:05:59. > :06:01.from Llangollen, who died from a gunshot wound at Deepcut barracks
:06:02. > :06:04.in Surrey almost 20 years ago. High Court judges said that the
:06:05. > :06:10.original investigation had flaws. Private James was one
:06:11. > :06:14.of four soldiers who died at Deepcut over a seven year period
:06:15. > :06:16.amid claims of bullying. A cheerful 18-year-old who enjoyed
:06:17. > :06:24.life in the army Cheryl James died a few months
:06:25. > :06:28.after this parade was filmed. She was found with
:06:29. > :06:30.a bullet wound to the head after being posted on guard duty at
:06:31. > :06:47.Deepcut barracks in November 1995. Judges have quashed the open verdict
:06:48. > :06:52.of the inquest. They say the original enquiry was limited and
:06:53. > :06:56.flawed and new facts make a fresh inquest desirable in the interests
:06:57. > :07:00.of justice. The bullet which killed her was not examined and was lost as
:07:01. > :07:06.were all other bullets from the magazine. There was no forensic
:07:07. > :07:10.examination of the gun. The family believe the authorities failed to
:07:11. > :07:18.investigate the death. A crucial step for the family, not a cause for
:07:19. > :07:21.celebration though. Closure has to be redefined as being able to look
:07:22. > :07:28.at yourself in the mirror and say I have done all I could. I have not
:07:29. > :07:34.been able to do that stronger than I was in 1995 and I certainly am far
:07:35. > :07:38.more cynical and I will not be hoodwinked into believing what I am
:07:39. > :07:43.told now. We will look carefully at every stage of the process. This has
:07:44. > :07:51.been a long and painful process. She was the second of four young
:07:52. > :07:54.soldiers to die at Deep Cut. All the families insist they
:07:55. > :07:56.would not have killed themselves. Cheryl?s death was in 1995 - the
:07:57. > :07:59.original inquest was held a month In June 2002 all four families
:08:00. > :08:03.called for a public inquiry. Surrey Police published
:08:04. > :08:05.a fifth report into the deaths That was reviewed by the Devon
:08:06. > :08:08.and Cornwall force. And in March 2006 Nicholas Blake QC
:08:09. > :08:22.published his review Many people would have given up
:08:23. > :08:26.being faced with the obstacles and the sheer refusal to co-operate with
:08:27. > :08:29.them from the authorities. They met it with persistence and dignity and
:08:30. > :08:33.that has borne fruit today. Des James fight
:08:34. > :08:35.for the truth about what happened Many questions still remain
:08:36. > :08:39.unanswered but a new inquest will at least provide a public forum in
:08:40. > :08:42.which those questions can be asked. A jury has started considering its

:10:39. > :10:40.The London Eye Hospital has described the treatment has

:13:18. > :13:21.being there, all through the lens of their own personal mental health
:13:22. > :13:27.issues. Very different from when some lost control as patients in the
:13:28. > :13:34.past. The door shut behind you and you became a nonperson. That follows
:13:35. > :13:41.you, suddenly here we are in the archives and we are saying this is
:13:42. > :13:49.what happened. It is amazing. We work with people who would never

:14:06. > :14:08.I can see value in people who experienced mental illness and their

:25:02. > :25:06.weather in the forecast, heat and humidity, the risk of vicious storms
:25:07. > :25:12.and the risk of localised flooding. It is very quiet at the moment, some

:25:19. > :25:24.their way up from France and intense downpours, it is thundery mixed with
:25:25. > :25:28.hail. Very uncomfortable for sleeping, temperatures between 15
:25:29. > :25:33.and 18. The wind is light and variable. This low pressure is
:25:34. > :25:39.responsible for stormy weather tomorrow, it pushes away and things
:25:40. > :25:43.settled down by Sunday. First thing to write, heavy thundery showers
:25:44. > :25:48.making their way northwards, a brief break, perhaps sunshine and by the
:25:49. > :25:53.afternoon more showers triggered by the heat, they could be heavy and
:25:54. > :25:59.thundery, especially away from the coast. The warning is in place from
:26:00. > :26:04.midnight tonight until midnight tomorrow night. 18 and 22 Celsius.
:26:05. > :26:11.Tomorrow night, the showers will clear, a quiet night, we should
:26:12. > :26:15.sleep better. It is still rather muddy in nearly hours of Sunday
:26:16. > :26:22.morning, temperatures in double figures for most of us between 14
:26:23. > :26:29.and 16 with mist and fog forming in the early hours. Sunday, a calmer
:26:30. > :26:34.day, some showers but it will be dry, some sunshine, variable cloud,
:26:35. > :26:42.temperatures more comfortable to deal with. Between 19 and 21
:26:43. > :26:47.Celsius. Today, it was 27 Celsius. A 6 degrees drop by Sunday. The start
:26:48. > :26:54.of next week, things will settle down. Lastly, the pictures, a
:26:55. > :27:01.beautiful scene from the storms last night. We would love to see more.
:27:02. > :27:07.Back to you. The headlines: President Obama says the Malaysian
:27:08. > :27:12.aircraft was shot down by a surfaced and missile fired in eastern Ukraine
:27:13. > :27:19.from an area controlled by Russian backed separatists. 298 people died
:27:20. > :27:25.in the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. It crashed yesterday.
:27:26. > :27:30.There has to be a credible international investigation. The UN
:27:31. > :27:35.Security Council and we will hold all its members including Russia to
:27:36. > :27:40.their word. We will facilitate the investigation. We will have an
