I think its a fundamental change and a very important decision. Trustees say its time to end the Toxic Association with slavery. If ive got members of staff who are uncomfortable coming in the building, if there are people, bristolians, and people from further afield who feel that this place isnt for them because of perceived associations, then thats something i cant be doing with. Like other ports around the uk, this city is still struggling to come to terms with the role that it played in the brutality of the slave trade. A period which brought wealth and influence, but which also caused lasting shame. So for some, todays announcement was a pointless attempt to air brush history. For others, its a moral victory. Id look at that and think a disgusting man. He could have been involved in the transportation of my ancestors to a life of hardship. I think its far too pc. I think its ludicrous. I mean, its at colston hall for donkeys years. Thats the brand and thats what we should stick wi

His first thoughts, for the young soldier who died alongside him and for those whod helped his recovery. Its quite hard to put into words. I mean, im a product of all the people whove slightly helped me along away. So from the guys who tucked a tourniquet on my leg, to the doctors, the nurses, the physios, to the racing world. Just quite nice quiet moment to just try and take it in and think back to a few people as well. Just competing though has been a victory. For four years, the authorities wouldnt let him, fearing his Prosthetic Leg could get trapped in his own stirrup. If i had my foot in the iron and fell backwards and right, id get my toes caught like that and then be dragged, which is, you know, a pretty horrific experience. It took this device, called a toe stopper, to allow him to race. It means you physically cant get stuck in the iron. My foot is all the way in it. If i fall, you slide along the top and you would come out. Yeah, so far so good, it works really effectively.

In sport, theyre calling it one of the greatest european ties ever. Barcelona make history by coming from 4 0 down against Paris St Germain to win with the last kick of the game. And two years after historic Clandon Park House was gutted by fire, we report on the start of the huge restoration task. And carol has the weather. Good morning. For many this morning its a fairly cloudy start, also a damp one with showers or some rain but by mid morning, for most well have some lovely springlike weather with a fair bit of sunshine except across the Channel Islands and the south west, where it will be cloudy and damp, and it will be quite a windy day for some of us. More in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story.
