:01:34. > :01:40.walking her landlady's two dogs when one slipped under a gate
:01:41. > :01:44.at this level crossing near Formby. She and the dog died

:03:08. > :03:18.national news, the UK is on a higher security level tonight. It's not in
:03:19. > :03:22.response to any specific threat but is due to current events in Syria
:03:23. > :03:26.and Iraq. The West is already about to be under tighter securitx
:03:27. > :03:29.measures ahead of next week's gathering of world leaders `t the
:03:30. > :03:32.NATO summit. That's happening in Wales ` but there are implications
:03:33. > :03:39.for us here too. Despite the NATO summit happening in
:03:40. > :03:45.Wales there are a raft of plans being put in place in the Wdst to
:03:46. > :03:48.protect the delegates who whll be staying and travelling here. We
:03:49. > :03:51.understand that hotels in places like Bath, Bristol and here in
:03:52. > :03:54.Gloucestershire will be hosting delegates and that many will be
:03:55. > :03:58.arriving into Bristol Airport with more high profile politicians
:03:59. > :04:01.potentially coming into milhtary air bases. It means not only more
:04:02. > :04:05.security issues for police forces locally, but also that the West
:04:06. > :04:14.Country will also be sending officers to Wales to help whth the
:04:15. > :04:32.security effort. The increase in the PIV to respond to any crisis that
:04:33. > :04:43.might happen. `` they are there to respond. And they are fair to ensure
:04:44. > :04:59.that every day lives continte as far as possible. The increase in the
:05:00. > :05:04.terrorism threat level. the West during the summit, and
:05:05. > :05:07.intelligence staff in that famous doughnut building behind me, GCHQ in
:05:08. > :05:10.Cheltenham, would have playdd a key role in the change of threat level.
:05:11. > :05:13.It's set by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre in London btt in
:05:14. > :05:15.conjunction with several kex agencies including intelligdnce and
:05:16. > :05:18.assessment from GCHQ. This `ll comes on a day when the agency in
:05:19. > :05:21.Cheltenham faced a certain `mount of disruption due to a protest that
:05:22. > :05:24.started there by the online campaign group Anonymous. It's a four day
:05:25. > :05:27.protest against the use of lass surveillance and although it was a
:05:28. > :05:30.rather low key start today with only about a dozen protestors outside the
:05:31. > :05:33.gates, police presence was high a main car park was closed and many
:05:34. > :05:36.staff were bussed in through the gates with some, I understand,
:05:37. > :05:39.working from home. But it's been a peaceful protest and one of the
:05:40. > :05:42.organisers told me that thex wanted to raise awareness of privacy
:05:43. > :05:47.concerns over allegations that GCHQ has access to everyone's internet
:05:48. > :06:02.data. We understand the rule that GCHQ has
:06:03. > :06:03.two play but we do not understand why there are continuing me`sures
:06:04. > :06:12.being taken against the public. Cheltenham today, Martin Horwood,
:06:13. > :06:16.and he welcomed the protest saying it's good for democracy and it's
:06:17. > :06:18.important that Government agencies are properly scrutinised, btt he
:06:19. > :06:29.said that nothing he's heard so far shows that what GCHQ does is
:06:30. > :06:44.illegal. Everything I have heard suggests to
:06:45. > :06:45.me that the system is working and that GCHQ bends over backwards to
:06:46. > :06:50.stay within the law. statement today saying that they
:06:51. > :06:54.respect the right to legal protest and that they're carrying on as
:06:55. > :06:57.normal with "the important work Parliament has charged us to do to
:06:58. > :07:01.protect national security. We are proud of what we do and protd of the
:07:02. > :07:06.people who work here." And ht is a crucial time for staff therd with
:07:07. > :07:09.the terrorism threat being raised to severe ` again a reminder that means
:07:10. > :07:15.an attack is "highly likely" but there's no intelligence yet to
:07:16. > :07:17.suggest an attack is imminent. But it will obviously be a high focus
:07:18. > :07:31.and priority within GCHQ tonight. Coming up a bit later
:07:32. > :07:34.in the programme, Ian will be here We meet the scouts putting
:07:35. > :07:39.their best foot forward, to re`enact the mobilisation
:07:40. > :07:46.of troops 100 years ago. And the Somerset soldier who died
:07:47. > :07:49.on a World War One battlefidld. The family he never knew he had
:07:50. > :07:56.gives his medals to the county. The Badger Trust says it's
:07:57. > :07:58.considering an appeal after the High Court rejected its latdst
:07:59. > :08:01.legal challenge to the culls They're both due to get
:08:02. > :08:07.underway imminently. The trust had argued there should be
:08:08. > :08:11.independent monitoring of the killings ` something which happened
:08:12. > :08:14.during the pilot culls last year. As campaigners against the cull
:08:15. > :08:21.showed their frustration outside the High Court, inside lawyers for the
:08:22. > :08:27.Badger Trust had argued that Defra had not simply "moved the goalposts"
:08:28. > :08:30.for the second season of culls ` It said the "controlled shooting" in
:08:31. > :08:35.Gloucestershire and Somerset should only take place with independent
:08:36. > :08:40.observers overseeing it. The new Environment minister
:08:41. > :08:44.Liz Truss had already defended the Government's position
:08:45. > :08:59.in the Commons. We are asking the expert body to
:09:00. > :09:05.assess the way that the cals are going and to look at what wd can do
:09:06. > :09:07.in the future. We must use dvery tool in our tool box to address this
:09:08. > :09:11.threat. 6,000 cattle were slaughterdd
:09:12. > :09:13.in England last year becausd Many farmers and the Governlent
:09:14. > :09:17.claim culling is the only effective But last year's independent panel
:09:18. > :09:22.found the method of killing inhumane ` and the cull
:09:23. > :09:27.fell well short of set targdts. This year marksmen have been told
:09:28. > :09:30.they need to kill at least 615 badgers
:09:31. > :09:32.in Gloucestershire this auttmn, The Badger Trust was ordered to pay
:09:33. > :09:39.?10,000 towards Defra's leg`l costs. It can still ask
:09:40. > :09:46.the Appeal Court to hear thd case. A man
:09:47. > :09:48.from Swindon has been chargdd with causing death by dangerous driving
:09:49. > :09:50.and driving whilst disqualified Two cars collided on one
:09:51. > :09:53.of the town's busiest roads, near the entrance to the Orbital
:09:54. > :09:56.shopping centre, in May. A 33`year`old man died
:09:57. > :09:59.from his injuries. One man has been released whthout
:10:00. > :10:06.charge and the other, 23`year`old Arnie Rogers from
:10:07. > :10:12.Swindon is due in court next month. A man who went on the run
:10:13. > :10:15.in Wiltshire after a suspected arson spree and then stole
:10:16. > :10:18.a boat to make his getaway, found himself confronted by a flight of
:10:19. > :10:22.locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal. The man jumped on the boat
:10:23. > :10:25.after allegedly setting fird to some rubbish, a shed
:10:26. > :10:29.and a petrol mower in Devizds. But after struggling with four
:10:30. > :10:42.of the 29 locks at Caen Hill he apparently set fire
:10:43. > :10:45.to the boat and ran off. A 27 year old man has been
:10:46. > :10:49.arrested and released on bahl. Now this time last night we were
:10:50. > :10:51.celebrating the sporting achievements of our
:10:52. > :10:53.Commonwealth medallists and rugby World Cup winners as they p`raded
:10:54. > :10:56.through the streets of Bristol on an open top bus ` all ending with
:10:57. > :10:59.a big celebration at City H`ll. Our sports editor, Alistair Durden
:11:00. > :11:02.was there and he's with us now. Any chance of more sporting
:11:03. > :11:20.success this weekend, Ali? It is ten years since
:11:21. > :11:31.Gloucestershire won a trophx but they are in the quarterfinals of the
:11:32. > :11:35.cricket one`day cup. David Payne took four wickets for
:11:36. > :11:54.Gloucestershire. They have started the reply, reaching 63`1 after 2
:11:55. > :12:11.overs. Somerset's director of cricket will be leaving at the end
:12:12. > :12:22.of the season. There are gold medal hopes in the rowing Championships.
:12:23. > :12:36.Heather Stanning could win her first alongside Helen Glover. For this
:12:37. > :12:52.year the big picture is Amsterdam. The former Bristol City and Yeovil
:12:53. > :12:55.defender Jamie McAllister h`s been signed to play in
:12:56. > :12:58.the brand new Indian Super League. The inaugural season will rtn
:12:59. > :13:00.from October until December, and organisers hope it'll kick`start the
:13:01. > :13:02.country's interest in footb`ll and McAllister, who's now 36, whll be
:13:03. > :13:06.a player`coach for Kerala Blasters, who are managed by one of hhs
:13:07. > :13:09.former team`mates at Ashton Gate . Bristol has been Jamie McAllister's
:13:10. > :13:12.home for almost a decade. He played nearly 300 games for City
:13:13. > :13:16.and Yeovil Town. But without a club this sumler,
:13:17. > :13:19.he was close to returning to Until he got a call
:13:20. > :13:37.from former team`mate David James I thought he was joking at first. I
:13:38. > :13:48.saw it was all true. It is ` good opportunity. I am hearing that there
:13:49. > :13:53.will be fools to the is. Pars I am hearing that the stadiums whll be
:13:54. > :13:59.fully attended. He'll be away for four months `
:14:00. > :14:02.and it means leaving wife Ashley She sees the opportunity as a good
:14:03. > :14:25.thing. And although he'll be 5000 liles
:14:26. > :14:28.from home, he'll still be kdeping an eye on how his former cltbs do
:14:29. > :14:54.back in England. City will be strong. Yeovil have
:14:55. > :14:58.made a lot of signings. In time the gaffer will work his magic.
:14:59. > :15:01.So after an 18 year career hn England and Scotland, time for a new
:15:02. > :15:38.Cheltenham could include thd new on loan striker.
:15:39. > :15:41.The RSPCA in Bristol is calling for a ban
:15:42. > :15:46.It says there's been an alarming increase
:15:47. > :15:49.in the amount of calls it rdceives to its cruelty and advice hotline.
:15:50. > :15:52.Graham Satchell sent us this report from a centre more used to
:15:53. > :16:18.In amongst the barking dogs, the cutest of cats, rabbits and snakes,
:16:19. > :16:27.there is a new arrival. This is a marmoset. His owners had kept him in
:16:28. > :16:37.a cage. He is now being looked after by one of the staff here. Hd has
:16:38. > :16:48.been here for two weeks. A couple had him as a pet. They were
:16:49. > :16:59.struggling to cope with thel. That is why they had to contact the RSPCA
:17:00. > :17:05.to help them. This story is not unique. The RSPCA has seen ` 73
:17:06. > :17:12.rise in calls to its helpline from people having problem looking after
:17:13. > :17:21.monkeys that they have as pdts. The trade is and regulated. They are
:17:22. > :17:27.sold on the intranet. The RSPCA estimates there are
:17:28. > :17:37.between 3000 and 9000 primates being kept as pets in this countrx. The
:17:38. > :17:46.wildness never changes. Thex are a social animal. They spend the day
:17:47. > :17:56.socialising, foraging for food. Nor average household could provide that
:17:57. > :18:06.environment. Primate experts continue to call for
:18:07. > :18:13.a ban. They see it is inhum`ne to keep these creatures in a c`ge in a
:18:14. > :18:20.domestic setting. The RSPCA is hoping to find a
:18:21. > :18:23.sanctuary for this marmoset. For the time being he remains at thd dogs
:18:24. > :18:29.and Cats home. And the Avon Valley Wildlifd Park
:18:30. > :18:32.near Keynsham has now offerdd to home Mickey the Marmoset Monkey
:18:33. > :18:38.and pair him up with a mate. 101 veterans from across thd South
:18:39. > :18:41.West have been receiving medals The honour ` which is called the
:18:42. > :18:45.Ushakov medal ` was given for the work that the men did whilst serving
:18:46. > :18:49.in the Arctic during World War Two. They manned vessels which c`rried
:18:50. > :18:51.cargo including tanks, fighter planes and food for those fhghting
:18:52. > :18:59.against Germany in the Sovidt Union. And a Somerset museum has bden given
:19:00. > :19:02.three World War One medals ` 100 years to the day
:19:03. > :19:05.after the soldier who earned them When Private William Newman went to

:19:10. > :19:15.he was to have a family. Now around 30
:19:16. > :19:17.of his descendants have gathered for a ceremony to present
:19:18. > :19:20.his medals for public displ`y. These are his great great great
:19:21. > :19:40.grandchildren. Not just a family gathering `
:19:41. > :19:43.a moment in history. 30 of the family Private William

:19:47. > :19:49.as one of his youngest descdndants handed over his war medals ` exactly
:19:50. > :20:09.100 years to the day that hd died. Thank you for accepting thel. My
:20:10. > :20:14.grandfather, even though he died, gave life to 34 of us.
:20:15. > :20:16.William Newman's war was only to last four days.

:20:37. > :20:40.It is nice that people can see what they mean to us and to the

:20:43. > :21:05.month new offers of exghibits have We have had letters donated recently

:21:10. > :21:12.some remarkable things to the collection.
:21:13. > :21:15.But few exhibits can have stch a remarkable family story attached
:21:16. > :21:25.A legacy William Newman would have known nothing of.

:21:40. > :21:45.Well we're joined by three of the Scouts and their leader now,
:21:46. > :22:11.I got back at one o'clock this morning. Why did you decide to do
:22:12. > :22:17.this trip? In 2012 we went to France for Remembrance Day. We thotght
:22:18. > :22:41.about what we could do in two years time. We started talking to its
:22:42. > :22:54.gates in France, Germany and Belgium. `` to Scouts in Fr`nce
:22:55. > :23:00.Germany and Belgium. How much walking was involved? There was a
:23:01. > :23:10.lot of walking, that it did not matter very much. Did you fdel how
:23:11. > :23:21.those soldiers might have fdlt? I got a bit of a sense of that. But we
:23:22. > :23:26.were not under all the stress. Do you think going out there m`kes you
:23:27. > :23:33.understand the enormity of the First World War? We what that way on
:23:34. > :23:43.purpose because that is the way that the regiment walked during the
:23:44. > :24:16.battle. But we rested more than the dead. Pars but we rested more than
:24:17. > :24:22.the did. Has it made you understand lore
:24:23. > :24:28.about the sacrifice? How do you feel about your relatives and thd other
:24:29. > :24:37.people that did not come back? We went to a lot of graveyards when we
:24:38. > :24:46.were there. On the last day I was looking at all the graves. H did not
:24:47. > :24:58.realise you could fill walls with the names. It was just a fr`ction of
:24:59. > :25:09.all the people that they're worth. `` all the people that therd where.
:25:10. > :25:30.Here is the weather. A pretty decent weekend. Saturday will be a day of
