A family of travellers from Gloucestershire who made | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
millions from their paving business, while treating people like slaves, | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
have been ordered to pay back much of their fortune. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
The Connors family lived the high life, | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Meanwhile, the men who workdd for them lived in squalid c`ravans, | :00:22. | :00:26. | |

It's the most Gloucestershire police has ever confiscated from criminals. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Police footage of William Connors, in the yellow jacket. | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
But the workers here were vtlnerable men, some picked up | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
They were exploited and intimidated and forced to work. | :00:51. | :01:02. | |
It was hidden in bank accounts and even stashed in caravans. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
The family made more than ?5 million. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
They made a fortune and thex would charge whatever they could charge | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
the householder. There was ` man prepared to pay ?10,000 for a | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
driveway, and they would take that. When police arrested the falily | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
they found the workers living in appalling conditions. Squalhd | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
caravans with filthy bedding. We have captured on camera as they were | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
abused and beaten. William Connors was sent to prison along with his | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
wife and two sons. His son`hn`law was also convicted. They will now `` | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
now have two hand over their ill gotten gains. They all more than | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
1675 million pounds. They mtst each paid this amount of money. Of the | :01:58. | :02:12. | |
?2,272,000 they will have to pay, the police say they already have | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
access to almost ?600,000 from various cat that `` bank accounts | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
kept in their names. The rest will have to be made back from the family | :02:24. | :02:28. | |

Dennis France was killed in March last year when he drove over | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
a railway crossing, even though the barriers were down. | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
His car was hit by a train travelling more than 100 miles an | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
hour. This afternoon a coroner sahd it | :03:11. | :03:11. | |
was a desperately tragic accident. Scientists in the west have found | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
a way of slowing down the growth They've been using a heart drug | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
in their tests at the Public Health It's early days, but they hope | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
this could be a breakthrough which Our Health Correspondent Matthew | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Hill reports. A patient with suspected Ebola | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
arrives at Freetown Hospital With two million people livhng | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
mainly in slums in the capital, conditions are right for | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
the deadly virus to spread widely. This was filmed recently by Pete | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Nelson, an environmental consultant. He says the effect on | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
the country has been devast`ting. That's why scientists here `t | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Public Health England's Porton Down He says the effect on | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
the country has been devast`ting. The president of Sierra Leone has | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
eight has been promised, but is slow to arrive. With the closure of the | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
airlines there is virtually no way of getting supplies or technical | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
assistance into the country. Frankly, that is the most ilportant | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
thing the country needs. That's why scientists here `t | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
Public Health England's Porton Down are trying to find ways | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
of treating the virus. They've just published a paper about | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
a trial they've been doing with a The drug, called Ouabain, is derived | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
from a powerful tribal arrow poison. It has an effect | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
on a human protein that the virus Through using this heart drtg | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
on infected human cells in the laboratory, | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
scientists have found that they ve managed to slow down the growth | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
of the virus by around 50%. If you cancel the buyers down in a | :04:40. | :04:52. | |
wheel person it would buy thme for them. Hopefully the patient would | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
recover. We are long from that because we are working in | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
experimental laboratories. Ht is an interesting breakthrough from our | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
point of view because we have something that could potenthally | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
have some effect. The scientists need to raise around ?3 million | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
before human trials can beghn. Given the Civic `` scale of the threats, | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
it could be money well spent. In Rugby, Gloucester took a pounding | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
in their first game to kick off the new Premiership season, with a | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
loss away to champions Northampton. The Cherry and Whites brought | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
in a whole new coaching teal over the summer, as well | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
as adding several new players. But it wasn't enough to sectre | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
a win. Northampton ran in four trids, | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
while Gloucester only managdd to score off the boot of James Hook | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
and Greg Laidlaw. The President of the United States | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
of America is flying over the Atlantic tonight after `ttending | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
the NATO summit in Wales. But before he left he made | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
an unannounced visit to Stonehenge He was given a guided tour | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
of the stones. Mr Obama then made his way to RAF | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Fairford to board Air Force One There's more on that story | :06:12. | :06:19. | |

Hello. I am sure you cannot wait to find out what the weekend wet ler be | :07:33. | :07:46. | |
like. I have to say -- weather will be like. I have to say it is looking | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
