That's all from us. Don't forget, there's a first look

at the 17 years after an arson attack

on a house which left two young children dead

in East Oxford, a woman has gone Fiaz Munshi is accused

of being involved in the firebomb attack, which claimed the lives of

Majid Khan, aged 15 years, and his Magdalen Road in Oxford,

August 1997. A house fire

which claimed the lives of two young children ` eight`year`old Anum Khan

and her 15`year`old brother, Majid. This is the fatal conclusion of

an ongoing dispute between the Khan family and the accused Fiaz Munshi,

seen here seventeen years ago. She had been involved

in a secret romance with Anum But his family disapproved and told

her family about the relationship. Amjad then broke it off with Fiaz,

who, the court heard, angry at his family's interference,

travelled to the Khan house from Stevenage with seven others

and conspired to set the fire When the group arrived,

two of them squirted petrol from drink bottles, like these, through

the letterbox and set it alight. Seven people were in the house,

five had to jump But Anum was trapped and died

of smoke inhalation. Majid suffered over 50% burns

and died a few days later. In November 1998, five men were

convicted of killing the children. A year later, Fiaz's sister,

Riaz Munshi, The jury were also told

about an error by Thames Valley Police in 2005, which meant

information about Fiaz being back in That meant plans to question her

were delayed by eight years. Today Prosecutor Neil Moore said

that Fiaz Munshi was ?exceptionally close to the plan

and it was inconceivable she wasn't He added that she ?held

a grudge against the Khan family? and she was hostile on the night

of the attack. 38`year`old Fiaz Munshi denies two

counts of murder Work is due to start on 29 bridges

across Oxfordshire to make way for the new electrified Great Western

railway line into Oxfordshire. Trains will be faster and cleaner,

but in the meantime car journeys may slow down ` as in some cases,

roads will be closed for months. By 2017, this line will be carrying

electrified trains First though, overhead cables

need to go under here. 100 bridges will be altered

over 200 miles of track. 29 are in Oxfordshire,

including three bridges on busy routes in Grove, Steventon, and in

Challow ` where work is due to start in September, meaning this road

between Faringdon and Wantage, the Please let me keep my business,

really ` that is the answer. By doing this for 18 weeks,

I might not be able to. And Ted?s is not the only business

nervous about the closure. People commuting from Faringdon

and smaller villages to Stanford in the Vale have got the villages

that they can cut through. We need to find

a different route for the HGVs which is safe, but obviously we are

going to occur more costs in fuel. Oxfordshire County Council are

working with Network Rail and the A338 will not now be closed

while work takes place But the same cannot be said

for Challow. We would have to acquire significant

amounts of land in order to provide a solution that avoided closing the

road, which would severely disrupt Therefore, it is not a viable

option at this particular site. Ted and other business owners

are still hoping Network Rail A petition to keep the A417 open

has got more than 400 signatures. A charity in Milton Keynes is urging

thousands of so called hidden carers Many of those looking after a family

member do not see themselves as Dave Hunt, a former policeman,

retirement to care for him. Overnight our lives were

turned upside down, really. wasn't trained in any way,

I would have panicked. It is estimated that there are

21,000 carers in Milton Keynes Many are looking

after a child or parent, so do not so far on Friday. We will have to

wait and see for that. Now the National forecast. Hello. The

thunderstorms and bumbling around at the end of the day and the most

intense in north-west England. In Lancashire, Preston about 15 metres
