:08:06. > :08:11.were trafficked, what help can you give them? Tonight, they will be
:08:12. > :08:15.given accommodation, food and water and tomorrow, they will be
:08:16. > :08:17.interviewed by police and immigration services to work at
:08:18. > :08:21.whether they have been trafficked or not. If they have, they would be put
:08:22. > :08:28.into the national referral mechanism and they can access the Surrey
:08:29. > :08:32.support. We had the incident at Tilbury docks, now this, and other
:08:33. > :08:38.suspected case of human trafficking, will it become more common? And
:08:39. > :08:43.fortunately they are. The number of victims being identified in this
:08:44. > :08:48.country is increasing. We know from reports that the number of people
:08:49. > :08:54.trying to come into the country. Is this a problem that's going to
:08:55. > :08:59.continue, because of the situation in the Middle East? It is. The
:09:00. > :09:04.problem you have got is you have large chunks of the world suffering
:09:05. > :09:08.violence or incredible poverty or conflict, like the Middle East, and
:09:09. > :09:12.if people say, we can get you out of this situation, get you to the west,
:09:13. > :09:16.you can earn good money, of course that's going to be a huge trawl to
:09:17. > :09:22.people, they want to come to Western Europe. Is the UK a particular
:09:23. > :09:28.magnet? No more than any other country in the West. In the West we
:09:29. > :09:33.have so much, people say, I want a piece of that. Do you think the
:09:34. > :09:38.authorities now have a grip on this situation? It's patchy. There is
:09:39. > :09:45.more training and awareness that needs to happen, to identify people
:09:46. > :09:48.correctly, also to begin to understand the level of criminality
:09:49. > :09:52.involved in moving people around the world. Yes, it's better that it was
:09:53. > :09:58.put there are still room for improvement. Charities like you can
:09:59. > :10:03.still help the police. We work regularly with the police, educating
:10:04. > :10:08.them toward the needs are, and also to treat these people as victims. I

:13:30. > :13:31.prices could rise by as much as 3.5% left commuters fuming and some
:13:32. > :13:37.campaigners calling for the railways to be renationalised. There are few
:13:38. > :13:44.things as political as a train ticket. Smiling doesn't always come
:13:45. > :13:49.naturally to commuters but today Bristol's travelling public had good
:13:50. > :13:58.reason to look glum. More fare rises are on the way. Workers wages are
:13:59. > :14:03.struggling to keep pace. I can't afford to keep paying more for a
:14:04. > :14:12.service that come the winter might not even run. It's ridiculous, we
:14:13. > :14:17.paid nearly ?2000 a year to get this pretty shoddy service. It's always
:14:18. > :14:26.late, it's cold, in its boiling, it's pulling on the train. It's not
:14:27. > :14:32.acceptable. ?193 return to London, it's extortionate. Even the guy who
:14:33. > :14:36.sells me the ticket shrugs his shoulders and says, glad I'm not
:14:37. > :14:41.paying it! It's no laughing matter for some transport unions. This

:14:56. > :15:01.1% for the first three years and then I 0% in real terms last year
:15:02. > :15:04.but at a time when you have her family budget squeezed as we come
:15:05. > :15:08.out of the recession, we have to keep this intensity, this focus on
:15:09. > :15:13.helping people whether through tax reductions, freezing fuel duty and
:15:14. > :15:19.council tax or capping rail fares, that is what we are determined to
:15:20. > :15:24.do. Today's headlines assume that regulated fares will increase by
:15:25. > :15:29.3.5% in the New Year, the rate of inflation plus 1% on top. But none
:15:30. > :15:34.of this is set in stone. That 1% could yet disappear. After all,
:15:35. > :15:37.there is a general election round the corner and the cost of living
:15:38. > :15:46.and travelling is set to take centre stage. As if to prove that, the Lib
:15:47. > :15:51.Dems have announced a transport price cut of their own, this one on
:15:52. > :15:58.the Severn Bridge. Today it will cost you 6140 Two Drive across or
:15:59. > :16:05.?19 20 if you have a truck, and every day 80,000 vehicles fork out
:16:06. > :16:09.for it. In two years, the deal with the private company that collects
:16:10. > :16:14.tolls expires, the cost of the bridges will be virtually paid and
:16:15. > :16:17.the ministers will have to decide how much to charge us to go to
:16:18. > :16:22.Wales. If the Lib Dems are in power, they say it will cost nothing,
:16:23. > :16:27.benefiting not just commuters but everyone in Wales and the West
:16:28. > :16:31.Country. It is also a cost to tourism, a lot of people who might
:16:32. > :16:37.think, on a Sunday afternoon, let's go to Berkeley Castle, see the
:16:38. > :16:42.museums in Bristol or the harbour, but they think, it's going to cost
:16:43. > :16:49.me another ?6 40, so they don't do it. Likewise, people in Bristol make
:16:50. > :16:55.the same calculation so it's a major barrier to developing tourism. How
:16:56. > :17:03.much will that pledge cost a Lib Chancellor? ?50 million a year,
:17:04. > :17:07.there's the rub. The knitters can give us the freedom of the open road
:17:08. > :17:11.by axing bridge tolls will stop `` ministers can. Equally they can
:17:12. > :17:16.freeze rail prices but everything has two B pay for somewhere. Today
:17:17. > :17:21.business groups, who welcome cuts to tolls and tickets, said they would
:17:22. > :17:27.look carefully at any pre`election transport treats. If there is a
:17:28. > :17:31.fixed sum of money, it's always robbing Peter to pay Paul, so we
:17:32. > :17:36.would be interested to know if there are reductions in one scheme, would
:17:37. > :17:43.it mean that extra costs are placed elsewhere? Or in such a way would it
:17:44. > :17:50.benefit business? What do we know for sure? Next year train tickets
:17:51. > :17:55.will go up by at least 2.5%. In 2018 the Severn tolls will fall by at
:17:56. > :18:01.least 20% because VAT will come off. Beyond that, it is pure
:18:02. > :18:08.politics and if you look down at either road, you can see the outline

:23:20. > :23:23.to stay and I showed him round to his church, the magnificent stained
:23:24. > :23:27.glass and he fell in love with it. Out of his visit was born the idea
:23:28. > :23:34.of getting number of well`known actors to do a window each. It's
:23:35. > :23:36.fitting that some of the country's best`known voices guide you around

:23:46. > :23:51.the country's only complete set of medieval stained glass within the
:23:52. > :23:56.church. It felt as if, knowing the voice, you knew the person and it
:23:57. > :23:59.sounded friendly and authoritative. When we heard about this system, we
:24:00. > :24:04.thought it was such a good idea, we had to come and try it out. As have

:25:12. > :25:21.weather. Good evening. We have seen a fair
:25:22. > :25:26.few showers through today but they should ease off as we push into the
:25:27. > :25:30.evening. Tomorrow looks better, some sunny spells to be had, a few
:25:31. > :25:36.showers around but they should be fewer in number than today. It will
:25:37. > :25:42.feel cool, but with the winds tending to ease down, it should feel
:25:43. > :25:44.ashamed warmer. If we look at the satellite, you can see the lumpy
:25:45. > :25:51.nature in the cloud seeding down from the North, indicating the
:25:52. > :25:58.instability, allowing the showers to develop. We have these cold winds
:25:59. > :26:03.being driven down from the North, and it's much the same picture as we
:26:04. > :26:09.head into tomorrow although our breezes easing down and we should
:26:10. > :26:11.see fewer showers. By Thursday, lower pressure introducing a
:26:12. > :26:19.westerly wind, bringing more cloud across us and an increased risk of
:26:20. > :26:22.showers. You can see the showers developing across Wales, feeding
:26:23. > :26:30.their way across us, tending to ease down, so it will be a largely dry
:26:31. > :26:37.picture tonight, the breezes easing down as well. It will be quite a
:26:38. > :26:44.chilly one. Out in the countryside, we could see four degrees, the
:26:45. > :26:47.chilliest night in quite a while. A cold start tomorrow but quite a
:26:48. > :26:54.bright one, the showers should be fewer in number than today, some
:26:55. > :27:01.good sunny spells to be had. Temperatures just nudging a bit
:27:02. > :27:07.higher. You will find yourself some shelter from the wind in the
:27:08. > :27:11.sunshine, it should feel decent. Tomorrow brings some sunshine, a few
:27:12. > :27:16.showers but as the wind backs westerly, more cloud is introduced,
:27:17. > :27:22.more showers feed across us, we could do some more persistent rain
:27:23. > :27:28.later in the day. On Friday, we will see a few showers but they should
:27:29. > :27:36.die off and we should increasingly see some sunny spells.
:27:37. > :27:38.Unfortunately, the back of a weekend doesn't stay dry, by Sunday we see
:27:39. > :27:43.the return of wet and windy conditions.
