:00:08. > :00:14.New evidence shows doctors up.

:00:15. > :00:16.in our hospitals are taking thousands of sick

:00:17. > :00:28.I was ending up crying on every single night shift.

:00:29. > :00:40.And Wednesday will bring dry conditions, set up for dry weather

:00:41. > :00:46.through the list of the week, details at the end of the programme.

:00:47. > :00:50.New evidence has emerged about the pressure on doctors.

:00:51. > :00:52.At Bristol Royal infirmary figures suggest almost half of all sickness

:00:53. > :00:56.Our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill has spoken to one junior

:00:57. > :01:15.The seniors, they took me outside and completely shouted at me, said

:01:16. > :01:20.how much money I had cost the hospital. I was suicidal and I

:01:21. > :01:25.didn't see a way for work. This Doctor Who wants to remain anonymous

:01:26. > :01:28.says stress levels became so intense while working in A she became

:01:29. > :01:35.suicidal which is why she left medicine. Nationally last year

:01:36. > :01:44.stress accounted for 37% of all work-related health cases but our

:01:45. > :01:50.figures show that university hospitals, Bristol had 46% of sick

:01:51. > :01:55.days attributed to anxiety, stress or depression, almost five years

:01:56. > :02:01.lost. The trust declined my requests remember view but says it is

:02:02. > :02:08.concerned by this. It says it offers all staff eight well-being programme

:02:09. > :02:13.which includes a health MOT and says it now gathers data on absences in a

:02:14. > :02:18.much better way but is still not possible to say whether they are due

:02:19. > :02:22.to problems at work are at home. These figures may be

:02:23. > :02:26.underestimating, because we are told not every doctor is willing to admit

:02:27. > :02:33.they took time off due to mental health issues. This doctor took time

:02:34. > :02:42.off stress and at didn't declare it. We had to walk though it might work

:02:43. > :02:46.ten days any role and some of those for 12 hour shifts. Often you don't

:02:47. > :02:49.get to take breaks because of the workload and even though people say

:02:50. > :02:58.you must take breaks you feel like you can't because somebody's Kieron

:02:59. > :03:01.may suffer for it. Sometimes pressure on the Department is so

:03:02. > :03:07.great that things fall apart. The other thing that has changed is the

:03:08. > :03:12.way that we work so we work Morin shifts so not necessarily with the

:03:13. > :03:16.same team. The Department of Health says the latest survey shows some

:03:17. > :03:21.measures were improving and levels of work stress were at their lowest

:03:22. > :03:25.level nationally in four years. I would describe it as a sense of

:03:26. > :03:31.bread and not wanting to get out of bed and eventually I thought I

:03:32. > :03:35.cannot go in. I sometimes find colleagues crying in cupboards and

:03:36. > :03:39.you get used to it is that it is a normal thing. With growing staff

:03:40. > :03:41.shortages, this unrelenting pressure is bound to take its toll.

:03:42. > :03:43.Today was the deadline for anyone wanting to stand

:03:44. > :03:47.In our three big counties new councils will be chosen.

:03:48. > :03:48.Wiltshire, Somerset and Gloucestershire are all presently

:03:49. > :03:52.But the biggest single contest is for a West of England

:03:53. > :03:54.mayor, covering Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Bath

:03:55. > :03:57.The official announcement on the Metromayor will be tomorrow,

:03:58. > :04:06.it looks like there are six candidates: Conservative Tim Bowles,

:04:07. > :04:08.Labour's Lesley Mansell, Stephen Williams for

:04:09. > :04:10.the Liberal Democrats, Darren Hall of the Greens,

:04:11. > :04:16.UKIP's Aaron Foot and John Savage, an independent.

:04:17. > :04:22.Robin Markwell has been looking at what the job entails.

:04:23. > :04:24.For 800 years, Bristol and mayors have gone hand-in-glove.

:04:25. > :04:26.There's the Lord Mayor, with all the pomp and ceremony

:04:27. > :04:29.of the post, and, more recently, an elected mayor too,

:04:30. > :04:31.a job currently held by Labour's Marvin Rees.

:04:32. > :04:36.Now, at the bidding of Government, voters are being asked

:04:37. > :04:40.to choose a third mayor, not just for Bristol but for

:04:41. > :04:45.South Gloucestershire and Bath and North East Somerset too.

:04:46. > :04:50.The idea is that they will bang the drum for the West in Westminster.

:04:51. > :04:52.My personal hope as an officer is that we get somebody

:04:53. > :04:55.who is a strong spokesperson for the region, and is effective

:04:56. > :05:01.in getting more powers, more money for the region.

:05:02. > :05:04.The metro mayor would be based initially at Bristol's Engine Shed

:05:05. > :05:14.On housing, they'd help choose how many homes

:05:15. > :05:17.the region needs and decide whether they should be built.

:05:18. > :05:20.Whether or not it's on the greenbelt is the big bone of contention.

:05:21. > :05:24.They'd franchise bus services, pay for community transport,

:05:25. > :05:29.control key roads and have the power to bring in a clean air zone,

:05:30. > :05:31.and that could mean a ban on polluting vehicles.

:05:32. > :05:34.They would have money, too, the best part of ?1 billion

:05:35. > :05:40.over the next 30 years to go on infrastructure, and last

:05:41. > :05:43.of all they might try to put up business taxes, raising rates to pay

:05:44. > :05:51.Well, Keynsham in North East Somerset is a town with a fair

:05:52. > :05:54.few traffic problems of its own, so what would a metro mayor armed

:05:55. > :05:58.with ?30 million per year to play with do for a town like this?

:05:59. > :06:00.But on the streets it was a case of,

:06:01. > :06:01."Election? What election?"

:06:02. > :06:03.Are you pleased to have another election? No.

:06:04. > :06:05.You know what this person is going to do.

:06:06. > :06:08.Well, I don't see why we need one, really.

:06:09. > :06:14.Have you heard of the metro mayor? No.

:06:15. > :06:21.Something to do with the Metrobus? That's a bit of a 'mare.

:06:22. > :06:38.is a Wiltshire woman has become one of the first people in Britain to

:06:39. > :06:40.teach young people how to survive if they fall into water.

:06:41. > :06:42.Three years ago Olivia Rowe's son died after falling

:06:43. > :06:44.Here's our Wiltshire Reporter Will Glennon.

:06:45. > :06:47.This is not a swimming lesson - it's all about staying alive.

:06:48. > :06:52.This four-year-old is being taught how to float

:06:53. > :06:55.and keep his head above water if he fell in accidentally.

:06:56. > :06:58.For me, that's the most important thing, is that everyone who goes...

:06:59. > :07:02.Every child who goes into water and into a pool can see,

:07:03. > :07:08.you know, falling in a river, you know, or a pond,

:07:09. > :07:11.that if that happens they can save themselves.

:07:12. > :07:14.In July 2014 Olivia Rowe's son Jack drowned in the family

:07:15. > :07:22.It was the day of his third birthday.

:07:23. > :07:25.While she popped out, and Jack was out of sight

:07:26. > :07:28.of his step-brother, he somehow fell in.

:07:29. > :07:32.I had to take Ella to a school disco, and when I was out I got

:07:33. > :07:35.the call from Harry, my stepson,

:07:36. > :07:37.who was looking after him, saying he

:07:38. > :07:41.I came home and then later a friend discovered him

:07:42. > :07:46.at the bottom of the pool, at the side of the bottom,

:07:47. > :07:53.Olivia set up a charity called the Jack Rabbit Foundation,

:07:54. > :07:56.and went to Florida with her swimming teacher friend Jo.

:07:57. > :07:57.They both trained in infant survival techniques.

:07:58. > :07:59.Back home and they've begun classes in Wiltshire.

:08:00. > :08:10.Babies and toddlers are shown how to work with the water, and survive.

:08:11. > :08:25.Safety in the water, getting them in and comfortable with the water.

:08:26. > :08:26.She was never confident enough in water,

:08:27. > :08:29.and I thought, because this is mainly about what water

:08:30. > :08:31.confidence and survival, it's the best thing you can do

:08:32. > :08:34.It's amazing. I love it.

:08:35. > :08:35.I already signed Archie up before they

:08:36. > :08:38.had even got back from the states during their training.

:08:39. > :08:40.I just saw their videos and so it was something

:08:41. > :08:42.I really wanted him to do and be part of.

:08:43. > :08:46.This is just the beginning - the charity wants to teach as many

:08:47. > :08:47.children as possible, and, ultimately, roll classes

:08:48. > :08:50.out across the whole UK, saving young lives in Jack's name.

:08:51. > :09:00.Will Glennon, BBC Points West, Wiltshire.

:09:01. > :09:02.Bristol City have suffered their heaviest defeat

:09:03. > :09:03.of the season, losing 5-0 at Preston.

:09:04. > :09:05.The game was beamed back to Ashton Gate where city

:09:06. > :09:08.fans watched with dismay as the goals went in.

:09:09. > :09:10.City are still above the relegation zone as rivals

:09:11. > :09:30.The first half I thought we weren't too bad but the second half we were

:09:31. > :09:36.not in it at all. We were finished after the second goal. He needs to

:09:37. > :09:41.go and he needs to go tonight. The job is too big for you. More

:09:42. > :09:42.coverage of that on BBC radio Bristol tomorrow morning.

:09:43. > :09:46.There's more news on the BBC Website and of course on your local

:09:47. > :09:55.But for now I'll leave you with Ian who has the forecast.

:09:56. > :10:03.The deepening. High-pressure dominates as we head into the rest

:10:04. > :10:07.of this week, a lot of pride and settled weather so the complicating

:10:08. > :10:12.factor is how the cloud cover comes and goes. A chilly start but he

:10:13. > :10:16.feared amount of sunshine for most during the morning and tendency to

:10:17. > :10:21.introduce more cloud, especially towards the north. Through the

:10:22. > :10:28.course of tonight what skies clearing it will turn chilly for

:10:29. > :10:34.this time of year as, so 2-4. He had of some grass frost by first light

:10:35. > :10:37.but having said that, despite being a chilly start, it should be fairly

:10:38. > :10:43.sunny. Notice how the cloud is increasing from the North and it

:10:44. > :10:46.will thicken up to some extent and some bright and sunny pockets of

:10:47. > :10:53.weather but then towards the south and south-west, a more prolonged

:10:54. > :10:59.chance of sunny spells. It will remain dry with the temperature

:11:00. > :11:00.around about 12-14, hired in the sunshine, probably more close around

:11:01. > :11:03.bit from the south, so we could get to 18 or higher on Sunday. Now the

:11:04. > :11:14.national focus. Good evening, things are looking good in the next

:11:15. > :11:17.few days, some pressure drifting in from the Atlantic, bringing some

:11:18. > :11:21.finance settled with it. Just some questions about the amount of cloud

:11:22. > :11:24.we will see under that. The cloud we saw the sea links gave rise to a

:11:25. > :11:28.lovely sunsets are many areas. This is the view from one of our weather

:11:29. > :11:32.watchers in Cornwall. Look at the tones in the sky in Warwickshire

:11:33. > :11:40.this evening. Here is the satellite sequence which

:11:41. > :11:43.shows it was pretty gloomy on the eastern side of England. Not much

:11:44. > :11:44.rain, but a good swathe of sunshine for many early on. In the

:11:45. > :11:45.north-west,
