:00:12. > :00:15.Could there be a new location for Glastonbury Festival?

:00:16. > :00:17.As the event faces criticism over traffic chaos -

:00:18. > :00:25.Michael Eavis says it may be on the move.

:00:26. > :00:30.It would be a huge loss for Somerset. If you went there forever,

:00:31. > :00:32.would it not? A West MP is so worried

:00:33. > :00:36.about the effects of social media on teenagers, he's demanding

:00:37. > :00:44.an inquiry. And the rail will become confined

:00:45. > :00:48.eventually to the west and tomorrow will be a dry day for most, details

:00:49. > :00:50.at the end of the programme. -- rain.

:00:51. > :00:53.The Glastonbury Festival could move to a new site,

:00:54. > :00:57.Founder Michael Eavis told Points West he's in serious

:00:58. > :00:59.negotiations with landowners - but won't say where it might be.

:01:00. > :01:01.It comes as Mendip Council has criticised traffic management

:01:02. > :01:09.Our Somerset Correspondent Clinton Rogers reports.

:01:10. > :01:15.Taking me on a tour of the festival site this morning, Michael Eavis

:01:16. > :01:18.gave the strongest possible hint that the days of the Pyramid Stage

:01:19. > :01:24.Mind you he's threatened to move this event before -

:01:25. > :01:27.normally at a time when he's negotiating with neighbouring land

:01:28. > :01:32.owners whose fields he needs to make the festival happen.

:01:33. > :01:34.I'll move it up towards the Midlands.

:01:35. > :01:38.with land agents to use another working farm 100 miles

:01:39. > :01:45.north of Glastonbury, though he won't say exactly.

:01:46. > :01:50.the Midlands, it wouldn't be the Glastonbury Festival any more.

:01:51. > :01:56.There is nowhere else in the world really

:01:57. > :01:57.that can produce the same show that

:01:58. > :02:14.could be 2019 he says and thereafter every five years.

:02:15. > :02:19.Now all of this comes on a day when Mendip council has issued

:02:20. > :02:21.a report criticising traffic management at

:02:22. > :02:26.A year when people were left to sleep in their

:02:27. > :02:27.stranded cars, when school buses

:02:28. > :02:31.Most of the problems were caused by torrential rain making it hard

:02:32. > :02:39.to be better contingency planning next year.

:02:40. > :02:42.In response festival organisers say they are already working to make

:02:43. > :02:45.roads on the farm better - and next year they have agreed

:02:46. > :02:48.to use the Bath and West Showground as an emergency car park should

:02:49. > :02:55.the worst happen. Clinton Rogers, BBC Points West.

:02:56. > :02:58.Well earlier I spoke to the BBC's Arts Editor Will Gompertz

:02:59. > :03:02.and asked him what he made of the plan...

:03:03. > :03:05.Well, I don't know, they have got an incredibly popular festival that

:03:06. > :03:08.sells out in nanoseconds and yet they also run a farm

:03:09. > :03:10.which is a working farm, they have to use that

:03:11. > :03:13.and when the weather is bad it gets totally trashed

:03:14. > :03:24.You either don't put the show on or you go somewhere else?

:03:25. > :03:26.It's not going to be the same though is it really?

:03:27. > :03:29.That particular festival, Glastonbury, lives at Worthy Farm,

:03:30. > :03:39.It's the home of the Eavis', Michael and his daughter, Emily,

:03:40. > :03:45.I do think they have an awful lot of experience both Michael Eavis

:03:46. > :03:48.and his daughter Emily of putting on the show.

:03:49. > :03:52.They also do know what they own and what they hold and what it means

:03:53. > :03:55.to people and they won't muck about with it in a way

:03:56. > :03:58.I don't think they are interested in that, they're interested

:03:59. > :04:01.in giving people what they want in the Glastonbury way and I assume

:04:02. > :04:05.that they've done a lot of research and given it a lot of thought

:04:06. > :04:07.and then found a site, albeit perhaps outside of Somerset

:04:08. > :04:13.A lot of these bands come to Glastonbury because Glastonbury

:04:14. > :04:15.has this image of this mystical site, this mystical festival,

:04:16. > :04:20.do you think it would lose that appeal to the people who perform?

:04:21. > :04:26.I don't know, I would hope rock and rollers are a bit more flexible

:04:27. > :04:28.and weren't so dyed in the wool establishment types that they would

:04:29. > :04:32.want to go to the same place and do the same thing.

:04:33. > :04:35.There is that thing, I performed in that field

:04:36. > :04:37.on the Pyramid Stage, where it was a great performance

:04:38. > :04:40.but if it is a different venue, get out there,

:04:41. > :04:45.What's your personal opinion, where would you like to see it?

:04:46. > :04:50.What a difficult question that is to ask me!

:04:51. > :05:04.It is not just the Pyramid Stage and the other stages, it is massive.

:05:05. > :05:06.It's somewhere that can contain the whole thing where people can

:05:07. > :05:09.wander around and feel they are part of a festival.

:05:10. > :05:12.It sort of is a ready-made village, it has all the arts and crafts

:05:13. > :05:16.and beer and food and all the rest of it and the hills.

:05:17. > :05:19.If they can deliver all that and make it feel like Glastonbury,

:05:20. > :05:30.The lorry which killed four people in Bath has been likened

:05:31. > :05:32.to a revolver with a bullet in one of its chambers.

:05:33. > :05:35.The trial of driver Phillip Potter heard his defence barrister say he'd

:05:36. > :05:37.been given a "wholly defective vehicle" and an accident

:05:38. > :05:41.He denies causing death by dangerous driving.

:05:42. > :05:48.Owner Matthew Gordon and mechanic Peter Wood deny all charges.

:05:49. > :05:51.The MP for Cheltenham is calling the bosses of social media sites

:05:52. > :05:54.to parliament for an inquiry in the New Year.

:05:55. > :05:56.Alex Chalk is worried about the effects of the digital age

:05:57. > :05:59.on the mental health of teenagers leading to stress and anxiety.

:06:00. > :06:17.We're all hooked on our devices - especially teenagers.

:06:18. > :06:19.Though even they underestimate just by how much.

:06:20. > :06:26.How many times a day do you check your phone? 30 times. About 50.

:06:27. > :06:28.A recent study suggests we check our devices

:06:29. > :06:35.Those we met at this Cheltenham school now use a giddying array

:06:36. > :06:42.of apps to keep in touch... And she's not alone...

:06:43. > :06:57.It's an addiction really and I know adults that are falling into that

:06:58. > :07:00.habit of a deep anxiety when they don't have their phone

:07:01. > :07:03.with them - or whatever - so they're constantly checking

:07:04. > :07:05.to see if they've had messages or likes.

:07:06. > :07:06.What they're looking for is validation and acceptance

:07:07. > :07:08.and that becomes addictive because they're constantly looking

:07:09. > :07:11.for that affirmation in this virtual world whereas in reality that should

:07:12. > :07:14.The Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk is particularly concerned

:07:15. > :07:19.I'm not saying that all social media is bad. I am saying that were too

:07:20. > :07:22.much is taking place and in particular, the bullying is taking

:07:23. > :07:24.place online, I knew -- think social media: is it a step up to their

:07:25. > :07:26.responsibilities. He has called for an enquiry in Parliament. They

:07:27. > :07:29.insist they already have ways of blocking abuse, Facebook said it had

:07:30. > :07:31.introduced new features and tools to help keep people safe and it had

:07:32. > :07:41.launched a parent portal this week with tips for talking to children

:07:42. > :07:43.about their use of the site and that it was governed by a clear set of

:07:44. > :07:45.guidelines for acceptable behaviour. Our devices can cope with any number

:07:46. > :07:48.of swipes likes and online gripes, of swipes likes and online gripes,

:07:49. > :07:51.one of the questions the enquiry will look that will be can we?

:07:52. > :07:53.Homelessness is a problem across the West this christmas,

:07:54. > :07:55.with people sleeping rough in many areas.

:07:56. > :07:58.Bristol has around 74 bedding down on the streets -

:07:59. > :08:00.this doubles if you include those sleeping in unsafe

:08:01. > :08:04.But today the landlord of a pub in North Somerset organised for some

:08:05. > :08:06.of Bristol's homeless to receive a bit of festive cheer.

:08:07. > :08:22.He has cooked for Tiger Woods and Princess Anne but today it is for

:08:23. > :08:28.people who really need it. Sarah has not had a Christmas dinner for eight

:08:29. > :08:35.years. It reminds me of my mum and dad, growing up. I lost my dad eight

:08:36. > :08:39.years ago to cancer and then 18 months afterwards, my mum. It is

:08:40. > :08:43.also an emotional time for Matthew, he slept in a subway last night. It

:08:44. > :08:52.is awful being homeless at Christmas, it is very hard. I'm not

:08:53. > :08:57.eligible, I have not got a local connection to Bristol. After the

:08:58. > :09:01.meal, everyone was sized up for clothes and shoes. Thank you. Those

:09:02. > :09:05.making the difference is the owner of the pub and a whole host of

:09:06. > :09:12.volunteers in a group called the Street life cafe. I have worked with

:09:13. > :09:16.people, who have been knocked down and cannot get back up. Bringing

:09:17. > :09:20.them to something like this, it makes them feel part of the

:09:21. > :09:28.community again. Thank you ever so much. The dinner is lovely. Perfect.

:09:29. > :09:32.And quite emotional. Yes. And now, this isn't just a one-off event, the

:09:33. > :09:36.pub says it will set up a Christmas dinner next year, too.

:09:37. > :09:43.I'll leave you with Ian who has the forecast.

:09:44. > :09:51.Thank you. Good evening. Over the next couple of days we will undergo

:09:52. > :09:55.a change in the weather as we lead up towards Christmas in the second

:09:56. > :09:59.half of the week, much more unsettled patter with stronger winds

:10:00. > :10:03.as well. It will be all change. Tomorrow, the winds will not be much

:10:04. > :10:07.of a feature and I am hopeful for most of you, neither will rain,

:10:08. > :10:12.because there will be a balance towards dry and relatively bright

:10:13. > :10:17.weather, certainly in the east. Out towards the west, more cloud and the

:10:18. > :10:21.chance of some patchy light rain. Plenty of bad around, particularly

:10:22. > :10:26.in Central and western areas, all about getting squeezed further to

:10:27. > :10:29.the rest, some clear spells developing out to these, lowest

:10:30. > :10:33.temperatures are about two or three degrees. Tomorrow, you will find out

:10:34. > :10:37.towards the West, still a lot of cloud for the most part, Exmoor for

:10:38. > :10:41.example, the chance of patchy outbreaks of rain or drizzle and

:10:42. > :11:00.perhaps a bit of that reaching out from the south coast into

:11:01. > :11:03.The rest of the weekend, some rain around, windy, but with dry and

:11:04. > :11:15.bright spells. Heavy weather is brewing, it will

:11:16. > :11:21.not reach us just yet. It will take a good few days before the stormy

:11:22. > :11:24.weather reaches us. At the moment, it's just potential, nothing is

:11:25. > :11:29.certain, but it will be different to what we've had over the last few

:11:30. > :11:33.weeks, it's been so calm. We have a jet stream raging out of North

:11:34. > :11:40.America making a beeline for the UK. It has peaked at jet level height,

:11:41. > :11:46.blowing in excess of 200 mph, and it might whip up to max storms we are

:11:47. > :11:47.watching. Friday had coming close to northern Britain, and then
