Wollaston, the MP who first brought Good evening. An inquest has begun

today into the death of an hnmate at Grendon Underwood prison in

Buckinghamshire. Robert Coello was a convicted paedophile. He was serving

a life sentence for raping ` child, when he was murdered in his cell by

another prisoner. The attacker has already been jailed for lifd for

what happened. A short time ago I asked my reporter why this case had

become before an inquest jury. 44`year`old Robert Coello h`d done

time behind bars at Grendon Underwood in Bucks for a series of

sexual crimes he committed `gainst a child. He was sharing the whng in

his prison with another 26`xear`old. It was eight therapeutic prhson

which means prisoners are encouraged to talk about the offences they have

committed. However, this man could not face the offences that Robert

Coello had committed, and one day, he took him to one side and kicked

him to death in his prison cell This man has been convicted of the

murder of Robert Coello and is serving 35 years. What more did we

learn today? This was not about finding someone guilty of a crime

today, this is more about trying to discover the series of events that

led to a murder. We found ott that the man had told inmates and staff

that he had had violent fantasies and he believed that Robert Coello

should be put down for his crimes. The jury were told that staff felt

under pressure to fill prison spaces, and that paedophiles would

normally be kept away from violent inmates. The inquest, though, does

continue. Thank you. Police say it could be some time before tdsts

identify a human bone which was discovered in the same field where

the body of a murdered girl from Swindon was found three years ago.

21`year`old Becky Godden`Edwards disappeared in 2003. Wiltshhre

Police said the new discovery has come about as part of a

re`investigation into her mtrder. The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick

Clegg, says the shortage of houses in Oxfordshire shows the nedd for

more garden cities. Nick Cldgg says support for a garden city in

Bicester shows the right approach towards meeting the requirelent for

new homes. The Government's inviting areas to come forward with plans for

three new garden cities. Thdy'll be partly paid for with public money.

Particularly in that arc of prosperity, from Oxford through to

Cambridge, where normal people want to live cannot, or are totally

priced out of the housing m`rket, one way of making sure more families

can live there and work there is to plan it properly. That is what the

process is all about. Drivers on the M25 can now use a section of the

hard shoulder as an extra traffic lane. The change is a foret`ste of

what's already being planned for the M4 through Berkshire. The stretch

between junctions 23 and 25 will be available at all times. The Highways

Agency says it should reducd congestion but critics have raised

concerns about safety when vehicles break down. The World Liter`cy

Summit opened in Oxford tod`y, bringing together experts from

across the globe. It aims to address poor literacy on an international

scale. But the problems aren't just limited to the developing world as

Charlotte Stacey reports. Bringing literacy to life. Here at this

Museum in Oxford, children can create their own characters and make

up their own stories. Reading is a joy, not a chore. I like im`gining

that the scene is in my head. I just like the excitement. It takds you

away to another world. I like adventure books because somdtimes

they are quite scary. I likd seeing pictures. If it does not have

pictures, you can imagine it in your head and it is fun to read on your

own. Not everyone loves litdracy and reading and writing can be `n

obstacle for many people. In the developing world, gender can be a

barrier. There are problems here as well, for different reasons. We have

busy parents and there is a temptation to entertain children

with digital versions of entertainment. Teachers are telling

us that children are arriving at school with not enough spokdn

language for them to read and write. If you do not have the words in your

head, you will not be able to start. More than 100 people from around the

world will join forces in Oxford to tackle literacy issues glob`lly

Literacy means the moment and development means better lives. It

means more peaceful communities and this is what we want to see happen

for women, for children, for men. This is what we should all be

working for. It is not just reading and writing, the summit this year is

addressing financial and cultural literacy as well. Delegates here

want real change and they are putting literacy act on the agenda.

The St John Ambulance Service is creating a new team of volunteers

dedicated to providing emergency first aid at Oxford's Kassal

Stadium. The unit will be the first of its kind in the country working

solely at one venue. While St John volunteers already provide

assistance at all matches, organisers hope having a dedicated

team will allow first aiders to strengthen relationships and work

more closely with match offhcials. We will hopefully get new volunteers

that are applying. These people will specifically be working herd and it

is something new that I havd agreed to trial in my district. We have

agreed to try it at this st`dium first and if it goes well, we will

roll it out to other stadiuls. Coming up in an hour, here on BBC

One, Late Kick Off will havd all the highlights and analysis of the

weekend action for the South's football teams. We are back tomorrow

during Breakfast, good night. Clear skies tonight so pretty chilly and

there maybe a touch of frost in the countryside. There maybe sole mist

patches as well. There hardly be any cloud in the sky which means

temperatures will fall away to three or four Celsius in towns and cities,

a little lower in the countryside. A frosty start to the day but lots of

sunshine from the word go. Ht will stay that way in the afternoon,

perhaps a little bit of clotd, but otherwise pleasantly warm whth highs

of 14 or 15 Celsius. As we look towards the rest of the week, lots

of sunshine on offer with high`pressure in charge. Later on

Thursday we will will be fresher than today. 12

degrees along the vestry and 16 in London. More sunshine for Wednesday

and clouding over towards the end of the week. Your regional forecast

will have offered you another fine day tomorrow.

That is the story nationwide. High pressure is plonked on top of us.

This evening it has been turning quite chilly quite quickly and it

will be cold for the middle of April overnight. In larger towns and

cities it will be down to single figures and rural areas
