:02:30. > :02:31.I wish I could turn back time, change obviously not
:02:32. > :02:47.And from that moment I was just blaming everything on me.
:02:48. > :02:50.And I didn't want to get better then, I didn't want the physio,
:02:51. > :02:52.I didn't want the treatments, I feel like I've been kept

:03:24. > :03:32.I want to ask what he was thinking, what possessed him to pick

:03:37. > :03:46.now, how it might affect him and to let him know how I'm feeling.
:03:47. > :03:48.Lewis agreed to meet Meg with our cameras present,
:03:49. > :03:52.and restorative justice councillor Helen Leney.
:03:53. > :03:55.An apology that's given in court is very often mistrusted by a victim
:03:56. > :04:04.whereas if a victim sits down face to face with the person who has
:04:05. > :04:06.caused the harm that can be enormously helpful in allowing
:04:07. > :04:15.victims then to be able to move on from what's happened.
:04:16. > :04:18.I'll never forget it ever and I'll never be sorry enough but I can't
:04:19. > :04:22.every time I say sorry it sounds a bit cheap, it just sounds not
:04:23. > :04:49.A little bit, but then so many people do it, so many people.
:04:50. > :04:56.I don't want to hate you for ever, I'm not that type of person.
:04:57. > :05:03.Eventually I will probably be able to forgive you. I just needed some
:05:04. > :05:06.questions answered first. for all schoolchildren to be taught
:05:07. > :05:10.about the dangers of using mobiles behind the wheel before
:05:11. > :05:16.they start learning to drive. Well, a little earlier, I talked
:05:17. > :05:19.to Meg from our London studios. And I started by asking her why
:05:20. > :05:38.she had wanted to have For me, it was about having hows and
:05:39. > :05:43.whys answered. I just needed a few answers to the puzzle and to put the
:05:44. > :05:48.pieces into place. You just said you had a lot of questions. Did he
:05:49. > :05:54.answer those questions? He did and he was very open about it and was
:05:55. > :05:57.able to show his compassion and stated that he didn't want others to
:05:58. > :06:03.feel sorry for him because he knew how much we had been through. How
:06:04. > :06:08.did you feel about meeting Lewis? That he understand why you wanted to
:06:09. > :06:13.meet him? The reason I have done it is to use this filming as a
:06:14. > :06:20.deterrent and to have this as a massive impact on people to stop
:06:21. > :06:24.them from picking up their mobile phone, and on both sides, I think it
:06:25. > :06:29.will really hit home with some people. New laws come out this week
:06:30. > :06:32.on the use of mobile phones while driving and they are supposed to be
:06:33. > :06:40.tougher. Do you think they are tough enough? I am emotionally charged by
:06:41. > :06:46.this but I don't think they are, ?200 and six points to some people
:06:47. > :06:49.as pocket money, so the idea of maybe raising the money and putting
:06:50. > :06:53.them through a diving we are we on this course where they see the
:06:54. > :06:57.impact using a mobile phone can have. We do it with drinking and
:06:58. > :07:03.drugs so why not mobile phones as well? How do you think we should go
:07:04. > :07:08.about changing this culture? The key behind it is education and to start
:07:09. > :07:11.at school, those who are due to a couple of years' time and have the
:07:12. > :07:15.younger generation are weird of the impact using their phones can have
:07:16. > :07:22.and hopefully that will then rub off on older generations. What is your
:07:23. > :07:27.simple message to drivers? Do not pick up the fallen and if it brings,
:07:28. > :07:32.leave it, and it will be there at the end of the journey. You might
:07:33. > :07:34.not make it otherwise and others might not either.
:07:35. > :07:36.And you can see much more from that extraordinary meeting,
:07:37. > :07:40.on Inside Out tonight at 7:30 here on BBC One.
:07:41. > :07:44.Meg's partner, Gavin, died on the A34.
:07:45. > :07:47.The road, which runs from Winchester up into the Thames Valley,
:07:48. > :07:51.seems to have more than its fair share of headlines
:07:52. > :08:00.And is it the fault of the design or the motorists?
:08:01. > :08:02.Our reporter Joe Campbell is near the A34, near Chieveley,
:08:03. > :08:15.As one of the team I am more than familiar with this would both from a
:08:16. > :08:19.motorist and from standing alongside reporting on crashes which have cost
:08:20. > :08:24.lives and change the lives of survivors forever, but is it a
:08:25. > :08:28.dangerous road? The BBC commissioned a team of experts to crunch the
:08:29. > :08:29.numbers and other transport correspondence reports on what they
:08:30. > :08:32.found. Who could forget the terrible crash
:08:33. > :08:35.last year that claimed the lives Tomasz Kroker was choosing music
:08:36. > :08:39.on his mobile phone instead His lorry ploughed
:08:40. > :08:42.into a queue of traffic. A car was crushed to
:08:43. > :08:48.a third of its size. Along with her sons Ethan,
:08:49. > :08:55.who was 13, and 11-year-old Joshua, and her partner's daughter,
:08:56. > :08:59.Amy Goldsmith, who was 11. In the last five years the road has
:09:00. > :09:04.been closed 56 times due to accidents in which people have
:09:05. > :09:09.been injured or killed. So is this road
:09:10. > :09:21.unusually dangerous? There have been a number of
:09:22. > :09:27.high-profile collisions on this road but when we look at the collision
:09:28. > :09:28.rate compared to roads of a more size we find it has a relatively
:09:29. > :09:30.good safety record. Research carried out for BBC South
:09:31. > :09:33.paints a picture of the A34. Over the last ten years,
:09:34. > :09:35.the number of crashes Broadly in line with
:09:36. > :09:39.the national trend. Some parts of the route
:09:40. > :09:43.are higher risk than others. The northern and southern
:09:44. > :09:46.ends are worst. There are different ways
:09:47. > :09:54.of measuring road safety. But the crash rate here on the A34
:09:55. > :09:57.is around one third less than the national average for this
:09:58. > :10:00.type of road. Let's compare it with similar
:10:01. > :10:04.roads in this region. The A34 is much worse
:10:05. > :10:10.than the A303 in Wiltshire. But it is safer than both the A3
:10:11. > :10:16.in Surrey and the A31 in Hampshire. The crashes here are mostly
:10:17. > :10:20.due to driver error. Not to the design of the road
:10:21. > :10:35.or the number of vehicles. There is an issue on this road with
:10:36. > :10:39.the variance of speed. When you have vehicles travelling at different
:10:40. > :10:42.speeds the risk increases significantly so it may be that
:10:43. > :10:45.smoothing traffic speed and increasing the amount of space
:10:46. > :10:46.between vehicles would be a significant step.
:10:47. > :10:48.Here, just over one vehicle in ten is a lorry.
:10:49. > :10:50.So we looked specifically at crashes involving heavy goods vehicles.
:10:51. > :10:53.Over the last ten years the rate has fluctuated.
:10:54. > :11:00.And it's ahead of the national average.
:11:01. > :11:05.The A34 has seen some truly horrendous crashes.
:11:06. > :11:07.But putting all the statistics together, we've found no evidence
:11:08. > :11:26.that it's significantly more dangerous than other roads.
:11:27. > :11:32.Those are the statistics but one thing is clear, those who are less
:11:33. > :11:36.alongside the road are unlikely to be changed in their conviction that
:11:37. > :11:42.something has to change, and to give you a personal perspective, coming
:11:43. > :11:45.here I had to brake sharply on two occasions when Lawrie spilled out
:11:46. > :11:51.with little or no warning. A case of bad driving or that when you have
:11:52. > :11:52.fast moving traffic and slow-moving the there is always the potential
:11:53. > :11:54.for the conflict. Thank you. And I'll be presenting a live
:11:55. > :11:56.debate on the subject, with three of our local radio
:11:57. > :11:58.stations, tomorrow morning, from the village of East
:11:59. > :12:05.Ilsley, in Berkshire. A care worker has gone on trial
:12:06. > :12:07.accused of stealing money from a 74-year-old man on a visit
:12:08. > :12:10.to his home at Littlehampton, At Chichester Crown Court,
:12:11. > :12:13.39-year-old Theresa Stratton is accused of theft from widower
:12:14. > :12:16.David Skerritt, who had Parkinson's The jury was played CCTV footage
:12:17. > :12:19.which the prosecution says shows Miss Stratton taking money
:12:20. > :12:21.from his wallet. She told police she needed
:12:22. > :12:23.petrol and Mr Skerritt Miss Stratton, from
:12:24. > :12:26.Littlehampton, denies theft. The train drivers' union ASLEF says
:12:27. > :12:36.it will resume talks The talks are aimed at resolving
:12:37. > :12:40.the ongoing dispute over the introduction
:12:41. > :12:41.of driver-only operated trains. A deal struck between union bosses
:12:42. > :12:44.and the rail company was rejected The RMT union, which
:12:45. > :12:48.represents guards, is not City of London Police have charged
:12:49. > :12:54.a Dorset man in connection with the sale of fake car
:12:55. > :12:56.airbags on ebay. Robert Czernik from Blackbird Close,
:12:57. > :12:59.in Poole, is alleged to have sold goods likely to be mistaken
:13:00. > :13:01.for a registered trade mark. He is due to appear before
:13:02. > :13:06.magistrates in March. Bournemouth father-of-three
:13:07. > :13:09.Stephen Mallon was fatally injured after being attacked by armed locals
:13:10. > :13:13.and pushed from a 16 foot ledge. Today, at an inquest,
:13:14. > :13:16.his family were told they are now free to bury Stephen's body -
:13:17. > :13:36.eight years after he died. A quiet Spanish village and an
:13:37. > :13:37.unlikely scene for the most violent of unprovoked attacks.
:13:38. > :13:41.Stephen Mallon and his two sons were set upon by 30 men armed
:13:42. > :13:43.with knuckle dusters, iron bars, belts and bottles.
:13:44. > :13:46.A night in Spain, that ensured this family woud never be the same.
:13:47. > :13:55.When they came out of that Barbie were surrounded and cornered in. An
:13:56. > :14:00.armed mob waiting for them, two young lads with their dad and then
:14:01. > :14:06.being chased through those cobbled streets and being trapped, it is
:14:07. > :14:10.horrific. Spanish courts took five years to imprison just one man. He
:14:11. > :14:11.served five years for the equivalent of manslaughter and has been
:14:12. > :14:13.released. Long before Stephen's body was been
:14:14. > :14:21.released from Bournemouth Mortuary. It really is like a living nightmare
:14:22. > :14:28.and we got so used to Stephen being in the mortuary and it seemed really
:14:29. > :14:32.quite normal to us, which is really weird because it is abnormal. We
:14:33. > :14:37.cannot go up and stand outside the mortuary door, we have nowhere to go
:14:38. > :14:41.and we cannot go to a grave only garden of remembrance. Just awful.
:14:42. > :14:43.Stephen's two sons Peter and Carl have both been psychologically
:14:44. > :14:48.scarred and diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress.
:14:49. > :14:57.He dry fighting for his life and for our lives and we wouldn't be here
:14:58. > :15:01.without him. It is unfair, the amount of people that attacked us,
:15:02. > :15:10.just too much. It went on for too long. He didn't deserve to be left
:15:11. > :15:13.like that in the mortuary. Since 2014 the delay has been caused by an
:15:14. > :15:13.appeal process and the lack of legal aid.
:15:14. > :15:18.The Mallon Family have criticised Dorset Cornoer's Office for a lack
:15:19. > :15:20.of a communication - having made little or no contact.
:15:21. > :15:22.Today's Coroner Rachel Griffin apologised for the delays
:15:23. > :15:24.but in a statement blamed the Spanish judicial system -
:15:25. > :15:26.adding it was something beyond their control.
:15:27. > :15:29.A concusion of "Unlawful Killing" was heard.
:15:30. > :15:36.Stephen's funeral has now been scheduled for later this week.
:15:37. > :15:46.He would be so heartbroken to see really what his family has had to go
:15:47. > :15:52.through these past seven years. He would just want his children to
:15:53. > :15:56.recover and move forward from this. He was always laughing and joking,
:15:57. > :16:09.always smiling. He was just a lovely man.
:16:10. > :16:11.Alexis has the weather forecast later and some people
:16:12. > :16:18.Will the wet and windy weather continued? Some of us love it and
:16:19. > :16:29.some of us don't. On to sport and there really is the
:16:30. > :16:35.one big subject to talk about. A great day out for Saints fans but
:16:36. > :16:42.not the result they wanted and what about that disallowed goal? We ended
:16:43. > :16:47.a programme on Friday standing here and waving flags because that is
:16:48. > :16:53.what it will be remembered for. A flag that was incorrectly raised for
:16:54. > :16:59.offside, by most people's reckoning. The interpretation of the rule has
:17:00. > :17:02.changed but the current law stands and it brings into question whether
:17:03. > :17:09.football will change with the times you bet. And the company behind this
:17:10. > :17:14.new technology. We have featured Hawk-Eye and this could be one of
:17:15. > :17:18.the companies that comes in to bring the goal-line technology, or more
:17:19. > :17:23.than just the going technology, the changing decisions. They are testing
:17:24. > :17:27.it in the likes of Italy and the Netherlands. Taking goal-line
:17:28. > :17:29.technology to the next phase. World football's governing body FIFA
:17:30. > :17:32.will meet with the home nations this Friday at Wembley to discuss
:17:33. > :17:33.extending the use The venue is apt after
:17:34. > :17:37.what seems another example of human error in yesterday's EFL
:17:38. > :17:39.Cup final. Southampton were beaten 3-2
:17:40. > :17:40.by Manchester United but they were left to rue a critical
:17:41. > :17:44.early call which denied them a goal and their new star striker
:17:45. > :17:59.a potential Wembley hat trick. Full of praise for their team and
:18:00. > :18:04.frustration for the officials. The ones of this final will take time to
:18:05. > :18:12.heal for the Saints fans. We should be proud. We are gutted, we should
:18:13. > :18:18.have won that game. The march to Wembley began at Saint movies and
:18:19. > :18:22.match these don't come much bigger. Swamped by red and white. 15 days to
:18:23. > :18:28.prepare men they looked fresher what's on Manchester United fans
:18:29. > :18:34.still arguing the gall to any final back in 1976 was offside. Perhaps
:18:35. > :18:39.this was payback. Few believe Ryan Bertrand was interfering with play.
:18:40. > :18:45.You need those decisions to go for you especially any major final,
:18:46. > :18:48.playing against a team of the quality of Manchester United. It
:18:49. > :18:53.would have been massive for us as we got that. A cruel moment ruthlessly
:18:54. > :19:02.exploited by United before the break. Ibrahimovic's goal priceless.
:19:03. > :19:07.When Jesse Lingard made it two, some thought it was all over, but the
:19:08. > :19:19.Saints stamped and they grabbed one back and in a wonderful start to the
:19:20. > :19:25.second half, he would level. Gabbiadini has done it again! The
:19:26. > :19:31.game then came down to two headers, but with wood minutes to play,
:19:32. > :19:41.Ibrahimovic's hit the net, and soon after it was all over. Everyone is
:19:42. > :19:49.very sad. They must be proud of what we has done and we wanted to feel
:19:50. > :19:54.it. I didn't think we were going to get a single goal tonight. You could
:19:55. > :20:00.look at it in a negative way and we were in a cup final! I think we were
:20:01. > :20:05.the better team and the statistics will say that. We put the ball on
:20:06. > :20:13.the net three times and it should have gone to extra time. I really
:20:14. > :20:23.thought we had it at one point and we just needed one more goal.
:20:24. > :20:26.Revenge from 1976 but Saints won't forget this one in a hurry.
:20:27. > :20:29.A lot of the reaction has focused on the goal that wasn't
:20:30. > :20:32.In today's Daily Telegraph former Referee Keith Hackett describes
:20:33. > :20:35.the offside flag as atrocious and goes onto to say "Either way it
:20:36. > :20:39.should have been an easy decision and it is one that officials at this
:20:40. > :20:42.Saints legend Matthew le Tissier kept it short: "disgusting decision"
:20:43. > :20:49.The view from NBC Sports' Joe Prince Wright: "It was a shocker
:20:50. > :20:52.of a call and ultimately changed the outcome of the game."
:20:53. > :20:57.One from yours truly as Gabbiadini scored his second "that's
:20:58. > :21:15.Lloyd sent us this picture of supporters gathered in Dubai.
:21:16. > :21:23.And here's the red and white turnout in New York City.
:21:24. > :21:31.Good turnout as well. One other piece of news from Southampton, the
:21:32. > :21:36.club's director of scouting Ross Wilson has been targeted by Rangers
:21:37. > :21:39.as their new director of football. The Glasgow club are restructuring
:21:40. > :21:42.their setup after losing Mark Warburton. Lots of other football
:21:43. > :21:54.this weekend, here is the round-up. The first of two mega matches at the
:21:55. > :22:01.annex in four base, well beaten by an Albion side that fought them on
:22:02. > :22:05.the break. This neat control helped put Brighton into a first-half lead.
:22:06. > :22:12.Albion picked the moment in the second half putting the game to bed,
:22:13. > :22:18.Jamie Murphy outpacing the backline. Chasing the game, the Reading
:22:19. > :22:23.defence was threadbare. The points sealed ten minutes from time.
:22:24. > :22:28.Tomorrow night a capacity crowd sees Newcastle visit. Eddie Howe's
:22:29. > :22:31.Bournemouth haven't won in 2017 and on Saturday they suffered their
:22:32. > :22:37.fourth consecutive defeat in the league. They won an early penalty,
:22:38. > :22:49.but Locke wasn't on the site as the shot took a wicked deflection to
:22:50. > :22:56.equalise. More eyes on the keeper, flapping at the corner and suddenly
:22:57. > :23:01.they were 2-1 up. Five points above the drop zone. Portsmouth are on the
:23:02. > :23:05.up, three goals in the last 20 minutes. Gary Roberts putting them
:23:06. > :23:14.one up and look at this one from long range. Into stoppage time we go
:23:15. > :23:23.and plenty of space to make it three goals and points, hunting the top
:23:24. > :23:26.three. Very good. Just to say, a lot of football the last few days and
:23:27. > :23:37.the big match coming up but also sailing.
:23:38. > :23:39.The Duchess of Cornwall has praised the skill and spirit
:23:40. > :23:41.of soldiers returning home to Hampshire from Iraq.
:23:42. > :23:43.She spoke to soldiers of The Fourth Battallion
:23:44. > :23:45."The Rifles", in Aldershot, about their recent
:23:46. > :23:47.deployment helping to train Iraqi security forces.
:23:48. > :23:49.Friends and family watched on as it rained heavily on the parade
:23:50. > :24:02.More to continue and we saw a bit of a lovely puddle jumping deadlier. We
:24:03. > :24:03.had some lovely rainbows. A bit of a blustery day and blustery conditions
:24:04. > :24:07.continuing through this week. It was a cold and wet start
:24:08. > :24:10.to the day on Hythe Pier. This picture was sent
:24:11. > :24:12.in by Penny Wade. Camilla Woodhouse captured a double
:24:13. > :24:28.rainbow in Duntish in Dorset. A cold and blustery start and there
:24:29. > :24:34.will be sunshine at times as well and a brisk wind on occasion.
:24:35. > :24:37.Clearing skies and that may be the case overnight with the chance of
:24:38. > :24:41.one to two wintry showers the further north you head, slightly
:24:42. > :24:47.more rain towards the Isle of Wight and the temperature falling to
:24:48. > :24:52.freezing. HLA start and mainly dry, one or two wintry showers and lots
:24:53. > :24:56.of sunshine. During the course of the day we see the showers rolling
:24:57. > :25:01.and maybe went to the over high ground but sleeps next and as well,
:25:02. > :25:06.the temperature reaching a high of eight Celsius and the wind risk from
:25:07. > :25:10.the West. Showers rattling their way through and the showers will
:25:11. > :25:14.continue for some tomorrow night. For most it will be dry with a few
:25:15. > :25:17.clear spells and the temperature falling to freezing in the
:25:18. > :25:23.countryside, these are the temperatures in our towns and
:25:24. > :25:26.cities, so the chance of ice on untreated surfaces and a dry and
:25:27. > :25:30.bright start for Wednesday and through the course of the afternoon
:25:31. > :25:34.rain starts to push up from the south mainly affecting southern
:25:35. > :25:38.coastal counties, still a bit of uncertainty as to how far north the
:25:39. > :25:45.rain will be but the further north you are we hold onto the sunshine
:25:46. > :25:50.through most of the day, highs 8-10. Thursday is the highest with a rich
:25:51. > :25:53.of high pressure building and decent amounts of sunshine although the
:25:54. > :25:57.wind starts to increase and the next weather system will arrive through
:25:58. > :26:00.the course of Friday and that rain band on Friday could be quite heavy
:26:01. > :26:05.at times. This is just an indication of the weather on Friday because of
:26:06. > :26:10.his a few days away but we hope it clears in the evening with the
:26:11. > :26:15.temperature reaching a high of nine. A few days away, things can change,
:26:16. > :26:19.but rain or showers and feeling chilly with sunny spells at times.
:26:20. > :26:29.That's it from others, more later but tonight we leave you with some
:26:30. > :26:34.of the images of the fans from yesterday's cup final. Good night.
:26:35. > :27:18.Go on! Gabbiadini has done it again! Ibrahimovic puts Manchester United
:27:19. > :27:21.3-2 up! Manchester United three, Southampton two. They hardly deserve
:27:22. > :27:25.it. I thought we were brilliant tonight. They had lost with honour
:27:26. > :27:54.and pride. To be in the Lords,
:27:55. > :27:56.you have to be punctual... literally have to slam
:27:57. > :28:00.the door in somebody's face. What right do they have
:28:01. > :28:05.to tell ME about my fashion sense.
