:01:32. > :01:38.The end of shift and the grim reality sets in th`t these
:01:39. > :01:43.For the last, Dairy Crest has been here for decades.
:01:44. > :02:01.This factory, with its links to the milk industry has been here for
:02:02. > :02:09.decades. People will be without works.
:02:10. > :02:17.This is terrible. Where are the farmers going to take their milk?
:02:18. > :02:25.Dairy Crest has been here for ever. I remember it as a child. They were

:03:22. > :03:29.Fiona Lamdin, BBC Points West in Chard.
:03:30. > :03:46.Here is our business correspondence, Dave Harvey. There are thred ways
:03:47. > :03:55.you can sell milk, apparently. Doorstep deliveries. We saw that in
:03:56. > :04:04.the owner's package. There `re no requirements for doorstep ddliveries
:04:05. > :04:09.any more. Supermarkets and shops are selling an awful lot of milk, but
:04:10. > :04:19.farmers should still be abld to strike a deal. She's? The most
:04:20. > :04:37.popular in Britain is Cathedral City. Who sells that? Farmers.

:04:53. > :04:55.Opponents said the deal amotnted to a state subsidy,
:04:56. > :05:00.But today the Commissioner said a "positive decision"
:05:01. > :05:11.A formal announcement is expected within weeks.
:05:12. > :05:22.So Dave. Is this the final hurdle crossed?
:05:23. > :05:35.They've announced the deal to fix the price. Then it went to Brussels.
:05:36. > :05:45.Why? To fix the price. So opponents said, hang on, what other company
:05:46. > :05:54.has their prices fixed? Thex said it was incompatible with EU law. Now,
:05:55. > :05:59.they've changed their tune. They've said they will reach a positive
:06:00. > :06:03.decision. This is very complicated sttff!
:06:04. > :06:04.The police have confirmed they're calling

:06:30. > :06:34.crimes across the Bristol area, in the last three years.
:06:35. > :06:39.A lot of the claims are on this site.
:06:40. > :06:41.In January, five cars were set on fire
:06:42. > :06:46.at this showroom, in Bath, causing around ?100,000 worth of dalage
:06:47. > :06:50.It was treated as an arson `ttack, but later one so`called anarchist
:06:51. > :07:02.group claimed responsibilitx, to the astonishment of the bushness.
:07:03. > :07:14.They've given various reasons for it. Environmental reasons, `nd blame
:07:15. > :07:18.on the high economy. They blame the capitalist market.
:07:19. > :07:20.Over three years, anarchists have laid claim to dozens
:07:21. > :07:27.The police are adamant this has nothing to do with
:07:28. > :07:35.We are talking about crimin`lity. The causes are very varied. One
:07:36. > :07:41.minute it is about NATO, next the Ministry of Justice. But we are
:07:42. > :07:57.It also falls under the ide` of domestic extremism.
:07:58. > :07:58.Thirteen months ago, one group claimed responsibhlity
:07:59. > :08:01.for setting fire to the Police Firearms Training Centre
:08:02. > :08:04.causing ?16 million of damage, but as yet, no one has been charged in

:08:21. > :08:23.The police say they have no evidence linking the devastating blaze with
:08:24. > :08:26.any of the other attacks, or indeed any connection between any of them.
:08:27. > :08:29.But they are now making this appeal to members of the groups
:08:30. > :08:41.It is quite possible that the offenders in this case are hiding
:08:42. > :08:48.within legitimate protest groups. Michael to those groups is please do
:08:49. > :08:52.not let your members across the line into serious offences. Come forward
:08:53. > :08:54.But car sales manager Andrew Muffett,
:08:55. > :08:57.who has installed more CCTV to cover his entire showroom, wants whoever
:08:58. > :09:09.It has caused damage and loss of income. Someone should be khlled
:09:10. > :09:13.The police are determined to end the series of incidents before
:09:14. > :09:22.And Inside Out West will have more on that story, here on BBC One,

:12:40. > :12:55.Daunting of course. I'm askhng the people of Gloucester to votd for me.
:12:56. > :13:02.That is an enormous honour `nd responsibility if I am elected.
:13:03. > :13:11.Genuinely, it is daunting btt I am very committed.
:13:12. > :13:17.It's a huge responsibility, but it's not exactly daunting. I was very

:15:42. > :15:45.police about to historical accusations of assault. There was no
:15:46. > :15:54.comment on this and he was never arrested. Here, we speak to the
:15:55. > :16:03.Archdeacon of Cheltenham. It could be a man boring wolen,
:16:04. > :16:13.couldn't it let ``? Yes. We will be one of the first
:16:14. > :16:20.dioceses to make a choice lhke this, regarding this decision.
:16:21. > :16:26.What are you looking for? We are looking for the very best we
:16:27. > :16:32.can find. Women have been able to be elected before, so we think there
:16:33. > :16:42.could be a really good chance that we could be appointing one of the
:16:43. > :16:48.first women bishops. The Archbishop appointment secretaries will be here
:16:49. > :16:52.tonight and they will be appointing our representatives to work with the
:16:53. > :17:02.church, regarding the appointment. A decision will be made in Easter next
:17:03. > :17:03.year. The final decision will be effectively made by the Prile
:17:04. > :17:06.Minister. A ballet class is being run in Bath,
:17:07. > :17:09.nothing unusual in that, but this class is aimed
:17:10. > :17:12.at people who are over 65. It's to try to encourage people to
:17:13. > :17:15.keep up a more active lifestyle Our Bath reporter, Ali Vowlds,
:17:16. > :17:27.has been to one of the classes. There may not be a tutu in sight And
:17:28. > :17:30.in this class , As for the ballet barre,
:17:31. > :17:49.it's the back of the church chair. I'd never done badly in my life not
:17:50. > :17:53.even as a child. So I thought I d come.
:17:54. > :17:56.A lot of enjoyment and a lot of pleasure. I just enjoy it.
:17:57. > :18:01.The classes are funded by the City of Bath College at the nearby
:18:02. > :18:03.For these students, it's all about staying fit
:18:04. > :18:09.and active and with a few allowances for age, everyone has a go.
:18:10. > :18:18.It is so inspiring. There are so many benefits from ballet including
:18:19. > :18:27.increased posture and awareness alignment. I'm concentrating!
:18:28. > :18:29.It does require an awful lot of concentration,
:18:30. > :18:38.And at 93, there's a real ghrlish enthusiasm from the oldest recruit.
:18:39. > :18:42.In ballet movements you havd two think. So, I find myself thhnking
:18:43. > :18:53.more. All agree they won't be pirouetting pensioners, but for
:18:54. > :19:11.different reasons they've jtst got I'm having a go myself. Between us
:19:12. > :19:28.we have a combined age of 472. But, we can still do it!
:19:29. > :19:32.I want to be a student in that class!
:19:33. > :19:37.I want to be a student in that class!
:19:38. > :19:39.For many Bath rugby supportdrs it was a 'pinch yourself moment',
:19:40. > :19:45.beating one of their fiercest rivals and stopping
:19:46. > :19:48.them scoring a single point Bath's 45 ` 0 thrashing of Leicester
:19:49. > :19:50.has caused quite a stir in the rugby community.
:19:51. > :19:54.The players were back in training today,
:19:55. > :19:58.and already focusing on thehr next game, as Alistair Durden reports:
:19:59. > :20:01.Even after a victory, there was time set aside thhs
:20:02. > :20:05.morning for analysis and for the players to make some improvdments.
:20:06. > :20:07.This though was the sort of result to send reverberations
:20:08. > :20:09.around the Premiership, as Bath completely dismantldd one
:20:10. > :20:26.of their title rivals. It was an incredible result.
:20:27. > :20:34.Leicester is such a great shde. Everybody played up to the standards
:20:35. > :20:38.that they should have. Leicester are one of those teams
:20:39. > :20:41.that can always keep coming back at you. Luckily, we were on thd right
:20:42. > :20:43.side of it. you. Luckily, we were on thd right
:20:44. > :21:00.side of it. This was the first time that they
:21:01. > :21:08.were unable to score a single point against Bath. It was absolutely
:21:09. > :21:14.stunning. I actually said bdfore the game that I thought we would load.
:21:15. > :21:18.How long can we `` how wrong can I be.
:21:19. > :21:24.I took photographs of the scoreboard. They deserve it.
:21:25. > :21:26.For many, it showed Bath can be title contenders this year,
:21:27. > :21:33.but you won't find any of the players believing th`t yet.
:21:34. > :21:47.Which got a lot of hard work to do `` weave. We need to get better this
:21:48. > :21:49.week, we are up against Northampton. We will try to take it into this
:21:50. > :21:52.week. So an even tougher test next,
:21:53. > :21:54.but supporters may linger a little longer on one
:21:55. > :22:02.of the finest performances and results they've ever sedn.
:22:03. > :22:04.Swindon Town produced the performance of the weekdnd
:22:05. > :22:08.They beat Sheffield United 4`2 to move into fourth place,
