A coroner has concluded that a Bristol nurse took her own life

:00:13.:00:16.

after answering a hoax phond call about the Duchess of Cambridge.

:00:17.:00:19.

Jacintha Saldanha was caring for the Duchess at a London hospital when

:00:20.:00:22.

two Australian DJs called impersonating the Queen.

:00:23.:00:27.

As Andrew Plant reports, her family have today spoken about thehr loss.

:00:28.:00:37.

Nor than 18 months after thdir mother's death made worldwide

:00:38.:00:43.

headlines, Jacintha Saldanh`'s husband and two children left her

:00:44.:00:47.

inquest today accompanied bx the MP Keith Vaz and spoke to the cameras

:00:48.:00:55.

for the first time. We thank our friends and family around Bristol

:00:56.:00:59.

and around elsewhere for supporting us in our difficulties. My dad and

:01:00.:01:08.

sister and myself miss our beloved mum every day and will do so for the

:01:09.:01:15.

rest of our lives. In December 012, the Duchess of Cambridge was a

:01:16.:01:18.

patient at the hospital where Jacintha Saldanha worked. The nurse

:01:19.:01:22.

answered a call which she thought was from the Queen. In fact, it was

:01:23.:01:29.

a hoax. Yes, we are right now.. Two Australian radio DJs tricked staff

:01:30.:01:33.

into revealing private information. Today, her inquest heard how a few

:01:34.:01:38.

hours later Jacintha Saldanha e`mailed a friend. She said, "I feel

:01:39.:01:43.

I am to be blamed. I don't know how to face the bosses tomorrow. I feel

:01:44.:01:47.

so ashamed of myself." Jacintha Saldanha worked here at Southmead

:01:48.:01:51.

Hospital as a nurse for six years, but left here in 2008 to john the

:01:52.:01:57.

staff at the King Edward VIH Hospital in London. It meant long

:01:58.:02:01.

periods away from her familx in Bristol. The day after she took that

:02:02.:02:11.

hoax phone call, she was told she wouldn't face disciplinary `ction,

:02:12.:02:15.

but she would have to attend a meeting. The coroner said she had

:02:16.:02:20.

taken her own life and the hoax call had been clearly pressing on her

:02:21.:02:24.

mind. One of the DJs who made that call, Mel Greig, made a statement to

:02:25.:02:28.

the court today in tears as she apologised to Jacintha Sald`nha s

:02:29.:02:32.

husband and children. This was the end of the very public part of the

:02:33.:02:37.

process for a family of four who are now a family of three.

:02:38.:02:49.

Police in Swindon have charged a woman with murder after a hospital

:02:50.:03:00.

in the town. The woman will appear before magistrates tomorrow.

:03:01.:03:06.

The Archbishop of Canterburx has begun a three`day visit to the West.

:03:07.:03:09.

The Most Reverend Justin Welby began his tour of the region in Bristol

:03:10.:03:12.

this afternoon where he attdnded an event at the city's Cathedr`l. This

:03:13.:03:15.

evening, he's joining a Chrhstian street patrol in Kingswood helping

:03:16.:03:17.

drinkers in pubs and clubs. Speaking on Points West earlier, he told us

:03:18.:03:20.

it was an important part of his mission.

:03:21.:03:28.

They go out on the streets `nd they work with local authorities and they

:03:29.:03:34.

are there to provide support, encouragement and safety for those

:03:35.:03:38.

having a good time on the town and particularly for those who have had

:03:39.:03:39.

too much aftime on the town Tomorrow the archbishop will address

:03:40.:03:45.

clergy in Swindon, then conduct baptisms in thd river

:03:46.:03:47.

beneath Malmesbury Abbey. As both sides continue frantic

:03:48.:03:55.

campaigning in Scotland, thdre are calls today for more power to be

:03:56.:03:57.

given to the West country. The deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg,

:03:58.:04:00.

is backing those who want more devolution in England following the

:04:01.:04:03.

Scottish independence referdndum. Here's our political editor,

:04:04.:04:05.

Paul Barltrop. Scotland will get more power

:04:06.:04:15.

whatever happens. The Parli`ment in Edinburgh will be given control over

:04:16.:04:21.

more areas, but more power for Holyrood will increase a deficit

:04:22.:04:24.

south of the border in Westlinster and in the West Country. English

:04:25.:04:28.

politicians would have even less say over what happens in in Scotland

:04:29.:04:32.

whilst Scottish MPs would vote in our Parliament and what happens

:04:33.:04:36.

here. Experts reckon there would be demands for change not just to our

:04:37.:04:40.

Parliament and for English regional devolution. On the streets of Bath,

:04:41.:04:44.

most voters I talked to wanted the Scots to stay, but mention of all

:04:45.:04:49.

the goodies they would get did stoke up some passion. Why should they get

:04:50.:04:56.

more powers? If they are part of the UK, they are part of the UK. There

:04:57.:04:59.

is no reason why they should get anything better than us down this

:05:00.:05:05.

end. I don't see why they should have additional powers. Could we get

:05:06.:05:14.

regional Assemblies? It was rejected in a referendum in the north of

:05:15.:05:17.

England. We tried this and ht didn't work and there is lots of rdasons

:05:18.:05:23.

why. One was that it was enforced by New Labour and the powers that were

:05:24.:05:28.

given at that time were fairly weak. One notable south`west he is dent

:05:29.:05:35.

who is `` resident is Billy Bragg. If it is a good thing for Scotland,

:05:36.:05:39.

why isn't it a good thing for England? The way to eng gaeg young

:05:40.:05:45.

people is to `` engage young people is to make their voices heard. We

:05:46.:05:51.

can start to get people to feel that their voice is heard. Consthtutional

:05:52.:05:57.

change is coming. Scotland will have its say first. After that, Dngland's

:05:58.:06:01.

voters can debate how best to be governed.

:06:02.:06:07.

Thousands of people took to the streets again today as the

:06:08.:06:10.

Tour of Britain raced through Wiltshire.

:06:11.:06:11.

Stage 6 of the event started from the centre of Bath before m`king

:06:12.:06:14.

its way through the county. It finished in Hemel Hempstead with

:06:15.:06:17.

Austrian, Matthias Brandle crossing the line first.

:06:18.:06:20.

That's it for now. There's more news on the BBC websitd.

:06:21.:06:23.

We're back throughout the weekend. But for now good nhght

:06:24.:06:25.

and I will leave you with Ian who the latest forecast.

:06:26.:06:31.

Bottom Good evening. A dry weekend lies ahead. There will

:06:32.:06:37.

be bright or sunny spells. H suspect Sunday will turn out to be the

:06:38.:06:41.

cloudier of the two days, btt by day at least it will be warm if at times

:06:42.:06:45.

breezy. More particularly so down towards the extreme south. Through

:06:46.:06:50.

the course of tonight under clear skies, temperatures down to 10 to 12

:06:51.:06:56.

Celsius, but it could get as low as seven Celsius in the countrxside.

:06:57.:07:02.

The cloud will lift and bre`k and we should be in for a day that will be

:07:03.:07:07.

similar to today. So some bright or sunny spells. Variable amounts of

:07:08.:07:10.

cloud. Remaining dry and little change as the hours tick by. It

:07:11.:07:14.

should be pleasant enough into the afternoon. Temperatures getting into

:07:15.:07:20.

the low 20s where you have the best of the sunshine. 21 or 22 Cdlsius

:07:21.:07:23.

possible. On Sunday, the best of the sunshine out towards the West. More

:07:24.:07:27.

cloud out towards the east. It should stay dry. That's it from me.

:07:28.:07:31.

Here is look at your nation`l forecast.

:07:32.:07:31.

an outlook now for the next few days.

:07:32.:07:41.

We are in good shape. Most will stay dry. Hopefully you will see good

:07:42.:07:49.

spells of sunshine. It will be breezy as we go through southern

:07:50.:07:53.

areas. But not much, if any rain. Spare a thought for friends across

:07:54.:07:59.

south-Eastern Europe. We have had torrential downpours over Italy into

:08:00.:08:04.

the Balkans, parts of Greece and further heavy thundery downpours

:08:05.:08:07.

expected could cause further issues. You can see the extent of the cloud

:08:08.:08:12.

here. Back home we've had well-broken cloud. If you look to

:08:13.:08:17.

the north, there is a greater than average chance of seeing the

:08:18.:08:20.

northern lights, would you believe - that is because we have high solar

:08:21.:08:24.

activity. Good luck with that. Weather wise, not a lot going on.

:08:25.:08:29.

Dry, murky out there. We have got some fog across parts of eastern

:08:30.:08:32.

Scotland, through central areas as well. Fog patches over north-east

:08:33.:08:38.

England too. A fair bit of cloud. Where we have clear skies,

:08:39.:08:45.

temperatures falling away. In rural spots temperatures dipping down

:08:46.:08:46.
