a UN school and a crowded marketplace in Gaza. That

:00:00.:00:08.

A fresh appeal to catch a killer. Police reveal CCTV footage of the

:00:09.:01:06.

Beata Bryl came to this country from Poland to work for a better

:01:07.:01:09.

life, but eight years after her body was found in Buckinghamshire police

:01:10.:01:12.

They've released CCTV footage of her last known movements

:01:13.:01:16.

Beata Bryl, in the red top, is seen at Leytonstone station in London.

:01:17.:01:23.

She was headed west on the central line.

:01:24.:01:25.

The next day Beata's body was found here, in Wooburn Green

:01:26.:01:31.

This is some 43 miles away from where she was last seen.

:01:32.:01:36.

She had been hit repeatedly with a heavy object around the head,

:01:37.:01:39.

It defies belief how horrible it was. It gave us added determination

:01:40.:01:57.

to establish who has done it, who has killed her, who knows about her

:01:58.:02:02.

death. It is very, very important to us all.

:02:03.:02:04.

Now, for the first time, police have released this photograph

:02:05.:02:06.

They hope it's distinctive enough to jog someone?s memory.

:02:07.:02:10.

Two bags that Beata was carrying have not yet been found.

:02:11.:02:13.

Police say the colour may have been slightly different.

:02:14.:02:22.

Beata's mother Marii came to England in 2007 to appeal for information

:02:23.:02:25.

TRANSLATION: She was full of energy, she wanted to get more out of life.

:02:26.:02:43.

Unemployment is very high in Poland. She thought that if she left she

:02:44.:02:46.

could make a better life for herself as well.

:02:47.:02:52.

Police hope someone will come forward with information, even if

:02:53.:02:54.

They're specifically appealing to the Polish communities of London

:02:55.:02:58.

and Buckinghamshire to help them find answers and ultimately see

:02:59.:03:00.

A family doctor from Royal Wootton Bassett who secretly

:03:01.:03:04.

filmed female patients has had his jail sentence reduced.

:03:05.:03:07.

Dr Davinderjit Bains was found guilty last year

:03:08.:03:09.

of sexually assaulting more than 25 women in his surgery.

:03:10.:03:11.

He used a secret camera hidden in his wristwatch to film intimate

:03:12.:03:14.

examinations on 300 female patients between 2009 and 2012.

:03:15.:03:16.

Today, two judges have reduced his sentence from 12 years to ten.

:03:17.:03:36.

A woman has been remanded in custody after driving her car recklessly.

:03:37.:03:44.

She will return to court next month. Letters have started arriving

:03:45.:03:47.

across the area telling people about the biggest change to the way

:03:48.:03:49.

we register to vote in 100 years. Most of us will be put

:03:50.:03:53.

on the new individual electoral But one in eight people across

:03:54.:03:55.

Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire will have to sign up online or

:03:56.:03:58.

face losing their right to vote. If people want their votes to be

:03:59.:04:01.

counted they will have to register themselves to vote, not rely

:04:02.:04:09.

on the head of the household. The idea is to crack down

:04:10.:04:12.

on voter fraud. To make it onto

:04:13.:04:14.

the electoral roll automatically a person's details will need to

:04:15.:04:16.

match information held by the Those whose details differ `

:04:17.:04:19.

about one in eight in our area ` Initially, the first consequences in

:04:20.:04:38.

December, 2014, anyone who has a postal voter who has not registered

:04:39.:04:42.

individually will not be able to continue to be a postal vote until

:04:43.:04:47.

register. In December 2015, at the moment, as it is planned, anyone who

:04:48.:04:52.

has not registered individually will be removed from the register.

:04:53.:04:55.

Not being registered to vote can also affect credit checks for things

:04:56.:04:58.

Letters are being sent to everyone to tell them if they need to act.

:04:59.:05:02.

In Oxford City, though, there's concern at the high number

:05:03.:05:05.

And there are 17`year`olds like Dylan Hay, who will vote

:05:06.:05:09.

They may not realise that the importance

:05:10.:05:14.

of registering the changes will not affect anyone's right to vote

:05:15.:05:16.

I do not think that people are necessarily aware that it is a legal

:05:17.:05:25.

requirement because you are not taught those things at school and

:05:26.:05:28.

you have defined it for yourself. They do not think people do if they

:05:29.:05:34.

are not interested in it. The changes will not affect anyone's

:05:35.:05:38.

right to vote in next year's general election, however.

:05:39.:05:42.

Oxfordshire may become one of the first places in the country to

:05:43.:05:45.

The government is to give ?10 million to three places to trial

:05:46.:05:49.

Oxford University is one of the groups that's been

:05:50.:05:53.

The leader of Oxfordshire County Council has said

:05:54.:05:55.

he'll consider bidding for the area to host one of the trials.

:05:56.:06:00.

Oxford's only independent department store is moving into online shopping

:06:01.:06:03.

Boswells has been trading for more than 275 years.

:06:04.:06:06.

It entered the competitive world of the web two years ago,

:06:07.:06:09.

Now, with more investment, the store is hoping

:06:10.:06:11.

It has been trading in Oxford since 1738.

:06:12.:06:15.

And the way you pay for your goods hasn't changed much

:06:16.:06:18.

Oxford's largest independent department store is entering

:06:19.:06:22.

the 21st century by launching its own website where customers can

:06:23.:06:24.

Some people may be wondering whether Boswells have come to this party

:06:25.:06:29.

rather late, for example, their big competitors, John Lewis, have been

:06:30.:06:32.

We think it?s the right time to go in, simply because

:06:33.:06:40.

the internet has matured over the years from where it was when some of

:06:41.:06:44.

those early people got involved and I think it's now in the right sort

:06:45.:06:52.

The store has tried and failed to sell its goods

:06:53.:06:56.

on the internet before, but this time they say the right level of

:06:57.:07:00.

investment has been made and they're hoping to increase their number

:07:01.:07:02.

The one opportunity for them to get into a wider market and be

:07:03.:07:11.

outside their current customer base is to be online, because

:07:12.:07:14.

The thing then is to be in the right kind of place in the search engines

:07:15.:07:19.

so that you come high up on the list when you start looking for the kind

:07:20.:07:23.

So, will the online shop prove popular?

:07:24.:07:27.

I might look online, but most likely I will prefer to go into the store.

:07:28.:07:31.

You beat the Oxford crowds at the weekend.

:07:32.:07:33.

Coming here, seeing it, touching it, is much more practical.

:07:34.:07:35.

They say the customer is always right, so

:07:36.:07:37.

we'll have to wait and see if this turns out to be a wise investment.

:07:38.:07:41.

A couple from Swindon had given up on IVF but, 18 years after they

:07:42.:07:52.

started to try for a baby, a little girl they think is their

:07:53.:07:55.

Lee Blaylock and Becky Bourton are not the only people getting

:07:56.:07:59.

That's because Baby Lyvia has four grandparents

:08:00.:08:02.

Meet Lyvia, a little miracle to her mum and dad.

:08:03.:08:10.

Parents Lee and Becky had given up hope of ever having a baby.

:08:11.:08:16.

After 18 years together and four failed IVF attempts, the last thing

:08:17.:08:19.

Not at all, especially at our ages as well.

:08:20.:08:29.

We were told it was both of us and we had more chance of winning the

:08:30.:08:33.

Like all grandchildren she is going to be spoiled rotten,

:08:34.:08:38.

but perhaps just a little bit more than most, and this is why ? not

:08:39.:08:42.

only does Lyvia have all four grandparents, she's also got eight

:08:43.:08:45.

On Becky's side there's Ron and June, June is the eldest at 92.

:08:46.:09:06.

Then there is Elizabeth and Gordon, who, at 92,

:09:07.:09:08.

On Lee's side 90`year`old Norman and 89`year`old Sylvia,

:09:09.:09:15.

who married in 1946, and head of the family Arthur, who's 87 and married

:09:16.:09:18.

Between them they had Lyvia's doting grandparents,

:09:19.:09:23.

all in their 60s and spring chickens in the grandparents stakes.

:09:24.:09:27.

Thanks to them, along came dad Lee and new mum Becky.

:09:28.:09:29.

This is one special picture for the family album.

:09:30.:09:34.

Lyvia may be oblivious to all the fuss, but one thing's for certain

:09:35.:09:38.

? this little lady may never be short of presents and babysitters.

:09:39.:09:47.

Today Lyvia met her four grandparents

:09:48.:09:48.

and eight great`grandparents for the first time.

:09:49.:09:50.

And if she follows their example she's

:09:51.:09:52.

That is all for me at the moment. I will be back at 10:25pm.

:09:53.:10:20.

day when they have really taken control. I will have the latest here

:10:21.:10:22.

later in the programme. The fianc?es of two cyclists killed

:10:23.:10:30.

by a drink driver, in Berkshire, are calling for tougher jail terms

:10:31.:10:33.

for motorists who kill. Alexander Walters was driving

:10:34.:10:35.

a stolen car, while disqualified, when he hit the two Reading men

:10:36.:10:38.

in February. He was jailed for ten years

:10:39.:10:41.

for both deaths. A petition is now calling

:10:42.:10:43.

for separate sentences to be handed out for each person killed

:10:44.:10:49.

by a guilty driver. John Moreland and Chris Jarvis,

:10:50.:11:00.

fathers, cyclists and friends. The police knocked on the door and they

:11:01.:11:05.

said, it is John, there has been an accident. My initial thought in my

:11:06.:11:12.

head was, he is in hospital. They said no, he is dead. They said Chris

:11:13.:11:21.

also. I just completely collapsed. In February, John and Chris were

:11:22.:11:27.

cycling on this road when they were hit by a stolen BMW. The driver,

:11:28.:11:39.

Alexander Walters, was over the drink drive limit, had cocaine in

:11:40.:11:45.

April he was jailed for ten years at April he was jailed for ten years

:11:46.:11:49.

:11:50.:11:49.

his own hands. That would have been his own hands. That would have been

:11:50.:11:50.

life and 20 last years. Because he life and 20 last years. Because he

:11:51.:11:50.

was in a car, he only got ten years. I thought, is that it? I thought,

:11:51.:12:00.

not for two people's lives. They have now started a petition calling

:12:01.:12:04.

for a change to the law. Currently, causing death by dangerous driving

:12:05.:12:08.

has a maximum sentence of 14 years. Even if two people have been

:12:09.:12:13.

killed. They want separate sentences for each victim. We want more change

:12:14.:12:17.

so that Chris is classed as one and John is cast as one. He would have

:12:18.:12:22.

got ten plus ten. We all knew it would be half of that, and we

:12:23.:12:27.

worth? The petition needs 100,000 worth? The petition needs 100,000

:12:28.:12:32.

signatures to trigger a debate in Parliament. A government review of

:12:33.:12:36.

the penalties is also due in a cabin coming months. There should be much

:12:37.:12:39.

more discussion given to judges, in this case there certainly should

:12:40.:12:44.

have been more than ten years. This is why the review will be really

:12:45.:12:48.

useful. I want people signing this petition to also input into the

:12:49.:12:58.

review what's it goes lives. `` once it goes live. They want the justice

:12:59.:12:59.

they feel has been denied. A "professional,

:13:00.:13:03.

:13:43.:13:48.

:13:49.:13:53.

never done. I know these rogues are around, but I didn't realise,

:13:54.:13:59.

initially, that he was a rogue. He was so convincing. I feel rather

:14:00.:14:05.

ashamed having to admit that it happened to me, but at least I hope

:14:06.:14:11.

it is a warning to other people. Prosecutors in court told how he

:14:12.:14:14.

used his charm to gain the trust of his victims before he then preyed

:14:15.:14:18.

upon them, inducing them to part with large sums of money. Some

:14:19.:14:23.

people lost their life savings. All of this prompted the judge here to

:14:24.:14:30.

describe him as "a professional, plausible and devious conman". Many

:14:31.:14:34.

of the victims were in their 80s and 90s. He laid upon them, befriended

:14:35.:14:39.

them and essentially coerce them into having work that often was

:14:40.:14:45.

never completed. Any work that was done was often a very poor standard.

:14:46.:14:55.

Her honour described Gaffney's crimes of of the utmost seriousness.

:14:56.:15:00.

He had brought building trade into disrepute and left his victims

:15:01.:15:04.

physically, psychologically and financially scarred. She sentenced

:15:05.:15:05.

him to nine years in jail. Police are investigating a series

:15:06.:15:12.

of airgun attacks on a cat, Ellie Robson`Frisby's cat Pickle was

shot on three separate occasions She's now enlisted the help

of social media to try This is Pickle, over the last five

:15:22.:15:36.

months he had been attacked twice by an air rifle near his home in North

:15:37.:15:40.

Hampshire. This weekend he was shot again. His owner, Ellie, rushed into

:15:41.:15:46.

the vet. Bullet had gone in from his abdomen straight down and presumably

:15:47.:15:52.

caused quite a lot of damage. They couldn't do anything, so we had to

:15:53.:15:57.

make the unfortunate decision to put him to sleep. It was probably the

:15:58.:16:04.

worst decision we have ever had to make. These x`rays show the extent

:16:05.:16:08.

of his injuries. The bullet went more than ten centimetres into his

:16:09.:16:12.

body. Heartbroken, she turned to Facebook. On Monday she posted

:16:13.:16:18.

pictures of Pickle with pleas for information and support. She was

:16:19.:16:21.

overwhelmed by the response. Many neighbours contacted her to say that

:16:22.:16:25.

their pets had been shot in recent months or so. The case is not a one

:16:26.:16:34.

off. The ISP see a `` BRS PCA say they have had many calls about this

:16:35.:16:39.

so far this year, but many go unreported. They want better control

and regulation where airguns are sold. It is a serious crime, anyone

:16:44.:16:49.

using an air weapon to hurt an animal could face a ?20,000 fine and

up to six months in prison. Pickle's cousin Mali has avoided

:16:57.:17:04.

attacks so far. It's hoped that someone will come forward and avoid

:17:05.:17:06.

animals from losing their lives. Hundreds of people fell silent this

:17:07.:17:10.

morning to commemorate the sacrifice made by ten thousand Wiltshire

:17:11.:17:13.

soldiers during the First World War. Each was represented

signed up 100 years ago, and gave their lives in the great

with an extra 4000 military Although today belonged not to the

county's future, but to its past. Just to let you know we have a very

:19:00.:19:18.

special programme on Monday night commemorating the 100 anniversary of

:19:19.:19:23.

Britain entering the war. We will be at the Tank Museum Dorset with

:19:24.:19:30.

special events planned. We will also have some of the personal stories of

:19:31.:19:35.

those who fought in the great War. Make sure you are with us for that,

:19:36.:19:36.

Saturday and Monday night. Onto sport and take your pick

:19:37.:19:38.

of the big events on offer in the region over the next week or

:19:39.:19:41.

so, Glorious Goodwood, Cowes Week and Test cricket are all

:19:42.:19:43.

on the south's doorstep. Tony's going to be at all three

:19:44.:19:46.

of those locations over the next week or so, starting tonight with

:19:47.:19:49.

the Ageas Bowl and the test A glorious day for some good

:19:50.:20:06.

cricket. Tremendous. Lovely location, temperatures in the mid to

:20:07.:20:10.

high 20s. A really nice and good crowd. They just left after a day in

:20:11.:20:16.

which England were very much on top. The bigger picture for this game,

:20:17.:20:22.

it's all part of the location trying to get its spot on the map. There

:20:23.:20:29.

are six counties competing, so probably only two tests. It will be

:20:30.:20:33.

very difficult. They have to impress this week. They haven't been helped

:20:34.:20:38.

by the scheduling, test match started on Sunday. The crowds tail

:20:39.:21:09.

off a little bit. Let's tell you about what has been going on on the

:21:10.:21:25.

pitch. England have been on charge. A big match for Alastair Cook. For

:21:26.:21:50.

those who did come along, Alastair Cook set England to win. 112 before

from Southampton is in the javelin in the long jump, Freya Jones

:21:55.:21:54.

Meanwhile England's hockey players, shored up by a big Reading presence

:21:55.:21:57.

beat Scotland to reach the semi finals of the event.

:21:58.:21:59.

It was always going to be a phenomenal game

:22:00.:22:02.

Scotland are such a tight, professional outfit.

:22:03.:22:04.

They've been training full time up until this period,

:22:05.:22:06.

so it was a delightful game, I'm sure, for people to watch.

:22:07.:22:09.

It was extremely tough so we're just over the moon to be

:22:10.:22:16.

Right now Reading's Chris Mears and Winchester born James Heatly

:22:17.:22:18.

are competing in the final of the Men's one metre springboard.

:22:19.:22:25.

Reading's Mears, who will also dive in the synchro

:22:26.:22:29.

with Jack Laugher, qualified third for tonight's final, when each diver

You can follow it on the BBC red button.

:22:33.:22:39.

I mentioned that Goodwood has been going on of course. The big race was

:22:40.:22:55.

the Sussex stakes. Passing last year's winner tornado.

:22:56.:23:08.

Staying at Goodwood, Alexis will be back in the saddle

:23:09.:23:10.

tomorrow for her second appearance in the Magnolia Cup charity race.

:23:11.:23:13.

I've been training hard for the Magnolia Cup at Glorious Goodwood.

:23:14.:23:20.

For the first and the last time before the big

:23:21.:23:22.

day, I've tried out the horse I'm going to compete on in the five
