:00:14. > :00:17.Their families were in Didcot for a minute's silence,
:00:18. > :00:21.Also: As police say they need more time to search
:00:22. > :00:23.Christopher Halliwell's former home, the mother of one of
:00:24. > :00:25.victims says she believes he could have killed others.
:00:26. > :00:27.Andd the flawed automated parking system that's ended up
:00:28. > :00:34.costing a council more than a million pounds.
:00:35. > :00:45.It's a year today that four men died when part of Didcot Power Station
:00:46. > :00:47.collapsed, as they were preparing it for demolition.
:00:48. > :00:49.The families of Ken Cresswell, John Shaw, Michael Collings,
:00:50. > :00:51.and Christopher Huxtable have been back to the town to
:00:52. > :00:53.pay tribute to them and to attend a minute's silence.
:00:54. > :00:56.The investigation into what caused the collapse is ongoing.
:00:57. > :01:12.A minute's silence was held at four o'clock.
:01:13. > :01:17.Exactly a year after a huge part of the architectural icon for which
:01:18. > :01:19.Didcot is so famous crashed to the ground.
:01:20. > :01:22.The tragedy claimed the lives of four men working there and
:01:23. > :01:27.Their relatives stood side by side with

:01:30. > :01:31.Memories of the day will be hard to shake off after
:01:32. > :01:35.a year and we are reminded of that daily by the trucks that come up
:01:36. > :01:38.with the rubble and the steel that comes out through the gates.
:01:39. > :01:40.We are never far away from that and I still
:01:41. > :01:49.I think the town will remember it forever.
:01:50. > :01:51.It is a sad thing, more than before, but a
:01:52. > :01:59.Earlier in the afternoon, as strong winds howled
:02:00. > :02:01.across the piles of twisted debris, the relatives had gathered together
:02:02. > :02:05.They laid flowers by a memorial bench.
:02:06. > :02:08.They showed tremendous dignity throughout.
:02:09. > :02:10.It is essential that lessons are learned
:02:11. > :02:13.from this terrible accident so no family should have to go through
:02:14. > :02:23.While Michael Collings's body was found on the night of the collapse,
:02:24. > :02:26.it was well over six months before the bodies of Christopher Huxtable,
:02:27. > :02:28.Ken Cresswell and John Shaw were eventually
:02:29. > :02:29.located and returned to
:02:30. > :02:38.made to wait too long for information.
:02:39. > :02:41.To have been a victim of something so horrific as that,
:02:42. > :02:44.you have lost your husband and then to have to fight
:02:45. > :02:50.Just last month, I had to write to try to get information about
:02:51. > :02:54.Suddenly, all that came back with was that
:02:55. > :02:59.In a joint statement today, the Health and Safety
:03:00. > :03:03.Executive say they are entirely committed to uncovering why this
:03:04. > :03:05.tragedy happened and they will seek justice for those affected, should
:03:06. > :03:11.any wrongdoing be found to have taken place.
:03:12. > :03:13.It is likely though that more anniversaries will pass
:03:14. > :03:15.before the families of the men who died here
:03:16. > :03:17.will get the answers they
:03:18. > :03:24.Her daughter was murdered by Christopher Halliwell.
:03:25. > :03:26.Now Sian O'Callaghan's mother says she believes there
:03:27. > :03:30.Elaine Pickford was speaking as police announced they'll need
:03:31. > :03:32.more time to continue their forensic search of Halliwell's
:03:33. > :03:36.He'll spend the rest of his life in jail
:03:37. > :03:47.The police search at the back of these Swindon houses goes on.
:03:48. > :03:52.A former home of Christopher Halliwell, the sounds of
:03:53. > :03:55.a mechanical digger echoing around the terraced streets.
:03:56. > :03:59.Elaine Pickford's daughter Sian was his
:04:00. > :04:05.The question now, are there the others lying somewhere
:04:06. > :04:13.I personally believe that with his psychopathic nature and being a
:04:14. > :04:21.pathological liar that he would have slipped from everyday life and then
:04:22. > :04:24.whatever his trigger was, would be capable to go out and do
:04:25. > :04:29.what he has done to not only Sian, but to Becky and
:04:30. > :04:38.Swindon taxi driver Christopher Halliwell is serving a
:04:39. > :04:41.He killed Becky Godden in 2003 and Shannon Cocking
:04:42. > :04:44.eight years later, but her mother believes it is likely there are
:04:45. > :05:14.He is currently serving a life sentence. The victim's mother has
:05:15. > :05:18.studied the killer and it is likely he committed the offences.
:05:19. > :05:20.Personally I believe once he would have got to that
:05:21. > :05:23.level, been able to commit that sort of crime and given his nature and
:05:24. > :05:27.history, and his unnatural urges and sexuality,
:05:28. > :05:28.I think he wouldn't have
:05:29. > :05:35.been able to have contain himself for those eight years.
:05:36. > :05:40.Halliwell appeared to try to make a plea bargain during
:05:41. > :05:44.If I confess, he said, will that stop
:05:45. > :05:49.Police say they are digging here on intelligence they
:05:50. > :05:56.So far they haven't said what, if anything, they found.
:05:57. > :05:57.Storm Doris has been causing disruption,
:05:58. > :06:00.with gusts of more than 60 miles an hour in our region.
:06:01. > :06:03.More than 40 trees or branches have come down in Oxfordshire alone.
:06:04. > :06:05.Fences have given way, bins have been blown
:06:06. > :06:07.across the streets and there've been power cuts.
:06:08. > :06:10.Meanwhile, in Oxford city centre, Park End Street was closed
:06:11. > :06:17.while firefighters dealt with a roof that had become loose.
:06:18. > :06:19.An inquest has heard that 10-year-old boy died after a queue
:06:20. > :06:23.barrier fell on him at Topshop in Reading, causing him
:06:24. > :06:27.Kaden Reddick was shopping with his mother, siblings
:06:28. > :06:30.and grandmother at the store in the Oracle Shopping Centre
:06:31. > :06:34.Police say it happened as his mother was paying at the till.
:06:35. > :06:36.Topshop has removed all display stands at tills
:06:37. > :06:44.It was designed to make parking easier for motorists and save
:06:45. > :06:52.But instead, a camera-operated system installed in some car parks
:06:53. > :06:55.in Buckinghamshire has ended up costing more than a million pounds.
:06:56. > :06:57.Since Automatic Number Plate Recognition was
:06:58. > :06:59.introduced three years ago, not a single penny in fines
:07:00. > :07:03.What's more, town hall bosses knew the system didn't comply
:07:04. > :07:15.At the Swan car park in Whickham, ANPR records every car registration.
:07:16. > :07:18.Before leaving, drivers should enter their registration and pay, but
:07:19. > :07:21.there are no barriers and some drive off without paying.
:07:22. > :07:26.The council says it installed ANPR in 20 car parks
:07:27. > :07:35.after it was reassured by the DVLA that it would be able to get details
:07:36. > :07:39.But that is illegal and no fines have
:07:40. > :07:42.The Government said it told you three years ago that she
:07:43. > :07:46.would not be able to collect fines from the system get the data.
:07:47. > :07:48.So why did you go ahead and bring it in?
:07:49. > :07:51.We took external legal advice to make
:07:52. > :07:53.sure the way we were using it was lawful,
:07:54. > :07:57.and they were of the opinion that it was and we also had
:07:58. > :08:00.conversations with the DVLA as to the best way to roll it out and if
:08:01. > :08:06.we could roll it out and they said they could not see any reason why we
:08:07. > :08:10.But the DVLA said they didn't give the council
:08:11. > :08:13.any assurances about releasing data and added that it would have been
:08:14. > :08:16.So far, ANPR has cost the council nearly
:08:17. > :08:18.?700,000 to install, almost ?150,000 to upgrade
:08:19. > :08:20.machines and signs and an
:08:21. > :08:25.estimated ?287,000 in the unrecovered fines.
:08:26. > :08:27.Critics say in total, more than ?1 million of taxpayer's money
:08:28. > :08:34.Wasting over nearly one half million pounds of
:08:35. > :08:36.the money of taxpayers is inexcusable, really.
:08:37. > :08:39.We don't get elected just to drink cups of tea
:08:40. > :08:41.and attend meetings, we are there for policy-making.
:08:42. > :08:43.We're there to look after the money of the
:08:44. > :08:46.taxpayers and see it is spent wisely.
:08:47. > :08:48.Well, on Saturday, the council here is going
:08:49. > :08:50.to start changing 18 of its
:08:51. > :08:52.car parks from ANPR back to pay and display.
:08:53. > :08:56.But it says it is going to keep these new machines in place in
:08:57. > :08:59.case the law changes in the future and it can start using them again.
:09:00. > :09:02.At a council meeting tonight, this councillor says
:09:03. > :09:03.he will be accusing the
:09:04. > :09:11.authority of gross incompetence and he will be calling for resignations.
:09:12. > :09:14.The actor George Cole's camel coat and trilby from the ITV series
:09:15. > :09:26.The distinctive coat and hat were regularly worn
:09:27. > :09:29.by Cole's character Arthur Daley in the show that ran for 15 years.
:09:30. > :09:33.We're back in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning, but for now goodnight.
:09:34. > :09:45.It will be chillier than previous nights tonight and there will be
:09:46. > :09:51.scenes like this tomorrow. With clear spells there some isolated
:09:52. > :09:53.showers here and there. The showers are few and far between and
:09:54. > :10:00.temperatures in the countryside may fall to around one Celsius. The
:10:01. > :10:06.breeze will gradually ease off during the night with storm Doris
:10:07. > :10:11.moving towards the North Sea. A dryer and a bright start tomorrow.
:10:12. > :10:16.Mainly dry with the odd isolated shower. Winds a lot lighter than
:10:17. > :10:21.today. Cloud will fill in during the afternoon turning the sunshine hazy
:10:22. > :10:27.and temperatures will reach 7-8 C. A pleasant day, feeling cooler. The
:10:28. > :10:32.mild air will make a return through tomorrow night and into Saturday,
:10:33. > :10:36.following this weather fronts. Tomorrow night, patchy rain.
:10:37. > :10:41.Saturday should be mainly dry through daylight until this weather
:10:42. > :10:47.front arrives on Saturday evening and into Sunday. Saturday, a breezy
:10:48. > :10:51.day. Rain pushing in on Saturday night and clearing first in Sunday
:10:52. > :10:56.morning. As we look ahead to the rest of the week and the weekend, a
:10:57. > :11:01.lovely sunny day tomorrow. Cloudy in the afternoon and the winds will be
:11:02. > :11:03.lighter. Colder than recently with a high of 7-8 C. Kathy
:11:04. > :11:12.be much milder. I will leave you with Thomas Shelter.
:11:13. > :11:20.Good evening. It was quite a day for some of us. We get these sort of
:11:21. > :11:23.storms every couple of years also. Difficult to give an exact number,
:11:24. > :11:29.but it was certainly a nasty one. It's now moving into Holland,
:11:30. > :11:35.Germany, south of Denmark, and it continues to blow itself out. The
:11:36. > :11:38.winds around coasts were not particularly spectacular, but the
:11:39. > :11:44.inland winds were unusual, 62 mph in London. A trail of damage across the
