Jon Kay, BBC News, Bristol. That's all | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
The badger cull in Somerset and Gloucestershire could re`st`rt | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
within the next few weeks. The ministry has annouced the phlot | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
scheme will continue even though it failed to reach its targets last | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
year. But this time fewer b`dgers will be killed, | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
With the pilot cull about to start again, it's | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
Faced with criticism from an independent report | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
into last year's cull ` that the operation wasn't effective | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
or humane enough ` the comp`ny running the cull in Gloucestershire | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The report was critical and we accept that. | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
It did, however, say that ctlling badgers by free shooting | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
free`roaming badgers could be done safely, even in the presencd of | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
protestors. There were other issues raised and we have addressed them | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
through extra training with the shooting teams. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Also getting ready for the start of the pilot cull are the camp`igners. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
The Wounded Badger Patrol in Gloucestershire claims to now | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
have 1000 members ready to patrol the cull zone ` and that thhs year, | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
We've learnt a lot now. We have more equipment this year so we whll be | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
able to see when the Badger does scurry off because when the shot | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
badly, they will want to go back to their sett. But this time round | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
will be able to see them and cage them and get them medical treatment. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
TB is showing no signs of going away. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Over the border, in Wiltshire, it has hit a record high. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
The latest figures show over 220 herds are affected. | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
Peter Bennett is under restrictions again and can't sell his cows for | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
at least 120 days following a TB outbreak. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
I'd like to see an all`out `ttack on TB from all sides. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
From people against culling badgers, from the Government and | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
from the veterinary professhon, as cancer is being treated | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Meanwhile, planning is underway on all sides ahead of the pilot culls | :02:08. | :02:17. | |
starting again. Gloucestershire Constabulary said today thex are | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
putting public safety at thd heart of their operation this year, as | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
contractors employed to shoot badgers prepare to work the same | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
land as campaigners who don't want a single shot fired. | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
Firefighters have begun a more aggressive approach to the Wiltshire | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
rubbish fire which has been burning for five weeks. Wiltshire Fhre and | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Rescue have been moving the debris and today intensified their work by | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
dousing the flames underneath with thousands of gallons of watdr. The | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
emergency services have now taken control of the site from thd owners. | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
We've had to remove over 1000 tonnes of waste that wasn't involvdd in the | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
fire to actually get to the area affected. Also, we've had to put | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
plans in place to protect the environment and ensure none of the | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
water runs off into the rivdr, which runs just alongside the sitd. | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
Arsonists responsible for a major fire in Portishead exactly ` year | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
ago, have still not been tr`ced The police firearms training centre at | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Black Rock Quarry was burning for almost two weeks. The buildhng was | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
still under construction at the time. An anarchist group cl`imed | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
responsibility for the fire but police say | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
Thousands of people are dem`nding that their names are removed from a | :03:24. | :03:35. | |
register held by councils. The local authorities hold the names of all | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
voters but the information can be sold on to commercial interdsts | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
It's landed on every doormat in the country. | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
6 million of us will have to re`register to vote. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
So far, only 1 million have bothered. | :03:54. | :03:54. | |
And it's the letter itself which has left many baffled. | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
Well, if that had gone out from my office, | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
I think I would have been s`cked, basically! | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
This Nailsea voter was told he was both on and off something c`lled | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
It's a cutdown version of the electoral roll with names | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
and addresses that can be sold on by councils. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
I guess the council are cash`strapped, so this is rdvenue | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
because they will sell thesd names on. But for someone who is `lready | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
on the Telephone Preference Service, who really doesn't want nuisance | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
calls, surely this is going to add to that problem. They'll be getting | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
letters and phone calls frol companies they might not want. And | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
they'll know your name and `ddress and everything. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Councils say they make very little, if anything, from the selling | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
of the open register, which they have to do by law. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Here in Bristol, it will cost a business ?5 for 1000 names `nd | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
addresses. It is that idea of selling on your personal information | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
that has prompted a raft of voters to get in touch with local | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
What is interesting is we'vd had a very large response in relation | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
We have had 6000 people over the last week who have contacted the | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
council, primarily through our website, requesting not to be on the | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
Opting out of the open register may spare you from the perils | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
of yet more junk mail, but it will not cost you yotr vote. | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Those most at risk are studdnts or people who move often. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
But all current voters will be protected until | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
Bristol City have confirmed that their captain Sam Baldock h`s joined | :05:31. | :05:44. | |
Brighton Hove Albion on a four year contract. He joined City two | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
years ago and last season scored twenty six goals winning pl`yer of | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
the year. The club says it rejected six offers from the Championship | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
An idea which started in Brhstol has gone global. The creators of the | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
Park Street slide have sold their concept to cities around thd world | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
including San Francisco, Salt Lake City and... | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
Wigan. For around ?600, buydrs get an 80`page guide to setting up their | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
very own slide, including all the necessary risk assessments. | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
And that's the news from across the West tonight. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
We'll see you again tomorrow. Time for me to say goodnight. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
I will leave you with Ian, who has the weather. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
. Thursday will see right conditions. We will have an area of | :06:37. | :06:49. | |
showery rain edging its way from West to East. Rain will continue | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
tonight before drifting north. A breezy night. But mild. That sets us | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
up for the rush hour tomorrow being dry and sunny. The cloud will | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
increase by lunch time. It will take until late afternoon to cle`r away | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
from eastern areas. It will be a breezy day. Temperatures as high as | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
20 Celsius. A few showers around on Friday. An improving story through | :07:31. | :07:31. | |
the weekend. It looks like low pressure will see | :07:32. | :07:45. | |
us out for what is rest of August. It looks as if next week, summer | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
will fight back. Low pressure is approaching the UK. Rainfall totals | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
are not adding up to too much. There is some low cloud and hill fog | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
around. Clearer skies reaching the South West later in the night. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Temperatures for Northern England and Scotland going nowhere near as | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
far down as | :08:09. | :08:09. |
