0:00:12 > 0:00:15Good evening.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17A missing 71-year-old woman from Minchinhampton
0:00:17 > 0:00:19has been found safe.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Hazel Denham went missing on Tuesday while out walking with her dog.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26A search by officers and people living in the town resumed this
0:00:26 > 0:00:31morning and it was another dog walker who actually found Hazel.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And despite spending three nights out in the cold, close to freezing,
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Hazel is recovering well.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve Knibbs, was there.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42The moment many feared would never come -
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hazel Denham not just alive but sitting casually
0:00:45 > 0:00:49at the bottom of Toadsmoor woods, chatting to police after being out
0:00:49 > 0:00:52in the open for three days and nights.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I remember just seeing a lovely big smile on Hazel and I climbed over
0:00:55 > 0:00:59the fence and just gave her a big hug and said, we're so happy
0:00:59 > 0:01:00to find you, Hazel.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hazel was in good spirits but very dehydrated and was helped carefully
0:01:03 > 0:01:06into an ambulance to go to hospital for treatment.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Her faithful dog, Bertie, never left her side and is doing well,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13too, helped by a few doggie treats - the whole family grateful to that
0:01:13 > 0:01:17dog walker who made a special effort to track them down.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Thank you so, so much, yeah.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20You're our saviour, really.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Thank you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25She told the police officers that she was going to go out
0:01:25 > 0:01:27with her dog and find Hazel today, and she did.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28She found her.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30We can't thank her enough.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31I feel ecstatic, over the moon.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33It's fantastic that we've found her.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Totally unexpected and kind of a miracle, really, isn't it?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Hazel was confused when she was found but, used to long walks,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42she's obviously fit and resilient, having survived
0:01:42 > 0:01:50during the cold nights.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52She thinks she's been missing for a few hours,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55doesn't know what all the fuss is about, thinks there
0:01:55 > 0:01:57might be a missing dog somewhere and would quite
0:01:57 > 0:01:58like a shower, she said!
0:01:58 > 0:01:59It's quite boggy at the bottom.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I went down as far as I could till it got too thick.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The search for Hazel became a huge community effort.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Police and specialist search teams were joined by volunteers
0:02:07 > 0:02:08from villages around the area.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10They started at Minchinhampton and stretched out for miles,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13searching from early in the morning until late at night.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I'd like to say thank you, on behalf of Gloucestershire Constabulary,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18to all the locals that have shown such interest in this story.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20The lady that found her today had deliberately gone out
0:02:20 > 0:02:23walking her dog in a bid to try and find her.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27After a frantic three days, Hazel's family say they're just
0:02:27 > 0:02:32looking forward to a quiet weekend to welcome her back home.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Steve Knibbs there with that report.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Avon and Somerset Police say they are dealing with an average
0:02:38 > 0:02:41of 60 emergency calls a day from people with mental
0:02:41 > 0:02:43health problems.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47They include those who are suicidal or at risk of harming others.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Six months ago, specially trained nurses were brought
0:02:49 > 0:02:52in to to try to ease the pressure.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Our home affairs correspondent, Charlotte Callen, has been
0:02:55 > 0:03:00to see how it's working.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Protecting us on our streets - these officers are on the front
0:03:04 > 0:03:07line, fighting crime, but the types of emergencies they're
0:03:07 > 0:03:10being called to is changing.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15The police's role is to keep us safe and to make us feel safe.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17With an increasing number of calls from people
0:03:17 > 0:03:23with mental health problems, their role is also changing.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Senior officers say, too often, the police are being left to deal
0:03:25 > 0:03:30with the most vulnerable as health budgets have been squeezed.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Last year, we had over 20,000 calls that had a mental
0:03:35 > 0:03:38health marker on them.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42We're deploying to 50-60% of those minimum -
0:03:42 > 0:03:44that's a huge demand.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Police do have some mental health training but,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50with a 9% increase in calls from vulnerable people,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52something had to change.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55And six months ago, it did.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Mental health nurses moved into the emergency call centres,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01working side-by-side with the police.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04We need to work together to improve things.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06That's the only way things are going to improve.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10When jobs come in and when people are at high risk or suicidal,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13we're asked to risk assess that and get the right
0:04:13 > 0:04:14support for people.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Since September, when the scheme started, the mental health team have
0:04:17 > 0:04:21provided advice in over 3,000 cases.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26They stopped police needing to attend in 364 cases and they've
0:04:26 > 0:04:30reduced the time police spent at the scene from an average of 7.5
0:04:30 > 0:04:34hours to three hours.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38But should it fall to our police to deal with these kinds of problems?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40People want to see bobbies on the beat, officers patrolling
0:04:40 > 0:04:44and answering their 999 calls quickly when they call about a car
0:04:44 > 0:04:47collision or anything else that is seen traditionally
0:04:47 > 0:04:49as police business.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52If you ask the public, would you like to see your police
0:04:52 > 0:04:55officers waiting 6-8 hours in a mental health place
0:04:55 > 0:04:57of safety while somebody receives an assessment?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59They would probably say that they don't.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Similar work is happening between the health teams
0:05:01 > 0:05:06in Wiltshire and the police, and in Dorset, too, where they have
0:05:06 > 0:05:08also seen significant benefits.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Charlotte Callen for BBC Points West in Bristol.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15A monument is being built as a tribute to the young men who've
0:05:15 > 0:05:18lost their lives in the River Avon.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Sam Amin is one of 11 men who've died after falling
0:05:21 > 0:05:23in the river since 2009.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26His family commissioned students from Bath College
0:05:26 > 0:05:29to make the monument.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34It's going to be a beautiful monument and I think I will get
0:05:34 > 0:05:37some, at some point, after one year or six months
0:05:37 > 0:05:42when this project will be completed, I can come here, I can sit
0:05:42 > 0:05:50here and I can think about the beautiful life of Sam.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Onto the rugby, and Gloucester lost to Newcastle in the final minute.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56There was only a point between the two sides
0:05:56 > 0:06:00until the Falcons were awarded a penalty, kicked by Joel Hodgson.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06The score at full-time tonight at Kingston Park, 16-14.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09And more than 80 hot air balloons crossed the English Channel this
0:06:10 > 0:06:11morning to set a new world record.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Several pilots from the West made the trip from Dover to Calais.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19They've been waiting for the right weather to make the journey
0:06:19 > 0:06:21and today was perfect.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Celebrations will have to wait until it's officially confirmed
0:06:23 > 0:06:33by Guiness World Records.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Hello, very good evening to you.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39If you're after spring sunshine, you won't be disappointed
0:06:39 > 0:06:42with the forecast for this weekend - plenty of it through both Saturday
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and indeed, for the most part, through Sunday as well.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Temperatures will be climbing through the course of the weekend.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50We'll be getting at least into the high teens fairly widely -
0:06:51 > 0:06:52could well nudge 20 Celsius.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54But overnight, it will be chilly and indeed there
0:06:54 > 0:06:56could well be some fog around, including through the course
0:06:56 > 0:06:58of tonight, more particularly across some southern areas.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Temperatures could drop as low as 3 or 4 Celsius
0:07:01 > 0:07:02in parts of the countryside.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04So, yes, a chilly and in places foggy start.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Very fair slight tomorrow.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09That will very quickly burn off because, above it,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11effectively clear blue sky which sets the tone
0:07:11 > 0:07:12through the rest of Saturday.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16The winds will be light and the UV levels will be quite strong -
0:07:16 > 0:07:18do factor that in.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20So little change, then, through the afternoon or indeed
0:07:20 > 0:07:21as we head into the evening.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Temperatures tomorrow widely into the high teens, 17-19 C.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28One or two spots may well get up to 20.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30They've got a better chance of getting that high
0:07:30 > 0:07:31during the course of Sunday.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33There will be a bit more cloud around, particularly in
0:07:33 > 0:07:35the afternoon from the north-west.
0:07:35 > 0:07:35Here's your national forecast.
0:07:35 > 0:07:35drag in more
0:07:35 > 0:07:36drag in more cloud
0:07:36 > 0:07:36drag in more cloud and
