:02:32. > :02:40.for the homecoming. Yes, any welcome home party
:02:41. > :02:49.here needs to be put on hold. Now he's already been in prison

:02:59. > :03:09.was substituted with seven years - and because many prisoners only
:03:10. > :03:11.serve half their sentences, well Blackman has pretty
:03:12. > :03:13.much done all his time. His barrister said he expected him
:03:14. > :03:22.to be freed in about two weeks. Now this is a case that continues
:03:23. > :03:34.to polarise opinion. There are those, including

:05:13. > :05:13.cameras, may have been captured on helmet cameras,
:05:14. > :05:15.may have been illegal, but militarily, he made the right

:05:18. > :05:19.Taliban fighter. If he hadn't have done
:05:20. > :05:22.what he did, then I would be walking out of the main gate

:05:31. > :05:32.with all the guys I walked Now Alexander Blackman had hoped
:05:33. > :05:41.that once his murder conviction had been overturned he might be able
:05:42. > :05:44.to rejoin the Royal Marines. Today's judges, who said
:05:45. > :05:49.he "retained a substantial responsibility for
:05:50. > :05:53.the deliberate killing". Decided he should remain dismissed
:05:54. > :05:56.from the Royal Marines. Though they did change one thing,
:05:57. > :06:02."Dismissed with disgrace" now But should he have been

:06:15. > :06:17.still living in Somerset, He is and always will
:06:18. > :06:27.be part of the Royal Marine family, but I am
:06:28. > :06:30.sure that he will want to focus on his future
:06:31. > :06:32.and the Royal Marines will
:06:33. > :06:35.want to to go back to concentrate on doing
:06:36. > :06:36.what they do best, being the nation's
:06:37. > :06:38.expeditionary force of choice. They and he will have
:06:39. > :06:41.learned much, but I'm sure they'll
:06:42. > :06:44.want to put it behind I'm sure they'll want
:06:45. > :06:46.to put it behind them Unwavering support and admiration
:06:47. > :06:53.for Claire Blackman today. You've had many conversations
:06:54. > :06:55.with her over the last three years. Did you ever get the sense
:06:56. > :07:06.that she thought this Up to half an hour ago, I would have
:07:07. > :07:08.said no. In fact, she rang me in the last 20 minutes and I had
:07:09. > :07:16.accommodation with her. I was able to say that they will ask me that
:07:17. > :07:20.question, I am -- am I right in saying you have my doubts? She said
:07:21. > :07:24.no, I did have doubts. She said at some point she felt like she was
:07:25. > :07:31.fighting an unwinnable battle. I think that once the criminal case's
:07:32. > :07:35.decided to get this case back to the Court of Appeal, I think her views
:07:36. > :07:41.on that changed. She was confident from that point on. She said
:07:42. > :07:47.confident, but never count your chickens. That is view.
:07:48. > :07:49.Let's get the thoughts now of Lord Ashdown,
:07:50. > :08:05.Paddy Ashdown, are you comfortable with today's decision? The courts
:08:06. > :08:09.process has completed. It has taken the course it should take, must
:08:10. > :08:12.take, as part of our system of law in Britain and it has reached its
:08:13. > :08:16.conclusion. It is not for politicians or indeed for anybody
:08:17. > :08:20.else to interfere in that process. They argue final and only authority.
:08:21. > :08:25.They have made their decision as to the guilt or otherwise of Sergeant
:08:26. > :08:30.Blackman and they have reached their conclusion as to the sentence and
:08:31. > :08:39.there in lies and there it stays. I agree with Clinton that the one an
:08:40. > :08:47.Allied heroin is Claire Blackman. She has stood by her husband. But
:08:48. > :08:54.yourself in his position in that terrible day of duty. With remains
:08:55. > :08:58.of other soldiers being used as bait and so on, do you think you might
:08:59. > :09:03.have been tempted to do what Blackman did? I can't tell. I wasn't
:09:04. > :09:07.there. I think anybody that was there knows and anybody who wasn't
:09:08. > :09:11.there it doesn't. That does not alter the fact that in the end there
:09:12. > :09:15.is a question as to whether or not the law in our country and indeed
:09:16. > :09:18.international law, has been broken. It was right that that should be
:09:19. > :09:22.tested in the court and right that the court should reach its
:09:23. > :09:27.conclusion. David, I was a Royal Marine myself. I have been in active
:09:28. > :09:31.service. I've not seen anything like what Sergeant Blackman saw, but I
:09:32. > :09:39.have seen enough. I have given evidence three times in front of the
:09:40. > :09:43.war crime tribunal. For actions against international law. Unless
:09:44. > :09:46.you have that law asserted and tested in a court, you can't have
:09:47. > :09:50.Nuremberg, you can't bring walk on roles to justice. No one is saying
:09:51. > :09:58.that sudden Blackman is. But the law has to be paid. These old -- soldier
:09:59. > :10:02.goes into someone else's country armed with lethal force. To uphold
:10:03. > :10:11.the law. If these older in the process of a battle does not uphold
:10:12. > :10:15.law, then they need to face justice. If the enemy is in your site, you
:10:16. > :10:18.must do everything you can to kill him. If the enemy is in your power,
:10:19. > :10:23.you have to do everything you can to save him. I remember you saying
:10:24. > :10:27.that, but the truth is that he did break the Geneva Convention and he
:10:28. > :10:32.has admitted that. The people he is fighting against, the Taliban and
:10:33. > :10:39.so-called IES, couldn't care less about the Geneva Convention. No.
:10:40. > :10:44.That is frequently the case. With the enemies that we need to fight.
:10:45. > :10:59.It does not mean that you do not follow it. I remember saying to
:11:00. > :11:12.slobber than the loss of itch -- a person who was .... It is a hard
:11:13. > :11:15.judgment. In the end, the court has decided on that decision needs to be
:11:16. > :11:23.respected. There were mitigating circumstances and that is where the
:11:24. > :11:32.matter should be left. We should be celebrating with Claire Blackman.
:11:33. > :11:36.That was Lord Ashman reacting to our top story tonight. The imminent
:11:37. > :11:39.release of Alexander Blackman, the former Royal Marine from Taunton who
:11:40. > :11:45.has had his prison sentence cut today.
:11:46. > :11:47.This is David and Liz with tonight's Points West.
:11:48. > :11:49.Still to come on this evening's programme:
:11:50. > :11:52.If you're scared of heights you might want to look away now.
:11:53. > :11:54.We're with the super sparkies as they scale the pylons
:11:55. > :12:03.A misty start across the Severn. A mixed day of weather. Next is the
:12:04. > :12:11.watchword for the next few days, but I will try and pin some detail on it
:12:12. > :12:13.later in the weather. Yes, we are going up in the world later on.
:12:14. > :12:17.The inquest into the death of a man who was fatally stabbed heard today
:12:18. > :12:26.that his killer had a history of paranoia, but not violence.
:12:27. > :12:28.Robert Cox was 24 when he was attacked by Derek Hancock
:12:29. > :12:30.at their supported accommodation in Bristol, four years ago.
:12:31. > :12:37.In his 20s, with mental health problems, he ended up here.
:12:38. > :12:39.Supported accommodation on Eginton Road in Bristol.
:12:40. > :12:41.In the summer of 2013, another resident, Derek Hancock,
:12:42. > :12:52.The inquest heard Derek Hancock had been homeless and in a hostel
:12:53. > :12:55.with 24-hour staff cover, but was judged ready to step
:12:56. > :13:01.Wherever he lived though, there were problems.
:13:02. > :13:03.We heard today that Mr Hancock was paranoid
:13:04. > :13:29.--and at another, he had made unfounded
:13:30. > :13:33.This was all before he came to Egerton Road, but once that,
:13:34. > :13:36.he made the same type of unfounded allegations against Robert Cox.
:13:37. > :13:38.Including on the day that Mr Cox died.
:13:39. > :13:40.How police dealt with those allegations will be picked
:13:41. > :13:44.Risk assessments by the Bristol City Council and housing providers
:13:45. > :13:47.But Mr Cox's family still want answers from this ten-day inquest.
:13:48. > :13:50.The police have issued a fresh appeal for information
:13:51. > :13:54.in an unsolved case of a woman who was murdered 30 years ago today.
:13:55. > :13:56.66-year-old Helen Fleet was found in woodland
:13:57. > :14:04.She was last seen alive that morning when she parked her blue Datsun
:14:05. > :14:06.near Worlebury Woods to take her dogs for a walk.
:14:07. > :14:09.Her body was found by another dog walker and it sparked a major
:14:10. > :14:13.police investigation, but no-one was ever charged.
:14:14. > :14:18.A security guard who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter
:14:19. > :14:20.after tackling a suspected shoplifter will face
:14:21. > :14:25.Kieren Church died when the glass bottles he was hiding smashed
:14:26. > :14:28.as he was apprehended by the security guard at The Shires
:14:29. > :14:35.Three men have appeared in court charged with slavery and drugs
:14:36. > :14:38.offences after a cannabis farm was discovered in a disused nuclear
:14:39. > :14:45.Two men from Bristol aged 27 and 30, along with a 45-year-old man
:14:46. > :14:48.from Bridgwater have all been remanded in custody.
:14:49. > :14:58.Next, a quiet corner of South Bristol was transformed
:14:59. > :15:01.into a massive building site today, as the BBC programme DIY SOS got
:15:02. > :15:11.The team are working around the clock to transform
:15:12. > :15:13.a home in Hartcliffe and allow the family's son to return
:15:14. > :15:32.As you can see behind me, at quarter to seven in the evening, there are
:15:33. > :15:36.still a good 25 were men and women in there. They have been here all
:15:37. > :15:41.day most since eight o'clock this morning. An awful lot of hard work
:15:42. > :15:44.going on. We have been here most of the day and it has been really
:15:45. > :15:48.fascinating and inspirational learning what is going on. We all
:15:49. > :15:57.watch and love the programme. It has been a real privilege learning what
:15:58. > :16:01.goes on in real-time. By mid-morning most of the input side of that house
:16:02. > :16:05.was in the skip here. What struck me most is just the atmosphere of fun
:16:06. > :16:06.here today. A real sense of a community pulling together for a
:16:07. > :16:07.really good cause. Nearly 100 builders, plumbers,
:16:08. > :16:16.electircians and carpenters. All on site, on time
:16:17. > :16:23.and raring to go. They won't get paid
:16:24. > :16:25.and they will work hard, but they've all turned up
:16:26. > :16:27.to do their bit. The people who come up and turn up
:16:28. > :16:31.here, most of them won't be The people who give us kitchens
:16:32. > :16:34.and extensions and all the rest of it, we are not allowed
:16:35. > :16:37.to say who they are. It is the ultimate
:16:38. > :16:39.altruistic act, really. It's the community
:16:40. > :16:41.coming together in a way that people think doesn't
:16:42. > :16:43.exist any more, but does. Five years ago he collpased
:16:44. > :16:49.after an operation and has needed round-the-clock
:16:50. > :16:51.care ever since. But the family home just
:16:52. > :16:53.wasn't suitable for him, so he's been stuck in
:16:54. > :16:56.a care home in Gloucester with his Mum traveling by bus
:16:57. > :16:59.and train for five hours a day For his parents, this
:17:00. > :17:04.build means the world. To come back and see our
:17:05. > :17:07.house and a bit of the state, we are excited to see
:17:08. > :17:09.what the end product Very, very exciting,
:17:10. > :17:14.but slightly nervous, as well. It will transform especially my
:17:15. > :17:16.life, travelling five hours a day just to go and see
:17:17. > :17:20.Ryan and do his care. With a lot of man and woman power,
:17:21. > :17:29.it didn't take long to make a start. It is now 10:30, this build only
:17:30. > :17:34.started an hour ago. We have been watching
:17:35. > :17:37.people piling in As you can see, this skip
:17:38. > :17:47.which was empty and hour For people living nearby in this
:17:48. > :17:51.usually quiet corner of Hartcliffe - it's been an unusual day -
:17:52. > :17:54.with the street turned into part building site, part film set -
:17:55. > :17:56.with some serious celebrity What is it like having
:17:57. > :17:59.all of these famous I can't wait for them
:18:00. > :18:06.to come out so I can meet And it is even better that it is for
:18:07. > :18:10.a good cause, as well. By late afternoon,
:18:11. > :18:12.the house was stripped bare. Walls and ceilings have
:18:13. > :18:14.been knocked down, And tonight, nine days to get
:18:15. > :18:37.it put back together, I can see you with your hard hat on,
:18:38. > :18:41.neck. Looks like there was a brilliant turnout today. Is that
:18:42. > :18:47.always the case or is heartless exceptional? It is in the top 30 of
:18:48. > :18:51.the 200 and something that we have done probably in terms of turnout.
:18:52. > :18:56.It was a good start. We thought we would have about 80, but in actual
:18:57. > :19:00.fact I asked the man who did our lunches and he said he did 199 to.
:19:01. > :19:05.They go. There is Billy in the background that. We have superglued
:19:06. > :19:09.to a lamp post just for your entertainment. Love Billy getting in
:19:10. > :19:15.on the action. Hello, Billy. He can't move, because I literally have
:19:16. > :19:18.superglued him to the lamp post. I watched last week and you may build
:19:19. > :19:23.and one of the volunteers wouldn't go home to see his wife in labour.
:19:24. > :19:31.What is it about you and the team that inspires such passion? It is
:19:32. > :19:37.very nice of you to think it is me and the team, it isn't. This is a
:19:38. > :19:41.DIY SOS, but we are actually just a little gravitational pull for the
:19:42. > :19:45.community to come together. The people who come in, enjoy it so much
:19:46. > :19:50.and really feel they own this build. It is very difficult to send them
:19:51. > :19:53.home. Health and safety things, work hours we are supposed to do, it is
:19:54. > :19:58.hard to get them off site. They're determined to get on. The changes
:19:59. > :20:03.here have been extraordinary, we have taken walls, ceilings, floors.
:20:04. > :20:12.Back of the house of. It is on such a grand scale that people really buy
:20:13. > :20:17.into it. It is more relevant than just making something for somebody,
:20:18. > :20:21.they are changing an opportunity for a family. This lad has been away
:20:22. > :20:24.from his home and family for five years. The medics have done an
:20:25. > :20:29.amazing job for him, but they can't get him home. This lot can. That is
:20:30. > :20:33.kind of amazing. When you realised you have that power, it is not
:20:34. > :20:38.difficult. Plus, we feed them heavily, which is important. Very
:20:39. > :20:45.quickly, it is always a race against time to get it done, that have
:20:46. > :20:50.always does get done, doesn't it? Yes, I feel like Geoffrey Rush in
:20:51. > :20:55.Shakespeare in Love when he says, it will be all right, I don't know how,
:20:56. > :20:59.but it will be. I don't know how it works. No matter how much work needs
:21:00. > :21:04.doing, people stay until it gets done and we will be here late on
:21:05. > :21:08.next Tuesday, Wednesday, ready to hand the thing over on Thursday
:21:09. > :21:11.morning and hopefully change the family's live. These people will be
:21:12. > :21:17.changing families lives. Literally superglued to the lamp post. You
:21:18. > :21:21.thought I was joking, he really is. If you need any help for the heavy
:21:22. > :21:23.work, I will send Liz over straightaway. Oh, no, David is your
:21:24. > :21:25.man. One of the UK's tallest electricity
:21:26. > :21:28.pylons has been scaled today, to replace vital parts last touched
:21:29. > :21:31.almost 50 years ago. The pylon, one of two
:21:32. > :21:33.spanning the river severn, stands at almost 500-feet tall
:21:34. > :21:37.and carries cables buzzing Shrouded by a thick fog this
:21:38. > :21:49.morning, this pylon has helped keep the South West's light switches
:21:50. > :21:56.working since the late 1950s. And is so tall the top is often lost
:21:57. > :22:00.among the low cloud. They call these river crossing
:22:01. > :22:03.towers or pylons to you and me, and what we've
:22:04. > :22:06.got here in the west is the second-highest pair
:22:07. > :22:10.anywhere in Great Britain. And through pretty dense fog
:22:11. > :22:12.here this morning, you can see the one over there

:23:43. > :23:47.is used to firsts. It was from here that the first-ever

:24:02. > :24:04.to offer the coin today. It is usually quite busy anyway,

:24:38. > :24:40.birthday, so we were just in town and we heard that they
:24:41. > :24:43.were coming out here. So we thought we would just
:24:44. > :24:46.pop in and get them. My sister texted me
:24:47. > :24:48.and said get some So I thought I would get
:24:49. > :24:52.some for the kids and Others just wanted to be one
:24:53. > :24:56.of the first to have one. It doesn't happen
:24:57. > :24:58.very often, does it? I thought I'd just
:24:59. > :25:00.come and get a few. Have a couple of the new ones

:25:20. > :25:22.this is what happened when BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker got his hands
:25:23. > :25:25.on one of the first new pound coins It reminded us of this classic
:25:26. > :25:37.Points West moment when presenter Susan Osman lost a diamond worth
:25:38. > :25:43.?750,000 down the back of our sofa luckily, as you can see,
:25:44. > :25:48.it wasn't lost forever. Let's have a look at the weather
:25:49. > :25:58.with Sara Thornton. Thank you. I have lost a bit of
:25:59. > :26:02.detail in this forecast. I said a few minutes ago that it is pretty
:26:03. > :26:05.mixed, and if you look at the Globe, you can see that there is some
:26:06. > :26:09.showers on it because it is going to be a pretty mixed forecast. Today,
:26:10. > :26:16.we saw those amazing pictures way high up of mist and fog. Then it
:26:17. > :26:22.cleared up and some cloud has been moving in. That cloud has got some
:26:23. > :26:27.rain with it. It is fizzling out a lot, but is heading our way. As I
:26:28. > :26:30.said last night, it has opened the floodgates for little systems to
:26:31. > :26:33.flood in over the next few days. Let's talk about that detail. Look
:26:34. > :26:39.at that yellow line, it is right across the Bristol Channel. Anything
:26:40. > :26:43.north west will be wetter. Always a bit drier in knee. They're that in
:26:44. > :26:46.mind as we look at the progression of France in the chart. That little
:26:47. > :26:52.bit of drizzle coming through this evening, largely most of it will be
:26:53. > :26:56.gone by tomorrow evening. If you lingering showers. Much milder than
:26:57. > :26:59.last night. Ten or 11 degrees. That is because of that south-westerly
:27:00. > :27:04.wind that you can see. That south-west of the wind will bring us
:27:05. > :27:08.some showers especially at the west. Cloudier largely than today and by
:27:09. > :27:12.the afternoon a view more showers coming through. A lot of dry
:27:13. > :27:15.weather. The further east you are, temperatures in the mid teens. In
:27:16. > :27:22.terms of once, it is Thursday that we are really feeling that southerly
:27:23. > :27:25.wind all the way up from the Azores. France are trying to encroach
:27:26. > :27:29.towards us. They don't really make too many in the way of inroads, so
:27:30. > :27:32.there will be a lot of dry and bright weather in the east.
:27:33. > :27:39.Temperatures cooler by Friday. Thank you very much. I've got one of
:27:40. > :27:45.these new pounds. Shall we toss for it? Works. Sorry, it is mine. We
