:04:09. > :04:17.We do know there are downsides to the screening, and sometimes
:04:18. > :04:20.cancer can be missed because it doesn't appear on the x`ray.
:04:21. > :04:25.Sometimes, women can develop breast cancer in that three year period.
:04:26. > :04:27.That is why it is really important that for women,
:04:28. > :04:30.even if they are attending breast screening, they still do remain
:04:31. > :04:34.breast aware and we advise women to touch, look and check for any

:04:40. > :04:43.A high percentage of cancers are picked up by checking themselves?
:04:44. > :04:46.Yes, that is right, and being breast aware and attending regular

:05:04. > :05:07.not put off attending mammograms or putting faith in mammograms?
:05:08. > :05:10.Breast screening is reliable and it does save lives,
:05:11. > :05:14.that is why we do recommend that women go, but it is important that

:08:29. > :08:33.though most voted in favour of the neighbourhood plan last year.
:08:34. > :08:36.What we have found out is that most of the residents didn't quite
:08:37. > :08:38.actually understand what the consequences of this were, and now
:08:39. > :08:42.that we have marketed this to them and they now understand what is
:08:43. > :08:45.happening here, they realise that it is not what they want and they are

:09:21. > :09:22.and vets say fleas have become Mild winters and damp summers are
:09:23. > :09:26.thought to have caused the increase. Also vets say more animal owners are
:09:27. > :09:29.buying treatment products online, Just the thought of them is enough
:09:30. > :09:34.to make you want to scratch. And in Oxfordshire, pet owners
:09:35. > :09:36.are feeling increasingly itchy. Certainly, it has been
:09:37. > :09:39.a busy year on the flea front. Fleas are now an all year round
:09:40. > :09:42.problem, so we do see them through at whatever time of year it is,
:09:43. > :09:46.and this year with the warm summer, there's been a huge extra
:09:47. > :09:53.environmental burden from fleas. Treasure here is flea`free
:09:54. > :09:57.and it's largely thanks to her It is difficult to try to get rid
:09:58. > :10:02.of them all. I found that the flea bombs
:10:03. > :10:06.in carpets, it was really expensive It was just a big learning curve
:10:07. > :10:12.and it made me more vigilant. Experts at the Pest Control
:10:13. > :10:14.Association say flea eggs, which are tiny white flecks and can
:10:15. > :10:19.look like dry skin on an animal, can live in carpets for
:10:20. > :10:24.up to three years, only hatching So, if you go into a property that's
:10:25. > :10:29.been unoccupied, those flea cocoons could be set off again by the carbon
:10:30. > :10:37.dioxide in people's breath. The advice then is to seek
:10:38. > :10:39.veterinary advice and treat the site of infestations,
:10:40. > :10:48.not just the animals. That's all from me for the moment.

:11:50. > :11:56.on his deathbed that I was going to get justice for him, I was going
:11:57. > :12:00.to try and get justice for him. And I've made the decision that we
:12:01. > :12:02.need to push forward now and we should not let Sussex Police
:12:03. > :12:05.hold us back any longer Two men were charged with
:12:06. > :12:13.Mr Abatan's manslaughter but the case was dropped because
:12:14. > :12:17.of a lack of evidence. One of those men, Graham Curtis,
:12:18. > :12:21.committed suicide in 2003. Three Sussex police detectives

:12:24. > :12:27.and their units work described as a I think in cases such as this it is
:12:28. > :12:36.important that as much awareness is raised about the case and as many
:12:37. > :12:39.people as possible are aware of it and it is put out in the public
:12:40. > :12:42.domain because the facts around it, and the fact that it has been
:12:43. > :12:45.subject to so many investigations due to internal flaws, mean that the
:12:46. > :12:50.family needs to be given justice. I think that will have to be new

:12:53. > :12:56.start any fresh proceedings against anybody and of course anyone who is

:15:53. > :15:55.Silverlake Stadium for tonight's roundup and sent us
:15:56. > :16:06.this report a short time ago. It is an absolutely massive night
:16:07. > :16:14.for everybody connected with this football club. It will be hosting
:16:15. > :16:29.its first ever Premier game. It started life with a 3`0 win. It is
:16:30. > :16:33.taking on Hampshire rivals. This stand was bought in from Exeter

:16:55. > :17:00.first for as. We have got the TV cameras here as well so it is every
:17:01. > :17:06.fan's dream tonight so we have to make the most of it. Does that bring
:17:07. > :17:10.you a windfall? It gets you about ?7,000 are not a huge amount of
:17:11. > :17:15.money but what it does is raise the profile of the club and that is far
:17:16. > :17:19.more important so I think the money is obviously helpful but the biggest
:17:20. > :17:24.thing and the biggest challenge we have is to raise the profile of the
:17:25. > :17:29.club so it is ideal. A big step up this year. The long`term goal is to
:17:30. > :17:36.keep on rising? Absolutely. I think we are in football to be successful
:17:37. > :17:41.as same as you are in any business so very simply we have just got to
