:00:00. > :00:11.Horse riders in Berkshire who were the victims of a vicious
:00:12. > :00:13.dog attack are calling on the government to review the law.
:00:14. > :00:16.The attack on two horses and their riders left one
:00:17. > :00:19.of the animals needing six and a half hours of surgery.
:00:20. > :00:21.And its owner says she's shocked that the police say no
:00:22. > :00:32.Anna Bunton still has nightmares about the attack.
:00:33. > :00:34.Her horse Mo's injuries were so severe,
:00:35. > :00:41.to stop the bleeding and carefully stitch her back together again.
:00:42. > :00:44.The dog which attacked them was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
:00:45. > :01:05.As soon as it started biting, it just turned into a wild animal and
:01:06. > :01:10.it was jumping for the jugular. It took off with the dog still biting
:01:11. > :01:15.at the back legs and then the dog that my leg and hung on for quite a
:01:16. > :01:21.long time and all I remember was just seeing its face lunging at us
:01:22. > :01:25.at every conceivable angle. I wasn't aware of those injuries until I had
:01:26. > :01:26.walked away and could see the blood on her.
:01:27. > :01:28.The dog's owner eventually managed to get the dog off,
:01:29. > :01:31.but then let it go again and it went for Lauren Colwell's
:01:32. > :01:41.She had a massive cut on her leg. The vet shaved the area and said it
:01:42. > :01:45.was a lot worse than it looked because of the possession. If it had
:01:46. > :01:53.been another half an inch we could be looking at having to get her put
:01:54. > :01:56.down. In a statement Thames Valley Police said officers investigated
:01:57. > :02:00.the incident and it was established no criminal incident had occurred.
:02:01. > :02:06.The incident was resolved at the satisfaction of the owner of the dog
:02:07. > :02:09.and of the horse. They are far from satisfied. They have started a
:02:10. > :02:15.parliamentary petition for the law to be reviewed. I just want there to
:02:16. > :02:22.be a re-evaluation of the laws. It was in a public place, the animal
:02:23. > :02:25.was injured and humans were injured and the owner allowed to walk away
:02:26. > :02:30.without punishment. Physical wounds are healing that Anna hasn't found
:02:31. > :02:31.the courage to take habit of the yard for a ride.
:02:32. > :02:34.An inquest jury has concluded that neglect contributed to the suicide
:02:35. > :02:35.of a 22-year-old man in Winchester prison.
:02:36. > :02:38.Daryl Hargrave, who had a history of mental health issues,
:02:39. > :02:40.was found hanged in his cell in July 2015.
:02:41. > :02:43.The inquest heard that he had been on remand for six days.
:02:44. > :02:46.The jury found there was a failure to provide treatment for psychosis
:02:47. > :02:48.and a decision not to put him on constant supervision also
:02:49. > :03:10.We feel that the jury couldn't have done any more. They have said it all
:03:11. > :03:24.in one word, neglect. What do you hope will be the legacy? We pray
:03:25. > :03:27.that his death all we can ask is that lessons are learned and for the
:03:28. > :03:29.present, more training. Two fire stations in Berkshire may
:03:30. > :03:33.have to close as the Fire Authority looks to save almost two

:03:38. > :03:41.made later this month. Conductors on Southern Rail

:03:58. > :04:05.who are rude, turn up late or look scruffy is gathering pace
:04:06. > :04:08.across the region. Next month, Mid Sussex District
:04:09. > :04:12.Council will become the latest authority to introduce a penalty
:04:13. > :04:14.points system for cabbies And if a driver accumulates 12
:04:15. > :04:18.penalty points they could Steve Humphrey has been looking
:04:19. > :04:22.at this and joins me now. Steve, this is a very clear
:04:23. > :04:25.message to taxi drivers? Yes, these new penalty points
:04:26. > :04:27.systems apply to both taxi drivers and drivers
:04:28. > :04:30.of private hire vehicles. Mid Sussex District Council says
:04:31. > :04:32.it's a good way of closely monitoring the behaviour and conduct
:04:33. > :04:34.of drivers - For instance, drivers
:04:35. > :04:45.with dirty or scruffy cars Those who go the long way
:04:46. > :04:48.round to boost the fare And those who turn away a customer
:04:49. > :04:53.without a good excuse could get Any driver who accumulates 12
:04:54. > :05:00.points within two years We've been talking to
:05:01. > :05:16.cabbies in Haywards Heath. I think it is a good idea but a few
:05:17. > :05:22.things are strict, you cannot have food and said, a bottle of water,
:05:23. > :05:28.what are you going to do? I keep my car clean and tidy like most of the
:05:29. > :05:36.guys do. I can't see why the council want to award you points. My car is
:05:37. > :05:38.always clean anyway. They don't pay me enough to drive over the limit! I
:05:39. > :05:39.just think it is crazy. What has Mid-Sussex Council said
:05:40. > :05:42.about its new penalty points system? Well, the council wants to make sure
:05:43. > :05:45.taxis and private hire vehicles are It also says the system
:05:46. > :05:51.will highlight repeat offenders. It is something others
:05:52. > :05:53.councils have introduced - including Reading and East
:05:54. > :05:56.Hampshire, and Portsmouth has had Football and Brighton overtook
:05:57. > :06:07.Newcastle at the top of the Championship tonight
:06:08. > :06:10.after a 2-1 win away at QPR. Brighton had two goals disallowed
:06:11. > :06:13.before Tomer Hemed put Glenn Murray Four minutes later Sebastien
:06:14. > :06:18.Pocognoli scored this free kick. QPR pulled one back -
:06:19. > :06:20.but Albion are now one step closer That's all from the South Today
:06:21. > :06:30.news team this evening. We're back tomorrow evening
:06:31. > :06:32.at 6:45 and there's more Newsnight will be starting
:06:33. > :06:36.shortly on BBC Two but now Alexis Green is here
:06:37. > :06:45.with our regional weather forecast. Good evening. A lovely day for most
:06:46. > :06:50.and we saw a high of 18 Celsius and tomorrow could be warmer. Turning
:06:51. > :06:54.chilly with mist and fog patches developing in the early hours and
:06:55. > :07:01.maybe the odd pockets of frost. We could see the temperature falls to
:07:02. > :07:08.one Celsius. Mist and fog could and once it does we will have blue skies
:07:09. > :07:12.above. It could be higher than today reaching a high of 20. It will feel
:07:13. > :07:16.cooler along the coast with the slight breeze from the south-east
:07:17. > :07:20.but the temperature will do well in line and it could be warmer still
:07:21. > :07:26.through Thursday with the temperature reaching a high of 21,
:07:27. > :07:29.so the weekend will be dry and settled with high, warm
:07:30. > :07:32.temperatures, but cooler into next week.
:07:33. > :07:33.Monday, and north-westerly wind will drag in more cloud and temperatures
:07:34. > :07:44.will be down by 8-9 . Hello, my advice would be to make
:07:45. > :07:47.the most of the weather this weekend, if you can. Because there
:07:48. > :07:51.will be a good day love sunshine on offer and it will continue to warm
:07:52. > :07:56.up as well. This picture was taken in Cumbria, at Workington, later in
:07:57. > :07:59.the afternoon. We got the sunshine eventually in northern England but
:08:00. > :08:02.it's in the Northwest we have the lowest temperatures at the moment.
:08:03. > :08:04.Under clear skies, it's turning quite chilly. There's
