:00:17. > :00:23.A special report from the Bristol actor Joe Sims as Concorde prepares
:00:24. > :00:30.Tomorrow, though, looks a crisp and sunny day.
:00:31. > :00:41.Pressure is mounting at hospitals across the region with most now
:00:42. > :00:46.The NHS is even warning that patients could be put at risk
:00:47. > :00:50.because of the demands on healthcare, with people
:00:51. > :00:52.being advised to only go to emergency departments
:00:53. > :00:58.Here's our health correspondent, Matthew Hill.
:00:59. > :01:00.Six hospitals in the West are tonight struggling to cope
:01:01. > :01:05.The Bristol Royal Infirmary, the Children's Hospital,
:01:06. > :01:10.Southmead and Weston hospitals along with Yeovil in Somerset and the RHU
:01:11. > :01:14.in Bath are now on the highest possible alert and are asking people
:01:15. > :01:17.not to come to A unless it's life-threatening.
:01:18. > :01:21.A sign of the times is that, at Yeovil Hospital a year ago,
:01:22. > :01:29.Now, the doctor in charge of finances in the Bristol area says
:01:30. > :01:33.this system-wide problem is partly caused by patients coming
:01:34. > :01:37.in with increasingly complex medical conditions.
:01:38. > :01:39.We've had a lot of patients with respiratory illnesses,
:01:40. > :01:42.particularly in the children's hospital, and people who are getting
:01:43. > :01:46.older and frailer are often needing longer lengths of stay,
:01:47. > :01:51.and that's particularly been more marked in the last week or two.
:01:52. > :01:54.Well, for patients where it's not an emergency but who are worried,
:01:55. > :01:57.they can call NHS 111 and, with temperatures expected
:01:58. > :02:01.to plummet to as low as minus five degrees tonight and to continue
:02:02. > :02:03.for much of the month, it seems likely this demand
:02:04. > :02:12.A second man's been charged with murder in connection
:02:13. > :02:17.The body of Mohammed Abdurezek was discovered in Siston
:02:18. > :02:23.42-year-old Karl Cullen and Abdiwahab Abdulahi,
:02:24. > :02:29.who's 22, are due before Bristol Magistrates tomorrow.
:02:30. > :02:33.Four birds have died of avian flu at the Wildfowl Wetlands Trust
:02:34. > :02:38.A strain of the virus has been spreading across Europe.
:02:39. > :02:42.This afternoon, Defra also announced restrictions on all poultry
:02:43. > :02:45.will remain in place until the end of February.
:02:46. > :02:47.Our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve Knibbs, sent this
:02:48. > :02:52.In many ways, I suppose, the news of the outbreak
:02:53. > :02:59.There are thousands of birds on the reserve at this time
:03:00. > :03:02.of the year and staff have been tracking the movement of this avian
:03:03. > :03:05.flu outbreak right across Europe, and there have been outbreaks
:03:06. > :03:09.across the border in Wales and also in Somerset.
:03:10. > :03:11.What happened here was, around Christmas time,
:03:12. > :03:14.a number of birds were found to have died on the reserve.
:03:15. > :03:16.They were sent to government laboratories for analysis
:03:17. > :03:19.and four of them came back, ducks and geese, with confirmation
:03:20. > :03:25.So a very relatively small outbreak here but still something that staff
:03:26. > :03:27.are taking very seriously because there is still a lot
:03:28. > :03:30.of migration to happen over the winter time.
:03:31. > :03:39.What's happening here at Slimbridge is more bio-security measures
:03:40. > :03:42.are being brought in, there are disinfectant mats
:03:43. > :03:45.for vehicles that come on and off the reserve and visitors here,
:03:46. > :03:48.because the reserve is still open for business, visitors will also
:03:49. > :03:51.have to walk through those disinfectant mats and use extra hand
:03:52. > :03:57.And also today, Defra announced an extension
:03:58. > :04:00.to their own restrictions to poultry farmers and also owners
:04:01. > :04:03.of poultry and other captive birds to keep them housed
:04:04. > :04:05.and to increase their own bio-security until
:04:06. > :04:13.So everybody's keeping a close eye on what's
:04:14. > :04:16.Difficult, of course, to control wild birds as they fly
:04:17. > :04:20.in and out but at the forefront of everyone's minds is making sure
:04:21. > :04:26.that the disease doesn't spread to those captive birds in the area.
:04:27. > :04:28.A father of baby twins, who suffered a severe
:04:29. > :04:31.electric shock in Swindon, has now had both hands and a leg
:04:32. > :04:37.Jamie Mines, who's 33, was working as a scaffolder when it
:04:38. > :04:43.Now the community in his home town of Frome have set up a fundraising
:04:44. > :04:46.campaign to support him and his young family.
:04:47. > :04:50.It's already raised more than ?33,000.
:04:51. > :04:59.A young father, a talented sportsman, a great character.
:05:00. > :05:05.But life changed for Jamie Mines in an instant and forever.
:05:06. > :05:09.He was working on this industrial estate in Swindon as a scaffolder
:05:10. > :05:12.just days before Christmas when, in a freak accident,
:05:13. > :05:19.He remains in a critical but stable condition in Southmead having now
:05:20. > :05:26.The initial target was ?10,000, which I think was achieved
:05:27. > :05:29.within about 24 hours, which is extraordinary.
:05:30. > :05:31.Friends have set up an internet fundraising page
:05:32. > :05:38.He and his partner have twins aged just five months.
:05:39. > :05:44.The timing of such an incident before Christmas is awful and it's
:05:45. > :05:47.about how it makes people realise that things can change just
:05:48. > :05:53.Jamie is very strong, fit, healthy young man.
:05:54. > :05:58.His life is going to change so we all need to be there for him.
:05:59. > :06:01.Jamie is a strong character and he is a strong guy.
:06:02. > :06:07.If he comes through it, which he will, hoping that he does,
:06:08. > :06:14.his two little girls will keep him strong and to pull through it.
:06:15. > :06:16.Jamie was a talented footballer who played
:06:17. > :06:20.for a number of local clubs, including Frome Town.
:06:21. > :06:23.Now they have joined the fundraising campaign.
:06:24. > :06:25.We are going to do a little collection on Saturday,
:06:26. > :06:27.which is our first home game since it happened.
:06:28. > :06:31.But also, we are looking to arrange a day for Jamie
:06:32. > :06:35.19th of March, we are going to have a little football tournament.
:06:36. > :06:39.And obviously, we are just trying to support everything
:06:40. > :06:43.The circumstances of the accident here are unclear but the Health and
:06:44. > :06:50.Whatever the cause, the outcome is plainly devastating for a young
:06:51. > :06:56.man with much to live for. Clinton Rogers, BBC Points West.
:06:57. > :07:00.A 34-year-old man has been charged with arson and criminal damage
:07:01. > :07:03.in connection with a fire at a primary school in Wiltshire.
:07:04. > :07:07.The blaze began at the Avenue in Warminster shortly after 3am
:07:08. > :07:15.The children's centre and nursery will open tomorrow as usual.
:07:16. > :07:19.Now, as final preparations are under way to move Concorde at Filton
:07:20. > :07:26.to her new aviation museum later this year, we look back
:07:27. > :07:33.To help us, we invited Bristol actor Joe Simms.
:07:34. > :07:37.216 was one of ten Concordes built at Filton in the 1960s and '70s.
:07:38. > :07:41.It was built by an army of local engineers and designers.
:07:42. > :07:44.After her first UK flight from Filton to RAF Fairford
:07:45. > :07:51.Once in operation, the aircraft cruised at more than twice the speed
:07:52. > :07:55.of sound, flying at an altitude of 60,000 feet.
:07:56. > :08:00.Passengers lapped up the fine dining and paid thousands
:08:01. > :08:06.The fleet was eventually grounded over financial and safety concerns.
:08:07. > :08:10.But although 216's champagne days are over, she's about to be
:08:11. > :08:15.Later in the year, Concorde's going to be moving here,
:08:16. > :08:19.where she's going to be the star attraction of Aerospace Bristol,
:08:20. > :08:23.a ?19 million museum dedicated to the aviation history
:08:24. > :08:29.When it opens in the summer, this attraction will take visitors
:08:30. > :08:33.on a journey from 1910, where Sir George White turned tram
:08:34. > :08:37.sheds into an aircraft factory in Filton, stories
:08:38. > :08:42.about the earliest flight in box kites over the Downs,
:08:43. > :08:45.the Concorde years and, of course, the latest aerospace
:08:46. > :08:53.technology will all be captured under one brilliant Bristolian roof.
:08:54. > :08:56.The museum's taking shape but now an enormous technical
:08:57. > :09:00.Actually getting Concorde in here is going to be one heck
:09:01. > :09:04.of a piece of logistics, which means dismantling some
:09:05. > :09:07.of the building and tarring all the way across the airfield.
:09:08. > :09:09.She's got to come right into position because all
:09:10. > :09:11.the airstairs coming off here will be there
:09:12. > :09:17.So she's got to get there within about a centimetre or so.
:09:18. > :09:19.That's the margin for error, a centimetre?
:09:20. > :09:22.A centimetre here and a metre or so coming in through the building.
:09:23. > :09:26.You're feeling confident, everything's ready and it's
:09:27. > :09:32.It's going to be such a big year for Concorde.
:09:33. > :09:38.And Joe is just one of several well-known faces who'll be our guest
:09:39. > :09:41.reporters in the coming weeks to help us mark 60
:09:42. > :09:59.The skies are continuing to clear tonight. That will lead us into a
:10:00. > :10:06.noticeably cold night but it means that, for tomorrow, the legacy will
:10:07. > :10:13.be sunshine and beautiful crisp dry day but cold. Talking of cold, the
:10:14. > :10:18.night, we will see temperatures between -2 and minus five. One or
:10:19. > :10:22.two spots getting as low as minus six. That risk is diminished as you
:10:23. > :10:26.head out further towards the south-west. The odd patch of
:10:27. > :10:30.freezing fog around but that should not last long. Tomorrow, a lot of
:10:31. > :10:36.sunshine around, the winds will be light. As we head out towards the
:10:37. > :10:40.extreme west, bigger cloud around, but that will be the exception.
:10:41. > :10:46.Elsewhere, very little cloud until later on in the evening period. Even
:10:47. > :10:53.then, you can see blues returning on the map. A comparatively cold night.
:10:54. > :10:59.Tomorrow, temperatures and the range of 2-5 C. The winds will be light
:11:00. > :11:00.however. You will see the milder theme developing through the course
:11:01. > :11:03.of the weekend. Rain later Temperatures creeping up a notch or
:11:04. > :11:09.two and turning milder into the weekend.
:11:10. > :11:17.A guarantee on your journey to work tomorrow, if you are nipping out to
:11:18. > :11:22.the shop for a paper, somebody will talk about how cold it is. Looking
:11:23. > :11:25.at today, the weather front pushing Southwest, mild air stay in
:11:26. > :11:29.south-west, but behind it is colder air from the Arctic. Behind it,
:11:30. > :11:33.windy conditions. Bleak across northern Scotland, a cold day with
:11:34. > :11:38.temperatures struggling to get above two. If you think that's cold, look
:11:39. > :11:42.at what's happening outside as we speak. Temperatures falling below
:11:43. > :11:49.freezing quite widely across the country and towards dawn they could
:11:50. > :11:52.be as low as -8 in rural parts of Oxfordshire. I guarantee you will be
:11:53. > :11:56.scraping the ice of the car windscreens first thing in the
:11:57. > :11:58.morning. Some cloud running down the North Sea coast and some cloud
:11:59. > :11:59.across Lincolnshire and
