:00:21. > :00:28.We are showing to the Russi`ns that this kind of behaviour is not

:02:07. > :02:09.I asked him about the growing crisis over Ukr`ine
:02:10. > :02:12.He was clear where both NATO and EU stood in response to the Russian
:02:13. > :02:20.We have been following the situation with great concern.
:02:21. > :02:25.We believe it is extremely hmportant to have a firm position in terms
:02:26. > :02:30.of making clear to Russia that they should respect all
:02:31. > :02:35.the international principles, and we continue to work on two tracks.
:02:36. > :02:38.On one side, showing our support to Ukraine, politically,
:02:39. > :02:47.At the same time, we are showing to the Russians that this kind

:03:51. > :03:58.We are used to security at the airport, it is not unusual to us and

:04:36. > :04:39.planning, what would have gone into this?
:04:40. > :04:43.You are right, months of pl`nning. Once it was announced there would be
:04:44. > :04:48.a note to conference and thd location set, that is when the work
:04:49. > :04:54.would have started. `` a NATO conference. I havd worked
:04:55. > :04:58.with the coordinator in the past, he spent eight months in the area
:04:59. > :05:03.planning all this. What we are interested in is the

:05:07. > :05:12.What threats might they havd prepared for?
:05:13. > :05:18.The weak areas would be oncd they left the airport, going to the
:05:19. > :05:23.locations, Newport and Cardhff. That would be a weak spot and those
:05:24. > :05:26.routes would have been checked assiduously for any dangers. Those
:05:27. > :05:31.checks would have gone on for a number of weeks to make surd nothing
:05:32. > :05:35.has changed, looking for issues in the landscape where somebodx would
:05:36. > :05:40.want to cause a problem, cotld conceal themselves. Those areas
:05:41. > :05:43.would have been eliminated `s much as possible.
:05:44. > :05:51.Picking Bristol Airport, as you report said, the security h`s been
:05:52. > :05:55.very tight. That is easy to contain. Easy to contain. We have sedn the
:05:56. > :06:00.rings of steel literally. Interesting, watching at Brhstol,
:06:01. > :06:03.all the delegates were brought through the old tunnel, kept well
:06:04. > :06:11.away from the holiday`makers and businessmen. It is sad that it is
:06:12. > :06:16.sealed off from real life. They are politicians. They `re
:06:17. > :06:23.elected by ourselves. But, when you have looked at previous NATO
:06:24. > :06:28.conferences, G20 talks, you have looked at groups that have wanted to
:06:29. > :06:33.protest. Most people do protest peacefully. It is those who are
:06:34. > :06:35.extreme, who want to cause trouble. Very nice to talk to you, thanks for
:06:36. > :06:38.coming in. A train driver has told an hnquest
:06:39. > :06:42.in Taunton he heard a "loud bang" when he hit a car on a level

:06:46. > :06:48.the crossing in Athelney last March. Another witness said she had seen
:06:49. > :06:51.Mr France roll back his car and drive over the crossing shortly
:06:52. > :06:54.before the crash. The inquest into Mr France's death
:06:55. > :06:59.is expected to finish tomorrow. A long`standing Bristol bushness has
:07:00. > :07:06.collapsed, leading to the loss of around 1 0
:07:07. > :07:09.jobs, including 70 in Bristol. MGL Distribution,
:07:10. > :07:11.which traded as McArthur, supplied fencing and agricultural
:07:12. > :07:14.products to livestock farmers. The administrators handling
:07:15. > :07:17.the closure say they haven't ruled out selling the business
:07:18. > :07:26.and its assets in some form. The next round
:07:27. > :07:30.of pilot badger culls in the West is expected to start soon,
:07:31. > :07:33.and police in Gloucestershire say Last year, officers were crhticised
:07:34. > :07:38.for being too heavy`handed. But this year, the constabulary says
:07:39. > :07:41.there will be fewer officers on patrol, but more focus in
:07:42. > :07:44.the villages affected by thd cull. Here's our Gloucestershire reporter,
:07:45. > :07:51.Steve Knibbs. You have a lot of cars and ` lot
:07:52. > :07:59.of people, last year, a lot of police dvidence
:08:00. > :08:02.as well. This was the reality last ydar
:08:03. > :08:08.for many people who had nothing to do with the cull,
:08:09. > :08:10.apart from living in the cull zone. The police tried to do the best they
:08:11. > :08:18.could under difficult circulstances. Lots of them didn't know thd area,
:08:19. > :08:21.so couldn't do much anyway. We felt exhausted
:08:22. > :08:24.by the whole thing. It was emotionally
:08:25. > :08:26.and psychologically exhausthng, Last year, there were no huge
:08:27. > :08:32.protests or outbreaks of disorder, so this year, vans full
:08:33. > :08:35.of police will go, replaced by local And less officers from outshde
:08:36. > :08:42.forces who lacked local knowledge. We have a lot more officers in the
:08:43. > :08:44.daytime specifically in comlunities, They will connect with the community
:08:45. > :08:54.with any instances to reasstre people, which didn't happen with
:08:55. > :08:56.people last year particularly well. Campaigners are still busy surveying
:08:57. > :08:59.badger setts in the cull zone. Many still claim
:09:00. > :09:01.the police targetted them unfairly. The police themselves even
:09:02. > :09:07.admitted at one point they We felt they had let
:09:08. > :09:15.the other side off. But today, police defended their
:09:16. > :09:17.independence but said they have to liase with culling company, and
:09:18. > :09:28.others, for operational reasons We need to know if there is a change
:09:29. > :09:32.in risk to deploy our resources The same as last year.
:09:33. > :09:38.However, we have never nor will we ever have a member within the police
:09:39. > :09:42.control room. It is expected to start within the
:09:43. > :09:47.next few days and the difference this time around for everybody is
:09:48. > :09:50.experience, lessons learned. The challengers have not gone away, it
:09:51. > :09:57.is not just the police who `re used to working here, but also the
:09:58. > :10:01.protesters intent on disrupting the process where they can.
:10:02. > :10:03.You're watching BBC Points West it's Thursday so nearly the end
