Good evening. the news

:00:00.:00:09.

A report into the death of ` baby in Oxfordshire has found

:00:10.:00:12.

The one`year`old was found dead at her home in May last year.

:00:13.:00:16.

A criminal investigation into the case is still underway

:00:17.:00:18.

Adina Campbell has been following the story ` and explained

:00:19.:00:21.

The child ` named simply as Child N in this report `

:00:22.:00:28.

The report states it is likdly the one`year`old's mother was ilplicated

:00:29.:00:35.

Although not named by the Oxfordshire Safeguarding

:00:36.:00:40.

Board ` who carried out the report ` The BBC understands the inf`nt at

:00:41.:00:44.

Police were called to a property in Bicester last May. Shortly

:00:45.:00:50.

afterwards they announced they were treating Sara's death as murder

:00:51.:00:53.

Sarah's mother ` Angela Whitworth ` was named by police as a suspect.

:00:54.:00:56.

She left the country and travelled to Kenya.

:00:57.:00:58.

Police have been trying to track her down her through Interpol.

:00:59.:01:02.

And what do we know about the report itself?

:01:03.:01:04.

Well, it insists the death of Child N was neither

:01:05.:01:06.

"predictable nor preventabld" ` but a sad case of a child who died

:01:07.:01:10.

It does however say there wdre some minor areas of concern.

:01:11.:01:16.

One of them being a referral involving the chhld being

:01:17.:01:21.

It says that should've been investigated.

:01:22.:01:26.

It also says claims of domestic abuse ` although never provdd `

:01:27.:01:29.

The report also adds inform`tion could have been better shardd

:01:30.:01:36.

There is always the benefit of hindsight,

:01:37.:01:40.

looking back to see if things could have been done differently.

:01:41.:01:43.

And this was an unusual casd and the findings found that, evdn with

:01:44.:01:46.

the benefit of hindsight, it was difficult to have ever predhcted or

:01:47.:01:49.

worked in a different way to have prevented the death of this child.

:01:50.:01:54.

It's also important to make one more thing clear `

:01:55.:01:57.

there was no evidence to suggest Child N's father was involvdd in any

:01:58.:02:00.

way in the death ` and the criminal investigation is still ongohng.

:02:01.:02:09.

South Central Ambulance says its vehicles have been involved

:02:10.:02:11.

in more than 240 accidents on the roads in the last five xears.

:02:12.:02:15.

The figures show ambulances had more accidents than rapid rdsponse

:02:16.:02:19.

The service is urging motorhsts to slow down and stop if they say

:02:20.:02:24.

700 homes are going to be btilt in Bicester ` planning permhssion

:02:25.:02:31.

Bicester is one of the country's fastest growing towns.

:02:32.:02:35.

A new Eco Town ` containing 6,000 homes `

:02:36.:02:38.

Tonight's decision paves thd way for more houses on the Kingsmere

:02:39.:02:43.

Matthew Day moved into Bicester s new Kingsmere estate in February.

:02:44.:02:51.

He's still living next door to a building site, but says h`ving

:02:52.:02:55.

We chose here because a new estate and

:02:56.:03:00.

a new house is something we've never had before and the Government's Help

:03:01.:03:04.

Bicester's undergoing a massive expansion over thd next 20

:03:05.:03:09.

years ` the population will double from 30 to 60 thousand, transforming

:03:10.:03:12.

it from a small market town to the second largest urban centre in

:03:13.:03:15.

Some question whether there'll be enough employment to support

:03:16.:03:24.

The employment land had to be there and has to be clearly identhfied.

:03:25.:03:28.

The risk now is that in orddr to meet the national requirement for

:03:29.:03:32.

housing delivery, some of that employment land may now comd under

:03:33.:03:34.

pressure for shifting into residential land.

:03:35.:03:41.

100 new homes are expected built in the town every year

:03:42.:03:44.

This land's been set aside for the next stage of the Khngsmere

:03:45.:03:51.

New allotments, play facilities a second primary school.

:03:52.:03:55.

And even a community woodland for neighbouring Chesterton.

:03:56.:03:58.

Those responsible for Bicester's growth, say ?1 billion worth

:03:59.:04:01.

of public and private investment will support its transformation

:04:02.:04:09.

Now we are bringing forward employment space, we are brhnging

:04:10.:04:12.

forward a wonderful town centre We are bringing forward the recreation

:04:13.:04:14.

facilities, education that `ll helps to complement Bicester as a town.

:04:15.:04:22.

As more people like the Days move to the area, getting

:04:23.:04:25.

the right balance of housing, jobs and infrastructure will be key

:04:26.:04:28.

Thames Valley Police has apologised to the family of a man knocked

:04:29.:04:40.

down and killed by a police car in Reading early yesterday lorning.

:04:41.:04:43.

The vehicle was responding to reports of a burglary.

:04:44.:04:45.

It also hit a police officer on foot who was injured.

:04:46.:04:48.

An investigation's underway into what happened.

:04:49.:04:53.

Three months after he survived a heart attack, Wiltshire's Police and

:04:54.:04:56.

Crime Commissioner has met the air ambulance team who saved his life.

:04:57.:04:59.

Angus MacPherson collapsed while he was on official duties

:05:00.:05:01.

One that, without these helhcopter heroes, may never have happdned

:05:02.:05:18.

It is very humbling really to meet the guys that picked me up `nd

:05:19.:05:21.

And to see the kit that I w`s transported in, because I h`ve

:05:22.:05:27.

Wiltshire's Crime Commissioner was at a function in May

:05:28.:05:33.

The life of the man who is hn charge of the force's ?100 million budget

:05:34.:05:42.

now dependent on the speed of the charity`run air ambulance.

:05:43.:05:45.

Do you feel that these guys saved your life that night?

:05:46.:05:48.

I'm sure they had a pretty major part in doing so

:05:49.:05:51.

We bring the emergency department to the patient

:05:52.:05:56.

so we can do a whole range of things that would not normally be `vailable

:05:57.:06:00.

to you ? from putting you to sleep, anaesthesia, to fairly complex

:06:01.:06:02.

In Angus's particular case he required pretty rapid anaesthesia

:06:03.:06:09.

and intubation, and several drugs to keep his heart beating harddr

:06:10.:06:12.

and faster so that is the interventions we undertook on him.

:06:13.:06:16.

We got there in about 13 minutes from here once we were taskdd

:06:17.:06:19.

and we were able to offer those almost immediately when we `rrived.

:06:20.:06:22.

Angus MacPherson is now recovering and back at work two days a week.

:06:23.:06:26.

Firmly focused on the job, but now with first`hand expdrience

:06:27.:06:29.

of the vital work of the other emergency servhces

:06:30.:06:39.

We are expecting a number of showers during the day, laybe

:07:06.:07:10.

You can see the really quite intense burst there

:07:11.:07:12.

:07:13.:07:15.
