In tonight's programme, killed in her car by a lorry driver

Jodie Moss from Swindon had broken down on the A34

but Dariusz Tokarczyk didn't see her.

Also, an appeal on Crimewatch after the death of a 64-year-old

Why parents of children with mental health problems often

A lorry driver from Yorkshire has been sentenced to four and a half

years in prison today, after admitting causing death

by dangerous driving on the A34 last March.

Dariusz Tokarczyk was driving on the southbound carriageway

of the A34 near the M4 junction when his lorry collided

with a broken-down car, killing the 21-year-old sitting inside.

Tokarczyk failed to see the car's flashing hazard

lights because he was using his mobile phone.

Jeremy Stern was in Reading Crown Court today.

This footage was taken from the lorry driven by Dariusz Tokarczyk on

the A34 near Chieveley in March last year. Ahead is a Vauxhall Corsa

driven by Jodie Moss. A 21-year-old from Swindon. She put the hazard

lights on because of engine problems. The lorry didn't slow down

as it neared her car. Redding Crown Court heard 47-year-old Tokarczyk,

who was from Yorkshire, was using a hand-held device, probably a mobile

phone, too to change his music. Speaking through an interpreter, he

admitted causing death by dangerous driving. Her family said she died

after some of the happiest months of her life. They condemned the lorry

driver. She was a happy student who love nature, was very caring of

others. She was taken from us too early by a very selfish ten second

act. The driver had time to see her hazard lights. The damage caused

continues to be immeasurable and we will never forget all the pleasure

she gave us. Sentencing Tokarczyk, the judge said he had taken a

cavalier attitude to using a mobile phone while driving. She said, you

did not react to the stationary vehicle until it was too late. She

also described him as a responsible, reckless and thoughtless. He was

sentenced to four and a half years in prison and he was banned from

driving for 51 months. Detectives investigating the murder

of a woman from Milton Keynes are due to release new CCTV images

on the BBC's Crimewatch Hang Lin Leung died 11 days

after she was attacked at home during a burglary

at the end of January. Police are searching for six men

involved in the break-in. A former police officer,

wife and mother. 64-year-old Hang Lin Leung left

Hong Kong in the early '90s and settled here,

in Milton Keynes, where she ran a Chinese takeaway

business with her husband. At around six o'clock on 31st

January she was home alone When she went to answer it,

the man and five others forced their way into her home,

before stealing cash Mrs Leung was pinned down

while they ransacked the house. Police released this image to show

the extent of the damage. The next day, still traumatised,

Mrs Leung was taken She died from her injuries 11

days after the ordeal. For me, when I think of burglary,

I think of someone stealing material possessions,

money, objects, things But for my family, this burglary has

meant we had a life taken from us. Police are trying to track down

several personal items, including this gold Rolex Oyster

watch and Mrs Leung's long-service Detectives have described this

as a despicable crime on a frail Some of her neighbours have

spoken to me off camera and expressed their shock

and sadness at what happened in Detectives are particularly keen

to speak to anyone who saw six men acting suspiciously in a car

travelling between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury on the evening

of Tuesday 31st January. Also on BBC's Crimewatch tonight,

Wiltshire detectives will reveal new evidence

in the Sally Ann John Sally Ann was 23 years

old when she disappeared She was a sex worker in the

Manchester Road area of the town. Her disappearance sparked a huge

police investigation, and tonight's episode features

a new line of inquiry - a postcard allegedly sent

by Sally Ann shortly Crimewatch is on at 9pm

on BBC One tonight. Every major town in Oxfordshire

will be connected by cycle paths if plans costing

?120 million win support. The Oxfordshire Cycling Network has

launched its vision for 366 The group says the interconnecting

paths would have enormous benefits for people's health and the local

road network, and would rival routes in places

like the Netherlands and Denmark. There's a lot of painted cycle lanes

but they're often right at the edge Wiltshire Police has had

to apologise for releasing figures suggesting that crimes against women

in the county had gone up The actual increase is just over

100%, but the mistake only came to light after the original figures

were used by the Liberal Democrats in an election newsletter

and the party was accused of scaremongering by

the Conservative Police Earlier I spoke to our political

editor Peter Henley to find In this era of fake news, we are

checking things much more carefully. This starts with an election leaflet

from the Lib Dems, crime shock, crimes against women in Wiltshire

are 500% up. The creator of the leaflet tried to say, I don't get

involved in politics. I've tried to serve the people of Wiltshire. The

500% figure is wrong and doesn't do justice to the work of Yorkshire

Police. Which would be all very well except the figure came from the

police, from a superintendent, to be exact, from an article, where she

said the increase is down to women having more confidence to report

crimes. They both can't be right, though? Yes. It seems the error came

from the police, who had the starting figures for the first three

months of year rather than the whole year and they have apologised for

that. They say, we would like to apologise the newspapers, which is

why they put out the error, as a result of our incorrect information.

But the confidence of victims is said to be key. Alarmist articles

and political newsletters will not help. The Lib Dems say this is

outrageous. Somebody should have looked at it and either said, my

goodness, that's wrong, we need some help, but nobody did I do, so it

suggests the commissioner isn't familiar for the crime figures in

his area, which is frightening. We asked him for interview but he

didn't want to give one. He put out a third statement saying he stood by

the word alarmist with regard to what the Lib Dems were saying,

saying there was no reassurance or mitigation in the leaflet they had

been putting through the door. I suppose you could say this is the

usual source of politics but now that some politicians are talking

about fake news, we have to be a lot more careful about what comes

through your door! Calls are growing for one of

the main routes in and out of Oxford It's after a nine-year-old boy

was injured at a crossing Our political reporter

Bethan Phillips has the story. The centre of Oxford's been

a 20mph zone since 2009. But start to head out of the city

and you get to Botley Road, a long, straight road that campaigners say

many motorists are They say something needs to be done

about road safety here. Enough is enough. There's a lot of

accidents along here, near misses, and everybody reports those on a

daily basis. And people are scared on this road.

Since an accident involving a nine-year-old boy on the road last

month, calls are growing for the speed limit to be reduced.

It's a campaign being supported by Tom Imre, who runs

I myself have been a witness to many, many near misses on various

crossings on this road. Literally milli seconds, cars passing on the

red light, mainly. Hundreds have now signed

a petition calling for But there is skepticism from some

motoring groups about whether or not 20 mile an hour limits can work in

some places in some circumstances, but if the problem is that people

are already breaking a 30 mile an hour speed limit, there's no reason

to start to think they will obey a 20 mile an hour limit. If the

problem is they drive through red traffic lights and disobey

pedestrian crossings and things, changing the speed limit is unlikely

to affect that behaviour. Oxfordshire County Council says it's

received the petition and is looking Now more of today's

stories with Sally Taylor. Sheltering the homeless

on the island. The bus idea that's now

being rolled out elsewhere. Many parents of children

with mental health problems are not asking for help,

because they feel blamed Researchers at Reading University,

who've highlighted the seriousness of the issue, say more needs to be

done to remove the stigma parents feel, so more youngsters

get the help they need. Nikki Mitchell has been finding out

more about the difficulties some When I tried to get

to sleep, I always thought somebody was going to come

in and murder me. Luke's years of extreme

anxiety exhausted and upset his family just as

much as it did him. When I was worried I just thought

of bad stuff and I couldn't I was fine at school but just

when I had to go to sleep, I just felt like something

was going to happen That could go on in till two

or three o'clock in the morning and it just made this

spiral of awful effects with his tiredness the next day,

our own tiredness the next day. It was a volcano just

bubbling the whole time. Many parents in her

situation feel a sense of hopelessness and guilt but

researchers at Reading University have found it is a fear

of being blamed which stops There is quite a lot

of work surrounding stigma associated with mental health

but what this work does is highlight the stigma specifically

for parents and the blame the parents can feel for having a child

with mental health difficulties. Both blame that they put on

themselves but also they are seeing other people blaming them

for their child's problems. I blamed myself because

I had a child that, My job as a parent is

to make sure my child For some parents that

can put them off seeking help and make it harder

for them to seek help and perhaps wait until problems have got worse

and really at crisis point I was so lucky, I had

the family support, I had my family telling me, you are not a bad

parent, you are great. But if you haven't got someone

there to tell you then you need Then you are going to be in a better

place and you are going to be in a better place

to help your child With help from children

and adolescent and mental health services, Luke has now overcome

much in his anxiety. But frustratingly the waiting

list is an extremely long one, two to three

years for many families. Hampshire County Council has today

decided to press ahead with plans Although there'll now

be a further four week consultation, it looks likely

Fort Hill Community School will close at the end

of the academic year to join forces with Cranborne Business

and Enterprise College. Let's get more from Jo Kent who's

at Fort Hill school tonight, Jo, Yes, any big decision affecting

a child's education is going What we're talking about here

is a decision to effectively close this school, a school parents

were fighting to protect. They put forward arguments

as to why it should stay open but the decision went against them

leading to some angry outbursts. You didn't tell the community before

that the school was going to close. You didn't tell us, if you had told

us before we could have The parents I spoke to said

they felt they hadn't been listened They're devastated and worried

about their children. I can honestly say I've got too well

performing children at that school and it is really, really sad

that they now are going to face She feels that because of the

decisions made by an organisation in Winchester her education has now

been, in her words, screwed up. Like so many things it

comes down to money. The schools watchdog Ofsted said

Fort Hill requires improvement, For this September the council says

the school received only 38 first Schools funding is worked

out on pupil numbers, to keep it open even for another

year as the parents had asked would result in a defecit

of half a million pounds. Meanwhile Cranborne also has

surplus places but it's on a bigger site so pupils

from here could be The council said it looked at other

options but at the end of the day that funding shortfall is something

it simply can't afford. It was difficult to assess certain

aspects of the consultation. They kept coming back to the same thing,

how can we make the school viable and give the quality curriculum we

want in Fort Hill for the next school year honours? Nobody came up

with an answer. Well there's another four week

consultation period. The council says it will

consider viable options which must only mean some sort

of outside funding. The parents say they'll fight

on to save this school. Next an update on a story you may

remember from before Christmas. Kevin Newton, himself

a former rough sleeper, wanted to do something to help

the homeless on the Isle of Wight. So he converted a double decker bus

into a night shelter. Four months on, it's

so successful more buses Inside Out's Jon Cuthill has

been finding out more. Kevin Newton is providing shelter

for homeless people with nowhere There is no excuse for

anybody being hungry. The bus will always be

needed because there are people who lose their jobs,

they lose where they're living, there are people whose relationships

will break up. So far, he has had 22 people on

board and managed to get 11 of them When they first come,

people arrive at the bus with A young lady came along and insisted

to take me out and buy She bought me a lovely

pair of boots which are A lot better than the

shoes I was wearing. Until three years ago,

Jonathan was a successful Due to depression, alcoholism

and divorce, he found himself I had a beautiful five bedroom home

overlooking the Solent. Now, five more buses

are being launched on the They have just been donated a bus

and should be up and running around It is just a great idea

and it is a really cheap solution It provides safety and shelter

and food and support. It will help people

back into society Following the success

on the Isle of Wight, Kevin's plan is to have a bus

in every major city in the UK within You can see more on this story

on Inside Out tonight On to sport now. Some interesting

talking going on about seven developments at Portsmouth.

Portsmouth say they have a robust process in place to deal with any

potential offers of investment the club issued a statement this

afternoon after reports emerged that former Walt Disney boss

Michael Eisner had been linked with buying the club.

South Today understands Eisner has been actively pursuing football

interests for several months though his Tornante investment firm.

Among other clubs under consideration was Reading but more

recently it's thought Portsmouth has been on his radar.

Any takeover would have to be approved by shareholders.

Bournemouth's second consecutive premier league win has put the club

on course for a third season in the top flight

The stage was set under the lights on Saturday night

Benik Afobe's deflected shot put them into the lead at the break,

Alfie Mawson credited with an own goal.

No one could deny Afobe a second to seal the three points

so after seven points from nine, what's changed?

I don't think anything's turned around.

I think the players stuck with it and didn't get too low and

didn't get negative, managed to ride out a mini period

where we weren't getting things as we wanted them to.

That meant the result has always been key.

The manager has been talking to us and

saying we need to look for that and get that back-to-back wins

We've got a good momentum and hopefully that can

continue until the end of the season.

Reading had a big win in the championship on Friday

night, so here's the rest of the weekend's talking points.

With Huddersfield losing and Newcastle drawing, Brighton could

have gone back to the top of the Championship if they had won at

Garry Monk's side are promotion contenders to.

They had much of the better of this game.

A familiar face would return to haunt the Albion.

Chris Wood starred on loan in their league promotion he put

With five minutes to play come Albion gave away a spot kick and

The gap to third is still six points.

Southampton couldn't quite recover from conceding twice in the opening

45 minutes of their game at White Hart Lane.

Christian Eriksen's low driver beating Forster.

A sterling second hole saw them pull one back. And equaliser was beyond

them. Portsmouth remain third but they had a date against Stevenage

and lost 3-0. It was 2-0 by half-time and Paul Cook's three-man

defence was found wanting. They Portsmouth were down to ten men by

the time they got this spot kick. Congratulations tonight

to the Thomas Hardye Their Under-15's reached

the National Schools Cup Vase They beat Bridgewater High School

48-5 this weekend. An incredible second half

performance saw Thomas Hardye score They'll now meet dr

Challoner's School from Team Solent's women's

basketball team secured The Hampshire team needed a win

from this weekend's game to be sure of the title,

and defeated Bristol Storm Meanwhile Reading Rockets long

unbeaten run in the men's national league came to an end

as they suffered defeats at new league champions Northumbria

and yesterday against Loughborough, A win on Saturday and they'll

guarantee runners up spot. Worthing Thunder are safe from

the drop after beating Westminster. Can playing 'light games' with make

believe bubbles and flowers help Well, a group of care home residents

from the Isle of Wight have They've been using a device that

projects interactive images onto a table top

to help people communicate Our Health Correspondent David

Fenton has been along to find out. There are many things that people

with dementia can't do. But they can do this. And this. And this. These

projected images are part game and part therapy. The clever thing is,

they move when you touch them. There is an infrared sensor that allows

people playing with the games to move the right. As it might it is a

safe environment. The projector is attached to a ceiling. It promotes

independent activity which is difficult to achieve with people

with late stage dementia. These care home residents have problems with

memory and communicating. But within minutes of sitting down, they were

laughingly talking enjoying themselves. They are engaging. He

can see the laughter. Social stimulation side of it. I'd better

keep quiet! I have been here for about an hour

and they are still playing the games. Some of them are getting

quite competitive. This is about more than just having fun. I think

it is so important to live well with dementia. What tends to happen is we

assume it can't be done but actually it can be dead if we know how to do

it and this is one of the tools we can use to help others.

This event was held at a local church but the device is finding its

way into care homes and NHS hospitals. It is a simple idea but

it makes people smile and it seems to work.

That is such a good idea. Sam Fraser is here where theirs this Monday.

Let's look ahead to the weather. These sheep in Askerswell

are wondering where spring went. The winds were good news for these

windsurfers in Mudeford. And the skies frowned over

the River Dunn in Hungerford, It is the spring equinox but things

didn't feel springlike today. These guys were leaden and we had some

rain. Let's look at the weather for the week ahead. It is a real mixed

bag. We will start to draw in some cold polar air so it will be chilly.

We will see spells of rain but the winds should ease from midweek.

Tonight is a chilly affair. Lowes dropping to two Celsius. That means

that tomorrow will dawn bright but chilly and breezy as well. Some good

spells of sunshine across the sunshine pity we'll see showers

moving in fairly quickly and though showers could fall as hail, perhaps

accompanied by thunder. Anything is possible. Nine Celsius is our top

temperature. It will feel colder than that in the winter. Tomorrow

evening, further showers make their way in ahead of an organised band of

rain. Under the cloudy skies, temperatures a little bit warmer,

perhaps six Celsius. Looking at Wednesday morning, the remnants of

that rain starts to make its way east so though should clear by the

afternoon and we will see is a bright or sunny spells developing

for most places. The odd shower knocking around. Highs of nine

Celsius but the wind will have dropped. Looking ahead to Thursday,

the area of low pressure as over northern France means we could see

some more rain for Southern counties as you go through the day. Some

bright spells as well and that is how the story continues as we head

into Friday. Some cloudy skies with breaks in the cloud. Temperatures

just creeping up to 10 Celsius. A little bit of rain around. As we

head into the weekend, it is an improving picture. If you've got

Mothering Sunday plans it will be good. Some sentient, chilly by night

and temperatures on I have been told it is international

happiness day-to-day. How did we do? We will leave you smiling. We will

be back at eight o'clock. Good night.

The 24-year-old man has been charged with murder.

You made sure an innocent man is charged!

What gives you the right to say that he's innocent?

If police wrongdoing is part of this, I want to know.
