And the dogs with epilepsy being given a new lease of life

:00:10.:00:31.

thanks to a pacemaker designed for children.

:00:32.:00:40.

Friends from Trowbridge who were caught up in the Manchester

:00:41.:00:49.

suicide bombing have spoken of the terrifying moment

:00:50.:00:51.

Jack Scanlon and Zara Robson-Rodriguez say the sights

:00:52.:00:54.

and sounds of that night will never leave them.

:00:55.:00:56.

I'm with my Lakshan Zara over at the Manchester Arena on Monday night

:00:57.:01:10.

that the Ariana Grande concert. They were right next to the explosion.

:01:11.:01:15.

Zara even got injured. Jack was lucky to a state. Zara you got a cut

:01:16.:01:20.

in the back of your leg. I live you know? Yes. Literally just coming to

:01:21.:01:26.

terms with it now, but I'm feeling much better. And Jack, what you

:01:27.:01:33.

remember about what happened? I remember just walking out of the

:01:34.:01:39.

fire and reregistering how amazing it was, she was great, and we saw

:01:40.:01:45.

everyone's parents waiting to pick their ketchup, and we said, all that

:01:46.:01:52.

is and that is when the explosion went off. Funny split second, we

:01:53.:01:55.

didn't know what it was, but then you saw the devastation. There was

:01:56.:02:02.

blood... I did knew it was something bad and we had to get out of there.

:02:03.:02:09.

When the spot. I just grabbed it and I was just saying, we have got to

:02:10.:02:16.

get out. And you were lucky because some shrapnel had your clothing and

:02:17.:02:29.

toilet. I was lucky. -- and tour it. I feel awful for people who work

:02:30.:02:33.

less lucky. How are you feeling now after seeing what did happen and

:02:34.:02:37.

what could have happened to you? I am so thankful that I wasn't as

:02:38.:02:43.

entered as anyone else, and I can't imagine how they are feeling. If it

:02:44.:02:47.

wasn't for Jack, I don't know what would have happened. He saved my

:02:48.:02:52.

life by getting out of that building, and I actually am so

:02:53.:02:56.

thankful for him every day. Thanks very much. There will be more from

:02:57.:03:05.

Jack and Zara tonight. They were very fortunate to escape with the

:03:06.:03:08.

lies from the Manchester Arena on Monday night.

:03:09.:03:09.

This bank holiday weekend, over 120,000 people are expected

:03:10.:03:11.

in Gloucester for the Tall Ships Festival.

:03:12.:03:13.

It's the largest event in the West and comes amid heightened security

:03:14.:03:16.

Our Gloucestershire reporter Steve Knibbs joins us now.

:03:17.:03:30.

We are about to head into Gloucester docks aboard this ship. It is a

:03:31.:03:39.

1960s type adapted for sale. We will be heading into Gloucester for that

:03:40.:03:44.

festival. I'm at the chief executive marketing who is organising it. With

:03:45.:03:48.

all these people coming, presumably there has a review of security?.

:03:49.:03:52.

Absolutely. We have tightened up things, we had been liaising with

:03:53.:03:58.

pleas. We had a good system enemy, but now there will be extra bodies

:03:59.:04:01.

on the floor to make sure everybody is safe. We have seen an police over

:04:02.:04:06.

the last couple of days, that presence will be there, but it is

:04:07.:04:10.

that balance between showing the presence and not alarming people.

:04:11.:04:14.

Most people seem very reassured by what they have seen. They know it is

:04:15.:04:18.

for all our benefits. We want to make sure it is really save time for

:04:19.:04:22.

everyone. Rather be a Excel bag searches? They will be extra bag

:04:23.:04:27.

surges, they may notice some extra police and rent, there will be shut

:04:28.:04:31.

down earlier in the morning sorry conserves the site. Let's talk about

:04:32.:04:37.

what they can see. The tenth anniversary of the festival. We're

:04:38.:04:43.

about to head in and a few ships. Seven Tall Ships Festival, and

:04:44.:04:46.

absolute records in the ten year since we started. Most on the water

:04:47.:04:51.

activities that we have ever had. Wake boarding championships, people

:04:52.:04:55.

dressed as pilots having battles, there is acute observation wheel.

:04:56.:04:58.

Hundreds of styles, it is going to be a really exciting weekend. This

:04:59.:05:04.

is a big deal for a Gloucester, isn't it? It is a big wheel, and it

:05:05.:05:09.

is a big deal. It generates about 96 million and activities. We will be

:05:10.:05:15.

back in the docks tonight to talk more about events security over the

:05:16.:05:18.

weekend, and looking ahead to the Tall Ships Festival.

:05:19.:05:20.

A video of a Gloucester man has gone viral on the internet

:05:21.:05:23.

after he travelled to Manchester to pay his respects to the victims

:05:24.:05:26.

Hash Norat is well-known in Gloucester, helping to run

:05:27.:05:32.

He spoke to the Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham,

:05:33.:05:35.

to say that the Islamic religion taught love and peace,

:05:36.:05:38.

No individual is going to ruin that, for me, my family,

:05:39.:05:43.

my beautiful religion, for the billions of Muslims out

:05:44.:05:46.

This is Islam, not what that person did on the 22nd.

:05:47.:05:59.

And Mr Norat will be joining us in the studio for Points West

:06:00.:06:02.

A surgeon from Bristol who treats epilepsy in children

:06:03.:06:07.

is spending his free time treating dogs.

:06:08.:06:14.

Mike Carter is working alongside vets to try out an implant

:06:15.:06:17.

As our health correspondent Matthew Hill reports,

:06:18.:06:19.

it's hoped the work will benefit both animals and humans in future.

:06:20.:06:22.

Eva is a jack russel who is about to have surgery

:06:23.:06:25.

For the past two years the jack russel has suffered from fairly

:06:26.:06:29.

The first time it happened, I didn't see it, my husband did.

:06:30.:06:35.

He just noticed there was something wrong with her, went to her,

:06:36.:06:38.

and in the middle of a fit, she bit his hand.

:06:39.:06:41.

Up to 40% of dogs can't control their epilepsy,

:06:42.:06:45.

and the only option is to put them to sleep.

:06:46.:06:48.

But paediatric brain surgeon Mike Carter has volunteered his time

:06:49.:06:52.

to help implant a pacemaker that has so far only been used in children.

:06:53.:06:57.

As we know, many human treatment start of as treatments that

:06:58.:07:00.

are either trialled or propagated in the animal population.

:07:01.:07:05.

It may well be that there are in fact benefits to humans

:07:06.:07:08.

from observing the way in which treatments work in animals

:07:09.:07:13.

as well, and that's very much what we're hoping for here.

:07:14.:07:15.

The pacemaker works by giving intermitent electric

:07:16.:07:17.

shocks to the vagus nerve, and it has massively reduced

:07:18.:07:24.

the seizures to the three dogs operated on so far.

:07:25.:07:26.

Jago, a four-year-old Border Collie, was the first patient

:07:27.:07:29.

Before surgery, Jago's seizures had become so frequent he had

:07:30.:07:34.

If we can control them and keep them short,

:07:35.:07:41.

not have the big long clusters we were getting before...

:07:42.:07:46.

It will carry on for as long as he likes it.

:07:47.:07:50.

So, as Jago gets back to a normal life, this collaboration

:07:51.:07:53.

between vets and the NHS could ultimately mean children

:07:54.:07:57.

suffering the most serious form of epilepsy could also

:07:58.:08:01.

To the weather, and David Braine has our look ahead to

:08:02.:08:13.

It looks like we're going to see more hot weather for the rest

:08:14.:08:20.

of today, but a change overnight tonight and into tomorrow morning.

:08:21.:08:24.

Some glorious sunshine at the moment.

:08:25.:08:26.

This is one of our weather watchers - a fantastic picture

:08:27.:08:29.

And for the rest of today, really the sun continues to shine.

:08:30.:08:34.

It will be the hottest day of the year so far.

:08:35.:08:41.

To start with tonight, it's clear, but then later tonight we'll see

:08:42.:08:45.

a line of showers leave Dorset and coming to parts

:08:46.:08:50.

of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, into Bristol and Somerset.

:08:51.:08:56.

One or two heavy showers with the possibility

:08:57.:08:58.

of a rumble of thunder, and 16 or 17 will be

:08:59.:09:01.

And those showers should move away quite quickly

:09:02.:09:04.

for the start of the weekend, and Saturday is a dry day,

:09:05.:09:07.

another warm day, maybe not quite as warm as it has felt recently,

:09:08.:09:10.

And then as we head into the second half of the weekend,

:09:11.:09:14.

an increasing risk of seeing some heavy showers.

:09:15.:09:16.

Enjoy the afternoon ahead and the glorious weather.

:09:17.:09:22.
