have told Points West of their devestation after their 22 | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
year old daughter died after being Yasmin Jones had been trying to | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
retrieve a dog she was walkhng after it slipped under a gate and | :01:16. | :01:24. | |
got onto the railtracks by listake. Yasmin Jones grew up in Glastobury ` | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
but had moved to Merseyside On Wednesday afternoon she was out | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
walking her landlady's two dogs when one slipped under a gate | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
at this level crossing near Formby. She and the dog died | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
after being struck by a trahn. Our family is totally devastated | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
by the loss of Yasmin, our beautiful and talented | :01:48. | :02:01. | |
daughter, sister and grandd`ughter. No words can describe the p`in | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
and loss we feel We are comforted by the knowledge | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
that her energy and lust for life She was a pupil at the school. She | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
moved on to this university. In Glastonbury today we met | :02:11. | :02:29. | |
friends of Yasmin in tears. She was very bright. She always had | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
a smile on her face. The crossing where Yasmin dhed is | :02:32. | :02:48. | |
on a busy rail line to Liverpool. Network Rail says it was dud to be | :02:49. | :02:52. | |

trains appear from behind a bend. An inquest into the death of | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
Yasmin Jones is due to open Now as you'll have seen in the | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
national news, the UK is on a higher security level tonight. It's not in | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
response to any specific threat but is due to current events in Syria | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
and Iraq. The West is already about to be under tighter securitx | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
measures ahead of next week's gathering of world leaders `t the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
NATO summit. That's happening in Wales ` but there are implications | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
for us here too. Despite the NATO summit happening in | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
Wales there are a raft of plans being put in place in the Wdst to | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
protect the delegates who whll be staying and travelling here. We | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
understand that hotels in places like Bath, Bristol and here in | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Gloucestershire will be hosting delegates and that many will be | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
arriving into Bristol Airport with more high profile politicians | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
potentially coming into milhtary air bases. It means not only more | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
security issues for police forces locally, but also that the West | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Country will also be sending officers to Wales to help whth the | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
security effort. The increase in the PIV to respond to any crisis that | :04:15. | :04:32. | |
might happen. `` they are there to respond. And they are fair to ensure | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
that every day lives continte as far as possible. The increase in the | :04:44. | :04:59. | |
terrorism threat level. the West during the summit, and | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
intelligence staff in that famous doughnut building behind me, GCHQ in | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Cheltenham, would have playdd a key role in the change of threat level. | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
It's set by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre in London btt in | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
conjunction with several kex agencies including intelligdnce and | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
assessment from GCHQ. This `ll comes on a day when the agency in | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Cheltenham faced a certain `mount of disruption due to a protest that | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
started there by the online campaign group Anonymous. It's a four day | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
protest against the use of lass surveillance and although it was a | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
rather low key start today with only about a dozen protestors outside the | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
gates, police presence was high a main car park was closed and many | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
staff were bussed in through the gates with some, I understand, | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
working from home. But it's been a peaceful protest and one of the | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
organisers told me that thex wanted to raise awareness of privacy | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
concerns over allegations that GCHQ has access to everyone's internet | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
data. We understand the rule that GCHQ has | :05:48. | :06:02. | |
two play but we do not understand why there are continuing me`sures | :06:03. | :06:03. | |
being taken against the public. Cheltenham today, Martin Horwood, | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
and he welcomed the protest saying it's good for democracy and it's | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
important that Government agencies are properly scrutinised, btt he | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
said that nothing he's heard so far shows that what GCHQ does is | :06:19. | :06:29. | |
illegal. Everything I have heard suggests to | :06:30. | :06:44. | |
me that the system is working and that GCHQ bends over backwards to | :06:45. | :06:45. | |
stay within the law. statement today saying that they | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
respect the right to legal protest and that they're carrying on as | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
normal with "the important work Parliament has charged us to do to | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
protect national security. We are proud of what we do and protd of the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
people who work here." And ht is a crucial time for staff therd with | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
the terrorism threat being raised to severe ` again a reminder that means | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
an attack is "highly likely" but there's no intelligence yet to | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
suggest an attack is imminent. But it will obviously be a high focus | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
and priority within GCHQ tonight. Coming up a bit later | :07:18. | :07:31. | |
in the programme, Ian will be here We meet the scouts putting | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
their best foot forward, to re`enact the mobilisation | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
of troops 100 years ago. And the Somerset soldier who died | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
on a World War One battlefidld. The family he never knew he had | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
gives his medals to the county. The Badger Trust says it's | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
considering an appeal after the High Court rejected its latdst | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
legal challenge to the culls They're both due to get | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
underway imminently. The trust had argued there should be | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
independent monitoring of the killings ` something which happened | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
during the pilot culls last year. As campaigners against the cull | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
showed their frustration outside the High Court, inside lawyers for the | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
Badger Trust had argued that Defra had not simply "moved the goalposts" | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
for the second season of culls ` It said the "controlled shooting" in | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Gloucestershire and Somerset should only take place with independent | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
observers overseeing it. The new Environment minister | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Liz Truss had already defended the Government's position | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
in the Commons. We are asking the expert body to | :08:45. | :08:59. | |
assess the way that the cals are going and to look at what wd can do | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
in the future. We must use dvery tool in our tool box to address this | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
threat. 6,000 cattle were slaughterdd | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
in England last year becausd Many farmers and the Governlent | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
claim culling is the only effective But last year's independent panel | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
found the method of killing inhumane ` and the cull | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
fell well short of set targdts. This year marksmen have been told | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
they need to kill at least 615 badgers | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
in Gloucestershire this auttmn, The Badger Trust was ordered to pay | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
?10,000 towards Defra's leg`l costs. It can still ask | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
the Appeal Court to hear thd case. A man | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
from Swindon has been chargdd with causing death by dangerous driving | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
and driving whilst disqualified Two cars collided on one | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
of the town's busiest roads, near the entrance to the Orbital | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
shopping centre, in May. A 33`year`old man died | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
from his injuries. One man has been released whthout | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
charge and the other, 23`year`old Arnie Rogers from | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
Swindon is due in court next month. A man who went on the run | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
in Wiltshire after a suspected arson spree and then stole | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
a boat to make his getaway, found himself confronted by a flight of | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal. The man jumped on the boat | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
after allegedly setting fird to some rubbish, a shed | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
and a petrol mower in Devizds. But after struggling with four | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
of the 29 locks at Caen Hill he apparently set fire | :10:30. | :10:42. | |
to the boat and ran off. A 27 year old man has been | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
arrested and released on bahl. Now this time last night we were | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
celebrating the sporting achievements of our | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
Commonwealth medallists and rugby World Cup winners as they p`raded | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
through the streets of Bristol on an open top bus ` all ending with | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
a big celebration at City H`ll. Our sports editor, Alistair Durden | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
was there and he's with us now. Any chance of more sporting | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
success this weekend, Ali? It is ten years since | :11:03. | :11:20. | |
Gloucestershire won a trophx but they are in the quarterfinals of the | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
cricket one`day cup. David Payne took four wickets for | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Gloucestershire. They have started the reply, reaching 63`1 after 2 | :11:36. | :11:54. | |
overs. Somerset's director of cricket will be leaving at the end | :11:55. | :12:11. | |
of the season. There are gold medal hopes in the rowing Championships. | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
Heather Stanning could win her first alongside Helen Glover. For this | :12:23. | :12:36. | |
year the big picture is Amsterdam. The former Bristol City and Yeovil | :12:37. | :12:52. | |
defender Jamie McAllister h`s been signed to play in | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
the brand new Indian Super League. The inaugural season will rtn | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
from October until December, and organisers hope it'll kick`start the | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
country's interest in footb`ll and McAllister, who's now 36, whll be | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
a player`coach for Kerala Blasters, who are managed by one of hhs | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
former team`mates at Ashton Gate . Bristol has been Jamie McAllister's | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
home for almost a decade. He played nearly 300 games for City | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
and Yeovil Town. But without a club this sumler, | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
he was close to returning to Until he got a call | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
from former team`mate David James I thought he was joking at first. I | :13:20. | :13:37. | |
saw it was all true. It is ` good opportunity. I am hearing that there | :13:38. | :13:48. | |
will be fools to the is. Pars I am hearing that the stadiums whll be | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
fully attended. He'll be away for four months ` | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
and it means leaving wife Ashley She sees the opportunity as a good | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
thing. And although he'll be 5000 liles | :14:03. | :14:25. | |
from home, he'll still be kdeping an eye on how his former cltbs do | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
back in England. City will be strong. Yeovil have | :14:29. | :14:54. | |
made a lot of signings. In time the gaffer will work his magic. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
So after an 18 year career hn England and Scotland, time for a new | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
Cheltenham could include thd new on loan striker. | :15:02. | :15:38. | |
The RSPCA in Bristol is calling for a ban | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
It says there's been an alarming increase | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
in the amount of calls it rdceives to its cruelty and advice hotline. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
Graham Satchell sent us this report from a centre more used to | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
In amongst the barking dogs, the cutest of cats, rabbits and snakes, | :15:53. | :16:18. | |
there is a new arrival. This is a marmoset. His owners had kept him in | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
a cage. He is now being looked after by one of the staff here. Hd has | :16:28. | :16:37. | |
been here for two weeks. A couple had him as a pet. They were | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
struggling to cope with thel. That is why they had to contact the RSPCA | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
to help them. This story is not unique. The RSPCA has seen ` 73 | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
rise in calls to its helpline from people having problem looking after | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
monkeys that they have as pdts. The trade is and regulated. They are | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
sold on the intranet. The RSPCA estimates there are | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
between 3000 and 9000 primates being kept as pets in this countrx. The | :17:28. | :17:37. | |
wildness never changes. Thex are a social animal. They spend the day | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
socialising, foraging for food. Nor average household could provide that | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
environment. Primate experts continue to call for | :17:57. | :18:06. | |
a ban. They see it is inhum`ne to keep these creatures in a c`ge in a | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
domestic setting. The RSPCA is hoping to find a | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
sanctuary for this marmoset. For the time being he remains at thd dogs | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
and Cats home. And the Avon Valley Wildlifd Park | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
near Keynsham has now offerdd to home Mickey the Marmoset Monkey | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
and pair him up with a mate. 101 veterans from across thd South | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
West have been receiving medals The honour ` which is called the | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
Ushakov medal ` was given for the work that the men did whilst serving | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
in the Arctic during World War Two. They manned vessels which c`rried | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
cargo including tanks, fighter planes and food for those fhghting | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
against Germany in the Sovidt Union. And a Somerset museum has bden given | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
three World War One medals ` 100 years to the day | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
after the soldier who earned them When Private William Newman went to | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
war he had no idea So he died never knowing | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
he was to have a family. Now around 30 | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
of his descendants have gathered for a ceremony to present | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
his medals for public displ`y. These are his great great great | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
grandchildren. Not just a family gathering ` | :19:21. | :19:40. | |
a moment in history. 30 of the family Private William | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
Newman never knew he was to have were at the Museum of Somerset | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
as one of his youngest descdndants handed over his war medals ` exactly | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
100 years to the day that hd died. Thank you for accepting thel. My | :19:50. | :20:09. | |
grandfather, even though he died, gave life to 34 of us. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
William Newman's war was only to last four days. | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
The private with Somerset Light Infantry died | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
in the Battle of Le Cateau ` one of more than 7,800 British Servicemen | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
Now his medals will form part of a special World War One | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
exhibition just opened at the Museum of Somerset. | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
It is nice that people can see what they mean to us and to the | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
community. Since this display opened l`st | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
month new offers of exghibits have We have had letters donated recently | :20:43. | :21:05. | |
describing the conditions. Ht is fantastic that people have donated | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
some remarkable things to the collection. | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
But few exhibits can have stch a remarkable family story attached | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
A legacy William Newman would have known nothing of. | :21:16. | :21:25. | |
A Scout group from the West is back in the UK `fter | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
retracing the steps of soldhers to Belgium exactly 100 years ago. | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
The 10th Chippenham Scout Group followed the movements | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
of the Wiltshire Regiment to Mons, meeting up with scouts | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
Well we're joined by three of the Scouts and their leader now, | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
I got back at one o'clock this morning. Why did you decide to do | :21:46. | :22:11. | |
this trip? In 2012 we went to France for Remembrance Day. We thotght | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
about what we could do in two years time. We started talking to its | :22:18. | :22:41. | |
gates in France, Germany and Belgium. `` to Scouts in Fr`nce | :22:42. | :22:54. | |
Germany and Belgium. How much walking was involved? There was a | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
lot of walking, that it did not matter very much. Did you fdel how | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
those soldiers might have fdlt? I got a bit of a sense of that. But we | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
were not under all the stress. Do you think going out there m`kes you | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
understand the enormity of the First World War? We what that way on | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
purpose because that is the way that the regiment walked during the | :23:34. | :23:43. | |
battle. But we rested more than the dead. Pars but we rested more than | :23:44. | :24:16. | |
the did. Has it made you understand lore | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
about the sacrifice? How do you feel about your relatives and thd other | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
people that did not come back? We went to a lot of graveyards when we | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
were there. On the last day I was looking at all the graves. H did not | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
realise you could fill walls with the names. It was just a fr`ction of | :24:47. | :24:58. | |
all the people that they're worth. `` all the people that therd where. | :24:59. | :25:09. | |
Here is the weather. A pretty decent weekend. Saturday will be a day of | :25:10. | :25:30. | |
sunny spells. A spot of light rain in Northern districts were hn the | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
day. Sunday it will be another drive day. Patchy light rain tonight. Some | :25:37. | :25:56. | |
of that will turn heavier. Tomorrow looking reasonable. High`prdssure | :25:57. | :26:17. | |
raging in on Sunday. Patchy rain tonight. By daybreak tomorrow, a dry | :26:18. | :26:32. | |
start. That sets the tone through the rest of the day. The ond | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
exception will be later in the afternoon. There will be higher | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
cloud across Gloucestershird. That could deliver light rain. On Monday | :26:45. | :27:06. | |
