:00:38. > :00:56.An inquest has been hearing about the actions that led to the death of

:00:57. > :01:00.a man involved in a botched robbery at an Oxford jewellery shop.

:01:01. > :01:03.33`year`old Clint Townsend from Headington stopped breathing after

:01:14. > :01:16.Seven witnesses took to the stand at Oxford Coroner's Court today

:01:17. > :01:20.including shopkeepers and assistants and people shopping

:01:21. > :01:29.The inquest also heard a further seven in statement forms,

:01:30. > :01:32.Many of the accounts agreed many of the events of the morning, namely

:01:33. > :01:35.that two men rode into the covered market on a motorbike beford 9: 5.

:01:36. > :01:39.The passenger, who has sincd been identified as Clint Townsend,

:01:52. > :02:00.One witness described it as being like an explosion, another said

:02:01. > :02:01.glass was everywhere. What happened next varied depending on who was on

:02:02. > :02:06.the stand. One witness, John Gowing,

:02:07. > :02:08.who has been running the jewellers for 42 years,

:02:09. > :02:11.said that at one point up to eight men were restraining the suspect on

:02:12. > :02:14.the floor to stop him getting away. Other witnesses describe only three

:02:15. > :02:22.men holding him down ` John Gowing, a second worker

:02:23. > :02:25.at the jewellery shop and The coroner, Alison Thompson, has

:02:26. > :02:32.been keen to stress that thhs is not a criminal case, it's an inpuest

:02:33. > :02:35.with the purpose of finding out Also,

:02:36. > :02:38.because it's in the coroner's court, the family of Clint Townsend can

:02:39. > :02:40.ask witnesses direct questions as Tomorrow the court will hear

:02:41. > :02:44.from the pathologist who did the post mortem and the polhce who

:02:45. > :02:52.arrived on the scene. Police are investigating how

:02:53. > :02:54.a car carrying a family ran off the road at a bridge ` falling

:02:55. > :02:58.ten metres, before crashing into Remarkably the mother, fathdr,

:02:59. > :03:03.and their two teenage daughters freed themselves from

:03:04. > :03:06.the crushed vehicle but werd then An eyewitness called the emdrgency

:03:07. > :03:23.services yesterday morning. Broken and battered, this is all

:03:24. > :03:28.that is left of the car being driven home yesterday morning. The family

:03:29. > :03:33.inside had just returned from holiday. Tyre marks sure whdre the

:03:34. > :03:40.vehicle left the road, collhded with the sign behind me, before crashing

:03:41. > :03:45.through this barrier. Think the vehicle crashing into the rhver

:03:46. > :03:50.below. The vehicle landed on its side, half submerged in watdr. A

:03:51. > :03:55.member of the public so what happened and called the emergency

:03:56. > :03:59.services. The two sisters escaped from the rear doors and pardnts left

:04:00. > :04:04.through the front window. Fhre crews, using specialist equhpment,

:04:05. > :04:08.managed to get the family to safety. They later recovered their crumpled

:04:09. > :04:13.car. The shock and horror for these people as they are falling, they

:04:14. > :04:18.still managed to get out and afterwards, apart from the shock and

:04:19. > :04:21.the cold, it is remarkable that they have sustained such minor injuries

:04:22. > :04:25.and were able to get away and that is down to the safety of thd car and

:04:26. > :04:33.that they were wearing their seat belts. They were very fortunate It

:04:34. > :04:35.seems impossible that they got away without more serious injurids. This

:04:36. > :04:42.was a particularly difficult rescue operation, with challenging access

:04:43. > :04:45.issues, waist deep water and fuel leaking from the vehicle. You can

:04:46. > :04:53.still smell the petrol. The Environment Agency and fire service

:04:54. > :04:56.used water filled blockades to stop the fuel spreading down the river.

:04:57. > :05:01.Police are continuing investigations into what caused the accident but

:05:02. > :05:04.say it is remarkable nobody was injured.

:05:05. > :05:06.The company which provides food for patients at Swindon's Great Western

:05:07. > :05:09.hospital is being told to m`ke major improvements, after being ghven a

:05:10. > :05:14.The catering arm of the firl Carillion scored poorly for the way

:05:15. > :05:16.it stores food, during the lost recent inspection at the hospital.

:05:17. > :05:19.The Department of Health called the results unacceptable.

:05:20. > :05:24.Carillion says improvements are being made.

:05:25. > :05:27.A third of all people sent to prison on remand at the order of Oxford

:05:28. > :05:31.Crown Court last year were later cleared of all charges, or went on

:05:32. > :05:36.Prison reform campaigners h`ve published a list of courts

:05:37. > :05:41.which they suggest are overtsing or misusing the power of remand,

:05:42. > :05:44.that's when someone is lockdd`up before they've faced trial.

:05:45. > :05:47.A short time ago, I asked Frances Crook of the Howard League

:05:48. > :05:52.for Penal Reform, why someone might be placed in prison on remand.

:05:53. > :05:55.One of the good reasons why you might want to put somebody hn prison

:05:56. > :05:58.on remand is if they are facing charges of domestic violencd.

:05:59. > :06:07.why the courts would choose to remand somebody to custody.

:06:08. > :06:10.But there will be all sorts of wrong decisions being made.

:06:11. > :06:13.That is what this is highlighting today.

:06:14. > :06:16.But do the courts not make what they believe is the right decision

:06:17. > :06:22.In that they may think someone may commit an offence or abscond?

:06:23. > :06:26.You do not want people to abscond before trial and that is obviously

:06:27. > :06:32.However, in Oxford, 30% of people who are given

:06:33. > :06:36.a custodial remand were not then given a prison sentence.

:06:37. > :06:39.I do not think there is a public safety issue

:06:40. > :06:43.because actually sending soleone to prison is more likely to disrupt

:06:44. > :06:46.They may lose their family as a result,

:06:47. > :06:52.And then at the end of the trial, it may be found that they wdre

:06:53. > :06:58.They do not get compensation so you may have spent months in prhson

:06:59. > :07:01.awaiting trial and then be found not guilty with no compensation.

:07:02. > :07:06.We have had a statement from the judiciary.

:07:07. > :07:23.They are saying their hands are tied.

:07:24. > :07:32.I think the patterns being revealed are showing

:07:33. > :07:36.that there is a misuse and overuse of custodial reland

:07:37. > :07:38.We hope that we can have a useful dialogue with the

:07:39. > :07:45.Thank you. Thank you.

:07:46. > :07:48.The Environment Agency says its own contractors will now take over

:07:49. > :07:51.the operation to shift thousands of tons of rubbish from a rdcycling

:07:52. > :07:55.site in Swindon, where a fire's been burning for nearly a month.

:07:56. > :07:59.The company which owns the business, Averies, had been ordered to start

:08:00. > :08:04.Until that's done, fire fighters are unable to reach

:08:05. > :08:10.But with the deadline now p`ssed, another firm's been brought in.

:08:11. > :08:13.It's expected to take sever`l days to transfer the non`burning

:08:14. > :08:19.Guests may not notice the difference, but the people

:08:20. > :08:22.running a West Oxfordshire hotel should see their energy bills fall

:08:23. > :08:26.The Old Swan and Minster Mill near Witney is

:08:27. > :08:30.the latest riverside business to take advantage of the free power

:08:31. > :08:35.They're installing an Archiledes Screw, which should be generating

:08:36. > :08:44.The gardens here are a tranpuil spot but in a few weeks' time,

:08:45. > :08:48.part of this area will become even greendr.

:08:49. > :08:54.by the river which runs alongside the hotel.

:08:55. > :09:00.A similar Archimedes Screw hs already in place elsewhere.

:09:01. > :09:03.Flowing river water turns the turbine inside,

:09:04. > :09:09.It is costing significantly over ?200,000

:09:10. > :09:12.to install the screw but according to the experts,

:09:13. > :09:16.the investment should be recouped within seven ye`rs

:09:17. > :09:21.the life of the screw is probably 25`30 years.

:09:22. > :09:24.And as electricity will continue to go up in price,

:09:25. > :09:39.And work has now started to install the six metre long screw.

:09:40. > :09:45.installed a similar device. It has installed a similar device. It has

:09:46. > :09:48.become the first stately hole in the UK to do so and it is hoped it will

:09:49. > :09:52.save ?5,500 from its energy bills. And work has now started to

:09:53. > :09:55.install the six metre long screw. It is expected to be up

:09:56. > :09:57.and running from September. The highlights of the weekend's

:09:58. > :10:00.football action from Oxford, Swindon I'll be back

:10:01. > :10:05.after the ten o'clock news. Now more of today's stories

:11:37. > :11:45.it's worked with the communhty to for counselling for people who are

:11:46. > :11:50.suffering stress? Our welfare department I hugely busy, m`ssively

:11:51. > :12:04.busy. I think the force can with straight harder. The rules `re

:12:05. > :12:09.closely in force. We park their We were waiting there for five minutes.

:12:10. > :12:14.This couple have just got b`ck from holiday and were unloading their

:12:15. > :12:17.luggage. We did most of the staff at night but because we arrived after

:12:18. > :12:22.midnight, it was too late and we were tired. Basically we ard not

:12:23. > :12:26.allowed to park there and wd should pay ?60 or if we do not want to do

:12:27. > :12:32.that, after 14 days we should pay ?100. The estate is still bding

:12:33. > :12:38.built so the land is still owned by the private developers. The employee

:12:49. > :12:55.you do the civil courts. We parked just here. That was the gamble

:12:56. > :13:00.Sharon did. A friend dropped her off at her house after a chemotherapy

:13:01. > :13:04.session and received the sale notice. Lots of people were saying

:13:05. > :13:09.not to pay it, it is not a parking fine, it is an invoice. We totally

:13:10. > :13:14.ignored it, did not acknowlddge it in any way. My friend has shnce had

:13:15. > :13:24.four letters demanding paymdnt and we just keep ignoring them. The

:13:25. > :13:26.company used to clamp motorhst on this estate. Campaigners want the

:13:27. > :13:34.laws tightened even more. Highway parking is controlldd by an

:13:35. > :13:38.enormous raft of law, meaning local authorities are held very closely to

:13:39. > :13:43.account with regards to how they sign parking rules and enforce them,

:13:44. > :13:48.and the appeals process. The government is looking

:13:49. > :13:51.at how private firms operatd but the residents of this estate

:13:52. > :14:13.want parking enforcement relaxed We have a company for a intdrview

:14:14. > :14:20.but they refused to comment. When the estate is finished the roads

:14:21. > :14:22.will be adopted by the council but until then the private comp`ny will
