:04:37. > :04:40.and started the clear-up operation. There were all sorts
:04:41. > :04:45.of household furniture items - chairs, tables, several
:04:46. > :04:52.baths, a couple of sofas. And not just sofas but
:04:53. > :04:55.chairs, tables, cookers, mattresses, garden waste,

:05:40. > :05:43.and dog walkers, now turned into a dumping ground,
:05:44. > :05:48.covered in broken glass. The woods here used
:05:49. > :05:51.as a toilet, too. A lorry arrived as we filmed this
:05:52. > :05:54.afternoon, picking up the pieces and the cost,
:05:55. > :05:57.of course, of the rubbish people had Now the council have the option now
:05:58. > :06:04.of going through that rubbish and trying to work out
:06:05. > :06:06.where it came from. Because people having their rubbish
:06:07. > :06:10.taken away, have the responsibility of making sure whoever is taking it
:06:11. > :06:14.has the right licence. Meanwhile, the council are looking
:06:15. > :06:26.at ways of making this site What a mess. Now we have dramatic
:06:27. > :06:30.pictures of you. There have been flash flooding in parts of Somerset
:06:31. > :06:34.this afternoon. This is Yeovil, and they were taken by a firefighter

:06:40. > :06:42.a vehicle caught in the floodwater. Alongside the downpours. You can
:06:43. > :06:46.hear T there was also thunder and lightning. Hopefully we won't have
:06:47. > :06:55.more of that. Ian will be clear soon.

:08:07. > :08:16.the end of the programme. If you are planning a takeaway
:08:17. > :08:17.tonight, we have news for you about that as well. But first:
:08:18. > :08:19.The Ukip candidate for North Wiltshire has been suspended
:08:20. > :08:22.from the party over a series of tweets he sent about race.
:08:23. > :08:24.Our political editor Paul Barltrop has the details.
:08:25. > :08:34.Well the gentlemen's name is Mack 1. He is the Ukip candidate in the
:08:35. > :08:39.constituency of North Wiltshire. He is a former Army officer. He
:08:40. > :08:44.currently runs a company offering trekking holidays in the Himalayas
:08:45. > :08:47.but he is fairly active on twitter. An anti-racist website has uncovered
:08:48. > :08:54.some of the things he has put on there in the past few years. I have
:08:55. > :08:56.to warn people some of what we are about to talk about is fairly
:08:57. > :09:17.offensive. One reads. "Africa is where humans are animals
:09:18. > :09:24.and animals are human." One refers to Chinese people in a similar way
:09:25. > :09:28.and one is derogatory about him. So what's happened to him? ? We've
:09:29. > :09:33.tracked him down, he is out of the country. He says he regrets what he
:09:34. > :09:37.posted. He didn't mean to cause offence. He claims he is not racist
:09:38. > :09:42.and says he was angry at the actions of the Israeli state. How important
:09:43. > :09:46.is social media, Paul, in general election campaigns like the one we
:09:47. > :09:51.are going through now? Well, we hear a lot of talk about things like
:09:52. > :09:55.twitter. We know Facebook influential in the modern era. I
:09:56. > :09:56.have been out finding out that traditional ways of campaigning is
:09:57. > :10:06.still important. This is what elections are about.
:10:07. > :10:13.Volunteers here getting the message out to voters. At the Greens in
:10:14. > :10:16.Bristol, plenty of young faces, including students fitting it in
:10:17. > :10:21.with exams I come to the library every day making sure I know enough.
:10:22. > :10:26.When I have a free afternoon or free morning, I help out. It is good to
:10:27. > :10:29.have a break from revision, and get out and do something, feel you are
:10:30. > :10:34.making a difference. Leaflets aren't the only way they reach out to
:10:35. > :10:42.voters. You know conventional ways, I would say still make up the most
:10:43. > :10:47.of campaigning but the social media can help. This was a graph, which
:10:48. > :10:53.was seen by 70,000 people people in the constituency. Half a century ago
:10:54. > :10:56.this is what electioneering looked like, candidates meeting people
:10:57. > :11:01.face-to-face on Bristol's streets. It is the traditional way to go
:11:02. > :11:04.campaigning but in 2017, canvassing is still considered important. In a
:11:05. > :11:09.hard-fought seat like this wurnings the parties will have teams of
:11:10. > :11:13.volunteers going out door-to-door every day and in Bristol West, the
:11:14. > :11:16.Green's top target they are pulling out all the stops. It is an
:11:17. > :11:20.old-fashioned message but it works. We are aiming to canvass every
:11:21. > :11:26.single house in the constituency. 70,000. It is similar in the Stroud
:11:27. > :11:32.constituency where Labour activists aim it get their message out on the
:11:33. > :11:35.doorstep If you go on the TV and media you would think it is a
:11:36. > :11:38.presidential campaign, you would think it is president May verses
:11:39. > :11:43.Jeremy Corbyn and the others. We should judge people on the policies.
:11:44. > :11:46.On the doorstep it is one way we can get across what we want to do. Their
:11:47. > :11:51.leaflets are all about their candidates, rather than their
:11:52. > :11:57.leader. Many helped here in the local elections but were happy to
:11:58. > :12:03.work on We were looking forward to having a sit, do you you get
:12:04. > :12:08.knockers knuckle I call t knuckle frenzy. You clearly enjoy it? I love
:12:09. > :12:14.T absolutely love it. The fun has another 20 days to run. We are
:12:15. > :12:16.nearly there and we'll be talking live to four
:12:17. > :12:23.of our westcountry candidates Don't miss it - we'll
:12:24. > :12:27.be talking austerity, the winter fuel allowance
:12:28. > :12:29.and embarrassing political gaffes. Now if you're thinking
:12:30. > :12:34.of getting a takeaway tonight, you might want to watch our
:12:35. > :12:38.next report first. That's because coffee shops and fast
:12:39. > :12:40.food outlets in Bristol are being challenged
:12:41. > :12:45.to offer healthier food. Almost two-thirds of adults
:12:46. > :12:48.in the city are overweight or obese and the council hopes a new awards
:12:49. > :12:51.scheme will lead to more Scott Ellis is in
:12:52. > :13:03.Southmead for us tonight. Scott, what is on the menu there?
:13:04. > :13:07.Well, it does smell great here. But you know the number of takeaways in
:13:08. > :13:11.Bristol has doubled in ten years. This is the central shopping area.
:13:12. > :13:16.We have a kebab shop here, we have pizzas on the go and look at the
:13:17. > :13:20.queue for the fish and chip shop. That's what you like to see. They
:13:21. > :13:24.are being challenged to offer healthier food but you may say it is
:13:25. > :13:28.their job to sell White House bewant it eat, regardless whether it is
:13:29. > :13:34.deep fried or otherwise. But there is evidence to say that it might be
:13:35. > :13:37.good for business because a citizens zones' survey say three-quarters of
:13:38. > :13:41.us want healthier food when we buy at takeaways.
:13:42. > :13:44.Bristol loves its takeaways and cafes - there are 494 in total.
:13:45. > :13:46.That's one for every 896 people, beating Gloucester where it's one
:13:47. > :13:50.And far more than Bath, Taunton and Swindon,
:13:51. > :13:53.where takeaways are much more spread out.
:13:54. > :13:55.But convenience food, or coffee and cake, brings
:13:56. > :14:03.Take aways and food outlets tend to be higher in fat, sugar, salt,
:14:04. > :14:14.This cafe at a community centre in Southmead has already made
:14:15. > :14:16.the changes the counil wants to see more of.
:14:17. > :14:19.Crisps are squirrelled away at the back.
:14:20. > :14:22.Well, they're getting rid of them all together.
:14:23. > :14:23.You will be surprised how people will change.
:14:24. > :14:28.They will have a portion of chips one day, then
:14:29. > :14:38.The jacket potatoes are popular, they can have whatever feeling
:14:39. > :14:40.The jacket potatoes are popular, they can have whatever filling
:14:41. > :14:43.So how's healthy living going down with the customers?
:14:44. > :15:00.I do try healthy things, but I'm not very good at it.
:15:01. > :15:03.I'd quit the cakes and have toast and coffee, and that is it.
:15:04. > :15:13.I will quite happily eat at a healthy cafe.
:15:14. > :15:16.Takeaways like chippies can do theire bit -
:15:17. > :15:19.change from palm to vegetable oil, and offer thicker chips -
:15:20. > :15:23.Would you consider healthy options here?
:15:24. > :15:25.If they were on offer, I might be tempted.
:15:26. > :15:34.Stroud-based TV doctor Dawn Harper of Embarrassing Bodies' fame is
:15:35. > :15:39.backing the scheme. I think we need to take this so seriously. Obesity
:15:40. > :15:45.is an epidemic in this country and it'll bankrupt the NHS in my
:15:46. > :15:49.lifetime if we don't turn the tide. Bristol launches this scheme next
:15:50. > :15:53.week and the council hopes 250 takeaways and cafe also sign up in
:15:54. > :15:58.the first year. Well, the look of this food is making me feel peckic.
:15:59. > :16:20.So let's see what is on the menu this evening.
:16:21. > :16:28.8338 calories in the fish supper is quite a lot and incidentally a
:16:29. > :16:34.ten-inch pizza with meat, more calorific, but you can be healthy by
:16:35. > :16:37.having a much inthiser, Neopolitan-style pizza. The choice
:16:38. > :16:41.is yours, remembering, you are what you eat. People are eating right
:16:42. > :16:45.now. Thank you, Scott. A little bit of what you fancy does you good. But
:16:46. > :16:49.moderation in all things. Although some of those pictures put me off a
:16:50. > :16:57.bit. I was feeling hungry until those. No, I could eat that. But I'm
:16:58. > :17:00.in the going to. -- I'm not going to.
:17:01. > :17:02.The National Police Dog Trials have been held in Portishead today.
:17:03. > :17:05.Teams from across the UK were tested on how they tackle armed offenders
:17:06. > :17:07.and there were points for agility and obedience.
:17:08. > :17:09.Local schools were invited to watch, and meet the newest recruits,
:17:10. > :17:13.The event continues over the next two days.
:17:14. > :17:19.One of the country's best known and most loved
:17:20. > :17:23.locomotives is stopping off in the West this evening.
:17:24. > :17:25.The Flying Scotsman will arrive in Gloucester just after 8.00pm.
:17:26. > :17:28.She'll stay there for half an hour before steaming on past Cam
:17:29. > :17:30.and Dursley arriving at Bristol Parkway
:17:31. > :17:42.If you can't catch a glimpse, there will be another chance
:17:43. > :17:45.to see her when she passes by again on Tuesday.
:17:46. > :17:49.You can have the Flying Scotsman I'll have the puppy. I'll have the
:17:50. > :17:51.takeaway! One of the country's
:17:52. > :17:53.most iconic buildings It's exactly 250 years
:17:54. > :17:56.since the first foundation stone was laid in the Royal
:17:57. > :17:58.Crescent in Bath. Imogen Sellers is in
:17:59. > :18:01.Bath for us tonight - Imogen it hasn't changed
:18:02. > :18:12.much has it? No, you are right, Alex but I think
:18:13. > :18:18.you also have to agree that in this early evening sunshine the Royal
:18:19. > :18:23.Crescent couldn't look any more splendid. When John Wood the Younger
:18:24. > :18:26.first started to build it it was considered a radical piece of
:18:27. > :18:31.architecture. It took more than seven years to finish the terrace of
:18:32. > :18:34.30 houses but while the inside of these buildings has obviously
:18:35. > :18:39.changed quite a will the over the years, the George an facade has
:18:40. > :18:43.barely changed at all in more than two-and-a-half centuries. So much
:18:44. > :18:54.history. So many memories. And I've picked out just a few.
:18:55. > :18:57.Newsreel: People come from far afield toed a mire the Georgian
:18:58. > :19:01.Surely this Crescent of houses, the Royal Crescent stands supreme.
:19:02. > :19:03.This BBC archive may be 60 years' old but very little has changed,
:19:04. > :19:05.except perhaps news reports like this one from 1964.
:19:06. > :19:08.Gosh, they're jolly heavy things, I wouldn't have liked to have been
:19:09. > :19:12.a bearer or a flunky or whatever they were in those days.
:19:13. > :19:32.I don't know we always sort of wanted a sudan chair and it
:19:33. > :19:38.There is a staircase suitable for Sudan chairs,
:19:39. > :19:48.What do you mean, specially-made for them?
:19:49. > :19:50.Yes, this staircase is specially constructed for it.
:19:51. > :19:59.I have to get back to Bristol in a hurry and it takes so long by car.
:20:00. > :20:17.Well, there we are, two-abled body gentlemen have miraculously appeared
:20:18. > :20:20.to take me off for Bristol but provided we're back in time
:20:21. > :20:26.From the banning of tour buses to the colour of the front doors,
:20:27. > :20:29.this World Heritage Site has always been a talking point.
:20:30. > :20:31.I think the Royal Crescent is certainly one of the most
:20:32. > :20:35.I thits an iconic building for this city, for Bath.
:20:36. > :20:37.But it's also one of the key buildings of the 18th century.
:20:38. > :20:40.The museum at number 1 shows what life would've been
:20:41. > :20:43.like for the very first residents but even for visitor,
:20:44. > :20:44.the Crescent was the place to be seen.
:20:45. > :20:47.Something like the Royal Crescent as well as being this
:20:48. > :20:49.extraordinary building, you had to find of think of it,
:20:50. > :20:52.almost as a stage set with this huge pavement that all of these
:20:53. > :20:56.On some days in the summer there could be up to 1,000 members
:20:57. > :20:59.of high society just walking round and about and on the
:21:00. > :21:01.privileged grass over there in front of us.
:21:02. > :21:03.It's still as prestigious an address as it ever was,
:21:04. > :21:06.with the Royal Crescent hotel in numbers 15 and 16.
:21:07. > :21:07.This room would set you back more than ?1,000 a night.
:21:08. > :21:15.So many events have been staged here, from music festival opening
:21:16. > :21:20.nights to the performance of the Three Tenors when the front lawn

:21:27. > :21:32.It's history is as rich as those who can afford to live here. And for the
:21:33. > :21:36.rest of us, well, we can continue to admire the view.
:21:37. > :21:42.TV show, Hollywood movies have all been filmed here. So many celebs
:21:43. > :21:46.have stayed here, troo, Barry man low, Dame Joan kolly, even the
:21:47. > :21:48.former US President, Ronald Reagan is supposed to have said here.
:21:49. > :21:57.Anniversary celebrations kick off tonight. You can see so. Musicians
:21:58. > :22:02.rehearsing, number one will be commissioned with a specially poem.
:22:03. > :22:05.Parties are going on all over Bath tonight because the anniversary
:22:06. > :22:11.coincides with the launch of Bath festival. Celebration for the
:22:12. > :22:16.anniversary going on all over the weekend and throughout the summer.
:22:17. > :22:17.For me all that remains to be said - happy birthday.
:22:18. > :22:28.That was so lovely, thank you. They always say timing is everything
:22:29. > :22:30.and it's definitely true for the West Ccountry gardeners
:22:31. > :22:32.getting ready for the Chelsea After months of hard
:22:33. > :22:35.work and planning - they need everything,
:22:36. > :22:37.including the weather, to come Andy Howard has been to see one man
:22:38. > :22:42.from Miserden near Stroud who knows a thing or two about getting it
:22:43. > :22:45.right - after all he has At this Cotswold nursery,
:22:46. > :22:51.the plants are grown to be They've come from all sides of it
:22:52. > :22:56.too, South Africa, North America, It's 3,000 pots of
:22:57. > :23:02.science and timing. Put in the sun, taken out,
:23:03. > :23:07.given more water, or less, to be ready for the greatest show
:23:08. > :23:10.of them all. So you really are coming in,
:23:11. > :23:15.inspecting every morning, every plant of every batch to think
:23:16. > :23:18.- OK, how can I adjust where you are now because you want
:23:19. > :23:22.everything to look as good as it possibly can for the
:23:23. > :23:23.time the show opens. And even when they leave
:23:24. > :23:27.Gloucestershire, the job isn't done. It's surprising how much a garden
:23:28. > :23:29.will change, especially in the middle of London,
:23:30. > :23:32.during the week. So you design it for when the Queen
:23:33. > :23:36.araves on the Monday. But you equally need to design it
:23:37. > :23:39.for the last person who comes It is every bit as important
:23:40. > :23:43.as the Royal Family. Not that you would say that
:23:44. > :23:46.to the Queen, obviously. These plants are
:23:47. > :23:46.like Chris's family. Some of them do you proud
:23:47. > :23:50.every single day. And some of them
:23:51. > :23:52.are a complete pain. You think - how difficult
:23:53. > :23:58.can that be to grow? You know they all have their own
:23:59. > :24:05.personalities and characters. Some of them you fall in love
:24:06. > :24:11.with and some of them, quite frankly, you just can't wait
:24:12. > :24:13.to get rid of. Well, considering Chris started
:24:14. > :24:15.gardening at 11-years-old and is a Chelsea gold medallist,
:24:16. > :24:18.he gets it right Maybe it's something to do
:24:19. > :24:21.with talking to his plants. I don't know whether they have
:24:22. > :24:28.feelings but sound is about vibration and vibration
:24:29. > :24:29.causes the plant to shake. It is a bit like plants
:24:30. > :24:32.being moved by the wind. You will find that it is a much
:24:33. > :24:36.stockier plant and you get a better So it is true, you should
:24:37. > :24:39.talk to your plants. There's the occasional cuss
:24:40. > :24:42.word actually, with some of them and you know,
:24:43. > :24:44.if you ever want to get a plant
:24:45. > :24:48.into flower, the thing to do - this is your last
:24:49. > :24:49.warning or you're out. Keep going, you're
:24:50. > :24:50.doing really well. You do at times, you know
:24:51. > :24:56.when the rain is running down your back and there's no-one
:24:57. > :24:58.else around and you can't remember the last time you had
:24:59. > :25:01.a coffee and your socks are soggy you do wonder -
:25:02. > :25:04.what am I doing this for? But then you see the plants
:25:05. > :25:21.and think - that's why. Oh, we agree. Thank you so much for
:25:22. > :25:27.that. There was all the rain in Yeovil today.
:25:28. > :25:29.But thanks to the charity Penny Brohn who invited me
:25:30. > :25:31.to host their lunch today - they raised ?55,000
:25:32. > :25:43.Hi, Alex, well, hello everybody, as we have been showing, some dramatic
:25:44. > :25:46.downpours in southern parts of Somerset in particular, Yeovil and
:25:47. > :25:50.around there taking the brunt of torrential thunderstorms. The
:25:51. > :25:55.forecast tomorrow - for a number of you it will be more of the same.
:25:56. > :25:58.There will be a peak period from lunchtime in to about the
:25:59. > :26:02.mid-afternoon where we will see a growing risk of potentially some
:26:03. > :26:06.heavy downpours but either side of that, of a as we have seen today
:26:07. > :26:13.across many districts, dry, sunny, if rather breezy weather. Sunday by
:26:14. > :26:17.contrast, and any one particular point is looking decidedly low. I
:26:18. > :26:22.suspect most if not all areas will have a dry, fine day and feeling
:26:23. > :26:26.warm under the conditions. Here is a wider look at how things are shaping
:26:27. > :26:31.up. Low pressure dominating the pattern for the time being. The
:26:32. > :26:38.focus for the showers into tomorrow will be the remnants of a week
:26:39. > :26:42.occlusion. They should quickly fade away later through the afternoon on
:26:43. > :26:47.Saturday and by Sunday effectively not a shower in sight T doesn't mean
:26:48. > :26:51.there is not a small risk of one but a lot lower risk compared to
:26:52. > :26:56.Saturday. The showers we have I've been watching them from here here at
:26:57. > :26:59.Clifton, they are fading away now, ditto those over Gloucestershire and
:27:00. > :27:04.elsewhere and ultimately a dray night barring one or two showers in
:27:05. > :27:07.the far west of our viewing area. Temperatures tonight could get
:27:08. > :27:10.chilly under largely clear skies, 2-4 not impossible in some parts of
:27:11. > :27:15.Somerset, for example, but tomorrow we should get under way on a largely
:27:16. > :27:19.dry and sunny note again, barring the risk of one or two showers out
:27:20. > :27:23.towards the west but as we head through lunch time, you can see the
:27:24. > :27:27.threat of showers starting to grow. Rumbles of thunder and possibly
:27:28. > :27:31.hail. Much like today, either side of those in sunnier spots, decent
:27:32. > :27:34.enough. 15 likely. We'll get those temperatures higher as we head noop
:27:35. > :27:38.Sunday. It is looking like ultimately next week drying out and
:27:39. > :27:42.warping up. There we go. A lovely treat. Thank you for joining us
:27:43. > :27:46.tonight. Have a lovely weekend. I will see you on Sunday for the
:27:47. > :27:49.Sunday Politics. Bye for now. Bye.
