:00:11. > :00:16.I think it is really important because it stops it then
:00:17. > :00:22.It is part of a decent human being about being tested, isn't it?
:00:23. > :00:23.Especially if you are starting a new relationship
:00:24. > :00:34.We'll be asking who should pay for HIV tests.

:01:02. > :01:05.There's a warning that people living in Bristol are at more risk
:01:06. > :01:07.of contracting HIV because not enough is being done
:01:08. > :01:13.Rates of infection in the city are on the increase and some
:01:14. > :01:16.organisations say anyone being admitted to hospital
:01:17. > :01:19.or registering with a GP should be offered a test.
:01:20. > :01:22.The City Council, in charge of public health,
:01:23. > :01:24.is now looking into it, as our Health Correspondent
:01:25. > :01:29.There is now a danger that has become a threat to us all.
:01:30. > :01:32.It's 30 years ago since the nation was shocked by this
:01:33. > :01:37.And its impact was immediate, with people changing
:01:38. > :01:44.If you ignore Aids, it could be the death of you.
:01:45. > :01:47.But in cities like Bristol, the message is now being forgotten.
:01:48. > :01:51.Latest figures show that out of every 1,000 people here,
:01:52. > :01:57.there are now more than two living with HIV.
:01:58. > :02:00.Two in every 1,000 is the limit where the Government's regulator
:02:01. > :02:05.Nice say we ought to be offering everyone admitted to hospital an HIV
:02:06. > :02:10.test, as well as everyone registering with their GP.
:02:11. > :02:14.But at the moment, this is simply not happening.
:02:15. > :02:17.And that could put people at risk of HIV infection.
:02:18. > :02:21.Becky was diagnosed with HIV four years ago.
:02:22. > :02:25.Her former partner Simon James is now serving a five-year prison
:02:26. > :02:28.sentence for deliberately infecting her and another woman.
:02:29. > :02:31.I got an e-mail from an ex-girlfriend of his about six
:02:32. > :02:33.months into the relationship, saying he was HIV positive but
:02:34. > :02:39.Had he been taking them, you would be fine now?
:02:40. > :02:45.Really sad, because it was unnecessary.
:02:46. > :02:51.I know that people's lives change, but there
:02:52. > :03:02.Becky is living a very healthy life because she is on medication.
:03:03. > :03:05.That's why its so crucial that patients with HIV are diagnosed.
:03:06. > :03:08.But in Bristol more than 40% of new cases are late diagnosis.
:03:09. > :03:15.Well, the City Council is about to run a pilot offering HIV
:03:16. > :03:19.tests to everyone joining six GP surgeries in Bristol, but they won't
:03:20. > :03:27.There genuinely needs to be a robust assessment of the cost and that's
:03:28. > :03:33.We are negotiating with the GPs around cost and with our NHS
:03:34. > :03:39.It's estimated every patient with a late diagnosis of HIV
:03:40. > :03:46.As the arguments continue over who should pay for testing,
:03:47. > :03:50.it's feared more and more patients are being infected.
:03:51. > :03:53.Matthew Hill, BBC Points West, Bristol.
:03:54. > :03:56.We're joined now from our Edinburgh studios by
:03:57. > :03:57.Professor Claudia Estcourt from the British Association
:03:58. > :04:04.Firstly who exactly is responsible for funding theses test?
:04:05. > :04:19.This is a complex area but in the last reorganisation of the NHS it
:04:20. > :04:23.was made clear that HIV prevention sits with local authorities in
:04:24. > :04:28.England and care for people who are HIV positive sits within the NHS so
:04:29. > :04:32.testing is in a no man's land in the middle and you can see when
:04:33. > :04:34.resources are in short supply it can be difficult to persuade one
:04:35. > :04:38.organisation or another that they organisation or another that they
:04:39. > :04:43.are responsible for funding. When you have this no man's land,
:04:44. > :04:47.problems like this are arise. Yes, this lack of clarity is causing the
:04:48. > :04:54.problem. Should people be better educated now? I think in the context
:04:55. > :04:56.of what you have heard in the interviews, there has never been a
:04:57. > :05:04.more optimistic time for the health of April with HIV -- people with
:05:05. > :05:08.HIV. If we diagnose people are late, they can have a great quality of
:05:09. > :05:12.life and are pretty much a normal life expectancy and they are
:05:13. > :05:18.unlikely to pass on the infection. We need to prioritise testing in
:05:19. > :05:24.ways that are underpinned by robust evidence such as the two parent 1000
:05:25. > :05:29.evidence upon which national guidelines are made. Regardless of
:05:30. > :05:31.where it is in the UK, the issue is looking at the level of infection in
:05:32. > :05:37.the local pollution and following the local pollution and following
:05:38. > :05:45.those guidelines. It seems -- population. It seems it is almost
:05:46. > :05:50.going backwards. Do you think there is a level of ignorance about HIV
:05:51. > :05:55.now? I think it has fallen off the agenda of people and that may be a
:05:56. > :05:58.success story because people are so well with HIV but in other respects
:05:59. > :06:06.people are forgetting about testing and that is incredibly sad. The
:06:07. > :06:14.outcomes are so good and people can expect a fantastic quality of life.
:06:15. > :06:19.The Terrance Higgins Trust has done some research and found that many
:06:20. > :06:26.children are not taught about HIV. It is a terrible shame in terms of
:06:27. > :06:28.the school curriculum and in terms of health and relationships and
:06:29. > :06:32.equipping young people for the choices they make in later life.
:06:33. > :06:37.Ensuring people are informed with the facts, they know where to access
:06:38. > :06:44.testing and they know the outcomes are really very good, this will help
:06:45. > :06:52.to the stigma to is -- help to take away the stigma. If people are
:06:53. > :06:57.tested early they can see health benefits. And the cost of care in
:06:58. > :07:05.the future will be dramatically less than if they are tested very late.
:07:06. > :07:06.It doesn't take very many people to be diagnosed for the testing to be
:07:07. > :07:08.cost effective. There was a dramatic twist
:07:09. > :07:10.today at the inquest into the death of 23-year-old
:07:11. > :07:14.Josh Clayton from Taunton. The court heard the bar manager had
:07:15. > :07:17.been in an argument with a group of Polish workers at a party
:07:18. > :07:20.the night he went missing His body was discovered
:07:21. > :07:25.eight days later. The jury was sent home early today
:07:26. > :07:28.in order for the legal teams A retired accountant
:07:29. > :07:33.from Cheltenham, who retrained as a Swedish masseur,
:07:34. > :07:36.has been jailed for 15 months for sexually assaulting six
:07:37. > :07:39.of his female clients. Malcom Baker was told he had
:07:40. > :07:41.completely abused the trust of people who had gone to him
:07:42. > :07:44.for a massage by touching intimate Here's Gloucestershire
:07:45. > :07:53.Reporter Steve Knibbs. He got me to lie on my back
:07:54. > :07:57.and he proceeded to massage my inner thighs, and his hands
:07:58. > :07:59.were going quite high up my inner thigh, to the point
:08:00. > :08:01.where his fingertips were touching my pubic
:08:02. > :08:03.bone at points. The oil from his hands actually
:08:04. > :08:05.went on my underwear, so that was obviously evidence that
:08:06. > :08:08.I gave to the police. And again I thought, "Is he really
:08:09. > :08:11.doing this, or is he not?" It was very subtle at points,
:08:12. > :08:16.very clever and crafty, if you like. Baker, who is married,
:08:17. > :08:18.trained in massage after he retired and set up a treatment room
:08:19. > :08:21.at home in Cheltenham. Shortly afterwards, he taught
:08:22. > :08:23.himself full body massage from the Internet and,
:08:24. > :08:26.over a period of months, took advantage of being alone
:08:27. > :08:30.with some of his female clients. When he was doing my stomach,
:08:31. > :08:33.he was sweating profusely. He had to keep taking
:08:34. > :08:39.the towel to mop his brow, Malcolm Baker has completely
:08:40. > :08:42.disregarded his teachings and abused Baker had trained professionally
:08:43. > :08:48.at Gloucestershire College, trained in strict guidelines
:08:49. > :08:50.of where you can and The rules are that you avoid
:08:51. > :08:57.the femoral triangle, which is from the abdomen right
:08:58. > :09:01.the way down to the mid-inner thigh, and you ensure that you always
:09:02. > :09:05.maintain your modesty, through correct towel
:09:06. > :09:08.placement at all times. I was afraid to be assertive
:09:09. > :09:12.because I knew the door was locked and I wondered what he might do
:09:13. > :09:16.if he picked up on the fact that I know what he was doing was wrong,
:09:17. > :09:20.so I went into survival instinct, It was Becky who first
:09:21. > :09:23.went to the police. When officers then contacted
:09:24. > :09:25.Baker's female clients, He was found guilty at trial
:09:26. > :09:29.of sexually assaulting They were questioning their own
:09:30. > :09:34.judgment, or they felt like they were embarrassed,
:09:35. > :09:38.they felt like they might be judged But obviously we want people
:09:39. > :09:45.to understand that we will take this seriously and we will be sensitive
:09:46. > :09:48.to the victims and we On his website, Malcolm Baker said
:09:49. > :09:51.that he would treat his clients The judge told him today that
:09:52. > :09:58.what he did was a considerable breach of trust for his
:09:59. > :10:01.own sexual gratification. Malcom Baker was convicted
:10:02. > :10:03.at the end of a trial. He denied all the offences,
:10:04. > :10:06.saying that if he had touched his clients sexually,
:10:07. > :10:09.then it was by accident. But he was jailed today for 15
:10:10. > :10:12.months and ordered to pay each Steve Knibbs, BBC Points West
:10:13. > :10:26.at Gloucester Crown Court. It's Seb and Alex with you tonight
:10:27. > :10:30.and it's nice to have you with us Yes, we've got lots more
:10:31. > :10:33.still to bring you before The hole in one flight of stairs,
:10:34. > :10:37.one snooker table and eight pool tables that's been seen by more

:10:50. > :10:53.has a high chance of being wet and a lower chance of being white. A
:10:54. > :10:58.consecrated forecast at the end of the programme. Trickier than that
:10:59. > :11:02.trick shot! A Wiltshire school club has been
:11:03. > :11:04.used to try to convince Parliament of the best way
:11:05. > :11:06.to get children active. North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson
:11:07. > :11:09.has tabled a debate on how to spend He thinks the approach used by one
:11:10. > :11:13.Swindon after-school sports camp Here's our Wiltshire
:11:14. > :11:24.reporter Will Glennon. The skies may be grey,
:11:25. > :11:27.it may be cold and wet, but these children in Swindon
:11:28. > :11:29.are getting active and having fun. They're at a Draycott Sports Camp
:11:30. > :11:32.at Oakhurst Primary School. It's an after-hours club and helps
:11:33. > :11:35.to target the children who aren't I enjoy it because we get to go out
:11:36. > :11:45.and get fit and enjoy some new sports I would have never
:11:46. > :11:47.heard of before. Children, particularly
:11:48. > :11:49.at primary level even, are going home and they can't wait
:11:50. > :11:52.to get on their iPads Although I do believe there should
:11:53. > :11:55.be a balance, you know, I love the thought of children
:11:56. > :11:58.choosing to play sport and choosing to be active,
:11:59. > :12:00.running around, making friends, and I think we've tried to really
:12:01. > :12:03.encourage that fun and enjoyment Figures from the Department
:12:04. > :12:09.of Health say three out of five children aren't taking part
:12:10. > :12:11.in any activity clubs. That's what the government
:12:12. > :12:13.wants to address. It's hoping to use money
:12:14. > :12:15.from the new sugar tax, which will be introduced next year,
:12:16. > :12:22.to help fund more clubs. I love the idea of 100 sports camps
:12:23. > :12:25.going on round the country, and as many sporting
:12:26. > :12:29.clubs as possible. You know, we do ten,
:12:30. > :12:32.11, 12 clubs a week. I think it is a great
:12:33. > :12:38.way to spend the money. Today MPs have been discussing how
:12:39. > :12:41.best to use that money. This club is being held up
:12:42. > :12:46.as an example where it is working. And they want many
:12:47. > :12:48.more just like it. Will Glennon, BBC
:12:49. > :12:54.Points West, Swindon. Well, I'm joined now
:12:55. > :13:12.from Westminster by the MP It was a great debate. It secured
:13:13. > :13:16.cross-party support. I was looking to build on the inspirational work
:13:17. > :13:24.that the Draycott sports camp has done. 200 children over the holidays
:13:25. > :13:29.and slightly more girls than boys. This is so important. One in three
:13:30. > :13:33.primary schoolchildren will leave their skill either obese or
:13:34. > :13:39.overweight. It is a real problem that in adult life costs the NHS ?6
:13:40. > :13:45.billion per year. I want to see Draycott sports camps in all
:13:46. > :13:51.schools, all communities, so young people have the opportunity to be
:13:52. > :13:55.active in evenings and weekends, and I also pushed for free use of school
:13:56. > :13:58.facilities for any voluntary groups who want to put on sports
:13:59. > :14:00.activities. When George Osbourne introduced
:14:01. > :14:03.the sugar tax he said the money will be spent on increasing
:14:04. > :14:19.the funding for sport in primary It is looking at the details. I am
:14:20. > :14:25.broadly neutral on the principle of the sugar tax but if we are going to
:14:26. > :14:26.do that and it raises ?520 million then let's spend it the right way.
:14:27. > :14:32.The important bit is to have regular The important bit is to have regular
:14:33. > :14:35.and sustainable activities. In Draycott sports camps, the kids love
:14:36. > :14:40.it and they are active and it is regular and it will keep going into
:14:41. > :14:43.the future and we just need to encourage more PE teachers to step
:14:44. > :14:46.forward and set up their own and we can create more opportunities to
:14:47. > :14:51.build on the Olympic legacy. They say, "Build it and they will
:14:52. > :15:00.come," but will they? You are competing with interesting
:15:01. > :15:08.games children are playing at home so how do you compete with that? As
:15:09. > :15:14.you saw in the video, it is making it for children. Yes we are kind of
:15:15. > :15:18.eating -- competing with computer games and parents are more safety
:15:19. > :15:23.conscious but it is making it enjoyable, and the strength of the
:15:24. > :15:37.Draycott sports camps is making everyone included and people
:15:38. > :15:41.enjoying it. And I'd like to allow local community people and parents
:15:42. > :15:46.to use school facilities for free. I remember of seeing school facilities
:15:47. > :15:48.locked away. Let's get these things in use because the taxpayer has
:15:49. > :15:54.already paid for them. Now, after the indulgence
:15:55. > :15:56.of the festive period, you may want to take a leaf out
:15:57. > :15:59.of Mimi's book. Mimi Vallas recently decided
:16:00. > :16:02.it was time to lose a bit of weight She goes twice a week and is already
:16:03. > :16:06.dropping the pounds. Well, at 94, she's the oldest
:16:07. > :16:10.gym bunny in town. Mimi Vallas is the very
:16:11. > :16:24.definition of a gym bunny. This 94-year-old is
:16:25. > :16:30.on a flab-fighting mission. Amazing, isn't it?
:16:31. > :16:37.Don't ask me how long I've Mimi pushes through the pain
:16:38. > :16:45.threshold with laughter, Mimi was born into a family of 11
:16:46. > :16:52.children in South Wales in a house Plenty of water here though,
:16:53. > :16:58.although Mimi does like to balance her health drive
:16:59. > :17:02.with her other favourite drink. I've asked her to put
:17:03. > :17:05.a gin and tonic in there She makes me smile, she makes
:17:06. > :17:09.everybody smile around her. She has an absolute huge zest
:17:10. > :17:15.for life and, at the age of 94, For Mimi, one of the best bits of
:17:16. > :17:26.coming here is making new friends. Mimi's 95 in February and,
:17:27. > :17:41.with her mix of gym and gin, Andrea Ormsby, BBC
:17:42. > :17:54.Points West, Dulverton. A mum from Bath has written
:17:55. > :17:58.a new book to try and help dispel some of the myths surrounding
:17:59. > :17:59.Down's syndrome. She was told he had Down's 24
:18:00. > :18:08.hours after he was born. Caroline has campaigned a lot to try
:18:09. > :18:10.and change perception, Seb has starred in adverts,
:18:11. > :18:15.and now she's written a book, full of anecdotes of how
:18:16. > :18:19.he's enriched her life. Well, Caroline and Seb are with us
:18:20. > :18:36.now to share some of them. It is great to see you here and it
:18:37. > :18:42.was lovely to read the book. You are very taken with seeing yourself on
:18:43. > :18:50.television! Yes. This book is called The Label. We were given his
:18:51. > :18:58.diagnosis after his birth and with the delivery of those two words,
:18:59. > :19:00.everything changed. I felt unnecessarily devastated with the
:19:01. > :19:07.diagnosis and I started to map out what the future held for us and I
:19:08. > :19:14.made a lot of assumptions. Is it is, assumptions? It was a mixture of
:19:15. > :19:18.outdated stereotypes I had in my mind, because I knew nothing about
:19:19. > :19:27.Down's syndrome, and I bought a lot of bikes which just listed problems,
:19:28. > :19:33.and I felt what was missing was the colour of reality. So, bit by bit,
:19:34. > :19:38.the hurt listed, I fell in love with my boy, he is adorable, and I
:19:39. > :19:46.realised that actually he was still my son and he wasn't Down's
:19:47. > :19:50.syndrome. Really, the book is about writing your own story and not sort
:19:51. > :19:59.of pigeonholing your child. What is day-to-day life like? Really
:20:00. > :20:08.typical. I have two other children. He is football mad. Who do you
:20:09. > :20:12.support? Chelsea. He is actually very good at football. His dad is a
:20:13. > :20:21.big Chelsea fan as well. He has a wicked sense of humour. He is very
:20:22. > :20:38.sporty. He is advertising! What's that? Its money. -- Mummy. You have
:20:39. > :20:50.been on the TV before, haven't you? Were have we seen you? You have seen
:20:51. > :20:54.me... In adverts? Did you notice that perceptions of friends
:20:55. > :21:02.changing? What I find is that actually Seb changes perceptions
:21:03. > :21:07.every day. We grew up in a time where people with Down's syndrome
:21:08. > :21:11.went to their own skill and we never got the chance to see beyond that
:21:12. > :21:17.label. What would you like people to take away from the book? It is a
:21:18. > :21:25.very generic book and doesn't actually reference Down's syndrome
:21:26. > :21:31.but I want people to not be bound by text books and leaflets but to
:21:32. > :21:37.experience their own journey. Seb is every bit as different to someone
:21:38. > :21:55.else's child as my other children are. Don't be defined. Seb, you have

:23:11. > :23:13.a couple of times, I'll get home to bed and be back in work tomorrow.
:23:14. > :23:16.But, no, it turned out to be a whole-night stint.
:23:17. > :23:20.We'd said eight o'clock was our cut-off point completely,
:23:21. > :23:29.Shane O'Hara was the creator of the trick.
:23:30. > :23:32.He's pretty handy with a pool cue, and recalls this latest trick
:23:33. > :23:36.We didn't really speak to each other, myself and Tom,
:23:37. > :23:39.for the last two hours, we were so frustrated.
:23:40. > :23:41.We didn't want to talk to each other.
:23:42. > :23:44.It's brought a lot of fun and made a lot of people smile but,
:23:45. > :23:46.believe me, behind the scenes, there was no smiling.
:23:47. > :23:48.It was just a really frustrating experience,
:23:49. > :23:50.and we regretted ever starting the whole thing.
:23:51. > :23:53.But the two minutes make it worthwhile.
:23:54. > :23:55.The trick's had a million hits around the world already,
:23:56. > :23:59.including a retweet from Bristol golfer Chris Wood.
:24:00. > :24:02.And Shane's promising there's more to come.
:24:03. > :24:06.I would like to do a 1,000-foot version of it, which is definitely
:24:07. > :24:10.And, yeah, you'll have to watch this space.
:24:11. > :24:19.Just have to take some hypnosis to become a little bit
:24:20. > :24:20.more patient and do it, I think.
:24:21. > :24:23.Doing a trick twice as long as this will be the ultimate test.
:24:24. > :24:26.But judging by the popularity of this trick, the world will,
:24:27. > :24:37.Scott Ellis, BBC Points West, Bristol.
:24:38. > :24:49.Now, they join me now. How many hits do you think you have had? You think
:24:50. > :24:57.you have a trick for me. What do I have to do? You have to put the
:24:58. > :25:12.eight ball into the corner pocket. A K, let's see what we can do. Did it,
:25:13. > :25:13.well done. The pressure alone would have made
:25:14. > :25:17.me feel at that!
:25:18. > :25:23.Let's put some more pressure on. Ian has the forecast.
:25:24. > :25:31.I will fast forward to Thursday. We expect a very cold day. Watch this
:25:32. > :25:37.sequence and how rain spreads from the West, south-west during daylight
:25:38. > :25:41.hours. And look at the potential, only potential, for some of that to
:25:42. > :25:47.become snow, particularly across northern parts of our area. There is
:25:48. > :25:55.a Met Office warning, a low risk of snow versus a high risk of rain.
:25:56. > :25:57.This evening into tonight, comparatively mild. Turning windy
:25:58. > :26:01.tomorrow from the north-west. A mild tomorrow from the north-west. A mild
:26:02. > :26:08.day but temperatures slipping away towards the tail end. It looks
:26:09. > :26:13.mostly dry. Here is how things are shaping up, some patchy rain about
:26:14. > :26:19.later tonight, clearing to the south east early tomorrow. Look how the
:26:20. > :26:25.isobars are tightening and moving to the west as the wind starts to come
:26:26. > :26:31.in. The colder air which has origins in the Canadian Arctic. For the rest
:26:32. > :26:34.of this evening and tonight, many areas dry, the second half of the
:26:35. > :26:41.night could have some patchy rain and cloud. Temperatures will stay
:26:42. > :26:46.where they are, around five Celsius. There might be some patchy light
:26:47. > :26:52.rain around the South tomorrow morning. Some brighter spells and we
:26:53. > :26:57.will continue in that vein through the day as the wind continues to be
:26:58. > :27:03.more noticeable. Getting colder but before that getting up to 9-10.
:27:04. > :27:05.There is the outlook, all sorts of shenanigans for Thursday.
:27:06. > :27:15.In summary, shenanigans! That trick shot is on
:27:16. > :27:18.our website if you want to share it.
