what happened. Leaving one man dead, a wom`n under

arrest and neighbours wondering I was up in my room and I hdard lots

:01:25.:01:38.

of shouting and banging so H came downstairs and everybody was out of

their House saying, there is a fire. I went and got my kids and ht was

crazy, I heard smashing of Windows and kicking doors down.

:01:50.:01:58.

fighters dragged a man from the top floor flat

:01:59.:02:02.

He was taken to hospital but doctors weren't able to savd him.

:02:03.:02:10.

Nobody we have spoken to kndw the deceased but there is a sense of

:02:11.:02:18.

shock that this has happened. This happened during the night so the

:02:19.:02:25.

whole street could have been on fire. This is a quiet area `nd my

:02:26.:02:33.

kids were in tears because there were chaos `` there was chaos

:02:34.:02:40.

everywhere. It is quite shocking, thinking that this could happen in

:02:41.:02:42.

Officers have tonight tried to reassure people.

:02:43.:02:47.

This is an isolated incident and we understand people are in shock, and

:02:48.:02:56.

for a fire to happen we unddrstand it can be a big event. All dfforts

:02:57.:03:03.

were put in but sadly the vhctim died of his injuries.

:03:04.:03:08.

Crews are still working at the scene while a post mortem

:03:09.:03:11.

Tonight a 29`year`old woman is being questioned on suspicion of lurder

:03:12.:03:14.

A Bristol nurse who answered a prank phone call from people pretdnding to

:03:15.:03:20.

be the Queen and Prince Charles was described as a brave and cotrageous

:03:21.:03:23.

Jacintha Saldana was on a nightshift when two Australian

:03:24.:03:27.

radio DJs phoned the King Edward VII hospital in London.

:03:28.:03:33.

The Duchess of Cambridge was suffering acute morning sickness

:03:34.:03:35.

at the time and staff were tricked into giving out information.

:03:36.:03:40.

Andrew Plant is at Southmead hospital tonight `

:03:41.:03:42.

She came to the UK looking for a better life.

:03:43.:04:08.

After qualifying as a nurse at home in India she applied

:04:09.:04:11.

In 2003 she was joined by her husband, an accountant,

:04:12.:04:15.

She was ambitious ` described by those close to her

:04:16.:04:19.

as a diligent worker ` a confident person ` and a first class nurse.

:04:20.:04:22.

In search of a better career and a higher salary Jacintha resigned

:04:23.:04:25.

from her job here at Southmdad in 2008 and started work in London

:04:26.:04:28.

Living away from her husband and children in Bristol

:04:29.:04:32.

for the working week, striving to support her famhly.

:04:33.:04:34.

And it was there at 5.30am on the 4th December 2012 that she picked up

:04:35.:04:37.

a phone call on the front ddsk ` a phone call which she thought was

:04:38.:04:41.

And which she put through to the ward on which The Duchess

:04:42.:04:45.

The call was a prank from an Australian radio st`tion.

:04:46.:04:49.

The nurses were tricked into revealing details

:04:50.:04:50.

At her inquest today in London her whole family were there.

:04:51.:05:00.

They were accompanied by thd MP Keith Vaz who's helped stpport

:05:01.:05:02.

Her husband told the inquest that Jacintha had never suffered

:05:03.:05:10.

from any psychological problems or tried to harm herself beford.

:05:11.:05:19.

"She has touched the hearts of everyone she has met.

:05:20.:05:22.

The inquest will continue tomorrow and will examine

:05:23.:05:24.

the three seconds in the Brhstol nurse's life that changed everything

:05:25.:05:27.

The University of the West of England has today been trying out

:05:28.:05:31.

'Molly', as she's known, is part of a 20 year programme by

:05:32.:05:37.

It's hoped Molly can come to the aid of a growing number

:05:38.:05:40.

of patients diagnosed with this devastating disease.

:05:41.:05:42.

Our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill has been to see her.

:05:43.:05:50.

I am a companion robot and H have been designed to work in partnership

:05:51.:05:55.

with you. Meet Molly ` a prototype robot

:05:56.:05:57.

designed to help dementia People with dementia can get tremors

:05:58.:06:08.

so carrying a hot drink arotnd the House can be dangerous. Can Molly

:06:09.:06:15.

help us? What can I do for xou? Bedroom. I am on my way. Shd has

:06:16.:06:23.

remote sensors which will tdll her where she is in the House. She seems

:06:24.:06:25.

to be going towards the bedroom She'll remind them to do thhngs

:06:26.:06:28.

like take their medication, have their meal

:06:29.:06:30.

and even give them a bit of a hand. She could always wake you up

:06:31.:06:33.

in the morning, I suppose. Molly's been developed

:06:34.:06:36.

at these labs at the University Today, a member of the

:06:37.:06:38.

Bristol Older People's Forul tried If the worst came to the worst, I

:06:39.:06:56.

would be glad. If you need somebody to talk to you, that would be good.

:06:57.:06:59.

But the people behind the idea believe it could also help carers.

:07:00.:07:04.

We have developed a logging systems so things that happen in thd

:07:05.:07:12.

environment, did they have poor sleep? Things like that can be

:07:13.:07:16.

locked on the system. And ?6 million of lottery ftnding

:07:17.:07:19.

has just been awarded to another project that could also help

:07:20.:07:24.

dementia sufferers in Bristol. They It could be a training programme for

:07:25.:07:33.

people in shops or at the hairdressers. GP surgeries, we could

:07:34.:07:40.

work in partnership with thdm. There are 16 different projects and they

:07:41.:07:43.

will be rolled out over the next five years.

:07:44.:07:47.

It will take at least 15 ye`rs for Molly to be perfected

:07:48.:07:50.

but with cases of dementia `lmost doubling in a decade, technology may

:07:51.:07:53.

Joining us now is Greg Thompson whose mother has dementia,

:07:54.:08:05.

and Sian Blackham from the Bristol based Alzheimer's Society.

:08:06.:08:07.

What you make of inventions like this? Anything that can help a carer

:08:08.:08:16.

has to be advantageous becatse my father looked after my mothdr for

:08:17.:08:20.

six years on his own, never had a break and it was starting to be

:08:21.:08:25.

detrimental to his health. @nything that could help him and givd him a

:08:26.:08:30.

break, not having to follow her all the time, has to be a good thing.

:08:31.:08:36.

You do need human beings though to have that interaction and comfort

:08:37.:08:43.

and support for somebody. I think this is an interesting projdct and

:08:44.:08:47.

technology has a part to pl`y supporting people with dementia

:08:48.:08:50.

People with dementia tell us that isolation and not getting the right

:08:51.:08:54.

support is a big issue for them so we need to make sure that the

:08:55.:08:57.

government invests on this `s well as. The Alzheimer's Society, you

:08:58.:09:05.

have supported an enormous number of projects, is there anything you are

:09:06.:09:08.

seeing that you are optimistic about? Research is underway but lots

:09:09.:09:17.

needs to be done. We have h`d more funding in Bristol to have dementia

:09:18.:09:23.

navigators, people who can support people who live with dementha from

:09:24.:09:26.

the start of the diagnosis `nd through their journey, and provide

:09:27.:09:30.

support and information when it is needed, and that is important. How

:09:31.:09:45.

would your mother have reacted to Molly? She was a technophobd! Is it

:09:46.:09:57.

as terrible as people say it is Personally, yes, it is. It hs like a

:09:58.:10:03.

slow death. I have just been to Spain and my mother did not know who

:10:04.:10:06.

I was stopped I am looking `t her and I am seeing my mother btt what

:10:07.:10:11.

is within her is not the sale, she is not there any more. I know, it is

:10:12.:10:14.

a very painful thing. You're watching BBC Points West

:10:15.:10:32.

we're very glad you could join us. Down there on the beach, solething

:10:33.:10:41.

more breathtaking is starting to appear. But you cannot see that

:10:42.:10:50.

until the end of the progralme! He is such a tease!

:10:51.:11:01.

The future of thousands of West Country bank workers became

:11:02.:11:03.

Both Royal Bank of Scotland and the Bank of Scotland announced this

:11:04.:11:08.

morning they would move thehr head offices to London if Scottish voters

:11:09.:11:11.

So what impact would this h`ve on bank staff in Bristol?

:11:12.:11:14.

Our business correspondent Dave Harvey has been finding out.

:11:15.:11:20.

The name seems clear enough ` a Scottish bank, employing 0,00

:11:21.:11:22.

And until today, many had wondered if independence

:11:23.:11:25.

for Scotland might mean West Country jobs moving north of the border

:11:26.:11:33.

As it turns out ` it's quite the opposite.

:11:34.:11:39.

Under European law, banks mtst be headquartered in the countrx where

:11:40.:11:44.

they do the most banking, and that is in England. Independence for

:11:45.:11:50.

Scotland would mean that Thd Royal Bank of Scotland would need to move

:11:51.:11:51.

to England. At the bank's extensive headquarters

:11:52.:11:54.

outside Edinburgh this mornhng, It is, they say, just a leg`l move `

:11:55.:11:56.

no operations or real jobs would be moved,

:11:57.:12:01.

but the deposits of English savers would be placed under the protective

:12:02.:12:03.

wings of the Bank of England. In Bristol,

:12:04.:12:09.

I met the man who until recdntly was I think the reality is that we will

:12:10.:12:27.

see Scotland exporting employment and in financial services that means

:12:28.:12:29.

opportunities for Bristol and the West Country because the employers

:12:30.:12:34.

will be looking for locations outside Scotland where they can move

:12:35.:12:35.

people. Along the harbourside, around 3 000

:12:36.:12:37.

work for the Lloyd's Group, which They too announced today thdy would

:12:38.:12:41.

set up an English HQ for English bank accounts in the event

:12:42.:12:45.

of Scottish Independence. For Mr Butler,

:12:46.:12:49.

this all offers opportunitids ` Over the years, financial sdrvices

:12:50.:13:02.

have been part of the backbone of the Bristol and West Countrx economy

:13:03.:13:07.

so it would not surprise me if Scottish banks look at Bristol for

:13:08.:13:13.

moving employment from Edinburgh and Glasgow.

:13:14.:13:16.

Of course, before any of thhs happens, there's the small latter

:13:17.:13:18.

And on that, the West Country can only w`tch

:13:19.:13:33.

A fascinating debate, I havd been absolutely gripped by it. Wd are

:13:34.:13:36.

talking about the effects of Scottish independence on Sunday

:13:37.:13:40.

Politics, which returns this weekend. It is good to have it back.

:13:41.:13:45.

People are being warned to stay out of the water at a lake in Portishead

:13:46.:13:49.

It's turned the water a green colour, and can be fatal

:13:50.:13:53.

It can also cause sickness and muscle pain in humans.

:13:54.:13:57.

North Somerset Council says it's talking to the government

:13:58.:13:59.

and Environment Agency about the problem.

:14:00.:14:00.

There's anger in Bath over the closure of public toilets.

:14:01.:14:05.

Five were shut this summer ` and it's claimed some peopld are now

:14:06.:14:08.

being forced to relieve thelselves in the street.

:14:09.:14:10.

The issue's being debated bx Bath and North East Somerset council this

:14:11.:14:13.

evening, with opposition cotncillors demanding changes.

:14:14.:14:15.

Here's our political editor Paul Barltrop.

:14:16.:14:20.

Toilets locked to keep out the public ` but the public keep coming.

:14:21.:14:29.

I see people going behind that game, going in the corner, anywhere they

:14:30.:14:37.

can find. They are desperatd to go, where are they going to go? ``

:14:38.:14:41.

behind that bin. Twerton residents are angry

:14:42.:14:46.

at what's happened Last year she made the headlines

:14:47.:14:47.

when she camped in the toildts. Her protest got her the attdntion

:14:48.:14:52.

of the public ` and politichans the council subsequently agreed to

:14:53.:14:58.

a pause in the planned clostres It is very disappointing and they

:14:59.:15:08.

are going ahead with plans to close it. 2500 people signed the petition

:15:09.:15:13.

and put it on the council agenda. Now the toilets are locked, what are

:15:14.:15:19.

they going to think? This is not the way democracy should work.

:15:20.:15:22.

Some of those shut ` such as Larkhall ` may be rdvived.

:15:23.:15:25.

The council's in talks to let out the building

:15:26.:15:27.

But the council say to afford it, savings have to be made.

:15:28.:15:33.

This evening, all eyes will be on a full meeting of Bath and Solerset

:15:34.:15:41.

Council. It could be diffictlt for the ruling Liberal Democrats who do

:15:42.:15:48.

not have a ruling majority. It is a debacle and a waste of tax payers'

:15:49.:15:52.

money. The toilets have dropped a third. They have gone from 008th to

:15:53.:15:59.

37, I think. The cost of a toilet has trebled, that cannot be good use

:16:00.:16:02.

the tax payers' money. Tonight's vote won't reversd

:16:03.:16:05.

the closures...but it'll put pressure

:16:06.:16:06.

on the council to avoid any more. Our next guest is a World Champion

:16:07.:16:12.

at the age of 65. Jane Leslie, mother of the

:16:13.:16:16.

Bristol MP Charlotte, cycled, swam and ran her way to victory

:16:17.:16:18.

in the world triathlon tournament. It took place in Canada,

:16:19.:16:22.

but Jane is now firmly back on West Country soil, and joins us now,

:16:23.:16:27.

Jane, have you recovered? You won this thing? Yes, I `m the

:16:28.:16:39.

world champion. How old werd the other people taking part? They were

:16:40.:16:47.

between 65 and 69 across thd world. Lots of Americans, Australi`ns, all

:16:48.:16:53.

over. You have put an enormous amount of effort into this. You are

:16:54.:16:59.

no stranger to winning. This is the 1 I always wanted to win. I was

:17:00.:17:04.

reading your story and it sdemed to start with a very personal story

:17:05.:17:10.

with a friend. I did a lot of dancing and one of my friends got

:17:11.:17:17.

breast cancer and I went swhmming with her, and I discovered H had a

:17:18.:17:21.

talent for swimming, and th`t came up only because of the test might

:17:22.:17:25.

rent. I went from there. Ch`rlotte was a swimmer, and I took hdr along.

:17:26.:17:33.

You are sporty family? A bit sporty, yes. What is a typical day

:17:34.:17:41.

in regime? I will get up at 5:3 am and train with other swimmers, and

:17:42.:17:50.

then I may go for a training cycle ride and then maybe a run off the

:17:51.:17:57.

bike. That would be a hard day. I did have a coach. How far do you

:17:58.:18:05.

run? About ten kilometres. Not far at all! How does your body responds

:18:06.:18:13.

to the demands? You have to look after your body fairly well. My

:18:14.:18:18.

coach tells me to get enough rest. That is the hardest thing. H do

:18:19.:18:22.

strengthening exercises so H do not get injured. He is sensible and you

:18:23.:18:28.

will be OK. Congratulations, it is an incredible achievement. Thank you

:18:29.:18:37.

for coming in. Do you feel hnspired? I am not sure about the exercise,

:18:38.:18:38.

that is difficult! I'm talking about a tattoo

:18:39.:18:42.

of course. They're becoming more popul`r than

:18:43.:18:49.

ever with one in five An exhibition opens this wedkend

:18:50.:18:55.

at Knowle West Media Centre in Bristol celebrating

:18:56.:18:58.

the body art of Bristolians and The images and voices of thd people

:18:59.:19:00.

have been collected over thd summer. Behind this curtain is

:19:01.:19:05.

a tattoo parlour with a difference. Welcome to the mobile tattooed

parlour. This is where we collect everybody's photographs.

Years Sonya's life was turned upside down when her son had

:19:36.:19:38.

Eight hours of open brain strgery was performed to save his lhfe, and

:19:39.:19:47.

the rest is history. Years `nd years of rehabilitation so he could talk

:19:48.:19:52.

That's when she had the guardian angel on her b`ck with

:19:53.:19:56.

Her story is one of 200 that has been collected.

:20:07.:20:18.

sat in this chair with a neddle in his hand, and he said, do you want

:20:19.:20:32.

one or not? I said, yes. We are finding that taps use our f`mily

:20:33.:20:36.

affair so mothers and daughters will have tattooed, and fathers will pass

:20:37.:20:43.

on the craft tattooed to thdir son. Everybody thinks a tattooed parlour

:20:44.:20:51.

can be a dark side of life but we are finding that many peopld are

:20:52.:20:57.

going into them. Sonny has tpdated his today. This is what you do not

:20:58.:21:09.

like any more? Yes. As you can see, I do not have any tattooed lyself

:22:02.:22:07.

dear. For Simon, it is a lot more complicated than that.

:22:08.:22:07.

This is a man with a very complex plan.

:22:08.:22:15.

It's old fashioned in a way ` a compass and points

:22:16.:22:22.

in the distance are enough to make a sand map, and a rake,

It's like creating crop circles on the beach.
