for the patients of the future. That's all from us. Now

:00:00.:00:08.

First tonight, a woman accused of being involved

:00:09.:00:11.

in a revenge arson attack which left two children dead says

:00:12.:00:14.

the people who'd started thd fire in Oxford were "evil and sick."

:00:15.:00:18.

Fiaz Munshi denied all the charges as she began her defence

:00:19.:00:22.

at Oxford Crown Court. Peter Cooke was there.

:00:23.:00:26.

She'd been in a secret relationship with Amjad Khan, the brother

:00:27.:00:32.

of the victims ? eight`year`old Anum, and Majid, who was 15.

:00:33.:00:36.

after Amjad was convicted of a drugs offence and he broke ht off.

:00:37.:00:42.

It's alleged, angered by thhs and tensions with his familx, she

:00:43.:00:46.

conspired with others to set the fire at the house in Magdaldn Road.

:00:47.:00:51.

As she began her evidence, Fiaz Munshi said, "I'd never do

:00:52.:00:54.

Speaking about her time in custody, she said, "I wasn't allowed to see

:00:55.:01:00.

my children. Someone in prison called me a child killer.

:01:01.:01:04.

My children think I'm abroad. I don't feel like a human.

:01:05.:01:08.

People keep staring at me like a caged animal.

:01:09.:01:11.

I'm not here to be looked at. I'm here to be proved innocdnt.

:01:12.:01:16.

Eight people went to Oxford that night, including Fiaz's

:01:17.:01:19.

Today she claimed Haq forced her to go, and she now believed thd motive

:01:20.:01:26.

Five men, including Haq, were convicted

:01:27.:01:30.

of the children's murders in 19 8, and Fiaz's sister Riaz Munshi

:01:31.:01:35.

Under cross examination, Fi`z Munshi repeatedly said she only tr`velled

:01:36.:01:42.

to Oxford for a fight and ddnied all knowledge of plans to set a fire.

:01:43.:01:46.

She claimed she was threatened after the arson attack

:01:47.:01:48.

by other members of the grotp and told to shut her mouth or risk

:01:49.:01:52.

Breaking down in the witness box, she said, "I swear

:01:53.:01:57.

on my four children's lives, if I'd know what was planned, I wotld not

:01:58.:02:01.

38`year`old Fiaz Munshi denhes two counts of murder

:02:02.:02:06.

A Buckinghamshire family were put at risk because the Home Officd ignored

:02:07.:02:14.

An investigation by a parliamentary watchdog found

:02:15.:02:19.

the Hewitt family endured a "living nightmare" as offichals

:02:20.:02:22.

He was jailed after he harassed his ex`girlfriend and tried to burn down

:02:23.:02:28.

They expected UK immigration laws and the Home Office and its agencies

:02:29.:02:35.

Instead, actually mistakes that were made and failure to listen to the

:02:36.:02:43.

There could be over a thous`nd more suicide attempts if drastic funding

:02:44.:02:49.

cuts are made to an Oxfordshire service for people with personality

:02:50.:02:52.

disorders ` so claims an Oxfordshire NHS Trust in a leaked report.

:02:53.:02:57.

You start self harming and people just look at you

:02:58.:03:03.

Michael ` not his real name ` has borderline personality disorder

:03:04.:03:09.

But since February of this xear he's been using the

:03:10.:03:13.

Oxfordshire Complex Needs Sdrvice and says the group therapies there

:03:14.:03:16.

The Department of Health usdd to fund the service in its enthrety

:03:17.:03:21.

at a cost of ?700,000 a year, but from next year it won?t be

:03:22.:03:29.

at a cost of ?700,000 a year, but from next year it won't be

:03:30.:03:32.

saying the project was only ever a pilot.

:03:33.:03:36.

The Clinical Commissioning Group has put in ?250,000 this year,

:03:37.:03:39.

but a leaked report seen by the BBC warns of serious consequencds.

:03:40.:03:42.

The service, it says, would see 470 fewer patients.

:03:43.:03:47.

Cases of suicidal acts ` th`t's self`harm ` would go up by 0200 and

:03:48.:03:50.

patients with complex needs would make many more GP appointments.

:03:51.:03:53.

Users of the service have l`unched a campaign to try to keep it.

:03:54.:03:56.

They say the uncertainty ovdr the future isn't helping.

:03:57.:03:59.

A lot of us suffer from anxiety disorders so not having

:04:00.:04:02.

any clue what's going to happen it's really stressful for us.

:04:03.:04:07.

Neither Oxford Health nor Oxfordshire CCG wanted to speak to

:04:08.:04:09.

They say the needs of people living with personality

:04:10.:04:15.

disorder are a priority and that they are working together to develop

:04:16.:04:18.

a model that will reflect that practice and deliver good ottcomes.

:04:19.:04:22.

A plan is due to be publishdd a week on Friday.

:04:23.:04:30.

Staying in health, and in the past five years,

:04:31.:04:32.

93 patients waiting for donor organs in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and

:04:33.:04:35.

Today Tom Turrell has been to meet one woman whose life w`s

:04:36.:04:41.

Only a few years ago, Penny Hart wasn't well enough to

:04:42.:04:48.

She had a lung condition whhch made breathing almost impossible.

:04:49.:04:54.

But after years of suffering, Penny received a call to sax lungs

:04:55.:04:58.

had finally been donated and a transplant could go ahead

:04:59.:05:03.

I have probably more energy than most 20`year`olds.

:05:04.:05:07.

Instead of relying on a cylhnder of oxygen to keep me going,

:05:08.:05:12.

I lift cylinders of helium seven days a week and they're heavy.

:05:13.:05:16.

I can't find the words to describe the difference.

:05:17.:05:18.

Penny's operation allowed hdr to carry on with her balloon btsiness.

:05:19.:05:22.

But it seems she's one of the lucky ones.

:05:23.:05:25.

In Oxfordshire, 66 people are waiting

:05:26.:05:27.

In Buckinghamshire that number rises to 93 and in Wiltshire it's 122

:05:28.:05:36.

There are people dying everx day who are in need of transplants,

:05:37.:05:39.

so not enough people are signing on the organ donor register

:05:40.:05:41.

What we need to do and what this week is about is raising aw`reness

:05:42.:05:46.

of the importance of transplantation, what a wonderful

:05:47.:05:48.

thing it is and encouraging people right now to speak to their families

:05:49.:05:51.

about what they want to do in the event of their death.

:05:52.:05:54.

While organ donation is slowly on the rise, doctors face another

:05:55.:05:57.

problem ` as more and more of us live longer, demand for org`ns

:05:58.:06:01.

Next, the East`West rail line linking Oxford

:06:02.:06:08.

and Aylesbury to Milton Keynes will boost this region's economy

:06:09.:06:11.

The assessment from an independent engineering firm

:06:12.:06:16.

Disused sections of railway will be replaced with new

:06:17.:06:21.

electrified lines, to open tp new passenger and freight routes.

:06:22.:06:25.

A charity dedicated to helphng people affected by cancer opened

:06:26.:06:29.

its new purpose`built centrd in Oxford today.

:06:30.:06:31.

Maggie's is based at the Churchill Hospital in Headington.

:06:32.:06:40.

They hope the new location will encourage more people to usd their

:06:41.:06:44.

service. Thanks for staying up late

:06:45.:06:48.

for us tonight. A mainly dry nights to come with a

:06:49.:06:57.

chance of one or two fog patches under the skies. Temperaturds down

:06:58.:07:04.

to around 12 or 13 Celsius. These are temperatures in towns and cities

:07:05.:07:07.

so it will be cooler in the countryside but tomorrow is a pretty

:07:08.:07:12.

decent day. Varying amounts of cloud at some sunny spells and in the

:07:13.:07:17.

afternoon sunshine we are looking at highs of 22 Celsius. Warmer than

Friday and Saturday. weekend. Hot on Saturday with

:07:30.:07:32.

thundery showers. Good evening, the rain in Rio is

:07:33.:07:40.

matching the mood, I suspect, this evening. Here, we will take a day

:07:41.:07:45.

off from the rain tomorrow, at least most of us. There will be sunshine

:07:46.:07:50.

around. The showers will be back for the end of the week. Dry over night

:07:51.:07:55.

virtually everywhere. Winds easing down in many places except towards

the North Sea coasts. The south west will keep a breeze going. Not a cold

:08:01.:08:05.

night, temperatures holding 12- 4 degrees typically. A dry day

:08:06.:08:10.

virtually everywhere tomorrow. Cloud breaking up to allow good spells of

sunshine coming through, particularly to Scotland, northern
