Coming up: The mystery of the body in the woods. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Why a coroner can't conclude how a woman found on fire | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Also: an Oxford firm takes its driverless car | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
technology to the Capital, for the public to test | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
And fresh from winning a national prize - | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
how children's author Kiran Millwood Hargrave | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
The family of a woman whose badly burnt body was found in woodland may | :00:22. | :00:36. | |
Gillian Knock died from smoke inhalation near the Stately Home | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
of Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire last November. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
But the case is far from straightforward. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
At the inquest, a coroner said he was unable to | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
establish if she planned to set herself alight. | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
This photo was taken last November, a few days | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
While she appears to be happy, today's inquest | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
in Beaconsfield heard she was going through | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
A statement from her partner Andy Martin revealed she'd left | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
a note at home saying she couldn't cope and needed some space. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Later on that day, a dog-walker spotted a fire in land | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Fire crews were called, they discovered the 64-year-old's body. | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
A postmortem showed there was soot in Gillian Knock's airways, | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
which means she was breathing when the fire started. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
They also found white spirit on her clothing, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Ms Knock's family and friends said the hearing gave some answers | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
The inquest couldn't explain how one of her legs | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
Also potential witnesses who were seen in the woods that | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
evening have yet to come forward to police. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Police said there were no broken branches or signs of a person | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
being dragged to suggest Ms Knock had been taken | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
In his narrative conclusion, the coroner said the evidence didn't | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
suggest a third party was involved in Gillian Knock's death. | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
But Crispin Butler said he couldn't be sure if | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
it was the result of an intentional act or an accidental one. | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
Five days of strike action have been announced at the BMW plants | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
It's over plans to close the final salary pension scheme. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
The union UNITE says manufacturing of the Mini will be | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
"significantly disrupted" during April and May. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
BMW says it has a number of options on the table to help | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
employees with any changes, and is open to further talks. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
A group of squatters in Oxford are facing eviction from a third | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
location in the city in three months. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
The Open House movement has set up home in a vacant | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Today thet were served with a court order, forcing them to leave. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
They've previously occupied a former car show room | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
in Iffley and a disused power station in Osney. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
They say empty properties should be put to use. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
It seems a shame to leave the building empty when there is an | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Until we can build on the green belt, we can extend, until we | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
wait for some of the laws to be changed or get everybody together to | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
realise that more houses need to be built, then this is going | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
The technolgy is being developed in Oxford | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
Now, members of the public are being given the opportunity | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
to test a driverless vehicle in London. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Around 100 people will travel in a 'prototype' along | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Meet Harry, an automated driverless pod out and about in north | :03:46. | :04:00. | |
Greenwich. Although there are two cyclists in front to warn | :04:01. | :04:01. | |
passers-by. If someone came out and jumped | :04:02. | :04:02. | |
in front of it, it would stop We don't encourage that | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
kind of behaviour, because you obviously cannot beat | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
the laws of physics, art at the same time, we have been testing this | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
vehicle in Greenwich since November last year, and we haven't | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
had any incidents. Moments later, surprise surprise, | :04:16. | :04:27. | |
someone did step in front of it. Yes, the pod stopped. Researchers | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
here are now trying to gauge the public's reaction to driverless | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
vehicles. I use get up and then? Melo yes. The mechanic around here | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
so dense that I think technology is has public got as much chance of | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
avoiding a knock as anything else. But this is only a prototype and new | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
technology can be a bit temperamental. Died. It's died, | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
which is strange.? At one point there was a brief fault with the | :05:03. | :05:03. | |
There are some teething problems then? | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
But we learn from this so that the production | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
vehicles will then be of a much higher standard. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
There are grand plans for driverless pods. Melo we could see this | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
technology opening up areas of Greenwich and other environments | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
like this weapon a future we don't want petrol or diesel vehicles | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
running. This trial runs the weeks and passengers could be charged to | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
use the pods, A woman from Reading wants | :05:31. | :05:31. | |
cinema chains to do more Linda Dean says that many cinemas | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
only show a few subtitled She also says has to wait weeks | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
for new releases to be screened, and sometimes finds that films that | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
were advertised as having One in six people have some | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
form of hearing loss. Linda Dean is a film buff, | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
but because she is deaf, sometimes the first time she can see | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
a new release is when it Not every film is shown | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
with subtitles at the cinema, and you can wait for | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
weeks if they are. I would like to be relaxed | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
about my social life and go spontaneously when I want to go, | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
when I feel comfortable, without having to think, I have to go and | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
watch it on that day at that time, and if I don't go, I'm going to miss | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
it. And I must say, some of that time | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
I've actually been to the cinema at Basingstoke or other | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
locations and I've been told there is a subtitled showing | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
and actually So I've travelled all that way | :06:23. | :06:23. | |
for nothing and that is There's no point in me having | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
a choice, there is no equality, so I do feel like I am | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
discriminated against. Linda is in Newbury | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
with her friend Victoria to see what films they | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
can watch together. There are just a handful with | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
subtitles on this week, out of a No one from this cinema | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
company was available for an interview, but a spokeswoman | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
did tell us that they follow the industry best practice approach | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
to subtitled screening with two performances every week, alongside | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
mornings which are subtitled Could these glasses, | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
shown here at Sony's headquarters in Basingstoke, | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
be the answer? They project subtitles | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
onto the lenses, meaning deaf people can watch any film without having | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
subtitles appear on the screen. Similar technology is already in use | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
in the US and Australia. The UK cinema Association | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
is working hard to find different technical | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
solutions, and glasses, so-called invisible technology, | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
where he subtitles are only visible to the person wearing glasses, | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
is an exciting innovation. Until things change, Linda and some | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
of the 11 million other people with some form of hearing loss have | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
to recreate the experience at home. An awarding-winning Oxford author | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
has been inspiring students Kiran Millwood Hargrave won | :07:51. | :07:53. | |

novel, The Girl of Ink and Stars. The governor kicked his spurs | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
into his horse's side and I heard the unmistakable crack of his whip | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
on the flank of his stallion. Those pale objects | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
were not seeds at all. Extracts from The Girl | :08:15. | :08:18. | |

Kiran Millwood Hargrave's didn't Living in Oxford has just made me | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
so much more ambitious. You walk around | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
and you see all these places that are so important | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
to culture and literature, and it is really the perfect place to have | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
ended up, because we did end up It's just a beautiful place to walk | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
around and get inspiration from. 11 and 12-year-olds | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
at Wheatly Park School took part Studies even showed | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
that people who read regularly just do better | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
in life across the board. Not only are they more | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
emotionally healthy, they also tend to have higher paying jobs, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
have better outcomes across life. If reading really is | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
the magic bullet it seems to be, then of course | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
we are going to do everything we can, and school is I think | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
a really important part of that. A good story is like | :09:11. | :09:13. | |

her second novel is out now, And she's getting married | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
in Oxford later this month. Sarah Farmer is next | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
with the weather forecast. We've had a glorious day | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
with some fine sunny breaks, ? Tonight will be a dry affair with | :09:45. | :10:03. | |
quite a bit of cloud overhead, but one to breaks major see this text is | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
a little below. Most of them though at seven Celsius. Quite a faced up | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
to the day, Edward will have a little more cloud around and we saw | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
today. There will be holes in that cloud and some bright and sunny | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
intervals, and if you do see that sunshine as debited could nudge up a | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
tab above 12 Celsius. Into tomorrow evening, we'll see quite a bit of | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
cloud but generally Thursday night into Friday morning is looking to be | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
a dry affair, with the odd break and again is respond when we do see is | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
clear spells. Was the end of the week, another dry and fine day, | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
you'll be an lucky if you catch a shower, but in the most part some | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
good sunny spells. Temperatures at 1112 Celsius. Through to the end of | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
this week, some fine sunny spells through the day on Saturday, indeed | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
on Sunday to, and temperatures are warming up by | :11:00. | :10:59. | |
or 15. It is sunny towards the weekend and we could see the low 20s | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
by Sunday. Here is Darren with the national weather. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
