:01:22. > :01:34.Liz Beacon is outside Motion nightclub now:

:01:35. > :01:44.It was Friday 13th when he was last seen by his family. He had been out

:01:45. > :01:49.for a couple of drinks with friends and caught the train on his own here

:01:50. > :01:56.to Bristol and two Motion Nightclub where him at the friends. He left

:01:57. > :02:00.his club on his own at 4:30am. That moment was captured on CCTV but

:02:01. > :02:02.there has been nothing from him since. Earlier on I went to meet his

:02:20. > :02:30.know what to do now. I mean we're trying to keep busy

:02:31. > :02:34.doing this social media and I spend four or five hours a day

:02:35. > :02:36.just thanking everybody. Facebook has played a massive part

:02:37. > :02:38.in this as people spread the message A few reported sightings

:02:39. > :02:45.but they haven't been on him Every day is a long day

:02:46. > :02:51.and if you hear the phone go or a knock on the door,

:02:52. > :02:56.you just hope. Deakon lives with his grandad

:02:57. > :02:58.just round the corner Not because this family is not

:02:59. > :03:07.close, quite the opposite. He chose to move in with his grandad

:03:08. > :03:09.to keep him company He's lovely, everybody

:03:10. > :03:11.likes him, he's friendly, he's easy to get on with,

:03:12. > :03:14.he's a laugh, he's All this couple can

:03:15. > :03:27.do now is search. They'll be back out tomorrow

:03:28. > :03:31.leafleting in the area We did the CCTV, we pointed him out

:03:32. > :03:35.so we can narrow down. We know what he was wearing

:03:36. > :03:38.so they can narrow down the search. We have CCTV of him leaving

:03:39. > :03:41.the club, turning right about 4:30am and that's the last we've got

:03:42. > :03:43.at the moment. They are still working on that

:03:44. > :03:46.but they're doing a brilliant And their wait goes

:03:47. > :04:09.on for answers from the police Tomorrow at the family will continue

:04:10. > :04:13.their search. The police are trawling through their CCTV that

:04:14. > :04:20.they have banned if they do find any evidence, they may start to deploy

:04:21. > :04:27.police divers in the canal behind me.

:04:28. > :04:29.Police have launched a murder investigation into the death

:04:30. > :04:33.Her body was found in a house on Pilgrims way last Thursday.

:04:34. > :04:36.Police say they are linking the incident to the fatal accident

:04:37. > :04:38.on Kewstoke Road which happened on the same day.

:04:39. > :04:44.A 70-year-old man died at the scene after his car crashed into a tree.

:04:45. > :04:47.The Police Federation's backing two of its officers after an incident

:04:48. > :04:49.when a former race relations champion was tasered

:04:50. > :04:53.after being mistaken for a dangerous, wanted man.

:04:54. > :05:00.The union, which represents rank and file officers,

:05:01. > :05:02.says Ras Adunbi would not say who he was.

:05:03. > :05:05.Mr Adunbi claims the attack was racist.

:05:06. > :05:09.The matter's been referred to the Independent Police

:05:10. > :05:15.A young man who was found dead on a holiday island where crime

:05:16. > :05:17.is almost unheard of may have been murdered, according to his mother.

:05:18. > :05:20.Josh Clayton from Somerset disappeared on Tresco

:05:21. > :05:22.in the Scilly Isles but there was never a criminal investigation.

:05:23. > :05:25.But now the coroner has ordered the police

:05:26. > :05:41.Before I take my last breath, we will know what happened to my boy

:05:42. > :05:43.without a shadow of the doubt. We will find out and we will get

:05:44. > :05:45.justice for Josh. The final resting

:05:46. > :05:47.place of Josh Clayton. But was his death just a terrible

:05:48. > :05:52.accident or was he murdered? I believe it was done through

:05:53. > :05:58.third-party involvement. His family have now spent the best

:05:59. > :06:01.part of ?70,000 trying They are convinced

:06:02. > :06:12.the police got it wrong. I have had a meeting with Devon and

:06:13. > :06:18.Cornwall police, a senior officer who has assured me he will be

:06:19. > :06:24.reviewing and hopefully will look for any gaps that happened

:06:25. > :06:28.throughout the investigation. It definitely wasn't an accident. I

:06:29. > :06:31.thought it from day one and still believe it now.

:06:32. > :06:34.When police on the Isles of Scilly found the body of Josh Clayton 16

:06:35. > :06:36.months ago they put it down to accidental death.

:06:37. > :06:38.He'd been attending a private party on Tresco where he'd been

:06:39. > :06:41.His body was discovered ten days later.

:06:42. > :06:44.Last week an inquest into his death was dramatically halted

:06:45. > :06:50.This man Leroy Thomas told the hearing that he'd witnessed Josh

:06:51. > :06:53.arguing with a group of men after leaving the party.

:06:54. > :06:57.The coroner said the police needed to reinvestigate.

:06:58. > :07:02.Which has given his family some hope.

:07:03. > :07:05.Up until now they've been asking for a new force to take

:07:06. > :07:18.They just had tunnel vision as far as they were concerned. He was a

:07:19. > :07:19.drugged up drunk that had been washed out to sea and didn't think

:07:20. > :07:36.of anything else. The family say they want the truth

:07:37. > :07:43.and will not stop until they get it. As a family, we can't. There is a

:07:44. > :07:47.broken arm in our family and we want to know the reasons why.

:07:48. > :07:49.A little earlier the former Chief Constable of Gloucestershire,

:07:50. > :07:50.Dr Tim Brain, told me just how unusual it is for an inquest to be

:07:51. > :08:03.It is not unusual for inquests to be adjourned. Normally because the

:08:04. > :08:07.inquest is formally convened, police officers attend to give evidence and

:08:08. > :08:12.they ask for more time to complete the inquiry. Best is a standard

:08:13. > :08:18.process. It is unusual to get into the hearing of the inquest and get

:08:19. > :08:23.some days into it and pours in for the coroner to say new evidence has

:08:24. > :08:28.come to light, go back and find out what is going on here. This happened

:08:29. > :08:32.16 months ago so what are the chances of the evidence being fresh?

:08:33. > :08:37.Devon Malcolm police will have to go back to the witness who has added

:08:38. > :08:40.this new information at a late stage and interview him again and see

:08:41. > :08:46.whether he has something different to say in writing and how that

:08:47. > :09:00.differs from the account. It seems to differ. There was a party and

:09:01. > :09:10.there are people at that party. They may want to interview them again

:09:11. > :09:14.they will have to sift through the connections and that is what police

:09:15. > :09:19.are there to do and they have the facilities to do it. There was

:09:20. > :09:26.famously no crime there and people leave their doors open and about.

:09:27. > :09:30.Will be expertise have been taken seriously? There would have been a

:09:31. > :09:39.difficulty in understanding what this incident was. It was only later

:09:40. > :09:46.when the body turned up that they had a certain death to explain and

:09:47. > :09:51.they have treated it on the evidence they have got not as a suspicious

:09:52. > :09:55.death. Those steps that you would go through normally in an inquiry and I

:09:56. > :10:00.guess the fact that you have quite a few miles between the mainland and

:10:01. > :10:03.the islands making it logistically difficult, Devon, have a wide

:10:04. > :10:11.responsibility for a large force area and they have the equipment to

:10:12. > :10:14.deal with these incidents. You. -- thank you.

:10:15. > :10:16.It's David and Alex with you on this Monday evening.

:10:17. > :10:18.Thank you for starting your week with us.

:10:19. > :10:21.Stay tuned, we've got lots more still ahead before

:10:22. > :10:22.we leave you at seven, including...

:10:23. > :10:31.Join me as Prince Harry joins recovering servicemen in Wiltshire

:10:32. > :10:35.and why they have built this Iron Age roundhouse. We have a Met Office

:10:36. > :10:37.warning for fog through tonight and it do tomorrow morning. Some of it

:10:38. > :10:44.is dense in places. But first, we've been looking

:10:45. > :10:50.into allegations of historical child sexual abuse in football

:10:51. > :10:52.here in the West. Last week the National Police

:10:53. > :10:55.Chief's Council revealed number of alleged victims nationally now

:10:56. > :10:58.stands at 526, with 184 On Tonight's BBC Inside Out West,

:10:59. > :11:07.Geoff Twentyman investigates claims made by three football players

:11:08. > :11:15.from the West against Bob Higgins, who ran a youth academy

:11:16. > :11:18.near Bath in the 1980s. Earlier I asked Geoff's

:11:19. > :11:34.about the allegations. Bob Higgins was the man in charge.

:11:35. > :11:45.He was the youth development officer.

:11:46. > :11:56.A this is how it works. It was in Southampton and they allege Bob

:11:57. > :12:10.Higgins put pressure on him to stay at his house.

:12:11. > :12:13.Bob was there, the really bizarre thing is he's got two young boys sat

:12:14. > :12:20.He's got one leg across his front and one across his back.

:12:21. > :12:24.Again at my age, 12 or 13 at the time, I just accepted it

:12:25. > :12:26.for being a that's what you do sort of thing.

:12:27. > :12:29.I went and sat down on the floor and cuddled into his

:12:30. > :12:33.He did ask me to sit on his lap, which is not

:12:34. > :12:38.So Geoff what else do you find out in this programme?

:12:39. > :12:41.Well, all three of them tell me that as boys they were ordered

:12:42. > :12:44.to take part in naked soap and water massages.

:12:45. > :12:45.Here's what Jason Upshall, from Street in Somerset,

:12:46. > :12:50.tells me about an incident at the Gothia Cup in Sweden in 1988.

:12:51. > :12:59.We were told, get naked, one of your fellow man will do one leg and your

:13:00. > :13:04.team-mates will do the other. I didn't feel comfortable. I said I

:13:05. > :13:09.wasn't doing it. I left the area and he followed me down and said this is

:13:10. > :13:17.about team-building, bonding and relief forcibly told me to get back

:13:18. > :13:23.up there and do it. Dean Radford alleges that when on a car journey,

:13:24. > :13:29.he would touch him going to and from football. I remember one day driving

:13:30. > :13:35.along and he got my head and put my head down in his lap and for an hour

:13:36. > :13:42.and a half, drove with his head -- with my head in his left. It smells

:13:43. > :13:47.-- it is gross but there was the smell of your written through his

:13:48. > :13:55.trousers. It is graphic I know but it is disgusting. It is important to

:13:56. > :14:00.say that Inside Out West have put these allegations to Mr Higgins but

:14:01. > :14:06.he has not responded. He has always denied wrongdoing. The

:14:07. > :14:12.investigations is one of the stories to feature on Inside Out West. They

:14:13. > :14:14.will be looking at the role Bristol played in Kenny Everett's lie. That

:14:15. > :14:22.is here tonight at 7:30pm. Prince Harry has been in Wiltshire

:14:23. > :14:24.today to see how former members of the Armed Forces are being helped

:14:25. > :14:27.with their mental health. The Prince spent the afternoon

:14:28. > :14:29.at the Help For Heroes Recovery Centre in Tidworth,

:14:30. > :14:31.which supports ex-service personnel and their families

:14:32. > :14:33.who are living with anxiety, depression or stress.Our

:14:34. > :14:46.Wiltshire reporter No stranger to Help For Heroes

:14:47. > :14:50.Recovery Centre. He came to learn about the field of mental health.

:14:51. > :14:57.They call it the hidden wound service where men and women, injured

:14:58. > :15:00.or not, find themselves dealing with depression, stress, anxiety,

:15:01. > :15:06.sometimes turning to alcohol. The service has already helped over 1000

:15:07. > :15:12.people. There is a risk that people get used to experiencing low mood

:15:13. > :15:16.and anxiety and think they don't need that to sport. The more we can

:15:17. > :15:21.raise awareness and say there is things we can do, we can help you,

:15:22. > :15:25.if you can recognise those symptoms in yourself. He was shown the things

:15:26. > :15:31.they do come introduced to people they have helped. He talked to

:15:32. > :15:34.people who have had a tough time and in the process of rebuilding

:15:35. > :15:39.themselves. They found lots of ways to help people stop here they are

:15:40. > :15:43.building an Iron Age roundhouse and it gives them space to think but

:15:44. > :15:49.also there in the outdoors and using tools, using their hands and working

:15:50. > :15:53.as part of a team. For former servicemen, that can sometimes be

:15:54. > :15:58.just what they need. I've got physical and mental issues that I

:15:59. > :16:04.need to address. I am no longer the person I was. It is very therapeutic

:16:05. > :16:09.environment and we enjoyed being out and enjoy the company of our

:16:10. > :16:14.comrades learning new skills and defining ourselves by what we can do

:16:15. > :16:20.but not what we can do because of our injuries. Of my friends are

:16:21. > :16:25.still battling through what they need to but they haven't pointed in

:16:26. > :16:30.the direction of here like myself. It is invaluable. With Prince Harry

:16:31. > :16:34.highlighting the issue, Help For Heroes helps to remove any stigma of

:16:35. > :16:40.mental health problems. Service personnel know they can find the

:16:41. > :16:45.help they need to heal and not just the injuries you can see.

:16:46. > :16:48.Two friends of a student who is blind, have designed

:16:49. > :16:52.a unique map to help him find his way around college.

:16:53. > :16:55.Elliott Roberts goes to the National Star College

:16:56. > :17:09.He's using a special 3D printed map that helps him feel where he is.

:17:10. > :17:11.His friends hope it'll help make Elliott more independent.

:17:12. > :17:12.Here's our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve Knibbs.

:17:13. > :17:15.Elliott needs help to make even a short journey from A to B.

:17:16. > :17:18.He's blind and has limited sensitivity so can't read braille -

:17:19. > :17:20.he also finds it difficult to remember his way around.

:17:21. > :17:23.So his friends at college decided to make him a map,

:17:24. > :17:31.Using a 3D printer they've created tactile map of his

:17:32. > :17:36.With different shaped raised areas represent different rooms,

:17:37. > :17:43.And it's ultimate aim is to help Elliott achieve something that

:17:44. > :17:52.I can be more independent when I leave college.

:17:53. > :17:56.The map has gone through several designs - with feedback from Elliott

:17:57. > :18:09.There is quite a lot of failures we have had along the way and their

:18:10. > :18:13.students have made a lot of changes through Elliott's guidance so he can

:18:14. > :18:15.recognise certain rooms and certain shapes and feel the doorways,

:18:16. > :18:19.different bumps along the way. It's thought that this might be

:18:20. > :18:22.the first time a 3D map has been And something Elliott's friends

:18:23. > :18:34.feel rightly proud of. I am really excited about the

:18:35. > :18:41.project and I can help others. Happy it is being used and hard work has

:18:42. > :18:45.paid off. We hope it will make his life a bit more easier.

:18:46. > :18:47.The students are so pleased with their idea that they're taking

:18:48. > :18:50.it to a big educational technology exhibition in London this week.

:18:51. > :18:57.To maybe help others like Elliott to really feel their way around.

:18:58. > :19:02.Bristol City's head coach Lee Johnson says he's ashamed

:19:03. > :19:07.Their latest defeat set an unwanted club record.

:19:08. > :19:12.Our sports editor Alistair Durden is here - how bad has it got?

:19:13. > :19:16.Eight league defeats in a row - the worst run in City's history.

:19:17. > :19:21.Growing discontent amongst the supporters.

:19:22. > :19:24.What does this all mean for head coach Lee Johnson.

:19:25. > :19:27.Only one man can really answer that - owner Stephen Lansdown,

:19:28. > :19:44.Eight defeats is not what we want. I am not happy with that and don't

:19:45. > :19:50.expect any supporter or anyone associated with the club is either.

:19:51. > :19:56.We have to turn it around and I'm looking to the management team and

:19:57. > :20:03.players to do that for us. Is his job face? I will not discuss that as

:20:04. > :20:08.I do not discuss this in the public media. He has my full support of the

:20:09. > :20:14.board and my support and the support of the majority of the supporters

:20:15. > :20:18.and the players. We look forward to turning the situation around and

:20:19. > :20:24.climbing back up the league. Dursley need to get something from the next

:20:25. > :20:33.two home games, Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham? -- does Lee. We need

:20:34. > :20:37.to get points quickly to restore the confidence of the supporters and the

:20:38. > :20:42.players because they will be filling it as well. It is not going the way

:20:43. > :20:47.they wanted to. We have brought in some very good players who have

:20:48. > :20:51.played at high level and have got that experience and can help the

:20:52. > :20:54.younger ones through. I don't feel panicked situation here. I feel

:20:55. > :20:58.disappointed that we have been using these games by the odd goal and I'm

:20:59. > :21:02.not trying to kid anybody. We need to win games and win them quickly.

:21:03. > :21:08.You have confidence you have a good squad of players. What has gone

:21:09. > :21:12.wrong? Some of these games, we think we have got them and they slip away.

:21:13. > :21:19.When you are struggling, it is difficult to turn it around. I feel

:21:20. > :21:22.very confident that we have the right infrastructure in the club and

:21:23. > :21:26.the right playing staff and management staff to make that

:21:27. > :21:32.happen. Have you got a message that the supporters who have perhaps lost

:21:33. > :21:37.faith? I understand the frustration. I hate people -- hate losing

:21:38. > :21:42.football matches. You could be pushing for the top six but we are

:21:43. > :21:47.not. What I would ask everybody to do is all the frustration they are

:21:48. > :21:51.suffering, gather it together, turn it into strong support for the

:21:52. > :21:58.management, players and help us turn it around. We need to get behind the

:21:59. > :22:03.team. Don't let anything sway us from doing that and work harder

:22:04. > :22:08.together to get the results we need. They have an FA Cup game on Saturday

:22:09. > :22:13.and that is a free hit. No one expects them to win that. Two home

:22:14. > :22:18.league games against Sheffield Wednesday a week tomorrow and bottom

:22:19. > :22:22.club rather on Saturday after that. You feel they have to get something

:22:23. > :22:25.from that. Lee Johnson will need something.

:22:26. > :22:32.Leah Johnson has his full support. Things can change. Thank you.

:22:33. > :22:35.A couple who found love second time around tied the knot this weekend

:22:36. > :22:40.and chose a bygone era for the theme of their big day.

:22:41. > :22:42.Marlene Robinson-Franklin and Ronnie Franklin are 79 and 85.

:22:43. > :22:46.They met in the village of Uley and got married

:22:47. > :22:49.in Cam at the weekend - in a special vintage

:22:50. > :23:08.Marlene and Ronnie believe they're meant to be.

:23:09. > :23:21.Ronnie was married to his first wife, Barbara for almost 60 years.

:23:25. > :23:27.She said to me, "You must find someone else.

:23:35. > :23:41.Marlene also lost her husband, Austin, three years ago.

:23:42. > :23:44.They'd been married since she was 17.

:23:45. > :23:50.What I'm getting from my family and many overs is,

:23:51. > :24:04."Your husband, Austin, wouldn't want to see you unhappy.

:24:05. > :24:06.He'd be up there now looking down on you saying, Ronnie,

:24:07. > :24:14.But she's still taking her style from the fabulous fifties.

:24:15. > :24:16.It was all about dreamcoats and petticoats.

:24:17. > :24:18.My skirts were very, very short and when you twirled round,

:24:19. > :24:22.We liked to show what we had underneath which used

:24:33. > :24:48.Now they are married, what are they hoping for? We had long and happy

:24:49. > :24:54.marriages and we've got to emulate them. By looking to their past, the

:25:03. > :25:06.Every happiness to you both. Let us catch up with the weather. It is

:25:07. > :25:18.going to be foggy, I think. Good evening. The risk of fog looks

:25:19. > :25:22.very likely. Expect by tomorrow morning there will be some districts

:25:23. > :25:32.which will be in some murky conditions. Where we are free of

:25:33. > :25:38.that, we will be in for a day not dissimilar to the one we have had.

:25:39. > :25:44.Remaining dry. Our focus is on the fog. It is a case of a Met Office

:25:45. > :25:48.warning which will run through to 11 o'clock tomorrow and will cater to

:25:49. > :25:53.the likelihood that some areas, visibility could be to 50 metres

:25:54. > :25:58.below. That will having publications the transport and it will take some

:25:59. > :26:03.time to clear tomorrow, if indeed it does. We have seen some areas of

:26:04. > :26:07.southern England where the fog has not cleared. You can see the

:26:08. > :26:13.footprint further westwards. Hence as being in the thick of it. It is a

:26:14. > :26:17.fairly benign pattern leaving us through towards Wednesday with the

:26:18. > :26:21.breeze picking up. The fog should not be an issue by Wednesday

:26:22. > :26:26.morning. We have seen in southern parts fog has not clear that all you

:26:27. > :26:31.and as we run through this evening into tonight, it would be our

:26:32. > :26:38.district that will likely see fog first and it footprint will move to

:26:39. > :26:45.other areas as the night wears on. For all of us where temperatures

:26:46. > :26:49.dropping between zero and -4-macro, there will be freezing fog first

:26:50. > :26:54.light and it is not inconceivable that the some areas, it will stay

:26:55. > :26:59.right through the day. It is looking a reasonable day and it will be a

:27:00. > :27:01.dry one with variable amounts of cloud and brighter spells.

:27:02. > :27:10.Temperatures under the fog, no better than seven Celsius. There

:27:11. > :27:14.should be the last of the fog problems. An opportunity for all

:27:15. > :27:21.those weather watchers out there. If you take a picture of it and send it

:27:22. > :27:25.into us and put on your -- our Facebook page, that would be good.

:27:26. > :27:27.You wouldn't see very much with the fog. Not sure that is a brilliant

:27:28. > :27:29.idea. Goodbye.
