She made the announcement at a news conference earlier today.

:00:00.:00:00.

Our sports correspondent, Katie Gornall, has

:00:00.:00:00.

Her report contains some flash photography.

:00:00.:00:08.

There was a time when promoter Frank Warren wasn't interested

:00:09.:00:16.

in women's boxing, but Nicola Adams changed his mind.

:00:17.:00:18.

This is a fighter used to breaking new ground.

:00:19.:00:20.

Last year in Rio, she became the first Briton to

:00:21.:00:24.

successfully defend an Olympic boxing title in nearly 100 years.

:00:25.:00:28.

She is also the reigning world, European and Commonwealth champion.

:00:29.:00:31.

As an amateur, she told me she has nothing left to prove.

:00:32.:00:34.

There are a lot of goals in the professional

:00:35.:00:42.

ranks to achieve, becoming a world champion and European champion.

:00:43.:00:44.

There are so many goals to achieve in the professional ranks.

:00:45.:00:47.

Raising the game again, and just making,

:00:48.:00:51.

hopefully trying to make, women's boxing on a par with the men's.

:00:52.:00:59.

Adams is one of a number of Olympic champions to have turned

:01:00.:01:02.

The Irish star Katie Taylor recently featured on the undercard of Anthony

:01:03.:01:06.

It is hoped boxing could follow the lead

:01:07.:01:09.

of mixed martial arts, where

:01:10.:01:10.

female fighters regularly topped the bill.

:01:11.:01:13.

This is a different time, a different era.

:01:14.:01:15.

I think that the standard has improved, that's why I

:01:16.:01:19.

actually want to get involved in it, because it is a better standard.

:01:20.:01:23.

I think that for us, she will prove that.

:01:24.:01:29.

Adams will have to wait until April to make her debut in

:01:30.:01:32.

Manchester before a fight in her home city of Leeds in May.

:01:33.:01:35.

So far, she has done everything asked of

:01:36.:01:37.

Now it is time to see if she can live up to her billing once

:01:38.:01:41.

A family's desperate search for their son.

:01:42.:02:04.

Deakon Wilkins vanished after leaving a Bristol

:02:05.:02:07.

How one of our BBC local radio stations rescued the career

:02:08.:02:15.

Tomorrow I've got to do our press release for my triumphant return to

:02:16.:02:30.

the BBC. They are putting me on BBC Radio Bristol for ten hours.

:02:31.:02:36.

The Met Office is warning they will be dense and destructive fog

:02:37.:02:40.

tomorrow. Details at the end of the programme.

:02:41.:02:41.

The family of a 24-year-old from Weston-super-Mare who hasn't

:02:42.:02:45.

been seen for nine days say they're desperate to know where he is.

:02:46.:02:48.

Deakon Wilkins was last seen at Motion nightclub, where

:02:49.:02:51.

His family haven't heard anything since.

:02:52.:02:54.

Liz Beacon has sent us this update from the last place he was seen.

:02:55.:02:57.

Tonight, police are continuing to trawl through the CCTV that they do

:02:58.:03:00.

have, trying to piece together Deakon Wilkins' last movements.

:03:01.:03:03.

What they do know is that he left this nightclub behind

:03:04.:03:06.

last Saturday morning after a night out when he went out on Friday

:03:07.:03:14.

His parents have heard nothing since that day and I met up with

:03:15.:03:21.

them earlier on and for them, it's been a long nine days.

:03:22.:03:24.

Every time we have some friends around, somebody hugs me.

:03:25.:03:27.

I mean, we're trying to keep busy, doing the social media.

:03:28.:03:44.

It's been four or five hours a day, just thanking everybody.

:03:45.:03:47.

Every day is a long day. Just...

:03:48.:03:51.

You will be here if the phone goes or a knock on the door,

:03:52.:03:55.

Deakon's parents say Facebook has been vital in helping them

:03:56.:04:02.

They've had a huge response and they are continuing to

:04:03.:04:09.

sift through many of the messages that they've had.

:04:10.:04:11.

There have been some sightings but sadly, they

:04:12.:04:15.

So tomorrow, they will continue with their search.

:04:16.:04:18.

They're meeting at 11 o'clock in Cabot Circus and they hope that

:04:19.:04:21.

many members of the public will turn out to help them.

:04:22.:04:27.

The Police Federation has given its backing to two

:04:28.:04:34.

of its officers after a former race-relations champion was tasered

:04:35.:04:37.

after being mistaken for a dangerous wanted man.

:04:38.:04:39.

The federation, which represents rank-and-file officers,

:04:40.:04:43.

says Ras Adunbi would not say who he was.

:04:44.:04:45.

Mr Adunbi claims the attack was racist.

:04:46.:04:47.

The matter's been referred to the Independent Police

:04:48.:04:49.

The police have launched a murder investigation into the death

:04:50.:04:56.

Her body was found in a house on Pilgrims Way last Thursday.

:04:57.:05:01.

Police say they are linking the incident to a fatal accident

:05:02.:05:04.

on Kewstoke Road which happened on the same day.

:05:05.:05:06.

A 70-year-old man died at the scene after his car crashed into a tree.

:05:07.:05:11.

The mother of a young man found dead on an island says she believes

:05:12.:05:15.

Josh Clayton from Somerset disappeared on Tresco

:05:16.:05:20.

in the Scilly Isles but there was never a criminal investigation.

:05:21.:05:22.

Now the coroner has ordered the police to

:05:23.:05:25.

Before I take my last breath, we will know

:05:26.:05:33.

what happened to my boy. Without a shadow of the doubt,

:05:34.:05:35.

we will find out and we will get justice for Josh.

:05:36.:05:38.

The final resting place of Josh Clayton, aged 23.

:05:39.:05:47.

But was his death just a terrible accident?

:05:48.:05:49.

I believe it was done through third-party involvement.

:05:50.:05:55.

His family have now spent the best part

:05:56.:05:58.

of ?70,000 trying to get to the truth.

:05:59.:06:04.

They're convinced the police got it wrong.

:06:05.:06:06.

I've had a meeting with Devon and Cornwall Police, a senior officer

:06:07.:06:10.

from Devon and Cornwall Police, who has assured me he will be

:06:11.:06:15.

reviewing and hopefully, look for any gaps

:06:16.:06:20.

that happened throughout the investigation.

:06:21.:06:23.

It definitely wasn't an accident. Definitely.

:06:24.:06:26.

When Isles of Scilly police found the body

:06:27.:06:33.

of Josh Clayton 16 months ago, they did put it down

:06:34.:06:36.

He'd been attending a private party on Tresco, where he'd been

:06:37.:06:42.

His body was discovered ten days later.

:06:43.:06:45.

But last week, an inquest into his death

:06:46.:06:47.

was dramatically halted when the new evidence emerged.

:06:48.:06:49.

This man, Leroy Thomas, told the hearing that he'd

:06:50.:06:53.

witnessed Josh arguing with a group of men after leaving the party.

:06:54.:06:56.

The coroner said the police needed to reinvestigate.

:06:57.:07:01.

Which has given the family some hope.

:07:02.:07:04.

Up until now, they'd been asking for a new force

:07:05.:07:06.

As far as they were concerned, he was a drugged up drunk,

:07:07.:07:15.

that had been washed out to sea, and didn't think of anything else.

:07:16.:07:17.

The police force have issued a stored

:07:18.:07:21.

statement, simply saying, "We were only made aware

:07:22.:07:23.

of the new evidence at the inquest and our carrying

:07:24.:07:28.

of the new evidence at the inquest and are carrying

:07:29.:07:31.

The former Chief Constable of Gloucestershire police

:07:32.:07:33.

has told us it is unusual for an inquest to be halted in this

:07:34.:07:37.

way and says the Devon and Cornwall Police

:07:38.:07:39.

will now need to look again at their investigation.

:07:40.:07:41.

The Devon and Cornwall Police will now presumably have to go back,

:07:42.:07:43.

first to the witness, who's added this new information

:07:44.:07:46.

at quite a late stage and interview him again to see

:07:47.:07:48.

whether he's got something different to say, formally in writing and how

:07:49.:07:51.

that differs from his previous account and it seems to differ

:07:52.:07:55.

materially from his previous account, so that's

:07:56.:07:57.

Problem number two is there was a party and there

:07:58.:08:02.

they've already interviewed those people once, they've now got to try

:08:03.:08:06.

and retrace these people, maybe interview them again.

:08:07.:08:08.

The family say they simply want the truth and they won't

:08:09.:08:10.

Prince Harry has been in Wiltshire today to see how former members

:08:11.:08:19.

of the armed forces are being helped with their mental health.

:08:20.:08:22.

The Prince spent the afternoon at the Help for Heroes

:08:23.:08:26.

It supports ex-service personnel and their families

:08:27.:08:31.

with issues such as anxiety, stress and depression.

:08:32.:08:39.

There is a risk at the moment that people get used to experiencing no

:08:40.:08:46.

mood experiencing, stress and anxiety in thinking they don't need

:08:47.:08:51.

the support of and it can raise awareness and say we can help you if

:08:52.:08:54.

you can recognise those symptoms in yourself.

:08:55.:08:56.

The Prince met just a few of the thousand people who have been

:08:57.:09:00.

helped by what is known as the hidden-wounds service.

:09:01.:09:03.

The ex-wife of the legendary entertainer Kenny Everett has been

:09:04.:09:05.

speaking about how an offer of a job on BBC Radio Bristol

:09:06.:09:09.

The DJ was hired by the station in 1971, shortly after his on-air

:09:10.:09:14.

His editor and his producer Kate Adie told me about about

:09:15.:09:24.

the risk they all took putting him back on air.

:09:25.:09:27.

# the voice of radio 1. #

:09:28.:09:31.

In the late 1960s, Kenny Everett was the master

:09:32.:09:33.

Then in 1971 came the fall - he was sacked from Radio one.

:09:34.:09:39.

He really was, because the BBC, it was his idea of heaven.

:09:40.:09:47.

I think he'd liked to have been dead.

:09:48.:10:01.

Without a job and his career seemingly over, he took an offer

:10:02.:10:04.

from a young station manager at radio Bristol.

:10:05.:10:06.

But it wasn't altogether popular with the senior

:10:07.:10:13.

We had a young lady on our staff at Radio Bristol who was a toughie.

:10:14.:10:24.

Somebody like Ken was a matter little, causing great joy

:10:25.:10:31.

for the listeners and is not a little worry for the men in suits.

:10:32.:10:35.

This career-kickstart on Radio Bristol led to other slots

:10:36.:10:40.

And eventually, a return to superstardom.

:10:41.:10:49.

hold everything! I'm still very proud of my contact

:10:50.:10:58.

with Kenny Everett and I still love the clips that come upon the

:10:59.:11:00.

television, the Little jingles you hear on radio. The Rod Stewart

:11:01.:11:09.

sketch. All in the best possible taste!

:11:10.:11:11.

And you can catch up on that on Inside Out West on the iplayer.

:11:12.:11:20.

That it from us tonight. More news on the BBC website and your local

:11:21.:11:29.

BBC Regis stations. We're back at breakfast tomorrow from 6:30am. Good

:11:30.:11:36.

night. Ian has the forecast. The weather is not in the best possible

:11:37.:11:39.

taste if you're heading out on the roads across the West Country, we've

:11:40.:11:44.

got some decidedly foggy conditions already across some parts of the

:11:45.:11:49.

region and by tomorrow morning, that could be quite plentiful, at least

:11:50.:11:53.

in some areas. Once we clear fog out of the way, it will be otherwise day

:11:54.:12:00.

with dry conditions, some bright spells, varying cloud. Met Office

:12:01.:12:05.

warning came into force and is in force into tomorrow. Don't pass the

:12:06.:12:10.

M5, south-west which, visibly -- visibility is down to about 50

:12:11.:12:14.

metres. We could see those conditions repeated in parts of the

:12:15.:12:17.

region as the night wears on so take it easy. Temperatures tonight down

:12:18.:12:24.

to below freezing across many areas, freezing fog would be the net

:12:25.:12:29.

result, we will find that through the course of tomorrow, some of that

:12:30.:12:34.

will be slow to clear. In other areas, without fog or it's lifted, a

:12:35.:12:40.

decent enough day with cloud, generally light breeze and remaining

:12:41.:12:44.

dry and temperatures will vary, so where we stick will fog, up to about

:12:45.:12:50.

six or seven Celsius. Wednesday, still the threat of some

:12:51.:12:53.

For the weekend we will have dry weather with sunny spells and it

:12:54.:12:55.

will be a little bit milder. Good evening. We are continuing to

:12:56.:13:06.

see huge righty in the weather. Getting the detail right is proving

:13:07.:13:14.

to be a challenge. This was in Pembrokeshire and other parts of the

:13:15.:13:19.

UK were gloomy throughout the day. The fog is thickening up right now.

:13:20.:13:24.

Particularly pool on the M5 in south-west England. Very foggy

:13:25.:13:32.

across parts of the West Country. This fog is tending to spread its

:13:33.:13:35.

way further
