An exhibition at Stonehenge highlights different periods of connection with Europe in Britain's history.

"Scaremongering and lies" against mud dumping from new nuclear power station site, says minister.

Cooper Tire and Rubber Company said its Melksham factory "did not offer economies of scale".

Conservation workers at Tyntesfield House at Wraxall have made some "exciting" finds during work to replace the old battery-operated fire alarm system in the mansion.

They range from a servants' bell plate for a room which is still to be identified, to a page from a magazine published in 1866 while work to transform the house into the Gothic extravaganza it is now, was ongoing.

Over the past year more than 60,000 items have been documented, moved into storage and put back in exactly the same spot, while the new alarm system was installed.

"One bathroom has the original lino and we didn't want to lift it so that room still has the battery operated system," said Alana Wright from The National Trust.

"When we started, we didn't think there would be anything new to find, but as the floorboards came up we were delighted with these exciting finds," Alana added.

"It's been a big, big job and it's not going to be finished until early next year."

A man in his 70s is in a life-threatening condition after being hit by a car in Langport.

Police said the man was hit by a silver Vauxhall Corsa in North Street at about 19:50 BST.

The car stopped at the scene and an initial account was taken from the driver.

Police are keen to speak with any witnesses and asked anyone with any information to call on 101.

Proposed job cuts at the Cooper Tires factory in Melksham would be a "hammer blow" for the workforce according to the union, Unite.

The union called for guarantees of no compulsory redundancies after the firm announced plans to lose 300 jobs from a workforce of 732.

Unite said the company had been hit by the dumping of cheap inferior tyres from countries such as China.

Unite regional officer Tony Hulbert, said:“These proposed job losses will be a hammer blow for the Coopers workforce and the community, sending shockwaves through the local economy."

Unite national officer Tony Devlin added: “These job losses should be a wake-up call to government ministers. Unite has repeatedly warned the government that the dumping of cheap inferior tyres from countries like China is not only bad for road safety, but bad for UK jobs and manufacturing.

"Workers at Coopers Tires now face paying the price for government inaction with their jobs."

Gill Cocks from Winchcombe has been collecting Cadbury memorabilia since the 1970s.

Police have released a recording of a 999 call made by a wife being attacked by her husband in Somerset.

Christopher Jansons, 63, from Cannington near Bridgwater, had a phone cord around his wife's neck when police burst into their home.

Jansons admitted false imprisonment and making threats to kill at Taunton Crown Court and was jailed for two years and eight months on Tuesday.

The washing-up liquid bottle dating from at least 1971 was found in Port St Mary at the weekend.

Workers at Cooper Tires say the worst part of the news about possible job cuts is the uncertainty it brings.

Father and son Tom and Brad Wilkins spoke to the BBC after the meeting at the factory when it emerged bosses are looking at cutting 300 out of 732 jobs.

Around 300 jobs may go at Cooper Tires in Melksham, it has been announced.

There are currently 732 employees at the tyre production company.

All of the employees gathered in the factory car park to get the news.

Cooper Tires said it was going into "a consultation period to explore ceasing light vehicle tyre production at its Melksham site in Wiltshire over a period of 10 months".

General manager Jaap van Wessum said: "It is essential for Cooper to be globally competitive in the tyre industry.

"To deliver on our strategic growth objectives, we must produce quality light vehicle tyres in high volumes and at a competitive cost.

"Unfortunately, the Melksham site is an older, smaller facility that does not offer economies of scale and it is the highest cost facility in the global Cooper network.

"Due to facility age and location in the centre of town, it is our current view, subject to consultation, that it is not economically feasible to modernise or expand there for light vehicle tyre production."

A man has died after an accident on the A46 early this morning.

He was driving a motorcycle and was involved in a crash with a car at about 06:30 BST.

Police investigators closed the road for several hours, but it has now re-opened.

Attacks which have left two men in critical conditions are connected, police said.

A man in his 20s and a man in his 40s are both in hospital following the attacks in the Fishponds area of Bristol on Tuesday.

The man in his 20s was assaulted on Gill Avenue at around 18:50 BST while the man in his 40s was attacked on Downend Road at around 20:30 BST.

Police said roads remained closed in the area for crime scene examinations.

Det Insp Mike Buck said: "While we are in the early stage of our inquiry we have reason to believe the two incidents are linked."

Det Insp Buck asked for anyone who was in the areas of Gill Avenue and Downend Road last night who saw the incident, or anything else suspicious, to contact police.

“I’d also like to hear from anyone with footage of the incidents, such as that recorded on a dash-cam," he said.

“I expect there could well be motorists who drove past the Premier Store on Downend Road who could have captured something important without realising and I’d ask people to review their footage and share what they have with us."
