A health expert says the number of overweight and obese children

:00:12.:00:17.

Figures show one in three has a weight problem by the time

:00:18.:00:23.

they leave primary school, and it's worse in

:00:24.:00:27.

It's hoped a push to get more youngsters eating healthier

:00:28.:00:32.

and doing exercise will get them into better shape.

:00:33.:00:34.

Some of the 300 children who take part in junior parkruns

:00:35.:00:44.

I was a bit nervous but when I did it I felt that it was quite good.

:00:45.:00:54.

I watched my friends do and I wanted to run with them to have fun.

:00:55.:01:00.

These free and non-comptetive two kilometre runs are one way

:01:01.:01:03.

The voluntary organiser is also a primary school teacher.

:01:04.:01:11.

The children don't have as much opportunity to do exercise

:01:12.:01:13.

because of the current curriculum really pressing on English

:01:14.:01:17.

and maths and sometimes at the expense of exercise,

:01:18.:01:19.

With one in three children overweight, Bristol's problem's no

:01:20.:01:24.

But in more deprived areas, the figure gets worse.

:01:25.:01:30.

As high as 44% of pupils leaving primary school are overweight.

:01:31.:01:35.

A crisis according to this public health expert.

:01:36.:01:38.

The research does show that if you are overweight or obese

:01:39.:01:44.

as a child it is more likely that you will continue to be in the adult

:01:45.:01:50.

hood and then obviously the implications and risks of that

:01:51.:01:53.

to your long-term health are quite significant,

:01:54.:01:54.

so that's why it is important that we address it at this age.

:01:55.:01:58.

The Hartcliffe school has Bristol's worst weight problem.

:01:59.:02:03.

Sugary drinks and choclate bars are banned in packed lunches.

:02:04.:02:06.

Logan has salad for lunch - and has been enrolled

:02:07.:02:09.

I felt weird because you weren't able to have chocolate or sugar any

:02:10.:02:17.

more and you can only exercise or have fruit and vegetables.

:02:18.:02:24.

Teachers are also planning a monthly fitness test for pupils.

:02:25.:02:28.

Elsewhere in our area, more than a 100 schools have taken

:02:29.:02:31.

Another attempt to increase rates of activity in the young.

:02:32.:02:38.

For a child up to five years old, that's three hours of physical

:02:39.:02:41.

activity a day and for children older up to 15, it's at least one

:02:42.:02:46.

hour of physical activity per day and we know in Bristol that 83%

:02:47.:02:52.

of 15-year-olds are not achieving that one hour.

:02:53.:02:56.

It's clear childhood obesity's being taken seriously.

:02:57.:02:59.

Not least because it leads to weight problems in adult life.

:03:00.:03:02.

And that's linked to diabetes, heart disease, strokes and cancer.

:03:03.:03:12.

A man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman

:03:13.:03:15.

was hit by a car which failed to stop in Gloucestershire.

:03:16.:03:19.

42-year-old Delroy Nelson remains in custody after the 54-year-old

:03:20.:03:22.

woman was seriously injured in Matson on Monday morning.

:03:23.:03:30.

Police are hunting two men after a teenager was punched

:03:31.:03:32.

in the face in a homophobic attack in Bristol.

:03:33.:03:39.

The victim needed treatment in hospital after he was verbally

:03:40.:03:41.

abused then assaulted outside the OMG nightclub in the early

:03:42.:03:44.

Rugby now and Gloucester's dream of a European Challenge Cup

:03:45.:03:51.

hat-trick are in tatters tonight after they lost 25-17

:03:52.:03:55.

The club travelled to Scotland for the game, hoping to win

:03:56.:04:02.

the trophy for the second time in three seasons.

:04:03.:04:04.

Our sports editor, Alistair Durden, is at Murrayfield.

:04:05.:04:14.

And unmistakably Scottish welcome for the Cherry and White Army. As

:04:15.:04:23.

per usual, Gloucester fans out in force, amazing to see is all out

:04:24.:04:27.

here. It brings up the best in Gloucester and I think loss to add

:04:28.:04:30.

something special to this competition. I am afraid. Four of

:04:31.:04:44.

them! Gloucester were trying to reclaim the trophy they won two

:04:45.:04:49.

years ago. The early pressure came from the French but not the first

:04:50.:04:53.

score. An interception by Jonny May, one of the quickest men in rugby.

:04:54.:05:00.

All the way to the try line in the final. Stade Francais was soon

:05:01.:05:09.

level. An ill tempered half ended with the Gloucester captain a little

:05:10.:05:12.

fortunate to only be sin-binned for this. The better fighter came from

:05:13.:05:20.

Stade Francais after the break. No cheer for the Cherry and Whites

:05:21.:05:25.

tonight. A first European title the Stade Francais. The best team won.

:05:26.:05:30.

We were disappointed but 6/2 hours to get here and 6/2-hour was back.

:05:31.:05:35.

It is fun to say the least that if you want hair left at the end of the

:05:36.:05:40.

day, do not support Gloucester! So Gloucester's season ends without any

:05:41.:05:47.

polish. This game a snapshot of the season. Sometimes exquisite but all

:05:48.:05:50.

will demand a greater level of will demand a greater level of

:05:51.:05:52.

consistency next season. The work of nurses across the West

:05:53.:05:55.

was celebrated today as part In Somerset, medical staff

:05:56.:05:59.

at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton downed tools for a few minutes

:06:00.:06:06.

to stage a flashmob - a quick dance -

on the hospital's helipad. Doctor-turned-choreographer Marla

surgeons and doctors A fairly optimistic story

:06:21.:06:22.

through the course of this weekend. Generally speaking, a lot of dry

:06:23.:06:35.

weather and at times, I think, fairly sunny weather as well

:06:36.:06:38.

with varying amounts A few light showers

:06:39.:06:39.

during the course of Saturday. The only rain of note coming late

:06:40.:06:43.

in the evening from West to East will be cleared away before Sunday

starts, and then Sunday will be a day again

:06:47.:06:49.

with varying amounts of cloud. If anything, the showers on Sunday

:06:50.:06:52.

could just be that bit heavier and perhaps a little bit more

:06:53.:06:55.

frequent in places. Now, through the rest of tonight,

:06:56.:06:57.

a bit of rain, which has been moving up through some western areas

:06:58.:07:00.

inland, is looking largely dry. Temperatures 10 or 11

:07:01.:07:02.

Celsius, mild again. We could see a bit of light,

:07:03.:07:05.

patchy rain just moving across some Perhaps a little bit

:07:06.:07:09.

of that still around But otherwise, for many of you,

:07:10.:07:12.

it will be a day of just I think, at times, quite extensive

:07:13.:07:16.

and it will be a rather breezy day. But nonetheless, before

:07:17.:07:22.

we get that rain coming in during the course of the evening,

:07:23.:07:24.

we'll have had temperatures up By Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

:07:25.:07:26.

much milder but wetter. we are looking at something wet and

:07:27.:07:29.

windy. A bit of a mixed bag earlier on

:07:30.:07:42.

today, some of us were cloudy with rain. This is the view from one of

:07:43.:07:48.

our weather watchers in Cornwall. But in the Highlands of Scotland, it

:07:49.:07:51.

was completely different, find, sunny and warm. The satellite and

:07:52.:07:57.

radar picture shows the variety of weather we have had. It brightened

:07:58.:08:02.

up into the afternoon, early evening. The north-east of Scotland

:08:03.:08:12.

and England have extensive low cloud, missed,
