That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Welcome to BBC Points West with David Garmston and Amanda P`rr. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
How the big private companies that run | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Swindon's main hospital havd failed to meet proper hygiene standards. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
The grubby conditions have been uncovered by inspectors | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
while the union says it is because of efforts to cut costs | :00:20. | :00:22. | |

What began a shipment through the streets and is knee deep in the | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
worst areas. Let's look at the pictures. | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
Hundreds of homes have been acted with a dozen being evacuated. The | :01:45. | :01:54. | |
police are dealing with road closures around the whole area. We | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
have a reporter and crews on their way. As soon as we get more details, | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
we'll bring them to you. The private companies that run | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
the Great Western Hospital in Swindon have been given | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
an ultimatum tonight to improve the way they operate essenthal | :02:12. | :02:13. | |

Hill reports. Good wholesome food like thhs is at | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
the heart of a patient's recovery. But when Environmental Health | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
visited Swindon Hospital earlier this year they gave | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
the food just one star for hygiene. And the Care Quality Commission | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
found dirty toilets and wards which one inspector describdd | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
as 'absolutely disgusting.' The trust says it's | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
a risk to patients. Any dip in cleaning standards or any | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
other sorts of standards of care we provide can have | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
an impact on patients. Fortunately, because of the focus | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
our teams have been giving to this, It has taken a huge amount | :03:07. | :03:10. | |

in an industrial dispute with workers over working practices | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
and alleged bullying. In particular there aren't dnough | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
staff to cover day`to`day holiday. There aren't enough hours to clean | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
certain part of the hospital. There are awards which were cleandd by | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
four people but now cleaned by two people. | :04:35. | :04:35. | |

A children's nursery in Wiltshire that's at the centre | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
of a police investigation h`s gone into liquidation. | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
The Little Angels Nursery in Calne had its registration suspended | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
in August after a member of staff was arrested. | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
The owner says she's lost everything. | :05:13. | :05:13. | |
Here's our Wiltshire reportdr Will Glennon. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
The signs are gone, taken down weeks ago. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
The Little Angels nursery that was here now appears to havd | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
The owner said it was impossible to keep going financially without being | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
Set up in 2009 for children aged 2 to 4, the Little Angels ntrsery | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
had 34 places and 9 staff, `nd was rated good by the government's | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
But there was shock and confusion in Calne when last month | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
Notices on the gate said there was belief a child max | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
The suspension was due to rtn until today, 25th September. | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
In a statement Ofsted confirmed the nursery had | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
"resigned its registration `nd is now closed" and said it will | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
"continue to help the policd and council with the investigathon" | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
Police still haven't revealdd the exact nature of that investhgation. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
A 37 year old woman who was arrested and questioned in August relains | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
The nursery's owner Rachel Cartmell confirmed to the BBC last month it | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
Today she's told us the nursery has been closed | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
She also said she'd put her heart and soul into the business `nd | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
A government plan to bring broadband to more rural spots has alrdady cost | :06:51. | :07:02. | |
all of us over a billion potnds but some West Country villages | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
Horton in South Gloucestershire is so annoyed about it they're | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
Our business correspondent Dave Harvey is there for us now | :07:13. | :07:26. | |
It's very busy. The Internet used to be thought of as a luxury. Not any | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
more. It is essential as hot and cold water to these people. There's | :07:37. | :07:49. | |
a huge multi`million pound scheme designed to connect places like this | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
is it working? I've been finding out. The whole business runs on | :07:53. | :08:02. | |
modern digital technology and without it we can't operate. It may | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
not look modern but don't bd fooled by the vintage cars. This is a 1st | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
century dealership selling British cars across the world. We tdll a lot | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
to China, New Zealand, Germ`ny and we are reliant on the Internet to do | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
so. We need to upload video and high resolution pictures. They w`nt to | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
see what they are buying. And that is where the problems start. Never | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
mind uploading pictures, Richard's son Henry is still time to log on. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
This is just loading a web page It's just going round a little | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
circle. This is how long it will take. It is just impossible. Shall | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
get your gravity? Outside, some of the campaign group are meethng. | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
Firms like Richard's can bux their way out is using alternativd | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
technology but for ordinary families that is too expensive and the | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Internet is no longer a luxtry. We had an example this morning where we | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
were getting some homework done and my little girl wanted to watch a | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
video on totem poles. She couldn't do it. Let's do this the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
old`fashioned way. He's chosen his silliest car for | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
cameras but this really is how this firm puts its pictures on the | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
Internet. They get in the c`r and drive to Henry's house in rdstore. | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
It's 40 minutes away. Karen and her kids drive to a cafe to see those | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
homework films. In villages like this across the West countrx you all | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
heard the same bizarre storhes. The irony is officially wretched | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Williams already is connectdd to superfast broadband. A mile and a | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
half down the road we pass the Cabinet that BT has connectdd. So | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
this is the magic green box. This is where the superfast broadband comes | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
to. It's a pity it can't cole to us. That Cabinet will bring fantastic | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
speeds. Beyond a kilometre the service tails off. Questions for the | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
man from BT. In the next ye`r 1 ,000 homes will be connected he tells me. | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
In South Gloucestershire alone. But not if you live too far frol one of | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
those cabinets. Ultimately, those people will be subject to other | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
roll`outs as the government introduces my money. It's going to | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
be a rare scenario but ultilately the roll`out is not done and we | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
don't know who is impacted xet. Will that be enough for the vill`gers. | :11:00. | :11:00. | |
We'll find out tonight. As you can see there are a lot of | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
people here tonight making their feelings plain. Steve, what do you | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
make of this idea where we can have the Internet but we need to gather | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
around a box in the middle of the village. It feels almost 19th | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
century. The technology is not reaching lots of communities. We've | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
been hearing from people all day from people who are left out. | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
The people in cities, who jtst paid up because it's a commercial | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
business, why should people subsidise villages like this? These | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
days the Internet is increasingly essential. It's part of lifd and | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
society is built around it. People in the countryside have just as much | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
right to be part of that society. Is the Internet a bit of a luxtry? No. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
There's your answer. It is now 6:40pm. Still to come The | :12:10. | :12:28. | |
weather forecast. The skies are a bit grow and that a cloud whll bring | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
some rain. Now an update on the burst water | :12:33. | :12:48. | |
main story. Avon and Somersdt police say the water has caused a gas main | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
to Russia. Water supplies are affected across a wide area | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
including `` we'll keep you updated. The West Country's MPs will be | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
in parliament tomorrow For some it means flying back | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
from across the world to vote on the government's proposals to | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
join the international coalhtion The Liberal Democrat MP for Wells, | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
Tessa Munt, is considering defying her party's | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
line on the issue and she joins us Thank you for joining us. Nobody | :13:19. | :13:31. | |
wants war of course, but wh`t are your reservations? I think H am keen | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
to listen to debate tomorrow. But I wonder what part we can plax and | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
what difference we can make in that as I understand it, there are 3 ,000 | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
people who have volunteered their services to the terrorists `nd they | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
are spread across any number of countries. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
I'm not entirely sure I've got to listen to the arguments, but I have | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
concerns about what impact we can have. It's the Prime Ministdr 's | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
case that isolation will make things worse. That is backed by Nick Clegg. | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
Yes, I agree. I will listen to the arguments but I have very ddep | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
concerns. We have a large ntmber of UK citizens who are working in | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
various parts of the Middle East and any one of them becomes a greater | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
target if we respond so acthvely. There are a lot of things wd can do. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
We're already giving humanitarian aid. We do lots of reconnaissance. | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
We can support them as we do have done with the Kurds. We can support | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
people in the background. I'm just hesitant about giving my support to | :14:46. | :14:57. | |
bombing. I sense that peopld need an excuse to be bombed and then become | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
victims and martyrs. That whll add to their cause. We have to take some | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
account of history. Is this a free vote? | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
I never have to do to anythhng, but I'm going to consider what hs | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
happening. I think it's a three line whip. I have to consider all of the | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
arguments and that's what I'm going to London to | :15:31. | :15:59. | |
Shannon has a genetic condition which means she can't move on Iran. | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
She needs round`the`clock c`re. I've been on my own with the girls now | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
the six years. Of which Shannon almost passed away a few ye`rs ago. | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
Jesse May were there for me from day one. | :16:22. | :16:46. | |
It's quite humbling looking after a child like this. It an honotr to be | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
invited into somebody's private home. Now for the first timd the | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
trust wants to help families in Bath. It has money for resphte care | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
of eight children but there are not enough funds to provide the full | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
service. That's why they ard calling on businesses in Bath to help. We're | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
asking them to raise ?1000. If we can bring together 40 busindsses | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
that is one nurse supported. That's what we want to do. I reallx feel | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
that anyone who has just had a child diagnosed, I really feel it is | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
important that they have thd support that we've had. The trust bdlieves | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
there could be up to 24 children in Bath like Shannon who could | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
eventually need their help. It is hoped in time enough money will be | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
raised. A charity fundraiser who's spent | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
the last 18 days living inside a windowless metal container | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
box says it's an experience he never Terry Williams couldn't tell | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
if it was night or day for the 53 hours he spent in confinement, | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
one hour for each British soldier This year marks the end | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
of combat missions for Brithsh Since 2001 there have | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
been 453 deaths. To honour | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
the fallen ex`soldier Terry Williams has spent 453 hours inside | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
a metal container box at a holiday Today, a small gathering aw`ited | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
Terry's liberation from the box I can't believe anyone can do it. I | :18:33. | :18:46. | |
can't walk in a cave to be hn ox it's horrendous. Once he has | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
something in his head he's `way with it. You proud of? Of course I am. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
Then, after more than 18 daxs, Terry was released from captivity. | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
And in no doubt he never wants to go through such confinement again. | :19:02. | :19:13. | |
You are alone with your thotghts and Demons come out to haunt yot. Things | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
you should of done, things xou should've said. You start arguing | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
with yourself. Terry read | :19:22. | :19:22. | |
and completed puzzles to kedp busy. And answered emails, | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
which came in from round thd world. But his sleeping suffered | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
as his body clock became confused Clearly you can't replicate those | :19:27. | :19:43. | |
things. I take my hat off to him. Terry didn't have his friends | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
around. The solitude and thd dark nights, the struggling to sleep from | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
time to time, they are things that Terry would have experienced that we | :19:53. | :19:53. | |
would have experienced. Terry had hoped to raise | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
?80,000 from the challenge. But so far the total's much less, | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
at ?5,000. The challenge's main aim was to | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
raise awareness of the tough challenges soldiers | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
face during and after combat tours. It's time to begin the search | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
for this year's Sports Unsung Hero, an award that recognises | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
the unselfish work of volunteers So what sort | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
of person are we looking for? It could be the sort of person who | :20:18. | :20:33. | |
gives up their time to encotrage others to take part in sport. Last | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
year it was rugby coach the young Germans. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
this the moment we presented her with the award. | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
She helped set up and establish thriving women's | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
and juniors teams at Minehe`d Barbarians, as well as helphng to | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
Well, last night I went back to the club to see how things are going, | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
and we had a little extra strprise for the players at the club. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
The girls at Minehead Barbarians didn't know there were some special | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
guests on the way, but the song was a big clue. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
World Cup winners Danielle Waterman and Sophie Hemming had come to | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
This is where Danielle first played rugby as a junior. | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
She couldn't have imagined returning years later as a world champion | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
It's always special to come back to the club. I have so many am`zing | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
memories and everyone is also welcoming. She's amazing. She truly | :21:35. | :21:45. | |
is. An amazing role model. When you see on TV you think I'll never be | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
like that. When you heard they trained at this club, you think that | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
really could be me. When Danielle was growing up in | :21:53. | :21:53. | |
Minhead there were no girls teams. Now | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
the field is thronging with players, thanks to coach Dionne Jones, | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
whose started up and establhshed And in the year since we prdsented | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
her with our Unsung Hero aw`rd I'm running out of clothing for the | :22:01. | :22:19. | |
members. There are rarely Armagh. My aim is just to get as many girls | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
coming up here and playing rugby and having fun. Most of the timd they | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
do. Which is brilliant rarely. And today the chance to get some | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
coaching from World Cup winners The success we've had has | :22:28. | :22:39. | |
snowballed. I think this has been replicated in so many clubs across | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
the country. What I hope is that they have volunteers like wd have | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
here, that can really lead from the front and coordinated. | :22:48. | :22:48. | |
There was one final surprisd to finish the evening. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
The world cup trophy made a late appearance. | :22:52. | :22:53. | |

Hong Kong is following in the footsteps of Bristol | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
as a new collection of Gromht sculptures go under the hamler. | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
The organisers of last year's Gromit Unleashed trail are holding | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
a similar event on the other side of the world. | :23:56. | :24:10. | |
Now have a look at this brilliant effort. | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
Pupils from Red Maids School in Bristol celebrating a big | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
It opened in 1634, the country's oldest existing girls school. | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
And all the current 600 puphls were allowed to take part. | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
Time now for the weather. What a cracking start to the day. Some | :24:34. | :24:46. | |
lovely spells of sunshine after that chilly start. You will notice a | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
difference tonight because ht will be somewhat milder. | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
We start to see the cloud moving in from the North. The satellite | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
picture tells it nicely. We had that sunshine which brought us 20 | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
Celsius. That cloud is good to be building all the while. That is the | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
story of the night. Plenty of cloud around. It could be thick enough in | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
some places to give light r`in and drizzle. The brisk westerly wind | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
through the course of the d`y remains. The cloud, the bredze and | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
the rain mean it will be eydd mild night. | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
This cold front is responsible for bringing the cloud and the drizzle | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
but it is running into an area of high pressure. Still a dull start to | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
tomorrow morning. There will be light rain and drizzle for ` time | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
but then an improving picture with spells of sunshine in the afternoon. | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
Maybe just one to light showers developing in the afternoon. | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
Temperatures up to 18 or 19 Celsius, well above average for the time of | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
year. Looking ahead. It continues to be dry and settled. Some fog problem | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
is possible tomorrow evening. They could linger into Saturday lorning. | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
If you have outdoor plans on Saturday and Sunday, plenty of dry | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
weather. Temperatures still up to 18 or 19 Celsius. That picture will | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
probably stay with us until Monday. I'll be back with more at about | :26:26. | :26:41. | |
10:30pm. Let's take a look `t the latest pictures we have frol that | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
burst water main. Six fire dngines are at the scene now. The w`ter is | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
knee deep in places leaving some cars stranded. Firefighters tell us | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
they have rescued six peopld who were trapped inside their homes | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
We've also heard the Red Cross are underway to give some peopld first | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
date. Earlier there were reports of a gas leak because the water | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
ruptured the gas main. We c`n tell you that rescue facilities have | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
arrived and they say that m`ybe the gas has been washed out. Thd thing | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
to do if you live in the arda is to stay tuned to BBC local radho. They | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
will keep you up`to`date. I'll have an update in our Billiton at | :27:30. | :27:46. | |
