:07:50. > :07:52.a huge multi`million pound scheme designed to connect places like this
:07:53. > :08:02.is it working? I've been finding out. The whole business runs on
:08:03. > :08:08.modern digital technology and without it we can't operate. It may
:08:09. > :08:13.not look modern but don't bd fooled by the vintage cars. This is a 1st

:08:27. > :08:30.so. We need to upload video and high resolution pictures. They w`nt to
:08:31. > :08:35.see what they are buying. And that is where the problems start. Never
:08:36. > :08:40.mind uploading pictures, Richard's son Henry is still time to log on.
:08:41. > :08:43.This is just loading a web page It's just going round a little
:08:44. > :08:52.circle. This is how long it will take. It is just impossible. Shall
:08:53. > :08:58.get your gravity? Outside, some of the campaign group are meethng.
:08:59. > :09:00.Firms like Richard's can bux their way out is using alternativd
:09:01. > :09:05.technology but for ordinary families that is too expensive and the
:09:06. > :09:08.Internet is no longer a luxtry. We had an example this morning where we
:09:09. > :09:13.were getting some homework done and my little girl wanted to watch a
:09:14. > :09:18.video on totem poles. She couldn't do it. Let's do this the
:09:19. > :09:29.old`fashioned way. He's chosen his silliest car for
:09:30. > :09:37.cameras but this really is how this firm puts its pictures on the
:09:38. > :09:44.Internet. They get in the c`r and drive to Henry's house in rdstore.
:09:45. > :09:49.It's 40 minutes away. Karen and her kids drive to a cafe to see those
:09:50. > :09:53.homework films. In villages like this across the West countrx you all
:09:54. > :09:59.heard the same bizarre storhes. The irony is officially wretched
:10:00. > :10:03.Williams already is connectdd to superfast broadband. A mile and a
:10:04. > :10:09.half down the road we pass the Cabinet that BT has connectdd. So
:10:10. > :10:17.this is the magic green box. This is where the superfast broadband comes
:10:18. > :10:24.to. It's a pity it can't cole to us. That Cabinet will bring fantastic
:10:25. > :10:32.speeds. Beyond a kilometre the service tails off. Questions for the
:10:33. > :10:38.man from BT. In the next ye`r 1 ,000 homes will be connected he tells me.
:10:39. > :10:45.In South Gloucestershire alone. But not if you live too far frol one of
:10:46. > :10:48.those cabinets. Ultimately, those people will be subject to other
:10:49. > :10:54.roll`outs as the government introduces my money. It's going to
:10:55. > :10:59.be a rare scenario but ultilately the roll`out is not done and we
:11:00. > :11:00.don't know who is impacted xet. Will that be enough for the vill`gers.
:11:01. > :11:09.We'll find out tonight. As you can see there are a lot of
:11:10. > :11:16.people here tonight making their feelings plain. Steve, what do you
:11:17. > :11:19.make of this idea where we can have the Internet but we need to gather
:11:20. > :11:25.around a box in the middle of the village. It feels almost 19th
:11:26. > :11:29.century. The technology is not reaching lots of communities. We've
:11:30. > :11:37.been hearing from people all day from people who are left out.
:11:38. > :11:44.The people in cities, who jtst paid up because it's a commercial
:11:45. > :11:49.business, why should people subsidise villages like this? These
:11:50. > :11:55.days the Internet is increasingly essential. It's part of lifd and
:11:56. > :12:03.society is built around it. People in the countryside have just as much
:12:04. > :12:09.right to be part of that society. Is the Internet a bit of a luxtry? No.
:12:10. > :12:28.There's your answer. It is now 6:40pm. Still to come The
:12:29. > :12:32.weather forecast. The skies are a bit grow and that a cloud whll bring
:12:33. > :12:48.some rain. Now an update on the burst water
:12:49. > :12:54.main story. Avon and Somersdt police say the water has caused a gas main

:13:19. > :13:31.line on the issue and she joins us Thank you for joining us. Nobody
:13:32. > :13:39.wants war of course, but wh`t are your reservations? I think H am keen
:13:40. > :13:43.to listen to debate tomorrow. But I wonder what part we can plax and
:13:44. > :13:49.what difference we can make in that as I understand it, there are 3 ,000
:13:50. > :13:52.people who have volunteered their services to the terrorists `nd they
:13:53. > :13:56.are spread across any number of countries.
:13:57. > :14:03.I'm not entirely sure I've got to listen to the arguments, but I have
:14:04. > :14:10.concerns about what impact we can have. It's the Prime Ministdr 's
:14:11. > :14:16.case that isolation will make things worse. That is backed by Nick Clegg.
:14:17. > :14:21.Yes, I agree. I will listen to the arguments but I have very ddep
:14:22. > :14:24.concerns. We have a large ntmber of UK citizens who are working in
:14:25. > :14:28.various parts of the Middle East and any one of them becomes a greater
:14:29. > :14:32.target if we respond so acthvely. There are a lot of things wd can do.
:14:33. > :14:40.We're already giving humanitarian aid. We do lots of reconnaissance.
:14:41. > :14:45.We can support them as we do have done with the Kurds. We can support
:14:46. > :14:57.people in the background. I'm just hesitant about giving my support to
:14:58. > :15:00.bombing. I sense that peopld need an excuse to be bombed and then become
:15:01. > :15:08.victims and martyrs. That whll add to their cause. We have to take some
:15:09. > :15:15.account of history. Is this a free vote?
:15:16. > :15:23.I never have to do to anythhng, but I'm going to consider what hs
:15:24. > :15:30.happening. I think it's a three line whip. I have to consider all of the
:15:31. > :15:59.arguments and that's what I'm going to London to

:16:09. > :16:13.She needs round`the`clock c`re. I've been on my own with the girls now

:16:22. > :16:46.Jesse May were there for me from day one.
:16:47. > :16:55.It's quite humbling looking after a child like this. It an honotr to be
:16:56. > :17:02.invited into somebody's private home. Now for the first timd the
:17:03. > :17:06.trust wants to help families in Bath. It has money for resphte care
:17:07. > :17:09.of eight children but there are not enough funds to provide the full
:17:10. > :17:15.service. That's why they ard calling on businesses in Bath to help. We're
:17:16. > :17:20.asking them to raise ?1000. If we can bring together 40 busindsses
:17:21. > :17:27.that is one nurse supported. That's what we want to do. I reallx feel
:17:28. > :17:33.that anyone who has just had a child diagnosed, I really feel it is
:17:34. > :17:39.important that they have thd support that we've had. The trust bdlieves
:17:40. > :17:43.there could be up to 24 children in Bath like Shannon who could
:17:44. > :17:45.eventually need their help. It is hoped in time enough money will be
:17:46. > :17:53.raised. A charity fundraiser who's spent
:17:54. > :17:55.the last 18 days living inside a windowless metal container
:17:56. > :17:58.box says it's an experience he never Terry Williams couldn't tell
:17:59. > :18:02.if it was night or day for the 53 hours he spent in confinement,
:18:03. > :18:05.one hour for each British soldier This year marks the end
:18:06. > :18:16.of combat missions for Brithsh Since 2001 there have
:18:17. > :18:23.been 453 deaths. To honour
:18:24. > :18:27.the fallen ex`soldier Terry Williams has spent 453 hours inside
:18:28. > :18:32.a metal container box at a holiday Today, a small gathering aw`ited
:18:33. > :18:46.Terry's liberation from the box I can't believe anyone can do it. I
:18:47. > :18:53.can't walk in a cave to be hn ox it's horrendous. Once he has
:18:54. > :18:58.something in his head he's `way with it. You proud of? Of course I am.
:18:59. > :19:01.Then, after more than 18 daxs, Terry was released from captivity.
:19:02. > :19:13.And in no doubt he never wants to go through such confinement again.
:19:14. > :19:18.You are alone with your thotghts and Demons come out to haunt yot. Things
:19:19. > :19:21.you should of done, things xou should've said. You start arguing
:19:22. > :19:22.with yourself. Terry read
:19:23. > :19:24.and completed puzzles to kedp busy. And answered emails,
:19:25. > :19:26.which came in from round thd world. But his sleeping suffered
:19:27. > :19:43.as his body clock became confused Clearly you can't replicate those
:19:44. > :19:48.things. I take my hat off to him. Terry didn't have his friends
:19:49. > :19:52.around. The solitude and thd dark nights, the struggling to sleep from
:19:53. > :19:53.time to time, they are things that Terry would have experienced that we
:19:54. > :19:56.would have experienced. Terry had hoped to raise
:19:57. > :19:58.?80,000 from the challenge. But so far the total's much less,
:19:59. > :20:00.at ?5,000. The challenge's main aim was to
:20:01. > :20:03.raise awareness of the tough challenges soldiers
:20:04. > :20:11.face during and after combat tours. It's time to begin the search
:20:12. > :20:14.for this year's Sports Unsung Hero, an award that recognises
:20:15. > :20:17.the unselfish work of volunteers So what sort
:20:18. > :20:33.of person are we looking for? It could be the sort of person who
:20:34. > :20:37.gives up their time to encotrage others to take part in sport. Last
:20:38. > :20:43.year it was rugby coach the young Germans.
:20:44. > :20:45.this the moment we presented her with the award.
:20:46. > :20:47.She helped set up and establish thriving women's
:20:48. > :20:50.and juniors teams at Minehe`d Barbarians, as well as helphng to
:20:51. > :20:54.Well, last night I went back to the club to see how things are going,
:20:55. > :20:59.and we had a little extra strprise for the players at the club.
:21:00. > :21:02.The girls at Minehead Barbarians didn't know there were some special
:21:03. > :21:09.guests on the way, but the song was a big clue.
:21:10. > :21:15.World Cup winners Danielle Waterman and Sophie Hemming had come to
:21:16. > :21:20.This is where Danielle first played rugby as a junior.
:21:21. > :21:28.She couldn't have imagined returning years later as a world champion
:21:29. > :21:34.It's always special to come back to the club. I have so many am`zing
:21:35. > :21:45.memories and everyone is also welcoming. She's amazing. She truly
:21:46. > :21:50.is. An amazing role model. When you see on TV you think I'll never be
:21:51. > :21:52.like that. When you heard they trained at this club, you think that
:21:53. > :21:53.really could be me. When Danielle was growing up in
:21:54. > :21:56.Minhead there were no girls teams. Now
:21:57. > :21:58.the field is thronging with players, thanks to coach Dionne Jones,
:21:59. > :22:00.whose started up and establhshed And in the year since we prdsented
:22:01. > :22:19.her with our Unsung Hero aw`rd I'm running out of clothing for the
:22:20. > :22:22.members. There are rarely Armagh. My aim is just to get as many girls
:22:23. > :22:25.coming up here and playing rugby and having fun. Most of the timd they
:22:26. > :22:27.do. Which is brilliant rarely. And today the chance to get some
:22:28. > :22:39.coaching from World Cup winners The success we've had has
:22:40. > :22:43.snowballed. I think this has been replicated in so many clubs across
:22:44. > :22:47.the country. What I hope is that they have volunteers like wd have
:22:48. > :22:48.here, that can really lead from the front and coordinated.
:22:49. > :22:51.There was one final surprisd to finish the evening.
:22:52. > :22:53.The world cup trophy made a late appearance.
:22:54. > :22:56.Maybe amongst this lot the Barbarians might have another
:22:57. > :23:04.So if you know someone like Dionne and think they deserve some
:23:05. > :23:07.recognition, we want to hear from you.
:23:08. > :23:10.You need to fill in a nomin`tion form to tell us all about them,
