Hello. Good evening. A mother whose 15`year`old daughter died from an | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
ecstasy overdose is calling for recreational drugs to be legalised. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Martha Fernback took the tablet last summer. A 17`year`old boy was | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
convicted of supplying it to her. A Coroner said her death was an | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
accident. A grieving mother's surprising message about young | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
people and illegal drugs. Prohibition is not working thanked | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
is a certainty. `` working and that is a certainty. We need to look at | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
other approaches, based on realism. Anne Marie Coeburn lost her only | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
child to ecstasy last July. She suffered a heart attack after taking | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
the drug in Hinksey Park, Oxford. She didn't know it was 91% pure. | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
Five times normal levels. Her mother wants some substances | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
decriminalised, with testing facilities which could help people | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
make informed decisions about taking them. I don't think anyone wants to | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
think of their children taking drugs. It is very scary. If they are | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
going to do it anyway, it is reassuring to know they are from a | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
source which can be trusted, licensed and so on while they are | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
going through that phase. Something ex`co``ed by one Martha | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
that closest `` something ex`co``ed by one of Martha's closest friends. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
If kids could see the Daninger in the drugs they bought it may `` | :01:42. | :01:51. | |
danger in the drugs they bought. The drugs agency said they want to | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
ensure that law enforcement protects society. Others who want change, | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
disagree. Le It is obvious that drugs are given by pharmacists and | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
controlled by Governments rather than by gangsters and unregulated | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
dealers. The Coroner said her death would act as a stark warning to | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
other youngsters about the dangers of taking drugs and there was no way | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
of knowing what they were made up of, or more importantly what their | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
purity is. Firefighters across the region are | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
taking part in a national 24`hour strike over changes to their | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
pensions. They are angry about proposals which would mean working | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
until they are 60 and say if they could not pass a fitness test in | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
their late 50s they could lose part of their pension pot. The Government | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
says it is fair and firefighters have one of the most generous | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
pensions in the public sector. They are preparing to walk out again | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
later this month. The current strike ends at 9am. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
The Business Secretary, Vince Cable, has opened a centre in Milton kenls | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
which could transform the transportation of people and goods | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
around the world. It is about smart technology and brings together | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
business leaders, scientists and engineers. The industry could | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
generate up to ?90 billion a year for the UK by 2025. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
From driverless cars to electric buses. Milton Keynes is often at the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
forefront of transport technology. The perfect place then to launch the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
industry's first Innovation Centre. Officially opened by the Business | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Secretary, Vince Cable, this morning. It aims to bring together | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
businesses, inventors and researchers. A collaboration that Mr | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Cable believes would put Britain in front. I have just come back from | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
China. There was an enormous interest in British companies that | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
can help with the urbanisation, the rapid growth of cities and transport | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
systems wesmt have some very good companies in the UK. If we can | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
capitalise on this. 30 protects are using the new facility. Live | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Sentiment Mapping has been developed so transport managers can see what | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
people think about their services. Other products are helping predict | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
future demands. This simulation shows the current aircraft movements | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
over Europe. This demonstrates potential commuter bottlenecks. It | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
is no accident that Milton Keynes was selected as the place to bring | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
this together. We want to capture the enthusiasm, the capability of | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Milton kenls ` the Open University, we have Red Bull, in terms of motor | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
sport. All great capability and we will harness it and develop new | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
products which the UK with benefit from globally. The first 20 | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
driverless pods are expected on the streets of Milton Keynes next year. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
An example of how our region is already leading the way in an | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
industry that could be worth up to ?907 billion in less than a deck `` | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
?#9d 0 billion in less than `` ?90 billion in less than a decade. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Hundreds of people have marched through Oxford T event was to show | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
despite different beliefs, people taking part have plenty in common. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
They started at the Oxford synagogue in the city on their way to the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
mosque. Sikhs, Christians, Muslims and others, all walked together to | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
show solidarity. It is an opportunity to demonstrate | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
that people of different faiths get on. In principle they get on. In | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Oxford they get on particularly well. We are very supportive and | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
like to be together. That is what this demonstrates. Over the last ten | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
years this event has become established in the religious | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
calendar. Of course there are fundamental differences in beliefs, | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
but it is the common ground that was celebrated. The basic principles are | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
the same. In my opinion, none of the religions will tell you the wrong | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
ways. There's nothing more important than learning about other faiths and | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
meeting people of other faiths. We come every year, my husband and | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
myself and friends because I find it very fascinating t various | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
religions. In this day and age, we need to bridge the gap. We need to | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
bring communities together. The group made its way down the high | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
street after stopping off at the Church. Their balloons represented | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
unity and diversity. Plans are being made for more events later this | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
year. We'll have the weather in a moment. | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
We are back tomorrow morning T first bulletin is just after 6. 25pm. Good | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
night `` 6 toi 25am. Good night. Very mild temperatures. Lows of | :06:49. | :07:05. | |
13`14 Celsius. Lots of sunshine on offer to start the day tomorrow. We | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
are looking at cloud building during the middle part of the day. That | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
will turn the sunshine hazy during the afternoon. Perhaps a spot of | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
rain during the evening, pushing down from the north. Temperatures | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
tomorrow up to 23 Celsius or 24 Celsius. It may well be the warmest | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
day of the year so far. A pleasant day in store tomorrow. Rain at first | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
on Saturday. Sunday is a decent day. Coming up next is the national | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
turn pressure with temperatures easing back and here is my colleague | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
with the rest of the weekend forecast. | :07:37. | :07:39. |
