Welcome to BBC Points West on this Wednesday evening.
2
Thank you for joining us.
3
I'm David Garbston.
4
And our main story tonight, a wife gives evidence.
5
Joanne Young tells the jury she woke up and found a stranger in her bedroom.
6
She felt a hand on her wrist, heard her husband say get down, and saw a stranger duck at the end of her bed.
7
Her husband's already admitted more than 50 offences.
8
Our other headlines tonight.
9
What did you think of the budget?
10
We have reporters right across the West Country hearing your reaction.
11
I think he can do more to help older people who are on their own
12
that don't have a fortune in the bank.
13
And you saw him first.
14
Here we meet the young actor taking the lead role at the Bristol Old Vic.
15
Good evening.
16
The wife of a Swindon councillor who drugged her
17
and filmed strangers as they sexually abused her has been talking about the time she realised another man was in her bedroom.
18
Joanne Young, who has agreed for her name to be used, has been giving evidence in court today.
19
The case involves four men who have pleaded not guilty.
20
Her former husband, Philip advertised his wife online.
21
He's pleaded guilty to all the charges against him.
22
Fiona Lambden's report does contain disturbing detail.
23
Today the focus was on the woman at the heart of this story, Joanne Young, who was happily married to this man for 19 years.
24
Today in court, friends said they were good together, having built the dream relationship.
25
Philip Young was arrested three years ago after downloading extreme pornographic images.
26
But today we heard that his wife had had huge concerns.
27
In an interview played to the court, Joanne Young told police about an evening in February 2023.
28
She said she'd been out with her husband with friends.
29
They'd played ball games.
30
They'd come home and had a drink.
31
But during the night, Mrs Young woke up and found herself blindfolded and restrained.
32
She thought she was having sex with her husband when suddenly she realised someone else was in the bedroom.
33
She felt a hand on her wrist.
34
She heard her husband say, get down, and she saw a stranger duck down behind the bed.
35
Joanne Young locked herself in the bathroom, saying she was shocked and didn't know what to do.
36
The next day, we heard Philip Young cried as he apologised to her sitting on the sofa.
37
He said that he'd been looking in forums and had invited someone round to the house to watch us have sex.
38
I asked him if it had been just once or that he'd done it before and he said, no, it's just this once.
39
But 17 months later, on the day Philip Young was arrested, she asked him the same question.
40
That thing in February, was that the only time?
41
He stood there and he looked at me and he said,
42
no, it was different people and he walked back into the office and I never got an explanation.
43
I've never spoken to him again.
44
Earlier today, the court and public gallery were cleared
45
while the jury was shown videos of three men allegedly sexually assaulting Joanne Young.
46
In one, Connor Sanderson Doyle could be seen wearing a black balaclava whilst on the bed with Mrs Young.
47
In another video, when she was allegedly being abused by Richard Wilkins, Mrs Young could be heard snoring.
48
Many of the jury looked distressed as they watched on.
49
Philip Young, a former
50
Tory councillor and school governor, has already admitted a total of 56 charges, including drugging and raping his wife over a 13 -year period.
51
32 -year -old Connor Sanderson -Doyle, 62 -year -old Richard Wilkins,
52
48 -year -old Norman Maxoni and 38 -year -old Mohamed Hassan are all accused of abusing Joanne Young.
53
All plead not guilty.
54
A sixth man, Dean Hamilton, has already admitted four charges, including rape.
55
The case is expected to last for four weeks.
56
Fiona Lambden, BBC Points West.
57
The Chancellor has delivered his first budget and as always there are winners and losers.
58
Our reporters have been out across the West and in Westminster to find out what some of you have made of it.
59
Let's start in the Forest of Dean where our business correspondent Dave...
60
Watch the budget along with some pub landlords.
61
Are they smiling, Dave, or not?
62
Yeah, good evening, David, from the old
63
White Hart Inn in the centre of Colford.
64
I've come here today because a campaign was actually launched here a year ago, after last year's budget.
65
You may remember Rachel Reeves pretty much doubled the business rates that pubs have to pay.
66
And they'd been demanding help.
67
They wanted a big cut in their VAT.
68
Well, they didn't get it.
69
They got a small freeze in a budget which one landlord described to me as rather thin beer.
70
I've said that I'll be a Chancellor who champions the small British firms that give character to our communities.
71
Watching his words, people who do exactly that, keeping the lights on in Gloucestershire's locals, running hotels, cafes and pubs.
72
In the first week of this government, we cut 20 % off business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues from April next year.
73
Despite that, business rates for these publicans will still be much higher than they were a year ago.
74
Today, the Chancellor announced a freeze.
75
The increase is delayed for two years.
76
And some very small firms will pay nothing at all.
77
That means 70 ,000 more businesses.
78
I'm not just cutting their rates, I'm taking them out of paying business rates altogether. But that was it.
79
On the big campaign to slash VAT, the Chancellor was silent.
80
VAT wasn't even mentioned when it came to hospitality.
81
I mean, that's all we wanted.
82
After watching that, sometimes you just like to put the keys on the table and walk away.
83
Because we have to get up in the morning.
84
And every night we have to go and balance the books, and he's not helping us.
85
Really, really disillusioned, disheartened.
86
I don't believe they're interested in supporting small businesses and hospitality.
87
They talk a great talk about business support, but we're not getting any at all.
88
One of the biggest changes to pub finances was in the small print.
89
The minimum wage will go up 3 .9 % next year, hiking wage bills for every pub in the land.
90
It's going to make us want to employ less because we won't physically afford it.
91
And also as well, it's just going to inflate prices because extra costs means we've got to cover those costs, which will just push prices up.
92
John Healy missed a massive opportunity today to really invest in not just hospitality, but high streets like this in Colford.
93
He had an opportunity to do something that would really put the optimism, the hope and the growth back into these businesses.
94
And he's missed that opportunity totally.
95
They don't normally do politics in their pubs, but a campaign is now running here and they want more from their government.
96
Well, perhaps if there's no big news for pubs, in a way, it was very much a budget of small measures,
97
50 quid for everyone off their gas bill, £100 to help a lot of people through the winter heating.
98
And if they're not being helped directly, I guess our pubs and our hotels will hope that if people feel a tiny bit more comfortable,
99
perhaps they'll pop out for a drink
100
or take the family out for Sunday lunch because at the moment all our hospitality businesses are really feeling rather unloved.
101
And one tip, David, don't ask your local landlord if he's pleased that he's getting cheaper gherkins on his handbags.
102
That's a good tip as ever, Dave.
103
Thank you.
104
It looks a very nice pub where you are.
105
So how did it go down with local employers, young people and pensioners?
106
Our political reporters Hannah Miller and Marie Lennon have been finding out.
107
Here at Avonmouth Community Centre, the budget was on the TV during their regular Wednesday soup lunch.
108
And most people were cautiously optimistic about the impact of it on their energy bills.
109
The banks are going to pay a bit more tax so
110
that then people can get £100 off their energy bill this winter.
111
What do you think to that?
112
I think it's a good idea.
113
Why not?
114
I think it's quite positive for people like me.
115
So obviously we're just starting out with my career and seems to be focusing on more working people and the budget.
116
How big a deal are energy bills for you?
117
I think they're quite a high proportion of what I'm spending at the moment.
118
So I think the money that they're putting aside will really help out.
119
I think he can do more to help older people who are on their own
120
that don't have a fortune in the bank.
121
Does the idea of getting £100 off your energy bill make any difference to you this winter?
122
It will help, yes, because I'm all electric.
123
I never thought my life the way I lived before, all five -star holidays, was going to be like this.
124
When we talk about the cost of living crisis, we're now talking about years of this for people's livelihoods,
125
budgets, how they survive and some of what they're actually talking about is very, very minor.
126
in terms of once you start talking about £100 a year, in reality, what difference does that actually make?
127
You know, if that was £100 a month, then that would be making a significant difference.
128
So for me, I'm hearing something quite hopeful, but there's a long way to go.
129
And IMAT and Electrical Contractors in Swindon, the team here are responsible for powering up homes and businesses in the town.
130
They'd like a rewiring of the economy to make it easier for them to recruit more local people.
131
You know, the national insurance percentage increase and lowering of the cap has hit small businesses like mine massively.
132
So as some people have left, we haven't necessarily replaced them.
133
We've tried to do more with the team that we already have, which in some cases is just not doable.
134
You know, we're in an industry where we're delivering an actual service.
135
You physically need to go out and do something
136
and therefore it does take an amount of time and you need on some jobs,
137
you know, somebody at the bottom of a set of ladders holding them while somebody's working on them.
138
But that person's the same cost as the experienced person on the ladders.
139
So this is the balancing act all the time.
140
An apprentice electrician from start to finish, it's going to cost our business around about £100 ,000.
141
It is a huge investment
142
and we really do need the support to be able to do
143
that and we would love to be able to offer that.
144
It's all about helping for us, the next generation of people, and not just the young ones,
145
you know, we have more mature people that have come to us, doing an apprenticeship with us,
146
and we want to be able to offer it to them as well.
147
It is a day -to -day struggle having to stretch them out,
148
say, with all the costs of everything going up and the wages can't go up, say, because everyone's having to cover everything else.
149
So having to do extra jobs as well.
150
I also am self -employed doing bouncy castles as well.
151
So I do that at weekends, usually to get the extra income to come in.
152
Some of your thoughts, but let's head straight to Westminster and talk to our political editor.
153
Good evening, Paul.
154
There were a few mentions for our part of the world during the Chancellor's speech, weren't there?
155
Certainly were.
156
The Chancellor mentioned Bristol twice, talking about Rolls -Royce and a new engine being developed up at its Filton plant,
157
and also about regeneration in Temple Quarter, both of which are projects the government is giving a bit of support to.
158
But it's got to be said that overall his announcements were mostly modest.
159
We had that £100 that will go to most households to help with their energy bills.
160
Then we had some things which are continuing.
161
The VAT cut on electricity bills will go on a bit longer, plus also the fuel duty freeze that will remain in place.
162
It's got to be said, it comes against a backdrop of difficult financial circumstances for the Treasury.
163
Labour MPs I talked to were, by and large, pretty much all OK with it.
164
Amongst opposition MPs, well, one word kept recurring.
165
Well, it was very underwhelming.
166
I mean, it was difficult to stay awake.
167
There was nothing in there of any substance.
168
To be honest, I'm really a bit underwhelmed.
169
There was always a sort of boost about Labour, there's going to be a great budget.
170
But we didn't really see a huge amount in it, especially for Royal Somerset.
171
Distinctly underwhelming, as Kemi said, is that it?
172
More taxes, more spending, more borrowing, it's just more of the same from Labour.
173
Now, we know the new
174
Prime Minister is a big fan of mayors and the Chancellor, well, he wants to see more devolution and more mayors,
175
including, it's got to be said, for Swindon.
176
So we know as of today that it's going to be linking up with Oxfordshire
177
and Berkshire to create what's called the Thames Valley Mayorality.
178
Now, there was also an extra thumbs up for something which we already thought was going to happen, the Wessex Mayorality.
179
That's Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset getting together.
180
They've actually been cooperating for two years.
181
But for Swindon, it had been a lot less certain.
182
So some relief for the local MPs.
183
I think there's a lot in there.
184
So, for example, like Slough, Reading, you know, there is a lot which we have the similar social economic environment.
185
So I think absolutely, you know, And I think it's about not necessarily highlighting our differences, but highlighting the strengths.
186
Now, as regards those new mayoral areas, I don't expect them to come into existence, maybe till 2028.
187
As to the budget as a whole, well, the devil is often in the detail.
188
We've had the broad picture today.
189
We've had some immediate reaction.
190
But I think look out for what may emerge over the next 24,
191
48 hours to really get a sense of how budget 2026 will be remembered.
192
Yes, Paul, I agree.
193
It takes a day or two, doesn't it, for all to sink in and to settle down.
194
But we will be talking about it all on politics this Sunday.
195
Join us if you can.
196
Thank you, Paul. While you're watching
197
Points West here on BBC One, it's always nice to have you along.
198
Thanks for joining us.
199
There's lots more still to come, including...
200
I'm in Warminster, where the judging's underway to find the best pumpkin this side of Salisbury Plain.
201
And we now undergo a transition where the weather type will
202
be dominated by high pressure for quite a number of days ahead of us.
203
That means overall a good deal of dry and settled weather.
204
Details later.
205
Yes, that's all before 7 o 'clock.
206
But first, leaseholders at a block of flats in Bristol where water is pouring through ceilings, causing them to cave in,
207
say they're at their wit's end.
208
Portland View is a mix of owned and rented flats.
209
But after years of problems with huge leaks in the roof, they believe it wasn't built to the original spec.
210
Cheryl Dennis reports.
211
Water was just pouring down from this corner.
212
Almost everywhere you look, water is pouring into these flats.
213
We can do 50 litres or 60 litres in a day easily.
214
It's really stressful.
215
And, I mean, it's hard to sleep at night because we're kind of listening for rain and the sound of this drip.
216
Do you want to see the worst of our...?
217
It gets worse?
218
It gets worse, yeah.
219
Oh!
220
Whoa!
221
OK.
222
So we haven't been able to use the ensuite for several years.
223
The problems lie in the roof.
224
Residents say it wasn't built to the original plans.
225
Work to fix it was supposed to take place this summer.
226
It feels like we're kind of trapped here.
227
We can't leave.
228
The re -roofing project is stalled and no resolution in sight again.
229
So we're just at our wit's end, I think, at this point, aren't we?
230
Multiple flats are affected, as well as the communal areas.
231
I'm showing people my new apartment and they're stepping on the floor and just pools of water are coming out.
232
It's awful.
233
But I think I just feel really helpless.
234
There's no more funding for alternative accommodation for me.
235
And I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do because this was deemed uninhabitable.
236
I think it's definitely affected my emotional and mental state not to mention, obviously, the finance side of things.
237
And the number of apartments affected just keeps growing.
238
In this one, which is just below Sophie's, the ceiling collapsed above the shower.
239
The leaseholders say they're stuck in the middle of lots of groups with various interests in the building, with no -one taking full responsibility.
240
It doesn't really matter to us who's at fault.
241
We just need that action done.
242
There are the people who own the land below.
243
We can't get hold of them there are the insurers who referred us to Hillcrest.
244
And Hillcrest, which is the company responsible for the day -to -day management.
245
Representatives from their organisation arrived on site while we were there, but they didn't wish to discuss the issues with us.
246
Instead, in a statement, they said they recognise the seriousness of the problems with the roof,
247
they regret the inconvenience and will communicate with residents as soon as possible.
248
People living here are hoping that will be before another ceiling starts to fall in.
249
Cheryl Dennis, BBC Points West, Bristol.
250
What a rotten experience for them.
251
Well, here are some of the other stories you can see on the BBC News website and our social media pages.
252
Are you ready?
253
Here we go.
254
The Tar Steps Bridge on Exmoor is going to be repaired.
255
The middle section was washed away during the storms of the weekend.
256
Again, the structure is held together by gravity and friction.
257
Fancy this on your wall?
258
It's a stuffed head of a Tasmanian tiger.
259
It's up for auction in Bristol after it was found under someone's bed.
260
He's been named as Trevor.
261
Some GP surgeries in Gloucestershire have been offline today because of a glitch with their computer systems.
262
The company that provides the services has gone into administration.
263
And today's online video?
264
Time's gone flying in Wiltshire the town clock in Cricklade has been knocked over by a van.
265
It was last hit back in 1945.
266
And there's plenty more on the BBC News app or find us on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok.
267
Right, an actor from Bristol has landed the lead role in a production at the Old Vic.
268
Nine -year -old
269
Atlas went to an open audition for the role of Lanny in a world premiere of a play by the same name.
270
Let's take a quick look.
271
Do you, beneath the deck, have a two -foot?
272
Will's brother, Hugo, said he'd seen him climbing over their garden fence, a man made entirely out of ivy.
273
I take that with a pinch of salt.
274
Don't think he's real?
275
No. And I'm delighted to say that he's here to tell us all about it.
276
Hey, it's almost seven o 'clock.
277
Shouldn't you be on stage?
278
No, I'm not on stage today.
279
OK, because you're going to be on the mat, aren't you, soon?
280
Yeah.
281
OK, because you share the role, obviously, because you're nine years old.
282
So how did you get this part?
283
So there was an open audition.
284
My mum found it because her friend showed her the link to this Bristol Vic part.
285
So then she said to me, did you want to do this?
286
And I said, definitely.
287
So the first we did like a workshop, then it was the interviews, then we got in.
288
Gosh, and you went to the Pauline Quirk Academy, didn't you?
289
Yes, Pauline Quirk Academy.
290
Yes, where you learnt your trade.
291
Yeah.
292
Do you enjoy acting?
293
Definitely.
294
A lot of lines to learn, though.
295
Yeah.
296
What's it like with the rest of the cast?
297
Because as a nine -year -old, you're looked after all the time.
298
It feels good.
299
I made some friends like my stage brother called Lucian Thomas
300
and I've also made friends with the adults and they look after us, they're really kind.
301
Okay, and what's the play all about?
302
So it's this boy that moves into a Somerset village from London
303
and there's this mysterious creature called Dead Papa Toothbot
304
and he's like nature itself and Lani is different from all the other kids
305
so he's like he's connected to nature in a different way
306
that other people can't see it and he's also just different in a good way
307
so when he moves to this village he like meets up with dead
308
Papa Toothwap but he doesn't know
309
that right okay well it sounds very involving I've got to come
310
and see it now because you've you've sold it so well
311
But what about the future for you?
312
Because you're good at acting, are you good at school?
313
Yes, definitely.
314
You're good at sport?
315
Definitely.
316
Okay, so you've got it all, haven't you?
317
What would you like to do with the rest of your life?
318
I'd like to do acting and a bit of drawing.
319
Acting and drawing, the two.
320
And what has been the reaction from the audiences in the theatre?
321
So in my first show, they all standed up and clapped.
322
They didn't.
323
They actually did. Did they?
324
Some of them standed up and clapped.
325
And then the other one, in one of the bits where I do, put your hands up if you want some shoulders,
326
he can't, that bit when I'm, like, with Pete, an artist.
327
Yeah.
328
in the play.
329
I do that and they chuckle a lot.
330
A chuckle is always good.
331
I always work for a chuckle if I can sometime in the programme.
332
Thank you.
333
Take a bow.
334
Good, man.
335
Do you like spooky things, incidentally?
336
Not really.
337
Okay.
338
Well, you might want to turn away then because we're only a few nights away from Halloween.
339
And if you've got a pumpkin but aren't sure what to do with it, then be prepared to be inspired.
340
Have you got one?
341
Tonight in Warminster, the pumpkin carvers have been going head to head and Lee Madden has been checking them out.
342
Good evening.
343
Yes, for the next couple of minutes, try to put out of your mind all that chat about cash ices, petrol prices and energy bills,
344
because this is officially a budget -free zone here on BBC One
345
and that's because we're turning our attention to the annual pumpkin carving competition.
346
Now, it's been occupying a lot of the children and some of the adults over the past few hours here in Warminster,
347
so Fox and Robin, talk us through your design.
348
Oh, hello.
349
Yeah, we've done a two design, so we've got this one here that
350
Fox has designed, so he's drawn it out on paper
351
and then I had the fun job of trying to translate this into carving.
352
Because he's too young for a knife.
353
Yes, he's only three, so he's not allowed to touch the knives.
354
Fox, I love your hair.
355
That was brilliant.
356
So good luck, you guys.
357
Now over here, we've got Lisa and Lorelai.
358
You brought a pram.
359
Talk us through how you went all out.
360
So we thought we were bringing the pram into transportation, and then we thought we could just make a baby.
361
And how much do you want to win this competition?
362
Ten out of ten.
363
Ten out of ten.
364
Well, good luck.
365
And over here, we've got
366
Pete and Poppy.
367
So Poppy, talk me through them.
368
What's your design here?
369
The Gruffalo.
370
The Gruffalo.
371
So you obviously love the Gruffalo.
372
How long did it take?
373
All afternoon.
374
All afternoon.
375
Well, it was time well spent.
376
These pumpkins are all great as far as I'm concerned, but it's the judges they need to impress.
377
So we've got one of them here.
378
So the mayor, Jack Jones.
379
Hello.
380
What are you looking for then in your prize pumpkin?
381
Well, it's an impossible task, really, but we're looking for creativity, originality, and, of course, a clean -cut pumpkin.
382
A clean -cut pumpkin.
383
Well, good luck, everybody.
384
Now, if you want to find out who wins,
385
you can head over to the Warminster Town Council Facebook page where the winner will be revealed later on.
386
Exciting stuff.
387
Thank you, Lee.
388
Time for the weather with Ian tonight.
389
Hi.
390
Hello David.
391
Pleasant enough start today.
392
This was Chew Stoke, Bath and North East Somerset.
393
All of a similar sort of story really.
394
Some sunshine, bit of cloud around and then we entered into a day where, for some of you at least,
395
some damp weather started to become a little bit more dominant with time.
396
The weather radar has been shown the evolution of that from early this morning, courtesy of a weak front, a warm front in this case,
397
which has just been straddling parts of the west country and, You know, given these dribs and drabs of rain tending to weaken of late,
398
and it'll sink its way out southwards as we head on now through the course of tonight.
399
And we're actually going to see a major transition of weather type now, with high pressure starting to become dominant,
400
initially down towards the southeast of us, through France, towards Belgium, centring up towards Germany over the next couple of days,
401
holding fronts at bay out towards the west of us.
402
So no appreciable rain for the coming days.
403
And in fact, by the weekend, another area of high pressure building out west of us will then come
404
and migrate right over the top of us into Saturday and Sunday in particular, increasing risk of some fog around into that period.
405
But the dry weather will continue apace, as it will effectively do as we get through this evening into tonight,
406
with the last of that front just getting whittled away.
407
Legacy of that will be a fair amount of cloud around, but in some areas at least there could be some mistiness,
408
maybe the odd patch of fog about by first light tomorrow.
409
These are the sort of temperatures you can expect through the course of the night.
410
So tomorrow then it will be a day of mixed fortunes
411
in terms of the breaks in the cloud versus the cloud cover
412
But I think a trend generally into the afternoon for more in the way of some brighter
413
or sunnier spells across the patch
414
By that stage a moderate breeze in the south and say line
415
Bay those sort of areas
416
Lighter winds that further north you happen to go
417
and the temperatures tomorrow actually inherently a bit above average for the time of view
418
It'd normally be about 13 Celsius You can see we're a bit above
419
that around about 15 perhaps 16 Celsius It's pleasant enough.
420
So for the remainder of this week, albeit the area of high pressure positions itself differently, the overall theme is the same.
421
Plentiful dry weather, like I said, increasing scope for some fog to be developing,
422
not just for us but for other parts of the country as we head through the weekend.
423
Signal looks particularly strong for Sunday.
424
And on it continues in terms of dry conditions, but a tendency for temperatures to be a bit below average for the time of year.
425
Be interested to see just how far into November we can stretch
426
this out before the weather may well change back to a wetter, windy phase. May.
427
We shall see.
428
We shall see indeed.
429
Ian, thank you so much.
430
And that's where we have to leave you for now.
431
I'm back though at 10 with an update.
432
Bye -bye.
433
And do take care.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
