  8. Foo Fighters in Frome: Questions over which night they'll headline Glasto

    A few minutes ago, the Foo Fighters announced they would indeed be the headline act at Glastonbury Festival this year - although there seems to be a little confusion as to whether they'll be taking to the Pyramid Stage on the Saturday or the Sunday night.

    Michael Eavis said "Saturday 25th June", but the 25th is a Sunday, not a Saturday...so the speculation continues.

  9. Breaking Foo Fighters in Frome: Michael Eavis announces Glastonbury headliners

    Foo Fighters and Michael and Emily Eavis

    After much speculation and excitement, one of the biggest rock bands in the world has begun its gig in Somerset.

    Some 700 fans have got tickets to see the live show at the Cheese and Grain - and it's also being live-streamed here  for fans who weren't lucky enough to get a ticket.

    As anticipated, this is one big stunt to let everyone know that they will be headlining Glastonbury Festival this year.

    The live stream began with a video showing them being taken to the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm by Michael and Emily Eavis in a brief skit.

    The Foo Fighters were told the stage wasn't ready but there was a great local venue down the road, which they could check to see if it was free for them to play.

    This crossed to the live stream inside the Cheese and Grain where they were introduced by Michael Eavis as the headline act for the festival.

  11. Toddler shooting sentence: Parent's reaction

    A Bristol man who shot a crying toddler in the head with an air rifle has been jailed for two years at Bristol Crown Court. 

    Jordan Walters left 18-month-old Harry Studley with lifelong injuries when he fired at him last July.

    During sentencing, Judge Julian Lambert said: "Only the resolution of Harry in his fight for life and the brilliance of the surgical team saved him. 

    "But for your grossly irresponsible behaviour, Harry Studley would today be a bouncing little boy with unlimited expectations ahead of him in life." 

    The judge also said Harry is showing symptoms of epilepsy and has badly impaired vision "and will so suffer for life".

    His parents, Ed Studley and Amy Allen spoke to our Home Affairs Correspondent Charlotte Callen.

  12. Newcastle United v Bristol City: Team news

    Aleksandar Mitrovic

  13. Estate agent fined £200k after woman fell down well

    An estate agents has been fined £200,000 after a house hunter fell down a 30ft foot well in a garden of a property she was being shown around. 

    She suffered head injuries and still has post-traumatic stress disorder after the fall in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, in April last year. 

    Swindon Magistrates heard how the woman had stepped onto a wooden board which gave way and she was trapped down the well, submerged in water, for an hour.

    An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive found Strakers in Devizes had been warned about the well and the board didn't look safe. 

    Strakers admitted breaching Health and Safety laws.

    Foo Fighters gig at Cheese and Grain

    It's the worst kept secret ever - the Foo Fighters, who are one of the most popular rock bands in the world, have been rumoured to be playing here at the Cheese and Grain in Frome for a couple of days.

    But if it was a secret, it's not anymore because one of the band's guitarists, Pat Smear - even I remember him from his days with Nirvana - was here signing autographs for about 50 people. There's great excitement among the small crowd as you might imagine.

    It's long been rumoured they may also be playing Glastonbury this year. They were meant to be heading there a few years ago but the lead singer broke his leg and they've been trying to rearrange ever since.

    We think, and a lot of people think, they're using this is a PR stunt to announce to the world they will be headlining the festival.

  15. Bristol v Bath: Team news

    Jonathan Joseph

    Bottom-of-the-table Bristol make eight changes to the team that lost at Leicester Tigers last week.

    Bath can call on the services of Jonathan Joseph after the centre was left out of the England squad for the Six Nations game against Italy.

    Scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i and flanker Francois Louw both miss out because of suspension.
