Good afternoon from Points West tonight on BBC1 at 10.30.

Good afternoon from Points West There's been serious disorddr

:00:17.:00:18.

in Bristol overnight. Five men are being treated

:00:19.:00:23.

for stab injuries after a fhght broke out in a pub, and there have

:00:24.:00:26.

also been several arrests. Scott Ellis reports.

:00:27.:00:31.

Police were called to Stapldton Road at 6am this morning with reports of

:00:32.:00:34.

trouble inside the Black Sw`n pub and club, a dispute which spilled

:00:35.:00:42.

out onto the streets. This morning we have seen crime

:00:43.:00:44.

scene investigators are makhng a thorough search of the year they are

:00:45.:00:47.

outside the Black Swan and `long several residential streets nearby.

:00:48.:00:52.

Police will also be viewing CCTV footage of the nearby streets.

:00:53.:00:55.

The police say five men on hn their 20s and 30s are being treated

:00:56.:01:03.

in hospital for stabbing injuries. These are said to be not

:01:04.:01:06.

life`threatening but they s`id five men are also under arrest

:01:07.:01:14.

and will be questioned. Police are describing this

:01:15.:01:18.

as an isolated incident. I would always prefer a dispute

:01:19.:01:21.

to be settled with conversation The people involved have chosen to

:01:22.:01:23.

use knives, which is worrying in itself.

:01:24.:01:39.

But knowing that five men h`ve been stabbed and the road cordondd

:01:40.:01:45.

off worries those living here. Only last month there were six

:01:46.:01:48.

separate stabbings in the c`rnival in neighbouring St Paul's.

:01:49.:01:52.

Engineering works to double the railway line between Swhndon

:01:53.:01:55.

and Kemble have been offici`lly completed this weekend.

:01:56.:01:57.

It's cost ?45 million and mdant months of disruption for colmuters,

:01:58.:02:00.

but extra trains won't run for at least another three years.

:02:01.:02:26.

It is a great shame we will not have more trains and I will speak to the

:02:27.:02:33.

government to try to get thdm before them. We have the capacity `nd just

:02:34.:02:35.

need the vehicles. Female rugby players from the West

:02:36.:02:42.

Country are celebrating aftdr it was announced the Sevens squad will be

:02:43.:02:44.

turning professional, meaning they'll be paid for the first time.

:02:45.:02:47.

Six players from here made the squad which lifted the World Cup

:02:48.:02:49.

in Paris last Sunday. All 20 contracted players whll train

:02:50.:02:52.

full`time at Twickenham from September.

:02:53.:02:54.

The first big test for them will come at the Rio Olympics in 201 .

:02:55.:02:56.

Today's west`country derby between Forest Green and Brhstol

:02:57.:02:59.

Rovers finished as a 1`1 dr`w. It was a record league crowd

:03:00.:03:01.

at the New Lawn, with away fans making up half of

:03:02.:03:04.

the attendance of just under 3, 00. Andy Monkhouse scored first

:03:05.:03:07.

for Bristol Rovers, and Jon Parkin equalised for Forest Green.

:03:08.:03:15.

We are confident and starting to settle down. I would have bden happy

:03:16.:03:24.

with one point before the g`me, but we expected three 75 minutes in but

:03:25.:03:32.

definitely an improvement. Both sets of fans were very good and we all

:03:33.:03:36.

sang our hearts out and it was a very entertaining game which is all

:03:37.:03:42.

I can say. Not a bad game at all and we got a point at the end of the day

:03:43.:03:44.

so I am happy. There's been huge disappointment for

:03:45.:03:50.

Gloucestershire cricket club today as the one day international between

:03:51.:03:52.

England and India was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

:03:53.:03:55.

Fans were upbeat, but the club says it's lost about ?40,000.

:03:56.:03:57.

15,000 people had bought tickets although they'll all be reftnded.

:03:58.:04:07.

We have had two months of good weather and typical bank holiday

:04:08.:04:16.

Monday. Rained off. You could not plan six we never expected ht to be

:04:17.:04:21.

called off. We were expecting at least 20 overs, so bad luck. We were

:04:22.:04:30.

all excited and the England team and coach and Indian team have been very

:04:31.:04:32.

complimentary over the last few days.

:04:33.:04:34.

British cycling has made st`rs out of Hoy, Wiggins and Pendleton, but

:04:35.:04:39.

away from the track and road racing, two west country women have been

:04:40.:04:42.

taking almost all the titles on offer in Fourcross mountain biking.

:04:43.:04:45.

It's not funded or promoted like the Olympic events, but it is one of

:04:46.:04:47.

cycling's most exciting disciplines. Here's Jules Hyam.

:04:48.:04:54.

MUSIC: "Galaxy Bounce" by Chemical Brothers.

:04:55.:04:56.

It's mountain bike racing, but Four Cross has jumps.

:04:57.:04:59.

You need skill and nerve, like Bristol's Liz Fowler.

:05:00.:05:02.

This is her in front winning the National Championship.

:05:03.:05:09.

I had a go at my first race a couple of years ago and absolutely fell in

:05:10.:05:18.

love with the speed and exchtement, adrenaline and the friendliness and

:05:19.:05:23.

atmosphere. It is good to w`tch because you have a clear winner

:05:24.:05:27.

Liz won this year's Nationals, but the last four have been won another

:05:28.:05:32.

west country rider, Katy Curd. She's now switched to downhhll

:05:33.:05:34.

racing against the clock, btt not before she pulled off this love to

:05:35.:05:36.

take the Four Cross World thtle It is a big goal of mine thhs year,

:05:37.:05:52.

my last race, and I was going to call it but luckily they made it and

:05:53.:05:55.

eventually won the title. Katy's hoping to win more thtles

:05:56.:06:00.

in her new discipline, leavhng Liz to win more at Four Cross.

:06:01.:06:05.

Council workmen have made a very public spelling mistake aftdr

:06:06.:06:09.

getting a three`letter word wrong. They painted the letter P instead of

:06:10.:06:13.

an S as part of work to mark out new bus stops on Old Market, spdlling

:06:14.:06:24.

out the words Bup Stop instdad. Being a Bank Holiday,

Bristol City Council have bden unavailable for comment.

:06:27.:06:28.

Well, as you saw from the pictures at the

:06:29.:06:31.

county ground earlier, the weather's not been great today, but to take

:06:32.:06:34.

look at the prospects for the next 24 hours, here's Alexis Gredn.

:06:35.:06:41.

Is a soggy end to the bank holiday and the rain will stay with us

:06:42.:06:47.

:06:48.:06:53.

mild temperatures, loads of 14 Celsius. The rain will be whth us
