:01:22. > :01:25.She was a big part of our family and we all loved her,

:01:26. > :01:31.and losing her at such a young age has been really difficult.

:01:32. > :01:34.36-year-old Farid Reza was at the wheel.

:01:35. > :01:37.In court, he fell to the feet of his victim's father

:01:54. > :02:00.It happened here on an evening when many students were in the area

:02:01. > :02:08.The cars were travelling down the street at 70 mph.

:02:09. > :02:12.When one of them hit Hina Shamim, she did not stand a chance.

:02:18. > :02:20.One of them that suffered a fractured jaw, collarbone

:02:21. > :02:26.How would you characterise the driving that night?

:02:27. > :02:37.60 mph with children in the car, ridiculous.

:02:38. > :02:40.Let's not forget there were seven people injured that night,

:03:00. > :03:09.Campaigners are making their last stand against an oil company

:03:53. > :03:54.fight over the prospect of test drilling for oil under

:03:55. > :03:58.I would like my grandchildren to have the same growing up,

:03:59. > :04:00.with all this wonderful countryside around them.

:04:01. > :04:03.This is not about fracking for shale gas, which is much more

:04:04. > :04:05.controversial and has got plenty of headlines.

:04:06. > :04:09.This is straightforward drilling for oil.

:04:10. > :04:13.But for these protesters in residence, that is not the point.

:04:14. > :04:17.Surrey Hills has been designated as an area

:04:18. > :04:21.of outstanding natural beauty, and they say if permission

:04:22. > :04:23.is granted to drill here, it could be granted

:04:24. > :04:31.There is already a site up the road in Brockham.

:04:32. > :04:36.The oil rig itself would be 35 metres high.

:04:37. > :04:39.It is hoped it could yield up to 11 million barrels.

:04:40. > :04:43.There is also a chance there might be no oil there whatsoever.

:04:44. > :04:46.I'll just have to be arrested, I'm afraid.

:04:47. > :04:48.Recently, the stakes have been raised.

:04:49. > :04:53.Protesters have been accused of blocking lorries in the road.

:04:54. > :05:05.The bigger picture is the entire Weald will be industrialised

:05:06. > :05:08.if we do not look out or watch what is happening, because there

:05:09. > :05:11.is going to be Surrey Hills, Brockham, they are looking

:05:12. > :05:21.Surrey County Council, which has opposed plans throughout,

:05:22. > :05:24.said drilling is still some way off, but the days of this protest

:05:25. > :05:33.The mystery behind the identity of a man found dead more than a year

:05:34. > :05:37.ago on Saddleworth Moor in the north of England has finally been solved.

:05:38. > :05:40.He's 67-year-old Londoner, David Lytton.

:05:41. > :05:52.This is a fascinating story and has been a real mystery. He was found on

:05:53. > :05:57.the moor without a wallet, without a phone, any IDE. It was quite strange

:05:58. > :06:00.how he was actually found. His legs were pointing down, very straight,

:06:01. > :06:04.his head pointing up, his arms were across his chest and it was as if he

:06:05. > :06:08.was lying down on the path. A postmortem has revealed he had a

:06:09. > :06:17.titanium plate in his leg, which was only manufactured and in Dagestan

:06:18. > :06:20.and after extensive police work it's now known that he flew to Heathrow

:06:21. > :06:22.from in Pakistan on the 10th of December, 2015. He'd lived in

:06:23. > :06:27.Pakistan for ten years. He boarded a train to Manchester and was captured

:06:28. > :06:32.on CCTV, you can just about see that now. You can see the pictures

:06:33. > :06:35.captured on CCTV. He arrived at a pub in Saddleworth and asked the

:06:36. > :06:38.landlord directions to the top of a mountain. His body was later found

:06:39. > :06:46.on the moor, with a container of medicine which police -- police was

:06:47. > :06:49.-- police believe was the cause of death, it was poison used to kill

:06:50. > :06:53.rats widely used in Pakistan. Nobody knows why he headed back to this

:06:54. > :06:57.country from Pakistan, to the moors, there's lots of mystery surrounding

:06:58. > :07:01.it. He had a train ticket in his trouser pocket, a return ticket to

:07:02. > :07:03.London, so many unanswered questions still.

:07:04. > :07:07.Thank you for the update. Have you bought a coffee

:07:08. > :07:09.today from a coffee shop? If you have, there's a good chance

:07:10. > :07:12.you've added to the millions of disposable cups which end up

:07:13. > :07:14.in landfill sites, It's the problem of the cups

:07:15. > :07:20.being lined with plastic. But the City of London Authority

:07:21. > :07:23.has found a solution. Tea may traditionally be

:07:24. > :07:26.the nation's favourite drink, but coffee culture has taken

:07:27. > :07:30.the UK by storm. We love to get it to go,

:07:31. > :07:33.but disposing all our cups Every day, it's estimated

:07:34. > :07:38.7 million are thrown away, and less than 1% of cups

:07:39. > :07:41.could be recycled. The problem is that these cups

:07:42. > :07:47.are made from paper and plastic, so you can recycle the lid,

:07:48. > :07:51.you can recycle this bit of cardboard, but inside the paper

:07:52. > :07:56.cup there is a plastic film which makes it waterproof,

:07:57. > :07:58.and it is really difficult We think that most people

:07:59. > :08:06.do want to recycle. Many people think they are

:08:07. > :08:09.currently recycling them. Now an initiative to boost

:08:10. > :08:12.recycling has been launched The Square Mile Challenge

:08:13. > :08:18.is encouraging businesses to sign up to a scheme which provides

:08:19. > :08:20.specialist recycling Technology to separate the plastic

:08:21. > :08:29.and the paper has only fairly It is new technology,

:08:30. > :08:35.it needs developing, it needs volume to go to those

:08:36. > :08:39.mills, to get them That is what we're trying do

:08:40. > :08:44.with the Square Mile Challenge, to supply that volume and create

:08:45. > :08:47.a template which can be followed Last year, the Liberal Democrats

:08:48. > :08:52.called for a 5p charge on coffee cups, similar to the one imposed

:08:53. > :08:55.on plastic bags. But the government says coffee

:08:56. > :08:58.chains and brands are already This is one of a number encouraging

:08:59. > :09:06.people to buy reusable cups. They are a cup that is

:09:07. > :09:10.a permanent takeaway cup. We will put your takeaway coffee

:09:11. > :09:16.in here, and as an incentive, you will get a free coffee

:09:17. > :09:19.for a week. It is really important

:09:20. > :09:23.because anything we can do to make it easier on the planet,

:09:24. > :09:27.I guess. If you work in the Square Mile,

:09:28. > :09:30.you'll start to see bins The ambition is to recycle 5 million

:09:31. > :09:37.cups within 12 months and inspire other areas to take

:09:38. > :09:54.up the challenge. Alt. -- although the RMT Tube strike

:09:55. > :10:00.finished this evening, you may wish to keep across the travel on 6:30am

:10:01. > :10:05.on BBC One, we will have the latest news and travel. I'm sure that

:10:06. > :10:10.coffee sales increase on a freezing day like today.

:10:11. > :10:15.Bitter, raw, I've heard various objectives to hear today's weather.

:10:16. > :10:19.Not a day to go running. Less cold tomorrow, good news, mostly dry as

:10:20. > :10:24.well. It will turn milder towards the weekend. The blue is

:10:25. > :10:27.disappearing over the next few days eastwards, and something more mellow

:10:28. > :10:33.and greener over the next couple of days. We are in the blue tonight,

:10:34. > :10:38.lows of -3 or -4 in some places. A hard frost, a few freezing fog

:10:39. > :10:41.patches. Towards the end of the night, a risk of rain all the odd

:10:42. > :10:46.flake of snow, some yellow warnings in force for the risk of ice first

:10:47. > :10:49.thing in the morning. It shouldn't amount to much, things will clear

:10:50. > :10:53.through and brighten up the touch. We will see thick cloud and the odd

:10:54. > :10:56.spot of rain later in the day. Temperatures will be much higher. We

:10:57. > :11:00.are heading in the right direction. That theme continues through the

:11:01. > :11:01.weekend. It's swings and roundabouts, higher temperatures but

:11:02. > :11:02.some rain as roundabouts, higher temperatures but

:11:03. > :11:13.some rain as well. Good evening. It's been dry so far

:11:14. > :11:19.this January but as it draws to a close it looks like we will see some

:11:20. > :11:22.rain at last. It's been an interesting today a bitterly cold in

:11:23. > :11:28.Norfolk, way we kept the grey cloud all day and the grey cloud gave a

:11:29. > :11:32.dusting of snow in places. This is a lovely picture sent in from Sutton

:11:33. > :11:35.Coldfield. Rob Wales and much of Scotland it's been a beautiful day,

:11:36. > :11:40.lots of sunshine and temperatures, 13 degrees compared with -2 under

:11:41. > :11:44.the cloud in East Anglia. Those temperatures are already down to -3

:11:45. > :11:47.or minus four. It's bitter out there, when you add on the

:11:48. > :11:52.wind-chill, quite a severe frost in places. Eluding the frost in the

:11:53. > :11:55.south and west because we have more cloud and wind here. But for many

:11:56. > :11:59.others, another frosty night, another hard frost particularly in

:12:00. > :12:00.the countryside and with the potential especially
