:05:39. > :05:43.An inquest's heard that a shmple error may have led to the ddath of a
:05:44. > :05:46.motorcyclist on a railway lhne in Gloucestershire. Paul Martin, who'd
:05:47. > :05:49.been scrambling on bikes with two friends, was hit by a train at the
:05:50. > :05:52.Frampton Mansell level crossing in May. His pregnant wife, Lorna,
:05:53. > :05:54.described him as her "entird everything". The inquest was told
:05:55. > :05:57.that if the men had phoned signallers, they'd would have been
:05:58. > :05:59.warned about the train. The coroner recorded a verdict of acciddntal
:06:00. > :06:02.death. Well, let us remind xou of when it happened. It was Sunday May
:06:03. > :06:04.the 11th when what should have been `
:06:05. > :06:07.pleasurable day turned to tragedy. In court today was the family Paul
:06:08. > :06:10.Martin including his parents and is heavily pregnant wife. At the time,
:06:11. > :06:13.she described Paul as my entire everything and said he was `ssaulted
:06:14. > :06:17.with their son and their chhld to be. In court today, we had ` variety
:06:18. > :06:19.of evidence, written statemdnts from Paul Martin's best friend, ht said
:06:20. > :06:23.they had grown up together `nd could what does not wait get started their
:06:24. > :06:26.right. Other evidence came from another man on the right who said he
:06:27. > :06:29.was happy to go along. Giving evidence in person, John Wilson from
:06:30. > :06:32.British Transport Police sahd he was satisfied the train driver had done
:06:33. > :06:35.everything he could to try `nd avoid the incident. He also said the group
:06:36. > :06:38.made one fatal mistake and that was that they did not phone signallers
:06:39. > :06:41.in Gloucester who would havd alerted them to the fact the train was
:06:42. > :06:44.coming. So the coroner said that Paul Martin had multiple injuries
:06:45. > :06:47.consistent with being hit bx a train and recorded a verdict of accidental
:06:48. > :06:50.A proposal from one of the South West's business leaders for caravans
:06:51. > :06:53.to face a daytime curfew on the roads in the summertime has prompted
:06:54. > :06:56.an angry reaction. John Gregory who runs a major haulage firm, says
:06:57. > :06:59.during July and August caravans should only be allowed to travel
:07:00. > :07:00.between 6pm and 6am. Simon Hall reports.
:07:01. > :07:03.Residents of a street in Brhstol have blocked off their road with
:07:04. > :07:05.wheelie bins and household furniture, to stop the council
:07:06. > :07:08.painting in a new parking zone. The scheme could see households charged
:07:09. > :07:12.up to ?72 a year to park outside their houses. But people on Morgan
:07:13. > :07:15.Street say they didn't ask for it, and are refusing to budge. @ndrew
:07:16. > :07:17.Plant reports. Behind a barricade of bins ` handful
:07:18. > :07:20.of residentsare ready to st`nd their ground. As contractors arrived at
:07:21. > :07:21.Morgan Street in St Paul's this morning,
:07:22. > :07:24.Their plan to paint parking zones here was stopped by a computer on
:07:25. > :07:26.top of a microwave and some hasty homemade signs.
:07:27. > :07:29.Neighbouring streets saw no similar demonstrations of people power.
:07:30. > :07:31.Workmen painted in the zones this morning, which mean people living
:07:32. > :07:34.here buy a permit to park.Something the Morgan Street movement say they
:07:35. > :07:37.can do anyway. It's not the first Parking Zone row
:07:38. > :07:39.in Bristol. The scheme's proved deeply unpopular with some. These
:07:40. > :07:42.protesters drove a tank through the town centre in the summer.
:07:43. > :07:45.But others, of course, are strongly in favour of the new zones. In a
:07:46. > :07:48.statement today the council said: "We respect the right of thd local
:07:49. > :07:54.residents to have their say. We carried out consultation in the area
:07:55. > :07:56.the interests of all those living and working in the area."
:07:57. > :07:58.And they added: "Our contractors are currently
:07:59. > :08:01.continuing work in St Paul's, but will not be working in Morg`n Street
:08:02. > :08:04.today." Which suggests they might try their luck tomorrow.
:08:05. > :08:06.Something tells me they won't be made welcome. But what about
:08:07. > :08:08.tomorrow? No`one thinks the residents can keep
:08:09. > :08:11.this up forever. but life wont be easy for anyone painting thdse roads

:17:48. > :17:51.people on the streets of Kingswood if they think Ed Miliband as a
:17:52. > :17:56.future Prime Minister. They are a little bit in crisis and I do not
:17:57. > :18:01.think Ed Miliband are reallx gets over their point of view very
:18:02. > :18:04.strongly. I personally do not think is the man to lead the Labotr Party
:18:05. > :18:09.and I do not think he is strong enough. I have voted Labour all my
:18:10. > :18:15.life so I do not see why should change now. Those views werd
:18:16. > :18:18.recorded before the party ldader made his speech.

:18:26. > :18:36.It is one of the main functhons of the confidence to send them away
:18:37. > :18:39.with a spring in their step and in the hall they loved it. There were
:18:40. > :18:52.only a few jokes Ed Miliband that he got several standing ovations,
:18:53. > :19:01.especially for the NHS so ldtters `` lets get the view of a young
:19:02. > :19:06.activist. He is the youngest candidate in the country. It was
:19:07. > :19:11.what we needed before the election and I think it was really wdll
:19:12. > :19:18.delivered and I thought it was fantastic. One very happy young man.
:19:19. > :19:22.Mr Miller band also talked `bout devolution. This is very important
:19:23. > :19:27.to us in the West Country in the light of what happened in Scotland.
:19:28. > :19:31.What was your take on that? He wants to make sure that Labour is not seen
:19:32. > :19:40.as an anti`English barking. They will not put forward concrete cup
:19:41. > :19:50.proposals `` concrete proposals that there will be big regions stch as
:19:51. > :19:53.the city of Bristol and Somdrset and Gloucester running their own affairs
:19:54. > :20:00.but that is the kind of thing that is most easily said in opposition
:20:01. > :20:03.and not often said in government. Tomorrow we hope to talk to Mr
:20:04. > :20:13.Miller band but I will say goodbye for now. ``Mr Miliband.

:21:19. > :21:25.collapsed again today. What is new this time? This is a short`term plan
:21:26. > :21:30.costing three quarters of ?0 million of council money. To open up the
:21:31. > :21:44.doors and a few cafes and ghve the place a lick of paint.
:21:45. > :21:47.I asked the council in charge if this w`s a
