:02:33. > :02:37.unconscious body was appalling. She had tried to separate from
:02:38. > :02:41.Porter but he was still living with her because she does
:02:42. > :02:49.want him to be homeless. I would simply say to people
:02:50. > :02:51.they can come forward and speak to the police with

:03:28. > :03:32.won't get the treatment 73 years old and living
:03:33. > :03:40.in constant fear. For nearly five years now
:03:41. > :03:43.the South African grandmother has been fighting for the right to stay
:03:44. > :03:48.here in the UK with her daughter Desree, her three sons
:03:49. > :03:51.and seven grandchildren. I'm terrified, I can't
:03:52. > :03:56.take that any more. The day they come to arrest me
:03:57. > :03:59.and say I must go, that is going to It was during a visit here back
:04:00. > :04:05.in 2012 when Irene fell ill and was diagnosed
:04:06. > :04:07.with kidney failure. She's still very ill and needs
:04:08. > :04:10.dialysis three times a week to stay alive,
:04:11. > :04:12.treatment that the family say she But the treatment is expensive,
:04:13. > :04:21.legally Irene has no right to be here, and so the Home Office have
:04:22. > :04:23.been warning for more than a year that she will have
:04:24. > :04:26.to be deported. It has caused so much
:04:27. > :04:30.stress and worry. I am terrified they are going
:04:31. > :04:33.to come back and say, Today, Irene and Desree need
:04:34. > :04:38.to head to a police station for Irene to sign on to prove
:04:39. > :04:42.she's still in Bristol. They have to do this regularly
:04:43. > :04:46.but there's always the fear that this might be the day they get
:04:47. > :04:50.the news bad news. Although Irene and Desree
:04:51. > :04:53.dread their visits here, the visits themselves are normally pretty
:04:54. > :04:55.straightforward and don't take very long at all,
:04:56. > :04:57.sometimes just a matter of minutes. However, today, something that
:04:58. > :05:00.seemed to be different. They have been in there for more
:05:01. > :05:03.than an hour already. We don't know what
:05:04. > :05:05.is going on, we will They've done a medical
:05:06. > :05:14.assessment on mum. To me, that looks
:05:15. > :05:18.like they are trying It just shows they are not going
:05:19. > :05:27.to sit back and go, let her stay. They are going to try
:05:28. > :05:36.and get my mum out. So this evening, after yet
:05:37. > :05:41.another difficult day, there are still no answers
:05:42. > :05:46.and the future for Irene The deadline has passed to stand
:05:47. > :05:56.in the general election, and things have taken an intriguing
:05:57. > :05:58.turn in parts of the West. In our 31 constituencies
:05:59. > :06:01.the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats
:06:02. > :06:07.all have a full slate of candidates. The Greens are contesting
:06:08. > :06:09.nearly every seat. But with just 14 candidates,
:06:10. > :06:14.Ukip have far fewer than last time. And in places like Cheltenham it
:06:15. > :06:20.could be very significant as our political editor
:06:21. > :06:36.Paul Barltrop reports. It should be one of the top
:06:37. > :06:42.contests. Last year people voted to remain in the European Union. It
:06:43. > :06:46.ought to be a good prospect for the Lib Dems but it has been complicated
:06:47. > :06:48.on who and who isn't standing. When they counted the votes two
:06:49. > :06:51.years ago, thousands went to Labour, Ukip and the Greens,
:06:52. > :06:54.though they were a long way This time around the line-up
:06:55. > :06:57.of candidates will be similar but shorter,
:06:58. > :06:59.Ukip are out, but after much debate Their agent tells me
:07:00. > :07:02.their hopes of an anti-Tory deal in Gloucestershire
:07:03. > :07:14.had been rebuffed. At the moment, in Stroud, Cheltenham
:07:15. > :07:22.and Gloucester, there are three Conservative MPs and it was a really
:07:23. > :07:27.great opportunity to return three candidates from Greens, labour and
:07:28. > :07:29.Lib Dems across that seat if we cooperated. Frustrating that we
:07:30. > :07:32.didn't get to the stage of talking to the other parties.
:07:33. > :07:34.And turning Cheltenham yellow again may be made harder
:07:35. > :07:44.People and children won't have a are likely to back the blues.
:07:45. > :07:48.People and children won't have a Ukip candidate so I would hope they
:07:49. > :07:52.will look at what they want to achieve. Look at the manifestos,
:07:53. > :07:57.listen to the arguments and make the best choice for them. Brexit would
:07:58. > :08:03.be a top priority? Yes, it will. Visiting Cheltenham today
:08:04. > :08:05.and putting on a brave face, They hope to persuade
:08:06. > :08:19.people to vote tactically. The only person that can beat them
:08:20. > :08:21.is Michael Horn. I trust them to do that.
:08:22. > :08:24.Whether their candidate is also embraced by voters we'll find out
:08:25. > :08:29.Research led by Bristol University suggests that HIV patients can now
:08:30. > :08:34.expect to live close to the same age as the general population.
:08:35. > :08:38.The study, published in the Lancet, points to the success
:08:39. > :08:40.of treatments in Europe and North America over
:08:41. > :08:54.Because of better drugs, easier to take, fewer side effects, less
:08:55. > :09:01.likely to develop resistance and more drug options if the virus you
:09:02. > :09:05.are infected with does develop resistance. Patient starting therapy
:09:06. > :09:07.these days, providing they start early, can expect to live a near
:09:08. > :09:09.normal life span. Finally, today is Somerset Day
:09:10. > :09:11.and to celebrate the county's heritage and history,
:09:12. > :09:13.BBC Somerset's breakfast presenter Claire Carter has
:09:14. > :09:15.recorded her own version of the famous Wurzel's

:10:25. > :10:27.another band of rain moving in from the south-east. That will spread its

:10:36. > :10:41.of you that missed the showers today may be in with some locked night. It
