Good evening. News, Glasgow.

It's emerged that police may have made a series of mistakes

in the case of Jayden Parkinson, the 17`year`old

from Didcot who was murdered by her ex`boyfriend last December.

Five officers from Thames Valley Police are now being investigated

over whether they could have done more to protect her before she died.

Did Thames Valley Police do all they could to protect murdered Didcot

teenager Jayden Parkinson and, when she went missing,

The five officers are being asked about three issues. The family

reported threats lately had made. If you hours after she was reported

missing he was questioned over a different offence. By then she had

been murdered. Did the officers realised she was missing? A week

later he was arrested on suspicion of kidnapped and released on bail.

They are investigating that as well. His brother was accused of

preventing a lawful burial will face a retrial in January. He was given a

life sentence a week ago. It was too much for this family. In a statement

today Thames Valley Police said would be inappropriate to comment on

an ongoing investigation. There's been major disruption

for rail passengers travelling into London ` after a person was hit

by a train near Ealing Broadway Services to Didcot,

Swindon and Oxford to Paddington were either cancelled or subject to

lengthy delays. All lines into London

were re`opened by 5:30pm but services remained disrupted

into the evening. Attempts to put out the fire

at a waste recycling site in Swindon It's 12 days since the fire began `

but it's still burning, with clouds Business owners and families living

nearby say they're suffering ` And with thousands of tonnes

of waste and rubbish here, the firefighters simply can't get to

it all to put it out. As it is compacted down it is

a bit like a roof I suppose. As you put water

on the top it is just flowing off. What we can't do is get right

into it ? all we can seem to do at the moment is work around

the edges, pull the edges away, These types of fires are normally

allowed to burn out themselves But the smoke and ash from this

is proving too much to bear. Hardest hit from the fire,

and especially the smoke, are the businesses that surround

the recycling site, It is impossible

for people to work here. Across the road from the fire live

Gillian Lane and her husband. They've been

following all the advice but say We've had to keep

the windows closed. Especially with all this heat

that we've had, it's been We've had to keep

the fan going full`time. My husband,

it has affected him because he has got asthma, he's woke up in

the morning he can hardly breathe. The site owners have again

apologised to everyone The plan now is to try and remove

as much waste as possible ` the That should give firefighters

more space to get at the flames. They say they want to move

into a more aggressive phase now to From next week, everyone will have

the right to film council meetings anywhere in the country ` and post

the video onto social media sites. The government says it's good

for democracry. But there are fears it could lead

to councillors being misrepresented Our Political Reporter Helen Catt

has the story. Whether it is towers being blown up,

or rain tipping down, the Great British public has been

capturing newsworthy moments But until now those which happen

inside the walls of our councils While some

of our councils do regularly web cast their meetings like South

Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, for others like Oxfordshire County

the main way of seeing what is going on is still to come

along here to the public gallery. In Oxford City members

of a long`running campaign to stop the swimming pool

from closing have had their requests They say the official city

council film is not enough. When we had the full council video

you only see people talking, you don't actually see what is going

around there and the idea is to show what is actually going on there,

what people are doing around that. From next week they

and everyone else will have the legal right to film meetings

and post them on social media. With so many smartphones

around many of us will have the All

of the councillors we have spoken to say they welcome meetings being more

open but some have concerns that Certain members of

the public perhaps with a grievance or an agenda who film particular

councillors and particular debates cut it down, put something on

the Internet which is then seen to And in the long term it is bad

for democracy when it starts off Once again,

he has no clue about the details. For a generation used to seeing

images like this from the House of Commons, it is worth remembering

that they were not always welcomed There were many similar debates

happening around the televising of Parliament in the 1980s, people

were worried about the same thing ? about taking it out of context

and people ended up managing at. The rules come

into force next Wednesday. It's being called the most

successful conservation project of the twentieth century. On this day,

twenty five years ago, five red kites were reintroduced to the

Chilterns ` in a bid to save the species. Now, a common sight in the

skies over Oxfordshire, there are more than 1000 breeding pairs.

Victoria Cook reports. Living proof of

a major conservation success story. It was 25 years ago today that five

kite chicks were brought near here. Then, over the next five years,

88 more were brought to join them. Now it is thought that there are

more than 1000 breeding pairs here. It has never been done

before really. We knew they were fairly easy to

handle because they ate carrion so you did not have to kill a lot of

stuff for them and they could feed Basically, no`one knew

what was going to happen. These days it is not

unusual to spot a kite. They are impressive to see,

with a wingspan of up to 5 feet but are some say there are now too

many of them. Some concerned they

are too aggressive. Conservationists say people

should stop feeding them. They tend to cluster could together

particularly where there is as a food source and that is where we

have a bit of an issue because when people feed them they'll gather

together and that gives people It also means they're getting

incredibly bold and perhaps coming into people's

gardens, maybe disrupting So the message we would like to

get across is do not feed them. Let them find their food naturally

and they will find a nice happy On the whole, this project

is seen as a big success. More than 300 birds have been taken

from here to other sites as far away as Newcastle and populations are now

thriving there too. Sarah Farmer is coming up with

the weekend weather forecast. We have one or two showers in store

for tonight. We could see the odd downpour. Temperatures in the mid

teens. Similar to recent nights. A mild night. Showers are starting to

get going to get going through the early hours. Tomorrow morning some

of those showers to get the day started. Through the middle part of

the day perhaps some heavy downpours and perhaps some thunder but an

improving picture into the afternoon. Starting to dry up and

some brighter skies inside of those showers. The riches of 21 degrees 22

degrees. Sonny looks to be a brighter day. `` Sunday looks

Good evening. For some of us turning soggy this weekend. For others

increasingly sunny. Don't make this the last forecast you see this

weekend T rain could cause some problems. Sunshine will follow the

rain from the south. Overnight a lot of rain from south-west England and

south-west Wales. One or two thunderstorms, close to the London

area, into East Anglia. Showers over Northern Ireland. A largely dry

start to the day here. Further south, there will be rain around.

Already signs of improvement across the far south-west at 10am. Patchy

outbreaks of rain elsewhere across southern counties. Sharp showers

through the day. Brighter spells between. Heavy and persistent rain

across west Wales, up through the Irish Sea, into southern Scotland.

The main focus of concern. Some question mark about how far west

that rain extends. Within the wettest areas we could see an inch

of rain or two. That could cause some problems.
