A quick reminder, you can see more of that interview with Pele on BBC

:00:00.:00:08.

Good evening. A woman from Oxford who's been battling extradition to

:00:09.:00:11.

the United States for four years has been told by the High Court she must

:00:12.:00:14.

go back to face parental kidnap charges. Eileen Clark came to the UK

:00:15.:00:17.

with her three young children in 1998 after the breakdown of her

:00:18.:00:20.

marriage. Her lawyers claims she was a victim of domestic violence and

:00:21.:00:23.

shouldn't be facing any criminal charges. Charlotte Stacey reports.

:00:24.:00:34.

Rebecca was just six when she came to the UK with her mum and two

:00:35.:00:41.

brothers. They now call Oxford home, but four years ago her mum, Eileen,

:00:42.:00:46.

was arrested and charged with international parental kidnapping.

:00:47.:00:49.

That was probably the worst day of my life. I remember it very clearly.

:00:50.:00:54.

I remember the police officers walking out with her. I remember her

:00:55.:01:00.

crying profusely. My brothers having a stern face, as brothers often do.

:01:01.:01:06.

After a series of court hearings and a failed appeal, human rights

:01:07.:01:10.

organisation Liberty took up Eileen's case in 2012. They believe

:01:11.:01:17.

issues like the fact she was in an abusive marriage hadn't been

:01:18.:01:19.

properly considered. We had a lot of evidence that that was going on and

:01:20.:01:24.

that's why she left. To require a victim of domestic violence 20 years

:01:25.:01:28.

later to go back and answer these charges is wholly disproportionate,

:01:29.:01:32.

a waste of everybody's time and it will have a terrible impact on

:01:33.:01:38.

Eileen and her children. Eileen suffers from post`traumatic stress

:01:39.:01:42.

disorder, a fear of flying and other anxieties issues. Her family fear

:01:43.:01:47.

for her future. My worry is she will be sent back to prison and she will

:01:48.:01:54.

sit there and rot in a jail cell and just... And nothing good will come

:01:55.:01:59.

of this, because it is not about justice in the end, it is vengeance.

:02:00.:02:04.

What happens next rests with the European Court of Human Rights,

:02:05.:02:06.

which should make a decision in a matter of weeks. Her family say that

:02:07.:02:11.

Eileen still believes that leaving the United States was the right

:02:12.:02:13.

thing to do. A man accused of murder has told a

:02:14.:02:16.

court in Milton Keynes that he had no idea his friend planned to kill

:02:17.:02:20.

two teenagers. Mohammed Farah and Amin Ismail were shot in a dispute

:02:21.:02:23.

over drug dealing on the Fishermead estate in 2011. Brahim Hajji, who's

:02:24.:02:26.

from Holland, wept in court as he admitted he was present at the

:02:27.:02:29.

murders, but said he did not take part. He and 20`year`old Kenyan`born

:02:30.:02:32.

Ahmed Ahmed deny the charges. A 49`year old man has been charged

:02:33.:02:40.

with arson following after a series of fires in Banbury. Three cash

:02:41.:02:43.

machines on the high street and the Freemasons village hall were

:02:44.:02:46.

targeted last Thursday. Colin Aries, who's homeless, has appeared before

:02:47.:02:48.

magistrates and been remanded in Beef farmers in the region say their

:02:49.:02:50.

income has dropped by around a quarter in the last year. They're

:02:51.:02:59.

blaming a rise in imported meat and say supermarkets need to be more

:03:00.:03:02.

supportive of local farmers. Jeremy These cows at chart ridge in Great

:03:03.:03:17.

Missenden are ready for market but there's no market for them, as

:03:18.:03:22.

demand for British beef is so low. We've had to keep animals here

:03:23.:03:28.

another six weeks, that's six weeks worth of bedding, feed and labour.

:03:29.:03:32.

Last year these cows were fetching the up to ?1,500 each. These are now

:03:33.:03:40.

worth ?1,100 and that loss adds up to around ?60,000 this year at the

:03:41.:03:45.

farm. British beef is worth less now partly because more meat is big

:03:46.:03:49.

imported, especially from Ireland and Poland. Also our eating habits

:03:50.:03:54.

are changing a. People are choosing not the spend on expensive beef

:03:55.:03:58.

joints. They are opting for cheaper cuts instead. This family feels let

:03:59.:04:07.

down by supermarkets who said back British food after the horsemeat

:04:08.:04:11.

scandal. Last week they said they did need us and would buy British

:04:12.:04:16.

beef, but 12 months on we don't see that now. The apprenticeship Retail

:04:17.:04:21.

Consortium says farmers of all livestock have the support of big

:04:22.:04:27.

chains. The Government is meeting beef producers and buyers next

:04:28.:04:32.

month. One thing we are looking at is opening up exports markets, to

:04:33.:04:38.

China for instance. A second we'll be looking at whether there is a

:04:39.:04:46.

role for a supermarket adjudicator. This family also produce crops and

:04:47.:04:50.

are confident their century old family farm will survive, but they

:04:51.:04:54.

are weighing up whether or not there is a future in cattle.

:04:55.:04:58.

?180 million is needed in Buckinghamshire over the next ten

:04:59.:05:01.

years to rebuild schools. Pupil numbers are expected to increase,

:05:02.:05:03.

particularly in Aylesbury and High Wycombe as the population grows. The

:05:04.:05:06.

County Council estimates it will need to rebuild an average of three

:05:07.:05:09.

It's a new take on takeaways. Oxford could become one of the first places

:05:10.:05:16.

in the country to ban polystyrene takeaway cartons. The city council's

:05:17.:05:19.

agreed that kebab and burger vans should only use biodegradeable or

:05:20.:05:22.

recyclable cartons. Stuart Tinworth has the story.

:05:23.:05:30.

Kebabs and chips with all the trimmings. Even if you are one of

:05:31.:05:39.

those who skips the salad, at least the packaging is set to get greener.

:05:40.:05:43.

The City Council is set to become possibly the first in Britain to

:05:44.:05:50.

insist that fast food vans use biodegradable or recyclable

:05:51.:05:56.

packaging When they throw away polystyrene it stay there is

:05:57.:05:59.

forever. The rule would be written into the terms of their licences but

:06:00.:06:04.

would people miss them? Every step towards green is positive but it

:06:05.:06:09.

needs to be billion balanced with the kebab van's interests. I think

:06:10.:06:14.

it is a great idea. Anything that contributes to saving the

:06:15.:06:18.

environment is a good thing. Some van owners are worried about

:06:19.:06:22.

suitable replacements but others have already invested in better

:06:23.:06:28.

boxes. My box is very easy for the council, for the bin. Green

:06:29.:06:32.

campaigners like OxClean are delighted. The proposals will now go

:06:33.:06:38.

out to consultation. In the meantime OxClean wants a simple message

:06:39.:06:43.

stamped on polystyrene cartons ` please bin me.

:06:44.:06:46.

Alexis is coming up with the regional weather forecast. That's

:06:47.:06:49.

A beautiful day today and another one tomorrow. One or two mist

:06:50.:07:03.

patches but clear spells. Temperatures in our towns and cities

:07:04.:07:08.

will drop to 11`12 Celsius. In the countryside perhaps 8`9 degrees.

:07:09.:07:13.

Blue skies from the word go tomorrow but during the mid morning and early

:07:14.:07:17.

afternoon we'll see cloud from the west. Still some sunny spells and

:07:18.:07:21.

remaining dry, with temperatures reaching a high of 22, possibly 23

:07:22.:07:27.

Celsius. Looking good as we head through the rest of the week.

:07:28.:07:30.

Temperatureses could be the warmest they have been this year on Friday.

:07:31.:07:32.

Up next is of a late storm, it turns a bit

:07:33.:07:34.

fresher into the weekend. On the eve of the World Cup, there

:07:35.:07:45.

was a bit of Brazil in Bridlington today because Bridlington on the

:07:46.:07:48.

east Yorkshire Coast shared the same top temperature as the Brazilian

:07:49.:07:52.

city of Sao Paulo, 22 degrees. That is as the weather settles down

:07:53.:07:56.

across the UK as this area of high pressure comes in. It's still with

:07:57.:08:00.

us at the weekend but its position will have changed slightly, changing

:08:01.:08:03.

the weather for some of us as a result, as we'll see in a moment.

:08:04.:08:08.

For the rest of tonight, it is dry and mainly clear. There will be some

:08:09.:08:12.

patchy mist and fog forming in south-west England and Wales, which

:08:13.:08:15.

will create weekly in the morning, and amateurs will fall away in the

:08:16.:08:19.

larger towns and city centres and
