:00:12. > :00:16.boyfriend 's killer. The meeting between a woman from Swindon and the
:00:17. > :00:21.man whose careless driving on the A34 led to her boyfriend losing his
:00:22. > :00:25.life. I want to know how he's feeling now, how it might affect
:00:26. > :00:32.him. To let him know how I'm feeling, how carbon's family are
:00:33. > :00:37.feeling. We will also assess it the A34 is one of the region 's most
:00:38. > :00:41.dangerous roads. The parishes in Oxfordshire putting up council tax
:00:42. > :00:46.anger in some campaigners. Later, a full round-up of the
:00:47. > :00:55.football results including wins for Oxford United, MK Dons and Swindon.
:00:56. > :00:59.These are the faces of people who have died in car
:01:00. > :01:02.crashes in the south - all of them victims of motorists
:01:03. > :01:06.This week, a new law comes into force which will double
:01:07. > :01:14.Well, one teacher here in the south is calling for schoolchildren to be
:01:15. > :01:18.taught about the dangers of using mobile phones at the wheel.
:01:19. > :01:28.She has her own personal reasons for wanting to change the culture.
:01:29. > :01:30.Gavin was an Australian through and through.
:01:31. > :01:36.We'd talked about holidays potentially going out
:01:37. > :01:47.It was something we were both really looking forward to.
:01:48. > :01:50.He was on his way to work and then he was about 6 miles
:01:51. > :01:58.or so from work and then just didn't make it.
:01:59. > :02:01.Lewis Stratford - a 24-year-old painter and decorator
:02:02. > :02:03.from Oxford was driving - and arguing with his
:02:04. > :02:06.girlfriend on the phone - when he crashed into Gavin's
:02:07. > :02:11.I wish I could turn back time, change obviously
:02:12. > :02:21.And from that moment I was just blaming everything on me.
:02:22. > :02:24.And I didn't want to get better then, I didn't want the physio,
:02:25. > :02:28.I didn't want the treatments, I feel like I've been kept
:02:29. > :02:35.here to pay for the mistake that I've made and punished.
:02:36. > :02:38.Gavin died of his injuries four days after
:02:39. > :02:42.Lewis has already pleaded guilty to causing his death
:02:43. > :02:50.When someone gets convicted of a crime or an offence you never
:02:51. > :02:54.get to see what that person's like and what
:02:55. > :03:06.Just days before he's due back in court to be sentenced,
:03:07. > :03:13.I want to ask what he was thinking, what possessed him to pick
:03:14. > :03:16.up his mobile phone behind the wheel - I want to know
:03:17. > :03:22.how it might affect him and to let him know how I'm
:03:23. > :03:30.with our cameras present, and restorative justice
:03:31. > :03:38.An apology that's given in court is very often mistrusted
:03:39. > :03:44.by a victim whereas if a victim sits down face to face with the person
:03:45. > :03:49.who has caused the harm that can be enormously helpful in allowing
:03:50. > :03:56.victims then to be able to move on from what's happened.
:03:57. > :03:59.I'll never forget it ever and I'll never be sorry enough
:04:00. > :04:02.but I can't every time I say sorry it sounds a bit cheap,
:04:03. > :04:08.it just sounds not good enough but I am.
:04:09. > :04:25.so many people do it, so many people.
:04:26. > :04:45.Eventually I will probably be able to forgive you. But I just needed
:04:46. > :04:47.some questions answering first. about the dangers of using mobiles
:04:48. > :04:53.behind the wheel before they start And a short time ago, I spoke to Meg
:04:54. > :05:02.from our studio in London. I asked her if the meeting had
:05:03. > :05:04.helped give her some I think it has helped put
:05:05. > :05:10.the hows and whys together. The ifs and buts we had in June
:05:11. > :05:15.were irrelevant when I met with Lewis and he was very open
:05:16. > :05:20.with me and answered what I needed. It must have been incredibly
:05:21. > :05:25.difficult to come face-to-face with the person who killed
:05:26. > :05:28.your boyfriend. What was that initial feeling,
:05:29. > :05:31.being in the room with him? The initial anxiety came before
:05:32. > :05:35.I went into the room just because I didn't know
:05:36. > :05:37.how I would be feeling, how he would be feeling,
:05:38. > :05:40.how the conversation would get started, but actually
:05:41. > :05:43.when we started to talk and we had the mediator
:05:44. > :05:45.to There was a sense of
:05:46. > :05:52.determination, I guess, from both of us to get this message
:05:53. > :05:56.out to people to show the impact of using your mobile phone can
:05:57. > :05:59.have behind the wheel. Did he have genuine remorse,
:06:00. > :06:02.did you get a sense of him being He said sorry and he
:06:03. > :06:07.showed his compassion and I offered him some
:06:08. > :06:10.of mine as well but he said that it
:06:11. > :06:13.wasn't about him because he's put people through so much
:06:14. > :06:16.so yes, there was a sense of compassion there
:06:17. > :06:18.but You mentioned in the interview you
:06:19. > :06:25.wanted to forgive him eventually. Do you think there will
:06:26. > :06:28.ever be a point in your At the end of the day, he's
:06:29. > :06:36.a human being and he made a very silly mistake,
:06:37. > :06:38.picking up his mobile phone, and he's now got
:06:39. > :06:40.to live with the consequences
:06:41. > :06:43.of it so in time I would You're now calling for
:06:44. > :06:47.schoolchildren to learn Do you think that will be
:06:48. > :06:52.a big benefit in the The fact we teach about sex
:06:53. > :06:58.education, we teach about drugs, alcoholism, all before the legal age
:06:59. > :07:02.anyway so it is an introduction within personal development days,
:07:03. > :07:06.having children aware to know the impact of mobile phone
:07:07. > :07:12.use is going to rub off And you can see the full meeting
:07:13. > :07:22.between Meg and Gavin - on Inside Out, tonight at 7:30
:07:23. > :07:26.on BBC One. Meanwhile a report commissioned
:07:27. > :07:30.by BBC South has found that the A34 isn t more dangerous than other
:07:31. > :07:33.roads - despite its reputation and the perception of some living
:07:34. > :07:36.along or regularly using the route. The data has been
:07:37. > :07:43.analysed by experts. Who could forget the terrible crash
:07:44. > :07:49.last year which claimed the lives of In the last five years,
:07:50. > :07:52.the road has been closed 56 times due to accidents
:07:53. > :07:54.in which people have So, is this road
:07:55. > :07:57.unusually dangerous? Obviously, there have been a number
:07:58. > :07:59.of very high profile collisions on this
:08:00. > :08:01.road but when we look at the collision rate compared
:08:02. > :08:03.to other roads of a similar type
:08:04. > :08:06.we actually find it's got Over the last ten years,
:08:07. > :08:14.the number of crashes has gradually reduced, broadly in line
:08:15. > :08:17.with the national trend. Some parts of the route
:08:18. > :08:20.are higher risk than others. The northern and southern
:08:21. > :08:24.ends are worst. This is a complex picture
:08:25. > :08:27.and there are different ways of measuring road safety but the crash
:08:28. > :08:31.rate here on the A34 is around one third less than the national average
:08:32. > :08:38.for this type of road. The crashes here are,
:08:39. > :08:41.mostly, due to driver error, not to the design of
:08:42. > :08:47.the road, or the number of vehicles. Here, just over one vehicle in ten
:08:48. > :08:52.is a lorry so we looked specifically at crashes involving
:08:53. > :08:55.heavy goods vehicles. Over the last ten years,
:08:56. > :08:59.the rate has fluctuated but overall the trend is downwards and it is
:09:00. > :09:04.ahead of the national average. The A34 has seen some
:09:05. > :09:08.truly horrendous crashes but putting all the
:09:09. > :09:10.statistics together, we've found no evidence that the A34
:09:11. > :09:13.is significantly more dangerous than In other news - a prison officer
:09:14. > :09:22.is going to be charged with manslaughter and misconduct
:09:23. > :09:25.in public office, over the death of an inmate in Woodhill
:09:26. > :09:28.prison in Milton Keynes. Joseph Travers will appear before
:09:29. > :09:30.magistrates in April. It follows the death of a prisoner
:09:31. > :09:35.at Woodhill in May 2015. Specialist police officers digging

:09:43. > :09:46.in the gardens and garages of two properties in Broad Street last week
:09:47. > :09:50.but paused over the weekend. Wiltshire Police says this search

:10:19. > :10:21.the university sympathises with their plight and is trying
:10:22. > :10:25.to resolve the situation. What people have to remember

:10:29. > :10:29.in the doorways of the city centre
:10:30. > :10:33.and already we have enough people complaining about how many people
:10:34. > :10:36.in the city centre are sleeping, begging, drinking

:10:57. > :10:58.of local government have Some campaigners aren't
:10:59. > :11:06.happy about it. It's not long before council tax
:11:07. > :11:09.bills will be landing on our mats and if you've got
:11:10. > :11:12.a parish or town council in your area, you might be in for a shock -
:11:13. > :11:17.with some parishes by more than 500% district and county councils

:13:44. > :13:53.A mock hospital room in the offices at Oxford science Park. Cameras with
:13:54. > :13:56.infrared eliminators are measuring breathing and heart rate. The
:13:57. > :14:00.patient is alone in this room but his activity is being monitored from
:14:01. > :14:05.afar. As as there is movement, there is an immediate alert. This is its
:14:06. > :14:09.breathing rate right now, totally contact free and only a digital
:14:10. > :14:16.camera and it is medically graded accuracy. Here is the same, live
:14:17. > :14:19.contact free heart rate so if I put a contact device from a hospital in
:14:20. > :14:25.the room, it would return the same values. But it also looks at the
:14:26. > :14:29.activity in the room and says that the patient is in bed. It is
:14:30. > :14:37.therefore deduced that he is safe. This but the movement. He's going to
:14:38. > :14:41.get out of bed and there you see we have detected it and the vital signs
:14:42. > :14:44.have stopped. The software is attracting global attention because
:14:45. > :14:48.of an increased demand on the care sector. It is of little surprise
:14:49. > :14:54.that hospitals locally have been trialling it. It can be used in
:14:55. > :15:00.multiple locations, starting for example in a hospital, going back
:15:01. > :15:05.into Oxfordshire and testing it both in acute wards, working with the
:15:06. > :15:13.hospital but also to track help Asians recover after operations in
:15:14. > :15:16.John Ruddy hospital. The method by which they measure is the same for
:15:17. > :15:24.everyone but what you get back varies. Babies can get very fast and

:15:30. > :15:33.adult. You can build personalised models wherever this person at this
:15:34. > :15:36.time of day, this is worrying, but this isn't and that is where this
:15:37. > :15:39.technology will go in the future. This innovation looks set to become
:15:40. > :15:46.a major part of the world's health technology.

:16:26. > :16:34.On to sport and there really is the one big subject to talk about. A
:16:35. > :16:40.great day out for Saints fans but not the result they wanted and what
:16:41. > :16:43.about that disallowed goal? We ended a programme on Friday standing here
:16:44. > :16:50.and waving flags because that is what it will be remembered for. A
:16:51. > :16:55.flag that was incorrectly raised for offside, by most people's reckoning.
:16:56. > :17:01.The interpretation of the rule has changed but the current law stands
:17:02. > :17:07.and it brings into question whether football will change with the times

:17:45. > :17:55.and their new star striker a potential Wembley hat trick.
:17:56. > :18:02.Full of praise for their team and frustration for the officials. The
:18:03. > :18:08.ones of this final will take time to heal for the Saints fans. We should
:18:09. > :18:14.be proud. We are gutted, we should have won that game. The march to
:18:15. > :18:22.Wembley began at Saint movies and match these don't come much bigger.
:18:23. > :18:26.Swamped by red and white. 15 days to prepare men they looked fresher
:18:27. > :18:32.what's on Manchester United fans still arguing the gall to any final
:18:33. > :18:38.back in 1976 was offside. Perhaps this was payback. Few believe Ryan
:18:39. > :18:43.Bertrand was interfering with play. You need those decisions to go for
:18:44. > :18:47.you especially any major final, playing against a team of the
:18:48. > :18:52.quality of Manchester United. It would have been massive for us as we
:18:53. > :19:00.got that. A cruel moment ruthlessly exploited by United before the
:19:01. > :19:06.break. Ibrahimovic's goal priceless. When Jesse Lingard made it two, some
:19:07. > :19:10.thought it was all over, but the Saints stamped and they grabbed one
:19:11. > :19:23.back and in a wonderful start to the second half, he would level.
:19:24. > :19:30.Gabbiadini has done it again! The game then came down to two headers,
:19:31. > :19:35.but with wood minutes to play, Ibrahimovic's hit the net, and soon
:19:36. > :19:45.after it was all over. Everyone is very sad. They must be proud of what
:19:46. > :19:51.we has done and we wanted to feel it. I didn't think we were going to
:19:52. > :19:58.get a single goal tonight. You could look at it in a negative way and we
:19:59. > :20:04.were in a cup final! I think we were the better team and the statistics
:20:05. > :20:11.will say that. We put the ball on the net three times and it should
:20:12. > :20:16.have gone to extra time. I really thought we had it at one point and
:20:17. > :20:24.we just needed one more goal. Revenge from 1976 but Saints won't
:20:25. > :20:27.forget this one in a hurry. A lot of the reaction has focused
:20:28. > :20:30.on the goal that wasn't In today's Daily Telegraph former
:20:31. > :20:33.Referee Keith Hackett describes the offside flag as atrocious
:20:34. > :20:36.and goes onto to say "Either way it should have been an easy decision
:20:37. > :20:39.and it is one that officials at this Saints legend Matthew le Tissier
:20:40. > :20:43.kept it short: "disgusting decision" The view from NBC Sports'
