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.

The vintage car business th`t's stalling because

Some breaking news. Fire crdws RS gained people in rats at Kingswood

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,

we'll bring them to you. The private companies that run

the food just one star for hygiene. And the Care Quality Commission

But Carilliion says the staffing is appropriate.

But in a statement the company admitted that e`rlier

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

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

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

main story. Avon and Somersdt police say the water has caused a gas main

:12:55.:13:02.

including `` we'll keep you updated. The West Country's MPs will be

:13:03.:13:07.

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.

Maybe amongst this lot the Barbarians might have another

:22:54.:22:56.

So if you know someone like Dionne and think they deserve some

:22:57.:23:04.

recognition, we want to hear from you.

:23:05.:23:07.

You need to fill in a nomin`tion form to tell us all about them,

:23:08.:23:10.

The forms can be found on otr website at bbc.co.uk/unsunghero

:23:11.:23:18.

If you don't have access to the internet then you can rhng 845

:23:23.:23:29.

Nominations close on Monday 20th October,

:23:30.:23:33.

so you have just a couple of weeks to get in touch, and help us find

:23:34.:23:37.

another incredible person m`king a big difference in your colmunity.

:23:38.:23:45.

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.
