A five-year-old girl from Berkshire died needlessly because ambulance | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
staff sent to help her failed to use a simple defibrillator | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
A coroner today recorded that neglect contributed | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
Her family say they've finally been given answers | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
It was here where Lilly-May collapsed as she ran out of school | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
as normal at the end of the day to greet her mum and her | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
What nobody knew then though was she had a genetic heart defect. | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
Two of the mums here that afternoon were trained nurses. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
They carried out chest compressions while they waited for an ambulance. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
That arrived within eight minutes but that is when mistakes | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
The first paramedic wasted precious seconds carrying Lilly-May | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
to the ambulance and then once inside took some minutes more | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
before connecting her to a defibrillator machine. | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
Crucially that paramedic then misinterpreted the information | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
from the machine and decided not to use it to kick-start | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Further medical experts arrived and they also failed to spot | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
that they could and should have administered an electric shock. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Had Lilly-May been distributed within 15 minutes of her collapse, | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
she would have survived and would still be with us. | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
The coroner has found that Lilly-May's death was contributed | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
to by neglect on the part of South Central Ambulance Service. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
We hope that everyone involved in this inquest will have learnt | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
from these events and that a child will not die again in the future | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
In response, South Central Ambulance have issued us a statement. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
It is also worth paying tribute to Lilly-May's family. | :01:49. | :02:06. | |
They have decided to try to make something positive | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
They fundraised in her memory and bought defibrillators for every | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Police investigating the death of a woman who was hit by a road sweeper | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
in Swindon are looking to speak to a taxi driver who may have | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
It happened outside Arkells Brewery on Beechcroft Road yesterday. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
It's understood the woman, who was 32, was going to collect | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Police say the taxi driver was not involved but could be a key witness. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
A young girl's being treated in hospital for serious head | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
injuries after a ceiling collapsed at her school in Milton Keynes. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
It happened at Southwood School at an after-school club | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
in the sports hall yesterday afternoon during the | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Two girls were hurt in the incident, one suffered minor injuries | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
The other was transferred to the Oxford Children's Hospital | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
and is in a serious but stable condition. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Time is running out for 20 squatters who've been living in a former | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
car showroom in Oxford for the past two months. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
They've been told they need to be gone by 10 o'clock | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
on Monday morning to make way for new student accommodation. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
They're now talking to churches and have even turned to Facebook | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
in an effort to find somewhere else to stay. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
A homeless man being made homeless again. | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
Karl's among 20 people who've benefited from this unofficial | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Now they've been told they all have to move on. | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
We've all started from being strangers and we've | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
It seems very saddening to be parting. | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
Campaigners angry about the lack of affordable homes in the city say | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
they set up the shelter after finding the building | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Since then they've received donations such as sofas, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
But Wadham College owns the building and wants to use | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
This place has given me safety, security, support, and without it | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
Appeals have been posted on Facebook in a bid to find a new home. | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
But campaigners have been speaking to churches and say they're | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
hopeful about finding a new location in time. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
I'm a little bit optimistic about what can be solved | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
I think there's a lot of good public will, | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
and that's what we're relying on to help us find more permanent | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
homes for the residents here, and the other people | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
In a statement Wadham College reiterated its profound | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
sympathy for the plight of the homeless in Oxford. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
But it said it's always made clear the squatters could not remain | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Karl says whatever the outcome he'll find a way to carry on. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
They were a part of childhood for many of us, now a new exhibition | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
has been launched in Reading telling the story of Ladybird books. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
The University archive has over 20,000 original illustrations. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
More recently the classic pictures have been used | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
Now a museum piece, Ladybird's pocket size ideal for little hands | :05:24. | :05:33. | |
was no mere marketing ploy back in their heyday. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
It was this size because of paper rationing. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
What they had to do was figure out how to | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
create an entire book in one piece of paper. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
That created the Ladybird book we know and love. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
If you are of a certain age, of course, it is very | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
likely this is one of the first books you ever got to read. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Of course, once you have mastered the basics, | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
that opened the door to an entire world of Ladybird books. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
The collection here includes many favourites and thousands of original | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Jimbo works hard all week and only has a few hours at | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
the weekend to spend with his family. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
He spends these hours watching sport. | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
At last night's gallery launch, two lifelong fans, now behind | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
a successful series of parodies using Ladybird's artwork. | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
Joe Campbell, BBC South Today, Reading. | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
That's it from the South Today late team this evening. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
There's more on the BBC News website. | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
But now here's Alexis with the weather, good night. | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
Good evening, clear spells at first allowing temperatures to fall to | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
freezing in some parts but the cloud will increase and we will have rain | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
during the course of the night. Mainly light and patchy and we could | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
have the odd moderate to burst. A fairly mild start tomorrow. The | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
temperatures will rise and they will be higher than today although we | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
will see outbreaks of rain which may become more persistent tomorrow | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
afternoon. Temperatures will reach 9010 Celsius. As we look ahead to | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
the rest of the weekend, Sunday is a dry day, bubbly one of the better | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
days. A fair amount of cloud, some brighter spells and a chance of an | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
isolated shower. Isolated showers on Monday. | :07:31. | :07:31. | |
few days it is that the stay miles. Outbreaks of rain at times | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
particularly as we head into Monday. A much calmer day today after the | :07:34. | :07:46. | |
nasty storm yesterday. Let's look at your pictures, tranquil from | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
Hampshire, on the edge of the new Forest. Nice cumulus clouds from | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Hartlepool. Still a bit stormy, that sea. We are starting to get more | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
pictures of bass coming | :08:01. | :08:04. |
