:00:59. > :01:06.The Class A drugs are from around the Bonville area.

:01:07. > :01:10.She had a difficult adolescence, including drug use.

:01:11. > :01:14.At her most vulnerable, she handed out leaflets

:01:15. > :01:23.We had to make sure that we would look OK and that we had basically

:01:24. > :01:25.dressed like a load of prostitutes, stood on a street corner.

:01:26. > :01:29.Did social services know about you being there?

:01:30. > :01:33.People were telling them that I was walking around dressed

:01:34. > :01:35.like that, handing out a load of leaflets in town,

:01:36. > :01:42.These are not the leaflets but she says she even

:01:43. > :01:47.used her own image on them and that she helped out inside.

:01:48. > :01:50.I have cleaned quite a few rooms in there before and, like,

:01:51. > :01:55.The way that it's all done, it's like a show.

:01:56. > :01:59.It's like they're ready to show off their bodies and a man would sit

:02:00. > :02:02.in a chair and all the women would walk in in their underwear

:02:03. > :02:05.and he would literally get to pick which one he wanted.

:02:06. > :02:08.For the last ten years, the woman with the lease

:02:09. > :02:09.on the brothel has been Natalie Davis.

:02:10. > :02:17.It is clearly more than a massage parlour.

:02:18. > :02:20.There is Natalie's mobile number, and it says, "We aim to keep

:02:21. > :02:27.Working in a brothel is not illegal but running one

:02:28. > :02:30.is, so is Butterfly's still operating?

:02:31. > :02:42.We sent in an undercover reporter to find out.

:02:43. > :02:46.At this point, we made our excuses and left.

:02:47. > :02:51.These confidential documents show that the council and Avon

:02:52. > :02:53.and Somerset Police discussed Butterfly's and teenage girls

:02:54. > :03:02.At that time when she came to us we gave her advice and very

:03:03. > :03:04.strong support around how dangerous that was.

:03:05. > :03:11.Your staff should have been aware of that.

:03:12. > :03:13.Well, my staff passed that information on to the police

:03:14. > :03:15.in regard to an establishment that was a massage parlour

:03:16. > :03:20.using a 15-year-old to distribute leaflets and the police took that

:03:21. > :03:23.information and then did some checks and we have had no more referrals

:03:24. > :03:39.through to us around young people frequenting that establishment.

:03:40. > :03:46.Natalie didn't respond to our enquiries so I went to see her.

:03:47. > :03:51.Why are you implying 15-year-old girls to work in your brothel? Do

:03:52. > :03:58.you know they are 15? Natalie has closed both of the

:03:59. > :03:59.curtains, clearly she doesn't want to talk to us about these

:04:00. > :04:00.allegations. The council and Avon

:04:01. > :04:02.and Somerset Police say they are proactive and serious

:04:03. > :04:05.about safeguarding and will act Police say they found no

:04:06. > :04:08.evidence of underage girls Despite all the problems in Weston,

:04:09. > :04:12.Amber has turned her life around, but it hasn't been easy,

:04:13. > :04:37.and what about all the other You can see the full investigation

:04:38. > :04:38.for this week's Inside Out West two, which is available on the BBC

:04:39. > :04:39.website. The police are carrying out a murder

:04:40. > :04:41.investigation tonight after a woman's body was found

:04:42. > :04:43.in a house in Bristol. A man has been arrested

:04:44. > :04:46.on suspicion of murder following the discovery

:04:47. > :04:47.at Kensington Park in Easton. Avon and Somerset Police have

:04:48. > :04:50.referred the case to the Independent Police Complaints Commission

:04:51. > :04:52.because there had been police contact with

:04:53. > :04:56.the woman before she died. A massive brawl broke out

:04:57. > :04:58.in a bar in Trowbridge, leaving a police officer

:04:59. > :05:03.and a number of bystanders injured. The police are now trying to find

:05:04. > :05:06.out how the fight broke out and are studying phone footage taken

:05:07. > :05:08.on the night. The Albany Palace bar in Trowbridge,

:05:09. > :05:15.erupting into violence in the early I've never seen

:05:16. > :05:21.nothing like it, mate. 21-year-old lorry driver

:05:22. > :05:23.Tommy Arkle from Devizes filmed His friend had to be rushed to

:05:24. > :05:28.hospital in Bath, covered in blood. I walked down to the bar with a few

:05:29. > :05:32.mates and had a few drinks. Turned round and then next minute

:05:33. > :05:36.a bottle came across, hit me on the head and then I think

:05:37. > :05:40.I got hit on the eye as well You wouldn't expect it in a little

:05:41. > :05:49.town, just to go out for a couple of drinks,

:05:50. > :05:51.come back and... This police sergeant

:05:52. > :05:54.knows Trowbridge well. I think there are always incidents,

:05:55. > :06:05.where alcohol is involved, there is always the possibility

:06:06. > :06:07.of there being disorder, but I think it is unusual to have

:06:08. > :06:10.that sort of scale of disorder Wetherspoon's says the fight caused

:06:11. > :06:13.distress for customers One-off, perhaps, but it

:06:14. > :06:26.still raises concerns about safety Usually the little ones can be

:06:27. > :06:34.controlled and it doesn't really bother you but when something

:06:35. > :06:37.like that big is happening you just want to kind of step back

:06:38. > :06:41.and there is no way to get out. It doesn't make you

:06:42. > :06:45.feel very safe, no. I see little fights all the time,

:06:46. > :06:48.but they get controlled, and big ones like that don't seem

:06:49. > :06:50.to occur regularly. But, no, I think they should be

:06:51. > :06:55.ashamed of themselves. Police are appealing

:06:56. > :06:57.for anyone who witnessed Bristol Rovers have said

:06:58. > :07:05.they will not be pursuing their complaint against Bristol City

:07:06. > :07:09.over the transfer of Matty Taylor. Rovers had said they

:07:10. > :07:12.were going to make an official complaint

:07:13. > :07:14.to the English Football League, following the 26-year-old

:07:15. > :07:18.striker's move last month. Taylor was the first player to leave

:07:19. > :07:29.Rovers for City for 30 years. This is Stephen Sykes,

:07:30. > :07:42.a talented trombonist who has played with orchestras and bands

:07:43. > :07:47.all over the country. But since this video was shot he has

:07:48. > :07:50.been too ill to play. He has an aggressive cancer,

:07:51. > :07:53.and is now turning to his fellow The cancer's got into my bone

:07:54. > :08:07.marrow, which means that without a stem cell transplant,

:08:08. > :08:13.it's not looking too good, really. Normally this would be OK

:08:14. > :08:16.because there is the donor system now, but they can't find a donor

:08:17. > :08:20.for me anywhere in the world, They need to get as close a match

:08:21. > :08:26.as possible to avoid additional feeling like I ought to stand

:08:27. > :08:34.outside the supermarket and sort of With their connections

:08:35. > :08:44.with the music world, his family have appealed

:08:45. > :08:47.to other musicians. In Cornwall, members

:08:48. > :08:51.of St Austell Town Band Take the swabs out, swab the inside

:08:52. > :09:03.of your cheek and just put them back in here and we'll send

:09:04. > :09:06.them back off and then see if it is a match

:09:07. > :09:08.for anybody to help. Are you quite impressed with the way

:09:09. > :09:11.the brass community has I'm not surprised but,

:09:12. > :09:14.yeah, I'm impressed. We've got the whole band and also

:09:15. > :09:17.the whole banding world in Cornwall. Yesterday, Facebook and Twitter just

:09:18. > :09:19.went wild with people from all over the county saying,

:09:20. > :09:21."My pack's arrived, There were so many people

:09:22. > :09:25.yesterday just doing it that, as more potential donors come

:09:26. > :09:43.forward, their samples could also I'll leave you in the capable

:09:44. > :10:01.hands of Jennifer Bartam, Good evening. We saw the sunshine

:10:02. > :10:05.today after a few days of gloomy weather. Through the next few days

:10:06. > :10:10.it will stay mild but with a bit more cloud. Through the night the

:10:11. > :10:15.wind will ease down from the east. We will see the cloud rolling in

:10:16. > :10:19.from the west and temperatures will fall back to four or 5 degrees, a

:10:43. > :10:47.south-easterly correction, much lighter than today. As we head into

:10:48. > :10:51.Wednesday it looks like it will be another cloudy start to the morning.

:10:52. > :10:55.Further outbreaks of showery rain. It could have a bit of thunder to it

:10:56. > :11:00.through Wednesday afternoon but gradually it will ease off and we

:11:01. > :11:01.will see Sunny spells and temperatures on Wednesday

:11:02. > :11:07.at the weekend it will be mild. Largely dry, perhaps a wind -- windy
