:01:25. > :01:35.and that she had no idea disabled people were being treated this way.
:01:36. > :01:50.Kathy Baxter He is happiest at home. It is clear she feels safe. It is
:01:51. > :01:56.when she associated a white stick that the abuse starts. He m`y be
:01:57. > :02:01.something simple like a snide remark or a sarcastic comment. She has had
:02:02. > :02:11.her handbag snatched and bedn pushed over in a supermarket. A lady pushed
:02:12. > :02:16.me into a shelf and I feel overall the curtains. I pushed her back and
:02:17. > :02:22.she punched me in the face. She became blind last year after having
:02:23. > :02:29.a stroke. As the affected hdr behaviour towards others? It does
:02:30. > :02:35.make me rather angry and frtstrated. But after a while, I have hdard
:02:36. > :02:48.other people coming out with me and they have said, no that is not the
:02:49. > :02:54.case. She is writing about her loss of sight and with it and loss of
:02:55. > :03:05.independence. If the people who abuse this could lead it, what would
:03:06. > :03:08.they think? It made me cry when I wrote it, so maybe it would make
:03:09. > :03:15.them think twice about the heart they are causing. The policd say
:03:16. > :03:21.they have to deal with about 80 instances like this each ye`r. They
:03:22. > :03:23.say the cases are unreported and urged victims to report any
:03:24. > :03:28.incidents to the police. Joining us now is Scott Wood,
:03:29. > :03:48.from Action for Blind Peopld. Unfortunately, it is rather
:03:49. > :03:56.unreported. The study recently said that disabled people in gendral

:04:42. > :04:55.this, when they happen, we `re there to help them emotionally. Would you
:04:56. > :05:03.encourage people to report ht more? Absolutely. It is very important
:05:04. > :05:09.that people go to the policd. It is the emotional damage, that hs the
:05:10. > :05:13.hardest thing to deal with. Yes going out and about as a blhnd
:05:14. > :05:18.person can be quite dramatic in itself. To be subjected to these
:05:19. > :05:29.terrible things like she has heard, it just makes it so much worse. It
:05:30. > :05:33.of blind people are very isolated in of blind people are very isolated in

:05:40. > :05:42.fined ?180,000 by a governmdnt watchdog, after a computer hard
:05:43. > :05:44.drive containing sensitive and confidential information was
:05:45. > :05:46.lost at a West prison. The hard drive had details
:05:47. > :05:48.of nearly 3,000 prisoners The back`up hardrive was
:05:49. > :05:52.lost here in May last year. It was not encrypted

:05:55. > :05:56.including links to organised crime, visitors to the prison and, most
:05:57. > :05:58.alarmingly, material about victims. The Information Commissioner's
:05:59. > :05:59.Office investigation into the mistake revealed that
:06:00. > :06:02.the prison service did not dven realise that the encryption option
:06:03. > :06:05.needed to be turned on to protect the highly`sensitive data hhdden
:06:06. > :06:07.on the back`up hard drive. And it was not just Erlestoke

:06:56. > :07:01.simply will not be tolerated. The hard drive has still not bedn found.
:07:02. > :07:11.They did institute a search. They could not find and that is part of
:07:12. > :07:17.the problem. Although the Mhnistry of Justice came back and sahd it was
:07:18. > :07:18.in the public domain, they do nicely know that. They do not know where it
:07:19. > :07:20.is. And it was not just Erlestoke

:07:44. > :07:49.studio. The watchdog are very angry about this? In government tdrms
:07:50. > :07:58.they have been told very firmly to get their act together. Previously,
:07:59. > :08:03.details of the President Surrey have been lost. It was the failure to
:08:04. > :08:10.turn the encryption device on, that is the most astonishing thing. They
:08:11. > :08:16.made the point that they lost it, extraordinary to lose this sort of
:08:17. > :08:22.thing. Imagine the informathon on victims of crime that may bd out
:08:23. > :08:29.there. Then, they said, thex could not find it. They are very cross
:08:30. > :08:36.about this. It is very unustal for a government department fining another
:08:37. > :08:45.department. This is unparalleled and not the first time it has h`ppened.
:08:46. > :08:50.All in all, this is a fundalental role between two government
:08:51. > :08:51.agencies. But these details are known to. It is very bad news
:08:52. > :08:57.indeed. Bristol Rovers are taking ldgal
:08:58. > :08:59.action against Sainsbury's over delays to the proposed development
:09:00. > :09:01.of their Memorial Stadium home. The future of the scheme has been
:09:02. > :09:04.thrown into doubt after it was revealed the supermarket ch`in
:09:05. > :09:07.wants to pull out of the de`l. Rovers need to sell their ground
:09:08. > :09:25.to pay for a new stadium. This is the plan, a new stadium

:09:59. > :10:06.Bristol Rovers see they are obliged to submit an appeal and that the

:23:13. > :23:15.It was the content of the show which caused the problem for the people
:23:16. > :23:25.who run the Royal Parks in London ` in short, too religious.
:23:26. > :23:39.This is a first for me. Crawling out of the belly of the wheel. The Bible
:23:40. > :23:43.societies say this is not about ramming religion down the throats of
:23:44. > :23:54.young people, but they do w`nt to emphasise that the story is a
:23:55. > :23:55.biblical one. The Royal Parks EV do not encourage any sort of rdligious
:23:56. > :23:59.displays. But when the Swindon`based Bible
:24:00. > :24:01.Society then decided to stage the show closer to home, North Somerset
:24:02. > :24:20.Council had no problem. Not too religious? No, the children
:24:21. > :24:32.are enjoying a great story. It was fun and I liked it. Is this pushing
:24:33. > :24:38.the Babel to children? No, H do not think they see it like that.
:24:39. > :24:41.Jonah, so the story goes, spent three days inside a whale So, that

:25:47. > :25:55.this evening. We should be hn for a dry night. In for a dry night. Will
:25:56. > :26:04.continue until this system from the West pushes in the afternoon. For
:26:05. > :26:11.the rest of this evening, the showers will fade away. Gendrally, a
:26:12. > :26:22.lot of cloud around. Temper`tures for the most part around nine or 10
:26:23. > :26:29.Celsius. Try in the course of the morning, but as we get later into
:26:30. > :26:35.the afternoon, the first spots of light rain. These will affect the
:26:36. > :26:43.West at first and then gradtally, as the hours go by, it will spread
:26:44. > :26:57.through the region. The rain will not be particularly heavy. On
