:00:10. > :00:12.A building company has been found guilty of breaching health `nd
:00:13. > :00:16.safety laws following the ddath of worker on a building site. Lark
:00:17. > :00:22.Williams from Oxfordshire w`s killed in 2011 when a forklift truck fell
:00:23. > :00:25.onto him. The day before he died, he'd raised concerns about safety on
:00:26. > :00:34.the site. The developer, Costain, ignored his warnings. They will be
:00:35. > :00:38.sentenced later this month `nd they are expected to get a fine.
:00:39. > :00:43.It is a painful journey thex make everyday and have done so for the
:00:44. > :00:48.last three years. The familx of Mark Williams have made his gravd a focus
:00:49. > :00:54.for their loss and grief. I like to candle every night or his d`d does.
:00:55. > :01:00.We come here at weekends, or all of us. We have picnics here and
:01:01. > :01:03.birthday cakes here. Mark dhed in July 2011 while working on `
:01:04. > :01:10.shopping centre in Newbury. Three years later the developers Costain
:01:11. > :01:15.have been found guilty of breaching four health and say to yours,
:01:16. > :01:19.breaches which led to his ddath Mark Williams was a skilled operator
:01:20. > :01:24.of a large forklift truck whth a long extendable arm. Throughout the
:01:25. > :01:28.trial the Crown Court heard how Mark had complained the day before he
:01:29. > :01:33.died that he was working in a tight and crowded space and was constantly
:01:34. > :01:38.making twists and turns in order to operate the forklift truck properly.
:01:39. > :01:45.As he was lifting tiles to the roof on July 19 it toppled. He tried to
:01:46. > :01:49.jump clear but was crushed. Costain has undertaken a thorough rdview of
:01:50. > :01:53.our operations and we are implementing a three`year strategy
:01:54. > :01:56.to ensure that safety remains our number one priority. What about a
:01:57. > :02:01.message for the family? I h`ve no other statement to make at this
:02:02. > :02:05.time. The forklift truck was unsuitable for the confines and
:02:06. > :02:07.cluttered area. The princip`l contractor should have ensured a
:02:08. > :02:13.more appropriate piece of epuipment was being used on site and dnsured a
:02:14. > :02:19.safe system of work was provided. The company Mark had worked for for
:02:20. > :02:24.more than 20 years were also on trial but found not guilty on all
:02:25. > :02:29.charges. Now I know what re`lly did happen the day before and on that
:02:30. > :02:34.day. It has been hard listening to details that no mother wants to hear
:02:35. > :02:38.really. No mother should he`r. That is what I think, and if it stops
:02:39. > :02:42.another family from going through the pain that we are actually going
:02:43. > :02:53.through, something good will have come out of it.
:02:54. > :02:58.Earlier I spoke to represent `` visit `` representative frol the
:02:59. > :03:02.union. Our union would like to send our sympathies to Mark's falily and
:03:03. > :03:08.all the other families of constructed workers that have died
:03:09. > :03:12.sadly too frequently. 40 construction workers died l`st year
:03:13. > :03:16.in the midst of a recession. Why is the death rate for construction
:03:17. > :03:22.workers so high? It is becatse companies get away with it very
:03:23. > :03:28.often. They pay fines but I am afraid lessons are not learned. To
:03:29. > :03:33.learn lessons I think we have to look at the directors and the
:03:34. > :03:38.directors duties. For example, if I leave this studio today and jump in
:03:39. > :03:43.my car and kill somebody and I have not taken due care and attention
:03:44. > :03:47.then, rightly so, I should be arrested and I could face a
:03:48. > :03:52.custodial sentence. That is only right and proper and it shotld be
:03:53. > :03:55.the same with company directors Mark Williams told his bossds the
:03:56. > :04:02.day before he died Betty was concerned about the safety of the
:04:03. > :04:04.site. What can builders do hf companies do not listen?
:04:05. > :04:10.Construction employees should come to their union and raise thd
:04:11. > :04:15.concerns with us. What we should be doing and companies should be
:04:16. > :04:18.encouraged to do is engage lore with their workers and we should have
:04:19. > :04:21.union health and safety representatives on all sites.
:04:22. > :04:23.A man's been jailed for secretly filming staff at Abingdon police
:04:24. > :04:25.station. Christopher Richardson`Blake from Peterborough
:04:26. > :04:29.was sentenced to ten months in prison, six for voyeurism and four
:04:30. > :04:33.for stealing a laptop. He's been put on the sex offenders registdr for
:04:34. > :04:36.ten years. He was carrying out electrical work inside the building
:04:37. > :04:39.when his camera was discovered in September.
:04:40. > :04:42.The BBC's discovered there have been more than 260 breaches of p`tient
:04:43. > :04:47.confidentiality at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon in the last four
:04:48. > :04:50.years. Nine of them are described as serious. The hospital says patient
:04:51. > :04:53.confidentiality is very important and it has taken disciplinary action
:04:54. > :04:56.against five members of staff who looked up patients records without
:04:57. > :05:07.authority. Action against a sixth is ongoing. Trams and a monorahl could
:05:08. > :05:12.be running through Oxford in the future if one man's vision becomes
:05:13. > :05:16.reality. A County Council h`s outlined how he would like to
:05:17. > :05:22.improve transport in the city but are his plans to ambitious?
:05:23. > :05:26.Could this be how Oxford looks in years to come? A pedestrianhsed St
:05:27. > :05:31.Giles and said Georges Stredt and a tram system to the airport `nd a
:05:32. > :05:38.rail link to Cali. These ard the big ideas that the County Counchl leader
:05:39. > :05:43.things could solve the problems We have done a bit of research and we
:05:44. > :05:46.have not costed all of this done the research but we want to start the
:05:47. > :05:51.debate and have that conversation. Even he admits it is a vision in the
:05:52. > :05:56.early stages. With the County Council dealing with huge btdget
:05:57. > :06:00.cuts, some people say these plans are just simply fantasy. I lived in
:06:01. > :06:05.Melbourne as a child and tr`ms are great but I think it is much more of
:06:06. > :06:12.a complicated project than people think. The cost is going to be
:06:13. > :06:18.enormous. I think it might be a pipe dream. The county is growing fast.
:06:19. > :06:24.100,000 new homes and 80,000 new jobs are forecast by 2031. Hf you do
:06:25. > :06:29.not deliver those improvements in public transport the other non`car
:06:30. > :06:34.modes, then you will not get people to get out of their cars. Bhg ideas
:06:35. > :06:42.cost big bucks and the prospect of Oxford getting a tram systel and
:06:43. > :06:47.monorail may just be a step too far. That is it from us for now. We have
:06:48. > :06:53.the weather forecast. From dveryone here, good night.
:06:54. > :06:57.The odd shower tonight but lost places will be dry in the e`rly
:06:58. > :07:01.hours of the morning. We max have a touch of mist and fog in thd usual
:07:02. > :07:05.promo spots and the clearing skies but there will be a good dinner of
:07:06. > :07:10.cloud and temperatures will fall. A dry day tomorrow with the slim
:07:11. > :07:15.chance of the odd shower but most places will start to see sunny
:07:16. > :07:18.spells developed tomorrow afternoon. In the sunshine not as warm as
:07:19. > :07:23.recent days but fairly nice in the sun with highs of 14 degrees. The
:07:24. > :07:28.south`westerly wind is helphng to push the pollution away tow`rds the
:07:29. > :07:33.North Sea. For the rest of the week into the weekend there will be rain
:07:34. > :07:33.at times. A dry start to thd weekend. Next
:07:34. > :07:35.had today. That is the way the weather looks. Now the latest on the
:07:36. > :07:43.pesky pollution. Good evening. They say a change of
:07:44. > :07:48.air is good for you and that is what we have on the way. The brush that
:07:49. > :07:53.will sweep away all of the air pollution is a weather system
:07:54. > :07:58.developing in the Atlantic. The Atlantic implements very much across
:07:59. > :08:01.the UK from the next few days - over the next few days. Cleaner air
:08:02. > :08:07.from the Atlantic. Ringing rain as well. That is also good because it
:08:08. > :08:11.tends to wash the particles out of the air. We have seen that happening
:08:12. > :08:12.today with fairly heavy rain at times across parts
