:00:11. > :00:12.Welcome to BBC Points West with Alex Lovell and David Garmston.
:00:13. > :00:15.Our main story tonight: The Battle to stay in Britain.
:00:16. > :00:18.A seriously ill grandmother pleads with Number ten to let her live
:00:19. > :00:23.out her life with her family in Bristol.
:00:24. > :00:30.My grandmother is one in a lillion kind of grandmother and we `re
:00:31. > :00:34.hereto played to be able to love and care for her in her time of need.
:00:35. > :00:38.She needs dialysis and her family say she would die,
:00:39. > :00:46.Have a heart - an appeal for foster carers to look after the refugee
:00:47. > :00:49.children from Calais as the first arrive.
:00:50. > :00:52.A river of tears - the launch of the poppy appdal
:00:53. > :00:57.And the fastest milk machine in the west -
:00:58. > :01:11.the latest way of getting your dairy fresh from the cow.
:01:12. > :01:32.Even though a doctor's said she's too ill to fly -
:01:33. > :01:34.the Home Office says Irene has to go home.
:01:35. > :01:58.I am still on dialysis, that will not stop me. I don't like it but I
:01:59. > :02:04.will still do it because I want to be with my family. We would be
:02:05. > :02:10.broken if she was to be put on a plane and sent back to South Africa.
:02:11. > :02:14.So please Theresa May and the government show compassion `nd allow
:02:15. > :02:16.my grandmother to remain in the UK for the last few years of hdr life.
:02:17. > :02:20.They brought more than a 100,00 signatures to Number Ten.
:02:21. > :02:23.But - it was delivered on the day the NHS was criticised.
:02:24. > :02:25.For not meeting a target of recovering ?500 million spent
:02:26. > :02:34.The cost of her dialysis is more than ?30,000 a year.
:02:35. > :02:40.Tell us why you think you should be able to stay in the UK?
:02:41. > :02:42.The family were asked about health costs on the Victoria
:02:43. > :02:52.I classify myself as British, have been your long enough and some of my
:02:53. > :02:57.have paid to the government and I have paid to the government and I
:02:58. > :02:59.have a responsibility to look at -- look after my parents just like
:03:00. > :03:02.This Bristol-based consultant helped analyse NHS spending
:03:03. > :03:06.The annaul estimate is one half a billion pounds of a total
:03:07. > :03:17.It is not a huge number in the context of the whole spending of the
:03:18. > :03:21.NHS but that money does spend a lot of research and treatment.
:03:22. > :03:24.NHS costs for dialysis weren't part of the Home Office
:03:25. > :03:27.Offcials say it was based on immigration rules -
:03:28. > :03:29.and the decision was upheld at an independent tribunal.
:03:30. > :03:32.Another frail South African grandmother - Mytle Cothill -
:03:33. > :03:34.won the right to stay earlier this year.
:03:35. > :03:46.Irene Nel will meet with Hole Office officials in Bristol on Thursday.
:03:47. > :03:48.James Davies is an immigrathon adviser from the charity
:03:49. > :04:03.He joins me now. Thank you for coming on. Do petitions likd this
:04:04. > :04:08.cut any ice from Downing Street Good evening. Yes, I think they do.
:04:09. > :04:13.The government is responsivd to public opinion. The case th`t I
:04:14. > :04:17.dealt with, the Home Office responded to medical evidence that
:04:18. > :04:23.was prevented before the petition was presented to Downing Street The
:04:24. > :04:32.Home Office is reluctant to send out a message, to set a precedent? They
:04:33. > :04:36.do not like presidents and the consequence of that is the content
:04:37. > :04:41.to be light on compassion when you're to be more compassionate
:04:42. > :04:47.This lady needs dialysis and I understand the cost is around
:04:48. > :04:53.?30,000 a year. Can you unddrstand why some taxpayers might thhnk, she
:04:54. > :04:59.is not entitled? Of course H can appreciate that. Certainly we are
:05:00. > :05:06.all concerned about public spending and the NHS but the issue hd was
:05:07. > :05:10.about family. The way the immigration rules are constructed at
:05:11. > :05:16.the moment is that it is allost impossible for families to care and
:05:17. > :05:22.provide for their elderly rdlatives if they are not British or Duropean
:05:23. > :05:26.and that does not seem to bd right. Do you have a legal right in any way
:05:27. > :05:34.to be near your appearance `nd care for them? I think you have ` legal
:05:35. > :05:45.obligation, sorry not a leg`l obligation but a moral obligation
:05:46. > :05:47.rather than a legal right. People will be watching saying that how
:05:48. > :05:48.come people who have raped `nd murdered can stay but an elderly
:05:49. > :05:51.lady in his family has been told she lady in his family has been told she
:05:52. > :05:58.has to go? Yes, certainly. What are your options now if the pethtion
:05:59. > :06:03.feels? Is at the end of the road to? I am not closely acquainted with the
:06:04. > :06:07.case so that I do not know hf there are other options, if that hs more
:06:08. > :06:14.medical information which c`n be provided. I suspect it requhres a
:06:15. > :06:16.change of heart on behalf of the politicians. Good to talk to you.
:06:17. > :06:20.Thank you very much indeed. A crash in Stroud yesterday
:06:21. > :06:22.which killed a 70-year-old cyclist has been referred
:06:23. > :06:24.to the Independent Police Complaints Commission,
:06:25. > :06:26.because the car involved had failed to stop for officers
:06:27. > :06:27.shortly beforehand. Three men arrested on suspicion
:06:28. > :06:30.of causing death by dangerots Gloucestershire Police say they re

:06:49. > :06:52.the area's Clinical Commisshoning Group is among 11 in greatest
:06:53. > :06:55.need of improvement. The CCG says it's working
:06:56. > :07:03.to address the issues raised. It's an issue which affects one
:07:04. > :07:07.in five women and one in ten men. But a West Country campaign to get
:07:08. > :07:11.more protection for victims of stalking today missed out
:07:12. > :07:14.on a hearing in Parliament. The call from Gloucestershire MPs
:07:15. > :07:17.Alex Chalk and Richard Grah`m for the maximum prison sentdnce
:07:18. > :07:19.to be doubled was prompted A local GP, she was stalked
:07:20. > :07:26.for seven years by a former patient. It's very very worrying and anxiety
:07:27. > :07:29.inducing and I don't like to Over 100 incidents of him w`lking

:07:42. > :07:44.day that I was there. Was he trying to get an ide`
:07:45. > :07:48.of my timetable so he could I think it is not knowing what's
:07:49. > :07:54.going on in their mind. The worst thing is you start
:07:55. > :08:02.to imagine the worst. MPs ran out of time today to debate
:08:03. > :08:05.those plans for tougher sentences, which were in a bill put forward
:08:06. > :08:21.by the Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk Are you disappointed they dhd not
:08:22. > :08:26.have time for it today? Yes, I am disappointed. A lot of the time was
:08:27. > :08:31.spent on a good cause, the homelessness reduction bill. A bit
:08:32. > :08:37.disappointing but it has gone off until the 14th of November `nd we
:08:38. > :08:42.just have to keep trying. It is so important, I will not let it rest.
:08:43. > :08:48.What kind of will do you fedl is behind it, in terms of the public
:08:49. > :08:52.and also Parliament? One affects the other. I have had a huge amount of
:08:53. > :08:55.support from across the country for this campaign through
:08:56. > :09:00.Facebook. The extraordinary thing is Facebook. The extraordinary thing is
:09:01. > :09:04.the breadth of society affected by this issue, not just famous people.
:09:05. > :09:08.Parliament tends to reflect that so it is a case of using that `nd
:09:09. > :09:13.explaining to ministers this is important and you must act on that.
:09:14. > :09:18.There is a huge amount of stpport across Parliament for this `s well,
:09:19. > :09:25.we need to translate that into action. How quickly do you think it
:09:26. > :09:31.will translate into action? It takes longer and longer to get thhngs
:09:32. > :09:36.going? Absolutely, changing the law is not an easy thing, it dods not
:09:37. > :09:42.fall into your lap. Ron was not built in a day. I have to kdep
:09:43. > :09:45.plugging away at best, keep having conversations with ministers and
:09:46. > :09:50.lobbying the Secretary of State I think we will get the but wd just
:09:51. > :09:56.have to keep up the fight and it is such an important issue we have to
:09:57. > :10:03.change the law. I know you're focusing on cases like Doctor
:10:04. > :10:05.ineffectiveness of restrainhng ineffectiveness of restrainhng
:10:06. > :10:11.orders, could more be done `t that level as well? I think it is
:10:12. > :10:20.important that this happens. The problem with restraining orders is
:10:21. > :10:23.they do not tend to work. Whth reluctance, I am seeing you have to
:10:24. > :10:27.take people out of circulathon because restraining orders `re not
:10:28. > :10:32.that effective for people who are fixated in that we which is why we
:10:33. > :10:37.are focusing on giving propdr sentencing powers to the cotrt
:10:38. > :10:41.because of some and keeps the teaching restraining orders, the
:10:42. > :10:46.judge has to say, to protect the victims you must go inside. Please
:10:47. > :10:50.stay in touch with us and ldt us know how things progress.

:12:08. > :12:12.We have seen great things from the government

:16:18. > :16:21.only been trading since last Saturday and there has been
:16:22. > :16:25.tremendous local support and people have been coming some distance to
:16:26. > :16:31.buy milk. What is the benefht of your milk rather than the mhlk at
:16:32. > :16:37.the supermarkets? Reproduce it and pasteurise it on site. We do not
:16:38. > :16:44.standardise it so it is as fresh as it can be. It has a great flavour
:16:45. > :16:51.because we pasteurise it slowly How long has it been out of the code
:16:52. > :16:59.before you get it? We start milking in the morning and we pastetrise it
:17:00. > :17:03.in the morning and it is on sale by four o'clock so normally a latter of
:17:04. > :17:09.hours. I presume you still have the same kind of quality check hf we
:17:10. > :17:15.were buying milk the superm`rket? Yes, very much so. We have done
:17:16. > :17:22.extensive testing with the help of the Food Standards Agency and the
:17:23. > :17:29.council. We run all local tdst. Do you offer any other drinks from your
:17:30. > :17:36.machine? At the moment, we have only been going 60s so it is just our
:17:37. > :17:41.fresh milk. It is a great product and local support has been great.
:17:42. > :17:46.This is a good business ide` for you, we hear to help. Thank you very
:17:47. > :17:54.much. Thank you for the pint of milk you give us earlier today. That is
:17:55. > :17:58.E. In these Brexit days who knows what it is. That is a litre. By the

:21:28. > :21:41.We missed out last year by two points and we had to make it up
:21:42. > :21:46.today. We had a bit of an inexperienced team this year but it
