says prisoners need mentors to bring down re`offending rates. In a new | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
report, Aitkin, who used to be the MP for South Thanet, says the prison | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
service needs to recruit a network of 15,000 mentors to help offenders. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
The Government has admitted that re`offending rates have bardly | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
changed in a decade. Figures obtained by the BBC show | :02:53. | :02:55. | |

Tenterden was killed when two boats collided on a tributary of the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |

It's the first time Mr Metc`lfe has been back to the country since his | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
wife died. Gillian, a lawyer, was killed when two boats collided on | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
the river. More than six months on, the family is concerned no one will | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
ever be prosecuted. It is vdry frustrating to sit here and not be | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
able to do anything. We just felt we were doing something for her by | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
getting there, we were trying to push to get some justice. Brazilian | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
TV and newspapers picked up on the story and aired their concerns about | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
the time prosecutions were taking. It seems to us they do not really | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
care that much. I don't likd the idea of our boat drivers continuing | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
to be on the river because ht could happen again to anyone else. They | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
were both very irresponsibld. The family say that returning fdlt right | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
and they were able to reflect on the happiness they had shared bdfore the | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
travelling. We were happy btnch and that is some consolation. It was | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
quick and we were together `nd we were happy. Mr Metcalfe hopds his | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
visit will prompt prosecutors to bring the case to court. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |

we can expected to be a mostly dry night with quite a lot of cloud at | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
times. It will be a fairly lild night as well, temperatures down to | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
seven or eight Celsius. For bank holiday Monday, expect quitd a nice | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
dead. There will be a lot of low cloud to start the day but that | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
should break throughout the morning to give decent spells of brhghtness | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
and eventually some sunshind as well. The air is mild and | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
temperatures rise accordingly, all the way up to 17 Celsius perhaps for | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
some spots, which is 63 in Fahrenheit. But watch out for some | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
heavy, thundery showers as we head into the afternoon. More April | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
showers on the way for the rest of the week. Some good spells of | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
sunshine and staying fairly mild throughout. That's all from us. | :05:55. | :06:06. | |
Hello. Well, it was another lovely sunny day across the north of the | :06:07. | :06:13. | |

getting heavy across southern | :06:20. | :06:20. |
