:02:11. > :02:13.car and was only arrested when police discovered his car 48 hours
:02:14. > :02:18.later. He eventually pleaded guilty to five charges. Jake 's parents
:02:19. > :02:26.were in court today to hear the sentence. It is clear their grief is
:02:27. > :02:31.still raw. Any hope of joy hn our lives has been completely rdmoved.
:02:32. > :02:38.We take no pleasure in reminiscing about the past. It torments us. We
:02:39. > :02:45.don't look forward with any particular enthusiasm to thd future

:02:57. > :03:00.It was a dreadful piece of driving made worse by his failure to stop.
:03:01. > :03:05.He left the scene with no thought for the person you had struck, you

:03:14. > :03:16.retrace his last route and pay their respects. Denied some say the
:03:17. > :03:20.three`year sentence is not long enough. But officers working on the
:03:21. > :03:27.case say the judge had to abide by legal rules. No sentence will make
:03:28. > :03:31.up for the loss under the circumstances. We welcome the
:03:32. > :03:38.sentence. We think the judgd summed it up really well. It brought some
:03:39. > :03:44.closure to this very sad occasion. Jake 's family say the spacd his

:04:05. > :04:05.of the biggest leisure developments in the West could be cancelled
:04:06. > :04:11.before work has even begun. Oasis in Swindon has been plagued
:04:12. > :04:14.by funding problems, and de`dlines The council says it will now get
:04:15. > :04:17.tough with developers Our Wiltshire reporter Will Glennon
:04:18. > :04:27.is outside the Oasis for us now Whether you come here for the water
:04:28. > :04:29.slide vortices famous bands, the oasis Centre every week as `
:04:30. > :04:36.destination for thousands of people from right across the West. Here is
:04:37. > :04:40.the development. They want to make it world`class, to combine this site
:04:41. > :04:46.with the derelict land across the road and build a ?90 million complex
:04:47. > :04:52.with a snow dome, an indoor arena and hotels. But will it get built
:04:53. > :04:55.because the developer that signed the contract has not applied for
:04:56. > :04:59.planning permission yet. Thdre's been a host of delays and what's
:05:00. > :05:01.going on? People say the developer needs to get on with it or to get
:05:02. > :05:08.out. More than 600,000 people
:05:09. > :05:10.come here every year. Built in 1976,
:05:11. > :05:12.the Oasis was a major attraction. But it's tired
:05:13. > :05:14.and a huge redevelopment is planned The developer should have ptt
:05:15. > :05:21.in a planning application bx now. The council hasn't
:05:22. > :05:23.received anything. The deadline has been
:05:24. > :05:26.put back to next May. That developer is Moirai Capital
:05:27. > :05:32.Investments who the council believed had the skills and experience, but
:05:33. > :05:39.not significant working caphtal They say this is changing,
:05:40. > :05:42.but some are questioning thd deal. The council seemed to want to get,
:05:43. > :05:51.work with any business rathdr than We'd like to see them being much
:05:52. > :05:55.more tenacious with public loney, making sure they're getting the
:05:56. > :05:58.right companies who can delhver on the promises they are making rather
:05:59. > :06:00.than rolling over, having the tummies tickled, and doing
:06:01. > :06:03.whatever the companies say. Moirai also took on the
:06:04. > :06:06.finishing what was already here With its gym,
:06:07. > :06:10.swimming pool and sports hall. Some of that work was done but was
:06:11. > :06:15.delayed partly due to funding. Other work including repairs to
:06:16. > :06:18.the iconic domed roof, in fact ?1 million worth,
:06:19. > :06:23.that simply has not been colpleted. The council is now talking tough
:06:24. > :06:26.after a new timetable was agreed These are lines in
:06:27. > :06:31.the sand now because we can't keep missing the dates, so it made it
:06:32. > :06:34.very clear to the bosses at Moirai that there's been enough slhppage
:06:35. > :06:39.and they really now have got to meet Moirai also ran
:06:40. > :06:47.the leisure centre through Adam Carlton serviced refridgeration
:06:48. > :06:56.equipment at the leisure centre He was always paid until
:06:57. > :07:01.Oasis Operations took over. In April 2013,
:07:02. > :07:05.the company was sold for ?1 to a man He didn't run the leisure cdntre
:07:06. > :07:12.and changed the company's n`me but that company went under partly
:07:13. > :07:16.because of historic debt. Creditors, including Adam,
:07:17. > :07:21.are owed more than ?800,000. We want to do work for as m`ny
:07:22. > :07:25.firms in Swindon as possibld. So to have that especially
:07:26. > :07:28.on your doorstep was a bit You've been chasing and chasing
:07:29. > :07:32.and chasing for six months We wanted to talk to
:07:33. > :07:40.Mr Wojciechowski. But no one had dealt with hhm and
:07:41. > :07:46.he didn't reply to our enquhries. Some creditors were promised
:07:47. > :07:49.payment by Moirai. At no point did they say thdy
:07:50. > :07:56.didn't own the company, thex had no interest in the company `nd
:07:57. > :07:59.that they had moved the debt on Moirai declined to comment but
:08:00. > :08:02.if they don't act swiftly the council could pull the plug
:08:03. > :08:09.and look for a new partner. It's important to say that the Oasis
:08:10. > :08:13.is still open and running wdll. The green you can see here hs
:08:14. > :08:17.the logo of the company that's now responsible for the day to day
:08:18. > :08:21.running, a company called GLL. They are not involved
:08:22. > :08:26.in the development delays at all. But I've spoken to people who use
:08:27. > :08:29.the facilities here and they all say it's crying out
:08:30. > :08:31.for the refurbishment work. That really needs to be dond
:08:32. > :08:36.as soon as possible. There's no doubt about the hmpact
:08:37. > :08:42.on the region if and when the full leisure development is
:08:43. > :08:44.completed, providing, of cotrse Welcome along to Wednesday's

:09:45. > :09:54.Our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill reports.
:09:55. > :09:57.So many inspectors, they cotldn t all cross the road together.
:09:58. > :10:01.They are here to expose poor performance after the scand`l
:10:02. > :10:05.at Stafford, where hundreds of patients died unnecessarhly.
:10:06. > :10:08.The inspectors include doctors, nurses and even patients.
:10:09. > :10:11.They will be blitzing eight departments here, including A

:10:15. > :10:24.They will be asking, are the services safe, effective,
:10:25. > :10:29.But according to the families who lost children
:10:30. > :10:34.after cardiac surgery, thosd five qualities were sadly lacking.
:10:35. > :10:38.We don't believe we have got anything to worry about there.
:10:39. > :10:42.We know that the CQC found the children's hospital compliant when
:10:43. > :10:49.So we are very positive about where we stand and I'l sure

:11:03. > :11:06.so doesn't the woman in charge feel they will give a false imprdssion?
:11:07. > :11:11.We are used to the smell of fresh paint on our inspections,
:11:12. > :11:15.but the reality is we are hdre over three days, and people are busy
:11:16. > :11:19.That's their first concern so actually they all care for
:11:20. > :11:26.We will also, as part of thhs inspection, be coming back `t some
:11:27. > :11:34.Accident and Emergency is one area likely to be criticised.
:11:35. > :11:36.It's not meeting targets but managers are hoping
:11:37. > :11:57.New research carried out by a scientist from Bath has stggested
:11:58. > :11:59.that over 150 patients could wake up every year while undergoing surgery.
:12:00. > :12:01.Patients described feelings of panic, fear,
:12:02. > :12:05.The Royal College of Anaesthetists says such episodes are rare with

:12:14. > :12:15.People living near the A303 say they are worried
:12:16. > :12:17.that resurfacing work will lead to more traffic and noise pollttion
:12:18. > :12:22.There will be closures of the A 03 from tonight on a seven`and`a`half

:12:47. > :12:55.Americans are developing a taste for the famous Somerset drink too.
:12:56. > :12:58.The cider market in America is very small but it s
:12:59. > :13:04.And America is a big countrx of over 300 million population, so there's
:13:05. > :13:07.a lot to go out and the intdrest in cider is absolutely enorlous
:13:08. > :13:12.It's exploding, growing at 100% or 200%, depending
:13:13. > :13:20.There's a lot of potential out there.
:13:21. > :13:24.What we want to do is bring them really good English cider

:13:51. > :13:58.I caught up Sir David at Abbeywood School in South Gloucestershire
:13:59. > :14:04.I asked him how many academhes and free schools are giving him concern?
:14:05. > :14:06.I think in my region there are between 40 and
:14:07. > :14:09.45 primary and secondary schools, that in the first eight weeks in
:14:10. > :14:14.So you're going to sort out 50 schools in the South West?
:14:15. > :14:20.You're doing work which used to be done by the local educathon
:14:21. > :14:29.My remit is probably about what the local authorhty role
:14:30. > :14:33.is today which is about holding to account, so my remit is to work with
:14:34. > :14:35.schools, to understand why they got into difficulties,
:14:36. > :14:38.challenge them how to improve and quickly and hold them to account.
:14:39. > :14:42.I do have a capacity to work with sponsers, with governors and school
:14:43. > :14:46.leaders, headteachers, to insist the standards they aspire to are
:14:47. > :14:51.There is one school in west Somerset where parents have a petition
:14:52. > :14:54.against the headteacher bec`use they are unhappy with the results.
:14:55. > :14:57.Is that a case where you would intervene
:14:58. > :15:02.I think that's a matter for the governors of that school.
:15:03. > :15:05.I'm aware of the performancd of that school so if the st`ndards
:15:06. > :15:15.I this it's important this role has some teeth because I think xou are
:15:16. > :15:18.trying to rely on goodwill and persuasion you will be slow at
:15:19. > :15:21.There is clearly a ladder of intervention
:15:22. > :15:23.which includes warning notices and also suspending funding agrdements
:15:24. > :15:30.I sincerely hope and suspect that won't happen in the south`wdst.
:15:31. > :15:32.But you would be prepared to close down schools?
:15:33. > :15:36.I think that's an important part of the role, to take the broadest
:15:37. > :15:39.possible view as to what is the best way to secure standards for children
:15:40. > :15:42.in that school and if a school has been inherently failing for a long
:15:43. > :15:45.period of time, and it's difficult to see how you can improve those
:15:46. > :15:48.standards quickly, I think xou have to do see whether a new school
:15:49. > :15:51.or new sponsor is the right thing to do for those children?
:15:52. > :15:53.Sir David Carter, good luck and thank you.

:23:57. > :24:01.number three explains the tdst. The rear end of the vehicle must stop in
:24:02. > :24:09.the Green zone. Only just on the Green zone. How close to th`t bus

:26:02. > :26:07.tonight. An area of high prdssure extending from Scandinavia `cross
:26:08. > :26:10.the UK. This is where the wdt weather is across the west coast of
:26:11. > :26:15.Spain and Portugal and this is where it stays. It moves around stbtly in
:26:16. > :26:21.the next few days but it's helping us keep the fine and dry we`ther and
:26:22. > :26:25.an Easter the breeze which freshens up a little bit through the next
:26:26. > :26:29.couple of days. A lot of cloud today that most of it will fade away
:26:30. > :26:31.tonight. It does become largely clear and dry with a mist forming.
:26:32. > :26:37.By the morning, temperatures dipping down
:26:38. > :26:42.into single figures at around 9`10. For tomorrow, another very similar
:26:43. > :26:48.day. Maybe an invasion of cloud from the east as the day wears on. That
:26:49. > :26:53.will blanket of sunshine at times. Still dry and warm. Temperatures
:26:54. > :26:58.getting up to about 18 ` 19. A little bit cooler than it h`s been
:26:59. > :27:04.over the last couple of days. Onto the forecast. There is a ch`nge
:27:05. > :27:09.more cloud around. Relatively mild with temperatures around 19`20. Not
:27:10. > :27:16.quite as cold as it has been the night time. The breeze is jtst
:27:17. > :27:20.enough to steer the air. Evdn though we may well see some mysterhous
