:00:09. > :00:12.First tonight, the Bedfordshire man who made ten visits to his GP
:00:13. > :00:15.and to A before doctors realised he had a blood clot on his brain.
:00:16. > :00:18.Alex Ray from Shefford was told he had concussion
:00:19. > :00:29.He's suffered permanent damage to his sight and has now received
:00:30. > :00:38.Some guy stole my mobile phone and I took a blow to the head.
:00:39. > :00:41.In the days after that he was fired from his well-paid finance job,
:00:42. > :00:43.his wife left him, taking their two-year-old son,
:00:44. > :00:48.after bizarre behaviour brought on by a brain haemorrhage,
:00:49. > :00:52.undiagnosed by doctors for three months.
:00:53. > :00:54.A lot of blurred vision and massive headaches.
:00:55. > :00:58.Then in the later stages I couldn't walk properly.
:00:59. > :01:01.One of the doctors said I was walking like a drunk person
:01:02. > :01:11.Alex Ray first came here to the A at Lister in Stevenage.
:01:12. > :01:14.They had a look at him and then let him go.
:01:15. > :01:16.He then went to his GP surgery in Shefford on eight different
:01:17. > :01:19.occasions, seeing eight different doctors.
:01:20. > :01:22.They thought he may have an ear infection.
:01:23. > :01:26.Finally, fearing for his life, he came back here.
:01:27. > :01:32.With a blood clot on his brain still unfound, they sent him home.
:01:33. > :01:34.Everyone was responsible because, on each occasion,
:01:35. > :01:36.had any one of them said, "Get yourself to hospital,
:01:37. > :01:40.I'm arranging a scan for you," the head injury
:01:41. > :01:41.would have been revealed and different treatment
:01:42. > :01:44.would have occurred, resulting in Alex probably
:01:45. > :01:49.saving his eyesight, certainly making it a lot better than it was,
:01:50. > :01:52.and he would have retained the executive brain function which he

:01:58. > :02:11.I'm still not happy but I can't turn back time so I have
:02:12. > :02:16.I just hope it doesn't happen to anyone else in a similar
:02:17. > :02:19.The Trust told us, although the majority of Mr Ray's
:02:20. > :02:23.claim was against the GP practice, the Trust has accepted
:02:24. > :02:25.it was wrong that he was not referred for a CT scan.
:02:26. > :02:27.It's hoped the settlement agreed will go
:02:28. > :02:33.Eventually a call to an out of hours service led to
:02:34. > :02:38.His eyesight damaged for good and signed off work.
:02:39. > :02:45.Now he just wants to be there for his son.
:02:46. > :02:48.Police have named the woman who was found dead at a flat
:02:49. > :02:51.in Luton days before a man's body was found dumped in a bin.
:02:52. > :02:54.Tabassum Winning, who was 34 and from Pakistan, was discovered
:02:55. > :02:57.at her home in Essex Close, 12 days ago.
:02:58. > :03:01.A week later a man's body was found in a wheelie bin outside.
:03:02. > :03:07.A man has been arrested in connection with both deaths.
:03:08. > :03:09.Police are talking to the bus company, Stagecoach after a guided
:03:10. > :03:12.bus was involved in a crash in Longstanton last night.
:03:13. > :03:16.Emergency services were called to the busway crossing on Station
:03:17. > :03:18.road following a collision with a supermarket delivery van.
:03:19. > :03:23.It's the third time this year there's been an accident
:03:24. > :03:26.A Ukip councillor from Cambridgeshire who came second
:03:27. > :03:28.in the party's leadership election says she won't stand again.
:03:29. > :03:32.Lisa Duffy, who's a councillor in Ramsey, has told the BBC she'll
:03:33. > :03:35.leave it to others to fight for the leadership of her party.
:03:36. > :03:40.Ms Duffy was beaten by Diane James, who stood down as leader
:03:41. > :03:51.Plans to close six of the main routes into Cambridge at rush hour
:03:52. > :03:54.The Greater Cambridge City Deal was trying to keep traffic
:03:55. > :03:56.out of the city centre, to reduce air pollution
:03:57. > :04:01.The plan led to protests from both commuters and businesses.
:04:02. > :04:05.Tonight, as ever, the evening rush hour in Cambridge was busy.
:04:06. > :04:07.Cars crawling along Hills Road as commuters
:04:08. > :04:12.But part of a plan to ease this congestion is set to be abandoned
:04:13. > :04:21.The plan was to close parts of this road as well
:04:22. > :04:24.as five others in and out of Cambridge to traffic during the
:04:25. > :04:27.morning and evening rush hour, in order to make it easier for bikes
:04:28. > :04:32.The proposals were met with vociferous opposition.
:04:33. > :04:35.Protests were held, and more than 10,000 people
:04:36. > :04:42.And now the council is thinking again.
:04:43. > :04:45.The proposal to put six points at different places was going to
:04:46. > :04:49.restrict traffic to too great an extent,
:04:50. > :04:52.so we get the message from city businesses
:04:53. > :04:53.who are doing deliveries and residents living
:04:54. > :04:57.within the city centre that we have to look again at those proposals
:04:58. > :05:00.and make sure that what we come back with next time is a practical
:05:01. > :05:04.solution to gridlock and bus unreliability.
:05:05. > :05:06.This is an embarrassing U-turn, isn't it?
:05:07. > :05:10.Well, no, it's listening to the public.
:05:11. > :05:12.Three weeks ago, we spoke to Pete Howard
:05:13. > :05:16.a courier firm, who was worried that road closures would affect
:05:17. > :05:20.Given the number of roads and the issues around
:05:21. > :05:23.them, we are having to come in right round
:05:24. > :05:28.When we met up again today he was pleased that the council
:05:29. > :05:35.I won't take it as written in stone until it
:05:36. > :05:40.But, yeah, it is a very positive reaction and it shows
:05:41. > :05:45.10,000 people on a petition, many business owners.
:05:46. > :05:47.It is good they are paying attention.
:05:48. > :05:50.Councillors still plan to go ahead with other parts of the City Deal,
:05:51. > :05:56.including introducing a tax on parking at offices
:05:57. > :06:01.and redesigning roads to make them better for bikes and buses.
:06:02. > :06:04.But, for the time being at least, traffic will be allowed to
:06:05. > :06:14.crawl along some of the city's busiest roads.
:06:15. > :06:16.It's been announced Raine Spencer, the stepmother of Diana,
:06:17. > :06:21.Princess of Wales, has died aged 87 after a short illness.
:06:22. > :06:28.Raine moved into the Althorp estate near Northampton after she married
:06:29. > :06:30.Diana's father, Earl Spencer, in 1976.

:07:10. > :07:15.much of the day should be dry. Highs of 13 or 14. On Sunday mist and fog
:07:16. > :07:18.will be more extensive and it could be locally dense and cause
:07:19. > :07:21.disruption to channel -- travel first thing. It will eventually

:07:43. > :07:45.Good evening. Heading off to bed wondering what is in store for the
:07:46. > :07:49.weekend? Pretty much what we have seen this week. Today we had a fair
:07:50. > :07:53.amount of cloud around and a few showers coming in off the North Sea
:07:54. > :07:57.coast. Topping and tailing the country, there was some beautiful
:07:58. > :07:59.spells of sunshine. It was glorious in the Shetland aisles this
:08:00. > :08:08.afternoon and down towards Cornwall as well. As for the weekend, it
:08:09. > :08:10.could start off on a chilly note with some patchy fog and frost, but
:08:11. > :08:13.then hopefully we should see some sunny spells coming through. The
:08:14. > :08:17.showers always likely to be out towards the east. The showers
:08:18. > :08:20.continuing this evening and overnight. Further west under
:08:21. > :08:24.clearer skies yet again, we could see the temperatures falling away
:08:25. > :08:25.and we could see some patchy fog which may well be
